If you want to know why low percentages of women lead corporations and populate STEM fields, look no further than the words coming out of our mouths:

A fascinating new study from Carnegie Mellon looks at the male-career bias in 25 languages across 39 countries, and finds that languages that heavily associate men with careers and women with family also have speakers who live out those biases.

“If you speak a language that is really biased, then you are more likely to have a gender stereotype,” says the study’s lead author, cognitive scientist Molly Lewis, a special faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University.

Here are the languages, listed from most male-career biased to least:

Danish
German
Norwegian
Dutch
Romanian
English

Githa Ben-David & Lars Muhl: Singing Cancer Away with Love

Bente Hornbaek who sang her cancer away

From Sally in Illinois: I wanted to share a video link with you. Please share it if you feel guided to do so.

It has had a profound impact on me and I’m thinking others may benefit as well….

I’ve always been interested in healing and using sound as a tool for healing.

In a recent Galactic Heart newsletter was an article and video link with the following heading :

She Sings Her Cancer Away
Source: Lars Muhl & Githa Ben-David

Bente Hornbaek explains how she reached out to God through a daily routine of singing “The Note from Heaven” and “Hung Song” and how this practice strengthened her immune system and helped her recover from being a terminal leukemia patient, given up by the conventional system. In 4-6 months she was cured with cancer falling from 50% to under 2%.

Dignity of Earth and Sky

Much gratitude to Sally in Illinois — so amazing!!

Here are Sally’s observations:

When I saw it my first thought was “Nova Earth, I knew you were here, I’ve been feeling you and catching glimpses and now you are really showing yourself big time, and WOW just look at you!”

It is so very inspirational…

I’ve been to Mount Rushmore, SD and that was amazing to see the faces carved in rock. This statue is so much more significant, as I feel it is really ‘passing to baton’ to the Divine Feminine from the old worn out Patriarchal.

Enjoy!

She casts a peaceful gaze across the waters of the Missouri River. During the day, the South Dakota wind brushes the diamonds in her star quilt, causing blue shades to twinkle in the sunlight. At night, she stands illuminated and strong. She is Dignity.

The Dignity sculpture is a stunning combination of art and history. Located on a bluff between exits 263 and 265 on Interstate 90 near Chamberlain, the stainless steel, 50-foot-tall statue was specifically designed by sculptor Dale Lamphere to honor the cultures of the Lakota and Dakota people.

That’s why he used three Native American models ages 14, 29 and 55 to perfect the face of Dignity.

“Dignity represents the courage, perseverance and wisdom of the Lakota and Dakota culture in South Dakota,” Lamphere said. “My hope is that the sculpture might serve as a symbol of respect and promise for the future.”

Representing the rich Native American culture of South Dakota, the 50-foot Native woman gracefully wears a dress patterned after a two-hide Native dress of the 1850s. She holds outstretched a quilt featuring 128 stainless steel blue diamond shapes designed to flutter in the wind.

During the day, her star quilt – a representation of respect, honor and admiration in Native American culture – glitters in the sun with color-changing pieces that move with the wind.

At night, LED lights cause the diamond shapes to glow in the night sky, casting a peaceful presence easily visible from the Interstate.

Meghan Markle is a Force!

Meghan Markle is Challenging Young Women to Reshape the Future

By Leah Rodriguez, Global Citizen, July 15, 2020

https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/meghan-markle-girl-up-summit-equality-speech/

The Duchess of Sussex delivered a speech as part of the Girls Up Leadership Summit.

Supporting women and girls is still top of mind for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

Markle delivered a hopeful speech empowering young girls to continue challenging the status quo to reshape the future as part of the virtual Girl Up’s Leadership Summit on Tuesday.

Hosted by the United Nations’ Girl Up initiative, this year’s summit followed the theme “We Need to Talk: Connecting the Global Movement for Gender Equality.” Markle joined a roster of influential guests, including Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton, Nadia Murad, Sheryl Sandberg, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Abby Wambach, and more.

In 1995 in Beijing, global leaders developed the world’s most visionary agenda to empower girls and women.
Major steps have been taken globally to achieve a world where She Is Equal, but gender inequality still persists.
Share Global Citizen’s petition telling leaders to deliver on the promise of gender equality they made 25 years ago.

