The Subtle Art of Birth Control
Its not what you think
The current state of humanity and this planet shouldn’t be attributed to the large population, but rather to the collective energy field that we have co-created. Mother Earth is abundant in its resources and has enough for everyone's needs.
There is enough for everybody's need and not for everyone's greed
Mahatma Gandhi
The birth control we need is not of the population but rather of waste and negative thoughts. Two very potent contraceptives come to my mind to avoid the birth of such thoughts — understanding, and acceptance.
Observing how this mind is functioning, its thinking patterns and conditioning, and the triggers will give us a deeper understanding of ourselves. This understanding will also naturally bring discipline in our lives which will help us in our journey from living through the unconscious to living mindfully and making conscious choices.
Acceptance of the present moment as it is without any resistance. Questions like — why would he do this? Why does he speak like this? Why wasn’t this done this way? If there is a deep acceptance of whatever is, then these thoughts would never be conceptualized. Such thoughts start a chain of thoughts pulling us into a state of mind we don’t want to be in.
Birth Control of such thoughts would preserve our energy and would increase the energy available to be invested in a direction that would be more aligned to the vision we hold for ourselves. We will protect ourselves from suffering and fill our lives with more meaning, love, and happiness.
May we have the wisdom to accept things that are not in our control.
May we relinquish our desire, if any remains, to control circumstances and other people.
May we all perform an effective birth control of our waste and negative thoughts.
