Trigger Message: Tired of Waiting for the Event?

Light vs Dark is polarity at its most dramatic. The angels vs the demons. Freeing the oppressed. Spreading the love. This is juicy stuff.

This trigger message was channeled for those frustrated at the delay of the Event. If you are tired of waiting, please read on.

Resistance Movements, secret codes and vague intel messages spread like wildfire among the awakening community. We make it our routine to read our daily channeled messages from our favorite sources, hoping for a small indication that it’s time to move forward. It’s going to begin! After 300,000 years, we’re finally going to get our planet back!

“Victory of the Light” cheers ensue, our vibration is raised at the anticipation of the next phase, and we see the world a bit brighter and more palatable knowing that the real 5D “you” will finally have its day in the spotlight, your 15 minutes of fame, without fear of society’s rebuttal. Because in previous lives, we were burnt at the stake for being ourselves in public.

And then the days go on, and nothing new seems to happen, and our spirits fall as we come to the conclusion that it’s the same old world we’ve been living in. Just more time went by.

That gives us more time to focus inward, zapping away doubts with our laser guns, seeing beauty out there when we remind ourselves to check for it; and often, we reminisce about the journeys we took between the dimensions and wish we were back there again, free from the constructs of physicality, suffering, and exhaustible linear time.

We practice—either consciously or unconsciously—placing our focus on the various realities in which we live. The physical one (3D), the astral one (4D), and, if we’ve gotten to that point, the electric one (5D.) We view our life and circumstances from each vista, evaluating the feelings related to the theme we chose to explore at each level.

What are such themes for each reality? As the Pleiadians say, there’s a “plan, within a plan, within a plan.” Prior to coming into the physical, we chose which themes we’d like to experience while incarnated; those of us exploring mutual themes will experience each other in the collective after we enter into the game.

If you are focusing on the master theme that includes The Event, then your soul’s areas of desired growth may look like this:

Your 3D plan may include manifesting a physical mate that understands you, finding abundance in a world that worships money, or exploring self-worth issues and the value of life.

Your 4D plan will include studies relating to the the malleability of time, connecting with others in the non-physical realms available to you, and applying compassion.

Your 5D plan is probably so enormous that you could stay in that frequency for ever if you focus on it for too long (which, of course, is true, ultimately.) Yet you remember that you came to Earth to experience life as physical. You wanted the solidity and structure. You wanted that feeling of passing time so you could observe your self-improvement. You signed up for it.

So what does the Event theme look like in the physical?

In 3D it will look like chaos: repeated school shootings, territorial wars, and exploitation of the weaker population. Corrupt politicians, the powerful few oppressing the masses, programming them into zombiehood through messages in television, radio and social media. Children are exploited, people die hungry, and life is REAL. Solid. Poke it with a stick.

In 4D we add to this: that the oppressors are from somewhere else, somewhere off-planet. They have power, and technology, but they aren’t evolved like we are….savages! We must defeat them, because Light will always prevail over Darkness. We will take our planet back by fighting with love, dammit. And whatever happens to the Dark guys, they’ve earned it, but it won’t come from me. I’m an evolved soul.

And again, in 5D, you have the opportunity to view both of those scenarios, and make choices about who you are in the midst of playing within them. Always a choice, always a preference. And you know, somewhere inside, that you are an impeccable actor in this play. And you wanted to serve others through your own growth, and allow them to serve you. That’s the oneness aspect, manifested.

And in comes The Event. And it’s right on time.

This magical occurrence, boiled down to its basic explanation, is defined as the end of our most recent 26,000 year cycle of evolution, where collective focus moves from a masculine (-) charge, to a feminine (+) charge. It’s when the collective has absorbed enough high-frequency bands above it, that Earth is free to ascend herself, since she is 1.5 dimensions behind the collective life forms that she hosts.

In social media, The Event is touted as the turning point for humanity. The end of war and oppression. The bad guys are uprooted, restored to wholeness through the application of compassion and love, despite their wrongdoing. Money will be freed up for all, free energy will be available to the masses, and government will be restructured to benefit the whole rather than the few. It will be a New Earth.

Now the 5D part of us looks at our Event theme through these two lower frequencies, and recognizes the sub-themes for each level, and remembers that it’s all being played out instantaneously, and no one is getting hurt for real; and that we choose to focus on that level in order to be immersed in the experience of it. In order to do that, we must lower our vibration a bit.

