Introduction

As much as I have written about metaphysics and mysticism in the past, my analysis of the innate topic here actually defies many pundit arguments that they belong in those two categories.

How do we save our world? Who is going to do it? Who is a threat to it? Are they the government or an affiliated form of organized intelligence?

Are you even remotely concerned about the destruction going on in our world? What about the destruction of it? When will our final days be? I've got news for you. The end is not near. The end is here, thanks to us all. Don't blame a scapegoat or nemesis. We are our own biggest problem. And it is up to us to save us. But unfortunately, where there's disorder and chaos, it becomes most difficult to distinguish the hero from the enemy.

That said, what about elusive cults, secret societies for the wealthy? What are their motives? Why the rituals? Why the secrets? What is their grand plan?

Surely people of prominence and power mix and mingle with each other, forming a group or "click" if you might call it, even developing bonds and private gatherings that are understandably no one else's business but their own. Just because the majority of the world population are not members, and many envy their wealth, fame and power, these select few are immediately branded "evil", "satanic", and countless other terms, based upon no solid evidence or reason.

Controversy. It's exciting to some and, like sex, it sells. Add a pinch of over exaggeration, along with a dose of drama regarding the "privileged elite" and you have yourself an intoxicating brew that provokes more passion, debate, and conspiracy than any topic I have ever encountered.

I'm far from being famous. Quite frankly, I wouldn't want to be. The few articles that have been written about me over the past few decades were never completely accurate. Trivial news, combined with blatantly false comments as well as bitter judgment by unreasonable readers, only ended up in utter babble worshipping jibber. At the end of the day, anyone who does not know me personally does not know me. The same goes for personalities that are prominent in the media.

So when many refer to stories about people that are either famous or infamous, you get confusion, error, and complete, sometimes unintentional nonsense, mixed in with possible facts that get lost in the original motive of providing substantial information. So how do you decipher fact from falsities? You don't. You just come to your own conclusions but should never judge or make an attempt at definitive judgment if it is beyond your scope of expertise and capabilities of proving.

Anytime anything cannot be absolutely and unequivocally proven to be correct, it is not a verified fact. When someone has done something wrong or questionable, yet the world fails to prove such, that person may or may not be right, but they can never be accused of being wrong. Anything questionable may be questioned, but again, without proof it is only hearsay and unworthy of merit.

Do you think only the rich are corrupt? Remember, there's corruption within the poor too. There's corruption everywhere. Just as there are underground groups for the rich, the same applies to the poor. Just as people secretively gather with ill intent, there are private organizations of individuals who wish to better our society as well. The who’s, what’s, where’s, when’s, and how’s will probably never completely be clear, instead always ever changing.

Natural disasters occur. Mass events leading to war and annihilation happen. These matters are beyond a group of alleged shape-shifters in medieval cloaks. Their existence would be powerless compared to the powers of the universe. What's happening to us is not black magic, my dear. It's called evolution.

Here are some facts, sans the paranormal element, that can perhaps shed the most effective enlightenment for all.

Power

Big business, people of astronomical wealth and power, yes they are in control of the economy and the world, to an extent. No one forces a certain food, drug, or activity upon us. We make choices in our life that inevitably make us in charge, not the world around us. In truth, we are the ones with power.

Companies follow a "trend" or necessity. Politicians take note of the "statistics". We lead them in making products and decisions. We are "the boss." These entities will not truly listen to us until we sing a tune of strength, education, empowerment and unity. We can be one yet still embrace our own rational choices and individualism. Why follow what celebrities do when you know deep down it is not for you? Why succumb to the thinking that others are in charge of our own personal choices and destiny when, in fact, we are the master magicians of our own realm? Open your eyes...

Philosophers do not supernaturally create wisdom. They merely document the thoughts that have already existed somewhere in someone else's mind.

Until one can "see," there is no path for one to take. Once others start to "see," and use the light from their own inner wisdom to take control of their own destination, the journey leads to an enlightened one.

We have the power. We must make choices out of our own free will. We must make decisions based upon our own higher intelligence and inner development. This is our right.

How can we save the world, this immense population, one person at a time? Start in your own self, your own home, your own community, then you will be onto something.

Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, magic is in the mind of the believer. We all have the power to make magic happen in our lives. Saving our world does not involve a miracle or a superhero. It involves us, each and every empowered individual combined.

