Last night I went to a totally depressing movie. It had been highly recommended by several people, but as I stared at the screen with my usual cocktail of soda in hand (one cup of caffeine free diet coke with a ONE SECOND *splash* of cherry–and just ONE SECOND, please
) I watched the following human themes play out before me…
alcoholism…blame…victimhood…poverty…war…and loss…
At the loss continued, I could stay no longer and went to another movie that I had already seen, but that had a message of LOVE, and HOPE…and it was amazing. So glad I moved locations.
Recently, I’ve realize just how much negativity is around me and how I keep looking, hoping, praying for a better world. The common viruses of *this one* are becoming more and more noticeable to me. Not that I am angry or frustrated about it (that’s just another virus), but I simply don’t want to be breathing it into my system.
A few nights ago, I came upstairs to snuggle with my husband in bed and watch television. As I was climbing into bed, I blurted out, “And I don’t want to watch something weird…like the news.” He looked at me and laughed. A lot of people watch the news and don’t think its “weird.”
I laughed, too when I realized what I had said. But it’s true. I think that watching a never ending report of death, disease, poverty, crime, and all of the problems to watch out for in this world is a “weird” way to spend my time. I don’t want those wavelengths in my frequency. I want a better world–just like a lot of people–but not by educating myself on what’s wrong with it.
Here’s the truth. I think we are so used to the negativity and problems we have that we get think it’s normal. It’s like being in prison and not knowing it.
We’re used to never having enough money. We’re used to being mad at the same people for decades. We’re accustomed to feeling insecure and not good enough and being criticize and late and upset and stressed out that we don’t know the difference.
The same prison walls have been in place for decades and have been absorbed so deeply in the landscape of our minds that we just think that’s how life “looks.”
But it doesn’t. More and more, every day, I have hope for a better world. Every day I ask God to show me how to create that world inside myself and be an instrument of sharing it with others.
Here’s how it looks to me. Green grass and flowers and trees grow spontaneously. There is enough for everyone to eat and more than enough joy to go around. People live FREELY in the present. There is no painful past we carry around. When we look at each other, we see the very best and highest. If someone falls, we all reach down to help them up and encourage them on their way. Everyone shares their gifts and celebrates their own contribution. There is no competition. The more other people win, the more we feel WE win, so we love, support, encourage and give freely.
Free will reigns. No one manipulates or controls behavior through fear and domination. The Spirit is free to live, act, and choose and does so according to the highest good of others.
There is no blame for what’s wrong, just people working and helping to be a part of the solution.
This is the world *I* live in. This is the one in my mind and my heart and the one I am seeking to create IN ME. Until I can create it “in here,” I won’t be able to help “out there.”
What’s your perfect world? What does it look like, sound like? How does it FEEL to live there? I invite you to find “your perfect world” and LIVE it…and let it live through you and when there are enough of us who live at this frequency…
Then, and only then, we can bring it into reality and raise this planet back to it’s original state of PEACE, LOVE, and LIGHT. This is our journey.
