What Would You Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail?

"What would I do if I knew I could not fail? The answer is several folds. One, I would live a life full of adventure. I would be climbing mountains, and challenging myself in nature through adventure sports and activities. But that can't be it. There is something even more to my life than just that. I really want to be a person who will be remembered for making positive, memorable differences in the lives of others. For one, I want to be a travel nurse. I want to travel nation-wide and internationally and see where that takes me. Then the idea of being a flight nurse has always intrigued me since the inception of that idea was implanted in my mind during my Junior year of nursing school. In addition, I want to learn all about spirituality, as I believe it is the essence of all life and matter in the universe. I want to learn and teach others about how science and spirituality are merging together. I want to learn about the powers that our ancient, indigenous world cultures have always said. I want to learn the different powerful healing techniques, abilities, and modalities to help better the lives of others. I want to teach others these healing modalities, and the different, powerful possibilities that can exist with embracing the true nature of spirituality. I want to be a role model for others of practicing compassion, unconditional love, and show others how great we can all be. 

I want to explore in my mind and the world out there. I want to explore possibilities that expand our understanding of who we are, who we can be, what we can do, and where we have come from. I want to understand the nature of reality. I want to be enlightened and know it all. I want to feel the awe and amazement that comes with realizing how amazing all of life and reality is. I want to be fascinated, amazed and awe-inspired. I want to explore, play, grow, transform, love, and be loved. 

That's what I really want to do with my life. I think that would be a life well-lived for me. However that description of the dream for me is huge. It's like asking oneself, if I want to climb Mount Everest within the next year, how would I do it? I guess the answer is to take the dream one step at a time."

"What's The Most Important Thing In Your Life?" Response

I've been thinking about the question of "what's most important thing to you in your life?". This question is percolating in my consciousness after watching a documentary on Navy Seals, and trying to understand to the best of my assumptions of why the job description of a special forces operator is so enticing to them while the job requires impossible to fathom effort, persistence, and desire to even achieve.

To answer the question, I think there is no one right answer. Often times we fall into the trap of wanting the perfect answer that would fit for all situations and for everyone. I do think it is highly important to understand our values and to listen to our emotions as an internal compass to guide us. For some people, at some areas of their life, they will value freedom, spontaneity, independence over stability and routine. And when you know what you value, in combination with knowing what you desire, your path regarding life, meaning, purpose, becomes pretty clear. When people want to know regarding the question of life purpose, I think we are again falling into the trap of wanting the perfect answer. We think, "No, there has to be one perfect mission as to why I am here on earth!" Well, for some, maybe. For others, there will be more than one, and ranging to multiple. For a person like me who is spiritual, and believes in life plans, karma, I believe that we all incarnate with intentions when coming here and we have free will to make decisions along the way, mixed with certain life events we agreed upon before incarnating to happen, occur, and manifest, no matter if we see it as good or bad from our limited perspective. Some people will have a clear mission/purpose that they will find themselves strongly influenced into, while others will have several. Some people are here to play, while others are here to work, and others are here to work and play. How can we know what we are each here to do? I think Heather Shea's Becoming Your Higher Self is a great step towards listening to our inner voice/ higher self to guide us properly. We have free will to make decisions and run the maze of life, trying to find our happiness, but why not be guided to the path that will make us find our bliss and happiness in the most direct and fastest way possible?

I think knowing our values, and listening to our internal compass are the two most important things towards finding a great path, one that we intended on being on, and that will bring us forms of happiness in our lives, regardless if that feeling of happiness comes from meaning, purpose, personal growth, relationships, contribution,..

It is important to keep in check certain types of desires, when I say, listen to our internal compasses (emotions). Emotions like ecstasy from sex, power, and desires that are more likely to result in some form of negative consequence if not controlled properly, do have there values in them. Often times these types of desires are great motivators short term, whereas, for example, wanting to be in good health, is something we all want, but does not help too much in terms of motivation in the short term perspective. So these desires that need to be properly controlled do have there time, place, worth, and value, but do need to be kept in check. Desires and human needs such as personal growth, contribution, and having strong relationships are desires and needs that are less likely to result in negative consequences and are more of what is called/labeled as "spiritual emotions", for good reason.

At the end of the day, it pays to know your values, and to listen to your emotions and know that they serve to guide you, whether you believe in a higher power, or not.

