Take time for yourself, remember you are 100% responsible for your own happiness always. Do not blame others for your own short comings, always look inside to see the truth looking back at you. Do not sell yourself short, take full responsibility for your actions, this then will make for a more fuller and happier life. Be brave, step out from the crowed, stand up for yourself and do it your way.

First message of many to come I hope.
Todays message.
Children of Earth it is time to return to the within, look deep into your soul and find the kingdom that lives within each and everyone of you. Put away your petty differences, as to be the spirit that you truly are, is to have no color, race, land, or earthly domain. Those things are only borrowed for but a short period of time, we are all one in spirit a beautiful golden light that radiates love and understanding, unconditional love is to be given to all.
Help your neighbor along the way, give of yourself to those in need of help, volunteer your services when ever possible, care for the weak, lend money to those in need without expectations and without conditions, care for the sick and pray for them to be healed. Even if it is only a small amount of time, service, money, or care, it is something and will come back to you 10 fold.
Learn to Love yourself first and foremost, for if you say you love other’s and do not love yourself then this is a lie. To say you love God and not yourself or your neighbor’s is also a lie, for you can not love anyone without first loving yourself.
Know who you truly are, a spiritual being having a Earthly experience, a learning time for each individual, to evolve in the the spirit and realize that you can right now be in the spirit, and do many things, there is no limitation in the spirit, give yourselves permission to let your spirit shine through and bring you into the bright shining being that you are.
Let go of your false pride, it is OK to be proud of your works, but false pride comes from not being able to reach out and ask for the help, you need to grow and to become stable again after a fall. We all fall, it is in the how you rise up again that counts. Trying to do so on your own without the help of other’s is being prideful and will only lead to another down fall.
Ask for the things you need from life, it never hurts to ask and learn to accept a NO when you do get one, there is a reason for the NO that you may not understand at the moment. But, realize the help will come as it is needed in the time frame that it needs to be given. Cultivate patience and faith in the seen and the unseen always. For it is in this willingness that all things come to you when you understand that life is Just, and will meet your every need, but not always your every want.
You have to be willing to act on your request, you can not just sit and expect life to hand you every little thing that you desire, you must act, on hunches, gut feelings, thoughts that come into your head of a positive nature.
What ever place in life you are right now, STOP and consider what it is that is holding you back, do you feel you’re not old enough, too fat, too skinny, not good enough, not educated enough, not pretty enough, or too old etc.. Stop now and realize that you are the embodiment of spirit and are meant to radiate love and goodness to yourself and have within yourself the power to change it all.
Look at your body as only a vehicle that holds the beautiful being that you really are, it is a learning thing, that you yourself chose to learn, and you yourself can change it at will. Dare to make changes, dare to stand up and be counted among the best, you are you know. If you have disabilities, or scars, or any one thing that your body has endured, know that it too, is a learning experience and needs to be looked at as such, do the best you can with it. Learn from it, teach what you know about it, give other’s a chance to learn from you. If for some reason you get knocked down in life, then pick yourself up dust your self off and start again by learning from the mistakes that brought you too where you are right now. We are here to learn, too blossom, to remember who we truly are.
This Earthy home is but yours for a short time, use it well, learn, act, evolve into your true nature, the spirit within, learn to let your spirit guide you, don’t get all caught up in the material side of life, yes we are to have abundance, but don’t let it rule you, take control of it. Remember the flow of life and be willing to let go of the things that no longer serve you.
The vail is being lifted, you are coming into your own sub-consciousness, learning how to fly in other words. Embrace it, let it happen, it is a beautiful thing. We dare you to become all that you can become, we expect you to learn to experience life as it should be, without fear, without limitations, and without worries. Live life simply and with conviction, we dare you to dream big, and act on your dreams.

