[kj] What would John Lennon say?

[Lennonka]

Hi Mark!

I bet it might even be evolutionary.
Of course, I can't speak for him, but I can speak some of my ideas (with
references to his work, it's too deep to avoid).

Funilly, a day or two before your post, I was musing about their PEACE
"marketing campaign". I was wondering whether it's ever working. I came to
the conclusion that perhaps the word "peace" is a concept too abstract to
comprehend. What does peace look like? If we think of it as the absence of
war, then (in terms of lightworking), we may be failing to manifest it,
because of the negative phrasing. Also our dreams are difficult to fulfil
when they don't have more concrete shapes (specific "requirements" work
better).

When I was reading your consideration of broadcasting a powerful thought,
the song Mind Games immediately came to my mind. Do you know it?
Unfortunately, it's still valid, with all the think tanks and the
information WW3 that has been going on for many decades. It is now more
apparent with "fake news" and all the confusion of contradictory
information one can find on the internet... and even in scientific
studies... who pays for the study, gets the desired conclusion. Because our
current science is (still) limited by plain logical (or linear) thinking,
and because of paradoxes, one can prove statements, which can be
contradictory. "A problem that was created on a certain level of
consciousness, can't be solved by a mind on the same level of
consciousness." We really need a more complex way of thinking to find new
solutions. (Try to think of it as upgrading our "computations" from Real
numbers to Complex numbers in mathematics.)

Another thing that came to mind was the quote: “A dream you dream alone is
only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” John is sometimes
mentioned as the author, but I believe it's Yoko's thought (whom I adore
very much, by the way). I think it says a lot about the nature of reality
and it is more relevant now than ever as we live in the time of realistic
relativism.

I don't believe that new technologies would bring the desired change as
many centuries of technological development have proved (not having any
positive result, on the contrary). The change must come on the individual
level, from the change of heart and mind and from the integration of heart
and mind (this integration allows the complex thinking I was talking about
before). That's why arts are so important, because that's the only thing
that can induce change on the personal level.

But don't mind me, I'm just a crazy and at the moment drunk girl... well,
lady. Or whatever.
Have a great week. <3

Yours,
Lena
