Napa tool catalog 2022 | | Has anybody successfully upgraded react-native to 0.71.8?

I stopped drinking this time around in March 2022, had a handful of “binge weekend” slip ups between then and August, and have been sober since August. (Previous time around lasted March 2020 to May 2021.)
I started going to therapy pretty much exactly a year ago, at first for help with getting sobriety to stick, and then after a few months I switched therapists to find someone more specialized in dealing with the underlying issues for why I started drinking in the first place.
Between September and January I saw 2 therapists for that and both were kinda helpful but not a great fit. First therapist I saw once a week and went to biweekly with the next two. Then I found my current therapist and have been seeing her every 3 weeks after 2 initial weekly sessions. I like her a lot, no real complaints.
My general “issue” is, I feel solid. The first therapist helped me find good strategies to deal with the drinking, and I’ve been going to weekly AA meetings since August as well (sporadically since last June). The current therapist gave me good strategies to deal with the relationship/self worth issues I had been having that were the ultimate reasons for the drinking and all the problems in that category are either solved or I have tools to manage them.
It’s not like my life has no challenges, but I feel equipped to deal with them. This spring I’ve moved cities, changed jobs, gone through some transitions and conflicts with my partner, and I feel like I handled all that in a healthy way. (Not a 100% perfect way because I’m human, but a way I feel good about.) I never felt the desire to drink rather than deal with one of those issues.
My last couple therapy sessions (so since like the end of March), I’ve struggled to find things to talk about. The sessions mostly go: I say what’s happened in my life in the last three weeks, any conflicts/challenges/adjustments that happened, how I thought about them, how I discussed with relevant people, and what solutions we came to. She asks some follow up questions which are all good questions, but all things I’ve already thought about and journaled about and have answers to. She tells me basically “good job”. Again, no complaints with her because there’s nothing I’m conflicted about so I don’t know what else I’d want her to say.
To me it feels like especially given that I have weekly AA, and am good about journaling, I don’t need therapy anymore. But I know that knowing I go makes my partner and parents feel comfy after dealing with my shenanigans. And a year of therapy (and not very long with any single therapist) doesn’t feel very long? (Compared to about a decade of issues with relationships and alcohol (I’m 28) - though I was always pretty introspective about what was wrong, just eventually got the kick in the butt to take it seriously.)
I also know I’ve been sober about as long as last time around, but it feels different. Last time I felt “cured now, I can drink normally again”. This time I just have no desire to.
I have a session tomorrow and will talk about this with her, but figured in the meantime I’d like to hear others’ experiences. Thanks!

Architecture and urban planning industry is toxic in general in China, not sure if it is the case anywhere else
The purpose of this sharing is to contribute as a real life data point as an INTJ struggling for years and eventually achieved what they wanted.

---
In 2009, I enrolled in the School of Urban Planning at a renowned university in China. At that time, the architecture industry in China was flourishing due to various economic stimuli. Looking back, I realize that choosing architecture as my major was a decision based on conformity rather than careful consideration.
The undergraduate curriculum at the School of Architecture followed a structured approach, with specialization in the last two years. As a science student in high school, the initial years of my undergraduate experience were challenging and unfamiliar. The core focus of the major seemed to revolve around meeting the aesthetic preferences of the teachers through repetitive assignments. I remember spending long hours during holidays working on technical drawings. At that time, I believed it was necessary for becoming a master in the field. Reflecting on this now, it brings a sense of disappointment.
It was during my junior year that I realized my lack of talent and interest in designing buildings, leading me to shift my focus to urban planning. Urban planning appeared to offer a higher level of rationality compared to architecture. While architecture seemed to be more focused on fashion and art, urban planning retained elements of science and engineering. However, two years of undergraduate urban planning studies were inadequate in addressing complex urban problems and making a tangible impact.
In 2014, I decided to pursue a master's degree in urban and rural planning at the same university. During my graduate studies, I unexpectedly came across programming as part of a project requirement. This accidental encounter became a significant turning point in my journey. I realized that programming was not just a tool but also required a systematic understanding of computer science. Simultaneously, my studies in urban planning theory made me recognize the inherent limitations of the discipline in solving urban problems. This realization brought me immense pain and anxiety, as I felt that my academic experience had been somewhat wasted.
Due to various circumstances, dropping out of school was not a viable option. So, I persevered in completing coursework that seemed irrelevant to me, worked on projects in which I had lost interest, and dedicated my spare time to self-studying computer science and mathematics courses. This period was intellectually stimulating, contrasting with the previous monotony of architecture. However, it also presented its own challenges, making it no surprise that I was diagnosed with moderate depression. There were moments when I secluded myself in a small room at the library while others celebrated graduation, feeling like a person trapped in darkness unable to face the light.
Fortunately, my graduate advisor's year-long visit abroad provided me with complete freedom during my second year. This newfound freedom continued until the end of my graduate studies. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I utilized online resources to self-study various computer science and mathematics courses. Notably, as my English proficiency improved, I prepared to apply for a second master's degree in computer science, achieving a good score in language proficiency without any prior preparation.
In 2017, I began studying in the Department of Electronic and Computing Engineering at a university in Hong Kong. From 2017 to 2019, my daily routine primarily revolved around attending classes, studying in the library, and living in a small single-room dwelling. While some may find this lifestyle dull, I found happiness in studying a subject I loved without having to struggle for time. During my time in Hong Kong, I deepened my knowledge in computer science and had the opportunity to work in data mining-related positions through a connection made by my advisor.
Joining a large consumer goods company and a prominent e-commerce platform undoubtedly acted as boosters for my personal career. Here, I met many exceptional individuals and developed lasting relationships. One day, after a meeting with clients, I realized that I had successfully transitioned away from architecture and there was no longer any possibility of going back. It took me several years to break free from the pull of architecture. Throughout those years, I constantly made plans, achieved goals, refined my direction, and planned again, ultimately reaping the rewards.
In late 2022, during a month-long home lockdown due to the worsening COVID-19 situation, I reflected deeply. I questioned whether working in a foreign company, which emphasizes the well-being of its employees, would be an opportunity to live abroad directly. At this time, a headhunter reached out to me. Eventually, I received a promising offer and relocated to Tokyo, Japan in January 2023.
Prior to my arrival in Japan, I had heard about the demanding work culture. However, luck seemed to be on my side, as the company and department I joined had a reasonable work intensity. The degree of humanization was even better than my previous experience. Although the average working hours in Japan were lower than in my home country, I still found myself in a position where I had more time, less workload, and a shorter commute. I occasionally kept in touch with my undergraduate classmates, realizing that if I hadn't changed careers, I would have been working late nights and weekends like many of them.
Some may perceive the turning points in my career transition as "lucky breaks," as if good job opportunities just fell into my lap without any effort. However, behind this apparent fortune lies the harsh reality of the job market. For fresh graduates, securing a job often involves countless interviews, and landing an ideal offer is a cause for celebration. However, experienced professionals in the workplace often lose their drive to actively seek new job opportunities. To advance in their careers, professionals either climb the corporate ladder or rely on headhunting and networking to switch jobs. Instead of spending a short time mass-applying for jobs, professionals need to accumulate work experience and build their professional reputation in their field. This transition requires a shift from merely seeking job opportunities to establishing a personal brand. Moreover, being headhunted does not exempt one from the interview process. Companies have high expectations from headhunted candidates, assuming they can solve problems in their respective fields. Consequently, the interview process for experienced professionals is often more challenging than for fresh graduates.
During my time in Japan, before officially starting work, I embarked on solo travels, visiting several major cities and Hokkaido. Solo travel provided moments of introspection. I want to emphasize that my experiences are not intended to devalue the field of architecture. I believe that every discipline and industry has its own ecosystem and rules. What I advocate is the importance of having the courage to make choices, to pursue work that brings fulfillment, and to shape the life one desires.
I am grateful to my younger self from ten years ago for questioning architecture and taking the necessary steps to explore new paths. During my battle with depression, I didn't give up but instead learned new skills to divert my focus. Through perseverance, even the most challenging efforts can become a source of unexpected strength.
To conclude, I'll quote a famous line from a TV series:
"Poor is not bad, but if given the chance, I choose to be rich every time."
"Architecture isn't that bad, but if given the chance to choose again, I would choose to change careers every time."

