November 2025
This November is the twilight before the darkness, yet it could be a beautiful month. As E.E. Cummings wrote, “who are you, little i (five or six years old) peering from some high window; at the gold of november sunset (and feeling: that if day has to become night, this is a beautiful way).”
This month, similar to October, is a prelude to 2026. Let it be beautiful!
It is a time of duality, right and wrong, win and lose, good and bad, superior and inferior, control as a compensation for fear and trust, and my way or the highway. All of these are vicious circles. If you have one of these aspects of duality, you have both. These are vicious circles which always spiral downwards.
We are on such a spiral now in the world. Yet there is much we can do to ameliorate what is to come by helping the world to have an easy birth. This begins with ourselves. It is so easy to blame and project the hidden side of our mind out onto the world. The world heads for a birth in 2026 and it needs our willingness to have it be an easy birth. The conflict going on in the world is the conflict going on in our minds. As Buddha said when He awoke: “The world is a dream and I’m the dreamer. It is my mind that makes the world.” Let us desire a happy dream!
How we can help today, in the midst of such conflict to come, is to be peaceful and have faith. It is faith that will save us in the turmoil. Heaven will do the rest. It is time to prepare for “the big game.” This is what we came for. If you overprepare, you can pull a muscle that takes you out of the game. If you overthink it, you can only be anxious and afraid, which feeds the conflict. Put the future in the Hands of God (A Course in Miracles).
What works at this time is the peace that comes from being here and now, where the pain of the past is no more and the fear of trying to deal with the future dissolves by being present. The present is the gateway to eternity. “I rest in God.” (A Course in Miracles)
Our only function at this time is to be peaceful and have faith. Otherwise, we get in the way of Heaven’s grace. Want peace with all your heart. Christ’s way is to love and forgive everyone and everything. In this way, you know with Christ that you have no enemies and that everyone is innocent. All you see is what you think of yourself. This is the nature of perception. We are perceiving and dealing with what we see in our own mind. Any attack on you is an attack you are making on yourself. Any fear you experience is the emotion that comes from judgment, where you think others are doing to you what you are doing to them. Judgment is an attack that hides your guilt, thinking to save yourself from attacking another before they attack you. But your judgment is your ego’s attempt to hide guilt and project it on another. You don’t see their behavior is a call for help, but you see it as something that personally offends you. You can learn to bless rather than judge. November is a perfect time to practice learning this. If you judge the world you judge yourself and still seek punishment for yourself to alleviate the guilt within that you can’t stand. Projection of your guilt onto another does not dissolve your guilt or the desire for punishment because the ego kept the guilt within, while pretending to get rid of it through projection. You made your own guilt. What are you using it for? You can ask the Holy Spirit to undo it.
The extent of your peace on the other hand is the extent of your love, health and joy. It is the extent of your abundance and freedom. It is the extent of your harmlessness. Don’t wait till disaster is at your doorstep to start saying your mantra. Now is the time to pray. Now is the time to extend yourself because it is yourself you reach out to. Now is the time to forgive. It is important to do your part without overtaking Heaven’s function: Don’t get in the way of Heaven’s grace. In peace, you naturally welcome others and Heaven. It is how much you are open to grace. Ask yourself, how much are you overdoing it, getting in the way, and trying to fulfill Heaven’s purpose? This is an ego trap. Let it go.
Be at peace. Forgive. Invite. Welcome. Bless. Extend. Know you are not a body. It is your learning vehicle. You are God’s Child. Be at peace. Be with God. He’s got this. Don’t let any disaster that happens toward others cover your vindictiveness that seeks to prove you are right because others suffer, while you were spared. If you hide your vindictiveness in regard to who deserves punishment, you won’t escape your own vindictiveness. “Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you.” (John Donne) and as it says in the Bible, “Judgment is mine, says the Lord.” This does not mean that God punishes. It means that we are not to judge. Only God is in a position to judge and He never condemns. Be a vessel of peace and you will be a vessel of joy when the world needs it most. See how long you can go into any given day before you start judging. Judge anyone or anything for over a minute and you will find yourself exhausted and depleted. If you find yourself in judgment, ask the Tao to purify your mind.
What is crucial for you at this time, to make a difference, is to have faith in yourself, faith in Heaven, and faith in everyone you can think of. Have faith in public figures and faith in your shadows. They are places of self-hatred that you have projected on the world to act out your ancient past in order to forgive yourself. To have faith in your shadows is to have them unfold in a paradoxical manner until they become benign and the treasure underneath is revealed. The same process is true of a negative situation. You can trust it until it becomes true, bringing peace. The choice is simple: you choose faith instead of faithlessness. The only choice is between trust or fear—love or attack. What do you want? Welcome Quan Yin into any place you are afraid. Fear shows your split mind. You project out the side you least identify with, judge it, and fight against it. It’s really all you. Every conflict in the world is you. Quan Yin brings Her Oneness and all conflict is dissolved in Her Oneness. All fear is banished as the fragments of your conflict melt into wholeness and peace through Her Oneness. This wholeness becomes the foundation of your next step forward.
With all your heart, want the peace of God. Spend as much time as possible with Christ, Quan Yin, Buddha, the Tao, and finally, God. Look at every event that is not peaceful through Their eyes and it will become transformed rather than a source of pain and conflict. These figures are all in Oneness so they are in you and can be called upon. God is Oneness so He is in you. As you desire to know Him, you become Him as a vital part of Oneness. Your unfolding is toward the realization of your Oneness and as your awareness accelerates you become a lighthouse in a world of darkness. Your peace and light expands until your peace, light and love illumine the world. You are called for greatness; it is a way of peace. Don’t let your unworthiness get in the way. That is only the arrogance of your ego’s littleness when Heaven knows you and has total faith in you.
We are spirit, thinking we are bodies finding our way through the darkness as spirit. Knowing this, we are safe, healed, and whole. We can take another’s hand in ours and, as we do, we will find Christ’s Hand in the other on the way home together. The phrase that shows up most in the Bible is, “Be not afraid.” Your faith, your peace, and your wholeness is what Heaven uses to free those around you, through you, who are still caught in a world of fear. Looking through Buddha’s eyes, you see the world as one big illusion. Looking through Quan Yin’s eyes, you feel only compassion and mercy. Looking through Christ’s eyes, you see only love. Looking through the Holy Spirit’s eyes, you see only light because His eyes are always on God.
Be not afraid. Have faith. All is well. Not one soul shall fall from God’s loving grasp. Remember that you are eternal spirit. November is a month about your leadership. It answers affirmatively to the question, “Do you want to help?” This makes you a teacher of God. As a result, you turn emergency into emergence through the peace you have and the miracles you receive with your peace and faith. Peace and faith have the same dynamics and can be chosen instead of fear. As a result of this choice, you have faith and may lead the way home. This is what you came for. As you go forward, you remember yourself, your brothers, and your sisters.
Let go of your dark stories. It is not Heaven’s Way. Step back. Let Heaven lead the way. This is what you came for. Be at peace. The way home is within…Your peace radiates out and your faith brings the surety others depend on. Have faith in God’s Will. “Everything God wills is not only possible but has already happened. And this is why the past has gone. It never happened in reality, only in your mind, which thought it did is the undoing needed.” (A Course in Miracles)
