To say the best is yet to come is to say Truth. The best is not behind you. You may sometimes in gloom think so. Yet what awaits you is primary. I say this because you have grown since yesterday, and you have already heard Me say that the past never was. With or without you, the past is obligated to recede. You can’t hold onto it, the past, not the long past or the short past either. Past is past. The illusion of the past you carried over is done with now. The good days are lined up before you like pins in a bowling alley.

Your good days are not lined up behind you. The good days of the past are effervescent. They are not now. You can’t turn them into now. They left long ago. You can’t live in them now.

Nor can you live in the future, for right now is the moment you have been waiting for. Make good use of it.

When you live in the past, you are like a miser with his money. He hoards it. He counts it over and over. You are to be viable now. What fear would hold you back from this very moment?

If you are a deep-sea diver, you can dive only at this moment. You have to make a new splash. You cannot be a collector of time or a collector of tide. Spend the present moment. Be generous with yourself. Spend this moment.

You are always taking a step forward. You are in the middle of a step now. You might think of yourself as pending, yet you are more than pending. You are forward-moving. One step after the other, and you are on your merry way to the next.

1.Our Food
It is obvious that we should eat as much natural food as possible. As soon as they are seeded our plants are corrupted by fertilizers and pesticides while most   groceries contain some preservatives and additives. Factory farms use industrial methods to produce more and more meat, eggs or milk as fast as possible. These include raising large numbers of animals in enclosed spaces, often requiring special medical assistance to keep them healthy in cramped conditions. Some farms use growth hormones, artificial lighting and sophisticated machinery. Food manufacturers try to figure out different techniques in order to extend the lifespan, improve the taste and reduce the cost of their products. This is often achieved by commercialised agriculture that compromises global ecosystems...

1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

What’s the point in feeling sorry for yourself anyway? Mentally strong people recognize the mistakes they’ve made, and instead of dwelling upon them, they grow from them.

2. They Don’t Give Away Their Power

The mentally strong don’t allow other people to control them. They’re in charge of their own lives and their own futures, not anyone else.

3. They Don’t Shy Away from Change

When it comes to change, mentally strong people don’t run away from it,  but rather take it head on.

4. They Don’t Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control

You’re certainly not going to hear a mentally strong people griping over things outside of their control, like crummy people at work or delays at the airport...

as·trol·o·gy

noun \?-?strä-l?-j?\

: the study of how the positions of the stars and movements of the planets have a supposed influence on events and on the lives and behavior of people.

– Merriam-Webster Dictionary

A recent Norwegian study, found that humans born during solar minimums (periods of lesser Sun activity) live 5 years more than people born during solar periods of higher activity.

The researchers examined the lives of 8,600 people born in between the years of 1676 to 1878 and they noticed this reoccurring trend. They then established that higher Sun rays affected the amino acids during higher periods of energy – therefore damaging the acids more so than the calm, to say for lack of a better term. Of course, astrology has not been given more credence in light of this.

HJ: Life is a never ending journey of awakening and growth.  The sooner you realize this and begin embracing it, the more fun and flowing it becomes.  This is because you are aligning yourself with the natural rhythms of life and more specifically, the universe as a whole.  In this deep, fascinating interview, spiritual teacher Richard Harvey gives insight into working through the three stages of spiritual awakening.

Interview on the Three Stages of Awakening

By Richard Harvey | All Things Healing | Therapy and Spirituality

You speak of a threefold model of human awakening through deepening levels of awareness. The first level is what we usually think of as personal therapy...

We will simplify the Law of Attraction one step further for you. Intend to manifest what you love. Look for things around you that you love. Send what you love, love. Feel the love that exists in you and for you.

It all really boils down to love, in the end, doesn’t it? And that is what we wish for you – that you live your life in a continual flow of love, embracing both the in breath and out breath of love, dancing and thriving and co-creating with the unconditional love of the universe. ~Archangel Gabriel