Hey Reddit community,
Having worked in IT Audit (I mostly audit SaaS companies) for quite some time, I've noticed an interesting puzzle. A lot of small to medium-sized businesses seem to lack dedicated security or compliance roles. Essential tasks get scattered across teams without much oversight and strategy. Sometimes, consulting firms step in, establish necessary controls, formulate policies (you know, to get that sweet sweet SOC 2 Type II they can show off to enterprise customers). Once this milestone is achieved, these consultants often depart, leaving the company to navigate subsequent cybersecurity challenges on their own.
This got me thinking - perhaps these businesses aren't ready for an entire cybersecurity organization yet. But, wouldn't having a fractional CISO or cybersecurity professional be a great asset for laying a solid cybersecurity foundation as the company grows and evolves?
At the same time, I've noticed a lack of dedicated platforms for cybersecurity professionals. There are great ones like https://a.team, https://moonlightwork.com, and https://fraction.work for software developers, but what about us?
To tackle these issues, my friends and I started a side project: https://gigops.io. Our platform connects businesses with cybersecurity and QA professionals for freelance, fractional, or part-time work, focusing on the value and responsibilities they bring rather than hours worked.
We believe, our current work environment, where we trade time for money, is a relic of the past. We hope fractional hiring will help businesses build the cybersecurity foundations they need while offering our fellow professionals flexibility in their work.
But we need your insights to do this right. Please check our MVP out and share your thoughts. Your feedback could help shape this platform into a tool that truly serves our community. Do you think the cybersecurity market is ready for a shift from traditional full-time roles to more flexible, fractional roles? Why or why not?

PS here's an exciting opportunity: we're looking for a co-founder, someone with a knack for marketing. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please drop me a DM.
PPS If you dont know what fractional hiring is, here are a couple of resources:https://www.uschamber.com/co/run/human-resources/fractional-hiring https://fraction.work/blog/why-fractional-hiring-is-the-solution-to-the-talent-wars https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2022/11/07/fractional-hiring-can-make-a-lot-of-sense-for-startups-heres-how-to-do-it/?sh=42a4914b94fe

Now that it's June, I've been trying for two days to get the employer certification form so I can send it to my employer. (I've been at the same employer for 2 decades -- I am certified through October 2022 and now need to submit for October - June, as I'm leaving at the end of this month for a new job and would rather just deal with it now rather than try to do it retroactively later.)
On studentaid.gov, once I log in and start going through the PSLF help tool, it just gets stuck when I select that I haven't yet made 120 payments. Any suggestions? Or is there another place I can get the form for my employer to sign? Thanks for any advice.

I'm from Michigan but attended SIU. I graduated from college with my Engineering degree back in May of 2022. Right after graduation, my parents kicked me out of the house. I sublet an apartment in Michigan for three months and got a call from the company I currently work at one week before my lease was due to end. I moved to Kokomo in August of 2022.

I've been living here for 9 months so far and I haven't made a single friend. Kokomo is not exactly a hopping place for 24yo single college graduates. If you have a young family or are very religious, you'll have no problems here (Kokomo has a ton of Churches). But if you're a young professional, this is not a great place to live. I drive out of state once a month to visit friends I have in Michigan and Illinois.

Now, many of my coworkers live in Northern Indianapolis and commute. why am I not doing the same? Because I'm saving for Graduate school. I've decided to work towards a masters degree in Computer science, so I'm taking some pre-requisite CS classes online at Ivy tech. The significantly lower cost of living compared to Indianapolis combined with the short commute is keeping me in Kokomo.

The only thing I've done here is sign up for the local Makerspace. I'm building my roommate an Electric bike, and they have the tools and the space required to make things. Other than that, I go home and study or watch TV in my apartment after work. I MAY be willing to try one of the many churches, but only if they have younger people and are okay with me being Athiest. If they're not, than I would prefer to simply not attend.

