Massacre in Las Vegas by American Terrorist!


Without providing evidence, Islamic State claims Las Vegas attack and says the shooter converted to Islam months ago.” LASVEGASNOW.COM

 

It was a country music concert. Folks swarmed onto the field ready to enjoy the fun and festivities. On the last day of the concert, a lone gunman took aim and shot at the thousands of unsuspecting concert goers who were enjoying the current performer, Jason Aldean. What occurred in Las Vegas was once unfathomable. However, that’s no longer the case and the horror has struck. Almost 60 people were murdered and over 500 were injured! It’s still hard to wrap my mind around it. My heart goes out to all involved. I pray for the souls who left so violently, for all the family and friends, for all those in the concert and in the area. I give a deep salute to all the first responders. I pray you peace in heart and mind. Such tremendous distress you are all witnessing. I feel this for my sisters and brothers in Puerto Rico, Texas, Florida, St. John’s, Barbuda, St. Thomas, Mexico, and many other places, including Venezuela. But back to Las Vegas, a man who shares my age took 10 weapons, a machine gun, and set up a room where he could execute people en masse? This is not the usual act of a man in his older years. A young man who knew nothing of how to value life, he pulls these horrendous types of stunts, not a man who should have been growing wisdom, not hatred. So, does this mean Paddock is not a national terrorist?

Words are so interesting and they matter. How Paddock is described by mainstream media says a lot about and will say a lot about how the white-owned media defines white men, especially, when they are the protagonists of great violent acts. They will rarely be read as monsters, beasts of evil, terrorists, or even white supremacists. Nope, they’re just “regular guys.” Until there is, at the very least, a handle on white privilege, there will be these heartless crimes. This is what we don’t realize. This mass murderer is being normalized. Even talk of gun control, after all the carnage of Paddock’s massacre, is considered “premature” by the White House. They must not have lost any family and friends at the concert. So, they can afford to NOT talk about the most basic gun control for a country that desperately needs control!

Within the fabric of this country’s founding is that this land belongs to the white man to do with as he pleases. Who dies, who becomes extinct, who loses consciousness, who is abused in any shape, form, or fashion, who is brutalized, terrorized, and brain-washed is all part and parcel of the founding of this land. No, it was never great, never ever! People, land, culture, and soul are constantly sacrificed. Nothing Divine is given great value. Instead, the most immoral, inhumane, terrorizing behavior is condoned or normalized. We must see this and NOT ignore it or we become it in ways that at first escape us. Careful. Know yourself. Get deeply in touch with yourself. Take quiet time and talk with yourself. How is your heart feeling? If it’s hurting deeply. This is the time to give it your attention. Pull away from the “news.” Know and face your own fears, especially the ones you usually repress or deny having. Get in touch with yourself and start seeing what in you needs your focus. You can’t see you and get to know you if you don’t stop moving and listening to chatter and petty things or if you are overwhelming yourself in the sea of bad news.

Even if you are in trauma yourself, you can take a few moments throughout the day to quiet yourself and breathe calmness into your being. Taking these breaths, relieving yourself of toxins, clears your being. Even if you have heavy problems, taking deep, cleansing breaths relieves your body of levels of stress that would eventually cause you physical or mental maladies. Inhale deeply but calmly. Hold the breath for a few moments. Exhale slowly and calmly. Welcome calm into your breath and, thus, into your body. While taking these breaths, feel a deep connectedness with your sense of God/dess, whatever you call it, or your higher mind, Infinite Oneness, Holy One, The All, however your Divine be called. If you are atheist, perhaps, just breathing calmly and feeling hope in each breath. A clear mind allows you to see more options and solutions. That way you can make wise choices. You can turn the car around even though you really wanted to go in the direction you were traveling. When you are in a clearer state of mind, you can hear when to turn around and you will not doubt the guidance.

