Last night I went to a movie presentation of The Post at University of Houston. A couple of UH professors moderated a discussion after the film.
One participant raised the point that at the time of the Vietnam war, the exposure of the Pentagon papers and the misuse of power was tearing the fabric of our nation, and this is what sparked so much protest.
Today, the fabric has been ripped to pieces, and exposure of lies and misuse of power is the norm. We have become complacent to the corruption in our governments, corporations and media.
—
Most people do not trust the government and do not know what to think of news, yet we’ve accepted that there’s not much we can do about it.
This is often what we do in our personal lives too. When we are young and we experience pain, it tears at our fabric. By the time we reach adulthood, we’ve experienced so much personal pain that we are covered in scar tissue.
We have buried so much inside ourselves, and we keep marching forward, or limping forward…
• complacent to the lives we’ve created for ourselves,
• believing there’s not much we can do about it now,
• believing our past has made us who we are and has defined the lives we are meant to live.
Yet, your past does not make you who you are today. It merely defines the path you will travel to find yourself now.
I believe we are all hard-wired to find the truth inside ourselves. We’ve come from a pure spirit that knows unconditional love, and we are meant to find a connection to that love inside ourselves.
If you stop with anything short of knowing the pure love inside of you, you’ve sold yourself short.
Where have you become complacent in your life? What have you accepted as a part of your life that is keeping you from feeling love and living joy?
In today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, we will bring healing to the parts of ourselves that have become complacent and help to open our hearts to greater love and joy. Scroll down for recording…
