"Once again we find ourselves in an exceptional situation. I feel a great need to take you by the hand and lovingly touch your troubled heart.
The most important thing we can do at this time is to remain at peace, in a deep state of centeredness and trust in life, not in the sense of repression nor in the sense of ignorance, but in the sense of that we focus on what we want for this world instead. This is an extremely challenging process that is required of every individual and should not be underestimated. It is the greatest power we currently have. It's a process of transformation.
Energy follows attention. When you want something to become more important in your life, you give it more of your attention and it takes up more space in your life. If you want something in your life to lose importance, you withdraw your attention from it, it withers, dissolves and disappears. Your energy flows in every moment to where you are mentally. If you allow yourself to be guided by aggressive, inhuman and heartless thoughts, this destructive energy will flow into this world and you will be part of an inner and outer war. Let us have the courage to lovingly feel the pain in our hearts while at the same time opening our hearts to be soft, vulnerable and in love. Let's keep our hearts open, even when our feelings are raging within us, helpless, powerless and desperate. This essentially changes a force and is an invisible process that every person can do for themselves, no matter what their circumstances are. Then love comes and that is the path of change.
The path of change is not fighting what you don't want, and the path of change is not turning away from what you don't want. The path to change is touching, taking it to heart, enduring, staying awake and giving away your love."
