Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
This week we take a look at communication, from within and from without, and we reflect on our true nature... which is peace. The Editor's Choice articles this week are very powerful and tie in together beautifully (in a mini-workshop fashion). And, as usual, scrolling down will also bring you to a myriad of additional articles on a wide range of topics.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.

EDITOR'S CHOICE ARTICLES
Life, Love, and a New Moon in Libra
Written by Sarah Varcas
We may be beset with all kinds of desires, passions, certainties and non-negotiables at the moment. Ice cold clarity is in the air. We are seeing, perhaps for the first time, the truth of our lives, of the false selves we have worked so hard to sustain, and the real Self neglected in the wings.

When Spirit Talks To You About Your Life
Written by Nora Caron
"I was very moved by the Blue Star Kachina prophecy,” Lucina began, sitting self-consciously next to the stranger. “I wanted to share with you a dream I’ve been having for the past months, and maybe you can help me with it? It’s been haunting me and I just want to understand it better.”

Stop Thoughtlessly Re-Posting Memes and Get in the Arena
Written by Nancy Bolling

Peace Is Your Responsibility: Are You Ready To Be Peace?
Written by Christopher Papadopoulos
To really know about peace is to embody the truth that you and peace are one. But since so many aren’t aware of what they truly are, how can they possibly know lasting peace? This lack of awareness is why, despite the efforts of activists, seekers, and indeed so many in the world who desire peace, an enduring peace escapes us.
