HJ: Relationships are only as deep and nourishing as the people that enter into them.  Like anything in life, as within, so without.  Improving the quality of your relationships is all about YOU showing up more fully and authentically, grounded in self love — as you cannot give what you do not have.  Relationships can also serve a dual purpose as an amazing tool for self growth as the level of intimacy and vulnerability we experience can offer us a unique space/container for growth that can be hard to find in the world.

4 Ways to Have More Affectionate, Loving Relationships

By Elizabeth Stone | Tiny Buddha | Why Men Leave

–

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” –

“There is no such thing as maturity. There is instead an ever-evolving process of maturity, because when there is a maturity there is a conclusion and cessation. That’s the end. That’s when the coffin is closed. You might be deteriorating physically in the long process of aging, but your personal process of daily discovery is ongoing. You continue to learn more and more about yourself everyday.” – Bruce Lee

The process of emotional evolution and self-discovery is one that should last our entire lives. If we are the same person that we were 10 years ago, emotionally, it would be safe to say that we have become stagnant emotionally, consciously, and spiritually. When we really sit and think about it, the task of progressing as a person is really our only task while we are here on this earth.

It’s a blistering 30 degrees outside, Michael is walking down the street in shorts and a T-shirt. Many drive past, curiously looking at him. But one family turns the car around. With that little decision, everyone’s life is turned upside down.

It’s the inspiring story behind the movie The Blind Side. Not only is Michael Oher’s life transformed into an NFL star and Superbowl champ, but the entire Tuohy family is blessed beyond anything imaginable.

Our culture is captured by the epic, grandiose, and monumental. “Go hard or go home” is the mantra for success. We stand in awe of Goliath and pay no attention to young David.

Indeed we forget that little decisions have profound effects. As stones took down a giant, here are 40 little decisions we can make today to deeply enrich our lives:

1. To keep up with yourself, not with the Joneses.

2. Letting compassion speak louder than criticism.

3. Saying “Oh well!” more than “What if?”

4. Keeping an eye out for serendipity.

5. Listening to intuition, not just logic.

If you think of your worries and problems as quicksand, the more you struggle and push against them, the more you will become stuck. You simply cannot create change by pushing against what you do not want because it only engages you further into what you do not want.

Even if someone came along to save you from the quicksand, if you were struggling and resisting, it would be very difficult for them to pull you out. If you surrendered, and put your focus point on a place that was far more in line with where you wanted to be, the assistance would be able to move you to a new, much comfortable space quite quickly.

Do you ask for help and then continue to resist? Why not try asking for help and then surrendering to it, knowing it will always take you somewhere more desirable? Struggle and resistance can never get you where you wish to go, Dear Ones. Surrender and flow allows your helpers, your guides, your highest self, the masters, the universe to assist you, the fastest, most efficient way possible. ~Archangel Gabriel

In his book, Above Black: Project Preserve Destiny – Insider Account of Alien Contact and Government Cover-Up (1998), Sherman revealed how he was recruited and trained in a way unknown to his normal ELINT military trainers. The training occurred over the same period as his normal training in ELINT. When he was subsequently assigned to the NSA, Sherman worked on a specially designed computer where he could perform both his normal ELINT work, and also work as an intuitive communicator with EBEs.

This is how Sherman describes, in his 1998 book, the rational for hiding deep black alien related projects under the umbrella of a less classified program:

When someone is assigned to an alien project they are also assigned to the collateral black mission (cover mission). One of the reason for this is if someone were to reveal any alien information, by extension, they would most likely reveal something about the cover project and it would be on this basis that someone would be prosecuted for divulging classified information. (p. IX)

Sherman’s claim of working within a deep black project hidden within a less classified NSA project has been corroborated by the leaked NSA documents. “Sentry Eagle” operates precisely in the way described by Sherman’s account of his time working in two classified programs for the NSA from 1991 to 1994.
