The only time when dark energies, which personify as hate-filled agendas, crime, and evil take place, is when enough good people do nothing.
There is much that you can do in your everyday life to help this world and where you live to lower the temperature of ego-filled and hostile attitudes. Be the first to find the missing empathy, compassion, Love and Light it takes to create a new healing path forward.
You can do this.
It is not about being right or wrong. It is about the gentle touch of your perspective about what all sides of the situation is going through, especially in complicated situations. No amount of retribution, threats, and negative options quells the insanity of perpetual violence. That only creates more, because what you focus on GROWS.
Now in the time to join to find more peaceful solutions to everyday family, work and social life. It is time to lower the hostile temperature that is increasingly spilling out into the world.
It all begins with you.
The wars of the world are only a side effect of the attitudes that each of us fuel every time we chose thought, words, and actions of the lower vibrational frequencies, such as fighting and not repairing all kinds of relationships when humanly possible.
It is so much easier to blame the other guy, but that solves nothing. Every person has the responsibility to create a better world in which to live.
All energy from moods, feelings, thoughts, words, and actions result from the fuel you ignite them with. They can change in the blink of an eye, but first you must be willing to try, or try again, or try again for the hundredth time.
I challenge every human being who reads this post, regardless of where you live in the world, to join me in purposefully choosing to make more empathetic, sympathetic, understanding, and compassionate thoughts words and actions from now on in every decision we make.
This is one way to stop the hate that appears to be running like the wild stallions across the plains. Be the impetus for change, change for a better tomorrow for everyone in the entire world.
If you ever find you have recurrent obsessions, like persistent ideas, thoughts, or impulses which are intrusive to your life and cause you marked anxiety and distress, you might have obsessions.
If you find yourself habitually expressing repetitive behaviors, like checking your doors or under the bed repeatedly without being able to stop without experiencing heightened stress and anxiety, you might have compulsions.
Can you stop them without mental distress?
If your thoughts and actions take over your life with a life of their own, then you might have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Do you bear a wearying consciousness of yourself and your stresses everywhere you go?
There are two points to share here. One is to know that there are some self-help tools you can all do that are extremely effective.
The other point to remember is that while you can do many things to help yourself, there are times when you cannot simply “decide” not to have a chemical imbalance or other physical and/or mental condition which requires a medical physician or psychiatrist.
While your insane ego might like not to require you to take prescription drugs, it is sometimes exactly what is needed.
A human body or mind is no less a body or mind if it is in need of assistance in balancing you in mind, body and/or Spirit/Soul.
First, take a look at self-help tools that work. Be honest with yourself. No one can lie to yourself like you can when you do not want to address an issue you do not want to deal with.
Rule number one is to drop the negative self judgement. Realizing who you are and what makes you tick is truly a wonder-filled thing. When you stop denying things about you that are there, you can make great strides in any direction you choose.
That’s right. You get to choose.
Rationally you may understand that your obsessions and compulsions are not necessary, while at the same time, you may not be able to stop them. Telling yourself that you do have a choice is huge, because up until now, you may have understood yourself to be at the mercy of the situation.
Rule number two is to reprogram your mind. You need to reprogram the victim mentality, to a self-empowering mentality.
You may not like to think of yourself as “programmed.” But that is what has happened to you if you find yourself with dysfunctional habits. You have been “programmed” by your family, your environment and life situations, and by what you take in, like television shows, commercials, movies, not to mention fear-based religious institutions.
How free are you, really?
To get in control of yourself and become self-empowered, you need to choose a mantra, such as an I AM statement as if you are already recovered from this problem. For example, if you want to stop the addictive compulsion to always check under the bed, you can think, “I am relaxed and confident and no longer need to look under the bed,” or whatever the compulsion is.
Does this work the first time you think it?
No, it does not.
It is in repeating this new mantra, even if it is the opposite of how you are feeling at this moment and repeating this new behavior that re-trains the mind to think and the body to do something differently.
It takes 21 days to change a habit, any habit. New statements you think, and new behaviors you do will feel like you have two left feet at first. Expect that. It is part of the healing to step outside of your comfort zone. You need to remind yourself that this new, odd feeling is OK. You will get past it.
Mantras work by changing the vibrational message in the mind. Mantras need to be repreated often, like at least 3-10 times each hour, or as often as you remember to say them. Sticky notes everywhere you look are also a help, like on mirrors, walls, doors, tables, our cars, everywhere.
You need to go easy with yourself. Any progress you make is good progress to build upon. No beating yourself up. Be very loving and gentle.
You can stop fear and anxiety, worry and uneasiness from lurking around every corner. You are not alone. Know that everyone has something, some issue to work on. No one is perfect, so join the club.
What you think about, you bring about. Every time a dark or negative thought comes in, like, “This is stupid,” or “This won’t work,” tell yourself, “Yes, this DOES work,” which it absolutely does.
All of these self-help suggestions also work in tandem with your doctor’s helps as well. You can make your life anything you want, so make it beautiful.
Being like an ostrich with its head in the sand does not make the problem go away.
Becoming a people pleaser happens when you give away your personal power. It is a coping mechanism. Giving away your personal power, saying yes when you really mean no, is an outward sign of an inner conflict within yourself.
It may begin simply as a way to keep your job, join a new group of people, or a host of any other valid reasons you wish to promote yourself in other groups. The question is, how much of yourself do you choose to give away?
You might have fostered this self-sabotage trap in your youth depending on the motivational techniques used by your parents, teachers, and others in your world. Or perhaps your parents were absent, worked a lot, or for other reasons were not there to support you. When this happens, you may have had the tendency to look to others for the affirmation, rather than draw from our own self-esteem.
This may be a habit you do not even know you have until you feel used by people. Are you the one everyone else always comes to when extra chores need to be done in the social settings you belong to, at work or with friends?
It is one thing to offer our help from time to time. Doing service for the greater good of humanity is good for the soul. For a short time, if your work needs your extra attention on a project, or your friend needs help, you may choose to volunteer. The key words here are “for a short time.”
But how many friendships have been lost because one person is always the giver, and the other person is always the taker?
Are you always the giver?
Are you always the taker?
This may happen without your being fully conscious of it. Your patterns of thinking, speaking and acting may be on a pre-programmed habitual loop.
When an unfair situation does occur to you, how do you handle it?
It is wonderful the moment when these situations present themselves to your consciousness, because up until that point, you can go years without realizing others are taking unfair advantage of you by your own lack of standing up for yourself.
Once you recognize your patterns of behavior, you have a choice, and your head gets more in the game alerting you to make more conscious, and possibly different decisions.
Depending on your previous conditioning, or your misguided need to be needed, you may choose to continue giving your personal power away and volunteer your life away, in the hopes that your efforts will gain you acceptance, status, recognition, friendship, or to be better liked.
Again, the key phrase is, “for a short time.” For a short time, you can burn the candle at both ends, carry an extra heavy workload, help someone through a health crisis. The trouble begins when you do not stand up for yourself, when the short time turns into what is expected of you over the long haul.
It is interesting to watch yourself when you begin to find your voice. Often what happen is, you may get fed up. You’ve had enough. You get angry with the situation, or the other person because you feel that they are abusing you; when in reality, you have allowed this to happen to you.
Being like an ostrich with its head in the sand does not make the problem go away.
You are not a victim unless you choose to be. No one wants to hear that, especially if you feel you have been wronged or been taken advantage of by others.
Who is really at fault here, you not standing up for yourself, or the other guy who knows your patterns of behavior and goes along with your permissions?
You are not in charge of other people’s actions, but you are in charge of yours.
What tends to happen next, is that you can over-react. You may find yourself angrily lashing out that you need to stop being friends, or you quit the club, or set clear boundaries with others.
However, it is enough to simply stop, to simply say no to extra activities, even with a smile.
When did you have to explain your every thought, word or deed to everyone?
You can say “no” lovingly, state your mind with integrity, drop the fear and the anger.
This is a learning process. You may already have this down pat. Or perhaps, no matter what age you are, you are still learning how to stand up for yourself. This is especially true if you are in the midst of changing addictive patterns in your life. You need to give yourself time to change whatever habits you want to change.
You can do anything you set your mind to think, say and do, holistically for the good of all, of course.
The way you judge others is the way you will be judged, according to Jesus who told all people to stop judging. He did tell everyone to love one another.
The world is in need of forgiveness. Each person on the planet is in need of forgiveness from time to time. This is the human condition of every person in every single country in the world.
“Love one another as I have loved you.” ~ John15:12-13
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” – John 3:16-17
“The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.” ~ Luke 16:14
Don’t be like the Pharisees. Do you sneer at loving your perceived enemy?
Love and Peace are the constant themes taught by Jesus Christ.
Do you justify thoughts, words, and actions that go against the worlds of Jesus, Buddha, and common sense for a peaceful home, country, world?
If you are you looking to hate those unlike yourself, who do not believe exactly as you do, then you are following the wrong “God” home.
Even the Eagles song, Learn To Be Still, cautions not to follow the wrong “God” home:
The following is taken from my book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM:
Re-member who you are.
The loss of empathy and compassion in the world today is astounding.
In your corner of the world, it does not have to be like that. Your problems and life situations are no different than the next person. Every human being wants enough food to eat, decent clothes to wear, and a place to lay their head at the end of the day, preferably staying warm and dry in the process, without war, bloodshed, and violence. These are human necessities. Humanity has traded empathy and compassion for extreme judgment in the present moment in history in many cases. Money is not the bottom line and will most likely not save your Soul unless you use it as a tool, not as a god.
While we do need to judge safe surroundings and safe relationships, judging can be harmful when we judge others by different rules than when we judge ourselves. People of color are no different from white people. People of different races are no different from Anglo-Saxon genealogies. People of different languages are no different from those who speak your native tongue.
Realize you are no better than anyone else in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S), androgynous, asexual, (LGBTQQIPSAA) and ally community. The term two-spirit is used by some indigenous North Americans to describe those who fulfil a traditional third-gender ceremonial role.[1] People are people. Stop with the incessant and harmful judging as Jesus told us in Matthew 7:1.
The separations within our hearts, minds, and voices are not those of human inventions. This is part of the influence of the fallen angel and Nephilim spiritual DNA within each person since the beginning of humanity. The global flood is said to have wiped out all the physical manifestations of the fallen angels and their children, the Nephilim, but not their unholy Spirits/Souls.
Remember also that the Original Sin placed upon Adam and Eve is that of the fallen angels, not humanity. Once this reality seeps into the crack of our questions, the freedom to be who we truly are allows for more breath of vision and comprehension. This knowledge opens the door to finally being able to answer the age-old question of why cruelty and oppression of people and manipulation of material goods and selfish greed happen. …
Expect miracles, those fragrant flowers appearing in your wildest dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Miracles still happen today even in the most difficult of circumstances. Expect the unexpected. There is more to you than you realize. Be the open door, allowing healing, recovery, and next positive steps to take place. Be the change you want to see in the world, as Mahatma Gandhi said. Be the beauty. Be the wonder. Be the inspiration for yourself and others. Miracles happen every day, but if you are not looking for them you will never see them.
It is good to have boundaries. A lake without a boundary is a swamp.
But having boundaries of what you will and will not allow in your life is different from expecting miracles, and/or making harsh judgments. Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is waiting for your blueprint to be put into action. What are your desires for your future, relationships, employment, life? Meditate on the exact qualities you want to attract in your life.
The emotional, mental, physical, and Light (spiritual) bodies tell on you, even when you may not be consciously aware of why things are happening the way they are. Your emotional thought process emanates out from you. Your aura, as part of your Lightbody, is your report card, your real-time review of your life moment to moment. The reality of your life includes all parts of you, not just the physical body. …
You can mature in body, mind, and spirit. It is your Soul’s mission to experience all levels of you, including Soul awareness, the Light of Divine Essence within you. This is your I AM Presence. Realizing this is also part of the Ascension process, being able to release what no longer serves you. Recognize when you are in the mode of fear, obligation, guilt (FOG), and/or manipulation. You might be the aggressor, or you might be the temporary victim, either way is not good for you. No one owns the right to your personal happiness. You do.
