Always Choose Love

The world is full of chaos and confusion--here in the USA and elsewhere. I see arguments all over social media and many are saying they have unfriended this person or that person because of their views. The mainstream media is even worse when it comes to trying to maintain division between people. Division is the problem. We are working so hard to align ourselves with what is right that we have forgotten one very important principle: love.

The irony of the fight going on right now is that it is not even our fight, yet we are the ones battling! Whose fight is it, you ask? It is a fight between rulers and all those who would control the planet--kings, prime ministers, presidents, corporations, bankers, etc. There has been a very marked shift in power that is most notable with the election of Donald Trump, who represents a very different power faction taking over. Those who have held the reins are struggling to retain their grasp, and they still have a great deal of power. You can see this in the constant bashing Trump is receiving worldwide for enforcing laws and rules that are already on the books! If the people losing power can convince us to fight for their side, they know they have a chance to regain that power. The propaganda media is what keeps We the People playing this power game.

The saddest part about this whole situation is that We the People have willingly given our massive power to these crazy people in charge and are feeding into the chaos. The reality (should we choose to accept it) is that We the People have it within ourselves to change the turmoil by reclaiming our personal power! 

How do we reclaim our power? We reclaim our power by choosing love! Lately, we have not been motivated by love but by fear. We are told it is love. For example, love is fighting for our immigrant neighbors, right? Possibly. The question we all need to ask ourselves is what is it that drives us? While love might honestly be a factor, fear also plays a factor. The darkness in this scenario tells us that Trump is the new Hitler and eventually we will all end up in prison camps if we don't fight for immigrants now. Is it love that motivates us, or is it the belief that life will become much worse for everyone if we do not take up the fight? 

Many of us are in denial that our actions are based on fear. We allow our terror to turn us into hurtful, hateful monsters that no longer focus on love. This is where actions such as arguing and unfriending on social media kick in. It has even been reaching extreme levels with some people who are leaving love far behind and physically attacking others who are perceived as separate, all the while believing they are standing for justice. When we allow this to happen we have become that which we fear!

What does choosing love look like? It begins when we tap into the innermost corners of our hearts. It will often go directly to those people and things we interact with on a daily basis. It will guide us into actions that help and heal--even when some of those actions appear to be counterintuitive to what we believe we want to accomplish. Love looks to what we have in common instead of our differences. Love seeks to build bridges. When we allow our hearts to guide our actions, nothing outside ourselves can separate us from that heart connection we share with each other.

Are your actions playing into the chaos and division that is so pervasive in the world today? Do you feel separate from your neighbor as you choose sides? Is fear your ultimate motivation? Chances are you have given over your own power to mentally ill people and are playing their insane power game. 

Take back your power! Forget that your neighbor is a Democrat or Republican or Muslim or Christian or straight or gay or an addict or a criminal. Look at the chaos and misery within your own circle and choose to make a difference in all those places your heart shows you. Always choose love. If and when we focus on that, our world will begin to fall into place.

Fear And The Powers That Be

My first waking thought this morning was an interesting one. The powers that be are afraid. They're afraid because, for the first time in centuries, they are losing control. They have been losing it for quite a while now. It has just taken them this long to truly absorb the thought.

How do I know? I know because they have not given the final order for the financial collapse to begin. At various times throughout history they have planned economic implosions which are designed to pile more and more money into their hands while removing it from the hands of the masses. 

Look at the circumstances surrounding the Great Depression. The wealthiest people all of a sudden sold off massive quantities of stocks, This created a panic because other investors figured the ultra rich knew something they didn't know and began selling their stocks as well. Then there was a run on the banks. Businesses collapsed. After the masses were left jobless and penniless, the ultra rich began buying up "worthless" stocks for pennies on the dollar. This is empire building at its finest. 

I look at the world economy today. The derivatives market, which is a ponzi scheme to end all ponzi schemes, should have already collapsed. Derivatives are literally bets that certain assets are going to lose or increase value. Bets! They are not actual, buy-and-sell, tradable assets. The big banks literally have trillions of dollars worth of these bets, and the game is ready to be called. When that happens, pretty much all banks will collapse because theses bets are intricately tied together from one institution to another. All the analysts are saying it is going to happen any day, yet it has not. This situation has continued on for months now.

Why has the system not collapsed? The powers that be know that if they collapse it all now, We the People will rise up and take control. As recently as 2008, the powers that be could have collapsed large portions of it and taken what they wanted from the rubble. We willingly let them bail out the big banks at the time because they convinced us those banks were too big to fail--that everyone's livelihood depended on the big banks staying afloat. In 2016, the masses know enough to not let them get away with it again.

