I’ve written before that I think the world’s problems are caused from a lack of love and compassion, and we have to love ourselves if we want to have compassion for those who struggle. Sadly, a lot of people suffer from a massive lack of self-love, which is evident in their lifestyle and the way they interact with others.

You can tell if someone lacks self-love by their views or beliefs, the way they treat people and the way they live in general, and the greatest spiritual sickness the world knows – the sickness that causes negative or careless behavior – is the inability to love oneself, which reduces one’s love for the world. When felt on a massive scale, this deficiency causes wars and all kinds of other brutal things that we have to deal with in the world today.

If we can understand the importance of self-love – not just for the world, but for each of us who suffers without it – I think we can make some crucial personal shifts that the world will eventually reflect. As the ‘trend’ catches on, more and more people will jump onboard and rediscover what they’ve been missing for so long. The misery and drudgery that’s often associated with life will slowly fade, and with our self-love rightfully restored, we’ll have no problem coming together to create a new way of living.

The enemy of my enemy (the mind) is my friend (pristine consciousness).

The design of all species is to function in concordance with life’s universal laws. Over eons of time a part of one of our most sensitive instruments (the memory-senses complex) took a mis-leading turn when it deceived its co-dependent partner (the pristine consciousness) into believing that the decisions being made by pristine consciousness are self-generated. This mis-understanding is easily corrected. It is the Intelligence (the mysterious expression of all that exists) – pristine consciousness affinity that will make us whole again.

The consciousness that we are presently experiencing is not our natural state. We live (for the most part) in our head (mind) where thoughts seem to be never ending. This is our foremost challenge to be resolved. The content of consciousness is mind and mind is the problem maker.

God said:

Let go of old thinking, for old thinking keeps you where you are and where you don’t want to stay any longer. You no longer want to settle for status quo. I know you don’t. Unless you are on top of the world, why would you want to stay where you are?

If you want to be renewed, think again.

If, in life, you have been dragging your feet, think anew.

If you think life is not listening to you, get some new thinking under your belt.

New is not just a sales word. I do not look for some kind of recompense from you, unless you consider your reaching to greater heights as a reward to Me, for, of course, your flying high makes Me happy. You are far more than a sale I make, however. I do not look for you to increase My profit. You are My son or daughter. I am happy to be part of your growth. Very happy. This is My desire.

We are talking about new consciousness. Your new awareness equals the appearance of a new and faster direction in your life. New awareness works in your favor. New awareness means you influence your life in new ways. We are talking about your spontaneously reaching new heights by virtue of your new thinking, new dreams, new conductivity, a new you according to your desires. Think of deeper and higher heights and thriving inspiration.

New indicates a new take on life, a new understanding, and easier access to your deepest dreams beyond physical manifestations. Why not live a deeper and greater life? Let’s repeat this: Why not live a deeper and greater life?

We’re bombarded with negativity all the time. We see it in the news, we see it on TV, heck, go to the park and you’ll probably see it their too. But do you know how you combat negativity? Not by being negative yourself. You combat it by being positive. So how do you transform yourself into a positive thinker?

1. Be thankful for what you have.

This is step number one. Look around you. You likely have a home and a family who loves you and friends who like you and an expensive electronic device with which to read this. You’re doing better than a vast majority of people. This isn’t meant to make you feel bad, it’s just important to remember how good things are. Things may not be perfect, and it’s perfectly fine to acknowledge it and fight for what you want in life, but face it: life’s pretty cool right now too.

2. Don’t be the queen of drama.

Eliminate drama from your life at once. Drama is such a nasty, unfortunate characteristic to have. Part of ditching drama is ditching dramatic people. Forget the gossip, it doesn’t do anyone any good and only serves to spread negativity.

By Amateo Ra | Are you a dreamer? Do you have beautiful visions about how amazing your life could truly be? Evolution in truth is inherently about how to grow or develop. At the same time, there are more distractions than ever pulling us away from the path to our dreams. In this blog, I call out & shine light on these distractions, so they no longer have the power to hold you back.

So whether it’s your life, relationships, career focus, it’s very likely you hold a precious dream of how good it can get. I am always revisiting my life journey and thinking…How does it get better than this? What can I do to make this so?

However, it’s not always as simple as putting an “X” on the map and setting out to get it. There are distractions, pitfalls, detours on the journey. And in our modern World, there are more things than ever competing for your attention, and distracting you from your mission.

The innovative mechanic has been using plastic water bottles filled with water and a splash of bleach to light up dark rooms since 2002, and now the idea has spread across the world. It is predicted that by the end of the year, over a million homes will be fitted with the invention and be lit up – without any electricity!

Moser’s method works using refraction of the sunlight. His secret is two capfuls of Bleach added to water in normal plastic bottles, which are commonly thrown away. While some may argue that Bleach is not the most environmentally friendly product, it stops the solution from turning green with algae when exposed to sunlight. From this simple combination, millions of homes may become illuminated.

By drilling a hole in a roof tile and then pushing the filled bottle in from below, the bottle can be kept in place with plastic resin and the new ‘window’ can be made waterproof.

Here is a list of the top 500 songs that we feel can assist one with the evolution of consciousness. It includes songs that have higher wisdom in their lyrics, songs that are the artist’s message to humanity or a specific group of people, and songs with lyrics that were written to inspire, empower or uplift. All songs in this playlist have lyrics. Are there any others you think should be added to this list? If so, please post links to them in the comments below!

Have you ever stepped back and noticed yourself creating ingenious ways to avoid your deep inner knowing that your relationship or job has run its course?

You might even be in this exact situation right now.

This meticulously executed avoidance is one of those super interesting human behaviours I see often in my work with clients and that I have come to know a lot about.

It can show up in any area of your life – in your friendships, interests, hobbies, favourite places to eat out or go on holiday. The two big areas in which I notice it show up most however, are those of romantic relationships and career/work.

Sticking With What You Know

There are different reasons people stay in unhappy relationships or jobs. For example, it can be overwhelming to consider the effect that breaking off a long-term marriage or partnership can have on the extended family, when you as a couple have been a constant reference point for others for years. Then there are the financial benefits, especially if you’ve grown used to certain luxuries and creature comforts. Pride, embarrassment, and shame around not wanting others to know that your relationship has failed are common reasons as well.
