"Spend a few minutes every day reminding yourself of all the things you have going for you and the special qualities you have to offer." - Abigail Van Buren.

The week ahead is pretty laid-back for all mortals being transported through the cosmos on the beautiful lands of Gaia. A fairly peaceful and creative energy field takes hold on Earth so if you wake up with Technicolor dreams dazzling your mental sense buds don't be surprised. As multidimensional beings we are being revitalized, refreshed and infused with new energy from the core impulse of the multiverse, which spontaneously and continuously recreates itself. Every moment provides us with a rich influx of energy to do with whatever we choose. Heed this warning though; replicating the familiar rather than creating a new version of reality may lead to loss rather than the next chapter of your purpose.

The sacredness that you are, the sacredness that you seek, the sacredness that you yearn for always comes forth through the possibilities of your un-birthed tomorrows. To create the new, first you must imagine it, then you embrace it, and finally love it until the invisible becomes true for you. If you still don't know what that personal version of heaven's giving is for you pay attention - hunches are being given, flashes of genius and unusual promptings from the deeper qualities of intuition since we continue to be influenced by last week's powerful New Moon in Gemini and Summer Solstice portal. These are supportive energies of self definition.

Any rewiring of circuitry takes place in the nervous system before traveling to other areas of the anatomy. Be attentive and mindful this week whenever emotional or mental energy blocks your personal vitality. This is not the week to step into any dramas, circumstances of stress, or acts of frustration. The Soul's lineage is busy downloading each with an atonement of imagined existence so that we become compelled to make decisions towards a spiritual future. For thousands of years, all manner of prophets and ancients foresaw this era as being a massive turning point where the spiritual nature of existence is truly revealed and when humankind makes an astounding leap in consciousness. And this week we are getting a dose of Soul power and respect directly into our electrical systems. Uncomfortable shock waves can be appeased by supplementing your nutritional practice with some Natural Calm (magnesium) at the end of the day.

To assist with our journey through duality and into unity with individuality I suggest you continue the practice of releasing the ego's hold on your soul's quest for a full spectrum of visibility.We are at the juncture of receiving our Divine preciousness and unique gifts and it's the ego, our self-concept, which is actually the one with the inherent fear of change and will try to sabotage this Divine inheritance. Daily you should listen for the presence that speaks through your past, your wounds, and your fears as the soul births new creative aspects into your personality structures. Just for clarity, I define the ego as the largely conscious part of your personality that's derived from interfacing with the environment around you and that acts to preserve your self-concept and self-esteem as they are formed by that environment.

You'll know which is receiving more of your energy and attention, the ego or the soul, by which voice answers the following question: Do I make choices based on anxiety and fear or on my highest potential? The ego always asserts an agenda based on survival fear and self-esteem derived from the approval of culture and the people we interact with. When our choices are decided from such a perspective our soul range is dramatically decreased, rendering us mostly cultural beings, instead of celestial beings living in accordance with our highest potential.

Our mission at this time is to make the ego so expansive through our own compassion that it encompasses and includes the Soul - our connection to All That Is, our connection to eternity. This is the divine reconnection that is now ready to be birthed fully into your life. The big shift over the last few years has been the understanding of the Law of Attraction. The next big shift is everyone understanding ego and its true purpose. The collective has opened the door on the opportunity to resolve the discords within our personalities so that the Soul can enter harmoniously. This too is going to take a few years to purify and that's why I am giving you all the "heads up". Everyone who reads my words each Monday is a pioneer of consciousness. . . a soul that agreed to embody "the New" and to anchor it within form so that a planetary shift could occur. So get busy doing the homework assignment with ego.

As each of you diligently raises your luminosity and consciousness by participating in the expansive unfolding of the Universe itself then Spirit can incarnate into everyone's journey at this time!Whether conscious or unconscious, what you hold compliments the life force of everyone you touch. So as you begin to use the ego as a creative tool of the Soul, and allow your personal sense of who you are to include the Soul identity, we all gain awareness. Your very vibration becomes an educator to hundreds.

If you don't know where to start expanding your understanding about ego you could start by the contemporary source author Robert Ohotto. I love using his book entitled, "Transforming Fate Into Destiny" published by Hay House, Inc. in my classes. Caroline Myss and Wayne Dyer are more good resources that I would recommend. However if you make the request to the Universe and your guides, "Bring me the appropriate teaching," it will appear. It can't not.

This is the time you have been waiting for and now you are being given the tools to build your individual and collective vision of a new era. You can no longer make our life contingent on another or what other's do. Each must rise to meet their own path. All are going to understand that when you plan based on what someone else will do, you block your flow. You have to be where your Soul tells you to be! You just have to know that you have the skills to navigate whatever comes up, as it arises.

And that's where my readers come in - you are the way-showers! You demonstrate using your senses as a barometer in all things. You know signs and answers are always around. That there is no need to obsess over and worry about missing them. You just stay open and pay attention. You realize you cannot miss what is meant for you. They will continue to show up until you understand, right? Many things are just what they are. You allow what you need to receive to pop out at you, so whatever you need out of each moment just appears. And you know why you do it that way? Because you feel and know you are Spirit and part of a Universal team that is always creating and expanding.

In sacred union with each of you,

Rev. Angela

We are experiencing back to back eclipses, transits and alignments this year that are propelling us into unprecedented evolutionary acceleration. As the Earth lines up with these super powerful points in our skies, it is like turning the dial on a safe and when you get the right code, click, the door opens. So, with every alignment this year a doorway has opened, often called a stargate, because it opens the way for a rush of galactic energy from the universe, from other star systems and other dimensions, to flood onto our planet, energy that we haven’t had access to for at least 26,000 years if not longer in this exact same way. It is not any one alignment on it’s own that is triggering our shift. However, when we experience a ‘perfect storm’ of alignments – a Solar Eclipse on Alcyone the central sun of the Pleiades, a Venus transit, alignment with the Galactic Centre – this sets up the conditions that led the ancients to foresee that these times would herald great change upon this planet, a great awakening.

The galactic energy is coming to us as waves, energy waves and solar waves, that are simultaneously awakening and activating our cells and DNA. Similar to an ocean wave that rushes into shore and back out again, the waves are clearing us of debris. This is happening on all levels – personal, social and global. The process will repeat over and over again until only that which is in alignment with the vibration of our new reality will remain. The new reality vibration is all about authenticity and is heart-based, and we can see as we look around us, within our own lives and around the world, that this process is well underway. On a global level you can see it most obviously in arenas like politics where the people are taking a stand against controlling dictators and dishonest, corrupt government representatives. People are looking for honesty and transparency in their leaders, and want someone who speaks and acts from the heart. The old ways of working just aren’t going to work anymore, people aren’t responding as they used to!

The May 20/21 Solar Eclipse was a once in 26,000 year event as the Earth, Sun and Moon aligned with our Great Central Sun in the Pleiadian Star System. This stargate is taking us to our next level personally and collectively, flooding our bodies and our planet with the energy of Alcyone - which for many here is the energy of Home. The Alcyone alignment is like someone pressing the right pin code to activate our next phase of remembering. If you have been feeling ‘on hold’, like your old work is gone or on pause but the new is yet to start, you may start receiving strong feelings about what you are supposed to do next, and what you can best do to support our planet and humanity as we turn the corner into a new evolutionary chapter. We will also start to actively experience more of our multi-dimensional abilities including telepathy, magical synchronicity, heightened intuition, a clearer connection with loved ones who have passed on as well as with our non-physical star families and more conscious awareness of why things are how they are.

The Venus transit is about the Divine Feminine awakening. This awakening doesn’t just apply to women. It is about the Divine Feminine in all of us and how we relate to it in our world. So much of that which is ruled by the Divine Feminine has been repressed for so long. This Venus transit is the Divine Feminine shouting to us: Stop avoiding me, stop denying me, stop ignoring me, referring to our intuition, our feelings, our creativity and living from the Heart.

Many of you have been forced to rest recently due to being low in energy, or getting colds and flu’s for the first time in years. Clearing happens easier when we get out of the way, especially when we are sleeping. With the current clearing process however we have to be careful that we aren’t inadvertently clearing on behalf of people who aren’t owning their clearing process, which can be really difficult for those who haven’t addressed major issues within themselves. People who’ve been on this path for a long time tend to have a ‘healer’ personality, so subconsciously send out vibes saying “I’ll take some of it on for you!” This is a big no no right now! It is not helping that person, and it is not helping you. We are specifically talking about processing other people’s emotional stuff for them. We do this when we judge others, when we feel ‘bad’ for someone, when we get angry that they are doing xyz instead of abc. Let it go. If you aren’t sure if your physical symptoms are due to your clearing process or someone else’s you can say “If this is not mine please leave, return to your rightful owner”. It is also good to affirm “I am 100% ...say your name...nothing more, nothing less.”

June 2012 “Trust”

We have all done things in our lives that we would do differently now. Because of the severity of some of these situations, we may have learned not to trust ourselves. If this is the case, we need to remember that most of these decisions came before we were walking a conscious spiritual path. We made them as human beings, not spiritual human beings. Even with these situations and decisions that made in our past, we still became conscious Lightworkers. We are seeking spiritual understanding, guidance, and knowledge to grow and remember who we are. So we did not mess up! It is time to let ourselves off the hook for the things of our past. In our teachings we have shared that forgiveness is the foundation of spiritual growth. We have shared a lot about forgiving others, but the most important thing is to forgive ourselves. And now it is time to start trusting ourselves again. This message may not be for everyone, but it is for someone(s).

I want you to ask a couple of questions. These are not questions directed to your Angels so we will not need any protection prayers. You will be asking them to yourself, to your mind.

To get balanced in your heart, take a couple of long, slow deep breaths.

For Yourself ~ Now, ask yourself honestly, “Do I trust myself?

If you answered yes, great! Skip down to the next part that says, “For your soul.”

