      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/52f7e654-8051-489b-88a8-6b52835d7262/blog/ad41c1d2-52e6-4161-b80c-1c7d9c627ece"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/4bb/747/4bb7471a-1545-43a7-981d-9700fe4a1b7e.thumb" width="65" height="68" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;So I've been gone as I've been focusing on my health. Found some amazing things and some not so amazing. What a weird journey I've chosen. I've now decided that I should choose joy as my path in life. This growth path always leaves something to be desired. I need some happiness next. So any thoughts on how to choose a more joyful path? Thought I was doing it, but became aware of where my focus has been. Growth. Growth just means you'll always have to keep growing and life will throw all sorts of crazy stuff at you, so what is there to grow into? More Growth?&#xD;
&#xD;
Having Joy and Love that could be a nice satisfying time. I'd like to bathe in love and joy and drown myself in it, until that's all that I breathe or eat. &#xD;
&#xD;
I want to choose joy and love. Trying to figure this one out. My head is stuck on growing and learning, like a loop. Must get out of it. One thing leads me to the next and to the next. Does what I'm saying make sense to anyone? Always more to learn and that's the trap.&#xD;
&#xD;
So yeah...Love. Need lots more of it, applied liberally every where. Joy, tons of it, thrown at me with all the force I can take. That would be a nice change to the struggle. &lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Awareness</title>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;AWARENESS&#xD;
&#xD;
Mind can never be intelligent - only no-mind is intelligent. Only no-mind is original and radical. Only no-mind is revolutionary - revolution is action.&#xD;
&#xD;
This mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You don't live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is.&#xD;
&#xD;
MAJOR ARCANA VII&#xD;
&#xD;
The veil of illusion, or maya, that has been keeping you from perceiving reality as it is, is starting to burn away. The fire is not the heated fire of passion, but the cool flames of awareness. As it burns the veil, the face of a very delicate and childlike buddha becomes visible.&#xD;
The awareness that is growing in you now is not the result of any conscious 'doing', nor do you need to struggle to make something happen. Any sense you might have had that you've been groping in the dark is dissolving now, or will be dissolving soon. Let yourself settle, and remember that deep inside you are just a witness, eternally silent, aware and unchanged. A channel is now opening from the circumference of activity to that center of witnessing. It will help you to become detached, an a new awareness will lift the veil from your eyes.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Compromise</title>

      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/52f7e654-8051-489b-88a8-6b52835d7262/blog/e825564f-7668-4af7-b87e-44f59c43859f"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/9c2/394/9c23947b-0409-4e47-9f85-1903ba254649.thumb" width="52" height="78" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Decided to pull a card from my friend's Osho's Zen Tarot card deck. Something that would help me understand how to best navigate my way thru the changing energies this week. I pulled Compromise. I'm wondering if this will apply to anyone else. The way that I read this is that it's time to live our truths unflinchingly. Time to pay special attention to that throat chakra. Don't compromise yourself for anyone or thing. &#xD;
&#xD;
Meaning for the card: &#xD;
Don't be clever, otherwise you will remain the same, you will not change. Half-techniques on the path of love and half-techniques on the path of meditation will create much confusion in you. They will not help....&#xD;
&#xD;
But to ask for help is against the ego, so you try to compromise. This compromise will be more dangerous, it will confuse you more because, made out of confusion, it will create more confusion. So try to understand why you hanker for compromise. Sooner or later you will be able to understand that compromise is not going to help. And compromise may be a way of not going in either direction, or it may be just a repression of your confusion. It will assert itself.&#xD;
&#xD;
Never repress anything, be clear-cut about your situation. And if you are confused, remember that you are confused. This will be the first clear-cut thing about you: that you are confused. You have started on the journey.&#xD;
&#xD;
Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang, Chapter 4&#xD;
&#xD;
The following is the commentary for the card Compromise:&#xD;
In the courts of ancient Japan, the male attendants were often selected from the ranks of petty criminals who were castrated. Because of their intimate familiarity with the activities of the court, they were often at the center of the political and social intrigues and exercised a great deal of power behind the scenes.&#xD;
&#xD;
The two figures on this card remind us of the sleazy and conspiratorial situations we can get into when we compromise our own truth. It is one thing to meet another halfway, to understand a point of view different from our own and work towards a harmony of the opposing forces. It is quite another to "cave in" and betray our own truth. If we look deeply into it, we usually find that we are trying to gain something--whether it is power or the approval of others. If you are tempted, beware: the rewards of this kind of compromise always leave a bitter taste in the mouth.&#xD;
&#xD;

      <title>THE OUT OF CONTROL ENERGIES, STAYING VIGILANT, AND GETTING BACK IN THE SADDLE</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/52f7e654-8051-489b-88a8-6b52835d7262/blog/3eb3c647-70f5-4b34-bec4-d4e2a0633238</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;"And if you are one who is usually very open, trusting, sharing, and very considerate in healthy and appropriate ways, you may very well get clobbered now and in times to come. And the reason for this brings us to another current situation which is creating yet another experience as well."&#xD;
&#xD;
This particularly struck a chord as I've been learning quickly that it's time to stand back and let others learn their lesson. I'm not interfering, just taking care of my own business. Which keeps me busy enough. I've been working at getting rid of attachments and cleansing and purifying myself. So anyways, here's the latest update....&#xD;
&#xD;
May 30 , 2008                                                  &#xD;
