As we enter into the Shift of the Ages, prophesized by the ancient ones . . . a place many feel is the time leading up to 2012, we reach a point of no return. At this turning point, the balance of life begins to move away from the world of the past and begins to relocate in a new cycle of time that we see as our future. The door behind us slams shut, while a new door creaks open. It is a strangely, empty pause . . . like when a wave goes out, and the new one as not yet arrived. At this point, the stars, the universe, and the center of all that is all align with one magical place. That place is the source, or core, within each of us. We can call this place by many names, the light, the higher self, etc…, but whatever we name it, this place is the same in each of us. It is who we truly are.
The ancients have also said that a day would come that we would have to make a choice. During a healing session with a dear soul sister, Kenyon, (www.kenyontaylor.com) I came to realize in a vision that we have reached this turning point, and it is now time for us all to make powerful choices. This vision made all the crazy, compressed, and fragmented energy that we have been feeling make some sense to me.
In the vision, I saw a magnificent, golden, double door archway in which I was invited into a foyer by a glorious looking master with no name. The doorway seemed to be made out of solid gold, but it glowed. Past the doorway and inside the foyer, there was a large round chamber. There were huge rings on the floor. These rings looked like they were made out of stone and looked incredibly ancient . . . yet pristine and new. They were exquisitely carved with symbols. The stone circles had little star bursts of light emanating out from them. There might have been 5 to 7 rings working inside of each other. These rings turned within each other like a giant combination lock.
The Master said "This is where you are now." . . . like I knew where I was. I knew he did not mean just me. He meant we were ALL at this place in time in our evolution. Then I was shown that this giant combination lock was a giant vortex or matrix of unlimited possibilities that we could manifest in our very near future. It is here right now, in this very moment, that we can decide where we are going, what we want it to be like, and how it will feel. The utter volume of possibilities was overwhelming to me, and the symbols I didn't understand. The symbols on the stones were transmitting a message to me, but not in a language I knew in this moment.
I asked the Master "Where should I go? What should I choose? The Master replied "You must do the choosing." But out in front were all these realities that I had not been to before. They were foreign to me, yet strangely familiar. I was insecure and said "How can I choose something I don't know in this moment?!" And the Master said "You choose with your heart." I knew that these beautiful, unknown worlds within worlds were calling me, and ALL of US, to take a stand and make a choice for our future.
Then I became aware of the huge effect these choices would have on our lives, but also the lives of future generations! The Ancients said that "There will come a day that you will have to choose.", and that day is knocking on our door right now. We are breaking new ground in a new world. We are building new bridges for us and for future generations to cross. We are creating the infrastructure in which to build a new world upon! "Wow!" I thought, "This is heavy work we are doing here." This would explain why we feel the way we do. I thought to myself "I sure hope we get some cosmic brownie points for all of this."
The Master then asked me to stand in the center of this stone ring, and I felt myself anchor to all the possibilities. It felt like a collapse of time, space and dimension into the present now. I was everywhere all at once. This explained the feeling that I have been having . . . like the tension of an approaching storm that never breaks through and rains. I realized that it will not rain until we have made our choices. We get a grand release when we choose one side or the other. It was here that the vision ended. The healing session was over. It was time for me to go back home.
The Star Elders say that we have already created a new Golden Age in spirit. We felt its birth in the year 2008. Now it is beginning to manifest the infrastructure of a new world in the physical 3D world. As it begins to manifest, the energy downloads and the insistent unending pressure for us to take a stand and make a choice will become increasing more powerful and impossible to ignore. We are being called to fully step into our roles as co-creators within the collective consciousness. Yes, we are feeling like we are going to explode . . . (remember the movie POWDER?). Many feel that they have already died and begun to take the journey to another reality. I don't argue that this might in fact be absolutely true. How would we know? Our third eye is getting slammed with the matrix of future possibilities. This is going to cause some temporary headaches, nausea, and generally some unexplained and unrealistic uneasiness. The energy will feel very fragmented and compressed as we experience a time, space and dimensional break down. This energy is clearing out an old obsolete world. Humpty Dumpty has fallen of the wall, and he is not coming back together again. The egg is breaking right before our eyes.
The new world is becoming a sledge hammer of light and it wants US to make a leap into it now. Remember . . . WE are our own Ancestors returned. The divine light inside of us will lead the way. Keep moving, keep choosing, and keep on keeping on. Everything will be fine if we gratefully and ceaselessly listen to our hearts.

Spirit vs. Ego
HAS IT EVER FELT THAT THERE WERE TWO OPPOSING FORCES inside you, each pulling in opposite directions? One, simply loves life and people, and is endlessly curious about exploring and experiencing the world. This "energy force" is ALIVE and free, creative, expressive, abundant and playful. This part of ourselves guides us calmly and adeptly through new and challenging experiences. Its guidance doesn’t come from the "head’s thinking"; IT is much more powerful, wise, clear and knowing than the mind. Intuition, heart, inspiration, love, joy and peace are associated with this energy. When we access IT, we feel warmth, serenity, centered and connected to the world. Life flows. We’re fulfilled, fully self-expressed, and every moment IS a "magic moment". When we live from this space, we KNOW - "all is well" and life is a joy.
I call this energy force "spirit" or soul. And, it’s always there for us to access.
The other "energy force" is more practical, cautious, judgmental, and protective. This force wants to look good for others, or at the very least, avoid looking bad. "It" likes to control, although pretends that it’s not. "It" views the world as a potentially harmful place, fears being hurt and exposed, thus remains separate, isolated and closed from others. It blames, criticizes, compares, and makes excuses. "Should" is one of its favorite words. This energy looks for answers from its mind…although often confuses "reality" from something "made-up". Living isolated within the confines the body; "it" mostly just wants to be "safe" and "independent" .
I call this energy force "ego". And, it too, is always there for us to access.
We’ve all experienced both of these forces in our life. As human beings, we need both to exist. Spirit is the "life force energy" that is about experiencing, creating, expressing and connecting in this world, while the ego is more like a "body guard" or "tour guide". The Ego’s job is to keep the physical body safe, and guide your "spirit" through the journey of life. However, it often oversteps its duties and responsibilities. Most people don’t realize the nature of these two individual forces, and continue to struggle between these two energies. Sometimes, it feels like we have split personalities, but rest assured this is part of the human design. The Ego is much more forceful when it comes to being in control, and thus plays a more dominant role in our lives…often suppressing our true Spirit. Spirit shows up sporadically for most, when we let our "thinking minds" go, spend time in nature, engage in something creative, meditate or get desperate enough to seek assistance. Have you noticed that as soon as you "surrender" solutions appear? When you become more conscious about the nature of these forces, you can learn to access this all-knowing, wise and powerful force in your life more consistently. The result is a life with MORE peace, joy, love, abundance and creative flow and LESS stress, overwhelm, scarcity and fear.
Distinguishing Ego from SPIRIT
Since the Ego can be sneaky in its expression, it’s important to recognize its nature. I’ve included a list below of Ego characteristics and its "Spirit counterpart" . SEPARATION is the common theme to each word set below. The Ego strives to keep you separate from the world, separate in relationships and separate from your Spirit and its full self-expression, joy and inner peace. It does this through resistance, restriction, blaming, being self-righteous and fearful. The ego also expresses itself as "neediness", which is a form of separating from self (separating from your power)…believing that YOU need something "over there" to complete you. The ego has many faces, all working to keep you "separate".
• Separation vs. Connection • Mind vs. Heart • Victim vs. Taking Responsibility
• Excuses vs. Results • SHOULDS vs. Inspiration • Resistance vs. Acceptance
• Restricted vs. Freedom • Confusion vs. Clarity • Suppressed vs. Fully Self-Expressed
• Worry vs. Anticipation • Stuck vs. Creativity • Stressed vs. Peace
• Frustrated vs. Resourceful • Protection vs. Vulnerable • Fear vs. Love
• Laziness vs. Nurturing • Doubt vs. Trust • Scarcity vs. Abundance
• Shut-down vs. Open • Shame vs. Acceptance
• Apprehension vs. Courageous • Struggle vs. Flow
Take the first word in each pair. Perhaps you already recognize how familiar they are to you…as it is for most human beings. Imagine living your life predominantly from these states of being - a life of separation, "shoulds", confusion, restriction, resistance, etc.? How would that feel? Yuck. Unfortunately, this is how 83% of the population lives (read Power vs. Force by David Hawkins).
Take the second word in each pair. Imagine living a life lived predominantly from these states of being? Joy, peace, love, creativity, freedom and full self-expression. While it’s not the norm of today, it is possible. Only 17% of the population access this way of being, and are still subject to the grips of the Ego.
Cultivating Connection with Spirit
How can we access "spirit" so that it naturally becomes the dominant energy force in our lives? How can we maximize the peace, joy and flow in our lives? Below are 7 Keys to get started.
1. Get Present - When we’re truly in the present moment, we have great access to Spirit. When we’re focused on the past, feelings of regret, pain and turmoil can overtake us, cutting us off from Spirit. When we’re focused on the future, we often get distracted in feelings of worry, hope and fear. starving our energies from creating NOW. It is in the "present moment" where we find peace, joy and connection to Spirit.
2. Choose High Vibrations – Consciously choosing high vibration states, such as peace, joy, love, appreciation, generosity and other "good feelings" strengthens connection to Spirit, and deflate the Ego. Anyone that teaches about manifesting abundance always emphasizes the focus on "good feeling states". Like attracts like. The book Power vs. Force quantifies energetic qualities on a scale of 1 to 1000. In addition to empowering emotional states, you can raise your energetic vibration through movement and exercise, drinking water, practicing random acts of kindness, meditation, laughing, spending time in nature and contributing to others. David Hawkins second book The Eye of the I also talks about additional ways to cultivate higher energy states.
3. Take Responsibility through Conscious Choices – Our Egos like to play "victim", and lead you to believe that you’re not powerful or at choice in the matter. Drama. Drama. Drama. No matter what the circumstance, there is always a powerful, responsible choice available. What do you need to ask for? What do you need to let go of? Whose help could you request? What’s the next step you could take? What is your ultimate outcome? When you take responsible action, you are "responding to Spirit". Don't be a victim, make a conscious new choice.
4. Radically reduce "thought" - For most people, this is a tough one. Our human ego-dominated minds like to run non-stop. Many of us assume that "thinking" is intelligence. But, are you doing the "thinking", or is "it" thinking you? Even the most intelligent minds must ultimately learn to break free of "thought", finding stillness - because this is where true freedom lies. It is only in the "stillness" of mind where a different type of "thought" appears and our connection to Spirit comes alive. Eckhart Tolle, author of Power of Now was asked what his greatest accomplishment in life was…and his answer, "radically reducing the thoughts in my mind".
5. Humility – Ego is about being right, criticizing, judging and making others wrong. Stepping into "humility" is the fastest way to release the ego’s grip. (Read The Eye of the I). Admitting critical, judging or self-righteous behavior is liberating. Stepping into "not knowing" is more powerful than "being right". (Read my article on "Humility" from my Soulfully Living Newsletter Issue #25.)
6. Listen to Spirit – In my Mastermind Group, we explored, "How do you tell the difference between the "spirit voice" and the "ego voice"?". Simply put, the ego voice is almost always associated with feelings of angst, resistance, doubt, fear, questioning, guilt and confusion. Spirit’s voice is clear, wise, knowing, precise and brings peace, more often serves your Greater Good.
SOULFUL CHALLENGE:
One of my favorite practices is to "just act on Spirit’s voice". Throughout the day, consciously listen for Spirit to guide your decisions. Clear your head, ask for guidance, and LISTEN. Then, act. It’s important to act quickly, before your Ego can jump in and start analyzing Spirit’s request. Just trust and go with it. If Spirit doesn’t respond immediately with direction, just wait. An answer will show up. Then – act. Try this for ONE WEEK. Every time I make this conscious commitment, I’m amazed at where Spirit leads me. Often it doesn’t make sense in the moment, but then becomes clear later. The gifts are incredible. Try this!
7. Commit to the Process – To cultivate a deeper relationship to Spirit, and radically reduce the control of Ego in your life is a process. Life gets in the way. You’ll notice yourself getting stuck, being fearful, resisting life, and blaming others. But, as you deepen your commitment to the process, you will find you’re able to recognize the destructive and unconscious patterns in your life more quickly, and make responsible, conscious choices to take empowering action.

