It had to happen this way.

Because the majority is distracted and entangled by what never matters in the end [details], the typical reaction to an offense is retaliation. Considering retaliation is to make a counterattack and return like for like, especially evil for evil, to expect a positive outcome confirms the lesson has yet to be learned. 

To expect a positive outcome from a negative situation, using a reactive formula is a clear indication the mind has been taken over by ego. Retaliation is a decision made by emotion which is a sign of immaturity.  Experience is required for correction, not age.

Whenever ego gets involved, the focus is no longer about the general welfare of the whole. On the contrary, the slightest indication of ego is all that's needed for conflict and drama to soon follow. This is because ego always has something to prove, Truth, on the other hand doesn't.

Because Truth is what it is, has never changed and will never change, it alone is what gives Hope. It is only when reminded of Truth that retaliation is clearly seen as harmful and not helpful. Truth does not react. Truth stands firm in its foundation of LOVE. 

Because LOVE is what it is, has never changed and will never change, it alone is what brings Peace, first of the mind, which is then experienced on earth. Choose to remember who You Really are, LOVE, and the Power of Truth will remind you there is never a valid reason to retaliate. Why? Because details never matter when it comes to LOVE. Peace

You are what you SEE!

What we're seeing reported on the news, printed in the newspapers, posted on social media is merely a reflection of what is happening in the mind.  Because WE (human beings) have forgotten the True nature of our BEingness, LOVE, fear has set in. It is always at this point that "problems" are to be expected because WE have been tricked by fear. 

The  good news is because there is nothing to fear, half the problem is already solved! The point is to remember that the next time you're face to face with fear! Because ego is the culprit and uses fear to dominate, intimidate, terrorize, confuse, control, attack, etc., it leaves little to wonder why WE see such madness in the news and feel so hopeless as a result. 

The only solution to what may seem like a negative situation, no matter how challenging, is to remember Truth. Truth will always make crystal clear what ego disguised with layers and layers of lies. One must however be willing to see Truth, by accepting what it is. Denial is another trick ego uses in moments of desperation in order to not face Truth.

Truth is, WE, the entire human race, are ONE and the same - LOVE. Truth is, only LOVE is Real. Truth is, because Man - that includes women, children, gay, straight, ALL religions and no religion, ALL races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, excluding no one, was created in His image (LOVE). 

Choose to remember the Power within, LOVE, and you will see clearly the damage caused by fear - and over what? Nothing. Culprit? Ego. 

You are LOVE. Remember this and remind others of this too! LOVE recognizes LOVE. Because LOVE is a state of BEing, words are not necessary. Because LOVE is what it is, (Truth) it requires nothing, asks for nothing and expects nothing. Because LOVE poses no threat, LOVE fears nothing. That's YOU! Peace

My hands are tied.

Although it is quite apparent help is needed to end the madness of inhumane behavior toward another the common response is to do the opposite - watch, in horror!

Because WE (humanity) have lost "sight" of Truth, the experience of HELL (right here) on earth is reported daily. Live footage of women and children executed in broad daylight. An infant covered in blood and soot, lifeless in his fathers hands. The fathers eyes, empty, as if saying to the cameras "look at what we have become!"

Because Truth is what it is - has never changed and will never change - Truth is the only way to stop the insanity!! Part of the insanity is to have the ability to help but choose to not for (fear) of ten million reasons, of which not one will justify that reason. "We would but that is beyond our jurisdiction, our hands are tied" is one of the most commonly known cop outs!

It's been said "we're running out of time" however because NOW is all one ever really has, it is to be completely understood the time to help/act is always NOW. The ability to help is a privilege and when lived in Gratitude by helping when help is needed, the benefits (blessings) are multiplied beyond just those directly impacted.

Truth is WE (human beings) are LOVE. LOVE is the essence of our True nature - WE just forgot. Drop down your guard. There is nothing to fear. LOVE is not overbearing. LOVE poses no threat. LOVE loosens ALL unwanted ties. LOVE is what binds us together because Truth is, WE are ONE. Peace

As within, so without.

Because WE (the entire human race) create  - both good and bad - with the thoughts we entertain in the mind, the issue is not with the results thoughts produce but rather the reaction to them, because reactions cause problems.

