You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.
-Nelson Mandela

"Energy can be manipulated and changed around through the process of thinking. Your experience in the world that you will be forming is completely contingent on your thoughts. When you learn to honor yourselves and to trust that your thoughts form your experience and that they do indeed count, that each and every one of you makes a difference when you begin to completely feel this and live this, then you will be stepping forward into your work. You will have great demonstrations of this, and you will begin to create, to form, and to magnify your feelings into experience."

— The Pleiadians

"When we live our life contrary to the inner guidance of our Soul, our actions often have a disharmonious effect upon ourselves, others and the Earth. This is why the evolution of individual human consciousness is intimately linked with the future of this planet. In light of this, the crisis of all physical illness, emotional imbalance and planetary upheaval has but one ultimate purpose: to provide an opportunity that will motivate us to realign our body, mind and emotions with the infinite love, wisdom and healing of our Soul. Therefore, whenever we gather the courage to do whatever it takes to end the war within, we contribute directly and immediately to our own healing and transformation as well as to the peace that our world cries out for."

— John-Michael
