2008 New Years resolutions and the spirit

2008 is going to be a good year for resolutions. The world now is now more spiritually orientated than it has been for many years. People around the globe are beginning to see a world that is more people than materials. Just here in the United States I have see a huge jump in spirit in the past 2 years. Talk of God, the Creator, and the spirit of man. This holiday season just may spawn a new era in human kindness and understanding that this world has not seen in some time.

I watch global trends quite often. I watch everything from the stock markets to international foreign exchanges. I watch government policy and humanity in general. I have to tell you that what I see is the beginning of a new style of humanity. People are beginning to see that the world is not what they once thought it was. Money is not as important as it was just a few years ago. That is one of the most important steps into the human spirit that we can take. Keep in mind that without changing our perception, there will never be a change in this world. The following Insight is extremely important. It’s an understanding of the true meaning of life. It’s the first step of many.

If you can imagine, there are signs out there that we get everyday. If we continue to be blind to them we will always feel lost. One of my reasons for writing this is to help people see that there is more.

We have to keep our eyes open in order to see the signs. Once you start looking, you will start to notice more and more things in the world that your apt. to like and go after. For me it is charity and information. For some reason I have always felt and been driven to help people come together through Love and understanding. Part of that mission is to help people become aware of the environment and the people that live in it. It’s not the green environment that you’re thinking of, but the one that affects us daily. The drive to work and the things that we listen to on the news is also an environment. Another one is your children and the things that they bring into your lives. It’s the way we treat each other. It’s the mindset of humanity and its effect on our daily lives. The environment that I speak of is perception. How do you perceive your life? Is there something that you can do to change the perception of others? When we begin to see the signs; we can truly find our life's mission. No one but you can find that mission, and certainly no one else can make you do it. It’s a choice that you must make.

What will your New Years Resolution be?

Awareness and the fourth insight info sharing energy through attention

The first three insights show us that there is more to this life than just being. We have a life mission and to ignore it is destructive. Now we have to be aware that everyone is made of energy and that we share that energy with each other. It is not to be taken, but rather, given. If all people were to give instead of take, this world would be...perfect. When one person tells another what to do or uses strong tones, they are effectively taking the energy from another. If one were to ask the other if the could do something for them and did it nice with genuine care and concern for the other, then they are giving that energy.

THE FOURTH INSIGHT . . . THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER
Too often humans cut themselves off from the greater source of this energy and so feel weak and insecure. To gain energy we tend to manipulate or force others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully dominate others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left weakened and often fight back. Competition for scarce, human energy is the cause of all conflict between people.

I am efforting this type of behavior each and every day. Working hard to ensure that I am not taking the energy of others but rather, giving it. Its a harsh world and we have to be the ones to set the example by action. Caring and loving everyone should be the goal. No race, color or gender should ever come into play. It doesn't always take money, but it does take your attention. The world is slowing beginning to awaken to this. Its the true spirituality that we all seek. Its what we want to live for, even if you won't admit it.

Keep in mind the discourse of men, and remember that love shared is always the right answer. Don't watch the bad news, make the good news.
