2012 Basics

The Hopi Elders Speak

2012-01-07T23:19:00.001-08:00

We Are the Ones
We've Been Waiting For
You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.

Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.

And there are things to be considered:

Where are you living?

What are you doing?

What are your relationships?

Are you in right relation?

Where is your water?

Know your garden.

It is time to speak your Truth.

Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

—The Elders Oraibi

A bit on peaceful protests and peaceful gatherings

2012-01-07T19:56:00.000-08:00

Know what's interesting about hippies...they got together in astonishing numbers at the Woodstock festival and had a legendarily great time. No police riots, no mass arrests...look what can happen, Mr. Police Officer, when you leave us all alone and just let us do what we came to do, peacefully :)

January 15th, a world-wide vigil for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday!

2012-01-07T19:20:00.001-08:00

http://j15global.org/

7PM in each time zone globally.

On his birthday and in the spirit of Dr. King's vision for racial and economic equality, peace, and non-violence, we are holding candlelight vigils to unite our world in a global movement for systemic change.

Wherever we may be, whether in our homes, in city squares, online, Occupies, or at work, we lift a beautiful message high above the political dialogue. We light the dream of a more equitable world in our hearts. We can overcome!

Dr. King said "A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and say: 'This is not just.' "

A touch more about 2012

2011-12-19T12:38:00.000-08:00

People who WILL NOT seek the positive will create their own increasing discomfort.

In co-creation energy, if you hate yourself, you will harm yourself. If you love others, you will know love. The beautiful St. Francis prayer becomes functional.

Every one gets a choice with increasing pressure/relief from the new energy. As you said, build that happy muscle, no matter what. Many will just not get it and flame out next year. Others may get caught up in local or national karmas. Stay in that happy place, always send love. You are what you do.

In simplest terms, just be happy regardless, like the lesson at the end of The Grinch who stole Christmas. Seriously.

Those of us who are good at energy can send love and light where it most matters.

Addition to the previous 2012 post.

2011-12-13T09:13:00.000-08:00

There can be correlation between physical illness and external energy shifts.

If you get hit by something, especially anything others are getting, do the medicines you'd expect, see a doctor as needed, and also consider if there is anything in your life/energy that it's time to release, to accept, to name.

This is not an absolute but I'm talking about things which come in waves in the population, especially within the next year or so as the energetic shifts increase in amplitude and frequency.

Be well! :)

2012 is coming up

2011-12-11T12:19:00.001-08:00

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1220187

I'm burned from the last couple of months so this will by no means be complete!

In 2010 I (purposely generally) alluded to where to trend-watch in 2011. The majority of how it applies in America has only sprung up in the last quarter of this year, and continues to accelerate. Some has been obvious in the rest of the world (Arab spring).

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Fire%20Walk%20With%20Me/1186

Shocking revelations in government (S1867/NDAA, etc.), community, responsibility, better ways of living, non-instant revolution (#Occupy), home-growing for food (not yet catching on), great ideas (biomimicry for drought relief, gamers figuring out how to untie an AIDS retrovirus protein), and the overall push toward living in the principles of the higher dimensions (honesty, openness, inclusion, truth, peace, community, creation, courage, love, and Bolivia's new 'Law of Mother Earth' which gives nature equal rights with humans...'bout time.)

In 2009, about 2010: The first stirrings of Change, of revolution:

http://2012basics.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-to-watch-for-in-2010.html

The 11.11.11 energy was/is a real kick-start. Consider this regarding the similar 2012 energy "portals". We will be increasingly jumped up into the eventual continuous positive energy to be found in the world after 2012. This process involves, as Karen Bishop so clearly saw, the willful shedding of karma or its logical manifestation, as you will not want anything in you to be negative in the coming space of co-creation. In 2011 you will likely have found old things coming up so that you had the opportunity to understand and to release them. This is important work. Admit to things, release them, let them go. Be willing, even when you do not know how to let them go. Ask your Guides for help, especially when you encounter something beyond your control, unmanageable, which reduces you to powerlessness. There is help but you must ask for it, and be willing to let it help...

This is the most basic importance for moving into the energy of 2013. 2012 continues the trend of clearing. This is true at the personal, family, city, and national levels. I worry about America as it has been running around the world playing policeman for so long, and for how it treated the First People and African-Americans. And how it has sucked up a great deal of the worlds resources. This IS a great nation, mostly due to its people. If America is reduced to something less, it will still be strong through its people, who will band together to solve such problems as personal/family/city needs. It is time for spirituality in America, even if only through compassionate acts and caring for others.

"That which a thing is, increases." Houses of cards are crumbling. I've said these things more than once. We are clearing the greedy and selfish to allow for Community and love. Those who choose to pursue greed and selfishness and fear as paths of learning will increasingly experience discomfort and the characteristics of fear and selfishness. This will provide them the insight required to shrug it off if they so choose. The new energy allows for very quick, massive personal change in proportion to the intent and willingness and surrender (utterly giving up) put into it. Welcome to those who choose the lessons of love and creation! WELCOME!

There is no right or wrong about it, there is only that which you choose and where it leads you. Always consider where an action will lead you, if you have any doubt or if you have anger.

The Trend is for the 99% to reclaim their power and voice, and to determine a Better Way Of Living...and to bring it about. The declining power of the 1% will still seek to obstruct, usurp, and even destroy it, such is its wont. It is important to note that not only will the will of the majority prevail, it is important for that majority to show up and claim what it wants. The positive energy will provide. You should by now note that positive acts have sustainability. In the older energy, it seemed that there was an efficiency ratio of something like 99% effort toward the positive, and a 1% result. That has changed and will continue to show up as the trend, will continue to show up as increasingly powerful. Those of the old way will make some headway as they are BUSY creating what they want. We must be even busier, all of us, creating what WE want, for it to stick. As the placard states: 99% to 1%...those are great odds.

Weather...in 2012, we will have been seeing where we stand regarding the increasing amplitude of extremes, and that we have choices to make, and that we are capable of making them. This is not a problem, we can do it together. We must CHOOSE to do it together! The awakening of humankind is of course part of this, and is partially propelled through it. Again, as an #Occupy sign stated: "...this is a process." It is not an avalanche of issues, it is an uncovering, a spring cleaning. Rise to the opportunity! We are stronger as a whole in so doing!

Politics? What has been a circus becomes increasingly simply pathetic...just pathetic. More and more agree upon this, and we look to ourselves for the answers. Don't like banks? Do as #Occupy San Francisco and start your own credit union. What do you need? BUILD IT. It becomes easier and easier to do.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Richard Buckminster Fuller

I wish for the world to come to a global mic check, to a global General Assembly, of the people, for the people, by the people. This can happen if we pay attention that the problems we face, of differences, are only speed bumps in our path and are not absolutes. We CAN do this. We WILL when we work at it. It is an incredibly exciting time to be alive! Do not fear any large-scale tumult, it is part of the process. Build your happiness muscles, choose to stay in joy, and build it for yourself and everyone, regardless!

This of course is incomplete, is highly general. I will say nothing about specific things requiring individual choice, only the general Trends from which to choose. If someone tells you "You will be a millionaire" and doesn't mention that it's through incredible determination and very hard work, you'll kick back to await the supposedly inevitable. Which will then NOT happen. Your participation is required for you to experience your joy, and to help build it for everyone else as well. Do not focus upon the unfortunate energy of problems, focus always upon solutions. Luckily, the increasingly positive energy supports this as well. We CAN face anything put in front of us. The will of the people is a physical thing! Get up, stand up. Stand up for your rights...

Sorry for the spotty updates

2011-12-07T12:18:00.001-08:00

as I've been using most of my energy following and attending #Occupations.

The Trend is continuing as expected. Manifestation is becoming simpler, and aids in clearing our issues (when willing). National karma has come on stage and is not soon to leave. Bad people are making headway into being bad, and good people are gaining ground in being good. This is a process and allows us to see and reject that which the majority does not want. Do not be alarmed by seemingly increasing negativity, but if motivated, DO go and put your time and energy into building something positive, something community. You will note that positive results are easier to gain, and easier to maintain, which is the difference, the happy difference.

I'm away from the computer, putting my time and energy into esteemable acts. What are you going to do with this lovely new energy and its rewards for action?

A quick thought on the 1% and the 99%.

2011-11-19T01:01:00.001-08:00

They're terrified that we'll realize that WE DON'T NEED THEM.

Which of course is exactly what is happening. Enjoy the shift!

11.11.11

2011-11-10T14:22:00.001-08:00

Be kind to yourself starting right now. Release that bit of dirt to which you've been clinging. Be willing to step forward into a better life. Put your thoughts and energy into "I am willing".

Allow your wings to unfurl as the wind is rising...

We are going in the right direction.

2011-11-08T22:49:00.000-08:00

It may seem that things are getting worse, with more and more police violence, more and more defamation tactics and sheer subterfuge on the part of the police and those who control them, with greater and greater revelation of corporate, banking, and general wrong-doing, but I say to you that we are on the right path, we are going in the right direction, and that direction is one of washing our hands of the dirt we have tolerated for so very long. It is not increasing, we are merely awakening to it, and justly, to our desire to change the world to be rid of it in every form. This is right and true. It is for the good. Do not worry about the actions of the unjust for they shall be reviled more and more for their very actions, for their very intent. We are tired of them, we are done with them and their tactics and planning and undermining our voice and our freedom. Pay attention instead to what is right, to what beautiful things are being built among us, and through us. We are gathering to solve our problems because we are the best answer! Together we are unstoppable. We are far more powerful than we allow ourselves to believe. We are far more powerful than we have been told to allow ourselves to consider. Sleep, and submerge your ideas and strength, they tell us. No more! We can no longer ignore our difficulties, and find within ourselves the strength and determination to make things =better=. We see that our brothers and sisters are in need and we say "How can we help you?" We find ourselves in need and our brothers and sisters say "How can we help you?" How can we solve these problems together? It is happening and you are contributing even if you are even wondering about how to better the world. It is happening if you are part of the brilliance which are the #Occupy groups.

It is happening, and it is gorgeous. It is exhilarating.

Look to the posts of those who have attended the #Occupations and revel in their sense of wonder at something new and wonderful in the world, where each voice is heard as equally as any other, where each voice is welcomed and is =needed=. You are needed. You are wonderful. You have something to offer the world, no matter how small, no matter how you may feel about it. You are wanted, you are needed, it is here and it is waiting for you to step into its open arms, and it is Familiar. It is how life should be, it is how life will be, as we work for it. It has awakened and as such, will not return to slumber. We have tasted our voice, we have tasted our power, we have seen true Democracy is possible and the only direction from this point is to more of the same. Do not worry about those who interfere and even cause harm. They show us change is needed, and we naturally intensify our resolve to improve when we encounter such ugliness. It is a springboard and each and every time we have been attacked, whether directly or through witnessing it in print, in photographs, and in video, we move further and further into a better world. We are creating it right now and it is beautiful. It is natural. We want it, and it is happening.

Do we have concrete problems to solve? Yes. Note the Trend already occurring through this movement and know that we have already begun improving the world. Banks are frightened, politicians are frightened, the old structures are beginning to shake and sway under our influence. These problems are not as big as we have imagined them, for they are already responding directly to our group direction, to our will. Double our numbers and they will scream. Multiply us times ten and...it will be wonderful.

We are going in the right direction. Be happy, we are doing it!

Beautiful message from #Occupy

2011-10-30T11:53:00.000-07:00

Occupy Wall Street: No Demand is Big Enough

Occupy Wall Street has been criticized for its lack of clear demands, but how do we issue demands, when what we really want is nothing less than the more beautiful world our hearts tell us is possible? No demand is big enough. We could make lists of demands for new public policies: tax the wealthy, raise the minimum wage, protect the environment, end the wars, regulate the banks. While we know these are positive steps, they aren't quite what motivated people to occupy Wall Street. What needs attention is something deeper: the power structures, ideologies, and institutions that prevented these steps from being taken years ago; indeed, that made these steps even necessary. Our leaders are beholden to impersonal forces, such as that of money, that compel them to do what no sane human being would choose. Disconnected from the actual effects of their policies, they live in a world of insincerity and pretense. It is time to bring a countervailing force to bear, and not just a force but a call. Our message is, "Stop pretending. You know what to do. Start doing it." Occupy Wall Street is about exposing the truth. We can trust its power. When a policeman pepper sprays helpless women, we don't beat him up and scare him into not doing it again; we show the world. Much worse than pepper spray is being perpetrated on our planet in service of money.Let us allow nothing happening on earth to be hidden.
...............
No one deserves to live in a world built upon the degradation of human beings, forests, waters, and the rest of our living planet. Speaking to our brethren on Wall Street, no one deserves to spend their lives playing with numbers while the world burns. Ultimately, we are protesting not only on behalf of the 99% left behind, but on behalf of the 1% as well. We have no enemies. We want everyone to wake up to the beauty of what we can create
.................
Occupy Wall Street should not be content with half-measures, even as it encourages and applauds the tiny hundredth-measures that might come first. It should not let such concessions sap the strength of the movement or seduce it into neglecting to foster its organizational network. Occupy Wall Street is the first manifestation in a long time of "people power" in America. For too long, democracy has, for most people, meant meaningless choices in a box. The Wall Street occupation is stepping out of the box.
............
The truth is dwindling rain forests, spreading deserts, mass tree die-offs on every continent; looted pensions, groaning burdens of student debt, people working two or three dead end jobs; children eating dirt in Haiti, elders choosing between food and medicine... the list is endless, and we will make it no longer possible to hold it in disconnection from the money system. That is why we converge on Wall Street, and anywhere that finance holds sway. You have lulled us into complacency for long enough with illusions and false hopes. We the people are awakening and we will not go back to sleep.

