The society we've created

I'm not going to hold back on this post, it's just something that I feel I honestly need to express. The fact is, since the beginning of the Industrial Age, man has been on a perpetual quest for progress. Granted, this "progress" has brought us some ingenious inventions such as the automobile and the steam engine. However, it has also changed the face of society through the invention of mass agriculture. We quickly converted from being a nomadic society, to being very stationary. This non nomadic lifestyle has resulted in the mass depletion of resources from the earth to the creation of towns and cities where we formed a civilization based on the accumulation of "things". This gradual evolution of society has created many problems; the biggest one being our obsession with always needing more. Our constant need for material goods has created things like mega malls, superstores, fast food, casinos, and 24 hour shopping. All so we can get our fix. Where do we draw the line? At what point do we say, I have enough? Or is this whole game about always having more? The inspiration for this post was from something I read today that struck me; there are people living underground in the flood tunnels of Las Vegas. They live down there, they scavange, and they survive off of societys leftovers. It may be easy to step inside your big cozy home in the suburbs and forget about the starving people downtown, but you can't escape it forever. What we resist will persist, and eventually the reality we don't want to accept comes to stare us in the face. As a life coach, my job isn't to tell you the world is all pink roses....my job is to help to awaken to yourself. This means that you may see some things you don't necessarily want to see; some things you deliberately hid from your existence so that you didn't' have to accept them. I'm prepared to walk with you as we see everything...not just the positive, but the negative, and neither. Once you accept both as reality, then you can just be.
Well, this was good to get out there....and I see the importance of surrendering to it all in order to see clearly.
Thanks, till next time!
