Many people resist the call of the Spirit by immersing themselves in the mechanical daily routine that suppresses the dimension of the sacred. However, the spiritual Light within will emerge eventually even if the call is resisted. Such resistance could result in the spiritual emergence happening through a spiritual emergency like an illness or a crisis. The cover story in this issue explores the process of spiritual awakening in the context of a personal spiritual journey. This journey is an adventure. It is like an archetypal Hero’s Journey. Other topics in this issue include mystic love, a channelling about the transformation of cellular perceptual patterns from Lord Yezu as Leader of the Inter-Galactic Council, the first part of a series on understanding the spiritual significance of numbers, a channelling from Silver Star about the architecture of fear and value of silence, the ten most important things to know about auras, unconscious reactivity and how relaxation unlocks higher perception.

Live Your Light By Amara Rose One of the hallmarks of any spiritual journey is that at some point, you will be asked to surrender who you think you are. The Call seldom comes in an obvious form. For me, the invitation to reawaken to my true essence, to reclaim the sacred feminine within myself, wore a brilliant disguise: debilitating arm pain. I was being asked to lay down my arms, to relinquish all the roles I’d been taught that had enabled me to arm myself against knowing who I am, in order to embrace something I couldn’t outwardly touch. It was a colossal summons. And I wasn’t willing to answer — at least, not without putting the caller on hold a few times, letting it go to voicemail, or pretending I’d erased the message.
I lost the use of my arms for over a year at the start of 1993. The pain had been building for some time but, stoked on my burgeoning marketing communications business, piano lessons, and a ninety-miles-an-hour lifestyle that spelled ‘freedom’ from the drudgery of nine-to-five, I ignored the warning signs. I was too busy; business was too good. So Spirit took over. “Hello!” my angels roared in my ear. “We’ve been trying to get your attention, but you aren’t listening. You’ve mastered being a successful businesswoman; we have other plans for you now.” Suddenly, that was it. I could no longer just get an acupuncture treatment and blithely go back to the keyboard, the one connected to my Mac or to my
04 YSR

electronic piano. I couldn’t slice a carrot. I learned to give the thumbs-up sign in my public speaking class, because clapping my hands sent my shoulders and elbows singing into agony. Arms control. Put down your arms. The metaphors were all so clear. And in laying down my arms, I nestled into the energy of the Infinite, and began to feel that boundless, bountiful love holding me everywhere, always. This was the beginning Emerging Today, I use the archetypal Hero’s Journey as a model in my work, because I lived into it so deeply. My own three-plus year initiation took me from California to rural New York State, later to New Mexico, then back to northern California. It wasn’t until late in the journey that I realized I’d been on an extended vision quest. In other cultures, there is ritual and guidance to help members of the tribe awaken and step fully into their power and purpose. They don’t separate body, mind, emotions and spirit, so when the call comes, they answer it as a matter of course. Since we have no template for spiritual emergence in the West, it tends to become a spiritual emergency. It’s akin to the road signs you see when traveling that read, ‘Emergency Phone.’ Once I saw ‘Emergency Phone,’ and beneath it, ‘Out of Order,’ but my mind read it as, ‘Emergency! Phone out of order!’ If there’s no way to get the help we need when we need it, that’s a real emergency. When this happens on the spiritual path, we’re forced, often subconsciously, to create other doorways. My spiritual emergency took the form of illness. In 3D, it ‘looked like’ I was really sick, and I certainly felt awful for quite a long time. I was dealing with a panoply of strange symptoms, which conventional medicine labels ‘multiple chemical sensitivity.’ Labels limit us, however. Marianne Williamson, author of A Return To Love, says spiritual progress is like a detoxification, and that’s exactly how it was for me, how it is for most of us. We have to clear out the old patterns and habits that no longer serve us in
order to heal. For some people this doorway might be getting married, receiving a degree, relocating, having someone close to them die — or having a baby. The catalyst is anything that breaks us out of our day-to-day routine to reveal the dimension of the sacred. The truth is, we’re always just inches away from claiming ourselves, and it’s the hardest work most of us will ever do. Yet once you begin, once you set the process in motion by stepping onto the transformational path, you’re going to grow. In the final stages, nothing can stop a baby from being born. And we’re all capable of this type of pregnancy, men and women. We are all able to give birth to our true selves. In this sense, a coach is a midwife. I called myself a ‘life purpose midwife’ when I lived in New Mexico, but most people thought I delivered babies. I said, “I help deliver your dreams!” Because I spent many years in corporate America, resisting the call to step fully into my purpose and planetary service, a poem by Lee Carroll Pieper really resonates with me: Many are called But most are frozen In corporate or collective cold These are the stalled Who choose not to be chosen Except to be bought and sold. Now, this doesn’t mean I think you should quit your job tomorrow! It’s more about bringing your full self into full self-expression. The question to ask is, “Am I having a near-life experience?” We talk about near-death experiences, but many of us are having near-life experiences, acting out Thoreau’s “lives of quiet desperation.” I talk about this on my CD. I say, “Ask yourself this question now: am I living by deadlines, or by lifelines?” If you’re living by deadlines rather than by lifelines, you’re living in tension, instead of living your highest intention. On the journey, a deep remembering begins.

Dreams often play a significant role. My dream life became extraordinary, simultaneous with being ‘out of mind.’ I wasn’t sleeping much, so in a sense I’d created a drug-free altered state of reality. When I did sleep, I received messages of what was happening or would happen, though I couldn’t usually decode them at the time. I call it, “What you know before you know that you know.” It’s your impulse to evolve, and you deny it at your own peril, because this is your soul inviting you to claim your destiny. Naturally, this is a little scary. It helps to think of it as an adventure. You have to be willing to say yes, to commit to taking responsibility for your life. Responsibility means the ability to respond. This is the first gift you give yourself. Once you give yourself permission to be passionate, a whole host of support follows from that. Synchronicity and humor are two major tools that helped me understand I was undergoing an inner shift, what one friend dubbed “a watershed experience.” For example, I’ve always had a relationship with my car as a symbol for my body. During this period, someone broke into my car, which had never happened before — but the lock didn’t appear to be jimmied. After I got over the shock, I thought, I’m so out of it these days, maybe I forgot to lock it? And then I realized, something’s unlocking in me! I had also decided to subscribe to a magazine called Parabola, which comes out quarterly and bases each issue on a theme. The theme of the first issue I received, which was right before I left California to move to New York, was titled, ‘The Call.’ There are no coincidences Here’s another example. In the summer of ‘93 I had pneumonia, a major spiritual gateway for me. During this period I faced the idea of death, and understood for the first time that I hadn’t yet served; that is, given my gift to the world. One day soon after
my recovery, I was walking down the street and the San Francisco Examiner delivery truck passed by. Painted on the side of the truck were the words, “And suddenly you understand.”. The Meaning of Resistance It’s radical, thinking and living outside the box, because we’re born into a very either/or world. Everything is black or white, yes or no, very binary — zeros and ones are what pilot our computers! And while technology is a fabulous tool, we’re so much more than binary systems. Holding the both/and, embracing paradox, means stepping outside the ‘this or that’ choices we’re accustomed to, and holding two or more seemingly juxtaposed ideas in mind at once. Can you become chaotically content; can you create raging inner peace? Can you be a work in progress and realize you’re already a masterpiece? For me, resistance was a major stumbling block that I needed to polish into a stepping-stone. When we can relinquish our love of resistance, we become irresistible to our good. Norman Cousins, author of Anatomy Of An Illness, once said, “It’s not just the congestion outside us, of people’s ideas and issues, but our inner congestion that’s hurting us. We gorge the senses and starve the sensitivities.” So this work is about coming to our senses. Beginning to really feel, and to trust what we feel. The key is to bless the fear, because fear is perfectly normal. Just don’t give all your power away to it! It’s the same with difficulties. Our problems are like the irritation from the grain of sand in an oyster. In trying to alleviate the irritation, the oyster spins a pearl. So be grateful for all your challenges, because here’s the opportunity to transform your life. Surrendering to the unknown is a huge step on the spiritual path. Once we say yes, give ourselves permission to be passionate, and enter the void of not knowing what happens next, surrendering is the quantum leap. We do the work that growth requires by enlarging the lens, seeing with clarity. Marcel

