sometimes in life

soulfriend — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:43:28 GMT

Sometimes in life we have to take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. Sometimes when we lose, we must not lose the lesson, but receive the benefits. We must always try and follow: respect for self, respect for other's, and responsibility for all our actions. Never be ashamed to say, "I'm sorry." We must try and remember that by not getting what we want in life is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. We can't always have what we want, but what we need. It has been said, "Learn the rules so we will know how to break them properly." We should never let a little dispute injure a great relationship. When we realize that we have made a mistake, we should take immediate steps to try and correct it. It is a good idea to always try and spend some time alone each and every day to cleanse ourselves. When we can, we should have open arms for change, but don't let go of one's values. We must try and remember that sometimes silence is the best answer. We must try and live a good honorable life, then when we get older and think back, we'll be able to enjoy it a second time. Also, a loving atmosphere in our home should be the foundation for one's life. Sometimes we are not able to achieve all this, and when this happens, then we have no choice but to move on with our lives letting others have their time of growth. In disagreements with love ones, we must always try and deal with the current situation by trying to not bring up the past more than we have to, or not at all. When needed we must try and share our knowledge with others because it's a way to achieve life forever. We must always try and be gentle with the earth if we are to become blessed children of her. Once a year, it does not have to be far, we should try and go somewhere we've never been before. When possible we should remember that the best relationship is one in which our love for each other exceeds our need for each other. Also, we must try and judge our success by what we had to give up in order to get it, or to get it back. We should always try and approach love and cooking with unspeakable thoughts. As food gives nutrition to our bodies, so does love gives nutrition to our soul, so then how can we live without love. It has been said that on earth there is someone for someone somewhere. That someone could be closer than you think. Walk with care so that all things that we walk on will be respected. May we all sleep well and may we all have good dreams of everlasting arms of eternal comfort. May this eternal comfort find us all waiting to receive it with love and with grace. artwork by Kelly Tunstall

The World To Come!!!!

Cultural Creatives Establish New Paradigms Cultural Creatives is a term coined by sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson to describe a large segment in Western society that has recently developed beyond the standard paradigm of Modernists and Traditionalists. It is estimated that there are 50 million adults in the United States and about 80-90 million in Europe who have the worldview, values and lifestyle of the Cultural Creatives. While Cultural Creatives are a subculture, they lack one critical ingredient in their lives: awareness of themselves as an emerging and already strong force in the world society. When this group is fully aware of its size and when they start to connect with each other � the world will change rapidly! Morphogenetic Fields Morphogenetic fields are basically non-physical blueprints that give birth to forms. According to its founder, the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, a morphogenetic field, is an equivalent to an electromagnetic field that carries information only, not energy, and are available throughout time and space without any loss of intensity after they have been created. Morphogenetic fields are created by the patterns of physical forms. They help guide the formation of later similar systems where a newly forming system "tunes into" a previous system by having within it a "seed" that resonates with a similar seed in the earlier form. Morphogenetic fields can be used to describe how the human consciousness is shared. The Morphogenetic fields therefore play the main role in the idea that humanity at one point in time will go thru a dramatic collective shift in consciousness. A shift that will happen when the critical mass for a shift is reached, or in other words, when a certain number of spiritually awakened individuals are reached.

One Minute Each Night

soulfriend — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:28:54 GMT

One minute each night In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , it's people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped! There is now a group of people who are organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying: for peace in the world. If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. [AMEN!] Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Please pass this on to anyone who you think will pray for peace. "To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, and to sing it to them when they have forgotten." ~Anonymous~

The Cosmic Key to the Zodiac -- Virgo: The High Zen Art of Ordinary Life.

