ISLAMABAD - In his resolve to promote the Islamic modes of doing business, inter alia, Islamic financial services, Zafar-ul-Haq Hijazi, chairman of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), envisaged to promote modarabas as pure Islamic financial institutions.
In this regard, the entire regulatory framework for modarabas was reviewed and the Commission approved the concept paper for structural reforms to implement the concept of "modaraba" in its true spirit as enshrined in the Shariah.
The proposed amendments, inter alia, include introduction of the concept of unlisted modarabas to facilitate new entrants and to help the Islamic financial services industry grow. A new concept of fundraising through issuance of term equity certificates has been introduced to resolve the issue of resource mobilization being faced by modarabas. The characteristics of term equity certificates are akin to the modaraba certificates and structured in line with the overall concept of modarabas.
Furthermore, new limits regarding holding of modaraba company and its related parties in modaraba have been proposed to encourage and maximize equity participation by the public.
The SECP has already suggested other amendments such as empowering the certificate holders of modaraba to hold annual general meeting, appointment of Sharia advisors to ensure Sharia compliance in day-to-day affairs, performance-based remuneration of the "modarib" to incentivize the modaraba company to perform better. Various risk management measures such as capital adequacy ratio and new exposure limit have also been proposed for modarabas engaged in financial services in the larger interest of stakeholders. On the basis of the newly proposed reforms, necessary amendments are being made to the modaraba regulatory framework. It is expected that the suggested amendments would help promote modarabas as pure Islamic financial institutions and providing impetus for the growth of the sector. As, a strong and robust modaraba sector will not only provide greater avenues for investment in Shariah-compliant products, but would also facilitate the development of Islamic debt and equity market.

It was one of those unusually numbered wedding dates — Wednesday, 9/9/09. At 9:00 a.m., I married two very dear people in the ticket lobby of the Oriental Theater — they met while working backstage there, and it was sweetly romantic and evocative.
Then in the evening, I met a couple from Europe along with Les, the concierge from the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. The groom had decided to surprise his bride with an impromptu wedding while on their summer holiday trip to the States, and had made all the arrangements in advance to surprise her.
I was waiting in the Milton Olive park on the lakefront near the water filtration plant — my first time in this little jewel of a park — I think it has the best skyline view ever! The night was dramatic with shifting clouds swallowing, then revealing, the Water Tower and the John Hancock Building. Breathtaking — and the bride said YES! It wasn't an official ceremony since they did not have a license, but it was one of the most romantic moments I've experienced in 500+ weddings!
Looking forward to several very special ceremonies this weekend. Hope you enjoy the lovely weather.

McDonald and Denis to spearhead Scuderia Vittoria challenge at Donington ParkSep 27
Scuderia Vittoria head to the 2.5 mile Donington Park Grand Prix circuit this weekend (29/30 September), with 2011 British GT4 Vice Champions David Mcdonald and Dan Denis returning to the front-runners to spearhead their challenge in the final rounds of the Total Quartz Ginetta GT5 Challenge.
London based Scuderia Vittoria, renowned for their success in the AirAsia Renault Clio Cup and Avon Tyres British GT Championship, have enjoyed a positive start to life in the Ginetta backed championship with Ben Constanduros and Diego Guggiari.
With both drivers faced with other commitments for the final round of the 2012 campaign this weekend however, McDonald and Denis saw this as the perfect opportunity to reignite their successful partnership with Danny Buxton and Tom Ferrier's operation.
McDonald, a former single-seater ace turned GT racer, has already enjoyed an outing in Scuderia Vittoria's Ferrari 458 during the Silverstone Blancpain Endurance Series round this year, and will be looking to steal the show with a brace of victories as he switches to the Ginetta GT5 Challenge for the coming weekend.
"The Total Quartz Ginetta GT5 Challenge is a brilliant championship," said McDonald. "It has a very large grid and it's brilliant to get the opportunity to work with Scuderia Vittoria again."
"Donington Park is a very fast and flowing circuit that really suits my driving style, so although I have never sat in a Ginetta G40, I expect to be challenging for three wins there this weekend."
2009 Caterham Superlight R400 Champion Dennis, who formed the second half of Scuderia Vittoria's GT4 onslaught in 2011, remains equally confident of adding to the team's success at the renowned Leicestershire circuit.
"Donington Park is a circuit that I have always been very strong at," explained Denis. "The championship has shown that it provides some very exciting racing and I can't wait to jump into the car this weekend."
"My aim for the weekend is to be as quick as possible, I've got nothing to lose so I just want to go out there and earn some good results for Scuderia Vittoria this weekend."
For more updates throughout the Donington Park race weekend, please like Scuderia Vittoria's Facebook page or follow @ScudVittoria on Twitter.

So, how to you find the downpayment money to buy your first home? With home prices in the US well into the hundreds of thousands, this means coming up with even a 5% downpayment can be next to impossible for most people, especially the first time home buyer looking to obtain a loan.
Here are some ideas how you can come up with the downpayment money:
Savings: This one's easy - if you have money saved in the bank, most people will use part of all of this money for a downpayment.
Borrow Money: Many people borrow money for a downpayment. They may borrow from a relative, friend or even take a loan from a 401k or 403b retirement plan. If you do decide to "borrow" the downpayment, be sure to review of all the consequences first. For example, if you take a loan from a 401k plan, you may be reducing your future growth in your retirement account if you take a loan.
Sell Stuff on eBay or Craigslist: This was one thing we did when saving for our second home (we didn't know about eBay.com
when we bought our first home). You'd be surprised how many things you have around the house, or even stuff you forgot you had at your parents' house! Try taking stuff you don't need any more and sell it on eBay to make extra cash for your downpayment. You can also try to sell stuff on
Craigslist, which is free and a really easy way to make some extra cash.
Have a Yard Sale: Believe it or not, many people have lots of stuff around their home that they no longer need and you can sell it to make a few extra bucks.
Have Someone Give You Money: Ok, we weren't this lucky :-), but some friends of mine have had relatives give them money for a downpayment on their first homes. I guess it cannot hurt to ask a parent, grandparent or other close person in your life if he or she would be interested in giving you a "gift" to use as your downpayment. You may have to provide documentation of this gift (usually a signed letter from the gift giver) when you apply for a loan/mortgage to show how you obtained these funds.
There is also a program offered by QuickDown.com which is an agency that facilitates the delivery of 501(c)(3) non-profit organization grants or ("gift" funds) to cash challenged home buyers to be used for a downpayment and/or closing costs for purchasing a home. This program is for available in conjunction with first time home buyer loan programs, but you cannot contact QuickDown directly; you must ask your mortgage broker/lender about this program to see if you are eligible.
Another great website to use in conjunction with QuickDown is Grants.gov, which will help with applying for and requesting any type of grants (not just those for first time home buyers).
The IRS will allow a one-time withdrawal of up to $10,000 from a Traditional or Roth IRA without penalty, if you are under age 59 1/2. Certain restrictions apply, so be sure to check out the IRS website for more information.
Check out this article regarding the possibility of using the new tax credit (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) toward a downpayment for your first home. The tax credit is available to qualified home buyers who purchase a home throught mid-2010.
