Don't wait until 'it' happens. Someone is sick. Or someone you know is dying or has died. Or you hear the latest tragic news report. Don't wait until things get bad in the world. Please, don't wait! Yes, You. I'm writing this to you 'out there' whom I don't know. Yes, you: that brave, hard-working, sensitive caring soul who wants to learn, grow, develop, and master yourself as you support and help others in the world. How do you change the world from your couch?
First let me say this: It's just an IDEA. You don't have to DO anything really. So this is just an IDEA. Nothing religious. Or spiritual...and perhaps you may say "MAURICE I'M ALREADY DOING IT!" or "I DON'T REALLY CARE, IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS!" and I would agree with you: what you believe about what works for you, works for you. Now on with the story:
I won't bore you with all the details. But it began after a healing session I gave a client. It just came to me. It was something about 'Lighting a candle at home' for her family & friends. But I didn't take it literally. So I thought about it as I went home. 'Light a candle' 'Light a candle' 'Light a candle'. I thought about it. And thought about it. And I thought about it.
Then it happened. I decided I would take a small sheet of paper. And write down the names of people I know(including myself) who I felt could use healing energies: friends, family, strangers-didn't really matter. Now 3 weeks have passed since I have been lighting a candle in my house-for healing purpose. I don't have to wait for people to die, or something awful to happen in order for me to change, and 'be grateful for life' as I so often hear. I don't have to wait for the blessings from a god, neither approval from a medical board, or certification to change the world from my couch! I can make things happen just from the intention. So I light a candle every day now. I write the names of people who are struggling with many challenges. And not just people: people with variousn challenges, animals, Nature, cities, nations, and businesses.
So today I'm lighting a candle for You. I'm lighting a candle for Us. I'm lighting a candle for this world. I'm lighting a candle for the joy, pain, sorrow, abused, the enslaved, the restless, the enlightened, the rich, the poor, the miserable, the homeless, the sick, the animals, plants, food, Mother Nature, and the entire planet. We can change the world from our couch. As we are sitting there with a bowl of ice cream in our hands, having a nice gourmet meal, a pint of beer, or a glass of wine, we can simultaneously change the world. We can do miracles. We can heal ourselves in a new way. Doesn't take 'bad' things to happen in order for to appreciate the 'good.' We can make a difference in the world, consciously, and enjoy life. Change can happen in creative happens. That's the joy that comes from real change.
Do you need a couch? NO...but we will talk about that later...remember we are talking ideas...and ideas are ideas!
So go ahead...light a candle now....for the ones you love, your neighbors, your community, your state, your country...for the animals, Nature, deceased, the newborns, the planets...the universes...and yes, for yourself...light one for yourself and have fun...and let your whole being be filled with this Light! Thank you!!!
