In the world, this week has been a tough one. The fear and anxiety in our nation.
In contrast, my life is becoming more of a reflective series of synchronicity and miracles. We had the presidential debates at the start of the week which had everyone very wound up (and was a draw with both sides proclaiming themselves the winner). Sadly, I feel that there was a lack of compassion with both candidates. Neither of them told the people in the different cities that are being torn apart with racial issues or that have been harmed by Terrorists...instead they used those examples against each other showing no compassion for the people in those towns. Of course, there was another police shooting of a black person that ended up in the news. The facts about that person are being ignored, that he was a refugee immigrant that the government tried to deport to his own country would not take back, the fact that he had a long criminal record, and that he clearly took a stance implying he had a weapon that he pointed at the police officer. The lack of compassion for police officers and the danger they put themselves in every day is sickening. Our nation is experiencing polarization, I could see this coming at the end of last year based on our movies. Batman vs. Superman. Captain America Civil War. People taking sides and battling out each other for no real reason. I had a dream that the emotional water of life was being polluted. I with a few other people took up places on black boulders in the ocean where we played our song to counter this flow of poison. The media continues to try to categorize and label human behavior in defiance of what psychology states that there are too many diverse people with too many experiences with too many different reactions to assign labels or categorize human behavior. This blog is one of the ways that I defy the emotional pollution that is the current media portrayal of the United States. So, today, I'm going to share the big lessons that I learned about the Law of Attraction. Being of Service I'm going to be blunt...if you don't dedicate yourself to service to others the Law of Attraction probably won't kick into high gear for you. You might find little things such as a parking spot near the front of a store that you are going to shop at...but the big changes won't happen. For me this is huge, and I don't see it included anywhere when it comes to the law of attraction. The reason that being of service is so important has to do with the multi-faceted system that we exist within. The creator- All-That-Is- is within every molecule and atom in this universe. Everyone and everything is a part of the Creator. Naturally, the Creator can't hate himself. Naturally, he wants all of his creations to continue to exist and love one another. Just as a mother or father wants to see all of their children get along...the Creator does not want to see any of its creations turning on each other to destroy one another. To really align with the nature of the Creator/God/All-That-IS...we have to dedicate ourselves to service to others. This is because by serving others we are in tune and alignment with God/The Creator/All-That-Is. The phrase in the Lord's Prayer says it perfectly, "Thy will (not mine) be done..." We have to put our warped desire to create on our own aside. We have humble ourselves before the Creator realizing that the Creations of the Creator/Great Spirit are perfect. This opens the channel for God/The Creator/All-That-IS to act in our lives...we move over so he can shower his love and abundance on us. At the end of the day the Creator of all...that is all...doesn't want us to suffer. Yet, we have to submit that we are not as good as creating as the Creator and release control over to God/The Creator/All-That-IS. We do this by being of service to others and to the Creator/All-That-IS. Here is a little prayer I said: "Creator, please let me be a vessel through which your divine light may shine for others. I submit to you, knowing that you have the divine plan that I cannot see just as I do not know how many hairs are upon my head. You, Great Spirit, do know and I only wish that others come to know you through me so they may learn that they too can find peace." Let Go of The Outcome This is an extension of the last part...once we submit we have to let go of the outcome. This is so important because sometimes God will bring something far better into our lives when we let go. Yet, it is up to us to release the pain and expectations born of experience that we have carried in our hearts. As long as we carry that pain and those expectations into the future we will only continue to create the same outcome that we have experienced. We set the intention, "I would like X, Y and Z." Then we let go of the actual outcome. We are just putting our little prayer out there and then leaving the rest up to God. Then God, in infinite wisdom, knows that we are in a state of acceptance. Sure, sometimes what we specifically asked for doesn't happen....but when we release all expectations of the outcome...something better shows up. I sat down when I was done with all of my ex's and wrote a wish list for what I was looking for in a guy. Down to eye color. I'm not kidding on this one...there were over a hundred things I listed. Then I burnt it...I consider it a prayer and a wish that I offered up to God and that once it was done...if it happened it happened...and if it didn't it didn't...but I'd put that energetic state of anticipation out there. That's when I met Ross. He fulfills many of the qualities in that list...and some flaws that were definitely not on that list. However, he far surpassed any expectation I had for myself and had I not been in place where I was confident in being alone I probably would not have attracted him. I knew, however, that I had placed my order with the universe and I was confident that The Creator would provide. I know now that was a form of manifestation, but at the same time I didn't it all naturally. This is a natural process. What You Resist Persists This has been a hard one for me. Bashar says that all the things that are good that we want are trying to come to us but that we keep them away. All of things that don't serve us are trying to get away but we won't let them go. There is always a reason, some sort of way that a belief is serving us if we cannot let it go. Sometimes, for example when there is a change coming, it is out of a false sense of security that we hold onto limiting beliefs. I've had this huge thing with resisting fear, resisting feeling fear, or admitting when I'm scared or heeding what that might mean. I explained this in my previous blog. What I did was create a cycle. Things would get to a point where they were really really good. That's when I would start being afraid that things were going to fall apart. Then, sure enough just as I feared, something would come along and my entire life was torn apart again. This was symbolized in a dream one night, where a dragon (Fear) came to tear apart my life (albeit the life was in a virtual reality simulator so I wasn't really scared of it)...but instead of waiting for the destruction I went out to meet the dragon, he turned into a human and we had a discussion. Just realizing that I hold onto certain fears associated with the future, another pregnancy loss for example, and that based on my experience I cast those fears as expectations onto that future experience... leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy (a concept scientifically proven to exist in psychology)...has been wonderfully eye opening. I realize, those fears of the past are not something I want to project onto my future. I am starting to have that glimmer of hope in my heart again...and trust in the Infinite that what is meant to be will be through the hand of the Creator. As soon as you turn to face these fears...they dissolve and there is an expansive freedom. I realize, that I have been keeping that idea at bay...that it is my fear, because I experienced such tremendous pain in the past, that has kept me from moving forward. Now, I have been able to open my heart to the infinite possibilities that exist in that realm as I release the need to regulate and restrict by my past experiences. Fake it Until You Make It Now this one is a bit fascinating. A lot of people make manifestation a thinking activity. They say you first have to set an intention. They make boards of all of the things they want, they cut out images from magazines of what they want and they put them up on the boards. I heard one guy put a house up on his and then was amazed when he actually moved into that exact house many years later. He only meant to live in a similar house when he put it up on his board because as far as he knew the occupants of that house had been happy. He hadn't realized he moved into that exact house until he'd emptied out a box and sat in stunned silence at how amazing...and unintentional it had been...just a series of mistakes and coincidences that lead to him living in that house. Yet, sometimes it's hard to be in that receiving state. If we are in a low energy state where we are shutting out the rest of the world (I call it turtle mode) it is very hard to get back into the expansive mode of receptivity. What I've discovered is that you can fake it until you make it. When someone asks you how your day is...state that it's fantastic. Even if you're feeling terrible on the inside for some strange reason that you can't even identify...say that you're fantastic. Just by sending out that intention, in this subtle way, into the Universe the world transforms and begins to reflect back to you this idea. People react far more positively to people who say they are fantastic...than to those who start listing all of the woes and injustices that they have experienced. Then one day, without realizing the shift...you'll realize that your life is fantastic, that you are doing fantastic...and boom you're in that receptive expansive state of consciousness where the universe just starts flooding you with goodies. So, if you don't think you can get into that positive state...Fake it until you make it my friend. Don't let doubt enter (that little snake likes to block your goodies) but say this is my reality, this is my experience...and it will be... (Of course, on a side note, if you say your reality is something bad- like nothing you do can ever go right, and you keep saying that to yourself and everyone that will listen...guess what!? That's going to become your life! So be mindful of your thoughts and definitions!) Synchronicity Amazingly, as I go through this lesson regarding Manifestation, I am not alone. I have a friend named Courtney who is also experiencing these events. In her life, she went in for a massage and ended up receiving information about the Law of Attraction. Specifically, this person told her to watch the movie The Secret. Not long after she went to Disneyland with her best friend and he too told her about the Law of Attraction! Talk about a message from the infinite! She had no idea that I had been talking about Manifestation at the start of this week...I hadn't sent her that blog...but somehow we were in perfect tune with one another. A few moments after she left because her shift was over a customer came up and we were talking about being positive. The next thing I know we're talking about the book The Secret and I told her about Courtney and that the Movie is on Netflix. What really got me, and I mean just made my mind explode, is that book and that movie came out over ten years ago. I remember my favorite Starbucks manager Wayne Newmark giving it to me to read...and I've watched the movie many times. *SO* many people are waking up right now. Even as it seems the darkest elements, those who choose the Darkness are becoming stronger and that they might wipe out the light...it's simply not true! The Darkness is just simply more noisy and attention getting than the light! The LIGHT is on the rise! You can't see it on the news but talking to people day to day *it is* HAPPENING! The Great Gathering of the Eagle and Condor prophecy is happening with the Dakota pipeline- From Native Hawaiians to Mayans- they are all gathering to protect Mother Earth! The media is not covering it at all! Conclusion We may not realize it but we are living in a very important time. What we align with mentally...whether it is the Law of Attraction and Positive Thinking that I'm reporting in my own life...or the media reports of such negativity... We are making a choice this year. I'm choosing to align with the light, submit and dedicate my life to being a reflection of All-That-Is and letting go of the reigns...instead I'm just letting the cosmic energy of love that is the most basic element of creation move through my life cleansing me and carrying me to the next stage in my journey. No expectations. No limitations. Infinite possibility lies before me. Plus, since it's been mentioned so much I'm going to watch the Secret on Netflix. I will include on here one of my favorite sections of a Documentary called Tuning In that I watched years ago that covers the Law of Attraction. It is strange that I've been working with these ideas for 11 years...and it is just now clicking.

I've written about Manifestation in the past but I want to share the incredible story that has been unfolding in the recent days. I've been paying particularly close attention to my dreams. Last night I had a pretty powerful one. The messages are clear.
