Message in a bottle.
Those immortal words by FDR in the title have suddenly become very important to me.
I hope this gets to people that need it as fast as possible. You are not crazy. Do not let fear engulf your life for it may be fertilizing and feeding something ugly. It may be a matter of life or death. Pull back from the fear signals that the world is sending you. They are not real if you don’t let them be. Embrace love, trust, courage, hope, forgiveness (mostly for yourself) in whatever manner is most powerful for you. Work on recognizing the flavor of negative thought loops and simply say STOP when you feel them coming on! Read uplifting stories of human love, forgiveness, kindness, compassion, passion, empathy and bravery and dive into the emotions that they provide then remember them and hold them over and over and realize that these are the ones that are really part of you. Dive into a light cloud of love and feel yourself floating beautifully and safely into it, as far as you want to go. Don’t stop striving for lightness of being, if you get down pull yourself up. Love is greater than fear. Just do it!
See the tree of your own crisis, that only you can solve, instead of the forest of all the conflicting signals coming into your life that are feeding your fears through guilt. These vectors can be from all places, family, friends, religious figures, television, internet. Seek out and focus on uplifting sources that you know are resonant with your true self and focus on these. Again, they can be the same types of sources as the negative ones. Single sources often give mixed messages, trying to fool you that they are good, when really they are trying to send you on a wild goose chase of guilt, energy loss and fear. Good sources often give off a little bit of mixed signal so that they are not so obvious. Learn discernment. Don’t fall for grail quest type ruses, they will only run you ragged, you know, Da Vinci Code type stuff.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