If you answered no, ask yourself “Why?”

Then take a few moments to say something like this, “I forgive myself for all of the decisions in my past. All is in Divine order. All is well.” Breathe deep feeling the release.

Here are some more affirmations for restoring the trust in yourself:

“I trust that the past no longer has a hold on me.”

“I AM no longer holding myself back.”

“I trust myself with my life. I trust myself to make decisions. I trust myself.”

Put your hand over your heart, breathe deep and repeat, “I trust myself. I trust myself. I trust myself.”

For your soul ~ Have you checked in with your soul about the theme of what lessons you came to learn and who you came to learn them with? You may have trust issues with your soul. Not trusting your soul isn’t a good place to be because then you can drag your feet on your path, not listen to your soul (Angels) and ultimately make things harder than they have to be.

Let’s go back to the beginning of this life. No, let’s go back even further; when you were talking with your Angels about coming back to Earth to experience your final life. You were in all the power you had amassed up to that point in your soul. You felt strong. You knew you had more things to complete to be finished with this cycle of learning through forgetfulness. But in order to not have to come back into the Earth cycle of non-remembrance after this life, you had to learn very specific things before you crossed over once again. So in all your power, you said just dump it all in there, everything I need to do. Your Angels asked you if you were sure. And you said, “Yes!” You then set up the karma lessons, your family, the people you would meet and love, the friends, the work, the money, the assistance you would need as the lessons played out and so on.

And so your path was created. This self-created path had three sections to it, the easy part, the middle part and the hard part. You could walk on any of the three sections but the one thing you couldn’t do was to get off of the path. And things played out in your life according to what you had set up.

During this time, you may have blamed your soul for expecting too much for you. Or not helping you. But this wasn’t what happened. Your life plan was for you to experience what you needed to experience so that you never had to come back into this kind of life again. The impetus was that after this life you would be moving forward into a new kind of experience to learn your lessons because you had no interest in returning to a place called Earth where you had to spend years remembering who you really were and growing to be an adult so you could do the things you knew you could do or wanted to do. (It is very difficult when you remember who you are as a child!)

Things shifted a few years ago in 2003 that cut our ties to karma and our ties to our original paths. This was scary to some souls on Earth so they decided to keep going down that original path. And some of you got so excited to leave the “controlled ego” path behind that you decided to create a new path for yourself. But even so, you may still feel like your soul is crazy to present to you some of the people and situations that you have in your life. Your Angels are saying to you: “You created this plan. Allow us to work thru you to bring it into fruition.”

You already know if this is your situation. If so, it is time to get back in alignment with your soul. A person cannot fight against themselves without having consequences. And those consequences show up in ways like prayers not being answered, feeling disconnected and more. If this is your situation and you feel a distrust of your soul and like things have been too hard, you have been abandoned or that your soul is having fun at your expense, say these affirmations with an open heart.

“I trust the whisper of my highest Angel voices as I sit in silence.”

“I trust that I AM safe to hear and follow my soul’s guidance.”

“I AM no longer holding myself back.”

“I trust my soul with my decisions. I trust my soul with my life. I trust my soul.”

Place your hand over your heart and repeat, “I trust my soul. I trust my soul. I trust my soul.”

For God ~ Now this brings us to the biggest trust issue I have found in my experience with counseling Lightworkers in the Soul Sessions. Fear is a common theme. Let me explain. Do you know where fear comes from? All of your fears can be traced back to the moment that you separated from God. I am not talking about for this life. I am talking about way back at the beginning of this cycle of Earth.

Before God created the Earth, you were one with God. You were God. And then God created this Universe and you decided that you wanted to experience it. You were full of light and love and had everything you could ever think of or ask for. But still you wanted to come experience this new place of being because it was so special to God. You were jumping up and down, raising your hand and saying, “Pick me! Pick me! I want to go!” Then you stood in line for a long time to wait your turn to come to this new place called Earth. You were told what would happen after you consciously came to this place, but in your powerful state, you were okay with whatever was being said to you. Then it came to be your turn. It was just like you were in line at Disney World. You were all filled with excitement.

When it was time, you pulled away from God to come to your Earth experience. All of a sudden you were in darkness. This was for some of you the first time you had experienced anything but the light. Yes, you were still shining your own light and you had your two Angels beside you but as you got further away from God and closer to the place for you to get ready to be born into your first life, your light got dimmer and dimmer. That was when you started having the thoughts of, “How could God leave you?” Your Angels assured you this was not the case and because you still felt power and had light, you let those thoughts go while you and your Angels planned your first experience on Earth. Your Angels waited with you until your birth onto the new world. When you joined with the body of the baby as it took its first breath, you felt icky and cold. You panicked and started to cry. How could this be? You were so powerful and now you couldn’t see your light any more. You could still see your Angels there but you couldn’t hear them as well as before. You felt something strange; fear. Where was God? What did you do to have Him abandon you?

And so from this very first life, you felt God abandoned us to this place when it was your choice to come here. Every fear you have, if you trace it back, you will see it relates to feeling abandoned or being alone. My friend, God did not abandon you. He is still here. It is time to trust in Him again. It is time to reconnect fully to God and recognize that each time we ascend to a new dimension; we are closer to God than before.

Close your eyes for a moment and visualize God as the ocean and think of yourself as a drop of water. As we ascend into the 5th Dimension, what happens is God as the ocean flows in us, the drop of water. Breathe and see this happening right now to you. You are the drop of water and the Ocean that is God is flowing into you. Accept God fully back into your life. Let Him off the hook and remember that it was your choice to experience this place that He loves so much! If this is your story, here are some affirmations for you:

“I trust in my divine path. This easy and beautiful path is unfolding in front of me now. Every step I take is blessed.”

“I trust God in me. I trust God in me. I trust God in me.”

“I trust God. I trust God. I trust God.”

Place your hands over your heart or in prayer form touching every part of your fingers and hands together, breathing deep say, “I trust God. I trust God. I trust God.”

Below are some more affirmations that may be helpful. I was given these affirmations for the March 23, 2011 “Angelic Guidance Radio – Angel Blessings” program called “Trust.” You can listen or download the program here: www.BlogTalkRadio.com/christina-lunden

“I trust that the past no longer has a hold on me.

I trust my eyes are open to see the truth.

I trust that I AM safe to hear and follow my heart.

I trust that I AM safe to speak what needs to be spoken.

I trust that I AM guided when to listen instead of speaking.

I trust I am already all that I need. I no longer seek outside of myself for completeness.

I trust that I AM safe to remember who I am.

I trust that I AM the powerful spiritual human being I came to be now.

I trust that I AM safe to use my spiritual abilities.

I trust that I AM ready to use my power.

I trust that I will use my power wisely.

I AM no longer holding myself back.

I trust that I am always guided and protected.

I trust myself to be all that I came to be.

I trust myself. I trust myself. I trust myself.

I trust.”

Breathe deep.

I trust that you and I are deeply loved and never alone,

Establishing your Multidimensional Truth
by Jelaila Starr

As we move further along the path of ascension, we find that more and more individuals, or groups of individuals hailing from other parts of the cosmos are contacting us. With all the confusion and frustration being created by trying to sift through the ever-increasing amounts of conflicting information they share, I felt it was time to write an article to assist you in figuring what’s real and what isn’t. In other words, how to establish your multidimensional truth.

What is multidimensional truth and how does it differ from 3D truth, the kind we know and understand?

In our society we have been taught to see truth from the 3rd dimensional perspective. In other words, truth was based on evidence and facts that gather through our five senses. But as we move into this new millennium and through the twelve octaves or overtones of the 4th dimension and up into the 5th dimension, we are presented with the opportunity and challenge to embrace truth based on the facts of events and the individual perspectives of those events in all the dimensions. In other words, we are asked to learn how to establish truth multi-dimensionally so that we can see the “bigger picture” which will keep us from becoming stuck in judgment and blame.

Multidimensional truth simply means truth that involves the realities of those existing on worlds and in dimensions other than ours. These people have their own experiences just like us and their own individual realities as well as a collective reality, also just like us. We live on earth and overall we have a collective consciousness of what our world is about, but we also have our own individual realities as well. It is said that we are holographic, that our world is holographic and when we look at it like I just described, we can see how that could be true. Each of our individual worlds is a hologram and our hologram contains our individual truth. All of our individual worlds make up the collective hologram we call the reality of our world and our world truth. I believe it is the same on other dimensions with the Beings or people who live in those worlds. And just as we have formed opinions of our reality and what lies beyond it, so have they and those opinions and holograms are what they are sharing with us.

What purpose does it serve on the ascension path?

I believe that this new challenge is behind much of the confusion, frustration and fear that many are experiencing now in attempting to establish what is true and what it not. This can be corroborated by the increasing amount of channeled material that is being put before us, and the many various perspectives and beliefs that information contains. If you spend any time just researching the online information you can quickly become overwhelmed and frustrated from the amount of viewpoints put forth by the various groups sharing their version of truth. And that is just what I see happening to many people today.

But isn’t this just a part of the times in which we live? If it is true that we are ascending into a new level of consciousness, doesn’t it make sense that we would encounter those Beings who live in the dimensions through which we are traveling? And wouldn’t it make sense that they would try to connect with us and tell us their stories complete with all the, feuds, squabbles, judgments, agendas triumphs and joys in each? I think so. I feel it is all part of stepping into the galactic community. First we hear them and soon, as we move up through the octaves of 4D into the octaves of 5D, we will begin to see them as well. So, to me it is like taking baby steps. But once again, this new interaction with races from other worlds and their subsequent sharing of their reality with us requires a new way of looking at truth—a multidimensional way.

How do we use multidimensional truth?