Yesterday, things just didn't seem to go right and last week totally felt that way. Things just seem to be a little off. They are not entirely bad but they aren't unfolding in a smooth fashion. For example, a customer went to put a straw into his cup as we were talking about hi re-tiling his house and the straw pierced the side of the cup. This caused quite a mess and I've never seen that happen before! Later, a plastic trash bag that was double bagged broke open as I was lifting it out of the trash can. I moved a vase that held my bamboo plant and it broke sending water gushing everywhere! Little things, minor occurrences but when they are added up can leave me feeling frustrated. Dragging Along The Past Repeatedly, in my dreams there has been a message of carrying around things from the past. In one dream, my husband and I were somewhere when I went to get the bags we had brought. I started shoving stuff in, some that was not even mine, and he asked me, "Why are we taking all of this stuff with us? Is this really necessary?" In another dream, I was back in my Grandmas (my Great Grandma Emma and her daughter, my Grandma Alta used to live together in a house in San Bernardino) place but I was in their huge garage. Their garage used to hold the most wondrous goodies and treats that they would make every year for the group they were a part of The Order of Pocahontas. In truth, it was more of a workshop similar to Santa's Workshop then a garage for a kid like me. I could go in there and get different preserves they made or look at the Christmas goodies they were making or the Easter Baskets they used to create with toys and homemade sugar cookies. Only in my dream, I was only allowed to be there for a short period of time and I had to take all of the stuff I had made and left there. As I went to take stuff though, I realized I was destroying it and that it wasn't really like I was preserving the things I was taking. Overwhelmingly, for me, the message is not to carry my old burdens forward. I'm just not sure how to let some of the things that have happened to me go. Mostly, because they were traumatic events that I hope never happen to me again. I realize that a lot of it was not my fault, that it was the psychological issues within the other people, but it still leaves scars. Being Afraid of Fear The other thing that I realized from these dreams is that in the past I feared being afraid and showing fear. Every year, my husband and I go to Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt. The people in costume don't scare me nor do the mazes. I'm simply not easily scared. The times when I've really felt fear I powered through it. I realize now this is something I learned when I was a child through some very odd experiences. One being when my pet, a dog named Little Bear, died when I was about three or four years old. I was freaking out, and in total denial that he was dead. Someone had shot him and left him on the side of the road. My dad was digging a grave and put Little Bear's body down into it. He made me look in because he wanted me to stop crying and denying that Little Bear was dead. I didn't look at Bear's dead body but I learned that day not to freak out in traumatic situations but to bury the fear. Our society, as a whole, reflects this notion. The Damsel in Distress is looked down upon. The people who show fear are looked down upon. Even being emotional is looked down on because logic is more valued in our society. Yet, our emotions and fear play an important role in our lives. I can tell you from experience that bottling up fear and sadness can lead to terrible consequences. Fear is a very important tool. Fear tells us when something is wrong, that we should not trust someone or a situation. Fear has, no doubt, played an important role in our evolution. The sad fact is that in culture 'negative' emotions are repressed. Allowing myself to feel the fear, to thank it for it's wisdom when it comes up, and heed the caution that I know I need to proceed with has been very helpful. Suppressed emotions are really hard to control and I know that's what my panic attacks stemmed from. I have always felt as though I had to be the strong one and I didn't have time to actually feel the fear. I would run away from that emotion afraid that I might look weak. However, I've learned when I go out to meet fear on it's turf it becomes tamed. Instead of running away from it, turning towards it and embracing it is an effortless way to resolve those emotions. Conclusion The strange thing is that I know that these were my current lessons. I have learned how to deal with the fear portion and show my emotions of fear, anger or sadness in the moment instead of being the 'strong one.' However, letting go of the traumatic issues of the past...that ones a bit more tricky and I know that's what I'm working on. Letting go of old resentments. In a meditation I imagined all of the people I can't bring myself to forgive and for each of them I visualized giving Yeshua a coin that represented them. I realized it was a lot! Past issues, hang ups, and fears do not belong in my future. While this is what I'm currently meditating and working with it is proving to be a challenge. I know this is where I'm 'energetically' off and why little mistakes keep happening. Things breaking for no reason, HUGE tomato Hornworms trying to kill my garden, and other set backs that should have worked out but were clearly not for me. Yet, at the same time, something everyone else was very fearful of turned out to be the greatest blessing. Not only did the situation improve but incredibly...a lot of conflict resolved itself and just simply disappeared. I had heard that the people who were negative in our lives would just "go away," "move" or "be reassigned" and then just simply disappear from our lives....but two people I thought were really stuck in my life that caused a lot of heartache just went...poof! They're gone and I don't have to worry about them at all anymore. A situation of change most people would fear turned out to be a hugely bountiful blessing. So, in essence, I've seen manifestation work in my life. I've hit a wall, I think it was going too fast for me and there are two obstacles that I am fearing quite a bit coming up. I think that fear, based on experiences of the past, are what have me frozen on my life path and manifestation. I'm almost afraid to move forward with other things, so I'm putting parts of my life on hold, until these two things I'm resisting the most are resolved. An old saying goes, "What you resist is what persists." One of these events I've feared, when I don't go into turtle protection mode, has been rescheduled twice. The universe almost seems to be saying, "Oh, you're not worried and focused on this? Well! You don't have to experience it then!" Anyhow, tonight I know a lot of people are going to be wrapped up in the Presidential Debate. I'm going to be wrapping Christmas Presents while listening to Christmas music...and planning my Halloween graveyard display for the yard (I bought glow in the dark skeleton arms that I might modify!). Come what may with this Election...change is in the air and I will embrace it...Resistance...after all, will only cause what you fear most to persist. We've all come across people who are going through a Dark Night of the Soul. The level of what they are experiencing can be a broad range of terrible tragedies. The one common factor is that their life is left in shambles. They question their very existence and even their reality.
For some, a small issue such as their car breaking down might throw a wrench in their lives causing them to have a breakdown. Sometimes it's facing the void of ending a relationship. Sometimes it's the death of a family member. Yet, we have the choice to remain in that powerless victim state or we can rise from the ashes of our lives to create something new and better than we can imagine. I believe that Spirit reduces our lives to ashes regurarly when we ignore wake up calls because Spirit knows there is something better and greater then we can imagine awaiting us. We just get stuck in our comfortable ways, I call it the Unpleasant but Predictable Familiar that we can predict instead of facing the unknown. So, God, knowing that something better is out there, tears down all that we have built up to make way for something new. Not out of spitefulness, not out of negativity, but out of the deepest form of love. The Silver Lining When in the darkest of night people will try to point out the silver lining. "Yes," they say to you, "but focus on what you do have." I don't think that this is the best approach. When bad things happen to us, it is our job to have that experience fully. Some people take a long time to recover from mourning. For example, in my case it took me two years to fully recover from the loss of my daughter. Bureaucracy says I only had six months, but three months is preferential. Telling me to look on the bright side was not an option. There is no bright side to the loss of an infant. Let alone watching her struggle to live in an incubator. Every time they opened it to give her a test or to insert a needle her vital signs would drop and she would writhe in pain. For me it was pure torture. For nights I had dreams that I was back in that room watching her suffer trying to find a way to prevent it from happening. Clearly those thinking there was as bright side to the situation was out of touch with my reality. So, the idea of being thankful for what I have fell on deaf ears and I muddled through the darkness. Lost, and seeking some sort of way to make the pain I was experiencing stop. What I wish someone had told me is what I have told people going through terrible experiences since then. "You don't see it now, but this, which you think is such a weakness- the pain that you are seeking to escape- can be the ultimate form of empowerment when you embrace it. Maybe, you are experiencing this so you can help other people who are suffering like you." Everyone Fails, Hurts, Fears In a previous post I covered a meditation I had on people being addicted to darkness and suffering. The Soul might come to this planet to experience a range of emotions and situations. Suffering might be the one you desired to experience in this life time. I truly believe that we choose the life we are going to live before incarnating. We choose our parents. We choose the varied situations. We choose certain weaknesses to overcome, or choose lives where we experience bad things that we had (perhaps unintentionally) inflicted on others in previous lives. We come here to learn. In our current culture we want to surround everyone with a plastic bubble wrap: No one should have to fear, people say. No one should hurt. No one should be uncomfortable. Everyone should have the same exact opportunities, lives and possessions. Sure, no one actively seeks pain in life...but strangely our souls came here for a wide range of experiences. We came here exactly because this realm can experience pain on such a level, that we can be hurt, that we can experience fear, doubt, that we can struggle and experience the sense of separation from the Creator. By trying to protect people from some of the most humbling human experiences... we actually harm society and work against Spirit. We cripple them by telling them they 'deserve' certain things instead of telling them how earn things. Yet, this philosophy that life should not be painful, that we shouldn't fail, that we shouldn't hurt, we shouldn't face adversity...that we have a right to a life free of the most basic human experiences just because of the country we live in is harmful psychologically. Those who suffer, who hurt, who fear...think that their state of being is unnatural. We fight against it, hating ourselves for having the experience as though it somehow makes us weak or less than others. When it is the natural state of humanity. Pain, fear, and suffering contains one of the greatest gifts. Within that Dark Night of the Soul we have the largest opportunity for change. Embracing The Pain Fear serves as a fantastic catalyst when a person doesn't listen to Spirit. Every person has come to this Earth for a reason, they have something to offer everyone else who has come here. Each person just has to find the alignment with the purpose that the Creator put them on this planet. That doesn't mean the person has to have a certain career. Sometimes it is as simple as sharing your own personal truth with others (such as I do in this blog). There is no right way, no one way, no one gift they can offer everyone else and there are thousands of methods to share that gift. Every vocation can be perceived as filling that gift as well. All that matters is a person is sharing and growing freely. For me, the Highest Purpose, a person can have is to serve as a beacon of hope to others. No matter what type of situation a person finds themselves in they are not the only ones who experienced it. Often times, hundreds, thousands or even millions have had that same experience. Yet, we don't share the story of our darkest nights with people. Usually, it becomes the family secret that is whispered during family get together's or funerals. For example, we don't go up to a woman and ask them how many miscarriages they had before they had their child. That's just not common practice but it is a very common for a woman to have at least one miscarriage. Yet, there are very few books or movies out there covering that story. There are thousands of untold stories where people have overcome their Dark Night of the Soul that we never hear about. I came across a book called Faithful by Christine Weisman when I lost my daughter. That woman embraced what she had experienced and she created something magical out of it that can help other people. If more people put their hearts into helping others when they experienced something terrible...to let others know they are not alone...this world would be a far psychologically healthier place. People wouldn't feel so alone. They would know that someone else had navigated their way out of that Dark Night and then forge their own path into the unknown. Instead, we tend to bury the darker stories in our lives... instead of embracing and transforming that pain into hope for others. We focus on love stories as though falling love with someone will solve all of our problems (I guarantee you that it doesn't) or we think that overcoming obstacles in our career will solve all of our problems (again it doesn't). There are a million things we think we need that will give us that edge everyone else has that makes them healthy, happy and whole...that allowed them to buy a house in a safe neighborhood where as we are living in an apartment...but guess what...that "thing" Doesn't Exist. Everything we need to obtain those feelings are within