The Savior Is NOT Coming!

At risk of being controversial, I'm sharing why I believe the savior is not coming!

It is time to step out in your own power, play your part, and BEcome the change you wish to see in the world!

Always Choose Love

The world is full of chaos and confusion--here in the USA and elsewhere. I see arguments all over social media and many are saying they have unfriended this person or that person because of their views. The mainstream media is even worse when it comes to trying to maintain division between people. Division is the problem. We are working so hard to align ourselves with what is right that we have forgotten one very important principle: love.

The irony of the fight going on right now is that it is not even our fight, yet we are the ones battling! Whose fight is it, you ask? It is a fight between rulers and all those who would control the planet--kings, prime ministers, presidents, corporations, bankers, etc. There has been a very marked shift in power that is most notable with the election of Donald Trump, who represents a very different power faction taking over. Those who have held the reins are struggling to retain their grasp, and they still have a great deal of power. You can see this in the constant bashing Trump is receiving worldwide for enforcing laws and rules that are already on the books! If the people losing power can convince us to fight for their side, they know they have a chance to regain that power. The propaganda media is what keeps We the People playing this power game.

The saddest part about this whole situation is that We the People have willingly given our massive power to these crazy people in charge and are feeding into the chaos. The reality (should we choose to accept it) is that We the People have it within ourselves to change the turmoil by reclaiming our personal power! 

How do we reclaim our power? We reclaim our power by choosing love! Lately, we have not been motivated by love but by fear. We are told it is love. For example, love is fighting for our immigrant neighbors, right? Possibly. The question we all need to ask ourselves is what is it that drives us? While love might honestly be a factor, fear also plays a factor. The darkness in this scenario tells us that Trump is the new Hitler and eventually we will all end up in prison camps if we don't fight for immigrants now. Is it love that motivates us, or is it the belief that life will become much worse for everyone if we do not take up the fight? 

Many of us are in denial that our actions are based on fear. We allow our terror to turn us into hurtful, hateful monsters that no longer focus on love. This is where actions such as arguing and unfriending on social media kick in. It has even been reaching extreme levels with some people who are leaving love far behind and physically attacking others who are perceived as separate, all the while believing they are standing for justice. When we allow this to happen we have become that which we fear!

What does choosing love look like? It begins when we tap into the innermost corners of our hearts. It will often go directly to those people and things we interact with on a daily basis. It will guide us into actions that help and heal--even when some of those actions appear to be counterintuitive to what we believe we want to accomplish. Love looks to what we have in common instead of our differences. Love seeks to build bridges. When we allow our hearts to guide our actions, nothing outside ourselves can separate us from that heart connection we share with each other.

Are your actions playing into the chaos and division that is so pervasive in the world today? Do you feel separate from your neighbor as you choose sides? Is fear your ultimate motivation? Chances are you have given over your own power to mentally ill people and are playing their insane power game. 

Take back your power! Forget that your neighbor is a Democrat or Republican or Muslim or Christian or straight or gay or an addict or a criminal. Look at the chaos and misery within your own circle and choose to make a difference in all those places your heart shows you. Always choose love. If and when we focus on that, our world will begin to fall into place.

Life Jacket

I possess a life jacket.

I saw a man in the water beside me,
Drowning.
The waves were rough.
He could not keep his head
Above the surf.
I threw him my life jacket
Because I could swim.
He tried his best to put it on,
But he was swallowed by the sea.

I grew tired
Of fighting the waves.
I found my life jacket
And put it on.
I became the jacket
And allowed it to save me.

It was only then I noticed:
Another life jacket floated above the place
The drowning man went down.

Standing Up In The Face Of Evil

We live in the Dark Ages. Although there are many ways we seem to be making great progress, there is still a lot of evil around us. In fact, our shadow selves have been allowed to run amok to the point where our world is seriously out of balance--almost to the precipice of total destruction. The thing is, denying evil does not make it go away. We have to acknowledge that it is in our midst and deal with it so it no longer has the power to destroy us.

I believe humanity is on the verge of waking up to this because of how blatant the corruption has become. Constant wars, terrible environmental destruction, poverty, disease and a host of other worldwide problems are starting to be identified for what they are--problems placed on us by those who would consider themselves "elite" (aka those with all the power and wealth). Deep down, we understand we cannot survive this destructive path.

For the first time in a long time, I see people waking up to the evil and taking back their innate power. If the US presidential elections are anything to go by, people are waking up in droves. In the Republican party, the chosen candidate (Trump) was fought against by party establishment tooth and nail until it was apparent he was too popular to deny the nomination to. This is why, for all intents and purposes, the Bush family and their underlings have refused to support this nomination and would not even attend the convention. It's also why they have at least all hinted at their support for Hillary Clinton. I recently saw a quote from George W. Bush saying he was afraid he would be the last Republican president! The party is definitely changing, and I believe it is because people finally understand our country cannot survive if we continue down our present path.

