This is it, folks. Last call. Gonna step up or not? This is the final fight, perhaps the last for humanity. What are you going to do? Observe, wait, watch, criticize or just ignore it all? That’s what most people have been doing – why break the streak? That’s what humanity appears to love to do.

The amount of people cratered in their own selfish cyclical lives is repugnant. The lack of response to our clearly contrived and very dangerous condition is anathema to me. It’s not that I do not understand it, it is simply unacceptable.

How can human beings watch while their world is caving in on them by clearly ill-intentioned forces? Do we really think there’s nothing we can do?

Billions Arise – And It Starts with Each One of Us...

Dear Ones, the enlightenment process is more about being than doing. More about flowing than forcing. More about joy than struggle. More about embracing the light than fighting the darkness. It is about discovering the truth of who you are, and who you have always been. It is about seeing love as the great expander, magnifier, healer, unifier and connector. It is about being a willing dance partner with a universe that has always been there to support and assist you in this magnificent process of coming home to yourself. ~Archangel Gabriel

As we continue to understand more and more about the current state of our world, we experience the urge to dissociate with such an unaligned design of society.

It’s easy to loose one’s self is the dense heaviness of the current state of our planet.

We are here to fully understand the earth experience and to help guide and raise the frequency of this planet, not to keep our light and awareness isolated.

It is not about disconnecting and suffering through the Human experience, its about understanding the fundamental connection between us all.

Connect to yourself and all of creation.

The key is letting go and being transparent, allow your highest intentions and most vulnerably real self to be revealed through you.

When experiencing something new or intense, try not to analyze it or give it any sort of meaning. Just go with the flow and understand there will be time to analyze the experience after you have had it; so stay present.

God said:

The Truth of You bears no resemblance to the harried person you disguise yourself in. You are not this pressured person you think you are.

Sometimes you feel frazzled. However, frazzle is like a hot spell in the weather. There can be a hot spell in the weather. You can experience a heat wave, yet you are not the heat wave. You can have a hot spell, yet a hot spell is outside you. Frazzle is an addendum to the apparent appearance that is not you at all. If you were not hiding out in a body, you would have no clue as to what stress and strain could be. We come back again and again that you are not your body. Your body has temperature. The Essence of You does not. The Essence of You has nothing to do with up or down or any apparent change.

Consider stress like a sauna your body steps into. You are not a sauna. Your body enters a sauna, and your body steps out of a sauna. You can open the door, and you step out the same way you stepped in.

You, outlined in the form of a body, can kick up a storm, yet you can never be a storm. You can erupt like a volcano. You can be called a volcano, yet you are not a volcano. Your body can bear witness to a volcano. Your body can erupt, yet the essence of you remains Pure Being.

You can be called a spit-fire, yet Who You Are bears no resemblance to a spit-fire.

“Great Teachers can lead you to the doors of understanding, but it is up to you to enter.” – Lao Tzu

The Monks and The Woman

Two celibate monks, forbidden from even glancing at a woman were traveling to a monastery when they came to a river. The river was very flooded and was impossible to cross without getting wet. They had just decided which would be the shallowest path across the river when the monks noticed a woman a little way along on the same bank, also trying to find a way to cross.

Since the woman was having great trouble and being the gentleman that he was, one of the monks offered to carry her across on his shoulders. She accepted and they began to wade across; they reached the other side where he set her down, she thanked him and went her own way. The monks carried on in silence. ‘Why did you carry that woman across the river?’ The monk asked the other in dismay, ‘We are not allowed to talk to, touch… even let our eyes fall upon a woman let alone carry her! What were you thinking?’ The other monk listened with a smile upon his lips, then softly said. ‘But I put her down when I crossed the river. Why are you still carrying her?’

HJ: Our perception dictates whether we choose to see negativity or positivity—meaning that it is ultimately a choice.  Every single situation can be viewed in a positive or negative manner and both are equally valid.  Evidence can always be found to support each position.  So which are you choosing?  Something uplifting and expansive or contractive and negative?

17 Ways to Conquer Soul-Crushing Negativity

By Angel Chernoff | Marc and Angel

When we are aware of our weaknesses or negative tendencies, we open the opportunity to work on them.

Ever had one of those moments when all you wanted to do was crawl back in bed, put a pillow over your head and shut out the world for a few hours? For a few days?

New research has opened up questions that it may be possible to lose your empathetic ability over time or that it could even possibly be increased through training. These questions were raised because scientists have recently discovered they can physically see people’s empathetic ability on brain scans. This research has added a great deal of information to the neuroscience field relating to emotion and has opened up questions with regards to two areas of empathy in particular: affective empathy and cognitive empathy. Compared to people who have a logical reaction to people’s emotions, empathetic people, or those with a strong emotional reaction to others, are found to have denser grey matter in specific areas of the brain.

Researchers at Monash University ^[1] hypothesised that through looking at images of the brain, they would be able to predict where individuals scored on the affective/cognitive empathy scale based on their neurological structures. A co-author of the study, Robert Eres, explained ^[2] that “people who are high on affective empathy are often those who get quite fearful when watching a scary movie, or start crying during a sad scene. Those who have a high cognitive empathy are those who are more rational, for example, a clinical psychologist counselling a client.”

1. Live a life filled with compassion and positive action.

Buddha wasn’t the only religious leader who wanted you to be compassion – you can find that teaching in others like Jesus Christ and Mohammed. It isn’t just beneficial to the world, it’s beneficial to your own spirit too. Compassion is critical to finding peace within yourself and taking care of yourself. And it may sound a little bit corny, but we all do better when we all do better.

2. Pay attention.

It annoys me to hear people to prattle on about “waking up” because it’s usually said in such a condescending way, but there is some validity to the idea of seeing the world for what it truly is. It requires mindfulness, that is paying attention to the little things around you. Many people don’t ever learn how to do that. So wake up, live mindfully, pay attention – whatever you want to call it. Just do it.

3. Be the change...
