Spiritual Word Games

achababa — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 02:01:01 GMT

Hi Tribe

Haven't been posting on Tribe in awhile but I finished writing this and it seemed like a good thing to keep in mind for internet spiritual discussions.

Spiritual Word Games

Humans seek emotional security. We want to feel good about ourselves. Deep down, we rarely achieve those good feelings because the “self” we wish to validate is built on a fantasy we have created rather than our true essence. In the struggle to keep our self-image positive, we even distort our spiritual values and beliefs in service of our egos. We play spiritual word games.

We are identified with our egos. The ego is that collection of thoughts and feelings about ourselves which is based on our past. The ego wants to feel good about itself. The ego rarely enjoys genuine fulfillment because it is not real; it’s made up of ideas and concepts, rather than of true Being. It’s bound to be insecure. The ego compares itself with its perception of other people. It seeks validation in reaching a superior comparison. If you know something that others don’t, you think you’ll feel better. If you prove somebody wrong, you feel special.

Humans are creatures of conditioning. We are taught as children how to approach the world and we model our approach to new activities based on our past actions and successes. Whether it’s in the field of school, business or romance, we’ve learned to climb the ladder of success by molding ourselves relative to the predominant culture (or counter-culture) and rising in stature with effort, cunning, and increasing sophistication. We learn to evaluate the status of others by their dress, demeanor and company. We learn our place.

It shouldn’t be surprising then, that when we find the spiritual path, some of us apply our worldly formulas of success to it. We try hard, study the literature, use the jargon, and adopt the dress and mannerisms of the spiritual culture we are adopting.

It’s worth contemplating the pitfalls of the egoic model of spiritual advancement so we don’t waste our time building a new, seemingly improved, personality that’s merely a more self-righteous version of the unhappy person we’ve become.

With that in mind, I’d like to address playing “Spiritual Word Games.”

I call it “Spiritual Word Games” when a person manipulates spiritual concepts for ego reinforcement or ego justification. Here are some examples that might be called “Spiritual Word Games:”

“Everything is illusion. Nothing really happens so you shouldn’t be upset when I skin you alive.”

“I feel my body is telling me it needs to eat a quart of ice cream.”

“It’s not my problem if my wife is upset that I’m going to the ballgame instead of her family dinner. I’m detached about it.”

“God is in everything, even in this line of cocaine. I see the perfection in everything.”

“You say you feel divine love within you but someday you’ll realize that Love just ‘is’ and there is no ‘within’ and ‘without’.

We don’t need to debate if there is truth at some level in the statements above. They are “Spiritual Word Games” if their intent is to manipulate people, inflate the ego, or justify selfish actions. You have to be honest with yourself about ‘why’ you say something. ‘What’ you say is merely the content concocted for the intent. The temptation to be dishonest with ourselves is itself a warning that we are avoiding truth in favor of an upgraded rendition of our illusions.

“Spiritual Word Games” often rely on selectively surfing the layers of relative truth in search of what we want. Detachment arises from the virtue of accepting reality as it is, of remaining contented in the Self. But detachment makes a poor excuse for not caring about people’s feelings. If our actions are selfish but we detach ourselves from their consequences, we’re trying to work a loophole in the cosmic scheme, trying to claim a karmic exemption. To forgo justifying our actions doesn’t mean condemning yourself. Just be aware. Forgive your own folly as your forgive the folly of others, with understanding and compassion.

If we have our own bliss, we don’t have to grasp at the world for happiness or validation.

“Spiritual Word Games” can also mean using the Absolute level in support of some relative or selfish idea.

It’s true that a stick of chalk is made of vibrating energy; that doesn’t mean we can use it for a camera battery.

If you think you can smoke cigarettes without consequence because “Everything is God” then you might consider a meal of Dog excrement, that’s God too right?

If “the world is just an illusion” and “nothing ever happened,” why bother posturing yourself as spiritually superior to anybody else?

In India there is a story of a man whose Guru told him “Everything is God” The man went to a parade and fearlessly stepped in front of a mad elephant, even though the rider of the elephant was waving for him to run. The elephant squashed him but he managed to survive. His friends asked him why he stood in the Elephant’s way. He said he thought that since everything was God, that he should be safe in front of the Elephant. They reminded him that the driver who warned him to flee the elephant was also God.

Using spiritual knowledge or dogma to justify what we want to believe is a temptation for mainstream religious people as well. A passage from Leviticus is commonly cited to prove biblically that homosexuality is “an abomination.” Those same people would never dream of following the dietary laws of Leviticus, nor endorsing its view of slavery nor the death penalty for minor crimes of morality.

Beware of this phenomenon in Love and Relationships as well. It’s easy to demand unconditional love and non-violent communication when you’ve mistepped, just make sure you give as well as receive those blessings.

Spirituality is a state of “Being” and not a state of “Believing.” The ability to be very present and centered in pure “Being” with an open heart makes a person especially spiritual. Expertise with spiritual word games is a cosmetic that attempts to make us look better but doesn’t add anything real or enduring to our inner beauty.

It’s not only words that we use to make ourselves feel more spiritual. We learn to dress a certain way, speak in certain tones, and act according to our image of what “spiritually advanced” looks like.

On one level, projecting a spiritual image can lead to progress. There is a certain power to “Fake it until you make it.” When you behave according to your intent, you strengthen the energy of it, and release past patterns. We can choose to face the light, decide to be happy, and embrace truth. Our energy will flow into the mold of our intent and establish a new pattern that serves us better.

But if the motive behind our spiritual fashion is to climb the social ladder of a group, to influence the perceptions and opinions of our community, or to convince ourselves that we are better than we fear we are, then we are cheating ourselves out of the bliss that comes from a spiritual heart.

It’s hard to love people when we are rating ourselves against them in our minds.

Ironically, people don’t particularly like those who appear superior to them and they can sense when someone takes pleasure in their assumed superiority.

Peace and Love are our very nature. Seeking fulfillment from playing spiritual games means looking to your self-image for satisfaction. That’s bound to divide your personality from the Source of your Love. You are satisfaction itself if you open yourself to BEING. Immersed in your contented bliss, you see the best in people, you bring out the best in people, and your communion with the world banishes thoughts of ranking yourself or elevating your status.

It’s hard to get used to the idea that being yourself is more a matter of undoing habits, distractions and illusions than of building an upgraded persona. It’s easy to get energetic and enthusiastic about doing something. Letting go of our old doings while remaining content with ‘openness in Being’ is subtler. Our habitual desire to fall into the tracks of our old ways makes us restless for the comfort of the familiar. Be patient with the restlessness and just observe the tendency to cast past habits into new ideas. The energy of the past will dissipate when we stop feeding it. It just takes a little time.

Don’t judge yourself or be disappointed if you catch yourself indulging in some spiritual ego. That would just be another, more negative, expression of that ego. They are twin sides of the same insecurity: the desire to be ‘good enough’ and the fear that we are not ‘good enough’. Treat yourself with the same love and compassion that you would offer others. Accepting yourself goes hand in hand with accepting others.

So the trick is to ‘be present” with your motives and actions, without denial or judgment. Compassionately and honestly observe yourself. Maintain your awareness of your thoughts and feelings. Pointless spiritual games will lose their meaning when seen in the light of Awareness. The ‘Observer’ who can be aware of our thoughts and feelings without judgment is the gateway to the real self. Observe as the Self by Being the Self. The “thinker” that can lament about our weaknesses and failures is a facet of an illusory identity that separates us from Truth and Love. The ‘observer’ can be aware of the thinking without getting wrapped up in it. Don’t lose yourself in the train of thoughts.

It’s good to recognize these contrary forces that can be primary obstacles to transformation: we say we want to change because we’re not satisfied, and yet we habitually inhabit our usual state of consciousness because it’s a familiar rut that’s a challenge to unlearn. Stop playing the ego games you are addicted to by observing yourself playing them. Let go of inner assumptions about who you are that are really just habits and past conditioning.

Learning to step away from your habitual state of consciousness is one of the most powerful transformative skills you can learn, because otherwise, whatever you learn and do will be undone by your unconscious will to cling to the familiar.

Reside in your own BEING and observe. Embrace yourself and others with the Love that springs from within you. Abiding in yourself and being present and open to the world around you without judgment is a new orientation toward life that takes a willful mindfulness to establish as new awareness. Once you’ve lived in mindfulness for awhile, the peace and fullness of your being will make reverting to old negativity seem unthinkable.

Most people have lived in a negative bubble for so long that layers of mental and emotional clutter have obscured the wellspring of Peace and Love that is their own Being. They might have to endure a period of emptiness as they take out the inner trash before the inner light begins to shine. If spiritual work feels unrewarding at first, be patient and nurture yourself. The inner trash needs to be taken out sooner or later. Once you have observed negativity and tension within yourself, you understand that it doesn’t serve you. If you have to bear the sight and smells of your stinky inner trash while you purge yourself of it, bear with it realizing it’s better to be free from it than to have it darkly festering within you.

It’s only a matter of time and transformation before you know Peace as your very nature each moment.

Love yourself, Be yourself, and the world will shine in beauty around you.

THE ENERGY BEHIND ENLIGHTENMENT

Tom Zatar — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:39:49 GMT

Most people use ten percent or less of the Brain. Through the awakening of Kundalina energy the brain can organically evolve to a higher performance. No time has been spent investigating perhaps the most powerful energy of nature. Religious experience and its root.

Kundalini is the evolutionary potency in all humans. A fundamental bioenergy. It comes from an Indian word meaning “to join the soul with the cosmic soul,” In the ancient Indian language Sanskrit it is a term referring to a coiled force or energy originating at the base of the spine, and seated near the sex organs a coiled up sleeping snake. Implies latent energy or potential to expand. Serpent Power when activated travels up the seven chakras which are the nerve centers along the spinal cord and enlightens the mind. Expanding consciousness the nirvana of Buddha. It is responsible for human evolution and all-psychic abilities genius and spiritual illumination. Kundalini is the biological way to expand the mind.

Kundalini is the “secret” behind yoga and all other esoteric psychology’s and genuine occult mysteries. A scientifically measurable biochemical essence Kundalini is the substance that is the nourishment of consciousness. It penetrates the nervous system and influences the nerves to become the instrument of higher consciousness. This subtle substance is a snake-like force that fuels the mind in order to sustain a more active state, producing an awakened Kundalini individual, Note: snakes have two hemi penises and the power to hypnotize.

Such inner power is represented by the two snakes on King Tut’s headdress and the feathered serpent of Mexico and South America, The serpent in the Garden of Eden. The upward flow of Kundalini nectar (prana force, bioplasmic stream) is concentrated in the reproductive fluids of both men and women. When Kundalini is activated a reverse action takes place, feeding the center of the brain. “cavity of Brahma” in the brain’s ventricular cavity. Kundalini is the power that controls it. All great saints’’ mystics’ poets and people of genius, as well as the insane were influenced in this way.

If an experiment were performed it would prove the existence of the Kundalini force and show its physiological effects on the body. It could bridge the gap between science and mysticism and show the essential truth of religious experience and tradition. Religion has always been a companion of humanity. Religion came to guide humanity. No scientist could doubt the reality of this phenomenon once it has been observed and measured.. Such an experiment would uncover the vale of darkness and delusion under which humanity has been living. This evolutionary force needs publicity and actual proof would provide it. The results will speak for themselves. It will be a discovery more important than anything that has preceded it.

It is only from an awakened perspective that such observation can be made and this potential lies within everyone. As humanity evolved from cave men to the United Nations it becomes inevitable that this discovery will come to light and that there is indeed a purpose. A planned creation to our being. God protects our blue-green planet earth from the inferno of intergalactic space. Why? Because humanity has to attain to other states of consciousness for which all these recourses are needed to do this. We have been granted an intelligence to make the best use of it.

Life’s purpose and evolution’s power lead to cosmic laws, which must be obeyed for nature’s divine grace within us all to come to light. These laws as spoken of in all religions occult and mystical beliefs describe a path to enlightenment. As great empires have come and gone, so too must humanity’s faiths change.

My teacher, the late Pundit Gopi Krishna, an Indian Yogi-scientist and world renowned expert of Kundalini who has written over twenty books on the subject states, “We all know what happened whenever a political system became despotic and oppressive, a social system exacting and corrupt, and a religious system excessively authoritarian and dogmatic. There arose a demand for revision and reform. Political revolutionaries, reformers and prophets appeared on the scene, The old system was overthrown often with dreadful bloodshed, suffering and pain and a new one installed in its place. We have to cooperate with inner evolution.”

What is needed for a more positive harmonic peaceful and prosperous existence is a fuller understanding of humanity’s need for god. As society accelerates the brain must work increasingly beyond the point of balance. We are giants of intellect and dwarfs of the spiritual. We give no time to the spirit. Bringing on grave consequences. Gopi Krishna says. “ We have given too much emphasis to the material side of life at the cost of the spiritual side.” Time must be set aside for prayer, meditation, yoga or some other spiritual act in order to keep life’s evolutionary needs in balance and maintain inner sanity. Yoga meditation provides a channel for the opening of a powerful energy (inspiration) which can enable anyone to blossom into a genius, an artist, a poet, a mystic.

If this force awakens in an impure or out of balance form it can result in evil genius fanaticism delusions of grandeur, or mental illness (like manic depression and schizophrenia). There is a lot that is not understood that kundalini research will explain.

The brain is subject to the influence of countless factors connected with the life environment and the family history of an individual. When even slightly tainted or stained do to the pressure of reality or various causes such as wrong mode of life, unhealthy environment, faulty heredity, shock, frustration, repression, tension and numerous other factors. If the mind is abnormal the brain too must be a shareholder in the abnormality. There are subtle changes in some neuronic structures in the cranium. The real root of the abnormality is an impure or toxic condition of the prana. If you do not live a disciplined life then the awakening of this center can be unhealthy. A distorted vision of the same power. It means that the system is not pure and that the energy is not working in a healthy way.

There is a positive spiritual energy force within us all. Which has a physical counterpart in the human body that feeds a certain portion of the brain cavity of Brahma. This is a living electricity or intelligent energy that is needed to open the brain. The macrobiological changes and its effect can be observable and scientifically verified. Elevations of consciousness can only occur through the transformation brought by kundalini and by no other agency.

Nature shows compassion to humanity in order to help guide us safely through transgressions. God to me is a universal god that is not tied to any one organized religion. It gives us chance after chance. But when we digress off the path unhealthy results occur. We can not blame nature but ourselves. We have intelligence, we have reason, and we have learning. But if by having everything we ignore it then of course nature has no alternative except to teach us by suffering. Heaven is always merciful and all compassionate.

Great prophets, mystics, inventors, sages and people of genius have come to guide our race towards evolution’s goal. The study of the past will show the common thread within these great men and woman. Study is needed in order to educate us about how life should be led to be more in harmony with the forces of nature, which govern our life. A life of humility – love – purity - truth - moderation and compassion.

But how can we prove kundalini’s effect on the body? We can perform an experiment in a controlled environment. This experiment would take on hundred individuals with a healthy average intellect - normal typical people all with a great urge to awaken with a deep passion for spiritual matters and who are prepared to mold their lives in consort with the spiritual laws. Men and women aged twenty to thirty five. They would be put in a peaceful environment and subjected to various tests over a period of five years or more.

Scientists can observe them as the subjects try to awaken their kundalini. They will awaken to differing degrees. Tests will document the physiological changes that occur and will provide the empirical proof of what happens to the body as the kundalini force is awakened. I hypothesis that there are definitive biological differences in the blood, the cerebrospinal fluid and the composition of the brain matter in its subtle layers. Research on brain mapping. EEG ceg ces and the electricity in the body may show the kundalini force. The brain activity will be increased and its effect will be found all over the body. There will be metabolic processes, which can be measured. There will be physiological changes, which can be measured. This will convince the biologist that this change of the mind of the brain has physiological counter part. The result will start humanity towards a greater understanding of this evolutionary mechanism.

Once it is proved that the potential to awaken lies within everyone and is the most valuable asset we have, people will strive for it. The result on humanity will be comparable to the splitting of the spiritual atom. Instead of releasing a nuclear holocaust it will unleash the beginning of a utopian age, our cosmic destiny that can transform a mortal into an immortal and eternal source of happiness.

The awakening of these energies produces genius in mortal man or woman. Creativity, love and compassion emerge and pathways are opened to a future, awakened humanity. We will become the trailblazers of our own inevitable destiny. A utopian age of peace and harmony will follow. All political and spiritual processes will be developed for the highest good. Individuals will develop their “inner Sun” to the fullest during their lifetime. Kundalini research is part of an evolutionary force that compels us to look for enlightenment as an experience accessible to all. To awaken is the goal nature has set for us.

The time is right for we can use state of the art technology to study the phenomenon. We can study the common thread that lies at the root of all religion mysticism which is to guide humankind’s understanding of evolutionary change The understanding of kundalini is now becoming provable for the first time.

Sigmund Freud in fact understood that the libido is directly responsible for mental imbalances. At some point in time we will discover that all we know can be reduced to the bio-chemical. This center of the brain cavity of Brahma is still undiscovered but could be called the “third eye” or the “philosopher’s stone”. Kundalini will for the first time reveal how energy is supplied to the brain and that it is superintelligent. Freud’s concept about libido is of a psychic energy drawn from the libidinous tendencies in human beings. Which is to say the reproductive energy but only from a psychic point of view. He does not say that it has organic roots. This is what famed psychologist Wilhelm Reich emphasizes that this libido must have roots deep in the biochemical structure of the body.

The sex organs in a state of awakened kundalini produces a vast amount of fluid to feed the newly activated part of the brain. Sexual energy may well be directly connected to a mechanism that is affected by evolutionary advancement. Kundalini is the fundamental bioenergy stored primarily in the sex organs. This basic life force is normally associated with the genitals for simple continuance of the species by providing a sex drive. The tie in to the human sex drive and higher consciousness must be explored. Why do men have ejaculation while asleep or wake up with erect penises. There is a force of nature that needs physical release to be sane.

It is called the “goddess Kundalini” or “Mother Nature” because a mother’s love is similar to the bliss of higher consciousness. Woman have more feelings! Life is part of them - menstruation each month reminds them of that. Soulmates, man-woman have intercourse to prolong the race (children). Plus experience the love, kundalini evolutionary force of completion, happiness and bliss that keeps growing.

Sexual or relaxation exercises may release inner pressure of an over-taxed libido. An evolutionary super-nectar, extraordinary life force feeds the mind, a kissing food of unlimited bliss. The sublimation raising up of sex energy is the basic lever of all spiritual disciplines. But the all-inclusive nature of sex energy is a misnomer. Reproduction is but one of the aspects of the life energy of which the other theater of activity is the brain.

Humanity’s basic needs are for sex, god and a need for prayer to control our environment i.e.. hope within everyone lies the ability to awaken. Humanity needs love to balance our own unbalanced state and give us time to meditate, to control our over-taxed brain. Humanity’s sex drive may well be the only time some people relax from their hectic lifestyles. There is a need to just kick back and enjoy. Sex could be a form of deep meditation and experience between two soul mates. Loves deep blissful passion, kundalini’s purest expression an active prayer one of the most powerful forces in the universe. A positive experience that ends in an explosion of uncontrollable bliss. However for the average person, sex is not a deep meditation but is merely a physical release, a small slice of love’s true potential.

What is needed is that deep magnetism of love - a yin/yang of a universal constant. First came the big bang theory for the creation of the universe, now the love theory of creation states that the universe is a constant - always was here. That pure love magnetism, that yin/yang. Example. Trees love earth. Earth love the sky the sky loves the stars space… Love is consciousness … The universe is male and female and in love with both forces.

Suppression of sexuality out of contempt or hatred of our lower nature is an act of ignorance leading only to atrophy of the sexual system. Celibacy is contrary to nature. Since enlightenment is an evolutionary process with heredity playing an important role stamping the genera of the enlightened so that their biological gains through spiritual disciplines can be passed to their progeny. DNA research will eventually discover the consciousness gene.

Sexual energy has been represented in ancient art and statues by an erect organ. Showing the upward streaming of the reproductive essence that effects the transformation of consciousness.

In order to discover the factual evidence behind consciousness, one must first study kundalini energy and its effects. Scientific proof will free humanity to accept the fact that within everyone lies the temple of god leading to a clear realization of our own divine nature. Man’s incomprehensible inner bliss and oneness with divinity and a way of life that overpowers doing wrong or any other action that goes against this cosmic evolutionary force. The misunderstanding of kundalini has led to environmental decline that seems rooted to ultimate destruction of Planet Earth i.e. ozone layer, burning of rain forests, religious wars and terrorism, rape and murder….

It is one relationship not just to their own kundalini but also towards each other. It is the combination of the two that will lead not only to harmony but also to sharing and ultimately to progress. The appeal especially in these times is kundalini which offers hope promise. There is negative energy (i.e. ours) that can be transformed into positive communal conscience which will try to eradicate feelings of helplessness, negativity, pain and the burden of feeling isolated.

Why are people so selfish? Due to not having an understanding of kundalini. Just desperation, helplessness and power struggles which lead to hurting others and ourselves or apathy both of which have a profound effect on our history and the mood of the energy.

Our goal and objective is to create a paradise on earth. A peaceful co-existence, long lives, greater achievements and more freedom. A utopian society living by the laws uncovered by the experiment. A union with the divine is a sum total of the physical laws of the universe. We are in the process of taking the next evolutionary leap. The new century is here.

The study of what lifestyle would be best to advance ones inner potential is a task that may take eons to complete. With the help of divine grace may we free the veil that covers the eyes of the blind masses. We who have been chosen for this colossal task are the humble instruments of this evolutionary force. We will do our part to understand this unfathomable awareness of our eternal souls. The universe is ruled by an intelligent power! Consciousness does not change in birth or death it is bigger than our individual soul. Consciousness is an eternal om...

detachment and surrender

humbledreamweaver — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 20:20:07 GMT

what is detachment? What does it mean to you? I will share a story of my experience. About five years ago my partner and I decided to save our money and buy a camper van or small RV. Well after working for a number of months we felt we had enough saved to be able to get what we needed. We had been living completely off the grid with no running water or electricity for some time, so an RV would be an upgrade. We decided to drive into town to use the phone and make some calls on a few vehicles we saw in the paper. Arriving at the pay phone in the small RV park in town, we found ourselves waiting, as someone was using the phone. I could overhear this mans conversation, and he was inquiring about a bus ticket. He seemed kinda familiar. While waiting I noticed a nice small RV in the parking lot and commented to my partner " I'd like to find one just like that one". About that time the man on the phone hung up and started up a conversation. I told him we were looking to buy an RV. He said you must be the folks I brought this RV down from Washington for. It turned out to be the father of a friend from the land we have been staying on. His daughter told him about us and he brought the RV for us to use. He told us not to worry about anything, that it was fully insured and we could use it all summer if we liked. What a blessing. It had stickers that said "Guided by spirit" and "Protected by Angels". It was fully equipped with everything right down to the dish soap. Well we took off for the first rainbow gathering of the trip and headed to southern Colorado to set up a library. It was an amazing gathering with a great talent show at the library and one morning a full circle rainbow around the sun. We left the gathering in full spirit and went to Denver to meet up with friends that were all going to caravan to the nationals in Arizona. We spent a couple of days at my friends and the day before we were to leave we took the RV into town to fill up the gas and propane, wash clothes and get supplies. I remember meeting a Christian family at the laundry mat and gave them some money because they had just gotten back in the country and didn't have any resources at the time. We left the laundry and headed back up to Denver. Now this RV was kinda slow going uphill and would tend to run a little warm so I had to keep an eye on the temperature. I noticed that it was running warm, not hot but it was starting to smoke a little. I pulled off the side of the interstate right in front of the house where they filmed Woody Allen's movie Sleeper. I set there for a moment and decided that maybe I ought to check under the hood an make sure everything is OK. When I got to the front flames were coming out through the grill. OH SHIT!! I tried to open the hood and burned the tips of my fingers pretty good. I then remembered gloves and a small fire extinguisher under the seat and went to grab them. With the gloves on i figured I could get the hood open and put out the fire, but the hood still wouldn't open. Looking inside the RV I saw a small door that opened into the engine compartment. I popped it open and stuck the fire extinguisher in the hole and phissst. the extinguisher was empty. I started to get frantic then. My partner was just sitting there. "Get out" I yelled. I went to the back to start getting stuff out. I started throwing everything that was laying ion the bed. Sleeping bags, Cd's, clothes etc. The smoke was getting so thick I couldn't see. I was gaging and choking. I went back in the third time trying to get the hanging clothes we had just washed . They were packed so tight in the closet that they wouldn't come loose from the hangers. About that time I had a vision of a newspaper headline that said "Man Blows Up Saving Underwear". I bailed. I'm standing there looking at the flames, now coming through the roof and this inventory is running in my head. everything we owned was in there. I began to cry thinking I'd pretty much lost everything when a hawk comes flying up. Now there aren't any trees around anywhere except a small one on the hill behind me. This hawk flies up and circles the smoke and fire three times and stops and hovers right above me so low that I can see the Iris of his eyes. At that moment I surrendered and stretched out my arms and said " So whats the message" Immediately I heard "DETACHMENT, THESE ARE JUST THINGS". the hawk then flew to the small tree behind me and sat watching as people began to stop and help. The fire department went wailing down the other side of the interstate looking for a place to turn around. Several people had small extinguishers, but they were no help. One man removed all the camping equipment off the back while another came up to me and reached out his hand and handed me some money saying "This is all I have on me". I didn't even look to see how much till later. It was a ten and three ones,$13 .I had to laugh. My lesson, you don't own anything and everything in this plane is temporal. Being attached drains your energy and distracts us from the very reason we are here. It was a valuable lesson and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The rest of that summer was just as, how would you say , exciting and it just got crazier, but that is another story for another time.