The powers that be continue to nurse their system along. With the help of the mainstream media, which they own, they are able to maintain the illusion that things are okay. It is precarious at best because We the People are angry. That much is obvious by the vast support that has been created for non-mainstream candidates like Sanders and Trump. The powers that be know that, if they continue with their planned implosion, all their power and substance will be lost because the masses will no longer allow them to take everything.

We are on the verge of great change. What will it take to push us over the edge? Once again, change is dependent on us. It is for all of us to wake up and say, "I am not content with the way things are. It is time to take responsibility and take control of what happens in the world." 

The shoe is on the other foot. Because we are aware, we are no longer slaves to fear. We understand we are not dependent on the system. We understand we are creators with infinite potential. 

It is the powers that be who are afraid. Their time to rule is at an end and they fear what that might look like. It is time to step into our own power and BE the change we wish to see in the world.

Question What You See!!!

I happened to catch a glimpse of the recent "hero" cop footage from the San Bernardino shootings. The video appears to be footage from someone's cell phone. In it, you can see a cop leading leading people with their hands in the air to safety. At least that's what we're being told about it. (You can watch the footage here.) In later footage that reveals the "hero" cop, he makes the statement, "I am no hero." I agree with him. He's no hero.

My intuition is telling me this video is staged to look like it was taken during the middle of the ordeal. The question is, why would they go to all this trouble? As always, the question goes back to agenda. What could they possibly hope to promote by showing this clip repeatedly?

Take a good look at the victims being led out. They are behaving nicely, like good citizens. Even though they are the victims, they are led out of the building with their hands in the air, like criminals. They are compliant. It is typical of other such footage we've seen in the past. The one that stands out most in my mind is the Columbine school shooting, where the students are led out with their hands up.

This video is being shown all over mainstream news here in the United States. To me, they are attempting to program the population into acquienscence for a future declaration of martial law. They want compliant slaves, not ones who question and possibly buck the system.

Do not allow these thoughts to put you into fear. While the powers that be may want to declare martial law and take total control, there are enough awake people they would not be able to get away with it on a countrywide scale. Besides, they continue to lose power daily. With each new false flag operation, more and more people wake up to the games.

I point these things out because it is important to question. Questions lead us to new truths and new awarenesses. Do not automatically take things at face value, especially if your heart information is puzzled. For those of us who regularly go into our hearts, questions from the heart are there to guide you to truth. Pay attention to them!

The truth is out there. Make sure to question what you see so you can act with insight instead of react in blindness and be led astray.

Who Are You In This Moment Of Now?

Tensions are high around the world as I write this. People are reeling from the trauma of events in Paris as well as in other parts of the world. The media would have you believe that all the world is evil and we can't avoid it. My question today is, who are you in this moment of now?

Take a few moments to sit in a quiet place where you can relax with your eyes closed. Inhale and exhale slowly, deep, cleansing breaths. Feel the tension and stress leave your body on your exhales while you focus on bringing light and peace into your body when you inhale. Shift your awareness to this breathing until you can feel your spirit resting comfortably in your body and not somewhere outside yourself (in imagination or otherwise).

When you are aware of your spirit resting inside your body, ask yourself a few simple questions. What is in my heart? Do I feel fear or love? If fear, is this because of circumstances within yourself or outside yourself? Allow yourself to let go of what is outside yourself as you focus on being present in your body in the now. Do you feel love? If not, allow yourself to connect to the love in your heart, which is always present. Understand that love is not only a part of you but a part of your connection to Oneness as well. Love is the force that binds us all together!!! Allow yourself to sit in this love until you begin to feel a sense of joy and peace. These are the frequencies you need to focus on and try to carry with you at all times.

In each moment of now, we can choose who we want to be! When we focus on love, we are choosing to carry that frequency. We are choosing to bring love into our physical world. Those around us respond in positive ways to that frequency.

Who are you in this moment of now? By focusing on the question we have the power to intentionally change the world!!!

How Do You Look At The World?

I have been a people person from the time I was a small child. My parents are both outgoing, and they have always been great examples on how to love and accept other people--even people who are different from themselves. When I was growing up they introduced me to people from other cultures, and I enjoyed getting to know and understand those differences firsthand.

