Today we ask that you believe in your own power.

Power is a very misunderstood concept in your reality.

When humans think of power, it is in a very monkey-like way.  Power relates to social hierarchy.  It is the “top dog” who has power.  The “alpha.”  The “king.”

So the rich are more powerful than the poor.  Men are more powerful than women.  Certain countries are more powerful than other countries.  Certain races are more powerful than other races.  

Everything is about your “rank” in the hierarchy.  Everyone wants to “Be Number One.”  Win the gold, win the prize.  Go to the high-ranking university, get the high-ranking position at the high-ranking company.  Maybe even be rich and famous.  That is what “power” is.

Power means you can “get away with things.”  If you are rich and powerful, you can push people around, and get your way.  People have to say “yes” to you, and do what you want — like slaves.

You don’t have to be rich and famous to be on a power trip.  In every little office all over the world, there is some executive or middle manager on a power trip, throwing his weight around with the subordinates.  

Many families are held in the sway of petty tyrants.  Many parents abuse their power over their children.  Siblings abuse siblings.  Children can abuse and control their parents.  

This world is full of countless little petty kings and queens, reigning over their little kingdoms.  The little bureaucrat is no different from the big CEO.  Everyone plays his little power games, asserting his rank in the hierarchy through aggression and control, and making sure you know your place if you happen to be on a lower rung of the totem pole.  

It is no different from monkeys.  Monkeys have their little tribes and little kings and queens and power struggles.  Monkeys have a hierarchy.  

So what most humans believe to be “power” is no more sophisticated than a monkey’s understanding of power.  It is defined by who is biggest, who is strongest, who can mate with the most desirable females, and who can ensure his offspring will rule when he is gone.  

But you do not have to believe what monkeys believe.

Nothing against monkeys.  But some of you are more intelligent.

Power is universal.  It thrums in every molecule, every particle, every atom of your being.  Within a grain of sand lies vast power.  This is the meaning of Einstein’s famous equation, e=mc squared.  It means a grain of sand contains enough power to cause a massive explosion, if that power were suddenly released.

So: everyone and everything is powerful.  It is your nature, your essence.  You are a powerful being.

But you are all hypnotized by those monkey notions about rank and hierarchy.  You believe that an Emperor is still an Emperor, even if he is not wearing any clothes.  You believe celebrities and CEOs are special, somehow.  More special than you, anyway.

By believing in all these “powerful people,” you are giving your power away.  Whenever you believe someone has power over you, that you are at someone’s mercy, it is like you are sitting there draining your battery.  You are handing over your innate power to someone else.  

What you do not perceive is that all these little petty tyrants, all these little bullies who like to be the big monkey and throw their weight around — really, these people are full of hot air and nothingness.  They are all naked emperors, and are usually the most insecure, frightened people on the planet.

If you have any peace and joy in your existence, you would not wish to trade places with some petty, bossy little tyrant for all the tea in China.  

Generally speaking, in modern life no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to do anything.  When you hand your power over to someone else, it is your choice to do so.

When you are in alignment with the universe, you are in alignment with the power that fuels the cosmos.  If you serve that power — the power of love and creation, the power of your Higher Self — you will be supported.

But when you start believing in little monkey tyrants and naked emperors, you disconnect from that vast and infinite flow of power.

Stop believing, right now, in rank and hierarchy.  

Stop believing that celebrities and rich people are special.

Stop living in fear of your controlling boss, or manipulative family member.  Stop handing over your power to these people.

Reclaim the power that is your birthright.

Use it to serve the loving, expansive flow of the universe.  This is not about making you into a little emperor.  If you forget that, you are lost.

Power is creative, it is beautiful, it is nurturing, it is flowing.  It is never oppressive, or squelching.

People in positions of power misuse that power at their own peril.  To use power to control and abuse others is to breed terrible sickness in your body and soul.

Connect with the power within you.  It doesn’t matter who you are.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a janitor, or a clerk.  Every “Clark Kent” is really a “Superman” — so long as he uses his power to lovingly, humbly serve the divine flow of the universe.

Today we ask that you not take drippy people personally.

You may know drippy people.  They are gray, colorless, joyless.  Life is a miserable chore.  Life is all about taxes, and insurance.  Life is all about being responsible and virtuous and very, very boring.  

Drippy people like to act very superior.  They may be boring, but they are better than you.  They may not be well-liked, but they are better than you.

They are dreary people, who see the world as a dreary place, and spread their dreary energy about.