What is Enlightenment?

Rekmel1 — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 21:12:08 GMT

Enlightenment is the bliss of knowing where you are coming from and where you are going to and why. You are coming from and going to infinite perfection. Enlightenment is understanding that your purpose is to give and receive unending fulfillment. Enlightenment is also understanding that how this is accomplished cannot be reasoned because the means of accomplishing this feat is to abandon reason. To be filled one must first become empty. It can only be said that you cast away your oneness (this is where you give and this is where the illusion begins). Because this is just an illusion, being in this imperfect state cannot last forever. The result is that when it ends, you awaken to the joy and peace of your unchanged infinite perfection (this is where you receive and this is where the illusion ends). This cycle is infinite.

CREATION OF THE COMPASSION PEACE MANDALA RETREAT & EMPOWERMENT OCT 20 MARIN

aquamarinedreamqueen — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 13:03:00 GMT

CREATION OF THE COMPASSION PEACE MANDALA
A Special Workshop and Empowerment With
Lama Pema Tendzin

CREATION OF THE COMPASSION PEACE MANDALA
A Benefit Workshop with Bhutanese Thangka Artist Lama Pema Tendzin

This is a beautiful and rare opportunity to learn the ancient art of traditional sacred thangka painting from a master artist and lineage holder. Lama Pema Tendzin has paintings in permanent and private collections throughout the United States including the San Francisco Asian art museum. Additionally he has had the honor of creating beautiful ceremonial thankas for the Dalai Lama.

Lama Pema Tendzin began studying the sacred art of thangka under the tutelage of his teacher Buli Tulku Rinpoche since he was six years old. More than paintings, thangkas are potent tools for meditation, contemplation and transformation.

For this special workshop, Lama Pema Tendzin will be leading us in the creation of the Compassion Peace Mandala. The day opens with meditation, mantra and prayers.

We will then draw and paint the mandalas together under this master artist's tutelage. When the painting is completed Lama Pema and Tsewong Sitar Rimpoche will lead us in a mantra, prayer and blessing to activate the mandala. This workshop gives participants active creative time with these very special beings in the creation of a potent piece of art that will Benefit all Beings.

A SPECIAL BENEFIT:

All proceeds from this event will go towards a special painting of Guru Rimpoche Padmasambhva. This painting measuring 30 feet high by 25 feet high will be placed on the mountainside next to the Sangye Tang monastery in Bhutan.

Guru Rimpoche Padmasambhava is recognized as the principle teacher to bring Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th Century. The painting, which will be completed in February of 2008, was revealed in a vision to Lama Pema's brother Tsewong Sitar Rinpoche. Tsewong Sitar Rimpoche is the head of Sangye Tang monastery in Eastern Bhutan. Founded in the late 1500's, this monastery is in view of one of Padmasambhava's sacred pilgrimage sites. The painting will promote blessings, peace and rejuvenation.

Anyone in West LA up for rearranging reality from the inside out?

Andrea — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 15:18:20 GMT

I just posted an event listing for Integrative Awakening / Living Dharma Satsang.

This is not just a meditation group; this is a path to awakening, a practice that you can do while driving, shopping, cleaning house, hanging out with friends, and eventually while engaging frontal lobes for left-brain activities such as desk jobs! (Getting to that point takes awhile; at first I couldn’t hold the awareness and talk at the same time. It’s a muscle, and you have to work it out.)

We use a heart-centered meditation technique, bringing awareness out of the head down to the heart, with Vipassana-style awareness of body sensations in the areas of the heart and belly. This practice is simple, powerful, and as effective as you want to make it. I have never been able to do sitting meditation consistently in this lifetime, and in only four months, I have gotten to the point that I LIKE doing a one-hour sit in the morning, and feel “off” if I miss it!

We meet on Sunday afternoons starting at 2 pm. Check out the “Integrative Awakening” section on my profile for more info.

Archangel Michael - Invoking the Flame of Trust

Simon — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:02:43 GMT

Archangel Michael - Invoking the Flame of Trust

This is the loving presence of Archangel Michael.

I would like to speak about trust. What is trust? How does one trust? What are the benefits of trust?

Trust is a magnificent thing! It allows you to bravely enter places that you would have previously avoided. Trust is confidence in yourself and your abilities. Your ability to trust in Divinity is the greatest that you possess.

You need to activate trust in order to make a quantum leap, just as you would need to trust in your safety if you were to leap from one platform to another. Trust will carry you from one platform (or level) to another, higher platform, where you will meet new people, challenges and opportunities. Beloveds, the new adventures that await you when you learn to trust more in your Divine Self are beyond anything that you have previously encountered! You will see wondrous miracles on a daily basis. You will know of the power of love like never before, and you will want to share this knowledge with everyone you know.

But how does one learn to trust in this way? You learn it through letting go of worry, that is how. And this is no minor challenge, I know. This is Major League stuff! But perhaps you are more ready than you suppose. Perhaps you are sitting there reading these words because there is a fire burning within your heart. Perhaps we can call this fire the Flame of Trust.

The Flame of Trust is a gift from the Creator that is ready for you to unwrap. Like the Violet Flame of Transmutation its purpose is to help you ascend in consciousness. Invoke it and it will assist you in banishing doubt. It will help you clear your consciousness of worry thoughts, and it will raise your vibration to a new level of self-confidence. What a gift!

Let us consider what worry does to you. First, it robs you of your trust! As a tool of the ego it tries to convince you that it is your best friend, that you need it. Please hear me clearly: YOU DO NOT NEED WORRY IN YOUR LIFE! Perhaps the thought of living worry-free is unrealistic to you. But if your Creator is perfect (and therefore so are you) then where did worry come from? Where did danger come from, for that matter? Beloveds, such things were NOT created by the Divine Creator, but were rather created on a lower level (metaphorically speaking) through what you call free will.

There are many in your history who have used the Flame of Trust in quite dramatic ways. Consider what Dr. Martin Luther King accomplished with it! I was with him all the way as he stood for truth, justice and liberty for all peoples (not just for African-Americans), and I helped him overcome much worry and doubt in himself and his mission. Then there are those that have used the Flame of Trust in much less dramatic situations, such as Lao Tsu, who mostly lived a quiet life devoted to the Creator (the Tao). Lao Tsu actually learned to live a worry-free life, for the most part, and so can you.

It is alright to have worry thoughts, but please do not allow them to dominate your mind and therefore your world. Learn to invoke trust through practicing an unwavering devotion to the Creator, and then watch as your worries begin to fade into nothingness.

This is Archangel Michael and I bid you farewell.

The spiritual meaning of your life challenges

Fri, 18 May 2007 23:19:59 GMT

If the moderators will kindly permit a new book announcement, I would like to tell people about a spirituality book I’ve written and recently published that may be of interest and service.

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth.

The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents.

The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four very gifted mediums and channels, including one who has the ability both to see and to hear the conversations we have with one another before we’re born. The book therefore contains the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned these challenges.

As readers come to understand that they themselves planned many of their challenges, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

A free PDF with a large sample of the book is available on the About the Book page at www.CourageousSouls.com. People may also wish to read the reviews on Amazon.

The book may be ordered on the Courageous Souls web site or from Amazon, including Amazon Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. It may also be ordered from any bookstore or library (in most countries) by providing them with the ISBN number (9780977679454).

Thank you for permitting me to post this message.

Kind regards,

EXTENDING PRAYER FIELDS

For centuries, religious scriptures, poems, and philosophies have pointed to a latent power of mind within all of us that mysteriously helps to affect what occurs in the future. We are now finding that this prayer power is a field of intention, which moves out from us and can be extended and strengthened, especially when we connect with others in a common vision.

A thought study on "Human Spiritual Evolution."

Ancient — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 09:29:43 GMT

"Me, My Self' & I" - A Thought Study on 'Human Spiritual Evolution'

Blessings...Breathe DEEP....Breathe SLOW.
To begin with, this is called a 'thought study' because it's just thinking aloud on the written page. Noticing some things and putting it together in a hopefully humourous sense that sheds some light on finding our way in the craziness we have created and mislabeled 'reality'.
The "Me...My 'Self' & I" phrases can be viewed as three distinct progressions of spiritual evolution.

ROOT PHASE-(ME)
In the Root phase of "Me", the person is still subjected to a singular viewpoint which is mostly selfish in origin. These people work primarily for themselves. The world revolves around them. Everything is perceived as being important or not by how it impacts them directly. Most commonly used phrases include things like;
"I need some time for me."
"What about me?"
"I'm important."
"What can you do for me?"
The beginnings of this phase can last a lifetime, but hopefully will progress from the absolute to the doubtful.
"I don't think...I KNOW!!!" will change into "I don't know what to think."
Here, they become lost that they may be found.

MIDDLE PHASE-(your 'SELF')
In the Middle phase, you begin finding your 'Self'. The viewpoint has split into two views of your 'Self' - Internal & External. These people primarily work on them 'Self'. They are in and on a revolving world. Everthing is perceived as being important because it all has meaning, though it still makes no sense. Everything impacts them deeply. Most commonly used phrases include things like;
"Time to take a good look at myself."
"I don't even know myself?"
"What's important?"
"What can I do for my 'Self'?"
This phase proves to be the most dangerous, where people may become lost without being found because they drown in the experiences of weak faith. They have generally not been given the essential tools for this, the essential experience. This phase will be all about learning how to "Flow" if one hopes to survive it.
"I don't think I know...I just know I'm thinking" will change into "I think...Therefore, I AM."
Here again, they lose their 'selves', that they may find their 'Self".

CROWNING PHASE-(I AM)
In the Crowning phase, you begin seeing your 'Self' as the Divine does. The viewpoint splits again into two perspectives - Compassionate & Empathic. These people spend the majority of their time helping others. They are in and on an Evolving world. Everything is important because you sense it. They impact everything deeply. Most commonly used phrases include things like;
"I would share a moment with you."
"I AM."
"It is the little things that matter most."
"What may I do for you?"
This phase brings with it a new set of dangers as Empathy unfolds and you have a hard time distinguishing from your own emotional moods/feelings and those of others around you...hopefully by now you've mastered breathing and have already learned 'How to Flow'.
"I think...therefore I AM" will change into "I AM...therefore I think."
Here, they understand there are no 'Lost Souls' as GOD is very aware of where every one of them are.
So in closing, please take it from 'Me'
work on your 'Self'
and you will see 'I AM'.
your humble servant,
ancient clown

Believing Less and Less in "Karma"

Katrina — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 23:16:36 GMT

In researching the actual meaning of Karma, I find that it's a highly interpretable word that sometimes has to do with cause and effect and other times has nothing to do with cause and effect, but seems to be a more "personal reality" based concept. What does Karma mean to you?
"Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is."
"What is" can always and constantly be changing, if we choose it to be. If we choose NOT to believe in something or to believe in it, then that is what, IMO, creates ultimate reality in the here and now.
What do you think?

Wikipedia definition :
Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root kṛ, "to do") is a word of ancient origin meaning action or activity and its subsequent results (also called karma-phala, "the fruits of action"). It is commonly understood as a term to denote the entire cycle of cause and effect as described in the philosophies of a number of Dharmic Religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives which they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations: "karma". Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

Throughout this process, many see God as playing some kind of role, for example, as the dispenser of the fruits of karma[1]. Other Hindus consider the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.[2][3][4] Some interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita [5] suggest an intermediate view, that karma is a law of cause and effect yet God can mitigate karma for His devotees. Another view holds that a Sadguru, acting on God's behalf, can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple. [6][7][8]

The "Law of Karma" is central in Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism (religions born in India and Nepal). All living creatures are responsible for their karma - their actions and the effects of their actions - and for their release from samsara. As a term, it can be traced back to the early Upanishads.

The Law of Karma is taught in the esoteric Christian tradition, Essenian and later Rosicrucian, as the "Law of Cause and Consequence/Effect" [9]. However, this western esoteric tradition adds that the essence of the teachings of Christ is that the law of sin and death may be overcome by Love, which will restore immortality.

Actions do not create karma (good or bad) only when the actions are performed by an individual in the state of Moksha. Such a person is called "Stithaprajna". Adi Sankara gave the dictum of "Akarmaiva Moksha" which means "Moksha can be attained only by doing, not by a process of effort". All actions performed by one in the state of Moksha are termed as Dharma.

Hindus believe that everything in the Universe is in the state of creation, maintenance or destruction. The Hindu trinity of Gods Brahma (creator), Vishnu (maintainer) and Shiva (Destroyer) correspond to the states of creation, maintenance and destruction. At the thought level, the mind creates a thought, maintains (follows) it for some time and the thought ultimately dies down (perhaps to be replaced by another thought). The Hindus believe there is a fourth state of being (called Turiya) where the mind is not engaged in thinking but just observes the thoughts. Actions in the Turiya state do not create karma. The practice of meditation is aimed at giving individuals the experience of being in the Turiya state. An individual who is constantly in the Turiya state is said to have attained Moksha. In such an individual, actions happen as a response to events (and not because of thought process); such actions do not result in accumulation of Karma.

The process view of release (moksha) from ego-consciousness (ahamkar) through individual responsibility for the totality of action with its inherent karma can be contrasted with the soteriological view of mainstream denominations of Christianity: grace given by faith in the suffering, death and resurrection of a singular savior.

Spending Energy

Forgive posting in different tribes, this topic is very important to me.

I am learning to feel the subtleties of energy and am wondering at all the different ways I expend energy. If I spend 2 hrs a day at the gym, does that mean I don't have healing energy left? What are the different types of energy? And what are some tecniques I can use to make sure I have plenty of energy left to do the physical things I want to do as well as the Spiritual? How are different types of energy used, depleted and harnessed?

SO, HOW SAFE IS YOUR SEX? TRUTH YOU WON'T HEAR FROM THE CDC!

Craig — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:27:25 GMT

You have heard "Their Truth"…Now Learn the REAL TRUTH!
(Excerpted from Channelings from Commander Hatonn of the Galactic Federation at the height of the AIDS scare.)

“Man was created to find his ultimate joy in the emotional soul fulfillment—not in a water bed with intrusions or protrusions—those things were designed for the procreation of a species.”—Hatonn, 3/28/1990

“You will find that in monogamously paired homosexual males, three-quarters of the passive partners manifest sperm-induced immune dysregulation (as a result of anti-sperm antigen contamination of the system). The immune dysfunction induced by sperm debilitates the system quite apart from infection by an AIDS virus. Although AIDS development per se may involve the transmission of the HTLV-III/LAV lentivirus (HIV virus)--except in cases of bestiality--the development of sperm-induced immune dysfunction predisposes the anal-sperm-recipient homosexual males to the more severe phenomena of opportunistic infections and Kaposi’s sarcoma. Immune responses to semen provide a background of immune suppression, not only promoting repeated CMV (cytomegalovirus) infection, but also exacerbating the resulting immunologic disorders. In other words, "HEALTHY SEMEN" CAN ALSO MAKE YOU SICK.

“Although AIDS is not what we can consider a “sexually transmitted disease” in the usual vernacular, it is most certainly transmitted by sexual misuse and/or abuse in a compromised recipient. HTLV-III is most certainly a sexually transmitted disease through the rectal mucosa, and is usually vulnerable to the passage of the AIDS agent as well in a compromised vaginal passage. From a purely biological perspective, sodomy—even apart from the transmission of AIDS—is an intrinsically unsanitary and pathological act. In addition, the practice of sodomy has been a primary reason why AIDS has been so readily transmitted and fostered among homosexuals.

ORAL COPULATION AND AIDS

“Additionally—in terms of oral-penile copulation—infected semen received into the mouth provides a source of infection through abrasions or lesions on the gums, tongue, and/or roof of the mouth.

“Venereal diseases affecting the mouth and throat are especially problematic among homosexuals. Often going unrecognized for a period of time, the resulting lesions provide ports of entry and exit for the AIDS virus; AIDS-infected saliva also is a potential danger involved in oral copulation.

“Research has yet to determine conclusively whether or not the gastric juices in the stomach prevent absorption of the AIDS virus into the bloodstream after being ingested. Since the eating of AIDS-infected meat is a possible factor in the spread of AIDS among humans (oops! No one told you about that one? I thought not!), consumption of infected semen may also play a role in transmission. ”—Hatonn 3/28/1990

SADOMASOCHISTIC ACTIVITIES AND THE SPREAD OF AIDS:

“The damaging practice of sodomy itself can be classified as a sadomasochistic act. The bloodletting and exchange of contaminated secretions involved in other traumatic homosexual acts further facilitate the spread of AIDS and other diseases. If you don’t confront the facts you will not eradicate the problem.

MANUAL/ANAL INTERCOURSE--FISTING

“Fisting causes bleeding lacerations of the intestines and tearing of the sphincter muscle as you might suspect. These internal wounds provide enormous opportunity for the entrance and spread of AIDS virus and other infections.

“Mechanical devices, dildos, vibrators, etc, inserted into the rectum and lower colon during fisting can puncture the intestinal wall, causing dangerous seepage of fecal matter into the abdomen. If surgery is not performed promptly enough, this can result in death, and you no longer have to concern yourself with AIDS.

“There is Hope and Healing, but it requires instantly stopping the behavior which has contracted the problem in the first place. It is not the homosexual lifestyle that is the culprit—it is the homosexual behavior. No two males (or females) have ever spread AIDS by sharing an apartment or a cook-stove.”

If you or someone you know has or may suspect having been exposed to the HIV virus, get informed…Get Tested. Then do your homework. It could save your life or theirs. I am here to tell you that Total Healing has happened in cases of absolute turn-around of practices and coming into oneness with the Great Healer on a most intellectual (human) and moral (soul) level. But it is up to man to decide between his own limits or Infinite Acceptance. Grace will always intervene on Man's behalf. It is the Glorious Solution to the Greatest Mystery of Life--that of uniting Spirit with Matter. Accept Grace, and you bring Heaven to Earth.

If accepted by the person, everyone has assistance to knowledge from higher planes, extensions of their own Spirit. They come from anywhere at almost anytime, if noticed. I found that besides dreams, I read meaning at night in the sky. It only happens when the Moon is bright enough to illuminate the clouds in the night sky.

I started looking for my signs awhile back, it was a pretty futile search. I was "buying" into things that didn't really exist in my own mind. One night, about a year back, I was upset and staring into the sky when I started noticing images that meant something to me. They weren't abstract either, they were beautifully drawn for me to see. The moment I saw what I was supposed to, they almost always dissipated or floated into something else which changed their shape and made the meaning undetectable.

I thought this was a HUGE break through for me. I finally found it. What occured to me shortly after, was that this didn't just happen. I used to stare up at the clouds when I was a child, mostly during the day. I could see so much up there. I never looked at night, because I was a kid and slept then. The point is that I never needed to search for that, I just needed to remember... Seems to be the common thread.

What have your experiencesx been with signs / intuitions as such?

Thanks and Love for your time!

Katrina

November 11 Pleiadian Portal of Light

Simon — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 19:56:06 GMT

Subject: November 11 Pleiadian Portal of Light

Hello Friends!

As everyone on Earth is riding the waves of Cosmic Energies which constantly wash over the planet, it is quite natural for one to question whether or not he/she is really steering their own ship. One may ask, "Is there an outside force that is propelling me?" The simple answer is an emphatic NO! There is, however, an "Inner Force," an Inner Power (to use a popular metaphor), that is intuitively known to exist, which always seeks to help one navigate the Ocean of Life, and it is this Divine Inner Force which constantly asks, "Are you ready and willing, in this moment, to accept my love and guidance?"

It is true that every day and every moment is a fresh opportunity to step up and affirm, "Yes, I accept my Inner Guidance, right now! What is the next step?" You see, an important first step is taken in mustering up the courage to even affirm, "Yes, I accept." This is called Opening to Receive. Then, in sincerely asking what is the next step, the individual seeker is actually taking ANOTHER STEP. This leaves us with this insight: After asking, "What is the next step?" the seeker may want to mentally backtrack and acknowledge the brave steps that were already taken! This is, in itself, a powerful "next step," and one which anyone can choose to take anytime.

It takes love and courage to step into the Great Beyond, and this is exactly what this "11-11 Pleiadian Portal" is all about. It is where the conscious seeker can tap into a very powerful Inner Source of Power, with the assistance of a group consciousness of Beings of Light (and not only the Pleiadians, I will add). The "secret" is this: You ARE the "Pleiadian Portal" if you so choose to be! You are indeed already a "Human Portal," meaning that you are a Focus Point of Divine Light that is allowing the manifestation (incarnation) of your human self/identity.

The Pleiadians do not wish to "take your power away," (and no one really can, even if they try) and it is thus that they devise simple ways in which they can assist humans in opening their hearts to receive more Divine Love & Light. The Portal is already open (as of today, November 8), and it is timed in conjunction with the Mercury Transit, which represents a "Portal of Acceleration and Communication." YOU are Divinely Powerful in your own right, and possess the inner courage to take the Golden Step into the Great Beyond, which is really the Infinite NOW-Moment!

This Portal is specifically designed to help Lightworkers attune their Heart Chakras to DIVINE INTUITION. Of course, many, many are already highly attuned in this manner, but since there is really no linear "end" to this Ascension Process, even those that are most adept at being clear channels are still evolving and expanding their Heart Chakras, not to mention the other chakras.

The Higher Heart Chakra, which is represented by the thymus gland (which is a small gland located in the upper chest), is expanding to let in more Divine Love & Light, and as it does it thereby expands both the (lower) Heart Chakra and the Throat Chakra, creating more balance and harmony in making it easier to speak from the heart!

This is a mighty gift from the Universe! November 11 is a Day of Clarity, and how you choose to experience it (and embrace it, if you will) is totally and absolutely up to you as individuals. There is no judgment, only choice...

Blessings and thank you!

