LIGHTWORKER - SHINE THAT LIGHT

From the corporations that you purchase your soft drinks from to the oil companies that you fill your petrol tanks with - how has your product come to you? These products are a result of corporate activity both home and abroad - utilising economic, political and social influences to bring those products to you. Are others suffering to ensure you are offered the cheapest product? What is the price of luxury?

What about the political affairs of the planet? We may feel that they are out of our control or they are events that should only be handled by those in power, who have the power to make changes. However, remember that all people in power are people just like you - the only difference is that they were elected by people like you to represent people like you. What makes them better to make decisions than you? More importantly, are they making decisions that reflect a policy of peace, harmony and resolution to war? Or are they involved in their own personal battles of egos, revenge and hatred?

It is easy to sit back and blame what we see before us - but this is a reflection of our conditioning and above all else our belief that all power resides with those who are making the "big" decisions. In truth, all decisions are made along the way - and this is where individual power resides. All governments stand on the shoulders of its people - if those people move or shift then the government has to shift also. The biggest illusion of twentieth century democracy is that governments have more power than the people. This illusion, confirmed by the apathy of voters and non-voters, have allowed governments free reign.

Living in a free society means that you are free to do as you wish. You are free to create change. You are free to challenge injustices that you see occurring - both home and abroad, for you realise you are responsible for all that occurs before you. The Western world harbours an imbalance of power in the world at this time - from economics to politics, power is concentrated in the West. However, what does this really mean? It is not Western governments that hold this power, it is the people! It is You. You have the power to create charities that can help thousands across the world, you have the power to lobby politicians to change policy that affects millions across the world, you have the power to change your leaders.

But what is the "West" but an ideology, simply more segregation and categorisation. In truth, all people have the same equal power despite the type of society they live in. Some have more difficult paths if their freedoms have been removed. However, there are always ways to uphold the Light. A Lightworker serves the Light and stands fast in the truth of his or her own power, truth. A Warrior of Love knows the path can be very difficult but he or she holds the Light - both for themselves and for others, radiating that Light for others in the storm to steer their ships towards safety, comfort and Love. Warriors of Love exist in every country, disguised as a particular creed, colour or nationality. Deep down, these Warriors know that all religions, cultures, creeds, colours are simply wonderful flavours of the same sacred force.

It is time to take responsibility for the suffering of all people and realise we constantly have the power to make changes in the world - this is our responsibility, to act or not to act. This is not blame. Responsibility and blame are very different. Blame claims one person is at fault and another is not. We are not blaming ourselves for the suffering in the world, instead we are taking responsibility - taking our power back to recognise that we can each make a crucial difference. It is time to ask yourself what do you want to see in the world? Do you want suffering, hatred, segregation and destruction to continue or do you want to see genuine peace, harmony, progression, advancement, unity and creation.?

The power is within you, it always has been.
