Hi Steven, Just now finding these in my (massive) mail box. Good points made here. We all need to take responsibility for our government, environment, life, etc. the moment we take ourselves out of the equation, we allow other factors & people to be cause. Meanwhile, WE CAN do something about the situations around us that we don't like. Instead of resisting, I like the Walt Disney idea of dreaming up a better, more workable, universe where people would rather go. This works better than arguing over how to resolve current situations. Meanwhile, I think if one interviewed everybody on both sides of our political issues, most want the same basic things. They only argue about the best way to get there.
I agree 100 perceent that most of us want the same things and the "arguments" are about how to achieve them. One of the habits we will break as conscious politics practitioners is falling into the trap of the arguing while doing precisely what you say: dreaming up the better, more workable ways. Thanks for dropping your comments here. :)
Amazing what changing one little word can do. I may be one of those few people who does, most days, take responsibility for the government we have (and that I wish we'd have) and...I often indeed use "the" instead of "ours." That is changing as of now. Thanks, my friend, as always!!
This was great. One of the Unitarian Universalist principals is "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." I am also fascinating with the entanglement theory, that we are connected on a molecular level.
I love that! "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." This exact idea is embedded in one of our concepts: we belong to the planet, not the planet to us. It means that our human nature is like the planet's nature and the planet's nature is to thrive on webs of interdependence. That's why endeavoring to "inter-depend" in our works is a new consciousness way of being while isolating and striving for utter independence, as humans, is an old consciousness way of being. As for being connected on a molecular level, I'm fascinated too! :)
Love this! Love every word of it! Keep feeding the souls of America!
That's all the encouragement I need. Much appreciated.

Yep... nobody wins a war, eh? But we can always create a better Disney Land! More FUN to do that too!
