We live in a world of duality, and this means that we experience ‘good and bad’ as well as ‘right and wrong’. This yin-yang theory exists within and without. The reason why the Earth-plane is a great school for a soul’s expansion is this very reason; if there was no duality, there would be no pain, no joy, no variety and no growth.

There are people and energies we encounter that offer us the lessons we need while we walk our path here on Earth. At times, this fact simply points to learning how to work with, clear and protect against negative energy, and energy that just isn’t ours. Though this article is mostly intended for highly sensitive people (empaths and intuitives etc.) it applies to everyone walking on this planet. Anyone can be effected by others’ energies, especially during times of high-stress and transition. Sometimes we attract, receive, and absorb negative energies from people or from our environment. This is part of life, and going through those experiences – and learning to protect ourselves from them – help us expand as individuals and souls.

Sometimes you have to put out information in hopes that those who haven’t heard this will at least absorb a fraction of it. If you haven’t heard this and you absorb just one of these random points, I believe that may be enough to cause a major paradigm shift in your life or in the life of someone you know. Here are 10 random, mostly recent but some archival information that is factual and verifiable for anyone willing to look it up.

God said:

For those of you who translate Heavenletters, you have a good idea of how a Portuguese translator and a French translator, for instance, are part of a whole. Even if two of the members of the Translation team may never have direct contact with each other, nevertheless, they are working together.

When two or more people are simpatico, their brainwaves are united. They can only work as a team. Even if you are not aware of yourself as working as a team, you are absolutely working as a member of a team.

Even those of My children who believe they must work independently, they do not work alone.

If someone has been left on a deserted island and not seen another human being in many a year, he also is not really solo.

Not only is there no one separated from Me, there is also no one on Earth who does not work as part of a team with other human beings whether he is consciously aware of it or not.

This is the meaning of “No man is an island.”

Granted, there are people who must see themselves as independent. Well, dear ones, you can be as independent as you like, yet you can never ever be independent from connecting with people, for you are joined with one another.

Let Us say there is a team of two horses or twelve horses who are pulling a carriage or more. Each horse is pulling with all his might. For all intents and purposes, each horse is pulling alone. Each is carrying his load.

None of the planets – besides the Moon – change signs this week, quite a change from last week’s transits. However, the skies always have some type of movements of interest and potential use. This week appears to be about Sun in dominion and Mercury in exaltation. Sun in Leo exactly conjuncts retrograding Venus this week, and he makes a separating trine to Uranus all week. Sun also starts to conjunct Jupiter in Virgo by the end of the week, and as Sun draws closer to the end of Leo, he prepares to enter Virgo and conjunct the fixed star Regulus.
