A tropical storm forced the Republican National Convention to be postponed, but thousands of protesters didn't let a little rain stop them from rallying in Tampa, Florida Monday morning to voice their grievances against the GOP.
Demonstrators from across the country gathered in downtown Tampa early Monday , where they then marched around the city's streets chanting messages for the Republican Party.
GOP leaders will convene later this week at the convention, where they are expected to formally nominate Mitt Romney to challenge incumbent Barack Obama during November's presidential election.

Rnc Protest

People gathered outside Tropicana Field on Sunday, August 26, in St. Petersburg, Fla., to protest the opening of the Republican National Convention.
 

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A diverse coalition of senior citizens, religious leaders, community organizers, and activists in faded Occupy T-shirts joined up here Sunday for the first major march of the Republican National Convention. Under overcast skies and persistent drizzle, the demonstration clanged through this sleepy Florida city, passing by closed storefronts, as well as RNC event staff snapping pictures from behind tall gates.

The protest aimed to mock the RNC's welcome event at nearby Tropicana Field, which had been billed as a large cocktail party. The activists hoped their snare drums and chants would at least spoil the mood for RNC attendees.

Angel Wisdom with Sharon Taphorn ~ Insight

Gain understanding

 
You can find tools for understanding any situation or relationship by seeking the answers within you. The angels can help you to see the bigger pictures of things if you ask. It takes focus, commitment and intention from you and trust that your angels will go to work on your behalf. Learn to trust your own instincts and don't give up because it is not happening fast enough or in the way you expect.  
 
Release the how and focus on the now.
  
Keep a journal and note all the times you trust your own innate knowing and found what you were seeking. Keep track of all the times you felt guided and got to where you wanted to be. Soon you will notice more of this in your life, and the more you trust and follow these feelings and thoughts, the more grand the adventure of life becomes. 

 Affirmation: "I trust in my ability to gain clear insight into any aspect of my life, and clearly move forward knowing that I am guided and supported along the way."

Awaiting Departure

Posted on August 28, 2012

The boat is anchored at the shoreline as the sun begins to set. It will wait there until we are able to board and sail off towards the new world. The time is growing near, we can feel the pulse of humanity quickening at the thought of freedom at last! It is close, it has been a long time coming! Have we done our homework needed to purchase our boarding passes? We were told we must leave our ego and judgment and hatred at the gate before proceeding through. Have we been successful at discarding these unnecessary emotions that do nothing but hold us back from being who we truly are? These emotions were our learning tools that showed us what life was like when we engaged in this way of thinking. It is hoped that we have come to our senses and can now see the destructive nature of these emotions. We are being asked to find the strength now to abandon these emotions and instead embrace love and gratitude.

Both the founder and former director general of Asia Commercial Bank were arrested this week for economic crimes, triggering a run on deposits and forcing the central bank to provide emergency liquidity to the institution.

(Reuters) - Hungary expects heated debate with the European Union over government plans to transform energy distribution in the household sector into a "non-profit activity", Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Isaac was near hurricane force as it bore down on the U.S. Gulf Coast on Tuesday and was expected to make landfall in the New Orleans area seven years after it was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Isaac's swirling winds and rain could pose a major test of New Orleans' new flood control systems and reinforced levees. Forecasts from the U.S. National Hurricane Center showed the storm barreling ashore late on Tuesday or early Wednesday near southeastern Louisiana.

Lady Portia ~~Your happiness and your new world are ready to be made known to you ~~ 28/08/2012 by GLR Méline Lafont.

 
 
 
My dearest Hearts, I Am Lady Portia, and I want to elaborate in all earnesty about your Ascension process and your huge transformations that you are all undergoing presently. I wish to add that you are all most welcome in my Love energy of Light and of splendour. You are all much affected by my energies for they bring out the worst in you to get replaced by the best and most beautiful energies. You are all turned upside down and inside out in order to get the most out of you because all lower energies, and I really do mean all of them, have to be eliminated as they no longer serve you.

Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius

Most days I discuss how we can be of service to others and to the planet, but today is about how we are of service to ourselves.  There is a tendency for people to dominate others, and we want to counter this by focusing only on what we need to do.  What do you  choose today?  Don't wait around for someone else to give their acceptance or approval.  Stand up and stand out for whatever you want.  This is an important part of the re-formation that is taking place this month because it is where we put our own desire or "stamp" on the process.  Light a candle and make some sort of statement about your intentions.  If you aren't someone who is good at putting yourself into the equation (meaning you tend to put others before yourself) you are going to need to put that aside today.  The only ways that will work today are ways where we are taking care of ourselves.

The manuscript of survival – part 187

 •August 28, 2012 •

 

Do not fret dear ones, as you have not been forgotten. We are well aware that for many of you, the time is passing excruciatingly slow, and you cannot face the thought of another day in this seemingly purgatorial condition. Rest assured that all is well, and even if you fell less than well by now, we are here to help you get through every up and down on this path. For even if it might not seem like it at the moment, there will be more ups than down in the time ahead, and we think you will all find more than one reason to hang in there, as they say. Not to be flippant about this, but you are in fact well seasoned travellers by now, and as such we think you deep down know that even if at a superficial level much seems devoid of meaning at the moment, we also know that if you go deep inside your own core, you will find the strength and certainty you feel to be lacking in all of your every day experiences.

 

In other words, we do not take your complaints to be unwarranted or unneccessary, but we would just like to remind you all of your true strength. It is there, ready to be tapped into, and when you do, you will find all of these aches, pains, discomforts and uncertainties to diminish considerably. They will not go away, but they will cease to be as noticeable as they mayhaps seem today.

 

So even if this might seem to be an uncalled-for advice at the moment, we urge you all not to give yourselves away to the cries from the less important parts of your being. You are so much more than the aches and pains in your physical body, or the insistent voice of worry gnawing in your mind. You are as solid as a rock, and as strong as the Universe, and we think you will all find a way to re-discover that for yourself in the next few days. And please, do not take this as any criticism. It is not, it is merely a reminder that you are made by far more solid stuff than what your seemingly frail physical body and your somewhat timid mind try to convince you.

 

Your spirit is already soaring, but your human parts, to call them that, are desperately trying to pull you back down again, and as such, this insistence on suffering and distress can be difficult to ignore. But you must try to listen past all of these blabbering voices of discontent, as they are only trying to hold you back from re-connecting with the real you. And yes, we do understand that this is a very, very difficult part of it all, because all of this discomfort and unease takes up a lot of space in your daily life. But still, it bears repeating that whenever you manage to go beyond this wall of disgruntlement, you will find the peace and ease you so hanker for. And then, you will be lifted closer to the level of the real you, where you strength becomes more apparent than your human weaknesses, and you will find the patience to persevere once again.

Connections to portal locations are being completed

Connections to portal locations are being completed

28AUG

Connections to portal locations throughout Gaia are being completed for the 9-9-12 event. Such as those who are aligned with Gaia are being opened, in a sense, to receive and transmit the Higher Energies through, and into the planet.

Those selected for the 9-9-12 in a physical and possibly “traveling” sense, know exactly their role, although instructions come moment by moment. We convey to you that these Hue-people are to be honored and supported by the Higher Realms in all they need to do.

Preparation for the upcoming Grand Event are ongoing. The 9-9 is one step in the leading up to the 12-12 to 12-21 Ascension window. 9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 12-12, are exponential increases in Cosmic-consciousness and Cosmic-awareness.

This planet is that Being of Light spoken of in the so-named Holy Books. And she is progressing on schedule, into becoming fully the Light Being that she is.

Gaia is grateful for all participants at this time.

Lucas – Class Of 2012 – Graduation Duality School – 28 August 2012

It is not long anymore for all of you will return to their homes, their families and friends from a far or near. The time spent on this earth’s school of duality is in the finalizing phase. We see our different classes we took and timelines we saw and explored all coming together now. We have grown out of our roles played in this play.

The new exiting future is what we still are guessing at.  We also have to let go of our positive and negative experiences and leave them as a faint memories behind at our school.  We can go there if we want back with our class year books as all that knowledge is still for all available only it will not be hurting or be overly exciting you. It is past that is future but all Now.