They don’t like silliness, and laughter.  They make for awful parents and teachers and clergymen, though often they’re drawn to such authority positions.  They’re bureaucrats, middle managers, bean counters.  They’re kill-joys.  They’re humorless, and they take themselves very seriously.

Oh, the drippy people.

The drippy people don’t like anything new.  If it’s colorful and vibrant and juicy, the drippy people won’t like it.

Drippy people don’t much care for sex, and intimacy.  They’re bad at it, anyway.

Drippy people are busybodies.  They’re always sticking their noses into other people’s business, and making their judgments, and feeling superior.  

Being around a drippy person makes you feel tight, clenched, and depressed — just like they are.

What to do with drippy people?

Don’t take them seriously.  Don’t believe their gloomy stories.  Don’t believe all their talk about taxes and insurance and the government and the wretched state of the world.

Don’t believe them, but also don’t argue with them.  Drippy people will argue and argue and argue, because they have to be right about everything, all the time.  You’ll get exhausted arguing with them, and you won’t get anywhere or make a point.  So just let them think they’re right — even if they’re terribly ignorant — and go about your business.

If you’ve been around drippy people, make sure to give yourself an energy bath.  Dance, play, sing.  Watch something silly, that makes you laugh.  Be around animals, or small children.  Shake off the drippiness.  Otherwise it can cling to you like a gray film, and make you sick and depressed.  

Just because those people are drippy doesn’t mean you should be, too.  Even if drippy people would like to make everyone just as drippy as they are.

Life is meant to be enjoyed.  There is no “God” that wants anyone to be a pious, dreary, sanctimonious drip.  You are here to laugh, to play, to have fun.  Never forget that, no matter what the drippy people say.  

Today we ask that you examine your beliefs about struggling.

99% of humans agree on one thing:

Life is a Struggle.

Liberals and conservatives agree: people must struggle, to survive.

Greedy capitalists must struggle to expand their wealth.

Social activists must struggle to protect the oppressed.

Struggling shows that you are “worth” something.

Students must struggle to achieve.

Athletes must struggle to win.

Workers must struggle to be productive.

Parents must struggle to raise children.

Religious people must struggle to make themselves pleasing in the eyes of their God.

Jews, Christians, and Muslims all struggle, because their sacred texts say it is virtuous to do so.

Hindus and Buddhists struggle, and believe it is because of karma.

Women struggle, and men struggle.

Young people struggle, and old people struggle.

Characters in books and movies and on TV struggle.

Everyone struggles!

You are told: you must struggle to earn love.

You must struggle to earn money.

You must struggle to lose weight, or keep weight off.

You must struggle to win a mate, Mr. or Mrs. Right.

On and on it goes.  Everyone, everywhere is struggling.  It doesn’t matter if you’re rich, or poor.  Everyone has his “struggle” in life.

But what if people only struggle because they believe they are supposed to?

It’s okay if this question upsets or angers you.  

People are very attached to their struggles.  It gives them their sense of self-worth, and identity.

If you listen to most people talk about how the day went, what you will hear is a long list of struggles.  “You won’t believe what happened!  My boss did this, my coworker did that, the car repair shop did this.”

People tell you these things because it affirms their sense of self-worth.  The more they struggle in life, the more virtuous they feel about themselves.  “Well, I really struggled terribly today.  See, I’m worth something.”

How often do you meet someone who simply says: “Oh, I had a wonderful day today.  I’m really enjoying my life.”  Such a person would generally arouse the hostility, jealousy, suspicion, and contempt of other people.  They would dismiss such a person as being either lucky, or lazy.  They would find ways to make themselves feel superior to such a person.  

What if people don’t have to struggle?

Before you get angry, an explanation is in order:

There is a difference between “struggle” and “healthy challenge.”

Humans do need to expose themselves to healthy challenges.  Healthy challenges take people out of their comfort zones, and encourage growth and learning.  

Letting go of struggle does not mean you sit on the couch watching TV all day and check out of life.

The difference between “healthy challenge” and “struggle” is very simple:

“Healthy challenges” make you feel good.

“Struggles” makes you feel terrible.

“Healthy challenges” are energizing.

“Struggles” are exhausting.

“Healthy challenges” make you excited to wake up and see what the next day will bring.

“Struggles” make you anxious, depressed, and full of dread about tomorrow.  

It is true, that countless people in this world are born into poverty and very harsh living conditions.

However, it is also true that some impoverished people actually experience far less struggle than many average middle class workers.

That is because struggle is, to a very large degree, a state of mind, indoctrinated into humans via very old belief systems.

