You are given a choice, you are always given a choice.  I will say this again in a different way, “You choose!”  Many of you believe that outside forces dictate where you go, what your life will be and where you end up.  The ultimate gift of free will, something that was given and can never be taken from you, is yours.  When you view your existence in this manner, you will begin to see exactly how many opportunities are available to you.  You are not a victim of time and circumstance, you are a creator and co-creator! ~ Creator

Venus Retrograde – on July 25^th the planet Venus will begin a 43 day retrograde period of which 39 days will be spent in the House of Leo. Now I’m not going to bore you about the mundane effects of this retrograde. Other astrologers can tell you about the dramas, breakups, shopping, and beauty blunders to come. Instead, I’m going to focus on the alchemical value and potential of this energy so that everyone has a clear understanding of how to cultivate their soul wisely as the Morning Star enters her moonwalk. So, if you’re looking for the deep wisdom of this time I invite you to read further…

Venus Retrograde – Golden Horizons

Let’s start with a bit of cosmic context. The Sun has just entered Leo and so has Mercury. Jupiter has been in Leo since July of 2014 and will remain in Leo until August 11^th, just long enough for one last conjunction kiss from Venus on August 4^th. Mars will blaze into Leo on August 8^th and then we have our next new moon in Leo on August 14^th in the degree of royal government. So, as you can see, there is and will be an extraordinary amount of Leo energy in the ether in the very near future. If there was ever a time to live purely and passionately from the heart it is absolutely, without a doubt, now!

Sometimes there are some people who, no matter how much painful their life might be, still try to help brighten the world through their words and actions. That’s the case of the amazing and unforgettable comic genius, Robin Williams, who recently decided to give up his life. Robin Williams helped put a smile on the face of thousands of people, even though he apparently was not happy himself, which only shows the true greatness of his spirit.

In honor of this great man, we have hand-picked some of the most insightful Robin Williams quotes on topics such as life, love, comedy, forgiveness, loneliness, sex, and beauty, that will leave you inspired by the amazing mind that he had. Enjoy.

In our life most of us have experienced one or two mysterious encounters, when visitors come to us from the unknown. These special guests are in fact our own children. We love them, and we are happy that they are here, but most of us do not accept them the way we should. They do not receive from us the deep respect and awe that wanderers who come from the depths of the Universe duly deserve.

Instead, we look upon our children as if they were our own property, and we try to condition them to become adults we will be able to be proud of. Are we really good hosts for these visitors, is this really the way we should receive our guests?

The Nature of the Conditioned Patterns of Mind

In order to find the correct answer to the question above, we first need to know ourselves as well as possible. Since if we ourselves are ignorant of what or who we are, and what the purpose of our existence in this world is, we will only be able to use the conditioned patterns of mind inherited from our parents and teachers.

Even with the highest of intentions, we are still raising our young from old paradigms that don’t work for evolving children. The fact that teenage depression and suicide are on the rise tells us that something is very wrong.

It is easy to say that depressed kids lack self-esteem — and of course this is true — but we need to ask why? There is a blatant and glaring reason that an epidemic of depression infiltrates our young. If you are a parent, this might be a difficult topic to embrace because it often makes us feel powerless, but when you understand the real reasons why kids are chronically depressed, you have the power to help your child turn it around.

How to slay the pains of the past and present? Forgiveness is the key. Personally removing yourself as a “victim” is the lock. Are you ready to slay the dragon and begin to change your behaviors in order to become a more loving and compassionate person? It can happen in the twinkling of an eye, whenever you make the conscious choice to stop beating yourself up or convincing yourself that this is your lot in life.

First, you must fully desire to give up your role as victim. Accept any part of the scenario that you were responsible for, forgive others involved and by all means stop identifying yourself as a victim. Practice loving all unconditionally. Express your love by accepting others as they are. When each of you learns to do this, you will have gained the world and be able to receive all the blessings that are offered to you. In an instant, you can transform this world back into the paradise that it once was. It is simply a matter of choice and intention.

Life is made up of days, and if you focus on making each day beautiful – appreciating, enjoying and loving what is – in the end, you will have created a beautiful life. It’s that easy.

Here are 11 things you should remind yourself daily, things that will most probably bring more sunshine into your life and more peace into your heart:

1. This moment is your life.

Today, here and now, is where your life is. This moment is your life. And if you make a choice to immerse yourself fully into this moment – appreciating, enjoying and loving what is you will experience joy that you have never experienced before, and you will feel more alive than you have ever felt.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam

Though many have now heard of the ongoing atmospheric chemical spraying known as solar radiation management (SRM) and stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG), most are still not familiar with another form of geoengineering, “ocean fertilization“. Yes, the same global powers behind the ongoing atmospheric spraying insanity have also been “fertilizing” our oceans.

For those that are not familiar with ocean fertilization, the term refers to the intentional widespread distribution of massive amounts of bioavailable iron into our already-polluted seas, in order to encourage the creation of plankton blooms that then absorb and thus sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. Like aerosol geoengineering, ocean fertilization is contributing to the increasing “dead zones” around the globe.

When you choose to practice appreciation, you start to notice the divine perfection all around you. This helps you move into a greater trust and faith in the universe. Your greater trust and faith brings you peace and acceptance. Do you see? There is a lovely cascade of energies that occurs making from one simple, conscious choice. ~Archangel Gabriel
