										&lt;div&gt;Hello friends out there round the world...&#xD;
&#xD;
I need help with information about drug awareness for a proposal for a conference we want to create here in Hong Kong.&#xD;
&#xD;
I remember years ago, during the raver days, there were some groups who shared free information about what drugs do to our systems etc...&#xD;
&#xD;
there is an opportunity here in HK where the govt. is looking for proposals and me and hoi chiu want to apply...&#xD;
&#xD;
any help, websites, free info would be much appreciated!&#xD;
&#xD;
for the highest good of all, blessed be.&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;We have come to be danced &#xD;
Not the pretty dance &#xD;
Not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance &#xD;
But the claw our way back into the belly &#xD;
Of the sacred, sensual animal dance &#xD;
The unhinged, unplugged, cat out of its box dance &#xD;
The holding the precious moment in the palms &#xD;
Of our hands and feet dance. &#xD;
&#xD;
We have come to be danced &#xD;
Not the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance &#xD;
But the wring the sadness from our skin dance &#xD;
The blow the chip off our shoulder dance. &#xD;
The slap the apology from our posture dance. &#xD;
&#xD;
We have come to be danced &#xD;
Not the monkey see, monkey do dance &#xD;
One two dance like you &#xD;
One two three, dance like me dance &#xD;
But the grave robber, tomb stalker &#xD;
Tearing scabs and scars open dance &#xD;
The rub the rhythm raw against our soul dance. &#xD;
&#xD;
We have come to be danced &#xD;
Not the nice, invisible, self-conscious shuffle &#xD;
But the matted hair flying, voodoo mama &#xD;
Shaman shaking ancient bones dance &#xD;
The strip us from our casings, return our wings &#xD;
Sharpen our claws and tongues dance &#xD;
The shed dead cells and slip into &#xD;
The luminous skin of love dance. &#xD;
&#xD;
We have come to be danced &#xD;
Not the hold our breath and wallow in the shallow end of the floor dance &#xD;
But the meeting of the trinity: the body, breath and beat dance &#xD;
The shout hallelujah from the top of our thighs dance &#xD;
The mother may I? &#xD;
Yes you may take ten giant leaps dance &#xD;
The olly olly oxen free free free dance &#xD;
The everyone can come to our heaven dance. &#xD;
&#xD;
We have come to be danced &#xD;
Where the kingdoms collide &#xD;
In the cathedral of flesh &#xD;
To burn back into the light &#xD;
To unravel, to play, to fly, to pray &#xD;
To root in skin sanctuary &#xD;
We have come to be danced! We have come." &#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Well, i am off to Toronto on saturday with hoi chiu for a family christmas (15 hr flight from HK).&#xD;

 In 1975, my parents left their hippy commune in Ontario and drove across canada in their VW van to BC to have me in a new and beautiful land...&#xD;
&#xD;
Now, I am going to be meeting my grandma, on my mom's side, again after 8 years and meeting my dad's side of the family for the first time since i was 5!!!! I will be introducing Hoi Chiu, my husband, to everyone and i am excited!!!&#xD;
&#xD;
Winter: a time to go deep, reflect, forgive, move forward with trust and acceptance...may all of your winter solstice celebrations be JOYFULL and remember we are all ONE.&#xD;
&#xD;
I will be seeing ya, my BC KIN, next summer- plan on visiting all of AUGUST....we will dance under the stars and maybe do some creation/performance together too...keep in touch with me, if you want to initiate something fun together!!!&#xD;
&#xD;
peace,&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear friends all over the world,&#xD;
&#xD;
Sitting at my messy desk, getting ready to move to a place further out of the city, we'll be living a five min. bike ride from the ocean and can get fresh seafood and BBQ in our garden front patio. We'll be on the ground floor of a three floor village house, the air is fresh and the sound of crickets at night calm the mind.&#xD;
&#xD;
we're in our messy, land of boxes at the moment, which will soon pass. We are both very busy with many different jobs happening at once. So the challenge of moving on top ov everything is a challenge to rise to the occasion for.&#xD;
&#xD;
We are:&#xD;
&#xD;
- touring 40 high schools with our new show King of Time&#xD;
-both choreographers for an Urban, site specific dance festival&#xD;
-creating a new literacy/environmental pop-up book "storytelling and storybook making" performance/workshop&#xD;
-in November we're off to Shang Hai to perform YuYu MiMi in China!&#xD;
