Not our fault

Dear Editor,

It's not our fault. I am a St. Maarten born child. When I was a little boy St. Maarten was the friendliest place and as a result tourism was booming. Nowadays it has lost its touch a little, thus we need to get that back as that was the main reason why we had what we had. No need to focus on reasons where and when it all went wrong and on who and what.

It’s time to focus on fixing the issue. I can provide a starting point and the rest will be up to you my brothers and sisters. The only thing that’s warming this world up is the fact that people are using nasty words to each other. So this is where we must start. Positive thinking and positive words are the answer to saving the world, but no need to worry about the others; the focus must start with us as a whole. First we save St. Maarten and then this will be an example to the rest of our brother and sisters. People always say, think positive, but don't tell you how to stop the negative thinking.

So this is what you must do: every time you have a negative thought or use a negative word, you must say, I reject that thought and or word. Say out loud or silent but best is out loud. Because not knowingly the words we use and thoughts we have, we are actually performing magic. Say something jokingly and as a result it happens. Yes the words and thoughts we use actually work. So why not just use that knowledge to our advantage? Did you know that when you say to someone “F you,” what is actually happening is that you are putting a curse on that person and also sending a negative vibration to the world.

As a result, the negative vibration must and will return to you. Call it Karma if you like and as we all know, Karma has no deadline. So it works the same if you send positive vibrations to the world, the good must and will return to you. Have you heard of the tree of life? Focus on the tree and it must and will bear fruit. The tree represents you and the fruit represents money. How can a tree survive if the focus is only on the fruit, the tree must die. So let's put our hate and or nasty words in the trash where it belongs.

Did you know that God loves us all, yes all our brothers and sister, we are all one and the same, God’s children. He has made each and every one of us unique and I can prove it in one second. Answer this: Does anyone else on the planet have the same fingerprint as you? I think not, thus he has made all of us unique. Now think of this: is it not true that whenever you invite someone to your home, they are protected by you? I mean no man can mess with your invited guest right? At the same time, your guest must follow and respect your house rules right?

Now think of this: This is God's house and he only has 10 basic rules in his house. Would you say that a positive thinking human will go and steal or kill? I think not. So, it's safe to say that positive thinking is godly and happens to be the direct line to him. And with the direct line to him we must and will be protected by him. Think of how you would do with your own child. God has blessed us to feel what it's like to be him. Giving us love and yes, sometimes tough love as our parents did with us and as we do with our children.

God is 100 per cent real, whether you believe it or not. Stop worrying about the end of the world and other junk, as there shall be no end of the world. There is enough for all of God's children. This is step one my brothers and sisters.

As you start with this, it usually takes about three months before you will start noticing the change in your life as it has with me. Step two will be discussed another time as we all have homework to do, yes this includes me. Step two will be in understanding how the brain works and this is where we see that it's not our fault. Until then my brothers and sisters, remember that God is great and he loves each and every one of us.

A quick story, a young brother today saw that I was in a bind; now this brother took immediate action to help me and as a result saved me, his help brought tears to my eyes because I felt the love, it was all love with zero monetary expectation in return. This type of brother is what makes life worth living. I will be forever in his grace and now as a result gave me the strength needed to write to all of you my brothers and sisters. Positive vibrations, this is what the legend Bob Marley was talking about.
