Time For A Change
Nov 21st
Everybody knows that Nature is constantly changing seasons, changing shapes, changing colors. I’ve been thinking a lot more lately, which has been an amazing change for me. Now I’m not talking about the worrying that most people consider to be thinking… the what-do-I-have-to-do-today kind of thinking, but actual creative thought. The peace and joy and love that have flowed into my life as a result have been, well, as you might imagine, wonderful.
What about you though? Are you happy? Be honest. If you aren’t, then why aren’t you? Why do we do things (like our jobs) that we don’t want to do? Some people might call this lying. This was just one quick example, but is it any wonder why we find it so hard to be happy in our technocratic world? We lie to ourselves first and foremost, and then somehow expect ourselves to be happy with ourselves? What have the Sons and Daughters of God done to themselves? Why is it that Man feels helpless, powerless, and miserable?
Is it time for a change? Time to take back what is rightfully ours? Time to be free. Free from the worries of money, food, clothing, shelter… Free from jobs that you hate, and a purposeless life. Free from selling your children into the same slave producing lifestyle that has us weighed down beneath a pile of debt, all because we’ve let ourselves believe that we need this car, or that house. Man was meant to be more than a Consumer of products from a lifeless society.
God gave Man all of creation, and all we’ve managed to do with it is rip it apart and create inferior mechanical versions of it that constantly break down and rob us of our time and joy.
It’s time for Man to realize that what we’ve been given (Everything) is already perfect. We don’t need to “fix” or “invent” anything to help us be happy. Our only requirement is Co-creation and the enjoyment of its contemplation.
Think about it… It’s time for a change.
Electing Change
Nov 5th
So, as you may have heard, yesterday we had a little election in the States. Two men were running for the office of President. One ran with the theme of Change, while the other pandered more toward maintaining the status quo.
The results came in, and America voted overwhelmingly for Change. Out with the old, in with the new.
It was exciting to see so many people excited last night, and as I watched those people, I couldn’t help but wonder: What will they be saying about the state of our country in two years? Four years?
All too easily, we get worked up into excitement about making a change in our lives. And we run out and take that first step, full of passion and fire… And then the excitement fades. The buzz dies down.
What do we do then?
This year, don’t wait on a President. What one thing can you do in your life to bring about the change you want to see in the world?
All too often we expect someone else to do the work for us, and look what it’s gotten us! Take 60 seconds and think about it. What can you do? Voting is all well and good, but it’s still just telling someone what you want to happen. What action can you take? As the Buddha said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
