Friends, I'm probably not the only one in this country that
was born and raised to the prevailing idea that we're here to survive, and more
than that, we're here to have as much enjoyment as we possibly can, right? As opposed to, we’re here to serve, whether
we survive or not. So the title of this
video, that the insanely humane human beings throughout history, the INSHE
warriors, the potent activists, if we look at their lives and think about it,
it's obvious - they're here to serve, they're not here to survive. So, okay, maybe that's just a personal choice
and that's all it is, so be it.
There's an important, deeper question, and that's about
ourselves, and about what our DNA has predisposed us to be, and what capacities
it's given us for optimal experience. It
has given us as part of our nervous system, the two of the three major
components - the head and the flesh, is what I understand them best to be called
and thought of, and they are is all about survival, and pleasure. So without question, there's a part of our
nervous system whose design is to encourage us to focus on it's own survival,
and pleasure, for itself in its ‘me and mine.’
What's gotten lost, in every succeeding year for who knows how long in
this country, and in the West too, and with the export of Western ‘values,’ now
in the East as well, is the other part of our nervous system, which is not here
to survive, it's here to serve – the Heart.
The woman in New York City within the last four months heard gunfire,
saw a young girl she didn't know, shielded the young girl with her body, and
died. That was not species abnormal,
that was species normal. That was a person,
that rather than being ruled by head and flesh in that moment, had her Heart in
charge, that 80%, that divine part of our nervous system. That too is species normal. What's not species normal is our environment
2012 western environment. What's not species
normal is our culture, that has become one which worships survival and
denigrates loving service, except in nicely contained parts of our society that
touch not 99% of us - the military service, nursing maybe, one or two others,
church, Sunday morning. Everyone else's
here for their survival, and selfish pleasure, to shop…. What?
No. No. That's, true, but crazy. The potent activist throughout history, if we
look at their lives it's clear, whether they articulate it or not, whether they
articulate it to themselves or not, they’ve decided they are creatures of the Heart;
they're here to serve, not to be reckless, not to be suicidal, but they're here
to serve, and if that compromises their survival, that's a price that they're
happy to pay. So your choice is, which
kind of being, which part of your nervous system do you want to reign? Do you want to be a Teresa of Calcutta, Alice
Paul, Gandhi, do you want to be like a King, do you want their quality of life,
or do you want existence in The Matrix?
There's multi-trillion dollars a year that are going to convince you to be
in The Matrix. That's the easy
choice. It's also no hope, it's also
doom for humanity now. That's not what
we were designed to have in charge, the head and flesh that totally yearn for
The Matrix - the heart is what we are designed have in charge. Had that not been so, lions and tigers would
have gobbled up all the tribes 10’s of thousands of years ago, and no woman
would ever have born the pain of a 2nd child, having learned of it
with her first birth.
We've lost the environment that optimizes that, the Heart in
charge. Your choice is whether to become
part of being what the world needs to see – people of the Heart, people here to
serve, willing to compromise their survival if necessary, for the Joy, Life,
Peace of Heart, and Humanity of it.
And you now?
