Life is for living, creating, enjoying.....
 
....so let the moss grow on your rocking chair...you've got stuff to discover, explore and experience.

Spring is in full swing, and the Earth reminds us that life involves  cycles of creating and transmuting energy into matter and then from matter back to energy again.

What old cycles are being completed in your life? What new projects are you starting? 

The more we explore this amazing Universe through our other senses, our spiritual senses, the more vast it seems and the more endless our possibilities.  The ability to see how much space there is in our world for our creations is something that we truly understand by experiencing the world through our spiritual abilities and perceptions.

How can we use our clairvoyance to help us create and manifest?

People think that clairvoyance is all about seeing energy. 
They don't think about the aspect of clairvoyance that is so involved in spirit to spirit communication.

As spirit we communicate through energy, with energy, and with what we call energy pictures.  When we are reading someones energy field we are picking up images (made of energy) and then translating them into words. 

During an aura reading there is a dialogue happening between two spirits and energy pictures are flying back and fourth at an incredible speed.  This energy communication happens whether we are aware of it or not.  When you use your clairvoyant ability consciously, you can begin to be more aware of what communication pictures you are creating, and thus more in command of your communication space.

When you decide to create something, the first act of creation is not necessarily a thought or word, but an energy picture.  When you want to manifest something, you start with a picture, and this is the energy picture you show to the Universe to communicate what you want.  As a clairvoyant, you can look at this first creation and deliberately choose to make this image a clearer and clearer message --or communication-- to the Universe. This energy picture becomes the foundation of what you are creating, and you learn to take ownership of it and separate out all other energies in that creation, that energy image, that are not yours.

The next step is to realize that the Universe will now support your request by assisting you in discovering all the limits within that will impede you from having your creation.  As a clairvoyant on a conscious path, you know than when you meet an obstacle on your path to manifesting something great, you can turn within, to focus that powerful ability of neutral observation inwards and discover the limits, fears and non-havingness within, in order to clear them out and be free of them.

Once you have healed yourself of any limits, you are then ready to bring fourth your creation without unconsciously resisting it. When your creations are in alignment with your Higher Self, creating becomes joyful as it is also an endless opportunity to become more and more free of limits and fears.

It is your spiritual birthright to be a creator, and to enjoy it. 
So, nevermind spending another moment in that rocking chair or lazy boy lounger--life is for creating and experiencing yourself as a creative spirit. There are endless possibilities and infinite space for you to be yourself.  When you become increasingly proficient in your clairvoyant ability, you become more in command of both your communication and creative capabilities.

Happy Spring.  Here is hoping that you decide to spring fourth   and let loose a few magnificent creations.

Equinox Message from Ariel Spilsbury,
~Author of The Mayan Oracle and The-13 Moon Oracle~
 
"From many outside sources and observing our own intensely transformational processes within, it is easy to garner that we are in accelerated times of planetary evolution. In this process, one of the essential messages from many indigenous elders, (who are certainly our guides through this process of planetary birth), is this: Gather in community! Meet to share, care for, support and celebrate with each other! Create a heart community. Make a "hive" - a unified field of awareness to draw strength from and offer your creativity to.
 
Create opportunities to gather and concretely vision a positive future together, listen to dreams, dance, sing, cooperate in and joyfully celebrate the process of mid-wifing a new world together. Our need for strong community inter-connections has never been greater and we will be grateful that we have strengthened those bonds through celebrating together, our unified choice to LOVE. There is NO GREATER REASON TO COME TOGETHER THAN TO CELEBRATE LOVE!
 
Even if there are only two or more meeting to celebrate life and our soul choices, an exponential multitude of possibility emerges when we gather. So let's! In whatever form, use this Equinox time to gather together (etherically and physically) a few of your "anam cara"(soul family) to celebrate our wholeness, our love, and to encourage the new possibilities that we want to nurture and grow together!
 
