To rebalance the masculine the feminine perspective focuses on the needs of people, particularly children. It is not a left wring perspective it is natures way of rebalancing what is out of balance. Corruption is a disruption that ignores the rules as money becomes the primary focus to enrich the ego, to have more, to feel status and curry influence. This comes from insecurity within the one corrupt, or it could be role models who discount honesty as not practical or it can be emotional disconnection which blocks empathy as they are mind identified and taught to ignore feelings. The feeling aspect of humanity is the natural navigator that rebalances social configurations to ensure homeostasis. I feel to explain this as we can come from mindsets that divide the world. Emotinal disconnection in truth is a mental health issue. The only way 1 in 10 children can wind up in conflict zones is because adults have not placed the child at the centre of society, they placed their own interests and allowed their values and virtues to be sidelined in favour of profiting personally.
Corruption is a deficit state of being, always it operates on a win/lose paradigm. Wholeness is an integration of mind, body and spirit. Spiritual deficits reflect in moral disconnection where the wrold is separate and gains are seen as winning. In deeper perspectives there is no win when one loses. As implications play out in unseen ways and always that imbalance has to be repaid not as punishment but through awareness of how an action feels. I feel to say this spiritually. I will now bring in a karmic reflection – in this life or the next. Life has its own rebalancing mechanism to ensure growth through experience. Unconditional love in truth is what cancels out karma.
You cannot fight corruption in truth as you enter the drama and tend to mirror the negativity that the other is projecting. Whatever you fight will become stronger. Not only that children can be hurt if they visibly oppose or hurt others. You can only make visible truth and if inspired encourage others to follow what they know intuitively is right for them. This is honouring who you are. There is a saying ‘the highest betrayal is the betrayal of self’ as we know when we engage in corrupt behaviour and hurt others. You have to live with that as you paper over actions with justifications that never can fully convince you or your ‘rightness’.
The only premise on any action is to ensure it is nonviolent as this ensures no guilt and that actions are based on ethics to ensure positive outcomes. For myself, at the end of the day I want positive outcomes for the other as insight for them is the highest gift on this journey.
Thinking about the issue I would offer my work as a solution www.worldpeacefull.com (see school programs). You can only teach the next generations universal values that are integrated experientially to help them emotionally learn that what you do to others returns to the self. They develop empathy, collaboration skills, nonviolence, peaceful inquiry, conflict resolution and empathy to blend with others rather than ‘self interested’ or selfish reactions. We have to learn how to solve problems in order to arrive at proactive solutions. Many people react but do not actually solve the real emotional problem that lies beneath the surface of those corrupt and those who allow it in the name of fear and persecution. My peace, nonviolence and anti-bullying program is REAL HOPE refer http://schools.worldpeacefull.com/anti-bullying/ The model is REAL HOPES. Therefore when you are responsible you have the ability to respond, you can do something. Empathy stands in the shoes of the other and imagines how they feel. Awareness is to be ‘still’ and feel for truth noticing what is happening in all directions without judgement. Love is to practice unconditional love as all are here for a learning journey, many know not what they do. Can we look beyond appearances and love them not as appeasement but by example. Honesty is to know thyself and be true, to speak truth in a myriad of ways as we don’t hurt with truth but seek to be clear. Oneness is that we are really connected in physical and spiritual ways that go beyond appearances, to realise there are stories playing out and that we share the one earth. Peace is the rebalancing of yin/yang which constantly moves dynamically, we are both the dark and light elements as sometimes we are peace, other times sad/fearful/angry so we are the world we see as we can recognise it. Humility naturally arises at this point as you see yourself in elements or if you can’t if you really went deep into yourself you may recognise the same energy (intent) at some point in your life so you understand. Enjoyment is to live with joy as this is a high frequency feeling and it can empower through making light of things, seeing the humour in it, letting go of the heaviness/seriousness so apparent in war zones, yet interestingly there can be great humour (not a well known fact) as it helps people cope with the insanity of violence, they poke fun at leaders or archetects of the violence. Service is when you integrate the natural emotions and heal the past to be able to serve others as yourself. You empty yourself of neediness and self interest to be available to meet people without an agenda. There is no separation in this state of being as you see others as yourself and you cannot have less by giving as the giving is the receiving which enriches naturally. Life responds to this abundance and more comes. These are natural laws not known at this time, only in indigenous circles I would imagine. In this state of service is gratitude and incredible joy in serving as happiness and peace is your highest wish for all. Serving does not mean doing it for others, sometimes standing back and allowing another their path is the highest service. It really means being available and open to share what you have. It is kindness in action.
That is how I would resolve corruption and overtime it would peter out as it is no fun and the edge, the win, the gain is really illusionary as life sends more deficits in a myriad of ways. I send love to the children and the corrupt persons who are still unable to see they create realities that cause suffering.
| Hi Susan,
We recently celebrated International Youth Day, highlighting issues that affect young people and the difference they can make in the world.
The theme this year was safe spaces for youth. In a time when 1 in 10 of the world’s children live in conflict zones, it is vital that young people have places where they can develop whilst being included, empowered and happy. These could be civic spaces where they can contribute to their communities, public ones to enjoy sport and leisure, and also secure digital spaces to socialise without borders.
Again and again, corruption deprives young people of these resources. When contracts for urban development get awarded to bribe payers, parks and leisure centres don’t get built. When funds for power stations get embezzled, internet connections break and children get isolated. Furthermore, young people aren’t safe in towns where police sell weapons instead of serving their communities.
Children deserve an end to corruption, and across the world Transparency International empowers them to fight corruption themselves. TI Lithuania’s Transparency International School on Integrity has given intensive anti-corruption training to future leaders from about 110 countries.
At our Cambodian chapter’s International Youth Camp, young people from seven Asian countries learn how to plan, propose and implement anti-corruption projects. Those with the best proposals receive funding to carry out their projects. One attendee said: “I have a dream and I want to make it happen, in real life.”
Young people are not just our future. They are key to creating a just, peaceful and prosperous world right now. |

After decades of fighting corruption, measured by hundreds of new (or renewed) commitments, institutions and laws, as well as by millions of euros spent, success stories are still the exception, not the norm. This raises the question, what does and does not work in fighting corruption? |
