THE BIO-ECONOMICS OF THE NINETIES
Rev. Charla Hermann

Several years ago, I found myself at an International Marketing conference for the Fortune 500. There I sat in New York City in a four day session focused on how we as Marketing Directors would sell folks products in a distressed environment of the nineties. Top corporate heads had gathered to discuss the methods that it would take to encourage people to purchase things that they had deemed poisoned or toxic to the environment. It was clear that we are heading for a time of great economic changes and stresses on the family income. Credit cards are being used more to compensate for the cost of living that is raising faster than the base two family income. The water becomes more polluted to drink from the tap as the air becomes more polluted and disease like asthma is on the rise. Our younger generation is less educated, overall and less employable, as they become the first medicated generation in history. Interest rates climb, taxes take more than we make and stress levels are driving the average income earner to get drunk, get medicated or get God. So rather than work towards changing this system towards solution, I listened to these men in expensive suits come up with ways to condone this situation and to work to manipulate the changes offered to fill their corporate coffers. I sat is shock as I listened to them openly discuss the pollution they had created as some kind of merit badge, that they would now charge cities millions to clean up. It was all quite appalling and eye opening for me.

Well gang, here we are. It is the nineties, and this stuff is happening right before our eyes. Just because our laundry detergent now comes in a recycled box, does not make it less toxic to the water ways that it is spilled into. You still should not be drinking it! There is so much stuff happening around us and to us, that it would be impossible to live an entirely Holistic lifestyle and survive in any major city in the US. The questions of food storage or the ability to grow our own gardens are huge. What will each of us do as we face electrical shortage, fuel shortage, water rations and more??? Would we all be willing to live in a community environment in order to survive?

Here at Hawkwind, we have observed that the answers to those questions are kind of scary. About fifty people a week call to ask of ways to manifest prosperity to survive the lifestyle that the television has convinced them they need to live. The average American family consumes up to 600 times more than a family of any other nation. Yet, we crave each day to have more. These same people, when faced with the opportunity to share time, energy or healing with someone else, resist. They may be missing the greatest opportunity to receive.

As far back as the Bible, there has been one law of nature; it is the Law Of Reciprocity. You get out of life what you are willing to put into it. If you want to be able to fill your cup, you must first empty it. I do not hear these corporate guys ready to give something or sacrifice for what they desire. I hear them saying they want it all and will force others to make sure they get what they want. Wow, sounds like a lack of balance to me. In the natural world, Christmas is everyday, as we participate in the great ‘give away’ of life. This law keeps all resources flowing. It is not just a case of those who HAVE, making sure they HAVE more than anyone else. This law keeps balance in all material and Spiritual bounty. Bounty moves your way when you are a tide pool of energy that directs source to you and releases source to others in need. It isn’t something you can market or advertise to get. It is the source of life that flows like the tides. You receive, you give; maybe in cash or your time to be a mentor, Big Brother or Sister. It is about you cleaning out the closet, as you fill it.

The extended part of the law is the one that in turn provides you with teachers, mentors and new source to feed your soul. It is making that healing experience as much a priority as buying a new designer thing that will only last for a season. We all expect so much from this life. We are conditioned to expect that we can have the best and look the prettiest and win as we climb the ladder of success. Yet are we taking care of each other. Are we all taking care of our priorities. OR are we just buying the same poison in a new box? If we want the lessons, can use the lessons, and grow form the lessons, we must support the source of the lessons. How many of us is willing to give up one of those marketed poisons a day to be able to afford a Holistic Healing moment that will serve not only our personal growing but the healing of the planet!

Are you willing to support your own healing vision as much as you are willing to support the corporate thieves who leave you in debt and looking for doctors to provide a remedy for all of the poisons you have consumed? Are you willing to invest as much in your own healing as you are in your ‘All American’ image? For those of you who do live in balance and support the higher goal of “LESS IS MORE” we thank you. Be sure to tell your friends the great rewards you have felt as you lived the law of giving away to receive. Be sure to know that you, by living in this manner, support the healing of the entire planet, and I/we thank you.
