Celebrating Michaelmas
ANN NAPER
Dear Friends, About a year ago, I had two particularly memorable dreams. In the first, I was walking along a path beside my favourite stretch of coast in Norfolk – a spot I’ve loved since I was five or six. As I walked along the path, I noticed that some bags of rubbish had been dumped beside it, totally spoiling the pristine landscape I had come to love as a child. The further I walked along the path, the more dense the litter became, and the more my heart sank. In the end I couldn’t stand it any more and woke up. That day, I felt so depressed by the dream that I strove mightily until I had totally re-imagined it as an idyllic walk along a beautiful path without any rubbish at all. Pleased with my efforts, I congratulated myself on healing my mind from the feeling or belief that darkness and decay could ever overcome what is beautiful, innocent and pure. However, a couple of weeks later, I had another dream. I was walking down a street, when two of my guides appeared on either side of me, lifted me off my feet and deposited me right beside a massive wheelie bin that was absolutely brimming with every kind of foul, rotting rubbish. Heaving with maggots and swarming with flies, the stench of it was unbearable. Deciding that, clearly, my guides wished to make a point here, I resisted the impulse to run away as fast as I could. Instead I listened, and was informed that what I needed to do was observe the heaving mass of rubbish very closely, to mentally embrace instead of reject it, and then it would turn into ‘a nice young man selling icecream!’ What? A nice young man selling icecream? Well, you don’t question things in dreams, do you... So, I did exactly as instructed, fixing my eyes on some particularly mobile and ugly looking maggots, and telling myself that every movement I observed was, in fact, simply part of a process in which some matter was re-shaping itself into something very nice. And sure enough, within a short time, the young man appeared, complete with straw hat, striped apron and one of those old-fashioned icecream trolley-cum-bicycle things, and sold me a delicious ice-cream. Accepting both dark and light In the months that followed I thought about this dream a lot, and even did some dreamwork on it with my doctor. I came to realise that this second dream conveyed a message I very much needed – and still need – to understand (clearly, my guides thought I wouldn’t get it without the rather graphic
Can Darkness Conquer Light?
imagery!): instead of choosing the light and rejecting the dark, as we humans are so often inclined to do – we can accept and embrace without fear or favour all the contrasts life presents to us, both light and dark, and – using all the God-given faculties and opportunities available to us, and especially the faculty of love – we have the power to forge both ends of the spectrum into something even greater, something we might call Light with a capital L. This, of course, is the path taught by the alchemists of old, the path on which base metals are turned into gold; the path on which, as human beings in bodies of matter, we can become alchemical crucibles in which the forces of chaos and disharmony, meeting the unquenchable fire of our love, are transformed into order and harmony. And it is by following this path that we as humans may re-enter the current of evolution, which now requires our active co-operation, rather than just our acquiescence. The alchemical pathway It seems appropriate to be reflecting on all this as the feast of Michaelmas approaches. Celebrated on 29th September, this festival falls close to the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are equal in length, and swiftly followed by the lengthening nights of winter. In times when people were more in touch with nature and the spiritual worlds, folk would no doubt have been keenly aware of the idea that darkness was – temporarily at least – seeming to conquer the light, and for that reason would have sought to preserve as much light and warmth as possible in their minds and lives, against the dark and cold of winter. It would also have been important to them, or at least to the initiates among them, to cultivate awareness of higher beings who were ever at their side to help and support them in their human quest to walk the alchemical pathway. In the Western spiritual tradition, these higher beings are today known as archangels, particularly the Archangel Michael who is seen, above all, as the being who defends and protects the pure in heart from the forces of fear and darkness. In other times or places, you might have felt this infallibly protecting power as some other being – a god or goddess perhaps – but the important thing would always have been what you felt, not what you believed, or thought. Angelic protection In your heart’s eye, then, place yourself beside this towering winged being whose protection is invincible. Feel how that protection remains with you, sheltering you, holding you – lifting you – up throughout whatever
appearances of darkness may come your way, giving your spinal column – your serpent-fire column – a new strength that increases daily as you learn to trust and remain true to it, and thus forge a path of light through all that seems dark. In practical terms then, what do we – as aspiring alchemists – do when faced with darkness, pain, suffering and sorrow? Reject them? Deny them? Ignore them? Run away from them? No. Give in to them, then? No, not that, either. Just walk right in, through the doorway they provide, to the veritable treasure chamber of gifts those very painful things themselves will give you. How? By just putting one foot in front of the other – doing what comes next to the best of your ability, in the absolute faith that you are not lost, that you are still on a path, and that your footsteps are still guided. By shining all the love and wisdom you can muster into the situation you are in. And by asking, inwardly, for the help of those beings who have walked this path before you, and for the help of the angels. Such prayers are answered instantly, and in unexpected ways. For a deeper understanding of this, we urge you to immerse yourself in Jehanne Mehta’s beautiful poems on p. 9, which are alive with the power of Michael. And so, dear friends, we hope you can see and feel more clearly now the role of darkness on the path of light. We leave you for now with this blessing: May the wisdom of Michael be yours May his strength and courage be yours as you walk your path And may his love be a lamp for your feet, now and always. With our love, Ann, Geoff and the Cygnus team

KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED: CYGNUS REVIEW CALENDAR 2011 Ann Napier & Janet Baxter
Bringing our thoughts, feelings and beliefs into a state of harmony and authenticity is something we all strive to do isn’t it? When what goes on in our minds and hearts is harmonious and authentic, this has a noticeable, improving effect on our circumstances and sense of wellbeing. But what happens when the unknown bursts into our lives, leaving us with the feeling that none of the maps we have can show us the way any longer? What happens if we are suddenly plunged into a situation of such unbearable emotional or physical pain that we simply do not have the strength to use all our formerly trusted practices and beliefs? What Ann Napier knows beyond any doubt is that no one is alone, however it may seem. Our Cygnus Calendar for 2011 – Know That You Are Loved – brings Ann’s words of affirmation and reassurance that wherever you may be, there still exists a lifeline from the heart of the universe that is connected directly with you (because actually, in your deepest essence, New Design! it is you). You may not have felt this lifeline yet, but As requested by we promise you it is there, and hope that these you, the Cygnus texts, combined with Janet Baxter’s stunning phomembers, we’ve tographs of nature, will help you to feel it. re-designed the ‘Know this, and be at peace: your best is always calendar to make good enough.

