Dear Now,
I could start this out by saying "Hello,"
But I think we both know it would go a little bit more like (sigh) "Hello... again." Please don't think I mean that in a demeaning way. I'm glad to write to you... again. Just in case you forgot, here's what you told me in your last letter:
"BE HERE NOW!"
"LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT!"
"RESIST NOTHING!"
These are all simple "peaceful" mantras that my soul is telling my mind, heart, and body to do, and I am trying to listen...
But right NOW,
There are loud people down the hall from my hostel, yelling about pointless drama, politics and economic just for the sake of perpetuating problems.
And right NOW,
My dad is probably sitting in his office, worrying about the bills and fees he has to pay this month,
And right NOW,
I gurantee you that there are people dying in the hundreds, from
Malnutrition, cancer, heart attacks, homicide, suicide, unsafe abortion, rape, car accidents, a broken heart, the flu, HIV, malaria, food-poisioning, and-and the list goes on and on...
and they're all trapped in poverty...
the product of an unhealthy environment, a broken system,
and a profit-driven economy. They're all victims of their culture, which is what I'm trying to avoid.
I'm trying to be here now!
But I remember something my soul told me a long time ago in a dream of mine:
"Stop trying , and just do it. That's when the magic happens."
So here I am now Writing to you, my only friend because I know you truly do want what's best for me in the end, and for all of humanity.
So here's what I've been thinking (maybe you can tell me if this makes sense?):
The only way I can save the world
...
Is by accepting the world and all its imperfections
...
By realizing that the past is done, and the future has yet to come
...
So I need to save myself first???
Please just let me know if I'm at least on the right track. Something that I'm definitely grateful to have learned from you is this: The choice is ours, we just have to BE HERE NOW.
This has become increasingly clear to me, as my intuition seems to be growing, and the Law of Attraction is beginning to make some sense for once! Even though I cannot change the feeling of others, I have mastered the skill of choosing to be happy!
This emotional and mental discipline is a fun skill to develop indeed.
I now feel more grateful than ever for the little things in life. If only I could learn to use my sensitivity to attract only positive energy, and to turn the negative energy into positive
energy as well. Spiritual alchemy is a tricky subject, but it's worth learning.
