Now is the Time to Break Free from Modern Day Political ~ Religious and Social Indoctrinations


https://LindaHourihanHHCP.com

The following talk applies to popular political, religious and social indoctrinations using similar mind control techniques to hook you into their one-way of thinking, just as a fisherman uses a spinner bait to catch an unsuspecting bass swimming by.

Human mind-control techniques are based on presenting lies as if they were truth and hiding actual truth as lies. If you swallow their “bait,” especially in masses of humanity, you might even feel pressure to go along with your family and friends just to be included.

The solution to this form of manipulation is to continue maturing and practicing human development and self-esteem so that you are strong enough to withstand condescending remarks and out-right insults against truth, honor, and even lies against yourself in order for the emotional blackmailers to save face.

I gave this 28-minute talk as an AI virtual talk in Porto, Portugal this past September 2025. I offer it as an AI talk to you here. When you go to my website, you will see the block on the front page where you can click on it. You too can heal.

“Healing Political, Religious, and Social Indoctrinations” Virtual AI Talk in Portugal

Hello and welcome to this talk, HEALING POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL INDOCTRINATIONS, written by me, Linda Hourihan, HHCP, and delivered by AI, produced by Book Publisher USA.com. The HHCP after my name stands for holistic health counselor practitioner.

It is vitally important to maintain integrity while AI is learning how to integrate itself into the modern world. Currently there is a lawsuit in court with AI, which is accused of stealing the book from an author and another from a publisher. In my opinion, we should keep in mind this transition into AI assisted platforms, copyright and trademarked books, art and works of all kinds must be acknowledged and compensated.

No mind has the ability to think freely until it is unbound from the restraints of cults, cults that come in many disguises.

Please listen to this talk, even if it goes against what you’ve learned so far in life.

I invite you to listen to this without an answer running in your head, without automatically thinking, “That’s not what I was told,” or “That’s not what I teach,” or “That’s not what I believe.”

When I was researching my Canadian French genealogy, I discovered that I had several of the Daughters of the King of France in my lineage.

Some of the women chose to marry Native Americans, settled along the St. Lawrence River, and later became known as the Metis, traveling along the Oregon Trail or south to New England and the eastern coast of the United States of America, or to New Orleans with their fleur-de-lis French trademark.

SONGS UPON THE RIVERS is a book about those who first blazed the famous path now known as the Oregon Trail.

It tells of the buried history of the French speaking Canadians and the Metis from the Great Lakes and the Mississippi across to the Pacific.

In elementary school we all learned about Merriweather Lewis, of the Lewis and Clark expedition exploring the trail westward to California. What was withheld was that he found it abhorrent that a white French woman would marry a Native American.

He did not write about the Metis making their way along the Oregon Trail before he did. As a result, not many people know the accurate history of the Metis forging the Oregon Trail before Lewis stamped his name on it.

History was handled so only one side of the story got told for reasons of personal power, fame, and fortune.

We need to be careful when searching for hidden histories in religion, politics, and social groups. There may be a tendency to come up with conspiracy theories or spin half-truths as if that is all there is.

Truth matters.

Later I made the decision to investigate my spiritual genealogy and the truth about Jesus the Christ wherever I could find it. Why? Because I could not explain the missing links in his lifeline.

My eternal question was, why was I only allowed to get a brief sanitized version of his life from birth to age 12, and then only 3 years from his ages 30 to 33?

Wouldn’t you want to know more than 3 years of the life of Jesus, even if you are not a Christian?

I’ll get back to this later.

In the popular romantic crime-solving television show, Castle, notice how characters, Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle and Stana Katic as Kate Beckett, first find their culprit, the possible criminal.

But upon further investigation, they discover that they have accused the wrong person. They do not keep prosecuting the first person who they thought committed the crime.

Why?

Because the wrong person would be tried, convicted, and punished.

It is vital to stay current with the truth of updated information, including your opinions of where the truth is, no matter how inconvenient that may be.

This talk will address 4 points. Remember to always have Courage, ask Questions, have Conviction, and continue your Quest.

Have courage to look deeper into your belief systems on any subject.

Notice that you are intimately, eternally, and universally connected to the very active life force, your “chi” that animates your very next breath. It is not outside of you, but WITHIN YOU.

There is more to your place on this planet than you may first realize. You are more than your job, your role in your family and with your friends. There is also more to discover than what has most likely been revealed to you. Allow yourself to know that there is more to know.

You actively seek to share your lives in your families, with your friends, in your workplaces, and out into the world while simultaneously retaining your personal power, your fame which is your reputation, and your fortune, the keys to your cash.

Have you ever observed how many people, organizations, employers, and opinion hubs such as politics, religions and certain social groups, seek to usurp your personal power, your fame, and your fortune?

How do you continue growing as a person at the same time so many establishments seek to lay claim to your personal power, your fame, and your fortune for their own?

The life force energy animating you is the Light of your Spirit. It brings life to your Soul through your thoughts and emotions. This is the Limitless Living Light of your personal Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Without it, you would not be alive, no matter what your belief system is.

This is what Luke 17:20-21 talks about when Jesus says this Light is WITHIN YOU.

All cults I have studied say they are not a cult.

Let’s look closer.

Having courage is the key. Here is a quote from my book now in its second printing, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM. The publisher put this quote on the back cover: “Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.” And yes, fear has many disguises.

Technically, fear is not a “thing.” Fear is what resides in the void, in the lack, in the worry, the ignorant forecast of gloom and doom, considering only the worst that can happen.

Fear is the prime motivating force some groups use to bend the free will of others to either conform, be punished, or be kicked out of the group.

I have witnessed several groups each telling me that they are not a cult while adhering to well-known Cult Markers.

Here are Fourteen Cult Markers to watch out for:

  1. The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and, whether he is alive or dead, regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as Law.

2. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or punished.

3. Mind-altering practices, such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines, are used in excess and suppress doubts about the group and its leader or leaders.

4. The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel. For example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth.

5. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader, and its members. For example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar, or the group and or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity.

6. The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality.

7. The leader is not accountable to any authorities, unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations.

8. The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group. For example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities.

9. The leadership induces feelings of shame and or guilt to influence and control members.

10. Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.

11. The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

12. The group is preoccupied with making money.

13. Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group related activities.

14. Members are encouraged or required to live and or socialize only with other group members.

Every person on the planet is born with free will since birth. Not one leader of any kind is in charge of your freedom in mind and body, and especially your Spirit.

You are in charge of you.

Your Spirit is a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. This is your I Am Presence animating your physical body.

Marquette University.edu taught the Gospel of Thomas, and in the 4th verse, Jesus said, “The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live.”

Why?

Because as limited as an infant is, it knows it exists and will do what it takes to cry to be taken care of.

Remember to question everything, what others have told you to believe, and what you have decided you want to believe.

Who told you that you may not read any of the hidden writings of ancient history, especially religious, political, and educational history?

Who is it who is limiting and pontificating what you may learn, read and know, including all knowledge all over the world?

Is anyone threatening your life or your Spirit, or your Soul?

I am not saying you need to think what I think, or what anyone else thinks.

It is vital that you allow yourself to think for yourself.

While you know this, how much of your Spirit do you allow others to get their hooks into, indoctrinating you so you believe what they tell you to believe, so you fit into their club or organization?

Notice if various forms of threats to you are the motivating force others use to get you to bend your will to their will. This may come in the form of threats to your immortal Spirit, Soul or being physically ostracized out of the group.

Censorship and hiding important information are the first tip offs that you might be in a cult. It’s easier than you might first think. I know. I have been there.

Have mercy on the gurus who think it is their job to “save” you. Have empathy and compassion for them because they are not aware that even they are indoctrinated because indoctrinated people indoctrinated them. They are simply trying to follow “the rules” and “get it right.”

Ask questions. Are you allowed to question your faith? Asking questions is a good place to start in any area of your life. Your heart is a safe place to reassess your goals, hopes, and dreams.

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is like trying to walk with your shoes on the wrong feet. When something needs to change, it just feels wrong.

Keep a journal. It is a good way to track how you feel. Your feelings are the true barometer telling you that you are on the right track for your life, or not.

When you deny your feelings and do not ask yourself questions that need to be asked, you get sick. At least I did.

I faced my fears and found my voice and wrote MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM to help others who might be indoctrinated without fully realizing what happened to them. It is time to reclaim your personal power, your fame, which is your good reputation, and your own fortune, the keys to your cash.

I was married at 16 years old on purpose to get out of a house I was afraid to live in with my adopted father. I was also very Catholic and, for decades, divorce was not an option, according to the rules of my faith at that time.

I offered up my conflicts as a total oblation of who and what I was, a dedicated wife and mother of 5 growing children from the ages of 10 to 22 at that time, until my doctor prescribed Zoloft for my increasing panic attacks.

When I finally questioned myself, I had to be truthful. I decided to treat the root of the problem, not only the symptoms of my life which were making me ill. I made the unpopular decision to get a divorce. That is when my life began to heal, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Ask yourself this question, are you in the right place at this moment in your life?

Are you in the right job?

Are you in the right relationship with the person you are with?

Are you safe?

Are you happy?

There are positive solutions to all these questions. Seek out a holistic health counselor or mental health professional in your area if you need to. You, too, can heal.

It takes conviction to break out from under the heavy thumbs of indoctrination and complacency. Listen to your inner voice when information goes against what you know to be true.

Have conviction.

There are opportunities for us to bring fairness into our professional work worlds, just like the US Women’s Soccer Team did. They stayed with their conviction to fix an unjust work situation for six years. It worked.

Notice the undercurrent of male domination in the time it has taken for the US Women’s Soccer Team in FIFA to stop being paid thirty-eight percent of men’s pay while producing a markedly more successful product than the men’s team.

In February 2022, the US Women’s National Soccer Team won their case after six years of federal complaints and three years of litigation after decades of domination of the women’s circuit.

Why did they have to go to court to achieve what is only fair?

Next let’s look at the Genographic Project, launched April 13, 2005. This was a joint venture between the National Geographic Society and IBM.

The goal was a genetic anthropological study, that aimed to map historical human migrations patterns by human beings all over the Earth by collecting and analyzing DNA samples.

The studies traced 300,000 genetic markers that followed humanity’s travels all over the Earth for a stunning 150,000 years.

The Genographic Project came to an unceremonial end, and the site was retired after 1,006,543 participants in more than 140 countries had joined the project.

Let’s take a closer look to see why education about the migration of human history had to stop.

In May 2006, the Genographic Project came to the attention of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which recommended that National Geographic and other sponsors suspend the project because the findings disagreed with their indoctrinations.

Amy Harmon wrote an article entitled, “DNA Gatherers Hit Snag: Tribes Don’t Trust Them “DNA Gatherers Hit Snag: Tribes Don’t Trust Them,” that appeared in THE NEW YORK TIMES on December 10, 2006.

The knowledge gleaned from the Genographic Project research caused concern that could clash with long-held beliefs of indigenous peoples and threaten their cultures.

Isn’t this how all cults operate?

Education is key to understanding all of humanity.

How is it that all Genographic DNA Ancestry Project knowledge of tracing human beings all over the world had to stop because one group of human beings did not believe that way?

I mean no disrespect. But who is it that decided to hide the truth of traceable human history because one group of humanity disagreed?

I honor and respect the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. I believe in their freedom to hold and practice their own beliefs.

I do not agree that I must only learn what agrees with their beliefs.

I ask, does all of humanity have to stop learning about the origin of human history because one group of humanity believes in something different?

This seems illogical to me.

So far, we have discussed you having courage; your right and duty to question your own beliefs; having your own conviction to live your life as you see fit; and now for the key, which is your quest to discover what has been hidden from you.

There are dear friends in our associations with our religious groups, our political affiliations, and even in our social settings.

Who wants to ruffle the feathers of our family, friends, co-workers, bosses, clients, and everyone else in our wider community of associations?

The question is, once you allow yourself to learn more than what you know now, do you stay with what is comfortable, or do you choose to continue growing as a person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually?

This quest is your thirst for more accurate knowledge. Reassessing what you believe spiritually may be a hot button for you personally. I will share with you one last thing I thought I would never say. And that is, the Father of Jesus may not be the father of humanity.

I grew up very Catholic. I loved my faith for 60 years and still follow the words of Jesus.

But now I read and study ALL the words of Jesus, not just his famous years from his ages 30 to 33, for a total of 3 years.

