Do You know why they have that saying"Blind Ambition"?Because in their desire to achieve,some people have blinders on to everythingand everyONE around them.This has been the casualty of many of the great minds and leadersthroughout history, and your present day is no different.In their run up the ladder of success,In their desire to succeed,In their drive to be more and have more,they lost their humanity.It is really so easy to be kind.To see the needs and wants of those around you.It takes great effort to lock away your emotions,to become literally blind and deaf to what is really going on around you.They may insulate themselves in their ivory towers, butin their hearts they know the truth,so it takes great energy and effortfor their soul to remain so callous to the plight of others.Luckily this is changing.The energy is such, that many of the new soulsthat come in with a dream for success are temperedwith heart, with human kindness.We're not saying that blind ambition will perish from the Earth all together.There will always be those that strive to succeed with blinders on.But what will start to happen, is that no one will want to work for them.No ones self-esteem will be so low that they will toleratebeing demoralized.So these people will reach some level of success, but not the great heightsof the past,and certainly not public service.Those in public service are going to start to be held accountable,and they will be reminded who they work for,so their ambition will develop great sight!Success at the expense of others,it won't work, their ideas will never get off the ground.So blind ambition, success,at ANY cost,will become a thing of the past.

" I Love this one"!

Living fearfully, is a bad habit.
You have a tendency to find the chaos inside even the 
most lovely and serene moments.

You walk thru your life with a dark, heavy coat of worry
on your shoulders.
It has a hood that obstructs your view,
which worries you even more, because your mind is left
to fill in the blanks...
and that is NEVER good

You worry, because you want to stay vigilant, prepared.
You think this keeps you ahead in the game,
when quite the opposite is true.
We are guiding you out of that pattern,
because that is all it is, 
a pattern that you have become accustomed to.

The outside world seems to have adopted this same pattern,
and appears very chaotic, which keeps you off balance,
which starts the worry cycle, which begets more
chaos.....and there go! down the rabbit hole!

Ok
So you say, "I want to change that"!
and we are here to help.
But...it is going to take some mental elbow grease,
so to speak, at first, to break that pattern.

You have to shift the energy inside, 
which you all know is the start of every change.
You know that because you have read all the blogs,
and are really really, really ready! :)

So
You lift your energy by sitting still and appreciating 
any serenity.
Appreciate your breath,
appreciate your heart beating, keeping you alive,
appreciate the fact that you can choose a new path,
appreciate all the tools and wisdom that you have at your disposal,
look for anything that feels calm, serene.

Appreciation and gratitude for WHERE YOU STAND
will start to raise your energy,
and the chaos and worry coat 
will fall off your back.

We know, you want a more involved solution,
but we're telling you, 
it really is that simple.
Change your pattern of worry and chaos
by practicing appreciation for even the smallest 
pieces of peace and serenity you can find,
and live full moments inside that oasis.

When you do this, they will start to multiply
they will start to get your attention,
Let them
that is where your new path will lead
To serenity inside the chaos

Have you noticed how your life will get your attention?
Your soul, the higher part of you that is still connected to Universal
energy, knows what you want.
It knows all your hearts desires.

The part of you that is here on Earth, living and breathing,
sometimes you can get in the way of these plans.
Even if every cell in your being wants to zig...
you will zag
and feel awful!

That is when your soul, tries to get your attention.
It's mission is to redirect you back to your desired path.

It will start with a whisper.
Thoughts or conversations that gently uncover
your true feelings, and sometimes,
that is all that is needed to set you straight.

Sometimes you get so far off the path,
that the tug on your sleeve gets even more urgent.
A job change, or move of location, even the end of 
a relationship.
Those events can take you and actually turn you around,
back in the direction of your hearts desire, 
IF you are able to stay out of anger and resistance.

But, if you fail to get introspective, to stop and listen 
to your inner most voice,
That is when it may turn to a scream.
Something that REALLY gets your attention!
You get fired
You get very ill,
Your house burns down,
You get the picture.

The scream is so loud and so life altering, 
that you have no choice but to stop moving and just listen.
Take stock of where you are and what you REALLY want.

That was the job you gave to your higher self that stayed behind.
"When I loose my way, get my attention, and set me back on my path"

So now that that is clear, 
which will it be?
A whisper?
or a scream?

You have embarked on a sort of 
spiritual scavenger hunt.
That is the fun way you can look at it!

You came here with a list of attributes,
experiences and "Ah ha's" ,
each of which came with different people you had to meet,
and places you had to be at along the way.

You have a limited amount of time (your lifetime)
You have the desire 
and you have the list in your head.
You really do!
It is actually encoded in your soul,
but you can remember it if you are quiet
and listen.

Sometimes you will just know you are on the right
track to an item on your list.
You can FEEL it!
Everything lines up perfectly, 
you are in the right place at the right time,
the right people show up, as if by magic,
and you get those butterflies of excitement 
in your stomach as an affirmation.

