Another Cup of Camomile tea as I try to sift through the many thoughts which run through my mind. Maybe that’s half my trouble on these sleepless nights, as one thought runs into another.
Its so easy to let our thoughts carry us away. In fact it’s so easy that’s exactly what has happened to our thoughts over the years. We have been carried away. We’ve allowed ourselves to be influenced , hypnotically so into a world of commercialism and false reality.
It’s not often I settle down to watch TV. But when I do those commercial breaks just so bug me, as I feel myself welling up inside at how gullible we are manipulated. I say to myself “Stop it, just let it go”. Letting Go is easily said, and yet so hard at times to achieve with what ever we are faced with in letting go of.
There are so many crisis’s around the world right now, its not surprising that at times we feel overwhelmed and insignificant.
I look at the state of the world it is in, and its seems that as individuals we can’t possibly make any difference to the Mess we have now made.
And then even as I pen these words in my journal, I look to my paintings of the Angels I painted upon my wall, and the words echo inside my head.
“ Have Faith, Faith Can Move Mountains “
And I think at last I understand those words more fully. I look at Nature and Nature never gives up, never feels helpless and lost, she never gives up. Nature just carries on choosing to grow and evolve.
I’ve come to understand we are coming together now at an even faster speed. We are no longer those separate pieces of this giant jig-saw puzzle. We are coming together and our Like-minds are slotting together. We are those ‘Rainbow Warriors’ from all creeds, all colours, and all walks of life.
We may appear separate, like lone domino pieces. But more and more of us are standing together, side by side in like minded thought. And like that 100th Monkey, when enough of us Let Go and see we each of us can change the world with the choices we make everyday as we merge together, we then join collectively to bring about Change. Then we create that Domino Effect which will send ripples out around the world.
Its time to end commercialism of greed and profit, we all know who these Big Boys are. We need Co-operation for the survival of the world, we need to pull together. Because lets make no mistake unless we don’t Let Go of the way most of us are all living at the moment then we are not going to have much of a future..
The Future is in our hands, The Choice is up to each and everyone of us.
When WE Change- The World Changes
But we have to start living from our Hearts, and learn to live once again in harmony and balance with Nature and our environment.
Where do we go from here? is our Choice and we need to seriously take a look at ourselves and our ways of living. Everyday we have the power within us to either help or hinder our progress with the Choices we make…
And we have to take responsibility for those choices.. For the choices we all make now will affect our future..
Each of us now must look Deep Within and See that collectively we CAN have a huge impact to tip the scales. We can either Fall one way, or the other..
The Choice is Ours..

I know I get overwhelmed at times LSF as the media belches out the many disasters, War conflicts, Famine, Children dying needlessly due to the lack of simple medical care while their governments spend Millions on War.. I get so frustrated that simple basics which we take so much for granted are not in place around those self same nations, because Life is cheap and that’s how half the world becomes rich as they keep the other half in control and poverty.. But this world is Changing and many now are seeing, really SEEing the World maybe for the first time as Countries say one thing to their voters while doing another… When I first opened my eyes several years ago to the deceptions and untruths the miss-information, the corruption and manipulations of those who WE have put at our helms to do the best for our nations.. When in fact many only do the best for themselves… as they line their pockets with back-handers from big corporations.. Evidence which is now emerging through out our Banking systems which seem to be a law unto themselves.. I quite like the idea Duma has stated in these comments, and I have thought along those same lines myself.. Except the mayhem which would ensue would be another catastrophe to those hard working individuals.. And I often think at times Mayhem is what ‘they’ want as another excuse to control…
No I like the silent 100th Monkey as we keep our heads and do not allow those Fear Tactics which are bombarding us from every angle to influence us..
We each have to have that belief in a better way of being… and know we are on the cusp of creating such changes.. We need only to Let Go of Fear and embrace our families and communities in harmony and love and we have each made a start in the right direction.. 🙂

Duma is on to something, it would bring catastrophes in the short run, but it may be a turning point. I fear the problems from such actions and for me is to work from the bottom up by returning to our local communities to make things better. Supporting the individual instead of the corporations. Yes, I still have to buy some things at the local grocer, also things from the locally owned hardware store,and a few things I do buy from Amazon. But I have stopped buying without much thought. I buy what I need when I can from the local thrift shop, and have even turned to Etsy to buy gifts that I can not make myself as even though that may not be local, it is still taking the money from the corporations and giving it to the individual. I like to think when I buy from etsy that maybe I am allowing a mother to stay home with her children and by being there will be showing her children that it is possible to earn income without being indebted to the corporation which could lay them off at any time. I believe in providing as much as possible for myself and my family from my garden and other things I find that were believed to have outlived their usefulness.
If each of us took a stand for what we really believe in, staying true to our values, as I am trying to do I think we could make huge changes that the government and those corporations would have to listen to. For instance, my local grocer has listened to us ask for local and organic foods. During our growing season you will find the vast majority of the produce section set out with the signs telling you exactly which farm (and location) the food came from. That’s a huge difference from past years. I will only buy what I need from the local farmers in the store when available. That’s staying true to my values.

