Blaming The Distraction

There is suffering in the world, and we blame the effects but not the actual causes. Nothing just happens; problems are orchestrated by the ‘right elements’ in order to create suffering and produce a desired effect. Why? To control the narrative. We cannot blame nature, so we blame human intervention, but blaming the effect obscures the intention in the cause.

We should never accept whatever we are told as that’s always someone else’s version. The Buddha said, “Don’t take my words for the truth; test them for yourself”. These words were spoken for a very good reason, as adhering to words alone is either misinterpretation or can be used to orchestrate an agenda, whether religious, political or other. If this is true for the Buddha’s words, it’s true for lamas and gurus and philosophers and the presenters of the news – and anyone we meet. They are all echoes. 

Orchestra: Latin from Greek orkheisthai, ‘to dance’.
To dance to someone else’s tune.

Don’t even trust your own mind – it’s reverberating with echoes. Trust pure awareness that is without comment, bringing intuition and insight where no words exist.

The blame game is endemic in life. It’s always someone else’s fault. We are not going to put the world right, as so many take sides and become extremists.

Silent observation is the way: our path.
