(Un)balanced actions

Some of the links on this page won’t work until the entry they refer to appears.
I’m folding time here. After the 25th all links will likely work.
If our thoughts and actions revolve around material possessions and security, and we overdo indulgence in sensual pleasures such as particular foods, alcohol, movies, and sex, we clearly want our desires to manifest without consideration of consequences. For our inability to let go of such single minded interests tends to manifest itself in the form of constipation and gaining weight. Perhaps even overweight.
If our actions revolve around satisfying our personal needs in a single minded way, we unconsciously overlook or ignore needs of self, life and others.
So by attending our personal needs we ignore our personal needs? Duh?
This seeming paradox can quickly be understood when we get unentangled about what our true needs are, like good health, enough relaxation, and a balanced and harmonious life.
When overlooking self, life and others they are likely to challenge us. We try to avoid being challenged by “them”. And if and when we actually are challenged, we become irritated, upset, aggressive, and can even develop a tendency to enforce our will upon others. In reality, this aggression can hide defense mechanisms hiding lack of trust … hiding fears of loosing the false sense of security and well-being we so carefully built up.
Of course, when becoming aware of being part of a system behaving unbalanced (incongruent) in a particular context, and feeling no longer certain we can effectively balance self, life and others in that particular context — if only because of our non-intervention rules, we can choose to not gain any possessions from that system. Not eat anything that could remotely be associated with it. And possibly end up underweight or with no weight at all, if we don’t find other food, and perhaps some good wine (or beer) now and then.
We can choose to burn the entire Tree and renew our selves for finding/cocreating a better fitting context. It is not so hard to turn this unbalancing spiral around for our selves. This spiral creates many unnecessary worries, and we can readily flip these for resolving/dissolving our physical and emotional blocks created in the less fitting context. For example by developing a deep, personal relationship with Nature that roots us in life on Earth.
Even when cutting down a tree, or burning it, its roots remain unharmed and can provide renewal. Our lives can once again become filled with happiness, joy and inner strength, providing stability for self, life and others. Our actions will be guided by the desire to be creatively active in shaping life on planet Earth, and planet Earth as a shelter and secure place. We become grateful for all life on Earth, and wouldn’t dream of running the risk of destroying the entire sandbox by letting our unbalanced actions roam free.

[…] When we stifle our selves by judging our “whining”, we stifle our higher selves listening to our deeper selves, and we will never discover the needs of self, life, and others we have been and are overlooking. If we do allow our selves some “whining”, and (with some help or not) truly listen to our selves when we do that we can learn to channel lower energies by which we become more effective at channelling our higher energies.

[…] And if “It” wants to use one of us to intervene on Earth, like when we see people sitting shocked in a smoking car just after an accident took place, we become action-able for wyrd ways. […]
[…] Did I take enough time for reflection? - Initially not enough maybe. My intent was to enter the customer and client context without luggage or expectations, so as to assess current state of the organisation better. These people appear too busy buzzed bodies to me for effective steering. After the second assessment, my colleague and myself slowed them down, for replacing time with focus to include perceiving needs of self, life and other more before acting, and we gave explicit feedback as to that to the head honcho.

[…] Resources: people, bottle of wine, overlooked needs of self, life and others. The latter resource seems readily available everywhenwhere. […]
[…] Crystall ball gazing would be about receiving standing waves (light) from the future to most effectively move forward with for anticipating change and balanced actions. […]
[…] Atrofied emotional skills leading to stifling of self, life and others, resulting in lack of effective communication and unmet expectations from upper management, as upper management sets unattainable objectives, then avoids being challenged with the needs of self, life, and others that were overlooked. […]
[…] Yet religions and spiritualities fight over which rituals are best, measure other religions against their own more detailed ritualized values, and given half a chance, blame others for karma coming back at them as a result of their own (re)actions. […]
[…] Spinal column, bones, teeth, tusks, nails, anus, rectum, colon, prostate gland, blood, skills, abilities and space — together being capability for building cells (integrity skeleton) […]
[…] And even if a calendar is not available, journaling about what I want to do and manifest for a single day, a season, a project, a year, or this lifetime, helps me to actually manifest things in the now. Purposeful blog entries serve me as “development stories” by extracting archive cards of “things to do” from an entry or by giving me clues for an open ended plan for getting me to a desired state. Like agile development of my own life’s path! […]
[…] This latter one is the painful one. Where people around us are killing their emotional intelligence and connections for a collective denial. A collective weaving of fears that create illusions on Earth that people have bought into in order to feel better about themselves, and find justification in for mankind’s (un)balanced actions at the expense of others.
