Y'know, this is genuinely true, a couple of months ago in England in our biggest supermarket, Tesco,

we no longer sell curved croissants. We only sell straight ones because enough people wrote to Tesco

complaining that they couldn't jam on curved croissants. That's a

thing. British people - we've been defeated by bendy bread. That happened.

It's off the scale of just - "Dear Tesco, not being funny,

but I was going like that, and suddenly, there was

jam on the table.

So..."

But how can you... "Help!

Tony, it's happening again! It's happening again!"

The Real Reason Behind Blue For Boys & Pink For Girls - Duration: 5:28.

As anyone who's gone shopping in the children's section of a department store knows, there's

a clear pattern to what colors of clothes are usually available for boys and girls.

Yep, that'd be pink and blue, a distinction that's become such a tradition for dressing

up those little ones that it's often tough to find anything but the two basic hues.

But it wasn't always that way, and if you do some digging into the history of how we

identify our children, you'll find that there's a lot that went into making the blue-pink

dynamic such a mainstay of kids' fashions.

Plain white tease

Long before society latched onto these two colors, it was gender-neutral colors that

gained favor with American families.

For practical reasons, it was just easier for families to bleach soiled clothing items

if they were simply made with all-white fabrics, 'cause, you know, stuff happens...

"She's making poop face"

"What do you mean she's making the poop face?"

"Oh my god she's gonna poop in the tub.

Hurry up, hurry up, she's gonna poop on me."

"No that's my hat."

So white was really the preferred color for young kids to wear until they reached the

age of six or seven and started wearing more sophisticated and colorful threads like the

adults in their lives.

Vice versa

According to fashion historians, the idea of associating pastel colors with children

occurred around the middle of the 19th century, and it would take another seven decades before

specific colors were assigned to each gender.

But even then things were still quite different, as some publications deemed pink the ideal

color for boys since it was a stronger, bolder color, while blue was better suited for girls.

While some forward-thinkers from the era also suggested perhaps each baby should be dressed

according to his or her own features, like, say, eye color, the common gender association

of clothing colors was still beginning to take shape.

The first pink-blue divide

By the 1940s and the end of World War II, the gender-specific clothing trend was firmly

entrenched in the public consciousness for as simple a reason as that's what retailers

were pushing.

Rosie the Riveter might've been wearing blue, but once her man came back from the front

lines, she could trade in her oil-stained blues for the flowery pink aprons that became

her kitchen uniform.

By 1947, fashion designers like Christian Dior were advertising the clothing of the

postwar ideal.

And for women?

There was a ton of soft, flowing, now-feminine pink.

From there, we came to firmly believe that pink was the color for girls, while blue was

the color of snips, snails, and puppy dog tails.

Breaking with tradition

The emergence of the women's liberation movement kick-started the social change of the 1960s,

which put a temporary end to the dominance of gender-specific colors.

The idea that dressing girls in pink was going to encourage kitchen conformity gained favor,

and thus began the argument that there was no biological reason for girls to favor pink

over blue.

"Ooh delicious, stupid cookie…"

'80s backtrack

Of course, what goes up must come down.

A re-emergence of "blue is for boys, pink is for girls" fashion ethos for our pint-sized

citizens in the '80s had a lot to do with the most powerful thing in the world: money.

Finding out the gender of babies before they were born suddenly became a medical possibility,

and that meant retailers found a new way to capitalize on selling specific merchandise

geared toward boys and girls.

Given how many couples have more than one child and how many families have both sons

and daughters, that made hand-me-downs more difficult if dressing your second-born daughter

in your first-born son's clothes is going against social norms.

The feisty resistance to clothing-based gender association died down a bit by then.

The trend of dressing little Suzie in pink while Scotty wore his light blue was back

in style.

"It's a harsh world."

Modern times?

Fast-forward a few decades, and we're still seeing those familiar tones everywhere in

kids' clothing aisles.

"On Wednesdays we wear pink."

Recent gender studies have tried to get to the bottom of just why this is still a thing,

but it's something of a chicken-or-the-egg scenario.

Do we assign these colors to each gender because that's what they like?

