5 Ways to Focus Your Energy, Not On Fighting the Old, But on Building the New “Warriors, warriors we call ourselves. We fight for splendid virtue, for high endeavor, for sublime wisdom, therefore we call ourselves peaceful warriors.” – Aunguttara Nikaya “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” This is a quote from a character named Socrates in Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. As it stands, modern day peaceful warriors are utilizing Gar Alperovitz’s concept of “evolutionary reconstruction” as an alternative to revolution. This idea of evolutionary reconstruction helps us to focus our energy on building the new so we can eventually replace the old. While the old system decays and slowly dies around us, бид, as evolutionary reconstructing peaceful warriors, can build the new by using the ashes of the old as compost for the garden of the new. Бид coHroлT бaйHa: learn to live in ashes, or rise like a phoenix. Here are five ways to focus our energy on building the new. 1) Before you act, listen “What is the cure for hubristic vision? It is, perhaps, to listen –to listen more subtly, more perceptively, more deeply. Our future may well depend upon the precise intent of our willingness to expand our ways of knowing” –Richard Tarnas Where Peaceful warriors realize they still have use of their hearing, the common man believes he has heard all he needs to hear and has thus lost the use of his hearing. Peaceful warriors listen, or at least attempt to listen, while the common man has no reason for listening at all. The common man is blind to all but what has been culturally injected into him by mass appeal and status-quo vanity. Peaceful warriors listen to nature, using Derrick Jensen’s “language older than words,” but they also listen to the dying whimpers of the old system. And if we listen closely we will discover what is healthy and what is unhealthy about the old way of doing things. When you get really quiet and listen to the silence, you discover new aspects of yourself longing to speak. The question is: are you willing to listen? Instead of simply asking, “How shall I live my life?” Peaceful warriors also ask the land where they live, the land that supports them, “What can I do to become your ally, to help protect you from this destructive culture? What can we do together to stop this culture from killing you?” If you ask that question, and you truly listen, then the land will tell you what it needs. And then the only real question is: are you willing to do it? 2) Before you react, think “How can we be receptive to the mind’s riches and not just reactive to its reflexes? How can we direct our thoughts and feelings rather than be driven by them?” –Daniel J. Siegel Peaceful warriors stand in stark contrast to the common man, not so much in action but in reaction to their capacity for critical thought and spontaneous joy. In a world of dueling dualities –democrat/republican, liberal/conservative, rich/poor, capitalist/communist, black/white, gay/straight– they stand as voices of reason amidst the smoke and mirrors of bipartisan chaos. They are excellent at assessing the big-picture situation, reading between the lines, and utilizing the middle gray before reacting. Like JFK said, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.” It’s easy to get caught up in the right-wing left-wing political claptrap. We’ve all been guilty of it before. But such thinking entrenches us in the old way, and forces us to fight the old. In order to focus on creating the new we have to let go of this outdated method of thinking. Duality is overrated anyway. Building the new asks that we become more holistic in our thinking. Before you react to sociopolitical nonsense, think. You are your own person, an aspect of the system but free to come and go as you choose, with your own capacity for rational thought. Practice being the most authentic version of yourself by remembering to think before you react. 