I suppose it shouldn’t come as too much of a shock given how many stars are in our galaxy, and given the fact that most of those stars probably have planets. But a group of astronomers have published research that asserts the possibility of complex life on an incredible hundred million worlds in our galaxy alone.

It may seem like a lot, but it’s actually a pretty small number when you take into account the 17 billion earth-sized planets in our galaxy. At the very least, the conditions necessary to support life may exist on 100 million worlds, but maybe not necessarily complex life.

If this estimate applies to all galaxies, there could be as many as 500 billion planets harboring complex life. Wow!

Their research was published in Challenges of Astrobiology.

The post

HJ: The position of the stars and planets at the moment of your birth does not determine the course of your life.  That is up to you.  However, what it does do is bestow upon you the talents, dispositions and personality with which you will navigate your path.  And therefore it is hugely influential, but, as always, you have free will to decide what to do with what you have been given.

Underneath all those layers of self-protection is a perfect, beautiful being waiting to emerge.Just as a butterfly emerges from its cocoon when it is ready, so shall your shining true self. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, your lives will seem to slow down whenever you enter a time of energetic integration. Integrating an influx of energy will always take top priority in your life, so the universe will create the exact conditions required for you to do so. You may find yourself suddenly in a very quiet space. You may create circumstances that keep you still and less busy, like a minor injury, a cold, or fatigue. You may find your calendar clears. If you are in a helping profession, you may find your client load lightened, as people do not take on new […]

Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition vulnerable to the insidious ploys of deception and confusion. The Human race has no greater failing than our propensity to be misled and confounded by those who would seek to control and dominate in our lives. We are baited by truth only to be sucked into endless spirals and tangled paths that weave into macabre tapestries of duplicity and betrayal.

It is neither natural nor normal to remain in a perpetual state of confusion, fear and limited awareness. Some of the brightest people I’ve met seem to live in an insulated world, void of philosophical depth and any real grasp on reality. ...

Species across land, rivers and seas decimated as humans kill for food in unsustainable numbers and destroy habitats.

The number of wild animals on Earth has halved in the past 40 years, according to a new analysis. Creatures across land, rivers and the seas are being decimated as humans kill them for food in unsustainable numbers, while polluting or destroying their habitats, the research by scientists at WWF and the Zoological Society of London found.

“If half the animals died in London zoo next week it would be f...

The cancer industry tells us lie after lie about the safety of toxic treatments and long-term survival rates related to chemotherapy poisons, radiation and surgery. Few doctors and scientists will put their reputations on the line to expose this fraudulent practice. Before you agree to allow your doctor to “cut, burn or poison” either you or your loved one, you need to watch this documentary.

DIVINE TRINITY   On this Tun day of 3, we will look at the aspect of the Divine Trinity within your Self. The elements of three can be seen as your Inner Self, your Outer Self and your connection to your Higher Self. When you are operating from a “conscious” level in all three arenas, you have the potential to fully create your reality.

The Inner Self is the “knowing” within each and every one of you. It comes from Source and is your inherent birthright. It is most known as “intuition” or a feeling of “knowing” something is true for you. Many times, through life experiences, this knowingness is ignored, mistrusted. However, at any point, by simply paying attention and trusting in this inner guidance, your ability to hear and listen can dramatically improve.

By following the leads which generally appear as coincidences and synchronicities, your life can truly become magical. Your Outer Self is centered around your five physical senses. It is your physical body and includes the way you portray yourselves to others. Many times, through life experiences, it is believed that the body, in this lifetime, incorporates your entire experience on earth. This is not true.
