2000 and love

There is a beautiful sentiment circulating around Jamaica now – people are referring to this year as 2000 and love (rather than 2008 or 2000 and hate)! It is beautiful because it creates a shift in energy. Just saying the phrase gets the energy moving in a different way. I notice that when people have shared the thought there are inevitably smiles all round. You can actually feel the energy lift, and hear a buzz of good vibes.

What would our world be like if we were living in 2000 and love rather than 2000 and hate? Can we even imagine such a thing? Actually, just by saying it, we have started to create it. We can make this even more powerful by creating a vision of our world as a world of love. What would such a world look like? What would our own experiences look and feel like? Describing this in detail, and holding this vision is the first step.

What do I mean by “holding the vision”? It means that we BELIEVE and KNOW that this vision of love is possible. It is believing that despite all appearances of 2000 and hate, our reality is 2000 and love. For when we hold this vision, we create the necessary shift in energy to that on which we are focusing – love. And what we focus on, we create more of. Then, just by saying the phrase over and over again, and by sharing it with others we can accelerate the energy shift. For every time we say the phrase, we will be invoking the power of our vision.

Now, who is to do this and where does it start? It starts with the individual, with me, with you. We do not have to wait for a national day of 2000 and love; we do not have to wait for the “leaders” to commit; we do not have to wait for anyone – 2000 and love starts with each and every one of us. Each of us individually has the power to move energy, to shift the world from hate to love. For when we move, the whole world moves. 2000 and love is the year for us to make a mark, take a stand and to think, speak, feel and be love.

Happy 2000 and love!