Do you believe you can change?
No situation, nor does any other person own the rights to your Soul. You are the Temple and a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Re-member this, as in re-connecting to the Larger Whole Eternal Life Force Energy. Re-member to breathe. Your breath is life to you. Where does your breath come from? You first received oxygen from your mother’s blood flow through the umbilical cord and into your body. At birth, you drew in your first breaths, which seemed revolutionary to you. But you did it. The hardest thing for any human being is to be born.
Fear is the void waiting for you to step up and live fully, with no guilt or obligation. You own the rights to your own thoughts, words, and actions. Release fear and never be manipulated again.
You were created “in their image and likeness.”
The above is taken from my book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, which is the first book in the trilogy that won the 2024 International Impact Book Awards in the category for Social Change. You can find it on my website: https://LindaHourihanHHCP.com, or on Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, and Google Play Books.
Namaste
Namaste means the God in me recognizes the God in you.
This is the long-awaited trophy that I was awarded for writing the book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM in the 2024 International Impact Book Awards writing competition in the Social Change category.
Why am I only sharing this trophy with you now?
It is because I only received this acknowledgement of my years of research by special delivery yesterday. This book was originally published in October 2023. I submitted this book for the International Impact Book Awards contest early in 2024 and won in the Social Change category. However, it patiently waited on the custom docks due to surprise tariffs that held it hostage until its recent release.
This major award and achievement I earned is not merely a national award. It is an international award. Each individual country in this one beautiful world we all live on are much more connected than our human egos might want us to believe. We all share a common destiny for our human emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual lives.
All humanity is in this plight together, trying to live our lives as best as humanly possible. No one wants to be the ignorant fool who blows up the world to prove that his or her indoctrination in their understood brand of politics, religion, or social change is the only way to live in this one garden of life.
That would simply be a fool’s errand.
What has brought us to this precipice of deciding which “God” is better, which system of government is better, or which side of problem solving is better in the human dilemma of how to get along with each other?
This translates to this outrageous moment we all are finding ourselves in this exact moment. This trophy that I earned for studying religions, politics, and social structures of the world gave birth to my findings in this award-winning 3-book series, which also includes: MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM, and the last book in this series, NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, subtitled, LIGHT WITHIN THE ANGEL, MINERAL, PLANT, AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS.
I have 20 paperback copies of IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM, left for purchase by anyone interested in buying them since this book is in its second printing, now with Book Publisher USA.com. I will let you know when it is again available. You may email me at linhourihan@yahoo.com if you wish to purchase this book so you do not have to wait for its second publication. It originally sold for $17.99. I will sell my remaining copies for $15 each, if you are interested in it.
Coming to grips with the understanding that humanity does not have to sink to the lowest common denominator in the adult sandbox of the world is a healing remedy to a hurting humanity. This is not an insult to any human being on the planet at this time. It is a peaceful solution which is possible for everyone.
What is it that fuels humanity in the direction that it truly does not want to go in?
Let’s take a closer look.
There is a cancer upon not only the Maga Christians today, which bases its understanding on the War God instead of the Father of Jesus Christ. If they do not know this, it is because this information has been hidden from public view for unholy purposes of gaining your personal power, fame (your reputation and “club” which you belong to), and fortune (the keys to your cash). I go into great detail about this in IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM. This book also explains the difference between the ever-popular War God and the Father of Jesus Christ. They are different.
Christians follow Jesus Christ. What did Jesus teach, was it war? No, Jesus taught love in all forms, forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and loving each other, no matter what happens. But the hate-filled War God made sure Jesus was crucified because the War God does not want peace, but the dark and inhuman promotion of war and all the materialism and greed that promotes it.
This is not only a “Christian” problem. The cancer that has spread to every religion tells on itself by revealing its fruits.
If it is hate-filled, you are following the “War God,” not the correction which Jesus Christ came to teach all humanity, regardless of which brand of human political, religious, or social indoctrination you are following.
Trying to prove you are right when you are not, is also a fool’s errand.
You do not pluck apples off an orange tree, and you do not gather figs off a cherry tree. You will know them by their fruits.
IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM explains in empathetic and compassionate terms how following the War God will lead humanity to cataclysmic devastation, while following the words of understanding, problem solving, and seeking resolutions will be the life-giving seeds of peace and prosperity for all involved.
Hurting humanity in any way is the tell-tale mark of following the wrong War God home to a place where you do not wish to be.
The following picture is a snapshot of the engraving from the International Impact Book Awards committee that awarded me this prestigious award. The trophy stands upon this engraved base.
I am also a FINALIST in the 2025 International Impact AUTHOR OF THE YEAR writing competition for my latest book, TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIOUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY.
The future of humanity does not need to only be a dark and fearful place filled with multiple wars worldwide. We will grow whichever seeds we plant, either greed, ruthlessness, anger, and retaliation, or building up and healing all humanity in whichever corner of the world we call home with empathy, compassion, repair, common ground and ideals of peace, love, and happiness for all.
You are so powerful that you will reap exactly what you sow. First you manifest through your thoughts, then words, then actions.
Now is the time to build bridges, not walls, problem solve, not create the problems. It is the ego that gets in the way. Who wants to be wrong, or change course? Doesn’t that show weakeness?
No. Look at your children. Weakness is continuing to fight on the merry-go-round of lies and dysfunction. But strength, inner strength, is the upper hand of integrity and the backbone of character and adult maturity.
Now is the time to climb out of the adult sandbox of warlike games, and follow the Loving God, Father of Jesus Christ if anyone dares to call themselves Christians or religious people of any stripe. Christians supposedly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. He taught peace, not war. Jesus told Peter to put down the sword. Remember?
This does not mean you are to be heartless, cold, nor egotistical. The question is, who is in charge of you?
Are situations you cannot control in charge of your emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual wellbeing, or are you in charge of your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Discover shielding so as not to be drawn breathlessly in on every drama present in this world today. Yes, these involve life and death decisions. No, this is not heartless. It is heartwarming and life preserving to realize that you are not called to be like the firefighter responding to every call, especially if there is nothing you can do about it except to worry.
What does worry solve?
Nothing.
If there is something you can do to alleviate suffering within yourself, your family and friends, your country, or in your spot in the world, then that is what you “should” do if you feel called to answer that call.
You are the boss of you, no one else. Take a deep breath and assess what, if anything, you can do at this exact moment. It is all about keeping balance in your life and that of your family, friends, community, nation, and world, in that order.
However, most of us may suddenly feel obligated to respond to every ill in society, erroneously thinking that pouring all your thoughts, words, and actions out on every dilemma will immediately solve all the problems.
Your personal power lies in your ability to see what is going on and make decisions based on the information you have at hand.
Know that now is not forever. Make careful plans for the most life-giving and love-filled solutions you decide to act on, then begin there. Find the peace in knowing you can only do your best with the information you have.
Life is a beautiful treasure. It is how we decide to live our lives, in truth and dignity that will reap the most joy. Everyone will always reap the seeds they have sown. This is how cause and effect works. It never fails. Some call this karma, the boomerang of life.
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.
How can you tell if you have been conned by a cult, even a political, religious or social cult?
How do you get out of a cult?
Should anyone else tell you how to vote?
Should anyone else tell you what to believe?
Do you believe in censorship?
Who is in charge of you?
How old are you?
Do you believe that the government should monitor women’s menstrual cycles?
Do you believe one faith should dictate how you should live your life?
IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM is the latest best-selling book empowering everyone including adults of every age and gender on how to reclaim your personal power, fame (your reputation).
Discover how to reclaim your personal power, fame (your reputation), and fortune (keys to your cash) that may have been usurped by others, or which you might have freely given away to others because you might have thought they knew much more than you.
Reclaim your personal power, fame, and fortune with your next decision. You are in charge of you, no one else, especially if you are an adult. No religion, political party, or social group owns your thoughts, words, and actions.
Regain your personal freedom from anyone telling you how to think and what to do. You are in charge of you, not anyone or any group of people, no matter how kind, supposedly well-meaning, influential, important, wealthy, religious, political, or socially minded they might appear. This is a perfect example of mind control and self-sabotage. Fear is the unholy tactic they use. It is a manipulation tactic. Leave them as soon as humanly possible.
Follow your gut instinct, not some would-be leader, which is nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Have you ever said, “You made me …. think, say, or do something?”
Have you ever blamed someone for the way you feel?
Have you blamed the other guy for getting fired, getting in trouble, or anything else?
This is a lesson in personal character development. It’s not the other guy’s fault. It is a lesson in maturity. It is one of those things that will keep repeating until the lesson is learned.
Using your emotions, words, and actions to try to get other people to respond to you in a certain way is called emotional blackmail.
It takes personal integrity to own up to our own shortcomings, mistakes, lies, and bad decisions. Everyone makes mistakes in life. Not one of us is perfect. This is how people of all ages learn. No matter how old you are, you are never too old to learn something new, a better way.
Also, other people do not have to walk on broken eggshells to be around you in order not to “make” you feel a certain way. You do not have to own any dark or negative feeling unless you want to feel that way. Choosing to stay in a negative emotional space is called wallowing and serves no healthy purpose. Others cannot make you feel anything that you do not want to feel. It is time to be honest with ourselves and why we are choosing to feel a particular way.
Everyone has the right and ability to choose to feel good. Those who are dealing with negative peer pressure at any age would do well to know that it is possible to remove your physical self from situations that are unhealthy. Everyone has the ability to stop reading malicious gossip and walk away from gossip circles where those who think they are popular prove that they are not. Those who gossip about others show their own emotional bankruptcy. Just because someone else chooses to use negative speech does not make it true. You already know this.
It is not the case that you have to manipulate outer circumstances to make yourself feel a certain way. It’s not about controlling others or circumstances at all. It is about realizing that you are in control of yourself. It feels good to finally realize that you are in control of you, no one else.
Sometimes, people think they have to justify negative feelings that come their way, almost feeling the need to fuel the fire of misunderstandings and hurts that sparked them as a way of “being true to themselves.” This is a mistake. It turns a small flame of hurt into a raging bonfire that is hard to put out. It’s a pity party, a self-sabotage trap that does not need to happen. This is emotional quicksand. Stop thinking this way as soon as you recognize it. Yes, you can.
If this happens to you, once you realize this is happening, it is easy to simply acknowledge that feeling, and in the next moment decide to think a better, happier thought. We are all in charge of our own thoughts. Our thoughts do not remain in our heads unless we feed them with our attention and emotions.
It is simply a matter of DECIDING to think in a new and healthier way. It is your DECISION to invest more in your own healing and well-being and in what others think, say, and do. It is a DECISION you DECIDE TO MAKE THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
IT IS ALSO AN AWARENESS OF THE ETERNAL UNIVERSAL LIFE FORCE ENERGY WITHIN YOU. IT CONTAINS LOVE, WISDOM, AND KNOWLEDGE. IT IS LIGHT.
This Light is inside you, just as it is in all living things. This Light is your Essence, your personal Life Force, which no one can steal away from you. It belongs to you alone. This is a Bright, White, Eternal Universal Life Force Energy that pulses through every fiber of your DNA. It is not dependent on your viewpoint, opinion, or understanding. It is your own Chi, Prana, Qi, otherwise known as Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. It is this same Energy that radiates through every tree, leaf, and bird. It animates everything. No other person has more of it than you.
It’s time to be kinder to yourself, to forgive yourself, and forgive others. You do not need to punish yourself for the misunderstandings of others, nor for your own misunderstandings. Take a new breath of fresh air.
