  • Resumen

  • Today I want to explore how political correctness as we see it playing out today is influencing our lives individually and collectively. And how do we break free from the bondage of being defined by specific segments that society has thrust upon us. I think we can all agree that we're living in a time when it's not convenient to speak your mind. The political correctness police are everywhere from our national media in our advocacy groups and in almost every segment of society that wants to separate itself out and be offended by anyone who has a differing opinion.As a result we are not freely speaking our minds and hearts, which incidentally is not only the freedom we're all meant to enjoy, but it is also the foundation of a government by the people. We see that if someone dares to speak their truth, particularly if it doesn't align with the prevailing thought, but even if it does there are many, many from various quarters that are ready to heap their condemnation and in some cases rage upon that one. So divided we have become and it's not helped with social media, that impersonal way to criticize someone else.Interestingly enough even if you are hailed by many for speaking your truth and begin to become a popular voice truly reflecting people's views, there are the ever vigilant watchers who just wait for you to slip and say something that can be twisted and construed as being offensive to some individual or segment of society. Then begins the destruction of a character or a career that might otherwise have helped lead us to a higher way of thinking and living. Or worse yet, take your statements out of context or twist them until you don't even recognize them and then push an agenda that hardly even matches your original intent.Unfortunately, we have separated ourselves so much from each other that we no longer respect the viewpoints and perspectives of our fellow citizens let alone others from differing cultures when they do not agree with ours. That's the key word here respect. Rather than seeing diversity as the balanced contribution to a society that governs itself, diversity has become divisive.It separates races, nationalities, age groups, political views, lifestyle choices, and just about any other aspect of life you can think of. All of this keeps us collectively focused on agitation, turmoil, and confusion rather than on how we and our neighbors can enjoy prosperity and happiness. So, we must ask ourselves what are we afraid of? How is it that we have become so conditioned that we do not trust ourselves or one another? How have we gotten to this point and what can we do about it? Well, this is the age-old tactic of divide and conquer as I see it, and we've fallen for it again and this time really in a much bigger way.Our society has become sliced up into segments that everyone wants to neatly place each of us in their little box in proper place. But ask yourself what exactly defines you as a person? Is it your race, your gender, your religion, political beliefs, family, career, economic level?Aren't these all elements of who you are but does any one of these or even all of them together really define you as a person? Or are all of these things just you expressing yourself in this life? It's really time to dig deep within your heart and soul and discover who you are and what you're meant to contribute to this world, if you've not already done that. Now it may be as simple as fulfilling a career, raising your family, or simply being a light unto the world.But whatever it is, it's time to discover it, and speak your truth. William Shakespeare in Hamlet said, “This above all to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man.”But who or what is thine own self? Who do you think you are? No doubt you and probably just about everybody else has asked the question at one time or another, Who am I? I know I have, and it began at a young age for me. It's through this exploration that I've learned how to tap into a greater part of myself that is not visible in this physical world.As we explore this question of who we are, let's take a look at the world we are living in right now and some of the current thoughts about who we are, and how sometimes common sense is lost with some of our beliefs by which we have constructed our reality.Take for instance quantum science. It tells us that everything is a manifestation of energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. So from a scientific perspective, energy is a common denominator of all things in our physical universe. The Big Bang Theory suggests that at some point all matter in the universe was contained in a single point.Now look at our spiritual traditions. They refer to the source of life, or God, as light. The concept that there's but one God, one light, one source, from which all things were created parallels the scientific concept of all things being a ...
