"All Life Matters"

Planet Earth ~ Handle With Care

Children are not taught that earth is teeming with vibrant and abundant life and that they will undoubtedly interact with and be a part of it.   

Whether it be reptilian, mammalian, insects, fish, frogs, fowl, trees or plants, it is obvious that earth is home to many different life forms. 

But no responsibility for nor respect for these different life forms is being cultivated in our homes or being taught in our schools.   

And we continue to slaughter animals for their flesh with no thought to their dignity on this planet nor the important role they play in feeding the masses.  

We show no compassion for the fear they experience nor the pain or discomfort they feel.    

They are just slaughtered, with nary a thought to how they feel or the panic they experience while waiting execution.

Understand, "I am not human."  

I came here, of my own accord, to offer guidance and assistance to humans.

I am here as guide, caretaker, observer, as to all that transpires here and am most adept at transcribing and interpreting messages. 

So, please, do hearken to my words:   

The real tragedy down here is that humans do know right from wrong but continue to ignore this, instead opting to repeat their mistakes over and over.  

They never seem to be able to grasp the magnitude of their decisions nor the immense gravity of the fateful situation they continue to find themselves in, as it currently presents itself, nor able to feel any remorse for the cruel and unjust actions they impose on others.          

I have no sympathy for humans as I lost that emotion long ago.

They have been given many opportunities to embrace a different Life Path and the Truth of their Existence but, instead, always seem to choose the path of least resistance in allowing others of ill repute continue to make their decisions. 

* It is time we all start recognizing our own, unique distinct roles in this life.  It is time we start teaching our children about this wondrous planet we inhabit, the roles we chose in order to come here and the many ways we are able to make life better for everyone on this planet. 

It is time we take matters into our own hands and not continue to let others dictate to us, thus giving them the ability to proceed with our slow descent into Hell.     

It is time to free ourselves of these demonic double agents who, on the one hand, preach they only want what's best for us but in reality only want more power and control over us. 

When are we going to wake up to the trap that was set for us eons ago?  

Until we realize that we are part of a much larger picture in which we are the real Masters of our  own fate and are our own catalysts for meaningful change, nothing will change. 

If you really want to make a positive and lasting difference while here on this planet, heed what I have to say:  Step Up and Lead.  

You have been asleep but are asleep no more.

Now is the Time.

You are being called. 

We need more leaders.

Rest assured, Once You Lead, "The rest will follow".

A Diamond in the Rough

"You are the Spark"

How does consciousness change on a planet?  One example is exactly what we're all going through right now - a painful and horrific event. 

It thrusts us out of our stupor and into a new matrix that we're completely unfamiliar with. 

It forces us to come face to face with ourselves, who we are and where we fit in the cosmos. 

With this virus we find ourselves facing and enduring a whole new set of circumstances that we're completely unfamiliar with. 

The Coronavirus has upended Planet Earth.  It has caused millions of people to lose their jobs, thousands of people have lost their lives, businesses have been greatly impacted, religious activities and festivals have been cancelled.

Our lives have been turned upside down.  

Countries are bearing the brunt and being stretched like never before.  

During this time has anyone felt a closer relationship to G-d, has your faith strengthened, have you  considered a neighbor that you never thought about before, have you suddenly shown kindness toward a stranger or given money to charity?

Have you considered exactly why you are here on this planet? 

Is it to constantly live in uncertainty and fear always wondering when the next shoe will drop or have we finally arrived at the point where we all are willing to throw off the shackles of hate, division and power, seeking instead what connects us not divides us?  

Well, with what we are now seeing, we've been given an opportunity to really change things around down here. 

The power on this planet does not belong to the rich, famous and powerful but to the meek.

That means you and me.

Take charge and stop letting others dictate, control and ruin your life.

It's your life and doesn't belong to someone else.    

Start standing up for what's noble and good as it will benefit all of us.  

The opportunity has presented itself for meaningful change on this planet and it begins with you and me.

