The Three Main Factors Causing Record Low Fertility Rates

The Three Main Factors Causing Record Low Fertility Rates

Jordan Sather

Post on January 21, 2026

The replacement fertility rate is defined as the level at which a population replaces itself from one generation to the next, which is roughly 2.1 live births per woman for most industrialized countries. In 2024, the U.S. recorded its lowest ever fertility rate of 1.6 births per woman, following a downward trend in fertility rates starting in the early 2000s. If this trend continues, we will be seeing population decline over the next few generations. Population decline can lead to overburdened healthcare systems, labor shortages, abandoned infrastructure and other negative impacts. Not good.

A group of globalists somewhere are sitting around a table cheering while watching their depopulation plans unfold.

Many people point to the sole cause of the fertility crisis being the poisoning of the population, which absolutely plays a part, but there are other important factors in play. If the economy is destroyed to a point where middle class families have a difficult time simply affording children, and the feminist & fake alpha incel bro movements brainwash men and women into hating each other, that will only reduce people’s desire to have children down even further, as well as their ability to.

The Poisoned Population

Quick statistics:

- 1 in 5 men over 30 has clinically low testosterone

- Today’s teenage boys have less testosterone than a 68 year old man

- Men’s testosterone is 30% lower than it was 40 years ago

- Endometriosis diagnoses have risen 32% in the last 10 years

- Polycystic ovary syndrome rates have doubled in the last 10 years

Our hormones are suffering for both men and women. Issues surrounding the hormones and reproductive organs are increasing at a blistering pace, and the causes for this are quite obvious. Horrible diets, environmental toxins, and lifestyles that destroy hormonal balance are becoming too prevalent and our bodies are suffering because of it.

Diet: Our body needs certain nutrients to adequately produce and regulate our hormones. Electrolytes like potassium and magnesium are directly linked to maintaining healthy hormone levels. Vitamin D levels are chronically low, studies show men who took 3000 IU of Vitamin D daily for a year increased testosterone by 25%. We need health omega-3 fatty acids for hormone production, and our modern diets greatly lack omega-3 fats. The overconsumption of omega-6 polyunsaturated fats (“seed oils”) is destroying fertility, as well as increasing chronic inflammation in our bodies. Trace minerals like Boron positively influence testosterone production, and iodine deficiency has been shown negatively impact estrogen and testosterone levels. Proper diet is key.

Toxicity: Chemicals called xenoestrogens are destroying our bodies and hormones. “Xeno-” in Latin means foreign, these are outside chemicals that act as estrogenic agonists in the body. They bond to estrogen receptors and influence hormonal balance, upregulating effects of estrogen. Most of these estrogenic chemicals are petroleum byproducts. The hygiene products we commonly use are full of these petroleum based xenoestrogens - lotions, sunscreens, bodywashes, handsoaps, makeup, and more. The average person absorbs 2-3 pounds worth of hygiene chemicals into their body that they put on their skin per year. Pesticides on our food are also a source of highly estrogenic chemicals, as well as perfumes and preservatives used on carpets, upholstery, furniture, new cars, and other goods. Studies show the umbilical cord blood from newborn babies often contain up to 100+ different environmental toxins. We are a poisoned society.

Other health factors: EMF waves do a number on our reproductive organs. Studies have shown that EMF exposure induces DNA damage in sperm and embryonic cells. Living within 500 meters of high voltage power lines has a four fold increase of infertility, possibly due to EMF effects on hormones. Sleep patterns are also an issue, with research showing going to bed after midnight and sleeping less than 7 hours causes the body to produce anti-bodies that lower sperm count. More sleep = more melatonin = better quality eggs in women. Stress is also crucial to manage, as cortisol and other stress hormones interfere with sex hormone production. Moderate caffeine intake is shown to be fine for fertility, but too much caffeine negatively affects both sperm count and female fertility, and people sure do love their coffee and energy drinks. The list of our habits negatively affecting fertility can go on and on.

