Miracles are happening as we embrace this Day of Love, which is celebrated in the outer-world as Valentine’s Day. The Beings of Light who are assisting us from On High have stated that the magnitude of what is occurring within the hearts and minds of the masses of Humanity is glorious beyond our comprehension. After the life-transforming events of 2011, Humanity entered the auspicious year of 2012 on a wave of unity consciousness beyond anything we had ever experienced. Now the Earth is receiving greatly amplified waves of Solar Light that are allowing our I AM Presences to activate our pineal glands and open our Crown Chakras of Enlightenment to new breadths. This is enabling people everywhere to hear the inner voice of their I AM Presence and the celestial guidance from the Company of Heaven in new and profound ways. This act of Divine Intervention is causing a powerful shift in the mass consciousness of Humanity. This miraculous event is reversing the adverse effects of our fall from Grace.

After the fall we fell into such dense frequencies of duality and separation that our Crown Chakras closed causing our spiritual brain centers to atrophy. That tragedy caused us to forget that we are supposed to consciously receive guidance from our I AM Presence and the Company of Heaven as we sojourn through our Earthly experiences. Our descent into chaos also caused our 12 strands of DNA to short circuit into the double helix DNA that our scientists are exploring. At a cellular level the fragmented double helix of DNA provides barely enough information for the body to sustain brain consciousness.

Now, everything has changed! The transformation that has happened within the collective consciousness of Humanity during the past 25 years has provided us with a brand new opportunity. Our I AM Presence is at long last reclaiming dominion of our lives, and we are in the process of healing the fragmented circuitry of our original 12-strand DNA. Now we are ready for the next phase of the Divine Plan. This part of the plan will prepare every man, woman, and child for our Ascent into the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of our New Solar Reality. It will move us a quantum leap forward in our transfiguration from carbon-based planetary Beings into 5th-Dimensional Crystalline-based Solar Light Beings. A critical part of this Divine Alchemy consists of encoding the patterns of perfection for our New Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love into the Twelve 5th-Dimensional Solar Strands of DNA that our I AM Presence is NOW activating within us.

With Humanity’s conscious participation in this process of Divine Alchemy, our I AM Presence can easily recalibrate and encode our DNA with our new planetary cause. These patterns of Divine Love reflect the Immaculate Concept of the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Solar Light that we are Ascending into.

Scientists used to believe that our DNA was stationary and stagnant. We now know that our DNA is a shimmering, waveform configuration that is being modified by Light, Solar radiation, magnetic fields, thoughtforms, and sonic impulses. When our I AM Presences collectively imprint the genetic codes for our 5th-Dimensional Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love onto our DNA, these patterns will ignite every cell in our bodies and be secured in the nucleus of every atomic and subatomic particle of Life on Earth. Once this is accomplished, suddenly and miraculously nothing will be the same.

The NEED OF THE HOUR is for all of us to join hearts and minds as we download the programs from the Causal Body of God that will encode our DNA with the patterns for our New Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love. Through the Grace of God, a powerful downloading process has been given to Humanity by the Company of Heaven. By utilizing this Gift from On High, we will cocreate a living, ever-expanding Forcefield of Divine Love that will assist all of us to awaken, our families, our friends, and even the most recalcitrant people. The Company of Heaven said there is no better time to begin the process of encoding our DNA with the patterns of Divine Love than on this day dedicated to Love. Repeat this activity of Light daily for a while until you feel a sense of completion.

Downloading Programs for our Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love

It is done. And so it is.
Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM.

                 ~*~   ASCENSION   ~   A Quantum Leap in the Evolution of Consciousness   ~*~

        I feel certain that the above line is more than an accurate description of the transformational event occurring on Earth now.  Very soon, in the not too distant future when time does not exist (we will be living in the Now), new words will be replacing our old vocabulary  -  far more accurate words when everyone's consciousness is expanded and awakened to their true divinity within.

        A person will no longer be called 'stupid' for their actions.....'unaware' is a better description, is just one example.  At present, the time-bound modes of consciousness in 3D, deeply embedded in the human psyche, are being transformed in the collective consciousness as people become more awakened.   This will take us into a new state of consciousness away from the idea of separation: from each other and from the Divine.

        The breaking up of old mind patterns or limited thinking, which have dictated our civilization over eons, will rid the earth of humankind's unimaginable suffering including constant wars.   Every soul's co-operation in breaking up these old mind-sets is imperative for the survival of the human race.   Focus on going forward and not looking back will set the momentum for permanent change.   

Namaste  ~  Love

Channeling of Sanat Kumara Through Athene Raefiel August 2011

Dear precious beings of Light and Love. As you approach the ending to another year in 3D time you find that much unexpected adventures and also powerful initiations have filled your entire year up till now. There is more to come.

From the year 2008 earth time to the year 2013 the tumultuous planetary effects will continue to move the energies along. You have already discovered that you are reaching new heights in your meditations and consciousness. This time has been spoken of previously as the time of things never before seen or experienced by any on the planet.

Of course this is a bit embellished as there are always ascended ones in your presence and upon your planet who have attended and do attend all the Councils of Light, The Brotherhood of Light and all Galactic Councils.

To sum things up let us look at the progression of spiritual evolution now taking place in all dimensions. As many of you have heard before, it is imperative for one dimension to evolve in order for another to evolve. When you call upon our assistance and find your higher- self working with us you discover that you all are part of the great unique unit of life that continually expands and grows. For those of you who understand and use this concept as a way of life nothing under the sun is really new, simply different.

Our channel tells us that she is waking up in a different world of existence every day. Some nights she wishes not to sleep as she finds peace in the world and dimension of thought she discovered that very day. Holding the memory of one day versus another is currently near impossible. This is how quickly the Universe and Energies are currently shifting. Each day is filled with a vast array of energy transmissions and transitional forces that apply in all areas and lives. What could be created in a month or year or over a lifetime is now apparent in a matter of minutes.