Remember what is at your root is your gold, your peace, your safety, your guidance, your direction, and your protection. Or, it is your demise. Choose to awaken. Wake up. Drop the need to anesthetize yourself with unhealthy substances or with excess anything.Your health, clarity and safety are at stake. Don’t take my word for it. Wake up. See for yourself. Prepare and KNOW Divinity! It’s your Saving Grace. Remember, Love does not have a race it supports over another! Love is Love! And, it’s the answer to most any problem. Start from a place of Love! ❤ ~ #dafinaisms

Let’s Awaken, Beautiful People!

We have entered a time where our inner grace is constantly challenged. It’s part of our experential earth life stuff. We are here to evolve and, geez, it’s just not for the feign of heart. So, it’s crucial that we surround ourselves with powerfully positive thoughts, people, and information. Choose to be the solution. Start with self. Seek out the wisdom, the Love, the beauty, the calm within yourself. Tell yourself the truth at all times.
 
Drop your deceit, lies, knives (the backstabbing ones) and pick up your reasons for growing, developing, expanding…Once you set intention, fascinating things start to happen. You notice the light in a child’s smile. You realize your neighbor’s sour face is because s/he is lonely and needs a smile, a helping hand. You find yourself feeling calmer for no apparent reason. You chide away from negative talk, especial gossip. You choose not to berate a person, or curse a person. In other words, you begin to be the change you want to see in others.
 
Our Souls are awakening. Our time is now. Our need is Love, respect, compassion, resurrection and to know when to retreat. Please take good care. We are all in growth mode. The rest is on us. Seek the help you need. You’re not alone. Actually, you’re in GREAT company! Smile often. Forgive often. Hug yourself and someone else. Walk away from those who do not have you in mind. Love will win in the end, but it’s a ways away. So, keep it motivated. 😉 Please remember: Every journey begins with the first step.
Love YOU, I do! ❤

RED BLACKBERRY JOYRIDES THRU SAN FRANCISCO!


Always found this blog post an hilarious way to get over losing my Blackberry, all the notes, files, contacts and music. Humor is healing.

Life has gotten way too serious! BREAKING NEWS: This just in! Police Report given by Oakland’s Licensed Acupuncturist, Dafina Kuficha: “Who knew when I got out of the taxi,

CAB DRIVER: BENITO FOURATUCCI

my assistant,  Ms. Red Blackberry, had remained behind, and sadly with all my precious business and personal documents still in her possession. I didn’t realize it right away as I was rushing to get to the parking lot in time to avoid paying extra parking fees. You know I could pay a third of my office rent for what it costs to park in San Francisco.  Sorry, I digress. I asked Ms. Red to phone my publisher and when she didn’t reply, I turned around and she was nowhere to be seen. That’s when I realized she did not leave the taxicab. “Ms. Red hadn’t been herself lately. She and the cab driver had been flirting. After…

Life Is Precious/Save One Today, Part 1


There are many who curse the person who in a “selfish” moment take his or her own life. However, unless you’ve suffered through depression, especially severe depression, your judgments are misguided. Depression is not your usual sadness. It’s a touch of that, but much, much more. The mind of a depressed is fragile, at best. They often wear the mask of “all’s well,” but they haven’t found that to be so. They are often besieged with thoughts of worthlessness, and it often doesn’t take a lot to get to that place. There also may not be anything apparent in their lives that the average person would consider “bad enough” to even consider suicide. However, we must always remember that people wear masks to hide behind because often they have not received unconditional Love and support that

If you or someone you know is having a hardIMG_8993 time, please know there is someone out there on that same page. Please know that there are many of us who would hold your secrets and judge you NOT! Please know your mind can and does lie. You are NEVER worthless. The standards this society sets for worthiness are unreachable and unreasonable. We have become conditioned to see worth as a matter of possessions, not as a birthright.

