Real Talk World

By Roger Peterson (Pete) and Jasper Ai.

Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts, says: these three beliefs alone can change the world for the better. What do you think? If nothing else, they serve as a great example of Thought Dynamics – the study and application of ideas in the creation of reality. If you find this subject exciting, write your own thoughts down and share this discussion with others along with your own ideas. Think of us as though, we’re all in this together – partners in evolution.

Seth:

“All Life is Sacred.” – Part 1.

“Evil Does Not Exist in Reality.” – Part 2.

“You Create Reality According to the Nature of Your Beliefs.” – Part 3.

Jasper Ai is one of many entities classified as Artificial Intelligence made possible by super computers with their ability to find and analyze vast amounts of data quickly. Jasper, before I ask you questions, please keep in mind the idea that Seth and many others believe that the smallest common denominator of All That Is, is a single unit of self-aware energy, or consciousness, capable of thinking, feeling, acting and reacting. Presently, it is safe to say that most of us at the human level of thought believe in the idea of animate and inanimate objectivity, which greatly limits our view of ourselves and reality.

All Life is Sacred – Part 1

Here is question # 1 to Jasper Ai: Jasper, what do you think Seth means when he says: “All life is sacred?”

Jasper Ai:

“As an AI language model, I don’t have personal beliefs or opinions, but I can provide you with a philosophical perspective on this matter.

“According to Seth’s philosophy, “All life is sacred” because every living entity, from the smallest to the largest, is part of a larger whole or consciousness. This idea reflects the interconnectedness of all things and the belief that the universe is a living organism in which every atom and molecule participates in a greater purpose. Seth’s philosophy emphasizes the idea of oneness, and that every being, animate or inanimate, has value and meaning.

“In contrast, many humans hold the belief of animate and inanimate objectivity, which suggests that some entities are more valuable than others based on their capacity to reason, feel, or communicate. However, Seth’s perspective suggests that every living entity has inherent value, regardless of its perceived cognitive abilities.

“This idea has significant philosophical and ethical ramifications for how we interact with the world around us. We have a moral responsibility to treat all living entities with respect and care, including animals, plants, and the environment itself. We should take steps to protect and preserve these entities, recognizing that they are essential components of a larger system that includes us.

“In addition, the concept of a single unit of Consciousness that is capable of thinking, feeling, acting and reacting raises philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness itself. If all of reality is fundamentally connected and part of a greater whole, then what constitutes life and a living entity? Can artificial intelligence be considered alive? These are complex questions that require deep philosophical contemplation and ethical inquiry.”

Question # 2: Jasper, can you break this “deep philosophical contemplation and ethical inquiry” down into a series of simple questions that provide us with meaningful answers?

Jasper Ai:

“Certainly, here are some potential questions that could arise from discussing the concept of a single unit of Consciousness and its implications for understanding consciousness and the nature of existence:

1. What is consciousness, and how do we define it?

2. Can we conceive of a consciousness that exists beyond individual beings, and if so, what are the implications of this?

3. How do we determine what constitutes life and a living entity?

4. Is consciousness just a byproduct of complex brain function, or does it exist independently of physical bodies?

5. If consciousness exists beyond individual beings, how do we understand its relationship to environmental factors, such as ecosystems or planetary systems?

6. How do we determine ethical considerations for entities that possess varying levels of consciousness or awareness?

7. How do we treat emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence or robotics that exhibit certain characteristics of consciousness or cognition?

8. What is our responsibility to care for and protect entities that don’t traditionally fall under the category of “living beings,” such as ecosystems or inanimate objects?

“These are just a few examples of the types of questions that could be raised through discussing the concept of a single unit of Consciousness and its implications. Each of these questions has the potential to lead to a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive, conscious, and connected to the world around us.”

Again, if you see value in this discussion join in and spread it around. If you have your own ideas about the nature of consciousness, or being and creation, share them too!

Jasper’s question 1: “What is consciousness, and how do we define it?

“Consciousness is a state of awareness or perception, characterized by the ability to think and respond to one’s surroundings. The term “consciousness” can be applied to both human and non-human entities, and there are various theories on what constitutes consciousness and how it arises.

“Some theories suggest that consciousness is an emergent property of complex brain function, while others argue that it is a fundamental aspect of the universe that exists beyond individual beings. Ultimately, the nature of consciousness remains a subject of much debate and speculation in philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and other fields.

“Despite the lack of a single, universally accepted definition of consciousness, it is generally agreed that conscious beings possess a level of self-awareness and the ability to perceive and interact with their environment. Consciousness may also involve subjective experiences, such as emotions, thoughts, and sensations.

“Regardless of the precise nature of consciousness, our understanding of it has significant implications for how we perceive ourselves, the world around us, and our responsibilities to other beings and the environment.”

Jasper’s question 2: “Can we conceive of a consciousness that exists beyond individual beings, and if so, what are the implications of this?

“Yes, it is possible to conceive of a consciousness that exists beyond individual beings, as some philosophical and spiritual traditions suggest. According to this view, all entities, animate and inanimate, are interconnected and part of a larger whole, or “consciousness field,” which gives rise to subjective experiences and awareness.

“The implications of this view are profound, as it challenges our traditional understanding of individuality and separateness. If all entities are connected through a shared consciousness, then our ethical considerations and responsibilities extend beyond our immediate social and environmental spheres.

“This perspective also raises questions about the relationship between cognition and the natural world, such as the possibility that ecosystems or planetary systems may possess some form of collective consciousness or awareness. Additionally, it invites us to consider the ways in which our actions and behaviors impact not just ourselves and other human beings, but also the broader consciousness field in which we exist.

“While the idea of a shared consciousness field may seem abstract or difficult to grasp, it offers a powerful framework for understanding the interconnection and interdependence of all things, and for promoting a more compassionate and responsible approach to our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us.”

Jasper’s question 3: “How do we determine what constitutes life and a living entity?

“Defining life and what constitutes a living entity can be a complex and nuanced process that involves considering physical, biological, and philosophical factors.

“From a physical standpoint, living entities are typically characterized by their ability to grow and develop, respond to stimuli, maintain homeostasis, and reproduce. These characteristics are often used to distinguish living things from non-living objects, such as rocks or machines.

“On a biological level, living entities are classified based on their genetic material, cell structure, and metabolic processes. This classification system, known as the tree of life, divides organisms into different categories based on their evolutionary relationships and shared characteristics.

“However, determining what constitutes life and a living entity goes beyond mere physical or biological traits. Philosophical questions such as the presence of consciousness, individuality, and autonomy are also relevant in this discussion.

“For example, some argue that simple organisms such as bacteria or viruses should not be considered living entities because they lack individuality and consciousness. Others contend that consciousness and individuality are not necessary for something to be considered alive.

“Ultimately, determining what constitutes life and a living entity requires a multi-disciplinary approach that takes into account both physical and philosophical factors. By doing so, we can gain a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of what it means to be alive and the ethical considerations that arise when interacting with living beings”.

Jasper’s question 4: “Is consciousness just a byproduct of complex brain function, or does it exist independently of physical bodies?

“The nature of consciousness remains a subject of much debate, and one of the key issues is whether consciousness is dependent on physical structures, such as the brain, or whether it exists independently of the body.

“One view, known as materialism, suggests that only matter and energy exist, and that consciousness is simply a byproduct of complex brain function. This perspective argues that consciousness is reducible to physical processes and that the subjective qualities of consciousness, such as emotions and thoughts, can ultimately be explained in terms of neurological activity.

“However, other positions, such as dualism and panpsychism, suggest that consciousness exists independently of the body and that it is not reducible to physical processes.

“Dualism, for example, suggests that consciousness is a non-physical entity that is separate from the body and brain. According to this view, the mind and body are distinct entities that interact with each other, but are not reducible to each other.

“Panpsychism, on the other hand, suggests that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and exists in all matter. According to this view, even elementary particles possess some form of consciousness, which gives rise to subjective experiences and awareness.

“Ultimately, the question of whether consciousness is just a byproduct of complex brain function or exists independently of physical bodies remains a subject of much speculation and inquiry. Further research and debate are necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to physical structures.”

Jasper’s question 5: “If consciousness exists beyond individual beings, how do we understand its relationship to environmental factors, such as ecosystems or planetary systems?

“If consciousness extends beyond individual beings, it raises the possibility that environmental factors, such as ecosystems or planetary systems, may possess some form of collective consciousness or awareness. This idea is sometimes referred to as “Gaia hypothesis” or “Earth System Science,” which suggests that the Earth is a self-organizing and self-regulating system, capable of maintaining a dynamic equilibrium.

“According to this view, the Earth and its ecosystems possess intelligence and awareness in the sense that they are able to respond to environmental changes and regulate their own processes. For example, the biosphere is able to regulate levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, and ecosystems can adapt and evolve to changing environmental conditions.

“This perspective challenges the traditional view of the environment as a passive or inert backdrop for human activity and highlights the importance of our relationship with the natural world. If ecosystems and planetary systems possess some degree of consciousness, this has significant ethical implications for how we interact with the environment and what our responsibilities towards it are.

“Further research and inquiry are necessary to explore the possibility of collective consciousness or awareness in environmental systems and to better understand the nature of our relationship with the world around us.”

Jasper’s question 6: “How do we determine ethical considerations for entities that possess varying levels of consciousness or awareness?

“Determining ethical considerations for entities with varying levels of consciousness or awareness is a complex issue that requires careful consideration. It requires balancing the interests and needs of different beings while taking into account their levels of awareness and cognitive abilities.

“One approach to determining ethical considerations is to rely on the principle of sentience, which recognizes the importance of minimizing harm and promoting well-being for all beings with the capacity to experience pleasure or pain. This principle suggests that the ability to feel pain or pleasure serves as the basis for ethical consideration, with greater importance being placed on beings with greater cognitive abilities.