&#xD;
and moving to a better place...&#xD;
&#xD;
Hoi Chiu and I just had our 1st year wedding anniversary too. All is well, we are in love, communicating clearly, i'm doing my yoga classes as much as possible to keep me grounded, calm and have personal time.&#xD;
&#xD;
Starting to meet some more ladies too, which is needed for the sistar vibes to keep strong. I sometimes miss the equinox circles and am finally meeting some women who also feel drawn to connect on those days...&#xD;
&#xD;
Hoping to come to BC for next summer fun times...wanna play?&#xD;
&#xD;
loving you,&#xD;
&#xD;
maggie blue&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;i went to yoga today and then after my class they told&#xD;
me that their manager had been fired and that one&#xD;
third of their clients had not been having their&#xD;
monthly money taken out of their accounts- it was just&#xD;
realized now- and now they tell me, they hadn't been&#xD;
taking the monthly membership of $549.00 HK out of my&#xD;
account every month- as i'd thought they were- and you&#xD;
know me, i didn't notice they wern't taking it, i just&#xD;
assumed they were- and NOW they say they need me to&#xD;
pay the last ten months all at once- which is&#xD;
$HK 5,490.00- which is too much for me to pay all at once&#xD;
and it's THEIR fault for not being organized and&#xD;
getting their money the way i had agreed to- which was&#xD;
monthly-&#xD;
&#xD;
what should i do?&#xD;
&#xD;
one of the yoga teachers said that people are leaving&#xD;
the studio and not paying, others are paying in full.&#xD;
&#xD;
perhaps i could just pay them in 5 chunks of 1,000 or&#xD;
so.&#xD;
&#xD;
I wish i knew a lawyer i could ask about this...any&#xD;
advice?&#xD;
&#xD;
thanks,&#xD;
&#xD;

Celebrating the Seasons &#xD;
Lore and Rituals by Selena Fox&#xD;
&#xD;
Beltane&#xD;
&#xD;
Also known as May Eve, May Day, and Walpurgis Night, happens at the beginning of May. It celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. The Goddess manifests as the May Queen and Flora. The God emerges as the May King and Jack in the Green. The danced Maypole represents Their unity, with the pole itself being the God and the ribbons that encompass it, the Goddess. Colors are the Rainbow spectrum. Beltane is a festival of flowers, fertility, sensuality, and delight.&#xD;
Prepare a May basket by filling it with flowers and goodwill and then give it to someone in need of healing and caring, such as a shut-in or elderly friend. Form a wreath of freshly picked flowers, wear it in your hair, and feel yourself radiating joy and beauty. Dress in bright colors. Dance the Maypole and feel yourself balancing the Divine Female and Male within. On May Eve, bless your garden in the old way by making love with your lover in it. Make a wish as you jump a bonfire or candle flame for good luck. Welcome in the May at dawn with singing and dancing.&#xD;

Sacred Time&#xD;
Going A-Maying &amp;amp; Bringing in the May -- Merry-making and Nature communion. * Midpoint between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. * In Pagan Rome, Floralia, from April 27-May 3 was the festival of the Flower Goddess Flora and the flowering of Springtime. On May 1, offerings were made to Bona Dea (as Mother Earth), the Lares (household guardian spirits), and Maia (Goddess of Increase) from whom May gets its name. * Roman Catholic traditions of crowning statues of Mary with flowers on May 1 have Roman Pagan roots. * Marks the second half of the Celtic Year; one of the four Celtic Fire Festivals. Complement to Samhain, it is a time of divination and communion with Fairy Folk/Nature Spirits. * Pastoral tradition of turning sheep, cows, other livestock out to pasture. * In Pagan Scandinavia, mock battles between Winter and Summer were enacted at this time. * Building on older tradition of this time being a holiday for the masses, in the twentieth century, May Day has been a workers' holiday in many places. * Some say that Mother's Day, in the USA, Mexico, and elsewhere has Pagan roots.&#xD;
&#xD;
Maypole&#xD;
Forms include pole, tree, bush, cross; communal or household; permanent or annual. * In Germany, Fir tree was cut on May Eve by young unmarried men, branches removed, decorated, put up in village square, &amp;amp; guarded all night until dance occurred on May Day. * In England, permanent Maypoles were erected on village greens * In some villages, there also were smaller Maypoles in the yards of households. * Maypole ribbondances, with two circles interweaving; around decorated bush/tree, clockwise circle dances.&#xD;
