The Evolution of the Human Spirit Will Continue…With… Or Without Us…

The evolution of the human spirit continues on its journey with each challenge that presents itself in the world around us… With each obstacle that is placed before each member of the human race…we are faced with the opportunity to place ourselves into the shoes of those who find themselves on the receiving end of “man’s inhumanity to man,” and given the choice to experience what is being perpetrated, and how we would react.

After the first two world wars, checks and balances were not put into place to keep more powerfully equipped nations to also have checks and balances to avoid what is taking place at this moment with Russia’s attack on Ukraine.  NATO must realize that any act of aggression which causes any country deciding that they are going to overtake another country, using veiled excuses to do so, is an act of war on all peaceful nations.  There can be no other way to stop such aggression except by meeting the aggressor with like aggression.

While nuclear war and world war is definitely what is needed to be avoided…the world may find themselves on that precipice despite efforts to avoid it.

Acts of war that have been initiated by Putin’s Russia should have been anticipated during the Cold War decades ago, with checks and balances put into place on world powers, at that time, looking forward.  Russia’s power to veto, as all super powers with such a “weapon” should have had neutral nations given that ability to ‘neutralize’ such a power of veto when it could be used as it was, to “justify” a monstrous attack on a peaceful country…wishing nothing more than their freedom through their choice of democracy.

The human spirit is being tested on morality and the realization that all humanity is connected…regardless of how divisions and separatist actions are constantly being imposed upon us…by one another…

We are being challenged to take a good look at us and how we respond to conditions that only we as humanity can stop…or continue to allow…by what dwells within the confines of ourselves…in the depths… or shallowness of our souls…or…if we really have a heart…and soul…to feel and use our compassion and resolve to step up and do what is right…Have we fallen so far away from the light of our spirits?

Racism is one of man’s ugliest and costliest use of evil…on every level of living…

There is no justification for Racism…ever!  There is no argument for Racism…ever!

There is no superiority or privilege that justifies any act of racism against ANYONE who does not look like you…ever!

What we are witnessing in these continued attacks of racism upon groups targeted by such hatred are nothing less than pure evil…which we condone…if we do not take the stance to stop it in its tracks.  Take off your “coat” and see that under that coat of skin…every human being is the same…organs…blood…bone…tissue…when donated, can give continued life to another…regardless of color…creed…culture…or religious beliefs…

The continuity of the human spirit is reflected in how we respond to life…and one another.  Our evolution of spirit…is what will ensure the continuity of humanity…only if we can really comprehend that destruction and the indiscriminate treatment of dismissing lives due to “appearances”… collateral damage…or casualties of war…will only hasten humanity’s demise…and perhaps our planet as well.

We are the architects of our future…We must trust the light which dwells within us to elevate our spirits to embrace what is true and just…and act upon that flame which brings about the freedom and peace…that we claim to live for…

The world is changing…so are we…and our spirits are reflecting the change that we are striving to become…Our actions will reveal how we are changing…

In the shadows of savagery and evil…

Or in the light of love and salvation…preserving the best of humanity…

Peace and unity will come…

When we step out of the shadows…

Into the light…

The human spirit is a powerful entity…

Let yours take flight…

With or without us…

The evolution of the human spirit…

Will prevail….

Your time is here.

The change is in a twinkling of an eye…

Are you ready?

You are the key to Peace…..

The 7 Kwanzaa Principles Are Universal…

Today, December 26, begins the celebration of Kwanzaa, until January 1, 2022.

Each day is dedicated to one of the seven principles which are as follows:

  1. Umoja – Unity
  2. Kujichaguilia – Self-Determination
  3. Ujima – Collective Work and Responsibility
  4. Ujamaa – Cooperative Economics
  5. Nia – Purpose
  6. Kuumba – Creativity
  7. Imani – Faith

These seven principles, or Nguzo Saba in Kiswahili, are universal in their practice and purpose…something we can all engage in dedicating ourselves to observe and practice…everyday.

This is the time for families and communities to come together to remember the past and to celebrate African American culture…The diversity of humankind declares in every voice…every holiday observed…in every Race…Creed…and Culture…the importance and contributions…the struggles…atrocities…victories…losses…successes…any and all imaginable hills…valleys…mountains and challenges…human created…or created by forces out of humankind’s control…have concluded with survival and the recognition of the best of the human spirit…in the community and family of human beings…known as the Human Race.

Let us choose a principle…or all seven, and practice making significant contributions to the growth and continuity of our human family and communities…

We must learn to understand and embrace our connectivity to one another….celebrate it…nurture it…protect it…respect it…love it.

It has never been about declaring “separatism” in any form…yet we have come to create schisms to stand apart and divide our family…and our communities…

God or the force you believe to accept…created diversity to test the human spirit…to test it’s acceptance of beauty…and how it is defined…in your eyes…In God’s eyes…the beauty of every diverse creation is loved…cherished…and uplifted…God does not differentiate…the condemnation comes from the lack of love….How deep and comprehensive is humankind’s understanding and practice of Love?

Start by celebrating Kwanzaa…the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa are Universal…

Educate yourself to the beauty of diversity…

Strive to understand…and practice the multiverse of Love…

Happy Kwanzaa!!!!

a day
