Transition

There is an awareness of ‘something’ happening but it is not usually recognized what ‘it’ is until way after the event has finished -- transition.

As we grow older, gaining more consciousness and wisdom, there is a remembrance of our life’s adventures. Yet the feeling at times can be so far removed that it is hard to accept that it happened to the one observing. “Yes I was there, I did have those experiences”, as there is residue and various associations, but at times it feels as though it has happened to someone else.

And in a way, it did; as if it was another lifetime.

We can live many lifetimes, and each one is complete in itself.

Like looking at an old photo of yourself at kinder-garden or primary school -you sort of know it was you, but you don’t connect to that experience as you – With exceptions of course of when you were not total and still haven’t let it go.

Some people carry their past with them all throughout their lifetime because they will not let go – of the pleasant as well as the unpleasant.

There have been so many of those experiences in a person’s life, and although the memories are still stored somewhere in the brain, and bring back associations, it is no longer relevant. Those experiences do add to the overall experience of each moment, when associated with the particular moment, but in themselves they are not relevant. Looking back one can see how this is so.

Was there totality?

When an experience is unconditional, and total, it finishes a cycle.

We are here to experience -- everything we can, and when an experience is complete, it is complete, and it is time to move on. Is it really that easy, for most?

No, not so easy for the majority. The average human does not like change.

With the completion of the experience there may also be a completion with the people associated with those experiences of that time as well -- unless... and this is the most interesting point.

Have you noticed some certain people dropping out of your life?

Most people are locked into a cycle, and because they are not open, available, unconditional and total, the cycle continues -- sometimes for lifetimes. It is very, very rare to meet someone who has gone beyond their basic, ingrained and conditioned behavior.

Very rare.

If the cycle is complete for you, even if not for the other, the connection is complete, and over.

Any continued connection is sentimental and will just take the one who has moved on, back. In fact, if the connection with people from the past, who are not open and moving, continues, then it means that the cycle is not yet finished. So difficult to let go and move on sometimes – into the unknown.

Most people from your past, still see you THAT way and hold you in the past. They do not update their view of you. Without knowing, they are trying to hold you to the vision of the one they knew. It is convenient for them and not healthy for you. "Every second is the first second of your life."

It has often been shared, that it is not about the level of consciousness one lives, but the state of unconditional openness. It seems that there is no end event, just the journey.

Have you ever noticed sometimes when meeting a new person; that there is a great affinity, recognition, familiarity -- even though you know that you have never met them before?

They are vibrating at a similar level as you. You may have met them in another lifetime, but even if not, you know that you know them.

If you both expand on a similar level of consciousness you can easily stay connected -- forever.

Even though we ALL will remain connected on a human level forever, there are those that clearly evoke intense feelings in us; which may be because they are the ones who are looking beyond just making their own personal lives work.

So the suggestion is, yet again, to look at your life.

Are you stuck in a cycle? Is this phase finished, but you are still holding on?

Are the people you are spending time with, assisting you to evolve?

Investigate, and know that I am sending encouragement and love... “If you are getting more and more miserable, then you are on the trip of being an egomaniac. If you are becoming more and more tranquil, silent, happy, connected, then you are on another trip - the trip of self-love. If you are on the trip of ego you will become destructive to others -because the ego tries to destroy the 'thou'. If you are moving towards self-love, the ego will disappear. And when the ego disappears, you allow the other to be himself or herself; you give total freedom. If you don't have any ego you cannot create an imprisonment for the other you love; you cannot create a cage. You allow the other to be an eagle in the high heavens. You allow the other to be himself or herself; you give total freedom. Love gives total freedom. Love IS freedom -- freedom for you and freedom for the object of your love. Ego is bondage -- bondage for you and bondage for your victim. In fact, it is the sexual energy itself that transforms into your enlightenment.� Osho

Have a lovely day, unless you already have other plans ..Something we should all remember.

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.

I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.'

'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied.

Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged .. it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.

'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories!