So we see that each individual living on every world in every dimension has a personal truth. And each collective group of individuals has a collective truth. If we can begin to view the channeled material being given to us from that perspective then we can begin to understand how to perceive multidimensional truth. In other words, all creation, all holograms are truth to those that create them. Your life is your truth and my life is mine. What is painful for me might be joyful for you and vice versa. But there are things that we both feel are painful and things that we both feel are joyful. But once again, what we collectively agree is joyful to us and humans might be painful to another species…and each is accurate in their perception. Neither is right or wrong, they are just different ways of experiencing the same thing. Let me give you an example.

The knowledge that is part of the 9th dimensional perception is different in some ways than the knowledge that is part of the 3rd dimensional perception. Let’s take the idea of light and dark. On our dimension (a 3rd dimensional reality) Light is seen as good and dark is seen as bad. Light is joy and bliss and Dark is pain and suffering. But on the 9th dimension Light and Dark do not have these labels. They are seen more like chocolate and vanilla ice cream, just different expressions of All That Is, each expressing a different version of creation. Neither is good or bad, both just are. There is no negative judgment placed on either one. On the 9th dimension Light and Dark are both acknowledged as having a balanced and imbalanced side. In others words, the Light has a Dark side and the Dark has a Light side. So the overall difference in the truth about Light and Dark in regards to the 3rd dimension and 9th dimensional perspectives is that on one there is a negative judgment of one of the polarities and on the other there is not. But perspectives on Light and Dark are truth.

Multidimensional truth is a concept that once embraced and understood enables us to look at each piece of channeled information and then place it in its proper perspective. By doing so we no longer find ourselves caught up in the frustration and confusion created by trying to understand these off-world offerings from a strictly 3D point of view using the 3D way of establishing truth. We no longer have a need to see them as a “right” or “wrong” but as point of view which we may share or not share, or we may find that we share part of their viewpoint, but not all of it.

Our ability to understand truth gets tested over and over with the result being that many of us are slipping further and further into the abyss of confusion and fear not knowing what to believe or in whom to place our trust. It is becoming a dilemma of epic proportions and driving many of us into constant states of low-level panic, stress and anger.

But there is a way out. There is a way to establish your truth, to understand how all the pieces of information coming to the planet from the higher realms and from the uncovering of hidden truths in our own worlds fit together into the bigger cosmic and universal picture. There is a way to be at peace and ride the information wave, taking in and discarding pieces, interpreting and placing pieces into the giant universal puzzle of multidimensional realities in which we actually live. And just like a 3D puzzle, which we are in the process of putting together, we can enjoy the mystery of wondering how it will look when it is all done. There is no need to in any way be upset because one cannot see the “whole picture” yet, or know where every piece fits or does not fit at any given time.

Thanks to the patient training by my guides on the Nibiruan Council, I was taught how to establish multidimensional truth. They provided me with precise instruction of how to interpret the data, placing the pieces in the puzzle, and finding peace, excitement and understanding in the process. Now I want to pass that knowledge on to you.

How do we establish multidimensional truth?

Step 1. Take the information you are reading and view it like you would if you were reading information given to you by two friends sharing their views of the same topic. Remember that each person will present his/her version of the truth based real facts and perceived ideas along with subjective experience as is their right.

Step 2. Remain open to the information in dispute. In other words, don’t agree with one over the other, instead, remain open to the idea that other information is needed to corroborate both views. (using the analogy above, keep playing with the different pieces seeing what part of the puzzle of the bigger picture may or may not be on each piece, without judgment or fear).

Most importantly, remember that each version is the truth for that person and that is okay. As I mentioned earlier, multidimensional truth is factual and subjective therefore it is based not only on the facts of actual events that occurred, but also on the feelings and perceptions of the individuals involved in or observing the events as well.

What one group loves another group fears, but for both the truth is determined by their beliefs. This does not make them wrong or right. Multidimensional truth is not about wrong or right, it is about individual and group perceptions based on their individual and group experiences. If we can grasp this concept, we will be able to take advantage of all the information being given to us from our galactic and cosmic neighbors. We will be able to see the bigger picture and see how the galactic neighborhood really looks. There are disputes, alliances, peace, war, love, hate, justice and injustice just like on earth.

There is also the possibility of hidden agendas behind apparent perspectives where a group within a civilization may wish to influence us as new neighbors in the galactic community for their own purposes. This is similar to you moving into a new neighborhood here on earth and a new neighbor grabs your ear to give you a story to influence your ideas about another person or family in the neighborhood, not for the purpose of truth but for that individuals own agenda. The only difference between you and I and this example is that the new neighbors are contacting us before we even move in! To take one group’s side over another is to pass judgment, get stuck in it, and play god, causing us to get off on the wrong foot as new galactic citizens by immediately drawing us into conflicts that we don’t need the pain of being involved in.

We are the newcomers to the neighborhood. Many of our neighbors are visiting us now, telling us of their issues with others including the management team that maintains our galaxy. To get caught up in their disputes and conflicts taking sides does not allow us to enter the community as a neutral new member and as a result, we will open ourselves to attack from the groups we are indirectly opposing. It is like moving into a new neighborhood and having one of our neighbors begin shooting at us because they realize we have already taken sides with another neighbor against them. And we did this via telephone communication with our future neighbor. This is why understanding multidimensional truth is so important. We cannot begin to embrace multidimensionality and our new galactic community until we learn to see all sides of an issue. This brings us to my next point.

What tools do we need to establish our multidimensional truth?

Going a step further, how do we determine what all the sides of an issue are and further more, how do we find the integration point, the point of no blame?

The answers to this question are intuition and research. I have discussed this in the article, Establishing Your Truth, and it bears repeating again.

Intuition is how you receive information from your guides and higher self/soul regarding the information in question. How you feel about something is very much a key to knowing how to form an opinion about it. Intuition is half of the process known as discernment, but only half. The other half is research.

Research is how you determine why you know what you know and how you prove what you know to be your truth.

What benefits can we derive from multidimensional truth?

By using the technique of multidimensional truth instead of just 3D truth, we rid ourselves of the fear and confusion that comes from trying to determine what is really happening in the cosmos and what our part, both individually and collectively, is to be. We find ourselves at peace because we see the “bigger picture” and therefore, don’t get pulled into the dramas that are playing out all around us. We see the puzzle and play with the pieces to see what they are and where they go—maybe they don’t fit in the puzzle at all! Establishing your truth multi-dimensionally places you in the position of a creator god or goddess who sees all sides and remains compassionate unconditionally loving, and neutral. And isn’t that what we say we want to be?

In closing, this was meant to be a time of great enlightenment; not a time of confusion, panic, stress and fear. Knowing how to establish multidimensional truth is the key, and the tool to taking advantage of all the good things this new knowledge has to offer us.

In service to all,

Everyone knows that sometimes accidents just happen, but some accidents are truly too horrible to fathom. In the video below, you will see a mother watch her baby’s stroller roll onto
subway tracks. What happens next can be described as nothing short of a miracle. In fact, many people who watch this video see and angel watching over the endangered infant.

Watch carefully to see if you notice the angel and then share this amazing video to all your friends!

A Huge Miracle for a Tiny Baby (and her mother)