Each of you working within creation to create anew is finding elements of life and self you never imagined. You are also finding that this great revolution in the timing of humankind is and can be vicious without the proper training of emotional and mental thought processes. So many days you wonder how one person can make a difference in all of the chaos surrounding them and the world today. Remember that one strong emanation of loving light and understanding is far greater than ten thousand who are not of such. Power is relative. What you understand to be powerful is often the illusion that life around you brings forward and enmeshes you within as a web catches a fly. Some of you tell us that it is harder and harder to stay centered and aligned. You tell us the energies are moving so rapidly that there is nothing to hold onto or maintain as a template for tomorrow or another time. All this is true, the ever-changing nature of the Universe and Life right now seem to be a bit unnerving to the observer. Rather than observing you must participate and hold the essence of truth and light already discovered as your template for success. Stop stressing over what you do not know and start taking stock of what you do.

All the exercises and tools that you have gathered over the course of time will take you to new heights in awareness and understanding just as they have always done. We are still here and part of your consciousness just as you are ours. This journey you call life is and always has been connected to us and all other life.

This essence, this energy of change and transition, is currently accelerated to a pace never before participated in by you. Simply because you do not remember it does not mean it is not known and real. Even though you have moved through great hardships and challenging times of survival still you fear the unknown? What of all the newness to be created by you in the months and years ahead?

Since the only constant in the Universe is change, life too must change every day. You can depend on it. Yet how often do you embrace change as a way of life and being? So many of you have prayed for the changes now occurring to implement themselves and change the structures of governments and men. Yet you find that these very changes have impacted your personal lives as well, and with that you are not necessarily pleased. How could any one major area of life and liberty change without it affecting the whole?

Yes there are powerful changes yet to come and it is not necessarily going to become easier to be living a human existence. Yet each day holds its own newness and rewards. Flowing with the times and the changes are mandatory to your survival issues. You are never too old or stuck to learn some new things and transition into areas of life that are productive, fulfilling and practical. There is no time to separate and disseminate yourself now from the cosmic flow of life that is transitioning through so many phases and stages. All is already ordered and you are required to re-wire yourself if you feel you are being left behind.

I cannot stress enough the importance of changing old programs and creating ones that are more aligned to your true inner beingness of love and understanding. Fear is an awesome creature that consumes and then belches out the smoke. Fear feeds on the unexpected in life like it is a disease, which it is not. Fear is the greatest illusion you currently face and it is currently on a feeding frenzy. What you fear, you already know and understand, you simply have not yet remembered this truth.

You must all begin to speak with yourselves asking what am I truly afraid of and why? Well to answer this question briefly, all fear is based on the experiences that bad things happen in life every day. So feeding strongly into this belief system and condition simply perpetuates its truth and makes it reality. Is that what you want to be your reality? You cannot claim to be an authentic being that lives in truth and awareness when you choose to feed the very animal that is destroying mankind and your planet.

Good that you were created in the Divine image, now just imagine the Holy of Holies feeding the very beast wanting to consume it for supper later. This would never occur. Where to begin to re-wire and structure your knowing and loving awareness is the key to surviving and ascending this round or incarnation known as the physical life.

You actually live in so many worlds of thought and consciousness that you are creating realities in many levels and dimensions of not only thought, emotion and body, but also the etheric, astral, casual and celestial. Focus your attention now on the fact that you are the creator of the Universe and Cosmos and tell us what you see the future hold for that. Yes it is true that we are here to assist you with the vision of truth and light but to believe that you can create a better life and future through fear is just dysfunctional imbalance. You have seen this done over and over again by governing bodies and peoples around you and the world, how is that to produce the new changes of loving light and awareness needed to bring back the balance of love and fear?

We say unto you; trust is the element in this lifetime that is missing. Trust has been demolished by powers of money, avarice and greed, and continues to overtake the good of the many for the sake of the few. And as the times get harder monetarily, more and more teachings of how to create money, wealth and success become the big sellers.

There is nothing wrong with abundance and growth, just as there is nothing wrong with discovering your true self and path of soul evolution. There is no judgment on our part, just simply dismay as we watch so many fall prey to a past reality that really never existed to begin with. Unfortunately in your 3d world seeing is believing and having the important creature comforts helps one to believe in the ultimate true realities while others struggle to climb the ladder of success.

There are always opportunities for transition and change, even in the 3D world. You may have to change your perception and re-educate yourselves, in the academics of life on your planet to take advantage of them, but what do you think all your spiritual training has been about? While you were changing yourselves on the inside the outside world took a curve and also changed. Would you deny this to be true? No of course not. So as the leaders of the New Age of Enlightenment why are you giving up and feeding the fear with all those who believe that the Universe is unsympathetic and does not care and provide. We cannot do it for you but we certainly will do it with you, while seeing you through this primary time of acceleration and change.

You are all awesome and so intelligent. Through self-discovery you know what your own talents and abilities are about and how they can bring relief to a world in pain and turmoil. Find a way to use your natural abilities. Discover placements in jobs and life that you may think yourself above and understand that what matters is that the entire job of transformation of planet and peoples continue. Get out of your own way by idealizing yourself to be greater than anything or anyone else. Nirvana is a state of consciousness not necessarily a current way of life on your planet.

You are the representatives of the Universal Laws, truths and awareness that are needed to uproot the very indigent weeds that have taken hold of nearly every element of life in the solid earth plane. To go off to the mountain tops and caves now to be solitary is not going to help the mass consciousness change its perception.

Many of you have been asking to move, or be moved, too much quieter and safer havens as the changes accelerate in the so called “everyday world’. So long as you understand that no matter where you go you are necessary part of the changes that will bring about the new perceptions that is fine. If you think you have moved beyond the need to be of service to the whole, please think again. No matter where you re-locate in this world your services will be needed and your path will still remain your path. Make yourselves happy.

There is but one truth in life. You are that truth, we are that truth and truth is that truth. Truth being ever expansive and ultimately the only serenity you have in life, would you not prefer that it be known by all, rather than the selective few? Yes it has been prophesied many times that a certain number of beings will ascend and find salvation with the divine in each incarnation, your soul group decided it could be done on a much larger scale. Now you must follow through and aid in the changes that have been brought forth to assist the many.

Your very thoughts and actions determine the path in the future for the many. If you give up on your vision in middle stream, simply because of survival stigmatisms, what are you teaching others? There is no giving up only surrender. Surrender is actually a form of integration that goes a long way towards healing the whole. When you understand that forgiveness and surrender are the most powerful tools in your toolbox you will utilize their exquisite powers more readily and often.