Equinox is a time that nature celebrates in it's perfect balance of light and dark. And because of this natural feature of balance at this time of year, it is a wonderful time to feel directly the pulse of life quickening in all things, and to use this accelerated growth "Turn of Gaia's Wheel" as an "acupuncture point" of enhanced power..."

The Art of Surrender, by Louis Bourgeois, March 6, 2010
 
I have a very close friend who suffers from a very common problem. She lives in the future, or at least subjugates much of her energy to this phantom. She is forever in service to preparation, taking another class, reading another book, wanting some sort of certification or symbol of her readiness to step forward as a healer.

We all play this game until one day we don't. It is the domain of the ego, forever seeking, never finding. It is living in the future, a sure way to keep our power hidden.

Our power is in the NOW, this present moment, and mastering the art of surrender into this powerful present is the only "activity" worth devotion, in my opinion.

It is said that we cannot give up our concern about the future until we have let go/forgiven our past. The need for a future, in fact, is an expression of an unfulfilled past. It's an endless cycle, one feeding the other. In fact we will come to see one day that the past and future are truly simply mirror images of each other.

So we have a dilemma, a true paradox. How do we escape this merry-go-round? The mantra must be "Surrender, Dorothy!" "The Wizard of Oz" is a perfect parable, describing this arduous journey to try to find something that we come to realize we always had.

Your power, what perhaps has remained well hidden by your conditioned mind, has been waiting patiently for you to accept it. In fact it can wait infinitely for you as it arises from eternity. And it is only eternity that could wield such infinite patience, and in this is the secret.

Your power, of course, is not of you, not your human self. It has nothing to do with degrees, credentials, certifications, or what you think you know. In fact all of those things simply get in the way. For you to completely fulfill your spiritual inheritance and wield infinite power, all you need to do is wake up from the dream of littleness.

I know that I am the master of my universe, the king of my domain, and this has nothing to do with what my ego or your ego might determine with its insane measuring devices. This knowing inside of me comes simply from my willingness to follow the Voice that represents this Awakening Universal Mind, and surrender everything that I thought I ever knew.

I was one of the lucky ones in that my attempts to run my world, to create a future, was doomed from the start. Saddled with a wretched childhood, a nightmare of a teenage life, I was delighted at 21 to hear this Voice and agree....did I really think I had any business running my life? Way back then I had a very logical solid plan, my fiancee, my career as an academic, children, house, blah,blah, blah....

We will perpetuate our past, over and over and over again, until we surrender. Even with a powerful spiritual guidance, a deep devotion to as powerful a teaching this planet has ever seen, it still took several decades (not years, decades!) for me to see the sheer absurdity that I had any business interfering with "God's Plan for my salvation and the salvation of the world."

Whether we look upon our world, our lives, and see conquests or failures, or likely a mix of the two, we will come up feeling empty, disappointed. So many that I have spoken with over the years can identify this frustration, feeling stuck, perhaps anxious or depressed, speaking the words, "I don't know what do do with my life...."

That's the moment! If one could stop right there and say, "Perfect! That's the perfect place to be....can you learn to live in that place of not knowing and not needing to know?" If so, another realm begins to open. This powerful perfect present moment contains within it a whole universe. You can live here, very happily! This is the secret garden, the oasis....this is the "place!"

The art of surrender brings with it a recognition of what is real. Eternity is real. Truth and beauty are real. Love is real. These are the divine attributes, what we come into exquisite contact with when we go within. The kingdom of heaven is what we are talking about, dear ones...nothing less than this!

You have heard this expression I am sure a thousand times..."the kingdom is within." Can you trust that this is true and give up entirely any further attempts to find this kingdom, this authority, this knowing outside of you...someplace in space and time (meaning the future)?

To be able to live and truly have no need to control or understand the future is a beautiful thing. It is "walking empty" which is the most masterful thing any of us could ever achieve. And isn't it the perfect paradox that our highest achievement requires nothing but our total surrender.

I love it!!!!!