That puts us back into the game for that reality. You see through your physical eyes, feel through your physical hands, and you take up actual space in a room. All real, while you’re focusing from within that frequency band.

For the Intel Junkie focusing in 3D, you’ll revel in coded messages from Cobra, secret group meetings in obscure places in Europe, and hopes of admission into the selfless Resistance Movement. That is a fascinating drama all in itself.

Add the 4D aspect, of remembrance of the astral realms and use of them through intention, and that same Intel becomes an opportunity to serve. A mission of love for fellow souls who are suffering. It’s our duty, after all, so why not focus on lighting up the Darkness through mass meditation and thoughts of well-being for all? We’re adding some magic back in here, finally. Let’s do this.

Now this is really getting to be fun!

Holographic War! Saving the World in Infinite Dimensions! Galactic Reunion!

All great drama, created by a Self who wanted a dramatic experience for the purposes of growth and integration of all those other Selves out there playing the part of the Oppressor. Each reality is completely valid and true while you’re focusing in it, and it falls back out of direct impact when you consider it through the concurrent plan of the level above it. Then the two melt together in a moment, and the reason for your behavior in one reality makes perfect sense within the context of the next highest level.

This is how you bind the remaining DNA strands awaiting reactivation. You view the lower frequency realities from your highest perspective, and they combine through your understanding of the relationship….and you jump up another notch in frequency.

So here’s your Trigger Message:

The Event is internal. It will happen out there, when it happens inside of you.

The Light and the Dark are simply masks certain souls are wearing, for your benefit. Nothing to fear, and no one really gets hurt.
The best entertainment one can have is when you are in the center of it, playing along, creating as you go, and expanding everyone’s growth experience along the way.
Remember the master plan:
You are a Gamemaster. It’s you. It’s all you, and you are a magical creator. So make it good, through love, compassion and imagination.

VIDEO: Losing Your Vocabulary? Me Too!

by Kimberly2 weeks agono comment

As Earth’s frequency rises, you may begin to forget words, even in the middle of a sentence!

You are not suffering from dementia, my friends. You are evolving into a telepathic SUPERSTAR that no longer needs to think, or speak, in a linear fashion.

Parables? Yup, you’ll hear yourself saying them, and wondering WTF happened to your thought patterns! Metaphors? They’ll become a primary way to describe things to others, as they cause imagery in the recipient’s mind that gets your point across way more efficiently than words.

Learn what your mind is doing differently in this video. Even I forget what the hell I’m saying, right in the middle of a sentence!

Why We Promote and Deny “Aliens” at the Same Time

by Kimberly3 weeks agono comment

Hollywood loves them. The government hates them. Whichever side of the fence you’re on, “aliens” are part of our world in some way, shape or form. And they are not going away.

The motion picture industry is rife with awakened souls who consistently channel energies that exist outside the confines of our 3D physical environment. It is these pioneers who are the creators of fantastically imaginative works of art such as Star Trek, War of the Worlds, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. (I still make that mountain with my mashed potatoes, every time they appear on a plate in front of me.)

Have you ever stopped to wonder where all that material came from? Just some guy (or gal)’s imagination? Yes. But there’s more to it than that.

These creators are channeling images, moods, tones and symbols from those who are watching this big Earth Experiment, awaiting the chance to contribute pieces of the lives that they live on other planets and in other dimensions. I give my credence to these creators—some of whom don’t even know they’re channeling—still believing that their otherworldly inventions were the result of luck, or at best, being in the creative zone on a good day.

Most of Hollywood’s “aliens” (I use this word intentionally here, as it evokes a sense of fear and anxiety in the population) are malevolent. They’re here to bleach us of resources, clear the planet of humanity as if we are locusts, or use us as slaves to do their bidding (that one’s not far from the truth right now.) It’s only pretty recently that producers are portraying softer interactions with extraterrestrials (see how this word could denote benevolence?). Movies like Contact, Arrival, and The Shape of Water are showing the more loving side of unified beings desiring to share their knowledge with us, even if they don’t share the human form.

Now most governments (we’ll exclude some such as Russia and most of South America) have been doing their best to cover up the relentless array of evidence that supports the existence of extraterrestrials visiting our planet. My own father, a pilot in the US Air Force, had exposure to them, but it was not to be spoken of at the dinner table. Everyone knew they existed, yet fear of retaliation from some omniscient Big Brother kept them from speaking up.

So why do we have this conflicting information about whether or not extraterrestrials exist?

