 It
has been interesting for me to see and experience, how peace has led me
to sit
with fear. Physical, Personal and
Relation
ship fears, Social and
Cultural fears,
Ancestral fears. War fears, Universal fears.
In my therapeutic
work with clients and my
own inner work, I see certain patterns of
lessons
and fears repeating themselves.
I do my best to pay attention to the
messages
that ask for healing. Lately I
have felt the primal universal fear at
its
seeming core. I experience this universal,
core fear as betrayal and
punishment.
I see how no one else would
destroy us, it is we who threaten to destroy ourselves, as individuals
and as a species. It is we who create culture, and manifest love and fear
within every moment. It is us who live lives of judgment and punishment.
This lesson comes with the territory of being a perceptual personality
and spiritual being, here to make mistakes and to heal. It is my passionate
desire to create peace and healing in my Universe that leads me to observe
my fears of betrayal of my body, my personality, my relationship betrayals,
my social and cultural betrayals and punishments, governmental betrayal
and the betrayal and punishments of nations and wars. I believe betrayal
and punishment have lead to severe shame (not living up to the standards
of others), and guilt (not living up to our own standards). We are betrayed,
punished and broken cultures with a common need for peace, healing and
harmony. I feel it is every cultures healing opportunity to look at its
history of betrayal and punishment and gather the willingness for creating
its opposites to become a bigger peaceful reality. I see the opposite
of betrayal as re-establishing connection and the willingness to show
up with positive commitment. Saying, no matter what the past indicates,
I show up with a universal desire for peace, both yours and mine.
I see the opposite of punishment
as choosing to appreciate the gentle art of blessing everyone and everything
and drawing blessings to yourself and your world. For me its about first
being outraged by the ravages of war, greed, betrayal and punishment,
indoctrination and exploitation and finally having enough compassion for
myself and others to truly commit to the process of healing fear, betrayal
and punishment on every level. This is the service of the peacemaker,
to humbly accept the problems of the past and be willing to be part of
the solutions now. There is no viable alternative. Our survival and the
quality of life for further generations depends on it. Right here and
right now! How can we reprogram our current hypnotic war like dance of
betrayal and punishment in our everyday world? Could we enter a divine
trance dance for peace?
What would be my favorite common
example of everyone giving, showing and receiving blessings, love, peacemaking
and healing intentions?? Even from a distance and without words, and with
an obvious universal symbol? It would be "Flipping the Peace sign! We
proudly display our two main fingers spaced fully apart in a peaceful
gesture. I always flip people the peace sign on the highway who pass me.
I signal them that I am assisting their peaceful passage. I flipped it
to a cop in a park once who looked at me with suspicion, like I was hiding
something and I shook my head no and gestured You (pointing to him) are
the Peace once again giving him the peace sign and he got it! Of course
I was totally clear about being in the space of sharing peace so it felt
perfect that he got it! How many times have you flipped someone the peace
sign and meant it? How many people have seen and reflected it back to
you?
In Palmistry the natural space between these two fingers indicates
freedom and independence of thought, one no longer bound by traditions
creeds and dogmas, betrayals and punishments. In my life it signifies
the clear intention and motivation to bless everyone and hold everything
in peace and harmony within this sacred moment, now. Sharing the peace
sign has become my favorite divination tool as well. Its interesting to
observe peoples reactions, some wonder if you're full of shit, while others
clearly get the message and reflect it back with a warm smile! I find
that the more you share it, the more important it becomes to you as you
can sense people who need it and people who want to share it and give
it back! My daughters have always teased me about my "Peace Flippin Shit,"
as they call it, because I've always embarrassed them! Yes, even sharing
a warm glow of good energy can be embarrassing.
I dare you to Do it anyway
for the common good! Wouldn't it be a delicious miracle or soulful demonstration
of your own truth if you could move beyond all of the betrayals and punishments
and their projections on every level and embrace peace, loving compassion
and understanding and have it shared and understood in your world everyday.
What if your choices for peace can keep the flow of it to facilitate healing
physically, personally, in relationships, socially, culturally and universally?
What if we can tell our history from a perspective of peace, honoring
its strong voice and choose to create a culture and history of peace,
harmony and excellence in every moment! It is time to stand naked in your
self trust, choosing peace, love and compassion, as these qualities are
truly the foundation of inner knowing. Believe in yourself, your soul
and the sacred web of life which connects all aspects of the great oneness.
Trust that loving peace, the dominating force of soul life is in rapport
with all souls and thus perpetuating the loving dance of sacred life in
every peace filled moment.
Choose Peace Now and Celebrate
Peace! May your excellence in peacemaking reflect this saying about excellence:
Excellence
"Excellence is the result of
caring more than others think is wise;
risking more than others think is safe;
dreaming more than others think is practical
and expecting more than others think is possible."
Remember that love is letting
go of and evolving fear. Remember that being the excellent peacemaker
you truly are is being the perfect solution!