3) Before you challenge the system, challenge yourself “The revolution begins at home. If you overthrow yourself again and again, you might earn the right to overthrow the rest of us.” –Rob Brezsny Peaceful warriors are adept at self-interrogation. They understand that the system is made up of people who have given into the system, and that they were once (or still are) one of those people. In order to become an effective agent of change, we must be able to challenge ourselves and our preconditioned assumptions about the way things are. We are all artifacts of the system to some degree or another. It’s up to us to be responsible enough to figure out what works and what doesn’t, what’s healthy and what’s not, otherwise we are just products of the system, cogs in a cultural clock. Like Mark Twain wrote, “To create man was a fine and original idea; but to add the sheep was a tautology.” Challenging ourselves before attempting to challenge the system is exactly getting back to the “original idea” and letting go of the outdated “sheep” way of living. “Society demands that you act according to an idea;” wrote Krishnamurti “that is all society knows; that is all that human beings know: conform, imitate, accept, and obey. And when one accepts the edicts of tradition, conforms to the pattern that society has set up then one is part of this whole conditioned human existence that wastes energy through constant conflict, confusion, and misery.” In order to rise above this conditioning, we must be able to recondition the precondition, and we do that through effective self-interrogation. & Nbsp; 4) Before you accuse, forgive “To err is human. Yet most of us go through life assuming that we are right about nearly everything. If being wrong is so natural, why are we all so bad at imagining that our beliefs could be mistaken, and why do we react to our errors with surprise, denial, defensiveness, and shame?” –Katheryn Schultz Peaceful warriors are empaths par excellence. They realize that none of us chose to be born into this unsustainable system. We had no choice in the matter on how we were going to be raised. Some of us experienced trauma and excruciating loss. Life has a way of throwing us for a loop. It’s for these reasons that we should be empathetic to the actions and motivations of others. Some of us, probably the majority of us, have unhealthy ways of seeing the world. But those of us who are healthy need to be patient with them. We must lead by example, and hope they follow suit. None of this is possible without authentic forgiveness. Those of us who are conscious need to first forgive those who are unconscious before we attempt to teach them consciousness. Acting with forgiveness is trumping Small Mind, which is petty and personal, with Big Mind, which is holistic and mature. Like Laurence Sterne wrote, “Only the brave know how to forgive. A coward never forgives; it is not in his nature.” But forgiving doesn’t mean we forget, and love does not imply pacifism, so we must be stern and steadfast with our forgiveness. Give others the room they need to grow and become healthy, but realize that sometimes leading them to knowledge doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to use it in a healthy way. This is where a consummate patience comes into play. Just be sure to continuously remind them of the wise words of Eliezer Yudkowsky, “You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.” 5) While you create, give “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” –Ernest Hemingway Peaceful warriors are focused on creating the new, despite the old. Like a modern day Prometheus they steal fire from the gods and gift it to mortals. We all have this power, a connection to the universe that is unique to us. We each have the capacity to learn from this connection, a particular flavor of knowledge that cannot be gained in any other way than through us. As such, it behooves us all to discover what that knowledge is. And like Prometheus, we must gift our fire to the world. We should do this as we focus on building the new. Giving goes to the gift-giver, and it is an all-around healing process. One of the most cathartic experiences we can have is found in the act of helping others. We can actually heal ourselves by healing others. The experience gained from past wounds might be exactly what is needed to help someone else who has been similarly wounded. Gift-giving, especially gifting knowledge about how to become conscious in an unconscious world, is critical to building the new. Helping ourselves in order to help others helps the world. Like Lao Tzu wrote, “If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” Image source: CэTrэrдэл Thank you for once again delivering, as you always seem to do, another beautiful inspirational article.

