Think Inner and act Outer...what is out there is in here...

For most of us the words Love, Empathy and Compassion has become blase just words with no depth to meaning. Just as the word God or the Divine or the feeling of awesomeness or the sense of wonder. In our day to day pursuit of livelihood we have become jaded to the virtues of what it means to love, to empathize or to feel compassionate towards one another, towards humanity itself or even the planet that we live in, these words rarely comes from our hearts. It seems to me that as we become more 'civilized' we become less sensitive and caring about what it is to be human, conversely we have become more and more crass and inhuman towards our fellow creatures. Perhaps this is what is the decadence of our society the path that is leading us towards our own demise, the end of our days as in the Biblical sense, For decades if not longer man has lived at odds with one another, for reasons that sometimes defies our intelligence, like color and creed, religions and border expansions, we still exist like our forefathers with tribal mentality.

Atrocities committed by man towards his fellow man has become pandemic and it has spread beyond just territorial and religious conflicts, it has now involve heinous to satisfy inhuman cravings such as pedophilia and human trafficking. Our human nature has no doubt taken a turn for the worse making us often times the worse of God's creatures on earth. Some of us blames it on the fact that we have more and more irreligious having no fear of God's or karmic retributions; we are not answerable o our actions in the afterlife as science and atheism is proving more and so that there is no afterlife; once you are dead it all over with. There are others who blames it on drugs and greed or whatever else that modern man is afflicted with in this our modern day. Whatever the reason, it is a sad state that we are in and our educational system is failing to address as science and technology takes precedence over spiritual and humanities in schools. This pandemic is spreading ravenously across the globe like a cancerous virus. Most of humanity has chosen to live in denial of this conundrum being comfortably numb of its effects on our lives; just so long as it does not happen to me or my family, it is of no consequence and a waste of time to dwell upon.

To put it mildly, we are digging our own graves while lying to ourselves that all is well or as it should be. Perhaps it is and there is not much that can be done as we have passed the point of no return in our journey as a specie on its path towards self annihilation. However there are those who still cling positively to the hope that we can do something about it. it may be a long haul to undo most of what has been done to get us into this negative state of existence, but human intelligence and spiritual wisdom still has its potential to heal humanity and turn our destiny from destructive to a more creative mode. It is a battle of good over evil, light over darkness as the ancients would have warned us and it is for us as a Collective Spirit to prevail or perish; the choice is still yours and mine. Hence it is imperative that we make the right choice in order that we may preserve whatever is left of our so called humanity, if not for us,for our children and theirs. To attain knowledge with right understanding is paramount to our salvation in this day and age and understanding our human nature is critical to the equation; only through right understanding of who or what our true nature is can we become a force of healing ourselves as a whole.

Without the thorough understanding of who we truly are we are merely drifting in this realm of existence, we are like a cork being carried here and there at the will of the external elements, just another flotsam drifting along with no identity or even a personality to relate to; we become grist for the mill. The battles we fight is not out there but within us, we are victims of our own ignorance and desires. We fail to realize our interdependence and interrelationship with one another, that taking care of number one alone is never enough. We need to realize fully that our existence is a collective existence and the more we live in servitude towards our fellow man the stronger we become collectively and this is not rocket science to realize.
