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.)

Live Life!

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,
