Part 1 showed we need to overhaul our national character education. Lessons from the past can inspire us to adopt good, positive, character traits that serve our children and our nation.
If you’ve paid any attention to the financial turmoil traumatizing the world during September, 2008, you agree change is necessary.
September 16, 2008 represented a historic move in the US: our government bailed out one of the world’s largest financial institutions, AIG, with a gift of 85 billion dollars.
This may or may not stop the hemorrhaging of our financial institutions and since I’m no financial expert, I won’t attempt to answer that.
To read an excellent accounting of corporate waste, mismanagement, and the astronomical national debt we’ve created in the USA, look up the Icahn Report in Google.
However, I am an expert at what makes for healthy living and what we’re experiencing as a nation is a big, loud, wake up call!
Neither Presidential candidate talked about solutions that deal with the root causes of our financial crisis and the rest of the problems plaguing our beautiful country.
Events of the past 20 years clearly demonstrate we are not a healthy nation, regardless of how much money we have in our bank accounts nor how much stuff we have in our homes, garages, and storage sheds.
Our nation no longer lives with character values that make us a glowing symbol of freedom and love around the world. Instead, we’ve become a greedy nation hell-bent on fulfilling immediate needs and instant gratification, like little kids who never grew up.
We must begin to ask the question: how can we transform ourselves from a nation obsessed with material well-being to a nation whose foundation is based on spiritual and moral values?
How can we become a nation where love rules the roost and stuff is just stuff, not the end all and be all?
Until we get at the root of the problems, and they all stem from the same root, we merely put band-aids on wounds that temporarily stop the bleeding.
We need powerful character education lessons more now than ever.
How to Become a Healthy Nation with Outstanding Character Traits
The solution I offer will startle, surprise, and may even make you laugh. You’ll think I’ve lost all my marbles and then some.
Whatever your response, bear with me a few more moments. Remember the old sayings, “We don’t know what we don’t know” and “If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting the same results.”
We’ll become a healthy nation when the majority of us eliminates subconscious programming that causes us to respond to life as children.
Then, we can replace that programming with updated, new programs.
In the past 30 years, energy healing techniques have emerged in mind body medicine that can quickly, painlessly, without drugs, remove the negative programming people received as children growing up.