Look at the wars that have been fought with love and compassion, look at Gandhi and Tibet. What can you discover from such experiences? Because others were more vicious and unaware, have they truly succeeded in undoing the loving truths of goodness, compassion and diplomatic understanding? No, what has happened is the Spiritual warrior has become more aware but has still not lost its focus of love.

A Laureate of Peace the Dali Lama has had a great impact on the minds and feeling of the Human race as has the great Gandhi. Can one person make a difference? We think so, do you? Yes this is a time of war among the beings of your planet, but that does not mean the spiritual warrior has lost its power or place in the immediate whole of all that transpires. Your energies are needed more than ever before in this lifetime at least since 1969. When you decide that being a spiritual warrior is waste of time and that you give into the daily pain of the world you are leaving thousands of souls without the energy and hope that they need. Please think again. For each one of you are a power beyond explanation and needed very much for the continuing cycles of change to come.

Why me, why this lifetime, why is life so hard? What difference does it make? Life is what it is and the sooner you accept the reality of who and what you are the sooner you will get on with it. We are currently in a non-stop cycle. Dwelling in the past or vacillating on what will come is a waste of time and energy.

Open yourselves, create, explore and find the adventure in your life. Making everything work is a human condition... Do what you know needs to be done for the sake of doing it and understand that this is part of the plan and nature in the 3D? Yes everyone like you has moved to the Fourth Dimension or the Heart of understanding unconditional Love as well as balancing it with Conditional Love but if others cannot get there then what accomplishments will you herald at the time of your crossing wanting to ascend?

Yes being in the now is exquisite and beautiful but if you are not in good company who is there to share with? You know that within the Spiritual realms we all work together as brothers and sisters of Love and Light, yet you think there is some magic individualization that we have not told you about. This is not true. All things here are connected and work as one. This awareness and understanding is what makes the truth what it is. The whole is no greater than the sum of its parts. The “All” is the “Whole” but what makes it so is the parts. Play your part with honor and integrity. Honor your own intuition and open your heart to the new levels of awareness and understanding now presenting themselves. Do not let the threat of survival shut down anything or everything you have attained and worked for so many incarnations simply because it is an old genetic memory that you feel you cannot shake. That memory is a lie.

Quit perpetuating the lie and return to the pristine state of loving light and awareness you know to be truth. Time in your 3D world is of the essence. Great changes are in store for each of you and the Planet as a whole. Stay on board.

By Athene Raefiel

Mother Earth is trying to balance herself. She has and will always do what is necessary to harmonize the nature of the Planet. The news media portrays her to be cruel and violent when in reality she is simply doing what any other Mother would do to protect her abode and young life.
We are merely at the beginning of what will be world conflict brought about by natures need to harmonize and balance. Rather than us killing, torturing, creating wars and fighting for the greatest power and wealth we need to be unifying as a world in crisis to save ourselves and the planet. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this fact; it is plain as day.

The Andes Indians came down out of the mountains in about 1995 to tell us of the devastation humans were creating to nature and her cycle of life. Many did not even know these people existed or that they had been living in the mountains there in natural harmony with the Earth for thousands of years.

Landmasses started moving when the large underwater Earthquakes began setting off Tsunamis in between 2001 and 2004. Old Volcanoes coming back to life after lying dormant for thousands of years is going to continue as the water levels continue to rise and we are having more and more earthquakes world wide.

When Earthquakes occur on the Ocean Floors then the floors begin shifting. This sets off massive changes globally. It is a domino effect, a chain reaction of sorts. Since the Ocean floors make up two thirds of our Planet Earth they are sure to effect all and everything else on the planet.

Since species upon species of Aquatic Sea life has been becoming extinct, the oceans have created a momentum to save themselves. The waters have the greatest power known to this planet and all of its life. The oceans can supply us with all the power needed to heat homes, run vehicles, create electricity and feed us, yet we fill it debris trash, oil spills and over-fishing as well as over-hunting for hides and trinkets we do not need.

If there were a conspiracy theory, I think I would say that we are all living a lie perpetrated by great minds who see the developing world as an entity unto itself that can control not only nature itself but also the nature of life living upon it.

If the greatest wealth in the world is actually distributed between less than one percent of the population then for those few there would be little to gain if it were not for free trade, market and big oil.

The United States has all the resources it needs to take care of itself and yet we depend on other nations for almost all of our food, clothing and practical needs. Survival has become such a powerful entity in our life that we no longer have time to be with ourselves or by ourselves. We have no time to relax and enjoy family, to plant some vegetables and enjoy a sunrise or sunset. While in many third world countries people are being starved and tortured, babies thrown in boiling water and killed simply because others can do it to them without fear of reprimand.

We have lost our balance as a civilized world and we have lost our way as Divine Beings. Everyone has an agenda and almost all believe they are the only righteous ones in Gods eyes.

All wars continue to be about Religion, Resources or Simple insanity. War has no common sense value at all nor does it serve any true Divine Entity. It is always selfish and never selfless except for the warriors dying.

Where is the conscience of the world? When did we quit believing that each and every person has a responsibility to Mother Earth and Nature to honor the life within and upon it?

Depression, sadness and mental illness are becoming a way of life for massive amounts of people. Animals are losing their sense of direction and becoming more violent as humans lead the way. Some species even of insects have just decided to become extinct as they too no longer sense the beauty and love of nature necessary for them to survive.

We as lightworkers have nothing to work with but the Light and Love of the Divine. We are Spiritual warriors fighting always an uphill battle for a place at the table that will allow us to be heard amid the brain jamming devices as well as the brainwashing that accompanies the masses.

Yes we have Nobel Peace Laureates that we adore and appreciate, but by and of themselves, they too must continually battle energies that find them to be a threat to the very core of the negative power structure.

The poles are shifting ladies and gentlemen at an unprecedented rate, see (http://www.greatdreams.com/spinaxis.htm ) just as the glaciers are melting. www.sciencedaily.com/, http://spaceweather.com/ Here are a few other websites to tell you about Solar activity and other Earth Changes as well.

I share these things with you not to frighten you but to educate. Too many of my friends have already quit reading, National Geographic, watching the news or even reading a newspaper, because they feel they are better off just not knowing the truth of the 3D world around them. I do not believe the answers lie in burying my head in the sand.

