The Dark Dot

Why do I always suggest focusing on the positive? Because focusing on the negative is always self-destructive.

Our minds have a strong lean towards focusing on the negative. Why? Because mind's job is to protect us from danger; to insure our survival. Consequently it is always looking for problems.

By being completely positive, we transcend the mind.

A teacher was lecturing to his class about the mind's negativity. He hung a large sheet of white paper on the wall. In the center of the paper, he made a small dark dot with a pencil.

Then he asked his students what they saw. Unanimously the response was that they saw a small dark dot.

The teacher said, "Yes, but none of you saw the vast expanse of white paper. That is the point of my lecture."

THERE IS NO SEPARATION!

We are all One and all in this together. What affects one facet of Life affects all Life. Divine Opportunities presented to one Human Being are available to ALL, regardless of how oblivious a person may be of those opportunities.

We are living in a new paradigm. From outer appearances it looks like the horrific things taking place on Earth are involving the masses of Humanity, but that is an illusion. In Truth, the terrible things we perceive through the media involve a mere fraction of the six billion souls evolving on this planet. The vast majority of people around the world are loving people who are striving to live positive lives.

The collective consciousness of Humanity has reached a critical mass of compassion for all Life on this planet. Every Human Being is Divine, regardless of how far his or her behavior patterns may be from reflecting that Truth. This is a vitally important realization in Humanity's healing process.

Our thoughts and feelings are creative, and whatever we focus our attention on, we empower and bring into form. If we are constantly thinking and talking about the negative behavior patterns people are participating in or the things we do not like about the people themselves, we simply add our energy and power to the very things we dislike. This is true whether we are talking about our loved ones, or our governmental officials and world leaders. Actually, the more powerful and influential a person is, the more crucial it is for us to empower their Divine Potential instead of the mistakes they are making.

We can empower and energize every soul's Divine Potential by focusing our attention on the Divinity pulsating in their heart and by asking their I AM Presence to take control of their thoughts, words, actions and feelings. Every person's I AM Presence will guide him or her to respond and behave in ways that reflect only the highest good for all concerned.

This may seem like a very simple antidote for the atrocities people are inflicting on each other throughout the world, but it is one of the most powerful things we can do to hasten Humanity's awakening.

Those of us who have awakened from that nightmare and remember that we are ALL One have the responsibility of being our brothers' and sisters' keepers until they can awaken to that Divine Truth themselves. To begin the process, we need to open our hearts to every evolving soul on Earth. This is not always easy, but it is a necessary step in becoming an Instrument of God. Remember, the most powerful awakening force in the Universe is the power of God's Love flowing through your sacred Heart Flame into the Heart Flame of another Human Being.

In order to shift our feelings from anger and disappointment to love and understanding, we need to contemplate the bigger picture. We must remember that everyone is doing the best they can according to their understanding and belief systems. This is true regardless of whether or not we think they should know better or whether it is obvious to everyone else in the world that what the person is doing is wrong. If the person fully understood the principle of the Oneness of all Life and the ramifications of their negative actions in the face of that fundamental Law, they would not behave in the negative manner in which they are behaving. It is just that simple.

When we grasp the Truth that everyone is doing the best they can, our thinking changes. We no longer look at people as bad or evil. Rather, we look at them as we would unaware children who are unable to comprehend the results of their behavior. Sometimes children do terrible things without any idea of what the end result of their actions will be, but instead of hating them and wishing them harm, we embrace them and strive to teach them a better way through love and patience.

More and more people are awakening and remembering who they are and why they are here. When people awaken and their consciousness is raised up, they begin to "see with new eyes and hear with new ears." This phenomenon has the effect of allowing people to clearly perceive the Divine Truth that ALL Life is interconnected, interrelated and interdependent. Then people know THERE IS NO US AND THEM; we are ALL One.

When this Truth resonates in the deepest recesses of our hearts, the validity of war becomes impossible to reconcile, and the distorted concept of poverty, greed, corruption, violence, abuse of power, oppression, hatred, selfishness, prejudice, pollution, disease, ignorance or any other reflection of our belief in separation becomes impossible to accept. The important thing is for each of us to truly listen to our I AM Presence and to respond to our inner guidance with trust, confidence, enthusiasm and gratitude.
