ec·sta·sy

1. An overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement.

2. An emotional or trancelike state, originally one involving an experience of mystic self-transcendence.

You were born to be happy. In fact, everyone has a deep seeded impulse to blos...

Take one day and notice how much of it is devoted to love and how much is devoted to negative emotions.  You have the ability to change your thoughts and, in turn, change how you experience your Earth-plane existence. ~ Creator

Purpose is a moment to moment experience. The word purpose is synonymous with motive, cause, reason, and intention. Our life’s purpose has everything to do with how we choose to live. Yet like life, our purpose is ever changing.

When we seek to understand our purpose we seek to understand our reason for being alive.

Maybe our life’s purpose is to be a father, a mother, the mailman, a teacher, an entrepreneur, or a seeker of knowledge. Our life’s purpose can be expressed in infinite ways and it is multi-faceted by its nature. Our life’s purpose is the foundation of our intention… and our declaration to the world. So we must honor what we do...

Low self esteem comes from being dependant upon another to decide your worth. This was conditioned into you as a child, as you were considered “good” or “bad” according to whatever adult had control over you at any given time. Dear Ones, only you can determine your own worth based on your own innate knowing of right or wrong, and the unfoldment of your own life expression, as is perfect for you. There is no one outside of you who is qualified to judge you, for if someone is judging they are operating from a space that cannot see you […]

Technically speaking, wheat is a grain containing carbohydrates. It makes up most of our noodles and breads that are the source of most carbohydrates in our diet. Modern wheat really isn’t wheat at all and far from the health food the wheat industry wants you to believe it is. High-yielding and now genetically modified varieties of wheat are making this one cereal grain you’ll probably want to axe from your food list.

So how–and when–did this ancient grain become such a serious health threat? Author and preventive cardiologist William Davis, MD, says it’s when big agriculture stepped in de...

Welcome to a new round of the 260 day cycle of the Tzolkin calendar. This sacred cycle offers you insight into yourself, a guide to self-empowerment. If you wish to follow the daily Messages, consider purchasing your own copy of the Mayan Messages in paperback or eBook, both reasonably priced.

As long as I am able, I will continue to post a daily summary of the Messages. However, it is most beneficial to read the full message for maximum benefit. Be well, be wise and may this be your best Tzolkin ever.

Higher education is not what it used to be, and that’s no accident.

A few years back, Paul E. Lingenfelter began his report on the defunding of public education by saying,

“In 1920 H.G. W...

The future of medicine rests on the the fundamental right we all have to use things that spring from the Earth naturally as healing agents. Why should cannabis, used for at least 10000 years by humankind to alleviate suffering, be excluded from this inexorable mandate?

The politics of cannabis are exceedingly complex, and yet the truth is simple: this freely growing plant heals the human body – not to mention provides food, fuel, clothing and shelter, if only we will let it perform its birthright. 

This is what My Beloved sang to Me this morning as I claimed her Mine. My Beloved sang:
 
“Beloved God, what shall I say to You today? In what way shall I express My love for You? How do I say it? What words can contain My love for You? How do I establish My love for You on Earth? How do I announce You? How do I begin?
 
“My heart cries out that the die is cast. It is out of my hands. I, a commoner, fell in love with You, the Majesty of the Universe and of my heart. What is it about You that I fell on my knees, wanting to kiss Your hem the first moment I saw You, and my own voice was numbed?
 
“I had heard about You as a stranger. Either You were a foreigner, or I was. You were an idea. No bell ever rang in My heart.
 
“Then You appeared before me. My heart started clanging and wouldn’t stop. I tried to run away. Then Your eyes followed me and caught me like a fish, and I was caught, and it was impossible for me to let You out of my heart. You were my every thought. You were my every word. I was caught in the net of Your love. I could not escape Your eyes. My heart could not leave Yours. What was going to happen to me? My life was out of my hands. Somehow, Your eyes had alighted on mine. You had found me. I was lost to myself. My life fled, and I was lost. You were too much for me. I was in despair. I wanted to say Your Name, and I could not.