us...looking outside to others or to inanimate objects to fill that void is not going to work. Resist The Labels In our society it is so easy to put a label on ourselves. When I was younger I was labeled as Dyslexic. I switch numbers (not often letters) and words. Where others might see 1234, I would see 2314. When using the numbers that I had written down on the page...the work was correct. The problem was that I transcribed the numbers from the page of the book to my homework wrong. Because of this I was punished and held back in my math classes. I could have accepted the title of dyslexic. I could have accepted the crutch that the schools gave me with Special Education classes. Yet, no one told me I wasn't supposed to be able to read. So I read, read and read...and actually tested into Advanced English classes. If I had simply accepted the supposed limitations that a Dyslexic person is supposed to experience I would never have written this blog. Too often people accept the labels that are given to them and act accordingly. I reject all labels. I do not act according to the expectations of any label anyone tries to give me. I am simply human...nothing more. I am a mixed blood, I do not fit in with any "race". So I reject all racial titles, after all, science has proven that beneath the skin we are all the same. Labels...too often...become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Once a person is given a label we are expected to behave a certain way. A dyslexic person is not supposed to ever live up to very much. They are channeled into community colleges and told they have a limited option on jobs. They are not supposed to write blogs, write books, become a published writer, exceed in their careers, and they certainly not supposed to earn a Masters Degree. Yet, I achieved all of those things. Never accept a label, ever, please. Don't punish other people for labeling you either, that just shows that they limit themselves that way, and they should be duly ignored. Being A Light To Others Every time we find ourselves in darkness we should look at it as a blessing...an opportunity to learn and help others. Once we find a way to navigate that Dark Moment...we can then reach out to other people and say, "Here, there is hope, there is light and there is a way! If I can do this so can you." The only way to truly do this is to dedicate yourself to the service of others. Which is one of the most noble acts we can under take. Only when we are in service do these situations become blessings because then we realize... "Oh! I have learned so that I might help and uplift others who are suffering!" Be A Phoenix These situations where our lives fall apart, especially when we are self serving, can seem so depressing. We might have to start our lives over from scratch. Yet, the most beautiful thing is that with change there is always unlimited opportunity. When you have a blank page you can draw whatever you wish. Our lives, when turned to issues, is like that blank page. Our minds are the person drawing the picture. If our minds are filled with darkness and we are drawing in depression or the negative...then the images we create will be negative. We will perceive the world as a dark and negative place. We must be very careful what we take in, what type of information we take in and the type of people that we are spending our time with...because that is the food for our mind. At the end of the day we can only affect the page that is before us. We choose what we draw in our lives. I may look at my neighbors page and see that they have more or less or decide by the images on their page that they threaten me in some way...yet, that does not matter because I don't have to place that on my blank page. I don't have to accept them into my life in any way shape or form. Yet, sometimes challenges come, Dark Nights of the Soul arrive, and in that darkness we can find the spark of something divine...the hope...the opportunity to help and serve others in some small way. Then we are transformed, rising from the ashes that destroyed us...as a Phoenix. The Phoenix has long been the symbol of hope and rebirth to people around the world. Often it is depicted as being on fire, because its from the embers of it's previous life that it arises...and it shines forth that light so others may do the same. Reject labels, reject seeing yourself as a victim...and choose to be a Phoenix! Since I mentioned my experience with Aswana in my Past Life memories I wanted to share my views when it comes to Spirit Guides and the Higher Self. There is some confusion when it comes to Spirit Guides and contacting the Higher Self.
There is a large majority of people that believe that any entity that is not incarnated is automatically evil and a 'demon.' This is part of that dense negative 'literal' mindset of the Dark Ages when even dreams were considered evil. I dismiss that idea and argument out of hand. The more scientific skeptics would say these people are merely interacting with a part of their own consciousness. When you consider the all of creation is a single consciousnesses (the consciousnesses of creation has many layers) this is not entirely untrue. The idea that it is a false figment of the imagination or fantasy, however, I dismiss completely. Even if a Guide or Higherself is a part of our subconscious mind it is still a valid aspect of ourselves. All of this is purely based on my own experience although I have had it validated by concepts other people have talked about. Specifically, Jamie Sams and Bashar have validated conclusions that I came to prior to encountering their material. Proper Intentions First, and foremost, we have to examine why we are trying to gain information. Why are we seeking Spirit Guides in the first place? If someone is reaching out to Spirit Guides for the purpose of self-glorification or to dominate others it is not going to end well. This will lead, at the very least, to an imbalanced experience where information can be misunderstood and very possibly cause a mischievous Spirit to respond. If we seek spirit guides out of some conception of being powerless it can go awry. That is why people who are in a state of crises or acting in a sense of powerlessness should go to a medium or psychic to work out these issues and to get closure with a loved one that has crossed over. I don't think they should attempt it on their own. Even when we are traveling through the spirit world like attracts like. If we are in a negative state of mind we will attract a negative experience (and likely equally negative spirit/entity). If we are in a positive state of mind we are more likely to attract a positive entity or spirit to interact with us. I personally never felt the need to reach out to a spiritual guide. A lot of spiritual or metaphysical teachers seem to feel this is an important step. I don't believe that it is and that there is too much opportunity, especially if a person is in crises psychological and emotionally, that a mischievous entity will respond. In the Native American tradition, I would say that this is like asking Coyote, the Trickster, to come and play. You can't quite trust a Trickster spirit and so we cannot blindly believe or follow the advice of just any incorporal spirit. Guides Are Our Equals My experience with Guides in spirit is that they are our equals. Aswana was the most powerful interaction that I have had with a 'spirit guide.' One of the main lessons I learned with Aswana is that we were equals. For whatever reason she did not choose to incarnate in this lifetime. So, she popped up at pivotal points in my life. Often, she did show up uninvited when I was in crisis. Some of my most poignant dreams had Aswana in them. However, I was not able to really be clear in receiving her messages until I did a lot of personal work. Prior to my last moment of crisis when Aswana really came through to offer me encouragement ethrough them I had dealt with a lot of my own issues. I had worked through a lot of feelings and emotions that I had disowned. This work, prior to being in crisis, allowed me to experience dreams where the messages come through more clearly. Prior to that I might have blocked or projected meanings onto certain images and I was not very open to communication. I know that Aswana is a positive being because the dreams with her in them are always uplifting. As I described in my past life blog, she and I were in a previous life together. So, she may be someone from my soul group helping me in this life. She offers guidance, simply in the form of understanding a situation and she never tells me what to do. Instead, she helps me gain perspective. These are all of the aspects I would expect out of a positive Spirit Guide. Just as with spiritual teachers the experience should always be uplifting. The Higher Self The Higher Self is a concept that is also bandied around quite a bit in metaphysical and spiritual circles. The idea, as far as I know, originated with Buddhist teachings. The Higher Self, I have come to believe, is the aspect of ourselves that remains in spirit. I believe it is often the opposite sex than that which we incarnate on Earth, although Spirit is not naturally dualistic, but we do take on and reflect our experiences that we have in the material world in the spiritual world. A Soul may represent itself primarily as male or female even though they are known to express themselves in both forms. Either way, when we are reaching out to and accessing the Higher Self we are reaching out to the portion of ourselves that is not incarnate. This portion has the Eagle point of view of our life. That aspect is able to see clearly when we are coming up on a pot hole and it does try to give us warnings in the form of intuition to guide us to where we really want to go. Bashar has a marvelous description of the Higher Self and actually encourages people to reach out to that aspect of themselves as opposed to Spirit Guides. However, the Higher Self is not meant to control our lives, it can give us hints and nudges towards the direction we want to go but no more. An argument could be mind that the Higher Self is no more than a construct of our consciousnesses, perhaps the Super-Consciousness, and that is why when we can contact that portion of ourselves that has an Eagle Point of View. The Higher Self is like an eagle flying above the river of our lives. The Eagle can see the tributaries, the water falls, and the rocky parts. So, more or less the Higher Self can give us perspective. I have met my Higher Self in a personified form in a dream. While it conveyed a great deal of meaning and comfort to me in this realm it did not affect my day to day living very much. Although, it did, again, give me a great deal of perspective in my own life and the approach I can take in daily tasks. I also got a received a key to understanding certain meanings in my own dreams. I have discussed this before but my Higher Self sees the experience of a life on Earth as equal to a visit to Disneyland. Every new experience that I embark on are "rides". That's why I know when I have a Disneyland Dream it is describing the next 'ride' I'm about to embark on. Certain elements of that dream can give me and indication of what to expect. Usually, I don't actually get on the ride. I may be in line for the ride and know what the 'ride' is and so in a way the dreams are prophetic but they don't give away the content of the experience before I get to have it! Conclusion I highly do not recommend going outside of oneself for spiritual information. I do not recommend reaching out to 'guides' because that invites mischievous spirits to answers. Actual guides will intervene when necessary in very non-intrusive ways and usually in an uplifting experience. There is no hard or fast rule that requires you to meet a guide to gain spiritual wisdom. I have not, other than gaining a different perspective in a difficult time, received any indication that Guides are meant to influence or 'give us' power of some sort. Any spirit claiming to be a Guide that also claims that can give you a 'power' of some sort is false and should be warded off (Sage helps drive off unwanted Spirit by manifesting a conscious choice in the physical world). Guides are non-material beings that choose to help us in our life journey but we alone must do the footwork. We alone can apply simple spiritual principals in our lives, so openly offered in many traditions, to see the results that we want. The Higher Self is also a sort of Guide. In this case, it is 100% our own consciousness. I believe that it is far more healthy to work with this aspect of ourselves to grow spiritually than relying on a Spirit Guide. Again, this working is very natural and very subtle. The purpose is not to gain power or prestige in the life we lead on Earth and to gain material wealth in a self-indulgent manner. As I said, Spirit finds very little value in self-indulgent behavior. In my own experience, it is grounding this incredibly powerful perspective of the Higher Self (not in a physically powerful sense but a powerful conscious/ psychological sense) into this reality that is helping to create a new world and awaken other people to their Innate Authentic Self. I have, in the past, felt my aura become altered when I enter this state of being and seen how just encountering my energy field has altered other peoples behavior. Sustaining that amount of energy for long periods of times, however, has proven difficult. Sometimes it becomes very unbalanced which causes all sorts of issues. Yet, I am finding that I am able to 'hold that frequency' or that frame of mind for longer periods of time and that it is more pleasurable. At first it felt entirely foreign and unnatural. As I have done the personal work to clear out old emotional and psychological wounds, not just from this life but from my previous lives as well, I am becoming a more 'clear' vessel for my Higher Self. In this way I can bring more and more of that pure divine consciousness into being on this level of reality. This, in turn, has led to a feeling of Wholeness. So, don't seek outside yourself. Don't look to any human or spirit as your 'master' or your better. We are all divine sparks of creation endowed with the gift of being creators and all of us possess the same knowledge of the Source/All That IS/ Great Spirit. Not all spirits have the incarnation experience, those who don't, including Angels, cannot really give us advice. We must learn to rely on our own inner intuitive knowing to grow because the answer is within us and not outside of us. I am writing this partly out of curiosity myself. Listening to Peter Woodbury who does past life regressions for Edgar Cacye's A.R.E. there might be a pattern to my past lives. That I may look at the past and see how the choice than might affect the choice I have made in this life.