This is what I am talking about LSF, if EVERY ONE of us did just those things you speak of here it would indeed go to altering our way of living and in turn alter our governing bodies… This is why I do ‘Feel’ sense LSF that there will be an economic collapse of some nature, because it will only be something so chaotic as to turn our world upside down that we will have to come together and start to live at a community level once again. I see more and more now growing their own veggies, and living simpler lives as they embrace those values you speak of ..

Hi Sue,
What jumped out at me were your words, “Its so easy to let our thoughts carry us away.” What is it really that makes this happen? Thoughts by themselves are harmless just as they are guiltless.They gain their power through attachment as we start believing in them. And as we believe them to be true and internalise them into our belief system do we open the doors to more attachment and suffering.So what could we do? I believe we need to inquire to test their veracity. To quote Byron Katie, “Thoughts are like the breeze or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling.They appear like that, and through inquiry we can make friends with them.”
Loved the post as always.
Cheers and God Bless.

You are right Shakti, our belief in those thoughts bring them power.. Whether that be a thought we have in the positive or in the negative.. Being human we always seem more apt at embracing those Negative ones, because often our Fear of the unknown is more powerful.. Plus we from an early age was taught to fear the unknown.. We are taught much through this method.. And our minds get into this habit of holding onto the familiar and not wanting to Let go of things which we have been taught are our belief systems.. Our Letting go releases us to as you use in your quote to float on the breeze .. We should make those thoughts our friends….For there is in essence No good or bad.. Just Energy.. .. What will be will be.. We are all of us connected to that energy and like receptors we attract and latch onto like-minded Energy… ‘Like attracts Like’ But its our INTENT which projects that power to create more energy of that same vibration.. So if we are living in constant Fear, we send out our Fear and Fear is what will return.. We are each of now upon our journey home… whether those who are here are aware or not.. We made that choice to be here, now, at this moment in time… I am certain our Higher-selves know full well where those choices we make will lead. and nothing is ever by chance, I am also a believer that ALL THINGS Happen for a purpose there are no mistakes, for the Universe knows what its doing..
However I am also aware that we can make our journey along our separate roads as rough or as smooth as we wish.. We all get to our final destination sooner or later, some travel the hard road with many repeated lessons, while others learn faster and progress quicker.. We are all of us Equal .. All exploring our various portions of Self..
Once we shed that belief we need to suffer, Suffering will cease to be.. Once we shed that need to judge and stop judging ourselves and others, the world will be more in balance..
We cannot escape that there has to be both positive and negative energy here in our realm of existence, for the very nature of our Being here in this material form is to experience both.. And we cannot do that without One and the other..
However I do believe and again this is My own ‘Belief’ system kicking in here, that we have come to that pivotal point of change, and if we do not embrace a more positive frame of mind, we can topple those Dominos to a negative conclusion which would mean more suffering for many..
Trying to hold our thoughts impartial should be the key, letting go our our attachment and becoming the observer is what a true master knows to do.. But our Human Emotions and Ego hold us bound at the roots.. Setting us up to follow our emotions..This is what Carries us away…. Our Emotional Responses..
Many thanks for allowing my own emotional response to this wonderfully posed Question to surface Shakti

“Letting Go is easily said, and yet so hard at times to achieve with what ever we are faced with in letting go of”
Very powerful thought and prehapes in each of us the hardest choice to face, its so easy to hold on to things, seek justification and loose real meaning, become stagnant and bitter.
The system is fundementaly flawed and the links are missing, the whole thing set out to provide and protect as become so lost, that it no longer knows what it is.
Its crazy that in this day and age, people struggle to feed there familys, struggle to heat there homes….and yet day by day we churn out more and more rubish that we dont need.
Part of it is our own ill ease with Existence, the one thing we are just given, no one asks anything for it….its just there…….when we stop and consider that it can make us feel a little uneasy, so we justify importance and image and get lost.
The bubble on this system will burst, countrys on the verge of bankrupcy, the workers taxed to the hilt, to bail out the very institutions that put them down.
Lincoln worked hard to free the “slaves” many years ago in the US…….Moses freeded the slaves in the Bible (I think) and yet here we are once more slaves to a system that holds no significance.
Life needs to have meaning and the ruling body needs to listen, stop and feel the heartbeat of life…..I have said this many time in recent talks…..we need to stand together say enough is enough…..not with violence and war, but by taking the flawed tools of a flawed system and making it stop…….here in the UK is a percentage of people just went to the bank and drew out all there cash……very quickly the whole financial system would freeze……nothing illegal in taking your money…..no violence…..no one gets hurt…….but at the same time the government would have to stop….and listen…….may be then we can start living!