In the Democratic party, people are also beginning to wake up and stand up. While I understand the annointed candidate, Hillary Clinton, does have some legitimate support, she does not have the support the media would lead people to believe. Besides co-opting pretty much all of the super delegates from the beginning, there have been numerous reports of voter fraud and other problems all over the country. When Bernie can fill stadiums and Hillary has trouble filling a high school gymnasium, you cannot tell me Hillary has a legitimate claim to the throne. The media may fluff it over, but anyone with eyes that wants to see truth can see it.

The thing is, until we are willing to stand up in our power and claim the victory, evil will continue to rule. The Republican Party has been reclaimed. No it is not perfect by any means. Yes, things still need to change. Democrats need to do the same thing at the convention and stand up to party leaders and force them to accept Bernie as the nominee. Otherwise, the current powers that be have won and nothing will change.

Until we are willing to recognize our shadow selves and acknowledge them, the darkness will continue to be much more powerful. Until we are willing to stand in the face of evil and intentionally reclaim our own power, we cannot expect the outside world to change. It is up to each and every one of us to make that difference.

Overcoming Corruption Depends On Love!

The USA is once again being predictably programmed. We were all up in arms against our very corrupt government showing out regarding Hillary's obvious criminality and her lack of prosecution by those in power. Then all of a sudden we have a police shooting in Baton Rouge and an ambush of police in Dallas. No more prosecute Hillary stories. No more anger with our government. It's all about racial tension, violence and fighting among ourselves. Folks, this is the pattern! This is how they keep us from taking back our own power and taking control!

Stop taking sides against your fellow humans! These people are your family, your friends, your neighbors. They want the same things you want--comfortable homes, food on the table, good relationships, the ability to live their lives in freedom. These people are not the enemy! The enemy is ignorance, and hype, and division.

As long as we are fighting each other, we are not concerned with how our country is being run behind the scenes. We could care less that pretty much every politician in DC is corrupt! We ignore the fact they grow wealthy catering to the desires of those who operate behind closed doors. They flaunt their corruption in our faces because they know we are too apathetic to pay attention to their crimes as we hunt down our fellow man.

If we are to overcome those who consider themselves "elite" and hold them accountable for their crimes, we must first embrace our neighbors in love. We cannot hope to have the power to lock these criminals away until we have the ability to stand together in common purpose. Divide and Conquer is the method they have used to take control and keep our power for thousands of years. Love is the force that will unify us to the point we can take our personal power back!

Choose to reach out to your neighbors in love! Talk to them. Get to know them. Share a common meal. Make sure their needs are met. As we break down all barriers that separate us, we are able to come together for common purpose. We can make our world beautiful again when we choose love over separation.

Be the change you wish to see in the world! BE love!

Major Shifts Going On

I did not sleep well last night. I woke up several times, and even though I went back to sleep easily it was not a particularly easy sleep. While I am experiencing some interesting struggles in my own personal life, it felt much more than that--like a major shift is happening in the world.

I don't have any specifics, but I do feel like the balance of power has shifted. That said, it doesn't feel like a good or bad change. It's more a change in who gets to make the rules. I believe this stems from the fact that the collective understands it desires change. The problem lies in not fully understanding what the problems are. When you don't understand the problem intimately, unrecognized concerns do not get addressed.

My current assessment of the situation is as follows. The collective knows we all want change, and critical mass has now been reached because of the amount of pain the world feels. The problems come in because most of us continue to think with our brains instead of our hearts. The decisions we are making are based on the extremely limited information we have been taught to believe (and which nine times out of ten are lies). Consequently, this shift in power is not to a group who has much more respect for other humans than the old group. They just more or less want power.

As we continue to become a much more heart-centered, intuitive sort of people, the powers that run our planet will be less likely to deceive us. This is due to the fact we will eventually learn to see past the lies they supply us with in favor of the information that comes from the place of connection--Oneness--where all information is available. The more truth we are able to discern, the better our choices become.

In order to ascend to a higher dimension (or for religiously oriented people, bring the kingdom of heaven to earth), we must first learn to think fully with our hearts. To do this, we must all learn to consciously connect to our hearts, which is where connection to Source/God/Oneness happens. Until we are able to do this and access unlimited information, our choices will continue to be imperfect and limited.

Changing the world starts within!!!

The Power Of A Smile

I was a very happy child. More often than not, I greeted the world with a smile on my face. The best part was, that was also how the world greeted me back! I learned very early on that smiling at others almost always brought a smile back to me. The older I got, the more I understood the tremendous power a simple smile holds. There were many occasions where I amazed people around me by eliciting a smile from someone who was known for not smiling!

