Let Us All Unite

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

-Charlie Chaplin

TEAM EARTH

Why can't we all just get along? This question often daunts me. The ideology behind it is so simple but the reality of it is most see it as "impossible." How sad is it that most people see World Peace as imaginary? In a world that is so "advanced" why is it so difficult to coexist with each other? It is simple to see that we are destroying this world we ALL live in. For what, to gain power? To control natural resources? For wealth? What do all these things mean when we are so scarce of our natural resources that money can't buy you food? Nothing. What power does a man with a million pieces of two by six paper marked one-hundred truly have? As of right now, all the power. The power to control what we eat, what we drink, what products we use, what's considered news, what PLANTS are drugs, what we can or can't do, what we "know" as FACTS. Anything else? The truth, sometimes the "truth" can be an elaborate lie passed down for centuries or more. To me the truth is what I perceive. I see a world full of humans trying to survive and killing the Earth in doing so which will eventually lead to their own demise. Such a paradox, isn't it? I also see a world full of hope. I see a millions of humans removing the blindfolds keeping them from seeing that we are all here together, we are all one and that together we can help the Earth survive and save humanity! We can rebuild a home for all of us to live harmoniously in! I CAN see millions waking up and standing up for WORLD PEACE and seeing it as a feasible goal! This place doesn't have to be the hell that we've created, it can be the heaven it was supposed to be.

WE ARE ONE

"We have much to do together.

Let us do it in wisdom and love and joy.

Let us make this the human experience."

-Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul

'WE' as in humanity, is surely awakening. But awakening and being upset about everything that is corrupt will only cause more corruption because the universe listens. I know things aren't perfect. I know that there's many wrongs in the world, but if we all focus on the bright side of things, and meditate keeping a positive mind we can overcome this much easier than trying to fight this physical war. 'Fight' the wars by being informing, by being positive that things will change. Read and learn more. Noticing what is wrong is only the beginning. We are humans. Meaning we have emotions, sometimes we let our negative emotions, such as anger drive us, but I feel that peace is what should drive us. Change in humanity is happening and it is surely for the best. People are becoming more aware of the powers controlling the masses. People are starting to show more love for the Earth which we live in. With peace and love we will prevail from what is now becoming a wasteland. Together we will rise to the occasions keeping our beautiful blue oceans clean, our lively trees standing tall, our repressed animals will be happy in nature again and our grand Mother Earth will once again flow in harmony. One step at a time. WE are all one UNIVERSE. WE are all connected. 

Namasté.
