The Desert of Deception: How Not to Drink the Sand – #Inspirations for #Peace

It’s hard right now.

Let’s face it: in a world that is currently filling up with darkness, hatred, rage, exploitation, and manipulation, it’s hard to keep the light shining. I’ve been looking for a way to do that for the past 2 months because I’m drowning in all the negativity flooding our social media and the news everywhere I look.

So, how do we stay afloat in this tumultuous ocean of negativity that’s rising and rising and rising around us?

I wish I knew.

I’ve been searching for positivity — joining spiritual and uplifting Facebook groups, even creating one myself. I’ve been watching videos from spiritual leaders like Lorna Byrne (if you haven’t heard of her, I highly recommend looking her up). These things help — they’re like sips of water in a spiritual desert. But it’s hard not to drink the sand when you’re dying of thirst.

Drinking the Sand

There are a lot of people out there who are drinking the sand. I can’t quite understand it, even when a certain person who shall remain nameless in this post lies, hurts others by firing thousands of people, is caught lying, and then lies some more to justify those lies; who stands there and says, I’m canceling funding for cancer research while at the same time trying to show himself a compassionate person by using people who have been hurt to prop up his own propaganda… It’s more frightening to me to see the number of people who still believe this man than the man himself!

Would You Accept This?

Let’s look at it this way: if someone came to you and said I’m going to help you and then punched the person standing next to you in the face while telling you they deserve it, would you allow him to do that?

Would you allow him to do it again and again and again until it feels like the norm?

This is precisely how abusive relationships work. It’s how cult leaders gain power. And it’s exactly how this particular cult leader rose to power.

“Cult leaders use deceptive psychological techniques to influence devoted followers’ behavior, thoughts, and emotions.”
— Steven Hassan, PhD, Freedom of Mind

This Is Cult Behavior — And We Need to See It

While my intention wasn’t to delve into the psychology of cult behavior, we must recognize the reality. This is a cult, and those who support this man are members of his cult, just as surely as those who followed Charles Manson. They believed they were following a savior.

They weren’t.

He led them down a dark, destructive path — and this current leader is walking the same road. The heartbreaking reality is that those who follow him can no longer see the truth. They’ve been manipulated into blindness, and they can’t even recognize that they’re lost.

That’s why it’s so important that we don’t respond with hatred or judgment. They’re not our enemies. They’re our fellow human beings, caught in something they don’t fully understand.

Shining Light in the Darkness

So, how do we continue to shine the Light of Love in this time of darkness? How do we stand in the storm with open arms and say, “I’m here, and I’m not going to hurt you”?

It’s tempting to lash out — to say “I told you so” or to lay blame- but that only adds to the darkness. Instead, we need to choose something radically different. We need to choose love. We need to be ready and willing to embrace them as a brother or a sister, and to do what Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory might do: pour them a hot beverage in their time of distress and listen.

Because if we don’t, we’ve become as dark as the darkness around us.

Steps Toward Connection and Healing

It starts with understanding. If we want to reconnect with those lost in the desert of deception, dying of thirst and drinking the sand, we need to remember they didn’t choose to be manipulated. They were led there—step by step.

Here are a few things I’ve learned about how to approach these conversations with love and care:

Avoid confrontational topics — Instead, focus on areas of common ground where positive connection can grow.Be ready to listen — Sometimes, people just need someone willing to hear their story without judgment.Remind them of your shared history — Talk about the memories you’ve built together and the connection you miss.Use “I” statements instead of accusations — “I feel concerned” lands better than “You’re wrong.”Offer gentle alternate perspectives — Planting seeds works better than trying to tear down walls.Don’t overwhelm them with information — Too much, too soon, especially if it challenges their worldview, will only make them defensive.Above All: Remember Love

Where do we start? With Love.

Love loves. It loves them, it loves you, it loves me.

This is what we should strive to practice — even if it’s imperfect, even if all we can offer is a single, hesitant gesture of kindness. Love doesn’t ask for perfection, only presence. In the quiet moments — a deep breath instead of an angry reply, a soft smile offered through the hurt — the light keeps shining.
Because every flicker of light matters.
And sometimes, the slightest flicker is all it takes to show someone there’s still water in the desert.

