Thank you for a wonderful blog…Thelma, I agree peace and God is a very good way, and people showing their inner feelings as anger and love and like joy.
Who is this greek philosopher? He sounds terribly angry, does he maybe think he is a god taking someones life or destroying another humanbeing???

Love Tommy, from Sweden

We should all take the risk to dare to open our heart and share our
love. To try to walk in someone elses shoes for a day.
Otherwise you close the door for love and become hard and cold and
try to convince other people that you are right.
No one can convinse another man to change.
Only by showing love and touch their heart you can make a change in
this world.
And who decide which is the abslotly truth and what to believe in?
I think we all have our own truth in our heart. All the profets in
the B ible, the K oran etc. where witnesses and saw their own truth
in their own way. We can all se the same event, but we all
expirience it in our own way.
That´s how I see things :-)
Love
Jessica

In a novel I read, the main character started to look for those hidden keys under peoples door mats, and used the keys to lock himself into many peoples houses. To his surprise he found peoples homes were very much like each other. They were functional for the climate and place where they were located.
Traveling to different parts of the world, I have seen with my own eyes, how people live in completely different homes and houses, containing so many different decorations or functional purposes.
I guess conformity makes us feel secure and gives us identity and membership to a certain social group. Sometimes non-conformists are regarded as sick and threatening, instead of understanding that it enriches us all. I believe to develop as an individual, one has to dare to be non-conformist. It’s a balancing between the group and each individual.
At last, let me express my admiration for Aart Hilal’s questions. I’m most impressed by them! Searching this nick, I found a very young Russian lady, and can hardly believe this person is able to ask so highly intelligent and mature questions? I’m thinking, she must have a very clever mother or father helping her? Who conforms to their suggestions?

States, Goverments, Religions, Organizations, Leaders, Wars, Power, Money, this is the world we are living in.
Laws and rules for the simple people to obey, sometimes under pressure and force, but the first to break them, in the name of PEACE or GOD, are those who are respobsible for observing them…
I will mention another quote by the Greek writer and philisopher Nicos Kazanztakis: ‘
“HE WANTED TO BE FREE. KILL HIM”
[¨Ηθελε, λέει νάναι ελεύθερος, σκοτώστε τον.]

I find this question far too abstract – which organizations are we talking about and which non-conformists? I don´t find either of these necessarily in conflict with each-other…We live in a world which is also physical and man made and we do need man made organizations for a lot of solutions in society…. We also need visionaries, pioners and people who have the courage to be innovative and renew life in
a lot of ways and dare to be the avantgarde of new ways of living.We need both – the question is: Is it done consciously and fro the heart.
What I find important is that we all have a possibility to contribute with our dreams and talents, be they visionary, innovative, exploring, stabilizing, mantaining, sustaining , leading, disciplined or whatever. I see the crucial point as being our motivations – why do we do whatever we do? Are we conscious about that? Do we have the courage to become deeply aware of the dreams we carry and follow them thru? Honestly, I think we have a need for all of us to live as consciously as we dare.

We should sing and dance from G to B notes, I guess. They are no way in extavaganza, and live in the middle way by themselves. Of course for those who could hear the sound.
Indeed Dear, why should we stray from the music we hear? Twill be as saying to God: leave me alone! I’ve all made by myself.

We, we bless His arrival, instead.

Sweet beating of my heart.

I hate to follow rules.Of course,only if those are not soaring from comon sense.I agree that uniformity kills spontaneity.It is also the point of start for discriminating people.Personaly,I try to think with my own brain.Than only I take a decision.And I love to know people from different cultures,they enrich my life.

this all sounds like in a dream although I´m awake. From Athena to beautiful music such as Tracy Chapman and a little bit of Rage Against the Machines.
Should we care about politics and should we be freaky religious (you could be freaky in a G way or in a B way FOR yourself). I really don´t know?
As you say the middle way is good for you…….

Love from Follow your giding star

Today I understand about it, and alos the advise to forget all about ourselves.

There is typically the two extremes today, and impossible to say where the real middle is.
Human’s eyes are totally lobotomized by images and rumours. And then we don’t know if they are talking from Martin to Ray’s clonic mouth.

To be lover is the way, without believing man could never ever discover himnself perfect into the society; the way the City is built. I’m surely not optimistic to that point. Plus Men’s senses, it is not obvious to occure often, the day they just got wings growing on their backs.

But when people began to draw two clans, each in opposite side, lies a need to “stray part”. Some people don’t measure sometimes, how they blow some risky words as fates, when they are detiny.

Roll back each one of their side helps no people, no politics, orders or group of all kind… where’s lack of straightforward communication, certainly already due to the machine.

Division lead to bad feelings of discrimination, and repression as it pastly has been caused on Earth. It is a division, simply used from ancient valleys, to rest, hide or prepare a fight, not far from the opponent. The summum of absyrdity maybe. Sometimes, only a field separates them.

Noone is too blame to stray part from a person that could be dangerous for ouselves, but no yellow starred G for good and B for bad’s needed as well.

I dare to take risks and also pay the price for my freedom!!!
It is incredible though that in this day and age we are still being judged by our Spiritual beliefs and forced to comform to the masses. I feel like Athena!!!