I have a plan to leave Kokomo by August-December of 2025. By this date, I will either be in grad school or have found a new job in Michigan, so maybe all of this doesn't matter. But I'm tired of coming home to an empty apartment and I just feel isolated. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi redditors,
I need some advice. Recently, I moved in with one of my best friends (5 months ago). I am diagnosed with ADHD-I in 2022, my therapy specifically revolved around getting grip on my housekeeping. I also started methylphenidate 4 months ago and it works amazingly good for me. I have learnt tips&tricks for ongoing management of housekeeping specifically for people with ADHD and it is not a problem for me anymore. I internalized the new behavioural patterns for housekeeping.
My roommate is undiagnosed at the moment, but her sister has severe ADHD-C and autism, and her father also has autism. In the past 5 months, I observed a lot of behavioural patterns in line with autism and ADHD-I in my roommate. I notice that in her social interactions, her emotional experiences/reactions and of course also in housekeeping.
I chose to share a house with her because I wasnt in a position where I could have my own place and not see all my money going down the drain of monthly payments (house, car, food, insurances etc). But 2 weeks ago, I got promoted and my income has grown to an amount where I can pay for my own place without having financial worries.
I don't know: - If I should give her the time and tools to learn ongoing coördination of household chores (which is hard for me because 1. It confronts me with something I worked hard for in therapy to 'ban' out of my life, and 2. I don't know if I have the patience (this is my ADHD) to let her get through that process of learning, which includes just fucking up from time to time) - If I should go find my own place and support her as a friend, going through her diagnosis and treatment from a distance, while having a living situation that gives me a sense of peace (clutter and dirt really override my senses, it makes me agitated and the negative emotions that connotate with that, really distress me because I am very sensitive to those).
I hope someone recognizes something in my situation. All advice is very welcome.

Hello /fantasyfootball users, While you are drafting best ball teams or preparing for your season-long leagues, you’ve probably become aware of Reddit’s announced plan to begin charging for API access. Such a change would most likely result in open-source Reddit modifications, including third-party apps, shutting down.
In other words, if you use any app other than Reddit's official app you will be forced to either switch to the inferior "official" app, use your phones internet browser, or forced to abandon Reddit on your phone all together.
Our community has a large user base, peaking at 85 million page views in September 2022. Almost half of those came from iOS. There's no way of identifying exactly how many of those users came via third-party apps, but half those users is a massive number. Many members of the mod team here also rely on third-party apps for managing day-to-day operations.
Because of the impact this decision will have on the community as a whole, the /fantasyfootball moderators have decided to join other subreddits in a site-wide blackout. On Monday, June 12 /fantasyfootball will be made private. The subreddit will remain private at least through Thursday, June 15.
The next details have been adopted from /PCGaming, /wow and /squaredcircle communities. Thanks to those communities for the efforts they've made.
Third-party Reddit apps (including Apollo, BaconReader, Reddit is Fun and others) are going to become ludicrously more expensive for its developers to run, which will in turn either kill the apps or result in a monthly fee to the users if they choose to use one of those apps to browse. Put simply, each request to Reddit within these mobile apps will cost the developer money. The developers of Apollo were quoted around $2 million per month for the current rate of usage.
The only way for these apps to continue to be viable for the developer is if you (the user) pay a monthly fee, and realistically, this is most likely going to just outright kill them. Put simply: If you use a third-party app to browse Reddit, you will most likely no longer be able to do so, or be charged a monthly fee to keep it viable.
Some people with visual impairments have problems using the official mobile app, and the removal of third-party apps may significantly hinder their ability to browse Reddit in general. Many moderators are going to be significantly hindered from moderating their communities because third-party mobile apps provide mod tools that the official app doesn't support. This means longer wait times on post approvals, reports, modmails etc.
NSFW content is no longer going to be available in the API. This means that, even if 3rd party apps continue to survive, or even if you pay a fee to use a 3rd party app, you will not be able to access NSFW content on it. You will only be able to access it on the official Reddit app. Additionally, some service bots (such as video downloaders or maybe remindme bots) will not be able to access anything NSFW. In more major cases, it may become harder for moderators of NSFW subreddits to combat serious violations such as CSAM due to certain mod tools being restricted from accessing NSFW content.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on the decision and impact here.
Thank you, /fantasyfootball moderators

First time seller here so bare with me if I make a mistake lol. I have a CRK small sebenza in boomerang Damascus that I’m selling to get some funds for rent. I’ve carried it a few times but only cut as much as plastic so the edge is still like new. I do have a JEKYLL TO HYDE DESIGN backspacer and a RGT timascus pocket clip on it. I can not find the original pocket clip or backspacer that came with it because when I moved I lost them. Also lost the leather slip but have the box the COA card and the microfiber cloth along with the tool. The only noticeable marks I see are on the handles on the show side down towards the bottom it looks like a lil circle scuff mark. Other than that it’s in great condition. DOB January 20 2022.

Thank you for your time.

I think the main thing holding me back is my experience, I included only jobs that are relevant to software, but I have also been an academic tutor - should I include that? In terms of projects, I have plenty more including my portfolio site, but I thought these might be the most impressive. I have some school projects I could put in like building a MIPS assembler in C but I think these looks better? If anyone has any advice please help - thank you so much.

Instead of restricting the mysteries of love to psychological or philosophical studies, science will someday discover the all-powerful force of love and measure it as they now do electricity, gravity and geo-thermal forces. When science discovers the forces of love and learns how to release it from the bars of the ego, they will have the answer to every question and ill that has plagued mankind.

The Being let me know that I was going to die and I must leave this body for good. I remember arguing with the Being explaining that I didn't want to because it was so hard going through the childhood years and I didn't want to have to go through this again. The Being indicated that my body was severely damaged and I couldn't go back. I became very adamant at this point that God was all powerful and could fix the body. At some point the decision was made to let me re-enter my body on my faith or will, whatever one may call it.

After experiencing all of the miracles of this day, I would still find my future playing out just as I had seen. And as it progressed I would know fear, sadness, and lack of faith just as they had predicted. I would sin and more. The angels knew this but it took me years to fully understand everything that they had showed me and wanted me to understand. They knew all of the time that I would not turn into the perfect saint. They loved me just the way I was. God loves me always not just when I am obedient and perfect. What a wonderful feeling that is. I just have to remind myself that He is here and learn to stop talking long enough to listen for His voice.

