Living with Just Enough

Abundance is a fact of nature. It is a fundamental law of nature, that there is enough and it is finite. Its finiteness is no threat; it creates a more accurate relationship that commands respect, reverence, and managing those resources with the knowledge that they are precious and in ways that do the most good for the most people. --Lynne Twist

Living with Just Enough

--by Azby Brown, Original Story, Sep 19, 2012

By now we are all extremely familiar with the litany of challenges we face as a global species, the threats of scarcity which pit state against state and community against community, problems manmade and visible in nature: growing population, increasing urbanization, deforestation, damaged watersheds, over-consumption of resources, energy shortages, waste, pollution....All of us could easily add to this list. We know there will be no easy fixes, no panaceas, but nevertheless as we try to set priorities and search for the most promising ways to approach these problems, many of us find ourselves looking to different cultures and to earlier eras for inspiration. In this regard, the Edo period of Japan has a lot to teach us. We could in fact use it as a model of how to flip impending environmental collapse into sustainability, primarily by allowing a rich and insightful mindset rooted in centuries of experience and wisdom to guide our decisions.


The Edo Period began in 1603, at the close of 200 years of civil war, and lasted two and a half centuries, coming to an end in 1868 as the country opened to the world and was first exposed to the fruits of the industrial revolution. Most of what we think of as "traditional" Japanese design comes from this era, when shoguns ruled and society was a strictly delineated hierarchical pyramid with samurai at the top, merchants at the bottom, and farmers and craftsmen, the bulk of society, in the middle. During this time the population rose to about 30 million, roughly comparable to Canada or Peru today, and the city of Edo -- renamed Tokyo in 1868 -- was home to over 1.3 million residents.

At the beginning of the Edo period, the people found that they had deforested their mountains and were suffering from a cascade of ill effects, such as damaged watersheds and decreasing agricultural productivity. Most resources, such as iron ore and potential fuel sources, were scarce; firewood itself was at a premium. Even more significantly, there was very little arable land, and by the mid-18th century all the land that could be used for farming was already utilized. The period began with shortages and famine, but after two or three generations of wise regeneration, the large population was enjoying a quality of life arguably higher than in any contemporary European country. The forests had been saved, agricultural production had increased manyfold, and culture and literacy were on the rise.


Beauty depended upon how well a thing helped people fulfill a host of unstated requirements that lent life its meaning and purpose and helped sustain it indefinitely into the future.


The specialization that so distinguishes our culture and technology today -- the very productive mental tools we have developed that enable us to break problems down into elements that can be worked on in isolation -- would seem very odd, even incomprehensible, to a Japanese of the Edo period. True, the society was rigidly stratified and in that sense specialized, and people worked for years to master specific trades. A miso shop was unlikely to sell kimonos.

But the culture as a whole was pervaded by a sense of time in which outcomes were measured in centuries, and in which it was nearly impossible to plan even simple tasks without a broader awareness of chains of consequences that would emerge from one's actions, or of the origins, destinations, and connections among the people and things which supported human life like a vast web of interconnected spirit. As is the case in so many pre-industrial societies, people were trained from an early age to be generalists, to be multi-competent, and to always be aware of the big picture. Religion, particularly Zen Buddhism, but also Shinto and Confucianism, acted as a balanced bed of "common sense" which encouraged such thinking.

Through the influence of these values, reflected in both commoner's proverbs and in the writings of the cultured elite, problems were defined in such a way that the need for long-term thinking, conservation of energy and resources, the need to work with instead of against natural forces, and the importance of providing meaningful work for everyone instead of endlessly seeking to minimize labor, became requirements so well understood they rarely needed to be explicitly stated.


Consequently, a farmer planning an irrigation channel would find it impossible to do so without relying on his understanding of the forest, the seasons, and the wildlife that would be affected.

A carpenter planning a temple would begin at the mountain from which his timber would come, analyzing the wind and watershed there. A blacksmith forging a hoe blade knew that the fuel he gathered for his fire would remain adequate to his needs only if he did not damage the forest while gathering it, and designed the blade to be repairable and replaceable as well. By nature and by training, at every level of society individuals learned to identify important nodes amid the myriad relationships they encountered in the natural world, little fulcrums, so to speak, where applying the right amount of effort would reap the greatest mutual benefit.

Water and fuel were both precious, for instance, so Edo Japanese considered hot water nearly sacramental, transforming both tea drinking and bathing into important rituals; everything that produced and used hot water was designed to achieve the greatest economy of fuel and fresh water use. The visual appearance of these things -- stoves, kettles, bathtubs, cups -- could be robust, elegant, fantastic, or even all three at once, but if it did not also perform the "magic" of efficient and waste-free operation, of being either recyclable or able to be used for generations (and then recycled), it would be considered a poor design, an ugly thing to own and use. And this, I think is one of the best-kept secrets of traditional Japanese design: beauty depended upon how well a thing helped people fulfill a host of unstated requirements that lent life its meaning and purpose and helped sustain it indefinitely into the future.


In an environment such as this, what kind of thought had to enter the design process in order to produce successful designs, which would continue to be used for a long time? Of course the item has to perform the function for which it was intended. The material of which it is made must be abundant and collectable without using much energy besides sun, water, gravity, and human power. Wood, bamboo, straw, and earth satisfied these requirements best in most cases, and this was reflected in the low cost of most items. Similarly, the manufacturing process had to use a minimum of external energy.

Because of this, iron and steel were quite expensive, and used sparingly. Beyond these basic requirements, the economics of reuse came into play as a set of secondary virtues. In particular, because wood was relatively scarce and its cutting was carefully controlled by law, a design that allowed wooden material to be reused would be very attractive. I don't want to give the impression that traditional Japanese craftsmen and artisans consciously subscribed to a set of theories that promoted functional, sustainable design. Instead, the people who made these things were supported by a society for whom these values were givens. As designers, they gave form to their users' expectations.


This way of thinking was stimulated by the scarcity of resources during this period, but even without scarcity as a motivator, this kind of awareness can undoubtedly lead people to a better life. Can design alone lead to a sustainable society? Probably not. But it can affect what we want, what we find attractive to own and use, and help initiate positive shifts in attitude. Once we start expecting everything we buy and use to embody less water and energy in its production, to be made from abundant and renewable materials, to be easily reused, reconfigured, and transformed into new items when worn out, and to see all this reflected in its form and appearance, then we will have planted the seeds of an Edo-like sensibility.


Can design alone lead to a sustainable society? Probably not. But it can affect what we want, what we find attractive to own and use, and help initiate positive shifts in attitude.


There is more to it, however. Edo society was literate and informed, and one of the government's major roles was the protection of the environment, which it did through forestry ordinances, waterworks, and promoting good agricultural practices by sponsoring how-to manuals and almanacs.

This was not through altruism or for the spiritual advancement of the rulers, but to ensure the safety and security of the realm and the longevity of the regime. Intriguingly, government policy was most effective when the goals and principles were laid out by the central bureaucracy and each region was encouraged to develop local solutions. In many ways, this local thinking and responsibility lay at the heart of the success of the program to achieve self-sufficiency and sustainability on a national scale.

Though a very active national trade network existed, each of the dozens of fiefdoms into which the country was divided was encouraged to be as self-sufficient as possible. Each village in a fief was encouraged to do the same, as was each family in a village. The result was what we might call a "mosaic of economies," in which government and trades people were the most dependent on the cash sector, while villagers could meet most of their needs without every touching money, utilizing a "gift economy" in which surplus goods were circulated as reciprocal gifts until every household had pretty much what it needed. Ironically, most low-ranking samurai, whose fixed incomes --paid in rice -- failed to keep pace with inflation, found themselves increasingly dependent on the same "gift economy" system. Unable to buy enough to eat, little by little they converted their urban pleasure gardens into vegetable plots, and, forbidden from selling their produce on the market, secured what they needed by circulating their surplus through a network that included their neighbors and relatives.


Edo period Japan was extremely fertile creatively, and extraordinarily inventive. It was a nation of makers and inventors. The importance of the cross-fertilization and innovation that emerges when most people in society are designers and practitioners of crafts is often overlooked. In the case of Japan, every household could be expected to have expert weavers, masters of straw crafts, fermenters, carvers, horticulturists and gardeners. They used very little of what we would call "machinery," depending instead on hand processes; you might say that Japanese training and experience produced a quality and consistency of production using handwork that the West only attained with machinery.

Beyond this, the ethics of the professional craftspeople -- carpenters, potters, blacksmiths, papermakers, and dozens of other trades -- established a personal bond between maker and user, the former expected to keep an item in good working order for the duration of its useful life, the latter expected to show appreciation through small gifts and remembrances. The making of a thing in most cases was the beginning of a long-term connection between people, and that connection was cause for celebration and acknowledgment. If nothing else, our society suffers from a lack of this kind of connection, and the fact that many of us are now willing to pay a high premium to possess handmade items whose maker is known to us shows that the hunger for these connections remains.


Changing design sensibilities both reflect changes in values and encourage them. A shift in what people find desirable to own and use, like the one I describe, might seem radical or unlikely, but historically we have experienced similar conversions time and again. The shift to mass production and consumer society over a century ago, rooted in a new appreciation of machines and the machine-made, was as complete as it was unanticipated. At the same time it has never gone unquestioned, and handmade, locally produced items have never entirely disappeared. Most of us bought in to the mass-production aesthetic long ago, even if we are barely aware of it. Cars, iPods, furniture, appliances, kitchenware, tools, bathrooms -- none of them would look the way they do if what was once called the "machine aesthetic" had not been rendered approachable and familiar by good designers during the last century. Those designers cribbed a lot of their best looks from traditional Japanese design.

Those who know the story of the emergence of Modernism in art and design know that when Japan opened itself to the world in 1868, creators of every stripe in the West were stunned by what they saw, and every artistic field absorbed Japanese influence, whether it was composition and color in the visual arts, low rooflines and open space in architecture, or structures made of simple, unadorned elements in furniture. True, there were a lot of lessons Western designers might have learned at the time from Japan but didn't, such as energy efficiency, design for reuse, and how to use enzyme-based biological processes such as the ones which make traditional lacquer and washi paper possible.

But it was the Japanese who first taught us how to see beauty in function. I would like to suggest that we are on the threshold of a new aesthetic shift fed by an altered awareness of our dependence on the environment and the importance of healing and preserving it that will permanently alter our sense of beauty. It might be going too far to call this an "Edo" aesthetic, but the values embodied in Edo culture will undoubtedly form a large part of its DNA.