Start with the basics:

Love

Here are a few excerpts about love from the "Loving Our Soul" chapter in my first book entitled "GODDESSY: Belief Is Only The Beginning..."

"Love is the most powerful emotion in existence. With it, one can capture the world. Without it, one can conquer the world. People who made history through their evil deeds have been known to have had a lack of love in their childhood. The truth is that without knowing how to love ourselves, we can never really and truly love anyone else properly."

"Soul love goes deeper than just plain love. It transcends time. It is eternal. It surpasses all other emotions and conquers any obstacles in its path. It is the purist, yet most evocative emotion in the world. And it is not only unconditional, it is spiritual. Once we begin loving our soul, we enter paradise."

As well as an excerpt from my novel entitled "Empress"

"If you try to get control over it, it will take control over you. If you try to make it work, it will make you work even harder for it. If you no longer believe in it, you will no longer believe that you deserve it. Here's to love, and the madness that comes along with it."

Love can be a book written all to itself. I cannot stress the importance of love enough in life. Without love, living beings become weak, angry and evil. With love, you can be omnipotent. You are capable of doing anything when you have love, even just love for yourself. Love is the most powerful and the most important emotion in existence.

If you know love, then you are wise. If you give love, then you behold the greatest gift. If you have love, then you know God.

Family

No one else is responsible for our family. We are. If you must rely upon babysitters, nannies, hired help, or daycare, fine. But play an active role in raising your children. Our children are the future of our society. If we cannot save it, they can. Raise them to be the best they can.

The key to our future is often in our past. Don't forget those who are already rich in wisdom. Be there for your elders. How can you not care? Really, be there. No career, goal, setback, or any other distraction is as important as a loved one.

Livelihood

Whether you own a business or clean the floors of one, your job matters. We all deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect, regardless of our "title" or position. Any job that does not involve stealing from or hurting another living being is an honorable one that everyone should be proud of, especially if you are working to support your family. If you stay home to take care of your children, you have a very important job as well. Without you, your significant other would not be able to successfully venture out daily to provide for everyone. We can all play a part towards a greater livelihood.

Food

Stop eating garbage. Research healthier, more natural foods without the toxic ingredients and chemicals, then buy those products instead. Too expensive to eat healthy these days? Not really. That is just an excuse to eat junk. Don't buy into what marketers are getting paid to tell you. Buy what you can and once enough food manufacturers start to realize that they can no longer trick or peddle poison, they will stop selling it.

Healthcare

Do not believe everything people and companies profit in promoting. Stop allowing people who allegedly care about your health to inject you with the exact poison you do not want in your body, often including chemicals that are far worse. If it has a side effect, it is not safe or effective. The same that applies to vaccinations and injections also applies to prescriptions. By law, the danger of the product has to be written on the product. But unfortunately, not everyone reads it. What's even more tragic is the fact that people who do read the fine print often ignore it. Heal naturally. Stop taking medication and turn to pure herbs. Eventually, those pushing drugs will understand that they can no longer profit off of intentional harm and mass lethal experimentation.

Politics

I've never studied it closely and never plan to. One thing I can say from a basic point of view is that if you want to passionately criticize it, be an active part of the process to change it. And don't just be the change that you wish to see in the world, be the change that is necessary to make your world as well as the entire world better. Don't leave it in the hands of the public figures you object to. Join with like-minded individuals to peacefully and effectively bring about less corruption and greater humanitarian service.

Media

Stop feeding the beast. Stop buying into the gossip, smut, and negativity. It's not news, it's garbage. When the newspapers and magazines realize that their monster can no longer thrive and does not sell anymore, they will re-think their money making ideas and produce more positive, intellectual, relevant topics, from a more neutral perspective. We are in charge of this and everything else, more than we realize. If you don't want it in your home, don't bring it in your home. It's as simple as that.

News

Yes, there is a great deal of horror in the world, and the news channels certainly believe in drama-filled, overly negative, sensationalism to bring a picture of doom and gloom to your fingertips via the papers, internet, radio, and television.

There is a balance of good and evil in the world. Just not in newspapers. And these reporters are only bringing to you what, sadly enough, most of you want to hear. Besides, they are not orchestrating what is going on in the world. We are the society that they are documenting. We are responsible for the state of humanity, not them.

