Some groups work politically while others spiritually or socially. Some focus on the poor or refuges, others on human rights, some on the politicians themselves who seem to be making the decisions.
During this period of our evolution, it is so important that each of makes his or her personal statement through thoughts words and actions.
We do not have luxury of being indifferent. If we are not part of the solution, then through our apathy, we are part f the problem itself. Unfortunately many good and loving people like you and I have been too occupied with our small personal lives, ignoring the directions our society has been taking.
What can we do to more powerfully effect the world we live in?
1. Create your personal vision of the world you would like to live in.
How would you like this world to be? Should there be justice, equality, love, abundance and dignity for all regardless of race, nationality or religion?
This is an important first step. You cannot create what you do not desire or cannot imagine.
This vision is within us all. We all know what we want from others and life. What is often not the as clear is if we also want the same for others. It is important for us to decide whether it is important for us that others also have what we so much want from life.
Try writing a description of your personal vision as to how you would like your world to be and also how you would like the rest of us to be and live.
2. Aligning ourselves is the next step.
We cannot inspire others to such values as peace equality, love and justice if we ourselves do not embody these inwardly and practically in our lives.
We need to align our lives with our highest values and behave in ways that we believe all will need to behave in order to create the world we want to live in. Actions speak much louder than words.
Think, if everyone did this, how would the world be. If you think the world would be great, then go ahead. If you perceive that there would be problems if everyone were to act (or not act) as you, then perhaps you need to align yourself more completely with your higher self.
3. Unite with others towards common goals.
Alone we are weak and helpless, but united we can be very powerful. (Think of Ghandi or Mother Theresa.) Seek out others who share your ideas and visions. You may want to work together towards various possible goals such as:
a. Greater communication between conflicting groups such as religions, political parties, the generations, workers & employers etc.
b. Rehabilitation for prisoners or physically or emotionally unwell.
c. Food, shelter and employment for refugees and homeless.
d. Protection for orphans, unwed mothers and the elderly.
e. Political actions through letters, telephone calls, speeches and marches for causes.
f. Protecting the environment and animals.
g. Prayer and positive visualization and invocation for peace and the highest possible good for all.
You can think of so many other aspects of our realty that need healing and help.
4. Dedicate as much time and energy as you can to the cause you choose - without of course, neglecting your family and work.
We all have at least an hour a week (and many have much more) that we can dedicate to creating a healthier, happier more equal reality for all humans and other beings. Our immediate environment has a great need for our positive energy and actions.
5. Our prayers and positive thoughts will always increase the effectiveness of our efforts.
Also there are situations that may be going on beyond our sphere of physical influence. In such a case, prayer and positive visualization are our main tools.
Avoid the trap of hate
We need to avoid cultivating hate or violence towards those whom we consider the causes of the problems we perceive. These beings and especially our political and religious leaders are simply manifestations of our collective beliefs and needs.
They represent the state of our social and religious consciousness which is still at a low level of evolution. They are showing us how we, as a mass, think and behave. There could only be a Hitler as long as that quality of hate, prejudice and misuse of power existed in us all to some degree.
Thus, hating these leaders or others will not help anyone. We need to send them light and love and pray for their connection to higher aspects of their being, and of course, for our collective connection to higher aspects of our universal self.
Let us look into ourselves to see how we, in our small world, act in ways that are similar to those leaders. Most of us have misused power and behaved violently (with words or actions) to our spouses, children, siblings and parents or those who annoy us. What we are seeing in the world is our inner world on a larger scale.
Learned the possible lessons
While praying and acting towards the highest possible good for all, we also need to have faith that each present situation is the perfect reality (until if changes) that we need in order to learn our next lessons. We may need to learn inner security, sacrifice, selfless love, courage, dedication to a cause, self-esteem, forgiveness, unity, humility, selflessness or inner strength, among many other possibilities.
Some situations exist in our lives, simply to offer us these lessons and once we learn them they disappear or cease to be problems.
Please get started
I sincerely hope you will get started today or this week at the latest with this process of:
1. Remembering your vision of the world you want to live in.
2. Aligning yourselves with those virtues and qualities.
3. Uniting and cooperating with others towards common goals and causes.
4. Dedicating thought, time and energy towards those causes.
5. Praying for all ? even the perpetrators ? that we may all act for ever-higher aspects of our beings.
A prayer for our troubled times
We can all help during these difficult moments by sending out as much positive energy as possible.
When we pray, we create thought fields that affect our common reality.
It is better to thank God and all Angelic Beings for doing what we know is best, rather than ask for it. This sends out a more positive energy field of confidence that will and is happening.
Rather than cultivate negative feelings towards various leaders, we can help us all by visualizing their inner contact with their higher self and inner guidance, so that they are aligned to the highest possible good with them.
From that point on, we accept whatever happens as the best possible solution for humanity ad ourselves at this time.
Dear God and all Angelic Beings,
We thank you for enlightening us and our leaders with inner spiritual guidance so that we may all act as instruments of the highest possible good for all beings.
