Question/Comment: I feel very confused about all the hatred and violence in the world and wonder if we really are coming to the end of times. I don’t know whether to feel anger, hatred, compassion or fear?

Response: Could you feel compassion and reach for clear seeing? Anger, hatred, and fear are not useful for appropriate action. Which feeling do you prefer to have and which one leads you to the most appropriate action? Meeting hatred with hatred makes more hatred. Meeting violence with violence makes more violence. What do you want more of? Focus on that. If you want peace, focus on peace. Look for peace everywhere you can find it. Do you want more love and compassion in the world? Focus on love and compassion. Look for evidence of love and compassion.

It may be helpful to remember that you we are all one. We all emanate from the same source. We are all manifestations of energy. It is illusion that we are each separate individuals different and apart from other individuals. We share a common energy field and influence each other. Your thoughts influence others in an ever widening circle of rippling effects. Spread the thoughts and feelings you want the rest of the world to be influenced by.
