A problem-free life

Posted on by philipdodson

What if there are no problems?

As you read this, now, this very moment, do you have a problem?

The answer will be no, a situation could arise and you will deal with it. Problems only occur when we label something as such and then the mind takes over. Also, when we are in our minds, the mind will project forward into the future and will imagine problems.

We can only deal with situations as and when they occur in the present moment, future problems are mind constructs and therefore cannot be dealt with as they are not real.

Problems give rise to psychological fears and they are completely different to present real physical dangers that we deal with by flight, freeze or fight.

There are no problems, just situations we choose to label as such and future mind projections of imaginary problems.

A problem-free life is a choice, one that any of us can make at any moment, it is that easy, stay focused on our life now and do not create labels for future events or current situations.

Pen-pusher

Posted on by philipdodson

Our digital world has shifted the workforce from pen-pushers to key-pushers.

We believe that we are reimagining and disrupting everything but in fact, we are simply refurbishing the same thing and believing our own hype.

It is ‘The Emperor’s new clothes’ of our time to believe this myth. We worship what we see as ‘progress’ yet it is more of the same in a different wrapper

It is the same outcome for most of the population, slavery. We’ve gone from being owned by the ‘corporation’ in a factory to being owned at desk, ok we don’t write with pens anymore, we tap it out on our Macbook, wow. Oh, and some of us are allowed to work from home, how revolutionary!

Perhaps if we stop looking in the rearview mirror for the answer of what has always been and shift our focus for the industrial paradigm to new and different one that focuses on what really matters, our collective success as an equal human race, where we will spend less time on ‘progress’ and pen-pushing and more on creating a better and more equal world not based on consumption and destroying our environment.
