Do You Have 6.5 Minutes?

 

 

Happy New Year

 

Do you have 6 1/2 minutes to simply stop what you’re doing to elevate your energy, open your heart and bond with the universal spirit that connects us all? If so, please watch this video:

 

 

Although there is a Christian reference in the very beginning, please know my message goes to all people regardless of religious belief or no belief at all. God is Love and wouldn’t it be a good way to start the New Year if every one of us continuously integrated it into our lives on a deeper and more profound level, because love is not a thing to believe . . .

 

“Love is not a thing to understand.

Love is not a thing to feel.

Love is not a thing to give and receive.

Love is a thing only to become and eternally be.”

and any road you use to get there is OK with me.

 

This New Year, may each of us be acutely aware of what Lee Mun Wah said:

“I cannot keep from thinking about [politicians] telling a reporters that cutting 700 billion dollars from Medicaid, 23 billion from food stamps and cutting 50% from the Pell grants that helps poor income students to go college really won’t affect the poor, the old and the hungry. Or the horrible image of the seventy-six year old woman burning in an elevator set afire by a man who said she owed him thousands of dollars. Or the 20^th young person committing suicide in the past two years, by hanging herself because of being harassed and bullied for being different- the youngest victim being only ten years old. Or the young African American student who came to school excited to show his friends how he had his barber cut him a second part in his hair, only to have the principal fill it in with a permanent black marker because he felt it was “improper social attire.” I can still hear the young boy’s mother crying out, wondering why no one stopped this horrible thing from happening.

I do not know how to reconcile all these events in my life. All I know is that as this year is about to expire. We must remember to care for those around us, to look up and to see those who are hungry and poor and without hope and be outraged enough to do something about it. Mother Teresa was right,

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

And so, my wish for all of you in this New Year is that you remember to love and to cry. There is so much to be thankful for and so much that we each can do to make this a more compassionate and just world. “

 

 

If you . . .

• Don’t have 6 1/2 minutes right now (or even later) to view something that connects you to your Higher Self . . .
• Simply identify the reason why.
• It is likely running your life and keeping you from being fully present and joyful in this world.