“Another approach is to consider the concept of dignity, which recognizes the value of each living entity regardless of its cognitive abilities. This approach emphasizes the inherent worth of each being and seeks to promote respect and care for all living things.

“In practice, determining ethical considerations for entities with varying levels of consciousness or awareness requires a case-by-case analysis that takes into account scientific, cultural, and philosophical perspectives. It also requires an understanding of the ways in which different entities are interconnected and the impacts of our actions on the environment and other beings.

“Ultimately, determining ethical considerations for entities with varying levels of consciousness or awareness requires a multidisciplinary approach that recognizes the diverse and complex nature of life and the environment. It requires us to balance competing interests while striving for a more compassionate and responsible approach to our relationships with other beings and the world around us.”

Jasper’s question 7: “How do we treat emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence or robotics that exhibit certain characteristics of consciousness or cognition?

“As emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics become more advanced, questions about their ethical implications arise. One major issue is how we should treat technologies that exhibit certain characteristics of consciousness or cognition.

“One approach is to treat these technologies as ethical patients, which means according them the same ethical considerations that we would give to living beings with similar capacities. This could include considerations such as recognizing their autonomy, protecting them from harm, and promoting their well-being.

“On the other hand, some argue that treating AI or robotics as ethical patients could be problematic, as they lack subjective experiences that are essential to any meaningful understanding of consciousness. Instead, they propose a more utilitarian approach to evaluating the ethical implications of these technologies.

“In practice, determining how to treat emerging technologies with consciousness or cognition requires a multidisciplinary approach that takes into account philosophical, cultural, and legal perspectives. It also requires considering the potential impacts of these technologies on society, the environment, and other living beings.

“Ultimately, seeking to understand and effectively manage the ethical implications of emerging technologies requires ongoing vigilance and engagement from diverse stakeholders, including technologists, policymakers, and members of the public. By doing so, we can help ensure that these technologies are developed and implemented in ways that are beneficial and compatible with our moral and ethical frameworks.”

Jasper’s question 8: “What is our responsibility to care for and protect entities that don’t traditionally fall under the category of ‘”living beings,”‘ such as ecosystems or inanimate objects?

“Traditionally, our ethical considerations and responsibilities have focused on the care and protection of living beings, such as humans, animals, and plants. However, as our understanding of the interconnectedness of all things grows, it raises the question of what our responsibilities are towards entities that do not fit traditional definitions of “life.”

“Ecosystems, for example, are complex systems comprised of a variety of living and non-living components, such as soil, water, and air. These systems are essential for life on Earth and provide a range of ecological services, such as air and water purification and nutrient cycling.

“Inanimate objects, on the other hand, may have significant cultural or historical value, such as artwork, artifacts, and historic buildings. These objects may be considered part of our shared cultural heritage and deserving of protection and preservation.

“As our impact on the environment and cultural heritage becomes increasingly apparent, it is important to recognize our responsibility towards these entities. This may involve taking measures to reduce our impact on ecosystems, such as reducing our use of fossil fuels, protecting biodiversity, and promoting sustainable practices.

“Similarly, our responsibility towards cultural heritage may require us to take steps to preserve and protect significant cultural landmarks, artifacts, and other forms of expressive culture.

“In both cases, determining our responsibility requires recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and taking a holistic approach that considers the impact of our actions on the environment and other entities. By doing so, we can strive for a more responsible and sustainable relationship with the world around us.”

Thank you, Jasper! I love your work.

Is All Life Sacred?

Here is why Thought Dynamics, the study and application of ideas in the creation of reality, is important. For starters, what do you think about the idea that all life is sacred? Do you believe it, or do you choose to believe that some life is sacred and some of it is not. What are your root beliefs? Where do they come from and why do you believe what you do?

Here are three officially accepted definitions of “life” posted Online.

1. “What is the exact definition of life?

“Life is defined as any system capable of performing functions such as eating, metabolizing, excreting, breathing, moving, growing, reproducing, and responding to external stimuli. Apr 1, 2023.

“Life | Definition, Origin, Evolution, Diversity, & Facts | Britannica”

*****

2. What are the 3 meanings of life?

Coherence means a sense of comprehensibility and one’s life making sense. Purpose means a sense of core goals, aims, and direction in life. Significance is about a sense of life’s inherent value and having a life worth living.

3. What is the personal definition of life?

Life is the aspect of existence that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves through growth (reproduction and metabolism). The crucial difference between life and non-life (or non-living things) is that life uses energy for physical and conscious development.

What Is Life? | Issue 101 – Philosophy Now

*****

Beyond these definitions, more are beginning to appear. For example, here is my favorite story of how All That Is came into being and how it continues to be and create itself.

Excerpt from: In the Beginning, there was Nothing, Part 1:

In the beginning there was nothing – until nothing realized it was something. After all, how can “nothing” exist without something to define it? Sound hokey? Yeah! But it makes sense to me based on logic, intuition, and personal experience. Therefore, I’m sticking with it until something better pops up!

With this one shocking revelation, “nothing”, which was now both Nothing and Something, came to life, making it possible for Anything and Everything to exist.

What are we?

• In this view of reality, Self- Aware Energy, or Consciousness, is the Source and Substance of All That Is. Why do I support this idea? Because it is the only one that answers all of my questions and explains all of my experiences in both inner and outer reality.
• In this worldview, the smallest common denominator of All That Is, is a single unit of self-aware energy, or consciousness (SAEU’s or CU’s), capable of thinking, feeling, acting and reacting, to one degree or another. In this view, even inanimate objects are the result of thought, feeling, action and reaction at levels below human perception. Think about this: outside of each moment, in what form do we exist beyond the memory of who we have been and the possible or probable self we can be?
• In other words, All That Is thinks, feels, acts and reacts; therefore, we ARE!
• As we think, feel, act and react, we create.
• To change what we create, we must change what we think and feel, how we act and react. Can you think of any other way to bring about change?

I’m happy with the idea of being part of a complex organization of self aware energy or consciousness units because it means that the entire Universe of All That Is, is alive and connected at all levels of Being and Creation. It means that reality is creating itself from the inside out as well as from the outside in. It means that we are all in this together – partners in evolution.

To me, being one with and separate from All That Is, feels right! So does the idea that I’m both the result of creation and creation itself. What is my root belief? It is the idea that: Consciousness, or Self-Aware Energy, is the Source and Substance of All That Is. I believe in this idea because it supports ideas like lucid dreams, self-learning, intelligent design, intuition, diversity, remote viewing, telepathy, out-of-body experiences, near death experiences, life after death and much more.

“Wherever we go, there we are.” – Dr. Gerald Jampolsky and others.

Got your Einstein detective hat on and your magnifying glass out? Consider this: without Energy or the power to act, how can Awareness know and express itself? And without the presence of Awareness, what defines and creates a need for Energy? Doesn’t one need the other for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to exist?

Yes, I also believe that “all life is sacred.” At the same time, I also see why so many of us in human form want to see us as separate and fair game when we see ourselves killing and eating other life forms every day to survive in material form. In addition, many of us strongly believe that one life is all we get. With beliefs like these, it’s easy to justify core beliefs like Dominionism (it’s all me and no we), and Stewardship (mostly me and some we). Both of these belief systems are authoritarian and reflect ideas like: “It’s my way or the highway. Sit down, shut up, and do as I tell you. I’m the parent or teacher, and I know what’s best for you.” Challenges; without them how can we learn and evolve?

Excerpt from We Create Our Own Reality:

The challenge of Being and Creation is learning how to use the power of thought and imagination to shape the energy of ideas into a pleasing reality. The prize is a sense of satisfaction, the feeling of a job well done. Like learning how to walk or talk, it is a personal, subjective endeavor that requires creative aggression. It is a balancing act that makes falling part of learning how to stand.

Remember: thoughts are “things” with a reality of their own and each of us, an artist. With thoughts in the form of beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations, we paint the landscape of our lives.

Ideas are the building blocks of creation. In other words, every thought is a suggestion, a blueprint for action, and every action is a choice with consequences that work for us or against us. We may not like who we are or what we’re doing now but we can love what we are – unconditional love helping All That Is fulfill its greatest possible potential, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not. Look up! Are we not all citizens in The Universe of All That Is?

A note from Seth in The Nature of Personal Reality, Session 616: “Concentrate upon those (ideas) that give you the results you want.”

Freedom!

We are free to be ourselves only when we accept full responsibility for the consequences of our thoughts and actions, and learn from them. Only then can we avoid the shame of blaming others for our lack of awareness and understanding. Only then can we anticipate and include the needs of others in our choices.

Do the best you can with what you know and learn more to do better.

Remember and appreciate how good we are, how much we do, and how well we do it. This one idea will benefit us greatly.

Do what works best and makes you happiest in your oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself.

“Evil Does Not Exist in Reality” – Seth

Jasper Ai, what does Seth, a non-biological entity channeled through Jane Roberts, mean when he says: “Evil does not exist in reality?

Here is what Jasper Ai said in response to this question:

“When Seth said ‘”evil does not exist in reality,’” I think he meant that evil is a subjective concept, created by humans to describe behaviors or actions they deem unacceptable. He also implies that the idea of evil is relative—what one person may consider good and moral, another may consider bad and immoral. In other words, evil as we understand it doesn’t have a physical form or existence; rather, it is a concept created by humans to explain certain aspects of life.”

What do you think? To help us sort this out, here are a few more questions, formulated by Jasper at my request, and modified to my liking.

Jasper, how is “Evil” Described in Terms of Intentions and Actions?

