Embracing Change with Love
Embracing Change with Love
Saturday, 21 March, 2009 12:19 AM
From: "Harold W. Becker"
To: "'John Goltz'"
Dear Friends,
We are such amazing beings of infinite capacity and potential. Our boundless imagination, coupled with our wondrous will, allows us to bring our ideas into outer reality. Through our thoughts and feelings, we can literally create and experience that which we dream of in our heart of hearts. With patience and trust we manifest whatever we truly seek to experience on this grand adventure.
Whether we realize it or not, we create this way every moment. Yet, so often we become mired in habit and routine and stop being present with our imagination and the wisdom of our heart. Instead, we allow outmoded and outdated beliefs to take over rather than being aware of our creative choice. The unquestioned stream of mental thoughts, subtle notions of our emotional disposition, and very often, the outer suggestions of others, begin to dictate our identity, our actions and reactions.
That is, until something comes along to awaken us. This is frequently in the form of an accident, illness, unexpected event or circumstances that instantly disrupts our routine. If we are deeply rooted in habit, mentally or emotionally focused in the past or future, or simply unaware of our own creative spirit, this experience is usually met with great resistance and defiance by our outer personality or ego. The defenses, justification, victimhood and righteousness are often our immediate reaction to the fear and doubt that comes instantly to the surface. We become afraid of the change that has already happened.
How would our lives be different if we chose to be present in each moment knowing that change is constant and the very nature of life itself? What would happen if we actually embraced change as a wonderful opportunity to restore our creative capacity and begin anew with love?
Life is fluid, expansive and recreating itself every moment; we need only pay attention to the natural world to realize this. From the cycle of the seasons to the ever flowing rivers, the ceaseless life giving energy of the sun, the acorn becoming the mighty oak, or the rhythmic pulse of our own heartbeat, nature understands and embraces change. No two moments are exactly the same and love is forever present.
Always remember who you are – a beautiful and outrageously creative being capable of manifesting a world filled with peace, joy and unconditional love. Now is the perfect moment to imagine a new potential and choose it for yourself and the world around you.
Love, light and peace,
Harold W. Becker

A Spring Note From Miss Mellie Rainbow
GLOBAL LOVE DAY (2008)
My Beloveds,
Angels sang to me this morning and awakened me from a lovely slumber.
Today I pray for each beautiful sentient being throughout the Universe.
I visualize us enveloped in a world of peace, with equanimity, and joy.
Still, my heart cries at our need for violence, at our rationale for killing, at our thoughts of the inevitability of war, and economic collapse. Painfully I address the lack of opportunity, literacy and safety for those in the United States, and extend my thoughts globally.
There is no reason or need for poverty of mind, body or spirit
---other than the desire for a few to have MORE.
More money, more land, more stocks, more fun in the Alps ---MORE.
Though I am grateful for each of my blessings,
Today I too am asking for MORE.
My more is in direct relation to a desire for equity for all people,
the sustainability of our Earth, and the healing of all disease.
My more is hope, joy, compassion, and understanding.
My more is a world filled with conscious intention and love.
My more is a request to ask that we honor our seniors, share them with our precious children and provide them with the best of ourselves.
MORE. My more is a dream of humility, respect and diplomacy as we learn to interact with each other heart to heart.
MORE. My more is for us to vision and create a world of cooperation where we allow others the dignity of returning to their homelands instead of creating political obstacles to peace.
Yes today my heart sings a melody of more---more understanding, more compassion, more willingness to share the fruits of our labor.
I believe our potential of greatness. I believe in a society that says right NOW---let’s redefine our commitment to each other.
Please, let us remember the voice of the Great Spirit.
Let us ask more of ourselves as we meet each other in Grace,
and walk side by side, heart to heart.
Let us have more listening, more kindness, more truth, more hope and more faith as we embrace the Divine in each of us.
This Is My Request of MORE!