Proust wrote, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” We allow our resistance to morph into resilience. One way to release resistance is to do ceremony around it. We’re entering an evolutionary phase that doesn’t exist on present mental road maps. Our individual and collective resistance is like holding a closeout sale on the mind. All of our dearly entrenched beliefs and behavior patterns must be cleared out to make room for the new. I’ve often found it helpful to write down whatever my old agreement or contract was, what’s kept me in bondage, and then burn it over the toilet or by a body of water. You can also shred the paper and bury it in the earth. After doing this, write a new contract in the present tense, “I now create...” and place this where you can see it every day, such as on your refrigerator. The main point to remember is that when we live our light, we use our energy, and when we resist our light, we confuse our energy. So choose to use your energy, or you’ll confuse your energy! Coming Home All of these tools are really memory triggers, because what we need to know is already coded in our cells. The vision quest is a homecoming. A musician friend of mine says we need to “retrue to what’s true,” like aligning the wheels on a bicycle. Most of us know how to be sturdy containers for the negative. By coming home to ourselves, we can turn the garbage into a garden — the first three letters are the same. We can fertilize our future with certified organic thought! Just keep calling on your inner wisdom for guidance. Once you’re free enough of static, you’ll be able to tune in to the frequency of harmony and recognize the messages when they come through. We can all become ‘wide receivers,’ as in football. Get on the same frequency as what’s coming toward you, and you’ll catch it!
By the way, ‘it’ doesn’t care what you call ‘it.’ Living your Light isn’t about being religious, but about having faith in some force, presence or innate intelligence that can help you see more clearly how to live in alignment with your highest good. At various stages in my development, I’ve called on Spirit, God, Jesus, incarnations of the Goddess, and other manifestations of the Creative Principle of the Universe. It’s the Light behind the form that matters. This light shines from every one of us, when we allow it to shine. Often it’s far easier to ‘shop’ — and I know, because I spent my Wonder Years in the shopping malls of Paramus, New Jersey, the shopping capital of the Milky Way! So this is the great teaching and challenge for each of us, every day: to keep choosing the highest, to keep letting our Light shine. Most of us were taught to hide our Light under a basket. That won’t work anymore. We need every single person living his or her truth in order to bring about a quantum shift in consciousness. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, with each of us holding a key piece. Leave just one of us out, and something crucial is missing. I’m reminded of an old country song that went, “You might be the only Bible/Another man ever reads.” You may be the only candle to illumine someone else’s path. It’s my joy to invoke and inspire you to grow beyond what you think is possible — to leap luminously into your full potential as a planetary being of Light! © Amara Rose, all rights reserved www.LiveYourLight.com Amara Rose is a ‘midwife for the soul,’ life purpose coach, non-denominational minister, wisdom circle facilitator, speaker and writer.

Silver Star: The Architecture of Fear and the Value of Silence (This lecture was given to Michael, his partner Jane and friend David, while on a walk during their holiday in the Lake District, UK)
Channelled by Michael G. Reccia. Silver Star: It is always a delight to us when you put in the effort and wish to communicate to others on our behalf. As Michael rightly says, there is always someone willing to talk to you at a moment’s notice and we, metaphysically speaking, drop what we are doing and rush to your side so that we can impart a little more knowledge. What I would like to talk to you about today is the architecture of fear - which is a phrase that has been used by journalists and novelists and TV producers over the decades - and relates to what you saw in the towns you visited today – particularly the last one
this afternoon (ref. to Bowness, which was full of people browsing aimlessly around the tourist shops). All seeking on an earthly level is built out of fear. You gather things towards yourself, you buy things, you select things for your personal life because you feel that you have a hold over them if they come into your possession. And the things that you buy, the things that you choose represent, on a grander scale, the things that you are most involved with on a soul level. If you buy paintings, for example, then you have an artistic flare. In Michael’s case he wishes to own some of the icons of the films and television series that he is so fond of. In Jane’s case it is the dresses and styles of a period of history that she finds important. In David’s case it is the desire to surround
08 YSR
December 2008
himself with spiritual knowledge. And so you buy these things because you are acting on a soul level as though you are the God protecting your children i.e. the aspects of yourself that interest you and so you procure small objects that represent the greater need, the greater involvement and the greater interest.
not having catches up with you, your fear of being unloved and being lonely catches up with you. So they fear, through their architecture of fear and through the construct of fear that they immerse themselves in their lives; they fear stepping outside of that way of life.
But there is also an architecture of fear in that people select things that they fear to lose. They select material things because on a soul level they understand that those things will not be with them for ever. So they have to buy a new car, or new furniture, or new clothes, even when they don’t need them because they are reassuring themselves on a soul level that they are not going to die, that the things that they know on a soul level will run out really aren’t going to, so they surround themselves with material objects.
And yet silence is so sublime. Silence actually heals the molecules of your physical body. Very often serious illnesses occur because the molecules are never at rest. Of course, molecules can never be absolutely at rest per se but they are never at rest from the vibrations that interact with them, so they are constantly jangled. They are constantly moving, they are constantly vibrating at a higher rate, at a quicker rate than they are supposed to. In silence the molecules are at rest, they can repair themselves. Cancers can be avoided by being silent. Great healings can take place by being silent and by sending out the Light or receiving the Light - being silent to receive the Light. Your hospital wards are such noisy places; there are doctors and nurses coming and going, people with food, visitors, and the patient never gets any rest and quiet. It is only in quiet and silence that healing can take place. When we are healing someone, we surround them with a bubble of energy of differing vibration from the earth plane within which silence can reach that person.
People also crowd together - Michael said today, “If only people could be quiet”- but they crowd together because, again to use an earthly term, they believe that there is safety in numbers. If you are part of a crowd, then surely God cannot single you out and kill you and take you away from this level! And so although they may require peace on a soul level and every soul does - they instead seek noise, they seek companionship, they seek sights and sounds on as many different levels as possible so that they feel that they are immersed in life. It is the architecture of fear: they are building a future, as they see it, which is secure - but it is actually based on fear in the present - fear of death, fear of being alone, fear of illness. They feel that if they gather in crowds and if they gather together in their houses objects that represent their greater material dreams, then no harm can come to them. The problem you have with people is that the majority of souls on Earth fear silence. Silence is a void and in silence and quietness you cannot have needs, you only have perception of the silence. But they believe that if you are silent then your fear of death looms large, your fear of loss looms large, your fear of aging catches up with you, your fear of
In silence you sort things out. The mind cannot sort out decisions, cannot sort out problems in clamour because the molecules of the physical brain are going too fast. Only in that bubble of silence can the mind examine itself and the situations that it feels it is in - and in that silence repairs take place, the mind becomes stable and sees the way forward. There are so many voices on this planet at the moment, so much agitation, so many constructs based on fear: listening to music, listening to the television, listening to crowds, listening to each other but never listening to the voice within - the voice that comes from the heart. So your citizens are to be excused for the way
09 YSR
December 2008
that they act as they don’t know any better, but they are not to be excused for not examining a better way, for not saying to themselves “perhaps if I am quiet, then things will change.” They wish to deconstruct their fears, they don’t wish to be afraid of death, or of not having material things, or of loneliness, or of loss. They wish to get rid of the fear but the fear traps them. We would say to those of you reading this or listening to this – give a little of each day to silence. Sit down, initially, and see how many areas of your life bring you noise and clamour and distraction. Switch off your television set, switch off your mobile phone, switch off your radio. You will then be aware of the noise of your fridge, the noise of your air-conditioning system, the noise of your car’s engine. Get away from all these things and be with yourself and with your God for a few moments each day and be not afraid. In silence answers come to you. In silence healing comes to you and in silence you become an instrument that can be used to channel out silence and Light to your brothers and sisters. I have to ask you reading this, listening to this, Are you happy? Look in your mirror as you are surrounded by your noise, by the clamour of your life, by the speed of your life, by your architecture of fear. Are you happy? Is your mouth used to turning upwards in a smile or downwards in a frown? If you are unhappy, if you are uncertain, what is it that is making you unhappy, uncertain, disquiet? Dis-quiet, do you see - not quiet. Maybe you don’t know. Maybe there are so many layers covering your real fear that you only have and carry with you a feeling of unease, dis-ease – again a deliberate word. When you learn to be silent, you learn to tune out fear and, when you strip away your fears and confront them in the silence, then you will find out why you are unhappy. And in most cases you will find that you are not unhappy, that there is a space within you within which you are perfectly happy. It is only the outer trappings, the architecture of fear
that makes you feel this way. You will find that you have a stable centre and that centre cannot be rocked, that centre knows that you are eternal, knows that you are immortal and knows the answer to every problem. By visiting the silence regularly you will come back from those periods of silence with a new determination, with a new reassurance and an ability to look at your troubles from a distance and say, “They do not really exist, they only affect the surface, they are part of the architecture of fear and nothing more.” If you feel that society is serving you well then observe it. Go into your town with a different attitude and say, “today instead of the shops, instead of going to the mall, to the café or the restaurant, I will observe people. ”Take a notebook with you as train-spotters do and put a letter ‘U’ for unhappy on one side and an ‘H’ for happy on the other and then put a tick under each one according to the facial expression of the people you are looking at. Is the person coming towards you happy or unhappy? Do they observe you, do they engage with you, do they look at you soul to soul or are they unhappy? And see at the end of the day, if you think your society works, if you think that your society is providing for you and making you happy and content and stable, see at the end of that exercise how many ticks you have under unhappy and how many ticks you have under happy – weight them up and you will have a very material example of what is going on in people’s minds at the moment. Jesus said, “Be not afraid.”Many of the ‘Lights’ that have been sent to you of their own volition have said “Be not afraid.” There is nothing to fear but fear itself and fear itself is something that you have built into this world. Like anything else that is negative, it does not exist. It was entertaining to see the program this morning examining life after death (reference to a TV program that we were watching in the holiday cottage) with such a surface scratch, such a light touch of the outermost molecules of truth
10 YSR
December 2008
surrounding the subject and saying with great conviction “we know what is happening.” It was striking to see the people who, as you quite rightly said, visited briefly the next level of being and for a short time saw around them the darkness that they had created or drawn towards them (ref. to the examples of people experiencing the Lower Astral). You in the western world know so little about death. Why? Because you spend your time building fear around you to push the notion of death away from you. Even the program that you were watching has a taboo with it – this is scary, this is something we are uneasy with, we don’t want to examine it. Fear prevents you from looking at death and saying “there is nothing there, there is nothing to fear.” And when you go into the silence regularly for longer and longer periods of time, your life changes. You find that you do not wish the company of others who want to bring a collective fear to any gathering of people. You find that you do not need as much materially because you are secure in your beliefs in yourself, in areas of soul magic that you are important in – be that artistic or scientific or spiritual – and you find that you will have no satisfaction in your shopping expeditions, in your communal times when you are in crowds who are listlessly wandering, looking for some kind of salvation in material objects. Your life will change and it will change for the better on one level – on a spiritual level. But on a material level it will make you uncomfortable because the things that once made you comfortable – if only for a short time – will no longer do so and you will feel alienated in your own world, in your own society. That is good! We are not here to make you feel comfortable; we are here to make you feel ‘homesick.’ You do not belong here, you belong in higher realms. You turned your back at one stage in your existence, either ignorantly or by design, on the Light. But the Light has always been there and it is that Light that is glimpsed when people have near death experiences
- glimpsed only because its glory, its majesty, is far beyond what is glimpsed in those few seconds when a soul turns towards the Light and then turns back again (often with such sad results in that when it returns to Earth it wants nothing more but to return to the Light). We are here to unsettle you. If you are comfortable, if you are used to this life, then you are no use to yourselves and are no use to us. We have to make you different because you are different - at a soul level you are different. You should not be here, not constantly. There are other horizons for you, other hills to climb but, before you can climb them, you have to understand that something is wrong. So you need to be brave, you need to say, “The constructs of my life: my house, my car, my furniture, my collections, my so called needs – what are they about? Why do I need to be in a crowd shopping? Why do I need to be in a crowd with an opinion that really isn’t mine? Why do I need so much stuff?” When you start to ask those questions your guides will be with you. We will be with you, to provide the answers but you will not find the answers in clamour. You have to fight against the tide, you have to go within yourself in silence and listen to the silence. Bring your fears into the silence as friends – if you are frightened of death bring your fear of death into the silence with you as a friend. Don’t push it away, examine it and it will melt away because there is nothing there to frighten you. If you fear loss, bring that loss into your silent times; examine that loss, embrace it to your heart until it melts away like the morning dew and you find that there is a sunrise that you never expected. Become used to being silent, to contemplating. There are people on our side of life who will go into periods of contemplation for months (perhaps for years as you measure time on Earth) to get clear in their heart-mind and their spirit-mind just one aspect of God’s universe, to understand themselves better and aspects of the universe better. Months! Years!