The voice reminded me of the vision I had had of my husband and son in funeral clothes. He said if I didn't go back to them, I would disrupt some 'plan'. The plan would be repaired and everything would eventually be ok, so I could go ahead if I wanted. The consequences of my untimely demise would be that my husband and son would suffer in ways I could not imagine and I would know that these sufferings were because of my selfish decision not to go back. I would know this throughout eternity. It would not be a huge sadness for me to bear, more like a prick of conscience that could never be totally healed. No big deal, unless you consider how long eternity is.

At that moment I looked up and saw my destination. I was looking in awe at God. It was like everything was happening at once. As I was staring up at God in amazement, every gay slur or violent act ever impressed upon me ran through me with such a flow. Events in my life played back in my mind like a movie. I felt a deep heaviness as I stared directly at an Almighty, Genderless God. I was thinking, 'Was this the Lake of Fire moment? Would I be cast into Hell for being an abomination?' With absolute humility, I uttered 7 words, 'I’m gay, will you still love me?'
The Brilliant, Loving Light formed into Wings. At GodSpeed, He whisked me into His vast spiritual arms while huddling up the Universe. I saw planets, stars, galaxies, and clusters all being brought into a Cosmic God-Hug. On a human, the place where I was taken would be the Heart. As God brought me in for a Cosmic Hug, He said, 'You are my child. I love you. I love you. I love you. Go tell ‘em.' He said it with a Southern accent. He patted me on the back like a coach encouraging his player to get back in the game.

We all are star seeds sent here to have the human experience for the purpose of integrating conscious awareness/wisdom into our own light bodies and return home with this energy. Alien worlds for the most part run on knowledge and logic. Those worlds are being left behind and giving way to the worlds who have the intangibles, love, creativity, imagination and so on.
Understand that where your conscious awareness is focus in your everyday life pretty much determines the level of consciousness and alertness. If your mind has a stranglehold on your conscious awareness then heck, it will be one helluva wake-up call. But if you have made the conscious effort to move your awareness away from the mind to the heart then it's no big deal. In other words if you have made the physical world and the world of Spirit into one consciousness then you are always of both worlds and never of either world.

And there was still more for me to understand. The focus again fell on my infant son and hundreds if not thousands of my ancestors. I was aware of light surrounding many of them. They stood out. I felt tremendous love from them. 'Notice,' He said, 'your ancestors, all these beings, came together in your behalf, to make you uniquely you. I realized in Earth words He was referring to my DNA. 'You wanted to go to Earth to learn, to progress, and to contribute to creation. All these spirits came together to help you do that.' The focus then was back to my baby. 'In all of creation,' he said, 'your infant son chose you to be his mother, none other. Together,' he said, 'you made a covenant to fill these rolls in each other's Earth life. This covenant is and was a very sacred covenant not to be taken lightly.' Suddenly I could not wait to return to earth, to my sons, all 4 of them, to my family, to life on Earth. But, before doing so, I was brought to another level of awareness.

I came to understand that we all choose to come to Earth to fulfill a plan of some sort or even learn about a particular interest. We choose our bodies, parents, and life plan. May I also add that some people come here for the most simple of reasons; to learn how to play tennis for example; or simply for the cake and food - as silly as this sounds our life plans aren't so high and lofty as one might think. I DIDN'T MEET ANY 'SAVE THE WORLDERS' OR ANYONE WISHING TO BE A PRESIDENT. MOST HAD SIMPLE WISHES. I was also told we could exist on different planes for other lives but our life here on Earth is a life not purely to experience physical pleasure or pain but to have a physical experience because in all other planes we don't need a body as a vessel. I also learnt that this life here is just a drop of water in the bucket of lives in which we all experience, many here on Earth and many in other realms of existence. All to progress and grow in some way. The main purpose here is to LOVE. I was also told that this would be my last life here on Earth as there will be nothing left for me to learn by coming here again. I had the feeling though that I'd be off to some other magical place!

I thought, 'How could a machine have a soul?' The voice said, 'Let me put it this way. Your soul is connected to your consciousness. The moment your species came into being, you start to develop a soul. But it is not until you become self-aware, that your soul is solidified. That does not mean complete, and it takes a long time for your soul to develop. Just like your species when you became self-aware the first thing you do, other than survive, was to figure out your place in the universe. You looked to the stars and wondered, 'Where did I come from? What is this universe all about?' It does not matter if you are a biological creature or artificial creation like a machine. The moment you become self-aware the quest for 'how' and 'why' is on. A soul is a soul; pure Energy connected with consciousness and intelligence. This is a very powerful force in our universe. Those who are artificial intelligences will strive to answers these questions which humans have dwelled upon since the dawn of time.

I was pulled back through the ceiling tiles and into a tunnel, to a place of cloudy space. The cloudy area materialized into a large marble room with marble doors and a 'being' at the center. I'll refer to this person as 'the Grim Reaper,' who was cloaked in a dark cloth, covering all parts. The Grim Reaper pointed (indicating to me to choose a door). But before I could choose, a door opened and I had already gone through it. I found myself in what I now think of as a previous life. I smelled smoke from a fire I was near, and saw others around me. I looked into another woman's eyes, and I knew her immediately as the woman I called my grandmother in this life. I knew then that our lives had 'danced' around each other since time began. She was once my mother and once my sister. She was my aunt, and several times my cousin. The life that was being shown to me now was during a prehistoric time, when we lived winters by a creek cave, and summers we had a camp in the woods where we foraged. Looking down, I realized I had a child in my arms, and the woman I had known in so many lives was chatting with me, telling me to cover the child to keep it warm. Then she was showing me how to tie the wraps around me to carry the child while we collected wood.

