Don’t we live in exciting times? There is so much going on it is exciting, and also a little scary. The good news of course, is that all this craziness, gives us all wonderful and very powerful opportunities for our spiritual growth, if we are brave enough to stand up for our principles, and to care for others, and ourselves in the face of the Donald Trumps and the brutal, authoritarian regimes, of this world.
For a change of pace from my recent postings, I am putting forward a poem that was written this week. These “exciting times” need our attention, and the world needs us to step forward to share our Love and compassion.
The title of this poem suggests both the current challenges in our world, and the spiritual opportunities, expressed partly in a religious framework. Please don’t let that put you off.
Next time, I will publish the second poem that I wrote on that same day, which I feel is one of the most powerful, and moving that I/we have written.
It is time to step forward, and to support the world in its transformation.
In Love and light,

GOING TO HELL ON EARTH
How brave are these Hong Kongers…
fighting for their freedom?
Very brave, and they are fighting for their way of life.
I can’t speak for them, but it seems they think that their life,
is going to Hell… on Earth,
as they fight blind obedience, uncompromising discipline,
and restrictions on their expression.
The world of “1984” is late in coming,
but it is certainly on its way.
The hundreds of thousands of Uighar in their “re-education” prison camps,
would almost agree, except for them Hell is already here.
What is “Hell”?
Hell is being afraid to be the person that you really are.
Hell is being forced to go through the motions in life.
Life is precious… Don’t waste it.
If you want to wear something “groovy”,
something that makes you feel good, then wear it.
If you want to do something to express your positivity,
and creativity, then do it…
unless, it hurts others…
for, as the Master, Jesus, said:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
Today, we are living 50 years after Woodstock,
with all its wild excesses, and its crazy, impetuous idealism,
and the forces of Darkness are fighting back hard.
The “forces of darkness”, the forces of “evil”…
what are they?
Evil is “live”, reversed… and anything,
that does not express your inner, true self…
is evil.
Be true… Try to always tell the truth.
Even when “telling the truth” is hard…
always leaven your words with Love.
Do not be blunt and uncaring, and try to speak from your heart,
for, when you speak from your heart,
you are closer, much closer,
to living in your heart.
So, what am I saying?…
Hell is here now.
It exists when we let the suffering of others to continue,
to not be remedied.
It exists when we are doing things we despise,
because of “our” “needs”, or “obligations”.
It exists… because we allow it.
Stop supporting evil… Instead, promote Life.
Instead of living in your Hell… live in a world of Love.
This can only happen when you live in a world of Truthfulness…
when you live in and through your heart…
when you live in a world of Love.
It is time, little one ( / Little One)
Make it so…
Bring Heaven to our planet…
Now… and always.
In Love and Light,
Alan
