Heartache and mental anguish are washing over the land as described in newscasts, tweets, magazines and social networks throughout the global community. Misery is described through tears, elegance of language, and arrogance in demeanor by confused populaces. Trials prevail while refining individual personalities and redefining family situations and global worlds.
As in the days of old, the challenge to regenerate systems of governance, weigh heavily on the populace. Nations can only be renewed when the individuals making up the nation are changed. This can be a humbling experience.
Change is dramatic. Change can be symbolically likened to Birth. More so a Re-Birthing, typified by snakes sloughing off skin; tender yet dangerous, hyper-sensitive to any breeze that blows and sore from the exertion, transformed by growth yet still a snake after all the struggle. Or perhaps a Time of Change is more like Resurrection. Resurrections are rare events. They seem to capture a populace by surprise. Resurrections are controversial. It seems everyone has a ‘personal’ opinion about the resurrection, while resurrections have a way of involving everyone on some level, whether they know it, believe it or not. Resurrections forever initialize Change on the entire World.
From the record numbers of people willing to stand up, camp, protest, be arrested, die or become martyred, all the while united with strangers and without one true leader shows that this Change will not be birthed in ease.
Sharing discontent, milling with others helps individuals to weigh their hearts and share concerns and discover solidarity of purpose. The individual is moved to see that the whole community is endangered. This emboldens at first, determines second, and then invigorates the will. Then through revelation fear grows for those awake. They are afraid of redefining old, comfortable systems of governance, which will bare hardship and sacrifice in their personal world even though they can see gaping holes in the systems that be, brutal injustices, and mind numbing problems. Everyone mistrusts each other, as the entire population individually struggles to stay on top of the game. All the while they know the system they want change for is corrupted, that leaders are failing the people, and special interest groups struggle to have their skewed political agendas survive above another’s. The individual cries for change.
The cries for Change grow louder every day. Cries from those affected by homes foreclosed, education expenses rising or disappearing altogether, health benefits taken away, social systems crumbling, jobs lost, and the numbers of homeless and hungry, increase at alarming rates. At the same time people wonder why the Earth itself, seems to add to their burdens, with too much heat, too much water, new disease, earthquake groans, and tempest storms. Meanwhile addictions soar, the seedier side of humanity falls to greater lows, and violence surrounds life and the numbers of lost and dead grows greater. It seems everything is against them and the cries grow louder.
Each and every day, threats of impending doom grow. Once proud Nations tremble and shake, admitting with trepidations precarious situations, making them beg for help and look for answers. With countries swimming in debt, wobbling on collapse, humbled to admit their greed and defiant corruption, the greatest fear adds to the symphony of distress, the fear shared by the many, the sudden yet predicted failing of Monetary systems. This plants the seeds of revolution as demonstrated in cities across the Nations. North America is no exception to the rule. When pressed hard enough, all things will crumble. Money and Economies are not the end, they are merely the Idol and the Worshipers.
Many think and others know that Only Heaven can save them now. Quote “It is easy for a great number to be routed by a few, indeed in the sight of Heaven deliverance, whether by many or few, let us not fall into revolution, except if it be a revolution of the HEART.”
So what I say now please take to Heart. Out of pain rises Peace. When one’s life seems to be spinning out of control ask yourself, who are you? Out of the vast pool of humanity, are you acting for your personal world or for the future of everyone? That question might slow down quick responses to negative situations, and cause you to root out the truth for your actions and watch the actions of others. Self-control is needed to map new destinies. Better to listen, exchange ideas, to forge new dreams, to create a new destiny, than fall into the trap of hostility and blood. When people can no longer tolerate wrongs and keep them hidden, they will find ways to Change the situations they find themselves in. Nothing One does is ever truly done in isolation. Everything causes ripples. New answers come from within. When the world acts with speed, slow down. In this way one will not just be swept along, they will live life in the calm place, in the eye of the storm. Minds can be fooled and ruled; only Hearts will live Free.
What can one do? One can look within and awaken their sleeping Hearts.
One can choose to act in humility or One can be humbled. Change is constant and necessary when the stage or purpose it was made for has reached its highest good. Then it is remade, refreshed, rebirthed, and resurrected.
The choice is a gift from the Ruler of the Universe, and King of the World, The Almighty, the One and Only.
Love Always and Live Forever! Peace.
Thought to meditate on...
“Man sees the face, God knows the Heart is all One: for victory in war does not depend on the size of the fighting force: it is from Heaven strength comes.”
“The little the virtuous possesses outweighs all the wealth of the wicked.” PS. 37:16