Or do they gravitate toward these colors because that's what they're dressed in, and that's

what they see their peers doing?

One 2011 study offered babies the choice between two nearly identical objects.

One was pink, the other wasn't.

When they were a year old, there was no difference in the number that would choose pink or the

other color.

By the time they were two years old, many more girls were choosing pink.

By four, the gender divide was evident on both sides, with most boys now refusing the

pink item.

Noticing a pattern here?

It's still hard to hone in on what exactly inspires that pigment preference, but it's

clearly something that's learned along the way.

All grown up

If it's true that kids feel pressured to like pink or blue based on the gender norms they're

exposed to, the same doesn't exactly hold true in adulthood.

In 2012, a sociological study at the University of Maryland showed that when two-thousand

people were asked to choose a favorite color between blue, pink, and a handful of other

options, the overwhelming majority from both genders chose blue.

While very few of the men chose pink as their primary pick from the spectrum, there were

also few women who did so.

In other words, once we reach an age of maturity, that strong sense of devotion to pink might

dissipate with women, who gravitate towards favoring blue just like the fellas.

Looking for an Attorney Who is a Specialist in Georgia? - Duration: 1:38.

In Georgia, you're not even allowed to call yourself a specialist unless you've taken

certification exams which very few people, you can say I focus on this area of law or

that area of law, but very few attorneys have actually taken board certification exams;

I happen to be one who did.

I am board certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, the NBOTA.

I took my board certification exams at least fifteen years ago, maybe twenty years ago,

when it was just brand new and nobody did it, and in fact very few people do it now.

What it means is you can say I specialize in trucking litigation.

Wrecks caused by tractor trailers.

I specialize in medical malpractice cases and I've done a lot of trials, I've had

a lot of big verdicts in both truck wreck cases and in medical malpractice cases.

People need to look to the qualifications and the experience of the attorney that they're

talking to.

And I advise people, talk to more than one.

It doesn't cost anything.

You know, it's probably going to be the most important decision they may ever make,

other than who to marry and when to have children possibly, but, you know hiring the right lawyer

is that big a decision.

Consumerism—and what it means for you - Duration: 1:05.

Without question, 2017 will be a seminal year for the health care industry.

Regardless of the changes ahead, there's one thing we know for certain:

Real consumerism is shaking up the industry.

And it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Higher deductibles and co-pays mean consumers have real financial skin in the game.

Price matters.

Disruptive innovators are flooding the market, proliferating the choices for how to receive care.

Access matters.

New transparency tools provide actionable insight into the cost and quality of providers.

Performance matters.

Providers, health plans, suppliers – you name it.

No matter where you reside in the health care ecosystem, you're all asking what this new

consumerism means for you.

It's a dangerous world for those who don't see change happening until it's too late.

But, if you can deliver real solutions to consumer problems,

the market is ready to reward you.

For over thirty years, we've helped health care leaders set strategy and shape their future.

Today's landscape is more complex than ever.

Let us help you make your place in it.

All Assetto Corsa lacks as a "Racing game" - Duration: 10:07.

It´s no secret that the multiplayer side of Assetto Corsa is one of the main weak points

of the game. While it is able to produce a great driving experience, it fails to reproduce

the motorsport feel.

I said this before but adding private lobbies is not going to magically turn the game into

a good league platform. There are many more additions and features needed, and this is

what this video will be about. We´ll go slowly through an Assetto Corsa racing weekend trying

to identify all the little things that need to change to make possible a serious multiplayer

experience.

We will split this in 2 parts, in the first one we´ll talk about everything happening

before the race itself, from the menu settings that I think are missing, to changes

that would make practice and qualifying sessions much better. Then we will have a look at everything

wrong with the races, from race starts to how pitstops work.

In many cases the suggested improvements should be really easy to get working. I´m not talking

about fancy animations like the Formula 1 games have or anything like that, I´m talking

more about the rules and the environment. When you select a given car in this game,

you just get that car thrown in the circuit you selected, but there´s not an effort to

make it feel like an actual race from that series. It´s hard to put it into words so I´ll

just get going with the suggestions and you´ll get what I mean along the way.

