What is love? Love is flow, openness, acceptance, inclusion. It is what energizes, expands, encourages and uplifts. It is the essence of your beingness, your highest expression of truth and self. It is your innate goodness and God-ness, gloriously expressed. ~Archangel Gabriel

Shelley’s note: I usually spend some time checking emails and fb before I write the daily message. Today’s insisted on being written as I was in the middle of doing that. I can’t help but feel that it is special response to the Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage in the United States yesterday. Love IS leading the way!

The assuaging of the ego is but a temporary ‘fix’. Of all the things you do in a day, of all the decisions and plans you make; ego has no place. The only thing that matters is love. ~ Creator

“Citizens of the democratic societies should undertake a course of intellectual self-defence to protect themselves from manipulation and control, and to lay the basis for meaningful democracy.” – Noam Chomsky

Edward Bernays is possibly one of the most influential people of the 20th century, yet so few have heard of a man who has manipulated much of Western society into compliance. His philosophies and understanding of the human psyche still shape public policy, political campaigns, and corporate integration to this day. How corporations deliver their messages, how politicians coerce citizens to believe and enter into phoney wars, how terrorism is promoted and engenders fear into the masses, and how Think Tanks are used to manipulate citizens were all in the realm of Edward Bernays.

Bernays Wrote “Propaganda,” A 159 Page Manuscript On How To Manipulate The Masses

We are constantly in contact with our higher selves; they are an infinite aspect of us. It is an interconnected aspect of our consciousness that sends and receives information from us at all times. It takes the practice of concentration and deeply listening to hear your higher self directly.

A lot of the time, the ways they send messages are subtle and it’s our job to figure out the meaning behind them. Our higher selves want us to learn and ask questions, not to just be given the answer.  Here are some of the subtle ways our higher selves communicate with us.

1. Through our own thoughts

A common question asked within the spiritual community is when will I receive direct contact? For a lot of us, the answer is you already are.

God said:

Thoughts are throw-a-ways. This is the nature of thoughts – here today, gone tomorrow. There is no saving or filing away all the thoughts you run through even in one afternoon.

In fact, you may have a thought so rich that you run to write it down. Before you reach your pen and paper or computer or shopping list, the thought has fled. It ran away without you, yet, where did it go? Where and what the thought is now? You have no idea. It already flew away, and, for the life of you, you can’t seem to bring it back. Of course, it could pop back into your mind at an unknown moment, and you may see that a thought is only a thought and not the great revelation you thought it was and perhaps is. Anyway, you have lost that thought now.

In one sense, We could say that your thoughts ARE the life you live. We could say then that your thoughts are as fleeting as life itself. You simply cannot hold on to your thoughts any more than you can hold onto time. Or, if you hold onto a thought, you have subdued it. You may have broken it down, and then your thought is like a bird on the wing caught and put into a cage and the little door of the cage closed. Whereas it makes sense to say that your life is made of your thoughts, this is not the whole story of your life. Your life also consists of All That Which Is Beyond Thought.

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner [to the observer]. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance.

If you believe synchronicity is simply a coincidence, then you haven’t read any of the top experts in the field. The famous psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung coined the term synchronicity in the 1920s to reference the alignment of universal forces with a person’s experiences.

These forces have been sought out for centuries in many spiritual traditions as a means of aligning with the “flow.” This usually takes years of disciplined meditation, study, ritual or by other means to navigate this journey toward a harmonic “individuation.” To some, the search is inward for the self, yet for others it’s an outward search for spirituality.
