Humus 4 Change: From the Circle of Pain

to Collective Consciousness and Universal Love

We all experience pain in various moment and in many aspects of our life through our thoughts, memories, emotions, actions and relationships. We are scared of pain because we are scared of change. We see pain as a punishment instead than a chance of transformation. Pain can show us our inner resources and vulnerabilities if we open ourselves to the divine vital source, letting go what is preventing our energy to flow.

Pain is like a river which can take us from one place to another if we can see it as a reflection of compassion. If we hold on to pain then we close our eyes to all the possibilities of changing and we will give pain to others to heal our own pain. The human detachment from nature and the constant pursuit of total control over the planet's resources for money have caused and continue to cause serious damage to the environment with an irreversible impact and compromising the ecosystem generating a separation between the Soul and the Earth.

We are Nature and what we do Nature we do to ourselves. If we bring pain into the world then the circle of pain will never end. If we can feel the powerful connection to one another through pain and love we will expand our sacred inner space where we are connected through Nature’s correspondences to the temple of collective wisdom and consciousness.

"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, and everything is transformed."

Alice Walker, the extraordinary author of Pulitzer Prize-winning novel ‘The Color Purple’, invites us to reflect about the meaning of activism in her book Anything we love can be saved’. -"During my years of being close to people engaged in changing the world I have seen fear turned into courage. Sorrow into joy. Funerals into celebrations. Because whatever the consequences, people, standing side by side, have expressed who they really are and that ultimately they believe in the love of the world and each other enough to be that- which is the foundation of activism”

Activism is not only about taking actions but at its roots there is the connection of our individual experience through existence to all the world, creating a collective

consciousness and becoming part of a universal community.
