Resolving our problems
How is it that a lack of loving kindness and compassion has lead to our world of problems? Well, compassion is a byproduct of self examination and self reflection, for as we unwind our programming, beliefs, attachments, and identifications, we start to recognize that there is no difference between ourselves and another. Only where we are in our struggle. Once we realize this we can have nothing but compassion for the other, for we recognize them as us and why would we want to hurt ourselves. This can be extrapolated to the fact that the planet, our mother, is in such dire conditions at the hands of us. The planet, Sophia Gaia, our only home and beneficent benefactor, is her own being not a dead rock whirling through space. She is so gracious and forgiving that she has allowed us to push the envelope to the point of self extinction. She will allow us to self terminate because it is her dharma to host us and support us, not to override our free will, thus allowing us the time to figure a way through this, if we don’t run out of time first. She will not allow her own extinction level event, only ours. Our treatment of our earth mother is symptomatic of our serious lack of compassion for ourselves and each other on this planet.
The United States has a war doctrine called ”Divide and Conquer” and it has now been thoroughly indoctrinated in most of the western world if not the whole world. The really sad thing about this doctrine is that it has been used by every government on the planet against not only foreign enemies but against its own people, the governments only true enemy. It has been used as policy and law and institution and cultural edict. “ We honor and worship the individual and abhor the collective as a communist or socialist ideal. In reality we have been so mentally individualized, not to be confused with individuation, that we see everyone as a threat to our “ individualness”. This belief in separateness has been so indoctrinated in us that we will fight for that which is our undoing. People are now so pacified by their belief in individualism that they are unable to recognize an existential threat. If we did we could not in all good conscience allow nuclear power plants to exist. We have been lied to about them from the beginning, because General Electric owned the NBC television group, they were in the perfect position to paint a rosy picture around nuclear power. As you should know, at the time there were only two manufacturers of nuclear power plants, General Electric and Westinghouse and the government was promoting them because they wanted the fission grade material for warheads. Any negative news about anything nuclear got so thoroughly bastardized that it was viewed as a non issue. Our governments complicity in this is just as bad and culpable as the Russians are with Chernobyl. The reality is this; nuclear power plants exist to produce fission grade materials, period. That means they exist to supply the nuclear arms industry, period. If this wasn’t the fact, then we would be using Thorium to power our reactors, but that doesn’t produce fission grade material. Our flirting with nuclear energy on this planet is the number one existential threat that we have allowed to exist. This is due to a belief in enemies. The reality is enemies exist in the mind. Separateness exists in the mind. When we work on ourselves we recognize the other as us. No separation, no difference. Yes, we are all made of the same stardust and are empowered by the same force, but we get to express our uniqueness because our individual DNA code has never existed before nor will it ever again.
It only takes looking at our suburbs to see the divide and conquer mentality playing out. We already don’t know who our neighbors are. Now we have to erect six foot plus tall concrete block walls to create our own little compound in order to feel safe. So now, not only do we not know who our neighbors are, they can’t even make contact with us to say hello or GOD forbid help us out in an emergency. Divide and conquer, completely successful. When the government wants to eliminate you, it is simple. You have put yourself in a concrete box with no escape. The narrative they will use is that you were a crazy plotting against the government in your own little compound. All your neighbors will agree you were very distant and strange and no one will be the wiser as to your demise, nor could your neighbors help to save you because you have made yourself so secretive in your battle to be an individual. Do you realize up through the 1950’s track housing had no fences or walls and that your backdoor had a doorbell so your neighbor could come by to chat. Only strangers came to the front door. This is how much ground we have lost as a people and we proclaim it as progress. Progress towards extinction. I used to play in the street with the other neighborhood kids until at least dark. Now you will never see a kid on the street unless they are considered hoodlums or homeless. Yes, we have made wonderful progress.
Our level of greed is symptomatic of our feelings of worthlessness and lack and this drives us to do unconscionable things, like starve people on the other side of the world while proclaiming there isn’t enough to go around. Of course there isn’t, it’s locked up in storehouses until the shortage creates a high enough price. If we had an understanding of the fact we are all related, made and empowered by and from the same forces, and that we are our brothers keeper and your brother is you, what we do to another wouldn’t be allowed by ourselves or tolerated by the collective. This planet has an abundance of materials for every inhabitant, we just choose to hoard what we produce rather than take care of all. In the end we will be the only judge of our actions and we will deem it despicable. You see, these starving people are people of color, so they have been deemed less than by the powers that be. That means it is ok to abuse and torture them. Yes, racism and slavery is alive and strong on this planet and its continued existence is due to a lack of compassion.
You can blame these things on the one percent, but they are just symptoms of the problem. That being, this planet is ruled by a race of beings that control us in the manner they do because they have no compassion. It is not in their DNA, but it is in ours. The one percent is still human and that is the problem. They have their weaknesses like everyone else, and theirs happens to be power and control issues mixed in with a lack of self worth and a serious fear of scarcity. These one percent have sold their souls to the devil to coin a phrase. They have become the minions of this race that rules the planet, and by extension, slave keepers. They are happy with the status quo, for it satisfies their weaknesses and allows them to feel safe. Now you might question how is it that we are not in control of our planet? We lost( maybe we never had) the ability and the right to govern our planet in the galactic council because we have not demonstrated loving kindness, and most of all, compassion for one another as part of the collective human race. When we can do this, not as a demonstration but as a need, driven by our compassion and understanding that there is no separation and never was, and that we will never again retrace those moral and ethical caverns, then and only then will humanity flourish and be allowed self governance. The process I speak of is not painless or fun. It will drive you to distraction, make you drowsy to the point of falling asleep. Anything to avoid self examination for we innately know there are things about ourselves we do not want to confront. Yet it is these things that control our decision making process through our emotional biases. As C.G. Jung is often quoted:
Until you make the unconscious conscious,
It will direct your life,
And you will call it fate.