Focusing on regulating our health is crucial to fix the fertility crisis. We are completely disconnected from our natural biorhythms, and our society is suffering because of this.

Economic Strife

The way our globalist controllers have destroyed our economy, the value of our currency, and turned us into wage slaves has caused people to choose not to have children, or as many children, because they literally cannot afford to have kids.

Spending 40-50 hours per week working and forcing the would be Moms to go to work as well as the Dads leads to potential families also not having the time to afford kids either.

Inflation has caused certain costs of raising a child to go up 2-3 times over the last 30 years.

Home costs are, evidently, far higher than they were for previous generations.

50 years ago it took about 7 years working at minimum wage to afford an average home.

Today, it would take about 30 years working at minimum wage to afford a home.

Not just home prices but food, clothes, toys, and everything else has gone up. As well as taxes.

Luckily the Trump Administration just signed an executive order to ban institutional investors from purchasing single family homes. The reduction of mass illegal immigration will also help home prices go down in the U.S., simple supply and demand economics. Hopefully these factors will help drive down the cost of homes in the years to come.

We need time and resources to be able to have children, which we have greatly lost over the last century.

Intersexual Dynamics

Another major factor influencing fertility rates is the evolving relationships between men and women (not to mention the evolving relationships between some people and their own gender).

Female and male “empowerment” movements are largely increasing a sense of entitlement in the minds of the sexes, along with service to self attitudes, and they no longer value having deep, connected relationship with someone of the opposite sex nor value having children.

Feminism is leading women to essentially hate men, blaming men and the “patriarchy” for all the ills of our modern world.

It’s also leading women to believe the definition of success is having a career and making money. A very materialistic attitude.

In their obsession over “having a career” and “being independent”, they forget about trying to have any kind of beneficial relationships with men and no longer care about becoming a mother. They view getting married and being a mother as being subjugated to men. They equate long term relationships to being enslaved, so they sleep around instead because they “just want to have fun” and “enjoy life”. This behavior destroys their ability to pair bond.

By the time these kinds of women “hit the wall” in their mid to late thirties where they finally realize that they do want to get married and raise children, their bodies are already well past the height of fertility - they can no longer physically have children and their ability to pair bond is destroyed.

The Hoe_Math YouTube channel does a great job at analyzing male/female dynamics from psychological perspectives. The name sounds immature, but his research is actually quite deep and reasonable, seeing the issues that plague both genders.

Subsequently the “Manosphere” movement, essentially some men’s answer to feminism, is also destroying intersexual dynamics. In response to feminism, many men are deciding to “go their own way” and leave any relationships with women behind, similarly focusing on careers and getting money as the definition of “succes”. The same kind of materialistic attitude.

Many men in this “Manosphere” movement view women as nothing more than birthing persons who only get in their way of getting more resources. They see women as humans with vaginas only good for sex. They do not want marriage or children for similar reasons that the feminists don’t, putting themselves over others.

Not being a simp to females is one thing, but the males that get sucked into these movements and mentalities take it too far. Fake Alphas abound in them. Their sense of masculinity is quite immature and undeveloped.

These feminism and maninism movements largely behave in quite similar ways, and then blame each other for societal issues. At their core are superficial, self-serving attitudes of materialism and victimization, and blaming of the other sex furthers the divide between the genders.

Less deep, connected relationships = less children = fertility crisis.

I think for those that are currently mothers and fathers with children, or even grandparents whose kids have young kids, we need to teach our younger generations properly where they don’t grow up being entitled shits, where they don’t grow up seeing success and only money and a career, and where they grow up knowing how to properly navigate relationships with the opposite sex using honesty, transparency, and honor. Validation seeking is destroying the ability for both men and women to form deep, connected relationships.

Here is a quick rant on my SatherSays YouTube channel about the dynamics between the feminism and manosphere movements.

This used to be my backup Destroying the Illusion channel, I changed it into a channel for truck talks when I got the channel reinstated. A place where I post general musings on the problems of modern society. PhilosoSather.

