This gulf oil spill, its quite an activating event! I’m discovering some pretty powerful gifts its giving me…
I love presenting a point of view that advocates staying in love rather than fear or anger. This stance has elicited a lot of responses! (How dare I send love to the perpetrators!)
Someone just sent me a video of a remote tribe in India whose God, a sacred mountain, is about to be bulldozed by an international company for its minerals… More proof of how greedy ‘they’ are…
I started watching, felt a surge of righteous indignation well up from with me, as big as that mountain! Those damn corporations!
Then I remember (again) that there is no ‘other’… the greed out there reflects the greed within me. Instead of judging and condemning them, I turn to the greed and fear within myself…
What is greed other than the fear of not enough?
As I turn within, as I shift my attention from ‘out there’ to ‘in here’, I immediately feel myself start to soften…
I hold the greed and anger and fear as I held my own son when he was upset and angry, when he was sad and scared… I hold this part of me with gentleness and compassion, and feel an upwelling of love, waves of love from a greater place within…
There is no ‘other’… the corporations, the greed and anger and fear, its all ours… In owning it as ours, we can heal it.
Thank you for reflecting the vast magical array of our humanness to me!
In Love,
Joe
