Stay true to Heart

To those in Iran right now. I wish not peace but Inner Strength to hold true.  

I extend hope to those standing up: stay the course of heart.

Flowing with life means, once committed, to move with full presence and prevent half steps from shattering more life later. 



People believe peace is the goal.. Peace and conflict are of the same coin. Push peace too hard and you then end up resolving in conflict. No this isn't about peace, it's about true acceptance of being human and living to one's heart. The ruling elite have lost touch to the heart of the people. Simply stated: the people are standing up to reclaim their hearts. 

The goal is inner acceptance, a step beyond peace or conflict. Iran is at a cross roads seemingly.

But the cross road isn't between peace and conflict, remember they are the same coin. The cross road is between continuing to pay the high price of peace/conflict or moving beyond that to truly create something one step beyond that pattern.

How to do that? Well that is the trick indeed. Not to be directed from the outside. Instead, right now people are uniting following together. The protesters don't want conflict, they want resolution to a more equal society, they want acceptance of their lifestyle from their leaders, not dictates, nor morality, nor something measured out and priced to the same old coin that we were taught was the only way...

It's a step at a time, but if this stays true to the resolve of accepting personal humanity, It can turn out to be very surprising indeed, perhaps something new, not seen before.

Addendum 1: Mir Hossein Mousavi is beginning to get labeled now as "the Gandhi of Iran." Of course, he isn't Gandhi, but in the now represents the ideal of Gandhi - Acceptance

Addendum 2: Examples of how what is happening
is different.... This isn't about peace nor do they want conflict, people want acceptance and to move on with a better life. They are resisting government attempts to create more violence, yet the overall response of actions are not peaceful either. This is all about Acceptance of Humanity. Acceptance can seem to be peace, but as shown over the past few days people are more than open to use non peaceful ways to respond (note: non peaceful doesn't mean conflict either...).

The Tao teaches us the answer is not to be defined before it happens, the answer needs to evolve in real time in response to the heart of being...alive and present. It's possible for all sides to change course to something better.

Addendum 3: Further Shifts where groups
join together in release.... This isn't about how we expect a revolution to occur, by its very nature: revolution is a time of fundamental change. This isn't the past... It's real time: As the saying goes the revolution will not be televised... but it sure the hell will get twittered and connected all the same.

This is a lesson for the world, as communication opens up to be more and more equally shared: eventually it will blossom out and people will stand up to establish a social structure more balanced to acceptance over dictates.

Addendum 4: Ayatollah Khomeini takes the stance of a
morally corrupted dictator.... In his statements today, Ayatollah Khomeini is pushing people to violence. So know any blood that happens will be directly on his hands, his soul. He is trying to force the situation into Conflict to obtain Peace. He isn't standing behind truth of Allah, he is acting as a Dictator. He is repeating the patterns of the Shah and has become a reflection of the Shah. We just reached the turning point, this wont become something new, instead Khomeini has set the stage for history to repeat itself. If not today very soon, the people in Iran will over turn a dictator again. The pattern has been set. Ironically it is the leader Ayatollah Khomeini who has defined how he will fall. It's a shame. If he rose to acceptance, he could have averted conflict and been part of creating something new and better.

I wish Inner Strength to everyone in Iran standing up to be in their life fully right now. If you hold true, there is a chance.

Namaste
