At this time in the Earth's history, we truly live in important and interesting times. There is great consequence and urgency to our actions. Our decisions and actions will be remembered for generations to come.
What we do today affects tomorrow. We are pushing the earth to its limits literally, in population, resources, and it's capacity to sustain human life. At this time in our evolution, it is being revealed in many ways that we are all connected.
Pioneers and leaders in technology and science are leading us to an understanding of reality that spiritual traditions have been at for millennia. All of life is connected, that in fact we are all one. One people, one planet.
Our lesson, we must learn to live together in peace and understanding, realizing that all of life is sacred and we are all joined together by our humanness.
The Native Americans have a beautiful philosophy regarding action, when you take action you should contemplate it's effect on the next seven generations. There is a deep wisdom here, one that is worth some consideration in our evolving world.
For those of us who are fortunate enough to live in an abundant land and have so many blessings and material comforts, it can easily be forgotten how much the world is in crisis. We can easily forget behind the business of our own lives, our televisions and the many material distractions that we have, that we are in a time of deep crisis, a crisis of living and more deeply a crisis of spirit.
Can we learn to live together, to respect each other, help each other and create a country, a world where we live in harmony with and have a deep respect and gratitude for nature and each other, regardless of differences.
What can we do?
There are many things that can be done, the power of one person can move mountains. There is much wisdom in an old saying "if you want to change the world, change yourself".
By nurturing and creating peace inside ourselves, within our own lives, we affect all those we come in contact with and every place we visit.
Live your life in peace, speak words of peace and pray for peace.
Whenever, wherever you can practice love, compassion and service. Your own life will bloom even more fully, like the most beautiful flower.
PEOPLE'S POWER
