You Matter! Make a Difference in Your World!

By Kathryn Sargent, Editor

 As I'm writing to you in this third week of November, things are looking pretty grim. It has just been confirmed that Al Quaeda leader Osama bin Laden is still alive, based on a recent voice recording. He threatens more violence toward us. We are poised on the brink of war with Saddam Hussein. Our major corporations are awash in scandal. The environment continues to be threatened. Our economy is shaky and the champions of big business and greed have now been voted into the majority of our government. Women's rights, environmental issues, and personal freedoms will all come under fire in the next two years of government.
 
This is a time when the forces for aggression, revenge, and hatred are strong, but they can be overcome. Hope comes from unexpected places in times like these, and I've found hope in some unusual books, lately. Nancy Red Star has published  a collection of stories from native wisdomkeepers around the world called Legends of the Star Ancestors. The contributors to this book are from Native American, Tibetan, Australian  aborigine, Islamic, Japanese, Celtic and Jewish backgrounds. In each of these cultures, there are predictions about these times and how we will meet these challenges.
 
Most of us are familiar with the Mayan prophecies, but here, I learned that the idea of a Time of Purification occurs in most of the world's wisdom traditions. They bring us hope because they point the way to survival and even more, transcendance. As Khenpo Kharthur Rinpoche, head of the Dharma Triyana Chakra Monastery in Woodstock, NY, observed, “Karma is not carved in stone. Our own actions can transform our lives.” He goes on to speak of people who give themselves in selfless action to benefit others, first doing their own work on themselves, then being able to benefit others. These practices free the mind from fear, and free it for peace.
