Denying Tribalism

Be part of the light. It's a wonderful place to be.

Prejudice promoted by tribalism is the leading isolating, destructive force in our world. Arrogance and violence are its hallmarks. By acting intuitively and thinking sensually, we can deny tribalism in our environment.

Belief systems around us are crumbling. Yet, our global sense of spiritual and technical connection has never been stronger. The future is ours to create.

Times of change always reveal the best and worst in society. Be the best. Nothing can stop you from choosing dignity over hostility. 

Tribalism is poison that turns hearts to stone. But the human heart is invincible. Sensual intuitive thinking is our global blood bank bringing constructive change to our world. Courage, determination, dignity and common sense are magnets that unite our spirit in rhythm with change.

Prejudice of tribalism is a dark disease from the past that promotes negativism everywhere – Africa, Asia, America, Australia, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East. Tribalism is closed-minded group behavior that depends on strong negative feelings towards people outside the group to feel valid. With a disdain for humanity in others, tribalism is heartless.

The power of intuitive thinking to undermine ignorance of tribalism is real. Simple sensual connections unite us to feel grateful for life, more certain of who we are and calm. By trusting what feels right, it's easy to stay aware of dreams and priorities. This gently opens doors for others to do the same. Our priorities are not so different. Listen to the music in your heart. Walk with freedom and justice in your life. Stay in rhythm with love and truth.

Life is short and we don't have a lot of time. Everything is not easy. Justice brings balance that happens in its own time. You will keep in sync with change by noticing what you sense. This reinforces choices that guide and nurture your unique humanity. We are here to learn, change and grow. As soon as we become tools of tribalism or dogma, growth stops. Don't ever be guided by hate. It is the path to hell.

We live with technology that helps us separate from the corrupted tenets of tribalism by opening our eyes to alternatives. Tribalism is rigid and irrational restrictions grounded in the past. The internet is connections and updates available to all. We can choose to live with respect and peace.

It is intuitive  to heal ourself and our world by refusing to be limited by prejudice. Choose to sense the light. We are born to be joyous, to love and to honor responsibilities of being alive.

The spirit within us bends, but doesn't die. To break the stone of tribalism may not be possible. But, with sensual intuitive thinking, we can starve it. There is always a balance of light and dark in our world. Use your power to feel what is humane. Be part of the light. It's a wonderful place to be. 

I love this photo taken by my rafiki (friend) because it's either a profile or compelling eye contact. How do we know which is right? We don't. All we know is: There is always more than one way to see things.  

During times of change and upheaval, you have soul. Use your voice and actions to healKeep communication open. Notice what you sense. Tune-in with clear eyes, ears, heart and mind. Be aware of what's going on. New solutions for old problems will push open the small door of the improbable. It's amazing.

I have just three things to teach:
Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
You return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
You accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
You reconcile all beings in the world. ~Lao Tzu

  1. Like Alven Toffler has written that world has developed from Pre-stone age -to=stone age-to agriculture age - to post industrial age -to Information age .However , world has developed unevenly . Some part of the world is still in agriculture and some have entered industrial age . Even in many countries ,some part of a country in agriculture age and some part is in industrial age . Tribal way of life belong to stone age , Feudalism , Bartalism is system associated with agriculture age . Democracy , capitalism , Communism are system associated with the industrial age . Some countries have entered what is called information age . Information is causing rapid global integration and the process of globalisation is irreversible .

    Present turmoil in many part of the world due to two factors ( 1 ) Uneven development of the world , where sone still have stone age system like tribalism ,some still have agriculture age system like feudalism , some countries still have traditional capitalism . Even democracy is also becoming irrelevant ( 2 ) Globalisation is rapidly taking place but world powers are trying to control to manipulate the agencies ( World Bank , U.N, IMF, WTO ) which are supposed to regulate the global economy .
