This is a time of polarizations.
For every act of violence and injustice there are equal and opposite acts of kindness and love. Along side the destructive forces of nature, there is regeneration. Amidst disease and death, there is healing and rebirth. However, on this scale of contrasts, we’ve reached a critical tipping point.
We have looked for answers from officials, experts, and media’s mixed messages and have found only contradiction and confusion.
We have become self-indulgent while looking to others for stability and security.
In a world lost of traditions and a sense of community, our youth feel entitled yet impotent. Our nation’s future is checking out and self-medicating. The patterns of our conditioning have turned us into lemmings heading for the cliff. And the only way to avoid the great fall is to journey in a new direction. Inward.
This is a time to step back to see the big picture. Take a breath and slow down. Embrace the depths so we can climb to new heights. Only from this new perspective can we see a world of our making.
From this space, we can close our eyes to the chaos and simply listen to the voice within to learn who we really are. It is not what we’ve been told. We are not worthless. We are value. We are not impoverished or impotent. We are powerful beyond imagination.
What we didn’t learn in school is that each of us is unique and has a purpose on Earth. Purpose is passion, and we only need to discover it and share it. In the process of self-discovery, it is critical to ask for guidance, listen to voice of Spirit, and trust in ourselves. This is the journey within.
At our core, we are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, the stuff of stars. We are imaginators and creators and healers who heal ourselves. In order to know our true power, value, and purpose we need to come out of ourselves and learn to give back. We need to shift from Service-to-Self to Service-to-Others. Each act in service toward others ripples out to affect everyone around us in a positive way. We heal ourselves and we heal the Earth.
Polarization shifts to peace.
