…you have exactly what is needed for where you are. – The Council

March 1, 2015

council

The Council

As you go through your day, are you finding that you are reacting to situations that used to ‘push your buttons’ in ways that surprise you? Have you changed so much? Are you one of those who is experiencing unexplainable things around you? Are you seeing things that you were never able to see before? Perhaps you even question whether or not you really did see them? Hearing things? Knowing things you never knew and don’t know how you know? Are you having dreams that are much clearer and more promising? Are you feeling as if something huge and important is just around the next corner?

Welcome to March of this new year. Welcome to the new you. For those of you on the top end of your planet, Spring is about to spring. For all of you, your Spring is beginning to bloom. We have told you many times that you each have remarkable gifts that you have brought with you for this new time. Many of you have wondered what we were speaking of. If, and as, you search inside for your true selves, you will now find these things. Some will not seem so very impressive to you. Let us assure you that you have exactly what is needed for where you are.

At first you may feel a bit at sea as you step into the new. This is not unusual, is it? It is the same as learning anything new. You may be impressed with what you are learning. It is only the beginning. Those who are stepping into roles as way showers have done this more times than you could count. It may be tempting to doubt your ability. Instead, we suggest you look inside and find your worth. We have discussed this many times.

You probably grew tired of hearing how you were the strongest and the best. If you had any conscious awareness of what is at stake, you would never expect that anyone less would be trusted with this assignment. Mankind is about to wake up and look around. He may rub his eyes and stumble to the shower. He may have to stretch a few times. But, oh, what a day he has ahead of him. And most of you will have a ringside seat.

Remember to see everything as a part of the wonderful changes that have been promised, no matter how they are portrayed in your media. At first, you will be told the sky is falling. When it doesn’t fall, things may become just a bit clearer to those who can understand what is happening. That would be you. Resist the urge to say “I told you so.” Just help where help is asked for. Just be peaceful. Well, joyful will be alright, too.

So try not looking out of the windshield and asking if you are there yet. Try looking out the side windows and noticing how everything is speeding past. This will be a month of activation. You have spent quite some time absorbing the energies that we have spoken of over and over again. Now you will begin seeing the results that your inner changes have made possible. And if your own personal changes do not seem so very big as yet, remember that every effect is also the cause for an infinite number of other changes. Change your impatience into expectation. It is a great deal more fun.

Blessings, dear friends. As always, feel our presence and our love.

Activity is Part of Enlightenment

Credit: Mojofeet.com

Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness

Contrary to popular belief, the pursuit of enlightenment doesn’t have to lead us to give up activity. Finding a degree of enlightenment can actually inspire us to become more active than ever and use our knowledge to uplift as many people who can open up to what we’re saying as possible.

Even finding a small degree of enlightenment can make us want to pursue our developing spiritual connection and stay active in the name of uplifting ourselves and everyone else who’s becoming spiritually aware, and activity is an important part of spiritually evolving.

It’d be unfortunate to become useless in the name of enlightenment, and as we’re learning, we can stay active and retain our calm, patient center. Centered activity is a lot more potent and effective than mind-driven activity that we use to avoid silence, and no matter how convincing our excuse is, we’ll hold ourselves back if we avoid the silence of the sacred self.

The best thing we can do is find a healthy middle ground between working hard and staying in the still, silent flow, and that’s why I enjoy writing. It allows us to be active while still being silent and letting a higher aspect of our consciousness work through us, and I think this is what so many spiritual teachers refer to when they encourage us to be still yet active.

Activity is an important part of spiritual evolution, and as long as we don’t use it to avoid our inner silence, it can be one of the most potent ways we raise our consciousness. I benefit as much from writing these articles as you all do from reading them, for example, and I’d feel like something was missing if I didn’t write them.

I’d feel like I was going without the activity I need to spiritually thrive, and other creative people can probably say the same. A musician couldn’t spiritually thrive without music, and most creative and spiritual people use their creativity as an avenue to explore their greater perception.