I was able to embrace and carry this philosophy into adulthood. I have been fortunate enough in this lifetime to meet people who have originated from all over the world, not to mention from various subcultures within the United States. I am lucky to have friends from many different countries, from all races, all religions, all political affiliations, all sexual orientations. I like to call myself an "equal opportunity friend". All I require for friendship is accepting me for who I am, just as I accept you, regardless of differences.

Unfortunately, not everyone has had it as easy as I have. Some people live in areas of the world that have experienced tremendous problems and suffering. These people have learned to live in fear. Even people here in the United States live in fear, much of it caused by listening to the news provided by the mainstream media about how bad things are in the world and even in this country.

If you look at the world through eyes of fear, you automatically live in a state of separation. Fear is the emotion that blocks you off and shuts you down from the rest of the world. Holding fear will not allow you to embrace others or their differences.

On the other hand, if you look at the world through eyes of acceptance and love, you allow yourself to embrace differences. You may not totally understand those differences. You may not really even like them. Liking differences is not required for acceptance and love. True love is open, accepting and inviting, regardless of differences. Love is also the doorway to peace and prosperity.

Note that holding fear is not the same as looking at problems. You can open your eyes to problems in order to find solutions without falling into fear. If your focus on the problem revolves around bringing light and love to it, you create solutions instead of separation.

How do you look at the world? Are you afraid of all those who are different from yourself, or are you able to look past those differences to embrace the heart of each one? Fear or love? The choice you make will either destroy you or bless you. Choose wisely.

On The Other Side Of Fear

Wars and rumors of wars. Disease. Environmental destruction. Failing economies, falling stocks and poverty. The world is one great big mess. Most days it is easy to get lost in the negativity of it all. Being fearful is the natural result of such a focus. The thing is, there is so much more on the other side of fear.

There is friendship and peace on the other side of fear. Many people work behind the scenes every day to bring cooperation to situations that are on the verge of becoming volatile. The fact of the matter is, most people worldwide do not hate and dislike the idea of fighting. It is only our supposed "leaders" who fight for control of the world's resources that take us into conflict in the first place. We have the power to change this by making our voices heard.

There are cures for disease on the other side of fear. Often, finding them requires looking beyond what we are told. Some of the cures we know about. Others still require finding. Our world and even our own bodies can reveal secrets to how to keep our bodies in health.

The world's money problems continue to play in the forefronts of our minds, thanks to the media. Markets all over the world are volatile and in freefall. The thing to remember here is, you can't eat money. Even though we believe we need money to survive, the reality is we don't. We need food to survive. We need water and air and access to clothing and housing. Understand the things we need to survive already exist. We just need to rethink the system that gets them to us.

Stepping into the other side of fear requires us to focus on improvements that need to be made. The only reason we need to even acknowledge the fear is so we understand exactly what needs to be changed in the first place. Fear does not need to be given place in our hearts.

It is time to step out on the other side of fear, and change the world.

The Reason For Our Fear

I've seen a lot of "fear porn" (stories designed to induce so much fear they excite people) in recent weeks. Many people seem to believe we are living in some sort of apocalyptic last days and that the demons of hell are being loosed to destroy the world--just before a savior steps up to take us all to the promised land. Very simply, I am not buying it! There is a reason for our fear, and it has nothing to do with the dire predictions that have been made in the Bible and elsewhere.

Yesterday's post talked about things we can do to overcome our fears. (Six Simple Things You Can Do To Overcome Your Fears) In my way of thinking, this is extremely critical information right now. It seems everywhere you turn there is something to be afraid of. Terrorists (foreign and domestic). Wars. Disease. Racism. Police brutality. Government plots to incarcerate average Americans. You name it. It's probably out there.

The reason all this fear is out there is because the powers that be (what I usually refer to as the cabal in my conspiracy theorist circles) are losing, and they are now using up their whole bag of fear tactics in a last ditch effort to maintain control!!! This is why the mainstream media and even controlled bits of the alternative media are promoting fear-based stories.

Fear is a base frequency that is very destructive. It can make people question the motivations of others, causing them to fight among themselves. It can put people into fight or flight mode, which is a nonthinking, reactive state to be in (and one that can be easily controlled by the cabal). On a spiritual level, fear makes people vulnerable to spiritual attack. Fear can create holes in the aura, or spiritual body, which can then be invaded by negative entities who like to feed off your energy and exert control over you.