Religions have typically depicted the earthly realm as a vale of sorrows.   The Earth is a bad place.  Humans have been cast out of the Garden of Eden, and must struggle for their daily bread.  This is the realm of Maya, where humans suffer endlessly through many lifetimes.  Mortal existence is viewed as a kind of punishment.  It is supposed to be painful.  People are supposed to struggle and suffer and be miserable.  In fact, that’s the only ticket out of this Purgatory.

None of this is true.  And even if you don’t subscribe to these beliefs, they run so deep in the human collective unconscious that they surely have been passed down to you.

Please examine your beliefs about struggle.

Do you believe that everyone must “struggle to earn his keep?”

Do you believe that love must be earned?

Do you believe that self-worth must be earned?

Do you believe that God’s love or a heavenly afterlife must be earned?

None of this is true.  It is simply not true.  The love of what you would call “God” is unconditional, infinite, and fully available to you at every moment.  You are completely loved.  You can’t earn what is already fully yours.  

The more you believe in the virtue of struggle, the more struggle you will experience.

While it is important to experience healthy challenge in life, you should not be struggling.

Healthy challenge may be temporarily uncomfortable, but the overall feeling around it is good.  You enjoy it.  You do it because you choose to do it, because you want to.  

Struggle is painful.  It hurts.  It’s a grind.   It’s joyless, dutiful, obligatory.

Look at your life.  Ho much of what you experience is a “healthy challenge,” and how much is a “struggle”?

Meditate on this.  And examine you beliefs about the virtue of struggle.

Just because almost everyone believes in “struggling to earn,” does not make it true or right.  Humans have believed many crazy, untrue things throughout their history.

Question your destructive beliefs.  

Today we ask that you learn to be good parents to yourselves.

Many of you did not have good parents, as children.  This is not a judgment of your parents.  In all likelihood, they had problematic childhoods of their own, and simply didn’t know better.  

A good parent is someone who creates a safe, stable, loving environment in which a child feels supported as he grows, learns, and explores his world.  The child always feels loved, even as the parent creates healthy structures, and boundaries.

It is actually extremely difficult to be a good parent, particularly in the world in which most of you dwell.  There are many negative parental models, but few positive ones.

This is because most humans do not love themselves.  It is impossible for any parent to express unconditional love for a child, if the parent is self-hating.

That is why you must work to become good parents to yourselves.  As an added benefit, being a good parent to yourself will automatically make you a better parent not only to children, but to anyone you are in a relationship with.  This is because almost all so-called adults are really like children, and are in desperate need of good parenting.  Being a good parent will help you flourish in any business, any endeavor.  

So what are the qualities of a good parent?

Good parents are patient.  They have cultivated the ability to remain calm and grounded even in very challenging conditions.  They know how to listen.  They are very attentive, and conscious.

Fears and emotions are not suppressed.  At the same time, the good parent does not give into a child’s fears.  A good parent knows that the monster under the bed is never real.  A good parent never tells a child that he is stupid or wrong for being scared of the monster under the bed.  A good parent simply shines a light under the bed, and shows the child there is no monster.  He will shine such a fear-dissolving light as often as the child requires this.  

A good parent creates healthy structure.  A child may have many addictive cravings.  He may want to only eat sweets, or watch TV all day, or not take a nap, or go to bed late.  The good parent does not let the child be carried off by his impulses and addictions.  

A good parent never attacks a child, or calls a child stupid, or ugly, or fat, or lazy, or a failure.  He never punishes a child with harshness or violence.  

Healthy boundaries never feel punitive or cruel, though it natural for children to throw tantrums in the face of boundaries.  The healthy response to a tantrum is firm, but loving — never cruel, cold, or aggressive.

Are you a good parent to yourself?

Do you ever call yourself stupid, or ugly, or fat, or lazy, or a failure?  

Do you create healthy structures for yourself?  Do you eat nourishing food, and avoid too many sweets, and go to bed at the proper bedtime?

Do you give into your night terrors and crazed fantasies?  Do you believe that the monsters under the bed are real and out to get you?  Do you know how to shine a light and dissolve your own irrational fears?

Do you punish yourself?  Do you attack yourself?

Are you patient with yourself?  Can you remain calm, grounded, and non-reactive, even if your mind and emotions are throwing a big tantrum? 

Do you love yourself, no matter what?

If people only learned how to be good parents, this world would be a far saner, healthier place.  

You don’t need a child to be a good parent.  You must start with yourself.  Then you can help the people around you.

