Dear Friends,
There is but one thing of which I am positively sure of. That life exists. It has been a common trait of the mind to think that death is the only thing in which we can be surely certain. But honestly, death as a process is really the one thing we know the least about. However, we do know that there is life. We live it, pretend it, covet it and even die for it. And this life is all about us. And our intent to live. And if we do in fact live, then our life must have some origin. If everything has a purpose, then there is some reason why we live. Do you know your reason to live?
The more we study life and the cycles hidden in nature, the more facts are found that sustain the belief that nothing is without purpose. You may chose to be a Christian, a Hebrew, or an Atheist. Never the less, regardless of which polarity of thought or ideas you stand in or are creating from, you cannot remove the fact that life exists. And all life is intent. The Andromedans have said that to their knowledge there is only one impossibility. Only one thing is impossible. That the beginning of life started out of an empty black void in which nothing existed, or in which there was no preceding cause or creative power. All other things are possible. This is not.
My friends, if we could see into the long endless past, and could trace back every preceding condition until at length we came to total emptiness, total blackness, total nothing, I’m told that this would be in fact attempting the impossible. Because the first simple rule of existence is this; all creation is and must be an endless chain of previous causes to account for a single life on earth or anywhere else.
This endless chain of intent and preceding causes never had a beginning, never began as the first moment or originated out of emptiness. Mankind is part of an endless process. Mankind is exactly the central link in a chain of intents. Which means that there are as many links and causes in the past as there are to be in the future. And I feel if we could count those that precede mankind we would find that same number of links and events and moments of intent ahead of us. Always be at one.

Creating a Race of Leaders/Leadership
Leadership
Dictated by Morenae to Alex Collier
What is important this present time in your world is to know the pioneer leaders of your past who greatly influenced your world today are removed from the hearts of the people today. The leaders of today, this present moment, should share and embrace the same faith, philosophy and objective as the people. They, the leaders, should thereby raise each of the governed to his or own level, according to the principles of consistency from beginning to end.
This mistakes, as we have studied and observed, are that throughout your history, hero-worship and fame-seeking has risen to the point of the idea your leaders are great and the general populace is ignorant and powerless. This concept in your country contradicts a true democracy and is wrong. So it shall be that individuals must and will awaken and united voluntarily. Some will be artist, scientist, and others from all walks of life. They will become teaching leaders of the people with whom they are working directly and will teach all men and women to be leaders. At the same time, it is also important that those who support them must become leaders also.
To be a leader in your world, we would only suggest that only the requirements be simple and evolve from the real essence of mankind. Leaders should be in absolute faith of their humanhood, declaring always, the greatness of God and self-responsibility. They should also have a strong sense of responsibility for themselves and those that they teach. A leader should always love his people, protect them, and encourage them warmly into their own power and humanhood. The leaders sense of responsibility will deepen by his affection of his role as teacher and father or mother.
When a leader lacks mercy or compassion, they will be self-serving and irresponsible. And a leader/teacher should always strive and be broad-minded. He should always try to be capable of understanding his member’s needs, and individual situations, and putting himself in their place. A leader should practice gentleness and forbearance, and be determined to hear the problems and teach guidance and self-determination to any person to establish self-faith and happiness.
A leader also needs to be impartial. He must not be swayed by his own feelings or self-serving considerations. Always eager to give a fair hearing to reasonable suggestions, but firm in protesting self-serving goals or mistaken views, even to his seniors.
Leaders should be careful of those that flatter them, as not to cater to their personal agendas. Leaders should cultivate the sense to spot cheap tricks, lies and sneakiness. He must also put the right person in the right place and be courageous about it. The idea is to build long-term integrity in all aspects of life and leadership. Always acknowledge the inconspicuous efforts of others, as all souls are part and contribute to the whole.
Your leaders should also have self-confidence, courage and decisiveness. Leaders must believe in their ability to protect his members and help them advance to self-responsibility so all may become determined. Those persons who have done the inner work on the path of being a true human being, acquire wisdom and are true leaders. They always have faith in themselves. Those who walk the path of heart will discover that through faith emerges wisdom. And this same faith enables the leader to employ his wisdom effectively in all situations.
Courage is indispensable to the leader. Leadership is no place for cowardice. Always strive to advance wisdom and courage. Building an honest and healthy race of human beings means producing a world of leaders of the true law of oneness. Development of faith, integrity and character is both the starting point and the end result. This will make all people capable human beings.