It boils down to two reasons:

Just as there are benevolent and malevolent humans, there exists the whole gamut of extraterrestrials with varying intentions as well. Have you ever gone to a school where every single student was good? Or to a venue where every single person was bad? No, there’s a mixture, based on life experiences and perception of the value of life of the participants in the scenario. This condition extends to those living off-planet as well. Some value life, and others do not.
Confusion. If humanity were completely convinced one way or the other, then those who “rule” us would lose their power over us. That uncertainty on the public’s part keeps it thirsty for any information coming from external sources. This behavior precludes one thinking for oneself, and keeps the population in a state of fear.

Look at what happened in movies like Independence Day.

Humanity rallies, and fights back. This, of course, doesn’t fare well for the government, who loses its power over the people when they had to enlist civilian assistance to whip the bad guys and send them back home.

The fear of a greater force that can obliterate humanity with one Directed Energy Weapon can create patriotism among previously-separated socio-economic strata. The bums and the billionaires are leveled out when the bad guy has bigger weapons than Earth’s money can buy.

Hollywood plays its part, in suggesting that there is a way to unify the masses while fighting the bigger foe.

The government, on the other hand, would deny the existence of other-world entities, since these entities are covertly running the government itself. If you wanted to stay on the DL, you would create lots of smoke and mirrors elsewhere, diverting attention so that the masses will forget about why they were asking, and leave you alone to rule them.

Do they exist? No, says the government. Yes, says Hollywood (and anyone else who has any sort of higher connection with Source.) Yes? No? Yes? No.

This unanswered question, and the consistent discord around it, creates confusion and maintains separation and disparity among humanity. “Of course there are no aliens, you’re safe here. Now go back to work and don’t worry about a thing.”

Of course, I’m oversimplifying here. I want you to think for yourself about how you feel about a ruling body that keeps things from you, or if you even care. Need it run your life, either way?

Can you live a life without worrying about a more powerful force descending upon you like a giant shoe squishing bugs beneath it? Could you consider yourself as the creator of this giant scenario, all in the name of self-expression while learning about Who You Are?

When you take back your own power, you view your world from a state of peace and compassion for everyone’s unique role in this Earth experiment—and you envision life working out for everybody—then there is no force that can overpower you, whether that force appears in a human body, or in another form that looks “alien” to you.

Trigger Message: Shapeshifting

by Kimberly1 month agono comment

How do you present yourself to the world? Is it the same every time you leave the house?

The octopus is the ultimate shapeshifter.

This trigger message is created for those who may feel weary about the Lightworker’s responsibility for healing and saving the world.

It’s time to let that old, suffering martyr go, and try some new looks on for size. Shapeshifting is about finding the real you, and it is OK to change your mind! You can look differently, talk differently or move differently from one day to another, while still maintaining the authentic you at your core.

Go have some fun!

(There’s a blooper at the end).

Want to Really Help Someone? Use The Law of Deliberate Intent

by Kimberly1 month agono comment

Rarely does a day go by that we aren’t reminded that someone in our world is a victim; whether that be from a natural disaster, or a bad relationship, or physical illness. It could even be you.

The media is first to provide every juicy detail of victimhood in its daily news reports. And if you look at your own life, chances are that you were labeled a victim for something you experienced in your past.

It’s an easy trap to fall into. I’ve been there many times, from losing everything I owned in a hurricane, to losing a child, homelessness, and a painful divorce. I’m not alone; I am sure you can add your own experiences to mine, and we can hang out with other victims and talk about it. I was a great victim.

So easy to do. We receive sympathy, validation and undivided attention while we’re relating our woes. Victimhood keeps people in the spotlight; but that spotlight is never aimed at the solution. That’s where the Law of Deliberate Intent comes in.

The Law of Deliberate Intent dictates that what you focus on, expands.

So if your focus is on the details of victimhood, then victimhood persists.

Be careful with ego-fueled responses now. There is no doubt that people suffer, and it’s important that we ensure that all beings basic needs are met if they are in crisis. With the Law of Deliberate Intent, we go further and send out the intent that these “victims” move on to live safe, secure, abundant lives.

In other words, we stop focusing on them as victims, and instead focus on their well being. Recounting the horror over and over again just keeps us all in a low energetic cycle of darkness.

Here is the part that some people find hard to swallow. Whether or not you want to hear it, I’m going to tell you anyway, because hiding your head in the sand will only get you deeper into it as the tide comes in.

Every victim, everywhere, at all times, has chosen that experience on some level.

Yes. Even in the most extreme case of horrific, unthinkably diabolical actions. Every victim. Always.

