What’s Next?

by Suzanne Toro June 3, 2020

I have always asked a lot of questions. I have been this way since I was a little girl. I am not afraid to talk with people with different perspectives. I actually value what they have to say. I want to know ‘why’.

My fairy god mother and I would drive around in her bright yellow VW bug. She would smoke, I would put out her cigarette at the age of 5. The questions would follow after I put out each cigarette. I wanted to know, WHY? We would cruise to the local galleries and museums…I was intrigued with life, culture and people. I wanted to understand humanity on a deeper level. I am still that way today. I love talking with people. I have deep compassion for humanity and want to engage in meaningful conversations and thoughtful debate with as many people that are willing. I love those conversations. That is hard to come by these days. Typically, I am immediately sized up, judged, told I am not worthy, threatened, blocked or wished to get ill/die. Yet, I am still that little 5 year old girl, asking a lot of questions. I am still that little girl that wants the best for my fairy god mother and humanity. If I ever get the chance to write about my great love affair it will be all about my love for HUMANITY. I am riveted by the human condition. The tenuous dance between duality, consciousness and inner and outer evolution. It captivates me.

Which, is why…MY HEART feels broken today. As I bared witness, to ‘what is’ unfolding across AMERICA, I thought surely the other cities will prepare. When, I realized this was not going to happen here in Long Beach, California I was filled with WHYS?

Then, my investigative reporting side kicked in. We drove directly into the belly of the BEAST. You can see one of the videos below this post. See in my great love affair with HUMANITY, I have a few achilles tendons. One is I will that react when HUMANITY is being manipulated and/or if someone is being treated differently or unfair. I have been this way all my life. I have always advocated for those who are not given equality or being held hostage to situations beyond their control. So, here is where this situation gets REAL for ME. The HUMANS are being manipulated and put in a very dangerous position not by our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT but by our LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. Simply put that elevates my heart rate and instinctively puts me into PROTECTOR mode. I have jumped out of a moving car to help another HUMAN. I am pretty sure this part of me will only deepen verses fall away. Especially, how I instinctively wanted to STOP the MILITANT GROUPs in their tracks. I WANTED TO KNOW…WHY? My heart is heavy because today I realize our local leaders across the USA and world are clearly not FOR HUMANITY. Otherwise, they would have taken proactive measures…NO MATTER ‘WHO’ IS DEMANDING THEY DO OTHERWISE.

SO, my question to ALL LOCAL CITY Officials and all of humanity rest here…

Where were you all on Saturday and SUNDAY?

The surrounding cities are ‘A DAY LATE’ and a ‘DOLLAR SHORT’.

Why did you all decide not ‘TO BE’ proactive?

You all must have seen what was unfolding in 29 cities across the USA. You all have access to intel that the public does not have. You all heard the DOJ announce that these were planned and coordinated interstate attacks on Saturday and FEDERAL CRIMES.

Why did you all wait?
Why did you encourage peaceful protest?
Why did you not move the demonstrations to OPEN PUBLIC SPACES (BEACHES, PARKS, MOUNTAIN TOPS, ZOOM and more SAFE SPACES….SAFETY FIRST)
?

Why did you all avoid setting up the businesses and shopping/business districts for security?

(Dropping off plywood, blocking off roads in, and putting the national guard in sooner to protect the infrastructure)

Why did the local municipalities fail to take STRATEGIC ACTion?

I am deeply shocked by what I saw Sunday and saddened. WATCHING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DESTROYING BUSINESSES WITH NO ONE STOPPING THEM. This is A BIG WHY for LONG BEACH and CITIES across AMERICA…Especially, because this city (“Long BEACH”) organizes like no other city I have ever been part of. The clean up today and ply-wood store fronts were well orchestrated. That should have happened on Saturday. I want to know WHY?

In the future, LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES please consider CONSULTING PROFESSIONALS, TACTILE MILITARY PROFESSIONAL in the PRIVATE SECTOR to assist GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS in making decisions. It is clear to me that PUBLIC OFFICIALS have NO ‘real’ RISK MANAGEMENT experience (or natural ideas on the value of taking risks) from COVID to RIOTS. We CAN DO BETTER. I think it is time to ‘TAKE OFF THE MASKS’ and have a HEART to HEART. STOP POLICING ‘US’.