A Meditation to Remove Barriers – #Spirituality and #Hope

 

In these hours of darkness, it’s so important to keep positivity alive within us.  Because of this, I wanted to share this gentle meditation that will help to remove the barriers and blocks we unconsciously build around ourselves, blocking the Love, Peace, and Joy we truly deserve.

 

Loving Universal Light,
I ask that you gently remove anything preventing me
form loving myself
and others unconditionally. Help me to believe in myself
wholeheartedly and consistently.
Clear away anything keeping me from joy,
peace, blessings, and success.
Gently break down the barriers
I place around myself and my
blessings in moments of fear or doubt.
Guide me to release my pain.
Teach me to live in the moments of joy
that fill my life and to be open and ready
for more.
I release any barriers or blocks
that are not built upon Love
and with each breath
draw into my being
Love Hope Peace Joy and Success.

 

In Love,

~Morgan~

Faith Is a Rebellion – Choosing #Love in an Age of #Chaos

When Darkness Strikes, Faith Must Rise

In times of upheaval, it’s easy to feel like the world is unraveling. Daily news headlines remind us of division, corruption, and cruelty. Each event pulls us deeper into the spiral of outrage and exhaustion. Fear thrives in uncertainty; right now, uncertainty seems to be our only certainty.

One of the clearest examples is dismantling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives — a direct attack on efforts to ensure fairness, representation, and justice in workplaces and communities. Across institutions, laws are being rewritten to erase protections for marginalized groups, silence discussions of equity, and shift power further into the hands of those who already hold it.

This is how oppression works: take away rights, rewrite the narrative, and convince people to be afraid of progress itself.

The reaction is natural: rage, frustration, despair. When faced with injustice, we want to fight back, but what if we’re fighting exactly how darkness wants us to?

What if the real rebellion is resistance and steadfast faith in the power of love, unity, and action?

“Attacking people with disabilities is the lowest display of power I can think of.” — Morgan Freeman.

The Trap of Fear — Why Darkness Wants You Angry

One thing to remember is that corrupt leaders do not fear your anger. They expect it and feed on it. They create policies and narratives designed to provoke, knowing that outrage keeps people distracted, divided, and exhausted. We have no energy for meaningful change when we constantly react. We are too busy being angry to build anything more substantial.

Think about it:

Why do these policies always come with sensationalized rhetoric?Why do leaders frame inclusion as a threat rather than an opportunity?Why is there so much effort to stoke resentment and division instead of real solutions?

Because fear is currency — and it’s one of the oldest tools of control.

Fear breeds hopelessness. It makes people turn against each other. It makes them so overwhelmed that they stop believing change is possible. The more we allow despair to take root, the easier destructive forces can tighten their grip.

But here’s the truth: You don’t win a battle against darkness by becoming it.

The greatest act of defiance in an era of fear is faith — not blind faith or passive faith, but an active, unwavering commitment to something greater than the chaos around us.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

Love as Resistance — The Most Powerful (and Unexpected) Weapon

As a form of resistance, love is a powerful and unexpected weapon. It’s not a retreat from reality but a refusal to let reality steal your light. An act of war against division and the conscious decision to meet injustice with action, not just reaction. Resistance Love means standing firm in the Light and not being consumed by rage. It suggests building, uplifting, and creating when destruction feels easier. This is the power we hold, the power of love to resist and overcome.

This is not about silence but about strategy. We cannot change a corrupt system with the same energy that fuels it. We will only strengthen the cycle if we respond to hate with more hate. Instead, we must fight differently.

We must love louder.

We need to amplify voices that are being silenced.

Refuse to accept the lie that all is lost.

Turn fear into fuel and use it to create something lasting.

Faith, in its purest form, is an unshakable belief that darkness does not get the final word.

“Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.” — Denzel Washington.

