Being a seeker means believing in change and that change is good. First and foremost it means believing that change in yourself is healthy and second, believing that change in society helps you change yourself. I believe society is about to change radically. How exactly that transformation will present itself is unknown but change should be showing in long hold institutions before very long.
The New Agers, born again Christians, Native Americans and various other groups have been saying for a long time that the world will go through a radical change. I have been waiting and waiting for something to happen and in the past few years have begun seeing many changes, including the fall of communism, the rise of China, the fall of the Catholic Church. severe weather changes and more. It’s now time to change the institutions that we count on for daily living to get us out of this downward spiral.
We are spiritual beings living a human existence, yet we don’t act very spiritual. The United States was attacked by a radical fundamentalist group who do not believe in a loving God. What did we do? We took over two countries. The people earning most of the top dollars today are in the sports and entertainment industries yet most of the examples we hear of their lives are something we would not want our children to hear. And yes, the teachers who are responsible for raising our future leaders are some of the lowest paid professionals around. It’s almost like watching the fall of Rome.
What can we do? We can always begin with ourselves. Look for love in your heart even when it would be hard to find. You didn’t choose your mate just to find all their flaws so start expressing some of the qualities they have that you love best. I’m sure you didn’t want to raise your children exactly as your parents did, instead choosing to be the best parent you could possibly imagine. Start becoming that person. Read self help books, see a therapist, share your feeling about your life with someone close. Pay it forward by being kind to a stranger. Maybe it’s the cashier who is having a bad day and is grumpy. Just repeat the words “love, love, love” silently to them and see if there is a change. It’s actually fun. Remember, do unto others as you would have them do to you.
The world is about to get rocked. Make sure your foundation is a good one.