Relaxation Unlocks Higher Perception: When Tension Disappears, the Mind Stills By Aaron Murakami Everybody knows it feels better to be relaxed than it does to feel tense. But how many of you know that there is a relationship between tension in the muscles and tension in the mind? To better understand this, it is helpful to be familiar with the concept of Visual Motor Rehearsal. Visual Motor Rehearsal is a mental exercise method that takes advantage of the fact that simply thinking about doing a particular exercise produces measurable electrical activity in the muscles in the same locations as if one were actually doing the physical movement! The brain and nervous system
do not know the difference between doing the exercise mentally and doing the exercise physically. What’s amazing about this is that the reverse is also true. By manipulating the muscles, the mind is influenced; relax the muscles and the mind relaxes. Throughout life, our experiences and our perception of our experiences build up a catalog of habitual responses. When something familiar happens, it’s easier to react to it the same way we did the last time rather than stay fully aware and respond to it as something new. This process creates an unconscious autopilot mode of operating underneath our conscious, reasoning mind. Each thought, emotion, and perception has a
13 YSR
December 2008
corresponding physiological response that is registered in electrical activity in our muscles. When we have experiences that we perceive as stressful, our muscles respond by contracting and creating tension. The body senses these efforts regardless of whether they are intentional and consciously created or totally unintentional and unconsciously produced from our autopilot mind. These tensions, especially the ones produced by our autopilot mind, become a chronic condition or state of being, which usually lasts a lifetime. Every chronic tension in a muscle, no matter how subtle, has an equivalent intention associated with it; and every unconscious intention has a corresponding thought associated with it, as well. If you have ever tried to ‘stop thinking’ in a meditation exercise, you have probably noticed that thoughts in the back of your mind just keep coming up. These thoughts are the ones that are associated with the chronic tensions in your muscles. In order to become aware of the raw data in the collective consciousness, we must be able to remove these pre-programmed intentions and unconscious thoughts from our minds. At the subtle level, these autopilot thoughts are distracting us from noticing information in the greater awareness field and are therefore acting as noise interference. It requires special training to enable us to separate environmental information from our own mental chatter. One such skill is Technical Remote Viewing (TRV). In order to develop a natural, effortless ability to get this noise out of the way without using scientifically developed protocols such as TRV, we must first release the physical tensions that preserve the interfering thoughts that form in the mind. Relaxation, and more specifically muscular relaxation, is one of the most elementary keys to quieting this internal, mental noise. One important thing to recognize is that this noise is not entirely verbal since it is composed of many of our past
reactions and forgotten intentions. Since much of the chronic muscular tension is supported by an oxygen deficient condition in the cells, deep breathing exercises can be a suitable and complementary activity to relaxation techniques. There is an interesting paper published by the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology titled PsiFavorable Conditions. It is a lengthy paper, but it is highly informative concerning the subject at hand. Here is a short quote from the section on Muscular Relaxation: “Relatively early investigations revealed that relaxation seemed to be a reliable characteristic of the percipient in a majority of cases of spontaneous psi (Stevenson, 1970). Reference to the importance of relaxation can be found in the writings of and about nearly all gifted sensitives or psychics (persons who can demonstrate psi repeated and with great accuracy).” In this day and age, many people have taken credit for ‘developing’ or ‘discovering’ the idea of linking thoughts to muscular activity without physical movement, but the first person to measure electrical activity in the muscles when the test subject was simply thinking of moving the muscles was Edmund Jacobson, MD, PhD. These measurements were made with a device that showed the electrical activity from electrodes inserted into the muscles. Later, Bell Labs built a more practical and simple device to Dr. Jacobson’s specifications and it detected activity in the microvolt range through electrodes attached to the body. This research was done in the early 1930s. This is also why Dr. Jacobson is credited with being the Founder of Bio-feedback. Dr. Jacobson’s work convinced him of the direct relationship between deep physical relaxation and psychological balance. He determined that Psychoanalysis was an ineffective therapy and set out to develop a method to produce deep physical relaxation in the body. This work culminated in the development of his landmark relaxation method known as Progressive Relaxation. He wrote a book
14 YSR
December 2008
by the same name in 1938, which was written specifically to inform medical professionals of his discoveries. It included a complete exposition of his methods, theory and other research material. However, four years earlier, in 1934, Dr. Jacobson wrote his more famous volume titled You Must Relax. This book was written to teach the general public about the benefits of relaxation and includes instructions on the basic exercises he developed to produce muscular relaxation. The exercises are a method of targeting specific muscles, tightening them into tension, holding and then releasing. When released, they are relaxed more than they were before tensing them. The idea is to focus on particular muscles for a certain amount of days, and then move on until eventually, anyone practicing them can easily go through the entire sequence. To learn the Progressive Relaxation exercises, you can visit the following website. It presents a very simple tutorial that I would highly recommend to anyone, even if you have no desire to develop psi abilities. http://guidetopsychology.com/pmr.htm The purpose of doing these exercises is to unwind the intentions and thoughts that underlie the physical tension. In that regard, you may notice that the website’s owner suggests that these exercises should be done without any audio prompting because it interferes with the purpose of allowing the mind to become still. There are some audio coaching soundtracks that could be used in order to learn the method, but once you are comfortable with the process it is best to drop the narration and do them on your own. Also, make sure it is okay with your medical doctor to do these muscle-tensing exercises. In 1950, a profoundly forward-thinking individual named Harold S. Schroeppel began an indepth and formal study of what was required to release human telepathic abilities. In 1953, he wrote a paper called The How of Telepathy in which he laid out the evidence of his discoveries, as well as a
vision of the evolution of human awareness. In 1960, Schroeppel founded a school to teach these methods called the Institute for Advanced Perception. Based on 10 years of work involving thousands of voluntary test subjects, Schroeppel was able to compile a very specific curriculum of lessons, which if practiced in the intended order, produced dramatic results. The very first lesson in this training was called Effort, which was a powerful application of the tension and relaxation exercises first suggested by Dr. Jacobson. But here, the exercise is specifically designed to clear out muscle tensions and reactions in order to allow a person to start quieting the mind so they can perceive things more clearly. This appears to be the very first mind power training course that actually made full use of Edmund Jacobson’s relaxation methods in order to develop and enhance psi abilities. The following quote by Harold Schroeppel, taken from The How of Telepathy, clearly explains why the benefits of the relaxation exercises are so necessary for the development of advanced perception: “If you have no thought, emotion, effort, pain or confusion stored in your own body, then any thought, emotion, effort, pain, or confusion of which you are aware is someone else’s." The purpose of the relaxation exercises is to release the efforts, emotions, and pain that are stored in the muscles. When this is accomplished, a sense of expanded perception naturally opens up. Harold Schroeppel taught this training at the Institute for Advanced Perception from 1960 until the late 1980s. It was called the Lessons in Advanced Perception. To make sure that Harold Schroeppel’s discoveries are not lost to the past, all of his writings have been compiled, and are now available to the public in a single digital download. If you are interested in what lies beyond the normal limits of human perception, you can learn more about this phenomenal training at the following website: http://lessonsinadvancedperception.com

