Today is a day to focus on the strength that I must have in order to do what I need to do. There are many kinds of strength – strength of character, the strength of my body, the strength of my beliefs. I can be called on at any time to use one or all of them. I can be strong when I need to be , and use my strength to protect, to defend, to withstand. I can use all of my strengths today, wisely and meaningfully, as and when I need to.
Today is a day to focus on safety. I will remove from my mind any ideas that make me think I am not safe. There are many beings and circumstances in the world that affect me and my surroundings. I cannot control them, but I can protect myself from them. I can deflect their negative energies and impulses. I am aware that I am protected by all of the forces of the universe and have no need to fear.
We are placed in a family unit which holds certain beliefs and life styles. Some say we choose this family … I think not.
We are taught certain behaviors, certain habitual patterns, we become acclimated to a particular area of the world.
We spend our life in these patterns until we decide we wish to reformat our life, into something WE choose, not that which our parents and peers instilled in us.
Even then, the choices we make are under constant manipulations, constant trials we face as we retrain our minds and restructure our habitual patterns.
We may fall into the past pattern occasionally, or even frequently. Yet we must continue to rise above it, to change the pattern, to eliminate reminders of these patterns from our lives in order to give ourselves a fighting chance at restructure, at choosing consciously our future.
Since we know our younger years were manipulated by the hidden hand, who also affected our role models lives, we can say that ‘choice’ is simply what we do from the limited experiences we have been given to pick from.
Anything else …
We’ve got to create ourselves.
How do we know it is proper choice vs manipulated choice?
Proper choice will benefit our life, and assist us in spiraling upward and forward into greater experiences, where goodness multiplies rather than its opposite.
Manipulated choice is that born of programming from youth and varying circumstances we were exposed to, involving a limited number of choices available, keeping a perpetual cycle of some form of chaos alive.
Usually, it is the manipulator who will remind you “it was your choice” …. all while they urge the fall from grace, so to speak.
The hidden hands … they cannot ascend. They have chosen dominion over this earth and have paid the price for it … their very soul. This is where they will be for eternity, or until they can no longer keep their life viable. Misery loves company, and they will do whatever necessary to keep humans trapped in these particular lower fields.
By rule, they can tempt you, but they also must tell you how to help yourself. “Stay away from thc …. go ahead and smoke it …”
The tempter will always tempt, and then say it was your choice when you fall. They simply cannot leave well enough alone. It’s a game you see … sheeple are a commodity for the woke and ancient ones pulling strings.
So … it is clear that in order to change habitual patterns, the entirety of the environment must change. Making this shift is a challenge in itself when others are involved … when one must wait for them to take action on their own part. And when they don’t …
Jekyll & Hyde Bitch
I don’t like to wear the hat, honestly. But this is the future I’m talking about. How does one remain in LOVE when they are fighting to cleanse their environment, giving their Soul the best chance possible for stability? Well, love of self must outweigh anything else …
The tempter … they are hidden and also in plain sight, often they are latched on for dear life … because it is you (and me) they feed upon, energetically and physically. To them our presence literally means that which sustains life … theirs.
Her teeth needed straightening, they would say. People would continue to attack her looks and her self-esteem to the point that she was very insecure, she believed what everyone said about her, admitting she was an “ugly duckling.”
When she first met him, she could not believe that a man was interested in her. She wanted him to see her world, so instead of going to a fancy, social event, she instead took him to the slums of the Lower East Side, where she did volunteer work, helping young immigrants.
The young man, who had held a rich, sheltered life, saw things he would never forget — sweat shops where women labored long hours for low wages and squalid tenements where children worked for hours until they dropped with exhaustion.
This walking tour profoundly changed the young man, moving him to say, that he “could not believe human beings lived that way.”
The young man’s name was Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the young woman, who changed his life forever, who would change the world forever, her name was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt.
They would eventually marry. On March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt would be inaugurated as the 32nd President of the United States and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt would become the First Lady. At first, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt remained shy. She would also continue to be ridiculed by the press, making fun of her stout figure, toothy smile, and way of dress. Even her own mother-in-law, still over-protective of her son, would tell Eleanor’s own children that their mother was boring.
But, being First Lady allowed Eleanor Roosevelt to see more of the world, to see how the rest of the nation lived, outside of her privileged surroundings. She started speaking up for women, African-Americans, and children. And, she started influencing her husband, telling him what she saw.
She would continue to receive hate mail for her views, but it just made her stronger, more determined.
When the Daughters of the American Revolution boycotted the 1936 concert of African-American singer Marian Anderson, she would resign her membership and helped organize a new concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial that made history.
She flew with black (male) pilots and helped the Tuskegee Airmen in their successful effort to become the first black combat pilots.
She would be nominated three times, during her lifetime, for a Nobel Peace Prize. She became a renowned social and political activist, journalist, educator, and diplomat. Throughout her time as First Lady, and for the remainder of her life, she was a high profile supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, of equal rights for women, and of social reforms to uplift the poor.
Even after her husband’s passing, she remained active in politics for the rest of her life. President Truman would appoint her as a U.S. Delegate to the United Nations, where she would receive a standing ovation when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted on December 10, 1948.
She would chair President Kennedy’s ground-breaking committee which helped start second-wave feminism, the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. And, she continued supporting women, even personally assisting in the careers of many women, providing them with guidance, giving them hope.
She would still remember when they called her an ugly duckling when she was growing up, but to the world, she was and continues to be a beautiful swan whose beauty inside helped her speak the truth, making the world a little better for all.
Today is a day to focus on courage. I have the courage to make the decisions that must be made, to do the work that must be done, to face the things that must be faced. I summon the courage of the warrior and protector and manifest it in my life. I acknowledge the courage within myself and also honor the courage I see in others.
