Dear Friends Around The World,
The events of this day cause every thinking
person to stop their daily lives, whatever is going
on in them, and to ponder deeply the larger
questions of life. We search again for not only
the meaning of life, but the purpose of our individual
and collective experience as we have created it -
and we look earnestly for ways in which we might
recreate ourselves anew as a human species,
so that we will never treat each other this way again.
The hour has come for us to demonstrate at the
highest level our most extraordinary thought about
Who We Really Are. There are two possible responses
to what has occurred today. The first comes from
love, the second from fear.
If we come from fear we may panic and do things -
as individuals and as nations - that could only
cause further damage. If we come from love we will
find refuge and strength, even as we provide it
to others.
This is the moment of your ministry. This is the
time of teaching. What you teach at this time,
through your every word and action right now will
remain as indelible lessons in the hearts and minds
of those whose lives you touch, both now, and for
years to come. We will set the course for tomorrow,
today. At this hour and in this moment. let us seek
not to pinpoint blame, but to pinpoint cause. Unless
we take this time to look at the cause of our experience,
we will never remove ourselves from the experiences it
creates. Instead, we will forever live in fear of
retribution from those within the human family who
feel aggrieved and, likewise, seek retribution from them.
To us the reasons are clear. We have not learned the
most basic human lessons. We have not remembered the
most basic human truths. We have not understood the
most basic spiritual wisdom. In short, we have not
been listening to God, and because we have not, we
watch ourselves do ungodly things.
The message we hear from all sources of truth is clear:
We are all one. That is a message the human race has
largely ignored. Forgetting this truth is the only cause
of hatred and war, and the way to remember is simple:
Love, this and every moment. If we could love even those
who have attacked us, and seek to understand why they
have done so, what then would be our response? Yet if we
meet negativity with negativity, rage with rage, attack
with attack, what then will be the outcome?
These are the questions that are placed before the
human race today. They are questions that we have
failed to answer for thousands of years. Failure to
answer them now could eliminate the need to answer
them at all. If we want the beauty of the world that
we have co-created to be experienced by our children
and our children's children, we will have to become
spiritual activists right here, right now, and cause
that to happen.
We must choose to be at cause in the matter.
So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for
counsel and advice, for insight and for strength
and for inner peace and for deep wisdom. Ask God
on this day to show us how to show up in the world
in a way that will cause the world itself to change.
And join all those people around the world who are
praying right now, adding your Light to the Light
that dispels all fear.
That is the challenge that is placed before every
thinking person today. Today the human soul asks the
question: What can I do to preserve the beauty and the
wonder of our world and to eliminate the anger and
hatred-and the disparity that inevitably causes it
- in that part of the world which I touch?
Please seek to answer that question today, with all the
magnificence that is You. What can you do TODAY...
this very moment?
A central teaching in most spiritual traditions is:
What you wish to experience, provide for another.
Look to see, now, what it is you wish to experience
- in your own life, and in the world. Then see if
there is another for whom you may be the source of
that.
If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for
another.
If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another
to know that they are safe.
If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible
things, help another to better understand.
If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek
to heal the sadness or anger of another.
Those others are waiting for you now. They are looking
to you for guidance, for help, for courage, for strength,
for understanding, and for assurance at this hour. Most
of all, they are looking to you for love.
We love you, and we send you our deepest thoughts of peace.

James Twyman, James Redfield and Doreen Virtue