BANISH BENZENE! – THE CURE FOR HIV, AIDS & SO MUCH MORE

Craig — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:26:05 GMT

The Promise

Step into a new world. A world without chronic diseases. Step out of your old world. It has kept you a prisoner. Try something new. The prison has no walls. It has only lines. Lines that mark the ground around you. Inside the lines are your old ideas. Outside are new ideas that invite you to step over and escape your prison. Dare to try these new ideas and your illness promises to recede. In a few weeks it can be gone. (From the book "The Cure for all Diseases" ©1995 Dr. Hulda Clark)

The Basis of the Discoveries

I have indicated throughout this book the existence of pollutants in food and other products. These pollutants were identified using a testing device of my invention known as the Syncrometer™. Complete instructions for building and using this device are contained in this book. Therefore, anyone can repeat the tests described and verify the data.

The Syncrometer™ is more accurate and versatile than the best existing testing methods. A method for determining the degree of precision is also presented. However, at this point it only yields positive or negative results, it does not quantify. The chance of a false positive or a false negative is about 5%, which can be lessened by test repetition.

It is in the public interest to know when a single bottle of a single product tests positive to a serious pollutant. If one does, the safest course is to avoid all bottles of that product entirely, which is what I repeatedly advise. These recommendations should be interpreted as intent to warn and protect the public, not to provide a statistically significant analysis. It is my fervent hope that manufacturers use the new electronic techniques in this book to make purer products than they ever have before. (From the book "The Cure for all Diseases" ©1995 Dr. Hulda Clark)

53 CURED* Cases the First Year

Cure, not treatment, is the subject of this book. In 1991 I discovered the source of HIV. Once the source became clear the cure became obvious. But would it work? After curing 53 cases in a row, all who used this method, I could wait no longer to present these findings. Since that time many more have been cured, too many to be added to this book [*]. Most important is adding you to that list! (From the book "The Cure for HIV and AIDS" ©1993 Dr. Hulda Clark)
* In the most recent edition of the book, five cases verified by PCR lab testing for HIV have been added.

HIV is a virus.
AIDS is a condition.
Sometimes they occur together.
Sometimes they occur separately.

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

The human intestinal fluke (Fasciolopsis buskii) is the source of the HIV virus. This parasite typically lives in the intestine where it might do little harm, causing only colitis, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome, or perhaps nothing at all. But if it invades a different organ, like the uterus or the kidneys or liver, it does a great deal of harm. If it establishes itself in the thymus, it causes HIV/AIDS!

It only establishes itself in the thymus in some people. These people have benzene in their bodies. All HIV patients (100%) have both benzene and a stage of the intestinal fluke in their thymuses. The solvent benzene is responsible for letting the fluke establish itself in the thymus. In order to get HIV, you must have both the parasite and benzene in your body. The HIV virus belongs to this fluke. It is not difficult to kill this parasite and all its stages.

AIDS is a condition. When the thymus gland cannot "make" enough T-cells, your immunity is lowered. Benzene is the cause of AIDS. Different toxins accumulate in different organs. If you eat or rub in the tiniest bit of benzene it goes directly to the thymus. It damages the thymus so much that everything else is allowed to land there, too: The mercury from metal tooth fillings, the copper from your copper water pipes etc. Is it any wonder that the thymus can't turn out T-cells when it is full of bits of your toothpaste, your hand lotion, your hair spray, toxic food and beverages? (From the book "The Cure for HIV/AIDS" ©1993 Dr. Hulda Clark)

Abstract/Summary

The human species is now heavily infested with parasites, particularly the intestinal fluke, Fasciolopsis buskii, the sheep liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, the pancreatic fluke of cattle, Eurytrema pancreatica, the human liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis, and the common roundworm, Ascaris. The increase in fluke parasitism is due to the establishment of a new "biological reservoir" in cattle, fowl and household pets. The increase in Ascaris parasitism is probably due to harboring of household pets.

At the same time, micro-contamination of the human food supply with derivatives of the petroleum industry has occurred; these include solvents, antiseptics and numerous products used directly in the food industry. In the presence of benzene, Fasciolopsis buskii, can complete its entire life cycle in the human body, not requiring a snail as an intermediate host, as it usually does. Other solvents contributing to parasitism include isopropyl alcohol, methanol, xylene, and toluene, which now occur as residues in our foods and pollute our body products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, lotions and cosmetics. These solvents are also contaminants of animal feed, and thus are responsible for establishing the new biological reservoir or source of infection of flukes.

Different solvents accumulate preferentially in different organs, a phenomenon known as organotropism. Benzene accumulates in the thymus, resulting in damage to the thymus and completion of the life cycle of Fasciolopsis in the thymus. A stage in the life cycle of Fasciolopsis brings with it the HIV virus. This stage is normally found in snails, and indeed, I have found many snails infected with HIV. In the human, its preferred tissues of colonization are the thymus and penis in the male and the thymus and vagina in the female. The HIV virus has not yet become a human virus, since it disappears within 24 hours after the last fluke stage has been destroyed. However, it could become a true human virus through mutation, no doubt. For this reason it is of paramount importance to end this new kind of parasitism in humans quickly.

Removal of all solvents from the patient's lifestyle and destruction of all fluke stages as well as elimination of undercooked beef, turkey, chicken and dairy products in the diet results in quick recovery, generally less than one week, from HIV infection. HIV/AIDS could be eradicated in a very short time by clearing our food animals and household pets of fluke parasites and by monitoring all food and feed for solvents.

The cause of benzene accumulation in some persons and not in others appears to be due to a lack of a vitamin, riboflavin (vitamin B2), eating more of a common food toxin, 4,5 benzopyrene, and more of a mycotoxin, zearalenone. 4,5 benzopyrene is present in grilled, broiled (flame heated) foods, even ordinary toast, while zearalenone is plentiful in chips, popcorn and brown rice. The role of vitamin B2 is to speed up benzene detoxification to phenol.

Since developmental stages of the intestinal fluke are found in blood, breast milk, saliva, semen, and urine and can be seen directly in these body fluids using a low power microscope, it follows that this parasite can be transmitted not only through sexual contact and blood, but by kissing on the mouth and breast feeding, and childbearing. However, the recipient would develop HIV/AIDS only if benzene were accumulated in his or her body.

The methods used to obtain all these results are discussed in “How To Test Yourself”. A simple circuit is also described which can be built by a novice and allows anyone to reproduce my results.
(From the book "The Cure for HIV/AIDS" © 1993 Dr. Hulda Clark)

On a NEED to know basis.

Ancient — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 17:31:55 GMT

This was passed on to me by a sometimes distant brother whom I love, though often butt heads with, and I thought it should be shared so I'm posting it on all the tribes I'm in.

Word Wise
The governments can be very "tricky" in their wording of things. Something to make yourself aware of and wise to very quickly if you want to gain the upper hand. Armed with the information here, all American visitors are challenged to search their own laws and see how much of the data provided here applies to them in their country - as well as all other western nations. Only by searching out the truth of the laws and your original rights and freedoms yourselves, will you be empowered to protect your 'natural person' as a human-being.
Here's 4 tricks outlined below:

FIRST TRICK:
The first "trick" of the government is the re-definition of certain critical words in each Statute(Act). They(the government) want you to assume the ordinary meaning of the word so as to trick you into reading and interpreting the Statute in their favour. Two key words that are re-defined in almost every statute are the words "person" and "individual". There are at least two "person" in law:
A 'natural-person' is a man or woman, created by God.
An 'artificial-person' is a corporation, created by Man.

Here are the exact definitions from Barron's Canadian Law Dictionary, 3rd edition:
natural person. A natural person is a human being that has the capacity for rights and duties.
artificial person. A legal entity, not a human being, recognized as a person in law to whom certain legal rights and duties my be attached - e.g. a body corporate.

You will observe that the natural-person has the "capacity"(ie ability) for rights and duties, but not necassarily the obligation. The artificial-person has rights and duties that may be attached(ie assigned) by laws.

SECOND TRICK:
The second "trick" of the government is to use the Interpretation Act to define words that apply to all Statutes, unless re-defined within a particular Statute. Without this knowledge, you could assume the ordinary meaning for the words you are reading, not realizing that they may have been re-defined by the Interpretation Act. Unless these words have been re-defined in another Statute, the underlying definitions for the two most important words still apply, either from the interpretation Act, or the Canadian Law Dictionary. Basically they are defined as follow:

from the Canadian Law Dictionary we find that:
INDIVIDUAL means a natural-person.
from the Interpretation Act we find the re-definition:
PERSON means a corporation(an artificial-person).
from the Income Tax Act we find that:
INDIVIDUAL means an artifitial person.
PERSON means an artificial person(amongst other things)

In the Canadian Human Rights Act you will see how INDIVIDUAL and PERSON are used and how they apply to natural and artificial persons.

THIRD TRICK:
The third "trick" of the government is to use the word "includes" in definitions instead of using the word "means". They do this in some critical definitions that they want you to mis-interpret. If they used "means" instead of "includes" then their deception would be exposed, but by using "includes" they rely upon the reader to assume that "includes" expands the definition, whereas in reality it restricts the definition in the same manner that "means" restricts the definition.
Here is a "means" definition of the word "person" from the Bank Act:
PERSON "means" a natural person, an entity or a personal representative;
Here is an 'includes' definition of the word "person" from the Interpretation Act:
PERSON, or any word or expression descriptive of a person, 'includes' a corporation.

To expose their deception, substitute the word 'means' and you have PERSON, or any word or expression descriptive of a person, 'means' a corporation.(viz-artifitial-person)

Both "means" & "includes" are restrictive in scope because they only encompass a part of the whole. Typically they are used in the following form:
person 'means' A or B or C(and nothing else)
person 'includes' A and B and C(and nothing else)
There is a Legal Maxim that supports the restriction of "includes":
Inclusio unius est exclusio alterius...The inclusion of one is the exclusion of another.

The definition of the word "include" is key to understanding your potential loss of natural-person. This is the major trick used by the government in an attempt to take away your natural-person rights. Unless you know this, you will voluntarily forfeit your rights.

FOURTH TRICK:
The fourth "trick" of the government is to modify how the word "includes" is used in order to make an EXPANSION in the definition when such expansion is required. This "trick" helps add confusion to the use of "includes" convincing the readers that "includes" is modified to become expansive rather than restrictive:
also includes
and includes
includes, without limitation
including
the expansive definitions usually take the following form:
PERSON means A or B or C and includes D.

DEFINITIONS:
Barron's Canadian Law Dictionary does not provide definitions for "include" or "means" therefore we have to look in the next 'source' for the definitions.From Black's Law Dictionary, 4th edition, here is the definition for the word "include":
include. To confine within, hold as in an inclosure, take in, attain, shut up, contain, inclose, comprise, comprehend, embrace, involve.
including. may, according to context, express an enlargement and have the meaning of 'and' or 'in addition to', or merely specify a particular thing already included within the general words theretofore used.
inclose. To surround; to encompass; to bound; fence; or hem in, on all sides.

It is stated in the above definition that the verb INCLUDE only has limited scope. On the other hand the participle, INCLUDING(but not limited to) enlarges the scope. When used in a definition, INCLUDE does not expand the existing definition of the word. It is easy to confuse because we naturally assume the existing definition of the word, then assume INCLUDE means to add this new interpretation to the existing assumed definition of the word. Our assumptions fail us in this case. From now on, when you see the word INCLUDES, mentally substitute the word MEANS and you will not be "tricked" by this definition anymore.

FOR THE DOUBTING THOMAS:
If you look into any statute, you will be able to find a definition that uses the word INCLUDES and when you attempt to broaden the scope of that word, the statute will break down because it will not be able to support the inclusion of the ordinary meaning of the word.

Today we live in a world where we are told that our fundamental rights still exist, but there are times when we wonder how this can be so. For example, we can have the full force of the law brought down upon us with a traffic violation, income tax regularity, refusing to fill in census forms, etc. These offences do no harm to another human being and in no way violate any individuals fundamental rights and freedoms, so we ask "how can this be?"

The answer is that your fundamental rights and freedoms are still intact as a natural-person, but you have been tricked into believing that you have to follow the Laws created for the artificial-person.
Following the Second World War, the United Nations Assembly prepared the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.The assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
I have never seen this done in any school. Have you?

In order to impliment SLAVERY of it's citizens and control them according to its whim, the government had to invent a system that would not violate a human-being's fundamental rights, but would allow the government to "own" everything produced orgained by its citizens.The technique used by the government was to create a CORPORATION for every human-being in Canada. As creator of a CORPORATION, the government can demand anything it wants from the CORPORATION. As a legal entity, a corporation does not have feelings and cannot be hurt. It can be subject to slavery and complete domination by it creators and the corporation must obey its creator. These corporations must then have a business number and so one is assigned to each PERSON it creates.
Such a number is called a S.I.N.(Slave Identification Number aka Social Insurance Number)
Finally, the government needs to appoint an Officer of the CORPORATION to run the day-to-day activities. Such a position requires a contract since the Officer will be held accountable for the actions of the CORPORATION. So, the government tricks John Doe to become the Officer for the JOHN DOE corporation by signing such contracts as Driver's Licence, BankAccounts, Citizenship Cards, Passports, etc.
In the 'Income Tax Act', the government just decrees that John Doe is the legal Representative for the Officer of the JOHN DOE Corporation and the only contract involved in the annual Income Tax Return(yes it is a contract for one year) wherein John Doe gives his aggreement as Officer of JOHN DOE for the previous year. Unfortunately John Doe does not know that he is an Officer for the JOHN DOE corporation and must therefore follow the rules imposed upon JOHN DOE. Hence the confusion sets in because John Doe believes that he is JOHN DOE and therefore has to forfeit his rights and duties upon demand by the government and its officials.

CAPITALIZATION:
There are five different levels of capitalization used in names of "persons";

human-being: john doe
natural-person: John Doe
quasi natural/artificial-person: John DOE
corporation/artificial-person: JOHN DOE
Nomme de Guerre: DOE, JOHN

Here is a summary of the rights and freedoms of the above "persons":
The 'human-being' has all the unalienable rights and freedoms as provided by GOD.
The 'natural-person' has all the rights and freedoms as provided by man with the Magna Charta and Canadian Bill of Rights.
The 'quasi natural/artificial-person has lost some rights, but not all rights. At this time it is not evident how to quantify which rights have been lost.
The 'corporation/artificial-person' has limited rights and freedoms as provided by the creator of the Corporation.
The' Nomme de Guerre has no rights and freedoms and is a complete slave to the Admiral.

There is so much more than what I have just shared here. It is only the tip of the iceberg. But it is also enough to make you aware of what you are up against and the deceptions built into our system of rule by governments.
Somethings to think about.
I have no ID, no drivers license, no passport, no bank accounts, no address.
I AM, a human being. I require no such things.
Free yourselves now.
your humble servant,
ancient clown

"An Apple A Day..." or "One Way To Get THERE" - The Benefits of Cider Vinegar

Craig — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 18:55:56 GMT

Many people are now convinced—Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV), that wonderful “old-timers” home remedy, cures more ailments than any other folk remedy and has been highly regarded throughout history. In 400 B.C. the great Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, used it for its amazing health qualities.

The reported cures from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar are numerous and include: allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, Candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, gout, and even heart pain. Apple Cider Vinegar breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has soaring blood pressure under control in two weeks!

For centuries, the benefits from cider vinegar to fight infection, promote digestion, fighting osteoporosis, have been well known. One of the first goals on the way to great health is to restore the body's pH to the alkaline range. As nearly all chronic illnesses take place in a body that has become acidic due to the gradual depletion of its mineral reserves, it is logical to check on the body's acid/alkaline balance and to work towards maintaining it in the alkaline range. The state of the body's acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using pH strips.

INTERNAL BENEFITS:
. Rich in enzymes & potassium
. Naturally supports a healthy immune system
. Helps control weight
. Helps soothe dry throat
. Promotes healthy digestion & pH balance
. Helps remove body sludge & toxins

ACV is also a natural antibiotic germ fighter, fights E. coli and other bacteria. It is an excellent remedy for food poisoning and helpful in digestive upsets. ACV helps control and normalize weight and improve digestion. ACV helps relieve arthritis stiffness and rheumatism.

Use two teaspoons (2 t.) in a pint of water daily for yourself—or one teaspoon in the dog or cat’s drinking water—as a healthy tonic. Drink a daily tonic of apple cider vinegar to help you keep the right pH balance in the urinary tract, since the proper acidity creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and yeasts that cause these infections.

EXTERNAL BENEFITS:
. Helps maintain healthy skin
. Helps promote a youthful, healthy body
. Soothes irritated skin
. Relieves muscle pain from exercise

ACV helps to maintain healthy skin, promote youthful, healthy bodies. Soothes pain of sunburn, the itch from bug bites, and the sting from plants. ACV helps prevent dandruff, itching scalp, baldness, and dry skin. ACV soothes tight aching joints, sore muscles. Apple cider vinegar also removes sebum and environmental and product buildup on the hair shaft.

COMBINE WITH NATURAL BEE HONEY TO:
. Relax the nervous system
. Promote deep sleep
. Relieve rheumatism
. Relieve arthritis
. Relieve bone and muscle pain and soreness
. Relieve heart ailments
. Relieve stress
. Relieve insomnia

Mix organic apple cider with pure raw honey and drink at night before going to bed. Great for calming nerves, promoting relaxation and relief of bone related ailments. Adjust the amount of vinegar and honey for comfort and taste. See my recommended recipe here:

RECIPE:
250 mL (8 oz) Purified Water (warm enough to melt honey)
1 to 2 teaspoons Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic recommended)
1 to 2 teaspoons Honey (Local, raw, non-GMO recommended)

(Honey comes from flowers and has a very light energy. I recommend honey from flowers that are known to provide support for heart and lungs. Use local honey to help provide relief from allergies and build immunity.)

Apple Cider Vinegar is proving very beneficial to people and animals with arthritis because it breaks down calcium deposits in the joints while re-mineralizing the bones. It has shown to be equally beneficial to dogs with hip dysplasia. ACV is also effective for urinary tract infections, and it lowers high blood pressure. In animals, it is helpful in skin and coat problems and in replacing potassium depletion. (Cranberry juice is also a well-known home remedy for urinary tract infections. It prevents bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract.)

A new University of California-Davis Medical Center study shows that daily consumption of 12 ounces of apple cider or apple juice can reduce the risk of heart disease. And the benefits don’t stop there. A recent Cornell University study found that the antioxidants in apples also inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells.

ACV has been found to protect arteries from harmful buildup of plaque. Many heart attacks are caused by high amounts of fats and cholesterol in your blood. The fiber in ACV helps to absorb fats and cholesterol by expelling them from the body as waste materials.

ACV is used to promote the health of veins and capillaries; it is also useful in assisting in the health of the heart. The potassium found in apple cider vinegar is also beneficial to the heart.

The dietary fiber in ACV is beneficial in controlling glucose levels in the blood. Minerals like manganese, calcium, magnesium, silicon and iron develop bone mass and make them stronger. It is also a rich source of amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

ACV boosts the immune system and acts as a natural antiseptic and anti-biotic. Apples contain Vitamin C and flavonoids, which helps with wound healing and in reducing the severity of colds and flu symptoms. Apple cider also has acetic acid, plus ion-futynic lactic and propionic acids. It is the richest source of amino acids known.

Apple cider cannot cure cancer, but it is valuable to have around to help fight free radicals in the body. Beta-carotene, found in apple cider vinegar, is a powerful antioxidant, which helps to neutralize the free radicals formed in the body through oxidation. To prevent these free radicals, and to keep them in check, we need antioxidants to rid our body of these potentially dangerous compounds. Left alone, free radicals have the run of our bodies; they damage cells, which leads to cellular degeneration. The pectin in apple cider vinegar adds fiber to the diet, which helps prevent cancer, especially colon cancer. Fiber binds with certain cancer-causing compounds in the colon, and speeds up their elimination from the system.

VITAMINS IN APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
. Vitamin C
. Vitamin E
. Vitamin A
. Vitamin B1
. Vitamin B2
. Vitamin B6
. Pro-vitamin beta-carotene
. Vitamin P

MINERALS & TRACE ELEMENTS IN APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
. Potassium
. Calcium
. Magnesium
. Phosphorous
. Chlorine
. Sodium
. Sulfur (the mineral - not the sulfa, which some people are allergic to)
. Copper
. Iron
. Silicon
. Fluorine

BENEFITS FOR YOUR DOGS (AND OTHER PETS):
Every home with dogs should have Apple Cider Vinegar. It has multiple uses for dogs, including: alleviating allergies and arthritis, and establishing correct pH balance of the system.

Added to your pet's drinking water, ACV has shown to maintain the acid/alkaline balance of the digestive tract. To find your dog's pH level, get some pH strips at your local drugstore. First thing in the morning test your dog's urine. If the strip reads from 6.5 - 7.0, then your dog's system is what it should be. If the pH is higher, then the system is too alkaline, and ACV can help to establish a correct pH balance.

Use a few drops in your dog's ears after cleaning to avoid ear infections. ACV can be used in the prevention of muscle weakness, arthritis, calluses on elbows, hocks and joints, pimples, and sore joints. It has also been shown to be useful in the prevention of bladder and kidney stones, and bladder and kidney infections.

A dog with a correct pH balance is less likely to be bothered by fleas, black flies, ticks, and other external parasites. Its regular use results in less chance of ringworm, staph infections, streptococcus, and mange. If you are already experiencing these problems, dilute ACV with equal amounts of warm water and sponge onto your dog's coat.

You can also mix a 50/50 vinegar-water solution and add to a spray bottle to spray the coat. The ACV balances the pH of the skin and makes it less desirable to bacteria, bugs and infection. Not only that, but their coat is very soft and shiny. Applying undiluted apple cider vinegar to the affected area can soothe bee and wasp stings, as well as itchy mosquito bites.

MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION:
I have personally used and highly recommend Bragg® Certified Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. It is unfiltered, unheated, unpasteurized, has 5% acidity, and contains the amazing Mother of Vinegar, which occurs naturally as strand-like enzymes of connected protein molecules.

Bragg® Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is made from delicious, healthy, organically grown apples. Processed and bottled in accordance with USDA guidelines, it is Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers and Oregon Tilth; and is Kosher Certified.

Bragg® Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar is full of zesty natural goodness. It is a wholesome way to add delicious flavor to salads, veggies, most foods, and even to sprinkle over popcorn.

Bragg® Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar has a pH of 4.075, Concentration/ Strength = 63 grain, Acetic Acid = 5.14 %, Potassium = 24mg/T. <2% DRV / RDI.

Many blessings,

Light Workers Unite - New Moon Invocation for Divine Government

Craig — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 18:23:33 GMT

In astrological terms, the New Moon is the best time for new beginnings, as it adds a new infusion of potential, opens fresh new possibilities, and is the perfect time to write down what you want to manifest, to set goals and start new projects. Writing down your intentions helps give them form. Do so 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon for the best results.

Thus, in light of the approaching New Moon on Sunday, October 22, 2006 at 1:14 AM EDT (Saturday at 10:14 PM PDT), and in the shadow of the recent "Cosmic Trigger" event of 10:17, I would like to share a practical way for Lightworkers to set coherent intentions for themselves and for the emerging New Earth. This will be the next to last New Moon prior to the Dawn of the Maya Fifth Day on November 24, 2006--which falls (ironically) on Thanksgiving Day in the USA. So make the most of these Magickal energies.

DIVINE GOVERNMENT INVOCATIONS
By Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

Put on some beautiful instrumental music. Relax and absorb the musical tones into the deepest recesses of your Being. The music will assist you in accomplishing your portion of the Divine Plan during this sacred activity.

The tones in the music are cleansing every cell, molecule, atom and electron of your physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies. Allow the music to hold the focus of your attention, as it lifts you into the full embrace of Your I AM Presence.

Affirm with deep feeling:

This very moment, I surrender my lower human consciousness to the perfection of my I AM Presence.

I AM ONE with the Divine Heart and Mind of every man, woman and child evolving on this sweet Earth. From within the silence of my heart, I affirm with One Voice, One Breath, One Heartbeat, and One Consciousness of pure Divine Love:

I AM a Beloved Child of God, and ALL that my Father-Mother God has is mine.

