Dear ones, it is time to see clearly. It is time to understand the true global lessons that face you now. You are approaching a laya center of merging probabilities, of potential futures that vary by what perspectives people hold rather than by who has more ammunition. We await the time, soon to come, when people begin to make their voices known. When enough of you raise your spiritual integrity from local loyalty to global unity, peace will emerge as your biggest potential to create.

Until you clearly see who is the evil in your midst, you will only be killing one "bad guy" after another, without knowing who will step into that space and continue the bad things being done to people in the name of God. Killing in the name of God is wrong. This we cannot repeat enough times, for it is the overriding lesson on your planet right now. It is the mindset of those "evil doers" that you are fighting in every country, regardless of wealth, race or creed. In all societies rich and poor, your biggest enemy is the misguided belief structures that perpetuate the war mentality, that keep people victimized and downtrodden. What needs to be eradicated is the old fear-based rule of right equals might. As we have stated before (Sedona Journal, December 2002) when all parents love their own children more than they hate their neighbors, you will achieve true global peace.

Your lessons in wielding personal power begin in childhood. How do children disarm a bully? There are two ways. You can find one or two bigger bullies to stand behind, momentarily safe as those bigger bullies fight for you. What do you create? A playground with new, bigger bullies. And a third, lesser bully, slinking away humiliated, with revenge in his heart against the entire playground of children. Are the children now safe from harm? It all depends on the new bullies they chose, and what those "warriors" hold dear in their hearts. If size and power is all they care about, you now have a worse problem. If those bigger children stepped forward in defense of all the others, hold no malice in their hearts and will not harm except to protect themselves and others, that will become the new paradigm for behavior in the playground. Why? Because the ones with true spiritually-blessed power wield that power to protect and serve the good of all.

Are we saying that you should pick your bullies carefully? No. A child has not the wherewithal to do that. They huddle, they watch, they hope all turns out well so that they can play again without getting hurt. That works for children, dear ones, but not for adults. Adults have the capacity to realize that the bully's mindset must be changed so that the person can then wield their personal power for good, in a "harmless" way.

Here is the second way to disarm a bully: What if all the children were to gather in a circle, legs planted firm, shoulder to shoulder, arms crossed over their chests, and stare down that bully? What if they refused to be afraid of him? What can he do then? Not much. When you stand united in the light, firm in your higher beliefs, you shed that light over everything that is dark to be revealed. What does that bully now see? A solid wall of defiant children, denying him any power over them. He cannot continue his bully behavior if nobody will allow it in their midst. A "terrorist" can only be effective if he continually causes a terrified reaction to his actions. Yes, fear perpetuates the terrorist cycle, and allows it to grow. We point out that there is an "energetic" component to this global lesson, as we stated in the beginning of this piece. Once you change your perspective and start treating the terrorists as common criminals, they can be dealt with by your police and intelligence forces and need not ruin your quality of life.

We say, stand together in spiritual integrity and stand witness. There must be total global unity of higher goal and higher purpose in order to disarm and heal the misguided ones amongst you. Dear ones, you are still destroying so much on this planet by your daily activities, and do not see the ripples affecting the earth. One country wastes resources, and another country starves. You say it is circumstance, oh well, some have and some have not. We say the planet is reaching a higher energetic balance, and the growing soul of Collective Humanity is crying out for a higher level of spiritual integrity. Yet everywhere you turn you see imbalance, fear, distorted views and values, the haves and have-nots. This "us or them" mentality is the imbalance that must now be purged, at all levels, from the school playground to the global battlefield at hand.

The earth does not need to be a battlefield, dear ones. It is your home. Will you continue to soil it with your own blood, or will you clean up your playground so that all can play happily together? Remember, you are in a specially-designed free will zone which necessitates that each of you decide for yourself how to believe in God, and how to live the expression of your belief. Children should have free will, too. They should be free to grow and learn and then choose how they wish to believe and behave. Your bullies are created by bully parents who teach separation, racism, bigotry and misuse of personal power. How else, where else would these children learn that it is acceptable to harm others? They learn it at home.

Those of you who see clearly yet feel powerless to change anything tend to pass the responsibility to the next generation. You claim that your children will fix the damage from prior generations. We ask you, if you expect your children to achieve peace where you could not, who will teach them a positive, peaceful mind-set? Do they not need the adult example to learn how to socialize and function together for the good of all? Can you, who have only known war, teach your children a better way to behave so they can save humanity on this planet? They will succeed, if you teach them how to love instead of hate.

