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.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms,” Ephesians 6:12
The following comes from Chapter 5 of my a2024 INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARDS-winning book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM:
Numerous Old Testament and New Testament sources cite scriptures that confirm this is still possible.[1] The choice is yours. But before you have a free will choice, you need to be aware that other negative influences of others that might not be as innocent as you might first think.
It is prudent to take an extra moment to assess if something seems off to you. Bring the matter to mind in a conscious way, enabling you to think more deeply about the choices before you, and their ramifications. Are they filled with Wisdom and Love, or the opposite?
Look at what happened in 325 CE when the Council of Nicaea[2] took place, soon after the war between the Roman Empire against the Persian Empire, waged by Roman Emperor Julian. He wanted to revert to paganism yet needed to solidify the people. The Council of Laodicea declared Christian beliefs in the Creed, with only 30 like-minded bishops from six of the Latin-speaking regions of the Western world. There were 1,800 bishops at that time.
Who decided not to include the once Sacred Scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt from the scriptures that would become our current bible?
Most of the exclusion came at the hands of certain bishops, popes, anti-popes, and the Roman Emperors Julian and Jovian in the fourth century CE as the Christian religion was in the throes of becoming, or remaining, the official religion of the not so holy Roman Empire.
It is said that, before a pivotal battle, Emperor Constantine saw a cross in the sky and took it to mean if he converted to Christianity, he would win the battle. So, he did. (Such a wonderful reason for turning to the peaceful teachings of Christ). In 324 CE, he named the Christian religion, which had up until then, to one degree or another, been a reason for persecution by the government, to be the official religion of Rome. His successor, Julian, didn’t feel the same way. He wanted to return to the old order of pagan gods and Christian persecution.
At the Council of Laodicea, Julian and the bishops who were invited decided that, among other things, any stories of women being of prominence in the religion would be squashed, as would stories of fallen angels taking on human qualities and walking the earth. Other things discarded were the stories of the multiple “gods” who ruled the earth in early times, or their several re-incarnations. Most of what was found in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures and some of what was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was left out.
What was going on in the Christian religion at that time?
Let’s see, there was Pope Liberius who was exiled by the emperor who then installed Felix II in 355 CE. Felix II was one of the anti-popes. The Council of Laodicea was held in 363 CE and 364 CE to establish what stories would be told in the Christian religion. The emperor Julian died in 363 CE. Then the leadership of the Roman Empire suffered some very quick successions, and between 363 CE and 366 CE there were four different Roman emperors, some ruling simultaneously.
When Felix II died in 366 CE, the Christian people elected Ursinus to be pope. At the time, however, the people’s choice also had to be run by the emperor for his ratification, and Damasus, who also wanted to be pope, and who had supported the high-born followers of Felix II the anti-pope, hired a bunch of thugs to massacre the followers of Ursinus.
Ursinus was exiled and Damasus became pope. Strangely, Ursinus (the people’s choice) was called the anti-pope. Damasus, (obviously the emperor’s choice,) was now the pope. He decided to solidify the findings of the Council of Laodicea that had been held during the Papacy of Felix II the anti-pope while Liberius (the real pope) was in exile. Those findings decided which books would be entered as the official bible of the Christian religion. Human error became the “word of God.”
Suffice it to say that at that time the scriptures were massaged to closely mirror the patriarchal society of Rome keeping in line with the inequality of gender judgments of the Christian, orthodox, and political religions.
It was the Catholic bishops attending the Council of Laodicea who unified theology, agreeing to ban the writings of the words of Jesus held within the bosom of books termed Apocryphal today. I would like to point out that it is no accident that politics and religion combined in that effort to spread the Roman Empire all over the world.
Have you ever noticed the Roman Catholic Church in just about every city in the world?
Jesus AND science follow the Eternal Universal Law of Nature within the accepted Laws of Thermodynamics, which I repeat here for emphasis since most religions trip on this part. Most religions teach that God always was, always will be, and always remains the same.
Religion’s understanding can only hold true IF religion’s comprehension allows for the fact that Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiences and learns in and through you and me in the vast experiment of the Creation within eternity, thereby becoming part and parcel with all of it, animate and seemingly inanimate. This changes with each lived experience.