Health.

Economics.

Psychology.

These factors all together are driving fertility rates to all time lows in the United States of America.

It will take a few generations to fix, and we can start by prioritizing our individual health, raising our children right, and getting involved to change local and national government policies that free us from the Wage Slave Matrix.

The May Energy Report

The May Energy Report

The Enlightening Life Newsletter

By Jennifer Hoffman

May 3, 2024

As we roll into another month you may think ‘here we go again’ but that would be unwise because nothing is as it seems and everything is shifting we just are not aware of it all. I have a theory about that which I will discuss in the May Energy Report.

May opens with some beautiful blessings and that sets the tone for a month whose theme is abundance, fertility, new growth and beginnings, and the earth. Named after the Greek goddess Maia, the month of May is the start of the growing season so its focus is new growth, blooming, and fresh starts.

This month is part of the period I said would be a time of great change and revelation and we are here. So much of what we have done in the past decades, especially the past 5 years, has been a preparation for our new levels of expansion and ascension. We are becoming more multi-dimensional as we move from polarity to duality, from chaos to congruence, and from discord to harmony. We are still moving towards these final choices and it’s all part of the path.

May’s Energy Report is a beacon of hope as well as a clarion call to act and embrace our full energetic potential and then reach for higher vibes.

LISTEN ON ITUNES 

LISTEN ON SIMPLECAST 

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY

If you wonder why I always put the year in the monthly Energy Reports it’s because I have over 10 years of energy reports on the website and two files cannot have the same name. So I had to choose between giving each one a different name (other than Energy Report) or adding the year to the name which is what I decided to do. I started writing these energy reports as our downloads and shifts started to become more frequent and more defined. They have always given insights as to the nature of the month’s potential and the central energetic theme.

My monthly energy reports are my most read, shared, and downloaded articles every month and I know many of you look forward to them. I know others write monthly energy reports, copying my format and messaging. While I do not like it when others steal my ideas and work, they serve their audiences according to their energy and if that means appropriating ideas, concepts, and information from others to do so, in the end their karma will catch up with them.

You may not have noticed (but you probably did) that at 11:00PM Universal time on April 30, just before May began, we had an XClass solar flare which I thought was a great way to usher in a new month and cut ties to the old one. We also had a rare and potent astro aspect that is our example of ascension because it involves the divine masculine and divine feminine. More on that in a minute.

May is the 5th month of the year and in an 8 year (2024) that is a 13 or a 4. Now pay attention to 13 because it is a mystical number, not unlucky. 13 is one step beyond our 12 dimensions, it is the number of universal alchemy, and the number of full embodiment of faith and form, which we also call human and material.

In numerology we add any double digits so 1 + 3 = 4 and that is the number of stability, aligned action, guided determination, and formation. April was a 3 month which fosters creativity and ideas, in which what we thought we knew was dis-integrated to make way for new thoughts and ideas. Now we can put those into play. I saw a lot of friendships and relationships dissolve in April and many were past their prime, held together by thin threads of hope and expectations but something pushed them over the edge and that was one of the byproducts of the April 8 eclipse.

May opens with a fabulous expression of divine masculine and divine feminine energy with Mars moving from Pisces into Aries (its astro home) and Venus moving into Taurus (its astro home) from Aries. Both of these planets moved from their natural 12th to the first house. I will give you an overview here and if you are in the Core 4 Pillars of Karma program, I am adding it to the curriculum because it’s a great way to learn more about your karma path. 

Your natural 12th is the house before your Sun placement, and I believe it refers to your karma, life lessons, and the healing and overall purpose of your lifetime. If you are an Aries Sun sign and your sun is in the 6th house then Pisces, the 5th house, is your natural 12th.

If you are a Virgo sun and it is in Taurus, then Aries, the house before Taurus, is your natural 12th house. This makes sense because Aries rules action and risk taking and Virgo can be very indecisive, doubt itself, and procrastinates a lot.

