If you’re Jesus Christ, I’d suggest you stop reading now.

If you aspire to be Mohandas Gandhi or the Buddha, likewise I suggest you stop reading. Humanity for humanity is a philosophy for human beings not saints.

If you are a martyr, forget about Humanity for humanity. If you are stupid, naive, joyless … or psychotic, stop reading. Humanity for humanity is for those who want happiness in their life, even joy and glee, but who are bright and sophisticated enough to understand that, actually, my happiness is affected by yours, that the happier you are the happier I am going to be. It is for those bright and sophisticated enough to understand that the best guarantee of my life being considered sacred is by ensuring that your life is considered sacred, that the best protection of my liberty is yours.

The economics polluting our world today, the social and political policies tainting that world are not only immoral but also insane. The iceberg which was hit by the ‘Titanic’ did not distinguish between those in first-class and those in third, between the captain and the cabin-boy.

In fact, all these ‘disciplines’ (economics, politics, sociology and many others) are academic cloaks with which a quite staggering institutional greed seeks to disguise itself. There is a tiny, tiny handful of people making untold hordes of money from this pollution. I suspect such people think of themselves as winners. I wonder, however, how winner-like their successors will think them.

Before the consequences of their pollution become inescapable, the polluters themselves will probably have died. But their children won’t. And their grandchildren certainly won’t. Their successors, the successors of these self-designated ‘winners’, they will suffer quite as much as anyone, as much as your successors will suffer, and mine will.

Humanity for humanity can see the iceberg. It is passionate in its desire to avoid colliding with it. A lone shout of: “Iceberg ahead” can be dismissed as the ranting of a lunatic. We need enough of us to be shouting that those on the bridge cannot pretend not to hear us. If the helmsmen are intent on committing suicide, that (in my opinion) is entirely their prerogative. They do not have the right to kill the rest of us along with them. They therefore do not have the right not to see the iceberg nor to not hear our shouts.

Humanity for humanity does not believe it is by accident that the word ‘humanity’ has two meanings. It believes, finally, they are indivisible; that if one of its meanings is imperilled, so is its other meaning. We live in an epoch when humanity, in both senses, is threatened with annihilation.

The world is no longer ruled by capitalism. This has ceded to what I have elsewhere called ‘rapacism’: a rapacity, a monster greed which is quite unchecked and, as far as we have thus far seen, incapable of being satisfied. This ‘rapacism’ demands human sacrifice on a scale which would have made the Aztecs squirm, and for which even the word ‘holocaust’ is inadequate. Those of us in the West who think these atrocities will only be perpetrated in the so-called ‘developing’ world are simply not paying enough attention to what is happening all around us.

Greed is only a synonym for hatred. If greed is unchecked, so is hatred. We live in a world therefore dominated by unchecked hatred. No wonder it’s in a mess.

This hatred is nothing so human as human hatred. Within humankind – amazingly – there is still (despite all this hatred) infinitely more love than there is hatred … infinitely more good than there is evil. It is an enormous tribute to humankind that this should be so. And provides irrefutable evidence that humanity hankers after humanity, that humanity strives for humanity, that humanity is imbued with humanity.

We’re all greedy. Of course we are. Greed is a human failing. But human greed against institutional greed is the pike against the shark, is the wasp against the mamba. And the greediest of the institutions are often precisely those institutions, like government and industry, which seek to convince us all that they only have humanity’s best interest at heart. Unfortunately for them (and for us), the evidence is abundant of how specious such claims are.

We are at war today. But the ‘War on Terror’ is only a tiny part of that war. The ‘War on Terror’ has, without doubt, claimed the lives, limbs and emotional balance of innocent victims. And I don’t therefore make light of it.

A Message from Archangel Gabriel

Dear Ones,

The significance of life is to know God with every fiber of your being. You are here to allow the nectar from the Divine spark of life to sweeten you and open your heart to Love. You are here to open your mind to the empowering presence of Divine Light, bringing you the clarity you need in order to bridge heaven and earth so you can live in greater awareness.