I once knew a Master of Kundalini Yoga who was a spiritual seeker of great determination. He had studied Eastern esoterica since his early years, fully mastered Kundalini Yoga, and spent countless hours in the ultimate state that anyone can reach while living in a physical body; that of cosmic consciousness.

On the lecture platform, he revealed a clarity of thought and a depth of knowledge that I always found inspirational. Like many genuine masters, he was more interested in teaching powerful truths to help people advance spiritually than in sugar-coating his words to gain popularity.

After he passed on in the late 1990s, he moved beyond the spirit realms, through the higher mental realms, and into the realms of ascended masters, where he now resides among colleagues. Then, to my surprise, ten years after his passing, he came to see me! He must have sensed that my thoughts were focused on him and, at the same time, upon the ultimate mystery in life.

I had been remembering how he used to say that no-one on Earth had the answer to the ultimate mystery in life. No-one, he said, not even the most accomplished mystics in India, had found the answer to WHY life had begun.

The great mystery was that, if the consciousness we call God had been perfection in the first place, then why did God create the universe so that living beings could work their way back to a perfection which already existed? Why start out on a voyage that will bring you back to where you already are? This was the deepest of all mysteries since time began.

He was an intrepid pioneer in searching out the answers to spiritual mysteries, so I should have known that he would see the ultimate mystery as the ultimate challenge. I learned that he had used his new location in the ascended realms as a launching pad to go far beyond; to go where no-one on Earth had gone before. And, he had returned with the answer!

I don't know if I'm the first one in the physical world that he has told the answer to, but I'm sure I won't be the last.

The days of mysteries being kept secret are fading rapidly. In the New Reality, knowledge is meant to spread far and wide, and to empower everyone who is ready. He used to say, himself, that, in these days, the secrets are out and available to everyone.

My e-book, "Discover Your Purpose in Life," will not only show you how to discover the purpose of your inner being and your own destiny, it will take you on a voyage of inner discovery. On this voyage, you will pass through the layers of what used to be unsolved mysteries. At each step, we will go deeper still, always using the question "why" to go deeper still, until we reach the deepest layer and discover the answer to the ultimate mystery in life.

Just imagine what it will be like to wake up every morning and know that you hold the key to the very reason for life itself.

Not just to your own purpose, but the master key to the very reason for the existence of the universe!

When you gain this profound depth of understanding, imagine the sense of purpose and destiny that will be yours each and every day!

Discover your own unique purpose in life now. See how it fits in perfectly with the natural flow of the universe and even with the original reason for life itself. Your voyage of discovery is waiting.

by Owen Waters

In the Middle Ages, most people worked the land. They were peasants who rarely ventured far away from their place of birth, so their concept of the world was quite small. Likewise, their concept of God the Creator was small in scale. To them, God was an all-powerful, wise, elderly, human-like figure who lived somewhere above them and would, one day, judge them in person.

People, at the time, didn't realize the massive size of the planet upon which they stood. To them, most of their universe could be seen from the top of the nearest hill. Today, with cosmology and the Hubble telescope to help us, our view of the size of the universe has been stretched farther and farther.

What we have learned, since the Middle Ages, includes these
realizations:

1. The Earth is not the center of the universe. Apparently, when this was discovered, it came as quite a shock.

2. The Earth is round. This was excellent news at the time: No more worrying that you might take to sea and sail off the edge of the world.

3. The Earth travels around the Sun. This means that, while modern-day life on Earth may seem to be expensive at times, it does come with the added bonus, once a year, of a free trip around the Sun.

4. The Sun is over a million times bigger than the Earth.

5. There are 200 billion other suns in our own galaxy.

6. There are well over 100 billion galaxies in the universe.

7. As big as the universe is, in order for God to be everywhere, God has to be bigger still.

When you view God as Infinite Being, the All That Is, or the Absolute, you have a sense of scale that still encompasses all of Creation, no matter how far the universe stretches. The infinity of Infinite Being encompasses all of space. The 'Being' part of Infinite Being created all of space within its consciousness.

