The
growing heart in global politics
Here we stand at the threshold of the new Age of the Heart.
We look to our leaders to point the way, to guide and direct. To do so in the
current climate of world politics is to be filled with despair. Where are our
leader of courage and conviction? Where are our leaders of impassioned principles
and humanitarian values? Where are our leaders with foresight and breadth of vision?
If the political horizons seem bereft of hope, don't despair.
Instead
let us pray for leaders of the heart to emerge in every continent, in every democracy,
in every emerging democracy, in every nation. When we, with one heart and one
mind, begin to pray for leaders of the heart to emerge, it will happen. Take for
example the dormant bulb of a lily, sitting in the cold winter soil, awaiting
the warmth of the spring sunshine. The sunshine is like our prayers. Slowly, surely,
inch by inch the sun reaches into the subsoil and awakens the life inherent within
the bulb of the lily. Day by day the early spring sun shines. The bulb begins
to be filled with life, you might say with hope. This analogy can be applied to
all forms of public life and society in general.
Don't
focus upon the negativity you see in public or political life. Focus instead upon
the emerging heart in the global political. Through such a focus, leaders of vision,
of heart, of empathy with a willingness to right the wrongs within society will
appear. These leaders are the vanguard of the New Humanity who are appearing in
every arena of public life.
New
leaders will be appearing in the realms of science, education, politics, religion,
economy, the arts, medicine and psychology. These new leaders of the heart will
gradually emerge and, like the lily, stand in all their radiant beauty in their
own fields. What we have to do now is remember that we are currently in the depths
of winter on earth. The winter of the old Piscean age has just begun to turn.
So use your prayers,
your faith, your hope, your dreams, your actions and we will see the new leaders
of Earth emerging. More and more people of good heart and sound mind will take
the central role in communities, in governments in organisations. Maybe you are
one of these good people. Maybe you have been considering standing up to be counted
in your area of interest or specialisation. What are you waiting for? If you heart
calls you to take a stand for good of a common cause, for the good of true social
principles, for the inalienable rights of the oppressed - what are you waiting
for? The new leader of Earth are here now. They just have to realise their potential
and stand up and be counted.
If
we can all stand up and be counted in our areas of expertise or calling then the
world will turn towards the new spring, the New Day which is dawning all over
earth. Just as surely as the lily will emerge from frozen earth to shine her radiant
countenance towards the Sun so our world and it's people will turn their faces
to the Sun. This sun is hope, this sun is courage, this sun is the willingness
to stand and be counted. Look to the future.