How would you like to only be known for your first 12 years of life, and then only consider some of what you said between your ages 30 to 33?

I attended morning Mass every morning as a child with my mother. When I was 13, the priest asked me to teach CCD to the students in grades 1-3, so I did.

As I grew older, I was looking for more opportunities within the Catholic Church to be more involved. I got my Master Catechist training through the Worcester Diocese in Massachusetts.

I went on a Cursillo Weekend. Cursillo is a Catholic retreat started in part by then Bishop Juan Hervas from Spain along with layman Eduardo Bonnin and Father Sebastian Gaya. I joined the Cursillo Leader’s School and gave the Study talk on future Women’s Cursillo Retreats.

I attended a Life In the Spirit Seminar. I could not get enough of God and attended the following meetings they had.

Still, I felt something was missing.

I joined Opus Dei, and became a Supernumerary. It is interesting to note that the founder of Opus Dei, then known as Father Josemaria Escriva, is now a Saint in the Catholic Church.

He was also friends in Spain with Bishop Juan Hervas, both of whom desired to light a spiritual fire under the sleeping congregations of pastoral sheep of the world.

It was suffocation. I had to leave. I had never seen so much censorship in all my life. I asked my female spiritual director why I had to offer up so much sacrifice.

“To make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Jesus Christ,” came the immediate answer.

As I said in my book IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, if being crucified on the cross was not enough sacrifice, which left vast chasms with not enough suffering to make up for the sins of humanity, then my washing a floor on my knees or skipping a meal could not possibly make up for what was supposedly missing in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, nor aide the starving children in the world.

That’s when I truly began my quest and allowed myself to read and study what else Jesus had to say.

Who is it really who would not want you to know what Jesus said?

I am truly a Christian, but now I read, study, and follow all the words that Jesus said, not only some of them.

In your quest I advise you to drop fear, obligation, and guilt, known as fog, and begin to recognize the manipulation of others. These are forms of emotional blackmail.

Be honest with yourself and notice when fog rolls in over your emotional Self, especially with this next important missing piece of information.

It is the very reason the Cathars were exterminated. History was being manipulated, as if by hiding information, belief systems could be altered for unholy purposes of usurping the personal power, fame, and fortune of the people.

Jesus said, “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.”

This comes from The Second Revelation of James under the heading, James Tells What Jesus Said Regarding Two Fathers.

The scripture refers to His Father with a capital “F” and humanity’s father with a lower case “f.” This is what having and using your conscience is all about.

The Father of Jesus is also known as Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Your Spirit and Soul are a Spark of this same Energy.

However, you are more than just your Spirit and Soul. Your physical biology comes from the lower case ‘f” father which Jesus taught to James.

This would be easy to discount if it weren’t for the same thing accounted for in the gospel of John 8:37-38 in today’s bibles where it says,

“I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” John 8:37-38

Since censorship hid these words, how would you ever know what was hidden from you under threats of excommunication if you did not research this for yourself?

These are some of the missing words of Jesus that were buried, because they disagreed with the religious teachings of His time.

Revelation of other hidden knowledge reveals that just like many other crucified people in his day, Jesus survived the crucifixion. The proof is documented in several books.

If you do not allow yourself to know this, you stay indoctrinated. Some people do not even allow themselves to hear or consider this information.

At the very least, you have a right to know and make up your own mind. You decide what you believe. You have the right to investigate this in books such as THE CHRIST OF INDIA, THE STORY OF ORIGINAL CHRISTIANITY by Abbot George Burke, and in another book entitled, JESUS IN INDIA by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.

Light of knowledge illuminates these words.

Knowledge is power.

By hiding the powerful words of Jesus, the spiritual shepherds since that time could usurp the personal power of their flocks, assume the individual fame and reputation of their congregations, and definitely obtain their fortunes, the keys to their cash.

You all have your personal faith journey. Again, I stress for you to listen to your own conscience. Your heart knows if something is missing.

It was amazing to me when I began to pay closer attention to who wanted me to abdicate my personal power, and wanted me to give up my fame, my reputation, and my fortune, the keys to my cash.

All indoctrinators of any kind want your personal power for themselves and will insist you bow down to their way of thinking, and will definitely want your monthly financial contributions, the keys to your cash.

A fair amount of emotional blackmail goes along with these indoctrinations.

All cults use fear, obligation, guilt, and manipulation, as emotional blackmail to be in their “club.”

In my opinion, the good news is truly what Jesus tried so hard to teach humanity and is the reason he was crucified.

It is so powerful that the powers in his day wanted to put an end to his teaching because it was so empowering to the people of his day. Today is a new day.

He said, in Luke 17:20-21, when the Pharisees asked when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said the Kingdom of God would not come with observation, but this Kingdom, which is the Limitless Living Light of the human Spirit/Soul, is WITHIN you and me.

You are a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy animating you.

All bibles today are going back to these words, because earlier they changed the words to say that the Kingdom of God is AMONG you. However, the footnote following that word AMONG, sends the reader to the bottom of the page which has the original word WITHIN written there.

This is what I teach. Learning this powerful lesson is life changing. You are more powerful than you realize.

The truth is not in some cult, or other numerous trains of thought, but within yourself, if you have the courage to question your convictions and set out on a quest to find your truth.

These are the words of Linda Hourihan, HHCP which are delivered to you by AI created for you today by Book Publisher USA.com. Thank you for your time.

“HEALING POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, AND SOCIAL INDOCTRINATIONS” Virtual AI Talk at the 21st Century Leadership, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, AI & Wellness Conference in Porto, Portugal September 27-28, 2025 by Linda Hourihan, HHCP


I am in the second to bottom row, second photo from the right.

Hello and welcome to this talk, HEALING POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL INDOCTRINATIONS, written by me, Linda Hourihan, HHCP, and delivered by AI, produced by Book Publisher USA.com. The HHCP after my name stands for holistic health counselor practitioner.

It is vitally important to maintain integrity while AI is learning how to integrate itself into the modern world. Currently there is a lawsuit in court with AI, which is accused of stealing the book from an author and another from a publisher. In my opinion, we should keep in mind this transition into AI assisted platforms, copyright and trademarked books, art and works of all kinds must be acknowledged and compensated.

No mind has the ability to think freely until it is unbound from the restraints of cults, cults that come in many disguises.

Have mercy on the gurus who think it is their job to “save” you. Have empathy and compassion for them because they are not aware that even they are indoctrinated because indoctrinated people indoctrinated them. They are simply trying to follow “the rules” and “get it right.”

Ask questions. Are you allowed to question your faith? Asking questions is a good place to start in any area of your life. Your heart is a safe place to reassess your goals, hopes, and dreams.

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is like trying to walk with your shoes on the wrong feet. When something needs to change, it just feels wrong.

Keep a journal. It is a good way to track how you feel. Your feelings are the true barometer telling you that you are on the right track for your life, or not.

When you deny your feelings and do not ask yourself questions that need to be asked, you get sick. At least I did.

I faced my fears and found my voice and wrote MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM to help others who might be indoctrinated without fully realizing what happened to them. It is time to reclaim your personal power, your fame, which is your good reputation, and your own fortune, the keys to your cash.

I was married at 16 years old on purpose to get out of a house I was afraid to live in with my adopted father. I was also very Catholic and, for decades, divorce was not an option, according to the rules of my faith at that time.

I offered up my conflicts as a total oblation of who and what I was, a dedicated wife and mother of 5 growing children from the ages of 10 to 22 at that time, until my doctor prescribed Zoloft for my increasing panic attacks.

When I finally questioned myself, I had to be truthful. I decided to treat the root of the problem, not only the symptoms of my life which were making me ill. I made the unpopular decision to get a divorce. That is when my life began to heal, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Ask yourself this question, are you in the right place at this moment in your life?

Are you in the right job?

Are you in the right relationship with the person you are with?

Are you safe?

Are you happy?

There are positive solutions to all these questions. Seek out a holistic health counselor or mental health professional in your area if you need to. You, too, can heal.

It takes conviction to break out from under the heavy thumbs of indoctrination and complacency. Listen to your inner voice when information goes against what you know to be true.

Have conviction.

There are opportunities for us to bring fairness into our professional work worlds, just like the US Women’s Soccer Team did. They stayed with their conviction to fix an unjust work situation for six years. It worked.

Notice the undercurrent of male domination in the time it has taken for the US Women’s Soccer Team in FIFA to stop being paid thirty-eight percent of men’s pay while producing a markedly more successful product than the men’s team.

In February 2022, the US Women’s National Soccer Team won their case after six years of federal complaints and three years of litigation after decades of domination of the women’s circuit.

Why did they have to go to court to achieve what is only fair?

Next let’s look at the Genographic Project, launched April 13, 2005. This was a joint venture between the National Geographic Society and IBM.

The goal was a genetic anthropological study, that aimed to map historical human migrations patterns by human beings all over the Earth by collecting and analyzing DNA samples.

The studies traced 300,000 genetic markers that followed humanity’s travels all over the Earth for a stunning 150,000 years.

The Genographic Project came to an unceremonial end and the site was retired after 1,006,543 participants in more than 140 countries had joined the project.

Let’s take a closer look to see why education about the migration of human history had to stop.

In May 2006, the Genographic Project came to the attention of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which recommended that National Geographic and other sponsors suspend the project because the findings disagreed with their indoctrinations.

Amy Harmon wrote an article entitled, “DNA Gatherers Hit Snag: Tribes Don’t Trust Them”, that appeared in THE NEW YORK TIMES on December 10, 2006.

The knowledge gleaned from the Genographic Project research caused concern that could clash with long-held beliefs of indigenous peoples and threaten their cultures.

Isn’t this how all cults operate?

Education is key to understanding all of humanity.

How is it that all Genographic DNA Ancestry Project knowledge of tracing human beings all over the world had to stop because one group of human beings did not believe that way?

I mean no disrespect. But who is it that decided to hide the truth of traceable human history because one group of humanity disagreed?

I honor and respect the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. I believe in their freedom to hold and practice their own beliefs.

I do not agree that I must only learn what agrees with their beliefs.

I ask, does all of humanity have to stop learning about the origin of human history because one group of humanity believes in something different?

This seems illogical to me.

So far, we have discussed you having courage; your right and duty to question your own beliefs; having your own conviction to live your life as you see fit; and now for the key, which is your quest to discover what has been hidden from you.

There are dear friends in our associations with our religious groups, our political affiliations, and even in our social settings.

Who wants to ruffle the feathers of our family, friends, co-workers, bosses, clients, and everyone else in our wider community of associations?

The question is, once you allow yourself to learn more than what you know now, do you stay with what is comfortable, or do you choose to continue growing as a person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually?

This quest is your thirst for more accurate knowledge. Reassessing what you believe spiritually may be a hot button for you personally. I will share with you one last thing I thought I would never say. And that is, the Father of Jesus may not be the father of humanity.

I grew up very Catholic. I loved my faith for 60 years and still follow the words of Jesus.

But now I read and study ALL the words of Jesus, not just his famous years from his ages 30 to 33, for a total of 3 years.

How would you like to only be known for your first 12 years of life, and then only consider some of what you said between your ages 30 to 33?

I attended morning Mass every morning as a child with my mother. When I was 13, the priest asked me to teach CCD to the students in grades 1-3, so I did.

As I grew older, I was looking for more opportunities within the Catholic Church to be more involved. I got my Master Catechist training through the Worcester Diocese in Massachusetts.

I went on a Cursillo Weekend. Cursillo is a Catholic retreat started in part by then Bishop Juan Hervas from Spain along with layman Eduardo Bonnin and Father Sebastian Gaya. I joined the Cursillo Leader’s School and gave the Study talk on future Women’s Cursillo Retreats.

I attended a Life In the Spirit Seminar. I could not get enough of God and attended the following meetings they had.

Still, I felt something was missing.

I joined Opus Dei, and became a Supernumerary. It is interesting to note that the founder of Opus Dei, then known as Father Josemaria Escriva, is now a Saint in the Catholic Church.

He was also friends in Spain with Bishop Juan Hervas, both of whom desired to light a spiritual fire under the sleeping congregations of pastoral sheep of the world.

It was suffocation. I had to leave. I had never seen so much censorship in all my life. I asked my female spiritual director why I had to offer up so much sacrifice.

“To make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Jesus Christ,” came the immediate answer.

As I said in my book IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, if being crucified on the cross was not enough sacrifice, which left vast chasms with not enough suffering to make up for the sins of humanity, then my washing a floor on my knees or skipping a meal could not possibly make up for what was supposedly missing in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, nor aide the starving children in the world.

