Juneteenth is a time to celebrate freedom, reflect on how far our nation has come, and recommit to the work that needs to be done to remove discrimination and exclusion from society.  Over 46 States and DC celebrate Emancipation Day which observes the end of slavery in the U.S.

News of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1,  1983 did not reach Texas until 2.5 years later, on June 19, 1965.  Union Major General Gordon Granger’s announcement in Galveston, Texas, freed 250,000 human beings living in slavery.  No one can change or improve the past, nor can we make the best better.  But we can all take collective and individual action and play a part in ending modern-day slavery with over 40 million humans living in slavery right now.  (See Global Slavery Index).  Let us all keep working to build a more equitable and just world without barriers to justice, achievement, progress, and opportunity.

Why is this day important?  It is a day to explore how we are separate from nothing.  On this day, we see We Are All One with each other. It is a day to talk about living in Oneness in practical ways, to revere and nurture life as the prime value.  This day calls us to serve life first, to preserve humanity and all of life’s diversity.  What an incredible transformation our precious planet will make when we realize our global unity and learn to respect our awesome, beautiful diversity.

Celebrate Juneteenth by finding ways to celebrate freedom and seek solutions with the values of diversity and inclusion which include respect and equality for all people.  Recognize this day with a unity in which the problems which face humanity today can be solved.  Now is the time to give up psychological positions of all kinds that cause people to take separate sides. Let us move linked together to a new level of global unity — for that is just what we are; one planet, one world, one human family of diversity, beauty and splendor.

Inclusion comes into being when an individual understands humanity’s true nature as consciousness. This human awareness is the one thing we all have in common.  When we experience the whole, we see that we are each other.  The all is contained within the one.  The realization of humanity’s true essential nature as consciousness is the only bridge connecting us all.   Inclusivity helps lead us toward the reality of our oneness because everyone is included.   When all is said and done, out of many we are one!

Racists come in every human color.   A racist is a human being that believes in and identifies with the idea of race. If you think that you or another human being has or is of a race, then you are a racist. Racism will not end until the psychological dependence on the idea of race is clearly seen as illusory and absurd.  The idea of a race is nothing more than a belief imposed by society.  Everything else is an effect of belief in that idea.  You cannot end racism without seeing the falseness of the idea of race.  Humanity has one race, the human race.

The Mindfulness Movement is uniquely geared for this pivotal time in human history because the unity of mankind is now possible.  Rectifying economic, social and institutional inequity only addresses the effects and symptoms of racism, not the inward psychological causes.  Once we learn the psychological causes of the past we can make sure those causes are not within our own minds and hearts.  This is true freedom.  The oneness of mindfulness is not a matter of agreement or disagreement. It comes into being when an individual understands humanity’s true nature as consciousness. This human awareness is the one thing we all have in common.   Now is the time to give up psychological positions of all kinds that cause people to take separate sides. Let’s move linked together to a new level of global unity — for that is just what we are; one planet, one world, one human family of diversity, beauty and splendor.

The world today has advanced materially in science, technology, transportation and communication, connecting our world as never before. But the world needs to advance psychologically and grow to see ourselves as one race — the human race — sharing one collective global village. The word atonement derives from “at one ment”; in a state of returning to our essential being of oneness with all in the universe. There is only one race, the human race. 100% human, each and every one.   When the idea of race no longer dwells in an individual’s heart and thinking, then that person is truly free of racism. The freedom of oneness and global unity is a society of such free individuals. World peace is a natural consequence.

As we shift into the New Year, please join a global wave of meditation for peace.  With millions united together in meditation or an end to militarism, materialism, violence and war, and the beginning of a new era of peaceful coexistence for humanity. To cherish all LIFE, to care for one another and this fragile beautiful Earth, our home.

World spiritual traditions and leaders have been encouraging us to do this for over 2000 years. If not NOW, when? If not us, then who will dance this dream into reality?

Let us meditate for children and their families suffering now in war zones around the world; for Mother Nature and our future descendants who are depending on humanity to become wiser and more compassionate as a species.

There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

Won’t you join me?