Sentinels 22 June 2012

We come to guide those who are now moving closer and closer to TRUTH in their hearts.
From the outside the planet earth may appear to be in chaos but inside of YOU there is a
restructuring that is being done from cellular level outwards. We are the Sentinels and we
come to guide as more and more prepare to move to the new world that has been born.
Our role is one of guide and not of leader, for that serves no one. We sit on the outer
edge of your vision, guiding, whispering and nudging for we can SEE in ways that YOU
are now only beginning to imagine. For those who are now restructuring SELF this is a
challenging time but it is also an expansion of SELF, it is a growing, a reconnecting and a
SOUL growth.
We sit as gatekeepers to the portals of new worlds, our role is one of emissary, we are
not here to make rules and regulations to prevent the entering of the new world, on the
contrary we are here to help you shed that which no longer serves in order to gain access
to the new world.
As the humans on planet earth now shed their distortions, embrace the new energies and
begin to harmonise with all of the universe the change in their energy signature is vast.
Those who are now moving in elevation can FEEL this elevation, a lightness in their step,
a lightness in their BEing as they begin to remember who they ARE. For the movement to
a new planet is the movement that is dreamed of and those dreams are now unfolding for
many across planet earth.
The energies that now sweep across the planet are cleansing and they are clearing, this
is done at all levels through all dimensions and all timelines. This cleansing and clearing
is down to as we have guided cellular level, it is not possible to enter a new world with the
programming of the old world existing within your very structure. For you are the world,
the world is you, you contain the frequencies of the planet that you exist on and that
planet is now restructuring from the inside out.
The frequency of mother earth is now shifting and expanding, the ability to increase the
energy that flows through you is now being shown to you and we guide for all to be aware
and to embrace this new energy. Allow the frequencies to begin to shift and allow the
heightening of the senses that occurs when this happens. The abilities that you have as
human BEings are now expanding, that which is your natural state of BEing is being
shown to you at ever deepening levels.
We are here for you at all times and we guide for you to journey to meet us. By allowing
the dreamtime to open a gateway to our energies we guide we will meet you and show
you that which has to be allowed to dissolve in order to move and expand. It is vital that
you begin to allow this process that is starting on planet earth to begin, many are holding
back, trying to build more walls deep within to keep the pain at bay. We guide strongly
dear ones that the pain is the distortion. It is not a natural human state to hold pain deep
inside. It is a distortion that you have been TAUGHT how to do and it works against you
on all levels.
Distortion in the form of human emotional pain leads to a filter that is applied that screens
out the beauty in the world around you, many are now unable to see the beauty of the
new world for they use the eyes that have been taught NOT to see. Do our words
resonate dear ones? We are here to help you gain clarity of vision for whilst you walk in
the dark then the pain may seem as a giant that is now about to overbear you but shining
the light YOU ARE on the pain will show it for the distortion that it is in TRUTH.
So much has been kept from the human race that there is no way to enter the new world
without a measure of some discomfort. Know that any sign of discomfort is merely the
dislodging of a teaching of distortion. The energies of the new earth do not support that
which is not TRUTH, many are aware of this but unable to absorb the full depth of this
phrase. Anything you have built your life upon that is borne out of the teachings of
distortion will now begin to dissolve.
It may be a challenging time for many as you have been taught to preserve the teachings
of distortion and hand them down to successive generations. Many of the children born
onto the planet earth are alerted to this and will reject the teachings of distortion
immediately. This will prove to be further challenging for those who have incarnated on
planet earth and who have borne the teachings and not questioned them. The default
teaching of distortion that has been taught is to defend the “status quo”. This is a huge
distortion for energy is always moving, to try to preserve the “status quo” is pouring huge
amounts of energy into trying to stand still dear ones. There is no expansion and growth
for the SOUL if you try to stand still, it is not possible to stand still for energy moves
continuously.
We guide strongly that if you are at this moment trying to preserve that which you have at
all costs then you walk in the teachings of distortion. Many are holding on tightly to jobs,
to relationships and ways of BEing, fully believing it is TRUTH but we guide the universe
only supports TRUTH and not the reflections of a teaching of distortion that may attempt
to appear as TRUTH but does not have the energetic imprint that all TRUTH has. Does
this resonate dear ones?
More and more humans across and within planet earth will now see their energy
signatures begin to move and to shift. The note that YOU are is changing as mother earth
is changing, the universal signature of the planet you have incarnated upon is now
shifting, it makes no sense for the BEings who are hosted on the planet to stay in the old
energies and therefore not shift with the planet. Does this resonate dear ones? Many
believe the teachings of distortion that create the notion that the new earth is a physically
different world and we ask for you to detach from this teaching. This was taught to cause
confusion and to scatter energies. ALL is energy, the different versions of SELF and
dimensions are energetic dear ones, it is YOUr perception that will change, your eyesight
become clearer and YOU will be able to access that which may appear hidden to you at
the vibration you resonate to at this moment. Heightening your vibration will reveal the
secrets that you have been shielded from.
Those who sought to control this planet knew that the change in frequency would alter
everything and this is what they sought to control. ALL is energy dear ones, we guide for
you to let go of the human logical brain and to allow the senses that show you TRUTH to
begin to reactivate. That which is TRUTH is not always logical for the human brain was
programmed to respond in certain ways. To move out of this way of BEing and of living is
therefore a challenge to many who cannot seem to move out of the original programming.
The removal of the stimulus of the old world is but the start dear ones.
Akin to a baby learning to walk the logistics of it make little sense to the baby who will not
be able to process them. The baby learns by actively attempting to walk. We would guide
for you to actively create dear ones, we would guide you actively begin to challenge that
which is taught as TRUTH, only by questioning and experiencing can you tell what is
TRUTH and what is not. Logic has no part in this. If you debate and debate then you will
not experience, we ask you why you would incarnate in human form on a planet to
experience if you would not then use the body to experience?
Many are trapped in the mind and we guide this has been taught. Many are very dormant
in that they do not use the human body that has been given to them. Dear ones if you
were here to sit and watch the planet you would not have been given a body that moves
around for what use would it be to you?
Experience has been adapted dear ones for your mind and we would draw your attention
to this, an experience is personal, it involves the exchange of energies with the realm in
which you are conversing. A walk in nature sees you experience and exchange energies
with the faerie realm, the tree realms, sprites etc. A walk in a computer generated
programme watched inside on a monitor is an exchange of negative energies for the
energies emitted from the programme do not harmonise with the human energies that
YOU are. Does this resonate?
It cannot be highlighted enough that YOU are nature. YOU are part of the planet on which
you have incarnated, the vehicle you have been given to move around on this planet is in
harmony with the planet herself. The SOUL can receive detailed information through this
human vehicle from the realms around it. YOU can connect with the energies that you are
and we guide this is the challenge. Many are leaving their physical bodies to do this, to
move out of the physical and to move into the etheric. This also has been taught and
conditioned into the human race. This is not the challenge dear ones, the challenge for
the new world is to experience all that YOU are in the physical. It is merging the physical
with the energy that YOU are to harmonise and to come into balance.
We guide this may trigger many who are oblivious to the means by which the human
body has been rigidly controlled over the aeons and that this is what is breaking down.
The ability to walk in human form and converse and SEE your galactic family and all
realms is the ability to move the physical into harmony with SELF. For the SELF that YOU
ARE , the divine part of SELF that IS all come together in the human vehicle. There are
humans on planet earth who have honed this skill and they are near to achieving the
challenge that IS, to harmonise the human body with ALL that IS.
We guide for you to begin to TRUST SELF, for the deep part of SELF is aware of this
need in this timeline and will show YOU how to achieve this. It is not done through the
interaction of the teachings of distortion for they were created to lower vibration. To
achieve harmony with the human vehicle and the SELF involves raising the human
vibration.
That which is being shown to you as dissolving is what is stopping you from achieving this
higher vibration, frustration is the first signal to the body that there is a frequency that is
not in harmony with the rest of the body. This is the route to the new dear ones, seek out
the teachings that are hiding below the guise of LOVE, seek out the distortions and then
dissolve them, the lightness of BEing from this will elevate leading to more TRUTH and
dissolving of more distortion.
The world will now begin to make little sense for most of the population. The balance that
appeared as “status quo” is not TRUTH and will now break down. How YOU react dear
ones is entirely up to YOU for YOU are the only one experiencing this at this moment. We
guide for you to rely on SELF, to TRUST SELF and learn to use the internal navigation
system that is SELF. This will allow you to process TRUTH and to find the illuminated
path that lies at your feet.
The smoke and mirrors of the teachings of distortion may attempt to trigger deep feelings
within you for that was their purpose. Like mini bombs of destruction, they trigger to lower
vibration and shield YOU from TRUTH. We guide for YOU to seek them out and to
dissolve them with the LOVE that IS to allow TRUTH to flow through you and around you
for it is YOU, at a deep level YOU ARE TRUTH.
We are the Sentinels and we come to guide and support as the human race now begins
its preparations to enter a new world. We ask for you to remember to breathe during the
process for this will help YOU. We look forward to welcoming you to new world, for we
are YOU.

Greetings from the Federation:
There is a great sense of hope developing on your world today as your collective thoughts focus on the arrest of the Illuminati and the restructuring of your financial systems. These are as have been intended. They are being played out all over your world in an orchestrated manner that would overwhelm you in its strategic development if you could know its depth and breath. We are here to speak about that which we can without jeopardizing actions already in play that you will see come to fruition over the coming weeks.
Prepare for great movements of information all over your globe that will focus those who are not in tune with what you have been accomplishing all this while. This will be the next, and greatest to date, mass awakening of individuals who have been asleep through the process thus far. This information will come from many sources, including your media, which has even now begun to unravel the Illuminati control about it. Truth is rolling over those that resist, and those who have always wanted this information to “get out” now see no impediment to their actions to make it so. This trickle will now become the floodgates of information that are a precursor to disclosure.
Indeed, we have had our hand in the rocket launch recently making news and it is now abundantly clear that there can be no reprisal from rogue military operations on our actions in the world. While fear mongering will cause many to focus on nuclear weapons and their potential use in terrorist activities, we say, as we have always advised, that there is nothing to fear at all.
Your nation of Iceland is being used as a testing ground for the rolling out of financial strategies for the betterment of your planet. It would be wise to follow their progress in this respect, as it will be the fate of all nations in a very brief period of time. We have always advised you that such an action would never come from the larger powers and nations of the world, but they will follow in lockstep once the actions begin their domino effect.
The time of doubt is at an end. The time of hope has begun. Now, you will begin to see real change occur, palpable and observable by all. These matters will come on so quickly it will spin your head. Hold on now for the beginning of the beginning. And as these changes come, so will Gaia react to your hope and love. She is already making changes that will benefit all. There are several more massive earthquakes yet to occur, all with minimal damage to life, as these changes continue.
We are forever with you, our family. We look forward to our reunion and the chance to share with you our love and excitement for your future.
Be at peace.

Our wish is that you continue on your present course. – Michael channeled by Ron Head

We greet you on this first day after your solstice. As always, many are wondering what all the fuss was about, while others are amazed at the new energies they find themselves in. You have entered a field of much increased frequencies of love. You are all in this field, my friends. Some can see a difference, some can feel it, some see new colors, some see energies that they have not seen before, and some do not yet notice any change. Do not judge yourselves for being where you are. You are exactly where you need to be at this moment. If you have chosen to be on the path to ascension, you are where you can be of the most benefit for yourselves and the all.

All around you now, you are seeing a crescendo of events that is leading to a massive change in your outside world. As above, so below, yes? As within, so without. What you are about to witness is the evidence of the massive change that has occurred, and continues to occur in the hearts of humanity.

Some of the persons who are experiencing these changes in themselves would amaze you. They reach far wider than you can yet see. And as you continue to bring your intentions to bear, continue to imagine and envision change, this is accelerating. We see that more and more of you are joining together in these efforts. Not only are you joining together on days such as your solstice, but now some are doing this daily.

Do not be surprised or rocked when the effects of all this multiply and spill into the limelight. It is already beginning and will build rapidly now. Be certain in your hearts that what you witness will be exactly what is necessary to accomplish what is needed. Your fondest dreams are becoming reality, and beyond that are things which you now would believe impossible. Things which are real now, but hidden from you, will spur such advances as will be difficult for some to come to grips with. But soon, as you know, everything which is new becomes commonplace.

Hold your vision of a peaceful and graceful transition into your new lives and these mammoth changes in your world can be accomplished with as little upheaval as possible. We would point out to you that even with hundreds of earthquakes happening daily, no major loss of life has occurred. You may also have noticed that some of your first typhoons and hurricanes have not produced any damage to speak of. You will one day come to understand the relationship between your state of mind and your environment. News on one side of your world. Old hat, as you say, on the other.

