How To Stop World Hunger ....... Easily?!
7/6/07
There was a time, in my recent past, that I believed that in order to create a true balance of resources (food, shelter, clothing, education, transportation, and employment), the rich would have to surrender/sacrifice some aspects of their materialism. People voluntarily choosing to reduce their material consumption and share with those "less fortunate" is an ideal I held close to my being.
However, I have figured out another way :-)
* Fall in Love With Saving Lives *
It is an old spiritual tool often overlooked for more complex practices/teachings, which often have unattainable goals given our busy,privileged lifestyles. Visualization is what I propose.
We are spiritually sophisticated enough to comprehend the magic of this act of will.
It is incumbent upon us to utilize this knowing to make life beautiful for everyone!
What is offered to you here is an opportunity to CREATE for others in the midst of your daily activities.
Before writing this final draft, I tried to do it myself to assess the level of difficulty or ease this task would be. So when I sat down to eat my delicious sushi, I desired to get SO present that with each bite I visualized starving children being nourished. It was amazing how quickly I went back to eating unconsciously.
* It Is Often Easier to Fight For Ones Principles that to Live up to Them *
I thought it would be easier, I mean my heart is in it. Being compassionate, focusing my intention proved to need more effort than I had anticipated. Ah, I thought we, the privileged ones, have an attitude of take, take, take, me, me, me; this patterning would have to be addressed. So, with myself included, let us embark upon this journey of conscious visualization for the betterment of all while we indulge in our lives. May we be conscious in our heart and mind, and may our lives be the expression of that awareness.
When We Are Eating: be of a grateful heart, see bellies full, think of a starving child and send him/her a miracle, see him living and not dying, eat slower, be grateful, chant may all be fed; hold hands at the table and wish for balance of resources. There are three meals a day and snack, lots of chances to change the world. We can have OUR cake and eat it while everyone else also gets dessert.
When We Are Sleeping: appreciate your shelter, the warmth of your bed, the safety from the elements. See families seeking shelter finding it, see a cold child being wrapped up in warm blankets and sleeping in his/her first bed.
When We Are Shopping: be grateful, buy necessities: cut back on luxury spending to put forth your intention for balance, as you and your kids pick out clothing and stuff for the home, see kids all over the world dressed in their first new outfit feeling beautiful or handsome, and cry for what you have done, see parents with jobs to provide for their little ones, see no more unemployment lines.
When We Are Working: be thankful for your work/vocation; see parents with jobs to provide for their little ones; see no more unemployment lines; don't complain about your chosen profession or lifestyle for you are the one that chose it; be happy you have the option to choose; desire deeply for all to be employed and educated as we were; see excited adults getting their first job maybe they are jumping up and down.
* We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For *
When We Are Dressing or Undressing :-) ))))); instead of saying that you have nothing to wear, realize that is not the truth, see naked bodies of children clothed with love, love everyone for real!
When We Are Drinking Water (bottled, tap, filtered): pray and visualize that dehydration anywhere is eliminated anywhere; see drinking water flowing from unexpected places to all that need; see pilots dropping off bottled water everywhere that needs it; see people laughing as they get hit gently in the head with water bottles and feel their excitement as they learn how to open the top; see the eyes of children having their first full bottle of water; be in awe of your ability to do this !
* For It Is Better to Give than Receive *
When we Are Driving: let people in front of you, be kind and grateful, see kids who walked miles to their school being picked up by a new school bus; see their excitement; see used vehicles being donated to anyone who needs it; be happy you are a creative being with such power!
When We Are Breathing, Walking, Talking (add your own): know that you have wealth unimaginable if you have health; see no one suffering in the body unnecessarily; see kids traveling 200 miles to get a pill for malaria, getting there on time and not dying; feel the emotions of that mother/father when their child is saved; see doctors going to all the places that need them; see airplanes filled with medicine arriving everywhere that needs, feel the exaltation of people seeing themselves alive and not dead!
Take steps and see all walking, breathe consciously and see all breathing well, appreciate ALL that you can do; teach your children they can save this world
*Teach your children they can save this world *
Obviously this style of creating will expand exponentially the more we DO IT. See the troops coming home; minimize your diet of violence (TV, news, movies, conversation, and reactions); see peace/speak peacefully, send love to everyone (that means everyone)Until war has ceased within, it will exist no matter who the leaders are . Realize and appreciate the freedom that we Do have, Be grateful for the liberties we have, be grateful period.
Global warming: blow kisses to the planet especially when you are in nature, send the planet love not agendas, anger, and the self-absorbed desire to be right; be more gentle for your mouth breathes this earth; reduce travel of any kind; be kind, fair, and compassionate so your own energetic pollution does not contribute to the apparent imbalance in the natural world; paint a picture of the earth in its perfect state and believe it is going back to its perfection; know that the earth has its own inherent wisdom ; maybe mother/father earth is pissed at us; maybe the core truth behind global warming is that we are not nice enough; be nicer; be grateful for where you live and what is provided to you. Know that the balance of the earth IS the balancing of the earth; all will be fine if we love, believe this!
When I was a kid I used to say "mommy the clouds in the sky are sad thoughts and when it gets too heavy it will rain and God will cry .........." Hmmmmmmmmmm
If you are not a good visualizer, speak or write your intention.
Be sure to find the visualization that best raises you to that place of creating powerfully/powerfully creating and email me with your unique ways of being at [email protected] ([email protected]) . May we continue to find and create ideas and implement them for the welfare of all ; that All being ONE>
By doing this conscious visualizing, you are, in action, remembering that we are all one and you are nourishing the other parts of you.
All of our typical excuses for not Doing is Time ...wellthat has been removed. Your actions, prayers, thoughts, intentions, and conscious visualizing occurs simultaneously with your life (while you eat, sleep, work, breathe...). No need to plan, Just Live and Others Will Live too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the day this was originally written, I have been focusing on the food I eat. I said today, may all be fed, may there no longer be a need to sponsor children. I ate and slowly Felt all nourished. I pray that I can continue to wake up and become the best lover possible so that ALL live and live beautifully!
With all my love, Betina G. Mansbach
