This shift implies a collective awakening of human connection to Source and universal cooperation.
Of course we are not there, but could be close. More importantly our survival as a species will depend on choices made in the very near future.
We speak as a collective about poverty and fighting poverty and disadvantage. Yet with technology and creature comforts abounding, we have never lived better. Many of us at least.
Humans all want the same thing. Comforts of family and loved ones, freedom from want of shelter and food, a way to contribute to society, and freedom to control destiny. Source offers the abundance of air, water, earth and sun. Evolution called us to this place and now evolution of consciousness is calling the human family to go a step further. If we don't heed the call, we could be on the precipice of destruction. We now have the ability to do that, not only with weapons, but with the stresses on Source caused by human un-consciousness. Without human arrogance though, the planet will survive. It does not need us. It is the opposite that is true.
We have a choice as resources become scarce and that is to wake up. Water is already considered a strained resource and we can easily imagine a frightening existence with conflict over this weakening resource. The reality is playing out in distressed areas of our planet.
Misery in the world is growing despite our knowledge and progress. Wisdom is ancient, but rhetoric is more popular. Humans let just a few make decisions for them and many if not most of the leaders they choose or in many instances forced upon them make decisions with their personal limited self interest in mind.
An opportunity and idea for individual freedom and democracy was birthed, fought for and developed into a country we call the United States of America. There was an understanding of what that struggle was about, but we are losing our understanding and getting lost in the rhetoric of so called leaders that divide and distort for personal advantage. We are regressing. Ben Franklin's comment when asked after the American Revolution "what do we have here?" speaks volumes when he wisely spoke, "A republic, if you can keep it." Not a democracy, but a "republic" he states.
Plato spoke over two thousand years ago about the "republic" as an ideal state. A republic in the founders' mind was a "commonwealth" whereby the power rests within the citizens. So if the common wealth is the dedicated ideal, citizens must to some extent work to create a society dedicated to the common good. True democracy is a participatory form of government where each citizen will educate themselves on issues of the common good; each working for the larger whole which in turn benefits each individual. But if each citizen participates only with a trip to the voting booth on election day to elect the leader that promises the most for that individual or like group, the republic and democracy are both lost. Selfish leaders know this and lead hapless citizens over the cliff with promises that will be broken when their place in power is secured. They are skilled at knowing the weaknesses in human nature. These leaders also deceive themselves as well and get caught up in their illusion of superiority, buying into the deceit that secured their power.
If we are all pulling for our own self interest and not that of the collective benefit of all, we are like animals merely struggling for survival. But we depend upon each other more than we sometimes realize.
In all of the humans that have existed and lived on earth, there are a precious few that created prosperity and ideas that benefit the whole. And there is a part of that whole who spend time in forgetful comfort and assumed entitlement dismissing those who create success and prosperity as the greedy who must give up more to those who are "disadvantaged". This is NOT prosperity consciousness.
Prosperity consciousness must first exist as a new thought. Awareness of true reality grows and becomes part of an educational system throughout a culture and then transcend into the world and human family as a whole. New thinking as it manifested itself in the late eighteenth century must be re-visited with deep consideration and logic and not the mental masturbation of false intellectualism.
Gratitude will come as a result of the "new" thought and the value of possibility will start to elevated from a place of darkness and distortion.
Prosperity Consciousness starts with awareness, appreciation and connection to Source and Evolution. We came here against all odds and we evolved through some mystery of Divine generosity. We must learn first to be grateful. As we learn again to work toward enlightenment, mind and heart must be in unison. All of able body and mind must participate. We must purge political rhetoric of the disguised bigotry whereby burdening programs which only serve to limit and not empower are created for the short term benefit of the politicians.
Discipline must be reintroduced into education and excuses and mediocrity removed. The young must first be taught how to think, not what to think. Humanity needs re-creation through freedom and understanding of birthright. Those truths are self-evident. With the ability of thinking enhanced, the self-interested that come to leadership will be exposed and we will not be blinded by rhetoric in leadership that often states the opposite of their true intent.
Success is an individual experience. Prosperity consciousness can infect a culture the the extent that it is accepted, incorporated into thinking and therefore a benefit to all. Money is a man made tool and you become its slave when you idealize it and work for it. Those who understand prosperity know that money money work for them. When we work at what we love to do with our full attention and talent monetary reward is realized and knowledge of true prosperity grows within.
So start the shift now by awareness and gratitude to those Edisons, Einsteins, Jeffersons, and Platos. Forget what Apple pays in taxes or what the Koch brothers contribute to political campaigns and be grateful for the contributions they bestowed with their foundations and innovations. Those who achieve true prosperity return a gift and never hear what cannot be done. They teach a large lesson.