Modern life seems to keep us busy and stressed all of the time. So we have little time to relax and enjoy life's deeper meanings. But now, the latest discoveries show that chronic muscle tension actually clouds the mind with unnecessary thoughts and that this automatic mental activity blocks greater perceptual ability. Many people have advocated that Peace will only come to the world when each individual becomes Peaceful within. Unfortunately, becoming Peaceful ourselves has seemed an illusive goal. With this new information on the benefits of deep muscular relaxation, we may finally be starting to understand how to make this reality our own.

MYSTIC LOVE By Devrah Laval At this time of the year, our thoughts turn to a higher love, as we celebrate the life of Jesus Christ, one of the great mystics. To most of us, ‘mystic’ implies s o m e t h i n g o t h e r w o r l d l y, unattainable, beyond the reach of the average person. But what is mysticism? Noted philosopher and theologian, Evelyn Underhill, defines it as “the science of ultimates, the science of union with the Absolute, and nothing else…the mystic is the person who attains to this union, not the person who talks about it.” Ms. Underhill alludes to a common theme in mysticism, Oneness with all of Reality. In a sense we are all aspiring mystics because, consciously or
unconsciously, we are all in pursuit of a deeper purpose and meaning in this existence. Christian mystic, Teilhard de Chardin expresses this eloquently: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” The great mystics and saints from every religion are all here to remind us that we are spiritual beings, not simply body-mind organisms, and that Love is the key to Who We Really Are. Why is this message so difficult for us to live by? What stops us from thinking, living, and loving like mystics? Most spiritual teachers say that our unquestioning faith and belief in outer appearances trap us and prevent us from abiding in our natural Divine state. The world of appearances reflects to us
17 YSR

only learned beliefs, which are based on the limitations of time, culture and relationships. However, our mystic self sees the world as a limitless expression of boundless Love. Such a perception is often misunderstood and might even be a threat to those who wish to maintain their illusion of separateness. The mystic falls in love with the formless Reality that emanates a Love far greater than anything that we can experience in human relationships. Mystics love for Love’s own sake, not for personal gain. In response to her mother’s wish for her to marry a mortal man, Akkamahadevi, an Indian saint and poet, wrote, “I have fallen in love, oh mother, with the Beautiful One who knows no birth and knows no fear.” Akkamahadevi transcended the illusion of surface appearances and discovered the ecstasy of Divine Love. How can we take a step closer to this Divine Love that masters like Jesus and Buddha tell us is our birthright? How can we challenge our attraction to outer appearances and return home to our true nature? Where do we start? When we remember that we are spiritual beings, that all of us are Divine beings of absolute Love, we can acknowledge this truth in each other. A teacher I had many years ago, Yogeshwar Muni, said that our greatest suffering comes from not being seen as Divine beings, whether we are aware of this consciously or not. Since we all come from the same Source and we are all ultimately returning to that same Source, when we meet another on this journey of life, the greatest gift that we can give is to see him or her as Divine. To dissolve the illusion of appearances and to reclaim our mystic self, an exercise that we can practise, not just during this special holiday but on a daily basis, is to silently greet everyone that we meet, regardless of who they are, with the words, “Thank you, God, for coming to me in this form.” In this way, we can live what all of the great religions are trying to teach us. Think of how many family feuds could be curtailed and how many wars could be averted by this simple shift in perception. Think of how the world
would change if we saw our differences in appearance, ideas and behaviour as expressions of the Divine Love and Oneness that we all are. When we see through the eyes of a mystic, we go beyond our limited human experience and come into contact with our true nature – Love. Transcending Outer Appearances (Unravelling the Costume) Oh such sorrow to be human To try and fill a mould, a box, an image. Oh such sorrow To be caught in the worldly web
Let me throw myself down at your feet So you can erase all those false notions I have Make me remember, for I have forgotten And have fallen victim of this costume that I wear Make me remember my oneness with you Merge me forever into your infinite love Dissolve me into you forever Never to return again to the great sleep.

UNDERSTANDING NUMBERS – Part One By Divyaa Kummar THE MAGIC OF NUMBER 1 The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create. - Leonard I. Sweet One is symbolized by the sun! And has within it the power and force to make nothing into something. Its success is in its will to be; in its boldness of purpose, and most of all in its individuality and single mindedness of being. For at deeper levels, at 1, there is no other. Conjure in your mind’s eye, what it is like when everything is one. There are no others to consider or align with, no differences, and that is why number 1 people are self-willed. And yet it is because of this, unfettered as they are by any such dissipation of its energies, that the 1, geometrically symbolized as a point (of pure brilliance), can burst into becoming everything – and this is the raw energy number 1 people have, including the
tendency to be bold, original and dynamic. Action and impetus, another characteristic of number 1 people, arises from this clarity, for clearness of purpose automatically leads to confident action, which but naturally leads to success and thus can number 1 people be easily successful if they utilize their strengths! Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways, befitting your unique station in life. Thus the above mentioned dynamic energy of 1, in imbalance can be its flipside: dictatorial, impatient, intolerant, and selfish with an arrogant and almost aggressive me first attitude! Other influences: As the first zodiac sign, all Aries people have a touch of 1 in them and all one’s have a touch of Aries! It is a masculine number and can be aggressive and assertive and yet inspiring, enterprising and endowed with leadership qualities. In tarot the Magician, Wheel of Fortune and the Sun

