Are we ready to Shift our ways of being?
Are we going to change our stories?
Are we going to Change the world of Fear?
“The Secret to Change is not Fighting the Old, But finding the Power to fight for the New ”
Lots of negative stories around our world at the moment, the fight I speak of is not physical.. It all starts within our own minds.. So send out your Peace, create by example of caring, do not get embroiled in anger or take sides.
If we are to have true peace in the world, we must first find it within ourselves.
When we look inside ourselves for the meaning of peace, we will begin to understand it has always been difficult to come by. This in itself will enable us to be compassionate toward the many people in the world who find themselves caught up in conflicts both personal and worldwide.
We each need to create that peaceful centre within, but because we are human we also feel the pull in the opposite direction—the desire to defend ourselves, to keep what we feel belongs to us, to protect our loved ones and our cherished ideals, and the anger we feel when threatened. These are natural instincts each of us have..
This awareness is important because we cannot truly know peace until we understand the many tendencies and passions that threaten our ability to find it.
Peace necessarily includes, even as it transcends, all of our primal energy, much of which has been expressed in ways that contradict peace.
Out of Chaos comes Clarity..
Learning to control our anger and emotions is perhaps the most difficult part for many of us, because we want so much to disown the negative aspects of our humanity.
Many of us have gone through times of hurts and turmoil, but we have emerged stronger through those experiences..
The world now is also going through a Shift where Chaos seems to be pulling so much apart.. But the old ways of being are being torn down. and people are reacting and speaking out..
True peace begins with a willingness to take responsibility for our humanity so that we might ultimately transform it in the light of our love..
We but need to create by example of our own actions.
~Peacefully~
Thank you for reading..

The strength comes as you say not from fighting the old, but rather creating the new…That is where our consciousness must remain, in seeing the vision of what we want and going after it. You can’t go after something unless you know what you want….we shall complete this process in due time and all will be well..Thanks for sharing DW…Blessings…VK

Awesome, awesome, awesome post Sue! We have been systematically taught to deny our own feminine power, and we must embrace the tremendous rage we have towards those painful truths by converting it into a higher expression of energy – the action of surrender to Love. To witness and embody this tremendous shift in consciousness is something I feel so blessed to be a part of.
As I step into my creative power, I watch in awe as my own entire world changes…and the best part about living from a place of true love, strength and compassion is that you literally see how it transforms everyone and everything you touch.
No one is beyond the reach and Power of true Love, Compassion and Creativity.
In solidarity…!!

last night was one of those nights of no sleep…I kept hearing rain, each time getting up to watch the storm I was hearing, but…no rain…I went outside to wander and as I walked I felt rain even though it wasn’t there…it was the strangest experience, after laying there for the last couple hours before the twilight of dawn, I got up…and still hearing rain, I went back outside…the skies look different this morning, it had the strangest glow, and now it is a grey day, though no rain is forecasted…it feels ..well I don’t know what it feels like…all I know for sure is as I type this I am still hearing rain…. *sigh* where ever my spirit is today it is pouring rain
your post today is where I have been wandering in thoughts, as each fear is let go,
I see more of thought shifting process….I catch myself talking more to my plants 🙂
tomorrow is not a new day, today is change continuing as I think it is so….I slipped over two days, but it was easier to come back this time….
I enjoyed the video….and I always enjoy the energy of though you have to open a window for us to see ….and I am getting ready to watch one of the others ones that came up after yours….
each time I read about the global shifts, I wander if any one else feels the small crystals in the computers drawing those to us that are meant to be part of part in this shifting of times….
Take Care Sue….You Matter…

‘. . . the old ways of being are being torn down, and people are reacting and speaking out. . . ‘
I very much agree that this is so myself Sue. What I sense is that the informed and reflective citizenry are ahead of the curve which the mainstream media and politicians are navigating. So there’s a disconnect between how the former perceives the state of the world and how the latter erroneously thinks that it is being perceived.
The ‘Occupy’ movement was a peaceful, intelligent and popular one, yet it was dismantled largely by means of force, political coercion and the collusion of the mainstream media. The younger generation, in particular, need to cohere around a peaceful collective entity that signals your message – of peace and change – to the elected, their sponsors the corporates, and to the media.
This is a tall order, not least of all because it must come, as you rightly stress, from a position of personal integrity in which the concept of ‘peace’ is not merely some metaphysical abstraction, but is a lived and breathed actuality. And this, of course, takes work; it takes earnest commitment for change to come about within, and it takes messengers of integrity such as yourself to provide guiding signs.
Many thanks for your powerful and eloquent message Sue.

We hear about all of the problems of the world and we are so much more aware of them than we used to be thanks to the power of social media. Individuals feel powerless to do anything or make a difference and depression is on the rise BUT we need to stop focusing globally and start looking in our immediate vicinity to make a difference. If we all lived our lives carefully, simply, caringly and with regard for the planet and everything/one else living on it the world would change. It IS up to us to live the best life that we can and to turn the tide by our own actions rising up in a huge groundswell of change. It IS possible…we just have to stop feeling helpless and start.

Yes I so so empathise Kimberly, and I know we can only do what we can within our own energy.. But sending out our thoughts of Peace and Compassion is helping heal.. To add our thoughts of condemnation or judgement is as we know only adding to the negative mix.. The Media are doing their own good job of spreading enough of that around..
While I know there are many many more who stand in the light and are trying to bring Peace within their own world.. At times that is all we can do

“The world now is also going through a Shift where Chaos seems to be pulling so much apart.. But the old ways of being are being torn down. and people are reacting and speaking out..” ( Nations as well as personal are breaking apart as people speak out their truth )
“True peace begins with a willingness to take responsibility for our humanity so that we might ultimately transform it in the light of our love..” ( We are acknowledging our faults, and more exposure is now coming forth of the wrongs and cover-ups in the world )

we now have a chance to change our evolution –
We need to change our thoughts even before they become actions, if we wait until they become actions then nothing will change for the better. While ‘want’ out strips ‘needs’ then the needy will continue to do without no matter what it is that they need. Right now in the world we are not meeting basic needs to sustain life not even in the countries we call Westernised. We need to start on our door steps and although all humans should be entitled to education we also all need to know how to farm the land and build a house and if necessary milk a cow.

Good evening Sue, great topic for food for thought.
I am starting to accept the fact that many peoples in many countries are peaceful and can live in harmony.
It is some countries whose beliefs and spirituality is based on thousands of years of warfare and conflict, their ideology is based on this thinking.
No matter how hard our positive outlook is or our prayers go, some people and races cannot, nor want to change their ideas of warfare for peace, they have never experienced peace or love or communal harmony.
Sorry for going on Sue but having just read a very good book, that explained in depth, the causes of most of the worlds problems, I couldnt get it out of my mind.

This is so true Ian.. Indoctrinated thoughts are ingrained within them to hate and hold prejudices.. It is this minority that the world manipulators keeps within the boiling pots as hot spots around the war as its the western world who makes money from selling arms to these places… War is not the peoples choice… But that of their leaders..