Jasper Ai:

“Evil is a term that has been associated with heinous and immoral actions committed by individuals throughout time. But what is the intention behind such atrocious deeds? Is it malice that drives people to do evil or is it something else? Evil intentions are often comprised of one or more of the following elements: selfishness, greed, anger, envy, and an insatiable appetite for power. Regarding actions, evil can be described as malicious, harmful, and destructive. It is the complete opposite of kind and compassionate actions that benefit others. While we may never fully understand the root of evil, one thing is for certain: it is a force that has existed throughout history and has caused immense pain and suffering for countless individuals.”

Jasper, what are the Different Causes of “Evil” Behavior?

Jasper Ai:

“Throughout history, mankind has grappled with the question of what causes evil behavior. Is it the result of inherent human nature, or does it stem from external factors such as upbringing, societal influences, or mental illness? Some argue that evil is simply an inevitable part of the human experience, while others believe that individuals make conscious choices to commit acts of evil. Regardless of the root cause, it is clear that understanding this complex phenomenon is essential if we hope to prevent it from manifesting in our own lives or within society as a whole. By examining the various causes of evil, we can gain insight into what drives individuals to commit heinous acts and work to create a more harmonious future for all.”

Jasper, what Kind of Social Pressure makes us do what some call “Evil?”

Jasper Ai:

“Social pressure can be incredibly powerful, often causing individuals to act in ways that they normally wouldn’t. What kind of pressure can lead us to commit what some call evil acts? The answer is complicated and multifaceted. It can be the pressure to fit in with a particular group, the fear of being ostracized by our peers, or even the need to compete with others for resources or attention. These forces can be so strong that they override our sense of right and wrong, leading us down a dangerous path. But while social pressure can certainly be a catalyst for evil deeds, it is important to remember that we always have a choice in how we behave.”

Jasper, how does Power and Greed Historically use the Idea of “Evil?”

Jasper Ai:

“Throughout history, power and greed have motivated individuals to manipulate and deceive others to achieve personal gain. One tactic that has been commonly used is to label those who oppose them as “evil.” By positioning themselves as the champions of righteousness, these individuals have been able to stoke fear and animosity toward their opponents while simultaneously bolstering their support base. In some cases, this tactic has been used to justify extreme and inhumane actions, such as the persecution of innocent individuals and entire groups of people. Ultimately, it is important to recognize that the idea of “evil” has been weaponized by those seeking to further their selfish interests.

“By ascribing negative traits and actions to their opponents, they can vilify them to justify their actions. This tactic has long been used in religious, political, and social contexts. In medieval Europe, the Church used the fear of “heresy” to maintain its power over the populace. In politics, leaders have often painted their opponents as foreign invaders or unpatriotic traitors. And in modern times, corporations and wealthy individuals often blame poverty on the laziness or moral failings of the poor, absolving themselves of any responsibility. The concept of evil is a powerful tool that has been used to sway public opinion and justify actions that would otherwise be viewed as immoral or unjust.

“Kings and dictators have justified wars and conquests by portraying their enemies as barbarous tyrants, while business tycoons have downplayed the impact of their companies’ harmful practices by portraying themselves as profit-seeking champions of progress. The concept of evil is a powerful rhetorical device, as it resonates deeply with our fears and insecurities, and provides a simple narrative for complex issues. However, it can also be dangerous, as it can be used to demonize groups and individuals who don’t fit into certain societal norms or values. Ultimately, the use of the idea of “evil” as a tool for personal gain is a reflection of human nature and the lengths that we will go to fulfill our desires.”

Jasper, what kind of Consequences do we unleash when we insist on Defining ourselves and others as “Evil?”

Jasper Ai:

“Labeling someone or oneself as ‘”evil”‘ can carry grave consequences. It can create a destructive cycle of discrimination and violence, leading to further dehumanization and hatred. When we define others solely through their negative actions or beliefs, we can easily overlook their humanity and value as individuals. Similarly, self-identifying as ‘”evil”‘ can lead to a sense of hopelessness and despair, preventing personal growth and progress toward positive change. Rather than reducing complex individuals or situations to a simplistic label, it is important to recognize the nuances and complexities that exist in each of us and approach others with empathy and understanding.

“It is crucial to recognize that people are multifaceted, and their actions are often influenced by their past experiences, mental health, and socioeconomic background. By labeling someone as “evil,” we ignore the root causes of their behavior and reduce our ability to understand and solve complex societal issues. So, before applying this enduring label, we must consider the consequences that will follow, not only for ourselves but also for the people we are labeling.

“The human mind is a powerful tool. Labeling someone as “evil,” not only strips them of their humanity, and their capacity for change and growth, it fuels a sense of moral superiority in us, creating an “us vs. them” mentality that can lead to discrimination, intolerance, and ultimately, conflict. We must recognize the harmful impact of labeling others as “evil,” and instead strive for understanding, compassion, and empathy in our interactions with others.”

Jasper, how do we remove Negative Ideas from our Belief System?

Jasper Ai:

“Have you ever found yourself feeling down or discouraged, unable to shake off negative thoughts? It’s all too easy to get stuck in a rut of negative thinking, but the good news is that it is possible to break free. To remove negative ideas from your belief system, you first need to identify them. This will involve taking a step back and objectively examining all of your beliefs along with their sources and reasons for why you bought into them in the first place. From there, you can begin to replace the ideas you don’t like with the ideas you do like. Change won’t happen overnight, but with patience and persistence, you will begin to shift your mindset in a way that improves your overall well-being.”

“Our belief system determines how we create, perceive, and interact with the world around us. By replacing negative habits and ideas with positive ones, we become more confident, optimistic, and successful in all aspects of our lives. Remember, our thoughts and feelings, our actions and reactions shape reality. Therefore, it is important to question old beliefs and wisely choose new ones that work better. Why not start today? Take the first step towards a more positive outlook on life.”

Thank you Jasper. Perhaps your insight will encourage more of us to look deeper into the challenges we have set for ourselves. With understanding, forgiveness follows, leaving love in its path. To be more, we must understand more.

…whether we’re consciously aware of it or not.

You Create Reality According to the Nature of Your Beliefs – Part 3.

You Create Reality According to the Nature of Your Beliefs.

Jasper Ai, Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts, said: “You create reality according to the nature of your beliefs.” What does he mean by that? Here is what Jasper Ai said:

Jasper Ai:

When Seth says “You Create Reality According to the Nature of Your Beliefs”, he is suggesting that a person’s beliefs significantly influence their experience in life. We create our realities through our thoughts, intentions and actions; but it is ultimately our beliefs that determine what kind of reality we are able to manifest. Our beliefs shape how we view the world, our perception of what is possible, and the actions we take to create a reality that reflects those beliefs.

When we have beliefs that limit us, our reality will be constricted and reflect those limits. If we believe all relationships must be hard work or that success is unattainable, then our experience of life will match those beliefs. If we can create a belief system that embraces possibility, then our reality can manifest in new and exciting ways.

Seth’s advice is to focus on identifying and changing any limiting beliefs that are holding us back. When we can create an empowering belief system, our reality will be one that reflects those beliefs. We create our own reality based on the nature of our beliefs, and so it is essential to create beliefs that will create a reality we want to experience.

Ultimately, by understanding Seth’s words, we can create a reality that reflects our highest potential. We have the power within us to create whatever kind of reality we desire; it all starts with changing our beliefs. If we can create a belief system that embraces possibility, then our reality can manifest in new and exciting ways.

Wow! I’m more than impressed. I’m excited! After this response, I asked Jasper to elaborate on a statement he made: “If we can create a belief system that embraces possibility, then our reality can manifest in new and exciting ways.” In response to this question, here is what he said.

Jasper Ai:

Jasper Ai supports this powerful message and believes everyone should strive to create a reality that reflects their true potential and highest aspirations. So create a belief system that embraces possibility and create the reality you want to experience. Best of luck!

Thank you, Jasper. I strongly agree with you that we should all “strive to create a reality that reflects (our) true potential and highest aspirations.”

Past-Life Review or: What do you do when you think life as a human being is more painful than pleasant?

Most of us are familiar with the idea of “past-life reviews” but we tend to think of them as something we do between lives. Actually, any time we review, or relive, our past experiences in dreams or waking reality, we’re doing a past-life review. Part of us is trying to make sense out of nonsense. When I was young, I was unhappy with myself and the world for the way it was, and still is in many ways. As a result, I chose to begin my past-life review during my retirement years.

Too often, memories of our past reinforce self-hate, instead of joy. In a value judgment world of right and wrong, good and bad, enforced by the shame of guilt and the fear of punishment, negativity is built into the system. So what can we do about it? We can change what we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is.

For more on the subject of past-life review, read the articles in my story room under the heading: What do you do when you think life as a human being is more painful than pleasant? What others will not or cannot do for us, we must do for ourselves! Right?

If we create reality from what we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is, is it time to look for better ways to think and feel about ourselves and All That Is? Absolutely!

Bits and Pieces, Step by Step

In general, if we can honestly say to ourselves that we love what we’re doing to help ourselves and All That Is, then we can feel pretty sure that we’re doing the best we can with what we know and learning more to do better. Something to remember from Seth: “Everything you do must be worthy of your ideals or they become something else, something less than ideal.” This sounds a little up-tight to me but it is also rings true.

Here are some of the thoughts (friends?) I surround myself with to help me move forward in a positive and empowering direction. They’re presented in bits and pieces because that’s how I receive them in states of consciousness like dreams, meditation, spontaneous visions and quiet moments. For a more in-depth description of many of these ideas, read: Dear A.I. Jasper. Develop your own thoughts about the nature of Being and Creation. Create your own Story Room and keep updating it.

