Everyone is a teacher, Dear One.
Everyone around you has something to teach you.
Yes, everyone.
But here is the thing.
The value, the importance, the significance, the impact of the lessons that they have to share with you has practically nothing to do with how good of a teacher they are, and absolutely everything to do with how of good of a student you choose to be.
Propaganda, Dear One, has a very specific purpose, serves a very specific function. And it is not to deliver a message.
Its function is to sway or move large (or very small) groups of people; to shift their energy/opinions/beliefs and ultimately, their actions, in a very specific direction, by any means necessary.
Propaganda is about the movement, not the message.
The message is nothing more than a means to an end. Don’t focus on the words if you want to discover their true motivation for using them. The words are meaningless. They are nothing more than a tool.
Look instead, Dear one, at where they are leading you, at where they are trying to get you to go by engaging you in the conversation. And once you see, once you know, you will be in a much better position to decide if you really want to go there, or, if you would rather make a different choice.
Do this, Dear One, consciously become aware of the motives behind their words, and you will essentially be putting stakes in the ground, putting safeguards in place, that will make it virtually impossible for them to carry you away on their platform, without your full awareness and consent.

You are not meant to already have all of the answers, Dear One.
You are meant to discover them through the experience of living.
That is what you are here for.
So cut yourself a little slack today, okay?
Why would you choose to throw away an opportunity to be happy, Dear One?
Why would you not take advantage of joyful experiences when they are within your grasp?
You know that is exactly what you are doing when you choose those things that you feel obligated to do, that you feel you ought to do, that you think others want you to be doing, over those things, people, places and activities that you want to do, that you love to do, that bring you the most pleasure, contentment and joy.
Our advise to you today, Dear One: Choose happiness.
Whenever there is a choice to be made, whenever you are in a position where you have to decide between multiple options, which is always – choose happiness.
Always choose that which makes you feel alive, that which excites you, that which invigorates you, that which inspires you, that which holds the most possibility, promise and potential for you, over that which does not.
Always.
Decision made.
It only fades if you let it fade, Dear One – if you choose to let it go, day by day, choice by choice.
It only fades when you decide to allow something else to capture your attention, to distract you, to become more important.
You can choose to remember, or you can choose to forget.
But know, Dear One, that it is a choice and that it is yours to make.
The wait is over, Dear One, the moment that you decide it is, the moment that you want it to be, the moment that you choose.
If someone that you love, Dear One, is not living up to your expectations of them, instead of being disappointed, instead of trying to change them, instead of trying to fix them, instead of trying to force yourself to stop loving them in order to put an end to your unhappiness, why not simply change your expectation of them instead?
Don’t miss them, Dear One.
Close your eyes, open your heart and connect with them instead.
We would like you to practice kindness today, Dear One.
We would like for you to remember to be kind to yourself in response to all that you do and don’t do, and all that happens to you and those around you.
Without exception.
That is all.
If it’s not fun, pleasurable, serving to enhance, strengthen or deepen your understanding of your connection to source; if it is not rooted in love, if it does not generate loving creations, connections, or bonds, then, Dear One, you know….
…it’s just not worth it!
