It comes as no surprise to realize that the whole world is standing at a major crossroad - not just spiritually and ethically, but also in terms of Heart Consciousness ... what we choose today will decide the future we’ll create.
For far too long we have stood aside, watching special interest groups manipulate not only the world’s finances, but also discard basic human rights...even as they appear to champion them.
“The pursuit of Happiness” - is that defined by minimum wage... or basic health care ? What about ‘respect’, or better still: the idea that ‘We’re all equal... but only as long as you belong to my tribe’ ! Oh, how often have I heard such facile arguments ... It’s always been ironic to consider how many wars and conflicts have been initiated in the name of peaceful religions, as if the Master was one that relished violence as a way to resolve differences !
Well, the problem is not one that can be allowed to remain much longer...
You see, if Leadership is not willing to be progressive, to consider the good of the whole nation, to realize that ‘being-in-charge’ does not mean they are entitled to use and abuse their power and status as they wish [Hey, nepotism is not a type of ice-cream !]...
That, in fact, being a Leader means duties and responsibilities...
If they do not understand this most basic truth, then why are we electing them ...?
And more, why are we still allowing them to continue this way... ?
I am distraught by the pedophiles in the Church... by the violence in the classrooms ... by the abuse of power within the police force ... by special interest groups that care more about making money than in the safety of their products... by political double-speak, and by their maneuvering for re-election, rather than embracing a proper ethical standard ... But what is worse is when others, who are also in authority, turn a blind eye to all this, or even promote this abuse...
To me an enabler is to be held equally responsible for the abuse that is being perpetrated.
It is time to hold ALL who are in a position of authority accountable to a higher standard
Why do you think this is so necessary now, of all times ?
Simple to answer... just consider this -
How many more school children need to be shot before we recognize this as a mental crisis ?
How many young men and women need to be raped or sexually abused, before we put a stop to it ?
How many people need to die by the hands of those who should be our ‘protectors’ ?
How much pollution are we willing to allow to contaminate Life, just so we can make more money ?
How precious is Life, that we are willing to sell it so readily ...?
When is enough, enough already !?
This is it - right here, right now...Is this the legacy we want to leave behind... this the history are we creating ?
We can all be the silent sheep, bleating, bitching and complaining, but not wanting to rock the boat in case someone gets too upset...
Or we can bring our voices together, and ask for common sense, common decency, common respect... and above all - hold those in power accountable !
A wonderful author once wrote “Dead fish starts to stink from the head down” ... and “You cannot know a man simply by his pretty face”
So here we are - at a crossroad.
We can get it right, or be counted as failures. The choice, as always, is ours.
Let us all walk this Path of Light together, helping all others on their journey, greeting each with Open Heart ... Namaste ...
