What motivates you?  Today, you are invited to take a very close look at your perceptions and how they influence your everyday decisions.  Are you motivated by chaos, fear, discomfort or loss?  Or…..are you motivated by love and joy?  Allow yourself to look at your inner patterns and programming, see what you can stand to change and change it.  Free will is yours. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, every day you get to choose what you will place your focus upon. What are you looking for evidence of today? Is it lack and what is unwanted? Or is it love and the abundance of things that are wonderful that exist all around you? Your focus is your magnifier, your agreement, your blessing. A mindful human being honours the sacred power of their attention and is wisely selective of what they gift their focus to, because through that act is a choice of continuation. ~Archangel Gabriel

Around 250 AD, groups of nomadic hunters and gatherers in and around the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico first began establishing complex societies that would eventually become the Maya civilization. Maya peoples were the only pre-Columbian civilizations to form a fully developed writing system, known as the Maya hieroglyphic script, and was significantly more advanced than many of their neighbors in the areas of art, architecture, mathematics and astronomy.

At its peak, mighty pyramids and enormous temples were lined up precisely with events taking place in the night sky and stone carvings celebrated their great leaders. How the Maya civilization ended is still something of a mystery. The mightiest civilization in the ancient Americas fell to ruin incredibly rapidly. They wrote of a thriving civilization in the ninth century AD, but after that, their records went silent.

It’s not clear how the Mayas met their end, but archaeologists continue to stumble upon the long-deserted City-States that were home to a vibrant people. Most recently, an incredible metropolis was discovered deep in the jungle of the Mexican state of Campeche. The cities were hidden in thick vegetation and could hardly be reached.

God said:

It is good just to be with Me. What more do you want?

We do not have to talk. We do not have to think, for We also exist beyond thought. There is nothing you have to do but come to Me. Welcome yourself to Me. Come to Me in your awareness. This is not an act that you initiate. This happens of itself. This will most certainly come of itself.

This is not something you do. You don’t DO it. No one can DO it. It IS. And, yet, you walk into the Kingdom of Heaven. You do not stand on ceremony. You have already had a star-spangled invitation. There never was a time you did not. You may have overlooked an invitation. Just couldn’t see it. Perhaps thought it was a bill that had come in the mail.

Your invitation can arrive like this:

You are washing dishes, and you hear a knock on the door. You did not know there would be a knock on the door at this moment. You dry your hands on your apron, and you open the door. And here I am. I suggest you anticipate this knock on the door. I WILL knock on your door.

One day, if only for a moment, you will open the door that I knocked on. You will find yourself spontaneously before Me in your Awareness. It is as if you are witnessing yourself. You are not making this happen. You are watching it happen. You are Light bowing down to Light, your Very Self.

Without effort or even intention on your part, you become all Light. Maybe just for a bleep of a moment, you are no longer encased in a body. Wow, you are light before Me.

“A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purified by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic, and social institutions, a holy force – the power of wisdom and love in action – is born.”

A regular meditation practice brings with it many benefits, such as increased brain density, a boost in connections between neurons, decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety, improved clarity of thought, and an increase in endorphins that affect mood. Surprisingly to many, the advantages of meditation extend beyond the brain, and published studies have shown it can improve physical functioning and vitality, decrease chronic disease risks, and enhance overall quality of life.

The world of science is undoubtedly becoming more mysterious by the day. This is exemplified by multiple discoveries within the realms of quantum physics, parapsychology, and more — discoveries that have challenged (and continue to challenge) the current framework of accepted scientific knowledge. This kind of shift in ideology has happened many times over the course of our history; when the world instantaneously became round from flat, the majority of people were in disbelief and labelled the new theory’s proponents as blasphemers.

Some great examples of science that challenge these current and long held belief systems include: quantum entanglement, studies which examine the role of consciousness on physical systems (like the quantum double slit experiment), placebo studies, distant healing, and more.

Another great example is teleportation, as several interesting findings within this field seem to be (at least partly) turning science fiction into science fact.

“We are not our bodies, our possessions, or our career. Who we are is Divine Love and that is Infinite.” ~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ​(1940-2015)

There are people in this world who can touch our hearts in really profound and meaningful ways, and that’s exactly the impact Wayne Dyer had on me.

Wayne W. Dyer, you were one of the most beautiful, humble and authentic people who ever walked on this Earth. And I learned so much from you. You taught me how to be humble, how to live in love and truth, and how to always honor who I truly am underneath it all. You taught me how to be better than I used to be and I will always be thankful for this. Thank you for sharing your love, your knowledge and your wisdom with all of us.

The world was, is, and will be a better place just because you have lived. You will be greatly missed.
