Constructive Suggestions
Seth, a being of light channeled by Jane Roberts teaches us:
...you should tell yourself frequently, I will only react to constructive suggestions, for this gives you some protection against your own negative thoughts and those of others.

Possible Reality Where Whales Rule the Earth
We take so much of life on Earth for granted. We take it as a given that we are the dominant species on the planet and that we are the only ones who have learned to farm the oceans and the lands. We believe that we have the highest possible cognitive development of all animals and that our social structure and the relationships among each individuals and its social group are so unique to us humans.
But what if in an alternate reality, which exists parallel to our own, whales are the dominant inhabitants on Earth. This would be a probable reality where we humans never reached any significant levels of development.
The idea of such a possible world intrigued me greatly ever since I read the following in “The Unknown Reality: A Seth Book, vol. 1” by Jane Roberts:
“I told you … that you presently perceive only the surface of the moment; so you also perceive but one line of the species’ development. Yet even within your system, there are hints of the other probable realities that also coexist.
… In other probabilities, water-dwelling mammal predominate. They farm the land as you farm the water, and are only now learning how to operate upon the land for any amount of time, as you are only now learning how to manipulate below the water.
The physical universe serves then as a threshold for probabilities, and all possible species find their greatest fulfillment within that system, each of them neurologically tuned into their own reality and their own “time.”

The idea of such an alternate reality captivated my imagination greatly but seemed somewhat sci-fi and removed from my world until I read The New York Times’ article Watching Whales Watch Us. This is an amazing article which describes whales as a species that we are just now beginning to study and understand. The article begins with sad tales of stranded whales and recounts of how high-tech sonar tracking devices used in military-training exercises drive whales to extinction. However, the real value it offers readers is a glimpse into how incredible whales are. It says:
"Scientists have now documented behaviors like tool use and cooperative hunting strategies among whales. Orcas, or killer whales, have been found to mourn their own dead. Just three years ago, researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York discovered, in the brains of a number of whale species, highly specialized neurons that are linked to, among other things, the use of language and were once thought to be the exclusive property of humans and a few other primates. Indeed, marine biologists are now revealing not only the dizzying variety of vocalizations among a number of whale species but also complex societal structures and cultures.
Whales, we now know, teach and learn. They scheme. They cooperate, and they grieve. They recognize themselves and their friends. They know and fight back against their enemies. And perhaps most stunningly, given all of our transgressions against them, they may even, in certain circumstances, have learned to trust us again."
I love the stories the article tells us about how smart, curious, social and playful with us humans are the gray whales of Baja. We learn how well organized is the social structure of the sperm whales and how humpback whales make use of communal tools to hunt for fish. This is really a great article and I hope you read it for you will develop a new appreciation for cetaceans and you too may begin to wonder about a possible Earth where whales rule. What could be a better conclusion than the following quote from the article:
“Somehow the more we learn about whales, the more we’re coming to appreciate the sublimely discomfiting reality that a kind of parallel “us” has long been out there roaming the oceans' depths, succumbing to our assaults.”

How We Create the Weather
Isn’t the weather today really lovely? But also, don’t you find it strange how it drastically jumped from low 40s on Thursday to 70s on Friday. And it will be as high as 88°F on Sunday!
I cannot help but notice how the weather changes resembles the way we feel about the economy.
You have heard people say that it has been a very, very long and hard winter. We feel the same way about the economy. We say how difficult things have been and how we are very tired of being worried, of being gloomy and being scared. We are all ready for a warmer weather for a sense of rejuvenation and of being carefree. On days when there is good news on Wall Street we feel upbeat and hopeful. However, on days we hear that things have not changed and may be getting even worse we feel even more frightened inside. The lack of centeredness and this great sense of insecurity fiercely swing us from one mood to another in seconds. The almost violent in intensity emotions we experience generate an amazingly powerful energy. The energy created by the strong emotions of fear and hope experienced by millions of people who live in New York and the greater New York area affect our environment and create our weather.
Elias, a spiritual teacher channeled by Mary Ennis, explains how we, as part of nature, create the weather: “Through your emotions, you are influencing of your planetary conditions; your weather, your tides, your elements of natural occurrences upon your planet. Through your thought process, you hold the clarity of the focus. Your animals, your flowers, your clouds, your oceans, appear as they appear, for you are part of them. You hold the clarity. You hold the vision. What you see, what you visualize, is what is created. Therefore, you are a very intricate part of nature.”
It is really important for us to realize that we create our personal world and the environment around us. That realization removes the weak excuse that we are victims of circumstances we have no control over (while in fact we really do).
Take in as much sun and a sense of peace, hope and renewal as you can in the next few days. And allow the beautiful feeling of warmth on your skin to spread to your heart. Allow the feeling of wellbeing to take a hold in you so that you can reconnect with the wisdom of your soul. Deep inside you exists the knowledge that you are eternal and that you will always be nurtured and that you will always be well taken care of. Allow this knowing to become rooted in your vision too. Build a bridge between the way you think about the world every day and the unshakable belief that you will be ok. This is a very important bridge to have because, as soon as you feel challenged by the world outside or the media and its easy sell to people who are frightened, you can go back inside and find your own center. The real knowledge of security we have in us, which emanates from the eternal feeling of love and well-being can never be replaced by any material possessions on the outside.
The longer you allow for the faith that you will be ok financially to dwell in you, the better you will feel about your life, your financial prospects and the economy. I promise you that soon enough the economy will improve and one day before we know it the economy will be booming again because nothing can stop the creative power of our emotions!
If you want to learn more about how we create our environment and nature you can read the following excerpt from another spiritual teacher, Seth, who was channeled by Jane Roberts. In “The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events” Seth says:
“The natural contours of your psyche are quite aware of the inner sweep and flow of your life, and its relationship with every other crea¬ture alive. Intuitively, each person is born with the knowledge that he or she is not only worthwhile, but fits into the context of the universe in the most precise and beautiful of fashions. The most elegant timing is involved in each individual's birth and death. The exquisite play of your own inner nature in general — and that identification leads you into the deeper knowledge of your own part in nature's source.
…The myths upon which you base your lives so program your existence that often you verbally deny what you inwardly know. When people are hurt in a natural disaster, for example, they will often profess to have no idea at all for such involvement. They will ignore or deny the inner feelings that alone would give the event any meaning in their lives. The reasons for such involvement would be endless, or course — all valid, yet in each and every case, man and nature in those terms would meet in an encounter that had mean¬ing, from the largest global effects to the smallest, most private aspects of the individuals involved. You have made certain divisions because of your myths, of course, that make this kind of explanation extremely important and difficult. You think of rain or earthquakes as natural events, for example, while you do not consider thoughts or emotions as natural events in the same terms. Therefore it is diffi¬cult for you to see how there can be any valid interactions between, say, emotional states and physical ones.
You might say: "Of course, I realize that the weather affects my mood," yet it will occur to very few of you that your moods have an effect upon the weather. You have so concentrated upon the catego¬rization, delineation, and exploration of the objective world that it surely seems to be "the only real one." It seems to exert force or pres¬sure against you, or to impinge upon you, or at least almost to happen by itself, so that you sometimes feel powerless against it. Your myths have given great energy to the outsideness of things.”