Only those who realize that there is something in man which is superior to the brute nature in him and that the latter always yields to it, can effectively be Satyagrahis. This force is to violence, and, therefore, to all tyranny, all injustice, what light is to darkness. In politics, its use is based upon the immutable maxim, that government of the people is possible only so long as they consent either consciously or unconsciously to be governed.

—M.K Gandhi

Please be careful of channeled information.

2011-10-29T17:38:00.000-07:00

The darkness is leaving Earth, in the form of the Satanic, which is usually obvious. Far more subtle are the tricks of the Luciferic, which tricks others into dangerous actions. There however is somewhat of a code involved, so if you see any sort of warning involved in a book or writing, be wary or just leave it alone, even if (or most especially if) it is couched by or hidden within humor.

Your consent is what is required so be skillful. If your intuition warns you in any way, listen to it. There is more trouble out there in spiritual writings than you might imagine, with channeling being possibly the most dangerous. There is also the danger of pointing it out and having it become an attraction, so I will only speak broadly and always request you to use your heart, to use your intuition, to ask guidance and to pay attention to any hits you get warning you about something, no matter how small. It is guidance. Keep your ego out of it, keep you ego from being involved. If you find that, beware. Stick with your heart, work on your own happiness, or better, work for the happiness of others. You are guided, you are your own best navigator, don't rely too deeply upon writings and exotic beings who might not be legit. Fear can be used to create dependence so stick to your joyous places.

Peace!

Global Warming will help bring us together. (+ more)

2011-10-29T16:06:00.000-07:00

Warming globally is the root cause of the increasing amplitude of the pendulum swings of the weather we already recognize. They will continue to increase in opposing severity as the heat whips things towards a chaotic/turbulent state.

The chaotic/turbulent state can be avoided through everyone getting together and admitting that there IS a problem, it is NOW, WHAT will we do to decrease it? This is currently occuring, is part of my predictions for 2011, is part of what must happen to actually cause us to come together to solve our problems. The general empetus to unifying in the face of trouble, already seen regarding the beautiful #Occupy movement, will increase globally in science and technology as we discuss what is and what must be done.

The problem-solving mindset thankfully applies/will apply to the other problems we face, and hopefully overpopulation will be the next main focus.

All this while, the energy continues to increase into the positive. We are doing personal, local, national, international, Global cleansing, and beneath it all, finding ourselves and that others are just like us and that we are all beautiful and deserving. So, systems incompatable are being obsoleted before our very eyes. The Trend is very visible with several big banks attempting to woo customers into staying (in the face of the November 5th Bank Transfer Day, get thee to a credit union or small local bank), reneging on newly announced fees, with growing outrage over police brutality and such, sloughing off that which no longer fits. It's not so much an increase in violence but a public self-examination of what we want and do not want, and a measure of our increasing sensitvity and clarity, and of the deeper darkness leaving us, of our rejecting it.

I also note that I have changed my diet to far, far less red meat or meat of any sort when possible. Depending upon what your body tells you, and you'll know better and better, consider eating lighter foods, and even those which are literally closer to Light. Yogananda mentioned that nuts and berries are very close to sunlight, plants and vegetables as well. Eating animals which eat plants and berries etc. is a step away from light. Eating those who feed upon those who eat plants and berries is yet another step away from light. It is possible for some saints to subsist directly upon God's infinite Light but that's not for everyone at this time. Know your body's calls for food; some heavy items may be required for balance. You'll know, and don't drastically change your diet because you read it here, trust your body and if you have any questions, ask a doctor first. Don't ignore clear suffering; get what you need. Your body is intelligent. Thank it and listen to its needs (be wary of its wants, that's just the senses and ego demanding stimulation, which is the ceaseless monkey cage referred to in Eastern literature). I'm a sweet tooth, I don't KNOW if I need those chocolates or not ;)

Back on topic. Remember what this blog and others recommend: Work to stay in a positive place regardless of that which churns about you. I have to work on this as well and writingn this blog is part of my practice. If you are hit with emotional swings, stay calm, breathe, take epsom salts baths if appropriate, stay around flower essences and precious oils per your taste. Put on your favorite comedy, go be silly with some friends. Work this muscle, it will serve you well and it is a habit worth developing. Joy is your birthright and it is possible even during trouble. We will all begin to work to support each other through difficulty of all types, which is how it is supposed to be, will be, and should always be.

Blessings!

My 2011 predictions were perhaps too low-key!

2011 is coming up.

Posted by Peake in Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing Group
Fri Dec 24th 2010, 12:01 PM

Starting the year with a lot of energies...we are being pushed/led to higher ideals and the far more pleasant manner of living they cause, disconnected from the past...note that some spiritual texts mainly describe how to live; this becomes more of a concern due to our Koyaanisqatsi and growing realization that we must go another way. The weather is revealing itself as an increasing hazard, one which must be solved. There will be growing awareness of the problems we face, such as this, and empetus to observation/organization/solution. Some new ideas will show up thanks to the presence of the Higher Dimensions and their associated genius. "Why didn't anyone ever think of that before, it's so obvious!"

But all in all, more proof of higher vibrations, the desire to be in them and to stay in them, of the desire and need to move into them as the standard. Fighting from those who cannot change, will not change, I don't wanna, you can't make me... Deeper insight into the malfeasance of government and government-related actions and agencies. Some shocking. PC said that Obama wouldn't go after BushCo directly, and IMO has likely prevented some harrowing info from coming to light too early (pun intended). All things in their time. Doesn't the military/industrial complex take about half of the governments spending? That sort of thing won't disappear overnight, but will diffuse and slowly break apart in the increasingly positive energies.

There will be more people realizing that there IS hope, that something better can be created and best of all, =maintained=. Which makes very important solving the problems in its way. Increasing love for the Great Mother Earth and voices raised toward caring for her more completely. Initiatives may begin regarding neighborhood care/upkeep, and co-op farming, which are things which should increase significantly, if you consider them at all. Food prices are becoming ridiculous, and there are increasing shortages...grow your own. Start another generation of Victory Gardens.

"Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany<1> during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil "morale booster" — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. This made victory gardens become a part of daily life on the home front."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garde...

This because of need as well as the increase of "good ideas". In beginning to work in a more communal manner, we become included and empowered, and satisfied as to a better way of living that we are making our own. Thus America begins some level of spiritual enrichment, as predicted by the Maharishi and Yogananda. This will be important especially if the cost of oil continues to rise. Transportation costs equal higher goods costs, and food is key. Those hanging tomato plant growers as seen on television are looking more and more interesting

I'm not talking instant revolutions here, but the continued birthing of positive trends amidst the absolute of increasing positive energy. Trend-watching is a good way to gain some level of insight. Those who doubt the "2012" energy thing may gain a greater belief, and hopefully some happiness regarding it, as it's good news for those who want something positive (or at minimum, the groundwork for something positive to be created). It's easier and easier to make positive actions "stick", to take hold and to gain empetus. Forward-driving energy is the important thing, combined with positive intent.

I've got to work upon this sort of thing; I don't care for the ephemeral much at all either. However, too much information can cause a lack of work if it is believed that a particular direction is guaranteed. The 2010 election should hopefully make it quite clear that if you want something, you're going to have to get out and make it happen. Input begins to equal output.

What is the world you wish to create? So begin. It is become easier and easier to do so.

Mayor Bloomberg: Your struggle against #OWS is creating unnecessary PAIN.

2011-10-16T10:05:00.000-07:00

Please stop it. Allow this movement to grow and reach its apogee unimpeded. It will do so with or without you. Working against it merely creates unpleasant struggle and pain for everyone. Cease immediately. There is too much pain and struggle in the world and #Occupy is its peaceful solution. Sit back and watch something beautiful happen. Thank you very much.

#OccupyWallStreet NYC are victorious!

2011-10-14T13:45:00.000-07:00

They have selected for their official color, a blend of those colors symbolic of the USA. The result?

Pretty much Indigo. Is this a surprise for anyone familiar with Indigo humans?

Although we face some real problems, this is how we will face them and move forward. It is time, it is a thing of beauty. Bravo to all those who got out and DID SOMETHING to change the world for the better!

Infinite Blessings...

#OccupyWallStreet can use your loving kindness.

2011-10-07T11:22:00.000-07:00

Naomi Klein just called it the most important thing in the world right now and it is true. It is the US spearhead of world-wide change to higher states and it is working just fine.

It can benefit from your loving thoughts and beliefs toward it. Even one person looking upon it with kindness is a wonderful assist. Please help build the future with love. I hope that you join me in excitement!

Blessings...

Another bit on the cleansing process

2011-10-03T22:13:00.000-07:00

This is not only about recognizing and releasing the things we shouldn't be doing, but is also about beginning to do the things you need to do for your integrity and are not. These can be more painful but are just as important. If you have painful relationships/dynamics you may have intimacy issues (most Americans are vulnerable to intimacy issues; it's one reason why we overeat and drug ourselves on television etc., so we don't have to listen to the internal pangs).

-Childhood

If you did not receive sufficient attention as a child from either or both parents, or worse, were rejected and abused, it is time to acknowledge that you feel hurt and why.

"I'm hurt because they didn't pay attention to me."
"I'm hurt because because I never felt loved by _______."
"I'm hurt because they abused me, broke my integrity, laughed at my powerlessness, when all I wanted was for them to love me."

"I'm hurt because I couldn't change the situation. I'm mad at myself because I wasn't powerful/smart/etc. enough to change the situation."

The thing is, to be a child is to be powerless, to not be able to adequately influence your situation and surroundings enough to gain love and to stop abuse. Your intimacy was denied, it was damaged, it was disrespected, it was ignored. You hurt. Say to yourself that you hurt because your intimacy was ______,
whatever applies.

Self-blame comes into play due to the young ego, which believes it has all power and rails or withdraws against trouble. If you blame yourself for anything that happened to you, tell that to yourself. Apologize to yourself. It wasn't your fault. You were just there. You are surrounded by loving energy and beings; ask for them to help you with grace and ease.

These items result in a loss of security, self-esteem, ambition, etc. The ego screams "I should've/would've/should've!!!! Real men/women _______________. Real men and women don't let __________ happen to them." Etc.! It never ends. It is the monkey cage spoken of in Eastern meditation literature. You are now stilling the monkey cage...

-Adulthood

When hitting puberty, significant, deep emotional responses (lack of security, self-esteem, etc.) can eventually become blended with the sex drive, and sex replaces intimacy. True intimacy is to be very happy in anothers' presence, looking into each others' eyes, not having to say a word. True intimacy is wanting to learn and learning what makes your partner happy and doing it lovingly, and not for any hope of return on investment but to quietly know they are happy. Their happiness becomes your happy partial responsibility. It's also knowing how to receive as well as to give. In intimacy, it flows naturally. Two persons helix...are able to communicate through ego drama and demands, recognizing them and laughing. They are able to overcome ego demands for isolation and lashing out, when injured. Thich naht hanh, in "True Love", discusses the sword which cuts the Gordian knot during relationship trouble. To go to the loved one and say "Beloved, I see you are suffering. Tell me, what can I do to help you?" And as well, "Beloved, I am suffering. Please help me!" This is humility. It overcomes the following ego issues:

Lack of self-esteem drives one to set aside their own integrity in hopes of being valued (which only produces a momentary sensation, which must constantly be upped. Others get tired of feeding such a "black hole" and leave, resulting in even worse self-esteem.). If you are suffering from painful relationships you may have to admit that you need your own self-esteem, that it cannot come from others. This is something you may have to begin doing for yourself, whilst stopping expecting it from others. (Self-esteem is built through doing esteemable acts, from forgiving yourself for having suffered and for having ever been weak and vulnerable, and again, from doing esteemable acts. Get thee down to the soup kitchen and contribute your time...go to an orphanage or old folks' home and tell stories, spend time with the invalid, etc.)

Lack of security can result in the same sorts of self-demeaning, self-destructive behaviour. The cure is to again, help others be secure. You get what you give. Forgive yourself for not being powerful enough to control your security, because perhaps no human can be fully secure in the material realm, the realm of constant change. You can find security in a group, if you do not lean upon them, such as a hobby group, recovery group, etc. You may wish to ask your Guides to help you in this but always, with grace and ease. Again, you may have to recognize and acknowledge a personal lack of security (especially about loss; the ego is afraid of losing what it has and of not getting what it wants). You can tell your Guides, tell God, tell your favorite higher power that you are afraid of these things, and request help. Just admitting it is a big step in the right direction.

Ask them to take your fear, to build you where you are weak. You might encounter situations designed to highlight a particular knot you must either stop or be willing to begin. Ask for ease and grace in this time, in all your growth and cleansing. Admit if you are weak. Admit if you are frightened.

If you are not taking care of yourself, hoping others will do so, you need to recognize it, admit it, and be willing to begin to do so. You will be assisted. If you are harming others, you will hopefully wish to ask yourself why and be truthful to yourself about the hurts and resentments driving you. If you are resentful, ask yourself what is behind it. Is your security threatened by something? Is your self-esteem injured, feeling less than or countering that with pretending to be more than? Just be willing to admit it, which starts the release process. It becomes easier and more comfortable as you repeat it. And we are taught that we can do it all alone, by and for ourselves. You may have experiences countering this "wisdom", and can ask your Angels and Guides for help with things you CANNOT do by yourself. This is the positive hierarchy. If you need help and ask humbly and get out of the way, and it is appropriate, you will receive some measure of help, if not always exactly what you WANT (ego), what you NEED.