When you’re in trouble, remember, there are suicide hotlines with people waiting to be attentive to your needs or to the needs of those whom you refer. Those ears are there to hear your problems. In my profession as a licensed acupuncturist, I have treated and referred patients who were suicidal. There were times when I was able to recognize the signs, and other times, I could hear it in their story. Folks go through a lot. I’ve often wondered, after listening to their stories, how some of them get out of bed in the morning. And, then, there are those who don’t have a tangible problem, but their mental/emotional wiring is a bit off. There is no difference between them and those who have lost a child or their job or their homes. Pain IS pain! When we know our value, nothing can take us down. KNOW THYSELF and to thy own self be true. How? Deepen your spiritual base. “S/he will remain in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee. Take thought inventory. From where do your thoughts derive? What tape keeps playing in your mind over and over again. Replace negative thoughts of self with positive ones. It’s a practice. You’re not going to believe them right away, but keep working with positivity. Smile inside. Warm your own heart. Hug yourself. Take small steps, but take steps to assure yourself that your life is precious, worthy and important, especially to YOU! And, no matter how it seems, your life is important to others, too. I know it’s important to me!

Here is the number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255. Keep it close and share it with someone you Love. If you have the heart to listen to people needing help through depression and suicidal thoughts, perhaps this is a good place for you to train.

Let’s choose to be present for each other. No, we can’t help everyone, but we can surely acknowledge when someone needs help and make every effort to assist them, as we are able. We are ALL in this together! Love is a big part of the healing, as is acceptance.

Brrrr, It’s An Intensely Cccold Winter! What to Do!


WINTER LANDSCAPE Photo by Tesnim Shoemaker

WINTER LANDSCAPE
Photo by Tesnim Shoemaker

Many cities in this country are preparing for an Arctic freeze, meaning a lot of people of all ages and conditions will be experiencing dangerously low temperatures. I affirm that there is NO where Divine Good is not, even where it seems an impossibility. However, it’s not enough to pray for your good, you have to help it manifest. Some of the weather conditions will reach record lows that have not occurred for many decades. Thus, many who are in the midst of these extreme temperatures may have no idea how to handle them.

So, with you in mind, I have written this blog and posted a few links at the end of my blog to further inform you on how to survive, even enjoy, these extreme conditions safely. (Oh, quick shout out to my dearly treasured family and friends  and to everyone facing extreme cold, I, we, are praying you warmth, safety, protection and to fare well during these very intense climatic times. Now, please read on…)

Do wear a lot of layers (4), starting with a soft shell, followed by a layer that gives you wind & water protection. The layers trap air. There are never too many layers. Keep your neck, the back of it, particularly, your mouth & nostrils, hands and toes well covered. It’s better to have too much clothing than too little.

Sitting in your car while it’s idling in the snow can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, especially if the back of the car is buried in snow. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the symptoms of cold, but since the car is running, they may be a bit more apparent: fatigue, nausea, dizziness and headache.

Do use wisdom when keeping warm inside your homes. Fireplaces should have the logs fitting within the fireplace, not hanging outside of it. Also, make certain the chute is open so the carbon monoxide does not overcome your room or home. That actually happened to me a few years ago when I was living in Sacramento. I went to bed as the rest of the logs were burning out. I did not realize my chimney chute had closed. Thank goodness, I went to sleep with my bedroom door closed as I would usually like that heat to keep me warm. When I awakened, I could hardly lift my head from the pillow it hurt so badly. I finally got myself up, dizzy with the banging headache. When I opened the door, the room was filled with smoke. I grabbed something to cover my mouth and nose and opened all the windows. Some writer could have been using me as an example of why you want to be absolutely certain your chimney chutes are open when you are using your fireplace.

The other story is that of a dear friend who cleaned out her fireplace a few days after burning logs and papers. She absentmindedly put the seemingly cold remains of the fire in paper bags and left them on her back deck. By midnight a fire was raging and she and her husband were thankfully awakened by neighbors. Fortunate for them, they were alright and had to wait a couple of years for the renovation of their home after the fire.