TEACHINGS FROM THE ARCTURIAN MOTHERSHIP

 ~ LIVING MULTIPLE REALITIES ~ PART 2 ~ via Suzanne Lie ~

mothership.jpg
As channeled by Suzanne Lie PhD suzanneliephd.blogspot.co.uk
Mytre Speaks:
Gradually, the cloud of Akashic Records began to clear. We wondered if this clearing was because we were collecting the necessary information we needed for our Mission. It was when we touched the final energy pattern and found ourselves hovering over the beautiful, pristine planet of New Earth that I knew we had completed our history lessons from the past and were ready for the NOW.
However, the vision did not vanish, so we relaxed into the experience. Allow me to take a moment to explain how we “read” the Akashic Records. We opened the energy patterns of the Akashic Membrane. We always did this while holding hands and using our free hands to simultaneously touch the glimmering information pattern. Then, a scene instantly surrounded us. We could merely observe the scene and/or we could interact with it. This experience was very similar to entering a holographic program.
When we found ourselves in New Earth, we felt such joy and unconditional love that we could hardly contain it. Hence, we modulated our breathing to accept this higher frequency of reality. We had just come from experiencing Gaia’s many difficult years of tottering on the edge of survival. Then, to suddenly experience Her true Nature of SELF was overwhelming joyful.
It was with this brief experience that we were suddenly “logged out” of the Akashic reality and found ourselves in the Holosuite standing in front of our dearest friend, the Arcturian.
“I see that you enjoyed the end-goal of your Mission,” the Arcturian said with an energy that felt like a smile. I know that is a novel concept for a smile to have an energy field, but everything has an energy field – including smiles.
“Yes,” the Arcturian responded to my thoughts. “Everything does have an energy field. However, it is more correct to say that every manifestation has an energy field, as the energy precedes the creation. Therefore, let us begin our lessons by each of you feeling your own energy field.”
In response to the Arcturians request, Mytria and I released the hands that we had not even realized were tightly grasped together. When we did so, we instantly felt our energy field shift. We stepped apart a few paces so that we could focus on just our own energy field and discovered that we instantly felt like something, actually someone, was missing.
My old feeling of sorrow and guilt threatened to invade my heart again, and I felt a certain aloofness take me over. Once again, I was compensating for my loss with a low-grade anger that I had never realized I even had. I focused on understanding that hidden anger and discovered it was the mask for fear. As a warrior, fear needed to hidden by anger. I had not realized that I carried that habit into my daily life. Furthermore, I had not realized how frightening life was without my beloved by my side.
Mytria Speaks:
Mytre wanted me to speak of my experience, even though he could emphatically feel it. I too had to mask my anger that Mytre was taken from me just as I began labor with our daughter. We had had such deep intimacy in our Nature Home, and to have it suddenly taken away when I needed him so much, cut me to the core. I told myself again and again that he had to leave. My personal need for him was minute in comparison to the needs of our planet. Therefore, I had to stifle my true feelings, which created an invisible wall around me.
Only our daughter could penetrate that wall. In fact, she lived within it until she began to walk, which was amazingly soon. Then, I could only feel desolation and sorrow. All the grief of losing Mytre that I could not allow to surface while Alycia was in my aura came to the surface. Fortunately, the Priestesses of the Temple in which we lived all loved Alycia and wanted to share time with her. Thus my daughter was always loved and protected.
I realize that when I thought I had healed my sorrow, I had only covered it with dedication to purpose and I only allowed a few people admittance to my feelings. I was totally alone because I could not allow myself to feel how very much I missed Mytre. Fortunately, when I returned to our Nature Home and moved my life into the Core of the Mother, I began to heal. However, only my return to Mytre, my Divine Complement, could heal the wound of having, and then losing, that wonderful sense of completion.
Mytre Continues:
While Mytria was telling her story, I felt every one of her suppressed emotions, as well as my own guilt. However, I was able to work through the guilt quite quickly. This quick recovery gave me the confidence to allow all my emotions to come into my conscious awareness. With the return of Mytria’s unconditional love in my life, I was beginning to remember how to unconditionally love myself.
My thoughts were interrupted by the Arcturian saying: “Now that you have felt your energy when you are separated, allow your auras to expand until they overlap and flow into each other. Allow yourself to feel your two energy fields blend into one.”
Mytria and I stepped back together and resumed our pose of head to head, heart to heart and toe to toe. Instantly, we felt the bonding field of the unconditional love that we felt for each other. We both melted into the feeling, which amplified the energy field far beyond the confines of the Holosuite. We had been standing in this manner beyond time when the Arcturian joined our energy field.
“Within the deep love of your joint energy, I wish to give you each the memory of a Parallel Reality,” the Arcturian said telepathically.
Then the Arcturian softly touched me on my Third Eye. Instantly, I was swept away into the Parallel Reality in which I had chosen to leave Mytria in her Nature Retreat and returned to my duties as a Protector for our Pleiadian Colony. Therefore, in that reality Mytria and I only had a close encounter.
I made the choice to leave Mytria because I could not allow myself to follow my instincts and fall in love with her. Instead, I answered the call of what I had known as duty. By the time I actually met Mytria I had completely forgotten my encounter with her in the Womb of the Mother. In fact, I had forgotten all love and beauty in search of dedication and ambition. With that thought I jumped into the future in which I was an Admiral.
This life was not on a timeline that was preparing for our Ascension. It was not that that planet did not ascend because of my choice, but because I had left the stream of reality that was flowing towards Ascension. This stream of Parallel Reality was created when I left love. Hence, it was not a reality that was streaming into Ascension. Hence, I continually fought battle after battle. The only thing that changed was my military rank.
I was the same person as when I was young. I just had more responsibility and greater problems. I felt like as if I was a tool rather than a person. I had had many women, but nothing ever lasted or satisfied me for very long. I was very powerful and successful, but completely alone and devoid of love.
The Arcturian touched my forehead again, and I opened my eyes. I looked at Mytria and saw that she was crying. She had been there with me and felt my life without her. I threw my arms around her and hugged her so tightly that we could barely breathe. Then, my great warrior self began to cry like a baby while Mytria held and comforted me. I finally regained my composure, blinked my eyes and felt reborn.
Without a word, the Arcturian touched Mytria on her Third eye, and she went into a deep trance.
Mytria Speaks:
When the Arcturian touched my Third Eye I flashed into the Parallel Reality in which I did not let Mytre leave me to follow his military duty. We had just arrived at the Village from our Nature Home, and I had just started labor. I knew that he should follow his Commander, but I begged and pleaded for him to be with me, at least until the baby was born.
Finally, after many tears, he took me into the Temple and stayed with me during the birth of our child. However, he was not totally with me. Even while the baby was being born, he seemed distracted and a bit annoyed. I knew he was not annoyed with me. I was just a frightened woman having my first child. No, he was annoyed with himself because he had allowed me to convince him to abandon his duty.
He kept this energy field for the entire time we were together, which was until Alycia began to walk. I could no longer keep him from his responsibility, and frankly, I was tired of his halfway attempt at being loving. I had held onto him and played every guilt trick I had to keep him with me. However, we never returned to our deep intimacy again. I had not respected his Soul, and he could no longer trust me.
He started to stay out late and see other women. Finally, when he had another opportunity to go into battle, he welcomed it. So did I. Meanwhile, our society was falling apart. The temporary energy shield that the Arcturians had given us was starting to collapse. The Arcturians had created this field to stave off the Draconians until we could transmute our reality into the fifth dimension.
Because I had made a selfish and frightened choice, I had moved into a Parallel Reality in which selfishness and fear ruled our world. I knew that we would all die, or worse. There was nothing I could do. I had chosen to be so weak that I could not get by on my own and was left alone with that weakness.
When the Arcturian again touched my forehead, I collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand. Mytre lifted me up onto my feet, put his hands on my face and looked into my eyes as he said:
“That is NOT you. That was a reality in which you left your SELF. YOU did not choose that reality in this life. Instead, you have remained the incredibly strong and powerful person that you were when we first met. Since then, my beloved, you have grown from a courageous young woman into a High Priestess of the Sacred Fire. I am honored to be your Mate.”
I did not cry. Through Mytre I could feel who I truly had become. Through his eyes I could see the courage and dedication that I had never recognized within my self.
The Arcturian Speaks:
Do you both see how a Parallel Reality sprung up when you made the “either/or” decision of leaving or staying? In the Parallel Realities you just viewed, you made different decisions than in this life, which bi-located you into a slightly different timeline. People can also chose a timeline that moves them into a happier and more fulfilling Parallel Life.
A tree has many limbs. Some of these limbs are strong enough to survive any storm, yet some of the limbs will fall away from the trunk. Your Soul creates and chooses many Parallel Realities to give itself the greatest variety of experiences. Each Parallel Reality is created when you make a life-changing, either/or decision.
On the other hand, in Alternate Realities, you chose to express different components of your complex persona so that you can live many versions of your Self in one timeline. For example, in one of Mytre’s many Alternate Realities he is an artist and in another he is a healer. In one of Mytria’s Alternate Realities she is a warrior and in another reality she is a wife with eight children.
When you place your primary Point of Perception within a fifth dimensional expression of your Multidimensional SELF, you can view and/or experience all your Parallel and Alternate Realities within the NOW of the ONE. You enter into these realities, just as you entered into the Akashic Records. Do you have any questions for me?
Mytre Speaks:
Of course, the Arcturian knew that we would say no, but It was giving us a chance to transition from our former emotional states into the Flow of life on the Motherships. As the Arcturian expected, we both shook our head NO. Instantly, we were beamed into our Quarters. We went straight to bed and we fell into a deep sleep.

Beloved Family of Light, so your Earth has successfully navigated the 2012 Stargate and become a Multi-Dimensional Star/Planetary Being!  You have Reconnected with the Sun/Solaris and with the Galactic Center, and with your Cosmic Light Body!  This is indeed a Great Achievement!

But, many will say it seems as though nothing has changed!  Many were expecting chaos, disaster, traumatic shifts or miracles in December 2012.  But, as We have said for many years, the process of Ending and Beginning was just that....a Process.....that culminated on the 21st December 2012.  And the purpose of that Process was that the Shift should be as Graceful and as Trauma-free as possible.   It was something to celebrate rather than something to fear.  It was not a time of judgment, but a time of Renewal and Rebirthing.

So, now that the Processes is complete and you have entered this Multi-Dimensional Space, you may ask "What Now?".  Maybe you are just a little disappointed because things seem so much the "same" and all your problems have not been miraculously solved in an instant.  But, Beloved Ones, the purpose of the Shift was alwaysd to allow you to perceive your world and your Reality in a different way.

We know that you have understood that you "create your own reality", but we wish you to comprehend fully what this means for you at this time.  You were born into an Earth Reality that focussed only on the Third Dimension of Consciousness.  It was limited by this and your lives were limited by what was possible in this Dimension.  As a result, you created a culture based on limitation, on lack and fear.  You allowed your fears to control and dominate your lives and you imprisoned yourselves in mental conflicts and systems, and you imagined that you could not escape.

Then, as you awakened to Higher Dimensions, you flowed with this awakening into the Fifth Dimension of Consciousness and you freed yourselves from limitation and opened to the infinite possibilities of the New Reality and its Multi-Dimensional nature.  You were no longer a victim trapped in Time and Space, but an Infinite Being of Light incarnated in Human Form as a Human Angel.

This is where you are now, Beloved Ones.  You have embraced your True Nature and recognized that your work is to Create a New Reality in this New Earth.  Not to receive it ready made from Spirit, Beloveds, but to share in the ultimate adventure of Co-Creating it with Spirit in a Conscious way.  We know, as you know deep inside, that there is no problem that cannot be solved in this Infinite Realm of Possibility and Love and Compassion!

We know, as you know too, that to Create a New Reality means not to focus on the past and on old problems, old energies and old traumas, but to focus your energy on what you want to create Now and in the Future.

If you focus your energy on what is wrong, what is wounded, what is broken, then that is all that you will see, and that will fill your life bringing with it anxiety and stress. If you focus your energy on what you desire to Create, on Love and Harmony and Peace, then that is what you will Create and What will fill your life.  If you choose to Be the Peace and Harmony, and to Live that Peace and Harmony, then so it Will Be!

Beloved Ones, perhaps the greatest challenge facing you in 2013 is Living and Breathing the Truth of Who You Are and so Creating Peace and Harmony in your Lives!  It is not enough to simply talk about it, or meditate on it, it needs to be the reality that you are Creating and Living.

This requires total honesty about your Life and your Choices.  Are you living to the highest expression of your Soul in your every day Life?  In your Work?  In your Relationships?  Do you practise Integrity, Openess, and Generosity.  Do you treat yourself with Love and Respect so that you can also treat others this weay?  Do you focus on Love, Joy, Compassion and Gratitude on a daily basis?  Do you allow your Higher Self to guide you as you follow the flow of Divine Love and Abundance in your Life?

Do you truly allow Divine Light to Love You and Support You in this New Reality, or are you determined to hold onto the "old" you in the energies of anger, depression, and disempowered "victim"?

Beloved Ones, the Choice is Yours.  In this New Earth your Reality is determined always by your Choices!

Dancing the Dream

Beloved Ones, the way that you create a New Reality and a New Future is to "Dream" that reality into Manifestation.  Dreaming is not just a night time activity, but it is a conscious practice where you create a "daydream" that is a template for the expression of what you wish to create.  This "daydream" can be expressed in words, color, sound, dance, poetry....a myriad of ways!  In truth, you are All Stardancers of Light, moving through Time and Space....dancing your Reality into Being.   Becoming Conscious of this process allows you to be a Conscious Dreamer and Dancer, dancing the incoming energies into Light and Manifestation, rather then being knocked off balance every time there is an accelerated transmission of Light Codes and Information. Strive to be at the Still Point at the center of the Dance, where movement and non-movement become One in Perfect Balance...then you will feel the Light and Poise of the Stardancer in your Life!

As you dream your individual desires and intentions become part of the great Symphony of Creative Energies that are all weaving together into Manifestation.  In the Old Earth of the Third Dimension, where you were not Conscious Dreramers, you dreamed your fears and nightmares into manifestation as often as your love and joy.  Now, Beloveds, that you are awakened and Conscious Dreamers, choose to dance the Dream of Love and Peace into Reality.

Beloved Family of Light, in the Ancient cultures of Lemuria, Atlantis and Egypt, where there were advanced Beings who were able to connect with the Higher Dimensions, it was the Priests and Priestesses who held the Higher Frequencies in balance for the Community.  They did this by forming Sacred Communities and using their highly developed Skills and Talents to anchor the Energies and Light Codes into the Earth Plane.

In the New Earth it is You, as Family of Light, who must anchor these Higher Frequencies in your Lives and in your Bodies through your own Skills and Talents! And this is not just through Meditation and Healing, but also through Creativity, Joy and Dance!  The Priests and Priestesses of the Past were also Poets, Writers, Artists, Musicians, Singers and Dancers, who held the energies in what they created and in their performances within their communities.   Beloved Ones, we see you too learning how to dance and sing and create your Dreams into a New Reality!

Imagine....Create....Participate......these may be the Key Words for living in the New Multi-Dimensional Reality of Light!

Imagine

The act of Imagining is in fact the act of Creating another Reality.  In the past, "imagination" was understood as the ability to "make up" something that was not "real". So, an artist or writer could imagine an alternate reality, and a film director could visually create that reality so that it seemed absolutely real.  When an imagined Reality is presented as a Visual Story, it takes on an aspect of such veracity that it seems like a real, alternate world.  Gradually, you are beginning to understand the relationship between imagining and telling a story and creating Reality or Realities, for in truth there are always multiple Realities and Levels of Reality.  reality is never a Singular construct, but the shared construction or co-creation of many people dreaming and creating together.