That’s when I truly began my quest and allowed myself to read and study what else Jesus had to say.

Who is it really who would not want you to know what Jesus said?

I am truly a Christian, but now I read, study, and follow all the words that Jesus said, not only some of them.

In your quest I advise you to drop fear, obligation, and guilt, known as fog, and begin to recognize the manipulation of others. These are forms of emotional blackmail.

Be honest with yourself and notice when fog rolls in over your emotional Self, especially with this next important missing piece of information.

It is the very reason the Cathars were exterminated. History was being manipulated, as if by hiding information, belief systems could be altered for unholy purposes of usurping the personal power, fame, and fortune of the people.

Jesus said, “I tell you, listen and understand. For many when they hear, will be fainthearted, but you, understand in the way I can tell you. You father is not my Father, but my Father has become a father to you.”

This comes from The Second Revelation of James under the heading, James Tells What Jesus Said Regarding Two Fathers.

The scripture refers to His Father with a capital “F” and humanity’s father with a lower case “f.” This is what having and using your conscience is all about.

The Father of Jesus is also known as Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Your Spirit and Soul are a Spark of this same Energy.

However, you are more than just your Spirit and Soul. Your physical biology comes from the lower case ‘f” father which Jesus taught to James.

This would be easy to discount if it weren’t for the same thing accounted for in the gospel of John 8:37-38 in today’s bibles where it says,

“I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” John 8:37-38

Since censorship hid these words, how would you ever know what was hidden from you under threats of excommunication if you did not research this for yourself?

These are some of the missing words of Jesus that were buried, because they disagreed with the religious teachings of His time.

Revelation of other hidden knowledge reveals that just like many other crucified people in his day, Jesus survived the crucifixion. The proof is documented in several books.

If you do not allow yourself to know this, you stay indoctrinated. Some people do not even allow themselves to hear or consider this information.

At the very least, you have a right to know and make up your own mind. You decide what you believe. You have the right to investigate this in books such as THE CHRIST OF INDIA, THE STORY OF ORIGINAL CHRISTIANITY by Abbot George Burke, and in another book entitled, JESUS IN INDIA by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.

Light of knowledge illuminates these words.

Knowledge is power.

By hiding the powerful words of Jesus, the spiritual shepherds since that time could usurp the personal power of their flocks, assume the individual fame and reputation of their congregations, and definitely obtain their fortunes, the keys to their cash.

You all have your personal faith journey. Again, I stress for you to listen to your own conscience. Your heart knows if something is missing.

It was amazing to me when I began to pay closer attention to who wanted me to abdicate my personal power, and wanted me to give up my fame, my reputation, and my fortune, the keys to my cash.

All indoctrinators of any kind want your personal power for themselves and will insist you bow down to their way of thinking, and will definitely want your monthly financial contributions, the keys to your cash.

A fair amount of emotional blackmail goes along with these indoctrinations.

All cults use fear, obligation, guilt, and manipulation, as emotional blackmail to be in their “club.”

In my opinion, the good news is truly what Jesus tried so hard to teach humanity and is the reason he was crucified.

It is so powerful that the powers in his day wanted to put an end to his teaching because it was so empowering to the people of his day. Today is a new day.

He said, in Luke 17:20-21, when the Pharisees asked when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said the Kingdom of God would not come with observation, but this Kingdom, which is the Limitless Living Light of the human Spirit/Soul, is WITHIN you and me.

You are a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy animating you.

All bibles today are going back to these words, because earlier they changed the words to say that the Kingdom of God is AMONG you. However, the footnote following that word AMONG, sends the reader to the bottom of the page which has the original word WITHIN written there.

This is what I teach. Learning this powerful lesson is life changing. You are more powerful than realize.

The truth is not in some cult, or other numerous trains of thought, but within yourself, if you have the courage to question your convictions and set out on a quest to find your truth.

These are the words of Linda Hourihan, HHCP which are delivered to you by AI created for you today by Book Publisher USA.com.

Thank you for your time.

Now is a good time to set new goals, new beginnings, and a new adventure of your life regardless of how young or old you consider yourself to be. Let the present be a present for you. There is no time like the present.

Reclaiming your personal power is more than a present for you. It is the key to your life, especially if you consider yourself to be the victim of your life.

Yes, you do have a choice.

Sure, there are times when you may find yourself giving all that you are and have for the wellbeing of others. That is understandable for a short time, for your job with which those extra hours are an exception, not the norm or when your family needs you.

But when the drone of extra hard work for an extra extended amount of time, or when there is no end in sight, then you may have become the total oblation of what you were meant to be by finding yourself under an unholy mountain of fear, obligation, and guilt, FOG.

What can you do about this?

Make a conscious choice.

You can continue to be the victim of your life, assuming all the responsibility, which in reality is not all yours. There may be others in your life, which until now you may not have realized who it is who is literally pulling your strings, like the marionette on the puppet strings.

The puppet masters of your life connive, while simultaneously placing some or all of the blame on you and assuming no responsibility for their own thoughts, words, and actions. Often, it is the non-thoughts, words, and actions that are the fodder of failed relationships.

The problem is all your fault, in their egotistical eyes. All they can see is how hard THEY are working. Besides, isn’t all the rest of the work supposed to fall on your shoulders?

NO!

You are in a symbiotic relationship.

Problems that are not addressed ferment into a tsunami of reactive behaviors. No one person stands alone, holding all the blame of failed relationships. It is not as if either person simply shuts their mouth or does not react to the abuse of overburdened workloads, then no problems exist.

MY RED BAG OF COURAGE counsels you if you have found yourself at the mercy of anyone else’s control system. You may have found yourself in similar situations to mine.

I share how I reclaimed my personal power, integrity, and transformed my life’s mission into not only helping my family but helping the world.

I began studying what has been hidden from humanity. I researched both ancient and religious history and discovered a wealth of knowledge which I share in this book.

I hope you like it.

It is the second book of the 3-book series that won the 2024 International Impact Book Awards. The first book catching their attention is IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM which is being rereleased this month. The third book is NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, subtitled, LIGHT WITHIN THE ANGEL, MINERAL, PLANT, AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS.

I am being considered for the 2025 International Impact AUTHOR OF THE YEAR for my last book, TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIOUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY.

I also share how to step into your personal power in my Stress Management and February 2010 Celestial Retreat meditations have been reproduced in a new Healing Audio Meditations Album which totals 3 hours and 32 minutes. You can take yourself on a personal guided retreat anywhere you choose by listening to these meditations.

These are timeless meditations designed to assist you. STRESS MANAGEMENT was created following my graduation from the American Institute of Holistic Health and Wellness which is accredited and certified by The National Accreditation and Certification Board.

Audio Meditations 2-6 were professionally recorded at the 3-day Celestial Retreat which I lead in 2010 at The Guest House, a retreat house in Connecticut. It was attended by many people who participated in the exercises to activate the lymphatic systems in active movement sessions, and Yoga sessions, meditations including The Secret, and audios by the late “Abraham” Hicks, Jerry and Ester Hicks.

While HEALING AUDIO MEDITATIONS ALBUM included all 6 meditations, they are also individually available for you, including: 1) STRESS MANAGEMENT, 2) AWAKENING THE MIND, 3) RECLAIMING YOUR POWER, 4) CHAKRA & AURA BALANCING, 5) THE LOST YEARS OF JESUS, and 6) ASCENSION OM MEDITATION written by Joshua David Stone, Ph.D.

I am a virtual speaker at the 21st Century Leadership, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, AI, & Wellness Conference in Porto, Portugal on September 26-27,2025, using an AI to deliver my talk. It will be in the same AI voice that delivered my book, MY RED BAG OF COURAGE. I have had people tell me that they thought the AI voice was mine.

This conference is being held in association with the Universal Journal of 21st Century Women’s Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Technology & Publishing (UJWEL). Their conference themes are: Join The Movement, Inspire Change, and Inspire The World.

It is vitally important to maintain integrity while AI is learning how to integrate itself into the modern world. Currently there is a lawsuit in court with AI, which is accused of stealing the book from an author and another from a publisher. In my opinion, we should keep in mind this transition into AI assisted platforms, copyright and trademarked books, art and works of all kinds must be acknowledged and compensated.

There are still some speaking opportunities at the 21st Century Leadership, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, AI, & Wellness Conference in Porto, Portugal on September 26-27,2025. If you are interested, please contact: welconference@etextonline.org.

Wishing you the best of all good things.

Audio Book of Hope ~ Healing ~ Reclaiming Your Inner Light Amid Life’s Darkest Emotional Storms


MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM, is now live as an audio book! It is available on Audiobooks, Libro, and Kobo. Click on any of these links to listen to a clip of it.

AUDIOBOOK SUMMARY:

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. My Red Bag of Courage: Survival Wisdom is a profound and empowering memoir that invites listeners to walk beside the author on a journey through trauma, spiritual awakening, emotional transformation, and personal victory. This deeply human narrative, written by Linda Hourihan, is a story of hope, healing, and reclaiming one’s inner light amid life’s darkest storms.

From childhood confusion and buried trauma to spiritual rebirth and the rediscovery of sacred wisdom, this audiobook delivers a powerful account of how personal pain can be transformed into spiritual purpose. At its core, this is the story of a woman who survived what many could not and chose not only to endure but to rise and thrive with grace, integrity, and courage. Linda speaks from her heart, sharing vulnerable memories and soul level truths that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to find meaning through hardship.

Linda’s journey begins in childhood, where early emotional wounds and societal pressures created a sense of disconnection and inner turmoil. She shares her experience growing up in a Catholic environment, where divorce was taboo, and expectations often conflicted with emotional wellbeing. This pressure shaped much of her early understanding of herself and the world. As a sensitive soul, Linda internalized pain and criticism while striving to live up to the unrealistic expectations placed upon her. Her red bag of courage becomes both metaphor and reality, symbolizing the tools, journals, books, and spiritual insights she carries to support herself along her healing journey.

When Evil Has Come of Age


According to Enoch, “Evil walked the earth when angels fell. Evil stalks us now in disembodied spirits; immortal wraiths once clothed in flesh when angels and women bred; spirits released from their fleshly prisons when their bodies were destroyed for drinking the blood of men.

“Evil also lives inside of the common man; set free when pride kills reason and eats integrity whole.

“There is evil that entraps us and evil that tugs from within. But neither have control until we choose to relent. Evil is a choice of action, of thoughts entertained too long, of arrogance pushing aside the last vestiges of compassion. When angels or men think of themselves first, this is evil being born afresh. When outcome is not considered, empathy abandoned, or compassion dismissed, evil has come of age.”

The above is from THE OMEGA from The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim, page 335 in THE BOOKS OF ENOCH, THE ANGELS, THE WATCHERS AND THE NEPHILIM (With Extensive Commentary on the Three Books of Enoch, the Fallen Angels, the Calendar of Enoch, and Daniel’s Prophecy).

This book, comprised by Dr. Joseph B. Lumpkin, is a volume containing:

The First Book of Enoch (The Ethiopic Book of Enoch)

The Second Book of Enoch (The Slavonic Book of Enoch)

The Book of Fallen Angels, The Watchers, and The Origins of Evil: With Expanded Commentary on Enoch, Angels, Prophceies and Calendars in the Sacred Texts

Why is humanity not more familiar with this information today?

This information was removed from the canonical gospels at the Council of Laodicea. It is not because it is not Sacred Scripture, because it is. It also backs up Daniel’s prophecies, as well as having references in today’s bibles.

Jesus quoted from the Books of Enoch over 100 times.

My New Website Features 6 Books To Inspire You ~ https://lindahourihanhhcp.com


Thank you for making this blog, with 127,056 views, and my new website, https://lindahourihanHHCP, such a success. It is read on the 203 countries, territories and protectorates all over the world. I have spent my life with the goal of making everyone on planet Earth healthier and happier using holistic health methods whenever possible.

My book, MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM, is a deeply personal and transformative narrative exploring themes of survival, resilience, and self-discovery. These discoveries are also an immediate help and relief to you personally as well. I wish I knew them earlier in my life.

Inspired by true events, this book blends important discoveries of life wisdom and awakening in mind, body, and spirit. We human beings can get so myopic in our understanding and diverted in our goals that we can feel adrift in the sea of humanity, and our personal goals and desires.

Humanity has long awaited this book which uncovers what has been hidden from you. There is a real and tangible way for you to reclaim your personal power, your reputation and integrity, and your keys to your cash.

