Some people believe the health of the planet is in our hands, …
looking around it is not hard to imagine this might be true. There is more happening here than just creation, there is untapped potential for goodness, a creative life force which knows no bounds. Billions of years of evolution has brought us to this point. It may be time for us to adjust our Vision for a new world and plan for more Awareness. Within ourselves we can imagine where the divine energy that formed the world came from. We can reach out to each other since we are all part of a whole.
We need a vision for a new world and plan for more awareness emphasizing the restoration of our connection to each other and the planet. We no longer live in isolated parts of the globe. It is folly to destroy what the planet gives. Likewise, it is folly to allow a few powerful people and governments to destroy the cities and societies we have created.
We cannot save ourselves without a global voice which saves others by changing ourselves. If we stop polluting in one country it effects the other, if we use up all the resources in the southern hemisphere it effects the northern one. Our problem is not economic or solve with money, it requires a vision for a new world and plan for more awareness. At the moment, a few powerful people are seducing us with a runaway lifestyles filled with seduction, fear and false information. They make huge profits by keeping us satiated and ignorant.
Natural Balance and Efficiency
We are no better than trapped chickens victimized in a barnyard. I had a farm for a while and purchased 17 hens and one rooster. I found the rooster to be a brute always chasing the hens to fertilize the eggs. My hens were constantly being ‘peckered’ by the rooster. Someone told me, if you do not need fertile eggs kill the rooster, you will still have the eggs just not fertile ones. So off with His head. To my surprise the alpha hen presented herself within a few days, ‘peckering’ every other hen, So Off with Her head. This scenario continued till I had only 5 hens. The situation illustrates how I feel about wealth and power. We can continue killing the alpha chickens on the farm, but there will never be peace in the barnyard.
Humans Do Not Have To have one big chicken ‘peckering’ everyone else.
The chickens behave this way because they are confined. Humanity is not confined and can learn another way. If individually we stop being so focused on more profits, more electric power, more technology, more etc we might pause long enough to learn we have enough now. Nothing wrong with abundance, there is a lot wrong with greed, waste and excessive drive to have more at the expense of the earth and society.
There is only room at the top for a few, the rest will struggle thinking the top is the best. However if we all cut back just 10% imagine what could change. We would have 10% more time not shopping, not driving, not eating, etc. The climate control people want a 2% reduction in greenhouse gasses. If the big guys could resist their constant advertising and their consumer culture of replaceable throw away designs which they thrive on, we could all breath a little better. The big guys are spending more money and time implementing laws, traveling to have big discussions about objectives which makes them more bucks instead of simply being less active in their constant quest for more.
Humans are getting fat from eating too much of the earth!
I am a suggesting a global diet for the planet. When you go on a diet, simply eat less.
The paradigm we live from today says, OH NO! We have the big guys to thank for expensive diets, more drugs, surgery, new lo-cal foods, sports wear and fancy expensive promotions to make eating less an industry of profit and waste. We have allowed them to seduce us and we believe the seduction. Just eat less, it doesn’t cost a thing and it is more honest. Apply the same idea to travel, business, advertising, sports, your car, etc. Cutting back 10% is not such a great sacrifice, you may even enjoy it.
Wealth, fame, and power are not answers for peace; laws, mandates, prisons and dictators are not the answers either. We must individually seek a vision for a new world and plan for more awareness of the planet and each other, one mind at a time.
I like this very much.
