Power Differential

Welcome back to World Consciousness

Power Differential

We see many of you are tired. You have been run through the mill so to speak. And then a tweak comes along to change the scene and instead of quieting your mind you are incensed, for a situation World Wide has gone on far too long. And this situation is a situation of power differential, certain groups feel they are more powerful, more entitled, and more valuable than others.

Missing Link

Those certain people need to uncover the missing link. This missing link is the link between all humanity. There is no power differential between you, it is only a manufactured one. And this manufactured power differential, has been the undoing of many societies the undoing of many civilizations.

A General Understanding

For once a certain group is ignored, once a certain group is feeling that their situation is deplorable, for no reason at all, they are bound to call the others out. The problem is history, and along with history is a general understanding. This general understanding is passed from one generation to the next. It is perplexing as to how similar views can pass down through the generations without questions.

The Youth are a Questioning Lot

For the youth are a questioning lot. And by and large they are no big into buying in to old beliefs. For it may come as some relief to many of you, they like to strike out and start something new. In many ways they would like to view history differently. As in they would like to make an impression, they would like to be remembered. And as a member of a new generation they see possibilities in the future that past generations could only dream of.

We Have Always Done it that Way

Technology aside there are many other sides to the human species. We are an innovative lot. But in many ways, we have bought the same old line, hook line and sinker. As in we’ve always done it that way, we ‘ve never though of doing it any other way. That would be thinking out of the box.

Reports Satisfy But a Few

And so far, we have been great at talking the talk, but not so great at walking the walk. So, we will put together commissions, we will put together advisory panels, we will put people on those advisory panels, they will come up with recommendations. It will be stretched out year after year. It will appear that we are attempting to make progress. But the bottom line is nothing has changed the reports pile up. Reports satisfy but a few. And in many ways talk is cheap, and reports steep in lots of talk. Now what’s missing in all of this is action.

 Reaction No Action

The problem right now is we have many who are going through what we would refer to as reaction. There is reaction happening now because no action has happened in the past. Reaction no action.

 The policies for change are simple. Hiring should be on an equal basis, that sounds simple enough. Pay everyone who does the same job the same wage, that also sounds simple enough.

Now in reality how does that actually happen?

But perhaps the question is how does that not happen?

How is it that some individuals who do exactly the same job as other individuals get paid less?

How is it that two individuals with exactly the same education and experience, one is hired the other is not?

One gets and interview the other does not. How do you explain away that disparity?

It goes further, people looking for a house two people apply, one person accepted, the other not. Applying for rent, one person is accepted the other is not.

Two people reacting to the same situation both equally excited, one is arrested the other is not.

Two people walking down a sidewalk talking openly, talking freely. One is pulled aside and questioned the other is not. How can you justify that?

What is the basis of your rational?

Two kids go missing, one is looked for, the other is not.

Two people are beaten for no reason at all, one person is taken to the hospital, the other is not.

How do you explain that?

Our Practices Need to be Displaced

Our practices that have been common place, need to be displaced, and be replaced with more equitable ones.

One child is shot in the street, there is a public uproar. One child is shot in the street and there is no news.

One individual dies in custody, the family is not informed. One individual dies in custody the family is informed. Why the disparity?

Two individuals go to join a club, one is accepted the other is not, their education is the same their experience is the same, their neighborhood is the same. One is accepted the other is not.

The Face of the Other

Many of you have caught the same cold, for you understand things as they are, rather than how they could be. You see if you get hired and another does not, you feel brought into the family of that work place. You do not look into the face of the other, who has uncovered the natural protocol.

We humans suffer immeasurably when we are not valued. It is a hurt we carry with us. And each time that hurt is reinforced it forces you deeper within. You feel you are devalued; you feel you are lesser. But on top of that it becomes a great stressor to your achievement levels, a great stressor to your emotional level, a great stressor to your life status level.

Walk in Another’s Shoes

All things being equal, all things being the same, we could call this by a different name. It could be called a new approach. For some it would be daring, for some it would be a reality check. For we never fully understand another person’s journey until we walk in their shoes. But you don’t need to walk in another person’s shoes to understand what continual abuse to the self-esteem does to another. For this my brothers and sisters is what we are talking about. The solutions are simple.

All Lives Matter

Now to follow through with those solutions, you need to dilute how you see. In other words, take those fogged up glasses off and look for greater clarity. For the message is clear, all lives matter.

Now we realize that is not the message that is coming out, but the spout of it is, because there is no recognition that all lives matter. The message that is coming out loud and clear is Black Lives Matter. Of course, Black Lives Matter, of course they do.

Tissue related Issue

Standing in the street calling out your issues, is a tissue related issue. For you are referring to skin pigments, rather than intelligence, rather than inventiveness, rather than ingenuity, rather than hospitality, rather than technological expertise, rather than sense of humor, rather than artistic merit, rather than global understanding, rather than big picture ideas, rather than above and beyond human understanding, rather than an exploratory nature, rather than an excitement for all causes, rather than a love of nature, rather than a love of animals, rather than a mechanical mind, rather than a  numbers person, rather than creative authenticity, rather than a fashion designer, rather than a decliner of offers, rather than a teacher, rather than a preacher, rather than an imam, rather than a rabbi, rather than there are so many qualities people have. Look at the person find out who they are.

