The World Needs Our Gentlte Touch

The World Needs Our Gentle Touch

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Offering gentleness to those around us, people we come in contact with, the animals that inhabit the planet, and to our home, Mother Earth, will help create the world we all want – where everyone is happy, feels fulfilled and empowered, and has all they need to survive and thrive –mentally, physically, and spiritually. Gentleness is one of the main qualities of love.

People Need a Rekindling of the Love Within that Is Inherent in All of Us

Most of us have, or have had, a weak connection to the love we all hold within our hearts, and therefore have been unable to experience the full benefit of this connection – or to express it fully out into the world. Some of us have worked to strengthen it and are reaping the benefits, but many of us have not been able to.

We all emerged from love, and at our core we are all still connected to that love. However, over time, as Humanity’s history played out, our connection to the love weakened, and we became unable to experience pure love and the peace, joy, and gentleness it holds.

Whereas once we naturally felt our connection to one another and were able to share in and express love’s qualities, throughout Humanity’s decline we also lost our ability to extend it to others, and our sense of Oneness faded from our consciousness.

This article/blog post is based on concepts in my book Your Journey to Peace, Bridging the Gap Between Religion, Spirituality, Psychology, and Science. Book Synopsis is found here).

Archetypes Act As Conduits to Help Us, and to Strengthen Latent Qualities Within Us

Our past history shows that gentleness, as well as many of the other qualities of love, was not valued by those who held the power – nor was it rewarded. Power, control, and wealth were what was valued, and these require might. Gentleness and might are not congruent.

People struggled to live, and the effects on our psyches of not living under the umbrella of unconditional love was brought forth through the generations.

Attempting to rid ourselves of the emotional and spiritual pain of being unfairly and/or cruelly treated, we projected our hurts and frustrations onto others in unloving, selfish, impatient, judgmental, and even cruel ways. This created emotional wounds to those around us – and the cycle continued.

These unloving ways that were directed at us caused us to contract emotionally and we put up barriers to our hearts. The subtler part of ourselves became overshadowed by the harsher realities, and our connection to the love within further weakened, as did our sense of Oneness with others.

When we are distanced from the love within, we are unable to fully accept love from others or express unconditional love out into the world. When our ability to feel and extend love has been snuffed out, we need help rekindling it. Offering kindness, compassion, understanding, and consideration to others comes through as gentle love. And these expressions of love can overlap depending on the situation, as they are not mutually exclusive.

Offering some form of gentleness to everyone we come in contact with will help strengthen the connection to the love within for some people; it may even give enough of a flicker to start to rekindle it in others whose connection is virtually non-existent.

We offer gentle love by our approach as much as by our actions. Here are a few examples of expressing it, as well as the benefits to the receiver:

  • Being kind to all who cross our path; this reminds people there is still love and kindness in the world – even if they don’t feel it within themselves. It may even encourage them to extend it to others;
  • Being helpful and considerate towards people who are in pain, sick, depressed, are in any kind of distress, or are experiencing any type of difficult circumstances; this makes them feel loved and cared about. This is much needed in our busy world today where health care is strained, and family and friends are often far away and/or busy with their own responsibilities to give loved ones the help or attention they need;
  • Being compassionate towards people who have an addiction, or have made bad choices, and are experiencing the repercussions or find themselves in difficult circumstances because of it; this makes them feel loved despite their dysfunctional behavior, and can open the door to them for self-forgiveness – the first step to inner-healing;
  • Speaking kindly to others – those we have similarities with – and those we do not; this helps people feel valued for who they are;

  • Speaking kindly about others, or groups of people being discussed – those we have similarities with – and those we do not; this sends positivity out into the world in general, and helps create a positive vibration around the particular group being discussed – who may badly need uplifting reinforcement; 
  • Being accepting to all – no matter how and in what way they are different than we are; this encourages people to be authentic and express who they are – without trepidation or fear; 
  • Making peace within our self regarding what others have done to us, or for what we expected of them or they promised to do and did not; letting go of our anger allows us to connect more fully to the love within our self – for our benefit, but this also benefits the world as we are then able to extend love more easily to others;
  • Forgiving others for what they have or have not done; this builds or rebuilds bridges with people we have had conflicts with and opens the door for harmonious relationships; it also gives them more of an impetus to forgive themselves;
  • Offering a helping hand or sharing what we have – just because we can, and with humility; this uplifts people as it allows them to not feel alone in their struggles, and helps them to trust that their needs will be provided for;
  • Giving the other our full attention when in a one-on-one situation/discussion; this helps the person feel valued;
  • Really listening when another is expressing him or her self – with patience, and without interrupting, giving our opinion, or trying to fix things, unless asked; this gives the other the time to fully express him or her self and allows for their feelings to be validated;

We have all come from the same history of what Humanity perpetuated, but were unaware we were carrying forward baggage that created attitudes and behaviors that either hurt our self or others. Most of us have experienced hurts, pains, or unwelcome repercussions or circumstances – either from generational or cultural influences, our own bad choices, or at the hands of others. And many of us have been the perpetrators and hurt others.