In fact, in a universe full of infinite possibilities, how do we know that this isn't just one of many universes? The possibility that there may be infinite universes in all of Creation boggles the mind further still. If there are infinite universes, then ours is just one small one compared to the extend of Infinite Being, the Creator of all that exists.

The question is, where does the individual fit into this enormous scale of Creation?

As individuals, we each appear as a manifested part of Creation's infinite array of possibilities. However, that's just the external appearance.

The deeper into consciousness you travel, the more you become aware that the All is One. That the infinite possibilities are all expressions of the One. Beneath all expression is just the One, and the One is Infinite Being.

In the 'All is One' ultimate reality, you are not just a part of Infinite Being, you are a viewpoint of the One. Nothing can be truly separate from the One. It can only be another facet or viewpoint of the One.

That means that you are the One. You are Infinite Being.

Now, it may not be appropriate, in this external world of separate people, to announce, "I, personally, am Infinite Being." But, as you travel within, to that sacred space of your inner being, the truth dawns. You do realize that, deep down, that is what you are. You are Infinite Being, and so is everyone else, at the level of their deepest spiritual essence.

Because people are an expression of Infinite Being, the potential within each and every one of us is infinite.

There are no limits to what you will become in your journey back to your original spiritual home. And, there need be no limits in the life that you are now leading.

Society will benefit enormously when such realizations become commonplace. Today, however, the chances are that, throughout all of your life, you have been pressured to be modest. Society has been terrified of the idea that a person might think themselves important. "Don't even think about rising above your station," they cry.

Admittedly, inflated egos can be a tiresome bore, but it really is time to question any social conditioning which places limits upon human potential. A society that encourages all of its members to develop their full potential would be more supportive, creative and productive. Everyone would benefit.

The sooner more people think in terms of unlimited human potential, the sooner they will saturate the global mind atmosphere of the planet with that New Reality idea.

Just think of yourself this way:

"INFINITE BEING, INFINITE POTENTIAL."

Dear Lightworkers,

This passage of time is about transformation to a new reality for humanity.  A weakening of the current rigid structures is bringing about the collapse of the old framework and allowing a replacement that holds a sparkling new future.

Past decisions over centuries have resulted in this confused and deplorable state of mankind.  Schemes devised to benefit the wealthy few at the expense of others, have led to this massive destruction.  Counter measures must be taken now to reverse the flow of the the tidal wave of escalating events.


Elaborate schemes to protect the wealth of the dominant few have made the system complex, containing many layers of protection.  These structures need to be broken and eliminated to allow the new system to be in place?one which honors and respects the privacy and rights of everyone.  The more people who understand the way out of this massive delusion, the faster it can be repaired.  We have a fractured system comprised of falsities and misalignments.


Partake in a journey of magnitude and beauty, defined by the need for transformation.  It is time to be restored to who you are, your true identifies, your inner spiritual greatness intended by the Creator. You came here to serve, to love, to share and to create.  But the drama on the planet was so intense, you forgot who you are.  The illusion was so believable and compelling that you thought it was real.  It feels like reality, but it is not.


Bequeathed to you is the opportunity to share a message of hope and relief to the masses that are afraid and blind. Prepare a way for a new beginning for you and others.  Your arrival is predicated on your decision to help at this critical time.  We appreciate your dedication and we support you in every way.  The time is now and as you liberate yourselves, you liberate the world.

Allegiance to Truth
Posted: 08 Feb 2010 11:54 AM PST

Dear Lightworkers,
Every day, you will find a little more freedom. All the guilt you hold within yourself, combined with your lack of forgiveness, prevent you from honoring yourself. So the automatic relief is to project the suppressed feelings of disgust outside yourselves and onto others. To heal the world, we must heal ourselves.  And without forgiveness and compassion for ourselves; we cannot forgive or feel compassion for others.