See Beyond

See beyond the scar, see beyond their sightlines, see beyond your image of them, see beyond societies image of them, see beyond them, for they are a reflection of you. Understand that they are your mirror. Also understand that they are you. You are them. Now that should change your view because you are all in this together, forever. In your past lifetimes, in this lifetime and in future lifetimes, forever.

You are all Alike

Understand your connections, understand your ways of communication. For in many ways you are all alike. You have hopes, you have dreams you have desires, you have aspirations, you have contemplations, you have anticipations, you have sorrows, you have fears, you have inspirations, you have anger, you have love, you have symbols, you have dance, you have music, you have art, you have remembrances, you have ancestors, you have relations, you have connections, you have dreams, you have practices, you have hopes, you have wants, you have needs, you have interests, you have friends, you have partners, you have brothers, you have sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, as well as those who have passed, as well as those who are almost here, let us be perfectly clear you are very much alike.

The Richer We Are

Now the next time you walk down the street and you meet a new face, contemplate the grace of that face, contemplate the story of that face, contemplate the experiences of that face, contemplate the knowledge of that face, contemplate that face all of that person. We have so much to teach each other. Each of us are like threads in the cosmos. The more interconnections we make, the richer we are. By richer, we are not referring to monetarily. What we are referring to is a richer understanding of the way things are not the way things ought to be, but the way things are. To have a better understanding of the way things are those interconnections are of paramount importance. For each person’s story combines with another. For each story is linked one way or another. Therefore, you will discover there are many who you are in sync with. Now it is true some people you are drawn to and some people you feel repelled by, it’s strictly a part of magnetism, that’s it that’s all.

Flooding Knowledges

Some people you feel drawn to immediately, you don’t know why, you don’t know when, but you feel a familiarity with them. Where they come from does not matter, male or female does not matter, age does not matter, the realm of possibilities are endless we have so much to learn from each other, one just needs to uncover the right question to ask. For the right question that is asked can open up the flask of flooding knowledges. Now once that question is asked it’s like a key that has opened the door. The key that has opened the door has allowed another to explore and in many cases release. For once that door is open a connection is made. For the question has displayed an interest in.

Now some of us are shy, some of us are overbearing, some of us say few words, but our wisdoms are deep. And when those people speak, the rest are steeped in anticipation. Some are quiet, some are boisterous, some love nature, others love the city, some love quiet, others like noise, some love music, some love art, some love inventing, some love taking apart, some love to lead, some love to proceed behind another, some are gatherers of information, some are givers of information, some love to build, some love to take apart, some love celebration, others love the quiet of the moment, some love repletion, some love only once, some have a bounce in their step; some walk in measured paces, some carry a chip, some like to skip, some sing along, some don’t like that song, some argue some agree, some protest, some listen, some sweat, some glisten, some work out, some relax. There are so many aspects of yourselves to see, to know, to anticipate, to contemplate, to cogitate, to ingratiate, to even over state, we are a varied lot. We can learn so much from each other.

Cast a Long Line

Now take out your fishing rod cast a long line, and you may do this time and time again. And each fish you catch on the line will enrich your life, for each individual is just that, an individual, but yet each individual is a mirror of you, for each individual is a part of you.

 

We Are Not in Charge

It is like the weather some days are rainy some days are sunny, some days are stormy some days are quiet, some days are hot, some days are cold, some days the rain drips ever so softly almost like a mist, some days the rain comes so fast it lasts and lasts, the water becomes deeper, the problems become steeper, nature takes over. The weather has so much to teach us for we are not in charge. We by in large can affect the weather, but we do not control it.

You Have So Much to Learn

As a species you have so much to learn. And learn you will if you stand at the top of the hill, the bottom of the hill the middle of the hill, look down look up look all around. The horizon may be the same but what’s that sound?

What’s in view, what effect does it have on you?

How is the weather, is it time to get together?

Where is the place, that we will grace the meeting at?

What does that hat tell about you?

Or is that someone else’s view?

Have you created that view on your own or have you been taught it from another zone?

Do you reexamine what you have been taught?

Or once it has been bought, do you put it away for safe keeping, so you can take it out for each and everyday and display it as the general understanding of life?

Or do you strive to understand, do you strive to expand?

Or do you just sit and watch the world go by?

Spy an upheaval, and yet do you retrieve a solution, or do you just put it down to pollution?

The Problem Belongs to all of You

As in that’s not my issue; that’s not my problem. Well my dears let us be perfectly clear, the problem belongs to all of you. You need to each see a different view. For the old view is part of you, but as an exploratory you a questioning you, you are capable of change. And you are capable of a societal rearrangement.

Silence is Not an Option

Silence is not an option. The time to question is now, the time for suggestion is now, the time for contemplation is now, the time for direct questions is now, the time for repeating is now. As well as the time for exceeding the way it presently is. As in going beyond the way you see the world and looking out to another. For you will uncover a greater richness that is there. For although you may not see it yet, it is there waiting, waiting, waiting. Allow yourself to receive and believe in change. For the time is right the time is now.
