Blessings to all. May the blessings of God be upon you. May God’s peace abide in you. May God’s presence illuminate your life. Now and forever more. This is a song many of you know. There is a lot of truth in these words. Notice them. May the blessings of God be upon you. Can you see God’s blessings raining down upon you as if it were a shower? May God’s peace abide in you. When one connects to God/All That Is, there is a sense of peace that engulfs you. May God’s presence illuminate your life. By connecting to the Divine, a light shines out through you face that can be seen by others. You might hear them say that you appear to be glowing. Now and forever more. That means God’s Love, Blessings, and Peace are continuous. It is not finite. Allow this incredible blessing to enter you life. Bless your hearts.

Cynthia has been described this way: "Take the best therapist you have ever experienced along with an amazing healer and psychic - toss in some angels and some pretty interesting guides - and you get Cindy Shelton. Her ability to get right to the essence of you and your problems is awesome. She's one of a kind!" * www.cynthialeeshelton.com/ *

"I Am that Feeling of a subtle Presence inside of you that is comforting, that is calm, that observes and does not judge. I Am that gentle nudging in your mind and heart telling you to do this or that good deed, to overlook a shortcoming, to respond in a friendly manner in your day-top-day life. There is no difference between Me and your highest thought of Yourself. Any kind, loving or wise words that have ever been spoken, thoughts that have ever been thought, or feelings that have ever been felt - by anyone, anytime, have been Me. I am never away from you. I always whisper a new perspective on your problem, I breathe a calming breath into your circumstances of chaos.

To notice Me more, simply state your intention clearly and keep your eyes and ears open. Keep your heart open - it is there you will always find Me. When you do notice Me, then give thanks, smile and affirm your intention to notice more and more.

Relax. I will never say anything critical, hurtful or anything less than altogether loving. Thus you will know Me from all the other voices in the World. Thus you will know your own, truest Voice. Bless you. I am waiting to talk to you now!"

Occasionally I receive negative feedback from a reader and I appreciate their taking the time to write. Although I read and respond to their emails, my response reflects my belief that every teacher has an audience and they may not be part of mine. I must admit that receiving criticism was a little shocking early in my writing career, but of the millions who read my newsletters and messages each week, there are bound to be a few people who do not like something and who will voice their displeasure.

That said, the negative comments about the recent "My Way or the Highway" message I received from a reader this week were a little surprising, especially since hers was the only critical comment. But she did make some interesting points about negativity, seeing people as divine, looking for the best in people, all of which we should do. However, I have learned, as have many of you, that no matter how much I want to connect with the divine in everyone, I have to deal with the human and I ignore that aspect of them at my peril.

The writer criticized me for being too negative and insensitive to others' feelings and not giving everyone the benefit of seeing them in their divinity. I disagreed with her because I do that with everyone, but I also know that I also have to pay attention to the reality of what they are doing and saying, no matter how much I want to hear and see something else.

When we see people in their highest light we give them the gift of unconditional love and acceptance and that is a wonderful gift. But whether they take the gift and use it to change who they are or how they behave is another thing. And we have to be realistic. When someone slaps you in the face you can turn the other cheek or you can walk away. I spent years of my life turning the other cheek until I discovered that it was easier and safer to love some people at a distance. And when I learned to love and respect myself enough to know that it didn't matter how nice, loving and accommodating I was with someone, if they could not receive that gift and express the divine side of themselves with love, support and consideration, there was the potential for me to endure a lot of heartache.

I have been blessed with some wonderful relationships, friends and connections in my life. I have also been blessed with some cruel, mean, vindictive people who were hell bent on creating drama, chaos and pain until I learned to connect with their divinity up close but maintain my distance from the human. While they were all equally divine, their human expression was very different. Yes, I did attract these teachers and continued to do that until I learned to see them as they were, not as I wish they could be, which has been one of my biggest lessons.

And I think that is particularly difficult for those who can energetically read people and are aware of their different aspects. Sometimes we forget that while an energy is within someone, they do not always choose to use it. While everyone has the potential to be good, loving and kind, they do not always express that side of themselves and that is their choice. I have to honor that in them or I will experience the consequences.