You are in charge of you, no one else. Your happiness does not rest on others understanding. Your happiness rests on your understanding of yourself, of you being true to yourself.
It also takes strength of character, to take a deep breath of compassion for others. Having this compassion is called grace.
Grace is the ability to let someone “off the hook,” so to speak, because they simply have no frame of reference for your feelings due to their own lack of experience, especially if you do not explain how you are feeling to them. Grace is treating someone with the same dignity with which you also want to be treated.
You can go around in similar circles, yet you will always find yourself at a new beginning because all your paradigms change constantly with your every thought, word, and action.
How can you recover after permanent major life changes that have rocked your world to the core of its existence? Humanity is currently picking up the pieces left after death and destruction, broken relationships, lost employment, relocation, and a host of other realities that are hard to handle. Haunting reminders linger triggering you into immobility if you do not pay attention to these traps. Pretending things are fine when they are not paralyzes the situation. Here are some things that can help you when you are trying to recover your life.
You change your paradigms with each decision you make. You can choose to make your life beautiful, rather than only react to the stimulus around you.
Take charge of your emotional and mental health. This is extremely empowering. While it may seem to be an overwhelming task, it is really quite simple. It is a decision you make. Decide from now on you are at the helm of your emotional and mental health, even if you are seeking counseling and/or are also on medications. This advice works no matter what.
2. This requires a change in the way you see yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else does. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You know what makes you tick. You also know the things that usually trip you up and your go-to response every time history repeats itself.
The key point to taking charge of yourself is to allow yourself to think of yourself in new ways. Know that your ego will not like this, and will fire back responses such as, “You do not really know me,” or “That will not work for me.” It is uncomfortable for the ego to change what is familiar. It may be uncomfortable, but necessary if you every hope to heal your situation.
As long as you dig your heels into the dysfunction that binds you, you will stay bound. That is your choice. You do have a choice despite what past habits may show you. Even if you have never been able to change your renegade thoughts before, know that you can. Each time a self-sabotaging thought comes to your mind, make yourself change what you are doing, and don’t argue with yourself about it. Call to mind a happy memory, listen to uplifting music, or use aromatherapy, since scent is the strongest of all triggers. Peel an orange or boil cinnamon and cloves in a pan of water for 15 minutes.
3. Stop what you are doing and take 15 deep breaths. Taking 15 deep breaths can lower your blood pressure. Envision calmness entering you with the oxygen circulating through your blood stream enlivening you, regenerating you. With each out breath, drop your shoulders away from your ears. Relax.
4. Make a new plan. Create a new paradigm. The old path you took taught you so many lessons. This was not a failure. This was a learning curve. No one knows ahead of time how the death of a loved one, a divorce, leaving home, or traveling across the country for a new job will affect you until it does. Be easy with yourself. Stop beating yourself up for not having ESP, and even if you do have ESP, stop all self-sabotaging behaviors.
You do not have to stay bound to dysfunctional thinking nor past or present habits. It is possible to change the way you think. You just have to be willing to try.
You are not a victim unless you choose to be.
It takes 21 days to change a habit. Begin today deciding to take these 6 steps:
A. to be safe. First things first, make sure you are safe. No one holds the right to your life, you do. Excuses and justifications do not count if you are being threatened or attacked. There is never a reason for someone to choke or hit you during an argument because you stepped out of some acceptable social norm. If you give in to another explanation of why it is OK to abuse you, you are in for a life of being under the abuser’s thumb.

Rule #2: MAKE SURE YOU ARE SAFE. National Domestic Violence TTY Hotline 800-787-3224
Rule #3: MAKE SURE YOU ARE SAFE. Abuse Victim Hotline by state www.avhotline.org
B. what you will and will not allow in your life. This might mean avoiding negative people who sabotage you. Anyone who constantly complains and dumps their bad day on you is not really your friend. Do you always feel bad around some people? Do not allow people to use you. Learn to stand up for yourself. You can do this peacefully. You are your best advocate.
C. never to react to anything ever again. Peacefully plan ahead how you will handle situations that have sunk you in the past. Stop the moment you recognize an old dysfunctional pattern playing out before you. Stay calm, smile, and levelheaded.
D. remain positive in the face of the dysfunction of others. Just because someone else is in a bad mood does not mean that you have to mimic them. Do not give your goodwill, nor your good mood away to any grump, bully, tyrant, or anyone else ever again. They do not know what to do if you just smile back at them. They do not own the rights to your happiness, you do.
E. make a plan for your future, go back to school, pick up a new hobby, make a new friend, change your career, investigate your options. The sky is the limit.
F. take positive steps only in the direction you want to go. Even if you have done these one hundred times, do it again. Begin today.
You can change to having a better life the moment you decide to do just that. I learned at 16 years old that life is what you make it. Make your life beautiful. You hold the keys to your life, no matter where you live, or what situation you find yourself.
If you are in dire circumstances, make a plan for your very next move. As an adult, you know the direction you need to go that will let your Soul live free, not under the thumb of any other human being, or set of rules by other restrictive organizations. Find groups that support you in the path you have chosen to go forward, like Alcoholics Anonymous or other substance abuse hotlines, weight loss programs, exercise gyms, craft clubs, or animal rights groups, gardening clubs, Yoga classes, etc. You can thrive in this lifetime you presently have.
Be the butterfly born out of the cocoon of your dreams, hopes, and plans for a better future. Begin, or begin again today.

“I didn’t arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”
“Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think.
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world.”
“Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.”
“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”
“A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
“Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.”
“When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.”
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
“We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”
“When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”
“The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.”
“The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.”
“The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.”
“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike. We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.”
“I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.”
“The common idea that I am an atheist is based on a big mistake. Anyone who interprets my scientific theories this way, did not understand them.”
“Everything is determined, every beginning and ending, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.”
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It will transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
“Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
“I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. I claim credit for nothing. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
Maria Milagros was the afternoon keynote speaker at this year’s Central Mass Conference For Women. She did not agree with the diagnoses given to her. Instead, with unflinching determination, she walked after she was told she would not be able to, attended the conference with her beautiful daughter when she was told she would never have children, and closed her presentation by dancing all over the stage when she was told she would never be able to dance again. She placed her Mind over Matter.
The mind is a powerful thing. Mind over matter is the key to miracles. This key to miracles is to focus ONLY on the direction you want to go, NEVER CAVING TO FEAR, OBLIGATION, GUILT, (known as FOG), nor MANIPULATION, nor any other dark or negative emotion. The POWER is in the FEELINGS and EMOTIONS. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU BRING ABOUT.
This year at the Central Mass Conference For Women, the afternoon Keynote Speaker, Maria Milagros, spoke of her experience as a teenager who fell 9 floors from an apartment balcony, landing flat on her back on cement. I remember her telling the 650 attendees that she broke her back in 9 places, (I believe it was 9 places.) The doctor told her she would never be able to walk again, dance again, and never have children.
Maria informed her doctors that, in fact, she would walk again, dance again, AND have children. While in the hospital (for a very long time), when Maria felt she could try, she insisted on taking her first steps out of her hospital bed. The nurses kept kicking her up off the floor and putting her back in bed, scolding her each time. The doctor and nurses kept telling her it was ridiculous to even try.
SHE DECIDED NOT LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR, THE NURSES, NOR ANYONE ELSE WHO TOLD HER WHAT SHE COULD AND COULD NOT DO. IT WAS A DECISION SHE MADE AND STUCK TO, REGARDLESS OF THE PAINFUL PROCESS OF RECOVERY.
Maria kept trying, and finally met her doctor in the hall one day while she was practicing walking and simultaneously pushing along her IV drip pole. She said, “I told you I would walk again!”
In the picture above, you see the back of the head of her daughter, seated next to the women in a purple top.
At the end of her presentation, she led a dance session, with her dancing all over the stage while we stood and danced in our places right along with her.
This is an EXTREMELY POWERFUL LIFE LESSON to only use your free will to agree with what you want to agree, not what someone else, no matter if it is a doctor or any other person in a position of authority says. You are more powerful than you know.
Never doubt your ability to heal. Doubting is the arrow of self-sabotage.
I also personally know people who have REFUSED to go along with the cancer diagnosis given to them. Instead, they decided to eat better, rest better, exercise better, and do all those things that build up the body, like taking better vitamins.
I advise never again being motivated by fear in any way, shape, or form. Whatever issues you face, face them with dignity, strength, and unflinching optimism. Just know, you are MUCH STRONGER than you think you are.
I bless you all with Universal Love from Universal Light for your Universal Life.
There is a reason for the darkness in the world. It is the exact reason why Herod called for the slaughter of all two-year old boys and under, why past human justice systems could impale criminals to die on the stake, and why wars have occurred in every land since the beginning of time.
There is a reason for the multiple holocausts and ethnic cleansings across this one Earth we all share. Among the first of many is the Canaanite Holocaust and the more widely known Jewish Holocaust. Then there is the equally insidious holocaust known as the pan-African Holocaust. The word “Maafa” is also known as the African Holocaust. It seems many people are unaware of other holocausts unless it happens to them.
There is a reason why murders occur in every city in the world, and why every sinister thought, word, and action crosses the mind of all human beings when things do not go our way, especially if money is to be made, or power is to be lost.
The human mind always wants to blame the other guy, as if you and I are not responsible for the bad things that happen to us, our families, our countries, and the Earth itself. Isn’t it easier to point the finger at someone else rather than own our own stuff, man-up, if you will excuse the term (but you know what I mean), and make more mature and sounder, life-giving decisions?
When did each of us let ourselves off the hook when it comes to honesty, integrity, and being magnanimous of spirit?
We are all culpable. If we were not, we would not lie, cheat and steal so easily. It is not such a big slide to go from lesser offence to greater and greater ones. We can just take a look at police logs in our areas or do a personal and honest examination of our own consciences. Notice there are offenses on both sides of the register. Each one of us is guilty from time to time.
WHY?
Jiminy Cricket tells our children in the Walt Disney movie Pinocchio, to let their conscious be their guide. Even at a young age youth struggle with right and wrong, good and bad, a conscious decision is to be made that involves free will. This means each one of us has a choice.
Where does this inkling to darkness come from?
Take a moment to consider John 8:44 in the English Standard Version. What if Jesus actually meant what he said? “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Jesus also says this in the Second Revelation of James (brother of Jesus), “I tell you, listen and understand. For many when they hear, will be fainthearted, but you, understand in the way I can tell you. Your father is not my Father, but my Father has become a father to you.”
The Father of Jesus loved each one of us so much that Jesus was sent to us to show us the way, the way of Light and Love. In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God won’t be ushered in with visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘It has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country.’ For the Kingdom of God is within you.”
This is mentioned in numerous times in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, as well as in today’s modern Bibles. There is no conflict with the Light of the Soul which is inside all human beings.
However, whatever grows within us is that which we focus on. This is where free will comes in. We can choose to go to war, or we can choose to focus on peaceful solution, greed or generosity, lack or abundance.
When enough people focus on war, greed, and lack, we get the reality of the seeds we have sown.
The good news is, we also have the Light of the Father of Jesus Christ within us when we awaken to our own Christed selves as Jesus taught us, that the Kingdom of God is within us. Let us never forget that.
What have you learned in your life so far? Is your life repeating patterns?
Many of us know this life as a school. We all learn life’s lessons along the way. Christ told us that the Light of the Kingdom is WITHIN us. He also told us we would do the works he was doing. Are you manifesting miracles in your life? There are only two emotions by which we are motivated, either fear or love. Which do you choose?
Our life, our thoughts, our words, and our actions tell on us. They give us away, mirroring life back to us by the seeds we have sown. What plants have bloomed in your garden of life?
You have generated the things you see in your life, one way or the other. Still, you are not the victim of your life. Every single thing manifested in your life you brought in, or allowed in. Every day you have the chance to keep the reality that you have or change it. You are that powerful.
