Yesterday, I went to a wedding. I was wondering what I was doing there. I barely knew the bride and groom, although they were very distant relatives. Maybe it’s just emotional support I was giving, to my grandmother, who came all the way to the Philippines from the US to attend the wedding of her niece.

But I’m hearing from my spirit guides that I’m supposed to be there, to witness what to my studies in human relationship was something very important. Marriage is the most fundamental human relationship. From it springs husband and wife, parent and child, brother and sister. From the need to fulfill the needs of the growing child, comes the relationships of friends, neighbors and business partners.

Indeed, all human relationships center around the effort to bring children into adulthood, fulfilling physical, emotional and intellectual needs. Even today in our modern world, behind every seemingly frivolous product in the market, and the effort to bring them from factory to department store, is the attempt to bring food to the tables of the thousands of employees in the industry.

And at the center of the relationship of marriage is LOVE. Indeed, without Love, there would be no life on Earth. Heck, without Love, there wouldn’t be an Earth. The Earth, its Solar System and the Milky Way Galaxy are all products of the Love of a creator.

And the creator’s attempts to create Life are duplicated here on Earth in the form of the parents attempt to create new Life. And from what I hear, it’s the most wonderful feeling in the world.

I’m not just talking about sex here, I’m talking about seeing your child grow, slowly from a small baby to a toddler taking his first steps, speaking his first words, making his first friends. Every single milestone is celebrated with ecstasy by the parents and other adults around the child. When the child finally shows the first signs of special talents, they gather their friends to celebrate and speculate about what the child will grow up into.

And finally when the child grows up into a man or woman and gets married, it’s almost more than the parents can take. When they are asked to make a speech in front of the guests in the wedding banquet, they can barely help but shed tears of  of joy.

And now that Earth is ascending, I wonder what the creator feels with regard to this little planet on the edge of the Milky Way.

See the infrastructure of Love in others
Show it to them
Teach them how they too are capable of Love
and BELIEVE in them

This is what I heard from my angels a few days back.

Today I and my family went to the cemetery to visit some deceased family members, and on the way we stopped over my sister’s congregation. Now the people there were spiritual, and were kindly and nice, and were easy to like. But in hindsight, I must say my efforts to see their capability to love were a bit lacking. So long story short, I get to try to remember to do better next time. =)

And I understand that I was being trained to see all people this way, and in terms of computer games, today’s attempt was at Level 1. I’m slowly going to be exposed to people who are harder and harder to love, and I’m going to see their capability to love, and show it to them by believing in them, and teach them to believe in themselves.

Something I did notice was that the way I treated those people in the congregation, I often treat myself similarly. Now, at the end of the day, looking back on the events of today, I realize that the way you love or don’t love yourself is the way you love or don’t love others. Other people are really just mirrors for us to see the way we treat ourselves.

And if you cannot love yourself, how can you love others?

It has been a wonderful time, as I have suddenly found my needs met without me having to do anything but what I am told to do by my guides.

Also I have met my higher self in a way that I have not previously done. He is hovering behind my back all the time when I am not paying attention to him, and when I ask to commune with him and not merely function as his microphone into this world, I can “log in” to him, and the spark I see turns into a vortex that opens up, and I am able to access the world he belongs to. He is basically a previous lifetime of mine, and he knows what energies I have come here to fix and heal, what destructive habits I am to change, he knows my mission in this life and what plans have been made for me to follow.

So far, the plans have shifted, but the trajectory, the general direction has always been the same – Ascension.

He shows me a world that is very different from the one I know now in this 3D reality, for the 5D reality waiting for us, known to many of us as New Earth, is practically here – we just have to learn how to “log in” to it.

And I see a pristine landscape, animals, a brook, and bushes, everything full of life. I see settlements of people who have come here thousands of years ago at the fall of Atlantis, and people who have just arrived from our world, whether they visit in a dream state or stay to settle down.

But most exciting is the time when 12-12-12 dawns, and we one by one learn to shift ourselves into New Earth just like Jesus did during his Ascension. No more dying!

Of course you will have to raise your consciousness to do so, “do the work” we like to say. Emotional clearing, purification of the body, living a simple lifestyle, eating “close to the Earth”. Leaving behind the toxic emotions of the 3D world around us. CHOOSING A BETTER LIFESTYLE NOW.

And the more time you spend in this new world you build for yourself that which is in alignment with Earth’s Future, the more you attract to yourself the peace of New Earth.