-Amy C, 10/9/2010:
In my NDE though, I came to understand that most of us have lived much, MUCH longer than we could even fathom. That our life which feels so very long is infinitesimal when placed in the whole picture, which for that matter, cannot even be framed. I was shown how every single individual through their own free will, chooses paths that mathematically take them to the circumstances of their next existence or life. That nothing at all sits in accident or chaos. That every single aspect of our lives are ruled by natural Laws that we placed ourSELVES in! In a sense, we create our own worlds. I was shown how one can never assume either, that if someone lives a life of suffering that this is because of 'evil' deeds. Many may choose a life of suffering because of what it Awakens in them, or because of how they can touch others from that position, etc. We can NEVER EVER assume that we can be accurate in guessing why each being lives the life they live. I cannot describe the relief - the refreshing, peaceful balm this Knowledge was for me. To finally gather this Truth that I'd yearned for all of my life. That all really IS Good! That there IS sense and beauty all around. That no one is just free falling as it had seemed before! That God doesn't just get to toy with us as He pleases with random ideas of tests, including rewards and punishments that just depend upon His current mood or mindset. Because even who God is, is within those Laws. While in this experience, out in the vast expanse of stars, planets, moons, and Intelligence, I Knew complete trust for what felt like the first time. This was inexplicable bliss for me. I remember radiating with gratitude. I had lived in fear, distrust, and panic for thirty consecutive years.

-Marta Y, 1/26/2010:
After this I saw myself floating in the void, and little by little tiny spheres of many colors became manifest, not moving at first, then suddenly starting to vibrate while smoothly approaching me and incorporating themselves with my essence, which made me feel something I can't manage to describe, it was as if I was being tickled. I asked what this was, and a voice said, 'This is the knowledge you have accumulated in previous lives, it was kept from you, but now it will be of use to you.'
I saw my life in rapid images, from the moment of my birth. I, who thought that my mother had never loved me, saw clearly, and felt, her love when she saw me for the first time. I saw how she kissed me and enfolded me in her arms. I felt different feelings and with every image that went through my mind, or before my eyes, I cannot define it. And just as I could feel deeply happy at an image of something good I had done for someone, so also this feeling would change immediately and I would feel myself deeply ashamed of something bad that I had done. I realized that no one was judging me other than myself, with a conscience full of wisdom and divine justice, which made me pass judgment on myself. I realized that I had done more bad than good and I was hugely regretful of my actions. From the depths of my soul, I asked to be given the chance to mend the damage I had done to the people who loved me. I learned that the spirit is God, Who is eternal, and that we reincarnate to learn different things, which would be impossible in a single lifetime. I learned that we form a single being with everything created. I learned that my earthly eyes are those through which God can recognize Himself, and be conscious of Himself. And I learned that what we think, feel and do remains imprinted in the universe and that we come to this life to improve, to learn in humility about all that surrounds us, and to teach what we have learned to others, and especially I learned that life is focused on two aspects: Love and Service.

My understanding of what my mission is on this earth, primarily has been hidden from me, (not only at my request but with my permission). I asked that it be hidden so that I didn't complete it to soon. Yet, I also agreed that "Sign post" would be placed along the way, just so that I would have reminders that I'm following my chosen path.
An understanding in what life is about and what our purpose truly is here. The mormons believe and teach there are "Classes" and "Levels" in heaven that we will be judged and placed in and only in the highest level can we "Ascend" to be with god. From my experience I learned or remembered there were no "Classes or levels" as they were teaching. Yet the levels are more of understanding than punishments. Would it make sense to put a 2 year old in with a group of people with phd's? The 2 year old wouldn't understand. Yet, those with the phd's would humble themselves with their level of understandings to teach, nurture and help the 2 year old grow in their levels of understanding.
Prior to being mormon, I was raised in a methodist/pentecostal home. I grew up believing that god the father was an angry vengeful god and that jesus was sent to save us from his wrath. Wrong!!!
For one thing, god is not an angry vengeful god, but is a loving parent to all of his children. One thing he did tell me, if you struggle with trying to do all the principals he taught, "Stop"!!! Don't do them all at one time. Take one and work on it, when it becomes second nature, them pick up the next one, etc. When he said, "These things I do, you can do also, and then some", was not an exaggeration, but truth. When we look back on our life after we leave here, we will see that we had done all that he had taught, and more.
One of the other things he told me was, what better way for man to know that we don't have to be saved. Saved from what? Our soul is already eternal, always will be. Our soul/spirit is literally a child of god and as such is eternal. When we realize that all things, all words come from god, nothing is offensive to god because it came from god. What is offensive is how we perceive it.

