             So we are facing the old energy making what it knows is its last stand.  It will not go quietly.  It is desperate and terrified. It actually believes the abandonment of its principles and policies will lead to the end of the world, because for it, the world will end.  The loss of the old energy feels like death to the old energy; just as the loss of the new energy feels like death to it (us).

             Our hope, as I led off, is that Spirit is Love and Love will always prevail. Our challenge is that spirit will not give us that for which we are not working in co-creative cooperation with spirit.

             Many of us are on the fence and doing little or nothing to revive the spirit of compassion as the organizing principle of our society.  When the new energy was generally prevailing and rising, it was acceptable for many of us to stay on the fence, not really active, not really working for change, but living our nice and improving lives quietly, just as we want and should be able to do.  But the old energy came flying off the fence and is working as hard as it can to reestablish its dominion and rid the world of the new energy for all time.

             What we need to prevail is for enough of those who seek the good to get off the fence.  We know the Edmond Burke Quote: “The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

             The opposite, of course, and the hope for our age: all that is needed for good to triumph is for good people to do something.

   When enough of us being to work consistently, diligently and with compassionate hearts to seek the greatest good for the most people, we will prevail.  Love cannot be stopped, for love is all there is.  Btu we have to work, we have to get involved. And, yes that means involved in politics and is social activism. NOW!

             A Course In Miracles says this:  “Nothing real can be threatened.  Nothing unreal exists.  Therein lies the peace of God.”  Therein lies the source of my faith and hope that we can apply love to our lives and bring peace and harmony to our world.
