The gravity of the situation… we hear a lot about that. In our souls gravity is not a low-vibe thing: it’s a feeling room. Even if I had the opportunity to hang with the high-vibe folks and talk about how simple the profound is and how profound the simple, I wouldn’t make a life out of it. Day-to-day life is friction. It’s where the rubber meets the road. It’s where our growth comes from.

There is no escaping our feet on the earth life, with sons and daughters and loved ones and strangers who go through things. And it’s not just them… we go through it with them, with our own stuff mixed in. Human beings go through it. Sometimes it’ll send you to your bed to curl up and pull up the covers, and shed a few ‘this stuff’s heavy’ tears.

You probably know the...

You could be asking yourself:
 
“Why am I not happy? I have a lot to be happy for, yet I am not happy. What prevents me from being happy? It has to be that I believe in lack. I must have set it up this way so long ago. Since I do not have everything I want, I am not happy. I have decided I am not happy. So long as I lack, I must think I cannot be happy. When I have gain, it may not stay, so even with gain, I have worry. It is like I have chosen a certain umbrella. It has holes in it. I do not know how to keep the rain of unhappiness off me.”
 
Beloveds, you might as well get rid of that umbrella altogether. There is nothing but life. To your mind, life is meant to fulfill your desires. Perhaps you look for proof that I love you, and you keep setting higher and higher standards and now requiring more. Perhaps you feel that unless you have everything, you have nothing. And there is always more you desire. In this case, desire gratitude.
 
I’m for your desiring, and I suggest that you dream Big. There is a difference between desire and expectation. If you feel thrown out of Heaven because all your desires are not fulfilled, you work against yourself.
 
You want to come to the place where desire of itself is a boon to you. To have a desire is fulfilling of itself. Your desires do not have to be fulfilled on the outside. Let the joy be in the desire.
 

HJ: For most of us the problem is not finding motivation, but getting past our own fear and self-doubt.  If only we could get rid of them, we would be able to achieve anything we set our mind to with ease.  And it’s true (to a certain extent).  Without these two emotions we would move forward rather effortlessly.

But there is a reason why we experience fear.  It is meant to keep us safe and alive.  It is a built in survival mechanism and without it, well, we probably wouldn’t last very long…

However, the problem lies not with fear itself, but irrational fear.  This is learned fear of things that do not actually threaten our survival or wellbeing.  This kind of fear is counterproductive and keeps us stuck where we are at despite our best intentions to move forwards and grow.  This is the kind of fear and self-doubt you need to get rid of and exactly what the article below deals with.

Manage Your Brain to Play a Bigger Game

Be the master not the victim of your brain.

By Marcia Reynolds, Psy.D. |

A gentle reminder; a person’s connection to the Divine is as varied as there are humans on your Earth. Spirituality need not be somber, quiet or meditative and it is certainly not about denying the human experience! A truly spiritual being is very rarely any of these things. Instead, they have learned to embrace the flaws of being human, find joy and comfort in them and realize they are in a learning phase. Take time today to look a bit more closely at your fellow journeyers. They will often teach you things you least expect. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, you understand that the way to create the New Earth is through love, but for many of you that has become a concept that sounds good but is difficult to understand. Your minds wonder, how can love really make that much of a difference? Love is essential to the Shift because love is the energy of Source. It is moving back to your divine essence, your true roots, your authentic power centre. To love is to proceed and make decisions from your highest self. It connects, it includes, it inspires, it encourages, it accepts, it unifies, it harmonizes, […]

Even without looking at a photo album, I can picture in my mind’s eye a vacation photo from the gorgeous BLM-managed (Bureau of Land Management) land near Moab, Utah. That image of my family and friends on a bicycle trip in the red rock lands, perfectly faded by time, carefully preserved for posterity. Nowhere in that photo does a fracking rig, or any telltale signs of industrial activity appear. But skip ahead fifteen or twenty years into the future, and this photo could be telling an entirely different story.

That’s beca...