Some call it working out Karma, that is the traditional belief of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. We are stuck in Samsara because something keeps ups here and that is usually Karma. The way that they describe it the experience of living int he flesh is almost detestable to our immortal spirits. I do not intend to insult any religion and I will say here that I absolutely have a deep and profound respect for the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Their dedication may well be examples of preserving an ancient way of thinking that dates back to the time of Atlantis. I take this interpretation of the experiment of Spirits experiencing the Human Sojurn being a negative thing and that we are 'trapped' in the material experience as being a negative point of view. Also, it is a limited point of view that came about from the period of humanity where we took all of the things that were spiritual as a literal. Humanity as a whole, when they took things literally as to be completely immersed in the experience of Separation. This illusion of Separation, as I have argued in my blogs about the Shift is something that exists in our consciousness. This is what we are coming out of as we remember that we are Spiritual Beings on A Sojurn of Being Human. My Earliest Life This past life recall was from a video regression by Brian Weiss. From what I can tell my earliest life was as a Egyptian in Jerusalem during the time of Yeshua. This is the shortest one that I can remember and it was as though I was actually there. I did not get full details about this life but it was like a direct snippet where I stepped out of this life and into that one. I didn't receive any information about my parents in that life or what type of position that I held. I looked down and I was amazed at how red my skin was! My skin was a very distinct red in a way that I haven't really seen anyone's skin be in real life. I've seen red tones but not this deep red color. I think I was a girl but I'm not certain. I was staring at my hands at amazement. I stood in a small alley way with what looked like walls of sun baked bricks on either side. I was small, I couldn't have been older than ten though I did not know exactly. I looked up to where two men were standing against the wall of a building across from this very narrow ally way I was in. One wore a white strange outfit that looked more like an over sized shirt and the other wore a blue one with what looked a bit like a large scarf around his neck that was also blue. The one in blue had come up to the one in white and was saying something in hushed tones. I think he was asking the man in white a question. The man in blue seemed antsy and uncertain as though checking with the other for direction. The man in white stopped the conversation with the man in blue abruptly as I looked up at him. He had striking bluish green eyes and very white skin for the region. I found myself thinking he must have a lot of Greek blood. I was struck with the realization this man was Yeshua. Then he locked eyes with me, and he seemed to see the me in this time and place that was looking through the Egyptian girls eyes. He silenced his questioning companion and moved as though to approach me. I pulled my consciousness out of that moment as swiftly as I could. Mostly, because I utterly did not want to see a vision of Yeshua. I did know a few other things, as though they were conveyed to me as I pulled back. One was that I had given this man a small doll, that was my most precious and worldly possession. The other thing that I remember is the way I died. I was stoned to death, I leaped off a cliff and broke my neck, because I had been disagreeing with people about what Yeshua had said and what he meant. I got the impression that as soon as he died there was a lot of misinformation and people who were exploiting him for their own benefit. I have not experienced a past life since this one. I was concerned that I had done too many, almost like an addiction, and the 'memories' or past lives were contaminated with my own consciousness in this life. However, I will admit that I never ever imagined Yeshua as being primarily of Greek descent. So, that was a concept very foreign to me and subsequent research has proven that there was a very large Greek presence in that area. Also, I don't think of Greeks as having blue eyes but brown so this was a complete surprise to me. Second Past Life I am not sure when this one takes place. I experienced this one in a dream at a turning point in my life. I was sitting in a tent of some sort with great swaths of fabric draping downward from the top of it. My father was training me to be a caravan leader. Leadership of the caravan had always passed from father to son (I was male in this life). I didn't want to be saddled with the obligations of being stuck with the caravan. The work was dirty and required a lot of monotonous work. I was smoking something from a hookah that I imagine must have been hallucinogenic. (At the time I didn't know what the name of smoking contraption was as it was not popular in 1999 when I had this dream and I have never been part of the drug scene so I have very little understanding of drugs or their history in the Middle East). Contemplating all of this I looked up and into a standing mirror across from me. I was horrified to see that my face was that of a male with dark brown skin, dark curly hair and dark brown eyes. I knew that I was somewhere in the sands of the Sahara. In that dream I gave into my carnal desires and the easy way. I went to the 'northern cities' where I engaged in prostitution and didn't really have any spiritual development. I was entirely immersed in the physical world. I was asked at the end of this dream by no specific entity, "Do you really want to do this again?" At the time I knew this was a past life. I recorded it in my journal but I didn't realize the relevance to my life. At that point I rebelled against my parents and moved out of their house which took me on a very bumpy road where I was distracted by materialism (video games) and ended up with an unpleasent wake up call. Third Past Life There was another one that I was shown when I was talking to my spirit guide at one point. I don't know where I was but I was practicing meditation and was a recluse. More or less like a Buddhist or Hindu monk. I achieved a lot of spiritual knowledge in that life but very little was shown to me. That was the life that I had shared with her and that was the reason I was shown images of that life. I don't think I'm working on anything from that life. Fourth Past Life Now this one was an in person regression with Kim Trottman. I am not certain if this came before or after my dream as the son of a caravan leader. I was a child in a an ally way filled with makeshift homes of homeless children. I had no memory of my parents only the reality of being an orphan. I saw the Crusaders at the end of the ally way. The sunlight glinted off their rounded helmets that had a piece of metal extending down to cover their noses. They wore chain mail with white tunics over them belted at the waste. I'm note sure what city it was but I was in Israel. They terrified me and I watched in horror as they cut down my friends. They were murdering orphan children without hesitating. I pressed back as far into the shadows of the ally way as I could to get away from them fearing that their swords would come down upon me and stayed as still as I could. Fast forward, I am no a part of some sort of group of women that is 'like the Catholic nun's but not nun's." They abstain from relationships with men. I baked the bread which seemed to have some sort of significance. I was a portly woman, with sagging cheeks and I wore a scarf over my hair. I was one of the 'sisters' of this covenant that appeared to be Christian. I was in what appeared to be a circular hut with a fire pit at the center. I smelled of smoke from the fire. I held a child as I stood in the doorway of this hut. The child was a little boy with blond haired and blue eyed. The child was not mine but an orphan, born of rape by a crusader to a woman of the city that was not far from where this little sect lived. The child had been abandoned by the mother who did not want anything to do with it. There was a famine and I knew that I could not feed the child. I knew the child would die and it broke my heart because there was nothing I could do. Fast forward again, I am dying. I lay on a table, I am eighty years old and very frail. Few people lived to that age and the woman, my sisters of this religious sect, surround me. They are giving me the equivalent of a sponge bath with deep reverence. I choose this moment to leave my body. Upon leaving my body Kim asks me if anyone meets me. I tell her no, I know the way home. Fifth Past Life This was from a Brian Weiss video regression. This one starts with me being married. I'm creating a top hat which will go on my husband in his casket. I am crying as I make the hat and contemplate that I will be a single mother. He has been killed in an accident between a motor car and a trolley. I'm in London England. I work at a place that makes fancy hats and I am a hat maker. My husband had worked at a printing press (Ross, my current husband in this life was in that life as well) and had been walking by foot on his way to work when he was pinned between the two machines and died. My impression was that the 'automobile' was rare and that the drive had lost control of an unruly machine (I get the impression that this is in the 1800's later I look up London and find they did indeed have automobiles in the 1890's, in fact early prototypes were being worked on as early as the 1860's which I did not know at the time and there might have been rare unique cars driving around London prior to that). Fast forward, I am dying alone in great pain and I am not very old. I think of my ungrateful daughter, who I have sacrificed much for and who is not even taking care of me on my death bed. She is too concerned with her young children and husband to care about me and I know she holds a great deal of resentment for me because I was a very authoritarian mother. I feel a great deal of regret and loneliness as it seems that while I have been materially successful I died alone of a fever in bed. My Sixth Life This one was an in person past life Regression. I am a child sitting at a table that holds some sort of gambling game. The table is of green felt. The men around me are smoking cigars. I'm in a pretty little dress and sitting on my fathers knee. He adores me. Then men around me are 'uncles' and they are talking about 'business' that I know somehow is not official...more like the mob. My name is Anna. I see my mother as a weak woman that I detest who is always wringing her hands in worry. She worries about me and my fathers 'business' dealings. I am very much a daddy's girl. Flash forward, I am at a warehouse and no more than thirteen. There is a group of men and they are discussing intercepting a shipment at the dock. Obviously, they are a group of young men who are stealing something. They are going over plans. Among them is my pseudo boyfriend. We spend time in 'closets drinking liquor.' I am a teenager and this must be during prohibition. I know that I have been forbidden by my father from being with this men that the other people call "Peacock" because he likes to dress in a white suit which stands out in what is otherwise a middle class neighborhood and he's a 'pretty boy.' Other people resent him and look at him as powerful figure in the neighborhood were from. Flash forward again, now I'm on the docks. The boys are getting the shipment of whatever it is that they are stealing. I am in a different part of the docks, told to stay back so that if anything does happen and they are caught I am safe. Yet, there is a young street urchin. I am aware of his feelings an motivations as he stabs me. He stabs me multiple times in the abdomen. He's doing this because it's a way to strike out at the Peacock indirectly, to put his ego in check, because this younger kid feels helpless and powerless. When I'm found by the group of boys I am bleeding out. They don't want to call the police in case they ask questions and connect them with the loot they stole. They choose the loot over my life. They hope they can get up and walk or that they can get me away from the dock and somewhere else but I pass out. Deciding that I am dead they throw me in the ocean. I wake up when I hit the water but I am too weak to swim. I drown. My spirit stays around the body that has washed up into the shallow part of water knocking into the dock upon which I died. The body is found. Photos are taken and evidence is collected. I have very pale white skin and short brunette hair. I stay around for my big lavish funeral. Conclusion There are a couple of conclusions or patterns I can see in these lives. First, I have a tendency towards rebellion. In both the caravan son's life and the prohibition life I rebelled against my parents (as I did in this life) and chose a life of what lawlessness and indulging in physical