So, we need to forgive ourselves for what we have done, or not done – to ourselves and to others. And we need to be generous to each other and extend true and authentic forgiveness to those who have acted badly towards us, others, or the world. We need to offer the gentle hand of reconciliation – an olive branch – whenever possible. Being the recipient of a gentle gesture can open our hearts so that we too can forgive.

When we are offered gentleness, it helps us to heal the wounds of hurts or unwanted circumstance that caused us to be disconnected to the love within. The more we offer gentleness and other qualities of love to others, the faster we will all be able to reconnect to the love within and embrace its benefits for ourselves.

The more of us who extend love out into the world, the faster we will be able to create the world we all want. As well as offering gentleness to people, we also have to offer it to the animals on our planet.

The Animals Who Share the Planet With Us

Animals share the planet with us to help us, to feed us, to offer us love, and help us grow spiritually. But just like with us, many have been victims of cruelty – for sport, for food, for greed, and even simply because of ignorance and meanness.

Animals have always helped us with our crops and for getting around. And so long as we treat them with kindness, ensure they are given what they need to be warm, safe, and healthy, and train them firmly, but gently, we are using them as intended.

Properly and kindly trained animals that are well looked after and not overworked will reward us with good work. They will have served their purpose. We must ensure that as a society we value the importance of respecting the animals that help us.

Humans have hunted for eons. In the past, it was for our survival – for food, clothing, and shelter. And it was a normal practice to use the animals fully, and we often made offerings to the gods of our tribes as gratitude. In our more recent history, we have hunted for sport, rather than necessity.

Sometimes this was done with integrity towards the animal and we used the meat and the skins, but at other time we were cruel and disrespected them. We are moving away from hunting for sport for the sake of killing, but we have to continue to support efforts to overturn this practice.

The commercialization of our meat and dairy products along with the proliferation of our demands for a variety of foodstuffs at our fingertips brought about huge industries and this created immense competition.

This, along with the greed of some of the producers, created the need to cut corners, and cost efficient but sometimes cruel and inhumane practices toward the animals were created. Since as a society we will still continue to eat meat – for at least a while longer, we must ensure we find our way back to respectful and humane ways of rearing and slaughtering the animals for our tables.

Our domestic animals offer us much needed unconditional love. Our pets fill our homes with fun, love, and laughter. However, many domestic animals are mistreated, while many others are abandoned.

We must ensure we continue to educate people on the responsibilities of owning a pet, of the necessity of having them spayed unless we have definite plans for their offspring, and continue to monitor those who profit from looking after our domestic animals.

Although visiting zoos and aquariums offers families a fun outing and is a wonderful learning experience for children, we have become aware of the unfairness of caging animals for our pleasure. We must ensure that those already in captivity are well looked after – in all ways, and continue to question practices that once seemed acceptable, but no longer are.

Some animals and mammals are also known to be spiritually advanced. People who have swan with the dolphins often say they get a feeling they are not the wisest in the water. Our scientists tell us that whales may be the most intelligent mammals on the planet. And most who own a horse say that a special bond is created between the rider and the animal. Just spending time with these advanced beings can open pathways to our heart. We must ensure we keep these brilliant mammals safe and flourishing.

We must be gentle with the animals, mammals, birds and all other life forms that share the planet with us. We must understand the importance of giving voice to and supporting efforts against the cruelty to all of them – whether for profit, pleasure, or sport, or to research that only benefits us.

There are many more animals, mammals, and small creatures than those I have mentioned that we treat badly – for many reasons, and we need to continue to uncover and find ways to alleviate any cruel ways we treat all those we share the planet with.

Our Home; Mother Earth

Our planet, Gaia, is a living breathing organism. The Indigenous peoples know this. And just like with each other and with the animals who walk the earth, we have abused her. She too needs our gentleness.