&#xD;
Flowers &amp;amp; Greenwood&#xD;
Gathering and exchange of Flowers and Greens on May Eve, pre-dawn May Day, Beltane. * Decorating homes, barns, and other buildings with Green budding branches, including Hawthorn. * Making and wearing of garland wreaths of Flowers and/or Greens. * May Baskets were given or placed secretly on doorsteps to friends, shut-ins, lovers, others. * May Bowl was punch (wine or non-alcoholic) made of Sweet Woodruff blossoms.&#xD;
&#xD;
Beltane Fires&#xD;
Traditionally, sacred woods kindled by spark from flint or by friction -- in Irish Gaelic, the Beltane Fire has been called teine eigin (fire from rubbing sticks). * Jump over the Beltane Fire, move through it, or dance clockwise around it. * Livestock was driven through it or between two fires for purification and fertility blessings. * In ancient times Druid priests kindled it at sacred places; later times, Christian priests kindled it in fields near the church after peforming a Christian church service. * Rowan twigs were carried around the fire three times, then hung over hearths to bless homes. * In the past, Beltane community fire purification customs included symbolic sacrifice of effigy knobs on the Beltane Cake (of barley) to the fire, or, in medieval times, mock sacrifice of Beltane Carline (Hag) who received blackened piece of Beltane Cake; Maypoles in Spain were each topped with a male effigy which was later burned. Contemporary Pagans burn sacred wood and dried herbs as offerings in their Beltane fires.&#xD;
&#xD;
May Waters&#xD;
Rolling in May Eve dew or washing face in pre-dawn May Day dew for health, luck, beauty. * Getting head and hair wet in Beltane rain to bless the head. * Blessing springs, ponds, other sacred waters with flowers, garlands, ribbons, other offerings. * Collecting sacred waters and scrying in sacred springs, wells, ponds, other waters.&#xD;
&#xD;
Sacred Union &amp;amp; Fertility&#xD;
Union with the Land focus, often with actual mating outside on the Land to bless fields, herds, home. * May Queen (May Bride) as personification of the Earth Goddess and Goddesses of Fertility. * May King (May Groom) as personification of Vegetation God, Jack-in-Green -- often covered in green leaves. * At Circle Sanctuary, in addition to May Queen &amp;amp; May King, is May Spirit Couple, an already bonded pair. * Symbolic Union of Goddess and God in election/selection, crowning, processional, Maypole dance, feast. * Morris Dancers and pageants (with Hag &amp;amp; Jack-in-Green) to awaken the fertility in the Land.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Bali is gorgeous! lush warm heat exudes every inch. tropical fruit, lovely smiles, open hearts, ancient culture, temples of psychedelic lore, tempeh gado gado-mmmm, friends from around the globe seem to all reconnect here. &#xD;
&#xD;
Friends and new kin are here in the jungle and also down an hour's drive into the bigger city Seminyak/Kuta. Candy Curly pawpaw and me have rented a house in the neighborhood called Penestanen in Ubud. We have a house to ourselves and Tarran and Nayanna are in a house right beside us. Other california friends Juniper and Buddhamonkey are right beside us as well in another home that is "Epic"- the word of the month it seems in Bali-with a lovely pool and loungey areas. Candy and I enjoyed the past three days at a southern beach called Dreamland. Surfer's paradise with turquoise waters. We rose for the dawn and walked on the beach exploring the rock formations and tidal pools, then yoga sessions up on the veranda of our bungalow, fruit salads...lots of suntanning and swimming in the crazy strong waves- bikini eating waves actually..almost ripped the bottoms right off a' me! &#xD;
&#xD;
I am riding a moped!!! and loving it...feeling freedom and independance. I have gratidtude and trust in life and am thankful for this time with the ladies to unwind after my HK YuYu MiMi show. relaxing, undwinding, day spas with honey and lime massages..i know it's been rough.&#xD;
&#xD;
thought i'd share the goodness with y'all&#xD;
&#xD;
loving you and i'll be home in HK by aprl 24th.&#xD;
&#xD;
