Let’s Goooooo!

When I watch the footage of the fight for human rights in my lifetime I often consider the courage it takes to lead a movement. There must be an intensity of belief that allows you to set aside fear or doubt, propelling you forward to take on the enormous mountain of old beliefs, existing systems, and flat-out contempt for the cause. Seeing the vision clearly and uncompromisingly must provide a beacon of hope and possibility. Founder Nancy Rebecca and I recently did an energy reading on Soul Seeds. The core of the spiritual message we received was that Soul Seeds is a movement, tailor-made for this time. The guidance was to stop focusing on the minutia (though process was important) and see that we all (yes, you too) have roles to play in bringing this way of going through the world (connected to our inner light) to as many people as possible. What else? Trust the mission. Fortify ourselves against disappointments. Believe that change is not only doable but necessary. We paused at the thought of Soul Seeds as a movement. For me, it was wondering if I was up to the task. Then the Marianne Williamson quote echoed in my mind, “We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? … your playing small does not serve the world.” That is our shared call-to-action. Movements – large and small — are all grounded in standing up for what you believe is right, just, and fair.

In a Philanthropy Impact article, author Derrick Feldman, notes that “Social movements typically strive to generate policy or cultural change, social movements for good work to generate awareness and enact change for an issue or population in need of support and resources. [They] have the power to generate awareness that produces tangible results, helping the general population live longer, more productive, happier lives.” Soul Seeds’ mission certainly does feel aligned with this definition.

We can sit around and be distressed about the state of affairs. Or we can choose to do something as best as we can. Each of you reading this is part of our movement. You appreciate the transformational power of meditation. And, as part of Soul Seeds, you earnestly believe in the importance of sharing it with those who, in many cases, can benefit the most.

In the coming weeks and months. we’ll be inviting you – encouraging you — to get involved. Right now, I’d ask that you donate as generously as you can (perhaps $10 or $25 monthly). Share stories of our work. Include Soul Seeds in your meditations and prayers. Believe our world can be different. Manifest our collective vision of healing, harmony, and equity.

“All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” (Victor Hugo)

We share a universal calling: grounding our individual light into the Earth. Let’s start our movement there by activating our own light and its inner wisdom. Let’s amp up the enthusiasm with a rallying cry, “Let’s goooooo!” (A nod to my sons and Tom Brady for that one.) Perhaps we’ll even name our vision, our passion, our movement — Manifesting Healing with Humanity. An idea whose time has come.
