soulfriend — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:24:34 GMT

My dear brothers and sisters, My name is Soulfriend and I am calling together the healing domes for the Redlightning community in Black Rock CIty, Nevada. (www.redlightning.org) The healing council has formed and our vision is materializing. This message is for you who are called to hold space with us. To be of service to the immediate community Redlightning, as well as to the community of BRC and beyond. Are you interested in co-creating and activating a harmonic resonance for vitality, health, life and transformational work? Are you who we are dreaming in, to collectively hold down this space on the playa? The intention is to offer a variety of healing modalities ie: DNA activations, oracles, light workers, massage, healing touch, yoga, sound healing… you name it, to those going through their processes within the vibrations of the divine feminine and sacred masculine, uniting at the vesica piscis. We will be working out of two domes within the Redlightning. The first will be a facilitated healing space with tables for active process with a center altar for prayer and connecting to the vortex of the 7th dimension. The second dome will be a community wellness sanctuary for group work ie: breath work, sound healing, guided meditation, talks on blood mysteries... Between workshops, it will be a contemplative/retreat space for people to meditate or rest and receive the vibrations that we as a collective activate and hold throughout the week. We will also be working in tandem with the tender-hart guardians and invite you to consider offering your services as a guardian of the healing domes and the healers as well. Please contact Gabriel (gabesho@hotmail.com) if you have interest in the following: *Serving on the council *Participating as a healer offering one or more 4 hour shifts (I will need a short bio from you) *Offering workshops *Have any questions / offerings *Participating as a guardian of the domes and healers If we all bring our gifts to this process, fully offering who we are, it will be effortless and transformational for all involved, reaching far into the future and into the world. I look forward to speaking with you, knowing you and your gifts and playing in the light. Namaste, Soulfriend

come one, come all!