THE OUT OF CONTROL ENERGIES, STAYING VIGILANT, AND GETTING BACK IN THE SADDLE&#xD;

&#xD;
&#xD;
Is anyone minding the store? Are things completely out of control? Why are some of us feeling vulnerable, fearful, lost without a rudder, with chaos abounding and perhaps wondering what in the world is going on? Has it become near impossible to put even a toe out there without having a strange and uncomfortable experience? Do we need to keep completely to ourselves behind a closed door with no interation with much of anything? Are we being taken advantage of and used for our love and kindness? Is there a sense of danger at every turn? Are things actually being monitored for our best outcomes and are we indeed being protected at all? And at the same time, are bits and pieces arriving for us if oh so slowly, for our new residency to become intact in the higher realms?&#xD;
&#xD;
After we finally reached this next plateau, weren’t we supposed to arrive in heaven on Earth? If we are indeed here in a higher vibration now, why is it so uncomfortable and unpredictable?&#xD;
&#xD;
Well…….we actually have arrived in a higher vibrating reality and here are some of the current manifestations, but as always, we are in a stage which will indeed be completed eventually, as it will most certainly not last forever. But I have to say that this is one of the strangest stages of ascension that I have seen yet, and it is mostly here now because of our freedom of choice and our own personal vibrations.&#xD;
&#xD;
Currently, we are transitioning (when are we not transitioning?) from a reality of dependency on a controlling facet of energy to one of complete independence. We are at the helm now and it is vitally important that we make decisions on our own, without being swayed by outside infulences of a lower vibrating nature... or even outside influences from others who view things from a completely different filter or stance than we do. It is important now that we step back if needed and remember who we are and what we indeed came to contribute...that we remind ourselves what we are here to do, and not what others may want. And in this way, stay very vigilant in what we know to be the best for ourselves and for the planet.&#xD;
&#xD;
When we first arrive here in this new and higher vibrating reality of late, we may feel very naked. This is because there is so much less density in higher vibrating realities that we can feel nothing much between ourselves and most of everything else.&#xD;
&#xD;
In this regard, then, we can feel extremely vulnerable with no protection. Perhaps even raw and helpless, but this is the way it is when we can see so much more of what is there, without having to look through walls of density or forests of lower vibrating energies. And what we can now see can feel scary, dark, perhaps uncomfortable, and may even leave us feeling spooked. Much is open now. The walls and density have very much dissipated.&#xD;
&#xD;
And add to this the fact that we have dropped much of any lower vibrating and dense energies within ourselves as well.....hence, our old defenses are no longer available. We are vulnerable and raw indeed.&#xD;
&#xD;
So then, what are some of the manifestations of this current situation we may be finding ourselves in?&#xD;
&#xD;
In the health arena, many are having different experiences to medication. We may not respond to certain medications now like we did before. Or, a combination of medications may not interact in the same way. This is because of the openings to a higher vibration we are now having, and it creates new alignments and changes within our systems. Blood pressures are becoming eratic as well. Too high for awhile, and then strangley and suddenly low. (Please seek medical attention when needed...not everything is an ascension experience.) Weight loss if finally here! Wheeee! I have lost 15 pounds since the end of March. We need not hold that density of protection and of the light for others any longer within ourselves.&#xD;
&#xD;
After seeming chaos and stressful scenarios, solutions are now manifesting and many are finding themselves in better than ever states of health and wellness.&#xD;
&#xD;
Learning about appropriate boundaries is more prevalent now than ever before. The process of ascension always brings regular phases relating to less boundaries because of less density, and we are now in yet another one indeed. The boundaries become thinner and thinner and we need to be ever more mindful to practice setting stronger boundaries...especially now when there is not much left of the old world and old vibrations to hold onto for many, and they will naturally, then, strive to grasp onto something else... which many times is those who vibrate higher. This also relates to darkness trying to hold on as well. Thus, extremely tight boundaries are more important than ever now. So then, if you are one who is here to serve others needing assistance, it is time now more than ever before to be vigilant about appropriate boundaries between yourself and others, and to be ever mindful of taking on the energies of others....a very natural things for a lightworker because of how we are wired. Over-helping, too much compassion, and putting others needs before ours can create this situation as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
And if you are one who is usually very open, trusting, sharing, and very considerate in healthy and appropriate ways, you may very well get clobbered now and in times to come. And the reason for this brings us to another current situation which is creating yet another experience as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
Along with the situation of clinging and grasping energies mentioned above, much of the old reality is falling away now and this is creating unusual and fearful behaviors in many...among those a natural human inclination for some to look out for oneself, to protect oneself, to grasp onto something to save oneself, and thus, to completely forget about the whole in these times of stress, fear, and uneasiness.&#xD;
&#xD;
Here in the US we are feeling the pressures of skyrocketing gas prices and food prices, to name a few. This can create a continual feeling of uneasiness and fear, of uncertainty and insecurity for many. For those who are sensitive, it can be quite a daunting challenge not to pick up these energies. But this is part of the fall. This is part of the passing of the old. We are being turned inside out in order to start anew.&#xD;
&#xD;
