Dear friends,
The more we try to normalize negativity, the more we feel we can do nothing about it. That is what we do when we blame anything in our lives on other people. “well, if only they would behave differently…then I could…….” Worse is the perception “that’s just the way it is with humans.” Or the ever-popular “what did you expect ?” In a sense we have given up on possibility, on love, on peace, on prosperity. We have accepted the current experience as the last word on the subject. It never is.
Actually, what we believe now is the first word on the subject and is the start of a series of effects. Our word is Cause to our experience. But we are not talking about an idle thought; we are speaking of a dynamic faith in the hidden potential in every one of us. Our word leads to our actions, to our way of being in the world. It becomes an alive energy and it is portable. Wherever we may be, our deeper beliefs are present. This is what we bring to the world; nothing but our perception of who we are and what is possible.
Think well of our fellow humans. Judge not by the ignorance they may be operating under; know there is an open door in every mind that is the exit point for all we want for our world. In New Thought spirituality, we are about calling out the truer nature of ourselves and each other through the awakening of the intellect to the principle of co-creation, and by healing the heart of its sense of woundedness. This is true social activism. What we do is then charged with cheerful expectancy and the joy of serving the higher idea.
Stay tuned in,