Think about who you need to thank for their part in filling your Memory Bank.

And keep depositing!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred.

2. Free your mind from worries.

3. Live simply.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.

Never Lose Hope Hope is a beautiful response to many difficult questions.

Hope only requests that you believe in it.

Hope wants that you receive.

Hope lifts and maintains the spirit until help arrives.

Each time the day doesn’t go as planned, hope is there as a reassuring guide that helps us understand.

Hope is a place quiet and intimate where you can always find refuge.

Hope is a warm and welcome conviction that marvelous possibilities do exist.

Hope is all of these wonderful things and all you need to know is that when all that remains is hope, it is still a lot; what you have.

Testimonials When you touched my heart, I felt one of the best and most beautiful experiences of my life, and even sweeter was warmth that I felt in my stomach. I felt something so beautiful that left me feeling deep tranquility and peace.

I felt as though a negative energy inside of me disappeared and I saw a violet color. I also saw a yellow light when you touched my head and saw/felt that someone was there beside me. VĂ­ctor Alfonso Esquivel SĂĄnchez

The Wisdom of Inner Silence

Speak only when necessary. Think what you are going to say, before opening your mouth. Be brief and precise, as every time you speak a word, you also let go of a part of your Chi (energy). In this way you will learn to develop the art of speaking without losing energy Never make promises that you cannot fulfill. Don't complain and don't include, words that project negative images in your vocabulary, as they will create all around you all that you have fabricated with your energy filled words.

If you don't have anything good, truthful and useful to say, is better to stay silent and not say anything. Learn to be as a mirror. Listen and reflect your energy. The Universe is the best example of a mirror that nature has given us, because the Universe accepts without conditions our thoughts, our emotions, our words, our actions, and sends us back the reflection of our own energy thru the form of the different circumstances that present themselves in our lives.

If you identify with success you will have success. If you identify with failure, you will have failure. Therefore we can see that the circumstances that we live are simply external manifestations of the contents of our internal dialogue. Learn to be as the Universe, listening and reflecting the energy without heavy emotions and without prejudices, as being like a mirror without emotions, we learn how to speak in a different way, with a mental power of stillness and silence, without giving opportunities to impose our personal opinions and avoiding excessive emotional reactions, simply allowing a sincere and fluid communication.

Don't put too much importance on yourself and learn humbleness, because the more that you appear superior, intelligent and important; the more that you will become a prisoner of your own image and live in a world of tension and illusions.

Be discreet; preserve your intimate life, in this way you will remain free of the opinions of others and you will lead a tranquil life becoming invisible, mysterious, indefinable, and bottomless like the Tao. Don't compete with others, become like the earth that nourishes us, that gives us what we need. Help others to refine their qualities, to discover their virtues, help them to shine.

The competitive spirit helps the ego to grow and inevitably creates conflicts. Have confidence in yourself; preserve your internal peace by avoiding entering into provocation and others traps.

Don't commit too easily. If you act in a precipitous way without having awareness of a situation, you may create complications for yourself. Take a moment of internal silence to consider all that presents itself and make your decision afterwards. This will allow you to develop wisdom and more confidence in yourself.

When there is something that you don't know or if you don't have the answer to a question that has been asked accept it. The fact of not knowing is very uncomfortable to the ego, because it likes knowing everything; it always has to be right, always giving its opinion making everything personal. In reality the ego knows nothing; it simply wants others to believe that it knows.

Avoid judging and criticizing, Tao is impartial and without judgments, it doesn't criticize people, it has an infinite compassion and doesn't know duality. Every time you judge someone, the only thing you do is express your personal opinion which is a loss of energy, creating pure noise. Judging is a way of hiding one’s own weaknesses. The wise tolerates everything and would not say a word.

Remember that everything that disturbs you from others is a projection of everything that you have not yet resolved in yourself. Let each one resolve their own problems and focus your energy on your own life. Occupy yourself, and don't defend yourself. When you attempt to defend, in reality you are giving too much importance to the words of others and you give more strength to their aggression. If you accept and don’t defend you are demonstrating that the words of others don’t affect you, as they are simply their opinions and you don't need to convince others in order to be happy.