In past times, we held a reciprocal relationship with Gaia. She gave to us through her bounty. We took and shared  her gifts – with gratitude, and we looked after her. The Indigenous peoples still adhere to this concept of reciprocity, and still believe in the premise of “enough.”

Our planet has suffered physically through industrialization and our greed. We have been inconsiderate of her air, water, land, forests, and resources.

We are now seeing the repercussions of many of the decisions made decades ago. Some of these we made unaware of the long-term consequences; others, we knew there would be consequences and either ignored or buried the research.

We have gotten used to the many luxuries that we now consider our right – many of them attained at her expense. We have gone beyond the concept of “enough.”

Our planet has also suffered from the emotional abuses we have put upon her. All the unfairness, judgments, prejudices, hate, injustices, and cruelty we have directed towards each other, groups of people, like through genocides and wars, or even towards the animals have affected her. Because she is a living, breathing organism and it all happened within her boundaries, she too has suffered when those living upon her suffered.

Gaia, Mother Earth, our beautiful planet has had to shrug off all of these physical and emotional abuses. And even though she is still in an evolutionary stage and some upheavals are normal, many of the recent turbulent weather patterns are because of her releasing this negative energy we have put upon her.

She too requires our gentleness to help her overcome what she has suffered. It is urgent that we now not only consider her air, water, land, forests, and resources when making our current decisions, but also aim to repair damage already done to her.

We Are All Doing Our Little Parts – One Way Or Another

We have to work on two different levels to bring about the world we all want where love, peace, compassion, kindness, gentleness, fairness, and equality reign, and where we look after everyone and care for everything on the planet, including Gaia herself. We need to work on both the practical and spiritual levels.

There is enough in world to go around, and we have the know-how to ensure everyone on the planet has what they need to be healthy and thrive. Society needs to address the many practical issues that are hindering us bringing this about.

We must ensure people are and feel safe, have enough food and clean water to become and stay healthy, and continue to work on everyone having access to sanitary plumbing systems.

Working towards solving these issues is paramount to making the necessary changes, but we also have to create the atmosphere to inspire people to do so.

We do this by raising the awareness about the issues, while at the same time raising the consciousness of the planet – raising its vibration, which we do through every positive and uplifting thought, word, and deed.

This will help us rekindle the feelings of love within and connectedness to each other – to the Oneness we are all a part of, and inspire us to work towards the good of all.

There is a lot of need in the world – individually and collectively, and nobody can answer it all: we can only do our little bit.

And we must be careful not to judge what people are, or don’t seem to be doing to bring it about. Most of us are doing something to help Humanity and the planet – in one way or another. Some efforts have a large visible impact; most do not.

From monks and yogis spending their days in prayer and meditation, to everyday people doing their best to live their lives with joy, passion, compassion, kindness, acceptance, and/or integrity, to people working for animal and human rights, to those working in associations and governments for the betterment of us all, to those who rally others into action – all of this positive energy is working in tandem to get things done directly, and/or raise the vibration of the planet so that we continue to feel inspired to move us all forward.

Below is a peek at a bit inside the book:

All of Humanity’s issues arise from the false belief of our separateness from Source. (Introduction)

Humanity’s history has been based on conditional love. This has created conflicting messages within us, because we extol the virtues of love, but do not uphold them. (Chapter 1)

Feeling peace and being happy and empowered requires that we believe in our hearts that we deserve to feel peaceful, and be happy and empowered. (Chapter 3)

Our capacity to love others is in direct relationship to how much we love ourselves. (Chapter 3, What We Can Do About It).

Our Relationships Are Pre-set Soul Contracts: The highest purpose of our relationships is to work out our unconscious influences: our fears, neediness, vulnerabilities, misperceptions, and false notions about love. They are set up to bring these misalignments from our True Self to the surface – for healing. This is why we find our close relationships so difficult.  (Chapter 5, Relationships)

Being somewhat enlightened means that we have some awareness of the cause and effect of our thoughts, attitude, and actions, and of our interconnectedness. (Chapter 6, Words, Symbols, Rituals, Concepts, Prayers).

Our need to reconcile what we put upon the Indigenous peoples is in direct relationship to our countrys’ successful advancements. (Chapter 9, The Planet and Abundance)

At levels beyond our awareness we chose to be here at this time of ‘The Shift’ to help bring about our and Gais’s Ascensions. (Chapter 10, Ascension).

