In this solo episode, Rev. Celeste discusses the murders by police of environmental activist Manuel Estaban Paez Teran (The family of a 'Cop City' protester who was killed releases more autopsy findings : NPR), and motorist Tyre Nichols (Tyre Nichols case: 4 officers charged with murder are decertified : NPR). She also references the murder of Kaylin Gillis (What we know so far about the driveway shooting of Kaylin Gillis (nbcnews.com)), and attempted murder of Ralph Yarl (Ralph Yarl Deserves Justice Beyond What the Criminal Legal System Can Offer - Truthout) when lost. Celeste discusses the fear that prompted these murders. She also references a Facebook post by a minister friend: "If the news doesn’t influence you to pray, I don’t know what will.”
She states that a grievance contaminates, is a negative emotional energy that distorts your awareness of an event or influences the way you behave toward someone – even though the grievance occurred in the past. She notes how the venom of that un-forgiveness will cause dis-ease.
Celeste mentions the police officers in her life and the humanity of us all. Referencing Jesus' crucifixion, she invites us to let our Higher Self inform our lower-level thinking self. She recognizes what happens when you give someone the power to affect your happiness, and the imprisonment. She invites us to choose Freedom.
Rev. Celeste states that evil is an experience and experiences are temporary. What is necessary is that we get a lesson with every experience.
She invites us to release judgment and use the archetypes to recognize polarities and embody dynamic equilibrium as a deep, inner guiding factor.
Rev. Celeste notes the forgiving nature of God as Love and encourages us to let Love guide and direct us, do our forgiveness work and be free - now.
Celeste references Roger Teel's book, “This Life is Joy” about opportunities disguised as challenges. Crisis and opportunity are partnered so that we reach a crucial point in our lives as a catalyst for evolution.
She uses PEACE as the acronym: Powerful Energy Accessing Compassion Everywhere and reframes THEM as an acronym for “Those Hurting Evoking Me.” Rev. Celeste references Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith's book “Manifesto of Peace” about the soul pilgrimage of a vulnerable heart to authenticity,
She references a conversation with Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson where Celeste asks about Williamson's intentions regarding killing us with guns and killing our finances. And how Williamson replied that we will do it together.
We grow in God, and we are greater than we know. We are connected to one another by this Light of Love. The Spirit in me acknowledges the Spirit in you as we push through fear and embrace the magnificent possibilities for our lives. We radiate what we are vibrationally. Look around you and see who you have attracted.
She invites us to pay attention to the lesson. There is only one of us here.
The Creator is offering you more possibilities for your life. It wants your Joy, your Peace and your Divine Power to be completely expressed!
She uses the Gospel of Mary, where Jesus invites the disciples to seek the child of true Humanity within themselves and gain inward peace.