Your internal silence makes you strong. Regularly make a word fasting to reeducate the ego, which has a habit of speaking all of the time. Practice the art of no speaking. Take one day each week to abstain from speaking, or at least a few hours each day, depending on your schedule. It's an excellent exercise to do and learn the unlimited universe of Tao. You will progressively develop an art of speaking without speaking and your true internal nature will replace your artificial personality, allowing the light of your heart to shine thru in the powerful wisdom of silence. Thanks to this strength you will attract everything that you need to awaken and liberate yourself completely. But there has to be care that the ego doesn't interfere. This power is present when the ego is still and in silence. If your ego imposes on and abuses this power, this same power can become like a poison affecting all of your being and resulting in a loss of peace.

Remain in silence, cultivate your inner being. Respect the lives of others and of everything that exists in the world. Don't try to force, manipulate and control others.

Become your own master and let others be how they are, or those that have the capacity to just be. Said in other words, live following the sacred life of Tao. Alexis is a transmitter of energy called Oneness Blessing which initiates a process of awakening the Divine Presence within you; taking you towards Oneness, and enabling you to see the reality of what you are in every moment. Also healing your body, your relationships, and recognizing the divinity in the experience of the present moment…. Conscious awakening is the ability to see reality as it is, without the layers of interference and interpretation imposed by the mind. Oneness Blessing is a transfer of Divine energy which helps us to disidentify from conflict and suffering, taking us to states of inner peace, joy, happiness and Oneness. This energy called Oneness Blessing is universal & useful in all spiritual traditions. It enhances our ability to connect from the Heart with the Divine & with all of the people that we love. Many report that after receiving Oneness Blessing they experience healing on all levels, as well as powerful and ongoing spiritual awakening. Most people are seeking harmony and joy. We have discovered that it is possible for everybody to live in that state of inner freedom, even permanently.

Testimonial In reality, it was a very unique experience completely out of the routine. I wish to express my appreciation for this course and I hope that it isn’t the only one that we receive as we as a corporation, really need it. Thank you.

2009 is to Dream and Bring Forward a New Creation Dream!!! Let your feelings grow wings and fly beyond the farthest horizons of your imagination, though the fabric of your dreams be checkered by the longings of pleasure and victory.

May it be of the hues of growth and service. May the forms, that dance in the flames of your imagination... be of loving friendship from many and respect from most... including yourself.

Dream of a moment when your mothers and fathers, sons and daughters would embrace you when they realize the trust they reposed in you has come true.

Dream of a moment when in your family, the coolness of hurt is replaced by the warmth of love.

Dream of a moment when all who know you turn you into an idol to be emulated.

Dream of a moment when even those who dislike you are touched by your acts of kindness and look upon you with esteem.

Dream of a moment when millions will bless the moment you were born.

Dream of yourself being part of a world that knows no divisions.

Dream of an Earth where the rivers are full, the forests green, sunlight bright, mountains tall and laughter everywhere... and after you have dreamt pray, the Cosmic Dreamer to help turn these into realities. Fatigued with excitement, move then into the quiet of your consciousness.�

Life is movement; an oscillation between order and disorder, light and shadow, the arising and the ceasing.

In the natural course of things, order as it moves towards disorder would move you away from Oneness towards division. As conscious beings you could use the power of the blessing to cause this flow to move back from division into Oneness.

In the human body, whenever there is an information disconnect between the various cells, it strays away from Oneness. A return to Oneness between the various systems of a human body is a return to health. In a family, whenever there is hurt and mistrust, it is a movement away from Oneness. A healing of the heart and a flowering of love is the way to return to Oneness. Within oneself, in moments of conflict between the right and the wrong, the right and the more-right there is inner disorder. There is a part of you, you deny; whose desires and voices you choose to ignore. This is inevitable and is part of life’s drama. Be that as it may, these splintered parts of yourself need to be healed; need to be accepted. A return to Oneness within is possible through the acceptance of life and the experience of oneself without resistance.