Markle started her address by borrowing advice from the commencement speech she delivered to the 2020 class of her high school alma mater in Los Angeles. She urged graduates to apply the skills they learned in schools to rebuild the world.

“I want to share something with you: It’s that those in the halls and corridors and places of power, from lawmakers to world leaders to executives, all of those people, they depend on you more than you will ever depend on them,” Markle said.

“This is a humanity that desperately needs you to push it, to push us forcefully in a more inclusive, more just, and more empathetic direction and to not only frame the debate but to be in charge of the debate,” she continued.

Markle acknowledged that Girl Up members are already doing the work but asked them to keep pushing further.

“Women have always historically gotten a lot of, ‘That’s not how it’s done,’ ‘Yeah, that’s a good idea but we’re going to do this instead,’” Markle said. “But when do we hear that as women? We hear that in the moments that we challenge the norms. So if that’s the case, I say to you, keep challenging. Keep pushing. Make them a little uncomfortable because it’s only in that discomfort that we actually create the conditions to reimagine our standards, our policies, and our leadership — to move toward real representation and meaningful influence over the structures of decision-making and power.”

Creating a more equitable society will require everyone’s participation, Markle stressed.

“It will take girls and women; it will take men and boys; it will take those that are Black and those that are white collectively tackling the inequities and structural problems that we know exist,” she said.

“I believe we are on the precipice of transformation.”

Being Free by Janice Szostak

Briar Patch, Downtown Eastside

I can remember the thing that I had
From wisdom I know without it I’m sad!
Does the word Freedom mean something to You,
or is it JUST that you pay your dues?
As for me; I think it’d be FUN, to Live with The LAND
Just as ONE!
Not to destroy the BEAUTY around,
To Live in PEACE, that’s with The GROUND!
To Live in PEACE…to grow with The Trees…to
Sing with The Birds & Breathe with The Leaves
And through Your Life You’ll learn to begin,
To FLY Your SPIRIT, FREE with THE WIND!

The Lotus as a Metaphor for Our Journey

The lotus, a symbol of rebirth, compassion and enlightenment, can be seen as a metaphor for our human journey. Its roots, found in the dirtiest water, produce a gorgeous flower.

As we observe the chaos without, and continue to do our “clean up” within of the old belief systems, the bigotry, hatred, anxiety and control, and witness our sorrow, shame, anger and fear diminish, we begin to “bloom” feeling greater alignment with the higher realms

Anchored in that knowing of our Divinity, we like the lotus, are learning to live in harmony with “the mud” in that place of observation, the non-judgement of compassion and hope.

Sanat Kumara stated in the Universal Law of Balance, through Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love:

“Everything that is of truth,
not ego and not lack,
is ready for us.”

With human life being a series of mirrors, of our strengths and perceived shortcomings, we have the choice daily to let go the old and “bloom” in Divine Alignment without anxiety, the old belief in separation.

Archangel Raphael told us in March 2012, again through Linda Dillon, “There is no difference between healing and creation” (1) so with that in mind, here are some questions I’ve found helpful to ask myself:

“Is what’s happening on planet a reflection of my within?”

“Are the ‘control scenarios’ we are witnessing without a reflection in any way of how I treat myself within?”

Knowing everything is in Divine Order, that the Mother’s Plan is well underway and what we’re witnessing is part of the process, I’m looking to the lotus for inspiration.

Contemplating my “mud” I create greater compassion detaching from the old and attaching to the highest vision of Love; time to “bloom” in harmony and balance.

The Longer Wave Pattern Creates Rejuvenation, Gentleness on Gaia

Surrendering to Love, with forgiveness, compassion and gratitude for the past, we are reassuring our ego — we are relaxing — and the vibrations in our fields expand.

According to Ashira (1) Commander of the United Forces of the Outer Galaxies, UFOG when we think of our time-line in terms of a ruler, we, on Earth, have tended to give ourselves about three inches out of a foot, and it’s very static.

It is high/low, high/low, high/low, with the old ways of being of anger, fear, sorrow, shame and so on, creating a life typically less than 100 years.

