whatever is needed &#8211; instead of opposing all that is loving and good in our world!\u00a0 We will know we have succeeded in mastering our own darkness more fully\u00a0when the outer darkness dissipates.\u00a0 Thank you oppositional forces!<\/p>\n<p>Still, we may need to take action, but let us do so from a place of unity with\u00a0and trust\u00a0of the unconditionally loving force of the universe.\u00a0 All this writing about forces reminds me of my new term &#8211; the Force of Unity &#8211; please\u00a0join me with an open heart which is the connector that\u00a0allows spirit to act in the world in a little spiritual work!<\/p>\n<p>Let us open our hearts to the\u00a0essence of truth of the\u00a0Higher Power and, letting go of all judgment and agendas,\u00a0ask that the unconditionally loving\u00a0Force of Unity\u00a0flow into the dark places within our hearts and minds, and within our families, country and world!\u00a0 Ask it to flow between us and the darkness, being a presence of healing, peace and resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Then\u00a0let&#8217;s relax and\u00a0experience the peace and joy\u00a0of this Winter Solstice\/Holiday Season.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings and all my love, Eve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am writing you today on Winter Solstice, though you will read it the day after.\u00a0 We have just passed through the longest night of the year and have 6 months of increasing light ahead!\u00a0\u00a0Though the shift isn&#8217;t noticeable in &hellip;