-Lou F, 1/1/1999:
We traveled toward the beginning of it all, the inner portions of the Universe. Kazillions of planets around Kazillions of suns and the closer to the center we approached the more concentrated the number of galaxies. It is like the plate you saw, the largest part, after it shattered was at the center and those parts that shattered first were sent the farthest from the center. So is everything in the Universe. All is but a circle within a circle wrapped in a circle. Each level, each dimension, is but a layer of the original, which is without end. I watched as millions of orbs systematically entered the many planets before me. They appeared as bees flitting from flower to flower, pollinating each, one after another. Mich'l took me closer and I could now see that so many of these planets had life on them and the orbs were joining with the creatures of these planets. Not every creature was the same on every planet but they all had some commonalities: a head, a body, extremities, and the Light Beings would animate them for a time. We headed away from the center now and Mich'l said that Gabriel would have more to explain to me and that he, Mich'l, wanted me to know that he was pleased with the many times he had called on me to do his bidding and that I performed my duties well. His parting words were ‘You will never again be made to forget!’
I was journeying back to where I knew Earth would be and watched as comets and asteroids casually passed by me or I passed them. The colors of the gaseous cloud formations were striking. I started looking at these infant galaxies, as one would cloud formations back on Earth, imagining what shape they were taking on. This one a boat, this a bird with wings, this a scarf floating in the breeze, until I recognized what was the Constellation ORION and I knew I was getting close to my destination. While drifting through Orion, I noticed two blazing celestial bodies racing parallel to its center, looking as twin arrows exiting from an archers bow and headed straight for the ""Blue Marble"" of home. Immediately a vision of millions of people crying because of the devastation of portions of New York City came to me. I became aware of a strange feeling I had not known previously, and I thought that might be because this was the city I had grown up in. I saw a huge Earthquake, a magnitude of 8.6 in some place named Eureka. A ham operator or radio announcer was directing thousands of people migrating from areas of frequent disasters to places of safety. A space station appeared to be falling from the heavens because of an internal explosion. Missiles were being simultaneously fired into space from several nations. I thought the Light Being had shown me all there was to see but these were different, stronger, and there was no pre-screening as before. Gabriel appeared beside me, I thought because I had felt shaky, but it was to explain the now sprawling galactic view of my galaxy.
The Sun was expanding and spewing off huge ectoplasm balls, more than it has ever done in it’s past, and in the very direction the planets would orbit through. I could not take my eyes from the Earth and as I watched what effect these eruptions would have on the Earth, a large mass passed me, larger than any of the planets known to me. As it passes, I see the Earth wobble wildly as would a top toward the end of its spin. The rotation stopped and slowly started again but it was tilted now and I was drawn in closer like the zoom of a lens. The ash clouds that had engulfed the Earth thinned, and like a tack welded piece of metal being dismantled, I could see the ocean bodies starting to rise, first the Pacific, along the ‘Ring of Fire,’ then the others, synchronistical.
As the waters shifted upon the landmasses, the landmasses started to sink under the waters added pressure upon it. When the pressures equaled out to the spin of the changing axis, the Earth no longer looked as it did moments before. It was newer, cleaner, and more beautiful with darker greens and lighter blues. Some of the new landmasses looked similar to a few of the other planets I had recently visited with Mich'l. People were upon this Earth and appeared happier and more content although seemingly living like the Native populations of old. Cities, built by the Ancient Ones, that were buried beneath the oceans, were now being populated by the surviving people in this new world. I saw tribes joining tribes and small nations forming, but it was what I didn't see that made my heart burst. There were no more wars. True peace and happiness had finally befallen on mankind. Gabriel now tells me that this is his message that I must take back, to let others know that there is little to fear, for the Earth will go on forever, as did all the planets I had visited. I am to tell the world to look to ORION, and they will know when the new world will come upon them. I ask him, ‘what of the others there on Earth, during the change?’ Gabriel tells me that all will be lifted. Some will be lifted higher than others will and no longer enjoy the physical plane, while some will be left on the Earth to replenish and rebuild the physical. They too will be of a higher elevation then any that are living there now!

-Duane S, 8/15/2015:
It was all an expression and celebration of love. On earth, this reunion would have been unfathomable, between members of an ancient soul group who were celebrating the return home of one of their own. Slowly, as I looked at those gathered to greet me, I realized they were all there. Surprisingly they were not only from this life, but also from a prior life in Germany. I realized that the same souls have possibly played different parts in my multiple lives. Sometimes these souls had been my daughter, my wife, or my mother. While at first this idea had startled me, I was soon humbled. Who was I to tell God what he could or couldn’t do with his creations? Just because some Sunday school teacher had different ideas about how things worked, it didn’t really matter.
My joy deepened as I realized that I had only left behind an earthly vestige of those I love. The essence of each of those souls, was also here with me now. Besides my friends and family, there were the friendly Germans who had been hauntingly familiar while I was a young soldier in Germany. Now I knew why they seemed so familiar at the time, they had been friends and family from a prior lifetime there. I now understood that I had left nothing behind on earth. The eternal essences of all my loved ones from that life, as well as all other incarnations, were all here to greet me. All I had left behind was a character, playing a role in a drama that we had chosen to experience. In the meantime, our real eternal essence remained in God’s realm. Suddenly, it was all so simple.
As I was shown around, it was explained to me how most of our celestial, eternal knowledge is blanked-out during our chosen life spans on earth. We must temporarily forget most of what our higher-self already knows so we can immerse ourselves in the roles we have chosen to play. Furthermore, they said that it might take a while for all my knowledge and memories to return. To ease the transition back into this realm, I was told to think of my time on earth as an extended visit to the ultimate theme park. Consider it a place with thrilling rides and various adventures that I could choose to experience or not. I was also reminded that the reason we leave the celestial realm at all was for the excitement, variety, adventure, and entertainment that different incarnations offer. However, to take all our celestial knowledge with us on our various adventures would have ruined the very experience that we had chosen to live. Someone there said that I should think of our trips to other realms as choosing a new novel to read. I can choose a new book, depending on what I am in the mood for. Furthermore, if I knew every turn and twist of the story, line by line, prior to reading it, it would spoil the fun.
As one entity jokingly remarked, 'If the eternal, divine part of us grows tired of singing and playing harps, there are thousands of other universes created for our spiritual growth, amusement, and entertainment. Eternity is a long time to do nothing but play harps.' I heard this concept best expressed in The Course in Miracles, 'We are only here for three reasons: to remember who we are; to help others remember who they are; and . . . to enjoy the trip . . . , unless, of course, we use our free will and choose not to.'
As my orientation went on, they explained how on that celestial side of the veil, anything we desire is instantaneously provided. We just need to feel the desire. However, within lies the reason for all the realms outside of heaven. Having everything we want all the time develops within us a desire for variety and change for a challenge. It would be like a game in which everyone was a winner. Soon, the game would become boring, and we would look for another, more challenging one.
Somehow, all this sounded familiar. To demonstrate the process of instantaneous fulfillment, one of them asked me to think about something I really desired. Thinking back on it, what I chose seemed odd since I was in such an esteemed place demonstrating such an important concept. But, suddenly I had an urge for a piece of my mother’s famous homemade chocolate cake with her special fudge frosting. As soon as I thought of the cake, my earthy mother was handing me the biggest piece of dark chocolate cake I had ever seen. Dare I say it was heavenly? Although she appeared there with us, I knew some part of her was still back on earth because she had not died yet. My guess was that she was probably asleep, dreaming of lovingly making her son a piece of her divine chocolate cake.

