We Could Be United and Live an Existence of Abundance
There are enough resources on this planet
that could support a much higher quality of life for everyone…
But with the greed of selfish power driven people…
Way too many of us struggle with poverty,
Or at least with a debilitating dread of earning enough.
Although there is currently enough resources
for a much higher quality of life for all humanity…
These resources are not infinite.
But untaxed corporate greed which manipulates the people in power
act like it is theirs alone to exploit to the demise of humanity…
And they have convinced their mentally vulnerable supporters as such.
It’s absurd to have an economy based on
the over exploitation of our resources
just to balance our incessant greed and over consumption.
It has never been about mindfully managing our limited resources
for the sustainability and improvement of the human condition.
The famous psychologist Abraham Maslow pointed out through his
Human development perspective of ‘Hierarchy of Needs’
that we currently live an existence of deficiencies…
No longer can one person go to one job to support the whole family.
The days of buying a house with one middle income paycheck are long gone.
This proves the hard way the good ‘ol Ronny RayGun’s trickle down theory
only made the rich richer, the poor homeless and the middle class is now only
one missed paycheck away from homeless.
It takes at least two people earning consistent income just to get by.

If we could integrate all our diversities,
there would be a strengthened humanity
that could move us past this existence of deficiencies…
And into an existence of abundance.
But our demagogue “leaders” insist on dividing our country instead of uniting…
With xenophobic paranoid anger that
puts all the blame on dark skinned immigrants
while encouraging their supporters to do physical harm to them
to prove they are patriots.
When humanity first hopped down from the monkey trees…
All we could concern ourselves was hunting… and gathering.
From sunup to sun down, all we did was focus on surviving.
Once we were able to farm and store food,
we started having some leisure time and art started.
Then higher thinking came along, and we had the ability to
philosophically ponder the bigger issues of life…
and the spiritual ‘timeless wonder of it all’.
~ ~ ~
Now adays, it seems like we’ve got even less time
to ponder such profound insights such as:
What is the meaning of life?
What is the meaning of MY life?
What were ‘we‘ before this life, and what will ‘we’ become after this life?
Ask yourself who is it that
“I AM”.
This will be the first step of a personal spiritual Path of “Self-inquiry” …
And it will remain your Dharma until you ‘Awaken’ to your Self-Realization of…
I AM.
It is one of the tragedies of modern life
that we don’t collectively have the time to
ponder such profound questions of life.
And so,
Most of us will never find the time for
Spiritual and or creatively fulfilling pursuits.
Most of us will for our entire lives will be stuck with
the pain and suffering of such ignorance and confusion…
Not much more ‘aware’ than animals.
And it’s all because how our religious and political leaders are chosen.
When you vote…
Vote for Humanity…
NOT the demagogue politicians!
And if you don’t know what demagogue means…
Look it up!
Don’t be afraid to wake up,
even when the demagogue politicians are currently mis guiding us
to feel that using critical thinking is a bad thing.
We could be united and live an existence of abundance…
Think about it!
Take as long as your need.
If it wakes you up in the middle of the night…
Act on it in the morning.