How to Rebel with Faith Instead of Fear

So, how do we turn faith into action? How do we ensure that love becomes our resistance?

1. Control Your NarrativeStop allowing the people who seek division to dominate your mind and conversations.Refuse to give more energy to destruction than to progress.Shift your focus: who is doing the work to uplift and rebuild? Amplify them. Support them.2. Be the DisruptorResist the urge to spread negativity without purpose. Don’t fill social media with your anger…fill it with hope!Call out injustice, but don’t just complain — offer solutions, rally support, educate.When the world says, “Be afraid,” respond with courageous joy, creativity, and unity.3. Take Meaningful ActionSupport organizations fighting for equity and inclusion.Engage in activism but from a place of strength, not despair.Invest in your own growth and leadership — the more empowered you are, the stronger your impact.4. Protect Your Inner LightFaith is a practice. It is not something you “have” or “lose” — it is something you choose every day.Guard your peace as fiercely as you fight for justice.Prioritize spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being — because a burnt-out warrior cannot win any battle.

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — Gandalf.

The Final Stand — A Call to Arms

The world does not need more rage without direction. It needs people who refuse to surrender to despair. It needs warriors of light, people who resist the darkness and actively create a new reality.

Think of the leaders who have truly changed history — the ones who stood against oppression, injustice, and division.

They did not win by mirroring the energy of their oppressors.They won by standing in a faith that could not be broken.

 

Leaders Who Changed History by Fighting Oppression & Injustice1. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968) — Civil Rights LeaderFought against racial segregation and injustice in the U.S. through nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience.

📖 Quote: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

2. Nelson Mandela (1918–2013) — Anti-Apartheid Revolutionary & South African PresidentImprisoned for 27 years for fighting against apartheid, the South African system of racial segregation.Established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, promoting healing rather than vengeance.

📖 Quote: “I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”

3. Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) — Leader of India’s Independence MovementHis philosophy of peaceful civil disobedience influenced future leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

📖 Quote: “You may never know what results come of your actions. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”

4. Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1931–2021) — Anti-Apartheid & Human Rights ActivistSpoke out against South Africa’s apartheid system, earning the Nobel Peace Prize (1984).Advocated for reconciliation over revenge after apartheid ended.Pushed for LGBTQ+ rights and global human rights efforts.

📖 Quote: “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”

5. Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) — Human Rights Advocate & First LadyChair of the U.N. Human Rights Commission, helping draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).Advocated for racial equality, women’s rights, and social justice long before they were prevalent causes.Redefined the role of the First Lady by being politically active and outspoken.

📖 Quote: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Faith is not easy. It is not passive. It is not naive.

Faith is a rebellion.

It is looking at the wreckage of the world and saying: I will not give in.

I will not fall into hate. I will not be broken.

Darkness only wins if we let it.

It does not get to have the final word.

We do.

Love in a Darkening World – #Thoughts for #Inspiration

Fear and the unquenchable lust for power have long driven humanity’s most destructive choices. History is littered with the remains of societies crushed beneath the weight of ambition, greed, and control. When power becomes an obsession, it tramples everything in its path—dignity, kindness, truth. It devours, leaving behind only suffering in its wake.And yet, love remains.Love does not force its will upon the world. It does not demand, consume, or conquer. Love simply is—standing quietly, waiting to shelter the injured, to mend what has been broken, to offer a hand when all else has been stripped away. While power may take, love gives. While power divides, love unites.In these dark days, as shadows lengthen and freedoms erode, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Fear tells us to retreat, to hoard what little security we have left, to turn against each other in the struggle to survive. But love whispers another way. It urges us to hold tight to one another, to refuse the lie that we are alone.The night may deepen, but it will never extinguish the light we choose to carry.Now, more than ever, we must be lanterns in the darkness. We must become living beacons of hope, kindness, and courage. Not through grand displays of defiance, but through the simple, unwavering act of love—reaching out, lifting up, standing firm in the face of fear.When power seeks to break, let us be the hands that heal.
When division grows, let us be the voices that call for unity.
When the world seems lost to darkness, let us raise our light and remind it that love still remains.LOVE ALWAYS WINS.