peace out.&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;so, it's becoming more clear. I am in my 30's now. WOW. When I was 18 It seemed sooo far away to be thirty. Back then, I thought I'd be famous, rich and starring in movies by now. But actually, my reality, as it is, is pretty good too and i'm realizing that aknowledgement and appreciation from my professional peers is much better than being hugely famous...as that takes all of our personal privacy away. And I enjoy being a shapeshifter, chameleon, ninja, stealthily moving like a panther through the crowds. I am giving thanks ,and you are my witnesses, for an amazing journey this time 'round on earth. My lessons have been to be honest with my feelings, be gentle and not push too hard, forgiveness is nessesary for our hearts to heal, let love in...the lessons keep coming! &#xD;
&#xD;
As Shiela Chandra says in her song: Love is an ocean, the ocean refuses no river.&#xD;
&#xD;
As long as we keep eating in a balanced way, keep fit by excercising whether it's yoga, the gym, swimming or dancing etc... enjoy life and keep it humble and grounded yet majical and blissful...our age will rise gracefully with no resistance. &#xD;
&#xD;
May I embrace change and enjoy the wisdom that comes with it!&#xD;
&#xD;
thank you for my blessings, may we all have gratitude for what we've been given.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;i am having a much deserved day off and going to have a bubble bath and enjoy and few quiet hours to myself. Chiu has gone to watch another friend's-Chung Ying Co.'s- chinese theatre show. I've chosen to enjoy some ME time.&#xD;
&#xD;
Our two opening shows of YuYu MiMi went reatlly well. Full houses, lots of tears and people touched by the show. The vice president of public affairs of HK and China from Exxon (our sponsors from the hong kong arts festival) came to opening night and loved it! She had lots to share about why she liked it so much and asked us what was next and that she wants to support us more. &#xD;
&#xD;
The women from singapore came to our show and hadnt done any research. She assumed it was an all puppets show and for kids and was surprised of its multi media melancholy. But she said she cried at the end and liked it ...ribble-our producer -will continue talks with them about us performing over there in their gorgeous theatre next feb.perhaps.&#xD;
&#xD;
We've been invited to perform at The 11th World Puppet Festival in PRAGUE!!! I got an email from them months ago asking us to apply with a show, so i sent off our show's info, then heard nothing. Then a few days ago, i got a mass email from them saying thanks to everyone who applied and then the email had a list of over 25 company's that were chosen and we were NOT on the list and no one from canada or asia was chosen. So, i felt a little disappointed but thought maybe next time. Then, I wrote a little letter to them, Saying: good luck with your festival, please keep us in mind for next year, thank you- maggie blue and hoi chiu from HK/Canada. Then a day later i get an invititation to attend their festival, saying their jury chose us! hmm? not sure what happened, but now we are applying for travel money- as they dont pay for flights or shipping or production fees. But they do They pay for accomodation, food and a daily stipend. The festival is juried and it's a competition with awards and prizes. Winning an award would be great and helpful! so...we're dealing with all that now too as well as next week we have 6 more performances to go with our show. The festival is a puppet theatre and puppet film festival..it'll be so inspiring to see all the other shows and meet amazing puppet masters from Europe! A dream becoming reality.&#xD;
&#xD;
Then I will be doing three days of Representing canada at a university which is having a global carnival, for some extra money and making an ally with the canadian consulate. Then chiu and I will be doing a one day workshop, teaching kids shadow puppets at Kadoorie farm.&#xD;
&#xD;
Then I leave for bali and he leaves for Taiwan for a month of relaxation, healthy alone time and preproduction on our next projects.&#xD;
&#xD;
whphew....thought i'd share what i've been up to with y'all&#xD;
&#xD;
loving you,&#xD;

I have a friend in Hong Kong who owns a gorgeous new theatre cafe called, Le Rideau. We are going to start creating a burleque show, have a first meeting with the group of girls next week. I am going to help with Choreography and thought I'd send it out there into the Tribal Light Weave to get some good ideas, suggestions, tips, info on other burlesque shows that are cool that i can research etc...&#xD;

thanks for your help lovers!&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Some days i forget why i am here, i feel hopeless and want to get off this planet.&#xD;