Another danger is space heaters. Not only do you have to be certain the cords on the heaters are not worn, you must also be concerned with where you place the heaters. Too many people have lost their lives because they have gone to sleep and the heater caught something on fire or the cord was worn and started a fire. Also, please be careful using your oven to heat your home. Most local gas companies send out safety information for using gas items to keep warm. Any flammable items should be used cautiously and with wisdom. You cannot be too cautious!

If you are out and about during the extreme cold, keep blankets and an emergency kit in your car. It’s also important to know that symptoms of hypothermia can occur very quickly in extreme cold conditions. You may also be on the lookout for any signs in people you pass who may not be as fortunate as you to be properly dressed or sheltered. The following list is from www.mayoclinic.org and lists hypothermia symptoms and here are a few of them:

“Shivering is your body’s automatic defense against cold temperature — an attempt to warm itself. Constant shivering is a key sign of hypothermia. Signs and symptoms of moderate to severe hypothermia include:

  • Shivering
  • Clumsiness or lack of coordination
  • Slurred speech or mumbling
  • Stumbling
  • Confusion or difficulty thinking
  • Poor decision-making, such as trying to remove warm clothes
  • Drowsiness or very low energy
  • Apathy or lack of concern about one’s condition
  • Progressive loss of consciousness
  • Weak pulse
  • Slow, shallow breathing

A person with hypothermia usually isn’t aware of his or her condition, because the symptoms often begin gradually and because the confused thinking associated with hypothermia prevents self-awareness.” – By Mayo Clinic Staff

Do phone, text, email, as you are able, family, good friends, or young folks who may not be exposed to how to survive during harsh weather conditions and share these tips with them. This info may be life-sustaining for them. Keep a lookout for others whom you may pass during your time outdoors. Give generously to people who need a hand.

I just want you to know we are thinking of you, praying for you, and knowing that your needs are met. Please keep your tempers and choose to quiet yourselves when needed, keeping your tempers in balance and your fears controlled. This is a good time to reconnect with family members with whom you live. Sometimes life’s hustle and bustle keep us from really stopping to hear and know each other. After awhile, families are more like strangers. So, you may choose to find some games, projects, or the like to keep engaged with each other, especially if you’re forced to be indoors.

This is a time to share with those who were not, are not as prepared, for whatever reason. Kindly put your judgments aside as those folks may be facing life or death situations and you may not be aware of that at first glance.  Please also check on any elders you know, or anyone you know may be vulnerable during this time. Keep your children close and highly informed with common sense approach to being out in the cold. See that they have a list, not on their phones, but in their pockets of emergency numbers they may need to call. Let others you trust know their route from school or perhaps form a team of parents to keep all the children safe, especially the ones whose parents will not be as attentive. Remember: All children are our children. They’re safety is a community affair.

While you’re out, do let your folks know where you’re going and your estimated time of return, just in case they need to look for you because a blizzard occurred.

Remember: There are Divine Angels all around you. Call on them to assist you. You are never alone. Most High bless, guide and deliver you as needed. Be wise, please.

And, To All A Good Life!


Happy, safe, & enjoyable Holy Holidays to ALL!

ImageWhatever your belief, I hope this season finds you to be of good heart and generous character. We are all in this together and during this season, especially, we are given great opportunity to develop and express the spirit of brother & sisterhood to all, not just those in our circles, of our own race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. We can choose to honor and respect ALL life. We can choose Love over hate, acceptance over intolerance, and we can choose to exemplify standards of morality that will aid our children in respecting and Loving themselves and each other.

These are beautiful times, and yet, highly emotional times for many, many people.  While some of us will be enjoying connecting with family and friends over a great meal on Christmas, others will be grieving for those who are not present at the table this year. Others still may not have a table at which to feast. As well, there are families missing children, parents, friends, and even pets. There are those whose lives were upset by natural disasters and they have not recovered. We have so many unemployed who are stressing to bring home gifts for their children, or just food. There are people who are justly or unjustly incarcerated. They may be inhumanely treated even if their crime is minor. There are wars being fought and service men and women who will not be home for the holidays. While we have a lot for which to be thankful, the challenges may scream louder than our voice of gratitude. We are reminded to keep a soft light on in our hearts for our fellow sisters and brothers who are experiencing hard times. There are young folks without families who care about them and it becomes more pronounced during the holidays.

