Hello everyone. Today I’d like to share something that happened last week. The reason for sharing is because when I told my partner the story, a few days after it happened, his eyes teared up and he said “That’s so beautiful! Thank you for telling me!” So, here goes. I was heading into a grocery store that I’ve gone to many times. It is an Aldi, and it’s right in town. It was sunny and windy that day. As I approached the store, I noticed a man sitting on the sidewalk and leaning against the wall of the building, just in front of the carts. You have to put a quarter in the cart in order to get one, so everyone stops there first. I looked down at him and said “Are you okay?” I’m not sure why I said that, I don’t usually blurt things out to people. I had never encountered anyone looking for money outside that store, and his presence surprised me. He looked up at me, and with piercing blue eyes spent the next ten minutes or so explaining his recent hard luck, as well as the sudden loss of his son Jesse. He was in tears at several points, as was I. While we talked, several people reached in and put some cash in his hands. As I walked into the store, I told him I’d check on him after I shopped. I was planning on giving him the change from my purchases. Another man walked up to him, pulled out his wallet and said, rather loudly, “Down on your luck? I didn’t do well at the casino today, but I’ll share what I got.” When I came out of the store, he was talking to other shoppers. I reached down to hand him some money and he yelled “Your cart!” It had started rolling into the parking lot right towards a parked car. A young woman left her cart and ran to grab mine. I thanked her and then turned to give him the money. There were three other people gathered around him, and one of them was holding a box full of groceries. As she fumbled with her stuff, her receipt dropped and blew away. I ran to get it. As I handed it to her, she said “Thank you for giving him money, that was very cool.” When I returned with my now emptied shopping cart, there were still people smiling and chatting around him. He was smiling and saying “God bless you” to every one of them. I thanked him for saving my cart, and left. I thought about the whole scenario for a few days before I could talk about it. I wasn’t sure what it was I had been a part of, but I knew that it was something special. It almost felt sacred, and I wasn’t sure that talking about it wouldn’t ruin the feeling. It didn’t. The thing is, Aldi is a store that is not fancy, doesn’t carry commercially advertised products and is more affordable than the bigger stores. I’ve always shopped there. The people almost never look each other in the eyes. Lately, everyone has been looking sort of desperate. What happened that day may have been because of him or an alignment of the stars, I don’t know. But for a few moments that afternoon, I experienced a group of strangers who were informally joined together with no judgments or misgivings; just people being human. We helped each other, heard each other, and looked each other in the eyes. It was, I think, what Clif High refers to as a SOC (Self-Organizing collective). It felt wonderful. I left the store with so much more than groceries. I left with a full heart and renewed faith in humanity. We are pretty cool. Our man on the sidewalk may have been an angel, for what I witnessed was miraculous. I think we’re going to be just fine.

Hi everyone. It’s been a while. Let’s talk about what’s going on inside of us, cause right now it’s nuts. I’ll start.
For the past several weeks or even months I dream of dead people. These are loved ones, or at the very least, family members who have passed on. Often there is a message I’m looking at on my phone – with a name and photo. Other times it’s a written message. One night I spent the time looking for a new apartment with a dear friend who passed on 8 years ago. I’ll admit that one spooked me a bit. Clearly the veil is thinning, becoming transparent even. I’ve heard often from my best friend, my little sister. She’s been gone for nearly twenty years, which is hard to fathom. Another detail here is that that I rarely remember my dreams; until recently that is. Anyone else having similar dreams? I cry – a lot. Now tbh, I’m that person who wells up at emotional music and heart-touching films. Lately though, the tears seem to come unbidden. In the car, when I’m home, when I’m getting ready to go somewhere, when I’m working. I am an overflowing bucket of unending tears. The tears are sometimes sad, yet mostly not. If there was a word to describe them, it would be grateful. I am overflowing with appreciation. I’m not sleeping great. I wake up often and its difficult to settle in. My tastes in food have changed. I’m rarely hungry, and this is from a girl who was called “chubs” until she hit puberty. I used to love food and use it as comfort. Now, I look at is not much more than a necessity. Also, sugar is not such a big deal, and that occasional glass of wine that was enjoyed every so often has just about stopped. I have this love for everyone and just about every single thing encountered; ever. (Except maybe for mosquitos.) There’s no old hurts or grudges now. I’m not sure about all judgments, but I’d say most; most judgments just aren’t happening. Now to be clear, my life hasn’t outwardly become magical or even that different. If there was an emotion or a word that could be used to sum up what’s happening, it would be non-attachment. My daily feelings and attitudes are pretty much the same, regardless of what is going on. There’s one more thing. It’s that there’s a sense that I want to apologize – to everyone and for everything. There is an astonishment that there is so much love out here that I get to witness and to enjoy. That we all do. Maybe I’m just waking up and seeing it now. I’ll keep you posted as we continue our journey. With love and light and appreciation for all that you are, Sophia ~ Words of One, Drops of Light, (and all of my books) are available on Amazon.