That’s the way life on Earth works.

We incarnate for the opportunity for growth from the interaction with others. In order for there to be a wide array of opportunities for expansion, some people choose to play parts on the receiving end of negative actions. The potential for growth is huge, when you add suffering into the mix. This applies to both the victim himself, and to all of those who are aware of it.

That’s where you come in.

Instead of focusing on the “poor victim” situation, you can focus on those same people and send out the intent that they will fully recover and continue to live abundant, safe lives.

This way, you’re sending out Light instead of continually putting your attention on the Dark.

It’s not hard to do. You already visualize how you want your own world to look. You’re just doing it for others, by sending out positive thoughts, and the intent that the situation will be resolved to the Best and Highest Good for all involved. They may or may not recognize the life lesson involved in their victimhood; that matters not. That’s free will, and as you awaken, you’ll learn your power to send Light to others, whether they consciously accept it or not. You’ve done your part by shattering that victim label that so many others will still use.

This is how one person changes the world. Seems such a small gesture, eh? But it spreads. Your actions are noted on an energetic level by the collective, so why not make them focused on positive outcomes rather than dwelling on the occurrence that got that victim where he or she is?

Your focus on the positive outcome is a great use of the Law of Deliberate Intent: Focus on what you want, rather than what you don’t want. Your contribution raises the energy of the entire collective, which then makes higher-vibration experiences available to everyone. That’s how powerful you are!

This applies to every situation, everywhere, including your own!

Love to all!

VIDEO: 2019: No Prophecies! Just Weirdness!

by Kimberly1 month agono comment

Kimberly discusses 5 changes you could expect to see in 2019:

1. Experiencing more of the things you can’t see, such as Coyote Calls, which are phone calls from no one, as a synchronistic reminder that there are many signals coming to you from outside of your 5 physical senses.

2. Food choice changes. No judgment here, just notice the energy of the food that you put into your body. This doesn’t mean that you must give up anything, but you will probably do so naturally, and easily, if it doesn’t serve you.

3. Friends: Since you started your awakening process, you’ve probably lost a lot of friends. In 2019, expect to connect with new people who share similar vibrations, and who get what you’re about. You may also start to notice that the friends entering your world share some similarities. In Kimberly’s case, the souls meant to help on the journey at this time have names that all start with a “K.”

4. Gibberish: You may start to stumble upon reading material or videos in which the person sounds like they are talking gibberish. You don’t understand the words, the sentences or the intention of the message. This is great! Bookmark it because that information is being sent to you early. You will be referring to it later after a few more things have been unlocked in your coding.

5. Busting through limitations. Our society has programmed us to believe that we are powerless. We’ve been told that the human body can’t do things that it indeed can do. Kimberly discusses breatharianism and telekinesis as two examples of new abilities that will emerge after we bust through limiting beliefs.

Celebrate 2019 dear Lightworker! Things are looking much brighter, and remember you never go backwards! You are always evolving towards the Light!

Losing a Pet

by Kimberly2 months agono comment

It’s hard enough when Lightworkers lose most of their friends, but when the pets go too, great reckonings can occur.

As we expand, our frequency rises to attract those of like vibration to us. That’s why, when you do the inner work and relieve yourself of those negative belief systems while your friends are out getting drunk, that you end up alone for a while. It’s natural for we hermits to want some companionship, and turn to our pets for salvation.

Animals are a gift to this earth. They’ve been placed here to assist us in our growth: by the way we treat them, the quality of life we provide for them, and as a measure of the power struggle between man and beast.

Often, pets are the saving grace from near-insanity while awakening individuals spend immense amounts of time separated from the public, focusing their efforts within on self-improvement. Looking over at a cat curled up on the sofa can be enough to stave off the loneliness.

When we interact in a one-on-one basis with animals, we infuse them with our frequency. Every animal that interacts with a human gets a special badge on its signature; loving attention given to them while incarnated increases their frequency and provides them with a broader perspective of love than animals who don’t interact with humans.

If you’re interested in reading more about this, Dolores Cannon’s book Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spiritis a good place to start.

Know that when a pet leaves Earth, it is welcomed back to Source in its own manner, with love and respect. The contribution of this beautiful soul is recognized not only by those of us left behind, but also from the non-physical side as well. And remember, pets often come back into new bodies and make their way back to you! Look for similar quirks when you’re ready to add another animal into your life.