Reconciling the “Truth of Who We Are” With the “Truth of Who We are Being” Is what Will Set Us Free  

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Truth Will Set You Free is a well-known saying that has been used for ages and in many contexts. It’s original meaning was that connecting to the truth of who we are will set us free. We all emerged from love, and at our core we are all still connected to that pure unconditional love – this is our truth. However, eons ago this connection became weakened as some embraced attitudes not of love. As these played out we became ensnared in unloving, aggressive, and cruel attitudes and behaviors. Eventually these became the norm.

(This article is based on and an expansion of various concepts in my book, Your Journey to Peace, Bridging the Gap Between Religion, Spirituality, Psychology, and  Science. (Available in print and e-book formats). The chapter titles are listed in the Book Synopsis found above … or at: https://yourjourneytopeace.com/book-synopsis/ . The book store is found at: https://yourjourneytopeace.com/the-book-store/)

We still hold a spark of our truth – that unconditional love – within our hearts, but it is often buried deep under the layers of the effects the negative attitudes Humanity embraced. (There are more details of how this all came about at the end of the article). Most individuals today are somewhat connected to the love within, or at one time or another have had a memory of that spark awakened. A baby’s smile, a spectacular sunset, or a beautiful or powerful piece of music can reawaken it within us.

This connection to our truth allows us to feel love, be happy, feel empowered, and to express love out into the world. And when we do so more of the same is returned to us. It is a wonderful way to live. If everyone was able to connect to the truth of who they are and experience its benefits we wouldn’t have any conflicts in the world.

When our connection to our truth – the love within – is strong it can express itself in many ways. Here are some:

  • We are happy, positive, and feel at peace with our self;
  • Life feels like a wonderful challenge, or a game;
  • We can tap into joy; we seek out what brings us joy;
  • We create balance in our life; we may work hard, but know when to pull back to re-energize our self;
  • We feel empowered, and are able to stand up for our self;
  • We are self-assured, and know what we want in life;
  • We are confident, assured enough to go after what we want in life, and can easily connect to our life/soul purpose;
  • We respond calmly to negativity in people or disagreeable situations (instead of reacting negatively);
  • Our attitudes and actions create harmony around us; we aim to unify and reconcile;
  • We uplift others;
  • Our relationships are harmonious;
  • We can extend love, compassion, and acceptance to others;
  • We help others when asked, or when needed, but avoid getting involved in the drama of situations;
  • We are genuinely happy for others’ accomplishments.

This is our potential. It is actually our inheritance to be able to feel and therefore act in loving ways. However, very few of us are completely connected to the truth of who we are, and so most of us cannot feel or express all of its qualities. Many of us cannot feel or express many of them. And still some of us cannot connect to or express any of love’s qualities.

This is simply a result of being trapped in the negative aspects of what Humanity as a whole created in the past, and then unknowingly perpetrated. If we are not happy, often feel angry or frustrated with our self, others, or situations, do not feel empowered in life, and/or do not have harmonious relationships our connection to our truth is weak. Reconciling the truth of who we are with the truth of who we are being can strengthen it.

It was Jesus who originally spoke the words “the truth will set you free” to his listeners. He further explained that they must turn away from sin and follow his teachings, such as being loving, compassionate, and forgiving. Today we do not talk of sin as the people in those days did, but rather of being misaligned from our truth  ̶  the love within  ̶  the love Jesus spoke of, was attuned to, and was encouraging his followers to align with. Any negative behaviors, or “sinning ways” as the ancients and some still call it, are the result of this misalignment.

Embracing love’s qualities, like being loving, compassionate, and forgiving aligns us to the love within  ̶  the truth of who we are. When we cannot, or will not, adhere to these or other concepts of love, we are misaligned from our truth. All of our issues arise from being misaligned from this love we emerged from.

The Masters came to teach us to realign with that love. However, in doing so they also had to point out how being misaligned showed up. We interpreted this as judgment, but they were simply showing us how our attitudes and behaviors are expressions of us being aligned or misaligned to our truth so that we could make any necessary changes and reap the benefits of being aligned to it.

To experience the benefits of connecting to the love within the truth of who we are we have to ensure we are aligned with love’s qualities. Our thoughts, attitudes, words, behaviors, and ways of being in and in response to the world dictate what we are aligned to. When they align with the concepts of love, love and its qualities will flow through us, and much of our life will be positive: it will be enjoyable and satisfying. When our approach to life and the world does not align with the concepts of love, much of our life will be negative: we will find it frustrating and difficult.

