Remember that Christmas is the Festival of Love

          Now that the year is heading to a close with many memories of the past few months still present in our minds, so we approach and prepare for that Festival of Love that we in the West call Christmas.

          It is based on the Winter Solstice when the sunlight of the shortest day brings us a lengthening of the days to come and that promise of spring and later summer days of laughter and harvesting.

          In the 21^st Century, where life is based on the material aspects of existence, many may have forgotten or moved away from the basic necessities that bring us our food and water.

          If we look at the Middle East today, we are reminded of the destruction and hatred between peoples that live there today.  The emergency supplies are inadequate and the willingness to help each other is strained beyond the rights of humanity.

There are far too many factions that will not heed the words of the great prophet Jesus, who walked and talked there two millennia ago and the so called sacred sites are memories only for what once was the purity of the birth of a new way of living.

The negativity brought from the hatred of ones neighbour and the coveting of what he has got, show Mankind’s intolerance and fear that has been stoked up over many years by the Western nations playing politics with people’s lives.

How can families look at the crib of the birth of the Saviour without seeing the blood and misery that the region has to suffer today?

It is the little children who suffer most and many lose their families and their innocence, all due to heavy-handedness of the sellers of armaments and the greed and corruption of the politicians.

At Christmastide, many look to the numerous religions to see what they are doing with their wealth and promises of telling all who will listen that they have got it right and all others have got it wrong.

It is high time that they showed the way to the love and peace of the world and as the Prophet Jesus told all who listened to his words that we should love our neighbour.

Where will the charity be this Christmastide for the homeless and the lonely, many of whom will not know where their next meal is coming from, when the tables of the Western culture has tables laden with food and drink.

May we give our heartfelt thanks to those who do give up their time and work for charities, putting their lives at risk to serve humanity with their time and skills?

Let us all remember that we will be called to answer the question, “What did you do with your life for the betterment of humanity and is the world a better place because you lived out a life there?”

          It is no use sleeping your lives away and only seeing the immediate and often more comfortable way around you.  We were not given a life to live here by the Higher Intelligence to just get through it and spend our time in materialistic pleasures.

          We all came with a purpose to fulfil and we need to understand that, so that we are guided in the right way to make that difference for the Greater Good and not simply ignore the realities of life around this world.

          There is a greater intelligence above and beyond our own and to ignore it is arrogance and reflects the size of our ego above the rest and it will preclude the giving of love to those in need.

          Our actions come from the heart and control our mind-set into giving and receiving in equal measure, such is the balance of a good life, where the basic needs of humanity have a chance to prosper.

          Let this Christmas Festival of Love be demonstrated to those who are in need and not an extension of those who are already spoilt with too much.

Are We Doing Enough?

          As we see the elements of change all around us, we are still most likely to want to stay in the status quo of our own lives.  This is the difference between those who are comfortably off in financial and emotional terms and those who are without funds and love in their lives.

          It is easy to want to stay the same when your comfortable lives are complete without a care in the world, but few can guarantee that this will last forever.

          Most souls on this planet are living lives without all the easy living that so many in the West take for granted.  They have to struggle to get by each and every day and there is no backup system to put food on the table for their family and to provide for their children.

          Even in the wealthy parts of the West, where there is freewill and free choice, so many are suffering the abuse and mistakes that have been made around them.

          Many have lost that interaction between people and expect a man to take on a woman and give her a meal ticket for life.  Love and respect has to be earned and is not a free bank account for sexual favours.

          Too many want to know when they will get a man or another man to fulfil their lives and to make them secure and safe for the rest of their days.  Too many don’t want to work for their future, but expect it to be shaped for them.

          We are all given a life to live and need to understand that it is not just for our interests and comforts, but for those around us to benefit from us being here at all.

          Getting through from day to day is a Universal problem, but with many different levels of expectations.  For some it is the basic lack of food and fresh water, the need for shelter or medical attention and an education for their families.

          Political actions have caused the massive migrations of people looking for a new life, when theirs has been traumatised by wars, famine or political corruption.

          The people, in the so called western civilised world, do not take their responsibilities seriously enough to admit their political failings in the international arena, where they have exploited and abused peoples who have suffered at their hands.

          Governments have supported political rulers, who are very light on human relations and rule with an iron fist to keep their regimes enriched with the spoils of their common people, in order to get the trade deals or material franchises for themselves.

          It is rare that a Government refuses to trade with a nation who is abusing their people and where human rights in some countries are considered a joke!

It is about time that we, who are comfortably off, allowed our attention to understand the lives of others around the world and to put our voices and our purchasing power where it can do some good.

