The Unthinkable Lies Ahead

By Sheree Rainbolt-Kren (c) September 24, 2005

As a human race, on the brink of significant energy changes, we are faced with one monumental question. What is our individual role, as it relates to planetary evolution and the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual effects? Clearly, the major weather changes alone could keep us all on topic 24/7. What is a human to think and do in these times?

Before, you have your discussions in your homes, churches, internet groups, and other gathering places, it will be helpful to open the mind to more than what we have always known to be the truth of our existence. Without the willingness to be honest, and allow for the unknown and the unfamiliar, the discussion will likely evolve into nothing more than tiresome debates, one side defending the way things have always been viewed, and the other side exposing hypocrisy and defending new and bold ideas.

There is going to be a lot of heated debate about Mother Nature in the years ahead, from the spiritual perspective. This can be useful to a degree. I no longer believe one can argue for something and gain peace or allies in agreement. As soon as you find yourself arguing a point with someone equally passionate about their own position, you have moved out of the zone of productive discussion. I am finding that it is useful to speak one's truth, once. Maybe twice, under special circumstances. If you have more to add after that, perhaps you could write articles and books, and move out of debate mode. Sometimes, silence is golden and the last word is no prize.

I often wonder why so many of our great spiritual leaders and counselors left their private practices to write books and travel the world with their passionate ideas. I knew it had to be more than about money. I sense they became tired of arguing their point with one person at a time. They understood it was fruitless and enormously draining. They believed in their message and decided to fly high enough to clear the electric lines.

Those who are solid in their beliefs that there is a vengeful God, and a Mother Nature with a taste for death and destruction, in whatever form, need not be convinced by those of us who believe otherwise. It is a waste of spiritual resource to spend time in ongoing disagreement. There is a considerable amount of positive energy needed now, from people willing to see and understand that only Love is real.

Some believe it is best to allow for *whatever* to unfold on Mother Earth, in the name of honor and respect of The Earth's Karmic Balance. As if this is the high road. Where is the honor in eating living things, wearing dead animals, generating garbage that ends up in landfills, driving a car that pollutes our air, using paper from murdered trees, and looking the other way as our lakes and rivers become dumping grounds for carcinogens? Where is the respect for Mother Earth's natural oil resources, as we pay our taxes that help support a killing and theiving war? We can have an honest discussion about God anytime. But a debate about upsetting the balance of Mother Earth could get interesting. People can't have it both ways.
