When I was coming of age as an adult I felt as if the world
was full of deceit, hypocrisy and selfishness.
This was a shocking revelation to me. When I looked at adults and they were
behaving badly, I wanted to hide, curl up and never participate their corrupt world.
I called out for someone sane to show up in my life.
This worked! It took effect very quickly.
People started showing up in my life who were sane, decent, kind and wise.
One man appeared, a Native American Medicine man,
Rolling Thunder
He came into my Health Food restaurant and sniffed around
like a wolf
(that is a story I will tell someday and have been working on my book for many years)
He gave an eight hour lecture in Atlanta Georgia, and soothed all of us who were in attendance.
I don't feel alone anymore. I know you can call out for help and help will arrive.
If I pay attention I find people everyday that are living with integrity, I think most people
do try to live their lives doing the right things. Nothing happens out of pure coincidence we
attract what we believe. I quit watching all the bad news and started believing there were sane, wise and decent people in the world. Now they show up all the time and I feel better, in fact I am leading a pretty interesting life.
So in conclusion, don't buy into a bad attitude about what is happening around you.
Look for the better view, ask to meet the ones that will help you, they are there and they might
even show up as a wolf, or Medicine man, or teacher, or...
YES--Never thought about invoking personifications of wholeness--what a great tip.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the big challange that faces us as individuals and as a species is to realize that we are not alone or separate but that we are emeshed in this universe in a meaning ful and loving way.
