Now, May I offer something for contemplation?
I have a friend who each morning tells me about all the
negative things on his Facebook feed or what he's thinking about the politics
of the day or what is wrong with our food! The list is endless and its
draining!
We know from science that negative energy will attract more
negative energy and positive will do the same.
One morning I said to him, "Honey, I'm not called to do
anything about those things you talk about. I'm not going to go to a rally, and
I'm not going to run for office. I'm simply not!
However, there is one thing I can do for the good of the
planet and all sentient beings and that is to live my life filled with passion
and joy! Now that may sound simplistic. But living life filled with joy and
positive thoughts will raise my energy vibration which in turn will raise the
energy vibration of those around me. We know this from giving massages, it's
called entrainment. Or just think that when you give a smile, generally you
receive one back.
I love the statement from the late Wayne Dyer:
(Paraphrased) You can't be sick
enough to make one other person healthy, you can't be poor enough to make one
other person rich, you can't be sad enough to make one other person happy, and
in this case, we can't be sad, depressed or angry enough to bring one person
back to life.
I find it helpful to try and let God, The Universe, Infinite Wisdom, Source Energy…whatever
your Higher Power is named, be in charge, knowing that EVERYTHING is happening
in Divine Order and that certainly we can have compassion and empathy for the
loved ones left behind. I the slain were light bearers on this earth and certainly they will
be missed! But mostly we grieve for ourselves.
And through what appears to be tragic circumstances, I
guarantee that we will rise up and collectively make the planet a better place.
How can we as a collective, use this senseless act of violence and turn it into
a positive? Well, we can keep on trying to best the best US possible! And that
includes setting and reaching our personal goals.
And we can continue to LOVE… and that begins
with the hardest thing to love, ourselves! Once we can all accept and love
ourselves; that's when peace and love will prevail on this planet and reach far
into the universe! My book, Everyone Wants to go to Heaven, Just Not Now, may offer some consolation.
May all sentient beings be filled with love and peace! Happy Father's Day to the amazing men in my life!!! Thank you for your love and sacrifices.
