What the world needs now is US.
by: Phyllis Hampton
July 22, 2010
In previous diaBLOGue’s, we talked about outstanding individuals, or authentic heroes, who step out of the limiting boundaries of mass consciousness to bring back knowledge, wisdom and action that will help humanity and do what is necessary to grow and evolve. These heroes have the courage and presence of self to take risks,often acting alone to benefit others. I would like to introduce another heroic group – those of us who comprise the US of us. These individuals could be the most courageous of all. Who makes up this group? Those of US who actively and consciously participate in humanity as one of humanity. We listen to the messages of the heroes. From these we learn, contemplate, evaluate, discern, act, and grow our knowledge and wisdom. By doing all of these things, we elevate our families, cultures and world.
In our complex intellectual Western societies, not even the most competent and intelligent can be proficiently knowledgeable in every field. Not everyone has to (or can) master the physical sciences of the body and cosmos. Not everyone has to (or can) understand the categories of study relating to the psyche. Not everyone has to (or can) understand the energetic dynamics involved when we enter relationships and form groups. So the US comes in when we discerningly blend and utilize what we offer individually with what is offered by others.
The manner in which we individually and collectively come together defines the nature of humanness and humanity. Many social scientists have tried to define this very basic but illusive standard. Some say human nature is selfish and competitive, but perhaps this is more a condition described as “inhumane.” Others perceive our basic nature in humane and humanitarian terms. Perhaps human nature is both, neither or either. If this is a truth, we can choose our nature of humanness, and therefore impact the nature of humanity.
Actually, it appears that our moment of choice has arrived. Right now in our world, the consequences that are the result of humanity’s rather cavalier and selfish, i.e., “inhumane,” way of life are alarming. To name a prevalent few: an oil spill that threatens not only the life and well-being of many species, but of our own; wars fought in the name of “God” that are killing “God’s” children; great numbers of children, women and men exploited and enslaved in sex trafficking and labor situations; large areas experiencing drought and famine, and the decimation of life by ravaging diseases. The list goes on and on.
Cracks are extremely obvious in the “everyone for himself” viewpoint. If we have no water, no one drinks. Diseases unleashed do not discriminate. The next child to be destroyed might be one that you love.
Destructive acts to life, our race and our planet ultimately devastate us all.
The US of us grasps these truths and understands that what we do for another, we do for ourselves. This does not come from a religious, political, or other indoctrinating group perspective. It is absolutely scientific and pragmatic in origin. Either we embrace being a member of US, or we go down with the ship.
We don’t have to be a scientist, leader, doctor, philanthropist, or, what we commonly think of as “pillars of society.” The US of us is the great equalizer of the status perspective. All professions, all services, all knowledge that serve the betterment of humanity in this empirical fashion are equally important. Nor do we have to be clannish about it – every decision to come from the US perspective in everyday life is making a difference and adding to the power of US and what that power can yield – healing, balance, value and growth for all of US.