Lightworkers become the "Example"
"You can get to a place where neither praise nor blame touches you. It is a quiet place inside that is likened unto a safe haven, or a port out of the storms of life where you are at peace within yourself. Your world is changing very rapidly and there will be those who are unprepared to handle the energetic shifts that are occurring, and they will lash out against their fellowmen and women. It is for you, however, to hold on to your upliftment and be as an example for others. This is the job of all who would be the lightworkers in this momentous time. "
~The Intenders Bridge~
Sometimes the world can be & feel like a cruel place instead of one of splendor, love & harmony. It's true, I myself am guilty of these feelings at times. Yes, I call myself a "lightworker", an "ascensionist", "spiritual", etc., but I'm also human with human feelings, and daily I am a work in progress, continuing to harness my ego and allow my Light to shine forth.
I was saddened to hear a dear friend and teacher share with me an attack she suffered from one of her students, and also a friend of mine. This individual is a "lightworker", a psychic, and Reiki teacher/practitioner. Without judgement and with love I quickly assessed in my mind "why" this person would cause pain to another, this person who is an energy healer, psychic, and teacher herself. Well, maybe it isn't for me to know, and it isn't my lesson, but it stayed with me and made me think of how we hurt others through our words, actions and "our thoughts". All of which are manifested through fear.
I Am never unamazed by the fact that "we" lightworkers continue to fall into the trap of fear. I mean we practice healing, give seminars and talks, teach workshops, are well-known public figures, write books, and much more on how to ascend, heal, love, and shift our consciousness to higher awareness....and yet, here we are caught up in fear, allowing ourselves to become part of the problem instead of the solution. All that "knowing-ness" right down the drain.
Lightworkers, we must learn to act and respond from a place of love and not fear. Yes, we will be attacked by those with lower vibrations, yes we will create painful lessons for ourselves that are reflections of what is going on in our inner universe. But, lets not become the attacker! When we start judging others (which comes from fear), gossiping, criticizing, or simply attacking the integrity of another, we are lowering our vibration. Not to mention, what is the example we are setting for our students and others.
Let us listen and act with and out of love for one another. Let us honor different belief systems, races and cultures. Let us support our brothers and sisters also on the path of ascension. Let us set the example of peace and love through our words, thoughts, and actions. It is when we can attain this place of love in our Soul center, that we can truly begin to ascend, and integrate our Christ Consciousness and Higher Self. This is what the Buddha & Jesus taught.
Let us Remember!