Human consciousness is strong my friend and every one of us have the potential to change our own consciousness in order to effect the whole.

We must re-program our own thinking, feeling and believing in order to stay on track. There are many beings that have moved into the awareness that they're energetic beings of consciousness over this past century. Some have chosen to live lives as peaceful warriors away from the fray of the rest. I do not believe this an option for me this lifetime. I believe that we must educate and inspire more and more individuals to find consciousness and learn to use it to change the world happenings.

We as a unit within the Divine Light of Source and all of its Hierarchies and Galactic Brotherhoods have the power to shift the Earth and its inhabitants to a new evolutionary path. We may not be able to stop the devastation that will be wrought by Mother Earth to re-balance herself but we can help her as well all species of life still upon her but we must act daily.

Suggestions for Daily Living:

Teach and share only what you practice yourself.

Recycle and reuse at every opportunity, be the example.

Each day you go outside greet the sky the earth the trees the animals and pay honor to Earth, Air fire and Water, North, East South and West.

Avoid wastefulness.

Change your thoughts to positive thoughts if they tell you negative things.

Do affirmations for the beauty and love you want and need in your life.

Look through anothers eyes before you judge.

Take time to breathe and be with yourself.

Learn to like and love yourself.

Learn to Meditate and discover multi-dimentional thought and knowingness.

Anchor Light and Love each morning and night.

Sample of Affirmations:

I am, I am, I am, a child of the Divine Light
I am, I am, I am, special in my own right
I am, I am, I am, sacred as is all life.

I deserve to free to be me. I am worthy to feel joy and beauty.

I am open to receive Divine Light and Love always.
I am a soul and spirit light.

I deserve to have abundance in my life on all levels.

        Our everyday life and activities are valuable tools for our spiritual growth when we become aware of the opportunities that present themselves every day.   Being aware of this is what I call skillful living.   The era we are presently in is going through a transformation never experienced on Earth before, so if one is serious about moving forward from the present way of life, then awareness of these opportunities for advancement is necessary.

        Every aspect of life will change when we move into a less dense existence.   Currently there are structures of society that are crumbling, making room for a fairer, more altruistic way of living.   We are spiritual beings who took on a physical body to experience hardship in a lower spiritual realm, but the times are changing and every soul on earth now who calls themselves a Lightworker or an aware soul needs to continue walking that path with strong faith and love as their sword for fighting off complacency and feelings of defeat or powerlessness.

        Each day presents itself with new challenges for each soul.   When one stops and thinks about it, it is almost like our higher-self has created scenarios for us to learn another lesson about an aspect of life.   When we have those days that we may call 'mundane', make the most of it, for they are rest days!   Sometimes we may feel as though we are repeating a lesson, or making the same mistakes.....yet again!   Being human, I am sure we can all relate to that one.   That is when these scenarios are presented time and again until the lesson or the deeper meaning of these experiences can be understood.   Afterall, this is the last time that we will experience life in a dense form in a third dimensional society, and whatever presents itself we should grab it and see what it holds for us to enable further spiritual growth.

        We raise our vibrations each time we clear away whatever is holding us back in life.   Many people choose to hang onto painful memories that happened a long time ago, but this is just holding them back.  Anything that happened in the past is old energy, and the event was experienced in that time.   Letting go is part of the ascension into a higher dimension  -  when one ascends into 5D one is living in the present moment, always.  Living in the Now is good practice, it also keeps your energies and your awareness in the moment.   That is how you expand your aura because as you learn to live in the Now, your energy expands in that space.   Try it and you will see just how much you can expand your light by living in the present moment.

         Spiritual transformation is  realizing the true self and experiencing self-awareness through meditation as well as utilizing every opportunity that presents itself to you in your daily life.   This involves being mindful of our words, actions and thoughts.   The more we turn inwards, the closer we get to our true selves.   There is another world that exists within every soul, and that IS the real world.   It contains everything we need to become self-contained and self-sufficient because we are all part of the Divine Source of Life.  The deeper we go within, the more we will discover that all the knowledge and energy we need is and has always been with us.   The outside world is created by man's mind, our inside world is pure Divinity!   This needs to be discovered before we can ascend to a higher dimension, because that means we have left behind the previous dimension by expanding our consciousness through self-realization and transcending the lower ego.   There is much work to do.

Namaste and Love  ~

Tara Mary.

                                      ~*~       Animals  are  my  favourite  people.       ~*~

                                                        So  full  of  love  .............

                           I have a bad cold today and a very sore throat, but, I am also feeling an

                              immense amount of Love within, and also a lot of blissful moments.

                              I know I am clearing out again today, and Sai Baba is right with me,

                               showing his face in my mind, and also seeing him right beside me.

                               I feel content and very assured about humanity's future even with

                                                all the turmoil happening on Earth right now.

                               It is like my cold, painful but necessary to clear something out that

                                      is no longer needed, to make room for something better!

                                     I hold that space of spiritual transformation for the planet

                                               and the people, and a better way of living!

                                                     Let that be our vision every-day !

                                                        ~  NAMASTE and Love to All  ~

        Sometimes grace does not appear in a form that we may recognize.  It may arrive unseen, like the sweet dew at dawn.  Grace may burst upon us like waves in a torrent of joy, or it may knock at our door wearing a disguise  -  a blessing hidden in the clothes of misfortune.

        Grace manifests in many ways.  Protection from accidents or disasters is one of the most startling ways in which it might appear.  But we may not always be aware when we have been saved from calamity.  We do not know what losses or injuries we might have suffered but for divine intervention.

        Through steady spiritual practice we may have earned unknown respite from at least some of the results of our past actions.  Many instances are recorded of devotees who have been saved from obvious and imminent disaster by Sathya Sai Baba.  Such is the power of the Lord's grace and the importance of following his precepts.  Baba protects and guides his devotees safely along the surest path.

                    " The most desirable form of wealth is the grace of God.  He will guard you, even

                       as the lids guard the eye.  Do not doubt this. "           ~ Sathya Sai Speaks 4, p.190

        Many obstacles to our spiritual progress are better overcome than avoided.  Only when an obstacle is surmounted may we pass to the next test.  The course of events is best left to the Lord.  He knows the safest course for each aspirant.  If we rely on the Lord, we will come to no harm.

