{Freedom}

With everything that's going on in society (the racial, sociopolitical, and societal issues in America; the cultural, political, and basic human rights issues around the world) it is very easy to become discouraged and to lose hope that anything will ever get better.

With all the various people crying for peace and love in different aspects of life (without really offering solutions...I'm not the only one noticing this, right?), it is easy to just figure that nothing's ever going to change and that a handfull of "wishful thinkers" can't really do much good in the grand scheme of things.

I am here to tell you that ever great uprising of change started with a handfull of people. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't start out on the steps of the Lincoln memorial with his "I have a dream..." speech. It was the collective mindset of many, and the culmination of some ideas he'd gathered from a few other speakers, that sparked his flame and his now, widely-known speech.

He had to start talking with family and friends, around a dinner/lunch/whatever table, sharing ideas and spreading hope.

Let me tell you a (not so) secret though: Dr. King's rallys and speeches cultivated a change (the effects of that hightened energy), but in the across-the-board kind of way it only lasted for a short while, and change only had just started to come about (like semi-successfully pushing a car a short ways).

We are not going to see widespread change (the way everyone wants; that universal peace and love) until people take responsibility for the fact that they themselves are responsible for the negativity in the world.

Everyone, I don't care how zen/righteous/balanced/whatever you say you are, everyone has negative beliefs that drive them and their actions, responses, thought processes; everything. Everyone has negative beliefs because (and this is scientifically proven) everyone, before the age of five, is making conclusions about *everything* in their world. Decisions about cats, couches, dogs, what they think about different foods and different people, sidewalks, hairbrushes, days, nights, books...everything). Their kid-brain was making 700 neurological connections a second. In all of these decisions that shape what they like and dislike, they're also making conclusions like: "I am not capable," "I'm worthless," "I'm unloved," "It's not me," "Relationships suck," "I'm alone," and SO many more like those.

These are the negative beliefs that drive you, your life and is what causes you to shape your life in the way that you do.

And everyone has them. If you've ever thought anything negative about yourself, your life, people, etc. then you have a negative belief within you. You can't give it, unless you have it. (So basically, humans are pretty screwed up.)

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY THERE! God never meant for life to suck, he never meant for us to have to work so hard to be good and to push *so hard* to do everything we're supposed to do.

There is so much that is available to people that they're unable to see because of their blindness. And I don't mean physical blindness, but their lack of self-awareness. Those whose eyesignt doesn't go past the end of their nose. Those who take in so much that they don't realise that they believe fairytales and aren't aware that so much of what they take in is...mythology.

It is possible to be awaken from those misguided ideas, though. You're not stuck.

As someone with a strong religious background (and someone whose time in the midst of that religiosity is pretty heavily punctuated by all the times I rebelled and questioned what I was being taught), I can say that the freedom on the other side of letting go of mythology and pride is...beyond words.

I will say, though: With everything I've been able to experience since being on my journey to get rid of my negative beliefs, I've currently been stuck in this limbo of confusion and understanding about those who can say statements, one after another, that completely contradict the dogma they teach. The ones unaware of how insensitive they are to...basically everyone, despite how much they'll go on about doing the right thing and people a good person. The ones who...and this isn't me casting a stone, 'cause I've been there. Just being real...the ones who go to church every Sunday and yet can still look at someone who is genuinely in need and tell them that they (homeless person) have to fend for themselves. (WWJD? Right?) I've personally seen this happen so many times.


*sigh* At the same time I'm writing this, and I know that those people who don't understand after being presented truth are not among those whose eyes have been opened. God will open some people's eyes and ears, and will leave others closed. I dont' get to decide that (as much as I want everyone to be free). They can't even decide that. (Nothing ever happens except for what God has ordained.)

God knows, it can be kinda frustrating when you're trying to offer someone the ability to connect deeper with themselves and others; for them to be able to see a bigger picture on life...and then they dismiss you because they didn't find the truth themselves (which is a response resulting from pride), or because they don't want to give up what they've known (a result of the fear of the unknown and also pride) and then choose to be oblivious to the BIGNESS OF LIFE that is available to them.

I get it. I get that people, because of their negative beliefs, are afraid of biggness...the possibility of a future beyond the furthest reaches of their imagination and a reality that plays out differently than their 1- or 5- or 10-year plan projects. I also know that there are more people, like me, who are tired of the same old thing over and over.

Those are the people I most desperately want to give that red pill to. (Matrix reference.) In order to take the pill, they've got to choose to do it. They've got to want to make a change. They've got to realise that doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a varying result is the definition of insanity. They've got to come to the awareness that they're living in insanity...and they've got be willing to realise that it sucks.

I know..."It's not just that easy to wake up and realise that you're life isn't as good as you may have thought and that you need a new basis of belief." I agree...I know that for me it took some guiding. I mean, I knew that, with the things going on in my life, my level of existence was pretty low, but I didn't realise how deeply I'd been digging my hole. I'd be willing to wager that most of you aren't entirely aware of how deep the hole you're digging for yourself is.

The beautiful thing is that the message doesn't end with, "You're awful. Try harder to do good!" Lord, no! (Where's the hope in that?) There is a way to fill back in the ground and stand on a solid platform again.

"OK, then. What is it??" It's not my message to spread, but I can point you to the messenger. She is amazing and God has gifted her with the ability to explain anything and everything clearly and simply.

Many of you are willing to sit under the teaching clergy for hours and months and years, putting energy into someone who isn't giving you the results you're looking for...The message that God has given Sandra Kay *is* because, and I am a personal witness to this, everyone who has listened to this message and has internalised and fully embraced it, have had radically positive changes in their lives. It's not at all about following her, or her wanting you to follow her (at all), she just wants to share the message that God has given her. 

OH! One last thing: all of life, everything we experience in our physical life, is about energy and the exchange of it. Actually, ALL areas of existence is about energy. It just is. What energy are you putting into your universe? What energy are you putting into people? Do you have 100% peace about the results you're getting back from the energy you're putting out? If not, do you think it's time for a change?
