Tremendous Opportunity

The tremendous opportunity reaching out in front of young people is unprecedented.

The glory of unified action through voting and social media has expanded beyond any previous generation.

Conscious stewardship of the earth, both within and without national borders, complements the power behind idealism.

The desire for universal good health and the ability to live with dignity is a vision of this new youth.

Striding together, youth leadership has articulated these values in a clear way.

It is an enormous privilege to watch this movement take place.

Practical and safe goals have led the way, taking away the greed of leadership in the previous generation.

Thank goodness the unbounded greed has overstepped its borders and is able to be routed.

Let this generation move forward with their energy and skill to build a world with dignity for everyone.

A Completely New Direction

The new generation is collectively becoming conscious of local and world events in a completely different way from previous generations.

There is an ability to identify as a group with what is happening in the world and to take power through communication.

The ability to related to others through cooperation is a new recent trend in American culture.

After generations promoting independence, we are seeing a new kind of interdependence.

Awareness of the cost of consumption is guiding major life decisions.

Growing up with the desire to see a greener planet is influencing home practices from elementary school on up.

Careers based on biosphere consciousness are emerging.

The speed of communication is allowing rapid support for causes. 

Fund raising can be practiced by the very young.

Idealism can gain support and be put into action quickly.

It is empowering to see the attraction and support of this idealism.

Suddenly, the power of the vote is being engaged as this generation becomes of age.

There is strong resistance to the destructive environmental practices of the past.

There is increasing awareness of the self-serving and well-funded efforts against the public good.

There are increasing movements to improve, restore, and expand what serves the public good.

The energy of idealism combined with the real and personal tragedies this generation is facing is producing a powerful political and economic force.

It is a worthy battle.

Knowing How to Be Alone

Without the input of opinions and media harassment, there is a place to be utterly alone.

Alone is the most precious space imaginable.

In it, you can hear yourself.

Your Self is that unique commitment and combination of ideas which constitute who you are.

These ideas constitute your identity and purpose.

You can never hear them amidst all the noise around you.

They only come from within.

They come from the quiet listening which you do until you feel the peace of certainty, and then you know it.

You know what to do.

You know when to do it.

You easily connect with how to do it.

Resources appear right in front of you.

You are compelled to act.

You don’t feel whole until you complete your art, your project, your organization.

Your unlimited purpose shines through the work that only you can do.

Being alone gives you the reference point you need at any time along the way.

It is here.

Listen.

Live With Great Conviction

You can see what works and what does not.

You can see the trends which have brought us to where we are now.

You can see your place in it.

Find out what is working for you.

If nothing is working for you, begin to create it.

Live with the conviction of what it is that lets you expand your sense of life as good.

Feel the deep peace within you and let it be your guide to what is right and most effective.

Live to release the powerful good within you.

Your ideas are valid and are taking shape.

Your individuality flows forth and shapes the world around you.

You have undeniable grace.

Your life is the power of forgiveness and the desire to rise from the very beginning.

Leave the debris of confusion at your feet.

There is right motivation and right action to support you in your every step.

Yours is a precious heart and from it flows immense power.

You are creating a new way to live in the world, one which includes respect for every one.

Your life is both individual and inclusive.

Your power permeates the whole world.

Clear Direction

A united and clear direction is occurring in young people.

There is more awareness and the ability to unite in strengthening and uplifting goals.

The power of commitment to turning the tide from the egregiously self-centered direction of current governance is enough.

It is sincere and heart-felt.

It is motivated by devastating personal loss.

This generation has been living with a warlike attitude from the government since 9/11.

Although this attitude has pervaded society to an extent, it has not completely overtaken the whole populace.

Those born into it do not find it natural.

Those with a commitment to the nurturing the higher elements of human nature do not find it natural.

The gut level resistance to such a low attitude toward humanity is gaining power.

Protecting humans and their young families from every part of the world is a proper course.

We are becoming united in our stand for humanity and humane treatment which will uplift the next generations.

We have a clear direction, and we are untied in following it.

Collectivity and Expansion

The new generation is experiencing an entirely different world.

Their goals are more collective.

More communication has been available throughout their lives than ever before.

The ability to convey ideas speedily on this scale is brand new.

The power behind this collectivity is impressive.

The possibility for expanding good ideas to include everyone is explosive.

There is more compassion and empathy through shared experiences.

We are working towards a realization of oneness which includes a good life for everyone.

This generation is more inclusive than any other previous generation.

They have a pure idea of generosity and inclusion and the means to carry it out.

They are the culmination of all that is bad and all that is good in the history of our world.

Their practical idealism can reshape the world and take it in a new direction on a larger scale.

The good and compassionate ideas to nurture all of humanity have always been here.

They just require the will to activate them and this generation looks like it has that.

Explosive Potential

The energy we are seeing in young people as they take their well-being into their own hands is formidable.

Using the power of social media to influence and effect change is their natural and effective tool.

That their rights are legitimate is unarguable.

They stand on a solid moral foundation.

Although up until now, many of their practices on social media have seemed frivolous and inconsequential, the way it is being used now is vital.

They are protecting themselves in ways which the previous generation could not provide.

They know the validity and value of their stand.

This idealistic fervor and the sincerity and morality of the demand to live in safety is challenging the way that greed has crept into the government narrative.

It is having a practical effect in combatting personal slurs against individuals through collective action.

These young people have experienced the most horrifying experiences possible to a profound emotional depth.

They have a justified cause.

And they are fighting back and taking matters into their own very capable hands.
