I don’t think heaven is some intangible, far-off place that we should focus so heavily on that we forget to enjoy our lives right now.

I think we can create heaven right here on earth, and I, like a lot of people, want to do everything I can to raise the collective vibration and make this world heavenly.

There are a few belief systems that resonate with me, and they all preach the idea that heaven can be found and/or created on earth.

Spiritualism, which I write about but don’t practice, endorses the idea that life is a journey filled with constant lessons. It also promotes the concept of consciousness living on after the body dies.

Most people who hear the term ‘spiritualism’ probably associate it with mediums and channeled messages that have to do with life after death, but there’s more to the religion than meets the eye.

There is nothing you cannot be, because you are everything and from everything. You are part of all that is. You have devised a veil which keeps you from remembering our true history. It keeps you from remembering your true origin of who you are and where you came from. The true power of humanity is so great that it was necessary to create this reality full of limitations and duality. Otherwise, it would not be a game at all. We would all realize our true power and the game would be over. So why do we persist with this illusion?

To experience. To have a human experience we must attach to at least one emotion here on Earth. It could be love, fear, anger, greed, lust and many others. It could be one emotion or all of the above. But without attaching to at least one emotional base, we could not stay here on Earth. We would realize our true power and the game would be over. So we must experience limitation the its fullest to remind us that we are human.

How you see the world, process your interactions and the responses you produce, are all a product of a reality that you have created for yourself – reality is not given to you, it is made by you. The world you see around you right now is not a set construct, it's not a predefined experience for all humans to perceive in the same way and interact with similarly – the reality you see is a product of your own perceptions, how you've processed the world and the sense you made of it. Everybody makes sense of the world differently in billions of subtle ways, and we hope that these perceptions align with other people's, else a person can be perceived as mad! The world however is far stranger than we perceive, but our human senses are tuned to ignore the truth of this illusion.

You can drastically alter your perception of reality and therefore transform the way you interact and feel about the world, in turn creating such profound changes in your life that an entire consciousness shift can result. Outcomes of this transformation can be, finding lasting inner peace, calmness, serenity, realizing the important things in life, appreciating your existence, finding much love where it was previously invisible, and realising a new purpose.

DISCOVER YOUR TRUTH Today is a grand day, one of great celebration, for you have chosen to be alive on planet Earth! The time has come to look closely at every belief you hold to be true. Most beliefs were inhaled on blind faith, never once questioning the authority of those who proclaimed these truths. The Truth is ever-present in the world around you.

There is much you can learn by observing Nature in action, for Nature is a reflection of the Creator. All is perfectly balanced and in harmony when there is no human intervention. Have you studied the symbiosis between plants, animals and landscape? Every birth, every new sprout unto itself is a miracle. You also are given the ability to sprout and grow when given the proper circumstances.

The ability to go inside and to connect with your Higher Self and Source is within your grasp. It is your intuition, that inner knowing, that is your connection. Paying attention to this knowingness is your key to fine tuning your connection to Source.

Dare to be open-minded and look for Truth in all things. Ask questions, especially of those who have thoughts different from your own. Instead of perpetuating the differences among yourselves, learn to work together and discover the similarities. Break down the barriers of separation. There are no two among you who have the same beliefs in all things.

The core of the solar system, our Sun, leaves Jupiter’s sign Sagittarius this week. Yet almost as soon as he leaves Sagittarius, Saturn moves into Jupiter’s sign, which is a major event. Also, the Capricorn sign contains as many as five of the ten planets during the week, placing an additional emphasis on Saturn. Saturn has a reputation as an unpleasant planet. However, can he ultimately help you to expand your limits? Discipline and determination can bring rich rewards to those who are persistent. How will you face Saturn this week in hopes of increasing your accomplishments, expanding your limits, and raising your consciousness?

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

What can be so urgent when there is Infinity, the Infinity of Timelessness? Inasmuch as time does not exist, why must My children be Time’s prisoner? Must you run yourself ragged trying to appease time, at your expense of course?

Here’s the thing, beloveds. You will never catch up with time. If you do reach its shadow this second, time has already moved on and now it eludes you once again.

In other areas of life, you are capable of changing your tune. If you are up at bat, you care very much to make a home run, yet if you don’t today, there is the possibility that you will hit a home run tomorrow. Making a home run is all in its good time, in this so-called time.

Yet in life, when you have a deadline, you are frantic unless you make it. It is as if you have failed, and you are sure that a calamity will result. You can deeply desire a home run. You care very much. And yet you don’t have to have the looming panic that not meeting a deadline foments in you. What terror exactly do you feel is ready to catch you because you missed an appointment or whatever it is that puts you into a tizzy as if your very life depended upon it. Clocks seem to beat you up, and every time you offer time your chin as if you were an obedient slave to time.
