What is this that rises in you, and you feel as if you are an innocent victim of your own choices? You justify actions and inactions with excuses. You couldn't help it. If someone hadn’t hurt your image of yourself, you would be calm. You would be glad to be calm. The peace of calmness is the choice of champions. Excuses are not.

No one makes you do anything. Another human being isn't an excuse for your action or inaction. It may be you made a quick decision without seeing squarely that you yourself made a choice that was not imposed on you. It comes back to you, dear ones. You choose to do as you say, or you choose to forgo your stated promise.

Premeditated or not, you dropped the ball. Except for this and that, you would have been true to your word. Nevertheless, no one made you renege. It may have been against your will to be less than perfect in the world. However, you may say you are too busy. Naturally, being too busy makes you human, yet that doesn't make you your ideal of yourself. How you would like to be divine. You would like to be. If only others would be divine, you would have no worries.

This is undoubtedly true. This depth of equanimity is not easily come by in the common world.

No one would have set off an atomic bomb except for this reason or that. Good reasons are easy to find. Good reasons are not wonderful excuses, however. You may get away with excuses, yet they are not honestly your free pass. It may seem so, yet sooner or later, excuses trip you up. Better to look subterfuges in the eye.

In spirituality and personal development, we’re often told to surrender to and accept an issue or situation – but where and how do you begin to surrender to and accept situations in life?

Surrender and acceptance are among the bigger spiritual issues you’ll battle with in your life – like compassion, patience, and forgiveness, there aren’t easy answers to surrender and acceptance, they are things you learn over time. They are an energy you begin to resonate with as you practice.

Surrender & Resistance

Everything we work with when you’re dealing with personal and spiritual growth can be broken down to dualities or polarities.

In order to know something completely, you have to know both its polarities so that you can find balance in the middle, between those two extremes.

There will always be those that run around proclaiming, “There is fear!  There is fear!!  There is FEAR!!”  And, in their fear, they will attempt to control parts of society and the world with “no’s” to everything.  The fear, OH, it can be so appealing and feel so safe especially when the mass consciousness is being influenced.
My beautiful, beloved child; now is the time to ‘buck the system’!  Be at peace, be joyful, be loving and most of all be one of those that joins in the chorus of, “Here is light!  Here is Light!  Here is LIGHT!” ~ Creator

We hear a lot these days about the medicinal benefits of marijuana, which were given hardly any attention just a few decades ago.

We used to treat marijuana as a dangerous drug that either makes its users lazy or encourages them to try harder drugs that are actually dangerous and addicting. While that kind of propaganda is still alive and well, the world is slowly realizing that marijuana can actually be good for the human body.

It would’ve been nearly impossible to get someone to acknowledge or accept this a short time ago, but with the power of the internet and alternative media, knowledge of the health benefits of cannabis has spread to the most skeptical corners of society.

Well-known doctors are coming out in favor of medical marijuana, and people are realizing it was a mistake to ignore scientifically proven facts and countless anecdotal accounts of how the plant has helped people.

The world is changing its stance on marijuana, but for this article, I’d like to put the spotlight on its cousin, hemp. Hemp is not an intoxicant, which means you can’t get high from it, but it’s illegal in the U.S. just like marijuana.

You may be at My feet as you ask:

“God, please let my family win the lottery, or, in some way, God, get Good Fortune to come forward so that we may be next in line for wealth. Now, as I ask You this, it doesn’t feel right to me ask You this, for this could be my ego asking. It’s not that I have not worked very hard, God, yet something doesn’t feel really right for me to ask You this.

“So, I say it differently now. Dear God, may my family and I fulfill whatever is ours to fulfill? Have we somehow blocked our very own desires? Has something within me squelched my family’s very desires? If we have a blockage from some fear or threat within us, then, something within also has to unblock what holds us back from fulfilling our nethermost desires. God, please help us to recognize great sustaining happiness. Let us be grateful for all sweet breezes that blow.”

Yes, I answer you, why wouldn’t I? It would be My pleasure. Some people have to wait awhile for their will to blossom or their True Will to come from another direction. Perhaps you have to wait. This is something that comes from a reason of your own. This isn’t something that I ordain. This is something that you enjoin.

Here is how I suggest you get up every morning:

Get up with the idea in your mind that many blessings are on their way to you.

Go to sleep every night with the same sort of idea in your mind. Think:
