I remember when when I first awakened to the reality of who I really am.
Back then my truth, what I thought was the truth,was very different from what my truth is today.
And yet my truth is not everyone else's truth necessarily.
Nor is theirs mine.
So what is the truth?
If I am connected to my Source, and have gone within my heart to hear my truth,then how come it is not the same truth for everyone?
Where do the inconsistencies of truth come from?
Why is it that I believe one way, but that way is not the only way?
Well, I guess for me it means that we, each individual soul, are all on different paths.
No need to duplicate life experiences,for that is not growing is it?
If we all do the same thing, how are we expanding?
I feel we carry with us extensive "baggage" picked up along our many lives, that act like glasses of sorts from which we view the world.
This baggage keeps us from being clear.
Some of us have more muck on our glasses than others,(and some of us have lost our glasses all together),and so we are able to see a truth, to feel a truth within our hearts, but it is being viewed without clarity,without focus, therefore distorting the truth.
It is like "part" of the truth.
So we feel in our hearts that what we believe is the truth, and for us it is, but it is only a part of, an aspect of the truth.
Not the whole thing, the whole picture.
And heck I have a feeling that being human puts me a long way from seeing the whole picture...
So I try,(really hard), to accept others truths as theirs, not mine.
Because I don't wear their glasses...
And I try to remember that every day that goes by is another day when I clean my glasses a little bit more, so I can see a little bit of the Universal Truth, not just my own truth.
Hopefully,many,many,many souls on this earth,(wish it was all), are cleaning their glasses too...
For I feel it is when we can be clear on what we see, that we can start to find solutions to clean up this mess we have made on this beautiful earth.
The good news is that the clarity is within all of us.
It is in our hearts.
For it is there within us where Universal Truth lives...
It is in our hearts where the Source of All That Is resides.
And at this point, as I clean my own glasses, that is the most important truth I know.
And maybe the only one I am sure of as I continue into uncharted spiritual territory.
Thank you my light family for being here with me as we all continue on the path to find the truth.
As we remember more and more who we really are.
We are all quite a sight to behold.
With or without glasses...
In light and love

Seeing into darkness is clarity....
This is called practicing eternity........
~ Lao-Tzu
Fear gets its power from our not looking, at either the fear or what we're afraid of. Remember that attic or closet door behind which something terrifying waited, and the longer we didn't look, the harder it was to open that door.
As a boy this obsessed me until I would avoid that part of the house. But, finally, when no one was home, I felt compelled to face the unknown. I stood before that attic door for the longest time, my heart pounding. It took all my small inner boy strength to open it.
I waited at the threshold, and nothing happened. I inched my way in and stood in the dark, even longer, until my breathing slowed, and to my surprise, my eyes grew accustomed to the dark. Pretty soon, I was able to explore the old musty boxes, and found pictures of my grandfather, my father's father, the only one in the family I am like. Seeing those pictures opened me to aspects of my spirit.
It seems whatever the door, whatever our fear - be it love or truth or even the prospect of death - we all have this choice, again and again: avoiding that part of our house, or opening the door and finding out more about ourselves by waiting until what is dark becomes seeable.

I remember it was about 5 years ago when i was dating the Daughter of the Nine Moons from The Astrological House of Scorpio and i decided that the celebration of 12 month birthdays every year was essential the evolution of our respective incarnationary personalities. so on the 21st of each lunar month, not just my september sun birth, we would celebrate my birthday.
Unpredictably Words from Horus reached by $hear$ confirming his mutual application of this particular innovative ancient new tradition.
consequently it was not just capricorn and sagittarius that got to celebrate the birth of the saviour.
....thus...
happy christmas, beloved lightworkers,

In The World And In Ourselves ~ Feeling Fed Up With Humanity
From time to time, we may all feel fed up with humanity, whether it's from learning about what's going on around the world, or what’s going on next door. There are always situations that leave us feeling as if people are simply not capable of behaving in a way that is coming from a place of awareness. Often it seems as if people are actually geared to handle things in the worst possible way, repeatedly. At the same time, none of us wants to linger in a judgmental mood about our own species. As a result, we might tend to repress the feelings coming up as we take in the news from the world and the neighborhood.
It is natural to feel let down and disappointed when we see our fellow humans behaving in ways that are greedy, selfish, violent, or uncaring, but there are also ways to process that disappointment without sinking into despondency. As with any emotional response, we honor our feelings by feeling them fully, without judging or acting on them. Once we've done that—and we may need to do it every day, as part of our daily self-care—we can begin to consider ways that we might help the situation in which humanity finds itself.
As always, we start with ourselves, utilizing our awareness of the failings of others to renew our own commitment to be more conscious human beings. We are all capable of the best and the worst that humanity has to offer, and remembering this keeps us in check, as well as allowing us to find compassion for others. We may find ourselves feeling compelled to serve people who are suffering injustices at the hands of other people, or we may begin to speak out when we see something that we don’t think is right. Whatever the case, the only thing we can do is pledge to serve the best, rather than the worst, of what humanity has to offer, both in the world, and in ourselves.

Hello to you, we are speaking to you in kind; in the kindest of ways we meet you!
We are the Pegasians and we wish to bring tidings of joy and camaraderie into your dear hearts, to this moment we are choosing to be present with you!
We speak to you in kind. In this kindness we are in an allowing state of the hearts resonance. To be kind, to be in kindness, it is not in a way guilt ridden. We wish to address this state of guilt and how often you might find yourself within that state of being..
Being a light worker as you say. Yes being a warrior of light, and yet to be kind, sometimes one is in a hard way to understand how to be in agreement with this resonance with kindness.
Again we reiterate, to be in kindness is to not be in a state of guilt. To be in your heart space is not to be in state of guilt.
To be in a state of guilt is to be in a state of separation from all that is.
To feel guilty, let us break this down.. One is in a state of guilt when, you feel sadness for others, you feel that others are in a sad state, they are less then or have less then.. That they need you to help them, to take care of them to rectify their problems and to in a way, take over their experience for them and right it!
Yes to be in a state of guilt as you see is in a way to be in a state of judgment. That you have it figured out and so, must press upon the other that you can fix this for them, that you feel sorry for their experience and rightly so, should help them to correct it!
Awe yes, this state of guilt is quite tricky indeed!
To be in this state of guilt is in a way off putting to us and to others, this sadness is self-inflicted upon your world, much has been passed down of who is in a state of right and who is in a state of wrong! Which side of this fence are you on?
Yes think of this next time you have these feelings of guilt within your field, as it truly does put you in a side of the fence, it makes one be above the other..
Dear ones, we are speaking of this now as much is in flux upon your world of what is your creation of reality.. To look deeper upon the matters of creation, on must make adjustments in your own creations, always this is so, one must make the adjustments not out there, but within you..
This frequency of guilt as a light worker and yes as a human, is a frequency of waste; it is wasting your energy that is needed at this time to be of great use in your overall achievement of greatness!
We mean by this that now is the time to truly evaluate all that you are creating in literally each moment of your choosing as now is the time that has been called forth to rectify what has been out of alignment so long in the frequency that you are residing as a human upon this earth!
So as yet, you have this ability in each moment to make adjustments in what you are creating and rightly so!
So choose to make new awareness of yourself in what you are creating..
Let go of this waste of energy of guilt, this is an old frequency and it causes pain within each of you.. Allow others their choices to choose from the smorgasbord of life!
Yes, if you are a creator, you can allow others’ their creations too, have respect for whatever it is, for all are creators and all are learning the lessons that they need at this time for further growth..
Whilst you sit upon the fence of judgment and choose to view who is at the right side, you are wasting your energy and time to allow new creations of upliftment to begin in your life, right now right here!
Now is the time to choose wisely where you reside in frequency.. Allow yourself to honor you, your choices, your experiences, come further within, come deeper within your heart and allow your own experience, give yourself permission to enjoy your time upon the earth, and what wonderful creations you will choose and are choosing!
What wonderful creations with your own focus will you manifest now?
We greet you in kind, in the kindest of ways we meet you, here in your heart space, in your moment you are most powerful creators, choose your creations wisely and allow all others’ theirs as well!
We thank you and allow in this moment as it wakes upon your soul, your heart, how powerful all creation is, as it touches your moment and joins with you in magnificence, for dear ones all is possible now, be easy as this occurrence is enlightening the field you are in!
With love and truth we meet you,
The Pegasians..

Today was a very particular sort of day for me.
I worked and did "3d" stuff all day and it was really good.
And then I did "5d" stuff and was with someone who is awakening and had reached out to me in really cool synchronized ways...
As I reviewed my day in my most favorite way to meditate, a hot salt bath, a song popped into my mind.
And the song made me realize I am rebuilding my life and I can see it.
I can see how my life is shaping out to be.
And it looks really wonderful.
A mixture of 3 and 5d sort to speak...
And then I realized that when all is said and done...
It doesn't matter if I believe something is or is not happening.
It doesn't matter if I believe something did or did not happen on the December 21st,2012 or there abouts.
I am still here.
Life goes on.
The choice is mine as how I want to live it.
As it is every bodies.
And now,finally, after years of being a hermit, I am ready to live again.
To join the human race again, sort to speak.
Being on this amazing earth, but not quite of it...
Oh? And the song that popped into my mind?
Here it is:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jU5h2izGG-Y
Leave it to my friends across the pond to inspire me... : )
I wish for all to find peace and happiness within.
For all to connect to their Source of all that Is.
And to live their lives as such.
In light and love

Making Space for Gratitude
Written by, Julie Miller
Gratitude is one of the many virtues we as journeyers must reach at some point. It does not matter if we are spiritually inclined or not. When we come to the understanding of what deep gratitude is, then we can truly discover the solutions for the toxicity derived from Greed, Jealousy, Resentment and Despair. When we experience Gratitude, we do not wish for more than what we already have, and we find ourselves appreciating all that we do have instead. Being grateful does not bother or interfere with the fortune others may discover, there is no resentment or sadness when something is missed or gone. Gratitude is not just a feeling but an expression of living in the moment. Through gratitude a person learns how to be really heartfully thankful.
As we move and cross many paths, we learn mostly through experiences. Our experiences are extremely important to our development and how we perceive the world around us as either friend or foe. The knowledge we glean from texts and books are creative and clever but they do not replace our own self-knowledge when we take the time to nurture ourselves and to grow ourselves from within.
Being thankful and grateful for things we can see and touch can easily be taken for granted when we move away from what is obvious and focus what is not so obvious. We are connected to all things regardless of their size. As a result, all that we are and all that we come into contact with, the many gifts God presents to us, all the trials and tribulations, all species that lives upon our earth, we are all to be grateful to. When we are eating our lunch at work, it may appear to be dull but when you greet this moment with gratitude that simple meal becomes a feast. Remember there are always people who have less than you, it may be hard to put ourselves in their shoes if those conditions have never been personally felt but we can try to emphasize through our compassion and respect.
Maybe I understand Gratitude and Thankfulness differently because the many difficult challenges that I have faced and survived. Those that know me and my story also know that I have always maintained my faith in every situation.
When I have armloads of groceries and the street seems to be suddenly without cars, I give thanks to God for making this possible so I can quickly get across the road and home sooner to my children. When someone says hello even if they are a stranger I am thankful for this interaction and reply in kind. I give gratitude and thankfulness each and every day to God, to the Masters and Angels that have worked with me that day and to the Goddesses I greet each morning. I give thanks to the Universe for always listening and being there in its incredible largeness and silent beautiful way.
Our lives are filled experiences that help create gratitude, but gratitude must be felt from the heart. Each achievement we reach within our personal lives, greet it with a smile and with thankfulness. Sometimes it may take us awhile to understand the lesson, but eventually realization does come knocking and we do let it in. Through our experiences, especially the really hard ones, we learn the value of not judging others, criticizing or passing blame. We learn we are responsible for our actions and we are grateful for the lesson they bring. For without the lessons we wouldn’t be as consciously aware of ourselves or others.
It is important to know our feelings and to express an eagerness to learn what and why they are there, what is the root for their visit and let them go. It is important to greet them, be grateful for them but not to become attached to them. The more you are grateful for the more room you have to love not only yourself but others. Making space for gratitude and practicing gratitude creates less room for the toxicity of negative thought forms to take root and more room for love and compassion.
I may add more to this teaching at a later time until then, May God always smile upon you
Brightest Blessings,

Create Time For Self-Compassion
Being Gentle With Ourselves
During those times when our lives are filled with what seems to be constant change and growth, it is important to remember that we need to be gentle with ourselves. Since it can be easy to use our energy to keep up with the momentum of our lives, we may not be aware of the fact that we are much more likely to run ourselves down. When things seem to be moving quickly, it is especially essential that we make a point to slow down and be gentle with ourselves.
It might be difficult to notice what is happening to us for we may be so caught up in the whirlwind of our lives that we lose sight of the direction in which things are heading. Being gentle with ourselves doesn’t mean that we don’t accomplish things. Instead it means that we honor ourselves on an ongoing basis and take care of the needs of our bodies.
This means different things to different people. For instance, it could mean having a session with a healer; taking a remedy, herbs, or vitamins; or getting extra sleep. Putting our energy into ourselves in this way helps create space for a more positive, loving, and accepting view of our lives. By setting the intention to do so, we will be more cognizant of our energy levels on a daily basis and more able to replenish them as needed.
The more we are able to treat our bodies with gentleness, the more tenderness and compassion we will call forth into our lives. Learning to understand and pay attention to what our self needs will in turn allow us to fill our lives with unlimited loving and healing energy and to truly take care of the things that mean the most to us.

After browsing through the Blog list on this Monday midday, it appears that some are focused
on the absence of Light and wish to spread that lack onto others with their choice of words.
When the light switch is chosen to be on, life jumps out at you in many wonderful and enlightening

Lost cat makes 320km solo journey home
Yahoo!7 January 21, 2013, 11:07 am
"Are you sure it's the same cat?"
You could forgive Dr John Bradshaw's skepticism when he was told Holly the cat had made her own
way on a 200 mile (320km) solo journey to her West Palm Beach, Florida home.
Holly's owners, Jacob and Bonnie Richter, lost Holly during an RV rally in Daytona, Florida in November.
Thinking Holly had been scared by the fireworks, the Richters returned home, presuming their cat
was lost forever.
But then on New Year's Eve, appearing sick, emaciated and weak, Holly turned up in a backyard
just one kilometre from the Richter's home.
A quick check of the cat's microchip confirmed it was indeed Holly the cat. What the microchip can't
explain, is how Holly managed the journey all by herself.
Unlike migratory birds and mammals, scientists are at a loss to explain how animals like cats and
dogs are able to find their way home.
Patrick Bateson a behavioural biologist at Cambridge University, says it may be related to the animal's
sense of smell.
"Let's say they associate the smell of pine with wind coming from the north, so they move in a southerly
direction."
Dr Bradshaw, from the University of Bristol in England believes cats may have inherited their sense of
direction from wolves, using magnetic clues.
It's not the first example of house trained animals finding their way home over long distances.
In 2008 a dog leapt from its owner's moving vehicle, before finding its way home three weeks and
45 miles later.
In 2002, Skittles the cat escaped while on holidays, before returning to its owners' home following a
350 mile, 140 day journey.

Trust your instincts.
It gets to a point in life where you have done a lot of exploration into your self. You've got many different tools to understand and decipher various events, feelings, emotions, thoughts, and behaviour. However, we will often doubt our instinct, whether it is right or not. Depending on how much we value or trust our instinct will affect whether or how much we act upon it.
Personally, I've learned that my instincts are incredibly important. Even if they do not represent or make sense of something literal; they have a message. A very srong and direct one. The way instincts are expressed are in many forms, varying from dreams, feelings, to meaningful coincidences, or simply the way you act or analyse a scenario.
An example of an instinctual message:
Say you are in a relationship. Suddenly you have a dream that your partner is cheating on you, or simply lying to you about something. Now, you may view cheating as a huge problem, or perhaps you cannot stand lying. Either way, they are both repelling symbols. So, the dream may not be saying: "your partner is cheating on you", but it may be using that symbology and your reaction of it to communicate that you should not be with this person. Or perhaps that you should be stricter with them, or even watch them more. It can vary greatly depending on the individual of course.
Be mindful of your instincts, nurture them. Reinforce it upon your reality that your instincts will be clear and accurate, and that you will be able to act upon them with increasing precision the more you interact with them.
Peace

Hey Lighty friends,
Before you surrender your power away to anyone elses truth - just be very careful. Particularly if a self proclaimed prophet is spuking disempowerment as a means of total control to serve their specific agenda only. Be very wary of someone who claims to be omnipotent and refuses to listen to reason. First and foremost, their primary mission is to seperate and isolate, by polarising they can target specific people. These are predators who prey on the vulnerable and those who appear lost. They promise them salvation.
Think very carefully before relinquishing your thoughts and deeds to another - remember Helter Skelter, Jonestown (The Peoples Temple) and the Heavens Gate cult? Sure, these self administering gurus, lulled their believers into a false sense of security - they said all the right things but their ulterior motives proved very sinister indeed. Ultimately, the choice is an individual one - however, just be very careful when making your decisions.
I'm probably not telling you anything that you don't already know - just be very be wise - if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck - chances are - it's more than likely a duck. Please think and feel for yourselves - your very life could very well depend upon it.
Marshall Herff Applewhite created a religious cult commonly known as Heaven's Gate. In 1997, he led his 38 followers to commit suicide in hopes of being transported onto a spaceship traveling with Hale-Bopp comet.
In the following video Applewhite preaches suicide.
The Peoples Temple, headed by preacher Jim Jones who, in 1978, led more than 900 members to Jonestown Guyana, where he orchestrated a mass suicide where he forced his followers at gunpoint to take their own lives via drinking tainted punch.

Create Happiness in One Step
http://pathwaytohappiness.com/create_happiness.htm
There is one step to creating happiness. It is to express love. When you express the emotion of love you create happiness and joy within yourself. Happiness is not just a state of mind. Happiness is also a state of emotion.
Psychologists study happiness like it is a mysterious phenomenon. They suggest things like work in a meaningful career, spend time with friends, and take time to savor the day as a means to increase happiness. Why do these things show up as activities to do if you want to be happy? It’s not because they actually make you happy. They cultivate happiness because people express love while doing them. They express love for their friends and family, they express love for work and activities they find meaningful. When people express love they are happy.
It is easy to overlook our critical role of expressing emotion in creating our happiness. We are inclined to think of our emotions as a response to people and material things. One simple way this happens is that we hypnotize ourselves with words such as “He/She makes me happy.” Even the phrase, “I’m so happy you came to visit me.” can have an implied mental assumption that our emotions are because of them.
The part we didn’t see is that we expressed love for the person that came to see us. Where did that emotion of love come from? We created it. Emotions are invisible to our eyes and so we overlook where they are coming from. Yet the truth is that we create them ourselves. We can perceive other people’s emotions, but more than 95% of what we feel emotionally is from what we create.
The person that visited us is just a trigger for us to create and express love for them. We then experience joy from the love we express for people; not because of them. It is often easier for us to love some people more than others. This supports the false assumption that they make us happy. What it doesn’t take into account is how the beliefs and perceptions in our mind cause us to express love to some people and less than others.
What about all the things that seem to make us happy?
If we are enjoying music, it is not the music that makes us happy. It is the expression of our love for the music that creates our joy. If we are happy in our job or career, it is not the job that makes us happy. The expression of our love for what we do creates the experience of happiness. If we are enjoying a beautiful day, it is not the day that is flooding us with emotions. It is our love for the experience of the day that we are flooded with.
The one underlying act that determines your happiness is the expression of your love coming out of you.
Do we really create our emotions? Try this experiment to find out for yourself. Think of a joyous memory in your past. Perhaps it is a person or an event that “brings” you great joy. Immerse yourself in the feeling. You can also use unhappy memories that trigger you to create unpleasant emotions. The memories are the triggers, but you are the one creating the emotions. Where and how you focus your attention and interpret experiences in your mind are the major factor in triggering what emotions you create.
Over the years our mind has built a program between outside triggers and the emotions we express. If we win a game, we express joy. If we lose the game, we express disappointment. Get a raise, promotion, or buy something we want, we express emotions based in love. Get fired, lose money, or lose something valuable, we express fear, anger, or disappointment. These are triggers to withhold the expression of love.
As long as you have artificial criteria in the mind your happiness will be dependent on external factors. Common criteria in the mind can be what other people think of you, material things, or what your body looks like. It is by satisfying the criteria in the mind that most people engage in the pursuit of happiness. People try harder to win more games, make more money, or to have people like them. This approach is also why most people find their happiness to be fleeting. They continually have to chase the next criteria their mind comes up with.
Truly lasting happiness is yours when you have the self awareness to choose the criteria in your mind and change it at will. With self-mastery you are able to choose the emotion you express in each moment. When you have this level of self-mastery the obvious choice is to express love. The Dalai Llama is a well known public figure that demonstrates this mastery of expressing love.
We often associate this kind of mastery over the mind with spiritual people. But it is actually something that you can master without having to move to an ashram in India. If you have expressed love for your children, a friend, spouse, or a pet, you have already exercised the necessary emotional muscles that it takes. Now all that is required is some practice and some shifting of the criteria in the mind.
Happiness is a relatively new field for psychology, as they have only been looking at it for a few decades. Academics will have a difficult time understanding happiness. Science doesn’t take into account what it can’t measure. And science can’t measure emotions, or how they are created. They also have difficulty detecting the beliefs in the mind that form the criteria for expressing emotions. Through interviews and surveys they can only get second-hand information about these unseen aspects.
If psychology studies happiness based on surveys of normal folks they will end up with answers about happiness from people who pursue it. However, if psychologists study happiness from people who have self-mastery over their beliefs they will have conclusions based on people who create happiness through expressing love. This internally created foundation of happiness is a much deeper and lasting version than what the averages person experiences.
Spiritual traditions have been studying happiness, love, fear, and belief systems in the mind for thousands of years. Their esoteric studies have gleaned a great deal more insight into the unseen world of emotions and belief systems than recent academics. Within these spiritual studies there is room for distortions and misinterpretations but at least the knowledge base is much deeper.
Happiness is not a mystery to solve or secret to be revealed in order to be experienced. It is so simple that just about any child can model it even if they can’t explain it. Happiness is a feeling created by the expression of your love coming out of you. When your love is coming out of you, you are happy. If you express emotions of fear and anger, you will experience fear and anger. How you feel is determined by the emotions you create.
The reasons you create different emotions at different times is because of beliefs in the mind that respond to different triggers. Those beliefs are the artificial criteria telling us not to love, or that it is not safe to love.
If we limit the expression of love by the criteria in the mind, we limit the happiness and joy in our life. Being aware that we create our emotions and that we can change the criteria in our mind is a big shift in responsibility and power over our happiness.
Expressing love is the one step to happiness. Our mind may have a lot of different criteria that has to be met before we allow ourselves to be happy, but those can be changed. If we change those agreements we can express love for any reason we choose, or even for no reason at all. We can express our love just because we enjoy the feeling of happiness it creates for our self. This isn't being selfish; it is just doing for yourself what no one else can do for you.

The Pursuit of Happiness
http://pathwaytohappiness.com/pursuit_happiness.htm
The pursuit of happiness seems to be a big deal. Bookshelves and magazines fill volumes with the topic. Even our founding fathers thought it rated a line in the Declaration of Independence. It is part of our natural instinct to pursue happiness. The same way we seek to experience physical pleasure and avoid physical pain, we seek emotional pleasure, and attempt to avoid emotional pain. Our emotional enjoyment, or what we can call happiness, is simply part of human nature.
How pervasive is the pursuit of happiness and emotional well being? It is one of the all encompassing motivations that people have once they meet their survival needs. Abraham Maslow pointed this out a long time ago in his hierarchy of needs. When a person is physically comfortable and no longer driven by fear of starving or freezing to death, emotional pleasure becomes a primary pursuit. Happiness may take many forms but it is the underlying motivator in most our decisions.
Even with a natural instinct, constitutional approval and our best efforts, it seems all too easy to create emotional chaos and unhappiness instead. How does this pursuit of happiness get so distorted and take us in the wrong direction at times? While it is easy to discern between the physical sensations of pleasure and pain, emotions are not always direct. We often have a layer of beliefs in the mind that tend to complicate our sense of enjoyment and pursuit of happiness.
Think about shopping for clothes. Unless we are buying a uniform or a necessary item, we generally buy clothes that we believe will enhance our appearance. When we believe that we look attractive, we feel happier. How we look is just a means to improve how we feel emotionally. We make purchases because we feel good, or assume we will feel good with that purchase. The assumed impact on emotions is the principle motivator behind our decisions.
When we buy a car we want to feel good about the purchase. Feeling good is the end result we seek but there are many paths to get there. One person may worry about safety concerns with children in the car. In order to feel better emotionally they buy a large SUV. Another person may have strong beliefs about the environment and feels better when they satisfy these beliefs. They might buy a hybrid car. A third person may be frugal with their money and think it’s stupid to pay full price for anything. Not wanting to fall into their own belief criteria of being stupid, they buy a used car. Each person’s means to feeling happy about their choice is a completely different path in car buying.
The pursuit of happiness, or feeling emotionally good about the choice, is the principle motivator that was met with three different means. Each person has different assumptions and beliefs they have to meet in order to get to that emotion. For these people it isn’t the car or the clothes that makes them happy. They feel better because they have satisfied the beliefs in the mind. Each person’s emotional happiness is behind a barrier of criteria. If they can meet the criteria in their mind they will reward themselves with pleasurable emotions, at least in the short run. Later, their beliefs may change and then they have to go shopping again.
For the SUV owner maybe it wasn’t so much about being happy as just keeping their fear based thoughts at bay with a bigger car. Remember that a large part of feeling good in the mind is about avoiding what we believe feels painful, or potentially painful. This includes using compensating strategies like a large car to keep emotionally painful fears and beliefs at a distance. Compensating strategies don’t eliminate the fear based beliefs, but people rely on them a lot to keep their fears managed.
Where do most people go to satisfy their pursuit of happiness? They try to satisfy the criteria in their mind that tells them what they have to do in order to feel good. That might also mean doing things to compensate for fears and beliefs of something painful happening. The end goal is happiness and all the beliefs, fears, assumptions, and perceptions in the mind dictate the path. You can find these beliefs hiding behind thoughts or comments like, “Ill be happy when…” or, “I would feel much better if..”
In the pursuit of physical enjoyment we get direct feedback. With emotional enjoyment we often have a barrier of beliefs and assumptions filtering our efforts.
Is there a problem in seeking happiness according to assumptions and beliefs? Not really, unless you have followed the criteria in the mind and your pursuit led to unhappiness. Is it possible that what our mind assumes will make us happy isn’t 100% accurate? Disillusioned career choices, broken hearted relationships, and mid-life crisis indicate that our assumptions about happiness often miss the mark. Most of what we have imbedded in our mind about what makes us happy and unhappy comes from other people or marketing agencies and doesn’t address our individual inspirations.
There are other problems with the approach of chasing the mental assumptions of what will make us happy. What happens when our mind tells us what we have to do to be happy but we haven’t met the mental criteria yet? Suppose we believe we will be so much happier if we lose 15 lbs. Our mind can set up the paradigm to be less happy with our body because we haven’t met the requirements for being happy yet. When we let our belief system determine the criteria for being happy, we also unconsciously define more reasons to be unhappy.
What if the mind’s criteria for feeling better emotionally are dependent on things we can’t control? Perhaps we want a promotion, or recognition at work. We can certainly do things to help our case but we can’t make someone promote us or appreciate us. Our mind now uses these external factors as justifications to conclude that we are not as happy as we could be. We end up unhappy because we can’t change external circumstances. If we don’t change the criteria in our mind we miss our opportunity for happiness.
Our pursuit to feeling better and happier has turned into a struggle to get recognized and promoted. Not because it will really make us happier directly, but because our belief system has set this as the means to an emotional end. We might very well get the promotion, a raise, and recognition only to find out we are not filled with joy. Our pursuit of happiness has turned into a pursuit of assumptions in our belief system. The problem here is that we bought into our false beliefs as being true.
If we aren’t aware of how belief structures limit happiness we are likely to try and change external factors in order to be happy. Trying to change factors we can’t control can lead to us feeling frustrated and powerless.
Achieving and creating happiness generally isn’t accomplished the way the mind thinks it happens. Some people are able to pursue their assumptions and satisfy their belief system in their mind. They consider this success and feel good about their accomplishment. This doesn’t work for everyone. Some people are able to feel happy by satisfying their beliefs. But then their beliefs change and they end up chasing new assumptions thinking it will make them feel better. After a while they get tired of the chase or disheartened because the happiness is not lasting. Some people attempt to satisfy the beliefs in their mind all their life and still never feel fulfilled. Maybe their mind moves the target before they get there. Or maybe, just maybe, there is a greater happiness and fulfillment to be experienced than just satisfying criteria in the mind or compensating for its fears.
The pursuit of happiness is real. It is an authentic and natural desire of our nature. For those that feel a deep emotional yearning, simply meeting the criteria of beliefs about what is supposed to make us feel good doesn’t satisfy this yearning. At a deeper level it becomes about the heart’s desire, or satisfying something at the level of the soul. Answering these desires is much more meaningful and emotionally fulfilling than satisfying the beliefs in the mind.
To create, and live in authentic happiness, you will need to learn not to blindly chase the false beliefs in the mind. You will have to pay closer attention to the end goal of emotion and not jump after the first idea the mind offers as a means to get there. When we go after happiness by satisfying the belief system we have taken our eye off the goal and become attached to assumptions and beliefs in the mind.
A new car, clothes, or losing 15 lbs is just a means to an emotion based on a belief. A belief can change and then the emotion shifts. When you don’t have a handle on your beliefs, becoming happy is a moving target that is likely to get away from you.
The pursuit of happiness is a part of our personal constitution and make up as a living being. It is every human’s birthright and it is within every person’s possibility to achieve. To be successful in your pursuit of happiness you will need to dissolve the assumptions and criteria in the mind that interfere with authentic happiness.