I did the research (I always look up numbers) and this particular alignment between Mars and Venus, both changing signs at the same time and moving into their astrological homes, has only happened 5 times since 500 BC. The way I see it is the coming home of our ascension journey, the completion of a spiritual cycle that makes way for the beginning of a new evolved paradigm. Remember ascension is not linear. We do not move up the ascension ladder or down the ascension road, we rise up the ascension spiral and expand as we rise into new dimensions and frequencies of being.

I have said that we would see a lot of changes in the May and June period, through August and that period begins now.

The world is so far off balance, the energy gaps between density and light, between 3D and 5D are so big now that the imbalance and the dis-order can no longer be maintained. 3D and 5D could live in a sort of harmony as long as the light did not expand significantly more than the darkness dis-integrated. But now the separation between light and dark is so great that we have reached a tipping point.

So if you are wondering about your relationships and why you have suddenly shifted your energy or changed your mind about many things in your life, or your friends or family have created a situation where you had to choose between two things and each choice is independent, moving you from one energetic level to another (for example choosing between doing something illegal or not doing it, and the price is having a relationship with them), then welcome to the ‘no turning back now’ club.

We have truly graduated into new levels of being which means we are considering our next steps and our choices and decisions from a different perspective.

Are you finding 3D paradigm activities to be mind numbingly boring or uninteresting?

Do you have no interest in things that used to get your attention?

When the people in your life sever connections do you mourn the loss or just bless them and send them on their way?

If this is all happening to you, and it is happening to everyone right now, don’t think you’re unlucky or facing tough challenges. Our karmic relationships with our soul group members was never designed to be lifelong, harmonious, or even to end in a joining of hearts, minds, and energies. While that could have been a possibility, it was never a guarantee and indeed it never has been in all of the lifetimes we have had together so why should we think it would be the case in this lifetime?

Maybe it’s because we know at the foundation of our being that this is our final lifetime together and we want, more than anything, to bring our soul group members to the light. Maybe it’s because we want to have our efforts validated, we want our suffering to be vindicated, we want to know that they could have done or been better, kinder, more compassionate, and less evil.

But we are kidding ourselves here and if you are experiencing this final countdown in your life, it is not a random incident. The end correlates with your ascension path and seeks the answer to this question: are you ready to let go of the karma wheel and move into your own 5D path or not because you feel you have an obligation to your karma partners to get them to the light first?

Your answer to that question will decide the direction of your path. And there is no right or wrong or good or bad answer, it’s all about your intention, your CORE karma issues and path, and when you are ready to let go and move on.

This is supported by May’s energy theme which is about how we use and interact with energy. 

From an energetic standpoint, we are always engaged in one of 3 energy pathways: evolve, devolve, and revolve.

When we evolve we are moving out of karma and soul cycles.

When we devolve we are moving back into karma and soul cycles with a lower frequency – the experience has taken us back into cycles of wanting karmic fulfillment

And when we revolve, we repeat karma cycles we just went through.

There are only 4 ways that energy moves – forward, upward, downward, and repeat. With the forward movement we are in 3D linear mode, moving forward on the same path into new experiences that are on the same energetic wavelength.

With upward movement we are ascending and raising our vibes. Our best use of this energy motion is in conjunction with forward mode but this requires a 5D energy vibration.

Downward means we have chosen a lower frequency to engage in and we’ll have more lessons to learn there.

And repeat means just that, we are in repeating cycles because we cannot let go and move on. Our karma legacy is too powerful and we are not ready to let go yet. We still have a karma mission to fulfill and our karma agenda wants validation so we’ll stay with it for a while longer, no matter how difficult that is. If you’re ready to explore how to release your karma path then you can join my CORE 4 Pillars of Karma Healing & Release program at this link.

This is the ascension path, it’s how we move energy in our lives, and decide our next steps. It looks a lot less complicated than it is because we are just looking at the energy here, not at the emotions, the connections, and the entire karma path.

