Today I met up with a Homeless Outreach group and we went around Balboa Park, here in San Diego and handed out water, food and toiletries to the Homeless people in the park.
It reminded me of how important it is to stay aware and offer the little things to our brother and sister. It was such a beautiful thing to see these beautiful souls light up, when we approached them and offered them unexpected gifts. It completely made their day or even their week.
But more importantly than the 'stuff' we gave them, it was the acknowledgment that touched their heart. To have someone look them in the eye and smile. To have someone acknowledge their humanity. That is what helped them light up. I could feel their energy vibration raise.
I walk around different areas here a lot, by myself, and observe people. I love to people watch. And I often observe how people react in the presence of a homeless person. They look down or look away. They walk a little further out of alignment with the path they were walking, to not get too close. It is sad, but it is very common.
We must practice the awareness to remember that ALL human beings are our brothers and systems. You do not have to give them money, if you don't want to. But at least acknowledge their humanity. Acknowledge that they are ONE WITH YOU. We are all one! We are all connected.
I highly encourage you to start breaking yourself out of the small box of your individual reality and start expanding your awareness to a greater scale. Release your beliefs of separateness and mistrust of people. Start recognizing that we truly are all ONE. Start to look other human beings in the eye with a smile and acknowledge the beauty of their humanity and the beauty of their inner Soul.
With just one act of acknowledgment and appreciation with a smile and eye contact can completely shift a persons energy and change the course of their entire day and quite possibly their entire life. I know that may sound crazy that a moment of eye contact with a smile can change a person's life. But it can! That energy shift will change what they attract that day, and they may attract something or someone so powerful, it will change the course of their life. Begin to acknowledge and appreciate ALL of your Brothers and Sisters.
YOU ARE LOVE! I AM LOVE! WE ARE ALL LOVE! Help others recognize and connect to their truth, which is that they are LOVE!!!!
Health, Wealth and Love!

Never Judge A Person By Appearance
Never judge a person by
their appearance.
A lot of times we immediately
put judgments, form opinions
and think that we know something
about someone just by the way
they look, how they dress, the expression
on their face, etc.....
When you release your opinions and
judgments of people and see the God
within them, people will amaze you.
I had a wonderful experience last night.
I met up with a group of about 10 or
so friends last night. We like to get together
and have "Higher Vibration Conversation".
We were at an outdoor plaza, it was about 10pm.
There are comfortable couches and chairs outside,
and we all sit and talk about spirituality, how
to do good in the world and philosophize about
life.
As we were sitting there, there was a gentleman
hanging around, close to our group. He looked
as though he was homeless and intoxicated.
It was natural for me to feel compassion and love for
him, as one of my brothers. I wanted to go over
to him and invite him into our group. However
my mind jumped in and made assumptions,
like he wouldn't be able to relate to our
conversation or he wouldn't be interested
in what we were talking about. So
I just sent him loving energy and let him be.
There was an open chair to my right. The
gentleman ended up coming right over to me,
sat down and started talking. We ended up
talking a couple of hours and it was a
most interesting and fascinating conversation.
We talked about very deep and important content
that resonated very much with some of my major
interests.
He appeared to be in his mid 50's. He was very
intelligent. He was basically homeless by choice,
he stayed with his parents sometimes, but
other than that he roamed the street, went
"dumpster diving" and absolutely enjoyed it.
His name is Clyde. Meeting Clyde and talking with
him for those few hours was an incredible blessing
that I am extremely grateful for.
See the God in everyone and be open to
finding out who a person truly is, before
you place judgments, form opinions and
think that you know who they are. You
may learn something that can transform
who you are.
