Savior: Not One But Many?


After reading this, some may say I'm playing devil's advocate. I like to think of it as helping someone tune into their intuition, along with common sense, to allow one to think and not just blindly follow. 

This blog is also due to being reminded today on what my original guide told me twenty five years ago: that not one messiah would be returning but many. Yet, I continually view posts from people, including those that say they are enlightened, that only one savior will return to save the world. 

Based on all my teachings, I find this strange. 

Here's why. My original soul, with its many past lifetimes, came back to have a peaceful existence (so I heard), yet had anything but that. It made me wonder why. Why so many scenarios of pain and hurt during my life? To make me a better person? Hate? Jealousy? To teach me a lesson? To awaken a new life: as in here we go again, you better wake up and get out here with us as all hell is breaking lose? 

After all, if I went through what I did, what would be done to any "chosen" messiah?

Sure, from a distance the planet looks peaceful and beautiful, but it is far from that and always has been. Was it a moment of weakness that my original soul relented under pressure and returned? After all, the planet can have it's moments too, not everything is due to the "human species" on it.

That got me thinking many times before today that I believe more and more of what I was told back then: no one messiah is coming back to save anyone. Knowing what I've been through, and still see on this planet, he/she would have to be masochistic to do such a thing: seriously masochistic and/or narcissistic! Look around this planet and ask yourself: would you consciously do that without anyone thinking you were insane?

Think about it! 

Oh yes, don't forget, there are also those who would just as soon shoot you too. There are way too many gun crazy people on this planet. This is not a judgment ... it's a fact.

Besides, how would they know that you are who you say you are? Those would be the ones who would also be yelling at you to get off your ego pedestal ... or possibly be jealous that it's you and not them. Ridiculous! They are blind to the real truth of the torment and suffering many have experienced, including me, to be awakened and aware. 

Ignorance is not bliss. 

So, it sounds logical to get over those past ideas and move on and learn to save ourselves as we've been doing since the beginning of time. Could that be the real lesson we are here to learn ... as well as to stop living in the past?
 

Hmmm ... maybe that's the real clue to any savior returning ... it's us. That's why we don't know the timing of "the arrival" because the arrival time is within each individual's awareness. Mass worldwide awakenings in order to get it. Yet, we still don't get it. Is the timing still off?

Besides, why would a parent put one child above others ... over and over again? Do you do that to your children? Do your parents do that? In all this worldly wisdom, why would any Creator Parent do that? 

Maybe our Creator does know and maybe we're being told that WE are already here. That the mysteries of life are being revealed but we're too busy looking at a puzzle piece and not the full puzzle. 

What's in your soul? 


Matthew 24:36

 “But about that day and hour no one knows,

neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, 

but only the Father."

Allowing Doesn't Mean Putting Up With!!


Over 25 years ago a family member told me that my mental ability was years ahead of my time, yet my guide informed her that, actually, she (and others like her) are years behind. No judgment, he was just stating a fact. 

Anyway, with the numerous "world enlightenment teachers" out there, since then, many are understanding this mind ability more, along with compassion, but some still having gotten it. 

This made me ask, why could that be? I haven't stopped learning this ability, I do what I can to keep advancing, why the delays in so many not getting it? 

Today, I believe I finally reconciled to the fact that some collective, emotional energy deliberately holds us back from advancing further. This keeps this planet in density, which becomes an anchor against enlightenment. 

I've accepted that it is for many reasons but, mainly, I feel it's due to fear and not just ignorance or lack of soul/mind awareness. I learned that this fear may be unconsciously registering in some current minds from memories in their soul ... from the hurt of past universal and dimensional wars ... some unseen factor that subconsciously reminds them ... remember when? 

How can anyone fault them for not wanting any more of the same, yet they still haven't gotten the teachings. They haven't understood that we draw to us what we fear ... we fear pain ... we fear hurt ... we fear violence ... we fear war ... we fear so many things and we can draw it all because of it. Not just because of what we fear but what others fear too. 

Even Jesus said, to a number of beings in an All Call, (in a meditation I had when I was first awakening) "relinquish your fears or you'll be owned by them." I have the full All Call in my true story book called, Great Flame Within. 

To continue, how do we get over the fear? How do we get over this block in the road of our journey? How do we help others remove their fears? Can we or do we want to?

