Everything has its light side and its dark side. Its
blessing and its curse.
As a visionary of "sorts" my blessing is to be able to
see an ideal potential that could become a splendid reality. But then when I
lift my contemplating head to look around me, at my reality, I suffer shock and
dismay at what is. I even feel embarrassed to realize that I am part of the
reality.
Lets not even go into my need to have the vision. Maybe
later? The vision is the most important thing"not the visionary.
But I am convinced that I must not give up on the vision
just because it is so much more than the reality. Without the vision of More
and Better, the reality will not change and may even become worse. This is not
acceptable to me and I Truly believe, not to Creator either.
I like to see my vision of More and Better for America
and Americans as an adventure"a quest for the grail and ark of covenant of
Human Evolution; as Good Individuals and as Good Societies. For the symbol of
this "adventure" I have chosen the "Viking Ship". So far it only has one shield
on it (mine)"as least as far as I can tell. And not much wind in its sails. It
is too large for me to steer and make headway alone. Maybe I should reduce its
size. Make it more manageable for and as my "vision". I can always increase its
size later"when the need arises. After all, its just a fun little symbol
anyway.
Getting back to the phenomena of "reality" (as I perceive
it) versus the "vision" (as I see it) and the frustration and challenge
thereof.
At first the reality seems totally unrelated to the
vision. But if I look closer I can see little connections and precedents in the
reality that can lead to the building of the vision. And "building" is a key
operative word in this. In Our Finite existence We have to build what We
desire. Usually We have to increase the number of "Builders"; especially when
the vision involves and is dependent upon many minds and souls.
So. How do We build the vision, or visions? Getting right
down to the "nitty gritty" of this, I have to say that the building occurs one
block at a time and one step at a time. "Shra 1" told me this years ago.
Blessings upon that Wise Sister.
Okay. I am going to go with that Wise Advice. It does
seem the best for the likes of me to pursue.
The basic questions would be:
(1) What is a vision "building block"?
(2) What is a vision "building step"?
(3)
How do I get enough and do enough, of them, to build
the vision?
Since my "American Vision" involves More and Better for
millions of The Good People Of America, I have to think that the essential and
smallest building blocks would be those very same people.
And I assume it reasonable to assume that the "steps"
would be what those very same people do, to build the vision.
But there is a catch. This "catch" is in the fact that,
as Individuals, We are not alike. We have similarities, but are, in many ways,
very different from each other. This means that it will be difficult to get
others to become building blocks of "my" vision. It is going to be hard to get
them to see what I see"in the way that I see it. Right now, it seems like my
only Hope is to get others to see the vision as their vision"important to them,
their lives and their welfare. The achievement of the vision must be their
achievement, just as much as mine. A vision seen by one is only valuable to one
and that might practically amount to being of no value at all if the vision
involves and is dependent upon Many.
I understand that my sight of the vision will never be
duplicated exactly like I see and feel it. There will always be big and little
differences in the way it is perceived by others. I have to accept this and
keep it in mind as I try to influence the vision into the fulfilled reality of
the vision, by all that it includes and who have included it into their lives.
My first step is to present the vision the best I can.
Make this presentation as available as I can to as much of America as I can.
That's my job. To share what I see.
My second step is to Live the vision as much as I can as
one Individual. That also is my job. I have to become the first experience of
the vision.
The vision starts with the first steps toward the
fulfillment of the notion that "We The People Of America Truly Becoming A
Government Of The People, For The People and BY The People." I don't know where
it ends. I do pray that it will not devolve into blindness or nightmare. Not
from now on.
This "Government Of The People, For The People and BY The
People" could be called "Direct Democracy". A thing of intense Individual and
Social Responsibility and Devotion.
Because I am who and what I am, it seems just wonderful
to think of We The People becoming this ideal form of government. And doing it
wisely and well. So well that Creator ITSELF will become More and Better.
Brighter. More Joyous. Wouldn't that be "Sumthin"?
This vision probably helps to keep me sane. Protects me
from the influences of the darkness of Our Reality, as it is today.
