Often times souls feel frustration and struggle because they feel that the world does not understand them. Yet they are also so fearful of expressing themselves, that they don't allow others to get to know them. What a paradox this creates.

Learn to understand yourself completely, so that you can freely express yourself appropriately and allow for others to understand you. If someone else tells you to change your views because they don't like it, that is their problem, not yours. When you express yourself from a place of Love and in accordance with your inner Truth, you are giving the highest honor to yourself and therefore to God.

There is no need for judgment of the actions of another; because from a singular perspective, you won't always understand the life path that the other soul has chosen and why they decided to go through a certain experience.

Sometimes you will not always understand why you are going through a difficult time yourself. But often, years later when you look back at that situation, you are able to see that you either gained some valuable experience, increased your self-knowledge, spiritual growth or even capacity for Love.

Going through the death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences on the Earth plane. And yet, it can also prove to be the most enlightening. There have been many souls who have dramatically changed their lives after they have experienced the death of a loved one.

No soul dies in vain, and you can rest assured that there is no place called "Hell." All souls, regardless of what they have experienced in life, are Loved by the Ultimate Being (God, the Universe, or whatever higher power you believe in) and all are given the opportunity to go into the world of Spirit once they leave their earthy bodies. It is only the Judgments and fear from humanity that scare souls into believing that they do not belong in the world of Spirit.

No soul is, was, or will ever be lacking in any way. They only person that can make you feel that way is you, if you choose to believe what others tell you.

So, why not choose to believe that you are a beautiful soul that is filled with Love and compassion? Why not believe that the Ultimate Being and those in the world of Spirit love you dearly and are working diligently to help release you of your pain and struggle?

Once you decide that life doesn't have to be so hard, you will begin to see opportunities around you that your Ego had blinded you from. You will begin to see that things are only a struggle if you let them be and that you always have power over any fear.

You have the power to change your perspective. You cannot be a victim when you are the Master of your own Life!

The final Annette video tonight, with many thanks. I guess there’s always some moorelifer coming to the rescue if supplies are low….

This too came from Annette’s mail. She mailed me part 1 of 7, but of course I couldn’t let the other ones stay in oblivion:

I won't be able to watch these myself, because I'm on slow backup Internet access at the moment, but Annette assured me they're interesting to watch. Thanks, mylady!

Humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how wonderful you are.

Greetings and glad tidings ~

May this message find you well and thriving!
It’s been awhile since our last wave wrapped up, and worlds
within worlds have changed and rearranged to deliver us
here Now.  What a blessing it is to be connected and sharing
this amazing journey together!
We have completed our long-awaited move to the Southwest,
now calling the Valley of the Sun, in Arizona, our home.   We
have much to share on both a personal level AND on our upcoming
World Gratitude Wave.  Keep an eye out for an invitation in
the coming days, including some massive shifts in our program,
onward path and new possibilities to play together in co-creative
ways!
Many of you have been busy, too … sharing insight into your
passionate pursuits, keeping us abreast of manifested dreams
and emerging visions that spring from an awakened heart — One
that lives, breathes and embraces the power of Gratitude.
One example is Eliana Gilad, founder of Voices of Eden,
peace-maker,  conscious-voice advocate and Sister of the Heart
who recently reconnected to announce (and celebrate!) the
completion of  a project she’s been soulfully co-creating, called
Finding InnerPeace in Troubled Times.
When Eliana first began the project, she invited us to be a part of
her vision and it was an inspired YES! that began our journey
together. Today, we’re delighted to share her master-peace
with you, as well as a special offer especially for World Gratitude.
To find out more on Eliana’s profoundly empowering Peace project,
including a clip from our interview where we discuss Children and
the power of Gratitude, go here:

There is sooooo much more to share, and even more to be grateful for!
Until next line … ever inward and onward, Beloveds!

This is our year to shine!

in Love and Gratitude,

Attitudes of Gratitude: How to Give and Receive Joy Everyday of Your Life

This seeming contradiction is part of what is going to be becoming stronger and more apparent as time goes by. How will this manifest in ways easily perceivable?

Physical manifestation of energetic chaos

1. Increased weather “events”. We have talked before about climate changes and extreme weather, have we not? You may expect, subject to region, further such extreme events over many areas, some widespread.  Drought is beginning this month across parts of India, Africa, and the southwestern part of the US. At the same time, extra precipitation is expected across much of western and southern Europe, the South Pacific, the central and Eastern US, the Caribbean, and much of South America. This precipitation could arise in the form of hurricane-like weather. Or other extreme events. 2. Earthquakes and volcanic activity. As above, so below. Look for increased visibility and awareness of Pacific Rim (especially the South Pacific, also possibly Alaska) activity this month as well as isolated earthquakes in areas not generally known for them (central US, eastern Europe). It is likely that a fairly devastating quake takes place in a populated area within the next 60-90 days. 3. Discoveries of genetic aberrations or new species are likely to be found in the animal kingdom. Animals and plants are, of course, subject to this chaotic energy as are people and the earth as a whole. While it is true that the animals, plant, and mineral kingdoms respond to such change with greater apparent aplomb, change affects all. What will be likely, then, are overt and tangible effects to the energetic shifts, resulting the “new” species, flocks of “deformed” species found regionally, or other similar discoveries.

