I agree with Suzanne…threatening people will not solve a crisis. Yet, don’t we create our reality through our thinking? On the other hand, if a hurricane is barreling down the road and you just stand there…will you be killed or does even that depend on your own reality? Think about the guy who refused to leave Mt. St. Helena…he was SURE that nothing was going to happen to him and guess what…he was baked like Baked Alaska! Where does spirituality end and absurdity begin?

From Suzanne:
I frequently think of my friend with no insurance who totaled her car that she had protected with white light. Creating your own reality and thinking positively are concepts that can be embraced, but not simplistically. They require interpretation.

I have a strong feeling that the old order has to collapse to make way for the new. A new age can’t emerge as long as the system of corporate greed and military violence is in charge. That system is collapsing, with help from the Planet. I have a feeling that the “bad guys” — including the talk media yahoos — have consciously (at a higher level) incarnated to be the wrecking crew of the old order. Collapse is not a pretty sight, but it is necessary so that rebuilding can take place.

From Suzanne:
Breakdown usually precedes breakthrough, and we seem to be hell bent on it now. How bad does it have to get before we make fundamental change? Maybe much worse — frogs slowly cooking to death instead of leaping out of the pot come to mind. The circles could create a peaceful route, where we are forced by the recognition that there is other intelligence to reevaluate how humanity doesn’t dominate the universe. A little humility could go a long way.

It’s an old adage that our thoughts become our beliefs and those beliefs become our reality. If we think black, black will think for us.

Yes, we humans are in a great deal of trouble; but that is as it is. No gain in fighting. As energy beings, let’s put that effort into good, no matter what happens. If we think from a positive vein then only good can come from that. The answer to all these problems/issues lies within the spiritual realm. And yes, ‘prayer is not enough, we must still do something’.

If you do not believe this, then just roll over and quit blogging.

From Suzanne:

Now, now, I don’t think spiritual laws include threats to people who don’t operate by them. Actually, I do adhere to the same kind of thinking, but there’s interpretation that goes along with adages. Thinking positively doesn’t go along with denying reality. (Read what I wrote that relates to that: http://theconversation.org/blog/formula-for-living.org.)

“All praise to Allah but keep your camel tied,” hopefully would be agreeable to both of us.
