Fifteen brave students at the for-profit Corinthian College announced this week that they will refuse to pay their federal student loans, launching an unprecedented U.S. student debt strike.

The students hail from Corinthian Colleges Inc., a chain of for-profit schools that has been plagued by allegations of fraud and predatory lending. Corinthian faces hundreds of individual lawsuits, including one by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which accused Corinthian of juicing job placement numbers and conning students into predatory loans. And everyone from the Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), to a group of Senators led by Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have called on the Department of Education to forgive Corinthian debt.

But rather than wait for the Department of Education to heed these calls, these students have taken matters into their own hands, and called the debt strike.

We all meditate, whether we know it or not. This is because meditation occurs when we alter our brain wave frequency, and different activities, such as exercise, can do it naturally. Once we are aware of this, we can consciously participate in the ways in which we do meditate.

And considering how productive meditation is for our health, recognising the moments in which we are meditating in action will potentially increase its benefits.

Another sure-fire way to reap the rewards of meditation is to incorporate into our daily routine. Many people have wanted to try meditation, but never have, or they did but gave up after a relatively short time. This might be due to different reasons, such as they didn’t think that they were learning anything, it was too tedious and ineffective in the short term, they didn’t want to invest the time required or they felt they didn’t have the capacity to become advanced at it.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT   Your Spiritual roots are created from pure love. There is nothing in the world that does not come from the inspiration of pure love. We know this is difficult for many to grasp when you look around and see all of the experiences of Not-Love.

We understand that it is hard for you to exist in such a place. As your veils of amnesia lift, it becomes even harder to remain on the Earth. Yet we ask you to have patience, for there is much that you can do to assist with the changes that are currently taking place.

Many Lightworkers have come to the Earth at this time to assist in returning the Earth to her pristine state. Although the Earth was pristine at the time of her original creation, she and her inhabitants are now beginning to vibrate at a much higher frequency. This means that those who cling to lower frequency aspirations will not be able to maintain their goals of Not-Love experiences.

You, as a Lightworker, have the ability to pressure those in leadership positions to make the changes you wish to occur on Earth. There is power in numbers and as you unite with each other, with common goals, your voice will be heard. Many of your industries will crumble overnight if each of you simply says, “No more!” and stop feeding the monster. As you bond together and boycott the industries that are harmful, these corporations will either crumble or scramble to restructure.

When I say that everything is okay, I don’t say this as a palliative. I encompass the idea that everything is, indeed, okay, just as it is. I mean Everything IS okay. I mean that nothing can happen to you, beloveds.

Whatever occurs in life, it’s okay. I could even say to make Myself more clear, “Everything is A-OK.” What you see as terrible or even horrific is still okay. I mean more than: ”It WILL be okay.” I am saying life is okay now as it occurs.

If you were to be arrested falsely and sentenced to prison for life, it’s okay. If you were sentenced to death, it would still be okay. I know you are not yet at that place of embracing this that I say. Even after you might fight and fight a death sentence to no avail, I am saying it is okay. It is all okay as it is happening.

This reminds Me of: God’s Will be done.

Yet I also want to impress upon you that I do not sit around planning what you see as adverse occurrences in life for you. I do not. My focus is on greater than details of what you, understandably, would like to avoid.

I know a lot of folks in D.C. are going to be having all-nighters tonight, because at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Washington D.C. residents will be free to legally possess and use marijuana. Residents of the district are allowed to have up to two ounces of marijuana, twice as high as Oregon, Colorado, Alaska and Washington.

But the rest of the rules pertaining to legalization are about the same. You can’t use marijuana on federal land or public property. You can grow up to six plants at home, but only three mature at a time. You can also give an ounce of the plant as a gift.

Voters legalized marijuana by the widest margin yet with 64.9% of voters in favor. Unlike the other states, though, D.C. will have fewer regulations beyond those rules...
