Mama Se, Mama Sa, Mama koo-sa

The other day, my girl's brand new car got keyed...at work. She was upset. I couldn't blame her at all. I was surprised that it happened at work. She told me that I'd be surprised at how much people hate on her. They hate so much that they tried to take away her joy by scratching up her car.

She's not the only person who has people "hating" on her. It happens all around us. I'm with Mary J. on this one..."Let's get it crunk, we gon' have fun up in this dancery...Don't need no hateration, hollaratin' in this dance for me." I wish people would understand that we don't have to "hate" on people doing well, moving forward, enjoying life, shining, giving their best, working hard, and achieving. It's terrible when people look at others and become jealous or envious of who others are or what others have. People need to break away from the ambient thought/noise that is infringing upon our consciousness (rephrased from Rev. Michael Beckwith of Agape www.agapelive.com).

Rev. Beckwith gave a sermon on a teleconference last week that really spoke to this situation. The ambient noise is the comprised of thoughts that there is not enough ________ (you fill in the blank) in the world; that we're not good enough; and that we are here to be consumers among other things. This noise makes us believe in scarcity (there is not enough joy, love, food, money, any/every good thing). The noise tells us that there is some flaw within us that we must overcome, overcompensate for and fix it. It brings us mental lethargy. The noise tells us regularly that we "gotta get all you can."

The truth is that we live in a world of plenitude. (It's not always distributed in an equitable manner, but there is enough for everyone.) There is something inherently right with us, not wrong. We are God's children. We are here as co-creators with God. In order for everyone to understand this, there has to be a shift of consciousness. The Bible says that it is done unto you as you believe (it's not about what others think!). We have to have a spiritual awakening. We have to believe that there is enough in the world for everyone. The thoughts of scarcity are from someone else (think about gas). We have to recognize that thoughts about not being good enough were planted by someone else. Those thoughts don't belong to us. We don't have to satiate the need to consume in an effort to avoid true feelings. We don't have to shop or eat when we feel bad, sad, upset, excited, etc. We, oftentimes, need to be still and know that we are fulfilled...right now.

Now, out spiritual awakening won't stop people from trying to steal your Joy or Light. When that happens, do as Michael Jackson suggests in Wannabe Startin' Somethin' and "Lift your head up high and scream out to the world...I know I AM SOMEONE and let the truth unfurl. No one can hurt you now because you know what's true. Yes, I believe in me, so you believe in you. Help me sing it...Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa, Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa" WOOOOOOO HOOOO! He he he! Help me sing it! Heeeeee he! Hee hee hee! Heeeeee He! Sing it to the world! Sing it out loud! Heee He!