Every child born in your world is a new opportunity to build and honest and real world. Leaders need not criticize each error on the part of their members or staff. A leader should praise them for what they have done well and capably. There will be other people who will criticize. Being a leader or becoming a leader does not mean you have perfect faith or wisdom. These are life-long pursuits. Being a leader is to develop people, and to help people into self-responsibility, spiritual maturity and the freedom to cultivate voluntary introspection. Mankind can develop remarkably, even under adverse circumstances. When Earth awakens to her mission and towards her great objective, we will have full faith that you all will be successful, and a source of great pride to all of us.

How many times have you woken up and just known you were going to have a miserable day, and did? Or gone somewhere, knowing you’d have a terrible time and low and behold, you did? Whether or nor you’re aware of it, you decided beforehand what type of experience you would have and, guess what, you got what you asked for!
Well, I’ve got news for you. You personally had a hand in creating those experiences, and yes my friends, we can and do create our reality. If, in the morning we wake up to cloudy skies and crowded freeways, but still decide that we are going to have a great day, the likelihood of manifesting one is strong. Be aware that we are making choices constantly. Not to decide is a choice and we must take ownership of our decisions and be responsible for them.
If you don’t like the direction your is life moving toward then you might want to look inward at the choices you are making and possibly change your outlook, thereby changing your choices. Who we are now, and what we really want out of life today, is always the result of our lives’ programming - the influences - that have come from our past. Self-Talk is a method we can use to consciously create strong new self-directed programs in our own subconscious minds. Earlier negative mental programs can be overridden and replaced with new programs that create better attitudes, better actions and better results. It works the same way the brain was programmed in the first place - but now we are in charge of the “input”. Who we think we are and what we think we want are always the result of the programming we received from the world around us or from ourselves. Choose to make better choices. Change is good - sometimes scary, very scary - but without change we cannot learn our lessons, nor assist others in learning theirs. If you are truly interested in having more control of the direction your life is going by making better choices I highly recommend reading the book Choices by Shad Helmstetter. It’s an awe-inspiring book and on my personal “Top 10 ” list!
Realize that those you interact with will mirror your behavior without being aware of it. If you’ve decided you’re going to have a dismal day know that there are many people out there who are more than willing to oblige you to help you create your reality (no matter how hellish you desire it). Talk gruffly, demanding or rudely to others and more often than not you’ll get it back ten fold. What you throw out you will get back in return, so if you can’t take it don’t dish it out!
I notice that people (myself included, with emphasis) do not listen enough to each other. When someone begins talking to another and feels they have something vitally important to share and all that happens is they are ignored, or worse, another subject is brought up, it can be a very painful experience. It can make one feel small and insignificant, and if it occurs on a regular basis, lead to feelings of low self-esteem. Oftentimes people just want to know they have been heard and that another understands how they feel; that someone gives a damn. I say we all need to make the choice and really listen to one another.
Active listening (“AL” for short) can assist in opening lines of communication and breaking down barriers between individuals. By utilizing active listening we can avert many conflicts between individuals. Active listening entails feeling and communicating a genuine acceptance of one another in order to foster relationships in which we can grow, learn to problem solve, become more productive, creative, and yes, even balance our psychological health. A set of basic attitudes are required to be effective at “AL”. We must want to hear what an individual has to say by being willing to take the time to listen. We must sincerely want to be helpful and be able to accept another’s feelings, whatever they may be or how ever different they may be from our own feelings, or what we think they “should” feel. We must trust one another with each others ability to problem solve.
Don’t assume you know what someone else needs. Our society as a whole, possibly the entire Earth (my own personal opinion so if you don’t agree tough) is so anal retentive that we really don’t communicate when we speak. Oh, sure we talk, but not only don’t we listen, we don’t convey what we really mean, want, or usually feel. When utilizing “AL” we must put aside using our own thoughts and feelings (become selfless, not selfish) in order to attend exclusively to whomever is speaking. It will force accurate receiving of the intended message (which may be totally different from what is being said.) To understand how another person thinks or feels from his point of view is to place ourselves momentarily in his shoes. In doing so we will (guaranteed) run the risk of having our own opinions and attitudes changed. We must learn to be flexible…Change is good!
