Changing Channels

How to be more loving during each day? How to be the best person that I can be? There is a plethargy of negativity in the world. Are the spiritual the only potential obstacle to this darkness overtaking the human population? Is it my responsibility to be the light?

What would happen if everyone I visually see during the day, I simply blessed on their way? Not out loud of course, but in my mind. We are all holy people after all, albeit distracted and sometimes overwhelmed by the scripts we carry. What would be the effect, if any, if I took on the responsibility of being a reflection of Grace in the world, and not a reflection of the vaccuum of narcissism?

This is such a simple practice that changes the channel from sensing people as 'others' to relating to them. I have never found it to fail that when I go through my day blessing everyone, silently, I notice that my walls and masks dissolve, and that because I am focused on blessing, and not placing a value or judging (reacting) , that I don't create the negative emotional situations that trespassed on my peace.

Perhaps if enough people like me reinforce the idea that silently blessing others works not only for them, but for ourselves (making us more affective and loving), then we could start a mini revolution of light. Would this not be a better way to use my perpetual creative energies that I either bless or pollute the world with? It would be nice to know there are many out there trying to kick down the darkness.