As for you, you get a badge on your signature as well. For you’ve shown great responsibility in caring for, loving, and cherishing a soul that often required your selfless contribution of time and money; with an intangible—yet priceless—return on your investment. This is a great opportunity for expansion.

Love to you!

RIP Taquita.

Cheers to a dog who, throughout her life, managed to eat an entire bag of Craisins (poison), a one-lb Nestle chocolate bar (poison), 3-dozen Christmas cookies (poison), and had a miraculous recovery from a scorpion sting through the ingestion of Wisconsin cheddar cheese. She passed away (no, not from poison!) after a very long life full of love, food and rolling around in the dirt.

if our bodies are made of light, why can't we live on fast food?

If My Body Is Made of Light, Why Can’t I Live On Fast Food?

by Kimberly2 months agono comment

We are living in a hologram. Simply concentrated light, bunched together in temporary form.

From any one individual’s perspective here on “the ground,” the world can seem so small. Yet climb that hill a bit, and the view becomes wider, more expansive. Your perspective is very different from a higher altitude.

When the synchronicities start flowing in due to alignment with Source, the hologram becomes more apparent. People and things come out of nowhere, right when needed, and right on time. The perfection of the orchestrated occurrences fosters the adaptation that our world really isn’t solid at all.

That’s when shit gets fun.

So, what about our bodies? They seem pretty solid. Nope. Not solid at all.

So if our bodies aren’t solid, what does it matter what kind of food we eat?

What does food–which can’t be solid either if we’re in a hologram–have to do with the whole situation?

It’s about energy.

Everything you encounter has energy. It carries with it the impression of every single soul who has interacted with it. And every interaction that occurs, changes the signature of each person, place or thing involved. The observer, and the observed. That’s called expansion.

That chicken you ate: it had a life. That stalk of broccoli? It was living at one time, too. Its natural instinct was to grow toward the light.

The chicken that got to run around and pick worms apart, and play with its siblings, will be of a higher frequency than a chicken that was stuffed into a cage with a dozen others, unable to move around and express itself. The quality of life greatly affects the energetic signature of any living being.

So although we technically aren’t solid, those who designed this “physical” world—with its self-imposed limitations that include a physical vehicle that still requires fuel—the energetic exchange still applies.

Your food provides the fuel for your avatar. And your choice of food provides further opportunity for expansion.

This is why, as you awaken, you will find yourself making better choices. You will naturally eliminate lower-frequency fuel, and choose food that feels good when you eat it. This will not feel like sacrifice. It is an innate instinct that was dormant in your coding, activated by you in the expansion process.

So do we even need food at all?

If you climb high enough on that hill to embrace a larger view, you will see that ultimately, you do not need food at all. Your trek up that hill will include releasing old beliefs and programming that will clarify your view. From a high enough vantage point, you would recognize life for the hologram that it is, and your choices will be from that perspective. You can survive on prana, or “life force”. This is also called love.

Yet, there are few people who have ventured to trek that high up that hill of unknowns. Few have taken the time to challenge the programming, to recognize the holographic nature of “reality.” And as such, those of us with those limiting beliefs will not be supported in living without food until we believe that love is all we need.

So remember that you’re eating energy, my love. Choose the highest frequency available to you, and honor it as the fuel that keeps you running.

Love to you.

Playing the Lottery to Practice Abundance

by Kimberly2 months agono comment

Want to play a manifestation game to get you more in alignment with abundance? The lottery is a perfect tool for that. And it’s cheap!

Manifestation = A desire + Intention + Feeling the vibration of something that you want.

It’s how everything in your world is created, by the way. You start with the thoughts–and feelings–about something, and you send out your intentions (either consciously or unconsciously, your choice! Repetition and perseverance further concentrate those intentions, until finally: POOF. It appears in your physical surroundings.

So what constitutes abundance anyway?

The concept of abundance is of the biggest lies fed to our Western society. And pretty much all of us are still struggling within the gripping net of limitation about our lack of it, and what it even means in the first place.

By now I’m sure you recognize that one person’s abundance is not another person’s abundance. The happiest people I have ever met lived in a shack made of mud, with one window and no door, on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. I’ve never seen any group exhibit more joy, despite their seemingly lackluster environment and lack of material things.

So before I tell you about playing the lottery, I want to emphasize that I do not consider having a lot of money as being abundant.

It’s about options, really. Having more money gives you more options from which to choose.

So, the lottery.

The lottery is the perfect playing ground for you to test your alignment skills. Since you know that feeling the way you want to feel will bring things to you that make you feel that way, it’s easy to imagine how your life could be more aligned if you felt you had more options, ie. more money.