A quick look at the current menus tell us about what kind of things we should be able

to control once private lobbies come. On top of the lenght of each session, we will probably

get control over what assists that will be available to all players. We can also see

the fixed setup option, I would expect the host to be able to turn it on and off too.

It is important that they don´t make the same mistake many other games have made in

the past about this option. In a lobby with this option turned on they should still allow

all players to select the tyre compound they will use and what fuel load the will take

for any session.

Fixed setups allow for an even play field and minimize the practice time needed for

events, so in certain cases it is a very useful option. However, if they don´t get this right,

we could end up having to qualify with excessive fuel loads or having to pit for races where

the car could go to the end easily. If this happens no one will ever use

this option.

There are other things I am missing here. The track grip levels and the temperature

make quite a difference. Players should be able to select whatever they want for their

races, and that should include an option to randomize all this stuff to make everything

a bit more unpredictable. As for the current online format, weather and track condition

is always random, and I think that´s a good call.

Car limitation is another thing they should give us control over. I am quite a fan of

this idea for public races or any kind of quick event, the grids look much better if

they include a variety of cars, and you are also forced to switch cars often, learning

a bit about all of them.

But for leagues they should offer the option to turn the car limit off and give the organizers

complete freedom over what kind of grid they want. And of course, they should add a menu

so everyone can choose their favourite livery, it´s criminal they forgot about that.

Another thing they should include is the ability to turn parc fermé on or off. And they should

be smart about it too. Right now all the public lobbies have it on by default, which I think

is a good idea. It isn´t the best rule in real life but it´s nice not having to build

special one lap setups increasing the practice time needed for events.

However, even if the option is on, it is not enforced properly. This is the start of a

qualifying session, let´s say I am preparing the car to qualify, taking fuel off the car

and bolting the softest compound.

Now, let´s jump ahead to the final minutes of qualifying. The game is about to boot the

race session, and as soon as it does it, we are locked away from the setup screen completely.

So why do I say this is not working? Because I can not change the fuel load or the tyre

compound now. I am stuck with whatever I qualified with. That means that we are forced to sacrifice

the final minutes of qualifying to change the fuel load and tyres or our race

will be ruined. This is quite stupid.

But it gets even worse: the way parc fermé works now does NOT make it impossible to use special

one lap setups, which is the whole point. We go back to the final moments of qualifying,

and you can see nothing stops me from making setup changes now. I could do my quali laps on

a special setup, and then load a race setup in the final seconds of the qualifying,

completely by-passing parc fermé regulations.

So, how should this work, you ask? It´s easy, your setup should be locked the first time you

leave the pits in qualifying. From then on you should only be allowed to change the fuel

and the tyre compound at any time, including the pre-race screen.

That way everything works as supposed. In a lobby with no practice, people still get

to load their setups at the start of quali, before going out. We also make sure people

actually qualifies and races with the same setup. And finally, that way we are not forced

to be in the garage in the final minutes of qualifying changing our fuel load and maybe

the tyre compound too.

OK, so now we got all the menu and rules stuff out of the way, let´s talk about qualifying sessions.

There´s a bit problem with them right now, and it´s the "return to pits" option. One of the most

exciting things about a real qualifying session is that you have to deliver right there and

right then. You have to do a fast lap and you can simply not afford to bin the car.

If you do it, you will start from the back. That is not the case in Assetto Corsa...

You can make all the mistakes you want and always recover. That promotes kamikaze driving

and changes the way you approach qualifying. You simply drive like a maniac until you manage

to complete a lap without crashing.

Let´s see what I mean. These are the opening minutes of a qualifying session. You can see

I haven´t scored any laptime yet.

If this happens to me, the session should be over. I should have got terminal car damage

and be out of qualifying. Instead all I have to do is to pause the game, hit the pits option

and... voilá, I´m back at the pits ready to go out again inmediately.

They should give this a big re-think. Even a game like Formula 1 ´16 got this one right.

The first thing I would change about race day has already been mentioned. We should

get partial access to the setup screen to change the fuel levels and the tyre compound.

Changing the "setup" tab for a "strategy" one would be the fancy way to do it.

