Beloved Children of the Light,
The New Power of Thought
The new power of thought is proportional to the presence of expanding light upon the earth, allowing each thought that is clear, light-filled, and directed, to connect with and uplift others in ways that could not happen before.
At times, our desire to help the world must address the world as a whole, since the interactive global connections being established are needed to hold the planet in light. At other times, the greatest help we may be able to offer is through our contact with individual others, where possibilities for healing through thought and through our loving intention can take place with effects that may not have been possible before.
The potential for healing individual relationships is greater today in the presence of increased light, and we participate with the purposes of light if, and when, we have the courage to risk new attitudes and new behaviors ourselves. This does not require that the 'other' in our relationship be overtly ready to change, only that we are.
The ability of thought to transmit energy, emotion, and intent is amplified, now, because we have become more transparent and less dense. Therefore, we offer diminished resistance to the passage of light, the way something less solid does to the penetration of something else through it. And even if this is only a fraction of what it shall be, this greater transparency means that our thoughts of love, hope, compassion, and forgiveness can travel further, faster, and can penetrate the hearts of others with greater ease and with greater effect.
It is worth trying, especially in relationships that have been embattled or problematic, where we may have had difficulty holding our own. Perhaps it is time to experiment with holding a thought of complete forgiveness and compassion toward someone whose behavior or attitude may be less than accepting or even overtly hurtful. We can try to remain in the thought of love, not in an abstract sense, but in a personal sense for the immediate presence and life of the soul that dwells within. This soul is struggling to learn and is doing the best they can to move forward in their own growth. However conscious or unconscious they may be, we can forgive them their limitations. We do not have to love their behavior. We only have to acknowledge their oneness with us as a soul and as a child of God.
Thoughts held with intent, commitment, and clarity have a more powerful effect, today, on the rest of life. Affecting just one other soul, they pass through that one and out into the interconnected universe of souls more quickly, enhancing all of consciousness.
To witness God's magic at this time, we must be ready to participate in it with an open heart. We cannot ask love to appear or healing to take place while we are still willing to close our hearts in fear and judgment. The magic of this time lies in the power of light which gives greater power to thought, and especially to thoughts of love and forgiveness. See what happens. Blessings.

On another subject, One World Meditations is growing slowly and we invite you to look at the Guestmap to see where people are who are taking part. There are others participating, as well, who are not yet on the map.
If you know of a place - newsletter, brochure, web page - where One World Meditations might be listed, we would like your help in doing so. The Realms of Light are actively supporting this global meditative effort and will continue to do so as more people become involved. You can place the notice on your own, being sure to include the correct schedule of both Wednesday and Thursday times, as well as a link to the www.oneworldmeditations.org website, or, if you would like help with copy, please be in touch with me using this link.
As we begin the graceful month of June, with summer plans and hopes ripening for many, let us remember also those who are still in need of our love in Myanmar, China and elsewhere. Let our daily prayer for the world be in our hearts and on our lips. May all beings be blessed. Amen.