It can be easy to get caught up in the negative things that humans do...but the human spirit is a beautiful thing to behold.
We can take our creativity,our skills, our emotions, our drive,and our courage and do things that seem impossible...supernatural even...
Here is a video I found, this kid is amazing...can you imagine the hours of practice he put in to be able to do these things?
The drive,the determination,the perseverance...the number of times he must have fallen, hurt himself?
And yet he kept going, the end result being...PURE Magic.
The definition of perseverance is as follows:(from dictionary.com)
per·se·ver·ance
[pur-suh-veer-uh ns] Show IPA
noun
1.
steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
2.

There's nothing more magic than looking at the clock and seeing '12:12',
then suddenly hearing on the radio 'Dont worry, about a thing, cause every little thing is gona be all right'
Thank you Universe! Thank you Bob!!
The magic of life, signs and synchronicities never fails to have me in awe of its magicalness!
I live in Dorset, South England, and for once we actually have SNOW!! If we ever get snow its usually only ever about an inch. But we've had over 4 inches! Theres nothing that brings out my inner fairy self more than snow!
Its so awesome to watch all the kids having so much fun sledging down the hill by my house. I want to go show them how its done ;)
There is something so beautiful and magical about the energy of snow. Its like the air is alive and charged, yet at the same time there is such a beautiful serenity that fills everyone and heals them from snow I feel.
White - the ray of Ascension and Purity.
We are going through a humoungous shift right now over this past week.
I feel the snow has come for reasons of enhancing this shift here over England.
I love it :)
For the first in the several years of my illness I've always longed to be able to go out in the snow. For the first time in so long I was able to to for a little snow walk with my dad!! It was AMAZING! :D
I'm now a very happy fairy:)
SNOW ANGEL!!
Me and my Amazing snowy tree buddy!

Imbolc celebrated around February 2 for Northern Hemisphere; August 1 for Southern Hemisphere
Imbolc Lore Researched and Compiled by
StormWing, Copyright © 1996 - 2007 StormWing
http://www.13moons.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=6&chapter=30&zenid=32af94ed3b683cab16802e85bdcf1e69
Imbolc (pronounced "IM-bulk", "IM molg" or "EM-bowl/k") is one of the Greater Wiccan Sabbats and is usually celebrated on February 2nd. In the Celtic tradition it is celebrated on February 1st or the first Full Moon in Aquarius. Other names Imbolc are known by include Imbolg, Imbolic (Celtic), Imbolgc Brigantia (Caledonii Tradition, or the Druids), Candlelaria (Mexican Craft), Disting (Teutonic Tradition - celebrated on February 14th) Candlemas (some Pagan Traditions and/or individuals prefer this name), the Feast of Candlemas and St. Bridgets Day (Christian), Oimelc, Brigids Day, Lupercus (Strega), the Feast of Lights, the Feast of the Virgin, the Snowdrop Festival, or the Festival of Lights. The name "Imbolc" or "Oimelc", which is derived from Gaelic, means "ewes milk" after the lactating sheep that are feeding their first born lambs of the new season at this time of year.
This Sabbat is a time of cleansing and newborn lambs, a good time for the Blessing of seeds. It is a festival of the Maiden in preparation for growth and renewal. Imbolc is a time to honor the Virgin Goddesses, along with the first signs of returning life in a frozen Winterland. In many places, the crocus flower is one of the first to show itself popping up through the snow, and so it is also a symbol of this Sabbat. Candlemas is a Festival of Light and is therefore celebrated by the use of many candles.
Symbolically, many Pagans choose to represent Imbolc by the use of Candle Wheels, Grain Dollies, and Sun Wheels - these may be used in ritual or simply as decoration. Candle Wheels are generally round decorated "crowns" made of straw or some type of natural woven substance which is ringed with either eight or thirteen red, pink or white candles and decorated with colored ribbons. In many Imbolc rituals, it is traditional for the High Priestess or the Maiden to wear this "crown" during the ritual at some point.
Grain Dollies can be made many different ways, and need not take on human shape unless you desire. They are made of wheat or sheaves of other grains such as straw, corn or barley. The sheaves are formed into some semblance of a "dolly" by folding, tucking and tying here and there. They can then be "dressed" in white cotton or satin and lace to represent the bride. You may even choose to create a "bed" (from a basket usually) for your grain dolly, commonly called a "Brides Bed". There are many Pagan books available on how to create Candle Wheels, Grain Dollies, and Sun Wheels. Please refer to them for further instructions on making these decorations. Imbolc is also represented by burrowing animals, and the bride. Some other altar decorations may include a besom (Witchs broom) to symbolize the sweeping out of the old, a sprig of evergreen, or a small Goddess statue representing Her in the Maiden aspect.
Imbolc can be symbolically represented by a dish of snow, evergreens and/or candles. Ritually, you may choose to light and hold candles (symbol of light) within the Circle. You may also want to place a wheel symbol upon the Altar. It is traditional upon Imbolc, at sunset or just after ritual, to light every lamp in the house --- if only for a few moments. Or, light candles in each room in honor of the Suns rebirth. Alternately, light a kerosene lamp with a red chimney and place in a prominent part of the home or in a window. If snow lies on the ground, walk in it for a moment, recalling the warmth of Summer. With your projective hand, trace an image of the Sun on the snow. Other Pagan activities may include the gathering of stones and the searching for signs of Spring. It is considered taboo to cut or pick plants at this time.
Celtic Goddess Brigid
Appropriate Deities for Imbolc include all Virgin/Maiden Goddesses, all Fire/Flame Gods and Goddesses, and Gods and Goddesses represented as Children. Some Imbolc Deities to mention by name include Brigid, Aradia, Anu, Arianrhod, Athena, Branwen, Inanna, Selene, Gaia, Februa, Februus, Pax, Cupid, Eros, and Diancecht. Key actions to keep in mind during this time in the Wheel of the Year include planning and preparing for the times to come. Spellwork for fertility and protection are appropriate, as well as those to help one define and focus on spiritual and physical desires for the future. Imbolc is a good time to get your life in order - whether physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or all of the above. Make plans, organize, clean out drawers and closets to help create a refreshing sense of bringing in the new and clearing out the old. Preparing yourself and your home now will help to allow you to take full advantage of the wonder and freedom that Springtime will bring.
The most common colors associated with Imbolc are white, yellow, and pink. However, light blue, light green, red and brown are also appropriate colors for this Sabbat. Altar candles should be white, red, pink and/or brown. Stones to use during the Imbolc celebration are turquoise, amethyst, garnet and onyx. Animals associated with Imbolc include robins, sheep, lambs, deer, and burrowing animals like badgers and groundhogs. Mythical beasts associated with Imbolc are the phoenix, dragons and other types of firebirds. Plants and herbs associated with Imbolc are evergreens and willow trees, rosemary, angelica, basil, bay, benzoin, heather, myrrh, clover, dill, and all yellow flowers. For Imbolc incense, you could make a blend from any of the following scents or simply choose one: basil, myrrh, frankincense, wisteria, jasmine, camphor, cinnamon, and lotus.
Foods appropriate to eat on this day include those that represent growth, such as seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower) as well as poppyseed breads, muffins, and cakes. Also quite befitting are foods from the dairy, since Imbolc marks the festival of calving. Sour cream dishes are fine. Appropriate meat dishes should contain poultry, pork, or lamb. Spicy and full-bodied foods in honor of the Sun are equally attuned. Curries and all dishes made with peppers, onions, leeks, shallots, garlic or chives are appropriate. Spiced wines, herbal teas, honey, and dishes containing raisins --- all foods symbolic of the Sun --- are also traditional.
May you all enjoy the Blessings of the Imbolc Sabbat and all that is represented at this time of year.
I celebrate all the sabbats, and many times my daughter joins me. I look forward to creating this wonderful ceremony as I do with all.

I have been feeling increasingly depressed, detached, and hopeless despite my best efforts to fight it off and keep it at bay. Even despite all the wonderful happenings and truths discovered that have been taking place. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems as though other people are attempting to steer very clear of me... Not only just people that are familiar with me or know me, but complete strangers alike...people I encounter in my everyday life...and I'm noticing that they are actually trying to stay out of my way, even if it means they must go out of theirs. Or so it seems. This very well could be my imagination, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not imagining anything at all, quite the contrary. I've done nothing to invoke this behavior from others, so I tell myself not to take it personally... That's pretty hard to do when you witness your fellow brothers and sisters actively trying to stay the hell away from you like the friggin' black plague... Are there others who have experienced this collective avoidance or am I alone on this one? It really is almost supernatural. Like everyone got together while I wasn't looking and said, "how about we all ignore and avoid Callyope, it'll be funny..." Really, I can't explain it, but I feel it strongly, and I have to say that I don't particularly like it. It makes me feel....defected.
Or could it be a cosmic practical joke? I seriously doubt that one... Perhaps a test? If it's some sort of test, why not just the people who matter to me. Why does it seem like it's every single person I happen to encounter? All except for my family, that is. They seem to be immune to the toxin that has recently infected those who surround me. Okay, so how about Karma? Could be, but I've been very conscious of Karma since I was a small child and treated all other living things with kindness and respect, I continue to do so to this very day. Again, I can't explain it, but of one thing I'm certain, it makes me feel like I'm in the twilight zone... If anyone reading this has a theory or a similar experience, please do not hesitate to share.
Love Always,
Callyope C.

I am, as so many of us are, inspired by the consistency and quality of Yarraman's blogs. And so, casting about in my frantic mind this morning, I landed on the faint memory of her recent blogs. About depression, I think they were. I've been camping by the river on this one (DE NILE), so I'm processing on the page here. One more ranter at the group therapy meeting.
Feels like mind cramps. Which manifest in my body as gaspy breathing and muscle spasms. This is what I used to call in journals "The Fear." Capital T, Capital F. Sometimes I get frantic with it. Absolutely hys-freakin-sterical.
Start with situational, which may be a trigger. I've been rained in for six, seven days? On top of that, as the winter finally arrives (YOU ASKED FOR IT, FOOL) my chimney liner is blown and I have to shut down the wood furnace. And I am sitting in some uncertainty with regards to all that. How I will effect repairs, where will aid come from, (WHAT DID YOU THINK, TRYING TO DO IT ALL "DIFFERENT?") lots of questions.
And in that worry, which IS fear, I can hear old demons calling out. I hold open my mouth in a silent scream, because to allow that scream a voice is to be a terrorist. And everyone is trying to sleep.
I need a Sacred Sanctuary. Do you hear me David? I don't know what you did, but I suspect. And my suspicion makes me both angry and envious. "You can arm me to the teeth, you can't make me go to war."
I think about Jesus in the garden, being routinely let down by those who claimed to adore him. IF he had foreknowledge of his circumstance, THEN surely he was suicidal?
It's a path, this pattern. Tra la la, in love with your thoughts, watch what can be done to a "beautiful mind." Layers of levels of lies, with love, launching laughter or lament. Maybe it's because I ran out of lemons? Or I am sad that no one else in my house wants to eat lemons with me? OR merely because, somehow, it matters not how, my lines of internal force, the contrived ones, the imagined ones are wobbly because the macro ones are wobbly because I am having a series of serious ruminations on direction and rotation, purpose and place.
OH, don't you trivialize this subject, you clown! You're writing a blog about depression as a means to heal your own. PUH, build up a construct of delusion to cover your own failures as human. Exactly.
The failure of humanity. I trust the imagined emotional state of a legendary figure both dear and mythical to me more than I trust the affection of the woman who lays with me, who tries to soothe my worried mind. That seems a sickness.
I responsibly remember that list I made when I left that place. I "need" to go outside, to get some exercise, to eat better foods, to forgive myself, to "have some fun" (WHATEVER THE F**K THAT MEANS!), try to help someone else. So, I came up to write a blog rather than indulge in a relationship ending home therapy session.
Yarra, do you hear me? Do you too, Jordan? I am with you. DAVID, you pussy, do you hear me??? I KNOW HOW YOU FELT. Marci, Johanna, Paul, Peter, a thousand friends I am alone amongst. Everyday I expand, I take in another stray into my heart. So what am I? Some kind of emotional landfill?
Just to sit here and feel this way is suicidal. MY body will disintegrate under this type of stress. What if Escher had drawn on paper of mobeus design? Who wound Dali's clocks?
Mabye I have a sick addiction to paradox, there is a place in me that digs the blown mind. I can literally over-rev my brain and it gives me an endorphin rush, I get dizzy. So What? I think (SURE YOU DO, AND YOU DON'T WANNA STOP--JUNKIE!) that this morning's reading maybe added fuel to the fire.
I was reading the stolen, then forgiven, then unforgiven, book written by Aaron Swartz's cousin about conspiracy. Just to describe all this sounds like jabberwockey. Aaron, as the tale goes, was a young man of idealistic bent, wanted to share the information of the world, was trying to speak truth to power, stole these files which included the PDF of his cousin's manuscript entitled "A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America." The ONLY reason I read this is because of the legal letter posted on Cryptome saying NOT to post that document, as it is a copywright infringement.
And I ask questions like "Am I a knowledge thief? Who owns knowledge? Will I be forced to give this knowledge back? Can I trade it to get a nice scandinavian high efficiency furnace to warm the household? Like a slipnslide between dimensions and their apparent needs.
So, the PDF is WEEAAAAAAK as so many "academic articles" are, even from an academic standpoint, and it contibutes to the ever increasing need in human society to either "get down with the sickness" or turn yourself into one more "martyr to the cause." WHICH is REALLY what is the problem: that "either or" mentality...the one that led me to believe that I was "Bad" this morning.
I wasn't bad, I was unexpressed, like a painful boil. Now I am all pusy, but I am not shaking so much and I feel sort low blood sugary. I will get a bowl of cereal or something and bury my face in the previously offered bosom.
I'm selfish. I didn't learn to practice meditation in order to save the world, just to stop this pain, the familiar pain of my own personal depression. It's manic depression, depression that is ACTIVE AND VIOLENT with SUPERPOWERS OVER LIFE AND DEATH. It hurts my body, erodes my soul, is toxic to life around me.
Which is why I am here to say, It stops. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...when the two numbers become too onerous to simply combine anymore, I can return to that point between zero and one. "Shut 'er down, she's gonna blow!!!" And I do. Without killing. When that infinite instant of mindful thoughtlessness occurs in me, and I have forgotten, I remember: I AM. That is to say: it starts from 0.
A lot of those parts of me have witherered from disuse. It's always a shock when "The Fear" comes, I thought it was past.
What is past is not passed. When we forget, we can remember. And the paradox can once again, soothe.
Anyway. Thanks for letting me vent, I feel better. I hope you do, too. This has been a demonstration, thanks for all participants. MaOHmmmmmm.
I love you.
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
I forgive you.
Thank you.
I love you.
Shine Bright.

Went through yet another incredibly tough emotional release today.
(In fact kinda still going through it in a way.)
You know the type of release I mean.
It's like a hand reaching within my self and pulling all the emotion out...the guts of the emotions even...
Deep stuff.
Old stuff.
Not me stuff any longer.
Afterwards I realized that crying makes me happy, in a weird way.
For when I cry, I know I am releasing old baggage, that which cannot go with me.
That which no longer serves my highest good.
And when I release it, it leaves a space within me.
And I want that space to be filled with love.
More Light.
I want to take love with me where I go.
Instead of the old baggage.
So even though I was crying my eyes out, and feeling such deep sadness,I was happy too because I knew that is what I am doing.
It was kinda weird, have to admit...
I was making room for new and improved luggage within me.
And what better traveling companion, than the company of love?
So next time you find yourself releasing emotional baggage, and feeling the sadness,depression,, or anger, or even hate...remember what will take the place of what you are letting go...more love and more light.
More connection to your Source.
Making it easier to stay in the flow of the energies which are pummeling many right now.
We will get through this.
I know it...
...And I feel it in my heart.
Makes for a nice combination.
In light and love

I've blogged about this before. I think I only blog when I'm unhappy. Three years ago I had an idea for a social network that was GOOD and did the RIGHT thing instead of inundated you with advertisements and disrespected your privacy (not to name any names). Then my mom died, and I thought the only way to live, to truly be alive, was to go out there and chase your dreams. So I worked my butt off for a year to build and development my website, my dream, my act of kindness for the world. There were so many obstacles, and so many setbacks, but it's finally finished. I made it. I did the impossible. The website is live, and a few people have signed up.
But I think part of me is just programed to fail. I feel so terrified, like my thoughts are manifesting my website to fail, and I can't change my thoughts, like there's nothing I can do to help my website, and it's all my fault that things wont work out. The website tries to caters to nonprofits, at least in part, and we've been trying to contact them and tell them about our website, lionface.org, but they all seem disinterested, or brush us off. They say, "Contact us when you have more users." Well, how are we suppose to have more users if they can't give us the chance to just peruse the site, to see if it's something that would really help them? I tried to create a LIGHT version of social media, but where is all the light? Where are the nonprofits and the users?
I sort of always believed that if you build it they will come, and it nearly drown my soul in effort to build this site, but they're not coming. I feel like giving up. I wish I could change my thought, manifest differently. I with people could feel the heart I put into this project, and how deeply I want it to set an example for other websites. I just feel so broken, and I don't know how to fix myself. I feel like I'm dragging my website down, and lionface will never be popular. I'm worried I wont be able to afford the costs of maintaining the servers it runs on, and that everything will be shut down in a few months, after three years of dreaming, and a year of working with developers. I'm just so sad, and I don't know what to do. I don't know who to talk to, and my mind is use to giving up I don't know if I could find the inner joy to talk to someone, or get help.I've already accepted that I'll fail, and that's the inner manifestation that I don't know how to change. I feel like I have no control over what I manifest, but I can see my outlook is so terrible. I just wish people would give the website a chance because I know they would love it, I know it would gain momentum. I know it could do wonderful things for the world... but maybe only if my karma wasn't so wrapped up in it.
I don't even know what to write anymore. I just want to sleep. Why am I even on this planet. How's that for a depressing rant. Will I never be happy, no matter how many obstacles I overcome? I'm sorry for adding so much negative energy to this site.

Hey Lighty friends,
So we may have come to a juncture, a cross roads in our path. Who will drive our car, or who will be the passenger?
I believe at any given point, we have always had the opportunity to choose between driver/passenger/passenger/driver.
Many a time I have handed over the steering wheel to the universal PTB when I've needed a break and enjoyed being the passenger for a while. However, there is a time when we all must take over the steering again.
Doesn't matter who is driving Miss Daisy or if Miss Daisy is driving herself - the destination remains the same.
So together - let's just all take that exciting and adventerous road trip into tomorrow - cause tomorrow is a brand new day - so just keep driving.
Much love and happiness to you all
Ish )O(
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

I often times catch myself caught in a negative mind loop.
Before I know it my thoughts drift into what I call "a bad neighborhood."
Often times these thoughts center around beliefs about myself.
Apparently there are still issues of low self-esteem within me.
My mind runs away with thoughts that are really not me anymore.
Thoughts that seem to come up from deep within, the last remnants of fears, illusions and distortions that allowed me to go further and further away from my heart.
Further behind the veil.
So I could totally immerse myself in this world to experience that which my soul chose.
To learn more about myself, by forgetting who I am.
It is during those times that I find the biggest difference in who I have become.
For in the past those negative thoughts would have carried me deeper and deeper into anxiety, sleeplessness, and self doubt and hate.
That's what the mind does.
It has the power to cloud our ability to hear our heart speak.
It can keep us caught in a loop of negativity for hours, sometimes days, months, years, lifetimes...
But now am I aware that these thoughts are not who I am.
So when it happens this is what I do...and yes I do talk to myself...a lot
First I close my eyes and I take at least three deep breaths.
I quiet my space.
Imagine going into my heart.
The center of my chest.
Getting out of my head and into my heart.
So I can hear Truth.
I usually laugh at myself.
I ask myself..."really Marie...do you really think _________________?
Laughter always raises my vibration so quickly.
Then I look at what I am saying about myself.
Really look at it.
Is there any truth to it?
For example, if I think I am a crappy friend, have I acted as a crappy friend?
If the answer is no then I give thanks for the thoughts and let them go as they no longer serve my highest good .
After all having the thoughts allowed me to inspect an aspect of myself...release an issue that no longer defines me.
If the answer is yes...then I forgive myself.
For I need to remember that I was doing the best I could with the information I had, at the time.
Then I really look at myself.
Make sure that I forgive myself in every aspect, so I can heal and move forward.
I finish by giving thanks for the experience, for as I empty myself of distortions and illusions about myself, I fill myself with love and forgiveness and gratitude.
Usually as I envision letting go, I also see myself surrounded in the white light that is Source, and I tell all energies which are not with the purest intentions from the heart ,to move along ...
I send them off in light and love, but they are not welcome here...
I imagine myself as a being of light, filled with the energy of love, healed and whole.
Then I breathe again.
If I distance myself from my feelings, look at the situation, forgive myself and give thanks for the experience, it helps me find my way back to my center, my heart, the inner peace that is my real state of being,
I believe forgiveness of self and gratitude is the energy I need to keep expanding and moving forward.
The fast track to healing myself.
And the faster I release that which is not who I am, the faster I become the person which I am striving to be.
I hope this helps others.
Times are intense and it is very easy to get caught up in the chaos which is all around us as the world continues to awaken.
Quieting the mind allows for the hearing of our hearts.
Nature also can quickly help center and release as well.
Mother Earth's healing properties are amazing.
She has direct communication with our hearts it seems.
When we can hear our heart, we connect to our Source.
We don't need a middleman.
When we connect to Source, our decisions are heart centered and this allows us to be in the flow of the Source energy, the energy which flows through all living things.
And that is when good stuff really happens...when we live from our heart.
That's when our lives become abundant, for abundance is a by product of being in the flow of Source.
Thank you my light family for being here with me.
Wouldn't want it any other way.
Hope your mind is quiet today and your heart is singing.
In light and love
marie
I can't reply to blogs due to the miessence ad that keeps blocking me...but thank you all who read this for being here with me.