How to Enjoy the Storms of Life – 5 Easy Ways to Shift Your Perspective

Rain. It is a beautiful thing.

There are so many types of rain and I couldn’t tell you which sort I prefer most (unless we’re including the fluffy, white, frozen variety that I love most of all, in copious quantities, as frequently as possible.)

It’s a lot like life.

We can’t control the rain any more than we can control the storms that roll across our paths. Neither can we control what kind of rain it is, how hard it falls, or for how long, but we can control how we respond to it. We can prepare when we see a storm rolling in so we don’t end up soaking wet and we can stand in wonder of its power, understanding that without it, without the storms that fill our lives, nothing would grow.

Storms in life are, at their core, very similar to their weather-related cousins. Some are small and easily weathered (pun intended.) Some are tricky and require skill to negotiate, while others are raging monsters from which we must find shelter. There are really only a few that are truly devastating; yet even when these turn our life’s journey upside down, family, friends, and even strangers will often join forces with us to defend and survive.

In order to survive the shifting weather patterns of life we only need to change our perspective about them. Simple enough to say, true, but viewing hurdles and obstacles in the same way we see a spring rain shower or summer thunderstorm can help us prepare for them. By learning how to categorize storms, we also learn how to deal with them. We know if we need an umbrella, a raincoat, spikes in our shoes, or if we simply need to stay inside so we don’t end up drenched.

Myriad Meteorological Milieu

There’s the light, misty kind of rain I tend to envision whenever someone talks about Great Britain. That type of drizzly, foggy precipitation that drapes the landscape, penetrating every crevice and enveloping whatever it touches in a hazy shroud. These pesky little storms can be deceptively inconsequential that don’t look like much until you walk out without your brolly. They also leave ten thousand beads of incandescent diamonds in their wake that sparkle and scintillate when the light reappears.

There’s the freezing drizzle or frizzle; a sinister variety of rain that usually arrives without warning and transforms the garden path, car park, or your front steps into a skating arena suitable only for Olympic athleticism. This category of precipitation doesn’t initially impress either, so you generally disregard it until you have to go out and then promptly wind up on your…..A-hem…. It’s that quirky classification of rain that warps and blurs everything into unrealistic, Photoshop-worthy deviations of reality that makes most of us grab our cameras to record and share the surreal, Dr. Suess-iness of it all.

There are many classifications of thunderstorms, as well. Those that pop up in the middle of a sweltering, summer day just long enough to make us all run for cover. There’s the kind that creates a lot of noise for a few minutes and then disappears into a haze of steam. There are those that roll overhead in the calm of the evening, fast and furious, full of sound and fury, (signifying nothing?) that do little more than make a mess.

Then, there are those magnificent, cacophonous, tempests that jar you from a sound sleep in the middle of the night with ear-splitting thunder and shocks of lightning that leave you wondering if you shouldn’t, perhaps, hide under the bed with the cat. We usually know these storms are coming, however. If we’re paying attention, we can hear and see them before they arrive. Although they make a mess, they also generate conversations and prompt us to do a little work after they’re gone.

There’s also the awe-inspiring, stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks kind of rain that makes you stare out the window in astonishment, forces you off the road in your car because you can’t see one inch ahead or behind. These are the tempests that make you wonder for a fleeting moment if there isn’t an ark being built someplace nearby on which you ought to be booking passage? Those torrential downpours of cats and dogs (and monkeys.) Sometimes we need help when these arrive; we need to take shelter or require some measure of bolstering before we venture back outside, but when we do, we’re stronger for them.

Then there’s the steady, pervasive, day-long kind of rain that sweeps over the earth, softly falling hour by hour, never flooding, never rumbling, never wreaking havoc. We can walk out in it and we aren’t buffeted about or sent careening off the road. This is the kind of rain that looks like a beautiful painting by Monet or Van Gogh. These rains often smell so sweet we inhale the scent of them deeply and can’t help sighing.