Remember, there are some great first time home buyer programs that offer help with obtaining downpayment money. Check out the State Programs page on this site for more information.
Note: Regarding this topic of downpayment money - All references to the word "downpayment" on this website are written as one word. Although many people do spell it as two words (down payment), many people search online for "downpayment" and think of it as one word. So, for simplicity reasons, I chose to write it as a single word.

2014 BOEBaby Campout
Where: 8-mile Campground Group Campsite, Icicle Creek
It's time once again for the annual BOEBaby Campout! This is THE car camping outing for parents who actually still climb, who would like to climb, who have never climbed but have a spouse/partner who does, and those who have vague recollections of climbing before parenthood struck!
Come hang out for a weekend with fellow and former BOEALPers for a fun time telling stories of past climbs, current plans for climbs, stories of what funny/embarrassing things your child has said or done, funny/embarrassing things your partner has said or done, kid chasing, and possibly even a bit of climbing! Kids range in age from teenagers to babies and the great thing is they tend to run around in a pack at the campground, so the older ones look after each other and only a couple of parents are needed to watch the posse of wee ones. There is actually time to have conversations with some of the other parents – no guarantee they won't be uninterrupted conversations, though.
Bring climbing gear, bicycles for the kids, and swim wear for the pool in Leavenworth and the small beach at the other end of the campground. BOEALPers without children are welcome to attend, as long as you have a high tolerance for noise and chaos and don't mind an early bedtime.
There will be a potluck breakfast Sunday morning consisting of pancakes, fruit, sausage and bacon, juice, and LOTS of coffee. If you want to participate in the breakfast, please RSVP to Steve Behrend (firstname.lastname@example.com).
BOEALPS Spring Campout
WHERE: Bridge Creek Campground Group Site
WHEN: Friday, May 2nd to Sunday, May 4th
DETAILS: BOEALPS has rented the group campsite at Bridge Creek Campground on Icicle Creek Road in Leavenworth Friday and Saturday night.
The club will be providing meat options and fixings for Saturday night only.
Please bring a side or dessert to share for Saturday. Try to bring something a little creative so we don't end up with a thousand bags of chips.
As always; BYOB.
FIRE! We all like a big campfire. We've asked for 1 bundle per carload of people in the past and that has worked well. We can never have too much wood.
In addition to ICC & BCC outing this camp out is a great way to meet members new and old. This is a great opportunity to add a day of climbing and meet new partners.

No trip to the fair is complete without trying to win a cuddly toy and the ones on offer in Fluffy Favourites can deliver some chunky cash prizes too. Created by Eyecon, it's a 5 reel, 25 payline game that comes with a pick me round as well as a free spins bonus where all payouts are trebled. Play, on all devices, from between 25p and £12.50 per spin.
As you'd expect from a slot called Fluffy Favourites, the design here has a cutesy feel – set against a plain green backdrop with a big top and rainbow in the background, the reels include a selection of cuddly toy creatures.
Look out for goldfish and ducks which pay up to 100 coins per payline, rhinos and giraffes which award up to 200 coins and tortoises and lions which pay up to 300 coins. Next come the pandas and monkeys which pay up to 500 coins and the purple dragon which offers up to 1,000. Best of all is the hippo – land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these and you'll pocket 10, 100, 500 or 5,000 coins (or 200 times your stake).
The pink elephant is the game's wild – it substitutes for all other symbols apart from the claw. Whenever the wild forms part of a winning combination, the payout is doubled. Fluffy Favourites comes with 2 bonus features which are described as follows:
Free Games feature – land 3, 4 or 5 of the pink elephant wild on the same spin and you'll trigger this feature and with it 15, 20 or 25 free spins. All payouts during the free spins round benefit from a 3x multiplier and are trebled. You can also retrigger the feature a maximum of 15 times giving you a potential total of 400 free spins.
Toybox Pick feature – this pick'em round is triggered by landing 3 or more of the claw on the same spin. You'll then be taken to a new screen where you'll use a classic fairground grabber to win try and pick up cuddly toys and their attached prizes. Each pick can give you prizes of up to 100 times your total stake!
We're not usually big fans of cuddly toy themed slots but this is better than we expected – the design is nothing to write home about. The features aren't bad though. The double wild wins offer base game opportunities and both the features give decent winning prospects.
If you can see past the cutesy theme, then there's some decent action on offer here. Get lucky with those 3x multipliers in the free spins and these cuddly animals can deliver some surprisingly entertaining action. It's a highly volatile game with potential wins of 400 times your stake on each spin. I also recommend you try the sequel, Fluffy Too, which is also high variance.

Thriving with culture, creativity and a love of learning, not only are they attractive to retirees, but living in a college town can be a smart financial move too. Compared with life in a big city, you'll save on everything from housing to recreation. Theaters, galleries and adult-education courses outside the university, not to mention excellent health care and reasonable living costs prove that there's something about living near a campus that stimulates the mind and spirit.

When a Connecticut resident is considering bankruptcy options, one of the most important considerations is how that choice could affect retirement savings. Many people spend the bulk of their adult lives setting aside money to fund retirement. They are concerned that seeking bankruptcy protection could jeopardize their savings, leaving them unable to retire as planned. The following information is offered in the hopes of clearing up the impact that Chapter 7 bankruptcy can have a 401(k) account.
How Chapter 7 bankruptcy can impact a 401(k) account
Study focuses on reasons behind need for debt relief
Virtually all Connecticut residents have struggled with debt at some point in their lives. Whether debt comes from an unexpected medical issue, a college education or simply the need to replace a car engine, it can be stressful to live with the knowledge that those bills are out there, just waiting to be repaid. Many people are not even aware of how they got into serious debt problems. They seek debt relief services, which can relieve some of the pressure. That said, unless a consumer is fully aware of how he or she got into trouble in the first place, there is a significant likelihood that high debt will return in the years to come.
The best debt management tips and techniques for young adults
Not so many decades ago, most young people had little concern about debt and how to manage it. Debt was something that came later in life, once someone settled down, purchased a home and started a family. Today, however, many people in their 20s are already saddled with high levels of debt, and are looking for a way out. The following tips can help young Connecticut residents with debt management, helping them to enter their 30s free of a heavy financial burden.
A different approach to life after successful debt management
For many Connecticut families, managing debt is a top priority, and one that can change the course of family finances for the better. In some cases, it takes years of debt management efforts to reach a state of equilibrium, where paying down remaining debt is not only possible, but easy to work into the family's budget. For these households, looking for ways to reduce spending in the future is an important part of preserving financial stability.
Why personal bankruptcy is an option for senior citizens
Many Americans were raised on the belief that if they worked hard and followed the rules, then financial success would be a guaranteed outcome. In reality, however, things are not quite that simple. There are many ways that senior citizens in Connecticut and other areas of the nation can encounter financial turmoil after spending their entire early and middle adulthoods playing by the rules. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome high levels of debt, including but not limited to filing for personal bankruptcy.

How to recognize the link between poor performance and alcohol and/or drug abuse
The progression of the disease of addiction
What types of assistance may be availableObjectives of Training
Employees should be familiar with the Drug-Free Workplace Policy and aware of the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse. Employees should understand:
The Drug-Free Workplace Policy accomplishes two major things:
Are employees required to notify supervisors of drug-related convictions?
