PATHS OF JOY “Many on Earth are so focused on their enlightenment and the future prospect of ascending that they totally miss all the pleasures of being in the Now. Many who are not consciously moving towards enlightenment are doing the same. It is understandable, for at this time on Earth, many cannot grasp even the basic necessities to stay alive such as food, shelter and clothing.

Look around and notice how many cheerful people there are who are in dire need. Ask them what their secret is. These people are the way-showers. They can be of tremendous value in helping you find joy in your life. There are an endless number of Paths to happiness and joy. It all comes from within, going back to the belief codes you have created and built your foundation upon. With diligence, you can break through the codes that keep you locked into sadness, victimhood and depression.

You can begin to day by calming your inner and outer world. Clear all thoughts racing through your mind. Clearly state that you intend to bring an abundance of happiness and joy into your life, NOW.

Forgiveness and release are important factors for growth. Once you have accomplished breaking through one belief code, it affects many others, and like dominoes, they begin to fall. This is scientifically proven, you can do research on the neural connectors in the brain and how they are changed when your thoughts are changed. Fascinating bodies you have on Earth!

One theme of your life has been: “What is this all about? Is this spate of life on Earth really life? What is it for, and why do I have to go through it? Why me? Why anyone?”
 
Juries in the world get excused from serving. Why not you, you ask. What possibly brings you here and now? Are you really supposed to deal with all that you are given to deal with when, from everything you know, it is too much for you?
 
There seems to be no respite for you. You are in for a dime or a dollar. You serve for life in the world so long as you are relegated to the world. You don’t even know how long you are here for. You feel the burden of all that you do not know.
 
Sometimes life seems interminable to you. You fear making it through, and you fear not making it through.
 
Of course, you have other moments when everything is just jim-dandy with you, yet most of the time you seem to know only vagueness, as though you are a wanderer in a land you happen to find yourself wandering in. You find yourself on Earth, yet you don’t know what you are doing here at all. You feel that there must be an error, or a repeated error that somehow you make, and you don’t know how to get away from where you find yourself at the same time as you fear getting away from where you are.
 
You know your time on Earth is measured, yet where the exit is and when you actually exit are not at all clear.
 

HJ: Even some of the most successful people in the world have moments when they think they are not good enough.  And it is never true.  Things may not be meant to be, but you are always good enough.  Always.  Don’t ever forget that.

20 Things to Remember When You Think You’re Not Good Enough

By Marc Chernoff | Marc and Angel

Sometimes the hardest part of the journey is simply believing you’re worthy of the trip.

Truth be told, you can’t berate yourself into a better version of yourself.  And even though I know this, I sometimes still fall victim to my own negative thinking.  Sometimes I’m downright rude to myself.  I make a mistake, or fall short of my own expectations, and instead of treating it as a learning oppo...

Recalling past emotions keeps you there. An imagined future, good or not, makes it so. Breathing in your moment now keeps you alive. ~ Creator

There will be times in your life when you experience accelerated energies. During those times, you can feel like things are coming at you from all directions, that things are choppy and unpredictable, and that all you can really do is hang on the best you can. While those times may feel very intense, they always lead to a better place. Always. Imagine going down rapids in a raft. The ride, initially, is very busy. You are getting bounced all about! You may get spray in your face, and you can’t even see the scenery around you because you are […]

On Wednesday, Michael Nutter, mayor of Philadelphia, signed legislation decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana in the city. The law downgrades possession of 30 grams of marijuana or less to a mere civil offense and will go into effect on the 20th of this month. Reported by The Philadelphia Magazine:

Those possessing 30 grams or less of marijuana will be cited and fined $25. Those smoking in public will be cited and fined $100, or made to perform nine hours of community service.

But keep in mind, you can still be arrested for selling marijuana, possessing more than 30 grams, or driving under the influence of marijuana. This isn’t exactly the sweeping reform that legalization activists are fighting for, but it’s definitely a step up from, say, Oklahoma’s draconian marijuana laws.

The city will be doing outreach to make sure its citizens understand the new laws.

Dehydration definitely isn’t a joke. Water helps with every single system in our bodies, from our skin to our bones. Chronic dehydrated leads to digestive, skin, bladder and kidney problems, as well as fatigue, and that’s really just the beginning!

Did you know that when you feel thirst, it’s not a sign that you need a sip of water, but it’s a sign that you’re already badly dehydrated. I typically drink about a gallon and a half of water a day (as a 195 pound man; I think the rule of thumb is at least an ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight) but the trick is not to slam it all at once, but to sip all day.

Drinking a couple glasses of water after you wake up is a great idea, especially if you’re not a morning person. It will boost your blood pressure to normal levels and help get your daily hydration kick-started.

And remember, it&...

In Colorado, where labeling GMO products is on the ballot, the debate has begun to heat up. According to an ABC News poll, 90% of Americans believe the federal government should require GMO labels, but whether or not that can make it through campaign season is another issue entirely. Especially with big money flowing in from the mighty Monsanto itself.

From the Denver Post:

If the measure passes in Colorado, by 2016 packaged or raw foods made with GMOs that are sold in retail outlets must be labeled with the phrase “produced with genetic engineering.” Exemptions include processed food intended for immediate human consumption, like at restaurants and delis.

Opponents say that GMOs are harmful to human health, pointing to s...