Clearing Our Relationship with Money
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
In the beginning, our Father-Mother God gave us everything we needed to easily sustain our physical bodies during our Earthly sojourn. We were given the radiance of the Sun, fresh air, water, food and materials from which to build shelters and make clothing for ourselves. The Divine Intent was for our physical needs to be taken care of so that we could focus on using our gift of free will and our creative faculties of thought and feeling to learn to cocreate the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God in the physical plane.
It was never the Divine Plan that we struggle from morning until night in mundane jobs just to put food on the table and supply the needs of our physical bodies. That, in fact, is a gross distortion of the original Divine Plan for this planet, and it is a cumbersome distraction from our purpose and reason for being in this school of learning.
After the “fall,” we lost awareness of our Divine Heritage and the fact that we are Children of God. As we descended into denser and denser frequencies of our own human miscreations, we were unable to hear the guidance of our I AM Presence, which we now refer to as “the still small voice within.” To compensate for that void in our lives, we developed our fragmented, fear-based human egos. We gave our power away to this mutated aspect of ourselves and allowed it to manipulate us into believing that we are just our physical bodies and that the physical plane is all that exists.
With that distorted perception, we started believing in lack and limitation. We forgot that we are cocreating this reality and that the unformed primal Light that comprises every particle of Life in the physical plane is limitless. We forgot about the infinite abundance of God, and we started fearing for our very survival. We became afraid that there was not going to be enough of the necessities of life in order for everyone to live in comfort and peace.
We began hoarding the things we needed to sustain our physical bodies which, in turn, blocked the flow of God’s infinite abundance. We are cocreators with our Father-Mother God, so when our fear-based thoughts and feelings reflected on the elemental substance of the Earth, we started experiencing inclement weather conditions which resulted in floods, droughts, famines, plagues and pestilence. When that happened, we were catapulted into a vicious circle. The more we hoarded the things we needed to survive, the less the necessities of life were made available to us and the more afraid we became.
We developed a consciousness of greed and selfishness, which we believed was necessary in order to survive. We started fighting with each other over land, food, water and material things. Eventually we created a monetary system to barter for the very things God had freely given to each of us. As the confusion and chaos built in momentum, our human egos coerced us into believing that whatever we needed to do to survive was appropriate, even if it meant lying, stealing, cheating or killing.
As we witness the meltdown of the global economy, we can clearly see the evidence of this tragic situation everywhere we look. Practically every malady manifesting on Earth can be traced back to the fear-based consciousness of lack and limitation. That is true whether we are talking about the corruption, violence and moral depravity in governments, the military, financial institutions, corporations, the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries, religious organizations, educational institutions, some profit and nonprofit organizations or the private sector and individuals.
Our ego-based fear for survival infuses Humanity with a willingness to do whatever it takes to get what we want. For aeons of time, people have continually acted out of the distorted perception of lack and limitation. As a result of that illusion, people everywhere are writhing in the pain and suffering our human egos perpetuated by entrapping us in poverty consciousness.
It is time for us to take back the power our human egos have usurped from us, and it is time for us to give our I AM Presence full dominion of our lives. We have the ability to reclaim our Divine Heritage and to restore the limitless flow of God’s abundance. Never has it been more important for us to do so.
As the Light of God increases on Earth and the negativity that conflicts with that Light is pushed to the surface to be transmuted and healed, we are seeing the global economy reel on the shifting sands of corruption and greed. From outer appearances, it looks like the economy is headed for total collapse, but, in fact, this is the darkness before the dawn.
The purging that is taking place in the economic world is a necessary part of the healing process. The old-age archetypes of greed, selfishness, corruption and moral depravity are being exposed and shattered in order to clear the way for the new archetypes of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace. Those who are willing to attain their wealth by harming another part of Life are doomed to failure. Whether they are hurting people or polluting the Earth, their nefarious efforts are being exposed in the radiant Light of Divine Truth.
The dog-eat-dog, looking-out-for-number-one selfishness that has been so prevalent over the years cannot be sustained now that the new archetypes are in place. This is the time that has been prophesied when “All that is hidden must now be revealed.” The clandestine schemes of deception and dishonesty that have trapped the multitudes in a web of poverty and fear will not be concealed in a cloak of darkness any longer. The elite few who hoard the wealth of the world while millions live in hunger, disease and squalor will no longer succeed in their self-obsessed ventures.
Poverty is a human miscreation, and it was never intended to be part of our Divine Plan. The distorted patterns of lack and limitation are an illusion that we created and that we are sustaining through our thoughts, words, feelings, actions and beliefs.
The new archetypes of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace are based on the Divine Truth that GOD IS OUR SUPPLY, not outer world circumstances. Our natural heritage is the continual God supply of all good things. When we remember this Truth, we open our hearts up once again to the limitless flow of God’s abundance.
This unique moment will be recorded in the Golden Book of Life as the time in which the Era of Eternal Peace and Infinite Abundance was permanently established on Earth. Just imagine, you and I are physically present to cocreate the events that will lift this planet and all her Life into the Light of Eternal Peace and God’s Infinite Abundance.
RECLAIMING GOD'S ABUNDANCE
In order for us to reclaim our natural Birthright of God’s Infinite Abundance, we need to clear our relationship with money. Since we have chosen to live in a system that uses money as our source of exchange, we need to eliminate our fear of it and realize that money is just a source of energy—period. It is not some awesome entity that comes into our lives to wield its power over us and rule our destinies. It is only because of our fear for survival that we have allowed money to have that kind of control over us.
First of all, we must eliminate poverty consciousness and start functioning with prosperity consciousness. Instead of worrying all of the time about not having enough money, we need to focus on our gratitude for the money we do have. Gratitude is a magnet that brings more of what we are grateful for into our lives.
Every time we spend a penny of our money, whether it is to buy groceries, pay our bills, for entertainment or whatever, we should bless it with gratitude for the service it is providing to us. Then we should let it go freely, knowing that money is just a source of energy and, like ALL energy, it will go out, expand and return to us for more service.
If we send our money forth grudgingly, bemoaning the high cost of living, fearing we won't have enough to cover our expenses, hating to spend it on the necessities of life, we will automatically block the flow of God’s abundance.
The process of developing prosperity consciousness does not mean going out and charging unnecessary things and getting ourselves deeper in debt by spending money we don't have. It does mean, however, that we recognize money is providing a service to us that we should accept with gratitude and appreciation.
As we move forward at warp speed, it is crucial for us to remember that we are responsible for cocreating our own prosperity. We must perpetually ask ourselves, “Is what I AM thinking, saying, feeling or doing adding to my prosperity and prosperity consciousness, or am I blocking my prosperity with fear and poverty consciousness?”
If what we are expressing is reflecting poverty consciousness, then we must ask ourselves, “What do we need to change in order to express prosperity consciousness and open up to God’s flow of abundance right now?” It is imperative that we hold tenaciously to our positive visions and energize them daily with our affirmations and the focus of our attention. We must be deliberate about our wealth. Through persistence, confidence and acceptance we will open our hearts to the God supply of all good things.
A VITAL FACTOR IN RECEIVING GOD'S ABUNDANCE
The Law of the Circle plays a very important role in our prosperity. The ebb and flow of Life, which is so clearly demonstrated in the Law of the Circle, is a critical factor in order for us to receive God’s flow of limitless abundance. There are many expressions that describe the ebb and flow of our Lifeforce: inbreath and outbreath, radiation and magnetization, giving and receiving, cause and effect, action and reaction, involution and evolution. In order for the Divine Plan to be fulfilled and for us to receive a continual flow of God’s Infinite Abundance, the ebb and flow of our gift of Life must be balanced. If we are receiving more Lifeforce than we are sending out or vice versa, an imbalance is created that blocks the flow.
When we volunteered to embody on Earth to learn how to become cocreators with our Father-Mother God, we agreed that we would cooperate with the Universal Law of the Circle and maintain the balance of our Lifeforce. Our God Parents agreed to provide what we would need to sustain our physical bodies, such as Sunlight, water, fresh air, material for food and shelter and the electronic Light substance that beats our hearts and enables us to live, move, breathe, think and have our Being in the physical plane.
In return, we agreed that we would balance our gift of Life by using our Lifeforce and our creative faculties of thought and feeling to expand the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. We agreed that we would use our gift of free will to observe the patterns of perfection in the Causal Body of God and then combine those patterns in our own unique ways to create new, previously unknown expressions of Divinity in the world of form. We agreed to send forth our gift of Life in ways that would add to the Light of the world. This is easily done through our expressions of love, reverence for all Life, gratitude, wisdom, abundance, peace, joy and happiness, which bless all Life on Earth.
When we fell into the abyss of our own human miscreations, we forgot about the agreements we made with God. Even though we were still receiving and using all of the gifts of Life our Father-Mother God were providing for us, we were not giving anything back in return. We were not fulfilling our part of the agreement by balancing the gifts of Life we were utilizing by adding to the Light of the world. That self-centered behavior effectively blocked the flow of God’s abundance.
Once our supply was blocked, we fell into the dysfunctional pattern of struggling every day just to make enough money to pay for the things we needed to sustain our physical bodies. Those were the same things that God had already given to us for free. When we expend our time, energy and money to pay for what God has already provided for us, it is like not giving anything back at all to balance our gift of Life. That imbalance trapped us in a mode of stagnation. As a result, we were cast into the paralyzing throes of poverty which only perpetuated our consciousness of lack and limitation.
That perplexing condition is the cause of the poverty we have experienced over many lifetimes, and it is the reason for the financial situations that are affecting the global economy now. The good news is that we created this problem, and we have the power to do something about it. We have the ability to renew our contracts with God and to reclaim our prosperity.All we have to do to renew our contract with God is to begin doing what we agreed to do in the first place. That means that we need to balance the gift of Life we receive and benefit from every day by giving something back in return and expanding the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
That may sound complicated, but it is actually very simple. Anything we do to improve the quality of Life on Earth expands the borders of Divinity and adds to the Light of the world. Whatever we do to bless all Life by sharing our love, reverence, adoration, gratitude, wisdom, abundance, peace, joy and happiness further enhances the creation of Heaven on Earth.There are as many ways to open up to the flow of God’s abundance as there are people on the planet devising ways to balance their gift of Life by sharing their love and appreciation. If we specifically want to increase the abundance of money in our lives, however, there is a very specific process we must follow.
INCREASING OUR CASH FLOW
At the present time we use money as our means of exchange, so in order for us to attain prosperity and to become financially free, we need to increase our flow of money. We can easily do that by applying the Universal Law of the Circle. Remember, like attracts like. What we send out in the form of energy expands and returns to us. Money is energy. In order for us to attract more money into our lives, we need to send out money.
Needless to say, we are all sending out tons of money to pay for our bodily needs. The problem is, God already provided those needs to us for free, so that money doesn't count as our balancing gift of appreciation for our Lifeforce. In order to increase our cash flow, we must give money back to God, in appreciation for our gift of Life, to support things over and above what we spend to sustain our physical bodies.
The spiritual key to increasing our cash flow is for us to give a portion of our money away to people who will use it to assist in cocreating Heaven on Earth.
There are myriad ways we can accomplish this. We can give money to people, institutions, organizations, charities, spiritual groups, religious groups, corporations, human- or animal-rights groups, environmental groups, human endeavors associated with science, medicine, research, alternative fuels and energy sources, the arts, education, sustainable development, global peace, justice or to any other person, place, condition or thing that we know is working with reverence for ALL Life and a genuine desire to cocreate the wonders of Heaven on Earth.
The general consensus is that if we give as little as ten percent of our income back to God in appreciation for our gift of Life, we will open up to such an influx of money that we won't be able to handle it all. The attitude and consciousness with which we give our money away is critical to our success. Our money must be freely given away with no strings attached. We cannot expect anything in return from the people or places we give it to other than for them to use the money for the highest good of all concerned and to improve the quality of Life on the planet.
Once we give our money away, it is important for us to acknowledge and accept that, in compliance with the Universal Law of the Circle, the money will expand and return to us through the God supply of all good things.
The reason we need to consciously affirm the return of our money is because we have forgotten that money is a form of energy which should have been going out and returning to us all along. We have just been blocking that natural process with our poverty consciousness.
Through the distorted perception of our human egos we have developed the expectation that money goes out but that it never comes back. By affirming our Divine Birthright and decreeing to accept God’s limitless flow of abundance, we reprogram ourselves to expect prosperity. We can start by claiming a tenfold return of our gift, but in Truth, there is no limit to the return we can expect. When we state the following decree with deep feeling, we affirm our gift of love and appreciation and claim God’s flow of abundance on the return current.
PROSPERITY DECREE
I AM giving __($100.00)__ back to God in love and appreciation for my gift of Life.
I AM gratefully receiving __($1000.00)__ from God’s infinite flow of abundance on the return current with the highest good of all concerned.
Once we give our love and appreciation for our Life back to God in the energy of money and claim God’s tenfold return flow of abundance, it is important for us to consciously expect to receive an increase of money. We must not limit God by trying to figure out where the money will come from; we just need to be open and receptive to every single avenue of return.
Every time we receive unexpected money or someone buys something for us or pays for something that we thought we were going to have to pay for ourselves, we should accept that is God’s abundance flowing back into our lives. If things we need are on sale or if our bills are less than we thought they were going to be, that is our gift of money coming back to us. If someone gives us an item that we thought we were going to have to purchase or we get a raise or a higher paying job, we are receiving God’s abundance. If someone finally pays an old debt that we thought was lost forever or we receive a bigger refund than we were expecting on our income tax return, we should acknowledge the money is part of our returning abundance.
As we participate in giving and receiving our money in love and appreciation for our gift of Life, God’s abundance becomes an ever-present state of Being and tangible presence in our lives. The more we fulfill our original agreement with God and balance our gift of Life by adding to the Light of the world through our thoughts, words, feelings, actions, and money the sooner we will be financially free.

