Our Connection
Posted by Gordon.Woolley placed in Writings
For all of those who think that the world today is a linier path of chaos, destruction and shadow I will tell you that it is just the universe returning us to our true nature. I see the heaven that is offered to me by the religions, race promoting organizations and the Hollywood celebrities who think that there words hold more weight than everyone else. I do not buy into your fantasies. Life and death are two things that you cannot manipulate, the only thing you can do is try to prolong one and shorten the other. It is a hollow attempt to control something that is out of control. Life is not something that is given to us it is something that we connect to, it binds us all to each other. Most fail to realize how useless it is to try to build an empire so the world will take notice. Everyone wants to be famous, to have money, to never work again, whatever the reason to strive for success is a complete lie. Why do you believe you must accomplish x, y and z to have what you need or want?
I have read a few times and heard it in a few movies that “The human race is a disease”. At first I did not understand until I internalized it. We are an existence in the human body, our actions are the disease. We consume, destroy, alter, embed and multiply in virtually the same way as any disease and virus in our present day. The original action that has lead us to where we are was Selfishness. “I need to take care of myself first” is either a though or a statement that begins the end. Selfishness is why we don’t help the guy sitting on the corner begging for money; it is also why that same guy does not want to work and wants you to support that. It is why we are indifferent to others beliefs, values and ideas.
When was the last time you saw a large population come together to better each other with no expectations of repayment? After a Natural Disaster? After an Act of Terrorism? Why can we do it after the fact and not before? It is because we are separated and no one is emotionally connected until it is too late. That is why you have so many organizations spanning the globe to all do the same thing and still nothing is resolved. Wouldn’t it be nice when you are hungry you could just eat instead of trying to balance your budget and figure out how much food you can actually get while still being able to pay the rest of your bills. Why can we not live in a house without worrying about what the housing market is doing and what my home is worth? Why can we not get medical attention without the population being adversely effected? I don’t know why it is so hard for people to give freely of themselves, I do and I put myself in worse conditions for it, still I do it. I would rather let another eat while I go hungry. I would rather let another prosper while I live in substandard conditions. And why is that? It is because I know that what we do here has no bearing on true life. I see us as connected and I know the truth so why should you suffer. If I can raise you up than it is done.
I laugh because people think they live a life. They work more hours than not, have their children taught and raised by Schools, Day Care, TV and Video Games. Their marriage is a joint agreement and when they feel that agreement is not reached they terminate it. And when it is terminated then a battle for possessions begins. That is not life, and how often does it happen? I sacrifice myself for my family; I have done it many of times. I have waged war in their names. I have broken my body to provide for them and I will defend them with my life. And when I no longer breathe I will surround them, because we do not live by an agreement we live by a bond of the spirit. That is why we are still together; we do not fight over money or possessions because none of it changes our life together. We would be the same with or without. That is life, that is love, that is peace and that is why we are still together.
I do not just sacrifice myself for my family but for all life. I am not concerned for my safety or well being because I know I will be provided for. I am not helpless I am empowered, I have made a difference and I do not seek any reward or recognition. You are enough for me to keep going. And if you are changed by the actions of another you become obligated to return the favor to another not to look in pity or disgust. If you have the power to make the difference for someone why would you not?
We are called the richest and most powerful country and still less than 1% fight for it, less than that gives freely. The lesson will be learned, for some it will be hard and for some it will kill them but it will be learned none the less. I hope it comes easier for you. I am by no means perfect. I have shadows that I fight. But we as a people should make the change and stand together for our common good, Indifferent to race, religion and beliefs for our bodies are of the earth and that is where it returns.
