My salvation comes from me.
No one is going to fix this but us. The people in power created this mess - how could they possibly understand how to change it? They are waiting for us to standUP for ourselves. This is the purpose of all darkness: liberation.
We have a choice before us. We can continue down the path we're on, or we can create another. In order to keep moving down the first, we must keep expecting someone else to save us. To start another, we must realize that it is your own self, that you are waiting for.
All of human history leads us to this point. Looking back, we can see the age of kings dwindle to its destrucion - ahead we see the birth of a new era, or we quite literally see nothing at all. Everything is at stake with this choice, our earth will not survive us. It's that serious. Our way of life is not only dying but it is dragging all life with it.
The time has come to standUP.
Stop waiting for the savior, for the politician, for the mayor to fix this for us. They won't. That's not their purpose. The entire world is waiting for you to come of age, this age - the age when-the-people-came-together. And it's easy. It's the one thing you've always wanted to do. You've had dreams of glory and heaven - let's make it! Let's do it! We can and we will!
But our current system does not allow this to happen. We must change the system. It's not about republican or democrat or socialist. It's about the ability to change course, to learn from mistakes, to reflect the evolution of society. We must enter into the process. The People must be a part of the conversation.

Why Change?
Let me not forget my function.
We are all transformers. With one foot in our imagination and the other walking down the street, each and every one of us has the infinite power to bless this world. This is our purpose.
Our collective consciousness is at the brink of a new age, where our lives are dramatically different because they must be. The world is ready - everything is just waiting for you. The bridge is built with the first question: why?
Why do we make these choices which lead us to disaster? Why do we continue down this path when every sign is telling us: stop; dead end ahead. Humanity barrels towards disaster because we have stopped asking why.
In order to change that way we do things, we must change the way we think. We must consider our beliefs and how they create our shared experience here on earth. Nothing will change unless we change, because we are the light of the world - we are the cosmic frequency the hologram reflects. The time has come to change.
Our systems of government do not give us the opportunity to extend this change. This cannot continue if we are going to survive. Everything is different now - every citizen has the opportunity to become educated within the palm of their hand. Every citizen has the ability to decide for his or herself how they would like to live their life. We must come together to build this bridge to the next era which awaits us so peacefully, so easily on the other side.
Our local government chambers will soon be filled with the People, the common everyday citizen - each one waiting to be heard so that we can get this show on the road.
Will you join us?

Why choose?
There is nothing to fear.
We are capable of doing anything that we want to do - and in fact, that is the bounty of this life. We are completely free to do as we choose, unless of course, we decide that we are not. Life does not deny us our freedom, we do. That's the whole trick, right there.
We have decided that we are okay with the system. We do not like the system, we do not believe in the system, we think it is corrupt (and very close to just plainly knowing it is so), - but we are pretty much okay with it. We are willing to be okay with this system simply becuase we are scared to be without it. We have decided that we can't quite figure out anything better than what we already got, so c'est la vie. I'll see you when I see ya - or you know, I wont - because the planet and everything on it will be dead.
That way of thinking is insane. Absolutely bat-shit crazy. We're so, so, so much better at this life stuff than that. You've got to give yourself more credit.
This is supposed to be fun, and once you step out of that self-imposed box, it is. Not only is it fun but homie, it is eeeaassy. The choice is up to you. Let's practice some policy questions:
Should we spend more money promoting war, or education?
Should we spend more time working, or maturing?
Should we take all that we can for ourselves, or share?
Should we depelete all our resources so the rich can get richer, or actively think of another way to do things?
Should we condemn the weak, or give them the tools they need to succeed?
Should we fight to be right, or should we forgive to be free (and happy)?
Do you still think we need to pay people exorbant amounts of money to figure this out for us?

Why local?
I am not a victim of the world I see.
It's easy to feel discouraged about the future. It's even easier to give up, and play into the crazy logic we are told is true: worry about the future becuase you have no control over it.
But its easiest just to give it up.
Rather than focus on the corrupt politicians, blaming them for our problems (all the while reinforcing our belief in their power) - let's talk about us. Let's talk about you. Let's talk about beautiful, infinite, brilliant you.
YOU are the rightful arbitor of destiny, and by this I don't mean the little "you" which considers itself, well, little. The big YOU is in there too; the one who is entirely confident and has never doubted for one moment that shit - we can do this. Shit, this is what we're supposed to have been doing all along.
Instead of organizing marches (although these are important too), let's organize our communites. Let's decide what it is we want, consider what we are doing, check to make sure its working (here's a hint: its not), and then make a plan. Our society is not working right now - the time has come to change the way we do things.
Together, through our local governments, we will fix this. Right now, our local governments are not governed by the People. Our elected officials operate entirely independently of the People's Voice. What is the People's voice? It's yours. It's hers. It's his. It's everybodys, which means its NOT just the businessman, NOT just the councilman and NOT just the rich man. We must begin to talk about our future together, so we can look forward to it. The time has come to standUP, America.