This falling away is a planetary occurence as well, as there is not much of the old density left for much to hold onto. Tendrils of this process which is now occurring quite intensely now in the US will branch out and eventually affect the whole in a more substantial way. And in addition, there is also much occurring in regard to re-setting or re-aligning all over the planet, manifesting as earth changes and much else. What a transitional time we are in indeed!&#xD;
&#xD;
A natural human tendency can be one of survival. So then, we can also find ourselves experiencing many who are greatly looking out for themselves, and thus, making things difficult for others. This is part of the process. For those who are supporting the whole and who see unity as a natural by-product of the fall, these times we are currently experiencing can prove to be dissapointing, exhausting, deeply saddening, and most certainly unpleasant as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
What we are experiencing now is the transition of leaving the old world behind and beginning the transition into unity. This is creating chaos, distress, sadness and grief, but at the same time, there are the beginnings of this new unity manifesting as well. As in any transition, it can be difficult in the beginning, and then it eventually snowballs and a higher vibrating reailty then becomes the current and new reality.&#xD;
&#xD;
So then, we will break apart and then come back together again. We will re-unite after some of us have had meltdowns, great feelings of loss of control, perhaps panic attacks, and intense disappointments and sadness regarding this current status we are now experiencing. But know that this is simply a part of a great and massive transition. This is the beginning, and these experiences will eventually result in a very new unity.&#xD;
&#xD;
The energies are dissipating now. The density is leaving. This creates a breaking up or breaking apart of old patterns, old behaviors, and one can at times feel as though they are hanging on by a thread and having one big meltdown. Who is minding the store? Where are the controls? Can anything and everything happen now with no apparent rules or guidelines? This seemingly out of control energy is a manifestations of a higher vibration. It is a manifestation of a new opening and of more expansiveness.&#xD;
&#xD;
The new guidelines and new ways of being are up to us to set into place. Perhaps we are not used to this new freedom...this new absence of controlling or dense energies or in other words having a lid on things. Sudden and complete freedom can cause chaos for sure. Things are wide open now, a new level of expansiveness has been reached, and within this new openness are still existing lower vibrating energies. They are panicking, not sure where to go, and are either holding onto higher vibrating energies (which are many of us, thus, the need for tighter boundaries), or going into self protection mode and forgetting about the whole. And once again, for those of us who are vibrating highly in unity, being around this panicking and self-serving energy can feel downright awful indeed. And remember as well that these panicking energies will abuse and take for granted energies of a considerate, caring, and thoughtful nature. They are very afraid and are forgetting their connection to Source.&#xD;
&#xD;
It is all of this that can make some of us feel like staying home in our personal sanctuaries and never wanting to venture out again! But as always, there is good news as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
Other manifestations? As we begin a new residency in a higher realms reality, any energies which are out of balance or in other words extreme in one direction or another, will naturally attempt to balance themselves. In order to exist here, this will indeed need to occur. So then, we will find ourselves getting clobbered and&#xD;
having very unpleasant experiences in regard to any out of balance energies within ourselves. Behaviors we may have possessed in which we thought were right and good, may not be serving us well now. We are the way we are because we thought that this was the highest and best way to be. We are being shown higher vibrating ways now, and they may not be what we had ever imagined them to be. Learning the right use of caring and helping is one. In times past in a lower vibrating reality, we may have believed that some forms of helping were needed and a higher way of being, but we are now finding that this is simply not the case. Learning the right use of caring and helping is one, but there are many, many more.&#xD;
&#xD;
The energies we are residing in are vibrating much higher now. This is creating much movement within and without, and much chaos. Basically, much is re -aligning and re-adjusting. Many of the experiences we are having are manifestations in the physical world of how we are currently vibrating within ourselves. So whatever strange occurrences we are now having, know that they are only a reflection of what is inside of us, and as we are vibrating so much higher now, these manifestations are arriving very quickly. But these uncomfortable manifestations can also serve as a wonderful tool for adjusting our own vibrations to much healthier and balanced states.&#xD;
&#xD;
One good remedy or saving grace is to simply stay centered and still with no intentional behaviors and no reaching, making things happen, movement, or pushing. We can allow these meltdowns or breaking apart of the old energies to simply occur. This will get much of our old selves out of the way and allow for help to arrive. Yes, help and support. Thus, we can remain still and step back while the fall is occurring.&#xD;
&#xD;
Knowing who we are by connecting to our highest selves, and connecting more strongly to Source are always things to hold onto and this will never change.&#xD;
&#xD;
We need not abandon our ways of loving generously, giving, guiding, and being considerate and respectful. We need only know that much of the whole has not yet caught up with where we are, but when they do, we can then let down and breathe, trust more, lessen our boundaries, and relax.&#xD;
&#xD;
And help, support, unity, and love are right on the horizon. I can tell you this because I am having this experience right now myself, and if you are one who has not experienced this quite yet, you will very soon I am certain. Some of you may have had this experience for awhile now. We are all at different levels and on different timelines, so all is always in divine and perfect order. After the breaking apart begins to lessen, then the new unity and new connections begin to arrive. And it is then that we feel oh so glorious again. There is so much love present here, I cannot begin to tell you. It can make one want to cry a river of joy and gratitude for these new and higher vibrating connections. And there is so much love here! So much love and unity! Having a meltdown, giving up, getting out of the way, and allowing oneself to break apart also allows for help, love, and unity to arrive as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