A Fire in My Heart

I haven't posted anything on here for a while, even though life has not been without its challenges. Since around February or so of this year, I've been slowly adjusting to the idea of going off on my own, and having my own life. Between me and my brother I mean. I wish the best for him, AND I need to start having my own life. A life where I am not concerned about what he is doing. I need a life where I am so enveloped in what I am doing and what is going on around me, that I naturally focus on what's going on around me. I need that. I guess this year, so far, for me has been about leaving behind the world of schooling, and into the work force and real world. It has been challenging, feeling like people are going their own ways. Partly wishing the people around me would stay the same, and only I change, for the better. But life doesn't work that way. It just doesn't. Things are going on around me that I can't control. And I have to leave them in God's hands. People moving away. Relationships changing. Being on my own for lots of the time. Trying to get into a hobby that isn't easy to learn: rock climbing, while knowing and praying that my near future of what I have dreamed and day dreamed about in some capacity or another, comes true. My dream of traveling to far flung places around the world, to help people in a meaningful way, and to leave my imprint on them, seems like a strong day dream right now. In the right moments, when I day dream/dream about it, right before I nod off into a slumber, if feels like I'm living it, and it's close, but then after basking in the satisfaction it would provide for my soul, I realize that it was just in my mind and in my heart. Just burning in my heart, waiting to manifest into a reality. When I day dream about it, it's a feeling that feels so right. It's a feeling that not only nourishes my soul, but completes the essence of who I am. In the midst of my dream, it feels so RIGHT. It feels so invigorating. It feels so SATISFYING without the feeling of lack or scarcity. It feeds my desires of adventure, travel, spontaneity, purpose, meaning, ego, and demonstrates my character and values. It's once in a lifetime. It's like nothing I could ever imagine. I'm still waiting for it. Burning for it. And until that day...I can't wait.

What I Hope the Rest of My 20's and Early 30's Will be Like

It hit me that I'm going to be 23 soon. In the drudgery of a life I'm not terribly enjoying right now, I'm dreaming of a life so different.

I want to travel to far flung, exotic places of the world filled with beauty for my own exploration and curiosity.

I want to travel to beautiful areas of the world to challenge myself and improve on a craft while immersing myself in the wonder around me.

I want to travel to places to learn about esoteric knowledge that most other people don't know about, but have been pondering about since the dawn of humanity.

I want to travel to places that need help, so I can make a positive difference in their lives.

That's why I want to travel, that's why I want adventure. Adventure for me cannot all be about myself. There has to be a greater goal that is for the good of our world. A trip here and there to enjoy and challenge myself, of course. But a journey is not a true adventure to me unless there is a greater good I'm striving for.

Science and the Anecdotal Evidence of a Prediction of Coming Disasters and Chaotic Times

The emerging story from ancient sites around the world such as Gobekli Tepe; the Great Sphinx of Giza; Caral, Peru; and the Gulf of Khambhat, India, is that our progression as human civilizations was not linear from a primitive society directly to the civilization we have today. In fact all these ancient sites around the world have evidence suggesting that its inhabitants were highly advanced, more advanced than we are today in certain respects, but are all much older than the traditionally excepted timeline of the advent of human civilizations.

It is traditionally accepted that the oldest ancient civilization started about 5,500 years ago in Ancient Mesopotamia, now modern day Iraq, by the Sumerians. Using reliable and accurate methodologies, Gobekli Tepe is estimated to be between 11,000 - 13,000 years old. To put it into perspective, how old Ancient Sumer is to us is how old Gobekli Tepe is to Ancient Sumer!

When we look and study into the evidence of these much more archaic civilizations that existed, it's reasonable to believe that the traditional timeline that many historians and archaeologists accept, is quite incomplete.

What happened to many of these civilizations is unclear. Many civilizations seemed to just vanish suddenly with no trace of evidence pointing to one or more culprits for their disappearances. Others seemed to be purposefully covered up. Gobekli Tepe is a site of unique intrigue in addition because it appears that it was intentionally covered up around 8,000 B.C.E., or about 10,000 years ago. When it comes to anceint civilizations seemingly vanishing, the Maya, is one that comes to mind. And when it comes to the mystery of why civilizations come and go, the Mayan Calender may offer some significant clues.

The Mayan Calender tracks vast cycles of time and the celestial events that occur in them. And from the Maya to the America's, to the indigenous cultures of Ancient India, we learn that ancient civilizations looked to the stars, constellations, and the heavens for knowledge of what would occur. As Gregg Braden put it in his book, Fractal Time, 

"The position of the earth within our galaxy creates powerful changes that signal the end of one world age and the beginning of the next. The knowledge of these cyclic changes is known as the doctrine of World Ages" (47).

