Is humanity doomed?
'The Mayan Calendar' is a misnomer. Nothing is going to happen at the end of what I call the Calendar of Creation, which is a timeline of the evolution of consciousness. It simply marks the end of a process that we're living through right now. Yet I know that a bright light is about to shine forth and sweep the whole world, very quickly. It's nothing woowoo! It's the light inside each and every one of us that's aching to get out. A way of reaching into each others hearts and finding immense fulfilment by contributing to each others needs. It's here and its spreading rapidly. It's so simple, so powerful and so beautiful. Every single one of us has what's necessary to use it and make life wonderful for each other.
Making life wonderful... that's what it's all about. Recognising what's ALIVE in everyone of us moment-to-moment, which is our feelings, and the needs which create them. Negative feelings are created by unmet needs, and in a 'jackal' they are expressed violently (usually verbally, sometimes physically). As jackals we add interpretations and judgements to what we onserve and tend to criticise, blame and judge others morally.We also have a resistence to telling others what we need and want and what's important to us. As jackals we also manipulate people with punishment or reward to get them to behave as we want them to behave.
By seeking only to share our feelings and our needs, rather than our thoughts, we gain instant empathy and compassion. Once we know each other's feeling and needs we can work out a strategy for getting everyone's needs met. This leads to genuinely compassionate giving. It's certainly my opinion that there's nothing more fulfuling than contributing to eachothers well-being. This is being a 'giraffe'!
So keep focussing on what's ALIVE in you and others and help make life more wonderful.
