I have been deeply moved over the tragic passing of Robin Williams
and the outpouring of love that has ensued. The beauty of this wonderful
man and how profoundly he affected so many is almost overwhelming and
has brought many to tears, including myself. What his life represented
is being mirrored in the souls of others and is so very heartening to
witness, even in these tragic circumstances.
I read through yesterday’s tabloid Daily Mail article
with its moving tributes, pictures and video clips and it’s wonderful
to see how his loving and generous spirit surpassed even his genius.
Seeing these “star” strewn reactions that are so sincere and loving
coming out of the cesspit of the entertainment industry is heartening.
Moreover, with the vibrational change coming on so strongly I can’t help
but feel this again is an opportunity for the awakening of the human
spirit to manifest in yet another way.
There is hardly any field
more polluted and nefarious than the “entrainment” industry. That honest
artists have to operate in such a milieu is tragic in itself and a
clear manifestation of the matrix of control that’s seated itself on top
of humanity. That this very community is being smacked with such a
startling event as Robin Williams’ apparent self inflicted death is very
significant.
My question is, will they respond consciously in the
face of such a stark contrast to the world they support, or will it
only be a flush of pity and self catharsis?
Death – For Whom Do We Really Weep?
I
don’t think there’s a person who at times like these doesn’t ponder the
question of why they haven’t shown more love and appreciation for
others while they’re still amongst us. Instead, tragedy and loss seem to
be what bring these profoundly deep realities to the surface, and we
lament that “too little, too late” sensation. The contrast to our busy,
distracted and wrongly focused lives becomes almost too much to bear.
And that’s a good thing. It’s time to rethink our priorities when our
worlds are jolted. Who are we not appreciating and loving enough? How
can I represent this reality being peeled and revealed in front of me,
rather than wait for life to pass me and others as we idle by in
society’s march to oblivion?
So much of grief is a very personal,
spiritual catharsis. We regret, we lament, we long for the presence that
was once felt. Realizing someone has passed on should be a joyous
occasion when lives are well lived, as well as appreciated. Of course
seemingly untimely deaths are harder to handle for many reasons, yet our
grieving takes on the same basic characteristics. Unexpressed fears,
longings and regrets surface. Sharp contrasts are made between a world
with or without that particular person. Effects and feelings rise to the
surface and are evaluated as we face our own frailty and inevitable
earthly demise.
These are serious issues which touch on every part
of our being. And wonderful times to connect with conscious awareness
of our true eternal nature and the overlaying deceit about us known as
“the world”.
Good Guys, Bad Guys and Waking Up to Reality
Robin
Williams greatly influenced my life, as he did millions of people. From
barely missing an episode of Mork and Mindy in my youth to his dramatic
inspiring masterpieces such as Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Awakenings and Patch Adams,
I was always moved by his incredible genius and how he brilliantly
inserted himself into these profound statements. Whether rattling off
impromptu streams of consciousness strings that would inspire awe as
well as split my sides with laughter, or diving deep into extremely
penetrating dramatic roles, he was always “out there” – my favorite hang
out. The edge of Now, where the real action is.
And he could take me there at the drop of a hat.
Knowing
his personal example was so extremely kind and generous was always a
huge boost to my spirit. Truly inspired genius coming from a place of
kindness and love authenticated him in my mind and heart, despite my
disdain for the Hollywood crowd. Even Joan Rivers, the crass comedienne
who makes a living at the expense of others, said rather revealingly,
“He was one of the good guys.”
Yes, good guys. They’re out there.
So are the bad guys. And thankfully, at times like these when the light
of love shines so brightly, the bad guys shrink back into their
appropriate shadowy corners. Ironically, when we hear these qualities
praised and eulogized we can’t help but wonder why this kind of love,
kindness and deep respect and honor isn’t the predominant theme amongst
these Tinseltown puppets. Why do they participate in promoting hard core
gratuitous violence, sexual exploitation and outright disinformation?
What do they think is quenching this spirit of kindness and love that
has been suppressed in humanity that they’re now extolling, only to
erupt at the tragic passing of a wonderful human being?
Will They Put Feet to their Feelings?
As
big names speak of the tentative, fragile nature of life, will they
allow themselves to be touched by the barbaric slaughters their own
corporate overlords and nation are right now perpetrating, financing and
promoting on literally the most fragile of all, humanity’s very mothers
and children? Will they have the courage to stand up to their Zionist,
anti-human bosses for once, or bold enough to be “politically incorrect”
and dare to speak the plain truth?
This remains to be seen. I do
know that love cannot be quenched, and when it moves so dramatically
center stage as it is at the loss of Robin Williams, I expect there will
be some personal priority checking and change of direction for many.
That, or it will be
“too little, and too late” for those who refuse this opportunity to wake
up, as well as to make their stand known for the sake of their fellow
humans.
That to me is what distinguishes this passing from others
Hollywood has fawned upon. There’s something very significant about this
event and the subsequent reactions. It’s a wake up call. To all of us,
but a huge one to the willing puppets of the big screen. What will you
do to change the paradigm that is crushing humanity’s spirit and that of
their fellow creative “good guys”? This time the focus is on you.
You’ve
expressed your inner feelings, big names. Now live up to them. You have
a microphone any of us awakened would love to shout from. The onus is
now on you. Live up to your sentiments, or else. Universe awaits your
decision.
The time for conscious responding is now. Always now. For all of us.
Reach
out to those in need, express your love every opportunity you get, and
expose and stand up to the bad guys. They’re having a heyday while
humanity sleeps.
It’s time to awaken and rise, in the spirit of Love and Truth. Boldly and without fear, no matter who or where we are.
The time is now.
Love always, Zen
