Why do we suffer?

Why do we suffer?

It’s a human urge, isn’t it, to try to find reasons for the things we experience. And the ‘Law of Attraction’ has provided many people today with a ready explanation for just about everything.

The books so popular with many of you are full of stories about people who, when disaster strikes, find the application of the Law of Attraction solves everything. But sometimes, when difficult things actually happen to us, and we start to observe more closely the patterns of events that led up to the experience, we cannot escape the conclusion that things are far more complex than we previously imagined.

We may come to recognise that ‘finding explanations for things’ falls unhealthily close to ‘blaming ourselves for things’. And that the reasons we may have latched onto as explanations for our misfortune are actually creating fear, which in turn limits the power of the infinitely compassionate Divine Source to heal us. And finally we may realise, as Alice Bailey points out in Esoteric Healing [200312, £12.00], and as Caroline Myss explains in Defy Gravity (see p.4), that the true reasons for suffering and illness are often so complex that they are in fact beyond the understanding of our finite minds, and that it is only when we ‘bow our heads’ in awe of all that we do not, and cannot, know that a space arises within us in which true healing can be allowed to begin.

A new Cygnus publication This idea brings us to our Editor’s Choice this month, which is Joe Vitale’s Zero Limits. We think

Why do we suffer? How do we heal?

you’ll find this book really helpful because it offers a healing method for something we’ve often observed when difficult or painful situations arise.

What we’ve noticed is that patterns of pain, suffering and conflict tend to repeat themselves, time and time again, sometimes throughout a single lifetime, sometimes over many lifetimes, sometimes in generation after generation of a bloodline, sometimes in humanity as a whole, until it is somehow possible to release the energy trapped in that painful pattern. It’s almost as though the pattern is a program that will keep on running until it is removed. This understanding was recognised by the indigenous Hawaiian people, and they developed a method for removing these programs. Called Ho’oponopono, it is this method that Joe Vitale introduces us to in Zero Limits.

We’re sure you’ll be very enthusiastic about this book, so to make it as economical as possible, and to allow you to make even more savings when you buy extra copies to give to friends, family or even your local therapy centre, we’ve published our own edition of Zero Limits exclusively for Cygnus members.

Gathering in resonance This month’s Book Circle Choice, is Jonathan Goldman’s The Divine Name (see p.9). We’ve chosen it not so much as a theme for discussion, but as something to practise, both individually and together. We’ve chosen it as the focus for your forthcoming gatherings because we are excited by the prospect of groups of Cygnus members coming together in vocal resonance and accelerated consciousness. Collectively, intoning according to Jonathan’s fascinating instruction and example, which you’ll find on the accompanying CD, you can utilize the Divine Name to project sacred sound on a global level, for peace and harmony. We’d love to hear how you get on.

Do we choose to suffer?

A couple of years ago, Diana Cooper wrote an article for us in which she mentioned a book called Courageous Souls. At the time there was no way we could find to offer the book to you, so we had to save Diana’s message of enthusiasm for later. Well, the good news is that the book has at last found its way to us, newly entitled Your Soul’s Plan, so here is some of what Diana had to say about it, and you can read an extract from the book on p.6.

‘Robert Schwartz tells the stories of people who have extreme challenges, and asks, ‘Are these conditions and events pre-planned into their lives?’ He accesses their pre-birth planning sessions with extraordinarily interesting and detailed results. In many cases he records the entire pre-birth conversations between the person who chooses the challenge and all those who will incarnate as friends and family and whose lives would inevitably be affected. Some of these pre-birth negotiations touched my heart to the core, for the love was palpable between souls who would on Earth offer each other growth challenges.

This book truly expanded my understanding of

pre-birth planning and karma. I felt a deeper sense of forgiveness and non-judgement developing in me as I read it. I could only wonder at the courage of the souls who plan difficult challenges, often for the greater good of many people.’

Transformation through adversity I had a great conversation with Ann Napier recently, and we found ourselves talking about one of her favourite books, which she likes because it highlights a difficult truth: that if our deepest prayer is for inner transformation and spiritual growth, then there may be nothing that answers that prayer so rapidly as an experience of profound adversity. Simply through the act of meeting such situations with as much authenticity and openness as we can muster, we are given opportunities to overcome all kinds of internal and external obstacles and gain as inner possessions qualities that before we could only long for. So we are delighted that Findhorn Press have published a new edition of Anne Edwards’ ‘X7’ transcriptions first published in 1996 (see p.7). These are messages received telepathically in the 1950s by psychics known as the Network of Light, from a group of prisoners trapped in a Siberian salt mine, who entered into such an advanced stage of spiritual development that they began to refine the vibratory rate of their bodies and that of surrounding matter until they could experience themselves as beings of Light.

