So many things can fill the hole

So many things can fill the hole.  Some for only a moment, some for longer.  Even when it is filled, we know on some level, it is only a temporary filling.

How does it get filled?  Do we fill it ourselves, intentionally?

We have the power to fill it, but not always to un-fill it.  If we give ourselves the complete power, to fill, realise it is temporary and complete acceptance, then there are no surprises.

If my relationship with another fills the hole, I fill it.  Not them.  I fill it with the love that I feel for them.  The things that I do, through that love, fill the hole.  They may leave.  But since I filled it, not them, the ability to fill the hole is not lost.  I can still fill it.  It was filled through love.  The love I have for myself can fill the hole in the same way.

Hole filled, am I complete?

I feel aware of the limitations; the temporary filling can be lost in an instant.

So the hole is not filled.  I just told myself it was.  I tricked my mind.  Or my mind tricked me.

What if I have the ability to accept and observe my mind?  I accept what it creates a temporary filling.  Accept the feelings it brings.  Accept the knowing it is temporary.  Accept the instant when the filling is lost.  If I observe this cycle, and remain unabsorbed, I give myself the power to simply observe the hurt or pain of the lost filling.  It is not really felt, since there was no trickery.  I knew it was to come back at some instant.

So with the power to control the filling of the hole, the ability to accept and observe cycle after cycle, there is always a hole.

The fillings are all temporary.

Unless the filling itself is Infinite.

New Coalition Government of the UK

Personally, I did not particularly like the Conservatives, and especially the Conservative leader David Cameron. He seemed over zealous, over competitive and someone who says one thing but believes something else.

But, as soon as I heard he has now become our Prime Minister, I set aside all my judgements, just perhaps as David Cameron had to set aside some judgements about Nick Clegg. I feel strongly that we must respect our Government leaders if we expect them to give us respect back. We should think more like a soldier. As soon as someone is given legitimate power, we should accept it, side aside our own judgements and serve them.

Also, I think its very interesting what has happened in the UK. The new coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is an exciting beginning to a new paradigm in politics. In a way, both leaders have had to give up their egos, to come together and serve the country's best interests. Humility and trust has had to become the basis of the new government. Such values within the government I hope will grow over the next 5 years and filter down to all aspects of the government and the country. A transformation in the government will therefore cause a transformation in our country.

And since each country has a huge impact on the rest of the world, as we have seen with the cascading credit crisis, so will the UK's transformation positively impact other countries and challenge the integrity of their governments. Who knows, perhaps the next stage is a coalition much like the European Union, between governments of all different continents, a world government. Well, at least we're one step closer to such a possibility - perhaps in the next 30 years.

Why is coming together better than staying apart? Because the synergy created by coming together could achieve so much more than what the individual countries could achieve on their own. The rule of synergy is 1 + 1 = 3. With a single government it's possible to coordinate resources with complete efficiency to eliminate poverty, its possible to control the world economy to minimise recessions, its possible to have equal standards of living across the planet. So much more is possible by coming together than staying apart.

Well, I guess it's one step at a time. Small moves. Small moves.

Quote of the Day: Commit Yourself

"The moment you commit yourself, then providence (Universe) moves too. All manner of things happen to help you that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events are started by the decision, creating all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance in your favour, which no-one could have dreamed would have come your way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1842 (translated from German)