Our wish is that you continue on your present course. We believe you say, “Keep on keeping on.” We are amazed at what you are accomplishing. Ask whenever you need comfort or aid. We are always here with you. Good day.

Here is some food for thought ....Looked it up on the web and it's all true! JB

Microwave test - an eye opener

Below is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex.

In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts.

The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave.

Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave.

She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave.

As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference, after the experiment which was repeated by her class mates a number of times and had the same result.

It has been known for some years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, it's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it.

Microwaves don't work different ways on different substances. Whatever you put into the microwave suffers the same destructive process. Microwaves agitate the molecules to move faster and faster.

This movement causes friction which denatures the original make-up of the substance. It results in destroyed vitamins, minerals, proteins and generates the new stuff called radiolytic compounds, things that are not found in nature.

So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these 'Safe' appliances. What about the nurse in Canadathat warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed him when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe. But proof is in the pictures of living plants dying!!!

RELEASE PRIORITY: CLASS I ROO1a

Ten Reasons to dispose off your Microwave Oven

From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, one can conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by 'shorting out' electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2).The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4).The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5).Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7).Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumours]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in UK and America .

8).The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9).Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

THE ANTI-RADIATION DIET

Recommended Foods and Supplements to Help Protect Your Health and counter the effects of radiation.

A balanced body can heal itself … but it needs your help. It’s important to pay close attention to the foods and dietary supplements you consume. Here’s why.

Diet and your body’s susceptibility to radiation are closely entwined. Radiation and pollutants destroy vitamins A, C, E, K several N vitamins, essential fatty acids, calcium and neuro-hormones. If your body lacks calcium. Potassium and other nutrients, it will more readily absorb the radioactive elements that are similar in structure to these nutrients.

Your best bet is to eat natural, fresh, organic (as much as possible) unprocessed foods, avoiding, white sugar, red meat, refined wheat, caffeine and homogenized milk. Here is a list of widely recommended foods and food supplements that can help to balance your body chemistry. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it will give you a good starting place.

PROTECTIVE SUPPLEMENTS

1. Calcium/magnesium
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that calcium may prevent precancerous cells from becoming cancerous. It also protects against strontium 90 (similar structure to calcium) and other radioisotopes.
2. Vitamin A or beta carotene
This vitamin manufactures antibodies, maintains and protects mucus membranes, and protects the thymus gland, the master gland of the immune system. It helps guard against tumor formation and cancer, as well as reverses aging process of the skin caused by ultraviolet light
3. Coenzyme Q10
This substance protects against many chemicals and radiation, offering immense benefits to the immune system and retarding the aging process. Sufferers of heart problems, high blood pressure, angina, and obesity often find this substance to be helpful in managing symptoms. Natural levels decline with age; therefore, supplementation is needed.
4. Vitamin C + bioflavinoids and rutin
A protective dose of between 500mg and 2,000 mg can counteract toxins and radiation.
5. Vitamin E
Neutralizes harmful free radicals and protects delicate membranes.
6. Zinc
Helps strengthen the T-cell-producing thymus gland. Aim for 50 to 100 mg daily, available from grains, nuts, seeds and legumes.
7. Selenium
Selenium fights cancer and protects against carcinogens, by helping to produce a free radical scavenger called glutathione peroxidase.
8. Proanthocyanadins (Grape seed extract/Pycnogenol)
Considered to be one of the most powerful antioxidants or free radical scavengers, grape seed extract helps counteract stress, pollution and radiation
9. DHEA
The most dominant hormone in the body, DHEA is considered the “Fountain of Youth” hormone because it can help extend life span. DHEA helps counteract the negative effects of stress, boosts the immune system, regulates blood cholesterol and lowers blood pressure. It rebalances the hormones in the body, especially during menopause, slows the production of free radicals, and inhibits the growth of cancers and carcinogens. A good food source of DHEA is wild yams.
10. Melatonin
This valuable cancer-inhibiting hormone is often used to replenish the levels of melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that affects the sleep cycle, fertility and the immune system. It’s often used to prevent and counteract jet lag and can rebalance the pineal gland after electric field exposure.

PROTECTIVE FOODS

1. Chlorophyll-containing foods: barley grass and chlorella.
Chlorophyll closely resembles human blood and is used to cleanse, detoxify, purify and heal many con¬ditions. It retards bacterial growth, detoxifies heavy metals from the body, increases wound healing, detoxifies the liver and other organs, deodorizes the body, removes putrefactive bacteria from the colon, aids healing of 11 types of skin diseases, relieves ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis and other inflamma¬tory conditions, helps heal gum diseases, and inhibits radiation and the metabolic activation of many carcin¬ogens. Many studies have reported the protective effects of chlorophyll on irradiated animals.

There are pure chlorophyll supplements available if you don’t like to eat grass or algae. Better yet, try one of the following whole foods, all which are excellent sources of chlorophyll and other essential nutrients.

o Barley (wheat) grass is a totally balanced food. It contains all of the nutrients required for life¬; vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other proteins (a¬mino acids), essential fatty acids and chlorophyll. Barley grass has thousands of living enzymes (a special protein). Enzymes are nature’s biological catalysts that initiate all the chemical transforma¬tions in the body. Over 3,000 enzymes have been identified. They are required for every transforma¬tion in the body - digestion, cell respiration, bod¬ily movements, thinking processes, detoxification, cancer control, fat, protein and carbohydrate metabo¬lism, etc.
The normal daily amount of barley grass is 1-3 teaspoons (1 tsp = 2 grams). If you choose wheat grass (juice), start with one ounce daily and gradually increase to four or six ounces.

o Chlorella, a green freshwater micro-algae which has even more chlorophyll than barley (wheat) grass plus 55-65% protein with 19 amino acids including all the essential ones. It’s an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamins B-l, B-2, B-3, B-6, B-12, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin, PABA, inositol and vitamin C. Vitamin B-12 is especially important for vegetarians who may be deficient in this vitamin. Chlorella has more B-12 than liver. It also contains important minerals - iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, zinc, potassium, sulphur, iodine and trace amounts of manganese, sodium and chlorine.

Chlorella comes in a small pill form which may be more palatable to some people.

2. Miso
Made from naturally fermented soybeans, rice or barley, miso is a superior source of usable whole protein, aids digestion and assimilation, is low in fats, has a wonderful salty flavor, promotes health and helps neutralize environmental pollution including radia¬tion. The reason for Miso’s protectiveness is not really known. It was observed that the Japanese who ate miso everyday did not die from radiation-induced cancer after the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The observed effect of miso as a cancerostatic agent was further confirmed in a recent study in Japan.

 
3. Fermented (Lactic acid) vegetables and juices
Lac¬tic acid fermented foods possess medicinal properties and can in the biological treatment of many conditions, including cancer, ar¬thritis, multiple sclerosis, kidney and liver di¬seases, and digestive disorders. Sources include sauerkraut, beets, carrots, green and red pepper, beet tops, Swiss chard and celery.

 
4. Cultured (fermented) milk products: yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, unprocessed cheese.

Longevity studies indicate that groups of people who use cultured milk products in their diet live longer. Real yogurt is made from fresh whole (unhomogenized) milk with billions of living friendly bacteria, a minimum of honey or fructose, and perhaps some real fruit.

Yogurt, kefir and other fermented milks contain an unidentified substance that lowers chol-esterol. Yogurt is an excellent substitute for ice cream in milk shakes and smoothies. Use it on potatoes instead of sour cream. Make your own salad dress¬ings with yogurt, honey, vinegar and spices.

These products also contain friendly bacteria, such as lactobacillus acidophilus and other strains per¬form valuable duties in your colon. These bacteria colonize the colon and evict unfriendly, dangerous bacteria and other organ¬isms from your colon. These bacteria also synthe¬size germ-destroying antibodies in your colon.

5. Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, and greens such as kale)
This family of vegetables contain substances that inhibit breast and colon cancer cell growth. Cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables also contain dithiolthiones, a non-toxic group of compounds that have antioxidant, anti¬cancer and anti-radiation properties.

Sources include dark, leafy vege¬tables (broccoli, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, ro¬maine, endive, chicory, escarole, watercress, col¬lard, mustard and dandelion greens), dark yellow and orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins, winter squash) and fruits (cantaloupe, apricots, peaches, papayas and watermelon).

6. High-fiber foods: whole grains, fruits and vegetables
Epidemiological data suggests that a high-fiber diet protects against large bowel can¬cer perhaps for several reasons. It dilutes bowel carcinogens, decreases colon transit time and changes the composition and metabolic activity of the fecal flora and certain carcinogenic substances in the col¬on. That’s why it’s healthier to eat whole grains containing the bran and the fiber, and whole fruits and vegetables instead of their processed, partition¬ed counterparts.

7. Foods containing a natural Vitamin A
Such as lima beans, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, asparagus, tomatoes, onions and spinach), fruits (mango, grapes, avocado, pears, oranges plus the white under the peel and pulps, apples plus seeds and peeling, strawberries), all un¬sprouted seeds (especially sunflower, sesame and pump¬kin), all nuts (especially almonds and cashews), leafy green vegetables, carob and teas from fruit blossoms and leaves (peach flowers, strawberry leaves, cherry flowers, apple blossoms), and all grasses, such as wheat and barley.

The vitamin A analog, abscisic acid, is found in large amounts in the grasses, seeds, nuts, legumes, mature leaves, and fruits listed above and in the apri¬cot pit. The body makes abscisic acid in vivo (inside) from raw carrot juice and raw liver.

8. Sesame seeds – raw, ground (tahini) or in capsules.
Sesame seed oil contains a substance called Complex T, the primary effect of which is to increase blood platelets - a must for fighting infection.
If you don’t like pills, just eat raw sesame seeds or tahini. In addition to Complex T, sesame seeds contain valuable essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are important workers in the immune system.