A Gathering of the Tribe by Charles Eisenstein Once upon a time a great tribe of people lived in a world far away from ours. Whether far away in space, or in time, or even outside of time, we do not know. They lived in a state of enchantment and joy that few of us today dare to believe could exist, except in those exceptional peak experiences when we glimpse the true potential of life and mind. One day the shaman of the tribe called a meeting. They gathered around him, and he spoke very solemnly. "My friends," he said, "there is a world that needs our help. It is called earth, and its fate hangs in the balance. Its humans have reached a critical point in their collective birthing, and they will be stillborn without our help. Who would like to volunteer for a mission to this time and place, and render service to humanity?" "Tell us more about his mission," they asked. "I am glad you asked, because it is no small thing. I will put you into a deep, deep trance, so complete that you will forget who you are. You will live a human life, and in the beginning you will completely forget your origins. You will forget even our language and your own true name. You will be separated from the wonder and beauty of our world, and from the love that bathes us all. You will miss it deeply, yet you will not know what it is you are missing. You will only remember the love and beauty that we know to be normal as a longing in your heart. Your memory will take the form of an intuitive knowledge, as you plunge into the painfully marred earth, that a more beautiful world is possible. "As you grow up in that world, your knowledge will be under constant assault. You will be told in a million ways that a world of destruction, violence, drudgery, anxiety, and degradation is normal. You may go through a time when you are completely alone, with no allies to affirm your knowledge of a more beautiful world. You may plunge into a depth of despair that we, in our world of light, cannot imagine. But no matter what, a spark of knowledge will never leave you. A memory of your true origin will be encoded in your DNA. That spark will lie within you, inextinguishable, until one day it is awakened. "You see, even though you will feel, for a time, utterly alone, you will not be alone. I will send you assistance, help that you will experience as miraculous, experiences that you will describe as transcendent. For a few moments or hours or days, you will reawaken to the beauty and the joy that is meant to be. You will see it on earth, for even though the planet and its people are deeply wounded, there is beauty there still, projected from past and future onto the present as a promise of what is possible and a reminder of what is real. "You will also receive help from each other. As you begin to awaken to your mission you will meet others of our tribe. You will recognize them by your common purpose, values, and intuitions, and by the similarity of the paths you have walked. As the condition of the planet earth reaches crisis proportions, your paths will cross more and more. The time of loneliness, the time of thinking you might be crazy, will be over. "You will find the people of your tribe all over the earth, and become aware of them through the long-distance communication technologies used on that planet. But the real shift, the real quickening, will happen in face-to-face gatherings in special places on earth. When many of you gather together you will launch a new stage on your journey, a journey which, I assure you, will end where it began. Then, the mission that lay unconscious within you will flower into consciousness. Your intuitive rebellion against the world presented you as normal will become an explicit quest to create a more beautiful one. "In the time of loneliness, you will always be seeking to reassure yourself that you are not crazy. You will do that by telling people all about what is wrong with the world, and you will feel a sense of betrayal when they don't listen to you. You will be hungry for stories of wrongness, atrocity, and ecological destruction, all of which confirm the validity of your intuition that a more beautiful world exists. But after you have fully received the help I will send you, and the quickening of your gatherings, you will no longer need to do that. Because, you will Know. Your energy will thereafter turn toward actively creating that more beautiful world." A tribeswoman asked the shaman, "How do you know this will work? Are you sure your shamanic powers are great enough to send us on such a journey?" The shaman replied, "I know it will work because I have done it many times before. Many have already been sent to earth, to live human lives, and to lay the groundwork for the mission you will undertake now. I've been practicing! The only difference now is that many of you will venture there at once. What is new in the time you will live in, is that the Gatherings are beginning to happen." A tribesman asked, "Is there a danger we will become lost in that world, and never wake up from the shamanic trance? Is there a danger that the despair, the cynicism, the pain of separation will be so great that it will extinguish the spark of hope, the spark of our true selves and origin, and that we will separated from our beloved ones forever?" The shaman replied, "That is impossible. The more deeply you get lost, the more powerful the help I will send you. You might experience it at the time as a collapse of your personal world, the loss of everything important to you. Later you will recognize the gift within it. We will never abandon you." Another man asked, "Is it possible that our mission will fail, and that this planet, earth, will perish?" The shaman replied, "I will answer your question with a paradox. It is impossible that your mission will fail. Yet, its success hangs on your own actions. The fate of the world is in your hands. The key to this paradox lies within you, in the feeling you carry that each of your actions, even your personal, secret struggles within, has cosmic significance. You will know then, as you do now, that everything you do matters. God sees everything." There were no more questions. The volunteers gathered in a circle, and the shaman went to each one. The last thing each was aware of was the shaman blowing smoke in his face. They entered a deep trance and dreamed themselves into the world where we find ourselves today. **** Who are these missionaries from the more beautiful world? You and I are surely among them. Where else could this longing come from, for this magical place to be found nowhere on earth, this beautiful time outside of time? It comes from our intuitive knowledge of our origin and destination. The longing, indomitable, will never settle for a world that is less. Against all reason, we look upon the horrors of our age, mounting over the millennia, and we say NO, it does not have to be this way! We know it, because we have been there. We carry in our souls the knowledge that a more beautiful world is possible. Reason says it is impossible; reason says that even to slow -- much less reverse -- the degradation of the planet is an impossible task: politically unfeasible, opposed by the Money Power and its oligarchies. It is true that those powers will fight to uphold the world we have known. Their allies lurk within even ourselves: despair, cynicism, and resignation to carving out a life that is "good enough" for me and mine. But we of the tribe know better. In the darkest despair a spark of hope lies inextinguishable within us, ready to be fanned into flames at the slightest turn of good news. However compelling the cynicism, a jejune idealism lives within us, always ready to believe, always ready to look upon new possibilities with fresh eyes, surviving despite infinite disappointments. And however resigned we may have felt, our aggrandizement of me and mine is half-hearted, for part of our energy is looking elsewhere, outward toward our true mission. I would like to advise caution against dividing the world into two types of people, those who are of the tribe and those who are not. How often have you felt like an alien in a world of people who don't get it and don't care? The irony is that nearly everyone feels that way, deep down. When we are young the feeling of mission and the sense of magnificent origins and a magnificent destination is strong. Any career or way of life lived in betrayal of that knowing is painful, and can only be maintained through an inner struggle that shuts down a part of our being. For a time, we can keep ourselves functioning through various kinds of addictions or trivial pleasures to consume the life force and dull the pain. In earlier times, we might have kept the sense of mission and destiny buried for a lifetime, and called that condition maturity. Times are changing now though, as millions of people are awakening to their mission all at the same time. The condition of the planet is waking us up. Another way to put it, is that we are becoming young again. When you feel that sense of alienation, when you look upon that sea of faces mired so inextricably in the old world and fighting to maintain it, think back to a time when you too were, to all outside appearances, a full and willing participant in that world as well. The same spark of revolution you carried then, the same secret refusal, dwells in all people. How was it that you finally stopped fighting it? How was it that you came to realize that you were right all along, that the world offered to us is wrong, and that no life is worth living that does not in some way strive to create a better one? How was it that it became intolerable to devote your life energy toward the perpetuation of the old world? Most likely, it happened when the old world fell apart around your ears. As the multiple crises of money, health, energy, ecology, and more converge upon us, the world is going to collapse for millions more. We must stand ready to welcome them into the tribe. We must stand ready to welcome them back home. The time of loneliness, of walking the path alone, of thinking maybe the world is right and I am wrong for refusing to participate fully in it... that time is over. For years we walked around talking about how wrong everything is: the political system, the educational system, religious institutions, the military-industrial complex, the banking industry, the medical system -- really, any system you study deeply enough. We needed to talk about it because we needed to assure ourselves that we were not, in fact, crazy. We needed as well to talk about alternatives, the way things should be. "We" should eliminate CFCs. "They" should stop cutting down the rain forests. "The government" should declare no fishing zones. This talk, too, was necessary, for it validated our vision of the world that could be: a peaceful and exuberant humanity living in co-creative partnership with a wild garden earth. The time, though, for talking merely to assure ourselves that we are right is coming to an end. People everywhere are tired of it, tired of attending yet another lecture, organizing yet another discussion group online. We want more. A few weeks ago as I was preparing for a speaking trip to Oregon, the organizers told me, "These people don't need to be told what the problems are. They don't even need to be told what the solutions are. They already know that, and many of them are already in action. What they want is to take their activism to the next level." To do that, to fully step into one's mission here on earth, one must experience an inner shift that cannot be merely willed upon oneself. It does not normally happen through the gathering or receiving of information, but through various kinds of experiences that reach deep into our unconscious minds. Whenever I am blessed with such an experience, I get the sense that some benevolent yet pitiless power -- the shaman in the story -- has reached across the void to quicken me, to reorganize my DNA, to rewire my nervous system. I come away changed. One way it happens is through the "gathering of the tribe" I described in this story. I think many people who attended the recent Reality Sandwich retreat in Utah experienced something like this. Such gatherings are happening now all over the world. You go back, perhaps, to "real life" afterwards, but it no longer seems so real. Your perceptions and priorities change. New possibilities emerge. Instead of feeling stuck in your routines, life changes around you at a vertiginous pace. The unthinkable becomes commonsense and the impossible becomes easy. It may not happen right away, but once the internal shift has occurred, it is inevitable. Here I am, a speaker and a writer, going on about how the time for mere talk has ended. Yet not all words are mere talk. A spirit can ride the vehicle of words, a spirit that is larger than, yet not separate from, their meaning. Sometimes I find that when I bow into service, that spirit inhabits the space in which I speak and affects all present. A sacredness infuses our conversations and the non-verbal experiences that are becoming part of my events. In the absence of that sacredness, I feel like a smart-ass, up there entertaining people and telling them information they could just as easily read online. Last Friday night I spoke on a panel in New York, one of three smart-asses, and I think many in the audience left disappointed (though maybe not as disappointed as I was in myself). We are looking for something more, and it is finding us. The revolutionary spark of our true mission has been fanned into flames before, only to return again to an ember. You may remember an acid trip in 1975, a Grateful Dead concert in 1982, a kundalini awakening in 1999 -- an event that, in the midst of it, you knew was real, a privileged glimpse into a future that can actually manifest. Then later, as its reality faded into memory and the inertial routines of life consumed you, you perhaps dismissed it and all such experiences as an excursion from life, a mere "trip." But something in you knows it was real, realer than the routines of normalcy. Today, such experiences are accelerating in frequency even as "normal" falls apart. We are at the beginning of a new phase. Our gatherings are not a substitute for action; they are an initiation into a state of being from which the necessary kinds of actions arise. Soon you will say, with wonder and serenity, "I know what to do, and I trust myself to do it."