Because WE (the entire human race) have forgotten Who WE Really are, fear takes over. It's from here, Denial sets in and plays a major role in using every opportunity to distract and keep the mind from (remembering) Truth.

Denial is precisely what has been and continues to be one of the fundamental reasons Suffering continues to plague mankind! To identify with/as anything and/or anyone is to separate out and this is where conflict comes in to play. Inferiority/Superiority, seniority, idolization, etc., are all forms of ego in disguise...don't be fooled!

What has been forgotten is the fact that WE are ONE and the same. In spite of what appears to be our "differences," (race, religion, sexuality, gender, etc.,) this fact will remain the same always and for ever. Unless and until Truth is clearly recognized and fully accepted for what it Really is, (LOVE,) Suffering will continue to loom as a constant reminder that only LOVE brings Peace.

Choose to remember Who You Really are, LOVE so to BE the Peace WE (the entire human race) eagerly desire to experience. This is done by reconnecting with Your inner Power (LOVE). Staying in this state (however brief) is where positive, effective change begins - first in the mind, then reflected outwardly where it's results, "miracles," are  manifested!

It ALL begins on the inside (first). Ego reacts to everything and makes a huge deal about nothing which causes problems.  LOVE responds to ALL because LOVE is the only solution. Peace

Power is in the WHOLE.

The notion that strength is found in numbers derives from the fact that Power is found in the WHOLE. To separate (divide) is precisely the cause of weakness considering WE (the entire human race) are ONE and so indivisible.

Because WE (the entire human race) forget Truth doesn't change Truth however what it does is make space for ego to slide in, take over and start making problems where there were none. Problems are brought on by conflict and ego is the root cause of ALL conflict.

Remember the Truth about Who You Really are (LOVE) and You will see conflict as clear as day, a mile  away! LOVE reminds You to see conflict for what it Really is, a cry for help! Only when LOVE is offered the chance to respond in Truth - it knows no other state - is ego forced to retreat (of its own accord). The light of Truth reveals, what seems to be threatening in the dark shadows of fear, what is really nothing but lies!  It was ALL made up (by ego) while WE (the entire human race) were  lost in fear.

Because Truth doesn't change, it isn't taught - its innately within each and every living creature. Remember You (LOVE) the next time you see conflict and watch it dissolve before your very eyes. The only thing required is the invitation of which ego knows not considering it imposes itself which causes conflict. Choose instead to not react but respond in LOVE where Truth is revealed and Peace is experienced. Peace

Pay attention to what is happening!

History continues to repeat itself, by presenting the same message in different scenarios, because WE (humanity) have forgotten it. It doesn't take much effort to realize history will continue to repeat the  same message considering it's been doing so since the beginning of time and will do so until WE completely accept this message. 

Fear in the form of denial is precisely what causes Suffering and is the main reason WE must wake up NOW or expect more of the same and worse. Fear offers nothing better!

Because WE have forgotten who WE Really are, fear takes over. The moment the Power within is forgotten, ego appears and this is precisely where the problems begin. Because ego maintains its existence on nothing but lies, the moment Truth is recognized for what it Really is, ego cowers from   the glare that Truth emanates. Understand, "the truth hurts" is in reference to ego. Truth liberates anyone willing to step out of denial. 

Because Truth is not of this world, it can't be lost but forgotten. It can't be bought or sold and so is priceless. Its not taught because its innate. The message history continuously repeats is the fact that WE too are not of this world, our time here is temporary. 

The time to wake up to the fact that we are not our physical body is NOW. The time to wake up to the fact that WE are not the labels WE wear (race, religion, political party, gender, etc.) is NOW. They are the roles WE chose before coming here. Unless and until it is recognized that EVERYONE plays a significant role in this play called LIFE, ego will continue to run the show. 

Choose to remember who YOU Really are, LOVE, so the heavy curtains (Black, White, Mexican, Asian, Gay, Straight, Christian, Jehovah Witness, Atheist, Muslim, Jew, Conservative, Democrat, Liberal, Rich, Poor, Disabled, Young, Old, etc.,) will close on that scene once and for ALL. Peace