Credit: Thebrooklynscribbler.blogspot.com

That’s what I do, at least, and along with music, writing’s an incredible tool that helps me expand my mind and, in the case of presenting researched reports, learn new things about the spiritual nature of our existence. We should only depart stillness for productive, spiritually rooted activities, and we should only depart our productive activities for stillness.

Sri Krishna encourages us to act with self-control.

“Activity is better than inertia. Act, but with self-control. If you are lazy, you cannot even sustain your own body.” (1)

We don’t gain freedom by abstaining from action altogether, he tells us.

“Freedom from activity is never achieved by abstaining from action. Nobody can become perfect by merely ceasing to act. In fact, nobody can ever rest from activity even for a moment. All are helplessly forced to act, by the gunas.” (2)

Refraining from work can cause us to ‘create confusion in the minds of the ignorant’ (not to mention that it could cause us to become ignorant ourselves.)

“The illumined soul must not create confusion in the minds of the ignorant by refraining from work. The ignorant, in their delusion, identify Atman with the gunas. They become tied to the senses and the action of the senses.” (3)

The ‘ignorant’ will find their path in their own time, but meanwhile, our work helps them along their quest to understand their reality in a greater way. If we work hard (while remembering to take time to be still) and present as much spiritually inspired work as we can, we’ll make the path easier for others who are just starting to open up.

They benefit from our diligent work, even if they don’t read, see or hear it, because our effort will always raise the collective vibration. When we work hard in the name of spirit, we uplift the collective consciousness and make it easier for others to become aware when they’re ready.

Because of this, we’ll want to stay active and keep flowing so we can help everyone become aware and use their awareness progressively. I think progressive awareness is the best kind, because it allows us to produce work that uplifts others who, without our work, might’ve had a hard time raising their vibration or becoming spiritually aware.

Everyone’s subconsciously aware of spirit, even the people who seem the least aware at the surface. Our work helps bring that subconscious awareness up to the surface and inspire the ‘ignorant’, as Sri Krishna described them, to explore their consciousness and maybe even take up their own work.

Credit: Thespiritscience.net

Sri Krishna also tells us that the performanceand renunciation of action bring freedom.

“Action rightly renounced brings freedom:

“Action rightly performed brings freedom:

“Both are better

“Than mere shunning of action.” (4)

This might sound like a contradiction, but as Ra tells us, ‘in unity, all paradoxes are resolved’. This quote actually makes sense to me, because again, we can be active and mentally silent at the same time. I’m relatively quiet in mind and heart as I write this, and that’s how the expressions you read here flow through so easily.

As long as we’re mentally silent as we work, the spirit will flow and we’ll use our work to awaken, uplift and inspire others, strengthening our conscious revolution in the process.

The best way to do our work is with a fire in our belly and detachment from the results, Sri Krishna tells us. Our work won’t be very pure or significant without these qualities.

“He who does the task

“Dictated by duty,

“Caring nothing

“For fruit of the action,

“He is a yogi,

“A true sannyasin.” (5)

Sri Krishna continues.

“But he who follows

“His vow to the letter

“By mere refraining:

“Lighting no fire

“At the ritual offering,

“Making excuse

“For avoidance of labour,

“He is no yogi,

“No true sannyasin.” (6)

Some people use the pursuit of enlightenment as an excuse not to work hard, but as we’ve learned here, hard work is actually an important part of our spiritual evolution. We’ll want to embrace stillness and fun as much as we embrace hard work, and all of these qualities put together will give us the best, most free-flowing enlightenment journey.

It also helps to remember that our work isn’t as much about the fruits of our labor as it is enjoying the journey. We’re meant to enjoy every meditation; every attempted third eye or Kundalini activation; every meditation, individual or collective, that we use to raise our vibration and change the world.

We have to enjoy the things we do to bring our planet into the light, and they won’t mean much if we don’t. If we stay dedicated and remember to have fun with our work or, as some spiritual teachers have suggested, combine our work with meditation, we’ll get the most out of the enlightenment process and we’ll be glad we worked and played so hard.