Let us look deeply within one another.

soulfriend — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:39:19 GMT

Do not bow your head. Do not close your eyes. Let us look deeply within one another. TODAY, I give thanks for the light that exists within each one of you. TODAY, I acknowledge that your quest for light beyond shadow, your desire to defeat your own cynicism, your work at believing the impossible possible, your faith in change and the ability of humankind to transcend past transgressions and overcome the shortsightedness of ignorance and fear, and our collective effort at stretching the boundaries of reality, has enabled us to achieve the dream that is TODAY. TODAY, I acknowledge that even my own success is a simple spoke in the wheel of our collective success, and that our collective success is in response to all of the individual effort that we have put forward in our individual lives, in private moments, in private struggles against our lesser selves. Some of us worked on being more honest. Some of us worked on being more kind. Some of us worked on not hiding our emotions. Some of us worked on becoming less angry. Some of us worked on becoming better listeners. Some of us worked on facing our fears. Some of us worked on remembering to say thank you. Some of us worked on trusting our loved ones. Some of us worked on having more faith. Some of us worked on detoxifying our environment. Some of us worked on detoxifying our minds. Some of us worked on monitoring our diets. Some of us worked on strengthening our discipline. Some of us worked on broadening our skills. Some of us worked on learning new languages. Some of us worked on becoming better parents. Some of us worked on becoming better friends. Some of us worked on remembering our dreams. Some of us worked on forgiving the past. Some of us worked on strengthening our bodies. Some of us worked on sharing and giving back. Some of us worked on taking on greater responsibility. Some of us worked on our art. As a result of all of the work that has been done quietly in our individual lives, we have collectively contributed to the blossoming understanding and simplest expression of what God is. God is our good, and even the good we do for our self counts. Each fully blossomed flower on the hillside of our destiny adds to the broadened spectrum of our being. And together, we create more than beauty, more than fate; we evolve the depth and scope of the All-Seeing. We may never see it reported through the media, but there is more good happening in this world than evil. There are more children smiling in this moment than any single one of us could fathom… and someone just fell in love, and someone just helped a stranger, and someone just scored a goal, and someone got their hearing back, and someone's joking with their co-worker, and someone's sitting in the kitchen, while the rest of the household sleeps, writing a poem. Today, I give thanks for all of the good that has gone unrewarded, for every kind word, action, or deed. Today, I gave thanks for the God that is within each and every one of you, that is us, when we claim who we are I am not sure who this author is, it is not mine. it really pulled my heart as a beautiful truth and i felt to share it. if anyone knows who wrote it, please contact me so i can give credit to them. blessings and love sf

The grain is already there in the wood

soulfriend — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:52:43 GMT

The Grain of the Wood by Thanissaro Bhikku [Listen to Audio! ] There are two sides to the path of practice: the side of developing and the side of letting go. And it's important that you see the practice in both perspectives, that your practice contains both sides. If you practice just letting go, you'll throw away the baby with the bath water. Everything good will get thrown out because you let go of everything and leave nothing left. On the other hand, if yours is just a practice of developing and working and doing, you miss the things that happen on their own, that happen when you do let go. So an important part of the practice is realizing which is which. This is what discernment is all about, realizing which qualities in the mind are skillful, the ones that are our friends, and which qualities are unskillful, the ones that are your enemies. The ones that are your friends are those that help make your knowledge clearer, make you see things more clearly -- things like mindfulness, concentration and discernment, together with the qualities they depend on: virtue, morality, persistence. These are the good guys in the mind. These are the ones you have to nurture, the ones you have to work at. If you don't work at them, they won't come on their own. Some people think that practice is simply a matter of letting the mind go with its own flow, but the flow of the mind tends to flow down, just as water flows downhill, which is why the mind needs to be trained. In training the mind, we're not creating the unconditioned or unfabricated in the mind. It's more like polishing wood. The grain is already there in the wood but, unless you polish it, it doesn't shimmer, it doesn't shine. You don't create the grain, but the polishing is what brings out the grain already there. If you don't polish it, it doesn't have the same shimmer, it doesn't have the same beauty it does when it's polished. (...) This is why there has to be effort. This is why there has to be work in the practice.