Be aware of current events, both tragic and triumphant. Read the news with moderation. And don't blame the billionaire founders of these organizations for too much propaganda either, when all you have to do is simply turn off their channels and not purchase their publications.

Absorbing all of that negativity will inevitably breed more negativity. People who commit such crimes that you learn about, only do so after filling their self with, and living by, the bitter concept of evil. Absorb it and it will become you. Learn from it but do not let it possess your world. Don't cause it and you will help the world to be rid of it, or as much of it as humanly possible.

Entertainment

Music, theatre, and other forms of private or social enjoyment are absolutely fine, even necessary for happiness. But hard core songs, screaming demonic noise or rapping of hate, greed, sex, and pure ignorance, only make these sick "artists" richer and the poor fools who fall for the "trap" more "in the dark" about a better life. Stay away from these venues, and not only will these "talents" either go away or change their tune, these "producers" will realize that it would be in theirs and your best interest to create quality entertainment instead.

Religion

My beliefs have intertwined with various beliefs, philosophies, and religions, many highly conventional to a few controversial. I have since evolved and, with age, hope that I’ve achieved greater wisdom. In doing spiritual readings and keeping true to the goddessy (a portmanteau of "goddess" and "odyssey") "spiritual journey," what exactly do I believe in today? The answer is not so black and white.

I've lived in the realm of what most people define "black" and "white", sometimes literally. I've worked and played amongst the good and the evil, rich and poor, intellectual and uneducated, religious and atheist, gay and straight, black and white, happy and miserable.

If I allow any group in the world to dictate my religion and beliefs in life, then all I do is mundanely exist.

I am the leader of my own life, with all the love, beauty, magic, and spirituality that enhance my world and how I live.

That said, what conclusion have I come to about life and spirituality? We have a lot of work to do if we want to change and save the world that we and our children live in...

God vs. Satan? Good vs. evil. If you don't choose "bad", then stay away from products and people that are bad for you. Try doing good deeds for loved ones and others, then you can be the change the world needs in order to be "saved."

Evil is only what we allow it to be, the darkness that some of us allow to enter our soul. It can die only when we choose to get rid of it. God, or goodness, comes from the energy within the universe. It is derived from the energy of our ancestors and enhanced by the acts of the true "believers" in the "light" today.

Prejudice

Stop the prejudice. Only when we come together and stop allowing evil to separate us will we be able to make a real difference for ourselves, our children, and the world around us. Stop the racism. Treat blacks, whites, people of other colors, like the rainbow. Once we come together, we will realize the beauty in the fact that, like a rainbow, we all belong. Gay rights, women's rights, civil rights. Stop fighting them and fight for them. We must be one. Once we become one, we can defeat the true enemy called hatred.

Vices

Drugs, pornography, prostitution. These, among others, are "crutches" that some might falsely believe to be pleasure, when in reality they are used to tempt the weak and ultimately cause society's destruction. If it's something you do not want your child doing, or if it bothers you to think that your mother or father might have done it, then it's something you should not be doing. Stay away from vices and, not only will you put these evil lords out of business, you will defeat them in their attempt to use, abuse, and destroy.

Corruption

Radicals and critics are so quick to judge the politicians and professionals, rich and wealthy. Greed, lies, and perversion are not just habits of a handful of elite, they are unmistakably the desires and hobbies of the weaker humanity too. Corruption does not discriminate. It includes the poor, uneducated, and repressed, often successfully tainting many of them. The greatest weaknesses are found in those types because they often resort to evils as an escape from the world they often complain about. Got a problem with your life? Change it. Or at least try to. And do so honorably. Leave others to tend to their own business and focus on improving yours.

Jealousy

With tremendous wealth comes tremendous responsibility. Self-made millionaires live more freely than old money heirs or new billionaires, so I will personally count my blessings there. Even if I had nothing or lived by humbler means, who is the free person really, when you think of the rich and all their ties and obligations?

Don't hate the rich, beautiful, or powerful. Money is not the equivalent to happiness. Surely you need it to survive, many should strive to honestly obtain it to live well, but it is not God. Neither is beauty. Don't dwell upon the superficial and do not depend upon an image in a magazine to show you an ideal. Empower your own self with the happiness you deserve and live your own life instead of reading or hearing about the alleged lives of others.

Happiness

Find happiness every day of your life.

Make someone else happy.

Envision your future. Call it wishcraft, if you may. If you want something wonderful to happen, there's no better, more powerful start than to develop it in your mind.