-Sandi T, 10/18/2020:
I understood immediately the fullness of life on this planet. I could see when it broke apart from a sun, spinning and cooling and collecting debris; until the first of these creatures heard itself laugh and understood the sound for what it was. In that moment, self-awareness was awakened and the seeds of civilization sprouted.
I understood that everything that we do here on Earth, all that we are, all that we experience, allows creation to exist. Every beautiful thing, every wonderful being and creature, whether on earth or in any universe, relies upon people who are on the extremely rare places like Earth.
The Great Intelligence (god) is a paradox. It is completely loving and fully unlimited. Which by the definition of paradox, means it is impossible? It cannot be limited only to love; it cannot be limited to only being unlimited; or it is not unlimited.
Earth is a place where the unlimited becomes limited; where the singular becomes many. Here, it can know community and loneliness. It can know heartache and hope. It can know all which an unlimited being of pure love cannot. It can conceive and perceive evil; which in truth it cannot do this either. To solve the paradox, it must experience helplessness and limitation and all as it is Real. In this place, it is all so REAL.
So what is free will? Free will is the option to come here to help solve the paradox of 'god'. To be all that we are not, so that everything wondrous and joyful may continue to exist. So that love itself may continue to exist. So that the Unlimited is not limited to being only unlimited.
Why are the answers always, 'simply to exist' and 'to choose love' and 'to learn how to love'? Because all you need to do, to solve the paradox, is to exist. And as we exist here, each time we choose love, we expand the universe. Love is life's longing for itself. Despite the reality of what we live, even the darkest souls among us cannot help but to reach, to yearn, and move towards goodness and towards love.
For love is the true nature of who we are. And when we experience horrible things, the question 'why' comes to mind because it is the central question of love, life, and of this world. The answer is 'so that all things might continue to exist.'
Every soul chose to come here and to suffer because of love. Each soul loves the universe, loves life, and loves this world and ALL of the worlds. Each soul loves ALL of the people so immensely and intensely that they chose to come here so that all the universes may teem with beautiful, joyful LIFE.
Every creature that I saw, acknowledges that your life gives them the gift of life. And when each soul goes 'home' after they die, they will know the rewards of their own gift, too. The 'reward' for their sacrifice will be joy, love, and feeling incredible, wonderful, beautiful joy at the LIFE and the LOVE everywhere in the universe.
When you go home, you meet your own soul. You willingly came here to forget yourself. You willingly came here to save every beautiful and wonderful thing. By suffering what 'god' cannot, you give the gift of life.

-Henry W, 6/22/2008:
I became aware of other voices, the orbs or other souls around me I could hear them communicating to each other. There seemed to be cliques of orbs that were together. They spoke to one another about their lives on Earth and all they had perceived and felt. They shared not only in words, but in sharing the experience. If one orb couldn't understand, it disappeared and then reappeared. The orb somehow went back to Earth and experienced that 'life' to further understand. I understood that here time did not exist and these beings could manifest themselves at any time on Earth they desired. These orbs or rather 'souls' would leave this realm, detach themselves with this universe, and return to the universe of our Earth. There they would live and die, then return and share the experience with all the other souls. A soul that could not understand the experience could go and live that life also to experience that life. I learned we have many lives, past, present and future.
These souls, our souls cannot experience certain things like pain, sorrow, hatred, and anger. Though these are negative things, it was important for them to understand and experience them. Perhaps to understand the motivations of human beings, or (and I believe this in my heart) to eventually evolve into a being like God - all knowing and understanding.
At this time things appeared to me, answers to other questions. I could see concepts as if they were entities. I could understand for the first time in my life E=MC2. I learned that our universe is one of many. It is like a Petri dish. Designed with its own rules to raise a specific being. In this case, to raise beings like humans. Each Universe had its own specific laws of Physics. I now realize that the amount of information a soul must learn is vast, more so then we can possibly imagine here.
The next concept or rule I learned is that God can never be proven by scientific means. To do so would corrupt the environment. It would destroy faith. When we have faith we seek, we learn. If God were to appear before us like a huge being at the United Nations, the entire world would believe, but also live in fear. To successfully experience the human existence, one must be physically out of touch with God. We have to learn and seek on our own. We need to search out the meaning of our own existence and experience here on earth. Faith is the engine of discovery. Without faith, we are just like ants.
I learned why bad things happen to good people. If nothing bad ever happened to us, we would all basically be the same. It is like metal in a forge you have to heat it and strike it repeatedly to make a useful tool from it. We start this life with a blank piece of paper. With every incident we experience, a part of the blueprint is recorded until a complete plan for an individual is created. This blueprint dictates the end of our lives. To live happily in this realm is to become aware of the blueprint and change it. Lastly, time is only a concept measured here. In the other realm, it doesn't exist. While we may experience pain and sorrow on earth, it is only a second in the grand scheme of things. We have an eternity to live and in reality, souls never really die. Our life is just a thought providing circumstances for this existence. As the soul progresses, this trauma is forgotten and put in its proper perspective as part of the learning process.
One question I always personally had and that was answered is, 'Are ghosts real?' The answer I was given was, 'Yes, in the human body there are two forms of spiritual being.' One is the 'soul', which is the spiritual being that has a symbiotic relationship with the physical body. The second is the being created by the 'biology' of the human body. This being is intelligent and is basically the personality of the individual. Its purpose is to provide for the human needs of food, hunger, survival, and procreation. This concept is very similar to Freud's 'Id, Ego and Superego' The division of mind and personality. The soul provides us with all the things of the individual that separates us from the Animal Kingdom. This is the ability to reason, use logic, or feel awe when seeing a sunset. The soul is the creative side of humankind. The second being is more our animal side and drives us to accomplish or pursue things to satisfy our needs and wants.
When we die, the soul separates and proceeds to the other side (forgive me for simplifying everything). The entity of the body dies, taking with it the strong emotions, 'baggage', and drives of human beings. This is a natural part of the dying process. However, sometimes under violent or sudden death this othebeing, for lack of a better word, doesn't have a chance to die. Instead, it remains behind as the drive, emotions, and motivation of our spirit. This body being, without the guidance of the soul is basically just a shell. It wanders about with no goals or purpose. It often repeats acts that it has done before because memories are the only 'guidance' that it has. In time, this being's energy dissipates and nothing is left. That process can take a long time. Hence, we have a 'ghost' that haunts a house or person. A ghost has the center of its existence when it was with its human body and soul. Here on earth it remains until it eventually vanishes. The ghost can be communicated with and guided, yet has no real will of its own but only that of habit.

