A Spiritual Conspiracy

On the surface of our world right now
There is war, violence, and craziness
And things may seem dark.
 
But calmly and quietly
At the same time
Something is happening underground.
 
An inner revolution is taking place
And certain individuals
Are being called to a higher light.
 
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up.
 
This is a global co-operation
That has sleeper cells in every nation.
It is a planetary Spiritual Conspiracy.
 
You won't likely see us on T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper.
You won't hear from us on the radio.
 
We don't seek glory.
We don't wear any uniform.
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles.
 
We are in every country and culture of the world
In cities big and small, mountains and valleys
In farms and villages, tribes and remote islands.
 
Most of us work anonymously
Seeking not recognition of name
But profound transformation of life.
 
Working quietly behind the scenes
You could pass by one of us on the street
And not even notice.
 
We go undercover
Not concerned for who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done.
 
Many of us may seem to have normal jobs.
But behind the external storefront
Is where the deeper work takes a place.
 
With the individual and collective power
Of our minds and hearts
We spread passion, knowledge, and joy to all.
 
Some call us the Conscious Army
As together
We co-create a new world.
 
Our orders come from the Spiritual Intelligence Agency
Instructing us to drop soft, secret love bombs
when no one is looking.
 
We each express ourselves
In our own unique ways
With our own unique gifts and talents.
 
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
That is the motto that fills our hearts.
We know this is the path to profound transformation.
 
We know that quietly and humbly
Individually and collectively
We have the power of all the oceans combined.
 
At first glance our work is not even visible.
It is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains.
 
And yet with our combined efforts
Entire tectonic plates
Are being shaped and moved for centuries to come.
 
Love is the religion we come to share
And you don't need to be highly educated
Or have exceptional knowledge to understand it
 
Love arises from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse
Of all living beings.
 
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Nobody else can do it for you.
Yet don't forget, we are all here supporting you.
 
We are now recruiting.
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
 
For in this spiritual conspiracy
All are welcome, and all are loved.
The door is always open.
