America, the place to be...

 This is a great moment in the human experience; and this land we call America stands out as the potential birthplace of a new and more inclusive model of human culture.


Humanity lives, breathes, and exists on a global stage.  Divisions of separation by things such as race, creed, or religion are imagined.  Every human being is unique and perfect when perceived without personal prejudice.  Any perceived differences are superficial and blind one’s clear-sightedness and understanding.


The era which has placed value upon human distinctions, divisions, and separateness has presented its act on the stage, but now that Act has ended and begins the transition beyond to the acceptance of radical inclusivity.  


This transition is one of the mind, the collective mind of all of humanity.  Every single human form participates in the process and either furthers or obstructs this transition.  


Maturity is the purpose.  Maturation from these adolescent ideologies, selfish and self-serving tendencies, to acceptance, inclusion, and understanding.


The confining and limited social structures  created by our culture will lose their efficacy.  Change will happen when we seek not to prioritize our individuality but instead seek to lower ourselves down from our pedestals while at the same time lifting those, who we perceive as standing below us, up as equals.   


America is at a critical stage of transition.  We can see the stark contrast between the new and old collective mindsets playing out in our cultural institutions.  The perceived division it has created is a necessary element of the transition, It must be so.  It will take time to reshape our culture, to recenter our social values, but this new mindset has reached a tipping point and cannot be stopped.  Those who refuse to accept change are doomed to failure and their efforts serve only to obstruct the inevitable outcome.  


Everything of this world changes, it is inevitable, it is the law of nature, of existence itself, resistances is futile and ultimately destructive of the whole.


Participate in this transition.  Seek truth and understanding within your being.  Try on a new mindset, seek its value, recognize the common humanity that stands as a backdrop on the stage.  Focus your attention away from the various stage props in the foreground and towards the ever present backdrop, the commonality of humanity and of the human condition. 


Be the change, and watch as the world blossoms in response.


Much peace, much love,

Bernie