As you may already know, alchemy is the process through which the base metal of our ordinary, human self is gradually refined and transformed into pure spiritual gold. This has the most far reaching effects, not just on our subtle bodies, but on our physical body as well, and not just on ourselves, but on the world around us too. The seven Harry Potter novels are a dazzlingly perfect allegory of the alchemical process, and in this book, Geo Trevarthen unpacks some of the huge depth of meaning in J K Rowling’s incredible creation. Her exploration of the spiritual foundations, symbols, archetypes and mythic elements encountered in these magical stories is enthralling in itself, and you’ll find yourself drawn into a deeper sense of magic and meaning, both in the novels and in your own life. And if you haven’t yet ventured with Harry, all the novels are still available from Cygnus.

As well as showing the powerful effect of affirmations and teaching you how to create them to bring positive change into your life, Louise Hay now reveals that the secret to your affirmations working quickly and consistently is to prepare an atmosphere in which they can grow. She shows how you can nurture your thoughts, identifying your doubts and transforming them into affirmations. Louise explains that when you state an affirmation, you’re really saying to your subconscious mind: ‘I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.’ In Experience Your Good Now!, she gives affirmations for lots of specific topics and concerns – such as health, fearful emotions, addictions, prosperity issues, love and intimacy – and presents exercises suited to virtually every area of your life. On the enclosed CD, Louise offers you even more helpful information about affirmations: listen to it whenever you’d like positive thoughts and ideas to permeate your consciousness and fill you with hope and joy.

MOZART’S GHOST Julia Cameron
Meet Anna, a ‘thirty-something’ living alone in New York City. A schoolteacher by day, by night she works as a medium, covertly helping people reunite with their lost loved ones. Anna leads a double life, guarding her secret as much as she guards her heart – until Edward, a gangly yet handsome concert pianist, moves into her building. Edward’s music fills Anna’s apartment with beautiful sounds that disturb her concentration and her lines of communication with spirits. Romance blossoms, but Anna is conflicted: by exposing her true identity, does she risk losing what may be her true love? And is music really his true love? Then a ghost begins to interfere – that of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – and while he causes havoc for Anna, he begins to play matchmaker, with unexpected results.

CLAIRE NAHMAD
I’d like to introduce to you a beautiful way to marry the act of blessing with the creative healing power of the angels. The result is the release of a gentle but stupendous positive force that works magic in our lives. The act of blessing is magical. Human blessing carries great power. When we consciously ally our human power of blessing to that of the angels, we create a dynamo of transformative, God-sourced energy that can work miracles. Blessing scroll for healing Although this scroll invokes a blessing for healing people, it can also be used in order to supplicate healing for an animal, a body of water, a wood or a meadow, a garden or a tree or plant, or even a room or a building. You can make use of it in creative ways, such as in the case of a fraught situation, a negative tendency or some pattern of consistent bad luck. The Angels The great archangel of healing is Raphael, whose mystery manifests in equal measure through feminine and masculine aspects. All healing flows forth from Raphael. His key word is ‘consolamentum’, the title of a secret ceremony administered by the Cathars of medieval France, by means of which their priests dispensed spiritual wholeness and an unfettered vision of the higher worlds. This word vibrates throughout his being. In itself it can soothe and restore, and summon the magic of healing to the ailing, fragmented soul. Raphael’s form is mighty, as tall as a cathedral. His eyes shine with loving compassion, emitting a great light, and yet they are as mellow and gentle and deep as the glow of ancient and mysterious gold. His lips utter rhythmic healing chants, beautiful in their vibration, becoming from time to time a great burst of exquisite song, which pierces the listening soul with an irresistible tide of love as renewal, as reawakening, as revivification. Hear his soft chanting and his burst of song through which the cadence of the word ‘consolamentum’ beats like a spirit drum. There is the fragrance of cleansing joy in the robes of Raphael, and golden healing in his wings. Let those golden wings of light enfold you in their great arcs of sweeping spiritual force, and know yourself as perfect in light, perfect within the sunlight of his healing embrace. Now see his vast host of healing angels as they come in countless choirs to the goldenwinged feet of their master, ready to receive his blessing and the touch of his radiant hands, which bestow the gift of spiritual life-forces from the ineffable and cosmic reservoir that is his/her very being.

Some come on Raphael’s own golden ray, bright and deep in hue, some gently glowing as with the marigold light of a summer evening sun, some with the light of the early morning rays. Some come in on a single colour ray, all blending in an assembled mystery of soft rose, or glowing emerald-green or sweet heavenly blue. Some sweep in like a tide, arrayed in iridescent rainbow colours, subtle, shimmering and beautiful, as though their hues shone through the purest crystal. Some bear a most holy pearlescent light, which is wonderful to see: the pearly light of noble unicorns from the high places of the soul, and of precious stones from a sublime sea that beats on the shores of Paradise. A great host of the healing angels are dressed in simple garments of the purest white, an unearthly whiteness that is so vast and deep that it is the heart of peace itself, making earthly whiteness seem almost dark in comparison. Yet you may note how soft and gentle to the save 41%! eye is the whiteness of these sacred garments, a whiteness that does not dazzle, as if pushing away, but rather tenderly enfolds you in its magical light. Draw near to Archangel Raphael and his great host of angels. Absorb the consciousness and the forces that their aura emanates. Whether you are making this blessing scroll for yourself or for a friend, you will need to be a strong and sure conduit for the healing angels. If the scroll is intended as a general blessing for good health, or if the healing you require is emotional rather than physical, it will not be necessary to call on other angels. However, if you, or the person for whom the scroll is intended, suffer from a serious illness, include the angel Malachi in your meditations and add his name to your written blessing. Malachi stands in state in the sphere of finalities. He rules the beginning and the end point in the creational scheme, which is essentially the same. If it is lawful, he will bring closure and demise to the cycle of suffering you wish to end. In cases of serious illness, call also, through the written and the spoken word, on the angel Sabriel, chief of the order of Tarshishim, the ‘brilliant ones’ associated with the virtues. Sabriel, shining with the light of a thousand stars, overcomes and banishes, returning the soul to its pristine state of ease, peace and grace. The Celtic Deities Brigid Brigid dispenses healing and wholeness to those who make heart-contact with her. Known as the Triple Goddess, she gently enfolds our three aspects (mind, body, spirit) in her pure and perfect light. Some people experience this as being taken into the folds of her radiant garments. The Scottish islanders understood Brigid’s encompassing as a conducting inwards into her ‘pure sheepfolds’, speaking of her with unsurpassed love and reverence as ‘Brigid of the Mantle’.
Make Your Own
Columba Columba was known for his compassion and personal concern for the Scottish communities with whom he worked. He was gifted with the healing power of both the angels and the Christ-essence, and would often hurry away from meals and gatherings to pray for some remote suffering soul whom he sensed was reaching out to him for help. Arianrhod Arianrhod is the Welsh Goddess of the full moon, of time and destiny. She is one of the famed ‘spinning goddesses’ who produce silver threads from their own soul essence with which to weave the destinies of human souls. We see in this ‘spinning’ signature a reference to the power that sustains worlds and universes.

