HJ: One of the primary keys to a happy, fulfilled, abundant life is discovering your passions and giving them to the world with all of your heart.  Yes, there are other reasons why you are here in this life.  However, this is your primary objective.  To do it and to do it well.  To do it with love and compassion and joy and all the other spiritual values we all hold so dear.

Because living your passions is the path in life that will allow you the greatest growth in consciousness and the greatest spiritual growth possible for you to achieve in this lifetime.  The only guideline is to live your passions to the best of your ability in any given moment.  Things out of your control may take your life down a different path than you had anticipated but no matter what you are doing, no matter what situation you find yourself in, if you simply live your passion and follow your greatest excitement, you can do no wrong.

And, in fact, as regular readers of the Healers Journal will know, there is no right or wrong.  These are inherently subjective judgements of inherently objective phenomena.  They are cultural...

Today, it is time to look at the baggage you carry. Some of you carry it with dignity – like a badge of honor, some with disdain and still others with hurt and shame.  Some of it was given to you or you may have picked it up of your own free will.  You may even carry it with you as a form of protection.  It is time to set it down now, my love.  You may even unpack it, examining each piece to decide whether you will keep it or not.  The choice is yours.  But, I am here to tell you it is no longer necessary for your existence.  Let it go!  The lightness of being you will gain far outweighs the benefits of continuing to carry it. ~ Creator

“Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the Unconscious. Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.” – Carl G. Jung

Mind Control. It’s easier than you think! Anybody can do it. Don’t believe me? You don’t think everybody has the power to control hundreds, thousands, even millions of other people’s minds? Then watch this little experiment...

When your love and acceptance of self matches the unconditional love and acceptance Source has for you, is when the stream of all good things you have been seeking will effortlessly flow into your existence. You simply cannot attract what you do not think you are worthy to receive. ~Archangel Gabriel

Just as Edward Snowden made huge headlines (and still is) all over the world, William Binney did the same in 2001 when he resigned from the National Security Agency (NSA) after 9/11 and blew the lid on an NSA mass surveillance program.

He worked for the agency for more than thirty years, and was the leading code-breaker against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He’s had quite the run, starting in 2002 when he let the public know of a system (‘trailblazer’) intended to analyze data carried on communicat...

Life in the world keeps chugging along. Life in the world, as you know it, may never settle down. Therefore, it is incumbent for you to settle down. Within yourself, you settle down. You are wise and calm. Life brings unexpected stories, and yet you can read these stories without alarm. What an imagination life has! What it puts together cannot be taken back, yet, what life puts together keeps changing and growing, and sometimes dreams do come true.
 
There are dreams you have that are imminently true. Before peace fully reigns in the world, and it will, you give it a head-start by realizing peace within you. Peace does not really come from outside you. For one thing, beloveds, there is no outside you. It seems so. It seems that sunlight comes from outside you, yet you are the Sun. Storms seem to come from outside you, yet you are also the storm. Neither weather nor foe comes from outside you.
 
Nor am I outside you. Everything is within you. Everything is reflected within you, and everything within you is also reflected outside you.
 
You are your own best friend, and you are your own best challenge. When all is right with you, then all may be right with the world.

“All adversities are here to help you. They can become instruments of your progress.”  ~ Swami Rama

Would you return a really expensive gift from a friend that you’ve coveted for ages? What about the opportunity to uncover one of your own personal assets, long hidden by years of accumulated dust and wanton negligence? As odd as it seems, adversity is as valuabl...

There’s a revolution happening in Sweden right now. Dubbed the “recycling revolution,” the Scandinavian country now recycles 99 percent of their garbage, edging closer to a zero-waste lifestyle, nationwide.

Wouldn’t it be great if no household waste was wasted? If each and every item of refuse was turned into something else — new products, raw materials, gas or at least heat?

Sweden is almost there. More than 99 per cent of all household waste is recycled in one way or another. This means that the country has gone through something of a recycling revolution in the last decade...