If you feel unloved, remember why, then do something loving for another, anonymously if you can.

If you feel hurt, comfort someone who is also in pain.

Yes, this is building to the St. Francis prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

For humility is the answer to ego suffering. Service is the answer to self-obsession. You will find examples of this in all great spiritual paths. Seek them there if you wish!

Blessed Be.

Another sign of the shift to positive energy will be

2011-10-03T18:18:00.000-07:00

that higher principles and standards just feel right, and are ever-more desirable. This is the 4th and 5th vibratory dimension energy coming into higher presence in the world, and equality, freedom, peace, democracy, support, love, courage, hope, and other higher principles will feel more and more natural, no longer theories and dreams, but real, sensed, ways of living. Mass rejection of old tactics of brutality, conniving, greed, gluttony, and selfishness will become more and more visible. These things are already visible today and will only grow. The old negative energy may push and shove and perhaps even do something deplorable (or two), but it is the death cry of an obsolete way of life. It is natural for them to be afraid, sensing the ground breaking up beneath their feet, their malfeasance ever more revealed in the news (even the media they own)...and they will act out. Do not be afraid, for their actions amidst the new energy will show as desperate, highly undesired, and yes, the acts of the obsolete now moving out of the world. There is much support if they wish to join the positive direction so please send them love and compassion.

Do not waste your time in upset or fear. You will only manifest these in your life. Continue to recognize fear and negative issues bubbling up in your life; this is the cleansing process continuing unabated.

I am excited, I am exhilarated, I hope you are as well, or shall very soon come to be! Ask for guidance, clarity, perspective, insight, support, what you need to make your life its best. Loving angels and guides are right there with you, they stand at your side waiting for you to request their help and guidance!

Blessings!

Crisis

2011-09-29T09:50:00.000-07:00

I was taught that crisis is definable. It is the increasing struggle for dominance between two separate directions. It should be increasingly obvious that a new direction is growing and that the old direction must go. Holding on to the old direction will cause increasing discomfort and eventually pain. Letting to and seeking the new direction will bring relief.

This is true at the personal inner level as well as the outer social level.

You are guided and in seeking guidance, will be brought to recognize and feel the correct direction. Always remember that you have to ask for higher guidance...positive beings do not interfere unless requested. Willingness is always a good characteristic to hone during this transition...

Blessings.

Notice the change?

2011-09-25T00:10:00.000-07:00

I have a satisfied feeling...the last week has seen a few social issues take center stage, where they need to be in order to flourish and to leave behind any negativity...and they come to our greater attention through the negative actions of those who wish to rule the world.

-A gay US soldier was boo'ed during the Republican debate, and as wise bloggers have noted, not one of the candidates had the courage to support the troops...causing a bit of a backlash, and a greater passion for equal treatment and acceptance. Coinciding with the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

-Two protests in NYC have merged; the #OccupyWallStreet group encountered a march of Troy Davis supporters and found equal interests and grounds...with recent news that the Koch brothers have made astonishing amounts of money through manipulating gas and other commodities, and that it's costing us while they do it, and regarding how much Americans have lost to Wall Street and their ilk, there is finally enough energy there to create a genuine movement, a response to the destructive corruption...and with Troy, God rest his soul, as well as the recent beating death of a southern gent simply because he was black...with the execution of another who had killed a black man out of racism...and with Morgan Freeman talking about how the "tea party" are simply racists, destroying jobs just to get one man out of his job, racism is taking new hits as it is brought into the light of greater public awareness.

These are the trends and changes based upon the continuing increase in positive energy. That which is not love-based or positive is coming under increasing scrutiny and rejection, at every level. It is wonderful to finally see it beginning in earnest versus it having been for so long merely a topic of discussion. To finally be the visible trend. Because it feels RIGHT. Because it feels like Love.

Peace and Love...

Clearing ego concerns

2011-09-16T16:56:00.001-07:00

Your ego is often most centered upon

The fear of losing what you have

and

The fear of not getting what you want.

Simply recognize these bubbles of energy as they pop at the surface of attention, and they begin to release. Even the general admission that "I'm afraid of losing what I have and I'm afraid of not getting what I want" is clearing.

Blessings...

Surround yourself with joy

2011-09-16T16:33:00.000-07:00

As the systems of negativity continue to crumble/be exposed so that we may choose the positive, it becomes possible to be distracted by the sheer sum of issues in the news, etc. It is important to work on centering your self through this so that you do not get caught up in the energy. I'm working on this as well, as this is as true of internals as it is externals- if something is bothering you or if you find yourself over-reacting, just breathe and know that it's something looking to be identified and then let go. "Yep, that is the fear of..." etc.

The point is to not get caught up in the drama of Change, but in its joy. Even if it takes work to strengthen this into a habit, it is a right use of intent.

What do you enjoy? What do you love? Surround yourself with it, immerse yourself in it, live it, love it. This is your birthright.

Put on your favorite happy movie.

Go out and do your favorite happy thing.

Do it with friends interested in it as well if possible.

Best yet, go out and help someone in need of assistance, companionship, resources. Others' happiness is your happiness. Careful of the ego getting in the way but you'll know the right thing, start small if new to service to get the feel and flow.

The longer you stay in the positive, the more you are getting used to the new world. Do be honest with yourself about anything that is in your face. This is clearing so that all that remains is happiness.

Blessings...

Forgiveness

2011-09-09T14:07:00.000-07:00

From

The following statement is to be carefully read by you and then considered carefully.

If acceptable, ask your “Wisdom of my Being, the Wisdom of my Body, my Heart, and all that are involved in any way, to accept and implement this intention with True Holy Love, Namaste, to be effective in all my life at all times and in all circumstances” and then read it aloud three times to make it fully effective. You must be honest and sincere !

“I [name], with True Holy Love, Namaste, do hereby forgive all who have caused hurts, harm, problems, and emotional, mental, and spiritual traumas to me and to all or any in my families, communities, and associations. I forgive you completely in all ways and in all aspects, in all planes of existence, in all domains, and in all dimensions. Whatever has been caused is now in the past and is of no importance to me now and does not matter to me any more. I am now free of all such causes and their effects.”

“I [name] do humbly and sincerely apologize for all the hurts, harm, problems, and emotional, mental, and spiritual traumas that I have caused to all life forms, including all that were knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally caused, in all my life including all past lives of myself and all in my Soul families.”

Deleting the dollar, restoring the Village

2011-08-31T13:40:00.000-07:00

America is coming into a time of greater spirituality and this is partially driven by the falling dollar. There is specific spiritual meaning to this. Communities are tightening and are helping their needy. Daycare costs are causing parents to consider new solutions. These are only two signs of the current shift into spirituality. Extended families should consider joining resources. Groups of parents should create daycare where children would have more than a single adult. These are returns to the concept of the village. It is also hopefully a solution to the "nuclear family", as it is a self-destroying function. Together, parents have a better chance of learning to parent. Parented together, children have a better feel of community and are able to learn from those who have what any specific child needs. School is then merely an extension of these principles.

Or would you rather have a BRAND NEW FLATSCREEN PLASMA TV!?

America is seriously at risk of becoming a second-world country.

2011-08-06T11:20:00.000-07:00

The Maharishi and others have said it, or implied it strongly. America would shift to a spiritual basis and India and others would be the top players economically/productively. Americans need to embrace spirituality, at least, the positive aspects of spirituality. It may be forced upon them from their sheer need of such. I have discussed all of this previously.

I note that gold only fell $15.00 when the stock market dropped over 500 points. (shrugs shoulders)

The new energy has significantly increased this month

2011-08-01T11:37:00.000-07:00

and co-creation is increasing. So are the monsters from the ID, to quote the meaningful movie...

Dear One

2011-07-30T10:44:00.001-07:00

We have seen your suffering, we have seen your hurt.

It is time for you to believe that something else is possible. Something better.

The debt ceiling issue and its repercussions.

2011-07-23T11:11:00.000-07:00

Houses of cards are crumbling, responsibility is ensconsing, and the bad people are working hard to destroy the world's economies and currencies, partly in the belief that they can then own everything, and partly just because they can.

I remind that this year was called "unpalatable", and I firmly agree.

Don't allow the possible depth of trouble if things go sour to sway you from remembering that the positive is indeed on the rise as the new way. It is fixed, it is occuring, and what counts is how we deal with it. The negative certainly won't deal with it "well" as their power evaporates.

What kind of world do we want? It is up to us. Are we out in the streets about the debt ceiling? No, and as such, we don't have an extremely strong "say" in it. If they pass measures hurting people, or worse, just allow republican exclusionism to stall things completely, there will be blowback. Obama is a straight shooter; he said that if the debt ceiling isn't raised, it will be catastrophic. The republicans WANT a catastrophic result. They and their international money buddies are trying to finish what Bush started with 9/11 and later the funding of wall street and bad banks: the collapse of world economies/currencies, so that they can own everything.

A teacher of mine who is much better at this sort of thing once said that it comes down to a struggle between those who just want to live in the world, and those who want to run it.

June is about cleansing and re-alignment to the new energies.

2011-06-15T12:40:00.001-07:00

If last week bottomed you out, it's important to know that it's a clearing and that you need to be responsible for the possibly ugly things coming up from within. To be true about them is to begin or to complete the release. The new world is not for those who demand to hold on to the morbid and negative. Two more eclipses this month will either help or pound you, it's your choice.

The trend to 2012 continues, as does the cleansing of that which is incompatible. This is a path toward joy. Joy requires the release of that which is not joyous. This is a gift, not a punishment!

A bit more on prayer

2011-05-06T12:07:00.001-07:00

My experience, hope it helps:

I do pray a lot and the best prayers for the benefit of others can certainly have a noticeable, positive effect upon you (you get what you give). "I am praying for the enlightenment of all beings" is a good one. But the important bit is that you mean it, put a bit of intent/energy/will into it, or it's just words. I suppose that the same prayer said over and over is chanting to an extent, but I make no claim to have any specific knowledge of chanting as a practice. I "chain pray" because it helps me, and knowing that it helps me, I know that it is helping others.

I don't pray out loud, I intone the words in my mind along with the in and out breath through the nose. It is easy to become distracted by the wandering mind, and the underlying prayer can become flat and one-dimensional, losing efficacy until attention is restored to it.

Peace...

The Trend of the Higher Dimensions

2011-04-15T13:29:00.000-07:00

The Trend so far does indeed display the presence of the Higher Dimension and their Principles and that people are indeed influenced by them and are searching for some sort of higher/better way of living. In America we are waking up regarding the Republican tactics of divide and conquer (noise, distraction, stonewalling, diviciveness, corporate-owned spokespersons) and are becoming sick enough about it to Change it. In the middle east, revolution continues and freedom continues. The Muslim communities will, once free in their own countries, need to find how to get along with the rest of their compatriot nations and also to find a higher way in the world. This of course is fully possible! They can teach us a thing or two as they build in this new energy.

Reaching for a higher way of living is a Trend which will be ever more evident. Even if it first shows as upset and even revolution over the status quo and Things Which No Longer Work. We are Deciding as we go. Decisions reach critical mass and Change occurs.

A quick overview

2011-04-15T13:28:00.000-07:00

We are likely distracted by and focused upon events and changes in our lives. Which is exactly where we should be focused, due to the change energy currently (no pun) at work upon us. It's time to examine and lose self-defeating beliefs and patterns. Ask for ease and grace in this process at this time, because it can be quite harsh and seemingly merciless. It is required, as the negative polarity of the ego (basing self-worth upon negativity) is incompatible with the increasingly positive energy.

Change is a double-edged sword. Difficulty sucks, but what we do about it can make us into something even better than before. Note that you may have opportunity to make yourself into something even better than before :/ Face your difficulties directly and they will begin to resolve. Avoid them and they will return ever larger. I don't like it either, at all to be sure, but there it is. It's worth it because it will clear what must be cleared prior to the Establishment of certain levels of positive/creative energies upon Earth.

Why nuclear disaster? Why oil disaster? Why should we suddenly turn our attention upon our short-term solutions to our energy needs (which are destructive)? To cause us to recognize their harmfulness and to desire, as a species, a better solution. This as always is where Change occurs: when enough of us form a critical mass and Decide upon something. There are two ways to be: living with the Earth, and living against. Time to Decide.

This is also imperative in American politics. The Republicans will NOT bow to any measure of bipartisanship unless forced (by a critical mass). They will eat our lunch if we allow them. It's what they do, it's all they do. Continued attacks upon the average American for the benefit of The Corporation will continue to polarize against them, the average American, including some who have previously voted Republican. Obama quietly allows them to be seen as what they are, as PC said, giving them enough rope to hang themselves. Seen as obstructionists to those who simply wish to live their lives, they lose favor and increase their standard campaign tactic of noise and dissent (divide and conquer). Newt hasn't learned that things are Changing...yet. Ye Olde Republican Noise Machine, shudder and be still. Americans now recognize and are becoming sick of your pure, selfish divisiveness.

Glenn Beck may have a public episode as his pressure-cooker belief system reaches a critical point. Everyone currently has the option to let go of problems (again, they're in our face for exactly that reason) but not all will be aware, or choose to take the new direction.