In the beginning, our Father-Mother God gave us everything we needed to easily sustain our physical bodies during our Earthly sojourn. We were given the radiance of the Sun, fresh air, water, food and materials from which to build shelters and make clothing for ourselves. The Divine Intent was for our physical needs to be taken care of so that we could focus on using our gift of free will and our creative faculties of thought and feeling to learn to cocreate the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God in the physical plane.
It was never the Divine Plan that we struggle from morning until night in mundane jobs just to put food on the table and supply the needs of our physical bodies. That, in fact, is a gross distortion of the original Divine Plan for this planet, and it is a cumbersome distraction from our purpose and reason for being in this school of learning.
After the “fall,” we lost awareness of our Divine Heritage and the fact that we are Children of God. As we descended into denser and denser frequencies of our own human miscreations, we were unable to hear the guidance of our I AM Presence, which we now refer to as “the still small voice within.” To compensate for that void in our lives, we developed our fragmented, fear-based human egos. We gave our power away to this mutated aspect of ourselves and allowed it to manipulate us into believing that we are just our physical bodies and that the physical plane is all that exists.
With that distorted perception, we started believing in lack and limitation. We forgot that we are cocreating this reality and that the unformed primal Light that comprises every particle of Life in the physical plane is limitless. We forgot about the infinite abundance of God, and we started fearing for our very survival. We became afraid that there was not going to be enough of the necessities of life in order for everyone to live in comfort and peace.
We began hoarding the things we needed to sustain our physical bodies which, in turn, blocked the flow of God’s infinite abundance. We are cocreators with our Father-Mother God, so when our fear-based thoughts and feelings reflected on the elemental substance of the Earth, we started experiencing inclement weather conditions which resulted in floods, droughts, famines, plagues and pestilence. When that happened, we were catapulted into a vicious circle. The more we hoarded the things we needed to survive, the less the necessities of life were made available to us and the more afraid we became.
We developed a consciousness of greed and selfishness, which we believed was necessary in order to survive. We started fighting with each other over land, food, water and material things. Eventually we created a monetary system to barter for the very things God had freely given to each of us. As the confusion and chaos built in momentum, our human egos coerced us into believing that whatever we needed to do to survive was appropriate, even if it meant lying, stealing, cheating or killing.
As we witness the meltdown of the global economy, we can clearly see the evidence of this tragic situation everywhere we look. Practically every malady manifesting on Earth can be traced back to the fear-based consciousness of lack and limitation. That is true whether we are talking about the corruption, violence and moral depravity in governments, the military, financial institutions, corporations, the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries, religious organizations, educational institutions, some profit and nonprofit organizations or the private sector and individuals.
Our ego-based fear for survival infuses Humanity with a willingness to do whatever it takes to get what we want. For aeons of time, people have continually acted out of the distorted perception of lack and limitation. As a result of that illusion, people everywhere are writhing in the pain and suffering our human egos perpetuated by entrapping us in poverty consciousness.
It is time for us to take back the power our human egos have usurped from us, and it is time for us to give our I AM Presence full dominion of our lives. We have the ability to reclaim our Divine Heritage and to restore the limitless flow of God’s abundance. Never has it been more important for us to do so.
As the Light of God increases on Earth and the negativity that conflicts with that Light is pushed to the surface to be transmuted and healed, we are seeing the global economy reel on the shifting sands of corruption and greed. From outer appearances, it looks like the economy is headed for total collapse, but, in fact, this is the darkness before the dawn.
The purging that is taking place in the economic world is a necessary part of the healing process. The old-age archetypes of greed, selfishness, corruption and moral depravity are being exposed and shattered in order to clear the way for the new archetypes of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace. Those who are willing to attain their wealth by harming another part of Life are doomed to failure. Whether they are hurting people or polluting the Earth, their nefarious efforts are being exposed in the radiant Light of Divine Truth.
The dog-eat-dog, looking-out-for-number-one selfishness that has been so prevalent over the years cannot be sustained now that the new archetypes are in place.

111 Confirmation
Prayer and fasting heals just about anything in a few short days
It's a strange predilection of mankind that we look for confirmation for our aliments. We look to see what happened to everybody else who has experienced similar symptoms to ours, and in doing so, we do ourselves a great disservice. What many people don't realize is that just because somebody else developed a chronic condition after showing similar symptoms to ours doesn't mean that we will do the same.We are all dealing with toxic thoughts, substances, and experiences in our world that may or may not present us with short term aches, pains, bumps, zits, and so forth. It's a part of life nowadays. What we oftentimes forget is that a great many of the things we think we have "wrong" with us are only temporary. They'll go away by themselves in a short time if we leave them alone. Oh sure, sometimes we'll need to adjust our diet or our work habits for awhile, and that is natural.But it's unnatural for us to look too deeply for confirmation for the causes for our aliments. In fact, we put ourselves in harm's way when we delve too deeply, parading every disease imaginable before us, in our quest to find out the cause of an ache or pain. We tend to make things chronic that would have only been temporary. You see people do this all the time. They'll get a new bump somewhere on their body and begin to mull over all the reasons as to how it could possibly have gotten there. They'll check out magazines, talk to friends, and have doctors run test after test as they seach frantically to find out what happened to others who also had similar bumps. In order to validate their own theories (which are growing rapidly now), they'll even resort to looking for coincidences. For example, while walking through a popular coffee shop, they might notice a newspaper sitting on a table with an article in it that describes what happened to a person who had a similar bump - and lo and behold, they treat this as a confirmation for their own condition, and thus make it worse.Fortunately, there are a couple of good antidotes for the toxicity in our world today. First, we can always remind ourself that we are creating whatever we put our attention on, and that when we dig too deeply in search of explanations for our aches and pains, we run the risk of bringing other possibilities into the picture that have nothing to do with our original situation. Instead, we can tell ourself that we are fine and that we do not choose to use our body to act out any sickness scenarios. According to the Law, as we envision ourselves being happy, healthy, and whole, that is what we will create.And second, we can trust that whatever is bothering us is only temporary and will go away on it's own very soon. The shamans and medicine men of old knew that prayer and fasting healed almost everything in a few days. It could be that instead of spending our precious energy in search of confirmation for what ails us, we could stop eating or begin a Master Cleanse, retire into a quiet place where we can be alone for awhile, and ask God to help us. Please understand that we are not saying there is anything wrong with going to a medical practitioner. If you believe that a doctor will help you, then, by all means, that is the route for you to follow. Likewise, if you have a broken bone or need a cut stitched up, then doctors are the experts and can be of great help. But when it comes to diagnosing sicknesses, it's a guessing game and we are still in the medical dark ages. It's easy to come out of a hospital or doctor's office nowadays feeling worse than when you went in. On the other hand, if you can bring yourself to believe in it, you have a just as good or better chance of getting rid of your health challenges through prayer and fasting than by all the remedies prescribed by the credentialed medical establishment. That's a universal fact.
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am purifying my body every-so-often through prayer and fasting.

It's a part of life nowadays. What we oftentimes forget is that a great many of the things we think we have "wrong" with us are only temporary. They'll go away by themselves in a short time if we leave them alone. Oh sure, sometimes we'll need to adjust our diet or our work habits for awhile, and that is natural.But it's unnatural for us to look too deeply for confirmation for the causes for our aliments. In fact, we put ourselves in harm's way when we delve too deeply, parading every disease imaginable before us, in our quest to find out the cause of an ache or pain. We tend to make things chronic that would have only been temporary. You see people do this all the time. They'll get a new bump somewhere on their body and begin to mull over all the reasons as to how it could possibly have gotten there. They'll check out magazines, talk to friends, and have doctors run test after test as they seach frantically to find out what happened to others who also had similar bumps. In order to validate their own theories (which are growing rapidly now), they'll even resort to looking for coincidences. For example, while walking through a popular coffee shop, they might notice a newspaper sitting on a table with an article in it that describes what happened to a person who had a similar bump - and lo and behold, they treat this as a confirmation for their own condition, and thus make it worse.Fortunately, there are a couple of good antidotes for the toxicity in our world today. First, we can always remind ourself that we are creating whatever we put our attention on, and that when we dig too deeply in search of explanations for our aches and pains, we run the risk of bringing other possibilities into the picture that have nothing to do with our original situation. Instead, we can tell ourself that we are fine and that we do not choose to use our body to act out any sickness scenarios. According to the Law, as we envision ourselves being happy, healthy, and whole, that is what we will create.And second, we can trust that whatever is bothering us is only temporary and will go away on it's own very soon. The shamans and medicine men of old knew that prayer and fasting healed almost everything in a few days. It could be that instead of spending our precious energy in search of confirmation for what ails us, we could stop eating or begin a Master Cleanse, retire into a quiet place where we can be alone for awhile, and ask God to help us. Please understand that we are not saying there is anything wrong with going to a medical practitioner. If you believe that a doctor will help you, then, by all means, that is the route for you to follow. Likewise, if you have a broken bone or need a cut stitched up, then doctors are the experts and can be of great help. But when it comes to diagnosing sicknesses, it's a guessing game and we are still in the medical dark ages. It's easy to come out of a hospital or doctor's office nowadays feeling worse than when you went in. On the other hand, if you can bring yourself to believe in it, you have a just as good or better chance of getting rid of your health challenges through prayer and fasting than by all the remedies prescribed by the credentialed medical establishment. That's a universal fact.
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am purifying my body every-so-often through prayer and fasting.

Appreciating What Is
Enjoying Your Age
In each stage of life, there are wonderful experiences one can savor and valuable insights one can absorb. Every new decade and, in fact, every new year brings with it wisdom, transformation, and growth, as well as ends and beginnings. Many people, however, believe that there is one age that eclipses the others. They expend energy trying to reach it and, once it has passed, trying to retain it. But wishing to be younger or older is a denial of the joys that have been and the joys yet to be, as well as the beauty of your life in the present. Holding on to one age can make it difficult to appreciate each new milestone you reach. Taking pleasure in the delights of your age, whether you are in your 20s, 40s, 60s, or 80s, can help you see the magnificence and usefulness of the complex seasons of your life. Each new year gifted to us by the universe is replete with exciting and unfamiliar experiences. In our 20s, we can embrace the energy of youth and the learning process, knowing it’s okay to not have all the answers. As we move through our third decade, we grow more self-assured as the confusion of our young adulthood melts away. We can honor these years by putting aside our fears of aging and concentrating instead on solidifying our values and enjoying our growing emotional maturity. In our 40s, we become conscious of the wisdom we have attained through life experience and are blessed with the ability to put it to good use. We are not afraid to explore unfamiliar territory or to change. In our 50s, we tend to have successfully navigated our midlife reevaluations and have prioritized our lives. In the decades beyond, we discover a greater sense of freedom than we have ever known and can truly enjoy the memory of all we’ve seen and done. Try to enjoy the age you are at now, for each age presents its own unique wisdom to savor.

Get in the Void
A while back I wrote about how "dis-connected" I've been feeling for quite some time. Part of this feeling included doubting my abilities, doubting my life's purpose/soul path and feeling alone and uncertain about my future. I didn't realize that this is a sign of an upcoming shift or that a shift is happening within and around me. I, and many others experiencing this, are shedding our "old selves" making way for our "new or re-born" selves" to emerge. This must happen in order to prepare us for our next journey, whatever that journey may be. So it truly is a time for rejoicing.
It is good to release any resistance we may be feeling and become an observer instead. It's when we try to hold on to those things that are no longer serving us or keeping us from evolving, that we bring on pain and suffering. So let go, sit down, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride! Life really is exciting when we get out of our way.