pleasures (drinking, drugs and apparent prostitution). I lead two lives of sacrifice with two very different results. In the one when I was in service to others I died surrounded by people who cared for me and in the other my own daughter was not there. The obvious difference is that in the life as a spiritual person I was giving to others while in the other I seemed to care only about meeting monetary needs in order to take care of myself and my daughter. Also, the death of a person in two lives (the baby in the life during the Crusades in Israel and the death of a husband in London) served as a catalyst. In one it made me realize the sacrifice I had made in choosing not to have a family when the baby died. In the other, it was the realization that I had to do things alone which lead to me being very bitter. I can see why Spirit would choose the contrast of the life as a woman that belonged to a Christian sect with the life of a rebellions teenager involved in crime. Obviously, there are two extremes here. The first is choosing to live a life of self-indulgence and obtaining material success. The other is a life of service to others which turned out to be more rewarding. The direct impression I get (as with these memories it is a series of impressions, feelings and generally simply 'knowing' how my soul felt about these experiences as opposed to no exposition) is that from my souls perspective the lives where I gave into self-indulgence and material wealth were disappointing. Very little spiritual growth were obtained in those lives, indeed in the London life my soul was very sad because there was so much focus on material survival that there was very little soul growth. So in three of the five lives I can recall (the first one I cannot recall much besides seeing Yeshua which shocked me back into the here and now) I did not do so well. The life that my soul was the most proud of his the least attractive of the lives from a person's stand point in the physical world. That was the life of the "Nun who was not a nun." In that one, I had dedicated my life to service to others and had very little possessions. However, I had recovered from what was a horrific childhood and instead of being bitter I was very giving. Another staggering aspect of these readings is that, at least in the last two lives, there was very little time in between them. I do not know when I died in the London life. Clearly, to be in my teens by the time of prohibition (1920-1933) there was not much time in between these lives. Usually, there is quite a bit of time between the lives of the soul. I can't remember where I got the information but at the start of incarnating there was usually about 50-100 years before a soul would incarnate again. However, according to this source I can't recall, in recent years, at least since the middle of the 1800's there have been souls reincarnating faster with very little time between lives. Sometimes just a span of a couple of years! Looking at these past lives I am humbled. I clearly chose challenging assignments in those lives. I had intentions as a soul for those lives (in the prohibition life I came out saying, "That wasn't supposed to happen!" when I was murdered as though my soul was completely taken by surprise and confused. In the Caravan's Son life I knew that my soul had hoped that I would choose to stay and become the leader of the Caravan as my father in that life wanted). I also have a sense for what the Soul considers valuable experiences as opposed to what here, in this plane of existence, we say is important. The soul doesn't really care about material possessions and the lives of service- either as the Israel Crusade life or that of a Caravan leader had I chosen the route my soul had hoped to take in that life- were of more value. The implications are vast. Maybe we are rebellious souls that decided to go a tough route in order to temper ourselves in the fire of human experience for our spiritual evolution. The emphasis that keeping to the laws, of service to others and honoring our elders, in particular seems to be behavior we want to portray when incarnated. For me, the experience is fascinating because in the 'mind set' of the soul which I glimpsed when surveying these past lives is so much more vast than that little bit of conscious energy that we put into our physical bodies. In fact, it seems surprised by the choices made while in physical form as though it has no idea that those choices would even be considered. Also, I received the definite impression that each life is planned but because of free will in the human form and that sense of separation even from our higher self those lives don't always go according to the plan that the soul made prior to incarnating. I strongly believe in the power of prayer. Although, I pray to the Source, All-That-Is, I know too that I pray for everyone on this planet. This is a prayer to our Collective Unconscious as much as it is to Source.
"Source, Great Mystery, All-That-Is, May you watch over and bless this work. May it reflect the light of the source to others so they might find illumination and their suffering may. May my words lift their worldly burdens that they have taken up and replace it with your will. May all of your children come together as One, realizing they are One in you and that what they do to their fellow man they do to themselves. Let there be no more war as the divisions fade. May everyone realize that to fight for self-interest and self-aggrandizement against the divine order that you have set forward only damages them. That when they seek for only themselves and harm others that it does not go unnoticed and they will have to pay the price in full. May they realize that serving the whole of humanity is truly service to you. All are equal in you, all are loved in you and all are valued. None can be damaged beyond your repair, no tear goes unwitnessed by you. May society find the responsibility that they have, may they start to change to reflect your divine will that none should be harmed, that profit should be set aside as a means to an end and not the emphasis of life. That all should seek your light, and that we may have peace on Earth and the end to this division that envelops us today. Amen
I have experienced a weird series of synchronistic bits of information and I decided since it is a timely subject to do a little bonus blog.
In The Sky Right Now Right now, from sun down to about 8pm if you go outside and you look to the west you will see two bright red stars and one that is a bit white in the night sky forming a triangle. Now, this intrigued me, I knew two of those were probably planets and one was Mars because of the red color. I had no idea what a second red star would be, however. Where I live with all of the light pollution it's very rare for me to notice any Star figures in the sky besides Orion's belt (my favorite and the most identifiable set of stars in a light polluted sky). I downloaded an app for my cellphone called Sky Map. I took my phone outside and held up the screen to the section of the sky and was shocked. The three stars forming the triangle are Saturn (the whitish star with the naked eye), Mars to the left and a star called Antares. Antares, it turns out, is called the Heart of the Scorpion as it lies in the astrological sign Scorpio. Further, Antares is also known as the Rival of Mars. Also, it's the 16th Brightest Star in the sky. I aimed my little phone upward a little bit more and I was shocked. Ophiuchus was just above Scorpio. The two planets, Saturn and Mars, were traveling right between these two constellations. I thought about that name, I've heard it a lot within the last month. I had just read an article about 13 astrological signs because the tilt of the Earth has changed since the Sumerians first picked out the 12 signs of the zodiac. Further, I had heard of it somewhere else... I was shocked when I realized it was in Graham Hancock's Magician's of the God's. Not only was I looking up into the heavens that a pillar at Gobekil Tepe showed...but I was also looking in the general vicinity of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. For me, in my light polluted sky, I was amazed. Now, I could look up every evening and know where the heart of our galaxy lies! How fun! Again, and again through different areas of interest I found my attention being drawn to Scorpio and Ophiuchus. So let's explore what I've come across. The 13th Sign of the Zodiac Everyone knows what their Zodiac symbol is but NASA came out in what appears to be a page for children on January 13th of this year (2016) and decided to tell everyone that the Zodiac has shifted and that there are now 13 astrological signs. Why someone at NASA thought they should come out and make an authoritative statement about the Zodiac, I'm not sure. There are so many claiming a conspiracy at NASA at first I did not believe it until I found the article :(http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/starfinder2/en/). Apparently, in 2012 there were people who were talking about this subject. So it's not really new. The article gives credit to the Babylonian's saying that originally they noted that there were 13 zodiac signs but elected to leave one out. They did so in favor of having a constellation assigned to each of their 12 Lunar months. However, because the earth's axis has wobbled and the pole now points in a different direction the entire zodiac has shifted. So, according to the website Spirit Science here is the zodiac as we see it now: (http://thespiritscience.net/) Capriconr: Jan 20 - Feb 16 Aquarius: Feb 16th- March 11 Pisces: March 11- April 18 Aries: April 18- May 13th Taurus: May 13- June 21 Gemini: June 21- July 20 Cancer: July 20- Aug 10 Leo: Aug 10- Sept. 16 Virgo: Sept 16 - Oct 30 Libra: Oct 30 - Nov 23 Scorpio: Nov 23 - 29 Ophiuchus: Nov 29 - Dec 17 Sagittarius: Dec 17- Jan 20 Clearly, as you can see Ophiuchus is the added constellation. Gobekli Tepe I read the articles by Spirit Science and NASA the day after I had held up my phone to view Saturn and Mars pass between Ophiuchus and Scorpio. I was stunned, there was that strange familiar constellation. Where had it heard it before? I have mentioned this before but there is a pillar at Gobekli Tepe, pillar 43, that might depict a specific alignment between the pillar and a portion of the heavens. Paul Burley submitted an article to Graham Hancocks website on the phenomenon. Basically, the pillar represents an eighty year window between 1960-2040. On December 21st the sun rests on the outstretched wing of the bird depicted in the pillar which is also in alignment with the galactic center. Yes, I know this is awfully reminiscent of 2012. As a matter of fact when reviewing all of this information about Ophiuchus and Scoprio that date showed up often. 2012 represents what might have been the central point of that 80 year period between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. In the pillar depiction is a series of three vultures, or birds, snakes and the scorpion. The birds, one a chick, one with wings outstretched and one depicted with a snake all coincide with shapes of the constellations in the area of the heavens where I was looking last night. This is all per Graham Hancock's Book Magicians of the Gods (pgs 321-323) The scorpion coincides with Scorpio but it's actually a small part of the constellation we know. The vulture with the outstretched wings coincides withe Saggitarius. The Vulture chick coincides with the head and claws of what we consider Scorpio today. Antares would actually be in this constellation. The bird with the snake coincides with Ophiuchus. An Pyramid Alignment I stumbled across this just today when watching a video on Ra-Ta, the Egypitian incarnation of Edgar Cacye. I didn't think the lecture I was watching on Youtube would have anything to do with this area in the sky. I will attach the video to the end of this post. Yet, strangely enough, this area depicting Ophiuchus and Scorpio is indicated during the time that Edgar Cacye says the Pyramid was built. There have been several authors (including Graham Hancock that have independently suggested the date of around 10,500 BC as the time when the Pyramid and Sphinx were built based on astronomical alignments). This exact area of the sky was also indicated by the Pyramid. On 12/21/10440 BC on the the Zenith and Nader axis. Yeah, I know the fact the December solstice was indicated again. Also, there is a connection with the three birds again when the Pyramid was built. In this case, a triangle was formed in the sky by three bird constellations. Those were Lyra (the hawk holding a lyre), Cygnus (swan) and Auilus (Eagle). They were directly above the pyramid as it was built. According to Edgar Cacye, the pyramid was to symbolize the involution of the spirit into flesh and evolution out of the flesh. The Pyramid contains a timeline that ends in 2038 and is a map for humanity, set in stone that could not be destroyed, as a testament to our purpose here on Earth. Here is that purpose in summary: "The premise put forth in the readings is that one of the ultimate goals