Let’s celebrate the vision of a better way to live, the possibility that people can be healed and whole and can learn to love and care about each other, regardless of race, creed, religion, ideology, nationality, gender or whatever else has been divisive in the past.  Lift up a new way of thinking where each one of us can grow and become better human beings, giving and sharing human beings, humans who cannot even entertain the thought of hurting each other.  This first has to come about by our own healing and realization that we are each special and unique and deserve to be treated with utmost respect and dignity.  We each grow to realize that we are made in the image of love, and in our core selves, we are love and beauty.  We are each talented and gifted and unique in our own way.  When we come to that realization, we will know that one being of love cannot possibly harm another being of love, including the animals.  So let’s celebrate the beginning of a new way of thinking and being, a way that encompasses and includes the whole world in the umbrella of pure love and acceptance, thereby helping each person to grow into the self they were originally created to be.

Share the passion and love of life that can flow if it is allowed to and can create a better way of life.  We can rise to a higher place within ourselves, and we can raise each other up by celebrating and honoring the best that is in each of us.  In the old way, we sacrificed that best to a “greater good” which wasn’t really greater.  We gave our essence to something or someone else so that we could have some benefit, such as a paycheck or a stable way of life.  We all do that, but in doing so, the passion and love that flows through us is drained into an earthly system and swallowed up.  In the new way, we keep ourselves and continue to grow and become integrated human beings.  The true love and the true passion that belongs to each of us begins to flow freely and becomes a magnet to attract others to a better and higher way of life.  It is possible as we one by one grow into lighter, more real, more true people that we can become very strong.  It is in this way that the world will grow stronger.

We eagerly await the arrival of a new and better way of thinking and living.  The earth has been embroiled in greed, power struggles, dominance, etc since the beginning of time.  Life on earth has been a source of deep pain for the majority of people for far too long.  Suffering, for many, seems to be the dominant way of life, interspersed with times of joy.  Our hearts long for a new way in which love, caring and concern for ourselves and others becomes the dominant way of life.  The fountain of life that flows at the center can wash away the greed and hatred, etc, and we can drink the water of pure love and joy.  It can fill us up and change our thinking patterns.  Can we even begin to imagine a world that’s built on love and light instead of darkness and hurt.  Even the earth itself would begin to respond to these kinds of feelings and this kind of treatment.

There is a bond of oneness that already exists in our spirits.  The new way of living is a way of thinking and striving and evolving, but the rewards are immense.  In the old way, we seek to submerge our passion and our love into the traditions and institutions of the earth.  At this time, the earth is darkness.  The light of our beautiful true shining self is sucked into the darkness and swallowed up.  The darkness feeds on it to keep itself alive.  In the new way we stand whole and complete.  Passion and love flow through us and we are fed, not from earthly forms, but from the living water and the never-ending fountain of life.  We are rejuvenated and reborn and alive.  In the old way we must have distractions and something outside of ourselves to keep us from being empty and dead.  In the new way life comes from within us, and we share the love and passion freely.  Where is the need for greed and war and getting.  The need is for giving and sharing.

We celebrate the specialness of each person.  In the new way we recognize that each person has a unique gift that is needed and wanted by everyone.  No one is less than or inferior to anyone else.  All people rise on a daily basis, through all the experiences of life, to become people who are true to themselves.  Even the negative experiences are merely stepping stones to finding more truth.  We are never stagnant.  We are searching to find who we are and how we can contribute the gift we were born to contribute.  We are given no rules to follow.  No one tells us who we are or how to find ourselves, but with nurturing and caring, it unfolds, and we grow stronger.  Let us help each other become the people we are meant to be.  In this way we begin to change the world.

We celebrate freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom to be the people that we really are deep on the inside of our being.  The inner person is childlike and innocent, playful, full of life and creativity.  Our inner child cannot dance and play in an atmosphere of guilt, judgment, repression or control.  It is actually quite rare in the world as it is today to find a space to feel freedom because we are all trying so hard to be what we are supposed to be and to follow the rules that are laid out by whatever part of society we are involved with.  Almost everywhere we go in society, we encounter a group mindset that we know we must conform to in order to be a part of that group, whatever that group may be.  We know that we are not really being who we are or feeling free to express ourselves and play from the center of our being.  Let’s try to find likeminded people and make a space where we can be our playful creative child self who feels free to share openly and honestly.  Of course it takes time to grow to that place, but with our sails set in the right direction, we can accomplish that goal.

The new higher level of consciousness is about being centered in our own bodies.  Our souls come home to us and soak into our physical selves.  We become one and whole.  We come to the place where we are unable to be separate from ourselves.  We begin to share life from this point of view, but it’s quite difficult because everyone is used to thinking from a group mentality or an us mentality.  We do what we’re supposed to do because that’s what we’ve been taught.  This new way of thinking seems selfish at first, but as we begin to live this way, we realize that it’s the only way that brings lasting happiness and joy.  We each stand independent and centered in ourselves, and the fountain of life is free to flow from the center of our being.  The fountain of life is a source of playfulness, happiness and creativity.  One independent person begins to share with another independent person.  The two flowing fountains merge.  There is no joy like this joy.  This begins to spread to others on the earth.  At this point I cannot even begin to imagine how it would be to meet in groups made up of people who all share this mindset.  Dream with me a new world.

The spirit of true love is a healing spirit, a spirit that opens and makes a space for others to grow.  Love is broad and extensive and inclusive, not narrow minded and small.  It therefore opens a wider area to allow the expansion of others spirits and personas.  One person who has walked the difficult path of love and growth can make a great difference in the world.  That one person may have to find the courage to grow through an extended time of purifying and purging, of cleansing from the falseness of earth’s ways of thinking, of looking deep within.  But that person is always a part of everyone, and the new space that that brave person has opened, the new truth that that person reveals will then touch people who are on the path and help them rise to a higher, more beautiful, more loving way of living.  One by one by one, we can change the world, the world that is so full of hurting and hatred and greed and unlove.  It takes courage on our parts to rise, and many times as we are doing the work, we may feel as if we are totally alone and disconnected and unable to make a difference.  It takes faith and a strong inner compass.  Come along and join in on the journey to a higher consciousness and a much better way of living.

The new way of living seems too simple and uncomplicated to be true.  The game playing is gone.  We each do our own work honestly and to the best of our ability.  We share our gifts and talents with others.  We’re each happy to be fulfilling our purpose on earth.  The new world or consciousness is set up so that each person is free to discover and use his/her own special gift(s).  We share ourselves openly and freely in conversation because it is no longer our purpose to deceive and fraud and use.  It is our purpose to know and be known, to explain who we are and to understand the other person.  We begin to live life in peace and happiness by learning about ourselves and what we are meant to do and finding our joy from within ourselves, from the talents that lie buried within us.  The old way, with all the distractions and myriads of problems, no longer calls to us, because the new way lifts up love which satisfies.  We are the seeds that will grow to change the world.

True love spreads into our very being, into our cells and pores.  It cleans and purifies old ways of thinking and believing, old festering wounds from centuries of untruth.  It’s not an easy task to get rid of the old.  It’s been such a part of our essence since the beginning of earth’s time.  The old ways permeate every part of every society.  Love has a very large task to perform as it begins to change and teach new ways of thinking and being to this completely love starved world that we live in.  The old ways of thinking from our ego being are hidden in every crevice of our unconscious minds.  But love is strong and patient and enduring, and eventually will win.  One person, standing fully in love’s light, not giving up or backing down, can begin the change that spreads throughout the earth.  The old way cannot withstand the new way as it begins to grow and permeate little by little, one by one.  Stand strong in love’s light and the world will change.