But in May we will have options to consider and opportunities to experience a variety of energy movements, all within the scope of our own personal experience, of course. Right now this is affecting everyone. So as you are going through this, other people go through it too. They have a different perspective, a different karma path (aside from the one they have with you, and it is their karma path and their choices that determine what they will do.

May is a month whose name is both a question and a statement, I write this every year. We can ask for permission ‘May I?’ or make a statement “I May” which does not imply a firm decision, as we do when we say ‘I will’. Here we are allowing ourselves to have some options. I may do one thing or I may do another thing, but I know that I have choices to make and I have more than one path open to me.

May does not have any eclipses, we had those last month but we are not finished with them yet. Eclipses have a long action path, from 6 months to a year or longer, and that April 8 eclipse was powerful so it is going to hang around for a while. You can read about the April 8 eclipse in the April 2024 Energy report.

On May 1 and 2 we have 3 big astro events:

Mars and Venus are both at the beginning of their home signs, with Mars at 0 Aries. This is the zero point, the very beginning of the zodiac. It is the most powerful point in the zodiac, followed by 29 Pisces and what planet is almost at that point? Neptune, the planet of illusion, deception, spirituality, and enlightenment. This is a huge Alpha Omega portal and it is moving us into a greater level of spiritual awareness which is why we are seeing the frenzied activity of so much chaos, perversion, degeneracy, and chaos. Remember that chaos is a by product of descension, it happens with the dis-integration of 3D.

If you are wondering about the strong spiritual awakening and movement at this time, don’t be because Neptune has been quietly working in the background since 2011, slowly creating space for 5D energy and dissolving illusions, deceptions, and veils of confusion. It doesn’t leave Pisces until early 2026.

And on May 2 we have Pluto turning retrograde at 2Aquarius and it will continue its retrograde back into Capricorn, hanging out at 29 Capricorn from September 2 to November 20. We will not have Pluto in Capricorn for another 248 years (and that is a very good thing). The final countdown of the Pluto in Capricorn, which began in 2008, will finally be over. While we may think it had a disastrous effect and caused so much trouble, it did remove the veil of illusion and reveal the truth about vast conspiracies, corruption, social contamination, and a lot of dirty deeds.

This is just the surface, the real truth is far worse than what we have seen but this is what is going purged from the earth grid as we continue to bring in 5D energy and light so don’t despair. The battle against the darkness is one we can’t lose unless we stop shining our lights.

May’s new moon is on May 7 at 18 Taurus which is going to bring Saturn into the mix. On May 23 we have a full moon at 2 Sagittarius which forms a nice angle to Pluto as it retrogrades to 1 Aquarius. And the Aries, Taurus, Aquarius, Pisces planetary concentration is finally over when Venus goes into Gemini on May 23 followed by Jupiter on May 25.

We have had this energy focus for months and it has caused a lot of upheaval but it’s finally over this month. And one more thing, Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow on May 14 so that will be over too. It won’t quite be smooth sailing ahead but at least we’re going to be out of the storm and into some calmer waters.

May is a month of options, opportunities, and outstanding results if we stay aligned with our highest intentions, stay focused on our creative powers to move and manage energy, to not focus on the dark and fear, and remember that we are here to live in joy so make each moment a joyful one. Use your powers of appreciation to raise the vibe and keep your lights shining. Have a wonderful month.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

Emmanuel Dagher

ENERGY FORECAST

DECEMBER 2023

Posted on December 1, 2023

 

 

 

Happy Holidays my friend,

 

Your presence here is cherished, and I’m so grateful for you.

 

We have so much to catch up on, so let’s get right to it . . .

 

A Golden Opportunity

 

As the year 2023 comes to a close, we are being presented with a phenomenal opportunity to heal the deepest wounds and hurts within ourselves, to help prepare us for an epic new year.

 

2023 has been an immensely spiritual year, one that has been helping us anchor into our hearts and minds a balance between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.

 

Ancient Chinese philosophy describes this time of chaos and heightened change as a turning of the tides.