in life is to somehow give expression to the souls individuality while we are in the Earth- thereby bringing Spirit into Earth. To this end each indivudal has the ability to manifest a unique vibration that somehow reflects the very image of the divine." pg 109 of Contemporary Cacye by Kevin Todeschi and Henry Reed. Scorpio Scorpio, the astrological sign that holds Antares, known as the Scorpion's Heart, is interesting. It's come up a few times in what I've read. First and foremost, as I mentioned, Scorpio is depicted as both a Scropion and as part of a vulture chick on the Gobekli Tepe Pillar. Astronomers refer to Scorpio as the Fish Hook. Yet, in Ancient Egypt it was most likely to represent the Heka-Staff or the Shepard's Crook. Both of these have significant meaning to the Egyptians. The Heka staff was one of the symbols of the Pharaoh. The Heka-Staff, basically, represents a spiritually awakened individual. More or less, according to John Van Auken, it represents someone with a fully functional Kundalini. The Kundalini is the energy that passes up the spine through the chakra's and it's known as the 'god force' of an individual. Also, we clearly associate the Shepard's Staff with both Moses and Yeshua (Jesus). Again, in both of these cases the suggestion is that this is a fully spiritually awakened individual. Ophiuchus Typically, Ophiuchus as a man holding a serpent by the head and tail (the snake is a constellation called Serpentarius). Strangely, the man is said to face opposite Orion. Which is true, because if you look up into the night sky to the right is Orion and to the left is Ophiuchus. The constellation is tied to several interesting Gods. The Greek's saw it as a man who learned the secret of immortality from snakes and so was struck dead by a lightening bolt before he could share it with the rest of humanity and placed among the stars. To the Sumerians it was the Annunaki God Enki which is fascinating in his own right as he was seen as one of two competing Gods for the Earth. He was the Lord of the Seas. His symbol was fish. The website Spirit Science connects Ophiuchus to Joseph in the bible (according to Edgar Cacye, interestingly enough, this was one of Yeshua's incarnations). There is actually ample evidence to suggest that Joseph was Imhotep in Egypt. Both were stewards to the Pharaoh during seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. (I suggest looking this up, it's a bit fascinating). If we don't look at the other information and just the image itself, we could say that Ophiuchus is the man who has tamed the Serpent. Which has an entire meaning of it's own. The serpent representing earthiness and temptation, being tamed has much the same meaning as the Heka-Staff or a person who is spiritually awakened. Also, it's interesting to note that in Wikipedia it's mentioned many cultures saw Ophiuchus trampling the Scorpion. The Scorpion, if you might remember, is connected to the Kiss of Death that Judas gave to Yeshua. Ophiuchus, the symbol when taken in it's entirely can be seen as taming his worldly nature and triumphing over Death. Birds So I mentioned, interestingly, that what emerged in the information that I came across is the theme of three birds. On the Pillar in Gobekli Tepe it could be seen as the chick, the bird with it's arms outstretched signifying where the sun in the galactic alignment on it's wing, and one holding a serpent. The second, is the significance of three bird constellations that if we hopped into a time machine we would have seen circling the tip of the pyramid as it was being built (which was over a hundred year period according to Cacye). John Van Auken explains that in Egypt the Soul, or Ba was depicted as birds. Souls that were not incarnate were depicted as having bird heads. The bird could also represent the Higher Self. Egyptian beliefs were focused on uniting the Ba (the soul) with the Ka (the human consciousness). The Ba, is the aspect of ourselves that always remains before the Throne of God or in heaven (I've explained before I see this as the Higher Self). Interestingly, Laird Scranton also talks about the Vultures at Gobekli Tepe. He connects the vultures to Goddesses. He ties Vultures to Isis and Nephthys but he gives no explanation for why there is a third vulture. A search provided that there is a third Vulture Goddess called Nekhebet but Laird does not mention her in his work and I'm not sure it would fit in with the cosmology he has worked out. She too is also associated with Isis and Nephthys but may be a later adaptation during the New Kingdom. In Egypt, both Isis and Nephthys are depicted as vultures. He also notes that Vultures are also tied to Large Breasted Eagles. He ties this in with Gobekli Tepe by saying Tebe might be etymologically significant. The word vulture is Tebe in Egyptian which is the root for the word Tebelu which means, "Moment when Humanity was restored to culture." (pg. 51-52 Point of Origin). The Serpent The following could be it's own post and in the future I might expand on this topic. I'm simply going to summarize what I have become aware of without quoting anyone. There is clearly, the suggestion that the Serpent is associated with Sin. Yet, the Serpent was actually considered a sign of abundance in Egypt. There were a few gods that were depicted as snakes that were benevolent. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead there was also Apep, who was considered evil. However, I think what seems to be most universal is that it represents a focus on material objects (abundance in a way) and material reality which is what caused the falling away from the connection with God/The Universal Source. After all, it was Eve's desire for a material object that caused "sin" in the bible. This is a very basic or primitive state of Spiritual Life. So, it represents an animal that slithers on its belly and is very Earthly all of it's life. From Snake To Bird What I noticed when studying the eight Neters of Egyptian mythology that within their names there were certain symbols. Serpent- Atum, the self created one is depicted as a serpent along with his daughter Tefnut. Birds- Shu has a chick in his name, Geb has a goose, and Horus has the Falcon. The reason I find this interesting is that these eight ancestors are associated with different stages of creation or matter. They might have even been connected to stages similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs with Horus representing self-actualization. Even more interesting is that in another metaphor creation consists of four stages: 1. The Dung Beetle (non-existence), 2. The Fish (or Snake which was mentioned in another part) (raising up of matter or mass/also depicted as the BenBen stone in the Atum myth), 3. The Jackal or Fox (matter in the state of reorganization) 4. The Goose (completed state). (Cosmological Origin of Myth and Symbol by Laird Scranton) Add to this that the Egyptians were the first ones to create the image of the Beanu bird- the Greeks called it a Phoenix- that rises up from it's own ashes...and Ancient Egypt definitely had a thing for birds as a symbol for Spirit and Spiritual Rebirth. Now, add to this Quetzalcoatl in North and South America. What is Quetzalcoatl? A serpent with wings. This is the combination of the Snake (worldly aspect) being given wings (heavenly aspect). In other words, a person who has combined their material and spiritual aspects. In the stories he didn't always have wings, however, there is a certain period in time when he receives his wings, which is in this eighty year time span. Conclusion Well, I've pretty much exhausted the little synchronicity experience I had in the last few days. I don't know if it means anything but it is fascinating that a constellation I had no idea about and received very little press has taken such prominence in my life. I find it interesting that Mars, associated with war or battle, is aligned with it's rival Antares and Saturn. I might investigate those three a bit deeper. I'm not sure if this has any meaning to people in the general population. For me, personally, it reminds me of the humbling nature of Creation. To me this is all happening comes at a very interesting time. I've reached a comfortable sense of Wholeness. My impressions working with my dreams and waking life is that I am imbuing more of my Spirit in the physical realm with the emphasis on the importance of individuality . I think John Van Auken said it best: "Our souls have traveled throughout the cosmos from the beginning of creation. Many of us, our souls, went through the initiations of these ancient mystery schools and temples during the thousands of years of descent into matter...As we reawaken the soul-self within us, we will remember and understand...This is one of the great aspects of this new era which we are entering, an Awakening- an Awakening like none other, where whole groups of souls rise to a more universal, eternal view of life, past and future." pg 4 Ancient Egyptian Mysticism.

For me one of the biggest struggles has been watching a lot of people who are suffering but refusing to do the personal work necessary to release the belief systems or patterns (that they inherited from their parents, society or past lives). Some people have reached a point in their thinking where they don't think that more work is necessary, their minds become like rocks, and they don't experience new growth but repeat the same behavioral and life patterns.
Even more amazing, some people are so addicted to the material world, serving themselves, the physical experience and afraid of the light (because of shame) that they don't want to even consider their issues. The Darkness and Light Let me explain how I define darkness and light first because it can be confusing. This isn't as simple as good and bad. Yet, at the same time it is is far more simple and complex than that concept. The Darkness is, in a sense, selfishness. We give into the darkness when we believe that our self is all that exists and all that we can know. This represents only being a servant to the self and working towards goals that only serve the self. This is not inherent to our spiritual nature. All of us as souls chose to turn away from the light of the Creator/God/All-That-IS or the natural Order to pursue selfish indulgences create our lives in the image we think we want but ultimately leads to our dissatisfaction. This path leads to a disconnection from others, the rest of creation, a feeling of loss, isolation and loneliness. The Light is the sense of service to others and the interconnection of every aspect of the universe from the smallest mineral (rock) to the beauty of the the cosmos. This is the perspective of Oneness and yet Manyness at the same time. This is the natural order of All-That-Is/God/the Creator. When looking for an example of this we need only look to the story of Yeshua or Buddha or to Native American teachings of the animals, minerals or plants being our cousins. In this perspective we go with the flow of the Creative Forces, we do not resist them, we listen to our intuition in the now, and even when we are uncertain of the outcome we follow that intuition. Within that natural creative flow, we set an intention then we let go of expectations so that All-That-Is, God, The Creative Forces...bring us the best outcome even if it is something we never could have imagined! To live a life of the Light is to truly be a warrior and takes more courage than forcing our will on the outer world trying to force it into the life we think we want based on all of our old patterns and beliefs. There is a balance of trust and faith in All-That-Is that if we are in the state of Wholeness everything will be provided to us. I know, that being in this state of expectancy, service to others and acceptance (it's a mental state of suppleness) can be hard to maintain when it's so easy to slip into the common paradigm but I believe in the promise made by Jesus/Yeshua: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 So, being in this State of Mind (I will explain my point of view on this in another post) what happens is that the Creative Forces/All-That-IS/God is able to provide all other needs. This working within the natural Order of things, HIS will (as mentioned in the Lords Prayer) instead of forcing and projecting our own will onto creation makes it easy for thins to naturally flow to us. Most of us exist in a state of Darkness throughout our life. This is the common paradigm on Earth. There is only the self, sometimes our family as well, but primarily the self that we think about or consider when making choices. There are more people today that are Lightworkers then ever before and a lot of false Lightworkers who've heard the knowledge but don't apply it in their daily life. There are a lot of people praying for self-destruction. There are also a lot of people who see that there is another way of being and they don't even attempt to turn towards the Light. I understand starting, then falling off, then trying again. What I don't understand is why some people don't even try. This post is primarily a meditation and a reflection