card hold the one’s energies – guiding all ‘one’s to tap into their potential and manifest smoothly like the magicians they can be; to ride the wheel of momentum without losing their centre point of balance, and shine like the sun that symbolizes them! Sun-like ‘one’s can be generous indeed. The risk they run is that 1 energy, in spite of its potency is pure potential, and like sperm it needs to be earthed into proper channels to produce tangibly rather than get frittered away! As the first number, 1 is about new beginnings, either of a cycle, or a stage in life. It can be a new birthing, and yet like the seed inherently has the tree within, this beginning if well utilized has both the goal and its achievement intact within it! You are a number 1 person if you are born on the 1st, 10th, 19th of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day, month and year) adds to a 1. Its energies also play out in your life if your name totals 1 numerologically THE PARADOX OF NUMBER 2 The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things. Lao Tzu ‘Two’s are the moody blues, symbolized by the waning and waxing moon! Yet like the moon can light up the night sky, ‘two’s have intuitive wisdom about matters unknown and unseen. And as the absolute unqualified 1 becomes ‘another’ in 2, to see, seek and know itself better, two’s very purpose to exist is this yearning to know self; and to seek this through another, in relationship! Divinity, for them is indeed mirrored in the face of a beloved - be it the significant other or friend, family or god! Come conjure with me the paradox of being number 2 - as an extension of number 1, ‘two’s inherently long to unite and yet this seeming separation and duality is its reason to be! In this polarization, ‘two’s need to explore both currents -
opposites and choices and yet come together in unified action and integration rather than weaken self through conflict, confusion and opposition! This balance when arrived at can become one of their biggest strengths! A clue: Practice lightness and interplay rather than ‘this or that’ for 2 extends the original impulse of 1, and thus tends to be very intense! Tap into the deep reservoir of unconscious wisdom, but don’t get lost in the illusion, hidden depths and secrets which are part of number 2 as the foray into duality and Maya! A balanced 2 energy is harmonious, cooperative, sensitive, flexible, wise and receptive. They have a great passive (feminine) power, indeed far more resilient and durable than the more overt power of 1! They work very well behind the scenes, and often bring alive the adage “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” In imbalance ‘two’s can instead be scheming, overly sensitive, resentfully resisting, fault-finding, disapproving, interfering and forever vacillating undecided and indeed inactive! Other influences: Taurus, the second zodiac sign bestows on ‘two’s their love for beautiful and fine things; the Moon imparts its deep emotions and tug to their past. Tarot’s High Priestess is especially symbolic, describing two’s deeply hidden and penetrating powers, wisdom and patience; yet when she is ‘reversed’ she warns that moods and manipulation can be part of 2. The Judgment card promises ‘two’s a constant awakening to higher states of being, fulfilling their infinite potential as High Priestess; but it is the Justice card that stands in between as the bridge, guiding them to use its balanced equilibrium and objectivity towards making all that is possible and probable real! You are number 2 if you are born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day, month and year) adds to a 2. Its energies also play out in your life if your name totals 2 numerologically. THE AMALGAMATION/SYNTHESIS OF NUMBER 3
20 YSR
December 2008
As long as men have existed, man has enjoyed himself too little; that alone is our original sin. Friedrich Nietzsche Three arising from the merger of 1 and 2 is a number of syntheses - harmoniously coming together, blending and creating anew! When any two forces come together a unique third is created – and like any new born, it must grow in individual ways! Thus do ‘three’s vibrate to Jupiter the planet of growth, expansion and movement, which bestows on them their love for travel and freedom of thought, speech, and action. Indeed 3 is known as the number of first perfection, because it is here that the impulse of 1, explored by 2, first takes tangible form (geometrically the triangle) making ‘three’s innovative and enterprising! Many ancient cultures only had names for numbers 1 and 2 with 3 onwards just being labeled ‘more,’ and this plays out in their life as their love for success and the good things in life! Come conjure with me the climax of number 3 as the tension of 1 and 2 is released in their union and actual birthing of what was only potential. Thus 3 is a number of passion and manifestation - the number of creation indeed - with ‘three’s usually being optimistic and cheerful and known to benefit from (and easily attract) the opposite sex! Yet deep within them they have the ambition and drive of 1 and the innate wisdom of 2 making them straddle both worlds: the material and spiritual!
be part of 3. The Hangman promises ‘three’s higher states of being if they tap within, and reversed it shows you the flip side of the altered world through artificial means; with the World card whispering to them that they can indeed have it all and create heaven on earth if they choose; yet it is by remaining connected within and detached externally that they will truly enjoy their success and not get trapped instead! You are number 3 if you are born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day, month and year) adds to a 3. Its energies also play out in your life if your name totals 3 numerologically. © Divyaa Kummar, all rights reserved http://www.divyaakummar.com Divyaa Kummar, from Mumbai, India, is a spiritual facilitator reaching out through discourses, writings, tarot workshops, personal energy sessions, and meditation groups blending ancient dhyana and tantra techniques with a more current approach.
A balanced 3 energy is creative, imaginative, expressive; joyful, harmonious and tolerant; truthful, enterprising and growth oriented and yet in imbalance it can swing to being jealous, aggressive, egoistic, impractical, scattered, exaggerating, volatile and spendthrift! Other influences: Gemini, the third zodiac sign, bestows on ‘three’s their wit and quick mind and Venus imbues them with its magnetism, love of form and beauty! Tarot’s Empress symbolizes their connection to nature and ability to create and enjoy abundance; yet ‘reversed’ she warns that excess can

Unconscious Reactivity By Christopher A. Pinckley In the grand scheme of things, the goal is to actualize total consciousness while retaining physical human form. It’s a bit of work, to say the least. However, in the meantime, my suggestion is to claim little bits of consciousness here and there along the way that will enhance your day to day existence. Suffering The root of suffering is seen as resistance to what is. You could take that a step further though, and realize that it is resistance to your reaction to what is. In other words, your pain is the result of resisting your natural emotional reaction to what is transpiring in this moment. Emotions, of themselves
do not create pain, but resisting emotions creates intense suffering. Internalizing Emotions This would not be so bad by itself if we simply suffered for a few moments from resisting our natural need and instinct to express ourselves in the moment. What really creates problems is when we continue to resist our natural emotional expression. This is called repressing or internalizing our emotions. In this space, you are now in the process of creating future pain for yourself from this moment. The more deep the repressed emotional energy, the more likelihood that it will create emotional pain further into the future. Acting Out Internalized Emotions If you pay attention in your life to the cyclical
22 YSR
December 2008
nature of the way you do things, you can begin to uncover deeply internalized emotional pain. For example, you may notice that on certain days of the week you have a tendency to feel a certain way and then follow it up with a certain type of behavior. Your internalized emotions may have become magnetic to certain people, places, and circumstances. In this space of being magnetic to things based upon your emotional wounds, you have become unconscious. Unconsciousness The basis of unconsciousness is the inability to see yourself. Conversely, total consciousness is the ability to completely see every thought, word, and/or deed before it manifests, thus giving you total control over your Reality Creation. There are various levels of consciousness and corresponding levels of unconscious reactivity. Until a spiritual awakening is called for, most people will lead largely unconscious lives. Until then, however, the individual will not retain the ability to see how they are creating their own reality.
Perhaps better examples of this are from the people that we are closest to. These are the people that don’t just have one button, but usually hold an entire remote control to our unconscious reactivity. Here is where we have a real opportunity to see how unconscious we really are. The Mirror The intimate relationship exists as the ultimate mirror for our own unconscious reactivity. This significant other person can really show us where our unconscious lies. What is your biggest problem with your partner? This is most likely also your own biggest unconscious emotional wound asking to be healed. How they make you feel is actually what you need to let go of. In actuality, nobody can make you feel anything; they can only show you what you have already internalized.
It could be perceived as almost more painful for the individual who has just had their spiritual catalyst for awakening, as far as awareness is concerned. At this level, the individual begins to intellectualize that they are creating their reality, but still does not possess the means to alter it. They will still create from an unconscious level because they have not yet begun to do the work that will help them to embody the process of becoming conscious.
Each person within your life exists as a mirroring facet of yourself. You will draw to yourself people that you enjoy, people that you are okay with, and those who annoy you. Each and every one of these people is a facet of your own beingness, waiting to be integrated into wholeness. As you heal your unconscious, many of these people will fade out of your life as they will no longer be magnetized to the particular emotional wound that you were harboring. And, some new people may come into your life as a result of this as well. Healing the unconscious will shift your vibrational magnetism, which is another way of saying that you will see the world differently.
The Push Button Life
Emotional Release Exercise
In an extremely unconscious state, individuals take on a ‘push-botton’ quality to their life. In this state any person, place, or thing can be the stimulus for an unconsciously reactive response. In other words, the simple act of having a car pull in front of them in traffic can stimulate them into an unconscious act of aggression. Someone brushing their elbow in the supermarket or being slow in line can trigger an angry glare.
Close your eyes, sit comfortably in a quiet place, and begin to breathe and relax. Now, ask yourself the following questions: 1) What is bothering me the most right now? 2) Could I allow this to be here with me now? 3) Could I allow myself to go deeply into this thought, feeling, or image?
23 YSR
December 2008
4) Could I let this go? Now, just sit and be with this for a moment, then you may repeat this as many times as you feel is necessary. As you do this process, different things may come up for release at different times. Let yourself be taken on a journey, do not judge it, just let it all go. Š Christopher A.

