There always seems to be an issue somewhere in the world that
breeds violence against one fraction of society over another. This often creates
acts retaliation, and is a vicious cycle that divides us and causes so much
pain – especially for those left feeling disenfranchised.
There’s a lot more I could say on the subject, but for now I
choose to focus on what Spirit says that we can do individually to create
change in ourselves and bring a much needed shift of awareness to our global
family. As this week’s message says, we are one – whether some of us like that
idea or not – and each of us are a collective part of humanity. Every action we
take causes a ripple effect. If you don’t think you’re powerful enough to have
an effect on anyone I challenge you to pay attention next time you’re feeling
chaotic inside vs. at peace and see how it affects those around you. You can
bet that your ripple effect was vastly different in each instance.
As Spirit’s message tells us, the way to forge a deeper connection
of oneness is through peace. It has to start with each of us, individually. Yes
there will still be violence in the world, but it’s time to tip the scales – one
by one.
Let’s all rise to the occasion so we can shine a brighter
light of peace.
With
Love.

It is by embracing the
perspective of oneness that an individual moves out of fear and judgment of
others and into a state of inclusiveness. Doing so breaks one free of the
self-imposed barriers that block the possibility of a peaceful society. Doing
so creates true freedom for the individual.

Q: How can we change to the
perspective of oneness when so much violence stems from generations of
deep-seated judgment against those perceived as different?
A.
Is it in bringing conscious awareness to the desire for peace. It is to move
through the feelings of discomfort and reach out to those who you do not
understand. It is in choosing to broaden the perspective through connection. It
is to instill a sense of inner-peace through peaceful practices. When one chooses
peace as a way of life their ability to find compassion for another expands. It
is from this peaceful mind that one creates the courage to step outside of current
convention and bring greater understanding. It is this understanding that
builds trust. It is this trust that builds a sense of oneness.
