:iconpinkbowdivplz::iconpinkbowdivplz::iconpinkbowdivplz: The Way of Love:iconpinkbowdivplz::iconpinkbowdivplz::iconpinkbowdivplz:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it his not arrogant  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

:iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz:Love is needed:iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz:
:iconpinkheartplz: The Rich~

The main reason our world is so messed up.Is due to a total lack of love and empathy.

Billionaires and the elite, get money--some in underhanded ways, not caring who they step on.It is not the money that is the issue--just the ways they choose to use it.It is their money yes; but the ones they walk on, put them there.So in essence it is the poor man's wealth too.
It is just sad that the elite, keep wanting more and more, and has so much already.The earth is in jeopardy; and I know, that if these people developed a caring attitude we would have little problems
Mankind created money--not God, Source whatever.
That is what helps us function in this 'reality'--however money will
not make the sun stop shining, rain come, food grow, and a spirit stay in a dying body.

''The richest 1% of adults in the world own 40% of the planet's wealth, according to the largest study yet of wealth distribution. The report also finds that those in financial services and the internet sectors predominate among the super rich.'' click here to read more www.theguardian.com/money/2006…

Government, Celebs, wealthy people--would not be where they are without the 'regular' people.We give them the power, and they abuse it.
Greed will never bring you happiness, because you will never be content.

We are more than the physical; that's why so many can feel a yearning and void.

Don't get me wrong.Not all the rich and elite do this--some genuinely care and contribute.(Michael Jackson and Ellen Degeneres for instance)
However this is not enough. A lot of effort and care, will have to be put in, to create a new world.If more of the filthy rich and elite cared, things would change drastically.

look at how most of these people spend...

Yes spending on yourself is not wrong....but with this kind of power, you could solve so much issues in the world, but choose not too...

Watch the above, and envision yourself with the kind of freedom and power.See yourself able to have this luxury.Honesty is the best policy.
Be honest with yourself, and write what you are doing with this power and money.Do you enjoy impressing others with the latest jet, buying a
neighborhood of mansions just to avoid people from being around you?(also stopping others from getting a home),  shower yourself in absolute luxury every day?; or perhaps you would give a bit to charity?, maybe a little more(a few millions is sufficient right?yeah that is enough to feed and develop the entire world's problems), perhaps you do pamper yourself and family, but enjoy contributing bulks of money to projects that can really put a good dent in the issues today.Or you really feel money is not all there is, and you are content living a a fairly small to average house in nature , and spend your days travelling, and really meeting and helping the world.

you honestly decide.
                                  :iconthinkingplz:     :iconwritingplz::iconreadingplz:

For this Clove, if you are going to participate in this effort to grow love and change.You are required to get a journal. Alot of introspection, tracking progress, and documenting what your journey and experience is like.

:iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz::iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz::iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz:Challenge :iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz::iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz::iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz:


:iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz:Your first challenge, is to honestly review and visualize a life of utter wealth, and what your life would be like?Watch the vids above and act like you are one of them.You have the power, and money is like grass to you.
Remember we are beings of vibration, and can manifest anything.
Some of these people were born into rich families and others kept pushing to get there--one thing is for sure--these people believe in themselves, and have total confidence; taking risk, and  not taking no for an answer.
Really get into the feeling; and deeply meditate on it.

It is personal; so you do not have to share in the folder--only if you want to.Do not be ashamed of your choice--you are just being honest--and that is what we want.

:iconkawaiipinkukokoroplz:After this.Your next step is to write about your childhood and money--did your parents always fix on money or worry, were you pushed to be wealthy?,Was your family wealthy but generous?, or were they purely materialistic?, Were you always hungry?, keep asking and identifying what helped shaped your attitude on wealth--why to avoid or gain it, what to do with it, and the general mentality.
 
:iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz::iconpinkheartsplz:


Deadline:iconstarplz:Have this challenge done by the 9th or 10th of February.We want to be serious and cover all we can.As I said you do not have to upload to the folder, only if you like.If you want to; your can write the journal, type it, and share, draw something, do a video or animation--whichever ways you feel like sharing what the challenge was like, and what is on your mind.


See you all for the next ep. love and light!

I would strongly advice that if you wish to write such things, write them in form of a literature. Because here on dA not much people watch the journal entries ;p also, the lessons that I wrote, there were academic essays under literature. Just a friendly advice, that way you can put them in other groups as well. Good Luck :aww:

Also I would like to answer to the question: "What would you do with wealth?"
I would build a house somewhere in a forest, I like to be alone with my fiancee, no disturbance, just like a hermit :) and the rest I would give to people who are in need. Since I was a child, I always wanted to help, and if I would be wealthy, I wouldn't hesitate to do it.