Does the program include drug testing?
What are the consequences for violating the policy?
How is employee confidentiality protected?
Organizational image and community relations
Abuse: Using a substance to modify or control mood or state of mind in a manner that is illegal or harmful to oneself or others. Potential consequences of abuse include:
A number of individuals occasionally use or abuse alcohol or drugs without becoming addicted, but for many, abuse continues despite repeated attempts to return to more social or controlled use and leads to addiction. Addiction is the irresistible compulsion to use alcohol and drugs despite adverse consequences. It is characterized by repeated failures to control use, increased tolerance and increased disruption in the family.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell early on whose use may lead to abuse and/or addiction. For one in ten people, abuse leads to addiction.
Addiction to alcohol and other drugs is:
Chronic – Once you have developed an addiction, you will always have to deal with it. You may manage to stop using alcohol or other drugs for significant periods of time, but for most, the disease doesn't disappear but rather goes into remission. Should you attempt to resume 'normal' use, you will rapidly return to addictive, out of control use and abuse.
Progressive – Addiction gets worse over time. With some drugs, the decline is rapid; with others, like alcohol, it can be more gradual, but it does get worse. Alcohol and other drugs cause a biochemical change in the nervous system that can persist even after the substance leaves the blood. Repeated use causes progressive damage.
Primary – Addiction is not just a symptom of some underlying psychological problem, a developmental stage or a reaction to stress. Once your use of alcohol or drugs has become an addiction, the addiction itself needs to be medically treated as a primary illness.
Terminal – Addiction to alcohol and/or other drugs often leads to disease and possibly death.
Characterized by Denial – One of the most disturbing and confusing aspects of addiction is that it is characterized by denial. The user denies that his/her use is out of control or that it is causing any problems at home or work. The user often seems to be the last to know that his/her life is out of control. There are effective strategies employed by professionals for helping to break through this denial, which must be overcome before treatment can take place.
Some people abuse alcohol and drugs as part of a self-destructive lifestyle. Other people start to use substances to seek relief from depression or crisis in their lives. Although some fortunate individuals never develop serious problems and use diminishes or ceases once the precipitating events change, others develop a serious problem before they even realize it.
Abuse of alcohol and other drugs affects people:
Emotional effects of substance abuse:
Families and coworkers can have a significant impact on substance use and abuse.
One way is through "enabling" – an action that someone takes to protect the person with the problem from the consequences of his or her actions. Unfortunately, enabling actually helps the person to NOT deal with his or her problem.
Blaming – Blaming yourself for the person's continued substance abuse or getting angry at the individual for not trying hard enough to control his/her use or to get help.
Controlling – Trying to take responsibility for the person by throwing out his/her drugs, cutting off the supply or trying to minimize the impact by moving him/her to a less important job; and
Threatening – Saying that you will take action (ceasing to cover up, taking formal disciplinary action) if the employee doesn't control his/her use, but not following through.
Excuses – Having increasingly improbable explanations for everything that happens.
Apology – Being very sorry and promising to change. ("It won't happen again.")
Diversions– Trying to get you to talk about other issues in life or in the workplace.Examples of traps family members and coworkers may fall into:
Innocence – Claiming he/she is not the cause of the problems you observe, but rather the victim. ("It isn't true." "I didn't know." "Everyone is against me.")
Anger – Showing physically intimidating behavior, and blaming others. ("It's your fault.")
Pity – Using emotional blackmail to elicit your sympathy and guilt. ("You know what I'm going through. How can you do this to me now?"); and
Tears – Falling apart and expressing remorse upon confrontation.
All drugs, including alcohol, chemically alter the mind and body. As a result, use of drugs and/or alcohol can impair motor skills, hinder judgment, distort perception, decrease reaction time and interfere with other skills necessary to do a job safely and efficiently. Specific drugs of abuse include those listed on the next slide, and all have their own set of signs and symptoms.
(If you would like more information on the signs and symptoms of any of these specifically, please contact Personnel and we will provide you with a brochure.)
To conclude, we hope this presentation has shed some light on the impact of drug and alcohol abuse on the workplace, the value of drug-free workplace programs, and where employees struggling with substance problems can turn for help.
Remember, additional information on drug-free workplaces is available on the U.S. Department of Labor's Working Partners for an Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace program Web site. www.dol.gov/workingpartners

Editor's Note: The following story about young pilot Brody Roderick of Acushnet was written by his mother and father, Karen Roderick-Bates and Michael Bates.
Editor's Note: The following story about young pilot Brody Roderick of Acushnet was written by his mother and father, Karen Roderick-Bates and Michael Bates.
Brody Roderick was introduced to flying by means of an introductory flight lesson for his thirteenth birthday by Colonial Air at the New Bedford Airport. He had always talked about wanting to fly, so we thought this would be a great way to find out. Brody seemed to be hooked on flying instantly, so the journey began. Brody began taking flying lessons slowly at first, spread out about one lesson every month. The training then progressed more frequently over the next three years.
During this time, Brody transitioned from Middle School into High School and decided to attend Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester majoring in electrical. While in high school, Brody managed to make the honor roll, play on the golf and baseball teams, and continue with his flight training at Colonial Air. Last summer, he attended a week-long summer program sponsored by the FAA called ACE Camp (Aviation Career Education) hosted by Bridgewater State College.
During his third year of flight training, Brody was approaching his sixteenth birthday. This is also the minimum age requirement to fly solo. Brody's flight instructor, Steve Cockrell, told us that he was ready to go solo. He then planned for him to actually complete the solo flight either on his sixteenth birthday, or very soon there after.
Brody turned 16 on Nov. 9 and managed to complete his first solo flight one week later on Nov. 17. Three "touch and go's" without anyone else in the plane with him. Not bad for a young man who just got his driver's permit one week earlier — which still does not even allow him to drive a car alone.
Obviously, everyone in the entire family is extremely proud of Brody's accomplishment at such a young age. We all wish him the best of luck with his future flight training and plans. He has a few more hurdles to get past before he obtains his private pilot's license, but he seems to be on the right track.
Brody plans on continuing his flight training with the goal of obtaining a Private Pilot Rating before he finishes high school. He then plans on attending college, majoring in aviation with the goal of becoming a commercial pilot someday.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Shortened, abridged, or curtailed.'the curtal frock of sunbright cotton'
- 'A 'curtal [shortened] sonnet' (G.M. Hopkins) consists of a sestet followed by a quatrain and a half-line tailpiece.'
A dulcian or bassoon of the late 16th to early 18th century.
- 'Anyone who blew you away with their chops on cornetto, curtal or theorbo?'
- 'The lowest of the four orchestral woodwinds, it was developed from the Renaissance curtal or dulcian in the mid-17th century as part of the general reconstruction of all woodwind instruments that took place in France.'
- 'The new instrument was called either a curtal or a dulcian in England, and it became very popular as a general purpose bass instrument, even in refined settings where the higher shawms were considered inappropriate.'
- 'The curtal was created by "folding" the shawm in half.'
