Us and them is an interesting concept. I've been experiencing this in many ways this week. The World Cup is where it's more about coming together as separate nations with playful competitive cheers and jeers. The Spill in the Gulf has the public, corporations, and the government in power struggles. I've observed numerous discussions online about democrats vs. republicans, liberals vs. conservatives, the metaphysical community vs. main stream, etc....... Is it bad to view things as an us and them? Now you know I'm going to say yes and no.
Yes. In viewing situations as an us and them we alienate ourselves. It makes us be insensitive to the needs of them. It objectifies people as a group so you no longer need compassion for them. It is how we compare ourselves and judge others. It allows us to be righteous and disconnected. It creates a space value or devalues what we have and who we are. This also makes it so we do not have to look at our responsibility in the situation.
No. In viewing situations as an us and them we help define ourselves. It connects us to a group of like minded individuals allowing for the empowerment of the group. It opens us to trust and rely on others as well as help those on a similar path. It allows us to see in others what lies within us. We can look in the mirror of the group and pull from its strength. It makes us work together for a common good.
Sometimes it's the thems that make you push harder for your own good. They remind you why you make the choices you do. Not in judgment of their choices, just knowing what is right for you. Let their energy be a sign of what you don't want/need/choose. It is not anything you have to work against. You can have what ever you want/need/choose. It is just a motivator to stay on your path taking the steps you know you need to take.
You are changing the world. Join us. We are changing together!

Imagine a world where money was no longer the means of exchange of services but rather love and enthusiasm as its primary exchange. A world full of love and so much diversity that each individual’s enthusiasm became the driving force behind one’s life work and one’s life work was as distinctive as one’s own fingerprint. A world where every job and every service had its own caretaker that performed its tasks with so much love and care they freely wanted to giveaway these services. Tell me? What would this world look like? A world of harmony and service where all needs were met and provided by someone that was just as equally grateful to give as well as they were ready to receive. A world of haves without the not’s. A world of abundance without the lack. A world of love without the suffering. Can you imagine this?