MAKE YOUR OWN ANGEL BLESSING SCROLLS Claire Nahmad
In this lovely new book Claire Nahmad draws upon ancient Celtic traditions, marrying the act of blessing with the creative healing power of the angels. She shows you how to create beautiful Angel Blessing Scrolls, to celebrate special occasions, such as births and marriages, or to invoke angelic protection for journeys, or bring comfort and healing in difficult times. Carefully explaining each step in their preparation – with ideas for adornment , symbolism and colours – she suggests sympathetic wording and describes how to invoke the blessings of the most appropriate angels and Celtic deities. The scrolls can be drawn in attractive calligraphy, they can made with aromatic oils or with flowers, feathers, herbs or crystals – as individual and imaginative as you wish. Then, whether you secrete your scroll away, as was traditional, or make it to display, it will provide a powerful conduit for love and blessing.

Arianrhod was mistress of a glass tower or spiral castle whose configurations are those of the soul. She is keeper of our spinning chakras, which, when purified and fully activated, do indeed create a crystal tower or spiralling castle known as the ‘soul shrine’. It protects us and frees us when it is perfected, because from then on no path or resonance is closed to us.

Angel Blessing Scrolls While we are occupied with the task of bringing it to perfection, however, it can sometimes seem like a prison filled with taskmaster wardens! Arianrhod’s mystical castle was traditionally the place where poets and musicians brought their art to perfection, because, of course, the calibre of the soul must always be that of master poet and musician. Arianrhod purges and cleanses, and restores balance, harmony and right resonance to our chakras. If we will commune in sincerity with her, she will protect our health and cast out disease. Decoration Ideas Whether you want to decorate a shortened scroll for display purposes or a full-length scroll for secretion, here are some ideas to inspire you. There are innumerable symbols for healing and good health. Choose those to which you feel most drawn, yet also include the cross of light within the circle of light, as it is perhaps the most powerful, together with the six-pointed star. This is formed from two equilateral triangles, one pointing upwards and the other downwards. It is important to note, however, that this mystical star does not contain the inner divisions of the Star of David. It is a symbol of wholeness. The unicorn is a healing symbol, as is the dragon. The caduceus (a staff around which coil two opposing snakes from foot to tip) is the supreme healing emblem of our Western civilization, formally adopted by orthodox medical establishments since the era of ancient Greece, although its origins lie in a much earlier Mesopotamian tradition. It is the sign and symbol of Archangel Raphael. The Tree of Life, the pine tree, the olive tree, the rowan, the rose and the apple are all powerful healing symbols. The true swastika (in contradistinction to the abomination that the Nazis used), which portrays eight dancing legs moving sunwise or clockwise in a circle, is a holistic symbol, as is the budding rod, the ring and the rainbow. The Egyptian ankh, the pyramid and the cross are all beautiful healing seals, as is the tai-chi-tu (the Chinese symbol denoting the yin and yang forces). For the angel Raphael, his protection is signified by the caduceus symbol. For the Celtic deities, their signs are: Brigid: dandelion; Columba: trefoil; Arianrhod: silver thread and clear quartz crystal. Suitable crystals would be any of the numerous crystals that have healing properties. Bloodstone, emerald, clear and rose quartz are comforting and familiar healing energies to work with. They can be augmented with celestite and angelite. All of these crystals correspond to the angelic realms of healing. Appropriate aromatic oils would be rosemary, lavender, rose, frankincense and bergamot, which correspond to the angelic spheres of protection and healing.
Writing the blessing Before starting work on your blessing scroll, assemble and bless your materials, pray to Brigid and Michael, and intone the Supplication to the Celtic Deities. Now intone the Rune of Intent: ‘As I, (say your name), inscribe this scroll, I affirm that my act is holy, my heart pure, and my words vessels which I pray will be filled and blessed with the power of valiant Michael, Brightness of the Mountains, and Brigid of the Mantle, she who dwells in the golden heart of the sun. May Brigid and Michael bless and protect me and the work that I seek to achieve.’ Then write the Blessing, personalizing it by beginning it with the name of the person to whom it is addressed: ‘The shield of Michael is over you, King of the bright angels; He is shielding and encircling you From your summit to your sole.
Raphael, glorious one, Coming to you in raiment of rainbows, Coming to you on rays of angels Arrayed in rainbow garments Fresher than the first rays of the morning. (Insert recipient’s name) You are the love of the God of Life, You are the love of the Son of Light, You are the love of Mary of the Purities, You are the love of Brigid the Beauteous, You are the love of Holy Spirit, You are the love of each living creature. Hail, Raphael of all healing!

Peace and light be, Peace of love be, Peace of healing be, Peace of wholeness forever be yours, Peace of wholeness forever be yours, You, (insert name), who are beloved of angels and of God.’ In addition to the Blessing, you will also intone the Prayer to Brigid and Michael:
‘In the name of Brigid the Shining One, In the name of the Great Chief, I ask that my prayer for blessing be heard. I ask that you purify my intention And make my mind a mountain pool of clarity, The fish in it leaping and silver To summon the brightness of the blessing From the hills of the angels.
May the Archangel Michael, and Brigid the Radiant In whom dwells the presence of Divine Mother, Of their benevolence, Hear and grant my prayer. By Brigid, by the Great Chief of the Angels, may it be so.’