I invoke the All-pervading Light of the Universe, the Supreme Source of all Life, the Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent Cosmic I AM-All That Is.

I kneel within my heart in recognition of the Light of the Cosmos, and I draw forth the Flames representing the Threefold Activity of Life, as exemplified by the Holy Trinity:

I invoke the blue Flame, which represents the Divine Power of my Father God.

I invoke the pink Flame, which represents the Divine Love of my Mother God.

I invoke the yellow-gold Flame, which represents the Divine Wisdom of the Sons and Daughters of God-the Solar Christ Presence.

Beloved Father-Mother God, come now and assert your rightful authority within me and within ALL Humanity. Show me how to reverently and humbly express the perfectly balanced activity of Love, Wisdom and Power daily and hourly in my life.

O Supreme Light, I acknowledge you in all Life.

I give gratitude to the glorious Cosmic and Ascended Beings, as I invoke them and the great Angelic Host to amplify the energy, which I AM now releasing, to assist with the fulfillment of the Divine Plan. May that Light expand and expand, as it travels throughout the Universe, ever widening the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, in fulfillment of God's Will.

Beloved Presence of God-the Source of All that Is—I love and adore you. I acknowledge you as the owner and giver of my life, my intelligence, my substance, and my all. Seal me in the Love, Wisdom and Power of Victorious Accomplishment. Blaze your Light and Love before me and prepare the way, that I may always walk the path of Light. Guard and protect me; guide and direct me and give me the Illumination of the Truth that will set me FREE. Help me to BE your Divine Love in action at all times, and sustain your Love through me to bless all Life I contact.

I dedicate my life to the manifestation of Divine Government—a government OF the I AM Presence of Humanity, BY the I AM Presence of Humanity, FOR the I AM Presence of Humanity.

I invoke the I AM Presence of every soul that is in any way associated with the governments of the Earth to direct, sustain and expand the portion of the Divine Plan, which is that soul's destiny.

I invoke the Legions of Light throughout Infinity to direct their full-gathered momentum of Loving and Illumined Obedience to God's Will into the feelings, minds and worlds of all governmental and business leaders throughout the planet.

Through the Power and Presence of Almighty God, I AM determined that Divine Government shall manifest NOW and that ALL Humanity shall follow the Will of God.

And so it is, Beloved I AM.

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL AND THE LEGIONS OF POWER & PROTECTION

In the Name, Love, Wisdom, Power and Authority of the Beloved Presence of God, I AM, blazing in my heart and in the hearts of all Humanity, and by the Power of Light's Victory now made manifest on Earth, I invoke Archangel Michael and the Legions of Power and Protection to come forth NOW!

Beloved Ones, descend into Washington, D.C., and the surrounding suburban areas. With your Sword of Blue Flame, CUT FREE (3x) every force that is not of the Light. Encapsulate these energies in your Cosmic Circle of White Lightning. Lift every electron of this negativity into the arms of Divine Grace. Instantly Transmute it, cause, core, effect, record and memory, back into the Light.

Beloved Archangel Michael, I ask that you now direct your Legions of Power and Protection to expand this Divine Service into every state, city, town and homestead in the United States of America. With your Sword of Blue Flame, CUT FREE (3x) every force that is not of the Light. Encapsulate these energies in your Cosmic Circle of White Lightning. Lift every electron of this negativity into the arms of Divine Grace. Instantly Transmute it, cause, core, effect, record and memory, back into the Light.

Beloved Ones, expand this Divine Service now into every country, nation, city, province, town and hamlet on Earth. With your Sword of Blue Flame, CUT FREE (3x) every force that is not of the Light. Encapsulate these energies in your Cosmic Circle of White Lightning. Lift every electron of this negativity into the arms of Divine Grace. Instantly Transmute it, cause, core, effect, record and memory, back into the Light.

Beloved Legions of Light, in the full Authority of God's Will on Earth, I COMMAND that in every location where negativity was removed, the patterns of perfection for Divine Government be established, NOW and FOREVER.

Through the Presence of God, I AM, I ask for a special Cosmic Dispensation:
Beloved Father-Mother God and the Legions of Light throughout Infinity, envelop Washington, D.C., the United States of America and every country on Earth in the Fiery Embrace of the Flames of Divine Wisdom, Transfiguring Divine Love, Divine Will, Purity, Truth and Illumination until Divine Government and all of the infinite patterns of perfection associated with Divine Government are firmly established in every country of the World.

I make this Invocation, Command and Decree through the Power of God, I AM.

And So It Is. Beloved I AM.

CLEARING THE WAY FOR DIVINE GOVERNMENT

In the Name of the Almighty Presence of God, I AM, and through the Creative Fire pulsating in every heart...

I invoke the Goddess of Liberty, the Goddess of Justice, the Goddess of Freedom, the Goddess of Victory, the Silent Watcher of Washington, D.C.—Beloved Columbia—and all of the Mighty Guardians and Cosmic Beings who dwell in the Etheric Complex over Washington, D.C.

Blessed Ones, come forth now, and assist me with the most powerful cleansing activity Humanity and the Earth are capable of receiving during this Cosmic Moment. As one unified heart, I now invoke the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Violet Transmuting Flame of Forgiveness and Forgetfulness.

Blaze, Blaze, Blaze this Sacred Violet Fire in, through and around all inharmonious actions, all lower human consciousness and all obstructions of the Light that I, or any part of Life, have ever placed into the pathway of Life's perfection. Through the Divine Power of Forgiveness and Forgetfulness, Transmute this discordant energy, cause, core, effect, record and memory, NOW and FOREVER.

BLAZE and SUSTAIN the Violet Flame with the power and might of a thousand Suns and the Cosmic Blue Lightning of Divine Will, Power, Faith and Authority from the Great, Great Central Sun in, through and around:

* The President of the United States of America and his cabinet—NOW and FOREVER.

* The Senate and the House of Representatives for the United States of America—NOW and FOREVER.

* The Supreme Court and ALL Courts of Law, and ALL legal procedures—NOW and FOREVER.

* The United Nations and ALL of its members—NOW and FOREVER.

* ALL world leaders and those associated with the governments of Earth at national, state and local levels—NOW and FOREVER.

Through the Supreme Eternal Mercy and Compassion of the Cosmic I AM-All That Is, I accept the Divine Fiat that the Golden Essence of Illumination, Wisdom, Understanding, Enlightenment and Truth shall now rule, guide and protect all Humanity.

God's Will for the United States of America and ALL countries of the World SHALL MANIFEST, and the Divine Plan will be fulfilled. Divine Government is the order of the New Cosmic Day on Earth. I so decree it and accept it done. Beloved I AM.

INVOKING GOD'S DIVINE PLAN

Beloved Presence of God, I AM, within me and within all Humanity, Beloved Ascended Masters, Mighty Cosmic Beings, Legions of Light throughout Infinity, and the Great Cosmic Momentum of God's Divine Plan for ALL Life evolving on this planet, COME INTO ACTION NOW.

Blaze the full-gathered Cosmic Momentum of God's Divine Plan for every man, woman and child on this planet through the hearts and minds of every soul.

MANIFEST NOW (3x) the full power of the Divine Plan into, through, and around the four lower vehicles of every individualization of God evolving here.

Blaze the power of the Divine Plan directly into all that which opposes the Dignity of Womanhood, of Manhood and of Family Life. Transmute and dissolve forever the cause, core, effect, record, memory and tendencies of all behavior that is not reflecting God's Divine Plan, Oneness, and Reverence for Life.

Replace every destructive behavior pattern with Majestic Goodness, God-Honor, God-Reverence, and God-Respect for the Divinity within every Child of God unto the full manifest expression of the I AM Presence within every soul.

Great Ascended Host of Light, I thank you for the fulfillment of this Divine Fiat, which I decree in the Sacred Name of God-I AM.

CALL FOR DIVINE GOVERNMENT, I AM, I AM, I AM

I call forth the great Beings of Divine Government and the Beloved Ascended Masters guarding the evolutions of this planet to blaze the Sacred Fires of God's Perfect Will and Divine Illumination in, through and around the electorate and government officials of all nations.

Let them feel the Power and Love of our Father-Mother God flowing through their Hearts, as they elect their governments and vote on all issues before them.

I SEAL this call in the Cosmic Threefold Flame anchored within the hearts of all Humanity.

VICTORY IS OURS, AND LOVE GOVERNS THIS PLANET! (Repeat 3x)
And so it is, Beloved I AM.

PURIFYING VIOLET FLAME DECREE

In the Name of the Presence of God, I AM, and through the magnetic Power of the Sacred Fire vested in our hearts and in the hearts of all Humanity, I invoke:

The Elohim of Purity, and all of the Legions of Light associated with the Cosmic White Lightning of Purification; Archangel Michael, and all of the Legions of Light associated with the Sword of Blue Flame; ALL of the Angelic Legions associated with the strength and purity of God's Will; and Saint Germain, and all of the Legions of Light associated with the Violet Fire of Transmutation, Freedom, Justice, Liberty and Victory.

Beloved Ones, come forth NOW, and blaze your radiant Flames of Light through:

* All Embassies, Chanceries, Consulates, and all offices of the international representatives in Washington, DC.

* The Capitol Building, the Congressional Office Buildings, and the Senate Office Buildings.

* The State Department, the White House, and the Executive Office Building.

* The Pentagon, all military bases, and every office and business concerned in any way with military affairs.

* The United States Government Departmental Offices of any kind throughout the World.

* The Supreme Court, all lower courts of Law, and all legal proceedings.

Now, Blessed Ones, expand this activity of Light. Traverse the planet North, South, East and West, and blaze these powerful, purifying Flames in, through and around ALL government and military buildings. Purify and Transmute ALL government and military activities associated with each and every country in the World.

I ask the I AM Presence of every government official and employee to PURIFY the consciousness and the mind of each one. Replace all negative thought patterns with Divine Consciousness and the desire to manifest God's Holy Will—in ever-expanding action—until Divine Government is firmly established here on Earth. Close in upon and TRANSMUTE anything that is hindering the expansion of God's Divine Plan for the governments of the United States of America and of all the nations of the World.

TRANSMUTE (3x) ALL that is not of the Light, cause, core, effect, record and memory, before it can act, manifest or any longer be sustained. TRANSMUTE all negativity into the pure Light of the Cosmic Three-fold Flame and the Twelve Solar Aspects of Deity.

We accept this call fulfilled, as God's Most Holy Name, I AM.

GRATITUDE TO THE ANGEL OF RESTORATION

Mighty Angel of Restoration, in grateful humility, I acknowledge your Presence in the Universe and the tremendous service you are rendering to the Planet Earth and her evolutions. I thank You for sustaining a canopy of Light over Washington, D.C., and I now offer you my energy and the good of my Causal Body to help you expand and sustain this canopy of Light over all the countries in the World.

I ask you to SEAL all governments on the planet within a constant outpouring of the Crystal Flame of Restoration until all Life is purified, restored, and manifesting God's Plan for Divine Government on Earth.

I consecrate and dedicate my vehicles to be the Open Door, through which the purifying process of the Sacred Fire will flow, to restore all into Divine Perfection.

Beloved I AM.

INVOCATION TO THE ELOHIM OF GOD'S FIRST CAUSE OF PERFECTION

Through the Presence of God, I AM, in me and in all Humanity, I invoke the Mighty Elohim of God's First Cause of Perfection and the Legions of Light associated with the sapphire-blue Flame of God's First Cause of Perfection.

Blessed Ones, come forth now and blaze your sacred Flame into the cause and core of all human mis-creation in Washington, D.C., and thence through every government capital in the World. Go forth now with your invincible Angelic Legions of God's First Cause of Perfection, and sweep through every government building, every office and every home in the city of Washington, D.C., and in every country in the World. Transmute the human desire to use free will destructively, and replace it with the intense desire to serve God and Humanity.

I ask for a Special Cosmic Dispensation: that you now permanently station Your Angelic Legions in Washington, D.C., and in all world government centers on Earth, to ensure that all rates of vibration that tie any individual to activities of discord or imbalance be quickened to a point where they are set FREE in the Light.

Protect every soul from accepting negative human and spirit suggestions, and help each one to be a receiver of the Forces and Inspirational Activities of God. Assist each one to be a willing participant in the fulfillment of the Divine Plan of establishing Divine Government on Earth.

Give added protection to those Life-streams who are already manifesting God's Will through their Divine Plans, and protect them from all interference that would seek to disrupt the establishment of Divine Government on Earth.

I consciously accept this done Right Now, eternally sustained and all powerfully active, ever expanding and world encompassing, until Divine Government is manifest in every country of the World.

DECREE FOR THE EARTH AND HER NATIONS

In the Full Power and Authority of the Beloved Presence of God, I AM, we, the Children of Earth, humbly come to the Throne of our Father-Mother God to invoke into the physical plane of Earth the most intensified activity of God's Will ever manifest in the history of time.

We invoke the Legions of Light serving this blessed Earth to absorb this Divine Essence into every fiber of their Beings and to project it into the Heart Flame and conscious mind of every person associated with the governments of this planet in any way, shape or form.

Blaze the Cosmic Flame of God's Will through each of these souls and clear away any destructive activity of their own free will, which might rush in to impede their conscious desire to do God's Will.

Help them to become and to remain faithful and obedient to the Law of Harmony and to BE God-In-Action at ALL times.

Seal all government positions, individually and collectively, in the radiance of God's Will.

Reveal, through Illumination's Flame, the Divine Purpose and Plan for each office and for each individual, and give to each person the Spiritual Courage, Fortitude, and Desire to fulfill that plan perfectly.

Let the Will of God be MANIFEST in, through and around all the governments of the World, NOW and FOREVER!

Let the LIGHT OF GOD, WHICH IS ETERNALLY VICTORIOUS, illumine and lead ALL Humanity everywhere!

We consciously ACCEPT this MANIFESTING NOW, even as we call:
BELOVED I AM. AMEYN!

Message from Ker-On of Venus 17 October, 2006

Craig — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 22:12:45 GMT

Ker-On 17-October-06

Like an express train hurtling towards its destination, Humanity is
Ascension-bound and great forces are impelling its unswerving progress.
No one but you as individuals have chosen their place aboard, and you
have done so through the evolution of your spiritual understanding. To
some, the growth in their consciousness seems stifled by the fascination
and pull of the 3rd dimension. It simply means that they have not
resolved the issues of living in the lower vibrations, and progressing
beyond them.

There must come a point when it is realized that this dimension is not
your true reality. It comes with the understanding that it has been
created by Man, and that there is much more that can be aspired to that
will replace the duality you experience. The original blueprint was
conceived by those Beings empowered to co-create with the Creator, and
it was once a true reflection of the higher realms.

It remained so until Humanity desired to exert their own Will to create
independently. As such they gradually became lesser creations than those
originally conceived, and accordingly, the vibrations were also lowered.
Creation as envisaged in its perfection no longer became possible, and
the individual power of instant creation was eventually lost.

However, all thought is followed by energy, and the mass consciousness
took over. With little realization of the consequence of using thoughts
without regard to the outcome, an ever-decreasing vibration resulted. It
led to the low point that has featured for the last century, that has
seen Man forget his soul connection to each other. Worse, Man has denied
the Creator of All That Is, worshipping false Gods and idols of his own
creation.

Now the truth is beginning to surface, and as you look around, you see
the obscenity of war and the lack of compassion of those that have
orchestrated such events. However, there is a conscious awakening among
many that Man is his Brothers' Keeper, and that peace and harmony are the
requisites needed to lift the vibration up again. The love and caring
that will carry people forward, and enable the dark to be left behind is
beginning to flourish. Small groups have been laying the foundations of
recovery, upon which even greater developments will find a foothold.

Never at any time in your current cycle have you experienced such a
pronounced change in your consciousness. There is a new energy that
grows by the day, and will soon change the Earth and everyone upon it.
It challenges any pre-conceptions that you may have had as it reveals
all that is not in harmony with it. If you cannot respond, it will be
unsettling for you as it seeks to uplift the energies. It is all part of
an ongoing plan to ensure that the end-times will see as many souls as
possible step onto the higher pathway.

"Go with the flow" is excellent advice, and try not to have too many pre-
conceived ideas as to how this period will transform, beyond the
knowledge that it is pre-ordained. This is a waiting period for which
all preparations have been carefully planned and carried out. It is
manifesting now, and your own upliftment may give you a clue as to its
power to change that which is no longer able to be carried forward.
Where there is presently turmoil or even chaos, realize that there is
also change, and it is part of the necessary cleansing that is affecting
the whole planet.

If you reflect upon the fact that you have been traveling through the
lower vibrations for many centuries, you might consider that by
comparison, in this recent period you have been going forward in leaps
and bounds. It may seem that events are slow in unwinding, but that is
not really true. It largely arises from your being unable to see the
whole picture. Be trusting and know that there are great Beings from all
over the Galaxy that have come to assist in your Ascension and that of
Earth. Faith is all that is required to protect you from the assault by
the dark upon your senses. They try to cast doubt where you have trust,
and fear where you are able to stand in your Light and Love.

Dear Ones, we know how much you have suffered and the sacrifices you
have made in the interests of experiencing duality. It may at times
sound like a game, but it is a serious exploration on your part of the
lower realms, so that you may serve others in the light of your
experience. Each and every one of you, with absolutely no exceptions,
has excelled yourself by playing out every conceivable drama between
the dark and Light.

Be understanding and compassionate of those who you see opposing the
Light, as they too have a future path that will lift them up. You are
not your physical body, but a Being of wondrous Light, and before very
long you will rise up again and see each other in the majesty of your
true selves. Do not deny your connection with the Creator, and
acknowledge your Godself within. It is not egotistical or blasphemous
to do so, as you will be allowing your consciousness to open up once
again to the truth of your source.

At the soul level you are made in God's image, and your natural way of
being is one of unlimited Love and Light. Because it is so, you should
find it natural to move into this energy. Try to bring this concept to
the forefront of your mind. Apply it to daily matters and your
interpretation of world events, so that you can stay centered within
your Light. It will help you through what will be a coming testing
period, when you will need to be in full control of your emotions.

I am Ker-On, a Venusian and member of the Galactic Federation, and
confirm that matters are coming together that will finally release you
from duality. The next few months are showing several possible
opportunities for events to be concluded. Know that we are with you to
ensure your victory, and no matter what fearful utterances are made, do
not succumb to provocation. You have never been in a stronger position
than now, and your Light will see you through. Our love and blessings go
with you at all times.

Thank you Ker-On. Mike Quinsey.

The “Re-Wire” – Human Rewiring By Beacons of Light 10/15/2006

Craig — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 04:19:23 GMT

Greetings from Home

Dear ones, you are here on a very magical planet. You are here at a special time and you stood in line to be here at exactly this moment in order to make a difference. You asked to be put in some very difficult situations so that you could go through the processes you needed to gather the information and gain your credentials as a healer or a teacher or whatever role you were planning to play. Now those sacred contracts are being enacted. Some have begun and some are yet to unfold, but you are on the path.

Ages: Cycles of Mankind
We tell you there are many times throughout human history where you have gone through evolutionary periods…cycles, if you will. These cycles started in the very early times. They go far beyond the history that you know, for much of your history you believe goes back about 2 million years and we tell you that as souls on this planet, you go back much farther than that.

In the very beginning when the planet was hot and gaseous and did not have the physical form that it now has, you inhabited the planet then as spiritual beings, as ethereal beings without bodies. It wasn’t until billions of years later that you took physical form and began your journey on this planet in a physical bubble of biology. That evolution from ethereal beings to physical bodies was a huge shift. Your own history books will tell you about many of the other cycles, the smaller cycles from the apes into Homo erectus, Homo sapiens and Cro-Magnon man, but it is so much more than that. So what happened at the end of those age cycles? That is the biggest question. What took place? You are about to find out, for you are at the end of one of those age cycles now.

The Rewire - 12 Strands of DNA
As such, there is something happening on this planet to each and every one of you that you will understand in a very short time. Humans are being rewired. You are doing it yourself. It is a part of your natural, evolutionary process. No, it is not anything to be feared. It does not mean that spaceships are coming down and planting implants in you. What is happening is that you are evolving to a point where you can begin reconnecting all 12 strands of DNA. It is to a point where you can start activating some of the other chakras that you do not even know are there. Your energetic structure is about to change. So is your planet.

If you look at the planet, you will see that it is heating up. You call it global warming, but it is so much more than that. Please understand that although the release of greenhouse gasses has sped up the process dramatically, this is a natural, evolutionary cycle. In the beginning it was very hot and gaseous and vibrating at a very high rate. As it cooled, it gained density and you had to take denser form as well in human, physical bodies. You have been at this part for a long time and now it is starting to turn the corner again. It is starting to heat up. Oh, yes. We can tell you all the fun things. We can give you information that you can go into fear about if you so choose, but please understand that fear is not needed in this situation. We can tell you that you are about to enter a new ice age on Planet Earth and we have said that before and that is absolutely true, and yet you, as souls, will move through it beautifully. It does not mean that all life will be leaving this planet. It means that you will be evolving. Your thoughts of an ice age are far from the events ahead. All it really is is a cooling of the planet. It is a natural evolutionary cycle where the energy will be redistributed. It is almost like saying the Earth, Herself, is being rewired. In that same way, so are you.

Both Sides of the Brain will be Rewired as One
There is the rewiring of mankind, which is beginning today. The two halves of the brain, that had to be separate to give you the illusion of the field of duality, are starting to join together. Instead of having small, synaptic pathways that move back and forth between the halves, as you evolve as humans, the two halves will become one. The illusion and the veil actually exist between the two halves of your brain, for the left side is the marker of time. It gives you the illusion of living in a field of duality and gives you the illusion of linear time, which gives you a path to follow. It gives a spirit a game to play as a human. Your right brain is the all-creative brain but does not have any concept of time. It has no concept of boxes that things fit into. That is the other side of the brain. Those two are beginning to grow stronger with this rewiring. It is not simply a case of new or improved synaptic pathways between the two; it will be a blending of the two as the human animal evolves to contain a higher vibration of spirit…for it is not the human that is evolving. It is the spirit that is evolving, causing the human shell, the bubble of biology, to change to accommodate it. That is happening now, with great anticipation from our side of the veil.

To Keep Balance – Give Balance
You will see things that are a direct result of this. One is that there will be more premature children brought to this Earth in the next 5 years than ever before because there is a rush to get in here to experience this exact process. Watch for it. We also tell you that there are many things that are going to happen as your global changes take place, and yet all of it is changeable by you. You may make this an easy transition or you may make this a difficult transition. The interesting part is that it is not how you go through it; IT IS HOW YOU HELP OTHER PEOPLE GO THROUGH IT THAT IS GOING TO HOLD THE ANSWER TO YOUR PLACE AND YOUR SACRED CONTRACT. You are not the only one going through it. The blending of the two sides of the brain, the rewiring process itself will help you become aware that you are a part of each and every one on this planet and that no one is ever alone. Yet, in order to get there, you must go through the polarity. You must stretch it. We tell you that if you look around you, you may actually say there is more depression on Planet Earth than ever before. It is because of the stress of this rewiring process, so help each other with it. Help each other to be there at the right time, for THE GREATEST THING THAT SOMEONE CAN DO TO TAKE THEMSELVES OUT OF WORRYING ABOUT THEMSELVES…IS TO BE OF USE.

There was a great wizard of money and monetary systems on your planet who once said, “If you want to make money, the easiest way to do it is to help other people make money.” We tell you the same thing. If you wish to have a beautiful experience on this planet, figure out a way to help other people have a beautiful experience on this planet, for that honors the connection between all. That honors the rewiring process that is not only happening with you, but is happening with Planet Earth Herself.

