Although we've been told we live in a free country and we should be grateful for our freedom I personally identify with humanity as a group and not one country. America has worshipped the god of war for a long time now and the luxuries we live with are due largely in part to our destruction and enslavement of many other cultures and societies. I do not feel this is balanced, necessary, or sustainable. I was apathetic for a long time because it was easier than facing the truth. Then I was angry for a long time because I thought that "they" were responsible for what I witness. Now I realize that we have all created this reality and we can change it. I no longer feel helpless because I am aware that my thoughts, words, and actions can help shift the course of my life and humanity.

That is why I choose to live the way I do. I feel that we've all been taking too much and not giving much back. I found inner peace when I realized the only gratifying purpose in life is to give yourself fully to service of others. Having children helped me see this. And realizing that I would rather spend my time with them instead of working for money to provide what our society deems appropriate, while depriving my family of my presence, has provoked me to find creative ways to manifest the abundance (which is our divine inheritance) for us.

Rae says my sentences are run ons and that its hard to follow so i apologize... What I want to convey is that the world we are living in is very malleable. You can change any aspect of your reality that is displeasing to you. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Once your cup is mended of its cracks it will fill and then overflow into the world around you.

The earth is a live sentient being of which you are one cell. Humanity is one organ put here to help care for the earth. Right now her immune system is cleansing the cancerous cells from her body. Cancerous cells are those that take more resources than they use and don't benefit the whole. We all have played a part in creating the imbalance - so blaming the problems on others only fuels the problem. We need to each acknowledge the ways we are out of balance and begin to shift them in ourselves. As the light of truth begins to penetrate our being we can see more clearly what constitues right action. Focus on yourself and if you see opportunities to be of service that are within your integrity then do it!

We need to tolerate our own shortcomings and those of others. There is no one true religion! Each has bits and pieces of truth and each has outdated dogma that only serves to enslave. Take those teachings which are of love and peace and which make your heart sing and leave those that don't. Love your neighbor - do you even know your neighbors names? We all have created little boxes which we live in denial in and its time to wake up! The economy is collapsing, the earth shifts are upon us, innocent children are suffering, starving, and dying while we eat too much food sitting inside our little boxes watching boxes sending out programming which says "buy more" "be scared" " you aren't good enough" "don't ask questions"

WAKE UP! PLEASE! Apathy is a symptom of depression which is a symptom of self hatred which we have been told is a pathway to god. Divine is everywhere and the quickest path is on a walk outside enjoying the beauty of the earth and being of service to others. Scrutinize your thoughts words and actions and commit to removing all those which are not of Love, Peace, Joy, Kindness, Compassion, etc.