tree of the golden light: SaLuSa 24-November-2008

soulfriend — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:53:11 GMT

SaLuSa 24-November-2008 So many things are happening that you have to watch carefully in case you miss something. New opportunities are opening for Lightworkers as there is more support for their work than any previous occasion. As the old bastions collapse so the new can take its place, and we see much progress being made at this time. The breath of fresh air that has swept across your nation, has galvanized many people into action as they now see it is time to step forward. Your President Elect leads the way and will eventually come into his own, as he takes over full power in his decision making. At present it is very much a case of laying down the basis of a support group, but that will eventually become more personalized. Out of the chaos will rise a new way of leadership, and it will directly address the issues and concerns of the people. That will be quite a different approach to what you have been used to and lift politics to a new level. However, it is only the beginning as a quantum leap forward will only come with our arrival on Earth. What is happening is that the dark forces are losing their power, and finding much more resistance to their attempts to maintain the old ways. They are being gradually removed from their positions of power. Be assured that behind the scenes there is far more happening than appears on the surface. You are experiencing the inevitable breakdown of all that has no place in your future. One that has in part been set in motion by you, but also manifests in accordance with the divine plan that covers this period leading up to completion of the cycle. It is all change, and as people of good intentions galvanise their efforts to bring the new into place, they will find opportunities to assist those of the Light. These are the times you have been waiting for and their emergence is the answer to your pleas for change. Our presence is also part of the greater plan, and we will join you at the appropriate time and ensure your progress takes off in leaps and bounds. Our preparations have been in place for a long time and updated and ready to commence at a minutes notice. As always our influence and guidance is felt by many of you, and we work with you even although you may be unaware of it. At times we know you wonder why we can be so positive about the end times, when there are so many other beliefs that are quite different. It is down to many centuries of predictions that cover them, and they have become energized as life-lines of their own. They attract people who have similar beliefs and that adds to their potential manifestation. At times in your past a different end-time was possible, but because your consciousness has moved beyond it a more powerful time line has been created. We refer to Ascension and all that it promises, which means that the earlier expectations are no longer valid. You have moved beyond the need for devastating world-wide events that would have spelt the end of the Earth. Now the physical changes are totally under our watchful eye, and we are authorized to lessen their impact upon you. Changes there must be as part of the cleansing and restoration of Mother Earth. One of our most difficult tasks will to be bringing about of the end of the war machine. The energies that have built such a monster have to be channeled into a more neutral avenue of expression. We foresee many personnel making the transition to a peaceful organization that will care for Earth and its people, and will be pleased to contribute to the Light. Not every soul drawn to the work of the military powers is tied to the negative energies. Many in fact have viewed their work as in the interests of the protection of their country. There are of course others who revel in death and destruction, and to them will be offered the chance to be re-educated and find their Light within. We do not condemn anyone regardless of which side they are on, but simply see all carrying out their part in this last period before it ends. There is a lot of karma being cleared, and such experiences are essential to your onward progress on your spiritual path. Judgement is something you are encouraged to do from birth, as it is just considered normal without regard to the consequences. However, once you understand that all of you are enacting roles that satisfy your desires, and each and every one of you are important to that expression you will view it differently. You are taught to judge others on the basis of color and religion, and will eventually see that they are simply the means to experience in a way that has been chosen by those souls. We know the tasks ahead are formidable but where your spiritual knowledge is concerned, the Masters will return to Earth to give you the truth. They will also tell you of what lies ahead, and how the choice is always yours as to which direction you go. For those who are aware that changes are happening but do not understand where it is all leading, we ourselves will take on the task of enlightening them. First and foremost it must be understood that life is infinite, and that you have had many lives upon Earth. It is part of your spiritual evolution, and Ascension will lift you up to levels that you passed through on your downward path into duality. You are old souls who are just beginning to remember that you are of the Light. What we come to enlighten you about is not really new to you, and we know that you will accept it quite readily. We come as it were to jog your memory, as deep within your subconsciousness you can connect with past experiences. In reality there is nothing new in the Universe that has not existed in the past. It is all in the “now” and once you move out of linear time, you will experience the truth of that statement. It is a difficult concept whilst you are bound by time, but try to imagine the past, present and future as one. Some of you have traveled into the future, and remote viewing is quite advanced in your own country. There is so much that has been hidden from you, not least of all the undeniable proof that our space craft are real, and that we and other extraterrestrials have frequently landed on your Earth. We have met your leaders who have repeatedly rejected our help. I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and pleased to once more to address you, and bring you love and greetings from the Galactic Federation.

