Fallen from Grace, or Embraced by Grace?

Fallen from Grace, or Embraced by Grace?

The condition of the human race-

It Should be about the “Embrace” of Grace!

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner.


Truthfully, we need to answer God’s call for peace and love! The human race has fallen from grace and lost its humanity! If not now, when? Thousands of years! Thousands of opportunities! And still, we do not grow and evolve in our spiritual essence, which is God’s intention for our creation! It is why we come here  from our heavenly existence.

The link between that plane of eternity and our earthly existence is acknowledging what our purpose is and executing the c0created destiny plan.  Somehow, we just can’t seem to express our divinity collectively!  We lose each other and judgment becomes the core of how we relate to each other.  Judgment does not yield healing and without healing there is no transformation and growth. 

I think one of the missing links is our inability to look beyond our cultural rituals and practices for answers on how to heal and sustain the “goodness” and “gifts” that are inherit in our design.  Do we see people from what they demonstrate merely by their physicality, what they expound verbally, or by their outward behavior? 

There is so much more involved in “who” we are!  We need to search for and care for the “soul essence” of each other.  It starts during childhood and must be nurtured throughout our lives.  It is like “catering” to our humanity in each other.  Serving each other daily with love and attention.  Calling each other out when we have missed a step in our gait that does not serve us well. It is engaging with one another, praying for each other, being a safe place for one another.  I guess I say this a lot in my “notes to humanity”,-blogging, but it is a message that is heavy on my heart. 

 I know we can make a difference in each other’s lives, and that by doing so we are planting the seeds for a better world for our children.  I found this picture on Facebook, and it stays with me in my dreams and prayers.  I believe the principles of this ritual holds a key to healing and guiding each other through those events that make us feel that we have “fallen from Grace”. Can we offer the “embrace of Grace”, instead of the stigma of “Falling from Grace”? Think about this please and let’s engage in a conversation!

In certain regions of South Africa, when someone does something wrong, he/she is taken to the center of the village and surrounded by his tribe for two days while they speak of all the good he/she has done. They believe each person is good, yet sometimes we make mistakes, which is really a cry for help. They unite in this ritual to encourage the person to reconnect with his/her true nature. The belief is that unity and affirmation have more power to change behavior than shame and punishment. This is known as “Ubunta”- “humanity towards others”.  Can you imagine parenting with these principles?

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Simple Elements on How to Create a Beautiful World!

Eleven Elements That Are the Ingredients to Sustain Our Humanity- According to the Dalai Lama

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

📌 Dalai Lama Quotes: On February 25, 2014 I had the pleasure and honor of hearing the Dalai Lama share his wisdom with us on what we need to be in the world. These are my reflections to his wisdom.

Date: February 25, 2014 

Subject: Dalai Lama Quotes

1. Be kind whenever possible.

1a. (Beth Evans adds: This involves practicing being your highest self which is a life long discipline and promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being.)

2. In the practice of tolerance one’s enemy is the best teacher.

2a. ( I have an aversion to the word tolerance as being a misfit in terms of the divinity of the human design. I think that compassion for those that live in a space that is not their highest expression and puts them at odds with other fellow “human beings” requires us to step away from fear and judgement and respond with compassion and to hold an intention for them that they release their fear and sense of “not being enough” and embrace the fullness of being loved and accepted for who they have the potential of showing up as”. This is the practice of “allowing”.


3. Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries, without them humanity cannot survive.

3a. (Beth Evans adds: Cultivating humanity in ourselves and supporting it in the growth and development of others is really our divine purpose. The tools of love and compassion not only support humanity on a global level, but leads to a happy and enriched life for those that utilize these tools on a daily basis!)


4. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

4a. Beth Evans adds: Peace is a state of mind that wells up inside of us and gives us the ability to live in the present

5. In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.

5a.When we carry a positive attitude and identity, we create a positive environment and responses with infinite possibilities for goodness.


6. I am just one human being.

6a. (Beth Evans adds: But imagine that your potential to create beauty, love, joy, peace, justice, compassion, and live a life of integrity is only defined by what you can imagine and commit to manifesting-you could positively impact the world and fulfill your divine purpose!)


7. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

7a. We are born into this world as “goodness”  being the identity of our souls. Our roots grow deep throughout  our lives.


8. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

8a. And if you can’t help them at least don’t hurt them. 


9. If you want others to be happy practice compassion.

9a. You must first be compassionate and gentle with yourself in order to know how to be compassionate and gentle with others.


10. The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.  

10a. (Beth Evans adds: The art of talking or communicating involves listening attentively with an open and receptive mind. The art of communicating successfully is one of the greatest gifts in the human design. Once activated respect, understanding and compromise come into play which promotes resolution and positive relationships.


11. When you practice gratefulness there is a sense of respect toward others.

11a.We must live our lives from a place of gratitude in order to see the blessings we have received.

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression on yet another beautiful sunset of your life’s journey.   May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#6 Our Collective Human Expereince-Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.

Listen-Reflect- Receive

Looking to Our Ancestors for the Answers

Our Collective Human Experiences

These are my “Clouds” today. I see them clearly posing their majesty above our human constructs.

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

 “Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

In this world where we struggle to find common ground, common interest, common values and the ability to communicate effectively with one another, maybe this experience or practice of “Cloud Watching”, could be connected to some of the ancient traditions and used as a means of connecting us, or for some cultures, reconnecting us to “Source”.  Maybe it is a simple practice that lends itself to calling us to “Stop”, “Look” and “Listen”, to more nuances of wonder and beauty in our life.

 Maybe we can come to an understanding that “Source” – “Great Spirit” is trying in a multitude of ways to “Get our Attention” or “Show us how we are not alone on this journey, that there is love and protection operating in our life, but that we are not “Still enough” or “Cognizant enough” to recognize and appreciate the signs or messages that are every present with us.

We have to be intentional about making a sacred time and space to go into communion with “Great Spirit” so that we don’t miss the messages or confirmations that “Great Spirit” has for each of us as individuals and as a collective humanity.  I really believe when you live a life grounded in gratitude, everything in you and around you looks and feels different from the super imposed illusional life that the systems and fraudulent elements of this world try to suck us into.  It is living from this vantage point that we find each other and begin to find common ground on which to build a communicative, compassionate and humane humanity. 

Find your sacred space and time today.  Find your “Cloud” to gaze at and in that moment listen for the still quiet voice that rises up within you to communicate with “Great Spirit”.  Trust me, you’ll feel a peace that surpasses all human understanding, and a joy that feeds your soul. 

Remember-May we remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
