An Apology
I promise that will be my last rant, (yesterday’s blog post). I don’t like naming names or singling any particular people out as worse than anyone else. But, there I did it and I must apologize. The truth is they are as much a victim of a horrible philosophy that tends to rule the planet, as we all are. The truth is, they may be very kind people to know outside their “official” roles. The truth is, that is where I would like them to come from, their best Selves. The Selves that are capable of compassion and kindness and not a ruthless view of everyone in the world. So please forgive the outburst of a frustrated citizen of the planet and one who lives in this country, which, for now, is the ruling empire.
Like every empire it is doomed to ultimate failure because of the things I’m talking about. They do not come from their higher consciences, their best intentions, their feelings of love and compassion. They follow an old time philosophy that has succeeded in destroying so much of our planet and so many lives. Your philosophy cannot be one of exploitation and violence as a way to get what you want. It’s been done for thousands of years and as left us hung out to dry. I would like for us to get unhung and begin to travel a path towards compassion and help for each other. To find the ability to befriend each other and stop all the “diplomatic” stuff, which is a euphemism for lying.
Let the truth about everything happen and we will begin to actually enjoy our lives. The international finance economy is not working and we need to change the direction we’re going. Of course, what I’m saying is not news. Many people are saying the same and have been for thousands of years. Isn’t it time we took them up on it, those preachers and teachers of love, friendship and compassion for one another. Isn’t it time to awaken and feel the summer sun, the winter cold, the rains and the glories of truly knowing each other no matter the color of our skin or the language we speak. We find when we do this that we are really all the same, same longings, same needs, same understanding. Yes, we are all unique individuals, nonetheless we share a common humanity, a collective unconscious. Now we need to share a common trust and understanding of each other. We need to respect each others’ differences and stop trying to get everyone lining up to be consumers and nothing more.
Let us begin turning things around inside ourselves and that will have a ripple effect that will change everything around us and we will begin to know a new dawning of consciousness. So, again, I apologize for the political disgust I expressed and hope to be back on track .
Enlightenment and the journey towards it is hard work!!!
