Peace is, next to love, one of the most important virtue’s seen in nature and shows us how to act. Go into the woods and see if you will be enticed to become violent, angry, abusive, etc. You will not be enticed because all the animals and plants behave in only one way: peaceful and still. It’s in their nature to be peaceful and loving with all beings around them.
So, why is it that human’s become crazy, upset, turn to anarchy and violence like they did at the U.S. Capitol this last week? It’s because other human’s who have authority are put up on a pedestal as higher than the ordinary man on the street, which they are not they are equal to all! They are listened to and whatever they say is taken as truth, even if the words spoken by those in power are falsehoods and intended lies told only to incite an emotional response from those who don’t stop to think logically and question everything someone says, especially, someone who is idolized and put up on a throne.
Love, peace, freedom, and harmony are the only true value’s humans need to live and help live. Ideologies, Politics, Ism’s and other false thinking have driven humans to anarchy, violence, hate, and getting out of control of the good human nature for thousand’s of years. Now it’s time to stop this and start the transition to the golden age which is coming.
Once we come to know the truthly truth of who, what and why we are here on Earth will we all stop hurting each other and start to care for each other and live in true love and harmony with one another.
Stop and think, when was the last time America has had complete peace here and around the world? It hasn’t been without a war or civil strife since its founding. Why? Because love, peace, freedom and harmony among each American and the world is not in the best interests of making money and expanding the wealth of the few people who run big companies who produce and get wealthy from making more and more stuff. Don’t believe me, look up wars, American civil unrest and you’ll see it’s true.

What we saw last week is nothing new folks, it’s a continuation of a long history of continued destabilization of human’s in America, solely, to keep all of us down and falling into the abyss of ignorance and blind belief! Become knowing in truth and reality and start to think logically and rationally! And start becoming loving, peaceful, free and harmonious human’s who care for not only each other, but, for all plants and animals of the Earth before it is truly too late for us all! There are over 9 Billion people on the Earth! We have to stop over population and consumption of the Earths resource’s now or we will be living in hell where everything will be fought over, not just an election.
Love and Peace to all.
