George, another thought: my biggest problem, is that I feel deeply connected to suffering. I am a mother and an empath, and I can hardly bear to know what so many other mothers are now going through, watching their children suffer in pain, hunger and thirst, because of resources being hoarded elsewhere, and because of violence. Sometimes I feel what they are feeling. So the present moment for me, while it does hold great beauty thanks to my blessings (my child), can also hold great sorrow. It's hard not to be dragged down by it. I have scarce resources myself so I can't help by sharing in a financial way. So I think that this situation constitutes what you have rightly recognized as "controls" on our energy -- we're not exactly sure how to help and it can feel overwhelming. Many people must be grappling with this basic puzzle: the beauty and yet the pain of the "now", if we extend the "now" to include everybody. It is much more pleasant to exclude the suffering that goes on right now, so that is what most people usually do -- not everybody can handle an emotional connection with suffering yet. It's hard to be effective in light of an empathic knowing/feeling about other people, which can be both a blessing and a burden, but a way must be found to navigate that, because I feel that this is where we are all headed. I feel that you have provided a significant key to this problem. For me, it is now a matter of figuring out how to apply and use this key -- the positive and the good -- in order to help.
Thank you again for your valuable wisdom.

Thank you also for your beautiful reply.
You are truly an angel, radiating your love wherever you go.
"I will continue to try and do my own part to alleviate fear, which
I feel is the greatest stumbling block on our collective way towards
change."
I agree with the above statement, but I would just like to suggest
changing a couple of words: Change "try" I feel when we are trying
we are not being ourselves. I feel it is better to be true to
yourself and just be whom you are.
Change "Fear" Fear is the opposite of love, if we honour ourselves
and follow our hearts desire, we will be coming from love and love
and fear cannot occupy the same space as they are opposite to each
other.
Also FEAR "False Evidence Appearing Real" cannot appear in the
moment of Now. Fear arises, when we start to project into the
future or look back into the past.
Wake up your awareness to really See, Hear Touch and Smell and
Taste, what is around you in each moment. Life can only be
experienced moment by moment. Live each moment fully connected to
your environment, fully connected to your loved ones, awake and
aware of the beauty in everything.
Use your imagination to create your moments and create them as a
reflection of whom you are and what you would like to create in the
moment. When you are fully present in the moment all possibilities
are open to your imagination create the greatest expression of who
you are.
Release the controls on your energy. Become truly a radiant being.
Your heart is full to overflowing with love, it can never run out.
Have the confidence just to create and radiate who you are, add your
passion and desire to your dreams and flow freely.
Share your love freely with yourself, loving yourself, as the truth
is, you are the Universe flowing your energy back to yourself. Be
on the leading edge of creation and create a really beautiful future
for yourself from yourself, by being yourself.
You are truly blessed.

> George, your answer was beautiful! I agree -- each time that we
put out positive, healing energy and connect with any other, we are
ultimately contributing to a more positive world. I see positive
signs all over the place, signifying deep change happening in the
way that people view one another, a broadening of our self-interest
to include everybody. I also see the opposite happening with more
ferocity -- signifying that although selfish ways are on their way
out, it won't be without some degree of resistance. Change is very
difficult, but it is definitely happening. I will continue to try
and do my own part to alleviate fear, which I feel is the greatest
stumbling block on our collective way towards change. I appreciate
the opportunity you have provided to connect, and to honour Neale's
profound contribution to a new world. Thank you.
