Consciousness Is Our Only Way Out

The 21st century brought tremendous progress to the global village project Economic progress is now a worldwide endeavour Science and technology are opening new gates of knowledge The space adventure has been commercialised Governments are becoming more and more of corporate entities The people are awakening to a new world of materialism Our sense of curiosity is inflated and easy to corrupt There is a gigantic cloud of excitement in the air But the human psyche is bedridden and terribly sick More and more mental health issues are erupting across the world The stressors of life have been multiplied The socioeconomic burden put on individuals is too heavy The fibre of being is relegated to the peripheries of our day to day struggle for survival The classroom of knowledge is full of bogus ideologies and unpolished concepts The truth is being subjected to advanced modifications and manipulation Lies are peddled in high level political circles Exploitation is rampant and sophisticated Inequality is an accepted standard of living Our moral compass is spinning out of control It's a dog eat dog world out there Profit is the new religion Humanity is on the brink of a catastrophic disaster Human trafficking is now digitalised and monetised Epidemics are a source of great wealth for big pharmaceutical companies Politics is failing to address the needs of the people Where did we all go wrong? The answer lies deep in our consciousness Common sense dictates that we love and care for each other But the reality on the ground wants us to compete with each other Consciousness is our only way out Let's pause and dive deep into the light We need to rediscover our purpose in life We need to change our mindsets We need to bring together our body, mind and soul Under one open tent of dialogue Our collective consciousness needs to be thoroughly cleansed of all the negative energies It is the illumination of consciousness and the awakening of the human spirit ©Kenneth Maswabi
