Light Conquers Dark Every Time


The only time when dark energies, which personify as hate-filled agendas, crime, and evil take place, is when enough good people do nothing.

There is much that you can do in your everyday life to help this world and where you live to lower the temperature of ego-filled and hostile attitudes. Be the first to find the missing empathy, compassion, Love and Light it takes to create a new healing path forward.

You can do this.

It is not about being right or wrong. It is about the gentle touch of your perspective about what all sides of the situation is going through, especially in complicated situations. No amount of retribution, threats, and negative options quells the insanity of perpetual violence. That only creates more, because what you focus on GROWS.

Now in the time to join to find more peaceful solutions to everyday family, work and social life. It is time to lower the hostile temperature that is increasingly spilling out into the world.

It all begins with you.

The wars of the world are only a side effect of the attitudes that each of us fuel every time we chose thought, words, and actions of the lower vibrational frequencies, such as fighting and not repairing all kinds of relationships when humanly possible.

It is so much easier to blame the other guy, but that solves nothing. Every person has the responsibility to create a better world in which to live.

All energy from moods, feelings, thoughts, words, and actions result from the fuel you ignite them with. They can change in the blink of an eye, but first you must be willing to try, or try again, or try again for the hundredth time.

I challenge every human being who reads this post, regardless of where you live in the world, to join me in purposefully choosing to make more empathetic, sympathetic, understanding, and compassionate thoughts words and actions from now on in every decision we make.

This is one way to stop the hate that appears to be running like the wild stallions across the plains. Be the impetus for change, change for a better tomorrow for everyone in the entire world.

CHAPTER 40.

Fear is Contagious ~ So is Courage

January 9, 2026

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill

Are you tired of being influenced and motivated by fear?

HAVE COURAGE.

There is a constant drumbeat of fear that echoes as an undercurrent in modern-day conspiracy theories and civic and social agendas. It is a way subtle and not so subtle leaders of groups have devised to get you to do what they want you to do.

Pay close attention. They want your mind, your time, and your money.

If you join their club, you will be absolved of your God-given free will, trading it instead for humanly contrived manipulations of your mind solely for their benefit. This happens in many groups such as those in religion, politics, and cults.

It is a gang mentality.

It starts out as a catchy ideology, a contagious new thought promising freedom, wealth, and liberty, while simultaneously enslaving your free will should you care to go further. Promising one thing while handing you another is a re-run by-product of George Orwell’s 1984, called double think.

HAVE COURAGE.

Roars of fear are plainly being played out on the world’s stage today. It is insidiously being indoctrinated into the minds of bible-belt children, and youth of the supposedly religious right-wing thinkers, with the repetitive negative drumbeat of fear, fear, fear with each striking of the drumstick.

  • Fear of others who are not exactly like themselves strikes at the heart of those with this hijacked mindset.
  • Fear that there won’t be enough food is shown on social media as if that is the truth.
  • Fear of water depletion, good, clean drinking water, and water to safely swim in is highlighted, as if there is no possible way to correct human error and waste.
  • Fear of lack of housing, goods, and clothing all get shined in the spotlight as if there is no way humanity can solve this issue.

HAVE COURAGE.

The reality is that there are numerous wholesome groups already at work in the world, helping the less fortunate, feeding and clothing the poor, and educating children and adults. You have the knowledge and ability to solve the global climate crisis when all the information is allowed to be reported. You also have seen one side of politics attempt to hide facts, such as global warming and climate change. Pretending that this is not happening is not helpful to you or the world. This is also at work in your world today.

Another reality is that all human beings are born with the Light and Life of our Spirits/Souls regardless of your gender, age, race, creed, or any other observation that notices the unique differences between individuals.

This is because all human beings are a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy which is God-given, not humanly derived. All Life is “God-given” in the religious comprehension, yet Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is not religious, but science based.

HAVE COURAGE.

The mentality of lack and agendas of fear are insidiously being indoctrinated into some home-schooling curriculums promising critical thinking while delivering fear to elementary school youth. I saw these curriculums online promoting that children in the USA need to be cautious against Socialism, Communism, and Marxism in the United States of America.

