Hope is an act of willingness

Hope is an act of will - George Washington's Blog about hope amidst a worldthat seems to justify despair.

"To focus on the difficult is to make fear the master, but to share the experience of the easy is to gain the courage to move through fear". This is recalled (paraphrased) from Emmanuel's Book.
Everything  - did I say everything? EVERYTHING! - depends on where we are coming FROM - for this directs our attention and frames our interpretation, generating experience that then reinforces the predicate beliefs and definitions we are operating from.
What we give attention to, we feed and magnify. But note, what we give attention to as a device of diverting attention from our own conflicted and false foundation will have all of the energetic of the denied feelings - BUT seem to be 'out there' in the diversionary tactic.
This is another way of saying one does not escape sin, fear and guilt by projecting it or redistributing it onto others - and then hating, fighting, denying or killing them.
One escapes such dissonance of conflicted self experience by looking straight at the fear and recognizing what is not You as untrue and what is true as the true of you. That is to allow a false sense of self and its consequent self-protections to be brought to awareness and undone.
Hope leaves a way open where despair and cynicism lock in with guilt and powerlessness. Faith and willingness for wholeness and peace reach and yield to the movement of Life - the true movement of our being. As the awakening movement of wholeness is knowing. From such a point one discerns and chooses to act, to stand to extend and express as the simple presence that in a sense Lives You - not as an 'other' but intimately reveals You in and through and as the situation - the moment - the movement. Seek not words for the reminder or who you are. Seek to be stirred and quickened by an innocence of being that is free of the mind-manufactured spin in which attention SEEMS locked and looped into.
Let your goal be to come from a clean place - free of the baiting and deceits of the fear-mind. For they can only be triggered by your own corresponding vibratory resonance. So use the 'causes' of self-judging in blame and anger to reflect the points of one's own mind that are in a sense like back doors through which manipulations are attracted into your experience.

Just be our selves (Hope to faith to belief to knowing)

(I didn't keep track of the post to which this replied but it expresses hope for our world, but in perhaps a wishful way that does not activate, call forth or manifest very strongly)


Did you know that certain kinds of metamorphosis in nature have a crossover period in which two systems occupy the same body - and express the same DNA.

The parallels are strikingly resonant in me.

Hope is more than hope when it actively manifests a faith that itself becomes a knowing - but if one sets conditions and outcomes one hopes only for something that fits your shopping list and don't recognize or follow or grow the prompts that the energy of hope will bring into your day.

While there is a responsibility in communicating our presence in whatever way we most feel moved and in the arenas we feel called to engage in, there is not a personal responsibility for the form of the outcome excepting only this; that you will see it through the lens of your definitions and belief systems and will use it accordingly.

Humanity tries to force the mirror image to conform - but what is reflected in our world is a manifestation of our Consciousness - which is infinitely vaster than our personality structure - though that is the lens that is either transparent to aligned experience or 'a glass darkly' whereby we recognize nothing and know not what we do.

What is it to align with your Spirit or with the feeling of excitement, passion or joy that IS you and you know that in its expression as being on track regardless of the mental stuff of self-invalidations?

Crisis can awaken and stir us - but is fear of pain and loss the basis for our energy? It can be. It often drives the human world as a negative agenda. It can also be a way of running away from our self.

I feel 'lucky' (I prefer blessed) that YOU have 'come along (Praetor). The young have their own unfolding - but for sure we can inspire simply be being and holding any kind of true presence - because that is not more of the same attempts to coerce that calls forth THEIR defences.

We can only be ourselves. What if ALL that is really called for or required, is for us to be our selves? Obviously one can hide in that as an intellectualisation - but I'm not suggesting being an intellectualisation of yourself.