 Every 5,125 years, there are changes in Earth's position in space that create a celestial alignment which mark the end of one cycle/world age and the beginning of the next cycle/world age. This is also known as Galactic Alignment. Here is a good website to try and understand it. Ancient cultures have termed this time period between alignments, world ages, due to the vast and significant changes that come with the heralding of a new world age. Changes in climate change, sea level, civilizations, and life have accompanied the past ushering of world ages that when world ages arrive, the existing world is said to end. To get an easy understanding of the world changes that occur with new world ages, we can recount the story of the four worlds of the past of the Hopi people in the North American Southwest. It describes the three previous worlds that existed before the fourth world we live in today. In all three worlds, the ushering of a new world age, about 5,000 years in between each, all ended in disasters and cataclysms. The first met its end with earthquakes and the sinking of continents. The second with the earth frozen over in ice, and in the third, with the earth and life being struck by a great deluge. Now it's just a story right? Perhaps it is just a story for those who prefer to think of it as a metaphor rather than history. Although it is described in nonscientific terms, the description of the cataclysmic events that ended each era is eerily similar to the geological records of the earth. To demonstrate, scientists know from data from the ocean sediments and polar ice cores that Earth has gone through a period of earthquakes and volcanic activity around 20,000 years ago. We know there was an ice age about 17,000-12,000 years ago, and we know that for the next 4,000 years approximately, there was a period of melting of glaciers and ice with tremendous rains, and this period is often associated with the time of the biblical flood.

And according to the Hopi, our world, the fourth world, ended in December of 2012, and with some controversy, 2017 (*3) , and that we will very soon/are already in the zone of the the fifth world. And as the same cycles of time and nature that brought upon the changes in all the past world ages, are now heralding the present world to and end, and the next in the process as we speak. What makes the Hopi's prophecy eerie is the accuracy of the story. The Hopi knew of the cycles before our modern culture can even understand them scientifically. Then the question is, is their understanding of past world ages and cycles of time have been precise, what of the prediction for the future as we enter the fifth world age?

Then this explains is somewhat scientific terms and anecdotal evidence, of Erin Pavlina's prediction my spirit guides wanted to impart to me back in September of 2014.

This here was what my spirit guides wanted to pass on to me via Erin:

"Hi Michael,
Okay here we go….
First, your guides are saying you're actually on a really good path to become what you want to become.
Nursing and especially travel nursing are going to be fantastic for you.  Here's what they're showing me…
Take a job in whatever state or city you can find work, because you're not going to be there terribly long.  Get some experience, get in the door, do the work for a while.  You're going to see that you are excellent at it, and all the things you feared aren't going to happen.  You're going to gain some confidence and you're going to feel solid.
While you've got the steady and stable job, start figuring out how you can segue into travel nursing.  Research it, find companies, talk to other nurses who travel, etc.  Start to see how you can jump into travel nursing.  Your guides are showing me you potentially connected to a tv show or documentary crew and being one of the medical experts on the team that travels with the crew and provides emergency medical services, and that's why being an ER nurse is going to be critical.
They're also saying to keep yourself in really good shape physically.  Don't let that slide.  It's going to be a really big factor later.
they're also saying not to get too attached to anyone since for the next several years you're going to need to be mobile at a moment's notice.
So you're on the right path.  This is all going to turn into something you can't even fathom right now.
Get a job as an ER nurse that is stable and steady
Then get into travel nursing, potentially with a film crew but however you can get it done, get it done
You're going to be really happy and you're going to get some amazing opportunities.  Just hold those desires in your mind and keep day dreaming about them.  Don't let your fears get teh best of you.  You're going to do great."


It is coming, and I will be ready, to make the difference of a lifetime. I cannot deny that there is definitely a shift in consciousness. A realization going on in the world, behind the scenes of what the mainstream media knows or reports about. It is the realization and shift in consciousness of who we really are, our spiritual nature, and the merging of science and the spirituality taught by ancient teachers, gurus including Jesus, the Buddha, and other enlightened individuals here to make the difference in the world.

Collectively, we are in the process of leaving the Age of Pisces, and entering the Age of Aquarius. The transition will not necessarily be a fast one defined by one event. It will likely be a process. There are no clear indicators between the end of one era and the beginning of the next.

Perhaps this website, summarizes it well.

"More and more people are awakening each day as the veil that cover us, which is a part of this planetary school, can no longer hold and are lifted as the light from heaven shine down on us and awaken us from our slumber, making us remember the spiritual aspect of ourselves, that we are in fact a part of God. We are supreme beings with unlimited power and that we originally live the life of universal truth, which is love and compassion...
There are people who chuck this information aside, do not think out of the box, do not want to know about their spirituality and continue to be attached to materialism. They are those who are not ready to ascend. It is not seen as good or bad here, which normally will be the case in a dualism perspective, but that these souls simply require more experience in the physical world to mold and to learn before they are ready to ascend. 
In the perspective of Christianity, the ascension process is akin to the Second Coming of Christ. Where the return of the Messiah is not a return of a single entity, but in which humanity at long last is given the opportunity to easily embrace and experience the Christ Consciousness just like Jesus experienced.
The Christ Consciousness is not in strict reference to the religion of Christianity per se, it is also known to be referred to as the Cosmic Consciousness, the God Consciousness or the Higher Consciousness."
