		<content type="html">Wouldn't it be wonderful if we spent as much time thinking good thoughts as we did bad thoughts? Wouldn't it be nice, if we spent more time appreciating what is and thinking about what we would have become? Wouldn't it be nice if we could hold the feeling of hopefulness longer than the feelings of despair? Wouldn't that be nice?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wouldn't it be wonderful if we quit using the word "trying".&amp;nbsp; "Trying" says, "I can't do this thing I wish to do!" It tells the subconscious that we are victims and weak. Better to say, "I intend to do this thing," or "It is my goal to do this thing." Wouldn't it be nice if we quit "trying?" &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wouldn't it be wonderful if people would cease to use the word "worry." Worry is the projection of doom and fear into the future. "I will worry about this!" Worry takes some situation from the past, projects it fearfully in to the present and obsesses on its realizing itself in our future! Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't do that? Wouldn't it be nice if instead we said, "I have this concern so may be I need to take the means to address it!" Now that is proactive! Wouldn't that be nice?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And lastly, wouldn't is be wonderful if we took that feeling of guilt and tossed it out of our realities? Guilt is a habitual and&amp;nbsp; useless feeling or condition derived from something in the past. It has little to do with the present time! It can be resolved by either seeking to repair whatever past damage was done, or by just saying to oneself, "Oh well, I did&amp;nbsp; it because that is what I knew to do!I will accept&amp;nbsp; that I did it, and forgive myself now,&amp;nbsp; and resolve not to do it anymore! So be it!"&amp;nbsp; Wouldn't that be nice?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">Breathe easy into this day, into this moment. When all things around you bound you and crumble, breathe easy, for in that very breath safety is, God is, and in that breath moment all is. This may not solve the problems of your world overall, but for a brief moment you can have relief and appreciate the beauty around you...the freshness of the air...the many colors and hues of the fall leaves... the smile that love brings in remembering a child, a lover or a pet...the sweetness of sugar, the brightness of light reflecting on window panes. Take a moment to breathe into this day, into the appreciation of all that you do have, that surrounds you in beauty, for there is always something to ease the spirit and allow the flow. Blessings do abound everywhere! Breathe that you may appreciate these, and they will help lighten and ease the challenges of your day. &lt;br&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I hold the promise and well being of the whole planet and all its people, creatures and terrain in thoughts of light and love and Divine Source presence, as I ask, dream and imagine an unfolding&amp;nbsp; unprecedented in our recorded history.&amp;nbsp; I see and image with great joy, gratitude and hopeful expectation, that we soon come into a time on this dear Earth Mother, as predicted in many ancients texts of "peace on Earth and goodwill towards all!"&amp;nbsp; I see that we do so with relative ease compared to that which we have already reaped upon ourselves, and this planet,&amp;nbsp;through our wars, arrogance and total disrespect for each other and the very web of life that sustains us all.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; What I intend to communicate here is that I envision a time soon unfolding, as old systems and institutions fall away and&amp;nbsp;crumble, that new ones emerge, that support the well being of&amp;nbsp;the planet and all its peoples, in a&amp;nbsp;kind of world I would have evolve for my children, grand children and&amp;nbsp;their grand children and yours, one in which all might respectfully subsist and thrive! &amp;nbsp; I see a&amp;nbsp; world where we understand our interconnection to all things, so that we 'grok" that if we hurt, bomb, maim another that it serves no purpose but to cause more pain upon ourselves. It is the law of cause and effect and the law of attraction at work. These are universal and immutable laws,&amp;nbsp;believe it or not!&amp;nbsp; We cannot heal the present by carrying our disappointments and a vengeance of the past and putting these before us and then looking back and saying, "they did this to me!" We have done that for millenniums! How many wars have we fought for God and religions? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; We can only heal by allowing what is past to remain there. It is done and can not be undone. We don't have to like it, but we can not change it or alter it.&amp;nbsp; We can however breathe into the present moment and accept that it was so, and then move forward&amp;nbsp;breath by breath with the highest expectation and see the world we would have "be-coming"&amp;nbsp; in our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams and&amp;nbsp; realities, and we can take whatever actions&amp;nbsp; in those directions.&amp;nbsp; Wouldn't it be wonderful to celebrate and respect our diversity and then to ask for a 'win-win" for everyone. If we don't imagine it, it can't become, for everything that is here presently, was first born in&amp;nbsp;imagination or thought. The critical mass consciousness mind gets what it&amp;nbsp;focuses on every time. Will you join me on creating this new world for your children and grand-children and the seven generations beyond them?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I hold hope for the world, unequivocally. What about you? And don't go to your past to dialogue your desired future, because we done that already for millenniums!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content>

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;The desire and attempt&amp;nbsp; by&amp;nbsp; Pastor Terry Jones of Dove World Outreach to burn the Quran is an incendiary and un-Christian act of defiance and hatred and defies the very principles&amp;nbsp; of Christianity, which is founded in "peace" as in the words of Jesua Ben Joseph, aka Jesus, what he stood for, spoke of and died for. To call his church the "Dove World Outreach" whose symbol, the dove, represents "peace"&amp;nbsp; further defies the whole meaning of this symbol, idea and word. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What did Jesus say? "Kill the enemy?" "Behave as does the enemy!" "behave in a hateful manner?" Under whose authority is this pastor behaving? Certainly not on the authority of Jesus or of God, but on the authority of his own self-righteous, judgmental, angry, vindictive ego which to me looks a lot more like the Devil's work and behavior than that which he professes to be, which is a Christian. The zealots of Christianity are no different than the zealots of Islam or of any other religious sect. If the slogan is of hatred, separation, defiance then I would say it is not Christianity or Islam nor is it serving a good God or the greater good of all humanity. There is a law. It was expressed by he who Christianity espouses and is found in the Golden rule...."Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I offer an olive branch to all people of the world, knowing that what we all long for truly is peace in our lives, food upon our table, good work, love, home and family. Mostly what we want is a healthy, happy world for future generations. I believe and know that it is possible for us to have a win, win for everyone, but in order to do that we have to clean up the judgment (the beam within our own eye," and in doing so, that which is outside of us will slowly clean up too. It is the way of the prophet.&amp;nbsp; Terry Jones, you are not representative of God's Divine love. You serve the "anti" one. Take you now the dove of peace and take that huge beam out of your eye. Your enemy is within you.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: verdana;"&gt;I started this BLOG so I would be able to send out a communication on the rumblings of my mind on timely planetary issues. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today's issue is simply based on working with the "Law of Attraction" which says, that "whatsoever we focus on we draw to us." Wow! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see, many of us believe that we are powerful co-creators and attractors, like magnets, for that which we focus on. It is based on the philosophy, that what I perceive IS, because I perceive it SO. If I change my perception, then that outside of me changes as well.&amp;nbsp; Biblically you have heard the phrasing, "ask and it is given. &amp;nbsp;Knock and the door shall be open unto you." And indeed it is, if we simply get out of the way and allow it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;What an opportunity we all have therefore to create the scenarios in our lives that we would draw to us. The problem however may be, that when we focus for any length of time, on that which we may not wish to bring in, we bring it in, every time, &amp;nbsp;whether it is our intention to do so or not.&amp;nbsp; Verrrrry interrrresting!&amp;nbsp; More later! Thanks.&lt;/span&gt;</content>