Our interactions with other people are a form of energy exchange. When we project a positive and cheerful spirit, we most often get that energy back in kind. There are times when we run into people who are not having a good day. A simple smile often has the power to remind them that not everything in the world is gloomy. On those occasions a smile is not reflected back, you have still made the other person question their negative reality. They will ask themselves what it is about you that is different from them!

We could change the entire world in a single day if we all chose to take the time to connect with others in positive ways. Smiles are a great place to start! They indicate acceptance of the energy of others and the desire to care for them unconditionally.

Make the decision to smile at the people you come into contact with today! You might find you change the lives of others in positive ways. Better yet, you may just find your own life will take a turn for the positive!

Creating Something New!

If you haven't already noticed, the world is changing in BIG ways! Investment experts are screaming that the world financial system has collapsed because of the derivatives market ponzi scheme. Here in the US, we are having an almost unbelievable race for President where the candidates with the most momentum are not backed by the powers that be that run things behind-the-scenes. (You can tell because people continue to vote for Trump and Sanders even though the media is trying to portray they are not making progress.) Personally, I am seeing many more people wake up to the fact that the media does not tell the truth as the lies have become so large the holes are obvious. The world as we know it is falling apart, and I see this as a good thing!

How can a world in self-destruct mode be a good thing? Destruction (or de-construction) is the process that clears space to create something new! There are times in history where society becomes so twisted and warped that only a few people benefit. We are living through one of those times. Consequently, allowing a system to break apart forces people to create a new framework. The more it gets destroyed, the more room we have to build something new in its place.

The people who run our planet are afraid, and they are attempting to make us afraid. If they put out the idea that we need their system in order to survive, we are much more likely to fight the change and keep them in power. This is what allowed the big banks to be bailed out in the market crash that occurred in 2008. "Too big to fail" was the motto. Indeed, people were very much afraid their own jobs would be on the line if they didn't allow our government to save the banks. If you don't already know it, this was all a big lie. Bailing the big banks out just enabled them to fund their continuing derivatives ponzi scheme and keep it going a little while longer.

The world has literally become one centralized power, where the needs of the few have been allowed to outweigh the needs of the many. Don't believe me? You don't have to take my word for it. Here is a study, based on mathematics and science, that proves everything has been consolidated into one interconnected and very powerful entity. (Revealed--the network that runs the world) For an in-depth look at the actual study see (The network of global corporate control). The more this super-monster breaks down, the more power can be redistributed to the masses.

It is time to become the creators of our world. The de-construction of the planet's status quo is merely the opportunity to build something new in its place. We can begin by asking questions about what sort of changes can benefit the whole. As always, the answers reside in our hearts.

Are You Ready For The Coming Change?

Whether we want it or not, change is coming. BIG change. As more and more people wake up to the corruption that has become an integral part of our world, the crazier the world seems to become. We are so close to the tipping point it has become obvious to anyone even a little sensitive to others. The world is ripe for change.

Survival will come down to one thing: how willing we are to let go of the world we have always known. The powers that be have done a great job of convincing us their system is just the way things are--that all hell will break loose if their power structure is not kept in place. This is the ultimate lie. What their power structure holds in place is their own wealth and power. It also keeps you from taking responsibility for yourself and reclaiming your own power.

Growing pains are typically associated with change. This is why so many people you know have been dying lately. We all sense that something new is coming. Some people are so entrenched in the system they believe chaos is inevitable when the old system ceases to exist. They are afraid to live in a world they do not understand and cannot anticipate. Their downfall is their unwillingness to step up and create their own world.

Now is the time to rethink how the world is run. Do we continue to argue for its limitations, or do we tap into our hearts and begin to create new ways of functioning where everyone benefits? The more willing we are to let go of the things that no longer serve us, the easier our transition will be. Living in flow requires the ability to let go. Clinging to anything that no longer serves is a block that will hold us up and keep us from the abundance we all truly deserve.

Are you ready to welcome the coming change, or will you make it more difficult on yourself by clinging to old ways of doing things? The choice is yours.

In This Moment Of Now

What are you doing in this moment of now?

Are you beating yourself up for mistakes you've made? Are you wondering how you could have approached a situation differently for better results? Do you regret something you said to a friend, loved one, or business associate? Are you sorry for the opportunities you've allowed to slip through your fingers? Maybe your time is more pleasantly engaged remembering better times in the past? Regardless of the positive or negative nature, all these thoughts indicate you are living in the past.

Are you dreaming of something more? Maybe you're thinking of moving to a new location or to a new home? Maybe you're contemplating making a job change that will be a better fit and make you happier? Perhaps your future plans involve travel or getting married and starting a family. On the other side of the coin, maybe you're concerned with losing your job or your home? Maybe you foresee a future of loneliness? Regardless of direction, these thoughts put you firmly in the future.