We are completing a transitional process. The breaking up or dissipating stage is always difficult. But the re-uniting stage is truly awesome indeed. Oh, it is truly awesome indeed! And June will bring in much more of the re-uniting. So for now, we can step back if need be and watch the outside reality fall, stay in our personal sanctuaries with our loved ones, keep up some very tight boundaries, and be ready for creating more of the new when things settle down and re-align a bit more in times to come.&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;What I've been missing is that when we all celebrate together all across the world we are then joined. My dream is to create a world where people feel safe to live their spirit. I realize I spent so much of my life in an imaginary struggle, forgot the part where we take the time to celebrate together hand in hand.&#xD;
&#xD;
Can you imagine? How beautiful it could be if you could reach your hand out and touch and hold the hand of the person that you were struggling with and in that moment the illusion of the struggle could dissolve and you looked in their eyes and all you saw was pure spirit? That's all it really is. We're spirits that in reality are all madly in love with each other, waiting for the moment that we can go back to being one. But we can't do that until the game is played out for every one. &#xD;
&#xD;
We don't wake up until the last us us wakes up.&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The following is from the website "What's Up On Planet Earth?" I posted it as it makes me laugh, there are times that I think that she's actually spying on me as this is echoing my life so closely. I'm glad we're all evolving together, but seriously it's been at least 8 years of not much of a party for me. When do I get to have the real fun? Soon please? I'm ready...clearing the decks for some fun.&#xD;

As more and more is becoming aligned to the higher frequencies we are now being embraced within, much movement is occurring which is creating a barrage of varied manifestations on the planet, within and without.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
At the end of March, just after the equinox, openings arrived and we were able to move forward with much opening up and many miracles abounding. We had most certainly touched a higher place, reached a new shore of a new reality, come to the end of the birth canal, and it felt much like heaven indeed. Then, almost as abruptly as it all began, things suddenly went into a chaotic state, as energies were attempting to re-align themselves with their higher purpose, or best fit for how they were now vibrating.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
This is a very common pattern of the ascension process. We reach a higher state of being, or dimension, it feels awesome in the beginning, and then everything must align itself to this new residency in the higher realms. Thus, all is always in divine and perfect order, even though most of the time many of us may feel that we are in constant transition, a continual state of purging and releasing, and may wonder if we will ever arrive in the heaven on Earth we have always known would arrive one day.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
But the ascension process has several steps which are repeated again and again, and once we become familiar with them, no one would probably ever need to read these energy alerts, as it would be evident what was occurring! These steps are all listed and explained in the book The Ascension Primer, but I will continue providing many of them to you in the book excerpts those of you on the e-mail list receive along with each announcement that a new energy alert has been posted on this web site.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
With the advent of the cross-quarter, the mid-way point between the equinox and solstice on May 5, we once again reached a pivotal point, experienced a shift, and moved forward one more notch.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
This created more room to expand, to move ahead, to open up, and to reach even further into our new land of heaven on Earth.  We had reached a place as a critical mass where we could again move ahead, and the cross-quarter served as the vehicle to assist with this next step ahead.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
May 5th marked a point where more alignments were finally manifesting, and much was embraced and taken along with this wave. The presidential election process here in the US has been manifesting itself in accordance with these re-alignments. This is why Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been neck and neck for so long.  A manifestation was not yet ready to occur, as the new alignments were not yet intact. The old was still in the process of leaving and the new was arriving. And then with the advent of the cross-quarter…..boom! The shift occurred and things began to take their places.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
On May 11th, more new alignments occurred as well. The 11th is many times indicative of an opportunity to move through an opening to a higher vibrating reality. The portal of an 11 is usually an exciting event indeed, depending upon where we currently are and what has been transpiring.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
