NOW

We have had a bit of relief from the cold. It has been very pleasant the last three days. We have more snow in the forecast and then it will turn cold again. However, I think it will be 'normal' Winter, not the extreme cold of last week.

I glance at the writings of people who like to make predictions. They seem to all agree we are at the end of an age. The difference is some see it as a calamity; a collapse of economic and social structure that it will take generations to crawl out of. Others observe a rise in consciousness which will enable folks to let down the economic system gently while being replaced with one that is substantial.

I certainly don't know, but I agree with those who believe in a gentle transition. The light is intensifying to such a degree, that I can't imagine anything but a gentle, even glorious, transition.

Guidance comes when our minds are quiet. The more we can be in the 'now' the better we will see.

As we have discussed before, the controlling factions are not going to give up easy. They don't like relinquishing power. They will create as much chaos as they can, and since they still have control of the mass media, we will hear about it.

We can ignore them. We can live our lives, love our families and neighbors, take care of each other and ignore the news.

Yes, we can live in our family, community and social units and enjoy our lives. As we express our love for one another, we will be building the new social structure that we have been dreaming of. We will see everybody as equal. No more divisions because of gender, racial, national, sexual preference, or other descriptions. We will recognize everybody's right to make their own choices. We are free and we help everyone else to be free. It goes without saying that one's expression of freedom cannot limit another's freedom. Can that be an issue when we see ourselves as one?

Many of us have already discovered that giving and receiving are the same. Another way of saying this is; we can only give to ourselves. The more we give, the more we enrich our lives. We all have a gift that enhances our lives and others. In the new world we are creating everyone will have the opportunity and necessary leisure to discover their gifts. Everybody has something they love to do; whether it is woodworking, carpentry, weaving, plumbing, electrical work, art, gardening, animal husbandry, medicine, dentistry, philosophizing etc., it is all a contribution to the whole.

The media is gradually shifting, but until it does, we need to ignore the siren call to fear. We will be invited to fear the future. We must learn to reject all invitations to fear.

Let us bring ourselves back to the now when ever we find our minds straying. Love is here, 'now'. Let us remind ourselves throughout the day [every day] that we are magnificent beings of love. All we can do is love.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
