Chapter One

The struggles of man put aside, the planet and its people are moving forward at light speed. Mankind has taken hold of the idea of spirituality first and foremost and has begun to embrace the fact that it is the way of the future. Man's way of manipulation has not worked. It may supply a temporary fix; but only temporary, as there are residual effects to manipulation. Many men do not see, but it is felt throughout mankind and eternity. You do not realize the impact your thoughts, acts, or deeds have upon one another and the rest of humanity. You struggle and in your efforts to avoid struggle, you put a bandage on a situation only to find out that the bandage did not stick. Nothing sticks like Divinity. Man's idea of quick fixes only prolongs the agony. It also delays his development and contribution to the world. We are all here to make a contribution. No one gets away with not contributing. However, the choices we make dictate the contribution we end up making. If you make the contribution you were sent to make, you make a positive impact on society at large. If you shirk your responsibility, you also have a ripple effect on mankind and diminish what could have been. If everyone did as they were told, all would be well and in balance.

But man has his own idea of how it should be. He wants it his way. Well, how is that working? It's not in most cases, because man is delivering his message in a guarded, slanted and altered view. He is living his life out of fear-based decisions and affecting mankind in a negative rather than positive way.

If man took responsibility for who he is, how he is living, and what he is contributing, he would think differently as he would realize that who he is matters. And, he matters not only to his immediate family and environment, but also to the world at large. All on the planet have a contributing force to contend with, and they make a choice on a daily basis as to how they contribute. Are you contributing in a positive or a negative manner?

You think you're the only one who knows you, but that is not true. We all know. Each and every individual in existence knows who you are and what you do and how you live. You can't hide. Some of you believe you can actually hide from God; that God doesn't notice. He notices everything! Believe me. He doesn't miss a trick. You think you are getting away with something and you're not. Not in the least. You can't hide a thing. You can't hide anything on the global level either. We are all one in the universe coming out of the same Source, believe it or not. The ramification of that is that on some level, we all know one another and are responsible for one another. If you recognize that one fact, you will begin treating each other with more respect and tolerance. Your brethren are only a reflection of and a different aspect of you. You cannot hide who you are from them no more than they can hide themselves from you.

Each individual may not be consciously aware enough to recognize and fully comprehend this fact; however, knowing this as truth may cause you to live your life a bit differently. Could you imagine a world wherein all treated each other well, knowing that the way they treat others was only a reflection of how they treat themselves? If you treat someone badly, you are only demonstrating to him or her how badly you think of and treat yourself.

You can't hide from anyone anymore. Too many people on the planet are becoming "conscious," aware, so those who remain "unconscious" and who operate in that manner will stand out in the crowd, and not necessarily in a positive way. Do you want attention drawn to you because of your lack of true worldliness, because of your inability to know who you are both as an individual and in context with the world in which you live?

People often chuckle about or ridicule those they do not understand—psychics, people who see ghosts and spirits, who believe in reincarnation or even those who believe in God, for that matter (or are vocal about it). People who laugh and carry on, and criticize those who have an insight of more than meets the eye, are only demonstrating their ignorance and lack of personal growth to the world. Just because they can't see something themselves, does not mean it doesn't exist. But, so many stand up and ridicule others so vocally it's laughable. The loudest think that they are the smartest. If they only knew how ridiculous they appeared to others who really know, they might quiet their stand in public. How embarrassing for people who tout this theory and that theory, knowing nothing of what they speak.

But those who do know usually remain quiet because they fear being ridiculed. They give their power to these louts because they are afraid of what people will say and think of them. What does it matter if it's the truth? Wouldn't you rather take a stand for what you know and believe, than cower to those who are ignorant because you value their opinion of you? The need for acceptance has held mankind back from full self-expression for eons because they are more worried about what people think of them than what job...