9. Sea vegetables and their products
Sodium alginate, a non¬nutritious extract from Pacific kelp used to bind and detoxify heavy metals from the body (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.), and agar, used as a thickening agent instead of gelatin or corn starch, will protect the human body from radiation effects. They also reduce absorption of strontium 90 by 50-80%.

Kelp and dulse, excellent natural sources of iodine, help protect against radioactive iodine, found mostly in milk. When the diet is adequately supplied with organic iodine (as in kelp), radioiodine is not as readily absorbed by the thyroid or the ovaries. Kelp contains 150,000 mcg of iodine per 100 grams (32 ounces). The RDA of iodine is 150-200 mcg. A reasonable daily dose of kelp would be 1-2 teaspoons of granules or 5-10 tablets. Other high iodine foods include: seafood, beef liver, pineapple, eggs and whole wheat.

Note: Taking kelp as a source of iodine is much safer than drinking iodine or eating potassium iodide, which can be especially dangerous for pregnant women and can cause allergic reactions. Iodine (inorganic) is toxic because of its tendency to combine with pro-tein. That’s how it destroys bacteria (a protein). When you put iodine into your mouth, it combines with the protein there and in your stomach or wherever it goes. This causes irritation or worse. Also, sud¬den large doses of iodine in humans with a normal thy¬roid may reduce the synthesis of thyroid hormone.

10. Bee and flower pollen
Pollen is an excellent food containing all essential amino acids, vitamins A, D, E, K, C, bioflavanoids, B-complex (especially pantothenic acid and B-3), and 27 miner¬als.
Research has proven pollen to be beneficial in treating several diseases. Dr. Emil Chauvin (French Academy of Science) discovered bee pollen was beneficial in treating anemia (increases red blood cells and hemoglobin), chronic prostatis, constipation, flatulence and colon infec¬tions, especially diarrhea.

Dr. Peter Hernuss at the University of Vienna’s Women’s Clinic conducted a study involving 25 women with inoperative uterine cancer. All received radiotherapy. The 15 who took 20 grams of bee pollen three times a day tolerated the ra¬diation much better than the ten who took no bee pol¬len.

11. Essential fatty acids, GLA and EPA
EFAs are essential for proper functioning of the immune system and protects against cancer. Food sources include flax seed oil, evening primrose oil and certain fish, particularly salmon.

SPECIAL TEAS

1. Pau d’arco (also called ipe roxo, la pacho, taheebo, and bowstick tea).
An herbal tea from the inner bark of two trees that grow in the warmer part of South America (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, etc.). Many South American doc¬tors use a therapeutic tea from this herb to relieve pain and treat many conditions including leukemia and other forms of cancer, infections including yeast and other fungal conditions, skin rashes, and many other ailments.

Dr. Theodoro Meyer of the Univer¬sidad Nacional of Tucuman, a province of the Argen¬tine Andes, studied taheebo’s chemical composition and found a substance called xyloidin, an antibiotic capable of killing viruses. Dr. Prats Ruiz, M.D., of Concepcion, a city in Tucuman province, reported blood profiles of patients with leukemia before and after treatment with taheebo to document the effi¬cacy of taheebo in treatment of certain cancers. Clinical details are provided by Professor Carlos Hugo Burgstaller in his book on the medicinal flora of Paraguay and Argentina, LA VUELTA A LOS VEGETALES (Buenos Aires, 1968).

This tea was widely available in many health food stores until news of its anticancer claims became widespread. There is now an FDA effort to prohibit its sale in the United States. It has already been taken off the Canadian market to be “reclassified as an over-the-counter drug” because of the healing claims made for it. FDA approval of a drug for a specific use takes 8-12 years and costs about $56 million (1982 estimate).

2. SAFFRON TEA.

Not a Fairytale: America's First Public Food Forest
by Clare Leschin-Hoar, Original Story, Jun 08, 2012

Hungry? Just head over to the park. Seattle's new food forest aims to be an edible wilderness. (Photo: Buena Vista Images/Getty Images)
Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s first food forest.
“This is totally innovative, and has never been done before in a public park,” Margarett Harrison, lead landscape architect for the Beacon Food Forest project, tells TakePart. Harrison is working on construction and permit drawings now and expects to break ground this summer.
The concept of a food forest certainly pushes the envelope on urban agriculture and is grounded in the concept of permaculture, which means it will be perennial and self-sustaining, like a forest is in the wild. Not only is this forest Seattle’s first large-scale permaculture project, but it’s also believed to be the first of its kind in the nation.
“The concept means we consider the soils, companion plants, insects, bugs—everything will be mutually beneficial to each other,” says Harrison.
That the plan came together at all is remarkable on its own. What started as a group project for a permaculture design course ended up as a textbook example of community outreach gone right.
“Friends of the Food Forest undertook heroic outreach efforts to secure neighborhood support. The team mailed over 6,000 postcards in five different languages, tabled at events and fairs, and posted fliers,” writes Robert Mellinger for Crosscut.
Neighborhood input was so valued by the organizers, they even used translators to help Chinese residents have a voice in the planning.
So just who gets to harvest all that low-hanging fruit when the time comes?
“Anyone and everyone,” says Harrison. “There was major discussion about it. People worried, ‘What if someone comes and takes all the blueberries?’ That could very well happen, but maybe someone needed those blueberries. We look at it this way—if we have none at the end of blueberry season, then it means we’re successful.”

Our 5-yr-old: Alone But Not Lonely

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. --Wayne Dyer

Our 5-yr-old: Alone But Not Lonely
by Ragunath Padmanabhan, Jan 15, 2012

Our 5-yr-old son Aum had been playing on his own at the farm for two hours. About an hour into it, my wife Nisha admonished me: "You really enjoyed your childhood with your two siblings, kids in the neighborhood and at school.

Now look at him, being alone, no one to play with and nowhere to go. Do something!" 4 years ago, we'd made a conscious leap into a rural India, leaving high-tech careers in the Silicon Valley to do natural farming.

Nisha has just as much conviction about our decision as I do, and yet, on occasion, she and many other loved ones have genuinely felt bad because Aum does not have company. He is our only child and he doesn't go to school (we farm-school him) and there are only three kids in the nearby farms, none of whom have much time for him since they go to school).

Everyone in Aum's life is concerned about his loneliness. Except Aum and me. The evidence that he is not "lonely" or "bored" is right in front of everyone's eyes -- when we are not engaged with him, Aum is busy most of the time with his own thoughts, things, games, dancing, etc. Occasionally he throws in his share of mischief and tantrums, just to remind us that he is a kid. Otherwise, I have never seen him unhappy for the reasons most adults in his life feel he "should" be unhappy.

Aum does not have the company of his peers as much or as frequently as other kids. We don't have a TV at home. We have never bought him any toys except one lego set and one tinkertoys box that Nisha got after she felt bad about not having bought any toy for him. Most of his clothes are gifted by family and friends. We give him one or two candies a week and ice cream once a month. He doesn't have cookies, chocolates, carbonated drinks, fast food or any snack that comes in a package and is sold in a retail store. He must be one miserable kid, right? If I say, "No", one might respond with, "Well, he doesn't know what he is missing and he is being brought up in an extremely protective environment." Not true either.

He knows the reasons for all the choices we have made for him and he has willingly embraced them. In fact, he is ever-ready to explain his choices to anyone who wants to know. He has tasted/experienced everything other kids have and is presented the opportunities many times, given our frequent visits to many relatives and friends in different places. Of course he gets tempted at times and rebels. Steering away from the extremes of bribing and punishing, we manage to strike a balance and help him stick to his better choices.

He doesn't have grand ideas and concepts for what would bring him happiness. He is just fully living his life. Everything has meaning for him. He doesn't overlook this moment expecting another; he is not chasing after anything and has no plans for tomorrow. He goes around as if he has an unlimited reserve of energy, curiosity, time, faith and willingness to be engaged with whatever and whoever comes his way as if ... as if he intuitively knows what he wants. If he could answer the question "What do you want in your life?" it would probably be, "I don't know, but I want it all anyway, moment by moment." And he does not seem to be bothered if many of those moments are spent alone. But it does rattle quite a few others.

To my mind, the rural and middle-class people of the last generation and before, had the right perspective on elusive states like peace, happiness, joy etc. They communicated through many proverbs and clichés -- that meaningful engagement at work, being with family and friends and with oneself, pretty much covered all the real causes of happiness and peace. The meaning for engagement could come from both tragic and comic life situations (and more often than not, their lives were full of tragic meaning). People did not make decisions with the sole focus on whether it would make them happy. Happiness was just one of the considerations. Perhaps meaning was a more important consideration. There is no other way to explain sacrifices that I know of in history and even in my own family. My own father has always been a happy-go-lucky man all his life, in spite of having access to very limited resources, very few choices and very many responsibilities. I look at him and I know I can be happy, no matter what.

Being in the farming world, someone asked me recently whether there is a specific gene in fruits that give them sweetness. He speculated that if we could find that gene, then we could increase the quality and quantity of sweetness in fruits. But what if sweetness is not an isolated characteristic of a fruit? What if it is the culminating effect of the entire growth process -- from seed to ripening?

Of course, we don't eat fruit that is not ripe and sweet. But do we eat fruit only for its sweetness?

Would anyone be satisfied to extract only the sweetness of a fruit and take it as a tablet?

Can happiness, then, be had at any moment as an instant thing to be consumed?

Yet, we behave every moment of our lives as if our only aim is to avoid everything that would bring unhappiness and seek things that would bring happiness:

Being alone, having nothing to do, sacrifices, inconveniences, criticism, waiting, bad luck, randomness, an uncertain future ... these are supposed to bring unhappiness and we avoid them.
Constant engagement of mind/and or body with work, people or entertainment, selfishness, creature comforts, instant gratification, security, certainty, greed ... these are supposed to bring happiness and we seek them at any cost.

