The Courage To Carry The Flame Of Freedom

Friday, May 8th, 2009 by Debra Oakland

Do you have the courage to carry The Flame Of Freedom? It is time for Unity. A time for the damaged hearts and minds of people who would do or cause harm – to stop.  The fires of change have been lit.  Many people now carry The Flame Of Freedom in their hearts and minds.  Change is spreading quickly around the world.  Peace will become a predominant force that pushes at the borders of fear.

The human heart holds a space for miraculous things.  The heart is a doorway to the unbroken soul that can swing wide open when given the right direction.  Our future can be built on solid principles of truth, integrity, honor, courage, love, right action and anything that is a positive for the human race.  These qualities are of no small consequence.  This world is intended to shine as the true diamond it is.  There is light and brilliance under the surface of the darkness that many see in the world.

I intend to walk a smooth journey full of joy and happiness.  What is your intention?  Will you live a courageous life or one of fear? You will have to choose, for no one else can do it for you. Fear is not and never has been the answer.  We just forgot where our power is.  We each have a unique gift.  To wake up and remember who we really are.  We really aren’t broken, but we have been through tremendous pain and suffering as a planet.

Each and every person will have to turn the key to the doorway to freedom and peace by their own hand.  Everyone will choose a different time for this.  As this happens you will see changes everywhere and the momentum is building.  People are tired of being lied to and not feeling safe in a world that was meant to be a place of beautiful perfection. Changes are coming and they are coming very quickly. Let your inner peace, light and love translate to the outer world.  We really can live in a symphony of perfection.  Maybe not tomorrow, but soon.  A new dawn is here for all those who have The Courage To Carry The Flame Of Freedom.

Courage – How Easy Can It Be?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 by Debra Oakland

We learned about history in school – we learned about war, empires, great conflict, winning, losing and surviving. We learned about bad versus good. Did you learn about love? Did they teach us how to keep our bodies and souls strong in the light? How about courage, moral character, wisdom, peace, integrity? Did you learn about manifesting and abundance. I didn’t, not in school. Children spend all day in an environment that does not teach empowerment. Granted there are moments here and there, but for the most part, we learn social and survival skills to get by with in the working world. People have been led by the nose and taught what so called “Leaders” think we should know. There are layers and depths to this hierarchy of manipulation that most people don’t see or address. That is another story!

The bad guys can’t win forever. Corruption is being exposed at a rapid rate. The light will drown out the darkness. Be patient, it will be awhile yet before the darkness recedes. It is up to each of us, you and me to be the change we wish to see in the world and our lives. We are at a critical crossroads in history. Be the courage, be a powerful part of this historical shift on earth. I guarantee it will be worth the wait.

I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but here goes.  Throughout your day say many times “I Say Yes To Life” and “How Easy Can It Be?”  This works by allowing you to carry a feeling of ease, grace and comfort, which shifts your energy.  This then shifts your life and opens you up to new possibilities, because the word “LIFE” encompasses everything.  Now go out and enjoy you day.  How Easy Can It Be?

Have Courage – Release Resistance – Grab a Miracle

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 by Debra Oakland

Do you have the courage to let go of resistance in your life?  I think we all want to live as our authentic courageous self. We all have areas of our lives where we feel challenged daily. Ultimately there is a knowing as to where the resistance is, and how it is acting up in our lives. Take a look at it – go deep inside and really look at what holds you back. Walk with it, be with it.  This is something you can take your time with.  Don’t seek to measure this as something outside yourself, maybe the effect is something outside of yourself, but the resistance creating the condition is inside you.  When you find it, do you have the courage to let the resistance go?  When there is resistance to anything, there is not enough love. If you are choosing something, yet day after day you are challenged, there is not enough love.  Instead of feeding the resistance, teach yourself to surrender, and watch it turn into something beautiful.

Take the journey back to who you truly are. Are you ready to know that miracles, or what the world calls miracles, are the natural way of living life and they unfold naturally when you are in your higher power of love? Ask yourself, is there anything in me that can interfere with the unfoldment of my miracles? Ultimately the only thing that can interfere with a miracle is fear. What is this fear specializing in? Is it one of the children of fear, such as hatred, revenge, jealousy, judgment, doubt?  Resistance is fear. Miracles are a higher power that have an opportunity to act in our lives.  When you use your free will to fear, then that is a force in which the miracle coming to you, must stand aside and wait.  The miracle of you is waiting.

Trust your life, keep choosing love and you will experience what love – loves to fulfill.  This planet is craving beauty, magnificence, restoration of her elements and perfection.  When will the nonsense of destructive human free will stop?  When enough humans come back to their hearts and into love, this planet will change. The 4 elements ( fire, air, earth and water) will respond to this love.  Restoration will begin.  This planet desperately needs to heal, just as we do.

Thanks to the power of the internet, destructive individuals are being exposed.
Around the world people are connecting on common ground, even though many in positions of power have tried to separate and control us through fear. Keep your eye on love and peace, not just for yourself and your family, but for our world family.  Look at the bigger picture instead of the small details. It is our job to turn and face the light and have the courage to turn our backs on all that is destructive. When people of the world come together in peace and those we place in positions of power direct their influence for the highest and greatest good for all, the healing will begin on a global level.

Peace For All,
Debra Oakland

The Power of Peace

Monday, June 16th, 2008 by Debra Oakland

Most of my life I have waited for others around me to make the changes I wished to see in the world. I realize now that I am part of that change and have a voice for peace. It takes courage for me to speak out, which I will be doing on a more regular basis. Pleasing everyone is not important to me any longer. Nothing gets accomplished that way. Peace begins when we each participate. Here is my message to you today:

Let peace settle into each breath you take. Feel it. Hold this feeling deep inside of you. For only when peace is held in each moment, will your life transform.

The gift you desire to deliver to the world is the light you came here to shine. This world needs each and every one of us to stand tall in peace, shining our light. It takes strength and courage to break up the storm cloud of human discord that prevails in the world at this time. We have a duty to ourselves and each other to make this world a better place for all to live. You carry powerful light. You can direct your light wherever you want it to go. Humanity is crying out as never before, reaching for help, for freedom. There is a great mass pressure compelling people to come into peace and order.

Imagine yourself stepping onto a moving stairway of light. You walk up the stairway using your own effort as the stairway of light carries you forward. You have a power inside of you that carries you forward more powerfully than your own effort could ever do. When we align with that power inside of us, the gained momentum is tremendous. Call that power inside of you whatever you want, there are as many names for it as there are people. Call it Bob if you want, just identify it. The name is just how we identify or label for our own mental comfort. You know how many people feel the need to categorize or put things in a box. You can not put God (or whatever name you choose) in a box. Something that everyone has access to does not fit in any box or container. Back to the subject of light.

The light wants to expand, which will produce courage, strength, harmony, health, perfection, and more that life has to offer. Kindness and consideration (forms of light) to others is imperative if you want to bring peace into your life and then into the world. If you cannot have peaceful harmonious conversations over whatever points are being discussed, discontinue the conversation. You are not responsible for another persons thoughts and feelings. Take care of your own. You will unleash the power (light) inside of you when you are calm and peaceful.

If you want to walk around being negative, go for it. Just realize that you will experience the repercussions  that negativity will bring. You are solely responsible. You have the choice to close the door to your joy and miracles or open the door wide to access your greatness and everything that wants to come your way. I am here to experience life in all of its perfection, how about you? For each person that looks different, but if you can not participate, stay out of the way of those who do. Make every moment matter, they are more important than you realize.

Walk in the Power of Peace,

Debra Oakland
