Sunrise and a Message of Helping Everyone

I Want to Help Everyone

I Want to Help Everyone

I’m sorry, but I cannot help it, I want to help everyone.

I do believe most, if not all of us want to help one another.  Human beings are like that.  We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.  

In this world there is room for everyone to live the life they want to live.  And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.  

However, greed has poisoned our souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has strapped us into misery and bloodshed.  

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in our homes.  Machinery that gives abundance has left us in maximum want.  

We think too much and feel too little.  More than machinery we need humanity.  More than speed we need gentleness.   

The internet has brought us closer together.  The very nature of this invention cries out the goodness in society and the universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.  

Even now my voice is reaching people throughout the world who might be despairing victims of a system that makes the elite 1%’ters torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say 'do not despair'.  The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed; the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.  

The hate of men will pass.

Let us fight to free the world, to do away with hate and intolerance.  Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where progress will lead to all men’s happiness.  In the name of love, friendship, and progress, let us all unite, I say.

Deepest Fear

Deepest Fear

What is your deepest fear?

Ever thought about that?

What is it?

Change, resisting to it…

technology, trying to keep up,…

learning…

getting old…

speaking…

or just being a good role model…

What is it?

Is this fear, which I will call ‘darkness’ holding you back?

You playing small does not serve the world, it really does not.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking and feeling insecure and holding yourself back, because of it.

Can you learn to stand tall against this fear?  Try it, I say, just try it.

I am learning to do this; I am learning to stand really tall against my fear and darkness. 

Let me tell you something, you already know.

We are powerful, we are determined and we are all very strong, strong beyond measure.

Our light and energy should come forward, not be held back because of our fear.

We are all meant to shine as children do.  Do you remember that? Think back; think back to when how you freely conducted yourself, no fear, no darkness, and no embracement.

The shine, the light, it's not just in some of us, it is in everyone.  

And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give everyone around us permission to do the same.  Think about that…

When we liberate ourselves from our own darkness, our strong presence automatically frees others from their very own fear.

Thank you…

Things are Bad

Things are Bad

I don’t have to tell you things are bad. 

Everybody knows things are bad.  There is a depression out there, yeah.  

Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. 

The dollar buys a penny’s worth.  Banks are taking our money and charging us outrageous service fees, yeah.
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.  Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it, right.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had some more homicides and numerous violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be, yeah.

We know things are bad – worse than bad.  It is crazy, right. 

It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore.  We sit in our house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave me alone in my living room.  Just leave us alone.’

Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone.  I want you to get MAD!  I don’t want you to protest.  I don’t want you to riot.  I don’t want you to write to your congressman.  

I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write to your  congressman. 

I don’t know what to do about the depression and the crime in the street. 

All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. 

You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’

So, I want you to get up now.  I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.  Open your window and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’

Things have got to change.  

But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…

You’ve got to say, ‘I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis.  But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’

Thank you for reading,

Time Does Past Fast

Time Does Past Fast

Is it just me, or is time clicking along fast? As I write this, it is the end of August.   Eight months of the 2017 year is in the books, that was fast.   

Where did it go? I do not know, but I wish it would slow down a bit.  

Or are we having too much of a good time that we are not noticing it go by.  

Yes, yes, yes...that is the answer, I will stick with.

What do you think? am I on to something here, please let me know,

thank you.