Credit: Interactive.wxxi.org

In our final quote, Sri Krishna tells us that nobody can completely give up action.

“No human being can give up action altogether, but he who gives up the fruits of action is said to be non-attached.” (7)

Non-attachment is one of the biggest goals on the enlightenment path, and this is why so many teachers have mentioned the importance of being detached from our work.

Giving up the ‘fruits of our action’ is the best way to stay detached and have fun with our work, and even if nobody reads the things we put out, we’ll know we had fun doing them and that’s all that really matters.

No matter how hard we work, we won’t achieve a thing if we don’t remember to enjoy it and incorporate silence into it.

When it comes to writing, music or anything else, that sacred inner silence is an important part of it. Without it, our work would be as stale and hollow as the cultural garbage the mainstream media constantly flaunts, and it’s safe to say that none of us want our work to be at that level.

So let’s stay aware and do what we can to bring the world into the light. Something tells me we’re achieving more than we realize, but regardless of what we achieve, enjoying ourselves is the most important part of our work and our spiritual evolution in general.

As long as our activity is fun and spiritually nourishing, nothing else matters.

Carl Boudreau: Astrology Status for February 28, 2015 . . . worth the time!!! ~J

February 28, 2015 at 3:00pm

Deceptive Astrological Coloration

Everyone has doubtless heard of essentially harmless and vulnerable animals who have evolved to resemble dangerous and well-protected animals. Or you will recall movies in which information revealed in the final scenes (The Sixth Sense) forces us to rethink the entire movie. Something like that is happening in March.

Some of March’s most noticeable aspects seem to justify negative expectations across a broad range of issues. On the face of it, the bad news in March can be made to seem really bad.

Seeming Cause for Grave Concern

There is an exact Uranus/Pluto square on March 16th. Uranus and Pluto will both be direct during the exact square. This strengthens and sharpens its explosive, disruptive potential.

The negative potential of this square is further aggravated by the effects of Mars conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. Both will be exact on the 11th, a few days before the Uranus/Pluto square on the 16th (New York Time).

This powerful and harsh set of aspects suggests a sharp peak in abrasive rhetoric, repressive politics, confrontation, and, brutal and violent aggression. Realistically, we do have to expect some disturbing events in March.

Political and economic pressures will come to a head. On the individual level, health and employment issues, domestic and legal issues will come to a head.

It seems to get even worse. There is a total solar eclipse on March 20th, the Vernal Equinox, and a total lunar eclipse on April 4th.

These eclipses can trigger long-pending disasters or release destructive pressure that has been building unnoticed in the background if structural integrity has been compromised over a period of time. That is why, for example, bridges suddenly collapse or pipes rupture.

It is indeed likely that lingering Uranus/Pluto issues will flare up one more time. They might also continue to simmer into the indefinite future. On the individual level, employment, health or domestic issues can reach crisis levels.

Finally, the fact that all of this is happening close to the the vernal equinox on the 20th raises the specter of a very difficult spring, indeed.

About Face

However, the fact that the upcoming Uranus/Pluto square is the last in a series of 7 of changes expectations entirely. We have already absorbed the energy of 6 exact Uranus/Pluto squares.

So we have already absorbed and more or less neutralized the brunt of this aspect’s destructive and transformative power. The worst that the Uranus/Pluto square has to offer is now behind us.

We will still have to deal with the damage already done by the Uranus/Pluto square, certainly. However, negative Uranus/Pluto events will taper off sharply and existing Uranus/Pluto situations will stop getting worse. We can start the cleanup in earnest. And look unhindered to a better future.

Protective Coloration

The Mars/Uranus conjunction and the Mars/Pluto square on the 11th will, indeed, make the last Uranus/Pluto square on the 16th seem worse than it is. Don’t be fooled.