These writings have great spiritual significance and can act as an important guide for anyone experiencing their own esoteric or spiritual transformation. Ann described them as some of the most influential words she has ever read, so, if you’re looking for a book to add to your core reading list, The Mysterious Story of X7 is prime.

Waves of gratitude Thank you so much for all your kind messages for Ann, Geoff and the family as they continue their healing journey. We hope you understand that they cannot reply personally to you all, but that waves of gratitude find their way to you each month on our Cygnus swan’s wings.

As a thought to leave you with, then, we’d like to say this: whatever else healing may be, we believe that it is above all something we do with and for each other, each of us in our own unique way. In that sense we hope you will find in this Review insights that will broaden and deepen your understanding of why we suffer and how we can heal.

With many blessings and much love, Sarah and Ann

HEALTH, & THE LAW OF ATTRACTION CARDS Esther & Jerry Hicks

Can positive thoughts help us heal? Do negative thoughts inevitably make us ill? While the latter may not be true, the former certainly is, and this useful card deck offers positive affirmations, thoughts and meditations selected from the teachings of Abraham to help you connect with the health-giving potentials of the cosmos. Every part of your life, say Esther and Jerry Hicks, is experienced through the perspective of your physical body and when you feel good physically, everything you see looks better.

When we are in pain, however, it is truly difficult sometimes to feel good emotionally, and we need all the help we can get. By using these cards on a daily basis, you can be helped to develop positive thoughts that will make it easier for you to have good feelings in your physical body. Ponder them, and you will find a new 'point of attraction' will begin to be activated within you that can eventually lead to a wonderful mood or attitude. By choosing affirmations from this deck that feel right for you, and focusing on them with intention, you will be helped to find feelings of relief even when your body is hurting or sick. This in turn can greatly enhance your ability to heal physically.

GIFTS OF HOPE & WISDOM

CARE OF THE SOUL IN MEDICINE Thomas Moore

Few experiences stir the emotions and throw a person into crisis as illness does, affecting not only the body but the spirit and soul. Yet the current health-care system is not structured around these considerations. Care of the Soul in Medicine is Thomas Moore’s vision for improving health care. Moore speaks of the importance of healing a person rather than simply treating a body. While sharing stories from his personal and professional life, he gives advice to both health-care providers and patients for maintaining dignity and humanity, providing spiritual guidance for dealing with feelings of mortality and threat, and encouraging patients to not only take an active part in healing but also to view illness as a positive passage to new awareness.

SUMMER’S PATH Scott Blum

save

40%!

Although this story is fictional, Scott Blum delved deep inside his own experiences while writing it. Indeed, Summer’s Path deals with very difficult subjects that many of us will have to confront sometime in our lives. It is the story of Don, a terminally ill man who comes face-to-face with his personal destiny under extraordinary circumstances.

On his deathbed he meets an angel of death who promises to help him with a graceful exit.

As Don prepares to say his last goodbyes to his loving wife, the angel attempts to change Don’s perspective about his mortality and proposes an exceptionally unique option, with a ‘twist in the tail’. He leads Don through a beautiful meditation on life and death, revealing various healing and spiritual concepts, including walk-ins, embodiment, and soul destiny. On this magical journey of self-realization, Don discovers that it’s never too late to learn profound life lessons about ourselves and our loved ones. These difficult experiences are, says Scott Blum, gifts from the universe to help us on our journey. He believes that when we take the time to integrate all of our experiences with our present, we are able to draw from our entire past and ultimately begin to share our hard-earned wisdom with others. So, let the lessons of Summer’s Path help you to find the story within you.

DEFY GRAVITY Caroline Myss

In Defy Gravity, Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical – it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason and the simple logic of cause and effect. Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide range of illnesses, and studying faiths and healing traditions of cultures worldwide, she explains the mystical laws that build the spiritual strength needed to heal.

Integral to this mystical healing approach is the save engagement of the soul, which we experience 41%! through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern the soul. These eternal truths hold the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. As Caroline says, you can heal any illness, you can channel grace, and you can learn to live fearlessly.

The idea is to love everything. Love the extra fat, the addiction, the problem child or neighbour or spouse; love it all. Love transmutes the stuck energy and frees it.

6. Inspiration is more important than intention Intention is trying to control life based on the limited view of the ego; inspiration is receiving a message from the Divine and then acting on it. Intention works and brings results; inspiration works and brings miracles.

Which do you prefer?

How to heal yourself Here is one of the Ho’oponopono proven ways to heal yourself (or anyone else). Remember that what you see in another is also in you, so all healing is self-healing. No one else has to do these processes but you. The entire world is in your hands.

Divine creator, father, mother, son as one . . .

If I, my family, relatives, and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives, and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds, and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your forgiveness. . . . Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies, and vibrations and transmute these unwanted energies to pure light. . . . And it is done.