soulfriend — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:33:06 GMT

COSMIC WEATHER REPORT: 9:05 AM EASTERN, Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008: The Cosmic Key to the Zodiac -- Virgo: The High Zen Art of Ordinary Life. Putney, Vermont Last fall, the giant planet Saturn entered the earth sign Virgo, where it will stay for the next couple of years, till the summer of 2010. Earth is the most basic element, the remedial element of structure and form, of getting our hands on the living clay of ordinary life, refashioning it into something that really works instead of just pretending to. Basic existence is now the final frontier for radical transformation that can change the world. Virgo is the secret cosmic force of the zodiac, but its magic is little known and hard to find, because it's too earthy and obvious. The Virgin presides over the mundane magic of ordinary life, which, in recent centuries, has become anything but. Common sense has been subsumed by a Junk Culture's mad dash to oblivion. Each day the high magic of the Virgin gets seduced by the Trance of Normalcy which has taken over our culture and twisted our values. How much longer are we willing to put up with this farce before overthrowing the old and ringing in the new? Saturn is the Get-Real planet of astrology, and Virgo, the Get-Real Sign. Every two-and-a-half years Saturn marches through a new sign, stripping that sign's pretense and clutter, paring it down to the bare bones of what the sign's really about. Virgo is all about mastering the basic rudiments of daily life. Ordinary, obvious, overt, easy-to-overlook, high magic resides in the place we least expect it -- in the way we walk, talk, sit, think, eat and breathe. In these mundane areas now, it's time to awaken from the mass trance state that each day passes as normalcy, and find what life's really all about. Ancient Rome, following the earlier lead of Greece, recognized this mundane realm as a distinct high art, which they placed in the hands of the Vestal Virgins -- priestesses of the Home and Hearth, trained in conducting daily life as a way to reflect the greater will of the gods. During the next two years, each of us, in our own way, is summoned to awaken from the Trance of Normalcy, and transform the basic field of daily existence into a high art. We must become virginal to the wonder of ordinary existence, counter the satiated jadedness of skeptical mind with the innocent longing of our heart. If we do, we'll fulfill the revolutionary vision of the last great Virgo period -- the 1960s. How? By following gut-instinct instead of listening to those who say it can't be done. By evicting the the self-cancelling mindset. By daring yourself to believe in that dream that's been dancing just beyond your grasp for so long now. By renouncing the meaninglessness of a life that poisons the soul, and turning instead toward vision that fills the soul with longing, and urges you to exceed your self-assumed limits. Virgo was the key operative sign of the 1960s, because the transcendent planet of revolution, Uranus, met Pluto (the collective unconscious) in Virgo in the autumn of 1965, setting the whole tone for revolution that was to come. Three years later, Jupiter (king of the gods) met Pluto in Virgo, in the autumn of 1968, overthrowing the confines of Normalcy, and pointing the way to a new world, which began to crown through the crust of the old, even if it never emerged fully back then. Virgo was the key to the Sixties because it's the one sign with the power to bring the cosmic blueprint down to earth where it can do some good. When these three planets did their dance in Virgo forty years ago, the blinders were torn off the third eye of our species. Within the slim confines of a few brief illuminated years, our collective consciousness rose above the obsolete delusion of the War Machine to stare clear into the realms of higher purpose. Across the world in a searing flash brought to us by Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto, it became instantaneously evident that the old way of doing things was bogus and bankrupt and killing the soul of the world. We saw with unmistakable commonsense Virgonian insight, that our leaders had sold us down the river, and a whole new way of conceiving our purpose was vitally necessary. Now, as Saturn marches through this same territory, we're each being asked to pick up the threads of that earlier weaving, and reweave normalcy into the High Zen Art of Ordinary Life. There's a way to sit, think, talk, eat, walk and breathe that reflects higher purpose rather than counters it; that brings our deeper awareness into its fuller expression; that aligns Self with Cosmos. There's a way to move through the world as a great dance of spirit-in-motion. Virgo is a tuning fork, a pitch pipe, a modulating note that rings out, for each individual to get with the Galactic Orchestra. Virgo is much more of a How Sign than a What Sign. It's the howiest of all. There's a rhythm, a way, a manner, a mode, a craft to the very raw fabric of existence. By the way we walk our talk we can reclaim ordinary life into a magical dance that bridges cosmic vision with here-and-now. The sidewalks of life are teeming with vast potential that can remake the world. If you put your ear to the ground you'll hear the rumbling of a new species rising from the dust of the old. Cosmos is now very close. The obvious, isn't. We can no longer afford to take life for granted. We must dare ourselves to dream new dreams. Here, on Easter Sunday, and for the next couple of years, we can tap a resurrective power to turn around the nightmare of normalcy. Across the world, our average, everyday, ordinary, working, waking, existence is up for grabs. The soul of the world, sick and tired of lies, is hungry for Truth. We're being revitalized by rhythms that speak to the soul and can uproot the toxic barrier of stuck thinking. Dormant seeds planted in Virgonian soil in the late 1960s are springing a whole new crop in the place we least expect it -- the Monday morningness of life. Astonish yourself. Be willing to be. Who are you really working for? The drones of a dead and dying culture or the Soul of the World? Can you sleep well each night because the life you're living is the one you were born for? Are your muscles and bones aimed at something that serves? Who are you really? What are you here to do? How much longer are you going to wait? Forward!

Awakening Signs

soulfriend — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 03:30:50 GMT

Awakening Signs "Twelve Signs of Your Awakening Divinity" “Shaumbra” means Family and Deep Inner Friendship By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level as the "Christ seed" awakens within. This too shall pass. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It's good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don't worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You're in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energy without the karmic attachments. Unusual sleep patterns. It's likely that you'll awaken many nights between 2:00 and 4:00 AM. There's a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can't go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogiemen. This too shall pass. Physical disorientation. At times you'll feel very ungrounded. You'll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can't put two feet on the ground, or that you're walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass. Increased "self talk." You'll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You'll suddenly realize you've been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you're experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You're not going crazy, you're just Shaumbra moving into the new energy. Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra, you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own Christ consciousness. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That's OK, and it's just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don't fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don't want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrance of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you've come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you're walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone. Geoffrey Hoppe Channeler for Tobias Go to Channel Library Copyright 2006 by Geoffrey Hoppe, Golden, CO.

from whence do they come? tears glimmering in the darkness of the light light that reflects the flow of unanswered prayers yet... is it the answer that creates the tears? mind cannot grasp the glory of the soul free to feel and fly in the face of precieved loss. dreams continue to dance from the ears of roses lilies call to the senses and demand attention from the iris. hearing the call of beauty we challenge grace. throw down the glove duel to the death! hearing the challenge heart stretches to enfold mind within its loose grasp. mind wrestles compassion suffocating death seems mearly a thought a breath inches from the moment at hand. stillness truth all is well what seems like deaths door is often the entrance to gods heart. so vast we mistake it for emptiness so full of love we feel the heat might push us over the edge. life breathes at its own pace love is equnimity alas mind stills to enjoy the warmth. -blessings s 11/2/07

silent fear?

soulfriend — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 21:07:33 GMT

not sure what i am reaching out for with this post...yet i seem to be so here goes. i am hearing i need silence. in order to hear. god, nature, my soul????? what i do not know. yet i know i need silence. i love to talk. i am good at it. it is who i am in many respects. it is part of my magick and medicine i share and reflect for others in my healing work/practice. and it is clear to me at this moment i am in need of silence. so where to go, how to create it? i thought of brittenbush, or an abby, and seem to be lead toward vipassana. something about meditation for ten days straight with no speaking is not an easy decision for me to make. yet. the universe seems to be lining me up with it. my walk in the woods yesterday was loud. my mind seem to be talking non stop. is this new? is it because i am about to be quite? is it the norm? i am craving stillness yet it frightens me. i am craving a deeper union with spirt yet perhaps this is the real fear behind being still. not sure i can sit still that long. i like to move, even in silence. have any of you found a place for silence other than the vipassana retreat? have any of you experienced the vipassana ten day retreat? would you feel to share your insights with me? in gratitude. soulfriend

