I thought that this is so inspirational...I wanted to share it. I left up the preface so you know where it comes from...however, It is of course, universally applicable. Meditation, or prayer can be your path instead of EFT..lol!
Blessings, Linda

I gave some thought recently to EFT's future place in this world and how it can replace personal turmoil with personal peace. Properly applied, EFT's gifts provide enormous potential for worldwide improvement. In these thoughts, my mental meanderings took me to Martin Luther King, Jr's famous speech known as "I have a dream..." Then the similar words, "I see the day...." kept echoing in my head. This is the result.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I see the day when war and greed give way to peace and sharing. This will be the day when the swirling world finally rests and we can rejoice together. This all begins, of course, with personal peace ... forgiveness ... and love. World healing cannot happen without them. We cannot legislate or force peace anywhere. Militaries and threats thwart peace in the long run. They do not create it.

I see the day when we lay down our resentments and giggle about their senselessness ... when we remove the fences that separate us from our neighbors and rejoice in one another's presence.

I see the day when we greet each other with smiles rather than suspicion ... when our postman gets the same respect as a professional athlete and when newspapers have inspirational headlines instead of the doom that soaks up all that ink.

I see the day when our schools have eager students rather than hostile attendees ... when learning something new is an exciting "want to" rather than a go-nowhere "have to."

I see the day when our Presidential elections are no longer between candidates that echo "the same old stuff." Instead, I see candidates that will blow us away with their inspirational dreams for building a symphony of cooperation ... where love and respect become more important than the size of our homes.

I see the day when those exquisite feelings we get from helping someone else take priority over our quest for material possessions. Those feelings do far more for our comfort, self-image and personal health than any tangible possession imaginable.

Finally, I see the day when everyone else sees the day.

Love, Gary