ROBERT SCHWARTZ

Finding direction In May of 2003, I was leading an unfulfilling life as a self-employed marketing and communications consultant. Although I enjoyed some of my work, I did not derive deep satisfaction from any of it. I often felt that if I were to fall off the face of the Earth, my clients would hardly notice; they would simply plug someone else into my role. More important, my life was not a unique expression of my soul. A spiritual but not a religious person, I longed to make a contribution to the world that would be ‘uniquely me,’ but I had no idea what that might be.

I had exhausted the usual routes one explores to find meaning and purpose. I was lost and floundering. Then, an inspiration came to me: why not consult a medium? Although I had a strong belief in God, I had never (as far as I knew) directly experienced the metaphysical. I felt I had nothing to lose. I researched mediums and selected someone with whom I felt comfortable. save My session with the medium took £5.00! place on May 7, 2003. I remember the exact date because on that day my life changed. I told the medium very little about myself, describing my circumstances only in the most general terms. She explained that each of us has spirit guides, nonphysical beings with whom we plan our lives prior to incarnation.

Through her I was able to speak with mine.

They knew everything about me – not only what I had done but also what I had thought and felt. For example, they referred to a specific prayer I had said to God some five years earlier. At a particularly difficult time I had prayed, ‘God, I can’t do this alone.

Please send help.’ My guides told me that additional nonphysical assistance had been provided. ‘Your prayer was answered,’ they said. I was astounded.

Pre-birth plans Eager to understand the suffering I had experienced, I asked my guides about the major challenges I had faced. They explained that I had planned these challenges before birth – not for the purpose of suffering, but for the growth that would result. I was shaken by this information. My conscious mind knew nothing of pre-birth planning, yet intuitively I sensed truth in their words.

Although I did not realize it at the time, my session with the medium triggered a profound spiritual awakening for me. I would later understand that this awakening was really a remembering – a remembering of who I am as an eternal soul and, more specifically, what I had planned to do on Earth.

6 www.cygnus-books.co.uk

For the next few weeks I continued with life as usual, although the information from my guides was constantly on my mind. I did not know what to do with it. One afternoon I took a break from work and went for a walk – and had an experience even more profound than my session with the medium. I suddenly felt overwhelming, unconditional love for every person I saw! No words can adequately convey the power of this love. It was of an intensity and depth I had never experienced and did not know was possible.

YOUR SOUL’S PLAN Robert Schwartz

Would you like to understand the deeper meaning of your greatest challenges? Your Soul’s Plan tells the stories of ten individuals who – like everyone – planned before birth to experience great challenges. Working with four gifted mediums and channels, author Robert Schwartz explores what they chose – and why. He presents actual pre-birth planning sessions in which souls discuss their hopes for their upcoming lifetimes. In so doing he opens a window to the other side where we, as eternal beings, design both our trials and our potential triumphs. Through these remarkable stories of pre-birth planning, you can learn why each of us decides to experience such challenges as illness, the death of a loved one, and accidents; understand how you as a soul create your life blueprint; and consciously use your challenges to foster spiritual growth. You will learn that the people in your life, including your parents and children, are there at your request, motivated by their love for you to play roles that you scripted. Now you can find healing in replacing anger, guilt, and blame with forgiveness, acceptance, and peace and deepen your appreciation of, and gratitude for, life as a soul-expanding, evolutionary process.

For each person – the mother pushing her baby in a stroller, the cab driver waiting for a fare, the child playing at the corner, the barber cutting hair behind the window of his barbershop – I felt pure, limitless love.

Though I had never before heard of such an experience, I knew intuitively what was happening: I was in enhanced, immediate communion with my soul. In effect my soul was saying to me, ‘This love is who you are.’ I now believe my soul gifted me with this experience to facilitate the work I would soon begin.

Your Soul’s Plan

Inner exploration I became obsessed with reading about spirituality and metaphysics. As I read I thought often about pre-birth planning. All my life I had viewed my challenges as nothing more than meaningless suffering and their occurrences as random and arbitrary. Had I known that I’d planned my challenges, I would have seen them rich with purpose.

That knowledge alone would have greatly eased my suffering. Had I also known why I’d planned them, I could have consciously learned the lessons they offered. Feelings of fear, anger, resentment, blame, and self-pity would have been replaced by a focus on growth. Perhaps I might even have been grateful for the challenges.

During this period of intense study and inner exploration, I met a woman who is able to channel her soul and who agreed to let me speak with her soul about pre-birth planning. I had no knowledge of channeling and was taken aback when she went into a trance and another consciousness, one clearly distinct from hers, began to speak through her. I spoke with her soul for fifteen hours over the course of five meetings.

These conversations were thrilling. They verified and complemented my reading and study. Her soul told me in detail about her own pre-birth planning: the various challenges that had been discussed and the reasons some were selected. Here I had direct, specific confirmation of a phenomenon of which very few people were aware.