Change will continue in the Middle East, and those who have found self-government will still have to deal with tribal factions and religious differences. Such are the issues in self-governing: how to do the best for the most without snubbing anyone. Yes, there are purposeful troublemakers in the US and elsewhere looking to derail the freedom Trend, and not all coming revolutions will be peaceful or quick, but all are worth it. These changes will continue to effect the entire world, both spiritually and financially.

Sorry, this is longer-term than merely April, but April's RAM energy is appropriate to apply in the fight against those who truly wish to establish a corporate state in the US.

Advice? Fight for what requires a fight. Pray for what you wish to create for yourself and others. Detach from drama at all costs, and greet it with a genuine outpouring of love and light, to shift it to a higher level/keep it from derailing you. You wish to create a higher vibration/better life for yourself? Create it through direct effort. Time spent worrying will now only create more worry and feed into the problem. Send love and light where needed.

Holy Creator bless and keep everyone...love and light be yours forever.

Inner Revolution

2011-03-24T13:48:00.000-07:00

Change continues and is healing our self-relationships. Negative ego considerations such as self-pity, victimhood, and irresponsibility are being cleansed. So...

We are not taught to have a relationship with ourselves. We have been lied to, told to always respond to externals, to always seek externals, especially Authority. It is time to accept that externals are not fulfilling you, and that the direction you seek is found when you connect with your inner desire, your inner self. Treat your Self well. Take time for it. Honor it with gifts of love (tell yourself you love your self, tell yourself that I put myself first). Selfish is not bad in this case unless it goes too far. Turn off the TV and the radio and spend time telling yourself you love it, and take it out for flowers, for nature, for film and dance and acting and everything beloved to you. Be thankful for YOU. Smile at yourself in the mirror. God doesn't make mistakes; there are just things we have yet to learn.

A good meditation is to sit in a chair, close your eyes and paying light attention to your outbreath through your nose, say solidly in your mind with each breath, in each direction, "SELF LOVE". Sit through any discomfort and do this for a few minutes each morning and evening. Yes, stop and do this. It will help. Do it a long time if you feel the extra need, if sadness comes up. Do it through the sadness, in spite of it. To go an extra distance, visualize that your outbreath through the nose sends SELF LOVE to all beings in the Universe. This is very powerful and truly works. It can be adapted for anything you feel lacking, or simply wish to give to the Universe. You can visualize "SELF LOVE" in those words going out into the Universe.

This is looking to become quite a unifying struggle.

2011-03-09T10:29:00.001-08:00

And of course, victory over such monstrous agenda will in itself produce Hope. One step back, two steps forward.

Well...

2011-03-08T14:28:00.000-08:00

What we do with our lives is not fixed; the negative outcome of the late 2010 election shows this. So, a note on what the Republicans are giving us. So that we may better choose what to do with our lives.

Scott Walker is part of the corporate/international money scheme of disaster capitalism and the "new world order". Of Gingrich's Contract On America and Reagan's masters working to destroy the middle class in order to have a class of kings and queens, and a class of frightened, throw-away puppets.

This is what they've been working for, for decades. This is not going away, they are not going away, they are working as they have always, albeit more visibly and more staunchly. They have no intention to budge because this is an orchestrated, systematic attack upon the weak spots of our country's superstructure. Any single victory in the courts will be taken to every other state and hammered at until they win.

They are robotic and utterly predictable, to act in their own best interest and to not budge, unless it is to allow them to come at the same issue from another angle. In the Reagan years, Schlafly and others were very bold and up front, expecting the majority to simply vote in their agenda. How could the majority disagree with their agenda...but they did. Now they work at destroying that which stands in the way of their ownership and abuse agenda, through phony grass-roots movements, through the courts, through sheer obstinance. Obdurance. They don't have to budge because they can literally out-wait any challenge/response. They've succeeded in such many times in the past. "It worked so well before; let's use it once more." -Front 242. Look for them to simply attempt to out-wait any response to their hard-lining. They'll act as badly as tantruming children when they know that they can get away with it. And worse.

And in the next two years, watch for Americans becoming more and more sickened and outraged by such SELFISHNESS. At the suffering Republicans unleash (or attempt to unleash) upon our country. Watch for people to continue seeing things as it is, not as Republicans wish for them to see (SADDAM WAS PART OF 9/11!!!). Things can change in America, but we have to WANT IT TO.

Watch for the Republicans to give us many and deep reasons to WANT IT TO.

"Look around and sense the joy welling up, becoming the Standard."

Positive change can sometimes leave us breathless

2011-02-03T11:11:00.001-08:00

because change can be uncomfortable...what happens next? Will it be negative? What fills the void left behind?

When countries rise up and demand Democracy and a better way of living, the old is left behind. We're used to the old; its absence/falling away can almost cause grief, it's so familiar. The important thing is to remember that positive change is occurring and that the new directions need positive energy and follow-up in order to well continue.

We are shaking off the fleas; how nice it will be to no longer itch and be bitten. Almost a "What's missing"? condition. Look around and sense the joy welling up, becoming the Standard.

For the worried

2011-02-01T11:26:00.000-08:00

Some are discomfited by the open-ended nature of the Shift; "possibilities are endless, you can create anything..." WHAT do you want to create? Will it hurt? Is there a trick, or a trap??? What will happen if I am responsible for everything in my life?

Where to start in an infinity of possibility? Right where you are. What would you ADD to where you are? What would you like to be different? Take baby steps if uncertain. You can start the process of creating a better life through small steps, in identifying what you'd like to change for the better, and putting into it, time and energy. Will it be hard work? It is about willingness and excitement. The Shift itself will help bring you into a more positive place from which better ideas will come more and more easily.

If you are uptight, relax into the Shift. Our birthright is excitement, joy, inclusion, creativity...You can have it, it is yours, and it is wonderful.

Change occurs most easily, the more minds are involved.

2011-01-25T15:11:00.001-08:00

Items such as the Giffords shooting have caused a large spiritual change in the country, even if it is not yet fully visible. We are more determined to have a country in which such things do not happen, and/or are understood/healed/prevented before a problem may occur.

We can grow from everyone carrying Hope (we did for two years) and now, back for some polarity swings and the associated determination to do better, to be better, to paraphrase the wonderful words of Gifford's husband.

Trouble brings out our compassion and opens our hearts. Makes us determine to be better, to live better, to seek a way to live more in line with the positive.

Welcome to the cleansing of the deep deepies.

2011-01-17T15:17:00.000-08:00

Self-destruction now becomes the logical result of those thoughts and energies. Self-hate now produces self-consumption. Fear begins to ping itself, regardless of external input. Broken faith begins to become a deal-breaker. That which a thing is, increases.

Those with choices to make on such matters should get to it, and to request spirit assistance and willingness (with grace and ease, of course). Often simply admitting such feelings will result in their release, or the beginning of their release.

As always, the most important thing you can have is a relationship with God, or one of the Great Avatars and God through that. This is most especially true if you are beginning to fall through the cracks.

Positive change occurs

2011-01-12T11:29:00.000-08:00

Positive change occurs as quickly as it takes for great numbers of people to choose it. Sometimes it requires a bad example or two for such to occur, but it -is- happening. I see media eventually changing into something that can convey true human interest subjects and tales of overcoming and becoming better, of finding and maintaining better ways to live.

Effects of the Arizona shootings

2011-01-11T16:17:00.000-08:00

Prayer and healing to all involved in the tragedy.

Her husband said, "We're better than this. We must do better."

Sadly, sometimes it takes tragedy for those effected to choose a better way. Hindsight is easy, but this tragedy has gripped the nation more than such things usually do. The depth of compassion displayed and the depth of disgust of the right wing hate-mongers tells all. If you are watching the trends, this is part of the overall change towards a higher way of living, of concern with "how to live" itself. We are tired of the negativity and of the barely-concealed selfish, destructive desires of the money'd/right wing. This is how it begins to move into something better, through enough people firmly saying "NO". We lost a chance for this in the October 2010 elections, but more will occur, sometimes sadly as this. The issue is getting enough of us to really say "NO" to outmoded issues and to say "YES" to something better.

Again, prayers and healing to all involved and effected by this horrible event. My complete apologies if I am out of line in utilizing it to make a point about the overall positive direction...because that is half of the intent of this blog. Peace.

2011 is coming up.

2010-12-24T12:01:00.000-08:00

Starting the year with a lot of energies...we are being pushed/led to higher ideals and the far more pleasant manner of living they cause, disconnected from the past...note that some spiritual texts mainly describe how to live; this becomes more of a concern due to our Koyaanisqatsi and growing realization that we must go another way. The weather is revealing itself as an increasing hazard, one which must be solved. There will be growing awareness of the problems we face, such as this, and empetus to observation/organization/solution. Some new ideas will show up thanks to the presence of the Higher Dimensions and their associated genius. "Why didn't anyone ever think of that before, it's so obvious!"

But all in all, more proof of higher vibrations, the desire to be in them and to stay in them, of the desire and need to move into them as the standard. Fighting from those who cannot change, will not change, I don't wanna, you can't make me... Deeper insight into the malfeasance of government and government-related actions and agencies. Some shocking. PC said that Obama wouldn't go after BushCo directly, and IMO has likely prevented some harrowing info from coming to light too early (pun intended). All things in their time. Doesn't the military/industrial complex take about half of the governments spending? That sort of thing won't disappear overnight, but will diffuse and slowly break apart in the increasingly positive energies.

There will be more people realizing that there IS hope, that something better can be created and best of all, =maintained=. Which makes very important solving the problems in its way. Increasing love for the Great Mother Earth and voices raised toward caring for her more completely. Initiatives may begin regarding neighborhood care/upkeep, and co-op farming, which are things which should increase significantly, if you consider them at all. Food prices are becoming ridiculous, and there are increasing shortages...grow your own. Start another generation of Victory Gardens.

"Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany[1] during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil "morale booster" — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. This made victory gardens become a part of daily life on the home front."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garden

This because of need as well as the increase of "good ideas". In beginning to work in a more communal manner, we become included and empowered, and satisfied as to a better way of living that we are making our own. Thus America begins some level of spiritual enrichment, as predicted by the Maharishi and Yogananda. This will be important especially if the cost of oil continues to rise. Transportation costs equal higher goods costs, and food is key. Those hanging tomato plant growers as seen on television are looking more and more interesting :)

I'm not talking instant revolutions here, but the continued birthing of positive trends amidst the absolute of increasing positive energy. Trend-watching is a good way to gain some level of insight. Those who doubt the "2012" energy thing may gain a greater belief, and hopefully some happiness regarding it, as it's good news for those who want something positive (or at minimum, the groundwork for something positive to be created). It's easier and easier to make positive actions "stick", to take hold and to gain empetus. Forward-driving energy is the important thing, combined with positive intent.

I've got to work upon this sort of thing; I don't care for the ephemeral much at all either. However, too much information can cause a lack of work if it is believed that a particular direction is guaranteed. The 2010 election should hopefully make it quite clear that if you want something, you're going to have to get out and make it happen. Input begins to equal output.

What is the world you wish to create? So begin. It is become easier and easier to do so.

Addendum:

One of the main points of the economic crisis the money bastards have brought upon us at a personal and a national level, world-wide, is to work upon creating any amount of self-sufficiency you can engender, including food co-ops with others, barter for skills and services, etc., and to WORK against corporate takeover of everything, which is of course what they're after. Self-sufficiency and co-operation with others at this level obsoletes the old meme of selfishness and Kontrol.

The thing about apocalypse

2010-12-23T12:56:00.000-08:00

is that it's easy to crash and burn. To take the time, energy, and responsibility to avert it and to create something wonderful is of course the direct opposite. Especially regarding responsibility.

The Law of Transmutation of Energy

2010-12-07T13:07:00.000-08:00

A field of high frequency energy will uplift all present lower energy fields.

This is as simple as choosing to side-step a bad mood by praying your gratitude for what you are thankful for (even and including the bad mood), and as complex as the story shared by Thich Nhat Hanh...in Viet Nam, a battle was taking place between the Viet Kong and US forces. Four monks were walking across a small bridge through the battle, right between the two sides. The fighting slowed, then completely stopped. The monks continued on their trek.

If you are hurting, angry, or in any amount of negative/dark energy, put on/pick up your favorite comedy or your most passionately loved film, book, or music. CHOOSE to connect with it.

The same goes for going out and being of service. Make a sandwich and cola for the local homeless person(s).

Send a bit of money to charity (especially if you yourself are in need). You're online right now; try the local mission, food bank, Red Cross, women's shelter, Salvation Army or Goodwill...

Pray for the benefit of all beings, or especially those suffering from the same issues you seek to clear. A single skillful act of caring can make all the difference in the world.

Most importantly, seek and approach God as you know how. God is all light, and returns your attention in the form you present it. Simply for the joy of contact (or even attempting contact), this is the most powerful transmutation available, of which I am aware. That, or helping another to move towards such contact...a few happy "Praise God!"s a day don't hurt. You are praised in return.

CHOOSE the positive energy if you are having difficulty, regardless of your state. Practice this, build this muscle. Stay in lovingkindness, joy, and hope. Pray it for others. Go out and do things to create it in others.

Be blessed; you are beautiful even if you do not yet remember it.

All the rebellion

2010-11-30T14:11:00.001-08:00

means that the 2010 "this isn't good enough" energy has not been tempered by enough light/positive intent, and has "gone rough". Please take time to pray the light into human affairs as often as you may.

