A decade ago, the renewable energy movement faced an uphill battle. Today, environmentally-minded nations of the world increasingly embrace alternative energy sources. These countries now lead the way toward a future free of petroleum and dirty energy. In the process, they save significant amounts of money on national energy costs while preserving and protecting the world’s natural resources.

Despite powerful corporate disinformation campaigns meant to convince populations that renewable energy is not a viable way to satisfy the needs of global industry, the following five nations aren’t just subsisting on renewable energy—they are thriving on it.

A recent survey suggests that for most of us that have ever had a pet companion, it’s a no-brainer that mammals and birds are emotional creatures, sharing emotions with multiple species and not just their own. Yet despite the thousands of YouTube videos and hundreds of recent scientific studies presenting easily accessible evidence and examples, not everyone thinks so.

It was only in 2012 that scientists finally agreed that nonhuman animals are conscious beings. Meanwhile, in the laboratory, we have only just discovered that dogs display immensely complex human-like emotions like jealousy, and we are only just deciphering how cows express positive emotions through the white of their eyes. But what about insects?

What are emotions?

Briefly, let’s touch on the definition of what an emotion is, which is still largely debated even today. While most of us are pretty convinced that emotions exist (seeing as we experience them ourselves), defining emotions is easier said than done

Whales are truly amazing creatures. These gentle giants are some of the worlds most intelligent and emotional animals, despite the fact that researchers and scientists still know very little about them. We really don’t give animals as much intellectual credit as they deserve, even though they often display behaviour and characteristics which show (in my option) that many of them far outstrip the intelligence of the average human being.

Below is a video of a stranded Orca who found himself beached on the shores of New Zealand. After saving the whale, the rescuer managed to get some remarkable footage of his reaction as they took him back out to sea. Here is another video of Ingrid (whale’s rescuer) talking about the incident.

I hope you enjoy the footage, and perhaps take a moment to consider what our species is doing to the ocean, and to the environment overall. The way this whale responds to Ingrid is amazing, and even years later “Ben” would still approach her and her boat, while keeping his distance from the others (as explained by Ingrid the video linked above).

Throughout recorded history, humankind have had very short lifespans. After the advent of agriculture, the average life expectancy shrunk to much less than 40 years. This is not a lot of time to figure out life. On top of that, with the advent of civilization, people had to toil most of the day under feudal lords. Most of them were slaves. Knowledge was scarce. Whatever knowledge was available was held by the elite. The high priests, royalty and the wealthy were the only ones with access to any knowledge. Most people were illiterate. They lived in ignorance.

At the advent of the printing press, knowledge became more available, especially in the developed countries. Libraries became common place and books became affordable. In many places around the world, people are offered a basic education for free. Our life span has nearly doubled, and knowledge exponentiated. Now most people have access to basic knowledge about atoms, quantum theory, stars and galaxies and so many things in between.

You are all capable of being very adept energetic sorters. And you are so powerful, you can do it with just your focus!

Let us think about cleaning out your closet. You take each item and decide what you would like to continue to be part of your experience, and what you wish to release by donating, recycling or discarding. Releasing simply evaluates and decides you no longer wish to have something as part of your experience. You do not continue to look at the pile of worn and outdated clothes, crying that they exist. You do not despair, wondering when the pile of worn and outdated clothes will ever end. You simply examine each item and masterfully decide what you love and wish to continue to as part of your daily existence, and what no longer serves you, and take the appropriate action.

So why not take the same approach with your life? What do you wish to magnify and continue as part of your experience? You get to choose! And if you start to become very selective about what you bless with your continued focus, you will find that your days become more and more filled with what you love. Dear Ones, it is a skill you already have. ~Archangel Gabriel
