When humanity is worn down by years of violence, even the most
optimistic have trouble stemming the tide of despair. We do not see
hope through the trees or dreams among the stars. Life becomes a
struggle to carry on.
Despite our history, violence is not a prerequisite to be human. Life
does not need to be in a state of conflict to grow. In life, the
beauty, the grace and the good vastly outnumber the bad. You see it
every day, from a baby’s first step to an elderly couple holding hands
as they stroll through a park. There is beauty here. There is hope
here. There are dreams here.
Yet, when a people exist in the shadow of hopelessness there is little
light to see. In times such as these we must remember that mankind has
risen to where we are today not by the wars we have waged, but by the
perseverance of the human spirit to follow the goodness of our soul.
We are stronger than we believe and while there is a depth to our
despair it is not insurmountable.
The steps to humanity’s recovery though will not come about one person
at a time. Global despair requires global action. The day will come
when the people of the world no longer will tolerate the hurt, the
outrage, the sadness and the violence. The day will come when we as a
people act as one to put an end to our suffering - when we understand
that we are the creators of our despair but we are also the builders
of our future. That day, we will take the first step from despair as a
people, and as a people we will be lifted. Humanity shall step outside
the shadow of hopelessness and into the light of our future where
mankind works together to promote the well being of all life. There is
a cure for despair, and we are that cure. |

There is strong speculation, from our scientists, of parallel
universes, but you dont have to look further than the visual world
about you to see that reality in action.
The cause of many conflicts now and in the past has been motivated by
one groups desire to make the world a better place, by imposing their
visions on others.Even the work of Ghandi, who advocated peaceful
disobedience to one such group 'of masters', resulted in one of the
most significant flash points currently existing on the world scene.
My parents and grand parents lived through two world wars, and a
depression.The western world was in a pretty bad state for the first
two thirdes of last century.Not by watching news reports of a distant
conflict, but in their own back yards (in Eorope at least).
At the whim of a king, citizens would be marched off in their hundreds
of thousands , to their certain death, but today, the main thing that
dominates many, is fear. Fear of depression, of world conflict, of
global pollution and 'the so called 'axis of evil'.
The child mortality rate was at a nightmarish rate, and today,thanks
to the qualities to which you referred, the loss of a child is
extremely rare.
In a very real sense, those who get 'beyond fear', can live the life
you are dreaming of, here and now.

Yes but in many cases it seems to be one step forward, one
step back, or even two steps back. The child mortality rate
has now been replaced by millions and millions of quickie,
cosmetic and convenience abortions of unborn children. The
happy families and marriages for life, now replaced by
quickie divorces and one parents families. The whim of a
king to march off citizens to their death, is now the whim
of Americans, who massacre citizens in their thousands.

Many cases, most of which are in the third world.There are always
chain reactions when such invasions take place.
You refer to 'unborn children', so we are not on the same page in our
overview.

Yes we spoke on parallel universes some time ago and we
spoke of two incidents on Earth that were caused by their
existence.
Of course you do not have to listen to us, you can listen to
your own human scientists if you prefer but we spoke of
thought/mind reading and invisibility long before human
scientists proved these were possible and the same with
parallel universes.
Soon there will be more discoveries that human scientists
and doctors and psychiatrists and others will make, many of
which will have been prophesied and foretold in our
messages. Only proving once again the short sightedness and
stupidity of humans, who will only listen to other humans
rather than take the advantage and benefit of listening

Not far enough, why have you stopped short? You describe 'our' history,
in fact. There is much more reality here than just hope. And beauty is
nice but more of it is just daily routine.
Histories of war and violence are in spite of this.

It is the natural human spirit that follows primitive want of security.

Why are you not being specific here? By your remarks above you already
recognize this is seen "everyday" so most of humanity is in this light
already, at least standing in it, meaning not having their neighborhoods
bombed. |
