I Greet You All With Love

Hello Everyone,

I'd like to start out by saying a big "Thank You" for reading this post. I hope to give people a great deal of information in this blog, information that may anger some, and frighten others, but hopefully empower all. We are all threads in the fabric of this Earth, and while our colors may be bright or dull, loose, or tightly wound up, if we do not pull together, we all unravel. Information is power, power gives way to responsibility. The more we learn, the more we are responsible to teach this knowledge to those who will come after us. We must ask ourselves if what we hope to pass down to our children is the best we have to offer. If not, there is still time. But we do not have forever.

We live in a world of separation between what serves the higher good, and what is self-serving, and benefits no one. We are becoming sicker in body and mind, ever more lost, ever more depressed. Ever more out of touch with that which is our purpose. And we seek connection, with the help of electronic devices....Yet we are still separated from others, and from our true selves. Though technology crosses borders, there are still walls that keep us from true communion with each other.

Where is the joy that we seek? We compare our lives to those of others with more possessions, those who appear to have what we lack in beauty, romantic relationships, fame or success. Are they any more important than us? Do we breathe in less air than they, are our hurts less painful, our challenges less real? We spend more time watching "reality" TV than living within our own reality, actively creating our lives, and manifesting what we desire. We are caught up in lack thoughts that do no serve us----telling us we need more and more in order to live happily, when in reality what we truly need is to simplify our lives. Spend more time with our families. Visit with friends instead of voice chat, email, texting. We need to appreciate our differences in order to see that we balance each other out, no one more important than the other.

We are going through a crisis as a global community, but if we stand side by side, and remember our humanity, we can see past the greed of politicians, the madness of the zealous theocrats, the mindless distractions the media places in front of us to distract us from our true purpose. We each have one. Many of us are suffering from illness, poverty, financial hardships, injustice, and these should inspire compassion in us for others just as we hope to inspire sympathy from those we encounter.

I see a brother, a sister in each one of you. I hope to leave you all tonight with a message of hope:
Love can carry us through any challenge. Honor each other, honor the Earth from whence you came, and know that strong communities are the foundations of strong societies. We CAN change our course, but we must change our hearts. Love allows us to see new possibilities, Fear keeps us staring at a window that is boarded up with wooden planks....hiding our potential to shine.
Though we walk through fire, we are as grains of sand, slowly smoldering until we become incandescent. We become glass, and see all of our faces reflected within it.

I love you all.