There is so much pain and suffering in the world today and our compassionate nature is blocked, like a black, thick fog, binding us and holding us apart; unable to see our fellow brothers and sisters. As you awaken, you can be like the lighthouse, guiding the ships to safe harbor. Bridge the gap between lost souls that they might see one another.

To forgive yourselves, you must acknowledge the indiscretions and negative feelings toward yourself. The ego will resist looking at your weaknesses but do it anyway; without condemnation. Then silently say to the Universe (your God, your celestial guides, the All That Is?whatever resonates with you) and to those you recognize you have hurt, "I want to apologize for my mistakes and my misguided interpretations. I want to be a witness to truth so that I can accept myself and others as they are; without blame or projection."

Believe in yourself and give up your self deprecation. Persevere, be witness to truth and judge no one. Divine assistance to help you right the wrongs in the temporary insanity on planet earth is coming to you. You will assist the plan through making right choices. Believe in no other false witnesses?trust in your divine guidance and believe in us, Dear Ones. We so adore you and promise support without fail.  Give your allegiance to our system of peace and love. Amen.

Pure energy will guide and assist you.  Blessed are you who shine a light and brighten the hopes of others through your own perseverance and commitment.  We smile with pleasure.  Joy comes to those who do God's work.

by Owen Waters
 
Problems are created by the sense of separation which pervades the material stages of consciousness. These problems can be healed by the sense of integration experienced in the spiritual stages of consciousness.
 
A sense of guilt is very common in the material stages of consciousness. In these, guilt can run rampant, causing severe limitation in a person's path of spiritual development. A sense of guilt can spring from a real cause, such as a failure to live up to an obligation to help another person, or it can have its roots in imaginary fears. After all, guilt is one of the many manifestations of fear.
 
For example, a person can worry that they may be spiritually inadequate, even a sinner, perhaps. This creates the fear that God will not love them.
 
Such thoughts are created within the material range of consciousness. However, upon moving into the spiritual stages of consciousness, the reality changes radically. It's as if, in the spiritual world, the opposite is true. Instead of worrying about a lack of God's love, your main challenge is to channel the unlimited love which fills the universe without being too distracted from your daily life by all of this wonderful energy.
 
One of the main sources of guilt in modern society is the idea that humankind once fell from grace, and therefore it is fundamentally flawed. The question is, are we descended from sinners or are we simply part of an adventure where we explore life in a particularly realistic way thanks to our spiritual disconnection? I think that the answer lies, oddly enough, with the Ford Motor Company!
 
The Ford Motor Company has built millions of cars over the decades. Some of them have later been found to have defects. Invariably, serious defects have led to complete recalls of the affected cars so that the faults can be promptly corrected.
 
Now, if a manufacturer of cars can be so efficient in fixing any defects in the cars they make, why would God be any less efficient in fixing an alleged fault in the creation called humanity? Unless, of course, it's not a fault but actually a design feature.
 
God, the Creator of humanity, did not recall humanity to correct the alleged fault of spiritual disconnection. Therefore, it must be a design feature and not a fault. Life as a human is about finding out how to reconnect spiritually under the most realistic and challenging circumstances. And we continually rise to this challenge.
 
The higher stages of human consciousness are all about the development of spirituality. We are entering those stages of spiritual consciousness today, so wavegood-bye to imaginary guilt and move ahead with confidence into the realms of spiritual expansion which lie before you.

NOVEMBER 11, 2009
 
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL DAYS IN PLANETARY HISTORY
by John Davis
 
 
The ancient science planetary numerology reveals many hidden mysteries revealed of magnificent, powerful births for the benefit of humanity. November 11, 2009 is one of those classic dates that may change the course of history in a totally positive direction.
 
The destiny of November 11, 2009 is The Mighty I Am Presence, taken to a new positive personal and planetary level.
 
This Mighty I Am Presence appears again in this magnificent date symbology, the descending pyramid of the Star of David holding the ascending pyramid of the Group Messiah.
 
The manifestation of these powerful energies have absolutely no challenges – a rare occurrence. These magnificent energies will occur on the physical, mental and emotional planes.
 
