The Great Cleansing … (07/16/15)
Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin and Pinochet (and Bush and Cheney and Obama) are only the primary spokesmen for the over-arching attitude of domination and greed that reside near the Heart of us all. We all combat the demons of arrogance & callousness every day in all that we do, and until that source of selfishness is cleared, there will always be confusion and condemnation & hypocrisy & hatred in or lives …
Until we choose to make life about Giving instead of getting, there will be hunger … Until we choose to make life about Forgiveness instead of punishment, there will be injustice … Until we choose to make life about Kindness instead of self-defense, there will be violence and war.
My Friends, every single one of us can play an important role in this Great (and most needed) Cleansing, and every single one of us can get started doing so today — by simply repeatedly pausing and choosing anew:
Instead of saving or earning, choose Giving …
Instead of judging or condemning, choose Forgiveness …
Instead of anger or fear or aloofness, choose Kindness.
Amen … Let it be so.
