The "United" States of America!

Witnessing surrender...

Just came back from watching a political candidate who is running for President.

Half way though his speech you could see where he surrendered to the holy spirit... At that very moment he went from OK to amazing...because the holy spirit is amazing...

The love, the togetherness, the uplifting of people, with a filled Mellon Area in Pittsburgh, this candidate captured and captivated the audience though surrendering to the holy spirit.

I was undecided until I felt that familiar energy of unconditional love...

That same energy that I allow, and channel in all my hypnotherapy sessions...

Yes, holy spirit has my vote!

The message has nothing to do with the person saying the words...

Obama is just the channel, the message he is channeling, now that is divine...

My friends who very much dislike Obama need to know that I do feel that both Obama and McCain have very poor ideas on how to fix the issues in America.

If I was voting based on both candidates proposals of how they would fix the issues I would not have voted for either candidate.

I do feel that America needs to be brought together as one nation again.

So many do not even know their own neighbors name, let alone anything about them. We focus on this person is this or that based on job or lack of job...yet their are just a fellow American...

Every time that you say one bad thing about any American you are dividing America! And you are making America weaker.

The very basics of battle or war strategy is called "Divide and Concur"

Your proposed enemies that would divide and concur you do not need to lift a finger to do the first part. You do it all on your own.

You listen to one sided radio or TV shows that further divide this great country of ours and you call your self patriotic saying this this whole group of Americans are the problem!

Still to this date more people died in the "Civil War" fought right here on our own soil, than did so in any war since.

Yet, you do not learn by the very history that stares you in the face...

You insist on being Republican or Democratic - This side, or that side - NORTH OR SOUTH...

You need to wake up and see where you are all headed, when your focus on division.

Put down your petty differences and learn to work with one another.

Whither America becomes stronger, or weaker depends on what you do next!

I listened to so many people who are saying this election will affect me this way, or effect me that way, with no concern for how it will affect the All of America!

President of the United States is just that - Its President of the United States!
Not president of little you personally! If you can not grasp that, then you should not be voting at all!

We are one Nation Under God - and we will be indivisible again!

I voted for the candidate to is most focused on uniting people in common purpose of respecting and loving one another.

That candidate was Obama hands down...was he the most inexperienced candidate running for office...

Yet he won the election...

He won as the next President of the United States...


If that alone does not say that America is shouting to be unified as one nation, as one people, as one America...where we are one family who actually gives a shit about one another, then I don't know what does!

People care so much about their own imitate family, but when it comes to their greater family "America" they are so quick to abandon them!

Why?

Have you not learned anything from history?

Do you wish for another civil war?

Is that what you really want?


If you can't care about your fellow Americans, in this family we call America - than that is just sad...

I do care, and I hope you find a way in your heart to start caring too.

America is a family...

Yes, we are at times very dysfunctional family, but let's work at healing that dysfunction.

Start by learning how to accept your fellow family members (other Americans) just as they are...

They are how they are...

Accepting them does not mean that you have to be like them...

It just means that you respect the way that they are as they respect the way that you are...

When that happens, we have family of Americans that is strong, that is united, that is powerful.

A fellow American is only a stranger till you say hello and allow them to become your friend...

Friends are so much more powerful than strangers...don't you agree?

Together let's make America even stronger, and an even more wonderful place to live!

Hug a fellow American today!

Say hello!

Make a new friend!

Allow "United" States to really mean "United"!

Or will you uplift yourself though unconditional love and acceptance?

thus freeing yourself...

What will you do next, and why will you do it?

Oneness - Your first lesson

Everyone is you and you are them...

Know this and you will never hurt another...

Teach them and the truth will set you free...

Gays, Lesbians and the Catholic Chruch...

Reflection:

I am giving a hug to my friends brother, as I have just met him.

He is a Catholic priest and is on vacation with his two brothers.

Father Tom has been a priest for under a year.

I was looking forward to having some interesting conversations with Father Tom.

For the most part I agree with his overall philosophy. He focuses on love and forgiveness. In his three parishes Father Tom does his best to teach love and acceptance.

He also does his best to educate people to the positives of the Catholic Church. He does his best to dispel misconceptions of Priests who preach the whole fire and brimstone.

As I asked what do they do with Priests who are unruly and not presenting this positive image. Father Tom told me that they try retraining first and if that does not work, then they move them to much smaller parishes where they will have less of a negative impact.


Since I was finding out what the Catholic Churches stands were on many issues.

I brought up a big one :-)

I made the statement " I just don't get why we even have labels of gay and lesbian for people" "If people can find love then who cares if it's with a woman and man or a man and man or a women and women"

And then predigest rears its ugly head...

