One on One

This term used to be part of the schoolyard jargon in a pickup basketball game: “you want to play one on one?” It meant just one person against the other in a friendly game.

I suggest this term…”one on one” as a means to safely and sanely survive and thrive in the times we are living in. In case you have been living under a rock, the general consensus, or “collective consciousness” (to those insisting on a new age reference) has become mired in discord, meanness, constant blame, and a total lack of charm.

There is only one solution: ignore it, and create one on one relationships and interactions throughout your day that reflect your integrity, your sincere purpose, and your underlying love for humanity. And by the way, lest you think that showing underlying love requires you to be a victim in any fashion,,,the answer is NO,NO, and NO!!! In fact, part of your one on one behavior, which includes absolute respect for yourself and others, is the rock solid insistence that you are never required to endure emotional or physical abuse from another person, under any circumstances.

So it’s a kind of calm awareness based in love to create an energy of love around you- with no illusions or delusions required. It’s an interesting way to live in our time, and one that requires constant effort to maintain, but isn’t it worth it?

Following this course means you never have to become a hater of anybody or anything; which may distinguish you from many of your fellow citizens.
