A Spiritual Solution
to the Current World Problems

   

I am not a political person.

I consciously avoid even commenting on politics.

However, as a citizen of the United States and the world, it would be disingenuous to stand silent as I watch this great experiment fail.

The seeds of society’s problems have, unfortunately, been growing unchecked and unattended until they have reached a critical tipping point.  It is evident in my mind and heart that it is TIME TO TAKE A STAND and let our light shine.

It is time to ask yourself, “What do I stand for?“

Then it is time to consider what you are being called by your moral compass to do to make a stand.

I ask and invite you to turn first to your moral compass to consider this issue because I believe that deep within each of us, there is a certain sense of what is right and an equally clear sense of what is wrong.  And for me, as I begin my day with meditation and contemplation on what I can do to make this world a better place, I feel compelled to issue a call to action.

As I write these words, I freely acknowledge that taking a stand is never easy.  It is much easier to go along to get along.

STAND FOR TRUTH

Sadly, as the world has moved forward, values society has long held dear are being eroded.  Truth is under attack.  I say this not as a political statement but as a simple observation of the world as it is today.  If I consider how this happened, I see that as many problems, it was a gradual decay of compromises and acceptances of little lies, accepted because what society has required as acceptable behavior has given way.

The lack of Truth in advertising strikes me first.  The rise of the well-funded Super Packs, greedy Corporations and media/social spin (on the part of all political parties) has taken our society away from requiring TRUTH.

We have been torn down by the sheer volume of lies that we can’t keep up with.

We even have ways that a lie is excused as just a little white lie or an acceptable excuse for bending the truth.  Then, in the very recent past a very strange and new concept has made its way into the mainstream.  That is the concept of “Alternative Facts.”

I ask you what an alternative fact is? A lie? An illusion? A wish? A distortion of the Truth?

As a Spiritual writer, I often ask you to pause the noise of your life to tune in and listen to the wisdom of your Soul, to that inner sense of knowing that will always reveal the Truth.  Now, it is easy to ignore that inner voice.  It is much easier to believe something the media is saying (or our leaders) or something different from what your inner voice is telling you.

Being aware of your Higher Self (your Soul) may require acknowledging all of the little compromises you have made in your life that are not congruent with what you know, deep down, to be right.  It may require you to re-examine concepts that have gone out of fashion in our modern world. I believe the Truth is worth it.

STAND FOR HONOR

Unfortunately, the concept of Truth is not the only one that has been under assault.  There is “honor” that does not even seem to make it into the conversation in today’s world.  The morality codes that we all learned as children, ways of guiding human behavior that go back in time to the known beginnings of time, such as the Golden Rule, have been ignored.

It is not that we don’t still know these codes; it is that morality seems to be vacationing in a world where right is compromised for convenience.  This has led us to a society and an almost unbelievable world.

The United States, which had long been seen as the shining example to Truth, is now being led by a man in 2020 who has, in his leadership, told over 20,055+ well-documented false or misleading claims and mostly only thinks of himself. Yet, many of us repeat and spout his lies (because we have been financially enriched) as if Truth is not real but rather something of political opinion.  It is as if him saying a lie will somehow make it real.  I point this out not as a statement of politics but as a call of consciousness to the people of the world.

Right is still right and wrong is still wrong.  How we treat one another matters.  We are each responsible for what we do and how we treat our planet.
                         – Genevieve Gerard

It is an inconvenient truth that harming others ultimately harms you.  No matter how many excuses you may make for yourself to justify acting against what you know deep in your heart and deep in your Soul to be wrong, you know you are not living what is right.

These compromises with Honor and Truth have been worming their way into our society for a long time.  However, that does not make lies into Truth.  We as Americans have watched somewhat powerlessly as children are ripped from the arms of Mothers who came to America believing in the promise of America inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in our New York harbor.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

This honorable statement has long demonstrated the aspiration of the United States of America.  And although like all hopes we, as a nation, have not always shown the Truth of these words, never before has a political administration had the hubris and shamelessness to amend these words.

Where is the outrage of the public? Where are our Senators, our Congressmen, our advocates? We are supposed to be a representative republic.

This act is one more example of the violation of morals that is currently plaguing our society.  It is one more example of the Golden Rule being tossed aside in favor of money and greed.  It is one more example of how the pure qualities of kindness and compassion are being compromised by the desire and greed that evil has introduced into our world.

We have long known,

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.
                       – Edmund Burke

Likewise, history has taught us the vast danger of allowing lies to replace Truth in a society.  Nazi architect Joseph Gobble proved that.

The whole Nazi part of the history of humanity was based upon telling lies so outrageous that they became ignored, even by good people. It is dangerous to see the possibility of history repeating itself.

The amount of documented false or misleading claims by President Donald Trump varies because excuses are made for him by removing from the count lies pundits say may just have been ignorance.  These are just a part of the compromises with the Truth that are being woven into our society by evil.

TIME TO TAKE A STAND

When as Edmund Burke observed, good men (or women) do nothing, they are letting evil triumph. It is time for some accountability.

I am calling on you, who read my words to open your heart and your mind to the wisdom of your Soul and take a stand for Truth and let your light shine.

Take a stand for right human relationships.  Take a stand for what you know is right and speak out against the travesties against justice, Truth, honor, kindness, and compassion that are invading our world today.

It is time for the men and women of Goodwill to take a stand and apply Spiritual Truths to the material corruption of evil in our world.  Right is still right.  Wrong is still wrong.  America has long identified itself as a Christian nation.  I ask you all now, where is the Christian Church in this moral crisis?

We are, as a world and not only as a nation, in an epic conflict between the forces of good and evil.  Human consciousness is at a crucial step in evolution that is bringing these issues to the attention of the world to enable and encourage us to make a stand and grow as a society.

Make a stand for kindness and compassion.  Make a stand for honor.  Make a stand for justice.  Make a stand for right-action.  Make a stand to be able to leave your children and grandchildren a world where good is demonstrated, and evil is defeated.

It is up to you!  You are responsible!  You can make a difference!  You are not powerless!  It is time to let the truth of your spirit shine!

If you have had enough, I am asking you to consider my words a call to action for you to TAKE A STAND.  To listen to your sense of what is right and listen to the voice of your conscience about what is wrong and to honor yourself and honor others by standing up right here, right now, today.

 

Namaste,

Genevieve