10 year old blues

soulfriend — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 19:09:56 GMT

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees. "I don't want to know," the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me." Confused, the father asked what was wrong. The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech. At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech. When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech. If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

gone fishin - baja calls me home again

soulfriend — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:46:17 GMT

hola mi bonito amigos- i'm off for baja again....go figure, i just got home and as soon as i set foot in the states i knew i was turning around and heading back again. seems my soul wants me to go to todos santos for some reason. i knew it while i was packing the first time, kept hearing it while i was there (got side tracked), and got a strong message when i made it back home. how often do i choose to side step a inner calling during my day? sometimes following my souls directions can feel a little, no scratch that, downright confusing. i have learned enough through trial and error (ouch those errors can hurt) that it is best to follow the inner voice. right now my inner voice seems to be clearing out my life. having me step out of all that is familiar, letting go of all plans, family, friends and activities and in this particular moment languages. (as i don't speak spanish and i know nothing of baja.) as i watch my heart and mind learn to work together at this new level/place/time, i know within myself that there is a place of trust and faith that is being stretched beyond it's norm. called to live my life in a deeper way and to put into practice that which i inately know to be truth. (most of which is invisible to the default world in which my body travels.) the truth that all is well - i am always taken care of - everything in ask for and need or desire comes to me as i ask and allow and open to it - i know all this and at the same time it still can feel a bit frightening/off/uncomfortable to let go completely of the familiar. each of us has our lessons to learn in these lovely earth suits that we chose to prance around in and as i go deeper into one of mine i send my love and support to all of my tribe. may we each find the support and guidance we call for and ?need? in each moment as we walk our inner path to our hearts. blessings to you as you strive to be the fullest most beautiful rendering of your soul. love s ps any beautiful experiences in baja you'd care to share? i'd love to hear about your favorite beach, camping, eatery, or soul-full-filled trip.

The physical shift: Treat each other with respect, nurture one another and play well together.