As change is all about us, we need to be able to listen to our consciences and to understand that we are doing all that we practically can for those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

It is not always necessary to look abroad, but to see that the so called wealthier nations have much poverty and homelessness within their own societies.

Broken lives are all around us and yet few of us are qualified enough to help those who struggle, but we can put out our prayers to the Higher Intelligences beyond our own experience to ask for help for the needy and to show us the way that we can best help.

Nobody is alone, as we are all helped if we ask, but too many feel alone, because they have lost hope and can’t find love as that basic need that we should all be giving to those who are crying out to us for help.

Attitude of Mind is Our Biggest Asset or Worst Enemy

It is all about being positive.  How can we expect to be happy in our lives if we are living with negative vibrations?  There is a natural stress to living in the 21^st Century, so we have to prioritise our needs according to their priority.

We are not supermen and never will be, so the needs given to us are all about putting the most important things first and that means our health and our happiness.

          We will get far more done if we are organised and, like a well-oiled machine, go from one successfully finished item to the next in harmony and with peace of mind.

          It is sad to say that many people spend a lot of energy looking ahead and fearing what might happen to them regardless of the true likelihood of these things actually happening.

          It is known as the ‘what if scenario’.  This is a fear generated state of mind, where we feel that we are the victims of events and that whatever we do it will work out against us in the long run.

          It is exactly this negative thinking that causes so many problems of its own.  As like attracts like, we are calling for these things to come our way and it is only when they arrive that we know whether we are up to coping with them!

          Nothing is left to chance when we allow our guides and spirit helpers to guide us through these fears and fables.  If we ask them for their help with love, they will attract our most positive vibrations and work on those to expand and so push out the negative thoughts.

          We are never alone and we are only a thought away from help with our most concerning worries.  Sometimes they will never happen, but if we simply sit and invite them with our thoughts, we will be wretched.

          It is necessary in this modern world to recognise that we all have a guide who loves us well and wants the very best for us.  If we ignore their presence, they are not able to lift a spiritual finger on our behalf.

          It is as if we have lifted two fingers to them and ignored their will to exercise enlightenment in our simple minds.  Why can’t so many people understand that there is a Higher Intelligence above our own?

          We were created in unconditional love and with all the wisdom that we need to live a useful life in harmony with each other and to make a difference for the better by us being here.

          We all have the means to be in touch with a spirit guide of great experience, who loves us and who only wants the best for us.  All we have to do is to ask for what we want and what we need in the right and proper way.

          That is to ask for what we need to carry on without embellishing it with the luxury of wealth that we haven’t earned and don’t really need except perhaps to expand our vanity in the eyes of others.

          Let us be certain that what we ask for is for our benefit, but doesn’t interfere with the life paths of others on this earth plane.  We are after all connected and we must be aware of the influence that we have on others for better or for worse.

          Know that by living in the most positive and loving way we are helping others around us as well as ourselves.  We are all in need of a pick-me-up at times and that can come as a smile to a neighbour or a stranger in the street or supermarket.

          It only lets us down if we show the other side of our nature by scowling or pushing our own way ahead of others.  As the Good Book says that we should always be prepared to walk that extra mile and so for nothing we make a better life for others.

          It is very necessary in this world of hustle and bustle that we put aside time for ourselves.  We all need that quite peace of mind without intrusion.  It is here that we are given thoughts in return for ours that will guide us and show us the way to overcome our fears and take on our responsibilities.

          We must all take that responsibility that is given to us and be prepared to stand up for the righteous life and the giving and receiving of help and assistance. 

We are not alone and we need to be aware of those in need around us and the unconditional love of the Higher Intelligence that is given to us daily, even hourly, according to our needs and according to what we deserve.

Send out your thoughts for a better world and ask to be shown how you can play an active part in doing what is asked of you for the Greater Good of all.

Unconditional Love Is the Gift We All Need To Seek

The world continues to surprise us, but it is the reactions of humanity where individuals set themselves apart from the needs of the whole that still saddens so many of us.

          We are privileged to see and hear of so many souls, who have taken spiritual advice and followed it, so allowing the prophesies given to become reality.  It is only by following the guidance given to us that Spiritual Law can work for the Greater Good.

          We were all made in unconditional love and yet we allow the material emotions of fear, greed and selfishness to cloud our judgement.  Where we live right, according to the teachings that Jesus taught, we become attuned to the Spirit.

          None of us are perfect, but to follow a Divine course with ambitions for peace and harmony among all men, women and children is to follow a course of action that is given to us all to live by.