Shift Your Perspective

Dealing with life and all the chaos that goes along with it starts with a simple decision. Face the day with a positive outlook or a negative one. Though it seems a trivial notion, making this one choice will affect everything throughout your day. Positivity generates positivity. Like breeds like, but how do you actively choose a positive attitude each morning? Here are a few ideas:

Be thankful, even for the simple things like clean water, a safe home, and a warm bed. There are many who don’t have these things.Practice positive self-talk. It’s a proven fact that we generate what we verbalize. Telling yourself you can’t do something is self-defeating and will create the opposite of what you want. Say you can, you will, you are, even if you feel like you can’t, won’t, or aren’t. Test this out. It works.Forgive. There’s nothing healthy about being angry, resentful, or focusing on something that disappointed you. Forgive first. Forgetting may not follow, but it’s a step in the right direction.Help others, even in small ways. In this world of obliviousness and mania, doing a little something for someone else can be a huge surprise, not to mention a marvelous mood lifter.Smile. Did you know that smiling activates tiny molecules in your brain that are designed to fend off stress? These molecules, called neuropeptides, trigger your brain to release dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin. So in effect, when you smile, you want to smile 🙂Everything that lives needs rain.

The varied, shifting storms can take us by surprise, leave us staring in wonder, and, yes, sometimes crying because of the devastation they generate. They remind us how terrifying and wondrous life is. They nourish and promote growth. They cleanse and refresh, and renew.

By looking at life’s storms the same way we look at the rain, we may discover we just want to pull off our shoes, go outside, and splash in the puddles.

Are You Tired of the Darkness? A Motivation to Make a Small Change.

In these darkening days, many of us can clearly see the Frightening Parallels about Adolf Hitler and his rise to power in Germany and Trump’s New Order here in America. I share these not to fan the flames of fear, but to help motivate you into ACTION. What action? LOVE unconditionally. ACCEPT those who are different from you. LIFT UP others instead of demonizing them. SHARE HOPE through Positivity, Empowering, and Forgiving.

In 1923, Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government. He was tried, given a slap on the wrist and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of the “corrupt” Social Democrats.

Hitler positioned himself as the voice of the “common man”, railing against the “elites”, cultural “degeneracy”, and the establishment, who he labeled all as “Marxists”.

He claimed the education system was indoctrinating children to hate Germany, and promised to return Germany to greatness.
To solidify his base, Hitler scapegoated minorities for the nation’s problems, exploiting societal divisions with an “us v. them” narrative.

Many Germans took the bait. Hitler’s Nazi Party continued to gain traction until he eventually became Chancellor in 1933.

Hitler appointed German oligarchs as his economic advisors. He privatized government-run utilities, solidifying support of the economic elite.

With the working class divided along cultural and ethnic lines, the Nazis shut down workers’ unions and abolished strikes.

Progressives and trade unionists were imprisoned and sent to concentration camps. Corporate profits skyrocketed while working-class Germans lived pay check to pay check.

Hitler, who became a billionaire while in office, knew he and his clan of oligarchs could get away with this if they constantly had an “enemy within” to blame while the corporatocracy robbed the country blind.

Hitler removed birthright citizenship rights of Jews and started rounding them up for mass deportations for being “illegally” in the country.

Hitler quickly dismantled democratic institutions. Loyalty wasn’t just encouraged; it was demanded. Opponents were silenced. Media that dared to question him were vilified as “the enemy” and “Marxists”.

The Nazi regime and its followers collected all books they saw as promoting “degeneracy” or what would be considered “woke” today, and burned them in large bonfires. They also burned books that promoted class consciousness.

Berlin had a thriving LGBTQ community in the 1920s, and even had the first transgender clinic. The Nazis burned it to the ground. LGBTQ people were sent to concentration camps and forced to wear triangle bandages. Many were killed in the Holocaust.

Despite all this, the German people didn’t have a historical parallel to look to as a warning. Most Germans never acted like the sky was falling. Most just went along with their lives as usual, until many of their lives were snuffed out.