The Art of Happiness has been lost perhaps because by chasing it, we have chased it away. The Art of Suffering has been lost perhaps because by running away from it we have tightened its knot on us.
Many saints and religions have said that it is human nature to be constantly oscillating between cravings and aversions. Knowing this, throughout history, people in all cultures created norms, rituals, customs, traditions, practices, ceremonies and attitudes to contain excitement and embrace difficulties (the middle path, the golden mean). In fact, “to mature into an adult” was supposed to mean that one has learned to discern and implement his or her cultural baggage without superficially considering it as a burden. Even blindly following one’s culture was considered better than simply being blind to it. Yet that is precisely what seems to have happened on the backs of our over-sized, over-paced materialistic and technological growth. If we were to personify our zeitgeist, it would be a person with over-sized hands, legs and brain. And a small, feeble heart. No wonder we eat but we starve; we have more of everything and feel empty; we can do everything super-fast and yet do not have enough time for anything.

Our idea of moving to a farm in a village was to create a space from scratch in which we could reinvent many of those old, middle-path practices to suit our current potentials and pathologies.

Outside of the context of our farm (and sometimes even within), I find it difficult to follow these values and practices because, I guess, the human psyche has seen too much evidence of the inefficacy of the old secrets. I often feel like a fully-suited man in a beach. But it is only because we have hurriedly created suffocating spaces that have given birth to many unskillful and even vicious cycles. What we need are airy and nourishing spaces where we can relearn the old arts.

I am only 38, yet I feel like an old man of another era when I catch myself reacting to someone's complaints or ambitions that are normal in this era. I am neither poor, nor rich, nor middle class. I am in the process of going off-the-class. Yet, I'd like to keep the older middle-class attitudes towards life.

Without the aid of great philosophy or religion, all the secrets of everyday happiness - hard work, honesty, grit, grace, patience, wonderment, contentment, romance, even innocence – it was all there in that class. I'd like to be a permanent student in that class and have my son Aum be the teacher.

Greens - How to Use Your Garden Greens

Greens, Greens, and More Greens

Green. It seems like the only color represented in my refrigerator this time of year. It makes sense: kale, swiss chard, cabbage, bok choy, mustard greens, leaf lettuce…they’re all coming to harvest.

I must use them up!

Good news. Through word of mouth and trial and error we picked up several tips to help you avoid precious greens withering away in your field and fridge.

Whether growing them yourself, getting them in a CSA, or having them given to you by generous friends, greens can be tricky produce to use up each week.

Which brings us to the several ideas we use in our house to make sure the greens end up in our diet and not the compost pile.

Uses for Your Abundance of Greens

Salads

The obvious choice, salads, can often be kind of a ho-hum dish for your spectacular greens. Toss your salad with a homemade dressing, homemade croutons, dried fruit, and your favorite veggies to add a little excitement.

Even kale can be made into a delicious salad that won’t get soggy in the fridge if you store leftovers. Special preparation will ensure tender leaves so you’re not chewing for hours. Check out Matt’s technique for prepping kale for a salad.

I have recently gained an appreciation for cole slaw. It has been a great way to use up heads of cabbage and incorporate some other veggies like carrots, cucumber, red onion, etc. We have experimented with mayonnaise-based and vinegar-based slaws…vinegar slaw being the front runner. For my winning slaw, I doubled this recipe and used one head of Napa cabbage (instead of the bag of slaw mix the recipe calls for).

Chips

One summer, certain we had accidentally signed up for a Kale Share instead of a regular farm share, we discovered kale chips. Kale chips are easy to make and fun to snack on.

If you’ve never made kale chips before, there are several recipes and videos to get you started. I like this short video for tips on preparing and baking them.

Cook & puree

This is our method for quickly downsizing a large amount of greens into the smallest size possible…mostly so we can make room in the fridge. We have used this technique to process kale, mustard greens, and collard greens, but could be used for others as well.

After rinsing well, we cook the greens in water for about 8 minutes, using about 1½ cups of water per head of greens. The greens will cook down substantially. After cooking, strain water out of the greens. Add greens to a blender to make a nice, smooth puree. The puree can be frozen or stored in the refrigerator for more immediate use.

Pureed greens can be added to any dish that needs a nutrient boost. Hide a a tablespoon or two of the pureed greens in smoothies or homemade popsicles. (You can’t taste it!)

Soup or sauce

If you’re feeling brave, allow greens to show their true colors (literally) in a soup.
Matt recently used the “cook and puree” method and added some to a vegetable beef soup he made. Had it not been for the bright green color, I never would have known about the guest appearance greens were making in that soup.

Warning: You may have to come up with a fun name ahead of time if you anticipate your spouse and/or children are going to turn their noses up at it!

Greens can also be chopped and added to soups. I am dying to make a white bean and kale soup this summer. Or how about this soup with pasta and greens…looks delicious!

Have you ever experimented with greens made into sauces? Pesto is one of my favorite summer sauces to whip up. Make a pesto with various greens and serve over pasta, as a dip for veggies, or spread on crusty bread.

Wraps

Use greens to create a wrap containing some of your favorite traditional sandwich ingredients. Swiss chard is tender yet crunchy, making it a great shell for a veggie or meat sandwich.

Try a chard wrap stuffed with couscous, red bell peppers, shredded carrots, tomatoes, avocado, and fresh basil.

Stir Fry

Bok choy is the perfect addition to a fast weeknight stir fry dinner. An entire head can be chopped up and used with your other favorite wok-worthy ingredients. The leaves cook down wonderfully and the stems offer the perfect crunch to this dish.

Go Green

Don’t let that nutrient rich produce go to waste! (And don’t feel like you have to eat like a rabbit if your greens are spilling out of the fridge.)

Instead of letting the greens intimidate you, try some new tasty methods and utilize this season’s bounty.

Cyclicality: Missions and Metrics
by Sep Kamvar, Original Story, Jun 12, 2012

There is an old Zen story about a man riding a horse, galloping frantically down a path. His friend, who is sitting by the side of the road, calls out "Where are you going?" The man replies: "I don't know.

Ask the horse!"

When we build our tools, we often depend on metrics to guide our development. We keep graphs of unique visitors and pageviews and watch them closely. This keeps us honest. It's hard to convince anybody that we're building a useful tool if our metrics show that nobody is using it.

But we must take care when we use metrics. Metrics can be like the horse in the old Zen story. Once we decide on them, they have a habit of setting the agenda. As the old adage goes, what gets measured gets managed.

The standard metric for a country's economic welfare is GDP. I find this strange. If the government decided to give millions of dollars to the country's richest people so that they can buy yachts from one another, that would increase GDP. So would clearcutting our national forests to build strip malls, outsourcing the raising of our children, and incarcerating large swaths of our poor.

If we temper the language a bit, we might find that this description is not so far from reality.
My point is that metrics shape behavior. Joseph Stiglitz describes this mechanism nicely: "What we gather our information about, and how we describe success, affects what we strive for." Political leaders who want to grow the economy, he says, will focus policies on things that increase GDP, even when GDP does not correlate with societal well-being.

Which brings me to my second point: all metrics leave something out. Often, they leave the most important things out.

In 2007, Stanford offered a course called "CS377W: Creating Engaging Facebook Apps". The course assignment was to build a Facebook application that, according to the course website, would "focus on solving a problem for a broad audience." It was an intensively metrics-driven class, and the key metric was user numbers. By the metrics, the results were astonishing: in the course of the 10-week term, the apps collectively reached 16 million users.

The flipside was that the applications themselves were underwhelming. Most of them allowed users to do things like rank the attractiveness of their friends, send virtual hugs and have virtual pillow fights.

The substance of the applications reflected what the metric left out. If it were possible to measure the value of a user's attention, or how enriching an application is to her life, the course projects would likely have been quite different. But sometimes, the important things can't be measured.

It is useful, therefore, to have missions to balance our metrics. Of course, each tool should have its own mission. But if I were to suggest one mission for all tools, it might be this:

Every tool should nourish the things upon which it depends.

We see this principle at varying levels in some of our tools today. I call them cyclical tools. The iPhone empowers the developer ecosystem that helps drive its adoption. A bike strengthens the person who pedals it. Open-source software educates its potential contributors. A hallmark of cyclical tools is that they create open loops: the bike strengthens its rider to do things other than just pedal the bike.

Cyclical tools are like trees, whose falling leaves fertilize the soil in which they grow.

At the top of the stack, all tools depend on nature and human nature. They depend on the sun, trees, minerals, and fossil fuels to provide their raw materials and energy. They depend on the creativity of builders to give them form. And they depend on the attention of their users, without which they would languish.

An ecosystem of cyclical tools would therefore nourish nature and empower people. A fully cyclical software application may, for example, use peer-to-peer data centers powered by its users, consisting of biodegradable, fertilizing microprocessors. It would be open-source and provide APIs to empower the creativity of builders, and a clean design and useful purpose that cultivates the concentration of its users.

If some of this sounds like science fiction, so did manned lunar vehicles in 1950, or self-driving cars in 2000. We have a tendency to achieve what we focus on.

It’s difficult to build cyclical tools because the alternative is so tempting. Cars are faster than bikes.

FishVille reaches more people than Moby Dick. At first, cyclical tools appear to be lower-power, slower-growth, and more expensive than extractive tools.

But you can’t measure the impact of tools on their own. You must measure them by the ecosystems that they co-create.

Bangladesh rickshaw puller starts clinic for the poor
By Anbarasan Ethirajan BBC News, Mymensingh

Joynal Abedin started a clinic with his savings as a rickshaw puller, and then launched a coaching centre for children

• Bangladesh healthcare crisis
• Clampdown on rickshaws in Dhaka

Joynal Abedin still remembers the rainy and windy night when he saw his father die because there was no medical treatment.

