The Cost of Greed: Humanity and Compassion in Crisis

I was awakened this morning to the image of a pet who had been abandoned by its owners. They had moved away and simply left it outside subject to the weather, abuse and starvation. Then I saw a human displaced from their job for profits in the same situation as this abandoned pet. I could not return to sleep for the pain of these ones were so strong.

Around the world we see government leaders and businesses putting profits, power and control over humanity and life. How can person with any moral sense of love and compassion place money over living breathing life. It doesn’t matter if that life is human, animal, bird, aquatic, or trees which give us the very air we need to breath and survive.

It is happening globally, putting profits and ego need for power over life. A corporation ignoring the reality that the 150 people they have terminated in order to make profits now have to choose between food or shelter. Well that’s there problem they might think, they should have saved or thought ahead. Perhaps the business owner had inherited their money and business and never known the struggles of the poor. Their employee having come from poverty and studying hard , working multiple jobs to get through college in order to get a good job. They now help their family or elderly parents as well as pay loans for their education. The savings they might have if any will quickly disappear. Perhaps they have a spouse and child. They have nothing left over after paying rent, utilities, and buying food while working. The business owner or corporation simply cares more about profits than people.

Then there is the elderly woman who had been a single mother working hard for years to support herself and children. She has small amount invested and a bit of savings so when she retires she buys a mobile home in a senior community. All is good until the park decides to sell to a corporation that raises the lot rent 75.00 every year. Her home begins to need repairs, her car breaks down, her children say they have no money to help. She gets what help she can but now the government is threatening to cut that off. Her refrigerator, washer and dryer all no longer work and she has no money for repairs. She can’t afford television so all she has is a radio to listen to each day. She is almost blind and hard of hearing. She has no one to turn to and can’t afford a senior nursing home. If her food stamps and other assistance are cut off she has no food. Her rent is moving beyond her income and has drained her savings. The park will evict her if she can’t pay and right now her only heat is a space heater which she uses sparingly because electricity is so expensive.

There is the pet abandoned by their owner. They perhaps thought they could survive and were saving them from possible death. Yet the agony of being alone, without shelter in the weather and searching for food is far worse. They are starving, which leads to sickness. They are freezing which is agonizing. The females are raped and produce a litter of babies they can’t care for because they can’t care for themselves. They are threatened by the elements, starvation, other animals and humans.

There are families displace by war and violence because someone wants something, power, land, control or money that is connected to the place in which they were living. Children are being killed in the midst of these vendettas. Women are being raped. People and animals are being displaced and left to starve and suffer in the elements without shelter simply because of where they lived. They ask for help from other places only to be turned away. What would you do?

Yes, every person has made choices even if that was simply where they would live because they were born there. However, did your choice bring you profit or power at the expense of another. Did you choose profits over compassion and caring?

When one leaves their physical body and their soul reviews their life, they will not make the determination of being ready to move forward into the Infinite expanse of Oneness based upon how much money they made or how powerful they were. You won’t say to the Source of Life, I am so proud of the yacht I owned. Well, what about the family that ended up living on the streets because you cut their job? You, won’t say that was their problem. WHY? Because that is of the ego mind and not the Soul

Remember you are in essence a soul having a human experience. This world of money and power is but an agreed upon illusion of time and space. It can shift at any moment based upon focus and intent. The Infinite Quantum Field of Creation is the true Reality. It is where our soul goes upon leaving the human form to review our life and see what we have done and what we need to balance.

We are all One outside this time, space reality we are moving through. When we without mindfulness caring and compassion make a choice that hurts another part of that Oneness, it must be balanced before we can move into the Infinite Field of Creation. That is why ones incarnate again and again. Perhaps you may enjoy this game of power and control and that is your choice to continue playing it. As long as you put that first you will continue on that path.

If you wish to move beyond this realm of duality to Infinite Possibilities you need to choose wisely , mindfully and with compassion and caring as to the effect of your choice.

My soul would not give me peace until I shared this message.