Creating What We Don't Want
Creating What We Don’t WantWhen Worry becomes A Prayer
If prayer is an intention that we announce to the universe in order to create a desired outcome, then our every thought is a prayer. This includes thoughts of worry as well as of hope. All thoughts are subtle creative energy. Some thoughts are more focused or repeated more often, gathering strength. Some are written down or spoken, giving them even greater power. Every thought we have is part of a process whereby we cocreate our experience and our reality with the universe. When we use our creative energy unconsciously, we create what is commonly known as self-fulfilling prophecy. In essence, when we worry, we are repeatedly praying and lending our energy to the creation of something we don’t want. The good news is that we can retrain our minds and thoughts to focus our energy on what we do desire to bring into our lives. Since most worry is repetitive, it will take more than one positive thought to counteract the energy we’ve created. The simplest antidote to worry is affirmations. When we hold these positive thoughts, repeat them often, speak them and write them and refer to them throughout our day, we are using focused energy to create positive results. We can start right away, together: I am a creative being, using my energy to cocreate a wonderful world. I know that I create my experience of life from within, and as I do so, I also create ripples of energy around me that echo into the world. My positive thoughts gather together with the thoughts and prayers of others, and together we create enough positive energy to heal not only our own lives but the world we share. I am grateful for the ability to cocreate good in my life and in the world. A lot of times we have concerned loved ones that worry about us. When this happens they are also sending out a worry prayer to the world. A loving conversation letting them know what is happening is the easiest solution. Also, ask them to send you positive affirmations rather than worry about you. After all, worry doesn’t do them any good either. Explain to them that worry can actually be energetically harmful to you and that wishing good things for you is much more beneficial and much more fun too.

Leaving Hurt Behind
You may find yourself in an irritable mood today yet wholly unable to say why you feel so glum. It may be that you are harboring feelings of resentment directed toward someone in your environment or toward a circumstance beyond your conscious control. However, far from helping you resolve your hurt, these feelings are likely simply serving as fuel for a grumpy and uneasy mood. To cheer yourself up, try taking the time you need to hone in on and address these lingering issues. You may find that once you have determined why you feel low today, it becomes easier and easier to release your negativity and once again achieve a centered state of mind.When feelings of hurt no longer serve any practical purpose in our experience, releasing them into the ether is one of the best ways of setting ourselves free. We embark upon a new phase of our lives when we divest ourselves of emotional baggage because we are then able to employ the energy and brainpower we might otherwise have spent contemplating our pain in other areas of our existence. Whereas our inability to stop internalizing our hurt held us back, our newfound freedom practically propels us forward into the unknown. A fresh outlook on life will almost always inspire us to seek out novel experiences and educate ourselves more thoroughly. As you rid yourself of longstanding resentments today, you will feel an intense lightness of being that compels you to begin a new chapter of your life.

The Healing Channel
Everyone Can Heal
Touch is the first tool we turn to when confronting pain. We react similarly to a stubbed toe and a broken heart, tenderly grasping the affected area. This need to apply physical contact is part of the innate healing instinct present within each of us. We are all born with the ability to heal ourselves and to heal others. Because healing energy does not come from within but from outside our ourselves, the energy is there for anyone to use, and thus no formal training is required. When you have the intent to heal and love is your only motive, you become a conduit for healing energy. Through the simple laying on of hands, you can direct that universal healing energy in order to comfort those who are experiencing pain or distress.In performing healing energy work, it is imperative that you ground yourself both before you begin and afterward. The illnesses and issues others face can be absorbed into our energy field, and healing can exhaust our own energy reserves. Address the universe directly, stating that you wish to be a one-way channel through which healing energy flows through you and that your energy supply should not be depleted. Next, speak your intention and place your hands on the individual you are endeavoring to heal. Let your intuition guide you to the afflicted area and imagine a healing white light being drawn in through the top of your head and emanating through your hands. The energy will begin to flow once you have made a physical connection, and your touch will help awaken the body’s capacity for self-healing. The afflicted areas of the body, which were initially tense or tight, will relax once imbued with enough healing energy. Not everybody is sensitive to subtle energy, so try n! ot to feel like you aren’t helping if you don’t feel the flow. The work you are doing is indeed helping. Finally, thank the universe. Disconnect yourself from the person being healed by speaking your intention to sever your connection and then wash your hands.Understanding how energy works is less important than consciously choosing to make use of it. Performing a loving healing session on your loved ones can be a wonderfully intimate experience that brings you closer together. And as the rejuvenating healing energy passes through you, it can awaken a profound compassion within you that helps you better understand the interactions between the spiritual, physical, and mental selves.

Full Moon Abundance Spell
As we enter into the first Full Moon of Spring in the month of April (4/9) , the first astro sign of the Horoscope (new beginnings), it also falls on a Thursday, otherwise known as Jupiter Day (the planet of abundance). The land, animals, plants & just nature in general become fertile with new birth. Scents, color & chirping pleasureably fill the air and make us feel enlivened and refreshed. This is a time for nurturing our desires and fulfilling our dreams.
The Abundance spell below is to be performed on the Full Moon well before 9:45pm (moon goes v/c at 9:45pm) or after 10pm.
You will need a green, (or white if you don't have green) candle. Don't forget matches & a safe dish to place your candle on.
Consecrate your candle, then take a toothpick or other sharp wooden object and write from top to bottom and in a clockwise motion, your request. Be specific.
Again, moving in a clockwise motion annoint your candle with Prosperity Oil. If you do not have prosperity oil, you can substitute with Bayberry, Rue, Patchouli or Frankencense. And, if you don't have any of these, don't fret, your intention is all that you really need.
Whether you will perform your ritual indoors or outdoors is completely up to you.
Open your circle and begin by facing the North. Invoke & give thanks to the direction of the North & the Keepers of the North & the Element of Earth,
Rotate and face the East, Invoke & give thanks to the direction of the East & the Keepers of the East & the Element of Air
Rotate and face the South, do the same as for the North & East, & calling in the Element of Fire
Rotate and face the West, do the same & calling in the Element of Water
Ask the Directions, Keepers & Elements to provide you with protection, and assistance with your request.
Settle in, take a few slow deep breaths, clear your mind of mundane chatter and focus intently on your request, then light your candle.
With Love & Grattitude call upon Barbelo, the Angel of Abundance for assistance and say the following:
Heavenly Angel Barbelo, I lovingly & humbly ask you for assistance. Please see that my request is carried into the Universe and dispersed amongst the stars, the Ancient Ones & the fibers of All that Is. Then chant the following 3x:
I am one with the Divine Presence.
I am one with abundance & wealth in my conscious & subconscious mind, and my 4-body system.
I am one with ALL things.
It is my inheritance to be joyful, healthy, prosperous, peaceful & successful in all that I do.
Unlimited Prosperity & Abundance flow easily, freely, effortlessly & endlessly to me with excess to spare & excess to share. For my highest good, greatest joy & for the highest good of all.
This I claim 3x3. So be it. So mote it be.
Sit quitely for awhile intently focused on your request, visualizing it coming to fruition. Intuitively, you will know when to close your circle. You can snuff out your candle at this time or allow it to burn completely. Please make sure if you allow your candle to burn through its in a safe place. Any left over wax or wick should be buried in Mother Earth. Always remember when closing to give grattitude to the four Directions, Keepers, Elements, Angels and whomever else you call in for assistance. Stand facing the North and close each Direction in reverse motion. Then give no more thought to your request, but be in a state of faith and knowingness that all things come to pass in Divine order & timing for our highest good & the highest good of all.
Blessings of Abundance & Well-Being to all on this Full Moon of New Beginnings

Breathing Into Order
Feeling Overwhelmed
Sometimes we may feel like there is just too much we need to do. Feeling overwhelmed may make it seem like the universe is picking on us, but the opposite is true: we are only given what we can handle. Difficult situations are opportunities to be our best selves, hone our skills and rise to the occasion. The best place to start is to take a deep breath. As you do, remind yourself that the universe works in perfect order and therefore you can get everything done that needs to get done. As you exhale, release all the details that you have no control over. The universe with it‘s infinite organizing power will orchestrate the right outcome. Anytime stress begins to creep up, remember to breathe through it with these thoughts.Then, make a list of everything you need to do. Note what needs to be done first, and mark the things others may be able to do for you or with you. Though we often think no one else can do it correctly or well, there are times when it is worth it to exhale, let go of our control, and ask for help from professionals or friends. With the remaining things that feel you must do yourself, take another breath and determine their true importance. Sometimes they are things we’d like to do, but aren’t really necessary. After taking these quick steps, you will find you have a plan laid out, freeing you from frenzied thoughts circling in your head. With calming deep breaths, you are now free to focus more fully on our priorities. Herbal teas or flower remedies along with wise choices about caffeine and food can help keep us from becoming frantic too. But with nothing further from us than our breath, we can breathe in our best intentions and let the rest go with an exhale. Keeping our lives centered and breathing into and through life’s challenges helps us learn what we are truly capable of doing, and we will find we have the ability to rise to any occasion. Remember you aren’t being picked on, and you are never alone.