The significance of any life is to bring Divine Wisdom into your daily world, relentlessly letting go and releasing all that holds back this flow. With every breath you become the tuning fork that resonates to Divine Purpose working through you. With every thought you receive empowering wholeness into your being. Know that the quality of your future is dependent upon the nurturing of your spirit, and your belief in the significance of a life well lived in loving-kindness.

The significance of this time you live in is found in the global awakening, an evolution of consciousness all over the world. The belief systems that kept people mental hostages are breaking down. The old ways of reacting and behaving are no longer appropriate and the confusion resulting from the scrambling to replace the outdated forms is now rampant. The future is clearly unknown, though acceptance of the present with clear intentions for positive outcomes is a way to plant seeds for optimum life.

Signs of Awakening

As the acceleration of energy on the earth continues, people are seeking out new ways to deal with old issues, and a crack in the closed door of their minds can result.  Even a small of amount of light shining through this doorway dissipates the darkness within and hopelessness is lifted. These small actions and shifts in belief attract more and more of the same vibratory energy of hope, and an empowering sense of liberation results. Even if there is not an immediate obvious change in the outward circumstances of your life, a shift has occurred. As the envelope stretches it can never go back to its original shape. When one tries to go back, there is a sense of discomfort, an inner restlessness. This is a clear sign of an awakening within you.

Sometimes this restlessness causes fear. Coupled with thought forms arising from an unknown future, the fear may become so great, it can be all consuming. For many this discomfort is interpreted as a possible disease, which may indeed be created by repetitive thoughts of anxious despair and disempowering action.

Moving through the fear caused by disheveled lifestyles can be a journey requiring faith and a focus of attention, with perhaps the assistance from counselors and therapists trained to help bring the light of awareness into darkness and confusion.

Finding balance in the physical and emotional bodies through lifestyle changes in nutrition and exercise, and taking time to balance the mind can be very helpful. Nature is a great balancer of energy and offers a bounty of beauty in every season that can even be found in a city park, a botanical garden or your own back yard.

Allow Yourself to be Supported

For inner peace to prevail it often requires your intention to heal the fear behind the restless feelings and anxious thoughts. It also requires a new level of receptivity and a loosening of the fierce independence that will not allow you to ask for help.  During these changing times, giving your self permission to receive a new level of support is paramount. People need each other, and they need to know they are loved and cared for. Just giving a smile and a pat on the back can change a disheartened mind, and set forth a chain reaction of loving-kindness. In this way your life is transformed, and you are helping to create peace within you and on the planet Earth.

When you make a choice to love one another by accepting each person’s unique and individual differences, the world begins to transform. The old tenets remain true: “Do no harm,” and “love one another as yourself.” In fact, practicing loving-kindness toward your self is sometimes the most difficult, but this one act can have a profound effect on your capacity for happiness. It is often easier to offer kindness to a stranger than to give it to yourself. Loving acceptance of those parts of your self that are different from others may allow you to express your inherent gifts and talents in a new way. This creative expression can help you to find new resources that will assist you in living a more meaningful life. When you feel more loving toward yourself, your world looks brighter and more hopeful. Loving-kindness begins with your self.  If it is easier, however, to smile at a stranger than into a mirror, this action will still affect your inner self in a beneficial way. These feelings, thoughts and deeds all lead to increasing the vibratory rate of your being so you attract more Divine energy and goodness into your life. As synchronicities begin to occur, you will feel a new level of support from the Universe.

If you were to ask for assistance from the Higher Power working in your life, you would be surprised at the changes that begin to show up around you. New thoughts, new ideas, helpful strangers, and perhaps even clear Divine Intervention occurs, with creative solutions you never imagined possible. It begins when you open a small corner of your mind to possibilities, and let go of outdated beliefs about your self and about the way your world operates.  Since the old manner of doing most things will not work well anymore, your life becomes easier if you are willing to ask for help.