5 Načina da se usredotočite vaše energije, Nije na borbu protiv Stari, No, na gradnju novih “Warriors, ratnici smo se nazvati. Borimo se za veličanstvene vrline, za visoku nastojanju, za uzvišene mudrosti, Stoga smo se nazvati miroljubivi ratnici.” – Aunguttara Ikawa "Tajna promjena je da se usredotočite sve svoje energije, Nije na borbu protiv starog, ali na izgradnji nove. "Ovo je citat iz nekog lika po imenu Sokrat u Put mirnog ratnika Dan Millman. Kako sada stvari stoje, Današnje miroljubivi ratnici su koriste Gar Alperovitz koncept "Evolucijski rekonstrukcija"Kao alternativa revolucije. Ova ideja evolucijske rekonstrukcije nam pomaže da se usredotočite svoju energiju na izgradnji nove tako da smo na kraju može zamijeniti stari. Dok stari sustav propada i polako umire oko nas, we, kao evolucijski rekonstruiranje miroljubivi ratnici, može graditi nova pomoću pepeo stara kao kompost za vrt Novo. Imamo izbor: naučiti živjeti u pepeo, ili uzdignuti kao feniks. Evo pet načina da se usredotočite svoju energiju na izgradnju nove. Prije nego što djeluje, slušati "Što je lijek za hubristic vizije? To, možda, slušati-to suptilnije slušati, više perceptively, dublje. Naša budućnost može dobro ovisiti o preciznom namjerom naše spremnosti da prošire svoje načine znajući "-Richard Tarnas Gdje Mirni ratnici shvate da još uvijek ima koristi od njihovog saslušanja, Običan čovjek vjeruje da je čuo sve što mu treba da se čuje, te je na taj način izgubio korištenje njegovog saslušanja. Mirni ratnici slušati, ili barem pokušati slušati, dok je običan čovjek nema razloga za slušanje na sve. Običan čovjek je slijepa za sve, ali ono što je kulturno ubrizgava u njega masovne žalbe i status quo taštine. Mirni ratnici slušati prirode, koristeći Derrick Jensen je "jezik stariji od riječi,"Ali oni također slušati umiru uzvik starog sustava. A ako ćemo pozorno slušati ćemo otkriti što je zdravo, a što nezdravo o starom načinu obavljanja stvari. Kada se jako tiho i slušati tišinu, te otkrivati nove aspekte sebe čežnje govoriti. Pitanje je: Jeste li spremni za slušanje? Umjesto da jednostavno tražeći, "Kako ću živjeti svoj život?"Mirni ratnici i pitati zemlju u kojoj žive, zemlja koja ih podržava, "Što mogu učiniti da postane vaš saveznik, kako bi vas zaštititi od ove destruktivne kulture? Što možemo učiniti zajedno da se zaustavi ovo kulture od vas ubijaju?"Ako ste postavili to pitanje, a vi uistinu slušate, onda zemlja će vam reći ono što treba. A onda je samo pravo je pitanje: Jeste li spremni to učiniti? Prije nego što reagiraju, misliti "Kako možemo biti osjetljiv na uma bogatstvu, a ne samo da reaguju na svojim refleksima? Kako možemo usmjeriti naše misli i osjećaji, nego da budu vođeni njih?"-Daniel J. Siegel Mirni ratnici stoje u oštroj suprotnosti s običnom čovjeku, Ne toliko u akciji, ali u reakciji na njihovu sposobnost za kritičko razmišljanje i spontane radosti. U svijetu dvoboja dualnosti -democrat/republican, liberalno / konzervativno, bogati / siromašni, kapitalistička / komunistička, crna / bijela, gay/straight- oni stoje kao glas razuma usred dima i zrcala od dvostranačkog kaosa. Oni su izvrsni u procjeni situacije big-picture, čitajući između redaka, i korištenje srednji siva prije reagirati. Poput JFK rekao, "Nemojmo tražiti republikanska odgovor ili Demokratsku odgovor, ali pravi odgovor. To je lako dobiti uhvaćen u desničarskog ljevičarske političke brbljarije. Svi smo bili krivi za to prije. No, takvo razmišljanje nas entrenches na stari način, i prisiljava nas da se bori stari. Kako bi se usredotočiti na stvaranje nove moramo pustiti ove zastarjele metode razmišljanja. Dvojnost je precijenjena ionako. Izgradnja nove pita da mi se više holistički u našem razmišljanju. Prije nego što reagiraju na društveno-političke gluposti, misliti. Vi ste svoj vlastiti osoba, aspekt sustava, ali slobodno doći i otići kao što se odlučite, sa svoje vlastite sposobnosti za racionalno razmišljanje. Praksa se najautentičniji verzija sebi prisjećajući razmišljati prije nego što reagiraju. Prije osporiti sustav, izazov sebe "Revolucija počinje kod kuće. Ako ste sami i opet svrgnuti, možda zaraditi pravo da obori nas ostale. "-Rob Brezsny Mirni ratnici su vješt u sebi ispitivanju. Oni razumiju da sustav se sastoji od ljudi koji su dali u sustav, i da su nekada (ili još uvijek jesu) jedan od onih ljudi. Da bi postali učinkovitiji agent promjena, moramo biti u mogućnosti