Where Are We Headed?

My mind has been grappling with a host of things for quite a while, and sometimes I feel like I’m going in circles thinking the same things out over and over again, trying to make some real sense of the world.  I’m now writing them down so that I can possibly create some clarity and/or order so that I can progress further, and so I can share them with others who might be of like mind.  I have no credentials which would, in the world as we know it, give any credibility to my musings but I’ve decided to at least put them down in the hopes that someone else might see what I see and be able to contribute further understanding either by building on these concepts or by pointing out flaws in my thought processes.  Perhaps having no educational credentials upon which to hang my thoughts, I can bring a radically different perspective as I have had minimal exposure to the standardized thinking which stems from this existing paradigm. 

I realize that much of what I am doing is taking individual concepts from a wide variety of sources and putting them together into a philosophy that I have not yet seen expressed as a whole anywhere else.  In doing so, I am acting out of my conviction that everything is truly interconnected – spiritually – and that my interpretation, such as it is at present, is in its infancy and a continual state of growth and change, as is any thought process.  I do not claim to be the first or only one to see any of the individual concepts I have been working through, but I do believe that I might have an unique perspective on the integration and interconnection of them.   I know that these first attempts to write down this philosophy are not a final answer, indeed, that there is no “final” answer.  They are but part of the process of a spiritual exploration of humanity as a whole.  I do believe that there are questions that are not being asked or answered which are critical to the survival of humanity.

If one steps back, mentally, from looking at the world from a standpoint of being controlled by outside forces such as money/scarcity, social isolation, fear (fear of being judged by others and found wanting; fear of violence – be it physical, mental, emotional, spiritual; fear of exposure, etc.) then the world suddenly is a totally different place with unlimited potential.