Everyone in this world needs a good parent.  It starts with being a good parent to yourself.  

Today we ask that you give yourself a healthy structure in life.

Life forms thrive when there is a healthy structure.  Children feel safe within a healthy structure.  Healthy structure is like the foundation and frame of a building.  There can be no sturdy building without a solid foundation and frame.

Healthy structure does not, however, mean overscheduling.  This is a serious problem for many modern people — that their hours and days are overscheduled, that there is no unstructured time, that they are always running around, exhausted.  Overscheduling is especially oppressive for children.

Healthy structure includes unstructured “free time.”  Children need time to play.  Adults need time to relax, unwind, and explore areas of interest outside of “work.”  

A healthy structure is one that is neither too loose, nor too rigid.  A loose structure easily collapses.  A rigid structure is suffocating, heavy, and airless.

Healthy structure for most humans involves rising and going to bed at roughly the same time each day, making sure there are set times for the preparation and eating of nourishing food, making sure there are set times for exercising the physical body, and creating set times for meditative or spiritual practice.  There are regular times to work and create.  There is also time to relax, play, and explore.  

Such a lifestyle may sound like a vacation to most adults, but it is very possible to live in this way and be exceptionally productive.  Much “work” in your society is really quite wasteful — exhausted people blinking at computer screens, and noodling around on the internet.  Just because someone is “at work” doesn’t mean work is happening. 

Most people exist within unhealthy, overly rigid structures.  And because they are forced into rigid structures, as soon as they are given any free space, there is a tendency to collapse.  They may turn into couch potatoes, or drink to excess.  

A healthy structure gives people plenty of room to breathe.  Maintenance of the physical body is integral.  The emotional and spiritual bodies must also be attended to.  There is a natural rhythm to such a life, like the rhythm of the seasons.  

Everyone thrives in a healthy structure.  Children grow and learn beautifully in a healthy structure.  People are extremely creative in a healthy structure, and there is a dramatic decrease in physical and mental illness.

Even if you live in a sick society — and unfortunately, most of you do — it is possible for individuals to work to create healthy structure within their lives.  The rewards for doing so are immeasurable.  

Today we ask that you stop expecting people to be “on your level.”

In terms of spiritual evolution, people are not at the same level.  This is only natural.  Spiritual practice and awakening is like any other skill.  It requires constant effort and learning, over many years.  It is the practice of a lifetime.

It is like martial arts, or ballroom dancing.  You cannot expect a novice to have the same ability as a seasoned practitioner.  Some people may have innate ability, but lack perseverance.  Others may struggle with the simplest moves, but have great determination.  Of course, you may practice for years and years, and hit a roadblock in which it feels like all your ability and awareness flies out the window.  This is very common.  

The wisest man always acknowledges he is a beginner, even if he has practiced a skill for his whole lifetime.

Most people are very asleep when it comes to spiritual practice.  They may have heard of meditation, but have never tried it, or have tried it once or twice.  They do not know that it is even possible to cultivate inner peace and presence of mind.  They do not understand that it’s possible to shift one’s experience of life, by shifting one’s perception.  They do not know that perception is something that can be shifted.

Even if they have some spiritual practice, they may not have been tested.  They may go through a major personal crisis, or an intense ego temptation.  Suddenly, spiritual practice flies out the window.  It happens to everyone.  

The wise man does not expect anything from other people.  He knows that most adults are really like children, and are easily distracted from the spiritual path.  A shiny toy, a piece of candy — it’s so easy to blind and distract people.  

The wise man works always on himself.  He asks how he may become more peaceful and present in any situation.  That way, he is never at the mercy of others.  It is okay for childish people to act childishly.  

It is true that if you have no expectations, you will never be disappointed.  This makes life much more enjoyable.

If you cultivate your own calm, this can of course have an effect on the people around you.  They may become attuned to your calm frequency, as if you are a tuning fork.

But if you become tense and agitated because “people who should know better” are behaving badly and not listening to you, then you are not much of a tuning fork.

Don’t expect other people to be “on your level.”  That way, when you inevitably stumble and falter on your own path, you’ll be more forgiving with yourself.  Everyone messes up, and that’s okay.  

Today we ask that you stop arguing.

Stop arguing.

Many of you are arguing all the time.  You argue with other people.  You argue with people on the internet.  You argue with politicians, or people whose views oppose yours.  You don’t need to know someone in order to argue with him.  

Mainly, you argue with yourself.  With the Voice in your head.

You argue with reality.  You are always saying “This should not exist.”  Something is unjust, something is unfair, something is wrong.

