Occupy Love Street

"When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response which is little more than emotional bosh. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality..This oft misunderstood and misinterpreted concept so readily dismissed by the Nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man."
 -Martin Luther King

As the sweet voice of justice rises from the throat of American masses whom are finally waking up to the economic chains they have become enslaved in, it is an important time to reflect on our own personal involvement and to take a long look in the mirror.

If we have become engaged in an economic, greed motivated system, it is crucial to remember it has not happened without our consent.  We are as much a part of a profit seeking, materialistically motivated system as we choose to be.  There is no sense in pointing fingers at the programmers and power brokers of the system, if we are not able to first examine our own intentions, motivations and actions.We must first disengage and clarify our own path.  We must insure it is rooted in the heart.

Ultimately, the real occupation needs to be of our own souls.  We need to occupy our heart spaces and prioritize the spiritual.  We need to occupy love street, if we have any real inclination towards transforming the system that has enslaved us.

Because ultimately, it is our own willingness to buy into the system in the first place that exposes us to relinquishing our power to it.  If we truly intend to transform a world out of balance, we must be courageous enough to first examine and challenge ourselves, to break our own personal chains.

Because once, we are truly able to occupy Love Street, Wall Street will no longer matter. We will occupy it, by first draining all its power.  And more importantly, we will be prepared to replace it with a more powerful construct.
