Let's Wake Up World

More and more these days I find myself shaking my head at the inhabitants of this planet.  It seems like everyone is fast asleep, waiting for some unknown point in the future for things to get better.  It seems that many are so asleep that they only live in a world of fantasy, make believe, and the feel good drugs of happy thoughts, new age monuments, and religious fanaticism. 

Before you go pointing the finger at everyone else or some other religion and practice outside of yourself, stop right there!  I'm talking to everyone, not just everyone else that isn't reading this blog post.  If that makes you uncomfortable or you find yourself thinking I've gone off the deep end, you're right at the spot you need to be.  Don't stop reading now - keep going because I'm going to attempt to explain this and hopefully I don't fail miserably.