Clearly ‘THE PEOPLE’ could have done better by their communities than our local agencies. I value the possibilities of a city infrastructure; yet, I have lost FAITH IN it over the last 3 months. WE THE PEOPLE will need to consider how we can take care of our communities, heal together and transform into something that works in symbiosis with each other. This is POSSIBLE.

HUMANITY YOU ARE THE ONES YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. While, my heart is broken, I will never stop loving and championing for the HUMANITY in all of US.

(CLARIFICATION… I have been accused of being “racist”. Anyone that knows me well…knows that is absolutely a false claim. I am honestly asking these questions because I am concerned for the city I love and the country we live in. I am concerned for humanity. I have raised my kids in Long Beach because I love the diversity and community of all life. My plight in life is to foster healing and transformation for aspects of humanity that I get to serve. Finally, I am not involved in politics nor am I affiliated with any political party. I stay informed and research ‘what is’. Then, I work with that body of information to serve where I can to create change.)

WHAT’s NEXT?

enlighten me

The trend of yoga, mindfulness, ritual and spiritual mystique that has become commonplace in health, wellness, business, entertainment, athletics and personal lives globally. In fact, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, there are billions of photos on the World Wide Web documenting and expressing these practices, teachings, selfies, goods and more. All of which probably support and inspire many in one way or another. Yet, are any of these odes truly a sign of one’s level of consciousness or indicator they ARE or Soon TO BE” enlightened?

I would respond, “NO.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of what is portrayed as sacred or wisdom has an essence of grasping underplayed by the beautiful mask that is offered. The mask contains seeds that will eventually awaken in the pretender and in those who sip it up. (Click Here to Read More)

Asteya | Non-stealing, a yama, ethical behavior pl Asteya | Non-stealing, a yama, ethical behavior plus respect for self and others. At the surface level, most of humanity understands this universal commandment, “thou shall not steal”. Found in many theological texts and indigenous tribal ways of life. There are deeper threads to this wisdom that ultimately unfolds as you practice non-stealing or simply choose to participate in a respectful way of life.

The subtle layers of asteya are very profound when you begin to observe them in and around you. Intertwined with this is to not covet (desire/grasp for) what others have. This is not limited to material things. This includes coveting another person’s mental, physical, emotional and/or spritual states of being. This would encompass being envious of their relationships, success and so on. Another facet of practicing non-stealing is to avoid accumulate unnecessary ‘stuff’ (aka hording). This is stealing physical space and keeping what might be needed from another. SPACE (ETHER) is the most powerful element to work with. More motivation to keep extra ‘space’ near you. Further introspection, reflect on how you are respecting your time and others, consistently showing up late is viewed as stealing another person’s time. The most precious energy you have to offer is your ‘time’. Finally, emotionally respecting another individuals goals and dreams, undermining them is stealing their joy. These additional layers can give you greater context to the subtle ways your mind, body, heart and soul can practice asteya. When you have a deeper awareness at how close you are to embodying ‘asteya’…you will be entering a life that is authentically abundant. Essentially shifting from taking to receiving + giving. The interdependent flow within all of us and nature. Reciprocation.

A path of abundance rather than restriction. “Sutra 2.37 : when one is firmly established in non-stealing, all jewels appear.” Yoga Sutras, Patanjali

Shifting Tides.

Lately, I have been practicing something I was shown in nature by the great mother herself. The power of subtraction. I have talked about this before. In that moment, I was shown the importance of removing ‘energy’ (in all forms) on a consistent basis. I could not imagine how many ways I would apply this teaching. The practice creates space to discover what is truly beneath all the layers of complexity that you have added to your inner and outer worlds.

Being we are entering Fall and Spring, this is the perfect time to subtract from all aspects of life. The key is to allow the space to rest once the debris is removed. Allow yourself to feel the extra space moving in and around you. It will support you in discovering where you need and want to focus your attention. If you keep moving without subtracting energy in your life, before you know it, many aspects of self will start to feel off balance and overwhelmed. The space will provide you with the opportunity to breathe, ground and see.

As inspired, give yourself permission to SUBTRACT. PAUSE. BE. Then, see if you want to let the new space remain clear during fall/spring or add something back in or redirect your attention where it is needed.

Humanity (yes all of you), we are in this powerful transition, it can be disorienting because as simple, divine humans. . . we want everything to remain the same. Yet, the constant is CHANGE. As you are inclined, flow with the change that is upon us. The elemental ETHER will lead the way.