You cannot blame yourself for your life situations you did not have fair warning about until now, but once you harness your hopes and dreams for a better life, you will see firsthand how, step-by-step, you can get back in charge of what is important to you. When you do this, you stop being a puppet in the lives of others.

Each chapter in MY RED BAG OF COURAGE offers insights into personal empowerment, metaphysical understanding, and overcoming trauma. This is a really big deal. Life is not always easy, as you already know.

This book uses real-life examples emphasizing the importance of harnessing your inner strength and connecting with universal energy to navigate your life’s challenges.

I wrote this book with raw honesty and compassion, to which many of you who know me can attest. My goal in writing this book aims to inspire you to embrace courage, face adversity, and discover the boundless potential within yourself.

“Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.” Quote inside and on the back cover of the first book in this trilogy, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, which won the 2024 INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARD in the Social Change category.

In Their Image and Likeness: Hourihan, Linda: 9781961548015: Amazon.com: Books

“Get ready to take a deep dive. Metaphysician Lin Hourihan offers a multifaceted perspective on who we are at the core of our being. Challenging preconceptions and lending insight on how to maximize our experience here on planet Earth.” This is the quote from Reverend Medium Tracey Lockwood on the back cover.

“She offers advice on how to know if you are in a cult (hint: many people are) and how to live a full, balanced life.

“You can choose to have experiences of Light, joy, and abundance, or you can choose to have experiences of lack, limitation, and depravity.

“With an impressive background in religious studies, Linda offers encouragement and guidance to the seekers who know there is more and choose to bring light into their lives. Told with wisdom, humility and love, this book is a timeless guide to living in the Light with God, free of the manmade shackles of corruption.

“It’s all about love, choosing to love over all the other dark and sinister energies in the smorgasbord of life. Everyone has free will to choose love or not love every single minute of every single day.” On the back cover of the book

Author Lin Hourihan invites readers on a journey of self-discovery through meditations, guided practices, and esoteric teachings that integrate crystals, plants, and animals. With insights into metaphysical principles and vibrational therapies, the book aims to illuminate paths to healing, spiritual growth, and connection to Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Inspired by ancient wisdom and modern insights, it empowers individuals to harness nature’s energies and align their lives with universal love and light.”

These are prayerful and meditative tools you can use in your own time and in your own space. The common thread weaving through all 3 of these books, demonstrates the practical way to move forward in your life. Know that you can feel better and have more joy, Love, and Light of inspiration by changing your focus. Whatever you focus on grows. You can decide to make your life more beautiful than ever before.

MYSTERY OF THE STURBRIDGE KEYS, subtitled, CHRISTMAS UNLOCKED, is a time travel book taking place at Old Sturbridge Village near where I live.

Mystery of the Sturbridge Keys: Hourihan, Linda: 9781532007613: Amazon.com: Books

The first book I wrote in 1999 because parents asked me to write it to teach virtues to their children. Its second printing was in January 31, 2020. While it was written for 6th grade CCD students in Catholic Christian Doctrine classes worldwide, it is easy for parents to teach and bond with their children

This is also a 7-lesson book that parents can use in their own homes. It is designed in 7 one-hour classes, or however parents wish to teach their children. It is geared for children in grades 4 through 6.

“From the instructor of the parish CCD program looking for a virtue-based morality curriculum to the parent looking to teach or reinforce these concepts to children in the home, Linda Hourihan’s The Virtue of Virtues is the answer. The structure of this collection of sixth-grade lessons offers CCD teachers the flexibility of teaching one lesson each month during the CCD year or fitting the instruction into a seven-week block from October to December at the start of the CCD instructional year.

“Parents can also use this organized approach to teach vitues to their children in the comfort of their own homes without disrupting their own schedules and styles: one hour each night for a week, one lesson a week for a month, or one lesson a month for seven months.

“Hourihan uses insightful and thought-provoking reporter questions for children to search for and discover truth and morality in each lesson, while they learn how to apply the virtues to their daily lives. Hourihan stresses virtues are based on ethics and values “that move past the popular opinion of the day to a solid foundation of unchangeable virtues given to us by God, exemplified by Jesus, and bolstered by the Holy Spirit.

“Parents asked Hourihan – a religious educator for 23 years and a reporter for 20 years – to write a book about teaching the Catholic faith and virtues to their children. She obviously took the challenge quite seriously, as demonstrated by her positive, informative, and entertaining THE VIRTUE OF VIRTUES.” written on the back cover.

My biography on the back of THE VIRTUE OF VIRTUES says, “Linda Hourihan holds a Master Catechist certificate in the Catholic Church having studied with priests in the Worcester, Massachusetts Diocese. She also served as co-chairman with the school principal as part of the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 and is also the author of THE MYSTERY OF THE STURBRIDGE KEYS and https://www.lindahourihan.wordpress.com which is read in all 203 countries. territories and protectorates worldwide with over 97,745 views.” written on the back cover.

Thank you again for taking the time to read my blog, now with 127,056 views worldwide. Humanity is more alike than any difference we like to highlight.

Money is NOT the Bottom Line ~ You Don’t Sell Your Soul or Your Country Because You Made Money Doing So


This is a worldwide blog with my love and desire for all humanity to achieve the most success possible for everyone, no matter where on this one Earth we all share you call home. This is only possible when ethics, integrity, truth and honesty are valued as much as the individual person.

It is the goal for every country in the world, including the United States of America, to govern themselves with security and dignity without sinister plans from any other country planning to misuse their private information against them.

I do not stand behind sinister motives to spy on you, lie to you, abuse your online presence, sabotage your greater good, while you make money, even if it is more than you have ever made in your entire life previously, regardless of what country on Earth we all share that you call home.

You guessed it. I am talking about TikTok. I have friends and family absolutely loving TikTok because it is serving them well, they think, because they are making money. But there is more to consider here than selling your Soul, your Spirit, your personal integrity and your country to the highest bidder, in this case, China.

Some people love the money they are making so much that it appears to be blinding them to the future security of our homeland and your personal integrity. They too quickly dismiss what could happen to them and their country if private information is used to harm, not help them. It appears on the surface that they think they do not care about how they might be helping to sell their country down the river.

Yes, we have a global economy. We have friends and family all over the world, perhaps even in China. But that does not give China, Russia or any other country in the world the right to invade your privacy nor the privacy of the United States of America simply because you might be making more money than you ever have in your entire life.

What kind of world do you wish to live in?

It is a hard lesson to learn, especially if you have grown up with not enough money, food, shelter, or clothing in your life. Selling your Soul, Spirit and Integrity might be blinding you.

Take a deep breath.

Stop listening to those who only see money as the ultimate measure and value to every scenario. Take a second look and ask yourself these questions:

Do I want to support other countries so they can spy or misuse information to ultimately harm my country?

Do I want to support other countries so they can spy or misuse information to ultimately harm my personal integrity?

Do I want to support other countries so they can spy or misuse information to ultimately harm my neighbor?

Do I want to support other countries so they can spy or misuse information to ultimately harm the world at large?

These are only a few of the deeper concerns to consider if you have only placed your opinion and value on who or what makes the most money as being the only way to make any decision.

I Am No Longer Continuing To Post to X Because Integrity, Truth, and Honor Matter


It is time to PEACEFULLY, stand up for integrity, truth, and honor, because you matter. You may like to stand in the shadows or not make your voice heard, but now is the time for courage in the face of fear.

To quote from the back cover of my book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, “Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.”

Silence is agreement.

Since whatever we focus on grows, if you focus on the dysfunctions you see all around you, that will monopolize your mind. It is a self-sabotage trap. Instead, focus on integrity, truth, and honor as you think, speak, and act in ways that will help, not hurt humanity. This will build up humanity.

Correct lies when you hear them, not with slogans from TV stations that may lie to you. It is possible to find out the truth when you go to all news stations, not just one. Also, your friends may not understand that they have been lied to just as you may have been. Love them, but do not follow the wolf in sheep’s clothing right off the proverbial cliff. Truth may be inconvenient when you find out others have lied to you, but it is still possible to get to the truth.

It is possible to heal this hurting nation. The medicine for the current malady facing the world today is integrity, truth, and honor, all without self-serving spin placing blame on “the other side.” That is a dead giveaway that you might be involved in a cult.

Pay attention to the cult-like indoctrination of political rhetoric, especially if it pits one brand of ideology against another, as mentioned in yesterday’s post, “Today’s Christian Right Are Sheep In Wolves Clothing.”

Reclaim your personal power, the right to have and express your own personal opinion even if it goes against others in your circle of life. You can do this with dignity and grace.

“You can choose to have experiences of Light, joy, and abundance, or you can choose to have experiences of lack, limitation, and depravity.” quote from the back cover of IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS.

This is the book that just won the INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARDS in the category of SOCIAL CHANGE.

I will not align myself with groups and organizations that I once did because they have turned to “the dark side,” which I do not agree with. If you find yourself in a similar situation, stand up PEACEFULLY by using your freedom and free will to not align yourself with those who will hurt you, your family, your neighborhood, your town/city, state, country or the entire world.

For example, do you agree to cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security which you have paid into all of your working life just to benefit the top billionaire wealth earners, or that veterans benefits for disabled veterans who have served this country honorably should have their benefit cut to go into the top wealth hoarders’ pocketbooks in this country?

PEACEFULLY standing up with your thoughts, words, and actions may seem like a small step, but it is not. You matter. Your voice matters. Your actions matter. The changes that you may need to address will pop up in front of you, knocking on your conscience until you recognize that some alignments you may have had in the past no longer serve your highest good. That is what I am doing now.

Following in the footsteps of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), of which I am a supporting member, I will be no longer posting in X (formerly known as Twitter).

I joined Twitter, now known as X, in February 2012. Later I joined SPLC to amplify my and SPLC’s mission: fighting hate, seeking justice and promoting equity. For over a decade, Twitter served as a tool to share our work, values and vision with the world.

However, recent changes at X have ushered in a troubling rise in hate and disinformation, along with a decline in the enforcement of moderation policies. These shifts have resulted in a platform that is no longer conducive to a productive dialogue, and the racism, antisemitism, misogyny and anti-immigrant hate openly dispersed on X disproportionately harms the very communities I and SPLC are dedicated to protecting.

After careful reflection, I, as have SPLC, have made the decision to discontinue active posting and engagement on this platform since it no longer aligns with our core values. While our individual accounts will remain live to preserve access to past content, I am redirecting my energy to platforms that promote meaningful dialogue and prioritize the well-being of marginalized communities.

I encourage you to stay connected with me at: www.lindahourihan.wordpress.com

Christmas Present Idea ~ How to be Free of Manmade Shackles of Corruption


Celebrating the birthday of my book publication with Blue Fortune Enterprises LLC, which is a publishing house, not a self-publishing company. This book has already helped so many people. This book would make for a thoughtful Christmas present.

This is on the back cover:

“Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.

“She offers advice on how to know if you are in a cult (hint: many people are) and to live a full, balanced life.

“You can choose to have experiences of Light, joy and abundance, or you can choose to have experiences of lack, limitation, and depravity.

“With an impressive background in religious studies, Linda offers encouragement and guidance to seekers who know there is more to choose to bring light into their lives. Told with wisdom, humility, and love, this book is a timeless guide to living in the Light with God, free of manmade shackles of corruption.

“It is all about love, choosing love over all other dark and sinister energies in the smorgasbord of life. Everyone has free will to choose love or not love every single minute of every single day.”

The quote on the back cover is from a dear friend Reverend Medium Tracey Lockwood:

“Get ready to take a deep dive. Metaphysician Lin Hourihan offers a multifaceted perspective of who we are at the core of our being. Challenging preconceptions and lending insight on how to maximize our experience here on planet earth.”

Linda Hourihan is an international holistic health counselor/practitioner, former feature writer for the Milford Daily News, and Laconia Daily Sun, former owner of The Massage Clinic, and author of The Virtue of Virtues, Mystery of the Sturbridge Keys. She and her husband live in Massachusetts.

BULLYING


Bullying is dehumanizing, both for the person who bullies, and for the person being bullied. Unfortunately, there is no age limit for bullying. It happens by and to students. It happens by and to prejudiced groups of all ages, genders, and social economics. It happens all too often in today’s work force by employers, when perspective employees are told that they need to be “on call” 24/7 to the demands of the boss. Bullying also happens face to face, while cyberbullying relentlessly continues online. What can we do to stop it?