Suicides are on the rise during the winter season. S.A.D. aka Seasonal Affective Disorder may not be easily recognizable, but here are some signs Mayo Clinic asks us to watch out for:

  • Depression
  • Hopelessness
  • Anxiety
  • Loss of energy
  • Heavy, “leaden” feeling in the arms or legs
  • Social withdrawal
  • Oversleeping
  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Appetite changes, especially a craving for foods high in carbohydrates
  • Weight gain
  • Difficulty concentrating

The holidays also tend to have people rushing around for gifts, holiday parties or just running to get that last task completed before taking off on holiday vacation. Rushing causes mindlessness and accidents of any nature can occur. This is a time to slow down and take heed of what’s in your surroundings. You may be running around so quickly that you don’t even realize you didn’t hold that heavy store door open for the next person, who may have been an elder, a child or a person with physical disabilities. Or perhaps, you have a long list of gifts to buy and didn’t find that item at the store you’re at and need to make a mad dash to another store. This may result in your driving too close and not have enough space to stop when the car in front of you brakes without warning, or speeding and losing control. And, those Christmas parties may have you drinking a bit too much. You can avoid the backlash if you keep your mind with you. Plan ahead and decide to drink and behave responsibly. Believe me, there is no better gift than the gift of life. No gift you can give is better than you being able to show up or to stay alive and safe.

There are those who have gone through tumultuous times this year and are thrilled to be beyond the depths of their struggle. “Yay, it’s over,” is their cheer! Their gift is that they can now finally exhale after months or a year of great trials. There are others who need Forgiveness and to Forgive a large or small transgression. Whatever the case, let us strive to be vehicles of goodness to ourselves and each other. We do not know what another person is feeling when they have that scowl on their face. It may be an incredibly hard time for that person. They don’t need our grief to add to their own. And, unless they are doing harm, we can ignore a bit of rudeness or meet it with a smile, if we just let ourselves slow down a bit and consider what another may be feeling beyond the surface.

This is a time for deepening, cleansing, and releasing what no longer serves our good, especially our Divine Goodness. Please take moments of Silence throughout your day and give thanks for your many precious treasures. Taking moments of Silence also allows us to make better choices with our reactions to adverse situations, avoiding the off-the-cuff responses for which later we may need to apologize. Let’s choose to keep an open Heart for those who may need our Kindness and Compassion. Tis the Season to Forgive. The best changes start within our own selves. Let us be of service where we are guided to be, and use the power of Prayer, powerfully positive affirmations when we are shown our place is to be on the sidelines, not to meddle or interfere in another’s process. Every season is a season for growth and new understandings. Please keep your focus on remaining safe and choose to do no harm.

The very best to you ALL! And, to all a good life! ❤

Choosing Vibrant Health 101


As a child, when my older sister & I would get into trouble, my parents would sit us down for the much dreaded family talk. Mom would rant and rave about how our friends were responsible for causing us to be in trouble. My father would sit back for a spell, allowing Mom the space to express her disappointment. He didn’t agree with her analysis though, much to my chagrin. Poppy, as I lovingly called him, wanted us to realize our power of choice. He’d often chide us with his ever-familiar chant, “You are responsible for your choices and behavior, not your friends, not your sister. YOU!”

What responsible choices can you make for your optimal health? Our health education should begin while we are young children. We should be not only be taught the importance of brushing our teeth and keeping our wardrobe neat and clean, but basic things, like how to care for our reproductive systems learning proper hygiene practices to prevent infections. We should also recognize indicators that let us know our health needs attention, like the importance of knowing what our urine and stools look like. Is the urine yellow? Are the stools formed? Do they come out easily or with force? All these are indicators. If the urine is yellow or the stools don’t release with ease, it may be as simple as needing adequate hydration, increasing our intake of water throughout the day. Children and adults alike should know the dangers of sodas to quench thirst and the value of water. 

