Fiona,
Let me understand this...
Any of us that recognize that God is within each of us is wrong?
Any of us that share our love and light selflessly are propagating our ego
onto others?
That only one religion is wrong? And tangentially any that follow it are
doomed to be disconnected from the Earth Mother and her bounty?
And there is no middle ground in any of this?
hmmm.....seems to me that you have taken historical events and built your
own form of hatred, bigotry and intolerance.
May the light and energy that flows to you from all entities be unfiltered
and pure as it resonates throughout the prism of your awareness.
We are all One
There is enough for All
We are perfect and have everything We need.
The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today no anger
Just for today no worry
Be grateful for all of your blessings
Work hard on your path
Be kind to All
Namaste, to everyone. This list brings all to share in the bliss of our
collective fire and consciousness. I wish for you at this time as I wish
for you at all times...Peace; Serenity; Bliss and Awareness