Somtimes i feel small and pointless, i feel i am not doing enough and don't feel motivated to do anything more.&#xD;
&#xD;
What do you suggest on days like this?&#xD;
&#xD;
i take a bubble bath, i do my best to be thankful for what i do have, i allow myself to "not know" what is happening and know this too shall pass..but then what?&#xD;
&#xD;
Why are we here?&#xD;
Why is there so much darkness in the world?&#xD;
How long is this veil of greed going to take control?&#xD;
&#xD;
Is being a good person ( as good as we can in every moment) enough?&#xD;
Is doing ART enough? &#xD;
&#xD;
Do you ever dream of helping people more? How can i be of service and inspire people and myself at the same time?&#xD;
&#xD;
These days of the darkness before the dawn can stretch my patience, I remember a time of love and ease- a dream that is far away and i want to touch it again. When can we ALL be fed and nurtured in this world? And if this jest keeps going on and on and on and on how can i maintain a sanity within this chaos? &#xD;
&#xD;
Do any of you, my star kin, have any suggestions on survival, maintenance and clarity?&#xD;
&#xD;
thank you.&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;As i write this blog update the windows are shaking. A typhoon #3 is raging outside with high winds ripping signs off the streets and sheets of rain twisting peoples umbrellas inside out.&#xD;
&#xD;
I read some new poetry and sang some of my rhythms last night at a poetry reading called OUTLOUD at the Fringe Club in central Hong Kong. I was invited to be one of the featured readers for the night. Reading and singing outloud, in front of an audience is good practice for once I complete my book of poetry and album of songs i will want to/need to go out and share my work with people. Even though I have been performing most of my life i still get butterflies in my tummy right before i get up on stage and it takes a couple minutes on stage with  a 'lil shakey-ness before i return to my grounded self and am able to share my words and voice.&#xD;
&#xD;
Listening to Ben Harper and Bjork that i downloaded from LIMEWIRE... what an awesome search engine, yu can get any music and pictures and programmes you want for free!&#xD;
I bought my first laptop!!!!! Yippeeee. For many years I wrote in my journals how i must: Buy a laptop and get writing more seriously, Do Yoga, and stop smoking the ganja...and until now i hadnt been able to do any of those goals. Now living in Hong Kong i am successfully accomplishing all of them. Finally, at 31, i am walking my talk.&#xD;
&#xD;
i raise a glass and give a CHEERS to all of us walking our talk!!! and doing our best to get there!&#xD;
&#xD;
Hoi Chiu and I are getting married. Yes, it's true. I never thought as i grew up that i'd ever get married. My parents are hippies and never got married and never set an examplef or me that marriage was important but now as I am in love and we want to Enjoy our Wedding Ritual together. We talk about rituals, milestones and initiations in life. And marriage is one MAJOR initiation and ritual that people can consciously participate in with their loved ones. As birth and death are MAJOR initiations but we are either too young or too old to really appreciate the changes we are going through. So, I give thanks and grattitude for finding my love and being able toshare my life with him. and I give thanks for having a supportive circle of family and friends who share our happiness for us being together.&#xD;
&#xD;
i searched a loooong time to find love. After a long, hard, challenging search for love. I finally gave up. i decided i had to spend some quality time with my self. to really look inside, see who i was, what i needed and then learn to fulfill those desires for myself. then and only then was i able to allow another person into my personal space and truely be vulnerable and available enough for involvement with another person. May we all find inner satisfaction and be able to share that tenderness with another sweet soul. May we all have forgiveness for our dark sides and past choices/actions and know that we are beautiful with all sides open and understood.&#xD;
&#xD;
I am now preparing for our wedding ritual here in Hong Kong. Gonna get married on OCtober 3rd at the hk city hall with 30 guests as witnesses, then a vegetarian dim sum, then a boat cruise around the islands. In the evening we are having a swanky dinner at a nice restarant out in the harbour. It looks like a James Bond movie, all lit up in the middle of a marina, you take a little boat ride to get out to the retaurant and then we've booked a gazebo on the rooftop for a table of 12 close friends. My Friends :girlfriend Tara Burst and her Partner Ryan are coming all the way from Alberta Canada- they are some of my Fellow Green Samurai Clan comrades and I am Soooo happy they are going to enjoy the wedding with us.&#xD;