Just like in any scavenger hunt,
you ask for help, directions, and clues
along the way.
You would never take your list and try to go it alone!
You would never ignore the clues and disregard 
the directions!

It's supposed to be a challenge, 
finding all these clues and having all these experiences.
But it is a game,
and it can be so much fun... if you let it.

Lighten up about it!
Treat it like that child's game,
that scavenger hunt, filled with intrigue
and excitement and a sense of wonder.

What "Ah Ha " lies ahead of you today?
Who will cross your path that has a clue?
Will you engage? or will you try to go it alone?

Take their hand and run like children
toward the next surprise!
This game is always better played with friends!

We know this is a sensitive subject.
Mostly coming from the Mis interpretation 
of the original intent.

Each culture has a prophet or enlightened one,
who through their writings or the accounts of others,
imparted wisdom, in ways the people of that time
could understand.

We guarantee you that at the time, it was laced with love.
It is that component that has all but disappeared.
Along the way, through this ancient game of "telephone"
it has been filtered through the lens of judgement
and tweaked according to will and whim
of who it could serve at the time,
and is now almost un recognizable.

LOVE and COMPASSION
was always the foundation of the world's religions
at the start.

Once men realized they could control the masses 
through clever editing with a change of a word here and there,
that's where the train went off the tracks so to speak.

It is naive to think that every word of the Bible or Koran
or all the other sacred documents have remained intact.
Through many translations in the energy of each time,
things were changed, left out, or completely mis interpreted.
Then the energy of each generation took what they read to
mean what was important to the things happening around them,
at that time.

You now have whole systems set up that promote and condone 
separatism,
judgement, 
and hate of anything that is "different".

Do you really think that is why these religions came into being?
Men can do all these things on their own, without the structure
of a religious system behind them.
Wouldn't it make more sense that these prophets would ask you to elevate
your energy and practice
understanding,
compassion,
peace and 
love? 

There are many beautiful aspects in your religions.
Use your discernment for what feels right to you,
and appropriate for the energy of now.
Return it to wisdom written with LOVE and COMPASSION
and make THAT your practice.

Roots And Wings
Hmmmmm...
Think about that
Is that even possible?
To have roots and wings?

We give you the example of seeds.
They start their life as a part of something bigger than
themselves.
At a certain point, when the conditions are right,
with the assistance of the wind, they take flight.

Inside even the tiniest seed has the blueprint for life.
They come imprinted with the knowledge to lay down roots and grow,
All they have to do is find fertile ground.

The wind appears to be their enemy and their ally, 
It uproots them and takes them far and wide, 
setting them down sometimes in the most unlikely of spots.

But the seeds are compliant.

They try to stand where they are.
They attempt again to set down roots.
Sometimes they are successful,
and sometimes the wind, that darn wind,
if the roots are still shallow,
will pick them up and deposit them elsewhere.
Somewhere better.

There is no judgement on the part of the seed, 

they don't say "darn wind" we do.

They know that they will end up at the end of every flight,
establishing roots.
For however long they stand in that spot.
Their stay may be short as a tiny weed.
Or establish the deep roots of a giant oak.

So you see it is possible to have roots AND wings,
and to use these winds of change to your advantage.
Free of the fear of change,
establishing roots wherever you're deposited by life...
until your next flight.

Temptation
temp·ta·tion
/tempˈtāSHən/
Noun
A desire to do something, esp. something wrong or unwise: "he resisted the temptation to call Celia"; "we gave in to temptation".
A thing or course of action that attracts or tempts someone: "the temptations of life in New York".
Synonyms
seduction - enticement - allurement - lure - bait

Like most human feelings, temptation can have a bad rap.
There is a kernel, a nugget of temptation in every desire 
at the very beginning.
The lure of something unknown, the desire for something other than
what is in front of you, ohhhhh tempting......

Then the judgement comes in.
It started with the temptation of Adam and Eve.
That is where it got its bad reputation. 
They were tempted by the apple, something new and unknown,
and gave up everything good in their lives,
that's quite a message!

You use the word temptation for wanting that second cupcake,
for desiring your friends husband,
for the thoughts of quitting your job and moving to Italy.
But if you removed the judgement,
temptation is still giving you information, feedback,
on your wants,
on your deepest desires,
taking your temperature on where you stand.
And THAT is what life is all about!

Seeing something that you want, and realizing what 
needs to change in order to move in that direction.
Now your intellect and wisdom and character 
will also give you feedback on how to proceed.
There really is not a black and white,
clear cut , right or wrong way to go.

A second cupcake won't hurt anyone.
It is probably not a good idea to go after your friends husband,
but with that feedback, that temptation,
you realize you are not satisfied with your own
romantic situation.
As far as quitting and moving to Italy...

Some of the most amazing, messy, life altering,
crazy great, transformational experiences
have started with the phrase:
" You know...I' m really tempted to just...

The energy is ripe right now to accommodate 
many scientific advances.
Did you know that the energy had to be a match?
otherwise experiments, and theories never got beyond the drawing board.
You can have a brilliant mind working tirelessly on 
a new scientific advancement, but somehow it just 
never seems to get any further than the lab or the 
desk. Tesla is an example of this.

