Think it, Imagine it...

Life can be difficult and when we grow older some things can be even more difficult.  I guess a lot of us older types have developed wisdom, or at least what we try to make look like wisdom because it is too hard to do anything else.  It has been said that in the new world, the new earth, we will live a long healthy painfree life.  Also we will bring into the world in our next life all that we learned this time around and all the others lives, so maybe that wisdom isn’t such a bad idea.   Imagine a baby born with the wisdom and knowledge of an older person.  It is also said that some children born with Autism are one of these types, they are being born before their time in order to help bring forth this new world.   Thats why we are told that we WILL come back.  We won’t miss a world of peace, wisdom, based on love, something we have worked for for lots of lives.  There is no time in spirit so there is no date when this will happen but lets do it.  Help me think it into being.  Think it, Imagine it, a new earth.  

A Job for You...

Do you watch the news, or perhaps, don’t watch the news anymore because you see all the pain, and violence, and terrible things happening, nasty weather, earthquakes.   OMG it’s just too much... the world is going to hell in a handbasket (whatever that means).  You are probably tired of me telling you that these are the birth pangs of a world we would really want to live in.  Well I have a job for you.   It has a couple of parts to it.  First of all your job is to stay positive.  Allow yourself to settle into a peaceful acceptance of what is and believe with all your heart that it is change for the better.  
And the second part of your job is to do something about it.   Now I totally understand we are not all Martin Luther King Junior, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Jesus, any of the other known heroes.   But you have opinions, ideas.  I think a lot of people understand what is going on with politics.  What I want you to do is think about what you would do with a particular world/national/local/community/personal challenge.  Think about what could be done to improve or change that situation using love, fairness, honesty, unity as your basis for change.  Then think about all of the people you influence.  Your spouse, your friend, your sibling, your child, your grandchild.   Break the subject to them.  Tell them there are solutions to the worlds’ problems that don’t involve hate/violence/exploitation.  If you have thought of a solution tell them this is what you would do.   You may not have the courage or the ability to do it yourself.   Ask them to come up with their own ideas. You may be the one that sparks the fire within a child that comes up with the solution to hunger, energy, peace...   It doesn’t matter if it was your idea, if you were not the one to bring it about.  The earth holds your energy....  The world knows.....
A quote from Wilfred A. Peterson that I used in 1962 during a high school graduation speech.  “As you throw the weight of your influence on the side of the good, the true and the beautiful, your life will go on in others, bigger, finer, nobler, than you ever dared to be...” 

It is So Easy to be Tired...

It is so easy to be tired.   Sick and tired of hearing of the pain that we heap upon each other that is pushed in a bigger pile by the media. 
There is pain associated with birth, sometimes a lot of pain.  The dawning of the new day sometimes comes during a storm.  
Take care of yourself.  If you feel their pain, allow yourself to feel it and know that by feeling the pain of the other you are helping to expose the wound and cleanse it. 
It is so easy to be tired of hearing, even experiencing the pain of the planet and its inhabitants but keep the faith.   If we don’t believe we are birthing a new way we won’t.
It is okay to sleep through the news.  It is okay to turn off the ‘in your face drama’ of the world.  If you do encounter it, feel it, and then let it go.   The storm clouds do break up and move on eventually.  

2011 Death to tyranny and birth to possibilities.

I have proposed potentials and possibilities in these writings and I am going to review them.  
2011 is the year of illumination and as I look back at all that has happened this year It looks to me as though this has indeed brought a lot of illumination to the planet.  Would there have been so many revolutions had not so many people 'seen the light'.
The second possibility is that the changes taking place now are making way for a time of peace on earth.   I am told by mothers that birth is accompanied by pain.   The changes taking place on the planet both among the people and on the planet itself are the birthpangs of a new world.  This new world is the prophesied New Jerusalem, the New Earth, the earth of peace, harmony and creativity.
I am listing the evolutionary events that have happened in just the first half of 2011.  The list is quite amazing when you see it all in one place:
