RIP, Mr. Mandela.
A Great Being - A Tribute to Nelson Mandela - Dr John Demartini
http://blog.drdemartini.com/tribute-nelson-mandela/
"When great beings reach their time of passing nearly the whole world comes to know. Such men and women of great stature and influence touch lives they have never even met and possibly could ever know. Their previous messages and deeds transform whole societies and their lasting images become indelible in the minds of billions around the world. Their character becomes a new standard and their countenance leaves monuments and statues as reminders for other future beings to know themselves authentically and dare to be true and share. In every century there are those that leave their mark, and those who up the worlds ante. In every decade there are those who blaze new trails of possibility for others in societies to grasp and mold."
"Nelson Mandela was one such man who socially, politically, and culturally shined his great light upon the world. He stood for endurance and fairness in his principles. He changed the course of history with his dignity and mild manners. The great missions, the great visions and great messages that beings such as he has displayed cant help but initiate great respect and honor from those touched and transformed. His grandness is not to be mourned, but his everlasting presence to be recognized, respected and appreciated for centuries to come. For it is wise for his very essence to simply keep living on within all of us."
"From passive to activist and from prisoner to President one man became a legend in his lifetime though stationed in simplicity and limited in residence he moved the world. Nearly a century of living, but ultimately millenniums of presence, Nelson was contributive through the very core of his essence. It is time to reflect on his great accomplishments and revere his message. Let us all dig deeper into our own nature and find grace and poise since this one mans direction was the purpose of freedom and presence not race."
"Our time has come to carry on the inspiration of this great being so we can marry all polarities and liberate our constraints. It is not about color or gender or creed, it is about power and presence and internal voids that must be freed. It is about vision and purpose now that the world can begin to see and be free, for inspirations and meaning give us our lives with pure deeds. I am thankful and ready to take on the new mission now. May we all go inside and draw out our own genius renown. Thank you Nelson Mandela for your courage and knowing I just sense that you would want us to give gratitude and honor your new presence and keep growing. As I look into the future and can see what lays ahead, a new way of viewing the world and living now that your message is spread. May the great beings before you and those that will eventually come to pass continue to guide us into the new millenniums as you and they have done in the past. Thank you Nelson Mandela for a vision so vast may we now all have the wisdom to transcend the past."
