"Windows"
IT'S TIME
When the newly elected mayor of a capital city says,
"...But no, I'm not talking about trying to absolutely fix it. I think that's the aspiration..." *
in response to a question about solving the issue we call homelessness,
he demonstrates that it's time to infuse higher consciousness into the equation.
Because there's a difference between an aspiration and an intention.
When we, the people, believe that the issue we call homelessness is intractable and will never be
solved or that war is inevitable or that we can't fight city hall peace is impossible or that it doesn't matter
what I say or that government is the problem or that voting doesn't matter,
or that there's not enough money or that "it's not my responsibility"
it demonstrates that it's time to infuse higher consciousness into the equation.
Because beliefs like these really matter and, for the record, who does the work when the client is society itself? (Hint: You're Lookin' at 'Em)
When hard-working staffers of NGOs and non-profits and the like
working on issues from world hunger to environmental protection to mass incarceration
become exhausted and demoralized at work because of the
difficult politics within their organizations,
they demonstrate that it's time to infuse higher consciousness into the equation.
Because it clogs up the works when our individual and group energy doesn't match the energy of our goals.
When everyday citizens and activist who are angry and fearful and defensive
"Arizona Cactus II"
-- which they have every right to be --
make choices and decisions out of anger and fear
and when they talk in terms of fight and protest and defense,
they demonstrate that it's time to infuse higher consciousness into the equation.
Because anger and rage and fear only produce more anger and rage and fear (and because anger has far more useful benefits).
When executives and staffers and volunteers of non-profit and social service agencies
-- not to mention government employees at any level --
lament the dearth of funding for their projects,
they demonstrate that it's time to infuse higher consciousness into the equation.
Because beliefs like "there's not enough" ensures that there's not enough.
YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON DOING GOOD WORK.
You are -- we all are -- good, open-hearted, dedicated, caring, compassionate, well-intended people.
By no means is that even remotely a question nor is it the issue.
We are just not yet schooled in the importance of clarity when it comes to
how we invest our thinking energy.
Through no fault of our own, we tend to focus far too much energy on the problems.
And we are not aware of some of the pitfalls of "taking action."
The Consciousness Company is launching in 2018.
Because it's time.
LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW TO TAKE YOUR VERY GOOD WORK TO EVER GREATER HEIGHTS.
"Desert Fossils"
The examples listed above point to the kinds of ways in which
everyday higher consciousness can -- and should -- be employed
to move us much closer to creating what we all want: a world that works for everyone.
Regardless of who you are or where you work,
if you are a candidate for office, an office holder or a staffer,
if you are running a campaign of any kind,
if you are an activist,
if you are a non-profit or an NGO or a foundation working on these kinds of issues,
please introduce your Self and let's talk about how to make the most of your valuable time and
formidable energy.
