We live in a strange world, and as Neil Armstrong once said, there are “great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth’s protective layers.” (source) (source)

Fast forward to today, and a number of people have become aware of the fact that not all of what goes on behind the scenes is made public. This is precisely why the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was created; it’s a federal freedom of information law that allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government.

There are still many obstacles in the way of full transparency, one of which is the use of ‘national security’ to keep information classified and hidden from public viewing. This has become more evident with the revelations of WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, but the problem goes deeper still. Did you know that the U.S government classifies roughly five hundred million pages of documents every single year? This is a completely separate topic in itself and if you’re interested in learning more about this, you can check out our article about the ‘Black Budget.’

Relax and get into a quiet state of mind. State clearly a problem you wish to resolve. Your mind will fill with ideas, possible solutions, steps to take and perhaps things you need to change in your life that have exacerbated this problem.

As objectively as you can, without judging yourself or another, realize your role in this situation. If you are holding on to feelings of being a victim or needing an apology from another, release these feelings at this time.

The goal is to move forward with love and kindness. Bless the situation, for it gave you an opportunity to experience growth in your life. Send the person love, even if you have not released the anger or frustration you feel towards them. Surround them with love, encasing yourself with them in a bubble of golden light. By doing so, they will receive your love and it will help to keep walls between you from getting denser.

There have been numerous studies detailing what happens to the brain in long-term meditators, but what exactly happens to people who meditate for the first time?

Sara Lazar, a Harvard researcher, has gained quite some notoriety detailing how the brain actually grows grey matter when people meditate. Other studies have shown that meditation improves IQ, and lessens depression. In addition to these benefits, meditation also:

• Reduces alcohol and substance consumption, reduces blood pressure (Chiesa, 2009),
• Decreases anxiety, depressive symptoms, and relapses (Coelho, Canter, & Ernst, 2007; Kim et al., 2009)

“Every step forward means tearing oneself lose from the maternal womb of unconsciousness in which the mass of men dwells.” – Carl Jung, The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man

On the journey of life, many of the blessings that steer you towards the right path, and keep you on that path, often appear at first as personal crises. A challenge to your well-being is precisely what it takes to catalyze lasting and meaningful personal transformation, and you must awaken and overcome, facing the worst of yourself in order to discover the better version of yourself in waiting.

When I experienced this personally many years ago, the crises in my life stacked up and became utterly impossible to ignore or cover up. Life slowed down to a suffocating pace while I grasped for direction and meaning. Happiness was a daydream. My fantastic corporate job, my good marriage, my friends, and all of my possessions were meaningless, and at every turn the world looked dark and unforgiving. Life sucked… to be more succinct.

How can I not love you? You were created from me and I from you. You are perfection defined through love. ~ Creator

If you are thinking low, think higher. If you are feeling small, think big. If you are feeling weak, think strong. See yourself as The Universe always sees you, not as you see yourself…..the perfect, wonderful, whole you. ~ Creator

Many of you wonder what your enlightenment process means for your current relationships. Can you have a relationship with someone who is not spiritually awakening?

We liken this scenario to being on a highway, which could be considered your soul path. The person who is embracing their spiritual awakening seems like they are in a race car, while the one who is not may seem like they are walking down the side of the road. What we wish for you to understand is that both are in forward movement and one is not necessarily better than the other.

You see, there are many who do not have conscious spiritual awakening on their “to do” list for this incarnation. They may have focused on spirituality for many lifetimes and are wishing to take a break this time around. They may be fine-tuning other parts of the human experience and have come in service to you, to create the stability, resources and time you need to have the freedom to embrace your own enlightenment.

This role would be just as sacred as the role of spiritual seeker. Often times this can be much like the passing of a baton between two souls, with you taking turns being seeker and supporter in different lifetimes, but make no mistake about it – both roles are equally honoured and sacred, even if the supporter displays no interest in the spiritual process whatsoever.

God said:

Will you agree with Me that love is your natural state? Do you agree?
 
If love is not your first reaction at present, what has interfered with this natural state I gave to you for safe keeping? Love is natural because I gave it to you. I gave you My Nature, and My Nature is to love.
 
The Love from Your Heart has been impacted upon. Your love moved over. You may feel your love was chased away or kicked away. Your Beloved Heart received signals that your love perhaps wasn’t valued. You did indeed receive the message that love is not a safe route. You could not be sure that love had been apportioned to you. You wanted and want to protect your love. You do not know how to keep on giving your heart away when your heart is perhaps kicked around and not readily backed up. You tended to hold your Divine Heart apart.
 
Perhaps, back then, whatever you did was not quite right or good enough. To be good was more important than to shine the light of your love. You learned the hard way. Yes, your heart felt tossed aside.
 
Regardless of the past, it is for you now to reconnect with your love and know its security because your heart, in Truth, is bigger than the world, bigger than hurt. Your heart is as big as the Sun. Your heart has all the Light of My Heart. What did you think it means that you and I are One? There is One Sun, and it sheds its Light on All irrespective of anything.
