I think I've mentioned the Illuminati and New World Order a number of times when we've been together, however, we're always talking about so many things, one can only take in what's pertinent to one in the moment.

You can look up the Illuminati and One World Order all over the internet. The "Da Vinci" code, about Mary Magdalene, was also about the Illuminati and the FreeMasons. The organization was originally founded by the Knights Templar (the Crusaders, in the middle ages), and transformed or conjoined with the Masons, who used a lot of symbology and numerology, astrology and sacred geometry in order to create alchemy and magic. Teh conjoining of the Masons and Knights eventually became the Illuminati.

I don't believe in 'pacts with the devil', but I do believe in people who are much more interested in wealth at whatever cost than in balance and beauty. Magic (Power) is there for any who know how to invoke and use it - Jesus, Mary Magdalene, shaman, priest/priestesses of many nations and ways have known how to access and use Power forever. However, if those invoking and using it are not in balance and seeking beauty, they will wreak havoc and chaos instead.

The Illuminati originally were the artisans (Leonardo Da Vinci and many, many of the top artist/scientists, etc. of their day), and also many of the philosophers and politicians, including the elite aristocracy.

They understood that Power runs in the 'ley lines' (the blood stream/water and underground magnetic/mineral courses) of Mother Earth, and could be accessed through things like lightening (electricity/fire), oxygen/air. They used the elements to kindle and use Power, sometimes for genuinely good purposes, sometimes for greed.

The U.S. White House is built with Masonic Sacred Geometry, and situated and oriented to specific directions (the Powers of the Seven Sacred Directions) in order to allow the occupants of the building access to the best and most enlightened forms of thought and action. And . . . . the person occupying the post of President is responsible for his/her own motivations, so those who have been greed and fear based have accessed the Power to do harm, while those who are motivated by Love and Light have accessed the Power to do great good.

Unfortunately, George W. and several of his predecessors have belonged to the "Skull and Bones" club at the ivy league universities, which is an underground club for kids of the Illuminati elitists. They are the world's most rich and powerful families, and they originally gained much of their wealth and power through their ancestors' knowledge from the Masons and Knights who became the Illuminati, and who passed on their knowledge (but not necessarily their wisdom) to their children and grandchildren.

As with most people who are born into wealth and power, instead of earning it, many in these last generations have become corrupted. They feel 'privileged' - that they have a 'right' to have all the wealth and power, and that the rest of humanity is here to serve their needs. They believe themselves to have more knowledge and understanding of the world and how it works than the rest of us do, and they are willing to set up scenarios (including whole economic/health catastrophies) which will support their right to be in control of the rest of us.

These are the people who have formed the New World Order. In 1992 I was watching CNN and an announcer came on, with a video photographer, filming and announcing a meeting of the New World Order in Geneva, Switzerland. He announced names like Kissinger, Bush, DeGaulle and many others. Suddenly the tv screen went black for several seconds, then switched to a commercial, and that reported was never heard from again. . . . and no one ever reported him missing, either.

The New World Order does exist, and it is out for power and control. Announcing it to the world at large can be dangerous, and I don't recommend it. Most who are spiritually-centered already know about it, but choose to live our lives on a totally different level.

I've mentioned our old Native prophecies, and that Beaver Chief (my teacher) said that the day would come when there would be two different dimensions on the Earth? That we who are spiritually-centered would create an environment of peace, beauty and harmony, and that those who lived in greed and fear would create a different dimension of war and chaos . . . and that, eventually, we would become invisible to their dimension and vice versa.

This is what I work toward. Spreading knowledge about the New World Order sometimes causes panic, which just plays into their desire to control. Instead, I just keep plugging away to co-create with others of like mind (like you, Nahi, my community and other students) the world we envision - with love. It is happening. More and more people are waking up and doing the things that need to be done, with or without the support of governments and the elite.

In one way, there is no difference between the New World Order and the rest of us. We, too, have our own pockets of fear and need/greed, only we are trying to see them and ferret them out to replace them with Love. We have access to the same knowledge and wisdom of the Elements, the Sacred Geometry, the use of Symbols and Mathematics, the Powers of the Seven Directions, the Powers of Prayer (invokation and intention), Chant (the Vibration of Sound), Dance (the Vibrations of Rhythm and Movement), Color 9the Spectrum of Light). There are those among the wealthy that believe as we do as well, and are working for the very same things we are.

There's a fine line between ignoring/denying something and being aware of it and refusing to allow it to affect one. I choose the latter course. Whenever something like this comes up, I do my research (on the Internet, in the library, with others like me who are 'in the know'), and, with knowledge, I ask for wisdom through guidance to teach me how to live my life in ways that are least affected by others' manipulations for control.

Most of the time, I'm pretty successful. Occasionally, I get caught up in 'their' traps, and then have to pull myself up short and recognize who I am and my connection to the Great Mystery and All My Relations in order to get myself back on course and Centered. This is a large part of what things like Vision Quest, SunDance, the Medicine Wheel, Dance and Sounding all do for me, and for those of us who practice these ways. And that's why practice is so darned important.

Recently, because I've gotten caught up in my manager's corporate panic (due to the economy, etc.) I've been working 6-7 days per week for a lot less than I used to make working half time. Because of that, I haven't had the time and energy to do my daily practices. Several days ago, I realized that I was feeling depleted and depressed, and somewhat victimized by the circumstances, which haven't been to my choice. In observing all that from the Witness, I decided I NEED to do my practices, whether I'm energized or not at the beginning.

I've started again, and already my energy level has increased, and I am seeing things in a different perspective. It's also giving me the impetus to complete both EarthWays and IIHH's business plans, so we can get the funding we need, and I can leave my job, which no longer satisfies me.

When we learn about things like the Illuminati and New World Order, and see reports of wars and rumors of wars, etc., and feel ourselves succumbing to the energetic vibration of those things, it is our opportunity to seek our own Power through Spirit.

I try to look to the East and use Eagle's eyes to see the larger picture. Then I look to the South and ask Rabbit to show me my fears, and Mouse to show me the details of my personal life so that I can see what I need to do. . . . then I look to the West and ask Bear to help me look inside and see what's coming up that is asking for healing (usually fear in some form), and heal that, so that I can see with Jaguar's eyes and find Balance and Beauty on the Red Road, and then I see the Ancestors and Spirit Guides in the North and ask them to give me the wisdom to change whatever I can within myself and my environment, in order to allow me to live in peace, harmony, abundance and beauty.

Works every time!