How many of you have a personal relationship with Mother Earth? Do you grow plants, do you hike and visit Nature in her wild places? Try sitting on a large rock and staying quiet for a time, and open your senses. Hear the sounds of Mother Nature. Feel her harmony. You are part of this, like a leaf to a tree.

BREATHE IN HER HARMONY. Bring it home and live it in your day to day life. Commune with Mother Earth every time you have an opportunity. THANK her for your food. See her face every time you look at the sky. Once in a while, stop and smell the roses. Lie beneath the sky and commune with her. Acknowledge her. She is a living, breathing being. Breathe with her, as her clouds move across the sky. Ask if there is anything you can do for her. Let the ideas come, and thank her for responding. She might thank you for asking.

I’ve just spent the last few days downloading the Thrive movie (which is now free), and putting it onto a DVD format, and burning copies. I’m now waiting for my angels’ orders on what to do next.

Last night I was told to give one copy to my sister’s spiritual master. I also invited one long lost friend who contacted me on Facebook to watch the Thrive movie on Youtube and then discuss it with me.

I still don’t have the full picture, but I believe my angels are trying to get me to create a network of people who believe they can THRIVE, get them to put their brains and resources together, and make it work.

This is in light of the thoughts I’ve been having these past few days. I realized that I can’t ask people to believe in me, I can only show them the evidence and let them make conclusions for themselves. After all, who am I? I can ask them to believe in themselves and their ability to thrive. And I guess I can believe in them.

But most of all, I can believe in myself. I am after all, made in the image of the creator.

And I’m sure lots of people are thinking along the same lines. I just need to find them and work with them to create the world of our dreams.

The Thrive movie presents a few very promising concepts that I’ve been thinking of but really could not share with others because it is difficult for them to grasp. Everything has an auric field, and everything from an atom to a galaxy has an aura. In the Thrive movie, it is simply called a “torus,” because that is its shape. Auras, like electrical and magnetic fields, are shaped like toruses, and energy flows through it like a gentle waterfall, slowly recreating your body, or the atom’s body, or the galaxy’s body as it passes along. This aura contains the intelligence required to maintain your body – it created your body in the first place. And if we could help the aura, maintain it, repair it when necessary, give it a boost so to speak, it would do a lot to help our health, or the atom’s health, or the galaxy’s health.

The aura, quite literally, is its consciousness body. That is its mind. And the healthier your aura is, the more sound of mind you are, the happier you are, and the more beautiful you are.

This reminds me of the last time I had a break with one of my friends, and I felt terribly lonely. I checked my aura, and around the right of my head, there was this hole the size of a small tire, like the ozone hole. I imagined that hole closing, using my hands for effect, and when the hole had closed, I felt better, no longer so lonely.

If psychologists knew how to do this, we would have far, far fewer people on antidepressants! =)

I’ve been thinking about self love. To love yourself, you must know yourself.

To know myself, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I liked, and after a while I realized I didn’t know what I liked. Eventually I realized it was difficult for me to know what I liked, because what I liked were abstract things – thought processes. I’m a programmer by profession, and it’s funny coz it seems that I’m also a programmer by soul purpose – a programmer of life, of my world, my consciousness.

I THINK, THEREFORE, I AM. LOL!!!

Recently, the Ascended Master channelers whose work I like to read, have been writing mostly about similar things – one similar thing, actually. Love yourself, and in loving yourself, love and serve humanity. Let your soul purpose shine, do what you came here on Earth to do, and leave the rest to the angels.

If you hate your job, drop it.
If you hate your girlfriend or boyfriend, drop him or her.
Do what you love, because what you love is what you came here on Earth to do.

If money were not an issue, if the government supplied each and every need, what would you do with your life? WHAT DO YOU LOVE? Then go do that!

If you don’t know what you love, then we go back to the inquiry with which I asked earlier – To love yourself, you must know yourself. What do you like? Where do you spend most of your time? What do you do when you have nothing to do? What do you enjoy? When had you had your last really good belly laugh? When did you last feel most content?

Ask these questions and more, and get to know yourself. Then BE YOURSELF!

If you’re like most people, you might have to go to nature alone to clear your head and answer these questions honestly. Put on a pair of hiking boots and go hiking. The left-right-left-right action of walking often stimulates both sides of the brain equally to allow them to work together, allowing you to think better. Other ways to stimulate brain balance include typing, playing a musical instrument and other things you do with both hands.