In the higher realms the beings take the whole ruler, the whole twelve inches and it is long, long, waves creating a state of ecstasy, bliss, harmony, balance, and a much longer lifespan. . .

The vibrations and frequencies, the waves of the Mother’s Tsunami of Love, Tsunami of One, and Galactic Porlana C is helping the vibrations in our fields expand into the longer wave pattern of clarity, purity, grace, wonder and awe. . . of kindness to self.

Our expansion is Infinite gentleness for self/others.

The Universal Law of Instantaneous Transmission and Transformation

THE SCALES OF JUSTICE: OF WORTH AND OF THE UNIVERSE, IN BALANCE

The Universal Law of Instantaneous Transmission and Transformation is our activation, by conscious choice, of what we choose to experience and what we choose to bring forth, the transformation of our sacred self.

We are turning on, in conjunction with the Mother, the perfection of our soul design, the expression of greater Love.

Sanat Kumara, the Keeper of Universal Law, through Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love, explains that our transformation has a “ripple effect” for the entire planet and far beyond.

Heavenly Blessings ~ The Universal Law of Instantaneous Transmission and Transformation with Sanat Kumara

Meditation: 15:38 – 33:18

Each of us, regardless of how aware we are, have desires with regards to the expansion of our sacred self.

There is an entire list from perfect health to balance in all realms — mental, emotional, spiritual, physical — all of these are at our fingertips.

Why I’m Making, Selling and Donating Face Masks

Space Mask

My principal guide in January 2012 said to me in a reading, with Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love:

“Viruses are simply ideas that get transmitted.”

At the time I had no idea what she was talking about. Now it makes sense.

Recently I’ve had two emails telling me to stop making face masks. There’s some controversy around them, and “good or bad” if someone would like to wear a mask, I feel it’s a personal choice.

Here are more thoughts:

the pandemic lock-down seems to be part of the Divine Plan, a time to globally reset our selves, from self to family (the Mother has often called Her Plan, the Family Plan) to community, to globally, and the face mask has emerged in all of this
the face mask could be a metaphor to quiet our selves, be more contemplative, to listen deeply to self and others, to contemplate sacred purpose: “Why Am I here at this time?”
when we make anything, everything can be Divinely Infused with Love, peace, joy, the energy of the higher realms, and I know that the masks I make are infused

Another impression I have, connected to the virus, is it is helping us flush up, look directly at the false grids of limitation, anxiety, control, guilt, bigotry, hatred, all judgement, and our anger, fear, sorrow and shame, to do the deeper processing, that it’s not about keeping the issues, pain, suffering, hurt alive; Now it truly is about elimination.

Our planet’s vibration is expanding and the frequency is increasing and in that it is very difficult to hold onto any old energy. We are here to let go — to forgive, to be in gratitude, and more and more compassionate with each other — to be strong and kind, to understand the strength of gentleness, within and without.

As I make and sell face masks, A Door To Everything Society is donating them to ones in need. So far we have given to a women’s housing project in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and to our North Shore Food Bank, the Harvest Project, with more getting made to be given away. . .

Red Hearts Face Mask

I feel the face mask could be an expression of going within
doing our inner work, becoming the calm, gentleness, and Love,
eliminating the old, and transmitting the idea of Divine Alignment.

The Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment

THE SCALES OF JUSTICE: OF WORTH AND OF THE UNIVERSE, IN BALANCE

The Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment asks us to observe, by consciously breathing into and blessing everything — including sorrow, shame, and fear with feeling — attaching to the truth, the expression of our heart’s desire, and the highest vision for All.

When we can do that, there is natural detachment from old ways of being.

Attaching to Divine Ways of Being, creation, and detaching, not only from everything not of love, but also from how our creations are delivered to us, is a way to balance, and the purpose of Universal Law.

The Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment, explained to us by the Buddha through Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love, emphasizes the importance of detachment — being the observer and blessing all — in the constant flow of our hearts.

Heavenly Blessings ~ The Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment with the Buddha

Meditation: 11:51 – 31:38

As we bless each situation, each person, not simply with compassion, but with the Love of our hearts, we do not attach to either their vision or ours, an important understanding for us as we tend to get caught in the drama of our own lives, and others, as well.

Fully anchored as the observer, we are in detachment, simply watching.
