Magic is not an ethereal concept you learned about in fairy tales; miracles do not always happen to ‘someone else’.  It is time to start realizing that YOU are the source of these wonderful moments!  Create with joy and revel in the anticipation of their arrival! ~ Creator

The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is completing a unique experiment called the Holometer which has recently started collecting data to answer some mind-bending questions about our universe–including whether we live in a hologram.

Much like characters on a television show would not know that their seemingly 3-D world exists only on a 2-D screen, we could be clueless that our 3-D space is just an illusion. The information about everything in our universe could actually be encoded in tiny ...

One thing you can be absolutely sure of is that I do not have an ego to consult. It is laughable that I would have an ego. To have an ego, there would have to be something I feel I have to justify. I would have to think I have something to defend. The very idea has Me rolling in the aisles.
 
Human beings have egos, for they listen to a false prophet. Ego at your side perks up its ears when he feels threatened and, therefore, feels he must stand up for himself parading as you. Ego is ever-ready on the alert, just in case. Ego has nothing to do but look out for offense. From smallness of vision, ego finds offense lurking around every corner. Ego’s attention is on smallness. Ego lacks a grand vision.
 
Hmm, is ego the opposite of God? Is ego the Mighty Mouse oppressor taking the role of defender? Is this ego? Ego, the fault-finder. Ego, the hair-splitter. Ego, the raging ox. Ego, the pincher of hearts. Ego, the thin-skinned. Ego, on the look-out. Ego, the censor. Ego, the critic. Ego who cannot be pleased because never enough deference is given to him. Ego, the inflamed. Ego, the heartache and belly-acher. Ego, the robot, who stands with sword in hand, ready to swipe at anyone who doesn’t give due deference. Ego, the warrior. Ego, the thick-headed. Ego, who constantly jockeys for position. Ego, the nit-picker.

Can technology help humanity realise its full potential? Transhumanists see the merging of man and machine as a natural “next step” in human evolution, but where does consciousness fall in the equation? Instead of bringing freedom, merging ourselves with technology could chain consciousness to the physical body and material world, overriding our natural capacity for spiritual evolution.

The search for expanded states of consciousness is part of the human experience. With technology developing at a breakneck pace, people are increasingly interested in how to...

What do you do when ‘always believe in yourself’ begins to crumble? Ask: What is it that you’re doubting. That seems to me, to be the question. There is a difference between believing in your beliefs, and believing in your Self, so let’s look at it.

After six decades, it seems that I still have an evolving belief system. The spiritual ideal holding that changing picture together would be a childhood wish for a clean heart and right spirit. I suspect that’s the case for a lot of us… remembering ourselves as children, we did have a desire to do right and feel clean inside… clean and free.

Little did we know what we were going to journey through, and how it would test us. We only knew that some things felt uncomfortable, and other things felt comfor...

There will be people who show up in your life and do or say whatever it takes to get what they want from you.  This is where your free will comes into play.  You can go along with their plan, learning some very important lessons or you can listen to your intuition and release the situation with love.  If you choose the latter, they may not like the outcome very much, but staying true to yourself regardless of the barrage, is the most important thing. ~ Creator 

HJ: There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.  Challenge, then, is an opportunity to grow, evolve and learn.  And the greater the struggle and challenges you face in life, the higher you are destined to go when you successfully overcome them.  Some of the world’s most successful people have has incredibly difficult lives.  Oprah is a perfect example, growing up in abject poverty and having been sexually assaulted by the age of 14 (from which she got pregnant).  And yet, despite these ‘challenges’ — despite these ‘setbacks’ she went on to become one of the most successful, well known and wealthy women in the history of the planet.

Your life’s lowest point is also the beginning of the journey towards your highest.  It can only get better from there.  And if you look for the lesson in everything, you will be constantly equipping yourself with the wisdom, experience and knowledge that will propel you to unimaginable heights of achievement and success.

Need I say it, we are living in – and through – an apocalyptic time. Disintegration and destruction manifest at an accelerating pace as our World is buffeted by a jumbled combination of opposing energies: the distorted man made toxic ones as well as the universal vibratory waves that are an integral part of great cosmic changes.

Nothing we have experienced up until now quite compares with this. There is little that could prepare us for our journey through this collision of forces, aside from an emerging awareness that they are both external and internal manifestations. Manifestations of human and universal energies seeking to redefine and rebalance their shared essence.

Consider for a moment the contribution that our own specifically ‘man made’ toxic...

Most people complain because they are looking to be rescued in some way. Wanting to be rescued indicates you are seeing yourself as a victim. Therefore, complaining perpetuates victim consciousness and the outmoded roles of victim/rescuer. Dear Ones, you always have the option to take the reins and create an experience that is much more in line with what you want, but you simply cannot do that while you are busy giving your power away. If you understand you are on the planet to evolve beyond victim consciousness and step into your authentic power, you might consider it time to […]
