No truer and more important words have ever been spoken. Let’s stop looking outside ourselves for solutions, freedom, peace and happiness.

Being present means having a direct, undistracted experience of the present moment. This is our natural way of being in the world. However, most of us have developed a habit of regularly leaving the present moment by getting lost in our minds. We regularly leave the state of presence by going into memories of the past, fantasies of the future, and concepts, ideas, evaluations, judgments, and beliefs developed over this and other lifetimes. Over 35 years ago, my ment...or taught me that intellectualization is our major defense against reality. By getting lost in our thinking mind we avoid confronting reality. It is only our mind that can remove us from a full, accurate access to the present moment. While the mind is a wonderful thing, be vigilant of how readily you’re seduced into the subtle trappings of the complexities of the mind in unhelpful ways. While the mind can be very captivating, true understanding, peace, and joy are only to be found in the direct experiencing of reality moment to moment. - Jim Strohl

There are those of you who are awake and aware who realize that this is a time for you to do more than just watch and wait to see what happens. You have an opportunity to take humankind with you on a journey that is all about getting everyone to remember to check in with their hearts and to remember that we are all one. This time that you are in now is about showing others the way by demonstrating how it is done. You are not there to convert anyone. You are there to demon...strate to everyone what is possible when you are in alignment with what is going on energetically. There are so many at this time who are looking for anyone to set a good example, an example of how to live in a time that seems so chaotic and so filled with people who are at each other’s throats. Rise above the divisiveness, the pettiness, the resentment, and the rage that is so omnipresent on your world at this time. Show the rest of humanity that it’s possible to rise above it, to thrive even in these tumultuous times, and show everyone else who they are by being more of who you are, which is of course, unconditional love. - From the Arcturian Council by Dan Scranton

Forgiveness True forgiveness of others occurs when we recognize that our experience of them and our reaction to them was created inside of us and then projected outward. Knowing this automatically eliminates condemnation and blame toward another person. In reality, another person or object can never be the "cause" of our feelings. The world we experience outside of us is always the effect of our internal world! Our belief in separation, along with our projection of our i...nternal experiences onto the outside world, determine what we perceive externally. Of course, after forgiving another we must then forgive ourselves for this error in perception. Acknowledging the innocence of our error will eliminate any guilt and shame that may arise from realizing our error in judging others. These forgiveness experiences efficiently open us to a special form of love which eventually reveals that we are all one in God - one in LOVE. - JES
