PENDLETON, Ore. — The stretch of rural Oregon interstate where a tour bus crashed through a guardrail and plummeted 100 feet down a steep embankment is so notorious that state transportation officials have published a specific advisory warning of its dangers.

 

Nine people were killed and more than two dozen injured when the charter bus veered out of control around 10:30 a.m. Sunday on snow- and ice-covered lanes of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon, according to the Oregon State Police.

"There is a formula that goes like this: "Peace of Mind" comes when persons or a society are "centered." Centered-ness comes from certainty. Certainty comes from only one place: the recognition of patterns. So when a person or society has recognized a pattern as great as all of Creation, there is great certainty and centeredness and there is great Peace of Mind." - Ian Xel Lungold

Congratulations we have completed the initial stage of "Restoration to Wholeness". You have opened yourself to new perspectives and manifested your part within the New Dimensional era. The year 2012 was about transforming consciousness, taking responsibility in helping to turn the tide, and finding balance within Self in order to get your human self and your Spirit communicating again. After lifetimes of Soul fragmentation from the immersion within duality it feels exhilarating to move toward the next transition and a new adventure here.

Before 1979, there were less than a dozen known sungrazing comets. As of December 2012, we know of 2,500. Why did this number increase? With solar observatories like SOHO, STEREO, and SDO, we have not only better means of viewing the sun, but also the comets that approach it. SOHO allows us to see smaller, fainter comets closer to the sun than we have ever been able to see before. Even though many of these comets do not survive their journey past the sun, they survive long enough to be observed, and be added to our record of sungrazing comets....

God said:

Have some mercy on yourself. You have been merciless when it comes to you. Even if you are one who boasts, you are trying to boost your spirits with a pretense. Your boasting is bravado. Better to admit your true evaluation of yourself. To be honest is merciful. It is good to know which floor you live on in the apartment of your self-evaluation. You have to get on the elevator from the floor you are on now.

Maybe there is no elevator. Maybe there are no floors. Maybe there is only one place you can be, and that is with Me. Yet, in terms of life on Earth, We can talk about floors and up and down and elevators and escalators.

You can exaggerate yourself in terms of the world. In terms of Who you really are, there is no exaggeration. You are a Child of God, and you are My beloved child, so, be it. Why not accept yourself as you really really are?
