Words from
Zo LaMantia
I believe this is a crucial
time in the history of
America and the world. It is an era of profound
transformation, in which we have the opportunity
to shift from an old paradigm, which is clearly not working, to
a new paradigm… if we have the awareness and the courage to
face this challenge, and seize this great opportunity.
The old paradigm is the mainstream corporate, political, medical,
religious and educational system of today, which is doing more harm
than good, and on the verge of collapse. It is built upon a foundation
of manipulation and deceit. It is a system (collectivism)
in which the people of the world have allowed themselves to relinquish
their independence and self-reliance, and become dependent on this
system
to take care of them, and run their lives.
The old paradigm was
built upon the foundation of the feelings of helplessness, hate
and fear, which people were conditioned to believe was a reflection
of the true nature of their world. It was “us against them”
and “them against us”. The traditional school system,
the media, and every segment of the mainstream corporate/government
system consistently reinforce this message.
The new paradigm will
be a world where people reconnect with the source of their power,
which is within each and every one of us. As a result, it will be
a world where the people take back control of their lives, their
families, their communities, their governments and their planet.
We are in a revolution,
but it is a revolution of consciousness. It’s a revolution
of the mind, in which people wake up to the truth of how we have
been deceived and manipulated, the truth about our real power, the
truth of our oneness.
“In
order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to
be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do
not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize
us”.
Thich Nhat Hanh
No matter what race,
religion, creed, or national origin,
Remember… We
Are One!