As the universal forces bring about disorder in the body, between the various personalities, in the family, in the comity of nations and the varied forms of life; there is

an opportunity to raise life to a greater level of order and Oneness. Remember therefore that every challenge that comes in the form of disorder and division is beckoning you towards a greater level of order and Oneness. This oscillation is but a never-ending dance of creation.

Therefore let the blessing be received today with the intent of being aware of the patterns of order moving into disorder in every arena of life. A total and non-resistant awareness of these patterns is Oneness.

Let me repeat: A total and non-resistant awareness of these patterns is Oneness. - Sri Bhagavan –

FAMILY I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we ! said goodbye. But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.

"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart was broken.

I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.

He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise; you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall!

I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"

He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.

I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; !

I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."

He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay, I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?

So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

What is Truth?

Lao Tzu is quoted as saying: "The truth cannot be said. If it is said, it is not the truth." If that is true, then that statement wouldn’t even be true would it!

As I see it, it is true that the truth cannot be said, and it can be heard. It could be that, if there is such a thing as the truth, then it is within us all, so the vibration of what is said could evoke the truth from within us to another level of comprehension.

And what is truth? That is a very interesting question isn't it. People have been discussing the subject for always. Is there such a thing as truth? We just take it for granted that there is, but do we know that? Do we know even the basis -- of anything?

We just assume that what we assume is assumable.

It might be that everything is true, and not true -- depending....

If we look at the situation in layers, then everything could be true at one level, and not at other levels. To a person at one level of development of consciousness it could be seen that something is so, yet to someone at another level it definitely is not so. True at one level, not at another. And we assume that those at the top level of consciousness know?

Lao Tzu is also quoted as saying: "Everyone seems so certain, and I walk as though upon thin ice."

Jesus is quoted as saying: "When you become as a little child, then will you enter the kingdom of heaven."

Imagine that you have lost part of your memory, so everything is unfamiliar to you. Imagine the awe you would feel when you look at a flower. To you it does not have a name, or a color, it is just an amazing phenomenon. Imagine the fascination when you meet someone, and see their face moving, and hear them talk.

Answering a telephone, or listening to the radio and imagine watching a television for the very first time! Amazing. Yet we take it all for granted, and in doing so, miss the moment.

We make so many assumptions, and just assume that they are true.

It could be that there are many levels of developed consciousness on this planet. Some are at a deeply undeveloped stage, and others more expanded.

No one is better than anyone else; just at different levels of development.

There is a young Chinese American boy that gave his first public piano concert at the age of three. He practices eight hours a day, and often gets up in the night to practice. At seven he is famous and is the soloist with large orchestras.

No doubt, he was born with a great talent. He is what we call, a genius.

And a lot of his success is due to his mother. At two years old the boy came home from a party and sang a nursery rhyme that he had just heard.

She put him at the piano, and he played it. Recognizing his talent, she encouraged him. She found that he could play anything that he had heard just once.

There is a combination of events here. Talent, aptitude, encouragement, support, and enthusiasm -- both is needed of the genius, and the supporter.

I often think of the parable Jesus is said to have told about the master who went away leaving his servants with different amounts of talents of silver.

Some invested it, and doubled it, and some just kept it safe. The master rewarded the ones who had invested. Saying: "On to those that have, much will be given, and on to those that have not, even that which they have will be taken away." Consider not the money, but the wealth of the talents.

You could check with yourself -- are you investing your talents?

It could be seen that we are all geniuses -- in our own unique way.

What is your talent? Are you investing in it? Are you developing it?

When someone discovers their "thing" and does it, you will find they are fulfilled. Do you feel fulfilled? Have you found your "thing?"

The sensation of fulfillment will arise in you -- when you accept this moment, just as it is. It is that simple.

