What could be the cause of humanities struggle? The what, now seems a chaotic mess of disconnection and fear driven escalation. To what end? What could be the silver lining in this playbook? Like cattle heading towards a cliff and picking up speed. You may say, I’m no cow, I know the situation. The world is a fearful place. How do you think a stampede starts? It only takes one cow crying wolf to set off a stampede of loyal followers.
A closer look at the dynamics of the metaphorical stampede. (A), You must have fertile ground for a seed to grow. (B), You must have water and sunlight to nourish growth. Once all criteria are met, then time delivers its bounty. At present time we are seeing our creations come to maturity for all the world to see. You may say, this is not my creation, I don’t want this. How exactly do you think creation is held in place? I think I heard this saying once from a famous teacher 2000 years ago. “Believe you already have it and it shall be given”
What do you believe? Do you believe the world is a fearful place? Imagine what we can do when our masses come together for a cause. You don’t have to imagine it, it’s here for all to see. Ok then, who can we point the finger at? Who is the one that cried wolf? You did. Well, I know that’s BS. I didn’t cause all this. You are insane. You think that somehow your hands are clean while you hold fear in your heart? Ask and you shall receive. What is your heart saying?
Next you will say, I have fear for the way things are, but I hope for peace. A utopian vision is always the cause of the darkness that plagues this world. Listen to me! There is a better way! And the fear in your heart is the fertile ground for the seed of utopia. And now they shower you with water and sunlight. There is nothing like the feeling of power held in fearful hearts for the cause of righteousness. Together we will triumph over the evil that’s been bestowed upon us. Together we stand in defiance for our speakers truth. Together we gather our momentum and recruit the loyal. Loyalty above all else do we lock hands towards the cliff.
What? No, wait a minute, this is not that. No, this is a real cause for justice and the rightful return of my peaceful heart. I seen a funny post the other day poking fun at the cause of the current stampede. It said something like; look at that guy sitting over there with no phone or tv. He has no idea how fearful and anxious he’s supposed to be. It sounds to me like this guy is walking the path of faith, rather than fear. Ignoring the shallow thoughts of utopia and the banter of the fearful. Knowing that only chaos can come where echoes of fearful doom await the the loyal followers.
Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow, they neither toil nor spin, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. What do you think one of our greatest teachers would say about the current world situation? Do you think he would join the stampede or would he remind you of this basic fact. You are the creator of your world. You hold the key to your prosperity or demise. You cultivate the soil of your own experience. The seed you plant is a reflection of your own self worth. Easy is the road to your demise. So well kept here in the darkened world of utopia.
Your own value is what brings on the world you see. The hearts of the damned cry out; take my loyalty for the cause of the righteous. We shall be victorious over the weak. See how they are stupid and evil. God will punish them, only we are chosen. As the cliff comes into view, comes the final cry welcoming death. I will gladly give my life for my saviors vision. I will choose my conviction of being right and sink my ship for glories call.
Sure sounds familiar. Seems like a broken record. Ouch, did I just compare the whole of human history to a broken record? Yet in the grip of each utopian vision they thought, no, this time is different. And so it goes, on and on. The foundation is fear plain and simple. Fear of what? It comes from the same place since the beginning of time. Fear of being what you believe you are. Unworthy. A feeling of not being good enough within, causes all the problems for humanity. All disfunction is born from it. Whether you are the follower or the leader of the crusade to glory. Fear of not being enough is the driving force. The loudest lay claim not to righteousness, but to the horrid sound of the condemned.
You may think I would look harshly on them as they rattle there sabers. The ones that rise in the name of righteousness are truly in hell. There walls built so high, they need the whole world to help them escape. They need the world to shout there name with love and loyalty they could never give themselves. They are not to be looked on with anything but compassion and understanding. But never to be followed, for there path is one of destruction. Self destruction, but as they say, misery loves company. What they don’t realize, like all the utopian crusades of the past. They are doomed to fail. Not by the hand of there perceived enemy, but by there own. Let them be your example to see. Only you decide your worthiness. Or more correctly. In your depth holds your worth to be discovered. Far beyond any estimate the world could ever give you. Your Kingdom awaits discovery, not worthiness.
Open to kindness within, knowing it’s well deserved. Plant your seeds of worthiness in the soil of faith. Allow your water and sunlight to be your own kind eye’s of reflection and the Kingdom within will rise to meet you. With a message of eternal Love. The dawn of real change is upon us. As darkness breaths its last breath, know these words to be true; “As you see it, so shall you be it”. True Love lives in the hearts of each one of us. You need only open to it and it shall be given…