THE ANGEL ALMANAC Angela McGerr
‘This is a truly beautiful and inspiring book. It is gorgeous to look at, full of information about the angels and lots of lovely illustrations. I particularly love the free CD that comes with it: the meditations are full of wonderful visualizations that really seem to take you on a wonderful, energy clearing journey. The music between the meditations is so soothing and uplifting and lasts long enough to bring you out of the meditation slowly, it seems as if it literally slows the breathing down and made me feel almost light headed! I have felt so much better after these meditations, I feel that, over time, they will really make a difference. I would recommend this book to anyone who, like me, wants to feel more in tune with higher energies but finds it hard to move out of the grip of fearful emotions in order to do so.’ Susan

CHANGE FOR WELLBEING
THE MINDFUL MANIFESTO Dr Jonty Heaversedge & Ed Halliwell
Written by a GP and a health writer, The Mindful Manifesto is the first book to integrate the latest scientific and medical research on mindfulness with meditation’s historical context. For thousands of years Eastern traditions have taught meditation to help people lead healthier, happier lives. Now, scientific research is confirming that mindfulness can help us all improve our mental and physical well-being. We see how it can: treat mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, help us cope with the busy-ness of everyday life, improve our physical health and help manage chronic illness, enable us to let go of unwanted behaviours, and improve how we function in our relationships and jobs. With examples of how the mindfulness movement is already well underway, we see that encouraging governments and other powerful institutions to take a mindful approach could make a massive difference to the health and happiness of the whole world.

Thankfully, he says, you’ll see that you can correct this imbalance faster than you think. In this practical, easy-toread book, you’ll learn simple steps that have already helped thousands of people from all walks of life discover the incredible energy and daily peace they were born to experience. It’s not about giving you other people’s answers; it’s about helping you find your own, and having the tools to put them into action. Learn why an inspired life is critical to your health and happiness.

Chip and Dan Heath take you deep inside the human psyche to explain why our desire to improve things is often undermined by scepticism, caution and fear. They say we all have two competing parts of our minds – an emotional, instinctual ‘Elephant’, and a rational ‘Rider’ – that often work against each other, so if we can discover how to get them to work together, we can achieve amazing results very quickly. Once you understand how the mind functions to affect our reactions to change, you can take steps to overcome resistance, employing simple patterns to effect the changes that matter to you. Not only does Switch give you all the information you need to do this easily, it also shows you how everyday people – employees and managers, parents and nurses – have achieved dramatic results, just by making the best of human behaviour.

THE AUDIBLE LIFE STREAM Alistair Conwell
The Audible Life Stream, or Primordial Sound Current, is the all-pervasive universal consciousness within everyone. Few realise there is credible evidence indicating that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and so on, all perfected the meditative technique of turning their attention inwards, thereby merging with the Audible Life Stream, to become adepts of dying while living. This is the first book to provide convincing evidence and emphasize its importance to every human being, since none of us can escape the clutches of the Lord of Death. This unique book provides evidence of the Audible Life Stream from a variety of sources, including, testimonials of near-death experiences and out-ofbody experiences from people in USA, UK and Australia; excerpts from major religious texts; simply explained quantum physics principles; and, independent anecdotes from the increasingly popular field of sound/music therapy.

NAKED BEING J M Harrison
Naked Being, says J M Harrison, is the founding truth of our existence, the undisturbed nature of reality seen through the transparent unconditioned pure mind. It is the realisation of original peace, the experiencing of clearest consciousness, the essence of what you are. Naked Being is about coming home to the formless heart of what you are: the recognition and realisation of your true nature, the simple truth of what you are – here and now in this very moment. In a fusion of mainstream spirituality, esoteric oneness and advaita or non-duality, Harrison compiles a collection of illuminating texts that evoke a deep remembrance of our essential ‘true’ nature and sacred sense of ‘home’. Pause between each insight, take time to absorb and reflect, and enter the experience of present moment awareness, the Now.

THE PROPHET Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet is held to be Kahlil Gibran’s most mystical and powerful book. The haunting words of wisdom and truth in Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet, are among the most heart-rendingly beautiful ever written. So poetic, so glorious are they that, as you read them, they inscribe themselves in your heart so that you never forget them. First published in 1923, The Prophet tells the story of Almustafa the Prophet, who is about to leave the country where he has been teaching to return to his native land. Before leaving his place of exile, he delivers twenty-six homilies that form a treasury of counsel on human life. His teachings reveal the highest truth we can learn from life – that though our bodies be dust and our minds illusion, within us resides a potential that is nothing less than divine. This edition is illustrated with Kahlil Gibran’s own enchanting drawings.

HAZEL COURTENEY
In 2007 I travelled to Arizona to attend the world’s first-ever conference on the phenomenon of Orbs. During a lighthearted discussion with one of the scientists I had met while investigating my 1998 neardeath experience – material physicist Professor William A Tiller, who has spent over forty years studying matter and consciousness – I somewhat irreverently asked him to draw in the simplest terms his representation of God. save He proceeded to draw a straight line 41%! across a sheet of paper. ‘What’s that?’ I asked. ‘It’s total coherence,’ came Bill’s reply. He smiled with a knowing twinkle in his eyes. ‘This is what God, or pure Isness, is.’ When I asked Bill, ‘In your straight-line coherence scenario, where did we come from?’ he told me that there had to have been some kind of ‘decohering’ to bring the world as we know it into being. And as he said this, he drew a line down from the horizontal ‘coherent’ line towards the bottom of the page. As the word decoherence, in my humble opinion, simply means no longer coherent – no longer what scientists term ‘in phase’, no longer in complete harmony as one – I asked, ‘Might this decohering in some way have been linked to the Big Bang, which emanated from this ultimate ‘coherent core’ that you term ‘God’? And might it have seemed like a mere hiccup of energy being released?’ ‘Maybe,’ he mused, smiling somewhat nervously at my incredible presumption, which would have had most scientists laughing in my face. ‘But for the sake of my extremely simple drawing,’ he continued, ‘let’s say there was a birthing from a metaphorical womb that already existed...’ and as he said this, his downward line reached the bottom of the page and he turned it back on itself so it was heading back up towards the ‘Isness’ horizontal line of pure coherence. ‘Why have you done that?’ I asked. ‘Well, my theory is that the universe and everything in it has decohered about as far as it can get, but now the tide is starting to turn towards another epoch. We are returning back whence we came, back towards coherence. To God.’ Then I asked Bill, ‘What would happen to the world as we know it now if this total recohering occurred?’ ‘Well, you would no longer be able to see anything of this physical world, as it would be operating on a higher frequency, which would mean it would no longer be visible to physical eyes.’ Our universe will disappear. Crikey! Breath of the All In April 2009 I made the decision to speak again with Professor Tiller face-to-face, figuring it might be the only way I could grasp the enormity of his theories and his evidence. Believe me, it was well worth the effort. ‘Allow me to share with you a speculative