People not yet clear upon the meaning of the new energy and choice

2010-11-09T12:56:00.000-08:00

have created a couple of years of struggle and upset instead of hope and an overall positive. It was possible to avoid this.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=245x126144

It requires an actual dedication to staying in the positive, and to focus together on the positive. Of course, the resulting struggle will produce both Democratic and Republican progress to each of their respective goals, and a greater need to, at the next election, to focus upon the positive, instead of giving in and simply reacting to the republicans.

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO GET OUT AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

2010-10-14T15:40:00.000-07:00

The fall 2010 elections are a critical time, and =we= must vote, we must get it together, we must demand a higher way of living, or it could fall back the Republicans, the worsts aspects of the Republicans, to be direct. An increasing destruction of social services, privatization of schools and service infrastructure (teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc.), and the formal establishment of corporations as our leaders.

This can happen.

It can also easily go the other way, to an increasingly joyous way of life. Please get out there and vote. And please mobilize each and every person you know to join you. Offer to carpool. Find different ways to get everyone to go together (plan ahead to go together). Seriously.

10/10/10

2010-10-14T15:35:00.001-07:00

The latest portal has come and gone; a lovely new energy and with it, an even greater co-creation/responsibility/feedback/manifestation power. I will expect more and more folks getting off their asses, if they've been waylayed by self-pity and fear. Items such as hatred and vendetta are causing increasing discomfort in those harboring them, and will of course continue to increase to the point of incapacity unless considered and new behaviours are chosen.

There are at least two more major portals ahead; that of 11/11/11 and 12/12/12, although the big effect regarding December 2012 is said to happen around the late third week or so. I'm not an expert on this and am reporting what I have perceived, and I find the "portal" theory to be correct.

Halloween and What to Expect in 2011

2010-09-26T13:09:00.000-07:00

As we move ever closer to the exceptionally amplified manifestation energy of post Dec. 2012, that which we intend or even entertain in form, gains reality. Dressing up in negative, destructive form begins to become a bad idea, as does being a fan or horror films and literature, no matter how cheesy and unintentional, regarding true negativity. Actually -making- a horror film or writing a horror story will begin to attach to you such energies, depending upon the strength of your mind and your passion in general.

I know, "boring", shut up old man, we're just having fun. Well okay, then. These things will rather not show up as issues to the majority for another year or two, but I can already see the general energies brought into being through such things.

What would happen to entertainment in the future, in the new energy? I suspect that methods of communication will shift toward the dispersal of genuinely useful information and knowledge, and stories of joy and community, and positive work and goals.

Just your random Sunday morning thoughts. As the general prediction for 2010, of "This isn't good enough, what do we do to change this" having proven out, it's almost time for the general 2011 prediction...which will be of increasing genius thanks to the extant 5th Dimension; look for great ideas, seemingly obvious ones, great solutions to problems, a trend toward problem-solving in general regarding the world and world situations social, political, and physical; the shaping of greater communities as we begin to realize both that we are all kindred and that our solutions are for and benefit everyone; those who strike out in destruction becoming more and more unpopular as we begin to form into something slightly more unified than today, and their destructive actions and goals becoming their own dissolution (this was said by a teacher of mine years ago, and it remains true, of course, that the negative will become less and less popular as people seek solutions other than fear); the concept, conscious or not, of joy being our birthright and movement to seek it out; some sort of trouble or natural disaster which will as always, bring out our sense of "we are all kindred", increased compassion and charity, and work to heal the sufferers; increasing demonstration of global warming, although global warming might yet be stilled by effort both physical and spiritual; and on that note, of course, prayer becoming more and more powerful; the positive religions and practices gaining some bit of visibility, and the opposite for the selfish/fear-based; and that, in general.

Not very specific, and only off the top of my head.

And with the advent of the 5th Dimension, we will find a greater awareness of the problems facing us

and a greater depth of acceptance and responsibility regarding them, an improved process regarding facing and solving them, if even to a small degree.

I haven't looked at the outcome of the November 2010 elections as i consider the =process= of getting up and getting together for positive purposes, to be the over-riding important factor. If we don't get Democrats elected this fall, THAT will drive us to gather together and WORK for the positive change we require.

Considering how we hid behind our couches for the most part during BushCo, this new trend will become visible in comparison. And necessity!

I wish to reinforce how very important is the process

2010-09-17T10:48:00.000-07:00

versus the outcome. It is very important for us as a group to have the same goals, and to get to work for them, each and every time we want them.

Consideration of the shift regarding the mental and physical planes

2010-09-15T13:41:00.000-07:00

The mental or causal plane is the true plane, and is where exists the potential for immortality (continuation of self-consious-ness after physical death, among other issues in the lower Astrals). Manifestation occurs as a result of mental determination and focus, followed by enough action to bring the focus into form. The physical plane is far more dense and it can take a monumental struggle to bring about our desired manifestation forms...but the thing is, with the vastly increasing energies and the "falling of the veil", so to speak, that the "distance" between planes is indeed reducing, dramatically. Creation and creativity are to a great extent the meaning of life (especially love-based, of course), and it will become more and more obvious that the physical is indeed becoming far more responsive to the mental.

Which of course is why the subconscious and karmas must be cleansed before we are subject to the conditions of faster manifestation...although it can certainly be sensed already, and used to determine where your life is not in line with your hopes. Things which are seemingly firmly in your life, but which you do not want, are sometimes your own creations, through thought loops and nesting of which you may not be aware. Previously posted mantras such as "How am I creating this?" are becoming more and more useful, and success in releasing harmful ideation ever more simplified.

For example, if you have been living as a victim in order to gain attention and to thus feel some amount of false self-esteem, it is time to perceive this and to let it go. Self-esteem comes from doing esteemable acts.

What we think is indeed real, and it even goes back to Christ's warning that to even think about selfish, harmful action is equal to doing it physically (I believe this was stated regarding having thoughts of infidelity).

Love to everyone. It is the base from which we must spring.

As the world nears 4th and higher dimensional vibrations

2010-09-08T10:22:00.000-07:00

the veil will indeed drop more fully. The higher-vibrational beings who are sending so much light (and are indeed so much light themselves) will become easier to notice, if only by effect. Have you asked the higher beings for help transcending yourself and your circumstances? If you can truly STOP CONTROLLING/FIGHTING all of it, you will have no question that you are being helped by loving, powerful beings who WISH to help (we must ask- positive beings always wait to be asked, unless there is Guidance etc. involved).

It is an amazing time and we are so very lucky to be a part of it.

(hug)

Gratitude is a very powerful tool for bringing things into a higher vibration.

2010-09-07T13:11:00.000-07:00

You are greeted by God and the Universe as you first greet them.

"Some humans fight change and do not want to move...

2010-09-01T13:42:00.000-07:00

It may be a case of move or die."

Yes. Those who do not wish to grow into a love-based energy, will find it increasingly impossible...fear is simply not compatible with the new energies/trend.

There is an amazing amount of Help available for any who find it difficult or impossible to let go of the past. Surrendering where you must is a very good thing (definitely a technique for myself!).

The charity prediction continues...

2010-08-18T11:31:00.000-07:00

http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/110376/billionaires-who-havent-taken-the-pledge?mod=career-leadership

The Giving Pledge is the brainchild of billionaire businessmen Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The two of them have teamed up to ask the world's wealthiest people to donate at least 50% of their fortunes to charities. They believe that the richest people in the world can eradicate many of the world's problems through philanthropy. The pledge is not a binding contract but more of a "moral commitment". Individuals are free to donate money to whatever cause they would like. So, far about 40 billionaires have accepted the giving pledge challenge. That's not a large number when you consider that there are nearly 1,000 billionaires in the world, according to Forbes.

I find that the planetary consciousnesses are available for support/assistance...

2010-08-10T13:42:00.001-07:00

Ask Pluto for help in removing, with grace and ease, that which troubles you...don't forget to be grateful!

The Ho'oponopono Prayer

I know this probably sounds quite odd, but it’s part of taking responsibility for what we’ve created and beginning to deconstruct the patterns that we’ve built.

The Ho’oponopono prayer will do the same thing.

First you recognize that the pattern is part of yourself without judging – I love you

Setting your intention and lining yourself up in Unity – Thank you for this opportunity to make things right

Taking responsibility for your part in building the pattern- Please forgive me

Letting go of any responsibility that’s not yours – I forgive you

The cleansing process definitely continues

2010-08-07T14:25:00.000-07:00

...personally and at every level.

Those already in a space of Love and Joy will experience a greater ease in maintaining these energies; I've already said this before, and it of course continues and will continue to become more and more natural.

Those nurturing deep grudges are now required to admit to them, to the hurt behind them (anger coming from vulnerability abused), or the energy will self-consume.

I wish to again strongly reinforce the fact that we are being helped at every level by loving beings of all kinds, and that if we ask for help, and are relaxed/surrendered into actually allowing/accepting it (not easy for many of us, myself definitely included), you will even be able to feel it as old troubles are eased and removed. You have to make decisions about these things, however, as free will is and continues to be paramount. In facing and recognizing any negative personal traits, you may then become willing and determine(d) to stop that behaviour. Your decision is important. Willingness is important, and even a little is enough to begin the process. You may have to become willing more than once, but that's okay. Now is the time to get rid of everything that is holding you back. Behaviours, beliefs, inaction, action, anything keeping you from your birthright of joy. You don't have to (yet) believe that you are truly loved by the Universe, but know that the love and help are there for the asking. (Expressing gratitude is important, and turning around and praying and acting for the benefit of others is paying it forward.)

Surrender, surrender, surrender. As we correct our internals, our externals will change along with them, as a natural result. Trust the process, it's time! If you feel that you are not loved or are unlovable, for example, just say as much out loud, to yourself when alone. This is part of the recognition and cleasing. It works!

Off-topic: Avoid researching my spiritual path

2010-07-28T10:02:00.000-07:00

as I have made a few significant errors which have cost dearly. Everything I have presented here I have found to be true and beneficial; not everything in which I personally have invested time, has proven to be so.

Prayer and work for the benefit of others is the basis of love and compassion, and is the recommended path.

What is, and will be important

2010-06-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

is that we unify in the desire for and actions toward positive change.

Ascension and the Higher Dimensions, again.

2010-05-15T15:36:00.000-07:00

Ascension AFAIU it is about moving into being a physical being who has completely transcended the need to reincarnate upon Earth, or at least into these dimensions for the related learning lessons. Karen Bishop has mentioned that many have moved into a new Universe above this one and that several stay on Earth to act as "Earth Angels" for the planet and those who remain. So far as I understand it.

The Fourth Dimension is "Love", and the lessons therein. This involves guidance/being a guide, community, inclusion, nurturing, healing, and that level of enlightenment. Perhaps (I'm not sure) leaving duality and its related struggles. Sending love to all things, equanimity. I wonder if the mention of the 4th Dimension in the Anonymous literature is indeed aligned with what I am describing...it certainly is about love, selflessness, etc.

The Fifth Dimension is regarding genius and the Wisdom Mind. Connecting to it allows access to major spiritual libraries and also downloads/imprinting of significant amounts of information. Correlation, juxtaposition, helixing...creativity and a huge perspective. When a human taps into this, they tend to leap from A to L or even to Z, fully understanding the interim positions but not being bothered with their work/workings. It can also mean such intuitive leaps without necessarily understanding the interim positions yet still being correct regarding outcome itself. This is also where spiritual students may blend their mind with the Masters, to learn directly (and I do mean Directly).

Also, the Fourth and Fifth Dimensions proffer Universal Rights and Equality.

I have heard it mentioned a few times in different places that "Autistic" children chose to incarnate that way in order to anchor the higher dimensions, and that their particular feats of inexplicable genius are the result of such higher dimensional practices. This makes sense to me but I in no way am approving of this perspective, and have empathy for them and for those who love and care for them. However, if this is true, it is a wonderful thing, very giving.

All I know about the sixth dimension is what I have read-- that the dolphins and cetaceans and whales are the caretakers of the sixth dimensional matrix on Earth. I don't know if that is true, but considering the huge brains on those animals, and their decision to live in joy and play...they certainly must be more advanced than us! (I am reminded of a Bizarro cartoon, a two-panel, with a man in the left side, at a desk way past normal work hours, sweating and straining over a stack of paperwork, and on the right, an ape peeling a banana, leaning back against a tree, with a huge grin. The caption is something like "Guess which is the stupid ape." :)

More about the Cleansing.

2010-05-08T10:58:00.000-07:00

The ending of greed and negativity will be quite stressful and upsetting to many. The cleansing has already begun, the feedback has already increased to the point that we -have- to start being responsible for ourselves, our actions, our thoughts, and our karma. Consider me a canary in the coal mine...take it as true that this is already in progress. Those firmly adhering to negativity will be finding it more and more difficult to simply "be". Karma is coming ripe. Within ourselves, at least this is my current experience, old difficulties will come up and beat us about the head and shoulders until we LOOK at it and examine/admit to our own part. No more nin lyrics where "you did this to me", but "when you left, I responded to it with devastation for my security and self-esteem are low". What is your part?

The more energy we have invested in these things, the more clearly we will notice them coming up. Watch for there to be personal difficulties where people deal with these things (or not). If you know anyone violent, stay away from them for the next few months or so. Also, perhaps be pleased with the obvious growth of those you know, and their new levels of happiness and excitement (which is the way it can be for all of us if we get with the program).

We are in a "cleanup" mode, energetically.