on what I see and experience in daily life. Amplifying the Darkness When I first started on my path to Wholeness I didn't understand the concepts involved with what people were talking about. When I read James Redfield's book Celestine Prophecy and his other books I felt that there were hints of truth in it but the method of doing this spiritual 'clearing' wasn't clear. I couldn't quite figure out how I could apply it to my own every day life. Yeah, it sounded interesting for other people of other cultures, maybe but applying it to the very solid unchangeable version of the world I had been taught seemed impossible. Further, compounding the problem is that there is no singular method that people can use to loosen their emotional burden. I have to say that therapy did not help me at all. I was not taught how to recondition my mind or thinking at all. Instead the therapist really seemed to focus on what I saw as negative which caused those problems to become bigger and far worse because I was concentrating on them. Our society has a tendency to focus on what we do not want. What this means is our Higher Self, because we are so excited about negative experiences and seem to want them...we are given even more negative experiences. Just look at our news. Media can be seen as a direct reflection of society because they go with stories that reward them with the most viewers. The viewers effectively vote for what they want to see by tuning in. News outlets have found that negative stories are what get the most attention. That's why they will cut from other shows to a live video of a High Speed Chase or a Police Stand Off. As a society, on a subconscious level, we have been amplifying the Darkest aspect of humanity, focusing on it and then saying, "This is the human experience." Holding Onto Pain and Darkness Yet, even as I talk to people and listen to their stories, which has always happened, I find that people don't want to heal. For a time I will invest attention in a person that is having a hard time. Those people, almost like an addict to the help, love and support I give, will come back to me multiple times with an update about their situation. What I have inevitably found was that those people will sometimes resolve their current problems and then automatically find a way to create an equally miserable experience. Their cycle of pain or crisis is unending. There was one woman who complained of chronic pain. Eventually, she had her gallbladder removed. However, instead of feeling better after the surgery, she complained that she was still having pain. At the same time, she portrayed herself as a victim because she had to take care of her elderly parents, who did not live with her, by checking in on them occasionally. She never once said a positive word about her life. Some people honestly don't want to heal. These people want to hold onto the pain that has brought them so much misery. That misery, even though they cry out and say, "Oh I am so miserable," in some way serves them. In many cases, I've discovered that it gives them something to talk about and it's a way to get attention. This is probably a pattern that started in childhood where their parents only paid attention to them when something bad happened. So, they were taught that the only way to get attention was by being in crisis. They hold onto the pain instead of healing because they are in love with the attention their wound gives them. Even if they heal one wound they will create another one just to continue the cycle. They only know how to approach life from the position of someone who is wounded...a perpetual victim. The sad thing is that they are only a victim of is themselves. Inevitably, they feel lonely and unsupported because other people are naturally pushed away by such a mentality. They try to change their outer world, telling others they must change because they are the "bullies" but what needs to change is the mind of the victim. Choosing To Be A Phoenix or A Victim This is a tough subject in our time. In a world where micro-aggressions, micro-invalidations and micro-insults are a thing it's important to look at why people want to be victims. Why would people want to amplify such petty slights? Why would they try to force their will on other people? This might sound terrible that people would actually fall back to the position of victim out of choice. Yet, ultimately, being a permanent victim is absolutely a choice and a pattern that the individual is creating in their own life. Most of it has to do with them taking events personally and interpreting them through the perspective that they are the victim. In the moment of a circumstance we can be a victim. There is no doubt that someone who is raped, had their house robbed, witnessed a loved one being killed, has been beaten up, been discriminated or suffered from some other form of personal space invasion is a victim. Yet, they are only a victim in that moment. People absolutely deserve to be compensated and justice done to the perpetrators of these acts in the hope that they do not continue to create more victims. Yet, the person who was victimized has a choice. They can remain a victim their entire life or they can use the Dark Night of the Soul to transform themselves. Every time we are reduced to ashes we have the opportunity to rise from those ashes as a Phoenix of hope so that we can be a light to others. We have a choice to be the Phoenix or the Victim. Yes, it is an exchange of energy that occurs between the perpetrator and the victim. The person on the receiving end can, ultimately, choose what they do with that energy. You can own that experience and use it as a platform to gaining a broader more enlightened view of humanity or you can allow it to crush your spirit. Everyone always has a choice. The Benefit of Being A Victim There are benefits to being a victim. Being a permanent victim relieves people of their responsibility for their own happiness, prosperity and success in life. Some people even claim that because they are victims their thoughts and actions are not their fault! They will inevitably become the victimizer and create more victims because misery loves company. This is very powerful because it gives the person a reason a way to justify all of their negative behaviors and activities. They act as though they are not in control of their lives, and in many ways they are right, because they are giving all of their power to others from the potential offender to the true offenders. By their very subconscious behavior they create offenders out of neutral behaviors by subtle attacks or overly defensive behavior. When the person fails to succeed at anything in their life they fall back on the label of a victim. "Well, that didn't work," they say, "because I am a victim." Fill in the word victim with any of the thousands of labels that are synonymous with that word in our culture currently (female, immigrant, gay, minority, etc.) and you have millions of people who think of themselves as victims. Further, all of these victim groups are justifying and enforcing one another so it's a ever deepening unhealthy psychological state of society. The people who think the world is being controlled by a negative entity or aliens fall into this category as well. These people see themselves as victims that are being held down. As long as they see themselves that way they will be...because they are creating it out of choice within their state of mind. Then there are the people who look at the government and think that's what's holding them down or holding them back. Still others think that corporations are in collusion with the government to hold them back and make them sick with genetically modified foods. There are even people who believe that they are victims of Satan and that's why they can't succeed in life and bad things happen to them. All of these are just excuses not to look within, not to look at the self, but to project outwards on outer organizations, groups and people a sense of helplessness. These are all expressions of Faith-Less-Ness, in themselves, in the Creator, and in the Natural Order of the world. Yet, what is creating this irregularity is their choice to resist the natural flow of creative flows because they are pursuing an image they have created in their own heads instead of trusting in a Higher Power that has a better plan that will make them happier. Are People Addicted to The Darkness? So many people are addicted to the Darkness. The drama is so exciting. Even when told about the idea that there is another way to live, even with all of that information at their fingertips to do so, they choose the Darkness. This used to make my heart ache. Why do people choose to suffer? For most, it is because that is all they know. They wallow in their suffering and the suffering of others. Just look at the trend of Reality Television that amplifies the worst part of human nature. The Light is so foreign to them, the nature of Wholeness and the prosperity of Happiness that they cannot allow themselves to partake in the experience. Part of this is fear, like a junkie not wanting to give up their drugs because it's been their coping mechanism for so long. They cannot imagine life without darkness, sadness, drama and misery. They must be distracted by some outer wrong in the world so that they do not have to examine themselves. They resist the natural flow because they must be right all of the time and will not submit to any power outside of themselves. Part of this is feeling that they are unworthy of the Light, of happiness, and Wholeness. Why face that fear when we can remain with the familiar and known trends? We learned these patterns of behavior, thinking and beliefs from our experiences, parents, from our society and from school. They are tired and true producing results we can expect and rely on. By the age of seven we have mentally formed all of the rules to our game of life. Untying these rules can be hard because we have to face the unknown. We have to chart new territory in life as we know it...deviating from all of the patterns and examples that we know. The people in love with the darkness might, for a time, be able to apply the information of how to clear emotional blocks from their life...but then, out of habit, reflex and because they are used to them...they will place them right back. While I feel sad for such people, I have come to realize that I cannot save them or help them. I watch them, and I hope one day they will be ripe for help, but I know that they are not ready. Perhaps they will not be ready in this life. Conclusion A state of Darkness, of selfishness, hopelessness and powerlessness is the common state of the human being in our society. Right now, it seems as though our world is rewarding the people who feel this way, that willingly take on the label of a permanent victim and it is amplifying the Darkness. When we dwell in the Darkness we are slaves to our own selfish desires. This is a form of disorder and isolation that is not something that the Creator/All-That-Is/God wishes for humanity but one that we create by resisting our natural inherent soul-self and the natural flow of creation. This force, this Darkness, is not terrible or evil. This has given rise to our ability to be individual souls. We can tell the difference between ourselves and the rest of creation. Yet it is what people do with and because of this energy that can be destructive. In a past life, as I described, I was murdered. The kid who murdered me felt powerless and I felt his powerlessness in the moment that I recalled my death in that life. I understood his sense of powerlessness and that he did not feel important. I understood by killing me he was striking out at that part of himself because he did not think he could have what I did. I will add, that in his current life he had the same victim mentality. I often tried to understand why people killed Yeshua/Jesus. I believe the reason is much like that killed me in my past life. They could not stand what he represented because the Light he represented only amplified the Darkness within them. They could not tolerate this reflection of themselves.They did not know what they did, striking out in powerlessness at someone they saw as powerful. They didn't realize they were rejecting someone who represented a pattern, a way, for them to find Wholeness and turn back towards the Light in their own lives. That is why he asked God to forgive them, because they did not know what they were doing. Sadly, for many people in this day and age they are the same. They claim the title of victim and cast the disowned aspects of themselves into the darkness creating their own nightmares. They are in love with their misery. Even more sad, is that only they can save themselves. Spirit will continue to send them Wake Up calls, until the pain is too much and they sever themselves from life or they Awaken to the Kingdom of Heaven within. I will explain my point of view on that in my next post. In a recent exchange with people about the "Mandela Effect" a woman stated in explanation of the phenomenon, "We all exist within the mind of God."