myth, which I believe one day will be proven to be much more than a myth. It’s my interpretation of a metaphor that’s commonly used in Eastern philosophy: ‘the out-breathing and inbreathing of the All’. ‘In the ‘beginning’, everything was totally coherent: all things, all levels of energy, all levels of consciousness were one.’ Bill picked up a pen and paper.

COUNTDOWN TO COHERENCE Hazel Courteney
Join Hazel Courteney on her quest to discover the hidden realities of our human existence, seeking out both spiritual masters and scientists to ask questions like: Do our thoughts really create our reality? Do we exist in more than one universe at once? She finds that if we are to become more enlightened, then it’s crucial that we learn to become more coherent at every level of being – everything coming together as one. Hazel explores our recoherence, as humanity experiences a return to nonphysical existence, and looks at the significance of the ancient civilisations of Mu, Lemuria and Atlantis. From both scientific and spiritual points of view, she also examines the growing belief that our universe is a hologram; that other civilisations exist alongside ours in other space/time dimensions; and the phenomenon of Orbs. Ultimately, Countdown to Coherence leads to a radical new understanding of who we really are, where we need to go and why – and how much more we are all capable of than we’ve ever imagined.

of substance. This eventually nucleated into a nonphysical society at the level of mind, called Mu – it would have been a highly coherent society. This was the first epoch in a ‘new’ outbreathing cycle. On every full turn of each expanding spiral there would be seven epochs, three and a half on each out-breath (the decohering phase) and three and a half on each inbreath (the recohering phase). ‘I believe that the process of decohering, or separation continued and another society known as Lemuria evolved at the level of emotion domain – again prephysical – which became the second epoch. The third epoch in this first out-breath cycle could have been something like Atlantis. Spirit enters matter ‘These societies, like Mu, Lemuria and Atlantis, over time formed what we presently term the physical vacuum. And, in very simple terms, I hypothesize that they then ‘intended’ our physical epoch into being, which triggered the Big Bang, our electric atom/molecule physical universe was born, and spirit entered into dense matter through consciousness, so that the All can experience reality as a separate soul, thus affording it a further opportunity to learn and grow.’ As Bill went on with his drawing, he said, ‘Notice how the spiral grows and expands, the further we are from the total coherence at our ‘source’. In my opinion, this current physical reality is a point of minimal coherence, so from here on in, we are heading back towards maximal coherence – we are on our way home.’ I sat back smiling from ear to ear. I asked, ‘You mean back to being nonphysical beings?’ ‘Absolutely – eventually. It’s not our physical universe that’s ‘going home’, but our consciousness: we are talking at a level of mind here, going home and merging our consciousness back with its source. I believe that over time we will evolve into ‘light’ beings. Our soul self will evolve beyond this space-time reality. ‘On every out-breathing cycle you have these type of societies, like Atlantis or Lemuria, forming and on every in-breath cycle they/we return to coherence. All of this happens over and over again. God is constantly birthing itself, there are a host of realities coexisting alongside us, but for now, most people cannot see them. Within two hundred years many of us will have ‘moved on’, but getting all the way home could take a few epochs!’
‘My working hypothesis is that in order to grow in capability, this pure coherence decoheres and recoheres periodically over and over again – though not in any time scale that we could comprehend. My point is that we were birthed out of From Countdown to Coherence, ©2010 by Hazel something that was already there.

EARTH PILGRIM Satish Kumar
Satish Kumar believes that we now need a new kind of pilgrim – Earth Pilgrims – who are concerned with this world, not the next, and who are seeking a deep commitment to a life of connectivity, in the here and now. To be a pilgrim, says Satish, is to be on a path of adventure, to move out of our comfort zones, to let go of our prejudices and preconditioning, and to make strides towards the unknown. Satish shows that, in order to find spiritual and social renewal, we need to shed not just our unnecessary material possessions but also our burdens of fear, anxiety, doubt and worry. So, if we want to tread the earth pilgrim’s path, we need to go beyond ideas of good and evil, and to be dedicated to our quest – to live in harmony with the natural world, and with our own souls.

THE MYSTERIOUS STORY OF X7 Anne K Edwards
An authentic message from prisoners of conscience entombed in the earth? An allegory for our times, showing the way of light in darkness? A blueprint for the transformation of physical matter? These are extraordinary messages, transmitted telepathically to Anne Edwards in the 1950s, from the minds of unknown men – scientists, martyred for their freedom of belief – who tell us how they responded to their existence when incarcerated underground, semi-starved and deprived of all physical support. Driven to the point of despair, and near death, in their extremity they prayed. To their amazement, help came, and they were able to make some incredible discoveries about the nature of light which gave them new life and hope. In his foreword to this new publication of the writings, Robert Sardello not only explains their spiritual significance, but also guides you through an esoteric process much like that described in the story. He enables you to use the story as a guide to a path for transforming humankind and the Earth.