I will not tell you the process is easy. It is simple but also takes an enormous intention and a level of dedication to hard work. Isn’t having a beautiful planet to support each and every one of us in our own journey to create, worthy of some hard work? Perhaps you would like to live on the desolate remains of Mars, as science keeps approaching that planet as if it is our saving grace when we thoroughly destroy this one. In my mind that comes with one huge caveat that no one cares to discuss. That being, the huge assumption that whatever power put us here in the first place would even allow us to move on to a second planet to destroy. Do you think we have somehow earned the right dispose of one of the most gorgeous planets in our galaxy just so we can repeat the same lifestyle decisions that destroyed our first home? I can think of no greater delusion. Don’t for one minute think that E.T.s are going to land and save us either. It is not their job to save us, it is ours. That is why we have a brain and a body to do its bidding. If E.T.s have to come to save us then I can assure you they come here to control us, for it would be obvious that we do not have the will to save ourselves.
We must stop externalizing the problems. They exist within us. Blaming another is diverting the focus from your issue to another so that you can be concerned with what they aren’t doing right without looking at what you aren’t doing right. We must be culpable to our actions. We must question our beliefs, attachments, and identifications. Most people never question where these things have come from or why they are in their head, they just act on them, and blame another when the desired outcome is not attained. Our political system is exactly this process. I care not who is in the White House. They and their personality, decisions, actions, boasting etc. is symptomatic of our collective denial. What denial you say? We elect (supposedly) people who lie through their teeth to get you to vote for them so that we can delegate to them our power to, and our responsibility to, act in our best interests, which includes protecting our only home. It has been painfully obvious for the last 240 plus years that the elected are incapable and unwilling to do so. There are many reasons for this which I will not go into now for that discusssion would be a distraction from the issue at hand. I quote and I wish I knew who to give credit to for this:
The world is in terrible shape
Millions of people have prayed
GOD heard those prayers
She sent help
SHE SENT YOU!
You cannot do any more than add to the chaos until you start to truly know yourself, not who you think you are or are sure you are. Those are mental constructs to get you to believe you are doing good in the world. So that you can boast about being a good person, for your ego wouldn’t let you believe anything negative or painful about yourself. Its job is to keep you fat, dumb, and happy. That’s how it stays in control. That’s how it keeps a lid on the unconscious. It deludes you as to what is there, if you are even aware things are hiding there. When someone truly knows aspects of themselves they wear it like a good fitting suit. There is no necessity on their part to proclaim that knowledge to the world because it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that they live from that knowledge. There is no necessity to convince anyone what they are. It is palpable to anyone around. This is what happens when you start to clean out the rubbish and lies in the unconscious.
The point is this: it is not what happens to you here that matters, it is what you do with what happens to you that does matter. What happened was the impetus for growth but that can be negative or positive growth. I use positive and negative not as judgements but as a delineation in how the action affects the being on a path of growth. Positive moves the being more towards loving kindness and compassion and negative tends to repeat the same lesson again. Now, if our unconscious is full of programming and directives that we know nothing about, it is very difficult to not repeat lessons over ad infinitum.
There is a little understood phenomenon I want to explain. When we do work on ourselves and we undo the unconscious programming, beliefs, etc. and we actually institute changes in our lives because we see that it is in our best interest to do so and that it also benefits others. We have become different. The first change you make, because you realize you don’t like how you were acting, actually changes you on an energy level. You vibrate differently and because of this, the planet, GOD, creation, the universe, the multiverse, whatever term makes you happy, now has to change to interact with you. Because you are now different. This is how powerful each individual is. This is how one person can and does change the world. Atrocities committed by individuals or groups upon others in vain attempts to impose their will on others doesn’t change the world. They are symptoms of the problem and their actions though damaging didn’t change the course of the world but temporarily. Soon enough things go back to the way they were because we are comfortable with the way things were. The outer world is the reflection of our inner unconscious world and if you don’t like its trajectory then you best change yours. You see, by my reckoning , we have 31 years to save this planet. The perfect storm is brewing. There are many different timelines that will converge around that time. Some will arrive sooner in that their outcomes will become irreversible sooner than others. There is a huge mass of energy called denial that has been gathering for hundreds of years. Energy doesn’t just sit around doing nothing, it creates. I assure you, what this is creating will not make anyone happy. The really stupid thing is, its totally fixable. Do you have the moral courage required to save your children or their home? This is why we need to take care of our own internal landscape, this is why we need to do the work. If you believe scientists will miraculously find a way to save us, you are living a delusional fantasy. They are humans as well. They have their own beliefs and prejudices and operate from them as well and if they haven’t done the unconscious work they are in no better position to save us than you are.
I hope for the sake of Sophia Gaia, and humankind at large you understand what I’m saying.