Stand up to the bully.

This does not mean turning everything into a fist fight. First, be smart. If you are the student being bullied, no matter what the bully is telling you, tell your teachers, your guidance counselors, your principal, and your parents. Know that you are not alone. It is state law that teachers must report the bullying to their superiors. Schools are improving their programs to address this kind of attack on students. If it keeps happening, keep telling. Never give up. There are some things you can do for yourself, beginning with bolstering your self-esteem.

Just because someone says something derogatory about you, does not make it so. You are made in the image and likeness of God. God does not make junk. God made you and you are perfect, just the way you are. You will not be perfect if…, or when … you are perfect now.

You are a whole person no matter what sexual orientation you are, no matter what gender you are, no matter if you are underweight, no matter if you are overweight, no matter what, you are perfect the way you are, right this very moment.

That is the second thing to know. Do not agree with every negative thought, word or idea that comes from a bully’s mouth. Just because someone says something negative does not make it so. Understand that there are people willing to help you.

I’d like to think that prejudices are a thing of the past, but they are not. We’d like to think we are so advanced these days, but sometimes I think on many issues we are still in the caveman era. There are many kinds of prejudices that play into the hand of bullying.

The person bullying decreases in character development by bullying. Seemingly good people, even Christian people, with not so good intent, harm others psychologically by badgering them, instilling them with fear if they are not like minded people, whether it’s for gay rights, birth control, immigration, or any other difference in belief.

Bullying makes people less human. Bullying makes people less spiritual. No matter what our religious belief system is, bullying is not the way to get the message out. Attacking someone’s character either privately or publically is not a spiritual practice. Can you see Jesus or Buddha now, diminishing a person by personal attacks? That would be a twisted and perverted belief system.

Lady Gaga went on twitter to say “Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime.”

Bullies are the puppet masters and the control freaks who like to play “jokes” on others for their own amusements. I taught my children at an early age how to tell the difference between having fun and laughing and “jokes” that are not funny. I told them that if only one person is having fun, that is teasing and if it is relentless, that is bullying.

Young people are not alone on the bullying front. Adults are also bullies and are victims of bullies. As sad as it is when young people get bullied, it is pathetic when adults get into the bullying game, and we do. It is pathetic because we should know better. Anytime we act out in ways that are beneath human dignity, we diminish our growth, mentally and spiritually.

The first thing adults need to do is the same first thing to do for a young person. Tell someone. If it is a prejudice hate crime, tell a police officer. If you are being bullied at work, go to your human resources department. That is what they are there for.

You have a right not to be bullied.

Bullies don’t really want to fight. They want to torment. They want to get their way. They have ulterior motives. Pure motives have nothing to do with bullying. Bullies are weak. They are vunerable. As more and more people, young and old, stand up and refuse to be tongue whipped by inferior, manipulating mortals, it will become easier to stand up for truth.

Standing up for truth, honor, and integrity does not have to be done viciously. Anger and hostility do not need to be present. We simply need to say what we need to say. Bullies know how to push emotional buttons. That’s part of the game. But if we can stay level emotionally, that will be one less battle they will have won.

” … and to reassess their motives to be better role models for themselves, the youth, and humanity worldwide. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear. Cults use fear as their fuel, keeping their flocks in submission. It is important to stand up for yourself. In political, social, and religious fear’s face, take on the courage of a fearless lion.

“Technically, fear is not a “thing.” Fear is what resides in the void, in the lack, in the worry, the ignorant forecast of gloom and doom, considering only the worst that can happen. No wonder there is fear taking up space where the presence of courage and knowledge ought to be in just about every religious belief system in the world. Even people without any belief system choose to fill themselves with fear, not realizing that having courage in such moments is the way to move forward.

“Fear is also being stoked within the political scene these days, as in the cult mentality fueling racism, xenophobia, prejudice, ultra-nationalism, and violence to be used as methods of intimidation as communication tools. Manipulation by money buys the conscience of lobbyists and politicians as if money and fear of the lack of it is the bottom line. Money and fear are not the bottom line. Ignorance of truth is the fodder of human sheep following greedy leaders who say and do anything to remain in power, fame, and fortune.

“One of the most recent fear-based political power-plays born out obstruction and greed, is demonstrated and written about in the 2012 book, Do Not Ask What Good They Do by Robert Draper,[1] outlining a plan to not work together politically for the common good of Americans, thereby marrying the power-hungry Tea Party and the Republican Party agendas.

“This spawned the current mission of those claiming to be the political party of law and order, while paradoxically and simultaneously giving voice to the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi, white nationalists, racist skinheads, Neo-Confederate, Black separatists, general hate groups,[2] and Christian identity, who are usually prejudiced against various God-given genders and who only see Pro-Life as anti-abortion while voting for candidates who seek to take away food, and financial assistance programs for the homeless, as well as for veterans. The Southern Poverty Law Center Intelligence Project keeps track of these groups attempting to hijack the Republican Party, currently a political cult to my understanding of a cult.”

The Truth About the Life of Mary Magdalene and Jesus ~ Your True Nature


Pinterest Picture of Master Jesus and Mary Magdalene

The diseases of the Soul are born from ignorance and false belief, the
foundation of popular indoctrinations in most all religions of our time.
Everyone has free will to remain in Soul-sapping beliefs, or to begin the
Soul-healing process of discovering what both Jesus and Mary Magdalene taught.

Remember, it was only in the year 591 CE that Pope Gergory I erroneously
suggested that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. (1) This slander against the most beloved of Jesus has been preached by religious leaders since that time.

During the Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church emphasized Mary
Magdalene as a symbol of penance. This is an interesting twist, since Mary
Magdalene was never a prostitute, other than in the mind of this misguided pope who wished to rob all women of their rightful place, equal to men.

All people, regardless of gender, race, color, creed or any other difference
noticed within humanity, are equal to each other. No one person is of any more
value than anyone else in the bigger scheme of life. We all live, and we all die when our God-given Soul, our Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy
reunites with Itself.

In 1969, Pope Paul VI removed the identification of Mary Magdalene with Mary of Bethany and the “sinful woman” from the General Roman Calendar, but the view of her as a former prostitute has persisted in popular indoctrinated culture and in many other religious belief systems.

This reevaluation of Mary Magdalene as the partner of Jesus has led to a
more accurate understanding of her role: she was a strong, independent woman
who supported Jesus both financially and spiritually.

The New Testament erroneously describes how Jesus cast demons out of her,
and she accompanied him during his ministry around Galilee. She also witnessed his crucifixion, burial, and resurrection in Jerusalem. Pope Francis further rehabilitated her image by declaring a major feast day in her honor on June 22, placing her on par with the liturgical celebrations of the male apostles.

The Gospel of Mary uses the term, “The Good,” when referring to Eternal Universal Life Force Energy, who most people call God. She points out that Jesus taught, “There is no such thing as sin.”

“One of the more astonishing teachings in the Gospel of Mary lies in the Savior’s statement, ‘There is no such thing as sin.’ His point is theological: God is the author of everything that exists, and God is completely good: hence sin cannot really exist. Rather, he talks about the alienation from God as ‘adultery,’ implying the improper attachment to the body. Human beings ‘make sin,’ the Savior says, when they turn away from God and are overcome by ignorance and erroneous passions.” taken from The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, The Revised and Updated Translation of Sacred Gnostic Texts, edited by Marvin Meyer, page 738

Here we come face-to-face with “The Good” and “The Lack of the Good” in the
world today in numerous life and death decisions all over the world, in every country, state, city, town, in every family, and within yourself. “The Lack of The Good,” otherwise known as evil, is not a thing. It is the personification of the Lack of What Could Be, “The Good.”

When enough “good” people do nothing, or the lack of good, evil fills the
void. All war and strife in the world are a direct result of the lack of “The
Good.”

The remedy for healing indoctrination, which is nothing more than evil filling in where “The Good” ought to be, which is Truth, Honor, and Integrity, is to tell the truth about the lives of Mary Magdalene and Jesus, their children Sarah, Jesus, Joseph and others who lived in the south of France, and the continued life of Jesus as he returned to India, through Tibet, and sometimes traveling along the Silk Road, ending with his life in Kashmir with his family. There is more than you have been told.

Jesus admonished us all to “keep seeking until you find” the truth that has been hidden away from you, initially for unholy purposes. Indoctrination is so strong among humanity that it often takes nearly an entire lifetime to break free and allow yourself to hear and know other things than you have been indoctrinated into believing.

To become fully human, the rise of your Soul must understand its rightful
place within you, which is not to be placed under anyone else, nor any religion
that oppresses your God-given Soul, which is an aspect, a Spark of Itself.

Don’t forget, Jesus taught in Luke 17:20-21, “The kingdom of God, that Light of God, is WITHIN YOU.” You are a Spark of the Limitless Living Light of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy (God), which has no gender, age, or race. 

All current bibles including the Holman Study Bible King James Version are changing Luke 17:20-21 to its original meaning, that the Kingdom of God is within you. It was changed to “among” you since scribes changed the meaning to refer to Jesus who was “among” them. Upon deeper study, biblical exegetists (biblical scholars), including The Interlinear Bible Hebrew – Greek- English are changing the word “among” you, back to “within” you, which it originally was. Even if you have an old bible, there will be a footnote marked at this word, sending you to the bottom of the page, saying the meaning is “within” you.

This is a crucial point. You are alive by your Soul aspect, even if you happen to be an agnostic or atheist. Every one of us is born and dies when this Soul aspect departs from us, regardless of our belief system.

It is a benefit in knowing this Soul part of yourself, which is nothing more and nothing less than your I Am Presence, the connection with All That Is.

THIS IS WHY JESUS THE CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.

Jesus taught that the Light of God is within you. Most religions misinterpret this fact. It is time now to mature in spiritual development and allow yourself to discover all of the life of Jesus, not only the 15 years of his life most Christians profess. It is important to study and learn the other 18 adult years of Jesus from his ages 12 to 30, AND, from his age 33 into old age, if anyone claims that they believe in Jesus.

It is time to discover all that Jesus taught. It is a wonderful journey.

You Are Not Born a Horrible Sinner Needing to Repent Forever


All human beings were born with the manifestation of the LIGHT of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy animating each one of us, regardless of creed, gender, nationality, race, color, age, eye color, opinion, indoctrination or any other difference humanity can contrive. Over the eons of time our DNA got messed with. It is that process and the result of their manipulation, that humanity was “dumbed down” so to speak and said to have “sinned.” That was not humanity’s fault.

How many times have you heard that you were born a sinner, requiring you to make a lifetime of amends, or join the “right” religion, or be “born again” to save your Soul?

This is what they have missed.

Every religion has their version. Sci-fi has their aliens. Books and movies have their villains. But they all look back upon that which was hidden from humanity until it was unearthed in the findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Books of Enoch, and the once well-known knowledge of the Nag Hammadi Scriptures in 1945.

Ancient occult knowledge knew what I am talking about. Modern science knows all about the Laws of Thermodynamics which state that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, only changed. What is that but Eternal Universal Life Force Energy from which every human being in every stage of existence comes from?

Then the gauntlet was laid down by fear mongers at the top of religion combined with politics in 364-367 AD, in the unholy union of church and state with the Roman Empire in cahoots with the not so holy Roman Catholic Church.

Like in other belief systems in human pre-history that decried, “Believe like me or die,” fear was the tool used then, just as it was used in the Crusades, paving the thought process down to current times with various religions spreading fear and destruction as their operating system.

Yet, humanity is filled with the attributes, resilience and a thirst for truth. We are to keep searching for wisdom until we find. Our questions will persist until we do. We are not meant to be put under anyone’s finite thumb of miniscule, regurgitated knowledge. There is more for you to know.

This is only the tip of the iceberg I discovered when I searched for the answers not found in “approved” literature, especially Old and New Testament writings. They are all based upon adulterated information, while calling the reality of what happened to humanity “apocryphal,” which means secret knowledge, not anti-Christ, nor anti-Jesus.

The New Testament boasts of the first 12 childhood years of the life of Jesus, and his last 3 adult years, for a total of 15 years. However, there is another 18 adult years of Jesus where he preached and taught. Wouldn’t you like to know what the adult Jesus said? These words of the Savior of the world are not apocryphal.

All of this is explained in my latest book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM.

https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?jJYgIBP46qu8cMrJ7rlqn8T0VppG6jhdMFWZZrFGOQ7

There is a 10% discount from the distributor of my book on the link above, although it is available anywhere books are sold.