 

The Yang (the Masculine) is being called to support and serve the Yin (the Feminine). Although these principles can appear to be opposites, they are essential to the expansion of one another.

 

Every aspect of our lives is experiencing the reverberations of the sweeping internal and external shifts that have been taking place.

 

Right now, we have the opportunity to welcome an unwavering balance between the Divine Feminine principle and Divine Masculine principle.

 

This balance has a strong potential to manifest itself and become realized in the collective consciousness in 2024 and beyond.

 

This will reveal itself through qualities of more grace, compassion, gentleness, patience, flexibility, wisdom, beauty, authenticity, creativity, and abundance, as well as more acceptance, forgiveness, nurturing, fertility, accessibility, kindness, healing, and unconditional Love.

 

What’s being asked of us now is to create the space within our mind, body, and energy field to better support and sustain these qualities and to allow them to flourish.

 

For each remaining day of 2023, I invite you to find a few minutes to create space in the following way:

1. Close your eyes. Take several deep breaths to help you center, then place your right hand over your heart, and place your left hand on top of the right hand.

2. Ask your I AM Presence/Spirit how you can support and love them throughout your day, the way she/he has supported and loved you always.

3. Listen to the silence in between the thoughts. This is where the answers from your Spirit will begin to reveal themselves. If the mind is unable to understand or receive a direct answer, simply allow your mind to bask in the silence for a moment.

4. Express gratitude to your mind for being willing to embrace the stillness within you.

5. Express gratitude to your Spirit for loving you unconditionally.

6. Open your eyes and express gratitude for each of your senses—your gifts of sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell.

7. As you go throughout the rest of your day, imagine periodically what it would feel like if your heart was smiling.

 

A Time to Heal

 

The opportunity to heal our deep and unresolved traumas is now being fully realized, in our personal lives and for all humanity.

 

Growth and healing that once seemed impossible to the rational mind are now becoming a normal part of life.

 

Healing occurs because of allowing ourselves to return to a state of peace.

 

Wherever there is peace, we can know that flow, ease, Love, wholeness, joy, creativity, and abundance will reside.

 

If any of the following are attached to our expectations of healing: Fixing something, getting rid of something, controlling/forcing something to happen, blaming something, hiding or denying something, not allowing ourselves to feel something—that makes it far more challenging to experience a healing.

 

Allowing peace to be our top priority creates an opening for lasting healing to occur.

 

True peace is the foundation for creating a world of unity, Love, and abundance for all.

 

We are seeing many countries around the world now breaking away from the old ideologies that have promoted intercultural separation and disconnection. There’s a collective priority now that is laying the foundations for a much brighter future ahead for all, rather than for only a select few.

 

There may be a healthy skepticism in our minds as to whether all this is really happening, because of all the separations that our minds have been conditioned to see in the world.

 

This is completely understandable, considering that it used to take decades or centuries before any real change became visible.

 

However, as things continue to evolve more quickly, it’s becoming easier to notice the changes happening all around us.

 

In our personal lives, the current energies are creating an opportunity for us to transcend the old stories we once created for ourselves, which prevented us from healing.

 

Some of these stories include:

Believing that we must believe that every thought we have is true

Believing that the mind needs to operate from fear and victim consciousness

Believing that we need the approval of anyone other than ourselves

Believing that we are broken and need fixing

Believing in lack, and not having enough

Believing that we are not allowed to feel our feelings

Believing that we are misunderstood, and that no one can understand us

Believing that we need something outside of ourselves to make us happy (a romantic soul partner, a certain lifestyle, a specific body type, etc.)

All these stories, which were created by the mind’s tendency toward self-protection, have the opportunity to be resolved now, so that we can return to the peace that has always been underneath it all.

Peace is who we are at our core.

 

As our inner stories come to the surface to be healed and resolved, it’s important to give ourselves permission to feel all our feelings, without judging ourselves.

 

Every thought, emotion, and feeling we have ever experienced deserves to be acknowledged, and to receive our unconditional Love.

