We live in interesting times.
\nThe advances of technology bring us information around the world instantly.<\/p>\n

The past few years have brought financial challenges and upheavals the likes of which
\nmost people have never seen or experienced\u00a0before in their lifetimes.<\/p>\n

The middle east is going through radical changes.
\nTerrorist activity –\u00a0any type of violence against others\u00a0seems widespread.
\nPeople are going through severe hardships and our planet is calling out for care and conservation.<\/p>\n

Roy Eugene Davis asks,
\n“How do you live freely in a world being unduly influenced by negative news or unpleasant circumstances?”<\/p>\n

He suggests:
\n1) Observe current events with dispassionate objectivity.\u00a0 Regardless of what occurs, know that an intelligently directed Power is certain to eventually produce ideal conditions for everyone.\u00a0 You can nurture the collective consciousness of the planet with your optimistic thinking, spiritual awareness and constructive actions.<\/p>\n

2) Adhere to a wisely chosen, holistic lifestyle.\u00a0 Be mentally peaceful and emotionally stable.\u00a0 Acknowledge the innate, divine nature of everyone while being self-reliantly self-determined.\u00a0 Be responsible for your personal circumstances and improve your understanding of your true, spiritual nature and relationship with the Infinite.<\/p>\n

Be thankful that you have the invincible power within you to prevail.<\/p>\n

Like the Jaguar, be courageous and determined.
\nKnow there is a Higher Power and that we are one.<\/p>\n

blessings,
