EQUITY

EarthLight’s mission is simple: to share Samuel’s teachings and be our best, high-frequency Beings, consciously Living Love while we do that.

But while our mission is simple, our world is not; we can’t pretend the injustice, hatred, and multitude of imbalances in the world will suddenly be healed and whole as a result of making Samuel’s work available to the world. That’s reality.

The US is where we live, and we’re learning that our country is bound to a system of white superiority which shows up in every layer of society. Our eyes are opening and we are appalled. We are seeing serious and consistent problems with inequitable and unjust functions, beliefs, and behaviors—both conscious and unconscious—particularly in the areas of criminal justice, education, corporate consciousness, finance, housing, and health care.

Clearly EarthLight can’t “fix” any of these things by ourselves. What we can do is help re-empower individuals and recognize ways in which, together, we can change this long-standing racial paradigm and bring positive changes to our nation and our world.

While we have been predominantly a group of “nice white people,” we have striven to be inclusive in embracing all people who are interested in our work. And in spite of our best efforts we are recognizing that the seeds of racism and white supremacy have seeped into our very comfortable way of being. We are just waking up and learning how to help create a fairer, more just world. We are striving to change our language, our programs, and our behaviors in ways that would be more effective in our Love-based desires for world change, particularly as it relates to long embedded racism and white superiority. From the heart we mean that, and deeply appreciate your help as we help guide Samuel’s work.
