"Our shared humanity surpasses superficial differences. Collective effort and narrative challenge pave the way for an inclusive, equitable future. Embrace our commonality, reject conditioning, and dismantle the genesis of racism." Michael Corthell The innate understanding that we are all fundamentally the same is a concept children grasp effortlessly. Skin color, an obvious and superficial distinction, does not define our shared humanity. However, as children grow and navigate through society, they are often exposed to conditioning that attempts to convince them otherwise. This conditioning forms the basis for the genesis of racism, a deeply ingrained societal ill that persists to this day. Social Conditioning and Perception From an early age, children are exposed to a plethora of influences that shape their perceptions of race and ethnicity. Media, education, and even interpersonal interactions play a crucial role in perpetuating or challenging stereotypes and biases. These

  "Embrace love's magnetic power, for in its presence, fear dissolves. Through conscious intention and positivity, we sculpt our reality, attracting the affection and connections that will illuminate our life." Michael Corthell In New Thought philosophy , understanding the dynamics of attraction is paramount. While it's natural to acknowledge our fears, it's equally important to learn how to shift our focus toward attracting love and positivity. This article looks into the principles of redirecting our thoughts and emotions to manifest love instead of what we fear. 1. Recognizing the Power of Thought New Thought philosophy asserts that our thoughts are potent creative forces. They shape our experiences and influence the energy we emit into the universe. As author and spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle reminds us, "You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather." In other words, our thoughts are the driving force behind the reality we experience.

We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle, a light that can guide us through this darkness toward a safe and sane future. by Michael Corthell When we are confronted with very real hatred and violence in our world, the talk of peace or love can sound meaningless, ineffective, and sometimes even offensive. Racism and hatred are like powerful viruses that are seemingly impossible to destroy once they take root in a person's soul. Nearly every day we witness this destructive hatred in our world. It comes in many forms of violence against others, with mass murder being the most shocking. Sometimes I think hate, is stronger than love but then I realize that this is only a temporary illusion. Sometimes I get depressed when I see my fellow human beings try to destroy others because of their race, because of their religion, because of their gender, or because of their political views. Most of us are horrified by terrorism -- that people are willing to

''The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night. Mountain tall and ocean deep Trembling balance duly keep.'' — Ralph Waldo Emerson This stanza from 'Compensation' conveys the idea that time is a blend of contrasting experiences, marked by both light and darkness. The phrase "wings of Time" symbolizes the passage of time, which encompasses both positive (morning) and negative (night) aspects. The mention of "Mountain tall and ocean deep" suggests the vast and varied dimensions of existence. The imagery of "Trembling balance duly keep" underscores the delicate equilibrium that is maintained despite these opposing forces. Overall, the stanza highlights the duality and balance inherent in the passage of time and the world's diverse experiences. _____ ''The Universe always seeks to balance itself, in fact, it demands it.''  — Michael Corthell None of us can avoid the consequen

"Lemons symbolize the unexpected hurdles we encounter. But those who possess the power to transform them into lemonade hold the key to unlocking limitless possibilities." by Michael Corthell You have your positive mindset, and things have been going pretty well, but then things 'seemingly' start to take a turn for the negative. We've all experienced days when it seems that there's nothing but problem after problem. Days like these threaten our strong, positive mindsets and may, if not dealt with immediately, stop us from moving forward. We may even tell ourselves that we should have seen it coming. Maybe we did see it coming but didn't want to believe it. This can cause guilt. What do we do? The first thing is we accept these negatives as inevitable and don't panic. Then, we get back to basics. Understand: Everything happens for a reason and is temporary. Happiness in life is dependent on your approach to life, not what happens to you

"Zeal is the fire that ignites our inner spirit." by Michael Corthell Being enthusiastic about life is an essential requirement for leading a joyful, happy, and fulfilled existence. Enthusiastic individuals are universally appealing; their vibrant energy is contagious. We naturally gravitate towards those who exude passion, inspiration, and determination because they are effective doers who motivate and uplift us. ''Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.''    —Dale Carnegie Positive enthusiasm stands as your most valuable asset. It surpasses the value of power, wealth, or influence because it not only encompasses them but also brings forth even greater rewards. Merge this positive enthusiasm with faith and proactive initiative, and you're poised to revolutionize the world! Do you aspire to cultivate greater enthusiasm?
