What is your problem? If you don't like the sentiments in this post then go somewhere else.
Don't drag the OP's message through the dirt. Some of us would like to keep the uplifted feeling!!
You need some truth. And that is with the Holy Ghost. Call on him using your heart. Also, that long useless posting of her nonsense actually 'uplifted' you? Baby step it my man, baby steps for you.

Wonderful words, and your intentions are pure in a sense of good vrs bad/evil, But this question still occurs to me, if it not be the pleiadian messages, law of one or anything related I seem to always end up at the same place.
We live in a dog eat dog world! for one to live another must die. Survival of the fittest.
I think we need a balance here, the world cant function on love and joy alone. We need evil just as much as good. Duality is necessary for this universe to function as it has to this point and beyond. Look at the world we live in, wars, famine, murder, rape, hate i could go on... the world is near utterly negative. As much as i'd love to live in a world rid of all evil. We don't. thats the reality. Suicide isnt an option, selfish as it is, death will come inevitably. In the meantime, we need to work together to bring down the source of negativity, as a species.
If there was a way to make the world turn their backs on evil completely, some extraordinary event. Like jesus coming back to say hey.
Unlikely, but if not jesus, then peaceful aliens coming down in their spaceships to host us some lightshow entertainment.
My 2 cents...

Spent some time on this the other night. At the time my impression was that the task at hand is over and that some are returning to their native dimensions.
But as I sit here writing this, I don't feel like it's over at all.

The act of pleasing by artful commendation; adulation; false, insincere, or excessive praise. It is usually done to gratify the self-love or vanity of the one flattered and is therefore damaging to him. Its motive is to gain favor or material benefits from another, to create a feeling of obligation toward the flatterer or to bring glory to him. Often it is designed to lead the other person into a trap. (Pr 29:5) The use of flattery is not evidence of the wisdom from above; it is of this world, being characterized by selfishness, the making of partial distinctions, and hypocrisy. (Jas 3:17) ...
...
... When a person employs flattery to gain advantage over another person, it is the opposite of love. A hater may resort to flattery but will eventually have his deceptiveness roll back on him like a stone.—Pr 26:24-28.
Flattery employs smooth talk in order to beguile its victim. The expressions “flattery,” “smooth tongue (lip, or words)” (Ps 5:9; 12:2, 3; Da 11:32), “smoothness” (Pr 7:21; Da 11:34, ftn), and “double-faced” (Eze 12:24, ftn) are translations of the Hebrew root word cha·laqʹ or related words. In every Bible instance cited, the motive of the smooth talker is bad.
...
... Your emotions, not your logical thinking abilities, are their target.
The propagandist makes sure that his message appears to be the right and moral one and that it gives you a sense of importance and belonging if you follow it. You are one of the smart ones, you are not alone, you are comfortable and secure—so they say.
How can you protect yourself from the types of people that the Bible calls “profitless talkers” and “deceivers of the mind”? (Titus 1:10) Once you are familiar with some of their tricks [whereislogic: discussed on the previous page of this article, I'll quote something from that page later], you are in a better position to evaluate any message or information that comes your way. Here are some ways to do this.
Be selective: ...
Use discernment: Discernment is “acuteness of judgment.” It is “the power or faculty of the mind by which it distinguishes one thing from another.” A person with discernment perceives subtleties of ideas or things and has good judgment.
Using discernment, we will be able to recognize those who are merely using “smooth talk and complimentary speech” in order to “seduce the hearts of guileless ones.” (Romans 16:18) Discernment enables you to discard irrelevant information or misleading facts and distinguish the substance of a matter. But how can you discern when something is misleading?
Put information to the test: ...

Playing on the Emotions
Even though feelings might be irrelevant when it comes to factual claims or the logic of an argument, they play a crucial role in persuasion. Emotional appeals are fabricated by practiced publicists, who play on feelings as skillfully as a virtuoso plays the piano.
...
Some propagandists play on pride. Often we can spot appeals to pride by looking for such key phrases as: “Any intelligent person knows that . . .” or, “A person with your education can’t help but see that . . .” A reverse appeal to pride plays on our fear of seeming stupid. Professionals in persuasion are well aware of that.

This will be about you and your relationship with yourself as the champion you are.
You are a Master, a lightbeing, One who has all knowledge of the universe's deep roots.
The use of flattery is not evidence of the wisdom from above; it is of this world, being characterized by selfishness, the making of partial distinctions, and hypocrisy. (Jas 3:17)
When a person employs flattery to gain advantage over another person, it is the opposite of love.
“BUT know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves.” Thus the inspired apostle Paul begins his prophecy that, without a shadow of doubt, finds its fulfillment in our day.—2 Tim. 3:1, 2.
Perhaps someone will ask, What is wrong with loving oneself? Does not God’s Word tell us to love ourselves when it commands: “You must love your fellow as yourself”?—Lev. 19:18.
Yes, it does. We must have a love of self to be happy, and God purposed that we be happy, for he is a “happy God.” Making oneself miserable in the name of piety finds no support in God’s Word. According to it, “a severe treatment of the body” is a mere “appearance of wisdom” but it is “of no value in combating the satisfying of the flesh.”—1 Tim. 1:11; Col. 2:23.
However, love of self, to be enlightened and wholesome, must be balanced with love of neighbor. Obviously, when Paul said that “men will be lovers of themselves” he meant that they would be so to the neglect of love of others. This is indicated by his foretelling that men also would be “having no natural affection.”—2 Tim. 3:3. ...
