Enact change within yourself by setting your intent to a new position. Shift volitionally on an inward basis. Tell yourself a new story about yourself. Switch from negative inner talk to positive inner talk. Consciously seek a new line of reasoning so that your unconscious self will pick up on it and give you new signals, references, and suggestions. You are a unit under your own control. You have the power within you to change yourself. Once you learn this you can learn the best methods by which to speak and interact with that unit. Begin with the loving kindness you wish to see in the world around you. Begin by being loving and kind to yourself so that the loving kindness you wish for in the world may manifest in a truly powerful way. As within, so without.

Sending you love,

Turn inward now, away from the discontent outside of you, and get centered in what is truly right. For only then, if you are centered and calm in the heart’s truth and the heart’s knowing will you have the fortitude and knowledge to proceed along a proper and rightful path. A path of heart supersedes all other paths. Begin there, and then see what happens to bring about peace without. Peace within, peace without.

Sending you love,

When criticizing others don’t forget to look at the self and find the same criticisms. For that which is in others is also in the self. That which you find unnerving or frightening in the actions, language, or ideas of another lies also within the shadows of the self. For all are the same in the inner world; angel and devil, light and dark, good and evil. This is the universal duality that all suffer. Whether repressed or not, it is present in all beings. Resolution comes in knowing this and deciding which path is the right path of heart. The path of compassion or the path of hate? The path of equanimity or the path of disruption? The path of ego or the path of spirit? In the inner world there is always work to do. As within, so without. Change begins with you.

Sending you love,

Witness

I wrote the following poem a few weeks ago. It just came through me without being conjured or called. I felt the urge to grab a pen, and this is what came through. I hope it helps, especially in these times of turmoil when we may not feel heard, respected, appreciated for the journeys we have taken, when no one wants to listen to our story, when we feel alone in the world and our heart is heavy. Perhaps this offering that I received will offer you something. Here is the poem:

Witness

Let the sun be your witness, for it has warmed you.

Let the wind be your witness, for it has heard you.

Let the darkness be your witness, for it carries your story.

Let the earth be your witness, for it bears your pain.

Let the dawn be your witness, for it knows your dreams.

Let the birds be your witness, for they sing your song.

Let the water be your witness, for it washes your tears.

Let the whole Universe be your witness, for it knows you better than you do.

Let your Soul be your witness, for it has already gone where you have gone.

Be your own witness, for you know who you truly are.

Sending you love and support,

Jan

To pontificate is all well and good, but far better to activate, to actually take action that is positive, progressive, practical, doable, and right for all. First do for the self what you wish for others. If you begin with you there is a far better chance that the change you so wish to see outside of you, in the world, will actually happen. Don’t be part of the problem any longer. Be part of the solution. Change the self and, yes, you CAN change the world. There is no better moment than now.

Sending you all love and support,
