'The truth lies not in more answers, but in thinking less questions'

A Bee works in harmony with Nature. It nourishes everything in its path, flourishing life and beauty as it works.
A Locust has no choice but to act like a Locust. It will never make honey like a bee does. A Locust must eat everything in its path, destroy and violate everything it meets.

Humans do have a choice. We are not rigid like the locust. We can live like a parasite of the Earth, or we can live symbiotically, connected, in harmony.
Humans are free to think. And that is part of the problem. It is the thinking about what we want that has got out of control.
The dilemma of modern society is that we seek to understand the world not in terms of archaic inner consciousness, but by quantifying and qualifying what we perceive to be the external world by using scientific means and thoughts.
We seek to know the innermost forces that create the world, but we conceive of this essence as outside of ourselves, not as a living thing intrinsic to our own nature.
Carl Jung said, "One who looks outside, dreams, one who looks inside, awakes"
Happiness can only be found inside.
Never before has there been so much thinking, yet so much turmoil on the planet. Could it be that every time we think of a solution to one problem, we create 2 more problems?
What good is all this thinking if it doesn't lead to more happiness.
Thinking isolates us and separates us from a deeper understanding of life.
Thinking must be balanced with being.
We want change, we want stability at the same time. Our hearts have become disconnected from the spiral of life, as our thinking minds drive us towards stability, security and pacification of the senses. We constantly try to occupy our minds with information, always busy with more and more information.
At moments of quiet reflection, our hearts tell us there is more to life than our present reality, that we live in a world of endless craving, never satisfied. We are constantly waging war, with countries, with disease, with others.
These problems are all created by thinking.
So then, what other methods are there for living on this planet?
