The culture, on the other hand, IS WAKING up to what has been perpetrated upon them throughout the years. What do you think the protests all over the world are? The messages of the protests might feel a bit unclear... just like someone who awakens after a very long and deep sleep being unclear and foggy in the morning... but the waking IS happening. Just look around. It is exciting!
The time left for those embracing and clinging to the ways of greed, control, domination and fear IS running out. So let them go through their 'death throws' and try with futile attempts to keep their ways alive. You cannot put an awakening society back to sleep against their will.... they are awake.. they see.
I SEE a wonderful future for the human culture and our world. There is an evolution - a revolution - happening within humanity on our planet right now. I choose to SEE and FEED the side of the coin that I want to live.. not the opposite. Many choose to feed the opposite side of the coin: "As a race we are troubled and our long-term survivability chances do not seem very good...." There is PLENTY of evidence to the contrary if one wants to see it. We always will align with the evidence we are looking for.
There is a lot of emphasis and focus in the world on working to change others. It is not our responsibility or our right to change others, their thinking, their feelings, their behaviors or ways. And truly, we cannot. We can only change ourselves; our thinking, feelings, behaviors and ways of being. As we do, we will inspire those we interact with, who are ready to expand and change, to do so. Those who are not ready will cease to interact with us because it will not be comfortable for them to do so.
Even those of us in so called "helping professions" cannot change others against their will. We can merely ILLUMINATE the possibilities, the new way of being in life that they can choose -- but we cannot another choose this or chose for them. Our own happiness and freedom will never be experienced or achieved as long as we focus on changing others. Gandhi did not say: "Push for the change you wish to see in the world" for a reason.
EVERY MOMENT is a new one and only tied to the moments that have come before by the thinking (and vibration) we carry into the new moment. Each moment is an opportunity to choose a NEW, FRESH PERSPECTIVE AND WAY OF BEING and live it. As each one of us does, each life will transform, one by one. We CAN CHANGE our thinking, beliefs, behaviors and the way we interact with and in the world. As we do, the world WE EXPERIENCE will magically change too.
Never underestimate the power that is within YOU!
