Sometimes you forget that Unconditional Love surrounds you every moment. When things get to be too much for you; stop, breathe and know you are loved. ~ Creator

You are in the perfect place in the perfect time – right here, right now. It may not be aligned with what your mind is telling you should be in your life, but the Universe has positioned you for growth by having you experience whatever it is you’re going through at the present moment. Furthermore, the Universe keeps you there for as long as it takes for you to learn what you need to know for the next leg of your journey.

There are times when it seems you’ve plateaued and that your circumstances have lasted way longer than necessary. You’re saying to the Universe, “Alright already! I get it!” yet the situation persists. This is reflective of the need to take right action in the situation. It’s not merely the need to understand the lesson, but to determine the next task, decision or strategy that will move you past the hump.

The society and culture in which you have grown up programmed those fixed patterns of the mind into you, and your identity who you are and what your job is in this world, is based upon those patterns. These systematic patterns of thoughts, programmed into you by your parents and teachers are deeply embedded into your mind and subconscious by the psychological mechanisms of identification, and they automatically surface every now and then.  Whether you like it or not, these thoughts come and go, your mind is in constant motion. These patterns strive to be self-sustaining, and they generate the work of mind. The result is the cobweb of thoughts with which you identify and that is how you live your life.

In-Depth Programming of the Mind

The fixed patterns of your mind are individual, since they reflect the expectations of the particular environment in which you have been brought up. The expectations usually influence you unconsciously, almost like automatic deep programs of the mind.

New enhanced-color images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft revealed unexplained arc-shaped, reddish streaks on the surface of Saturn's icy moon Tethys.

The red arcs are narrow, curved lines on the moon's surface, and are among the most unusual color features on Saturn's moons to be revealed by Cassini's cameras.

Images taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create the enhanced-color views, which highlight subtle color differences across the icy moon's surface at wavelengths not visible to human eyes.

A few of the red arcs can be seen faintly in observations made earlier in the Cassini mission, which has been in orbit at Saturn since 2004. But the color images for this observation, obtained in April 2015, are the first to show large northern areas of Tethys under the illumination and viewing conditions necessary to see the arcs clearly...

It is not a surprise that all negative thinking is fear-based, but did you know that chronic negative thinking that goes on day-after-day creates stress that can damage the body and mind, resulting in disease or worse? Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the mind/body has a hidden defense that safeguards us from the extreme damage of fear, anxiety and worry. That defense is depression.

Depression is your body’s defense mechanism against the ill-effects of chronic negative thinking. Depression ‘turns down’ all emotional responses. Without depression, your body must deal with the constant fight-or-flight stress response that is the result of chronic negative thinking. Depression literally depresses the effects of negative thinking by numbing-you-out to fear, but depression is not selective so you also become numb to other emotions, such as love and joy.

“Authenticity is about returning and magnifying who you are, instead of trying to become someone who you think you should be. It’s about peeling off the false adornments and standing wholly, holy, and true.” ~Akosua Dardaine Edwards

Being authentic is one of the most difficult things one can achieve, but without doing so one can never live a fulfilled life, filled with joy and celebration. In a world were people wear masks to cover the true uniqueness of their being, to stop pretending that you are something that you are not and honestly express yourself is very hard, but it’s the only way to love yourself and spontaneously act out of the depths of your mind and heart. In this article you will learn how to be your true self by discovering and expressing your authenticity in 3 steps, which can transform your entire life.

Don’t conform.
