We are responsible for the world around us both through our
actions and our inactions. Every single choice you make has infinite
repercussions throughout eternity. As you live your day, you may
feel like you have no effect on those halfway across the world. You
may feel that events occurring in countries you don't even know the
capital of have no relation to your life. You may feel that your
life is complicated enough without the need to worry about those
you've never met. However, the entire world is connected in so many
ways to you.
What is largely unknown is the
realisation that each person is
constantly creating the world
before them - through their
daily choices, actions and
interactions. The planet is a
co-creation of each of our
individual creations, therefore
we are each responsible for the
world before us. We have become
so conditioned to live our
daily, separate lives that we
have forgotten to think
logically about what our daily
actions lead to.
LIGHTHOUSE -
SHINE THAT LIGHT
As a Lighthouse, your power lies in spreading your Light. The Power
of one person is all that is needed. In a storm, just one Lighthouse
is needed to steer the ships through the stormy seas. This is your
power
The power that you harness as an individual is incredible. It is
time to go back to school - it is time to release the conditioning
informing you that you have insignificant power. Instead,
you are able to move mountains with your intention and to save many
lives with the tiniest of your daily actions.
As you live
consciously with active intent, you create powerful waves all around
you. These waves travel endlessly to reach the ends of the ocean and
they return!
It is time to take
your power back, to recognise that You as an individual are a
powerful dynamo, ready for directing supreme power
in whatever area
you decide to focus on.

Do
You
Live
in an Oligarchy?
Spiritual Activism
Democracy [ Greek: demos
(people) karatos (rule) ]
rule by the people. Power lies with the people
Oligarchy [ Greek: oligo (few) arkhos (rule) ] a form of government where most or all political power effectively rests with a small segment of society
In our times, as the people elect their
leaders - these leaders immediately become placed above those who
have elected them, those they are supposed to work for. This is
because our ideology and practice of democracy is still in its
infancy.
Our current system allows a small group of
individuals to amass great power over the populace. The individuals
who are elected suddenly find themselves within a tight community,
within "political circles". These circles of power are centralised
and as a result an elite is immediately formed.
This is not a conspiracy but a reflection of
our primitive manifestation of what democracy is. Those in the elite
(those in government) believe they are in the best position to make
decisions for the Whole (the people). Yet who is this elite but
ordinary individuals who have been elected?
Due to
centralisation and hierarchy, the elected are quite distant from the
people that elected them resulting in them becoming less and less
responsible and accountable for their decisions. Subsequently, the
people are seen as the unruly masses that need to be controlled and
looked after - much as a shepherd herds his sheep. Ultimately, the
needs of the few eclipse the needs of the many - leading to a
situation where the people's needs are obviously not being met. Here
the only power that the people have comes during the times of
election.
A true democracy would engage the people in
all parts of politics. A true democratic process would actively
encourage the participation of the populace. A true democracy
recognises that it is the masses that should harbour the power, not
the few. For through individual power, the masses as a whole serve
each other.
However, what is crucial is the recognition
that it is the people who always have the power! It is the people
that allow any situation to occur, whether it be a political
structure or a societal norm. Any government or structure stands on
the shoulders of its people. If the people are asleep then the
governments and structures can act as they wish. However, if the
people shift, then so does the government! This is the Power of the
People!
"Be the Change
you want to see in the World"
Ghandi
What we must recognise on a daily level is
that it is both our actions as well as our inactions that lead to
the current state of our society and of course the planet. If we
harbour apathy about the political process and our place in it then
it allows for the abuse of our power and ultimately we give our
power away to governments and institutions. However, if we do this -
if we decide to refrain from the political process - then it is
vitally important that we realise that having given away our power,
we are responsible for every decision and action that our government
makes.
It is time to recognise that you have power
every single day of your lives to make a difference. There are ways
to change policies but you have simply been taught that you can't
make a difference. Despite the current system being a poor
reflection of true democracy, there are still powerful tools you can
use to change policies and the very nature of democracy into a much
more evolved one.
It is time to take
your power back and to wield it in all parts of your life. You can
make a difference, you can create change. How? By being the change
you desire in this world, you create that change around you, you
literally change the very fabric of reality to accommodate your
level of thinking. This will attract and magnify all those who think
on a similar level to you. And there are millions who think like
you.
Change is what propels any
society through barriers to
freedom, for it is only change
that challenges stagnation. And
what is stagnation but a step
behind evolution and
progression. By challenging what
we see around us as well as
crucially allowing ourselves to
be challenged do we allow ourselves to
grow as both individuals and as
a species.
Creating change in our personal
lives is what makes us happy,
for it allows us to experience
new things and thus be open to
newer things. When we look out
into the world and see things
that we don't like, then it is
within our power to change that.
Living by example is the most powerful way to create change in this world. What we must each realise
is that by allowing change into our lives, we allow ourselves to grow - and this is the path to happiness.
Tear down the
walls of illusion.
Take Your Power
Back
To change the
world around us there are key principles to adhere to a
compassionate framework. Remember, recognise your power. Live
pro-actively as
opposed to
passively, as you
recognise that every
single one of your
actions has
repercussions.
Remembering that you
are here to interact
with others, so act
consciously! Use
your compassionate knowledge for
constant positive
change, for yourself
and others. Unity is realised through wisdom and
awareness:
KALEIDOSCOPE
VISION
Understanding that
everything we see is a result of our own perceptions. Thus we are
each looking at the world through "distorted eyes", perceiving the
world through our own set of filters - fears, insecurities, loves,
hates, desires, wants. This a crucial point for it shows us that
everything is subject to our own judgments.
