A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Paulus,
And as I'm recording this,
It was just about three days ago that war was declared.
Things change rapidly,
Of course,
But it's been very intense as following the news and what's going on,
And the amount of deaths that have occurred,
Etc.
,
That goes with war.
And of course,
I love peace,
And I love trying to see things work out without this kind of thing happening.
But at the same time,
I'm realizing that this separation between what we experience in our own lives,
And how the world expression is also affecting us,
And how we are affected by the status.
For me,
In here in Maui,
It's more than halfway around the world.
It's still one world,
And so we are still affected by everything going on.
And I think the thing that we can do is be very strong and centered in our own willingness to believe in the power of that inner connection to peace and love within.
That inner connection that we still can achieve by maintaining our belief in that inner strength and power of the good within.
And that's very important when we see the rest of the world being shaken,
As it has been,
By what's been happening.
And in these times when we see things such as this,
There's more of a,
I think,
More of a need for all of us that are aware of the strength of being able to meditate,
The strength of being able to believe,
The strength of that inner power of love and light to maintain itself,
Is very important,
Very important.
And I don't want to ever close my eyes up to what's going on in the world,
Because I do think it's important that we're aware of what's happening in the world.
But at the same time,
I think as light workers and people who believe in the power of love,
And people who meditate,
That we also have a responsibility to maintain that energy field.
It's been interesting,
You know,
As I watched this all unfolding,
Is how it's hard to even for me to stay silent about what's going on.
Because it's definitely,
I'm a person who loves peace,
And I hate to see war happening myself.
But the more I get drawn into watching what's going on,
The more I see myself beginning to lose my center,
Of peace and belief,
And that center within,
Connected to the higher energy.
So it's an interesting dance we have to do when we have to stay strong,
And we have to stay centered,
And we have to continue to believe and respond with the highest energy,
While still being aware of what is going on for the rest of the world.
And I think we need to send our energy and our love and our goodwill out more than ever when we see these things happening.
It's very difficult sometimes to do that,
Because there's a bombardment of news and other things happening that are energetically worldwide these days.
It's very,
Very difficult not to be aware.
And I think it's good to be aware,
But I think as we are aware,
We have to be even more aware,
More cognitive of the importance of our energy that we put out to the world.
So it's so valuable to be able to take the time to go within and to meditate.
Take the time to go within yourself,
You know,
Just to be able to clear out what you might have been taking in,
And to be able to find that inner peace,
That inner place of light,
That inner place of that infinite power of love that is there within you.
And not to feel at all guilty about feeling goodness and the power of that light and love.
To know that that's important to do,
That's important to maintain,
And that's important to share,
While still being conscious of what's going on.
And so I just wanted to add to that,
This fact of being able to breathe,
Being able to choose how we engage,
Is so very,
Very,
Very valuable right now.
And so I encourage all of you people who are very conscious and aware,
And who are light workers,
And people who believe in the power of love to go full force into that energy,
And to continue to hold that place of peace inside very strongly.
To be able to maintain that place within,
So that we can share in that energy field as well.
And I know that you can do this.
I know we've done this often.
I have to remind myself not to get drawn into this fray.
It's hard not to when you're watching the news and trying to be aware of not being drawn in.
But the reality is,
Does it help?
Does it really help or does it hinder as we do that?
So when it gets to the point where it's not helping,
And where it is hindering our state of mind and our beingness,
That's when we have to take a step back,
And really go within,
And be centered in the inner truth,
And that inner love,
And that inner peace,
And to hold that,
And maintain that,
And to be strong in that.
So that's what I encourage you to do,
My friends.
We are very,
Very valuable as light workers,
And ones who share in that love that is present there within.
And I wish you all the most peaceful,
Wonderful time of being able to be strong in that inner peace,
And that love,
And that light that you hold.
