It seems that dogs understand much more than we think. According to a new study, dogs don’t simply respond to what we say, but they also pay attention to the way we say something. The most curious thing about this finding is that humans process speech in an extremely similar way.

In the process of listening, the human brain responds to a number of elements apart from the spoken words. These elements include different auditory and visual stimuli, such as emotional tone and certain information about the speaker – gender, age, identity, etc. The human brain is capable of perceiving these stimuli thanks to distinguishing and processing separately various components of human speech.

A gentle reminder: now is a good place to be. Nothing of the past crowds you; each new now flows serenely into the next with a future of nows wide open to you. ~ Creator

During your holiday season, the focus is on peace, love and caring for your fellow man. Our greatest wish for you is that you will continue to embrace these energies and allow them to become your preferred way of being beyond your holidays. You are far too caring, too loving, too breathtakingly divine to not allow those heart traits to shine all year long. May love become your constant. ~Archangel Gabriel

There are three things to remember when resolving any issue:

1. Forgiveness: Allow others to do as they choose. This does not mean that you allow others to continually harm you or others, for you would do well to remove yourself from the presence of these persons. However, it does mean that you realize they are operating from their set of belief codes. You do not have to adhere to their beliefs. Thus, if they say or do things that are unkind, you do not have to believe their words or participate in their actions. Many of you have been injured physically and emotionally by these persons, but you have within you the ability to heal these wounds, forgive the other and move forward in your life.

2. Know that you have within you the power to choose the experiences you wish to have. You cannot undo the past, but in this moment, the thoughts, words and actions you express are creating your future. Be mindful of all you say and do, choosing only those things that lead to the life you desire.

3. Make heart-to-heart connections with every person you meet, especially with your adversaries. This can be done visually when you are in the presence of the other or this can be accomplished remotely with those who are not in your presence.

God said:

Beloved, once again I hear you speak from the depths of your heart. I hear you say:

“Beloved God, where would You like to take me today? From what discouragement will You lift me and to what heights?

“It seems I have been sleeping all my life. I didn’t know. I was hardly awake. I didn’t know where I was. It’s like I was in some kind of in-between land, yet I was also suffering anguish and doing my best to ignore it.

“I also went through what I thought was joy, yet, it seems to me now, wasn’t that much joy, perhaps a little loosening of the ropes. The joy was made up. All of my life was made up in that I wasn’t really alive. I was passive and impassive. I was off somewhere, and I also wasn’t anywhere at all. I must have slept through life. Occasionally I opened my eyes and then closed them again. What I thought was enjoyment wasn’t really. It was louder noise or, perhaps, a break in the noise. I was locked in a cell of my choosing or that I had settled for. I want to know life as it is meant to be lived and meant to be loved. Help me, O God.”

Beloveds, how often you repeated this approach and reproach to life. You felt that life had passed you by.

Had all your dreams come true, you would be singing the same refrain, for you discovered that you had been a watcher. You were a watchbird watching a watchbird watch. You were an observer with, perhaps, one eye open.

The earth element continues to dominate the transits this week. Ademtos (Transneptunian), Virgo Moon, and Mercury in Capricorn form a grand earth trine on New Year’s Eve. The trio is in the ingress chart for the 2016 chart in some parts of the world (New York and the United States East Coast has this configuration within orb at the stroke of midnight on January 1). That is one rock solid, albeit ephemeral, grand trine! Naturally, many useful themes arise as attention to taking on the New Year approaches. Both emotion and thought, already manifesting in an earthy manner via Moon and Mercury, have a solid base to operate from, provided by Admetos. Instinctively using communication to build enduring structures, using ideas persistently to fill emotional needs, and focusing on gathering practical information to meet security needs are all relevant themes to approach the challenges of 2016. The past should not be overlooked as an important factor, as Admetos and Moon (and to some extent Mercury) very much have an orientation towards the past.

You are about to turn another page, my beloved.  It is time to leave the previous behind you and look forward to writing more of your adventure.  It is not necessary to hold onto and tuck the past pages away.  Those experiences, places, people and things……they are done.  Just turn the page and read on. ~ Creator

“The war on medical marijuana is over.”

Great news! A provision ending the federal prohibition on medical marijuana, banning federal agents from policing its users or raiding dispensaries in any state or district where it is legal, was just passed by Congress.

The provision can be found in Congress’ new 1,603-page spending plan. 

Mainstream media may be quiet about this latest news, but you can guarantee the little passage will radically alter the way America treats – and views – the use of medical marijuana. 

2016 Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders wrote an op-ed for The New York Times on Wednesday calling for the Federal Reserve to be audited independently by the Government Accountability Office on an annual basis.

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has scheduled a historic Jan. 12 vote on a bill, colloquially referred to as “Audit the Fed,” which was introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). The bill would authorize the GAO to perform full audits of the Federal Reserve System.

“To rein in Wall Street, we should begin by reforming the Federal Reserve, which oversees financial institutions and which uses monetary policy to maintain price stability and full employment. Unfortunately, an institution that was created to serve all Americans has been hijacked by the very bankers it regulates,” wrote Sen. Sanders.
