You say you want peace. If you're serious, then quit fighting.

• Quit fighting with others to get your way, or keep them from getting theirs.
• Quit fighting with the political system and those who want to use it to move your country one way or another.
• Quit fighting with your business, your job, your customers, your banker, or anyone else with whom you don't see eye-to-eye.
• Quit fighting with your life over what it is or is not.

Yesterday I heard someone say they wanted world peace. That sure would be great. But then I thought, wouldn't it be nice to have peace a little closer to home -- like in all the other aspects of our lives? Don't we want peace there, too? Is world peace enough if we can't have it in our lives, too?

After all, there are a whole lot of things that disturb our peace a lot more than the fighting that's carried on in international affairs.

These turbulent times are coming for a reason. They precede the great lifting up of Ascension, a cosmic shift in perspective and possibility beyond our wildest imagination.

In order to nudge human history in a new direction, some must challenge the entrenched beliefs and existing ways to unlock stuck energies that keep bringing us more of the same.

Did you ever feel fragmented or compartmentalized, like you had to pick and choose which parts of you to be shown to the world? If so, don't despair.

That's the normal state of human affairs.

We so much want to be accepted or gain some benefit (e.g., profit) from our relations with others that many of our encounters break down into one of two categories:

• we try to show them what they want to see, or
• we try to entice them to give us what we want.

Either way, rarely do we let our hair down and show ourselves in our entirety, warts and all.

You have come here many times. And during those visits, you have become so wrapped up in the dramas created for you to experience that you have perhaps forgotten who you really are and what you are about.

Even so, within those lives you have undertaken many threads of experience to examine certain issues from different sides, and in the process add your unique imprint on the collective consciousness of mankind.
