  • All attack is a cry for help

    Spiritual viewpoint on the Boston bombings: All attack is a cry for help. We are all ONE. Enough of the bloodshed. Let us call for a total paradigm shift.

    We must learn to find a way to know that we are all brothers and sisters here on this earth, and that humanity is ONE race.

    We must move into greater understanding, and have compassion for each other.

    We cannot continue to seek to control the behaviour of each other through force, which never works. It is a low energy vibration. All spiritual masters have said this.

    We must ask for greater transparency, and honesty, from our governments and leaders. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to ‘foreign policy’ which directly or indirectly suppresses whole nations because of our lust for power, and our need to maintain a status quo in which a great portion of the Earth’s people live in abject misery and squalor.

    Although there is talk of catching the terrorists responsible, these words surely ring hollow for those who are dead or injured, and all the families affected.

    Political rhetoric always comes to the fore at a time of crisis, and then our politicians and leaders soon go back to their old ways, oblivious to the world’s suffering.

    If we recognise there is no “other” than us, then all of humanity’s problems will evaporate overnight. It can be no other way. A sense of urgency must be upon us all now to correct our deepest misperceptions.

    “Consciousness is everything, and creates your experience. Group consciousness is powerful and produces outcomes of unspeakable beauty or ugliness. The choice is always yours. If you are not satisfied with the consciousness of your group, seek to change it.” ~ Conversations with God.

    It is clear then: what is needed is a change in consciousness, not merely a change in policy.

  • To you I promise

    The only good thing about bad things,
    is that it brings people together in love.

    Love will always prevail.  Always.

    For many, the past 24 hours has been filled with tears and disbelief in regards to the terrible bombing that took place at the Boston Marathon.  It is hard for us to wrap our hearts around why anyone would choose to do this to innocent people.  Our televisions have been filled with images of explosions, chaos, disbelief, and reporters frantically running about trying to get as many details to the public as possible.

    Unfortunately, our eyes have seen way too many images of anguish lately instead of happiness.  But here is where the pivotal decision comes in… we can either choose to curl up and wallow in fear about the state of our world, or we can stand up in love and continue to spread our light across a bleak landscape.

    Join me in… Choosing to love.  Choosing to smile.  Choosing to help your neighbor.  Choosing kindness over hatred.  Choosing understanding over judgement.  Choosing life over death.  Choosing to RISE and SHINE your light onto others of this world.  That is what this world so desperately needs right now… love. 

    It was not that long ago I was sitting at my notebook, writing words to those suffering after the mass shooting in Newtown.  When yesterday’s tragedy happened, I was immediately drawn back to the original post.  I re-read it and saw clearly that this letter is my promise to anyone, anywhere that is suffering… This, my friends, is My Promise to You!

    When you no longer hope; I will hope for you

    When you no longer believe; I will believe for you

    When you no longer love; I will love for you

    When you no longer see the light; I will see it for you

    When you no longer can stand the pain; I will stand it for you

    When you can no longer shed a tear; I will shed tears for you

    When you can no longer get up; I will carry you!

    I feel your heart and I feel your pain.

    Do whatever it is you need to do to heal.  Go through any process you need to go through to bring peace…  I understand if you want to take a break from the game of life for a while.  I understand if you want to hunker down in solitude with your loved ones and escape the world… bury yourself in your blankets and never come out.  Please do whatever it is you need to do during this time, and trust that myself, and millions of others, will take care of holding the space, light and love until you are ready to come back to the game.  I will save your spot for you.  I will be there for you.

    We will all be there for you.

    Until then, you will be missed but I look forward to greeting you with open arms upon your return.  Trust that all will be fine until then.
