Do you realise that as light hitting drops of water in the air creates rainbows, you’re seeing the light spectrum? You probably do but we think about them as rainbows not that we’re seeing what light looks like. A small tweak in thinking can make a big difference to the way you see the world.
Imagine the tweak from war to peace? One word. Millions of lives!
For people who are deeply connected to this earth a rainbow is something you can’t walk past. You appreciate the miracle you’re seeing so much they just stop you in your tracks. Cynics laugh, we laugh more often.
Most rainbow lovers I know also embrace the spiritual path, which means they tend to move their spiritual beliefs away from religion to a more inclusive approach that still includes a god force energy. I still believe in a loving God force, just not in a churchy way. Religion has been misused to kill too many people and still is.
It should be ‘oh you believe in a god, good, you’ll be peaceful, loving, and life affirming in their image.’ Not ‘oh crap what’s your excuse for killing?’ It says in our Bible ‘God is love’. I stopped there. I didn’t interpret it. It didn’t need doing. What it doesn’t say is ‘Thou shalt not kill (for exclusions see the Apocrypha).” I stick with the word.
As you may imagine, finding a way that put me in direct contact with God bypassing any interpreters has worked for me. I know what I’m supposed to do and be in life, I know He’s watching, and I act accordingly. I just keep taking steps towards being a good person to be around, however…
Wanting to bang politicians heads together is okay isn’t it? Wanting to scream ‘you think war is a good idea you morons’ to anyone starting a war is reasonable isn’t it? ‘Thousands of years of history teaches us that war never achieved anything lasting, now children are dying again and you still feel justified in continuing on this path? How exactly does that work?’
Probably pointless. I’m also not sure that when you’re leading by example you aren’t being categorised as a softie who doesn’t understand the way the real world works. Well I do and I don’t like it! On the other hand I don’t understand how hurting others works and I’m grateful for it.
Context
In seeing myself as human I accept that’s what I am. I’ve taken a lot of pressure off myself and overcome a childhood that quite literally demanded perfection.
If someone tells me I’m not good enough now, and a sincere apology won’t cut it, I just say something along the lines of: ‘If I were an Angel I’d have wings and as there’s no room in this t-shirt clearly I’m not. I’m human I make mistakes, if you can’t forgive me then best you go away. I will undoubtedly fall flat on my human face again at some point.’
That’s just reality, and it reminds us that we have no right to expect perfection of anyone. Including ourselves.
Good vibes only
I was always a gentle person who saw only the best in people, yes as a youth I was unrealistic and allowed myself to get hurt as I didn’t want to be a bad person who saw the worst, so I tried too hard to see only the best. Don’t do that to yourself. See what you see.
Now I know the worst is there and needs to be faced. Faced not judged. You don’t have to judge unkindness and violence are clear.
When someone hurts me I step gently away. I never lash back at them, I will actually agree that they’re right because that’s how they’re choosing to see me, only I don’t tell them that last bit.
You truly can’t change anyone else, give a relationship three sincere tries and if you can’t achieve balance leave.
Let them think what they think, they will anyway. Just get out as quickly and cleanly and soon as possible.
If we want this to be a better world we must step outside normal human training, such as:
- Right/wrong: without acceptance of different life experiences.
- Us as the centre of the world: I’m not you’re not.
- Isolationism: ‘the I hate people and avoid then as much as possible because they’re stupid’ syndrome. I am a semi-recluse, not because I don’t like the people I have met and those I haven’t. Because I pick up on the world energy and need peace. That’s all.
- Happiness is not a thing. Anyone who believes in that is naïve, deluded, and a sandwich short of a picnic. This is not true. Happiness is a thing, people do have it, and the belief in unhappiness will get you precisely that. Believe in happiness!
The happiness vibe
That’s my vibe because the universal energy exists as the purest love, if you reach out to it you can feel it, anyone can. Embrace it.
Happy people can’t start a war. They can’t hurt someone over their race, gender, colour, creed, religion. It would destroy who they are, who they were meant to be.
What’s destroying this world is stress and poor teaching combined with a lack of critical thinking. Not critical as in telling anyone they’re wrong, important thinking that it’s critical that we all do. Politicians also have a big hand in this.
The unrelenting stress of everyday modern life has divided us, day after day at work, nights spent in front of the tv.
People are becoming isolated and scared of others, which leads to feelings of fear of others, and also dehumanises them. UK society is changing in all the wrong ways. My husband and I were shocked to the core the other night when there was a knife murder and we both muttered ‘not again!’ We’re getting our outrage back asap.
If we embrace happiness and connect a lot of this will naturally go away. If we put our weapons and our gods down, and find ways to unite, more will go away. But that requires each and every individual who will, to simply become happy and allow others to be.
We all know how it feels to smile at a stranger and they smile back, and the more you do it the more people smile back. It’s such a wonderful feeling. Let’s do more of that.
Respect, inclusion, friends, fun, joy, laughter, safety and world peace will follow happiness, because it’s such a loving vibration.
It’s not much to ask of anyone, please find happiness and be happy, spread joy, love life, find people fascinating. It would make a world of difference. Oh, and ignore politics and keep your god personal.
Good vibes are life saving vibes. They also change you, your mind, and your life, completely. Walk along the street beaming, be the coming of the light when you walk into work, make all your friends feel better just because you’re you, and we’re well on the way to a society where killing will be a rather ridiculous sounding part of history that people can’t quite take in.
