Why a Global Conversation? | Steve Beckow

Why would one want to have a global conversation?
Because we need to reverse the paralyzing impact of millennia of divide and conquer;
Because the governments of the world have shown themselves wanting to kill off most of the planet and enslave the rest;
Because only global unity among people can fully and finally address the situation we face as a planet.
We as a world are composed of various groups, with globally-shared purposes.
The obvious are the desire to survive, to live in peace and freedom, to marry the partner of our choice, and to raise a family in ways they choose.
I’m fortunate to have grown up at a time that at least superficially appeared to be that way – North America in the 1950s. I took the peacefulness for granted and assumed the whole world was that way. Neither was the whole world that way nor would our peacefulness last.
The condition of peacefulness doesn’t widely exist at the moment and, in my view, it needs to be restored. Actually it doesn’t need to be restored. Peace is the cosmic default. Just as we are originally innocent. Peace and innocence are both qualities of the divine and our defaults.
It’s we that need to restore ourselves to peace.
Simply by expressing our assent to the restoration of world peace would be all that would be needed to send a wave through the collective consciousness which would both decide the matter and call in what W.H. Murry said was all manner of aid in the success of our project:
“All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have dreamed would come his way.” (1)
Readers of this blog have an idea of the extent of that assistance. I’m reminded of Elisha saying to his servant, who was frightened by the size of the opposing army: “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”
When Elisha asked for the servant’s eyes to be opened, the servant beheld legions of angels on the hilltops above.
Just so with us. The unseen world is more powerful than the seen. But it (usually) needs our open-eyed permission to intervene.
There’s much more to be said on all these subjects but even digesting this much may be asking a lot from many people, especially in the midst of such turmoil.

“Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

“’Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it.’” (W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.)