And lotteries are drawings for gobs of money, nearly every day of the week. Money out of nowhere, to be sure.

And that’s where money really comes from. It’s an idea. It’s a collective idea. And ideas start from….nothing.

If you can view money as an instrument of trade, rather than a means to an end, it loosens some of that tangled web we’ve been trapped beneath.

Money is an idea, and ideas come from thin air. Having more money provides me with more options. I use it, with gratitude, as a tool.

So buy a lottery ticket. Choose numbers that mean something to you.

And once you have that ticket, you are on your way. You’ve served both your 3D belief that you have to DO something to get money, and you’ve unleashed your potential to dream.

Now add this. See if you can fit yourself into the following scenario:

You win the lottery. Lottery winners generally have a year to collect their winnings. Since you are a master of money, you choose to recoup as much of those winnings as possible, without losing half of it to taxes. So before you step forth with your winning ticket, you consult an attorney, who helps you form a charitable foundation. You create positions within the foundation for yourself, and your family, as employees of the foundation. You then plan to donate the largest amount of your winnings allowed by law to your foundation, thus avoiding heavy taxation.

It can take up to 12 months for creation of your foundation, so you can’t step forward with your winning ticket until your foundation is up and running. You won’t tell your friends, or your boss. It’s business as usual to the outside world.

12 months, sitting with a winning ticket, and you essentially can’t tell anyone. But you know it’s coming. There is no doubt in your mind that the money is coming to you.

How do you feel?

Excited? Anticipatory? Expectant? Are you ready to plan what you are going to do with the money coming to you?

Excellent. Feel those feelings, and start planning.

Now you are in the state of allowance. Stay there for as long as possible, and rock that shit.

Does this mean that you have to play the lottery every week?

Well, that depends on how strong your beliefs are that money must come to you through known channels. After a while, those limiting beliefs will fade away, as you see more and more evidence that money comes from all over the place. There is always a bigger picture than the one you can currently see, so allow the power of the larger part of YOU to do its thing.

I know that I spend $2 a week on much stupider things than practicing my alignment, so if playing the lottery keeps you in that excitement, then indulge yourself for the sake of growth and expansion.

Good luck, awakening master! And use that money wisely.

Trigger Messages,

Trigger Message: Your Morning Routine

by Kimberly2 months agono comment

So it’s morning, and you’re getting dressed for work. And who are you dressing for?

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

Do you love the person looking back at you?

Are you wearing the clothes that make you feel amazing?

Do you like what is reflected back at you, or do you focus on the faults?

I know that until recently, it was standard for me to survey myself in the mirror, and immediately look for the stuff that made me feel flawed.

And if you too don’t love that reflection, you are not alone. You’re actually part of the majority. And our society was designed that way, to make you feel separate and freaky.

We are programmed to disapprove of ourselves. It’s what fuels commerce in our Western society; after all, we consume more when we believe that the “fix” is in some new product, service, or group.

“From an early age women are exposed to statements and clichés, masked as advice, that dictate how we should look if we want to be accepted.”

That’s from the Dove site, which is doing all it can to break those old beliefs up and grind them under our feet.

But rejoice! As the world awakens, we are slowly breaking out of that cage.

From advertisers celebrating the diversity in the female form, to celebrities dissing Photoshop, we are learning that the difference between US and THEM…or ME and HER…really isn’t that disparate.

They have wrinkles! Their clothes rip! They bulge in places that we bulge too. Magnificent!

These are just a couple of examples of how our world is changing to be more acceptable of the natural diversity inherent in humanity.

We don’t all have to be the same anymore! How refreshing is that?

The more that the media uses “real world” examples, with a variety of models in the various sizes, shapes and colors that humans have chosen as avatars, the faster we’ll shatter that ridiculous web of enslavement we’ve entrapped ourselves in all this time. (And no self-blame please, since you’re the both oppressor and the oppressed at once.)

Try taking a real look at yourself in the mirror from every angle; even those that show your bulges, wrinkles, freckles and moles. Try finding five parts of you that you really like. Focus on them.

Try choosing clothes that you feel like wearing, based on your mood, or maybe the weather, or perhaps because that was what was laying around and it felt easiest to put on. Focus on how you feel when you’re wearing them.

You’re awake now, and every day you’ll break further and further away from the powerlessness you were taught to believe was the real you. You are creating it, my friend, so make it good.
