IDEA - Name for a new World Cup Soccer team:
HUMANITY UNITED
Recently, I had a "what if" idea and question moment that if we had only one flag for the entire world instead of many different flags for every country in the world, what effect could that have on helping us move towards world peace?
How has difference being viewed through a mental framework of FEAR contributed to disunity and prejudice in our world?
The main topics I'm going to discuss in this article are LOVE and FEAR or soulful/spiritual living Vs ego/mind based/primitive living.
I'll start with 1) INTENT (idea/thought/goal from LOVE or FEAR) and 2) ACTION (steps taken from INTENT of LOVE or FEAR) to realise and manifest an idea/thought or goal into life.
What an incredible example of UNITY (coming from a place of LOVE through INTENT and ACTIONS) we got to witness in the AFL recently following the tragic death of Phil Walsh. The teams forming a circle around the centre square, arm-in-arm to pay tribute and remember the life of Phil. Teams that just minutes before were competing against one another for 4 points in the round now becoming ONE. This is obviously a very public example of this but you can find more in everyday living in families, communities, workplaces, etc. Basically, anyone and everyone can be and do things heroic and with great dignity and respect in nature..
I'm currently reading a book by author Neale Donald Walsch (well known for his books, Conversations with God) called Communion with God. It talks about ONENESS in humanity and how, in my own interpretation, there are mind-made illusions that we live with that come from a place of FEAR basically and how we can transcend them towards living more in the TRUTH of our creation: from our SOUL/SPIRIT.
It's the kind of book that gets me thinking. What is possible for humanity in terms of really, really....reaching a state of sustainable PEACE?
We look up Jesus Christ, Krishna, etc as shining human examples of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. It's said that they were highly evolved human beings. I believe this to be true. I'm just now starting to learn through reading the Communion with God and other teachings that these people were human. Just like you and me, in a word: EQUAL. They had a body, like you and me. A mind, like you and me and, a soul. Like you and me. From this perspective, they can be viewed not as SPECIAL or BETTER as we can do from FEAR instead, from LOVE (in a 'that which them is also us' way).
Hierarchies from a mind-made, FEARFUL place can end up destructive. Power struggles, control, manipulation, etc can be manifested. I believe being on a level playing field EQUAL that is in TRUTH: LOVING - being and behaving in respectful, kind and compassionate ways can help in solving problems that are created in relation to hierarchies in every facet be it in families, workplaces, governments, sports, churches, social groups, celebrities, everywhere and anywhere. The term "putting someone on a pedestal" comes to mind to sum this paragraph up.
Domestic violence has been in the news headlines often lately. Awareness and education are great ways for us to learn and make helpful change in life. I think we need to be careful not to get into "gender bashing" having INTENT and ACTIONS that come from a place of FEAR or we may delay progress in RESOLVING = EVOLVING through this problem. Both genders are EQUALLY involved it's a HUMAN issue and getting through the problem with LOVE can serve us all more effectively to deal with domestic violence or any problem we encounter as humans for that matter.
If we asked wealthy philanthropists such as the Warren Buffett's or Bill Gates of the world, is there enough food, money, shelter/housing to go around in this world? I'm pretty certain their answer would be yes. Why else would they give so much of there energy, time and money to those in poverty?
This is an example of working through a WORLD PROBLEM (what affects some people, in essence, effects us all) from a place of LOVE.
Funny, even a little ironic maybe. The Dr. Phil show is on TV and the topic is about someone apparently being scammed of money online by someone else disguising themselves to have the INTENTION of LOVE but of actually being from FEAR. The person on the show out with an INTENT to find LOVE was scammed. An example of how we hurt ourselves and each other through FEARFUL INTENT AND ACTIONS in this world.
Collectively, as humans, the challenges we face relating to money, relationships and s*x, power, etc relate to the lower main three chakras (base, sacral and solar plexus chakras) involve mainly our HUMAN/primitive self. If these are unbalanced for whatever reason/s and our INTENT and ACTIONS are motivated by FEAR the outcomes for ourselves and others is likely to be unhelpful and destructive. Our upper four main chakras are mainly based on our SOUL/SPIRIT self.
Chakra balancing and healing, in my experience, is very, very.....powerful in a different way to your general meditation practice (psychic mediums and others who have practiced this I think would agree). So I recommend learning from someone who has specialised knowledge and expertise with chakras. There are many books, cds/audios, DVDs, workshops, therapists/healers who can guide you through chakra balancing and other energetic healing modals like reiki, etc.
I'm a STUDENT OF LIFE, like everyone else walking this planet. Learning while making errors and dealing with problems like everyone else. TEACHERS and MASTERS in their chosen fields have acquired KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE = APPLIED/USED KNOWLEDGE over time and are also STUDENTS still. The TEACHERS and MASTERS teach the STUDENTS and vice-versa.
Think we forget too easily all the things we have in COMMON how on a deep, SOUL/SPIRIT level we are all the same and get lost and focus on the DIFFERENCES the vehicles our SOULS/SPIRITS operate as humans in (appearance, financial, gender, religions, skin colour, etc).
To me, LOVE in INTENT and ACTION is the answer to the world's problems. The awesome thing is, it's FREE and unlike the petrol in a car, it never runs out...............................................
We don't have to wait for the government to change legislation or policies or provide funding towards something to support. For the wars to end over the world or for everyone in the world to have food and shelter or the professional footballers to show us how to stand UNITED and BE LOVING. We all INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY have the power to BE LOVING right...now....
If I was granted the power to make any decision or change the world over it would be for LOVE to BE the way of humanity and last forever in the absence of FEAR.
What a world that would be.......................................................................................................
In closing, my vision for the HUMANITY UNITED flag would be a picture of the world or the "globe" with a white or green background (colour of LOVE - HEART CHAKRA).