                    " Rely on the grace of God:  earn it and keep it.  Then whatever the strength of

                      the storm, you can survive it without harm. "            ~ Sathya Sai Speaks 4, p.364

        Divine grace does not always appear when or as we might wish.  When we strive to advance spiritually, we must confront the obstacles which block our way.  The best course may be to experience the pain or suffering, which cleanses us.  The process may be painful, but sometimes pain benefits us the most.

                        " It is grace.  Those who suffer have my grace.  Only through suffering will they

                          be persuaded to turn inward and make the inquiry.  And without turning inward

                          and making inquiry, they can never escape misery. "      ~ Conversations, p.110

        When grace affords us an opportunity to atone for past actions, we may experience pain and loss.  However, the grace of God lessens the pain and reduces the loss.  The suffering may be essential for our growth and so we must experience it.  The Lord's grace reduces our burden.

                        " When a severe pain torments you, the doctor gives you a morphine injection

                           and you do not feel the pain, though it is there in the body.  Grace is like the

                           morphine: the pain is not felt, though you go through it!     Grace takes away

                           the malignity of the karma which you have to undergo....."  ~ Sathya Sai Speaks 4,p.154

        Although the burden of past actions may have to be endured, the grace of God minimizes the pain, or may even eliminate it.  Karma is not an insurmountable obstacle.  When we exert our best efforts, the Lord reduces the obstacle to a size that we can bear.

                          " You may say that the burden of past acts and their inevitable consequences

                            have to be borne, but the grace of the Lord can burn that burden in a flash....."

                                                                                                        ~  Sathya Sai Speaks 4, p.356

        Grace may manifest in the devotee as noble or virtuous character.  Such character is the most important grace to obtain.  Without it all good fortune would yield little benefit.  The greatest grace is that which makes us virtuous  -  and selflessly loving.

                          " No more can any faculty of yours hinder your progress.  He will orient all of your

                            faculties towards the highest goal: the senses, the mind, the subconscious, the

                            unconscious, the intelligence  -  all.   Grace will confer all you need. "

                                                                                                          ~ Sathya Sai Speaks 6, p.76

Due to the latest climate change from europe and not only, very cold temperatures and lots of snow, many poor people suffer. In my country there are villages barried in snow that reaches 5 to 7 meters. They are there from more than one week now because authorities don't do nothing. Some television caravans helped them with food and water but there are more things that they need. Probably this situation is in other countryes too.

This post is for helping all this people with what we can. We can send love and light and we can make a difference. Also we can send healing energies to Earth so that the climate chages will balance.

Thank you for helping!

The interior of the Earth is not a solid mass of molten rock as Earth scientists believe. It is hollow and resembles a tennis ball in structure with the crust being 300 miles thick on average. At the center of the Earth is a softly glowing Sun that provides a permanent twilight atmosphere and constant 78 degrees Fahrenheit for the many Christed advanced civilizations who have lived inside The Hollow Earth for many millenniums. Indeed, nearly all planetary races live "inside" their planet and not on the tumultuous surface as the fallen race of Earth does. The Hollow Earth permanently resembles a semi-tropical paradise at twilight. There is no night, no wind, no rain, no snow, no cold, and no desert. All water needs are met by the countless crystal clear rivers and lakes found throughout The Hollow Earth. Many "Surface Dwellers" have accidentally stumbled into The Hollow Earth and met the advanced beings living there, dined with them, witnessed and experienced their incredibly advanced technology first hand, and related their adventures upon returning to the surface of Earth. Not surprisingly, most Earthlings did not believe their stories. And in ALL military cases the individual was ordered to remain "silent" or else! (see Admiral Byrd).

"It was good for the skin to touch the earth, and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth... The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing, and healing."

--Chief Luther Standing Bear, TETON SIOUX

Touching the earth - getting grounded, centered. There is magic in touching the earth and feeling her healing power. This is especially healthy to do during a troubling time when our minds are racing or can't stop thinking or are locked onto fear or resentment. When I need to feel free I can go to the Mother Earth. The Mother Earth is full of life and love. She always gives her powers to those who come to her. The Mother Earth is alive.

Today, my Great Spirit, let me remember to touch the earth. Let me slow down and live just for today. Let me be gentle, patient and kind.

What should I pray for?

"That spiritual power I wear is much more beautiful and much greater. We call it wisdom, knowledge, power and gift, or love. There are these four parts to that spiritual power. So I wear those. When you wear that power it will beautify your mind and spirit. You become beautiful. Everything that Tunkashila creates is beautiful."

--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA

When I was young, I asked my grandfather, "What should I pray for?" He thought for a long time and then he said, "Pray only for wisdom and for the knowledge of love." This makes a lot of sense. No matter what happens I ask the Creator to show me the lessons I should be learning. I pray for Him to help me learn the lessons. By doing this everyday we become beautiful human beings.

Listen to Your Elders, today

"Men and women have an equal responsibility to restore the strength of the family,
which is the foundation of all cultures."

--Haida Gwaii Traditional Circle of Elders The family is the heartbeat of strength of the culture. The grandfathers and grandmothers taught their children; they in turn had children who taught their children. If the family isn't taught the culture, then the children become adults, and the adults become the grandfathers and grandmothers, and the result is the culture becomes lost. This is how language is lost; this is how dances are lost; this is how knowledge is lost. We need to listen to our Elders, today, before it's too late.

Chief Seattle

Chief Seattle was an ancestral leader of the Suquamish Tribe born in 1786 at the Old-Man-House village in Suquamish. His father was Schweabe, a Suquamish Chief, and his was mother Scholitza, a Duwamish from a village near present Kent. Seattle was a six years old when Captain George Vancouver anchored in Suquamish waters off Bainbridge Island in 1792.

Seattle achieved his status as chief of the Suquamish and a confederation of Duwamish bands after he planned and executed an attack strategy that saved the Central Puget Sound people from a sneak attack from upriver tribal forces from present King County. Seattle, who was in his early twenties at the time, devised a plan calling for falling trees across the White (now Green) River above Renton that would capsize and disorient the raiding party allowing for Seattle’s forces to attack and capture them.

The plan worked and the people were so impressed that he was promoted to Chief and the former leaders became his sub-chiefs.