Now perhaps you can see how your Earth Reality was initially created by the Elohim.  It was imagined into Form by the Creators of Form, the Elohim Angels, working according to the Light Codes and Impulses from the Divine Heart and Mind.  Over time, they were joined by many other Light Beings who came to join in the adventure of Creation in Time and Space, until the Earth became a wonderful Test Laboratory for different forms of Life and Co-Creation, all in accordance with the Divine Plan for life in the Galaxy.

So, Beloveds, do you see that you were never simply the passive "creations" of a more powerful Deity.  You yourselves were always a part of the Dream, the Creation, the great Act of Imagination.....both the Creators and the Created!  You are "Dreaming" and "Imagining" within the Dream.  You are empowered to Dream and Create and to Manifest the New Reality together.

Create

So you may ask...How do I create?  What do I need to know?

Firstly, you need to know yourself as you truly Are, as a powerful and empowered Creative being of Light.

Secondly, you need to Imagine and to Dream.  Imagine what you would like to Create amongst all the many possibilities, and Dream that into a Story. It is your Story and your Creation.  As you choose and create, your story will resonate with the stories of others, who have similar dreams and desires, and you will be drawn together to Create together.  But, you must be honest about what you want to create and what you desire.  If there are Inner Conflicts, then you will manifest a conflicted Reality.

And so, Beloved Ones, as the year unfolds, you will find yourselves being drawn to Dream and to Create with others.  It is a Time of Co-Creation.....You are never Alone!

Participate

In the New Earth, Beloved Ones, the easiest way to share dreams and creations is to Participate!

The New Earth is about Community and Participation.  It is about Co-Creation.  You cannot co-create in a vacuum.  You need to get out there and find the people who will Dream with you and Create with you.

In the past this Group energy was held in Temples and Sacred Sites.  In the New Earth, you hold this energy when you gather together to share, to meditate, to dance, to sing and to create.  You open Temporary Sacred Spaces that can energize Dreams into Manifestation.

Beloved Ones, know that wherever you Are is Sacred Space when you are Conscious and Awakened.  If you hold that Truth in your Heart and you come together as a Group with the Intention of holding Sacred Space, then you will ignite and ground the Energy of Creation and Manifestation through Divine Love and Divine Creative Intelligence.

Know, therefore, that there is really nothing to fix, heal or save, Beloveds.....just a New Reality waiting to be Dreamed and Danced into Manifestation.....A New Dream waiting to be Born!

We wish you an Abundant and Joyous Adventure in 2013!

Humanity’s   journey has been long and arduous, and although most of you have very little   sense of it, you are very close to awakening. Time is a strange concept and   yet it is an essential part of your illusory reality. It is one of its main   foundations, and the more you can focus on and live in the ever-present now   moment, the more effectively you can cooperate in dissolving time and the illusion.   As you know, you have never left your Father’s side, His eternal Presence,   and to awaken is simply to release yourselves from the bondage of time and   all the other unhappy aspects of the illusion in which you have seemingly   become ensnared.

You   have unlimited assistance available to you just for the asking whenever you   choose to pay full attention to the present moment, the only real time. For   much of your lives you are distracted by the “outside world” – other people,   places, activities, problems that absolutely insist that you pay attention –   when the “real world” is the one within. Not the one of anxieties, concerns,   suffering, and judgments, but the one of total peace and contentment that you   can access and enjoy when you cease striving to reason out solutions to the   many problems or issues which seem to define who you are or why you exist.

You   can only find yourselves by letting go of your logical mind and then allowing   the thoughts that come to mind to flow through without your engaging with them.   Doing that does bring a sense of relief and peace that you cannot find   anywhere else — a sense of space, of freedom, and of security, because you   are effectively floating in the arms of Love, in the Presence of God. This   kind of experience or brief awakening gives you the strength and courage to   face and learn the lessons with which the illusion continuously presents you.

You   do of course live and experience life in the illusion and so you do have to   deal with the issues and problems with which it presents you, but try to do   that in the moment instead of dwelling endlessly on issues which cannot be   resolved until some future event or time because you do not at present have   the necessary information. When you have the required information then the   issue can be resolved; until then enjoy the inspiring moments that life is   constantly offering you if you will open your eyes to see.

Life   lived to the fullest extent possible is inspiring, uplifting, and very   rewarding. Nevertheless, many times you switch off your awareness of it and   drift away into worry and anxiety about issues that, in the present moment,   you can do nothing about. Then life passes you by while you ignore it and you   fill your minds with trivia that cause you only pain and suffering. Yes, of course   you have all suffered, maybe you are suffering right now — but why? Are you,   in this moment, in pain. Yes, of course some of you are, but most of you are   not, and for those, your suffering is very likely self-imposed because you   are thinking or worrying about issues that in this moment you can do nothing   positive or meaningful to resolve, and you are missing the smile of an   infant, the beauty of falling snow and the peaceful contentment that   awareness of wonders like that provide.

I   am not disparaging or discounting the pain and suffering that many are truly   experiencing; I am just trying to draw your attention to things of beauty and   wonder that you miss when you let go of your awareness. Letting go of   awareness is shutting yourselves off from life and all the delights that it   offers in every moment. Even if you are in pain, the smile of a loved one or   the colors of a sunset can uplift you into a moment of rapture.

The   illusion wants your attention; in fact it demands your attention because it   relies on your attention to support and maintain it. If you can be in the   world but not of it, you relieve yourselves of an enormous burden because you   cease to feel responsible for correcting it, or for helping to destroy the   evil in it. Evil is a lack of love, it is an act of desperation by one or   numbers of people who feel lost, alone, unloved and unlovable, who, in great   suffering (often denied or deeply buried within them), try to escape from   themselves by ill-treating others. Of course it does not work, so they may   try harder until it becomes obsessive.

Sometimes   it becomes necessary to restrain or contain those who would hurt others; at   other times it is impossible because they apparently have power and authority   to inflict pain and punishment without restraint. But they can only be healed   by love. And if they are severely damaged it can take a very long time.

Everyone   on Earth is here to learn lessons personally selected or chosen, and to help   everyone else to see the illusion for what it is. There is really only one   lesson, despite the innumerable forms in which it can be and is presented,   and that is to accept the Love that your Father offers you constantly, and to   be a channel, a conduit through which that Love passes to all with whom you interact   so that a spontaneous and constant flow of Love envelops and embraces you   all.

Free   will can seem at times like a spanner in the works because it allows you to   reject Love, to hide from It, to refuse to believe that such a thing exists.   But It is all that exists; It is the flow of God amongst his beloved   children, seeking only to embrace them and see them peaceful, content, and   happy, always. Yes, Love is the lesson, and all will learn it. However, free   will allows each to decide when the moment is right, and, notwithstanding the   denial of Love to which many have attached themselves, there will come a   moment when even the most ardent refuseniks will open themselves to the Love   that constantly surrounds them.
  All are saved and will return Home — it is just a question of timing. Open   yourselves to Love now, in this very moment, if you have not already done so,   because further delay is most definitely not in your best interest,   especially when you consider that there is nothing else, only nothingness, illusion,   whereas Love is everything.

With   so very much love, Saul.

Feeling Joy in Sadness

Went through yet another incredibly tough emotional release today.(In fact kinda still going through it in a way.)You know the type of release I mean.It's like a hand reaching within my self and pulling all the emotion out...the guts of the emotions even...Deep stuff.Old stuff.Not me stuff any longer.Afterwards I realized that crying makes me happy now,in a weird way.For when I cry, I know I am releasing old baggage, that which cannot go with me.That which no longer serves my highest good.And when I release it, it leaves a space within me.And I want that space to be filled with love.More Light.I want to take love with me where I go.Instead of the old baggage.So even though I was crying my eyes out, and feeling such deep sadness,I was happy too because I knew that is what I am doing.It was kinda weird, have to admit...I was making room for new and improved luggage within me.And what better traveling companion, than the company of love?So next time you find yourself releasing emotional baggage, and feeling the sadness, or anger, or even hate...remember what will take the place of what you are letting go...more love and more light.More connection to your Source.Making it easier to stay in the flow of the energies which are pummeling many right now.We will get through this.I know it......And I feel it in my heart.Makes for a nice combination.In light and loveMarie

If it's to be, it's up to Me

If it's to be, it's up to Me


It comes from within to change your life!

BY: Lee Papier

Whatever you want in life, it starts with you.


Nothing external affects you unless you choose to let it.


We are blessed with the freedom of choice and the co-creative ability.


Before we see something on the outside, we have to create it on the inside.


The inner-self creates the realities and outcomes that we have in the physical world.


So what are your belief systems, thoughts, feelings and vision?


Whatever you consistently focus on is what you create in your world and outcomes.


So if you want to change your results in life, it starts with your inner beliefs and values.


Do you focus on positive acknowledgements about yourself?


Do you consistently focus on positive outcomes and possibilities for your life?


Do you do this for others?


This is the only way to transform your life.


You must create a positive self image, have positive self talk and positive thoughts, which creates positive feelings and leads to positive actions and outcomes.


It takes the same amount of energy to be positive as it does to be negative.


The difference in quality of life, attitude, health, relationships and success is HUGE!


‘The quality of my life is directly related to the quality of my communication with myself and with others.’


Everything starts with you. You are the source of your life.


To expect things to change on the outside, without changing things on the inside is insanity.


‘For things to change, I must change.’


You always have what you truly want.


When you really want something you do not stop until you have it.


Any ‘story or belief‘ that people, situations or things hold you back are self imposed limitations and delusions.


All the blessings of life are available to us this very moment, right here, right now.


The choice of how good we choose to make our lives is up to us.


‘If it’s to be, it’s up to me!‘


Make your life a masterpiece.

Practicing Acceptance


Which is harder: Accepting the situation you are in, or fighting it?


BY: Brandi-Ann Uyemura

I think one of the greatest obstacles we grapple with is learning how to accept what is instead of moaning and groaning about what we don’t have.
It’s like we’re sitting there one hand full of riches and the other hand open full of potential. But we don’t see it. Nope. We’re too focused on the fact that the other hand is empty and not filled yet.
“Why oh why is it not filled yet?,” we ask.
It causes us to transform back into our 2-year-old selves, throwing punches to the air, crying out for all the things we deserve to have, but don’t. Praying about how much we need it, how much better our lives would be with it. And there we are so focused on our poor, wounded souls that we neglect the jewels that fill us, surround us and already make us whole.
If you ever need to be reminded of that, check in with your nearest and dearest furry child. Notice how they seem utterly forgetful about all the mishaps you do. Analyze how a mere treat, a pet on the head or a cuddle could make them silly with joy. See how they seem to pass up the chance to moan about their loss sibling that you had to adopt them away from or the fact that they don’t have a mate, kids or even anyone that even slightly resembles them. They just move on.
Accepting your situation can feel hard. It can be like welcoming an uninvited guest or settling for less.
But it’s not.
Learning how to accept whatever you’re going through and wherever you are is a gift.
It’s about returning to a state of vulnerability in realizing you have less control over life than you think. And that is okay.
It’s about loosening your grip over the outcome and opening your heart up to possibility instead of forced intention.
It’s about seeing your life as a large red carpet unfolding in front of you instead of a predetermined path.
It’s about releasing the rigidity of adulthood that sometimes tricks us into believing we know everything.
It’s a lesson in gratitude for what you have instead of what you still haven’t received.
It’s a muscle being flexed to exercise resiliency.
It’s a reminder that the events of your life ebbs and flows like waves. No matter what you’re going through it will not always be this way.
More importantly, it’s about relinquishing the need to know what’s next. It’s about continuing to relax and release when we feel the need to grasp on harder. It’s about giving up our ego and just letting things be.
Acceptance isn’t easy.
But if we let go into the wave of difficulty rather than force our way through it, we will find the ride much easier. And almost always it will take our breath away.
Make sure to follow Brandi-Ann Uyemura's Happy Haven blog!

One February Morning in Vietnam

One February Morning in Vietnam
by Eugene Hilderbrandt


It was another morning in Chu Lai, Vietnam -- a large and ugly army base where I was. One February morning, as I avoided the mud puddles in my morning duty, I found myself standing on top of a drive-up ramp.


Looking through the mists toward distant purple mountains, I suddenly became aware that I WAS those mountains and they were me. The now perfect little mud puddles were as much me as my fingers. The olive drab trucks, the concertina wire, the things that had always possessed a negative connotation in my mind were simply ... man's folly!


Another GI, whom I barely knew, walked across the compound and I experienced a love beyond words for him, a realization that he was me wearing his own personal disguise. I was immersed in this joy that I had never even heard of -- no separation from anything or anyone, no judgment of the world around me. Later, when I attempted to explain what I'd experienced with words, the only word that came close was one-ness.


Less than 2 weeks later, I was at LZ Bronco and was looking through a meager dozen or so collection of books left by earlier tenants and I saw this curious title, "The Book ... on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are" by Alan Watts. When he began describing the experience I recently had, it triggered the experience again, only this time as I immediately tried to hold on to it, to keep it, it dissolved, like quick-silver through my fingers.