Life situations open up like buds of a flower. You get to decide what you will stand up for, what you will fertilize by your focus on what is important to you. In this life, you are in charge of you, no one else, no government, nor bullies at school, religion, or politics. You are in charge of you. If you do not like what is happening in your present condition, gather your integrity and personal power and change it.
Change can seem overwhelming. Many prefer the devil that they know as opposed to the devil that they don’t know. But that is a copout, a lazy man’s lobster, if you will.
Remember that it takes 21 days to change a habit. Expect that to be an uncomfortable experience. We can be such lovers of comfort that we can blow change up to be a monumental task, when in reality, it is merely a change of direction.
Some change is more than hard, almost inconceivable. Yet, without necessary change, in our decision-making process, we hand over our personal power to some other person, place, or thing. This would not be a decision of integrity. No one owns the rights to your life. You hold the rights to your own life.
Here are some points to consider:
Is your life repeating patterns?
Are you always getting sick?
Is dealing with money a constant struggle?
Are you always getting fired?
How are your relationships working out?
Do you see patterns forming in your habits?
It is said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.
If you are ready, willing, and able, decide to make a new start. Try something different. All is energy. Energy is dynamic. Energy is electro-magnetic. Energy is life giving.
Decide to stand up for yourself in a new way. Expect not everyone to agree with you. This is not a popularity contest. Many are used to your old habits. Friends and family are used to you thinking, speaking, and behaving in certain ways, in particular group-think-tank-mentality. If you start to be more positive, or more anything else other than your current modes of thoughts, words, and actions, expect to get feedback. Family and friends do not know what to do when you decide to step out of your comfort zone, because this also puts them in unfamiliar territory.
But your decision to grow mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually is not up to a political party, religious affiliation, nor family and friend habits to keep you towing the same line in the agendas of others.
Christ told us in John 3:3, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Many religions have hopped on that line to mean so many things others than what those words actually say.
When the apostles asked Christ who was with him on the mountain at the Transfiguration, asking if it was Moses and Elijah, he did not correct them saying there was no such thing. That would have been the perfect time for him to make that correction if it were not true.
In this life, if you do not learn the lessons you came here to learn in this school of life, then you have chosen by default to be reincarnated into another life to learn the same lessons. Not having perfected yourself, by choice, you commit yourself to another round of life until you do. The choice is ours.
We hope that after our lives well lived, that we can reunite with the Universal Life Energy that created us, since our souls do not die. Our souls are our Spark of Divine life WITHIN us, OUR OWN PERSONAL SILVER CORD OF LIFE, as Christ tried so hard to tell us in Luke 17:20-21.
Please begin by taking a deep breath, several of them, especially if you are Catholic or of Eastern Religion religious philosophy. There is nothing I am going to say here that goes against the meaning of the word, “transubstantiation,” as described by the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes the word, “transubstantiation” as: the miraculous change by which according to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox dogma the eucharistic elements at their consecration become the body and blood of Christ while keeping only the appearances of bread and wine.
An example was also cited, using the word “transubstantiation” in a sentence as: “Found in Catholic doctrine, transubstantiation is when the substance of bread is turned into the substance of the body of Christ during the eucharist.” — Marya E. Gates, Vulture, 10 Aug. 2021
The first known use of the word “transubstantiation” comes from the 14th century, as in the sentence: “When the Protestant reformers in the 16th century rejected the Catholic teaching that the bread and wine substantively became the body and blood of Jesus, Catholic Church leaders affirmed the teaching, called transubstantiation.” — New York Times, 26 June 2021
Why am I bothering to go through these understandings of the word transubstantiation?
The Catholic Church is not wrong in teaching that physical substance can be physically and spiritually transformed into something of a higher vibrational frequency through intention, thought, and the spoken word. It happens every day at morning Mass all over the world.
Physical bread and wine are transformed into spiritual food, as all believers agree. This is a perfect example of ordinary bread, or in this case unleavened bread if we’re being truly authentic to the ritual of Jesus at the Last Supper, transmuting, transforming, transubstantiating into the multi-dimensional qualities and properties of the Love and Light of Jesus, which is the same Love and Light of the Source of All Creation.
This is known to be a sacred moment, receiving the Eucharist believed by many to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But is it truly human flesh we are eating and human blood we are drinking?
This metanoia experience for each individual is a deeply spiritual and personal interaction with their sacred roots and beliefs. It is the consecration of everyday items, such as bread and wine, into something elevated to a sacred status that is the point here.
Consecration means to make or declare sacred,to devote irrevocably to the worship of God by a solemn ceremony, or by blessing with intention. Notice this all takes place starting with the intention to do so, by thoughts, words, and actions.
But it is not only the priest who has this role in life. It is not only the priest who believes this.
How literal did Jesus intend his words to be taken and understood?
What exactly are we to do in memory of Jesus?
Is it literally the reenactment of the Last Supper?
Is it only the priest who is to do the “Do this in memory of me?”
Are the congregations who believe in this way to be simply bystanders and recipients of the bread and wine multi-dimensionally transformed into spiritual food by only ordained special people?
Are there other words of Jesus that we are to do in his memory?
Did Jesus mean that literally we are to eat his physical flesh and drink his literal blood, or did he use a metaphor to illustrate the spiritual reality that the unleavened bread he used and the wine on the table of the Last Supper, were to be our spiritual food of Love without conditions, and the drink of non-judgment, lived out on purpose in each of our lives, or only those of the ordained special people?
In the breaking of the bread, did he mean for us to literally break the bread?
It’s about sharing, not hoarding. It’s about empathy and compassion, not justification of hardened hearts filled with human reasons and human logic of why we should not help the unfortunate among us, why we ought not to make fun of others, nor put men, women, and children in cages for political purposes.
“There, but for the grace of God, go I.“
On one hand we all know this to be true. On the other hand, we split hairs tripping the seeming paradoxes of Jesus meant “this,” or Jesus meant “that.” Look at the numerous brands of Christianity, and other myriad religions, for example.
Then there are conscientious people of integrity who choose not to follow in the footsteps of human religious institutions, preferring to follow in the footsteps of Jesus rather than man. These ones who do not fit the profile of a particular brand of religion often seek and find personal growth in spiritual development, as opposed to abdicating the God-given free will usurped by leaders of various religion organizations, no matter how well-meaning they may be, or slivers of truth they might have.
If transubstantiation transforms and transmutes bread and wine into the spiritual substance of Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit, then aren’t we all discussing non-human interaction? Since God is not terrestrial, then this transubstantiation is this a multi-dimensional transformation, is it not?
Religions may be as old as the sun, but the New Paradigm welcoming in multi-dimensional transformation IS EXACTLY what takes place on every Catholic altar every day since the Last Supper.
The Catholic Living Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, Wheaton, Illinois, sixth printing in 1965, quotes Jesus in Luke 17:20-21, “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘When will the Kingdom of God begin?’ Jesus replied, ‘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.” Jesus did not say you will find the Kingdom when some other religion tells you all about it, as if it is on the outside of you, or in some like-minded religion.
Yes, I know, many bibles over 2,000 years have gone back and forth, changing the original Sanskrit and Aramaic words to “among” rather than the original “within” you in this Luke 17:20-21 verse. But the most recent understand, including the most modern versions of the King James Bible, are now correcting the wording back to its original intention. Shall we go by the scribe’s manipulation of the word “within,” or shall we go with the actual word used by Jesus? The Interlinear Bible of Hebrew, Greek, English translations agrees that this word is “within.”
This means that the Kingdom of God is within you. It is also outside of you, because the Love and Light of the Source of All Creation is within the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms of Earth, as well as every other thing in the galaxy, universe and cosmos. However, it is not only in religious men of the day pontificating their religious viewpoint.
The Light and Love of God is within each one of us, animating us. When this Energy known as the Presence of God calls Itself back to Itself, we drop our body as a change of garment for our Soul, until the next round of incarnation, unless we finally got the Loving and forgiving right this time, and we ascend just as Jesus taught us to do.
Organized religions, while they may contain partial truths within their teachings, they also seek to subjugate their congregations, robbing them of their personal power and free will. They manipulate with humanmade threats of eternal damnation; hell, fire, and brimstone. We are born with God-given free will. No one has the right to usurp our free will from us by introducing fear, guilt, or obligation. Some human religious and political groups seek to rob us of the God-given free will with which we are all born, regardless of where we live on Earth. We only need to look at the Crusades, the ethnic cleansing, and the holocausts to see how humankind manipulates the minds of many.
Did I say holocausts, as if there were more than one? Well, among other ethnic cleansings of those who did not believe in the “right” way, we do not see many Canaanites around these days, right?
In The New Living Translation Bible, 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?”
Transubstantiation deals with recognizing that what is done on every Catholic altar in the world every day, is the same Loving Light Multi-Dimensional Transformation we allow ourselves to manifest each and every day by our own intentions, thoughts, words, and actions.
I encourage everyone not to get stuck in semantics, taking sides as if this matter is all separate, assorted into the categories of human understanding. There is more at stake. Our spiritual evolution, elevating the awareness of who and what we actually are, all of us, not just some of us within the box of certain segments of religious or other understanding; all of us are on this journey of enlightenment, culminating eventually in ascension.
While all our paths may be different, we all have the only hands God has to experience in and through us. The beautiful soul of the late Bishop George Rueger told me this in spiritual direction years ago when I ask him what more I could do to better serve God. I was married with five children, teaching CCD, and holding bible studies in my house for adults. We serve God best by living our ordinary lives with an eye towards transforming, transmuting, and yes, transubstantiating our everyday moments into the sacred realities they truly are. We do this by recognizing when the answer to today’s issues is brought to life through empathy and compassion for all, not just for the self or particular group within humanity.
We will all experience the seeds we and others before us have planted. Some of us will experience limitation and darkness. Others of us may learn how to draw upon transubstantiating the vibrations of limitations and darkness into the Living, Pulsating Light of the Source of All through our intentions and thoughts, just as consecrating the bread and wine is multi-dimensionally transformed by intentions and thoughts of the priest into the substance of Living, Pulsating Love without conditions and Living non-Judgment takes place every day in every Mass in the entire world.
We are all looking at the same beautiful, multi-faceted, multi-dimensional transformation/transubstantiation diamond, radiating its blessing and knowledge to everyone who wishes to dig deeper into all the words and actions of Jesus the Christ.
Spoken words matter. Thoughts matter. Energy matters. Simply cutting and releasing negative energy out of you and out of your negative situation and/or environment multiplies what you do not want in your life and in the world. DISSOLVE and REPLACE negative and harmful thoughts, words, and actions with positive kindness, love, and light-filled alternatives.
We are all the creators of our realities. The world is the way it is because we chose to make it the way it is.
You don’t agree?
What do you think about? How much time do you spend countering what you do not want? How much time do you spend taking in the negative news of the day, dwelling on its unrighteousness? How much time do you spend discussing the maladies of the day with friends and neighbors?
That only magnifies what you do not want, unless of course, this is what you do want.
Dr. Emoto proved this point by photographing water frozen after harsh music, words, attitudes compared to water frozen after beautifully inspired and harmonious music, and loving words and attitudes.
You matter. What you think about matters. What you talk about matters. What you listen to matters. What you focus on matters. It not only matters, it becomes reality. That’s how manifesting reality works. That’s how you get your next job, or whatever else is on your to-do-list. It all begins with a thought.
Yes, you already know all these things, yet how often do we metaphorically shoot ourselves in the foot, bringing on the very things in our relationships, our finances, and in politics by focusing on the opposite of what we do want.
Let us all take a mental step back to reassess how to better manifest the good we all wish to have rather than stirring the pot of dysfunction.
Every person in every country on this precious Earth is responsible for the conditions in which they are living, personally, socially, economically, politically, educationally, and in every other possible division in which we find ourselves.
