In the famous Fibonacci sequence, each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two. It begins with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and continues so on. When you take two successive numbers in this sequence, their ratio is very close to 1.618, which is called the golden ratio. The Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio are present in many parts of the natural world including the shape of plants, human and animal bodies, weather patterns, and even galaxies. It is said that they govern order in the natural world.

Now, researchers from South Africa claim that the golden ratio can be seen in the topology of space-time, giving the argument that the ratio keeps the entire Universe in order.

Dr. Jan Boeyens at the University of Pretoria and Dr. Francis Thackeray of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa have researched the many ways that the golden ratio can be seen ‘related not only to aspects of mathematics but also to physics, chemistry, biology and the topology of space-time.’ The researchers believe that geometric shapes found in the natural world throughout the Universe ultimately succumb to the same mathematical property of 1.618.

In the wake of all the headlines emerging from institutional racism, I’d like to address the topic of racism as one of the many symptoms of ignorance to be balanced by compassion and knowledge, and how hate crime train wrecks are employed to turn all our heads while the real news goes unnoticed.

There are so many heads of the evil hydra that radiate from imbalance, and just as soon as one is decapitated through force, 3 more spring forth to command attention to the imbalance within. Racism is one of the most pernicious heads of this beast, but there is no amount of information that can cure it, and no amount of force that can deter it, for it will resurrect in greater strength unless and until it is balanced by love. If we finally address racism because it has reared its ugly head and we want it to go away, then we live externally, and the imbalance remains, albeit in quietus after the riots have quelled. The fuel of this mythical monster from which problematic heads, like racism, stem is fear, and fear is contrived and suspended by ignorance, and with all of the information that we have, to say nothing of the conscience embedded within us all, ignorance is a choice.

Whatever is bothering you, you do not have to be bothered with it. You are a responsible person, yet you do not have to aggravate or even suffer to the degree you have. Did someone tell you that you have to? Perhaps you were taught that you were to pay a penance for being alive, and the penance was to be called suffering or a bad headache, or non-stop aggravating thoughts, or dreams unfulfilled.

You just don’t have to do suffering anymore. You may think you have no choice, yet you do have choice. It’s your choice. In this world, choices are not always either/or as you may have thought. You may have thought that your choice is this one or that one, that your choices are limited to two. There could be many other choices as well that you have not considered and perhaps may not want to consider. You may see only the two black and white choices and go no further. You see happy or unhappy and no in between. Maybe you can be like a dial and be medium happy.

Maybe you like to suffer. If you suffer and you really don’t have to, then it must be a choice you make. You may be innocent, and still you have choice. If you want a way out of a maze, you have to find it. You do. You have to go for it. Maybe you have to be creative and think anew.

There are possibilities right in front of you that sometimes you don’t see. Perhaps you can think of such times and wonder how you didn’t think of this new alternative before?

Have you ever been driving on a long-distance road trip and not listened to the signs when you’ve started getting drowsy? Before you realize it, you begin to hear and feel the vibrating thumping of your tires as they begin to cross into the dividing lane. Hopefully, you wake up out of your daze and course-correct your tires to stay on course to overt danger. Your heart immediately begins to beat quickly as you realize that you could have been seriously injured or crashed to your death.

You realize that you’ve just experienced a serious wake-up call, yet have you to continue to drive with the commitment to reach your destination regardless of the blatant signs to stop. How often do we respond similarly throughout our daily life experiences? Beginning at an early age, we’re so programmed in Western culture to bust through all barriers in order to accomplish our goals…..but at what cost?...

Channeled through Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness, Oversoul Teachings

Note: I offer this message (and a few others that I’ll offer in the coming days) on the heels of a decision to merge my channeling and writing into what I call ‘meditative writing’. Combining my writing and channeling would mean I no longer produce ‘Oversoul Teachings’ messages, but I think it’ll give the articles you read from me an added boost.

Awareness and love are growing in the minds and hearts of an increasing number of souls who recognize that the time has come for divinely inspired change to manifest on your planet, and as many of you are learning, you’re the forces who’ve come to manifest this change.

Nobody except yourselves will ‘save’ your planet from the difficult situation you find yourselves in, and those of you who feel particularly inspired to begin contributing to your conscious revolution can recognize that even though you’ve been led to give your power away to external authority figures – and this has carried over into the spiritual realms with the idea that the Company of Heaven are your ‘saviors’ – you’re the ones who are intended to make all of the changes that need made to your planet.

Dear Ones, if you wish to shift into a better feeling energy, just love. Find something to love. Find a situation to love. Find an animal to love. Wrap yourself up in love. Go to a place you love. Send love to your planet. Send love to your past self and your future self. Show your love by giving to a charity. Go out on a mission of love and beam it to every human being and situation you come across. Because the act of loving is how you can instantaneously reconnect with the truth of your being, which will immediately shift you into your highest alignment and allow you to feel wonderful. That is the beautiful thing about loving – whether you are giving or receiving, everybody wins. ~Archangel Gabriel