The new Mars/Uranus/Pluto activity simply does not pack the wallop and does not have the staying power of the fading Uranus/Pluto square. The troubling and attention-grabbing Mars/Uranus/Pluto fireworks can disguise, or camouflage, the fact that a lengthy, difficult and much more powerful Uranus/Pluto influence is ending. In reality, all it will do is set up those still committed to a dark and negative outcome for a fall as we head toward two total eclipses in a row.

The eclipses are not the universally, uniformly dark omens some might think. Eclipses can bring important issues to a head, ending costly debate and controversy. They can bring answers to longstanding questions and do all of the above in our favor. Eclipses can also remove unrealistic possibilities from consideration, leaving us to devote our energies to more realistic options.

Eclipses might not always resolve issues to our complete satisfaction. But by closing out old business, eclipses create fresh starting points, allowing us to move forward less heavily encumbered by the past.

Reversing Course

Saturn is stationary retrograde on the 14th. This is, in many cases, a solid plus. Many legislative, legal and bureaucratic issues currently seem to be approaching finality. In many cases, the most likely seeming outcome is decidedly unsatisfactory.

This is especially concerning since final votes seem scheduled to coincide with the highly problematic, conflicting, deeply troubling aspects of mid-March.

These conflicting and largely negative aspects make it all the harder to marshal our forces and stop the momentum. The upcoming eclipses deepen the sense of uncertainty and foreboding surrounding these outcomes.

However, with Saturn stationary/retrograde, all of these problematic legislative, legal and bureaucratic proceedings will grind to a halt unresolved and the issues will, of a sudden, be open to review. Their seemingly unstoppable momentum toward an unsatisfactory outcome will stall out and its once certain outcome called into question. Going into March, we could be looking at defeat. Going into April, we could be looking at victory, or at least an agreeable compromise.

The Eclipses Themselves

To get some sense of where this potentially very confusing mix of conflicting forces will take us, I cast a composite chart for the two total eclipses.

The power and negative potential of March’s aspects are apparent in the composite chart. However, you have to look closely to see them because the squares are concealed behind multiple, overlapping trines, including one loosely formed grand trine.

Netting it All Out

Recently, I have been reporting on signs of a major energetic shift. For a long time, hard aspects in cardinal signs have dominated the charts. I’m thinking of the Uranus/Pluto Square in Aries and Capricorn and before that the Saturn/Pluto/Uranus T-Square in Libra, Capricorn and Aries. Very difficult stuff.

We are now entering a period dominated by a much more forgiving mix of hard aspects in mutable signs (Saturn in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces) and a fire sign trine (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus in Leo, Sagittarius and Aries respectively).

Also, we are moving from an energetic set up that favored aggressive, disruptive, outer-directed action based on rigidly held views. We are now moving into an energetic set up that favors the kind of inner changes and soul searching that can fundamentally change the social, economic and political dynamic.

To me, the choice in March is simple. We can mistake the transient social, economic and political fireworks supported by Mars/Uranus/Pluto aspects for something much more serious than it actually is and completely overlook the passing out of the Uranus/Pluto square influence. Or we can look more closely at what is actually happening and see the dawning of different and much better times.

Do not allow a few admittedly hard and potentially destructive aspects convince you to abandon hope or to drop your plans for the future.

RE: IS THE NEW AGE REALLY COMING?

The Arcturian Group via Marilyn Raffaele: March 1, 2015.

The Arcturian Group March 1, 2015We come with greetings of Love and Grace to assist all who seek change and deeper awareness. We observe that many have already accomplished this – you have done the work and are beginning to see the fruitage of that work.

As Gaia lifts into ever higher dimensional levels, many are beginning to more easily experience and integrate the deeper truths.

Concepts previously taken for granted as being truth, have become no longer acceptable to ever increasing numbers of people.

Some holding positions of leadership or fame who comfortably spewed lies or acted in ways to enhance their own power, authority, wealth, and self aggrandizement, are being exposed.

This is happening because so many have begun to listen to and act upon their intuition, instead of simply accepting “bought and paid for” sources of information. You are awakening from the dream.