2010-05-06T12:22:00.001-07:00

The increase in Responsibility continues. It is important to be certain what is the cause of any surfacing upset, not who...for we are much the makers of our own miseries. Being truthful to ourselves about what is the problem and what is the cause fulfills the cleansing process, allowing old causes of suffering to be removed.

You can always surrender and ask God to remove them with Ease and Grace...

Manifestation Techniques.

2010-05-06T12:20:00.000-07:00

"The Secret" comes from The Master Key System which IIRC indeed does not recommend emotion as part of the process, but a clear, still mind being an absolute in the process. I highly recommend The Master Key System to all interested in this phenomenon.

I am also reminded of a story in Muktananda's "Mystery of the Mind", where a man sits beneath a wish-fulfilling tree, not knowing it to be that. His thoughts set off in search of stimulating content and he comes up with that he'd be happy if he had a beautiful girlfriend. Pop, there she is. But now he thinks, I have to have a mansion in which we may live. Pop, there it is, and they move in. This continues until he suddenly has the thought that this all could only be the work of a demon. Pop, there it is. "He will eat me up!" he thinks, and pop, into the demon's mouth he went.

"Monsters...from the Id!" -Forbidden Planet.

The general prediction for 2010 remains extant.

2010-05-03T10:50:00.000-07:00

There will be 'events' which will encourage charity and charitable desire, more and more. We have to "rev up" as a species in regard to world-wide consciousness of...the fact that we are all part of a world-wide consciousness, which requires tender loving care and MUCH cleanup, and a chance to heal. We will be charitable to each other in times of distress and even to the Great Mother Earth as we are foced to pay attention to the cesspool we have created. I have read in one spiritual text that Mother Nature is receding from us due to our selfishness and utter lack of care for the planet. Please pray dearly to her to return, that we WILL take care and return the love...but yes, sadly, as we both posted in the "does no one care about the spill" thread, that the pendulum must swing. We had to endure BushCo and an enhanced view of the Negative Heirarchy's penetration into Earth in order to WANT Obama enough to actually elect him. It is all and always our choice, and we must choose to respond to these dark harbingers with love and light.

Here is Change.

1 Corinthians Chapter 12, 1-14.

2010-04-14T12:23:00.000-07:00

I have encountered (worse, am living with) those who feel that anything outside their experience is automatically of the devil, even when I attempt to show them this passage in the Bible.

7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of =all=.
8. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit.
9. To another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit.
10. To another the workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another =different= kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

From the Gideon's Bible because that version specifically mentions "prophecy". Of course the Vedic and other literature of India are full of the Siddhis, where they are far more commonly accepted and sought.

I know that the Bible also warns against false prophets etc., but know that I have been wrong in the past and will be wrong again in the future. When I am, I will say so, and I will adjust what I'm doing as a result. I do not have a Divine Certainty of what is occuring; I am simply reporting what I perceive as best I can, balancing my findings against the passage of time and the correct works of others on this same topic (2012). This is for the benefit of any who wish to use it, and for no other reason, except that I do enjoy the spiritual dollars gained from being of service.

Some who know me, know of my unhappy and unhappy-making past. This site is an attempt at making good, at doing some sort of good deed, on a subject which effects us all, increasingly. I am, as the story says, attempting to feed my white wolf.

"Christianity teaches that within each man, there is a white wolf, and a black wolf, each fighting for supremacy."

"But father, which one will win?"

"Whichever one you feed."

You may find

2010-04-13T13:47:00.001-07:00

(ahem) that any and all old sufferings are coming to the surface and once recognized and moved through, are leaving forever.

The Universe is a rock polishing machine, and we are the pebbles and gems.

Now is the time to detach from that which causes us harm

2010-04-13T13:42:00.000-07:00

and to focus upon that which brings us joy.

It is oddly that simple.

In the last few days, the old guard have lost a great deal of their "power".

2010-04-01T10:25:00.000-07:00

We are moving into very strong positive energy/encouragement, and I'm not kidding. Very strong. We don't have a choice. The good news is that we are >>pushing back<< at the bad guys, and because of the new energy, =it is working= and will continue to become ever easier. They don't have the oomph of the 3rd dimension so much anymore. Where before they could stonewall and not budge and effectively block progress at every turn...now they have tipped over and don't know what went wrong. They're not used to such things :) They'll have to get used to such things, now :D

Damaged relationships and situations with negative beings are becoming much easier to fix. The positive energy encourages and supports such things. That is the key: The positive energy supports positive action and intent much more now than previously. The Universe WANTS positive things on Earth and if you begin something positive, be prepared for a rush of support, like a tide breaking down your door and carrying you along... This all spells bad news for the bully boys at the corporate, socio-economic, and political levels (and those who are simply outright bullies). The old structures are finally beginning to crumble. We are being carried along to create something positive, something SANE in its place. Change, indeed. Things will not be the same because absolutely, they cannot.

I feel in the last day an extremely strong establishment of 5th Dimensional energy/principles. We are talking the language of the Founding Fathers, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of Integrity, of Equality, of Devotion, of Peace.

It has been one thing to See this all as happening. It is another thing entirely to be living in it as it happens :)

On the increase of the positive and negative

2010-03-30T10:19:00.000-07:00

we see around us.

The GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING energy has all of us working for what we believe in, even if it is destructive. Those who want the positive or even the status quo will be more and more offended by those who may work for destruction. This in itself will bring the change we are driven to work for. There is no more hiding. What we believe in will become more obvious to those around us, for better and worse.

Just remember that there will be more of everything as the energy increases. This of course means that it will be easier and easier to get into the positive, especially when the negative beckons. It's simply a choice, and these muscles will strengthen the more we use them.

I can more easily sense the joy and excitement which has been given to us, if we choose it. Our birthright is present if we wish to REACH and grab it, and to hold on for a wonderful, wild ride. :)

Laugh Yourself Healthy

Georgetown —
Georgetown resident Richard Mullen has spent more than 30 years as a natural health educator, hypnotherapist and student of gelotology, the effect of humor on the human body and mind.
Inspired by Norman Cousins’ 1979 book “Anatomy of an Illness” in which Cousins recounts laughing himself well after suffering from a serious disease, Mullen decided to focus on the study of how laughter and smiling benefit your health. The subject was also explored in the movie “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams.
The mind-body connection is key to the health benefits of laughter, Mullen explained. “All illness is based on worrying about the future and feeling guilty about the past,” he said. “Laughter puts us in the present, the here and now, eliminating fear and worry. It is a universal language.”

On April 1, Mullen will present a class at Northern Essex Community College to teach people how to find the humor in everyday life. The audience will see how contagious laughter is and be able to incorporate Mullen’s “Laugh Yourself Healthy” ideas into their own lives. He describes his program as recreational and is not suggesting you stop seeing your doctor.

Mullen’s “Laugh Yourself Healthy” presentation on April 1 will take place at 2 p.m. in the Technology Center on NECC’s Haverhill campus, 100 Elliot St. Admission is $2. It is part of the Life Long Learning program.
To learn more about Richard Mullen’s programs, which are available for presentation to senior centers, assisted living facilities, civic and social groups, and corporations, visit his Web site at rjmullen.com, contact him at rjmullen@gmail.com or phone him at 978-769-5073.

The Angelic Kingdom wishes to help you.

2010-03-25T13:42:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to chime in for all of my friends, that they know that love and light are indeed all around us now, that the angels hear us clearly, and are there to assist us at amazing depths...the veil is indeed falling and the Holy Kingdom can assist us so very deeply in regard to what the current energy demands: Letting Go. If you want to fly, you must first let go. If you are even willing to examine old hurt (and face it, now is the time!), it will come up and out like never, ever before. If you can surrender it to the angels, they can remove it from you. Fear, hurt, resentment, anger, pain, lack of love, lack of self-esteem, elephant-sized stubborness, all defects and shortcomings and poisons may all be removed. Yes, it is the truth. Trust the Angelic kingdom and ask their specific assistance, in threes if you find it aids your resolve/faith. They are waiting with love and patience for you to ask for their loving care, to do for you that which you cannot do for yourself.

And always ask them in thanks, what you might do for those who are not able...

Peace and blessings!

Passage of the Health Care Bill and the Old Guard

2010-03-25T12:41:00.000-07:00

The veil is lifting. We are in greater and greater responsibility, which can be called Feedback. You get back much more of what you put out. The "old boy's club" finds that the old techniques aren't working so very well, anymore. People are awakening to the need for Change, and the increasingly positive world energy assists the direction of our desire for change. BushCo showed us a bit of how dark it could get if allowed to stand unchallenged. The health care bill passing is the first major event signifying the success of change, and the focusing of the positive path.

In this energy, that which a thing is, increases. The old guard will try and try again until we >>push back<< ...and this time, actually make a difference, to have success in the old struggle against greed and hidden bullies/money/resource structures. Know how many businessmen are shuddering at the potential loss of their health care insurance scams? They'll attempt to make the old way continue to work. And, things being clearer these days, it will appear Ugly, at its true level of ugliness, which makes it easier and easier for people to reject it and to unify in seeking positive solutions. The bad acts of the old guard will inspire those who seek something/anything better. Finally. The passing of the health care bill empowers many who did not expect change to occur. There is an increasing energy of Change, of excited curiosity regarding how much further it can be taken, and what the benefits of such might be.

Things are indeed getting started. Any ugliness will work against the ugly. Remember that as a balm against the actual ugliness. Even the beloved Lotus flower grows out and up from the detritus at the bottom of the pond....both the top and bottom of the pond must be there for it to work at all.

As energy is increasing and our own reactions/perceptions are increasing, when hit by ugliness, remember to immediately get into positive work. Stay out of "that's terrible!" etc. and stay in the light. It's important.

Cheers!

Some thoughts on spiritual law and karma.

2010-03-20T15:34:00.000-07:00

Lifted from an email, to clarify a bit what I'd written on TGS in the predictions thread...

There are supposedly 12 major spiritual laws, ranging from the Law of Transmutation of Energy, that a great positive field will purify any smaller negative field (which is what Christ did for us), as well as Syntony, or more clumsily, the "Law of Attraction", which has been bastardized into a materialistic cliché. Syntony literally means that you will automatically seek and find similar vibrations to your own. Tuning forks ringing at the same frequency. My mystery school teacher mentions that hell is the experience of suffering at the density and most importantly, rate of consciousness of the rocks and stones, which is exceedingly slow, making the purging of negative karma after death to seem to last a geologic age...so beware of your vibration/karma.

And in the increasing energy of Responsibility (or "Co-Creation"/Heaven on Earth or Feedback), that all acts of ass increasingly effect the actor as well as increasing the overall negative field of humanity. But not to worry; the negative is breaking apart due to the above law of Transmutation of Energy. As the world vibration increases (as well as feedback for one's actions and intent/thoughts), the negative types shall indeed experience Monsters from the Id.

And that God is real, and increasingly present. This is a time of astonishing gifts. Or hideous destruction. Interesting to see what will happen at the level of the national and even the city level, as their related energy fields/karma/responsibility increasingly come into play. America, for instance, was founded upon the destruction of the locals, at a horrific level. We gots some 'splainin' to do, for example. And about the enslavement of the Africans...and the CIA getting its fingers into the governments of so many other countries. Individual karma does not exclude to a certain extent the karma of the place a person inhabits. All members of a country are responsible for the actions of its leaders, etc.

March Update

2010-03-20T15:23:00.000-07:00

I find that what the astrologers at democraticunderground.com and those they link to have been saying is correct...and also regarding my late 2009 statements as well.

March is indeed a time of great forward movement, and if you don't get on board, you will be left behind, indeed...my prediction of the early part of 2010 being a time of dis-satisfaction, of "this isn't right/enough" is true. Impetus regarding positive growth/change at every level is building and building. (Should be interesting at some point regarding international relations/relations of subjugate peoples and their oppressors. Iran, be Free!)

Those hanging on to great amounts of hate, of great negative emotional output, will find greater and greater suffering as the feedback of responsibility increases (which is of course the "new age" beginning perhaps just before 2012, depending upon a few variables). Those with great fear/deep trauma are having to face it NOW, and now is perfect as it has never been easier to release such things. The angels surround us and are available to assist at extremely deep levels if you are ready to surrender your troubles and allow them to work their magic. LOVE is present and ever will be...reach into it and live in it; it is your birthright.

It seems that those with the greatest fear began to choose to leave shortly after last year's summer solstice shift...those of us with less fear than that, but "enough", are now feeling the increasing pressure/encouragement to face it with ease and grace. Ask for ease and grace as it is always available, and will assist in your Knowing that you are as they say a much-loved child of the Universe...take up your joy and live in it. Now is the time to live in wonder, to righteously inhabit your birthright! :)

A reiteration regarding the purpose of this blog.

2010-03-09T15:06:00.000-08:00

-To provide information and practices important to those wishing to enjoy the (changing) future.
-To provide a certain amount of proof regarding my ability to sense energy, reinforcing the changes I sense, which will require the above.
-To strengthen my own Authenticity and Integrity through sharing this information.

It seems to me that many of those not already exposed to spirituality are hung up on the second part, the "proof" of my ability to sense approaching energy shifts, and are missing the entire intent of the blog-- that there IS a massive, unavoidable energy shift occurring, and those not aware of it might require assistance in adapting. Do not watch the finger pointing at the moon; watch the moon.

Check the first post for more. God Bless...