soulfriend — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 05:51:04 GMT

Greetings from Home The Rewire Will Activate Sacred Contracts We tell you that the energy of Home is here now. You have summoned it here to be around you every step of the way. It is yours because you set your intent for it to happen and now it is yours this day. Most of you still have difficulties seeing yourself living in your passion and doing something that you love to do each day. But we tell you that in most cases you already have a part of it in your lives right now. Sometimes it is what you do for a living or maybe just a part of what you do each day. Sometimes it is something that you get to do once in a while. Whatever it is that defines your passion, that is the part that will define your sacred contract and that is here right now. That is the part that you came here to do--that is your unique contract. No one else can do that contract the same way that you can. That is your unique way of bringing Heaven and the vibrations of Home to Earth for you to walk in every day. The magic is yours. We have spoken of the great rewiring taking place with all of humanity right now. You can only imagine the excitement on this side of the veil. It is greater than you will ever know. You believe that you are humans walking around trying to figure out what you will do for a living and how you will find a connection and how you will find love, for you believe that those things will define you. In reality, dear ones, you could not fail if you tried because there is so much energy around every moment of every day. It is incredible to see from our perspective how you gather all the energy of who you are from the many dimensions in which you exist; it all comes together at your beckoning the moment you smile, the moment you bring that energy from Home and the moment you carry the soul confidence that is rightfully yours. That is how you bring Heaven to Earth. Woo-Woo Science Leads the Way Many of you are leaders, teachers and healers…and we are going to speak to those this day. All of humanity is going through a drastic change. That change is not something that is limited to these rooms. Nor is it limited to a vibrational level or a label such as ‘metaphysical.’ It is affecting all of Earth. We think that it is humorous that you will bring forth information ahead of the game in the metaphysical arena or in something that is “out there” like channeling. It is what the Keeper calls “woo-woo science”. He is now very proud to be woo-woo. Yet it does not change the fact that because valuable information often comes in those areas it is often discarded due to the misunderstood nature of divine guidance. But only a short time later it appears in the scientific magazines as a new theory that explains the unexplainable. Keep in mind that humans fear the unknown, and because the source of the information is unsubstantiated by human sciences it is discarded by the majority of humans until it is re-introduced by a “substantiated” source. That fear-based pattern is beginning to change as the evolution of humanity unfolds. We also tell you that soon science will begin to grasp that which many of you have learned to trust in your own hearts. Science will soon reveal that all of humanity is in an unprecedented spiral of human evolution, and furthermore it will reveal that human biology is changing right now. You are shifting at an astounding rate. Due to the rewiring process, humanity is evolving on a biological level that was not even expected. Moving the Camera of Life for the Best View You think of us as angels in Heaven having this great dimensional attribute. It is as if we wear some sort of badge that somehow makes us better than you. That is not the case, dear ones, as we are all equal and in fact we are all actually a part of each other. Imagine our side of the veil when you were all Home and all a part of us when the game of free choice began. It was decided that the Game would begin and you said, “OK, we are going to take this game to the year 2000 and we will have a closure right about here to give finality to it.” You are finite beings, so it was necessary for you to have a closure. Then you went in and played the game. Can you imagine the excitement on our side of the veil when Earth passed that final date? You passed the exit point of planet Earth. That creates some wonderful possibilities for you as well as some difficulties. We are going to speak of both now, because they are actually the same events. They are simply seen from different points of perception. We tell you that there are three cameras here in this studio. [They pointed to the three cameras sending out the VirtualLight broadcast.] And if you ever wish to change your reality, all you have to do is to change cameras. When you change the angle from which you view something, you change the way it appears to you and therefore you change your reality. Most humans are not aware of that; you are so accustomed to placing your camera in one spot and never moving it again. But we tell you, it does move. If at any point you are not happy with the reality you have created in your life or in any form, all that you need to do is to pick your camera up and move it to a better angle from which to view life; it alters your perception. Change your perception and you change your reality that fast [snapping fingers]. And now it is more possible than ever before, and we ask you to begin playing with this, as you are the leaders. Disciples of the Light You are the ones who have chosen to go through many of these external changes in your being in order to open the door for other people. You are the ones we call the disciples of the Light. You are the ones who have specifically chosen to be here at the forefront of the change. And even though you may never get credit for your real work, and you may get labeled as woo-woo, you are the ones who have chosen to hold the light and the energy for all of the rest. So if you can imagine a dark room where everyone is trying to find the door out, you are the one holding the flashlight. It is not that you show people how to do things or tell people what to do or which way to turn; it is that you can show others their options. That is what we do on this side of the veil. That is why we call this an OverLight process. We no longer come into your world to intercede in your game in the old forms of angelic intervention to show you the ‘right’ way or the ‘wrong’ way. The whole illusion of polarity of right and wrong and good and bad, love and fear, black and white and up and down are all illusions anyway and you no longer need those illusions. There is no black or white; they are all shades of grey. You now define your own perception and reality, and if at any point you are not happy with it, please have the courage to change the camera angle from which you view it. Physical Changes Ahead We wish to speak today about human biology in this shift, because biology is changing rapidly and that will have a wide variety of effects on all of humanity. We have spoken of the rewire process and the fact that if that process is interrupted it can have an effect on the body with energy disconnections. This has been labeled by your sciences as Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia; we simply call them energy disorders. The energetic wiring of your human brain is changing right now. The way the synaptic pathways communicate in the human brain is changing. It may be years before medical science validates that this is happening, partly because they knew very little about the manner in which they communicated before the change began. Even so, here in the woo-woo world we will say it now. Humanity is evolving right before your changing eyes. That change is beautiful and yet, it will cause challenges for humans. Sleeplessness and Sleep Changes: You will see more people with sleeplessness, with changes in sleep patterns and the use of sleep time, than ever before on this planet. Why is that? And why does that have to be a part of the change? It does not have to be a part of the change, dear ones. We also remind you to hold your own power at this juncture and do not listen to every word we say. Do not think that you must have problems with sleep to be one of the chosen ones. Dear ones, you ARE CHOSEN. You are here, you are sitting in these seats, you are watching this program, you are reading these words and you have chosen to be harbingers of the Light. You are the ones who will take this to the next level whether you have sleep problems or whether you help your neighbor with theirs. Much of this is because you are becoming multidimensional and you are starting to experience other dimensions of time and space. Due to that, your own understanding of dimensional reality will change. One of the biggest dimensional shifts humans experience is the dimension you call sleep. In fact, many of you who do not consider yourselves to be healers will find that you may wake up exhausted rather than rested. If you are not doing the work of your heart in your waking hours, then when you go to sleep a little bell goes off in another dimension and it signals that “the doctor is now in.” You then start healing with the long line of people that awaits you and you wake up the next morning and cannot figure out why you are exhausted. You will also find that many people will begin to wake at odd hours more than ever before. It may be years before medical science collects enough data to prove this out, but watch for it now, for you are the ones who have dedicated yourselves to helping people make this shift. That means shining your light, for that makes the fear go away. You are the disciples of the Light. We have spoken before of the 3am club where people begin to awaken at 3am. This is actually the beginning of a normal sleep pattern that you will experience in the future. We call it the triad of sleep, where you will generally sleep for three hours, wake for two and then return to sleep for three more hours. This gives people two hours of wakefulness that they do not know what to do with. These two hours are very special, as you are in an enhanced state of creation during these hours. In fact, you are in an altered dimensional state during these two hours. Now the time lag is gone anyway, but during these two hours, what you hold in your thoughts will become your reality very quickly. During that special time, allow yourself to hold only those thoughts that add to you in some way. You have no control over the thoughts that enter your mind. You do have complete control over which thoughts you allow to stay in your brain. Do not worry about keeping all negative thoughts from your mind. Let them go through, as they are a needed part of your human experience. Just know that they can travel through your mind without attaching, and choose to hold and keep only the thoughts that add to you in some way—and do not judge yourself for having difficult or negative thoughts. Exercise that control during these two hours of creating. The New 3am Club Understand that during the rewiring process these times and hours may change a lot as the 3am club becomes the 4:45am club and then back again over the adjustment period of the next fifty years. In the days ahead there will be people waking at all hours trying to understand what is