HEAVEN IS MINDSET

This statement can be taken as a fitting slogan for our contemporary time with its two maxims: Flexibility and mobility.

Reset yourself to achieve your goal. 

The human being can be extracted from local conditions and externally also from his origin, to be a high functioning entity, not obeying to somebody else than his own determined goals.

The interesting point is that the human being does not become a full variable entity, because he is obliged to become himself - a very unique individual, within a certain social context.

The awareness of being one, of humanity as one large, the globe spanning organism, may open a different perspective on economy, the energetic relation to eachother, as well as the relation to the earth. Being kept away from this consciousness, can harden the view on the world and create unnecessary narrow identities.

Consciousness blocks are mainly fears created through mass media, ideologies, static belief systems and a lack of  global knowledge, based on historical and scientific facts.

^{Scapegoats are one of the most effective tools to devide and even split the society. Layers of projections are created to move the center of interest for the majority of the people and blur from other significant happenings which might take place in the same time.}
