I am amazed by the definition that I found on line for Predatory Capitalism<\/strong>. It states that this term \u201c\u2026refers to cultural acceptance of domination and exploitation as normal economic practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huh?! When did they<\/em> take that<\/u><\/em> poll \u2013\u2013 about whether we agree that this kind of predatory behavior is \u2018normal\u2019 and \u2018acceptable?\u2019 Aren\u2019t we, after all, essentially the \u2018prey?\u2019 Were we ever even surveyed?<\/p>\n

Then, there\u2019s that odd sound concurrence between Prey<\/strong> and Pray<\/strong>, which I find both unsettling and significant. You\u2019ll find mention of it in my 2020 blog entitled, \u2018Degringolade: The Word That Defines the Moment<\/a>.\u2019 If you haven\u2019t read it already, I encourage you to do so as it\u2019s one of my clearest explorations and explanations of the reciprocal relationship between the Word and the World and how we can Heal the Word to Heal the World.<\/p>\n

As for predatory capitalism, I play with that concept in The Book of E: A Book of Alphabet Alchemy<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>which is my Thank You gift to subscribers at my WordMagicGlobal site. It points out how people have always longed to live with greater eeeees. So, it\u2019s both metaphorical and ironical that skilled mountain climbers make arduous treks in frigid temperatures to reach a \u2018peak experience\u2019 at the summit of Mt. EverRest. Conversely, the capitol of U.S. Capitalism is aptly named Mt. RushMore.<\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t you tired of having to rush more just to try to keep up in the ever-more frenzied human Race? And isn\u2019t it fascinating how many ordinary words echo and reflect us back to ourselves?<\/p>\n

Now, as many leave their COVID cocoons to \u2018urn\u2019 their living in the workplace, can we find any ease in the midst of the rush to survive and achieve? My dear friend Anne Selby (YouAngelYou.com<\/a>) believes that \u2013\u2013 \u2018The whole exercise on Earth is to be at ease no matter what \u2013\u2013 and to let God pick up the slack.\u2019 She also says, \u2018God provides \u2013\u2013\u00a0unless we think God can\u2019t. And then we suffer.\u2019<\/p>\n

Whatever your preferred word for the Infinite Creative Intelligence happens to be, the more aware we are of the sweetness of this Divine Presence \u2013\u2013\u00a0that is our source, substance and essence \u2013\u2013\u00a0the easier it is to ride the massive waves of change we\u2019re undergoing individually and globally. It comes down to a simple and beautiful formula:<\/p>\n

Surrender to Divinity = Serenity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anne shared an invocation with me that I now put to frequent use: \u201cI declare Divine Order: Everything works out more exquisitely than I plan.\u201d As she suggests, I use this as a mantra at times to lift my spirits and vibration. This, then, strengthens my conviction in the Truth of this statement.<\/p>\n

However, there are also times when anxiety sits like a nervous bird on my heart. Thankfully, even then blessings often show up \u2013\u2013\u00a0often in miraculous ways. I believe it is the rudder of High Intentions that guides us through a tumultuous sea of troubles in the direction of Higher Ground \u2013 even and especially when we think we\u2019ve lost our way.<\/p>\n

So, regardless of how much rushing around we have to do to stay current with our personal Life\u2019s Dream, let\u2019s do our best to ease the tension from our minds and tune-in to our hearts where the sweetness of life is ever present everywhere \u2013\u2013 despite how things may look at any given time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