happening and thinking that something is “wrong.” That thought alone can create much difficulty on planet Earth. This is a normal process of human evolution. Vivid and Negative Dreams: You will also have very vivid and sometimes negative dreams. Some of you will awaken with nightmares. This is a natural balancing process that balances your energy. Many of you spend your entire day dancing in positive energy, ignoring what we call the dark side. There is a beautiful dark side to each of you. In that case you may have an energy-balancing dream where you have a very vivid negative dream which will simply help to balance your energy. The majority of time you will not remember these dreams but will awaken with a shaken-up feeling. Sometimes you will remember them and they may shake you. As the rewiring continues, these dreams will become very special experiences. So if you are having them, rather than questioning what is wrong, just smile and know that it means you are experiencing enough positive energy to need balancing in the first place. This balancing has been happening since the beginning of the game; yet, with this rewiring of humanity going on, these occurrences may grow more frequent and more dramatic. Headaches and Dizziness: As this rewiring takes place many people will experience unexplained headaches or dizziness that they never had before. As your brain starts to rewire itself you will experience symptoms in the head that are new to you. Please know that this is a normal state of evolution and there is nothing to fear. We ask you always to release your fears with physical symptoms. Never hold them back or try to deny them, as that makes them grow as they attract all sorts of energy. If you wish to be masters of your own thoughts then fill in the vacuum. Go see a doctor if you are worried in any way. If the sciences deny valuable information by not honoring divine guidance and intuition, please do not make the same mistake and not go to a doctor just because they are not metaphysical. Use and honor all flavors of the truth and then choose the best camera angle that is presented with all of them. Blend the physical and the metaphysical sciences, for that is where the real magic lies. If the doctor comes back and says that he or she cannot find anything wrong then you will know that it is the evolutionary path that we speak of. Then you can enjoy the journey without the fear. Respiratory System Changes and Challenges: We will also mention that many people will have uncommon or unexplained respiratory system changes and challenges. Over the next five years this will be huge on this planet. Medical sciences have no real way of assimilating or collecting data on undiagnosed illnesses. There is no real way to collect this data until there is a name with which you can label a set of symptoms. At times humans have even made up diseases so that they can categorize symptoms and changes in humanity. In fact, this was the origin of the disorders you call ADD and ADHD. These symptoms brought in with the Indigo children have been on Earth for a rather long time, yet now that you have names and labels for them you see huge increases in the disease. We tell you that this will also happen with the respiratory challenges that will soon face the majority of humanity. Your relationship to your breath will change. As these changes happen within the physiology many of you will see these as difficulties and vulnerabilities, as allergies, as colds, but as allergies and colds that do not follow a normal path. Again, know that this, too, shall pass and you will be perfectly alright. It is an evolutionary process that will calm down when your new wiring is adapted in the physical form. Do not think that you have done something wrong just because you have a cold. Just know that it is part of your rewiring process and allow the evolution to proceed with joy and Kleenex. Enjoy the ride… and if you have to spend a day in bed then enjoy the day in bed. Most of you will find that as the rewiring progresses, your patterns will change as the rewiring is assimilated. Also understand that not all of these changes will produce negative results. It could be that you have always had allergies during the summer months and suddenly they cease to bother you. Not all will be negative; some will be positive. Also, know that from our side of the veil we do not see a difference in these. To us they are simply changes. Multidimensionality and Autism: We have said many times that as you evolve and some of these events begin to unfold, one of the big pieces that will take place for you is a new understanding of multidimensionality. You are becoming multidimensional beings, and some of the disorders that humans have categorized around that will be understood. One of these in particular is Autism. We have defined autism as a multidimensional person who lives with one foot in two worlds. Most of the time the autistic child cannot find their way back to the world in which you know them to be autistic. In fact, they may exist more in the other world than they do in the one you call your daily life. That is a very frustrating experience for a soul to have. Yet, much can be accomplished through this. So even though it is not an illness or anything that is “wrong,” much of what you can learn through the beauty of autism is that there is a huge gift in learning multidimensionality. The biggest challenge that a person with autism experiences is the frustration and eventually anger that he or she feels. They have so much information coming in that they cannot fully interpret it. Those of you who are not autistic have filters in place that allow you to only see and experience the information and vibrations within your own reality. Autistic people have these filters removed, and they have a difficult time assimilating all of the information to be able to see things they same way you see them. We also tell you that this is beginning to change. Due to your own dimensional shift and opening to multidimensionality with the rewiring process now underway you will begin to find transformational tools, what we call translation tools, that will help you translate communications to people in other dimensions. This will finally unlock much of the mystery of the condition of autism. Watch for this. Again, the tools will be labeled differently from how we just described, as they will come from non-woo-woo sciences, but new tools for understanding autism are on the horizon. Some of these tools have even been here for a long time, yet they have not been understood as of yet…like the person who works with autistic children who wears a crystal every day because he knows that the child cannot talk to him but can talk to the crystal. The autistic child can talk through the crystal because it is a translation device. They can speak to the crystal because the crystal can be used as a translation device because it exists in multiple dimensions itself, and can therefore reach fully into their dimension as well as yours. Please know that not all crystals can be used to reach autistic children, but ones of the correct vibration have been used for this purpose. This is similar to the fact that most autistic children can communicate with some animals and particularly with those we know to be multidimensional, such as dolphins. It is not possible to have a pet dolphin in your home so that you can communicate with an autistic child, but understand that there are translation devices that already exist and have for some time. This will now start to happen with other forms as well. Some will be objects and some will be living, multidimensional forms of life. Some will be the new biology, and we tell you that there will be gifted children who will come along very soon who will help to translate and understand the gift of autism. When these children begin to evolve do not fear them. Know how they are and know that the gifts they carry are to be carried by all humans as the evolution continues. See them for the possibilities that they hold. You are the disciples of the Light. You are the holders of the flashlight, dear ones, and when people fall into fear with the changes ahead, you are the ones who can make a difference. This is the enactment of your sacred contract. All humanity is going through a rewiring process at this time on Earth. The human animal is shifting into higher vibrations. It is also no secret to say that is one point that will cause fear on your planet. Very simply, humans are afraid of change. That is why you are here, dear ones. That is what will call you into action, for you are the disciples of the Light. You understand. You have dedicated yourself to holding the flashlight for the highest outcome without trying to point the exact way or to tell anyone which way to turn or what to do; you just shine that light so that all may see. That is the greatest sacred contract for many of you and it is here this day. Digestive System, Gastrointestinal Tract: The last physical issue we wish to address is that there are major changes in the digestive tracts of humans as the changes to biology begin. Please know that humans only see things when they are negative and they become problems. That is why the news is almost always negative in nature. No one would watch if you had a “good news” channel. It is simply human nature. Just know that although most of these changes will be brought to your attention in the negative, they are happening in the positive as well. Changes to the human digestive tracts will cause a wide variety of symptoms in the near future. Know that if you are experiencing these, that even though you may be having difficulties, you also may be one of the first to take a higher vibrational physical body. Be patient and don’t forget to breathe; this, too, shall pass. Emotions: With all of the physical changes taking place the emotions are all over the board, dear ones. There will be depression on this planet like never before and there will be many who go inward with the creative energy rather than outward. We tell you that repression of energy is the greatest problem you have on this planet. You are god and repressing any part of that will create problems in the physical and emotional bodies. It always has, and yet now humans will be even more sensitive to that than ever before. You can personally make a difference there. Take that as a call, dear ones.–a call to action, for that is where you can make a difference first. Help people to move that creative energy outward rather than inward. You are here to shine your light. And whether that is working with your next door neighbor or teaching thousands of people is up to you. We will never tell you which way to turn, but we can say that you hold the key and you are a disciple of the Light. You have dedicated yourself to the study and use of Light for many lifetimes and that is why we call you the disciples of the Light. You are the ones who can help people to pick up their camera and find the best angle. You are the New Family of Light and you came in with the greatest hope that humanity would make it to the point that it is right now. You are being called to action. There will be no more closet Lightworkers. We now leave you with three simple reminders: Treat each other with respect, nurture one another and play well together. Espavo The group