JEHANNE MEHTA
The 29th of September is one of the traditional dates associated with the Archangel Michael. It’s close to the Celtic Samhain festival, when the journey inwards to the winter begins. Michael is normally depicted with a sword or spear, confronting a dragon and, like his earthly counterpart, St George, is shown piercing the dragon in the throat. St George is shown rescuing a lady in danger of being swallowed by the dragon. In Chinese culture the dragon is the Earth. Lines of energy crossing the landscape are often called Dragon Lines. In ancient times it was understood that the dragon is also part of us, the physical body we inhabit while passing through the magnificent schooling of this beautiful planet. Our body is our own ‘little piece of Earth’. The Native Americans say, ‘What you do to yourself, you do to the Earth. What you do to the Earth, you do to yourself ’.
The Spear of Archangel Michael
The spear of Archangel Michael is a picture of our axis, the spinal column, but also of the tall spindle at our centre, the ‘I’, written as a single upright stroke in English, with which, uniquely in earthly creation, we name ourselves. The throat is the chakra of the Word, creative sound, with which we can utter ‘I am’, so Michael is not killing or even conquering the dragon. The archetypal picture of the archangel is expressing how the higher self penetrates our body, so that we can truly wake up to ourselves in our ‘piece of Earth’. It is profoundly interesting that a baby first has to stand erect, then walk, before he/she starts to name him/herself from within: ‘I’. The Earth then truly begins her wonderful teaching, and the lady, our soul, our personality for this life, is free to learn. Jehanne Mehta

Shaftmaster, Master of the Inner Tree, in affirmation if your ceaseless re-sounding of my being, I align myself between root and star.
Under the arc of your shielding, Fireshaft of the Hidden Sun, heart warmed by the long, strong gold of autumn, here, where the wild berries burn crimson on the thorn,
in love and gratitude,
I ground my standing, I ground my standing, I ground my standing, in the soil of our living Earth.
You run, you fall, you forget, you die
You run, you fall, you forget, you die You run, you fall, you forget, you die
You are not afraid of dying, but of being beautiful
You are not afraid of oblivion, but of being who you truly are You are not afraid of falling but of standing alight on the pinnacle of yourself You are not afraid of running, but of taking the first single, simple step Unlock your right shoulder Unleash your left leg
Who is it pours radiance into the so long aching earth
but you yourself in yourself walking
Where the tide meets the land
There’s a place that is no place, where you touch an edge. Where the sea meets the sand there’s a time that is no time, when you touch the margins of yourself.
Here, now, like the crab you could move sideways into the unknown, meet the lost one, lifelong missing, unsuspected, coming to meet you like a lover, on a white horse out of the water, on a solar wind out of the stars. Looking back you could track the footprints of your way here, trace the falls, broken shells, the mottled rocks and the hard place.
Here there is no longer any doubt. On this verge, where the sun embraces your heart, listen to the gulls’ cry, feel the warm wind on your skin.
Who is this taking shape out of no thing, Speaking words of love out of no time, if not you, in your fullness, coming home?

Hymn to the Earth
She is lovely in the springtime in her dress of gold and purple; She is lovely in the summer in her robe of living green; Lovely in the autumn all clothed in flame and yellow; Lovely in the winter in her gown of mist and rain.
She is lovely where your feet have trod and left a winding pathway, Lovely where the deer rests in the warmth of evening sun, Lovely where the buzzard soars on the west wind from the ocean, Where the trees talk a green language and the restless squirrels run.
She is lovely where the silver brook sings its endless melodies, Lovely where your hand has shaped the landscape to your will, Lovely where the ploughman cleaves her depths to plant the harvest, And when her fields are cold and bare, then she is lovely still.
In rocks and soil she is alive, alert and always listening; In beech and ash and sycamore she is watching and awake. You can sense her body tremble as your heart is slowly opening, You can feel her move towards you, as you begin to speak.
All down the twisting centuries she has waited for this moment, For your heart to sing with her heart and dance to the same beat. In the woods and hills a new earth stirs beneath her secret portals. A world which only you and she together can create.

HEALTH & HEALING VITAL SIGNS FOR CANCER Xandria Williams
Vital Signs for Cancer is about recognising important signs that suggest you might be heading for degenerative diseases, and perhaps cancer in particular. Xandria Williams draws on her research findings, scientific background and work as a nutritionist and naturopath to help you to understand the cancer process and give advice on how you can detect and reverse it long before a tumour appears. She gives guidance on adopting a CAM (complementary, alternative and metabolic) approach, recognising cancer as a systemic problem that affects the whole body, rather than the localised MDS (medical-drugsurgery) approach. You can even follow CAM – which comprises natural therapies such as nutritional and herbal medicine, homoeopathy and energy medicines – if you currently have cancer or have just been diagnosed, as these can be used safely alongside medical treatment. She also advises on how you may be able to remain cancer free if you are in remission and want to avoid a recurrence.

Ramp up your love in every area of your life. Feel good as much as you can, because every moment of giving love brings recovery. How to eliminate bad feelings You can change anything in your life by changing how you feel. But in changing the way you feel, don’t try to get rid of bad feelings, because all bad feelings are simply a lack of love. Instead, you put love in! You don’t try to get rid of anger or sadness: anger and sadness are gone when you put love in. There is nothing to dig out of you. When you put love into you, all bad feelings are gone. There is only one force in life and that force is love. You are either feeling good because you are full of love, or you are feeling bad because you are empty of love, but all your feelings are degrees of love. Think of love as if it is water in a glass, and the glass is your body. When a glass has only a little water in it, it is empty of water. You can’t change the water level in the glass by waging war on the emptiness and trying to rip out the emptiness. The emptiness goes by filling the glass with water. When you have bad feelings, you are empty of love, and so when you put love into yourself, the bad feelings are gone. Love is the power to the world The force of love has no opposite. There is no other power in life but love. There isn’t a force of negativity. There is only one force, and that force is love. When people reach the tipping point of giving more love than negativity, we will see negativity vanish from the planet at a rapid rate. Imagine it! Every single time you choose to give love, your love is helping to tip the entire world into positivity! Some people believe that we are very close to the tipping point now. Whether they’re right or not, more than ever, now is the time to give love and positivity. You have so much power in the world because you have so much love you can give. From The Power, ©2010 by Rhonda Byrne, published by Simon and Schuster.

THE HIDDEN SIDE OF LIFE IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH? Anthony Peake
Do you occasionally have that strange feeling known as déjà vu? Do you sometimes feel that you know what is going to happen next? Do you ever have a strong feeling that actions you are about to take are the right (or wrong) thing to do? All these perceptions may be everyday clues to your immortality. This book proposes a simply amazing theosave ry, based upon solid scientific evidence; a 40%! theory that states that personal death is a scientific impossibility. Using the latest findings of neurology, quantum physics and consciousness studies, Anthony Peake suggests that we never die. After reading this book you will understand the reason for your life and how you can make it better next time.

