Eminent Change
We’ve needed a change. Change only comes when things get too uncomfortable to continue in the same direction. Forced change is usually the most effective as people still haven’t learned how to get along well enough to make the best decisions. Perhaps the soul of humanity is welling up and providing a way toward those ends.
Keeping an eye on the horizon and observing the present, at least a little informed, the changing of ages seems relevant to note, and the chaos of change apparent in the natural order of things right now. According to at least one source, the 7-10 year period following the Winter Solstice of 2012 would be full of challenge and turmoil. We just didn’t know exactly what.
Be that as it may, it is important to keep things in perspective. In spite of the great challenge we face globally, it requires us all to learn how to work together better and move beyond the petty differences that have kept us from embracing the unity in diversity we so treasure in our ideal America. People, not politics or profiteers, are rising to the occasion like the Phoenix.
Efforts are being made and things will get better. We all needed a holiday to get our heads on straight. It just happened to be forced. The call that has been welling up in humanity, for a more caring and concerned citizenry and leadership, has been heard. Prayers are being answered, perhaps not in the way we anticipated, yet they are being answered.
A better world is on its way. We’ve had to get further away from each other to get closer; such is the irony of destiny at times. So, we’ve been forced to take a break from our routines. Here are some ideas on how to enjoy it more.
Smarter Choices – Smarter Humans
If we were smart and thoughtful in our preparations for the next phase of humanity’s journey, recovery and reformation, we would examine and update all the systems critical to our communication around the globe. One perspective of that endeavor is with materials and technology, the other is human leadership and strategy.
We have an opportunity to unite as a planetary civilization, perhaps not in a very comfortable way at first, though wars over resources are certainly less important with a global pandemic on our hands. Our world has been managed by profiteers, capitalists that care nothing for human life. In many ways, Nature has put a damper on those activities through the introduction of COVID-19.
Restoring order to everyday living will take some time, possibly years. We need to be aware and mindful of the process. We also need to take inventory of ourselves; what we really want and who we trust to lead us there. In America, the leadership and organizations for handling pandemics and national health systems were gutted for no apparent reason, leaving a void that prohibited prudent and swift action that cost lives.
Apparently in Russia, the opposite occurred. Not only were they prepared; there were enough resources, human and material, to share with other countries affected by the contagion. We now have a great example and lesson for developing better systems for planetary administration. We need a revolution of conscience to prepare the way for our sustainable future.
In doing so, there are nearly insurmountable details and strategies that need to be addressed. They range from deliverables (new technologies) to distribution systems for goods and services, as well as non-polluting energy and transportation systems. Those items are pretty obvious. There is one that isn’t, though.
Our educational systems have been based on production; who needs to know what in order to be a productive member of society or cog in the wheel of the corporatocracy as a white- or blue-collar worker. We haven’t addressed the nature of intellectual evolution, let alone the effect of understanding how quantum physics has proven thoughts and feelings are intricately woven into creating our reality.
The latter is a conundrum. It naturally moves us beyond the constraints of religious thinking. In actuality, it replaces God with human accountability and responsibility. We aren’t ready for that, yet. Evolution of the human condition; the mind, body, and spirit complex system has no more excuses for ‘the devil made me do it’ or ‘God willed this to happen.’ The evo-leap calls us to order in the highest sense possible. It isn’t blasphemous or heretical – it’s science.