- 'The result is a programme of genuine old fashioned carols, songs and dances, performed on shawms, sackbut, recorders, flutes, curtals, lutes, guitars, harp, bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy.'
Late 15th century (denoting a short-barrelled cannon): from French courtault, from court 'short' + the pejorative suffix -ault. In both English and French the noun denoted various items characterized by something short, especially an animal with a docked tail, which probably gave rise to the adjective sense.

Freedom from Fear to Ascend and Serve
This was a message from Archangel Michael followed a question I had posed to my Help from Heaven group on Facebook. I was curious as to whether there was a desire to include a segment in our group clearing call addressing the cause and effect of darkness regarding the missile threat made by North Korea.
Your Army of God awaits you. Your concerns about addressing North Korea threat are valid. Putting one's head in the sand does not make a situation go away. Is it your battle to fight? Not really. That is the issue at hand here really.
The situation with North Korea is real. Is it a real world concern for you? Not really. You are above and beyond where you sit as a multi-dimensional being of light.
However, that does not speak for the average person who would be affected. Most don't operate from the place where they are not affected by darkness directly or indirectly. All thoughts of negativity have origins in darkness. By clearing the cause, you help eliminate the darkness and the negativity it creates.
It is the programming within the minds of man that is creating the problems people are experiencing these days. All problems are caused from a separation from Source. When separate from Source, darkness is at hand or has an opening to enhance that separation.
All those on the planet today are affected by darkness – bar none. It may not look like a blatant attack but all imbalance, all lack, any suffering, etc. have remnants of the darkness that have influenced those situations.
Many problems are created or enhanced by denial. Denial of self and self empowerment, denial of God, one's own worth, etc. play a hand in here. But, the allowance and acceptance of oneness with God, taking a stand in eliminating the cause as well as the effects of darkness can make a big difference.
If everyone took a stand and joined with you in taking responsibility for bringing closure to this era of darkness, it would end sooner.
The Army of God awaits your decision as to who would like to join you in moving up the timeline toward that end.
We all love your commitment to the light.
Archangel Gabriel on Fear Blocking Freedom
On Wednesday, June 29, 2017, I opened a session to address attachments to someone who was a member of a secret society. The vision of darkness that came from that connection was enormous. In follow up, Archangel Gabriel came forth to share a perspective on fear, which is blocking freedom, as well as enormous possibility.
"The work yesterday was monumental. It was of the utmost importance because it changed the course of the world and the destiny it held at the time before the clearing. The world was still in a downward spiral with the course of events taken place as of late. Although you have done much clearing, the darkness continues to take hold as the programming within the hearts and minds of humanity is like glue creating clogs in the wheel. Nothing is going smoothly with the delays created by darkness in their tactics to undermine. You can do so much and then darkness takes a stand and creates a new tactic.
Most of those in power are coming from fear of losing their position, their worth, their power, and control. Every time you loosen their reigns, they begin to panic and try something else. Overall, we are winning, as we are meant to, but not without a fight that is occurring in the marketplace and across all sectors of the planet trying to hold what they know in place out of fear of the unknown.
When people begin to let go of their fear, they can begin lessening their grip of control. Control ultimately blocks people in ways unseen. Limited beliefs about possibilities even exist for those in power and control. They are holding on for fear of loss. If people really knew God and how abundant, he and this world was, they would let go. But, on the other side of the coin is the issue of fear of worthlessness based on their conscious sins against man. They know how often and badly they have manipulated man. If they believe in God and let go, their fear of God will take over. Their control is also a way to help block him out and stall his punishing of them. It is a vicious cycle under which we operate here.
All needs to be reminded that God is not to be feared. As it is darkness who created the fear of God. If you fear God, how can you have an intimate relationship with him and how can you trust him? The fear of God being a punishing God was one that was put in place by those in power at the time with darkness working through them to manipulate humanity and all they could.
The power they wielded in the early days set the tone for eons of unfoldment. It is the undoing of humanity now. But, the darkness that created those challenges have largely been removed. leaving behind the programs that constrict the mass consciousness from realizing that which is possible for all to experience at this time.
True freedom comes from being fearless within. True freedom comes from the ability to fully self express. Neither of those experiences are common place yet. Fear still permeates the hearts and minds of most. It knows not class, nor culture, nor religion, etc.
What people need understand at this time, is the responsibility to change the world lies in their hands and their hands alone. God can do just so much. The rest is up to their free will choices. Each time someone empowers the dark, the lesser of two evils, etc., they are still aligning with the dark. Until the day when people choose the light and highest path, they will continue to succumb to the temptations of darkness that create obstacles to the light.
Once the light has the power, magic happens and infinite possibilities become accessible. The fear to letting go of the dark nature is scary because the unknown is just as scary. They don't trust God because God has been maligned from the beginning. He never brought about a plague nor will he bring about a plague.
So many are frightened of the coming end of times but they know not of what they speak. The end is here already – the end of darkness that has plagued them. The darkness is what they need turn their back upon and not God. However, it has been the other way all along. People turned their backs on God and aligned with darkness instead. And, where has that gotten them? It is taken them down a path of destruction, war, pestilence, and death. The Four Horsemen as you have been forewarned are all the alignments taken place thus far with darkness. If, however, someone chooses the light and aligns with God, all rise above those dynamics.
The Four Horsemen represent what darkness brings to the table. But, each time someone chooses a negative and lesser, greedier, choice out of lack and fear, they are choosing the path of darkness.
These threats of the apocalypse and end of times are fear-based teachings to prevent man from living into their best selves, owning their place in the world aligned with the highest light and greatest potential available to them.
The diminishment of the self, which has occurred over time, with every threat and fear, has disempowered man to the place of uselessness. They know who they are, and that God, their Creator, lies within. That the power of God can work through them. But, they continue to play small allowing others to dictate the world of possibilities available to them. If they would only learn how truly powerful they were, and that kindness does win, they won't as easily succumb to the controls and influences of others looking out for themselves.
God truly looks out for all his children equally and wants everyone to win and experience life to the fullest without measure.
The time to let go of fear is paramount for freedom to occur."
St. Paul Asks You For Forgiveness
During a session with a client on Friday, June 2, 2017, I had to clear a past-life of a beheading. St. Paul appeared in the session. It turned out to be his lifetime we were guided to clear. He has come up for this client before but apparently it was now time to complete clearing for him. He wanted the opportunity to clear between him and all he had ever harmed. We included the concept of the 'sins of the father upon the children' as well. We cleared all guilt, shame and regret carried regarding the lifetime as Saul of Tarsus and later when his name changed to Paul.
He said that within his heart of hearts he always wanted to serve God and when thinking he was doing the right thing, many people got hurt because there were misrepresentations about what was right when serving God.
In this lifetime, this individual is not following her calling out of fear of harming people because of making a mistake when not realize she might be following the wrong guidance. We cleared all mistakes and any misguidance of others.
We have all harmed others because we didn't know better. We sometimes learn the error in that karmic lesson associated with the original event and then know better.
The fear of making mistake has been holding her back from knowing of and following her current calling this lifetime. That fear has been keeping her stuck.
