Movable Cities

In the ancient native cultures, a piece of land was only lived on for a short period of time before the tribesmen would decide to move away from it so to allow the land to regenerate itself.

It seems to me, after travelling through the UK, US, Canada and Europe, that there is plenty of land which is under-utilised. Modern society should take a lesson from the ancients socities that walked this Earth, and we should for the future create movable cities.

The idea of a movable or mobile home is already in existence, so why not a movable city? Where an entire city is relocated to another area temporarily in order to allow the Earth to regenerate itself. This would create the necessary flow in order for us to restore our balance with nature, and in the future this I feel will become a possibility and a necessity. Of course, unlike mobile homes, you cannot move entire buildings, or the city infrastructure of transportation, sewage, water and gas, but you could relocate to another place that has some more basic infrastructure in place which is sufficient for a short period of time.

It also seems to me that if any city was deserted for even a short period of time, it would probably begin to look more like a forest in no time at all, as nature is alive and wishes to grow and expand just like we do. We should stop and allow nature time to expand itself and regenerate itself. I feel this idea of movable cities will become more common as we become more in touch with our true nature, and transform into a conscious modern society of using more natural products, minimising waste, recycling everything, using renewable energy sources and preserving our Earth together.

Transcend Suffering & Become Enlightened


If you can understand the above quote, you'll easily transcend your individual suffering and become enlightened.

The secret within this quote is to question what our anchor in life is? Is our anchor a friend? Is it money? Is our anchor an object? Is it a girlfriend or a boyfriend? Is it our parents? Is it God? Is it a supreme being? An anchor can be anything we hold on to which makes us feel happy, loved, significant.

Most likely our anchor is external to us, even if it is God, it may still be a concept which is external to us. This external anchor, this faith which we have put into other people and things, is the cause of suffering because everything external to us changes. People can pass away. Things can pass away. Everything external to us is always changing, and this change itself brings rise to uncertainty, and human beings suffer when things are uncertain because uncertain things can never our full expectations.

The key to conquering life therefore lies in (1) getting rid of our expectations about people and things and (2) anchoring ourselves within our own selves, our own heart, our own identity. IDENTITY. Who are you really? Really you are a being who is immortal, unchanging, permanent. You are love, you are joy, you are bliss. When you remember who you are, and always keep it in mind, then you anchor into yourself and your life becomes full of love, joy and bliss in an instant.

Anchor into your unchanging nature which is your true identity. Sat Naam.
