This message (not posted here) was originally geared towards women only.  It was asked that you post it on the wall of seven women you believe deserve it.  While I firmly believe the intentions behind this original message was filled with love, admiration, respect and Love ... I personally found it limiting.  Not to mention I felt it perpetuated separation.

Again, I don't believe for one minute that this was the intention of the original message creator.  There was way too much love exuding from that original message to believe otherwise.   And I am not blogging this message to put down the message either.

I understand why it was created.  And yes, I do appreciate the love in which it was express.   But part of our experience here is to shift the conscious awareness. And we can't very well do that if we don't point out even the most subtle need for change.

I felt guided to change the original message and placed it on my Face Book page for all to see -- I then set out posting it on the page of others.  I am not finished posting.  My goal is to have this message on every single person's page listed in my network.  And hopefully (keeping everything crossed),  I will meet this goal by week's end! 

And speaking of change ... As I sit here, the one message that keeps ringing in my ears is ...  

If you wish to see change in the world, then you must first BE the Change!

Being the Change You Wish to See In The World.   What does that mean to you?

For me, being the change means being aware of where I am promoting separation.  Whether subtle or out right, there is a promotion of separation that is being perpetuated---Everywhere -- by Everyone!  In some instances, it is done innocently and without conscious intention. As a whole, we human experiencers are so accustomed to utilizing separation that we don't even notice when we are doing it.  

For me personally, Being consciously aware of where and when I am personally doing this separation, is a small part of being the change.    In turn, I assist others to make that shift into that particular awareness.  And they ... in turn ... do it for others.  And so on, and so on ...

Duality vs. Separation

 I asked my companion Antari what is the difference between duality and separation ---Aren't they same?  His answer --  " No, they are  not the same.  You see, Duality is the blending of  energies.  Separation is the repelling of energies."   

How would  a person know the difference? 

"Separation creates a sense of loss. Duality promotes the sense of unity while encouraging individualism.  When you feel lifted and connected you have experienced the blending of energies.  When you begin to feel a heaviness, a disconnection ..."

You have experienced the repelling of energies!  You experience separation!

"That is correct Beloved!"

Excerpt from "Interview With A Spirit Guide: My Conversations with Antari"

*~*~*~*~* 

Being the Change you wish to See in the World begins with blending all energies together while at the same encouraging individualism.   Promoting a unity that uplifts all ... not just a select few.

As a woman, I understand the need to remind all women how much they are appreciated and loved.  To reach out to my all sisters and help them remember they are strong and truly amazing.  I know and fully understand the intention behind these messages.   But I also know that we women are not the only ones in need of this message! 

If you truly wish to see change in the world ... then you must first BE that change!

What Is Love?

The following article was first presented roughly seven years ago.   Of course, I had a little help from my spirit companion ... Antari!  :-)

Seeing how St. Valentine's Day is less than a week away, I thought I would repost it!

What Is Love?

The definitions of Love is as vast as the Universe itself.  It is the only emotion that has it's own Holiday (St. Valentine's day), it's the only emotion that has more songs and poems dedicated in it's name than anyone could possibly count or remember. 

But do you, as an individual, really comprehend and fully understand the true definition of Love?

Love can be found anywhere & everywhere.  And best of all,  when you least at expect it!

There are different levels of love such as love for your spouse,  your boyfriend/girlfriend; the love you have for your parents and your assorted relatives & siblings; the love for a child, a pet or a dear close friend. All of these are the varying levels of Love.  And while each of these levels go from one degree to another, they all have one vital thing in common ...  it exists in our lives. 

But what is Love?  Really?

Love is energy in it's purest and most concentrated form.  It is the most powerful energy in the entire Universe. In fact, it is Love that created the Universe itself; and it is Love that binds it together.

Throughout human history all the way to this present day 21st Century,  obsessions and addictions, pain & abuse  has been, and continues to be, equated to (and with) Love!

In fact, the number one emotion that has been and continues to be equated with Love is ... fear.    It is the only emotion known to humankind to have this claim to fame!  Bet you didn't know that ... did you?

How many of you reading this right now (and be HONEST) have equated your obsession and/or addiction to Love? 

Ok, I'll make it easier for you by asking you the following questions:

• Do you find yourself not wanting to let go of a person?  Do you find yourself saying, "I can't let them go, I've tried!"? 

• Do you find yourself with this seeming "need" to hear their voice, even if it is only a recording, i.e., voice mail?  Do you find yourself with this seeming "need" to see them ... if only from a distance or a photograph?

• Do you go out of your way to just "happen" to be somewhere, be it in a store, out on the street and/or online, somewhere you know they are going to be so you can just "casually" run into them?

This is not Love! It is an addiction which often leads to becoming an obsession.  And by the way folks, on some levels and in some states, the above is considered stalking! 

But even if it is being done on the most innocent of levels, if you find yourself doing these things ... you are in a state of addiction/obsession and not in the state of Love. 

Love, true and genuine Love, is Freedom for all  parties involved.  It is the Freedom of being.  It is the state in which you are truly happy whether you are with the one you love or not.  Love does not cling or hold on to another.  Love does not need anything to feel complete and whole.  It just IS.
