This Matthew message makes some points that hit home, in particular what is quoted below. Enjoy!! (note: the Matthew website is all one paragraph; for an easier read version go here, at Golden Age of Gaia).

"The prevailing vibrations are motivating self-discovery, self-awareness, self-realization—whatever you wish to call this process of soul connecting with consciousness. Individuals are questioning on a deeper level than heretofore, but soul-searching alone doesn't provide all the answers they are seeking. Don't hide your light under a bushel, so to say—enlighten others to the extent that they are receptive...

"Perhaps more than any other factor, though, your positive attitude about today's happenings and what is ahead for your world will inspire others to start perceiving things that way too, and what a triumph that will be!"

Matthew Message 8-15-13

Information outlets; positive vs. negative reporting, perceptions; powerful influence of lightworkers, way-showers; myriad sources of light; message from St. Germain

Thus they dependably present an alarming slant on selective world affairs and laboriously report tragic or shocking events; rarely are positive happenings considered newsworthy.
