This document discusses a range of philosophical and social topics, encouraging deeper reflection on issues of identity, purpose, beliefs, race, relationships, and creating a more just and peaceful world. It asks thought-provoking questions about how we view ourselves and others, whether our beliefs make us happy and healthy, and how we might feel if divisions between people did not exist. The overall message is about cultivating self-love in order to better love and understand others.
2. Even though you might hate me let’s talk –
our lives depend upon it.
3. Bear with me and play along with me.
Remember what I said – I love you even
though you may not love me and you love me
too even though you may not realize it.
Ready, let’s play
4. I’m not interested in
Your name, profession, roles you play e.g.
Parent, husband, wife, etc.
dig deeper – who are you?
Are you there? Can you go deeper
Who are you?
5. What is your purpose?
This may need some time to think but you do
not have to answer right away but think
about it a few days.
Keep asking the questions: what is my
purpose? What is my purpose – then let it go
and the answer will pop into your head or
someone out of the blue will give you a hint.
Trust. Moving on
6. About Race
About love
About class
About relationship
About death
Moving on
7. Did you born with these beliefs?
Were you taught to believe in these beliefs?
Are these really what you came up with?
Did you research or investigate to come up
with these beliefs
8. How so?
How not so?
Do these beliefs make you happier
Do these beliefs make you feel healthier?
9. About other races than your own
About your own race?
10. Why people behave in certain ways?
Is there any justification for their behaviours
11. There was no country
There was no race
There was no sex
What if we were like flowers in a garden?
What then
12. You had all the money in the world
The world was a peaceful place
Everyone got along with little disagreements
Everyone was treated as if they mattered
We respected everyone’s human rights
The world was a good place to be in
14. How do you feel?
Do you feel happy?
Do you feel uncomfortable?
Do you see “the other” as human beings –
wanting the same things you want? Having
the same feelings as you have
15. Why?
What are you willing to give up
What’s it worth to you?
16. Today I embrace loving myself fully because I know
the more I love myself the more I will love others.
The love in my heart, in my mind, in my body and
in my soul is lifting me to higher ground of being.
My heart sings with lightness. My feet are lighter
and I am seeing the beauty of God’s creation
everywhere with brand new eye. And so it is.
