IDEAL WORLD

As I woke up early in the morning and prepared to go to a mining site in Moatize Mozambique, my colleague was already up and sitting in the living room with the CNN news on. And in the news I heard about the recent attacks on Christians and other religious minorities by the Islamic jihadists and also about the recent news hype on the unrest about the police force and the citizens of Ferguson Missouri in the United States of America. I went on about preparing for the day and making my lunch, I tried to do my best to ignore the negativity of the news that was on. I am not really a fan of news or television at all.

With the news being on, I heard commentary on how the attacks on the religious minorities ,particularly Christians, is "genocide", a bit of an exaggerations though, and with regards to the Ferguson unrest that this incident now was seen as a racist unfolding of a white police officer shooting an unarmed black teenager. I couldn’t help but still wonder on how the world’s dramas seem to be staying stagnant whilst we are growing old and dying, and the new generation to follow us. It seems the world is still caught up in its own dramas that have been going on far longer than probably it is necessary now, especially as we are reaching a pinnacle moment of mass consciousness awakening. These event left me feeling offish, as expected since it is negative news and it sells, and me asking questions about humanity and whether am I the one who got this thing about oneness and unity all wrong. Am I just a dreamer who has idealistic expectation for the human race that is just bound in separation? Am I even real? As I asked these questions, the words of my teachers came to me and they said this:

“You came into this environment where there are choices, where there is variety. In other words if you lived in a household where everybody thought exactly the same way, and nobody had any contentions about anything, and everybody wanted everything exactly the same; you were all born to love pizza, you were all born to love milk, you were all born to love the colour yellow, you were all born to love hardwood floors instead of carpeted floors. In other words, you were all born with these “samenesses” you say you, “oh we would get along so famously! We all sing the same songs and do the same things.” and we say you will not be stimulated to a new idea, and a continuing Life Force could not continue to be drawn within you. Because we all need an Active Calling, a Summoning of Pure Positive Energy. On how life can be better expressed. You did not come here to get the world to be just as you want it to be. You came here to create the world around you that you choose, while you allow the world that others choose it to be to exist also.”

Other people’s choices can’t affect you unless you give them your attention. Unless you believe your freedom and wellbeing I dependent upon what the others in the world are choosing.

With all this sudden hype and attention going on about religious and racial intolerance, one can easily be swept away by the tide of negativity. And one thing that the world needs more of is another negative person. Another person to add upon the number of people who believe peace is achieved by controlling outside environment to have internal peace. You did not come here to change the world. You came here to be in the world as we have so far allowed to be and Be the change that it inspires within you all day every day. Your best gift and solution to the world’s problems is to be the most joyful and loving person you can possibly be. The best thing you can give to the world is for you to be in a good mood, despite the world being caught up in the dramas it creates upon itself. It is to remember the truth always of Who You Really Are. That you are an Spiritual extension of the Eternal Source of Positive Energy that permeates the whole universe and atoms. That all these worldly dramas are just distractions to confuse you of the real purpose of why you are here. That you are here to find unlimited opportunities to explore your joys and express who you really are.

As John Lennon sang in his song Imagine that, “You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one. I hope someday you will join us, and the world will be as one.”

Despite all these recent commotion, I was reminded of my purpose in this life here and that is to be a teacher and a reminder of the truth behind the illusion of reality. And Beyoncé’s song then started playing as if perfectly queued in after this understanding came.

I want to leave my footprints on the sand of time

Know that there was something that I left behind

When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets

Leave something to remember

So that they won’t forget

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I’ve done

Everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so that everyone will know

I was here.

I want to say I lived each day until I day

And know that I meant something in somebody’s life

The hearts I have touched

Will be the proof that I leave

That I made a difference

 And this world will see

I was here.

I just want them to know

That I gave my all

Did my best

Brought someone some happiness

Left this world a little better

Just because

I was Here.

That’s my wish and I hope that I  have touched you too. I was here.

I am still here. :)
