Your Will and God’s Will Are Ultimately the Same

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 22:04

God said:

A lot is said about My Will being done. This is not fully understood. That My Will be done implies that all of your life is a done deal and not open to your will. Not so. Your life is pending, and you have great say in your life.

If it can be said that I give mercy, it may also be said that I withhold mercy. There is a misunderstanding of terms, beloveds. That I give mercy may imply that I make judgments or even retribution.

It is for you to be merciful of yourself, and, therefore, everyone else.

Rather than My Will as a decision, I ask that you be willing. For you to be willing is a great thing. Instead of resolute, you are willing. You are willing to accept. You are willing to enjoy life and jam and butter. You are willing to let go of error. You are willing to give, and willing to give more, and willing to roll with life and eschew judgment. You are willing to let go of the concept of right and wrong.

What a boon it is when you can let go of judgment and condemnation and all that. Letting go takes a lot off your mind. Judgment is heavy. It weighs a lot. Without judgment, you lie by the still waters. Light is your canoe, and bright is the sun.

Three Tips to Help Transform Your Energy from Obligation to Joy

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 10:52

“If you do something out of duty it will deplete you, but if you do something out of love it will energize you.” ~ Unknown

There are several things that motivate us as human beings to want to change, reach our goals or achieve our aspirations. One of the main motivators to better ourselves is often other people. How many times have we heard or even said ourselves, “I am going to stop drinking for my kids,” “lose weight for my spouse,” “stop smoking for my parents,” etc… And while it may sound noble to use our loved ones as the fuel behind our fire, it actually may end up working against us rather than for us.

When we use other people as our “reason” to stop or start doing something we come to an energetic fork on the road of personal development. Down one way we have the energy of duty/obligation and down the other path is the energy of love/joy. The energy behind our actions makes all the difference in the world. As time passes, and we use obligation as our reason for our actions we will begin to feel depleted energetically.

Antidepressants May be Worsening Depression, Not Treating It

Could it all be based on a myth?

For years we’ve been told that depression is caused by low serotonin levels in the brain. Now, a leading professor of psychiatry is warning that belief is little more than a dangerous miscommunication, saying the marketing of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs is “based on a myth.”

SSRI use began to skyrocket in the early 1990’s. The drugs were seen as a safer alternative to tranquilizers, which were the standard treatment for depression until that time. Despite being weaker than old-style tricyclic antidepressants, they grew in popularity because it was believed they restored serotonin levels back to normal, “a notion that later transmuted into the idea that they remedied a chemical imbalance,” said David Healy, head of psychiatry at the Hergest psychiatric unit in Bangor, North Wales.

Greece Shuts Down Banks & Institutes Capital Controls: More Countries To Follow?

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 08:54

Greece just defaulted on its 1.6 billion international loans, even with a last minute deal with the IMF, becoming the first developed economy to default on a loan with the International Monetary Fund.

The people of Greece have already undergone budget cuts to pensions and other social services, as well as numerous tax hikes, in order to try to pay back money which many claim was not their idea to borrow in the first place.

The country has already received almost 240 billion euros in an additional two bank bailouts from the EU and IMF. Those who want Greece to stay beholden to its creditors will argue that if Greece falls, then so will Germany, Spain, Italy, and France, along with other European countries tied to Greece’s economy.

5 Ways Tantra Can Heal Our Society

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 08:51

There is a common discussion in the tantric world where some say that tantra is not about sex, it is a spiritual path. This is very true.

But what good is a philosophy and path if we can’t apply it to everyday life?

It’s like yoga. There is nothing interesting about being able to do full lotus or to balance on your arms. This kind of technology would not have been handed down in secrecy from teacher to student for millennia if these physical abilities were the only goal.

The reality is that the philosophy and practice of tantra and yoga must be applied to our lives – our everyday, mundane lives – if they are to be of any value at all.

So What Does Tantra Offer Us?

1. Freedom

Depression is rampant these days. Tantra can help.

The ancient tantrikas preached freedom. They said to throw out the constructs of society and live from your divine place. The rules and expectations that we learn act as invisible prisons keeping us “in check,” therefore keeping us from acting from our true passions (unless of course they lie within the prison walls).

Oracle for July 2015 – Responsibility

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 08:47

by Darity Wesley

Responsibility: The energies and directions for the month of July are evolving around peeling back yet another layer of the illusion. The month of May was about coming to a level of understanding that we should pierce the veil, which is really a layered event. Then, in the month of June, the first one we busted through was the illusion of Blind Trust. July’s time is about busting through the illusion of control and taking responsibility for ourselves. Oh, say it isn’t so!

One of the greatest illusions in our world is the illusion of control. I think most of us know and understand that and yet we continually try to control people, places, things, situations and this month of July, Spirit has us set up to release and bust the illusion of control and take up the gauntlet of responsibility.

You Can’t Make Someone Love You

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 08:38

Sad couple

When we’re deep into something it’s hard to see clearly and to hear advice from others. It’s hard to focus on a solution when we are consumed with the problem.

It’s the difference between playing and watching a game of chess. It’s so much easier to see checkmate when you’re not the one playing the game.

That’s what happened to me for the last five years.

I spent every breathing moment consumed with a man, unable to listen to those who watched me struggle. I spent five years doing everything I could to try to force a man to love me, and in the process I forgot how to love myself.
