The world is waking up, they say. Everywhere, everyone, all at once. Finally, the era of reckoning and awakening and connection and calibration is here. What is taking place right now is a mass divestment movement — people are moving away from the Empire and its evil, an event well anticipated by aspiring workers and citizens in the world.
The pace had, of course, accelerated after the tragic events of 9/11 which, despite their folly and machismo, signaled to the Empire and the people of the Empire that something needed to change, or the people of the world will impose change which they did violently at the time due to the absence of discourse and connection, and hence, power.
So far, so good.
However as more and more people begin to divest, we may realize that there are gaps being created where the new demand for right goods and services is not being met sooner. Or that, while we are looking around for alternatives in the economy, we are only going from that which supports the Empire to that which is inherently void of goodness. In fact, what is troubling is the excellence of some of the products and produce of the Empire. And this is when you awaken further to the fact that our excellent production is sometimes the product of cruelty and control.
And that is when you look at not just the entire supple chain, but also the paradigms held by the humans engaged in supply chain. Question of ethics and integrity arise. Issues of design arise. Health and mental wellbeing get center stage. This leads to the realization that the entire matrix needs to be shifted, and that our only way out is to return to the patterns of our nature, and seeing things for what they are, and choosing to serve them.
The socioeconomic vacuum that will be created when the Empire falls apart will make fulfilment rush in to fill the gap. Are we ready? Do we have frameworks for shift and change? Do we have a new outlook? New parameters?
The Salaam Matrix is one tool that can help at this time, to create a sense of grounding and connection. To return attention back to serving human needs, and helping humans fulfill their roles as guardians.