Dear ones, do you see the round-robin of cause and effect here? Seeing and understanding is all well and good, it is the necessary first step to any solution. What is needed next? The doing of it! The creating, the materializing, the allowing, the faith that it can be accomplished - the wielding of the Universal Laws that we in Spirit have been teaching you. How to wield the God-power within you? How to manifest peace on Earth? How to become the instrument, in physicality, that your soul came down here to experience?

You must gain clarity at all levels of mind and body (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) in order to become the tool of Spirit that can change this world into a better place. Again, back to the circle, children, the Circle of Grace. If each person would clear their minds and bodies of pain, stress, and faulty belief systems, they would carry no more negative emotions. There would be no more need for fighting or harming another to get what you need, for you would all gladly share. Come together on that playground instead of huddling in groups of varying fear and aggression. Share that playground, even if you argue over who plays what game with whom. Children do that briefly, then spend most of their allotted play time in playing the games they chose.

Be like a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The children shall lead you, yes, but you also need to teach them to be better people so they can lead happier, more productive lives. Does not each succeeding generation move humanity forward by bringing in new ideas, higher goals, better ways of being and living? That has been the earth's karmic cycle, each time around the wheel improves life for all on the wheel. Now, we say that your trudging around that wheel is over, and you can jump off. But you need to create your own, better space in which to land!

For those of you reading this text, we congratulate you for being open-minded enough to read channeled work. Can you also grasp the fact that most of your "ancient" religious texts have been corrupted by human editing? The crux of your global lesson hangs on the human interpretation of religious teachings. Those who stand firm in whatever faith you have chosen, please examine it carefully. If your religion preaches love in all forms, it is right. If your religion places conditions or judgments on that love, it is wrong. Nowhere in the Koran is killing sanctified. Nowhere in Jesus's teachings is "an eye for an eye" sanctified. Nowhere in God's sight is a child born sinful. If the text is pure, but the preachers of it preach death instead of life, then those preachers are wrong in their mind-sets, and are wrong to impose that mind-set in your free-will zone.

In our past work, we boiled down all of your accepted "commandments" into one single wish that God in Spirit holds for you all. Every last blessed religious rule that you hold dear fits into this one holy law: Give and receive only Love. Yes, take a moment to think of all the beliefs that you have known or heard of, and you will see that they all fit into this one over-riding commandment. First and foremost, it rules out killing. Once you rule out killing, you will see avenues to peace. No peace can come to the Middle East or anywhere else in the world as long as killing is an option. Each faction has a right to exist, each must agree to accept conditions of peace, each will give a little to get a little, as soon as killing each other is no longer allowed! You are close at hand to creating global peace, or global chaos. Your governments are using religious issues to misdirect the populations, to cause fear and chaos so as to divert attention away from their true battle for power.

Let us define the word "power." Power is the energetic flow of wealth, power is resources, power is information. Power can be wielded to instill fear, or to erase suffering. The Law of Balance states that for every action there is a reaction. You may not see it happen, but it does, somewhere in the world. The Wiccan beliefs state, "What you put out returns three-fold." Yes, yes, yes! We say, all of life is based on energetic interactions. All energy is vibration. All vibration draws like vibration to itself. Are you following this train of thought? Instead of focusing on cultural and religions differences, it is time to see each other all as the family of man. All countries, no matter how rich, powerful, or technologically advanced, still have poverty, hunger and disease afflicting a percentage of their population. In order to diffuse the current lessons and bring in positive solutions, you must process these experiences and glean the wisdom within. That wisdom will strengthen your spiritual intent, and allow you to hold a higher level of spiritual integrity for the whole planet. Dear ones, all of life is sacred. All humans are equal in their divine origin. Every person has the right to a decent quality of life. When you defer your differences and focus on creating better resources, better jobs, better education, giving to all the prospect of a better future, you will be creating peace. Peace will become contagious, spreading beyond all borders to unite you in the collective Brotherhood of Man.

In a previous article (December 05 Predictions 2006) we called the year 2006 "The Year of New Intent." We explained how weather and politics were the two indicators of global progress in the physical processing of your lessons. What seems like chaos is the weakening of old, fear-based concepts in the face of a higher spiritual intent forming in the masses. It is time to take responsibility for what you have created up until now. Instead of looking to blame one another, forgive each other and move forward! Once the voice of the people begins to guide their governments, co-creating for the good of all will become the rule of law. Dear ones, we ask you to stop fighting amongst yourselves, and start sharing and playing together. Can peace be that simple to achieve? Yes, if enough of you choose to make it so. All is One.
