My name is Erik. Some people may already know my "works of art" or perhaps more like works of insanity. You may have heard of titles such as "Ten steps to a better you" or "Spiritual answers to your physical problems" or perhaps "Take control and be happy!". If you have, that's great! But none of them came from my pen (or computer) . No, I am just a simple guy, a drop in the ocean. An average joe with a wish that one day we can all live together in peace and harmony. My only other work of art so to speak is the other blog on here titled, "the Tao Te Ching" which translated basically means "the book of the Way" the "Way" meaning God. The only true Way. I found myself strangely drawn to this book as if it was made for my eyes alone. It all just made sense to me, I understood it. In a nutshell, A man named Lao-tzu (affectionately called Uncle Lao) wrote the Tao Te Ching around 2500 to 3000 ago. Yup, before Jesus stopped by. So I guess it was one of the original texts of enlightenment. What I like about it is how simple and to the point it is. No frills, no big code of conduct. The simple message seems to be, know that you and God are one and the same being and learn to re-connect to your Source. Which is technically the easiest thing in the world to do. Contrary to many religious doctrines, the only ingredient needed is you with a silent mind. That's cheap and easy enough even in this economy. Perhaps that is the whole reason behind it's apparent suppression, nobody can capitalize from it. But this blog is not about the Tao Te Ching. It's about how one drop in the ocean can make a world of difference. Or perhaps in different terms how one snowflake can eventually become a snowball or even an avalanche. This train of thought reminds me of Margaret Meade's statement:
"Never underestimate the power of a
few committed people to change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
I think that sums it up.
So for those of you that share my vision of a world without borders, please, join in. Add your drop in the communal ocean of peace. It is quite soothing for me to envision a world without the need for rules and regulations. Without the need for money or a governing body. A life of simple contentment, where each and every person lives their own personally tailored purpose. Happy to do what they do because it fills them with joy, not because they can become rich doing it. At least not rich in the monetary sense. Some people can relate to this and others find it hard to envision such a society of Love, Peace and the resulting prosperity. Having been brainwashed by society into thinking that man is not capable of such feats of Love for themselves or one another or the planet. But I disagree. I think we are absolutely capable of living in such a way, and I think that there is a growing number of people globally that are tired of all the greed, hatred and suffering.
So lets make a place where all are welcome to come. Where all are accepted how they are and every opinion or idea is as good as any other. Where we can all add our enlightened ideas to help one another reach the Truth. Peace Love and Prosperity is our envisioned goal and our driving force.
May every entry be one that encourages us all on this beautiful journey,
Namaste
