Every time you are tempted to react to the same old circumstances in the same old way, ask yourself, “Do I want to be a prisoner of the past, or a pioneer of the future?”  

1. True happiness comes from within, not from someone else.  Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.
2. Don’t choose the one who is beautiful to the world, choose the one who makes your world beautiful.

We understand that many of you are trying to shift into balance and healthier boundaries. We have a simple suggestion. To find the healthy boundary in any given situation, simply ask yourself, “Am I willing to accept as much as I am giving?” Or, “Am I willing to give as much as I am receiving?” You might also wish to stop and ask yourself, “Is this coming from the heart? Will it lead to resentment? Is it truly empowering to ALL involved?” This takes the focus off what other people are doing, and keeps it about you, and each specific situation. Of course, as with all things, the changes you seek always begin within. ~Archangel Gabriel

Forgive the shameless reference to the Led Zeppelin song but the title is pertinent to what I’m writing about today.

We all have different perspectives of what we see, hear and ultimately, choose to believe but what is real? What is true?
How can we trust that what we are told by our family, our friends, the media and most importantly, what our government tells us is the truth? Most of us will have a hard time accepting the fact that our close friends and family members would lie to us, but what if they are just misinformed? What if we were all misinformed and have been for a very long time?

I contend that a good 90% of everything we have ever been taught to be true by any authority or official source of information has either been: altered to support a certain viewpoint, a particular ideology, a religious or political agenda, or is an outright lie.

You have heard it said that “history is written by the winners”.
Well, in any major war or conflict where a clash of ideologies has been the point of contention, the loser’s voice of dissent is either marginalized or silenced. When we consider what we are told and why we should believe it, is the mere propagation and repetition of the “official story” really sufficient to deem it credible and truthful? Certainly not! That’s why this misinformation is called Propaganda!

AngelicView: All I can say is “WOW!” about this NDE! This is a must-read. This man was in a motorcycle accident. This is one of the most perceptive and articulate NDE’s I have ever come across. This is just an excerpt of the original, so if you’d like to read the rest (mainly, I started posting about the middle to the end), then hit the link at the bottom.

As I became aware of this state of complete peace and to recognize it for what it was I started to look around me. As I did this I became aware of something. All around me, at near distances (though even the near distances were ‘far’) and at what I sensed as far distances there were lights. These lights I took to be stars. That is to say that here we would ordinarily refer to them as stars. Their colors were more various than I have ever seen in an ordinary night-sky. But there, these ‘stars’ were something else too. They were beings and they were utterly conscious. The entire universe, in which I was now lying and beginning to observe, was completely and utterly aware. All of it is conscious. I mean that – all of it, the very space itself is permeated with consciousness. There was nothing there that was not conscious. This did not seem to surprise me in any way at all. I did not regard it as curious or as bizarre in any way. Far from it, I seemed to regard this as in some way entirely natural – which is the nearest expression that I can think of that even remotely points in the correct direction – and my feeling sense was of like ‘being home and now completely safe’. Every single burden that I ever knew was utterly gone. In fact in many ways it was only while here and feeling myself in this state that I realized just how burdened I was.

If you choose one thing to be, be stellar! If you choose one thing to say, say a kind word. If you choose one way to act, act honestly and with integrity. If you choose one thing to do, choose to live life the way The Universe meant you to live your Earth-plane existence, perfectly! ~ Creator