Another thing I would change is the tyre blanket option being locked to off for all the multiplayer

races. Ideally we would have a formation lap and every driver would be responsable for

his own tyre warming, but since we don´t have it we should be able to control if we

want a start with cold or hot tyres. Some racing compounds work horribly at ambient

temperatures and that makes first laps way too dangerous.

Now, let´s talk about the race starts...

We should be given full control over the launch. Not having the ability to jump the starts

is not ideal, and having to wait in neutral and shift up to get moving is a bit weird.

We should wait with a gear engaged and release the clutch, like you would do in a real car.

Also, the game should stop messing with your clutch when autoclutch is off. Keep an eye

on the pedal bars of the HUD, I am not touching the clutch at all and the game is babysitting

me to avoid me stalling the car.

Pitstops are another area that need a complete re-think. At the moment we must select what

work is done in the car once we are parked, fighting with a menu. I can´t tell enough

how ridiculous it is to be stopped in your pitbox with the crew waiting around the car

while you tell them what to do. You know how hard it is to gain 5 seconds on another

good driver, but the way pitstops work right now it´s super easy to lose or gain 5 seconds if

your mess up operating this clumsy window.

Now, one good thing: repairs are not free like in Project CARS. While re-fueling and

tyre change are relatively fast, fixing your car is not. Any component you chose to replace

is going to cost you time, so you don´t get by default a new engine in every pitstop.

I haven´t checked if the time the refueling and tyre changes takes is different in every

car class, but in case it is fixed, and I don´t know if it is, then

that should be changed. If they have to drop the pitwork animation so be it, getting believable

stop times for every series is more important.

Now a solution proposal for the pitstop menu problem. I would like to keep the ability

to drive on the pits and having to stop on my box too.

A small menu in one corner of the screen that you could operate as you drive would be enough.

That way drivers could plan their next stop as they go down the straights, and arrive

to the pits sure about what they´ll get.

Driving down the pitlane with the speed limiter on should be a moment to relax, but at the

moment it is a very stressful time as you know you will have to play Tekken with your

D-pad and that you can make or lose seconds just by being better at moving fast through

a menu. That nonsense should go away.

Another possible option would be to create presets for your pitstops in some sort of

pre-race menu.

In every preset you would set an amount of fuel, a compound, and repairs. Then you could

cycle between all the presets you have created with a button as you drive.

Whatever they do, they have to make sure you arrive to the pits knowing what you will get,

and the pit work should start as soon as you park.

That was all! It´s quite a long list of things to improve, but the game is being updated

quite often, so one can hope for the best. Thanks for watching!

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT

MOST PEOPLE, WHEN IT IS LAID OUT

EXCITEMENT OF THE MOTIVATION IS

ANYMORE.

KATIE: YOU PAUSE AND YOU

REFLECTED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE

DOING AUTOMATICALLY AND YOU

DECIDED TO MAKE A DELIBERATE

DAN: GREENS.

YOU GOT ME ON THIS.

MY DAUGHTER THINKS I'M

EMBARRASSING.

THE OTHER DAY SHE SAID,

"DAD,

FUTURE SELF.

WHATEVER CHOICE WE MAKE TODAY

DIFFERENT WHEN WE ARE PAYING

FOR TOMORROW.

DAN: I SAID I WOULD BECOME

FLUENT IN SPANISH.

KATIE: IS THAT WHEN YOU HADN'T

GOTTEN YET?

DAN: NO

-- I BELIEVE I WILL BE A

BETTER BROADCASTER IF I MORE

FLUENT IN SPANISH.

NOT BECAUSE I'M SOME IMMIGRATION

-- ESPECIALLY WITH MY DRIVERS

LICENSE SPEECH RIGHT THERE.

I JUST THINK THAT TIMES ARE

CHANGING AND IT IS A GOOD THING

TO BE FLUENT IN A SPANIEL --

ESPANOL.

BUT I CAN'T GET TO IT.

KATIE: DECIDE RIGHT NOW --

EVALUATE, IS THIS STILL

IMPORTANT?

IT IS NONNEGOTIABLE IT IS GOING

TO HAPPEN.