Now, having read the above points, substitute Trump for Hitler.

Are you ready to take ACTION? Join me in my new group POSITIVITY PATHFINDERS where we share LIGHT, HOPE, AND POSITIVITY Every single day!

Hope to see you there!

Where Love Walks – #InspirationalMeditations for Dark Days

.

There are so many in this world who are alone. So many who are sad, lost, hurting, and they may ask, ‘Where is God?’ ‘Why is there so much suffering?’ ‘Why are so many in need?’ ‘ Why does a God who is supposed to be all loving allow so much misery?’ ‘Where is the ‘Light of the World’?’

He/She/Universal Love is not as far away as we imagine, aloft in the distant cosmos, disconnected and unfeeling. God, whatever or however you think of God, is not some metaphysical apparition. God is Love; love is God. God is Acceptance, Acceptance is God. God is Empowerment; Empowerment is God. And yet, if God is all these things, why does He seem not to love? Why are there so many situations that are devoid of love? Why does it seem that darkness is closing in all around us?

I had an accident several years ago where I wound up in the emergency room. (A Segway accident while on holiday that resulted in several cracked ribs) After several hours of pain and tears, I was being discharged, and a woman was coming into the hospital at the same time. She was irate but also seemed sad at the same time, though her sadness was more challenging to see than the anger. She cursed at the security guards and said unkind things to the nurse helping me. The nurse apologized for her behavior, but I wasn’t offended by it. Instead I empathized with her and felt a deal of compassion for her. I wanted to say something, to share some measure of kindness with her. Some offering of love, but I didn’t….why I didn’t is an entirely different post….

I was very fortunate when the accident happened that sent me to the ER. I was with people who could help me and was surprised by how many strangers stopped to offer their aid, but the woman I met in the ER seemed to have no one. Little wonder she felt alone, and it’s not surprising she said she didn’t matter and that love doesn’t exist. I remained silent, perhaps because of my own pain, but I continue to think about her, even today.

And maybe that’s the point. Maybe all the terrible things that happen in the world are not examples of God’s absence; perhaps they’re an opportunity for God to exist in us at that moment, allowing us to share Love, offer Acceptance and Understanding, and Empower those around us. They abide in each of us, waiting to be shared. They reach out in the hands that tend to others selflessly. They pronounce themselves in kindness and compassion on all living things. They whisper of their existence through empathy, generosity, and patience.

Perhaps this is why so many are in need — not because Love/God/Light doesn’t exist, but to give us a chance to prove it does.

Wherever Love Goes
It Urges Mercy and Justice.

Whenever Acceptance Speaks
It Sings Kindly and Gently.

Whatever Empowerment Teaches
It Inspires Honesty, Truth, and Encouragement.

Whatever Empathy Gives
It Fills with Compassion and Generosity.

May these Gifts walk within us,
Speak through us,
Teach our Spirits to Sing Harmoniously,
And to Give Selflessly

So we may Never Walk Alone.

Rapturous Splendour – #Poetry of the #Night and #Dreams

.

Delicious hour of deepest Night

That Sings to my Soul in Whispers and Sighs;

Tabernacle of Heavenly Starlight

Beguiling more than Bliss ever tries;

While all the wanderers of this plane unravel

Amidst Dreams that taunt with enigmatic appeal,

Your Delicate Breeze through these tresses travels,

Kissing this cheek with Blushing Zeal.

Oh Sweet Enchantress, Dulcet Nighttide, Sing

Of All the Rapturous Splendour you Quietly Bring!

.

Positivity Pathfinders – A #NewGroup You’ll Want to Be Part of!

 

The world is filled with darkness, antagonism, intolerance, and fear. I want to focus on the LIGHT and being a force for good. Because of this, I’ve create a new group – POSITIVITY PATHFINDERS. A nurturing sanctuary where the light within each of us is celebrated and empowered. Here, we embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, uncovering the beauty of our true worth and purpose. Through the potent power of daily affirmations, we rewrite our inner narratives, aligning our hearts and minds with positivity, confidence, and love.