If religion’s “God” already knew the experience of Love and Wisdom, along with the effects of lack of Love and Wisdom within all the angels, fallen angels, humanity, and every other creation of which we are barely cognizant, there would be no reason for this ghastly experiment of life.
The reason we are here is not merely for some cosmic game of win or lose. It’s as if we need to be shaken by our shoulders, metaphysically speaking, to shake off the cobwebs of indoctrination of the eons of time, to finally understand that the Light that animates your life and my life, is Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiencing Itself. This knowledge matters. If we do not come to grips with this reality now, we commit ourselves to other lifetimes until we do. Re-member, infinity is infinite. Yes, I spelled remember as re-member.
Why?
To re-member is to re-connect us to the bigger whole of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy.
The problems that have tripped up societies in history throughout the world when politics and religion are combined, are the same problems occurring globally today. It would be wise to pay attention, so we do not invite cataclysms into our lives and the planet, as if we did not know better.
Turning a blind eye to Truth because of underlying religious and political undertones masking and giving permission to violent behaviors as justification for religious beliefs, wreak havoc on a civil society seeking the betterment of humanity, on one hand, while simultaneously causing the chaos they blame on others, on the other hand. Here is another example of doublethink of George Orwell’s 1984, holding two opposite ideas in your mind and believing both.
We see this playing out on the world’s stage today. We are smarter than this, but only if we allow ourselves to see what the problem is, not play the blame game with payback ramifications. It is time to mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually mature into the Life of the Eternal Universal Life Force Spirit/Soul Energy which we truly are.

The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene) in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, Codex BG8502,1, begins with The Nature of Sin and the Good (7,10-8,11). Peter is asking Jesus postresurrection, “… What is the sin of the world?”
Jesus replied, “There is no such thing as sin, rather, you yourselves are what produce sin when you act in accordance with the nature of adultery, which is called ‘sin.’ For this reason, the Good came among you, pursuing the good that belongs to every nature. It will set within its root.”
Adultery is understood to mean sex, or union between species, such as angels and humans, not between humans and humans. Such unnatural unions are what makes them unholy, not meant to co-exist as the remnants of the fallen angels and Nephilim earthly bodies and eternal negative influences.
Before Jesus leaves on his journey to India postresurrection, which was not publicized for obvious reasons, he repeated what he said in Luke 17:20-21 in the following quote.
In The Gospel of Mary, The Savior’s Farewell (8,11-9,5) it reads: “Be on your guard so that no one deceives you by saying, ‘Look over here’ or ‘Look over there.’ For the Child of Humanity exists within you. Follow it. Those who search for it will find it.”
This means there will be no apocalypse, no rapture. Your Soul is your Seed, or Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. IT IS WITHIN YOU.
You will “set within your root.” What is your root, your ultimate cause for living the life that you live?
Many would like to tell you that what is written in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures is apocryphal. Please note this is the exact same thing he said in Luke’s Gospel mentioned above. It was hidden from you because it encouraged you to grow in spiritual maturity, not be under anyone’s religion thumb, no matter which religious thumb that is.
Postresurrection Jesus explains this to Peter and the apostles, then leaves them. Instead of them feeling joyful at seeing Jesus and speaking with him, the disciples are weeping out of control. They did not fully comprehend who Jesus was and what he was asking of them, but Mary Magdalene did.
It is Mary who comforts the other apostles and leads them into a discussion of the Savior’s teachings.
Why is Jesus the Savior?
Jesus Christ saved humanity from Darkness (undue influence of sinister thoughts, words, and actions deceptively appearing as the greater good), Ignorance, (lack of education of who and what each one of us is), Desire (of evil vices over virtuous lives), and Wrath (choosing to spur on growing hatred in all forms including murder and death addictions in modern television shows which further more acts of violence in our modern world boasting of guns and wars in every country).
Peter asks Mary to share with them any teachings that Jesus gave her which they might not have heard.
Mary agrees and tells them about the rise of the Soul past the powers of Darkness, including Ignorance, Desire, and Wrath, who seek to keep the Soul from ascending.
When she is finished, she stands in silence, imitating the Soul at rest.
The Gospel of Mary is just as powerful today for followers of every religion that claims to put faith in Jesus Christ. Notice the hot spots of the world, overflowing with Ignorance of exactly what Jesus taught during those 18 missing years from when he was age 12 to 30, as well as the overabundance of misguided Desire and Wrath, all signs of those who follow the powers of Darkness.
