Humanity is at a defining moment in its history where we cannot continue to measure our progress by the conventional thinking which have encouraged apathy and selfishness as acceptable societal norms to attain our individual goals. Our choices have promoted a vast amount of suffering at the individual and global level and contributed directly to mass consumption, environmental degradation, extinct
ion, injustice, oppression, greed, war, depression, and famine. Our understanding of these adverse effects on our world and the sources of their conception is essential in unraveling the sources, by focusing on the root causes of this collective insanity, thus, ultimately furnishing us with the knowledge and awareness to make substantial change. We have allowed our cultural prejudices, and self induced ideologies to dictate our perception of the world. These current ways of thinking have limited our awareness and growth, and promoted an apathetic view towards anything that doesn't directly serve ourselves. We must learn to re-evaluate our beliefs and investigate their inception, agenda, and root causes to better understand why we have gravitated towards them. Our ability to analyze, think freely and openly observe our surroundings and actionable contributions are imperative to our survival as a species, as our current path to greed and destruction has only benefited a small minority while ignoring all living systems. Identifying the damaging and dysfunctional behavior of our world is an essential responsibility for us all, not a right, nor a luxury. It is time to take accountability for our participation in any and all activity/energy that does not service our world. We have become lazy, distracted, apathetic and complacent through technological advancements, and allowed others with monetary goals to dictate our lives, and our futures. We have made tremendous strides in the understanding of our world through science, technology, and information, although these advancements have been suppressed and/or manipulated to meet the objectives of a few. It is time to implement these tools for the benefit of all, and evolve into a species of high consciousness and awareness. We live under the veil of illusion that everything in this world is separate of itself. We are, in fact one, interconnected in a web of energy and mass temporarily coming together for this particular moment, where all things have a direct influence on everything else. Believing in this illusion, we’ve devised ways to temporarily satisfy ourselves and our egos, through decisive and powerful methods with the sole intention to justify our personal existence and fulfill our perceived sense of self. This approach to life has left us lonely, insecure, afraid, and hungry for external sources of fulfillment, and unfortunately contributed to the destructive and self defeating paradigm. These methods are temporary, and promote a cycle in which we’ve learned to frequently revisit, continuing the cycles of suffering, and encouraging a competitive and dominate society. The world is currently experiencing a collective and global awakening. People are becoming aware of the universal suffering in the world, and choosing to evolve to a heightened state of peace, love, and understanding as an alternative to the infectious insanity that currently plagues our species. A conscious evolution is spreading amongst the masses, transforming the foundation of conventional methods of thought and consciousness. The change needed to survive starts from within ourselves, and together we have the power to enhance the world and our understanding of it. Through consciousness and love, the world can experience the harmony in our true identity. In our core, we are creative, compassionate, and a loving species, and information, technology, and awareness have provided the tools necessary to experience this reality. Let us unite with the source and experience this shift together…
