Acting positively makes you feel good, feeling good gives you energy, energy is more essential than air or food, for these things and everything else are nothing more than energy.
Take action, make things right, even if they weren’t your fault. Build connections, notice your fellow beings, think about them, imagine their lives and wonder if theirs is the same as yours. Do you like things in common? Do the same things annoy you? Maybe if they did, and you had a chance to get to know them, then maybe you could work on those things together! Community, most people think it’s a type of website these days. Though the internet gives us free access to information, it also keeps us remote from each other, takes the personality away, prevents the exchange of looks and nods and smiles and hugs. This virtual isolation is as dangerous as the disinformation that also abounds online. When you speak to someone in person, you can interact on so many different levels, you transmit emotions, feelings and energy in a way that can never happen down a fibre optic cable, you can touch their hand, maintain their attention, tell if they are being honest. Little smiley faces and ((hugs)) will never replace the one to one connection, breathing the same air, sharing food, drinks, emotions.
Community used to be a local thing, concern for and communication with your neighbours, sharing of news, warmth and hearts. But now we think everyone is going to stab us or steal our precious possessions. We are told our fellow humans are dangerous animals, even in these enlightened times, thinly veiled racism, homophobia and fear of the different and unknown are used by the media to keep us in a state of fear, by the government to excuse wars and the passing of draconian legislation to ‘protect’ us from ourselves. But all we need to do is talk to realise that none of us are that different, no matter what we look like, where we’re from, who we sleep with. We’re all sick of being deceived, of being used, of being profited from while being immersed in a world of money, stress, red tape and bull shit that helps keep us down, stops us from taking a deep breath and thinking about what we actually need and want in this life, let alone giving us the time and energy and money we need to be able to go out and achieve those goals.
Life is so fast these days that we’re always overworked, overstressed and underpaid. We need a little rest. We need to stop for just a short while and take stock of what really matters, people. When was the last time you got together with your loved ones? Or do you speak on the phone? Missing some long lost friends? Something happen and you fell out with someone and can’t explain why? We need to rebuild these connections. For while alone we may be insignificant and small, together we are legion. It doesn’t matter how much power and money world leaders and their big business equivalents have, together we have more. If I reconnect with 5 people, repair relations, smooth things over, and they do the same with 5 of their friends, and 5 more and 5 more, all of those little single connections will join together to form a web that would make the internet seem small and simple. Just the energy and happiness created from each of those connections will improve your life, and their life, and every life connected to you. Even if each improvement is small, the net gain in energy will be huge. With all that positive energy release, there will be a lot more smiles on faces, which will spread faster than swine flu through public places. People will feel better so they will be better prepared to face the world, maybe carry out some little things you have been meaning to do for a while, call another distant friend or send an email. While you are happier you will relax better during your time off, have more energy for hobbies and learning and feel more stimulated and efficient during work, removing that dreading, draining feeling, or giving you the resolve to do something about it and move on to a new job, or start the business you always planned on founding.
By creating this web of connections and spreading positive energy around the world, we will help spread the message of real change. We will avoid the corporate channels, the agenda laden media, and spread the message hand to hand, mouth to ear, across the web, in our music, in our art and films. We will saturate the world with our message and our energy. When we are connected and full of energy we will truly have the power to work together to stop the greed and brutality that is rife in our world. We can use our collective voting powers, financial leverage, signatures, voices, instruments and bodies to show world governments and corporations that they work for us and not the other way around. They cannot continue carrying out atrocities in our name, using our money, lying, deceiving and cheating us to support heinous policies, no more raping of other countries, people and resources, no more corporate control, no more war, NO MORE LIES!
We will avoid violence, but we will defend ourselves with honour. We will incur casualties and have people imprisoned, but they shall be our martyrs. With every act of defiance we can reduce their control and take back our power and our pride in the human race.