One of the things that prompted the clearing was fear that was surfacing after signing up for a weekend program. When I tuned into the location, the karmic connection, with the phrase, "the cross that you bear".
What came through in this session was that they no longer had to suffer from that dynamic.
Paul came through and stood in the office I was doing the clearing in. He added to the array of issues I channeled to include, "Let go of violence and that violence is a solution and the belief system that violence is a solution. The patriarchal society created the concept that violence was a solution. We don't want to perpetuate that." It then prompted me to make sure I would include that and its connections and affects in the monthly group clearing call I was doing this Saturday.
During our phone session, Paul began to share the following message audibly through me. There is a snippet of audio of my conversation with my client during the session with the message from Paul following it.
I have waited a long time to let this go. This burden I have carried to this day. It is at this day that I am able to let this go thanks to you both. It has worn on my soul for what seems to be an eternity. The guilt, shame and regret you mentioned weighed on my heart and soul more than you realize. I thank you both for setting me free of this dynamic. I have hurt so many unknowingly and feel so foolish; lives wasted for an ideal. An idea that was only perpetuated by what we since have learned from a connection to darkness.
There has been much darkness perpetuated through religion. You have no idea. We started the Christian Church based on much darkness not realizing the implications, the ramifications, the far-reaching affects that some choices made, and what darkness was able to implement through us, often well-meaning individuals, who had nothing but desire to do the right thing in service to God, a cause, an ideal. Many of those ideals were tainted by darkness and we were all victimized and we all chose to serve it by our ignorance. Once you become savvy to the real truths, you then feel guilty, foolish, remorseful, and carry a great a burden of that realization, which is part of the challenge that people are having at this point. The more they are recognizing their own responsibility in world events and the nature of things, they are also feeling very guilty. For there is not one individual on this planet who is not guilty for something. And, all of it ends up coloring how the world ends up appearing to all. I thank you for this work today. I thank you for this call tomorrow. It makes a bigger difference than you realize. I love you both. Thank you for setting us all free.
The following message came through automatic writing when Paul stood next to me in my office when I returned to my computer following the above session.
You honor me with this work and the opportunity to clear this with you this day. I have carried enormous guilt from that lifetime and it has caused me much worry and concern. It has not only caused her [client] harm and has held her back from doing what she came here to do, but that lifetime has caused many issues to this day not realized.
We were taught many misconceptions throughout history regarding what or who God is. We didn't know much of what we shared with others because we were learning ourselves. We preached many things and had no real idea of which we spoke. I killed people in the name of religion although thought I was doing right by God. I had God on my mind all the time but if truth be told often took out my aggressions on others with the excuse of God.
God is good and loving and does not inflict pain and anguish like I did in the name of religion. Religion has it all wrong. If it is not of love, it is not of God. Their rules are not necessarily God's rules. I was a big proponent of Jewish law as well as perpetuated much undoing because of what I thought was appropriate by man's ideas rather than what was actually 'of God'. Religions to this day perpetuate influences of darkness run rampant through it because of ignorance, if not blatant malice.
No one should harm another due to a cause. God does not harm people to make a point. People harm themselves and others due to ideas not of God.
I will leave you with this: Many people adhere to doctrine that is not of the God of which I have come to know. We have all been maligned by the influence of darkness and that era is coming to an end. This new golden age that awaits is most glorious. Clearing these issues will set you all free. Let go of the misperceptions of God. What is mistaken for what God wants is killing people unnecessarily; harming them in ways unforeseen and setting back humanity in ways they do not realize.
God does not kill to bring them to Heaven, to save their soul, or to make a point.
All people on this Earth are God's children. No religion is better than another unless the religion teaches love of all, peace for all, and abundance for all. All are one in God and no one is better than another regardless of religious affiliation.
It is time all come together in peace and the love – the true love – that is within everyone's heart at essence. For, no one is better than another. Until people realize this, they will continue to suffer. Hasn't everyone suffered enough? Isn't it time to return to love and be at peace? Isn't it time?
I love you all. And, I am sorry from the bottom of my heart how I may have perpetuated your pain and suffering because of my own ignorance of this fact. Love and peace are the only answers. Please find it in your heart to forgive me this error as well as forgive yourselves for perpetuating anything less than love and peace.
Please join me now in that oneness with God and join us in love and peace. The sooner you do, the less suffering for anyone as all are one and one for all.
His message was heartfelt and I could definitely feel the emotion behind it. It is a great gift and pleasure that I am able to share his message with you. Hopefully, it will also set you free.
For those of you curious as to the call he referred to, it is always held the first Saturday of every month. If you are interested in learning more about the call and clearing some of these dynamics and others, here is the link to tomorrow's call: http://clearyourpastandchangeyourfuture060317.eventbrite.com
Receiving Gifts from God
Over the years in my work for God, I have noticed that the more I do my work, the more I am rewarded in often unexpected ways with gifts from God. It seems somewhat obvious though that when you serve God, God rewards you. It's like any job really. When you do a good job in general, you are often rewarded. Companies may be more structured with expectations and anticipated rewards and bonuses, etc. Working for God, however, I have found that the gifts from God come in a variety of ways. Sometimes it is money and sometimes gifts of abilities such as being able to see or know something others cannot.
But, what I have also noticed is that when you listen to God and follow his direction in the most minute way that you are also rewarded. First, when your life is lead by God, he directs you to optimal results using the most effective path to get there. When you follow it, you are rewarded with the best overall results.
What I have found, however, is that just because you listen and follow your inspiration, you are also given gifts from God in unexpected ways. I have seen it countless times that when you listen and follow that inner guidance, you are given gifts and surprises ideal for you and for me they always received with delight.
As I mentioned in a previous post, "When You are Called", many are called and when you follow your calling rewarded with fulfillment and possibly a different sense of success. But, there are other gifts often received. The most obvious are the gifts you need to fulfill your calling. But, what I am discussing here are the gifts you receive for just listening and following your guidance on a daily basis no matter how mundane the circumstance seems at the time.
The rewards may not be apparent immediately or always evident that what you are receiving is experiencing is related to a specific situation although sometimes it is apparent.
I find in my spiritual healing practice, that many of my clients are missing out on ultimate possibilities because they are not able to fully surrender to God and understand and follow the guidance to receive those gifts from God. Often there is a severed connection due to past teachings that have limited their connections to their Source or have caused fear of God.
God is no one to be feared and that unfortunate teaching has caused much separation from your Source and blocked the infinite possibilities available to you when connected.
As God elaborated to me recently, to picture him as our operating system. The human teachings that have been placed upon his operating system, whether intention or unintentional have clogged up the system. Once those human and more limited teachings are released, he can work through sourcing your life in ways not presently imaginable. Until the limiting beliefs are removed, God's ability to give to you is limited.
I have heard many pray for God to help but the help he often tries to give is not met with open arms. I don't believe people intentionally block gifts from God. I sometimes think they don't believe God is listening. He hears everything and can't miss anything as he resides within. But unless you are tuning in to connect with him through your heart and listening from that vantage point, you will miss the assistance he is providing. He often works through you to help you achieve your desired outcomes. But, he can't his guidance and energies through you, it creates more of a challenge than needs be.
