I have heard from so many friends and loved ones, who are deeply bewildered, that these is no hope for peace. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. They are right in their assessments. The controversies some have aspired to, endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is hideous. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

Yet, I urge you, ask you, please do not spend your days bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we chose to be born during these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, and many have been in training - and just waiting to meet during these times.
I grew up in Holland and recognised the signs of the times all around me from an early age. This often made me feel alone and sad, but deep within an inner voice kept nagging me to wake up.

Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more enlightened souls in embodiment than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind...

We are all needed

Look out; there are millions of righteous souls on the planet with you. Even though your soul may shiver from every day as you wake up in this stormy time, I assure you that together with the nature and animal kingdoms we must stand together, to hold our own, and advance, regardless.
In any dark time, there is a tendency to mull over how much is wrong in the world. Do not focus on that.

There is a tendency too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is like sailing without raising the sails. We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we will even more meet great souls who will love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear.

Didn’t you say you were a believer? Didn’t you say you pledged to listen to a greater voice? Didn’t you ask for grace? Don’t you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the greater voice?...

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts; adding, adding to, adding more, continuing.

We know that it does not take “everyone on Earth" to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or third gale.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your Soul. An awakening Soul shines like gold in dark times.

To display the lantern of your soul in shadowy times like these; to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense bravery and great necessity. Struggling Souls catch light from other Souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not write a diary about it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to dwell in my mind. The reason is this: in my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: ascend we will from the illusion of this human script.
This message comes with much love and a prayer that you remember who you came from, and why you came to this beautiful, needful Earth.
