EDITORIAL: Seeing Through the Illusion

By Christina Fermin
Politics & Society Columnist

As the world seemingly falls into turmoil, remember to stay away from fear. No matter what, we, the human potential will prevail. Fear is the friend of those who do not want change. Change is what is desperately needed now, in this moment more so than any other. Letting go of fear is the first step to freedom. Fear is what the corporate owned media and the people with the power want, fear to control the masses. As government grows ever so bigger, the very institutes that we have allowed to protect us begin to turn. Now is not the time to be complacent and comfortable. Now is the time to be aware, aware of the changes that are occurring and have occurred.

War, famine, human suffering, income inequality, greed, poverty, corruption, sex trafficking, animal extinction, climate change, natural disasters, deforestation, pollution, we have only look into a mirror. We have become comfortable, satisfied, lazy, easily influenced, preoccupied; herded together like sheep into cities in search of “a better life.” In doing so we have become parasites, infecting this planet. It is time we begin to look within, change is what the human species needs, change unlike anything before. Once we look within and discover the power that resides in us all, we can implement positive change like a shock wave breaking the airways that try to keep you herded together. Snap out of it and break free from the matrix that keeps you complacent.

Can you imagine a world where human civilization and Mother Earth are in balance. Where the needs of people, animals and Earth are living with the understanding of each other. Where cooperation triumphs competition. These are the dreams that need to be dreamt. Not wanting to be rich and famous, not the empty gratification of materialistic things. Where human suffering can be a thing of the past. This is the world that is possible. This is a world that can exist. This world will only come if you begin that journey, the journey to the inner self, the ethereal spirit that connects us all. A place where money, status, politics, profits, hunger, war do not exist.

Once we can come together and co create our future, we can open a door to the universe. A world where love and happiness can come into fruition and will prevail. For this to occur you must let go of the hate, ideologies, beliefs, traditions and begin the journey within. Seek information, seek the healers and guides, the beacons of the light that shine in a world that seems so chaotic. Turn off the televisions, radios, computer, phones, take time in nature and self. Seek positivity, change the negative attitudes, judgements, preconceived beliefs, concentrate on your power centers, such as the heart, crown of the head and sacrum.

Meditate...Meditate...Meditate, in the next few months things are going to get chaotic and that is when it will be most important for you to stay centered, positive and clear. Do not allow the negativity from the airways, friends, family, school get into your heads. If you are unfamiliar with meditation, there are many youtube videos, websites, books and meetup groups that you can learn from. By doing this you will begin to think clearer, you will be happier, more positive, sleep better, handle stress better, feel better. Meditation brings many benefits, but most importantly it brings inner peace.

We, you and I, are here for a reason. On this planet, during this time in history, we are living during this cycle for a reason. I firmly do not believe in coincidence and very much believe everything happens for a reason. The bug is biting, don’t you think its time you do something about it? Change is on the horizon, now is our time to orchestrate it. I say it is time to get rid of the actors, directors and producers; onward to a new play. A play that is the co creation of us all, to usher in a new ear of human evolution, human consciousness. I for one am excited of the future that we will bring forth, I can see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. True freedom, real happiness is on the horizon, be ready for the call because when it comes it will be our only chance. Our only chance to change the world.

Peace, Love & Harmony,
Christina