Rush to Be the First
Yes, there will be turmoil. There is always turmoil when humans are confronted with change. That is why you are here. You can be called into action with the knowledge that can bring calm to a changing planet. We also wish to mention that we are speaking as if today is a line in the sand. There are many of you who have been going through this rewiring process for years, especially those of you who call yourselves Lightworkers. Some of you pride yourself on being ahead of the game. There is almost a fear of spiritual competition with some of you because you want to be there so early. It is very frustrating for you to be there and not have anyone around you who understands you. We tell you, many of you have been going through this over the last 5 years. What is going to happen when you get to the other side? That is what you want to know: what does the destination look like, especially since the picture we are painting of the journey is not always so pretty? We tell you that EVERYTHING IS THE JOURNEY. There is no destination.

The Twelve Yous
We have been preparing you for one of the changes you are about to experience. Multidimensionality is one interesting piece that you will begin using in your daily lives as part of your practical magic. We tell you that there is much magic here. If you understand that you are on this planet as an individual, you believe that is all you are, but in fact, science tells you that you will exist in 11 other dimensions of time and space. We tell you 12 because there is actually a point of perception which we count as one dimension. So there are 12 different yous on this planet having slightly different experiences as one soul. If you take this row of chairs, and say, “That is one of you,” and you take this row of chairs here and that is another one, you have a different expression of the same soul on this planet in these different timelines. They are all taking place simultaneously, because linear time is an illusion; it is a product of the left-brain and it gives you the Game board on which to play. What would it be like for a soul that is living in this dimension to jump over here and grab a viewpoint, an idea—a solution to a problem—and bring it to here? That is multidimensionality, and you are about to experience more of that than ever before. Would it not be wonderful for you to find a very difficult point in your life where you did not have any answers and excuse yourself from that entire life and get a different viewpoint of your own soul and come back into it with a renewed, refreshed, vigor, and a viewpoint of multidimensionality? That is about to happen to humans. The interesting part is that much that you perceive as human difficulties are not difficulties. They are a path that you have laid out for yourself. They are processes where you have pushed yourself through side doors. Much of it is an adjustment of your thought patterns.

Indigos and Crystals
We tell you, this is about to become much easier than ever before. The Crystal Children are being born on this planet, for you are evolving very rapidly in your vibration. But the children coming in are being born at a higher vibrational rate, and Indigos and Crystal Children will co-exist on this planet for a very long time and help to adapt a higher vibration. They will teach you how to use multidimensionality. There are so many things that you can see. What is your reality anyway? It is nothing more than a perception. If you have a camera in this brain of yours and this camera is pointed over here, then that is your reality. IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR REALITY, THE EASIEST WAY IS TO CHANGE YOUR POINT OF PERCEPTION. Simply look at it from a different angle. That is much easier to do when you are in a state of multidimensionality. You are about to see this as a reality. Your belief systems constantly keep you from using many of these tools on yourself, so use them on other people. Help other people who get into these difficulties. Help them see themselves from a different perspective. That is what will hold the key to opening all humanity to the rewiring process.

Rewiring Interruptus
Let us explain this as well. There are times when the physical body needs grounding. It needs constant refreshing of physical attributes for the body only exists in the physical world. It needs water. It needs food. It needs sunlight. It needs hugs. It needs intimacy, sex, nurturing and the touch of others. It needs grounding to keep you in the physical confines of Earth. Sometimes if a soul is not properly grounded or not grounded enough to go through the rewiring process, the process can overload the body and can be interrupted. The interruption of this process at critical stages can cause a cycle to begin where the hypothalamus gland begins to overproduce. The ungrounded physical body is then set into a cycle that causes energy illnesses such as the ones that you have labeled Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, and other similar energy disorders. This has been more common among people who tend to lead the way vibrationally as they often live closer to the edge vibrationally than do most people. Incidences of these energy disorders are likely to increase as time goes forward. Your first experiences with multidimensionality can cause you to lose grounding and get stuck in between energetic dimensions and set these cycles into motion. Many times there is a reason why the higher self chose to take on this condition. In that event one cannot move forward into healing until they have fully received the gift of the illness. Then with proper grounding and energetic techniques you can help people to ground and start the rewiring process again.

Good Grounding
There are grounding techniques that many of you will experience, for it is important to honor the body. If you spend all your thoughts waiting to rid yourself of the body in an ascension process, then it is quite common for the body to energetically check out during a rewire. Do not think that you are going to be growing wings and sprouting into angels right away. The body serves a wonderful purpose and as this rewiring process happens, you are going to see more of the capabilities of what your physical body can do with the spirit. With the spirit at the helm of the physical bubble of biology, it is also somewhat limited by that physical bubble of biology. You have created the veil so thick, you do not even re-member that you are spirits. It is absolutely amazing to us to look at you, bumping into each other. Your greatest desire was to come in here and be confused. You have been very successful, yet we tell you, that is about to change. The entire process is starting to shift for you now as this rewiring begins for all.

Yes, you who are watching, or listening to or reading this, ask, “What is this going to do for me today?” Find your role, dear ones, for many of you have activated a Sacred Contract that you know nothing about. You can feel it pulling but you do not know where it goes. That is normal. That is the normal state of humanity at this point. Very few people know what their Sacred Contract is, but the pull—that little bit of knowing—is all you need at this moment, for it will lead you well if you do not think it to death. Take it out of there and move it into the feeling instead of the thinking. Blend the two together, for you are not going to move completely into the right brain and exist over there. You are going to be blending the two together where you can quantify god. Imagine it this way: God is the infinite and exists in the right part of your brain, for you are God, and the left part of the brain is the part that pretends to be a human, the part that quantifies everything and figures everything out by putting it in neat little boxes to give to your children so they can give it to their children, and so forth. You have done such a good job that you actually believe you are human. That is so funny on our side of the veil. You teach everyone that you are human, when in fact you are spirits playing a game. You have forgotten the veil. That is a testament of your own creative abilities. You have done very well, dear ones.

Define Infinity
Now, the veil is about to thin. We ask you not to stop putting things in boxes, for that is the definition of God. Why are you here? You are here to define God. You are playing this game so that you can see God, because in an infinite state God cannot study Himself-Herself. There is no definition. There is no beginning or end. By coming into these bubbles of biology, you are actually a definition of God. That is beautiful. The challenge is that you do not trust it. Of course, when we talk to you about being God, the first thing you think about is, “I am God. I can do anything.” Re-member to keep in mind that you are not the only God. There are many of you here on this planet as sparks of God, sparks of the creator who have the ability to carry all the powers of the creator within that little spark. You have taken a finite form, so that spark, much like a spark on a grinding wheel, is only lit for a little while before it falls back into the energy cycle of the whole once again. That is about to change, for the spark is starting to carry more of the energy of who you really are with this rewiring process.

New Modalities
Are there modalities that can teach this? Yes. The good news is that there are new modalities popping up on this planet every day. The bad news is that you have to find out which one works for you. Are there ways that you can help with this rewiring process? The biggest is your intent. The biggest is your step into your Sacred Contract, whatever that is. Wherever your heart leads you, where your passion is allows you to vibrate in a different way and as you vibrate differently, everyone around you starts vibrating at that rate and you raise everything around you to match your vibration. Fear it not. Know that there will be more talk about the rewiring of humanity, but your rewiring has begun and it is happening on a global basis and you will understand more of the process as you start seeing more of your abilities. The two halves are starting to reunite.

We tell you that any time these abilities show up on Planet Earth, there has always been fear. Just embrace it and know that fear is nothing more than a shadow. Is it not interesting that it is only possible to be afraid of the unknown? Once you fill in that vacancy with the information that was missing, you cannot be afraid of it any more. You may not like it, but you cannot be afraid of it any more. Fill in the information. Embrace the fact that humans are evolving. It is an exciting time. This is why you chose to be here right now. We tell you that there are more souls trying to come into Planet Earth than can be accommodated. Many of them stepped aside to let the chosen ones come in, and here you sit. Know that those who stepped aside for you are cheering you on from the other side of the veil.

This rewiring process will activate healers on this planet like never before. It is time and we need you now. Heed the call, dear ones, and step into your Sacred Contracts. You can help each other, for you are the Human Angels. When you come Home, you will finally see yourselves the way we see you. You will understand that even though you spend most your time thinking you are not doing anything and you look in the mirror and you cannot re-member who you are or you think you are alone, you will begin to understand how great you really are. You will begin to see yourself from our perspective. We hope that as you become multidimensional, you take the opportunity to shift yourself into our eyes, for we see the greatest of the great. Only those of the highest vibration were coming into the Earth at this time to make a difference, and here you are. Enjoy the ride, dear ones!

We leave you with three simple reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect. Nurture one another at every opportunity, for you are nurturing yourself. Re-member that it is a beautiful game. And play well together.

Truth to consider on the 10:17:2006 Cosmic Trigger

Craig — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 22:25:14 GMT

I found during the Wesak Full Moon in April that these Truths can be most effectively integrated when contemplated in solitude and silence or meditated upon in a natural setting. I found them to be a perfect subject for Tuesday’s 10:17 Cosmic Trigger event.

Although this unique event has a duration of only 17 Earth hours beginning at 10:17 am, I have come to believe that one could spend 17 lifetimes on this profound and sacred material and still only scratch the surface of its Spiritual Essence and implications.

Even if you have nothing more planned than Silently Being on Tuesday, I hope these Truths will inspire you to shake off the shackles of earthly attachment and to contemplate the Promise of Spirit Life beyond the Veil of Maya.

May blessings of Peace and Joy in abundance be upon you and your Family. Om Shanti. Peace. Shalom.

THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS OF GOTAMA THE BUDDHA

[Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11]

The First Noble Truth with its three aspects is: "There is suffering, dukkha. Dukkha should be understood. Dukkha has been understood."

[Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11]

The Second Noble Truth with its three aspects is: “There is the origin of suffering, which is attachment to desire. Desire should be let go of. Desire has been let go of.”

[Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11]

The Third Noble Truth with its three aspects is: “There is the cessation of suffering, of dukkha. The cessation of dukkha should be realised. The cessation of dukkha has been realized.”

[Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11]

The Fourth Noble Truth, like the first three, has three aspects. The first aspect is: “There is the Eightfold Path, the atthangika magga—the way out of suffering.” It is also called the ariya magga, the Ariyan or Noble Path. The second aspect is: “This path should be developed.” The final insight into arahantship is: “This path has been fully developed.”

THE EIGHT-FOLD PATH

The Eightfold Path is presented in a sequence: beginning with Right (or perfect) Understanding, samma ditthi, it goes to Right (or perfect) Intention or Aspiration, samma sankappa; these first two elements of the path are grouped together as Wisdom (panna).

Moral commitment (sila) flows from panna; this covers Right Speech, Right Action and Right Livelihood—also referred to as perfect speech, perfect action and perfect livelihood, samma vaca, samma kammanta and samma ajiva.

Then we have Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration, samma vayama, samma sati and samma samadhi, which flow naturally from sila. These last three provide emotional balance. They are about the heart—the heart that is liberated from self-view and from selfishness. With Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration, the heart is pure, free from taints and defilements. When the heart is pure, the mind is peaceful. Wisdom (panna), or Right Understanding and Right Aspiration, comes from a pure heart. This takes us back to where we started.

These, then, are the elements of the Eightfold Path, grouped in three sections:

1. Wisdom (panna)
Right Understanding (samma ditthi)
Right Aspiration (samma sankappa)

2. Morality (sila)
Right Speech (samma vaca)
Right Action (samma kammanta)
Right Livelihood (samma ajiva)

3. Concentration (samadhi)
Right Effort (samma vayama)
Right Mindfulness (samma sati)
Right Concentration (samma samadhi)

The fact that I have listed them in order does not mean that they happen in a linear way, in sequence—they arise together. We may talk about the Eightfold Path and say “First you have Right Understanding, then you have Right Aspiration, then....” But actually, presented in this way, it simply teaches us to reflect upon the importance of taking responsibility for what we say and do in our lives.

Reclaiming Your Personal Power and Freedom

Craig — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 22:24:44 GMT

By Craig A Combs © 2006

Good Day Everyone,
For those who have ears, they shall hear.

The time to take back your personal power, and to stand firmly and confidently in your own Truth and Authority is NOW! Yesterday was only an illusion. Tomorrow will soon be upon you. Have you readied yourself for flight?

For those who watched the World Cup soccer match between France and Italy, and who still believe that they are powerless against the "Man in the Machine", this was a recent shining example for all of instant karma, indeed of blind justice. The sword of truth can be invoked with little warning, and when it is, there is little mercy for those who side against Truth!

You can run, but you can't hide. That was the strongest lesson I have seen come out of any world-class sporting event (including the Olympics or so-called "World Series"), and to think that 1 billion (yes, I said one billion) people were watching those young men re-write history right before our very eyes. They took back their Power and stood in the Light of Truth. So can you!

But I am sure you also noticed (at least once...hehehe) the prominent logos of some of those "world-class" sponsors, whose names were plastered all over the stadium--and your TV screens--for more than 3 hours. Those are the ones whom many of you still empower with your meek acquiescence, in exchange for your Teflon®-coated reality and Middle-American comforts (e.g. Coca-Cola®, Phillips®, T-mobile®, Air Emirates®--the list goes on and on...)

By now, you must be prepared to let go of blame, shame, and the victim game in order to take back that power that you have turned over to...

YOUR LOCAL AND CIVIC LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS; who have bargained "on your behalf" and "in your best interest" with Big Oil, Big Government, and Big Pharmaceuticals--indeed with the "Powers-That-Once-Were"--and brokered environmental catastrophes and land acquisition deals in the name of "protectionism" and "Manifest Destiny" from their ever-so-transparent spin of outright fear, manipulation, and "we need more" politics; and who have raped, pillaged, and plundered our very Mother who has supported you ceaselessly and tirelessly, and showered you with an abundance of unconditional gifts of Love and Acceptance since you emerged from your own mother's womb; those who have given nothing but blasphemy, shame and arrogance in return—I am talking about the living, breathing, and nurturing Mother Earth--and indeed, those whom you have allowed to highjack the purity of your air, your land, your water, your beaches, your food, your parks, your skies, your swimming pools, your “Purple Mountains Majesty”, your precious summer homes, your sunrises and sunsets; and who even now continue to erode your shores to the point of sterility and toxicity, and to bury your heads even further in that very sand as we speak;

YOUR CHURCH LEADERS, COUNSELORS, ELDERS, AND LAYMEN; yes, those well-to-do smiley-faced pastors, rabbis, priests, nuns, clerics, and ministers who, with their glassy-eyed sermons in their silk and gold-trimmed costumes and sheep's clothing turn you even further against yourselves, your parents, your friends and neighbors, and even your own brothers and sisters, with their divisive "We must come together-compassionate-conservatism" slant, intent only at pushing us all towards complete annihilation through more and more war and division and strife in your very own homes and in the name of God, Itself;

YOUR TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND PROFESSORS; who teach you to regurgitate and mentally masturbate in search of useless trivia, worthless dinner-talk trash, and dying illusions and TV super-heroes of all sorts and genders; all in the name of "history", "science" and "progress" (...btw, who but wars' winners write that history, so precious and sacred to your futile attempts at understanding truth and true knowledge and wisdom of this world and beyond?);

YOUR DOCTORS, SURGEONS, THERAPISTS, AND MEDICAL "PROFESSIONALS"; who claim to know what is best for you, but who secretly conspire and collude with those "Powers-That-Once-Were" to fill their own greed-lined, bottomless coffers and those of the pharmaceutical companies; those "wise ones" who get away with dumping countless barrels of toxic waste and chemicals into our landfills, our children's playgrounds, our streams, rivers, water tables, and our own bodies, simply because there either isn't sufficient regulation of the existing laws , or because those same ambiguous and loop-hole-ridden, impotent laws have been written by the very officials you put in power to "protect you". Government of, by, and for the People does not sell its people out for profit and monetary power and greed.

YOUR LAWYERS, who work in your "best interest", spend millions of dollars in decent and hard-working taxpayers' money and thousands of hours of your precious time on this planet out of greed, vanity and self-interest, and in a futile attempt to "get you what you deserve"? Have you ever considered that maybe your very Soul--indeed your "higher self"--made its own contract before you were even born in order to experience that car accident or medical malpractice incident for some Higher Purpose, such as to expiate a debt from some previous lifetime? Hmmm? So then, who really is to blame?

YOUR PARENTS—who have indeed done their very best on the most basic level if you are alive and reading this message today—who strive to ensure you are safe and secure throughout the time you are under their roof, but who, in the name of loyalty to the "law", would turn you over to the authorities to face enormous fines and possible prison charges, simply because they or their pastors or government leaders may not agree with how you exercise your personal rights to smoke marijuana (or crack for that matter), or to have sex— with whomever you decide is right for you at the time, or in whatever fashion you choose—because they have become so brain-washed by the “Fear-And-Blame” Game that their sense of "moral values" has blinded their own sense of decency, of brotherhood, and of compassion for even their own flesh and blood;

YOUR FRIENDS, PARTNERS, AND ACQUAINTANCES; indeed, even your best friend who would "always think and act for your highest and best", right? That is, as long as they get what they want from the relationship, and IF--I did say “if”--you continue to be the person they met or fell in love with, and IF you don't try changing or bettering yourself or "rocking the boat", God forbid!

YOUR BANKS, TREASURY DEPARTMENT, IRS, AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS, who have driven you into financial debt and ruin for their own immoral, illegal and outright unconstitutional and greedy schemes, in an effort to make a profit on your hard-earned money, the fruit of your very sweat and blood; those who work around the clock with corporate advertisers by their side to make sure you never see the light of financial freedom or fall off the "consumerist" bandwagon...more is better, right? And finally, those who abuse you through the time-perpetuated delusion of legitimate power to tax and spend—No, the constitutional amendment giving your government the right to tax and enslave you, its own American Citizens, was never legally ratified (and never intended to be) by the 3/4 of the states needed to pass—do your homework, folks.

AND MANY OF YOU--YES, EVEN SOME OF MY OWN "FRIENDS AND FAMILY"--will call all this the lunatic ravings of an egomaniacal madman on the brink of self-destruction and critical mass, who is out for his own vain aggrandizement. If it is so, it is just as it should be. I give absolutely no excuses or justification for my words or deeds, and I stand in perfect conscience with my Truth of this wisdom. Can you say the same of yours?

But believe me when I say this: this Truth has opened up incredible vistas of personal power and freedom, and I bless even those who stand in the way of my distribution of this word to the world, for they too are part of God’s Great Plan! This Truth is bigger than all of us, you or me. There is no difference—You are Me, and I AM You; there is no separation. All is One. All else to the contrary is duality, polarity and illusion.

The fear-mongering war-machine and "Powers-That-Want-To-Be" cannot protect you against your Higher Self! Your insolence, arrogance, fears, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors that have dictated your every action (or inaction, as the case may be) have driven your consciousness into complete hibernation. Though it has the potential to be your best friend, your Shadow Side has become your biggest enemy of all. It is time to face those demons within you, and once and for all bring them under your control, and not the other way around. When will you be ready to return to your Bliss?

We are the greatest threat to our own personal liberty. Yes, but we are also the very Leaders we chose long ago to follow, and the Divine Ones we have been waiting for. These are the facts, but don't take my word for it. You have listened to "the Others" long enough. It is time for you to do your own work, to take a good look inside, to stand on your own two feet, and to start refusing to be spoon-fed the "truth" of everyone else.

If you do nothing else, take 20 minutes out of your day today, and connect with your God or Spiritual Essence in whatever still quiet moment you can find amidst the din or roar of your daily activities; indeed, seek out your Higher Self, for you are God and IT waits within You!!! There is no more doubt about that. We are perfect, whole and complete right now. It is time we start acting like it!

And if you truly want to take back control of your life and your freedom, here is a link to one of my favorite web sites where you will find a treasure chest of Truth and Wisdom, if you look with an open and discerning Heart.
mayanmajix.com/index.html

I leave you in Peace and Lightness of Heart with the immortal words from beyond, of a dear companion and teacher who has labored tirelessly for all of our freedoms for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. His name is (Ascended) Master Rakoczi, Count of Saint Germain, Lord of Civilization, and he and his brothers and sisters of the stars wish to greet all of us with a warm heart and gentle smile, very very soon. May Peace return to the hearts of Wo/Men!

Oh Yum Hun Nab Ku Evam Maya E Ma Ho!
(Oh, Great One, Giver of Movement and Measure. All hail the Unity of Mind and Measure!)

Om Shanti. Peace. Shalom. Selah!

Truth reigns. And So It Is!

St. Germain 10-July-2006

I wish to remind you that in your present role on Earth, you are an aspect of yourself chosen to play out particular events that are important to your evolution. You bring with you unfinished business, and also situations that you have previously enacted one way, and now desire to play differently. These are decisions you make between incarnations, with a view to advancing along your evolutionary path. Each and every one of you goes through these times of decision-making.

You do so standing aside of your previous personalities, as the important issue is your overall spiritual progress. You are able to understand the result of your thoughts and actions from within the center of Self, and it reaches out to all those souls that were also affected. At present you can only observe other peoples re-actions, but you do not know of their true feelings or what goes through their mind, and do not therefore have the full picture. The result is that you begin to understand the responsibility you carry with you during your lifetimes.

The outworking of karmic situations therefore challenges you to make decisions that are commensurate with the lessons to be learnt. Your chances of being successful are enhanced by accepting that you are all One. With this understanding you are more likely to work to the principle that what you do to others, you also do to yourself. You will certainly have reached an advanced stage of understanding when you can view others as yourself.

You are all connected with each other, yet many of your world- wide problems result from believing that you are somehow separate. Many make judgments based on people’s color, or which country they live in. If only more of you could realize that you are souls that exist within the body of God. There will come a time when each and everyone of you will recognize the god within each other. Whatever your beliefs, you are All One choosing to experience in the cycle of duality.

With Ascension coming ever nearer, so the vibrations rise ever higher. With it so will your consciousness, providing you make your physical body a suitable receptacle to receive the higher energies. You will find spiritual progression a quite natural development, and as time progresses it will become that much easier. Of course you have to apply yourself to it, and by your very desire to ascend you attract the incoming energies to yourself.

Clearly people are at all different stages of development, and you cannot necessarily determine how far any particular individual has progressed. By their actions and words you will know the Lightworkers, because they have grasped the truth of Oneness. They live their truth for all to see and are Masters incarnate.

Do not be afraid to express your truth when challenged, the times of concealment have long past. Man has always had a reluctance to stand
up against established beliefs, and in bygone ages the penalty for doing so was often death. It is incumbent upon those who carry the truth of the Light to be open and invite discussion. There is a great seeking of the truth, and people are more receptive to it now than they have been for some time. The general level of consciousness has risen, and will continue to do so because of the ever-increasing vibration upon Earth.

It will not be too long before the Master’s return, and that will bring about revelations of Man’s true purpose and destiny. There will be no question of the truth being misunderstood, and those developing a higher consciousness will intuitively know it to be so. This period of time will be beneficial to everyone, as the facts will impinge on their consciousness regardless of whether or not they accept them. Every minute detail connected with your experiences travels with you, and will be instrumental in determining your future actions.

If you look back a short time, I am sure on reflection you will agree that your consciousness has expanded. Use your understanding to help others who are confused by what is happening. They observe a world going crazy and seemingly hell bent on destruction, and fear disturbs their mind and body. This is when you can gently enlighten people with the truth, and calm their fears. Make it known that they are in a cleansing period prior to the Earth being made new. Let them be aware that those who aspire to ascend with the Earth, can no longer be held back.

Lightworkers will have no hesitation in seeking the path that leads to Ascension, as their time in duality is drawing to a close. They are preparing themselves for the changes, and find they have less attraction for the material things of Earth. The higher dimensions beckon with all of their beauty and harmony, their peace and tranquillity, a heavenly existence that can only be dreamt of in your wildest dreams.

