Would you

 I wonder how much faith you would put into the sincerity of a person who says they are self made and came from nothing, then it came to light that their career began at their father's real estate company? Which they were given and were able to expand because of their father's financial and political backing that enabled them to do their first deals, demolishing and renovating landmark buildings. Would you trust a person who in order to avoid the financial ruin of their businesses used methods which were legally dubious to avoid paying taxes, and whose own lawyers described their activities as improper. When we consider the people who have come from poverty or lived near the edge of poverty throughout parts of their younger lives and have been able to build a world around themselves that supports a comfortable living experience for their families, then we can compare and see what self made really looks like. For one to be raised in a household that has millions of dollars available to them and call it hardship while receiving an occasional million dollar hand up is not the same as being in a place where you may be eating the weeks leftovers because the fridge is empty of anything else and you are waiting for the paycheck to clear so you can replenish your food. Would you really trust someone who compares a life of what has been full of wealth with those that have had to be hungry or cold many times in their lives? I myself find it difficult to believe that there is a true understanding of what being self made is when a person comes from a place of wealth and has never had to worry about eating scraps from a nearly empty fridge. May we all know who to trust when we are looking to leaders and guides in our lives. I hope we recognize when words are being used to manipulate our faith in each other and divide us from those who truly understand who we are and what we have been through. Everyone has been through their own form of hardship, but that does not always mean that each person has come out with the same level of perseverance and ability to empathize with how much hunger and lack of life's comforts can hurt. What have you been through, and are you putting your trust in those people who can really understand where you are from? I hope we put our trust in people who can recognize us and are willing to support us through our challenges and trials.
Love,
PEACE

The other

 When a group of people is separated out because they look a certain way or speak differently, and they are treated as if they had no rights I would hope to be connected with those who protect them. Instead I find myself living in the country that is committing the act of separation and cruelty towards an entire group based on slight differences. My country has made the value of life be based on how we look and where our family is from, instead of being based on the life we have lived and what we have done in the world. We have been a nation of immigrants since the day Europeans landed on these shores and began marking the lands lived on by the natives as their own. We have gone through times when we destroyed societies because they lived on this land before us, or we kept the other chained to do all the work because they looked different. Even in modern times we put any person that had a past relation from Japan into concentration camps, removing all their rights because they lo...

One Hour and Forward

 We'll start off with that point as you have just fallen asleep, when you slip away into that darkness where are you? Are you aware of your body, conscious of anything at all? Do you have any concerns, worries, joy, doubts, or fears? When you think about it, that part of you which is aware of anything at all, that part became absolutely nothing last night and has done so every time you have slept since the day you were born. Every night you go back to the beginning, the absence of all awareness, you become nothing in your own consciousness. In many spiritual understandings, everything begins at nothing. People question how that can be, what can come from nothing? It seems reasonable to ask this question until you consider that nothing holds a potential for everything, and potential is what has come from nothing. As we are in the nothing, potential itself has done something unexpected, it created a void; like taking a breath in we as nothing created an absence and in it potential ...

I give you give

 The unknown dimensions are so vast and filled with such wonders that our minds cower behind this beautifuly solid state of reality. There are worlds and imaginings waiting for you to open the doors of your awareness. Finding a light switch inside your mind you can see that by clicking it on you create a glow in the dark. Your energy is astounding and can carry you to all the possibilities in eternity with greater levels of certainty the more you imagine. As your inner power grows so will the energy you have to change the structure of the world that surrounds you. You do not need to be manipulated by the forces of this world, you are more than any money driven fool can control. Share all you learn and give those around you the gift of your freedom so they may find it on the other side of their own brain. We will mold this and multiple worlds into landscapes where love is the guide, fear and sadness are experienced in joy and there is ease of mind throughout your days. We place so m...