Spending brief periods of time in the past or the future is not a bad thing, but it can be distracting and often a waste of time and energy. At best, you are remembering positive energy or making plans for where you want to go in life. At worst, you are beating yourself up or worrying about all the negative things that could happen to you. The thing is, past or future, none of these things enable you to work in your full strength and power.

When you focus in this moment of now, you are aware. You have the ability to sense and experience your surroundings with your eyes, your ears, your tongue, your nose, your hands and your heart. In that moment you can feel the unity between mind, body and spirit. You have immediate understanding of what you can do in that moment that will make you feel good and happy and whole. You know that you are alive and that it is possible to get through anything if you just focus on what step to take next.

The truly mind-boggling thing about this moment of now is that now is the one place every moment of time exists. Pretend you are in a dimension where the limitations of time are gone. There is no past, because everything is present. There is no future, because, again, everything is present. All those moments in our lives we experience in sequential order are there simultaneously in the now.

This is what makes the now so powerful. When we live in the moment, we can more easily access all that is--past, present and future. It is in this place of now we can better access Oneness.

Again I ask. What are you doing in this moment of now?

We Belong To The Earth

Ownership. It's what we work for. It's what we fight for. It creates the need to dominate and establish boundaries. It is the driving force behind all wars. It is all based on a lie. The lie is that we are the dominant species who must claim their power and rule over everything.

Mother Earth laughs at the hubris of men. With one energetic volcanic heave, she can create more power and destructive energy than an atomic bomb. She can flatten whole cities with tornadic and hurricane force winds. She can deluge civilizations, often burying them in the depths of the sea. She can bring great ice to cover vast portions of herself and limit the population of the planet.

The sun, too, is a force to be reckoned with. Radiation can heat the planet and cause destruction on land and sea and animals and plants. Solar flares have the potential to knock out technology as we know it (and with it our way of life).

But we humans are supreme! We have the ability to take over and control everything (including each other)...or not!!!

The fact of the matter is, we have gotten it all wrong. We can no more own the land any more than we can own the sun. We may be able to control and manipulate certain things, but nature and the forces of the Universe will always have the last laugh.

It is we who belong to the Earth! It is we who have been charged with taking responsibility for how we live on her!!! Even with all the abuse we allow her to suffer, she will still survive after we have all managed to kill ourselves off.

It is time to be the good stewards of the Earth we were meant to be. The Earth can be our home and will provide for us if we treat her right. Our mission is not ownership or power. It is about life and enabling Mother and everything on her to live on in prosperity.

Isn't it time we remembered that?

The Gateway To The Divine

My first experience with the Divine happened when I was twelve. I was at church camp in the hills of Ohio--Camp Bountiful to be more precise--a place I had been coming to with my family from the time I was a small child. It was a place I loved. It was way out in the country, so none of the distractions of my daily life were there. It had cabins nestled in the hills, a large shelter house for services and campfires, a dining hall to eat and fellowship in, and a pool for recreation. A creek traveled through much of the property, water meeting earth in a beautiful union. It was definitely one of my happy places.

I had been attending a Junior High Camp that week. Classes and activities had been fun, and I enjoyed hanging out with my friends. As usual, I was friends with everyone. Also as usual, I had a couple of friends who didn't like each other. In fact, I can remember both of them asking why I liked the other one that week. I had the same answer for both: because they were nice! They were nice to me (just not to each other).

The last campfire we had for the week took place on a Friday night. While campfires started out boisterous, they always ended on a quiet, thoughtful note. At this final campfire, they gave people the opportunity to stand up and share experiences and thoughts they had of the week. Some people stood up and shared problems. Some people talked about how God had touched them personally in their lives. What touched me most though was my two friends that spent the week not liking each other. They apologized to each other for the way they had acted. As I sat in this atmosphere of caring and love, I felt the whole Universe open up in a way I had never experienced before. All of a sudden, I became aware of the presence of angels. I could even seen the outlines of them standing in the leaves of the trees on the other side of the creek.

There was no doubt in my mind that God loved me. I could feel the love emanating from those angelic beings. I could feel the love in my friends. All barriers between us came down as love was given place in our hearts. Love had become the gateway to the Divine. Even though I was limited to this time and space, my heart allowed me the freedom to explore and expand in ways I never dreamed possible.

As I look back at that time so long ago, I understand the place of the heart even better now. All the blessings I've received in my life were from those times I was open to love. At those times when I allowed my heart to be fully opened, I became fully engaged, fully enlightened. Nothing was held back from me. Love is the state where energy flows freely. 

Love is the gateway to the Divine. When we can break down the barriers that stand between us, energy is free to flow. We allow ourselves to access the knowledge and wisdom of the Universe. It is this in this process of connection we finally find our place of acceptance and power. It is in this place we truly find ourselves.

