Updating my agreements with myself
Agreements, among other things, make the world go round.
Every aspect of life has agreements attached, both conscious and unconscious ones.
Conscious agreements include the agreement to speak the truth, and to hear that truth.
Peace is more than an absence of war
Peace is a quality of life issue.
Peace is a creative, living energy. True peace isn’t static – there is constant movement and growth in its creation. When we decide to make peace a choice, we can choose it again and again.
Having a passion for this healing vibration means you can create from an experience of having peace, rather than in response to war. What if peace were much more than just not fighting?
Question authority and become your own
You may recognize this famous photo, taken during an antiwar demonstration in 1967.
The 1960′s ushered in a revolution in ways of thinking and living, life. A tumultuous time, it was marked by both an end to innocence*, as well as a longing for more of the same. The old was explosively giving way to the new, as people all around the earth were born into a new era.
*Innocence Is defined in this example as ‘not knowing’ or ‘unaware’.
Social change is a consciousness issue
It may begin with a wish, a new picture for a better way of living.
Perhaps there is a deep desire to let go of the status quo, because it simply doesn’t work anymore. It’s time to get out of the way – here comes the future. It’s evolution, baby!
Revolution comes from within. Before any social change is created in the outer world, in the United States and abroad, it first of all begins within. True revolution is not imposed on us from some force ‘out there’. We create it; when we are ready for new growth and change, it comes easily.
The personal is political is spiritual
Your consciousness changes the world in which you live.
When you decide to wake up and become aware, that simple action changes your world.
Of course, once you do all that, you’ll find it very difficult to go back to sleep and ignore what’s happening around you, or worse, pretend it isn’t. Even if it’s hard to know, it’s harder to be unconscious.
We certainly live in an illuminating time, which isn’t to say that it’s easy here on earth.