Most of us have been affected one way or another by the negativity and divisive attitudes Humanity passed on through the generations. For some of us this affected our life directly through harsh, unloving or controlling ways, mental and/or physical abuse, or even cruelty, and we have had to deal with the repercussions. For others of us the influence was subtler, and limitation, manipulation, biases and prejudices, the need to play by outdated or strict societal rules, and many other unempowering attitudes were ingrained into us – either about us or others. Many limiting shoulds and should nots developed from these influences. This all created negative unconscious influences within us that manifest in our thought patterns, attitudes, what we believe, how we behave, and even our words, tone, and body language when communicating with others.

Many of us have dealt with the issues that have arisen and overcome our propensity to negativity that either hurt us, or that we aimed at others. But many of us have not dealt with the effects of what was put upon us. We may not have known how to, or, we may not even have known that we could, or should, feel, react, or behave any other way than what arises in us – what we default to. Unconscious negative influences can cause us to be overly-sensitive, reactionary, and act aggressively, while at the same time defensive of how we are being.

These ways of being in the world we unknowingly inherited can affect us directly, impact our relationships, or influence how we view, navigate, or deal with the world. But it is not our fault! We did not know we were carrying, or passing on, leftover baggage from a past we were not even a part of. However, we have recently learned that we can overcome past influences.

By undertaking practices to connect to the truth of who we are, while at the same time acknowledge any thoughts, words, attitudes, or behaviors that are not of love and consciously direct them to align with the qualities of love we strengthen our connection to it. This is the reconciling of the truth of who we are with the truth of who we are being.

We have always had this ability to choose, and change if necessary, what we align with and thereby create the life we want, but the knowledge of it was lost to us over the ages. It was actually hidden from us by those in power to control us.

If we do not have or are not who we want to be in life we can ask our self: Who we are being? Recognizing who we are being allows us to acknowledge where we are misaligned from the truth of who we are – and therefore the love within it. Understanding that we are love at our core but have somehow become misaligned from it, we can examine how our thoughts, words, attitudes, and actions may be holding that misalignment in place and keeping us from becoming our Best Self. Most of us have or have had unconscious influences that cause us to feel, react, or act badly. And many of these are subtle and hard to pinpoint. Below are a few examples.

We may feel justified in our demands for attention from a loved one and often feel hurt when they do meet our emotional needs, but we may actually be overly needy because of a lack of attention from an emotionally distant upbringing that we never addressed. We may think we are not prejudice towards a particular group of people, but upon re-examination or by reading about or listening to those who have lived with the prejudice, we find that we are – not overtly in our actions, but in the subtle nuanced ways attitudes or even body language can slip into how we address others or view the world.

We now understand  the need to address our issues so that we can feel happy, be empowered, and live harmoniously with others. And society is now ready to acknowledge, deal with, and heal the unfairness and inequalities we have put upon many groups of people, as the full scope of the abuse and prejudice is now all being brought to the surface. However, our propensity to be negative, judgmental, and prejudice is insidious. We must become aware of our tendencies and consciously address and decide to change them. We must shift our default position – and this takes time. So we have to be patient with ourselves and others as we all learn to be more fair and loving towards all people.

Below are some comparisons of attitudes and behaviors that come from being connected to our truth with others that express themselves when we are not connected to our truth. These can help validate that our connection is strong, remind us of how far we have come if we have been working on self-improvement, or even show us an area that we can work on to help us become all that we were meant to be.

  • Am I generally happy, or do I often feel discouraged, listless, depressed, or lack the energy to do things.
  • Do I have a positive, optimistic outlook on life in general, or am I negative and pessimistic?
  • Am I loving and accepting towards myself, or am I critical and judgmental of how I think and behave?
  • Do I allow myself to embrace joy and small pleasures in life, or do I feel these have no value?
  • Can I connect to joy, or do I know how to or even believe in or understand the concept of joy?
  • Do I do my best and then let things fall into place, or do I try and control or micromanage everything around me leaving me frustrated, exhausted, and even angry at those around me for not doing what I feel is their part?
  • Am I generally easy-going and respond calmly to people and events, or do I push against everything, create barriers, and make things more difficult than they need be?
  • Do I take criticism or disappointment in stride, or do I take things personally and easily feel hurt, and/or lash out?
  • Do I calmly and confidently address hurts, unfairness, and disappointment, or do I bury my feelings and emotions?
  • Do my thoughts, words, attitudes, or actions promote positive outcomes, uplift others, and create unity and harmony in my sphere, or do they create negativity, tear others down, and create conflict and divisiveness around me?
  • Can I see the best in people, or am I inclined to focus on others’ misalignments from their truth?
  • Am I loving and accepting towards others, or am I judgmental of them?
  • Am I accepting of others’ preferences, habits, or idiosyncrasies, or do I belittle and criticize them for their different ways than mine?
  • Can I discuss calmly, or am I combative and anger easily?
  • Do I empower others, or do I diminish and/or try to control them?
  • Do I take responsibility for my errors or face situations that simply arise, or do I blame others, God, or …?
  • Can I forgive easily, or am I resentful, hold grudges or am vengeful?
  • Do I create harmony in my relationships, or am I negative and confrontational often creating discord with those close to me?