Metaphysical teachers tell us to "allow" others their journey. However, if by doing so it constantly hampers our own journey, when does allowing become "putting up with," because of another's journey? When do we realize by doing this that we allow them to take away our power? A teacher once told me, many years ago: allowing doesn't mean putting up with!

This not "putting up with" reminds me of two experiences during my life that tough love was utilized in order to remove fear. 

One: my oldest daughter feared swimming when she was a child. We lived in a state that is surrounded by water and has many lakes and swimming pools. I suddenly realized one day that I could not continue to allow her fear because it could have led to her death by drowning. I got tough on her and she learned to swim. She got over her fear and became a good swimmer. 

Two: my youngest daughter has a step- son that feared roller coasters. As a child they placated it but when he became a teen he was forced to ride one. Afterwards, he was so excited he wanted to do it again and again. 

In both cases, tough love pushed someone beyond their limited thinking based on another's level of awareness. This made me think about the tough love that could be in force today, for instance, with psychic attacks. To get us over our fear? To toughen us up? To push us at a higher mental awareness? To help us understand compassion? 

Possibly. 

For instance, I'll use this as an example: suppose God was disappointed with our laid back allowance and decided we were allowing more then we should be ... sitting back on our lazy behinds, so to speak, saying: "be allowing" or "let others do it." What if this led to all hell breaking loose? In this "scenario" a war ensued to force people out of their fear or apathy. Maybe our Creator got tired of "putting up with" and decided not to "allow" the density anymore; turning the proverbial back on the children of the universe until we figured it out for ourselves ... fought it out among us. 

After all, it's been over twenty-five years that the message was given me that some are "behind the times." It's been thousands of years of warring in the universe, which means the "children" still haven't gotten it. Sad.  

How would God/Goddess/Universe employ tough love to get people to move on ... to get it? I wonder.

You see, it's not difficult for me to believe that our Creator could apply the principle of tough love, as others have learned to do during their life. Why? Because the teacher who told me that "allowing doesn't mean putting up with," in my meditation many, many years ago, was the Creator. 

Maybe we are all still allowing too much of putting up with?

My Cat House Days


In the early 90's, I had three outdoor cats that each had a litter. Even before then, my family and friends called me the cat lady or we were jokingly called the cat houseThese litters just reinforced their feelings. 

I even had someone "dump" off three black kittens one night that I had to find homes for. Seriously! Why would anyone do that? Just because I already has a gazillion cats, what's three more?

However, no big deal, as soon as they were of age we gave them all away to nice homes. Some people, thankfully, took two home, in order to keep each other company. 

Thank goodness my youngest was working at Continental Airlines and all she did was post a note on their employee bulletin board ... "free kitties to good homes."

I discovered, from listening to those who came by to get a kitty, that cats were favorable for apartment dwellers, so I never had a problem downsizing the kitty population. 

Those were some crazy times and I would not want to do it again. At least, not in this lifetime. There was a lot of work involved to make sure they were well cared for before leaving to a new home. 

The thing I learned most from this experience, don't have pets just for the sake of having them, especially if you cannot afford their care. Also, get them spayed or neutered as early as possible as one can lead to many and many is way too much ... based on personal experience.

I feel very strongly about not having pets if one cannot take care of them properly ... mentally, physically and financially. Pets are not just to teach one's children (or us) to be responsible and to have something more to think of other then themselves; pets deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. 

Because of this, I choose not to have anymore pets. I've had my share, throughout my life, and I like not having this responsibility anymore. 

Yet, for several years now, I periodically get nagging messages off the universe about having a pet, so I thought I would share my feelings of why I do not want any. The attached picture will show everyone why I feel I've done my share of pet raising.

Please don't misunderstand, I love animals, but I like my freedom more. I like being able to go when I want without worry about pets as some of my family and friends do. What a relief to not have that burden anymore. Maybe that's why some suggest that I have a pet ... they miss their freedom or they're secretly jealous of mine. 

Needless to say, don't have pets because someone puts pressure on you to do so ... including those "persistent thoughts off the universe" ... unless "they" plan on seeing to your well being so you can see to the animal's well being. 

Yes, there are also those thoughts in the universe which I have taught in my blogs and videos ... subjective thoughts that can influence our thinking, too, especially if we don't know what's going on ... innocence is not always bliss. 