Finding your Soul I now understood why I had planned certain challenges for myself: I wanted to take the journey those who read my book, Your Soul’s Plan, may also take. I, too, at times felt victimized by the universe and blamed others for the ‘bad’ things that happened to me. I saw my challenges as pointless, empty suffering and doubted my worth when I did not rise to them in the way I would have liked. But with my knowledge of pre-birth planning, I now realize that an entirely different perspective on life challenges is possible. In writing Your Soul’s Plan, I set out to teach what I had most needed to learn.

It takes a great deal of courage to live the plans you made before you were born. My desire, my most fervent wish, is that you recognize the tremendous courage you show in every moment of every day when, with each breath, you reaffirm your decision to embrace and learn from your own challenges. Within that recognition, you will find your soul.

ANNE K EDWARDS

In the 1950s, some remarkable messages were received telepathically by a woman in the West. They appeared to come from dissidents – scientists, judging by the way they spoke – who had been imprisoned underground in a mine in the USSR. What gave these prisoners most pain was that, cut off from all contact with their fellow human beings, they could no longer serve humanity or give it their love. In utter desperation they prayed for guidance, which came in the most astounding form. Here is a small taste: 4 March 1955 While we were attempting to record the results of our findings we became what you might call etherealized. Our bodies were refined to a pure channel for the stream of light now being transmitted to us.

Our coarse daily diet merely sufficed to maintain life, but we came to know that we needed very little food in order to keep our bodies strong, fine and clean. We were at all times absorbing the rarified essence of the true quality of being. Our auras took on tremendously brilliant colourings, and with such transformation came the ability to translate our consciousness to a place where we could untie with those who were receiving the higher instructions.

11 March 1955 In all our work we acknowledged the Presence of the Christ in our midst. We knew that without His radiations nothing was possible to us, and with them, ‘all things are possible’. We also knew that by giving recognition to His radiations they became a part of us and we were uplifted in mind, healed in body and made receptive in heart to the greater teachings. We knew that man must first learn to live with his fellow men before he can become aware that he is a spiritual being and can wield the Light. The Light in itself is an impersonal force and may be wielded as a destructive weapon as well as one which brings forth forbearance, faith and hope to mankind.

We therefore learned to live with each other, not without difficulty under such conditions. This was a test of our ability to mingle our radiations, to love, to serve and to manifest patience. After many tests we became finally as one man, each acting according to his individual pattern or mould. No two men are alike, each is an individual in God’s sight, as are the finger prints. Each must learn his lessons in his own way, but in learning them come to the full realization that he is one with the great all-knowing, all-seeing Presence, and can never be separate from any of its manifestations. ‘Do unto others as you would be done by’; ‘Love thy neighbour as thyself’ became our watchwords.

Transformation through Adversity

Our thought for today: Love one another so that you may fully experience the harmony of the vibrations of light.

25 March 1955 So deeply have we gone into the pain that makes for pure manifestation of the Christ Love, that we feel the experience of each individual. Nothing is achieved in expression of the Love without pain, patience and perseverance. Out of the darkness comes the light, and man cannot give full recognition to the Light until he has dwelt in darkness. After repeated tests over many years we came to know that the finest, most subtle shadings THE MYSTERIOUS STORY OF X7 Anne K Edwards, foreword by Robert Sardello

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.

must be used if we were to achieve harmony; and if we could not achieve harmony, how then could we expect to transmit our radiations for the good of all men? Then came a time when we found a subtle blending of forces which would ease tension, dissolve fear, and render the consciousness receptive to the great impersonal love which is the atmosphere we breathe. Mother of pearl, translucently beautiful, with many fine

irradiations of the qualities of love, could best reach the consciousness of man. Love is the very substance of being, the foundation of life itself and the harmony of all spheres in expression.

8 April 1955 The whole body of man, physical, emotional and mental, is composed of very fine radiations. That he is unaware of this makes it no less true. The cell life is in a constant state of transmutation in response to such radiations, and man’s thought processes determine what he becomes, when he is resolved to become a being of light who can make or remake his manifest form according to his desires. Our desire was, after receiving the Presence and becoming aware of His mission, to project radiant bodies which would in turn become servers or saviours of mankind.

We made many tests throughout years of measured time, to discover how we could manifest in form in the very heart of the earth, delivering it from its condensed state of consciousness and also delivering man from bondage to that heavy condensation.

We knew it to be a matter of vibration, a quality of irradiation which would stimulate the use of accelerated currents of light. But how to enter the earth and project the necessary accelerated currents?

We tested by digging deep in our own caves and going in body form to animate the life of the earth. This produced some response but was actually little more than a man who digs for coal or other minerals may do. We knew then that we ourselves must be so transformed that the earth would open to receive us. We began our translation into the finer elements by refraining from the coarse food set before us. We began to use the ‘Manna from Heaven,’ or the etherealized substance. We partook only of this, finding consolation in the Presence, who seemed to be always available. We used the colour tone radiations as they had been presented to us, and they became a part of us.