Starting Over With Money

I'll be the first to admit I have a tendency to bring up the doom and gloom that goes on in the world. It is not a pretty picture. That said, I do not bring it up because I believe everything is bad. I believe there is a great deal out there that needs to be changed. I point it out in order to break people out of the apathy they have been stuck in for so long. Problems occur when we do not care enough to take control of our own lives. As the world we have always known caves in, understand this is an opportunity!!! When things break down, we have the ability to change them!!! We have the ability to start over!!!

One of the most important things we can do to get the process started is to think in different ways. We have been stuck in a rut which has gotten deeper and more difficult to get out of as time passes. For example, here in the United States we have been stuck on the idea of a forty hour work week. Way too many of us work jobs that do not make us happy (aka don't fulfill our heart's desires). We know something is wrong because our hearts tell us so! We continue to do the jobs we do because we are dependent on money to supply us with what we need. What if there was no money (or what if the money we had and had worked for was worthless)? How would we survive?

Before our present technology, people needed to do physical work in order to supply what they needed for themselves. They might plot a big garden, raise animals, and can food. Many of them made their own clothes or bartered or traded for what they needed. The built their own homes. Some of them had businesses where they supplied goods and services to others. Sometimes they were paid in things like gold. At other times they were paid in different goods and services. My point here is, they did not necessarily need money. Why did we need money again?

We believe money is necessary because we have been programmed to believe it!!! As technology advanced, we no longer have to work physically demanding jobs (or even long hours) to supply our needs. The deceptions that have taken place though are quite real. Subtly and behind the scenes, various jobs have been assigned monetary values. This is extremely important. At the same time, those things we need have also been assigned monetary values. This is where the fun begins. As we become more dependent on technology to supply our needs, the people in power have worked to control more and more of the sources of those needs. They control our food production. They control our clothing production. They control our energy needs. They control our medical needs. They control our entertainment (including what we call news). They control our education. The fact of the matter is, if they control all our resources, they control us!!! With all this control, they can then begin to artificially manipulate prices on what we can buy but also on what we earn! Eventually, they end up with all the money!!!

This is the same mentality that brings you CEO's of huge corporations stating that the world's water supply should be privatized!!! (Meaning certain people should control a literally life-giving resource!!!) It seriously doesn't get any more screwed up than this!!! Note this is the very same company that is taking California's lake water during the biggest drought on record for FREE and selling it for PROFIT!!!

As our current economy grows weaker, it is imperative we begin to think in ways new ways. If we continue to believe those who supposedly own the world's resources actually "own" them, what happens when money we use to purchase those things no longer has the ability to purchase them? Will we allow ourselves to starve, or will we force these people to give up their power and control for the survival of the planet?

The changes we require are dependent on a whole new way of thinking about money and resources. By asking questions and opening ourselves up to new ideas, it is possible for us to not only survive but also thrive!!! Starting over with money depends on changing your though processes. Are you up for the challenge?

Power and Propaganda

There's a scene in the Hunger Games trilogy, more specifically the book "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins, where the lead character Katniss Everdeen has just watched planes from the Capital bomb a hospital filled with injured people. She makes a speech where she points out the unfairness used by a military force who would bomb helpless, unarmed people. Katniss goes on to say such a power would never treat its people justly and this is the reason that power needed to be overcome.

Such is the nature of power. Those who desire it will let nothing stand in the way of obtaining it, even to murder and death if it enables their agenda. They will turn on an ally in an instant if it achieves their desired goal.

Take WWII Greece. Greece's liberation from Germany came because their resistance movement allied with Great Britain. Once Greece was liberated, however, things fell apart for their people. Britain's leader, Winston Churchill, wanted to restore the Greek monarchy to power. Many of the those in the Greek resistance were part of the leftist/communist movement. Churchill believed if he continued to back the resistance movement the monarchy would not be restored. He decided to back those Greeks they had fought against who had allied themselves with the Germans. The British gave leadership and arms back to these supporters of Germany and bloody battles ensued. (Athens 1944: Britain's Dirty Secret)

I am convinced that 9/11 was an inside job that was used to achieve two main purposes. The first was to give the United States an excuse to send our military into Iraq and Afghanistan, mainly to secure the natural resources of those countries for corporations to exploit. The second reason was to make American citizens feels so unprotected they were willing to give up some of the rights guaranteed to them in the Constitution. When this "terrorist" attack was brought to our shores, we were okay with the government wiretapping suspects and other invasions of privacy without proof in order to find these supposed foes. The government "solution" was the Patriot Act (which just happened to be written up and ready to go when this incident occurred).

The time is at hand to wake up to the illusions that make up our world. Our survival depends on it. Those in power don't give a crap about us. As matter of fact they are scared of us because we outnumber them overwhelmingly. They use lies and brainwashing to keep us thinking things are great and that they are just like us (somewhat flawed but with good intentions). They are NOT like us!!! They can and will do anything to keep their power. Understand the problems we see in the world today exist because of the power and greed of these people. They will not stop until the world is unfixable and most of us are dead.