Whilst still upon the Earth, wait no longer to manifest your true self, and be exactly as you visualize yourself, and lift yourself up and flow with the new energies pouring down upon Earth. Allow your love and Light to illuminate everything around you. Your energy along with everyone else’s is helping to manifest and ground the new energies. The old vibrations are breaking up and will soon disappear having no place where the new Earth is concerned.

I am St. Germain, and I would wish to see you acknowledging in all whom you see, your Brothers and Sisters. Their problems are your problems, and it is time to recognize that your destiny lies with each other. The warring must cease, as until it does so there can be no coming together essential to the next stages in preparation for Ascension. I say go about your day to day existence determined to light the way for those who still dwell in the dark and ignorance, let your Light shine out and bring hope and joy into their lives.

Thank you St. Germain.

The Breakthrough Celebration Is A Process, Not An Event

Craig — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 01:07:34 GMT

By: Carl Johan Calleman

For some twenty years or so spiritually oriented people in the world have become more or less accustomed to calls for global meditations for various reasons. Some of the most powerful global meditations have been based on the Mayan calendar in its traditional form, such as the Harmonic Convergence, August 16-17, 1987 (1 Imix and 2 Ik) and the Oneness Celebration June 6-8, 2004 (4 Ahau, 5 Imix and 6 Ik). People then have had deep experiences of contact with a higher reality and we, as a collective, are part of a divinely guided process that is especially strongly experienced at such events.

Yet, despite the power of such experiences, they have been awakened by singular events quite in contrast to the aspect of divine creation that we are in the midst of, the Galactic Underworld—an Underworld is a specific level of evolution of consciousness—which is a process. The Galactic Underworld is in reality an exactly charted wave movement of alternating energies that chart the overall collective development of humanity at the present time. Hence, it would seem that if we are to be a part of this process, and want to help see this divine process of creation arrive at its intended fulfillment, we should actually participate in a collective process rather than just singular, isolated events.

We have now come to a point in the Galactic Underworld where interest in the cosmic plan has become so great that we may jointly start to develop processes to successfully make the transition to the FIFTH DAY of the Galactic Underworld. The FIFTH DAY is the pulse of LIGHT, starting November 24, 2006, that carries the breakthrough energy of this Underworld, a type of cosmic energy that at earlier points led to the breakthrough of Christianity and the Modern World, respectively. Whatever the content of it, we also have every reason to believe that Mel Gibson¹s upcoming movie, “Apocalypto”, will serve to create a breakthrough into mainstream interest in the Mayan calendar carried by this new LIGHT. Given the nature of this breakthrough as a wider collective process, it then seem natural that we look at the dates for the Breakthrough Celebration (Ahau dates, Oneness in Light days) not as isolated events, but as markers, or steps, in a common process.

For the first time in its history a small minority of humanity has now come to realize that we are living in a divine process of creation and that this process is exactly charted by the Mayan calendar. Bringing this realization into mainstream thought is part of the purpose of the Breakthrough Celebration. Such a change is no minor change in humanity’s view of its own place in the universe, and given the inspiration we may find in this, we may soon reach a critical mass where it becomes meaningful to actively participate in this divine process as co-creators. The Breakthrough Celebration is designed for this purpose, and because it is a process rather than a singular event, very likely it will oblige us to work in a totally different way—the way of transforming ourselves consciously and willfully into beings of co-creation rather than, as sometimes has been the case with the singular events, people experiencing temporary spiritual highs. It is a matter of becoming what the human race is intended to become, of realizing that there is no one else to wait for. We are the ones that we have been waiting for— the conscious co-creators.

What we know about the Galactic Underworld, in a larger perspective, is that its DAYS tend to favor the Eastern/right hemispheres of the cosmic mind with consequences for all aspects of human life and strongly influencing such things as East-West-relations, gender relations and the relationship between body and soul. New syntheses and expressions of both inner and outer unity are being expressed in all of these fields, and the question is then if we will be able to drive these transformations consciously, as co-creators with the divine plan, as this is aligned with the Mayan calendar in general, and with the Galactic Underworld in particular. Again, when this happens it will be the first time ever in the history of humanity, the birth of a new kind of human being, “Homo cocreativus”. In my view, I feel we should now embark on such a transformation not only because it may be part of our destiny, but also because, at least in my own view, the Fifth DAY—beginning in November of 2006—increases the probability of a global currency crisis, led by the downfall of the US dollar. The end to Western dominance is now evident all over the world, not only in the economic strengthening of China, India and Russia, but also in the political changes in Latin America and the Middle East. Whether it will be the Iranian Oil Bourse or something else that triggers the downfall of the US dollar, it seems likely that this shift away from Western dominance will be permanented through its downfall around the time that the FIFTH DAY begins. Whatever this change implies, it should create an opening for us to take charge of our destinies and actively co-create the world in the direction where the Galactic Underworld is meant to take us—to a balancing of our relations and an end to dominance.

Personally, I do not think there is such a thing as a panacea for what to do at our present time. Dikshas can lead to enlightenment, but the transformation of the real world into a world of Oneness will require a continuous transformation and co-creation of our world in such a way that the new reality, the world of Oneness, manifests. Hence, while the Breakthrough Celebration includes a recommendation of a series of Diksha days for spiritual inspiration and experience of the Divine Presence, these days are more to be seen as markers for us to relate to as we participate in the transformation of the world we live in. These markers in turn will serve as guidance in the process.

Needless to say, the transformation of the human being into a Being who is a co-creator in the divine plan presents a formidable challenge. In the time of the singular events we would go back to lives more or less lived according to the old paradigms that still dominate society at large. But what would it be like not to go back to that, or if there is no such society in the traditional sense to go back to? For those hoping for life to become easier as we go along, I feel there is not much good news. The challenges are likely to become even greater, and if there is any insurance for the future it is to have a focus on Oneness. At least with such a focus we know that we serve the higher purpose of the whole. The FIFTH DAY will mean a breakthrough into the new reality and this also means a breakdown of the old. Our choice will be whether to deplore the loss of the old or to affirm the New. The future obviously belongs to those that affirm the New.

How then are we to develop the Breakthrough Celebration from a series of singular events to a common process? This, I believe, is what we will have to co-create together, and the starting point must be a commitment to have it be a process. What this means then is to see the time in between the Ahau Diksha, prayer and meditation days as parts of the process. Actually, the process is there whether we are aware of it or not. The process is called the divine process of creation, and its purpose is to fully manifest our own divinity.

Yet, what can we do concretely to develop an experience of the Breakthrough Celebration as a process? I feel we should look at the principle of “paying it forward”, of passing on the baton to the next, and in this way disseminating the new balancing phenomena emerging with the Galactic Underworld, whether it is about strengthening the feminine, developing holistic health or co-creating an end to dominance in the world. Possible ways of doing this are to pass on fires from fire ceremonies from one place to another like an Olympic fire that does not die (or at least blessed matches), passing on Dikshas, or passing on the process in a dynamic way in transforming the world.

Of course, this may all sound like science fiction to the many that think that human beings will never change. But if there is one thing we may learn from the Mayan calendar, it is that it is the energies of the cosmic plan that make human beings become what they are, and that these energies change as the Underworlds change. We have now completed the FOURTH DAY of the Galactic Underworld, which means that step-by-step human beings of this planet have been transformed on an inner level by four DAYS, four pulses of LIGHT in the Galactic Underworld. Certainly many have been transformed, although, in the general societal context of their lives, this transformation has not yet had a chance to blossom. What the FIFTH DAY does is allow for a breakthrough of the accumulated transformation of the previous four DAYS so that it also becomes visibly evident in the external world and allowed to blossom. This is what we are in for, and the Breakthrough Celebration for the transition into the FIFTH DAY presents not only a challenge, but also an opportunity for the new energies to visibly manifest in an altered way of life.

Our Only Real Choice

Heraldo — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 02:00:08 GMT

The central truth we experience through enlightenment is the true nature of the choice we face every moment of our lives: Love vs. Fear. Love is the very nature of The One. Fear (and Fear's evil twin, Anger) is the dream/nightmare of the ego. This is a choice that we cannot evade, and that determines the nature of our experience in this reality.

Love is a state of mind or existence. It is not a "thing" that we give or receive. In every moment of our lives, we are either experiencing some degree of love or of fear, and sometimes both virtually at once. We are either accepting and flowing with existence (love) or recoiling and repelling it (fear). This is the choice we make and remake continuously as our lives unfold. In this matter we each have absolute discretion and power of choice. What we say, goes. The resulting world of our experience is therefore entirely up to us. And the events are themselves affected by our choices.

This is the basis of Karma. In our dealings with each other, we are neither victims nor victimizers. I experience the love or fear that I am choosing, no matter what you are doing. And you are always experiencing the love or fear that you are choosing, no matter what I am doing. When we are both (or all) choosing love, we find ourselves in Paradise together. When we are all choosing fear, we find ourselves in hell--like war or other physical violence, for example.

Most of the time we find ourselves among people who are choosing a variety of shades of love and fear. We like some people and dislike others. We give to some, and withhold from others. We share with those who share our states of mind. All of the great avatars found ways to let go of their addiction to fear and chose instead to live in a loving and fearless state. Their names live on. Such is the great power of their path.

The new paradigm, even now opening among mankind worldwide, is the Path of Love. When it is complete, we will be a new species--homo noophericus, Telepathic Man. We will all consciously share one Mind and the universe will be our New Eden.

That said, here is my response to your question: before enlightenment we were faced with the need to create our personal universe and forge a path in it. After enlightenment we are still faced with the same task. But what is different now is that we have gained the power to wield that power consciously as we choose--we no longer have our noses blindly glued to the ground. From our new perspective we are able to see across the field and pick the path we prefer.

We have no choice about whether or not we will experience change. But we now have the power to direct that change using our power of choice. "What we say, goes." The choice in every moment is Love v. Fear. These are the two paths that always stand before you. What do you choose to create? Does Fear still dominate your considerations? Or have you shouldered Fear aside moment by moment until it has become a servant rather than a Master?

Making a living is like taking a bath, or cooking a meal, or taking a hike. You, as a free and powerful being of light, do it because you choose to do it. And for no other reason. And certainly not because you are afraid (bored, reluctant, avoiding, tired, depressed, angry, etc.).

The "problem" to be solved is to see the truth of your condition in every moment and to irrevocably resolve to choose love instead of fear. You ARE The One. Simply choose to BE the One in every moment.

"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." Gautama Buddha.

New energy Shift

Starzzinmyizz — Sat, 27 May 2006 00:17:01 GMT

Tuesday My left throat glands were swollen and pain ran up the back of my neck and my head felt like it was going to explode. Very intense. I would say it resembles a migraine. Today it has shifted to my right side and there are more specific points on my head that I feel.I had a friend try to clear it for me thinking it was a physical illness. When she tried , Spirit stopped her in her tracks and advised to leave it alone and I was clearing old stuff. I also read somewhere there were new energies at this time that might make people have the same symptoms.
Has anyone else been feeling this shift? It is quite intense.

triple numbers...

Ravenheart — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 18:00:47 GMT

For the past month or so triple numbers (1's, 3's, and 5's) have been showing up in my dreams. I will also look at the clock (without having needed to for hours at a time) at either 1:11, 3:33 or 5:55. I've noticed these triple numbers on radio readout, on bank statements, etc... The other night I was awakened twice from a deep sleep with 3 taps on my shoulder at exactly 3:33 and again at 5:55. Has anyone else noticed this type of increased triple number activity?

Darkness and Entrapment

Sat, 12 Feb 2005 07:23:35 GMT

I wonder if it is the very nature of human beings to be bored by the quest for enlightenment because it implies a pure path. I stopped drinking, smoking pot, raising trouble (not completely), eating sugar (not completely), criticizing others (getting better), ranting (needs a lot of work), anger (definite improvement), and I have to admit...it can get kind of dull.

If I didn't have my secret plan to raise some major shit...I would say I'm dulling myself to death.

I thought the main subject would be quite an interesting one and there is a very diverse bunch of brilliant people in here...yet this is a tribe I sense is on its way downhill...its not that stimulating...

Conflict seems to interest people much more than harmony.

I know ...I shouldn't be bored there are tons of things to be amazed by...the dew drop on the morning leaf....but I would prefer to be on mushrooms all the time..its not that practical and most people would think I'm nuts but most people do anyway...

it just seems that all the galmour has worn off....most of the allurements have long ceased to be of value....society as I see it in Canada is essentially dull and most people are completely asleep.

I know thats critical but isn't it a realistic outlook?

Meanwhile all this bullshit is happening that seems to be slowly eradicating our ecosystem and giving so many people miserable existences...it seems nuts that a culture as wealthy as ours is so dull...

I want to build a Rivendell, turn communities into living art....explore consciousness to the tip of the Supreme Beings nose....stand in awe at the feet of a 1000 year old tree....and yet these trees are being cut down to put a deck in Osaka...

I can't stand it....I can't sit here in this dull existence and continue to receive information about the insanity that goes on...I would rather rave about as a lunatic pi-rate and maybe along the way find some other lunatic pi-rates and start making some serious NOISE!!!!

To endlessly pontificate over what is or is not enlightenemnt seems to miss the point entirely. Supposedly I am enlightened. I went through a process of enlightenment. I have spent nearly every waking moment since I was 20 wondering what the fuck is going on and what is this concept or being or energy called GOD, Great mystery...etc...

For the most part it comes down to my personal choice about what I do with my attention and time and what sort of value system do I create and how do i escape from the conditioning of the group mind and break free of the illusion that I am seperate from all that is. IAM a part of this whole magical Universe and I have the power to create...

and yet i realize that I am here with all of you...who the heck are you????really??????I am attempting to really communicate, expose a bit more of myself....stop the bullshit facade of trying to be anything than what I am in this moment....

I have some seriously trippy shit happen to me alot where it seems that this world we are in as actually aware of you and is always sending messages in the form of a ...a sign on a bus...that answers your thought.....a bell that rings just as you say something...a person that appears.....the wind....the trees ...

Im not on anything right now and I dont know why I am writing this but I figure this is the tribe for people who are spiritually awake to who they are...really awake...to the god consciousness within them....and it seems to me it is time to start collaborating on our spiritual missions....its not a time to be in a cave and meditate...its not a time to be a guru and have some disciples throw some flowers and bliss out...

i may be completely off my rocker but I sense its a time to team up, share our gifts and help shift some energy, heal ourselves...and start sending some messages to everyone who is in the same frequency to unite....to organize...to share....to build...to show those that are still asleep that there is a different way and it doesnt have to be so dull, it doesnt have to be such a struggle....

I keep seeing the message throughout tribe and other gatherings...we are the ones we have been waiting for...well if we are...what the heck are we doing?

The internet gives us a GLOBAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Not that we really need it but I still am not telepathically linked to the degree that i can send this message to you and you receive it. I do feel you. I feel and sense all of you when I put attention on your picture.

Some are open, some are closed. Some are confused. Some are busy. Some are waiting. Some are watching. Some are laughing. Some are dancing...Some are curious.....

I am sitting on something. Something very interesting. I have spent nearly every waking hour of the past 10 years dreaming of it. I have met many people who are part of it. I have always assumed that everyone I meet is connected to it and thats why we meet. This is no different with this tribe.

Yet the spark has not been lit yet. And the timing may not be right. But its getting closer. The people are gathering with their gifts and when all of them come together....you are going to witness something incredible...a positive thought virus that will sweep this planet...

I hear and read the other zealots and smile because I am the same....but for anyone who has completely surrendered and have said I am in...I will be thy servant...show me the way...then you know....but it is a crazy place to be because most people they say it but they don't really live it...to fully trust...to fully know....you have to be crazy...you cannot act like those that still continue to be asleep. The seed of doubt creeps in...the fear surfaces and we get drawn into the matrix, we get drawn into I cannot be that which can create....

So we really don't say our words of truth...it is too difficult...

As I write these words...without editing...I wonder if I shall post this type of honest rant...in the past I have sent out such a message to my own network, my close friends...and not one response...cold hard silence....

and anger would brew and frustration because I knew that which i saw was real..i knew the guidance was strong...but when I hear people who might echo my words I would think inside...that person is NUTS...

So is it a good idea to share ones real thoughts?

Some of you I know..most of you I dont...who are we cells? is this the stomach or the ear? Am I in the wrong place? Is this the right time? For the players are appearing and i sense the end to dullness for we are meant to be magical beings....we have a great destiny and this period of time or timelessness is now...and each moment we are communicating with all that is and all that is is communcating with us.

I don't want to sound like a preacher
I dont want to turn you off
I dont want anything else than to hear your story
and sing your praise
and hear your grief
and find my place
and serve that which is best served by
my gifts and talents
and that which cries out
to bust the grip of that which
enslaves us
and to die doing it
for to live within the confines
is not to live
not for me

Is that enlightenment?
Just a ramble on a friday night
before I go to bed
And I dont know if it stirs you
or ignites you
or inflames you
and if it does any of that
then it was worth writing
even one of you
because it happens one at a time
one neuron fires
and another
and we fire each other
inspire each other
and then
the world transforms

But my darkness
Imagines these words are dull to you
Just another speech
Just another lone zealot
shouting to the wind
having no impact

But that won't stop me
Old Growth is being cut
Animals are dying
children are starving
and its time to do something about it
its time to do something about it
that is my core
That is what moves me
And I hope it comes from love and reverence
and not anger
for at times
I can't tell.

What is Light?

Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:26:00 GMT

The word "Light" is another human term that we use to describe something that defies human description. It is the representation of something we cannot at this moment fathom in everyday egotistical existence. We have learned to call this concept light because light can be exchanged with knowledge such as "shedding light on a subject" or the proverbial "lightbulb" that represents an insight. The word light has been used to describe profound events even in Christian mythology.

In the creation of the heavens and earth, the Christian symbol God said "Let there be light." This came before even the creation of man and hence before the "fall" of mankind. So we could actually consider the possibility that there is a lot of truth even within fear-based religions. It's been human ego that has changed that truth into something way off the original course. I think we were all on the right track to merging back to the universe in the beginning but the advent of self-awareness, ego and separateness became the downward spiral we seem to be in right now. Even in death, other religions see "the light." Which seems somewhat ironic considering the differences in opinion on the meaning of "the light" from one belief system to another. Hmmm...makes one wonder if we are so different after all. Maybe it's just we exist in different levels of darkness or lightlessness.

So my definition of light, as a personal issue, would be letting go of self-awareness and ego, basically the "unlearning" of separateness. As a public issue, it is spreading what we have "unlearned" to others who are ready. It makes for one hell of a paradox when you consider the original definition of light!

Since I am new to the tribe I would like to get some views on what light is to other members here.

Free Will or Destiny and the Purpose of Suffering

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 04:02:00 GMT

The question of free will and destiny has been the source of many heated debates ranging across cultural, religious and scientific communities. The lines of belief have always been very clearly defined. Can there be a agreement between the two and can we use this to define the purpose of suffering?
If we keep our minds open to the possibilities of the universe and always know we have a choice, even if there is Divine planning going on, then we always make the right choice for whatever serves our evolution. The reason life is the way it is is far out of our scope at the moment. A starving, diseased child in a 3rd world country is not consciously making the choice to be there based on their egotistical existence, but the immortal soul of that child did before birth to serve it’s higher good and growth. The soul does not know limitations and outwardly imposed suffering…any suffering the soul experiences is self-imposed and is what is needed to learn and connect to the source that all reality originated in.

Imagine this…our minds cannot comprehend some things so we are not aware of them. Maybe we are not aware of the idea that free will and a divine plan can exist in harmony without contradiction. They are polar opposites as are light and dark, male and female…etc. Can we imagine however a “place” or existence where these things exist together? I think there will come a time in life when these questions no longer exist or are even relevant.

Finding the best way to live your life to your highest good and the highest good of the universe, whether you believe it’s a set path or free will, is the key. Even a combination of both is applicable if you understand and can accept the conflict between the two or do not want to limit yourself to one mindset or the other. For example, you believe in your own ability to choose your path, gently guided by your higher self or spiritual guides, but also knowing that everything is as it should be at any given point in time. You can open yourself up to a world of possibilities based on your intention at the same time as having the security of knowing that you will always be exactly where you need to be for your spiritual growth. It’s like having your cake and eating it too…and from a higher perspective there is nothing wrong with having everything because eventually that is what we are all going to achieve, having and being a part of everything.

When looking at the suffering of others, the best course of action would be to offer your assistance if possible but leaving the choice up to the one in need as to whether they want your help or not. That is nothing short of respecting not only that person’s free will but it is also respecting the person’s divine plan. Feeling as if you have to force yourself upon any situation whether your presence is wanted there or not limits your ego based self from learning what your higher self is trying to show you.

I tend to use my intuition in any situation do decide whether to step in or not. Trusting oneself regardless of the outcome can be the release of a burden that we all carry through life and that is where the security of a divine plan comes in.

Seeing different choices in situations as suggestions for possible outcomes and choosing what feels good to you and feels right serves as a tool to learn and trust and become open to spiritual messages from the higher self, which is my opinion never detached from the source to begin with.

For those of you who want to play devil’s advocate, I have a third scenario but it’s the musings of a mind caught for a moment in Matrix mentality. I tend to ask myself the following question: “Am I my own creation or just a by-product of some eternal universal consciousness seeking to challenge itself? Am I the ultimate Schrödinger’s cat, existing in this state of being only because I am observed to exist this way by some source as yet unknown to me?”

Then free will and divine plan both go out the window…

So Many People Waking Up

I've just gotten back from a 3-day workshop in Boston where 13 people out of 26 participants Awakened. It was quite a sight to see, watching the facilitator zero in on each person's mind and disrupting their story in just the right way for their egos to die completely.

In case you're wondering, I wasn't one of the lucky 50%, but he did help me to release some very deep dramas that have caused me a lot of suffering. Perhaps at the next workshop...

Earth Vibrations

Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:32:06 GMT

I can't find the info on the net or maybe I am just being lazy :)

Has anyone read anything about a recent increase in the natural vibration of earth from 7.5 to 13? Or something to that effect. I have heard this recently and wanted to see if anyone had any good sources of info. I was told that this increase has something to do with the shift of natural polarity from male to female.

Ladies take charge!!! LOL

Is there a Lifeforce warrior within you? - by Indian in the machine

Is there a Lifeforce warrior within you? - by Indian in the machine

Did you know that the constant mining of planetary ore deposits inhibits the Lifeforce available to all of us on planet earth (including the plant world and the animals that exist among us)?
Ore deposits are like the lungs of the earth for Lifeforce
The earth has a Lifeforce (orgone) cycle
Just as there are plantary nitrogen cycles, or oxygen cycles...there is also a Lifeforce (orgone) cycle
Lifeforce (orgone) is attracted to planetary ore deposits
Ore deposits are a composition of metals and nonmetals and a ratio moving towards roughly 50% metal/50% non-metal creates a conductor of Lifeforce (orgone) energy
Lifeforce is also known as "chi", "prana" etc.
Mini-planetary ore deposits can be recreated in your home and community using a composite of metals with fibreglass resins set into a mold and when the mold dries it is called "orgonite"
People all over the world make "orgonite" to create Lifeforce in their homes and communities
It is essential to know that orgonite can be placed within close proximity to technologies that emit DOR (dead orgone radiation) like antennas, powerlines, cell phone towers.
Some people claim that this reverses the DOR these structures emit and changes them into POR (pure orgone radiation) emitters
These same people are often harassed by governments
Governments have known about Lifeforce energy for decades and they know certain technological structures are DOR emitters
You may notice that if you gift a manmade technological structure such as a cell phone tower in your neighbourhood this has the effect of converting it into a POR emitter.
You may notice a white plane with no markings may come by and spray the area with chemtrails
You may also notice the Sylphs (see picture) may appear after this happens and they will use the POR emitting from these structures to neutralize the chemtrails
There are orgone warriors all over planet Earth that are using their newfound knowledge of Lifeforce to co-create the world that they want and so can you
Is their a Lifeforce warrior within you?