Once we know where we are misaligned from our truth we can work on shifting any attitudes or misperceptions about life, others, or the world that are keeping us from being our Best Self. When we are stuck in one or more negative attitudes we usually can’t pin-point exactly what led to it coming about – nor do we need to. This tendency has been brought forward from Humanity’s past and infused into our familial, social, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

For us here now, it is usually one or some combination of these past influences combined with our innate personalities that has caused an attitude or behavior that has kept us misaligned from the love within. But we can shift our attitudes, change our behaviors, and positively affect how we feel and how life unfolds. Getting professional help if we are deeply stuck in negativity or have a serious addiction is always recommended.

Consciously aligning with the concepts of love moves us closer to aligning with it – to our truth – the truth of who we are. The more we embrace what makes us happy and brings us joy the more we are connecting to the love within. However, we have to believe that feeling good, being happy, experiencing joy, and being empowered in life is not only an option and our inheritance, but our raison d’être.

The more we connect to the love within, the more we can extend it to others and out into the world. The more we extend love outwards, the more it is returned to us. We must consciously take the first few steps to being more loving, grateful, positive, and uplifting, but we will soon see the benefits as our life will start to flourish.

What Caused the Disconnect from Our Truth?

Eons ago, and at levels beyond our awareness, choices were made that went against love – against our true nature. We lost our connection to the concept of unconditional love, the Oneness inherent in it, and the power of unity consciousness. Humanity became ensnared in negativity (fear, hate, greed, blame, pride, judgment, prejudice, cruelty, and a belief in lack, etc.) and we adopted attitudes and actions in response for survival. This caused our connection to the love within and the power it held to fade.

Whereas once we responded with empowerment, limitlessness, and unity, a new normal started to develop, and we began to react in fear, as victims, embracing divisive attitudes, and becoming limited in our expectations. These attitudes perpetrated themselves throughout history, and our sense of empowerment and expectations diminished to such an extent that we forgot there was any other way to approach life – even when there was no threat or limits put on us. We forgot about the Oneness paradigm – that empowering others ultimately empowers us as it strengthens our connection to unconditional love.

To reconnect to the truth of who we are we have to embrace and express love’s qualities, and break through any barriers that now stand in the way to aligning with it. We break through these barriers by acknowledging and understanding the truth of who we are being – so that we can overcome any false premises they are built upon, like I am …; I can’t …; he/she is …; I shouldn’t …; he/she shouldn’t …; they are …; they shouldn’t …; I-am-better-than-you; and we-are-better-than-them, and reclaim our sense of empowerment, limitlessness, and unity consciousness.

Below is a peek at a little more inside the book:

Humanity is going through a Shift. It is our cosmic time to wake up from the illusion of our separateness from the Oneness we emerged from – and from our separateness form each other. (Introduction).

Improving our attitudes helps change the world, as every shift it attitude affects the vibration of the Planet as a whole. (Introduction)

What Is Held in Our Minds Is Reflected onto the World Stage … The Importance of Embracing Unity Consciousness: (Chapter 3, What We Can Do About It).

Our capacity to love others is in direct relationship to how much we love ourselves. (Chapter 3, What We Can Do About It)

We Must Grow Up to Become the Parents Our Children Need (Chapter 5, Relationships)

Being somewhat enlightened means that we have some awareness of the cause and effect of our thoughts, attitude, and actions, and of our interconnectedness. (Chapter 6, Words, Symbols, Rituals, Concepts, Prayers).

We can reconcile our apparent relationship with extra-terrestrials with our belief systems. (Chapter 7, Science).

The electromagnetic fields we create from our heart chakras are at least forty times stronger than those created from our brains. (Chapter 8, Health and Healing; Death and Dying).
