It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times

 Even in the best of times, there are varying segments of the world’s populations living on the knife’s edge of disaster. Othertimes, the danger is shared by all life forms upon the planet — whether it’s man made, natural and/or a combination thereof. The angst, thusly generated, is felt and becomes an energy form that feeds into the underbelly of the astral plane in which most of us are all too thoroughly immersed. 

In any event, the best course of action is to just ‘get on with life’ while realizing that the major source of our problems is our misconceptions, false images, hostilities, negativities, irrationalities, fearfulness, arrogance, cruelty, et al, and that we need  to change our thinking, change our ways, change our direction — otherwise, we’ll wind up exactly where we’re headed. 

This will require increased enlightenment for mankind — especially those in leadership positions. In order for this to happen, we need to individually each raise our levels of consciousness which requires that levels of gossip, cruelty, superstition, et al, be drastically reduced. Additionally, we need to quit feeding our attention into false narratives that are designed to titillate  our negative emotions. Instead, focus your attention on those things both big and little in our personal lives that we have some measure of control and influence over. 

No one is an island and everything is connected. You’re either a part of the solution or a part of the problem. Don’t spend too much time trying to right past wrongs — instead, envision a better future and move in that direction.

[“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…”]

Note: Part of the reason that I like studying ‘his’tory (of mankind) is knowing my ancestors survived it. Another reason is figuring out my own survival strategies. Each person must do this for themselves, beginning here and now by dissolving their weaknesses and strengthening their God good qualities...