Which “God” do you follow?
Next in The Gospel of Mary, the peace of Mary is disturbed by Andrew challenging the “strangeness” of Mary’s teaching. Peter challenges the gender issue of whether the Savior would give private instruction to a woman, and by doing so showed that he preferred her to the other disciples.
Mary cries, dismayed that Pater accused her of lying about the Savior. But Levi comes to her rescue, pointing out that Peter has always been hot-headed, and now his divisive actions are putting him on the side of his adversaries.
We also see people who claim to be on the right side of doing what is right and noble, both in political and religious arenas, when they are showing that they prefer retaliation and warfare, which the side of Darkness, Ignorance, Desire, and Wrath promotes.
The introduction and translation of The Gospel of Mary in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures by Karen L. King contends that the core issue at stake concerns who has understood the teachings of the Savior and who is able to go forth and preach the gospel. King points out that it was Mary’s stability of character and advanced teaching that presents Mary as the teaching disciple.
Peter’s question shows he is stuck with the gender of Mary as opposed to the strength of her spiritual character.
What actually matters in your life is the state of your Soul, not the gender with which you identify.
Mary Magdalene’s example is the first in biblical history, following that of Jesus Christ, enlightening humanity that your gender is a non-issue in the eyes of the Good, which in this gospel stands for God. Christians need to transmute all prejudice if they claim to be authentically Christian, following the Almighty Father, God of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Mary also deals with the Savior’s teaching on the destruction of matter, saying that in the end all matter, including the body and the world, will dissolve back into their original state, it’s root as mentioned at the beginning of this post.
People are not born bullies. They are usually first bullied by others, ingraining them with the perversion to bully to get their own way, as a means of payback, strong arming others into doing their bidding, to avoid getting into trouble themselves, or to push their dark sinister plots. Their tell-tale mantra is, “Might is right.” Unless you stand up to a bully in your personal, professional, or public life, they will continue to bully. If no one has the integrity and moral fortitude to stand up for that which is right, a generation of cowards is born from inaction.
Silence is agreement.
This is the way of the lawless who bark out that they want law and order to prevail, but only for others, not themselves. The habit for this kind of thought process and renegade behavior traditionally begins at young and impressionable ages of children.
Children of all ages will try and/or undergo the most outrageous things as they attempt to learn to stand up for themselves.
This happens to the most innocent among us. Once when I was in first grade, I bit a friend. Oh my God, I actually bit a friend in the classroom. To this day I do not remember why I did that. My mother was called in and I had to go out and stand in the hall, the punishment of my day. My mother was called into the school to speak with the teacher then and there. I found this to be humiliating. I’m sure the friend who I bit was not impressed by my out-of-control reaction also. The point here is that I received an immediate and just-deserved punishment.
There was no waiting, the innocent friend who I bit did not also have to be punished in the hall, nor have her parent also called in. We both did not receive the same punishment. My mother did not sue the school, nor the teacher. I was the one who had wronged another. This was not the teacher’s fault, nor the school’s fault. It was my own fault. There was instant cause and effect, instant Karma.
Years later, as a mother, I called the elementary school teacher after school one day because in her classroom and under her watchful eye, some of her students were picking up one of my daughters, spinning her around against her will. She was the smallest one in the class and was humiliated by this. They all thought this was so funny. My daughter did not and was coming home crying day after day. I tried to empower her with my words, but when that failed, I called this teacher to say that my daughter was being bullied in her classroom, right under her nose.
To my surprise, the teacher told me that there was nothing she could do, that my daughter herself had to set her own boundaries. Notice the difference in teacher authority of the behavior that would be tolerated in the classroom of the first teacher as opposed to the second teacher. Obviously, my daughter’s “friends” were not listening to her when she told them her boundaries. The bullying continued until I called the parents of the girls.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all people being bullied could tell people to stop, and they would. This teacher allowed the bullying to continue. I made it stop. But without my intervention, this daughter’s self-esteem would have taken a major hit at an impressionable time in her life.
That is how it is with bullies. They continue until someone makes them stop. It is not right to punish the offender and the person who was already wronged, which would victimize them twice. That is cruel punishment in my book.