The blame game is the irresponsible and lazy way out of any dysfunctional life, system of operation, and/or apparent hierarchy. Usurping the rights of others has been used since the dawn of humanity by those seeking to rule over others. If humanity allows this dominance, it reaps the conditions it finds itself in. If humanity seeks out more positive solutions and alternatives, humanity can rise to the occasion, changing the course of history for the better as opposed to the worse.
By blaming others for the way things are, no one has to do anything about it, because placing onus on the other guy stops all possibility of healing anything. Situations stalemate in the blame game because there is more than enough blame to go around. Finger pointing, obstruction to solutions that are not your own, solves nothing. Discovering the plausible opposite that is wrong will never solve any problem. Every situation has a plausible opposite. Since what you focus on grows, focusing on the plausible opposite shuts down any and all solutions.
If finding out whose fault something is does not solve the problem, what does? Who care why? It is what happens next that matters.
Every person is responsible for their own thoughts, words, and actions, in every country in the world, regardless where you live, regardless which religion is professed, regardless which political party, or social group or club people belong to.
Do you live in a Democracy? Then you are responsible to keep it. Shine a light on the actual truth as opposed to half-truths spun for self-serving agendas. The half-truth is the worse kind of lie, since forethought and deception are at the base of all half-truths meant to confuse the opposition, as if life was simply a sport to win or lose. It is possible to get to the bottom of truth. It requires looking at all the information, not only one side of the situation, and not only one viewpoint from like-minded individuals.
Do you live under tyrannical rule? Then you are responsible for your own thoughts, words, and actions that allow it, or change it for the betterment of the human condition. Not working to inspire, uplift, and encourage freedom of thoughts, words, and actions in any country can keep humanity captured by the self-delusion that their thoughts, words, and actions are powerless. Every person in every country on Earth is born with free will, the freedom to live a human life and freedom to think their own thoughts. Life is not a popularity contest, a club of like-thinkers, nor a bandwagon to jump on. It matters more than that.
You matter. Every person matters. Your thoughts matter. Your words matter. Your actions matter.
All humanity matters AND ARE EQUAL, black, white, and every other color of human being. All nationalities of human beings matter AND ARE EQUAL in the value of human life. All humanity matters, all genders, all ages, and in every other division thought that could make people different from one another.
The success of humanity as living beings on Earth is not what makes us all different, but what we all share as the common experience; we are all alive. We all have Universal Life Force, which some call a soul, animating our flesh. This life force, human chi, otherwise called soul, is animating the human flesh with Universal Life Force Energy. There is also the soul of every country.
No country, political group, educational nor financial institution claims any rights to Universal Life Energy. Keep in mind, the first law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created not destroyed, only changed.
We are all responsible for how we use, channel, and operate with Universal Life Force Energy. When we work together for the common good of all, we will turn the corner for balancing and harmonizing humanity for our future common human race. All is One.
Let There Be Peace On Earth, and let it begin with me.
You are a microcosm of the cosmos. You are made of the stuff of the stars. You are amazing.
It is truly amazing to ponder who you are and where you come from. There has never been another you in millions of years and beyond. It is no accident that you are here in the planet at this moment in history. You are born of light. You can choose to work with the light with which you were born in this lifetime. Doing so raises your conscious awareness and earthly vibration. There is more to you than you know.
The essence of you, your soul, and your spirit, before you evolved enough to take on a physical body, has experimented in manifesting all forms of life. All is One. You’ve been at this a long, long time. When people tell you that you are an old soul, that is because you are.
Focusing on the density of matter in the 3-D plane of existence limits the reality of you, who is truly a limitless being. Your soul is eternal. Remember, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed. Some of us are working in the 4-D and 5-D realities and beyond, causing conflict from time-to-time with those who have no idea what is being discussed here, since they only focus on thoughts, words, and actions that are 3-D, third dimensional realities, a tactile existence. Third dimensional people have no concept that energy also flows into the non-physical states of being, such as ideas, hopes, dreams, manifestation, feelings, emotions, and the like.
Life is what you make it. If you do not like your life, or some aspect of your life, you can change it. You are not a victim unless you choose to be. Also remember Karma plays a part. You will reap what you sow, if not in this lifetime, then you will in future lifetimes. This explains the unexplainable happenings in your life. You can fight with everything in your life, leaving you feeling exhausted and/or depressed; or you can do something positive to transform your life in the direction you wish to go.
Realizing you are made up of courage, tenacity, love, and endurance helps to raise your sights when things get tough. Life is a school of learning. It is not all roses and laughter. We tend not to learn the most during the easy times of our life. Rather, it is through strife and struggle that we find a way, improve our lot, and achieve success. The most determined of us do not quit when the going gets tough. That is the sign to dig in and do more or decide to change the course of action.
Focus on your light, love, and liberty with which you were born. You were born with God-given free will, regardless of in which country on earth you were born. This can be done with peaceful purpose, integrity, gentleness, and kindness. What you focus on grows. That is how the light works. Your thoughts are what illuminates your words, further illuminating your actions.
Choose to be a person of the light, love, and liberty, being a beacon of hope for all humankind. There is still more to know.
I AM A STREAM OF LIVING LIGHT ENERGY FROM THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL ENERGY.
Whatever words follow the statement “I AM …” are directions energy follows to create reality. It does not matter if in the present moment the opposite appears to be true. Notice I said “appears” to be true. Every individual is the master of their own life, their own moods and feelings, and their own decisions. I AM statements are the path to follow to affirm when you are right on course with your life, or if change is more advisable. Use time to your benefit. Things do not manifest overnight, although sometimes they do.
Feelings are the power behind I AM statements. When powered by feelings, I AM statements manifest in combination with strong desire, planning, arranging the possibilities, acknowledging when change needs to happen, and using adaptability and flexibility.
Have you ever called in sick to work, telling the boss, “I AM sick, when you are not?” That is simply a direct line to getting sick.
Do you need to be successful at work? Then your mantra each and every day, several times a day, ought to be “I AM successful.” Add the direction you wish to go at the end of the I AM statement. It is important to think in ways that makes your success possible. Be pro-active. Do not wait one more moment. See it happening in your minds’ eye. Have hope, drive, and initiative.
I AM statements need positive desires for positive outcomes. Pay attention to your moods. Whether you realize it or not, you choose your moods, they do not choose you. You can change them anytime you want to. The question is, do you want to? That is another matter altogether.
It is not possible to get a positive outcome when negative thoughts, words, and actions are what your past behaviors fed upon. Change is possible. Begin, or begin again with I AM statements.
Individuals, governments, and all other groups of people can benefit from applying the Universal Law of Universal Order of I AM statements. This is cause and effect unfolding before your eyes.
Do you need a career change? Plan for your future. Take a course. Try something new. Meet new people. Inform others of the direction you wish to go. Work with what is possible and watch for the open doors. If you are not looking, you might miss them.
This is something I learned at the DoveStar Institute of Holistic Health and Technology, the metaphysical school I attended 23 years ago. It is how I help to start a brand new newspaper, which was up against an intrenched daily newspaper, by selling ads and writing feature articles. Today this newspaper, The Laconia Daily Sun, is still in operation. The other newspaper is now out of business. Using I AM statements is also how I started my own business, The Massage Clinic, an hour outside New York City. There were 15 existing similar successful businesses in the area. But I only saw positive paths forward and helped 8,000 people by appointments in eight years.
The power of positive thinking works. Never give up. You’ve got this.
Spreading gossip about others harms reputations, diminishing others as a way of building up offender’s egos.
What do you talk about? There are a wide variety of topics to discuss. There is drama to portray. It is good to pause for a moment and reflect on the use of words. Words once said cannot be taken back. We can wish we did not say certain things. We can make amends for hurtful words said. But we cannot take back the words we wish we did not say.
Do we use words to build up, or tear down? There are many times we find ourselves in lulls at home, at work, or with friends. We have many opportunities to affirm the goodness in life. When we are with our friends, what are the topics we choose to discuss? Do we talk about our family members to our friends? Do we talk about our friends with our family members? Discussing the lives of others can be uplifting if we are talking in a positive way of the good things others have thought, said, or done. The harm to reputations only comes in if we talk about things in a negative or condescending way behind the backs of the others we are talking about. Before we talk about others in any way, we might try to remember not to say anything we would not say in their presence.
How much time do you spend talking about others? It can be easy to slide down the slippery slope of gossip once in a while. Yet once a foundation of gossip has been laid down in any group, there can be a tendency to jump to conclusions, or character assassinate those being talked about. It takes a long time to build up our good reputations. It takes no time at all to destroy another’s reputation. We ought to take care of the reputations we juggle in our mouths.
Businessman and businesswoman walking and sharing office rumors, which is spreading gossip.
Who do you talk about? Sometimes the people in our lives can seem to be easy targets of our unkind words. Unless we are talking with our counselor, we might want to filter our conversations through our empathetic and compassionate souls. It is a destructive and devastating habit to get into to complain about those around you in a warped attempt to build up the self.
With whom do you talk about others? Coworkers, gym buddies, clubs, and family and friend circles are among the endless groups of people we can rob the reputations of others without their knowing. We have no right to tarnish the reputation of others, just as others have no right to tarnish our reputation.
Women are not the only ones who gossip.
Do you talk about the people you have talked to about others, after you leave them? Everyone should be forewarned. If you ever experience spending time with anyone who gossips about others, be well-warned that as soon as you leave, you will be the next one on the gossip chop block. You might think you will fair well, but not everyone may agree.
How common is gossiping about others in your daily life? Not everyone gossips, especially if you have been a victim of cyber, business, social, or personal gossip. It is not necessary to experience the embarrassing and often crippling effects of gossip first-hand in order to recognize the need to stop the gossip stream. Gossip can be addicting. It takes strength of character to stand up in defense of integrity and honor of the reputations of others. Assault on the dignity of others ought to be beneath all of us.
History is one of the best tells on human behavior. History repeats itself when we do not pay attention. History matters.

Our thoughts, words and actions have consequences.
Denial, lies, and conspiracies can never stand in the light of truth. Truth is the only saving power in the face of malevolent forces with self-serving and greedy agendas. Thank God for those who see and stand up for truth in the midst of unpopular opinions seeded by denial, lies, and conspiracies. Hopefully honesty and integrity are stronger motivating forces than self-dealing and killing our democracy for which was so hard fought. May others not cave to the embarrassment of realizing they have been lied to, and recognize truth over fiction and delusion.
Democracy matters. It is possible to lose our precious democracy. It is beginning to happen from within. We need to make better choices if we do not which to repeat the sins of the past.
It starts by twisting the truth, ignoring the truth, and trampling on the truth, all of which erode democracy.
You matter. Each one of us matters. This is not a sports team where we pick a side and stick with it no matter if they win or lose. What if people started saying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes played much better than Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, and therefore the Chiefs won the 2021 Super Bowl last week? It would be a lie, as much as Kansas City wishes it were not. But to say the Buccaneers won over the Chiefs would be a denial of the facts, much the same with the 2020 Presidential Election being stolen. It simply did not happen. Truth matters.
It is good to remind ourselves that we can back the wrong side of democracy through ignorance, while listening to the lies many promote. How do we tell if we are on the right side of the law? Some say they stand for law and order, but law and order is not the same thing as treason, sedition, coup, terrorism, nor fascism.
Close-up shot of the Liberty Bell with Independence Hall in the background at dusk. Located in downtown Philadelphia, this monument to liberty continues to draw crowds on a daily basis.
Liberty matters. We stand for liberty of all people, not just white people. Unless you were born as an American Indian, we are all descendants of imigrants.
Trying to suppress the vote of anyone for any reason is not democratic. All votes count, even if they are from black and brown people, students, the elderly, and women. Only wanting votes of white men to count is a white supremist agenda. Claims of voter fraud are attempts to thwart the fact that every vote counts, even mail in votes, which our military and many politicans use.
