After checking my email I looked on the web for what was making headlines and found "U.S. Muslims still unaccepted in US.". When I clicked the headline it stated that Americans seem to be more violent and unaccepting of these people than they were before Osama was killed. One must stop and ask, why? Why would more Americans now be more upset about Muslims than they were before the death of Osama?
Ignorance and unacceptance is the leading cause to separation. Of course many can't and don't want to understand the Muslims ways, but what they failed to see is that Osama was killing these Muslims. They feared Osama as much as many Americans did. But rather than uniting in a single cause, love, we are divided out of our own fears.
Why do some many Americans fear people different than them? I mean the Native Americans were different and look what happened to them. The only reason people are more tolerant of Jews is because what happened to them in WWII, but do we have true tolerance for them? I mean do you really love them just the way they are, or do you still wish you could convert them? Or do you just feel sorry for them because of what they endured while in Germany? What if more Muslims where killed and put into camps like that, would that make you feel better in loving these people?
Question yourself why you feel that the Muslims deserve to be hated and you'll quickly learn that these are things that you hate about yourself. They are still your brother, they are still a part of God, no one is separated from that very fact. But it is only your perceptions that divide you further into the darkness of your soul. Believing that another can or does attack you is your defense system in staying the way you are rather than changing yourself.
"Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within." ACIM God loves them as much as He loves you. This cannot be any different than the Christian message love others as you have loved me.
The reason for the fear of the Muslims lies in what you do to them, not what they have done to you. That's why the fear has increased in Americans and why they are so upset, they killed someone and were proud of it and now they know that Karma is REAL. They are creating what they desire and wish to experience. If this were not true, then why do you keep doing it? Why can't you love them?
When you stop dreaming this dream of hatred the Holy Spirit is there to help guide you into the light. But how many of you allow this Holy Spirit to be your guide? Many of you won't because you are so angry and enjoy being angry that you'll continue to divide yourselves more and more each and every day in order to prove that you were right. How does killing anyone make you right? How does killing make anything right? If it did history would not have to repeat itself, but it does. The only thing you are learning is how you continue to live in fear and that killing anyone is never the solution.
As long as you live in fear you are not living in love. You give yourself glimpses of it, but even then it's not real love, it's pretend love. How do I know? Because you love only what and who as long as it is doing what you want it to do! It is being what you want it to be! They are approving of you the way you want them to be! How many of you love your parents for "ALL" that they do and have been for you? How many of you say that you do but only turn around to speak ill at your parents or parent so much that you have everyone else on your side defending or protecting you now? YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE, that's pretend love.
I understand how difficult it is to do what I am writing about today, but I also understand the blessing and the joy of freedom. I am no longer bound by the illusion of separation but see us as all ONE. It will be because I see this some of you will be even fearful of me. This is not my business in how you perceive me, but rather know the truth that all is love; and that even in the midst of a storm I am practicing and learning to be more peaceful and more loving, not towards anything but rather in something. Instead of feeling like I need to change what is happening, I am learning to accept it for the deeper lesson, love and life it is offering me. It's always offering me more clues about how I am seeing my world.
It is only when we stop trying to change everything and everyone in it that our true creative flow opens up and we are able to work together as a unit in healing this planet. We work with Mother Nature instead of against her, we work with the animals instead of dominating them, we work with the people in our communities rather than stealing from them. And when we find someone that has robbed us we take responsibility for it by seeing how we did not help this person in the first place.
You see there is a story that I wrote in "The Emotional Nature of Man and Spirit, the Necessary Union for a Holistic Government", that talks about how when the white man came over and took food from the Native Americans the Indians got together and saw their brother in need, they gave them food so that the White Man wouldn't have to steal it. They knew that mother nature was abundant, but they knew this man was his unknown brother.
Many of you would say, "Yes and look at what happened to them because they did that." Well which is it? Are you more afraid of, that the debt has to be fulfilled now and you're in that race of people that believe that killing off others is the solution, or are you more afraid that if I give of myself I will surely die?
Trust me, the Native Americans were evolved and you only think they don't exist but they do. No matter your reason for killing them, God had a bigger and better plan for them. We all have a time to go, but through this transition we are better able to understand why we feel the way we do when it occurs. What I mean is ask yourself the question why do I hate my mom, why do I not love her like God? It is here you will find what you are resisting without having to cause more harm and destruction. Are you an angry person, then be angry, are you a fighter, than be a fighter.....all of these things help you to find yourself, just as the Muslims are helping you to find yourself.
Love your brother as you love God and you'll see that harmony is real.
Love, Velvete
