Though they may be young and still maturing in various ways, they have an innate knowledge of complex spiritual concepts and how to work with the healing powers of love and life to make this world a better place. They have a deep understanding of the profound sacredness of life; of the vital importance of actively healing and supporting Mother Earth; of loving with kindness, honesty, integrity and compassion and of the imperative need for healthy balance in body, mind, heart and soul. It has been my great honor to work and grow with these beautiful young people.
To help us have a little more insight into the hearts and minds of these extraordinary beings, I am including two essays written by my precious
Goddaughter, Ali, who was 15 at the time she wrote these. She is a warrior, a strong and powerful "Indigo Child." She is a unique and brilliant star in our firmament, as so many of our young people are. Let us open our hearts and minds to embrace their wisdom so that we may better serve and empower them for the benefit of all.
YOUTH PERSPECTIVE
Angels Among Us
by Ali Mowrer
Angels are always with us no matter where we are or what we do. They guide our paths in life with their divine wisdom. Angels even guide those who do not even believe in their very existence. We may not always understand or be aware of their guidance. However if you let go of your fears and worries sit back and allow your angels to heal your pain, you will be miraculously successful in your life. This is not an easy thing to do, trust me.
By human nature we want to control, but letting go of that control releases us from the prisons we create for our selves. We all build prison walls to shield our selves from the pains in life. Unknowingly creating most of our pain as well as fears by doing this. If we could all just let go and see things in an angelic perspective, we could live in the divine light that tries to seep through the cracks in our prison walls. Many times in our lives we feel lost and alone, I myself have felt this way most of my life. However times like these are when you need to have the most faith that your angels will guide you to the right path in life if you let them. You must always remember your angels are always with you and how much they love you.
Death is one of the most widespread fears of mankind. There are no guarantees when it comes to dying. You just have to wait until it comes for you. Besides suicide there is no controlling death. The best way I have found to cope with the fear of death is most importantly to live. To do whatever your heart desires on this plain of existence to dream and achieve you goals while your still here. Time is very precious and is never to be wasted because you never know how much you have. Also you must have unconditional faith in your angels that they will guide you with divine love in this world and the next world.
Angels can only do so much to save us from ourselves; we are our own worst enemies and often create our own demons. Our angels always try and warn us or show us different paths in life, yet it is always up to us to choose where we go. Humans definitely don’t always make the right choices. Causing ourselves regret and sorrow. Most of us learn from our mistakes. However some of us return to the familiar destruction of our past. However painful something can create a false sense of comfort. Relying on something only because its familiar can often be very dangerous and deadly. Reality doesn’t have to be painful to be real. Reality needs to come from being true to yourself. More importantly, kind to yourself.
If you don’t love yourself you can never find true happiness and without happiness what is there to live for? You spend your whole life with one person, you. If you can’t love that person you have nothing. People come and go in our lives all the time. We may feel love or loved by them, but there’s no guarantee they’ll always be with you. However your angels are always with you and truly love you, as you should love yourself.
The World of Today and the Hope for Tomorrow
by Ali Mowrer
As the years go by in America so does the severe increase of obesity. American’s are becoming a "Super Sized" nation of inactive, overweight, unhealthy people. Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer are claiming the lives of more American’s and at younger ages. Most of these diseases are related to poor lifestyle choices consisting of high fat and high sugar diets with little nutritional value and lack of exercise. The children of our nation are especially affected by this massive consumption of fattening foods. The health of American children is at high risk for many diseases typically not seen in children (until recently) such as Type 2 diabetes, which is considered an adult onset disease generally occurring in adults between ages 40 to 90 years of age.
And while America is a nation of overfed and undernourished people, many parts of the world suffer and die from starvation and malnourishment. Just the other day, Dateline was covering a story about the grim conditions of the people of North Korea. Their government starves them. Most are malnourished, and many starve to death daily. Those who suffer most are the children, the elderly, and those with any health condition or weakened immune system. Many try to survive by eating a mixture of grass and anything else they can make gruel from. And there are some that have become so desperate they have turned to cannibalism for survival. Many others try to escape to China where they face equally grim conditions. If they are found they will be returned to North Korea and murdered. Some suffer even more inhumanity at the hands of the Chinese such as being sold as slaves. Many families have crossed to China but could only do so by leaving their children behind because they were too ill and weak to cross the river and survive the journey. One such family had hoped to cross back to North Korea to bring food to their family and help them escape after they had made a "better life" in China. Many who cross are caught and killed. They grieve and fear for their child and family.
It is the year 2002, and we can send people into space but we cannot seem to feed or make peace with ourselves as a people living on one small planet. Why should so many starve to death or be forced to live in miserable, cruel conditions and be plagued with disease when they don’t need to be? No one should be denied basic human rights such as food, shelter, and medical care. There is enough resource on this planet for all of the people, including food. Greed, filth and ignorance fill the world today and if we humans continue with this pattern of cruelty toward each other, we will destroy the entire planet and ourselves. Unless we all stand together as one, learning to respect, love and care for one another we have missed the biggest gift life has to give us. Humans don’t care for each other as much as we should or could, if we all would just help each other out, so much good would come for all of us.
Despite all the destruction we have created, we have the power to right these wrongs. In most third world countries the fault of all this misery is government systems. They need to be drastically altered so their people can live as people not cattle. Schools need to be established so medical care and the people can provide for other needs. Opportunities such as education should be available to anyone willing to learn. These people can’t help themselves because they aren’t educated. Proper water filtration and irrigation are very important as well. Many deadly diseases are caused by contaminated water; malnutriton creates even harsher living conditions. There is plenty of land to be cultivated for the growth of food crops. Even in dry places, with proper irrigation crops would flourish enough to feed the people.
Another very important aspect of this problem is overpopulation. Assessable forms of birth control are absolutely necessary to stop this massive problem. Laws need to be set for population control. Most of the children in these countries die before age 10, because they can’t be provided or cared for. This is severely unnecessary and needs to stop. Many women are forced into prostitution just to be able to feed themselves. This is a cesspool for death, disease and unnecessary childbirth. With out choice these children are born into a world that does not want them, starves them, and kills them.
I hope someday soon these tragic events will come to an end. The human race needs to recognize this disturbing reality and change it. Health and happiness are a right not a privilege no matter where you live. We're all here together on this earth to live. Living should not carry with it boundaries for your dreams. Nor should anyone be born into suffering. We all need to work together and simply care about others as much as we do our selves. Everyone should feel love and happiness, not suffering and pain. Life should be a peaceful enjoyable experience no matter who you are or where you live. Only you can make this difference. People need to help themselves as well as each other. The world needs to change, beginning with the human heart, so please spread the word of kindness far and wide. Thank you for taking the time to read my column. I hope we all can make the difference and live together in peace.