Facts About Elvis Presley
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer.
I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book.
I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie.
So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.
I'd like to say that, I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end.
Without a song, a man ain't got a friend.
Without a song, the road would ever bend,
Without a song.
So I'll keep singin' a song".
– Elvis Presley, January 16, 1971

I suspect all of us have been hurt in deep and lasting ways by the words or acts of another. It's normal in such situations to feel hostility toward the person who hurt us. If we allow the offense to linger, we may carry the hurt and resentment in the form of a grudge. Usually this causes more unhappiness for us than the person we're mad at.
Some religions speak of forgiveness as a moral duty, others as a worthy virtue, and still others impose preconditions on the wrongdoer before he or she is entitled to be forgiven. Whatever your religious views, psychologists say the ability to forgive is closely correlated to happiness and mental health.
Some people refuse to even entertain the idea of forgiveness because they don't think the person they resent deserves to be forgiven. Others don't want to appear to condone or excuse the conduct and certainly don't want to reconcile with the person.
The essence of forgiveness is a voluntary decision to abandon continuing resentment, to let go of anger, and to move on. It doesn't require or imply condoning, excusing, or forgetting. Nor does it require that the forgiver re-establish a relationship with the wrongdoer.
According to Dr. Ben Dean, the capacity to forgive is related to the character strength of empathy. People who can empathize with an offender and see things from that person's perspective are much better able to forgive. He also says that the older we get, the more forgiving we're likely to become.
Hmmm. We usually get wiser, too. So maybe it's wise to forgive.
Michael Josephson
Despair.
"As one participates in life there are moments where the individual feels helpless navigating through all the dramas. The spiraling effect of choices by the ego can place one in a fragile position often defined a despair.
Despair from a spiritual definition is where a consciousness chooses its self into a corner where no matter what decision is made the end result is non-movement in the soul's evolution.
This can trickle back to the linear moment as a paralysis of sorts for the soul & the linear self. The ego not sure what to decide becomes agitated with the end result negative beyond the comprehension of the physical self.
What to do?
A return to the soulful moments are imperative. By placing a value upon the energy of the self rather than the perceived actor in place there is opportunity for a renewal of energy.
It is important to stop the negative thoughts through meditation or another physical/soulful process. There are no standard processes as each of you are unique representations of your soul.
Look despair in the face & consciously decide to make different choices. It will not be easy. Many linear (inappropriate) things will fall away. The goal is to jump start the soul energy. By doing so a new creative opportunity will become available.
Let it go."

I'M GLAD LOVE IS BEYOND MY CONTROL,,

Love, Trust, Forgiveness.
On this day of love, I see a world that has forgotten that in the word love there are many things missing. Trust, forgiveness, faith, It seems to mean nothing any longer to say I love you to so many.
In war, both sides say they love God, but, they kill each other and break his commandments, they fight over a land that was given to them to share, with no fences, no boundaries, and no payments. They kill each other to claim a land that was a gift.
They have let the power of money rule them, forgetting that it is not money that builds things, but the sweat and blood of every man, woman, and child who, create, build, refine, put together everything you see. Money did not build this world, men and women did.
We are co-creators with God, the universe, higher power, or what ever people want to call their creative internal power.
Children of this Earth, come away from your false ideas, the true love you seek is within you, and it comes with TRUST, FORGIVENESS, LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. Trusting in your own ability to create, give, build, and love is your responsibility, do not blame others for your lack of any of these.
The kingdom is within you, build it well, and it will serve you well, create, love, forgive, and except the gifts that are given to us for FREE.
Love is free, forgiveness is free, creativity is free, kindness is free, sharing your life, ideas, visions, are all free, helping your neighbor is free, excepting help from your neighbor is free, unless you make it otherwise.
So why do we love money so much, when money is not free, and cost so many lives. If you took all the money away then how would you live?
Neighbor would be helping neighbor, you would barter for the goods you need, you would go on building, creating, and maybe even loving your neighbor as you love yourself for your contribution's.
Yes, in this world today we need money, to buy the things we need, because we have forgotten. Just remember that all the money in this world will NOT buy you love.
Love is free, love is trust, love is forgiveness, love is safe, love is unconditional, and love is the freedom you seek.

Time immortal.
We as humans forget who we truly are, we are a spiritual being having a human experience, but seem to forget this fact and get caught up in the drama of everyday life. We start believing at an early age that this world is our home, when in fact it is not, it is only but a stopping place in our long journey of immortal beingness. Our true home is in the vastness of space and time immortal. Enjoy your visit for you are only here for a short time then off to another space and time. To love, to dream, to become
