Empowerment is the buzz world for our day. “Oh yeah?” you may say. “How so? It looks like the world may be going to hell in a hand basket”. (I do occasionally hear these kinds of remarks).
I personally am so excited and hopeful that we are at a time of great awakening. We are awakening from the nightmare that we have created by being asleep to our Core, Who we really are.
There is the “Mental Me”, then there is the “Magnificent Me” (distinct difference so don’t let the ego trip you up here). Many people look at the current generation of young people and think that they are a “lost generation”.
Actually, each generation tends to say this about the prior generation to a degree anyway. The distinction though is that this generation does have access to a lot of information and technology that prior generations did not have.
There is much potential good to be had from this technology, yet of course, there is a lot of potential for destruction as well. I have put my faith on the side of the good, the Light, as while it is true that there is a dark side to humanity, there is also the presence of even greater Light – once you see and perceive it from within.
There are many out here who want to “save” this so called “lost generation”. Yes, we definitely need to do what we can to inspire and help others. This of course will naturally flow out of our own inner healing.
If we take care of our own backyard and pull up our own weeds, we can have better soil to grow beauty in the garden of our own minds. Then of course we will be in a better position to help others as they tend to their own garden. Hence the answer is not in playing the role of “rescuer”.
“Physician, heal thyself” and then you can help others. Another thing I have noticed about this “lost generation” is there is also a rising up of a group that is outright visionary, courageous and powerful.
This group can tell the “older generation” a thing or two, that’s for sure. So before we start judging the youngsters to be so messed up and lost, maybe we should change our focus to adjust to notice those forces that are also rising up on the side of the Light of humanity.
Here is a very powerful video I came across on YouTube that is produced by someone from this “lost generation”, hence the video is also called, “The Lost Generation”.
Read along with the words on the screen and notice what happens. I would ask, who is empowering whom? See, it’s not the generation you were born into in terms of physical years on the planet. What matters is the content of your heart and character and this knows no generational lines.
Yes, we are living in empowering times, if you stay present, pay attention and stop projecting forward your fears and anxieties. Now is the time to Empower Up and Play Big. Winning at life comes, from the inside out!
