PHYSICAL ASCENSION There are many among you who believe that physical death is a necessary part of the progression of your soul. However, this is not true. There are many who walk among you who are highly enlightened. They remain on Earth to assist others, such as yourself to attain higher degrees of love and understanding of your Self.

Many bow down to these gurus, but know that they are just like you. You have just as much ability to attain the higher frequencies of love as these gurus are experiencing. You would do well to sit with these souls or to read the original writings of those who have passed on to the Other Side in order to gain perspectives on ways you can change your life.

There is no need to follow any one Order. There is no need to live a minimalistic lifestyle. You can enjoy all of the beauty and wonder of this world, for this is the intention of its original design. What is necessary is an earnest desire to leave behind the things that keep you locked into negative thought patterns and fear-based actions. You have within you the ability to make these changes.

You simply need to begin observing and paying attention to the things you say and do. Take time daily to reflect on your activities. Be filled with gratitude for those things that are flowing smoothly and do not punish yourself with feelings of shame or guilt for choices you have made that were less than kind. Start each day anew, firmly stating your intentions for the day.

The Human Genome Project – A Cosmic Joke That Has Scientists Rolling in the Aisle

There is a “thing” I refer to as Universe Humor, others may refer to it as a Cosmic Joke. There have been times in all of our lives when we thought we knew exactly how some event or incident was going to turn out. We could be so convinced that we “knew” what was going to happen, that we would have bet the family farm and the kitchen sink on the outcome of the event. It is at moments like this, when the Universe surprises us by taking a left turn instead of a right.

While in most cases such a turn of events may evoke anger, disappointment or disillusion, I usually respond by shaking my head in profound awe of the perverse nature of Universe Humor. Here I thought I knew exactly how things would turn out and then find myself surprised, the wind knocked out of me. In wonder, I must rethink and reconsider the beliefs I held that led me to my faulty conclusion.

Many of you have used struggle and effort as a means of self definition and navigating life. Finally getting beyond the struggle allowed you to accept whatever rewards you felt you were worthy of, and gave you a sense of satisfaction and appreciation. The struggle/reward way of living is like a relationship that is filled with drama. At some point most humans get tired of the effort that involves and choose something that is more consistently satisfying and easier. The same applies to walking a path of struggle.

What if it doesn’t need to be that hard? How do you feel when you consider living a life of ease? Does the idea of ease bring up negative connotations for you? Do you consider ease to be laziness? Do you think it would be boring? Do you think you would stop learning and growing if your life was easier? That you would lose your drive? Do you feel you would stop deserving things or appreciating things if you lived a life of ease?

Dear Ones, you will create the exact amount of struggle you require to get your attention and facilitate growth and expansion in your life. What if you made a sacred commitment to put your learning, experiences, evolution and appreciation for each Now moment your top priority? What purpose would struggle then serve you, if you were already willingly in that flow of expansion?

Capitalism started with the idea of free enterprise and competition. People made their goods, presented them to consumers, who based their decision to buy on their real need for the items and the quality of the products as they saw them. The products stood on their own, and early advertising was essentially a means of informing the public. Products were presented with messages about usefulness, quality, and durability. A blue jeans ad in an old Sears, Roebuck catalogue, for example, simply showed blue jeans in good, better, and best qualities. Then advertisers discovered that products sell better when the ads play to our insecurity about our desirability, sexuality, and lovableness. Over time, advertising shifted from extolling the quality of a product to associating its use with the consumer’s sex appeal. Show a cute teenager sticking her butt out in tight blue jeans, with an attractive guy looking at her, add a classy label, and you can triple the price of the jeans.

If you’re seeking enlightenment through meditation, or perhaps you’re just looking to obtain a good night’s rest, you need a healthy pineal gland. Often referred to as the third eye, this small, pinecone-shaped endocrine organ located in the brain secretes and regulates melatonin, the hormone that regulates your circadian rhythms (your sleep-wake cycle) and certain sex hormones.

Top 5 Foods for the Pineal Gland

Calcification is an issue that occurs to everyone, but it’s increased in individuals that eat a poor diet. The problem is that overexposure to fluoride and phosphorus destabilizes your body’s mineral balance. This causes your pineal gland to calcify quickly. Nearly half of Americans experience pineal calcification by the age of 18! This disrupts your natural rhythms and hormones.

“Yes, but negative is an illusion. Negative and positive are both construction material. Negative is evolutionary catalyst.” ~ Dolores Cannon, A Message from the Subconscious. (The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth)

Once we have embraced the idea of continuing on and transcended the idea of the fixed self, we can begin to apprehend the cycles of karma in our lives and how they may be holding us back from our greater purpose.

Without experiencing a past life regression where the subconscious, soul or guardian energies communicate directly to us through our own mouths what we should be focusing on is not necessarily a bad thing; if we are connected to our inner voice or are able to invite these answers in, then they will inevitably find us. Like the cycles of karma we are ‘unconsciously’ experiencing, we can chose to attract the solution to them, and probably secretly know this information already.

The Shamanic View of Mental Illness by Stephanie Marohn with Malidoma Patrice Somé

In the shamanic view, mental illness signals “the birth of a healer,” explains Malidoma Patrice Somé. Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.

What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as “good news from the other world.” The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm. “Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into the same field,” says Dr. Somé. These disturbances result when the person does not get assistance in dealing with the presence of the energy from the spirit realm.