Lately when I hear fear-based stories in either the mainstream or alternative medias, I look at them with a critical eye. Most of the mainstream stories I look at are designed to make people choose sides as though there is an enemy we need to fight against. When I look at the fear-based alternative stuff, I get the same impression. In other words, the stories come with a feeling/energy that induces a fight or flight response.

This is not how I choose to be. I know enough people of all races, religions, cultures, genders, sexual orientations, etc. to know that the vast majority of people out there really are doing their best to be positive energies in the world. The fear based stories I am hearing and reading about do not reflect this reality.

The cabal, who still controls the mainstream media and portions of the alternative media, is putting out all sorts of stories in order to induce fear in the population. Understand the fear they are promoting is not real. It is just a frequency they are using to maintain control, and it is no longer working.

Don't believe me? Ask your heart!!! Your heart knows there are good things out there. Your heart knows a better world is coming--a world where the cabal is no longer in control and wreaking havoc on the population. When we can live consistently in the places our hearts lead us, there is no more fear. There is only love. It is love that guides us. It is love that empowers us. It is love that will build our much brighter futures! Focus on that, and the world will change for the better in the blink of an eye.

Six Simple Things You Can Do To Overcome Your Fears

I'm not sure who coined the term "fear porn", but it's one I appreciate. It's a phrase used to describe a story or event that uses fear to get someone cranked up or focused on fear to the point of getting excited about it. The question is, why would someone want us to focus on fear?

There are a number of reasons for promoting fear. Fear is often used to enable leaders to push through agenda points. The fear that came with 9/11 allowed politicians to begin a war in Iraq and pass the "Patriot" Act, which was the first step in allowing agencies like the NSA step on our privacy rights. Very often stories that involve the shootings of innocent people are used to promote anti-gun legislation. Fear can be extremely effective in promoting change.

Fear can create a docile population. When people fear an enemy, real or imaginary, they will allow someone or something they see as stronger and more powerful than themselves to protect them. The more fear people feel (and the more victimized they become), the more likely they will be to hand over the reigns of control to their savior or protector.

There is a much more subtle but ultimately more dangerous reason fear is promoted, however. On a spiritual level, fear makes people vulnerable to attack. There are certain negative energies that feed directly off of fear. Where the fear is great, one can feel these negative energies getting stronger as they literally suck the life force out of people.

Overcoming fear is as simple as recognizing you are in a state of fear and doing something to counteract it. Some of the tools I use are listed below:

1. Humor. Laughing and jokes are an easy and instantaneous way of changing the energy in any given situation.
2. Meditation. This can be a way for people to connect into their hearts and understand they are not powerless. Tapping into Oneness through meditation allows you to access the truth. Not only will you understand what is not accurate, but you will understand if there is something you need to fix.
3. Exercise. Fear often leads to physical changes of stress in your body. Using your body in the physical act of exercise will often release these stress symptoms, allowing your mind to clear and see new ways of facing your challenges.
4. Hobbies. Using an activity you enjoy can free your mind from fear and allow you to focus on something that will build you up.
5. Connecting to pets. Petting with or playing with your dog, riding a horse, or even watching a fish in the fish tank all have the ability to calm your fears. Animals often have a sixth sense to understand your need, and they will do what they can to make you feel better.
6. Talking about your fears to someone else. On many occasions, just getting the fear energy out of your body by talking about it to someone else will help you see it in a more rational light. Also, your friend might be able to help by showing your fear to you from a different perspective, which will alter the way you see it.

This is by no means an all inclusive list, but hopefully it will get you started on ways you can get over your own fears to create positive change in your own life.

When we are able to see past our fears, we are empowered to create the world of our dreams!!!

Your World Reflects Your Perception

I had a really interesting conversation with an old friend last night. In the process, I discovered we have extremely different outlooks in life even though the energies we actually choose to be are quite similar. He sees racism in the United States as an extreme that is pervasive in our society. For him, it is as though most people are racist. In my view of the world, most people are not racist. Does racism exist? Of course it does!!! I just don't see it as the common mentality that my friend believes it is. Why do we see things so differently? What could be the cause of our difference in perspective?

I can tell you why I don't see racism as a big problem. My early years were spent in Dayton, Ohio. In the 70's, the Dayton Public School system decided they needed to integrate their schools. This created a lot of "white flight" out of the school system--either through moving out of district or enrolling in private school. Once the dust settled, I went from a school that was almost all white to 2/3 black. It did not bother me. I was up for meeting and getting to know people who were different from myself.