Think about it. We have breeders who sell pets. The more breeders that are producing, will make for more animals to sell. Very seldom are they given away, because someone has to buy them for breeders to make money. Anyone can be influenced by those thoughts in order to keep people employed or fed. 

See?

I don't have a big problem with anyone making money, but I lost a job once and then lost a pet afterwards because I had no money to give it the proper care that was needed. 

Live and learn. 

We need to think ahead and not get caught up in a hasty moment that can create more issues for pet and/or pet owners. We may want to consider less breeders and less animals. 

Why?

People that work at animal shelters, that euthanize animals every day, would understand this. I'm sure they would be happy to see their jobs disappear because we have finally stopped the insanity of pet overpopulation

Having an epiphany moment: Maybe if we stop overpopulation in all species, including humans, we wouldn't have other forms of specie elimination ... wars, disease, or famine. Don't sense that happening anytime soon either. 

Anyway, that's my thought I'm putting into the universe. No more pets for me! No more cat houses! I'm done with that experience! More power to others who want to, however I don't. Hopefully, now I will get those pesky thoughts out of my mind.

Or ... maybe I just stir up some "bet me" trouble. ;-)

Disease and Death: Unnatural or Natural Order?

I just found out, at my aunt's funeral (who recently died from complications of Alzheimer), that my cousin's sister couldn't make it as she has been diagnose with Lou Gehrig Disease. To say I was shocked upon hearing would be an understatement. The disease and diagnosis came out of the blue and no one else in the family has it. The two sisters are the only siblings and youngest had herself checked out and does not carry the gene. How does this genetic illness/sickness/death thing work? The ones that have something thrown at them, seemingly out of the blue, that may even have doctors perplexed.

One of those genetic mysteries of life, who will carry what gene?

Was that gene always there?

How or why did it decide to finally show up now instead of earlier or later?

My mom was the only one to get breast cancer in her family and my dad was the only one to get leukemia in his - that I know of. Alzheimer's was prevalent on dad's side but it bypass him. My oldest daughter has a couple of medical conditions that no one has ever had and she's similar in looks to me. It escaped me and caught up with her, I suppose. As she said, she just got cut a raw deal but keeps on keeping on.

As you can see, this got me questioning things like this again today. Could it possibly be a deliberate selective (bias) order and maybe not always a natural order involved - or is bias natural? If so, who points the finger and says: you get this and you go now, whether it be here, there or any dimension? Who decides? Is it the individual's genetic soul from the past, the genetic life of the now, or a combination of both along with current environment?

Does "someone" selectively come along, takes those thoughts of sickness off of one, (in order to heal that particular person) and puts the illness on another - in order to "maintain balance" in the universe? Heartlessly and apathetically stating: your number is up, oh well!

Or is it just needing people to be sick in order for other people to survive - to provide nourishment and protection for others? More balance? More cause and effect?

Or is the cause and effect a real and serious issue with the medical realm: non-disclosure of pertinent data of someone screwing up and not owing up to it?

Is it all a natural order of life or something deeper in determining whose time is up and why? Does someone really point fingers? If so, who points - who makes the decisions? Who or what decides to select whom to keep order and could it be bias in its selection? We are advised that there are no "accidents" in the universe. Hmmm...

In my training, I've learned that death to us (physical) is a continued life because we still remember who we are, and life elsewhere can be terminated into an new incarnation; a form of death because we forget. So what's the big deal? Life goes on. Correct?

My concern with this selective bias, if any, is: will only the strong survive or will we genetically mutate ourselves into extinction through some sort of "superior-minded" selection.

Is disease and death becoming an unnatural, instead of a natural, order in the universe, or has it always been this way?

I know, I know ... lots of questions. I've always been a questioner.

When I was younger, I use to say: God only knows and He's not talking.

Makes me wonder why that would be.

Makes me wonder about a lot of things.

How about you?

Profile Me Aware!


I'm a women who has been through a lot in life. I have dealt with poor areas of living, called derogatory names, dealt with numerous sexual harassments, discrimination, theft, and physical abuse through psychic attacks. 

This has created an intuitive ability, along with programming, that has helped me, and I hope continues to help me, understand warning signs which includes heightened senses to protect me. To do less, in many troubled times and areas, would be folly on my part. 

