CHRIST SPEAKS ABOUT EMOTIONAL PATTERNS
Your emotional patterns can be as damaging to your overall welfare as your mindset. Your mindset together with your emotional patterns are your creative tools.
These together create the necessary outlines for future possessions, events and circumstances. These CREATIVE TOOLS work in your life whether you intend them to or not.
It is far more difficult to discover your deep-seated emotional attitudes either conscious or subconscious than to recognize your mental conditioning.
People can be possessed by negative emotional patterns and be quite unaware of them, since they are covered by the moment-to-moment emotions arising from the daily routine.
To discover what your emotional patterns really are, ask yourself questions along the following lines, and be totally honest with yourself. To try to hide from the truth of your emotional patterns is merely to deceive yourself and hold yourself back from achieving the joyous state of existence you were intended to enjoy.
How do you really feel about LIFE? I want you to write yourself a warmly compassionate letter, telling yourself exactly how you feel as you answer the following questions:
Are you happy to be alive or would you prefer to be able to cease to live? If your truthful answer is the latter, then you have a negative attitude towards existence and are at war within yourself at a deep level. You know, consciously, that you have to continue your daily life but at your deepest level you would like to quit. The interior war prevents you from attracting all that you could be experiencing with a positive emotional pattern.
How do you really feel about your relatives? Is there any buried hostility which you do not want to admit or that you did not realize existed?
How do you feel about your employment, colleagues, entertainment, other races, etc. Write down all your discoveries about yourself and lock it away in a safe place.
This work you have done for yourself is for yourself - only for your benefit. You have not done it to make you a better person, or to please 'God' or to win approval from other people. You have done this work to remove existing inner blocks to your spiritual development and ultimate happiness.
If you decide to change your life by reading these Letters daily, I urge you to put your dated letter in a safe place. Re-read it in a year's time and rejoice in the great changes which you will see have taken place in your mindset. You will also see that there have been changes in your circumstances.
Remember that prayer and meditation focused entirely on your Creator will bring you new strength and insight which, in tum, will bring changes to your feelings and environment.

I learned a few years ago that the story we were taught in grade school about Thanksgiving wasn't wholly the truth.
I'm a modern American mutt with obscured family history. A lot of the details are unknown, lost to tumultuous relations and distorted stories I was told and then untold. My grandma Sharon (pictured below) was Sauk. She passed away on my 12th birthday. I was taught little about our family history but always got the sense that it was a topic of pride and honor. Yet it's not something I flaunt because I feel a sense of imposter syndrome, having minimal traditional knowledge.
I imagine I'm not alone in feeling this way. Hundreds and hundreds of years have passed since European nations collided with the first people's of this land. Some tribes have dissolved. Others merged to avoid eradication. Many are, to this day, sequestered to small portions of land with minimal resources. Many of us grew up as bastards of Native America. Not part of a tribe and with little history to rely on. At the same time, that blood running through our veins is loud. It demands to be acknowledged and honored.
When I first found out that many Native Americans spend Thanksgiving in mourning, I felt shame for not knowing the truth. I spent so many of them surrounded by family who warred over things like who got to make the green bean casserole as they gossiped over how bad Aunt Judy's mashed potatoes turned out.
But then I realized, there is still a purpose behind today, even if most Americans do not know the truth, or take it for granted. And one thing I know about Native culture, is that gratitude is a practice of great respect.
So today I wanted to share the truth about Thanksgiving as I've come to understand it. Not to make anyone feel bad or ashamed. Not to send anyone into mourning. But because I feel like the truth is more important than telling stories that make us feel good. And the truth makes room for a deeper gratitude when looked at from the right lens.
In 1621, 90 of the Wampanoag people and 52 English settlers sat down for a feast. For the English settlers, they were celebrating a successful harvest that they were able to achieve in large thanks to the Wampanoag people for teaching them how to work with the land. They taught them how to successfully grow the "three sisters" aka corn, beans and squash. Native peoples traditionally show gratitude for every gift of nature. From the water, to the air we breathe, to the seasons and to the food. It is seen as a blessing. A reward for hard work.
The Wampanoag people shared this practice through the first thanksgiving feast for a couple reasons. For one, they believed in honoring mother earth. In giving thanks to all she provides. And for another, it was a strategic move. They were being threatened by other tribes, by other European settlers and relations were highly volatile. One wrong move could start a war. This was an offering on their part, towards partnership and resources. Manpower.
This strategic move paved the way for strong diplomatic relations between the European settlers and the Wampanoag tribe. So much so, that both joined together against the Pequot tribe in the Pequot War where it's estimated that at least 700 Pequot were killed. This included women and children.
The conflicts that took place during this war affected conflicts that took place later on. Trade routes were changed. Lines were drawn. Land was captured. European colonization rippled across our nation as more and more tribes were massacred and disbanded.
It's important to know the reality of the history on days like today. Not just what makes us feel good. Many of us have not seen war like our ancestors did. Some of us have seen worse. And it's easy to sit here and say that any of us would've made different choices. But one thing I've seen in my life, is that the culture you are raised in largely impacts your degree of entitlement and how you display things like humility and compassion. In every culture I've encountered, there are those who are shunned for having outside views or practices.

We may have outgrown slinging arrows and spears or raids in the middle of the night - but we still ostracize, gossip and condescend to those who were raised in differing cultures. I can't count the number of churches I've been to who preached "we are the one true church and everyone else is deceived, corrupted".
Wars are still being fought over these very things.
So when you sit down for your thanksgiving feast today, I hope you consider the real truth of what this day represents. Not how it started. Not what we were taught in class. But of what it stands to represent when taking into consideration everything that has occurred in the history of our Nation.
We are a people merged. Our differences do not make us better, or worse than one another. They make us interesting. A million variables had to take place for life as we know it to be forged. For so many different histories and beliefs to reside on the same block as each other.
Today isn't about whether we smoke or bake or fry the turkey.
The real history stands as a reminder to teach our children about cooperation, sharing, compassion, humanity and generosity. Teach them humility and to be examples of what it looks like to tolerate differences. That believing one thing, or being raised one way doesn't inherently make a person better than another one. Teach them to respect the earth because it sustains life. Teach them to respect each other because the same Spirit that made them, made every other person in existence - no matter what we call it or the stories we were taught on how we came to be.
To be thankful for what we have today, because we never know what is waiting for us tomorrow.

Gm! Weβve had some very powerful energies coming in over the last few days. Yesterday felt particularly euphoric for me. Sort of an βallβs right with the worldβ kind of feeling.
And, yes, I know about the NG troops and the bullshit playing out. Iβm not even talking about that. Itβs more of an overarching sense of Peace that has settled into my life. Has anyone else been feeling something like that?
Anyway, hereβs our Schumann as of 0600 hrs PT / 0900 ET / 1400 UTC
