You ask Me for happiness. It is My desire that you be happy, yet you do not always recognize happiness where it’s right here before you.
 
Yes, of course, happiness is relative. What makes you happy today may become ordinary to you next week. What gives you happiness may not be what makes someone else happy. To someone, a crust of bread may be happiness. To you, a crust of bread may not be relished. You may even cut crusts off bread without a backward glance.
 
What you require as a precursor to happiness is a great and clear vision. This is not an intellectual exercise We are speaking of. This is not getting smarter. Happiness is about how and what you see. Where do you see from? See with a smile and not a pout.
 
Everything you do see and hear does not come labeled as happiness, you understand. Happiness is a twist you give to what you see. In one sense, happiness is your due. On the other hand, you are a participant in the discovery of happiness. It is you who embraces happiness. It isn’t exactly a coat you put on, yet it is something like that. You have to pick up happiness and claim it as yours at the same time as you do not demand happiness.
 
Sometimes you equate happiness with being pleased in the sense that it will come to you just like that, by a snap of your fingers. At the same time, happiness enters of its own accord. Set the table for happiness.
 

There is no battle. Light is light because it is light. Dark is dark because it is dark. One exists to enhance the other. It just is. Light brings light and dark will show up for you in wonderfully sinister ways. You can bring whatever you choose to your sphere of influence. ~ Creator

For many of you, the act of surrender takes tremendous courage. That is because you don’t quite trust it and fear the unknown. You think it may be better but you are also afraid that it may mean careening about wildly. When you truly understand the act of surrendering into the flow, and know that it can only take you to a better place, you will see there is nothing to fear. Surrendering is choosing to enter the flow of unconditional love. It is dropping your resistance and allowing yourself to be carried, guided, loved and supported beyond all your […]

HJ: A mind without a heart is dangerous and a heart without a mind is reckless, but when the two meet and are balanced in perfect harmony, we become wise.  And we then begin to live in full alignment with our true spiritual selves.

Spiritual Evolution – Uniting Heart And Mind

By Brandon West | Project Global Awakening

–

We are all experiencing very specific life cycles, and they are designed specifically for us. They are like a university course designed to teach us a specific set of information, but instead of graduation they ultimately lead to energetic, consciousness, biological, and spiritual evolution (which are all the same thing).

Our life experiences and

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.”  - Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte

In the spring of 1994, I traveled to Dharmsala, India to shoot video for a documentary on Tibetan’s view of aging. It raised many questions within me regarding...

That you live on Earth is a blessing to Me and to you and the whole wide world. I am the Acme of Your Life. I am the Culmination, and you have Me right now arm in arm with you. I give you the Gift of Life. I sponsored you, and I sponsor you still.
 
How well I am aware of the matters that grind over and over in your mind and wear you out. You may treasure Me for the gifts I give you, yet you may not treasure Life Itself. You do not want to be so close to Life, so involved in it, so up and down in it like a peripatetic elevator. You are so caught up in the Stream of Life, and the lesser matters that you allow to aggravate you to an extreme over and over again, do you not?
 
I hear you cry to Me:
 
“Dear God, would I learn that what has been done and not done right is not worth the aggravation I give to it. I would love to be free of aggravation, yet, apparently, I jump on the bandwagon of being upset. I often think: If only others would think ahead, all the grief there would not be.
 
“Of course, if only I had thought ahead. If only I had. Every time I am the culprit, God. Yes, if others had done thus and so, it would be better. Yes, if I had done thus and so, it would be better. I wouldn’t be aggravating now.
 
“I am in a slump. It must be that I need to sit up straight and make room in life for myself. I must stand tall. I don’t want to make myself an ant any longer climbing up and down these little hills of upset that I make so important.
 

The Universe gifted you and each of your brothers and sisters with the ability to heal, change, grow, learn and step into who you really are. No one person hold this, no one person is privy to privileged information. It already exists in you, remember who you are. ~ Creator