Chief Seattle witnessed the transition of his people from their ancient aboriginal life ways to a new one brought by the arrival on non-natives and imposed on them by the United States Government. The Suquamish had to adapt their culture based on fishing, hunting, berry and root gathering and traveling by canoe to accept a new economy and lifestyle forced upon them by religious, social and political institutions. Missionaries, fur traders and finally, permanent settlers brought new technology, a currency system, disease and the concept of private property to the Puget Sound.

The change was destructive and disruptive. The United States had already freed land up for settlers by allowing non-natives to claim Indian lands under the Donation Land Claim Act, angering many of the Tribes. The United States wanted to clear the land of Indian title to allow for settlement via a new transcontinental railroad. The federal government accomplished this by signing Treaties with the Indian tribes. Fearing a military conflict that could not be won in the long term, Chief Seattle signed the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott with the U.S., agreeing to live on the Port Madison Indian Reservation and give up title to the remainder of Suquamish lands. The U.S., led by Governor Isaac Stevens, agreed to provide health care, education and recognize fishing and hunting rights.

Some of the Tribes, such as the Puyallup and Muckleshoot who signed the Treaty of Medicine Creek, were angered by the Treaty and their reservations, and took up arms against the settlers and the military. The Indian forces eventually attacked the settlement on Elliott Bay. Chief Seattle kept his forces out of the battle and remained at Suquamish. For this action, other acts of kindness and long friendships with early Seattle residents, the founders of the city named the settlement after Chief Seattle.

Seattle remained on the reservation but continued to travel to the City he was named for intertribal meetings and other business. It was in Seattle that he had his only known picture taken and he gave his famous speech. Chief Seattle died in 1866 in Suquamish.

Seattle died before the federal government enacted “Americanization” policies intended to assimilate the Suquamish into the larger society and eliminate tribal governance thereby relieving the U.S. of their treaty committments. These policies included:

1)allotment of Indian reservationi lands to individual families to scatter the Tribe away from their concentrated winter villages

2) forced attendance of Suquamish children at off-reservation boarding schools where use of tribal language and culture was prohibited and punished and

3) the federally sponsored sale of reservation lands to non-natives that has resulted in the loss of 14 miles of reservation waterfront and over 5,000 acres of Suquamish landholdings. The assimilation policy failed and Chief Seattle’s people, the Suquamish Tribe, continue to persevere by honoring their ancestral ways and preserving their culture.

A group of Seattle pioneers placed a marble headstone on his grave in 1890 in recognition of his legacy. The headstone has both of the popular spellings of Chief Seattle’s names; Seattle and Sealth. Sealth is an approximation of the native pronunciation of the Chief’s name.

The Treaty of Point Elliott, recorded 35 years earlier, shows his name as Seattle. The Suquamish Tribe does not object to the use of either name.

Every Sunrise a Painting: Brain-tumor survivor's daily ritual--by Laura T. Coffey , Original Story, Feb 6, 2012

Strangers seek out Debbie Wagner’s artwork to mark key milestones, memorialize loved ones
No two sunrises are ever the same. Each day’s spectacle in the sky is altered by particles in the atmosphere, the tilt of the Earth, the lengths of different waves of light.

Debbie Wagner knows this better than almost anyone else. With earnest devotion, she has risen in the darkness more than 2,200 times so she could observe and paint the sunrise. She’s rarely missed a morning since December 2005; for Wagner, the daily ritual is sustaining.

“As a brain-tumor survivor, I lost so many of the loves I had, like reading and writing and mathematics,” said Wagner, 56, who had two cancerous, pear-sized tumors removed from her brain in separate surgeries in 2002. “My visual journal became essential to my attitude for the day.

“When I look at a sunrise, it represents a new beginning. I’m just so happy to be here another day and see my kids do different things and go to dinner with my husband. I suppose that’s the addiction of it — it puts me in a state of mind focused on gratitude.”

Increasingly, Wagner’s artwork is taking on personal significance for others as well. People moved by her story have started requesting sunrise paintings for their own milestones: the day of a wedding or a baby’s birth; the day a loved one came home safely from Iraq or Afghanistan; the day a person finally overpowered a stubborn addiction.

Three weeks ago, the family of Justin Tyler Berry reached out to Wagner for an altogether different reason. Wagner learned why in a concise email from Berry’s uncle, Cody Cox.

“My 24-year-old nephew was killed in a car accident December 12th, 2011 — the day of his last sunrise here with us,” Cox wrote. “I would like to purchase that day’s painting, if it is available, and also December 13th, 2011. Both unframed please.”

Berry had been an outgoing student working toward a degree in agriculture marketing at Pittsburg State University in Kansas. He died instantly outside Miami, Okla., when an oncoming driver swerved into his lane and collided into his truck head on. He had been on his way to an evening basketball game where he planned to help younger kids improve their techniques.

“His last day was beautiful just like his whole life was,” Cox, 33, said in an interview. Cox smiled when he recalled the “typical” way Dec. 12 began for his perpetually carefree nephew: Berry had locked his keys in his truck, so he had to run to class so he wouldn’t miss a final exam.

Once he got the exam and the key mishap behind him, Berry spent the rest of his day with almost every member of his large and close-knit family. That evening he headed out to play his favorite sport.
“He was just a delightful person,” his uncle said. “He made friends so easily because he was so sincere and so genuine. ... He made everyone in his life feel as though they were his favorite person.”

‘You have to redefine’

Justin Tyler Berry is pictured along with Debbie Wagner’s painting of the sunrise on Dec. 12, 2011, the day the 24-year-old died.

When Wagner learned that Berry’s family wanted to memorialize him with her sunrise paintings, she sat down and cried. She then made arrangements to deliver the paintings to Cox in person in Oklahoma City on Feb. 4.

Wagner is always astonished by the encounters she has with families who seek out paintings and share their stories with her. The Bennington, Kan., resident never imagined such connections could be possible — in part because she never imagined she’d become an artist.

She had been a healthy and fit mother of three when doctors discovered her two large brain tumors a decade ago. Before her surgeries, doctors warned her she likely was mere weeks away from a major stroke; after her surgeries, doctors likened her experience to being shot through the head.