as we let go and go gratitude ~ our world shifts

soulfriend — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:06:10 GMT

Greetings and Glad tidings ~ As we celebrate our first anniversary, it is with great honor and deep pleasure we are connecting with you! In just over a year's time, we have grown from a two-person crew to a worldwide family of Gratitude. Congratulations and thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! Thank you for helping make this vision a reality - for supporting our role in the collective shift happyning right now! We'd also like to thank our many partners who have aligned with us, enhancing our ability to fully commit ourselves as stewards of Go Gratitude. To say thanks, we've created a special link and invite you to explore and enjoy a unique collection of gifts, services, resources and more our partners have to share: www.GoGratitude.com/resources/Gifts-of-Gratitude.html As we continue to co-create a worldwide wave of Gratitude, returning ripples have created abundant opportunities to grow beyond our imagined selves and live in our bliss - our glory, our Divine-ness. You see, by simply being true to inner whisperings and heart promptings we have stepped into a (k)new life - and the same is true for many of you, too! Whohooooooooooo! Of course ... Along with the (k)new comes an ending, too. Collectively, we are witnessing great changes in our homes and homelands. We are seeing the end of dominance in favor of agreement, greed in favor of abundance, and illusion in favor of illumination. Dis-empowering organizations are crumbling to make way for emerging social networks born of Love, trust, wisdom and will. Yes! It's true ... when one chooses to see through the eyes of Gratitude. Now, emergence - choice as change in action - requires strength of purpose, clarity of intent, and discipline of will. Each requires us first to go within, to know our skills, boundaries, beliefs, interest, gift and commitment. As each of us begins to accept our Essential Selves, call on our gifts, and live our fullest potential ~ as we let go and Go Gratitude ~ our world shifts. What an awesome thing to consider - whether we are witnessing the dissolution of the old, or the emergence of the knew, we will always be able to find Gratitude! It's everywhere! You might relate when I tell you that each of us here, the ground crew of Go Gratitude, have been inspired on a daily basis to explore ourselves, to seek deeply in order to be fully aligned with our mission, to be true to our calling. We've had all sorts of offers, invitations, propositions and initiations. Of course, we are using the Master Key, opening all doors of possibility! Without strength, clarity, or discipline it might be easy to be distracted. Without purpose, intent, and will our stewardship is weak and without merit. In truth, we've experienced a good deal of suffering at times - struggling to discern "The Way", or return to center when our ignorance reigned. So, our suffering is really a matter of ignorance and ignorance is simply forgetting to go within, yes? That's simply it, and yet ... how easy is it to forget?!?! Consider this: By embodying the patterns of creation, present all ways and always, we now have a physical signal to shift our perspective to then look within and find our truth, guidance, peace and pleasure. Thus, recognition as inner remembrance, is one of many gifts of Gratitude. Once intimately familiar with how to shift, a (k)new operating pattern is created and it becomes first nature to begin within. So even those times when the ego-ic mind forgets, our knew patterns (and symbols, too!) urge us to Go Gratitude! Beloved family, it is our Divine pleasure to be here with you ~ Evolutionary partners witnessing the mystery unfold, as our collective consciousness raises to a state of Love through the grace of Gratitude! What a magnificent gift we have given to ourselves. Thank YOU! Thank you for your participation in this grande experiment. Thank you for your on-going support ... for the letters and emails sharing insight, wisdom and experience that help us all remember 'The Way'. Thank you for proving that each person makes a difference ... and that person is YOU! in Love and Gratitude, Stacey Robyn and the ground crew of Go Gratitude p.s. For those who've completed the 42 day series and are ready to Go again ... just visit our Gifts of Gratitude section to sign up a-knew! www.GoGratitude.com/resources/Gifts-of-Gratitude.html

the dance

soulfriend — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 11:44:46 GMT

unchaining the ties that bind us to past pain. freedom reigns in places unseen by the human eyes, yet felt with the open heart. cries calling out for freedoms swift arms of truth and justice to smile upon our lives. do we dare step into the spot light of honesty? can one speak eloquently enough to he heard past the veil of years, even generations of lies? lines of defense, barricades of protection, surrounding the mind, the heart, the touch of a human hand. hands that god meant as gifts for pleasure, sweet sensations of soft textures, used instead to banish the living from grace. pushing others out of our gardens, the apples half eaten lie in wait for the vultures to pick apart from the inside-out. outside-in we must peal away the egos tight grasp. soothing each layer as we gently rip open the vortex's, revealing gods luminescent rainbow light. so bright as it radiates from our beings, often causing others to shield their eyes and again the dance begins - hands, arms, words, pushing, shoving, the soft textures of mercy and grace out of the garden. the apple shrinking, smaller and smaller as the life fades into another dimension. time plays a part, in lessons longed for, generation to generation. let me be the bridge. peace. -soulfriend, april 16 2006