The Ten Most Important Things to Know About Auras By Rose Rosetree Whether you are a sophisticated aura reader or simply curious, I have got a list for you! After you go through these 10 most important things, count up how many are new to you. This short list could change your life. 1. Not Just Color How often have you heard misleading phrases like, “See auras” and “See the colors?” I’ve successfully taught aura reading to thousands of people, on three continents, and I’m here to tell you that many folks never see
colors at all. Nevertheless, they can become superb aura readers. When people do see colors, it is usually only a small part of the information that they receive. Not so for some really famous aura readers, like Sylvia Browne, Doreen Virtue, and Barbara Brennan - but maybe one reason they are so famous is that their gift sets match what people expect. Ladies, do you believe that there is only one way for you to be beautiful? Where is it written that nobody will look at you twice unless you are tall and skinny, blonde and busty? That kind of myth helps nobody.
25 YSR

Guys, you get your share of pressures, too. Does your value in life depend on how close you can come to looking like Swooney Clooney? There’s just one George Clooney, and he isn’t you. (Somehow you have managed to get over this. I just know it). Well, there are plenty of ways to be gorgeous - and powerful - as an aura reader. A good teacher will help you to read auras as yourself, not trying to copy anyone else. 2. Not Just Vibe Is it aura reading when you get ‘good vibrations’ about somebody? Sure, it’s a start. However, vibe-reading isn’t quite the same thing as literacy. Back in the day, before you could read words on a page, you could look at somebody’s handwritten note and decide if it looked good or bad or pretty or scary. In a way that’s informative, but why stop there? Unless you developed more literacy than that, you wouldn’t be able to read the words here. Think for a moment about the difference between getting a vague impression versus actually reading. So much knowledge comes to you because you learned how to read words. If you can do that, you can learn this other kind of literacy. You can learn to read auras in depth and detail. 3. Real Bodies Your physical body is surrounded by layers of subtle body, made of electromagnetic energy and full of information. I like to say that, having all these layers, you are just like an onion. Only you smell better. These energy layers make up your aura, so it is physical, only in a metaphysical way.
Once you appreciate that auras are 3D energy bodies, you’ll understand why it’s so limiting to think of them just as colors. How would you feel if someone came into the room where you are right now, looked you up and down, and saw only colors? Sure, there are colors in your skin, hair, and eyes, but do you want to be judged only by that? Hundreds of Databanks Ever hear that an aura contains chakras? It’s true. Spiritually literate people have been reading chakras for 10,000 years. In fact the word ‘chakra’ comes from ancient Sanskrit. And it means that every human aura contains major and minor data centers, like the heart chakra, the throat chakra, etc. A recent discovery about chakras is reported in my latest how-to book, Cut Cords of Attachment. Every major chakra contains 50 different databanks of information. Yes, that’s a lot of data, isn’t it? Whatever your curiosity, certain databanks can give you really practical, accurate information - whether you want to learn about character, emotions, health, consumer concerns, or more. Reading these databanks in auras isn’t weird or other-worldly. It’s a vital survival skill for the 21st century. Once you find a teacher who can help you to find your way in to this information, reading auras is easy and fun. Sometimes even funny! 4. Hidden Gifts Every databank in your aura contains two types of information: gifts and ‘stuff.’ For instance, you have a databank in your solar plexus chakra (at your ribcage) that I call
26 YSR
December 2008
“Personal Power When It Counts.” When you’re emotionally invested in a relationship, how do you handle conflict? That’s different from your solar plexus databank about “Power When at Work.” In each databank, you have a gift of your soul. This is permanent, like a fingerprint. It’s validating to learn about your gifts. Do you tend to be fair, kind, forgiving, or naturally assertive? Building from your strengths is smart. By learning about your innate gifts, you can find enormous validation for your natural way of doing things. 5. Stuff Yes, that’s one of my technical terms. ‘Stuff’ means things that distort the gifts of your soul. ‘Stuff’ could be dysfunctional patterns learned in childhood, coping mechanisms of all kinds, stuck fear or pain, even things added into your aura like ‘mix-in’s put into ice cream at some dessert restaurants. Instead of M&Ms or cashews, your aura could contain cords of attachment, negative thought forms, or other forms of astral debris. But here’s the important part. Stuff can always be released. Always! I say this as someone who regularly does phone sessions of Energy Spirituality, moving out stuff permanently. And I’m hardly the only healer in the world. 6. Smart Consumers Read Auras Have you ever gone to a non-doctor doctor? In America, appointments to holistic healers began to outnumber physician visits in 1997, well before the start of this millennium. Your favorite healer might do chiropractic, Healing Touch, Reiki, massage, shiatsu - anything from
acupuncture to z-cupuncture (okay, I made that one up). What do all these healing methods have in common? They mostly align your aura. All the benefits to your body are a kind of mind-bodyspirit side effect. So many doctors, so little time. How can you tell which practitioner really helps you? Read your own aura before and after the treatment. This is just one way that aura reading is indispensible for a consumer. Reading auras, you can taste fruit before you buy it. And never again will you buy those pricey roses that droop once you bring them home. Flowers like that may look pretty on the surface, but their auras are puny. That’s why they die so fast. Get your money’s worth. For the same price, you could buy flowers that are aurically radiant. 7. Your Perfect Gift Set Ever since you’ve been born, you have owned a perfect set of gifts for reading auras. That probably isn't 100% about seeing colors. No problem! You don’t have to be visual in a particular way to succeed as an aura reader. And I’d urge you to strongly question any ‘teacher’ who has led you to believe that success requires that you be anything other than who you naturally are. Having to ‘work at’ aura reading is a pathetic misunderstanding. A teacher who asks you to work hard in order to read auras has failed you. Also, if you have been waiting to get rid of a ‘block’ that keeps you from seeing auras, consider that you don’t have any block at all. Learn techniques that use the gifts you have. In Aura Reading Through All Your Senses, I list a
27 YSR
December 2008
whole table of techniques at the front because the book contains over a hundred of them.
Just how practical is the information from reading auras? It could save your life.
However you approach auras, give yourself the benefit of a variety of techniques. Even talented people need this. Practical techniques have helped you to read, and write, to play any sport or musical instrument, to use a spoon, to shampoo your hair. Why should aura reading be any different?
Sometimes companies hire me to do personnel profiles. I’ll point out when a job applicant’s aura shows a tendency to deception, cruelty, even violence.
8. Regular Photos Are Fine Have you ever seen colorful aura photos? They’re sold at psychic fairs. Some people say that you need a photo like this to read an aura. Ridiculous! I can teach you to read auras from regular photos, Internet photos, cell phone photos. You can read auras when you watch TV or movies. (Finally, the mystery of screen chemistry solved!) Read auras whenever and wherever you like. It isn’t rocket science, trust me. Because aura reading is so portable and practical, it may be the most useful hologram of the soul that you can read. For astrology, you need a birth time. For handwriting analysis, you must have a written sample. For face reading (another of my specialties, something I dearly love doing), you need a decent frontal photo. Just yesterday, a reporter sent me a celebrity photo to read and the guy’s face was almost completely covered by a football helmet. Sure, I could have read his aura, but for a face reading I had to beg her to supply a different picture. Once you find your way in, you’ll be amazed how much you can learn by reading auras from photographs. 9. Practical Insights
Reading auras, in person or from photos, you can do three different lie detector tests. Might there be a problem with alcohol or drugs? That shows clearly in an aura, too. What else? You can even preview a lover sexually. This is accurate information, folks. And those who scoff just don’t get it. 10. Glorious Service Whatever kind of work you do, you can help people more by reading their auras. Use any aura reading technique that works for you. For some people, aura reading is about psychic flash, but it doesn’t have to be. Personally, I use aura reading as a technique for spiritual development. When you can read people deeper, don’t you think that might change the way you relate to their Source? It’s glorious, too, reading your own aura. You discover your own gifts of the soul. (Just because you have them doesn’t mean that you’ve known about them consciously.) Use aura reading to move into all your gifts more fully. You’ll respect yourself more, be yourself better. Aura reading, for me, is as indispensable as the other kind of literacy, the kind you and I are using right now. There’s no more accurate, or easier, way to find the good in people. Gifts of the soul are

encoded in auras. Not only can you read them in grown-ups or kids, you can start reading them right from pregnancy, when a baby's aura blends with the mother's aura. This, of course, is why pregnant women glow. Yes, you can read anyone’s gifts of the soul. Sometimes, you will find problems. But I promise you this. Whatever you find in those fascinating databanks, the very act of reading auras can wake you up to awe, to wonder and to glorious service. © Rose Rosetree, all rights reserved http://www.rose-rosetree.com Rose is America’s leading expert at Deeper Perception, with unique systems of Face Reading, Aura Reading and Skills for Empaths.