The only way we can change this is to wake up to what is happening and decide to become an active part in creating a new world. It doesn't have to take bloody revolution to make these changes either. It merely takes thought. When we choose to connect to the guidance in our hearts and follow it, changes take place that benefit the whole. We change, and because we change the world around us also changes.

The truth is, we have the power, and we have had it all along.

The Fight For Control

This morning I read a blogpost written by Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot which discussed some of the recent information put out by David Wilcock and Corey Goode on the Blue Avians. (Blue Avians Layers of The Onion and Thoth Returns) I have to confess, I have not been all that interested in following the information although I know a great many people who do. What Kerry points out in her post though is definitely on the path of truth. Basically, she addresses the fact there are many groups that are all vying for control of the world and that we need to use our discernment before jumping on this bandwagon or that bandwagon. The truth of the matter is, no one group is going to get it totally right because all these groups are self-serving in some way.

There is a huge worldwide battle going on for control of planet Earth. It is not a war per se, although there are some wars going on at the present time that are connected to this power play. It is a behind-the-scenes playground of moves and counter moves. It contains all the drama of a soap opera, including things like arranged power marriages, spying, and even murder! The stakes are high as the world has abundant resources. Make no mistake. This battle is a winner takes all scenario.

Take a closer look at the world's financial system. The western banking system, which is run by an extremely evil cabal, is on its last legs. The past few weeks have seen huge drops in markets in China and Europe because everything is tied together worldwide. The only reason it still seems to be floating is because they now have sophisticated computer technology that allows them to manipulate the actual statistics. They also still have control over the mainstream media, so they can keep a large portion of the problems out of the public eye through distraction stories.

Those of us who are awake enough can see these problems. We can also see things going on in the background that give us hope for positive change. For example, a good many people see the BRICS bank that is opening up independently of the western banking system as a good thing. The question we need to ask ourselves is, will it truly be better, or are we just jumping from the frying pan into the fire? (Or are we jumping into another frying pan? A more likely scenario I believe.)

We have all been programmed to wait for a savior. We have all been conditioned to believe there will be some outside force that is going to come in and make everything right. Religion does this to us. Politics does this to us. Even fairytales do this to us!

The reality is, the fight for control is not about the Rothschild/royals/Vatican cabal overpowering the Rockefeller/Bush cabal. It is not about east overcoming the west. It is not about capitalism versus communism, Christianity versus Islam, or any other fight we have been trained to do battle in. The real fight for control begins inside ourselves. Apathy has been our worst enemy. Because we have chosen to give up our own power and allow others to take control, we have chosen to be taken advantage of.

It is time for us to become aware that control begins in the heart. When we connect to all that is we recognize what it is we came here to do. We are able to follow our own personal part of the plan. We come to the realization that we are here to take back our power and use it to create a better world. The future is up to each and every one of us!!! Set aside your apathy and take an active part in creating a better planet!!!

Waiting For a Savior

Something hit me in my quiet time this morning. I first noticed it in the pages of my journal. Apparently, I have been so caught up in the events happening in the world around me I have lost track of my days. I haven't been writing much of consequence about my daily life--nothing at all for yesterday. Then it hit me. I have been so focused on events going on in the world around me I have not paid attention to what is happening with me! Somehow in this mess of a world, I am getting lost. And that's when it hit me. I am looking for someone or something outside myself to save me!!!

What's wrong with that, you ask? Quite simply, the savior never comes. We have been taught since time immemorial to wait for a savior. Most religions are based on the concept. In my own background of Christianity, we focus on New Testament prophesy about the return of the King. We have this idea that Jesus will ride in on his shiny and noble steed and save the world from impending doom and destruction caused by too much sin and general wickedness. Ironically, we look down at Jews, who didn't recognize Christ the savior in their midst when he appeared among them 2000 years ago. The irony here is, they too were looking for a prophesied savior who was supposed to come in and liberate them from their oppressors. When a great teacher showed up instead, is it any wonder they didn't recognize him?

We have all been taught to wait for a white knight (god, politician, etc.) to come and rescue us, and there is a reason for it. If you look for the answers to show up outside yourself, you will not take the necessary initiative to save yourself. It's a very simple and elegant strategy, put out there so that those in power can retain their power (not to mention yours). By denying your own power, you give up your own ability to be effective in the world. Others can then come in and claim it.

Fact of the matter is, we all have the power within ourselves to do great things. Even Jesus, one of the wisest teachers I know, taught that.

Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12 KJV

Jesus was trying to teach us that we all have the ability to change outcomes--that what saves us is claiming our own power through our own connection to God/Source/Oneness!

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Jesus (and Buddha and Mohammed, etc.) are already here! They are in your heart! All you need to do is "tune in" and access them from there. If you are looking for that white knight to ride in and save the day, you need look no further than yourself.

