REFINEMENTS WELCOME… PLEASE! NOW!
Does anyone have a problem with that, and if so, how and what might there be in terms of improvements to this global vision, the beginnings of a mandate?
How does one go about implementing change to bring about conditions for, and in alignment with, Humanity’s choices?
Stepping back once more from the situation provides more perspective, other perspectives. That is obvious, yet not always observed or utilized to advantage. Then again we could continue on with what we’re doing. “Everything is just fine the way things are going now.”
Take a moment to ponder the old saying “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got..ten.” Remember humanity is desperate and the time is now. What if, in the scenarios being considered “always do” primarily involves delegating or deferring responsibility to others. What if those delegating considered taking on considerably more responsibility and identifying more personal accountability for misguidedness? Of course, we might want to as well recognize the elements of responsibility and accountability related to achievements. What if one were to consider for a moment that the observer comprehends that they are not only part of the solution, that they are indeed a major part of the problem? Before disregarding this perspective, remember this is a time of desperation… not necessarily a time to do what has always been done at previous times like this. On observing desperation, note that frustration, expressed as tensions, has the capacity to be felt within self. Imagine for a moment that the desperation is very much directed at self and the lack of solution coming from self. What if you are honest with self and acknowledge that it would not be the first time of engaging in shifting the focus of responsibility to others. This has in our past been a very effective technique, this shifting of focus of responsibility, often blame. The usual response is that the blamed attempt to shift responsibility elsewhere and the merry-go-round turns and everyone goes for a ride…in circles.
What if?
What if, just for the moment, the observer agrees to take on increasing responsibility.
HOW, WHAT, AND WHY would we do that? By shifting responsibility elsewhere one does not have to look at self and what self would do. By taking on personal accountability and responsibility you allow yourself to become part of the scenario, the situation, and you will have given yourself an opportunity and a perspective from which you can look at yourself and what you would do.
For the moment the shift of focus will be to self rather than to exasperation with the state of the planet, yet not forgetting that we have both tensions and our intentions regarding the planet.
What would one do?
One might concur that each human would, in a perfect world, choose to be a shining example of how the rest of humanity, in principle, interacts with each other and the planet.