Always you are on a witness stand in the courtroom of your mind, making your case to an imaginary judge.  Some of you think of this imaginary judge as “God,” though there is nothing in the least bit divine about this mental construct.

You defend yourselves.  You attack other people.  Sometimes you are the defense; sometimes you are the prosecution.  It depends on the hour of the day.

The lawyers in your mental courtroom are tireless.  They never sleep.  Always, they are busy prosecuting and defending.  You may even have a hard time sleeping because of these lawyers in your mental courtroom.    

There is an Accuser in your mind.  He makes the case for how worthless you are.  Then the Defense makes its argument.  “Your Honor, the witness is not worthless!  Look at her achievements!  (He brings out the evidence of your worth — maybe you earned some money or got a good grade on a test.)  At the very least, she is superior to other, even more worthless people!” 

On and on it goes.  All these arguments.  So much hot air in the brain, making you crazy.

Most humans are really like insane people.  If you could hear what goes on inside the average human mind at any moment, you would see most people are really very crazy, with all their internal chatter and arguments.

Stop arguing.

Stop arguing.

Give your internal lawyers and judge a vacation.  

Stop attacking.  Stop defending.

Just stop arguing with reality, and other people, and yourself.

Instead of arguing, say: “You could be right.”

It isn’t saying they are right.  Only that they could be right.

You can say this even to the critical voice in your own mind.

What you will discover is the moment you stop arguing and say “You could be right,” the whole courtroom drama stops.  The lawyers have nothing left to do, so they rest their case, and disappear.

If you are arguing with another person and tell them they could be right, they will instantly relax.  At that moment, they may even be able to start listening to you.

When you stop arguing with reality, you may finally be able to listen to the divine wisdom that speaks to you through the flow of reality.

It doesn’t mean “Roll over, and be a doormat.”

The truly strong, steadfast person has no need to waste her energy arguing.  Mountains don’t need to argue.  You won’t see a mountain showing up in court.

Stop arguing, and you will be like a mountain.  

Today we ask that you perceive the mythic dimension of your existence.

You all watch movies and TV shows.  You read books.  You are told stories from the earliest age.  You instinctively understand them.  Stories are the delivery mechanisms for your entire understanding and perception of reality.

What most of you don’t fully grasp is that you, too, are living a story.  You are just like the characters in a movie, or novel.  That really is what you are, in this life.

You are an immortal being, playing a character.  You believe this character is who you are.  But the character is a role you are playing.  You are all actors, who have forgotten you are acting.

The themes of stories are true.  Characters in stories are always asked to follow their hearts, to take great leaps of faith.  They are asked to stand on the side of human goodness and friendship.  Joining the “Dark Side” may lead to short-term gain, but in the long-term always leads to ruin.

What makes you think “real life” is any different?

And yet intelligent people who understand that cruelty, greed, and destructive behavior never leads anywhere good for characters in movies, may not hesitate in real life to be cruel, greedy, or destructive.  

They may believe that movies and stories are nice fairy tales and make-believe, but the “real world” is a dog-eat-dog place where only the aggressive prosper.  

This is very delusional.

Your world does not differ in any way from fiction.  From a higher-dimensional perspective, you dwell in a fictional reality.  

The themes of movies and novels absolutely apply to you.

In real life, it is far better to emulate Harry Potter than Voldemort.

If you tell yourself, “Oh, that’s just a story, in real life the good guys never get ahead,” — this means you are listening to Voldemort.  

You may think your life is ordinary and dull — and yet every one of you is engaged in a primal drama.  

Will you follow the Voices of Light and Love, or will you follow the Voices of Fear and Despair?

You are no different from the heroes in movies.  Choose wisely.  You know where both of these paths lead, in the end.  

Today we ask that you love, but do not necessarily believe, your parents.

Some people are graced with parents who are very spiritually awake.

The majority of you are not so fortunate.

And that is okay.  It is only natural that most of you would be more awake and aware than your parents.  With each generation, there is more openness.  Most of you would not accept the racial intolerance and prejudice that was commonplace in your grandparents’ generation.  Evolution has occurred.

It is easy to see that you are more awake than many of your grandparents.  But it is harder when dealing with your own mother and father, or step-parents.  Even though you may be more spiritually awake than your parents, there is a strong, hard-wired tendency for children to deeply crave the approval of their parents.  This holds no matter how misguided or crazy your parents may be.  This holds no matter how old you are.  Many older people still crave the approval of parents who have died and left this physical plane.  