Always listen to your intuition, Dear Ones. Even if at first you are unable to fully trust, make a mental note of what you receive.

Intuitive guidance and knowledge comes from soul, it is you, and it will guide you through every situation of every day if you acknowledge it and allow it. As you evolve and begin to trust more deeply in your own Divine nature, intuition will simply become ordinary – no longer needing to be practiced.

The world in general has been trained lifetime after lifetime to look outside of itself for answers, guidance, and happiness which makes perfect sense in a world of duality and separation, for most did not realize there was anywhere else to look.

However, since duality automatically manifests as pairs of opposites, the results of looking to the outer are sometimes good and sometimes not so good.

Most of you are no longer of this energy, you have “graduated” and come to know that the outer things are interpretations of consciousness. Mind is the substance of matter.

In third dimensional consciousness, the outer is most often formed through human effort – matter manipulated to make it work. However, because there is no law supporting man-made forms, there is nothing to hold them in place – a lesson many are painfully learning at this time.

Those who have always achieved exactly what they desired, regardless of any harm it may have caused other humans or Gaia, are now finding – or soon will find – that these manipulative ways no longer work as this type of energy is dissolving.

Many who presently sit comfortably on thrones made of ego and self-importance will discover that they sit within castles made of sand.

The new and higher resonating energies do not eliminate wealth or power but serve to lift it into higher forms. Abundance is a quality of the Divine – ever present already within every individual and held infinitely in place by Divine Law.

The higher consciousness of abundance in all its forms flows easily and infinitely as oneness, Love, and service – never a tool for personal selfishness. There is nothing evil or wrong about financial abundance.

Like all other qualities of the Divine, through the belief in two powers, abundance has been misinterpreted and thus manifests in the world as either too much or too little.

Remember, you are powerful Beings. Your thoughts and words create, and each time you say, “I don’t have”, mind interprets that and forms it in your outer experience.

The Arcturian Group wishes to discuss change. We observe many who retreat into fear and resistance whenever the familiar dissolves or changes. When old forms dissolve, know that the Divine idea behind the form is still present.

Divine Ideas are changeless and are held forever in place by Divine Law. Because of this, newer and better forms of every Divine Idea take the place of that which dissolves – if you allow it.

Example: At one point the Divine idea of Omnipresence was interpreted in human consciousness as walking, then it evolved to riding horses, then to horses pulling sleds or carriages.

Then came the model T and all that has followed it – Omnipresence manifesting as jet planes, elegant automobiles, and fast trains, and it does not end there, there is no end.

Divine ideas never change – what the world lives and sees depends upon how these ideas are interpreted according to the consensus consciousness or individuals. This is what you are lifting into more Light.

There are those who still base their sense of self in whatever perceived qualities of value they have – how beautiful they are, how much money they make, or how fashionably they dress. This is seen in the mindless worship and imitation of the rich and famous.

Individuals drawn to imitation are not yet awake to their own Divine Nature, and so have no real sense of self worth. This state of consciousness frequently lashes out through violence because the individual feels left out, unworthy, and rejected. They are frequently are drawn to positions of authority where they are able to act out legally.

Some with a consciousness of unworthiness simply choose to suffer silently, but their energy field often attracts those of a “bully” state of consciousness because both carry the same energy of unworthiness – like energy attracts like energy.

Bullying cannot be solved by punishment, but by the attainment of a sense of worth within the individual. These types of issues are usually carried from past life experiences and need to be cleared at their root, not with medication but with truth.

Many fear the loss of themselves in the process of evolution. Over lifetimes of infinite experience as human beings, every person develops a personal sense of self and is usually ready to defend it at all costs.

When an individual begins to realize that he must move beyond many of the very qualities he believes to be who he is, he panics. This can be a terrifying experience, especially for strong personalities, and is the point at which some choose to end their spiritual quest.

Your claim to fame, your personality – you – must be surrendered in order to evolve? Surely not! What will be left? Nothing? It is at this point that many strong, powerful, and outgoing individuals begin to visualize the holy cards nuns handed out to school children – men and women with eyes raised and hands folded – booooring. Nah!