If you were one who went through this latest portal, you may have experienced vertigo, spinning, or an extreme loss of balance. This is a common occurrence of ascension as well. When we connect more fully with our Merkabah, or light body, we then utilize it to catapult us into the higher realms.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Merkabah is defined as: “The divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. "Mer" means Light. "Ka" means Spirit. "Ba" means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.”&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Thus, it is common to experience spinning, vertigo, and a loss of balance when we are arriving more fully in the higher realms. The first time I had this experience, I began to panic, as I experienced panic attacks when I first began the intense part of the ascension process back in 2001. Feeling as if I was walking a foot or two above the earth, almost floating, used to freak me out as well. But as we become used to these experiences, and know what they are about, it can actually become a fun ride. Late on Saturday evening and into Sunday, when I was barely able to walk a straight line, I could only say “Wheeee! Here we go again!” Now many of these experiences are great fun as I know they are only indicative of a great move forward and I am truly grateful for them.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Natural disasters are becoming an epidemic now. Floods, typhoons, earthquakes, droughts, tornadoes, and fires are arriving in epidemic proportions. The earth must now align with the higher realms, and this is creating much movement within and without. Areas which need the biggest adjustments are experiencing great movement in an attempt to align themselves with a higher vibrating energy.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
During the past several weeks, some of you may have had an experience of great weeping, feeling like you could cry a river, and perhaps wondering why tears seemed to want to appear like a tidal wave or tsunami within you. For no apparent reason, it just seemed like a good cry could not be stopped.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
This phenomenon generally occurs when there is great loss at hand. It generally occurs when a massive planetary purging is due to arrive. At our highest levels, we feel the imminent loss and a great sadness accompanies it. Then, sure enough, a substantial natural disaster arrives and we know the reason for our earlier experience of great weeping.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
For the first few months of 2008, many of us became disillusioned and impatient for our new beginnings and the new world to arrive. During this time, we may have felt stuck with no forward movement and not much going on. I reported many times that we were “waiting” for as many to get on board as possible. Even though some did not want to wait, this was a very necessary part of the process. Yes, it can be hard to wait at times, especially when we ourselves are very ready.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
At our highest soul levels, we wanted to give as much time as possible for everyone and everything to make the necessary changes and adjustments needed, and to more importantly make the choice whether to be on board or not. This was a long process but very necessary, as at our highest levels, we dearly love all our brothers and sisters on the planet and wanted them to be with us and most certainly with all those entering the higher realms.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
And now the time is here. The natural disasters have arrived as a manifestation of the earth aligning with the higher frequencies, the energies have built, the pressure is releasing the old, and a by-product of this greatly moving energy is the creation of a vehicle for  those who chose to depart to do just that.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
There is no judgment here. A sufficient amount of time was intentionally given so that as many as possible could be prepared and could make their choices. There will be other stops at the train station. There will be other opportunities. For those who still are not willing to awaken just yet, they will experience a bigger “thumping” or nudging, and they can then choose again. If the leap can be made, those will stay. Those who feel the leap is too far and not a possibility will now depart. These choices were made at the highest levels of each soul. And some will chose to depart for other reasons as well. They may very simply be done here.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
This phenomenon of choice and differing times of moving forward into the higher realms has created many partings. But it has also created new and much better fitting alignments as well. This is why Phil and I had to part, and why someone new is soon to arrive for me. When we are willing to let go of what is no longer in alignment or what no longer fits us, and if we can know and trust that a new beginning will arrive very soon, this in turn allows us to arrive in the higher realms. And Phil will experience what he is in alignment with as well, all in a beautiful and perfect way.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Letting go, trusting, dis-connecting from what does not feel right anymore, and re-aligning with our higher selves or souls will support us in phenomenal ways in arriving in our heaven on earth.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
These losses, especially relating to the natural disasters, can be overwhelming at times. We may feel shaky and afraid. We may feel traumatized ourselves if we are highly sensitive. It may seem as though we never know what will happen next. But this is the beauty of choice. And there is more to this particular story as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Several weeks ago we experienced a new alignment which related to letting go of over-helping others. It involved taking a very important stance of not going down into a lower vibrating reality where others were residing in order to help them. It involved not being where others were and identifying with them. It involved not pulling others up to where we were without their willingness and true desire to let go and be there. It involved allowing others to make their own choices while allowing ourselves to move ahead into what we were now in alignment with.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
It also involved not having great compassion for others, as this emotion takes us to where others are as we identify with them too much in order to be there with them and understand where they are. According to the dictionary, compassion involves pity and a willingness to commiserate with another. These states of being bring our energy down. Compassion is a word which existed in the old 3D reality. It was born there. It came from an old 3D mind.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