His village in the northern Mymensingh district of Bangladesh did not have any medical facility at that time, and the nearest hospital was about 20km (12 miles) away.

The death of his father, about 30 years ago, changed the life of Mr Abedin, who was working as a farm labourer then.

He could not console himself and vowed to establish a basic medical centre in his village of Tanashadia, about 100km (60 miles) north of the capital Dhaka, so that lives of poor villagers could be saved.

Though he had the ambition, he had no money, so he set out for the capital Dhaka with his wife.

Mr Abedin vowed to start a clinic to help villagers after his father's death

"When I landed in Dhaka it was a new experience for us. We were amazed by the size and energy of the city. Initially, we were not sure how we could survive there," Mr Abedin, 61, remembers.

Like many other migrants, he started pulling a rickshaw. But it was not easy in the city's busy traffic. Gradually, he learnt how to negotiate swerving cars and trucks. For two decades, Mr Abedin pulled rickshaws, carrying passengers and goods from one point of the city to another.

His wife, Lal Banu, managed to find a job as an assistant in a local clinic. But Mr Abedin always kept a secret from his wife.

He opened a bank account to save money and start a health clinic in his village. His wife did not know about it.

"Sometimes my wife used to argue with me for not bringing enough money to run the family. But I always saved some money. Even during difficult times, I never touched my savings," Mr Abedin recalls.

After he had saved more than $4,000 (£2,550) Mr Abedin decided to return to his village.

End QuoteJoynal Abedin

It was a surprise move as villagers who come to Dhaka seeking livelihoods normally prefer to stay in the capital - given its better hospital and school facilities - and better basic services.

Mr Abedin bought a small plot of land with his savings. He built a tin roof house for himself and then built another shed for the clinic.

With the remaining money he bought a few tables and beds for the clinic.

When he shared his idea of starting a clinic with his fellow villagers, they did not take him seriously.

"People were making fun. They did not believe that a rickshaw puller could start a clinic. Even doctors were not willing to come to this centre," reminisces Mr Abedin.

Mr Abedin named his clinic as Mumtaz Hospital. He initially requested a paramedic to give first aid treatment.

The clinic treats several people every day

As the news went out, more villagers came to the clinic to get basic treatment. Those with serious conditions were referred to a hospital in the town of Mymensingh.

Every day, the medical centre treats around 100 patients. A local paramedic treats patients in the clinic and a doctor pays a weekly visit.

With the help of some individuals and companies Mr Abedin has also set up a basic pharmacy, which distributes medicines for free to the patients.

The health centre treats minor ailments like fever, diarrhoea and simple injuries and helps those who suffer from asthma.

It also has a small maternity ward, but those with complications are immediately referred to a hospital. The staff members also talk to rural women on maternal health and child care.

Hospital dream

Villagers from neighbouring areas speak highly of Mr Abedin's work. They commend the former rickshaw puller's determination and courage.

"This hospital helps poor people like us in this area. The government hospital is far away and I cannot afford private clinics. So, I come here whenever I require treatment and it's free," said Abdul Malik, a farmer living in a nearby village.

When the local media reported on his work and his clinic, some individuals donated money to him, which he used to build a couple of more tin roof sheds and started a coaching centre for primary school students.

The coaching centre caters to the children of day labourers and farmers. More than 150 students are studying Bengali, Arabic and basic maths and English.

The clinic is popular with locals, and has received praise from local media

"Though it is not a proper hospital, Mr Abedin's clinic offers vital support to the villagers. He has become a role model in our country," Lokman Hossain Miah, a senior government official in Mymensingh district, told the BBC.

"We have given free books to the students there and are also trying to arrange donations from individuals for the clinic."

It is unusual in a country like Bangladesh for a rickshaw puller to invest his entire savings to start a clinic for others.

Rickshaw pullers are among the bottom rung of society and earn less than a dollar a day.
Mr Abedin stopped being a rickshaw puller late last year because of ill health. He spends his time looking after his clinic.

"Previously, when I was a rickshaw puller, people use to ignore me and I faced lots of abuse. Now people are showing respect, they are inviting me to their houses to have tea with them. This would have never happened if I had been a normal rickshaw puller," said Mr Abedin.

"My dream is to convert this clinic into a full-fledged hospital with the help of the government and other donors."

Your New Golden Age Part II Your God Presence holds the key to living in the new Golden Age, for only as that Self—which is always and only in the present—can your mind, heart and body see and feel the natural world around you as the paradise it truly is. Living in paradise is a state of mind and a state of being that supports whatever will truly initiate and sustain a Golden Age on every level of life. The world around you was originally created to sustain everyone’s wellbeing and humanity was given the responsibility to create whatever would maintain that wellbeing. You have always been the creators of your world and now a clarion call has gone forth inviting you to build a more loving world that will truly support everyone, as well as the beauty and the wonder of the natural world. ~ The Elohim (the beings who assist you in creating your world) The great Love and Light of Source is expanding its frequencies within the etheric sphere of energy that is around your body. In the center of this sphere is a Divine Spark that is encoded with the unlimited energies of Source. That Spark is also seeded in your Spiritual Heart and the heart of your Presence and it has been with you since your first inception from out of the womb of the Creator that contains both the male and the feminine essences of Source. The consciousness of your Presence that is seeded in your Divine Spark is now being revitalized and expanded to assist you in remembering how to create as your Presence within a unified field of Source Love and Light. Your year of 2012 is a vital turning point in your evolutionary journey as it continues to amplify your ongoing potential to create and live from a reality base that is outside of all the limiting thoughts and feelings that have ever established the fear-based consciousness that is still prevalent in much of the 3rd dimensional world. It is from the consciousness of your Presence that you will be calling upon the higher dimensional frequencies of Source to create your new Golden Age and this is why those frequencies have been accumulating within the sphere around your body as well as within the etheric energies of your Spiritual Centers. These Centers are now beginning to hold the Divine energies that will be a natural part of your life in the new Golden Age. Many of you are seeing and feeling the magnetic pull of the Great Love and Light that is calling you deeper into the God Self you truly are. When you become more deeply aligned with your original Divine Spark, this relationship becomes increasingly more palpable to your mind, your feeling nature and your physical body. As you go through the Great Shift of the Ages, you will sense, feel and know it is this alignment that gives you an increasingly more palpable experience of living as your God Presence on Earth. If the full embodiment of your Presence is your chosen focus for 2012, then everything and anything that needs to be transformed out of your old paradigm programming is going to arise to be converted back into the Love and Light of Source. When that occurs, know that all is more than well and everything that is happening in your life is a blessing. If you continue to maintain a deep sense of gratitude no matter what your life looks like in this moment, then you will find your life changing in unexpected positive ways because gratitude is a magnet for your good, whereas discontent pushes away your good and it can even repel those who may want to love you more than you know. Gratitude is a vital step in transforming, loving free and lifting out of your life any limiting 3rd dimensional thoughtforms that may still be supporting the duality/fear/separation matrix that has been the foundation of life on your Earth for a very long time. As this old information moves up and out of the cells of your body, you will start feeling more and more of the internal and external freedom that is completely natural to your Presence and to living in a glorious new Golden Age of Freedom.

Today’s massive, ongoing Shift in consciousness is a shift from intellectual awareness to holistic awareness.

Intellectual awareness is a function of the solar plexus chakra, where mental ability is developed in a linear direction. Examples of linear thought include the performing of arithmetic and the operating of machinery. In this mode of consciousness, people have learned to develop a rigid discipline of “seeing is believing” in order to find what works and what doesn’t.

With holistic awareness, the heart chakra is developed, allowing issues of separation to be resolved and integrated. Holistic awareness means that mind, body & spirit are seen as closely related facets of the human being. This heart-centered awareness is a viewpoint of integration or wholeness which heals the fears and discords that come with solar plexus consciousness.

There is a paradox with moving from linear intellect to heart-centered consciousness. While the intellectual phase of consciousness may say that “Seeing is believing,” the holistic phase requires quite the reverse. In holistic consciousness, opposites are often both true as they are seen as opposite sides of the same coin or as polar opposites of the same issue.

Awareness that is limited to the intellect is subject to issues of separation; of us versus them, of struggling for resources that are perceived as scarce instead of solving the problem of their scarcity. Holistic awareness includes the idea that consciousness creates realities, that something must be created in consciousness – “believed” – before they can become a reality.

So, in holistic consciousness, “Believing is seeing” becomes a statement of truth, even though it is the opposite of “Seeing is believing.” Instead, it adds the understanding that reality is created by consciousness. We are not merely observers of what is. We create what is.

Traditionally, people have entered a realm of holistic, heart-centered awareness when they pass on from this life. In the afterlife, their task is to heal the fears and hates of their physical lives and transform them into love and forgiveness, thus integrating themselves with others, rather than feeling separate from them.

Today, due to The Shift, more and more people are embracing holistic, heart-centered consciousness while still alive in physical bodies. As the heart is also the gateway to spiritual consciousness, this global movement is producing a revolution in spiritual unfoldment.

Spiritual consciousness is flowering in the global consciousness of humanity as The Shift progresses. Today’s pioneers in consciousness are people just like yourself. They are exploring the new territory of unconditional love and experiencing a reunion with their own inner, spiritual connections.

The higher aspect of heart-centered consciousness is fully connected to your inner being, or soul. Your inner being is fully connected to the consciousness of the universe and to that which created the universe. Infinite Being is within each of us. We are Infinite Being.

The daily focus that we apply to our five senses and their connection to the outside world is just like performing a part in a play. We act out the part of being us, along the general theme of the type of events that we planned for this life. We ride along through the journey of this life, gaining the type of experiences that we planned to gain.

When you open up to your heart, and through that, reconnect to your own spiritual source, then you have become a part of the very future of humanity.

The Shift is heading towards a world where unconditional love and acceptance is normal, where strife is relegated to the distant past, where the true potential of human beings can express itself in the daily joy of being all that you are.