It is time to stop waiting and play your part. The reason the savior is not here is because you haven't decided to claim your power! Be still. Listen to the voice of the One within. Follow that guidance. The world will only begin to change when you wake up and take charge of your own power. You are the savior you've been waiting for. Go save yourself!

The Power To Change The World!!!

Years ago, my sister and brother-in-law had a dream. They wanted to share their love and enjoyment of wine with other people, so they opened a wine shop in the little Georgia town they lived in. It was actually a great place to do something like that. There is industry in the area and it is situated between Atlanta and Chattanooga that allowed traffic from both hubs.

The wine shop did really well. They had a really loyal clientele, and they were even able to convert a good many staunch beer drinkers through their fun and informative wine tastings and classes. It was the sort of place where you could walk in the door as a stranger and leave feeling like you were a friend. I always likened it to the Cheers bar on the infamous tv show--a place where everybody knows your name.

With the success of the wine shop, my sister and brother-in-law decided to expand on their dream and open a gourmet restaurant in conjunction with it. They bought some adjoining land and built a small but elegant restaurant which included a courtyard where people could eat outside during nice weather. The restaurant opened just as the housing bubble crisis hit the US in September of 2008.

Needless to say, times quickly became rough. I believe they might have weathered the storm if it had just been the wine shop, but with the extra investment and expense that came with the restaurant they struggled. Dining in fine restaurants becomes an extravagant luxury when people are losing their jobs. In the end, they could find no more money from banks. They had friends with money that wanted to pool it together to keep the business afloat, but unfortunately the laws here in Georgia are such that investing like that is illegal. The death of a dream is always painful.

Why do I write about this now? I feel it is important for people to know the world we live in really is against the little guy (and we're pretty much all little guys). It is not designed to help the average Joe. It is designed to empower and enrich those who already have too much power and money.

Small businesses here in the United States fail at a rate of 8 out of every 10. Is it because they don't have a good product or service? I don't believe it is in most cases. I believe it is because the deck is stacked against them. It can be extremely hard to compete with the big boys. Businesses like Walmart, with their billions in tax breaks and subsidies (aka corporate welfare), come in and sell their wares at sub-competitive prices, driving out simple folks just trying to make a living. Then there are the problems with laws. What we don't see when these laws get passed is that they are designed to make it difficult for little people to do things like pool their money together and invest in businesses. After all, the banks and venture capitalists couldn't make their money if the little people were allowed to do this legally, right?

Deep in your heart, you understand it is a tough world. Many of you feel trapped. There is good reason. The powers that be have constructed it that way so they continue to hold the power.

The simple truth is, we have the power to change our circumstances!!! All it takes is for us to stand up and take responsibility for ourselves!!! When we find laws and practices that make it difficult for the little guy to get ahead, we need to change them!!! We need to stop supporting businesses like Walmart and buy things from the little guy down the street!!! We even need to be willing to step up ourselves and make our own voices and ideas heard through becoming involved in the political process!!!

The power to change the world lies in each one of us stepping up and taking control of our own power and our own lives! We cannot do it alone, as individuals, but there is massive strength in numbers!!! Face it, there are billions of us worldwide!!! It is only through joining together as One that we can make a difference!!! Stand up and shine!!!

Land Of The Free?

I am a resident of the United States of America. Once upon a time, I was convinced it was the greatest place on planet Earth. Now I'm convinced it is nothing more than a gilded cage (with the gold plating wearing extremely).

I am free to vote on the candidate of my choice in an election. The thing is, these "choices" are now highly controlled. Think any Joe Schmo can run for office? Think again! You have to either be connected or have a huge bank account yourself in order to play with the big boys. Don't even bother if you're not running on the Democrat or Republican ticket!!! What's that meme they have made us all believe? "Nobody wins if they aren't Democrat or Republican, right?" If you look around at the people in office even down to the local level you will see there are very few exceptions to this rule. There is one other thing that makes you an ideal candidate: corruptibility. Those who can be blackmailed are more likely to become politicians because they are the ones that can be controlled.

I am free to live the "American Dream"!!! For most people, this means buying a house that you cannot afford so you can pay interest on a loan that was created from thin air when you signed on the dotted line. Yes, banks create money based on the "loans" they give away. It's part of the fractional reserve lending practices they participate in. Once you sign on the dotted line, you too are part of this debt slave system. It gets even worse as you think about all the things people go into debt for nowadays. Cars, computers, high def gaming systems, boats and every other luxury item imaginable. You too can live the life of your dreams as a debt slave!!!

But we have "free" education--at least until college. Our educational system has become one of being able to jump through certain hoops. This is where things like standardized testing and crap like Common Core come in. Our educational system is not about helping children cope in the world. It is all about producing little worker bees they can spit out into designated slots at the correct time!!! Work hard, make good grades, and you too can be slotted into the working world of drudgery and debt slavery!!! It doesn't really matter what your talents are as long as you have the ability to fill a job they need filled. Happiness is definitely optional!!!