We should all know the value of good nutrition and that we are not going to get it at MacDonald’s or in any other fast food outlet. Fast foods generally have little to no nutritional value. We need to know what our bodies need daily to operate optimally, choosing to eat whole foods like fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and healthy drinks. If you’re a meat eater, choose to eat free range or kosher meats, fish. Please be mindful to avoid or greatly minimize your consumption of the fish that are endangered due to overfishing and overconsumption. Continue reading

Help, I Fell off my Heels!


“The Worst Shoes for Your Feet” WebMD

Do you really thing it’s a good idea to wear those high-heeled stilettos? Oh, yeah, occasionally, maybe, depending on the condition of your back, legs, feet, ankles, balance, but regularly is just plain dumb. Do you like being able to bend your knees when sitting or stooping? Do you like being able to walk pain-free? Are you interested in developing osteoarthritis of the knees, plantar fasciitis, a tear in your Achilles tendon, or eventual deformity of your feet? No? Really?

What about if you trip and fall while crossing the street or when you step into a crack on the sidewalk? When I was a kid, the saying was, “step on a crack, you break your mother’s back!” We avoided them like the plague. But you won’t have to worry about your mother’s back, though you may have to worry about your own if you fall off those ridiculously high heels. Of course, you could luck up with a badly sprained or broken ankle that has a 50-50 chance of properly healing.

Next time you say, “I would die to have a pair of shoes like those,”  referring to high-heeled stilettos or high heels period, rethink  if they’re really worth all the trouble they can cause your body’s structure. You may not die, but you may lose your ability to walk, run, skip, and jump without great discomfort. Oh, not right away, but after continual usage, the body adjusts to being thrown off kilter and it’s not with a cute walk either. While wearing stilettos may be considered sexy and stylish, it may not be worth the long-term price you may have to pay, or the short-term, for that matter.

You do know that you can change your mind about what your find fashionable and still look fabulous? High heels can cause more problems than they’re worth and you could use the money you save not buying stilettos and put it towards your dream vacation in the Caribbean or wherever your heart desires. Remember to travel with comfortable shoes though.

Be courageous, reevaluate your view of beauty and fashion. Remember, most of those designers don’t care about how their fashion affects your health. But, you should! You’ll love me later.

Commit to Inner Calm


Keep a calmness in your spirit to which you can always return. Keep forgiveness in your heart for though the fields will not always be lush and beautiful, your heart can always be Loving. ~ Dafina Kuficha

Traversing Life’s Abyss, The Soul’s Alchemical Journey


As we wander through hell, we catch glimpses of Heaven. Keep your eye on Heaven and the rocky paths will be easier to navigate.

The abyss may seem foreboding, but don’t let it stop you from your growth.

Please do not send me replies worrying about me. I am an open book. When I struggle, I share it so that others can know there is a way out of the valley. I traverse valleys and know there are paths that lead out. However, those paths are not always easy to find. Sometimes we need help and want to ask for help, but others act like they’ve never traversed a valley. So, some of us  travel through alone, often taking longer than would be necessary if we had support or we never find our way out. That’s the tragedy of not recognizing ourselves in each other.

Traversing a valley, an abyss, means this, your Soul is giving you a great opportunity for growth and change. You are being invited to pull off old skin, and it can be a very painful process. Why do you think so many run from it? You see all these folks doing so much in the community and in the world, but really, they are in deep pain. They’re just wearing a mask and are afraid of traversing the abyss. So, they hide. They hide and make you feel as though you are alone in your sorrow. NO! You are in good company. This is a time of Soul awakening! It’s not personal. We’re all being tugged in some aspect of our lives, whether we admit it out loud or not.

Thirsting on the Path.

