believe without a shadow of a doubt that
science and peace will finally triumph over ignorance and war, and that the
nations of the earth will ultimately agree not to destroy but to build up," said
Louis Pasteur.
I'm sure all of you reading this article have the same vision, and may be wondering, "When?"
How about now? It's happening every moment in your awareness, depending on where your awareness is and what it's focused on.
My Christmas fantasy is that for one entire day, everyone on the planet will take a look within themselves and waste no time on judging or blaming others. Instead, they will have a little love and forgiveness for themselves.
People will stop judging and blaming others when they experience love for themselves. When we love ourselves and know ourselves, we are able to follow the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Many people on the planet aren't ready to love and accept others for who they are because they canıt love and accept themselves. We can't offer and experience in another what we can't tap into within us.
We treat others the way we feel about ourselves. Any hatred or limitations we hold in ourselves are acted out toward and unto others. So, if you're loving and accepting of yourself, this will be reflected in your actions. Obviously, not everyone on the planet has felt that depth of affinity for themselves.
But as Mary said in her article, we have to continue to find peace in our lives, and don't stop looking!
Find new ways to love and forgive yourself so that it's easier and easier to love others.
It can seem frustrating at the moment, but what do you have to fear if you feel 100% loving towards yourself and trust in your spiritual truth? We are eternal souls, only the body is temporary. That tells me that when I die, Iıll experience all that Iıve learned about being loving, without the seeming constraints of Earth's illusions.
But I'm not waiting until I die to have that level of spiritual freedom and contentment. I am doing it now. Itıs here now, all around us. I seek peace everywhere in my life. In nature, art, music, in people - especially the people who feel they need to control others because of their own fears. I will look for love and peace in those folks most of all.
This is not apathy, this is making choices through love
and an inner power, not through control and judgment. Be an activist, a healer,
a parent, a friend. Do it from love and honor, and seek peace. Have some
patience for the process. The peace is here now, open your eyes and heart to it
and show through your actions towards yourself and others how deeply you
experience this love and peace.
