The Last Day

Bruce Lipton starts his Spontaneous Evolution lectures with a Good News / Bad News joke, first the bad news – “The world as we know it is coming to an end”. Now the good news – “The world as we know it is coming to an end”. We are certainly living in interesting times and, when we look at all the extreme weather events around the world, it is clear that we need to act urgently to avoid disaster through Global Warming. As ever, wars and international tensions cause hardship and dislocation for millions of people. In 2015 Europe was presented with a huge refugee crisis precipitated by the war in Syria and continuing insecurity in Libya. The world paused at the sight of a 5 year old child, dead and face down in the sand, before renewing hostilities and passing on the blame. Wars diminish humanity. How much of a wake-up call do we need? As we give thanks for the many good things that happened in 2015 including the simple acts of opening our eyes in the morning or being able to live without pain let us resolve to multiply such experiences in 2016 and to bring more happiness into our lives. We can also leave divisions of the ego behind and the selfish behaviours that result. Instead let us celebrate our Oneness with each other and all creation and put our collective powers to the task of saving the world in which we live. Let today be the last day of our corrupt thinking, the last day we turn a blind eye to suffering, the last day we ignore the acts of governments to remove our liberties, poison our food or wage wars in our name. That the world as we have known it is coming to an end is good news indeed. Now is the time to follow Ghandi’s call to “Be the change you want to see in the world”.
