In Norse mythology, the Norns (Old Norse Nornir) are female beings who create and control fate. This makes them the most terribly powerful entities in the cosmos – more so than even the gods, since the gods are subject to fate just like any and all other beings.
Remember the source of Love. A loving action is all you need to begin the process. Reach out with a simple first step.
I pause and remember those I have left behind, my lost loves, and broken relationships. I will be brave and take a step toward healing the past. I will reach out with silent love but will expect nothing. For I know the most important mending needs to take place in my own heart. Looking back, I am filled with gratitude. For the good we had I am filled with joy. I will give myself all of the love that I ever needed. I will heal the past and I will be free.
And the Gryphon added, “Come, let’s hear some of your adventures.”
“I could tell you my adventures – beginning from this morning,” said Alice a little timidly; “But it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
In this lovely moment, Alice is being asked to recount her adventures for the Gryphon who longs to hear them and is genuinely interested. Alice would love to share, too. But, she knows if she talks a great deal about what has happened and where she is from, she will never truly be able to move forward and find out who she is now that she has changed and is within the world of Wonderland.
The Gryphon wants her to share so she can be entertained, and perhaps get to know her a little better. But for Alice, the thought of reliving the past is no good, as it will not help him know her, as she has changed too much. And therefore, her history is not a way to true friendship. Perhaps this is the same for you. Focus on creating new memories, on sharing experiences, on getting to know someone and letting them know you in the present, through observation and conversation. Accept that you have changed.
As we change, the simple telling of who we were and what we did, is sometimes not as powerful as sharing who we are becoming and experiencing new adventures right in the heart of the precious present moment. Yes, we can share our past adventures and histories, but perhaps you were quite a different person then. So, consider adventuring forth and fully experiencing the present with people you have connected with. Your past will spill out of you, when the time is right for the sharing of such things.
You are more than your past. You have evolved and changed. Sharing your history is only to share who you once were. You are no longer the same person.
Those “rewriting history” should know by now that stating “I will fight you until the end” will never win a battle.
When we fight against something, we give our power and energy to it. The key is to remove self and all sources of energy that can be harvested, and allow the conflict to simply dissipate.
That which is self-sustaining will support itself, individually and collectively.
They still believe, and rightfully so, the masses of humanity are asleep and have no clue what energy does, or how it works.
BTW ~ they are still calling it his-tory. Which says all there is to be said about this rewriting ….. being done by the same violator dominators as before.
It is sad to me really… I thought being here was going to help. I really did. I believed my King …. and truth be known, I still do.
I’m lacking awareness of the current scenario and the attacks keep coming.
The virus caught me and has attacked my heart chakra. Feeling a little off. But as usual during these attacks, I will be resilient through them, endure it, and move on.
The actual new story of humanity should read,
“I will endure you until the end, at which time you shall be cut off from all access to all energies belonging to Primordial Light of Source Creation … You made your bed. And I allowed it.”
There is a mythic woman, much aligned throughout history, whose name means ‘all gifted.’ Pandora lives within us as our curious nature, yearning to conquer chaos, evil and darkness with the light of knowledge. She is the hopeful voice of our soul that asks the questions and, in doing so, triggers the process that brings answers. Sometimes it is through uncomfortable learning that we find our treasure. Pandora reminds us that the process of learning can take us to places that seem like the end of our world and yet, all is not lost. Even now, the light within you is stirring for new revelation, new life and new adventure.
When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the World, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away timid adventurers. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As you advance along your journey, prepare to encounter all types of people and circumstances. There will be those who start off as allies but turn out to be otherwise. There will be those you judge as enemies who become the greatest instigators of your spiritual growth. If you know in advance that even the enemies you encounter are allies in disguise, you can relax. So, relax – as there really is no such thing as a true enemy. When you reflect on your life, you realize the most difficult challenges taught you the most valuable lessons and have made you more resourceful and resilient than you would otherwise be. Revel in the reality that you are who you are today, precisely because of the challenges you’ve faced and aced.
Mantra :: I revel in the blessings discovered in the most unlikely people and places.

Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always present, alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Those who have made the biggest impact on the planet, in addition to feeling extremely passionate, felt resistance, too. Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Joan of Arc, Sacajawea, and Marie Curie are but a few. Every hero and shero in history has had moments of self-doubt, even paralyzing fear, before doing the courageous act that became their legacy. They felt the fear but did what they were called to do anyway. For this reason, you need not be detoured when you bump against uncertainty. In fact, doubt helps to chisel the ego out of the way, which is key to accomplishing a mission of merit, and becoming a channel of grace a higher purpose can move through. Know that you are in great company, and when you are ready, you’ll get up and go, like the great ones who came before you, upon whose shoulders you now stand.
Celebration and/or integration You are on track There is strength in numbers, you are never alone Self-love is needed Be in harmony with Self
Mantra :: Like the heroes before me, I feel the doubt, and follow through anyway!

Accurate, painted as if they were a lot like us, loved flowers, children and fell in love.
They lived over much of Europe, from 400,000 years ago unto 30,000 years ago. They interbred with us, so they live on, but are not found as a distinct species.
We coexisted with them for 10 or 20 millennia and our genes say we mated “freely,” as one geneticist put it.
At the high point, our genes were 10 percent Neandertal.
Their brains were bigger than ours and they were stronger and hardier. They were here for 100,000 years before the first traces of us. They are not our ancestors but a cousin species to us. We both came from homo erectus, who appeared 1.9m years ago.
All 3 species coexisted for 150,000 years. H. erectus left Africa and colonized Europe and Asia long before Neandthals and us.
The genes for white skin and blue eyes don’t appear till 8,000 years ago.

Son: “Dad, I think I’m old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?.”
Dad: “Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?”
Brief pause…
Son: “Yes, I want to know”
Dad: “Ok, I’ll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus”
Son: “Really?”
Dad: “Yes, really, but he’s not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That’s just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he’s not a person at all; he’s an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn’t thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
“When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she’d never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that.”
Son: “Oh.”
Dad: “So now that you know, you’re part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?”