This was by far a very positive experience for me. I learned so much and made some really incredible new friends. However, I also learned something about racism. In the early days of my new school, I made a new black friend named Nora. We got along well and enjoyed hanging out at school. Then one day a few weeks into the school year, Nora came to school and told me her mother told her not to be my friend because I was white. It made me sad, and it also made me aware that prejudice could go both ways.

When I moved to South Carolina in high school, I thought I knew what to expect. I truly expected there to be great separations between whites and blacks--obvious racism. What I saw did not meet my expectations. Even though the majority of my school was white, I can't recall any racial tension. I had black friends in my classes. White and black athletes hung out together. There were always black girls voted into the school pageant and as cheerleaders. The tension and separation I expected to see and feel was just not there.

I went to college in Iowa and then lived there a total of twelve years. Even though Ames, the area I spent most of that time in, and Iowa State University were thought of as open to other cultures because they had allowed George Washington Carver to attend university there, I actually found more racism in Iowa than in any other place I had lived. I would hear other white people talk about black people and their culture and avoid them. Of course, I met many people in Iowa (not university types) who had almost never even been out of state. As there are not many black people in Iowa, Iowans don't have much of a chance to get to know people different from themselves.

My experiences here in Georgia have been very positive regarding racism. I not only have many black friends, but I have made friends of people from pretty much all cultures, all religions, and all races. I very rarely come into contact with people who truly dislike people different from themselves. I admit, when I feel that energy I tend to do what I can to get away from it. It literally repels me.

And maybe that's the difference between myself and my friend. I seem to end up in places that put me into contact with people very similar to myself--not similar race but similar love energy. People who are open to relationship and seek out love.

On those occasions when I come into contact with racism, I do what I can to show them another way to function. I don't call them out on it and tell them how horrible it is. I look at their hurt and do what I can to try to heal it. Racism is the result of unhealed fear, anger and pain.

Ultimately, what I have experienced in my life is a reflection of how I believe others are going to respond to me. Hopefully, I can share that with all those I come into contact with.

Overcoming the Fear Mindset

It has taken me almost fifty years to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. Yes, I went through all the motions. Went to college. Got married. Got a job in my career field. Had kids. Became a stay-at-home-mom. Got divorced. Went into round two of getting a job (more or less to pay the bills so I could afford to raise my kids my way). It wasn't until my kids were almost raised that I really began to focus on what I wanted to do for me--what would truly make me happy. Fortunately, I have been assisted by my partner in crime, hubby #2, who has allowed me to pursue my dreams (even when they aren't making money).

I have wanted to be a writer since I was twelve years old. When I was in high school, I began volunteering my time working with children who had been neglected and abused. I found I enjoyed showing them love and kindness because of the healing effects it had on both them and myself. My experiences at church camp taught me to appreciate my connection to the Divine, thus sealing my desire to help people attain their own personal connection. Until recently, all these passions seemed too dissimilar to find them all in one convenient "job". Then I began working with a life coach, and things began to fall into place as I focused in on how I wanted to use my gifts to pull those desires together.

In the past, fear has often stopped me from working towards my goals. The fear of potential fame is a big one. I look at the lives of those who are already famous and feel sorry for those people who are hounded by the press and fans. Even the thought of allowing that possibility into my life makes me anxious.

Another fear that has stopped me from playing big is my fear of becoming arrogant. I do not like to be around arrogant people. I believe they are weak as they attempt to inflate their own importance by diminishing the importance of others. I have seen people acquire arrogance as they grew in fame or became supposed "experts" in their chosen fields. It can be difficult to not think yourself more worthy than others when you constantly hear about how "wonderful" you are. It is a weak state to be in and one that makes you vulnerable to attack.

Willingness to step out in faith and play big requires you to take risks. I have spent a great deal of time making myself small and unseen because of experiences I remember from past lives where I allowed myself to play big.

At any rate, I made the decision and set the intention to use my gifts to try to heal and free the people of this earth. I started this blog, using my name, to (hopefully) ask the questions that will help others think about new ways of doing things in order to promote positive change. While I still have a long way to my ultimate readership goals, things have actually progressed much more quickly than I would have thought.

The thing that has helped me the most is actually meditating and praying each and every day. I make time to get into my heart and intentionally connect to all that IS. I ask what I can do to help others as I use the gifts I have been given to the best of my abilities. This is how I am following my heart.

Overcoming fear is focusing on love and living through that. The fear will still come back from time to time, but the more you focus on that love relationship you have with the Divine, the more likely your fears will stay in the background, allowing you to play big and create a much better world.
