They tend to be men, although there are women who seek to accrue worldly power, rather than to distribute divine love.

In any case, those who are humble and grateful for what they have, and are thankful for the opportunity to be of service to our Creator, and by extension, to life in all its forms and manifestations, often go unheralded and unrewarded, in the worldly ways in which the commanders and conquerers revel. That should not deter us, we who look to operate from the heart and to give to “nuestros familiares”, whomever they may be and wherever we may find them. Spirit will assist us, and show us the way, when we open ourselves to its benificent influence and guidance. The ‘still, small voice” speaking within the core of our beingness can lead us to that place that is spiritually best for us, as eternal souls, when we trust in it and have faith in its rightness. The road to the heavenly heights lies within each of us, so be brave and be yourself. May The Blessings Be!

In it she points out that there are many, many great women whose names and contributions are unknown. In spite of quality or quantity of, women’s contributions to society, humanity, health and peace there is little to remind us of them or to honor them, but frequent street signs leading us to remember and to therefore believe in “the greatness” in men of whom we may know nothing.
Thank you Adan
