I was working at the Hurley Pro at Lower Trestles yesterday when one of the surfers dropped by to share his thoughts on the economy, the instability of the US dollar and our government. For obvious reasons I cannot identify the individual who made the comment, but hopefully it will still be meaningful without the name dropping!
"Our country is headed for anarchy. It's going to be those who are aware going head-to-head with those who are not aware." It's taken me a while to digest the complexity of this statement! First is the declaration of impending anarchy. At first glance it seems ludicrous, but then the more I reflected the more accurate it seems. The definition of anarchy is a state of lawless or political disorder due to a lack of government authority. In my opinion, our government has already given up control to the lobbyists and big corporations.
While I may agree that there is the potential for conflict between those who are are on a conscious path and those who are still basing decisions on what's best for them as individuals rather than what is best for the whole, I'd like to think there is still an opportunity to spread the Light. Rather than focus on conflict we can view this as an opening to educate. Rather than becoming defensive and insisting we are in the right, we can embrace those with differing views with compassion.
It is my desire to raise the vibration of those I come into contact with which in turn will raise the vibration of the planet. In order to this I can't "go head-to-head". To raise the vibration I must act with love and gratitude for all! As my friend and mentor Kent gently reminds me, "We cannot force people to make different choices. All we can do is support them on their path and send them love."