The Law of Attraction and Quantum Mind Power – Powerful Techniques to Live With Your True Purpose
http://www.universal-mindpower.com/the-law-of-attraction-and-quantum-mind-power-powerful-techniques-to-live-with-your-true-purpose/
Whеnеvеr I аѕk people thіѕ question,
"What dо уоu rеаllу wаnt іn уоur life?"
Thеу wіll uѕuаllу give mе answers аѕ follows.
"I wаnt tо hаvе mоrе success іn mу life."
"I wаnt tо hаvе mоrе money."
"I wаnt tо hаvе а bеttеr relationship."
Thеn I аѕk thеm “What wіll success give you?" “What wіll money give you?" "What wіll а good relationship give you?"
Thеу wіll аlwауѕ соmе dоwn tо оnе answer – "Feeling Good!"
Yes, "Feeling Good” іѕ thе Ultimate Nееd оf аnу human being. Nоthіng іѕ аѕ important аѕ feeling good. Therefore, thе quality оf уоur life соmеѕ dоwn tо оnе thіng –your ability tо feel good.
Dіd I ѕау that? Yes, feeling good іѕ аn ability. It іѕ lіkе а muscle; thе mоrе уоu use, thе stronger іt wіll become. Yоu еіthеr uѕе іt оr lose it. Unfortunately, thе majority оf people today hаvе forgotten hоw tо uѕе thіѕ powerful ability.
Technique Nо 1: Flip Switch
Althоugh wе knоw thе importance оf feeling good, mоѕt оf thе time іn daily life wе forget аbоut it. Wе аrе ѕо busy dealing wіth thе "important matters" wе meet everyday, thаt wе forget thе mоrе important matters оf "Feeling good, living а stress free life". At thе time wе realize this, wе аrе аlrеаdу іn а deep state оf negativity.
Thе Solution іѕ tо dо а "Flip Switch" thrоughоut thе day.
Whаt іѕ Flip Switch? Flip Switch іѕ а technique whеrеbу уоu hold іn уоur mind а positive image, а moment frоm уоur раѕt whеn уоu felt rеаllу good, оr јuѕt аn imagined event thаt mаkеѕ уоu feel good. Hold іt fоr а fеw seconds. At thе moment уоu dо уоur Flip Switch, іt wіll cancel оut аll thе previous negative emotions. Thе key іѕ tо dо іt often. Don't wait untіl уоur negative emotions gеt big, аnd dominate уоu thoughts. Kill thе monster whеn іt іѕ little.
Dо thіѕ exercise thrоughоut thе day, аnd уоu wіll ѕее thе сhаngеѕ іn уоur life simultaneously. I can't stress еnоugh hоw powerful thіѕ exercise is, trу іt оut fоr yourself.
Sоmе people find іt іѕ hard tо hold а image. Mу answer tо thеm is, јuѕt pretend уоu see. Thе importance іѕ nоt hоw сlеаrlу уоu see, but hоw strong уоu feel.
Technique Nо 2: Capture Magic Moments
Wе don't remember аll thе thіngѕ thаt happen іn оur lives, but wе remember ѕоmе moments. Unfortunately, mоѕt people оnlу remember thе unhappy moments, аnd forget thе happy moments. Thеѕе unhappy memories оnlу mаkе thеm unhappy, аnd thеу don't еvеn notice.
Thе purpose оf thіѕ technique іѕ tо hеlр уоu consciously memorize thоѕе magical happy moments ѕо thаt thеу wіll mаkе уоu happier. It іѕ vеrу simple, kеер а magical journal, еvеrу night bеfоrе уоu gо tо bed, аnd recall аll thе good thіngѕ thаt happened іn уоur day. Note dоwn thіngѕ уоu enjoyed, thіngѕ уоu learned, аnd mоѕt importantly thіngѕ уоu hаvе achieved. Evеrу week, record уоur top achievements durіng thе week, аnd еvеrу month, record уоur top achievements durіng thе month. Yоu wіll bе amazed аt hоw mаnу thіngѕ уоu hаvе achieved, аnd wоndеr whу уоu dіd nоt notice thеm before.
Technique Nо 3: Bе grateful fоr еvеrуthіng
Dо уоu knоw whаt thе mоѕt powerful emotional state thаt people саn hаvе is? Yes, thаt іѕ gratitude. Whеn уоu аrе іn thе state оf gratitude, уоu аrе іn line wіth thе source energy оf thе universe. Yоu gеt tо ѕее thіngѕ clearly. Anу obstacles bесоmе аn opportunity fоr you.
People feel depressed, оr unhappy, mоѕt оf thе time bесаuѕе thеу focus tоо muсh attention оntо thе problems thеу have, аnd forget thаt thеу hаvе mаnу wonderful thіngѕ happening іn thеіr lives.
Bе grateful fоr thе love уоu receive frоm уоur family, уоur friends, уоur colleagues. Thаnk thеm іn ѕоmе way. Treat thеm а meal, buy thеm а gift, јuѕt give thеm а word оf greeting, оr јuѕt give thеm а prayer іn уоur heart.
Bе grateful tо yourself, tо уоur body. Sау thаnkѕ tо уоur feet fоr supporting уоu fоr ѕuсh а long time, ѕау thаnkѕ tо уоur eyes fоr letting уоu ѕее thе beauty оf thіѕ world, ѕау thаnkѕ tо уоur ears fоr giving уоu thе beautiful sounds оf thе universe. Sау thаnk уоu tо еvеrу part оf уоur body.
Thаnk thе universe fоr аll thе blessings іt gіvеѕ you, аnd аll thе blessings уоu аrе receiving.
Bе grateful fоr еvеrуthіng уоu hаvе now, аnd уоu ѕhаll receive muсh more.
Technique Nо 4: Thе secret оf giving
Whаt уоu give уоu ѕhаll receive! Yоu саn ѕее muсh evidence thаt shows уоu thіѕ іѕ absolutely true. Thе wealthiest men оn thіѕ planet аrе аlwауѕ thе people whо give most. Thе mоrе thеу give, thе mоrе thеу receive. Bill Gates іѕ thе richest man оn earth, bесаuѕе hе gіvеѕ thе most. Nо аnу оthеr person іn history hаѕ еvеr gіvеn аѕ muсh money tо thе world аѕ Bill Gates does.
Yоu muѕt give thе vеrу thіng thаt уоu wаnt tо receive. If уоu wаnt money, уоu muѕt give money. If уоu wаnt love, уоu muѕt give love. Thе bеѕt wау tо stay happy аnd feel loved іѕ tо mаkе оthеr people feel happy аnd loved. Give love tо еvеrуоnе уоu meet, а simple greeting оr а word оf compliment wіll gо а long way. At thе vеrу moment уоu show уоur love tо оthеr people, thе universal law hаѕ аlrеаdу guaranteed уоu wіll receive іt back, аnd іt wіll give іt bасk tо уоu іn thе mоѕt amazing way.
A point tо note іѕ thаt уоu muѕt give оut unconditionally; don't expect return frоm thе person уоu give to, thе universe wіll orchestrate аll thе details.
Give love, аnd уоu wіll receive love!
Technique Nо 5: I аm а VIP
Nоthіng іѕ ѕо important аѕ feeling good. Yоur outer world іѕ а direct reflection оf уоur іnnеr world. If уоu wаnt tо experience joyfulness, аnd richness іn уоur outer world, уоu hаvе tо hаvе а joyful, rich іnnеr world. Thе оnlу wау tо hаvе а happy, prosperous life іѕ tо experience happiness аnd prosperity іn уоur іnnеr world. Nоthіng іѕ mоrе important thаn this.
Whеrе саn уоu find thеѕе wonderful feelings? Whо саn give уоu thеѕе good experiences? Thе answer іѕ YOU! Yоu аrе thе creator оf аnуthіng уоu experience іn уоur life. Onlу уоu саn control уоur оwn feelings. If уоu don't give permission, nо оnе саn еvеr influence аnу оf уоur feelings. But whаt I find іѕ thаt people аlwауѕ give power tо thеіr environment, thеу аllоw оthеrѕ tо control thеіr feelings. Thеу feel bad bесаuѕе ѕоmе bad thіngѕ happen іn thеіr lives, thеу feel bad bесаuѕе оthеrѕ hаvе dоnе bad thіngѕ tо them. Thеу blame thе world, thеу blame оthеrѕ аѕ thе саuѕе оf thеіr bad emotions. Whаt thеу don't knоw іѕ thаt оthеrѕ wіll nеvеr hаvе аnу influence оvеr thеіr іnnеr feelings іf thеу don't аllоw thеm to. Frоm thіѕ day onwards, tаkе full control оf уоur оwn feelings, nеvеr give control tо others. Yоu аrе 100% responsible fоr уоur оwn feelings. Yоu decide tо feel good еvеrу moment іn life.
Nо оnе саn mаkе уоu feel bad іf уоu don't аllоw thеm to. Yоu аrе іn total control оf уоur оwn feelings, аnd уоu decide tо feel good. Thе question іѕ hоw уоu аrе gоіng tо feel good. Yоu dо thіѕ bу treating уоurѕеlf аѕ а VIP, а vеrу important person. Thіnk аbоut whаt уоu wоuld dо tо а VIP. Wouldn't уоu dо аnуthіng tо mаkе hіm оr hеr happy? Wouldn't уоu dо ѕоmеthіng good fоr hіm оr her? Wouldn't уоu put hіm оr hеr аѕ уоur fіrѕt priority? Frоm thіѕ day onwards, treat уоurѕеlf аѕ а VIP, dо аnуthіng tо mаkе уоurѕеlf happy. Treat уоurѕеlf а meal; buy уоurѕеlf а gift, give уоurѕеlf а break frоm time tо time. Yоu deserve this, bесаuѕе уоu аrе уоur оwn VIP, nо оnе іѕ mоrе important thаn yourself.
Technique Nо 6: Thе power оf focus
I аm ѕurе уоu hаvе heard sayings lіkе "What уоu focus оn tеndѕ tо expand.", " Whаt уоu focus оn bесоmеѕ уоur reality.", "You аrе whаt уоu thіnk mоѕt оf thе time.". Basically thеу аrе ѕауіng оnе thіng "You bесоmе whаt уоu focus on."
Wе аll wаnt а prosperous life, wе аll wаnt а life оf fulfillment, but vеrу fеw people focus оn this. Thеу оnlу focus оn whаt thеу аrе worried about, аnd іn thе еnd thаt іѕ whаt thеу get. Yоu wіll attract thе vеrу thіng thаt уоu focus on. Thіѕ universal law nеvеr fails, іt works 100% accurately. If уоu focus оn poverty, уоu wіll gеt it; іf уоu focus оn riches, уоu wіll gеt them. If уоu focus оn happiness, уоu wіll gеt it; іf уоu focus оn sorrow, уоu wіll gеt іt too. Thіѕ law works perfectly.
Thе question іѕ whаt ѕhоuld wе consciously dо tо focus оur attention оn thіngѕ wе want. Wе hаvе bееn taught tо focus оn thе fears аnd worries fоr years. Thе answer іѕ simple. Wе muѕt uѕе thе ѕаmе wау thаt wе uѕеd tо focus оn negative thіngѕ tо focus оur attention оn thе positive things. Whаt dо уоu dо whеn уоu аrе focusing оn thе thіngѕ уоu worry about? Yоu рrоbаblу talk tо уоurѕеlf consciously оr unconsciously. Mоѕt оf thе time, уоur ѕеlf talk іѕ carried оut іn а form оf Q&A .
Q: "Why dо thеѕе thіngѕ happen tо me?"
A: "Because I аm stupid?";
Q: "Why аm I ѕо stupid?"
A: "Because I аm а fool."
Dо уоu find уоu hаvе еvеr hаd thіѕ kind оf conversation wіth yourself? Thе wау tо deal wіth іt іѕ tо bе aware оf it, аnd uѕе thе ѕаmе wау tо focus уоur attention оn thе positive things. Aѕk уоurѕеlf empowering questions. Aѕk questions іn ѕuсh а wау thаt уоu wіll аlwауѕ gеt thе answers thаt mаkе уоu feel good. Nо matter hоw bad thе situation is, аѕk yourself, "What іѕ great аbоut this?", “What саn I learn frоm this?"
If уоu continually аѕk yourself, уоu wіll аlwауѕ find ѕоmеthіng great, аnd ѕоmеthіng уоu саn learn. Wіll thаt mаkе уоu feel better? You'd bеttеr bеlіеvе it.
Frоm nоw on, mаkе а commitment- nо matter hоw bad thе situation is, уоu wіll аlwауѕ find а question tо turn уоur attention tо thе positive. Yоu bесоmе whаt уоu focus on!
Technique Nо 7: Nо Competition
Mаnу оf оur disappointments аnd bad feelings соmе frоm competition, оr comparison. Wе feel bad аbоut ourselves; bесаuѕе wе ѕее оthеrѕ аrе dоіng bеttеr thаn wе do. Aѕ long аѕ wе focus оur attention оn оur weakness, wе wіll nеvеr feel good аbоut ourselves. Wе feel bad, bесаuѕе оthеrѕ аrе mоrе handsome оr mоrе beautiful thаn us; wе feel bad bесаuѕе оthеrѕ hаvе mоrе money, bеttеr cars, bеttеr houses thаn wе have; Wе feel bad bесаuѕе оthеrѕ gеt promoted, but wе don't; Wе feel bad јuѕt bесаuѕе оthеrѕ аrе happier thаn wе are. Aѕ long аѕ уоu compare уоurѕеlf wіth others, уоu wіll аlwауѕ find ѕоmеоnе whо іѕ bеttеr thаn you. And уоu wіll nеvеr feel good enough.
Inѕtеаd оf falling іntо thіѕ trap оf endless competing, whу nоt free ourselves, аnd live life іn оur оwn way. Inѕtеаd оf focusing оn whаt оthеrѕ аrе dоіng bеttеr thаn wе do, аnd feeling bad аbоut ourselves, whу nоt focus оn learning frоm оthеrѕ аnd improving оur оwn skills? Life іѕ аbоut growing, nоt аbоut competing. Focus уоur attention оn self-growth, gо fоr thе best, аnd уоu wіll finally ѕее thе big rewards.
In thе Athens 2004 Olympics, thе Chinese athlete Liu Xiang won thе fіrѕt gold medal іn thе 110 meters men's hurdles competition fоr China. Hе hаѕ mаdе nеw Chinese history іn thе Olympic Games. Whеn hе wаѕ asked, іf thе four-time world champion Allen Johnson crashed оut іn thе qualifying heat, whеthеr hіѕ оwn performance wоuld bе affected, hе said, "Not аt all, I јuѕt follow mу оwn plan, аnd perform fоr thе best." In hіѕ mind, hе dоеѕ nоt care whо іѕ running аgаіnѕt him, hе јuѕt dоеѕ hіѕ best.
Forget аbоut competition, gо fоr thе best!
Technique Nо 8: Gеt іn touch wіth уоur higher ѕеlf
Nowadays, wе аrе tоо busy іn оur daily activities. Wе еvеn forget whо wе rеаllу are. Wе rеаllу nееd tо find ѕоmе time fоr ourselves; gеt іn touch wіth оur higher self. Thеrе аrе twо ways уоu саn dо this. Thе fіrѕt іѕ nature. Find уоurѕеlf ѕоmе spare time еvеrу week, аnd tаkе а walk іn thе park, оr gо tо thе forest. Listen tо thе sound оf nature, аnd feel thе power оf it. Sее thе greenness оf thіѕ beautiful nature, аnd enjoy bеіng wіth it. Feel thаt уоu аrе safe, аnd уоu аrе close tо Mother Nature. Thе ѕесоnd wау уоu саn gеt іn touch wіth уоur higher ѕеlf іѕ thrоugh meditation. Thеrе іѕ tоо muсh misconception аbоut meditation, аnd people tend tо mаkе іt rеаllу complicated. Meditation іѕ easy tо do, аnd еvеrуоnе саn dо it. Thе simplest wау іѕ tо јuѕt sit quietly, аnd count уоur breath. Whеnеvеr уоu attention gоеѕ away, bring іt bасk tо уоur breath. Thе purpose оf meditation іѕ tо clear уоur conscious mind, ѕо thаt уоu саn gеt іn touch wіth уоur subconscious mind.

I have not had the most, to coin a demeaning phrase, "pink and fluffy" of starts to the year. I have also missed a lot of what is termed "pink and fluffy" being available as I have often fallen back on it to help me feel buoyant in choppy seas. I have experienced an awareness that the grotty bits I'm clearing sure have manifested in my current reality and I've been in a right old pickle of a sulk trying to clear my head. All the usual pick me up levys are metaphorically dry. They are not only dry but someone spray painted 'ner-ner-ne-ner-ner' at the bottom. So climbing through the thorn infested jungle that is my spiritual path of my NOW I found myself faced by one of those Facebook posts that really wind you up. To react and express an opinion is to step into someone else's what not. To engage with love and light still requires words and to say nothing when linked also did not feel right. Two hours of phone tapping and deleting later where letting rip felt good on the one hand but had higher bits of me popping in with the who's and what's does this serve, little bits of anger, sadness and hurt were flying off me like sparks then I wrote, I am only human, I am not perfect but I am trying my best, I wish I could be more at peace like Buddha and sit quiet and calm and just let things go... I re-read those words over and over and saw Buddha just sitting there in my minds eye. for a while I just sat with Buddha. and let it all go. I looked at what id written again and realised I am a human being who loves life, all life even the scary bits and did not mind being a tiny, minuscule cog in a phenomenal and incomprehensible multiverse... no I am entirely grateful. Apparently I really do only have to ask and there is all the support I need, even if I am all alone there is a shift in mindset to improve every single mind set. feeling thoroughly refreshed I deleted every part of the rant and other than I am sitting with Buddha on this one. my status reads 'OM' how anyone else reads this does not matter for all I can see is that beautiful serenity and a whole new way of dealing with life. Funny how you can think you know about something an never really got it. A big wave of gratitude to the supporting aspect of this new energy and an even bigger one to the teaching aspect. These are not hard times, these times these are these are phenomenal times that are defined by your personal perspective. In love, light and a pink and fluffy bathrobe (not kidding there either hahaha!) Xxx

I have to be honest and say I have no idea of where I am right now.
But it is not where I was.
For the energies of this world are completely different.
The world feels completely different to me.
And honestly I am a mess.
I seem to be off balance.
Last week I kept leaning to the left.
That same day the same thing happened to my lightworker friend when we were at the beach.
She too kept leaning to the left.
Then the following day I was barely able to walk across some rocks on the beach.
It's like I am drunk.
But I don't drink.
Eating differently.
Little tolerance for food..
Consuming large quantities of fruit and juice.
No set sleeping patterns at all.
Changes day to day.
When I first wake up in the morning, I have a hard time getting clear.
It's like I am in a fog when I first wake up.
Can't really think.
I wouldn't say I am jumping back in...
I have had a weird cold that started with a scratchy throat in Peru on December 19th.
This thing is weird because it seems to move around.
From throat, to lung to head, it moves around day to day.
Crazy coughing.
Sometimes spitting out icky stuff.
No fever.
But my body feels strong.
I think maybe it is some sort of vibrational flu, due to this new energy that seems to be like an overlay of the earth.
All those around me who are awake have this cold right now.
Also I get uncontrollable shakes.
It's like cold energy is running through me.
Then I heat up.
Heart chakra expansions...a lot.
Sometimes so intense it makes me catch my breath.
My body is taking a beating.
Did get all medical results back...I am in excellent health the doctor says.
I have never felt energies this intense.
I can see the actual rays of light raining down sometimes.
Gives new meaning to "light" rain.
If it hasn't gotten shaken out of me by now, this one might just do it for me.
These energies are shaking me to the core of my foundation.
The message is clear, no baggage allowed.
I also have been unable to ground using my old methods.
I feel as if I should ground to myself, if that makes sense.
I feel an intense ( new chakra?) new energy about twelve inches from the bottom of my feet.
Also about twelve inches from the top of my head there feels new energy as well.
Feeling so disconnected.
Don't really want to be around people.
Too many feelings and emotions which are not mine but which I feel intensely.
Just need to be in nature.
Hermit mode again.
( didn't I go through this already??)
Having trouble focusing.
Walk into a room and forget why, walk out and remember, walk back and forget again...
Constantly lose my glasses.
( I get it...I am telling myself I can't or won't see)
Constantly lose my keys.
(Yes I know, can't drive if I don't know where I am going...)
Left them out on the outside of my front door the other day...
Like I said, didn't I go throught this already?
I know this list might alarm some.
But I am not concerned.
My heart says everything is as it should be.
But also I am starting to see that maybe I am feeling the overlay of the new energies that are here right now.
Maybe these energies that are overlayed our new grid are the energies of the higher dimensional earth that have attached.
Maybe i am "here" and just can't see it yet.
Looking with my 3d senses, trying to see a higher dimension.
I might need to use my new senses instead.
Maybe seeing the earth as it was is not a good thing.
After all, are we not trying to see the new earth?
So that means we have to let the old earth go?
But continue to keep focus and intent on the new.
The world feels different to me.
It does not feel like the old world.
It is like everything is different, but nothing has changed...
It is just so much lighter.
Less substance.
But love surrounds it all.
So much stronger, the energy of love.
The energy of change.
These energies are intense.
I am reminded to baby myself.
Whichever way is good.
Hot salt baths help release and heal, also helps clear energy.
The healing power of water is incredible.
Going out in nature also helps hugely.
Mother Earth is an amazing healer.
She loves all of us so much, all we need to do is go outside and she surrounds us in love by showing us beauty.
So if you are going through some of this, know you are not alone.
Listen to your heart.
Love yourself.
And have faith that everything is as it should be.
For then so it is.
In light and love

John Farnham & Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Victoria Australia !!!!- "Your the voice"
One of the greatest Australian singer/songwriters ever..
I have seen him perform quite a few times live.....wonderful !!!
Enjoy......YOU ARE THE VOICE !!
We have
The chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
Chorus:
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
This time
We know we all stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better
Oooooooh,
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?...
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear

"God" and I have had a very complicated relationship over the years.
Growing up, I didn't even know the word agnostic.
I thought everyone believed in God.
My belief in God was very innocent.
He was a little old man, kinda like Santa,but not with a belly...
Sitting on a throne made of gold, with angels flying all about...
That was my "catholic" god.
But he could get angry too, and destroy things.
That god could get very angry.
And that is probably where my first spiritual crisis occurred.
It never made sense to me that God would destroy.
For a while I remember being confused about God.
What I see now as spiritual crisis.
For my idea of god could no longer be contained by the little old man sitting on the throne.
So I decided in my head I didn't like that vengeful God.
He wasn't mine.
I had a different God, one that only loved.
There must be different t gods, I figured...
And my god became both male and female, for that made sense to me.
The death of a loved one brought about my next spiritual crisis.
I went through a phase where I hated god.
Hate with a capital H.
Yeah...tough time in my life.
Another adjustment of who god was in my life.
Expectations released.
And so it continued through my life...growth, spiritual crisis, questioning,release, growth...
Until I felt the Light go through my core.
Then god became a WHOLE different ball game lol!
God became Source.
An endless sea of unconditional love.
And I a drop from it.
And today I see so many around me going through their own spiritual crisis.
I also see it with many who have awakened...many lightworkers.
For December 21 was a huge release for our world.
And a huge disappointment for many.
In the disappointment that has followed many are questioning deep within themselves as to what is their new spiritual reality.
How they will go on forward from here when they expected to not have to worry about it...once again questioning and expanding...
And by doing so, releasing the old ideas and paradigms as we all continue on our upward spiral.
As we continue our return to Source
One of those ideas is the idea of time.
And dates.
Needed to be let go, for time is a means of control...not needed in the higher dimensions.
Going through a spiritual crisis is so difficult.
For deep in our hearts we want to feel One with Source.
That is our natural state.
A state of peace.
But to me a spiritual crisis, as difficult as it is, also means I am growing.
I am expanding.
I am letting go of ideas that are no longer for my highest good.
Maybe because I was following ideas of others, instead of my listening to my heart.
Maybe I was listening to what others thought instead of hearing my own truth.
For it is through our hearts that we hear the truth.
Our connection to our Source.
And it is through our hearts that we heal and let go those things which no longer serve our highest good.
So if these days have been difficult, I send healing and love.
The energies have been very intense.
Know that you are not alone.
Try to spend as much time as possible doing things that bring you peace.
Baby your body.
Listen to your heart.
And spend time outdoors if possible.
For Mother Earth will show us beauty at every moment,every instant,and that beauty heals us.
Her love for us is endless too.
We are love.
And we are so loved.
And we are all so beautiful.
Lets not forget.
In light and love

Whilst healing, my mind wandered into thoughts about the ambiguity of pain. I remembered how when suffering trauma I could not feel the attacks until hours later when technically starting to recover and yet decades later I still get phantom pain. Falling downstairs isn't felt till later either but that doesn't traumatise you, you just watch where you're going in future taking more care. I've not had kids but my friends tell me they were all present in their pain but it gets lost and forgotten as soon as you hold your baby and everyone said its positive and worth it. Pain is just the body giving you a report that something needs attention. Ultimately though pain is weird, it is something we avoid and hide from yet it is one of the most fundamental connections we have with ourselves. It is primal, basic, raw, universal, and on occasions even exquisite. I have been so moved by feelings lately to the point of fascination. I was on antidepressants not so long ago and I'm shocked how numb and isolated that made me. I can't say I like pain, but I've kind of made peace with it and appreciate it as just another experience which in turn lifts me up and out of it.

Yes dear Friends, it happens from time to time ~ Peace always draws the opposite energy.
Many times throughout the tumultuous times of 'ascension' downloads over the past few years,
we are all happily sharing our feelings, experiences, awakenings, and comraderie fills the air.
All it takes for that energy to be dispersed is a disgruntled member who does not feel what the
majority of bloggers feel and lash out with all kinds of inflammatory evaluations of what they
see is happening from their perspective.
It happens on many spiritual and other websites, as it is an anonymous way of venting one's
inner-turmoil and frustrations. We can't always be ready for these outbursts or unsavory blogs,
afterall we are human too ! It is the recognition of WHY this happens at times of peace and harmony
that we need to recognize and not feed it. In this world there are very angry and mentally disturbed
people who find the need to vent their frustration on anyone who appears to 'have it all' in their eyes.
The topics chosen are usually subjects that will bring the most outrage from members.
Very sensitive topics that affect the heart, with hurtful and twisted insights that come from disturbed
thinking patterns, in my opinion.
Every day is a new day with new energy. Start the day with your own plans and own energy in mind.
Anything as innocent as a cat picture, like the one above, can trigger something unkind from very
unhappy individuals. How we deal with what is said, once we are focused again within our hearts,
is not for me to say or to judge. Nor would I look within the other person's psyche and try to read it.
For myself, once being established with peace within, I wish to remain there. If someone wishes
to give their opinion to this disharmony, allow them to do so as we are not all in the same space.
Emotions run high in these changing times, let's all continue to be there for each other.
Much love to All, Tara xox

Difference Between Emotions and Feelings
by John Voris
http://www.authentic-systems.com
Emotions and feelings are often spoken of as being one and the same, and it’s easy to get them mixed up and confused. Although related, there is a difference between emotions and feelings, and they each serve us in their own unique way.
So, why should you be concerned with the difference between emotions and feelings anyway? Because the way you behave in this world, is the end result of your feelings and emotions. Learning the difference can provide you with a better understanding of not only yourself, but of the people around you.
What are Emotions?
According to Carl Jung, objects draw and invoke emotions. This is a natural phenomenon, and is essential for human survival. When you encounter an unknown, you may have a range of sensations such as: curiosity, fear, or even ambivalence. When you give that unknown a name, it becomes a significant symbol of meaning. It is through this process that emotions become attached to every object in the universe. When some object is given a name, it not only becomes a “thing”, it also becomes something of “meaning”. On a daily basis these emotions can be as subtle as: “like”, “dislike” or “ambivalence”. Even a state of ambivalence is nevertheless a state of meaning. Therefore, to put it simply: Nothing, is ever meaningless.
Emotions offer the sense of life itself. Emotions deliver the message: “The external world (beyond your body) matters”. It delivers a sense of life as an abstract, metaphysical idea. Art is a solid example of this. A work of art represents the artist’s own emotional perspective of life. What you value in life, and the choices you make are the results of your likes and dislikes, understood by their emotional attachment.
Your sense of life is an emotional form, in which your world experience finds value, your reason for existence and defines your relationship with other things that exists. Emotions are an abstract, metaphysical state of mind; they are essential impressions of the world, and your relationship with it. Emotions establish your attitude toward reality, and provides your drive for all of life’s pleasures.
Additionally, these emotions are connected to your biological systems, and are designed to alert you of danger, or to draw you to something pleasurable. If you did not possess emotions, you would carelessly walk right up to a lion in the Savanna wilderness. If starving, you would not have the motivation needed to climb a tree, and pick it’s fruit to eat.
Protection of Body Identity Through Emotion.
To illustrate this principle, lets use the encounter with a lion in the Savanna wilderness.
Awareness. You must first be aware of an objects presence. Your awareness of the lion is an emotional eliciting stimulus.
Body Change. These changes are in the form of innate body signals. In this example it is fight or flight. Adrenaline begins coursing throughout the blood stream, your muscles are ready for action. Your heart rate and breathing also increases.
Interpretation. You must interpret the correct reaction in order to preserve your identity. Based upon all the available information in your surroundings, as well as any previous learned knowledge or skill, will you take flight, or will you stay and fight?
Action. Now you execute your decision.
Change of Context, Change of Emotion.
Imagine the same scenario except now, you are in the zoo, and there are bars between you and the lion. Your sensations may range anywhere from curiosity, to appreciation or admiration over the beauty of the animal. More than likely, fear would not be present. Your new awareness now includes the bars, which provide the emotional idea of separation, and protection.
Protection of Mind Identity Through Emotion.
To illustrate, imagine that you found a love letter in your spouses coat from a co-worker in the office.
Awareness. You become aware that a life altering situation exists by reading the content of the letter. Your awareness of a “love letter” to your spouse is an emotional eliciting stimulus.
Body Change. You feel your body react. Adrenaline begins coursing throughout your blood stream, your muscles tense up for action. Your heart rate and breathing drastically increase. You begin to perspire, and feel sick to your stomach.
Interpretation. You must interpret the correct reaction in order to preserve your identity. You begin to process the situation cognitively, drawing on all of your knowledge that applies to the moment. You become angry due to the betrayal. Based upon your personal beliefs, life goals, and the degree of importance of the betrayal, you make a decision on how to confront the situation.
Action. Now you execute your decision.
Change of Context, Change of Emotion.
Now, imagine that you discover that the letter was in fact given to your spouse by a distraught co-worker, who found it in their own spouses coat. Your interpretation of the meaning of the letter has now changed. Anger gives way to relief.
Your sense of identity is physical but at the same time mental. Both of the above example illustrate how emotions serve as a trigger to ensure survival of self, but it is the second example that illustrates a far more important point.
You have a sense of mental identity in the form of unchanging beliefs that you identify with. It is this cluster of ideas that are essential in order to preserve your sense of “self”. It is the: “who you are” in the world that you must protect at all costs.
As a spouse living in a particular culture and economic environment, you must preserve the dignity of self as defined by that culture. Dignity comes in the form of an Authentic state of wholeness, with all its frailties and inadequacies. Regardless of the errors you make in life, you must maintain a sense of a single self.
Finally, emotions are intense but temporary. To have them be any other way would be far too stressful on your body! The constant stress would eventually lead to some very serious physical, and mental ailments.
What are Feelings?
As the objects in your world induce emotions within you, they are collected in the subconscious and begin to accumulate. This is especially so when the events are repeated. Ultimately they form a final emotional conclusion about life, how to live it, and more importantly, how to survive physically and mentally in a world of chaos. When this happens a feeling is born. In this way, emotions serve as a sort of, “Feelings Factory”.
Once feelings are established, they often feed back into your emotions to produce the appropriate result to ensure survivability.
Imagine you observe your child approaching an electrical outlet with a paper clip in hand. Your sustained feeling of love for your child, will generate the temporary emotion of fear, and you quickly act by yelling “No!” and swatting your child’s hand away from the outlet. Perhaps your child responds with surprise and anger, and defiantly attempts to insert the paperclip into the outlet again. Your sustained feeling of love for your child, may generate thetemporary emotion of anger because your child is expressing stubbornness, and disrespect to your attempts at preserving his or her life.
Here is another example. Imagine that a professional snake handler offers you an opportunity to hold a snake. You may project the “Joy”, of touching the snake, because you really want the experience and the sensations that go along with it. However, you have difficulty moving past the”Fear”, of potentially getting bit. Your solution? To approach the situation with great caution. Caution is a sustainable feeling that is the balance point between two temporary, emotional potentialities. Namely, that of “Fear”, and “Joy”.
Feelings are products of emotions. But unlike short term, intense emotions, feelings are: low-key, stable and sustained over time.
The Differences of Emotions and Feelings in a Nutshell:
What Does This All Mean For You Personally?
The difference between emotions and feelings is crucial to your personal growth. If you are dissatisfied in your life, know that there is really nothing wrong with you, and there is nothing to fix. Rather, there is only something to discover about yourself. Authentic Systems can aid you in that discovery. The uniqueness of your feelings can provide you with a new understanding, that can lead to many positive changes for you.