Thank you! Here's a beautiful message from a decade ago, regarding our life on earth right now. It is from One, and was discovered while editing the book "Inclusion" for an audio release this spring. Enjoy!
Much love, light and appreciation, Sophia ~~~ 3/2014 This journey is meant to be taken alone. Not physically isolated yet individually experienced and understood. It is a privilege to incarnate in any case. Each child born sees life from a unique perspective. There is no point or advantage to forcing a specific viewpoint onto a child. Training may accomplish desired rhetoric – but each individual possesses an internal code. You are driven to follow this code by an internal force that is only felt with time and permission. You must feel it’s okay to follow that drive, even when opposed by strong pressure from society and your peers. The emergence of the individual is one of the things those in charge of the planet today aimed to stifle. This was done from numerous points of contact. There are many possibilities available to dull or prohibit full expression. There are food addictions that once created can be near impossible to ignore. The desire to ingest things like sugar, caffeine and alcohol is promoted in common culture and advertising, which is all driven by a corporate and not a personal agenda. The point is amount sold rather than benefit received. There have always been stimulants and sweet things to eat, yet the huge profit in the production and sale of artificially created treats and drinks that alter the mind is what drives the industry. This, over usefulness or benefit to the people doing the ingesting and buying. If this sounds backwards it’s because it is not natural. A “corporate agenda” is not a necessary component in society. It is one of the things that, unseen, has driven western culture to the brink of collapse with all of you riding along, unaware. An unseen objective is at work. You’ve grown accustomed to cravings and an idea of “needing” specific foods. This is partly because humans possess an addictive personality. While alive, we all experience a sense of addiction. It starts out as being addicted to comfort and as we grow, our desires become more specific. There is nothing wrong with desire. It is what sparks and fuels creation. The impact turns however when the desire is blind and numbed and serves no purpose beyond its own satisfaction. We are designed for variety, in both what our bodies take in and what they do. Repetitive, sedentary activity that does not alter the way it stimulates the senses or spark additional action is pointless and eventually destructive. As you think about the foods, drinks and activities you repeat on a daily basis, consider their ultimate benefit. The life you’ve been given is meant to be enjoyed and to that end, variety is necessary. The variety of choices is what advertising has aimed at. To sell a product is the motivating factor behind its creation. This, rather than benefit. It is counter-intuitive from a broader perspective, to push things on the populace that harm, rather than help, their health. That is, unless your agenda is destructive rather than creative. A society of sovereign beings will have its members clear about each action they take and its intended outcome. What benefits the whole, becomes the primary focus. It is understood that all are one and each effort has a wider effect than can be immediately seen. When something is not good for you, on any level, there is an internal sense of that truth. Now that sense can be dulled with over-stimulation, but it will not disappear. To an awake population, advertising has little effect. A people aware want truth, not glitz. Random products that promise happiness or success do not actually exist. What creates both, (both happiness and success) is you. ~~~ Words of One, (and all of my books) are available on Amazon.

Thank you! Hello. What you are looking at is an image for the word "Builders", aka us, that has been transformed into a call to unify and amplify at today's moment of the eclipse, wherever you are. It is a beautiful idea and comes to us from the graphic artist for my most recent books, Tom. So, if you see this in time, I hope you will join in! With so much love, Sophia Message follows: Hi there, Today the tribe of the rainbow warriors unites as one mind, one voice, one spirit. And confirmed 2.000.000 of them will synchronize, short - circuit and amplify the power of this historic gathering by consciously generating a common vibration through just humming for the four and half minutes of the epochal cosmic constellation. So simple. So powerful. So genius. If you like the idea, share the message. And tune in. Love TOM |
