Put Up Your Dukes and Love
(Above: Mercury/Pisces conjunctions, New Moon in Pisces, Sun enters Aries, and Mercury goes direct. 🙏🏻)
Apologies for the posting delay. I have been adjusting to a new life in India.
Labels divide us. And for no good reason.
Political identifications, religious classifications, and class distinctions. We’ve really got to find a way to move beyond these things.
In almost all cases, they serve only to divide us and get us quarreling with one another.
Divided we fall.
And that’s the whole point.
When we start to realize that the distinctions we believe are real were actually manufactured — now we’re talking. That will be a unifying moment.
We share 99.9% genetic equivalence. The remaining amount is what accounts for our physical disparities.
Yes, we tend to cluster around certain shared values, but no group should ever feel, “We are superior.” And if you do, please keep that to yourself.
We are not the rulers of this planet. We are stewards. We are here to serve Mother Nature and its inhabitants. All the research specifies that we are wired for generosity and kindness. So what’s the problem?
The problem is the mind and the labels it creates. The problem is the outside noise that reinforces them.
It’s 100% absolutely upon us to be the change, not to wait for it.
Start practicing unity today. Not tomorrow. Today. Nothing is stopping you.
It starts by understanding that we are all interconnected. Laughter spreads laughter. Hate the same.
To love another as your own is a radical act these days, and such radicalism is what we need.
Love is the answer, as everybody has been saying. We can’t just listen to the song about it now — it needs practice and implementation.
Not in the corridors of power. On your block, on your street, and in your neighborhood. That’s good enough for now.
Life always wins in the end, but not without a fight.
Put up your dukes and love. 🐼
