Empowering ourselves bravely
I think the time has come to be forthright.

Who are you?

Do you have any idea? What have you done to try and discover who you are and what you can do, here on this planet, in the time?

Are you a gardener? Then you probably appreciate nature and have gifts in the area of nurturing. You commune with nature, with the elementals, (unknowingly perhaps) and most likely have gifts, latent or not with nurturing people as well, healing emotional and mental wounds in others is probably easy for you.

Are you imaginative? Do you find your happiest moments in writing or art or graphics. Do you lose track of time working on creative projects? You may well be an intuitive.

Does technology and IT call you. Do you find that you can solve complicated mathematical or computer related problems? Are you energized when you are writing code or figuring out a networking or OS problems? Do you enjoy puzzles, word games or math brain teasers? You are probably gifted with skills that can find solutions to problems and advance humanity in all of the areas listed above.

The problem with humanity is that we have been duped into thinking that we have no power. We have been taught to listen to the voice of others, to obey and revere authority but we have NOT been taught to think using both sides of our brains. Most people have chosen to use one side or the other and it has been at great expense.

Logic has never been more important but neither has intuition. We cannot cast one aside at the expense of the other. We must balance our logical brain with our creative side and then merge the two in order to find the solutions and move bravely into the 21st century. It must be recognized and developed if we are to have any hope of creating a better world in a short period of time.

Technology and intuition are about to unleash incredible gifts on our planet but we must be able to use all of our gifts and advance together, merging the two sides to advance rapidly.

There are simple ways to develop gifts that are latent and there is much to learn in your own area of expertise. I KNOW that anything is possible and that great strides can be made right now in the midst of this turbulence and drama.

Find your skill sets and start to use them. Figure out where you want to make a difference. Working on finding solutions in our everyday lives and then sharing those with others. There is only one way to ruin our chances of success and that is to believe that we are better than others. The ego has to compete and be first and it WILL be the downfall of many, many people and projects.

Who are you?

1. I am
and not sure that that can be fully explained :)

Intuition and following inner guidance is the way to go now, I think. No need to rely solely on other people for guidance (go to others, of course, if inner guidance tells you to!). Be ready to BE, and to explore new facets of your being, as guidance directs.

2. No explanation is necessary, for at least for me
I think we are going to have to come together both within ourselves and with those who are ready to move forward. Who knows how this works though, I can't remember it ever being like this before. I can definitely feel a shift though.

3. I've been trying to do this, OB. I've found that it's difficult to merge...
the two sides of my brain. I'll continue to work on this.

I absolutely agree with you in reference to the ego being to downfall. It's wonderful when we are able to live life when the ego is not calling the shots. It gets easier with practice, but it's easy to fall back into that pattern when angry or scared. (For me, especially when angry.)

I appreciate the reminder.

4. Dream I think when we start to compete or beat each other up over
ideas and thoughts, then we're in trouble. As far as basic negative emotions (anger, guilt, fear) those are normal.

I have always felt that you are very intuitive and extremely empathic. I absolutely do not see you hurting anyone for your own means.

I don't see that in you.

:hug:

5. Hey OB
great post.

Did you see this?

If so kindly excuse any redundancy but it addresses similar issues.

I think we're all feeling Pluto's pending ingress into Cap under a wobbly Mars.

Maybe let's all consider being more mutually supportive now.