THE QUESTION IS HOW.

WE KNOW THE WHY.

NOW IT IS HOW.

ONE OF THE WAYS TO DO IS GET

LISTEN TO IT ON THE CAR I CAN

LISTEN TO A SPANISH-SPEAKING

STATION.

STRAP YOURSELF -- SURROUND

YOURSELF WITH IT.

GO TO A SPANISH-SPEAKING

RESTAURANT.

EVERYONE ELSE AND

UNDERPERFORMING FOR YOURSELF.

DAN: DID YOU GET THAT?

COMES BACK TO THE WHOLE

SELFLESS-SELFISH THING.

KATIE: YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU FOR

ME AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF ME

FOR YOU.

HOW'S THAT?

DAN: THAT'S IT?

KATIE: THAT'S PRETTY DEEP.

IT IS PROFOUND.

IT IS EASY TO SAY.

IT IS HARDER TO IMPLEMENT,

BECAUSE WE ARE NOT WIRED THAT

WAY.

DAN: PEOPLE AROUND YOU START TO

NOTICE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF

YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT MORE, WILL

THEY REACT WELL?

KATIE: IF IT IMPACTS THEM, THEY

WILL BE FEISTY.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT IS GREAT

NEWS.

DAN: "HOW COME YOU ARE NOT

MAKING MY LUNCH EVERY DAY?"

KATIE: BOUNDARIES ARE

UNCOMFORTABLE FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

BUT THAT IS AN INDICATION THAT

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH.

DAN: ANY THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP?

KATIE: THAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF

LAST YEAR, LEADERSHIP RHODE

ISLAND.

DAN: OH, YOU DID THAT?

THAT IS ANOTHER SHOW.

KATIE: ALL ABOUT LEADERSHIP.

DAN: YOU GOT SOMETHING FROM IT?

KATIE: TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.

DAN: COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT

IT.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

DAN: MY GUEST JUST ASKED ME,

Co-Creating a New Paradigm for 2017

by Therese Zumi Sumner

TZ here � as this post is composed of channelled material I am advised to ask for reader discretion.

by Patricia Cota-Robles, December 30, 2016, eraofpeace.org

January 1, 2017 = 1-1-1 to January 11, 2017 = 1-11-1 or 11:11

As we birth the New Year 2017, Awakening Humanity and the Company of Heaven have set the stage

for a paradigm shift that will allow the masses of Humanity to transcend the negativity that

has been pushed to the surface for purification during the shocking and tumultuous events

that occurred in 2016.

I know that may sound too good to be true, but that is only because we have forgotten

the Truth of who we are and why we are on Earth during this auspicious time.

Please read this entire newsletter with an open heart and mind and ask your I AM Presence

to reveal to you YOUR vitally important part in this facet of the Divine Plan for 2017.

You are powerful beyond your knowing and the time for you to express your Divine Potential

is NOW!

When we make the mistake of judging reality by just looking at outer appearances things

can seem overwhelming and sometimes even hopeless, but nothing could be farther from the Truth.

The Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth are working tenaciously to help all

of us remember that we are multidimensional Beings functioning on many levels of consciousness

simultaneously.

They want us to KNOW that the physical plane of Earth that we think of as being so real

is actually the least real of all of the dimensions we abide in, and this physical plane is the

very last dimension to reflect the changes that Awakening Humanity has God Victoriously

cocreated in the Realms of Cause where everything begins.

The New Earth was birthed in the Realms of Cause on Dec. 21-22, 2012.

In 2016 we reached a critical mass of energy, vibration and consciousness that allowed the

Portal of God�s First Cause of Perfection to be opened to full breadth.

This means that now the patterns of perfection for the New Earth are flowing unimpeded into

the mental and emotional strata of this planet.

These patterns reverberate with the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline frequencies of Transfiguring Divine

Love, Oneness, Reverence for ALL Life, Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance.

But in order for these patterns to tangibly manifest in our daily lives you and I and

the rest of Humanity need to invoke the Light of God to Transmute the surfacing negativity.

Then we must empower the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God by deliberately

focusing on them with our thoughts, feelings, words, actions, memories and beliefs.