Transitory States

2010-03-01T15:59:00.001-08:00

I have found exploration of this in several spiritual paths...from the Japa meditation in Wayne Dyer's "Getting into the Gap" to the practice in sound from the Centering portion of "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones", to the techniques for lucid dreaming, and to the shamanistic practice of "getting behind" things into the true world.

It also seemingly occurs in physics in the very small space between linearity and turbulence, and the same in the behaviour of an audio filter in the tiny space just prior to self-oscillation.

Dyer recommends looking into the space(s) between letters in a phrase. Centering recommends following a sound down into silence, and examining the point at which sound actually meets silence. The decay of a prayer chime is excellent for this. Shamanism relates much of the same; becoming aware of the enormous, silent place when you are in between breaths, immediately after orgasm, the emptiness after the elimination of waste, etc. The place between release and the building of new tension.

Centering:

16. In the beginning and gradual refinement of the sound of any letter, awake.

18. Intone a sound audibly, then less and less audibly as feeling deepens into this silent harmony.

We are surrounded by these gaps, by these transitory states, these fringe conditions. Seek them, and the secrets they convey.

Also, to become aware of the fifth element, Space, or "Volume".

The medium in which all things arise. Become aware of the space between yourself and a cloud. Find the spaciousness of the spirit side through meditation, and carry it into everyday awareness.

March comes in like a lion!

2010-03-01T14:30:00.000-08:00

A personal aside, which I do not prefer to do, but it's fully on-topic...

I was abandoned at birth and raised by multiply-abusive (yes, all of that) adoptive parents who did not even sleep in the same room, was beaten by the local children, sexually molested by a neighbor and once by the local kids, and one event I'm not clear on. I ended up wanting to die, even at an early age, such was the intensity of my emotions and vulnerability. I very nearly died at 13 in an "accident" which I knew was manifested by my desperately wanting to check out.

The point is that, even with six-plus years of addiction recovery only by the grace of a loving God and now one year of successful treatment for "severe" bipolarity, that I hadn't managed (and wasn't willing) to truly face and release the experiences I've been through, and their emotional results/knots. I have been truly powerless in my life, and it has been humiliating, at the least. Horrific, at best. As the AA 12x12 states in the first sentence of the first chapter:

"Who cares to admit complete defeat?"

http://www.amazon.com/Twelve-Steps-Traditions-AA-Services/dp/0916856291#reader_0916856291

With the advent of the energy of the last week, I have been completely defeated, even prayed over and over, "I am completely defeated". Surrender was the only solution for the overwhelm which was upon me. Which I never, ever wanted to again consider. Which very, very nearly was a complete deal-breaker. The fear, the helplessness, the humiliation, the victimization, the self-pity and self-hate...the "pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization." (AA Big Book, page 30.)

I'm through the worst of it, having only survived through ego-puncturing, surrender, the admittance of incapability to deal with it myself. I prayed "I am completely defeated" and it was lifted from me, =as I became willing to release it and to face an uncertain future without it=. Change is uncomfortable, even to and especially for those who have been beaten into a box of comfortable suffering- because change may invite something even worse. We become willing to accept suffering if it somehow prevents even further suffering from occuring.

This is no longer possible. The planets are, according the the DemocraticUnderground astrologer(s), in a place where we -must- change or be drawn down into destruction (and reincarnation in the same sort of situations, but elsewhere). On an energetic level, which is my range of skill, I fully agree with that, and have of course been saying so in this blog as I've also known it to be the trend. We must leave behind any comfortable suffering and be willing to face the new, no matter what it reveals. One of my teachers said that life is like being on a diving board, in the fog. The next step may find you falling, but staying in the same place becomes intolerable. Those of us harboring suffering, fear, and of course, outright malevolence, must now face it and become =willing= to change, or the pain increases, forcing us into Very Large Choices.

Myself? I have posted that the last few days sucked more than a vacuum cleaner convention, and I'll stick with that description. It is only due to my unwillingness to face the truth of myself, of my experiences, of the need for growth into the new, positive energy. If you are reading this, you may very well be in the same place. Theses pages are dedicated to providing you with medicine and remedy for such. Yes, I am taking my own advice, and it's working. I am taking the advice of others (the Anonymous literature/groups) because it works. Everything that I have shared here -works-. I hope that using it will benefit you greatly. Peace, and Praise God!

"Energy follows thought." -Carl Jung

Whatever I turn attention upon, increases.

Now is the time in which to decide to be as happy as you wish, and to stay there through habit!

Warning, Anti-Repulicanism Quotes

2010-02-18T13:50:00.000-08:00

"The intricacies of the modern American heirarchical system provides a natural order for the exercise of sadism." -Fiona Kelleghan, on Greg Frost, "The Savage Humanists", page 26.

"They've exchanged freedom and awareness for some kind of organizing principle or explanation. And it's usually a bad idea." -Jonathan Lethem on the characters of his novel "Amnesia Moon".

"I'm unwilling to embrace blindly that which I've not considered to the fullest." -Greg Frost, "Fitcher's Brides".

Some lovely anti-Republicanism writing in this fine book of short speculative fiction. "The Savage Humanists", edited by Fiona Kelleghan.

Never forget Katrina. Never forget the social, economic, and resource bottleneck BushCo hope to force us into, in order to gain power- and indeed, the very act of creating fear and danger in order to scare people into blindly embracing an organizing principle, one which results in their gaining even more power, such as the "Patriot Act".

"And to me, our feelings are pivotal, as our vibration is tied to our feelings."

2010-02-17T11:00:00.000-08:00

Yes, truly. "Energy follows thought", said Carl Jung, and as you also said, it is to choose to be in a positive energy in order to do both ourselves and the world some good. It's now a choice.

I have collected much highly negative music in my day, as catharsis and validation for my "experiences"; listening to it now leaves me drained and finding difficulty moving out of that energy. What you set your attention upon matters greatly. Positive energy of course follows positive thought, so challenge any lower moods you find yourself in with something very positive-- and then work to stay there. Build those muscles...and see for yourself about it becoming easier to do so, once you've determined to do it and sticking with it for a little while...

Update

2010-02-16T11:17:00.000-08:00

-The rich are indeed attempting to round up all the resources for Peak Oil and Global Warming, that they call the shots thereafter. Pray for the Light to fill them that they may falter in their plans.

-"Heaven on Earth", or Co-Creator energy is already available. Those who wish to grow quickly, or anything else, will feel this ramping up as they put energy into whatever they are after. If it is not visible to any reading this, please consider sensing the trends in order to draw a conclusion, especially regarding the outcome and hangover from sustained, extreme emotions. Have a 2-Minute Hate regarding your favorite negative/frustration. Concentrate; put as much energy into it as you can. See if your energy level goes down for a while afterward, etc.

Now try it with joy.

The thing is, the higher dimensions (Love, etc.) are now anchored on Earth, the vibration is rising in general, but it's not going to be at the point where everyone knows something significant is occuring for a while yet, perhaps even a year from now. What is important is to take action, to determine to be in a higher emotional/energy state, in order to see what there is to see. If you are already normally in Love, and Love for Earth, etc., then you will feel how it has deepened and opened. If you are normally in tension, doubt, or even outright negativity, you can put on your favorite comedy, re-read your favorite book, or just go out and feel deeply, Love for the sunset, for the grass and trees and animal at your local park, etc. Spend time and energy getting into and being in happiness/joy/Love, and you will see how it is increasing.

But you have to make the effort. If you have negativity plaguing you, if you dislike or even outrightly hate yourself, or others (hate for others is usually hate for self and self's vulnerabilities/lacks projected onto others), then you'll need to work to let go of this state in order to be more easily able to spend adequate time in joy, etc. Thing is, you even output your regular state of thinking/beliefs/energy in your dreams, so you may wake with a loss of energy and even a bad mood. Lucid dreaming is not for you, yet. Spend time in contrary action, which is to determine to get into a happier place whenever you find yourself in any negativity. Doing charitable work is a superb method of overcoming any focus upon your own situation. The more time spent making things better for others, the less time you have to spend wallowing, and the more you'll come to -stay- in positive states of mind and energy.

It's worth the work. I say this as someone who nearly tore himself apart at the root level in response to many factors that were completely beyond my control. Sustained effort has made it possible for me to at least be in a place where I no longer dwell. I spend a lot of time praying for the benefit of others using the Anapanasati Sutra mindful breathing technique. It really works.

In other words, you can choose to be happy, or happier. It becomes a habit!

Point by Point on my earlier predictions

2010-02-14T13:20:00.001-08:00

...for those who would appreciate not having to browse the links semi-randomly. Please note that the The-Gas-Station.com and DemocraticUnderground.com posts are for a very long time, no longer editable and remain as originally posted. DU posts are forever uneditable after about 30 minutes. Earthquake predictions are at the end. The end is the most interesting, although all sections apply equally. I apologize for allowing this to become so out-of-date, I have made accurate predictions since, such as the rise of the corporations and that we must fight that condition, and most recently November 2, 2011 when I said on DU that I believe Oakland Mayor Quan is acting out of fear and that I worried that she would make another stupid mistake...and later that night, for the third time, she called in multiple external police departments to tear gas and shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets.

"Quan is frightened enough to do something stoopid and I worry about tonight."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2233080#2233429

However, I need to re-iterate that the purpose of this blog is to highlight what is happening in the world regarding the shift to 2012 energies, NOT to make predictions. The predictions are only for =reinforcing= that what I'm saying has merit, and why.

"I'll be back in another year and a half to ask after gas prices, the economy, and your hopefully fledgling perception that everything is tied together, and that all acts of ass contribute to the entirety of negativity, and as such, hurt everyone."

My comments:

-Gas went up from January 2009 until January 2010, when it fell more than a dime.

-The economy began crashing in something like November 2008 and by a year/year and a half had passed, was called even by Obama "The worst recession since the Great Depression".

-Everything IS tied together. Thoughts are things. Stay positive, if only for your own sake.

"When you are sick of the economy and gas prices and increasing social unrest and change..."

-Social unrest and change are coming, already building in various places. See my late 2009 page here regarding "What to watch for in 2010".

"See you in a year, year and a half. Unless you are willfully blind, you know that the trend shall continue as I've been describing it for several years."

-Yes.

"There are possible exceptions in regard to positive trends vaporizing some of the potential negatives, as we have not invaded Iran, etc. However, change is constant."

-The future is not absolutely set, excepting that we appear to have chosen to make the transition to 2012 energy without "armageddon". However, the dis-integration of energies lower than the 4th and higher Dimensions will be painful, especially for those who will not let go of the old/dark and grow into Love.

"Except to say, the desired result of the process we are undergoing is consciousness regarding taking care of each other."

-Oh, definitely. See: Haitian earthquake and the quickening of Charity. Watch for more.

"Remember, look at the pretty picture and know that it is directly your fault. Act like Bush and you increase the energy base they work from. That's how simple the solution is. Act from love and obsolete the problem."

-Yes. Putting energy into the "old" and dark will increase it momentarily until the greater positive takes hold. During that transition, such actions will come back to the actors. Unpleasant.

"I'm letting the economy and gas prices, and everything related to oil speak for me. You will have to listen at some point. This is already evident to even the most willful tangentialist."

My comments:

-Economy, already visible in the time frame mentioned above. Gas and oil rose again but not exorbitantly, yet oil is still in the hands of BushCo/OPEC. They know about "Peak Oil" and grabbed Iraq, one of the five largest reserves in the world. Note that Iran is another of the first five, and the remaining three are....OPEC countries. Review "Fahrenheit 9/11" for Bush/OPEC ties, and consider what Bush as head of the CIA did against Carter regarding the OPEC embargo, which is utterly similar to what Enron did to California, driving the democratic governor from office. Same thing, same people.

They don't have to charge us out of house and home just yet. But they can any time they wish. Pray that they do not engage in Hydraulic Empirism as well, although Enron were already looking into such. They seek to control Energy and the Resources all people need. If they had smashed the US economy, they would already be in control.

This was recently called on television the worst recession since the Great Depression, and we're not done. Gas prices did their deal and are now moderately neutral, which surprises me."

Could be why in 2006 I provided, in the OP of the TGS thread, the names of a few exceedingly negative texts, for those who are negative to "enjoy"...and to become the equivalent of boat anchors upon them.

"I'm certain that you all started saving and investing in gold a year ago, as you should have."

-I am correct about the economic trend and timing, among other things.

-If you find that I am right about that, consider that I am right about 2012.

"Vast amounts of methane in Gulf spill pose threat

By MATTHEW BROWN and RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI (AP) – 44 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS — Vast amounts of natural gas contained in crude escaping from the blown Gulf of Mexico oil well could pose a serious threat to marine life by creating 'dead zones' where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives.

The danger presented by the methane has been largely overlooked, with early efforts to monitor the oil spill focusing on the more toxic components of oil. But scientists are increasingly worried about the gas that can suffocate sea creatures in high concentrations.

At least 4.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas — and possibly almost twice that amount — have leaked since April 20. That's based on estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey's 'flow team' that 2,900 cubic feet of natural gas are escaping for every barrel of oil.

'This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history,' said John Kessler, a Texas A&M University oceanographer."

Threats to California's Mental Health Budgets
I sadly need to update this list with my earlier statements regarding California's financial and political systems suffering distress and purposeful destruction. I have posted in the DU California subforum and also probably have links in my Journal to related posts; suffice to say, Arnold is very specifically going about the destruction of California, keeping sight upon destroying pension funds, infrastructure such as schools, nursing, fire-fighting, and of course, as I'd mentioned previously, funding for all levels of assistance for those who cannot help themselves.

