HJ: Everything should be as simple as possible and no simpler, according to Einstein.  Wise words from a brilliant and wise man.  If you’re in overwhelm or even just feeling stretched a bit thin, it’s time to reconsider and slow down, which ironically will lead to more success and perhaps most importantly, more enjoyment out of life.

3 Ways to Make Your Life Simple and Successful Again

By Marc Chernoff | Marc and Angel

“There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.”
―Leo Tolstoy

We all have days, weeks, months and – for some – even years of feeling anxious and overwhelmed with the work we have yet to do. It’s an elusive feeling that aches from deep within. From the outside, people think you have it all together, but they can’t see what’s going on in your head. Stress fills your thoughts and emotions all too often, nagging at you throughout the day. You have so many things to do and they never seem to get done. You always feel a day late and a buck short. The pressure is intense and overwhelming.

Scientists exploring the phenomena of cymatics have observed and documented how vibration governs the form of physical matter. When vibrational energy and information are introduced via sound, light, or other vibrational stimuli, physical systems change their form and function. Vibration can be perceived in multiple sensory ways, with all of our 5 senses being ways of interpreting vibratory patterns in our environment. Everything that is perceived to exist in physical reality is just the narrow, dense layer of wave forms and vibration that is being projected and manifested by higher density vibrational fields. Physicists have discovered that any particle which appears to exist is in a sense a snapshot of a wave, which appears in a momentary frozen form as a result of the observer perceiving it in order to crystallize a reality for the observer. Nothing is truly solid or stable, everything is energy in some state of motion, i.e. vibration.

The beginning of beauty, knowledge, truth and acceptance always starts within. Yes, you can look at the truths of others, examine, disseminate and think about them; however, it is up to you to decide what to incorporate for yourself. You were not provided with an instruction manual, but there have been maps all along the way. ~ Creator

Do you constantly allow your power to be taken from you? Are you aware of the effect this has on you energetically?

For a brief moment, take your mind back to your school days. Do you remember a bully in the playground? Maybe you were one who was bullied. Maybe you were one who knew it was wrong and wanted to do something, but kept a low profile so the bully would not come after you. In reality, there is not much difference between the one bullied and the one that stood by without taking action. Both have their power taken away by another. The only difference is that one is by violation, and the other is by fear. The effect is the same.

Aren’t you glad those days have passed? I propose they haven’t. It is just that the bully of your adulthood wears different clothes from the school uniform of the past. He, or she (or for that matter it, if we refer to the ‘system’) is still there trying to take your power.

“According to evidence unearthed from the archives of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the United States, it has been established that Monsanto was fully aware of the potential of glyphosate [the primary ingredient in Roundup] to cause cancer in mammals as long ago as 1981…EPA was worried in 1981 that these indications were sinister, and at first declined to issue a NOEL (no observed adverse effect level) — it asked for further information and additional research. In its 1982 Addendum, Monsanto presented evidence that minimised the effects and confused the data — and on that basis EPA accepted that glyphosate was unlikely to be dangerous. But Monsanto knew that scrutiny of the data in the studies would potentially threaten its commercial ambitions, and so it asked for the research documents concerned to be withheld and treated as Trade Secrets. So there was no effective independent scrutiny. Monsanto and EPA connived in keeping these documents away from unbiased expert assessment, in spite of the evidence of harm...

With every day that goes by, more people are awakening to the injustice being perpetrated at the top of the social/economic hierarchy, and as we awaken, we assemble to figure out how we can make a change.

We’re also becoming aware of the spiritual nature of our existence and the fact that we’re innately spiritual beings who have yet to truly discover our Godliness.

We’re searching for answers to the questions that burn deep within, which are now coming to the surface, and we’re encouraging the rest of the world to find the answers to their own deeply rooted questions.

Those questions usually have to do with how we can expose and dethrone the elitists who unjustly control the world and how we can connect with our inner Self, and our passion and inspiration will rise as we find the answers we’ve searched for.

We’re creating and contributing to a massive spiritual revolution that’s rooted in awareness and empowerment for the common man. We’re realizing that we aren’t “common” at all, and we can do anything we put our minds to.

Ever wonder what makes those wacky, creative types tick? How is it that some people seem to come up with all kinds of interesting, original work while the rest of us trudge along in our daily routines?

Creative people are different because they operate a little differently. They:

1. Are easily bored

A short attention span isn’t always a good thing, but it can indicate that the creative person has grasped one concept and is ready to go on to the next one.

2. Are willing to take risks

Fearlessness is absolutely necessary for creating original work, because of the possibility of rejection. Anything new requires a bit of change, and most of us don’t care for change that much.

3. Don’t like rules

Rules, to the creative person, are indeed made to be broken. They are created for us by other people, generally to control a process; the creative person needs freedom in order to work.

If you are in a human body and you are not the Dalai Lama it is very possible that you have experienced an intense negative reaction to someone at some point in your life. In some cases, the feeling is so strong that you might feel guilty for having it. It’s if there is an evil twin inside of you, trying to break through your chest and wrap its hands around this others person’s neck and shake them up a bit. Or worse. I am familiar with this phenomenon, especially during times when I am in a growth spurt and facing my shadow is an essential part of that process. There is no escaping it.

That is the shadow energy in all of us. The shadow consists of unnamed and disowned parts of us that were deemed unacceptable by society. It is not OK to be lazy, greedy, jealous, competitive or even to have a high sex drive. Yet, as we are all pieces of the mosaic of life, these traits, feelings and tendencies exist inside us, hiding in the dark corners of our psyche.

When we have such a strong negative emotional reaction to someone it is an amazing opportunity for our personal growth....