Subtle distinction I know but most of us think that our thoughts are who we are. Wrong! Our thoughts are just our thoughts and easy to let go. We are our beliefs and finding them and letting go of those that no longer serve is the none too easy exercise. Once we let go and take on those that make us who we want to be, we can take full responsibility. This internal change is only the start and once we have changed ourselves the world will begin to follow. As you say Sue when 100 of us monkeys come together in like mind Wow! Watch out world!

We are indeed one as one peoples and one being.We are all that is left .The remains of various hominid beings who I truly know were endowed with this same “enlightened” spirit you talk of Sue.
And it is the end of a new beginning ,all of which was prophesied by the same “dominoes” we have left fallen and unaware that the ancients who wrote the script were warning us of all that is unfolding.
I sense many though will not know nor understand as this reality has taken them within its arms of materialism and social conditioning ,sometimes we are blind as to what enlightenment was to be and become.
All creatures great and small and all of life within the energy confines of Mother Earth should of been allowed to flourish under the enlightenment of humanity.
The guidance and the caretaker we were to be has been discarded by lust,greed ,sloth,envy etc.And now in this time within time we can see why the enlightenment some tried to propel along the way of history was meant for all of us beings and not for the good of those who would only benefit by stature.The “conscious caste” of the ages has withheld humanity from reading out of the one book that defines us all.The Book of Love.
This book of course is not full of pages nor was it even written down by the hand of human.It is within our hearts and the measurement of the energy fields and the frequency as to how we truly relate to balance of the above “oneness””.
Considering that all that has been will be in time space and material regardless as you see this same consciousness and the divide that has occurred is an illusion in itself.Consciousness was never trapped with those mechanisms of the mind as it is separate from the world we manifested.
And that my friend can tip these same “dominoes” over in order that we learn who we are.And begin over the cycle of the Golden Age were enlightenment is for everyone .All creatures great and small and all hearts that beat as one within the same oneness that defines truth.The truth of frequency and the vibration of Love .
An essence of unity and the division of none ,some call it the “Utopian consciousness” .I call it being,being one.

Probably a bit of a negative view on my behalf, I suppose, but we’re being forced to focus on the negatives… and thousands of people viewing suffering will inevitably bring in more suffering.

I believe every vibration that we emit goes onward and outward into infinity. That’s all and the best I can do. It does no good for me to fret, worry, ponder and immerse myself in all the ills of the world…absolutely no good. It helps no one. Yes, I still do get indignant and angry towards so much that I would like to change but in the end, I realize I can only live my life as positively and loving as I am able. We can make ourselves sick with worry and concern and just how does that help?
You got a good dialogue going here, Sue…good comments.
Love and hugs,
Gayle

HI Gayle, lovely to see you here…
I agree entirely with your words here Gayle, I get frustrated firstly for the interruptions of the programme Im settled down to watch and then I see just how stupid and childish are some of these adverts which hook people in….
It just got me thinking how gullible people are.. Like watching their Soaps on TV thats all they can talk about are these fictional drama’s… I Feel so sorry for people who get hooked into them and have nothing better to do.. Some actually get very involved in them…
You are right we do the best we can do.. and We now have other more important little charges that we need to nurture into the world’s True ways of BEing 🙂
Thank you For your in-depth comment Hugs Sue xox

I think we are losing more people to technology Sue, not intentionally on their behalf but by the momentum it has evolved into, easy living for those that choose to opt for modern technology and big bucks to those who rule the technology world, these are the people who can only forsee a future in the techno world as opposed to the natural world as the great architect of the universe envisaged.
Cheers girl and keep your heart smiling.

We have to accept we live in a material world Emu, that I accept, and gadgets and technology are part of that as we humans have progressed in this area in Giant Leaps.. But at what cost… Here I am now sat in front of my little screen.. I can communicate across the world to you and others which is great… and some of you I know better than I do my very neighbours across the street.. Some of those I do not even know their names!…
We progress but we have lost much along the way.. We have lost our community Spirit.. We have lost that sharing and caring These are the values which need to return… This is the way I wish the Domino to fall..
Many thanks for your comment Emu… Im smiling back 🙂

That’s a powerful message, Sue. Powerful in the sense of how it impacts our current thinking. Power is very much misused as you have experienced in the TV adverts, the thoughtless manipulation of those who seek only gain for themselves. The state our world is in now, demands a plan already in existence. Technology, science, spiritualism, even common thought, are all coming together to face this global threat. As we become aware of our souls purpose of sharing love and light, we desire to reconnect for the common good. We are sick of this capitalist market and all it encompasses. It is possible, if desired, to live a simpler life. We lack only the will. I do believe there is a shift globally to put the future in more capable hands: our own!
My thanks for your post. Love and blessings,
Andrew.

