During a two week holiday on the Canary Island of Lanzarote, in June 2023, Trevor sat every day to transcribe spirit-inspired words. The following content is one of the collection of thirteen written during the stay. The photos are from Trevor’s collection taken during the duration.
DAY 13: A FINAL LESSON TO US ALL
|| This summary written on Sunday 27th August 2023
I wonder how many of us have wished the day would come where we would experience world peace? An end to all the wars across the globe. A world where politicians speak the truth, where the climate issues are being brought to an end, where poverty, homelessness, hunger, disease and decay are in decline, instead of on the increase.
Truth is, this is never going to happen. Well, not in most of our lifetimes anyway! There has always been many civil wars happening at any time in our history. Those in power have always abused their position. NIMBYism is a modern focus that everyone, yes everyone seems to adopt. Perhaps, as this speaker suggests in today’s powerful last set of words, we are looking in the wrong places for peace.
I can’t help but wonder if the problem with each of us attaining that peace we desire is in where we place our focus. I say these words now, only because I have had the privilege of transcribing the words in today’s session and know what the speaker is suggesting. I feel I agree completely with the sentiments and have been shown where my focus has been misplaced.
When you read the following words from the speaker, allow them to open a channel of reflection in your mind. I believe there is more to these words than just hollow sentiments of hope. They contain power, wisdom, direction and focus. I hope you experience those things too.
NIMBYism is a phrase given to describe people’s attitude to events they don’t want to be part of, happening near their home. Not In My Back Yard!
