Dear Ones,
Who are you in the global sense? Do you think of yourself as a citizen of Earth or are you wedded to your own town, country, continent or hemisphere? The time has come for every human being on Planet Earth at this time to lift up their consciousness and consider themselves to be a citizen of Earth.
If you are wondering why this is so important at this time it is because there are so many problems that are global issues and thinking in small-minded approaches to these problems will not yield the best results. The citizens of one country who do not consider the effects their decisions have on others in the world are missing the opportunity to participate in far-reaching solutions. History will deem them very small-minded indeed. And the solutions being found for global problems by other nations will ultimately cause economic and social harm to those who persist in their limited thinking.
In times past people did not traverse the globe for short trips or business meetings or short vacations with the family to a foreign country. When someone traveled in the past they were often gone from home for months or years at a time. There were no telephones or computers to use to connect with others across the Planet. Now, however, people will fly across the country for one day, or hop to another continent for a weekend. Computers and telephones allow people to be instantly connected with others anywhere in the world. The world has changed dramatically in the last century and, yet, there are many people who have not expanded their thinking into this global perspective.
Think about those around you who have never left the country in which they were born. What is their perspective on the bigger issues facing humanity today? The television has certainly brought into consciousness many global issues because the images are put before people who are not directly involved. Computers hook up those who live on opposite sides of Earth so that collaboration can take place without regard to physical location. Shouldn’t these advances also have an impact on the search for solutions to those problems that are global in nature?
How do you answer questions from friends in foreign countries when they ask about your country and its impact on theirs? Do you even think about this when you are considering decisions that you make? Think in the microcosm, such as recycling your waste to help your local community and not putting into landfills that which is toxic to the environment, and then extrapolate into the macrocosm and consider how your choices can have an impact in the two dimensions of space and time. What are the choices that you are making for the Planet and what is the impact on your descendants? How are the choices you are making having an effect on your environment?
Every choice that you make today will have an impact, both on Planet Earth and on future inhabitants of the Planet. Do you think in these terms?
Become conscious of your role on Planet Earth as a global citizen. Are you being a good steward of the Planet in this time and for the future? Are you relating harmoniously to your immediate environment so that your footprint will not leave a permanent impact? Are your choices today good for those who live in other countries, on other continents, in the other hemisphere? Can the choices you make today be sustained if everyone else on Planet Earth at this time made the same choices?
Consider these things so that your conscious decisions are made from the global perspective. At this time, Earth is the only Planet you have to live on!
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Are you an Earthling?”
June 7, 2011 — RosemaryIf you’re a Trekkie (Star Trek fan) then you remember that the Federation of Planets treated everyone from Earth as one race within the Universe of many. I’ve always liked that concept of “we’re all Earthlings” and think the world would be a better place if we all embraced that thought. Do you remember seeing the Blue Planet from space for the first time? When NASA showed us what we look like from space I remember being so impressed that there weren’t any lines on the Planet the way there were on a globe and we looked like one big happy planet full of folks rather than distinct groups divided by arbitrary political lines.
The only lines of demarcation that were evident from space were those created by deforestation by one country that created a boundary line with another that had maintained the forests on their side of the border. Human-created boundaries, not a natural feature of Mother Earth.
So now we are a globally-connected society, with school children on one side of the globe connecting with children on the other side and ‘seeing’ each other through the miracle of technology while they collaborate on projects. Scientists have, for a long time, collaborated on projects without regard to nationality and from many different continents. Shared goals seem to dissipate the artificial political boundaries of one country from another.
How wonderful it would be if we could approach global problems with this same perspective – shared goals. What happens if we have a shared goal of ending poverty on Planet Earth in the 21st Century? It’s doable. Start with feeding and educating the children. World hunger could be eliminated with very little (in the grander scheme of things) money, according to some studies that I’ve seen. Educating the women of a poor country, giving them a trade, a skill, can bring whole villages out of poverty.
Economics, energy, health care, poverty, illiteracy, hunger, environmental issues. These are problems that are global in nature and demand global solutions. What if we could set aside our differences and focus on shared goals of solving problems without political or nationalistic territorialism getting in the way? What if we all thought of ourselves as global citizens, all connected, so that distress to a village in another country distresses us in our privileged situation? What choices would we make if we were constantly thinking about the impact of that choice on the Planet as a whole?
Do we really need for a Vulcan to come to Earth to teach us how to “Live long and prosper”?
I think we have the resources to make decisions that can improve life on Planet Earth in this year and for many years to come. BUT that won’t happen until we embrace the concept that we are all connected. All of Mother Earth’s children, whether human or animal or tree, deserve a chance to exist on her surface with her support. This Mother does not play favorites among her children. We are all entitled to share in the love of the Mother. And to share in her resources.
As a globally-connected society of human beings, shouldn’t we be reaching out across all boundaries and looking for ways to improve the lives of ALL who live here now? What do you think? Are you ready to discuss these thoughts with others? Post comments on blogs, including WisdomConnections.net. Chat with your family about these ideas. What do your friends think? Notice who seems to adopt an isolationist view and how that shows up in other choices that they are making. Not to judge, but to observe. And how do you REALLY feel?
I hope you will share these thoughts with others and engage in enlightening discussions, Earthling!
