I have never read one of your books. These few paragraphs are the mostly beautiful, eloquent, and timely messages to humanity! My love for you, is overflowing! I pray, that the world reads these few paragraphs, and their souls are touched. You have connected with my innermost feelings of the way God works through us. These are the things that life is all about. People want to know, “what they are here for ?”. You, have awakened the, “Sleeping Giant”. Now one seed of love as been planted! It is up to us to plant them all over the world, and especially here in America. We are the world! It is time! I think every person feels it in their soul! You may try to ignore it, but at times, it overwhelms us. What can we do? The possibilities are endless! God and the Universe calls. Listen and you will hear. The birds, the animals, and the mountains are beckoning.

Thank you, for these words of true wisdom at such a critical time in this world. I will be looking for your book:)

Humanity has always been a shameful existence. Humans are the cruelest creatures on this planet. But I can't honestly say it's all our own fault. We come here open and trusting. We don't instantly think mommy and daddy are lying to me. We don't instantly think my teacher is brainwashing me. We trust, we believe and relatively few ever realize it's all a lie, repeated by those who were told the lie. Jesus on the cross said "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do." And that's true of everyone, no matter what we think of them, or ourselves for that matter. Self blame is no better than blaming others. We can only do what we know until we know differently. Pulling away from collective consciousness can be very lonely at times.

The problem for children is that they start out beautiful, innocent and holy. Unfortunately they are brought up by egos, taught by egos and live in ego communities. No wonder so many of them go 'off the rails' as they get older. Thank God there is a way to reclaim our innocence. Thank God for 'A Course in Miracles' and its 'Bridge back to the Real World.'

People are so quick to blame God for things. I have always known a loving God. He is with us always! Thank you again for your wise words. 💖🙏💖

Right on the spot. Humanity has become a shameful existence today. Being human is not to be proud about. Love is always there. But we have made ourselves distant to Love by our own collective choices. Do we deserve this planet? That's the question everyone should be asking.

Beautifully said. We have become a Godless, lawless world, intent on living in the flesh rather than the spirit. We need a spiritual awakening…a return to God…a return to Love. That’s what I’m praying for and cultivating in my own life.

Yes and while we are asking, "How long, oh God, how long?," A Course in Miracles is asking, "How long Son of God, how long?"

Well I pray to a higher power but I really like reading history and that has jaded me for a good outcome. We do not having the empathy on a whole to fix our problems. And I would hate to think what it would take for us to realize that. Nothing in the past has phased us for any length of time. So I am hoping you are right and have experiences I haven’t had, because the higher power will have to intervene for us to survive. As you know many of our ancestor species are already extinct. So I will pray with you. Will

We must all become the Messiah or Hero we're waiting for since it is our responsibility to put love first--all else is secondary or we are finished.

Politics, religion, and monetary values are all ‘made up’ vehicles by which humanity ‘travels’. None of these are actual, yet all of them drive our behaviors. It’s not whether we feed the children, it’s who’s going to pay for it? This dysfunction of our species, I am hoping, is part of our evolution that I hope will blossom in a positive direction…that being towards reality. All of us as individuals make up the whole of humanity and until we grasp the importance of each other, no matter who we are, we are a species hindered.

You are absolutely right, Marianne - WE, the people, have to pull us out of this deep hole we've dug for ourselves - the government isn't going to do it because the model we have been operating from has been throwing people in the deep hole, in order to keep them dependent and in survival mode. I have worked 40 years in state and federal government and have said my mission is to transform our government to actually work for the people they serve but it's falling on deaf ears because the model is - "we do it this way because this is the way we've always done it". I am currently working in a non-profit organization called, Community Supported Shelters, that have built Conestoga Huts in safe spot sites or communities, to support the people who have come out of government agencies and programs to get on their feet and move forward. I always thought the government failed at being successful because my idea of success is assisting people to move from survive to thrive. In my short time at CSS, I can see just how successful the government has been at keeping people dependent and in survival mode. It's job security for the government if people remain the same. I have never worked in a non-government organization and it's thrilling to be part of an organization that is building a new model. It's as if we are remodeling the plane as we fly, changing the structure of the leadership from top down to shared leadership and including the employees in the transition. I think this is one very big way we can begin to create a world that works for everyone - through local non-profits. Changing language is important as well. If a non-profit gets funding from a government entity, it's important for it to be labeled a grant instead of a contract. A grant can be used at the discretion of the non-profit and used for the betterment of the clients, and the money from a contract is often controlled by the government agency and is often dictated to meet their needs. I am working with the same people I worked with in all the different agencies I worked in within the government but I've never felt more alive than I do now because this organization is actually making a difference in people's lives.

Thanks for what you do and sharing. In my view I throw the blame back on the people as they put these people in office. It looks to me that we have to change for our government to change.

Yes, the change starts with us. We are the pebble being dropped in the pond that ripples out.
