Blessings and thanks again for choosing to share your light here, at my place. The last few weeks have been incredibly eventful and found me taking very specific actions, at the direction of Spirit, without a clear understanding of the rationale. Oddly enough, a medium and friend contacted me out of the blue with the singular message that I was to continue trusting the directions from my guides and angels.

Purpose Over Adversity

To fully appreciate adversity in our lives, it is essential to understand its purpose. This ascension process finds many of us undergoing numerous challenges that require us to let go of people and situations in our lives that no longer serve our highest and greatest good. The trials can be devastating at times but it's essential that we keep in mind that this is Spirit's way of assisting us, as far as our spiritual and energetic evolution.

At this time, many Light Workers are being presented with innumerable opportunities to balance karma; this is a key component to progressing towards their ability to access and utilize higher vibration energy. Angels, as well as returning ascended masters and starseeds have been performing this over the last several years but there has never been such a pronounced global phenomenon as now.

Another key aspect to keep in mind, as we weave our way on the Ascension path, is that each new challenge faced, allows us to access a whole new set of guides. If they did not think we were suitably educated or experienced, the level of difficulty would never increase. The simple fact is that they believe in us. I draw incredible strength from this admission every single day. There is a direct correlation with muscle growth, in that it takes steadily increased resistance to improve stamina and strength. Each adversity gives us the chance to really see how powerful and empowered we truly are....and the sheer number of spiritual guides, protectors and mentors we have access to.

So when adversity strikes, regard it as a temporary condition that you have the skills to overcome. You're not being punished but rather purified. If these occurrences are happening more frequently, know that you have been placed on the "fast track" and you will be needed in the very near future. Whatever the mission or role, only you have the experience, talents and training to fulfill it. Never doubt that the Creator always chooses wisely.

Lord Maha Chohan

It was He that enfolded Jesus in His Cosmic Flame at the time of the baptism by John the Baptist, endow-ing Jesus with His powers. It was His action when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Disciples ten days after Jesus’ Ascension; that was the radiation from the Lord Maha Chohan. He enfolded them in His Cosmic Flame which gave to them the assurance, courage, strength and power to carry on the teaching and works of Jesus. “The Comforter” referred to is the Lord Maha Chohan. The first Maha Chohan who came with the first root race in the beginning established the Flame of the Holy Spirit and the Comfort Flame here on Earth. The three Maha Chohans of the first root races have each gone on with Their race. Feminine Beings have held this position.  The Maha Chohan is at the head of the Elemental kingdom; and is the authority over manifestations in nature. He draws and supplies the energy used in all nature and by mankind. He is the magnet to draw that power from the Sun. He directs the various forms of culture and civilizations through the minds of embodied individuals so as to unfold and develop according to the divine plan. The Maha Chohan is the One Who gives the first breath to every new born child; He also takes the last breath of every individual as he passes on. It is said that the great Ascended Being, who is now the Lord MAHA CHOHAN, was embodied as HOMER, the blind poet.

The unsung scientist who invented the 'death ray' and inspired the creators of Batman and Flash Gordon
Curses! Ming the Merciless is assembling his intergalactic troops on Planet Mongo and is about to annihilate Earth! There's only one thing for it - send for Harry Grindell Matthews. Who? Er... That'll be Harry 'Death Ray' Grindell Matthews, eccentric British inventor and the genius behind a real-life laser-gun that Flash Gordon and his comic-book colleagues could only have dreamed of in the 1920s. Mr Grindell Matthews designed the fiendish machine in the wake of the 1914-18 war as a weapon for knocking enemy aircraft out of the sky.

New watch 'tells the future'
Swiss watch-makers have teamed up with Indian fortune tellers to design a watch that claims to predict the future. The watch features a bedpan-shaped section which turns brown when "the s*** is about to hit the fan", claim the makers. Swiss makers Borgeaud say the bedpan turns brown when dark astral forces are about to strike and will not clear until the bad omens have passed.

Can numbers tell the future?
"Knowing," the Nicolas Cage movie, is the latest Hollywood tale to play off the idea that our future is already determined by the numbers, if only we knew how to interpret them. Does the universe really work that way? The answer is no ... yes ... maybe. If you think you can predict the dates of future disasters by checking numbers on a piece of paper, as Cage's character does in the movie, you might want to consider seeing a therapist. But if you think you're seeing the same plot twist happening over and over again, it's not all in your head.

Liquid saltwater is likely present on Mars
Salty, liquid water has been detected on a leg of the Mars Phoenix Lander and therefore could be present at other locations on the planet, according to analysis by a group of mission scientists led by a University of Michigan professor. This is the first time liquid water has been detected and photographed outside the Earth.

On his return from church one Sunday, Calvin Coolidge was asked by his wife what the minister spoke about. "Sin," said Coolidge. "What did he say about it?" asked Mrs. Coolidge. "He was against it," replied Coolidge.

When someone twitted Calvin Coolidge for his habitual silence, he replied, "Well, I found out early in life that you don't have to explain something you haven't said."

Speaking of a certain lawyer, Abraham Lincoln said: "He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas better than any man I ever met."

During the early days of the Civil War, General McClellan's waiting tactics and indecision irked Lincoln to the point where he finally wrote: "My dear McClellan: if you do not want to use th army, I should like to borrow it for a while."

When Jimmy Walker was mayor of New York, an adversary trapped him in an outright lie. The reporters asked him what he had to say to this. Walker smiled and said, "Another good story ruined by eyewitnesses."

"All the politicians," said Jimmy Walker, "have three hats: one they wear, the other they throw into the ring and the the third they talk through."

Clarence Darrow was having trouble getting a coherent story from a hostile witness. Finally, the witness said, "Mr. Darrow, how can you question my word? I am wedded to the truth." "Ah," said Darrow, "and tell us how long you have been a widower?"