da sebe i naše prekondicionirani pretpostavke izazov o postojećim stanjem stvari. Mi smo svi predmeti sustava do neke mjere ili drugi. To je do nas biti dovoljno odgovorni shvatiti što radi, a što ne, ono što je zdravo, a što nije, inače mi smo samo proizvodi sustava, cogs u kulturnom sat. Kao i Mark Twain pisao, "Za stvaranje čovjeka bilo u redu i izvorna ideja; ali dodati ovce je tautologija. "Problematično se prije pokušaja osporiti sustav se točno vratiti u" izvorne ideje "i puštajući zastarjelog" ovaca "način života. "Društvo zahtijeva da djeluju u skladu s idejom;"Pisao Krishnamurti" da je cijelo društvo zna; To je sve što su ljudska bića znali: prema, imitirati, prihvatiti, i poslušni. A kad netko prihvati zakonskih tradicije, odgovara uzorak koji je društvo postavljen onda jedan dio tog cijelog uvjetovano ljudskom postojanju da Otpad energiju kroz stalnom sukobu, zbunjenost, i bijeda. "Da bi se izdići iznad tog uvjetovanja, moramo biti u stanju preraditi preduvjet, i činimo da kroz učinkovite samo-ispitivanja. Prije nego što optužuju, oprostiti "Griješiti je ljudski. Ipak, većina nas idu kroz život pod pretpostavkom da smo u pravu za gotovo sve. Ako bude pogrešno je tako prirodno, Zašto smo svi tako loše na zamišljajući da naša vjerovanja mogu biti u zabludi, i zašto smo reagirati na naše pogreške s iznenađenje, poricanje, obrambeni stav, i sramota?"Katheryn Schultz Mirni ratnici su empaths par excellence. Oni su shvatili da nitko od nas izabrao da se rodi u ovaj sustav neodrživ. Nismo imali izbora u pitanju o tome da ćemo biti podignuta. Neki od nas su doživjeli traumu i bolan gubitak. Život je način nas bacanje za petlju. To je za tih razloga da bismo trebali biti empatični na akcije i motivacije drugih. Neki od nas, Vjerojatno je većina od nas, imaju nezdrave načine gledanja na svijet. No, oni od nas koji su zdravi treba biti strpljiv s njima. Moramo biti primjer, i nadamo se da slijedite odijelo. None of this is possible without authentic forgiveness. Oni od nas koji su svjesni najprije morati oprostiti onima koji su bez svijesti, prije nego što pokušaj da ih nauči svijest. Djelujući s oprostom je trumping Small uma, što je sitna i osobni, s Big Mind, što je cjelovite i zrele. Kao i Laurence Sterne pisao, "Samo hrabri znaju opraštati. Kukavica nikada ne oprašta; to nije u njegovoj prirodi. "No, oprostiti ne znači da trebamo zaboraviti, i ljubav ne podrazumijeva pacifizam, tako da moramo biti strog i uporan s našim oprost. Dajte drugima prostoriju koja im je potrebna kako bi rasti i postati zdrav, ali shvatite da ponekad dovodi ih do znanja nužno ne znači da ćemo ga koristiti na zdrav način. Ovo je mjesto gdje savršen strpljenje dolazi u igru. Samo budite sigurni da ih stalno podsjećati mudrih riječi Eliezer Yudkowsky, "Vi ste osobno odgovorni za sve više etički od društva što je odrastao u." Dok ste stvorili, dati "Ne postoji ništa plemenito u biti superiorniji bližnjemu; Istina plemstvo je biti superioran u odnosu na svog bivšeg sebe. "-Ernest Hemingway Mirni ratnici su usmjerene na stvaranje nove, unatoč stara. Kao moderna dan Prometeja oni kradu vatru od bogova i to dar smrtnicima. Svi mi imamo tu moć, veza u svemiru koja je jedinstvena za nas. Svatko od nas ima sposobnost učenja iz ove veze, Posebno okus znanja da se ne može dobiti na bilo koji drugi način nego kroz nas. As such, to nas sve behooves otkriti što da je znanje. I poput Prometeja, moramo dar našu vatru na svijetu. Trebali bi to učiniti kao što smo se fokusirati na izgradnju nove. Davanje ide na poklon-darivatelja, i to je proces all-around iscjeljivanje. Jedan od najvažnijih katarze iskustva možemo imati nalazi se u činu pomaganja drugima. Mi doista možemo liječiti ljekovitim drugima. Iskustvo stečeno u posljednjih rana može biti upravo ono što je potrebno kako bi se netko drugi tko je na sličan je ranjeno. Darivanje, pogotovo Vjenčanje znanje o tome kako postati svjesni u nesvjesnom svijetu, ključno je za izgradnju nove. Se pomaže kako bi pomogli drugima pomaže svijetu. Kao i Lao Tzu je napisao, "Ako želite da se probudi cijelo čovječanstvo, onda probuditi sve od sebe, ako želite eliminirati patnje u svijetu, zatim eliminirati sve što je mračno i negativno u sebi. Uistinu, najveći dar morate dati je da svoj self-transformacije. Izvor slike: Komentari Thank you for once again delivering, as you always seem to do, another beautiful inspirational article.
