EMOTIONS   When you are sad, there will come a time when you will say, “Enough of this sadness, I am going to change my attitude and behaviors so I can experience happiness.” Thus, the sadness leads you to your desired goal of happiness. At times, it feels good to express sorrow or pain, for within these emotions, you are connecting to others on a very deep level, which has love as a foundation. We suggest you pay attention to your emotions as they arise. Do they have a message for you to pay attention to? Are they a means to express your love for self or others? Take time today to meditate on ways you can maintain your balance by role-playing various scenarios that are likely to occur. For instance, if there is someone at work that you dislike and everyday their presence makes you upset, look at ways you can change your attitude and behavior so you do not lose your balance. Role-play things to say and do when you encounter this person. Send heart-to-heart love connections, even if at first they feel phony. With practice, there will come a moment when you will accept this person unconditionally. It is not unusual for these relationships to develop into deep friendships, for you will have connected at a soul level, one beyond the bounds of judgment and criticism. Pay attention to your emotions, for they are your greatest teachers! Selamet!

Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles recently took a look into how media is affecting young people’s social skills. UCLA scientists studied two groups of sixth-graders from the same school: one group didn’t have any screen time for the duration of five days; while the other group spent their usual time looking at smartphones, TVs and other screens.

What was revealed? The study reported that the group of sixth-graders without any screen time did a better job reading human emotions.

Many parents are typically concerned that too much time in front of the TV or playing

Many arrows point to the bee decline. A Harvard professorrecently warned that Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is only the beginning for us. The ripple effect from new classes of pesticides is just getting started.

But there’s more…

The problems they face can be compared to a kaleidoscope, where the shapes are layered, interconnected, many and morphing.

It’s not only pesticides that lead to pollinator death – it’s more. It’s other things, the combination of things, thought to be harmless to bees and to humans.

Beloveds, I take care of everything. I love your very humanness. I deed everything to you. I bequeath you the very Human Beingness of you. I tell you how to live as a human being in a world you sublet for a time. I give everything to you, and you begin to grasp the outpouring of My heart. I will give you everything. I do give to you, the very human you, everything. I give you very human pointers on how to live. I lay My ideas before you. I am the gift I give you. And that’s it.
 
What more can I give you? I am love. I am givingness. And these are qualities you, your individual self, want to use single-mindedly, yet these are not qualities that can be kept in the mind, for they are not attributes. They are not add-on’s. Givingness is inherent. It is inborn within you.
 
Yes, thinking is a transition for you. You can think of Oneness, yet thoughts are not Oneness.
 
Sometimes you really begin to think you have grasped Oneness. Oneness may be grasped now and then, like a light bulb working one day and flickering the next, yet Oneness is not something that the mind can really grasp and stay with. Oneness is ungraspable. Oneness, which is Silence Itself and not at all the motion and commotion of the world, cannot be held. It can only be.
 

On mirrors; you have many lessons to learn.  There will be people that show up in your life to ‘push your buttons’ and make you feel uncomfortable enough to heal those parts of you.  However, do not disregard those that show up to mirror the best parts of you back to you.  Those are the people put in place as reminders that, yes, you are part of The Divine. ~ Creator

HJ: The beautiful thing about medicinal plants (vs drugs) is that they work to heal on every level — mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.  This brings about complete, holistic healing rather than merely elimination of symptoms.  And generally speaking, herbs are safe and harmless.

There are literally tens of thousands of medicinal plants, each with their own unique indications and properties.  Below you will find a guide to 17 of the most powerful and useful of the bunch, although they are not all commonly known as say echinacea or chamomile.

Many people are finally becoming acquainted with how plants such as cannabis are effective medicinally. Others are very familiar with the healing abilities of garlic, spinach, ginger and of course echinacea.

We realize many of you are seeking healing for emotional wounds. Dear Ones, the first step of emotional healing is to create a safe place for the healing to occur! Just as you can’t expect a physical wound to heal if you keep ripping off the scab, you cannot expect emotional healing to occur if you continue to stay in an environment that continually reopens those wounds. We urge you to create a safe environment for your healing. That means making sure the people who are in your life are safe people for you, who love and support you in […]

Mainstream media’s lies, deceit, and propaganda are being dramatically exposed in real-time at an alarming rate. Anyone following alternative media knows what I’m talking about. Is it me or does it seem like the MH17 false flag happened years ago? We can see that false flags which are quickly exposed and blown wide open end up dropping to the bottom of mainstream media news.

We’re seeing the pattern over and over again, so isn’t it time we sharpen our skills and start predicting the mainstream media lies and propaganda ...

Police have new tech to help them predict and enforce the law better than ever—but that also means enforcing the racial bias of drug arrests faster than ever, too.