The only reality is truth. The only truth is love.

soulfriend — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 19:41:34 GMT

A cosmic trigger event is occurring on the 17th of October 2006 ========================= = This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will remain approximately within this UV beam for 17 hours of your time. This beam resonates with the heart chakra, it is radiant fluorescent in nature, blue/magenta in color. Although it resonates in this frequency band, it is above the color frequency spectrum of your universe-1 which you, Earth articulate in. However due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands it will have an effect. The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one million-fold. Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one millions time and more. Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength. What does this mean ? Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would. For those that do not comprehend. Your thoughts, what you focus on create your reality. This UV beam thus can be a dangerous tool. For if you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be. Mission-1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame. To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle. All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitude be focused on. This UV beam comes into full affect for 17 hrs on the 17th of October 2006. No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17 am on the 17th of October to 1:17 am on the 18th October. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10 pm) on the 17th October. You do not need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 pm). Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves. Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive thoughts of loving nature. We call this UV beam trigger event, "818" gateway. Please forward this message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger event to focus positive, good willed thoughts. We require approximately 1-million people across globe to actively participate in this event. Please use whatever communication mediums you have at your disposal. Reach out to as many people as possible. We require 1-million plus people at the least to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to one of unification and oneness. This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours i.e. Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind. This is a gift, a life line from your universe so to speak, an answer to your prayers. What you do with it and whether or not you choose to participate is your choice. The only reality is truth. The only truth is love.

Changes

soulfriend — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 16:25:07 GMT

Working with myself over change. noticing the slight emotions that come with the tribe shifts. any shifts i suppose. the corporate chat that tells us what we should pick up out of the change. the momentary sadness? over noticing small photos - lack of color-images that make the life of each of us jump off the pages. ( "i want a pony!" ) the "tribe is dead"... to this there is some truth - the default world has pressed harder on our "bubble" i do in some moments miss the primal openness with which seems to have shed its saunter for a more careful approach to sharing. (friends-only) yet, at the same time it inspires me to see more clearly - that i want to live to my brightest-biggest-fullest-bare naked, bone clear truth in this world. I hope to see your faces in larger pixels soon. perhaps others feel the same about the swaths of energy that we each express throught these flat, smooth, light textured boxes....or perhaps i'll just have to come visit you. spin some fire, read a poem, hug, laugh, cry and dance under the full moon. peace to my tribe-mates for death is an illusion and love creates all soulfriend

who comes up with this stuff?

