It’s all Happening at the Zoo II

With the recent upheaval and upcoming changes to the financial system it seems that another one of the pillars of our society is falling. First we started with things on a global scale. Communism fell, the Catholic church lost a lot of credibility with their scandal, and multiple countries had politicians abusing their power and getting caught. The United States especially has lost a lot of its influence in the world over the past few years. Now we have the financial industry, the one that keeps us afloat, on the brink of bankruptcy and ruin. What does this mean?

I believe it means we are getting ever closer to a massive change in the way the world works. We are becoming more spiritual and the selfish and petty ways we have been running the world will no longer work. All the old ways have to change and change quickly. If we don’t make the change voluntarily it will be made for us and the speed at which it changes will feel anywhere from harsh to ‘life as we know it’ threatening. What can we do?

I have two quotes that I hope will shed some light on what you can do.

“A bunch of weak people, even in numbers, aren’t strong. Get a whole bunch of confused people together and see how much clarity comes out of it. In other words, you just can’t add one more confused person to the pot, and expect to get any more clarity… One—standing outside of the confused group—who is clear, is more powerful than a million who are confused.” – Abraham

“I would like to make a heartfelt request to each of you.  As things continue to unfold in the world around you, I would ask that you make a conscious effort to stay connected to your heart and to joy. What the world needs now is people radiating love and peace. Say a prayer, go to your center and feel the love that is there for you. Ask Spirit to remind you to bring forth that love into your life and trust that there is nothing more powerful that you can do than to radiate love for yourself and for mankind.” –Carol Billingham

The View

I caught a glimpse of The View on tv yesterday and saw Whoopi Goldberg talking about how she was raised. It is very unusual that she became a performer because she cares so little about how others see her. She talked about how she was raised and credited her mother with the attitude she has today. She said that her mom use to tell her that she always needed to be happy with herself first. If she tried to make others happy it would always be a changing target, one that could never be satisfied. If she just tried to make herself happy she wouldn’t worry about what others thought and could remain happy with herself most of the time. She called it being selfish and I agree. I think we should all be just a little bit more selfish. Try making yourself happy for a little while and see what happens.