A few months later, as I prepared to return "to the world" -- America -- I thought, "Okay, I now know some important truths. Life will be easier, more simple." Instead, it has become more challenging than ever. But those experiences changed this Southern Baptist bred Okie for life. I am thankful every day for the grace that I received that February morning along with the realization that this beautiful state of being belongs to every single being of every color, culture or persuasion on earth.


Although I have pursued, even lusted after the Oneness experience I'd had, like a donkey chasing a carrot on a stick, I have slowly and painfully come to realize that only through knowing and then having the compassion to love myself just as I am and accepting completely this wonderfully terrible world just as it is, will I be able to open my heart to the state that is always there, that makes the pain and the fear of self-discovery so worth the journey I'm on.

Somebody Tagged Me!

Somebody Tagged Me!

"'What is it?' Sabrina asked. One glance inside and my suspicion was confirmed. Lying inside were 2 tupperware containers. I could not see their contents from my bird's eye view but I could see a fresh mango and a bag of chocolates peeking from the corner of the bag. And the incredible aroma had already permeated the front office area.

'Someone has tagged me with an anonymous act of kindness!' I replied with a smile and a shake of my head. The joy and gratitude that I was feeling must have been the same feeling that went through the people that we fed on Saturday's Hear the Homeless event. It was the exact same thing. I was quietly going about my day when someone stopped me and made an offering to me, an offering from the heart." Katy Turse shares her real world story of receiving an unexpected act of kindness.

Somebody Tagged Me!
--by Katy Turse, Original Story, Sep 26, 2012


"Katy, please come to the front desk. Katy, you have a package at the front desk."

Immediately my sensors were on. Package? Why do I have a package at work? Did I order something? Did my mom send me something? Maybe it's from one of my clients. They might have mailed their paperwork in using priority mail.

But they wouldn't have called me over the intercom. Hmmmm, a package.

Wait a minute.........could it be........is it...did they....

As I approached the front desk Sabrina and Tatiana sat comfortably in their chairs in front of their computers. Nothing was out of the ordinary. They were focused on their tasks at hand and barely noticed me approaching, a smile already planted on my face.

"You called me?" I asked, somewhat suspiciously. For an instant I became unsure that there even was a package there waiting for me, maybe I was confused.

Sabrina turned to Tatiana. "Oh yeah, the doorman brought this up and told us to give it to you." As Tatiana pulled a brown paper bag from under her desk, straining from the weight of its' contents to pass it over her desk from her sitting position.

"What is it?" Sabrina asked.

One glance inside and my suspicion was confirmed. Lying inside were 2 tupperware containers. I could not see their contents from my bird's eye view but I could see a fresh mango and a bag of chocolates peeking from the corner of the bag. And the incredible aroma had already permeated the front office area.

"Someone has tagged me with an anonymous act of kindness." I replied with a smile and a shake of my head.

I rounded the corner, while dipping my hand into the bag. I lifted a round container full of fresh made Dal, finding underneath an even larger container filled with warm aloo parathas (my favorite kind!!), rice, and yogurt. In a smaller tub was the perfect amount of pickled mango. Mmmmmmmmmmm!! I set the bag down and saw an envelope amongst the Tupperware. Inside was a beautiful card with pressed flowers on the top. Inside read, "They say the world is round. What we send out eventually finds its way back home." Within that same envelope, a Smile card.

I had to swallow about three times as I stared at this card. My heart was beating fast and my body was electric with the shower of warmth that seemed to just pour through this card into my hands, throughout the rest of my body. I could do nothing but shake my head and smile, trying not to cry.

As Sujatha and I sat eating this amazingly delicious food an intense realization came over me. The joy and gratitude that I was feeling must have been the same feeling that went through the people that we fed on Saturday's Hear the Homeless event!! It was the exact same thing. I was quietly going about my day when someone stopped me and made an offering to me, an offering from the heart that I was 100% not expecting. I sat wondering who had done this and why, marvelling at the time and care that they took to provide such a healthy, delicious, well balanced meal. I stared at the careful packaging. I thought about how amazing it was that someone took time out of their day just to do this one thing for me, this one simple thing that had so many layers of meaning and depth. I recognized how much this one gesture meant to me and how much it brightened my day. It made me feel loved, it made me feel that someone (or some people) really cared about me enough to go out of their way to provide me with something as simple as a delicious lunch.

I know I felt deeply about sharing lunches with the homeless on Saturday. I enjoyed it, I experienced a lot, I witnessed people (myself included) take away lessons that will be with them for the rest of their lives, I watched them transform fears and doubts, I observed the smiles that erupted from the heart onto the faces of everyone, those being fed and those feeding. It was very meaningful to me. However, being here today, receiving this meal, enjoying it with a friend, I became one of those people. I was in their shoes and I believe I felt how they must have; it suddenly all came together for me.

I cannot express to you what I feel. I am not sad yet their is something so strong in my heart that I feel like I must cry. I am so grateful. I am so inspired. I am so contented and so joyful. I am so so lucky.

Thank you. Thank you not only for this lunch, but for this lesson. It is more meaningful to me than I could have ever possibly imagined.

Be The Change
"The whole process of life is a giving. It is a transaction. In every giving there is a taking." A thoughtful reflection follows.

Make Your Life Into a Giving
--by Jaggi Vasudeva (Dec 27, 2011)

Make your life into a giving. When I say a giving, it is not to be understood as an act. Giving as an act is a deception because, after all, what can you give? Everything that we have, including this body, we have taken from this planet. What we can give is only a paltry part of what we have taken. Giving as an act could be very deceptive and could turn ugly, but if your way of being is giving and your actions are only a manifestation of that, when you open your heart to give, grace invariably seeps in. That is inevitable.


It has been my fortune and privilege that at a very early age, I became witness to a certain state of giving -- my great grandmother who lived to be 113 years of age. In the morning, if she was given breakfast, she would always go about giving away at least two-thirds of it to the ants, birds and squirrels, particularly to the ants. People would say, ‘She is throwing all her food around, this old woman will die without eating,' but they all died while she lived. There were many days where I saw her with a little bit of breakfast that was left on her plate. She would simply sit there, watching the ants eat. Tears would be streaking down her cheeks and when somebody asked, ‘Won't you eat?’ she would say, ‘I'm full. I'm already full.’ It was many years later that I realized her way of transacting with the world. If the ants ate, she was being nourished. A logical mind would never understand this, but it was this nourishment which gave her an extraordinary longevity.


Each of us can also make every act and every breath into a process of giving – seeing how we can contribute to everything around us, no matter what we are doing. In just 24 hours, we will be so rich that the experience of life, the beauty of life, will set a glow on our face because that is the only way life functions. The whole process of life is a giving. It is a transaction. In every giving there is a taking. We are taking more than we are giving, but in your mind, just ignore the taking. You just keep giving because you do not have to take; it will be pushed into you.


There was a man who cleared one hundred acres of forest and made it into farmland. His two sons helped him and they became prosperous. When the man was dying, he called his two sons and told them that the land should never be divided, but the produce should be taken equally, fifty percent, by each son.


Accordingly, they went by their father’s word. One of the brothers got married and had five children. The other one never got married. Life went on and they each took fifty percent. One day, a thought entered the mind of the brother who had a wife and five children: "I'm getting fifty percent; my brother is also getting fifty percent. But I have a wife and five children while my brother has nobody. When he gets old, who will take care of him? He should have a little more than me because I have the wealth of my children. But he is too proud; he will not take it from me." So in the dark of the night, he carried a bagful of grain quietly and walked into his brother’s store, dropped this bag and walked back. Whenever he could, he went on doing this.


The same thought also entered his brother's mind. He thought, "I am alone, my brother has five children to feed and I am getting fifty percent, but if I give him extra, he will not take it." So he started doing the same thing at night. This went on for many years and both of them never noticed. One night, both of the brothers carrying sacks of grains in secrecy walked towards each other's storehouse and came face to face. Suddenly, they realized what was happening.

A Humorous Look at Aging

A Humorous Look at Aging


Daily Inspiration


By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, Lifescript Personal Coach


After a rather intense workout on the tennis court the other day, my hitting partner looked at me in breathless frustration and said, “This was a lot easier a few years ago!”

I grinned and nodded in agreement, as we both let out a chuckle. I think the uncomfortable laugh was an attempt by both of us to mask and cushion the brutal reality of his statement. I’ve been hitting tennis balls for most of my life and it was definitely a lot easier a few years ago.

After leaving the court I began to think about the process of growing older and how we all deal with aging differently. Of course, how healthy you are as you age will make a significant difference in how you feel about this inevitable aspect of the life cycle. Even though most people tend to hate the thought of growing old, it definitely beats the alternative.

With that said, I’d like to take a comical walk through the process of aging by sharing with you some funny quotes (from here and here) about this whole adventure of maturation:

You Know You’re Getting Old When:
Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
It takes twice as long to look half as good.
You and your teeth don't sleep together.
Your address book has mostly names that start with... Dr.
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

I also ran across a funny piece that broke down the human lifespan into four primary stages of development. Even though I’ve never seen these four stages in any psychology textbooks, I thought they were both perfectly descriptive and easy to identify with.

Since living a long life is truly a precious gift, it’s only appropriate that we use Santa as our gift-giving example. According to the Santa Claus Theory of human development, these are the four stages of life:

Stage 1: You believe in Santa Claus
Stage 2: You don't believe in Santa Claus
Stage 3: You are Santa Claus
Stage 4: You look like Santa Claus

Finally, there are three quotes that I’d like to share with you about the process of aging that seem to offer up the perfect balance of humor and serious food for thought.

The first quote is by Victor Hugo and is a great example showing clearly the power found in your ability to mentally reframe things like aging: “Forty is the old age of youth, fifty the youth of old age!”

The second quote gets to the heart of what makes someone old or youthful in both mind and spirit: “How old would you think you were if you didn’t know how old you are?” This quote speaks to something in psychology called Subjective Experience and is intimately tied to how you see yourself and the world inside your head.

At the end of the day, however, there is nothing we can do to stop this relentless human progression called aging. Even though you can certainly slow it down by living a healthy life, eventually our bodies break down over time just as our automobiles do.

Our minds through our subjective experience, however, have the ability to resist aging because they don’t have to abide by Mother Nature’s laws of physical deterioration.

So the third and final quote I wanted to share with you states: "You’re only as old as you feel!"

Wishing You Great Health,
Dr. John H. Sklare

Symptoms of Energy Shifts


As we are heading into the Age of Aquarius, new energies are encompassing our bodies and are reflected in various physiological symptoms. Within this transition of the ages, many people will begin to feel many of these energy shift symptoms on a regular basis as our bodies are adjusting and upgrading to the higher frequencies.

HEADACHES: When the crown chakra opens or expands it can be an intense and painful experience. It might feel like a spike or rod is being inserted. Headaches are common and they can range from migraines, to cluster headaches. Women seem to experience them more than men. They can be caused by too much energy flowing through the crown chakra, and by hormonal changes which occurs when the chakras are stimulated. Sometimes the pain can be eased by asking Spirit and your Higher Self to make an adjustment in the energy flow. When you ask for aid to ease the pain and it is part of the process that is opening and expanding your pineal or pituitary gland, the pain will only lessen. As your vibrational rate increases, the pineal and the pituitary glands expand to accommodate the higher energy frequencies. Other glands change also, but these two are the major ones that contribute to headaches. This can last a few months, or a few years depending on what level of spiritual development that you are at and your rate of growth.

FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS: This is quite common and part of the process. Just ride it out and don’t take antibiotics which will only prolong the process. These symptoms are caused by the physical body reaction to the toxins that are released when the chakras begin to expand. What ever was constricting or congesting the chakras is flushed through the blood. Also new beliefs and paradigms are enacted the imprinted consciousness in the blood becomes toxic to the physical system because it does not support the new thoughts and contributes to confusion. It is helpful to supplement the body with blood fortifying enzymes, herbs and essential oils to ease the symptoms. Hot lemon drinks will also help cleanse the body. Don't work too much during this time, because you are going through a major shift in vibration. Try and take it easy, and it will pass.

MUSCLE ACHES AND JOINT PAIN: Increasing your vibration forces the energy through the body. When there are blockages impeding the energy flow this raised and forced energy slams into them causing these symptoms and ails. Often this is alleviated by asking for assistance from the Higher Self to adjust the flow to ease the pain. The body can quickly adjust to the higher vibration in a few moments, hours, or days.

DEPRESSION: A very common symptom caused by an increased rate of vibration. This higher frequency forces any illnesses, viruses, or infections hiding in the body to surface. To discover the root-cause contributing to this state examine your beliefs and decisions that are creating your reality. It is also important to monitor your internal dialogue to learn what you are creating for yourself. Observing and realizing the state you are experiencing is not cause by the present allows it to quickly pass. The herb "St. Johns Wart" eases depression and is anti-viral too.

CRYING FOR NO REASON, FEELING EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE: When blockages from this lifetime, and other lifetimes began to release the emotional body will react in this manner. The Photon Belt energy stimulates and contributes to the spontaneous release of these burdens. Trying to control or resists these urges further represses and blocks the energy making things more difficult. Crying, moaning, sobbing or toning becomes a cleansing release. Use a Bach flower remedy, or an essential oil to help with the emotional body.

