I really love and agree with this post, Elizabeth. In that pause before the reaction, looking within and connecting with love and forgiveness of my self, can move others. Great thoughts with this post.

In reply to Kristina.

Kristina, maybe the personal responsibility takes the form of simply following the ho’oponopono “prayer” and not trying to fix anything for anyone. It is happening on the level of energy……. a quality of alignment that comes with the prayer. It may be followed by action, or by letting go.
Say it, let it go. I find it helps me stay out of worry mode, it gives me a channel for my energy of concern. Sometimes I keep repeating it, thinking of various people or situations, I say it, and I let go of the results.

I love this, Elizabeth Purvis! Yes, this is how I live. This is a powerful go-to tool for me that I have used for years now. I love how you apply it to the election and what is going on in the collective right now. I completely agree. If people could only see, I kept thinking, what they are playing out in all this. Thank you.

Personal Responsibility, yes. The more personal responsibility you are willing to take, the more power you have. And that is great news for us Manifesting Queens.

Yes. And yes again. Some years ago I was asked to speak about peace to a Unitarian Church as a representative of a Buddhist lay order. As I prepared my thoughts, I recognized that what I really needed to talk about was love and inclusiveness. That meant I also needed to talk about hatred and bigotry (the shadow side that obscures love and inclusiveness). One of my concluding thoughts was that in order to truly love enough to bring about peace we first needed to learn to love those practicing bigotry. I think this Hawaiian prayer and the personal responsibility it requires is another way of saying the same thing.

Profoundly wonderful, Elizabeth. Thank you for this. A brave post – the type of authenticity that resonates with me. I appreciate the reminder of these 4 phrases – the book you mention is on my shelf. Personal responsibility changes everything for me, when I take responsibility, I can shift from thinking that is low vibration. Keep this stuff coming! I loved your videos a while ago that had just a little touch of magic in them. AWESOME. It uplifted me out of my doldrums – into that space of possibility and hope.

PRAYER FOR AMERICA

“O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning…”
25
O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal.

Wow, Elizabeth. Thank you. This is incredibly powerful, and so relevant for where I am in my life at the moment.
A question for you though – when you take personal responsibility for things through ho’oponopono, how do you manage not to be overwhelmed with trying to fix everything for everyone? Is it that you are spreading the intention outward, and focussing and working inward, which protects you from the overwhelm? This is something I struggle with, so would really appreciate your input.
