The Cosmic Force - Angel Michael Oracles - #2 - The Oxford Speech

Heaven Leigh:

I'm not gonna blame anyone, not even God. I know that I have power. We all have personal power. I woke up wanting answers, but though the answers may be simple, the implementation is not. I can't change people's minds.

I am sad. That doesn't even begin to describe it. I am heartbroken over the horror in Connecticut. God, I was just talking about the sweet classic movie "Christmas in Connecticut" the night before this happened. Christmas in Connecticut will be dismal for many now, but these gunshots are felt around the world, not only in one town in one state of America. It is a human condition subject. All of us are affected, deeply.

So what can I do? Take the Archie Bunker approach to airplane hijacking where he suggested that we should "arm all the passengers?" Yes. Facebook is rife with these types of suggestions. *sigh*

No gun violence can be solved by more gun violence, can it?

I know there are real changes I can make. But I need to pour my prayers out for the victims parents and families right now.

Still I think about solutions and causes. I can't help that.

I guess the best we can do is to try to implement some simple everyday changes ourselves. I admit I am still in the "thinking about it" stages on some things that I have been wanting to do.

Michael - please help us. I was angry that you, an angelic spirit did not stop this tragedy before it happened. I honestly don't know how many others the angels do stop. Any at all? Is it just up to us to learn whatever these seemingly senseless acts are teaching us? Help. I don't want to think that there is just no hope anymore, that children will go on becoming more and more violent, more and more pressured by thousands of stimuli and societal expectations. What can I DO?

It's not the guns. Though there could certainly be smarter restrictions in a world that insists on the necessity of guns.The reasons are so much deeper. The core is not a matter of more laws, but rather issues of the heart and mind.

Children are killing children. Is the simple idea of looking into your child's eyes and saying, "I love you," such a simple thing that it seems irrelevant as a way to curtail rampant violence? Buy a video game instead. There's no time to even watch what the video game is about, right? You only hear the sounds of rapid-fire gunshots from their rooms. That isn't a clue?

You have to work. You work because you love them, but how do they know that? How do they feel it?

Where is the rage in our children coming from?

It is a matter of rage.

It is a matter of feeling ignored, unloved, misunderstood. You can't throw a Bible at their pain.

Violence is glamorized. So much money is poured into entertaining with violence. It is important to think about what this is doing to our children's spirits. Violence seems to be a quick clean solution. Movies don't show the aftermath. The funerals. The years of grieving. Movies are flashes of excitement. But our children's hearts don't crave flashes of excitement. They try to deaden the real pain with more and more fantasy outlets for their rage. It doesn't heal hurting hearts. It never will.

Changes are needed. Changes are coming whether you are part of them in a healthy way, or not. The innocent suffer and die to teach the apathetic. Yet the apathy continues. Blame starts and new laws are made.

It isn't really about laws at the core. It is about loneliness. A mass murderer is not born a mass murderer. Pain builds to an intolerable level, like water builds to a boil. Something's gotta give.

Grief is endless. All spirits feel it. It becomes part of our being. Yet joy is endless. Joy must win. Pain can lead to joy. It is a riddle and a paradigm that is possible only because we are all eternal beings. Those lost in your present, are still with you. We never lose each other, yet there are stages and phases to pass through.

We choose to learn. This is all part of it. There are easier ways to learn than watching our children die over and over.

When we are truly, truly tired of violence, it will end.

You will have what you choose to focus on.

Tell Hollywood you've had enough by not going to their movies that glamorize violence.

Tell video-game creators that you've had enough by getting something more meaningful to fill your child's stocking this year.

Tell your children's teachers that you appreciate them. Tell your children that they are doing well in school, and that it isn't about the pressure, pressure, pressure. Just do their best. Don't demand an "A" when what you really want is your child's inner peace of mind and self-worth. Not everyone learns in the same ways. Don't drive them to succeed at all costs. Re-think what success truly means.

Most of all - tell your children you love them. Look them in the eyes. Sit down with them and ask them about their day. How can you help take the pressure off of them, instead of demanding more and more from them?

The solutions are simple. Madmen are not born. Not everyone will respond to the pressures of life by aiming violence at others, but some will. You are witnessing that. You can make a real shift in this world.

They are all our children.

Simple changes will have lasting results.

All my love,

Michael