The first eleven days of 2017 are providing us with an opportunity that will catapult

the Earth and ALL Life evolving upon her forward in the Light.

This Gift of Light from On High is designed to help not only Awakened Humanity, but Humanity

en masse to be the Open Door for the patterns of perfection for the New Earth.

Our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven have affirmed that the greatest need of the

hour for 2017 is for the patterns of perfection from the New Earth that are associated with

Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance to become a tangible reality for every person

on Earth.

To assist with this urgent need of the hour the Beings of Light have given us an Activity

of Light which I have included in this newsletter.

These selfless Messengers of our Father-Mother God said that they will empower our invocations

a thousand times a thousand fold every time we participate in this Activity of Light.

PLEASE listen to your Heart and be the powerful Peace Commanding Presence and the Open Door

for the Light of God that is your Divine Destiny during this Cosmic Moment.

THE FIRST ELEVEN DAYS OF 2017

According to the Company of Heaven, an unprecedented influx of Light will be anchored on Earth

through the Divinity of every person�s Heart Flame by his or her I AM Presence during the

first eleven days of 2017.

Then each person�s I AM Presence will be able to use this Light to assist with his

or her greatly accelerated transformation throughout the rest of the year.

We were informed by the Beings of Light that this new frequency of Light will be instrumental

in bringing the Truth of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth into the hearts and conscious

minds of the masses of Humanity.

The realization of this Truth will be a critical factor in lifting Humanity out of fear and

completing the purification of the human miscreations that have been pushed to the surface all over

the planet during the events of 2016.

It will also be a life-transforming factor in manifesting the patterns of perfection

for the New Earth associated with Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance.

Numerically 2017 is a ONE year, 2+0+1+7=10 and 1+0=1.

One is the number that reflects rebirth, transformation and new beginnings.

New Years Day, January 1, 2017, will be 1 (month) 1 (day) 1 (year) = 1-1-1.

Eleven days later, January 11, 2017, will be a 1 (month) 11 (day) 1 (year) = 1-11-1

or 11:11.

Eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the

Divine.

11:11 is the sacred geometric coding within Humanity�s DNA that began initiating Humanity�s

Awakening several decades ago.

Many people have been oblivious of this subtle motivator for our Awakening, but with the

new frequency of Light we will receive in January we are being told that will no longer

be the case.

The first step in this Activity of Light is for us to Transmute the surfacing negativity.

VIOLET FLAME INVOCATION FROM SAINT GERMAIN

I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity.

As One Voice, One Breath, One Heartbeat, and One Energy, Vibration and Consciousness of

Pure Divine Love we invoke the most intensified frequencies of the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline

Solar Violet Flame of God�s Infinite Perfection that Cosmic Law will allow.

Saint Germain and your Legions of 5th-Dimensional Violet Fire Archangels, we ask that you blaze,

blaze, blaze the Violet Flame of God�s Infinite Perfection with the power and might of a thousand

Suns in, through and around every thought, feeling, word, action, memory and belief that

Humanity has ever expressed in any time frame or dimension, both known and unknown, that

is reflecting anything less than Heaven on Earth.

Transmute this energy cause, core, effect, record and memory back into its original perfection

and seal it in an invincible forcefield of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance.

We accept that this Activity of Light is being God Victoriously accomplished even as we Call.

We also accept and KNOW that this powerful Violet Flame is increasing daily and hourly,

moment by moment, with every Breath we take until this Sweet Earth and ALL her Life have

Ascended into the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Light on the New Earth where Eternal Peace

and God�s Infinite Abundance are a tangible reality.

THIS IS AN ACTIVITY OF LIGHT FROM THE COMPANY OF HEAVEN GIVEN TO HUMANITY WITH THE DIVINE

INTENT OF COCREATING THE PATTERNS OF ETERNAL PEACE AND GOD�S INFINITE ABUNDANCE TANGIBLY

IN THE LIVES OF ALL HUMANITY.

I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity.

What I invoke for myself this Sacred and Holy Day I invoke on behalf of every man, woman

and child on Earth in perfect alignment with each person�s Divine Plan and the highest

good for all concerned.