Never fear losing anything real, Dear Ones, for you only ever release and leave behind that false sense of self you have been entertaining about who and what you are.

Nothing real can ever be lost. You will discover that you are still you, now empowered in higher ways of seeing and being as the real aspects of you become stronger and more enhanced. You are becoming a new and improved version.

As evolved individuals, you will continue to live and move and be in the world, but be much less touched by it. You will find yourselves able to enter the fray of work, home, or play, and not be tempted to enter into it. There is no longer anything for lower resonating energies to attach to, for your energy field is now of a higher resonance.

This is Lightwork, Dear Ones. You came to awaken, evolve, and then help those struggling to do the same.

Forget any dreams you may have had about ascending and then sitting back comfortably as an observer for the rest of your time on Earth, or skipping off to a quiet convent or monastery. No, any Light that you attain is not only for you, but for the world in whatever ways or places you may find yourselves.

Many of you are beginning to experience all sorts of odd situations because you have become carriers of Light – Lightworkers. Do not be surprised or put off by the experiences that may start to come your way, for you will be drawn to where you are needed and those who need you (not want you) will be drawn to you.

As Lightworkers you will soon find that any old concepts you may still hold of “proper”, “dignified”, or “correct” go out of the window, but at the same time you will discover in this work a love for mankind that you did not know you were capable of.

Lightwork, Dear Ones, consists of being the Light in whatever form it is needed. It goes with you wherever you go because it is you.

If you have been in some difficult situation – at home, at work or in a relationship – you will start to notice that it is no longer able to affect you as it once did, simply because you no longer resonate with that energy or give it power.

This often represents a completion of some sort and is usually part of one’s Soul Contract. Spiritual resolution of some old karmic issue gives an individual freedom to leave the situation, or even find himself somehow removed from it. However, there are times when these situations are a person’s chosen Lightwork – that is to simply remain and be the Light. Always ask for Guidance and trust your intuition.

Soon you are going to be seeing more and more changes that you will recognize as spiritual. Up to this point you have all wondered when you will see some proof that all the evolutionary ideas are real.

Do not expect changes to appear as explosions, Dear Ones, but seek intuitively behind the headlines and on the faces and in the words of those around you. Examine how you feel about what is going on in the world today versus a year or two ago.

Much of the violence in the Middle East is very old, ancient energy that must be cleared and played out in order for Gaia to clear herself. Your focus must be on spiritual growth and awareness and then the living of it, for you have nothing to offer the world if you remain in the same old universal belief system.

If you are clearing old energies and resolving old karmic situations, allow the process but do not get so enmeshed in it that you spend the rest of your life laying on a couch declaring that you can do nothing because you are clearing.

If you are guided toward some action, do it. If you are guided to be silent and hold the energy of Light for some world situation or person, do it. It is a new time in which old solutions and rules no longer work – so it is fruitless to keep trying to make them work.

In this new time and new energy rejoice, Dear Ones, for you are very close to seeing a new Earth.

We are the Arcturian Group

Jennifer Hoffman: Change is Coming, Are you Ready for it?

jennifer-hoffmanI have to share a secret with you, I don’t really like change. In fact, I am very much a creature of habit. I love order and routine, so when I have to make changes, I generally take my time and then make them when I don’t have any other options.

This means that change happens rather abruptly and sometimes in ways I can’t manage, meaning I can’t delay it any longer. Our need for change arises when we have ‘run out of energy road’ in our current reality and if we’re going to move in any direction, we’re going to have to allow change to happen.

We can’t be open to transformation (which means to ‘change form’) if we aren’t willing to change anything in our life, especially when moving forward or fulfilling an intention requires some kind of change, or for something in our life to be different.

Change means altering our lives, creating a new routine, and doing things differently. We always have to learn something new when things change, and that can be one reason we delay the change for so long. In fact, we’ll delay it until no other option is available and then we have to scramble to change something.