&#xD;
Then we'll be off to thailand for a honeymoon...swimming, sunsets and snorkeling&#xD;
&#xD;
Then we're coming over to BC in mid october to enjoy our celebration with our close bc friends.&#xD;
&#xD;
Busy with puppets, festival applications and rehearsals for our upcoming shows.&#xD;
&#xD;
I give thanks for all my challenges in life as they have made me a stronger and more humble being.&#xD;
&#xD;
blessed be.&#xD;
&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;An Opportunity to Serve the Light&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
&gt; An Opportunity to Serve the Light&#xD;
&gt; by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; www.eraofpeace.org&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; This has been a summer of extraordinary planetary alignments. These&#xD;
&gt; celestial events have accelerated the purging that is taking place &#xD;
through&#xD;
&gt; the influx of the new 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Violet &#xD;
Flame.&#xD;
&gt; Saint Germain, his Legions of the Violet Flame and millions of &#xD;
embodied&#xD;
&gt; Lightworkers all over the world have successfully orchestrated this&#xD;
&gt; purification process. This cleansing has been done in a way that &#xD;
resulted&#xD;
&gt; in the maximum transmutation of Humanity's destructive miscreations.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; The intensified influx of God's Light is causing everything that &#xD;
conflicts&#xD;
&gt; with the original patterns of perfection destined for this planet to &#xD;
be&#xD;
&gt; pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted into Light. This&#xD;
&gt; involves any areas of our individual or collective lives that are not&#xD;
&gt; reflecting our highest potential. All we have to do is observe the&#xD;
&gt; stressful things that are taking place in our personal lives and on &#xD;
the&#xD;
&gt; planet to recognize the magnitude of this purging process.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; This unprecedented cleansing event is being allowed at this time by &#xD;
our&#xD;
&gt; Father-Mother God because of the urgency of the hour, and because it &#xD;
is&#xD;
&gt; clear that there are enough awakened souls willing to assist in the&#xD;
&gt; process to cocreate a God Victorious outcome. This degree of &#xD;
purification&#xD;
&gt; has not been attempted before and would never be allowed if it was &#xD;
going&#xD;
&gt; to cause more harm than good.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Now it is time for the next phase of this Divine Plan. It is not by &#xD;
chance&#xD;
&gt; that your I AM Presence has drawn this information into your sphere &#xD;
of&#xD;
&gt; awareness. You have been preparing for aeons of time to assist with &#xD;
this&#xD;
&gt; activity of Light. There are myriad ways in which you can &#xD;
participate, and&#xD;
&gt; your I AM Presence will guide you unerringly to the right and perfect &#xD;
one.&#xD;
&gt; Listen to your Inner Guidance. You have all of the knowledge, skill,&#xD;
&gt; talent, wisdom, ability and courage you need to fulfill whatever it &#xD;
is you&#xD;
&gt; have been called to do during this Cosmic Moment.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; When frequencies of discord are transmuted into Light, a void is left&#xD;
&gt; where the discord previously existed. In order to prevent more &#xD;
discord&#xD;
&gt; from filling that space, the void must be sealed with Light. The &#xD;
Beings of&#xD;
&gt; Light  have indicated that the greatest need of the hour is for&#xD;
&gt; Lightworkers to seal the monumental voids being created through the&#xD;
&gt; awesome purging of the Violet Flame that is taking place this year. &#xD;
They&#xD;
&gt; said that the most effective and life-transforming way of sealing &#xD;
these&#xD;
&gt; voids is by filling them with the original patterns of perfection &#xD;
destined&#xD;
&gt; for Mother Earth and all her Life. These are the patterns contained &#xD;
within&#xD;
&gt; the Etheric records of the Garden of Eden.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; The Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth have revealed to &#xD;
us&#xD;
