Hope for the New Year!

Greetings to All,

Another year is about to end. It has been, as always, filled with good and bad which is of course all relative. Some think the fact that George Bush was re-elected was a good thing… others think is was a sad day for our planet. Reality and what’s good and evil is a matter of perspective and opinion – everything depends on point of view. Most of us are quite sure we are RIGHT (as in correct) in our opinions and that the world would be a better place if everyone else agreed with us. But, we can probably all accept that we are not always right about everything. If we believed that the quality of life on this planet and beyond out to a zillion other planets in the Universe was at the mercy of our decisions on a day to day basis, would we take more care with how we lived each day?

If you accept that every action causes a reaction, you will know that every action you take plays a part in creating your future, the future of those around you and the rest of creation. Some of us have been given great power to affect the world with our actions. Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha and lesser know Enlightened Spirits have lived lives that inspired massive transformations in consciousness – unfortunately although most would consider their messages Good, even Godly, their messages have often been subverted to evil purposes and good people have been lead to evil deeds that they were convinced were right, they may even believe they were divinely ordained. It’s all a matter of point of view.

Possibly, in the New Year, more of us can come to realize that we are each an integral part of a world community and that anything that diminishes or harms any of us hurts us all just as every kind word or act helps us all. Possibly we can realize that killing in the name of God is always an abomination, a total corruption of the messages of all of the enlightened beings that have lived among us. Possibly we can realize that while the ends can sometimes justify the means it is a dangerous path to follow and we will be required to pay for the mistakes we make. Every action we take will cause a reaction – we will be blessed as we bless others and we will suffer harm as we harm others – and that goes for all living things and our home, this Earth. It also does not matter whether we believe we are doing right or wrong – the Universe is non-judgmental BUT, there is perfect balance. The Love you get is equal to the Love you give.

Each day you have a chance for a new beginning – each day you can make the world a better place and even your smallest actions start a chain reaction that sends ripples throughout the world. May God bless you with the wisdom and insight to be a blessing to yourself and the world around you through the year ahead and beyond. Have a wonder-filled and Joyous New Year!
