"...If you have thoughts of changing someone who is in resistance, it
would perhaps be more appropriate, and certainly more comfortable for
you, to just allow them to be different, with Love.

"You can put Peace out in the work place, or at home, or wherever you
are, by simply sending loving thoughts. And loving thoughts can be
very catching, and sometimes even the strongest resister well, can
become, instead of the tiger roaring, the pussycat meowing. But
you're not changing them, you're simply showing them an opportunity.
You're giving them loving feelings, and allowing them to make their
own decisions about what they're going to do, or not do.

"They may want to try to take advantage of you, but that's where your
own growth comes in. You're not weak. No one is ever weak when they
send Love. They are strong. They are empowered when they think Love,
and speak Love, and act Love. That is powerful, and when you can do
that, and not really internalize, or take into your fields, some less
than loving vibrations that are coming at you, then you know without a
doubt that you are Light, and you are Love, and you are far more
powerful within your own being than anyone who allows themselves to be
intimidated, or in any way diminished.

"When you open your heart to receive the Love of the Universe, you
don't have to take in every bit of dysfunctional, or disharmonious
energy that's out there in the World. You can be very specific about
what you will accept within your being. It's all about intent, and
it's all about who you choose to be. So you can just say no to
anything that does not match where you are in your path. You are
vibrating at a high frequency, and you will go higher.

"And standing in your Light, when there is something that is less than
wonderful going on around you, is a wondrous way to step back and look
at yourself. Oh, and by the way when you do that, you are asked, or
it is suggested, that you look upon your own self with Love, because
that's where it starts anyway. And as you do that, you're radiating
this out, and you're sending out positive messages of Love and Joy.

"And it feels so much better than sending out messages of anger and
fear, and, you know, all those things. That is why those that are in
resistance often times try to drag you down, and that is a true
saying, drag you down to the level where they are, because the Truth
of it is, they're not real happy there. They're not real joyful
there. They're just not ready to climb out of that hole, or whatever,
that they have chosen for themselves at this moment.

"So you can keep them in the hole, and jump in with them, if you want
to, by reacting with anger, or negativity, or whatever you want to
call it, or you can keep yourself on the high plane, and invite them
to join you. Sure, hold out your hand.

"You can even, if this fits, and is appropriate, you even can say,
'Hey, I know exactly how you feel, because I've been there myself;
I've chosen something different for myself. If you'd like, I'll be
happy to share some of what I've learned with you.' It might work,
but don't count on it. It just simply depends on where the other one
is, and as we have said before, you cannot change that one's course,
you can simply offer them the opportunity to enjoy the same Light, and
the same Love that you do.

"Now this opportunity is something that we have been offering quite
regularly to the governments of this World. And we are happy to
report that more and more governments, and more and more leaders
within governments; it's not necessarily unanimous, but there are more
and more leaders within governments, who are seeing that Peace, and
Love, and reaching out to their country people, and to indeed the
entire world, wanting to be better neighbors, wanting to be better
stewards of the responsibilities they have. This is happening all
over the world..."