&gt; that the Island of Kauai in Hawaii, known as the Garden Isle, &#xD;
contains&#xD;
&gt; within its Etheric records The Immaculate Concept or Divine Blueprint &#xD;
of&#xD;
&gt; the Garden of Eden. These Etheric records contain the archetypes of &#xD;
the&#xD;
&gt; pristine beauty that Mother Earth was invested with in the beginning &#xD;
and&#xD;
&gt; the Divine Potential of what she must reclaim in order to Ascend into &#xD;
her&#xD;
&gt; rightful place on the Spiral of Evolution in the 5th Dimension. &#xD;
Mother&#xD;
&gt; Earth's Divine Potential contains not only the archetypes of her own&#xD;
&gt; perfection but the perfection of every Human Being, Elemental and &#xD;
Angel&#xD;
&gt; evolving upon her.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; In order to fulfill this urgent need, a plan has been set into motion&#xD;
&gt; through the unified efforts of Heaven and Earth. This plan involves&#xD;
&gt; Lightworkers from all over the world gathering on the sacred Island &#xD;
of&#xD;
&gt; Kauai to serve as surrogates on behalf of Humanity. Through the&#xD;
&gt; unification of our Heart Flames, we will form a mighty transformer, a&#xD;
&gt; Chalice of Light, through which the Light of God will flow to &#xD;
reactivate&#xD;
&gt; the original patterns of perfection within the Etheric records of the&#xD;
&gt; Garden of Eden. These are the patterns of the Divine Destiny intended &#xD;
for&#xD;
&gt; Mother Earth prior to the fall. These are the patterns that contain &#xD;
the&#xD;
&gt; archetypes for Heaven on Earth-the patterns that contain the &#xD;
Immaculate&#xD;
&gt; Concept of God's Divine Love, Eternal Peace, Limitless Abundance, &#xD;
Vibrant&#xD;
&gt; Health, Eternal Youth, Abounding Joy, Reverence for Life and Infinite&#xD;
&gt; Light for every evolving Human Being, Elemental and Angel.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Imagine what the activation of these patterns of perfection will mean &#xD;
to&#xD;
&gt; our evolutionary process. If the voids left behind after the Violet &#xD;
Flame&#xD;
&gt; transmutes Humanity's human miscreations are filled with patterns of &#xD;
God's&#xD;
&gt; Limitless Perfection, just think how this will accelerate our goal &#xD;
toward&#xD;
&gt; reaching a critical mass of Heaven on Earth.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; The vehicle that will be used to accomplish this goal is the 20th &#xD;
Annual&#xD;
&gt; World Congress On Illumination. The clarion call has gone forth. The&#xD;
&gt; Company of Heaven has invoked our assistance on behalf of Humanity &#xD;
and all&#xD;
&gt; Life evolving on this sweet Earth.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; We will all be in our right and perfect place. If you feel the heart &#xD;
call&#xD;
&gt; to participate in the 20th Annual World Congress on Illumination, it &#xD;
is&#xD;
&gt; not too late to register. For detailed information on how you can &#xD;
attend&#xD;
&gt; this event, please go to our website www.eraofpeace.org or call&#xD;
&gt; 520-885-7909.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Whenever you volunteer to serve as an Instrument of God in &#xD;
fulfillment of&#xD;
&gt; the Divine Plan, the floodgates of Heaven will open to support you &#xD;
and to&#xD;
&gt; pave the way. Trust this profound Truth.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; If you do not feel the heart call to be physically present in Kauai, &#xD;
know&#xD;
&gt; that this is a global event and you can weave your magnificent Light &#xD;
into&#xD;
&gt; our Chalice of Light from wherever you are on the face of the Earth.&#xD;
&gt; Listen to your heart, and respond according to your Inner Guidance.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Throughout this vitally important week, August 12-17, 2006, stay &#xD;
focused&#xD;
&gt; on the Light. Meditate, join with other Lightworkers and create your &#xD;
own&#xD;
&gt; activity of Light, be a Peace Commanding Presence and radiate Divine &#xD;
Love&#xD;
&gt; with every breath you take.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; This Divine Plan requires one thing from you:&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; YOUR ONE-POINTED CONSCIOUSNESS, FOCUSED IN BUOYANT JOY, DIVINE  LOVE  &#xD;
AND&#xD;
&gt; REVERENCE  FOR  ALL  LIFE.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; As you progress through these holy days, remember that above all &#xD;
things,&#xD;
&gt; your responsibility is to release the most loving, joyous, playful,&#xD;
