The Star of David [in Hebrew, the Magen David or Shield of David] is renowned as the sacred symbol of the Jewish faith. Indeed, the Star of David is the distinguishing feature on the Israeli flag and as an ornament of jewelry the Star of David is proudly worn by millions of devout Jews worldwide. Yes, the Star of David is purely Jewish. Or is it?Recently, while visiting the holy city of Jerusalem, I purchased a silver pendant of the “Star of David” from a local shopkeeper and when I put it around my neck I was asked:

“Why are you wearing a Jewish symbol?”...

The system we live in is a slow burn into a personal and private prison of negative emotion perpetuated by antiquated ideals in regards to energy, government, and finance. Our society isn’t functioning from a place of teaching us how to live healthy lives and thrive in Wellness, rather we are taught how to slowly die instead.

From the smallest proton to the vastness of the Universe there is a constant and consistent force, and that force is energy. Energy never dies, it just changes form – and this is also the definition of Spirit or “God”. We don’t have to be “religious” or use something as simple as science to “prove” that energy has an effect on each and every one of us.  We can use our unders...

As the gut microbiome becomes the newest hot topic in medical science, researchers are welcoming natural and nutritional approaches to optimal health and preventing disease.

A lot of studies take a doom-and-gloom tone about the devastating effects on the world from generations of immersion in antibiotics – in animals, in food and in early childhood. Some have even traced the damage to the immune system from before conception. Many are warning that there is 

From out of the darkness comes a bright light, and that bright light is you. How full of glory you are.
 
If you fall from grace, it is by your own hand, for the Grace of God is not spotty. The Grace of God is always. With God there are no time limits, and there is no retracting. God gives, and He gives from the conditionless state called Infinity. Infinity is a permanent state. God does not take back what He gives. He does not hesitate.  
 
I do not. I would not. I do not change My mind. Changing your mind is a human trait, not a trait of Mine. I am strong, and My Word means something. I am not cagey or crafty. I do not make life impossible for you. I do not make you tremble with concern about My Reliability.
 
Certainty and uncertainty are of the world and not of Heaven. Equivocation is of the world. Mixed-up is of the world. Nevertheless, the world is a great opportunity given to you. There is no other opportunity like it. You may think that entering the world is a blunder. Not at all. Entering the world is your choice. Life on Earth is not a trap set to make you stumble. Clearly, stumbling is a good possibility in the world. Stumble you will. What’s wrong with that? It is not fatal to stumble. You simply get up. Stumbling gives you the opportunity to get up. Stumbling is like an exercise in the gym, only the gym in this case is named the world.
 

Keeping your eyes open is easy. Catching those, sometimes, elusive moments of miracle may take some practice.  They are happening all around you, constantly moving through your Earth-plane, weaving a beautiful pattern into the fabric of your existence. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, the universe does not respond to negative feedback. It only works with change, movement, expansion and amplification of your focus. You were not born knowing how to respond to negatives, either. You see this demonstrated very clearly in young children. If you tell a child not to do something, they almost immediately do it again without fail. It is not because they are defiant, it is because they only respond to the essence and focus of any statement. They are naturally working with the laws of the universe by amplifying the energy they were presented with. A better […]
