The Human Genome Project – A Cosmic Joke That Has Scientists Rolling in the Aisle

There is a “thing” I refer to as Universe Humor, others may refer to it as a Cosmic Joke. There have been times in all of our lives when we thought we knew exactly how some event or incident was going to turn out. We could be so convinced that we “knew” what was going to happen, that we would have bet the family farm and the kitchen sink on the outcome of the event. It is at moments like this, when the Universe surprises us by taking a left turn instead of a right.

While in most cases such a turn of events may evoke anger, disappointment or disillusion, I usually respond by shaking my head in profound awe of the perverse nature of Universe Humor. Here I thought I knew exactly how things would turn out and then find myself surprised, the wind knocked out of me. In wonder, I must rethink and reconsider the beliefs I held that led me to my faulty conclusion.

Many of you have used struggle and effort as a means of self definition and navigating life. Finally getting beyond the struggle allowed you to accept whatever rewards you felt you were worthy of, and gave you a sense of satisfaction and appreciation. The struggle/reward way of living is like a relationship that is filled with drama. At some point most humans get tired of the effort that involves and choose something that is more consistently satisfying and easier. The same applies to walking a path of struggle.

What if it doesn’t need to be that hard? How do you feel when you consider living a life of ease? Does the idea of ease bring up negative connotations for you? Do you consider ease to be laziness? Do you think it would be boring? Do you think you would stop learning and growing if your life was easier? That you would lose your drive? Do you feel you would stop deserving things or appreciating things if you lived a life of ease?

Dear Ones, you will create the exact amount of struggle you require to get your attention and facilitate growth and expansion in your life. What if you made a sacred commitment to put your learning, experiences, evolution and appreciation for each Now moment your top priority? What purpose would struggle then serve you, if you were already willingly in that flow of expansion?

Capitalism started with the idea of free enterprise and competition. People made their goods, presented them to consumers, who based their decision to buy on their real need for the items and the quality of the products as they saw them. The products stood on their own, and early advertising was essentially a means of informing the public. Products were presented with messages about usefulness, quality, and durability. A blue jeans ad in an old Sears, Roebuck catalogue, for example, simply showed blue jeans in good, better, and best qualities. Then advertisers discovered that products sell better when the ads play to our insecurity about our desirability, sexuality, and lovableness. Over time, advertising shifted from extolling the quality of a product to associating its use with the consumer’s sex appeal. Show a cute teenager sticking her butt out in tight blue jeans, with an attractive guy looking at her, add a classy label, and you can triple the price of the jeans.

If you’re seeking enlightenment through meditation, or perhaps you’re just looking to obtain a good night’s rest, you need a healthy pineal gland. Often referred to as the third eye, this small, pinecone-shaped endocrine organ located in the brain secretes and regulates melatonin, the hormone that regulates your circadian rhythms (your sleep-wake cycle) and certain sex hormones.

Top 5 Foods for the Pineal Gland

Calcification is an issue that occurs to everyone, but it’s increased in individuals that eat a poor diet. The problem is that overexposure to fluoride and phosphorus destabilizes your body’s mineral balance. This causes your pineal gland to calcify quickly. Nearly half of Americans experience pineal calcification by the age of 18! This disrupts your natural rhythms and hormones.

“Yes, but negative is an illusion. Negative and positive are both construction material. Negative is evolutionary catalyst.” ~ Dolores Cannon, A Message from the Subconscious. (The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth)

Once we have embraced the idea of continuing on and transcended the idea of the fixed self, we can begin to apprehend the cycles of karma in our lives and how they may be holding us back from our greater purpose.

Without experiencing a past life regression where the subconscious, soul or guardian energies communicate directly to us through our own mouths what we should be focusing on is not necessarily a bad thing; if we are connected to our inner voice or are able to invite these answers in, then they will inevitably find us. Like the cycles of karma we are ‘unconsciously’ experiencing, we can chose to attract the solution to them, and probably secretly know this information already.

The Shamanic View of Mental Illness by Stephanie Marohn with Malidoma Patrice Somé

In the shamanic view, mental illness signals “the birth of a healer,” explains Malidoma Patrice Somé. Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.

What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as “good news from the other world.” The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm. “Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into the same field,” says Dr. Somé. These disturbances result when the person does not get assistance in dealing with the presence of the energy from the spirit realm.

From the first moment I saw you, I saw Myself created. Before that, from the first moment I thought of you, We were already One. Before that, before I conceived of you, We are already One. I drew Myself out in many drawings of Myself, all of which are My beloved Self.

This is how it is that created life is all illusion. From Truth, illusion was born, a precious illusion was born. Earth is blessed with you, and you are blessed with Earth, this made-up profusion of wondrousness. Yes, wondrous are you made in My image. Although made in My image, you are the Real Thing. How many ways can I encapsulate Myself in a drawing of you? As many ways as there are My children. Think of it. You are a Child of God. No, not off an assembly line. Not at all. Made by hand. Made by My heart. Perfectly made by My heart. For the joy of life, I materialized Myself. I populated a world and placed you in it. I told you to go ahead and multiply love.

There can be no more love than there already is. Love is already full, and yet you circulate love. Money is not love, yet you circulate love by spending it. Love is Infinite, and yet you distribute it so you can see love in front of you. You are to spend love so you know what love feels like. Love is to be given, and you are the giver of it. All love is to your Self. Through ways and means, you deliver love. Love reaches all the way to Heaven. Anything else does not, and, yet, Love Is All. There are no two ways about it.

As we journey further down the path of who we truly are, making sure that you are creating a life that also reflects who you truly are is imperative. For our inner and outer worlds coincide and work together to create our realities.

The definition of a Manifestation is: An event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea.

Manifestations occur when you have asked and willed the Universe for something, the Universe will respond based on where your focus lays. You must embody, integrate and put action forth to Be who you truly are and to Create a life and world you call home.

Lack mentality has over taken humanity like a festering disease, causing us to project our focus on the opposite of our desire.

How is this so? It is because we are separate from our self as a whole and isolated from what truly serves us and makes us happy.