We then seemed to go into deep trance, where we beheld the physical body as light and light only. We were shown the heart of the earth opening to us as the womb of a mother open to receive the seed. We felt ourselves to be a unit enfolded within the earth and it became one with us.

Then only did we feel the transformation of the higher voltage to that of the lesser, and the transition begin to take place.

Our records do not show the length of time but we became indeed earth beings, partaking of the substance of Mother Nature.

CHOOSING YOUR DESTINY REALITY TRANSURFING 1: THE SPACE OF VARIATIONS Vadim Zeland

If you want to take your understanding of the Law of Attraction to the next level, Reality Transurfing is for you. Russian quantum physicist Vadim Zeland was not enjoying his life. In fact, try as he might to prevent it, life was getting worse and worse. Then one night he had a powerful dream, in which a wise man set him a riddle: ‘Everyone can acquire the freedom to choose anything they want. Here is your riddle: how do you get this freedom? If you solve the riddle, your apples will fall into the sky.’ Naturally enough, Zeland thought the idea of apples falling into the sky sounded quite silly at the time, but when he woke up he had the strong feeling that some very important information had somehow been put into his mind, and that his task would be to find a way to express it in words. Thus Transurfing was born: a method for literally choosing your destiny, in much the same way as you would choose an item in a shop! In this first volume of the series, Zeland explains how to navigate what he calls ‘the Space of Variations’ – a metaphysical information structure storing scenarios of all possible events. It is from this space, says Zeland, that our dreams come, as do clairvoyance, intuitive knowledge and insight. And under certain energy conditions – which he explains in the book – thoughts can materialize in any sector in the space of variations, and what you have conceived or created will be realised.

REALITY TRANSURFING 2: A RUSTLE OF MORNING STARS Vadim Zeland

In the second volume of Vadim Zeland’s Reality Transurfing series, you learn even more about how the Law of Attraction really works. It is well known that we need to understand the power of intention if we want our dreams to be realised.

However, Zeland explains that there are two sorts of intention: internal and external, and that it is only when these two are in alignment that manifestation occurs.

REALITY TRANSURFING 3: FORWARD TO THE PAST Vadim Zeland

To practise Transurfing – which is a method of allowing rather than making our desires materialize – you need to be in good health. In this book Vadim Zeland explains how to allow good health, rather than ‘fighting’ for your health. He then shows how to achieve the same health in our relationships – not by learning how to influence people, for this, he says, is inefficient, but by allowing the world to come and meet you with open arms.

Finally, he describes what he means by Forward to the Past... and what he has to say is very, very intriguing!

JONATHAN GOLDMAN

It is of paramount importance that we as a species unite, and experience a quantum evolutionary leap in human consciousness. The question is: how?

What if you had discovered a form of technology that had the potential to unite the world and bring peace to the planet?

What if you’d found a technique for sounding the personal name of God that could change the world? What would you do? This was my dilemma once I had made the discovery.

The Divine Name I have been personally engaged in sound healing since 1980, helping pioneer this field. In 1982, I founded the Sound Healers Association, the first organization dedicated to research on, and awareness of, the uses of sound and music for healing and transformation. In my investigation into this field, I’ve explored a wide variety of different modalities of sound that could positively shift and change the body, mind, and spirit – everything from modern scientific devices to ancient mystical instruments and chants, all reputed to create healing and transformation.

Of all the vehicles for effecting positive change that I’ve encountered, the most potent has been the use of our own voice. And of all the ways of using our voice, the single most powerful sound that I’ve discovered and utilized has been that of the Divine Name.

The premise of the Divine Name is this: there is a universal sound that when properly intoned can bring us harmony and healing on both a personal and a planetary level. The fact that this vocalization is composed of vowels that can resonate both the physical body and subtle energy fields and that when properly intoned, it sounds strikingly like the personal name of God found in the Abrahamic traditions is purely coincidental. Or is it?

Legend has it that proper and reverential sounding of the Divine Name could bring one into contact with the ultimate Divine Creator being itself. Some believe that the actual act of the universe’s creation occurred with this sound.

The Divine Name was once said to have been known, but this knowledge disappeared nearly 2,500 years ago. It became prohibited to sound the Divine Name when reading the Old Testament, the religious text that links more than half of the world’s population. The Divine Name became secret, and then it became lost.

No one knew how it was actually pronounced.

Its sound became pure speculation.

What exactly is the Divine Name?

In Hebrew it is often referred to as the Tetragrammaton, or the four-letter name of God. It has been translated into English as YHVH, Yahweh, and even Jehovah. However, none of these are accurate. No one has known the correct name, since its exact pronunciation was lost millennia ago . . . that is, until now!