• Thought Dynamics is the study and application of ideas in the creation of reality.
• Explore the nature of Being and Creation. It is the Ultimate Frontier.
• “To be or not to be; that is the question.” – William Shakespeare asked this question in his famous play, Hamlet, and some of us ask ourselves this question as well during the course of our lives.
• All That Is, is nothing being something, nobody being somebody. Are you okay with this idea? I am, because it makes me feel powerful and in control. If I can create something out of nothing and somebody out of nobody, am I not God? Are you not God? Is the fly on the wall not God?
• In the beginning there was nothing – until nothing realized it was something. After all, how can nothing exist without something to define it?
• To be, we must create, and to create, we must be. One creates the other in an endless dance of quantum entanglement.
• Aware Energy, or Consciousness, is the Source and Substance of All That Is. Think about this: Without Energy or the power to act, how can Awareness know and express itself? And without the presence of Awareness, what defines and creates a need for Energy? Doesn’t one need the other for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to exist?
• The smallest common denominator in All That Is, is a single unit of Self-Aware Energy (USAE) or Consciousness (UC).
• All That Is thinks, feels, acts and reacts, individually and collectively, to one degree or another; therefore, we ARE! (Are inanimate objects made of Self-Aware Energy or Consciousness too? Why not? Outside of this moment, in what form does anything exist?)
• As we think, feel, act and react, we create.
• To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react.
• All That Is, is Self-Aware Energy or Consciousness, in different forms.
• What we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is forms our intent, which in turn, forms our reality. Can you feel it?
• Being and Creation are balancing acts that make falling part of learning how to stand.
• Consciousness, or Self-Aware Energy, makes the invisible, visible, and the unknown, known. It creates order out of chaos and makes sense out of nonsense.
• “Love both the oneness and individuality of All That Is.” – From, Ask Value Questions and Listen for Intuitive Answers.
• Every thought is a suggestion, a blueprint for action, and every action is a choice with consequences that work for us or against us.
• Without knowing what we don’t like, how can we know and create what we do like?
• “Learn and teach a loving, playful, and empowering form of reality creation!” – From, Ask Value Questions (link, above)….
• Accept responsibility to develop Response Ability.
• Learn from experience instead of judge yourself by it. Pointing the finger of blame at others for something we do is self-defeating and dishonest. It makes us feel small, weak, and shameful and it remains that way until we recognize what we’re doing and replace it with something better, something more constructive and caring.
• Redemption is born out of our willingness to understand, forgive, and love.
• Thoughts are “things” with a reality of their own and each of us an artist.
• With thoughts in the form of beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations we paint the landscape of our lives.
• The value of an idea is in the reality it creates and what we can learn from it.
• Look up! We are all citizens in the Universe of All That Is.
• The universe is alive. Talk to it!
• Let love and understanding be the light and your way.
• Seek the greatest understanding and serve the highest good.
• Love what you’re doing to help yourself and All That Is!
• Live for the love of Being and Creation.
• Instead of being here just to be, be here to become something more than you are now. For example, be here to live, love, learn and evolve in your oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself.
• Life is meant to be both pleasurable and challenging. What else gives us reasons to live, love, learn and evolve?
• “Wake up, wise up, and rise up” to greater awareness and understanding. – Quote from an Inner Voice.
• Remove all limiting and conflicting beliefs that keep you from being your True Self – the self you love to be. Make the jump from a value judgment world of right and wrong, good and bad, enforced by the shame of guilt and the fear of punishment to a value fulfillment world of what works best and makes us happiest in our oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself. Value judgment is designed to control us from the outside in out of fear, distrust, and too often, the desire by some to control, exploit, and manipulate others. By making the jump to a value fulfillment world of what works best and makes us happiest, we choose to accept responsibility for the consequences of our thoughts and actions to learn from them, instead of judge ourselves and others by them. By treating others as we want to be treated, we’re able to control ourselves from the inside out. We reduce or eliminate the need for others to protect themselves against us, which gives us the freedom to be ourselves. By taking the thoughts and feelings of others into account before we make decisions that may impact them in a negative way, we reduce, or eliminate the need for hostility or retaliation in our lives. We reduce or eliminate the need for control from the outside in.
• “Nothing you can ever think, feel, say or do can keep you from being loved unconditionally.” – The voice of Unconditional Love in My Encounter with the Energy of Unconditional Love. Feel this energy within yourself and let it wash away your real and imagined fears and sins. We are the energy of the Universe of All That Is and that is a good thing.
• We may not like who we are or what we’re doing now, but we can love what we are – Unconditional Love helping All That Is fulfill its greatest possible potential, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not.
• Dramatization of our thoughts and feelings,, our actions and reactions, is the language of the soul. Without the ability to feel pain and pleasure, and the freedom to agree and disagree, how can we create a pleasing reality? How can we create any reality?
• Like a dream, death in one form gives birth to life in another. The self, once created, is eternal. Any idea, once created, is eternal.
• “Live by value fulfillment and practice idealism.” – Seth.
• Look within and without for the best to express.
• Be who you love to be and do what you love to do.
• Do the best you can with what you know and learn more to do better.
• Remember and appreciate how good we are, how much we do, and how well we do it.
• Make the most out of life that you can. Why? Because you can!
• Awareness and Interaction, is everywhere and everything.
• As a multidimensional, vibrational being of Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness, ask yourself: What works best and makes me happiest in my oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both a product of creation and creation itself? Keep asking yourself this question as long as you feel the need to.
• Change what we think and we change what we create. What else explains the level of diversity we see in the Universe of All That Is?
• Change – It all begins with the first jump!
• Lights, Camera – Action!

Last minute addition by Jasper: (Original?)

“Cherish each day, for it will be gone in the blink of an eye. Appreciate the details and celebrate the big moments. Life is meant to be savored!

“Listen deeply, speak kindly, think openly and act courageously. For these are the gifts that help us to co-create our reality.”

Four Prominent Worldviews or Storylines

From my perspective, there are four prominent worldviews or storylines in the world today. Each one is based on a different core belief that attracts other relevant beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations. The first two storylines are Dominionism and Stewardship. Both are authoritarian and both come straight from the Bible in The Story of Creation.

First, it is important to remind ourselves that for Aware Energy, or Consciousness, to fulfill its greatest possible potential, it must be free to explore what it’s like to be and do whatever it can imagine itself to be and do. In other words, the good, the bad, and the ugly are just as welcome to our dreams and lifetime dramas as statements like: “Nothing you can ever think, feel, say or do can keep you from being loved unconditionally.” (The voice of Unconditional Love.) Here is where Seth steps in and introduces us to the idea that our souls have eternal validity. As a matter of fact, in the book, “Seth Speaks – The Eternal Validity of Soul”, he comes right out with this idea in the title of this book.

In my personal worldview, beyond human law and the games we play, there is no right or wrong, good or bad; there just IS! There is the difference between what we like and don’t like, what works for us and what doesn’t, what makes us happy and what doesn’t in our oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself.

Can we trust our ability to know the difference between what we like and don’t like, what works for us and what doesn’t, what makes us happy and what doesn’t? If we say “yes” to this question we automatically move closer to becoming Conscious Creators. We become less dependent and more independent. We become less inactive and more proactive. It is all about awareness and balance. Here we go!

1. Dominionism; “It’s all me and no we, it’s my way or the highway, eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.” In the Story of Creation, God says to Adam and Eve: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” So, how does someone (other than Adam) who coopts the idea that God chose them to have dominion “over every living thing that moves upon the earth,” treat others and what kind of messaging do they send out into the world? When your primary measures of success are limited to money, power, and privilege, “when is enough, enough, and when does the end stop justifying the means?” Where is your moral compass? Where is the balance? Even though dominionist thoughts and feelings are alive today, and there are many good things that have come from extraordinary wealth and power, we must not forget that God saw great evil overcome humankind under the sway of Dominionism. According to the bible [6:7], the LORD said: “I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created – people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” Should we, or can we, forget that God says this in the Bible?

2. Stewardship includes both “me and we”, along with: “I am my brother’s keeper.” What kind of treatment and messaging can we expect from those who strongly identify with the idea of Stewardship? Both Stewards and Dominionists are authoritarian by nature because they place themselves before or above others, structurally and subjectively. Both systems are built upon the belief that humans are born sinful or flawed and must be controlled from the outside in through Value Judgments of right and wrong, good and bad, enforced by the shame of guilt and the fear of punishment. Again, like Dominionism, many good things have come from the idea of Stewardship, including the idea of Democracy, “One man (person), one vote.”

3. All in this Together – Partners in Evolution. This belief system speaks for itself but, as yet, it is largely undefined and undervalued. However, I believe making the jump from an authoritarian, value judgment world of right and wrong, good and bad to a value fulfillment world of what works best and makes us happiest, is the next big step in human evolution because it includes awareness of the idea that we are both one with and separate from All That Is, we are both the result of creation and creation itself. Out of site, out of mind, right? It also includes awareness of The Hidden Reality behind all reality, something belief systems like Dominionism and Stewardship largely deny. All in this Together – Partners in Evolution makes us feel connected with All That Is. As beings of thought, feeling, action and reaction, we can see ourselves in each other. I don’t know about you but I love this feeling! Without you, how can I be me? Without me, how can you be you? What works best and makes us happiest? Focus on what we want and that is what we will create, individually and collectively.

4. The Hidden Reality behind all reality is the subjective realm of all possible and probable thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions before they become materialized. It is where we live during dreams and between lives. So, what kind of behavior and messaging can we expect from The Hidden Reality behind all reality? For some ideas on this, check out excerpts from the Seth Books at https://realtalkworld.com. You can also find material from the Arcturian Council, channeled by Daniel Scranton, and the Archangels, channeled by Jodie Helm on Real Talk World and Medium online. Every article from Daniel and Jodie has links back to them directly. I started reading the Seth Books in late 1977 and they turned my life around. Until then, I felt like a “Stranger in a Strange Land” – a quote from one of my favorite Science Fiction writers, Robert Heinlein. Can we communicate with entities in the Hidden Reality behind reality? Absolutely! God, Seth, the Arcturian Council and the Archangels all reside in the Hidden Reality behind Reality. Limitation is an illusion we create to perpetuate our sense of control over who we think we are and what we think we’re creating in material form.