This is how we have home-grown bullies now at the helm of powerful positions, thinking they can do what they want, whenever they want, without penalty. This is also why we now have a generation of people who cower to bullies, most of whom get away with lying, cheating and worse depending on who they have connections with, or how much money they can pay off.
Recent extreme actions are taking place in full view of the public by those who think they can get away with anything because until now, they always have.
George Floyd died at the knee of police and by police agreement with the crime.
How do you counteract the undercurrent of systemic racism and bully mentality that is permeating the country and the world, such as the shocking thoughts of, “I don’t agree with your politics so I can break into your house, shoot you while you sleep, beat you up, or kneel on your neck for nine minutes until you die?”
Right after the death of George Floyd, I was in the local gym and overheard one guy tell another guy that people ought to keep their politics out of sports, since Colin Kaepernick had just taken a knee during the National Anthem at the previous football game, using his freedom of speech to quietly and honorably take a stand against racism. It was impossible for me not to tell my personal trainer within the earshot of these two men, that the next time I heard the National Anthem that I was going to take a knee. The two men became silent.
We see renegade Republicans thinking that they are above the law, twisting laws as if they were pretzels made just for them, stoking lies and conspiracies, because the bully traits never change. These bullies never learned to be fully human, only fully animals, blinded by greed, materialism, sexism, among other distracting things. All humans are part of the animal kingdom, but it is our humanity, complete with empathy and compassion that is the difference between a bully animal and a mature person with a fully developed character. Most recently these bullies did not agree with lawfully obtained search warrants and committed the crime of breaking and entering as if wrong is the same thing as right.
What are people to do when faced with evil, dark and sinister evil gone out of control?
PRAYER is the only answer for most of us not with legal, political, or financial means to do anything else.
Archangel Michael uses his fiery Christ-blue sword of lightening to transform the darkness of the world into Light, Love, and the Abundance of All Good Things. The world will be a better place in which to live if we all choose PRAYER, TRUTH, WISDOM, PEACEFUL POWER, INTEGRITY, and PERSONAL STRENGTH OF CHARACTER, not bully power.
The earth has lived through other ice ages, political corruption, and religious wars before. Once the fires of greed, materialism, consumerism, egoism, get billowed by the unabated windstorm of pride, the scales tip in the direction of the wind. Presently, we do have choices.
All is not lost, yet. We can peacefully, and legally stand up to the bullies of today by PRAYER, just as Archangel Michael did in the course of right. He stood up to the bully Souls of the Fallen Angels and their Nephilim Sons. He still stands up to these same bully dark Souls who never stopped influencing and, in some cases, inhabiting the weak minds of humanity, since these Souls could not return to heaven, remaining here to this day. We see their results. So, when those of us who are not in the positions of political, religious, nor financial authority to help in those ways, we can PRAY for the Divine Assistance of Archangel Michael and Divine Love and Light, which is the only known help against the darkness and evil in this world.
There is a reason for the darkness in the world. It is the exact reason why Herod called for the slaughter of all two-year old boys and under, why past human justice systems could impale criminals to die on the stake, and why wars have occurred in every land since the beginning of time.
There is a reason for the multiple holocausts and ethnic cleansings across this one Earth we all share. Among the first of many is the Canaanite Holocaust and the more widely known Jewish Holocaust. Then there is the equally insidious holocaust known as the pan-African Holocaust. The word “Maafa” is also known as the African Holocaust. It seems many people are unaware of other holocausts unless it happens to them.
There is a reason why murders occur in every city in the world, and why every sinister thought, word, and action crosses the mind of all human beings when things do not go our way, especially if money is to be made, or power is to be lost.
The human mind always wants to blame the other guy, as if you and I are not responsible for the bad things that happen to us, our families, our countries, and the Earth itself. Isn’t it easier to point the finger at someone else rather than own our own stuff, man-up, if you will excuse the term (but you know what I mean), and make more mature and sounder, life-giving decisions?
When did each of us let ourselves off the hook when it comes to honesty, integrity, and being magnanimous of spirit?
We are all culpable. If we were not, we would not lie, cheat and steal so easily. It is not such a big slide to go from lesser offence to greater and greater ones. We can just take a look at police logs in our areas or do a personal and honest examination of our own consciences. Notice there are offenses on both sides of the register. Each one of us is guilty from time to time.
WHY?
