We Are One
Humankind is at last awakening en masse to letting go of old destructive ways of thinking, of being. With so many of us now aware of the unlimited possibilities open to us when we let go of fears and insecurities that have held us back—awakening in numbers so vast as to have already caused a tipping point in our collective consciousness—no longer can humankind wantonly believe and act as if there aren’t any consequences for each and every choice we make.
Ideas, our thoughts—come first. Then … action follows.
Join me in sowing a few thought-seeds presented here. Consider this an exercise to start helping, instead of being part of the problem. How do we assist positive change? By first encouraging ourselves to become aware of our awareness. Art allows us to go more deeply within, without having to know answers. Try looking at this image and thinking:
We Are One
Just as the beautiful design of a fully-extended peacock’s feathers are so complex and intricate, but made up of various individual feathers — one person at a time, we are a blended family of humankind: one big family. We are all connected by an invisible web, as the Native Americans have long told us.
We continue to unite worldwide. How? By making a difference in the struggles of our times. How? By becoming more aware of the blendedness of our human family. How? One person at a time, we think: We Are One. With this positive focus, we turn from self-sabotaging, archaic patterns of disrespect and violence toward any Other. We heal the separation that’s happened from our true nature. And what’s our true nature? Love. How do we become more united? By remembering to love, not be filled with fear. This is how we become One family of humankind. These words and images—along with your own positive thought-seeds that you envision, think, and speak —contain a vast power I call spiritual activism.
Help the transformation of humanity from its primitive, violent infancy (comparatively speaking, we’re only in our species’ confused and insecure teens right now) to its naturally evolving, elevated state of species-wide enlightenment. Focus on higher things than the material world by letting go of needing to control or be controlled. By changing your thinking–alone!–together, we help uplift our species’ spiraling-upward evolution. Continue planting your own positive thought-seeds, one by one. That’s how each of us makes a difference in our needy world’s healing process.
Real change occurs by holding a positive thought, first. Then—action follows.
Hold the idea in your mind of a world that’s already been united. Then … reality catches up to the energy created by our collectively-held positive thought-seeds. Each and every thought we hold and cultivate, counts. If you think fear, terrible things will naturally be attracted to those scary thoughts. If you think Love, even so-called bad things will show, in time, that they are actually part of a benevolence you could never have seen at the time of their occurring.
Acts and words follow the thoughts we hold in consciousness. If we want a peaceful world, we need to change our thinking from fear to Love.
Sometimes we have to work a little harder to retrain our negative thinking, to be positive. Fake it till you make it. If you want the world to change, change your thinking.
Today, enlightened writers, civic leaders and scientists are catching up to what primitive sages and shamans started proclaiming eons ago, “Earth is an interconnected web.” Documented first in ritualistic art and then, these thoughts were written down in what came to be called, inclusively, sacred scripture.Now, along with history’s more visionary theologians and philosophers, scientists agree with mystics and visionary artists: the degree to which humankind harnesses our mental-and-spiritual energy, our creative possibilities evolve exponentially, ever more expansively.
Of this we can be assured: higher states of perception await us, when we unite as a human family, blended in all ways.
Instead of the bygone, relentless repetition of fear and control—and the incumbent negative thinking that that no-longer-relevant, fearful, contracted worldview perpetuates—we are now in the process of global transformation. This long heralded (by mystics) paradigm shift, I call global-local. Awareness starts with myself, spreads to those I’m in contact with, and in time, all of us, collectively, influence the way our entire world functions.
What we think, so we become.Plant a thought-seed, right now, of a bright future beckoning us. Believe that our creative energies are now free to focus on important new discoveries. Say No More to unresolvable, ancient conflicts. Believe that Love is powerful enough—to heal All. Then, believe this is all that’s needed: to think positive thoughts about our future.
Let’s fake it till we make it.
Remember: positive action follows positive thoughts. When we retrain our thinking to be forgiving and nurturing, all we have to do then, is live our life. Positive acts come from the creative inspiration of positive thoughts.

Thanks so much for these words which express exactly what I see happening in the world today. I particularly enjoy seeing this expression in your art work.