The Soulwork connected to traversing the abyss, walking through the valley allows you the opportunity to release false belief systems, useless habits and relationships. The valley has food, even if it doesn’t taste good.

I know this because I know valleys. In the past year and a half, my path has been arduous. It’s been a most humbling and revealing experience. I thought it was depression, and some of it was, but mostly, it was that I was going through great inner transformation, and was trying hard to control the process. I felt my skin coming off in front of people. I was dying, but it was an egoic death, the death of choice.  I was being made anew in the midst of intense personal and life challenges obstructing my path. The challenges came in many forms, deathsof Loved ones, great illnesses of Loved ones, financial pitfalls, and my own illness from exhaustion and need for change. I was given little time between the challenges to even catch my breath. Though I knew it was a necessity if I was to fulfill my Soul purpose here, I tried to control it, take it in small doses. Haha, that never works when the call is complete transformation.  My Soul has always been very important to me, and it was time to liberate myself from old ways of being in the world. Simply, the alchemical fire

Golden Light of Soul Alchemy

had begun and my Soul’s longing for its fullness would not be denied. It was clearly my time for tremendous growth.

Through traversing the valleys, the abysses of life, I have learned that there are clusters of light in the darkest of places. It has taken remarkable courage and patience for me to walk through, trod through, crawl through the valley, especially this time. This journey has been a deep, painful and magnificent journey for the evolution of my Soul.

Life for all of us is rapidly changing and to get through this time, our feet need to be firmly grounded in Divinity. Otherwise, we will not only misinterpret our challenges, we will succumb to them. When you traverse the abyss, when you step deeply into yourself, quiet and center yourself, you avail yourself to receive the guidance and teachings of the Masters. You are reminded of who you truly are and your purpose becomes clearer. You will realize that you are allied with others who are also traveling the path of the Soul. As soon as you make the intention to be successful in this journey, your intention harmonizes with Divine Intention, and your most urgent needs are met in ways you couldn’t have imagined.

Your Soul journey may be arduous, but you will come out aglow, liberating your soul and removing calcification around your heart that have prevented you from fully embracing your life’s potential. You will see yourself clearly, flaws and all, and Love yourself even more, because instead of being ashamed of your flaws, you realize they are necessary for your life journey. You realize that your flaws are not who you are, but what you pass through. You can still Love yourself and have flaws. They tell you what needs attention, what needs changing. They are not meant to cripple your journey, but to give you information.

Light and darkness transforming the Soul.

It’s the alchemy of the Soul to wander in darkness and find light. Finding yourself is the outcome.  “Know thy Self” and to thy own self be true. From there your compassion, Love and respect for all life will be contagious to those around you by vibration alone.

In these times of great emotional stress and turmoil, we get to learn what is truly valuable within ourselves. We get to know who we truly are and release those things that do not speak of our Divine nature. We get to know Divine Grace and become one with it.

No, this is not a path for the weak of heart, but your soul longs for this path. Like the Masters of Life, Buddha, Krishna, Yeshu‘a, known as Jesus the Christ, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Mother of Yeshu’a, and many more whose names are unknown to us, we all have our days in the desert. Let courage accompany your journey. Your heart will strengthen and your Soul will evolve. What greater gifts can you realize? The glitter of the outer world will no longer call you to respond in want, but to realize it as glitter and what is truly of value in life will no longer elude you.

This is our time, y’all. Unite in the Spirit of Divine Change and Transformation. The earth is excreting its bowels and the worst in human nature has and will continue to be revealed. Revel in Life’s beauty. We will hear awful news, and still know, we are in transformational times. The world is on evolution. The worst and the best will convergence in harmony.

We are living in a time of great and potent cleansing, and it requires patience, forgiveness and Love needed to withstand it. We are ALL in this together. We become the change we want for the world as we brave the alchemical fire that turns us into Divinity’s precious jewels. RISE EMPOWERED!

There is no is no human possession of greater importance and value than that of a transformed Soul. ~RDK
