Oracle cards and Tarot cards are both great. The two can be used (differently) to receive messages from your guides, angels, the Universe, Source, God - whatever you want to call it. The point of divination is for you to see and create the connections in your awareness from the meanings of the cards, and how they relate to everything around you.

They act as an incredibly powerful tool when you understand that fundamentally everything is energy. By putting your focus into tarot or oracle cards you create energy through the form of feeling, thought, realization, and understanding. When you pull any card after asking a question, the point is to create a real, practical connection and shift your perspective to see new angles of any given situation.

You can even pull cards over and over. While this may seem pointless to some, by  stimulating the firing of neurons in your brain to expand your awareness – You never need to “prove” anything about the power of the cards. They make their power known, and their power comes from you. 

It is normal for us, people, to constantly strive to become better, to have more, to do more. But on our lifetime journeys we often forget that what we need in order to be happy, is right in front of us NOW. In our rush to prosper and be successful, we fail to remind ourselves that we are whole, we are enough and that we have this exact moment. Why waste it being grumpy? Why not be happy now?

Here are 8 reminders of what you don’t need in order to appreciate the present moment:

Worrying about past mistakes.

The fact that you have made mistakes in your past is simply another reason to smile and be happy about. Wondering why? Well, if you hadn’t made any mistakes in your life, you wouldn’t have learned the important things you know now. Life has its ups and downs and that’s the beauty of it. Failing is the best way we can learn something. Your past, no matter how hard it has been, shouldn’t get in the way of your future.  Why be bothered by what is behind you instead of focusing on what is now and what it could be in the future? Your life is in your hands. Don’t deprive yourself from taking action just because you fear you may fall down a few times. Because what matters most is that you can always get back up and move on.

Dear Ones, discomfort is simply a re-directional tool. It occurs to let you know you are not in alignment with your highest good and attempting to navigate your life outside of your soul’s preferred methods of surrender, flow, ease, growth and expansion. This is why old belief systems that glorify struggle and pain as being somehow noble are so very destructive.

Think about what occurs after a long period of struggle and discomfort. At some point the human being will get so worn down, so exhausted, that they give up pushing against the flow and surrender. And that is the moment movement begins to happen again!

Isn’t it beautiful that you are stepping into a method that honours ease, comfort and grace? Isn’t it amazing that you are learning that not only is making that choice not wrong, it is wonderfully efficient and gets you where you wish to be in record time? When you are not expending all your energy pushing for what is not being supported, you will find that you can then shift into enjoying the Now moment and consciously creating. You will shift out of survival mode and into enjoyment and creation, which is the sweet spot your soul has been seeking all along. ~Archangel Gabriel

Currently, an estimated 41 armed military conflicts are being fought throughout the world.

In the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Nigeria and all around the planet, the collective subconscious is erupting with rage and violence.

In the face of war, injustice and other threats to our existence, many people feel moved to join in protests and strident activism.

Although well-intended, acts of moral outrage are not the solution because even moral outrage is rage — and acting on it adds more rage to the collective consciousness.

Instead of being outraged, we need to be asking, “What is a creative solution for the future?”

There is always a creative solution, yet we can only find it by expanding to a higher level of awareness than the level at which the problem was created.

Otherwise, we are fighting darkness with darkness, which never works.

The Diquis Spheres are considered one of the greatest mysteries in the world. What is the story behind the hundreds of massive stone spheres that were accidentally found in Costa Rica?

The Diquis Spheres were discovered in the 1940s during agricultural activities by the United Fruit Company. They were located on the bed of the Tirraba River, also known as Diquis River, near the towns of Palmar Sur and Palmar Norte in Costa Rica.

After their discovery, they were transported by rail all over the country. According to Samuel Lothrop, who recorded the total amount of spheres in 1963, they reached the number of 186. Nevertheless, several hundreds of them had already been dispersed to various locations throughout the country, which means that they must have been even many more.

God said:

There is a small distance, if distance at all, between exquisite beauty and exquisite agony. There is a meeting point where ecstasy is ecstasy regardless of the seeming cause. Both beauty and agony cut your heart up at this meeting place in which your heart beats or throbs or bellows or cries out: “It is too much for me to be joined to everyone and everything.”

The depth of bliss and the depth of pain seem to be the same to you. Exquisite bliss and exquisite pain hurt My beautiful children equally. You do not know where to find the shore.

Yet I, the God of Oneness, know no pain. There is no place for pain in My Heart of Wholeness. My heart is wedded to bliss and knows not the side you delve into. There is no darkness in My heart. Oneness is so deep it leaves no room for anything but the deepest joy accountable or not.

Yet you may well leave unfilled space in your heart and find great sorrow, wrenches of sorrow, sense of loss of joy as if joy can be tarred and quartered. Your heart aches by whatever name the ache is known. In the greatest joy, you experience the haunting of subtraction even as Oneness is. Oneness may wrench your heart when you are just verging on the Joy of Oneness -- this is the real story. Oneness seems to burst your heart open, and your heart cries for mercy. Such great joy is a heart-breaker until you get used to it.

Take this in:

In the United States alone, at least 9 percent of kids are diagnosed with ADHD and are being treated with different kinds of pharmaceutical medications. The design of our school system is horribly outdated and provides little benefit in comparison to how transformative it could truly be.

Imagine schools like this, which funnily enough James Cameron created; that allow you to create whatever you want.

Your teachers should be in support of what you want to do in life. Classrooms should be outside or at least in different, stimulating places.

Children should not be forced to sit in class rooms every day – it is completely keeping them from understanding their full potential.

This education system is in place for a very specific reason, and it’s all connected to the pharmaceutical and governmental systems.

Now, the percentage of children with ADHD in France is dramatically less at less than .5 percent. 

So what is going on here?