Sounding the Divine Name

Healing and transformation In truth, the Divine Name – the Tetragrammaton – as I interpret it, is composed purely of vowels.

This sequence of vowels can resonate both the physical and subtle energy centres of anyone who intones it. Thus, the Divine Name is transdenominational and applicable to all traditions of belief.

The Divine Name requires no musical ability.

Rather, it is a self-created sound that must be intoned in order to be experienced.

It is the most extraordinary vibratory energy I have encountered in my more than 30 years of research and investigation into the field of sound healing. It is a universal sound that all can experience – with extreme power for healing and transformation. It is now time to bring this name back and let it resonate through our hearts, minds and spirit; and to help usher in a new era in human consciousness of love and peace.

The aura in resonance I attended the International New Age Trade Show where the first day had been extremely busy for me, ending that night with my receiving two Visionary Awards. The following day I arrived quite late at the show in order to spend a couple of hours looking around. As the show was just about to close down, I passed by a booth that had ‘aura photography.’

At this booth, there was a monitor that dis-

played the real-time effects of people using the equipment. I was asked to sit down and try it.

However, I was tired and ready to leave the show – not particularly interested in having my aura photographed. But for some reason, I was guided to sit down, and as an experiment, to see if any changes would occur in my aura while intoning the Divine Name. Apparently, when I did this, the results were quite startling to everyone around the booth, including the aura-camera operator. Most aura photography shows one or two predominant colours swirling around a person. With these photos, there was an initial slight bluish purple before I began to vocalize the Divine Name. This bluish purple hue was not visible in the first of these blackand-white photos. However a pure white light began to emerge and then enveloped me.

It is not my purpose to validate aura photography or assign any particular meaning to the photographs. I do find it most interesting that rather than the traditional change in the colour of the photograph, which is usual when people try to affect their auras, these pictures demonstrate something quite different: As I started to sound the Divine name, white light immediately began to manifest. I’d never seen that before. I don’t believe anyone else had either.

No claims are made about what those pictures represent. They may well show one aspect of the power of the Divine Name to initiate light and love through sound. Or they may indicate something else. But the more I continue to work with the Divine Name, the more extraordinary events and occurrences manifest as a result.

Happiness – a powerful force Happiness is one of the most powerful forces in a human life. It opens us up and encourages us to love. It brings energy and appreciation, gratitude, reverence, and the capacity to invite adventure into our lives. It is incredibly important that we nurture it – for our health, wellbeing – and also to help make us more effective and loving human beings. Above all, happiness is a skill that can be learnt.

My friend, Chris Johnstone, has taught me much about the value of happiness and the importance of nurturing it. Whilst we expect to be happy, we are rarely taught how to be so as children. In the UK, one in four women and one in 10 men seek treatment for depression at some point in their lives and 10 times more people suffer from major depression now than in 1945. In the UK in 2007, there were 34 million prescriptions for anti-depressants. These figures have risen during the recession with more people losing their homes, jobs or businesses.

Dr Chris is an addictions specialist who has helped thousands of people overcome their problems, and he is a happiness ‘expert’. He works with Rob Hopkins, cofounder of The Transition Movement, and Joanna Macy, the inspirational teacher and activist who developed The Work That Reconnects.

Chris’s book, Find Your Power, is not just another boring pop psychology book. It is the distillation of his rich approach, helping people to become more effective and live the life they dream of. The book is also a call to adventure at this time of deep and challenging transition. It is for all of us who are looking for insight and skills to enable us to become more effective co-workers for a better world. Chris combines professional insights and experience with positive activism and his own unique brand of humanity. His message deserves to be heard.

HOW TO LIVE OFF-GRID Nick Rosen

LIVING YOUR TRUTH

WRITE YOUR MEMOIR: THE SOUL WORK OF TELLING YOUR STORY Allan G Hunter

Drawing from more than twenty five years of literary know-how, and modelled on a fifteen week college course, Write Your Memoir provides guidance for seekers wishing to delve into self-exploration through writing. Dr Hunter maintains that memoir writing should extend far beyond the idea of putting past events into a more understandable current perspective.

Keeping a document of one’s life, he tells us, is actually the basis of a psychic process called ‘soul work,’ which manifests as a desire to experience the state of being alive to the fullest. This unusual approach to memoir writing aims to generate more honest and genuine results that come from inner needs rather than outer expectations. Intended to clarify your developmental path as a writer, this is a valuable resource that emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the need for dealing with difficult material, transforming you in the process, resulting in significant growth of the soul.

