“’Religious people, people of faith, with the capital “F,” look at that forest and what do they see? They see trees. Thousands of individual trees standing separate and alone. They may even think of the forest as a dark and forbidding place. But there is more going on than what is obvious. Way more.
“Buried underground lies a vast root system that you would never know existed. It’s this root system that sustains life above ground but, because you can’t see it, you have to take it on trust that it’s there. You must have faith that it’s there. Faith with a small “f.” Of course, when you look at it this way, those thousands of trees are all of a sudden not separate at all. They intricately unified, interconnected and all sprouting from the same source.
“Well, that’s how God is. God is not the trees. He’s the root system operating unseen, providing source energy to feed, coordinate, and join everything together into one big whole. The trees are the product of all the good work that is being put in below ground. They contain the life force that is God which, basically, makes the whole forest a physical manifestation of God’s work.’“ - W.H. Auden
“I, then, would teach you of kindness, of softness in speech, of lightness of heart, of joy of being, of music of the spheres that passes through your bloodstream, your cells, your atoms. Rejoice in the love of God and you will attract to yourself ideas, inventions, teachings, understanding. You will become more patient with yourself and others.
Thus I counsel you, beloved, when the threefold flame is balanced, you ought to be making accelerated strides and increasing power as though the first three of the Elohim were standing beside you and guiding you. When you simply double the size of the threefold flame, which in many is one-quarter of an inch in height—you double that to half an inch and you increase exponentially the power of your being.
It costs you very little to give of yourselves to others. It costs nothing to empty yourself, for God fills you again. Visualize the increase as rings on a tree. Visualize the increase as expansion of consciousness, limitless mind of the Buddha, limitless wisdom.” - Ascended Master Kuthumi
“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin
“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.” – President Thomas Jefferson
“And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights – the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation – the right to breathe air as nature provided it – the right of future generations to a healthy existence?” – President John F. Kennedy
“We need to keep making our streets safer and our criminal justice system fairer – our homeland more secure, our world more peaceful and sustainable for the next generation.” – President Barack Obama
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” - American Indigenous Chief
"Know that you are not alone. That we are with you always and no harm will come to you. It is time for a new beginning. To step into joy. Trust the process. This process of ascension. It is divinely planned. It is perfect and as it should be. Be with what is. All is well. Believe and trust in yourself above all else. You are the source of all creation and that creation, of God, of All-That-Is, the One, the Infinite Creator of all, peace and plenty is your birthright. Abundance of creation is your destiny. You are not alone. Seize this day, this new day that is dawning. Stand fast to what you know inside. A new time has begun on planet Earth and you are part of this new. You are part of this opening of the doorway into the beyond the beyond that is and lies at the heart of God. And as you are one with this energy of infinite creation, so this energy of creation is one with you. And this is the energy of the key of grace. To just BE with that certainty and that knowing that there is no thing that you need to do except to BE. Be with the love that you are eternally. Amen" - Archangel Michael via Judy Satori