11:11 Key Date Activation

soulfriend — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:59:55 GMT

Please note that reading this information will have an effect on you. You will energetically be linked with the Channelling being and a similar process facilitated with you. It is not exactly the same as being in the presence of the channelling Master; however the effects are just as powerful. Do not concern yourself too much regarding time lines given to the participants in the channelling. You will be taken through a similar one in accordance with your Divine Plan, Timing & Purpose. To download the audio version of this channelling go to www.indecontent.com I am Kuthumi and I come forward upon the rays of Love and Wisdom to greet each of you at this time and to bring unto you the blessings of focus, nurturing, understanding and divine wisdom. Greetings beloved ones. And it is with great joy and pleasure in our hearts that we may gather with each of you upon this day as we hold you firmly within the heart of Christ and securely upon the hands of God. Beloved ones this key date activation for the 11th of the 11th 2008 is a very important one. This is a time of the turning of the tide. You find yourself within a place where everything around you is in the state of constant change, it appears as if nothing is guaranteed other than change however, this perceived turmoil, chaos and fall is vital in order for all of you to move forward. The reason why this key date is so important is because between the 11th and 13th of November the doorways and all the access points that the Dark Lord has used to gain entry to the world will be sealed, now the world I speak of is the world of the fluid energy, the fluid paradigm. The time of darkness is coming to a close and in this case you are ending the journey through the Dark Age, which we refer to as the age of ignorance. The Piscean Age was very much that, the time where everyone expected to be told what to do, how to do it and when to do it, now you are entering the Aquarian Age. This is the time of reclaiming your power and stepping into the knowingness of who you are and what your truth is. With these portals being sealed you are released into a new time-line; a new experience of what the Aquarian energy is all about. Between the 11th and 13th it will feel as if a great part of you is disconnected, perhaps even you may sense or feel some kind of disruption within yourself. During those three days the process that will be activated by us to disable the access points will require stillness, and the three days of stillness is the time where you journey within into the Michelle Eloff © www.thelightweaver.org 11:11 Key Date Activation 2 place of yourself and you will be shown some of your own strengths and the wisdom that lies within you. Your mind will undergo a powerful release of the old paradigm and the shift that shall take place will literally lift you from one place and place you within a new one, therefore, we suggest that during these three days you spend time focusing on that which nurtures you, on that which brings about balance and support in your life. Focus on the inner qualities that allow this to unfold. You will also find that unsupportive and ignorant belief systems will surface, however, they will not hang around for very long because of the presence of support you will be experiencing. On the 11th, 12th and 13th you will have within your midst the energies of myself, Lord Kuthumi. The entire Elohim will be focusing on this grand time of change, you will experience how the portals within yourself through which darkness accessed your greatest fears will close and you will find that the realisation of what fear is all about coming to the fore. It is vital that you truly understand the illusion that lies within, beneath, above, before, behind and to each side of fear. There is a big difference between natural survival instinct and fabricated fears. We have given a tremendous amount of information over the past few weeks regarding working with those aspects of yourself. Do not push these aside as unimportant and if you feel you are in a very strong place in your life with very little fears it does not mean that you will not benefit from that which we have transmitted already. This gateway that is opening from the 13th of November is bringing in all the energies of light. The Gods and Goddesses, Lords and Ladies of light step into the realm of the Fluid Universe and penetrate the twelve point chakra system within the open heart of every willing soul and by this we mean the willing souls who are ready to fully face themselves, completely reclaim their power and be confident about their mission to move forward. From the 13th of November the energies change completely, a completely new signature will slowly be integrated into the DNA of your body. That integration process will take place from the 13th to the 21st of November, during that time you will find yourself simply dropping that which you deem no longer an important part of your life, your process, your thoughts, your attitudes and your beliefs. It is not something to fear, it will unfold with grace and ease. This is one of the most magical times of your year and is vital in the next phase of your preparation for 21/12/2008. Some of you are already aware of the fact that a number of us; the Ascended Masters, are moving into a much higher vibration as a result of our own progress and we have been granted permission to bring those of you who are ready with us, not into the same realm, but you are being lifted into a higher realm than you have been in before however, it requires an enormous amount of responsibility of the self; self awareness, self love and self acceptance, for now you are being groomed to emerge as the true beacons of light of the Golden Age. From the 21st of December 2008 to the 11th of October 2011 your life path, your life mission and your purpose, if you want to call it that, will take on a whole new meaning, it will explode open like the blossom greeting the first rays of the sun and this is when you will understand why we have been so emphatic regarding mastering the self by accepting self, loving self and taking full responsibility for the self because this is where everything that you have learnt must be applied. In this new realm there is no room for the lower frequency human behaviour, you are emerging as a more enlightened human being and you create the new patterns. It is your destiny to do this, which is why you are doing this today. Michelle Eloff © www.thelightweaver.org 11:11 Key Date Activation 3 Today’s transmission is a little different to what we usually do and what we want you to do are certain exercises, which make up the complete picture of what we are creating. The very first thing you are to do is take as much time as you need to write down absolutely every regret you have ever had and have in your life. Write down every fear and negative belief system you have about yourself, about your health, relationships, money, family, your abilities and creativity (A minimum of four under each of those headings). Once you have done this you are then to set those pages aside and imagine yourself as God or Goddess looking down upon you from the midst of the Cosmos, from the realms of pure divine light and love. Take a few minutes to breathe this essence into your body and do not begin the next exercise until you feel the immensity of this power and of this light inside of you. Once you feel it I want you then to write down every pearl of wisdom you can see from the God mind and the Goddess mind that you have gained as a result of your life experiences. I want you to write down every hope, every dream and every joy that you have experienced in your life and then I want you to write a letter to yourself from God/Goddess. In that space God and Goddess will channel through to you. If you find your mind trying to distract you, stop, take a deep breath in, relax and affirm I am God, I am Goddess and repeat it like a mantra for as long as you need until that strong feeling is back again and continue to write. Only stop when you feel everything has been said. Do not analyse the process, do not stop and think about what you are writing let it flow, if there is a judgement that arises while you are writing, stop, breathe in deeply and do your mantras again and continue. This exercise challenges the old paradigm self to respectfully step down from the podium of ruling your life and to relinquish control to the higher aspect of the human self you are becoming. This is one of the most important exercises you will do for yourself at this