Contained within the spiritual building blocks of this powerful day is the Star of David manifestation of the Lord of the World meeting the Light of the World. All of these powerful energies are created for the benefit of peoples of all nations.
 
With this planetary manifestation and the power of this 11-11 day, the recommendation is for you to pray on this day for the best of everything and everyone. The homeless to find homes, the hungry to find food and the sick and injured to be healed are possible prayers for you to consider. Whatever you perceive to be the best results to occur on the planet now and in the future is what you should focus on during the 11-11-2009 24-hour time period.
 
 
The law of manifestation is simple:

  1. Think about your planetary goals.
  2. Write your planetary goals down on a piece of paper.
  3. Speak your planetary goals out loud.
 
These simple techniques will assist your goals to manifest on the planetary, mental, emotional and physical levels. Let’s pray on this day to our maximum spiritual potential.
John Davis is the director of Coptic Fellowship International, a modern philosophy based on the Mystery Schools of ancient Egypt. Author of "Revelation For Our Time", John is president of World Light Travels, introducing tours to Earth Power Places.  John is also director of the Spiritual Unity of Nations (S.U.N.) which is dedicated to the "World as One Family".  A major area of John's expertise is Numerology.  He has interpreted over 10,000 personality profiles during the last twenty years of investigation into the ancient Kabalah and related sciences.

Truth Consciousness

Whatever you deal with, whatever you use, wherever you go,whomsoever you relate to, you have to be conscious in the sense that you truly look at that person or thing. If you do this you will not be afraid. The time you are trying to avoid, to escape, suppress or make something look or happen differently than it naturally is, you are imposing blindness, unconsciousness and ignorance on yourself. To know the nature of a thing, you have to face it, meaning be present. When a problem occurs in your life, try to face it and not avoid it. This will make you know the nature of things.
       

 There is a second point in this. Often we are habituated to know the nature of things by comparison. When we want to know the nature of a person, we try to compare that person with someone else. Spiritually speaking, this is a fallacy. You can never know by comparison. When you compare, you are relating something to something else. But you are supposed to face the thing in itself, its real nature. Comparison is a kind of intellectual exercise; it will not make you arrive at the proper solution to your problem. Because by habit we try to know things through comparison, we go on changing our opinions as we go on comparing. Therefore the solution is to look at the person, relationship or thing in itself. The time you will be aware in this way~consciously~your fear will leave you.
      

 Fear comes out of untruth. As long as you are facing the Truth, you will not be afraid. In other words, if you want to get rid of fear, you have to be truthful, because Truth is synonymous with Light. All religions have said that Truth is supreme. So if you want to get rid of fear, shake off your selfishness, greed and attachment-any garbage of the mind. There is no shortcut or bribery on the spiritual path.
      

To the degree and proportion you know yourself you will know others. To the degree you have known yourself you will know the whole universe. To the degree you have attained peace you will find peace in the world anywhere you go. To the degree you have found love within your own heart, you will find love in the world, everywhere. To the degree you have faced your mind, you will be able to face things in the world.

"Do not be overwhelmed.
This is a time of great change.
Observe. Be Aware. Be Alert.
Take one step at a time.
Follow what is in your heart.
You will understand what your direction is to be.
Truth, Simplicity and Love
is the guide for living in this world.
Observe change through the teachings of
Truth, Simplicity and Love.
The unreal cannot overwhelm the real.
Great change cannot overwhelm the real.
Your strength is greater than the maya of change.
Your heart is greater than the maya of change.
Your higher self is greater than the maya of change.
The maya of change passes, fades into nothing.
The real remains, eternal, observing.
Attach to the real and triumph over the maya of change.
Follow what is in your heart
and overcome the maya of change.
Change is the Law of the Universe.
The lower self is overwhelmed by change.
The higher self is unmoved, alert, aware, and unconditionally observing.
Change is merely the maya of Shiva's dance.
Understand this and rise above the unreal." ~Babaji