So please forgive me if I sense I need to lock my doors, clutch my purse or belongings closer to me, as well as utilizing what I've learned to, hopefully, stay away from "evil" areas. 

Yes, there are those that will "feel" with bigotry and hate, however my feelings stem from my intuition and life's programming and not racial, gender or culture profiling. It is no different then me turning off the water to my house, among other things, before going on vacation. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 

My feelings are also based on sensing the intent of another's heart ... along with my need to survive. These feelings didn't come from nothing ... they came from something. Live and learn. 

Please remember that "profiling" was created from past and current fears induced into mankind and due to the many circumstances that allowed it. It's our way of learning to live without too much heartache. Keep this in mind when wanting to play any profiling card. 

If we don't want profiling then change out the programming, however  reprogramming of any kind takes time and the allowance of everyone ... including our ancestors who have crossed over and are still "influencing" family. 

So does earning trust in people. I use to trust people in my innocent years, but life had shown me the err of that decision due to dishonesty and corruption I've experienced. Innocence is not always bliss. 

In the meantime, don't expect me to not do what my instincts tells me to do. The life that is saved could be my own. I didn't get as far as I have in this life by staying stupid and gullible. Call that whatever you want. 

Do I blame?

Do I demand people owe me a living because of my past?

No! I decided to utilize and share my knowledge instead of lamenting over my circumstances. 

Profile me aware!

Energy Vampires: Saving Yourself


There is a really big difference in giving to someone or being taken from someone. We don't mind giving, at times, but we never like being taken in anything. 

Constant demands from another can be a serious energy drainer ... commonly called Energy VampiresTheir repetitive patterns are the cause, which can be extremely debilitating; not just to those around them, but also themselves, especially when they can't see they are their own worse enemy. 

They can't see the cause, because they are the cause ... they can't admit it to themselves. Everyone else is wrong and they are always right. They allow no room for conversation, to input any creative suggestions, in order to help either party to evolve beyond this negative rut.

A stalemate is created or someone drowns in the whirlpool of negative emotions. 

My life's experiences have me constantly asking myself, wouldn't it be nice to know another's soul, and the programming they have within it, before getting involved? Only if nothing less then to say: I don't have the strength to take you on. It seems it would solve a lot of issues. 

I'm not saying we shouldn't ever help; throw out a "life saver" to anyone we feel needs assistance in something, but don't let them pull us in and under. 

Extending a hand often, to the point it becomes expected, does not allow anyone to become self-sufficient. Knowing when to let go is vital. When I sense someone is not willing to grow, I let go. They're not helping, why should I? 

Yes, sad to say, sometimes one has to be cruel in order to be kind. 

Of course, if someone continues to stay in an energy draining relationship, then they should consider no blaming or whining about it. After all, they are allowing it. We always have choices. 

We need to own up to those choices. Even if that means owning up to the fact that we may be using this person, that we blame for our miseries, for our personal gain ... whatever that entails. 

I speak from personal experience. I had to owe up to my personal experiences and face up to the choices I've made, so I know how it feels. 

To continue, please keep in mind, that those who have any type of user/abuser mentality, keeping someone emotionally locked into their energy draining schemes, may not hesitate in letting go of someone when they no longer serve their purpose. Plop! You're dropped in a second! Some are not so lucky to be dropped, because some may not escape the harshest of abusive scenarios ... death. 

Wouldn't it be best to let go, to move on? Sometimes quitting is just as important as not quitting. Use common sense. Listen to your family and friends. Your guides may be using them to get through to you. Be kind to yourself and love yourself.

After all, the life you save could be your own.

Emotional Dust Storms?


The picture below doesn't show you the small mountain and other houses that are concealed because of the dust storm. Take a look. Do you see anything?

When wanting truth, our court system will go by what they "see with their eyes;" what we have as actual facts. The facts are there are several houses in this picture with two people. There is a small area of flat land and a dust storm. That's it! Everything else, unless can be proven "without a doubt," will become inadmissible in our United States court of law.

Evidence that is within the dust storm is like our emotions; we can speculate until the end of time, but do we know without a doubt what is there? Do we "see" anything else? Would a court care about how we "feel?" No, because these feelings are subjective and can raise a dust storm of concealment and falsity in their own rights.

