Dear friends,
It is easy to see the driving forces of our time: Vision and Fear. Fear is the energy of those who carry weapons, who loot and riot. Fear drives those who do not think things through but react to whom or what seems to offer something that will assuage the fear for a moment. Their hue and cry is “My lousy life is all your fault. You are the enemy!” They may have legitimate concerns, but their voices cannot be heard above the sounds of hate and gunfire.
Vision is the driving force within those who have hope for humanity. They believe that people can change. They see through the appearance to possibility. They know what needs to be done to begin the transformation of our shared world.
The clash between the two is the inability to communicate with one another. Fear cannot believe Vision really cares about them. Vision can be too big picture and miss the pleas for help that are cloaked in anger.
What can we do? The answer to every problem is a spiritual one. We will have to become Spiritual Warriors. We do not carry guns, but we do bring stability into our own mind, first. That is, fight off thoughts that denounce others for any reason. When we vision for a better more equitable world, we include everyone. Spread the vision like it was water to a raging fire. In your mind, think of humanity as one Being, expressing in many bodies, but essentially the same. There are no enemies. We all want love and peace, happiness and prosperity, health and creativity. Vote for those who have the experience and intention to bring about a more perfect union. Vote for intelligence, compassion, education and diversity. Vote for those who can further the vision into visibility. Support them in any way you can."Now is the time, we are the people. We are the ones we have been waiting for. "
Stay tuned in,