Even Jesus himself expounds on this in Luke 17:20-21, if you allow yourself to read today’s bible where is tells humanity that the “Kingdom of God,” which is this LIGHT of God, is WITHIN us, at the time when those usurping people’s personal power, fame and fortune for themselves, altered bibles to say what they wanted it to say.

Even the Hebrew, Greek, English Interlinear Bible is putting the word “within” back in bibles which had changed the original word “within” to “among” changing the meaning. Jesus actually meant what he said when the Pharisees asked when the “Kingdom of God” would come. This “Kingdom” is the LIGHT of God that animates your Soul. Look at the footnote in any bible after the word “among,” if that is what your bible says, and you will see that the footnote says the original word was “within.”

You are a priceless treasure, because the Spirit of God lives in you, as 1 Corinthians 3:16 says. This is not based on any belief system.

Just know there is more for you to know.

How To Tell If You Are In A Cult


Brain suspended from puppet strings. A concept shot for all forms of mind control, including religious, political, and social modern-day cults.

What are the 14 signs that you might be involved in a cult?

All cults will tell you that they are not a cult. Follow your inner guidance system. You absolutely know when someone is pulling the wool over your eyes by those flashes of burning questions, irrational answers, and authoritarian insults, teachings, and not-so-subtle comments. It is a very uncomfortable feeling.

Notice when you are beginning to deceive yourself in order to go along with the group-mentality. If you have been searching for friends or like-minded people in your quest for more knowledge, pay close attention if and when people try to mold you into someone who you are not. They may even appeal to your sense of dignity, self-esteem, or other manipulation tactic.

Stand up for yourself and do not allow anyone else to rule over your life.

Do you feel like a puppet on someone else’s string?

Not all cults are slovenly. Not all cults admit they are a cult.

Decide for yourself what limitations you will allow on your personal free will, personal power, personal reputation, and who it is who holds the keys to your pocketbook. Is it the person you live with, your boss, or some other religious, political, or social club leader your boss, or are you the boss of you?

Many religious, political, and social groups lately are showing tendencies toward cult-like membership. Pay attention to how you feel when you are with groups such as this. That is your signal to leave.

I advise leaving any group of any ilk that inspires you to fear, hatred, aggression, violence, and all those who operate with a bully mentality. These individuals are also not your tribe, and not worthy of your friendship nor association.

You are better than that. You are more whole as an individual than that, no matter how lost you might feel. Seeking the lowest common denominator as a model for your life is how to destroy yourself and everyone and everything around you, including the democracy of the United States of America.

Do not listen to the wolf in sheep’s clothing encouraging you to belong to false information, conspiracies, lies, and innuendos. Don’t feed the frenzy. Leave the chaos.

Instead, opt for inspiration that uplifts your mind, body, and Soul. Reach for courage, integrity, and a magnanimous spirit. The more you use these affirming attributes, the more they will feel second-nature to you.

You are in charge of you. You do not need a boss or fearless leader (or any leaders instilling fear within you). You are in charge of you, not any rabbi, priest, minister, guru, organization, club, or any other outsider.

Follow your gut instincts. Your heart knows and recognizes the vibrational frequencies that match your own. Your heart also recognizes all those vibrational frequencies that make you feel sick, nauseous, overworked, weighed down, compromised, and sold out.

Also notice when your questions are not exactly answered, or are answered in a repetitive manner, which really does not answer your question(s).

Here are 14 Cult Markers to watch out for[1]:

  1. The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
  2. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
  3. Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
  4. The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (e.g., members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry, or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
  5. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and its members (e.g., the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar, or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
  6. The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
  7. The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).
  8. The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (e.g., lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).
  9. The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt to influence and control members. Often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
  10. Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
  11. The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
  12. The group is preoccupied with making money.
  13. Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
  14. Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

I advise you to stand up for your God-given gift of free will and break from them.

All modern bibles are correcting the word “among” to “within” in Luke 17:20-21, as the Interlinear Bible in Hebrew Greek English agrees. Even older bibles add a footnote on the word “among” sending the reader to the bottom of the page where it explains that it means “within.” Jesus taught humanity that the Light of God, which is the Light of the Kingdom, is within each one of us. That is precisely the answer Jesus gave to the Pharisees who asked him when to expect the Kingdom of God to come.

This is the very reason Jesus was crucified, because he taught that the Love (Christ) and the Light (Wisdom) of His Father, who is the Almighty Creator of All Creation, was within Him AND within you and me. He dared to preach the truth. He equated Himself with God. THAT is why Jesus Christ is our Savior, to enlighten us to this fact. THAT is what He came to teach us. He never came to die a gory death on the cross for Original Sin, which is the sin of the fallen angels, not the sin of Eve or Adam or you and me.

You are animated by Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. That is what animates your Soul. It is not part of your human mind, nor body. You have a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiencing in and through your life, until you make your ascension, reuniting with Eternal Universal Life Force Energy.

Use your free will to get out of the cult.  Use your free will to vote. No one owns the rights to your mind, your voice, or your life. Your life, body, mind, and Eternal Soul belong to you. Call someone you can trust, not a cult leader.

About My Book IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM Coming Out Soon


I’ve spent the past fourteen years reaching 203 countries, territories, and protectorates all over the world with my blog, Enlightenment Mastery, which, at this writing, has more than 118,860 views.

I interact with people of all races, genders, colors, creeds, ages, rich and poor, and any other difference people can contrive. We are all the same. People are people. It is how we live our lives, the choices we make, and allow ourselves to change our paradigms, when necessary, with opportunities and challenges in mind/body, and Spirit/Soul which define who we truly are. Thank God we get more than one lifetime to perfect ourselves in this school of life here on Earth at this moment in time.

Each chapter in this book includes quotes which I call the Library of Knowledge pertaining to the subject matter and examples of life experience. This knowledge can help with your ascension process in this lifetime. This is about free will and how you wish to use your freedom. You are your own boss, no one else rules over you, no priest, minister, or politician can rob you of your cash, property, thoughts, actions, or your voice, unless you let them. You are alive by the Divine Breath of Mother/Father God, what I also call your God Particle, which you may know as your Energy, Soul/Spirit, “I Am” Presence, Higher Self, or any other understanding of the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy which animates you. …

Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is part of the spiritual DNA of all human beings, since everyone is made up of body/mind and Soul. … It is the animating force of all human beings and all life. …

This book is a life lesson on how to stand up with peace, love, integrity, magnanimity, truth, honor, valor, gentleness, kindness, modesty, humility, patience, friendship, generosity, goodness, self-control, faithfulness, much joy, and the abundance of all good things. We learn harsh and valuable life lessons when we go against these Eternal Universal Life Force Energy principles played out in our mission, dharma, and karma as I explain in Chapter 10. …

Why on earth would there be two different Creation accounts? …

This is explained in detail, based on the Laws of Thermodynamics, which state that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed. It is a wonderful premise with which I started my book.

When it comes out, I hope you enjoy it.

Ego and Competition vs Integrity and Self-Esteem ~ Where Is Your Character Development on Life’s Scale?


Who are you when no one is looking?

What do you think about yourself?

What do you project out to others?

The answers to these important questions make up who you think you are. Yet, there is more to you than you may know.

You are a composite not only of the DNA of your ancestry but are the manifestation of the realization of your mission and dharma in this school of life.

What is your personal reason for being alive at this moment in time? Do you know? Do you know who you truly are?

The above diagram shows your Self in the center of your awareness. This is the only place where you can assess yourself, why you are here in the first place, and where you are going.

Notice at the top in the red square it notes your Self Concept. Do you have a healthy Self-Concept of who and what you truly are? You are much more than your accomplishments, regardless of how noteworthy they are. Where do your seemingly random thoughts generate from? Have you ever thought of that?

Have you limited your knowledge based on the thoughts and opinions of others? This can occur in all areas of life. Have you possibly bought into the plans of others without your Self actively personally investigating with critical thinking skills and agreeing that their premise is so? Your questions about all areas of your life will persist until you do.

Growing into a greater knowledge on the left side of this diagram of your Self encompasses much more than the outcomes of the things you think, say, and do. You have a physical and mental effect on everyone and everything around you, including your plants and animals, and other human beings, of course. But have you paused long enough to ponder how powerful this Energy is that animates you, extending way beyond the aura of your Self?

This Energy is the same Energy that feeds the manifestation of your life’s dreams, goals, and wishes. While it is intangible, it is measurable by your belief in your Self to accomplish the most difficult and seemingly impossible tasks.

How do you handle the energetic hits when someone tells you, “No, you can’t do that,” or “You can only do this other thing” when you know full well that you can?

Know that you can do any positive and life-affirming thing that you set your mind to. You are the creator of your own reality. On one hand, you know this to be true. On the other hand, how many times have you caved to someone else’s desires above your own?

Let’s talk about your reputation, how your family perceives you, how your employer and co-workers view you, how you are understood in your social circles. Even these personas do not encompass the totality of who and what you are. You are much more than they perceive. This is the bottom purple section of the above diagram. Keep all these aspects of your Self in focus when you continue on the path of increasing your authentic Self-esteem, Self-confidence, and Self-awareness. This is your Eternal Universal Life Force in action.

What others see are the outcomes, according to their perspective, about your Self. Still, they do not know all there is to know about you. Some people think they know everything about you and put your Self in the box of their own understanding. That is the most any of us can do. Know that you are much more than anyone else’s comprehension of your Self. You can think what others say about your Self does not affect you, but on a subtle level, if they are in your world at all, it can tend to put a chip on your shoulder, making you emotionally guarded and hard-hearted. This is not the proper way to deal with your Self.

Why is that?

What animates your Self is the same Eternal Universal Life Force Energy of all life, including mineral, plant, and animal kingdom life. This Energy follows the laws of science, specifically, the Laws of Thermodynamics, which state that Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, only changed. Now think of what this means about the same Energy that animates your life.

Astounding, isn’t it? You are a wonder of wonder, life experienced in and through your reality, which can be changed any time you wish to go in a different direction or achieve a different outcome. You are in charge of you, no one else, literally.

So, when you notice your ego attempting to rear its ugly head, forcing you into competitions you would rather not be a part of, creatively design another alternative for your Self is you wish to. You are not pressured to do anything against your inner Self which is a people pleasing trap.

History Repeats Itself Until Someone Stands Up For Peace ~ Integrity ~ Truth ~ Honor


My husband, John Hourihan, won a national award in the National Society of Newspaper Columnists in 2008 for the following post which is just as poignant today as it was then. His columns have won numerous awards on local, state, national, and international news. He has had his hand on the heartbeat of our Nation and the world. John stands up for truth in the face of adversity, no matter what the cost. Truth matters to John.

“I wrote this column decades ago, during W’s administration. I remembered it on (Jan. 6) as I watched the president instigate a coup as if we were some humiliating third-world pit.

“I’m sure she still slumbers in your memory, that first real beauty of your youth.

“For every young man who has stepped from childhood into the world of the differences between men and women, there was that one first beautiful girl, so physically perfect you would do anything just to stand near her.

“It was the same feeling as when you were first told as a child about the red, white, and blue of a shining country and how lucky we were to be born into the most wonderful place on Earth.

“Looking at her features was such pleasure you would do anything for her just because of her appearance. When you first saw her you were in love, wanted to protect her, stand guard for her, stand beside her, and keep her in your heart. Her physical beauty was so impressive that nothing else mattered.

“She was perfection. Remember her?

“Mine was on a California beach in the mid-60s. We soldiers-in-training had all flopped into a Corvair convertible at the Presidio of Monterey and unloaded in Carmel. Reclined on the beach, propped up on my elbows, I watched them walk by.

“Then, her dark silhouette appeared in the heat haze above the sand, coming up from the water. Ten yards or so in front of us, in the bright sunlight, she stopped and lifted her surfboard high above her head. It balanced horizontal for a split second and then she stuck it into the sand. Her actions passed frame by frame; her wet blond hair flipping back, her bathing suit barely winning the battle to hold her decent, her back arching and then snapping forward, and then as she let go of the board, she looked directly at me and smiled, a perfect white smile, burning blue eyes and a flame red bikini.

“Most on the beach just admired her from a distance, but I wanted to be closer, to see the curve of her lip, the softness of her eyes, to feast on her tanned skin.

“We spent an afternoon. She tried to teach me to surf on a board that was too small, and then we passed part of the night at a beach party somewhere down the coast.

