Awareness of a Better Way and a New Day

Normally the best mannered people in the world, the British, were rioting a while back because of surveillance infringements on their personal lives. Today, their fighting mad about of some MPs who padded their expense accounts.

The Queen is reportedly “deeply troubled” over this too. Still, I have to wonder if she’s more concerned about the corruption or the fact that it’s becoming discovered by the public.

It seems to me that what’s happening all over the world is that the more people become aware of government corruption, the more government officials try to get their share of the ill-gotten gains before the party’s over. The smart thing might be to lie low for a while, but their instinct of is to get what they can while they can. So the tensions build, and the established foundations of societies all over the world are undermined – by their own greed and avarice, so that when they tumble and crumble, no one will mourn their loss.

Yet, this is just one reason for the current chaos around the world. The other problem speaks more directly to the issue of people not realizing we’re all one. For instance, the Hindus and Buddhists that coexisted happily thousands of years ago in Sri Lanka have been butchering each other so badly lately that the government can’t even maintain their positive spins anymore. So, they kicked out all foreign media.

The process I see going on in the world today is that we’re all being disinfranchised of our old roles in order to become more receptive to new ones as we approach 2012 and the promised new world. People are being laid off their jobs and are left wondering who they are and what they’re supposed to do now. Every position of power is being threatened and people are fightning to secure their place in the scheme of things.

This scheming and fighting causes tensions to escalate even more. Even while most seem to be expecting a solid recovery any time now, the old order continues to collapse. It’s being undermined by awareness of a better way and the dawning of a new day.