Intrapersonal manifestation of energetic chaos

1. People “snapping.” This can be on a low level (increased arguments between spouses and children) or on a wider level (employees ‘going postal’, random attacks, mob situations, etc). It can be helpful to remember that this is occurring worldwide, not just in your neighborhood, and that the statistical likelihood of being a part of such an occurrence is relatively low. If this is a fear for you, please try the following: Standing near a table or waist high horizontal surface, stand with feet hip width apart while your hands rest on this surface. Take a moment to breathe and remember your particular fears surrounding this potential occurrence. Imagine while you do so that the charkas in your hands and feet are opening fully to embrace the energy of your planet: your home, the Earth. Feel the enormous loving energy pouring in to you now through your hands and feet. Your hands may feel warm and tingling. Feel the pulsating aliveness of your planet, the place you call home and that you, along with billions of others, are creating. Feel the love inherent in this energy of your creation. Feel the safety inherent in this energy of your creation. Draw this energy, along with the live connected to it, up through your hands, feet, arms, and legs. Allow the energy to meet and mix in your root chakra. Feel your center of consciousness drop a few inches as you do so. Feel any tightness on your heart area now dissipate. Feel the immense sense of perpetual, eternal safety wrap your being in a soft, warm blanket. Feel how this sense of safety was created by you, along with billions of others, in the creation of your world as you know it to be. Remember that you carry with you a bubble that includes this sense of safety and protection. Feel it now and rest in your ability to re-create this sense any time you wish. 2. Relationship hurdles. This is a huge month of growth for people involved in all sorts of relationships.  Long-held patterns may be released this month. Expect things to re-surface so they can be released. Welcome these issues rather than attempting to submerge them again. Those who are less self-aware will have greater difficulties relationship-wise this month, but if it is your practice to be aware of these patterns, then you should have little difficulty allowing them to simply drift away into the winds of change that surround you. Understanding, too, that any seeming surface disruption is for many a sign of healing underneath that is long-lasting and permanent in nature. This relates to all sorts pf relationships, from intimate connections to family dynamics to work relationships, as well as the relationship to Self that each of you possesses. Again, look for outward conflict as a sign of inner healing and change. 3. Spiritual depth. For those of you seeking greater self awareness, this is a month in which you can easily accelerate your growth. We would caution against becoming stuck in linear terms to describe such growth (‘evolving’, ‘moving forward’, ‘ascension’, etc), but at the same time there are exponential possibilities this month that will allow you great enhancement of whatever path you are presently choosing and such terms can be useful in this manner.

Practices to assist in flowing with, not against, the energy of Chaos

You can, of course, enhance your sensation of flow in relation to the energy that is around you at this time. This is not, of course, to allow you to “control” your experience or outcome, but is more designed to help you feel movement in a pleasurable way. 1. Practice an energy movement exercise. This could be tai chi, qigung, or some forms of yoga or meditation – anything where energy is consciously and deliberately moved through the body. This is very much a month in which to let go of conscious thought and allow your other wisdom (of the body, of the soul) to surface. Even if you have mental resistance against such exercises – and we would suggest daily use to enhance the effects – this is a case where “just doing it” is the most helpful approach. A side benefit, of course, is that after 30 days of such practice is becomes a habit, which in our perception would only continue to be beneficial. 2. Drink water. More than ever, this is an important practice. Pure, filtered water, preferably from a source local to you, is best. A liter per 50 pounds of body weight. 3. Breathe. Again, this is such a basic practice that is welcome at any time. Try simply breathing as fully as possible when you first awaken. Not only are you more relaxed at this time, making it easier to actually “get” a full, deep breath, but it will help create the tone for the day and energize and fully awaken your body. Spending 3-4 minutes in contemplative, deep breathing upon awakening will greatly enhance your abilities to flow with this month’s energy. In addition to these practices, we suggest going within to seek answers to long-held questions. We are, of course, available to those who seek our advice and will continue to make our presence known to an ever-increasing number, but we also support your abilities to seek the inner guidance that is always inside you.

25-Jul-2006 In the documentary "Apollo 11: The Untold Story," shown on Britain's Channel Five on Monday night, July 24, astronaut Buzz Aldrin says he, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins all saw a UFO shadowing their spacecraft. Apollo 11, which took off on July 16, 1969, was the first manned mission to the moon. Aldrin says, "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?" In the documentary, he says, "Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey, Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know what it is,' you know? We weren't about to do that, because we knew that that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is." He says NASA knew about the UFO but covered up the information. It has just been learned that all but two of the 700 boxes of Apollo 11 videos are mysteriously missing from the National Archives. The footage of the Apollo 11 mission was recorded on special 1-inch magnetic tape, and the only machines that can play it are at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, which is being closed in the fall of 2006. Astronaut Gordon Cooper, who took part in the earlier Mercury and Gemini missions, had his first UFO sighting as an Air Force pilot. He later said that a UFO landed at Edwards Air Force Base. In 1985, Cooper testified at the UN, saying, "I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth. For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us." Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was the 6th man to walk on the moon, has also said he believes in the existence of UFOs. Whitley Strieber comments, "I was on a television program in the UK with Buzz Aldrin where he treated me with ill- concealed contempt and stated categorically that he had never seen a UFO. While I am glad that he has finally admitted a truth that I was told by other astronauts many years ago, I will never forget his treatment of me. In contrast, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper were forthcoming with me. If there are craft guided by nonhumans in our skies, then we would be fools to assume that they are not also on the ground and in our lives. It's time for organizations like NASA to stop lying and get on with the process of contact." Please click here to share my articles with your friends who you know will appreciate them.