They don't care about something that is there that cannot be seen as facts. They don't care about supposed hidden houses or hidden mountains. They don't even care about empathy and how we feel things may be there. Our country is not trained to understand more then what is currently allowed within our judicial system ... tangible facts.

Why? Because I have seen where even "psychics" can be influenced by subjective thought. I too have to be extremely careful while dealing with emotions, especially during a dust storm of controversy. Which is why I am perplexed with all the facts presented, that people still get caught up in said dust storm of subjection.

Take a look at the picture again. Do you sense anything in the dust storm that I mentioned above?

What if I told you that what I wrote (twice) was a subjective thought to have you believe something that's not true. Because it could be done ... because you wanted to believe it? After all, why would I lie to you?

Understand? You see how easy this can be done? "Dust storms" can crucify people ... similar to the picture below.

Know the facts and don't become part of the emotions (dust storms) of propaganda or subjective thought. If at all possible, wait until the dust settles.

New Age "Looking Within"? Not Always...


I have deliberated on this New Age expression - "look within," or "the answers are within," referring to our souls and enlightenment. Not really! Not true! 

It depends on the soul and what it has within it. Not all souls are "full" of age and wisdom to help them, just as children need parents and teachers for guidance, so will those seeking a higher awareness ... any higher awareness. 

If it's not "within" them, then how will they know they're supposed to be seeking ... whatever? They will still be guided by what's in their soul and outer influences. 

Sure, we can share our wisdom but we should not be angry because they don't chose our path ... whatever that path is ... whether it be farming, teaching, media, engineering, community service, dietitian, electronics, ranching, or saving the world in whatever direction "they" are being called to do. 

Keep putting out your words and appreciate those that jump on your bandwagon and release the others with love. One day your words will fall on the ears of those that are interested and they will allow you to show them what they don't have within but are finally wishing to learn.

In the meantime .... let your soul shine on and look everywhere for wisdom ... it's not always within.

Don't Tread On Me....


Let me begin with a definition (below) of what I was told this morning while meditating, regarding "someone's" opinion of me that is so far from the truth it's ridiculous. I would have normally ignored this statement but it's not the first time "hearing" it, so I decided to investigate further. 

Definition: Passive-aggressive behavior is behavior that expresses aggression in an indirect, passive way. This includes procrastination, hostile jokes (though jokes in general are recognized as a method of expressing veiled hostility), stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.

I am truly amazed at those who misconstrue my kindness and caring attitude as a sign of weakness or a sign of being passive aggressive. Anyone who knows, truly knows my life, will know this is far from the truth. 

I didn't get through this life, with all the many things I've been through, by being a pushover. Anyone who cannot understand this hasn't spent the time getting to know me ... that is their error. Those that do know me, knows better. 

Yes, I may allow people to push me to a certain extent before pushing back. I cannot help it that they didn't take the time to understand who I am before doing so, and that, just possibly, instead of being passive aggressive, I'm only giving them enough rope to hang themselves. 

When they feel this constriction - they should always remember - they allowed it. 

Under the above aforementioned circumstances, might one then ask if a rattlesnake should be considered passive aggressive? Absolutely not! No more then any other doing what is considered an action of survival after warnings. It does what its instinct tells it to do for said survival. 

Most know that the rattle is there for a reason. If we misconstrue the rattle (e.g., if we don't take the time to know another), is it the snake's fault? It watches us before striking. It warns us before striking. Did we allow it to strike anyway? Was it being kind enough just to observe and wait before striking? Why did it need to strike?

When we don't know something ourselves, we are normally guided by others who do. Instinct and intuition can also be utilized. Why aren't they? Has the density of our planet, our minds, become such that we block ourselves from any warning signs? 

Or, have we become careless due to not caring? Allowing the strike to occur?

Yes, we can ignore the signs but we shouldn't blame another for doing what comes naturally within all of us. 

Don't tread on me...

