God said:

What is disappointment but expectation unfulfilled. Disappointment, something that all My children on Earth seem to know very well, isn’t so big as it feels. Disappointment has no existence of its own. Disappointment depends on something else altogether. Disappointment is a non-entity. Yet how wrapped up My children are in disappointment. Disappointment is like an appointment unmet. Keep seeking to know your furthermost desires.

Once you cried over a broken doll. Now you cry over something else. What would you have had if your doll had not broken? You would have had the idea that your doll was fine just the way you had the idea it was broken. The meaningfulness of your doll can only be a projection. Perhaps you are beginning to see the powerhouse your mind is. We can say that your mind can turn wine into water as a Great One turned water into wine.

Reality is truly in another league than what you seem to see before you. What do you know of anything, dear friends, beyond your interpretation of it?

I say all is well, and you do not see what I see. You may be polite and guffaw behind your hand, yet you guffaw nevertheless. It is not so much that We have a difference of opinion as We have a difference of sight. What a vast difference that is.

And so we have witnesses who witness differently.

Moon enters her home sign, Cancer, in the middle of the day on September 6, and leaves her home sign late in the day on September 8. This is of interest, among other reasons, because the five personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) will reside in four consecutive signs – Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and Libra – in mid-week. The concentration of energy in a third of the zodiac also contains a relatively long-running medley creating a circuit of energy, consisting of Sun, Mercury, and Venus (who goes direct early in the week). Saturn is intense and edgy in the last degree of Scorpio, and the three outer titans, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, continue to retrograde. Yet the heavens appear to be emphasizing the luminaries and inner planets.

At times, existing on this Earth feels heavy. There is too much negative energy weighing down the planet and the creatures who dwell here. Our species is technically an invasive one. We have used too much energy for our egotistical needs and now our own survival is distorted. Does your Soul strain when you read about poverty, injustice, greed, and destruction? Do you ever feel empathetically drained? There is a way to shift the mood on Earth. This shift is very similar to choosing to smile in place of a frown. We are in charge of our own destiny, thus we must ride this wave of positive change, together.

Act Local, Think Global

If you do not do this already, now is a good time to start. Explore farmer’s markets and ask the distributors how these products are made. Next time you visit a grocery store, read the ingredients and the certifications. Understand where your food was manufactured: each drop of water that went into the farming, each gallon of gas used to transport the food – it will all be recycled into new energy inside your own body. When a person thinks deeply about where their food and other consumer goods come from, that person is immediately more connected to the Earth and more in tune with the collective energy.

I like to think of myself as a healthy person. I exercise regularly, drink infrequently, and prepare plant-based, whole foods-derived meals every day. I also, however, suffer from IBS, and accordingly am no stranger to things like bloating, stomach pains, and infrequent bowel movements. Through trial and error and a great deal of self reflection, I have come to learn which foods trigger these reactions – gluten, dairy, fried foods, sugar – and generally manage the condition quite well. But it is also triggered by stress and lack of sleep (two obviously correlative problems), and thus far in my life I have neglected to address stress management as part of my health regimen.

Or rather, up until a couple of months ago, I had. It feels strange to look back now and try to understand my reticence in attempting different stress management techniques (other than exercise, which of course is one of the best). I think what it boils down to is something I like to call ‘selective laziness.’ I would not call myself a lazy person by any means, but trying something new and difficult, with no guarantee of success, just, well… seemed like a lot of work.

Growing your own medicinal garden is so easy, there might even be some herbs already growing in your back yard. Since many common culinary herbs have a long history as traditional medicines, you might want to consider planting a few. It can only do you good!

1. German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)

As one of the best herbs for treating stress, infections, and stomachaches it’s worth having it in your garden. Make a tea, or treat your hair with it if you want it to change its color to lighter nuance. It tolerates many types of soils, but sandy, well-drained soil is most preferable.

2. Common Sage (Salvia officinalis)

Sage can be used for treating fevers, diarrhea and excessive sweating. Because of its phytosterols, its main purpose is cooling and drying body functions.

When you believe that things are starting to spin too fast…take a deep breath, focus on the truth and smile. You are the way you are because you are intended to be that way. ~ Creator

Whilst school feels like a century ago, there are often moments I think back to my school days and ponder upon the things I wish somebody had taught me when I was younger. There are plenty of skills, information and general pieces of knowledge that should be taught in schools that would save a lot of stress, heartache and embarrassment in our later years. Whilst our wise owl teachers probably did pass on some nuggets of advice throughout our school years, it was very unlikely that we actually listened or realised how important it was. If I could add self-awareness and life lessons to the curriculum, here’s what I would teach:

1. Failures are okay

So in school, a fail is a bad thing, sometimes even an awful thing that you get told is going to affect your life forever. Sure, qualifications are important to get you onto the next stepping stone in life, but they aren’t the be-all and end-all. It’s okay to fail a test, or not be able to score that goal. Making mistakes is the only genuine way to learn and the sooner you realise that, the better. Accepting your mistakes is something everybody should be taught to do from a young age and that as long as you learn from them, you are doing okay.

Shamans and Revolutionaries don’t preach to the choir, where confirmation bias is high. They go where they are unpopular, to reach those not far from the next step into sanity.

But such sanity doesn’t feel like sanity at first. This is called a healing crisis. Healing crises get worse before they get better, but the result is deeper integration, wisdom, and wellness. But because healing crises are not pretty or tidy or conducive to business as usual, they are not so popular and thereby often thought worthless or irrelevant.

But nothing could be further from the truth.
