So what is COVID-19 trying to tell us?
Pay attention
No other virus, war, natural disaster or similar adversity has succeeded in attracting COLLECTIVE attention in such a powerful way in a long time. The question of exactly what to pay attention to is complex (as there are so many things that we have swept under the rug).
But isn't it wonderful that we are forced to slow down, stay at home and (hopefully) think without being distracted by what is important, what is precious and what is worth spending our life?
Of course, if we waste this precious time watching cute puppies and posting stupid videos on Facebook instead of paying attention to what really matters, we are missing the point here.
We are all connected (also known as "A Unit Lesson")
If we ever need proof that we are all connected and that everything we touch (literally and metaphorically) is connected to everything else, we have it now.
Finally (and I hope) a great awareness begins to arise: we can no longer continue to "pee" at one end of the pool (that is to say the planet) and swim at the other end thinking that our shit is not going to catch us. We all swim in the same pool and everything we do in that pool comes back to us.
Therefore, the removal of "dirty" production from Europe in China (and this is only one of the millions of examples of separation) cannot and does not serve Europe (or any other continent elsewhere) because shit inevitably comes back, as the spread of the virus clearly illustrates.
By the way, is it not remarkable that a situation that requires social isolation (i.e., apparent separation) really increases the feeling that we are all connected, that we are all in this ( and everything else) together!
It's time to renew
The old structures must be demolished so that we can start from scratch (with a new consciousness, but with few means). At first glance, it is no coincidence that the virus targeted the lives of predominantly elderly people with one, two or more pre-existing conditions - that is, people who should have died there. a while if they weren't there. t by artificial means to prolong life.
But vital artificial resources are now exhausted (without breathing apparatus, medical personnel or other supplies). This should lead us to rethink the vital technologies that so many people trust and that have therefore given up their personal health responsibilities.
What about focusing on disease prevention plans (at the end of the pandemic): healthy eating, exercise, meditation, etc.?
How many people would suffer from heart disease and diabetes (the two main conditions that go hand in hand with coronavirus deaths) if there was no junk food or modern stress?
Feel comfortable with death enjoying every moment
Death in itself is not a tragedy. On the contrary, a wasted life is a tragedy. A person who has lived with integrity, has made a significant contribution to himself and to society, and has maintained quality relationships throughout his life, has no regrets.
This type of person is ready to die at any time and with happiness. Become that person yourself. Reassess your priorities and start spending time on what matters. Let go of the grudge.
Start to feel that you are connected to all other human beings. Forgive, feel more love and less resentment. Stop living a tragic life and your death will not be tragic either. Both can be a celebration.
These are some of the messages that I think we need to hear right now. There are of course many other things to consider and many more will be revealed to us during this experience. This is why we must remain flexible, watch carefully (pay attention), ask intelligent questions and continue to seek their answers in the deepest. In this way, we really take advantage of the situation by cleaning our own luggage.
Any other behavior (eg, impatience, frustration, anger, and impatience to see how it spreads to get things back to “normal”) is immature. We need a change of consciousness (to move the virus) and if we resist it, the virus will persist.
