Open Letter to the "Conscious" Community

Dear Conscious Community, We truly appreciate you. Your enlightenment is a gift that must continue to be shared. It is understood that sharing knowledge and expecting results can be a frustrating process, however a good teacher must be patient with its students. Imagine if you went to school on the first day class and all the teacher did was criticize you for not knowing what they were about to teach you.... imagine that. All too often this is exactly what is happening within the Conscious community.

When a person gets Cancer, do we punish and demean them?  The answer is No.  We begin to offer treatment, so in a sense, If a person is engaged in a cancerous way of being, or pattern of thought, we should not criticize or speak condescendingly of them.

“Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today.”

-Malcolm X

Out of respect for one of our favorite intellectuals to date, we must not throw stones at the very ones we are trying to save. That is unless there is an underlying sense of disgust for what you yourself may have once been, and that needs to be addressed in another way. The Sole purpose of gaining knowledge is essentially survival. As they say,  Knowledge IS power, but one must not be a control freak, or abuse such power. Being a good leader requires charisma, You have to be able to get people to buy what you are selling.  It can be extremely difficult to get your point across to someone if you are making them feel inferior in the process. 

It is my challenge to the "Wake Up" Community to adjust your sales pitch. Be more understanding , and realize that everyone comes to the light at their own pace and will not always see things your way immediately. Believe it or not, People actually DO want the world to get better. Terms such as "Coon", "Lost", "Sleep" or "Sheep" are destructive terms and offer no value to the development of others. I challenge you to replace these words with terms like "Unaware" or "Untaught". Assume more responsibility for the ones who you feel the need to preach to and be less judgmental of those who do not seem to Understand. Evaluate yourself and your journey first, because you weren't born knowing everything you know today. Somebody taught you too!
