Take a deep breath. You do not need to be in the thrall of upset. It is not so important that you are right or wrong. It is important that you keep your balance. The world is fraught with distress. You do not have to be.
 
Even when your rights are being infringed upon, you can remove yourself from aggravation. Even if you are handcuffed, and you are innocent, you can be handcuffed and let the aggravation go. You have to, beloveds. It may seem to you that you are at the mercy of the world, yet it is you who has to be merciful to yourself. You may be bound hand and foot, yet you do not have to tie yourself up in knots. Let your emotional life be under your jurisdiction.
 
The world can toss you around. That does not mean that you yourself have to be in league with upset.
 
Sure, you may be tossed around by the waves of life, yet you can maintain steadiness within yourself. You have to, or you are at the whim of life, blown about by the winds.
 
Of course, you want the world to be merciful to you. Meanwhile, count on yourself, beloveds. Meanwhile, count on your own mercy. Meanwhile is right now. Right now is your call.
 
You do have say over how you interact with life.

We are rapidly approaching 13 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, where the facts surrounding the deaths of thousands of Americans continue in suppressed fashion, garnering yearly rehashes of the original narrative.

As calendar pages turn, so fades public interest and perhaps attempts at outreach and education regarding the facts. As time goes on, 9/11 truth is teetering on the edge of enmeshment with other obscured events which carry the scarlet letter of “conspiracy theory,” and thus, with a public in the dark, the implausible official stories are passed on, but not legitimately investigated.

Ground Zero 911 coalition is determined to prevent the lapse of the facts into an eternal blurr...

HJ: The key to getting rid of emotions is acceptance, simply because what we resist persists.  Resistance blocks the natural flow of energy and causes stagnancy.  Emotions are truly like clouds.  Eventually they dissipate.  However, we treat them like rocks… carrying them around with us — heavy, bulky and weighing ourselves down.  They become a ball and chain and cause problems as we try and grow.  However, if we treat them like clouds… they simply pass through and then evaporate.  This means accepting them while they are around and knowing they will soon leave.  Like the weather, they are ever changing.

Now, if you want to be happy pretty much all the time, then you need to adopt a belief system that sees the world in a way that accepts what is and sees the best in humanity.  This is because our beliefs generate our emotions.  What we believe gives context to what we experience and determines how we interpret a situation.  If we deem it to be a ‘good’ situation, we are happy.  If we deem it to be an undesirable or ‘bad’ situation, we become frustrated, upset, pessimistic,...

Lots of people who swear by homeopathic medicines, but a small group thinks they should be banned. In the book “Think Like a Freak“, authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner tell us that the three hardest words in the English language are “I don’t know.” These three words are the reason for arguments against homeopathy.

A gentle reminder; my darling child, before you came there was a plan, but not one that you believe it to be. Yes, the learning experiences were requested and a general direction was chosen. However, there was a certain ambiguity thrown into the mix. This was not to confuse or confound you, instead the ‘just so’ placement increases your
ability to create, learn and grow. Instead of one or two paths, there are an infinite number of directions for any given circumstance you experience on a day to day basis. Your free will is truly given free reign. My goal, My purpose, is not to confine you into a certain place or time, but to allow you to explore as many avenues as you choose. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, unity consciousness means honouring each person as a vital and divine part of the whole. But you still get to have preferences on who you choose to spend your time with. It does not mean that you must continue to expose yourself to people who do not know how to treat you well. Your inner circle is a sacred place! It is where you are most open energetically. It is vital for you to have a safe place to BE, to nurture yourself, expand, grow, commune and support your balance and connectedness. You can love others and still […]

Consciousness has been defined as many things to many people, but there can never be one encompassing definition to what it really is. However, there are several factual components that assist in its definition and allow us to assess our own level of consciousness. What level are you at?

Before reading this list, it’s important to understand that every person is a...

TRANSFORMATION MEDITATION: BREAKING HABITS THROUGH INTENTION   Experience this powerful meditation by scrolling to Day 6 at: http://mayanmessages.wordpress.com/days-1-13 The following are the closing comments from the Day Keepers: “We are here to “in courage” and support you. We hold no judgments regarding your decision to experience any thing. Our mission is to serve you, for that we receive much joy. We encourage you to reach higher than you have ever reached before. Be creative! Know that your wish literally is our command! You can have anything your heart desires. The universe is endless and boundless. There are some universal laws that we all have to adhere to. These were set in place during the creation of your universe in order to allow the specific experiences unique to humans on earth. Know that before your incarnation, you were in agreement with these laws. All other choices are free for you to choose. We take leave of you and suggest that you take time each day to go within and work on creating a life of pure joy and love for yourself.”  Selamet! Cimi 6

What is meaningful to you? This is what you follow. This is what it means to follow your heart. You want to follow your deepest heart. Surface desires are one thing. Deep desires are another. And, then, you have to know, there are desires you follow that you are not yet conscious of. You have dreams that you don’t even know you have. Deep dreams as well as surface ones.
 
You may not have known you wanted Me, were seeking Me, and, suddenly, here I am, and you know instantly. You don’t understand how you didn’t know. Now you are astounded.
 
By whatever name I may go by in your town, you have been seeking Me which is the same as to say that you have been seeking yourself. You have wanted to become acquainted with yourself all this time, all the time you floundered. All the time you thought you were seeking something else, you were seeking Me. You have always been a seeker. You may have been a vague seeker, yet a seeker just the same.
 
And as much as you deliberately or haphazardly sought Me, now that you have found Me, you seek more and more of Me, and there is more and more of Me to be found. Your seeking stretches out into Infinity. If We, you and I, were two horses, We would be flying as One, neck and neck, flying over the concrete world, flying with the ease of angels, welcomed on every surface, the moon, the stars, in the innerness of the sun, and in the air and in the consciousness of the world.
