from the mind of critic-5/23/17

From the mind of critic: “If clear, hold and build is employed regularly as a military strategy, would it work as a civilian strategy as well? If a soldier is taught to clear enemies out of an area, hold the area by defending it against those enemies trying to wrestle control back, and then build up the area into a vibrant and productive community, could civilians be taught to clear out negativity, sabotage and self-imposed roadblocks out of their mind, hold it by defending against negativity and sabotage trying to steal away new found self confidence and self love, and then build their mind and psyche up by working their passion, filling their cup with beauty and kindness, and living and enjoying each day to it’s fullest by being open and honest about what’s in front of them, so they can enjoy the full breadth of the human experience? Or is military and civilian life completely seperate, because civilian life is about humanizing to become better people, and military life is about dehumanizing to kill people in war as an absolute last resort? Humans become soldiers and vice versa, just like politicians. Just like how we clean up political life by cleaning up our personal life, it’s the same with military life. But like life, we have to let go of the bad and keep the good. Becoming conscious, defending that consciousness, and then building on it will help us acheive all our dreams. Where we run into problems is when we try to hold and defend our new found consciousness, and build on it to be more open and fulfilled, before we clear out all our crap. Once we realize that letting go isn’t a one time thing but a constant process, we’ll see we can’t wait till all our negativity is gone before we raise our consciousness, or we’ll waiting for Godot till the cows come home. Clear, hold and build can work in civilian life, we just can’t wait to clear everything until we start holding and building or we’ll never evolve” 🙂