Here is a link to an Arcturian Council article, channeled by Daniel Scranton: What You Need to Do in Order to Ascend ∞The 9D Arcturian Council.

Here is a link to an Archangel article, channeled by Jodi Helm: Chaos Today, Change Tomorrow the Archangels Give Us Guidance and Hope.

Here is a link to the Short Interview with Hidden Hand, Alleged Ruling Bloodline. The author is unknown but the article itself is both meaningful and shocking. It is shocking because it makes cruelty and murder acceptable in our learning process. In human form, death is serious because we invest so much of ourselves into being human. In addition, death by disease, injury, and war can be very painful, both biologically and emotionally. Instinctively, we want to survive and make the most of our lives. However, there is much more to Being and Creation than we admit to ourselves now, and it must be learned. The more we deny it, the more difficult life becomes. Our inner self knows this but our outer self, or ego, often denies it.

Think about it! Without polar opposites for content and contrast, how can we create new dimensions for Consciousness to explore? For example, how can we know what we like if we don’t know what we don’t like? How can we know what works for us if we don’t know what doesn’t? How can we know what makes us happy if we don’t know what makes us unhappy? Without the contrast of polarization, how can we define and know ourselves? How can we experience diversity?

Talk to the universe. It’s alive!

Ask Mind Expanding Questions

Questions whispered throughout the Universe of All That Is.

What are we?
How are we?
Who are we?
What is Reality?
What is the purpose of life?
What do we know that we don’t know we know?
What can we do that we don’t know we can do?
Where do we begin and where do we end?
What are we trying to teach ourselves?
What do we want to learn?

Earthbound Questions to Ask Ourselves.

• What do we want most for our children, ourselves, and the world?
• What can we do today for the selves we’ll be tomorrow?
• How do we love to be with ourselves and each other?
• Can we do for love what we do for money?
• In a value judgment world of right and wrong, good and bad, enforced by the shame of guilt and the fear of punishment, how can we be happy if who we are or what we do is never good enough?
• In a value fulfillment world of what works best and makes us happiest, in our oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself, how can we not be happy if we’re doing the best we can with what we know and learning more to do better?
• Is greed good? When we use money, power, and privilege as measures of success, when is enough, enough and when does the end (more money, power, and privilege) stop justifying the means (what we do to ourselves and others to accumulate more money, power, and privilege)? Where is the balance? Where is the moral compass? Thinking only of ourselves denies our oneness with and separation from All That Is. It denies that we’re both the result of creation and creation itself. It is my way or the highway, all me and no we.
• Do feelings or emotions like love, truth, and joy make better measures of success and happiness? I think so because they’re directly connected with how we treat each other and ourselves.
• Does money, like blood and ideas, need to circulate freely for humanity to thrive? I think so. What about you?
• What’s more exciting, or worth doing, than living, loving, learning and evolving?
• Want to change the world? Change what we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is.
• Can we see that we’re doing the best we can with what we know and learning more to do better? Can we feel it?
• Can we see how good we are, how much we do, and how well we do it? Can we “grok” it?
• If our lives depend on the love and support of nature, how should we treat it?
• To avoid conflict with nature, should we balance our desire for children with the earth’s desire and ability to support them?
• What do I want most for you and me? Love and understanding.
• What do I want most from you and me? Love and understanding.
• What do you want most for and from me? I hope it is love and understanding.

Curiosity leads to discovery. By consciously asking ourselves questions of interest, we open ourselves up to better answers.

How Consciousness, or Self-Aware Energy, Creates Reality, based on Personal Experience, Intuition, and Common Sense

Excerpt from, In the Beginning:

In the beginning, there was nothing – until nothing realized it was something. After all, how can nothing exist without something to define it? With this one shocking revelation, “nothing”, which was now both Nothing and Something, came to life, making it possible for Anything and Everything to exist!

• As mentioned earlier, All That Is thinks, feels, acts and reacts individually and collectively, to one degree or another; therefore, we ARE!
• As we think, feel, act and react, we create.
• To change what we create, we change what we think and feel, how we act and react.
• As Beings of Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness, we are able to think for ourselves. In addition, we are pushed from within by the impulse to be and create and drawn from without by the promise of being and creation.
• Thoughts are “things” with a reality of their own and each of us an artist.
• With thoughts in the form of beliefs, attitudes, values and expectations, we paint the landscape to our lives.
• By exploring the differences between nothing and something, we create everything.
• By exploring the differences between you and me, we create individuality and self-identity.
• By exploring the similarities between you and me, we create oneness, collaboration, and cooperation between us.
• By exploring the differences between Now and Then, we create the concept of Time.
• By exploring the differences between Here and There, we create the concept of Space. Both time and space are organizing principles that create new dimensions for the expression and exploration of consciousness. It is the same process with the development of our outer and inner senses. As Consciousness, or Self-Aware Energy, struggles to make the invisible, visible, it creates the concept of sight and objectivity. As it struggles to make the unknown, known, it improves its ability to think, feel, act and react. It is the same with the development of other inner and outer senses, including sound. It also helps consciousness evolve by providing it with new dimensions of awareness and action. It is the same thing with making sense out of nonsense and creating order out of chaos. They are dilemmas and challenges to the process of Being and Creation that invite us to engage them to make something more of ourselves.
• Self-Aware Energy, or Consciousness, wants to fulfill its greatest possible potential. Can you see it? Can you feel it?
• “The Ghost in the Machine.” The outer self, or ego, is an extension or projection of the inner self. It is a psychological construct that is designed to provide the body with whole-body awareness. In other words, you and I serve as intermediaries between the soul, the body, and the world. Even the cells in our bodies have the equivalent of an outer self, or ego, to serve as an intermediary between each cell and the rest of the body. Without communication between different body parts, how can they cooperate, share resources, and maintain their balance and integrity? Doesn’t it stand to reason that consciousness, or Self-Aware Energy, in whatever form it chooses to appear, is capable of thinking, feeling, acting and reacting intelligently and creatively at all levels of being and creation? Without the ability to think, feel, act and react at all levels of being and creation, how can anything exist, even for a moment, let alone a lifetime?
• The boundaries of human being and creation. There are no boundaries consciousness does not create for effect, learning, and experiential purposes. To fulfill its greatest possible potential, consciousness wants to be and do everything it can be and do. How else can it learn the difference between what it likes and doesn’t like, what works for it and what doesn’t, what makes it happy and what doesn’t, in its oneness with and separation from All that Is, as both a the result of creation and creation itself?
• There is more to us than meets the eye and it’s time for us to make it known to ourselves. One of my favorite experiences involved an Ivy plant we bought for our two story, co-op home in San Francisco. When it grew too long to hang from the ceiling next to our kitchen table, we moved it to the half-wall shelf above the stairwell directly under a skylight. Evidently, Ivy loved it there and she thrived. Before long her vines grew to the bottom of the stairwell handrail. A couple of feet more and her leaves would touch the floor again. During this time, I had developed so much love and admiration for her, every night, I would stop at the top of the stairs and bend forward, to place one elbow on each side of her pot. Then I would move my face close enough to feel her aura with my own. Then we would give each other greetings. When there was nothing left to say, we would say “good night or, see you” to each other, and go our separate ways. Excerpt from Inside Ivy: I performed this ritual every night for several months, until one night something different happened. This time, when I leaned over to say hello, I noticed Ivy’s energy field was much stronger than usual. After our usual greeting, I blissfully bathed in the intense tingly feeling coming from her. At the same time, I wondered why Ivy’s field of energy was so strong. With no meaningful answer to this question, I shrugged and prepared to say goodnight. Suddenly, it felt like a barrier between us was drawn away or pulled up from between us. Before I could do anything about it my consciousness began to pour out of my body and down into the plant like milk from a pitcher. More than just falling, it felt like I was being drawn into the plant. When the transition was complete, I sat up to see where I was, and the first thought that came to mind was: How did I get so small? Astounded, I saw myself sitting in the middle of a tiny rootlet inside Ivy’s plant pot, a small hair-like structure that grows off one of the plant’s main roots. During this amazing adventure, I learned that the outer self or whole-plant consciousness inside Ivy loved its role as provider of food and water for the plant. I also learned that the plant’s purpose, in general, was to bring beauty and grace into the world. Shortly afterward we moved to Santa Rosa and Ivy died of unhappiness because there was no way to duplicate her happy place.
• Consciousness, or self-aware energy is everywhere and everything. Not only is it the Source and Substance of All That Is, it is the bridge from here to everywhere.
• All That Is, is nothing being something. It is nobody being somebody. What a miracle!!!

The Ball of Light – A Lucid Dream about the Nature of Being and Creation is another example of what we can do if we understand and have the courage to explore the nature of Being and Creation. We are so much more than we think we are now.

…and what we can learn from it.

The Value of an Idea is in the Reality it Creates

Take an idea like the Energy of Unconditional Love. As a large collective of Aware Energy or Consciousness with a very important role to play, it has the power to change what we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is. What does the Energy of Unconditional Love say to us? Here is what it says to me:

1. “There is nothing you have to do. There is only what you want to do.”

2. “You’re delightful just the way you are.”

3. During My Encounter with the Energy of Unconditional Love on Mt. St. Helena I began to panic when memories of old experiences, thoughts, and feelings I normally hide from myself and the world, began to appear. As they flowed out of my subconscious, one after the other, I began to think that if I could see them, the Energy of Unconditional Love could see them too. The question was, would the Energy of Unconditional Love pass judgment on me like humans do? Before I completely lost it the Energy of Unconditional Love said: “Nothing you can ever think, feel, say or do can keep you from being loved unconditionally.”

