“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” – Voltaire

Honestly, while I have very strong feelings about Occupy Wall Street, I propose that anyone who is an energy worker or who wishes to pray, light a candle, do a ritual, whatever spiritual or metaphysical practice you prefer, do so with the following aims in mind:

1. To protect the protestors and keep them safe from within and without. (Points to the quote above). Our first amendment guarantees the right to assembly and the right to free speech. It also guarantees the freedom of the press. For any of these rights to be denied for any reason weakens us all.

2. That the issues of income inequality and the plight of the poor, disabled, senior, or disadvantaged of those among us come to light, and that all work toward a solution that is healthy for all.

3. That those in power over the Corporations realize that the root of the word Corporation is cooperate, and that their actions may have directly, or indirectly, created the environment in which the issues of #2 have flourished.

4. That those in political power remember the basic tenant of our Constitution: by the people, for the people.

5. That those in power remember that if they deem Corporations to be people like you and me, then Corporations must be held to the same levels of justice and accountability that citizens are.

Therefore, I call upon all reiki and other energy workers, those who wish to pray or meditate or simply send positive thoughts towards these goals. I believe these goals transcend political party or ideology. These goals transcend religion. And I believe that these are good goals for all of us to have.

So mote it be.