The gifts available are beyond comprehension. That is especially true in the Fifth Dimension (5D), where the ceiling has been lifted. Unless you open up to possibilities that exist in this dimension where Heaven on Earth can be experienced, the gifts that are awaiting you here will be missed.
• Meditation is great way to go within and get in touch with the Source within.
• Walking in that meditative state in nature is useful.
• Unless going in and operating from the heart, much is missed.
• If you are seeking answers outside of yourself, you are turning away from God. Go in first and then allow God to point you where you need go.
• If you are automatically following someone else's guidance without discernment first by going within, you leave yourself more up to chance.
Mindfulness has become a popular term these days. Being mindful of where the information is coming from that you are operating from is useful. If it comes from God, it is the highest and best for you and all concerned. If it is from others, it may only be information gathered from the past or the intellect which is more limited in general. If it is guided information, you can discern if appropriate by going within.
You have one life here as you this go around. You came with certain things you wanted to achieve and experience. Only God knows your blueprint and can assist in fulfilling all you wanted to this lifetime. So, tap into the greatest Source of all for best advice overall and be open to the numerous gifts that will bring.
The Time of Tribulation
Do you understand the time of tribulation?
Upon the split between the Third Dimension (3D) and the Fifth Dimension (5D) occurred on Monday, August 29, 2016 at noon, the time of tribulation began, which will be a negative experience felt more by those who chose to remain in 3D. The following is Archangel Michael's comment on the tribulation:
The time of tribulation is here. But, what is it? It is the time of trial and error. For all those who have chosen to walk alone, doing things on their own, they get to understand what it is to be operating alone rather than as one with God. When you are aligned at the highest level, doors open. When you choose to align with the ego, you struggle in many ways unrecognizable as to its cause. The time of tribulation gives evidence as to what it is to align with the ego versus aligning with spirit and the oneness within where you access all there is.
Seek truth from within. Align with the intellect and you struggle. You experience first hand which works better. You witness what exists within Heaven on Earth and what you miss by not aligning with it.
Those that surrender to the source within, experience life of the highest possibility. Those that align with the ego will continue to struggle.
Doomsday is when the ego leads to darkness and the surrendering to the source leads you to light. You get to witness at this time which works better and choose. The earlier you choose, the less trial; the less tribulation.
If you are not aligned to ego and darkness, you have nothing to fear.
Archangel Michael
Freedom Comes From Within
True freedom comes from within. When you have let go of all your fears and limiting beliefs, you will be free to be, do and have what is possible.
Often people look at freedom as to what is granted from the outside. Those of you who chose to come to nations who are free, chose to of your own free will. If you chose to be born into a nation that was not a free state, it was because you either wanted to learn something or do something about it. In either case, it is up to you how you relate to the environment within which you live.
When you know who you are and the true connection to Source God that lives within you, ultimately you are free. You have the power within you to create great change. But all change on the outside first occurs within. If you don't feel free or experience freedom in your personal world or the world at large, the focus should be placed within as to what is within you that does not feel free. Ask the Source God from within your own heart, "What do I need know or do to experience freedom?" and follow that guidance. Often it is about letting go of an old concept or programming that is running in your subconscious dictating the results you experience as well as how you feel.
If you do not feel free, there is something within you inhibiting that state of beingness. Would you like to feel free?
Are you free to fully express yourself and your desires to the world? to your family? to the people who matter to you?
Are you judging your circumstances as limiting?
If you answered yes to the first question and no to the second, these are two examples of not feeling free. Do you blame others or your circumstances? If so, you are not freely standing in your power to take 100% responsibility for your circumstances to change them.
Wouldn't you feel better if you could freely stand in your power, fully expressing yourself and knowing you have the ability to be, do or have what is purposeful?
If you are demonstrating out into the world limitations of any kind, you are not free but have the power within to change those outcomes by letting go of the programming, negative memories and limiting beliefs, fears and judgments within that are sabotaging your freedom.
You don't have to fight for freedom. All you need do is let go of the concepts from within that limit your freedom. Return to love at your core where true freedom becomes possible. Once you come from a state of love, you are free and the possibilities are infinite. Attract from a place of love and possibility rather than from a place of fear and limitation. Then you will experience true freedom.
May you all be set free.

God on the Media and Heaven on Earth
Prior to an interview I was giving on Sacred Stories Tele-summit, I was given this channeled message from God on the darkness within media and how the possibilities of heaven on earth exist for you here now.
The message from God:
"Within me lies many mansions. Where you live is where your consciousness has put you. What has put you where you are is, and has always been, your choice. You have either chosen to empower yourself or another. By aligning with me, I empower your best self and possibility. But, all too often, you have turned away from me giving your power away to those who have spoken the loudest. You have evidence of that now in your media.
All of you who give power to those in the media in which you now see are feeding the darkness that has undermined you all along.
It is the media that is perpetuating lies upon lies increasing fear and enhancing the darkness that has been feeding it all along.
If you wish to give up darkness, give up the media until it turns around and demonstrates to you that it is of the light. For, how do you know it is of the light? It shares love and possibility and not destruction and mayhem.
The thoughts that are perpetuated by what you see in the media is flaring the fear that holds you back from experiencing heaven on earth, which is available to you now, this day.
Join me in experiencing heaven on earth now. Give up your fear and live in the light."
Most do not realize that heaven on earth was first announced on March 30, 2013 and we are now approaching the celebration of its third anniversary.
How to Go from Paris to Peace?
I inquired to heaven regarding the recent killings that occurred in Paris as well as the overall state of affairs regarding darkness and their negative effects on humanity.
Archangel Michael came through with his comments on the state of affairs, darkness as well as a solution. I invite you to join with me in the solution.
My Dearest Joy:
You are one among many asking for answers regarding the Paris events, as well as wanting to understand the dark that abounds and permeates daily living in so many areas and ways.
It isn't without longing in our hearts to have the suffering stop for so many but what you don't see is the aftereffects we notice that occurs following these incidents of terror. Those who are terrorized, including those who are audience participants such as the majority who will read this that are the spectators of the news, are awakening to what isn't right, what doesn't work and are seeking answers and solutions. Many, for a change, are seeking answers to take appropriate action. That is what is so remarkable and pivotal about these events.
You, together or alone, are seeing truth and wanting to make a difference. You are taking a stand as to the qualities of life you prefer and will commit to in the overall scheme of things. Things are about to change in a much bigger way because of just that.
God gave you all free will. It is up to each one of you how you exercise that free will. You have free will to say or do this or that, and in those moments of choosing your thoughts or actions, you get to choose sides. Will it be a thought or action in the light or of the dark?
Many of you have recognized that violence does not serve the whole nor does it solve the problem.
Those of you who choose violence, are choosing a course in darkness.
Those of you who respond to acts of violence in kind, are also choosing darkness.
Those of you in the light are asking for guidance more and more as to what would be purposeful right action. How can we solve this problem without bringing more harm to another or to the self? What can I do to make a difference in this matter? There are more of you now than ever before who are sending your prayers to the underprivileged, the misinformed, the degraded, the bullied, the persecuted, the perceived enemy, the ill, etc.