YOU KNOW MORE THAN YOU THINK Seka Nikolic save
Can you sense when someone is thinking about you, or do you phone people just as they are about to call you? In situations like this, you are experiencing an energetic connection with another person, explains Seka Nikolic. She helps you realise what can happen when you listen to, and act on, the messages that you pick up through your energy frequencies and guides you in fine-tuning your energetic gift, choosing to receive only the energies that are right for you, while protecting yourself against negative energies. In You Know More Than You Think she describes the energy pyramid – the levels of energy, from body and mind energy, through frequency of attraction to distance powers and on to the SuperSubconscious, where all information since the beginning of time is stored. You will also discover how to nurture your Neutral Mind state, where you have heightened sensitivity to the Super-Subconscious, and where you are simply present. Seka presents a host of exercises to help you focus your intent on positive energies and recognise your hidden powers. 41%!

DEEP COMMUNICATION
UFOS & THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL MESSAGE Richard Lawrence
In this unique investigation of cosmic communication, Richard Lawrence presents the evidence for extraterrestrial contact in a whole new light, examining how these benign beings might offer humanity a rare opportunity for spiritual evolution. From multi-dimensional universes, creation myths, string theory and hyperspace, to eyewitness accounts, and his fascinating personal experience of alien contact, Richard also looks at channelled messages from alien beings – and reveals how these messages hold the key to our own cosmic intelligence. Enlightening and controversial, he answers many of our questions about aliens but reveals, too, that understanding the greater universe can be part of our own journey towards higher consciousness in our everyday lives.

THE FUTURE IN THE STARS Alison Chester-Lambert
How do astronomers’ discoveries affect the astrologer? What did it mean from an astrologer’s point of view when we were told that Pluto was no longer considered to be a planet? Alison Chester-Lambert explains that Pluto was found to be part of a family of newly discovered dwarf planets, which astronomers named Ceres, Charon, Makemake, Haumea, Eris and Sedna after deities from little-known indigenous cultures. In The Future in the Stars, Alison studies the deeper astrological significance of these choices, drawing meaning from their ancient myths and the events surrounding their discovery, to investigate how their astrology can help us understand 21st century challenges. Alison sets out to de-bunk the wild claims and poor astrology she feels are fuelling the doomsday sensation regarding 2012. Alison’s in-depth analysis of the dwarf planets’ influence allows her to set the record straight and to show us how to work with the big changes and opportunities ahead.

PSYCHIC CATS Theresa Cheung
Do cats have healing powers? Do they have a sixth sense? Do they really know when someone is about to die? Psychic Cats is a collection of true stories that demonstrate the remarkable psychic power of cats: angel cats that have refused to let death part them from their human companions, cats who have saved lives, cats who have helped their owners find love. This book confirms that our whiskered friends are divine messengers of comfort with precognitive abilities. Cat-loving spiritualist Theresa Cheung shows that the sixth sense in cats is well and truly alive, and that they have the ability to touch our hearts long after they have purred their last.

JUDY HALL
Serendipitous Synchronicities and the Soul’s Plan
I love serendipitous synchronicities, ‘happy coincidences’ that come together and move our lives forward in a way that is exactly right. A good example is a PR consultant friend who had written a brilliant children’s book but was having trouble finding a publisher who would take a chance on an unknown author. She was contacted by a woman she ‘happened’ to meet at a lunch who was seeking marketing assistance for her small publishing house. The publisher was successful with a locally-based children’s book and looking for more. The manuscript went off post haste. Several serendipitous synchronicities had helped my friend research the book and it will fulfil her lifelong dream of being an author. A blueprint for life I believe we build such seemingly incidental contacts with ‘soul friends’ into our lifeplan: the blueprint set out at the planning meeting that precedes our birth. The blueprint reflects karmic consequences and our soul’s intentions – which may transcend our karma. This blueprint isn’t set in stone, it’s flexible and allows for personal responsibility and freewill to come into play but it nudges us along our soul’s path. People frequently ask me why certain things have happened. Things that are seemingly traumatic and life-destroying, or arise out of lack of what someone desperately wants in their life. Occasionally, the question is about something amazing that has ‘blown in from nowhere’. Apart from birthchart and ‘far memory’ psychic readings, I’ve regressed hundreds of people to other lives and the space between lives where we plan the next move in our soul’s evolution. So I’ve explored a wide spectrum of soul reasons for taking on specific life situations and all is rarely as it seems. I’ve examined this at length in The Book of Why. But it boils down to balancing out our karma, growing our soul by developing qualities we lacked in the past, gaining insight and giving service to humanity. Crystal star beings We travel in loose ‘soul groups’ that interact with other groups as appropriate. This includes the relationships that I explore in ‘Why’ and in The Soulmate Myth [200402]. But I’d like to tell you a more unusual story of serendipitous synchronicity, one about human and non-human soul interaction: star beings incarnated within crystals. The two aren’t mutually exclusive it depends which material form soul is taking on.
Surely crystals don’t have a soul’, I hear you say. But if you’d lived (as you probably did!) three, four or more thousand years ago you’d recognise crystals as animate, divine beings. The divine permeated everything in those days. ‘As above, so below’ so was the consensus reality, unlike today. The idea persisted for aeons. American Indians believed that the stone people only took a breath every hundred years or so. During the time this idea was prevalent, humankind honoured the earth as divine. There wasn’t the huge divide we have nowadays nor the wholesale rape of the earth’s resources – and yes I know there are people who think crystal mining is an abuse in itself but crystals have told us that it is their soul’s plan to be working with us so they can contribute to earth healing.
THE BOOK OF WHY Judy Hall
Over thirty five years of exploring past lives, the afterlife, the interlife and the spaces in between have convinced Judy Hall that we are not victims of circumstance, nor are we solely a product of karmic consequences. We are all following a soulplan which may be strewn with obstacles but which will ultimately lead to soul growth. So if you’ve been asking yourself why certain things have happened to you, the key may lie in other lives or in the space between lives – the interlife. From interlife exploration, it is clear that there are souls who are still fulfilling a soul contract that is way past its sellby date. There are also souls who have chosen to undergo a specific life experience not because of their karma but because they want to cultivate their soul or to offer service to humanity. In this wide-ranging book, Judy Hall encompasses the vast kaleidoscope of karma and interlife choices.

