I'd love help making sense of what's going on. I don't have a lot of geopolitical history other than reading books by Tim Marshall and I don't even really know what kind of questions to answer, so here are some of the ones I'm thinking about. I'll post some thoughts about them in different comments below so we can start a bunch of convos if anyone likes.
- How do we embody love in response to global events?
- Nondual ethics... ?
- eg there's obvious love/compassion for all leading to a "no war" and noninterventionism, but also how to make sense of involvements, boundary enforcements and safety and prevention as expressions of the infinite; there's Arjuna on the battlefield in the Gita; activism / spirituality as engagement in world affairs a la Terry Patten, or the Bauls of Bengal, or Islam for that matter?
- Catching our projections onto what's happening and taking responsibility for that in ourselves;
- how can we help each other do this, see the world as the mirror it is (projection makes perception); eg not spiritually bypassing our pain by putting it out there
- and also do it without disengagement or "spiritually bypassing" the geopolitical realities of our world?
- Recognizing and side-stepping drama triangles, including meta-drama triangles of making drama trianglers wrong or victims
- Illusions of control — mostly it's not up to us, yet also we're interdependent and much more than individuals and it's up to someone?