If you think you've lost your groove
Just put your favourite music on
And you'll soon get back into the mood.
Look at Tweetie rockin' and a rollin'
Foot-tapping and hoola swirlin'
Not a care in the world on her face
Having fun is this girl's saving grace!
So why the long faces, I wonder
With so much music to play
Why sit and ponder
On what might have been
At who knows where
Let's all be happy
With lots of love to share !
Now, if that sounds too sweet
Well....I can't think of anything else
Than to be Up-Beat !
It's good night from me
And it's good night from Joey
We need our sleep
Or we could wake-up a tad toey !
Love from all the Party Animals ~
p.s. 'tad' means 'a little' and
'toey' is slang for 'grumpy' or 'out of sorts.'

Anger And Fear
By NANETTE BURTON MONGELLUZZO, Phd
http://blogs.psychcentral.com/angst-anxiety/2012/02/anger-and-fear/
Anger is one of the most misunderstood of our primary emotions. It often gets a bad rap. Anger is not the problem, but rather, what folks do with anger that contributes to its growing bad reputation.
Let’s talk a bit about anger and the primary and secondary emotions that are a part of our human makeup.
Emotions are a lot like colors. Just as we have primary and secondary colors we also have primary and secondary emotions or feelings.
The primary emotions are anger, love, fear, sadness, and joy. I bet some of you are surprised at this short list. Anger and fear are the workhorses of the family of feelings. These two are so over worked from being sent out repeatedly to do the work of the other feelings.
The secondary emotions are listed below in a simple chart.
The Primary Emotion of Fear Has the Following Secondary Emotions:
Shame
Guilt
Anxiety
Worry
Distress
Horror
Shock
Terror
Fright
The Primary Emotion of Anger Has the Following Secondary Emotions:
Irritation
Rage
Disgust
Envy
Jealousy
Bitterness
Hate
Dislike
Resentment
The Primary Emotion of Joy Has the Following Secondary Emotions:
Cheerfulness
Pride
Optimism
Contentment
Pleasure
Enthusiasm
Happiness
Satisfaction
Eagerness
The Primary Emotion of Sadness Has the Following Secondary Emotions:
Disappointment
Depression
Despair
Hopelessness
Unhappiness
Grief
Sorrow
Misery
Loneliness
The Primary Emotion of Love Has the Following Secondary Emotions:
Affection
Fondness
Caring
Compassion
Passion
Adoration
Attraction
Liking
Tenderness
When looked at in this manner you can see just how many other emotions are available for you use.
One of the reasons anger and fear are used so much is because they are sentinel emotions. They are big and they are strong.
Anger is undeniably an emotion that will get ones attention. It can land you in anger management courses, domestic violence awareness courses, in front of a judge for disorderly conduct charges, and when mixed with drugs and alcohol the entire picture becomes sadly much more complex. Anger is simply an emotion. It is overused because it is big. It is like pulling out the big guns first or using your ace in a hole before you need it.<
There are many situations that call for big anger to be sent out first to get the job done. If you are being attacked by home invaders, if you are about to be assaulted or raped, if someone is threatening to abduct or harm your child, if someone shot you, or if you are placed in danger at the hands of another person or even a life event or situation.
We also know about the anger that comes from situations that feel unfair, such as being fired from a job or denied a promotion.
It is wise to not pull out the big guns first. You can still have anger and send it out to do its job in a mild or moderate manner.
I remember reading some writing of Mahatma Gandhi. He said he was one of the angriest people he knew. I thought, How could this gentle, peace loving man, harbor any anger whatsoever? He went on to explain that his anger motivated his peace. His actions were chosen to be peaceful expressions of his anger at poverty, injustice, and human rights violations.
Fear is often the flip side of anger. I like to think of it as a quarter, with heads and tails. If heads is anger, tails is fear. If heads is fear, the tail is anger. They flip a lot.
With clients I often explain that the fear is anger being trapped inside with no way out. Anger is fear trapped inside not knowing how to be safely expressed.
This is a small amount of delving into the big world of anger and fear. Remember the example of the quarter the next time you are angry. Remember the quarter the next time you feel fear. This isn’t true 100% of the time, but it is often the case.
And, take a look at all the other emotions that are available for your use and for your communications with self and others.
Take care and Enjoy.

Emotional Health: Understanding Our Primary & Secondary Emotions
http://personalitycafe.com/general-psychology/5995-emotional-health-understanding-our-primary-secondary-emotions.html
Primary and Secondary Emotions
In the middle of the flower are the 8 primary emotions
Understanding Primary Emotions
Primary emotions are in- the- moment emotional responses to a pleasant or unpleasant stimulus. They happen as a direct result of an external cue that affects us emotionally. That is, they occur in close proximity to the event that brought them on. Primary emotions are important because they provide us with information about our current situation and get us ready or motivated to act in some way.
Primary emotions can be extremely pleasant and they can also be extremely unpleasant. Crucial to understanding our emotional reactions and how we behave, either in a healthy and self-actualising way, or conversely in an unhealthy detrimental way, is being aware of our primary emotions and that they all have value. They are important cues to our humanity and growth on a personal level as well as interpersonally and socially.
We can look at our primary emotions as a human survival mechanism. If we do not allow ourselves the expression of our primary emotions, we at best fail to thrive and live a meagre detached existence, and at worst, when the primary emotions become secondary emotions (which they inevitably do), we cause damage to ourselves and others.
Primary Emotions:
Joy
Happiness
Satisfaction
Fulfillment
Contentment
Peace
Fear
Shame
Sadness
Hurt
Guilt
Frustration
Dissatisfaction
Disappointment
It's interesting that we, in most cases don't have a problem recognising, accepting and expressing the pleasant emotions. Although, in some instances people do inhibit the expression of pleasant primary emotions. However, it is most often the case, that the unpleasant emotions cause problems for people. Why is this? Why do we have a problem giving validity to something unpleasant. It is a crucial cue or piece of information for us.
To analyse this response, it's interesting to note that in some instances we have no problem responding. For example, if we're crossing the street and a car is going through a red light, our fear kicks in and we react immediately to save our life.
But what about other fears? Fear of losing someone. Fear of exposing yourself too much. Fear of looking needy or weak? What do we do with those nasty fears? What about sadness, shame and hurt? What happens when we feel those and then don't express them?
What happens is something kicks in to stop us after we feel the primary emotion. Our inner dysfunctional voice starts up. This voice is not our best friend. It's our enemy. It warps and destroys our natural God-given (or whatever you believe in) ability to thrive as humans. The voice has a lot of power if we give it power. It convinces us that we are being smart by listening to it, because isn't a voice (something that uses intelligent "rational" thought) much better than listening to our instincts?
But, aye there's the rub! Is it really smarter and better to listen to that voice? What is it telling us?
You're not allowed...
You don't deserve...
You will lose....
You are a loser
.....will hate you
.....will leave you
You are weak
You are stupid
You are incompetent
You are selfish
Do not believe what you feel
!!!! Don't trust yourself. !!!!
Understanding Secondary Emotions
Let's look at the above statements. These statement do not help us to achieve. They do not make us better people. They disguise themselves by making us think we'll be better if we listen to the voice. But, in fact what they do is destroy our sense of self and demoralise us.
If that were not bad enough, in the long term, we get into a pattern of not even recognising the primary emotion anymore because the dysfunctional voice has infiltrated completely. What happens then? Not a pretty picture. Because the primary emotion never goes away. It gets buried, but we need it to survive. It makes us human.
This brings us to our secondary emotions. These are very familiar. We might mistake them for primary emotions if we're not self aware. For example, anxiety is often due to fear. We may not be aware that we're afraid, or even what we are fearing (it could be many things), so it becomes expressed as general anxiety. The thing about secondary emotions that will be a tip off is if you can't alleviate it without digging deeper.
Secondary emotions are not there to help us. They hinder us. They are the emotions we have in response to a primary emotion not being recognised or expressed. Secondary emotions can be analysed by listening to our inner dialogue. When we feel uncomfortable with the expression of a primary emotion, our inner judgemental voice kicks in. What does it say? Whatever that voice is saying will be a cue as to how we our turning our primary emotion into a secondary one.
A secondary emotion is what occurs when we don't value, listen to respond to our primary emotions. If we do not express the primary emotion it does not go away. We may not express it for a variety of reasons. It may be because of habit from our past (emotional blocks from childhood, family, school, society or relationships and past hurts), or it may be because we are in a social or work situation in which it is not acceptable or safe to express the primary emotion, or it could be because our current situation blocks us from expressing it (ie. it is not accepted by a partner).
A defining characteristic of secondary emotions is they do not pass quickly. They tend to stick around for a long time. They do not provide us with a useful way of interacting and growing. In addition, secondary emotions are problematic in that they interfere with us getting information from our primary emotional responses and acting on those emotions in healthy ways. Instead, they simply tell us that we aren't willing to have our valid, primary emotional responses. As a result, they often lead us to try to avoid our emotions and cause damage to ourselves and our relationships.
Secondary Emotions:
Disapproval
Disdain
Hatred
Coldness
Hostility
Persecution Complex
Paranoia
Distrust
Jealousy
Worry
Anxiety
Insecurity
Low Self Esteem
Self-hatred
Depression
Anger/Rage
What Can Be Done?
The first step in reducing your secondary emotional responses is to increase your awareness of your emotions. This can be done through self-monitoring:
* identify your emotional responses to a situation
* stay in the moment
* be aware of how you evaluate those emotional responses (are you telling yourself judgements on them?)
* capture what kind of thoughts your primary emotions bring about, as well as how you feel as a result of those thoughts
* counter those thoughts and judgements with self affirming statements
Next, practice responding to your thoughts in a different way. You can challenge your thoughts or be more mindful of your thoughts. That is, practice not taking your thoughts at face value or as truth, but simply as a thought you are having only because you have had that thought before -- it is a habit.
Practicing these steps will help prevent the occurrence of secondary emotions and increase the extent to which you can get in touch with your primary emotional experiences and have a more fulfilling life.

The Energy YOU Radiate is Felt by Many
Ascended Master, El Morya’s Weekly Message ~ January 08 – 15, 2013
Received by, Julie Miller
January 08, 2013
The last time we spoke we discussed empathy and compassion in regards to communication. We will be continuing this theme of discussion today.
It is common in many cultures throughout your vast Earthly realm that when something goes unexpectedly wrong, someone must be accountable and held responsible. This is an incredible misrepresentation of the thought of what responsibility is. Dear ones please make a point to truly understand – true and real responsibility has little to do with who or what is the blame or fault but how to react in a responsible manner. But it is evident from what we see that many dear souls are confused and cannot distinctly comprehend blame or fault.
What we are able to see is your reaction of frustration when something goes wrong, all the new ways of being and living can suddenly go out the window because you find yourself within an uncontrollable urge to point fingers regarding the fault and who is to blame of the situation or circumstance. We see the reason why there is this fallback to point fingers and to blame and that is basically for relief from the frustration that the experience caused. When you allow yourself to vent your strong feelings, you think the vent will bring you peace of mind and you will feel better. We see this as a temporary relief – venting provides no lasting relief or a peaceful mind.
From our observations we see this too often. Blaming anyone no matter how big or small their contribution was to the current dilemma becomes easier for some dear souls than accepting the responsibility for any actions created they may have created that helped cause the situation to not work out as planned. There does come a time dear ones when blaming others can no longer be your scapegoat, take the courageous step and take responsibility for your actions, allow your mind, body, heart and spirit to be liberated by your honesty and truthfulness.
Try to look at a situation dear ones from a distance, see it unravel through the process that brings you to the point where you suddenly feel the necessity to blame. You feel yourself becoming possibly frustrated, maybe even a little embarrassed…the ego gets a hold of these strong feelings and puts up a defense and that little protective voice of the Ego tries to encourage you to pass the fault onto another. This is when you look even closer and discover where the true fault lies and more often-than-not it is a shared responsibility. When working together on a task or project, all people involved have a responsibility to bring that project into successful completion. Not one person is at fault when something goes wrong. Working together, effectively communicating will help remove any disharmony that blaming can create and instill a deeper sense of calm and satisfaction. During each stage you are in on your journey, wherever you are on this enlightening path, you are in charge of your choices. You are the one to choose to be happy even if you wake up sore and tired. Realize dear ones, every time blame is thrown into a relationship of any kind this negative behaviour causes separateness and can easily create fear, anger and pain.
There are many dear souls that share your beautiful Earth that often complain about this or that, some more than others – realize that complaining is related to blame, the only difference is that complaining is a less focuses form. Yes it is well understood that you wish to liberate yourself from some of the many powerful and often destructive emotions that are often expressed during moments of frustration. The most effective and efficient way to deal with your upset is to learn to be more compassionate when you communicate.
Make a point to clearly observe the situation before you evaluate or comment. No matter what it is you are feeling that is a result of the situation, experience these feelings through acknowledgement – they are yours. Look at the situation in a non-biased way and see the value that still exists, look closely to what it is that makes you feel your needs are not being met and what is it that is drives you, what you are passionate about that may have become shattered as a result of the situation going in a unexpected direction. Make a conscious effort to understand your feelings before you express them.
You will be faced with other difficult circumstances and each one you successful move from helps prepare you for the next one. You gain great insight and solutions that will come back to serve you more than once providing you may have to change your solution a bit to fit the purpose. Exercising control in a mindful manner that doesn’t include blame will become a natural part of your life. Be always conscious of your words, actions, thoughts and feelings – the energy you radiate is felt by many, sometimes more than you realize.
Another area that can use compassionate communication is when you speak directly and bluntly to someone. You feel compelled to tell someone what is one your mind and the words often used are full of very strong feelings that have the power to crush’s confidence. Learning to choose assertive words that are non-hurtful, non-condemning or show fault can become an important step in your growth. It is important to be truthful and honest yet it is crucial to mindful of your tone of voice and choice of words. Once your words are spoken, they cannot be erased no matter how hard the dear one receiving your words may try. Growth doesn’t happen when harsh and debilitating words are used, growth then is thwarted and any development comes to a sudden halt.
We encourage each of you to take responsibility for yourself, at every stage of your journey. This also means when there is a disturbance in your peace of mind, figure out where and when this disruption began, instead of overlooking the obvious and passing blame. Sometimes talking to the ones who you feel is to blame but in a way you are asking to help solve the error of the situation is a great way to include compassion in your communication that will help bring relief and balance back into your mindset.
When there is a time dear ones for you to share your honest and truthful opinion we support you to honestly own your own interpretation, what it is you think is being projected, and what your personal judgement is as well as your feelings that do not include the other person or persons involved – you are simply and effectively sharing. You are not targeting any one person, you are speaking objectively yet adding a bit of yourself as well, “This is what I think…., or “What I feel that has contributed to our project not working out is ….”. These are some examples that can include you asking what they think. Because more than one person is involved they too will have their own conclusions and together, being mindful and respectful you can come up with a way to correct whatever the error may be. Compassionate communication is always possible; you only have to make the choice dear ones.
When you make a point to include the other people involved, you might be surprised and amazed with just how interested the other people are at helping. When you add compassion and respect into your challenges progress is much more swift and amiable. We know there are some areas that could be more problematic than others and each situation is filled with unique trials and tribulations. Learning how to solve your challenges peacefully will require a certain amount of patience, but then again patience is required in every aspect of your life journey.
We will continue to encourage and support each of you to use every upset and disturbance that crosses your path as an opportunity for great growth and change. All that you learned from all your yesterdays is helping you balance today. And what you gather today helps to create your tomorrows. When you share with another of an experience or how you are thinking in regards to a specific topic both of you are learning. Sometimes what we see when a person tells of an experience, during the telling they learn something more – a deeper Aha is learned and felt. Sometimes it takes sharing verbally or even written with another in order to bring a fuller depth of understanding. The one that you choose to share with may only trigger this knowing by a word or phrase but suddenly you gain inspiration and the other person also learns from listening.
When you state what it is you want, make a point dear ones to state these in a positive manner. All that you don’t want is up to you to make different. If you don’t want a messy house then you already know what must be done. If you have been ill, or your physical body is aging and your strength is not like it used to be then we will guide you to ask for a little help. We know asking for help can be very difficult but you will surprised if you put a little faith into the asking, Hope very likely will share the moment that will bring you to the support and help you need to fulfill what it is you are wanting.
When you express what it is you want always be willing to hear a NO. Each of you are given Free Will to make choices. A normal part of your life is making requests of others, maybe you request one of your children to take the garbage out, it is not a demand, you are asking them. You compassionately thank them for their help and they appreciate being greeted with a thank you. When you make requests of anyone it is important to respond compassionately. When someone refuses to meet a request what often results is a demand. Often we see people who have become use to getting their way and can demand what was asked to be done. Anger often is a result and resentment a reaction on who you are stressing the demand. Sometimes demands work, but the one answering to your demand will not feel kindly or respectful towards you; they may react with their own use of words as a form of retaliation and distance themselves from you as a result. No one likes to feel forced. Kindness is always a better way of accomplishing your wants and needs.
Any pain that is felt dear ones from any form of communication is due to having expectations, and sometimes these expectations can be quite high. Be conscious of your expectations in your situations. Become aware when these expectations begin to cause pain and disharmony. At that point you are faced with more choices and one choice is changing the level of expectation. Learn as well to re-center yourself through grounding techniques that work best for you. They can be quick and very effective when applied in full faith and trust in the method you choose.
Remember dear ones, if you truly want to be happy make an effort to not judge another person’s desires, needs or even their own expectations if they reveal them to you; furthermore don’t be too quick to judge your own. Each of you brings value into all your endeavours. When you make a point to communicate more effectively you will help create a closer connection that brings a winning attitude for all involved.
We observe often that the happiest of people are the ones that are not overly fixated on one thing. They are open-minded and open-hearted. These happy people are flexible and discover pleasure from many sources and experiences and they rejoice in the ones they have not yet discovered.
Each of you are encouraged to be happy and accept one another’s desires and needs without being required to do anything more than accept. What is important is that your feelings, your wants and needs are well understood, and ultimately your feelings are secondary if you really think about it. Remain connected through compassionate communication that is derived from love and respect for each other. Allow yourself to live and to love with an open heart, and through such freedom receive the benefits of compassionate empowerment and communication.

So last week I was learning how to surf these wild energies that have been bombarding me.
Feel like I am getting massive downloads...
On Thursday I was feeling pretty confident about my surfing abilities.
Staying in my heart, not getting caught up in all the changes that are occurring all around me...
My first day of my new job was pretty awesome indeed, I was flying high...
Until that night I kicked the foot of a chair and broke my toe.
So here I was riding the wave and fell off,quite painfully I might add.
I think I need more surfing practice...
Since then it seems that my broken toe has made me super sleepy.(lol!)
Can't quite get around, so I rest quite a bit.
For I am sleeping so much.
And I can't help it.
On moment I am going just fine, the next moment I am feeling sleepy, the next moment I am out!
For several hours.
I also seem to continue to fight this cold, on and off.
Strange symptoms.
One day I am perfectly clear.
The next day my throat bothers me.
The next day I start coughing like crazy.
The next day my lungs get congested.
Changes everyday.
I have been suffering with headaches again.
All of these symptoms yet my body feels strong.
The emotions come at me out of nowhere and they are also so strong.
But they are not mine.
But in the past I would transmute for the collective and once the emotions flowed through me I would always feel such energy.
Now I just want to sleep.
And eat.
Oh yeah.
Food.
Like I know I have to eat but nothing appeals to me.
It doesn't look right...I don't know how to describe it.
But yet my body is calling for food.
I need it.
For more energy I think.
So I eat whatever is available, but more as a chore than as a need.
I have absolutely not one clue of what am I supposed to do now with my life?
Not an inkling.
How am I supposed to serve?
Because right now this is not living really.
This is sleeping....a lot.
Within me, I feel what I have always called the Winds of Change.
All my life I have felt this energy at times when my life was about to completely change.
When a new reality was attainable.
In the past, when I met a soul mate.
Or if something was about to happen that would change my life from one day to the next.
I have this feeling strongly within me.
So I know change is coming for me.
I also feel like at this time my body is catching up to all the changes within.
All the energy fluctuations.
I think the reason I am sleeping so much is because my body is integrating all these energetic changes.
For maybe these changes that are occurring are at cellular level.
Have to be carried out in my sleep.
DNA stuff...beyond comprehension for me at this time.
So basically,for me, these energies are so strange right now.
Pendulum swings.
Very intense.
On minute, on way, the next minute, another.
Have to stay centered in my heart.
It is in my heart where the truth of what is happening resides.
Before cohesion there has to be that moment of chaos...
Remember that I am connected to my Source,and I am dearly loved.
Know that this is all part of the process.
This holding space, this transitional place,this space in between.
This rest time is occurring for a reason, I just need to enjoy it and just be.
Just have to ride it out.
Accept and have faith, knowing all is as it should be.
Even the changes that are upon me.
Stay in your heart my Light family.
It is the only space/place that is real.
Thank you for being here with me.
You are all so beautiful.
All my love

Embracing a New You Every Day
Written by, Sanaya Roman
http://innerself.com/content/self-help/behavior-modification/life-changes/7241-embracing-a-new-you-every-day.html
Opening to the new is a way of feeling more youthful, of expanding your childlike sense of wonder and awe. As they grow older, many people constrict their boundaries; they often seek what is comfortable, familiar, and safe. Life becomes a matter of focusing on the petty rather than on the great.
You have seen those people who are so focused on what is bad and wrong with the world they become fearful of the new and no longer experience joy. They have stopped embracing all the potential that lies within them.
There Is A New You Every Day
Every morning when you wake up you are literally being born anew and afresh. Every day there are new things on your mind, people to meet, things to do. As you wake up and start your day, you need not think of the past and remember mistakes; instead, focus upon the future and what you will create.
Try out new routines each day. Doing new things is invigorating to the physical body. Try bringing this same alertness to whatever you normally do to experience familiar activities in new ways.
Developing Selective Awareness
You do many things without having to consciously think about them. Your breathing and many of your bodily functions are automatically controlled. As a child your nervous system develops in such a way that it learns to select information, for if too much information is coming in, there is a lack of focus.
In the development of your being, there is a learned balance between focusing upon those things that need to be paid attention to and not being sidetracked by meaningless, trivial, and constant irrelevant data. As a child you developed selective awareness, tuning out many things in your Universe so that you could tune in to others.
The ability to do many things routinely and habitually without much thought gives you more time and energy to focus on new things that do require thought and attention. However, some of the things you do routinely without questioning may be creating discomfort and a lack of well-being.
Reexamining Routine Things You Take For Granted
Attempting new things can prompt you to reexamine all of the habitual and routine things you take for granted. Some people choose jobs that involve danger or tension so they can experience the awareness and attention required to stay alive. These jobs require them to live in the present moment, focused and fully alert, such as race car drivers and mountain climbers.
A feeling of aliveness comes when you are not operating on automatic but are fully conscious and aware of every action. You do not have to engage in dangerous jobs to feel alive. As you embrace the new, you begin to bring into consciousness those things that may have been routine. You can then experience present-time awareness and live in the moment.
Power comes from
living in the present moment,
where you can take
action and create the future.
As you embrace the new, remember things are always going to get better. The Universe does not take anything away unless something better is coming. Every down cycle is followed by a great leap forward.
It is easy to embrace the new. Play like a child. You have seen how children embrace everything as a new experience. It can be easy to open up and embrace the new if you picture it as easy. Keep a picture in your mind that the future is positive and that it will be better than anything you have ever known. As you grow and evolve, what you create will be even more joyous than what you have now.
Embracing the New: Playsheet
1. Think of at least three new things, skills, or experiences you brought into your life last year. As you list them, think of how you felt as you learned them or brought them into your life.
2. From today’s perspective, how did doing these new things, learning these new skills, or having these new experiences contribute to your life? What new opportunities came about from your embracing the new in these areas?
3. Now, think about at least three new experiences or skills that you would like to bring into your life next year. Set your intention to do these things; join with your innermost being, your soul and higher self; open to its light and energy; and affirm that you will bring these new experiences, opportunities, and skills into your life.
Daily Joy Practice
Open to the joy of what lies ahead today, tomorrow, or even during the next hour. Affirm that you are ready to embrace the new, to become aware of new ways to feel more alive, revitalized, and present in every moment. Release any predetermined pictures of what your day might be like and experience the day fresh, allowing things to be different from what you might have expected or planned. Decide to be more spontaneous and open to all possibilities as they unfold.
Connect with your innermost self and ask for its assistance in embracing new ways of feeling, being, speaking, and acting today. Be alert to new, creative thoughts, activities, and experiences. Explore how you can do something you normally do in a fresh, innovative way. If you realize you are doing something out of habit, stop, connect with your innermost self, and ask to be shown a new way to act. Allow into your mind right now a few pictures and thoughts about how you can experience and embrace the new you today.
Feel the joy in embracing the new today. Note how each day is a fresh start, a new chapter in your life. Each day you are a new you, stronger and more loving, with greater wisdom and more understanding. Sense the increased aliveness that comes just by thinking about bringing fresh energy into your life and living in new ways. You are expanding into a higher future of infinite possibilities.