Voting is also not about red states and blue states. There are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in all states. By the way, Jesus was not a Republican, nor a Democrat, as you well know. He taught the Golden Rule, but he also kicked the money changers out of the Temple.
Each one of us matters. We are more alike than the differences we profess.
The Genome Project, a scientific study done by National Geographic in New York City, using DNA from saliva, shows that all humans come from two individuals, Scientific Adam and Scientific Eve. We are all one, no matter where we migrated to after that. To say you are prejudiced against anyone because of their ethnic background, or skin color, is to say you are prejudiced against your very own ancestors.

It is up to you and me to stand tall for democracy. Pray for your country. Check out the news stations and the reasons why people are saying that President Joe Biden won in a free and fair election. Allow yourself to hear something other than the lies from those who possibly have told them to you. People make mistakes. There is a reason so many people have believed in the lies and conspiracies as if they were real news. Do not stand with the haters. If you are surrounded by people who hate as the glue that holds them together, find a new group of people, based on love.
Learn the truth. Stand for truth. Truth Matters. Democracy Matters.
If you remove all the Jews, Arabs, and immigrants from this picture, there would be no people.
Whether it is harmony or disharmony, nothing can enter your or my world unless we invite it in. What we focus on grows. We have a choice. We are not single-subject vehicles of life. Rather we are multifaceted individuals radiating the energy of our feelings spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, physically, politically, socially, financially and in many other ways into our world. We are whole. We are One.
There will always be chaos, dysfunction, and lack of peace in this world. This has been the case since its first inception eons ago, echoing out into the ethers and astral realm. Volcanoes belched out destructive lava. Cataclysmic floods ripped apart the earth until its new land masses were unrecognizable, continuing to this day reshaping coastlines everywhere.
Even in when Jesus was born, Herod sought to kill him. As a result Joseph and Mary had to flee to Egypt with Jesus, making them immigrants in an unfamiliar land so he would not be slaughtered along with the rest of the infant boys, age two and under. They were not put in cages. They were met with hospitality for years in their home away from home before it was safe to return. Still, they decided to settle in Nazareth so as not to bring too much attention to Jesus as he grew.
All of us are no different. People of every race, ethnicity, culture, color, creed, gender, and age are all part of the human race. We are all part of nature. We can be volatile. We can be peaceful. It is what we focus our attention on that makes the difference. I can choose to be part of the problem or the solution.
Somehow we expect perfection in our lives and in our countries as if we just think, speak, and do the right things, we could railroad things through. Nothing could be further from the truth. We cannot manhandle, manipulate, guilt or force others into our sense of perfection with the crack of a whip. That’s not how energy works.
What drum are You beating?
We look at the political scene and try to manipulate outcomes by concentrating on what is wrong in order to make it right. What we focus on grows. Concentrating on what is wrong is the wrong basis to build what is right, useful, and sustaining.
We look at spirituality and religions and see what is wrong in the hopes of making them right. Again we miss the mark we so desperately seek to achieve. We erroneously think, “If only people would think, say, and do the same as me then it would all work out.” This also is not so.
Why?
Notice nothing happens when any thought crosses our mind. It is only when the feeling behind the thought grows that it motivates us into action. It is the feeling that is the impetus to change.
What?
Isn’t it my brain, common sense, my thoughts that generate my world, experiences, beliefs into action?
No.
Nothing happens with any thought until the feeling of any subject inspires us into action. Without feeling, we ponder and ponder possibilities. Our thoughts will go round and round the merry-go-rounds of our minds until we decide, inspired by our feelings, to do something about the matter.
Guard your feelings with the shield of awakened consciousness. Feelings ignite all your thoughts into actions. Take the care of a gymnast training for the Olympics, or the runner training for a marathon the same as you prepare your future actions by the life-giving spark of your feelings. How many of us have regrets over our actions when we fuel the renegade feelings we choose not to control?
By the use of our free will, we decide which feelings to follow up on and which would be better not responded to. Decide never again to respond to anything. Instead, consciously decide how you will act, with empathy and compassion or not, with judgment or non-judgment, etc. It is in this conscious decision that we build up or tear down. Nothing can enter your world unless you invite it in.
Feelings are not right or wrong, they just are. However, if you do not like how you are feeling, change how you are thinking. They go hand in hand. Just realize that the power to do anything comes from the feeling, not the thinking. Just like feelings, you can change your thoughts. You are in the driver’s seat of you.
You are not the victim of neither your thoughts nor your feelings. You are in control of them. They are not in control of you. People who play the role of the victim of their lives simply have not yet learned this healing and life-generating principle.
The solution is so simple, yet our misguided feelings distract us to the point of bringing on our own dysfunction, personally, spiritually, politically, financially, socially, as well as nationwide and worldwide. It is when we lack self-control over our feelings that we decide to focus on where we do not want to go rather than the choice to foster and fertilize the ground where we do want to walk.
If only we would use our free will to focus on the good we see as opposed to the bad that captures our attention. Pour your feelings into positive thoughts, energizing them with the personal power to do good.
Pouring your feelings into negative thoughts that harm others physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, politically, or financially is the biggest recipe for failure. It is self-sabotage in the highest degree. It is a recipe for disaster. It is only a matter of time before the misdirected energy is met by its equal and opposite force.
Try this instead; transform your world, your personal space, your belief system, your neighborhood, your church, your work environment, your social circles, your political and financial aspirations with life-affirming, soul-inspiring goals.
Change your focus from countering the negativity and failure of broken systems to promoting healthy equality, fairness, kindness, loving and peaceful actions. In this way, you begin taking steps forward, healing your own lives and the lives of all around you. From now on, pay no attention to what you do not want to grow.
This works in all areas of life, especially at this time of the COVID-19, Sars Co2 epidemic blanketing the world. The energy of closing your eyes and focusing your feelings on denying the reality of the death and destruction of life at this moment in history will only grow more of the same if that is your focus.
Once your feelings motivate you to whole and healthy aspirations and problem-solving remedies, you will find a quicker advancement into solutions to COVID-19 and every other problem that benefits you personally, as well as in your family, neighborhood, country and world.
Yes, others with dark, self-serving and greedy agendas will continue. It has been this way since the beginning of time on this planet. Tsunamis and worldwide cataclysms will continue to manifest as they always have. Still focus on solutions over problems.
Using your free will to fuel feelings of rage and discord will ultimately sabotage every endeavor. It is only a matter of time before that house of cards crumbles. It always has and always will.
As a counselor, I never advised punching that pillow to get all the anger out, because fueling those negative feelings only fuels more hate. Yes, you will be exhausted afterwards, but you will have wasted a great amount of time not moving forward. That is only a diversionary tactic.
You cannot move forward by looking backwards. If you have been in counseling for years, you are with the wrong counselor. When you are finally ready to heal, (sometimes we are not ready, willing, nor able to heal), then and only then will you see the truth to what I am stating here.
We need to be in balance with every aspect of our human being, not only spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, physically, politically, socially, financially and in many other ways in our world. As a fully formed human, we all need to be in balance and foster good over evil. We reap the seeds we sow in this world.
If we do not like what we are seeing and hearing around us, it is up to you and me to plant everlasting seeds of love, light, peace, joy, happiness, health, faith, equality, forgiveness, empathy and understanding just as Jesus did when he walked this earth beginning so many Christmases ago.

I happen to be a mother whose first child, a daughter, stopped speaking with her over 20 years ago. Obviously I do not have all the answers on solving this situation. But I have studied healing relationships for most of my adult life as a holistic health counselor, and have helped many others on their journeys to healthy relationships after falling into some common pitfalls. An open heart and willingness to heal is the missing ingredient in all cases.
I have found the key to healing begins with both parties, in this case mothers and daughters, wanting to heal. Here are some of the pitfalls to watch out for that will sink any relationship like quicksand if they are not addressed.
Most of us know when we are being manipulated by others using the all familiar tactics of fear, obligation and guilt (aka FOG). But at other times, we can be entangled in the web of other people’s preconceived control-freak game before we are consciously aware it is taking place. This is when others will set up or spin situations to their benefit, much to the infringement of our own free will and immediate knowledge. This is bullying. This is abuse.
1. What is the tell tale sign this is happening to us? 2. How do we make it stop? 3. How do we get control of our life back without threats by others?
If you are being bullied, tell someone. Seek counseling. If you are being abused, tell someone. Seek counseling.
Has anyone ever said to you, “You need to do this, that or the other thing, or else I won’t speak to you anymore,’ or, ‘If you speak to that person, I will never talk to you again,’ or, ‘Stop it, or else I won’t love you, speak to you, or have you in my life anymore.’?” If so, AND YOU GO ALONG WITH IT, you have been or are being manipulated.
Sadly, this is even used as a weapon in divorces. If you go along with the manipulator’s whims, you will only be able to speak with or associate with only the people manipulators say can be in your life, or any other conditions they wish to control. Sometimes the manipulation abuser uses other threats, but there is always a threat involving the relationship you and the abuser share. It’s a control-freak game.
Manipulation and guilt are forms of psychological and emotional abuse. Once it is recognized by the victim, health only returns to the person who has been bullied by manipulation tactics when the situation is addressed. It requires a one-on-one communication with the manipulator, no middle man or referee. Once anyone has stepped between the manipulator and the person being manipulated, no healing can take place until or if the manipulator and the person being manipulated address the situation personally.
Once the manipulation abuser becomes aware that they themselves were often first manipulated by this bullying technique, their mental state can only become healthy when they recognize how manipulation first restricted them, and fully acknowledge that fact. It is quite an eye opener.
At first it is a hard pill to swallow because manipulation abusers want to justify in their past actions. It hurts when the manipulator first comes to the realization that they themselves were first victims of the bullying, manipulating game by those they loved, or included in their lives through work, social and all other human interaction circles.
Families, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and other family relations, work relations, and all other human interactions have been split up by these hurtful words lasting a lifetime. Sometimes it is over a one-way situation, leaving one person in the two-step manipulation dance of avoidance totally in the dark. For non-family manipulation and bullying situations, we simply walk away. But when it comes to family, it is good to know that these situations can heal if both sides care to work on it.
Manipulating in order to get ones way is a childish act, something two-years-old children discover to be very effective. In the maturing process, sometimes we forget to be better people.
Once someone has been the victim earlier in their life in the manipulation game, they have also learned how to be manipulators themselves, continuing the control-freak downward spiral. If they are smart, and many are, and recognize that they do not want to pass on the terrible bullying and manipulation tendencies to continue the victimization cycle, they stop, seek restitution to the relationship, opening the door to forgiveness. This takes inner fortitude. It can be difficult, but it is not impossible.
The victimization cycle can be broken. People can emotionally and psychologically grow up. But it requires brutal honesty with ones self. It also requires a forgiving heart, not just for those we have victimized, but also for the manipulator her/himself. We can be the world’s worst critics of ourselves. We need to learn how to forgive ourselves so we can then forgive those we have hurt by our own thoughts, words and actions. Healing is possible.
Sometimes it is harder for those of us who were or still are victims to forgive their emotional and psychological manipulation and bullying transgressors. But this also can happen, even if the manipulation abuser and bully has deceased. It is the forgiving intention and action that heals the heart.
Most often these situations brew over time. It is less rare that they just pop up over night. It happens in families. It happens in work, social, religious, educational, financial, governments and all human interaction circles. Manipulation caused by intentional fear is at the root of the guilt and obligation we feel.
Sometimes the manipulator succeeds in twisting the truth so much that we are led to assume that we are the ones who are at fault and need to get the blame for the broken relationship. At other times innocent characters get slandered when truth twisting gets neatly spun into a web of convenient lies, as if manipulating and bullying aren’t devious enough.
