Air in the New Year

The air which we breathe could always kill us…we are just more aware of it now!

This is not an expose on the impacts of the current pandemic, but rather a comment on the arrival of new consciousness amongst a growing wave of our global societies. Yes, this is an acknowledgment of awakenings, which I have come to embrace as necessary steps in our evolution since we have been on a cycle of devolution for eons.

In the beginning, there was one, which split into two, which split into four, which split into sixteen, and so on. The ONE is a concept I think shines light on the roots of our origins and the relationship and relativity we have with each other.

Sadly, it is the uncovering of these and other truths that have sparked fear, jealously, hatred, and balls of confusion. Storytellers have created many tales to calm this storm, as evidenced by the fabled tale of the McCoys and the Hatfields, and many others. It is the root of these misplaced egoisms that have been the center of wars, genocides, tribal upheavals, conquering, and other forms of domination. Seems sad to me that relatives would choose warring with one another over peace….also economics do seem to also sprinkle through these tribulations as wars are often based on the control of monetizable resources.

Those who control the resources can come to control or direct the mindset of the recipients. Is global domination a science-fiction screenplay or a reality we see being played out by world leaders?

The air which we breathe could always kill us…we are just more aware of it now!

We have an opportunity to course-correct and so it seems that if we don’t align ourselves with this mindset, we will destroy the planet we call home before we have cultivated another one to move to….

…Mother Earth has landed for the third time and we all have knocked her up. We have taken from the teachings of the pyramids and twisted the truth to suit our needs, but in the end….truth is in the light.

My prayer for us [beginning with me] is to self-reflect and decide what are the consequences of our projections.

Think before you walk

Think before you talk

Think before you move

Decide which way you choose to grove….

Follow your follow,

But know thyself so you know best which direction is up…

I look up when I pray

Each and every day,

As I look into the mirror to take a deeper dive.
