LOVE YOURSELF & FEEL YOUR POWER

I love humanity, I just don't care much for the

inherited opinions, judgements or primitive ideas people

 cling to instead of rationally developing authentic critical thinking.

I believe we are capable of such greatness, such love and generosity

and yet, we are so monumentally lazy.

Intransigence, which is paralyzing fear, 

seems to be our primary shortcoming.

It's apparent in our acceptance of a military budget, 

which if cut by 75%, would still be greater 

than all other countries combined.

The thing we're so afraid of isn't outside of us.

In the first ten years of life, we experience our environment

without questioning the world around us.  

We accept it, developing beliefs about ourselves based on what

we're told by those caring for us. 

We form beliefs about the way the world is and 

how we need to be, based 

on actions and consequences reflected back to us

 by those same caretakers.   

Meanwhile we are simultaneously forgetting 

what we really are and why we came forth.

We forget our own inherent power and accept the idea

of real power being in an imaginary being 

or in the accumulation of material things, spending a large portion

of our lives waiting or looking for something to save us.

Whichever it is, the power base is certainly not within us.

We settle into a rut of belief or trench of thought which is 

passed to us by those who, well-meaning or not, create the 

grooves in our minds of what is possible, 

what is right or righteous, and ultimately, what is acceptable.

Initially, we those accept those beliefs because we see adults, 

primarily parents, as God and Goddess, infallible and all-knowing.

Of course, when we're older, we realize this isn't true or even fair, 

but by then, we are already running those messages through our minds daily, sometimes hating ourselves 

for believing them, keeping us trapped in them.

There is nothing to be saved from except the thought that we need saving.

We came here Divinely equipped to do everything we wanted to do

when we decided to come forth.
