There’s an amazing thing that happens when you step into practicing unconditional love for yourself. You lose your fear of mirrors, both the reflective, and the human, kind. ~Archangel Gabriel

You are not required to be anything for anyone, not even for yourself.  Surprised?  I knew you would be!
The only thing The Universe asks of you is to love.  Once you have that down, figuring out who you choose to be is effortless! ~ Creator

God said:

Certainly you know that when someone creates, he or she is in joy. Creating is self-expression. I expressed Myself in joy when I created you. You are My expression expressed. I wanted you. I want you still.

I see you as you really are. You see yourself in bits and pieces. Too often you see yourself as failing. I would love My Created sons and daughters to get over the idea that they are some kind of blasphemy or fool or miscreant.

How can it be that human beings, the Beings I created and gave the richest opportunities to, too often see themselves as unworthy. Many seem to carry around an idea of themselves as misbegotten.

No lion I know of roars at himself or claps his head and thinks: “What a rotten mistake I made. I am such a rotter.”

No cat I know of thinks he is imperfect.

No mouse thinks he doesn’t belong.

No animal that I know of plagues himself as My beloved human beings plague themselves. Human beings are good at misgivings. They excel at it. They can wrong and be wronged and live on the tears of their regrets as if their feelings of regret are food for the soul.

Too many human beings, instead of seeing themselves as the fairest of all, see themselves as the dregs. Let’s change this right now.

Be elated that you are alive. Do good, and when you err, don’t punish yourself for it. Go on. What you are guilty of is being a human being who questions himself over and over again. No matter what, do not indict yourself.

The past cannot be undone. But what you can change is how you feel about it. You’re tired of being negative. You’re ready to change. You need a plan. Read on, my friend, for this is the process of releasing negativity and restoring your spirit. Change is good.

Fear and Anger Are Killers
Ask any doctor. The stress of feeling badly all the times can easily lead to medical disorders. Your body and mind are a continuum. In other words, although they are not exactly the same, a great overlap exists between your mind and body, uniting them. Relieve your mental stress and your body will be happier, too. It’s time to unburden yourself of everything that has been blocking progress in your life by keeping you attached to an unhappy past.

Feeling Better Is a Process
Negativity accumulates in our lives, in our souls, over time. The process of removing it optimally happens in layers. It’s best to release as much of each stored negative emotion as you can during each successive attempt. And of course, you want a safe, private means of release that is as quiet and effective as possible. You can jettison all that old negativity easily and thoroughly by following simple instructions.

There is much controversy associated with the existence of CHAKRAS. Many consider them to be a theory with no real backbone. Some believe they are the source of our wellbeing. And others even believe they are the key to enable our spiritual connection to the Universe.

So what are the Chakras?

Chakras were first described in the Hindu Scriptures (The Vedas) thousands of years ago, and literally means ‘wheels‘ of energy. They predominantly deal with energy flow in the body and are said to be focussed areas (or vortices) of high, expansive energy, within multiple locations in the body.

There are thought to be 114 Chakras within the body in total, but 7 main Chakras spanning from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, and are considered to follow the curvature of the spine.

The tobacco plant, nicotiana tabacum,has been cultivated, chewed and smoked by the Native Americans since about 6000 B.C., possibly longer. For millennia, tobacco has been an important part of society, and used frequently for ceremonial and medicinal purposes. And yet today, we all know that cigarettes are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in the US, as they are known to cause cancer, heart disease, lung problems, and more. They are expensive, and they are also heavily addictive- more so than cocaine and heroin.

One of the most active chemicals in tobacco is nicotine, which accounts for about 5% of the tobacco plant by volume. Nicotine is a naturally occurring liquid alkaloid, an organic compound made up of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. One cigarette smoked has about 10 milligrams of nicotine in it.

Nicotine has a profound effect upon many systems of the body, including the brain and the adrenals. In light of the association between cigarette smoking and death, it is surprising that scientists have begun researching nicotine for its potential health benefits.

More than 1,000 of the leading researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have signed and published an open letter calling for a ban on offensive autonomous weapons, also known colloquially as “killer robots”.

The letter, published July 27, 2015, has also been signed by many technologists and experts, including SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, physicist Stephen Hawking, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Skype co-founder Jaan Talinn and linguist and activist Noam Chomsky. 

Musk, Hawking and Wozniak have all recently warned about the dangers that AI poses to mankind. Though it has to be said, Wozniak thinks humans will be fine if robots take over the world; we’ll just become their pets.

The open letter urges the UN to support a ban on offensive autonomous weapons systems. This follows the April meeting of the Convention on Conventional Weapons held at the UN in Geneva discussing such an idea.
