The problem everywhere
nowadays turns on how we shall decide to live. Neither the government leaders
nor the demographers have been able to supply an answer to the question, How

Have you decided how to live?
What are your moral values and obligations?
Can you clearly state them, so others can understand what your conscience is based upon?
Do you still expect some one else to do this for you?
Will some charismatic leader, some savoir or a rescuer come along or will you grow up??
It is obvious, to anyone who listens to the news, that democratically elected governments and market economies are not functioning properly...
When do you plan to do something about this?
How much more will we take, before each of us accepts our obligation to stand up for ourselves?
We need a code of honor we can live by. We need a code of honor others can share.
Or else we must continue swallowing lies and collaborating with corrupt leaders and unsustainable systems.
The choice is yours.

Let's see what happens when we decide to live by the Laws of the Universe, consciously and conscientiously, together for a year.
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll never go backwards to the non-working ways!
It was wonderful to see everyone last night. Just walking into all of that vibrant, supportive energy gives me a chance to re-set, to set aside habitual ways of thinking and look at things a bit differently, to breathe. And when I return to my life it feels lighter, less reactive, BALANCED, even if just for a little while.
ReplyDeleteThanks always for bringing your Divine Being and Beauty to our circle Catherine! ;-)
DeleteWow! I am going through this on a personal and professional level now..speaking up is not easy to do. Always second-guessing...
ReplyDeleteLovely Alana,
DeleteGlad to be resonating with where you're at, and what you're doing!
The Wheel & the Laws have helped me not make everything strictly 'personal' when speaking up.
Hope you can use them to good effect.
That's what the Wisdom Wheel & the Universal Laws are for.
We are not alone as we speak up!
Hugs to you.