Those prayers are heard in the moment conveyed. Those prayers matter and make a difference even if you don't see or experience the immediate evidence or benefit of such. Keep them coming. The more of you who pray for right action, forgiveness and for salvation for those less fortunate, in harms way or who cannot fend for themselves are making a difference to the whole and not just those few involved in the current situation upon which you focus.
Keep in mind that God works through you and others for the desirable end result. Keep mindful of the inspirations you receive and act upon them in the moment guided. Those actions might be more purposeful than you think.
Send forgiveness and love to the misinformed, the persecutors, the criminals, and the darkest of the dark, as they too are children of God. Lost children as they are, they need your love and forgiveness more than the victim does in many circumstances. Have pity on those who have wandered so far away from God, they do not know their way back. The cause of their separation is what needs to be healed, more so than the cause of their misdeeds.
They suffer far greater in most cases than any victim. For their soul has been darkened, they know not who they are, they are lost, alone, separated and cannot see the light of day.
They are the ones that need your prayers and your forgiveness. If you truly want to save the world, eliminate the suffering and set yourselves and everyone else free, it is time to love and forgive your enemies as well as yourselves.
The more of you who pray for the forgiveness and transmutation of the fear that the enemy carries within their soul, the faster you will see and experience change in your private world as well as the world at large.
It isn't a miracle you seek. It is forgiveness and love you desire. In your heart of hearts all humanity wants is love and forgiveness and to find peace within your lives. You can have that sooner than later by just forgiving self and others as well as loving self and others.
Can you find it within your own heart to love and forgive yourself and others? Stop worrying about what is wrong with others and within the world and start praying that you can find the peace, love and forgiveness within your own heart to make the difference you wish to see within the world.
Blessings to you all. May you all find peace.
All the heavens are supporting you at this time. Our request is for you to join forces with us and take these steps as outlined so you CAN have peace on earth.
Archangel Michael
God on the Ascension
The following is an audio of the full tele-seminar where I delivered messages given to me from Archangel Michael, Jesus and God on the Ascension. Those messages are in their entirety on the audio.
The following is the message from God on the ascension:
You are all most precious to me. I have watched you forever struggle with the choices you have made in your past. The powers that be, who have run this planet, have tortured, maimed, and murdered you; controlled, manipulated and enslaved you for aeons. They run your stock market, your banks, your industries, your governments, your medical care, etc. There is not one industry that darkness has not influenced. Thereby, influencing all who live here regardless of your intent.
I am in charge, but I also honor your free will. If I were a dictator instead, I would have stepped in long before now to make the changes that you will now see. What has occurred to date is that you gave your own power away to those who thought they were better and put themselves in charge. Not owning your own power and knowing that I lie with in you, you willingly or unwillingly submitted to the power and control of those who stood out from the crowd.
Rather than go within where I lie, you went outside of yourself succumbing to the loudest voice who chose to lead you at the time. By continually giving your power away to those in command rather than I who created you, you further separated yourself from me. The further you separated yourself from me, the less you could hear the still small voice within you guiding you to perfect and right action as well as salvation.
The more you were influenced by others, the less you knew me and my love for you. Those that took command did so with an iron fist further driving a stake between us.
The darker this planet got, the more desperate it became. The more cries out for help ended up on deaf ears because you could no longer hear my words directly. That small voice within could not compete with the loud voice from without where you gave your attention. Your belief system grew to encapsulate the teachings of those who chose to control you rather than me who created you.
My love for you did not waiver. My presence in your life did not diminish accept for your view and acceptance of me. You began to forget me as your source. You were taught I was someone to fear. Those who were my enemy taught you to fear me. I did not teach you that.
I allowed you to come here of your own free will and live in a world we created for the experience of free will. By forgetting who I am to learn to find me again to know the true nature of this divine connection, you were able to learn on your own the importance of this most significant relationship. There is nothing more significant than the relationship you and I share. NOTHING.
As more and more of you became enlightened and strengthened both your desire and awareness of this most sacred relationship, the cries for help and the abilities to receive answers increased. You began letting me back in. You were not only giving me power but you were empowering yourselves to take right action, make better choices and stand up for your rights.
Look around you. How many organizations now exist helping their fellow man, the animals, the underprivileged, the earth, the environment and even the economy. Yes, even the economy. An economy who's leaders have put themselves first at the expense of the masses. No equity there.
Humanity stood up and said, "I won't take it anymore!". I want a world of peace, and health and sustenance for all. It must be everyone's right to be clothed, fed and housed. It is their divine right to be so. But, it wasn't the intent of those in power who wanted the power and the position and prestige for themselves.
They took control and made you their slaves to their ideals. They oppressed you and tortured your soul if not your bodies.
Well, my dear children, that is coming to an end. Enough of you chose me and gave me my power back. Your free will choice to choose me, and that power you have within is what is causing this shift at this time. It is you who are bringing an end to an era – a very dark era.
It is also you who will dictate how this shift occurs and what, when and where things happen.
This may surprise you but you are all so much more powerful than you give yourselves credit for. You have given away your power for so long, you have no idea who you really are nor what you are capable of.
It is you who can change the world and dictate the results we achieve over the coming months. It is not I who is dictating what will occur, but you. It is your free will choices moment by moment that dictate the end results the world experiences.
How is that possible you ask?
Well let me tell you what it is like to plan an event and have the people who are meant to participate and take appropriate action choose to do something else instead. You see, you are not puppets. We don't pull your strings and manipulate you like the powers that be have in their manipulative ways. We hear your prayers and respond with a best course of action and then you or others interferes with those plans and then we go back and create new plans the next time we are asked to assist. I do not control your every action. I try and guide and assist you to right action but you have the ultimate say if you go right or left, forward or back, choose light or dark.
If everyone of you asked me from the bottom of your heart with an open heart and mind for my advice and were willing to take it, you would always take perfect and right action for your highest and best good and the good of all. Can you imagine a world where that were the common protocol and occurrence?
Well enough of you have woken up to recognize that isn't such a bad idea. You have come to realize that the way you and things were working were not serving you. You have, therefore, begun to ask my opinion and actually listen and follow my guidance. That, my dear children, is why were are here today. Enough of you have said enough of the old dark ways and have chosen the light and me as your source. You are now listening to what I actually have to say rather than what another human has to say instead. I am not desiring to put down humans for I created them, but they have not always known what they were doing nor were they doing things that were for the highest good of all.
Therefore, they have often lead you astray. Now, that you are finding your way home to me and asking for a better world, I am here to tell you that it is coming. Now that enough of you have stood up and chosen me to run your world, I can help you rebalance it. And, that is exactly what we are doing here.
This dimension of reality of which you find yourselves is considered the third dimension. The dimension of duality. The dimension that is available to you now is the fifth dimension. This is the dimension of ease and grace. Joy lives here now as to do others who have been schooled and prepared to help humanity ascend. It is their purpose now to help you ascend to a life of ease.
What does that mean exactly? You will be leaving your old lives behind in a way. You will remain here in the physical but the way you experience your world will begin to change. It will begin to appear lighter and brighter. The problems you once experienced will begin to dissipate. You will no longer struggle with the things of the past as you have.
