Now, I’ll grant you that not everything that is new is healthy, nor is it actually good for our evolution [I can certainly point to the detrimental effect of lead pipes for our water system - some of which are still supplying many home within the US ... or GMOs... or the brutal side effects of some medications...]
Yes, our world is flawed ...but it has always been so - there was never a ‘golden age’ where everyone was healthy and happy... nor is our current state that great [just consider how common violence is, and how greedy and corrupt are many who are in power...]
Yes, Life on planet Earth leaves much to be desired... but... we are evolving ... and while at times it looks like we are taking a step forward and two back...well, there are also times when we actually take two steps forward, and accomplish something worthwhile [think Doctors-without-Borders, the Heifer Foundation, Micro-lending, Operation Smile... none of that could’ve been accomplished without a few dedicated people who simply focused on goodness, and did the right thing...
So, what does that have to do with you and me...?! ... Everything, actually...
We are facing tumultuous times - a critical stage in our evolution - both as a nation and as individuals - where corruption, personal greed, and abuse of power is rife... and you have to make a choice: are you going to join the circus, and be just another clown, sprouting forth the same propaganda that belittles anyone who doesn’t think or look like you... or are you going to be in the cutting edge of evolution, looking forward to a greater and better future... AND doing your part in this !
Remember those famous words: “ All it takes for Evil to succeed is for good men and women to do nothing”.
But many would say that each of us, as simple individuals, can do little - if anything - to create positive change...and to you I’ll point out that change occurs first on an individual basis... and that each of us must live the change we wish to see created.
So yes, many new, modern practices are not the best, and some are downright nasty ... but don’t condemn evolution for this...just keep on growing, keep expanding your awareness, embrace this breath of fresh air that revitalizes your old bones... or not...
You can just turn your back to everything, and be an old curmudgeon, bitching and complaining about the youth of today, and all their weird music / clothes / hairstyle / fangled speech... and, if you are really, really good at this, they’ll make a movie about you...[except it will be made as an interactive, Virtual-Reality, personal experience...well, I guess ‘good old movies’ are out ... Oh, well, c’est la vie !]
...and if you need some insight / support / guidance, then check out our classes... for change is here to stay [and it’s the only thing that can offer salvation...]