Our Kaleidoscope vision makes us see what we want to see unless we
are willing to collaborate with others and use compassion to lift
our awareness to see more of the whole truth - i.e. by working on
ourselves, alleviating our own insecurities and by recognising that
we even have insecurities allows us to see what is really going
on in the world.
NON-POLARISATION
Evolving from
an 'us against them' mentality and moving towards understanding of
both 'sides'. Polarity only segregates one group from another and
will forever create an enemy. Compassion sees the light in both
sides, so both sides must first be recognised and then understood to
move towards the realisation of a third path - that which allows for
all. Also if you disagree
with the beliefs of another, it doesn't mean that yours or theirs is
right. This is more polarisation. More evolved truths allow for the
truths of others and do not oppress any other people's truths with
its own. If you believe in something it is your birthright to
express it, providing it doesn't infringe on others.
RELEASE
OF FEAR
Realisation that
fear is never a productive asset. Fear limits, it holds us back, it
segregates and creates an enemy. Fear represents ignorance, that is
why we fear - because we don't understand. When we fear an 'enemy',
whoever that may be, it represents our ignorance of why that
individual or group or nation acts in that manner. Awareness of why
our 'enemy' acts in the way they do, allows us to understand their
cause - gifting us with the path to relating to them on a
fundamental level.
OWN
YOUR REALITY
Accept the pain in
the world, for it is a collective manifestation of all souls on the planet,
including yourself. Just as if we shy away from pain in our own
lives, we repress it further. The Darkness that exists in the world
is a reflection of the Darkness within us all. If we hide away from
it, this Darkness can never be healed and will forever be played out
for others to experience. See the Darkness not as a hopeless arena
where millions are suffering but instead as a place where you can
relate through your own inner Darkness. Thus there is meaning to the
Darkness, it has the ability to be transformed into incredible
purpose. Accept all the world as your own. When you own your
personal and global reality, you accept everything and then move
towards changing all that you see.
PRAYER
Prayer is one of the
most powerful tools
you have. When you
pray, you connect
with the Divine
within and are
therefore connected
to all living
things. Remember
when we pray we are
not begging in the
traditional sense,
instead we are
accessing our
infinite creative
power and also
asking the Universe
to
focus energy and
direct it towards a
person, or place or
scenario. It is this
vortex of energy
that serves to help
others and yourself
in ways you can only
imagine, for it is
occurring on levels
that are out of
your range of
perception. As you direct
your power, your
love towards others
or places or
situations, you
envelop those
targets and thus
revitalise them with
the power of Source. Relax
into the knowing
that this process is extremely
important and
tremendously
helpful.
VICTIM TRAP
Recognising
that by labelling an individual or group of people as victims does
not serve them. Instead it traps them into a state of being where
they are powerless. For a victim is one that is powerless against an
'outside' force. This also prevents many of us from perceiving those
that suffer as 'needing our help'. Instead, we recognise that all
people have the power within, they just need to access it.
Ironically it is always the victims that have the most power to
change a situation. Our 'help' can be in guiding others to recognise
this, so that eventually they will not need any 'outside' help in
order to proceed to take back control of their lives. This again
prevents sympathy of those that are suffering.
INTERCONNECTEDNESS
Recognising that the
entire world is a
complex web of
individual choices
that lead to a
global chain of
events. Realising
that every choice we
make, every action
we take has powerful
consequences for the
rest of humanity.
Whilst it may seem
small, with each
bite, each item we
purchase, each car
we drive and so on -
fuels the chain of
peoples' labour that
have brought us our
food, our items, our
cars. Thus we are
each responsible for
the political,
economical and
social climates of
those people within
those chains - even
if they are on the
other side of the
planet. If our
purchases, our
choices drive
their systems
- then we must take
responsibility for
it.
SERVING
THE SELF THROUGH
SERVING OTHERS
When we serve
others, we are also
serving ourselves.
This is not a
selfish concept, for
our relationship to
others depends upon
our relationship to
ourselves. An
individual who has
no inward perception
and believes they
are serving others
selflessly often
helps through
sympathy - however
sympathy serves
no-one! Sympathy
asks for
appreciation and
gratuity in return
and claims another
is a victim just
like the the one
offering the
sympathy. Compassion
recognises the
strength of all,
including those that
are suffering. Also
remember that when
we give to others,
we receive in many
ways - including
learning from those
who are assisting -
we each have
something to learn
from another. So we
move away from being
someone's saviour to
being someone's
guide, as they guide
us and teach us
about their life. When we realise this
truth, we allow
ourselves to
recognise that in
reality there is no
such thing as
selfless service,
for all service
serves also the
Self! Respect and
serve yourself, only
then can only
respect and serve
others.
SEVEN
GENERATIONS
The ancients
held a philosophy of always thinking seven generations ahead. Here
every action one makes is considered in terms of how it may affect
future descendants seven generations later. This level of
responsibility is the strength of any progressive society because it
is one that takes full responsibility for every action. We live in a
society where we think, at best, in terms of our own life and
generation and have thus treated the planet in such a way that seven
generations later, it may very well become unliveable for our
children. By adopting this timeless philosophy, we can create
change, not just for ourselves but for the entire future of the
planet and her people.
The power that you harness as an individual is incredible. It is
time to go back to school - it is time to release the conditioning
informing you that you have insignificant power. Instead,
you are able to move mountains with your intention and to save many
lives with the tiniest of your daily actions.
