This website would not be
possible without the freedom that we enjoy in the United
States of America. Today, we as a nation have paid a high
price for that freedom with the hijacking of airplanes
resulting in the devastation of the World Trade
Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC.
Having been privileged to see both of these wonders in this
lifetime, I view their destruction with great sadness. This
tragedy comes very close to our home as terrorists also
crashed a hijacked airplane in Western Pennsylvania and
one of the hijacked flight crew was from our hometown of
Marlton, New Jersey.
Although I mourn those who died as a result of this
terrorist act and the related rescue efforts, I also know
that, as Soul, these individuals are eternal, immortal, and
indestructible. They are in God's hands now... they are
home. One day they will return here to live and love again.
And those who caused this tragedy will also return to reap what
they have sown... for none are free from the law of karma.
I know all too well how easy it is for hate to fill your
heart with the desire for revenge against those who caused
this tragedy. Yet, with the panorama of past life experience
spread before me, I know too the greater truth of these words of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr:
"Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that."
If you have read much on this site, you will
have seen this repeated many times:
"For any question, love is
the answer." This is especially true
of the present "attack on America". Hate is what caused this tragedy:
only love can solve it. So here are some loving solutions
that can bring light to this darkness.
Send love to the grieving families of those who were hurt or died
from this tragedy. Know that your loving energy will help to sustain
and support them during this intense time of trial and sorrow.
Send love to those in the areas effected by these terrorist
acts who now must struggle to heal and rebuild their broken
lives. Know that your loving energy and prayers will
help them keep going.
Do what you can to help those in need by giving blood, donating
money, or lending your talents where they will do the most good.
Living on Earth as we do, action is needed to achieve results.
Send love to those in the healing and helping professions
who will aid this nation in healing and rebuilding itself. For those
who help others need your loving energy to complete their
important tasks.
Send love to those in the US government who are charged with
responding to this crisis. Pray that they will temper justice
with reason and act with calm heads, caring hearts, and clear minds.
Send love to those in the world whose hatred of America was
the root cause of this tragedy. For hate is what crashed those
planes: not politics, power, or ideology. Let no more be lost to hate.
"One can begin to reshape the landscape with a single
flower."
Let that flower be you. Spread your love
wherever you go. Make a loving difference today, even if it is
just with a single thought. The choice is yours... make it a good one.