time. The purpose behind this exercise is to support the closing down of those access points that the darkness has used to access your fear. You can only release it when you see what you have lived by in relation to your fears, your beliefs and attitudes about yourself. Your regrets become triggers that motivate you and your behaviour, which often manifests as compromise, self sabotage and self wounding, saying yes when you mean no and vice versa. All of your fears, when you see what those fears are and you remember my words at the beginning saying to you that everything within fear, above it, beneath it, before it, behind it and to either side of it is illusion you begin to grasp the fact that the higher wise human has within it’s essence the ability and the tools to transmute all of that. This is one of your major initiations and “tests” so to speak as an alchemist. The alchemist must transform his or her own life before they can truly practice alchemy with others. The alchemical process is the opening of the crystal heart; that place inside of you that contains the pure essence of the God and the Goddess, two divine expressions of one self. The letter that the God and Goddess are giving to you contains truth, your challenge with this is to accept the truth about yourself. Most people have difficulty with this because they and you have built your identities on the false beliefs and fears of your past, you have adopted them as truth whether you can prove it or not, whether it is real or not and you have said this is who I am. I have one question for you: are you still willing to live your life motivated by the fearful and judgemental projections of the external world, or, are you ready to be your authentic self? The ego will challenge what God and Goddess have said to you but that is not your problem, your focus is on integrating this light and this exercise is part of your journey out of the age of darkness; the age of ignorance and into the new realm of liquid light. It is this light that now forms a kind of wall behind you like a support structure and it is Michelle Eloff © www.thelightweaver.org 11:11 Key Date Activation 4 this liquid light that you can lean on and trust that it will carry you and move you forward, it’s energy is infinite and ever present. This particular exercise will help you to understand and gain clarity; the understanding of what has motivated you throughout your life and the clarity inside of you that those motivations have not been who you really are. Not only does this exercise prepare you for the second ascension wave but it also adds to the foundation of your new world, which we have called the Promise of New Life. Lady Nada will assist you with this for she is the overlighting being alongside me for these energies of the Promise of New Life. You will be shown in many ways the importance of utilising the pearls of wisdom you have gained, the importance of tapping into your source of joy, of gratitude and the ability to believe in your hopes, your dreams and your wishes without attaching yourself to outcomes or placing limitation by expecting something specific to unfold. You place your dream within the liquid of this liquid love and trust that where you are will take you to where you need to be in a most beautiful, miraculous, sometimes even magical and always graceful way. Your experiences are changing beyond your wildest imaginings. You are now penetrating a hymen of sorts. It is this new world that will show you that all the teachings you have been following have always been preparing you for that moment. You will also realise that the inhibiting qualities of the ignorant human being was unable to and is unable to comprehend what lies beyond this hymen. We use the word hymen specifically because it is virgin territory that you are entering, and this hymen only you can penetrate because it is a world that has been created by you, with you and for you. There are billions of others that are working with a similar template but there is only one unique entry point for each of you, but the old access points must be securely sealed in order for you to penetrate this “virgin world”. You will see how important this journey has been for you. You will also begin to realise how important all your challenges have been and I suggest that once you have read, re-read and re-read the letter from God/Goddess again that you then sit in gratitude for every challenge, for every tear you have shed, for every moment that you wept, been wounded and experienced pain and suffering, for it is all of that which has brought you to where you are and it is this combined energy of emotional, mental and spiritual maturity that grants you access to the worlds of liquid light, liquid love and fluid consciousness. You are entering a part of the Kingdom of Heaven that you have never entered before. Master Jesus said that the house of his father has many rooms. You are about to embark upon a journey that guarantees you will never be the same again. So, beloved ones, begin this exercise as soon as possible. I, Kuthumi, have already activated the energy grid around you that will support you through this time. We have also created a three dimensional crystal heart around you, within this crystal heart is your true essence. Your personal guides, your doorkeeper guide, your healing angel and master teacher will be contained within this crystal heart with you during this time, use it to create the floor plan of that which you wish to plant, nurture, grow and harvest in this new time-line. If it is at all possible begin this process immediately after my transmission is completed and celebrate a new dawn within the new world of liquid light. Beloved ones you have earned entry into this realm within the Kingdoms of Heaven. This is the last phase of the cycle. Not too long ago I said it is like running the final Michelle Eloff © www.thelightweaver.org 11:11 Key Date Activation 5 hundred metres, give it all you have and do not for a moment doubt that you deserve anything less than the absolute best. Put your heart, your soul, your spirit and your essence into this exercise and I promise you, you won’t regret it. Be aware that the collective consciousness will be under added stress and strain during these three days of transition. Fear may build in the collective consciousness because the economic situation in your world will become more strained and it is this strain that feeds the fear of the collective, but you should know by now that the dark energy will hold on with all it’s might and will make sure that as it goes down it will take as much as it can with it and I am sure you are not one of those things that plans on going down with it, are you? (No) Very well. Now the light, this liquid light, is very important because it will come forward in some kind of physical manifestation as well. The liquid light contains the liquid love so liquid will play an important part in the process, besides giving your body enough liquid, a minimum of two litres a day excluding any kind of beverage like coffee or any other beverage containing caffeine because it dehydrates your body, therefore, water and any other liquid is going to support this process all the way up until the 21st of March 2009. The liquid light and liquid love is going to wash through all those areas that contained the access points where the most traffic of darkness existed. The Dark Lord however is being given an opportunity to step into his light self/her light self and you will see many amazing healings taking place. You will also see that the dichotomies of life are incredibly humorous, and when you see and I mean truly see that life is in fact just a game, then my precious ones you are truly free. Never forget that you are a master remembering your truth in human form and absolutely nothing is stopping you from attaining full master consciousness in a human form, nothing other than yourself! And so it is beloved ones that I leave you with these words and urge you to carry this exercise out as much as some of you don’t want to, and if you find a hundred and one excuses why not to do it then force yourself to do it, the more you don’t want to do it the more you need to do it. This exercise is my gift of liberation to you. Know that we are ever present always guiding, always supporting and always protecting you and may all always be well in your world, in your journey, in anchoring peace in your heart, your mind, your body, your spirit and soul. I am Kuthumi, Chohan of the Golden Ray of Love and Wisdom and I greet and bless you in love. Adonai. To download the audio version of this channelling go to www.indecontent.com

