Make Peace With Your Past and Uncover its Message

The unmistakable message communicated from my past revolves around the relative peace and security throughout my life. I didn’t grow up in a war ravished country with genocide all around me. I didn’t grow up in a third world nation with grinding poverty, disease, malnutrition or famine. During every moment of my life, I’ve always had enough to eat, I’ve always had a house over my head and I’ve always had amazing educational opportunities. I’ve never experienced the carnage of war first hand and I’ve never experienced what it’s like to be persecuted as an enemy of the state. I’ve been a witness to extraordinary leaps in technology from the computer revolution to our new improved perspective on the universe provided by the Hubble Telescope. I’ve traveled freely between the states of my nation with ease and noticed very little difference in the infrastructure from one area to the next. All this peace and prosperity in my life was made possible by living within states that came together to swear their allegiance and recognize a greater country beyond the limitted identity of their individual borders. Because of the long life of opportunity and peace that I’ve enjoyed, I feel an overwhelming conviction that everyone on the planet deserves to have the same. And the only likely way in which this will happen is if every nation state comes together as one to recognize and swear an allegiance towards the greater country of our planet Earth. It is my burden and duty to do everything in my power towards helping our world move closer to this reality. Even though I am only one voice among many and have limited means, whatever power I do have can be used towards contributing with others in creating the rain drops of unity needed to join with many more in starting the mighty waterfall of global revolution.

In order to move forward, one must first look back to overcome and make peace with their past. In my life, the greatest obstacle has been the scourge of Lyme disease. It came around 1993 and went undiagnosed until 1994. Ever since then, I’ve been taking antibiotics on and off, attempting to defeat what doctors tell me is a corkscrew shaped bacteria burrowing into my cells and brain tissues. Even today, I still feel the original effects and symptoms that have been eating away at my vitality for over 16 years. The Lyme beast remains a menace inside of me and I have yet to figure out how to defeat it. 

If I am to make peace with my past, I will need confidence that I can not only defeat this monster but also visualize beautiful dreams to be realized for a triumphant journey into the future. In order for my own individual future time line to be realized, I must first imagine a successful time line for the collective. How can one achieve their personal dreams if society crumbles around them in a fiery holocaust of World War? I have spent enough time imagining worst case scenarios in which everything goes wrong with the collective. From now on I will imagine scenarios in which things improve and humanity refrains from destroying itself. Even if such a visualization will never end up matching the real world time line which is ultimately unpredictable, there can still remain an overriding faith for humanity that stays strong even in the face of potential turmoil. If war erupts and several cities are nuked with the potential for more to follow, it wouldn’t be surprising within the context of human history as a whole and the cyclical nature of decline followed by renaissance and resurgence. But as long as worst case scenarios and our nightmares have not yet come to pass, there is freedom to imagine an alternative scenario in which we wake up in time to create a more desirable outcome. Imagining such a future goes hand in hand with the faith that the right people and conditions will come along at the right time to move humanity forward into a better place.
