I think I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past

HOW I GET TO WHERE I’M GOING

When we desire to search ourselves, the raw energetic waves of compassion and logic come together. They ignite within, becoming tangled and intertwined. These separate fluid streams function on their own, but struggle to be whole. Finally they carve, then gently sift through the bursting sadness and anger in our disconnectedness and our search for answers. The process does not untangle, rather it begins to meld, crystallizing its own narrow pathway. Revealed for each of us is a new being. This is our own heart, soul and mind together. It is our human and divine spirits as one.

In that state is the communication center between the Universal Creator and his/her children. It is in this light and it’s warmth, that we welcome calm and invite wisdom. And it is only in this space that that Spirit of Truth has opportunity. If we listen, we come to realize who and what we are. We are fused to see, hear and feel direction clearly. We become aware that our voice, even our whisper is stronger and more powerful than any weapon. Here is indescribable peace and renewal, not providing all answers, rather giving a sense of well being and rest. We are awakened by truth because it is here that love and nonviolence is born. As we travel back out that crystal path into uncertainty, we humbly carry out all that we’ve realized. We bring our little piece of truth to the puzzle; our light into a troubled world.

We learn with varying issues of life, this is a place we must travel to often to make peace happen and match up our human and spiritual gifts and creativity. We are the gift of humanity, it’s kindness and nonviolent action lived; habituating our divine purpose. This is enlightenment, the path leading to one creed, which is justice, humility and mercy. Our world is better when over and over again each of us is transformed by walking our path, seeking, asking and finding our truth and not just another opinion.

Well - to quote just a few:

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always." --- Mahatma Gandhi

"Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected." --- Mahatma Gandhi

It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to be friends to the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business. --- Mahatma Gandhi

"Blaming the wolf would not help the sheep much. The sheep must learn not to fall into the clutches of the wolf." --- Mahatma Gandhi

"The spirit of democracy cannot be established in the midst of terrorism, (of heart, mind or fist) whether governmental or popular." --- Mahatma Gandhi

“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within." --- Mahatma Gandhi

“Peace will not come out of a clash of arms, but out of justice lived, and done, by unarmed nations in the face of odds."Tit for tat" is the law of the brute of unregenerate man.”
--- Mahatma Gandhi

"The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts – that is where the battle should be fought." --- Mahatma Gandhi

"The force (satigraha/truthforce or soulforce) generated by nonviolence is infinitely greater than the force of all the arms created by man's ingenuity." --- Mahatma Gandhi

"What you do is of little significance, but it is very important that you do it."
--- Mahatma Gandhi

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." --- Mahatma Gandhi

"Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest."
--- Mahatma Gandhi