EXTREME TIREDNESS: Waking in the morning and struggle to get out of bed after a full night of sleep, or falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon is common. This is caused when the energy is shifting throughout the whole spiritual body. This will pass in time, each person has a different time frame for some it can be weeks, for others months, for others years. If you can create a pyramid structure to sit under this will give you wonderful boosts of energy when you are lacking it. Drink lots of pure water to hydrate the cells, add crystals to energize the water. Eat light meals with organic veggies. Doing light physical exercise will stimulate the energy flow through the body. Bach remedies, flower essences and essential oils will also help the transition.

LOSING YOUR MEMORY OR FEELING SPACEY: This can be a frightening experience because you cannot remember what you had for dinner, and dinner was only an hour away. YOU ARE NOT LOSING YOUR MEMORY. You are changing over from left brain function to more of a right brain function. Areas of the brain are being activated to cope with the higher energy coming in. Sometimes it is hard to speak, words come out jumbled or garbled, this situation will pass, there is no time limit on this.

EXTREME SENSITIVITY: As you open up to the higher vibration, you will find yourself becoming extremely sensitive to people, noises, light, smells, tastes, all sorts of things. This can affect the central nervous system and can be quite a difficult thing to cope with. You do need to take B vitamins and a multi vitamin if this is happening to you. If you are allergic to these vitamins then look for a homeopathic remedy or a Bach flower remedy for extreme sensitivity.

BLOWING LIGHT BULBS AND ELECTRONICS: If this is happening to you, then you are really reaching a very high vibratory rate and will probably be a profound healer or channel for spirit. It is due to extremely high energy coming into the physical form. It could be described as 50,000 volts of electricity coming in at once, not only can the body not cope, but it goes through the body and out again and as it does so it affects all electronic equipment.

ANIMAL REACTIONS: You will find that dogs and cats and other animals will become aware of your energy and be frightened of it or want to be around it all the time. Many animals can't get enough of the energy. Others are somewhat frightened because they do not understand it.

FOOD CHANGES: As you vibrate higher, you will find that you no longer want the things that you used to. Coffee, tea and meat are just three of the dietary changes that people make as they begin to vibrate faster. Meat is especially dense and can really affect the body's energy, especially if it has hormones in it. You may develop cravings for certain foods, or go off your favorite foods. This is normal and a part of the change to the higher vibration. If you find this happening, then let it happen and explore the new possibilities.

Subject: time-collapse period.


a series of time collapse points goes into effect in the run-up to the end of your Gregorian year. These time-collapse points represent the juncture at which alternative timelines are integrated into your present ascending reality, because this is the sole reality which is to go forward into 2013. This collapse process can cause fluctuations in the Earth field, causing imbalances to your physical bodies. Furthermore, this process reduces the alternative scenarios that the dark cabal has available to it to try to circumvent the divine plan. These collapses are being implemented by the galactic Time Lords in order to prepare your realm to gracefully enter this single new reality. These collapses can create various physical side effects in many of you, which will include headaches, pains in your neck and spine, and assorted aches in the muscles of your legs and arms. These discomforts are only temporary, but Heaven wishes us to slow down our work on your bodies to compensate for the extra physical stress upon you during this time-collapse period.

Dratzo!
We return with more to discuss with you. At present, your ongoing body ascension programs are being temporarily suspended by divine decree, while a series of time collapse points goes into effect in the run-up to the end of your Gregorian year. These time-collapse points represent the juncture at which alternative timelines are integrated into your present ascending reality, because this is the sole reality which is to go forward into 2013. This collapse process can cause fluctuations in the Earth field, causing imbalances to your physical bodies. Furthermore, this process reduces the alternative scenarios that the dark cabal has available to it to try to circumvent the divine plan. These collapses are being implemented by the galactic Time Lords in order to prepare your realm to gracefully enter this single new reality. These collapses can create various physical side effects in many of you, which will include headaches, pains in your neck and spine, and assorted aches in the muscles of your legs and arms. These discomforts are only temporary, but Heaven wishes us to slow down our work on your bodies to compensate for the extra physical stress upon you during this time-collapse period.
New social operating structures for this reality are starting to manifest but are not yet apparent to the uninformed. The more sensitive among you are sensing that 'something is in the air,' and this something is the setting-up of the new grids in your various local time dimensions which will precipitate your long-promised new reality. Our task is to safeguard these new structures and assist in their formal manifestation in your local reality grids. This operation is being given the highest priority.

 

We have watched the dark cabal try to dismiss these changes by use of special, esoteric weaponry given to them decades ago. We dismantled these devices, and by means of our counter-measures we rendered impotent their various mind-control and psychic mischief-making equipment. The dark ones are now in an even higher state of panic as they can see that special measures to further contain themare being prepared. This will begin shortly. Our primary goal is still to ensure that this reality possesses its new grids before late December of this Gregorian year, as these will enable the corresponding social operating structures to roll out smoothly.
This date in late December marks the moment when your world passes through a special point in its travels through this galaxy. Your sun, like all the stars in this galaxy, rotates around the galactic core and transits various points along the way. These points can be calculated by a formula that was given to the ancient Olmec over six thousand years ago by visitors from the Pleiades. These Pleiadean scientists bequeathed the Olmec Timekeepers with a means to begin a count which leads up to a grand shift in this reality. These sacred disciplines were passed on to other Timekeepers and became a most sacred part of the daily rituals of the Maya. In their honor, we have used this count to express the date for each of our messages to you. The moment chosen for the beginning of this shift is to be given to you shortly. The Andromedan and Pleiadean scientists, who are the prodigy of those who brought this knowledge to Earth, feel very honored that this sacred date is soon to be revealed to you.
The Gregorian year is to end just after this chronological and spiritual phenomenon happens. Very shortly afterwards, we have planned a series of events that will usher in a whole new physical reality for you, in which we intend to bring about full disclosure as well as proceed rapidly with the changes in the way your world operates. The dark cabal knows that its rule over your world is wearing thin and indeed, the collapse of your reality's old grids is fully underway. The replacement grids are in place and awaiting Heaven's manifestation of them. Meanwhile, our fleet is preparing in like manner the grids of all the other planets in your solar system for this grand shift. This time is extremely close.

We expect the dark to continue its charades until it is finally pushed from power. This, too, is close, and our liaison personnel are working with our allies to firm up the dates for this. We will talk further about this in future messages.

Blessings!

 
We are your Ascended Masters! We come today with more on what is happening. At present, your reality is continuing to topple. The grid points which hold the structural integrity of your reality together have begun to develop a new grid, and we are told that it is to come into being globally at any moment. This enables the dark ones to see that their secret technologies can no longer hold back the tide of change. The Holy Spirit has touched every part of this sacred orb, triggering a series of events that will ease us into a new reality. Time, as you experience it, is ever changing, producing wondrous effects upon the Sun and all her daughter worlds, and Gaia is no exception. You have all noticed the odd weather patterns caused by displaced jet streams, with huge amounts of precipitation and flash floods, and unaccustomed wind and weather phenomena everywhere. These all herald a new time for your realm - a moment when the dark is finally eclipsed by the Light!
All our associates are working toward the divine moment put forth by the decrees of Heaven. We watch the dark cabal trying desperately to seize the moment by creating a state of global chaos intended to somehow stem Heaven's divine tide. We comprehend the depth of desperation that has taken hold in the cabalists' mindset, as we see them scurrying around like mice on a sinking ship, seeking for ways to sneak onto a lifeboat of any sort, but all in vain. It is time for them to face the music and surrender to the piper of divine fate. The moment has come for each of them to 'let it all go,' and accept that they are part of an immense shift in consciousness that is washing with abandon into every nook and cranny of this precious globe.
We watch in joy as the various elements of this complex operation make their appearance and settle into position as if guided by an invisible hand. This setup is one that Heaven has spent many millennia bringing to you. The dark did not suspect that such an immense task was in store. Each decade we moved the process forward, using our intentions and our sacred rituals. Heaven, in turn, acknowledges our actions by showering ever-increasing blessings onto this work, intensifying the glory that is our truly divine world. We ask you to acknowledge Heaven with your special blessings whenever your meditate, pray, or present sacred ritual to the glory of the Light of eternal Creation.

We rejoice in what is happening around this world, and we thank the mercy and the divine grace of Heaven and the Creator!
Today, we continued our messages to you. We thank you for your support and for your wondrous prayers and meditations that are moving us forward swiftly to a new reality. The divine moment we have all waited for is upon us! We will shortly witness events that are to change your world positively and forever! Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

How to Be a Good Listener

How to Be a Good Listener


12 Ways to Listen Closely…and Kindly

By Lori Hope
A magnificent array of diverse and unique individuals populate this beautiful planet, but as different as we are, we share at least one fundamental need: to feel heard and understood. Most of us would like to think we can easily satisfy that need with our friends and loved ones, but we often fall short. I know I do. I learned that when I had cancer, and instead of finding open ears, I often encountered open mouths eager to spout advice or share stories. I saw myself in those people, and consequently set out to do unto others as I wished they had done unto me. I wrote a book fundamentally about listening, and I discovered along the way a huge bonus. I was not only a better friend, but I was able to attract new ones. So listen up – learn the art of listening – and feel the love!

 

First, Practice Actively
Listening well is an art – a skill honed by practice, study, and observation. And though it seems passive – after all, people talk TO us - it is indeed an activity and can require great effort. Seeing genuine listening to be active listening will prepare you for the immensely satisfying work it takes to really hear someone.

 

Open Your Eyes
Good listening isn’t just about ears, it’s about eyes. Maintain eye contact, and don’t give into the temptation to glance around. I’ll never forget meeting John Kennedy Jr. at a reception in New York, and noticing that while I spoke, his eyes never left mine, even though we were surrounded by luminaries. I felt like the most important person on Earth. Also, read the speaker’s body language; if their eyes are not meeting yours, they may feel uncomfortable or could be hiding something.

 

Move Your Body
When you’re truly engaged, your body reacts by leaning forward, and your pupils dilate. Though you can’t control your pupils, you can show you’re listening by moving your body instead of your mouth. Nod; move forward in your chair; and if you’re close enough, physically and emotionally, gently touch the speaker’s

 

Keep Your Mouth Closed
“Keep your ears and eyes open and your mouth shut!” commanded a boot camp officer in a documentary I made years ago. When I’m about to listen to a friend who needs to talk, I think of that or “You have two ears and one mouth; use them in that proportion,” and remind myself to count to at least two before speaking. (By the way, keeping your lips together still allows you to give that most vital vocal sign, a soft “mmm-hmmm” that shows you are listening.)

 

Forget Yourself
It’s natural to relate what someone else says to your own experience and respond without thinking (I sometimes call that “blurting”), but considerate listeners keep their focus on the speaker. Even though you may have something important to say, try not to worry about how wise, clever, or empathetic you’d like to appear. Just concentrate on the speaker, which belies your wisdom and compassion more than anything.

 

Don't Interrupt
As tempting as it is to interject your thoughts, hold back. It’s insulting to cut someone off when she’s voicing an opinion, but it’s even more hurtful when she’s sharing a feeling, especially a difficult one. When you interrupt, it can feel like a denial or discounting of your friend’s emotions.