Wagner had long been a foodie who loved to prepare complex recipes. She also savored long novels, managed her family’s finances and made it a priority to get at least nine hours of sleep a night.
Post-surgery, all of that changed. Multitasking became nearly impossible, and she found she could no longer follow recipes, balance a checkbook or keep a novel’s plot straight in her mind. She also lost her cherished ability to sleep through the night.

“You go through this mourning-type period of sadness, and then you realize that you’re a different person and you have to redefine,” Wagner said. “My husband jokes, ‘Well, I’ve gotten to be married to two different women without having to get divorced!’ ”

Her brain tumors and surgeries may have robbed Wagner of much, but they also gave in unexpected ways: She said she wound up experiencing a heightened visual perceptiveness and an irresistible pull toward art.

A personal journal

Wagner painted for about three years before attempting her first sunrise. She felt compelled to try it one winter morning when she awoke early from a fitful sleep. She still remembers how vibrant and spectacular the big-sky Kansas sunrise looked that day.

“I thought to myself, ‘I wonder if I can paint that?’ And I did!” Wagner said. “It was so exhilarating that I did it again the next day, and the next day. ... Now the devotion to it is effortless for me because I get such a rush from it.”

It takes Wagner about 30 to 45 minutes to complete a 5-by-14-inch pastel creation from a darkened second-story perch in her home. She skips her morning routine on days that are completely overcast, but her ritual is so ingrained that she brings her painting equipment with her on vacations. Her sunrise paintings gradually began to grow in popularity through word of mouth after a gallery in Salina, Kan., invited her to exhibit a sunrise show.

“I’m not a great painter. I’m not trying to ask for a compliment or anything — I’m just telling you the truth,” Wagner said. “I think people are drawn to the honesty of what I’m doing, and the pureness of it. It’s not calculated and it’s not planned, and it was never meant to be commercial. It’s my journal and it’s very personal.”

As was the case with Justin Tyler Berry’s family, another Midwestern family felt drawn to Wagner’s paintings after experiencing a devastating loss. A beloved 30-year-old Kansas school teacher died unexpectedly one night from a mysterious and sudden illness. His wife was three months pregnant when she attended his standing-room-only funeral.

A friend requested Wagner’s sunrise painting from the day of the teacher’s death and gave it to his family. Family members were so moved by the gift that they contacted Wagner about five months later to place an upcoming sunrise painting on hold: the date the teacher’s wife was due to give birth by Cesarean section.

“On the day of the baby’s birth, the sunrise was incredible,” Wagner recalled. “I had a very difficult time painting this sunrise because of the significance to the family. I didn’t feel like I was fully capturing how beautiful it was. And I realized at that time, I never really capture the beauty of the real thing — I can only show my reaction to the beauty I’m seeing.

“There is no substitute for the real thing.”

Bajau Laut – sea gypsies

The Bajau Laut people of the south-western Philippines and Indonesia live their entire lives on the sea. Known as “sea gypsies” or “sea nomads”, they inhabit amazing villages built on stilts in the middle of the ocean.

Many Bajau people do not set foot on land except to trade fish and sea cucumbers for rice and (ironically) water, build new boats, or bury the deceased. In fact, they sometimes report feeling “landsick” when they do!

Bajau boy playing with pet shark

Even when their fragile, driftwood settlements are decimated in the typhoon season, or ransacked by pirates, they just take to their boats and start to build a new house.

These amazing people are so at home in the water that their bodies have physically adapted to it, giving them better underwater vision and the ability to hold their breath for up to five minutes while free-diving for their dinner, as this member of the Bajau Laut clan happily demonstrates:

Where their bodies haven’t adapted enough, they just fashion a pair of goggles out of a passing bit of flotsam

…and slap on a bit of natural sunblock.

That only leaves the eardrums, which might tend to cause a bit of hassle when diving to depths of up to 30m. They are simply ruptured at an early age.

“You bleed from your ears and nose, and you have to spend a week lying down because of the dizziness,” said one sea gypsy (reported the Guardian), “but after that you can dive without pain.”
Nobody said life in paradise was easy.

****************

They may look like regular folks frolicking in the water on a hot summer's day, but they're really much more remarkable than that. They are the Moken, a group of about 2,000 to 3,000 people who are born, live and die traveling the Andaman Sea around Southern Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). Settling only during monsoon season, these "Sea Gypsies" live more than half the year in boats called kabang, each made from a single tree. They are master fishermen and expert divers, catching fish on spears with ease, while collecting a variety of other fruits of the sea by hand, such as sea cucumbers at low tide and shellfish at high tide.

Moken children learn how to swim before they can walk. The Moken can plunge to depths of 75 feet without any life support gear and can also lower their heart rates in order to hold their breaths for twice as long as other humans. And that's not all: Swedish scientist Anna Gislen also found that Moken children have the power to constrict their pupils to tiny pinpoints when they're in the water, enabling them to sharpen their sight and see much better underwater than the rest of us.

But how do they do it? At first, scientists thought that there might be some super-sighted genetic variation in play; after all, the Moken have been diving for hundreds of years. Perhaps, but Gislen's studies with European children showed some pretty cool results - after four to six months of training, Swedish youngsters would automatically constrict their pupils when they came in contact with water, though not to the extent of the Moken children, who have been practising this exercise far longer.

With their almost superpower diving abilities, the Moken could easily exploit the sea, reaping more than they require to sell or trade, but they choose not to. They live simple, low-impact lives, never catching more than is required to survive. A peaceful and nonviolent people, the Moken treat everyone as family, sharing what they have and abstaining from the accumulation of worldly possessions.

To be sure, the Moken's animist beliefs led them to worship the sea and respect its power. They know how to read the signs that the mighty ocean herself sends them, enabling them to find higher ground before anyone else knew that the 2004 Tsunami would hit.

Watch this interview with an old Moken about how they knew the tsunami was coming:

Tsunami
http://youtu.be/oB2l9B9ka3M

The Moken people saw it coming when others didn't

When asked how the Moken people knew that the tsunami would come, they speak of the Laboon, or the "wave that eats people," a legend that has been passed down through the generations. Angry ancestral spirits bring on this "Big Wave," but before it arrives, the sea recedes. Saleh Kalathalay, the village headman, recognized these signs before the 2004 Tsunami struck, and ran to warn everyone to move to higher ground to avoid the impending wave. Everyone was spared, except for one handicapped tribesman who was forgotten on the beach, and for this lapse of memory, the tribe believes it is cursed and will not rebuild their village in the same spot.