Enlightenment and the Mayan Calendar

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 21:17:36 GMT

I recently read the Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Conciousness by Carl Calleman. Within it is a timeline for consciousness development and how it is arranged in 9 Underworlds with us being in the 8th underworld right now.

We shift into the 9th underworld in 2011 where we go through a rapid increase in vibration and it seems we enter into an era of enlightenment. This book explains the mechanics of the relationship to the world tree and how the yin/yang polarities have created a background structure for how and why history has been how it is especially in relationship to east/west consciousness development.

I strongly suggest the book and wonder if anyone out there would like to discuss here the deeper meaning sof the book and how it relates to enlightenment? This tribe has been quite silent as of late and this is a means to restart some discussion.

mysterious forces, re-introduction and . .. .. . ... ... .. .

... and as i laid in the mountain cave, the memories of TRIBE, resurfaced through some mysterious force. i have my suspi cion as to how i was invoked... but that story is for another day.

My name is Rudy Bernard, i am the proud owner, and inventor of the complete system that has found the name of Lightmathematics. What ever the system is, in its entirety, i suspect, is for the transition that is coursed for certainty. That transition, is the melding of all dimensional time. You know, kinda like when you die, and you re momen tarily suspended in time...

Can, and do you visualize your body in all these spaces . Between you and the spaces of infinite porportions, the issue of duality comes up, due to gravity s affairs, with your linear lives.

This relationship spans the boundaries of paradoxes, paast the realms of the cerebral cortex, and even past, emoted charges to beat the heart. yes, and straight through to the air that youu breath, as a part of a type of consciousness that describes the exterior likeness of self. emotions are felt, as the truth of the entire relattionshup of t me spans your breath to meet with your sight.

. . .

For those of you who do not know me, i have a fascination for nonsense as a means of describing the hidden truth. For those of you who wish to know part of my process, two time pieces can be found inthe L and E s gallery photo album. two of a kind, the shaded squares add another dimesional layer...

ITs soo GOod to see that the thread is still here. hello to tha Cap. Em, howler, Roger (wherever youare.) Tiger, the " O " gangs, the divA, PoP, quEEns, rUff rHythm, and Ride and everybody else that i missed.

Be ware of the snakes in the or with greasy traps, or "what ever these hip kids are calling them todayz"... Oh, that is a product of my two, fighting mindz, yet indeed, part of the whole of stability, or just being present and being cautious. If eternity was handed to you on a "platter" would you abandon it, by choosing to be present, or being cautious, but never the two ...

Ground Rules:

What is a forum suppose to do, when it takes on serious topics, such as this topic of light and enlightenment. shoulds ands coulds all describe the howz, but everyones has their own relationship with gravity, force, and the magnetism of what they attract. the size of the ego also attracts its physical output, so it is in the highest degree of the learning curve, to check the ego with presence and caution... of course, this is best recommended when we re feeling really *&@#$?% good, and we want everybody to know it.

A forum that takes it s self too seriously, usually has fanatics, who all bear the deepest regards to love, and for returning to lifes purpose, and placing back, what was once removed. These people s natural balances are others of that calliber, yet they serve another interest, which in complementing symmetry, is their foe... their enemy, or, ...truth. In this tribe, like all tribes you will find them all, why; because portionality is the mind of distribution.

questions... more questions, and then responses, outwardly they would come, from corners unknowns, as eye sees the oceans walls come crashing down, in the horizon of transformation. this is simply because it follows the ARC of light, or some amthematical way of doing business.

" duuuh!,

let's have fun."

Raising Our Sites

Jim — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 00:19:11 GMT

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is akind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."

-- Albert Einstein

To grow in consciousness, we expand our perspectives on life. So how do we do that? The more we work with the universal -- the concept of unity and wholeness, the more everything makes sense. Parts have meaning when they are understood to be parts of a bigger picture.

Consciousness is all about relationships -- especially how the lower relates to the higher and how the darkness can exist within the light. Hold and experience contradictions like anger with love. Let opposites coexist in you without choosing one over the other.

"Higher consciousness, enLIGHTenment, comes from meaningful experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that there truly is only one law - the Law of Love. When one leads a life expressing this belief, the mind and heart begin to open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known."

-- Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune

Today we understand - by Indian in the machine

Today we understand the sky is being poisoned and multidimensional beings called Sylphs (see picture) are cleaning the air
We understand institutions including government, media, universities, corporations etc. do not work in our best interest
We understand we play a significant role....it is us who often play the role of the trusting believer putting off our own responsibilities to humanity
We understand we have been seduced by technology
We understand technology can bring get harm yet today there is no regard for planetary health and vitality
We understand we bring technologies into our homes...and we consume technology in the form of processed foods
We understand that we make personal choices that are not in our best interest, yet we expect others in authority to act in our best interest
We understand that borders, countries, television networks....entertainment industries...are created by those obsessed with the acquisition of power
We understand that we often give our power over to others because they desire it more than we as individuals may desire our own power
We understand that our thoughts are being read by higher intelligence
We understand that our emails and grocery purchases are been monitored by our governments
We understand that vast amounts of information are collected on each and every one of us, yet this information is used to benefit others and not ourselves
We know there are forces out there that want make humanity their personal stable of slaves
We understand that as we move towards lives of purity we reclaim control of our emotions, thoughts, physical and spiritual realities
We understand our space family is likely to appear to us very soon to help us move towards the fifth dimension
We understand that we have Creator-given freewill which must be respected by the universe and that the universe cannot rescue us from our freewill choices
Today we understand that our species is awakening to the reality of what we have become so that we can move beyond the limits places upon ourselves

I am a being of Light, not a number - by Indian in the machine

I came into this world as a being of Light
I feel most comfortable in situations that allow Light in
I am grateful for the Light shone around me of different hues and
frequencies
I wish to live in a world that recognizes the light you and I shine is
not the same
Our Light signatures are as varied as our DNA
People make lots of money influencing each other's Light signatures via
media, education, advertising, movies, videos

We have today's world.....we all currently experience gathering and
assigning each other numbers, membership codes, categories to fall into,
roles to play over and over
And we have this other world.....based on a system that treats us like
Light beings instead of numbers
As a being of Light it is a given that you act would act with total
freedom of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional slavery
And to not enslave others my emotions, or my physical world, or my
mental world, or my spiritual world
As I do so my Light radiates the lessons learned

the story of misidentity

Mayumi — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 17:33:22 GMT

'What is an ego? There is an old Hindu teaching story about a cow-herding boy who one day loses the rope for tying up one of his cows. He goes to the village wise man, who tells him that after tying up the other cows, he should make believe he is tying up the ropeless cow as well. This works, and all of the cows stay in their place all night long. The next morning, however, all of the cows head to pasture except the one without a rope. The boy returns to the wise man, who advises him to make believe he is untying the imaginary rope from the night before. Sure enough, this works. The story tells us that the ego is the imaginary rope that binds the cow. I would add that the identification as a cow is what allows the belief in the rope.'

from Eli jaxon-Bears, 'Sudden Awakening'

People talk of being present, but i found it's essential that we understand who is present. In the spiritual community we throw around phrases as beliefs without questioning those beliefs...

crown — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 01:31:57 GMT

Conclusion

It appears we are soon heading towards something wonderful and very significant during this critical time for humanity. This is not something to fear but to fully embrace and rise to the challenge within our hearts and souls. We have an opportunity to raise the conscious vibration of humanity as a whole to a new high. There are no spiritual chosen ones picked by some elite - it is completely up to us. We can prepare ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The choice is fully our own - if we are willing to heal and forego that within which prevents us from being in harmony and oneness with each other, the universe and the Divine.

We Americans, in particular, have been lulled into a dreamlike state, believing since the late 1940's that the opulent lifestyle we've grown accustomed to could be maintained indefinitely with no detrimental effects to the planet or our souls. The day of reckoning is near. It's time to either voluntarily awaken from the dream and change, or be abruptly and swiftly awakened, possibly too late. We have accomplished great things through our technology, but due to its misuse and overuse we have nearly destroyed life on this planet. The Earth will survive, but we may not, at least in the physical dimension. Our technological means has exceeded our spiritual awareness and understanding, for example, with nuclear bombs, genetic engineering and time traveling. It is time that we begin to shift back to using our consciousness and energy field (that which is within us) to create and accomplish what we need vs. being dependent on technology (things outside of ourselves). In dimensions beyond this physical dimension, all we take with us is our essence: our divine spirit essence (beingness) and our soul, including our consciousness and its energy field. It may be time for us to begin developing these inner abilities now!

My Girlfriend Awakened Last Week

healingforthesoul — Sun, 16 Oct 2005 01:22:02 GMT

Hey Folks,

So, as Divine Humor would have it, my girlfriend woke up before me, even though we both thought it would happen to me first.

It all happened a week ago, while I was doing a healing on her during a workshop (more Divine Humor - I heal her into Awakening, but I've still got an ego to feel jealous about it). Our teacher walked over afterward and asked her how she felt. She didn't really know what he was getting at, so he told her that she had just Awakened. It took her a few minutes to figure out what he was saying, but finally it dawned on her, and we could all see that it was true.

Well, ain't that a kick in the butt? Our relationship is actually better now than it ever was, but all of my dramas have come up BIG TIME. All the better to get the clarity I need to join her, I suppose. Plus living with an Awake person can only have a positive effect.

Anyway, I thought you all might be interested.

Power from our Sun, today, right now!

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 15:31:08 GMT

Hi, I joined the "Tribes" a week ago, on 11-28. I thought I would share…

I do a Celestial Visualization/Mediation every morning and night. This visualization is fundamentally developed from research in my last book, “God’s Science.”

Our Sun is very active right now. Look at the image on my blog and/or connect to
http://www.sec.noaa.gov/sxi/latest.html

Like wisdom from Eastern philosophies, I conceive of life as INTERDEPENDENT.

If humanity (individually and as a whole) connect to the planets, sun, and stars, then our life-sustaining sun is VERY significant. Governments closely monitor magnetic, high energy activity on the Sun, especially when the SUN EJECTS particles that can physically disturb Earth’s communication systems.

When the sun ejects matter, real physical matter (hydrogen protons and helium nuclei making the Northern and Southern lights), can represent ejecting unwanted aspects of the SELF, but more importantly, unwanted attributes in humans no longer able to Circulate LIGHT. (Light can represent LOVE and WISDOM)

The visualization can connect to REAL solar activities. SEE these active spheres of magnetic energy on the sun (right now December 5, 05) connected as a bright inner sun on our sun. This powerful energy core (inner, surface sun) can eject all unwanted mass, unable to effective circulate light. This symbolically ejects unwanted aspects of the SELF, i.e. energies unable to circulate LOVE and WISDOM and can symbolically eject unwanted greed and inhumane aspects from individuals corrupting our Potential as individuals and a Globe.

I wrote an article (see my prior blog) with visual ideas including the science of our SUN in spiritual visualizations/mediations. This article also references our brightest star SIRIUS.

[Note, all powerful forms of Celestial Light are significant to my personal visualization/mediation, especially our bright star Sirius and our closest star. Alpha Cen (Rigil Kentaurus) is a triple system of stars, our closest star and stars, and our 4th brightest.]

Please feel free to comment on my blog. Thanks.

for Love and Wisdom, Scot

The Pyramid of Meaning

I would like discuss this model in terms of how enlightenment is related to the other levels of meaning.

A model to understand manifestation and Consciousness.

noaimiloa — Tue, 18 Oct 2005 19:27:22 GMT

This is just an idea, I have no idea how worthwhile it is, or whether it is true or not true. My desire to express it has more to do with observing the evolution of the mind than with declaring a thing as my truth. I used to believe there was a personal truth that a given individual used to create a given reality, and that that was the nature of truth, it was a tool of creation of reality.

So here's the understanding, such as it is now, of what was really at work over the last few days.

Having observed the Marriott episode play out, I had arrived at an understanding that these events are out of my personal control. I was intensely excited about the potentiality of getting a job with the Marriott, but a series of seemingly unrelated circumstances made that opportunity just beyond my grasp. Given that this was a recurrent theme anytime a circumstance would arise that would provide me a joyful circumstance here in Utah, including various relationships with girls and other opportunities, the idea arose in me, "Maybe it's time for me to open up to the potentiality of moving away from Utah."

I felt a strong desire to express that observation openly, but for some reason was very resistent to doing that. Well, the super-conscious part of my consciousness knew it was time to open up to this potentiality, but the conscious mind was very resistent, so the feeling presses harder and harder creating this really overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and of beingn out of alignment with things. But the conscious mind isn't aware that its resistance to allowing this realignment to occur is causing the presence of despair. So it bears down and resists further, and then the presence of despair persists even more intensely, until in the presence of such overwhelming despair the mind naturally lets go of the resistance and the idea is then expressed to some effect.

Ramesh Balsekar observes that each body-mind organism is given various characteristics that would allow it to perform various actions and make various choices. He observes that the choices made are impersonal to the organism, and that Consciousness gives a certain stimulus to that organism such that it will naturally make the choices that are needed by Totality. He points out that this is how things work regardless if the individual mind-body organism is aware of it or not. Even resistence to this idea is impersonal and is not an expression of an individual will. Acceptance of this impersonal functioning of Totality through the individual organism is also an impersonal event. His observation is that the full nature of the illusion of "normal" reality is that an individual doer exists at all, and that the nature of Enlightenment is the dissolution of this individual doer. That's it.

The conceptual illustration that occured to the mind today goes somewhat like this: The individual organism has certain resistances and habits and tendencies that are applied onto a sheet of film, much like a filmstrip on a photograph or in a motion picture. The light of Consciousness shines through that sheet of film and creates a certain image. The manifestation of this image on a blank screen is like the light of Consciousness shining through an individual organism, which manifests a given reality in the world of Form/Matter.

Ramesh discusses two aspects of Consciousness. It is the same Consciousness but behaving in two different ways. He describes Consciousnes-at rest and Consciousness-in-motion. In the above model, Consciousness-at-rest would be the blank-white screen upon which a given projection occurs through a given mind-body organism, which allows that projection to be perceived in the world of Form. Consciousness-in-motion would be the light that moves through the mind-body organism and allows the unfolding of a given projection into reality as Form.

In this model, an Awakened consciousness shining through a given organism would have no resistances to the arising of various aspects of Consciousness being projected through a given organism. As such, Totality is expressed fully through such an Awakened consciousness, with no "individual" resistence at all.

One reason this model is so absolutely potent is because of this poignant aspect of it. Everything that exists on the blank screen of a film's projection also exists as its opposite on the film. Black imprints on the film block light from shining through and create the presence of white on the screen. White imprints on the film allow light to shine through and create black on the screen. Each of the colors exist as polar opposites on the film as they exist on the screen. Reds on the screen are greens on the film. Yellows on the film show up as purples on the screen.

This is a poingnant model for the Formless reality that exists as an integral element of each Form that exists in perception, along with the ever-present existence of polarity in the reality of Form.

Anyway, was a fascinating observation and model, regardless if its based on any level of actual relevance to my circumstances. Wanted to share it.

Namaste,

Noa

Matter/Non-Matter = Chaos/Harmony :: The Nature of Choice.

noaimiloa — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 07:53:50 GMT

I wrote this a bit earlier tonight. I thought this tribe would really enjoy it. :) --Noa

I really would like to write something right now. I'm not sure what. There is this new understanding I'm still processing. Perhaps I could write out a hunk of it. But no, the nature of this understanding is I can't write about it until I'm in a headspace that allows my mind to loosen up and tap into some very abstract understandings and artistically render those abstractions descriptively into words. The words themselves really being meaningless, but their arrangement, from that state of mind, would carry with it a spirit of understanding that would open some of the minds of the readers to the things I'm trying to describe.

None of the banalities of my life even inspire me a little bit.

I could write a number of stirring entries, none of them interest me.

I'll try, yet again, at this new understanding.

Just over a week ago I was caught trying to resolve a paradox. I wrote about it elsewhere. The paradox was... In the situation of an Abuser Abusing an Abused, in this triune of a moment, where is God? God doesn't abuse, isn't abused, and isn't abusing. So where is God in that circumstance?

I let that paradox just sit in the stage of my mind's eye all night and into the next day. And then POOF, I saw it. In the situation of abuser/abusing/abused, God is the witness of the atrocity. Not just an impersonal, uncaring witness. God is in the witness that generates an outpouring of love, forgiveness, compassion and healing to each aspect of that triune circumstance. You can sense God in the hearts of those who ache for a widow. You can see God in the faces of dozens of people out looking for a child that isn't theirs because it is lost, and they sense how frantic the parents of that child are. You can see God in the instant compassion present as soon as someone dealing with the loss of a loved-one is short-tempered with someone who knows what he's going through. God is the EVER-PRESENT witness of every atrocity that has ever happened on this planet.

But there was another aspect of this paradox that I saw that I've had much more difficulty describing. It has to do with the interaction between the individuals who are the abuser/abused, who aren't apparently aware of their innate divinity as they create the abuser/abusing/abused scenario. I saw HOW this interaction happens, but flat-out don't have the vocabulary in order to describe it in terms that contextualize it into an understandable description.

Here's my best effort, as of today.

There is a field of energy that radiates energy that is infinitely peaceful, loving and abundant. One might call this field of energy, which is ever-present in all existence, Grace. This field of energy has been described in dozens of ways by dozens of mystics and philosophers. The field of energy that is Grace is impersonal; it is infinitely powerful; it is ever-present; it is the unifying influence of All That Is. Because of this Grace, all that exists is allowed to exist. This Grace allows the abuser/abusing/abused to exist. And yet the abuser/abused are not connected to this field of energy of Grace while in this scenario. (Obviously there can be exceptions. They are rare.) And yet in another way the abuser/abused ARE connected to the field of energy of Grace, and it has been this paradox that has made it nearly impossible for me to describe what I now see.

The reason the abuser/abused are not connected to the field of energy of Grace while in that situation is because, while in that situation each of them are primarily energized by their matter, by their tangible matter.

The realm of Form/Matter/Physical is naturally chaotic by nature. Matter does not naturally behave in harmony with All That Is.

On the other hand, the realm of Absolute, or Reality, Formless/Non-Matter/Metaphysical is naturally harmonious by nature. Non-matter acts in perfect harmony with All That Is.

In Truth, there is no separation between Matter/Non-Matter. They are One and the same. In manifest reality, there still is no separation between Matter/Non-Matter, except that often one is manifest, while the other is unmanifest. Even this distinction doesn't actually exist in Reality, or in Truth. But in our relative world, one can notice a perceptual distinction between the unmanifest nature of a thing and the manifest nature of that same thing.

So in the realm of relativity, where there is a this and a that, where there is duality, one can distinguish between the manifest and the unmanifest of a thing.

When Matter, which is naturally chaotic, manifests primarily its Non-Material/Metaphysical nature, that Matter is then harmonized with All That Is. This harmonization actually has the effect of refining and purifying the Matter, itself. When Matter has fully manifest it Non-Material nature, then the Matter itself becomes spiritual/metaphysical by nature. When it reaches that condition, Matter has unified itself with the field of energy of Grace that unifies the Matter with All That Exists. In this union, the matter is purified. It now exists in perfect harmony with All That Exists. It has transcended its naturally chaotic nature.

So when Abuser/Abuses/Abused, what is really being observed is Material Beings are manifesting their naturally chaotic essence. The beings are primarily energized by their matter. This observation is very subtle, and only is true in the realm of relativity. Once you transcend Relativity and enter into Reality, or the realm of the Absolute, there is no Abuser/Abusing/Abused. This is because there is no Time. In Reality, there is no separation between the scenario called abuser/abusing/abused and its ultimate creation which is an increase of Love, or a re-invigoration of Love energy from the energy field of Grace.

In the same sense that pregnancy is not distinct from birth, which is not distinct from infancy, which is not distinct from childhood, and so on... A scenario like Abuser/Abusing/Abused (the absence of Grace/Love/Peace) merely is part of the process of the energy field of Grace creating more Grace/Love/Peace. The Absence is created in order to experience an increase of the Presence. In the realm of the Absolute, there is no separation between Absence/Presence.

This is the nature of the Illusion we so often speak about in this scenario. It isn't that the Abuse doesn't exist AT ALL. But in Reality, Abuse is one part of an overall process of the Grace of All That Is creating more Grace; of the natural EXPANSION of Grace.

In Reality, or the Realm of the Absolute, Physical reality is impersonal. The same way one doesn't mourn the loss of a common chair if it falls over, or loses a leg, in Reality the metaphysical/non-material essence of All That Is recognizes the harmony inherent to abuser/abusing/abused, and re-cognizes that the matter involved in that scenario is IMPERSONAL. Thus, the metaphysical doesn't suffer because of the physical. (This is complicated if one doesn't pay very close attention to CONTEXT!)

So the illusion is that during the scenario of abuser/abusing/abused there isn't an increase of Grace/Love/Peace that is part of that same process. The illusion is that of separation between abuser/abusing/abused and the increase of Love in the Ever-Present Witness of All That Is, which is that field of energy of Grace.

There is one key that allows the whole process to function. Without this one key element, the whole thing couldn't happen. There would be no abuser/abusing/abused, and thus the expansion of Grace would be frustrated. One element of the scenario allows it to continue; take it away and the whole process is finished. This one element is so key it is the one thing that all major religions openly acknowledge that God will never take from an individual: Free Will. Free Will is a being's ABILITY to make a choice.

As I went deep into a meditation Sunday afternoon (yesterday), this one key element was the one part I wasn't able to finish grasping, though I clearly saw its significance. The struggle I had was, What really happens when we make a choice?

As I spent time looking at what the essence of a choice is, I immediately realized that there are matter-focused choices that have to do with moving the body to this place, dressing it in this way, using these words to speak, and on and on and on. None of these are of any consequence in Reality. So what is the essence of Choice in Reality (the realm of Absolute)?

The resolution to this came to me at around 2:30am, in a half-sleeping/half-awake state of mind. It struck me with great force. It is closely related to what I wrote about the only choice one can make in any relationship being that of acceptance or non-acceptance of another's nature Right Now.

Similarly, in all choices made by a being, an entity of some sort, there is only one process happening. In making a choice, a being will either manifest Truth or manifest non-Truth. I'm going to say this same thing in a number of ways to illustrate what is being said.

In making a choice, a being will either manifest truth or manifest Truth.
In making a choice, a being will either manifest material nature, or non-material nature.
In making a choice, a being will either manifest chaos, or harmony.
In making a choice, a being will either manifest personal will, or the impersonal Will (Grace) of All That Is.
In making a choice, a being will either manifest personality, or Presence.

In this one observation, the entire structure of the ego is de-energized, for in this one observation, duality is transcended. I will demonstrate why.

It is not the Content of a choice that determines its Truth/non-Truth; it is the Context of a choice that determines its Truth/non-Truth.

In other words, it isn't the actual choice that is made that determines whether one is manifesting Truth or non-Truth, it is how the choice is being made that determines its Truth/non-Truth.

In other words, if a being is primarily energized by matter, and therefore believes itself to be separate from All That Is (as a personal entity), and that being then manifests its nature as a primarily material entity, personal and separate from All That Is, then this being is manifesting its non-Truth. It isn't the specifics of the choice (Content) that determines the presence of Truth or the absence of Truth; it is the lack of Self-Awareness of a being's True Nature that determines the presence of Truth or the absence of Truth in a choice.

If a being is Self-Aware, it will be primarily energized by its non-material nature and will be in perfect harmony with All That Is. If a being is not Self-Aware, it will be primarily energized by its material nature and will be in chaos with All That Is. It is this one context that determines the presence or absence of Truth. And it is Free Will that allows a being to manifest its chaotic/material nature. Free Will is an entity's ability to align itself with a personal will or an impersonal Will (Grace). That is the essence of an entity's freedom. It will express that freedom in millions of ways, but in every instance the only real factor has to do with Context, not Content.

