JANUARY 30TH marked the beginning of the Season for Nonviolence, the national 64-day campaign dedicated to demonstrating that non-violence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities.
Inspired by the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, the Season calls each of us to activism, but it is a call that invites us to act from the center of consciousness that knows it genesis as the divine spark of heaven inside each individual.
It is through our consciousness that we show up as greater expressions of life. It is an awakened consciousness that is able to see the perfection, the Divine reality, in each situation in spite of the conditions.
The state of perfect simplicity or the independence of solitude in the midst of the crowd is the state of inner peace, heaven within, the Kingdom. It is the source of our awakening. This awakening pushes forward, expressing through each individual’s action.
Too often, taking action has been associated with an angry energy that is the opposite of the change it desires to create. When actions come from the consciousness of peace, of awakened doing, it captures the power of transformation. It would be wonderful if a group of beings or persons should arrive on earth that was for something and against nothing. This would be the summum bonum (highest expression) of human organization.
I invite each of you to contemplate where you are called to action.
How can you show up as an agent of change in your world, centered in the spirit of nonviolence and awakened purpose, so that our light shines and makes a difference?
In that spirit of action or that call to consciousness of peace, together we will create “a world that works for everyone.”
