Change is Remembrance
For all the souls who've perished at the hands of those who've forgotten
How many times will humanity have to repeat the same mistakes before true change is instigated?
Not a change of policy, not a change of parties, not a change of ideologies nor ideas.
A change of disposition. A fundamental shift in the way we see and interact with the world and with how we perceive our place within it.
Not an Earth there to be exploited but to be guarded.
Not another brother or sister to be ruled over nor another woman or child to be mercilessly swept aside but to love all, truly cherish all and see all as one’s own-self.
People looking for the answers outside of themselves will never find the solutions to these problems. They are enslaved to forever keep making the same mistakes.
What’s required is a a full blown awakening in which the old paradigms of mind and of society’s conditions are totally obliterated. The recoil of such torrid times delivering an awakening so drastic that from here on in I can never revert to a ‘me’ and ‘you’, only a commitment to ‘us’ and ‘we’.
The revelation of our true being is around the corner.
To love.
First, to fully love one’s-self without the persuasion that society and education has layered upon you. To see that your perfection lies in the very fact of you being alive and an integral part of this grand design.
Secondly, to then love the neighbour without any hesitation, without any need nor concern whether their beliefs or ideas confirm to yours or not. To absolutely love them because they too are appearing in this grand architecture of creation.
To love them as their essence fills this body of sheer complexity, miraculously alive after aeons of interacting with an ecology of life forms coming into being and out of being.
In this space, what has been called One Taste, you are free to love the entire world, to marvel that your existence is based on all the unseen forces: the plant life breathing life into you, the sun infusing your vitality, the bacteria, fungi, microbes & cellular life that are conspiring symbiotically together to produce a complex being we call a Human Being. An ecosystem all unto itself is You.
Once the personal, interpersonal and intra-personal are united in communion, true love is known and with true love comes deep knowledge.
Not of an intellectual nature but of an existential nature. That your reason for being here is revealed. And when that happens there is no peace to be made, no healing to be undertaken and no necessity to extend a hand to another, for you see that you are all fingers on the hands of a gigantic and incomprehensible organism that is beyond the limitations of a human mind.
This is the change that is coming, for each and everyone of us.
The change is a birthing and birthing is savage, wild and uncomfortable but the life that is gifted as a result is an unfathomable event. The birthing process, it stuns our rationality, leaving nothing to do but bow down in humility to the divine, crying tears of ecstatic love.
Saying: I remember where I came from and what I’m here to do.
Change is remembrance.