In the higher realms we utilize love instead. When we do visit the lower vibrating reality of suffering in order to assist and serve, we go with the vibration of love….not with compassion. Love serves as our protection from lower vibrating realities. It vibrates extremely high and gives its recipients the best possible outcome. Compassion does not exist in the higher realms as there is no suffering. So then, we utilize love, as that is what we come to know about and to be in the higher realms. And as we begin to evolve into the human angels we will eventually be, we will vibrate love more and more. We need not intentionally send love to another, as this is much to deliberate and contrived. We will naturally be love in itself, as the ascension process produces this state all on its own.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
So then, this stage we experienced involving leaving those behind who pulled us into their reality of suffering was intended to prepare us for what is ahead. This stage of evolutionary progress we experienced a few weeks ago was intended to prepare us for these natural disasters which are now occurring so that we could assist if we chose to, without experiencing the pain of others. We would then be wired to assist and truly make a difference without being affected ourselves, but for brief periods of time as we would then need to return to the higher realms of which we came. And leaving others behind broke a cord that was binding us to the old world, thus enabling us to arrive in the higher realms.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
And here in these higher realms, we are re-connecting more and more to the reality of our dreams.  As the alignments arrive for us more frequently now, we will then experience more and more of our heaven on Earth. As the frequencies of this new world vibrate higher and higher, we naturally experience on the outside more rapidly now, precisely what we are about or vibrating on the inside. The mirror effect is extremely pronounced. Each and every manifestation occurs because of who we are and what we believe and perceive.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
We have been so very anxious to have the energies rev up and to reside in the higher realms, but if we had arrived here any sooner, we would have experienced extremely uncomfortable manifestations for ourselves, as our outside reality would have been indicative of what was inside of us. The uncomfortable purging and releasing we have gone through for the past several years was so very necessary to prepare us for these times. Otherwise, we would have experienced more of a hell on Earth than a heaven on Earth.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
The more we choose to let go of, the more we will experience a higher realms reality. And the more we allow ourselves to be in alignment with our souls or true and authentic selves, while letting go of what no longer feels good to us, the more we will experience heaven on Earth and the easier it will be to arrive in the higher realms as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
As we let go of old patterns, mis-perceptions and beliefs, situations and perhaps even others in our lives, we will surely find ourselves in heaven on Earth. And the mirror effect will allow us to make continual changes as we evolve into the angels on Earth that we intended to be.&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;I go inside to heal, at times this is all too much for me.&#xD;
&#xD;
But from you, my loves, &#xD;
&#xD;
I'm never far, though maybe a day off or two.&#xD;
&#xD;
Love can stand the test of time and is usually only a whisper away.&#xD;
&#xD;
Learned not to interfere with people's lessons, that was my lesson.&#xD;
&#xD;
So much every moment that it leaves me tired and at times bed ridden.&#xD;
&#xD;
Where has my energy gone, that used to let me run up walls and climb to the ceiling?&#xD;
&#xD;
I want it back, as without it I disappear at times.&#xD;
&#xD;
Sometimes a simple phrase doesn't make it all better.&#xD;
&#xD;
Time to bring back the bed-ins.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;I actually woke up today on the 11th day of the Master Cleanse and felt good. Energetic, better than I'd felt in a long time. Still have some fog going on, I'm going to continue with some raw and some herbal detox. It was an experience, you start to get addicted to it. I stopped before my tongue was completely pink. ahh well... I have so much too do. Needed to start eating food again. &#xD;
&#xD;
Tried the organic oj in the morning and that was not cutting it, too sweet. I broke down and went and got some organic lentil soup, it had to be the best lentil soup that I've ever had. Thank YOU, Luscious Lorraine's!! YummmmEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee&#xD;
&#xD;
So taking it easy and regaining my strength, but feeling good!!&#xD;
&#xD;
The cleanse is ON...just because I'm eating, doesn't mean I'm stopping. Asta' dairy and eggs... &#xD;
&#xD;
I am ready for power house energy and health!!!&#xD;
&#xD;
Hope the world is ready for me.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Feeling tired but clearer. Blown away by how much the food could change my vibes, even organic. Looking forward to more clarity and peace in this. Taught two classes last night, it went well. Funny how I thought I needed certain foods.&#xD;
&#xD;
Ah well, just enjoying the journey. Wanting more clarity, to hear more divine guidance. Even as I sit her feeling a bit foggy today, realizing yet one more thing is working it's way out of me. I could even feel old relationships that I hadn't thought of in so long coming out. Like I was cleansing myself of so much from the past. I see how people keep going with this.&#xD;
&#xD;
But really Love is all there is.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;It's going to be this picture minus the ice and cherry. I've been working on purifying so much in my life and now it's time to really take it personal not just to my spirit and mind but right down to my diet. I've been eating "healthy" for the last few years out of necessity and in the last few months have been not doing so well, dairy, white flour, caffeine. Anyhow, I'm feeling it all. My body is screaming out to get rid of this junk. &#xD;
&#xD;
This is hard for me, I love to eat, I love my salads, teas, pizza, this and that. But I've been tired and sluggish and need more energy. My main intention for doing this is to hear from my guides, higher self, and divine guidance more. So I decided to do this Master Cleanse and blog about it. You are welcome to look in on this if you wish and if you feel inspired to join in on the 10 days or more of fun with this please let me know. I'd also love to hear other people's detox experiences. I'm quirky like that. &#xD;
&#xD;