This new wave of energy comes in for one specific purpose. It is not here to aid the Earth. It is here to aid individual human beings living on this Earth. They come to aid you. Their direction is focused upon removing cellular perceptual patterns. Let us understand what seems to be a very complicated term: cellular perceptual patterns. For thousands of years your cells have undergone changes and transformations. Each time the human
cell transmuted, transformed into something different, it carried with it the energy of its past belief and its past experience. We are not talking of energy, we are not talking of anything that could be intangible; we are talking about the very tangible, dense, solidified human cell. As the cellular structure physically changed and transformed, its energy component did not release the past memories of experiences and events. With each transformation, the cellular structure began to embrace and invite in energies of a far finer vibration than the earlier energy. But, again we reiterate, the energy component of past events did not release itself from the structure. Due to this, the fine energies that came into the new cellular
30 YSR

structure combined with the energies of past memories and heightened the perception of these memories, thereby making the past even more real for you. Why was it necessary to make the past more real for you? The only way you can release the hold of a past memory is to make it so real for you in the present that you can actually, physically, tangibly touch it, experience it all over again. Let us take an example: in X’s life, you have had the experience of impoverishment: utter scarcity of even the most essential commodities of life. You were caught in the grip of survival, at its most basic level. That experience was over in a very, very, very distant past, but the energy generated by that event was held within your cellular structure. Over time, your cellular structure has transformed several times, opening itself up to energies whose vibrations have been very, very, very fine. But the energies released by this past event co-exist with these fine vibrations in that same cellular structure. That event, when it mingles with the new vibratory energies, becomes now a present day experience in order for you to release the energy of that past. The present experience is for no learning process of the Now. It is only for the purpose of releasing the past energies still held in your cellular structure. This is aided by the new energies and their vibrations. So when you re-experience scarcity, it will be experienced even as you have at your command the new energies and their vibrations, which you can use to understand that poverty does not exist. Poverty as a ‘truth’ in the universe does not exist. Once that is understood, the cellular perceptual pattern changes. The understanding of the non-reality of poverty instantly shifts the energy of that past event, and the fullness of new energies and their vibrations takes over the old energy. That is assimilation. The two energies don’t co-exist as two energies anymore. So when we’re going through the process what do
we do? When you are going through the process, you work with the new energies and their vibrations, which are in your cellular structure, in order to understand that the process is only an ‘Earth’ process and it is non-real in terms of the universe. Most difficult, we accede. We will not take away the effort and the honor of the effort that you have to make in order to release this. This wave of the new vibratory energies changes the cellular structure in a manner it has never been changed before. The earlier transformations of the cellular structure created a structure that could hold the new vibrations and the old energies of memory. The new cellular structure is one that will remove the past cellular perceptual patterns. In the transformation of the cell, the cellular perception will shift without their needing to be re-experienced. The earlier shifts facilitated re-experience of the past as a present; this cellular transformation does away with re-experience. As the cells in the human body begin to change (and we are talking again of actual physical changes that can be quantified, measured and seen; we are making no claims of abstract, non-quantifiable, nonprovable energy work. We are now talking of shifts and changes in the human cell which scientists will be able to see clearly in the next very, very few years.), there will be no place for the energies of past events. Your perceptions of today are very strongly influenced by the cellular perceptual energy that exists within the transformed cell of the past. So your (to a sitter) fear of poverty has no reality in the Now. Its perception, your definition and your reaction to it comes from a past so distant that it does not even have a relationship to present time, in linear terms. So why are you here? The 3 vital centers that have been opened within you, give you the first surge of the energy. You are our experiment. You

will be kept a very close watch on for the next 45 to 65 days, depending on each individual structure. How you react to this energy physically will help us to modify this energy, if it needs to be, for the rest of humanity. There are groups, like you, whom we have called ‘study groups.’ We have 136 such study groups. Each person in the 136 study groups has been chosen with care for there is not one person, in these 136 groups, whose energy structures are alike. Each one of the members of each one of the 136 groups represents a different kind of energy structure. You, (to one sitter) for example, are a sample of an energy structure that exists in humanity as a whole. If you react in a certain manner, the group that you represent will react in that manner, the energy structures being similar. Before this energy can be introduced into the human body on a scale which will make it impossible for us to retract the energy, it has to be experimented upon, for this is the first time that the human cell is changing to a level where cellular perceptual patterns will be eradicated completely. Why are we moving with such caution? Cellular perceptual patterns have become ingrained in the cellular lining. To remove the energy of this pattern must cause some trauma, physical trauma, in the cell itself. We need physically strong human beings, emotionally balanced human beings and spiritually conscious human beings with whom we can experiment. This experiment will proceed for the next 45 to 65 days, depending on the structures, and you will be closely monitored. Your every shift, which you may not be aware of, we, of the InterGalactic Council, will come to know of at once. As the cellular structures change, there may be fluctuations in blood pressure, in sugar levels, in energy levels, physical fatigue and exhaustion. As the cellular lining begins to change and shift, your body, because it is not used to this energy, will consider this as a ‘virus’ that is within it and will initially begin to fight it. Of course, it will not be
possible to throw it out and very soon, your body will assimilate it. As the cellular structure becomes more and more complete, your body will assimilate this energy. What can you expect after the shift? One of the most wondrous experiences that you have had. Past events will start loosening their hold over you. We deliberately call them the ‘past’ because it is not a current reality; it is only a current real-ization of a past event. Past events will loosen their hold because cellular structures cannot hold on to this energy. This will take place gradually. You will still, for a while, live through the current realization of past events, but they will stop affecting you, at any level of your consciousness. That will be the first shift. This detachment from the past event will lead to the event now not drawing its power from you and therefore fading into nothingness. You must understand that current realizations of past events draw their power from you, so when you are caught in the event, and you are reacting to the event, you are empowering the event. Now you will experience the event and still have no perceptual reality of the event so there will be no thought attached, no feeling attached, no reaction attached to it. It will be as mundane an activity as, let us say, brushing your teeth. That is the shift that will take place, and when that event gets no fuel from your power, it will have nothing to stay alive on, and will start fading into nothingness. But that will take place after the cellular shift is complete. There is a reason why you are being made consciously aware of this shift. The more your friends and your families are made aware that this cellular shift is soon coming to all of humanity, as a whole, the easier it will be for this energy to work, for human constitutions will then not consider this energy as an ‘attack’. We wish this transition to be smooth. We would like the human body to shift and change smoothly rather than through a huge cathartic process.