Real men play nice

soulfriend — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:46:46 GMT

www.odemagazine.com MARCO VISSCHER | MARCH 2007 ISSUE Real men play nice In the 1960s when Stuart Schlegel went to live among the Teduray, a tribe that made its home in the Philippine rainforest, the American missionary found a society he called "radically egalitarian." Men and women, children and adults, shamans and basket weavers: All operated as equals. The effect on Schlegel was dramatic. He returned as an anthropologist to study the tribe, discovering that the Teduray knew no violence, no repression and no hoarding of wealth. Childrearing was equally divided between parents. Decisions were made by consensus, balancing the welfare of everyone in the community. In other words, the whole society was built on co-operation, non-violence and equality. In Wisdom from a Rainforest (University of Georgia Press, 1999), Schlegel analyzes the results of his fieldwork, offering pointed commentary on American society when he compares it to the culture of the Teduray and sounding wistful in his yearning for primitive societies. Schlegel's tone is understandable since in 1972, the 120-member community he studied was caught in the crossfire between the government and Muslim rebels and wiped out. Its values also seem at risk of extinction. But the professor emeritus in anthropology at the University of California, Santa Cruz should be pleased to see that such values are beginning to take root in modern societies. In her upcoming book The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics (Berrett-Koehler, 2007), sociologist Riane Eisler outlines the recent emergence of these "female" values in a world in which the emphasis on competition and violence have had disastrous effects. She calls a society like that of the Teduray "a partnership system" as opposed to "a domination system," in which men consider themselves superior to women and promote individualism over co-operation. According to Eisler - known for her feminist bestseller "The Chalice and the Blade" - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland are leading the way. In these countries, she says, the poor and the rich both benefit from the higher quality of life, and a remarkable degree of equality is enjoyed by men and women, both inside and outside the family. In the political arena, some 40 percent of Nordic parliament members are women, a higher percentage than in other parts of the world. In the professional sphere, three-quarters of Norwegian women work, with a good chance at equal pay. There, a controversial emancipation law prescribes that at least 40 percent of board members at the 550 largest publicly traded companies should be women. Since the law was adopted in 2002, the number of female board members at large companies has tripled - though many firms still have not achieved the target percentage. Eisler writes: "As the status of women rises, so does the status of caregiving, non-violence and other traits deemed inappropriate for men in dominator societies because they’re associated with 'inferior' femininity. In partnership-oriented cultures, men can value these traits and activities in themselves as well as in society because women are no longer subordinate." What does this kind of shift in values mean for a contemporary society? In The Real Wealth of Nations, Eisler describes the effects within Nordic countries: Peace. Nordic countries led the way in legislation banning domestic violence involving children. They also created the first peace studies programs, when the rest of the world only had military academies. Family. Tax incentives support activities like caregiving considered more feminine in nature. For instance, the government subsidizes child care and a generous scheme for paid parental leave for both mothers and fathers. Environment. Not only do Nordic countries have far-reaching environmental laws but the corporate sector enacts green measures on its own. In 1989 - long before "corporate social responsibility" became fashionable - the Swedish scientist Karl-Henrik Robrt founded The Natural Step to help companies become more sustainable. The Swedish furniture giant IKEA was among the first to embrace the model. Solidarity. Nordic countries spend a higher-than-average percentage of their gross domestic products on aid to the developing world. In spending those funds, the emphasis is on fair economic development, environmental protection and human rights. Corporate sector. Sweden and Norway were among the first countries to experiment with "economic democracy," whereby employees have more authority in the workplace as well as increased responsibility. Additionally, co-operatives - associations of producers and consumers who are both members and owners - play an important role in Nordic countries' economies - fueling the growth of wind energy, for example. An emphasis on care and co-operation does not have to weaken a country's economy. In the World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual global competitiveness report, the Nordic countries are invariably among the top-ranking regions, even with high taxes. At an interview held at the presentation of the 2005-2006 report, the WEF's chief economist Augusto Lopez-Claros said:"If the high tax rates generate resources that are then used to deliver world-class educational establishments, an effective social safety net and a highly motivated and skilled labour force, then competitiveness is boosted, not undermined." Various studies also show that Nordic residents are happy. In the United Nations' Human Development Report they score high in the "quality of life" category. In The Real Wealth of Nations, Eisler contends that the northern Europeans' high level of fulfillment demonstrates the potential of every modern society to advance, thanks to greater appreciation for female values. Under such a definition of "progress," the world stands to become a nicer place. © Ode Magazine USA, Inc. and Ode Luxembourg 2008 (further information in Privacy & Copyright)

