Diane Arbus: The Photographer Who Saw the Unseen

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.” — Diane Arbus Diane Arbus (1923–1971) is one of the most significant and controversial photographers of the 20th century. Renowned for her stark, unflinching portraits of people on the fringes of society, Arbus redefined the role of photography as an art form. Her work pushed boundaries, challenged norms, and…

The power of being a HUMAN

Hello my friends 🙏☺️❤️

Sometimes the world seems deeply unfair. People often focus on punishment, guilt, and justice, not realizing they cause even more misery. In psychology, there's a famous triangle: attacker-victim-and the savior. People who save might become the victim of the victim and the attacker of the attacker.

We all are mobile, shifting between these roles throughout our lives.Between black and white, we have all the colors of the rainbow. We're all complicated beings, having both light and shadows of our own. We move along various scales in life - between being a victim, savior, or aggressor; between shadow and light; between justice and compassion; between self-acceptance and self-hate.The solution is being compassionate, firstly inwards to yourself. You might feel anger, jealousy, fear and disgust - congratulations, YOU ARE A HUMAN.

It's so hard to accept the pain that our reality and world is full of... And the temptation to divide into right and wrong, those who should suffer and those who shouldn't... But the truth is that no one should be punished or suffer.As the beautiful African proverb says: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". 🔥

No child, no animal, no group, no patient, no member, no friend should be left alone... The healing of the individual is the healing of society. The healing of a nation is the healing of the world.

It's true, this path isn't easy. It's unknown. But from 300,000 years of human existence, if we choose to believe the theory of science - for more than 99% of humankind's life span we lived in harmony with life and nature. Only in the last 1% of time have we developed so much that we forgot our roots... But the roots of harmony and compassion are always there, therefore we can remember them whenever we're ready to look beyond the known.

Let's explore new paths of life, as individuals full of mutual solidarity - and as groups and humankind. We all are one, this life is short, let's make it the best lives possible for as many people as possible.

Thank you for reading ❤️❤️

EYES OF THE FORGOTTEN Frozen skies above, hope flickers in weary eyes, silent prayers drift on. Merch at https://pixels.com/featured/eyes-of-the-forgotten-rolleen-carcioppolo.html and https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/172010953 This powerful portrait captures the soul of a man burdened by time and hardship, yet his eyes hold an undeniable spark of resilience. His face, lined with stories untold, gazes upward, searching for warmth, understanding, or perhaps a lost memory. The artist masterfully blends rough textures with delicate details, making each brushstroke a testament to the raw human experience. Set against a celestial blue background with specks of light, the piece subtly alludes to hope, transcendence, and the human spirit's endurance.

What is the World Transformation Movement?

At the heart of the World Transformation Movement (WTM) is an incredibly exciting, science-based revolution in human understanding.

Founded by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, the WTM is a global not-for-profit organisation dedicated to sharing the biological explanation of the human condition—that is, the answer to the fundamental question of why humans are capable of both love and compassion and immense cruelty and destruction.

For millennia, humanity has lived in denial of this confronting issue. But now, through Griffith’s breakthrough—explained in detail in his acclaimed book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition—we finally have the real and redeeming understanding of ourselves. This explanation transforms the way we see human nature: not as inherently flawed, but as psychologically ‘upset’, and, crucially, understandably so.

The World Transformation Movement exists to make this world-saving understanding freely available to everyone. It offers books, videos, essays, and a supportive international community through global WTM Centres to help people move from confusion and conflict to clarity, peace, and fulfillment.

“Living without this understanding is like living back in the stone age, that’s how massive the change it brings is!” – Professor Karen Riley, clinical pharmacist

With this knowledge, the seemingly impossible dream of a harmonious, cooperative, and compassionate world becomes not just possible, but inevitable.

I'll Always Love You

Love may stand a thousand trials. Your angels will fall and my pride will stand. All the while I'm missing you.

Our love wilts while we unchain from one another, Apart, I still find myself bound to you by memory. Let sinners cry. Can love stand strong when I'm missing you?

I love you still. Your absence hurts. I'll always... Love you, Through every ache.

Are we a modern crime? Let me avoid arrest. You are gone. Read more at: www.kdwilliamson.ca

If people of a different subject position than you are expressing concerns regarding a source of difficulty and/or trauma in their lived experiences, and it doesn’t apply to your experience, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That means you are blessed with a certain type of privilege that allows you not to have to think about or deal with that particular challenge in your daily life. Instead of denying or diminishing the lived reality of others, simply because it doesn’t reflect your own, instead try active listening, keeping an open heart, and practicing empathy. Understand your life isn’t the sole reflection of the human experience. It might not be a part of your life, and that’s fine, how lucky you are, but it is very much a part of someone else’s.

