The Next Big Thing

 

 

 

A quote from The Sane Society by Erich Fromm:

“That millions of people share the same forms of

mental pathology does not make these people sane.”

 

 

As many of you are aware by now, I am Christian, plus I am a mind & body + behavioural study enthusiast.  I say enthusiast because my interest was born out of curiosity, then circumstance and it would appear that I was gifted with the gift of "connecting the dots".  I have no training in these matters, I read, I listen to "experts"  and seek to understand.

I believe all of humanity mourn for the lives lost in the  recent mass shooting in Orlando Florida.  We grieve for the injured, we grieve for the families who are lost and looking for answers.  Since before 9/11 I started reading the scriptures defining and relating to love and relationships.  I was seeking to heal myself, but I was also seeking to understand for others because I come across so many hurting people. 

I have learned a lot, boy have I ever.  So today as I always do, I scanned my social media accounts to find out what is trending clicked on a few articles about the Orlando shootings.  The response or reaction of the Republican nominee for President did not surprise me, but what has got me thinking is the amount of vitriol  that is being spewed about.  This did not just happen overnight.  The intense anger and bitterness have been simmering for a very long time.  I think the pot has now boiled over.  Once it has boiled over, what has come out cant put it back in the pot, something has to be done.

There are many very gifted preachers, teachers and speakers doing what they were called to do.  Articles, books, television shows are written and produced on the subject of sin, and the devastating effect of what is referred to as the "7 Deadly Sins".  As a matter of fact, if my memory serves me right, The Toronto Star published quite an interesting series with this heading several years ago.  The problem is, hurt people hurt people.  Victims begets victims.  Most people who are suffering are not even aware that they do not have to be that way, it is their normal.  They have accepted their state as their fate.

Now that we know where society is and what is ailing it, how can it be fixed?  Certainly not by the prescription of "The Donald", I don't think so.  The prescription is LOVE.  LOVE according to the new commandment "Love your neighbour as God has loved you".  We are not called to judge but to love. Can you imagine that kind of love?  It's easy to say, but how can we teach people to love?

That brings me to the next big thing.  This will not be robots, or missions to some as yet to be discovered planet.  The next big thing will be workers in the field, to use a bible expression, facilitating healing humans of the severe disease of bitterness, anger and hate, one person at a time. Once healing start to take place the heart will be open to love, real love.  As more people become healed there will be planetary consciousness, just like the use of the telephone.

Do you feel the call?  Are you up to the task?  If you feel you are called and you are ready, get busy.  If you are not ready, get the ball rolling, there is lots to do.  God will intervene, through humans of course. 

A lot more to come on this post but for the time being I felt compelled to put this out there.  As the 70's fad goes, "all we need it love" and at no time in my lifetime this is more evident than now.

Love, Love, Love
