That song can still make me cry! As I listened to it, I was brought back to a time of such incredible hope. Hopes that were shattered with the Manson murders, the Vietnam war and finally, Reaganomics. It would seem impossible to people who didn't live through those summers of LOVE, but there was a time when I felt sorry for the Republicans because they seemed on an irretrievable downward slope into oblivion. Call me psychic....NOT!
In retrospect, however, it is also true that the 60s was the beginning of the ME generation, and the indiscriminate proliferation of sex, drugs and rock n roll. We were like kids suddenly liberated from a concentration camp given access to anything we wanted, to include Love AND lots o Money! Through the intervening years and with the assistance of our brothers and sisters on the 'dark' side, our outlook has matured even as the exterior world becomes more absurd by the day.
For many of us, the material security we once felt is gone and even the idea of 'success' seems absurd in a world where so many, including now ourselves and our friends, starve. Living as though an ivory tower of delusion can separate us from the despair that surrounds us.
I've subscribed to the In5D Youtube channel for awhile but had not seen this one. I have often thought that Michael might be somehow behind this in an effort to educate us all about the opportunity that awaits us. I am thrilled that someone else senses a connection as well. I have found myself lately being confronted with my greatest fears. Of course, I experience a knee jerk reaction to any bad news, but I am trying now to step back and see the greater picture. Michael has said that, and I'm paraphrasing here, he could have changed even Hitler by giving him enough LOVE, such is its great power. And so after the initial shock of bad news, I've tried to see how to interject love into the situation, so that the attack on my psyche can be deflected and I can remain in a state of balance. Usually it means embracing pain so that my heart can open up just a little bit more. If we can't take negativity to the next dimension, it would only make sense that our equanimity be tested until such time as we finally see that 'there is no bullet.'
And while we all have to do the internal work ourselves, I have to wonder. Where would we, where would I be without Michael guiding us? I just had this image of us all being trapped like the 1% in the cube in the video caught in a web of fear and anger. And Michael, on stage gently turning the gun aside and embracing the soldier. I don't know about anyone else, but I've had numerous 'Come to Jesus' moments as I came face to face with an often unpleasant reflection in the mirror.
Words fail me as I contemplate the enormity of the gift we have been given.