What they did not promote was the fact that the United States is a constitutional republic with social programs, like Social Security. The US Constitution protects the republic of the United States of America, meaning each one of us.

Let’s not go back to the 1950’s with ignorance at the helm of education, thinking white people with blue eyes are better than better than any other type of human being.

HAVE COURAGE.

Now is the time for you to call out racism, sexism, and all other hate crimes which are based in FEAR, because this is the UNITED Sates of America, the land of the FREE, not the oppressed.

By addressing the unbridled FEAR within you, and your children, you can continue to make the path of Liberty clear. This is something you need to stand up for, not becoming saddled by the FEARS of others manipulated agendas.

Whatever you focus on grows.

Beware The New Heretics ~ Signs To Watch Out For


A corrupt preacher manhandles an old lady demanding that she contribute. She is putting a few coins in the basket while in fact she has hundreds. Hypocrisy all around. This piece of artwork was created by Dan Gonzalez.

Anger is not the test of truth, nor a good motivator. Fear of any kind is an impure motive and ought to be recognized for what it is, a psychological tool used by unscrupulous people to incite others through the use of obligation, guilt, and manipulation. Watch out for all religious leaders who use these unholy tactics to obtain what they want. They have other agendas.

The saying such as, “By their stripes you shall know them,” and “You will know them by their fruit,” and “Pay attention when someone gets mad, that’s when their true colors show,” have grains of truth in them. No matter if such a person is in your life, in your relationship, or in the religion you choose, or in the politics that govern your wellbeing, recognize this sabotaging trait and deal with it immediately.

Do not continue to vote someone into office out of fear: fear someone will take your job, fear there is no more room in the vast expanse of the USA, fear of others who do not look like you in color, nationality, gender, age, nor religion. These are all manipulation tricks of cruel leaders who use religion for self-gain.

Silence is agreement.

The “Religious” Right, the once valid conservative political branch of the Republican Party to which I once belonged, has been infiltrated by dark energy of those whose agendas are not noble nor holy. Without the reckoning of all the hate groups and their actions that have usurped the once-valid political party, voters who are willfully blind to corruption from within, or who justify it due to what they term “the greater good,” will see the “communication skills” of the “Religious” Right be alright with, and resort to murdering more people in schools, churches, movie theaters, malls, and anywhere under the banner of “God,” and invasive political agendas.

No, both major political parties in the USA are not the same. Lies are not the same thing as truth. Lies and truth are not just a difference of opinion. One is right and one is wrong. Truth is not the same thing as lies. It is not all a matter of “misunderstanding,” or “spin.”

The United States of America is UNITED. We are not the separate states existing side by side.

The USA operates under the premise that there is a separation of church and state, for very good reasons. No one of us can tell another person what to believe by their faith, whether it is to be atheist, agnostic, Christian, Muslim, nor any other religion. Yet that is exactly what the “Religious” Right is trying to do.

Personally, as an interfaith Universal Life Church minister, I believe in “God,” the “Higher Power,” Holy Spirit, and Jesus, who actually came to Earth to tell us that the Kingdom, the Light of God, is WITHIN US. However, I have no right, religious or otherwise, to stoke fear into people who do not believe as I believe. Politicians, religious or otherwise, also have no right catering to any religion for political gain.

Greedy politician who pockets contributors hard-earned money for himself instead of the cause to which they donated.

Humankind’s selfishness is the prisonhouse of poverty. There is more than enough of everything to go around. Many politicians hide under the veil of religion, fear, obligation, guilt (FOG), and manipulation, saying one thing and doing another, while simultaneously stoking the renegade “religious” right into believing their lies as truth. By now, everyone has heard these lies.

The truth of sinister plots to overthrow the government under the guise of “religion” are rising to the surface. Check out matters for yourself. Watch the testimony of the political trials taking place for yourself. The offenders who tried to usurp our Democracy are currently telling on themselves because now they are under oath and can go to jail if they lie.

At least now, truth can be told. No one can say anymore that they do not know where the truth lies. It is painfully obvious.

Do not cater to threats, violence, nor the screaming and bellowing of the religious and political banshees. Truth always comes out in the end. If you have been duped by those who have stolen your money for their unholy purposes, it is better to finally realize it than to pretend and be included among them.