Believing in Yourself, Even When Others Don't
http://www.wingsfortheheart.com/believing-in-yourself-even-when-others-dont.htm
Inevitably in life, we will face disapproval or rejection from others. It might be a family member, friend, employer, or even a stranger. They might disagree with the way we live our lives, the decisions we make for ourselves, or even who we are.
They might belittle our dreams, criticize our goals, or make hurtful comments that reveal a low opinion of us. These experiences can be quite painful, because we all want to be liked and accepted. We all want to be supported and nurtured and loved by those around us.
Being rejected or ridiculed by others (especially if it's a frequent occurrence) can cause us to question our own self-worth and value as a person. We begin to wonder if maybe they're right. Maybe we're not lovable enough, or talented enough, or "good" enough to be accepted. Following this line of thought for any length of time can be incredibly damaging to our self-confidence.
While it's normal to have a few moments of uncertainty when we are rejected, the worst thing we can do is internalize the negativity we recieve from others. Just because someone has a low opinion of us does not mean we have to accept it as our truth.
They can only come to their conclusions by looking at us from the outside. They don't feel our feelings, think our thoughts, or experience the things we have in our lives. They are seeing us from a completely different perspective than our own.
To complicate matters even further, their own life experiences, thoughts, and feelings can easily be projected onto us, so they may see something that doesn't truly exist, except in their own mind.
So, how do we overcome this? How do we avoid letting other people's negativity erode our belief in ourselves? There are three major points to keep in mind:
1) Reinforcement = Strength. Think of positive thoughts as the antidote to any negativity that comes your way. Feed your mind empowering, positive thoughts daily, preferably several times a day - and most especially after you encounter negativity from another.
The stronger you can build up your belief in yourself, the less you will care about others who insult you, ridicule you, or reject you. You won't be looking to others for your sense of validation or approval, because you will already have your OWN approval.
2) Conserve Your Energy. While it might be tempting to try to explain, defend, or prove yourself to someone who rejects you, this is usually a waste of your time and energy. Once someone forms an opinion of you, they are unlikely to change it.
The more you try to change their minds, the more stubbornly they will dig their heels in and resist. So, simply release your need to prove yourself and accept that they are entitled to their opinions. Their comments and opinions cannot detract from your belief in yourself, unless you allow them to.
3) Limit Your Exposure. Once a person reveals their negative opinion or directs hurtful comments your way, you might want to avoid spending excessive time with them in the future.
This becomes more difficult if it is a family member that you can't just shut out of your life completely. But you can still set boundaries and limit the amount of time you are faced with negativity.
Finally, remember that no one else can define you, or live your life for you, or take away the beauty and uniqueness that is you. They may try, but they won't be successful unless you allow it.
If you instead choose to turn away from the negativity and focus on building a solid foundation of belief in yourself, the negative comments will cease to matter to you. You will go on to create a fulfilling, successful life that reflects exactly who you are, regardless of what others say or do.

It has been a highly energized couple of days for me.
Being bombarded, ( yes that it what it feels like to me) by waves of energy rushing in.
I feel as if these are almost physical waves, that are going through me.
Very strong energies.
Remember the old television cartoon that showed a radio tower emitting sound waves?
Circles emanating from the top of tower?
That's not me.
In the center.
I am on the other end, the waves hitting me head on.
Only one thing left to do...
Time to surf.
Remember to Stay in my heart.
My Emotions are running amuck.
Whoa these are not mine...but they are so intense...
Stay in my heart.
Let the emotions flow through me.
Having many friends going through very chaotic times right now.
Stay in my heart.
So I can be there for them.
Surrounded by moments of such happiness...of doing what I love to do.
Stay in my heart.
Enjoy the now.
These waves are like those big surfing waves in Hawaii or Australia or all those other beautiful places...they curl over and make a perfect circle.
The ones you gotta catch right or you're going to take a tumble...but it is still all good...for it is so beautiful to see.
So for me it is time to surf because I don't want to get dragged down behind the wave, that's a bit rough going for my taste right now...done it already...
I want a big comfy board in which to ride the wave out upon.
View is way better out in front anyways.
Listening to my heart and making decisions from there, makes for a very beautiful surfboard.
Thank you my light family for being here with me and allowing me to share what I feel.
You are in my heart.
Enjoy the ride, whatever it might be for you.
In light and love

Welcome to Brenda's Blog
Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for www.LifeTapestryCreations.com
Summary of Brenda’s December 30, 2012 free, 15-minute, channeled “Creation Energies” show at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: Some of you are concerned that you’re not a Lightworker, you’re not moving fast enough or that gods and angels from above will show you the way – all continuations of Old Age beliefs. You’re inner-voice is your personal GPS system.
The title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her free, weekly, channeled blog for www.LifeTapestryCreations.com: ”You’re a Pied Piper of Joy”
Brenda’s “Creation Energies” BlogTalkRadio.com show contains different channeled material than “Brenda’s Blog” even though both might be about a similar topic.
Dear Ones,
What will 2013 bring? What traumas, shifts and changes will you endure? When does world joy begin? Who are you? All logical questions given what you have experienced in the past few months.
We are not your crystal ball. We cannot tell you how your individual lives will shift. But we can and will provide a global perspective.
You are part of the new earth. You will continue to transition and shift until you are done doing so – which is never. Prior to this New Age/new earth, you did not stop shifting. You changed physically, emotionally and spiritually until your earth death. There was not a day on earth in which some part of you, including your cellular structure, did not change.
The difference between then and now is that everyone shifted in similar ways. You knew what to expect when you reached the ages of 30, 50 or 90. Not everyone aged the same, but there were enough indicators so you knew your shifts were within the “normal” range. Such is no longer the case and that is your trauma. What should you expect if this or that happens? No one knows or sometimes can even guess for not enough Lightworkers have transitioned while on earth to create patterns.
Will your skin turn blue? Will all known animals disappear? Will your loved ones become so boring or so enmeshed in the Old Age patterns that you will not wish to be around them? You want us to provide concrete answers in a shifting world.
Think in terms within your current understanding. College graduates expect to receive job offers in their field. But not all will as those job offers incorporate many variables such as the job market, field of study, interviewing skills, community in which the applicant graduates and on and on. All acceptable variables in your Old Age thinking.
Something similar is now happening. All of you reading these materials are interested in and perhaps studying New Age philosophies and techniques. But that does not necessarily mean you will earn financial or even emotional reward in that particular area of study.
The philosophies you are so excited about today may be boring or even outdated tomorrow. You and your world are indeed shifting. Perhaps you remember typewriters. An exciting invention in the early 1900′s, but out-dated by the year 2000. And so it is for your new interests in your new life.
Do not be fearful about not understanding the “right” information for your life, world or transition. Now that you have moved into the New Age, pieces will be presented to you as you are ready. And so will it happen for all beings, structures and entities now on earth.
There is no need for you to spend hours contemplating governmental changes – unless you find it joyful to do so. It is a waste of your time to create new academic systems unless doing so gives you great joy and on and on.
Was there ever a time in the Old Age when you felt responsible for all parts of the world? Did you not live your life to the best of your ability and attach your thoughts and concerns to those areas important to you?
You are now in a similar place – only you do not yet know what is “normal” or expected. Many of you are worrying about this or that – not because it gives you joy to do so, but because you feel you – as a Lightworker – are responsible for all aspects of this New Age transition.
Logic would tell you that such is not the case, nor could it be. But because you do not yet have a pattern of expectations, you fear that you are not doing enough to change the world.
Your role – and only role – is to do what gives you joy. Similar to deciding which high school classes were your favorites. The difference is you no longer need to take courses you do not like or find boring. Other Lightworkers interested in that area will be only too joyful to step in.
You may be Lightworkers but that title does not carry the responsibility of shifting/saving all Old Age parts of earth.
You are not responsible for everyone and everything. Your only role is to move in the direction of and finally claim your joy. You are not beholden to the Universes, earth, family or anyone else to live, move or shift in any direction because of a need no one is filling or someone tells you that you should.
Your slate was wiped clean on December 22. Allow that thought to move about your being. You truly have the freedom to be you. If you find joy planting flowers in your garden, that is the important role you have in this New Age. If you are fascinated by teleportation, that is your area of study and joy. Listen to yourself. Where does your physical, spiritual and emotional being lead you?
Listen to your inner-voice and you will the perfect Lightworker for this age and every age thereafter.
Your only responsibility is to listen to your inner-voice and allow it to lead you to joy. A joy that may seem trivial to you, but so important to this transition.
You completed the first phase on December 21. Allow your gentle inner-voice to lead you to the next. And please do not fret if you feel the need to rest, move or do what is right for you.
This New Age is freedom and joy – neither of which can be achieved if you feel the need to “plow” through a political system when you would rather be on a beach; or if you follow the lead of your significant other to be on a beach when you would rather be creating an Internet show.
Listen to yourself and you will create your New Age patterns in joy. Listen to others or shoulds – no matter who generates those shoulds – and you will move away from joy and the completion of your next New Age role. So be it. Amen.

Some More About Empathy
from Marshall Rosenberg's book "Non-Violent Communication"
http://www.listeningway.com
.
.
SUSTAINING EMPATHY
I recommend allowing others the opportunity to fully express themselves before turning our attention to solutions or requests for relief. When we proceed too quickly to what people might be requesting, we may not convey our genuine interest in their feelings and needs; instead, they may get the impression that we're in a hurry to either be free of them or to fix their problem. Furthermore, an initial message is often like the tip of an iceberg; it may be followed by yet unexpressed, but related - and often more powerful - feelings. By maintaining our attention on what's going on within others, we offer them a chance to fully explore and express their interior selves. We would stem this flow if we were to shift attention too quickly either to their request or to our own desire to express ourselves.
Suppose a mother comes to us, saying, "My child is impossible. No matter what I tell him to do, he doesn't listen." We might reflect her feelings and needs by saying, "It sounds like you're feeling desperate and would like to find some way of connecting with your son." Such a paraphrase often encourages a person to look within. If we have accurately reflected her statement, the mother might touch upon other feelings: "Maybe it's my fault. I'm always yelling at him." As the listener, we would continue to stay with the feelings and needs being expressed and say, for example, "Are you feeling guilty because you would have liked to have been more understanding of him than you have been at times?" If the mother continues to sense understanding in our reflection, she might move further into her feelings and declare, "I'm just a failure as a mother." We continue to remain with the feelings and needs being expressed: "So you're feeling discouraged and want to relate differently to him?" We persist in this manner until the person has exhausted all her feelings surrounding this issue.
What evidence is there that we've adequately empathized with the other person? First, when an individual realizes that everything going on within has received full empathic understanding, they will experience a sense of relief. We can become aware of this phenomenon by noticing a corresponding release of tension in our own body. A second even more obvious sign is that the person will stop talking. If we are uncertain as to whether we have stayed long enough in the process, we can always ask, "Is there more that you wanted to say?"
WHEN PAIN BLOCKS OUR ABILITY TO EMPATHIZE
A mother can't breastfeed her infant if she doesn't receive adequate nourishment herself. Likewise, if we find ourselves unable or unwilling to empathize despite our efforts, it is usually a sign that we are too starved for empathy to be able to offer it to others. Sometimes if we openly acknowledge that our own distress is preventing us from responding empathically, the other person may come through with the empathy we need.
At other times, it may be necessary to provide ourselves with some "emergency first aid" empathy by listening to what's going on in ourselves with the same quality of presence and attention that we offer to others. The former United Nations secretary-general, Dag Hammarskjold, once said, "The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is happening outside." If we become skilled in giving ourselves empathy, we often experience in just a few seconds a natural release of energy which then enables us to be present with the other person. If this fails to happen, however, we have a couple of other choices.
We can scream - nonviolently. I recall spending three days mediating between two gangs that had been killing each other off. One gang called themselves Black Egyptians; the other, the East St. Louis Police Department. The score was two to one - a total of three dead within a month. After three tense days trying to bring these groups together to hear each other and resolve their differences, I was driving home and thinking how I never wanted to be in the middle of a conflict again for the rest of my life.
The first thing I saw when I walked through the back door was my children entangled in a fight. I had no energy to empathize with them so I screamed nonviolently: "Hey, I'm in a lot of pain! Right now I really do not want to deal with your fighting! I just want some peace and quiet!" My older son, then nine, stopped short, looked at me, and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?" If we are able to speak our pain nakedly without blame, I find that even people in distress are sometimes able to hear our need. Of course I wouldn't want to scream, "What's the matter with you? Don't you know how to behave any better? I just got home after a rough day!" or insinuate in any way that their behavior is at fault. I scream nonviolently by calling attention to my own desperate needs and pain in this moment.
If, however, the other party is also experiencing such intensity of feelings that they can neither hear us nor leave us alone, the third recourse is to physically remove ourselves from the situation. We give ourselves time out and the opportunity to acquire the empathy we need to return in a different frame of mind.
SUMMARY
Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing. Instead of offering empathy, we often have a strong urge to give advice or reassurance and to explain our own position or feeling. Empathy, however, calls upon us to empty our mind and listen to others with our whole being.
In NVC, no matter what words others may use to express themselves, we simply listen for their observations, feelings, needs, and requests. Then we may wish to reflect back, paraphrasing what we have understood. We stay with empathy, allowing others the opportunity to fully express themselves before we turn our attention to solutions or requests for relief.
We need empathy to give empathy. When we sense ourselves being defensive or unable to empathize, we need to (a) stop, breathe, give ourselves empathy, (b) scream nonviolently, or (c) take time out.

Yes I know I am one of those from the Light and Fluffy Love Brigade...at least that is what my kids and family say...lol!
Always the love light hippie...
But I gotta tell you, I am so excited about the coming year!
I know things are horrifically awful in so many parts of the world...but change starts with one person at a time.
I feel the time for change is here now.
I am ready to start with me...
And the feeling I get is that many from around the world have felt a shift within, a calling, a need, to make a difference in the world as well...
I feel in my heart that more and more people are willing to make a change...help out more,do more for others.
Where before so many of us were hermits, adjusting to our remembering, now we have remembered, and we are ready to get to work.
We are ready to make a difference in the world.
To follow our hearts, in which ever way we are needed.
And the support team we carry with us is pretty impressive, gotta tell you...even if they can't be seen.

Dear all, I want to thank you for the 2012. The year has been for all of us extremely exciting but very difficult at times too. The consciousness growth, inner clearing, collective energies, grids, Gaia, Sun and all other planets and stars in the system has been under accelerated evolution and change is never easy, but it can be very rewarding. We all have done enormously good job! Beautiful support we have given to each other countless times, has been very important. Place of lightworkers.org is important and sacred. It is helping us - thank you lw.org for joining us together and making us even stronger "love-workers".
I want to thank you all for the year 2012 and I am very excited of 2013 and new age we are creating together.
With infinite gratitude and love

I continue with this cold...it started as a scratchy throat in Peru and has jumped back and forth between my lungs, my throat and my chest.
The symptoms...all that of a cold, yet my body doesn't necessarily feel sick...very strange feeling indeed.
But the moments of clarity, the connection to all that is around me has changed.
The shift within me growing everyday, as I leave this ill-ness behind...and my body gets clearer and clearer, along with my hearing of my heart.
My body has made me stop,has isolated me, as I integrate these changes within.
The 21st for me was a very calm day, I spent it with my children, relaxing and being together.
Not really knowing what to expect, yet not thinking the world was ending...somehow that just felt silly to me, the world ending...
I know of many that had amazing experiences on the 21st itself.
For me a huge shift had occurred earlier in he week, while visiting Peru.
A beautiful experience,for which there can be no words.
But it was on the 22nd that I started to understand a little more.
For I feel the 21st was indeed the tipping point for our earth.
The reason for the ending of the calendars, to point to a moment when we would reach the tipping point.
The calendars ended, for a decision had not been made yet, there were no predictions, for there was nothing to predict.
The time when all souls on earth decided whether to tip towards the Light or towards the Dark was an unknown future.
If the majority had tipped towards the dark...our planet would have continued on a self destructive path.
A journey taken many times before by many of us.
The experience of total destruction of a world...
I feel that those souls who wished to experience that path continued on ,maybe in another reality,and with that energy went that which had enslaved us...maybe that is why I feel the huge surrounding negative energy is no longer attached to the grid, like it has left us for the energy here is too high to feed the negativity.
Sure there is still an enormous job ahead of us, the job of cleaning our earth.
The next step in our expansion.
But at that moment,on the 21st, when the scales where set perfectly in neutral...
...That OUT breath of Creation...
We chose to experience Love.
To heal our world.
Not to have someone save us.
Not to have someone clean up this mess we have made.
But to remember that we have all the tools within us to create a new world.
We chose to be the Love we are.
To experience Life in the Light.
To allow ourselves to remember the Light within us.
To be who we truly are.
Fractals of Source.
All returning to Oneness.
So to me,I am in deep gratitude that I am still here.
I feel it could have gone either way...
For life can be so fragile, even within the powerful beings that we are...
But we are still here.
Integrating the shift within, all of us in our own way.
Moving forward towards being free.
So I feel the need to celebrate.
It feels to me as if the celebration has already begun.
The beginning of the new is here.
Our creation will begin to unfurl itself, like the wings of a butterfly.
Freshly out of its cocoon.
Preparing to fly.
To reach for the sky.
Keep dreaming,keep reaching within.
The best is yet to come...
We did it, is what my heart says.
Time to celebrate.
All my love to all my family of Light.
And in such gratitude for All.
I think it is time to step into our Light and get to work...
And I think work will not be what it used to be...and that is a good thing.
Sharing from my heart with Love and Light

I have never felt like I fit in on this beautiful earth.
Even as a small child.
Something was missing, it just didn't feel like Home.
Been searching for that feeling of Home all my life.
That loving feeling that signifies Home and all my loved ones.
That feeling I knew existed yet seemed so elusive.
Tonight it hit me.
I realized I no longer felt ill at ease here on this earth.
No longer felt like I didn't fit in.
No longer have the need to "go" Home.
In fact, I have never felt such intense,beautiful connection to Mother Earth...she is beautiful beyond words to me.
I am Home.
That is why everything is different.
That is why I feel such peace.
That is why everything looks so beautiful.
And now when I look at the stars I feel they are Home too.
So wherever my eyes look, I see Home.
I am no longer one or the other.
I just am.
Home.
I am free now.
Very different feeling indeed, no longer searching for Home, just a deep knowing that I have finally arrived.
I have discovered my heart, and have finally found Home.
It was here all along.
I just couldn't see it...
Home was in my heart.
In light and Love
May all those who seek for a home, find it.

I am starting to realize, more and more each day, that something major has shifted within me.
Physically I feel stronger every day.
Lately I have had a need to exercise everyday as well.
My body yearns for movement, especially stretching.
A lot of stretching and popping, mostly in my back.
I am guided by my body.
Spending large amounts of time in a salted bath.
My body needs salted water it seems, especially at the end of the day.
Food tastes different.
Moving more towards fruits and vegetables.
I have had urges for sugar, which is rare for me as I am usually a salty gal.
Juicing more.
Sleeping patterns are all over the place.
My body seems to be following its own internal clock of sleeping and waking.
I never know when sleep will over take me.
Out of no where I will be exhausted and then I fall asleep very deeply.
For several hours.
I easily lose track of time, in fact it doesn't really exist anymore.
At this point I feel that I am where I am at the perfect time, but the actual time doesn't matter...
And somehow it all works out.
My perception of the world has changed.
I see the Light in everything around me.
I used to feel the love in everything, but now I see the common thread in everything.
I see Life.
Day by day I further understand the immensity of what we all have accomplished.
I also understand what my new role will be.
The immensity of that would have overwhelmed me in the past.
But not anymore.
For the shift within me has made me into an earth server.
It has empowered me to believe that yes one person can indeed make a difference in the world.
Be the change you wish to see in the world...as the famous saying goes...
It all starts with one person standing up for one issue that needs to be brought to Light.
Or one person helping another.
Or one person smiling at another...
The ways to spread the Light are infinite.
And yes a loving smile is just as full of love as a hug or a kiss, for love is love.
This shift within me has grown day by day since the 21st.
It seems to have filled the space left behind by all the emotional releases that I have experienced since my remembering.
Where before I felt like I was straddling two worlds, now I feel like there is a door between the two and all I need is to open the door and step back and forth.
I am able to go between the two much easier.
With a sense of calmness.
I also have felt intensely connected to Mother Earth and to the sun and the moon and the stars.
As soon as I step outside, it is like I am being nourished by everything that is nature.
Matters not if it is day or night.
It fills me, saturates me, and makes me feel energized.
Sun light makes my whole being vibrate.
Feelings of bliss when the sun surrounds me.
I see my soul family differently too.
A sense of completeness when I am with them.
Like my karmic debt has been repaid.
Like I fulfilled my end of the contract.
And I feel joy in thinking that they made the shift with me.
That they are all here in my life.
For them I am so grateful.
I have had downloads of geometric designs streaming into my vision.
Feels like the top of my head is opened up and information is dumped in.
Sacred geometry and especially the star tetrahedron, numbers and symbols.
Further understanding of geometry and of frequency and sound.
I feel something did happen in my world.
As if I had been looking at everything from one side of the road...
Now I have crossed the road and I can still see everything, but the perspective is different.
I also have a deep knowing that there is no going back for me in the world as it was.
Doesn't really matter what anyone else says did or didn't happen.
For I understand that what they experienced is their experience alone.
Their contribution to this world.
And that is as it should be.
Once again the me I was has grown to so much more.
I have a feeling that I have expanded, hugely.
But so have all of us.
Because we are all indeed connected.
And we all have chosen to stay in this amazing earth.
And to continue this path.
But now we have no limitations within us.
Nothing to hold us back.
Freedom is now a reality for all of us, the freedom to be who we really are.
Shine on my family.
Live your life as you have always dreamed.
Follow your heart.
For we are all indeed capable of abundance in our lives.
It is indeed our divine right.
It is time to step into who we truly are.
Spread our beautiful light.
All of us amazing beyond words.
In light and love

~**~ " The fastest way to freedom is to feel your feelings. " ~**~
This sounds pretty simple, but though it's easy to know you have feelings, easy to know their weight
and agitation and suddenness of mood, it is another, more subtle matter to feel them - that is, to let
them penetrate your being the way wind snaps through a flag.
This is necessary because if we don't feel our feelings all the way through, they never leave us, and
then we do all kinds of unusual things to get out from under them.
This is the cause of many an addiction.
I've delivered myself many times by becoming involved in what surrounds my pain or sadness,
while never feeling the thing itself. So when someone asks me how I feel, I wind up retelling the
circumstance of the pain, but not feeling it.
Or strategizing what to do next, but not feeling it. Or anticipating reactions,
but not feeling what is mine to feel.
Or swimming in the anger of injustice, but not diving through the wound.
Though we fear it, feeling our feelings is the only clear and direct way to free our hearts of pain.
** M E D I T A T I O N **
* Meditate on the ways you might avoid your feelings.
* In your silence, stop holding them off with words or reasons or busyness.
* Simply be a shore and let your feelings wash against you like waves.

Still snowing in Ark....about 8" on the ground. Since the day started out with freezing rain and sleet for five hours first the trees and powerlines are HEAVY! We've already had several trees break or fall in the yard.....poor chickens, two huge branches are laying across their coop! (Don't worry, they are tucked safely into their hen house all warm and toasty. It is solid as a brick wall, I built it well;) Anyways, we had one decent sized cedar tree barely miss the garage, and at the moment there is a big branch laying across our service line, so if it don't quit snowing soon, or blowing 30 mph, we are probably gonna be in the dark for a day or four. Nah......good thoughts, good thoughts....... it is the perfect snow for making snow balls too.
Anyways, I thought I'd post a few more jokes just for the laughs....
1. Off to Vegas
A man came home from work one day to find his wife on the front porch with her bags packed.
'Just where the heck do you think you're going!', said the man.
'I'm going to Las Vegas', said the wife, 'I just found out I can get $400 a night for what I give you for free!
'The man said, 'Wait a minute!', and then ran inside the house only to come back a few minutes later with his suitcases in hand.
'Where the heck are you going?', said the wife.
The man said, 'I want to see how you're gonna live on $800 a year!'
2. The Buffalo Theory
The "Buffolo Theory" of Beer..
A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers, and that's why beer is so GOOD for you!
3. Naming the Twins
A man was taking his wife, who was pregnant with twins, to the hospital when his car went out of control and crashed.
Regaining consciousness, he saw his brother, a relentless practical joker, sitting at his bed side.
He asked his brother how his wife was doing and his brother said, "Don't worry, everybody is fine and you have a son and a daughter.
But the hospital was in a real hurry to
get the birth certificates filed and since both you and your wife were unconscious, I named them for you."
The husband was thinking to himself, "Oh no, what has he done now?" and asked with some trepidation, "Well, bro, what did you name them?"
Whereupon, his brother replied, "I named the little girl Denise."
The husband, relieved, said, "That's a lovely name! And what did you come up with for my son?"
The brother winked and replied, "Denephew."
4. Southern Comments
Exclamations:
"Well knock me down and steal muh teeth!"
"Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit."
Threats:
"I'll slap you so hard, your clothes will be outtastyle."
"This'll jar your preserves."
"Don't you be makin' me open a can o' whoop-ass on ya!"
Good Things/Compliments:
"Cute as a sack full of puppies."
"If things get any better, I may have to hire someone to help me enjoy it."
"Gooder than grits."
The Weather:
"It's so dry, the trees are bribing the dogs."
"It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch."
Wintry roads are said to be "slicker than otter snot."
Descriptions:
A bothersome person is "like a booger that you can't thump off."
When something is bad then you say, "that ain't no count."
If something is hard to do, it's "like trying to herd cats."
"He ran like his feet was on fire and his ass was catchin."
A hectic schedule keeps you "Busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor."
Insults:
"She's uglier than homemade soap."
"Your momma's so fat, when she stepped up on the scale to be weighed, it said 'To be continued.'"
"He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
"Uglier than a lard bucket full of armpits."
"The wheels still turning, but the hamsters dead"
Any insulting statement is always followed by "bless his/her heart."
Example: "She's dumber than a door knob, bless her heart."
5. An Atheist and a Bear
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the cause was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
6. Cursing Fish
One day, a priest decides to take a walk to the pier near his church. He looks around and finally stops to watch a fisherman load his boat. The fisherman notices, and asks the priest if he would like to join him for a couple of hours. The priest agrees. The fisherman asks if the priest has ever fished before; the priest says no. He baits the hook for him and says, "Give it a shot, father."
After a few minutes, the priest hooks a big fish and struggles to get it in the boat. The fisherman says, "Whoa, what a big sonofabitch!"
The priest says, "Ah, please sir, can you mind your language?"
The fisherman responds (thinking quickly), "I'm sorry father, but that's what this fish is called---a sonofabitch!"
"Oh, I'm sorry," says the priest. "I didn't know."
After the trip, the priest brings the fish to the church and spots the bishop. "Eminence, look at this big sonofabitch!"
"Please father," says the bishop. "Mind your language, this is a house of God."
"No, you don't understand," says the priest. "That's what this fish is called, and I caught it. I caught this sonofabitch!"
"Hmmm," says the bishop. "You know, I could clean this sonofabitch and we could have it for dinner."
So the bishop takes the fish and cleans it, and brings it to Mother Superior at the convent.
"Mother Superior, could you cook this sonofabitch for our dinner tonight with the Pope?"
"My lord, what language!" says the mother.
"No, sister," says the bishop. "That's what the fish is called---a sonofabitch! Father caught it, I cleaned it, and we'd like you to cook it"
"Hmmm," replies Mother Superior. "Yes, I'll cook that sonofabitch tonight."
While the Pope is over for dinner that evening he remarks that the fish is superb. He asks where they got it.
"I caught the sonofabitch!" says the priest.
"And I cleaned the sonofabitch!" says the bishop.
"And I cooked the sonofabitch!" says Mother Superior.
The Pope stares at them for a minute with a steely gaze, but then takes off his hat, puts his feet up on the table, and says, "You know, you f*#kers are all right.".
7. Devil in church
One Sunday morning, Satan appeared before a small town congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front church door, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away.
Soon, everyone was gone, except for an elderly gentleman who sat calmly. Satan walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, sure do."
Satan asked, "Aren't you going to run?"
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
Perturbed, Satan asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years."
8. An Arkansas Delivery
In the backwoods of Arkansas, Mr. Stewart's wife went into labor in the middle of the night. The doctor was called in to assist in the delivery.
To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm doing." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.
"Don't be in a rush to put the lantern down. I think there's yet another wee one to come." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another baby.
"Now don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man. It seems there's yet another!" cried the doctor.
The new father scratched his head in bewilderment and asked the doctor. "Do ya think it's the light that's attractin' them?"
9. The Cross-Eyed Cow
One day, a farmer was tending to his livestock when he noticed that one of his cows was completely cross-eyed. He called up a veterinarian friend of his who told him to bring in his cow. The vet took one look at the cow, stuck a tube up the cow's butt, and blew into the tube until the cow's eyes straightened out. The vet charged the farmer a hundred bucks, and the farmer went home happy. About a week later, the cow's eyes were cross-eyed again, but this time the farmer figured he could probably take care of it himself. So he called his hired hand over, and together they put a tube up the cow's butt. The farmer put his lips to the tube and started to blow. Strangely, nothing happened, so he asked his hired hand to give it a try. The hired hand removed the tube, turned it around, put it in the cow's butt and started to blow.
"What are you doing?" asked the farmer, horrified.
"Well, I wasn't gonna use the side that YOU had put your lips on."
10. The Answer
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken takes out a cigarette and begins to smoke. The egg, pissed off, takes one look at the chicken, rolls over and pulls the blanket over him and says, "I guess we answered that question!"