As the writer who criticized the article wrote, "Life is really not all about struggles, getting through torturous shifts, and problems. Life can be bliss". And she is right, it can be bliss but we have bliss once we know how to get beyond the human side, which is about struggle, getting through torturous shifts and problems. Some people choose that for their lives and we have no power over their choice. One of our most challenging lessons is to accept others as they are and then make our own choices accordingly.

Everyone is divine, we all have the same source connection and we are all connected to each other. But each of us expresses the balance of human and divine in different ways. Seeing someone as divine and ignoring what their human aspect is doing is, to be honest, just silly. And those who insist that the world is full of sweetness and light and everything else can be ignored are not living in reality.

The world is a wonderful place and there is so much good in people. But there are those who will be a challenge and we have to decide how much pain and drama we will allow in our lives and go from there. Give everyone the gift of knowing that they are divine but remember to pay attention to what the human is doing. As my friend Rhonda Smith of the Awakening Center says, 'tell the truth and learn to duck.'

In these interesting and transformational times, we can be overwhelmed by what is happening in our lives but there are always other solutions. Here are a few things to help you get through the difficult moments in your life:

Stay calm, focused, detached and aware and remember your thoughts are creating every moment of your life. Think the best ones.

As you ponder this and the other things that are happening at this time remember to:

Accept all gifts of understanding with gratitude and use them to apply forgiveness, release and healing to every situation.

Above all, be grateful for this opportunity to be part of humanity's amazing shift in consciousness as we all ascend into the miracle vibration.

Many blessings in these miraculous and amazing times,

You are all great manifestors. None of you are failures. Sometimes you feel, “Well, there must be something wrong with me, because it is not happening as I would like it to happen. But truly you already have that which you seek. Truly, what you seek is to know who you are. Truly, what you seek is to be in that space that knows itself to be divine, holy, perfect, loved from before time began. And when you grasp that, everything else falls into place.

I am a God Who loves, yet I am not a coddler. I am not like a parent who spoils you. I love you regardless of anything, yet that doesn’t mean that whatever you do or say is A-OK. I do not say that anything goes. I love, and I am aware. I am both. I do not support your unkindness to another. Unkindness is your unthinkingness. So caught up in yourself, you may undo another’s heart. I ask more of you, and you will give it.

You have responsibility to take. You have responsibility for your actions. It’s true that it all washes out in the end, and none of it is permanent, yet a crime of the heart is not excusable. You cannot always put yourself first. You are to be a blessing to the world. As a blessing, you cannot always put yourself first. The biggest piece of cake cannot always be yours. What makes you think you need it to be?

Make the world nice. Open the world. Do not close the hatch down on another. Let the sun in. For even one moment, make the world worthy for someone else. You may have been unthinking, yet you are not incapable. Hold doors open for others. Certainly do not excuse unkindness in yourself. If you are to represent Me on Earth, then start representing Me.

The world needs your understanding. People in the world need your understanding. They need your consideration, and you must give it. How can you, who houses such great light, not give it? Must impatience and grievance come before courtesy?

The Golden Rule is not just a group of words. It is the secret of life. Do not disregard any other sentient being on Earth. No matter the appearance of others, their actions, their annoyance to you, you must rise above. This does not mean they are unaccountable for their ways of living any more than you are unaccountable. I will stay your hand, and I will stay theirs. This is not judging. A God can say yes, and a God can say no. I do not make less of someone by prodding them onto another road. I make more of them.

You are in My Kingdom, and you will serve the world as a gracious guest. Everyone else here is My guest, and you are to treat all My guests as you would like to be treated. You are My host or hostess on Earth. You are in My employ, shall We say. My standards are high, and you are capable of living up to them. Because you work for Me doesn’t give you any right to neglect any other. You must not kill any heart. You must not squash it. You must not put your personal heart above any other.

You may go to a lot of trouble to dress well and put on make-up. Put as much time and trouble into mounting a great steed of life and honoring those you meet. They are learning just as you are learning. A little consideration, a little gentleness goes far. This is not folly. This is wisdom. It is for you to radiate higher, and when life makes you frantic – you have an opportunity to radiate higher.

It is not no holds barred on Earth. Set high standards for yourself. Take care of your deportment. Be worthy of My Name. Distribute My heart and not your disturbance. Behave, beloved children, behave.