Thank you for this comment, I know many more are now waking up to commercialism and how often we do not realise we are being manipulated and miss-sold the ‘Truth’…
Many take everything at face value and do not see how the ‘Game’ of life has been played….
But many now are opening their eyes at last and we are gathering our thoughts together more and more collectively and when enough of us start to say Enough.. then we will see the Domino Effect 🙂

Hi my dear I am happy to be back and read your inspirational posts again. I missed it. I just had a long phone call with my friend in Holland that people are unhappy in Holland as so many have to cut back at the moment because of all the . I told her that we choose to cut back when we moved to NZ and when you make it a choice than it doesn’t hurt . We had a roof above our head and enough to eat and that was all that mattered.
I now know when me or my husband loses our job that we will survive and i think most people will survive. My friend and me decided that it will also change their perspective for the good, after going through some pains though. People will have to turn away from materialism and find another view of life if times change.
A way that can save the environment. Yes faith changes mountains and people like you help to make shifts in thinking. Arohanui marja

Hi Sue I am not able to comment anymore so I try one more time ith facebook.
I am happy to read your uplifting posts again. I do think that people like you will make shifts in thinking happen and that;s what is needed first to make change in the world. I was talking to my friend in Holland who told me that many people were deeply unhappy because of government cuts etc. I told her that we choose to live of a little hen we moved to NZ and because it was a choice it didn’t hurt, as long as we had enough to eat and a warm place to live and we were able to tick these boxes.
I think many people will have to go to the pain of letting loose of materialism but eventually it might mean a changed perception ith a new goal in life. That would automatically help the environment if when people become more aware.
So I think there is hope and of course as you said faith is important and all little changes help Take care and arohanui

We live in a throw away world .. But we are going to have to come back to basics.. and a much simpler way of living very soon… Bless you Marja.. Hugs Sue xox

Hello my friend!
Wow! I am so glad I read from your blog today, even if just for a little bit.
I too have a hard time letting go of thoughts at night, but lately, I am so fatigued and not feeling well that in the evening I sort of pass out. I wake then at three or four am not feeling so well. All the thoughts built up and like a tower they come crashing down on me. It isn’t fun. I have lately been drinking Sleepy Time tea, and it helps.
I wish more people thought like you, Sue. I get upset inside when I hear Americans talk about our President in the context of him being (without saying the word) against Democracy and freedom. They say he wants to bring us down, but I don’t believe it.
I read yesterday and watched a video about Ivory and the elephants. The show was on our public television station. My heart breaks for the elephants. I am surprised lately at what all is on that station. I hope, in my heart, that more and more people might watch, and hear the message, which has been the same for a long time. We need to care about each other and our planet more than we do money. It is plain and simple.
Many people are hanging on to old ideas that have wreaked havoc on not only our planet, but our communities and families.
As a child, my Baptist grandmother told me that one day, at the end of time, families would be fighting each other. She described a world that looks very much like America does today.
Fear and greed runs the show, and those of us who think about love, kindness and caring for the planet are called names that hold no respect. I would rather be on the side of love.
I hope you managed to sleep. Thank you so much for sharing with the world Sue. Your words are powerful and moving.
Sweet dreams to you, for many nights to come. May you be Blessed with peace in your mind.
Love,
Michelle xoxo

Michelle, so lovely that you felt like dropping by and commenting, Yes its hard to get out of our human habits of worrying and our minds never run on empty do overtime in the twilight hours.. Ive been pondering upon just what we all can do in our lives to bring about changes for the positive.. And you also have helped me within this thinking zone Michelle, as you with your Green Healing Notes have turned something into a positive by your connection with nature .. Something we all can do… Breathing in love and light, and letting all the debris from our hearts be expelled …. So simple we think its too easy to work.. But the more I see how we hang onto all our worrying the more we send those negative vibes out into the cosmos as we fear the consequences of the damage we are doing..
I hope to create a post.. Its half in my mind..
I have been sleeping better thank you
I hope you soon feel stronger Michelle and Brighter… sending you a Big Cosmic Hug xoxox

It’s so important Sue, as you say in your post, to realise that we can make a difference. I think that this is the single thing which immobilises people and contributes to apathy with e.g. the environment, we often feel that what we are doing can have no significance. But of course, if we all work on these things, it makes a huge difference. Brilliant post Sue xx