soulfriend — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 10:02:20 GMT

joao de deus and bugion

soulfriend — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 23:31:39 GMT

this is a journal entry form bugion that i felt to share with his permission of course. joao de deus is an amazing healer. Portland, Oregon Thursday, December 29, 2005 I used to be a skeptic. Always open to new ideas and concepts, but a skeptic all the same. You had to prove it to me. Not any more. Whatever skepticism was left in me was blown away by my recent experiences with Joao de Deus. In November, I traveled to Abadiania, a small village in Central Brazil, to visit Joao de Deus, John of God. Joao is an entity healer, a faith healer, and a psychic surgeon. I have wanted to write about my experience with Joao since I left Abadiania, but frankly, I didn’t know where to start. La Casa de Dom Inacio, is the house that Joao built. It is where medical miracles have become an everyday occurrence. The Casa, as it is fondly referred to, is an unassuming collection of concrete buildings. They are painted white inside and out with a light blue stripe extending from the floor to about 40 inches up the walls. Every morning and afternoon, from Wednesday through Friday, the hopeful assemble in Joao’s waiting room. Some are seeking miracle cures for conditions that can’t be cured by modern medical science, some for more minor conditions, and yet others for spiritual purposes. Many are critically ill or suffering from terminal conditions. They are young and old, married couples, singles, grown children with aged parents, and parents with child in arms. They have come from all over Brazil and the world. Half a dozen languages can be heard, whispered throughout the room. All are dressed in white, and all have hope, yet there is an undercurrent of quiet desperation. You can see it in the eyes of those assembled, especially in those of the parents who have brought their seriously ill, young children to see Joao, The Miracle Man. Joao is a medium, and for two sessions a day, three days a week, he incorporates one or more of the thirty-three spiritual entities that work through him. As he incorporates and the entity enters his body, you can see a change in his demeanor, in the way that he carries himself, and even in the color of his eyes. Each entity has a distinct personality and mannerisms. Joao will see and treat several hundred to several thousand people per day. As the hopeful file past the incorporated Joao with their medical and spiritual requests, the entity will assign a treatment. For some it will be an herbal regimen, or crystal baths, or meditation in the Current Rooms. For others, it will be a surgical operation. There are two types of surgery performed at The Casa, invisible, and visible. Invisible surgery is performed by the entities entering the physical body of the patient and surgically repairing whatever is wrong. Once the entity is in the patient’s body, it can and will perform up to nine operations at a time, sometimes surgically repairing more than the patient requested. Besides the entity incorporated by Joao, there can be many entities working in the surgery room at the same time. Operations on hundreds of people can be performed simultaneously, and within minutes. Visible surgeries are more complex, and are personally performed by the incorporated Joao. During these surgeries, Joao actually takes blade to flesh, sometimes a scalpel, sometimes a kitchen knife, and sometimes an 8” long hemostat. His surgical tools are not sterilized; there are no latex gloves, and no sterile fields, yet there has not been a single case of sepsis or infection reported by any of his patients. There is no anesthesia, yet there is no pain. The incisions bleed very little, and when he is done, the incisions are stitched up with a common household needle and thread. During the surgery, the incorporated entity is in total control. Sometimes, Joao is not even looking at what he is doing, hands making incisions or probing inside the patient’s body as the physical Joao looks around or stares off into space. Each patient between the ages of 18 and 52 can choose the type of surgery that they will have. For those younger or older, visible surgery is not an option. When the surgery is completed, the patient is sent off to the recovery room until the psychic anesthesia wears off. While there, post-surgical instructions are given, including dietary restrictions, no exercise, no alcohol, no body or energy work, and no sex for 40 days. The patient is also informed that in the early morning hours of the fifth day following surgery, the entities will come to remove the stitches. Herbs are then prescribed, and the patient is sent back to his or her hotel for 24 hours of bed rest. My request of the entities was that they do some work on my left leg to alleviate a condition of persistent swelling caused by an earlier severe infection. I also asked them to help strengthen my lower back, which has been causing me problems for years. I was directed to the operating room for an invisible surgery. It was Black Madonna Day, a Brazilian national holiday, and there were several thousand people at The Casa. It was standing room only in the operating room and I was standing. I found a place against a wall, closed my eyes, and waited for something to happen. I stood there for a little more than fifteen minutes, and the only thing that I noticed was that my lower back became extremely weak and painful. Usually, my back doesn’t bother me while I’m standing for short periods of time. Then, we were informed that the surgeries were complete, and we were directed into the recovery room and given the post surgical instructions. We were also told to take a taxi back to our hotels. No way, I thought, I don’t need a taxi, my hotel is only two blocks away. As I headed for the gate, I realized that I was feeling extremely light headed and dizzy, and I was having trouble walking a straight line. It felt like I had very recently been under anesthesia. I stumbled to a taxi, and then into my hotel. As soon as I hit the bed, I was out until late afternoon. For the next 24 hours, I did nothing but sleep, with short periods of reading or listening to music. At the end of the 24-hour period, I got out of bed with the intention of walking down the street to the café. I needed food. As I left the hotel, I realized that I was very unsteady on my feet, very weak, and had almost no endurance. It definitely felt like I was post-surgical. I barely made it to the café, and settled in to eat, read, and converse with those around me. During the next four days, I spent 2 sessions a day meditating in one of Joao’s two Current Rooms. The sessions lasted for 2-3 hours each. During those meditations I experienced some very intense visions. The job of the people sitting in meditation in the outer Current Room is to scrub negative energy off of people as they walk through on their way to see Joao and the entities. The inner “Entity Room” functions as a psychic battery for the entities. On the night of the fifth day after surgery, I dressed in white and got in bed before midnight, as instructed. The entities were coming to remove my stitches. I awoke about 4:00 am. Both of my arms were stretched out over my head and felt like they were being held down. Both of my feet felt similarly restrained and it felt like there was a pair of hands rummaging around in my guts near the site of an older, previous surgical incision. The sensation was decidedly uncomfortable. Then, suddenly it was over and I drifted back to sleep. The following day, I went back before Joao to have my surgery checked out. It was decided that I needed a surgical revision, and I was directed back to the operating room. Once in the room, I was directed to a chair. As soon as I sat down, a searing pain started to shoot up and down through my lower left leg from knee to ankle. This pain continued for about five minutes. Suddenly, the pain stopped, and the woman who was monitoring the room looked at me and said, “You can go.” My surgical process was complete. When I first arrived at The Casa, I was told that it could take up to six months for me to see any real results from my surgery. During the forty-day post-surgical period, I would have sworn that there was no change in my conditions. In the case of my lower back, I would have said that it was actually worse. However, I now think that weakness was caused more by the 40 days of no exercise. Now, at more than two months post-Joao, I think that my back is getting stronger and that the swelling in my lower leg is starting to lessen. I also think that the pain that I felt in my stomach when the entities came to remove my stitches, was the entities removing scar tissue from that earlier surgical procedure. I now feel like I have a little more elasticity in that area. The entities do more than just perform medical procedures. They seem to have their hand in everything that goes on in Abadiania. They also seem to know everything that happens in town. One of the treatments prescribed by the entities is a visit to the Healing Waterfalls. In order to go to the Falls, one must have a written prescription from the entity or be with someone who has a prescription. There are hundreds of people at The Casa on a daily basis and there is no way that Joao or anyone else at The Casa could keep track of or know who was with whom or in what group, yet when one person from a group asks permission to go to the waterfall, permission is always given for the entire number of the group plus one. An Australian man, that I met, post-surgically got involved in a heated telephone sex session with his girl friend. The session went to its inevitable conclusion. Forty days, no sex. The next morning, the incorporated Joao called him on it in public. “You are not obeying the rules, why should I help you?” Then he tacked on another 21 days of no sex to the man’s recovery period. I met many people that were visiting The Casa for the second, third, or fourth times. One, a French woman, was visiting for the third time. Her first visit to The Casa was three years ago. At that time, she was suffering from full-blown AIDS. Now, she was HIV/AIDS free and accompanied by her infant daughter, who was also HIV free. There has been over thirty cases of AIDS reported cured at The Casa. A Canadian woman, suffering from MS was at The Casa for the second time. Although her MS was not cured after her first visit, the disease has not progressed. She was already making plans for her third visit. As I sat in one of the cafes or restaurants, I met many other people who had experienced cures. I also overheard many conversations by people relating their medical conditions and progress. There are definitely medical miracles happening in Abadiania.
