I recently came across this social media post calling out the organisation – One Child One Planet…
What are your first thoughts? What does it trigger in you? How does it make you feel?
Our first thoughts are our judgements, our projections, based on a set of beliefs that come from our deep conditioning psychology.
So now let me ask you, where does this judgement come from? Is it your truth or something that has been instilled into you by others?
The One Child, One Planet organisation behind this who obviously have an agenda just like every other organisation out there, are they right or wrong? Are they allowed to express their views or do we demand to shut them-up and censor them?
Let’s take it another step deeper. We all have an opinion. We are all entitled to have an opinion. However, where is the thin line between sovereignty and conformity?
Where does each of us sit on this spectrum?
Do we own our sovereignty and know we always have the right to choose, no matter what the agenda dictates? Or do we conform to meet the agenda, therefore losing our sense of sovereignty?
Now, let’s take it into our personal relationships.
Do we accept the sovereignty of others that they have the right to voice their own opinions even if we may not agree with them? Or, do we expect others to conform to our set of beliefs and ask them to bend to our will?
How much energy do we waste on this psychodramatic bubble or ‘I’m right, you’re wrong’?
Remember this is an exercise in exploring our conditioning psychology, there is no right or wrong, just our own understanding, our own truth and seeing where it came from and to where it leads to get beneath our surface-level triggers and what we're holding onto that no longer serves.
With Love,