I have had the unpleasant experience of being forced into a psych ward (shit happens, some of it was my fault, and yes, I knew something was coming at that time) through March and early April of 2009. While there, I told a few of the staff whom I liked, that if budget cuts came they could always find work in the veteran's systems, out of state. Arnold did one set of cuts very shortly thereafter. Now, he is attempting to cut mental health care by some 60%.

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-state-budget-20100515,0,877220.story

"His $83.4-billion plan would also freeze funding for local schools, further cut state workers' pay and take away 60% of state money for local mental health programs."

I have long advised that he must not be allowed to continue, or to run for President.

Fall 2010 Election Results:

Thursday, October 14, 2010
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO GET OUT AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

The fall 2010 elections are a critical time, and =we= must vote, we must get it together, we must demand a higher way of living, or it could fall back the Republicans, the worsts aspects of the Republicans, to be direct. An increasing destruction of social services, privatization of schools and service infrastructure (teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc.), and the formal establishment of corporations as our leaders.

This can happen.

It can also easily go the other way, to an increasingly joyous way of life. Please get out there and vote. And please mobilize each and every person you know to join you. Offer to carpool. Find different ways to get everyone to go together (plan ahead to go together). Seriously.

On the above, my post was unclear about whether the Ides would reveal an event against me personally or on a macro level (I live in LA). I'm not yet good about separating the two; I just sense the energy and report (which in itself is new for me). I'm going to work at separating personal and external, which should be difficult, and in itself revealing of my newbie attempts at such. The key will be to see if the events match up with the timing, until I can nail internal/external. Thank you for your consideration.

Sixth Earthquake Prediction.

Sun Mar-21-10 01:34 PM,

"25. PV: Something about November (or nearby)."

"Just over a day ago I was seeking ahead and two things came to me. 'volcanism/lava' and 'November'...So, 'something about November'. I don't know what it means, although I was again asking after earthquakes."

Fri Mar-26-10 02:21 PM, I posted:

26. I haven't looked closely at November, but wished to add this bit.

Something will CRACK or SNAP...perhaps something big, I'm not sure, but that is the adjective I get on the subject.

This could mean an ice shelf or similar. It would have to be something notable... It is important for those with ability to work against the global issues we are facing, which must be faced."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=245x112444#113680

What happened:

http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2010/1026/Indonesia-tsunami-and-volcano-why-the-region-is-so-violent

Indonesian 7.7 earthquake, resulting tsunami kills more than 300, Mount Merapi sputters, killing some 44.

A triple threat. Several months ago when I went seeking future events, I'd figured it to be more like an even larger earthquake or very large ice shelf calving. Here's hoping that my mistaken time sense (still difficult to do time quite right) has this as what I'd sensed, and nothing more, as it's quite enough. God bless and guide all involved all who are involved in this...

I'm going to stop listing the small earthquakes as they don't prove much. The seven or so major aftershocks in Chile as well. Or my dangerously high blood pressure level of 182 just before the Chile quake. And as stated in the first post in this blog, "Welcome and...", I have done two other major predictions, of the 2004 Asian Tsunami and the late 90's Northridge California earthquake, but I only told one person each time, so it is nigh impossible to use these as credible examples, suffice to say that they are real.

Volcano predictions.

Well, have to add something even odder. I have long worried at potential volcanic activity in the north east, near Seattle etc. This will be of no surprise to those old enough to remember Mt. St. Helen's eruption in 1980.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=245x114394#114420

We'll see what happens there. However, I got a psychic hit regarding the word "volcanism" just before the Icelandic volcano opened up. I won't ask anyone to believe that as I didn't post it prior to the earthquake, but now the Guatemalan sputter prompts me to add it:

Sun Mar-21-10 01:34, PM I posted:

Big volcanic eruptions in Guatemala, Ecuador
By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA (AP) – 2 hours ago (May 28, 2010)

"GUATEMALA CITY — Explosive eruptions shook two huge volcanos in Central and South America on Friday, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes and disrupting air traffic as ash drifted over wide regions.

Guatemala's Pacaya volcano started erupting lava and rocks on Thursday afternoon, blanketing the country's capital with ash and forcing the closure of the international airport. President Alvaro Colom declared a 'state of calamity.'"

Of course there will always be random earthquakes and perhaps even volcanic activity. Try your luck by publicly stating that something WILL HAPPEN or even Could Happen in a certain period of time and see how many times you get it right. Chance will be on your side a certain percentage of the time.

Now, check what I've said here and tally the odds.

I'm told that getting six out of six, with zero prompting or possibility of knowing an answer ahead of time, is pretty much impossible, working from the nearly random.

What does all of this mean? You decide. You can like it or you cannot like it. Note that I'm currently on hiatus as I refuse to take "requests" or to "perform" to order. If this is not enough for anyone, then nothing could ever be. And congrats to those who having seen this, search for any single flaw they would use to absolutely negate what I've done here. That's special stuff. I will certainly be wrong at some point, it's a given considering the ephemeral nature of this skillset. If you wish to use any flaw as an absolute, you are certainly welcome to do so. The 2012 changes shall continue to occur despite your congratulatory conclusions. Cheers.

More Regarding Prayer

2010-02-13T15:14:00.000-08:00

It is recommended that one pray on their knees for good spiritual reasons. I was taught that this is one of two body positions which shut off the mind, the other being the traditional cross-legged East-Indian position, and Zazen.

Placing the palms firmly together entwines the hand's energy centers (represented by artwork on the palm in some spiritual representations of gods and godesses):

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/mpeake/Internet/india-goddesses.jpg

When praying, reach upward with your emotions. Visualize yourself reaching upward to the Great Light, and PULL it down toward you and all Creation.

Even if you are angry at God, shouting such is still a prayer, and is an honest prayer. Just don't mock God. Not good.

Combine prayer and the Anapanasati Sutra's mindful breathing techniques.

On the spirituality of sound and music

2010-02-06T15:04:00.000-08:00

I have started a post early on in my ebolatone.blogspot.com site regarding the spirituality of sound and music, from the technical standpoint. Here are some sound-oriented meditations from the "Centering" section of the book "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones".

14. Bathe in the center of sound, as in the continuous sound of a waterfall. Or, by putting fingers in ears, hear the sound of sounds.

15. Intone a sound, as a-u-m, slowly. As sound enters soundfulness, so do you.

16. In the beginning and gradual refinement of the sound of any letter, awake.

17. While listening to stringed instruments, hear their composite central sound; thus omnipresence.

18. Intone a sound audibly, then less and less audibly as feeling deepens into this silent harmony.

56. With mouth slightly open, keep mind in the middle of tongue. Or, as breath comes silently in, feel the sound HH.

65. Center on the sound a-u-m without any a or m.

66. Silently intone a word ending in AH. Then in the HH effortlessly, the spontaneity.

89. Stopping ears by pressing and rectum by contracting, enter the sound of sound.

105. Enter the sound of your name and, through this sound, all sounds.

Know that Japa meditation centers upon the sound "AH". Tibetan and other practice state that AH is (part of?) the sound of the name of God. The letter A is the most auspicious. Note that many of the great Avatar names contain this sound of God: Yeshua, Krishna, Ganesha, Shiva, Ra, etc.

Moving into the space behind space, through meditation or visualization, intone this sound and join all who do so and glory in God.

Mr. Roberson states:

"Music is the most transcendent expression of energy that you experience in your daily life. Music is the language that bridges all dimensions of existence — intensely personal and gloriously communal — there is no complexity of thought and emotion that music can not communicate. Singing raises your vibration, activates your throat chakra, and tunes your heart. The beat has accompanied humanity’s practice of ritual ecstasy from the bonfires to the dance floors."

"Creativity is your link to Divinity."

The Anapanasati Sutra / Mindful Breathing Meditation

2010-02-06T14:25:00.000-08:00

The Buddhist tradition of mindful breathing trains the body and awakens the spirit. This practice works extremely well; I use the basic technique in prayer ("Breathing in, Let God." "Breathing out, Let Go.", etc.).

Basically, it is attention upon the breath (through the nose), combined with the mental recitation of the given mantras. The stronger you "speak" them in your mind, the better. You may however benefit from not placing too much energy upon them. You will quickly find what works for you. The important part is to sit and truly do this, as it works, and reveals a few major surprises about the body, mind, and spirit.

So.

Inhaling with attention upon the breath through the nose, recite in your mind "I am breathing in long." Exhaling, "I am breathing out long."

Moving further, "Breathing in, I am tranquillising mental activities."

You will find that the body truly responds to these ideas. Note that the experience of bliss is among them; you may command yourself into experiencing bliss.

These sixteen commands combined are extremely powerful.

First Tetrad, Contemplation of the body

1. Breathing long

2. Breathing short

3. Experiencing the whole body (of breath)

4. Tranquillising the bodily activities

Second Tetrad, Contemplation of feelings

5. Experiencing rapture

6. Experiencing bliss

7. Experiencing mental activities

8. Tranquillising mental activities

Third Tetrad, Contemplation of the mind

9. Experiencing the mind

10. Gladdening the mind

11. Centering the mind in samadhi

12. Releasing the mind

Fourth Tetrad, Contemplation of Dhammas

13. Contemplating impermanence

14. Contemplating fading of lust

15. Contemplating cessation

16. Contemplating surrender (or relinquishment)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anapanasati

For further reference and explanations of the practice, see:

The very end of "The Path of Emancipation" contains a slightly modernized version of the steps.

Controlling sexual impulse

2010-02-06T14:20:00.000-08:00

Tibetans teach to view those you are sexually attracted to as mounds of gristle, to paraphrase loosely.

Envision the object of your interest as a pile of internal organs, as bones and skeleton, as veins and blood flow. As you see in medicine, as micro cameras seek internal problems. See them as those internal problems.

See them as any part of the human anatomy and functionality which least pleases you.

I believe that I noted this in the book "My Perfect Teacher".

Some items from "Centering":

64. Just as you have the impulse to do something, STOP.

71. When some desire comes, consider it. Then, suddenly, QUIT IT.

76. In moods of extreme desire, be =undisturbed=.

80. Objects and desires exist in me as in others. So accepting, let them be =translated=.

The Economy

2010-02-06T14:13:00.000-08:00

Always an interesting question.Some here have said that Obama came in with the soul mission to keep things together during the transferrence into 2012 energy, and that he is definitely doing so. The Maharishi wrote a paper titled something like "India to again be the world's power", and Paramhansa Yogananda wrote something to the effect that the East and the West have in the last century traded roles (spiritual/industrial). I am definitely in agreement that Obama has already saved us from perhaps total economic collapse, which would have effected the world gravely, and given the republicans and their worldwide money buddies entry into even greater power. He has worked miracles already. But what of that to come? I don't think that America will return to such a wasteful, selfish "economy" anytime soon, and that spirituality will indeed increase in the country as a result/part of the plan/national karma. I predicted the economy going the direction it has gone (and also that gold was/is a good investment) back in May of 2008 at, hilariously, the-gas-station.com.

What have I become

2010-02-01T14:10:00.000-08:00

Spiritual growth involves contrary action, actions contrary to what the ego demands. Strength, I find, is knowing when you can't do something and ask someone bigger for help.

When a child falls, it is surprised, then may cry, and then it knows to reach out for its parents' help. Automatically.

What have I become, that I forget to reach up for God's help when I find myself weeping on the ground? Over and over and over?

The new energy continues to come in.

The trends for 2010 are becoming visible, if you watch closely.

I'm finding that things are getting a lot easier if you put a little effort (well, a lot) into them. I've gone through a lot of deep personal cleansing in the last month, and it has been thankfully successful. A wonderful trend in and of itself. Of course, anything you put great energy into will come to fruition more and more easily. Try visualization techniques if you are certain of what you want. If you have access to your third eye, turn it upon your mental screen (and be CERTAIN that what you want is what you want! They don't call it the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel for nothing- and warn about its dire consequences).

Of course, this is the perfect time to begin what you've always wanted to do. It's also the perfect time to reach out to God through deep prayer, rousing praise, and meditation. Sit with a straight back and pay light attention to the outbreath, through the nose (Trungpa Rinpoche method).

It's going to be a very interesting year!

And not unsuprisingly, I'm parroting (of necessity of seeing some of the same things) some of what Karen Bishop just said at www.emergingearthangels.com ! Thanks Karen!

Feeling frustrated by recent negativity.

I've not really posted on personal information/experience, but due to the amount of change in myself in the last month, wanted to vent a tad.

I'm frustrated by the lack of seeming positive movement in my life (personally and politically). More importantly, to break that code: I want more positive movement in my life.

This is the feeling which should be starting to permeate the world. It is the motivator to positive change, personal, national, worldwide. And thankfully, due to the Co-Creator energy, it is becoming ever more possible to accomplish. I have had excellent release of old, extreme fear and trauma, and am glad of that despite the discomfort involved in yanking off those particular Band-Aids. I feel better even having written this.

All of these are the actions we take toward our better tomorrow. If you are feeling anything like this, of wanting to be rid of old limitations (or of old limitations slapping you in the face so that you may address them!), you are on the right track. Yes, it's worth it, no matter the intensity of said feelings. Believe me, I've been through intense feelings and it feels far better, having faced them and moved through them.

Chodron's "When Things Fall Apart" is superb for understanding and dealing with these sorts of things. I look forward to the next "you" that you become!

Utopia shall not simply be handed to us.
It shall be built, by each and every action intending it.
