It’s
not quite your traditional activism, not a political, social, or
spiritual movement, it is actually all of the above and that’s why it’s
called
Unify. It
is beautiful, it is inspired, it is inviting, it is fun, and best of
all it is absolutely needed more than ever on our big blue planet. This
is something that a growing wave of people are beginning to wake up to
everywhere.
Unify has been organizing globally synchronized moments of
prayer/meditation since September 2012, and the diverse people/movements
who have been mobilizing for change covers all spectrums around the
globe. Unify organizers have been inspired and fueled by many many
different movement (#OWS, #idlenomore #forwardonclimate and others) who
have a deep love for justice, The Earth, and all of life. Social
justice, environmental preservation, and cultural healing are all
intertwined just like the eco-systems in nature.
Comprised of volunteers around the world who share this same passion
for healing, Unify provides a service to these diverse movements and
individuals by allowing everyone to join forces for the betterment of
all. This is a little bit out of step with capitalistic principles that
pit everyone against each other because it emphasizes cooperation
instead competition. There is no “us vs. them” it is all on us.
There is a symbiotic relationship in the rain forests where each
animal, plant, and insect plays an important part of the health of the
eco-system. Galvanizing change through mutual success for each of the
involved parties is what makes this movement unlike anything before it.
Being of service, coming from the heart, letting love lead and using the
most advanced technologies combined with real human networks makes for a
beautiful community of conscious change-makers.
March
22 at 3pm PST all around the world people paused to meditate, pray, and
hold ceremonies to remember what is truly important, and what is at the
center of all life as we know it. WATER. This is not the beginning or
the end of the movement. This is a
world wide wave of action,
and it will continue to ebb and flow and build and grow until humanity
can restore some balance and respect for life on earth. We live within
natural laws, and we must embody bio-mimicry if we want to learn how to
live in a healthy way. The benefits of our current systems are being
outweighed by the destruction it is causing to the very things that we
hold most sacred.
No
longer can we afford to forget our connection to the future and the
past, to nature, and to each other by ignoring the threads of life that
connect us.
The Forgotten Chapter is winding to a close and something beyond our wildest dreams is being born before us.
I’m not sure if it was Rob Brezsny or John Perry Barlow who first coined the term
“Pronoia”,
but in case you are having the sneaking suspicion that people are
conspiring behind your back to help you out… it’s probably because they
are!
How do YOU lend color to someone else’s dream? Soon we may find that
we don’t have dreams but dreams have us. We are here to make the dream
real for those that we love. Perhaps there is a little more to life than
“working for the man” afterall…
From Occupy to Unify, Anonymous to
Unanimous,
from coast to coast change is brewing and every one of us is part of
it. Maybe it is just by sharing a link, tweeting a picture, helping a
friend in need, taking a silent moment to watch the sun set, or
listening to birds fill the trees with songs, we are making the
connection, we are making the change. There is power in that, immense
power.
We
are each part of something bigger than ourselves, yet we take ourselves
so seriously at times. Let’s make it beautiful, make it fun, now is our
moment! May we never slumber again while the things we cherish most are
being destroyed. We can not eat money and we can not drink oil, we know
that there are solutions to all the problems we face. Together, as a
unified force of nature, we will heal. We will bring justice and we will
love life. Water sustains and supports all life, it asks for nothing in
return, it wears away mountains, and flows freely becoming one with
everything. Be like water my friends, be like water…
Visiting the
Unify website will show you all the events planned throughout the world, “liking” sharing and tweeting posts from
Unify Facebook also helps. The #lovewater event page is
here.
