Many try to sell spirituality. It is all dressed up and made to look like the newest solution to the oldest problems of mankind. They use marketing and promotional techniques of successful companies.

Awareness sells itself, because it is grounded in the truth of existence and ourselves. It should be shared, not promoted, and centered on the truth within the heart -- not used as a money-making opportunity.

You will often make decisions for yourself and not know if they are the right ones. Feel into your heart. A ‘right decision’ will put an end to the turmoil within and carry with it a sense of peace. It is The Universe agreeing with you. ~ Creator

Throughout your life you will embrace many different values, but within you there will always be core values that represent what you stand for and all that you personally hold dear.

Have you ever experienced a moment in time, when you felt that something was wrong or missing in your life, but you just couldn’t figure out what?

More often than not, that uncomfortable feeling is a message from your inner self trying to tell you that you are off balance somehow, and living life by default rather than according to your core personal values.

This feeling can be unnerving if you’ve never actually taken the time to become clear about what your core values are; but especially disturbing if you come to realize that over time the values you once held dear have been suppressed, compromised or ignored completely.

Has humanity learned to work together yet? I've noticed that so long as people operate like slaves, so long as there's a boss, government, or some other authority figure telling people specifically what to do, there's the appearance of working together. When it's up to people to be self-motivated though, it seems this quickly falls apart. When there's no obligation to help, and no immediate reward, people tend to be lazy. I'm not just theorizing here either, I know this from my own experience on organic farms and in volunteer organizations. When it's voluntary, a minority of the people tend to do the majority of the work.

If people really want positive change in society, this is going to have to change. Working together is something people should have learned in kindergarten, it seems such a basic part of being a mature adult, yet it's a rarity in our society. People are not self-motivated, so they just go along with the patterns of the past. People wait for the government to change things, yet the people who control the government have a vested interest in keeping things the way they are.

Sometimes there's more truth in children's books than in spiritual messages. I enjoy the ones where you have to understand the message for yourself instead of just being told what to think. It takes some self-motivation instead of just passively believing. With that at heart, I present the story of The Little Red Hen:

QUESTION: Are our lives pre-destined, or if we are meant to travel in a particular path can anything we do always direct us there?

ANSWER: Our lives are not pre-destined because we have free will. However, we do set forth a plan and the soul will bring forth certain vibrations in their energy fields that will naturally attract certain qualities, lifestyles, jobs and people to them. For instance I have the vibration for art, writing, design, organizing etc… but I currently do not have the vibrations to be a singer, gymnast, mathematician etc. Our souls naturally desire to do the things we have vibrations for. I would never desire to be a math teacher in this lifetime because if I lack the vibration for it, it will be too hard for me to accomplish and my heart simply will not be into it.

In addition, as a soul we incarnate with certain attributes and spiritual guides that will help us fulfill our soul contracts. The genetic lineage we choose to incarnate into also plays a huge role in helping us fulfill our souls dreams...
