Moral Dilemmas ~ Government ~ Politicians ~ Voters

Greed over humanity has reached critical mass in many lands in our world. We need to shift and include integrity in our humanity.

The following is a post from January 2, 2013. Truths do not change. Here we are discussing the same points to the same political dilemmas seven years later.

Moral dilemmas occur in every facet of life. One of our life lessons is to balance our needs with the needs of everyone and everything else.

When do we take care of our self, our needs, our wants, our desires?

When do we go beyond ourselves to include taking care of others, others’ needs, others’ wants, others’ desires?

It is important that we take care of ourselves. Self preservation mandates we take care of ourself first in order to have the stamina to take care of others, such as putting on an oxygen mask on an airplane before putting on your children’s oxygen mask.

But what is the boundary that marks the saturation point of critical mass of care of the self to excessive selfish, only self serving agendas at the expense of harming others?

At what point do we shift into the numbing state of egocentric blindness that appears to fall on our personal and collective moral conscience?

At what point do we stop listening to others’ points of view on any subject, and only listen to our own selfish and hurtful opinions?

Are we getting paid to do a job?

Are we students?

Are we in administration?

Are we appointed to the job?

Did we get voted in to do a job?

Do we listen to the loudest voice screaming in our head?

What is it that grabs our attention, and is important to us?

Are we swayed by peer pressure, popular opinion, financial, political or social gain?

Is it important that we win at all costs, or that we do the right thing under our watch at this time?

Is it important to eliminate all others’ points of view, vision and agendas in order that our own is the only light that shines, at the tremendous expense of human, social and financial sacrifice, as long as we win locally, nationally and worldwide?

Are we aware that everything going on in every country is seen by every other country, that we no longer live in Neanderthal ignorance, behind high walls, void of technology, science and education?

Are we truly living our conscience, our moral conviction in the face of all truths, not just the “truths” we want to see?

Do we make decisions based on integrity and honor for the good of all people, or based on personal, social, financial or political gain?

Does someone else, or something else own your soul, your voice, your mind?

Recognize that it is not socialism or any other kind of “ism,” to play your part in the betterment of humankind. Name calling another’s point of view is a deflection technique, rather than dealing with the issue at hand.

It is possible to sabotage all other attempts at the remedy if it is not our idea, our agenda, our platform. It is possible to sink an agenda, and a country, and the world if we choose not to be responsible.

It is time to get out of the sandbox.

It is not possible to build something up at the same moment you are tearing it down.

What is needed at this point in time is to do the job in a cooperative effort, making just decisions in the face of threats by bullies of every kind.

We teach our children to stand up to bullies, but it seems when it comes to healing us grownups, we adults have the backbone of a grape.

We teach our children to stand up to bullies, but it appears that political blackmail is tolerable to the paid-off politician.

We need to mature, abandon peer pressure, and do the job we are paid for, volunteered to do, or are appointed to do.

We need to be strong, courageous and valiant in the face of difficult and unpopular opinions of our time in every situation.

Courage is doing the right thing in the face of fear-based threats, in order to help humanity and our country.

It takes courage to act with integrity and honesty to stand up against friend and foe alike, in order to do the right thing for all of the people under our political or private watch, without tipping the scale of justice towards selfish greed and political and personal gain.

It takes integrity not to turn a democracy into an authoritarian dictatorship.

Now is the time for our leaders to be leaders.

Our decisions need to be balanced, or they will topple. The more out of balance the decision, the harder and faster they topple.

Now is the time for our leaders all over this world to build up, not tear down.

Now is the time to let the breath of education, science, wisdom, light, and healing to sweep through our lands, like a refreshing rain renews what was once barren, fallen, deprieved, and destitute.

Drop The Fear ~ Stregnthen Your Will ~ Balance Your Life ~ Repost from 6/29/2012

Dropping fear in your life greatly assists you on your journey through this life. We have so many fears, which trigger so many dysfunctional habits, and make us

On your Path, follow the Light. Light banishes fear, always.

mentally, physically and spiritually sick. Dropping fear is a continual process. Like the layers of an onion, there can be more fear to let go of. Dropping fear balances and harmonizes your life, strengthens your will, and brings peace, self control, and self esteem.Waking up our will is a gradual process. Surpressing your will is the ultimate sabotage. But many people are afraid to empower themselves for fear of what others might think, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of change, fear of standing out, fear of the crowd, fear of being alone, fear of people’s differences, fear of another’s religion, fear of people in other countries, fear of retaliation, fear, fear, fear.

When we justify our fears, we shrink our will, our voice, our opinion on the matter. Justifying our fears is our way of hiding from the truth that we are a Divine Creation, formed by Divine Light and Love, with Divine Spirit and Divine Will, as an intricate part of the essence of us. Balancing our will and our spirit make us whole. This balancing heals what hurts us, not just as individuals, but also us as nations across this globe.

Fear is a waste of energy.

Fear stifles you from fulfilling what you came here to fulfill.

Fear immobilizes and shuts down positive solutions.

Fear is unreality, a place where the Light of Love has not yet shown, but can be shown.

Fear is the hidden root cause of anger, misunderstandings and judgements.

Before we can achieve world peace, which is possible, we need to eradicate fear from every corner of our being. Once we do that, we will relax, our nations will relax.  We will heal individually, and our nations will heal globally.

We need to raise our vibrations, build bridges and trust, with ourselves and others. Find the common ground where possible. It is neccessary at this time, to balance our spirit and our will. They are not in competition with each other, nor is one more important than the other. It is a mistake to sacrifice the will to make the spirit stronger. And it is a mistake to sacrifice the spirit to make the will stronger. You are able to bring yourself into balance with these self help tools.

How do you drop fear? Bring it out of hiding. Darkness goes away when the light is turned on. Discuss the fear with a friend, or write about it on a paper and burn it in the fireplace. Take action.

Do not be swayed by fear tactics of others. That’s what bullies do. You stand up to bullies or they will bully you all your life, until you do. If you use fear tactics as motivation in any way, stop doing that. That’s not the karma you want to build. Stay clear. Stay in the Light. Stay in Love. Ground the Light. Ground the Love. Be the Light to show others the way out of fear. You will feel better, and so will they.

Namaste
