VISION – How we focus on what we really Want 4

A caring, sharing, collaborative world

“Our civilized culture is failing us.  And to change things we have to start with our children, showing them the importance of love and kindness, of faith and hope, of compassion and non-violence, treating each other with dignity and respect, not as bodies to be climbed over on the road to material success.”  Brian Weiss

If your vision is of a caring, sharing, collaborative world then you need to think what it is about how you currently live that doesn’t support that vision.  The cop out is blaming everything around you for not focusing on your vision.  A reason that so many people suffer the crazy system we live within is FEAR.  Fear is a big factor in how the hierarchy control everything – people will give their power away if they are afraid and the hierarchy offers to protect them. The fact is that the hierarchy manufacture the situations that promote this fear.  Once you recognize this you can liberate yourself.  There is a term called ‘brain plasticity.’  Our brains have the wonderful ability to reform synaptic connections (also called neuroplasticity) throughout our lives.  However, this very feature is also the one that allows us to be ‘programmed.’  I have to get into what is called conspiracy theory (thinking outside the mainstream) here or as I prefer to call it ‘conspiracy analysis.’

A saying I found on TinyBuddha.com, “CHOICE is the most powerful tool we have.  Everything boils down to choice.  We exist in a field of infinite possibilities.  Every choice we make shuts an infinite number of doors and opens an infinite number of doors.  At any point we can change the direction of our lives by a simple choice.  It is all in our hearts, our hands, and our minds.”

What I have seen happening, and there is a wealth of anthorpo-sociological research to back this up, is the programming and dumbing down of the world’s population.   I will get into more of this in the next post.  But think about the Video Games being played, and the numbers of people that are addicted to instant gratification and to the electronic joy they carry everywhere.  The news seems designed to scare us and the spate of recent films seem to be showing us a plethora of dystopic futures as though to desensitize us to the possibility that this could happen.  The mainstream media carefully craft their messaging of fear and repeat it endlessly to reprogram minds to accept what they hear as truth.  As Aldous Huxley said, “The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.”  This discord that ‘others’ are to be defeated sets us against each other, let alone our cultural war against the natural world that we have been ‘fighting for the past 500 years at least.  And who benefits from this propaganda to promote fear?  ‘The controllers of humanity’ fear we will choose Love, which will break their spells.

Spiritual guru Michael roads posted one of his musings recently: “[I have been asked a whole list of questions that basically all revolve around FEAR. Let me be clear about this; when you fear an outcome you will attract that outcome. When you feel wounded, life is showing you that you are living with attachments. All reactions come from fear. Fear separates and isolates you, while Love uplifts and connects you. I am amazed at how many people look for answers to life that are based in continuing to live in fear and illusion. There is no way that illusions are ever going to give you peace. Techniques to deal with fear are no more than candles in the dark . . . and there are plenty of people who peddle them! Life is a matter of focus. Many people attempt to put boundaries around themselves. This is crazy. All humanity is One energy! How do you expect to create boundaries of separation in a field of Oneness? You cannot. Others say that no person can know universal Truth. I disagree. Once you move past the ego that keeps you as an isolated pygmy, you will find that you are a giant connected to your greater potential. You are so very much greater than your ego/identity will allow you to be.  So back to the old, old story of constantly following the freedom path by CONSCIOUSLY …choosing Love!”

I have been busy planting my vegetable garden.  I have about a 1000 sq ft of beautiful soil with organic plants – been keeping me busy during the planting, but then I can sit back and watch it grow – going in and carefully weeding each week.  A recent comment asked that I simply keep writing.  I will, but I have come to realize that this blog is one I could write all day and still have things to say.  When I wrote textbooks, it was that intense as well.  There are so many things that I need to say about the world and the how to become sustainable.  If there are specific ideas my readers would like me to cover, I can prioritize them, but otherwise I will jump about a little to try and awaken people to the realities of what is happening and what can happen if we choose a new vision!
