What kind of civilization allows and encourages a handful of its members to accumulate untold wealth and live a life of obscene excess while billions are lacking the most basic necessities? What kind of person can observe suffering in another and not do something about it? Only the most unevolved.
The arrogance of humans on planet Earth is stunning.
The aboriginals we look down upon are far more advanced in terms of understanding their place in the biosphere and Universe—while the vast majority are essentially yahoos: mere primitives in Consciousness, yet believing ourselves the 'Crown of Creation.'
For while this human ‘civilization’ has plundered the Earth and accumulated wealth, advancing technology to astonishing levels, most are still driven by the basest of impulses—lust, greed, anger, pride and fear: killing one another over resources, waging wars based on ideology, elevating vanity to a virtue, while oblivious to the machinations of those in power whose smoke and mirrors keep us entranced and in their control—ostensibly free but actually slaves to our senses, spending our days as cogs in the machines of commerce, working endlessly for the sole purpose of acquiring ‘stuff’ or attaining ‘success.’
At the same time, there are a handful who have reached an enlightened state—an Understanding that removes them from the Illusion and allows them to dwell untouched by the miasma of desire—and a growing number who are being awakened to this Understanding.
Where are you in this process? Are you still striving for the ‘American Dream’ or are you one of the fortunate who recognize there is something greater? Have you gotten caught in the Intellect, priding yourself on your capacity for complex thought? Or have you joined the masses enrolled in endless pursuit of ‘improvement’—not realizing that commerce in the name of spirituality is commerce still, merely substituting one illusion for another more self-righteous one, enriching the self-styled gurus while the followers chase their tails in fruitless pursuit of relief while still believing in ‘the good life?’
As long as one exists in the realm of ‘mind’ one is subject to the duality of its nature—one cannot go beyond the mind with the mind. One cannot think one’s way to the next level of being.
Fortunately, there is a transformative energy emerging on the planet: an expansion of Consciousness called the Evolution Revolution. The Evolution Revolution is calling us to open our Hearts & Minds and allow ourselves to be awakened to a Greater Reality—a reality where Compassion is the coin of trade, and Harmony the measure of success. A reality that recognizes that harm to any is harm to Self, and all Life is sacred.
The Evolution Revolution is progressing apace—embrace it and evolve into your True Self.
