Whenever you hear a person or group of people being singled out for behavior that is “terrible” or “wrong,” remember that we are all part of one system.

            The enemy is never a person or people or animal or being of any kind. The enemy is our lack of awareness of a part of the mind whose job it is to pinpoint and single out “problems” for the sake of our survival.

When we are singling out our “problems” in our lives, the reason for our suffering, for our lack of progress, a wonderful part of the mind is functioning.  This part of the mind has evolved into a sharp instrument for our survival.

It is our tool and yet we forget this; we become its servant. We are like zombies carrying around a plague that is controlling us in order to spread itself to more people (perhaps this is one of the reasons zombie apocalypse movies are so popular these days—we are subconsciously aware of this zombification).

You know you are “waking up” from this zombie state when you become aware that this problem seeking tendency is everywhere.

How many times have you heard about a group of cells in the body that have “gone bad” in one way or another? An organ that is not behaving and is thus exhibiting “pathology.” Everything within our body is part of a system. Individual parts of the system don’t just act independently of the system. They “misbehave” because something is out of balance in the system itself.

Similarly, we are all part of one body. If people “misbehave” it’s because we aren’t understanding the system fully.

When we recognize the “problem indicating” part of the mind for what it is, we gain info from it without playing into its tricks. Then a whole new form of awareness shows up, an awareness of the larger system within which we are all functioning.

This system embraces us, completes us, and takes a specific type of burden off of our shoulders: the burden of feeling that we are isolated individuals and that it is all up to us, and us alone.
