There are plenty of ways we can find enlightenment, and they all require dedication to the spiritual path. Even though it’ll be worth our effort, enlightenment is probably the hardest thing we’ll ever experience because it requires us to seriously discern what about our life is keeping us from achieving our goal.

Some seekers think enlightenment will just happen without any real effort or focus, and unfortunately, this isn’t true. We have to strive for it in a sense, but the only real ‘striving’ we need to do is in detaching our focus from the external and looking to our internal reality for the love and wholeness we seek.

This world can be heavenly if we let it, and I don’t think we need to all-out renounce it like some spiritual teachers have told us. People feed heavenly and hellish qualities here, and we have a choice as to which qualities we want to feed each day.

The Matrix program is crashing. It is outdated programming and its engineers can’t keep up. The vibrational changes are exceeding their capabilities. You know how your phone or computer’s software goes out of date, and new programs can’t operate? It’s the same thing. The imitators of creation can’t maintain a current operating system any longer in the face of this Universal shift. And it’s driving them nuts.

Just look at the desperation we’re witnessing. Crude military and police state maneuvers are only one aspect. The biggest clue is seeing the previously incremental and now hyperbolic use of monstrous lies that are becoming so unbelievably transparent to just about anyone. Agreed, there are the entranced apathetics who swallow anything, but we’re witnessing a meltdown before our eyes.

No one really likes to wait. When we really want something and have to wait for it, some of us may have the tendency to become anxious, especially if we’ve got a lot on our plate. Right now as I write this article, my dog Koda is going through a serious health condition. My mind was racing with the “What ifs, Am I doing everything I can? Do I have all the information I need from the veterinarians?” Needless to say I was totally stressed and my mind was doing a number on me! After all, I am still just a human. I had to STOP and remind myself to: “Stay in the Present Moment!” It is a constant lesson I am learning and will continue to learn throughout my whole life: to remain calm and to stay in the present moment by being mindful.

By staying present, I now have ALL the information I need, my mind has slowed down, and with it the stress has subsided. Koda and I will get through this together, and I feel he will be fine.

Taking things one day at a time and staying in the present moment can dramatically reduce stress, keep you calm, and help to keep you focused as you deal with all of the things going on in your life...

HJ: The results you get in your life are largely a result of your emotional state (and at a deeper level your beliefs…) and so your attitude is in a sense, everything.  That is why it is so important to consistently engage in activities and experiences that cultivate a positive attitude and emotional state.  Below, you will find a list, not so much of activities, per se, but of powerful techniques and mindsets that will allow you to shift your emotions on demand.  And that, my friends, is a highly useful thing to be able to do.

Intense geoengineering activity across the planet is influencing weather patterns globally to unprecedented levels. After studying one year of video on aerosols emission and transport, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has found aerosol pollution is changing weather and climate around the planet and strengthening extratropical cyclones–a type of storm system that drives much of the world’s weather.

Scientists call airborne particles of any sort — human-produced or natural — aerosols. However, human-produced aerosals are now a top contributing source of pollution and a major concern, especially due to operations by international governments through military aircraft which pollute the sky almost daily to influence climate. The simplest effect of increasing aerosols is to increase clouds. To form clouds, airborne water vapor needs particles on which to condense. With more aerosols, there can be more or thicker clouds. In a warming world, that’s good. Sunlight bounces off cloud tops into space without ever reaching Earth’s surface, so we stay cooler under cloud cover.