&gt; uplifting, harmonious energy you can possibly express.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; No matter what challenges or tests may be presented to you, know that&#xD;
&gt; nothing is worth moving away from the harmony of your true Being. Be &#xD;
the&#xD;
&gt; expression of Divine Love you have been prepared to be.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; This is your moment!  You have come to save the Earth, and your time &#xD;
is at&#xD;
&gt; hand.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; In addition to the guidance you will be receiving day by day from the&#xD;
&gt; Company of Heaven, your I AM Presence will be guiding you through &#xD;
your own&#xD;
&gt; unique preparation. Ask for assistance, and remain in a state of &#xD;
Listening&#xD;
&gt; Grace at all times. This is an amazing opportunity for each of us to &#xD;
add&#xD;
&gt; to the Light of the world.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Remember, you are the Hands of God in the world of form for the&#xD;
&gt; fulfillment of this miraculous facet of the Divine Plan. You have all &#xD;
of&#xD;
&gt; the wisdom, courage, strength, skill and illumination you need to &#xD;
succeed&#xD;
&gt; God Victoriously.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; For your selfless Divine Service on behalf of the Family of Humanity, &#xD;
your&#xD;
&gt; name will be written in the Book of Life for all Eternity.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Just for a moment, go within your heart to the secret place of the &#xD;
Most&#xD;
&gt; High Living God. There, in the Peace of the Great Solar Quiet, feel &#xD;
the&#xD;
&gt; arms of our Father-Mother God embrace you.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; KNOW that Their Love and Gratitude are bathing you in deep &#xD;
appreciation&#xD;
&gt; for the sacrifices you made in the expenditure of time, money and &#xD;
energy&#xD;
&gt; to participate in this activity of Light.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Through your dedication to the Light, the Immaculate Concept of this&#xD;
&gt; wondrous Divine Plan will be victoriously accomplished.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; GOD BLESS YOU!&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; INVOCATION  FOR  THE  WORLD  CONGRESS  ON  ILLUMINATION&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; In the Name of the Almighty Presence of God I AM, and through the &#xD;
power of&#xD;
&gt; the Creative Fire pulsating in every human heart, I invoke the entire&#xD;
&gt; Company of Heaven, the Legions of God's Will and Divine Order.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Powers of Light--Come Forth NOW!!!&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Blessed Ones, envelop every man, woman and child in a forcefield of &#xD;
your&#xD;
&gt; Divine Consciousness. Raise ALL into the remembrance of the vows they &#xD;
took&#xD;
&gt; in the Heart of God to Love this planet and all Life FREE. Cut free &#xD;
any&#xD;
&gt; line of force that is interfering with this Divine Revelation.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; I invoke the mighty I AM Presence of every person to take command of &#xD;
their&#xD;
&gt; physical, etheric, mental and emotional vehicles, and fill each soul &#xD;
with&#xD;
&gt; Divine Love, Faith, Courage, Confidence, Abundance, Knowing, Trust,&#xD;
&gt; Illumined Truth, Humility, Gratitude and Abounding Joy.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Allow each person to KNOW the urgency of the hour and the need for &#xD;
his or&#xD;
&gt; her physical participation in the World Congress On Illumination. &#xD;
Allow&#xD;
&gt; the Truth of the opportunity at hand to resonate in each Heart Flame. &#xD;
Let&#xD;
&gt; each person perceive, on a conscious level, the glorious results this&#xD;
&gt; unification of Lightworkers will have for ALL Life evolving on this &#xD;
sweet&#xD;
&gt; Earth.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Let the awareness of the untold blessings awaiting those who &#xD;
selflessly&#xD;
&gt; serve Humanity be anchored in their feeling worlds. May the buoyant &#xD;
joy&#xD;
&gt; and elation of such service also be experienced by each one.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; Legions of Light, expand this activity daily and hourly until every&#xD;
&gt; Lightworker answers his or her Heart's Call and carries this blessed&#xD;
&gt; planet HOME.&#xD;
&gt;&#xD;
&gt; I accept it done through the power of God I AM. And so it is!&#xD;
