Consider for a moment, the hubris to think that political movements, conservative or liberal, are anything other than superficial, important only unto themselves. They are a mile wide yet as thin as the paper on which their rhetoric is published. They can only be relatively short lived because they are based on the illusionary misperception that citizens are divisible into encampments. Political systems lack recognition and honoring of our inherent connectedness to each other through the underlying Source of All Creation. Therefore, as currently designed and operated, our political systems are not resilient. They are temporary, unsustainable. Humankind, like Earth’s natural ecosystems, are intertwined systems of intricate subsystems able to adapt to changes in their conditions. Ecosystems are also able to heal the damages caused by storms. Humans too, when we remember our interconnections and honor the contributions of all the aspects of our diversity, can claim the blessings of Union that heal us after the current storm has faded away.

I’d like to remind those interested in shifting the current woeful narrative that we actually have an opportunity to go more deeply into the remembering of our inherent Union. Only from there, can sustainable human support systems emerge. Join me in co-creating systems, political and otherwise, that honor our interconnectedness. Then we make obsolete, all systems based on the illusion of our separateness.   

What if: We the people remembered our Union by virtue of our common origin and this remembering became the basis for securing the blessings of love, liberty, food, shelter, clothing for all to share? You may call me a dreamer, but I know that I am not the only one.