Peacefully stand up for integrity, truth, and honor. There is no need for guns or violence to do that.

God Bless Everyone Everywhere

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Panic Attacks


Stress? What stress?pma

Imagine you are here ~ no worries ~ nothing to do ~ RELAX We need to take care of our mental health, in addition to our physical health. Our mental health is important. We need to take better care of it. With physical health issues, we tend to take care of the things we need to take care of. If we ignore the first symptoms of a problem, the pain associated with the physical problem usually sends us to the doctor, even if it is inconvenient.

But those of us with mental health issues often have another hurdle to jump. Our pride, which is fed by our insane ego, suggests to us that if we were mentally strong enough, then we could simply wish our problems away, or worse yet, our insane ego might suggest that you are feeling so good, you should get off your medications because you do not need them anymore.

NEVER GET OFF ANY MEDICATIONS WITHOUT THE ADVISE OF YOUR DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBED THEM.

The following considerations work both for people currently on medications, and for those who are not on medications.

Let’s go back. Twice now I’ve referred to the ego as the insane ego. The ego very much wants to have a loud voice, no matter how shy you might be, in order to keep you alive. It does not like to have its voice squelched. However, our ego can make its presence known so loudly that we trip over it time after time. So I will be referring to our unbridled ego as the insane ego.

Our insane ego can rear up when we first become aware that we might be mentally unbalanced, overly frightened or overwhelmed, by suggesting that this problem “is all in your mind,” and that “It will go away.” Guess what? Problems, mental or otherwise do not go away when we do not deal with them.

It is important for good mental health, to acknowledge our feelings. Feelings are not right or wrong. They simply are. Unpleasant feelings like guilt, unworthiness, grief, and depression do not magically transform themselves by stuffing them deep, down inside you, or denying them. First we need to acknowledge them. Sometimes these feelings are so strong they create a physical pain, but that’s just the symptom of the emotional pain. Know this, once you identify the source of the problem and deal with it, the pain begins to lessen, while your personal power grows stronger.

Whatever you focus on grows. The more you focus on the anxiety, the more the anxiety grows. The good news is, the more you focus on relaxation, and doing the things that bring on the relaxation response, the more you will unwind and heal.

While it is not healthy to pretend we do not have anxiety, it is healthy to have a conscious plan including self-talk and mantras, simply phrases we keep repeating to ourselves to re-train our mind in how we think. Yes, there are times medications are needed, but quite often using these simple self-help tools work to reduce stress, restore mental balance and increase self esteem without them.

For panic attacks, remember to breathe. Nowadays we do not breathe right. When we do breathe, we do not get the same amount of oxygen as we did a century ago due to so much pollution in the air. Plus we are cutting down the rainforests in the world, which are the lungs of the planet. So, remember to take slow, deep breaths. After taking 15 slow, deep breaths, your blood pressure usually returns to normal.

You need to know, if this hasn’t occurred to you already, that you are not going to “feel” like doing any of this. Once the negative habit of anxiety has rooted in you, a little voice inside of you will start by telling you, “This is stupid,” or “It won’t work,” or “I don’t feel like it.” It’s like you have the negative you on one side, and the positive at-least-wants-to-try-to-be-positive you on the other side. Realize this before hand so you expect it, then consciously take the steps to get better anyway.

Yes, you can get better.

To reduce stress, make sure each day includes stretching, Yoga or walking. Remember to move your body in five different directions. For example, you could do a forward bend, arch your back backwards, lean from the waist to one side sliding your hand down your outer calf or you can reach, then do the same thing on the other side. Lastly, do some sort of twist, gently. None of these moves need to be extreme. They just need to be done. This helps you by releasing those feel-good endorphins. Start by doing this for five minutes, then gradually over a few days increase to 15-20 minutes each day, rain or shine.

Listen to happy music you like. Relaxing music helps a lot.

Know too that the world is not going to come to an end if you do not get everything on your to-do list done. Your head already knows this, yet somehow we place enormous burdens on ourselves, out of a misguided goal of perfection. Accept yourself right where you are, right now, with all limitations you see. Ask the good God who made you for the assistance you need. It is not