“By the time I returned to the barracks I was in love. I couldn’t close my eyes without seeing her face, her lips and everything else a young man would look at. It was burned into my brain.

“As I stumbled into the bright lights of barracks 14, there on the bed in the cubicle next to mine, the guys I had been at the beach with were all hovering over a magazine on the bunk, and when I came in, they turned to me in awe. “This is her, right Hourihan?” Biloxi asked. I looked. The centerfold was the girl I had spent the day with. “No,” I lied, “That’s not her,” and walked off feeling betrayed: proud, but betrayed.

“Years later, a still young but grizzled combat vet, heard she had been arrested. She even did time for hard drugs. Even later, I saw a picture of her. Her beauty had been bruised and misshapen, and she didn’t look at all like the picture embedded for years in my brain – the standard by which I had judged all other beauty.

“I sat that night in an EM club drinking and thought of how she was like my country. I had loved both for their initial beauty. But in a few years of revelations, my country had been laid bare, battered beyond recognition. So many times over the years I thought of the beach and the eyes and the bikini and wanted her back the way she had been that day — so beautiful you could die for her.

“And when I look now at my country, I want the red, white and blue beauty of her returned. I want someone to return to me the fantasy of perfection that used to be America. Return to us our rights; return our love; return to us our country. I felt betrayed that night under the desk lamp in the barracks to see her laid naked and folded out for everyone to see. And I feel betrayed now that my country has been splayed for the world by our own government.

“We have been told it was OK to torture people in some instances; it was OK to deny the Bill of Rights to some people all the time, and to all people some of the time; and we built walls around our borders; and attacked half the world for religious reasons and lies.

“No longer will anyone die for her just because she is so beautiful, so perfect.

“It is foolish now to tell young people they are supposed to love their country, when as a group of adults, we don’t love her anymore. Not like we used to.

“But sometimes, in a quiet moment, I remember how awe inspiring she has been, and how, for one shining moment, she was America the Beautiful, the perfection of youth.

“Remember her?

“It would be nice to feel that way again.”

Picture of the former St. Mary’s Central Catholic Grammer School. This book is laugh-out-loud funny.

John’s life in a barrio in Arizona having knife fights at 10 and 11 years old.

John’s life in a white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant town. This is an insight into the paradox of dreams and realities of a brilliant mind in a youthful body.

He’d survived elementary school with the nuns. He lived through a year in the southwest, making friends in the barrio. He endured the class warfare of his Massachusetts high school. So when college did not work out the way he’d thought it would, John did the next best thing: he enlisted. Nothing could have prepared him for what was about to happen.

John is now retired after having won state, regional and national awards for his opinion columns in several New England newspapers. He received the Cross of Gallantry for valor in Vietnam, where he served three tours as a Vietnamese linguist.

It is my hope that you enjoy reading these insightful books on accurate history which always keep a thread or a party of humor throughout. These books are hard to put down once you open them.

Happy New Year!

Self-Esteem ~ Power of Positive Thinking ~ Personal Responsibility


Personal self-esteem can take an emotional hit when we place the value of ourselves in the eyes of others. It is a bonus when we enjoy family and friends who love us, treat us with respect, and want to be in our company. However, the opinion and treatment of others carries no weight in how we think of ourselves, unless we decide to take on the opinions of others as our own truth. That is a conscious and sometimes unconscious decision we make. I wish every person, young and old, knew this very liberating reality. What others think about us is none of our business. There is a lesson to be learned here about self-esteem, living consciously, self-acceptance, self-assertiveness, living purposefully, and personal responsibility.

Think of it this way, self-esteem is all about what we think of ourselves, not what others think of us. Self-esteem is valuing the person we are from the inside projecting outside of us. It is not a matter of matching a lower vibration of those outside of us to take into us.

Social, educational, and employment circles can falsely cripple minds of all ages if we place importance on everyone else’s opinion rather than our own belief in ourselves. This can happen to people of all ages. Relationships at home, employment, and educational settings need to be assessed periodically as a measure of you being in control of you, and not under someone else’s control-freak dehumanizing language, or behavior.

To correct a head-on collision course of self-sabotage, decide today to never again take on, as if they other person is right, any negative attributes of your character, personality, or even physical abilities or disabilities. Decide today, even if it is the first time, to try on the new thought pattern, the new behavior, and the new words that are only self-affirming, self-loving, and self-motivating into where you want your life to proceed.

If your world is filled with those who prefer to tear you down, psychologically, mentally, emotionally, physically, and yes, even spiritually, know this is not your tribe. These are not the people with whom you are meant to associate. This is a harsh lesson to learn, even when it happens within families. Better to be the lone survivor of those who use humiliation, shame, guilt, obligation, and manipulation to turn you into their puppet.

You are here on this Earth for a reason. You have a mission in this life. Maybe you have come into this life to learn a particular life lesson. Maybe you are in this life to help other people learn life lessons. There are things that need to be done that only you can do. Only you will meet the people you meet today, having a tremendous effect on you and everything around you. You are the master of your reality today. You matter. You are worthy.

Once you stand up for yourself, even by simply walking away psychologically, mentally, emotionally, physically, a new breath of positive possibility can dawn. It takes courage. You might think you cannot stand up for yourself. Yes, you can.

Changing paradigms, daily routines, and the people you choose to surround yourself with, can be challenging, yet exhilarating. One of the most difficult things in life is to change personal habits. We get addicted to our habits. They are comfortable, even if they are dysfunctional. This is similar to wanting to change other self-sabotaging habits, like smoking, dieting, and every other addiction. We can become addicted to the negative way we think about ourselves, but that does not make the negative perception true.

The first helpful thing is to switch your thinking from gloom and doom to a sunny thought, looking for the wonder and joy in each day. The bad things of each day will be there also, of course. There is good and bad with everything. Just know it is not all bad.

Yes, it is helpful and life-affirming to surround ourselves with inspirational, fun-loving people. Hopefully those can be our family and friends. But if you find yourself in a situation where change needs to happen, you can always rely on holistic health counseling to help you get to where you are going in a safe, healthy way.

Try something new, like simply smiling at people as they walk by, hold the door open for someone, and small gestures of kindness, join a group with your interests, a reading club, Yoga or walking group, or other safe ways to meet new people. Just know you are in charge of you and no one else. You are in charge of your happiness, peace, and fulfillment. That is not up to someone else. This is up to you. It is your decision to stay where you are, or to move on. The choice is yours.

You might be a more private or shy person. You can still do new things, explore online painting classes, like at Craftsy.com | Express Your Creativity! | Engage your passion with Craftsy and learn to make something beautiful! These classes have pre-recorded teachers demonstrating crafts you might like to try. Not all new endeavors require meeting people in real time. You can progress at your own pace.

Music can help to elevate moods. Moods follow thoughts, always, not the other way around. So one last tip is, if you don’t like how you are feeling, change how you are thinking. Yes, you can change what you are thinking about, like when you have had enough of something, you go do something different. Rather than staying stuck in the quagmire of self-sabotaging thoughts, make the decision to think of something more fun, relaxing, and/or inspirational.

Know that your self-esteem is not based in other people. Your self-esteem is rooted in your thoughts, beliefs, and understanding of yourself. If you are reading this, know that you have good in you and you are here for a reason.

There is a light within you. It might just be a dull glow sometimes, but it is there. This light has the power to shine on new paths, new ideas, new plans. This light is life. You decide how you will handle the upcoming holidays and new projects. Cleaning your physical space, your home, office, or employment can give you a long-awaited boost. Once you work with this light within you, you will be amazed at the good things that will come your way.

Renegade Child Bullies Grow Into Adult Bullies When They Are Never Held Accountable ~ How To Deal With A Bully Unless You Want A Generation of Bullies And People Who Cower To Bullies


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.

Light Overcomes Darkness Every Single Time


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.

“Songs we would never hear! Histories we would never know! Art we would never see! Because the European had the capacity to destroy and didn’t have the moral restraint not to.” This quote is attributed to Maulana Karenga. See: AFRICAN HOLOCAUST (Maafa) | Greatest Holocaust in History | Legacy of Slavery | Atlantic Slave Trade | Transatlantic

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.

“If” by Rudyard Kipling in 1909 Transcends To Today


Rudyard Kipling said this poem was inspired by the exploits of a British officer in South Africa, but today it transcends our world.

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;

If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!”

~ Rudyard Kipling

Obviously, this poem was written about the inner “Man” of all of us, the inner “Person” within the Individual, a Being of substance, honor, integrity, truth, magnanimity, valor, and strength. It is not the strength of the brut bully which defines strength of character. That would be the mask of the fool.

Rather, at any given moment we can choose to rise to our higher selves for the good of all humanity, which plants the seeds for us to bloom into the better beings it is possible to become.

When opportunity knocks at the doors of our choices, let us take that precious moment to elevate our thoughts, words, and actions with pearls of wisdom that builds up all humanity, fosters world peace, and generates the most love, light, and peace for the good of All.

Child Of Mine by Carole King Dedicated To My Five Beautiful Grown Children: Michelle ~ Keith ~ Kevin ~ Marie ~ Kai


How precious it is to see you all grown up. I am so glad I instilled in you the traits I deemed important, independence, integrity, honesty, and virtue. As always, I wish you the best. Know that I am always here for you, no matter how tangled life can get or impossible it may seem. My heart knows no separation from you, not time, nor distance, nor beliefs. I am your Mom, who first held and kissed you, and welcomed you into this world. I watched you grow and now treasure all your lives. In case you have not heard me say it lately, I love all of you. Life is what you make it, so make it beautiful!

God Bless You All

The Trinity of Action ~ Love ~ Wisdom ~ Power ~ Awakening Your I AM Presence ~ Using The Violet Flame As Taught by Germain And Jesus


Jesus and Germain taught that the Wisdom of Love is the Power of achieving what they did on Earth. This is how Jesus performed miracles, and Germain healed others in the Temples of Healing in Atlantis. Jesus and Germain both taught us that Wisdom, Love, and Power are WITHIN us. For some of you, if I use the name Jesus, you may want to stop reading. For others, if I use the name Germain, you may also want to stop reading. I am the bridge, shining a light on the Love, Wisdom, and Power they both teach. I say teach in the present tense because their transitioning from this world into the spiritual world did not stop their teaching, even to this very day.

Hope is real, even if it cannot be seen physically as a feeling. We can feel hope, although others around us cannot physically see the hope inside of us. We may radiate hope out into our aura to such a large degree that others might reap the benefits of a mental or emotional uplift while in our presence because of the hope we feel, yet it is still unseen by the naked eyes of others. Just because others do not see hope in physical manifestation does not mean it is not real.

The same thing goes for the reality that Jesus and Germain tried to teach us. I say, tried to teach us, because no sooner were their words out of their mouths, than other human beings contorted their words into various control systems. Many stripped the teachings of the personal power with which we were born.

Originally, we were well aware of our individual I AM Presence connecting us to the Source of all life. We radiated with the Love, Wisdom, and Power shared by the Source of Eternity Itself, since we were an expression and experience of this Source.

Through the trials and tribulations of living through the experiences of Atlantis and Lemuria, as our fascination grew with the material world, the density of ourselves over time dulled our senses. We physically became denser in mind, body, and spirit. Forgetfulness of who and what we once were made for fertile ground for the unholy powers that claimed rights to our personal power, hijacked our mental, emotional, and physical selves, and threatened humanity with manipulation, ultimatums, guilt, obligation, and fear.

Manipulation, ultimatums, guilt, obligation, and fear is what was present on the Earth prior to the arrival of Germain, formerly known as St. Germain, and Jesus the Christ. They observed the negative, dark, low vibrational frequency qualities masquerading on Earth, subjugating humanity, which served as the impetus for them coming to Earth. Things needed to change in order for Eternal Universal Energy to experience in and through us. Our mental, emotional, and physical wings were clipped. We lost our voice. Over the eons of time, people handed their I AM Presence, their God-given identity, if you will, their personal power, over to the biggest bully on the block that demanded their total oblation.

I introduce this topic again to you because of the tendency of people indoctrinated into other belief systems to deny the reality of the words of Jesus and Germain explained in this way. There is more Jesus and Germain want you to know about. For simplification, I will use the name of Germain, but both taught what follows.

The human soul is restless until it rests in the truth of who and what we truly are. The hunger to be let out of the prison we have allowed ourselves to be put into by religions, politics, and a host of other control systems can only last so long, dictating who we can and cannot speak to, how we are to live under threats of death and doom to our immortal souls, who we can vote for or be ostracized, etc. You are bigger than the boxes of opinions others try to encapsulate you in.