This statement confused the heck out of the person we were trying to help who was very upset with the idea of the Mandela Effect. I've covered what I think of the phenomenon in my Time Lines Blog. That it is not really that important in our day to day life if we are switching between Timelines. That we can take the knowledge of such events as proof of the Creators existence and our own Multi-Dimensional Spiritual nature. When contemplating the statement, "We all exist within the mind of God," it also reminds me of the Holographic Universe idea that Science has put forth. For a time, I thought about writing a blog on that subject and then I realized that these two concepts are very much intertwined. When I responded to the women that made that general statement much to the confusion of the person we were trying to console I explained there were layers to the concept. She seemed bewildered and I realized that her conceptualization was far more simple then my own and perhaps she didn't know how exactly it may work. I don't know for certain if my perspective is correct. I cannot offer proof. Yet, it is on an internal level that this idea has brought me great peace and understanding. I'm just going to explain my perception of how we 'exist within God's mind'. This is what makes sense to me and it is what really changed my perception of the world, myself and the Creator. In my mind, the holographic universe (and there are lot of people sharing how that may be and what it might mean out there so I urge you to do the research) and the "Mind of God" are one in the same. Neither is something to become paranoid about on any level. So Tiny As To Be Effectively Hidden "According to the Dogon Priests, the central point of the figure is actually conceived as another very small circular space, which is where the Dogon Creator-God Amma is found. ALthough this idea is not spoken of in public, Amma is considered to be so small as to be effectively "hidden" and is understood to be dual in nature (from one perspective, Amma is interpreted to be both male and female). To underscore these points, the plan for the Dogon granary shrine provides that a small cup holding two even smaller grains be placed at the center point of the shrine." (pg 30, Point of Origin Laird Scranton) Bashar explains that there is only one infinitely small point of light travelling really really fast that forms all of creation. That one point of light could be described as the "creator" because it is literally creating All- That- Is. I believe that this small point of light or energy is actually smaller than the quantum level. This is also referred to in the Jewish mystical group, the Kabbalah, where there is a hidden "God" in the tree of life. In Quantum Physics it has been proven that photons, which are really really tiny, act in "Spooky Ways," according to Einstein. The fundamental building blocks of our reality do not behave as Scientists thought they should. They can't find a rhyme or reason why a photon cut in two separated by miles can somehow remain connected to the point where they can share information. In another instance, the photons in the Slit Experiment behaved differently when observed. Recently, in a book called Edgar Cacye's Story of Jesus he explained that when he was in that trance state, he saw a small little ball of light ascend from his body...this, I take, to be his soul. This explains orbs, they are spirits as we are, on a soul level created in the image of the All-That-Is. How All-That-Is can be so tiny and yet so much at the same time is a bit complicated but Laird Scranton captures it well in a few of his books which I will go into in a different blog. I believe that "All That Is" exists on a level that is even smaller than the Quantum level and the Quantum level is essentially the Dream Weave or the Template level through which our reality is formed. This is how, All-That-Is forms everything in our universe, including us, and at the same time because it encompasses All-That-Is retains it's own individuality. Vibration and The Dream Weave There is a website that explains some of the basic concepts that Bashar teaches about how the "Physics of this World" work. In it there is the statement, "All Things Are The Same One Thing Vibrating At Different Rates." In this paradigm to reach the the life that serves our Highest Purpose we simply need to tune into the right frequency to interact with the reality we want. This allows for infinite universes, infinite versions of us and infinite timelines. This also demonstrates that we can control, or choose, the timeline that suits us best (although, with the splitting of the prism some timelines might not become accessible). The way that Jamie Sams describes the Dream Weave is similar. By every action we make we weave a strand into the Dream Weave. We are consciously putting out energy that shapes the world that we perceive in our day to day life. Physics seems to capture this idea with String Theory. This suggests that there are Strings that vibrate. Some of the Threads are entangled (meaning they pass information to one another) while some are not. I have not studied this idea except in passing but it is interesting that Physics has a theory that seems to reflect the idea of the the Dream Weave. Laird Scranton gives examples of how the Dogon teachings actually represent this idea. In Native American and Dogon traditions it is a mother spider that weaves these strings or the web of life. In Egypt is the Goddess Nieth. In Greek mythology it was three old women called Fates. So there is a lot to suggest that the fabric of the our reality is woven by cosmic and perhaps elemental forces. Finally, it is possible that it is in this level that the "Spirit Realm" or what we experience in between lives exist. Here is a description from Journey of Souls by Michael Newton: "Dr. Newton: Do you see the spirit world here as made up of a solid structure? Subject : That's what I'm trying to explain. It's not solid, although you might think so at first. It's layered- the levels of light are all woven together in...stratified threads. I don't want to make it sound like things are not symmetrical- they are. But I see variations in thickness and color refraction in the layers. They also shift back and forth. I always notice this as I travel away from Earth." For more examples and explanation of what the Dream Weave is or this level of existence please refer to the section titled Dream Weave in this previous blog: http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/shift-deviation Reflections of the Creator So far we have one self-aware infinite point of light that exists outside of time and space in which everything happens in one moment simultaneously. All histories, all realities and all future realities in an infinite amount of universes and infinite amount of timelines. This point of creation is the creator or All-That-Is and it is conscious of itself and all of it's creation. Then we have the Dream Weave or the Template level of creation. This consists of thousands of vibrating strands that we literally weave with our beliefs, intentions, desires and interactions with others. We could say that this web is the way through which we use all of the information offered by the creator to create our own reality along with him. Yet, what are we really? Well, the Ancient Egyptians knew. The following is from John Van Aunken's book Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and its Relevance Today. Everything "The Egyptian Book of the Dead actually carries the hieroglyphic title, "The Book of the Master of the Hidden Places" or "Coming Forth By Day" pg 2 "In these earliest times, the many gods of the Egyptians were unique children of One Great God, the Source of All Life....Even in Genesis the plural Form is used as the name of God, indicating that the One was composed of many, and the many contained the Universal, Omnipresent One. Ra, as a great god as he was to the ancient Egyptians, was not the ultimate deity, but a projection from out of the Ultimate Unseen One. The unindividualized Most High God would be considered the pure disk, symbolizing God's unindividualized nature. God was seen through It''s creation- not directly, for It was not seeable as an individual- but very similar to St. John's concept expressed in his epistle, "No man has at any time seen God...but the Begotten of God has revealed Him. Before creation, the ancient Egyptian God Nun (or Nu) was all there was. Nun is infinity, nonthing, nowhere, and Darkness. In Gensesis, Nun would correspond with the verse, "Darkness was upon the deep," which is followed by, "let there be light." Within the Darkness, the god Atum (or Tem or Tum) was self-created and began the creation within itself. Atum literally means "no to be", meaning unmanifested, not personified, not born. As written in the Papyrus of Pepi I, this was "Spirit, still and formless, who bore within itself the sum of all existence. This is similar to the Hindu descriptions of Brahman and Atman. According to the Hindus, God has two aspects: One is the unmanifested, unmoved, unchanged, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Brahman); the other is present, active and with us (Atman). Atman is similar to the concept of the Logos or, "The Word" or the "First Begotten of God" which begins St. Johns Gospel and by which 'All Things Were made." "Nun and Atum could be considered the feminine and masculine aspects of God. Nun is the womb of the Mother God, dark, silent, yet latent with the potential for creation. Atum is the projected aspect of the Father God, actively involved in and with the creation." There are several texts in which the ancient Egyptian writers are clearly speaking of a singular God. Their apparent polytheism is due to their proximity to the original creation in which the created and the Creator were still one. The God had given birth to many godlings. The original, wiser, ancient Egyptians were not polytheistic." (pg 5-6) Further, explaining the polytheistic nature of the Egyptian God's and that it doesn't mean that Egyptians originally believed in multiple God's here is a breakdown of what the word "Giza" means by Laird Scranton in his Book Point of Origin: "...None of Budges words for Giza offered me any real insights into the possible symbolism for the word, but I was also aware that Dogon and Egyptian cosmological terms often seem to combine predefined phonetic root words to create more complex terms. I turned my search toward the two phonetic roots of the word, gi and sa. Gi is an Egyptian word that refers to a "high place" or a "terrace" two attributes that can be seen to define a plateau. The term terrace is used as a cosmological key word in Buddhism to refer to a stupa shrine. Sa is a word that Budge defines to mean "Knowledge deified." Taken together, these phonetic roots convey a meaning of "terrace of knowledge deified," a definition that seemed wholly appropriate to the likely symbolism of the Giza plateau." Given that both the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are at the Giza plateau it does indicate that's where knowledge was symbolically stored in stone. As I've stated before, The Great Pyramid Timeline by John Van Auken explains that there is a timeline within the Great Pyramid. Further, as the above passages of Egyptian Mysticism by John Van Auken indicates the different God's of Egypt actually represented different states of matter. The Creator is actually, "One composed of many, and the many contain the Universal, Omnipresent One," and he is, "The Hidden One." This goes right along with what I've already written about All-That-IS being a single point of light at one level of existence and how on our level of existence God is everything, barely perceptible to our science, but always there and within us. We simply exist within god and can never be separated from him. Reflections of God So, God created Godlings. We are those Godlings. I've also stated before that it is our soul that is in the image of God and not our body. Here is a description of what the soul body looks like from Journey of Souls by Michael Netwon who specializes on In Between Lives Regressions: "Dr. Newton :Do you see these people as familiar people on Earth?" Subject: I...have a sensation of their presence...people I knew... Dr. Newton: All right, keep moving along. What do you see next? Subject: Lights...soft...kind of cloudy like. Dr. Newton: As you are moving, does this light continue to look the same? Subject: NO, they are growing...blobs of energy...and I know they are people!" From the Website summarizing some of Bashar's basic principals (http://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/#Blueprint ) there is this: "Every individual is a self-aware, self-reflective free-will entity - a holographic representation of the Infinite Creation." Conclusion I tried to make this as simple as I could even though it's a huge topic. I have given many examples of how it works, how it is hinted at throughout several cultures, and it may be a subject I have to visit many times. Yes, in a way we are all within the mind of the Creator and the Creator is within each of us making up the very fabric of our beings. We are also mini-creators learning how to create through our lessons that we learn here on Earth. That way, one day, we will be companions to God with our own individuality and perception of ourselves as individualized aspects of All-That-Is. The issue is, on our planet, we as souls have turned our face away from the Light of the Source. What this means, is that we sought out our own independence and we are working towards returning to the Light and Oneness. This is a process, wherein, much as a teenager rebels against their parents, we form our own individuality. Then we turn back to God, and the Oneness, and the Light having been transformed by this process. Sometimes, it takes many incarnations to do this, and it is a choice that we as souls made. There is more on this topic but I will cover this in a later post. While we are on Earth we are also creating, often on an unconscious level based on patterns and expectations that our Parents, Society and our Educational system has taught us. We are working with the Dream Weave to decide what type of reality we experience here on Earth. Now that is an entirely different post and really new territory for me. For now, it's clear that before the Ancients descended into the period of forgetfulness and supposed Separation from All-That-Is they understood the fundamental building blocks of matter that sciences is only now discovering. They understood how creation was made, that God was the Unseen One that creates all of existence. They understood the Dream Weave and how to work with it. The perception of All-That-IS, the Creator, God, has really opened my mind and changed how I perceive the world. Yet, I have known it all along because when I was a child, no more than six, playing Barbies I had the thought, "Is this how God perceives us? He creates characters, they develop their own personalities and then he watches the scenarios they create play out?" Any author knows the feeling that the Creator must have. As an author I am the character in my books, each with their own personality and yet removed from them. Each one has a purpose in the story but at some point they simply take on a life of their own that can be mind boggling even to the writer of the story. As far as the nature of the Creator, how he could allow Evil to exist and Evil People to exist...I see it much as an author writing a story. The author creates both good guys and bad guys...but that doesn't mean that either really reflect the nature of the Author. Yes, they are aspects of the authors imagination, but we don't look at J.K. Rowling and because she created the character Voldemort think that she is evil for creating him. Further, evil people always have the ability to be redeemed. In fact, it is suggested that all of us at some point have been evil in our past lives but that does not mean that our soul is evil. Even then, some of the best stories are when a villain seeks redemption. |
