Friendship is one of the best aspects of life. That said, certain friends are certainly much better than others. A real friend and fake friend can be hard to distinguish, but they are very different! Real friends are people you can go to for anything. You know they will always be on your side, through thick and thin. Fake friends might as well be scum of the Earth for all the support they will give you. Use this guide to figure out if your friends are your real friends!

1. Support you in all your endeavors

A real best friend will encourage you with anything that you try! Whether it be taking up square dancing, or changing your career path, a real friend will be there every step of the way.

2. Love your dorky personality

We all have those dorky things we do on a regular basis. A real friend loves those things!...

There are over 400 phytonutrients that exist in Hemp Plants. Hemp is often mistaken for its cannabis cousin, marijuana, even though smoking an entire garbage bag of hemp would not produce an altered state of consciousness. Optimal brain health is achieved when linoleic acid (LA) and alpha linoleic acid (ALA) are consumed in a ratio only naturally found in hemp.

The brain also has a requirement for cannabinoids, which regulate most of the major functions of the body including alertness, emotions, inflammation and cancer defences. The brain can make a small number of its own cannabinoids, but as 4,000 years of history and decades of scientific research indicate, it operates optimally when supplied with dietary cannabinoids, such as those found in hemp.

COHESIVE PRAYERS   What we suggest is before you pray for anyone or any event, hydrate your body with pure water, go within, tune into your Higher Self, then ask if the prayer you are about to request is appropriate. If you get a positive answer, then call in the Higher Self of all those involved and ask the same question. Often, you will find that it is not your business.

Another area that needs clarity is in group prayers. We will use the example of “world peace.” The group spokesperson states the intention, “We are gathered here to focus on creating world peace.” Yet rarely are the people involved setting off cohesive thoughtforms. Some of the people in the circle may be visualizing the rounding up of government officials they label as criminals, perhaps even seeing them suffer horrendous deaths. Others may be visualizing armed troops moving into foreign countries, gathering up and torturing terrorists. Others may be visualizing everyone on Earth filled with peace, getting along with everybody and living happily ever after. This is a fairy tale and not a good solution, either, for the results generally are that people give up their voice to keep peace at all costs.

We see this type of incoherency repeatedly in your gatherings. We suggest you take care of yourself first, so you can better understand how peace feels and how to release judgment. Until you have a firm grasp of unconditional love and inner peace for yourself, your prayers will be skewed by your misunderstanding, which many times are erroneous and lead to more confusion.

Let Me repeat Myself. How lovely is a day with you in it. Heavenly, I may say.

If you had any idea of the depth and breadth with which My heart is filled by even the thought of you, you would be one of the most joyous people in the world. You would not know of desolation, loneliness, or ever feeling unloved, for you would fly high as you have some idea of how loved you are. You would then be able to start loving yourself with all the love in Heaven and on Earth. You would love. You would not know how not to love. You would not know how to begin to feel unloved. You would have the basis from which to love everyone as yourself. Oh, yes, you have always loved everyone always as you loved yourself. You never loved yourself enough. Now you will do honor to everyone and the world with your love that will fall abundantly from you like apple blossoms. Your love will reach far and near.

What else will I repeat to ensure that you hear Me?

I will repeat: Let go, let go. Let go of everything that holds you back, and there is a lot, beloveds.

Letting go is not so easy for you. Let go of grudges and being right. Let go of any hanging on to how something has to be. It doesn’t have to be any way but what it is. Let go of the idea that you owe anyone anything or that anyone owes you anything. Let go of necessity for possessions. Let go of the idea that you know better than others. From others, even from those you see as less worthy or less fortunate than you, you have something to gain. Let go of everything but love. There is nothing else.

Shawn Thornton developed pineal gland cancer while he was attending art school. (Don’t be sad, he got better.) While he had cancer, he created a series of paintings that will just take your breath away.

As his cancer progressed, his art became more and more complex and beautiful.

Some people believe that the pineal gland is the seat of consciousness and is tied to mysticism, spirituality and DMT. Some say Thornton’s paintings look a bit like DMT trips. Check out some of his work below!