The lovely John from Exquisite Crystals in the States sent me a Trigonic Quartz earlier this year and asked me to explore its qualities. We’d been introduced by one of my ‘soul sisters.’ John understands that crystals speak. You just have to acquire the knack of listening (see The Crystal Experience [200617], the companion to the Crystal Bibles [190817 and 190818]). As soon as I held a Trigonic it became clear that these crystals had a powerful connection to soul. But, I kept asking, were they entirely natural?
Somehow they had a different feel to most crystals. That question was answered when artist and energy worker Walter Bruneel channelled their oversoul. The communication (see my website www.judyhall.co.uk) showed us just how far back soul contracts can extend. The Trigonics informed us that they were star beings trapped here millions of years ago. They took refuge in plasma which became crystalline. Now they are emerging to help with healing the earth and shifting the consciousness of humankind. They want to dissolve the war gene, but that’s another story. Working together in healing The Trigonics had told us that they had a particular affinity with water. The first workshop on Trigonics ‘coincided’ with the oil spill in the Gulf. We were using another new high vibration crystal to take the light of the sun to fertilise the heart of mother earth and facilitate her regeneration, and several attendees were asked by the Earth Mother to assist at the oil spill. We laid out a grid of Trigonics, Herkimer Diamonds (formed from ancient oil millennia ago) and other stones. The second workshop had to be vacated due to an overwhelming smell of oil from a leaking boiler. We took the hint and laid out a huge grid in the new venue and spent the day helping the earth heal this gaping wound and loss of her lifeblood. I had a ten feet long grid on my dining table that evolved over several weeks. I asked John to appeal to Trigonic caretakers to assist by holding the intention that a solution would be found – focusing a group of hearts and minds together can work miracles. Each workshop ‘coincided’ with a step in the sealing process – although when I added Shift Crystals to the grid a hurricane blew up! This might have seemed disastrous but I believe it too had its part to play just as seemingly dire incidents in people’s lives are, with the benefit of hindsight, actually very positive. I smiled when I heard on the radio the other day that ‘the damage from the oil spill is much less than feared, the oil is dispersing and Mother Nature has obviously been healing herself’. Serendipitous synchronicity ensured that John sent me the crystal at just the right time, which meshed with furthering our knowledge of how to work with crystal beings to serve the earth – part of my soul’s plan.

Star Poem: THE EVER TURNING WHEEL
Letters and poems from Cygnus members
The sheep go in and out and find pasture And so do we, from one life to another Find fresh experience and return with benefit To the timeless realm that shelters souls Between their journeyings We meet with others who In past lives we have known Though such a possibility as that is hid From the mind that sleeps in mundane things But we have lived and loved And laboured all together And maybe had enemies that The future bids us to befriend Many truths have passed and had their day As new thought makes its silent weave Within our minds and we begin to share The knowledge that the axle holds In the ever turning wheel And recognise The Centre of All Things Out-working everywhere John D Lilley What really matters Dear Friends, Those of us born just after the first world war saw an awakening in some measure in the people who had suffered so much, and who questioned why all the killing, the futility of it and the realisation that you are not fighting for freedom, but to keep the rich man in his castle. There was compassion all around us as people shared their sorrow and helped each other. Their deep suffering had brought them to stillness. We knew the joy of being. We were taught a certain amount of bygone, and that right living gave us health, and to trust in our immune systems to get us well. Our food was grown and produced holistically: grown in the earth, enriched with sun and rain – no chemicals or pesticides and whatever else is done to produce modern food, which is slowly poisoning us. We only save ourselves when we save the world with us. This means writing letters of protest to the government, to the supermarkets. It means caring for the beautiful babies being born now and in the future, and who will not know what it is like to be healthy. The only thing that really matters is love. Politicians only take us further away from the reality of love. Everything can and is taken away from us, except love. The gift of love never dies. J Kloosterboer-Coley

One source of the one thing called life. The power of the great and silent space Holds all of nature in its embrace. For nature’s beauty and sacredness Are the innermost secrets Of this quiet unseen world Just being itself Undoing.. Just is.
Reflect upon this In quiet stillness As you observe Nature’s silent beauty. For you, are also This same nature … Now observing itself!
Friendship True friendship is the rock that you can lean on, friendship is the face that dries your tears. Friendship is the stepping stone o’er hurdles, that tend to fill your life with groundless fears. Friendship has opinions that you value, that are kept upon a shelf, above your own. Friendship can be the child that is within you, friendship lets you know you’re not alone. Friendship is a bond that holds together, all the little bits of you that fall apart. Friendship is the camera that takes photographs of happy memories, forever in your heart. In love and light, Patricia Harris Dear Cygnus Friends,

I bought your recently published book, Barbara Wilder’s Money is Love [200706, £5.99] and wanted to say thank you to Barbara for writing it. I also thought it might be nice for you to know what’s happened to me within two days of reading it.
I did the shringing exercise with my Japa Mala and it inspired me to dig out a painting I’d done of Kuan Yin. I woke up the next morning with three words on my tongue: money is love!

Our bodies remember Our bodies remember: they know all that is within them, for everything is stored in them. If we touch our heart it will speak to us, and as we dance we feel the whisperings of ancient times. In moving we are able to release patterns of crystallised energy, like magic. We feel lighter and our mind becomes clear. Notice the feeling after walking or stretching. Our bodies are in constant dialogue with our minds and if we pay attention we will be truly amazed at the wondrous messages it gives us. Listen now. What is your body telling you? Is there a part of it, to which you can relate more easily? Why is this? Listen... Perhaps a memory is surfacing. It’s calling you to look and feel, to go deeper. Breathe and relax your muscles, let go of tension within. Vow to honour your body, your temple. It is sacred, it serves you well, it is all knowing. Trust in the wisdom that is preserved in each and every cell. Light penetrates the cells. Love is the essence. Our bodies remember. Raine Geoghegan
Then I wrote a cheque to pay in the bank and I wrote ‘money is love’ and a smiley face on it and sent love in the cheque, to the seller, to the bank. The teller noticed it and beamed, and we started to talk... and she’s booked three Reiki sessions with me! Thank you again.
Best wishes, Liane Carter
