THE
GOOD NEWS ABOUT
CRISIS
(a
glimpse inside Do-it-Yourself Crisis
Survival)
•
Whether We See It Or Not, There Is A Perfect
Purpose To Everything
Life always
unfolds to its highest potential and there is
always new promise to look ahead to. And so
it is with the challenges that humanity is
faced with now.
The increase
in divorce; natural disasters; crime;
emotional, economic and ethical bankruptcy;
company's down-sizing; whole industries
disappearing overnight, new incurable
diseases... is a cleansing, not the end of
the world.
In fact, the
seeds of the 'new age' have already begun to
bud. Change (crisis) is simply Life's way of
injecting the opportunity for a little
perspective, gratitude and motivation into
the issue mix. And part of the process of
moving us to the next rung on the
ladder.

A World Gone Amok
All of us
have said it. Most of us say it on a weekly
or daily basis: 'Somehting's gotta give' . .
.'What's wrong with this picture?' . . .'How
can this kind of thing be allowed to go on?!'
. . . What we're all refering to is the state
of our world. Crime is rampant. "Nobody has
integrity anymore." The educational system is
failing our children. The environment, well,
we've pretty-well trashed it. Vote! Vote for
who! They're all as bad as the next. "Nobody
cares about anybody anymore, except if they
think they can get something from you."
There's no jobs . . .
Our view of
our world is less than uplifting. And for a
growing number of us, it's time for a
reinventing of ourselves, our communities and
our society at large. First though, comes the
cleansing - the washing away of the old,
worn-out, and decaying ways that no longer
work.
•
A Blessing In Disguise
Humanity is
at a crossroad. The old is coming apart at
the seams, while the new has begun to sprout.
The good news is: although 'everything is
falling apart', and there's sound reason to
suspect that life could get very, very
uncomfortable, even ugly, during the process
- when it's over, we'll get another chance to
recreate it in a better form.
Just as our
collective conscience has created the world
we have now. The new collective consciousness
is creating a heightened model for living. As
more of us are being proactive; tolerant;
holistic; environmentally responsible;
principled; genuine; operating with integrity
. . . the energy in the world is changing
direction. We're not talking utopia. We're
talking about being on the verge of the next
step in our evolution. We're talking about
restoring balance. Act as if what you do
makes a difference. It
does!