Ascended Master Djwhal Khul 
As channeled by Julie Miller
Many thankful blessings from my own humble heart to all of you.
My dears, a solitary and intelligent consciousness is moving through the entire universe – what we are discussing today dear ones, is the Mind at the Universal level. The universally connected mind is ALL knowing, powerful, and creative and of course always present in the NOW. It is well understood that the Universal Mind currently exists everywhere; therefore it is also within each of you. Your precious mind at the universal level cannot be simply explained as a philosophical idea that has moved through many ages. The mind that functions at the universal level is one that understands scientific truth, identifies with this truth, believes in this scientific truth and has learned to assimilate this truth into every aspect of their lives. Yes dear ones it is a miraculous transformation when your journey brings you to such a propelling discovery of your Self.
One of the finest minds in your history of mystics and intelligence, Albert Einstein related more than once that humans are part of a WHOLE and that whole he was referring to was the Universe. There are other names to describe the mind at the universal level and sometimes you may hear the term, the Unified Field, Universal Consciousness, Cosmic Awareness, and we are positive more can be added to this list. Just as God is described by many names depending on how His energy resonates with you at the time. However you choose to relate to the Mind at the Universal level will still provide you with understandable conclusions regarding the quality as a whole that the only differences that may arise may be a varying degree of perception and opinion.
We encourage you to understand that the basic nature of the Mind that is Universally Whole is also considered as an Omniscience; which means it is ALL knowing, Omnipotence; which means ALLpowerful, Omnificence; which means ALL creative and Omnipresence; which means ALWAYS present. Realizing that this is also your own natural way of being, you gain entry to ALL knowledge that is either known or unknown. You have the ability within the Universal Mind to access infinite because nothing is impossible any longer – all is possible. You begin to applying the unlimited creative energy as a co-creator being and all the divine traits and values that are brilliantly within each of you become present and illuminate their potential in all possible outcomes and in all possible forms.
Each of you has the Choice and Free Will to act upon your own personal nature. It is vital dear ones that you take the time to know yourself from the inside out. Once you have mastered yourself in all your intricacies, then the mysteries that have surrounded you become understandable. As you master yourself dear ones you tap into the unlimited power of your subconscious mind and of your higher self. As you climb into higher realms of consciousness you will learn to align yourself perfectly with the Omnipotence, Omnificence, and Omniscience of your mind at the Universal Level at all times.
You are urged to comprehend that each of you is a pure manifestation of a solitary and Universal Consciousness – the profoundness of YOU are ALL One is not only directed to each human that you share this Earth with, but with ALL of nature and to ALL that is within the mighty Universe. Remember dear ones what you do to another is what you do to yourself; the way you regard nature, is a reflection of how you regard yourself – this is the basic understanding of the Law of One. See not just with your eyes, but with your heart and your soul that any separateness you think you are seeing is truly an illusion of the nature of your Ego.  The natural environment of reality dear ones is non-dualistic which describes that what you see might look different, what you are seeing is not detached or separate.
Because each of you is already connected to everything you have the ability to create an ideal reality. There is no power that can separate you from yourself. You have the ability to know happiness, true real love, great health, copiousness, prosperity and anything else you intend that comes from the purity of your unconditional love that touches everything you do. Bring your Self into a frequency that vibrates harmony within the area where you wish to experience the creative power of your incredible thoughts. Understand dear ones it is essential to be the master of YOUR identity and you reach this achievement when you master your thoughts.
Take the time dear ones to comprehend what is YOUR truth. You will become the master of your own mind and through this mastery you will direct your life where you want it to go. Feel the incredulous nature of being connected to everything and everyone. YOU are already intertwined with what it is you want most in your heart. Your own consciousness is an essential contributor to the Universal Consciousness – take hold of your journey and drive your path and experience the many wonders that will greet you with many lessons that will enrich you further with much knowledge that will be turned over into wisdom after time has had a chance to heal any disharmony that may have been encountered. 
We understand not everyone is at the same place on their spiritual journey that is bringing wonderful and positive effects into all avenues of your life. Take the time to nurture each other through sharing and understanding, LISTEN with your heart and you will KNOW when to give or when to receive. Your journey is not a lonely one. There are many wonderful divine beings with you and many yet that are waiting to be asked to guide you. When you make a silent plea for guidance, one that comes from your heart, free of all Ego, that plea will be answered and you will receive the guidance, support and love you have requested assistance for. Be strong dear ones, your journey is a blessed one, rejoice and embrace all that comes your way.
I AM Ascended Master, Djwhal Khul through Julie Miller

Hilarion with Isis on Grounding

 

 

 

As channeled by Petra Margolis ascendedmasters.org Today we would like to talk about grounding as the being called Gaia has ascended and a new energy has been inserted within your earth. As has been talked about before, this is the time where you stand on your own two feet. Many are however still using the earth as their grounding point. We suggest you ground within the star just below your feet, as this star is part of your own grounding system. What are the benefits you might ask? The benefits are that you start to use your own energy flow system. Right now you are using the flow of energy within the earth. This flow has changed and the earth has become an energy system that is more contained. The benefits of using your own grounding and flow system are that balance is more easily reachable as you are not being influenced by energies outside of yourself. With the old grounding system, you were influenced by energies that were running through the earth, as most humans were grounding and are in fact still grounding within the earth, in this way you were also connected into the energies of other humans flowing through you. As you start to ground within your own energy system there will be no influence or/and energy of others within your own grounding system. This will also improve the flow within your own energy system as you are having more and higher frequency energies flowing through you. This is why we really want to emphasize the grounding within the star just beneath your own being, some call this the earth star. From one source to another Petra Margolis

2013: where soul meets body

Happy New Year! So not only did we make it to 2013… a very sacred, powerful, wildly creative, alchemical & transformative (13) year…but to a new (golden) world age. Tho its hard to wrap my head around what that means for me/you/us just yet, a congratulations is definitely in order. The full-on celebrations have not quite begun…we still have some denser-body integrating to do :( …but if you pay close attention, you can feel the party starting in your heart.

There is so much I could write about since my last report which was technically a month ago, yet feels like an entire lifetime ago…and for many, this is exactly true. We are literally now living an entirely new life since the soul merge that took place between the 12:12:12 and the 12:21, the sacred (re)union within us that I have referred to in the past as our “spiritual sweet-spot”, the marriage of the divine masculine/feminine forces…where spirit meets matter, where head meets heart, where soul meets body, where ascension occurs.

 

What Now?

The Pleiadians say that though we now have uninterrupted access to this exalted state of BEing, we of course still need to wait for our denser bodies (emotional/physical) to catch up…no surprise there. And this is what we are doing now during this transition period that will apparently be in effect until the March equinox. For those on this journey a long time, no doubt you are well versed in the process of integration…first, the arrival of a new vibration and the bliss that accompanies the enormous spiritual and mental body expansion. Then comes the emotional clearing (read: plummeting), and the physical mutation (read: pain) required to release any fear based programs/memories lodged in our lower bodies/cells.

The ongoing emotional clearing & physical mutation has been happening for many of us for multiple years, intensifying acutely in 1999, and (I am told) will complete in 2013 for a large percentage of those reading this. For some (especially indigos, bluerays & starseed walk-ins), honoring this transformation process translated into a prolonged period of solitude, and in some cases, isolation and even physical incapacitation so that the cellular changeover to our divine template could take place. And this was no joke…the heightened stimulation of the external world was so overwhelming to these sensitive souls that often the only choice was to stay in the self-created safe space of home…for years and years.

This process has been nothing short of  a g o n i z i n g  for those held captive within it, and no one but those going thru the intense metamorphosis/physical mutation can or will understand the journey to arrive here. Having said all that, the Pleiadian councils assure us that we are already beginning to turn our VERY inward journey, outward…that we have indeed “arrived”, even if it (temporarily) feels otherwise.

This is not the kind of arrived as in times past where we would come forth through a wave of clearing and land on new dimensional ground, but more of a vibrational homecoming, a completeness, a full (cellular) anchoring into whats true. Before now, we were slowly integrating each wave as it would wash over us in sometimes crippling ways, but I am reminded to let go of those “habits” now…that this is no longer a reality and things move much faster here.

Beginning with the winter solstice, each of us came “online” in an entirely new and unique way. This point of “arrival” is not the same for everyone, granted, but there is a similarity by which we will all be able to relate to…a shared connection to what’s true, a sense of heartfelt unity, the realization and actualization of uncompromised LOVE.

The unseens also mention that there are many of you reading this who are searching in earnest for the next step to your journey/purpose, feeling the urgency to move forward/make changes, but with NO IDEA what that means or how. They are making it very clear to me that this is not the time to do that…that the uncertainty that surrounds us now is all the clarity we need to truly honor the stillness.

The dust will settle and the clouds will clear as we get closer to the equinox, but in the meantime, this sacred passage is best utilized by feeling our way around and allowing our selves/lives to settle into our new grooves. This transition period is so essential and should be welcomed with open arms for soon we will not have the time, nor the interest in such introspection. We are being asked to cherish these final moments of non-action, to nurture the innocence of our newborn selves, and to utilize this time effectively to nourish our flesh and to embrace each moment of newness now that we are finding new parts of ourselves, in this very new space, and with such new perspective.

There will be so much for us to take in that the unseens implore us to spend our time/energy embracing this new level of attainment and slowly, intentionally, opening ourselves up to the heights of where this journey of LOVE will lead us. (Also worth mentioning that if you are having difficulty accessing your connection to Source during this time of recalibration, I am hearing that the period of disconnect will pass shortly and your woes will be abated.)

 ...[section protected, to purchase full article see below]...

 

What Next?

Directly following 12/21 we were given a glimpse into the new world that awaits us…and it was nothing short of miraculous.

We have entered into unity and downloaded the first waves of cosmic LOVE. Since that initial blast of LOVE, a lot of human heaviness has been kicked up all around us…the difference now is that we have a definite choice/ability to steer clear of it all.

These waves will come in succession and will wash over us revealing new layers of awakening, of opening…each with a specific resonance and attunement. Right now the waters are still muddy, but they will soon run clear and the council assures us that as we enter into this exalted state of human divinity, revelations will be our new normal.

We are clearly still in a holding pattern, and we will be for a bit longer as we make our physical transition. Since we are crossing over WITH our physical bodies, the process needs time…but with the option of full presence and the absence of past and future, somehow even this holding period is more bearable.

But what the Pleiadians want most for us to acknowledge during this time is that we are all emissaries of LOVE, warriors of the priesthood, and divine-galactic citizens of this planet and many star nations.

We have graduated from duality, walked in procession with our fellow initiates to join with each other in divine embrace while we received our diplomas. Now, with credentials in hand, we need to take the time to carefully decide what we will do with our hard-earned honors. The world awaits us, and…as we say goodbye to all life’s teachers and teachings and bless every intolerable hardship with gratitude….we are beginning to feel ready for it!

Goddess Light

   

With this channel, the Goddess brought us into a new era, a new energy, a new time. I felt as if the entire channel was different starting from the beginning. The energy has felt lighter, finer to me since mid-December and all the changes taking place with the Solstice and portal openings of 12-12-12. She taps into those experiences right at the beginning.

She then took us straight to the Crystalline Grid, rather than going through the magnetic grid. These have now blended with each other, so I could feel both, but it was predominantly the crystalline.

As we moved into the All That Is, the Goddess asked us to bring to mind what our intention was for 2013. She then said, take it all and let it go! The reason for this is because people still think of what they want in terms of what’s not working or what they’ve wanted for a long time. She wanted everyone to let that go so as to truly begin in a new way.

She then created a space where each person developed a new alignment with their angels, guides, ET or whatever came to them. As people were doing this, it became clear that what they connected to was an aspect of themselves from their I AM presence. People had the chance to discuss with them what they wanted, how they wanted to live their lives. For many people, their perception was completely different. This allowed them the chance to manifest change.

The Goddess then assisted in clearing people’s mental body, emotional and physical. This clearing was very deep and allowed the energies to realign with the higher vibrations. She also spoke of how to manifest this in our everyday lives. Once that was cleared she also specifically mentioned Karma and clearing that all the way back to its source.

Then in the end, rather than working with a hologram of the earth, she had everyone bring the energies directly back within themselves! This really was very powerful because it allowed everyone to have not only the direct link to their divinity, but the awareness of how close they are to the energies at all times. Then moving the energies through each person, they anchored into the earth once again grounding people.

This truly is a new year, a new energy, a new beginning.     

                   

Nama sika, Venia Benya I AM the one, I AM the whole

I greet your beloved family! I reach out to each one of you, inviting you to come here within this space. Inviting you to come, allow yourself to BE in this moment and allow yourself to have the energies of this experience.

This is the first channel of a new year. This is 2013 or twenty thirteen howsoever you may say it upon your earth. This is the year of continued change. You have done so much work throughout the last several years in preparation for these energies of the transformation that’s taking place.

You have done a lot of work. You have done many, many different things that have allowed you to experience your life on many different planes of existence. And so as we are beginning this New Year, let’s take it as an opportunity to really move into what this is going to mean for you.

Indeed, the potential is there that everything will continue on in the way that it’s been and no change will take place in your life. Indeed the potential is there that you can step into a new beginning; a new reality and you can allow that to more fully take place within you.

I am even closer to the earth than I have ever been before! You may feel my energies in and around you in a more consistent basis or perhaps a more frequent basis than you have in the past. This is a direct relation to the shift that took place during December.

I invite you to gather your energies. As you do so, allow those energies to once more breathe into your body, move down through you. Have a sense of reaching into the earth until you can feel that essence of Gaia and the essence of the earth.

Allow that to stream back up through you letting it anchor within your solar plexus or your abdomen. Then from there, let it stream upward, let it stream out until you find yourself in the space of the crystalline grid.

As you look around, allow yourself to open up and take in all that is here. As you allow your consciousness to expand, you may have a perception of colors, energies, crystals; it’s limitless. This crystalline grid is now fully integrated with the magnetic grid. So if you would like, you may even open up your energies and ask to feel that magnetic aspect that is here.

As you continue to look around, become aware of how this is a place in alignment with your higher self. This is a place that allows you to feel open that allows you to let go any restrictions of the earth.

Always before when we would make our stops within the magnetic grid and then the crystalline grid you had a sense of letting go of the magnetic pull of the earth and letting go of the earth itself so that you were much more fully present within this space. This is one of the changes that has taken place as a result of the ascension of the earth. It’s here, it’s present; it’s very close to you here in your everyday life. You need not go through a strenuous process. This is here in the space of your higher self.

I invite you to have a sense of allowing your energy to shift. Allow yourself to move out until you come into the space of the soul plane. This continues to be a place in which you have greater access to your I AM presence.

As you take it in, be open to become aware of your own divinity. You may have a sense of seeing this essence or this energy as something that comes from within you; it may come up from inside of you. Or you may have a sense of seeing it as if it’s walking towards you. As if it’s you, like seeing yourself walk towards you, but you are bigger, brighter, more filled with energy.

