Interestingly,
when I scan back through much of my life, and recall the points of
wanting/needing something, striving for it and getting it, I realize
that those points were all of the starting point of mind/energy/fear,
projected onto a goal, leading me to physically move myself to
achieve that goal. And then after a fleeting moment of
relief/accomplishment/security projected onto a point of having
achieved something, the next challenge/want/need/desire would come
along. And so it has been: me chasing an idea/image of me that I had
created in my mind, believing/hoping that obtaining these goals would
lead to some form of real satisfaction/contentment/happiness that
remained forever as who I am. But it never stayed because it was
never me, just experiences, mined/energy defined, accepted and
allowed by me because I believed it to be real. It's a vicious
cycle, believing that we are all entitled to more and more and more.
So much waste; why
don't we human beings simply open our eyes and deal with the reality
that is here, instead of chasing our wants/needs/desires – fear
based illusions, of the mind? Why is it that so few of us seem to
realize or care that, within a closed system with limited resources,
the “more” we get and have, the less there is for the rest? The
statistics are easy to easy enough to read: 22,000 children dying
needlessly each day due to poverty; three-billion living on less than
$2.50 a day, dead zones in the ocean..., and the list goes on. In
case anyone wants to know who's responsible for all this misery, look
no further than me and my TV's, computers, cars, motorcycles..., and
the rest of us who sit back in comfortable chairs, thinking,
believing that there's nothing we can do.
In the past, I have been asked “what are you going to do about it?” My answer
is quite simple: change myself to become a force that stands for and
considers what is best for all. The only way for All to have more is
for all to equally have more, equality and oneness. It's the way we
all should have been moving all along, yet somewhere along the line
we went wrong – forward in spite and self-interest to arrive at
where we are now, a world in reverse. So let's just right it by
writing and walking the change.
