- The Opportunity within the Economic Crisis
- "We now have the Opportunity
- to Live the Most Meaningful Lives
- Any Generation of Humankind
- Has EVER LIVED!"
- We're living in a time of economic crisis.
- We're living in a time when the economic system,
- the money system itself, the markets are unravelling.
- And this is a very frightening time for people.
- At the same time, if we can recognize that what is unraveling
- is that which has no viability.
- What is unraveling is that which is not sustainable.
- Practices, ways of being with money,
- markets that are not based in true value any longer
- are starting to fall apart.
- If we can see that what's happening is a truing, is a recalibration,
- it helps us see how to deal with it on a personal basis.
- It doesn't mean it's not going to be painful; it doesn't mean that there's not suffering;
- it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be paying close attention to how we use money.
- But if we look on a larger scale, if we step back from the personal trauma,
- the fear, that we're all caught in and that the media's caught in,
- and see that we're living at a time of enormous excess
- that has created financial structures and systems that are inappropriate
- and completely unsustainable.
- And now they're falling apart.
- We’ll know that, at the end of this, we're all going to be better for it,
- because we're going to be in a truthful, more accurate, more integrous (appropriate)
- relationship with our self, with money and with the resources on this planet.
- We can get through this.
- It's a difficult time. I don't deny that.
- But it can also be a beautiful time.
- Because we can move towards thrift rather than accumulation;
- we can move toward appreciating what we love rather than being afraid of what we've lost.
- We can focus our attention and intention not on what we're losing,
- but on what we already have that's so valuable and nourishing to us.
- And we can stop clamoring for more of what we don't really need
- and take care of what we have.
- This is a time that I think history will look back on and say,
- “These are the people, this is the generation of humankind,
- that made the changes that went through a transformation
- that made the future of life possible.
- These are the people who had the courage to make profound changes
- in the way they were thinking--as well as in the way that they were behaving--
- that gave the future to life itself."
- So, I'm privileged to be living at this time.
- I'm excited about being the generation that goes through this courageous period.
- It's a gift, it's a blessing; a tough one,
- but something that will create the profound transformational change
- that's absolutely necessary and required for us to have a future on this planet.
- Be the Generation
- That Makes
- The Future of Life
- POSSIBLE
