I am as sacred as my being.
Being sacred is existing in a state of belief in the truth everything happens for a reason and there is a story always being revealed. Being sacred is honoring the life process. Being sacred means using honor and respect as your measure of living in a power balanced life. Being sacred is committing to the highest good of life for all who are involved in the life process. Being sacred means to be willing to have thoughts of self-promotion and then deciding to do the right thing of supporting the whole rather than just the individual. Sacred is being a person of integrity and not being afraid to be labeled as having faith and being love in action, being compassionate. In true sacredness, there is no sacrifice because every act of being in the process of living life creates and supports the expansion of life.
Being sacred means staying dedicated to the process of the evolution of the human story, from creating change which turns into transformation. We cannot have transformation unless we as individuals are willing to become transformed. Change is a constant and is an intricate part of human life, along with the natural life of evolution which supports it as a people and a planet. Sacredness is being devoted to a cause.
I am as revolutionary as my thoughts and actions.
I am a revolutionary who fearlessly advocates social change for the betterment of the society. As a man involved in the transformation of our modern society, I use my sense of sacredness in an attempt to move us from ancient into the modern. The historical existence of the village, the caring and supportive grouping of human beings, is a structure that allows every member of the society to have a purpose and a reason to participate within the society. I feel it is a revolutionary act to use ancient rituals of living to support today’s modern life.
In a tribal society, the sense of being loving is one of having a need to be a part of and a desire to be connected as a whole. Love is based on the giving and the taking because love is cyclical.
In order to receive love, you have to be love. Love gives you a sense of having personal worth and when that state of worthiness is known, there is a willingness to stay connected to the tribal whole. We as individuals gain our sense of self within our social circle of being needed or being of service to the community we live in. Each and everyone has come into the world with a gift to share with our human community.
I am a human being.
In the midst of my being, I must be present for the gifting of life. To be present means you must be aware of who you are and how you fit into your individual society. To be present means you listening with a compassionate ear and are willing to act in accordance to your awareness. Your goal is to support human life, as you support yourself. Human life is based on the circle of giving and the receiving of loving acts. In response to my society, I choose to give back because I have been given life. That simple statement is a statement of being a revolutionary in action.
I breathe as another has a breath. I cry as another wipes my tears. I walk as another follows my steps. I follow the footprints of so many who have come before me. I bleed as another bleeds the same blood that we each share. I am a human being living in this life, as a tree, an animal and plant is living in this life. Life is a gift of love because we are born of the seed and womb of our parents, following their joining, in an act of being loving. Our lives become sacred because of our being and our birthing. As a father, I would love for my daughter have a better life than I have had, in order to continue the evolution of our species. I want my life to be honored, so I attempt to live an honorable life.
I live my gift of life as a revolutionary by being a man of love, a man living in solution.
I live a life of service by using my gifts I have come into the world with. I live a life of supporting myself to enable myself to be able to support another human being. My hand fits within the hand of another, no matter what size or color. It is revolutionary to be loving in our modern society because we are living entitled lives in this advanced technological society. Remember the footsteps of those who have come before us is a revolutionary act of being present for the gifting of life. There would be no you without my me. We are of one body with so many parts. There is no life without death and no joy without hate…no lotus flower without the mud it was birthed in. We understand love because of lack, just as there is the relationship of the night with the day. We live in the shadows as well as in the light. In truth, we are one organism operating in cooperation of one another in an attempt to achieve balance. To remember these facts is revolutionary in itself and it makes life sacred.
I am as sacred as my being.