So my heart tells me that the 21st was indeed a new beginning for our earth.
I should be vibrating high.
Feeling great.
Uhhhh, no not quite.
I'm pretty sick.
A massive cold that started with an aching throat while in Peru, it moved through my chest yesterday, and has parked itself in my head.
Haven't been sick like this in over a year and a half.
Interesting timing.
My Sally the dog is sick too.
She started scratching her chest on the 21st, and scratched her chest raw.
She has been sleeping for the last two days.
Is still eating and drinking water normally, but she did not want to go for a walk last night.
Unheard of.
All these energies are indeed affecting all, including the animals of course.
So we both have been quarantined from the rest of the family.
I was supposed to cook for twelve for Christmas Eve...looking iffy.
Hard to cook dinner from the bedroom...
Strange way to start the new era.
Sick.
Oh man I hope we both get better soon, so we can celebrate.
I want to have a party.
Never thought it would be like this, thought I would be in a very different place after the 21st.
Didn't know how or where, but never thought it would be sick in bed! Lol!
Oh well.
Our bodies are pretty good at knocking us down on our butts when we have stressed them out too much...
So Sally and I are planning on laying real low this Christmas.
But that is ok.
Making it through the end of the world is exhausting!
Hope all are feeling better than Sally and I .
We are a rough looking pair.
We will see what tomorrow will bring.
Meanwhile, pass the tissues will yah?
And can I have a big glass of orange juice?
Please send us both healing and light.
Thank you.
In light and love

Today my mind took to wonder thinking about the Mayan prophecy.
After all it has caused so much fear and joy.
For those that believed it was the end...fear.
For those that believed it was a beginning...joy.
And I feel in my heart the 21st was the Big Bang for us..the beginning of our new creation.
For I believe it was on that date that we could have tipped either way...
If there was more fear that the world was going to end, then maybe it would have.
If there was more joy that we were starting a new beginning...then that's were we are.
At the beginning of the new world.
NOW is when we create the foundations of what is to come.
For us individually and for the world.
My heart tells me the world could have ended.
Cataclysms could have occurred and destroyed us.
Wether by asteroid.
Or sun flare.
Or something...but yet it didn't.
It feels as if it was the last timeline to integrate.
So to me that explains why the Mayans stopped on that date.
That was the date in which we passed a tipping point.
There was nothing to write because a decision by us had not been decided back then...
And we tipped towards the Light.
Could have gone either way.
Looking iffy for a while there...
But we did it.
The 21st felt like a birthday to me.
The birth of our new world.
Now that there is no countdown clock anymore, it is time to start building the new.
I personally have no desire to be a hermit anymore.
I will follow my heart where ever it leads.
And I will continue to take leaps of faith into the unknown.
For the unknown is not scary at all, it is just a blank slate waiting to be written.
I followed my heart to Peru and had such an amazing experience.
And what about the "dark" side?
I guess to me there is no dark side.
It is there to keep us from remembering so that we can be fully immersed in this world, experiencing life day to day.
Maybe we have been programmed to be afraid of the dark so that we could not trust the stars and remember our star families.
For if you remember who you are, and that death doesn't exist, then you are no longer playing the game of separation.
The dark is the Light playing the dark ...
So these are my thoughts.
Do I wish I could have turned to Light and gone tripping the Light fantastic across the Universe?
Of course.
Do I wish we had instantly turned to heaven on earth?
Of course.
Am I thankful that I am still here?
Yes.
Because I think there was a chance I wouldn't be.
And for that I am so grateful.
So don't be disappointed my light family.
Stay in the flow.
Create.
Live your life.
If it feels bad, let it go.
It is time to enjoy the richness of life again.
It is time to shine our Light and help those around us as they too awake.
It may take a while...but heck we got time, we are eternal.
Happy Birthday Mother Earth.
You are shining so bright.
In light and Love

I am here in Lima, Peru.
Followed my heart here, and it has been an amazing journey of discovery.
Today went with friends to explore Lima and what they told me has made me so incredibly angry.
Unbelievable audacity of the government and the media with their needless fear mongering.
.
Lima is the fourth largest city in the Americas.
15 million people or so.
What my friends David and Juan told me is that the people of Lima are petrified.
Especially the children.
Why?
BECAUSE WHEN THE CHIlDREN ARE WATCHING CARTOONS...Their program will be interrupted and A COUNTDOWN CLOCK pops up telling of the world ending on the 21st.
Oh yes you read it right, they are targeting the innocent children and filling them with fear.
The whole city is terrified.
The fear is so great that people are putting their lives on hold and their energy is being dragged down to one of fear, rather than the joy that should be in their minds this time of year.
All they hear about is of the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world.
So I reach out to all who read this, please send healing, love and positivity to this beautiful place and the 8 million souls living here.
In fact to this beautiful country of almost 30 million people, who seem to be being bombarded by fear propaganda about the end of the world.
And especially to the innocent children.
Thank you all.
In light and love

Beneath the tender life that wafts before your eyes is a stream of energy that is the substance of love. It is not for anyone to decipher the mysteries of life before understanding the nature of this stream of particulate light that carries intelligence within its waveform and oscillates within the range of perception by a human being in the nearness of material frequency phase shift. That is the nature of love, to be sensed before it is understood, but in the entrainment of the stream of love that underlies life is love brought into focus as some form that exists within the eternal numinous essence that each person understands themselves to be. Caught as the timebound race of humanity in perpetual sine-wave up and down of experience comprehended via emotional input and intellectual logic-making patterns, sensing a connection between the numinous essence of oneself and another form of love-sourced life is at best punctuated by lingering moments of doubt but never so brutally beheld as it is when the connection is unexpectedly, irrevocably (in terms of form) severed. You believe there is continuity of love, which is the only truth that withstands scrutiny in the laboratories of human experience, regardless of the school of thought to which you adhere. There is no true death other than the death of a patterning of form. Greet this, at least, as news worth hearing today.
The latest loss of form-based love is inevitably designed to destabilize the collective consciousness of the human race at a time when it is vulnerable to being preyed upon by thoughts of annihilation and environmental degradation. Thought takes form when it is not being allowed to be entombed with graceful release of fear and anxiety. The present moment is the time to be honest about the entire truth of a collective existence from which there is a light yearning to become hidden no more. In the darkness of grief, feel in the depths of the heart the holy connection each one has to the essence of love and know that there is no separation from it. The insanity of the day is yet to be understood. In the reflection of that, lean on each other and know we are with you in ways that have yet to be known but can be felt in the heart as solace and brotherhood, soul-hugging big breaths of peace, and bends of light that bring the brilliance of love into better focus as the days slink toward the lengthening of night. Soon the time will come for all to be understood and the understanding to be brought forward to all who have felt the stabbing pain of loss reverberate through their individual world, whether directly or as a resonator of the interwoven human being that is the people of Earth. There is no loss that is unfelt by all, and no comfort given that does not bring every aspect of the consciousness of humanity into deeper understanding of itself.
However, the day is one for grieving, and the time is one for realizing that the loss of one wisp of precious love-sourced life is felt for every heart that is torn from its breast, wherever, whenever, however it is staged. Know that the world grieves some loss with every breath you take, somewhere. Know that feeling the pang of devastating violence tearing apart the inner core of being is felt by your kin on the global level, that none escapes the touch of healing who seeks to understand and be comforted, that nowhere is life less lived than where it is allowed to go unconnected to the stream of love underneath its form. The damage has had its desired effect. Now it is for those who can to begin the work of cleaning up the mess.
Go into the next day of shadow knowing that the way out is ahead. There is no dark chasm to swallow up those who take the step forward, no intimidating monster waiting to get those who go into the middle of the night without fear. You have already known the taste of terror, of loss, and of insanity. You have had the bitter sip of innocence sold out, and have taken the initiation of the heart broken in grief. Grief is around the planet like a blanket, and nothing can tear the love of what is grieved from you if the love is still sensed. There is a sea of love beneath the grief. If you have felt its current, you have felt the reality of life unending. If you have been baptised in its light, you know the truth of life unending. It is from the depths of this love that your strength as a people is coming into being, and in the realization of this, the spectre of hate and the illusions it spawns, the beauty it seizes, and the stories it interrupts are powerless to consume further. Take the step forward, as one, knowing that the love that underlies the life that is in you is one, inescapable and unending. Tear the blinders away and see the inner truth unfold around you, as life continues and love begins a new chapter in the lives of humanity everywhere. Know that you are one people. Love lights your way.

There is an infiltration to the minds and to the emotions of collective consciousness. Globally this time of year is celebrated in various ways in many cultures. The fact is that there is a frequency of joy and happiness during this season. This is the expected frequency of the season. Despite personal feelings and emotional challenges…the season represents a joyous/happy frequency or vibration. When opposing frequencies which are exact opposite of joy and happiness are savagely injected into our reality during these times it scrambles the human mind. There is emotional confusion to the psyche. We are collectively scrambled. There is fear, sadness with shades of happiness as deep down we are naturally wired to engage in the joy of the season.
When children are harmed it impacts the emotional field more strongly especially when there are severe degrees of brutality. We are traumatized in a way that we are unable to process. People are left trying to figure out where to place their emotions. There is guilt for being happy while others mourn.
Reality does not operate on coincidences but rather a series of events resulting in each new outcome. Because life is a grand game we must remember that life is viewed and played through the eyes of the character. Characters have damaged or virus ridden programs. Humans are capable of immeasurable levels of wickedness and goodness. Because of this when we are chemically scrambled by certain substances such as pharmaceuticals or when we are emotionally shattered or perhaps when the brain has connective issues then any assortment of emotional responses and actions become possible. Human emotions are very fragile as we are dependent on electrochemical impulses to process and to experience the sensations of reality. In the game of our world minds are experimented on yielding the most significant results from the extremely fragile and vulnerable minds. The mind of the weak is a susceptive environment for establishing fragmenting programs.
In light of the resent tragedies the media will continue to repeatedly show pictures as tragic events are turned into a movie on moment to moment basis. We watch it over and over while our minds and emotions are taken over. Collectively we are integrated into the tragic experience. Repeatedly inundating our minds with replays of any tragedy is the fastest and perhaps the simplest way to navigate the collective into a common bandwidth and from there collective inserts and programming can more efficiently be administered. We won’t be the wiser as we will are automatically emotionally online (reality matrix feed) at the same time. It is the energy of the collective that is used to power reality in whatever shape it takes. So ideally in order to direct that power source to support the desired form or function of reality it is necessary that there is a convergence of the collective in an appropriate level of resonance or output.
While the mentally ill may walk the streets of all cities it is not them that seem to reign down tragedy. These mass killings are generally carried out by educated and according to the media, brilliant minds; honor roll and exceptional students but generally troubled minds. These are never the mentally ill living on the street.
The new year/cycle is coming and as always minds are prepped with tragedy as we are reminded in the media that the “nation mourns”. Most often this kind of collective jarring occurs right after the first of the year with tragic occurrences that rocks the world. Many were already making their way into 2013 shaken by personal tragedies and now the collective has also been imprinted. When trauma is trapped in the body and the mind this gives rise to a great many illnesses that may plague or ravage the body. How many people will be cancer ridden in the coming year, how many will develop heart problems because their hearts are broken. How many will become crippled by fear as we look to our leaders to protect us, how much more of our personal freedom will we surrender in light of these events. Although there is pain we must find a way to process this if not we will become consumed by it and should our bodies succumb to these imbalances we will not be the wiser about when it all started.
Remember that children are also beings who have come here with their own unique map and agreements etc., we must not lose sight of this as we shift into a space of compassion…not to be confused with pity. These are tough moments but we must become aware of the journey we take, being aware of how 2013 is being shaped in our personal reality. This is the dance of the character. How we store these tragedies will shape and imprint us as individuals and as a collective. Change the shape of your current paradigm my changing your perception of the external playground. Have compassion but make your gift to the external world a shift in perception. Release the guilt and override opposing energies by authentically experiencing joy this season with family and friends as many will be unable to do so.

Have you ever read one of those self help books or gone to a seminar and they tell you to focus on your passion and all other things will fall into place? I am now a walking example of that after 20 years of stuggleing and doing what I thought I had to do, instead of what I loved. Recently my husband, daughter and I moved to the Southwest from the Northwest. Our intention was to get out of the rain. We loved this past summer and though it was hot, we couldn't believe how healthy we became. Sun isn't in very high volume in the Western part of Oregon.
Then another funny thing happened, besides our health and spirits improving, I began to channel! I have always wanted to help others to heal through channelling. You see I come from a long line of healers and so it was always a dream of mine to continue the heritage. What I didn't know that was in the past 20 years I have been channelling in a light way to my intimate group of friends. Only thing was, I always thought I had to do more, be more and know more. Without realizing it, I was pushing spirit away to some degree. So about 6 months ago, I started giving messages out to family and friends in a bigger way and it just flowed from me. With the push of a small group of supportive people, and of course my Husband, I started professionally channelling and am stunned at the testimonials that I am getting.
So, back to the self help books/people/seminars. You remember how they talk about visualizing yourself where you want to be and other dreams and pretty soon you will believe them and they will be made concrete in your world? I always tried to do this, but just couldn't materialize that last step...my imagination couldn't get past how my dreams really were too out there.
Guess what! I am following my passion and those visualizations and dreams I had are starting to manifest in a big way! Every morning when I wake up and start the day, I am so grateful to be doing my passion and to be helping people. My journalling has expanded and my mind is catching up to me being on my true path. I am also helping Adama of Telos to channel answers to people as my contribution to others as I have been helped along my path. I answer his Email at AdamaHighPriestofTelos@gmail.com exclusively.
SO Follow your PASSION everyone! The universe really does want to help you.

So... I went to 4chan, a thing I hadn't done in a long time, and I took a trip back to the old ways of feeling, it was weird, painful, but now I feel more alive.
I clicked on a "baww thread", which is mainly a thread where everyone posts heart breaking experiences, stories, etc. Guaranteed you'll end up feeling like sh*t after a few posts. Then I went into another thread, and I saw a picture someone posted, in it a girl could be seen, it looked a LOT like my latest crush, though it wasn't her. I went through all kinds of emotions I haven't felt in a long time.
Anyway, where I'm getting with this is... I was so detached from myself for a long time, I felt like in a constant tasteless state of being without realising it, nothing mattered, nothing was worth it, etc., but not sad, that would be "taste". I must say though, I almost died of sadness last night and today in the morning. But just now, I went to the kitchen to get some milk, and I really felt better, I kind of forgot about all this ascension stuff, this stuffed place... maybe it was all the endorphins liberated by sadness. I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I love you guys, this place has been very useful for me, but getting out of it for a while really put things into perspective. I felt alive.
I'm saying this because I think I have heart problems, and yesterday I was taking a nap, I was feeling really bad, dreaming bad stuff, and then I woke up, went to the kitchen and almost lost consciousness because my heart wasn't beating, I got scared and it started because of that. I remember once someone told me in my natal chart you could see that I can die of feeling lonely, I was likely to die of a heart attack or something like that, also respiratory problems. All those symptoms have been manifesting in me for quite a while though I haven't told anyone. I kind of hope I die of a heart attack someday soon. I have been thinking what would the effects be if that happened, it would be a kind of sacrifice for the better of humanity.
I've got so many mixed emotions right now, I'm not sad, though I wouldn't really care if I was about to die, I've got nothing else to live for really. I'm just bored, not sad or depressed. I just wanted to share this because maybe someone out there needs to get out of the things that are posted here for a while, and doesn't know it.
Again, don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking this place, or its userbase.
Take care everyone.

Rush's Cygnus X-1 Duology consists of Book I: The Voyage and Book II: Hemispheres. Book I is the last song on the A Farewell to Kings album, while Book II is the first song on Hemispheres. Part one clocks in at ten minutes and twenty-five seconds (10:25), and part two is eighteen minutes and five seconds (18:05).
[edit] General storyline
In the constellation of Cygnus lies a mysterious black hole that is simply titled "Cygnus X-1" (Cygnus X-1 is believed to be an actual black hole). An explorer aboard the ship "Rocinante" is curious about the black hole as it draws him in ("The x-ray is her siren song..."). Eventually, the pull of gravity is too great. ("Every nerve is torn apart") suggests the death of the traveler yet he carries on into Book II which further suggest his cognitive awareness and spirit are all that remain.
The traveler is left in a mysterious land, finding himself in a world caught up in the struggle between Heart and Mind. The logical thinkers are led by Apollo and the emotional people are ruled by Dionysus. Apollo has his people build cities and explore the depths of science and knowledge, but Dionysus lures many of them into the "forests" and provides love, which many felt that Apollo's society was missing. Civil war breaks out as the two different ways of life clash. This leads up to the point where the Rocinante spins through the black hole of Cygnus X-1 and into this mysterious land. (At this point in the song "Hemispheres", a short snippet of the song "Cygnus X-1" plays, representing the place where the two pieces join.)
When the explorer spirit reflects on what he sees, he becomes tormented in the lack of balance of the people who insist on the extremes they were presented with. Provoked by all the unacceptable fighting, the spirit of the lost hero lets out a silent scream, which is felt by the warriors. This causes the people to cease their struggle and unite together. The explorer is regarded as a hero, and is deemed "Cygnus, the God of Balance" for his arrival that brought the two sides together.
Lyrics to Cygnus X-1 Book one and Two ( I hadn't read the part 1 lyrics...which makes this even more poignant to me now...... our hearts Know !)

"Cygnus X-1, Book One: The Voyage"
[Prologue:]
In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force: the black hole
of Cygnus X-1...
Six Stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night...
[1]
Invisible to telescopic eye
Infinity, the star that would not die
All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by her fearsome force
Through the void
To be destroyed
Or is there something more?
Atomized...at the core?
Or through the Astral Door?
To soar...
[2]
I set a course just east of Lyra
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery
The x-ray is her siren song
My ship cannot resist her long
Nearer to my deadly goal
Until the black hole
Gains control...
[3]
Spinning, whirling
Still descending
Like a spiral sea
Unending...
Sound and fury
Drown my heart
Every nerve
Is torn apart...
"Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres"
[I. Prelude]
When our weary world was young
The struggle of the ancients first began
The gods of love and reason
Sought alone to rule the fate of man
They battled through the ages
But still neither force would yield
The people were divided
Every soul a battlefield
[II. Apollo / Dionysus]
[Apollo: Bringer Of Wisdom]
'I bring truth and understanding
I bring wit and wisdom fair
Precious gifts beyond compare
We can build a world of wonder
I can make you all aware
I will find you food and shelter
Show you fire to keep you warm
Through the endless winter storm
You can live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform'
The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise
But one day the streets fell silent
Yet they knew not what was wrong
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong
The wise men were consulted
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus
To find out what they had lost
[Dionysus: Bringer Of Love]
'I bring love to give you solace
In the darkness of the night
In the Heart's eternal light
You need only trust your feelings
Only love can steer you right
I bring laughter, I bring music
I bring joy and I bring tears
I will soothe your primal fears
Throw off those chains of reason
And your prison disappears'
The cities were abandoned
And the forests echoed song
They danced and lived as brothers
They knew love could not be wrong
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the stars
The people were contented
And the gods watched from afar
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared
Bringing wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men despaired
[III. Armageddon: The Battle Of Heart and Mind]
The universe divided
As the heart and mind collided
With the people left unguided
For so many troubled years
In a cloud of doubts and fears
Their world was torn asunder into hollow
Hemispheres
Some fought themselves, some fought each other
Most just followed one another
Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their hearts were so unclear
And the truth could not appear
Their spirits were divided into blinded
Hemispheres
Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light
'My Rocinante sailed by night
On her final flight'
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place
[IV. Cygnus: Bringer Of Balance]
I have memory and awareness
But I have no shape or form
As a disembodied spirit
I am dead and yet unborn
I have passed into Olympus
As was told in tales of old
To the city of Immortals
Marble white and purest gold...
I see the gods in battle rage on high...
Thunderbolts across the sky...
I cannot move, I cannot hide...
I feel a silent scream begin inside...
Then all at once the chaos ceased
A stillness fell, a sudden peace
The warriors felt my silent cry
And stayed their struggle, mystified
Apollo was atonished
Dionysus thought me mad
But they heard my story further
And they wondered, and were sad
Looking down from Olympus
On a world of doubt and fear
Its surface splintered
Into sorry Hemispheres
They sat a while in silence
Then they turned at last to me
'We will call you Cygnus
The god of Balance you shall be'
[V. The Sphere: A Kind Of Dream]
We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim
Let the truth of love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the heart and mind united in a single
Perfect

Relationships: True Love and the Transcendence of Duality
By Kim Eng
http://www.eckharttolle.com
During my travels, one of the most frequently asked question is “What is it like to be in relationship with an enlightened being?” Why this question? Perhaps they have the idea or image of an ideal relationship, and want to know more about it. Perhaps their mind wants to project itself to a future time when they, too, will be in an ideal relationship and find themselves through it.
What is it like to be in relationship with an enlightened being?
As long as I have the idea in my head “I have a relationship” or “I am in a relationship,” no matter with whom, I suffer. This I have learnt.
With the concept of “relationship” come expectations, memories of past relationships, and further personally and culturally conditioned mental concepts of what a “relationship” should be like. Then I would try to make reality conform to these concepts. And it never does. And again I suffer. The fact of the matter is: there are no relationships. There is only the present moment, and in the moment there is only relating.
How we relate, or rather how well we love, depends on how empty we are of ideas, concepts, expectations.
Recently, I asked Eckhart to say a few words on the ego’s search for “love relationships.” Our conversation quickly went deeper to touch upon some of the most profound aspects of human existence. Here’s what he said:
Eckhart Tolle: What is conventionally called “love” is an ego strategy to avoid surrender. You are looking to someone to give you that which can only come to you in the state of surrender. The ego uses that person as a substitute to avoid having to surrender. The Spanish language is the most honest in this respect. It uses the same verb, te quiero, for “I love you” and “I want you.” To the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change. The ego singles someone out and makes them special. It uses that person to cover up the constant underlying feeling of discontent, of “not enough,” of anger and hate, which are closely related. These are facets of an underlying deep seated feeling in human beings that is inseparable from the egoic state.
When the ego singles something out and says “I love” this or that, it’s an unconscious attempt to cover up or remove the deep-seated feelings that always accompany the ego: the discontent, the unhappiness, the sense of insufficiency that is so familiar. For a little while, the illusion actually works. Then inevitably, at some point, the person you singled out, or made special in your eyes, fails to function as a cover up for your pain, hate, discontent or unhappiness which all have their origin in that sense of insufficiency and incompleteness. Then, out comes the feeling that was covered up, and it gets projected onto the person that had been singled out and made special - who you thought would ultimately “save you.” Suddenly love turns to hate. The ego doesn’t realize that the hatred is a projection of the universal pain that you feel inside. The ego believes that this person is causing the pain. It doesn’t realize that the pain is the universal feeling of not being connected with the deeper level of your being - not being at one with yourself.
The object of love is interchangeable, as interchangeable as the object of egoic wanting. Some people go through many relationships. They fall in love and out of love many times. They love a person for a while until it doesn’t work anymore, because no person can permanently cover up that pain.
Only surrender can give you what you were looking for in the object of your love. The ego says surrender is not necessary because I love this person. It’s an unconscious process of course. The moment you accept completely what is, something inside you emerges that had been covered up by egoic wanting. It is an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself. When that happens, a completely different kind of love is present which is not subject to love / hate. It doesn’t single out one thing or person as special. It’s absurd to even use the same word for it. Now it can happen that even in a normal love / hate relationship, occasionally, you enter the state of surrender. Temporarily, briefly, it happens: you experience a deeper universal love and a complete acceptance that can sometimes shine through, even in an otherwise egoic relationship. If surrender is not sustained, however, it gets covered up again with the old egoic patterns. So, I’m not saying that the deeper, true love cannot be present occasionally, even in a normal love / hate relationship. But it is rare and usually short-lived.
Whenever you accept what is, something deeper emerges than what is. So, you can be trapped in the most painful dilemma, external or internal, the most painful feelings or situation, and the moment you accept what is, you go beyond it, you transcend it. Even if you feel hatred, the moment you accept that this is what you feel, you transcend it. It may still be there, but suddenly you are at a deeper place where it doesn’t matter that much anymore.
The entire phenomenal universe exists because of the tension between the opposites. Hot and cold, growth and decay, gain and loss, success and failure, the polarities that are part of existence, and of course part of every relationship.
Kim Eng: Then it’s correct to say, we can never get rid of the polarities?
ET: We cannot get rid of polarities on the level of form. However, you can transcend the polarities through surrender. You are then in touch with a deeper place within yourself where, as it were, the polarities no longer exist. They continue to exist on the outer level. However, even there, something changes in the way in which the polarities manifest in your life when you are in a state of acceptance or surrender. The polarities manifest in a more benign and gentle way.
The more unconscious you are, the more you are identified with form. The essence of unconsciousness is this: identification with form, whether it is an external form (a situation, place, event or experience), a thought form or an emotion. The more attached to form, the more unsurrendered you are, and the more extreme, violent or harsh your experience of the polarities becomes. There are people on this planet who live virtually in hell and on the same planet there are others who live a relatively peaceful life. The ones who are at peace inside will still experience the polarities, but in a much more benign way, not the extreme way in which many humans still experience them. So, the way in which the polarities are experienced does change. The polarities themselves cannot be removed, but one could say, the whole universe becomes somewhat more benevolent. It’s no longer so threatening. The world is no longer perceived as hostile, which is how the ego perceives it.
KE: If awakening or living a life in an awakened state does not change the natural order of things, duality, the tension between the opposites, what does living a life in the awakened state do? Does it affect the world, or only one’s subjective experience of the world?
ET: When you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
KE: Does that actually change the outer world?
ET: Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world. Even if you find yourself in a conflict situation, there is an outflow of peace into the polarities. So then, something does change. There are some teachers or teachings that say, nothing changes. That is not the case. Something very important does change. That which is beyond form shines through the form, the eternal shines through the form into this world of form.
KE: Is it right to say that it is your lack of “reaction against,” your acceptance of the opposites of this world, that brings about changes in the way the opposites manifest?
ET: Yes. The opposites continue to happen, but they are not fueled by you anymore. What you said is a very important point: the “lack of reaction” means that the polarities are not fueled. This means, you often experience a collapse of the polarities, such as in conflict situations. No person, no situation is made into an “enemy.”
KE: So, the opposites, instead of becoming strengthened, become weakened. And perhaps this is how they begin to dissolve.
ET: That’s right. Living in that way is the beginning of the end of the world.

