Many politicians and others are saying that this is the time to “fight,” to stand up for what we believe in by fighting back in a caustic, intolerant and aggressive manner.
I personally feel this is exactly the wrong thing to do.
During our conscious journey, the answer is always the same—to “be the change we wish to see in the world.”
I know many feel the peaceful solution is soft and weak, but I believe this is the furthest thing from the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “Peace is the most powerful weapon of mankind,” and he demonstrated this with his life lived, and India became an independent nation in the process.
So, perhaps, rather than standing to “fight,” we would be wise instead to breathe, connect with perennial wisdom, and reconnect with the compassionate, connective and creative expression of our humanness.
In doing so, we can more fully grasp the implications of that connection, giving each of us access to the power of the Universe itself to manifest the positive expressions we are inspired to create in our own lives and in the lives of others.
Let’s not stand and fight. Let’s transmute the negative energy around us and bless one another and the whole world instead.
With love and in service,
Steve
