Listening to the voice that whispers within.
In Divine Beauty, John O'Donohue writes about the discerning voice:
“The search for truth is difficult and uncomfortable. Because the mystery is too much for us, we opt to settle for the surface of things. Comfort becomes more important than true presence. This is precisely why we need to listen to the discerning voice. ... This voice distrusts the status quo. It sounds out the falsity in things and encourages dissent from the images things tend to assume. ... It advises distance and opens up a new perspective through which the concealed meaning of a situation might emerge. This inner voice makes any complicity uneasy.”
The discerning voice invites us to listen.
It urges us to ask questions.
It tells us there is more to history than what was in the textbooks.
It encourages us to distrust systems which survive on fear.
It draws us to remember the things we already knew.
Our discerning voice cannot ignore injustices.
It invites us to engage with our original nature.
It frees us from narrow expectations.
It pushes toward new ways of being.
It believes in the transformative power of education to foster critical thinking, empathy, and actionable change.
It motivates our grassroots movement and illuminates the dark lands of despair.
Embarking on this mission to uncover the truth about cannabis and psychedelics, represents not just our personal values but a commitment to challenging the demonisation of nature that permeates societies globally.
The Grassroots Movement (TGRM) is a community for open exploration of cannabis, psychedelics and the pursuit of high vibrations. Read our mission here.