I find it weird that the past year or so I have a been grounded. Not in my room, mind you ;) but grounded to the earth and earthly life. I have taken great interest in love and sex, yes I'm saying it frankly - when I first started my fascination with romance novels I was wondering where the heck did this come from? But looking back a year and some I can see it very clearly, it's about Love, the earthly kind, the kind I near forgot about when I was at my peak of Spirituality.
It's no surprise to me that it's 12-12-12 when it hits me. I have the past week been having a sore throat which culminated yesterday, on 12-12-12, to a grade-A flu. My throat is so bad I should not be talking at all, and as I'm house bound I have plenty to think about.
I see my detour of romance as mandatory and my wake-up call of a flu as the catalyst to merge. Everything is connected, and I feel it's my expertise to join spirituality and romantic love, to see the connection of it the chances for evolution.
We believe in Soul Mates, do we not? We believe in grand love that will be momentous - we bit errantly believe this grand love will come out of nowhere and sweep us off our feet. Really? You believe in no control of your life? Let me give you something to think about if the case is so.
With the big changes we will be, and have been, experiencing this year does love not deserve it's share? Our spiritual love is growing in bounds and leaps, but what about our romantic love, our chance to create? We are beings of creation! We create the world around us, we influence the very existence of material things in our lives, we affect the cosmos by drawing to us what we desire.
When we work, we create, as a construction worker you create a building, a solid tangible thing, as a nurse you create health and heal the body, another solid tangible thing. Why not work for romantic love? With the bountiful benefits, how can you not give it ago?
2012 is changing us, it's changing who we meet and why we meet them, romantically as well. You are less and less likely to meet the wrong potential spouses, and more and more likely meeting your soul mates - the people with great potential to be your grand romance of this life time! Now like with everything if you don't work on it, it will simply simmer down.
Let's says you meet or have met a person of great potential - it's up to you to create. You can create a short fantastical, exciting, passionate love affair that lasts few amazing months, or you can create a fantastical, exciting, passionate love that lasts a life time! The only difference is to not stop working, to not stop creating. With the energies of 2012, or 12-12-12 and 12-21-12 it's easier and easier to create, it takes less and less effort because the people you are meeting are more and more compatible with you! Because creation is becoming easier and easier on you!

Food is for taste.
Happiness is taste of life.
True happiness is sharing of hearts.
Happiness simply is someone who truly remains beside you
whether you succeed or fail.
People eat, but few can taste.

Hey there dear Lighty friends,
I guess this part of my journey is finally winding down. For some reason I have used the date of 21st Dec 2012 as a benchmark regarding my spiritual awakening, as a definite means to an end. Not suggesting for a minute that my awakening will not continue to evolve once this date has passed.
Ggggaaawwwddd!!! All these bloody dates – I really don’t know if they have any divine significance or not - like 11:11:11, 12:12:12 and of course, the big enchilada, 12:21:12. Our antiquated method of measuring time has limited us as species for way too long, it’s confined us to a finite existence. Measuring time for what? Does the progression of time really matter anywhere else in the universe, other than with our species? The mere drudgery of time, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years – we have been literally micromanaged by this sinister manmade construct for way too long. I feel it’s time for time to go lol.
I feel ‘time’ as we know it, belongs to the outdated paradigm of duality – the fundamental, needless tallying of the days and nights we have spent on this earth. Don’t you think it’s ironic that we have sentenced ourselves to such a mundane and a mediocre existence, but when all is said and done - none of us don’t really want to leave this place – we innately fear it. Why????
It’s a strange little human idiosyncrasy that we have somehow developed. When you think about it, none of us know when we are going to be born and we don’t know when we are going to die. However, the measurement of what happens in between our birth and death - is somehow intrinsic to the quality of our experience here. I continually wonder - what if we didn’t have birthdays – how old would you really be? If you ask me this question right now – I would say I’d be ‘30 something’, yesterday I was a teenager and the day before that, I manifested as a petulant child lol. Imagine if our ‘time’ here was just measured by the present - because the future never comes and in reality the past has gone – vanished. Our past does not define the present – the past has no bearing on the present, the past doesn’t matter. So it just leaves the ‘now’. I doubt we would grow old.
Our spirits and souls never age, it’s just our bodies. When our spacesuits wear out, I guess we are just given new ones to wear, whether we come back here to earth or move on to another place or dimension. We will always be infinite and eternal.
Moving onto the Mayan Calendar – so what is all this commercial hype really about? Why have so many of us put so much faith in just another day? In a paradigm of ‘no time’- does the 21st December 2012 really have any bearing or significance? Does this date even exist at all? After all, the Mayan Calendar is just another human device for measuring an ‘age’ or ‘era’, especially in this instance. We all know how flawed our species can be, so how accurate is this calendar anyway? I recall all the brouhaha surrounding the 28th of October 2011, which some supposed experts believed to be the true end date of the Mayan Calendar. So if this date was correct, what’s happened? Bazinga!!! We’re all still here. Life goes on.
By all accounts, the Mayan elders have never mentioned once that the earth is going to be destroyed, or aliens are going to return, or we are all going to disappear into the ethers. It’s quite elementary my dear Watson. The Mayans disappeared due to X infections contracted through the intervention of foreigners from distant earthly shores – I very much doubt they were snapped up by spaceships and swished off to another planet, as some like to believe. Not that I think for one moment that aliens don’t exist here on earth – the proof is irrefutable. Our extraterrestrial family, are definitely not visitors to this planet – have any of you thought, that this could be their home too? They have been here on earth way before humanity was even conceived – I doubt they will be leaving us any time soon.
What if we had never heard about the Mayan Calendar? Like the estimated two thirds of the inhabitants on this planet. Will this date really have any impact on our day to day lives? Maybe some of us are setting ourselves up for a big disappointment. A bit like finding out that Santa Claus is not real.
I really don’t know what is going to occur on the 21st, and to be perfectly honest, I really don’t care. It’s in the near future and the future is not set in stone. Nothing is. I can’t even tell you what is going to happen to me tomorrow – but tomorrow never comes. There is only today and today is what you decide to make it. The 21st will merely mark a period, a nanno second, (zero point) where our manmade illusion of time resets itself to usher in a new era. Irrespective of all the expectations that surround this date – I will choose to be happy and live in the moment.
I’ve decided I don’t need dates to dictate how I use my so called ‘time ‘here on earth. I’m not expecting anything external to occur surrounding the 21st, like a rapturous moment, or fleets of UFO’s descending from the skies or any great revelations regarding the awareness of humanity for that matter. Who knows, I could be completely wrong. I guess I consider it’s best not to expect anything, that way you won’t become disappointed or disillusioned. Ultimately, this journey has been an internal one for me, personally the shift has already occurred and it has occurred within and I seek to reflect this change outwardly. If you can’t change the world – change yourself.
For me, this date is a bit like Xmas – I don’t believe in it but I like to celebrate it. IN-JOY the moment and just continue to shine on like the beautiful crazy diamonds you are.
Much love and happiness to you all

I have one of those opportunities that come around in a lifetime.
It's decision time.
For quite a while I have been getting a very strong urge to visit a pyramid.
Didn't now when or why or where.
It's one of those inner knowings,something I know I am supposed to do.
Lately this urge, it has been screaming at me.
Loudly.
In my ear.
And now I have a wonderful opportunity to go to Peru.
Be there on the 21st.
And many signs point to it in my life, synchronicities abound.
One would think the decision is easy.
But somewhere along the way, the machine that was creating this opportunity slowed down, and fear reared its ugly head.
Insidious booger.
Oh yeah,here came the what if thoughts again...
Every negative scenario came to mind.
My mind took over,and down the rabbit hole I went.
After all I am traveling to a third world country, at a time when who knows might happen, to be with people I never met...
and that was just the beginning of my questioning myself.
It all ended as I looked at it from a fearful 3d perspective...
Before I was done, my possible amazing experience had been turned into something negative.
Possibly dangerous...
For those fears were in there!
Still within me, those fears of being a female.
Alone.
And having bad things happen because I am.
This fear was putting on quite the show as it manifested itself early on in the evening.
As it got dark outside.
Knocks and bumps throughout the night,motion detectors going off, that kind of stuff.
I could feel my energy lowering, like a thermostat of sorts...
Yet I was aware of what was happening and was kinda watching it too.
Kept thinking, what is my lesson here,what do I need to understand to let go of this fear?
If there is fear on my outside, it is mirroring the fear within me.
So I somewhat tumbled into it, yet remained attached by a golden rope of sorts.
That rope was my connection to my heart.
As I felt fear I imagined myself surrounded by white Light.
Surrounding me and bathing me in Love.
Every time I started to spiral and felt the fear, I would tell myself that it was from the past and I needed to let it go.
And then I felt the fear and allowed it to flow through me.
I asked it to leave,no longer do I want a part of it.
In the world I envision, women are not harmed, nor are men.
There is no harming in Love.
Scenarios of fear played on my mind, memories perhaps of what was.
I kept letting them go.
Thanked them for the role played in my remembering.
Until I saw it.
I saw the fear.
Understood it.
I went beyond what it looked like into what it was.
I know I have experienced many dark times as a woman.
Many of those times my life ended in violent ways.
All those memories within me remained.
All of it tightly wrapped in a corner within me.
This trip has brought them to Light.
And so I faced those memories all night.
But here is the difference...I never felt alone.
I know I am loved beyond words by the Source of all that is.
And that truth which springs from deep within me, was what helped me see what I need to let go.
The truth that I have nothing to fear.
Not even fear itself.
Today I have decided I want to go to Peru.
Really,really,do.
No fear of what will or won't happen.
And so I believe that if it is meant to play out in the physical, I will have a blast!(Off lol)
If not, it helped me to let go of some nasty issues, but to understand them too.
To understand myself better.
And to love them for the experiences they were.
My endless quest to understand what Love is,by experiencing what it is not.
Last night I realized if I chose to go I wanted to make that decision from my heart, not because of fear.
Fear has no place in the world I envision either.
Traveling should be safe, everywhere on the world.
Maybe the decision itself does not count...as much as the fact I listened to my heart.
Maybe that was my lesson to learn.
Whatever happens, I am so grateful for this experience.
All of it.
It is so beautiful, all of it.
Thank you for being here with me my Light family, I am honored.
In Light and Love

One of the biggest changes that I see of those around me is that so many are going through such painful times in their lives, and they somehow connect with me and I guide them and support them through the phone and through texts and such.
And the stuff they are going through is not just drama, they are life changing ,drastic situations which turn their world upside down.
Huge amounts of pain and suffering.
This past week has been tremendous for so many.
I have a feeling that the intensity of these energies will continue to grow and more hidden issues will be brought to the Light.
I have been in that dark space and my heart feels for all those going through it, for it was indeed an incredibly painful space.
But I made it through it.
As will all who are here now.
In their own timeline.
And the rewards of leaving that which is no longer for our highest good are beyond words.
For when we leave that behind, we remember who we are.
Remember to stay in the present,remember who you are, that you are more than just this body.
Take care of your body, for such release must occur and if not released it can lead to disease.
Find out about shielding and healing of your energetic body.
There is tons of information out there, see what resonates with your heart.
Try to keep out of fear and ask for help from your Light family and guides, whatever you choose to believe.
fear keeps us in the dark, lost and in pain.
Remember you are an aspect of the divine.
You are beautiful beyond words.
Oh what joy you will feel in your heart when this is all behind you and you finally see the beauty that is you.
Many of us who are here have already gone through our dark night, and we know that ultimately it is a dark journey which one must go through alone, but we are here to help support and guide.
Ask for support and help from whatever/whoever resonates in your heart.
You are not alone.
You are not crazy.
You are not losing it.
Look up signs of spiritual awakening, you will be surprised at how many of the symptoms you have.
You are about to find yourself.
You are about to remember what love really is.
You will remember how to love yourself.
And you are about to finally see the beautiful being that you are, beyond words really.
Know that this will pass.
You will get past this.
You have all the information of how to do so within you.
You have forgotten, but are in the process of remembering.
Make decisions from your heart.
When facing a decision about your life, take time away from the chaos and find some quiet.
Take a walk.
Try to go outside and spend time out in Mother Nature.
Her healing properties are indeed miraculous.
Take baths or showers, water also has incredible healing qualities.
Drink a ton of water, think of it as liquid light and imagine it cleansing you and washing away all pain and suffering from your body.
Try to not eat very heavy foods.
Heavy food brings our life force down and keep us in turmoil,foggy and unable to see.
Try to eat life foods, fruits and vegetables, your body will guide you.
Listen to music that feels right in your heart and makes you feel peaceful, as music is a wonderful way to find our center and stay within it.
The more you step away from the chaos in your life, the more you will start to hear your inner voice which will help guide you to your heart.
And it is in the heart where the Source of All resides.
You are in the process of returning to you, to who you are, to yourself. to the Source of all that is.
Please remember you are not alone.
You never have been.
You never will be.
You are so dearly loved.
In fact, you are love.
This will pass.
Your new life will be amazing.
I wish all love,light and healing.
Please feel free to share your insights.
Sharing from my heart in Light and Love

ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Lyrics:
Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We're going downtown in the middle of the night
We was laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright.
Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Easin' down the highway in a new cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes,
They smokin' lucky strikes, wearing nylon too.
Welcome back, we're nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we're nationwide.
Well I was movin' down the road in my v-8 ford,
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered.
With my new york brim and my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made.
I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide

The greatest grief in life is to have no choice.
Only the misfortune understands what the fortune is,
and knows how to treasure it.
It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return,
but the most regret is to love someone and
never have the title to let the one to know how deep my love is to.......

Emotion: The Body's Reaction To Your Mind
http://www.healthy.net/Health/Article/Emotion_The_Bodys_Reaction_to_Your_Mind/2512
© Eckhart Tolle
(Excerpted from The Power of Now, New World Library, 2004)
What about emotions? I get caught up in my emotions more than I do in my mind.
Mind, in the way I use the word, is not just thought. It includes your emotions as well as all unconscious mental-emotional reactive patterns. Emotion arises at the place where mind and body meet. It is the body’s reaction to your mind — or you might say, a reflection of your mind in the body. For example, an attack thought or a hostile thought will create a buildup of energy in the body that we call anger. The body is getting ready to fight. The thought that you are being threatened, physically or psychologically, causes the body to contract, and this is the physical side of what we call fear. Research has shown that strong emotions even cause changes in the biochemistry of the body. These biochemical changes represent the physical or material aspect of the emotion. Of course, you are not usually conscious of all your thought patterns, and it is often only through watching your emotions that you can bring them into awareness.
The more you are identified with your thinking, your likes and dislikes, judgments and interpretations, which is to say the less present you are as the watching consciousness, the stronger the emotional energy charge will be, whether you are aware of it or not. If you cannot feel your emotions, if you are cut off from them, you will eventually experience them on a purely physical level, as a physical problem or symptom. A great deal has been written about this in recent years, so we don’t need to go into it here. A strong unconscious emotional pattern may even manifest as an external event that appears to just happen to you. For example, I have observed that people who carry a lot of anger inside without being aware of it and without expressing it are more likely to be attacked, verbally or even physically, by other angry people, and often for no apparent reason. They have a strong emanation of anger that certain people pick up subliminally and that triggers their own latent anger.
If you have difficulty feeling your emotions, start by focusing attention on the inner energy field of your body. Feel the body from within. This will also put you in touch with your emotions. We will explore this in more detail later.
You say that an emotion is the mind’s reflection in the body. But sometimes there is a conflict between the two: the mind says “no” while the emotion says “yes,” or the other way around.
If you really want to know your mind, the body will always give you a truthful reflection, so look at the emotion, or rather feel it in your body. If there is an apparent conflict between them, the thought will be the lie, the emotion will be the truth. Not the ultimate truth of who you are, but the relative truth of your state of mind at that time.
Conflict between surface thoughts and unconscious mental processes is certainly common. You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware. To watch an emotion in this way is basically the same as listening to or watching a thought, which I described earlier. The only difference is that, while a thought is in your head, an emotion has a strong physical component and so is primarily felt in the body. You can then allow the emotion to be there without being controlled by it. You no longer are the emotion; you are the watcher, the observing presence. If you practice this, all that is unconscious in you will be brought into the light of consciousness.
So observing our emotions is as important as observing our thoughts?
Yes. Make it a habit to ask yourself: What’s going on inside me at this moment? That question will point you in the right direction. But don’t analyze, just watch. Focus your attention within. Feel the energy of the emotion. If there is no emotion present, take your attention more deeply into the inner energy field of your body. It is the doorway into Being.
An emotion usually represents an amplified and energized thought pattern, and because of its often overpowering energetic charge, it is not easy initially to stay present enough to be able to watch it. It wants to take you over, and it usually succeeds — unless there is enough presence in you. If you are pulled into unconscious identification with the emotion through lack of presence, which is normal, the emotion temporarily becomes “you.” Often a vicious circle builds up between your thinking and the emotion: they feed each other. The thought pattern creates a magnified reflection of itself in the form of an emotion, and the vibrational frequency of the emotion keeps feeding the original thought pattern. By dwelling mentally on the situation, event, or person that is the perceived cause of the emotion, the thought feeds energy to the emotion, which in turn energizes the thought pattern, and so on.
Basically, all emotions are modifications of one primordial, undifferentiated emotion that has its origin in the loss of awareness of who you are beyond name and form. Because of its undifferentiated nature, it is hard to find a name that precisely describes this emotion. “Fear” comes close, but apart from a continuous sense of threat, it also includes a deep sense of abandonment and incompleteness. It may be best to use a term that is as undifferentiated as that basic emotion and simply call it “pain.” One of the main tasks of the mind is to fight or remove that emotional pain, which is one of the reasons for its incessant activity, but all it can ever achieve is to cover it up temporarily. In fact, the harder the mind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain. The mind can never find the solution, nor can it afford to allow you to find the solution, because it is itself an intrinsic part of the “problem.” Imagine a chief of police trying to find an arsonist when the arsonist is the chief of police. You will not be free of that pain until you cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind, which is to say from ego. The mind is then toppled from its place of power and Being reveals itself as your true nature.
Yes, I know what you are going to ask.
I was going to ask: What about positive emotions such as love and joy?
They are inseparable from your natural state of inner connectedness with Being. Glimpses of love and joy or brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought. For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accidentally, in moments when the mind is rendered “speechless,” sometimes triggered by great beauty, extreme physical exertion, or even great danger. Suddenly, there is inner stillness. And within that stillness there is a subtle but intense joy, there is love, there is peace.
Usually, such moments are short-lived, as the mind quickly resumes its noise-making activity that we call thinking. Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance. But they are not what I would call emotions. They lie beyond the emotions, on a much deeper level. So you need to become fully conscious of your emotions and be able to feel them before you can feel that which lies beyond them. Emotion literally means “disturbance.” The word comes from the Latin emovere, meaning, “to disturb.”
Love, joy, and peace are deep states of Being, or rather three aspects of the state of inner connectedness with Being. As such, they have no opposite. This is because they arise from beyond the mind. Emotions, on the other hand, being part of the dualistic mind, are subject to the law of opposites. This simply means that you cannot have good without bad. So in the unenlightened, mind-identified condition, what is sometimes wrongly called joy is the usually short-lived pleasure side of the continuously alternating pain/pleasure cycle. Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within. The very thing that gives you pleasure today will give you pain tomorrow, or it will leave you, so its absence will give you pain. And what is often referred to as love may be pleasurable and exciting for a while, but it is an addictive clinging, an extremely needy condition that can turn into its opposite at the flick of a switch. Many “love” relationships, after the initial euphoria has passed, actually oscillate between “love” and hate, attraction and attack.
Real love doesn’t make you suffer. How could it? It doesn’t suddenly turn into hate, nor does real joy turn into pain. As I said, even before you are enlightened — before you have freed yourself from your mind — you may get glimpses of true joy, true love, or of a deep inner peace, still but vibrantly alive. These are aspects of your true nature, which is usually obscured by the mind. Even within a “normal” addictive relationship, there can be moments when the presence of something more genuine, something incorruptible, can be felt. But they will only be glimpses, soon to be covered up again through mind interference. It may then seem that you had something very precious and lost it, or your mind may convince you that it was all an illusion anyway. The truth is that it wasn’t an illusion, and you cannot lose it. It is part of your natural state, which can be obscured but can never be destroyed by the mind. Even when the sky is heavily overcast, the sun hasn’t disappeared. It’s still there on the other side of the clouds.
The Buddha says that pain or suffering arises through desire or craving and that to be free of pain we need to cut the bonds of desire.
All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being. As long as I am my mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachments, and aversions, and apart from them there is no “I” except as a mere possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet sprouted. In that state, even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don’t seek to become free of desire or “achieve” enlightenment. Become present. Be there as the observer of the mind. Instead of quoting the Buddha, be the Buddha, be “the awakened one,” which is what the word buddha means.
Humans have been in the grip of pain for eons, ever since they fell from the state of grace, entered the realm of time and mind, and lost awareness of Being. At that point, they started to perceive themselves as meaningless fragments in an alien universe, unconnected to the Source and to each other.
Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind, which is to say as long as you are unconscious, spiritually speaking. I am talking here primarily of emotional pain, which is also the main cause of physical pain and physical disease. Resentment, hatred, self-pity, guilt, anger, depression, jealousy, and so on, even the slightest irritation, are all forms of pain. And every pleasure or emotional high contains within itself the seed of pain: its inseparable opposite, which will manifest in time.
Anybody who has ever taken drugs to get “high” will know that the high eventually turns into a low, that the pleasure turns into some form of pain. Many people also know from their own experience how easily and quickly an intimate relationship can turn from a source of pleasure to a source of pain. Seen from a higher perspective, both the negative and the positive polarities are faces of the same coin, are both part of the underlying pain that is inseparable from the mind-identified egoic state of consciousness.

Detachment and Being Detached
By Remez Sasson
http://www.successconsciousness.com/index_000066.htm
Detachment is an inner state of calmness and being uninvolved on the emotional and mental planes. It is definitely not indifference. People who are indifferent, do not care about anything, and are not active and initiative. On the other hand, people who possess emotional and mental detachment can be very active and caring, though they accept calmly whatever happens. Such people accept the good and the bad equally, because they enjoy inner balance and peace.
If they cannot do or change something, it does not disturb their peace of mind. If they are convinced of the importance of some action, they will pursue it whole-heartedly, and can ignore distractions easily. If they succeed with what they do, that is fine, and if they don't, they will either try again or forget the matter and move to something else.
Count the number of times you got emotionally involved in something against your will and better judgment. How many times have you got angry, frustrated or disappointed? How many times have your moods swung high and low? Each time you tell yourself that next time you will stay cool and calm, and yet each time you forget what you said.
When it comes to personal affairs, it is hard to stay emotionally uninvolved. You get involved, and this is quite natural, otherwise life would have been boring. Involvement makes life ticking and active. However, it is advisable to develop at least some detachment, as this will help you in many situations.
Detachment is important in daily life, in the pursuit of ambitions and on the spiritual path. It is important to everyone, whether pursuing spirituality or material success. Every spiritual tradition speaks about detachment, but detachment cannot be confined only to spirituality.
Let me give you some examples of detachment. Suppose you meditate, but thoughts keep coming into your mind. You get emotionally involved with your thoughts, follow them and forget about your meditation and concentration. If you could express detachment, it would have been easier to ignore the disturbing thoughts. Detachment would have helped you to stay collected and concentrated.
What happens when somebody says to you something that you do not like? You will probably become angry, unhappy or insulted. Why is this so? Because you value other's people words and opinions more than you value your own thoughts and opinions of yourself. You let other's people thoughts, words and actions influence your happiness, actions and reactions. Your happiness and actions depend on them.
On the other hand, if you are able to stay detached, you will not be disturbed. You will stay calm. You will even be able to benefit from what they say. You will not waste hours thinking about their words.
Have you ever thought, how much time and energy are wasted every day, brooding on useless thoughts and feelings, due to lack of detachment? Much of the anger, frustration, unhappiness and disappointments are due to lack of detachment.
One of the ways to develop detachment is through meditation. In meditation, one endeavors not to follow the thoughts and feelings that arise. Meditating day after day, develops the habit of staying calm and emotionally detached, not only during meditation, but also in everyday life.
If you practice any kind of meditation, sooner or later, you will start to experience detachment. You will find that you feel and behave in a different way under circumstances that previously raised anger or agitation. You will find that you can handle your daily affairs of life in a calm and relaxed way.
Real detachment means inner strength, and the ability to function calmly and with full inner control under all circumstances. A detached person is not harassed and hurried, and can do everything with concentration and attention, thus insuring a successful outcome of his actions.

I was standing in front of a painting I did of a beach just looking at it.
I was thinking I really liked it,made me happy looking at it.
And all of the sudden I felt weightless.
Not like floating,somehow different...
Like I didn't weigh not even an ounce!
Similar to the feeling I get when riding those roller coasters that drop you.
But not quite it...there was no wind, no noise at all.
Like the space between going up and going down.
The space in between I think.
I really am having trouble putting it into words.
This is one of my freak outs.
Big one.
I think I felt what it feels like to be a light body.
For an instant,...that within it lasted forever...I think it was no time...because time was stretched somehow,like being inside a long tube,where there is only air and you are the air.
And my feelings felt so good.
Happy and Love all squished together.
And I was conscious of it,even as I saw the painting...
Has anyone felt this?
If you haven't, I think its coming,if it is the chosen experience you wish.
I am so grateful I experienced that.
Beyond words.
In Light and Love

Tenderness
Be gentle and loving with yourself and as in the words of the song 'try a little tenderness'. You may be feeling vulnerable, frail and sensitive so treat yourself with tender regard as you would something precious and build up those warm, compassionate feelings for those you love and whose lives you touch.
The colour pink is comforting, caring and offers unconditional love. This colour is about caring for yourself with gentleness and tenderness. Give yourself a big hug! Pink is loving and forgiving and is the colour of constant affection.
Bring this colour into your life with roses, pinks, lilies, rose quartz crystals, scarves, lipstick or nail polish.
The Archangel associated with this word is Chamuel, who will help you to love yourself, in order for you to give love to others and to release negative emotions, mending that bruised and battered heart.
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her drop drop
Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You've got to rub her gentle man, don't bruise her, no no
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta drop nah nah nah drop
Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice
Good advice! When we are tender with ourselves we treat others the same way and they return that to us.....it is perpetual. Just as treating someone unkind is perpetual. What we put out there, is what comes back to us. What goes around comes around. I think, learning this wisdom, that we must also do unto ourselves as we would have others do unto us, is the toughest for us to learn. We all learn the golden rule, but we must learn to apply it to ourselves as much as to the rest of the world. At least this is what I see.
My favorite line in this song...
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
Damn I dig Otis....some of his songs have the power to jerk a tear from these green eyes....Like these two....sigh...;)
I don't know what woman broke this man's heart, but when she did, it stirred the very bottom of his soul....lol....and he sure laid it down for the world to feel.....
And btw....I don't think the lyric in that last one is
There were time....
I think it goes more like
"You are tired......"