There were several things that I thought I liked, but it turns out that I only made myself like them out of a sense of duty. Like helping poor people rise out of poverty. The problem with this, is that poverty rises from the mind, and unless you change the mind, you cannot solve poverty. Pouring money on the problem only feeds fuel to the fire. It turned out that what I needed to do was leave the poor people alone, giving alms when I am told to do so by my guides and angels, and minding my own business. =)

I also liked to plant, to teach and to do a lot of other things, but what these things did for me, was to teach me how living things worked, and how other people’s minds worked, both of which are important for my mission, and are like steps behind you on a staircase. Going back to them only sets you back. So which step is in front of me?

Ah, the most important question. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I believe my next step is to know myself, to be able to answer the question “Who AM I?”

And this leads me to my next realization. Here, at the cusp of 12-12-12, humanity is a race beginning to know itself, and therefore love itself. Its parts are connected to each other in ways never before seen, intellectually and emotionally thanks to the internet and social networking. We have begun to take responsibility for our faults and our negative effects on the planet en masse. More and more people are taking steps to live in harmony with Nature and each other. The materialism of the past is fading away, the impermanence of material wealth apparent to every heart. All we really have is ourselves, and each other. Better start getting along with yourself, and your fellow man.

Because only by coming together and knowing ourselves as a planet can we love ourselves as a planet

There’s this show I watch, Doomsday Preppers, a show I like very much. It shows people doing something about a situation most people choose to deny or avoid.

There’s this episode where the person being featured is a trucker, meaning he makes his living driving other people’s cargo across the United States, connecting elements of American society beyond the miles. He has a big heart, and his first instinct when seeing somebody in need is to go and help.

Except that in the show, his brother arranges to teach him a lesson, to test his preparations and his instincts.

His brother arranges 2 vehicles so that they appear to have had a collision, and asks somebody to lie on the ground, pretending to be hurt. He then asks other people to lay in hiding behind one of the vehicles and on the sides of the road.

When our trucker friend comes in with his 18 wheeler truck, he sees this lady on the ground, perhaps injured. He stops his truck, comes in with pistol in hand just in case, and asks the lady, “Are you hurt?” He then sees the person behind the vehicle, figures that something strange is going on, and demands that the person come out with his hands up. The “injured” lady then takes out her weapon and points it at our trucker, and so do the people hiding on the sides of the road.

If this was real, our trucker friend would have just lost his truck and all his supplies, left stranded in the middle of nowhere, just because he wanted to help somebody who appeared injured.

The TV program proceeds to state that in the event of an economic meltdown, your top priority is you, your loved ones and your cargo reaching your safe haven, and that you should ignore anybody who asks for help if it means putting yourself at risk.

I used to be like this – I couldn’t say no to anybody asking for help, even against my better judgement. I had weak personal borders. For somebody who is trying to create or repair relationships, having weak personal borders is almost fatal, because it will be very easy for others to play on your emotions and abuse you. Personal borders means that you don’t just accept the emotions others give you as your own, and you can distinguish your emotions from theirs. You stop to think if the demands they give you are reasonable, if their expectations are valid.

I’m not saying that if you see somebody lying on the ground and perhaps injured, to keep going and not try to help. That’s a totally different topic altogether, and I’ll get to that later.

But the fact is, in this world we live in, people do use other people’s emotions and naiveté against them. And personal borders are our natural emotional self defense against such people. Except that not everybody is taught how to use their personal borders, some are even discouraged from using them straight from childhood, almost being raised thinking that it is shameful to say no.

And if we are to be well rounded creators capable of creating what relationships we deem necessary, it will be very important to develop our personal borders first. This involves developing a healthy skepticism, not believing everything other people tell us. Don’t be gullible. Think for yourself. Discern the truth, using both your wits and your instincts.

One way to do this is to learn to communicate not only through words but through feelings. Do the words the other person is telling you match the emotions he is projecting? Or is his emotions telling you a very different story?

Complicating this process is the fact that most people who portray themselves as victims and are in need of help believe their own story. I know because I used to be one of these people! They themselves have weak personal borders, allowing specific people to bully them without resistance, then lament their case to every body else. They create their own victimhood, albeit unconsciously. Which is why conscious creation is so important.

The best approach in dealing with this kind of people is to stiffen your own backbone and insist that they grow theirs. Be an example to them. Show them that they create their own victimhood, and that by believing in themselves and asking other people’s help to stand up to their oppressors, they can create a different reality for themselves.

