A Message to the People of Planet Earth

I have spent the last 7 years of my life on a quest. A quest to ask some really big questions about myself, life, this world, the universe, and existence. A quest for truth. I came to the realization that if one abandons all identification with their beliefs and viewpoints (which are all simply stories – perceptual spectacles – with which we perceive reality) and cultivates an attitude of critical, open minded thinking – then one would be able to uncover truth through asking questions. That is the greatest thing about truth – it will always stand up to questioning. On a long enough time window, truth always outlasts lies.

I am confident in saying that anyone else who has began this path of self-discovery would agree with the observation: The more I learn the less I know. I believe this is a true statement because when one embarks on a quest for truth, one begins to question all of one’s beliefs, and as lies begin to be left behind, the truth shines out even brighter. I believe the truth is so beautifully simple that one realizes that with truth, one no longer needs to hold onto the lies. Lately, I find it becoming more and more difficult for me to speak about anything other than my truth.

So what is my truth?

If I could distill my truth into one message that I could send out to every single human being on this planet it would be this: You are powerful.

When I share my dreams of what the world could look like, or I talk about the areas of concern in our current systems, I so often get the response: That’s just the way it is. That would be nice, but that’s not the way it works. I know people, it just won’t happen.

I believe that there are many reasons for people responding to me with any of those lines. Responses like that would come from people who feel powerless. I’m not making any judgments, nor am I intending any negative energy with this, I am doing my absolute best to work with love. That is why my message would be: You are powerful.

The only reason things are the way they are is because WE ALL made agreements to make it that way. The reason I am not upset, frustrated or angry is because I also recognize that this is the first time in our known history when change is no longer a reaction being driven by events, but is instead being guided by consciousness. The idea of examining our current systems, making adjustments or changes to continually improve, and creating new stories is an extremely novel idea.

We have been told all our lives that we are too ugly, too fat, too skinny, too this or that. We have been told that casting a single vote every 4 years gives us input into how things are run. We have been told that we are helpless, powerless, evil, different, alone, incomplete, and sad. We have been told that the best way to feel better is to go and BUY something. We have been told that we are bad people, that our thoughts are bad. We have been told that everyone else’s life is ‘good’ and made to feel like we are the only one feeling down, feeling lonely, feeling different. We have been told to suck it up and bottle up your emotions. We have been told that this is just the way things are.

I am here to tell you that you are NONE of those things. You are BEAUTIFUL. You are LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE. You are CREATIVE. You are a GENIUS. You are so incredibly UNIQUE, VALUABLE, AWESOME, and MOST IMPORTANTLY COMPLETE!!!! You have COURAGE. You have AMAZING IDEAS! You want to LOVE AND BE LOVED. THE WORLD IS NOT A DANGEROUS PLACE AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!

Let me illustrate a couple of examples as to what I am getting at. <3 We start with a couple things we can all agree on.

1. Can we all agree on good health?

I really doubt that anyone wants to feel sick or be riddled with disease. I also really doubt that deep down anyone wishes disease on another (perpetuation of disease doesn’t work in anyone’s favor!). When we agree on something like that, I then propose some more questions – why is the pharmaceutical industry the most profitable (profit = sales – expenses) industry? Why are there two pharmaceutical lobbyists per member of congress in the United States? Does it make sense to have the profit motive (supposedly the only motivation for people *eye roll*) directly tied to keeping people sick? Why is availability of proper, high quality medical care not entirely, and completely universally free for all human beings? Why are people still dying on this planet from diseases that have cures that cost pennies to make? Why is a friend’s cancer treatment ‘not covered’ because it is ‘too rare’? Is there a way to create an abundance of health for every human being on planet Earth? Would you support such a system?

2. Does anyone out there want to be a financial failure? Is there someone who wakes up in the morning and says, “I can’t wait to be bankrupt!”?

I really doubt that anyone who begins their personal path of financial abundance starts out with that statement. Why then, do we operate with a financial system that guarantees bankruptcies? Why have we constructed a game of money musical chairs that always leaves people behind? {If this is news to you, I highly recommend some research into the way the money system works – it’s related to our use of interest (better called usury) and how the amount of money owed back is always more than the actual amount of money in circulation} Is there a way to structure our story of money so that it is always flowing to those who need it the most, rather than pool and stagnate in larger and larger bank accounts? Can we design our financial system in a way that provides the basic needs of healthy food, clean water, warm clothing, adequate shelter, and exploratory education for all people of this Earth? Would you promote such a system?

We hold the solutions to make these dreams come true. There are incredible solutions to all of the obstacles we face. It’s time for humanity to drop our fears, to drop our identifications with emergent knowledge, to openly and critically examine what we are doing and to make creative changes for the betterment of all. We have the power. We have the courage. We can do and be anything we want. I believe in you. I believe in the human family.

If you are interested in connecting with me to share experiences I would love to hear from you and hear your ideas. You are AMAZING!!!! I love you with all my heart!
