If you’re happy and content, you’re a poor, uneducated, unthinking plebeian who regrettably knows no better
Source – Descartes:
Je pense donc je suis;
I think, therefore I am
If you criticize, accuse and complain, you are a worthy, well-respected member of society
Source – Sartre:
Le malheur, c’est l’autre;
Misery is (due to) the other
It’s all about alignment
When you are in alignment with who-you-really-are, you cannot help but uplift those with whom you come into contact. Your value to those around you hinges upon only one thing: your personal alignment with Source. And the only thing you have to give to another is an example of that alignment—which they may observe, then desire, and then work to achieve—but you cannot give it to them. Everyone is responsible for the thoughts they think and the things that they choose as their objects of attention.

Just love. Don’t worry.
You cannot worry about someone and love them at the same time. Most people mistake the emotion of worry for the emotion of love. They think that worrying about somebody means that you love them.

Stress & Burnout Newly Understood Thanks to St John Passion (J.S. Bach)
Yes, stress, it follows us, yes, burnout
threatens us. For far too long we’ve moved too far from the sure, the certain, the however, wherever, whenever essential alignment with who we are: the river, the rock, the wind, the galaxy, the heart of a rose.
We forget ourselves, our innocent knowing, our natural spirit power, we stray, stay away from where we belong, whom we belong to, who we long to be, till someone asks:
Weren’t you one of those who knew?
Afraid, you say, Not me.
They persist, But we saw you, in knowing company, in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Terrified, you again deny your better knowing. You overrule the truth one more time.
A cock crows. You remember the knowing warning and realize your betrayal.
Like Peter, you go outside and weee—eee—eeep bitterly.
You can listen to this moment:

About silence
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