Thus an abuser is manifesting its lack of Self-Awareness because it is primarily energized by Matter, instead of non-Matter. Abuser is one of hundreds of contents a being can become in the context of manifesting its non-Truth. Now, the violence inherent to being an abuser makes the content of that choice intolerable to a Self-Aware being. The energy field of that choice is inherently painful, intensely painful. A Self-Aware being couldn't make it.

In the same sense, an entity being abused is another of hundreds of contents a being can become in the context of manifesting its non-Truth. There is no violence inherent to being an abused in the scenario of abuser/abusing/abused. Actually, there is the potentiality of an entity being Love/Grace/Forgiveness/Peace while allowing its body (material essence) to be abused in that scenario. A Self-Aware being could actually unify itself as not only the Abused, but also as the Ever-Present Witness of Grace in that scenario. Such a content, if chosen consciously, could have a powerfully transformational effect on the level of Awareness present in a being's matter. In choosing to experience being Abused in a state of Self-Awareness, a being could energize powerful amounts of Love/Grace/Divinity by choosing to BE the Ever-Present-Witness while enduring the physical discomfort of such a scenario.

It isn't necessary for a being to make this choice for that being to manifest Truth. Again, it isn't the content of a choice, but rather its context. Just as viable is the option to choose to end the violence by walking away, or physically restraining the Abuser. So long as the Abused being is Self-Aware, such a choice can manifest Truth.

Well, I'm going to stop here.

The Role of The Negative Forces

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 18:21:55 GMT

Here is a very enlightening article sent by a friend that you may find interesting. It ends with some affirmations. Since tonight is the summer solstice and a full moon, it may be a good time to use them.

In the Shadow of the Divine.

By

Kevin Core.

This article is probably the most important article you will ever read or just another article in a Mind, Body, Spirit magazine.

This information is given through the Angelic Kingdom of Light, the Archangel Metatron, the Lord Sanat Kumara, the Lord Guatama Buddha and the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul; blessings be upon them.

This Universe, your Universe, came into being in the same way all sentient beings are born. It came into being following archetypal patterns of creation which manifest Perfection and a means for that Perfection perceiving itself. The means by which this occurs is for Perfection to create a mirror image of itself which it then uses in order to reflect back to itself its own nature.

Your Universe therefore, taken as a sentient being, has a counterpart which is a mirror-image of it, which it uses to reflect back to itself its own perfection. This shadow aspect of itself is integrated within it at every level. This Universe, as it reflects Divinity, as it manifests perfection, is a Universe where Love is the keynote. Through Love is created Art, Poetry, Music, Joy and Harmony. Its shadow aspect, which is its polar opposite, is separation, manifesting as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, lack of trust, suspicion etc. These two Universes, which are one, exist in the same space, partaking of the same existence, each with its own purpose, its own agenda, each relying on the other for its own existence. The nature of these two Universes is positive and negative, and a balance is maintained between the two, administered from outside these Universes by forces which achieved synthesis in a previous evolution.

We would like now to give an explanation of the role of negative energy with regard to the above.

In your world, in your reality, negativity or evil is seen as bad. Your ‘New Age’ coaching teaches that negativity is something which is to be avoided at all cost. This concept is in error; negativity exists as a mirror to reflect back to the Divine, to Perfection, Its own nature. This is its purpose, it is why it came into existence, it is its job.

When the Divine, or God, came into existence, IT existed as a single entity in a void which contained only the possibility for creation. There was nothing in existence except God. The nature of Divinity is Bliss or Perfection; so God exists as Bliss, eternally unchanging. IT knows nothing else but Bliss for there is nothing in manifestation that IT can gauge or to which IT can reference Itself. To KNOW that IT is God, IT is Perfection; IT creates a mirror-image of Itself, which is IT’s shadow self and begins to relate to it so that IT knows that which IT is not. It is this relationship between God and IT’s shadow self which we term as evolution. Without the shadow self to relate to, God would exist in Bliss eternally, there would be no creation, no evolution.

What meaning does this hold for Humanity? When you encounter something in your experience, in your existence, that causes you discomfort, either mentally, emotionally or physically, that causes you to perceive a loss of happiness or joy, or the loss or lack of security or abundance, the forces of negativity or separation are in play. Remember, the same forces that brought creation into being operate throughout creation and through you. As Above, So Below. Therefore your reality is the mirror whereby your own Divinity is reflected back to you by that which is not you. That which is not you cause you to experience a loss of balance. The forces of separation, of negativity, are the thrust-block which you all push against to regain balance, which you all use to search deep within yourselves for your own true nature which is Divine.

An example would be a situation where you may encounter a loss of anger or temper with a person, place or thing. After the initial conflagration you may look back and see that you responded without due cause, or acted upon a misconception. You make a decision based on the experience never to lose your temper in that situation again. The incident has caused you to look inside yourself and to make a decision that that which you became through anger is not who you truly are. The forces of anger have served you as the mirror to reflect back to you that which you are not and to perceive that which you truly are.

It is therefore that the forces of negativity serve Humanity as the thrust-block whereby Humanity is discovering its own true nature as that of the Divine.

The true Adept or Initiate never opposes negativity or evil but uses it in its positive aspect, to achieve evolution or creation on the line he or she so wishes.

That which you perceive to be negative energy is in fact the influence of the shadow aspect of this Universe, this creation in which you find yourselves. In this co-creation between positive and negative forces, the positive aspect is always building up, is always creating based on Love. The negative aspect is always trying to break down, to return creation back to the void of possibility.

The beings of this shadow Universe are much like you except that their goal is one of separation. The merging of this dual aspect of the Universe is complete down to the level of middle C, taking this Universe as an octave, or the heart centre of any system, you included. Your energy make-up is one of balance between the forces of positive and negative energy and you are susceptible to these influences in any one moment. Therefore the constant battle between good and evil, positive and negative is fought within you. This has been depicted in your reality by the cartoon Tom and Jerry, whereby each character has an angel and a devil manifesting over each shoulder trying to influence the character to take their particular path. This is very close to the reality of the situation with the exception that these entities are merged with you in consciousness and influence the very thoughts that govern your actions.

As this Solar System comes to the end of its 26,000 year cycle around the star Alcyone in the Pleiades, the balance between the negative and positive has been disturbed. This planet, your Earth is being birthed into a new reality. A new plan has emerged within creation which is allowing a race to connect to its own Divinity whilst still in a relatively dense vehicle. The potential for this to happen was coded into the DNA of this Universe at its creation and has remained dormant up until the last 2000 years. A being would only merge back into the Divine after many eons of your time, travelling the Path of Return up through all the levels of reality. This new creation will allow this race to become Creators of the Divine Source Itself whilst existing in vehicles of a 5th dimensional nature. This race is Humanity.

This new coding has caused a response from the shadow Universe. Its minions are now exerting themselves as never before to oppose this new creation. There is no malice in their response; it is what they are programmed to do. This has resulted in the manifestation of various extreme forms of separation in your reality, on your planet, in the last 2000 years.

We are talking here not only about Humanity but also of the Planet Earth herself. The time span of 2000 years in the life of a planet is but a day in your life. Gaia is now responding to this overbalance of negativity and using it as a thrust-block to raise Her consciousness, to recognise Her own Divinity. A she turns and indwells on Her own Divinity it will cause Her to drop Her 3rd dimensional body and be reborn on the 4th dimension. This is the archetypal process of death and rebirth. Humanity and all the Kingdoms of the Earth are part of the body of Gaia and as such are acting out this drama as part of Her process. This process is that which you term Ascension.

As part of this process this Solar System is now passing through an energy vortex which is raising all vibration above middle C on the Universal Scale. As has been stated the entities of the shadow Universe cannot exist above the resonance of middle C. They are therefore creating situations whereby their hosts, you, are held at levels where they can exist. You know these levels as the lower three chakras. They will encourage you, through your consciousness, to play in the areas of the lower astral desires and feed thereon. This vortex is sentient and its purpose is to bring forward all energies that do not resonate above middle C. It is a clearing of the forces of dissolution from our reality. This is causing the battle between the forces of good and evil to be fought within your physical, emotional and mental bodies and is one of the sources of the disturbances felt by all at this time. When this planet ascends it will take all beings within its make-up, who have attained to the vibration of middle C and beyond, with it into a new reality.

This thrust by the forces of separation within this Universe have affected Humanity in a variety of ways, the most prominent being the control of consciousness exerted by means of dogmatic rule. This rule has created philosophies which encourage separation, from the highest to the lowest levels of your society taken globally.

What does this mean for you as a being who is striving to discover your own spirituality, your own Divinity? The forces of negativity and separation are merged with you at every level, even at Soul level and are blocking all determined efforts to contact the Love of the Divine. We of the Hierarchies of Light have been powerless to intervene up until now, as the balance between the Light and the Dark had to be maintained and is overseen from outside this Universe and is dictated by Cosmic Law. The overbalance has now been recognised at this level and permission for intervention has now been given.

There exist many teachings in your reality which encourages you not to strive in the face of adversity but to accept all intervention, all blockages to your spiritual path as ‘meant to be’. These teachings have been given as part of channellings from people of your race who thought they were contacting beings of the highest Light and Love. This collection of teachings is now represented as part of a movement which purports to support the process we have outlined. It does not. We would caution all of you who channel to recognise that the forces of separation are merged with you in consciousness and can influence the very thoughts that you feel to be your own. They exist up to the level of Soul consciousness and can assume any guise they see fit to mislead the unwary. We give at the end of this article a list of affirmations that can be made now to clear all interference from these forces so that from this moment you are only working with the forces of Love and Light. We encourage all of you who are feeling the call of your own Divinity to use your discrimination and to listen to your heart, even as you read these words.

The affirmations given will clear all interference from the forces of separation. The integration for this is about 3 months in your time.

We would now say what this will mean for you as a being and for the race. Up until this time Humanity whose nature is Love, has co-existed with the forces, the energy of separation who’s nature is dissolution. This co-existence has been maintained for centuries of your time. It has altered your DNA and is an inextricable part of the Human Consciousness taken as a whole. It has caused many of your race to become dependant on the chemicals which are released into your make-up when experiencing anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, lack of trust, suspicion etc. There is a great addiction to these lower desires. When you make the affirmations that we have given, you will experience a dropping off of the triggers which cause these manifestations and you will experience loss. This is natural.

The challenge for Humanity at this time is to embrace Love and Joy eternally. Anchored into your consciousness is a belief that when anything good happens it must inevitably be followed by something bad. This is an illusion and is a teaching of the dark forces. Love exists eternally and is the Divine nature, which is you.

For those of you who choose the path of Love, a world of endless beauty awaits. That which Gaia is becoming exists now and there is many of your race already there. Many of those who have left this planet through natural forces have used these events to leave behind their earthly 3rd dimensional bodies, and are being re-born on Gaia as 5th dimensional beings of Light, fully connected to their own Divinity. This is the path open to you all. Other such events will happen in the timeframe between now and when Gaia takes Her last breath as a 3rd dimensional being, in 2012.

You are experiencing yourselves being birthed into a new existence which has never been known before. All of Creation is watching you in awe and wonder. Many of the races of the Galaxy have joined with your race to help birth this new creation and will guide you after you make the translation to your new home. We of the Hierarchies of Light are merged with you also in this endeavour and are assisting you to become that which we are. It is a blessed time in the history of creation and we of the Light salute you.

Not Forgetting Sacrafice

tolteclogic — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 23:46:24 GMT

How can we be free if we never
put forth the effort?
When only one thing matters
Are we this personality?
Accumilated conditioned
mundanity
You feel this change coming on
What do you know?
If you are curious
For those who are ready (to die)
A great sacrafice
But for the new to be revealed
the ego must give up control
In truth there is nothing to hide
Exposure to life is not fatal
It is all in how we navigate change

"When practitioners of the Tao do not forget the fundamental,
they can gather the great medicines of essence and life. But
this matter of not forgetting the fundamental requires a great
person to carry it out; it cannot be done by lessser people who
do not know essence and life. Therefore 'it is beneficial to see
a great person; this is developmental.'"

"A great person is one who corrects self and corrects others.
Correcting oneself there is no ego; spirit and energy do not
dissipate, and rectitude becomes the self. Correcting others,
there are no personalities; character and constitution are
sublimated, and rectitude becomes people. Correcting self
and correcting others, inwardly thoughts do not arise, and
externals do not enter: Inside and out are one simple recti-
tude - benevolence, justice, courtesy, and knowledge are all
based on truthfulness. When the primordial is gathered to-
gether, essence is stabilized and life is solidified."

"Indeed, the benefit of development by gathering what is right
is no small matter. What heaven enjoins on humanity is recti-
tude alone, and it is only by rectitude that humanity can answer
heaven. Responding to heaven with rectitude, not forgetting the
fundamental, is like making a great sacrafice to offer to heaven;
it will not fail to bring good fortune."

"But the way to make a great sacrafice and bring about good
fortune cannot be accomplished by a moment of emptiness; it is
necessary to tread the ground of reality step by step before one
can achieve it. If you know but do not act on it, that is the same
as not knowing - how can you then attain good fortune? So 'it
is beneificial to go somewhere.' The value of knowledge is only
in it's application."

First Yin: "Having sincerity that is not conclusive, there is disor-
der and mobbing. If you cry, in a moment it'll turn to laughter;
don't grieve. To go is blamless."

Explanation
"When negative, weak, indecisive, not distinguishing right from
wrong sometimes believing one thing, sometimes another, people
become disorderly and form mobs, believing what they shouldn't,
rallying around what they shouldn't. Luckily there is correspon-
dence with the positive yang in the fourth place; if you know dis-
orderly mobbing is of no benefit, 'cry' in regret, and approach
true teachers, once you are guided by them and given direction
in the darkness, you will understand that the Tao is not far from
people, but what people do for the Tao estranges people. First
you cry, then you laugh. Directly attaining understanding, you
need not grieve; going right ahead to assemble the five elements
and combine the four signs, why worry that you will not reach
the state of impeccability? This is gathering in the sense of re-
forming error and returning to correctness."

5 Yang: "Gathering, there is a state without fault. Not taking
oneself seriously, if one is basically always correct, regret will
disappear."

Explanation
"When strength is correctly balanced and higher knowledge un-
wavering, one stablizes life in the true state; without cultivation
or verification, not needing effort, the five elements are one ener-
gy. Fundamentally one is inherently without fault. However,
though one is without fault, it is undesirable to dwell on joy, be-
coming complacent and self-satisfied, trusting what is untrust-
worthy - regret is sure to come. But if one knows how to fill the
belly and also empty the mind, practices nondoing and incubates
the spiritual embryo, ever correct and undivided, using the na-
tural true fire to melt away the residual mundanity of acquired
conditioning, such a one is called a true human without taint -
how can regret not vanish? This is gathering in the sense of incu-
bating the spiritual embryo."

~*~*~*~

"Each of the six lines indicates something being gathered, but they
are different in respect to right and wrong, aberration and correct-
ness. When we look for balance of yin and yang and unity of
strength and flexibility, we find it only in the yang in the forth place.
As for using empitness to nurture fulfillment, comprehending life
and essence, it seems to be only in yang in the fifth place. It is those
who accurately recognize the real who are the adepts."

The Celestial Mechanism

tolteclogic — Sun, 17 Jul 2005 02:53:58 GMT

"In contemplation of the changes of the mind, what is
important is practice of the Tao; when the Tao is put
into practice, it completes the mind."

"Sages are sages simply because of the application of the
principles of th I Ching. Application of the I Ching is
accomplished simply by openness and tranquility. When
open, one takes in all; when tranquil, one perceives all.
When open, one can accept things; when tranquil, one
can respond to situations. If openness and tranquility
are continued for a long time, one becomes spiritually
illumined."

"To successfully comprehend and deal with changes, it is
best to know the times; to know the times, it is best to
understand principles; to understand principles, it is best
to be open and tranquil. When one is open, the mind is
clear; when one is tranquil, the mind is pure... The
changes of heaven can be seen by observation of transfor-
mation; the tide of the times in the world can be witnessed
by observation of forms; the truth and falsehood of people
can be discerned by observation of their concrete
manifestations."

"Eternity is the substance of tranformation, change is the
function of transformation. That which never changes is
the substance of transformation, that which changes along
with time is the function of transformation. Freedom from
thought and freedom from contrivance are the substance
of transformation; sense and response are the function of
transformation. When you know the function you can
fathom the substance: when you comprehend the sub-
stance you can sharpen the function. Sages observe
above and examine below, search afar and grasp what is
near, thus apprehending that substance."

Book of Balance and Harmony

~*~*~*~

"The Tao of spiritual alchemy is none other than the Tao
of the I Ching, the Tao of sages is none other than the Tao
of immortals, and that the I Ching is not a book of devina-
tion but rather is the study of investigation of principles,
fulfillment of nature, and arriving at the meaning of life."

Liu I-ming

"Although the words are very clear, yet they are also very
vague. The shallow may take the I Ching to be a book of
divination, but the profound consider it the secret of the
celestial mechanism."

"To restore the mind to its unfragmented origin, sit quitetly
and meditate; First count the breaths, then tune the breath
until it is imperceptible; be mindful of the body as like the
undifferentiated absolute, and you won't hear anything.
Those who can regain their composure after a mountain
crumbles before them are second best; not even being
startled is expertise."

Lu Tung-pin

"Stay comprehensively alert in the immediate present, and
suddenly an awakening will open up an experience in the
midst of it all that is millions of times better than that of
quite sitting. Whenever you encounter people making a
commotion, whether it concerns you or not, use it to polish
and strengthen yourself, like gold being refined over and
over until it no longer changes color. If you gain power in
this, it is much better than long drawn-out practice in
quietude."

"The word I of I Ching means change; that is changing in
accord with the time so as to follow the Tao. As a book,
the I Ching is vast and comprehensive: by following the
principles of essence and life, understanding the reasons
of the obscure and the obvious, and comprehending the
conditions of things and beings, it shows the way to
enlighten people and accomplish tasks."

Huang Yuan-ch'i

GROUP consensus

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 19:53:47 GMT

Lets open the forum in order to re-establish (moderately to specific) definitions of these words in order to solidify group consensus on these words. they will be used to expand the other thread of "attention and intent".

please free to begin new threads that branch out of these definiton that may help further any stagnate threads that arise. in the light of "nonsense thread", remember to always question your own knowledge, take the time to develop your humor (or if your too busy, atleast set aside wednesdays for that), and enjoy all your posts.

ATTENTION
AWARENESS
INTENT
EXPECTATION
BELIEF
PERSPECTIVE

I'll start with "belief" (its the only one that i can really say anything on).

__its everyones gift of being, but then again, we can be whatever we like. what do i want to be? i like just to be me in my entirety...and this life is teaching me what i once new in its entirety. am i stuck to my belief? sometimes i am, then i realize that it can make me dense, so i let go, and in that moment i am something else. maybe its more of me, but when i think i know some 'shit', i often become surprised, so i guess that belief is one of those definitions that can get a little slippery cause it does need to be put together with some of the other words...like INTENT.

PS: intent doe not have to be a momentary thing. i suppose i and others have a LIFE intent. Peace

Synergy of minds as Thought cells

Fri, 11 Feb 2005 08:11:36 GMT

I just thought I would share an idea i have been playing with to see if anyone else is thinking the same thing. I keep imagining myself as a cell in the body. And I keep running into other cells on the street but we don't stop and exchange information. We just continue on without any connection.

Yet here on tribe, i can exchange information but there are two processes, active and passive. I can put posts in places and other cells may or may not get the information. Or I can post in places where I know i have relationship with people and there is a better chance of them receiving the information. There is more of an active relationship.

Now lets say the information that I carry only a few people can understand and to get it and I have to have relationship with them or they won't pay attention. The information is in regards to a new way of organizing the cells together.

The problem is you have to get enough cells to accept and use the information in order to get a critical mass in order to influence the other cells. The first cells have to love this reorganizaton so much, and it has to fit with how they would want to do it anyway,...not an easy task.

You have to see what the function is of all the other cells. They are not all the same. Some are young, some are developed, some no longer want any new information.

A cell is part of a larger system. It is not alone. Does it have consciousness of its own self identity?

Now what happens when this cell becomes énlightened? The cell is connected to a power source outside of the physical body in a way that the other cells are not. But they don't see a difference. They may feel it but it can be as an irritation because the frequency is so different.

Now lets say the cell which has been in the stomach and getting no responses to its information, goes to the ear which really likes the information and all the ear cells want it to transform a part of the way sound comes in.

Now the information telling you where you best function would be valuable wouldn't it? But that cell would have to be recognized for having that function or else they would just be irritating because who likes being told where to go?

Yet how many people are in a place where they really shine?

When I think in terms of cells it takes me out of the trap of individualism.

The Value of Failure

healingforthesoul — Tue, 10 May 2005 16:45:36 GMT

Hello folks - I want to share with you a recent experience I had that has completely shifted my experience of myself and the world I live in:

For the last four years, I have been trying to create a life in which I can make enough money to sustain myself without having to get caught up in the corporate "machine". I have had some significant successes in this area, but overall it's been a very difficult, long struggle.

Normally, when I focus my intention upon something, I am successful at it, but in this case no matter what I did, I somehow managed to screw things up.

Finally, after many recent weeks of agonizing, I came to the simple realization that all my efforts have led to the complete and total failure to reach my goals - not just in my career, but in literally ALL worldly matters. I had progressed significantly in my spiritual journey, but my worldly journey has gone totally in the toilet.

After coming to that realization, something deep inside me let go, and suddenly I discovered that it's okay to be a failure - there's no need to fight it. It's just an experience like any other. As I integrated this realization, I found that I could be more emotionally vulnerable with my friends, which allowed me to experience myself from a place of Heart - something I had always found very difficult, as mentally-oriented as I am. But now it comes more naturally, and I'm finding it very easy to let go of that compulsive mental-body identification because now I have someplace to GO - my Heart.

It's a very liberating experience, and although it was a painful process to get here, I can't imagine that I would ever have been able to surrender so deeply without the many years of struggle that ultimately led to failure - an exquisite failure for which I am infinitely and humbly grateful. Obviously there is still a lot of work left for me to do, but this was such a powerful defining moment, I thought I would share it with you.

a story of wolves

Mon, 07 Mar 2005 15:13:08 GMT

I liked this wee story and its wisdom and wanted to share it with you ...

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves."
"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Peace and Enlightenment

Mon, 02 May 2005 23:33:41 GMT

Topic to be addressed: What is Peace?

Peace as an idea is the assimilation of dualities in order to sustain balance. In order to attain Peace, there must be a need to balance oppositions, a need, necessitated by responsibility for actions. What does this statement say about consequences between our actions and our thoughts? In the Physics of thought, all actions exist on the physical side of a spectrum that uses thoughts as its complement. In fact, thought and action in harmony create
responsibility, choice and growth, so there is a definitive connection between our thoughts and actions. The importance of accepting responsibility for our actions is that inevitably, only we can make the recognition to act, and so we do.

Ponder the question..., “If I act physically, will it have in effect on the mental plane?” After pondering that question, one may ask..., “How many planes are there besides, the mental, the physical and emotional, and do our actions effect all three..?

In the development of Peace, the AWARENESS of dualities allows for grasping the consequences of unity and/or the effects of polarity. Peace first and foremost is a mental issue before it can be coordinated on the physical side of activity. The futility in trying to solve mental issues on the physical plane is due to the fact that ultimately change occurs through the self, on its mental plane. The physical plane is a place of activity used to put into practice what has been grasped by the mind.

This polarized consciousness, of course, being the world that we live in.

What's not Enlightenment?

Trust — Sun, 13 Mar 2005 22:57:46 GMT

Wow, we seem to have a fun grip on what Enlightenment is.

How are we with the understanding of what it is not?

Try not to compare, more list or say what Enlightenment is not.

Bad Example: Black is not White.

Better Example: Black is ....whatever you can come up with that is not, not White.

I'm really curious to see what the brilliant minds here do with this challenge/invitation.
