Beautiful Reflections on London and Beyond...

Dear Friends,

My friend and colleague Chrissie Blaze of The Aetherius Society wrote this letter after the recent bombings in London. It contains a beautiful message, profoundly applicable to the state of the world.

Best,

Marianne

*****************************

Dear Friends:

Like me I know you are shocked and reeling from the news of the devastating bombing in London. Having personally lived through IRA bombing attacks on London, I know how the fear and sheer uncertainty it creates on a daily basis. One never knows when and where it will strike and it is this effect that the terrorists - and the forces behind the terrorists - desire. I just heard from my mother that my beloved niece should have been on the Russell Square bus that was blown to bits - she catches it every morning. This morning, however, she decided to work on her project at home. I feel so relieved for her - and so very sad for those others.

One thing we can all do is to turn our anguish and tears into prayers for those who have died and those who are injured or who have lost loved ones.

As well as bringing healing and hope to those who are suffering, the prayer energy we send out can help to blanket London with love and balance. If enough people do this, we can overcome the fear and uncertainty that always follows such an attack, and bring that same spirit of inspiration and determination that we witnessed after 9/11, during the Blitz in London in World War II, and at other times of devastation. Prayer energy has the effect of drawing people together rather than the separating techniques used by the dark forces behind terrorism. It is a healing balm.

This really is the time in our world for us all to become workers for peace and light. It is not the time to sit on the sidelines and weep - but to use the spiritual tools we all have at our disposal - and act for the common good.

There are many people who have picked up this gauntlet in different forms. Recently we saw the effect of the Live8 concerts; there are many individuals and groups working for peace. The superb efforts of Marianne Williamson and those helping to build a Department of Peace. The organization to which I belong,The Aetherius Society is working on the level of global healing. These, and many more.

The main thing is that we are all doing something. Never underestimate what good you can do. It only takes one person to change the world. One person can create a ripple effect that will sweep through the world. Look at Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Gandhi........all of these and more cared enough to act, and their actions brought change on a global scale which will effect generations to come.

I have studied astrology for many years. One thing about the Age of Aquarius that we are in now is that it is the time for us "ordinary" people to become extraordinary. It is not the time for us to wait for others to lead the way. No longer can we stand on the sidelines. It is time for each of us to realize, deep within, that we are the harbingers of change.

Each and everyone of us has great power at our disposal, but first we must go within and find that power Some call it God, some Brahma, some Allah, some the Divine Spark - it doesn't matter what we call it, it is the great Creative Force behind and within all life - the main thing is that we draw on this deeper, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving part of us and then and then express it in loving service to humanity.

These are the days of change. It is up to each and everyone of us whether the change is towards even greater depravity, or towards peace and enlightenment. The latter can only be borne in the fires of a loving heart. We should ask ourselves honest questions at this time so that we do not live a life of regret. Are we doing enough to bring truth, love and healing into our world, or are we too caught up in the endless daily grind of meaningless activities? If it is the latter, we need to find the space to think more deeply and if we do, I know the result will be a burning desire to be of even greater service.

So please, let us join together and send our heartfelt prayers to those now suffering in London, and around the world.

Thank you for expressing the divine power of your great and loving heart.

Blessings,

Chrissie Blaze