 

With this new awareness, imagine the opening that will take place for healing to be fully realized in our lives!

 

 

A Special Time to Be Present

 

The holiday season is an excellent time to practice being more present in the moment.

 

When we are present, we transcend time and operate from the most expanded and empowered version of ourselves.

 

Practicing presence allows us to be open to miracles, insights, opportunities, synchronicities, and blessings that we may otherwise not have noticed.

 

Being present helps us to transcend the illusions of time.

 

It’s from this space of no-time (a place of non-attachment) that our greatest, most desired intentions can manifest.

 

Here are some simple things we can do to anchor ourselves in the present:

Spend more time exploring and enjoying nature

Express gratitude often throughout the day

Sing, dance, knit, or find other ways to express ourselves creatively

Notice and be mindful of our five senses—taking quiet moments to notice the sounds, shapes, colors, tastes, textures, and scents all around us

Have a big belly laugh daily

Look into the eyes of everyone we encounter throughout the day, and smile

It’s in the present moment that most of our freedom is experienced, because we are no longer bound to the illusions and habits of the past or worries about the future.

Consciously choosing to ground ourselves in the present moment leads to a life lived from a state of grace, flow, and ease.

 

Welcoming the Support of the Universe

 

As this year comes to a completion, this is an excellent time to reflect and get clear on what we’d like more of in our lives.

 

Here are some questions to ask ourselves, to get greater clarity on what we want to create more of:

“What does my life look like when I am at peace and happy?”

“What are some things I enjoyed doing as a child that I can integrate into my life now?”

“What actions or situations feel expansive and good to me?”

Answering these questions can help us get clear on what we really want to experience more of.

 

Once we have that clarity, it becomes easier to take action, and to ask for support.

 

Most of us hesitate to ask for support from others, either because we’re unclear on the kind of support we desire, or because we were conditioned to believe that getting what we want takes something away from someone else, creating a burden for them.

 

There’s also the belief that, “If I ask for help from others, they’ll expect me to return the favor.”

 

Life is about sharing this human experience with our sisters and brothers. And an important aspect of the human experience is being part of a community.

 

We are here to share our blessings with one another. If you are surrounded by people who do not want to support or help you, it’s usually a reflection of how you’ve been treating yourself or others.

 

Are you generous with your support towards yourself and others? Do you offer support to others without expecting anything in return?

 

Does it feel easy and fun for you to share your blessings with the world?

 

When you can fully answer “yes” to these questions, you will notice that support is abundantly available in your life.

 

When we express what we desire with the Universe and those around us by asking for support, we open ourselves up to receiving opportunities we might not have had a chance to experience otherwise.

 

The Universe wants to give us everything we’ve ever desired for ourselves. It’s just a matter of how open we are to receiving it.

 

If you ever find yourself feeling unsupported, find an opportunity to support someone else, even if it’s someone you don’t know very well.

 

This act of kindness will shift the energies for you. It will open your mind, eyes, and heart to knowing that life is much more than hiding or separating ourselves from others.

 

It’s about living, loving, and sharing our gifts and our presence openly.

 

Enjoying the Magic of the Season

 

Often, this time of year offers a unique glimpse into what direction we are moving in as a whole, in our collective consciousness.

 

This happens most easily this time of year, when most people are more open to the magic and wonder that is actually available to us at any time of year.

 

This often allows people to put aside their differences, while practicing more kindness, care, and compassion.

 

Because of this, each year during this season, we all move up another step on the ladder of consciousness. We begin to move further out of the world of separation, and into a world of peace, love, and respect for all life.

 

If you are someone who has closed yourself off from the extra magic available to us this time of year, don’t be too hard on yourself! Just know that if you desire it, it’s available to you.

 

During this holiday season, let’s love and adore the three-year-old child within us, and in every person we meet.

 

This is the part of us that just wants to be loved, accepted, and nurtured.

 

We as adults now get to offer this love to our inner child, and the inner child of all those we encounter.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Till next time,

 

With love,

 

Emmanuel