That being said, the rest is up to you to a degree. This is for all who are on the borderline of ascension. Those of you who are clinging to the past, will remain there until you are willing to let go and surrender yourself fully to me. I hold the key to your salvation, but if you don't put the key into my door, you remain stuck inside the reality you have already created for yourself. I bring forth salvation to you at this time. It is up to you whether or not you want in.
I am not sitting in judgment saying you can come; you cannot. That is a fallacy. One, among many fallacies that have perpetuated your earth far too long.
The truth is all are welcome in my home. You can all return home to me when ready. Many of you aren't ready. Why? Because you are clinging to the past. You prefer your ideas than me. You are choosing what someone told you to believe rather what I am telling you now. You prefer your historical data to me, your creator, who is speaking to you now.
I am inviting you home. Would you like to come? Again, I am giving you free will choice. Those of you who are being left behind in the coming months of this ascension are doing so of free will. I am not blocking your coming. You are refusing to come.
If your ideas of me have more value than knowing who I am personally, then you are choosing your ideas and not me. Only those who choose me, can return home to me. If you choose me and choose to return home to me at this time, you are more than welcome. I welcome you with open arms. Those who choose your ideas and prefer them over me and knowing me personally, can remain with your ideas for as long as you would like. Again, you have free will.
The resistance on this planet at this time is enormous. Your news is rampant with it. That resistance is what can negatively affect what happens as we go forward.
But, I wish to rest your fears. Those of you who have fear and remain fearful, will only cause yourself harm. There's no fear where I live. I am inviting you home with me. Do I need explain to you what to expect when you get here? Does it matter as long you are safe and happy and all your needs are met? What more do you really need to know?
There are a lot of predictions as to what is to occur in the coming months. I can tell you the end result ultimately. I cannot tell you certain things, in the interim, because you have free will. The culmination of that free will creates the end result you experience at any given time.
Let go of your fear, and you bring about profound change quicker and easier. Cling to fear, and you hold yourself and others back.
If you want to guarantee the best results in the coming months, try and reassure people that their choosing God is safe and God will take care of those who return home to him. I will provide for the needs for all who return home to me.

Super Eagles London camp was yesterday lit up with the arrival of Leicester stars , Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi for the two important international friendlies against Senegal and Burkina Faso.
The presence of the duo at the Crowne Plaza had swelled the number of players that had reported to camp, even as Gent star, Moses Simeon had joined his compatriots in London.
According to the Super Eagles official twitter handle, Arsenal wonder kid, Alex Iwobi and Watford striker, Isaac Success were among the early birds, who reported for duty.
Other players in camp included goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, Ogenyi Onazi, Chidozie Awaziem, Bazee Noah and Abdullahi Shehu.
As at the time of filing in this report, the Manchester City youngster, Kelechi Iheancho and Chelsea's man, Victor Moses were yet to report to camp.
Moses who started for Chelsea against Stoke City at the weekend, remains a doubt for the friendly due to an injury he sustained in the Chelsea, Manchester duel a week ago.
Also missing in camp is Chippa United of South Africa goalkeeper , Daniel Akpeyi who was experiencing visa delay and may join the team earliest Wednesday evening.
The Eagles will face Senegal at the Hive Stadium in London on Thursday before taking on Burkina Faso on Monday at the same venue.

Wanee 2010 Festival
This year's Wanee Music Festival was a cheerful and pleasant weekend featuring many of our favorite bands and food vendors we've seen over the years. Read on for interviews, photos, and an in depth festival review.
One of the best places to see live music is down at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, in Live Oak, FL. Snuggled in between Atlanta and Orlando in Northern Florida, our journey to Wanee was well worth it. Epicurean Musician sat down with many festival vendors who spend every spring and summer following musicians across the country supplying festivals with a steady supply of quality food.
Roll, Jerry, Roll
One of the most familiar faces on the festival scene is our favorite vendor, Lou, who is known as the "Jerry Roll" guy. This specialty item, named after everyone's favorite gray-haired bandleader, features cabbage and carrots shoved inside of delicious egg-roll skin. Lou has been on the road every summer since 1989 with the Dead, serving up his Jerry Rolls, funnel cakes, delicious lamb schwarma, and falafel.
While he screams to customers and passersby that his 'goat got away', Lou runs a very successful operation and proudly keeps his establishment drug-free with his wife. We have seen Lou over the years at such fests as Langerado, All Good, and Bear Creek, and his food is consistently fresh and delicious. Please keep an eye out for their booth and be sure to try the Jerry Rolls.
Fiyo on the Bayou
Epicurean Musician also chatted briefly with Southern South BBQ from St. Simons, Georgia. Featuring world-class brisket, pulled pork and all the delicious fixins, they have been on the road only for the last two years or so. Their restaurant recently experienced a tragic fire and the entire place was lost. As they rebuild, the owner and managers are staying busy, planning out their festivals for the summer and setting up shop. We loved their food and look forward to seeing them this summer and beyond.
Mellow Mood Has Got Me
A familiar pizza restaurant in the south, Mellow Mushroom, has begun its venture into the summer festival scene. We stopped off and talked with the manager Laura, who offered us some of MM's options featuring slices with toppings like banana peppers and pesto. We also noticed that aside from their food vending, they were giving away earplugs and frisbees, two important parts of any music festival.
Can You Hear the Music?
Similar to the prior six years, this year's Wanee Festival featured the Allman Brothers Band as headliners, solo projects of the Allman members and many other excellent artists. Aside from the ABB, Steven Stills performed many songs he wrote during his years in CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, and Manassas. Also performing were New Orleans staples the Funky Meters, Dr. John and Ivan Neville's Dumpstafunk, who played an entire set of Sly and the Family Stone.
For those needing their Grateful Dead fix, drummer Bill Kreutzman performed with Papa Mali and Bob Weir appeared with Jay Lane and Rob Wasserman in Scaring the Children. Bobby played numerous Dylan tunes (Maggie's Farm, Hard Rain's Gonna Fall) along with favorite songs written by Garcia/Hunter (Friend of the Devil, Days Between).
Down by the River
Aside from the amazing music and excellent food options (we didn't mention the Jambalaya, but WOW), the beauty of the festival was our ideal camping conditions in the forest of Northern Florida. Our campsite, set near the Frisbee golf course, allowed us to make friends with neighbors and wandering festival goers alike. Our neighbors, Ryan and Gina, joined us for a trip to the special secret of the Suwannee Music Park, its prime location on the Suwannee River. Don't let the river's brown, New Castle color fool you. The river was cool, clean and delightful on a day where the temperatures approached 90 degrees.
During the morning at the river, we spotted dozens of people who dangerously swung from a cliff using a very weathered rope. These jumpers kept observers entertained with backflips, Olympic style maneuvers and some painful belly/back flops. The only thing missing from this ideal afternoon, was a full-on music performance on the banks of the Suwannee.
While we would love to go to every festival at Suwannee Music Park, it doesn't look like Epicurean Musician will reappear until MagFest or Bear Creek, both of which will happen later this year. Stay tuned to EM's reports from the Hangout, Mountain Jam, Sasquatch and Bonarroo Music Festivals!
