An Act of Courage

In 1996, Keisha Thomas was in high school when she displayed an act of bravery whose message is particularly relevant in America today.

The kkk was having a rally in her hometown of Michigan, so Keisha attended the counter-protest that was being held across the road.

Suddenly, someone in her group yelled ‘there’s a klansman over here’ and the group zeroed in on a man in a confederate flag shirt, knocking  him to the ground while kicking and punching him.

Keisha reacted immediately by throwing her body on top of the klansman to protect him.

When asked about her actions Keisha replied, ‘I knew what it was like to be hurt. The many times that happened I wish someone would have stood up for me.’

The man never thanked Keisha, but months later she was in a coffee shop when his son recognized her and thanked her.

‘For the most part, people who hurt…they come from hurt,” she said. “it’s a cycle. Let’s say they had killed him or hurt him really bad. How does the son feel? Does he carry on the violence?’

Our country has been taken over by predators with hate in their hearts and they have unfortunately found a following in some of our fellow citizens. While opening our arms to them and just forgetting the horrors they’ve inflicted on us seems unreasonable, how can we move forward as a country without becoming hate-filled ourselves?

Now in her thirties, Keisha continues to be an advocate for finding ways to overcome our divides and gives us a suggestion, ‘the biggest thing you can do is just be kind to another human being’ she states. ‘it can come down to eye contact, or a smile. It doesn’t have to be a huge, monumental task.’

While forgiving and moving forward may still be in our future, just for today we can make the choice to spread a bit of kindness to those we come across. You never know how far-reaching that kindness will be.

Circle of Love

This will not be accepted by all, and many will ridicule it, but worrying about what people think of me is pretty low on my list of priorities right now.

For those of you who, like me, find it hard to comprehend and accept all that is happening in our country and world, I offer you my experience of last night.

I tossed and turned, but sleep was impossible, knowing that our country was in crisis. The fears began to overtake me, so I called out to Divine Mother, asking her to please help me.

I then had a vision of myself rising above the earth into the night and She showed me an enormous circle of light in the sky. As I got closer, I realized it was a circle of millions and millions of people, all radiating light and holding their hands toward the center. I felt these people were our authentic selves in our soul bodies, emitting the love and light that is our true essence. Everyone was in their own preferred group of worship. Monks were grouped here, Jews there, Muslims there, Christians…so many souls were joining in this circle of love, united in the desire to blanket our country and the earth with love. Some were singing their prayers, some were dancing, some were silently uniting their hearts. As the circle got smaller as it came toward the center, there were Native American elders, chanting and drumming and circling around the Seraphim angels, who were in the center where the circle was the smallest. There was an opening at their feet that shot the light down, like the cone of a tornado. This cone of love and light was going down directly into Washington DC and was so bright you couldn’t see anything but this immense light. As it came to earth and hit DC, it then spread all across the US, blanketing it in this love and light. From there, it expanded to the world.

I then felt her encourage me to join the group I was most comfortable with, so I did. As I did I could feel my heart physically expanding in my chest as it filled with love. Not in my vision, but here on earth. I could literally feel it. I could feel the power in this unity and love, and that this was the most important thing we could be doing at this time.

I was awake most of the night, joining them in showering DC with this love and light. I felt very strongly that this was not something I was imagining, but was truly happening on a level we can’t see with our eyes.

This is not just a crisis in our country and world, but a pivotal point in humanity’s evolution. Beings from all plains of existence, from heaven and earth and beyond are uniting to aid in turning humanity away from fear and division, back to the love and unity we were created in.

I share this because She asked me to, but also as an offering for those of you who, like me, sometimes feel overwhelmed with the fear and hatred that’s confronting us. When you are feeling hopeless and afraid, I urge you to close your eyes and join the circle of love in the sky. I promise it will ease your heart. It also releases the feelings of helplessness, as we are remembering the immense power of love, which is the most powerful force in the universe.

There are things we will be called to do, and some of them will require physical action on this earth. Love does not mean quiet supplication but sometimes requires us to speak up and take action.

We are not alone. We have never been alone. The entire universe is uniting and coming to aid us in this evolution, and we all must play our part.

Regardless of your physical abilities or limitations, when you are feeling helpless and afraid you can do the most powerful thing you can do to aid in love’s triumph, by joining the circle of love in the sky.