Jiminy Cricket tells our children in the Walt Disney movie Pinocchio, to let their conscious be their guide. Even at a young age youth struggle with right and wrong, good and bad, a conscious decision is to be made that involves free will. This means each one of us has a choice.
Where does this inkling to darkness come from?
Take a moment to consider John 8:44 in the English Standard Version. What if Jesus actually meant what he said? “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Jesus also says this in the Second Revelation of James (brother of Jesus), “I tell you, listen and understand. For many when they hear, will be fainthearted, but you, understand in the way I can tell you. Your father is not my Father, but my Father has become a father to you.”
The Father of Jesus loved each one of us so much that Jesus was sent to us to show us the way, the way of Light and Love. In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God won’t be ushered in with visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘It has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country.’ For the Kingdom of God is within you.”
This is mentioned in numerous times in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, as well as in today’s modern Bibles. There is no conflict with the Light of the Soul which is inside all human beings.
However, whatever grows within us is that which we focus on. This is where free will comes in. We can choose to go to war, or we can choose to focus on peaceful solution, greed or generosity, lack or abundance.
When enough people focus on war, greed, and lack, we get the reality of the seeds we have sown.
The good news is, we also have the Light of the Father of Jesus Christ within us when we awaken to our own Christed selves as Jesus taught us, that the Kingdom of God is within us. Let us never forget that.
Print out this map. Place a piece of Aragonite on Ukraine and Russia on the map you printed out. Aragonite is a reliable earth-healer and grounding stone. This stone transforms geopathic stress and clears blocked ley lines even at a distance and works via intention for emotional and physical healing. All energy healing works via human intention.
Aragonite crystallizes forming acicular (needle-shaped) crystals which are elongated along the c-axis, according to one of the best books on crystal energy I have ever read, Love Is In The Earth ~ A Kaleidoscope Of Crystals by Melody. This book, although now out of print, can still be found in used-books sections. While I do have other newer books on crystals, I continually revert back to the wisdom held within this one. The Crystal Bible, A Definite Guide To Crystals by Judy Hall is another gem which suggests placing Aragonite on the map of the area in the world having issues with Peace, Love, and Light Universal Energy.
ARAGONITE comes in brown, white, yellow, gold, green, and blue.Blue ARAGONITE with protrusions smoothed off by the tumbling process.
What can we do to help promote peace, love, wisdom, unity, and harmony in lands far away from us at this moment?
Remember, energy moves because you say so. That is how destruction of peace begins, from a concept in the mind. It is also how peace returns, by the intention in your mind. Darkness exists where there is a void of light. Be the light you wish to see in the world. Use tools of light, prayer, meditation, contemplation, and Universal Crystal Energy.
If crystal energy did not work, we would not be using it in our cell phones, car starters, and computer chips in technological and medical science. While I personally may not be able to articulate exactly how crystalline energy works in the above examples, I do know that they do work. Let it suffice to know crystal energy works, even if this concept seems new or foreign to you.
Universal Light and Universal Love solves problems. Since energy moves because you say so, print out the map of Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. Place Aragonite on this map and leave it there until peace returns there. It is the energy of your prayerful, meditative, and contemplative effort that sends energy out from the manifestation of the Aragonite crystal from where you are to the areas of the world that need it the most. Spend just five minutes, morning, noon, and night, calming and centering your attention on the focus of peace, love, wisdom, unity, and harmony for the people and the land of Ukraine and Russia.
Aragonite is especially helpful during times of stress and anger. Breathe in peace. Exhale distress and conflict that you have taken in by news reports and current events. This is not a denial of what is actually going on. As you take those precious five minutes, even if you are working away from home, to focus on that Aragonite on the map, it is the energy of your intention that can help to alleviate the conflict facing our brothers and sisters in the world. It has taken me more time to write this than it takes to send out your thoughts of peace, love, wisdom, unity, and harmony.
One of the qualities of Aragonite is that it can provide insight as to the foundation of the problems that confront this situation. We might think we know all there is to know, but we truly may not have all the information. Meditating with Aragonite confronts problems on the physical plane but can also stimulate communication on the higher planes.
If you don’t have the crystal Aragonite, write the word Aragonite on a small piece of paper, or copy and print the pictures of Aragonite in this post, and tape it to the map. It is thoughts, words, and actions you take that manifest the energy of peace, love, wisdom, unity, and harmony.