By taking these small steps to create positive change, your life will feel more significant. You become aware that you are adding value to the world, that a benevolent Universe is supporting you, and above all, you will feel profoundly loved.

And so it is.

A Message about Life from Archangel Gabriel

Dear One,

Trust that the Source of all life is active within you.  As you grow in this trust, the world around you manifests in new, more harmonious ways. Trust is an active principle of God. The freedom you seek to live in joy responds to this quality of trust. It takes active awareness to call in the Divine Light that activates this quality of trust within you. You can trust that there is a benevolent Source of Good active in the Universe that responds to your heartfelt call.

Allow the seeds of trust to sprout within your being.  Nurture them with your loving attention and feed them with Divine Light. Trust exists as a quality within all beings. Everyone trusts in something. The question becomes, what are you trusting in? Clearly if you are imagining dire circumstances, worrying that you will not be able to do or be what you want, or thinking that things may work other than the way you prefer, all of these demonstrate your beliefs and what you are trusting as truth in your life.

As an active Divine principle trust exists. Trust is receptive to the flow of your desires. With the intentional awareness of your thoughts, trust can be used to sort out the tangled beliefs wrapped in the mind. Through the active principle of trust, an expansion can occur in your energy field that allows a greater flow of Divine Light into your thought processes. It is this expansive activity of Light that can clear away the alternatives that are not so appealing for your life’s path.

Divine Light carries an amazing intelligence as well as the blessing of God’s Love. This light is a continuous flow that unifies the field of consciousness to work in harmony with more expansive qualities of thought. You can ask for the Light of Trust to flow through your being in a pillar of Gold. Anchor it in the Earth, and feel its centering, calming influence within you building the energy of trust.

Trust is faith in action and requires your willingness to join in the process of creation. This time on earth has an accelerated energy available to be used as active creative forces. Use them carefully because as you become One with the Force of Creation, you will be manifesting that which most dominates your thought processes.  This is not new information but the energetic activity is so powerful at this time, a cautionary note is required. There is an offering from the Angelic Dimensions and Angelic assistance is available. This is something in which you can trust.

Find many more things to trust so you can build this muscle and it can be serving you in daily activities. The more you rely on your trusting heart the more optimistic you will become. This optimistic nature trusts that Benevolent Outcomes are available in every situation. You can know and trust that there is a Creative Solution no matter how dire things appear.

Trust is like a little boat upon the sea…

Trust becomes a boat in which you can float down the river of your life, buoyant in the Divine Flow.  There is no need for you to row upstream resisting What Is, or struggling to make things happen in a certain way. When you trust the flow of Divine Energy, there is a wind in the sail of your purposeful life. You won’t find yourself becalmed in the seas of doubt when you claim the quality of Trust as your guiding Truth. Doubt takes the winds from your sails by contraction of the natural life force given to you by God. When the river flows slowly, blowing on the sails is not helpful. All you can do is relax and trust in Divine Timing. Trust is the rudder that steers your boat, and worry can be like the weeds that stop your forward movement by wrapping around this steering mechanism. Be attentive to the insidious thought forms that keep your life’s boat from floating free in the river of Divine Creation.

You are not alone in your journey of life. The Angelic Realms have been gifting all of humanity with their accelerated energy presence. The Angels answer the calls of humans who remember, and trust in the presence of God’s messengers. With this presence available and the active principle of Trust working within your world, all that you need is given with grace and ease. Opportunities are provided and expansive choices are offered. All you have to do is climb in the boat and keep your mind and heart open asking for the light to guide you as you allow yourself to float on these rivers of life.   There may be rapids and sometimes steep falls, but with a trusting heart and a clear intention to stay afloat in the river of Divine Creation, a graceful flow will be apparent in every area of your life.

Bringing Heaven to Earth is not difficult; it just takes trust. Trust in the Angelic Dimensions working within you, trust in yourself as a vessel to receive Divine Light, and trust that as people work together in harmony with God, the way is open for Peace to manifest on Earth.

And so it is.
