Seen anything from other perspective today? If not here is a little fact for you, just something to nibble on, just a little reminder on how little we know about our powerful brain.
"The human brain is made up of 100 billion neurons and nearly 100 trillion synapses. There is more than 300 times more connections in the brain than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy."
- I fucking love science
Pretty crazy!

Balance Yin and Yang
Yin and yang, light and dark, hot and cold, fast and slow, high and low, fire and water, soft and hard, sun and moon, life and death and so on..
Somewhere in this big soup of everything we have to find a balance. We have to find love.
And don't get me wrong here. When I'm talking about love I usually focus on the bright side of it, because it is so much more fun. BUT there is no love where there's no truth or knowledge. The worlds truth today has a lot of darkness as well. To find and fight for love we can not ignore everything that's wrong in this world. We have to acknowledge the dark side too, that a lot of people look away from. It's like a blind spot that we all need to work on. I'm not the biggest fan, for example watching the news.. It's extremely negative and boring.. But I shouldn't look away from it and pretend that it doesn't happen, even if a lot of what shows on the news only are from one perspective, the raw information is still factual. Be critical, because everything in the media, your teachers, your parents, your friends, the newspaper and society dictates is not always right. Stop being lazy and dont accept it to control you. When we were kids we had great imaginations, where did it go? How can we let for example the government take it away for us? It's time to wake up! We all have been asleep for to long. The more we are objective with ourselves and work with raising our awareness, the more we see things as they are. The higher the degree of love we can access.
Take a step outside the box, I know it's hard, because you are probably thinking to yourself "why? I'm comfortable here, I'm happy here, I get money, why would I do something else, it might be scary, I don't want to make a mistake, You Greta, you are weird man.. Greta, stop it you are crazy"
My boyfriend and I was talking about this the other day;
Imagine for a second someone raised in a cupboard, being kept in the dark and having every aspect of their lives dictated by their guardian, they had no idea of what was outside it, so in their ignorance they would be happy and comfortable in there. Because that's all of what they know of and all that they have. Are you getting what I'm saying here? "People accept the realities of which they are given" Take a step.
If we really want the shifting concensiness we need to start with ourself, look yourself in the mirror, work with yourself to see yourself as you truly are and than work with what's around you and see that what it's truly are. Without ignoring the things that don't always look to pretty..
It's a big, big soup we got here. With tiny tiny people with big big egos.. BUT I believe we have a BIGGER heart. Please don't be afraid to show it. The time is now.
An ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contridiction of what is. An ideal prevent direct action upon what it. To have peace we will have to love,we will have to begin not to live n ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them". - J.Krishnamrti

Weirdness
Don't be fooled by the weirdness, let it in, with open arms. Use it, use it for something good, make a change. Your own beautiful weirdness, get out there and share it! Don't let the unknown or the stereotyped society push you away. Be aware of it, but don't let it take control over you.
Dare to be you!

On the other side of the clouds
Even before you are enlightened - before you have freed yourself from your mind - you may get a few or many glimpses of true joy, true love, or of a deep inner peace, still but vibrantly alive. These are aspects of our true nature, which is usually obscured by the mind. Even within a "normal" addictive relationship, there can be moments when presence of something genuine, something incorruptible, can be felt. But they will only be glimpses, soon to covered up again through mind interference. It may then seem that you had something very precious and lost it, you know that feeling? Or your mind may convince your that it was all an illusion anyway. The truth is that it wasn't an illusion, and you cannot lose it. That very precious is a part of your natural state, which can be obscured but can NEVER be destroyed by the mind. Be proud of that beautiful part of you, hang on to that precious thing, called love.
Even when the sky is heavily overcast, the sun hasn't disappeared. It's still there on the other side of the clouds.

Rising above thought
The mind is a instrument, a tool. Don't be a fool and let it control you.
It's not that much that we are using our mind wrongly, we usually don't use it at all. It uses us.

Tell em!
"I wanna be happy"
You go boy! You'll tell them!!
Logan Laplante is a 13 year-old boy who was taken out of the education system to be home schooled instead. Not only was he home schooled, but Logan had the ability to tailor his education to his interests and also his style of learning, something traditional education does not offer. As Logan has mentioned, when he grows up he wants to be happy and healthy. At a TEDx talk in 2013, he discussed how hacking his education is helping him achieve that goal.

Something my clever, beautiful boy friend wrote to me when I was feeling a bit lost. :)
When you believe in things that others do not, it makes you different.
It makes you behave different, think different, gives you different values and a different perspective on life.
To be different is to stray from the road, the group, the mainstream, its to play in the grass, to walk, skip, jump and follow the rhythm of your own beat. Its to be free of the road, to go left, to go right, fast or slow. Its to grow.
Now the people from the road, the group, the normal, they will mock you, taunt you and talk about you and call you crazy, its their programming, its what keeps THEM in tact, they fear their peers thoughts, what they think and say, thats why they follow the road, marching to someone else's beat, pace and direction. Lead by an invisible leader, its conformity, obedience and slavery. A line of sheep being herded.
The best thing is from your crazy view point, you can see the whole road, where it leads and its leaders, you no longer are blinded from your limited perspective. You've seen more from opening your mind and perspectives, you have become free, broken the bonds of mental slavery and can start learning what it means to be awake/ALIVE.
Namaste.
