“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

In our life’s journey, many of us have to confront people who hate us and are treating us badly or behave in a way that we find is inappropriate. As a reaction, some people choose to hate them back and treat them in a bad way as well so as to deal with them, thinking that they need to fight against them and win over them. To me, this only makes things worse, and one of the best way to deal with those who hate you is to actually love them. Here are three main reasons why you should do so.

Haters are also victims.

Have you ever questioned yourself why people hate? Were they born this way? Or maybe circumstances led them to do so?...

A recent survey suggests that for most of us that have ever had a pet companion, it’s a no-brainer that mammals and birds are emotional creatures, sharing emotions with multiple species and not just their own. Yet despite the thousands of YouTube videos and hundreds of recent scientific studies presenting easily accessible evidence and examples, not everyone thinks so.

It was only in 2012 that scientists finally agreed that nonhuman animals are conscious beings. Meanwhile, in the laboratory, we have only just discovered that dogs display immensely complex human-like emotions like jealousy, and we are only just deciphering how cows express positive emotions through the white of their eyes. But what about insects?

What are emotions?

Briefly, let’s touch on the definition of what an emotion is, which is still largely debated even today. While most of us are pretty convinced that emotions exist (seeing as we experience them ourselves), defining emotions is easier said than done

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ~ Thích Nhất Hạnh

For many of us, breathing is just an automatic function to bring in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, what we don’t realise is that breathing in a constricted manner from the chest, also known as shallow breathing, can increase our stress and anxiety levels.

The true nature of breath does not only lie in the fact that it’s responsible for life, but also, that it defines the quality of our life. David Coutler in the book, Anatomy of Hatha Yoga said, “the breath is the link between mind and body, and that if we can control our breath, we can control every aspect of our being.”

Last year the Brazilian Ministry of Health did something pretty radical: they created a food guide that actually reflects healthful eating habits.

The new guide offers a holistic, comprehensive, and ethical approach to diet, and the result is an incredibly refreshing (and quite radical – more on that later) manual for living a healthy life. Rather than dividing foods into subgroups in the typical Western, reductionist manner – carbs, protein, veggies, fruit, protein – and recommending what, in the Canadian context at least, feels like a simultaneously restrictive and unattainable number of servings to consume each day, Brazil’s guide breaks down foods in a much more natural way. Their four food categories are:

1. naturally or minimally processed foods;
2. oils, fats, salt and sugar;
3. processed foods (these include bread, cheeses, cured meats and pickles); and
4. ultra-processed foods.

Throughout recorded history, humankind have had very short lifespans. After the advent of agriculture, the average life expectancy shrunk to much less than 40 years. This is not a lot of time to figure out life. On top of that, with the advent of civilization, people had to toil most of the day under feudal lords. Most of them were slaves. Knowledge was scarce. Whatever knowledge was available was held by the elite. The high priests, royalty and the wealthy were the only ones with access to any knowledge. Most people were illiterate. They lived in ignorance.

At the advent of the printing press, knowledge became more available, especially in the developed countries. Libraries became common place and books became affordable. In many places around the world, people are offered a basic education for free. Our life span has nearly doubled, and knowledge exponentiated. Now most people have access to basic knowledge about atoms, quantum theory, stars and galaxies and so many things in between.

Wooohooo! The Greeks have shouted a resounding NO! No to “financial terrorism” by the powers-that-be. This is deeply significant for all those evolving lightwarriors who’ve been working tirelessly in the field. The work is paying off, humanity is beginning to step out of the shadows of unconsciousness by starting to take back personal sovereignty.

I’ve been saying for a while now that there have been big shifts in previous months in the underlying matrix field. A strong benevolent action back in April, which I personally witnessed and experienced on the etheric planes, has effectively broken the back of the Interdimensional Intervention.

You are all capable of being very adept energetic sorters. And you are so powerful, you can do it with just your focus!

Let us think about cleaning out your closet. You take each item and decide what you would like to continue to be part of your experience, and what you wish to release by donating, recycling or discarding. Releasing simply evaluates and decides you no longer wish to have something as part of your experience. You do not continue to look at the pile of worn and outdated clothes, crying that they exist. You do not despair, wondering when the pile of worn and outdated clothes will ever end. You simply examine each item and masterfully decide what you love and wish to continue to as part of your daily existence, and what no longer serves you, and take the appropriate action.

So why not take the same approach with your life? What do you wish to magnify and continue as part of your experience? You get to choose! And if you start to become very selective about what you bless with your continued focus, you will find that your days become more and more filled with what you love. Dear Ones, it is a skill you already have. ~Archangel Gabriel