can accept this knowledge, and talk about it to different people, in different ways, in ways in which each one will understand, from the medical person to the engineer to the lawyer to the spirit analyst. You must speak about it to all in words they will understand for it is important that this message reaches all. When you have to speak to a man of reason and intellect and analysis and logic, you must use words that he will comprehend, that he will believe because it is in his belief that his human energy will ready itself to accept the cellular change. We honour humanity and we honour you as being healthy enough to withstand this process and to aid us in this very, very important time. Without the study group, the Inter-Galactic Council, at present, would be lost for we cannot experiment on ourselves; we do not have the energy structures required, we do not have the human cellular framework required. We’ve been told that as the new energies come in the DNA is going to be changing, the blueprint is redundant. The DNA shift will be related to the physical cellular shift, for the DNA has incorrectly been understood as an energy shift. The DNA shift is a purely physical transformation, related directly to the cellular shift. Now let us come to the next part of the question about the blueprint and the restructuring of the moment. It is to be understood in clarity for this truly is the crux of the new energy. Cellular perceptual patterns will be erased. As they are erased, present realization of past events becomes hazy and fades into nothingness. As they disappear, all that you are left with is current reality alone: NOW! This moment of NOW; not a reenactment of a past moment. Each one of humanity alive and present in this moment of NOW, was aware of this moment in its potential form at the time of birth, at the time of blueprint presentation. Keeping in mind this potential reality that could take place, the blueprint was prepared with vital care. Within that blueprint, within the existing blueprint, you
have placed a crossroad, that as soon as that potential reality came true, you would shift into the second channel of the blueprint instantly, as will each one all over the globe. The second channel of the blueprint holds knowledge of the next step of your soul. If, for example, her soul’s next step is to understand the process of harmony in relationships, the second channel of the blueprint will now focus only upon the next step and give her all the experiences to move into the next step. Simultaneously, her cellular structure gives her the ability to re-structure the current reality, in the NOW, without any past baggage being brought into this reality. We do appreciate there is some confusion here, but bear with us; we will give you examples. So let us assume, for the sake of this example only, that her soul has chosen its next step the learning and dissemination of relationship harmony. She also carries baggage with relationships from past. Those relationships that she has had disharmony with, will fall away. This means that the relationships will not go, but she will, in no way, be attached to them. In that sense, there will be no relationship disharmony at all. There will be a complete awareness of those relationships and how they function. Thus she moves into the second phase of that channel without any baggage of the past events. Now she opens herself to relationship harmony and her soul begins to create encounters for her with different people, which, in fact, teach her about harmony, not disharmony. There might be a person who will enter her relationship ambit with whom she could have a slight friction first, in order to harmonize. But because that past event energy does not exist in her cellular structure, she will move into harmony very easily; whereas in the past she would have moved into the event of the past. She will restructure the conflict into harmony. Thus what each one will restructure will depend upon the next step of your soul. How will we know what?

Intellectually, you will not. But when more and more experiences of relationship harmony come to her, there will suddenly be one moment of understanding ‘Aha! This is the next phase of my soul.’ You must be alert to the experiences that keep coming to you in repetition. As you complete one sphere, the soul will automatically move into its next and its next and into its next and your experiences and encounters, from time to time, will shift and change. But it will now all happen in a positive manner (to use your terms) and not through the negation of the positive. Did we volunteer to go through this ‘experiment’ or were we chosen? Of course! You volunteered to go through whatever discomfort there needs to be for the larger goal that humanity does not need to go through it. So 65 days later, we’ll be new and then humanity will have to go through it. Absolutely right! And then, when that process starts for the rest of humanity, you will be there to help them, guide them, hold their hands, if there are still certain uncomfortable sensations that others go through, for you will be aware and complete. You are birthed already so you will understand their birth pangs. But their process will not start immediately after yours is over, for whatever modifications need to be made in the energy, will first be made and only then will the process start for the rest of humanity, which might take another 30 to 45 days. What about the new babies being born? Wonderful question! All babies that have been born in the last two months are already complete with the new cellular structure. They are a completely new race of human beings. In fact, quite different from you; physically different from you. They are already coming with brand new bodies. You are old models being updated. (Laughter)
Reconstruction, restructuring of the NOW is now in your hands, without being ‘baggaged’ down by past event energies. Remember what we have said: the shift will take place in your perceptual reality. The encounter of the experience will still be real but the perceptual reality of the experience will now start shifting. Begin to be aware of that shift within you. The more you are aware of the shift within you, the quicker will the shift be and the quicker will the cellular perceptual pattern be completely erased, having no power from you at all. So we’ll vibrate at a faster rate? You will vibrate at a rate that will be a minimum of a 100 times faster than what is now. And now a word of caution. (Smiling) Yes, son, we know you are thinking, there always has to be one loophole. That ‘loophole’ is always present when human beings are concerned. It’s not a loophole present from any perception of the InterGalactic Council. It is a reality from the human perspective. Having the power to restructure the NOW, if you restructure the NOW from memories held of how you were, you will restructure yourself within that same memory mould. Energies of past patterns will dissipate, but you still remember who you are. If your memory holds a belief that, let us say, X race is not good, then the restructuring will follow that memory. The irony is that each one of you will be a physical reality anew, an energy reality anew, but will you forget the old physical reality? And that is why we said: from our perception there is no loophole, but from yours there is. The loophole is: will you forget who you have been? So we’ll still hold on to past patterns. Do not say that! Do not say: “we will still hold on to.” At the most you may say: “there is a likelihood that we may still hold on to…” Do not allow your

words to become your truth!!. So we’re changing from limitation to complete power now. And complete power means complete power to be anything you wish. The duality of human existence can never be taken away. That is the essential truth upon which human existence has risen. When the memory comes, you recognize that it is a memory, that it is not you in the physical reality, that it is not you in the energy reality, it is only a memory. Make that realization very strong. One of the most difficult aspects of being a human being is memory. Only the human race has memory; no plant, no animal, no bird. They have no memory. They have energy recognition. They do not have memory; they have energy recognition. All of us of the Inter-Galactic Council, we have energy recognition, which is very different from memory. For example, we may recognize another as an energy that had once caused us harm but because we have no memory, we recognize that another as what you are NOW and we do not get caught in the energy of past events. So you see how it would well nigh be impossible for the Inter-Galactic Council to do this task of cellular restructuring without you, for only you have memory. You’re talking of leaving the past behind and being something in the NOW. So should we prepare a fresh blueprint of what we want to be or do we just flow with whatever comes? A fixed blueprint is one that works on memory. When you have a memory of an event, of a person, of a situation, you need to put it into the blueprint to eradicate the memory. That is the purpose of the experience; to eradicate its memory, to eradicate its energy of a past event. The so-called ‘new’ blueprint is not a fixed blueprint. It is a soul-directed blueprint, not directed by memory, for there is no memory that is present in
the energy structure. Your memory is only held in your intellectual mind. If your soul needs to go onto a path of its next journey, it will bring to you those experiences. If you have memory of, what you are calling ‘issues,’ that issue will arise. There are two ways of working on the memory of the issue: one is to be strong enough, willed enough, to know that this is only memory and not a reality and therefore it will not BE. Only a handful of people have this kind of strength. The larger majority will have to work on this issue as though it were real and understand it from a more human point of view, even though it is a past perspective and get out of the issue, liberated enough, to then have the memory strength to say: NO. For example? Let us take the example we had taken earlier. If her soul is moving towards, greater relationship harmony, wishing to teach itself, wishing to experience what its Spirithood is already aware of Unity of Energies - one of these encounters, one of these experiences that the soul will bring in, as we have already discussed, will be that friend with whom she’ll have a little friction. Now if her issue, as she has called it, is one of rejection, the memory of that issue will make her revert to the memory of rejection and therefore begin to restructure herself with memory rather than the current energy prevalent within her. An issue is only based on past events, the energy of which does not occur anywhere in her new cellular structure, but because she is a human being, unlike us of the Inter-Galactic Council, she has more memory and less energy recognition. If in this moment she can catch herself and understand that she is coming from memory, she can now restructure herself into harmony in two ways: one is by sheer strength of will that is able to overcome memory. If that is not possible, then she can restructure herself by working through the issue, as she calls it, but in the fullness of knowledge that it is only a memory of an issue and not an issue at all. At every moment she must remind herself that the energy of past events has gone.

Is there a chance of suppression or cutting off? Again, that will depend upon the memory of how you deal with situations. If you have a memory of who you were, and if you have been dealing with situations in this manner, then that is how you will initially react. It is too quick for memory to completely dissipate. It is too quick. It depends upon the will, upon your power.
realms of the Spirit-Psyche, such that life is directed by consciousness of thought, word and feeling, to bring about self-empowerment through complete recall of one’s Godhood.
After 65 days, you will not deal with issues; you will deal with restructuring self, moment to moment, event to event, situation to situation, experience to experience, person to person consciously. This is a physical transformation. We cannot state this often enough: this is a physical transformation. Energy of past events will be eradicated. Whether you choose to carry forth the energy of memory is your will. Whether you choose to create an emotional baggage in the NOW, related to that memory, is again your choice. But it will not be a baggage of the past. You will create a baggage in the NOW; it is moment to moment restructuring. And that is what we caution you about. Will is the only thing that can cut through memory. You may understand that an event is being propelled by memory, but you may still be caught in it. Understanding can open your eyes to the purpose; Will can cut through memory. We are in gratitude to you and to all those of the 136 groups that have joined forces with ours to help to take humanity through its stage of physical rebirthing; a joyous moment for which the InterGalactic Council has been working for the past 124 years. We bow in honour.