So far I've got 4 friends doing this, the first one is L and she's already 2 days ahead. I start tomorrow and am scared, today is my last day of solid foods for 10 days. I'm going to blog about everyone's experience. &#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;I want to make a monument to this day. It's a day of miracles. &#xD;
&#xD;
A friend felt something he'd never felt before and his miracles are just rolling in.&#xD;
&#xD;
So happy for him and want to shout it from the rooftops! &#xD;
&#xD;
Happy for his family and all the friends blessed to have his LOVE.&#xD;
&#xD;
Miracles do happen and I asked him, "How Good Can You Stand IT?"  I get the feeling that's how Good it's going to get!&#xD;
&#xD;
So I'm asking you, "How good can you stand it?" Think about it...&#xD;
&#xD;
Love and Joy for all the miracles that happened today. &#xD;
&#xD;
I say we can stand it pretty darn GOOD! It's time for a change.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

The Gong therapy is a method of regaining joy and consciousness. This is taking the path of spiritual development through the combination of the Gong’s tones. The sound of the Gong can be used to balance the physical, emotional and spiritual body. This is a wonderful therapy for stress, depression, exhaustion, anger and hostility, feeling of separation and loneliness and all kinds of fear and other ailments connected with lack of balance and harmony in the organism.&#xD;
Ancient mystics were of the opinion that through the original sound of the Gong one can give people the universal life energy. The Gong was used to chase away the fear of death, to strengthen the power of intuition and rejuvenate body cells. According to the eastern tradition Gong sound recreates the loving essence of universal creation. Those who experience Gong’s resonance find the sense of unity which inspires them for deeper relation with their family and society in both individual and universal respect. The goal of a Gong bath is to create personal development as the bath itself results also in spiritualization and inner enlightenment. As a result the quality of life of each participant is improved.&#xD;
-Mojca Morya Malek&#xD;
“The gong is the sound of Creativity itself. One who plays the gong plays the Universe. The gong is a beautiful reinforced vibration. It is like a multitude of strings, as if you played with a million strings. The gong is the only tool with which you can produce this combination of space vibrations.” Yogi Bhajan&#xD;
“ The gong is really an engine of power more than a musical instrument. The energy that comes through the gong is not just a fundamental tone, but all the tones combined to create a wall of sound - rather like a tsunami, a great wave. It is really like a delivering of pranic healing. The universal gong sound is based upon the musical principle that all tones of equal amplitude keep resonating, adding to themselves, to produce cumulative offspring, so to speak. This phenomenon is unique to gongs and replicates exactly what happens in the building of the human physical, mental emotional and spiritual bodies.” Don Conreaux&#xD;
“Gong therapy also relieves stress and has a profound, revitalising effect on the immune and nervous systems. When you bathe in the healing sound of the sacred gong no mind chatter can stand in the way. The wave of total sound is both heard with the ears and felt as a powerful vibration sweeping over and penetrating deeply into the body - cleansing, releasing, healing and harmonising on all levels.” Guru Ram Kaur&lt;/div&gt;</description>

March 21st is supposed to be the Mayan New Year and it looks like there is a huge energy thing happening at about 2:40 - 2:45 am. You'll have to use the links to calculate the exact time for yourself. It's based on UTC and longitude.&#xD;

I'm hoping we'll all be able to tune in and use it for something amazing.&#xD;

Also this movie is very long, but if you stick with it...I found it extremely enlightening.&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;how many others are finding that in this journey celibacy seems to be a major component? is that too personal? guess i'll go chew some celery...you know what they say about frustration? oh well, here's a great piece...of celery! haha&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Would you love enough to be a Valentine?</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/52f7e654-8051-489b-88a8-6b52835d7262/blog/6816410c-1347-4328-85d0-0f4d3547ffa4</link>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;We throw around the words would you be my valentine so easily. Throw love around like it's a cheap sweater found easily. But how many would really be a Valentine? Not that I'm promoting losing your head, wouldn't it be nice to forget yourself for love long enough to lose your head or ego. As legend has it, that's exactly what Valentine did. He loved so much he lost his head for it. &#xD;
&#xD;
Love is never easy, when you walk it out. But in the end it transforms everything. My hope is that the earth lights up as everyone exchanges little offerings of love to each other on this day that most people remember that they are love and can love. &#xD;
&#xD;
Love to you who read these words and those who don't. Don't forget to be a Valentine to someone or something and lose your head for a moment. I promise you, you'll get it back. Inspire yourself to rise above the daily grind and kiss a long ago forgotten value. Blisses on this special day and of course LOVE! Happy Valentines Day, now go lose your head over something or someone or an ideal that you almost forgot.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/52f7e654-8051-489b-88a8-6b52835d7262/blog/e5b71e52-81df-4172-89f3-4482858d5c5e"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/786/eab/786eab3d-2881-4b95-9df3-ecc27ebf18f7.thumb" width="65" height="48" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;This is only a theory but it's something that I've been feeling for a bit, perhaps the last few months starting around December 15th. I feel as if our job as lightworkers has been stepped up to transmuting negativity that's been put into the earth. My feelings are that the earth has been detoxing from our myths and negative energies for quite some time and as we're nearing some of the top layers we're really feeling this.&#xD;
&#xD;
It makes me go into my own detoxification of my past mythologies and negative energies. I wonder if this is why so many have felt exhausted as they transmute more energies. Especially people in large cities that are affected by so many energies and lives and thoughts all around them, it would seem to me to be especially difficult as you deal with your own stuff then to be hit by so many other people's stuff. Especially as an empath. &#xD;