Imagine life beyond. If you think this is all there is and we are the only beings in the universe, then you are selfish and limited. It's not all about us. There is a greater scheme in things. Embrace a broader perspective about our existence and you might find yourself closer to achieving spiritual bliss.

Believe in eternal happiness. Sometimes when we can project an afterlife, something else when we leave this world, and what we deem eternal, we can get a greater perspective on why we are here and what this life will lead to.

Knowledge

Educate yourself. Open your mind and absorb the knowledge of ancient wisdom. Then use that information to improve yourself as a human being.

Educate your children. Give them the means to a better life and you will be enabling them to live well and effectively change the world.

Encourage others to educate themselves as well. Do not buy into the problem and you will not pay the price of prolonging the solution.

Revelation

There's no need to elaborate too much here because "the book of goddessy" is a revelation.

If the rich and powerful destroy everyone on the planet, then how will they continue to be rich and powerful? Who will buy their products and services? Who will do their laundry? Seriously, ask yourself how much sense would it make to destroy all of mankind and stop allowing simple minded conspiracy buffs who make money off of gullible people to convince you of such stupidity.

Judgment

If such a day comes, rich or poor, gay or straight, black or white, Jew or gentile, what have we learned? Not enough. We are so pathetic, we are not even ready to be saved. If such a day exists, a day where we will be judged in the midst of all the evil, destruction, and chaos, it probably will not come anytime soon. We truly have a lot more to learn. All of us.

Until then, why wait to be saved? Why not save ourselves and our loved ones now? Why don't we do what we hope a higher power to miraculously do and start making the world better now? Why be passive and wait for "someday" when "someday" can be now? Now!

God

No two people are exactly the same in physical, mental, and spiritual form, so how can we expect others to believe in one religion? And how can we expect one religion to be the one truth to justify the realm of humanity? In truth, all religions and faiths can be encompassed, under one order. We may believe as whatever we will as long as we do not impose any kind of threat upon or harm others. It is of our own free will that we should believe in whatever we choose to, without being called an "evil," "blasphemous," "devil worshipper," or worse. Those wishing or thinking people with other beliefs to eventually "die" in "hell," have hypocritically become the dark force that they claim to fear.

When one "points a finger" at someone, there is usually a hidden "mirror" at the end of their fingertip, by which that person is actually pointing to their own inner psyche. Rather than assuming and blaming another religion, or lack of religion, for the evils in the world, focus on your own belief system and do your part in bettering the world.

No one has power over you that you do not allow them to put upon. You can believe in God, but know God is within you, as you are your own orchestrator of your life.

Any religion that invokes fear and manipulation, rather than empowerment and the true meaning of happiness, is not a good one, no matter how popular it might become or what color schemed persona the clergy wear. And no religion is perfect or has perfected a standard essence of living. Life evolves. So do humans. Therefore, religion has to as well. Beliefs must change or at least adjust, according to the times, the events, and the needs of living beings. Persecution and judgment have no place alongside love and freedom, as long as those persecuted and judged have not caused proven direct harm to other living beings. That justifies a true holy war. Not for lust, greed, and imposing upon another's freedom.

Why has something so simple become so complicated? Because of the ultimate marriage by money and power, the sacred yet sacrilegious unity, both by those who have it as well as those who want it.

Why the cult controversy? Why the crooked mystery? Everyone should come together and dissolve the evil struggle that harms all of us, as even if we do not directly experience it, it has all of us.

Regardless of the difference and diversity that should be respected and embraced in the world, if the one common belief and value would be to not harm others and allow them to express their individuality freely, then we would dissolve the evil and cease the war.

Love yourself, love those you cherish, respect others regardless of how you feel about them. Easier said than done, which means this probably won't be done anytime soon by everyone because not everyone "sees."

If you gather anything from what has been said, remember, we can never be one until we all realize that we are many.

Conclusion

Yes, it's sad to think that evil, corruption, and deception exists in this world. In regards to government, there's surely more to the stories we hear so we cannot judge or attempt to think we have all the answers when we do not walk in their shoes and do not know the entire circumstances or predicaments they may be encountering.

One cannot save all. Few can save many. Empower yourself. Love your family. Protect all that matters to you. Help someone. Harm no one. We can make a difference in whatever ways that we can, effectively, which can help change the overall world that we live in.