Allow yourself to merge, allow yourself to blend. Allow yourself to accept all of who you are as your divinity.

I the Goddess move through here. I move in and amongst each one of you. I reach out to embrace you. I reach out to connect with you. As I do so, we shift into the energy of the All That Is.

Feel this space. Look around. Allow yourself to open up all your senses so that you may be open to perceive all that is here. This too is undergoing a transition and it is a result of all the work that you have done. Look around; take in, take in whatever it is you may see, sense or feel is here.

As the earth has moved through this most latest transition it allowed the average person or the collective consciousness to move up into a higher plane of existence; a lighter, finer, different; howsoever you choose to perceive it. It was a shift that took place that has allowed humanity to continue through its own evolution of expanding into the next experience that the earth itself will receive.

As a result of that, it’s like a ripple effect that has taken place starting with the earth itself, moving through the dimensions and then moving out into the universe. There is a relationship between the earth and the stars and planets within the universe. Just as any other relationship that transitions over time, so too is this relationship transitioning.

You stand here in this moment with the ability to create whatever it is that you seek to have. We are all as a group creating a space of awareness that is the All That Is. This is a blend of the consciousness of everybody who’s here, the conciseness of the angels, the guides, the teachers, the light; the consciousness that streams in from the universe. It’s as if this is a way station or a place where people can meet, communicate and transition. This is happening even more so at this time and going forward.

I prefer not to place a specific number upon a dimension or a place of consciousness. Within every layer, there are multiple layers so that many, many people can find the alignment that works for them at wherever that may be.

I invite you to have a sense of recognizing that there is more of the universal energies available at this time. It’s available in and around you. It’s available to you upon the earth.

So let’s begin. Here you stand at the beginning of another year. What would you like to have in this year? It always makes me smile because I always hear from a number of people I want this, this, this, this. As if it’s the same things you’ve been seeking to manifest for a long time but have as yet, not arrived. So absolutely, you may keep them on your list because it is what it is, it is what you want.

But this is a new beginning in more ways than just the changing of a year. I would say to you, anything that was an automatic response, just pull that in. Bring it all in from every direction and just WHEW, let it go. Let it go, release it, and let go all the old stuck energy that may be associated with this.

How would it feel to have a completely clean slate? To have a place in which you didn’t need or want anything. You are completely fulfilled. You are completely satisfied. You have everything you ever desired; here, now in this moment.

I invite you to allow your energies to open and feel what that may be. As I look around, I see pulsations of energy and light. I see brilliant colors. I see people experiencing joy and contentment. This is the place for creating just such an experience.

So again, let go of old energy. Let go anything at all that may be hanging on to you or hanging over you. Take in a deep breath that allows you to open up to this moment; to open up to this new beginning. Now I see everybody shifting into a higher space.

Even if there’s a part of your analytical that might still be telling you that it’s all the same, I SEE that it is not. I SEE that you are transitioning. I SEE that you are opening up and bringing in all that is here.

Beloved, beloved family, I believe in you. You are most precious to me and I know that the changes you seek to have in your life are here. They are happening here in the All That Is and this can transition into your everyday reality.

You still have that sense of feeling that you have arrived or that you have what you’ve been seeking. Bring up that energy within you once more. Let the awareness flow through you and then be open to the subtle shifts that are taking place. You as your divinity is working with you as your personality creating subtle changes in your reality.

The angels, the guides, I myself are also working with your energies assisting you in this transformation.

I have a sense of inviting everyone to move over. As if you are moving to the side as if you are moving over to a new location within the All That Is so that you may even more fully let go of the past, let go that energy, let go what no longer is serving you.

I invite you to open up your consciousness and look around. There are energies of the ET’s that are coming here within this space as we speak. There are energies of other planets, energies of yourself in other existences that are coming here within this space right now. Have a sense of sitting down to talk with them, of embracing them.

Whatever it is that works for you; this is your time and opportunity to allow yourself to create a new realization or alignment.

For so many years, you would work with the angels, you would with I the Goddess, you would work with whomever it is you chose to work with. We in these energies could sometimes see things from a different perspective of you that would a transition to take place.

You going forward from here will have an even easier access to these energies so that you may make these changes within yourself with greater ease. That’s what you’re setting up this foundation for, right now.

Who is here with you? Who has some of the answers that you have been seeking? With whom would you like to create an alignment to assist you moving forward?

I facilitate the energies between you and whichever guides that may be. As I do so, it is also opening up the energies so that you have a broader, more direct link within your divinity and it will go into your everyday self.

As this is created, open up. There may be messages that you receive. Or there may be an energy of yourself that is ready to step forward and assist you in this next level of awareness.

As that bond is created, there is a flow of energy that not only opens up communication, it strengthens you, it empowers you with the knowledge and the awareness of who you are and what’s going on and how to truly manifest the life that you seek to have.

Come back around and I ask you, what you are seeking to manifest in this year of 2013, or whatever year it may end up being that you listen to this. I notice that there are no longer the people who immediately responses. I invite you to really take a moment and ask yourself; what is it that you truly want within your life?

As we speak of this, have a sense of conversing with that angel, or the aspect of yourself or the essence that you just created an alignment with. If you express what’s in your heart, they receive it, they work with your energy to clear things out if there’s anything that needs to be and then it flows back into you.

Be open to receive. Be open to accept whatever this transformation may be for you. Take in a deep breath and breathe out.

Is there something else that you’d like to consider within your life? What is most close to your heart? What is there that you either seek to transition out of or seek to bring in? You may find as I say transition out of, that you have already done so. But if there’s something in your mental body that still persists in telling you ‘It’s there, it’s there, it’s there’ work with that right now.

You feel your mental body. You feel your thoughts. Or you hear them? Or you see images of them.

We work with the focused intention that your mental body becomes cleared out. It cleans out the energy. WHEW It cleans out the old patterns. WHEW. It cleans out whatever has happened in the past but has not worked for you WHEW.

Now feel washing over as if it moves through your mind, as if it moves through your thoughts, as if it’s everything to do with your mental body. Feel that wash of energy that’s in balance and alignment with moving forward. This is that part of you that says ‘YES you can do it’ that says ‘YES this is a great opportunity’ that says ‘YES I AM that I AM and it’s enough’.

Look around. You may notice that a transformation just took place with that shift that has allowed you to be able to see things differently, perhaps more clearly; perhaps new opportunities.

You are still here in the All That Is. You still have your divinity or your guide or whomever with you. But notice how there is so much of you that is actually within the energy of that essence of you and this whole space that you have created for yourself.

Consider your emotional body. When I ask you about your emotions, what is the first thing that comes to your awareness? Is it an emotion that supports you? Is it an emotion that holds you back? What is it?

Are there certain emotions that you have you experienced throughout your life that you’ve released and then it comes back; release, return, release, return. So that it creates a pattern that holds you back over all. Feel the flow of energy as you go beneath. As you go below the emotions, you go to wherever the root may be and then WHEW, let it go.

As you let it go, you find that beneath it all is something new, something real. And I can feel in some of you an anxiety ‘is this really true? Is this going to happen? Is this the way this experience is going to be for me?’ YES it is.

Are there particular emotions that you have been reaching towards; happiness, contentment, excitement, self-love, love in general; the list is endless of what it may be. This is your opportunity as you are creating this new foundation to just gather in everything that you seek to have. Gather it in; allow it to move in and around you.

As you have already shifted your mental body, recognize that there is a new alignment or a new beginning that’s taking place between your thoughts, your beliefs and your emotions. This is creating a new foundation for you and a new beginning.

In some I’m sensing that these emotions of joy, happiness or contentment have been fleeting and have not been a permanent part of you. So this is an opportunity to amplify that by bringing it up within your consciousness, bring it into this space between your guides your higher self so that you are creating a reservoir or you’re creating a space that is filled with these emotions so that they are always there available for you.

We have a sense of seeing some people swimming in joy! Swimming in excitement! Swimming in a belief in themselves that YES you are making a change. YES it is permanent. And YES it is your everyday reality.

Consider your physical body. Is there is something going on within your physical body that is causing you to be unable to manifest what you seek to have? Is there a change taking place in your physical body that does not support you that you would like to let it go, release it, move away?

Here within the space of the All That Is, I invite you to gather up anything at all that has to do with your physical body; aches, pains, diseases; whatever it may be. Bring it into this pot that you’ve just been working with and WHEW, let it go. WHEW let it go.

Do you remember what it was like to have a body that worked for you? Where the muscles, the joints, the bones, where everything was pain free, where everything was filled with vitality and you had the ability to move in whatever way you desired. Bring that into this mix. Bring it into this moment and allow that flow to become a part of the whole.

Look around you. Look around at what you have created for yourself. Know that this is your new beginning. Know that this is and can be your reality in living your life upon the earth. And if you find that you wake up and it’s no longer like this, you reach up to this space and bring the essence and the energy of this down into the moment.

You know what it feels like now. You can view the thoughts, you can swim in the energy, your physical body is in support of you. Allow that to move through every bit of who you are so that even if you have an experience and you say ‘no, no, no I let this go, I’m bringing in something new’. You can once more face that experience and acknowledge, ‘this no longer works for me, this is what I’m choosing’. And you look in another direction, you can walk in another direction and you let go what no longer serves you or supports you.

There is such joy, such excitement here within the All That Is. Look around and become aware of how even more energies and light have come within this space because of all that you are doing. Some are the energies you guys have invited in; some are the energies who like to come here, in support of this.

Therefore, it will expand and become even bigger which in turn allows you to have access to even more than what you thought possible. YES this you. YES it’s a new beginning. YES it is closer than it’s ever been before.

I am hearing people ask about releasing Karma. Karma has different definitions to different people. What we will do is that I’m going to wash through the energy here just allowing it to kind of clear out any excess debris so that you can feel yourself in your space and all the transformation that you have just done.

Now if it makes it easier for you to consider it as a time line or if it makes it easier for you to just link with your divinity; I invite you to have a sense of bringing up the word karma and whatever it may mean to you.

I now invite you to have a sense of feeling a swirling energy as it goes around you, it moves down through your divinity or it goes down that time line. We send it swirling all the way into whatever the source of any part of what you’ve been experiencing has been. We go to that source, we release it, whew, and we let it go.

For some of you, it may be one it may be two. For others you, you may be a list because you like your lists! Whatever it is, if you need to go again and again and again, allow yourself to go as many times as you may need.

But I think if you go one time with the energy of intention that every bit of karma, on every single level before, after and in between; that it may go back to whatever its source it, you may acknowledge it and release it WHEW! Let it go, it’s done!

For many of you, I have a sense that that has only amplified your energies even more, having released karma in that way. For others of you, it’s as if it has opened up a door and now you can see what has always been here.

You are an old soul. You’ve lived out here in the universe; you’ve lived upon the earth. Some of you may be less associated with the earth. But you are still an evolved soul essence. You have the ability to acknowledge and remember whatever those past experiences may have been but they need not have any impact upon you in your lifetime. They are memories, they are thoughts, they are a part of your I AM presence, but they are not what controls you or creates your reality.

You are the creator of your reality and you are doing so in everything that’s happening this evening. You are creating a new beginning that is opening up at the beginning of this year. It consists of all these many changes that have done. It’s real and it’s YOU!

I’m noticing some people as if they’re saying they feel less pressure, less burden. Open up to feel what it would be like if every day you woke up and it was a brand new day, it was a new beginning and you had the opportunity to choose moment, by moment, by moment; not only how you would respond to whatever impact that would have upon you. Indeed, this is your new beginning.

I invite you to have a sense of allowing yourself to kind of bring your focus back within your consciousness.

With the transition that’s taken place, we no longer need to focus upon the hologram like we did before. The hologram was a place of transition that went from one dimension to another. Now with the opening that’s taken place, the flow of energy is so much closer and easier, that it need not be facilitated by the hologram any more.

So I invite you to take this moment and take a deep breath in, allowing your breathe to come within your consciousness and then have a sense of streaming that consciousness directly down into you in your physical reality. As you do so, you move through the grid work of the crystalline and the magnetic. This is where your higher self resides.

And then you move even further down into your physical reality. This stream of consciousness is a beam of light. It swirls within and around you, wherever you may be.

Take a deep breath in and feel that energy as it comes through you, and then send it down into the earth, send it all the way in until you anchor with those crystals that are within the earth. As you do so, it then flows back up and it creates a support around you. Send it into your neighborhood, your community, your work, your city, around the world, wherever you would like to go.

The majority of your divinity resides within the soul plane and the All That Is. But with this way of bringing that consciousness directly back within yourself, you can feel how close it really is. If you feel a need to do those stair steps, by all means, allow yourself to do so. [Referring to stopping in the crystalline grid and magnetic grid as your consciousness returns to your physical body.]

This is a part of the new beginning. This is a part of the way in which I assist you in knowing that your divinity is so very close to you. That all that you have done in the All That Is, is so very close to you. Allow yourself to relax back for a moment. Open up your consciousness as if you are looking towards the All That Is. Open and feel, see, sense, know whatever that experience was for you. And then it streams down, it streams down within you.

As you begin this New Year, as you move forward stepping into the reality of your everyday life, I invite you to do so as your divinity. As the person you manifested in this human experience, but also as your divine essence. Not separated but merged together as one.

