The Strings of Interdependence

In the evolution of human beings we have moved from being completely survival oriented, to working with each other to survive, to working with each other to create the opportunity for higher thought - the evolution of human spirit.

We are privileged indeed to be able to consider such things as our happiness. And yet that very happiness is fragilly woven with the strings of interdependence. It is only in our large populations that we are able to forget this, but it is not a healthy thing to forget and really our happiness is contingent on our ability to recognize just how interdependent we are as human beings.

Without honoring this connection, it is too easy to forget that everything we do has waves and implications and effects so much farther reaching than we can see with our naked eyes. And yet to honor this connection requires that we remember that everything we do has waves and implications and effects so much farther reaching than we can see with our naked eyes. And to remember that is to remember that we are responsible and accountable for everything we do and to know its effects reach into the lives of all who inhabit the planet.

This terrible doomsday talk, all the fear and the hype of judgment day, really it comes down to this - when your end comes and the pictures of your life stream before your eyes, you WILL, without any doubt, recognize that you were responsible and acountable for all of it, so why not recognize that NOW instead? How much more empowering is that! It gives you such freedom, the freedom to direct and create the movie of your life with scenes you would like to look back on and appreciate, with scenes that make you proud to have been responsible and accountable for.

It's there for each and every one of us to do. What an opportunity to recognize our responsibility to our interdependence upon each other and to make choices that are wholesome and healthy for our tribe, the human race.

Blessings.
