Blog posts are have resumed after remodeling the website. I hope you like it.
Prior to the Global Pandemic Covid-19, also known as Corona Virus, I had written about the Global Shift in the human condition towards more positive heart- centered motives vs. negative greed-style motives. Corporations and individuals are more open to ideas related to the greater good. Greed is still alive and well, but there are an increasing number of greater good initiatives. It is a good time to continue the Global Shift series.
Each of our normal day to day lives have been impacted in different ways.
There are areas of irony about wearing a mask on account of the pandemic, George Floyd “ I can’t breathe”, Black Lives Matter and the protesters against racial injustice. Many people object about wearing a mask saying they can’t breathe, or it is uncomfortable. Outside the pandemic a mask can be seen as an indicator to not say anything. So many voices have been silenced and continue to be silenced by violent injustice. There is a symbolism about covering the mouth. The need and thirst for truth and understanding about what truly matters and continues to rise.
The global pandemic is a terrible, life-changing event but some good things are happening as a result. You might have to look in a few different places for the good things, but they are there. The pandemic has also revealed who we really are when some of our precious freedoms are taken away.
I recently heard of a story about an electrician that was contacted by a senior citizen to fix one light fixture in her home. The young electrician was surprised to see the woman’s home was in total dis-repair…the roof, plumbing, ceilings, rotted wood, flooring etc. She did not have the resources to fix the house.
Rather than being greedy and possibly taking advantage of the elderly woman by overcharging for repairs like some contractors will do; , he had a positive attitude and followed his heart. He listened to his inner voice and followed through on that voice. The electrician gathered other contractors to volunteer to help fix her house. Many of her neighbors young and old, got involved and helped with the painting and cleaning up the yard. Now the electrician is taking his crew to other seniors in need of home repairs. The universe tugged on the heart strings of these individuals. You may have heard about similar stories related to different human needs like food. They are all heart-warming stories and we are all better on account of them because it illustrates and promotes the greater good.