But even though we’re content with the way things are, we are not necessarily happy or satisfied or fulfilled. We learn to adjust to and cope with things that don’t work and tell ourselves that they’re OK, until we can’t cope any longer.

car_wreck_nolicIn 2010 I had a serious car accident on an icy highway that totaled my car. I loved that car and had owned it for 13 years. It was our family car, so it held lots of memories and losing it was hard. Although it had a few minor mechanical issues I knew how to work around them.

One of my children had wrecked it a few years prior and the right headlamp kept falling out. So I carried duct tape in the car and would apply it as needed. The ignition switch wouldn’t always work but I knew how to jiggle the key to start it.

The gas gauge wasn’t always reliable so I made sure I filled it as soon as it went down to a half tank. I don’t like buying new cars and usually drive mine until they stop working. In this case, I really needed to get another car but I wasn’t going to until the universe gave me a little push. Totaling the car was the push I needed because I had no other choice, my car was now dead.

So I went on the dreaded car buying trip and found a newer model, which came with GPS. After my first guided trip around town, I was hooked. I love GPS and being ‘directionally challenged’, I appreciate not having to drive around with a map on my lap, trying to figure out where I am so I can get to where I am going.

But I would not have gotten the car when I did, and I would have continued to tolerate annoying mechanical issues and not having accurate, automated road guidance, if my other car had not been taken out of my life. Change was needed and it was time for me to allow the change to happen.

To be honest, driving was always frustrating, especially when I was driving in an unfamiliar place because I don’t have a great sense of direction. I always carry maps in my car and I still do, but I have my GPS to help me get around a lot more effortlessly.

I had to buy a new printer last week because my old printer stopped working. Again, I use my office equipment until it dies, even if there are technically superior options available. My old printer did what I needed, sort of.

I could never get the wireless to work, the scanner stopped working, the paper feed wouldn’t handle more than 10 sheets at a time, and I never did figure out how to print envelopes.

It prints graph paper (go figure), calendars, forms, and reports, and I also can program it to receive all kinds of automated information from various sources. I received my first inspirational messages today, which I read while I was eating breakfast (I scheduled them to print early in the morning).

How we view change determines how we experience it. If we think it’s going to be ridiculously hard, upsetting, and traumatic, it will be. And if we use that opinion to wait until the last minute to change, we can expect to get something that is going to give us the push that will help us acknowledge that we need to allow change to happen.

But if we see change as part of the process that happens when we set a new intention for our life, then we create a better, more graceful pathway for change to follow. Then change becomes part of the process instead of the instigator. We can have an accident on an icy road and be carlkess for a week, or we can start shopping for a new car when we know we need one. Either way, the change is going to happen. How it happens is up to us.

Are you tolerating things that don’t work, don’t make you happy, are hard work, and don’t flow in your life because you’re afraid of change?

Are you afraid that change is going to be hard? What if it’s easy?

What happens if you shift your perspective around change and transformation and instead of seeing it as hard, just see it as part of the flow that takes you into the outcome you want to create?

If you are intending something new in your life, change is part of that process. Be open to inviting the best, most wonderful, highest frequency outcomes for yourself and the changes will simply be part of the flow of that coming to you.

Then you can plan for change instead of having your plans upset so you can learn to embrace change and the new beginnings that accompany it. We can’t create new beginnings from old attitudes & beliefs. Something has to be changed for a ‘new beginning’ to be actually ‘new’.

A rebirth can’t happen if we simply want something new but we aren’t willing to change a single thing about our life right now. The change doesn’t have to be huge (remember quantum describes a very small change that has an exponentially big result) but it has to be something.

Change a thought, belief, attitude, how you see yourself, your expectations of your potential and your life, but be willing to change something and the results can surpass your most outrageous expectations.

Big dreams need big thoughts to support them and at the very least, they need at least one small shift in another direction to happen. Shift happens when we are willing to change, transformation happens when we believe that change is just one aspect of the fulfillment of our intention.