A Grateful Testimony


I have testimonies on my website at: http://atomarane.wix.com/idps#!testimonials but thought I'd share this one (below) here on my blog, which I just received.

~~~~~ 
Dear Charlene,

I just wanted to thank you again for the "dead on" reading I had with you this week. I really needed some insight and guidance in a personal matter. You and your guides gave me the validation, and help I so desperately needed, and made me feel much better.

I am always astonished at your amazing abilities, and your connection with your guides.

I also want to thank you again for helping me last year, with a deceased relative, who, for lack of a better word, was terrorizing me, and was making my life miserable, with his intrusiveness. Thank you and your guides, and the others who helped to clear my energy, as well as myself of this spirit, and for returning my home to the once peaceful place it had been.

You have amazing gifts and abilities, and I really appreciate all of your help.

Best Wishes,
D.B.
~~~~~

Just for the record, not always will there be an immediate release from an attacker due to it possibly being a "physical" presence inciting the attacks and not just a spirit. Some situations can be drawn out, for many reasons (including prior life agreements), which is why I decided to teach instead of just doing everything for everyone.

I made this decision to teach, a long time ago, because of a quote I have that says: "give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."

I would also like to add that healing comes with understanding and everyone working together. I've learned that the answer to another's question could be no even when a yes is wanted. Yet, I will do my best to see why the no was presented and explain that as well.

At the day's end, a grateful testimony keeps us all knowing we're on the right track.

BLAME


"Blame is giving your power away to another. If you want to empower yourself, you must not blame, but think of what you allowed, through the choices you are making, and how you can improve your situation."
 
This is what two of my first spirit guides, Danielle and Boyaed, taught many years ago.
 
Apparently, this subject is still being taught, via other teachers, because I read this quote this morning and thought, hmmm - the message is still getting out there. 

~~~~~~~~~~

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something, by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy. " ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

~~~~~~~~~~

When I mentioned above that not blaming is still being taught, it made me wonder why, after over 25 years (when I was first taught this), that it still needs to be taught today? I feel I have said this statement, among many things repeatedly, to the point of sounding like a broken recording. Then I remembered the many other things that are being reiterated today ... including the Golden Rule.

I know there will be those who will think there are times that circumstances are not in their control. I will have to agree with them, as I have, many times, stated there are exceptions to every rule. 

We, as adults, count on those of knowing to lead us on the right path, yet we know this isn't always the case due to our accepting that they know more then we. It is the same thing with children counting on parents for the same reason. They know best ... or do they?

Yet, this, believe it or not, is still giving our power away to a "higher" source. It is no different then when we blame God for our miseries. We blame those of government, military, farmers, lawyers and even God, because we cannot look in that mirror and point at ourselves. 

Yes, we didn't know or no one told us. There are many excuses for the many things we attack. Why? Maybe it's because, deep down inside, we did allow it and we feel frustrated or hating the truth of this. 

It would be the same as babies being born into this world to parents who sexually or physically abuse them. They feel they are not to be blame, even if they did allow it before coming back into this new incarnation.
 
Too far fetch to understand? If you understand karma, I don't mean debt but cause and effect, one would wonder why anything seriously "bad" had to happen to anyone. 

Oh, that's right! As I mentioned above, because we still haven't gotten it! We still haven't understood about blame because we still haven't understood the principles of the Golden Rule.
 
Are we still needing to understand pain in order to appreciate not having it? What about all those past lives and our empathy for the pain from our past?

This leads me to wonder when are we going to get out of our Neanderthal way of thinking and get into our God-like thinking? It's not as if we haven't had many teachers teaching us how to remove pain as well as blame.

You see, as I mentioned above, we shouldn't even praise God for what He/She didn't do, no more then curse God for what we feel is wrong in our lives. This is still given up our power to another and as my teachers say, when I thank them for teaching me or helping me: thank yourself, for you allowed it.
 
That's why spiritual teachers (when we allow them on our path) direct us to "look within" and not without. That is the real reason for this statement; to look at ourselves when we have difficulties due to the choices we make. If I didn't put myself on this path to learn, what would I know today? I allowed this training, along with all that came with it. Yes, we can pat ourselves on the back for all the good; don't look outward for blaming the bad. 

The next stage of evolution is to stop the blaming and learn to do what you know in your heart is necessary to have a better life; not just for you but those in and around you. You may not be able to save the world but you can help yourself, first, and then reach out to help another, if you wish. 
 
Please feel free to ask a question or leave a comment. Wouldn't it be easier to say I see or I understand, then to throw hateful words around that only bring on more hate and blame? As you sow, so shall ye reap. 
 
Next time you want to blame something or someone, stop and ask yourself ... why did I allow this? 

Seriously! Try it! 

"Why did I allow this?"
 
Feeling the empowerment?
