A Grand Rising with Rev. Elisha

Divided or United? – In countries around the world, there appears to be a cultural clash between progressive and conservative people. Conservatives often lean towards tradition while progressives advocate for change. Social media has heightened this appearance of division. However, this division has existed throughout humanity. There have always been people more comfortable with tradition and others eager for change. This is how both traditions have persisted throughout the ages and progressive changes have been made. This is the great yin-yang balance of life. There’s room for all of us. But how do we co-exist peacefully? In the opening prologue of Dr. King’s book, “Strength to Love,” he wrote, “We must combine the toughness of the serpent, and the softness of a dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.” A collective Grand Rising requires that we keep our minds on the truth of our being while having compassion for others. As we begin each new day conscious of our ability to experience a grand rising within our own lives, our example inspires others to do the same.