This is possible because WE ARE ONE and there is no separation.

As One Breath, One Heartbeat, One Voice, and One Energy, Vibration and Consciousness of

Pure Divine Love, we invoke our Father-Mother God and the entire Company of Heaven to assist

the I AM Presence of every person on Earth to God Victoriously accomplish this facet

of the Divine Plan.

Beloved Legions of Light throughout Infinity, we ask that you gather up every electron of

precious Life energy being expended by Humanity in any way during this sacred time.

Purify this energy with the power and might of a thousand Suns using the New Solar Frequencies

of the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Violet Flame of God�s Infinite Perfection.

Weave this purified energy into the collective Cup of Humanity�s Consciousness, so that

every single electron of precious Life energy being released by the Sons and Daughters of

God on Earth at this time will be used to cocreate and tangibly manifest Eternal Peace

and God�s Infinite Abundance for every person belonging to or serving the Earth at this

time.

Beloved Father-Mother God, we ask that you expand your Flame of Transfiguring Divine

Love which is pulsating within the Divinity of every person�s Heart Flame forming the

foundation upon which Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance will manifest.

Create from this Sacred Fire a Heart of Love.

Allow this Heart of Love to expand and expand through each person�s Heart until it envelops

the entire Planet Earth blessing every man, woman and child.

As this Gift of Divine Love bathes the Earth, every atomic and subatomic particle and wave

of Life on this Planet is being lifted out of the chaos into a Higher Order of Being.

(pause)

This unprecedented influx of God�s Divine Light now flows into the mental body, the

conscious mind, the subconscious mind, the superconscious mind and the physical brain

structure of every man, woman and child on Earth.

This Gift of Light from our Father-Mother God is balancing the right and left hemispheres

of each person�s brain, and activating his or her spiritual brain centers.

Through this Activity of Light each person�s pituitary, pineal and hypothalamus glands

and the ganglionic centers at the base of their brain are being restored to their full

Divine Potential.

Now utilizing this powerful Gift of Light, each person�s I AM Presence recalibrates

the circuitry within their physical brain structure enabling them to withstand a higher

frequency of Divine Consciousness than ever before.

This Activity of Light heals the fragmented circuitry that has prevented Humanity from

communicating with our I AM Presence and the Company of Heaven.

The I AM Presence pulsating within each person�s Heart Flame now creates the sacred space that

enables that person to open their 5th-Dimensional Crown Chakra of Enlightenment to full breadth.

This allows each one to communicate with their I AM Presence and with the Company of Heaven

on a conscious level while reaching, day by day, ever higher into Christ Consciousness.

As I hold the focus of my attention on the Light of God that is flowing through every

person�s physical brain structure, I clearly see Humanity�s physical, etheric, mental

and emotional bodies being flooded with the resplendent Light of God.

This multidimensional, multifaceted, free-flowing 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light expands

into every cell of Humanity�s Earthly Bodies allowing the I AM Presence of each person

to take full dominion of this experience.

Now, all is in readiness.

Through their I AM Presence, every person on Earth will participate at both inner and

outer levels in this Activity of Light, which will raise the consciousness of the masses

and assist every recalcitrant soul to shift from a consciousness of separation and duality

to a consciousness of Transfiguring Divine Love, Oneness, Reverence for Life, Eternal

Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance.

Within the embrace of Divine Consciousness, Humanity now experiences an endless ocean

of Light that flows from the very Heart of our Father-Mother God into our Crown Chakra

to be anchored in our Heart Flame.

With this influx of Light each person KNOWS, �I AM That I AM.

I AM the Open Door for this celestial ocean of Light.

I AM the Light of the World, and my time for higher service to Humanity and ALL Life is

NOW.�

This cosmic ocean of Light now intensifies, flowing unimpeded through Humanity�s physical,

etheric, mental and emotional bodies.

As each person assimilates this Gift from On High, they release into the Light all thoughts,

feelings, words, actions, beliefs and memories that are based in the consciousness of separation

or duality from ALL time frames and dimensions both known and unknown.