It is time to step away from conforming to the wills and dictates of others and continue on your character development, standing up for yourself peacefully with integrity. Others are not on the same journey you are on. Things will only ring true for them when they decide to do their own search, not when you decide to share what you have learned with them. It is an individual awakening.

What can help you to step away from the group-think tank?

Resurrect Love and Wisdom as the Power enlightening the I AM Presence with which you were born. Power is not gained through strangulation of the free will of others. That is manipulation, which is present in some form or other in every country in the world. The Power discussed here is stronger than any human-made concoction. No matter where you live on this beautiful Earth, you are born with free will. How you choose to use it is up to you.

Step out of fear. Make a conscious decision to do this. No one owns the rights to your own mind, body, and spirit. This is something you will have to do numerous times throughout your life. I have never heard of anyone making this decision only once, no matter how holy, important, or entitled you are in any human institution.

Eliminate fear as the fuel for your next thoughts, words, and actions. You are as free as you want to be. Even if you are incarcerated and living in a cell block, you have the absolute freedom to think your own thoughts. The same is true for each of us. No one owns the rights to your mind, nor the words you decide to say.

How do you get rid of fear, oppression, depression, and every other emotion that hinders your progress forward?

Germain reminds us to use the Violet Flame of Transmutation. How does this work?

Release fear from every cell of your mind, body, and spirit. Decide not to take fear back into the way you live with every cell and fiber of your being.

As you go about your day, when conflict appears on the horizon, an argument pops up, agreements stall, or any other mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dilemma turns up, mentally envision the problem going into the large Violet Flame of Germain. This is just as real as the example of hope which began this post. You may not see it, but by consciously sending it to the violet flame of transmutation, you can let go of it.

Stop focusing on what is not working. That is how to grow what is not working. It is the focus of observation that continues the broken reality. This is why when governments focus on what is not working, they get more of the same. As Albert Einstein says, it is not a matter of philosophy. It is a matter of physics.

Now you can operate with the next lightest thought, the next best idea generating more positive possibilities. This is how to heal mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. It is the only way to heal. It is miraculous.

Do You Want To Change The USA Democtratic Constitutional Republic Into An Autocracy/Oligarchy/Plutocracy Like The Republicans Are Demonstrating They Want To Do?


At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention held Monday, September 17, 1787, Founding Father Benjamin Franklin was asked “What have you wrought?”

He answered, “… a Republic, if you can keep it.”

Why is the Republican Party attacking voting rights and promoting the Big Lie as if it were real?

Voting rights and all other “rights” are not the main focus at the helm of the transitional Republican Party. The Republican Party is transmuting into a political group with ideologies different from those of the Founding Fathers.

“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” Alexander Hamilton, 1775

“…a constitution, intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.” John Marshall was an American politician and lawyer who served as the fourth chief justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835.

The words and actions being promoted and tolerated by the Republican Party are not the words and actions of a political party in agreement with freedom and liberty for all people. The adaptations they seek in “the various crises of human affairs” are not for the benefit of the humanity they are voted in to serve. Why else would they seek to diminish voting booths, and make voting more difficult?

Courage in truth, integrity, and honor are what should be required of all in the Republican Party, from those voted into office, political appointments, down to the common person on the street.

Standing up for truth, integrity, and honor, however, are much more difficult when huge corporations, conglomerates, gun lobby, the military/industrial complex, and a host of other attachments have bought the hearts, minds, and voices of the would-be public servants.

It takes courage to shape the United States of America in poignant times of global warming and climate change. Denying it is happening will not stop its progression.

It takes courage to keep the United States of America as the first paragraph of The Constitution of The United States says, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Our fledgling government was never intended to be hijacked into an autocracy, oligarchy, nor plutarchy, since none of these forms of government “form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

Now is the time for Republican leaders who want to stand the test of time positively in the history books of the United States of America as the saviors of the once-valid two-party system, to use their free will to not join the ranks of the sabotaged brand of modern Republicans, who have been infiltrated by white supremacist and hate-filled agendas.

Now is the time for integrity.

Now is the time for courage.

Now is the time to save the United States of America, unless you really do want to end up with a government of autocracy, oligarchy, and/or plutocracy.

Be The Love ~ Peace ~ Joy Of The Christmas Season


When Jesus taught us to pray, he taught us to pray for God’s kingdom. In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus also told us where the Kingdom of God is, “The Kingdom of God isn’t 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.The Catholic Living Bible, Tyndale House Publishers

The Kingdom of God is part of our spiritual DNA, which is also echoed in 1 Corinthians 3:16,“Don’t you realize that you are the Temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells within you?”

The kingdom of God we are to pray for is not brought on by ego, pride, guns, nor strife. Those are the dark tools of sinister forces whose insatiable appetites for power, money, and domination blind the brains of would-be good people, even Christians, who through deluded allegiance to God find themselves obeying man instead.

We are not to mix the counterfeit kingdom of humans with the Kingdom of God. That is not how this works. We already had the battle of Jericho. Calls sent out before January 6, to reenact the battle of Jericho at the United States Capitol, as well as all other state Capitol buildings were pure evil with lack of empathy, compassion, and love, not the will of God.

STAND DOWN.

Do you feel called to act in good faith? Then pray. Pray for the Holy Spirit to enter your heart. Jesus told us all how to think, speak and act. You will find none of his words incite any of us to violence.

If, when you pray, you feel intense anger, frustration, and hatred, then you are listening to and following the wrong god.

One of the reasons Jesus was crucified was that he taught that the Kingdom of God dwelt in him, as well as within each of us. He equated himself with God. Jesus taught us that we can do the things he did, “and even greater besides” in John 14:12. He was teaching you and me about the personal power we have within ourselves, the power of our thoughts, words, and actions. Our bodies are animated by our souls, enlivened by our I AM Presence, GOD DWELLING IN ALL OF US, according to Jesus the Christ.

This is the time for forgiveness, humility, and trust of God, not the arrogant boast and folly of humans. This is a time of introspection, considering the roles we are living in our lives, based on the choices we make. Are we living in the love, hope, peace, and truth that the kingdom of God promises? If not, you are promoting the illusion that lies, conspiracies, evil, death and destruction are good. They are not.

Jesus said, “Because of the increasing lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold.”

That is what we are seeing today in the belligerent manipulation of man usurping the will of God in individuals.

The kingdom of God is already here. The profound peace and love of the kingdom of God is already within us, as Jesus told us in Luke 17:21. We experience this when we pray, gather together in song, and meditate together for the common good of all. We touch on this brotherhood of humankind during the Christmas season, focusing on the peace, joy, and giving rather than receiving.

How do you know if the kingdom of God is within you?

The fruits of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit will be abundant in your life. If these fruits are missing from your life, you will know you have chosen the wrong road to follow.

If gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, meekness, peace, joy, love, kindness, patience, goodness, temperance, and faith are missing in your life, stop whatever you are doing and pray. Pray for the love of God, Father of Jesus Christ, to enter your heart.

Watch out for political parties or other groups once known for integrity, truth and honor, which have been hijacked by so many hate groups that many fear standing up for the right thing for losing their members. Watch out for those who attempt voter suppression tactics in major cities to silence democracy. Now, more than ever before, all citizens of the United States of America need to stand up for facts, not fiction; truth, not conspiracy; and honor and integrity over selling out the country. Truth matters.

There are so many other gods out there today, masking as the One, True God. You will know which god (God) you are following by the fruits of your labor.

How many of us would put our daughter to death for working on the Sabbath?

How many of us would not touch the skin of a dead pig, as in football?

Does the whole town need to come out to stone someone for planting two different crops side by side?

Should we burn our mothers in small family gatherings for wearing two different garments made of two different threads?

That’s all in today’s bible.

This year, let us use all of our brains not to be obedient to laws that go against humanity, peace, and the common good for all people.

Jesus taught a new rule to follow, known as the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Apply the Golden Rule to everyone, man, women, and child, in every circumstance as the way of peace.

Natural Problem Solvers ~ Peace ~ Honesty ~ Integrity ~ Harmony ~ Love


Have you ever noticed how discord, lies, lack of integrity, anger and hate never solve any problem? All of these approaches to life deflect, deny, and denounce problems, but they are not the right tools to use to solve them. It is only a matter of time before twists and turns against pretend realities catch up to the truth that manifests itself in all situations.

Living in a modern world of audio and video, we can see events unfold right before our eyes. There is no spin or fake news when we observe things first hand for ourselves. Recognize deflection when you see it. Stand for truth, not someone else’s version of truth that you feel you must conform to. Rather stand for the truth you see right before your eyes, heart and mind.

Before any doctor can operate on a patent, the doctor needs to make an assessment, diagnosis, then plan a course of action for the health of the patient. A proper diagnosis is key. There must be a specific plan put in place in order to change the tide of sickness in all its hideous forms.

We can use this analogy in healing ourselves, our relationships and even in healing our nation.

To keep shining a light on the problems we see is like staying in counseling for life, because we are only focusing on the problems. As long as we only focus on the problems, we will remain in the problems. The problem is not the other guy. The problem is not “out there.” The problem is within ourselves and our lack of awareness of how to heal.

As long as we continue to point fingers at others and stay connected to the root cause of any and all dysfunctional issues, like a super magnet holds its intense grip, we will fail to find positive solutions. Positive problem-solving involves flipping the off switch to the things we have allowed ourselves to be bound with so tightly. Then move on. Do not use your free will to stay stuck just because that is the dysfunction that has become what you might think is normal.

You and I are stronger than any problem that presents itself. Whether it is personal issues, government issues, or global issues, there is no problem we cannot solve, especially when we work together for the common good.

Begin with a foundation of peace and harmony within your heart, mind and body. Acknowledging the next challenge that presents itself is different from wallowing in the stifling grip of self-delusion and self-sabotage. Countries worldwide also fall into this trap.

With eyes wide open, see the situation calling for your attention, without stirring the pot of drama, chaos and dysfunction. This is the key point. There is a way to handle problems in our lives with peace, dignity, integrity, honesty and grace.

Make a plan and announce it to yourself, your peers, your country. It is not enough to say, “This is the problem …” with no definite solution in mind. No country will stand, for example, with its leaders saying, “Do not worry. I’ve got this. We’ll come up with the best plan ever,” then not even announce to everyone what the plan is in the light of day.

Hidden agendas are a red light to sabotage what is about to happen, whether it be a relationship you are working on, a political platform, or any other situation you are trying to remedy. In a relationship, the two people involved would not speak in generalities to each other. Instead, they would come up with concrete ideas.

What are your concrete plans to manifest peace, harmony, honesty, integrity and love in your life, and in the world around you? Don’t just read this. What are your definitive plans? Write them down. Look at them each day until you manifest your heart’s desire.

Bring to mind the aspects of peace in your life. What does peace look like? What is the surest way you can achieve peace?

What do you need to do to balance harmony in your life? This life we live is not harmonious by nature. Storms ravage our shores, floods and droughts devastate our lands, relationships have personality and other obstacles to work through, etc. What is our specific goal to bring harmony to a relationship? What are the political points required to heal a broken nation? Write it down. Share these positive aspirations and goals with others in decision making roles. Share these goals and plan of action with the citizens of the nation.

Pick up the cross of honesty, and its close cousin, humility. It takes a humble person to be honest. Anyone can choose to be the biggest puff of wind in the room. But the biggest puff of wind in the room disapates when a window of opportunity opens and a gust of fresh air cleanses the room. The same holds true for personal relationships as it does for honest political aspiration void of devious and dark agenda. Selfishness in relationships and in politics eventually sink the ship of unbounded greed of power and money.

Integrity is the firm foundation in every solid creation of a beautiful relationship and also in a freedom-loving democracy. Integrity seeks to uphold truth, honor and valor as it holds the torch of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all. This means standing tall against the ignorant bluster of prejudice. No relationship or government can withstand the free reign of prejudice in all its ugly forms to metastasize as a malignant growth upon the life of any relationship or country.

Love is the only answer to every problem. Love does not allow devious deception by robbing peace and harmony for the good of only a chosen few who hijack the good and goods of the relationship, or the country for themselves. Love seeks to help rather than harm.

Working together for the collective goal of peace, harmony, honesty, integrity and love , in our every thought, word and action is the answer. Love is the only answer.

God Bless Everyone Everywhere