Here is the official stance of the Catholic Church "If you are gay or lesbian. We accept you into our Catholic churches with open arms, as long as you do not act on being Gay or Lesbian (No kissing, intercourse and such). For to do so, is to sin."

I reply "That is not acceptance at all!"

Father Tom "Yes, we would never turn them away"

I reply "Yes, but you are not accepting them as they are at all! That's bullshit! That's not even close to acceptance."

Father Tom "No, we do accept them"

I reply "OK, let's take Jesus and Mary Madeline.

Somehow I don't recall Jesus saying you're a prostitute and you need to repent.

No, Jesus praised her for the faith that she had in front of all who would Judge her.

Jesus taught never to judge anyone.

Love your neighbor as yourself, forgive everyone.

He even said love your enemies.

In fact if Jesus were right here, right now at this lunch table he would explain what acceptance really is, because you're missing the picture."

Then the subject got changed as there was no reply to the last statement.

Personally I feel it would be completely absurd to think that just because I am only attracted to women, that all men could only be attracted to women.

I really don't care for Country music, but I don't expect the rest of the world to dislike it just because I do. That would be really silly!

Just in the U.S. there are approximately 4.3 million people who are gay or lesbian. That figure is really low as it reflects just the number who are freely admitting that they are gay or lesbian.

So let me get this straight, are going to tell me that 4.3 million hard working, life loving Americans Citizens are wrong, or bad just because they should believe and do just as you believe and do?

An unruly two year old comes into mind...That is about the age you are behaving like if this is your belief...Their not just like me, so I can't play with them...wa wa wa....

Jesus Christ and I do not believe in double standards, or predigest in any form.

So I will go ahead and agree with the Catholics churches stand that no Gay or Lesbians should be allowed to kiss, hug, or have sex in public or private - as long as the catholic church passes the very same laws for each and every heterosexual on the planet.

And when their religion is no more for they have become extinct, maybe, just maybe they will look back and reread the words of the spiritual leader of the church - Jesus Christ

And as the last member of the Catholic church takes their very last breath, they may exclaim "Father please forgive us for our judgments against our loving brothers and sisters..."

But then, it will be too late...

The time is now...

The time is now to start paying attention to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ...

I propose a challenge to each and every Catholic and Christian church a crossed the globe.

I challenge you to make 2009 the year of Jesus Christ's life...

I challenge you to teach the teaching of Jesus and really focus on why he taught, what he taught...

Jesus gave each and every one of you the keys to Gods kingdom, the kingdom of unconditional love and acceptance, and sadly you dropped them on the floor and stepped right over them.

You cannot enter your birthright, the kingdom of God, with predigest and judgment in your hearts...

Reread the teachings of the master, our lord and savior Jesus Christ...

Teach his true word...the word of unconditional love, and of true acceptance...

Live his teachings....share his peace, his love, and his laughter with your brothers and sisters...

Uplift every person you come in contact with...Talk to them, share with them, teach them and learn from them...

For that my brothers and sisters is living Christ, that is teaching Christ, that is knowing Christ...

Begin...

The Arby's Girl

Stomach feels that roast beef would really hit the spot.

So I head toward Arby's. My mouth begins to water at the thought of how wonderful this roast beef is going to taste...

Just one more car to go by and I can pull into the parking lot, yes now I am pulling up to the sidewalk.

I get outside of the car a this wonderful aroma gently caresses my nostrils, oh yes, the wonderful smell of roast beef...

I walk in the door and wow, what a line...

There has to be at least 12 people in front of me in line. I now look down at my watch, 12:15pm I landed smack dab in the middle of fast food rush hour...

It's OK I am off this day, and I can wait...

My stomach starts to rumble as this thought comes a crossed the mind...

I am waiting, and then waiting some more...

Then I noticed something...

The Arby's girl...

She was not overly attractive, nor was she unattractive, she was just there...

What she was doing however, was really bizarre...

I watch in disbelief, as she greeted each and every customer...

She would have a positive comment on their clothing, or their hair, or some of them she knew and would ask "hey, been out on the boat lately?"

These very brief comments, and conversations, were completely fascinating...

She uplifted each, and every person she met...

As many of the people were serious, or angry before they got to her, each one went to their tables or their cars with a big smile on their face...

Why is this bizarre?

How may people do you know that do this with every person they meet?

How would the world change if everyone would do this?


I tell you one thing, the Roast beef tasted better than ever!



So when you meet a stranger - Remember the Arby's Girl, and ask how can I uplift this person today...

Jesus Christ who lives in your heart, will smile when you do this...

For joy is brought to Christ when we up lift another, for love is the language that Christ speaks...