The I AM Presence of each person now affirms, �All that I AM, all of the God Perfection

that flows into my Crown Chakra of Enlightenment is manifesting through me now AS the New Earth.

I AM resting in supreme God Confidence.

I AM opening the 5th-Dimensional Stargate of my Heart to full breadth.

I AM One with my Father-Mother God and all of the Powers of Light throughout Infinity.

I AM ready now to magnetize the NEW and previously unknown patterns of Eternal Peace and God�s

Infinite Abundance from the New Earth tangibly into my life.�

GOD�S ABUNDANCE IS THE PATH TO ETERNAL PEACE AND ETERNAL PEACE IS THE PATH TO GOD�S ABUNDANCE

Now new and unfathomable Golden Rays of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance from

the very Heart of our Father-Mother God are flowing through the newly opened Portal of

Divine Cause into the cup of my consciousness.

This Golden Light is pulsating with frequencies of 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light

beyond anything Humanity has ever experienced.

Contained within the essence of this Golden Flame of Eternal Peace is God�s Infinite

Abundance, and contained within the essence of God�s Infinite Abundance is the Golden

Flame of Eternal Peace.

I breathe in deeply, and I become One with this Golden Light as I enter the secret place

of the Most High Living God within my heart.

As I enter this sacred space on the Holy Breath, I AM open and receptive to the impulses pouring

forth from the Heart and Mind of God.

My I AM Presence reveals to me that the hour has at last arrived, and the Divine Fiat has

been issued by my Father-Mother God for the Divinity pulsating within my Heart Flame and

the Heart Flame of ALL Humanity to be given full Liberty and Freedom of expression.

My I AM Presence rejoices in this Divine Edict and will now give me every possible assistance

in manifesting the patterns of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance tangibly in

my life.

I AM this very moment becoming a Keeper of the Golden Flame of Eternal Peace and God�s

Infinite Abundance in accordance with my Divine Destiny.

My Earthly bodies are being brought into perfect balance, and the latent powers encoded within

my Heart Flame are being released.

The abilities I have developed over aeons of time that will assist me in cocreating

Heaven on Earth are being brought into a balanced state of true mastery within me.

The Immortal Victorious Threefold Flame within my heart now expands and expands.

The Blue Flame of my Father God�s Divine Power and Will is empowering the Golden Flame

of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance in the hearts of ALL Humanity.

The Yellow-Gold Flame of Wisdom and Illumination associated with Christ Consciousness and the

Sons and Daughters of God, is enlightening every person�s mind to the Divine Truth

that Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance are inseparable aspects of our Father-Mother

God�s perfection.

Our Mother God, the Holy Spirit, is now directing the Pink Flame of Transfiguring Divine Love

and Adoration to Breathe the Golden Flame of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance

through every person�s Heart Flame, thus flooding the Earth with this Divine Essence

to lift up and bless all Life.

And all is well.

(pause)

I realize these are days of great acceleration due to the influx of Divine Consciousness

that has been flooding the Earth since the birth of the New Earth in 2012.

The vibratory action of every facet of Life is being stepped up the maximum that Cosmic

Law will allow in every 24-hour period.

The NEW frequencies of the Golden Flame of Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance

that are now flowing through my Heart Flame will assist me in maintaining balance through

Earth�s Ascension process.

This will allow me to experience the bliss and joy of this glorious Activity of Light

in new and profound ways.

I AM now experiencing a higher octave of my Godhood, and my Father-Mother God are able

to easily move through me.

My eyes are becoming blazing Rays of Light through which the Light of God will now flow

to bless all Life.

My hands are becoming mighty conductors of God�s Healing Power.

My lips are becoming the instruments through which God�s words are formed and directed

into the physical plane of Earth.

My feet are walking the Path of Light.

My Lifeforce is NOW the vehicle through which God enters the world to Love and serve all

Life.

I now realize and accept my unlimited ability to do whatever is necessary in order to establish

and expand Eternal Peace and God�s Infinite Abundance in my world and the worlds of all

Humanity.

Through my thoughts, words, actions, feelings, beliefs and memories I AM a mighty, balancing

Activity of Light pulsating in, through and around every electron of Life on Earth.
