I just finished listening to a CD set by Caroline Myss called "Sacred
Contract of America." (www.myss.com) It was inspiring beyond belief!
Having followed Caroline's work on energy anatomy for about 15 years,
her newest venture of delving into the mystical origins of the
creation of this country is equally rich and satisfying.
This site, Daily Kos, is exactly what Caroline is talking about.
People are passionately involved and in love with what this country
stands (or stood) for. We have not lost hope in these desperate times
that we are living in. And that is no small thing, since I have felt
extremely discouraged and fearful about the path we are on as a
nation, yet have found tremendous inspiration here among the people
at Kos who demonstrate incredible intelligence and understanding
for the work involved in bringing us back from the brink of spiritual
and physical annihilation.
Caroline states, "We are stretched on a rack between our greatest
light and our greatest darkness." The image of Iraq looms large,
and the moral and spiritual failures of this administration seem
overwhelming. She also adds, "Nothing will change until we change
ourselves and believe we are all one."
Never has there been a time of such intense suffering on this planet,
such intense greed, and such an intense desire to do good and remedy
the horrible challenges that face us. "We must believe we can become
a beacon of light for freedom again, and embrace our highest potential
on earth," says Caroline. I couldn't agree with her more.
As we each discover ways inside ourselves HOW we can come to action
to do something personal, powerful, and profound in the face of such
darkness, we will find light and hope. And that will spread outward
from each of us until we know that there is a way out of the wasteland
of fear and oppression we have come to know in this country of ours.
Before the word "patriot" became tainted with the stripping away of
our civil rights and liberties, it meant something uniquely American.
I want to see us usher in a time when being an American
patriot means something rich in spirit and beautiful in the sense
of love and caring for all mankind on this magnificent planet we
call home.
