People, why don't we just call a spade a spade and stop trying to be all enlightened with these concepts that are so not enlightened. Enlightenment is so many things, one thing it is NOT is living in mediocrity and calling it cool and sophisticated. Living with less is just less. It reeks of the past. Where did we get these concepts that less is more? Where did that come from? We have the capacity to have like never before, why are we negatively judging that?
It is beautiful that this is all possible. Maybe the idea came from looking at people who have SOOO much and aren't happy? (another negative judgment) Looking at the universe like resources are limited? (another one) We seem to be spending our resources at the rate of gasoline in a 1960's muscle car. The FEAR of them running out is the problem.
Hey, I'm all for conservation and doing things cleaner, but not out of a fear choice. Out of a choice to do the right thing for the right reasons. Cleaner feels better, it smells better, it looks better, at least to me. Those are reasons to change, my individual reasons. These reasons create more character, fear choices do not. Fear choices create mediocrity, bottom line. We are in a world where mediocrity is not an option, really. We as humans are not mediocre or damaged, we are amazing deeply loving beings.
Things have gone too long down a path of unawareness, that's it. The metaphor for practically everything I see is, Structure. Old structures are breaking. money system, water system, electrical system, country borders, the way financial institutions have operated for so long, medicare, social security. More and deeper decisions must be made now, change is at hand, it must be embraced and responded to. Responsibility is power, it is time to lift and be powerful. We are creating our own problems to guide us so that when we find the solutions to these, we will have found our way. They are there/here for our benefit. We are creating pressure because we are not changing elegantly, with character. We are merely using another old way of change, which is Pain and Struggle. Not doing anything until the pressure of change gets almost too great. Physical reality was never meant to be this painful. The challenge and the beauty of these actual problems are, we will be where we need to be as we solve them.
The solution is to have more and still be aware. To not abuse perhaps, even abusing things is OK now and again, as long as we recognize the abuse and change. We do that with the ones we love so often, don't we? Whether it is taking them for granted, or just being our lesser selves around them.
ALL change begins with recognition. Simple times or going back to simpler times is NOT an option. Simplicity breeds difficulty. It is searching in our past, idealizing it and throwing it out in front of us, hoping to make it better than it was. That actual past has lead us right here "X", we cannot vindicate ourselves with it, or even get there from THIS actual point. We must incorporate where we are, embrace all we have, choice deeper where we want to go, and recognize the separation we keep creating. So much of the Oneness, "One world" idea stems from this, creating separation is part of an old paradigm. We are realizing we need to take a much grander viewpoint of our impact. Negative Judgment separates, and causes pain. We cannot Negatively Judge ourselves, that has not worked, ever. Motivating ourselves out of how lowly we are, attempting to manipulate god into taking pity on us. We seem to not take the responsibility nearly enough and to stop doing it, STOP Negatively Judging. Even the fact I am writing to you, and telling you this is a negative judgment, it gets rather complex. Ideally I must change internally and not tell anyone they are wrong, bad or anything that creates separation. Otherwise I contribute to/in the old pattern. One at a time we must remove oursleves and the standing wave will collapse, it is the law of resonance. We are moving into a greater level of complexity, simplicity will create huge problems here. I don't think anyone can even buy a Television without a remote control. this is a complex device that makes our lives simpler, but it is in no way simple. This is where we need to move.... More to come
