Several opportunities emerge, as the people take to the streets and find themselves face-to-face with their brothers and sisters of law enforcement.

Opportunity #1: An opportunity to stand for…

“I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.” – Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa knew that when you take a stand against something, you inherently create an adversary and a controversy (a war), however, when you take a stand for something, no inherent enemy is defined. If we choose to polarize as groups or as individuals against other groups or individuals, or against ideas, beliefs, values, concepts, or principles, we then find ourselves engaged in the waging of war. In this context should we take a stand against: the banks, the fed, the bankers, the politicians, the wealthy, and the police, or would it serve the ends we wish to achieve by taking a stand for: freedom, the fiduciary responsibility/accountability of bankers, sound monetary systems/policies, and economic/political reform.

If we choose to take a stand for free, peaceful and lawful assembly and expression, we can see our brothers and sisters of law enforcement as partners in our endeavors, not as enemies. If our brothers and sisters of law enforcement take a stand for the safety and security of the people and the property in and around the events unfolding around the world, then they can see the people participating in these events as partners in their endeavors.

Rather then polarizing the bankers, the politicians, the wealthy, and the police as the “they” or “them” in the “Us versus Them” scenario we can stand as partners in creating a new world of possibilities.

Opportunity #2: An opportunity for love and respect

We have an opportunity to heal the dis-ease of the “Us versus Them” epidemic that has resulted in blame-fixing, finger-pointing, victimization, controversy, and adversarialism. The cure is simple, we cultivate an awareness of a “We are all in this together” paradigm. Instead of fearing, hating, despising, blaming, or disrespecting our brothers and sisters of: law enforcement, politics, banking, and affluence; we can begin loving, respecting, appreciating, forgiving, and understanding each other in the realization that there is only Us, there is no Them.

Opportunity #3: A New World Order

That’s right I said it, a New World Order, however, the New World Order I am speaking of is not a fear-based global fascists dictatorship. The New World Order I am refering to is a love-based global utopian free republic. The cause of unethical banking, unethical politics, war, poverty, and hunger is Fear. The same Fear that polarizes one group or individual against another ( i.g. Christians vs. Muslims, the Rich vs. the Poor, or Demonstrators vs. the Police ), sowing the seeds of fear will reap the harvests of fear.

The power of coherent energy has been demonstrated throughout history ( i.e. Group prayers and meditations that have manifested quantifiable results ), and scientifically proven (see, The Source Field Investigations by David Wilcock). Controversy is a product of incoherence. If we stand for a vision of a world defined by love, peace, and abundance, and we allow this vision to permeate through our thoughts, words, and actions, we will experience the power of coherent energy in action, which is manifestation.
