Kyle - we must act, not dream longer. Be a paragon - a part of the real change - and this can only begin if we open our hearts and learn again what
love and respect means. Not the words, but the feelings the are "loaded" with.
Connecting with your higher self is easy. Always act on your excitement/joy/passion to the fullest of your ability. Excitement is your higher selfs
way of telling you that's what it wants to do. Ideally you should make decisions instantaneously, act on your excitement to the fullest of your
ability and when you are finished with that, think what the most exciting thing is you can do after that, and after that ad infinitum. Obviously in
our reality unless we are already rich (and even then we need to overcome our belief systems) it is hard for us to do. But if you try and act on your
passion as much as posible you will be taking a step in the right direction. And the next step is all we need to see.
It is up to us, we have to take our power back, I agree, if we don't wake up we are likely to attract nightmarish scenarios into our realities, but
we don't have to, it's up to us now.
