An energy Look at Activism

Bad energy! There was a point when I just had it with the stalemate and the Republican party.  Democrats were not looking better to me. After the election I had a vision that showed me how in wishing to "take down" the offending parties,  I had bought into a movement that was actually weakening the government, resulting in current leadership problems rather than in  diverse and humanitarian leadership.

I was able to pull my energy out of that negative group vortex. And its reminded me of  an ongoing look at the big picture energy behind how things happen on the planet. Vision is key to creating what we want for the future. What vision do we hold, and how do we see ourselves in that vision?

 Better energy! The truth is that at any given time there are people of all levels and beliefs on the planet. Sometimes we get all caught up in the struggles and give our power away (through violence and hate, and sometimes even through protest and opposition. We fail to see that we are all exploring truth and reality. When we accept the differences as part of the amazing diversity of culture, and of thought, then we can see more clearly where to put our own creative energy without needing to be in opposition to one another. Its a bit of an idealist rant, but there is power in recognizing our part in the duality quagmire.

I love that activists take responsibility for the health of the  earth and people and animals. It may not be all their problem, but we all live our lives in the resulting environment. We know there are consequences to our thoughts and actions. however, sometimes we don't realize we are putting our energy into the very thing we are protesting, just by protesting. In a way protest is owning that there is a problem, Resistance is a step towards recognizing and owning our part in the creation our experience. When we own our energy, we show up,  we heal, release and create  new ways of responding to old patterns.

It is those who are creating alternatives who are my hero's. When problems are recognized as challenges and  lead to creative insight and ultimately to sustainable solutions. The earth is changing into a new  pattern or energy matrix that supports and amplifies positive change. We harness great power when work in alignment with the earth's purpose of BALANCE. We find ways to harvest water from air,  we use plants to clean waterways we create alternative energy vehicles, we change our community, and shelter everyone in a safety  and harmony, with love for all. When we see challenges or problems, and own them, Then we can  create a vision and walk into that vision, aligned with our creative potential. This is when we own our power.
