Dear Lightworkers,

To emanate the energy from the spiritual choice, it is necessary to give up the grip of the limiting ego. Challenge the way you see things and confront routines. Give up fixed viewpoints and look carefully behind each opinion and point of view.  Consider the source of your judgment and be open to other options and new possibilities.

You cannot be strong without giving up self-righteousness. Self-righteousness is the linchpin for unraveling the entire ego structure. The ego’s belief or desire to be superior to fellow human beings is an attempt to overcome the sense of worthlessness by denying it or projecting it onto others.

This pervasive ego strategy, employed by the multitudes, is the source of wars at all levels.  The ego’s effort to exonerate itself escalates the drama and dissension. It is time to shatter these deadlocks of blame and persecution by seeing that all interactions are a process of reciprocity. The mutual dynamic is like a dance of pain and suffering between two people, each unwilling to stop. 

Every pain holds the seed of freedom and peace, if felt and experienced, rather than denied or projected onto another.  What is vehemently defended holds the secret to your emancipation. When you defend yourself it intensifies the grip of fear.  If you but knew this, you would put down your sword and shield immediately.  Behind your fear of pain and condemnation you will find the relief your soul desires.

Recognize that the obstacles you face are opportunities disguised as problems.  They are an opening to your freedom.  Pronounce truth and allow others the freedom to choose their own reactions or responses. Do not give into self doubt but honor yourself and your experiences.  Trust that your emotions are telling you the lessons you came here to learn. Allow the feelings from your experiences to emerge so that they can be faced and released. Stop looking for peace and love outside yourself.  Discover true inner peace, love and joy by looking at the very pain you seek to avoid.

You believe that if you felt your pain fully, it would destroy you. You are running from a dreaded and impending wave of fear that you believe will come crashing down on you, crushing you into oblivion. But running is exhausting. The huge darkness cast upon you by the relentless wave is like a cloud of suffering, blocking the light and love you want in your life.  Stop, turn, and face your worst fear.  When you do, you will find, to your utter relief, the foreboding wave is gently lapping against the shore.

To accelerate your growth and personal happiness, learn that any sense of fear, panic, pain or resistance are indicators of the parts of yourself that need healing.  Know that your emotions are not caused by another but are coming from your own thoughts and stories of who you think you are.  It is not true.  Welcome your feelings and sensations instead of refusing to acknowledge them. Be gentle with yourself.  And most importantly, give up claims of self-righteousness. They prevent your feelings from arising, they block your inner path to freedom and they alienate your fellow human beings.

Antidote for Poisonous Ideas November 13, 2009

Dear Lightworkers,

Tremendous efforts are needed to dissuade the common theme of attack and overcome held by so many people.  Peace can never come from overcoming others.  Understanding  relationships and finding radical new ways to achieve peace are necessary for the pursuant of freedom.

It is important to recognize the dynamic of mutual engagement.  Whether between individuals, groups or whole nations, it takes both sides to hold the relationship together.  As an example, a shoe lace is intertwined as it laces the shoe with adjoining pressure, pulling the parts of the shoe together.  This automatically tightens the grip of both sides of the shoe.  This joint pressure holds the shoe together.  But when the pressure becomes unbearable, the lace breaks—“the tie that binds them”.  This breaking or bursting is usually see as the fault of the other but is actually the result of both sides pulling against each other—intertwined needs and emotions that keep them engaged.  It is not love that binds them; it is fear.  

 Trying to overcome the other person, group or nation, by intensifying the pressure always results in disruptions and even wars. Warring nations have been held in the same pull of intertwined relationships for centuries.

Poisoned attitudes and ideas for achieving supremacy are delivered to each other and through the media.  Poisonous ideas, like venom, need an antidote to dilute their power.  This passage of time requires people taking a stand for peace, with conviction;  not just politely standing by waiting to see what will happen.

When you pronounce Truth it will be recognized. Freedom is just that—freedom from fear and freedom of speech.  Persevere in spreading a message of peace, love and harmony. Do not give others authority over you or be beguiled by false platitudes.

Why are people afraid to take a stand?  It stems from fear of punitive action from those in authority.  Childhood experiences of being scolded by a teacher or older authority, have conditioned people to be afraid to speak the truth or take a stand against the prevailing culture.  Reclaim your own authority, your inner spiritual greatness.

Ask the question, when does a defense become the offence?  When are we the perpetrators, and when are we the perpetrated upon?  Every time we attack another, be it in families, work or the world, we tighten the interlaced pressure that will finally burst.

Be a shining example to the world of acceptance, compassion and integrity. Open hearts with a divine message, bless those before you and forgive your enemies.  Prepare a way for a new generation and be passionate in your commitment to deliver Truth. Truth will cut through the confusion like the sun breaking through the clouds. Bask in the sunshine of our approval and share that same light of love and forgiveness with others.  Blessed are you who do God’s work.