CHANGE HAS COME TO AMERICA
'Change has come to America'
Wednesday, November 5 07:28 am
• Barack Obama has become the first black US president
after a landslide election victory.
Obama wins historic US election
RELATED CONTENT
• Obama considers top job for Clinton
• Fierce speculation Obama will choose Clinton as top diplomat
Related Hot Topic: John McCain
The 47-year-old Democrat led his Republican rival John McCain by 297 votes to 139 as he passed the magic number of 270 needed to win the presidency at 4am GMT. Later projections showed he won by 349 votes to 158.
Mr Obama promised change and a new dawn of leadership.
Speaking after sweeping a series of key battleground states in a landslide electoral college victory, he pledged to be a president of all Americans and vowed to overcome challenges which were "the greatest of our lifetime", including two wars, a global economic crisis and a planet in peril.
"I promise you, we as a people will get there," he said.
Cheered on by tens of thousands of supporters in Chicago's Grant Park, Mr Obama took to a stage lined with US flags with his his wife Michelle and young daughters Malia, ten, and Sasha, seven, at his side.
Mr Obama told those whose support he had not won: "I hear your voices, I need your help and I will be your president too."
He said he would listen to his opponents, adopt a multilateral approach to world affairs and told those watching outside the US that "our stories are singular but our destiny is shared".
"The new dawn of America leadership is at hand," he said.
"To those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security, we support you.
"And to all those who have wondered if American's beacon still burns as bright, tonight we've proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
"That's the true genius of America. The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even in one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
"I promise you, we, as a people, will get there."
Many in the crowd were crying and even political pundits on major US TV networks wiped tears from their eyes as the man who could transform race relations in America ascended to the highest office in the land.
Conceding defeat in his home state of Arizona, Mr McCain said: "The American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly. This is an historic election."
Mr McCain joined outgoing president George W Bush in calling Mr Obama to congratulate him personally.
Mr Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, will be sworn in as the 44th US president on January 20, 2009.
The win by Mr Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and white mother from Kansas, comes 45 years after the high point of the equality movement led by Martin Luther King Jr.
The assassinated civil rights leader's daughter Bernice King said: "I was very excited tonight and moved to tears."

Latest Message from TLF Founder
Life is such a wonderful journey when we allow it to be filled with love. From the intimate focus within each breath to the infinite expansion of a starlit night, we are all part of this miraculous and magnificent adventure.
Our bodies are the vehicle in which our senses experience the changes of the seasons and the rhythms of our heartbeat, while our greater consciousness allows us to connect to the universal love that weaves its way through all creation.

To:
"PAMELA STANSFIELD"
HYMN TO HUMAN LOVE
There is something we can do
with the sky falling and gas rising
jobs shredding and income going
It is to love. Start small-with a plant,a cat,a dog
unconditionally extend to that which
does not necessarily return your affection-
land,sea,earth,sky-why
people have loved these elements before and after you
and will love them as much as you
It is just a lesson in what you can do
when you choose to love.Now you have extended
from nature to animals to living plants and pets
in time you may choose to love human beings
First you need to find them! They hide well!
Humans have been hunted for their affection since the cave age
and often present targets for wars,seductions,false prophets
Relax.Love yourself.That will get you through times
when no other love seems real.Then be surprised by what you feel
when other love manifests /attuned to you

T'is a little sad, but a crisis of redundancy = also an opportunity for change, a fresh breath of air! A move from London to the coastal parts & / or country-side!
That is our prayer for the opening up of the Vision and Mission"One Earth".

"Unconditional Love"
20 Mar 2008
Dear Friends,
We are such amazing beings of potential. At our core center, we have a spark of life filled with infinite love. This love is pure, natural and unconditional. Like an endless reservoir, it flows without limit whenever we breathe into the moment and remember this love. We instantly radiate it into all of our experiences and create our lives with incomparable beauty, harmony, peace and joy. The wonder of this awareness is that when we recognize our own spark of divinity we behold this same essence in everyone around us.
Over eons of time and for countless reasons, we have forgotten the importance of being present in the moment and to stay connected with this limitless love. We have placed a symbolic wall around our hearts and blocked the light that seeks to flow as a boundless river of love. As we steadily continued to build this inner defense, so too have we separated ourselves from one another in the outer world of form. When the light eventually became very dim, we let fear and doubt become our motivating intent and as a result, we now find ourselves in a world of seeming chaos, darkness, struggle and strain – the likes of which we have never known.
These outer conditions are merely calling to us to take down our self created barriers and to love once more without reservation or hesitation. We are beginning to realize we have a choice and can make a difference by allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and intimate both with ourselves and with each other. It is okay to accept that we are capable of loving unconditionally. We can also acknowledge that we are loveable and loved and that the walls we have built to protect us from potential hurt, shame, hate and all number of mental and emotional devices need no longer be a part of our world.
We take the first step by having unconditional compassion for our own journey. We may have built this fortification brick by brick with reasoning we thought justifiable at the time, yet now we are aware of our potential to embrace our love and no longer be afraid of it. By accepting ourselves without condition or judgment, we dissolve the walls that have kept this wondrous energy from flowing naturally. In turn, we share this unconditional compassion to those around us as we now understand how they have held back their love too. Compassion is the key that unlocks our collective potential to heal our world and restore the love that is at the heart of all creation.
When we know we have love in our heart, unconditional compassion becomes as natural as breathing.
Love, light and peace,
