The Grey Area

Many people are confronted with the grey area when it comes to climate change. How can I, as an individual, have a positive effect on climate change? Climate change can be defined as prolonged periods of drought, hazardous fires, the melting of the ice caps, just to mention a few symptoms. The bigger picture is - Mother Earth is changing.

The grey area of our human dilemma is that change can be construed as a negative or a positive. The impact on Mother Earth and human beings could be either negative or positive or maybe both. Individuals say, "What can I do to help the change in a positive way?" Here is the dilemma: most people find themselves caught up in a grey area of not knowing what to do and feel helpless into doing nothing.

Doing little simple things, however small it may be - such as recycling household waste or growing a garden - this is a step in the right direction. Little steps by many people can have a positive impact.

The macro issues (such as constructing pipelines all over the North American continent to carry toxic oil or bitumen) are an assault on Mother Earth and Her people. Dealing with the macro issues requires a desired effort of political leaders to stop this insanity. Things like that are part of the grey area, too. The grey area renders a helpless feeling.

What do people need to do about helpless feelings? They need to join together and lobby for change. The needed change is away from fossil fuels, and things like that, which will help to restore balance to the Earth. Meditating with the Invisible Helpers and with the Creator and seeking their guidance and direction is the way to deal with helpless feelings. This will help mitigate the grey area.
