Every day God flows through me as He does everyone; but it is only when we get desperate that we listen to what He is saying.

We are all desperate all the time. That is because the nature of the human ego is evil (mechanical).

Human evil is on the ascendancy these days. Just read the news.

We are an ancient race in danger of becoming extinct, and this has happened before.

Mother Earth is sending us signals that we are in peril, and like naughty children, we are defying Her.

What can be done when the enemy is within? Keep asking yourself that. You will find that there is nothing to do but admit that selfish interests rule the world, not spiritual principles.

To speak personally, I make time to sit alone without indulging my thoughts and feelings, which are seldom positive.

I breathe more slowly and let thoughts arise and dissipate, which they will.

Letting go of the mechanical self can only happen when we choose to do so.

In its place lies the Great Mystery in which our sins are forgiven and we know it and feel it.

We continue to repeat the process of confession and forgiveness.

Since humanity is one, we are also forgiving everyone else.

Peace is possible when we keep choosing it. The masses cannot escape; we do it one by one.