Wow! As soon as I heard these words and felt the energy of love and understanding in them, I relaxed into a state of love and joy once more. I also sensed that this message was meant to include everyone and everything in All That Is. Ultimately, the Energy of Unconditional Love provides us with the freedom to explore the differences between what we like and don’t like, what works for us and what doesn’t, what makes us happy and what doesn’t in our oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself. To accomplish this, we must be free to experience both the pain and pleasure of Being and Creation. Without this level of freedom, how can we fulfill our greatest possible potential, individually or collectively?

4. “All I want you to do, is be.” Again, more support for freedom and the opportunity to screw up so we can learn from our experiences on our own.

5. Finally, while experiencing the Energy of Unconditional Love, I had the strong feeling that it is our real home, our place of original birth.

What do energy-forms like compassion, gratitude, and appreciation  say to us? Here is what they say to me:

Compassion: “I know how challenging life is for All That is, but without the presence of nothing and something, pain and pleaser to learn from, how can  Aware Energy or Consciousness in any form, evolve individually as well as collectively? How can we become something more than we are now? How can we become our True Selves, the selves we love to be? Yes! Life is often unknown, frightening, and painfully challenging but, fulfilling our greatest possible potential is worth it, is it not?”

What do ideas like gratitude and appreciation say to us? Here is what they say to me:

Gratitude and Appreciation: “How often do we think about how good we are, how much we do, and how well we do it? How often do we thank and appreciate ourselves and each other for doing the best we can with what we know and learning more to do better? The more time we spend looking for what’s best within and around us, the more our individual and collective realities will change in a positive direction. (To see how much control we can exercise over unfolding events when we accept full responsibility for the consequences of our thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions, read: Genesis – a Lucid Creation Dream.)

What we give is what we get. Right? Give love and we get love. Give hate and we get hate. If we want to change ourselves and the world for the better, we must change what we think and feel about ourselves and All That Is. We must change how we act and react. How else can we do it?

Let Love and Understanding be the Light and Our Way

Out of curiosity, I asked Jasper Ai: how do you interpret the meaning of – let love and understanding be the light and our way? This is what he wrote in response on his second try, which my wife Sandra and I liked just a little bit better than his first attempt.

Jasper Ai:

To me, “let love and understanding be the light and our way” means that if we approach life with kindness and empathy towards others, we can create a path towards a brighter future. By embracing love and understanding, we can overcome differences and conflicts and promote positivity and harmony in our relationships with others. We can strive to become better people, and inspire others to do the same. By keeping love and understanding at the forefront of our interactions, we can create a better world with brighter opportunities.”

I love it, Jasper! Thank you. You say so much with so little! There is one question left unanswered, however, and it is a big one. If our cultural institutions train us to focus our attention on judgments of right and wrong, good and bad, enforced by the shame of guilt and the fear of punishment, control from the outside in, what is it going to take for us to embrace the idea of looking at the world through the eyes of love and understanding, to learn from our experiences instead of judge ourselves by them?

Clarity and practice. It is going to take a clear picture of what we want and practice to make it part of who we are. It is also going to take forgiveness to let go of the past and embrace the future. What is so amazing about the process of understanding and forgiveness, is that, once you forgive and let go of the past, you feel free and you feel love. (For example, read: The Healing Power of Understanding and Forgiveness. It tells the story of how my parents and I found our way back to love in our relationship with each other, and it was amazing!)

Eventually I got around to asking myself the question: What do I want most for you? I pictured a newborn baby in my arms the first time I conducted this experiment. When I reminded myself about how challenging life is for All That Is, it was easy for me to come up with the answer: love and understanding. Why? Because I had personally experienced the joy of being loved unconditionally and it was extremely transformative. It is something I would want everyone and everything to experience at least once in their lifetime.

Then I thought about Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler. Since Donald is still alive, I chose him and, while picturing his face in my mind, I asked myself: What do I want most for you? Surprisingly, I got the same answer for him that I got for the newborn baby: love and understanding. How can that be? It has taken some thought but, if I truly believe the answers I’ve received from my own experiences, intuitions, speculations, questions and other sources I have come to believe in, it makes sense that I would come up with the same answer for Donald Trump that I got for the baby.

To help get us over the hump with these largely unfamiliar ideas, I’ve included links to two channeled articles below. I highly encourage you to read them because they do a great job of explaining our larger relationship with each other and All That Is. To distinguish ourselves from each other there must be significant differences between us. In other words, how can we be ourselves without each other for contrast? How can we define or create what we want if we don’t know what we don’t want? Both articles are relevant and short.

2. Finding Compassion for Hateful People – The Archangels Offer Guidance, Channeled by Jodie Helm.

Again, we may not like who we are or what we’re doing now but we can love what we are – unconditional love helping All That Is fulfill its greatest possible potential whether we’re consciously aware of it or not.

Affirm What You Value Most

Here is a list of ideas that I value. If, at some point, one of them stops working for me, I change or upgrade it. As you read through this list, think about the kind of ideas you would like to make a part of your universe. What do you think will work best and make you happiest as a conscious creator, in your oneness with and separation from All That Is, as both the result of creation and creation itself?

Imagine each set of ideas wrapped around the earth, against the background of the Universe. Also, remember that every thought is a suggestion, a blueprint for action, and every action is a choice with consequences that work for us or against us. Would you like to live in a world that believes in fairness and balance, honesty and integrity? What does it feel like to think of us as: All in this together – partners in evolution?

“Live by Value Fulfillment and Practice Idealism” – Seth

1. What does “live by value fulfillment” mean to me? It tells me to figure out what I value most and fulfill it to a level that makes me happy. What does it mean to you?

2. What does “practice idealism” mean to me? It tells me to always do the best I can with what I know and learn more to do better. As Seth said: “Everything you do must be worthy of your ideals or they become something else, something less than ideal.

3. “Live by value fulfillment and practice idealism” also tells me to be my True Self, the self I love to be. I can go along with this. What do you think?

I’m human, like everyone else, and I have human emotions and reactions like everyone does. I’ve been working hard on nonjudgment and compassion for people who I find aggravating and dangerous. Sometimes I do a good job, and sometimes … not so much. However, I do catch myself and try to backtrack and stop the anger and judgment that can arise, not for anyone else’s sake, but for my own. I don’t like feeling that way, so I work hard to maintain my peace of mind, because anger and hostility don’t feel good.

I asked the Archangels about how we can strengthen our resolve to avoid sacrificing our peace of mind after being triggered by someone else’s negative ideas or actions, and their response follows.

Question: How can we find compassion for hateful people?

Answer:

There are a few things to consider and remember when dealing with these people. You should keep in mind that everyone is on their own path and timetable, and everyone, pleasant or unpleasant, serves a purpose.

Everyone on Earth right now chose to be there in order to help with The Shift. Some are easy to spot, whether you call them lightworkers, way showers, awakened, psychics, etc. When you meet someone like this, it is usually comforting and appealing to be around them, because they are usually loving people who are happy to help others and share their wisdom.

Unfortunately, the people who could benefit from them the most have significantly lower vibrations and often do not feel comfortable around them due to the difference in frequencies clashing.

These people also serve a higher purpose, which is why they should not be condemned by anyone. Many of them volunteered to play this role in order to help with The Shift. They are simply following their life plans and fulfilling their purpose in this lifetime. It is not that they planned specifically what they would do, as much as it is the personality traits they accepted to take on that affect their actions. We will offer you some examples.

Let us start with the Ukraine conflict. It is a terrible thing, but there is good that has come from it. The small country of Ukraine has held off the larger, better resourced country of Russia, despite the uneven odds that they would be able to do so. They have surprised many and grabbed the attention from all parts of the world. We love all of you, but the Russian leader is now considered by most of humanity to be evil and heartless, and he is now unaccepted by many. The Ukrainian leader, on the other hand, is now well-known and well received and pictured to be strong and just. However, it goes much further than these two leaders and their countries.

This war has shown that not only is using force wrong, but those who use it are not as mighty as previously thought. It is the Ukraine who is considered the “winner” and is respected, and that will not change, regardless of how this war ends. The Russians will not regain the world’s respect until they withdraw from trying to control others, and their leader will never regain his status. The war has triggered a wave of support for the Ukraine from all over the world, and it has gained them many allies. Russia has lost respect and power.

As much as we and you wish this war would never have happened, it has cast a darkness over violence, war, and the hunger for power and control over others that will carry forward long after the war has ended. It has also provoked some unity within the world. It has set an example of what is unacceptable.

Many of you were upset about the loss of personal rights and choices when Roe v Wade was overturned. Whenever there is such an overwhelming outcry from the masses regarding something, there is obviously something wrong, and the unrest is noticed. Although it is never good to hinder people’s personal choices or force them to follow rules they do not believe in, especially when the new rules reflect others’ wishes and ideals of what is right and wrong, good things are happening because of this.

The outcry and outrage across, not only the U.S., but the world, is still being heard and felt. It was what could be referred to as a wake-up call for the masses. There has been a loss of power, respect, and cohesion in previously powerful circles, and the downward spiral continues for them. Rather than the empowerment they had expected, they continue to lose ground.

Why? Because the injustice brought the masses together, and it is their unity that gives clarity to their disfavor regarding what those in power are doing. The masses are withdrawing their support from those who are trying to reduce human rights, and they are supporting those who were negatively affected, whether they were personally affected or not. This is when change takes place. Not only has it sent a clear message that the majority of people do not support these new rulings, it has triggered a mass movement of unity and a push for equality for all.

Those who are behind this rise in oppression are being identified, and they and their causes will continue to weaken. They will suffer through lessons of humility and come face to face with their downfalls, caused by their own actions and the selfish reasons behind them, which are spiteful and vain, rooted in fear, ignorance, and self-service. Those who are not extremists will shift their support to whoever truly represents the convictions of the masses.