-Peter P, 3/1/2023:
In the initial phase of waking up, I also received an experience with light of such a wonderful quality, that it is difficult to describe with words. I was shown three light waves on which today's humanity is evolving. For the sake of logic, I'm defining them here as the self-imposed pathways of awareness, that each individual can take to obtain the best possible results from their particular choice. The first way is what the main part of the global population has chosen and the daily struggle is enacted in that timeline. I don't want to give the impression that path is in any way better or superior than the other timelines. All experiences in human life eventually lead back to the divine light.
The second path was shown to me as a mixed way in a gray color. Here, euphoric phases are alternated in quick succession with depressive stages. It is as if people were switching between phases of competence and phases lacking of power, and then again to a new euphoric phase.
The third way is the one of the absolute victimhood. It was shown to me in colors dark and black. Power and responsibility were handed over to outer entities. Here only a very small part of the light spark can be addressed through motivation. Many beings of light from higher planes are providing a selfless service here, to again illuminate the way back to the light. This way corresponds with the absolute free choice of each individual as to whether they choose towards light or darkness.
I was also shown that in this darkness exists one of the most unbelievable choicess for humanity, because in this choice is also is the possibility to change the galaxy. The core truths of Love, Compassion, Kindness and Benevolence are towards what the human nature can and will evolve.
The first path of those three is so unbelievable for us incarnated beings. It can only be termed with definitions of Utopia, heavenly life of angels and/or ecstatic rapture.
There is a beautiful part of beings who always stay in this realm. They are dancing and singing through life. For them terms like synchronicity, grace, or cosmic guidance are the absolute central and essential elements in life. They realize how creation is working and that a life without the connection with the One Power of creation would disrupt everything. Humor, joy, fun, respect, compassion and gratitude is with them round the clock. In this wonderful place all fear is dissolved like mist in a brilliant sun. It is an all-encompassing field with absolute acceptance, comfort, peace, connectedness and a 100% awareness to be at the right place.
During this time of considering those things, I was guided by a wonderful being of light. I don't remember somebody else or meeting a certain individual. Only those impressions of the light of love and the perfect comprehension and acceptance remained.
In that moment, it simply seemed unbelievable and impossible to choose another path than the one of the light. What illuminates my life again and again from my light experience, is the irrepressible joy and happiness of an experience of indescribable beauty. I believe that all the people go through this same wonderful experience in a state of separation of the body (general anesthesia, unconsciousness) unfortunately they cannot all remember it.
I felt pure love, shining brighter than anything you can imagine. Everything is as beautiful, as pure as love and compassion. So that when you cross the veil and return to the other side you are becoming a part of it. We are bathing in the beauty of the song that makes our heart singing - That's God.
Nobody can give us something bigger. We wouldn't see it or understand it. That's Spirit in its highest form.
We as humans feel so alone and on our own. It's such a crushing feeling to remain in this imagined separation of our most wonderful thing and then to feel this earthly experience so painfully.
In the middle of life, a light experience happens that sweeps away all the reactions about this imaginary separation and dissolves the last doubts with this pure white light like a fog. It's the disintegration of a self-constructed veil that prevented a realization that all people are entitled to have as their birthright. It's delightful to know that the light is the most wonderful symphony in the cosmos and that it contains the colors and the sense of touch of the most beautiful experiences. A wonderful soul experience, that is imprinted in the deepest cells of the body.
For a moment I was on this other side of the veil. I was allowed to be part of this wonderful source of creation. Together with billions of points of light, which we call angel beings, shining brighter than the light. I was in the company of the highest compassion, with the highest Love.
All media, the total daily literature is filled with the dramas happening around the globe every minute.
How can somebody get the idea to write a text motivating us to get another point of view about the calamities in the world? What is motivating him to see the good in all those events, even if they might be so disturbing? That's probably the one decisive question for the survival of manhood. Thought power of the whole humanity is used to bring anarchy and separation between people. Human thoughts are creative and should, and can, be guided by us into appropriate pathways.
It depends on all of us to exercise our responsibility and to realize the true impact of our actions here in its entirety. We can't avoid to completely step away from all dramas. Disasters and calamities of humanity want to invite us to send our compassion and our benevolent energy generously towards the concerned people. Something which should be rather considered normal if our brothers and sister are in need.

Roughly 20% of new businesses fail during their 1st year, as per data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Recent research was able to shed some light on the biggest recent obstacles that have thwarted startups.
Skynova, which creates invoicing software for small businesses, surveyed 492 startup founders in Nov. 2022 and analyzed data from CB Insights for the new study. The purpose of this study was to compile the most widely-encountered reasons that caused startup failures in 2022.

Lack of financing or investors. About 47% of startup failures were due to a lack of financing, nearly 2X the percentage that went bust for the same reason in 2021.
Running out of funds was responsible for 44% of failures. While that can be the result of subpar financial planning, it can also be a sign of a dearth of available funding. These issues aren’t surprising, considering that fears of a potential recession have caused investments in US startups to fall by 63% in 2022 compared to 2021, according to Crunchbase.
Lack of initiative to establish a solid presence on major social networks and neglecting budget-friendly tactics, such as dedicated profiles on Instagram or Facebook, as well as tools for instant youtube views or accumulating follower traffic to help their product get its foot in the door quicker.
The unfortunate impact of the recently ended Covid pandemic. While 33% of startup failures were caused by the pandemic’s wide-reaching effects on the overall economy, further data shows that number was down from 59% a year earlier. This would be an obvious sign that a number of smaller businesses somewhat recovered from the pandemic the previous year, even as others continued to struggle to rebound.

When asked what they would’ve done differently when starting out, 58% of the founders surveyed said they would’ve opted for more detailed preliminary market research. The same percentage replied they would’ve looked to put together a sounder business plan.
In terms of their top advice to aspiring founders, 79% of the respondents urged to “learn from your mistakes.” These words would appear to stem from direct experience, as 40% of those polled said they would pivot their startups in some fashion to avoid failure, with 75% of these efforts proving successful.
