I Believe…

I believe that there is a better world coming.  And for that we have to work very hard! Yes dears! Very hard!  We can’t just sit back and watch in ignorance or helplessness.  Just as the dark forces are gathering their strength, so too, we ‘light workers’ have to gather our strength and forge ahead.

We have to do our best to live by the virtues that we so seek in the world. If we seek peace, we need to live by it.  If we seek honesty or trustworthiness, we need to practice that. We have to keep on moving forward with truth and integrity in our lives, and not give into our weaknesses or engage in conflict or hatred. These are the very energies that the ‘dark force’ takes its strength from.  We have to starve the demon!

I believe there is a God. Despite so many rebuttals against the concept of a Supreme Being, He does exist and I very much believe He is there for me when I need Him. However, it’s very easy to blame God for all that is going wrong in the world. But do you really think that God, as a Father would want to hurt us or deprive us of happiness and His love? Think again.  If we want to blame Him, it’s because we need someone to blame, because we do not want to take responsibility for our actions individually or collectively. And when things are going wrong, we would prefer that God comes along as our savior, to fix all our problems, pretty much like the gadgets in our lives – click a button and get what you want. I feel, He wants us to stand up and be who we are.

I believe that we all have goodness inherent within us. Sometimes it’s hard to see that in a criminal, but let us try to regress to the time before he became a criminal.  Was he born that way? Of course not. There is a saint in every sinner; let us look to that saintliness.  Every soul is intrinsically and naturally virtuous.  We know that because that is what we are all normally drawn to; happiness, honesty, kindness, love, peace etc. So let us look at the original soul in front of us, and not focus on the actions that are those of someone who has lost his way. By doing this we may even be able to remind this soul of his original truth.

I believe that we all have potential to make a change.  There are people who just give up too easily.  Or they believe that positive change can only be actioned by the rich, famous or powerful. Yet, once we wake up to the hidden potential of the soul, we realize that we are capable of doing wonders. Everything has a reason for being, just look around you. Nothing exists for itself. Trees, rivers, plants –everything has a purpose. In the same way once we wake up to what it is each one of us is here to do, then we can change our life and change the world.  For this, we have to be awake, aware and attentive.

I believe in the power of the collective.  If we create a critical mass in consciousness, then we can create ripples in the world.  Just as in the story of the hundredth monkey, as more and more people become aware, a tipping point of vibrational frequency is reached then the world can change very easily! In the way that we are drawn to do bad things in the company of bad people even if we have decided not to, so, in the same way if we are in a very high energy, others will be lifted into that higher vibration, closer to their true, positive nature.

I believe that within us we all know the truth of who we are. We just need to spend time with ourselves and get to know our true selves. We need to become self-empowered and self-reliant. Then we need to spread our light into the world.
