It's Friday Again!
A week goes by quickly, doesn't it?!
I hope you enjoyed Issue No. 1 of the new newsletter. I had fun writing it and feeling my way into different topics until I felt like I had found the perfect combination to share with you.
As it turns out, this issue is going out on my birthday! When I was home in Shetland this summer, I had an early birthday meal with my family, since I knew I wouldn't be seeing them again until Christmas.
Today will be low key. I plan to work a little, have some fun, and eat lots of pizza. Perfect!
I hope you enjoy Issue No. 2. As I said before, send me your feedback. And if you like this issue, consider sharing it with a friend. I appreciate it.

Choose Love: A Personal and Global Movement
No new newsletter project intent on "authentic and deeper sharing" could ever be complete without Nantene and Malachor, the two guides John channels.
Nantene and Malachor have had their own online platform for years now, and I've typically compartmentalised their work and kept it separate from my own. But they are so much part of my work (and my life) that I do everyone a disservice by not including them here.
For this second issue, I intended to share with you the complete transcript of my first recorded session with them, (my very first session with them was not recorded) in which I was just getting to know them and how they work. I felt it would be a good way to introduce them to new readers.
However, I had a session with them earlier this week and their message was so timely, and obviously meant for a wider audience, that it feels right to include that transcript here rather than something from years ago.
Plus, I specifically asked them about something very much on the front page news this week, which is the "migrant caravan" crossing Mexico in hopes of finding a better life in the United States. So it makes sense to share it now.
Those who know them well will be familiar with their format, but if you are not familiar, let me give you a brief summary of how they work.
Whenever they sit with someone to have a discussion, they typically first speak on a topic they perceive is most relevant to the enquirer before opening up the discussion for more general or personal questions.
During our session this week, Nantene opened our discussion with the topic of love and its transformational quality. Nantene particularly highlighted what would happen for humanity, and our planet, if we humans started a personal and global "Choose Love" Movement (as opposed to our current dominant paradigm of choosing fear).
During this part of the discussion, they invited me (and us) to be courageous enough to choose love in EVERY situation. They said that if we were to do that on a more consistent basis, even more humans would follow suit - the results of which would be beyond our current imagining.
I've typed out the relevant parts of our discussion and include the transcript here. I also asked them questions about the We Are! Prayer Group and my personal spiritual practices, which I haven't included. Another time, perhaps.
If you are unsure what choosing love would look like in your life, let Nantene's question to me in this session be your guide: "What does love tell you?" In previous discussions, they've also asked the question, "What would love do?" By asking either of these questions in a given situation, the answer becomes more obvious.
Let me know your thoughts on Nantene and Malachor's call to action. How do you choose love right now? In what situations do you choose fear instead of love? How will you choose love more often in your life? What actions could we take together to choose love?
I look forward to hearing about your thoughts (and actions).
Enjoy!