Going back to the question of whether our trucker friend should have gone to the injured lady’s rescue or not, the answer is, “It depends.” The angels know. Ask them. Remember, they speak to you through your emotions, and for you to hear them you need to be very quiet. “Be still,” and practice achieving that “Peace that passes understanding”, until you can do it away from your sacred space, even in the real world, where snap decisions may mean a world of difference.

Not all fear is unhealthy. There are times when my instinct told me, through fear, that I was about to make a mistake that will run my day.

I don’t like going out, reporting to work. I was copying my files onto a portable hard disk to bring to work. I usually work at home, you see, going to work only to submit my files. Except that this time, I had a pang of fear accompanied with the idea that the files I was copying to my hard disk were corrupted. I didn’t listen to it. I should have.

By the time I got to the office, and started copying my files onto my office computer, only then did I find out that the files were corrupted. I had traveled all the way to work for nothing. One wasted day.

I guess it was perfectly alright, since I learned how to listen to my instinct that day. All I lost was time. A lot of people learn this lesson the hard way.

I sometimes get lazy when communicating with my angels, you see. I start assuming things instead of asking detailed questions to make sure I get the message correctly. I misinterpreted my fear, took the wrong precautions, and went on my way.

So now, whenever I feel a pang of fear, I try to remember that I’m not alone. I have my angels with me, and they know the way, but they can’t help me unless I ask.

Anyway, the reason I decided to talk about dealing with fear today, is because I finally understood something. I was taught to deal with my fears by playing computer games. You know, those really simple games where you just click your mouse all day. And I finally understood how it works.

If you watch the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan deals with dogs with fear issues using one technique – he puts the dog on a treadmill and makes it walk in place, while presenting scary things to it. He plays sounds the dog is scared of, like lightning, over the speakers. He hangs balloons overhead and pops them one by one. Over time, the dog realizes that nothing bad happens when he experiences these things, and relaxes. But what really makes the fear go away is the walking, which forces the dog’s brain to go forward even in the presence of these scary things happening all around him.

Playing the clicking games do the same things for humans. You win, you lose, scary things happen like losing a lot of “money” or getting “killed”, but at the end, you’re still sitting safely in front of the computer, and absolutely nothing harmful can come to you. And all that clicking keeps your brain going forward.

Even when nothing scary is happening in the game, my angels present my scary past events to my subconscious, and while I play, past memories cross my mind. But I keep on clicking, and eventually the negative memory and the emotions associated with it play themselves out.

So all work and no play makes Mike a dull boy!

You know this “computer game therapy” is working when you’re less stressed, your creativity increases, you’re having more fun with your life. You smile more often. You’re less paranoid. And you’re a lot more relaxed talking about your past.

When meeting with somebody to build a relationship, like when going out on a date, love yourself first. Meaning, your primary responsibility is to maintain your own personal balance and not give too much. Don’t get too excited that you lose grounding in reality. Don’t expect too much that you stop thinking for yourself. Don’t have too much confidence in your friend that you sell yourself short. Keep your self respect and your dignity. Take baby steps in building this relationship.

I had a business trip yesterday to meet with a former school friend, a colleague, and I was so excited to meet and trade ideas that I forgot to bring my cellphone. I had to go back home to retrieve my cellphone, and that’s how I realized I was out of balance. It was worth it, since I learned a valuable lesson.

Business trip or date, a relationship is a relationship, and the dynamics are the same. When meeting strangers, be sure to carry protective gear like mace or a taser. Meet in populated areas, not in the middle of nowhere. If your new friend says he’s stranded in the middle of nowhere and you need to help him, bring a lot of backup. This might just save your life if things get hairy, especially if you’re a woman.

That said, building relationships can be one of the best things to happen in your life. Friends can be there for a season, a reason or a lifetime. But not everybody can be your friend. I learned this the hard way. I met this girl online several years ago. I am a healer, you see, and I kind of gave her some healing for some medical condition. Then we started talking and kind of got attached. I was naive, I was lonely, and she seemed friendly enough, but she asked for healing and refused to pay. Now healing can be a very exhausting job, requiring me to eat a lot every session. She refused to compensate me properly, and my angels decided the relationship was unhealthy.

So we had this last conversation where it seemed that whatever we said, the words were misinterpreted as angry and negative, and we never talked again.

This was my angels’ way of pulling me out of an imbalanced, unhealthy relationship.

So always give your angels to interfere with your life, every day, either in your morning prayers, your evening prayers, or both.