THE ART OF EXTREME SELF-CARE Cheryl Richardson

Cheryl Richardson has learned that when we care for ourselves deeply and deliberately, we naturally begin to care for others in a healthier and more effective way. We become conscious and conscientious, living in truth, making our choices from a place of love and compassion instead of guilt and obligation, and discovering the deep interconnection of all things. The Art of Extreme Self-Care is her ‘handbook for the heart and mind’, guiding you into living and working in a soul-nourishing environment, expressing your true gifts, nurturing your emotional, physical and spiritual health. Cheryl Richardson offers twelve strategies, to be used one month at a time, challenging you to alter the behaviour patterns or circumstances that hold you back, find your natural rhythm and rediscover your passions.

DARE TO BE YOU Cecilia d’Felice

Living ‘off-grid’ – be it in a house or a yurt, a boat or a caravan – is all about loosening the ties that bind us to the familiar world of constraints such as commuting, mortgages and fast food, in order to find our own space and rediscover the joys of the natural world. Complete with camper van, Nick Rosen sets off around the UK on his offgrid quest, meeting along the way a huge variety of people who are living the dream.

Some off-gridders want to save the world, some live that way because it is all they can afford, and some just want to be free. Sincere but irreverent, this is Nick’s guide to avoiding pitfalls, to finding solutions (and to some brilliant gadgets) as he strives to perfect the skills of this practical, sustainable, freewheeling kind of self-sufficiency.

Psychologist Dr Cecilia d’Felice shows how cognitive behavioural and mindfulness therapy can help with life’s challenges and losses, leading to a life that you truly love. Written with a rare transparency and honesty, she combines practical advice, positive psychology and her own experiences to encourage a different way of relating to ourselves and our lives. The eight ‘workshops’ in the book are designed to get us thinking about the world we have created for ourselves.

DIANA COOPER

Developing telepathy The new children have evolved psychic gifts including telepathy. One of the problems is that they are reading our thoughts. If these do not align with our words they feel unsafe. So expect your child to be telepathic and watch your thoughts. Keep them focussed on a higher plane if you possibly can.

Also help your children to develop telepathy.

Make a game of it. Practise sending them colours or pictures and see what they pick up.

I used to play word games with my children when they were little and we had to give up because they would take the answer straight out of my mind and ‘guess’ it in one.

In Golden Atlantis they used 90% of their much larger brain. We use 10% of our much smaller ones. The new children will be using more of their innate skills as we move to a time when humans use 100% of their capacity. In The Wonder of Unicorns [181105], there is a whole chapter on psychic development games you can play with children.

Helping them to ground their high energies My guide Kumeka has explained that indigos, crystals and sensitive star children, who are often not properly grounded, do not fully access their soul energy. The cosmic wisdom does not pour into their crown chakras and run into their lower chakras so that they can use it. Instead, the light spills over their crown and into their aura where they can’t access it and their energy is scattered. There is a move by the spiritual hierarchy to assist these children by bringing in new energy that will help them to connect.

In the meantime you can aid them by placing their photo on an Orb of Archangel Jophiel who is in charge of the crown chakra. He will help them to take in their soul wisdom so that they can use it. It would enhance the energy if an Orb of Sandalphon was with it, to ground them. I have placed a photograph of one of my grandchildren on these two Orbs and it has really made a difference to her.

Many of my friends are placing photos of their children or grandchildren on Orb pictures so that they can absorb the light of the Archangels. For example, if your child needs protection place it on a photo of Archangel Michael.

You can find Orbs of Jophiel, Sandalphon and Michael in Ascension Through Orbs [190105] and also in the Orb Cards.

How to help the new children: Part 2

Autism As the new fast frequency children come in now to bring in the energy of the new age, the condition of autism is increasing rapidly. So what is it? Basically these souls are coming from a very high frequency into our low one and are struggling to bring their energy down. Some of them achieve it better than others. Most are incarnating for the first time but some are Lemurians or others who were in etheric bodies when they experienced Earth and have not been physicalised before. They are coming one step deeper into their bodies but not all the way.

The most important way we can help them is to keep the energy round them as high as possible. When the vibration is high they can relax and slip deeper into their bodies.

ORBS CARDS Diana Cooper & Kathy Crosswell

This beautiful set of 44 Orb Cards will inspire and empower you to connect with the energy of a particular Orb for personal and planetary transformation. The photographs feature many Archangels, Seraphim, Ascended Masters, Unicorns, Elementals and other angelic beings. A booklet gives detailed explanations about the Orb phenomenon, its special significance at this time of our spiritual evolution, and the messages brought to us by the beings on each Orb photograph.

Boxed set, 44 colour cards + 40pp booklet, 93mm x 93mm, 2009, RRP £9.99 Code: 191019 Cygnus Price £6.75

Most autistic children have a spirit in another dimension holding onto them. Part of the healing occurs when you persuade the spirit to let go. Very often it is an ancestor who is pulling at the spirit of the child. It can also be another being from their home planet who loves them and is concerned that they have taken on too much. Then every time the child has a tantrum or gets upset, they try to help them by holding onto them and this makes the situation worse.