You have access to your divinity more so than you ever have before. Allow that flow to move through you in every way. Accept it and breathe it into your life as much or as little as you may need to do so.

Know that I am ever with you and within you.

Know Your Talent – The 2012 Deception

 

  • Greetings Everybody! I am Seven Raymond writing to you on behalf of SunRaymond.comwith article number three.

    If you are alive today and are reading this then you have talent. You got skills! You see, your talents are gifts that are meant to be acknowledged by you and put into action, by you! It is only through action that your dreams will come true. Understand that by action, I mean that you are the one who must act in accordance with your intuition or inner voice in order to manifest your higher life purpose. Your higher life purpose is usually predicated upon what talents you were born with or expressed during childhood, and the dreams you had as a child. Yet when we become an adult, which means we become adulterated, we lose sight of who we really are. We lose sight of that bright light within us. We become like a fallen star; here one day, and gone the next.

    So then we exist within unskillful darkness, or lower light, which is predicated upon being ruled by the dictating minds and structures around us. These structures assume responsibility for us and we allow it because we’ve been tamed into believing that that’s the way it is and must be. Therefore, due to lack of knowledge we willingly give everything that works against us direct influence over our reality rather we are conscious of it or not. As a result, the majority of our lives become an unskillful occupation designed to keep us occupied from ourselves.

    If you are reading this article right now then I guarantee you that you still have the opportunity to become a super-conscious, self-deified master and change your life around should you choose to do so. You can become the shot caller; and therefore, the big baller. There is no time to wait. No madams and no sirs! We don’t have the time to wait for our governments to change. We don’t have the time to wait for disclosure, or for the extraterrestrials to get here. That will not happen in this reality, or at least not the way many of you have been expecting for it to occur, due to being deceived by various outside of self people and channeled messages. These people work for your oppressors. These messages are from your oppressors. However then again, even the conduits of those communications are being deceived. If you want to achieve your desired future, you have to do the work! On yourself beloveds! Yes, that is correct! Sure I do the readings, I do the consultations, and I teach the classes; but still, nobody, not even I can be your leader or guru. You come to me for assistance and guidance only to be led back to yourself. Yet when you arrive back to yourself you will not return the way you left because I Love You. So, Love Yourself people.

    Until you raise your vibrations up and become super-conscious, reality as it is will continue to exist for you, only it will get worse because starting this year of 2013 the shift begins to take place externally. 2012 was a deception to keep you focused and distracted on a specific date. However, we’ve been in the 2012 season since around 2007. Yes, 2012 is a season. Now starting this year the shift will began to take place externally, and I’ll address that in detail in a future article.

    One of the best ways to rise out of your current predicament (being enslaved) is to know your talent or talents plural! Some of us are multi-talented, yet we don’t embrace those talents because we lack belief, imagination, knowledge of self, and self-esteem. Often times we fail to act upon our talents because we are too busy listening to those outside of us. That includes family and friends. If we studied ourselves and developed a knowing of ourselves, we wouldn’t dare let anyone else dictate our lives. We’ll be masters.

    Your talents are aligned with your higher life purpose. Your talents are like tools. They are the tools necessary for you to get working, or shall I say, tools necessary for you to take action! However, yall just leave your tools in the basement…in the darkness. Yes, so now you need to go into that darkness and spark your light from within so that you can illuminate it. Then things will become so clear. Your life will have changed in an instant. You will have cultivated within your mind clear visuals of your desired future; and you will have known that it’s what you were supposed to be doing because you will have felt it in your heart. That is the true definition of Ascension.

    Dream people! Spend time daily dreaming within your mind, fantasizing and knowing that it is real, and that it is already yours. The only thing left is to make it materialize within your physical reality. That’s where your will power comes in. In order to work magic you must have strong will. You must summon your will power with determination in order to successfully act upon your intuition. If you are fearful then you must either conquer that fear, or use the power of your will in order to be courageous. Either way, you will conquer that fear! Only you can do this, nobody else. You must change your reality. They can’t do it for you, and I can’t either. Only you Beloveds.

    For example, if you have the gift of song, meaning that you can sing; then you should be fantasying in your mind that you are singing your songs of healing in front of the world knowing that it is real and that it is yours. You see, the Universal does not know the difference between that which is real and that which is imaginary, for even the reality you live in is imaginary and can be altered through proper utilization of the mind. Act upon your fantasies. Act upon what it is you are seeing in your mind little by little every day, then more and more every day. Then within your physical reality you are to go sing everywhere you can and as much as you can. You should be at all of the open mic nights. You have the talent of song right?! Then use it whenever possible and you just watch. All the right people will become drawn to you and you’ll find yourself well on your path of serving the people through song. Music is very healing. That is, skillful music, not unskillful music. Please, be original. Sing from your Heart.

    Go within yourself and rediscover your talents people. Know that you can achieve your dreams and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Do you want proof that you can do it? …then I dare you to prove it to yourself. Become like a child again! You don’t have to remain an adult, which again means, adulterated. The definition of adulterated is to make something less pure by adding inferior or unsuitable elements or substances to it. Do you now see dear adult how willingly enslaved you are due to lack of knowledge? You must revitalize your imagination, for it is the foundation that allows you to dream, and therefore create.

    On behalf of SunRaymond.com my name is Seven Raymond and as always I will be posting my articles and making YouTube videos for you while offering my readings, consultations, and classes which if taken advantage of by you, are the remedies to all of the above issues and more.

Quieting the mind, so I can hear my heart.

I often times catch myself caught in a negative mind loop.Before I know it my thoughts drift into what I call "a bad neighborhood."Often times these thoughts center around beliefs about myself.Apparently there are still issues of low self-esteem within me.My mind runs away with thoughts that are really not me anymore.Thoughts that seem to come up from deep within, the last remnants of fears, illusions and distortions that allowed me to go further and further away from my heart.Further behind the veil.So I could totally immerse myself in this world to experience that which my soul chose.Before I remembered that love is what created me and who I really am.It is during those times that I find the biggest difference in who I have become.For in the past those negative thoughts would have carried me deeper and deeper into anxiety, sleeplessness, and self doubt and hate.That's what the mind does.It has the power to cloud our ability to hear our heart speak.It can keep us caught in a loop of negativity for hours, sometimes days, months, years, lifetimes...But now am I aware that these thoughts are not who I am.So when it happens this is what I do...and yes I do talk to myself...a lotFirst I close my eyes and I take at least three deep breaths.I quiet my space.Imagine going into my heart.The center of my chest.Getting out of my head and into my heart.So I can hear Truth.I usually laugh at myself.I ask myself..."really Marie...do you really think _________________?Laughter always raises my vibration so quickly.Then I look at what I am saying about myself.Really look at it.Is there any truth to it?For example, if I think I am a crappy friend, have I acted as a crappy friend?If the answer is no then I give thanks for the thoughts and let them go as they no longer serve my highest good .After all having the thoughts allowed me to inspect an aspect of myself...release an issue that no longer defines me.If the answer is yes...then I forgive myself.For I need to remember that I was doing the best I could with the information I had, at the time.Then I really look at myself.Make sure that I forgive myself in every aspect, so I can heal and move forward.I finish by giving thanks for the experience, for as I empty myself of distortions and illusions about myself, I fill myself with love and forgiveness and gratitude.Usually as I envision letting go, I also see myself surrounded in the white light that is Source, and I tell all energies which are not with the purest intentions from the heart ,to move along ...I send them off in light and love, but they are not welcome here...I imagine myself as a being of light, filled with the energy of love, healed and whole.Then I breathe again.If I distance myself from my feelings, look at the situation, forgive myself and give thanks for the experience, it helps me find my way back to my center, my heart, the inner peace that is my real state of being,I believe forgiveness of self and gratitude is the energy I need to keep expanding and moving forward.The fast track to healing myself.And the faster I release that which is not who I am, the faster I become the person which I am striving to be.I hope this helps others.Times are intense and it is very easy to get caught up in the chaos which is all around us as the world continues to awaken.Quieting the mind allows for the hearing of our hearts.Nature also can quickly help center and release as well.Mother Earth's healing properties are amazing.She has direct communication with our hearts it seems.When we can hear our heart, we connect to our Source.We don't need a middleman.When we connect to Source, our decisions are heart centered and this allows us to be in the flow of the Source energy, the energy which flows through all living things.And that is when good stuff really happens...when we live from our heart.That's when our lives become abundant, for abundance is a by product of being in the flow of Source.Thank you my light family for being here with me.Wouldn't want it any other way.Hope your mind is quiet today and your heart is singing.In light and lovemarie

Hunted Kracken

Rustling scales, restless twitching wings

Blue eyes searching the horizon

Tongue wetting lips tight with tension

Deep impatient rumbling in a smouldering belly

 

Sensitive to the vibrations on the ether

The smell of apprehension on the heart of soul

A flick of a tail, a twitch of a tightening muscle

Heavily scaled skin ripple, as energy caress it.

 

Large horned head dip low, breathing the flow

Tasting and testing the tension in the ground.

Loudly expelled breath, clearing the senses

Heavy head snap up, eyes scanning the stars.

 

The enemy is shifting, gathering to move

Their smouldering intention already noted…

One head split to many, each tasting the level of soul

Weighing the feel of the intentions on the flow

 

A crescent star flash, the glint of a blade, in the shadow

Blue eyes; turn to blood, as it follows the move

The rumbling change, the vibration gathers

Many heads return to one, and seek

Beyond the flash of the shadow’s blade.

 

Shinning scales turn to shadow, blending,

Fading into the shadows cast by the flow

Slender neck pulled into striking position

Waiting, tasting, watching the shadow

 

One shadow become many, deepening the dark

Scaled skin ripple, with silent stealth

32 shadows move as one, followed by bloody eyes

That already know the position they seek

 

When will the crescent star learn, that their souls

Are known and loved by the one they hunt, so deeply

That they blue eyes know the truth, in their lies.

These eyes saw the truth they hid in the forest

 

A forest that hid a crescent star and a pope

A bag of gold, a contract made, with the trees as witness

To the deed that left sacred knights staring

Upon the sky with lifeless eyes, their name sullied

Crescent star and a pope, your deed witnessed by

One that know your soul, know your greed

The lust of your power, engraved in your soul

As those you slayed lay bleeding, in your shame

Your souls as dark as the shadows you use

 

Sinking a blade between the scales of the one you seek

Will not erase the shame of your deeds

That is engraved into the recesses of your soul

So many times you came for this one

 

When will you admit the shame in your soul?

Do you not realise that to receive forgiveness

Your shame must be revealed, and the injustice repaired

Lay down your blade shadow, you do not wish to die today

 

“Never!” the answer come, the same need no witness

“So be it”, the scaled shadow sighed, and rumbled

The movement silent, precise, and 32 of shame

Lay staring with blank eyes towards the sky

 

Blood eyes return to blue, and silent tears,

Trace paths over shadowy scales

The heavy head, turn and pull out the one blade

That hit true, between heavy scales, freeing the flow of blood

 

No amount of blood from the witness of the shame

Can erase what’s done, by a crescent star and a Pope

Only the truth, can find forgiveness, to soothe

The shame engraved in their souls

Lost Britain from above: Thousands of historic aerial photographs - which were almost lost forever - go online for the first time

• Rare pictures of St Paul's Cathedral and Blackpool Tower are included in treasured collection made freely available on new Britain from Above website


• Others show the 1935 FA Cup final, the Queen Mary's maiden voyage in 1936 and the 1947 Thames Flood


• More than 15,000 photographs taken between 1919 and 1953 have been uploaded on to the site


• Many were so old and fragile that they were close to being beyond repair


• Experts appeal to the public for information on pictures they can't identify


• Conservationists plan to put 95,000 images on the website by the end of 2014

Striking and evocative, they chart a dramatic period of British history - from the end of the World War One to the year of the Queen's Coronation.


But these treasured photographs of famous landmarks such as St Paul's Cathedral and Blackpool Tower could have been lost forever, were it not for a major conservation project which has made them freely available on the internet for the first time.


More than 15,000 pictures - many so old and fragile that they were close to becoming beyond repair - have been uploaded on to the Britain from Abovewebsite, which is launched today.

St Paul's Cathedra

It is the first batch of some 95,000 images, taken between 1919 and 1953, that are due to be put online in the next two years, showing the changing face of modern Britain.

The pictures come from one of the earliest and most significant collections of aerial photography.


Many shots were said to have been taken during the early days of aviation by former war pilots flying at very low altitudes.


The collection includes rare photographs of some of Britain's most historic landmarks, such as a picture of St Paul's from 1921, a 1927 image of Brighton's West Pier, and a view of the Forth Rail Bridge from 1937

But experts have asked the public to help them identify other photographs whose subjects remain a mystery.


The website has interactive features which visitors can use to add information, share personal memories, download images and customise their own themed photo galleries.


Today's launch is the latest stage of a major exercise in conservation and cataloguing.


The photographs come from the Aerofilms Collection, which was acquired for the nation in 2007 when the company faced financial difficulties.


They have been digitised with the help of the English Heritage and the Royal Commissions on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Wales.