The Diagnosis Was Life. The Cure Was Never Found.

There are aches we carry that never ask for a cure. Not every pain wants to be fixed; sometimes it only needs to be seen. How do you honor what you carry when it cannot be named out loud?

'THE Interview' with Jeremy Griffith — A Must-Watch Conversation

If you're seeking a thought-provoking exploration into the depths of human nature, Jeremy Griffith's THE Interview is a must watch. In this conversation with British actor and broadcaster Craig Conway, Griffith, an Australian biologist, delves into the complexities of the human condition, offering a biological explanation for our species' extraordinary capacity for what has been called ‘good’ and ‘evil’.

Griffith's insights, which are comprehensively presented in his major publication FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition, have been lauded by professionals in the field. Professor Harry Prosen, former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, described it as:

“the most important interview of all time”

The Interview addresses the internal conflict between our instinctive drives and our more recently developed conscious intellect, proposing that understanding this dynamic is key to resolving the psychological turmoil that has plagued humanity. By confronting this fundamental issue head-on, Griffith aims to provide a roadmap for personal and societal transformation. It is the ultimate 'holy grail' for the human race. As Griffith puts it:

“Finding understanding of our psychologically troubled human condition has actually been what the efforts of every human who has ever lived has been dedicated to achieving and has contributed to finding... Understanding of the human condition has been ‘the holy grail’ of the whole human journey of conscious thought and enquiry.”

For those interested in exploring this paradigm-shifting work further, THE Interview is freely available to watch online, with no registration required. It's a concise introduction to Jeremy Griffith's work and offers a perspective that challenges conventional views on human behaviour, and presents an incredibly hopeful and optimistic path forward for the human race.

Tạp nham và Hỗn loạn.

Tại sao chúng ta cứ luôn mặc định rằng phải “ra ngoài xa hội thì mới va vấp”. Va bản thân mình thử xem nào.

Rất khó. Có những người sắp chết, họ vẫn chưa va nổi bản thân mình.

Chê trách xã hội, thù ghét xã hội, nói rằng xã hội làm mầm mống gây nên khổ đau cho mình, mà quên mất mình chính là một phần của xã hội. Mình cũng thối nát, mục rữa thế nào, thì thấy xã hội thế ấy.

Tôi thu gọn phạm vi. Một nhóm bạn bè cũng có thể gọi là xã hội, nếu tôi muốn.

Tôi mở rộng phạm vi ra một chút. Một nền tảng mạng xã hội nơi có rất nhiều mối quan hệ kết nối với ta, cũng gọi là xã hội. Nếu tôi muốn.

Nơi ấy có 1 ngàn người thì sẽ có 1 ngàn vấn đề. Mỗi người chúng ta đều là người có vấn đề. Vấn đề về thần kinh, vấn đề về trí tuệ.

Khi các vấn đề có dịp va chạm nhau, dù chủ đích hay không, thì chúng nó vẫn gây thương tổn tới nhau. Đôi khi có va thì chẳng sau, nhưng đôi khi không va mà vẫn tổn thương.

Chúng ta đều ưu tú, đặc biệt, và độc nhất.

Gom lại, chỉ thấy Tạp nham và Hỗn loạn.

Chessboard of the Ages

For the longest time I have lived on this chess board,

Crossing between the squares, watching.

Even in the face of black and white morals,

Each our actions are fair,

Whether it be for survival or defence

against the despairs

The competition rages for every turn,

The two players draw swords to each others necks.

Survival of the fittest, they say.

Our kings sit on their thrones, crowns askew,

Their pride loud, yet empty through and through.

The queens fight for only one purpose they hold,

Even though they walk many paths

Their fates and dreams are cutthroat..

with the burdens of duty,

Their cries are held within.

The pawns are sent off to fight,

Each pawn a dealing of loss and win

Yet we send the pawns to fight,

Each soul a sacrifice.

Which one wins? We anticipate

We watch as there they lay,

Broken soldiers with their lives

spent on this chessboard

Where everything is fair,

Where liars and cheats win,

Where the purity is dimmed by the truth

Of the evil we display,

In our game of chess, we play.

Until we all answer one day.