Subject: we are the ones we've been waiting for

soulfriend — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 01:16:58 GMT

Try this! The Vision: Seeing Obama in Office The year is 2016. We glance at the television one morning and see Obama having another of his many press conferences. He has now been in office for almost 8 years. It hasn't been perfect, but things are much better than when he took office in January of 2009. You notice that his hair has whitened a bit and that he still has that winning smile and that take-charge/positive energy that he had when he was campaigning way back in 2008. You remember back to how concerned you were about whether or not he would win in 2008 and you feel deeply contented that he has been safely in office for such a long time. He and Congress have done much to address new economic opportunities, national security, global warming, health care, development of alternative energy sources, and a variety of other important matters to the country and the planet. You feel deep gratitude for the past eight years and how things have unfolded. See it... Feel it... Breathe it.... Pass it on Lets stop fighting against McCain and Palin, and start doing even more work "for" Obama-Biden. Lets stop driving ourselves crazy with all of the outrageous mind upsetting details about them and start remembering all of the wonderful reasons we want Obama. THE CHALLENGE: Take 30 seconds right now. Close your eyes and imagine exactly what our country will feel like with President Obama. Imagine how good it will feel. Imagine whatever it is about him that you desire. Imagine the pride. Imagine the diplomacy. Imagine the peace. Imagine the wind mills and the clean cars. Imagine the citizen groups. Imagine the earth being healed and revitalized. Imagine being very proud of your country and its leader. Imagine whatever it is that draws you to support Obama. Imagine what your life will look like. 30 seconds. Do it several times. especially tomorrow! We can shift and change the vibration of this country with positive visions just like this.

Roar, Lion of the Soul!

soulfriend — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:59:21 GMT

Soul Level Astrology: Cosmic Weather Report written by: Mark Borax August 5, Putney VT Roar, Lion of the Soul! In the last five months I've done a hundred 90-minute Soul Level Astrology readings. For the first time in my twenty-one year practice, most of those readings were for people all over the world rather than on the west coast of the U.S. I begin each session asking, "What would you most like to get from today's work?" I've been hearing the same answer from Nantucket to New Zealand, Ireland to Alabama: "Where is my optimal path through the coming Changes?" We all know the world is changing, clients report this internationally. Evidence is everywhere. Global Change is no longer a rumor whispered along New Age buzzlines in Sedona, Eugene, Santa Cruz, Boulder and Maui, as it was twenty-one years ago this month during the Harmonic Convergence of 1987. It's now become an unmistakable truth blasting the world from every direction. We're being swept into a universal tsunami of millennial proportions and not everybody likes it. It's hard to know which path to take amidst so many collective surges. Specters of doom and gloom pervade mass consciousness. Many readers have been drawn to my book because it puts a positive spin on this cusp of ages, which my teacher Ellias Lonsdale dubbed a death scene in the Karmic Theatre piece of our times: The Final Act of A False Civilization. The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo four days ago is heating up this Karmic Theatre Act. Eclipses are wild cards of the zodiac; least predictable of all astrological cycles. They cut across the regular movements of the spheres in flashes that spotlight our investment in ego. There's always something primal about an eclipse, leftover from ancient memories of how our first ancestors reacted when Night extinguished Day. When Leo goes dark, ego is eclipsed. Places we're invested in showing how great we are are cast into shadow. When ego darkens we gain a path to the Self-beyond-self. Down beneath who we think we are is a nameless radiance. Packed into our core is a force beyond words. Each of us has an innate genius, a sleeping giant-what the poet Rumi calls The Lion of the Soul. The effects of an eclipse tend to last from one-to-six months. The eclipse in Leo and the one on August 16 in Aquarius at the full moon, gird us to take the friction of the coming months into a deep enough part of ourselves that we free the Lion of the Soul and release the full creative power of our individuality. Full creative individuation is a gift we rarely claim until we have to. The world's losing its head, which is great news because then the heart can take over. Leo is the greatest sign to respond to Karmic Theatre from. Karmic Theatre is a term coined by Ellias Lonsdale. It means that everything that happens between birth and death is a ritual designed to release the full force of the human soul into physical existence. Normally our soul force stays hidden. We live at half-strength, or less, a vicarious existence that barely taps the magnitude of what we hold inside. We get caught in masks that conceal our inner brilliance. We play at being so much less than we are. This Eclipse time challenges us to harness the friction of whatever's not working into a bursting apart of false ego, releasing the bright force within. In a time before time, tremendous light was packed into your soul. Back down the reincarnational chain, when you originally separated out from the galactic light into the physical container of your first human life, you aimed your soul down the spiraling journey from Spirit to Matter. Your soul had good reasons for leaving Cosmos to take up Earth. It had one special gift to give to the world that the world desperately needs: the gift of presence. Your greatest treasure is the enactment of you fully coming to life, holding nothing back. Who are you really? What are you here to do? How much longer are you going to wait?

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!!!!

soulfriend — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:57:00 GMT

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."
