I am Responsible for the State of My World

When we contemplate building Nova Earth, when we consider how it is that we’ll go about transforming the world’s unworkability into workability, (1) immediately what arises for us are all the barriers to completing that task.

The barriers are well known to us. They include the thought that it’s impossible, that we don’t know what to do, that there are no solutions on a global scale, that nobody cares. On and on the thoughts go that have us falter and refuse to take up the task at hand.

Let me address why much of this confusion exists among us.

We’re emerging from an era in which many people in power did not have the world’s welfare at heart. They were often motivated by a hunger for power and a greed for money. They looked at anyone not of their circle as “useless eaters.”

9/11 did not kick off the war against the people, (3) as far as I’m concerned. The Kennedy assassination did, spearheaded by the Office of Naval Intelligence, the CIA, the Secret Service, and many others – including Kennedy’s own Vice-President, Lyndon Johnson, and later President George Bush Sr. (4)

George Bush Jr. conspired in 9/11. And from that point on, this secret government did everything it could to take power from the people. (5) They dumbed us down. They convinced us that there was nothing we could do about it. And now we’ve shown them that we can and we will.

So we may not be able to consult the background of the last fifty years for inspiration. We’re on our own, so to speak.

And we’re left with social trauma that gives rise to passivity and powerlessness. We must recover from it. How are we to do that?

For me, the first step towards reversing the trend of passivity and powerlessness is to take responsibility for my world, yes, my world. Exactly as it is today. And not even to wait until I have further knowledge to do that.

Taking responsibility for my world isn’t a matter of blame or fault. It isn’t a matter of burden, in the sense that I must do everything and I’m sagging under the weight of it.

It’s a matter of commitment to the work, to what’s available and do-able for me. It’s a matter of looking at the man in the mirror every day and renewing my commitment to transforming the planet, to getting the job done.

It’s also a matter of putting fear aside – whenever it arises. Many of us fear looking silly, looking grandiose, putting ourselves in the hot seat, taking a risk.

Do you know what’ll happen if we don’t take that risk?

As Braveheart said, nothing.

So the first step in getting to work is to take personal responsibility for the world as it is, for the poverty in it, the homelessness, the disease, the starvation, the lack of water, and all the other unworkable conditions that exist in our world.

It’s taking responsibility for the inequality, the subservience, the slavery, the brutality, the crime.

It’s saying: It isn’t OK with me that so many people suffer in my world.

And, yes, this is personal for us. I take personal responsibility for the condition of my world.

I invite all others who care for their world to come join me, to take personal responsibility for your world too. I invite us to begin, to dig into this massive work we have before us, in the same way that we’d dig into … well, anything in our lives that’s huge and has to be straightened out.

Please don’t ask me for guidance. There’s just one of me and so many of you. Operate on your own say-so, as a free and sovereign citizen of Planet Earth. This is what we all need to do now.

I won’t wait till the money arrives, or the cavalry, or new technology.

I must begin now. We must begin now. And we have to keep at it until the job is finished.

When will that job be finished? Without a deadline, none of us can solve the problems that often arise when we work together. In this case, we’re working as an entire globe, an entire planet, many societies, many cultures.

To reduce the confusion, to help coordinate efforts, and to encourage concerted action, I propose a deadline of Jan. 1, 2015.

I’ve already declared that as the deadline for the end of gender persecution on this planet. (2) And I now propose it for the end of the world’s unworkability.

Will you be responsible for the total transformation of this planet? Will you join me, heart and soul, to make this world work?