Animals Because they are accepting and unconditionally loving, animals help ungrounded children.

While I was on holiday I read The Horse Boy

by Rupert Isaacson. It is the story of his autistic son and how he was healed by horse riding and a visit to the shamans of Mongolia. The love this man had for his child glowed from the pages. I was lost in admiration for his patience and understanding and fascinated by the journey he undertook to ease the boy’s condition.

Horses, and of course their spiritual counterparts, the unicorns help to bring a child’s spirit back into their body. Their high frequency and unconditional love make it easier for a soul who is vibrating on a similar level to ground. Over the years we have lost connection with animals and the nature kingdom. In Golden Atlantis every child had a dog, a cat and a rabbit and households enjoyed the company of other animals, looking after them, learning from them and recognising them as equals. In 2032 we will be bringing back the sacred energy of that time at an even higher level and it is important to let the new children enjoy the harmony, love and lessons of animals in their lives.

Music My friend Rosemary Stephenson is a healer who plays crystal bowls and sings. She was invited into an infants’ school to demonstrate for the children. Sixty little ones listened in total silence without fidgeting. When the Head Teacher asked them what they noticed, they all said how peaceful and calm they felt. A little boy piped up, ‘Those three over there have never moved and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them be still.’ Music soothes the souls of our children.

Much love, Diana Diana Cooper is author of eighteen books, including 2012 and Beyond [190902]. She is Principal of the Diana Cooper School which organises Angel Awareness Day. This year it is on 10.10.10 in London. See www.dianacooper.com

THE HORSE BOY Rupert Isaacson

Rupert and Kristin Isaacson were heartbroken when they learned that their threeyear-old son was autistic. And with each passing day Rowan’s growing isolation, his uncontrollable fits and each failed treatment filled them with despair.

One day Rowan escaped and ran into a field of horses. Rupert watched in horror, but saw a miracle occur as the horses responded lovingly to Rowan – and he to them. Could his affinity with the animals save him from his condition? The Isaacsons were moved to leave their home and travel to the plains of Mongolia, the spiritual home of the horse, and the realm of shamanic healers, mountain people and herds of reindeer, risking everything on an arduous epic horseback journey in search of a cure for Rowan and the rescue of their family. Miraculously, Rowan did find a road to recovery, helped by the combined healing powers of horses, and an old Mongolian shaman.

CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS Danielle van Dijk

Might it be possible to build a society in which tolerance, love and peace are the abiding principles? In this positive and inspiring book Danielle van Dijk shows how, beginning with our personal development, we can contribute to such a new, transformed world. She describes how we can develop a universal spiritual consciousness – what she refers to as Christ Consciousness – emphasizes that the Christian mysteries took place on the physical plane, and distinguishes with great clarity between Jesus as a human being, the incarnation of Christ on earth, and the cosmic Christ. She builds bridges between the spiritual research of Rudolf Steiner, the nag Hammadi writings and the gospels of Mary Magdalene and Judas, culminating in a comprehensive and wide-ranging picture of Christ.

By gaining insight into the nature of Christ’s being, and undertaking practical exercises described in this book, each of us can achieve the new Christ Consciousness.

THE BLUEPRINT OF ONENESS Saint Germain & Ashamarae McNamara

How wonderful would it be to release negative belief patterns effortlessly? How incredible would it feel if we could respond to any situation from a space of grace, ease, flow and love?

This is our natural state we are told in The Blueprint of Oneness. Jesus and Mary activated this ‘Blueprint’ from within, Moses did, Buddha did, and now you can too, using the guidance of Master Saint Germain, as channelled by Ashamarae McNamara. Saint Germain guides us through a direct inner experience to receive and realize his teachings. He invites you to serve all and love all, be love in action and allow love to flow. As you choose to be love in action you bring forth Source in and through you. By following the information in The Blueprint of Oneness you will assist the world in anchoring a wave of light of a magnitude that hasn’t been experienced before.

FROM OUR FRIENDS

Our great friend Jehanne Mehta sent us this beautiful poem to share with you. Let your heart sing as you read it aloud.

The Way the Heart Warms The way the heart warms when it opens to love Is the way the Earth warms in the spring, Never warm for only one person alone, It spreads warmth over everything.

The way the heart sings when it opens to love Is the way the lark sings in the air, Letting its blessings water the Earth, Showering down everywhere.

The way the heart hurts when it opens to love Is a mixture of pain and of joy, As this small chambered space in the cave of the breast Grows wide as the Earth and the Sky. The heart knows no limits when love is alight.

There’s no prison it cannot break through.

When the heart is in love the spirit is free For the tasks it has chosen to do.

The way the heart warms when it opens to love Is the way the Earth warms in the spring, Never warm for only one person alone, It spreads warmth over everything.

Jehanne Mehta
