From your perspective, it is hard or even impossible to accept that you and I are One. Anyone can see so many variants between Us. You see that I know Everything. And when you are frank with yourself, you admit that you know Nothing. So, then, how can We be One and the Same and be so far apart? Helpless, hapless you and All-Knowing All-Powerful God?
 
To your mind, if you could take photos of Me and develop or download them, you can’t imagine a semblance. And beyond the surface levels, you also see a great leap between My capabilities and yours. It is too much to fathom. What other way can you take this far-flung idea but with a grain of salt?
 
That’s the whole thing, dear ones, if you could but know Who you are. If you could but fit that idea into your mind, well, how happy you would be. At this point, even if you didn’t know Everything, you would be grateful to know Anything that can stand up in this world and make sense to you.
 
So, then, am I saying that your powerfulness is hidden from you? Yes, I do say that. I’m well aware that you see yourself as a smidgeon next to Me.
 
You can readily perceive that you are a branch of Me or perhaps a twig of Me. You live a life for Me on Earth. You live through Me, and I also live through you. You weave tales of life and hold Me responsible for how your life turns out. Let’s be honest. Sometimes you see Me as the bad guy and sometimes as the good guy. What you make of life and what you make of Me is of your making. It is your story.

Here's a deep question for you: how do you choose to relate to the idea or concept of "self"?

When you think of "yourself", do you equate it to your body, mind, characteristics, personality, etc?

Or do you equate it to pure consciousness itself?

Many will go with option one, as it's what we're all conditioned to accept and not delve too far beyond.

But what if your true identity were consciousness itself…not everything else you've thought it to be your entire life?

What IS your true, core identity?

Documentary Film - The Sacred Science is a world-class documentary with a powerful, revolutionary message. This film transcends Western medicine and highlights a whole new realm of healing using medicinal plants. It follows eight people with serious health problems into the depths of the Amazon rainforest as they seek healing and transformation that Western medicine is unable to provide to them.

Acceptance is a necessary aspect for the enlightening human being. Let us explain why. If you can accept that you are a vital and beloved piece of Source energy, and that you are loved unconditionally, you will start to see your brilliance and value. As you accept you are loved unconditionally, you will fill up with that love and it will spill over, allowing you to love others unconditionally, and drawing even more love to yourself in return.

As you see yourself as an extension of Source energy, you will start to embrace your authentic power. By accepting your worth, your divinity, you will start to create and accept the many blessings the universe wishes to bestow upon you. You will whole-heartedly embrace all experiences and people as divine, as well, which will lead to far greater peace and allowing. You will start to live a far more empowered and satisfying life expression, all due to the massive energetic shift true acceptance creates. ~Archangel Gabriel

HJ: You have an innate brilliance that you can access whenever you want simply by practicing certain ways of being, that counterintuitively are actually fun and relaxing.  That’s right, our brilliance tends to arise when we let go and relax to balance out the intense focus and concentration with which most of us engage our work.  Like all things in life it is about balance.

For many of us we have been brought up within a social structure that demands we become a ‘productive member’ of our society; thus much emphasis is placed upon developing individual skills so that we can compete with each other for social betterment. Inherent in this is a residual fear that if we open ourselves too much to others we may lose our ‘competitive edge’ and defined sense of individuality. Much of mainstream media (aka propaganda) has exploited the mythological images, collective stereotypes, and subconscious signifiers that play on our collective vulnerabilities and social fears. Knowledge has more or less trickled down to the average person...
