The Creator of this world has something to say to us; "You are all being lied to by yourselves and those around you. Money is the ruler of your world. Greed and comfort are the measures in your world of a successful life." The current election cycle is a perfect representation of the fight for the soul of this country. Mega rich for the few or generalized money distribution for the masses. Which do you believe to be a more life sustaining approach?
We are all assailed by the presentation of what is true. One truth that is causing the most despair and taking the most damage is , "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Yet what do we do? We try to "cure" every disease on the planet but largely ignore prevention because it takes what a cure does not-personal responsibility; action vs. reaction. The sinister reason, "Where is the money in a cure for cancer?" A cure for cancer is JUST LIKE alternative energy sources are to big energy. It threatens the world of money and comfort where the few ride on the backs of many. Cure cancer and where do the people go to work from hospitals, oncology centers, imaging centers, drug companies and every staff member associated with the treatment of cancer-if there were a cure.
So where do we attack first. As Les Brown would say of anything, such as a cure/prevention for cancer: "It's possible." We must develop the drive to grow and excel in growing. Turn off the nightly narcotic of distraction and numbing, the TV, and grow.
Exercise, meditation, prayer, volunteering, loving our neighbor are a few small things we can do to distract ourselves from the drug dealers of false promises of Madison Avenue. It does not take much for us to change our lives at all. Commitment to making the world a better place is simple.
Occam's (or Ockham's) razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. Ockham was the village in the English county of Surrey where he was born. The principle states that "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily."
You may be more familiar with the colloquial term; "The simplest explanation is usually the most correct."(Paraphrased) Yet somehow we believe the more complex the better. Again, another lie we are fed. Simple solution:
Walk 30 mins a day
Meditate 20 mins a day
Eat only food grown by the Earth in its whole form.
1 Random act of kindness everyday.
An avalanche starts with one rock. A journey starts with one step. We do these simple things and the world will change immediately and dynamically. There is only one catch, we have to do it.
