How to communicate Oneness to people who believe they're separate? It's an interesting challenge with no simple answer. I'd like to share the joy of Oneness with everyone, but I have to appeal to their illusion of separation to even begin communication. It makes things rather complicated and confusing to switch back and forth between these different perspectives.

For instance, we talk about God Being Everywhere and Everything, but then we also talk about reaching God. Do you see the problem there? It's a contradiction, though a better word for it would be paradox. How can you reach what's already everywhere? You don't, and "reaching God" is simply a shift in perspective. A realization of God's omnipresence.

To the person that believes they're separate, I can't just tell them God Is Everything and have them really understand what I'm saying. From their perspective, God is clearly not everything. Even if they believe that God Is Everything, it's still different from the Living Experience. Beliefs operate from the paradigm of separation, no need for beliefs in Oneness because Truth is always Present. You know the saying a picture is worth a thousand words? Truth is a deeper vision of Reality, beliefs are just words.

If we act NOW, we can ensure a free, open and equal Internet for the 21 ^st Century. On Wednesday, May 15 the FCC will vote on a proposal to end net neutrality and impose class-based Internet discrimination, but we have the power to stop them.

To ensure the Internet we want, we must take action today; and people need to plan to come to Washington, DC beginning next Wednesday to join in a series of escalating protests that will undermine the legitimacy of the FCC leadership and force them to pay attention to the public interest rather than the interests of mega-corporations.

Already more than a million people have written the FCC in favor of net neutrality and the Commissioners are receiving more than 100 calls per day from citizens. They know the public wants a free, open and equal Internet. Now we have to show them we will revolt if it is taken away from us.

The proposal by Obama appointee, Tom Wheeler , a long-time industry lobbyist and Internet profiteer, will put in place a pay-to-play Internet where the wealthiest will have superior service to the rest of us, where big corporations will have faster websites than independent sites and where free speech is stifled by money...

You are always close to Me, as close as close can be. Only in the world can it seem to you that We are closer or further apart. How you feel makes all the difference in the world to your life. Of course, if you feel abandoned, that doesn’t feel good. It feels much better when you sense Our closeness. Even if you don’t believe in Me, and you doubt Me, don’t think well of Me, would there not be something for you to gain in coming closer to Me?
 
If We were talking about chocolate or cherries, wouldn’t you prefer to have chocolates or cherries close by, available to you?
 
Look at the new equipment that the world has given you so you can talk to those who are on the other corners of the Earth. Think of all the ways you now have to communicate. Of course, you have to purchase them as tools. With Me, there is no need for purchase. I am free. You might say that I come with the territory.
 
Born to Earth means We, you and I,  are automatically connected. We don’t need a hook-up. We are already hooked up. Our communing does rely on your ears. You can imagine putting a little ear phone in your ear or a snazzy big one if you like, or, even, one of those old-fashioned big horns. Of course, you need nothing, yet, if you want, you can think of receiving My thoughts magnified a thousandfold via a loudspeaker. What ultimately works is your pressing your heart to Mine. In truth, Our hearts are conjoined.
 
It is no big deal for you to hear Me. If you can breathe without thought about it, you can hear Me without effort. The only way you can hear Me directly is without any effort. Nature does not struggle for a branch to bear a leaf, does it not?

Dear Ones, trying to “figure something out” rarely works. The reason for that is when you try to figure something out you have stopped all movement. Your mind is spinning around and around in the same energy. It likely does not have enough information – if it did, a decision would be easy.

When you are trying to figure something out, you are using your mind. Your mind is the operating system of your ego self, the part of you that wishes to keep everything the same. Your ego does not embrace growth, expansion or enlightenment. It seeks to keep you small.

The operating system of your soul is your heart. Feel into what you need to decide. Will it bring you joy? Are you trying to please others? If there was no other human being on earth you needed to consider, would your decision be the same? Allow yourself to be the expert of your own unique path!

If you are not sure what to do, surrender! Surrender into the flow for the highest outcome. Choose the path of ease, and the path of joy. Ask your guides and helpers for assistance, for signs and for clarity. Stay true to what you wish to create, knowing that what is for your highest good, must also be for the highest good of all. But most of all, get in touch with what you really feel on a heart level. You cannot find, or create, your heart’s desires if you do not know what they are. ~Archangel Gabriel

I'm not sure I've ever fit in properly with society. For a long time I made the attempt, but I don't think I ever fooled anybody. Going along with societal norms was always rather awkward for me, and even my attempts to fit into the countercultures didn't really work. I was perpetually stuck in some sort of cultural limbo where I never really fit in to any specific groups. Individuals I could connect to, but I always had difficulty with groups.

Throughout the experience there was a word that followed me around, I didn't want to identify with it, but people sure liked to use it to define me. That word is "weird" and when I was trying to fit in with society, it hurt when people called me that. It meant I had failed in my attempts to fit in. Now I don't see the word with such a negative connotation, heck, it's more of a compliment now. It means I'm not a conformist, I don't just ignorantly follow the crowd. I like who I am and I don't try to hide my uniqueness.

Something I eventually recognized is that nobody ever really fits perfectly into any culture. This is why it was far easier for me to connect with individuals, because they could drop their pretenses and just be themselves. I didn't mean anything to society, my opinions didn't matter, so people could behave far more naturally around me without any fear of repurcussions. Everyone is unique, and what it means to be "normal" is just an ideal that only exists in the mind. Nobody really fits perfectly into cultural norms, it's just a mask they put on when dealing with others.

In a world of comparison and conformity, make your own statement. Honor your own truth. Have the courage to be uncommon. ~Author Unknown

As anyone who’s spent any time with me knows all too well, I’ve always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to conformity.

It’s a passion really, one that may have been born as a result of being relentlessly bullied for not fitting in with the “in” crowd when I was a kid, but took on a life of its own as I matured and became aware that the pressure to conform is alive and thriving regardless of age or circumstance.

In fact I have a feeling that more often than we realize the reluctance to pursue growth opportunities is less about those fears we talk about so often – fear of failure, change and success – than it is about the fear of no longer fitting in. After all, when those with whom you spend your time are content where they are, and you suddenly decide to rock the boat by reaching for something more – daring to stand out – that can sometimes make people very uncomfortable, especially if they harbor secret longings of their own they’ve never had the courage to pursue.

Out of this world! The world you live in is out of this world! You stand in light, and light is your whole story. You may be unaware of the light, the extent of the light, yet you are light shining, and so you shine, and so life is, and you are – WE ARE.
 
How are you today? You are light. What are you doing today? You are lighting up the firmament. You, who are True Light, light up a firmament that reflects your light. How blessed is light, and how blessed the light you shine. Even when you feel absorbed by darkness, you are shining light. There is no turning your light off. Your light shines. Shine your light! This is what you do anyway. This is all that you are capable of. This is what you do. Light lights. You light up, and you are light. You are My Light. This is the long and the short of it.
 
Holy is your light. Your purpose here on supposed Earth, this beautiful supposed Earth, is to shine your light. It is not a casual statement to say that you are the Light of World. There is nothing else you can be. You are much more than a glimmer of light. You are light. Hail to the light that My children shine. Self-absorbed in daily life, you may well be unknown to yourself. What a party you attend. What a gala you participate in. You are the light that shines in My eyes. Holy is Our Alliance.
 
On one level of vision, you are dust to dust. On the true level of life, you are Light to Light, and your light burns brightly.
