Positive psychology and eudamonia

by Matrin Seligman

Positive psychology is a relatively young branch of psychology that “studies the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.” People have been discussing the question of human happiness since at least Ancient Greece.
Martin E.P. Seligman is an American psychologist and writer. He is well known for his work on the idea of “learned helplessness“, and more recently, for his contributions to leadership in the field of Positive Psychology.
According to Haggbloom et al’s study of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th Century, Seligman was the 13th most frequently cited psychologist in introductory psychology textbooks throughout the century.

FIRST WAVE INDIGOS

Where It All Started

It has come to my attention, that more than 85% of the “True Knights” on this planet today (which includes women) are “First Wave Indigo Children/Adults.” They have filtered into this planet for over 70 years, coming en masse (about 62%) between the years of 1969 and 1987 and about 30% were born in the 50′s.
Here is a brief profile of what a First Wave Indigo is all about, and also some of the challenges they have had to overcome.

The Ultimate Secret: 4 Steps to the Passion of Your Soul

Here is the ultimate secret:

Works that come out of the passion of our souls make a huge difference in the world.
When we read a book, experience artistic expression like music or art, or attend an event that is the result of soul infused passion, we are deeply affected. We have found a precious gem and feel honored to share the moment with others.

As I work with people in conscious business and even spiritual endeavors, the connection with the deepest part of our selves is often missing. We don’t allow time for it. Yet, when we take time to connect with our souls, and then connect from one soul to another soul, something extraordinary happens. We create an opening for inspired, impassioned creativity to occur. In this moment, we experience love and fulfillment of the soul that is way beyond any achievement or possession.

What is worthy of your time and attention? Life presents a confusing array of feelings and desires.
What are you deeply passionate about?
How do you know which desires to go after?
How can you solve problems?
How do you let go of painful experiences from the past that are affecting current relationships and choices?
How do you have more loving connections with people?

Create an opening for inspired, impassioned creativity to occur.

The Solution

The angels of love are here to help you discover the truer part of yourself that knows. The purpose of the love angels is to guide you into a profound personal relationship with God.
From a connection with God and the truer part of yourself, you access divine intelligence and experience endless varieties of love.