          We are apparently easily led away from these principles by church and politicians alike, where they have their own levels of morality and there rarely are glimpses of true living through love and harmony.

          There always seems to be self-interests and to ignore the plight of so many souls throughout the world, where the actions of the greedy and warlike, apparently take no notice of the results of their actions, is a global travesty.

          There are some individuals, who give their time and skills to help, but there is not a movement throughout Mankind’s agenda to ensure that the best is available for all who need it and all are given an equal chance to succeed and raise their families through honest toil and with the security that we all need.

          The Higher Intelligence looks at our puny and selfish efforts and His Hand does direct those who take notice of His existence.  Sadly there are not enough to lift the positive vibrations on this planet, so that unconditional love can rule over the negative material short term gains.

          If we send out our thoughts and requests for the help of the Almighty, He will always come to our aid.  So many of His miracles go unnoticed and thanks for His intervention are not heard as much as they should be.

          When miracles happen many simply say that it was luck.  They fail to see the perfect timing of the need fulfilled and the benefit directed to those who asked with their thoughts and prayers for a solution to their needs.

          Life is not just about being given an easy option to be bailed out without lifting a finger to contribute towards our salvation.  We must always take that first step towards the solution knowing that we will be guided as we do so.

          We are not here on a universal holiday, but on a mission to bring peace and harmony to a broken world, where humanity kills and maims the innocent in an attempt to reign in power over others.

          Those who give their lives for the benefit of others will see their rewards and will be raised up in their spiritual aspirations to be able to do more through the gifts of unconditional love, which are bestowed on them so that they can give to others in need.

          Those who take for their own benefits off the backs of others can never prosper.  Their gains will be only short term and they will experience the pain and loss that will have been earned by their behaviour.

          Life is all about balance and keeping the good and righteous growing in strength to overcome the negativity that Man inflicts on his fellow man.  Those who crave for power take it mostly from the women and children.  The elderly are of no account, so it is the egoists that rule the world and are responsible for its shortcomings.

          It is not a weakness to care and to live in love with each other, so let us all ask the Almighty for the strength to do His will and for us to follow His direction and not our own.

          Happiness is a divine state of being.  It is not a cheap commercial moment bought through the tinsel world of make belief.  Unconditional love is the gift we all need to seek, so that we can all thrive in His divine state of being.

Moving With the Times

We are all in motion and although we so often rush about trying to get more done in less time, it rarely succeeds.  The more we push and panic the more we are held back by our own energies.

To lead an orderly life we need to keep ourselves in balance, so that the material way of life is kept equal with our spiritual needs.  If we fail to do this we are liable to damage ourselves in both body and soul.

When Jesus was asked about this he replied “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God's.”  In other words, keep yourselves in balance by dealing with the material world in keeping with your spiritual energies.

Do not take for granted what you are told to do by those who do not show that they are doing it themselves in their very own lives.

If you look at the pomp and ceremony within the Church, you see the riches that they have accumulated over many years, which are all to show themselves in that rich light, while their congregations around the world are by and large living in poverty.

 They will tell you that this richness is not for them but is showing the Glory of God to their Congregations, but this is not true as God needs no further illumination.  He is already richer and more glorious than Mankind can ever imagine.

The God of the 21^st century is a loving God and encourages all people to live in peace and harmony through His unconditional love.  He would far rather that the riches of the Church we used to feed the starving and put shoes on the feet of children.

In this broken world of wars and famine, it is necessary that we understand that these situations are brought about by man’s in humanity to man.

Humanity is led by the corrupt and greedy, so that there are areas of great neglect and poverty throughout the world and, in most major cities, there are ghettos of the deprived and unequal.

 When we understand this, we can start to see that this breeds resentment and, until these matters are addressed, there will be those who will take the law into their own hands and be vulnerable to the radical teaching of others, who teach fear and death.

God is a loving God and gave us freewill for us to use for the good of humanity and therefore it is us who fail Him and we should not blame the Higher Intelligence, who can see the whole picture, for the mistakes that we make.

Until we find it in our hearts to love what we have in common and not to allow fear and hatred to drive us apart, there can be no harmony among nations.

Religions will drive us apart into a continuing state of battling ideology instead of listening to our conscience and letting that loving God show us the way to making Heaven on Earth.

          It is within us all if we live in love and help those who are without food, fresh water, shelter, medical attention and an education for their family.

          Let us all be aware of the need of others and not walk by on the other side.

Make the Best of Change

          Change is a fact of life.  Nothing ever stays the same and always it is something that most people resist.  It cannot be stopped and, as some changes have a greater impact, so we must be prepared to meet them.