What can you do to help heal the situation in Ukraine and Russia?
We can welcome refugees and send money and aide. But if we are not in a position to do that, we can help right from our own homes, blooming with peace, love, wisdom, unity, and harmony right where we are planted by taking five minutes a day by our thoughts morning, noon, and night.
Crystal energy healing is an enormous benefit to the current world situation, as well as for yourself, since the Loving Light Universal Energy moves through you first, then out into the world.
THERE IS A POINT, WHEN YOU CANNOT WALK AWAY
WHEN YOU HAVE TO STAND UP STRAIGHT AND TALL
AND MEAN THE WORDS YOU SAY
THERE IS A POINT, YOU MUST DECIDE
JUST TO DO IT ‘CUZ IT’S RIGHT
THAT’S WHEN YOU BECOME A POINT OF LIGHT
THERE IS A DARKNESS, THAT EVERYONE MUST FACE
IT WANTS TO TAKE WHAT’S GOOD AND FAIR AND LAY IT ALL TO WASTE
AND THAT DARKNESS, COVERS EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
UNTIL IT MEETS A SINGLE POINT OF LIGHT
CHORUS:
ALL IT TAKES, IS A SINGLE POINT OF LIGHT
A RAY OF HOPE, IN THE DARKEST NIGHT
IF YOU SEE WHAT’S WRONG, AND YOU TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT
YOU WILL BE A POINT OF LIGHT
THERE ARE HEROS, WHOSE NAMES WE NEVER HEAR
A DEDICATED ARMY OF QUIET VOLUNTEERS
REACHING OUT TO FEED THE HUNGRY, REACHING OUT TO SAVE THE LAND
REACHING OUT TO HELP THEIR FELLOW MAN
THERE ARE DREAMERS WHO ARE MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
TAKING TIME TO TEACH THE CHILDREN, THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN’T DO
GIVING SHELTER TO THE HOMELESS, GIVING HOPE TO THOSE WHO DOUBT
THAT’S WHAT THIS LAND IS ALL ABOUT
ONE BY ONE … FROM THE MOUNTAINS FROM THE SEA
POINTS OF LIGHT ARE CALLING OUT TO YOU AND ME …
REPEAT CHORUS
Let us all be single points of light amid the darkness, until we flood the entire world with Light, Peace, Inspiration, Hope, Faith, Love, Joy with all our brothers and sisters across this one world we call home.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.”
– Nelson Mandela
1994 Inaugural Speech
When we choose to carry an imbalance of self-worth within us, we are making the active choice to go into fear, or stay in fear-based, erroneous thought. It is a choice, conscious or unconscious. We choose to think our thoughts. We are not a victim here, unless we choose to be.
The fact that our self-worth is a direct product of what we feed our mind with can be upsetting to some people who do not yet realize that they are in charge of their thoughts, moods, words and actions.
Our thoughts, moods, words and actions do not choose us. We choose them. It is our deciding to believe either what we tell ourselves, or others tell us that can sabotage us.
How do we remedy this?
One way to move past dysfunctional and self-sabotaging habits of the past that have stifled our growth mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, is to begin, or begin again to allow ourselves to think new thoughts.
If we do not like how we are feeling, we need to change how we are thinking. This concept helps with every facet of life, even physical illness. We may not be able to change the past and many other things in our life, but what we choose in our response, of what we to do next, which is the answer to peace, love and joy for the rest of our life.
Remember, it takes 21 days to change a deeply ingrained dysfunctional habit. During these first 21 days of deciding to think, say and do things differently, infusing hope, peace and forgiveness – especially of ourselves; start and re-start again. If we catch ourselves in the old habit, we need to remind ourselves to STOP, and start yet again.
The reason I say to infuse forgiveness – especially of ourselves, is that we can be the harshest of critics, holding grudges to ourselves, which never allows for healing. So, if we really want to grow in self-esteem, to realize that we are perfect as we are, we need to let go of what no longer serves us. Our thoughts, words and actions may have served us in the past. But now is time to wake up and move on. We need to liberate of ourselves from the misguided concepts of perfection.
We are perfect as we are created by the glory of God, which we can radiate, if we allow ourselves to do just that. It is what we choose with our free will once we become aware of the limitless possibilities and opportunities before us that shape our future.
Now is the time to manifest the glory of God in each one of us.