The energy has to come up to match each theory,
or...the energy advances to a point where souls 
come onto the planet with the combination for many
unsolved and unanswered problems.
Each generation enters the world with a database
of the accumulated knowledge as their platform from which to 
jump.

You can see that with the children now.
They take to all the devices like fish to water.
It's like they already know how to operate this
technology from birth, and that is a correct assumption.
That is how, as children, they are setting up for the next wave
of things to come.

You cannot even imagine what is on the scientific horizon!
Just as you could have never imagined what is commonplace 
in your daily lives even 15 short years ago!

So don't worry so much about the future.
Science fiction will become science fact...and then some.

The next three generations will come in with a respect and reverence
for the planet that has been absent for centuries,
and THAT is the combination that will unlock
the next wave of huge advances.

So hold onto your hats!
Talk about making dreams a reality!
These present days will look like the dark ages
because the future is setting up to be so bright!

com·pro·mise
Noun
An agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.
Verb
Settle a dispute by mutual concession.
Synonyms
noun. agreement - accommodation - settlement - conciliation
verb. come to terms

Compromise is essential in any relationship.
No One party can have it their way 100% of the time.

Because there can be an energy of settling for less than what you want,
Resentment can ride along with compromise.

To avert that, it is very important that empathy be a main ingredient in compromise.

If you can step out of the way of your own needs and wants
for awhile, and see, hear and feel, what the other party 
is asking for, compromise will not have that edge of anger
and resentment.

If you view their requests as something that is 
being done TO you,
Taking something away from you,
or feels unequal, or unfair,
you may end up compromising,
but it will be an uneasy alliance.

Step inside the "shoes" of another before you attempt
compromise in the any situation.
If you can better understand their point of view,
there will be an ease of just wanting it your way.

The alliance will happen naturally,
and again, you will realize that everyone 
is doing the best they can in their own circumstances,
and sometimes in order to reach peace
you must zig and let the other zag.

Sometimes we will be posting something written,
a poem, prose or some general wisdom :-)

Sometimes we feel a picture is enough.
Words take the long way around thru your brain.
A picture has the ability to go straight to your heart.
Much like music.
Don't make us start singing!

Although there is a lot going on beneath the surface,
it feels pretty quiet out there.
Things feel suspended in space.
Not many things are breaking thru...yet.

You could call this the quiet before the storm,
but that would probably make you nervous,
because you barely hear "quiet",
all you hear is "storm".
Don't worry!

True, after observing the weather patterns lately, 
We could understand your concern.
We are not talking about a meteorological event,
but rather an energetic one.

There is going to be a large energy influx next month
and now is the time to set your intentions,
your hopes and dreams for what you would like to see transpire.

What has been log jammed so to speak in your lives lately?
Is there an agreement or contract that needs signing?
A move? Either geographically or laterally that needs deciding?
Are there people in your lives waiting to make their transition?
Destiny's waiting to be fulfilled?

This is the quiet time, the time to be still,
the best time to reinforce what you desire.

You know how storms come thru and stir things up?
even make some magic with their thunder and lightening?
And you know the freshness that is left when they depart?
How clean and clear everything feels?
Even the colors seem more vibrant after everything gets bathed 
in the rain and dried by the wind.

After this next energy influx, 
your lives will feel very much the same.
Much cleaner and clearer.

So there is nothing to fear,
sometimes things just need to be pushed along,
and moved forward.
So now you can view the "quiet before the storm" differently.
Now it will represent to you a time of deliberate set up
before the "storm" of renewal :-)

People watching is a wonderful pastime.
Isn't it amazing the variety that exists in the human race?
Tall, short,
male, female,
Heavy, slim,
blonde hair, red hair, dark hair...no hair!

There are some people that look at others and see animals.
"he looks like a weasel"
"She has the hands of a sloth"
These are not compliments.
They are imaginative, 
but they are generally hurtful.

What kind of filter do you see others thru?

Do you, in your head, think
"She's too skinny,"
" He needs a shave"
"They look ridiculous"
"He'd be cute if he lost 25lbs"
"She looks old"

Do you want to know something that will change you?
EVERYONE is doing the best they can!
and EVERYONE has their story.

"She" is skinny because her boyfriend is always mentioning her weight,
she would love to eat normally, but he'd leave her.

"He" forgot to shave because he had to rush out of the house to 
pick up a sick child at school

"They" look ridiculous to you because they are marching to their own drum, 
not yours!

"He" has struggled with his weight all his life, but his wife adores him
as he is, he is cute to her already!

"She" has lead the life of helping others, she has never taken an interest
in her own reflection, she is held in high regard and loved by many
and THAT is what matters to her.

Become aware of how you look at others.
You would hope others look at you with kinder eyes.
Remember these words and make adjustments to your thoughts,
when you gaze at the beautiful personified story of another,
and all you see are the flaws.
