"Going within, knowing yourself is a hobby that needs practice to happen"

I got riled a little

Dear Beloveds,
I was just sent what I would refer to as a hate e-mail.  I was being asked to sign
a petition to block the new design destined for our new .44 postage stamps, 
that embodies muslim writings. The meaning of the writings in question were 
not stated, nor am I aware of what they mean. Yet, I was asked to boycott it
in favor of remembering the 'atrocities' seemingly without provocation that these 
other nations committed against our country, assuming of course that we had 
nothing to do with their provocation. 

I stand here for peace.

A while ago, I had a knee jerk reaction, I flinched –  when someone said, "God Bless America",
 it puzzled me,
 then I realized that my thought was, "God Bless Everyone" ! That does, after all, include America, in all her glory.
 
There are families in every nation, who love their own peaceful existence, and enjoy 
meeting and sharing with people from other countries.   Some of their family members
have suffered and also died, sometimes needlessly, at the hands of power hungry people, 
claiming to represent their nation. Sending you to fight for their belief system about
how to communicate, or not….

There is only a small percentage of people who like to kill and fight in the name of
whatever. They are people obsessed with power and might, of all sorts, and for the
sake of power itself.

Unfortunately, since some are obsessed with power, many of them are the ones who have it. 
Sadly though, it becomes obvious that the greed for power and control seems to foster 
the necessity for war.   Most people, I think are wanting and asking for peace, now ! 
 This is the thought and action that we need in order to bring  a global peace into fruition.  

I have beautiful nieces, nephews and friends, presently in the service, and they are peaceful,
 loving, individuals who believe in the right of freedom and individual abundance. 

I am  in full support of our troops, and the individuals that put their lives on the line
for the amenities that I do enjoy.

I am not in support of blind blanket hatred,  of anything, or in the gaining of power or control of another. 
Have you noticed, that this also rarely works in our personal 
relationships ?

This awareness could help stamp out blind prejudice, by allowing many people to come to the
realization, that we are all one, and what we do to others we do to ourselves. ie: when you
hit someone, do you expect a hug?
 
On the stamp was a beautiful little butterfy…………..I wondered, (to the originator of this hateful petition) 
would you rather have a picture of a bayonet going through the heart of a child of God, on this planet, 
or a graphic of the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust ?
 
Perhaps someone, as a result, in a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or Christian country, will get the idea,
and espouse the virtues of yet another country, nationality, race, or religion.  In this way, I can see
world peace and understanding begin to manifest. 
 
It seems to me, it is the lack of awareness of the truth, of understanding and knowing,
 that causes fear and negativity.  All these thoughts eventually are spelled a-t-t-a-c-k.
It is sad.

What about you ???  Do you think that you can fight for peace ?  Isn't that an oxymoron ?
How about being peaceful for peace ?  What do you think ?

To all people who use the phrase, " nuke them all ",
I pray that you take a good look at yourself,  your family, friends and loved ones,
and just imagine this concept and what the results might be:
 
What if another person in control of the power in another country, were saying 
that about your country ?  Your innocent children and loved ones, etc., might perish,
for a cause not necessarily beneficial to us all. This decision could be made in the
blinking of an eye, and for reasons unknown to all of us……..and would hinder the
manifesting of, the One… no prom night this year…..nor maybe for years to come…

Ask yourself, is war necessary to get along, 
is war necessary for power, for religious belief, or monetary gain ?  
Could you kill a child of God for your belief system ?
 
Go within and truly ask……….where did your belief system come from ?
 Was it personal experience, a TV show, or some magazine article, or worse yet, gossip? 
 
If I were to make a call for people to get stirred up about something, it would be, to 
live and let live, to go within, and see what would truly bring joy to your life. 
I might suggest that if we spent more time on practicing joy, we might not
have time to wage war. 
 
I would issue a call to meditate, and to be in service to others.  Support
people to find their genius talents, and support each other in the joy of that experience. 
And, a call to be aware and act upon the awareness of an inconsistency, 
illness, or discordance of another by healing it first, in yourself.   
 
I have a vision that people would aspire to their genius and God given talents,
and joyfully live and share with each other in such a way that fosters their 
genius talents to flourish; creating more joy and ecstatic harmony for all.

 Then we might have a chance of being in integrity with one another. 

I am committed to empower people to effect world peace. We can do this by knowing and
understanding our own truth as it relates to facts that are derived from our own
personal experiences as distinct from claiming authority without benefit of personal experience. 

Why not have truth be the Authority………………. instead of Authority being the truth………………..
 
What do you think….. do think about it….. think about anything that has to do with the welfare and 
well being of all. See if your thoughts are of unconditional love…. yes, those lovely words that we 
speak…. yet,seem to have certain exception…

Have fun, prosper, be aware, wake up, and truly live!  Fun them all!!
I like that better…..

Take care what you put your mind to, your heart, and your signature, check in,
and see if it truly resonates with your own heart. Then notice, then act! 

Meantime, I am going to see what those words on the stamp mean…. anyone know?

Blessings up on Blessings,
Gregory
