My children may consider Life on Earth as a Rite of Passage, as a canoe ride down a river, as a trek through a jungle, fraught with unexpected danger. My children may consider Life on Earth as a ride on a carousel, as a dance floor, a Broadway musical, a feat of great dimensions. What can Life on Earth not be considered as?

What you consider life to be makes a difference to the life you experience. The preponderance of your thoughts about life are trend-setters. Your thoughts create a map for your life to follow.

It is safe to say that whatever you consider life to be, life will still have a few surprises for you. Life really doesn't let you sit still, or, life makes you sit still when you don't want to, or Life on Earth makes you move when you would like to sit still or even hide.

You would say that life is contrary. Life doesn't object. It is you who objects to life. Life doesn’t take offense. You do. Sometimes you take offense right and left. Sometimes life can't please you. You find it difficult to be pleased. You may not really know what you want from life. What can life do to suit you when you may see life as a precarious adventure or, even, unforgivable?

Through the Looking Glass

Why is music so magic? Why is it that almost everyone likes music in one form or another? Is there something intrinsic to music itself that goes beyond any style, genre, or quality level that makes it so intriguing to us? Somehow it transports us to another place. It is as if it takes us through the looking glass.

The Magical Mirror of Music

The world we live in is backwards. War is peace, wrong is right, life is death. More than ever, it seems, the hideous is glorified, and the beautiful is trampled in the mud. It is as if we are living as a reflection in a mirror, where everything is backwards. Perhaps this is more true than we might imagine.

Nowadays, most everything we’d like to see happen seems more and more impossible. Like peace, prosperity, health, love, harmony, thriving, sharing, caring.

Perhaps music, of all things, can be most effective in helping us correct the situation. Perhaps there is a charm in the impossibility of everything, a magic solution.

Zero Point is the Mirror

Tragically, 1.4 million die from lung cancer each year, with 1.6 million newly diagnosed. Could the humble noni leaf extract offer a more effective cancer treatment than a drug that can cost over 100,000 dollars, and improves lung cancer survival rates by only a few months?

A promising new study published in the journal Food & Function titled, “Morinda citrifolia edible leaf extract enhanced immune response against lung cancer,” has found that an alcohol-based leaf extract of the noni tree (Morinda Citrifolia) was more effective than a commonly used chemotherapy drug in treating lung cancer in an animal model.

In the new study, a team of Malaysian researchers tested the relative effectiveness of the drug erlotinib (trade name Tarceva), a so-called epidemal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFR inhibitor), to a noni leaf extract, in lung tumor-induced albino house mice (BALB/c), and found that 21 days of treatment with a 300 mg kg^-1 body weight of leaf extract was more effective suppressing lung tumour growth than a 50 mg kg^-1 body weight erlotinib treatment.

Have you ever seen what happens to a windup toy when it hits a wall? It will keep bumping up against the wall, over and over again, until it runs out of energy.

Don’t keep pushing against obstacles you encounter – flow around them! If you hit a wall, it does not mean you are bad, or doing things wrong, or that the world is out to get you. Far from it! It is the universe saying, “Dear One, that is not the way for you.”

Know that you are being lovingly guided, always being directed to your next great result. Your soul is seeking that path of least resistance. Isn’t it time to give up struggle and embrace surrender, instead? Not only is it the most comfortable way of doing things, it is, by far, the most efficient means of navigation available to you. ~Archangel Gabriel

You are an ever-expanding being of light. Do not try to box, curb, rein in or otherwise stunt yourself. You are made and meant to grow; do it. ~ Creator

God said:

Do even Jewels of Glory in the world become old hat? Is there any love or delight that does not seem to reduce itself to commonplace after some time? I suppose this could be referred to as your becoming used to good news, and, therefore, even the exalted rose may lose its glow, and you, perhaps, feel left by the wayside.

When you first opened your eyes to Me, you were exultant. You were at a peak of life. We could say that you were high on the hog. Then, after a while, you felt a let-down. Seemingly, I faded into the background.

Therefore, you present yourself with an occasion for a greater rise in vibration. And so, the extraordinary has begun to seem ordinary, for, from this relative aspect in the world comes change. You search for this change because you are always meant to change and grow. Sometimes the change seems harrowing for you. You would prefer that your life stayed in place and did not change, at least, not yet.

You had understandably been on Cloud 9, and now, alas, you just don't feel this Lightness of Being any longer. Somehow, you may feel heavy-footed.

When you reach the peak of a mountaintop, you know you have gotten somewhere. Then the contrast seems to fizzle out, you are left wanting more, and more and more. More and more always exist, and you want this more right now. You are supposed to want it. You are supposed to have it. You must have it, and, so, contentedness leads to discontent.
