Life is double-sided; there’s a wrong side and a right side; a sad side and a happy side. There’s a good side and a bad side; a black side and a bright side. So when things seem dark to me, I just change my thoughts about; and I’ve come to see that life looks quite different if you turn it best side out. We face today an unprecedented set of problems in the world; and we stand @ the abyss, as the steadily approaching threshold of unimaginable chaos, calamity, death and destruction finds us one by one. I do believe that there exists a lasting solution to these issues facing us. This solution came to me via Bishop Carlton Pearson and he said, “I think the universe it not judging, but correcting itself and we're having to confront these issues."
This AH HA MOMENT made me realize that EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS AS IT SHOULD BE! Each of us has a role to play, from the criminal to the new born baby, we are MORE than capable of helping the world, despite our fears, limitations and the uncertainty that holds us back. We need to do away with the commonly accepted notion that it is impossible to make a difference without unlimited funding or free time when most healing, cleansing, and spreading of joy is accomplished in a matter of minutes. The universe is correcting itself everyday in EVERY way and as I often tell folks, ‘do what should be done or it will be done for you!’
Of course the things that keep this world spinning are many AND diverse and it seem as if I am ambitiously over simplifying what we face on a daily then shoot me for my attempt. Because I’ve come to the conclusion that every murder that takes place, every rape and the many other social ills that plague us are meant to be. We’ve been spinning out on control for far TOO long and in order for there to be balance, extreme action is needed. How do you live knowing that your neighbor down the street has NO food to eat, yet you have an abundance and REFUSE to share? Do you have a right to not share? YES! Does the neighbor have the right to kill you for your food? NO! However, both have a human right to care for each other and since that isn’t happening well…Life is SO simple in my mind and the root cause of what plagues us lies in the realm of ideas and with what people believe.
Some would disagree with this entry and that’s fine with me. However, we cannot deny that we are responsible for each murder, rape, robbery etc in some shape or form. We all know that belief without action is impotent, just as action without the belief is often misguided. So with that said, doesn’t it make sense that in order to ‘fix’ what we broke, we need to shift consciousness? And this in turn would influence our Social organization, Economic activity and Political policy. For it is the beliefs held in people’s minds, which cause them to do what they do. And since we aren’t moved by the many persons being murdered, rapped or robbed, the universe WILL change things for us. After all behaviour derives from thoughts, and thoughts derive from beliefs and these beliefs derive from and consist of ideas. So what other choice is there?
ALL life in the universe has meaning and purpose in being part of the process by which the emergent wholeness is going to recreated; and the future can be partially created through our present. It is then and only then we look upon our lives with a sense of hope AND fuel our determination to construct our lives. Even though unexpected events may throw us off course, seeing that we have the power to design our lives gives us the strength and will to follow our vision, for true hope is rooted in being confident and positive about what we are able to achieve. My belief in EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE develops itself from the notion that the power of truth will ultimately have an effect upon the world that will be most profound! ARE YOU WITH ME?