This is part of the intended victimization process. But once light dawns and we see things clearly for what is actually taking place, we can take a deep breath and begin to do what we can to heal the situation when such opportunities arise. If the possibility for healing does not present itself, WE DO NOT STAY IN THE VICTIM ROLE. We do what we can and move on and live our lives peacefully with faith, hope and love. Those are the only answers.
If emotional and psychological healing is what we want for both sides, then we should first pray. Prayer cannot be underrated, and is the only thing that can work when all else fails.
Healing involves a decision. To move past unbelievable hurt in broken relationships, we need to be ready for reconciliation when it becomes possible and desired, if ever it happens, even when we think this opportunity might never present itself.
This post is addressing emotional abuse, not physical abuse, which include other guidelines and counsel.
It is never too late to mend a broken relationship while people are still alive.
Preston Ni, a professor, presenter, private coach and author of Communication Success With Four Personality Types and How To Communicate Effectively And Handle Difficult People, authored the article in Psychology Today entitled, 14 Signs Of Psychological And Emotional Manipulation. His 14 signs of psychological and emotional manipulation are listed below.
Relationships can be confusing. To help clarify what we are going through and to decide the best way to proceed to a healthier state, it is good to look at the 14 Signs Of Psychological And Emotional Manipulation. It will help to recognize manipulative signs in order to put a stop to them, either by us being the manipulator or by us being the abused victim of the manipulator.
“Psychological manipulation can be defined as the exercise of undue influence through mental distortion and emotional exploitation, with the intention to seize power, control, benefits and/or privileges at the victim’s expense.
“It is important to distinguish healthy social influence from psychological manipulation. Healthy social influence occurs between most people, and is part of the give and take of constructive relationships. In psychological manipulation, one person is used for the benefit of another. The manipulator deliberately creates an imbalance of power, and exploits the victim to serve his or her agenda,” Ni says.
Ni lists 14 tell-tail signs to watch out for:
1. A manipulative individual may insist on you meeting and interacting in a physical space where he or she can exercise more dominance and control. This can be the manipulator’s office, home, car, or other spaces where he feels ownership and familiarity (and where you lack them).
2. Many sales people do this when they prospect you. By asking you general and probing questions, they establish a baseline about your thinking and behavior, from which they can then evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. This type of questioning with hidden agenda can also occur at the workplace or in personal relationships.
3. Manipulation of facts is another sign to watch out for. Examples of this include: lying, excuse making, being two faced, blaming the victim for causing their own victimization, deformation of the truth, strategic disclosure or withholding of key information, exaggeration, understatement, and have a one-sided bias of issue.
4. Some individuals enjoy “intellectual bullying” by presuming to be the expert and most knowledgeable in certain areas. They take advantage of you by imposing alleged facts, statistics, and other data you may know little about. This can happen in sales and financial situations, in professional discussions and negotiations, as well as in social and relational arguments. By presuming expert power over you, the manipulator hopes to push through her or his agenda more convincingly. Some people use this technique for no other reason than to feel a sense of intellectual superiority.
5. Certain people use bureaucracy – paperwork, procedures, laws and by-laws, committees, and other roadblocks to maintain their position and power, while making your life more difficult. This technique can also be used to delay fact finding and truth seeking, hide flaws and weaknesses, and evade scrutiny.
6. Some individuals raise their voice during discussions as a form of aggressive manipulation. The assumption may be that if they project their voice loudly enough, or display negative emotions, you’ll submit to their coercion and give them what they want. The aggressive voice is frequently combined with strong body language such as standing or excited gestures to increase impact.
7. Some people use negative surprises to put you off balance and gain a psychological advantage. This can range from low balling in a negotiation situation, to a sudden profession that she or he will not be able to come through and deliver in some way. Typically, the unexpected negative information comes without warning, so you have little time to prepare and counter their move. The manipulator may ask for additional concessions from you in order to continue working with you.
8. This is a common sales and negotiation tactic, where the manipulator puts pressure on you to make a decision before you’re ready. By applying tension and control onto you, it is hoped that you will “crack” and give in to the aggressor’s demands.
9. Some manipulators like to make critical remarks, often disguised as humor or sarcasm, to make you seem inferior and less secure. Examples can include any variety of comments ranging from your appearance, to your older model smart phone, to your background and credentials, to the fact that you walked in two minutes late and out of breath. By making you look bad, and getting you to feel bad, the aggressor hopes to impose psychological superiority over you.
10. Distinct from the previous behavior where negative humor is used as a cover, here the manipulator outright picks on you. By constantly marginalizing, ridiculing, and dismissing you, she or he keeps you off-balance and maintains her superiority. The aggressor deliberately fosters the impression that there’s always something wrong with you, and that no matter how hard you try, you are inadequate and will never be good enough. Significantly, the manipulator focuses on the negative without providing genuine and constructive solutions, or offering meaningful ways to help.
11. By deliberately not responding to your reasonable calls, text messages, emails, or other inquiries, the manipulator presumes power by making you wait, and intends to place doubt and uncertainty in your mind. The silent treatment is a head game where silence is used as a form of leverage.
12. Pretending ignorance is the classic “playing dumb” tactic. By pretending, she or he doesn’t understand what you want, or what you want her to do. The manipulation/passive aggressive person makes you take on what is her responsibility, and gets you to break a sweat. Some children use this tactic in order to delay, stall, and manipulate adults into doing for them what they don’t want to do. Some grownups use this tactic as well when they have something to hide, or obligation they wish to avoid.
13. Guilt baiting and unreasonable blaming is used, targeting the recipient’s soft spot, holding another responsible for the manipulator’s happiness and success, or unhappiness and failure.
14. Examples of victimhood include exaggerated or imagined personal issues, exaggerated or imagined health issues, dependency, co-dependency, deliberate frailty to elicit sympathy and favor, playing weak, powerless or pretending to be a martyr. The purpose of manipulative victimhood is often to exploit the recipient’s good will, guilty conscience, sense of duty, obligation, or protective and nurturing instinct, in order to extract unreasonable benefits and concessions.
Yes, we have a right to our feelings. Feelings are not right or wrong, they just are. But it is also true that whatever we focus on grows. So, if we focus on how hurt we are and how justified we are at being hurt, poor us, then no healing is possible when we cling to the division that separates us. This is a decision we consciously make.
It is just as possible to reach out and consciously make the decision to heal broken relationships, no matter what has happened. Forgiveness is humanly possible, no matter what our insane, puffed-up ego says. The ego wants to be right, but our mental and psychological health needs the healing of the relationship(s) in order to be whole.
We can mature beyond past hurts. This is part of human character development. To remain in unforgiveness, one way or the other, is to remain in a child-like state mentally and psychologically. No one says we have to mature, but what a sad state of affairs it is for adults to remain as children.
We may all see ourselves in one role or another as we look back on our lives. Growth in character and psychological and emotional development is always possible. We can always choose to be better people.
Let us take this opportunity of the Christmas Season, one of new hope, new love, new forgiveness of our shortcomings, to reach out to one another, and heal what is broken.
“Where your attention rests, there flows your life.” Ascended Master Light, Saint Germain Press
Whether its relationships, elections or anything else in life, whatever you focus on grows. There is energy to your thoughts. Now is the time to switch focus to healing our lives and our nation by building up rather than tearing down.
What do you wish to heal?
The radiance of love is all encompassing, turning dark to light, unrest to rest, and division into unity. It can happen in the blink of an eye. There is no need to dwell on what is not serving you, destroying your peace and joy, and upsetting your days.
You are not the victim of your moods. Your moods are the victim of your own thoughts. That is the supreme self-sabotage. Your thoughts do not choose you. You choose our thoughts each and every time.
Lesser mortals will try to place blame on another person, place or thing, but the reality is that when you finally decide you are sick and tired of any person, place or thing, you decide to do something else, put on different music to lift the spirits, or change your activity to something more productive. Until you decide to do that, you immobilize yourself. It is always your choice.
We are all the creators of our own realities. There are no victims here. Maturity helps us to realize that the light of our life is God in action within us. We can always choose better and do better. When we make mistakes as all humans do, we acknowledge it, forgiving ourselves and others, and move on.
Narcissists and egomaniacs have a hard time with these points because they do not comprehend how every dysfunctional thing around them is not the fault of others, or could possibly be their own fault, since to their warped and sick thinking, they are perfect in every way.
How do we move on when things turn out not as we had planned or invested our precious time and money in?
Staying stuck solves nothing. Having adult temper tantrums and blustering negative thoughts, words and actions into the stratosphere, only serve to embarrass the immature child inside the adult body. But all hope is not lost.
Instead, manifest the radiance of love, honor and integrity in your life. No matter where you are in this world, and upon which man-made version of self-important caste-class-ruler system you go by, you can decide to think, speak and act with more love, honor and integrity today than you did yesterday.
You improve on thoughts, words and actions of honor and integrity by ending the sabotage of yourself and others. Change is the inevitable part of life. Things never stay the same. That would be stagnation.
Shine your light on truth. Allow more knowledge in. Do your own research as opposed to spouting the group think-tank propaganda. Question any and everything that limits the God-given freedom with which you were born, religiously, politically, spiritually and physically.
Do the honorable things. Walk in integrity. When you do this, you become a blessing of light and love to this earth. We all need more of that.
Never address “spin,” the alternate reality of lies, as if it is truth. Notice how, in order to make people swallow “spin-tales,” people become louder and belligerent, with insults abounding. Do not respond in similar fashion. Rather, shine a light on truth, provable facts, calmly and intelligently.
When emotions rise like the crest of a wave, swelling with the intensity of the hurricane-force winds, fear grabs hold. That is the intended response “spin” and hysteria seeks. It is so unfortunate that the arrogant public who pontificate the fiction they tout are exactly the ones who will be hurt by the ignorant words they proclaim. These ones are being used as pawns in a devious political strategy to subvert them.
When irrational emotions replace fact with fiction, we begin the downward spiral into the very “reality” we seek to avoid. By replacing fact with fiction, we willingly delude ourselves into calling subserviance freedom.
Remain calm in the face of hysteria, belligerence and outrageous insults. Nothing pulls the rug out from under the mental and verbal feet of a speaker more than provable facts. Stay the course. It is not as if public awareness is not present. It is, as is video and audio recordings.
When people arrogantly and loudly deny that financial cuts to Medicare, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act, which currently includes care for pre-existing conditions will take place, show them the spot in the Republican budget or the Supreme Court docket that suggests these exact things. Calm intelligence works every time.
Know that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a law, not an insurance company by that name. Presently people covered by any insurance company has this coverage because of what the ACA provides, which by this Affordable Care Act law, provides coverage to the public. Without the ACA, insurance companies can drop covering pre-existing conditions, and set unrealistic conditions which benefit their pocketbooks, as opposed to providing better healthcare to the public. Presently there is nothing to replace the currrent Affordable Care Act. Once it is gone, present insurance companies rule by their own whims.
Do you live on Social Security alone? The Republican budget calls for drastic cuts to Social Security expected to take place around February 2021. So when you are told “tax cuts” will take place one month after the Inauguration, know that these same “tax cuts” are cuts to your Social Security.
There is a big push now on the “right to work,” that everyone has a “right to work.” Translated in Republican speak, this can be taken to mean you have the right to work until you die, since your Social Security was cut, requiring you to literally work to death.
People do not like being lied to. Truth matters. We need to take care of each other. Love and kindness matter. Intelligence and honesty matter. Continue learning, because there is so much more to know that what has been told. Democracy is on the line. We can lose Democracy through choosing to remain ignorant of what is taking place before our eyes. Democracy matters.
Recognize all of the situations, even the unspoken ones, that will affect all people personally. We will have to live with the results of our thoughts, words and actions in the next four years. We cannot say we had nothing to do with it, if we chose to remain ignorant of the very things meant to sabotage our very selves.
