Some people might read this book and say, “Oh yeah? Well what about starving children in Africa? Are they poor because their consciousness is unaligned with love?” I’d like to take this opportunity to respond to that. Starving children in Africa are not poor because their consciousness is misaligned with love; they’re poor because ours is.The Law Of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson, p.xiv
The alignment of consciousness with Love is not only an individual phenomenon; it is social, communal, nondualistic. No person is an island; homo sapiens is a social animal. In spite of our illusional, egotistic idea that we are individuals, we are radically dependent on others constantly for our existence. We are drops of the ocean and think we have a separate existence but we are nothing without the ocean from which we have become separated.
When we become aware of social injustice, poverty, what we consider evil in the world something has gone wrong. The system is out of whack, off kilter, needs an adjustment. We need to recognize, acknowledge, appreciate, and care for the Transcendent Source from which our separate ego selves have emanated.
We can take a few minutes of silence today and remember that which sustains our consciousness which is a part of the All and do what we can to help our brothers and sisters around the planet..
