The Philosophy of Love, Choice, and Existence: A Guide to Reclaiming Our Humanity

Humanity’s journey is a profound interplay of love, curiosity, and the power of choice. To navigate the complexities of existence, we must explore love’s transformative potential, the roots of negativity, and redefine our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world. I’ve been writing about love, the pursuit of peace, understanding, and self-discovery since 2011 and it is my honor to provide this small article today as as a summary and view into our collective potential.

Love is The All-Seeing Eye
Love is at the core of existence. It shepherds hatred and creates the duality that defines the human experience. Negativity, often seen as an antagonist, is a byproduct of love. It's an inverse reflection of our longing for connection and meaning. Through love, have stared into the abyss of fear (where hatred manifests) and emerged unbroken. Love is the ultimate unifying force, capable of transcending judgment, misunderstanding, and division.
Love is destiny, not sought but encountered. Forming a unique, selfless consciousness shared by all beings. Love is not confined to the superficial; it blossoms within the depths of our inner-self, revealing the beauty that emanates from within. The light of love as a frequency condenses and creates all Life.
Life and existence is a product of love. Life is the child of love, born from the interconnectedness of all things. Yet, existence has been corrupted by materialism, affluence, separation and hatred. The shift from seeking peace to pursuing gain combined with the thought-form of "the ends justifies the means" has clouded humanity’s purpose. Beauty, once celebrated as a living quality, is now commodified. It is never too late to reclaim this weakened connection. By focusing on the present, our only tangible moment, our forever now moment, we can shape a future rooted in authenticity and love.
The Power of Choice
Every human action stems from choice, even in the face of external influence. We choose to act, react, and be influenced. Understanding how we react to actions and stimuli empowers us to take control of our lives. By defining the actions and reactions we enjoy, and eliminating those we do not, we reclaim agency over our existence.
It is when we feel powerless over our choices or our future that the will to live is controlled and we are weakened. Powerlessness arises when we feel trapped by circumstances or the past. However, when we establish and accept our boundaries, our minds find contentment in its chosen simplicity. This acceptance does not signify limitation but rather a conscious embrace of life’s complexities.
All experiences are seeds for growth. Mistakes are not shackles but seeds for growth. To understand our errors is to harness their potential for transformation. Judgment, whether of self or others, is futile because it hinders progress and fosters division. Instead, we must seek understanding. When we observe life, even in its most contentious forms, we gain insight into our own existence.
Understanding the choices of others does not mean agreement but empowerment. It allows us to navigate relationships, arguments, and conflicts with empathy and wisdom. Civilly observing other forms of life can help us further understand life. Observation of other forms of life, whether it be it wildlife, ecosystems, or cultures, deepens this understanding and reaffirms our connection to a shared existence.
We are all apart of one entity that has been individually influenced. Curiosity is a double-edged sword, capable of leading to both enlightenment and destruction. Wonder, born from the unknown, compels us to seek beauty in the Earth’s possibilities. Yet, unchecked curiosity can invite negative influences into our lives. Balance is key. By cultivating mindful curiosity, we can explore the world without losing sight of our overall well-being.
When we lose sight of our overall well-being we invite cancer and addiction, whether to substances, behaviors, or ideals. This has become an universal challenge. Addiction influences humanity often blurring the line between positive and negative. To defy addiction, we must evaluate its effects on humanity. Utilizing mindfulness to understand addiction invites humane constructs of power that can lead to overcoming the obstacle of addiction and cancer, reclaiming equilibrium.
The pursuit of perfection is a misguided ambition. Perfection is inherent in existence so the pursuit of it an illusion and an unreasonable standard that only weakens our resolve. The idea of perfection is an image that is an act. Instead, we should celebrate the complete uniqueness of life that is, embracing all experience as essential aspects of our life here on Earth.
Time and Energy: The Foundations of the Journey
Time is neither created nor destroyed, it is a constant, transformative energy. It allows existence to evolve, in real time, enabling us to observe and participate in the beauty of life. Gratitude for time as a gift is essential. By appreciating the present, we honor the energy that sustains us and we co-create a future aligned with humanities highest values.
Our future depends on the actions of our present. By embracing love, joy, understanding, and choice, we can reclaim the essence of our humanity. Let the past serve as a lesson, not a burden. Focus on the present, for it holds the seeds of the future.
In this life, let us admire our imperfect ideas of perfection and strive for authenticity. Let us seek understanding rather than judgment. And let us honor the interconnectedness in all life, knowing that each moment is an opportunity to transform, evolve, and grow. At the end of the day, the path to peace begins with the courage to love and the wisdom to choose compassion in every moment.

Institutionalized Death: A Divide Between Wealth and Suffering

Image
In an era where technological advancements and pharmaceutical interventions shape the very fabric of existence, the question emerges: Are we working toward ending suffering, or are we merely institutionalizing death? The modern world presents a stark contrast, longevity for the rich and manufactured suffering for the poor. The most powerful among us seek eternal life, while the marginalized are left to navigate a reality engineered for their demise. This is not a dystopian warning of a far-off future. It is happening now. Our society has entered a state where people are chemically, economically, and politically reduced to a passive existence. Health, longevity, and even mental well-being have been commodified. Nowhere is this institutionalization more evident than in the mass prescription of anti-psychotics and antidepressants. The United States is the only country that gives these drugs to children on such a massive scale. What does it mean when an entire generation grow...

Perpetuating Abandonment: A Healing Journey of Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery

Image
Abandonment is a deeply layered wound, one that lingers long after its initial infliction. For me, it began with an explosion ( both real and metaphorical) at the age of nine, when the familial table of love, laughter, and belonging that was my childhood shattered into silence. That table, once adorned by parents, siblings, tias, tios, grandparents, and cousins, symbolized the heart of my identity. I am the ninth daughter, a child of celebration, a reflection of love itself. And then, in an instant, that foundation was stripped away, leaving me lost and abandoned by everything that I thought I was. What I didn’t realize then, and only began to see as I entered adulthood, was that my childhood’s shattered table would become the blueprint for my romantic relationships. While I was at my loneliest, questioning my reality, I came to fully realize the pure love of our Mother Earth. I connected to a love that mirrored the love of my own mother and family growing up. I discovered a pure, real...

Quantum Parenting: Protecting the Sacred Ecology of the Soul

Image
It’s easy to look at a child and treat them like an adult, but until a child fully develops their  prefrontal cortex  at around age 3 he or she can’t act rationally. Their brains are not developed enough to   control their emotions and actions .   U ntil that time arrives, until the brain folds itself into reason, they exist in the quantum realm .   To look upon a child and demand reason is to demand that the ocean contain itself in a cup. The child is still the ocean, still the wind, still the boundless cosmos that sent them forth. They have yet to comprehend barriers nor acknowledge limits.   The arrival of a child into this world is a cosmic event, a transference of energy from the infinite into the finite.    A child does not enter rationally, they emerge boundless to the rigid constructs of linear time. A baby is born as a whisper from the ether, wrapped in the purest frequency of divinity. They are totally tapped in, totally t...
