We are in the midst of a new era of creation that is revolutionizing ways of life throughout the globe. The potential of this new era is infinite, fed by imagination and will.
This is an incredible time; but, as with most epic transitions, the changes are both productive and painful. Many will enter the new era metaphorically handicapped and disabled because they are unable or unwilling to make necessary adjustments. Many will stick to old patterns of thought and behavior and stand with the sinking ships of old world power.
To embrace the vastness of this evolutionary age, growth in awareness and consciousness is necessary. It is essential to move beyond racism, sexism, poverty, world disasters, and see the bigger picture. We have been operating from and reacting to the external for too long. We have drifted far from our origins, from our Essence, from who and what we truly are.
Societal maladies are symptoms. They are manifestations of a power within us that is not being utilized constructively. Many react to this power’s harmful use instead of channeling the power with conscious awareness and loving focus. If we desire true and lasting change, we must stop responding, reacting, and becoming entangled within cycles of discordant thought and behavior. Our minds and souls distinguish us from animals. We are higher on the ladder of evolution and, thus, more capable of ascending to the potential that is our gift and destiny. We can choose to live beyond fighting and killing as a basis for survival.
Many battle the injustices of the world, but don’t struggle against injustice within themselves, which is a source of disharmony among family, friends, neighbors and, ultimately, the world. What we create on a micro (individual) level effects the macro (global) environment. If my goal is universal evolution, I need to change myself right now. I have to stop harboring resentment, anger, and fear. I must stop being reactive. Unless we stop the suffering and pain within ourselves, disharmony in the world will endlessly remain.
