Dear Karen Kaye,

Do you feel there is hope that we can heal our planet?

Thomas

 

Dear Thomas,

The way to heal our planet is one person at a time. Just as a person can heal, so can the planet. It is the actions and inactions of people that create the challenges we face on the planet. Our thoughts and feelings create an energy. We are either conscious or unconscious. I have come to believe that there is no good or bad, only willingness or a lack of willingness to receive the lessons that come our way, whether as individuals, companies, countries, or even the planet. This united consciousness allows us to influence change on a larger scale.

To get to this place, individuals will need to remember “If I fear people who are not like me or if I do not stay knowledgeable on current affairs and situations, what will happen to the planet if most people do the same?” As people become more aware of the consequences of their beliefs and actions, “a people of the world” will emerge. I think these messages are best reflected in the words of the song “Imagine” by John Lennon.

 

Imagine there’s no heaven

It’s easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today…

 

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace…

 

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world…

 

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one

 

 

As each individual works on letting go of their own limitations, that person becomes a light amongst the darkness. One “light” can be seen in miles of darkness. That person can be called a “person of the world.”