Looking Within
Your mind will run you around, lifetime after lifetime, until you still it .
The world we live in is but one among an infinite number of realms and realities that are available to us. Joys and wonders abound in places that only become known when we are able to stop the constant onslaught of our egos. Indeed, when we take into consideration the vastness of All That Is, the part of us that is our persona, our ego, is very small, so small in fact as to be almost inconsequential in the great scheme of things. Of course, it would have us thinking otherwise. In seeking constant validation for its own existence, the ego has us telling ourselves that we know better than others, that we're smarter than most everyone else (even if our IQ hovers near dog-level), and that the world would be a marvelous place if others would just follow our lead. In short, our ego is lying to us every step of the way, and it for us to find our way out of the maze of lies so our Spirit can shine forth.That's what's important. Our Spirit calls out for release, for unbounded expression, for love and expansion. While, at the same time, our ego blocks the awakening of our Spirit with its constant distraction into mundane trivialities and survival issues which are, most often, unfounded. Isn't it time that we put the ego in its place? How about, for openers, if we give it the same consideration that we give our body every summer? How about we give it a two week vacation so our Spirit can come out and party for awhile?The destiny of men and women on Earth today is not to be found chasing after the promise of the American Dream. Those of us who grew up in the baby boomer generation have seen the American Dream come and go. It has outlived its usefulness. There was a time when it was very attractive, but it has left many of us feeling empty. One day, we may have been at the top of the material world, enjoying all of its bounty; and, the next day, that bounty could become burdensome or nonexistent, leaving us to wonder why we spent so much time and energy pursuing it.A common thread that runs through the minds of many of us is that there has to be more to life. There has to be something we can do, or someplace we can go, to achieve the lasting happiness that we instinctively know to be ours. Fortunately, there is a place we can go for fulfillment that offers us a vast range of wonderful experiences. This place lies within us - each and every one of us. As we close our eyes and be still for a few moments, sights, sounds, and feelings that were once hidden show themselves to us. We realize that we are more than our body. We are a Being who lives inside our physical body, and this Being continues to exist long after the physical body is gone.As we practice looking within, we find that the Spiritual Being who lives inside us is not encumbered by the manmade rules, contrived scenarios, and survival needs of the physical body. It is unlimited. It can take us to worlds we didn't previously know existed. Suddenly, we discover that the true destiny of man and woman is having free access to higher states of consciousness. We see that our future lies in other realms, other dimensions, other Universes. We feel like a seed which has remained dormant for a long time that has now popped its head above the soil, spread its new leaves out for all the world to see, and is reaching its young branches up to the sky.

Those of us who grew up in the baby boomer generation have seen the American Dream come and go. It has outlived its usefulness. There was a time when it was very attractive, but it has left many of us feeling empty. One day, we may have been at the top of the material world, enjoying all of its bounty; and, the next day, that bounty could become burdensome or nonexistent, leaving us to wonder why we spent so much time and energy pursuing it.A common thread that runs through the minds of many of us is that there has to be more to life. There has to be something we can do, or someplace we can go, to achieve the lasting happiness that we instinctively know to be ours. Fortunately, there is a place we can go for fulfillment that offers us a vast range of wonderful experiences. This place lies within us - each and every one of us. As we close our eyes and be still for a few moments, sights, sounds, and feelings that were once hidden show themselves to us. We realize that we are more than our body. We are a Being who lives inside our physical body, and this Being continues to exist long after the physical body is gone.As we practice looking within, we find that the Spiritual Being who lives inside us is not encumbered by the manmade rules, contrived scenarios, and survival needs of the physical body. It is unlimited. It can take us to worlds we didn't previously know existed. Suddenly, we discover that the true destiny of man and woman is having free access to higher states of consciousness. We see that our future lies in other realms, other dimensions, other Universes. We feel like a seed which has remained dormant for a long time that has now popped its head above the soil, spread its new leaves out for all the world to see, and is reaching its young branches up to the sky.

Change Your Thoughts;Change Your Life hmm where've I heard that one before?
Interestingly I woke up (again, 3rd day in a row) this morning feeling so disconnected from everything and everyone. (I can't tell you how many people have shared with me about feeling this way too....tons!) I thought that I had passed through this shift a couple of months ago, but apparently not, I mean I've only been feeling this way off & on for over a year. I'm working on doing a segment on the Four Agreements, so immediately I begin to analyse what is it I'm really feeling deep down inside, or "higher up" that gives me this feeling of separation & disconnection. Especially since I already know that we are always connected to Creator and all things. What is really causing me to feel this way?
I guess since I closed the store I feel very out of touch with what's going on, and I'm still struggling with trying to figure out "what is my life's purpose....now". I've pretty much given up on so-called psychics for information, because as far as I'm concerned, they do not know more then I do when it comes to me. So why bother. It's really about trusting myself (our-Selves) more completely. I already know what is best for me, I just don't always listen, most likely due to fear....the real killer of joy.
This is a mighty shift our Mother Earth is going through, one of thousands past and thousands to come, how we deal with these shifts is what determines how we will perceive life to be for us now and in the future. I always try to remind myself, my outer world is a reflection of my inner world.....so with that being said, I choose to "feel" connected to all things, have joy, peace, abundance of all that is good in my world and the world around me. What do you choose? It's important to ask ourselves "why" do I feel this way or that way, what is causing this feeling of disconnection or separation from the world I live in, and then work on removing that which is no longer serving us, without beating ourselves up. Then we need to take a look on what is really going on inside ourselves, deep down inside. Do we harbor feelings of unforgiveness about a situation that could be decades old that we thought we forgot or forgave.....do we feel poor inside, angry, frightened, alone??? It's vital that we acknowledge whatever deep emotions we have, embrace them, learn from them and then transmute them with & through love and into love so that we can begin to create a fearless, healthy, joyful, peaceful and abundant world for ourselves and the planet. This is co-creation and taking responsibility for our universe. I just love Dr. Dyer's quote/book: Change Your Thoughts; Change Your Life, kinda says it all. What do you think?

Saturday's Tragedy
I have chosen to keep my friend's name private (author of the post below) out of courtesy & respect to her. But I believe everyone should open heartedly consider what has been written. We could immediately begin passing judgement, become extremely angry, depressed, frightened and an array of other feelings from the tragedy that occured last Saturday. But as I replied to my dear friend, there is order out of chaos. The Divine plan is so much bigger then we can begin to fathom, and we cannot buy into the fear and actions of those that harm others, or our government's decisions to place more criminals out into our streets. We need to always remember that we have the POWER to change our world and make it a better, safer & more loving place for ourselves, our children and their children. Keep your light shining brightly and continue to be diligent in sending love out into the world and into Mother Earth....the time is now, whether you see the changes happening or not, just know that change is occuring, and for the better. Remember we are in the world, but not of the world; be the observer and not the participant. We are making a difference! If you should feel compelled to do so, please write your congressman and ask them to change the current legislation in regard to releasing back into society, those incarcerated individuals that have not shown signs of rehabilitation, or have chosen not to participate in the rehabilitative programs available through the state prison system.
Friends and Family:
Most of you know about the parolee's shooting and killing four Oakland Police Officers this past weekend. I have received many phone calls asking for information "Did you know these officers?", "Did you know the parolee? What was of most interest to me was the lack of question and concern about the parolee's Field Parole Agent. Due to my avoiding phone calls and conversation, I thought it would be better to let you all know how I am and how myself and my partners think and feel about now....
As an Assistant Supervisor of an Oakland Parole Unit, I would like to firstly extend my condolences to the families and give praise and acknowledgement to the four Fallen Heroes. Secondly, I would like to extend my condolence to the Field Parole Agent assigned to parolee Mixon. When incidents such as this one occurs, the Field Parole Agent is immediately under scrutiny by our Department. With a caseload of over 100 parolees, this Agent had her work cut our for her…and she did an exceptional job in this case.
Parolee "Mixon" was assigned to the "high risk" caseload…meaning his propensity for violence, drug use, and community victimization was very high -yet the Parole Board determined he had a right to be released back to the community after serving only 7 months on a parole violation (called Determinate Sentencing). His DNA has now been linked to the February 2009 rape OF A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL who lives close to where the officers lost their lives (74th and McArthur /East Oakland). He is also a suspect in 5 other rape cases and his DNA will be the key to closing these cases. This parolee's cousin is currently housed inside one of our prisons, committed for First Degree Murder; another cousin is out on parole and on a "high risk" caseload. The community's support of law enforcement is divided. Last night at the vigil for the officers at the site of the the shooting (74th and Mc Arthur) - protestors carrying wooden signs spoke of police harrassment to the NEWS MEDIA…one man spat on the memorial and was arrested - others shouted "Fuck the Police!". My interpretation of this is complete disgrace as I can tell you all that it was NOT the police who caused Mixon to commit the car jacking in San Francisco 6 years ago, it was NOT the police that caused Mixon to violate his parole conditions, it was NOT the police that caused Mixon to rape a 12-year-old child (and possibly others), and it was NOT the police that caused MIXON to carry guns as a FELON. Felons buy guns to commit crimes - NOT to protect themselves from the community (and police unless you're doing something you're not suppose to do!)
Lastly, I want to say on a personal note that Oakland is a difficult city to be working the streets. Myself and the Agents that I supervise put out trust in the Oakland Police Department AND the Fugitive Apprehension Team. Our Special Agent (name witheld) of the apprehension team was one of the ones that went out to the parolee's residence early last week in order to apprehend MIXON on the active Parolee Fugitive PAL Warrant…they risk their lives to ensure community safety. I am extremely proud of all law enforcement agencies in terms of how they h andle their business under extremely difficult situations here in Oakland . Late last year I was involved in an arrest of a fugitive parolee here in Oakland that was very difficult…while walking him to the ambulance in cuffs, the neighborhood came out and began yelling and screaming at us (officers). Two women approached me screaming at me "Bitch!" "Fucking Bitch!" Unless you've been in our shoes it's difficult to talk to others about our line of work and I personally choose to not do so.
This is the first time I've put out an email about my work to my friends and family…but I chose not to communicate what we (law enforcement) go through on a daily basis because you need not worry…we took these jobs as a CALL TO SERVICE…we serve our communities the best we can.
Now I want you to keep in mind in the coming months, that our Gov. is putting into legislation the release of 52,000 inmates to the streets WITHOUT PAROLE SUPERVISION. If any of you are as concerned as I am, now is the time to begin planning on what YOU want to have happen and begin to act upon it. Write your legislators. Write your local Representatives. Write your Gov. The media and Legislators will focus upon the "Broken Parole System", but NOT on their paychecks and their passing of Senate Bills that are tying the hands of Parole Agents working the streets. Please keep in mind that Jerry Brown, State Attorney General who started the negative statement "Broken Parole System" is the same man who changed the sentencing of criminals from Indeterminate to Determinate Sentencing back in the day as Govenor! What does this mean? Indeterminate Sentencing meant the inmate was required to complete his release programs (education, anger management counseling, menta l health counseling, victimization classes, gang diversion classes, and show a change in negative behaviors like not getting into fights or performing extortion). If the inmate fails to show on-going, long-term progress - he/she is NOT released on parole! NOW - thanks to J. Brown - it's Determinate Sentencing, meaning the inmate has a set release date and they are to be released when that date arrives - no matter how poor a program he/she has performed while serving their sentence for their crime in prison. This means that although we have exceptional programs available in our institutions, if the inmate chooses not to participate in them, it's not important because they know that the will be released when the Determinate Sentence Release Date arrives.
In case you don't know, we parole agents have also received a 10% pay cut and are forced to take 2-day furloughs a month…who's watching the streets when we're not at work? OAKLAND PD., Hayward PD, Livermore PD, San Francisco PD, Richmond PD, El Cerrito PD, Pinole PD, Antioch PD, Brentwood PD, Pittsburg PD, Oakley PD, South San Francisco PD, San Bruno PD, El Cerrito PD, Union City PD, San Leandro PD, Livermore PD, Castro Valley PD, Martinez PD, Concord PD, San Lorenzo PD, Bay Point PD, Alameda County Sheriffs, Contra Costa County Sheriffs, and San Francisco County Sheriffs.