          Not all changes are for the better, but it is up to us as human beings to try and always make the best out of what changes are occurring.  We need to be able to see a wider perspective and avoid only seeing how it affects us.

          We are here to serve each other and to work for the greater good.  Let us always rely on the fact that we are all interconnected and in many ways we are reliant on each other. 

          We are not equipped to supply all our needs ourselves and we are almost blind as to just how many things actually occur in our lives without any thought or action.

          As we partake in the hurly-burly ways of life and earn our place in it, we need to reflect on what others do, so that we can concentrate on our own lives and live them as we think is best.

          We were given freewill to exercise and an ego to drive us forward with a conscience to guide us along the way of life.  It is our task to choose the way we act and think for the better.

          Many chose to ignore their own conscience and turn their back on the guidance given, so that Spiritual Law and the love of our Creator is behind us and we are left in the Darkness of Ignorance, as opposed to the Light of all Wisdom and the unconditional love from the Higher Intelligence.

          We all live by the laws that he gave us and through them we are rewarded or denied according to our actions.  We reap what we sow, as Jesus told us and that is the way of all change.

          When we do good and act for others, we will be rewarded with help and guidance throughout our lives.  If we choose to be selfish, corrupt or unloving, we attract to us similar energies and we will find that we are oblivious to the goodness and are unloved and struggling, if we are unable to change our ways.

           It is the simple things that are most spiritual and effective.  It is the order of change that is most genuine and caring that will bring in better results for all involved.

          For far too often, humanity makes it hard on itself by making matters so complicated that they think that it will cover up the bad ways of working and behaving, so that their misdeeds will not be noticed.

          Everything will eventually become clear and nothing is hidden for ever.  Even if you think that you have got away with something, if it was not for the better then the Higher Intelligence has a way of shaping things to expose your actions or deeds.

          Even when you pass from this earth plane of existence, you leave with nothing except your history of behaviour, where nothing is hidden away and all can see your goodness or otherwise.

          Nobody is unjustly punished, but all have to make recompense for their mistakes and errors against the Laws of God.  No religion has any control over that and it is a matter between you and your conscience, which is God given.

          Take some time out and reflect on your lives.  It is not a question of leaving it to before your passing, because you never know when that is, but to live a good life and adapt to change as best as you are able, will bring its own rewards.

          Do not be found wanting when you have your lifetime of opportunities exposed in front of the Creator, who gave you life and love and the chances to serve your fellow man, woman and child on a daily basis.

Do Not Abuse the Inner Child

          Today the world is looking more uneasy than ever.  In people’s lives there is more disruption than ever before, as those who were abused and damaged as children are unable to function normally.

          They are permanently unable to pass that blockage when trauma interrupted their young lives and their innocence was permanently damaged.

          They may advance in bodily years, but their emotional age remains blocked at that time of their lives when the abuse took place.  They will forever be unable to act in any relationship as an adult in emotional matters until that blockage is addressed.

          Many have sort treatment when these matters are brought out into the open and discussed by counsellors for years and years, never getting to the root of the problem.

          How can they when they fail to fully realise that the trauma is logged in the subconscious mind and can only be addressed by the skilful counselling of a Psychotherapist, who has been trained to follow this with clinical hypnosis over just a few well timed and executed sessions.

          If untreated, then those who grow up into adulthood life will have an inner child reflecting when that abuse took place.  A person in their seventies will still be a child emotionally and can never adopt a response of adult love and affection towards their partner.

          The need is to first recognise the problem and then to search for a therapist that specialises in curing inner child problems using hypnosis.  The earlier this is recognised and dealt with, the sooner that soul will get back their normal life that was scared in childhood.

          There are many reasons for trauma and all of them cut deep into the young soul, branding the subconscious for a lifetime if untreated.  Left alone, as so many are through ignorance, there can never be in a meaningful relationship between two people who may love each other, but can never be in love with each other on an equal level.

          This is sad enough, but it also means that those who still marry and have children of their own will, being taught behaviour patterns, tend to make their children dysfunctional in the same way and so patterns of this behaviour continually increase with more and more of society at all levels being increasingly unable to cope with the basic daily problems of life.

          Where there are family and relationship problems they need to be discussed.  Counsellors today must be aware of these issues and, if they are not able to deal with them satisfactorily themselves, they need to be able to recommend therapists who are specially trained to do so.

          Life can be hard enough these days, but where normal relationships are not able to function for the greater good of that family, then there must become an awareness of the basic needs and, by discussing issues and letting in some daylight, a cure can be achieved within a few months and the saving of a lifetime of misery is avoided.