Some of you may be very conscious of your parents’ weaknesses.  You may even vow that you wish to be nothing like them.  And yet unconsciously, you still desperately crave their approval.  This craving can be the undoing of many a spiritually awake person.  For the unconscious is in conflict with the conscious mind.  Consciously, you may understand that your parents are misguided about many things.  Yet unconsciously you crave their approval, and fear their disapproval.  Through this “back door,” all manner of false beliefs and destructive behaviors may seep in.  

Some of you may know people who have exceptionally crazy parents.  They may know their parents are crazy, and have gone through therapy.  And yet deep down they are still terribly attached to their parents.  They care what their parents think, and wish to please them.  Many bright lives have been stunted in this way.

“Honor Your Mother and Father” is a misunderstood saying.  Many parents take this to mean: “My children should do what I tell them, and share my beliefs and values.”

This is not true.

“Honor Your Mother and Father” means living in the radiant light of your soul.  It means following the guidance of your higher, spiritual self — not the tribal and cultural beliefs indoctrinated into your parents, which they in turn have tried to indoctrinate into you.

Here is an easy guide:

Do you consider your parents to be peaceful, fulfilled individuals?  Are their lives full of love, and joy?  

If so, then you may listen to their guidance. 

However, if your parents are unhappy, troubled, miserable people with a lot of drama in their lives, you should not listen to their guidance.

This doesn’t mean, don’t love them.  Please cultivate deep compassion for an unhappy, misguided parent.  But do not listen to them.  Do not believe their stories and their judgments.  

Notice the ways in which you crave parental approval.  To really come into your own light, you cannot live to make your parents happy.  This will keep you forever a child.

For a tree to grow, it needs space.  If there are too many other trees crowding around, it cannot get enough sunlight.  Its growth will be stunted.  This is what happens to many children who cannot get enough distance from their parents.  This is true sometimes even with fairly well-adjusted parents.

It is part of a healthy growth process to become your own person, in your own space, free of your parents.  Always love them, but be your own being.  Do not crave their approval.  This will only stunt your growth.

Parents, if you truly love your children, do not cling to them.  Let them go.  Clinging to them will only stunt their growth.  Let them follow the path of their souls wherever it leads — even if you fear for their safety.  You cannot protect them from life.  Do not crowd them, or overshadow them.  This will block their light, like a big tree hovering over and smothering a little tree.

Children, honor your parents by following your soul.

Parents, honor your children by giving them the space to follow their souls.  If you are truly following your own soul, instead of living vicariously through your children in some way, this will not be so difficult.

Too many bright and beautiful lives are stunted by unhealthy relationships between parents and children.  Trees need plenty of space to fully grow in the light.  So do people.  

Today we ask you not to hate or attack that which appears to be dark.

Your world is filled with dark energy.  There are forces of oppression, enslavement, and greed.  They are destructive forces.  They exist on a global scale, and they exist within every individual.

It is very easy to fall into patterns of hatred, anger and aggression when one is exposed to dark energy.  For good-hearted people, it seems only right to feel a sense of outraged injustice at all the darkness in the world.

But anger is completely counterproductive.  Hatred and anger only nourishes dark energy.  

That is why it is not useful to feel anger and hatred for dark individuals or groups or corporations.

You all contain the seeds of darkness.  Your self-destructive tendencies, your fears, your anxiety, your depression, your addictions — this is darkness within.

When you get angry at dark energy that appears to be outside of you — at “bad” people, or corporations, or political parties — you are actually giving energy to your internal darkness.  You are watering your own dark seeds.

Dark things are like sticky tar.  The more you engage with hostility toward dark energy, the more you get stuck and trapped.

That is why you must stay very conscious of your hostile, angry feelings.  You do much more good in this world by nurturing the energy of light and love, rather than attacking the dark.

Do not attack the dark.

When confronted by dark energy, cultivate a neutral stance.  You do not have to love aggressive, destructive people.  Just find a way to stay neutral.  Do not engage in argument with a hostile person.  Stay neutral, give aggressive people space.  Whatever you do, do not attack.  You will only feed the dark energy, and water the seeds of darkness within.

Use your energy wisely.  Cultivate the light.  Cultivate inner and outer light.  Do not attack people.  Even in your own mind, do not attack people.  This is a very hard thing to do.  But if you make this effort, you will stop watering the seeds of darkness within.  That means your own self-destructive tendencies will decrease, along with anxiety, depression, addiction, and other forms of sickness.

Very few humans can really do this.  But those who do find great peace, and create so much light in the world.