And although the Moken survived the devastating disaster of 2004, the traditional nomadic life and the knowledge of the sea that comes part and parcel with it, could soon be lost. Only about 1,000 Moken still lead the traditional life and the numbers continue to dwindle.

Until the 1980s, the Sea Gypsies were largely untouched by modern civilisation. With the influx of entrepreneurs and tourists over the past 30 years and pressure from government, some Sea Gypsies are being forced to settle in permanent villages. Moken men are overworked by Burmese fishermen, often dying from the bends after diving deep and resurfacing quickly. And military presence restricts free movement of the Moken, resulting in difficulties ranging from an inability for young people to find spouses to a lack of trading opportunities for staples such as rice.

Sea Gypsy's Necklace

Dire though the situation seems, there is still hope. Moken leaders continue to forge ahead to bring people together and pass down the stories and rituals that have enabled these people to live for so long in partnership with the sea.

Certainly, the knowledge that the Sea Gypsies have passed on to the rest of the world is something we won't soon forget.

They were born on 15 November of that year on a farm near Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Britain still had Edward VII as king and Florence Nightingale was still alive. Remarkably, despite their age, neither of the twins has ever left UK shores.

Although not identical, their mother always dressed them exactly the same. After leaving school, they worked on farms before leaving to start their own families.

Evelyn married William Middleton and had four children, 12 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.

Her sister Edith, married Nathaniel Ritchie and had four children, nine grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, and three-great-great grandchildren.

The sisters have remained close throughout their life and now live together at Bonnyton House care home in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

When asked her secret to a long life, Edith says 'simple living, hard work and a good husband'.

Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday said: 'They’re not just the oldest in the UK, they hold the world title. They’ve clearly benefitted from good genes, and a solid life-long friendship that only twins can truly understand.'

Remember this woman!

This a woman that will not be forgotten, in this life or the next.

Irena Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98)

Warsaw, Poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive.

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the
ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Later another politician, Barack Hussein Obama, won for his work as a community organizer for ACORN.

In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS LATER

Policeman ‘chased himself’ for 20 minutes while looking for suspect

A police officer chased himself for more than 20 minutes whilst on the look out for someone “acting suspiciously”, it has been revealed.

The officer chased himself while attempting to find a suspect spotted on CCTV.The probationary officer, from Sussex Police, was undercover checking out an area that had been hit by a spate of burglaries when he was alerted by CCTV operators to a nearby suspect. Unaware that the suspect was himself, the officer set off to track them down – chasing his own tail for more than 20 minutes.

The mistake was only realised after a sergeant inside the CCTV control room recognised the young officer, prompting mass hilarity. The pursuit came to light after a senior officer spoke of the incident to a magazine published by the Police Federation.

“Every time the man darted in to another side alleyway, the PC was turning immediately into the same alleyway, but every time the CCTV operator asked what he could see there was no trace,” the senior officer revealed.

“It was at this point that the sergeant entered the control room where he recognised the junior officer.

“With the sergeant's sides aching from laughter he pointed out to the PC that the operator had been watching him unaware that he was a plain-clothes officer – thus the PC had been chasing himself round the streets,” he added.

Sussex Police also managed to see the funny side of the incident. “Policing is often a serious business, so we all enjoy moments of light relief,” a spokesperson said.

“This story was shared anonymously with the Police Federation magazine, so unfortunately without the date or location, confirming the details and locating the officer is harder for us than it was for the CCTV operator.”

        ~*~   From The Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura by Djwal Kul (his spelling)   ~*~

     Children of the One God:

          I address myself to those of you who have pursued the auric studies set forth by my colleague and friend the Ascended Master Kuthumi.  And to all who have not had the privilege of reading his words and following the cadences of his thought as the ever-widening circle of the aura of this blessed Brother of the Golden Robe encompasses the world in the love-wisdom of his heart, may I recommend that you do so.  For our studies here will be laid upon the foundation which Kuthumi has laid.    

          To those who have not known me or my work with the heirarchy, which was registered concurrently with that os El Morya and Kuthumi upon many disciples of the masters both in the East and the West during the last century and a half, may I introduce myself as the Tibetan Master and as one who has chosen to expand the love fires of the heart to woo mankind to the center of Christ awareness where the balance of the threefold flame perceives and is perceived by the fullness of that mind which was in Christ Jesus.

           The motto of the brothers who keep the flame of life with me on behalf of earth's evolutions is summarized in the words of the writer of the Book of Proverbs " Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. "  Some of our disciples who have followed with us the long trek in pursuit of the star of his appearing, the great I AM Presence of the Bethlehem babe, will recall that it was I who accompanied the Masters El Morya and Kuthumi to the place where Jesus was born.

            We came to pay homage to the heart of God made manifest as the heart of the Son of God.  We came to adore the light of the Christos.  We came with the wise dominion of the masters of the Far East to form a circle of protection around mother and child and to impart to Joseph an aura of protection for the flight into Egypt.

             We come again in this series on a similar mission.  We come to pay homage to the Christ aborning in the heart of children of God everywhere.  We come to expand the circle of protection.  We come to teach mankind to keep the fires of the heart with all diligence and to conserve the crystal-flowing waters of life that issue forth from this luminous fount of love, wisdom, and power.  We come to show forth a trinity of the mastery of the aura.

              And so brother Kuthumi has nobly stated his case for the expansion of soul consciousness through the aura.  He has shown how, by replacing the personality patterns and perversions with soul consciousness  -  which you call, and that rightly so, solar awareness  -  you can increase the forcefield of the aura and use it to intensify the light of God on earth and to make of the aura the wedding garment of the Lord.

              The work of Kuthumi given forth as an exercise in the expansion of the soul and its faculties reaching out to contact the Spirit of God is intended to awaken mankind from the sleep of the ages to a new perception of life, a perception of God, through the faculties of the soul.  It is a work which all devotees of the sacred fire may use to diligently begin the process of the personal cleansing that is so necessary to the realization of the consciousness of God.  As you meditate, then, with beloved Kuthumi, recognize that he has a momentum of auric light which he extends from his forcefield to your own for the specific purpose of bringing about the quickening and the cleansing of your soul consciousness.                          ~  End Part 1
