My dear friends, we love you so very much.

While you are upon this earth we ask you to practice love and
tolerance for beliefs different than your own. By all means, stand
in your own sacred center and only allow those behaviors that are
right for you into your own life, but please refrain from judging
others. Each person upon this earth, no matter, how hateful or how
loving is on a quest for love... whether they are aware of it
consciously, or completely ignorant of the fact.

When you disagree with someone, that is fine. You were not all
meant to agree with one another. Think how boring your earth would
be if there were only one kind of tree, only one kind of flower,
only one scent, and only a limited range of sound. It is the very
differences, the exquisite variety, that makes your planet, and
indeed your human race unlike any other. You were never meant to
be alike, worship alike, dress alike, look alike, or think alike.
You were instead meant to form a beautiful kaleidoscope of of
being-ness that in total is created in God's image and likeness.
Even the dark serves a purpose to define the light. You could not
easily see a candle flame in the light of the sun, could you? But
you can make it out quite clearly in a darkened room. And so even
the souls whose behaviors are sadly dark serve a purpose for they
help you see, by contrast, your light, your goodness, and your
love. Bless them for this role, set clear boundaries, or let them
be and move away from them. Refrain from judgment dear ones, for
each soul is truly doing the best they can in the moment -
certainly not the best they are truly capable of in potential, but
the best they can in each moment.

By avoiding judgment you free yourselves up. Rather than having to
spend copious amounts of time and energy in defense of your
perspective, or teaching another, you simply own what is true for
you, express it if need be, and release whether or not the other
changes, understands, or even likes what you say. You then, in
response, can make healthy choices, because you have communicated
and received a response. You now know where you stand. You now know
where the other person stands. You can make a new choice. You can
express your heart even more. You are creating real movement by
embracing this level of honesty and non-detachment.

By contrast, arm-twisting, manipulation, coercion, or any attempt
to 'make' another soul grow or change is a waste of your precious,
loving, time and energy. Offer your gifts of wisdom but if the
other does not wish to hear them or make use of the, let it be.
They will grow in their own time.

You are all here for the very same reason dear friends - to learn
that you are indeed children of God, born of His love, breathing by
His will, and striving to clear yourselves of the illusions that
you are anything less. Some of you are more conscious of this than
others. Do not judge the unconscious ones for they are most in need
of your prayers, and your love.

Love does not dictate that you must remain around or give in to
these hurting souls, but rather love asks that you be as
compassionate and kind as possible - no matter what your choices.
You can love and set firm boundaries. You can love and walk away.
You can love and ask permission to share your point of view. Love
acknowledges the soul within and chooses wisely which behaviors you
will support and which you will choose to withdraw from. Love
walks hand in hand with truth, clarity, wisdom, and discernment. If
you need help finding the healthy way to love an unhealthy person -
be it talking with them or walking away from them, pray for help -
these prayers are held in high esteem and always answered in their
proper time.

We love you so very much.
