The Humpback Whale, Alaska<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Humpback Whales, also known as, “Megaptera Novaeangliae.”<\/span>
\nThese whales date back to over 50 million years in evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humpback whales grow to be about 52 feet (16 m) long, weighing 30-50 tons.<\/span>
\nThe four-chambered heart of the average humpback whale weighs about 430 pounds (195 kg) – about as much as three average adult human beings. <\/span><\/p>\n

These graceful mammals Humpbacks migrate at 3-9 mph (4.8-14 kph). <\/span>
\nThey have incredible powers of endurance, traveling over 3,100 miles (5000 km) during each seasonal migration with almost no rest along the way. During migrations, they cover over 1,000 miles per month. <\/span><\/p>\n

Humpback Whales have an incredible wisdom and gentleness.<\/span>
\nThey are awe inspiring and an example of higher wisdom and kindness.<\/span>
\nThey are noble creatures and a powerful reminder of God’s creative wonder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Why are you here?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

“You are not here to passively drift with the tides of ever-changing events, to fulfill useless desires, be constantly preoccupied with unregulated gratification of the senses, or thoughtlessly imitate the behavior of <\/span><\/strong>others whose lives are purposeless or misdirected.\u00a0 You are here for a higher purpose, which, when it is full realized, provides permanent peace of mind and lasting soul fulfillment.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The “right place<\/em>” for you is where you are in relationship to the rhythms of life that enable you to easily experience the harmonious integration of the spiritual, mental, physical and environmental aspects that compose your existence.\u00a0 You will know that you are there <\/em>when “your heart (essence) sings with joy<\/em>” and all of your circumstances and relationships, and the unplanned events that occur, enhance your life.”<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em>Our Deepest Fear<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
\nOur deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
\nIt is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
\nWe ask ourselves,
\nWho am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
\nActually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God.
\nYour playing small does not serve the world.
\nThere is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
\nWe are all meant to shine, as children do.
\nWe were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
\nIt’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
\nAnd as we let our own light shine,
\nWe unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
\nAs we are liberated from our own fear,
\nOur presence automatically liberates others.\u201d<\/p>\n
