HELLLLOOO.....IS ANYONE HOME????????
How do we explain the inexplicable? Where do we go for answers about what just happened in Norway, or the daily suicide bombings being carried out in the Middle East? There are answers, who do we ask? Usually, we start by beseeching God, tuning into CNN or other news outlets for the pundits to tell us the gory details, dig for answers about the perpetrator and hopefully, to bring us some sort of understanding. As I followed this usual pattern myself today, I see that Amy Winehouse, that beautiful and troubled British rock-n-roller, has been found dead in her apartment. Just released from rehab so that she could go on tour, obviously had just "ONE MORE RIDE" that became her last. Only 27 years old, three cycles of 9 years that had she survived them, would have found her on a new path later this year. Suicide is suicide, she chose this and so it is. Thy have not yet, released the cause of death, but I am certain that this is a LIFESTYLE choice and yes, a sad one. Her fans will be devastated, but I hope that her death will have a resounding effect on them, a lesson about the dangers of drugs and the choices we make. Everything happens for a reason, there are NO accidents or coincidences, only happenstance, cause and reaction, INSTANT KARMA.
So, is the Norway terrorist or Amy Winehouse "HOME", are they truly in their "RIGHT" mind? Where IS the "RIGHT MIND"? How can we access that part of ourselves? Truly, you must be a SENTIENT BEING at all times, not just part of the time like most of us are, only aware of the small world that we inhabit. "THINK GLOBAL AND ACT LOCAL" was the mantra of the ecology movement and it is a good one! A dear friend of mine is a University Professor and upon asking his students if they had heard of the Murdoch scandal, they had no clue as I would not hesitate to say, that many of you are the same. Raising our awareness to include things that are happening on a global level, things that influence our lives, seen or unseen, is how you get to the "right mind" of thinking.
It was said years ago, "NEVER DISCUSS POLITICS, SEX OR RELIGION" if you want to avoid an argument. This is a mindless phrase as it precludes you from knowing things of yourself and your surroundings. The "dumbing down" of society has been a mass marketing ploy of capitalism for many years, "just give 'em what they want and don't let 'em ask questions". This has worked since the end of World War II so well, that now we are trapped by our own materialism. If we "want" it, we will "have" it without thought of where it came from or what it truly cost to produce it. We have become consumers without a conscience, never in our "right mind" and so easily drawn to depths of despair when we don't get it.
The Norwegian terrorist, is NOT a Muslim or foreign activist, he was a full blooded, home grown terrorist like our own Oklahoma bombers. What are we to learn form this event? The Oslo bombing killed 7 people and injured dozens more, but on the island of Utoya where a summer camp for youngsters aged from 13 to 20 years old was taking place, in his Police uniform, went on a shooting spree and killed over 80 children! What our take away message should be, is that in Norway, one of the most peaceful countries on this planet, it is not safe! If Norway is not safe, then NOWHERE is safe!
We have all become more isolationist, drawing down our gaze from others in order to avoid contact or even to exchange eye contact. We are withdrawing from society in order to minimize our responsibility to it, yet responsible we are, like it or not. It is as though we fear we will be asked to participate in this life, more than we want to. HELLLLOOOOOOO.........ARE YOU HOME??????
Recent events, the issues in our solar system and with our planet are enough to keep me sooooo busy, yet the Human Experience is why I am here and what develops in this sense is what I must study. It is not for all of us to do, just some of us but I urge you to be more aware of your life and those things that make up your life as these things and events matter. How deep you choose to delve into politics, sex and religion are up to you however I suggest that you do as these are the driving factors of our every waking moment. The more you understand of these three subjects, the more you will be able to access your "RIGHT MIND" as a thinking partner, we have a great gift in the size of our brains and its capacity for use. Please, let us find that level of right thinking.
I could write about our interconnectedness all day, but if you don't see it, or feel it, then it does not exist for you. Every decision you make, every left or right turn, will bring you another level of understanding, more experience and knowledge. This is the path to Wisdom, and it seems that fewer and fewer are choosing to take this Path and the path of least resistance requires less of us than the Path to Wisdom. Our planet is so very over populated, Newer Souls are arriving every day and few Older ones as well as we are in an incredibly difficult to explain and MOST interesting time. Science and Seers have never been closer in their studies of the Universe and I dare say, closer to their understanding of the ALL there is to KNOW!
I encourage you to ask more questions, challenge yourself and your "right mind" thinking until it makes sense to you, then push ever forward into the yet unchallenged areas of your life and settle for nothing less that YOUR Truth, demand it of yourself and if you have not found your Truth, than FIND IT! Ask yourself what you believe, get into your own politics and religion, ask hard questions then seek your answers. I am here if I can help you with those questions, there is no such thing as unanswered questions, only unasked ones! Until next time, I wish you Peace.