"How to keep your sanity in an insane world"

Negativity

We live on the news, we wait for the news, we can't seem to turn the news off.  At some point we need to ask ourselves, "is too much news bad news for us?" 

We can turn the news off, temporarily solving the problem.  But, after a few hours we find we need more news and turn it on again.

Ever wonder what happens to your brain when you're bombarded constantly with negative ions?

Doesn't it make sense that those on the brink of doing something harmful act out their intent because of what they're hearing and watching and those who are suffering depression dive even more deeply into the abyss?   

Here are some steps to protect yourself against this onslaught of negativity that is constantly with us:   

1.  Ground yourself:  Seek out your own personal sanctuary whether it's inside yourself (your safe space) working in your garden, going for a walk or enjoying yourself in a spa.   

2.  Mentally take control of your situation:  Let the good things in and keep the bad things out.

3.  Meditation:  This can be in the form of peaceful music or a guided meditation in which a teacher teaches you the steps toward inner peace.   

4.  Yoga:  Stretch and limber up and this will also help uplift your attitude. 

5.  Spa, sauna, gym:  Relaxation; Exercise

6.  Prayer:  Make this a go to habit in the morning and throughout the day.  Prayer is a form of meditation and the more you exercise this tool the more powerful the results. 

7.  Meet with positive people:  People with a positive outlook on life (even in the midst of confusion and turmoil) are more apt to wind up better off both mentally and physically. 

8. Learn to Trust you instincts as this is your inner voice guiding you.

The Apocalypse is here.

I believe we're in the beginning of something in which difficult situations are going to increase for all of us.  Circumstances and events that we couldn't even dream imaginable just a few short years ago will start to unfold.   

Now is the time to prepare yourself both spiritually, physically and mentally for what is coming.

Life is a Balancing Act

There is an unseen spiritual side to giving (charity) and saving money, realizing it that money is a tool meant for bigger and better things, not to be hoarded or worshipped like some sort of god.

Money in the form of coins, tokens or personal items and foodstuff used in barter and trade has been around for centuries as a way to give and receive goods.

Years ago people were cognizant of how much they needed to live on and budgeted accordingly because they simply just didn't have enough.

They were more aware of their finances than we are today and had a healthy respect for what they did receive, grateful for a steady job or being able to work for the farmer or merchant on a part time basis who provided the opportunity to make ends meet.

There was a solid human to human interaction going on back then in which two people participated in this monetary exchange and only two hands, one with the cash for all your hard work and the other hand waiting to receive it.  

Today things have gotten very impersonal.  Money is still money but we now do our purchasing through electronic means using a credit card in which there is no human interaction other than handing your card to the person standing at the checkout register.      

Cash is being phased out as the banks have figured out that they can't really make money off of cash (charging interest) and that purchasing something on a bank credit card is very profitable.   

You pay interest on your purchase (this is how the bank makes its money) and woe to you if you miss a payment.

If we haven't morphed from a cash society to a cash less society by now, I daresay we're getting pretty close. 

In either case, whether you use cash to make your purchases or a credit card, there is something that will help you stay within your budget.

How many of us actually sit down and map out a budget?  This is something very important when you're trying to make ends meet.  Along with your budget you need to determine how much you want to put away (save) for the future for any unforeseen emergency such as a car repair, an appliance going out or a sudden trip to the dentist.

Whether it's a salary or a paycheck you determine how much is coming in monthly and then then start deducting how much you'll be paying in taxes, insurance, groceries and how much to set aside for rainy day emergencies.

Believe me, if you start doing this no matter your age, it will make a big difference in your life as to 1.  how you begin to feel about yourself (I'm finally "in charge") and 2. will have a positive affect on all you care about. 

Developing a healthy respect for this will become a habit and prayerfully asking for guidance is going to make a world of difference as you will begin to learn balance in your life. 

Not only will you feel energized and spiritually refreshed but something else extraordinary will begin to  happen.

Others will take note of your new found confidence and things will magically start to fall into place.

I don't know how this work, only that it does.

So, do something for yourself, your spouse and your family↓

Take charge of where you're going in life - it's called a budget.