&#xD;
I personally have had strange struggles, attacks, just weird stuff and I've had to each time step back and silently go into myself to ferret out what it is about me that has drawn this energy to me. It's been an interesting journey. I'm feeling more and more tied into mother earth and feeling as if we are going thru this together.&#xD;
&#xD;
I don't know if this will make sense to others...but somehow, I do think there's something there. I've been lax in sending light and have just remembered to start. I almost felt bound for a bit, like I had to regress back to the most negative of emotions and pains. Issues from deep down came up and felt shallow and hollow. &#xD;
&#xD;
My desire is at the end of all this a peaceful resolution and integration of it all. About a week ago, a friend of mine on tribe had posted this article and somehow I think it means something. It was about how for 2 days the solar winds had stopped in 1999 and how the earth's magnetism was changed. http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast13dec99_1.htm&#xD;
&#xD;
For me starting in 1999 I had these profound changes starting me down yet another deeper spiritual path. The pat answers and just taking on faith wasn't working so well. I was time and time again confronted with yet another lesson to lure me into a deeper understanding. It's been relentless. Although, I have to admit my entire life on this earth has been a spiritual journey this was the desert part of it all. Lonely, yet not alone. &#xD;
&#xD;
Strange times are these. Yet, I have to be optimistic and say that this feels like we're working thru something great. I know we don't wake up until we all wake up.&#xD;
&#xD;
I'm just trying to figure it out. &#xD;
&#xD;
In Light.&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;someone needed to laugh around here, and that someone is me. I've just been berated for being one of the stupid asses that runs around believing in love. I happen to think that I'm in great company and will be a Love Fool any day. Funny how history remembers fondly and is changed by the people who professed Love. In this ever changing universe I will stand for Love every time. &#xD;
&#xD;
So to all my Love Fool friends, cheers and let's laugh a new world into being. Loving people is not an easy place to get to, you have to be broken and reduced to your lowest common denominator and then you realize it's the only thing that seems real.&#xD;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;A few quotes from "Your Immortal Reality"&#xD;
by Gary Renard&#xD;
&#xD;
"Faith in the eternal is always justified, for the eternal is forever kind, infinite in its patience and wholly loving. It will accept you wholly, and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself."&#xD;
 &#xD;
 - ACIM A Course in Miracles&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Arten: As you continue this process of experiencing the meaninglessness of the body, looking past it and thinking of people as they really are, which is perfect spirit, you may want to consider this quotation form the Tempest. &#xD;
&#xD;
"Our revels now are ended. These our actors,&#xD;
As I foretold you, were all spirits and&#xD;
Are melted into air, into thin air&#xD;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,&#xD;
The cloud capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,&#xD;
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,&#xD;
Yea, all which it inerit, shall dissolve&#xD;
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,&#xD;
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff&#xD;
As dreams are made of, and our little life&#xD;
Is rounded with a sleep."&#xD;
&#xD;
 - William Shakespeare, The Tempest&#xD;
&#xD;

										&lt;div&gt;Does anyone know what the significance of an owl might be? I have one that keeps hooting outside my house as I'm about to go to sleep. Last night  I sent it away as it was creeping me out. It seemed to follow me thru the house. I know it could mean nothing but it's been going on for about 2 1/2 weeks,  just as I'm going to sleep. I don't know if this is a good thing, a creepy thing or a nothing. &lt;/div&gt;</description>

										&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
I look into my soul and find a new corner to sweep clean each day.&#xD;
&#xD;
I'm tired, or should I say that I'm recharging. &#xD;
&#xD;
Yet, I can't stop this journey, it's a feverish pace.&#xD;
&#xD;
Quantum forgiveness takes on more. &#xD;
&#xD;
I want to lay in bed and not get out, but that's not an option. &#xD;
&#xD;
Like a bear hibernating, yet not resting.&#xD;
&#xD;
So thru these lifetimes I go, undoing karma, redoing the future, changing the past.&#xD;
&#xD;
Clearing energies, healing thyself and it feels like i'm tumbling.&#xD;
&#xD;
A controlled tumble towards my destination of greater Love.&#xD;

It needs to give me a rest soon.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

										&lt;div&gt;Energies leave you spinning as you hold on to what?&#xD;
&#xD;
I find this ride has no safety bar other than faith.&#xD;
&#xD;
Good thing I learned to surrender as it's a constant lesson in this ride.&#xD;
&#xD;
Wild ride spins me around and every day I'm new.&#xD;
&#xD;
Or am I more me and the same?&#xD;
&#xD;
Colors, dimensions swirl and beckon me in. &#xD;
&#xD;
One thing holds me on and seems constant...faith that this is evolving. &#xD;
&#xD;
I know I go deeper, deeper into more Love. &#xD;
&#xD;
Yet, ever expanding and contracting.&#xD;
&#xD;
Anger sparks and then forgiveness and then anger...then joy...then laughter at my silly anger.&#xD;
&#xD;
So I spin again and find myself somewhere else.&#xD;
&#xD;
Keeping up and holding ground has been interesting, I'm on shaky ground and it makes me smile.&#xD;
&#xD;
My love for you, holds me here all the while. &lt;/div&gt;</description>

										&lt;div&gt;to all those who celebrate and whatever you celebrate may it be merry and light. Here's a little gift from me to you...&#xD;
&#xD;
Hope you've all had a wonderful holiday and time and wishing you many blessings and joy along the way. &#xD;
&#xD;
This is something I plan on doing in the New Year and it's a nice gift from Denise Linn to us all. So just to let you all know about it, she's offering a Free 28 Day Soul Coaching Audio program. I respect and love the work she does and hope that if someone reads this and feels as if they can get something out of this they will. &#xD;

Much Love to ALL! &#xD;
