The classic battle between light and dark is being played out right before our eyes. Remember all those movies where you were cheering for the hero(es) to win, and for goodness to prevail?

In our current reality, sometimes it is difficult to know who is on the side of the light. There are many forces at play, and there is a lot of double talk that makes it confusing.

Now is the time to use your own power of discernment. Look for the signs and the clues to find the truth. Listen to your gut. Here is an essential spiritual guiding thought: Something that truly has your best interests at heart does not want to control you. Control is rooted in dark energy. Energy of the light does not try to dominate and diminish. Light desires expansion, growth, and enlightenment, fulfilling its infinite potentiality.

Now, who has the best interest of you and the rest of humanity at heart?

A Different Reality

Just why is it
that we don’t
have a happier
world than this?

What are
we waiting for?
Someone
to give us
permission,
someone to
tell us how
to do it,
someone who’ll do
it for us.

Those some
ones aren’t
coming.

I want a
different reality,
I believe
that must
be possible,
and I want to
help build it.

How about you?