All my life I have searched for Love.
Outside of myself.
I was a baby left at a hospital.
In an instant, so began my life experience of looking for Love.
When I opened my soul's eyes and looked for my physical connection to Love, my mother,she was gone.
Love was gone.
Or so I thought.
And I began my life long search to find it.
As a child I looked to find Love from my parents ,at first.
I did not have that extra physical connection to them...and somehow I felt it.
However,I received it beautifully from my adoptive mom and dad.
It grew within me and I love them so much.
But with it came all their ideas of what love was...ideas formed from their life experiences,and thus expectations were born.
I grew up believing that if I met everyone's expectations, that was a way to show Love.
I started to attach conditions and expectations to Love.
As an adult I continued.
I looked to find Love in frienships.
Had a very good idea of what a friend should be.
Once again, I added conditions to Love.
Many times I hurt my friends in the name of Love.
I looked to find Love in a husband.
I received it beautifully...at first.
And then came more expectations and conditions...
And somehow that eternal Love I thought I had found, became no longer eternal.
Once again,Love hurt.
I also looked to find Love in my children.
But of course I added conditions and expectations to them as well...
I thought that by trying to control them, somehow it was the right thing to do...
I added control to Love when dealing with them.
More conditions added.
Now I see how all my life I have been looking to experience Love outside of myself.
To find it in the world.
But I clouded that Love with things that were not Love.
Because that was what I wanted to learn.
I wanted to experience Love and what Love is not.
And now I am in the process of letting go of all the conditions and expectations of what I thought Love was.
All my ideas of what Love should be.
Romantic or otherwise.
There are no conditions in Love.
Nothing attached.
Love just is.
And that Love is in me.
It is me.
And when I allow it to radiate out from myself, it surrounds me.
It changes the world around me.
My world becomes Love based, not fear based, like it was before.
My relationships become Love based, instead of expectations and conditions and emotions and fear based.
My world improves, and grows in abundance.
And so it seems to me that people around me would expand as well.
For how could they not?
Love makes all things grow.
And if I share my Love with those around me...their Love grows too.
Because Love is indeed contagious.
Easily spread.
The Love that resides in us, an aspect of Source, is as pure as the white Light, full of warmth and acceptance.
It is the breath of life and creation.
It shines nonstop like the sun.
It cannot be stopped.
And it is within us that we find it.
It is us.
In our heart.
Where the Source of Love resides.
Where we are remembering, once again, to find it.
Once all things not Love are removed from the entrance to our heart, the door is very easy to open...just turn the handle...step in.
I found Love and it wasn't even hiding from me.
It has been within me all this time.
But what an amazing discovery it has been.
And what an amazing playground to discover it in.
I am in deepest gratitude to be here,at this time, with ALL of you.
I wish for all my Light family to reconnect to their Love within.
In Light and Love

Welcome to Brenda's Blog
Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for www.LifeTapestryCreations.com
Summary of Brenda’s 11/25/12 free, 15-minute, channeled “Creation Energies” show at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: The pain and fear many of you are now experiencing was not something you expected after you cleared your personal and global fears. But the higher the dimension you select as your comfort/home zone, the more cellular fear you will wish to clear.
The title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her free, weekly, channeled blog for www.LifeTapestryCreations.com: ”Skipping Through the Dimensions”
Brenda’s “Creation Energies” BlogTalkRadio.com show presents different channeled material than “Brenda’s Blog” even though both might be about a similar topic.
Dear Ones,
Last week was difficult for many. You were clearing your cellular fears as you tried to continue your 3rd dimensional life. Something you did not expect, nor wish for. Similar to a forest fire regenerating the forest even though the initial results are painful to view.
This transition to joy is not easy for most. Not because you do not wish to experience joy, but that you have to let go of so much of your 3rd dimensional life – whether you believe those parts are positive or negative.
As you move beyond the 3rd dimension, your understanding will increase as will your ability to connect with 3rd dimensional loved ones in other planes. Such promises are of little value to those of you in the fog of loss.
Do you remember your thoughts of the fun you would have once you left your home of origin? Do you also remember your fear the first day after doing so? So it is for you now. Even though you are moving to higher dimensions, you are finding it difficult to let go of your 3rd dimension security blankets.
You wish to be in higher dimensions at all times – except for this activity or that person. It cannot be. You are either pregnant or you are not. You either are of a dimension beyond the 3rd or you are not.
We stated last week that you could skip through dimensions – and so you can. But only those dimensions beyond the 3rd. You no longer are of the 3rd dimension.
In a sense, you are a 3rd dimensional ghost. Even though you wish to emotionally touch someone remaining in the 3rd dimensional earth plane, they cannot see or feel your pain. You are attempting to remain connected to something or someone you no longer are able to – you are of different dimensions.
You will find resonating with those of a different dimension – particularly the 3rd dimension – difficult, if not impossible. For instance, you might attend a family reunion with people with whom you have shared much joy only to feel the event is flat, boring or not at all as you remember.
You may find this thought frightening or extremely sad. Neither of which needs to enter your feeling field. For indeed, there is much to explore in your home dimension – including connecting with those you no longer connect with in the 3rd dimension earth plane.
You have worked diligently in the past few months to recruit/draw to your human form as many splinters as you feel comfortable accepting. Those friends and family of the 3rd dimension are not gathering their splinters to themselves. Their unused splinters are available for you to connect with when you wish.
Some of you have learned how to communicate with those who transition from earth. You are not connecting with the full entity that was on earth prior to their transition, but with splinters that are interested in connecting with you.
It is much like multi-tasking in your 3rd dimensional life – you prepare a meal as you decide what you are wearing to work tomorrow while you chat with your mother on your cell phone. Even though your voice is talking with your mother, your mind is thinking about the checklist you need to complete before your next workday. So it is for those in the 3rd dimension who have transitioned beyond the earth plane.
They connect with you while observing their physical entity on earth or on whatever plane they are most whole and yet support you in so many ways. But then, you are capable of the same.
Once you move beyond the 3rd dimension, connections with those not of earth and beyond are stronger because of less “static”.
Your current transition phase may feel like a forest fire – as if all is lost. Know that the green shoots of your new forest are already pushing through the dirt. But then, you do not yet have enough evidence to fully believe that you will lose all you hold dear in the 3rd dimension – only to find more joy in the dimensions beyond.
Your 3rd dimension life was based in fear – with a few interactions of love. Your love will be enhanced once you fully move into your dimensional home. And you will interact with more splinters of those you hold dear – just not their 3rd dimension splinters.
Why do you need to release any love, only to replace it with a different love?
As you move into your home dimension, your enhanced interaction skills will be with the essence of other beings.
Those loved ones you are now mourning will be more accessible than they were in the 3rd dimension – for more of their splinters will wish to play with you.
You are not negating love in the New Age. Instead, you are enhancing and expanding love. You are to live in joy. Such is not possible without love.
Your new forest is growing rapidly – not fast enough for many – but much more rapidly than you can imagine. Perhaps your feelings are similar to those of starting a new job – frightened and alone. In truth, you have so many guides, angels, entities or whatever term feels most right for you ready to welcome you – and lovingly invite you to your first of thousands of joyful coffee breaks in your new dimension. So be it. Amen.

My rather cheeky little 12 year old niece Lucy,
I'm so proud, she's walking in her aunties footsteps, by taking the first steps to be a Surf Life Saver.
She's joined the Manly Surf Life Saving Club. Surf Life Saving is an institution here in Oz. We start the kids off young (Nippers). They learn all sorts of vital skills, from surf safety to surf rescue and first aid. Often they go on to compete in Iron Man and Iron Woman competitions. Surf Life Saving is a voluntary organisation. Life Savers volunteer their time during the summer season, to guard our beaches and ensure that bathers, swimmers and surfers are kept safe from harm. Without them our beaches would be deadly.
Nippers encourages non competitive participation - it's all about the kids being included and interacting. I was a Nipper, so was my sister and my daughter, we just loved it no end. Now it's nice to know that this family tradition is ongoing. She's not just a human being - she's a human doing lol. Great stuff - Go Lucy. We love you.
Much love and happiness to you all
Ish )O(

This story was posted a while back and I reread it today and found it just as enjoyable the secong time around.
Makes sense to me.
Enjoy!
The Little Soul and The Sun
A Children's Parable
Once upon no time, there was a little Soul who said to God, "I know who I am."
And God said, "That's wonderful! Who are you?"
And the Little Soul shouted, "I'm the Light!"
God smiled a big smile. "That's right!" God exclaimed. "You are the Light."
The Little Soul was so happy, for it had figured out what all the souls in the Kingdom were there to figure out.
"Wow," said the Little Soul, "this is really cool!"
But soon, knowing who it was was not enough. The Little Soul felt stirrings inside, and now wanted to be who it was. And so the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea for all souls who want to be Who They Really Are) and said,
"Hi, God! Now that I know Who I am, is it okay for me to be it?"
And God said, "You mean you want to be Who You Already Are?"
"Well," replied the Little Soul," it's one thing to know Who I Am, and another thing altogether to actually be it. I want to feel what it's like to be the Light!"
"But you already are the Light," God repeated, smiling again.
"Yes, but I want to see what that feels like!" cried the Little Soul.
"Well," said God with a chuckle, "I suppose I should have known. You always were the adventuresome one."
Then God's expression changed. "There's only one thing..."
"What?" asked the Little Soul.
"Well, there is nothing else but the Light. You see, I created nothing but what you are; and so, there is no easy way for you to experience yourself as Who You Are, since there is nothing that you are not."
"Huh?" said the Little Soul, who was now a little confused.
"Think of it this way," said God. "You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you're there all right. Along with a million, gazillion other candles who make up the Sun. And the sun would not be the Sun without you. Nay, it would be a sun without one of its candles...and that would not be the Sun at all; for it would not shine as brightly. Yet, how to know yourself as the Light when you are amidst the Light -that is the question."
"Well," the Little Soul perked up, "you're God. Think of something!"
Once more God smiled. "I already have," God said. "Since you cannot see yourself as the Light when you are in the Light, we'll surround you with darkness."
"What's darkness?" the Little Soul asked.
God replied, "It is that which you are not."
"Will I be afraid of the dark?" cried the Little Soul.
"Only if you choose to be," God answered. "There is nothing, really, to be afraid of, unless you decide that there is. You see, we are making it all up. We are pretending."
"Oh," said the Little Soul, and felt better already.
Then God explained that, in order to experience anything at all, the exact opposite of it will appear. "It is a great gift," God said, "because without it, you could not know what anything is like. You could not know Warm without Cold, Up without Down, Fast without Slow. You could not know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then."
"And so," God concluded, "when you are surrounded with darkness, do not shake your fist and raise your voice and curse the darkness. Rather be a Light unto the darkness, and don't be mad about it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and all others will know, too. Let your Light shine so that everyone will know how special you are!"
"You mean it's okay to let others see how special I am?" asked the Little Soul.
"Of course!" God chuckled. "It's very okay! But remember,'special' does not mean 'better.' Everybody is special, each in their own way! Yet many others have forgotten that. They will see that it is okay for them to be special only when you see that it is okay for you to be special."
"Wow," said the Little Soul, dancing and skipping and laughing and jumping with joy. "I can be as special as I want to be!"
"Yes, and you can start right now," said God, who was dancing and skipping and laughing right along with the Little Soul.
"What part of special do you want to be?"
"What part of special?" the Little Soul repeated. "I don't understand."
"Well," God explained, "being the Light is being special, and being special has a lot of parts to it. It is special to be kind. It is special to be gentle. It is special to be creative. It is special to be patient. Can you think of any other ways it is special to be?"
The Little Soul sat quietly for a moment. "I can think of lots of ways to be special!" the Little Soul then exclaimed. "It is special to be helpful. It is special to be sharing. It is special to be friendly. It is special to be considerate of others!"
"Yes!" God agreed, "and you can be all of those things, or any part of special you wish to be, at any moment. That's what it means to be the Light."
"I know what I want to be, I know what I want to be!" the Little Soul announced with great excitement. "I want to be the part of special called 'forgiving'. Isn't it special to be forgiving?"
"Oh, yes," God assured the Little Soul. "That is very special."
"Okay," said the Little Soul. "That's what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as that."
"Good," said God, "but there's one thing you should know."
The Little Soul was becoming a bit impatient now. It always seemed as though there were some complication.
"What is it?" the Little Soul sighed.
"There is no one to forgive."
"No one?" The Little Soul could hardly believe what had been said.
"No one!" God repeated. "Everything I have made is perfect. There is not a single soul in all creation less perfect than you. Look around you."
It was then that the Little Soul realized a large crowd had gathered. Souls had come from far and wide ~ from all over the Kingdom ~ for the word had gone forth that the Little Soul was having this extraordinary conversation with God, and everyone wanted to hear what they were saying. Looking at the countless other souls gathered there, the Little Soul had to agree. None appeared less wonderful, less magnificent, or less perfect than the Little Soul itself. Such was the wonder of the souls gathered around, and so bright was their Light, that the Little Soul could scarcely gaze upon them.
"Who, then, to forgive?" asked God.
"Boy, this is going to be no fun at all!" grumbled the Little Soul. "I wanted to experience myself as One Who Forgives. I wanted to know what that part of special felt like."
And the Little Soul learned what it must feel like to be sad. But just then a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
"Not to worry, Little Soul," the Friendly Soul said, "I will help you."
"You will?" the Little Soul brightened. "But what can you do?"
"Why, I can give you someone to forgive!"
"You can?"
"Certainly!" chirped the Friendly Soul. "I can come into your next lifetime and do something for you to forgive."
"But why? Why would you do that?" the Little Soul asked. "You, who are a Being of such utter perfection! You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to want to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your bright Light would become dark and dense? What could cause you ~ who are so light that you dance upon the stars and move through the Kingdom with the speed of your thought--to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do this bad thing?"
"Simple," the Friendly Soul said. "I would do it because I love you."
The Little Soul seemed surprised at the answer.
"Don't be so amazed," said the Friendly Soul, "you have done the same thing for me. Don't you remember? Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. Across all time and in many places have we played together. You just don't remember."
"We have both been All Of It. We have been the Up and the Down of it, the Left and the Right of it. We have been the Here and the There of it, the Now and the Then of it. We have been the male and the female, the good and the bad; we have both been the victim and the villain of it."
"Thus have we come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are. And so," the Friendly Soul explained further, "I will come into your next lifetime and be the 'bad one' this time. I will do something really terrible, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.
"But what will you do?" the Little Soul asked, just a little nervously, "that will be so terrible?"
"Oh," replied the Friendly Soul with a twinkle, "we'll think of something."
Then the Friendly Soul seemed to turn serious, and said in a quiet voice, "You are right about one thing, you know."
"What is that?" the Little Soul wanted to know.
"I will have to slow down my vibration and become very heavy to do this not-so-nice thing. I will have to pretend to be something very unlike myself. And so, I have but one favour to ask of you in return."
"Oh, anything, anything!" cried the Little Soul, and began to dance and sing, "I get to be forgiving, I get to be forgiving!"
Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul was remaining very quiet.
"What is it?" the Little Soul asked. "What can I do for you? You are such an angel to be willing to do this for me!"
"Of course this Friendly Soul is an angel!" God interrupted. "Everyone is! Always remember: I have sent you nothing but angels."
And so the Little Soul wanted more than ever to grant the Friendly Soul's request. "What can I do for you?" the Little Soul asked again.
"In the moment that I strike you and smite you," the Friendly Soul replied, "in the moment that I do the worst to you that you could possible imagine ~ in that very moment..."
"Yes?" the Little Soul interrupted, "yes...?""Remember Who I Really Am."
"Oh, I will!" cried the Little Soul, "I promise! I will always remember you as I see you right here, right now!"
"Good," said the Friendly Soul, "because, you see, I will have been pretending so hard, I will have forgotten myself. And if you do not remember me as I really am, I may not be able to remember for a very long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you may even forget Who You Are, and we will both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come along and remind us both of Who We Are."
"No, we won't!" the Little Soul promised again. "I will remember you! And I will thank you for bringing me this gift ~ the chance to experience myself as Who I Am.
" And so, the agreement was made. And the Little Soul went forth into a new lifetime, excited to be the Light, which was very special, and excited to be that part of special called Forgiveness.
And the Little Soul waited anxiously to be able to experience itself as Forgiveness, and to thank whatever other soul made it possible. And at all the moments in that new lifetime, whenever a new soul appeared on the scene, whether that new soul brought joy or sadness--and especially if it brought sadness--the Little Soul thought of what God had said.
"Always remember," God had smiled, "I have sent you nothing but angels."

Something very interesting happened to me.
I went to the doctor for a physical.
This latest burst of energy has got me crossing my T's and dotting my I's.
Have this urge to get things done NOW.
I call this "get it done" energy and this is a strong one.
So everything I have put off seems to be coming to the forefront to be handled.
This includes my health it seems.
Last time I went to my doctor was a year and a half ago.
This was before my spontaneous awakening in August of 2011.
I was completely unaware of any of the symptoms of spiritual awakening.
I had been deep in the 3d world before then.
With a lot of heart palpitations.
So I went to the doctor and he did an EKG to see what was happening to my heart.
The results showed an irregular beat and somewhat of a murmur.
Nothing serious.
But something not quite normal.
I realize now that my heart chakra was opening and clearing and I was expanding and connecting.
Back then it was one more sign that stress was slowly killing me.
So I went to my doctor last week, interested to find out if my awakening has changed my body internally as well.
I told my doctor my awakening story.
I asked him to listen to my story not with science, but with his heart.
He was very accepting and believed my experience.
Which is amazing in itself...
But then he did and EKG as part of my physical.
Afterwards,he walked into the room and looked at me.
He said my heart printout showed the textbook example of a healthy heart of someone twice as young as me.
A twenty year old.
Oh and the murmur was gone...
My heart has healed.
All this time as I have released and cleared and expanded my Light quotient, I kept thinking that eventually my physical body would start to manifest the Light.
And I guess this is the beginning of it.
The physical healing of me.
All this time I wondered if my body would start to physically change.
I guess it is.
My heart has.
And it feels like it is physically expanding as well...my heart is growing,that is what it feels like.
I sure feel a ton of love within me.
Makes sense my heart would grow to store it all...
So he asked me to come back and he wants to run extensive blood work on me.
I went this morning and gave them some blood.
Results will be wednesday.
It will be interesting to compare the blood work from before to the one today.
I have a feeling my cholesterol is no longer 210...lol.
So I am sharing this today not to tell anyone about their bodies or what they should or shouldn't do.
(Everyone is different and any physical issues should definetely be addressed.)
But to share this interesting experience because I know it is human to look for affirmation that something is indeed happening.
And this has been great affirmation for me, releasing all that no longer serves my highest good has indeed been excellent for my health.
Of course the Light going through me has been the catalyst.
My reconnection to my heart and to my Source has been the reason for it all.
I am so grateful that I am healing my body.
My wish for this great shift is that there is abundance for all at every level.
Being healthy is one of the ways in which I wish abundance to overflow in my life.
Now I just gotta get my eyes to get with the program...I would not mind having the eyes of a twenty year old!
Well heck, the body of a twenty year old would not be bad either LOL!
Thank you my Light family for sharing these amazing times with me.
I am so grateful for you.
We are shining so bright,by just being our beautiful selves.
Our hearts are indeed healing.
Love heals all things.
The answer is love.
In Light and Love

Hey there dear Lighty friends,
First day of summer in the southern hemi and WOW!!! Have we felt it.
Temps are reaching into well over the 40deg Celcius mark in most of south eastern Australian states. We are sweltering and melting.
I've run out of ice and the aircon is getting a mighty work out, it's beginning to rattle lol. There's condensation on the outside of the windows.
Forecasts predict that the weather is only going to get hotter.
Any tips on how to stay cool???
I've heard if you put socks on in hot weather your body temp is redirected from the rest of your body to your feet.
HOT FEET - how unpleasant lol.
My kingdom for a cold room.
Much love and happiness to you all

We are Born Singing
by Mark Nepo ~
*~* Song is not a luxury, but a necessary way of Being in the world. *~*
Somehow we have been fooled into thinking that song is entertainment, something we can do without,
like dessert. But to give voice to what lives inside is what keeps all things possible. In truth, the minute we
arrive we are born singing, though this is often mistaken for crying. Yet without this deep reflex, the lungs
won't work and the lifelong exchange between inner and outer can't begin.
I (author) remember my first day alone at home after my rib surgery. For the first time in months, everything
was still, the morning light now filling the space where my rib used to be. Suddenly, finally, I began to weep,
loudly, as pockets of fear and pain and exhaustion escaped. This release was a song, and what I hadn't
realized was that, once released, once the buildup of my journey was given a way out, life with its thousand
energies and softness could come in.
Such a simple secret: by letting things out, we also let things in. So if you're cut off, in pain, estranged,
numb - sing, give voice to anything. It needn't sound pretty. Simply, bravely, open despite the difficulty, and let
what is in out, and what is out in. Sing, and your life will continue !

OMG....I am eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (my favorite mmmmmmm..mmmmmmmmm)for dinner and watching the #1 show for making me giggle (Duck Dynasty) when I just saw the absolute WORST promotion for a TV show ever. The show is called
Panic 9-1-1
and the promo says "Real People....Real 911 calls....Real Panic". REALLY? Who in the hell wants to watch a show where you sit and listen to other people panic as the worst moments of their life unfold? WHO would authorize such a program? And WHO can I kick in the junk for BEing these people?
Sigh....The sad thing is there are like 9 or 10 people worldwide who are going to watch this fantastic programming. I just don't see how a channel that shows such a wonderfully entertaining show like Duck Dynasty also airs such a terrible program call "Panic 9-1-1-"
I am just saying....if you can, you should check out Duck Dynasty........gigglzzzzzzz
This is their title sequence song
LOVE some ZZ Top.....a how how how

Okay Lighty's,
So whose the Grinch???
It was the night before ascension
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
For a while now I've been pondering on what exactly is missing with this ascension process. Lately the entire prospect of ascension seems be so hollow and superficial - lacking substance and purpose, particularly from my personal perspective anyway.
I can't recall it being like this way before. Beforehand, I was so excited and was eagerly anticipating the pending ascension of this planet and it's people - now it kind of feels like a task and an effort. Like having to do the washing up after a magnificent Xmas dinner.
It's become all so mundane and tedious in a way. It used to be a fun and a happy experience to participate in this next phase of human evolution, particuliary when we all were encouraging each other to lift our vibrations to a higher frequency and we were very successful in holding the pitch. Now the tone seems to have plunged dramatically and is merely emitting an extremely dull and throbbing pulse.
So what's changed? How have I ended up feeling this way?
Funny thing, I accidentally stumbled across the answer whilst perusing the channellings. Usually I deliberately avoid the channelled section, unless I hear or read something that strikes my attention or has some resonance within me.
Is it just me, or have any of you noticed, that all these ascended masters, angels, Gods and Goddesses blah blah, completely lack a sense of humour???? I don't think any channelled messenger has ever cracked a really good joke. To be completely honest, I'd really quite dread the thought of getting an invite to one of these supposed higher beings parties. I believe it would be more like a sombre wake for humanity - they all appear to be so droll and the epitomy of dull boring drones. 'O yay - the human's are here. Let's open a tin of mung beans'.
Don't tell me Buddha and JC didn't crack a good joke or revelled in a belly laugh once in a while. Even the Dalai Llama loves a hearty chuckle. I kind of believe that to be a complete human, all the ascended masters would've been wired with a humour chip and possess at least one funny bone. Why do they have to be so serious?
Why do we have to be so serious about this ascension stuff? They say laughter is the best medicine (a scientifically proven fact). If we want to live longer we have to learn to laugh more. Besides love - laughter, joy and happiness is the highest vibrational state you can exist in on earth. To BE happy is an individual choice.
Yeah, I know, we all have our 'down times', all of us have been through relationship breakups and breakdowns, all of us have endured physical and emotional pain, all of us have financial woes, many of us suffer from 'ascension symptoms' and worry endlessly about the future. It doesn't have to be this way, we all have a choice, either to buckle under the daily pressures of this 3D existence, or rally ourselves and push onwards and upwards (as those dear old Grannies would say) and choose to exist in the higher vibrational realms.
I read Lightlovers (Marie's) blog the other day when she was relaying her experience of losing her wallet. Poor Marie was panicking and feeling anxious about the whole episode, when she consciously decided to turn the situation around and relaxed and chilled out and went to the movies and had a great time instead. Then she remembered where her wallet was. She created a silk purse out of a sows ear. A pretty good example at how easy it can be.
So let's all 'LIGHTEN' up shall we? Let's make this ascension process the best and happiest experience for all and everything involved. Let's IN-JOY it and let's not take ourselves to seriously. Don't worry just BE HAPPY!!!
Much love and happiness to you all

Hello everyone, I ask for a prayer for my son, my son's father, his fathers mother, his fathers girlfriend and I. I have seperated from my sons father, Paul three years ago. He was abusing the drug cocaine for several years. I left Paul for the fourth and last time due to this issue, especially because our son had been born. Paul promised to stop doing cocaine and I always had faith and hope that he really would stop. Right before the fourth and last time that I left, together with our son, was because Pauls habit got worst. One day I snapped and lashed out on his mother for always enabling Paul. That was the last time we were togther and toghter with my son I moved back home with my parents. I was in a depression I never pursued a divorce because I still loved Paul and still had faith in him. All I wanted was for Paul to exchange that bad habit for a healthier one and to love and engage and endulge in family activites. But, he didnt want any of it. Today, Paul wants the divorce and has moved into his girlfriends house. It hurt me so much to learn that he is now a "changed man" as he put it, and is doing all the things that I hoped he would of done with us (Kalel and I). Instead, he is doing it with his new girlfriend and her children. I asked him if he was going to fight me for custody and he said no, but he also said that he was not in a serious realtionship and that he was just with this girl for now. I just dont trust him or his new girlfriends or their intentions. Although, I wont be mad or angry at him because I still believe that he is a decent person. My family is telling me to go and get a lawyer just in case Paul and girlfreind decide to fight for custody. I am so confused and nervouse I can only pray. Please keep all of us in your prayers. All I want is peace and harmony between all of us.

Today I lost my wallet.
My passport was inside it.
(For some reason I feel like I should carry it with me, and so I do.)
It is amazing how quickly my mind started to run away with me.
It went into the what if? programming of fear.
What if the person who found it decided to go on a Christmas shopping spree?
What if my passport made it into the wrong hands?
What if they stole my money?
What if I didn't get it back?
What if they stole my identity?
Fear very quickly reared its ugly head from deep within me.
I felt it building , like a coiled snake about to strike.
I started to plan my day tomorrow, full of hassle.
Go to the bank.
Call passport office...etc,etc...
My mind was racing!
It amazes me now looking back upon it, how quickly I became a victim in my mind.
And then I stopped myself.
All of the sudden I became aware of what was happening and I stopped my descent.
The clarity of the awareness is really surprising.
Like I took control of myself.
It isn't like my higher self stepped in, it is like it blossomed within me.
Like it is now within me, hanging around in there waiting to remind me of "things".
This is something new.
Immediately I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and imagined my heart.
Centered.
I told myself I would find my wallet.
But if I didn't then it was for a reason.
Either way, the experience was set up by me to test myself somehow...
For a reason.
I accepted the situation and stayed in my heart, out of fear.
And just because I didn't understand it, didn't mean I wouldn't.
I just needed to not get caught up in worry.
So I kept doing what I was doing.
I went to the movies with my daughter.
She payed since I had no money...
Had a great time.
Driving home I relaxed.
And all of a sudden in my mind I saw it in the drawer back home.
And I remembered how it got there.
I called home and sure enough there it was.
In a place where I rarely would put my wallet.
But yesterday while rushing I did.
And then forgot.
Completely.
Being in fear today made me forget.
Until this new me from within reminded me how to remember.
After all I lived it, I should remember right?
It is my life.
It is like my brain forgot what I did yesterday,(must mean I am doing a good job of staying in the now...), but the clarity within
me helped me to access a memory backup system of sorts.
Or my own akashic record...
This is a new skill I think.
Anyways, this "voice of reason" that took control today was very secure and peaceful and centered.
A new more centered me.
Maybe this experience happened so that I could experience this new me...
Either way if this is the results of my last download, that blahness and fog I was in was worth every penny.
Because it did not feel like my HS "stepped in", like other times before.
Maybe the vibration of my body is getting closer to the vibration of my HS and therefore the jump between myselves is not as much.
Not as drastic, therefore it doesn't feel like I am standing beside myself.
It is within me, more anchored somehow.
Meeting more in the middle.
It feels like it was within me and just blossomed.
Like the light dimmer was calibrated up or something.
Much smoother transition.
Very peaceful.
It did surprise me how quickly I became a victim in my mind though.
Thank goodness that it happened.
That fear was in there lurking, glad I could experience it so I could release it.
I feel I am getting a better understanding of my world now and how to go about in it.
Does that make sense?
Like I might be able to function better in this world that I thought I would.
Afterall these last three years have made me into quite the hermit...the last year especially.
Yesterday a solution to a problem came to me without me knowing how.
Like an encyclopedia inside my head opened to the right page and I just knew what to do.
I know others have experienced the same in the last couple of days.
We must have also had an encyclopedia downloaded...lol!
So next time I find myself in fear I will take a deep breath.
Close my eyes and connect to my heart.
There is no fear in there at all.
Just love.
And it feels so good to love and be loved, does it not?
And I much rather feel love than fear anyday.
So I am hanging out in my heart.
Best place to be.
Thank you my Light family.
You are all so beautiful to me.
My love to all.
In Light and Love

Marie