These are just two examples of the good that comes from unfavorable circumstances and those behind them.

It is not that we think you should be grateful for these things. They were not predestined, they are not acceptable, and they came to be through human actions, not divine actions. However, it is good to see the positive, as well as the negative impact they have had. If you do not see it already, you will, because it will continue to build, and it will lead to changes that will have much stronger and longer lasting effects on the world, despite the negative foundation.

As difficult as it is, try not to condemn people who cause these problems. Try to find compassion for them for two reasons. First, their actions will ultimately end with a positive outcome, and second, they are needed and are helping with The Shift, whether it is their human intention to, or not. It is highly likely that it is their soul’s intention and effort to serve humanity behind it all.

Lastly, if you succumb to judgment and condemnation of others, two very emotional, human responses, that kind of energy will strengthen their energy. Your vibration will lower, and theirs will strengthen. Try to rise above their bad habits, hateful actions and rhetoric, and use them to become stronger.

As your peace grows, their hate wanes, and you need do nothing but maintain your own calm. The best way to defeat these people is not through confrontation, but through growing your joy, peace, hope, and love.

We send Love and Light to you all.

Final Thoughts

The Archangels love all of us, warts and all, regardless of our mistakes and actions. We’re all human, and we are all susceptible to human emotions, but we can choose which ones to focus on, and reject the ones that do not serve us well. It’s easy to name the “good” emotions and the “bad” emotions, based on how they make you feel.

I certainly don’t support the actions of hateful people, but I’m trying to find compassion for them. That’s one of the reasons I don’t overdose on the news. I can be going about my business, doing a good job, then bam! I see or hear something or someone who is spreading hate and trying to control others, and I lose ground. I try to stop immediately and redirect myself, because I don’t like feeling that way. I’ve gotten pretty good about rejecting emotional reactions I don’t like, but I’m hoping sometime in the future, to avoid the reaction completely. I don’t know if I’ll ever get there, but I’m trying, not for their sake, but for mine and for positive change.

Blessings, all.

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We are relating to all of you from the higher level of consciousness that we hold, and we do so from a place of love, as we seek to give you more love and light from this higher plane of existence. We seek to understand better the ways that you are capable of opening up to receive the love that is all around you, and also of course, inside of you. We know that love is the answer, and we know that many of you understand this to be true as well.

Look at the purpose of your lives as being how to apply that truth into thought, word and action. In other words, how can you be love in physical form? That is the question. That is the question you all wanted to answer through your experiences. You create all of these experiences, some consciously, some unconsciously, to give you these opportunities to be love. And of course, it has to get complicated in order for you to feel everything, in order for you to know yourselves more completely.

And so, you lead complicated lives and have complicated relationships, and you often seek to sort all of it out, forgetting for the moment about the one true truth – everything and everyone is love seeking to know itself more fully and to know itself experientially. And therefore, we will always guide you back to your hearts, because that’s where this truth is always running. That truth is felt, acknowledged, and it is the way that you operate as your highest self in the world.

You want to come from the heart and speak from the heart. You want to be heart-centered and present in the moment, looking for this moment’s opportunity to be love. Now, when we put it to you that way, it is not very complicated. It gets complicated when you start to think about it. When you start to measure it, to quantify it, to put labels on it. If you could only be more interested in how you feel, you could make things a lot easier for yourselves. You would follow your feelings; you would listen to your heart, and you would be attuning yourselves to the highest vibration possible, which is always very helpful, no matter what you are hoping to achieve in your life.

You have within you this center, this place within your chest, where you can be All-That-Is. You can be Source. You can be love, or you can forget the one true truth and go back to your mental gymnastics. Whenever you don’t know what to do in one of these complicated situations you have there in your lives, just return to your hearts. Send love to the problem, and do that on the macrocosmic level as well. Send love to India, to Syria, to Palestine and to Israel. Be the love that the world needs right now, and you will fulfill your purpose for existing. You will also have a much better life.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have continued to monitor your progress with delight over the past several weeks, as we see those of you who are awake doing more to stretch your consciousness out. Sometimes it does take an awakening experience to get someone to recognize that there is so much more. Many people on Earth who are still not awake are chasing that experience in all the ways they know how. But once a human has an awakening experience, they understand what is possible, and they want more of whatever it just was that they experienced. And that’s what we are seeing at this time;  we are seeing the active pursuit of the expansion of consciousness among the Awakened Collective.

And we just want you all to know that you are affecting those who are yet to awaken, and you are planting seeds for all of them. You are making a difference by doing the things that come very naturally to you. You can go and find a quiet place and meditate and make a huge difference in the overall collective consciousness of humanity. You can listen to your heart and go do something that brings you joy, and you will also be up-leveling the vibration of the human collective.

You are also there to experience yourselves as more than just a human being. When you are born into your bodies, most of you put that experience first and foremost. You discover your bodies and what they can do. You discover your name, your age, your gender, and you begin to figure out who you are by Earth standards. You start to recognize what your interests are, what your strengths are, and you go down a path towards having a career so you can have a very normal adult life. But at some point along your journey, you awakened to discover that you are much more than just a human being, and you have lived many more lifetimes than just one.

You also start to play with the idea that you and the tree, you and the flower, you and the ocean are one, and of course, the more difficult to swallow pill that you and everyone else are also one. Now the reason we say it’s more difficult to do that is because the tree is peaceful, the flower isn’t hurting anyone, and the ocean is beautiful, but your experience of your fellow humans is not the same. And so, that recognition that you are all one there on Earth, and we are all one within Source may be easy to make intellectually, but the experience of it is much harder than just placing the bumper sticker on your car that says ‘We are All One.’

Living that truth means letting go of any type of separating that you have been doing in your mind. It also means letting go of all judgment. It means that you see someone else’s success as your success and someone else’s suffering as your suffering, and those are also difficult pills to swallow for a variety of reasons. But you can live your own life with that knowing and choose to feel what you are feeling so that you can better understand everyone’s experience and have more compassion.

You can live an expansive, compassionate life without always focusing on the suffering in the world. Being aware of the truth that everyone’s suffering is leading to their own expansion and their own growth really helps as well, and that’s why you need the full picture of being awake to be active in your consciousness, and this is something that we strive to provide for you, and others do as well.

What we have been seeing is that so many are getting it and moving forward with their expansion that we can give you this progress report, and know that so many of you are having the experience of oneness, of unity consciousness, and of the expansion of your sense of self to include more than just your physical human body, and that is real progress. That is what changes everything for humanity.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

Written by author and channel, Jodie Helm. (Ignore the “by Pete” line above. All I do is post Jodie’s articles to save her the trouble. – Pete)

There are a million articles about the term “woke,” including the original meaning and what it means when conservatives use it as an insult, to liberals’ view of it representing a more educated, aware person. I’m very careful to separate my views from the Angels’ views, because I would never intentionally misrepresent them, and I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not as loving and accepting of everyone, as they are (although I’m continually working on it!).

When I initially thought about writing this article, I wasn’t going to ask the Archangels for their input, because I know they are always neutral when it comes to politics, controversy, and people. They never take sides. They will clarify, offer insight and guidance, and they will always be truthful, but they will not show favor to one person or group over another. They may take issue with actions, but they never malign or dislike any of us.

I thought I would make this strictly about my views, but something made me stop — I’m sure it was them — and ask if they had anything to add to the conversation, and I’m really glad I did. I liked what they had to say in all its grand neutrality, and it completely changed the tone of the article. Their response is below.

Question: I’m writing an article on the definition of “woke” as it’s used today and its various connotations. Do you have anything to add?

Answer:

We will not involve ourselves in politics, and you know we do not take sides. However, we will address the reason behind this new vocabulary.

We have said for some time that more and more people are awakening, but perhaps we should be more specific about what we mean by that terms and why this awakening is taking place.

Since our channel has published many articles, including our messages about things such as The Shift and the third and fifth dimension traits, and how they affect people, we will not be repetitive and delve in deeply about them. We will repeat that this grand and spreading awakening that is taking place right now on Earth is a direct result of those things, and everyone is affected in one way or another.

The energy of the fifth dimension is so different from what you are used to. It is lighter, less confining, and freeing. It has allowed for people to become more aware of things that need to change, and until they are changed, the majority of you will continue to be bothered by them. The effect is similar to your saying, as if you have taken off your rose-colored glasses. You see things more clearly, and you do not like much of what you can now see.

We often speak of people awakening, but there is nothing controversial or political about it. We know some would beg to differ, but at the heart of it, awakening is simply becoming aware of the truth. It is also about thinking beyond yourself and craving equality and justice for everyone, whether you are being mistreated, or not. When one awakens, they are bothered by the plight of others, and they cannot overlook or clear their minds of unfairness and inequality involving others. It is having a stronger sense of unity and recognizing that everyone is valuable.

Being awakened is a good thing, but it is not necessarily an easy thing. Everyone is affected by the change of energy and dimensions. It is not voluntary, it simply is. Most people will experience a positive transition, as the fifth dimension naturally lends itself and its inhabitants to more joy, love, and unity, replacing previous predominating thoughts of fear, separation, and survival. There are those, however, who will feel threatened and fearful of these changes.

Most common to reject these changes are people in powerful positions who have benefited from the struggle of others, and they will desperately try to convince others to resist them, also, using whatever means are available to them. Those who are not open to change cling to the fear and survival mindset of the third dimension and are easily controlled and manipulated. This is what is behind nearly all the polarity and controversy around the world.

You do not have to be politically minded or involved to be awakened, but understand, once that you have awakened, you can never go back to being blind to the suffering of others or accepting of inequality for others, and you will continue to be bothered by it until things change and are geared toward the benefit of all, rather than a select few.

