When measuring the honesty of our actions, complete with the holistic sense of ecological impact, it has been very difficult to align righteousness with the action of modern culture.
At the same time, modern culture is not necessarily representative of the True American Dream.
As I am beginning to experience the fruition of the past two years of very difficult work, essentially reaping what I have sown, I am too beginning to experience a sense of what True America is all about. The deepest ecological understanding for one self, how to best become fluid with that understanding and ultimately acting upon said understanding.
There has been plenty of anti-American sentiment upon this blog as well as many "progressive" new-age literary websites. In this moment, I am feeling quite American.
As a conscious co-creator (as are we all) I am recognizing my capacity to evolve (change) within the most ideal ways as to best fit my environment. I am literally aware of how I can benefit my environment rather than burden it by utilizing the gifts it offers and give back symbiotically.
I believe this is what America is all about. Recognizing the needs before us (the people, land, water and creatures) and doing what is needed to best suit the whole lot.
If that means taking part in the mainstream function, so be it. If that means working extremely hard, near the edge with no room for more, against that mainstream and as an indicator of change...so be it.
To be American is not to be part of continued ignorance. To be American is to be greater than you've ever been. To be constantly evolved and constantly renewed. General betterment. This moral sense trickles into all relationships including fellow human, creature and environment. There is no holding back the righteous Spirit of America for those who recognize what that means. Peace.
