MANIPULATION

Quite a change in weather the last two days. Tuesday, we watched flying insects cavort in the Sunbeams. This is the second time this Winter we saw this. I have seen a couple different varieties of snow fleas during the Winter; but I have never seen a cloud of flying insects. It is not real cold yet; 12 degrees now, but it supposed to get down to zero tonight. I appreciate a mild Winter, but I would like to see some snow.

Part of the reason I haven't blogged is because I didn't know how to fulfill the promise I made at the end of my last blog. I don't think it would be helpful to discuss all the ways we have been manipulated in the last several thousand years. A discussion of the manipulation would fill several volumes and it would not leave you more hopeful.

You could say, without error, that we have been completely bamboozled about almost everything. From the time we are born, we are taught group think. We develop a powerful allegiance to our tribe. Whether the tribe be Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Americans, Italians, Germans, Middle Class, Working Class, Upper class, Rich, Poor; I don't think I need to go on. No matter how you define yourself; that groups' values and ideas has a powerful conscious and unconscious sway over how you think.

As far as we can go back in our history, there have been people who have used this phenomena to their advantage. Money and power has, generally, been the goal of these groups. They have successfully used the groupthink, of the rest of us, to divide us and keep us in conflict. They have amassed huge fortunes as the results of the wars they have engineered and they continue to do so. How much do our large banks owe their fortunes to war? Where do countries get the money to wage war? Who gains from war? Who gains from any conflict?

In the coming months we will uncover information about how we have been controlled that will make most conspiracy theories a seem as child's play. We will be amazed at how we have been fooled. Every segment of our society has been corrupted by those who seek power and money.

But that is the characteristic of the old world. My hesitancy in getting into this area, is that some people get absorbed in it and that is not helpful. We must accept the fact that reality is not the bill of goods that we have been presented with; but then we must move on. The world needs people to open their eyes and see the love that underpins the illusion. You may not understand that sentence, but you will.

In the end we need to forgive those who have been our jail keepers. The new world is based on unconditional love; we will forgive those who have misused us. Everybody is evolving to a state of unconditional love and those miscreants will create situations where they will learn.

Today we need to shine our light on the world. Imagine yourself to be a many faceted crystal that reflects the love of the universe in the hearts and minds of all people.