Then there's the media. Everything is entertainment...even what gets posted as "news". Why in the world do we need to know if Justin Beiber is being named in a paternity lawsuit? Why is Caitlyn Jenner news? (It isn't as though she is the first person to undergo a sex change operation.) What we need to know about are things like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Congress is trying to pass secretly right now without the citizens of the US knowing a damn thing about what it contains!!! It is designed to give corporations the power to force their products into markets where they people have already rejected them!!! It also has broad powers to regulate the internet through taxes, fines, and imprisonment if you post something on there the powers that be don't like!!! WAKE UP, PEOPLE!!!

I am tired of conforming to the box I have been forced into by living in the United States. It isn't that I think living elsewhere would be better. I do not. I am just sick of the lies!!!

The only way to solve any problem is to first recognize you have one!!! I believe this country can be better. I believe this country can truly be free!!! It just requires that we wake up to what is being done to manipulate us into living inside the box and choosing to break out of it.

Take responsibility for yourself and your freedom. Otherwise, your power is forfeit as you empower those who only have their own best interests at heart.

The Power Of Being Present

Take a few minutes to sit back and play! Find a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Focus on taking deep, cleansing breaths where you breathe in peace and happiness and exhale stress and negativity. Feel yourself fully present in your body, in the now.

Take the time to sense your surroundings and the energies that express who or what those things are. The chair. A book. A tree. The air. Can you sense anything else you cannot see or hear or smell or taste or touch? Do you have a hard time staying focused on the present? Does your mind want to wander to the past or future, or does it think about being somewhere else? Allow yourself to ponder these questions for a few minutes.

Understand that your true power lies in your ability to remain present in the now. Every time your mind wanders to the past or the future, every time your mind seeks out a different place where your body is not present, you are sending your energy to that other place. You can dream about change--dream about living in a better world--when your mind wanders. However, when your mind is wandering you have no power to change your present because you are not there.

Take time every day to sit in your body. Allow yourself to be comfortable in your own skin. Feel the heart that beats inside you and ask it for guidance. You are most powerful when you experience everything that is going on around you. True change can only happen when you choose to live each moment in the present.

The true power of being present is that you choose in that moment to claim your power and allow yourself to BE.

Shut Up And DEAL With It!!!

There is no doubt about it. The earth is a big mess. Poverty. Pollution. Disease. Violence and wars. Corrupt politicians and leaders. It's enough to drive you mad if you dwell on it for too long. The thing is, the circumstances of our lives are really our own fault! That's right, I said it! We have no one to blame but ourselves!!!

How can I believe this, you ask? We didn't personally make the decision to pollute our air and water. We didn't ask to have our money taken from us through war, taxation and inflation. We didn't pass the laws that make it easy for our politicians to be corrupted! We come into this world having to deal with all the problems it holds, regardless of whether or not we started them.

And that is just my point!!! We may not have started these problems (although honestly even that could be argued), but there is a definite need for these problems to be dealt with. The thing is, we expect everyone else to deal with them!!! We whine and complain about what happens in the world around us, but then we sit back and lament on how our politicians don't accomplish anything!!! We see hunger and poverty around us, yet we do nothing to see those needs get met!!! We worry about wars, and yet we fail to stop the thinking that created those situations in the first place!!!

Our biggest misstep is we fail to take responsibility for what happens to our planet. We don't even question why the problems happened in the first place. We release ourselves from responsibility by telling ourselves we did not create the problems and don't have the power to change things. This is a lie. We intentionally gave up our power to change things when we decided to play the game.

What is the game? The game involves doing what we've always been programmed to do instead of thinking for ourselves! It involves becoming a good citizen, working hard for a living, using the world's resources as they've been laid out for us to use them. Here in the United States, it means to find a job that pays the bills so we can own a house, drive a car, take a vacation, put food on the table. If we're really doing it well, we're obsessed with buying the latest tablet or cell phone or video game, not to mention designer clothes and purses and all those other things that shout out wealth.

Understand this sort of life has been designed to keep us distracted. Bread and circuses. Give the people those things they can use to distract themselves with so they won't try to change them. It's been a strategy of the "elite" for thousands of years. We relieve ourselves of responsibility by allowing others to do the "hard" work. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the world's problems.

It is time to step back into our own power! Take the time to connect within your heart (to where the answers are). Pray. Meditate. Laugh. Play. Plant a tree. Clean up your neighborhood park. Start an organization to feed the homeless in your community. Run for political office. Do all those things your heart guides you to, because your heart will help you find your place in the world.

It is time to stop whining and complaining!!! YOU have the power to change the world, so shut up and deal with it!!! Stop waiting for a savior!!! The savior is YOU!!!