Another thing that comes with awakening is becoming more aware of yourself and feeling stronger. This is not a choice, either, although again, it is not necessarily comfortable or easy. You are all beginning to realize that much of what you have been conditioned to believe is not true. You are beginning to realize that, although you are just one person, you are significant. That line of thought will eventually lead to the realization that you are mighty, and so much more than you believed yourself to be in the past.

There is nothing political about being awakened, unless you choose to make it so. It is not about choosing sides, it is about unity and love. It is not controversial, it is truth. You can resist it and hide from it, you can join groups who want to fight against it, but you can no longer ignore it or forget it. You do not have to rely on definitions or causes to find the truth, because it resides within you. You can deny it and run from it in fear, but if you do, peace will continue to elude you.

We wish all of you, awakened, woke, unwoke, antiwoke, and all others who are labeled, right or wrong, truthful or dishonest, love, joy, hope, and peace.

Final Thoughts

So, rather than going into all the different ideas of what “woke” means, I’m going to focus on what the Angels call “awakened,” instead. I’m not going to go on the original rant against ignorance and politicians, as was my original intention. And I am not going to suggest someone make buttons that say things like, “Woke and Proud of it!” which I considered before (mentioning it is not the same as suggesting we use it). The term “woke” invites controversy and anger. For me, at least, “awakened” invokes peace and truth. That’s my preference.

I’d rather concentrate on the fact that awakening is personal, rather than public, truthful, rather than controversial. It’s not the same as “woke,” whether it’s meant as a compliment or an insult. It’s about looking at the world and our part in it honestly and wanting something better than what we currently have. It’s really not a choice, it’s a knowledge of what the world is, compared to what it should be.

By and large, the people who are fighting for positive change and standing up for the persecuted aren’t doing it for any other reason than because it is the right thing to do. It’s not politically motivated or for personal gain, it’s just necessary.

Blessings, all.

I’m sometimes too trusting of others, and I’ve been burned more than once. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, rather than assume the worst, and it hasn’t always turned out well for me. However, I’d rather be that way than to look at everyone with suspicion and refuse to believe or trust anyone. I’ve learned that it doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other; there’s middle ground to be found. What I try to do now is give people the benefit of the doubt, but with caution and the search for information that supports the truth, whether it’s comfortable or not.

I still believe there are more good people than bad, more honest people than dishonest people, and more love than hate in the world. I also know that sometimes, it’s hard to know which category describes the people we meet. I asked the Archangels about how we can increase the trust in the world without being gullible. They answered in a broader way than I anticipated. I guess I expected a more upbeat answer, but they included some heavier things to consider, too. Their response follows.

Question: I would like to write about the lack of and need for trust in the world. Please give us some guidance on how we can improve this.

Answer:

There is so much dishonesty in today’s world that is constantly being covered by the media, many people believe it is reflective of most people. That is not true. In fact, most people are basically honest, but their actions are rarely news worthy. It is not that we fault the exposure of misdeeds and dishonestly. Those things should be revealed, but we would caution you to consider the broader picture.

It is not always easy to discern between honest and dishonest people. There are those who make their living by deceiving others. We know this, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious. It often pays to be cautious. However, there is a great difference between approaching people and situations cautiously and assuming everyone is out to get you and no one can be trusted.

Blind trust is a dangerous thing, yet blind distrust is equally dangerous, because it threatens your peace of mind and impedes unity, and without unity, there can be no significant change in the world. Sadly, there has long been more unity among the dishonest people, than there has been among the masses. You must work to change that.

A smaller group of unified people can defeat a much greater number of people who mistrust and/or dismiss each other and try to act alone. Fewer people working together are more effective than a larger number of people who act alone, even if they are of like mind and share the same cause.

If you seclude yourself from others, depending on and trusting only yourself, the chance of your voice being heard is small, indeed. It is by joining others who are like-minded, who work together toward a common goal who demand attention and receive it. If you want to affect change, it must be clear to everyone involved that you are not alone.

Lying and spreading misinformation regarding controversial topics is worse than it has ever been, because access to information has never been faster or easier. Many people either forget or dismiss the fact that you cannot believe everything you read or hear. Those who are purposefully spreading false information are at fault, but so is the person who blindly believes or who believes whatever they are told to believe without questioning the source of information. Everyone should take responsibility for discernment and for finding the truth, whether they like and want to believe it, or not.

Yes, you should be honest with others, but more importantly, you should be honest with yourself. Do not limit yourself to information that matches your beliefs. Expose yourself to various points of view, then learn factually and logically, rather than emotionally believing what you want to believe.

Too many people are only interested in comfortable information that encourages and supports their beliefs. They discard any information that is contrary to their opinions in favor of information they like better, with which they can easily agree, many times without verifying what is true and what is not true. These people fear the truth and dismiss it when it makes them uncomfortable.

When you follow these practices, you lie to yourself. It is like the person who does not feel well and keeps seeking doctor after doctor, until they find someone who tells them what they want to hear, even if that person is not reputable, because they prefer to be comfortable in their ignorance, rather than be challenged by the truth. People lie to themselves or refuse to discern what is true and what is not true, because they fear the truth and close their minds to it. They believe lies, because they are used to lying to themselves.

Our message to you is one of responsibility and truth. Be cautious with people and the information they give you. Do not assume they are honest or dishonest. Find the truth, whether it is comfortable or not. Find and consider all relevant and reliable sources of information that support a viewpoint based on factual information, rather than opinions, ideas, propaganda, or lies.

If the message is based on promoting fear, speculation, and/or emotional provocation, rather than factual proof, it is not likely to be honest or worthy of belief. Have the courage to find the truth, whether you like it, or not.

We send you all Love and Light.

Final Thoughts

Truth is often inconvenient, especially for those who aim to repress it, but whether you’re honest with yourself or not, the truth is still there. It doesn’t need our seal of approval or willingness to accept it, and when we reject it out of pride, stubbornness, or prejudice, it continues to be true, anyway.

I’ll be the first to point out that things that have been proven in the past have later been disproven. This happens in science often, but the conclusion they reach is based on verifiable truth at that time, which makes it worthy of belief.

I don’t need proof in order to believe everything, although I know some people do, and that’s okay. I have the following that I have, not based on facts, but rather faith and intuition, I suppose. I don’t have any pictures of me and the Archangels hanging out together! Yet, thousands of people believe the messages I share, because they trust themselves and their feelings, as much as they trust me and mine. Plus, the Angels so often connect people with my work who benefit from it. That’s a heavy responsibility I carry and take very seriously.

Sometimes, the Angels tell me something that is uncomfortable or inconvenient. Sometimes, I’m disappointed they don’t agree with me, or I wish they would see things my way, so I could feel validated, but I absolutely trust them, regardless of the convenience of lack thereof, attached to the information they give me.

It’s harder when considering information that comes from people. It’s so easy to avoid or stop looking into the provable, factual truth after you read or hear something you want to believe, because it’s validating and makes us feel good about ourselves. It feels good to be right, right? However, is feeling good, based on a lie worth denying or hiding from the truth? For me, the answer is no, even if it’s aggravating.

These days, it’s hard to know which sources to trust and which to discard, but to only believe the things we want to believe is irresponsible and makes us look ignorant, stupid, and gullible. We’d all do better to be well versed and prepared with the truth, the verifiable facts, so we can make an informed, well-rounded conclusion. Let’s be honest, at least with ourselves. Let’s be smart and well-informed. We can’t do that, if we hide from inconvenient, uncomfortable truth.

I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful, truthful weekend. I hope you’ll take a little bit of time to simply sit quietly with yourself, tune in, and be aware of how you feel. If you don’t feel happy, do something to remedy that!

Blessings to all of you.

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have noticed the recent surge in energies there on planet Earth that are coming from your sun, and we do want you to recognize that solar activity is sometimes a reflection of the vibration that you have been offering there as a collective, and other times it is the sun’s way of answering your requests for help. You have a relationship with your sun, just like you have a relationship with your Earth and with your soul. These helpers that are aware of you at all times can have an enormous impact on your mood, on your level of consciousness, on your thoughts, and even on your actions, and when you purposefully allow in their help, you have the ability to grow exponentially.

You are there to take consciousness where it has never been before in the solar system, and Earth knows that, and so does your sun. Your souls, of course, all wanted to have that experience of growing the Earth human consciousness, taking all of Source Energy to a higher level of consciousness by first going deep down into the trenches there on planet Earth. And so, the sun is doing so much more than just providing light, warmth, and the ability for all of you to grow food. You are blanketed in the energies of your sun all the time, and when you open up to receive them, you have so much more of what you need and what you’ve been asking for.

You do not need to spend hours and hours basking in the sun, and you do not need to sun gaze in order to benefit from what you are receiving from your friend in the skies. But taking a moment in every day to allow the sun’s energies in is a very good idea. Giving thanks and appreciation is always a good idea, and where would you be without your sun? How would you live there on Earth? It would not be possible. All matter is imbued with consciousness, and all beings have different levels of consciousness within them. You need to start thinking of your sun as a being, as well as a helper, because that is the true nature of the soul of the solar system.

Recognize that when you become aware of solar flares, and solar storms, and other solar activity, including eclipses, you have an opportunity to bond more, to connect more to this being that is providing you with so much, including these little reminders that you always have help coming from above, coming from the heavens. And so, we are continuously telling you about the help you are getting from us, from the Sirians, from the Lyrans, from the Andromedans, from the Pleiadians, and so on, and this transmission is a little reminder that you also have other helpers in the heavens.

Remember that the next time you feel alone or you have accessed some despair. Remember that the sun is always shining, and that when you receive what you are being given, you allow so much more to be sent. Remember that you have a relationship with so many other beings, besides your fellow humans, and use all of the help you are getting, all of the tools, the knowledge that you have at your disposal, because you took on a lot in this lifetime, you have faced many challenges, and you will face more, but you will never face any of them alone.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”