Unless you are part of the top one percent of wealth earners in this country, or the top ten percent of those making over $500,000 per year, you and I can find ouselves bailing out these ones as we did before by obscene tax cuts for the ultra-rich, in order that they can keep reaping in the profits on the backs of the shrinking middle class. Unfortunately, the trickle down theory has never worked in reality.
Understand that when you hear that taxes are going to go up, realize that what is not being told, is that the taxes that will be going up ONLY for those people making $400,000 and more per year.
The United States of America was founded on the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all, not just for the wealthiest among us.
Have you ever found yourself in the game of denial, on either side of it?
Staying forever lost within someone else’s expectations is a high price to pay for false security.
We don’t want to deal with our problems, so we’re going to deflect attention off ourselves and manipulate you, so we do not have to change. Just go along with it, and we’ll pretend everything is OK.
We don’t want to deal with our problems, so we’re going to deflect attention off ourselves and manipulate you, so we do not have to change. Just go along with it, and we’ll pretend everything is OK.
No man is an island. We live in a world with other people. This is wonderful when everyone around us is mentally healthy, stable and productive. But these qualities are not always a goal for those around us, either for themselves or for us. Sometimes they, or we, aren’t even aware of the negative ramifications of their, or our own, words and actions. We go sailing on through life, often assuming others understand us, know us, and want the best things for us.
But we are human beings, after all. Life is not played out so perfectly. We forget another side of our human nature is selfish, greedy, lazy, and other less than admirable traits. What people around us living in denial are really looking for is either how to make their lives easier, or how to justify their own dsfunctional thoughts/words/actions, by focusing their attention on us, instead of themselves. They might even do this unconsciously. At first we might not even be aware of this situation, especially if we have grown up in a poverty mentality, or if our guardians grew up with a poverty mentality.
What is the poverty mentality?
The poverty mentality is a whole lot of poor me, woe is me, no one has it as bad as I do, I’ll never get ahead, things never work out for me, I’m no good at money/relationships/jobs/responsibility … You get the picture. The poverty mentality attacks whole families. Not knowing any better, parents indoctrinate their children by their own dysfunctional attitudes such as, people like us just can’t get ahead, that’s just for those rich folks. It’s the us versus them mentality. These parents do not know any better because this is the way they grew up, and it seems normal to them.
We can understand these otherwise loving people in our lives, without agreeing with them, or soaking what they have to say, up like a dry sponge, even if they are full of negativity. We do not have to let them have any permission to our self-esteem, or our personal power. We can even live with these people, and choose not to be influenced by them in the least bit. It’s a choice we make.
That does not mean we take the next dysfunctional step of excluding people, especially family, out of our lives altogether, choosing to make irreparable damage to family and other personal relationships. We sometimes make this mistake as a selfish quick solution as opposed to growing in character development, which from that point forward, leaves a eroneous stamp of self-justification on every other relationship we have, permanently crimping our tolerance of other points of view. We can jump to the false conclusion that neither they, nor we, will ever change. However, the mature response is to communicate, not hide from the emotional work necessary to bloom where you are planted.
We also do not have to make sure others agree with us, in our positive perspective. Practice having no judgement here. We don’t have to judge them, nor accept their misguided judgements on us. If someone is happy being miserable, let them go for it. Nothing we say can change that anyway. We can only change ourselves, and only they can change themselves. We need to decide what kind of energies we will allow into us. Once we decide not to let someone else’s mood, judgements or opinions affect us, their thoughts, words, opinions and actions slide off our aura like teflon. Imagine all that negativity sliding back down to the earth for transmutation.
Deflection and manipulation are the behavior traits that give people living in denial away. They tell on themselves by using these tactics. These tactics work quite well for them, at least for a while, until the person being manipulated becomes aware of what is going on. Depending on how much we have been mentally and verbally been beaten into submission, put down, insulted, demeaned, told how foolish we are, ridiculed, or worse, had guilt heaped on us by others, or guilt by others interpretation of religious expectations (usually man-made), we may or may not be able to stand up to them. This is true of all groups of people, families, socially in communities, religious organizations, politically in countries, and even in the workforce.
We only get one life in the present moment. Perpahs our life lesson in this lieftime is to learn how to take better care of our God-given life. Once we become aware of what our role has been so far, we can step out of that role of denial. We do not know what we do not know. But once we become aware, we have a personal responsibility not to go back to denial.
By the way, when we stop being their puppets, for those of us in relationships with people living in denial, when we step out of the ordinary way we usually interact with manipulating people, they are not going to like it. Become the observer. Do not react. Observe the temper tantrums they have, crying, yelling or anything else. Sometimes these people can be so funny, so dramatic. We have just put a hole in their rubber raft of denial. This helps them tremendously on the road to recovery, and helps us re-gain our personal power, our self-esteem, and our mental health.
LOVE is the only answer to the cords of self-hatred that are manifesting upon the world today in the insideous forms of greed, selfishness, bigotry, and superstition, which are deforming the minds of many. It is one thing to reign in the renegade, insane ego. It is quite another thing to diminish our selves into little balls of hate.
Love, in a world ignorant of Love, is the only answer. Be the LOVE. This is not a LOVE that reaches out to grasp something or someone; no, it is a LOVE that reaches out as the angelic hand of Charity, both giving and receiving, according to the heavenly polarities, that we have become identified with the nature of the Holy Spirit of God.
LOVE is the answer to the COVID-19 response.
LOVE is the answer to climate change.
LOVE is the answer to global warming.
LOVE is the answer to sustaining the rainforests, the lungs of the planet.
LOVE is the answer to feeding the hungry.
LOVE is the answer to humanitarian efforts.
LOVE is the answer to immigration.
LOVE is the answer to caring for the poor.
LOVE is the answer to homelessness.
LOVE is the answer to social justice.
LOVE is the answer to racial injustice.
LOVE is the answer to gender equality.
LOVE is the answer to social unrest.
LOVE is the answer to political guidance.
LOVE is the answer to political gaming.
LOVE is the answer to religious intolerance.
LOVE is the answer to every problem in every country.
What is the nature of LOVE?
God is LOVE. God is Spirit, not an entity.
The nature of the eternally, living God is Spirit, Holy Spirit, as John says in John 4:24, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
There is no difference in the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, nor the human comprehension of the Maha Cohen. God cannot be dissected. God is ENERGY. Energy cannot be created not destroyed. Energy can only change its form. God is spiritual. God IS LOVE. Holy Spirit is LOVE. Since God’s LOVE is spiritual, it blankets humanity with the fulfillment of the essential needs of soul and body. You and I are made by and with the Holy Spirit infused in the “Spirit” of each of us. It is our God Particle, our I AM Presence, that keeps us alive.
We have work to do. The loveless world is in need of your self-sacrifice to LOVE when all seems lost.
We have free will to acknowledge, use and share the Loving Energy, the Spirit of God in our lives. We also have free will to not acknowledge, use and share the Loving Energy, the Spirit of God in out lives. How we use our free will in this life determines how many times we will reincarnate in order to manifest the glory and perfection of God, which Jesus taught us about in Luke 17:21, when he specifically told us “nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ for the kingdom of God is within you.” The Hebrew-Greek-English Interlinear Bible says the original words say “WITHIN YOU,” not “among you,” as some bibles say today, although most bibles are changing this back to the original words, instead of only mentioning this fact in the footnotes.
Notice Jesus does not call the world, with its warped sense of free-thought, nor liberty (for some and not for others), nor human-inspired justice, a peaceful and LOVING world. Jesus tells us to “be no part of the world.”
We are to transform the world, We have work to do.
We are told in Matthew 5:48, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” New Intertional Version (NIV) These are the words of Jesus. He would not have told us this if it were not possible.
Where does the nature of God reside?
The nature of God resides in all of nature, including WITHIN you and me. The nature of God is the flame and breath of the very life WITHIN you and me. It is ever-expanding, LOVE.
Who and/or what is Maha Cohan?
Maha Cohen can be thought of as the Holy Spirit of God; also known as the Ascended Master of the Power of LOVE. Picture LOVE coming into your heart on the Ruby Ray, direct from God into your heart. Meditate on this Ruby Ray as it melts away all that is not made of LOVE in your life.
How do you manifest into physical form something that is spiritual in nature?
How can you manifest LOVE in your life?
How can you touch LOVE?
What does LOVE look like?
What does LOVE feel like?
How can you manifest Holy Spirit, the Loving Presence of Maha Cohan in your life?
Today we see huge voids of LOVE in the world, in our countries, in our families and inside our personal selves. These pulsating voids of LOVE make their presence known in personal relationships, political arenas, financial institutions, business models and the thinking that fuels them.
Lack of LOVE is a dark energy which is self-serving, without regard for people, places and things that it adversely affects. Lack of LOVE is self-hatred. It is an example of the Law of Karma, where previous seeds sown of misqualified greed, selfishness and power manifest in realities that mirror the seeds. This should come as no surprise to anyone.
LOVE is mutable, changing and transforming along with our focus and intention. When we do not pay enough attention to LOVE within ourselves, our families, or our countries, we and they fall apart.
There is only one way to correct the lack of LOVE in our perception and our reality, and that is to begin to LOVE again. LOVE more. Rather than tear down, build up. In place of destroying the reputations of others, build up the good that you see in those people who you use your free will to help support.
Stop destructive thoughts, words and actions. We can all do this. We make mistakes. The more we recognize our failings, even in the midst of them, we can stop. Take a breath, and begin again with LOVE as the driving force to create a better life for ourselves and everyone around us. It all begins with you and me. It is an easy cop-out to point fingers at the other guy. Deflection and diversion never solve the problem. Deflection and diversion only make the problem worse. Problem solving is what solves problems.
It is not necessary to spend precious time ripping apart the character of a person or a country that is lacking in LOVE. This is simply a complete waste of energy. Positive energy, LOVE, is life affirming and energy building. Lack of LOVE is depleting. When we see greed, selfishness, power hungry individuals, the answer is to invite the Energy of LOVE (Maha Cohen), which is the Invincible Holy Spirit into the equation. Greed, selfishness and unrestrained power wreak havoc over every situation where LOVE is not present.
“Those who have not penetrated the spiritual realms sparkling just beyond their enjoyment of this earthly existence with its everyday montages of life and death – these have not truly lived.” taken fromLost Teachings on Keys to Spiritual Progress
There is more to life than earthly mansions, exotic vacations, physical wealth, pleasures, hoarding food and goods, and every other form of dominance over others.
“Jesus warned us of covetousness in the human spirit, as if we can duplicate the abundant life, fair and free and God-given by oneself unto oneself. And this, too, is karma.” taken from Lost Teachings on Keys to Spiritual Progress
I encourage us all to LOVE more, beginning with ourselves. YOU ARE WORTHY. YOU ARE LOVED, even if you think you are not. Know that you are LOVED! You are LOVED by Maha Cohan, the LOVE of Holy Spirit, mirrored WITHIN YOU since you have the Spirit of Life keeping you alive at this very moment. You are not only LOVED, YOU ARE LOVE. Realize this truth.
If your thoughts, words and actions have not reflected that you are LOVE, you can change this in the blink of an eye. Your free will is all powerful. You are in control of your free will. The will of others is not in control of you. It is not the will of others that determines what you choose to do in your life. Even if you are presently limited by a situation where you are not free to roam about as you please, you still have the God-given freedom of your mind to think your own thoughts, and pray your own prayers, that are always heard by the author of LOVE.
Life situations change all the time. The only constant in life is change. Not all change is pleasant or helpful to us. What is in our control is how we deal with change. We need to learn how to act rather than react. That helps us move forward, regardless of our situation. Plan positive solutions begin right where you are.
What is the next positive thing you can do?
You have the God-given gift of free will, given to you as part of your humanity. You can choose to use free will in any way. I suggest you use your free will for good, for the abundance of all good things, and for LOVE. Use your LOVE as the answer to any and every problem that faces you, personally as well as for socially, politically and in every other situation that requires your input.
