“You don’t have to become the storm. You don’t have to absorb the storm. It helps a great deal if a person can stay in that love and compassion consciousness on a daily basis—doing some kind of ritual involving forgiveness and gratitude.
If you can create a space in yourself to meditate on the good; on love, then you can hold the space of love and compassion for others to join in with you. When you practice this you will gradually be able to more and more recognize negativity and not be influenced by conflict. You can regard them and say: ‘Oh, those are the angels of the negative’. Not learning how to hold the space of love and compassion is the lazy approach,” continues Kuan Yin. “You just need to practice the above Focused Intentions. If you can achieve this kind of inner peace, you will be very valuable once you leave the earth plane and going on to other places, realms. Please always replace the word “evil” with “negative”. When you accomplish these things; really focusing on love and compassion, you can then become a wizard.
When communities are formed around such concepts, then you have the beginning of something very powerful. You can help endless souls. Everyone wants to be loved. That’s all they really want. That is the human condition. ~ Kuan Yin”

But, give unto Caesar that which is Caesar`s. When Caesar says drop bombs on christian babies in Berlin, or Muslim babies in Iraq, it`s okay. When Caesar says open your borders to tens of millions of dark immigrants, or to bus your children to jungle neighborhoods, or to accept legalized pornography an the abortion murder of babies, then it is Caesar`s responsibility, not the Christian`s. So don`t concern yourselves.”
