Rather, it is our own thoughts, attitudes, and judgments about those things that cause us the distress. Attitudinal Healing is about healing our own minds and hearts to have harmony and integrity in all that we think, say, and do - active ingredients for resolving conflict and bringing about peace of mind. Health is defined as inner peace and Healing is the letting go of fear.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div></div></div><div><img id="<15BEC61B-C6EE-42CF-B481-E0D274FA078E>" src="cid:5FD5E5C5-8A3E-414C-8234-948F19F43672" alt="ornament-swirl_small1.png" class="Apple-web-attachment Singleton" style="opacity: 1;"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><font color="#ff2600">#5.<b> </b></font><b>NOW IS THE ONLY TIME THERE IS AND EACH INSTANT IS FOR GIVING</b></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">This principal is designed to help us stay in the present moment. It is very easy to lapse into the past or build up anxiety about the future. When we do this, we are often not peaceful. When we recognize this, we can focus our attention back to the present where it is possible to experience peace. If we stay in the present, we are best able to deal with anything that comes our way. If we are someplace else, it is not possible to make decisions. In essence, <b>NOW</b> is the only time there is. It is in the <b>NOW</b> that the love energy comes through us. It is in the <b>NOW</b> that we are not judgmental and we can clearly see what is going on.</div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">We cannot control the external world. We will never be peaceful if we try to do so. We can, however, learn to control our thoughts. As we change our thoughts from those of getting to those of giving, we will start to notice evident changes in the outside world.</div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">My most profound experience of an example of what can happen was when I was in Moscow recently with a group called “Children as Teachers of Peace" with Dr. John Polski, who is the founder of the project. We were at a press conference with the head of the Youth Organization of the USSR, the Young Pioneers. He gave a 45 minute speech about how it was the fault of the United States. That relations were not better between the two countries, etc.</div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">We all listen to a speech and when he asked for questions from the children, they responded in a way he did not expect. One at a time they told this man how good the Russian people had been to us. They said that if people of the United States heard the stories of the kind treatment we had received from the Russians on our trip, that there would be no wars. They went on to offer a donation from each of the children towards the Chernobyl disaster.</div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">As each young person spoke from his or her heart, the man began to undergo a beautiful transformation. His face began to soften and have more color. His eyes became moist. He came from being very guarded to being very responsive. I went up to him and spoke to him after the meeting. He thanked us so much for coming, and it was clear to me that he was a different person than when he walked into the room. I, too, was a different person. I was so moved, that I felt in my heart that it actually could be possible to have peaceful relationships in spite of all the obstacles that seem to be in the way.</div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 16px;">~The above was writing years ago with references of a trip to Russia with Dr. Jerry Jampolsky and 42 children~</div><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 16px;"><div style="font-size: 14px;"><font size="3">The Key to this message is </font><font size="3"><b>“NOW” is the Only Time There Is” </b>~ and the question is: In this instant, what is it that I am giving~? The answer is found in self reflection ~ an examination of what each of us in any moment of <b>NOW</b> is thinking and feeling, for that is what we are giving. It is our <b>PRESENCE, BEING in the NOW</b>~. As a channel, a broadcasting channel, am I a conduit for Love, Healing and Transformation or is my inner atmosphere one of irascible judgement, fear or contempt ~ these are times <b>NOW</b> when we have the opportunity to examine what it is we are amplifying ~ Am I giving Love, kindness, Caring and Compassion or am I living with contempt? What is the energy current I am generating and projecting into the atmosphere as well as into the collective conscious field. Is this peace within~.