Live Life to the Fullest
A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.'She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, she was saving it for a special occasion.
He placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, as his wife had just died.
He turned to me and said: Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion. I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less.I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.
I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day...I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occassions, I use it whenever I want to. The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day... are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now...I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends...She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food.It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come..Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one. If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about. If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it 'One of these day’s, remember that'One day' is far away.... or might never come...No matter if you're superstitious or not, spend some time reading it.....It holds useful messages for the soul. Don't keep this message.Send copies and watch what goes on in the next four days.
Send back to the person who sent it to you. (The person who cares about you.)

An Important Reminder
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robleshttp://eraofpeace.org You have the ability to make a positive difference in the world. This has been a roller-coaster time of miracles and challenges. It seems as though these extreme experiences are being used to wake Humanity up at warp speed. No matter how hard people may try, their I AM Presence is not allowing them to push the snooze button in order to go back to sleep. It is time for people everywhere to remember who they are and why they are on Earth during this auspicious moment. Important changes are taking place, and in spite of outer-world appearances, we are beginning to see evidence of people in every walk of life reaching out to make a positive difference.It seems that everyday we are being flooded with fear-based information that reflects the dire possibilities of economic collapse, terrorist attacks, war, environmental disasters, governmental and corporate corruption, crime, violence and myriad other potential dangers. It is very easy to become so overwhelmed with concern that we just wring our hands and muddle through our days in a state of anxiety and desperation.The majority of people feel helpless when it comes to changing their lives or making a significant difference in the world. Everyone wants things to get better, but most people don't truly believe they can effectively assist in the process. Well, fortunately, nothing could be further from the Truth. We are ALL cocreators. We are on Earth during this unprecedented time for the explicit purpose of uniting with our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven to cocreate the wonders of Heaven on Earth. Whether we consciously remember it or not, each and every one of us has been preparing for a very long time to assist in this mission. We all have unique skills and abilities that no one else on the planet possesses in exactly the same way we do. We have volunteered to assist in helping to change the old, obsolete behavior patterns that are responsible for the pain and suffering Humanity is enduring. This is being brought to our attention by our I AM Presence because the time for us to begin fulfilling our Divine Missions is NOW! Traumatic experiences cause us to regroup and to reevaluate how we are living our lives. We have fallen into the pattern of using pain as our motivator. As long as we are not in pain, we will just plod along, day after day, without much thought. We halfheartedly go through the motions of doing what we need to do to survive. We go to our jobs to make money to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. We take care of our families’ physical needs, and with the little bit of time that is left, we try to take care of ourselves.When a tragedy happens, however, we are forced to put our lives into perspective. We stop for a moment and focus on what really matters to us. If we use the tragic event to change our mode of operation and to put more meaning in our lives, then something good will come out of even the most horrific experience. The tragic events of September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the housing debacle, the economic meltdown, and several other challenging events have transformed our lives forever. We have a choice as to whether we allow catastrophes to catapult us into lives of fear and dread or whether we use those experiences to motivate us into creating lives of fulfillment and joy. We have the ability to do both of those things; the path we choose is up to us.The only reason we have not been cocreating lives of joy, happiness, prosperity, loving relationships, financially and creatively rewarding jobs, vibrant health, fulfillment, enlightenment and every other positive experience is because we have forgotten that we can.Not only can we create the lives we dream of, this is our purpose and reason for being. We are Children of God, and we have been invested with the gift of free will. Our thoughts and feelings are creative. Whatever we focus our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings on, we bring into physical form. It is time for us to remember this Divine Truth and for us to consciously choose to create the lives we want instead of inadvertently manifesting, through our fears, the experiences we do not want.It is time for us to reclaim our Divine Birthrights and to fulfill our Divine Potentials. As we take charge of our lives, we will be effective examples for our loved ones and friends. We will be positive catalysts, and the results of our efforts will be exponential. We are all One, and the Universal Law is “As I Am lifted up, ALL Life is lifted up with me.” We can each make a positive difference. As we change our lives, we will change the direction for Humanity and for all Life evolving on this planet. Never underestimate your ability to be a powerful force of good on this planet.You have been preparing for a very long time to fulfill the mission you agreed to accomplish in this lifetime. Not only do you have the skill, talent, wisdom, courage and strength to accomplish your mission, our Father-Mother God and the entire Company of Heaven are standing in readiness eagerly awaiting the opportunity to assist you. These selfless Beings of Light are with you now. From inner levels they guide and protect you, and they intervene to help you every time you ask them to. You are never alone. If you ever feel doubtful that you have the power to make a positive difference in this world, just remember the entire Company of Heaven is there to help you every time you ask for their assistance.When you begin to create a plan to make a positive difference in your life, the first step is to take a good look at your life as it exists right now. In order to change your life, you must first be aware of what presently exists. So take some time to evaluate your life as an objective observer. This is not a time to berate, criticize, or condemn yourself for past mistakes. That only adds more negative energy to the situation. The purpose of this evaluation is to help you see what it is you like about your life, and what it is you would like to change. Usually people know their lives are not what they want them to be, and they may be aware of some major problems, such as finances or health, but they have never actually taken the time to evaluate their overall lives. This is a crucial step toward making a positive difference, so invest the time to take a thorough inventory of your life.In order for you to succeed in transforming your life, you need to plan where you are going. You need to have objectives and goals. Most people spend so much time worrying and dwelling on the things that they do not want in their lives that they have not taken the time to figure out what they really do want. Remember, what you think about, what you hold in your mind and put your attention and energy into, you draw into your life. So it is time to stop worrying about the things that you do not want and start focusing on the things that you do want. Patterns of thinking and emotional responses are usually habits you have allowed yourself to develop without much conscious awareness. Now that you have decided to take charge of your life, you no longer need to just muddle through the day. Instead, you can deliberately control your thoughts, words, actions, and feelings. Since it is a natural law that what you put your attention and energy into, you draw into your life. It is only logical that you take the steps necessary to let go of destructive programming and begin creating for yourself a fulfilling, happy, harmonious, abundant, and peaceful life. Most people rarely feel that they are negative; so one of the things I have them do is keep a scratch tally for an entire week of every negative thought or feeling they experience. Notice I said EVERY negative thought or feeling. This includes the little, trivial, petty things that you allow to pop into your mind, such as the person that pulls in front of your car that you think is a jerk, or the service you received that you feel was lousy, or the lady at the supermarket that you think is a slob, or the disgust you have for yourself for overeating, or the anger you feel if the car breaks down, and on and on.My experience has been that by the end of the week even so-called positive people have several sheets of tally marks and are astounded at how often they were negative and shocked at how oblivious they were about their negative thinking. So, the next step toward your decision to make a positive difference in the world is to observe your daily responses for an entire week. Pay very close attention to your thoughts and feelings and keep a simple scratch tally of every negative thought or feeling you have. Do not empower the negative thought by writing it down, just keep a scratch tally of it.This is a very valuable exercise because it clearly shows how many times every single day you are misqualifying energy without even realizing it.Many people are wallowing in the poor me syndrome. They feel that they are really good people, but all of these terrible things keep happening to them anyway. What this exercise reveals is that we may not be doing catastrophically negative things like mugging people or robbing a bank, but we are often nickel-and-dimeing ourselves to death with trivial pettiness.Once you complete this exercise and acknowledge that you may not be controlling your thoughts or feelings, but just allowing them to happen, you can move on to the next step of changing those bad habits and begin to take control of your thoughts, words, and deeds.Each time you put forth the effort to deliberately program yourself into constructive thinking, the stronger you will become and the more natural the positive response will be. Before you know it, your pattern of thinking will automatically be positive instead of negative, and you will have established a new constructive habit.While you are going through this process of gaining control of your thoughts and feelings, you need to be tolerant and forgiving of yourself. If you find negative thinking or negative feelings creeping into your consciousness, you need to stop, empty your mind of the negative thought or feeling, take a deep breath, regroup, and then look for the positive side of the situation you are dealing with. Don't give any more power to the negative thought by berating or condemning yourself for the transgression. Just let it go, flood it with the Violet Flame of Forgiveness, and focus on the positive side of the situation, no matter how small.Begin your new habit of positive thinking by looking for the positive side of every person, place, condition, or thing you encounter. The general rule is that we can easily spot the flaws in other people, but unless someone is a genius or looks like a Greek God or Goddess, we rarely notice their positive attributes. In this exercise you must go out of your way to search for something good in every single person, place, condition, and thing you come in contact with. Sometimes this is a real challenge. Some people you know may seem so objectionable that the only thing you will be able to appreciate about them is the color of their socks, but you must find something good in every instance.After practicing this for a while, you will come to the realization that, no matter how bad things seem or how degenerate a person may appear, there is a spark of hope in every situation and a spark of Light in every person. By consciously putting your attention on that one redeeming quality, rather than giving momentum and power to the negative, you can turn that destructive situation into a positive experience, and you can often give the negative person the incentive he or she needs to find a better way of behaving. This may sound too good to be true, but I assure you that this is the natural Law of Attraction, and it is as accurate and as workable as the Laws of Mathematics, Music, Physics, or any other science.The next exercise I want to share with you is designed to help you reprogram your thinking with positive affirmations. People who have used positive affirmations have always known that they work, but they have rarely understood exactly why. Now, with more and more research, we are learning how the process works. Through positive affirmations, we can deliberately send forth constructive thoughtforms that will accumulate additional positive energy and return to us, bringing with them what we are affirming. The difference between a prayer and an affirmation is that in prayer we are usually humbly asking for something, and in an affirmation we are actually invoking God and our I AM Presence to command Universal Light substance to flow through us constructively to create whatever perfection it is that we are affirming. There is another very important reason why affirmations work. When we make a positive affirmation, we begin with the words I AM. These two words invoke our I AM Presence and connect us directly to our omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent Father-Mother God, All That Is. This all encompassing Presence of God is the Universal Source of All Life.Everything in the Universe is comprised of electronic Light substance vibrating at different frequencies with various densities. The words I AM reflect the all-encompassing Oneness of all Life. “I” represents Alpha, the beginning, “AM” represents Omega or the ending, meaning our Father-Mother God, the Universal Source of All Life, is the beginning and the ending of all that exists. When we invoke the Light of God by using the words I AM the Light automatically responds. It flows through our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings and obeys our affirmations. Affirmations are designed to help us begin reprogramming our negative thinking into positive thinking. The longer energy is accustomed to flowing through the brain in a particular pattern, the easier it is to just keep flowing in the same pattern. For instance, if we are used to being critical or judgmental of others, that is a pattern we have developed and the energy flows very easily into that groove of the brain. If we want to change that habit, we have to consciously begin developing a new groove through which this energy can flow. The more we withhold the energy from the negative, critical pattern and send it forth through the new constructive pattern, the sooner we will have changed the bad habit.When we first begin observing our behavioral responses, we are usually shocked and a little overwhelmed at how ingrained our trivial, petty patterns are, and it seems as though it will be a monumental task to overcome them. However, once you begin to consciously take control of your thoughts, words, actions, and feelings, the changes will take place much more quickly than you can envision at this time. Once you really develop the habit of positive thinking, the critical, petty, trivial things that so easily pop into your mind now will not be part of your consciousness.With positive affirmations, we form new constructive grooves in our thinking patterns. For this reason it is important to read your affirmations the first thing in the morning and the last thing before going to bed at night. The exercise in the morning will begin the constructive flow of energy through the brain and set your attitude for the new day.The exercise at night will help by drawing the positive affirmations into your subconscious mind; so, you can reprogram yourself while you sleep, as in sleep learning. Research is proving that what we think about at night before we go to sleep is carried into the subconscious mind, so it is a good idea to put your attention on something constructive. For heaven’s sake, don't watch the news just before going to sleep.

