We’re all looking for stories of hope – that the world can be changed, that we are not limited by our culture, our backgrounds, our histories – and few stories are as inspirational as that of Lucy Naipanoi, a grandmother of Maasai, one of the last hunter gatherer tribes left on the planet.

With the help of her children and the wonderful people at Barefoot College, Lucy has become the Solar Mamma of her tribe, bringing light and energy to her neighbours’ households and her own, so that they and their children can adapt and thrive in an ever changing world and retain their respect for mother nature by adopting sustainable practices from the outset of their development.

Under 45 metres of water, just off the Greek Island of Antikythera is an Ancient Greek shipwreck, discovered within the sunken ship was the Antikuthera Mechanism. A mechanism that is thought to of been used to calculate astronomical positions. However this ancient calculator is very significant due to the fact that it’s as complex as an 18th century top-notch clock, yet was built between 150 to 100 BCE.

It’s an ancient analog computer that consists of a box with dials on the outside and a very complex assembly of about 30 bronze gear wheels mounted inside, nothing similar to this has ever been discovered or is mentioned in any known writings from the period of its creation. The reason that this mechanism is so mysterious is that it can predict astronomical positions and eclipses for calendrical and astrological purposes, as well as the cycles of Olympic Games.

There is only one soul expressed in physical form. All is expressed in the One and the One is expressed in the ALL. That which is experiencing is also the thought. In the beginning was the ‘word’. The word is a thought. Prior to anything being made manifest in the physical, it is first the energy of a thought.

I am the thinker and the thought itself. I am, just as you are, the observer and the observed.

Duality is a perceptual lie. Right or wrong, good or bad is determined by one’s own indoctrination. Energy is just energy until the intellect observes is and defines it. Depending on the perspective of the individual’s beliefs and experiences, they determine whether they are in agreement or in disagreement. What makes an enemy an enemy?

At one time or another, we’ve all had some psychic experiences in our lives. Yes, it’s true that some people have more psychic ability than others, yet we’re all born psychic. It’s as much your birthright as anybody else’s. This natural soul ability is not purely limited to those transcended masters, or to people who have devoted a lifetime to studying this and practicing meditation. It’s not about fortune telling, crystal balls, or predicting the future. To be intuitive or psychic is not just something we possess. It’s more a way of being.

Put simply, the word psychic is from the Greek word, psychos, meaning “of the soul.” By definition, it means that as spiritual beings, we are able to access, receive, and transmit information that reaches beyond our physical body and our natural five senses.

God said:

This is how life is meant to be: Easy.

Have even the slightest desire, and the next thing you know, your desire fulfilled appears right before you. Just know that all is taken care of. Touch base with a mild desire, and then you let go of the desire. Let go of it. Let go of it nice and easy, and this is how it comes to you.

Let’s clarify, however, before you loll around in a hammock waiting to have your desire served to you. If you want a college education, get out there, apply, and, once accepted, study. Perhaps if you are a great athlete, a college will come after you. Regardless, you make tracks.

At the same time as you take responsibility for your life, you are easy with it. Studying can be easy. Understanding can be easy.

When you focus on life’s being difficult, what are you expecting?

Letting go doesn’t mean letting go of responsibility. Worry and fear are not the same as responsibility. They are irresponsible. Let go of them.

In everything you think and do, you are going in a direction. You make motions. You take one kind of book out of the library and not another.

Everything that occurs is not by dint of your hard work. I will go as far as to say: You attract the fulfillment of your desires to you, yet there is also a larger view, and that is that there is always a Higher Power at work. You have that Higher Power at your service.

The fine point here is that that you go in a direction that makes it easy for Me to serve your desires. How about that!