Transfiguration into the Christ Self
~ Lighting Up Emotional Glamour ~
March, 2009
Planetary Grid Transmissions
Unified Focus and Intention On-Going
As a collective, we are enduring a phase of spiritual transformation which can be referred to as "the great transfiguration". This is a process of initiation in which the human personality vehicle is preparing for eventual consummation by the flames of the Soul resulting in one, very radiant conscious light expressing.
This has been similarly portrayed in the life of Jesus Christ especially the experience in the desert when he underwent his final and most enduring temptations of the Soul. It was after this time that he majestically appeared to his closest disciples at the Mount of Transfiguration, as a most glorious revelation of divinity. This story exemplifies the actual completion of this initiation of "the transfiguration". It was then that Jesus, the so called, "God-Man", began his outward mission as a world teacher.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient classic text and the sacred teachings of many Masters of the Himalayas, details step by step, the laws, methods and means of the Soul's unfoldment and describes it as "the science of union". Even though we may be doing it a bit differently in these times, these references gift quite valuable insight for greater understanding into our current undertakings.
We are continuing to endure the clearings of illusion and those which directly affect the human personality, comprised of the physical, emotional and mind faculties. The speed, duration and intensity of this phase varies from person to person as in all experience. There comes a moment, however, when one is finally ready to enter through these initiatory gates. The foggy veil finally lifts, and, in clear view, the mesmoratic influences of life's current illusions are deeply realized. This is often a most challenging time of quite humbling revelation. This is also a moment of tremendous rejoicing as it indicates the preparatory phases into an entirely new life of the human expression.
No matter how devoted, sincere or the number of years on the Path, most everyone has remaining personality aspects that are clothed in illusion, especially that of emotional glamour. Our current aim of development is to bring the desirous personality vehicle under complete control so that the Soul, (the intermediary aspect and place of union between the higher and lower aspects of divinity), may assume full Presence as both the inner and outer light expressing.
Emotional Glamour Defined
Glamour is essentially emotion driven desire colorizing itself on an illusory screen through the lens of the conditioned human personality. These illusory forms enliven our lives, sometimes with ecstatic sensations, however, produce limiting consciousness patterns which outplay in fantasized realities, false values, misleading desires, distorted perceptions and many needless necessities. Some of the most tenacious glamours are so deeply embedded that they are not even recognized or thought of as hindrances to greater revelations in consciousness.
The condition of glamour is an inherent component of our make-up stemming from ancient astral patterns and age-long personality desires. For those in resonance to past histories and according to the writings of the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Kul, the glamorized emotional body was brought to a high point in the Atlantean civilization. He quotes that much of this imprinting has been carried over into our current race. Esoteric philosophies also attribute the world problem of glamour to the idea that the planet has been under the influence of the "Sixth Ray of Devotion and Idealism" for the last 2000 years and during the controlling Age of Pieces. We can certainly understand why the world is in such turmoil from this one, exaggerated condition alone.
Spiritual Glamour and Discernment
One of our greatest challenges, and, as we are opening into expanded levels of extra sensory perception is to distinguish between Divine Wisdom derived from an illumined consciousness versus that of astral psychism. Astral psychism can simply be defined, in this context, as messaging derived from a false plane of emotional based substance. What we may intuit as divine messaging or a clear vision is oftentimes an astral reflection which is always clothed with distortion. This common and quite innocent type of misinterpretation comes as a result of one's polarization swinging more to the emotional nature versus a steady centering in the Soul.
The quickening of incoming planetary energies and the resultant opening of our psychic natures has created a plethora of information on the current shifting of times with many interpretations of, so called, "cosmic truth" emerging forth. Our continuous reflection upon many of the new age expressions is absolutely necessary to guard against misleading directions and the creation of emotion based fantasized realities.
It is also an important reminder that the activity associated with channeling outside energies is information that is being received and filtered through the veil of human personality. If there are any existing personality limitations of the receiver, there is most assuredly a degree of distortion to the message. There is no need to channel entities once the ability to divinely receive from one's own illuminated consciousness is developed.
We are in a process of great self refinement and the final breaking through of the spells of illusion. May we all continue to proceed with constant questioning, in wisdom and with the great light of discernment applied to all information to insure that we are not accepting a message as true just because it is beautifully or intelligently expressed. This is how false mass mind concepts are created and energized.
Indeed, the most effective method of discrimination is to develop the powers of pure reason and intuition through the illumination of one's own developed consciousness. Herein lies the real message of discernment.
Identifying the Forms of Emotional Glamour
There are an infinite number of ways that emotions can be glamorized. These false formations can always be found where there is any degree of criticism, pride, emotional attachment, behaviors of separatism and a sense of superiority.
At the end of this writing is a summary of the more prevailing glamours that keep the personalities of the spiritually focused in a cloud of desire.
Ideas for Dissipating Glamour
It is much easier to clear a condition once it is identified and loosed from its foundation. The simplest way to identity these false formations is to ASK for the held illusions of consciousness to be revealed.
The effect of a well developed illumined mind, in continual conscious communion with the Soul, naturally dissolves these emotional conditionings. The development of concentration through meditation can train the mind to hold itself focused and steady in the light of the Soul. Meditation and concentration help train the mind to penetrate the ultimate reality leading to soul knowledge and illumination. They also help balance one's polarization from emotional into mental.
Relinquishing hold to the many ways in which we keep ourselves identified to the formed expression is an important part of the transition into Soul union. We are encouraged to continually observe all of the emotions, and especially, the motive behind desire. In daily life, and as the Buddha expressed so well, it is extremely beneficial to assume an attitude of the middle way which displays equanimity and divine indifference to all that crosses our path, inwardly and outwardly.
Perhaps the most important encouragement of all is to continuing building and strengthening a consciously pulsating and intimate relationship between you and your Soul ~ also referred to as the Christ Self, the Atman and the pure love aspect of our being. May your Soul be the most influential guiding force in your life.
In Closing ~
When the physical body is pure and in poise, when the emotional body is neutral and stable and when the mind faculty is steady and controlled, our daily consciousness can then make its next evolutionary transition. Our sensitivities and receptivity naturally expands to receive continual impressions from the Soul and through the unmistakable wisdom of our own intuition.
This process of transfiguration also firmly establishes the true power of group influence while elevating the collective into a field of consciousness which accesses the greater wisdoms of divinity. It is this transition that optimizes the human potential to most effectively, safely wield and wisely use an illuminated consciousness in service to the planet and Humanity.
The pure love of our Soul, the indwelling Christ Self, and that of the supporting universal energy is not personalized. It is all consciousness which resides in the Field of One, an energy field of selflessness and selfless service to the Whole. There is no self reference. There is no seeking of recognition.
During this time of new moon, we gather in this Field of One. We are asking our the love of our Soul to reveal the hidden illusions of our individuated consciousness. We also connect with each other with unified intention towards collective liberation from these limiting formations, especially that of emotional glamour. We shine our Christ Light upon each other and then radiate this force of love to the hearts and minds of all Humanity.
Many blessings from the guiding light of the Soul,