Testimonial My experience was one of feeling heat and tingling all throughout my body. I saw many colors that passed through my mind very fast, colors like violet, dark blue, pink, green and red. I also noticed thoughts as they invaded my mind. They didn’t have any relevance to what we were doing and I was successful in concentrating on our exercise. Thank you for helping the people of Mexico to realize that we unknowingly live in unconsciousness, because we lack the knowledge of how to be in harmony with the vibrations of the universe.

Your thoughts, a tool for transformation We've come to understand that thoughts are energy. Actions are energy. Your entire life is filled with energy frequencies. Pay careful attention to what you project into the world. Thoughts are can be very powerful attractors. A recent study shows just how powerful we really are at the basic level of our mere thoughts.

There is now scientific evidence proving just how important our thoughts can be to health and personal wellbeing. Recent studies show that DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes.

Our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but it also serves as data storage and communication. This is an important key to changing our DNA structures. We only use 10% of our DNA for building proteins in the body. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered "junk DNA". But is it really "junk" or useless DNA? The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless 90%, follows the same rules as all our human languages. To this end they compared the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences, the study of meaning in language forms and the basic rules of grammar.

They found that the alkaline of our DNA follow regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages. This discovery proves a point that human languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of our inherent DNA. Scientists have managed, for example, to modulate certain frequency patterns onto a laser ray and with it influenced the DNA frequency and thus changed the genetic information itself.

Since the basic structure of DNA-alkaline pairs and of language (as explained earlier) are of the same structure, no DNA decoding is necessary. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! This, too, was experimentally proven! Living DNA substance will always react to language-modulated laser rays and even to radio waves, if the proper frequencies are being used. This finally and scientifically explains why affirmations, hypnosis and the like can have such strong effects on humans and their bodies.

We now know that it is entirely normal and natural for our DNA to react to language. Imagine how easily it would make it to repair genetic defects such as Down’s Syndrome. While a western researcher cut single genes from the DNA strands and inserted them elsewhere, the Russians enthusiastically worked on devices that can influence the cellular metabolism through suitable modulated radio and light frequencies and thus repair genetic defects.

Esoteric and spiritual teachers have known for ages that our body is programmable by language, words and thought. This has now been scientifically proven and explained. Of course the frequency has to be correct. And this is why not everybody is equally successful or can do it with

always the same strength. The individual person must work on the inner processes and maturity in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA. However, Russian researchers are working on a method that is not dependent on these factors but will ALWAYS work, provided one uses the correct frequency. If done, many of the world's illnesses could be cured with frequency alone. An amazing and startling discovery!

The more developed an individual's consciousness is, the less need is there for any type of device!

One can achieve these results by oneself, and science will finally stop laughing at such ideas and will confirm and explain the results. Scientists also found out that our DNA can also cause disturbing patterns in the quantum vacuum, thus producing magnetized wormholes!

These are tunnel connections between entirely different areas in the universe through which information can be transmitted outside of space and time. Your DNA attracts these bits of information and passes them on to our consciousness. This process of hyper communication is most effective in a state of relaxation.

Stress and worries block effective or successful hyper communication as it distorts the information making it useless to us. As we initiate greater individual consciousness, we can create a new form of group consciousness, namely one, in which we attain access to the entire group's information via our DNA. We now know that just as on the internet our DNA can feed its proper data into the network, can call up data from the network and can establish contact with other participants in the network.

Remote healing, telepathy or "remote sensing" about the state of relatives etc. can thus be explained. Some animals know also from afar when their owners plan to return home. That can be freshly interpreted and explained via the concepts of group consciousness and hyper communication. Any collective consciousness cannot be sensibly used over any period of time without a distinctive individuality. Otherwise we would revert to a primitive herd instinct that is easily manipulated.

Hyper communication in the new millennium means something quite different: Researchers think that if humans with full individuality would regain group consciousness, they would have a godlike power to create, alter and shape things on Earth! AND humanity is collectively moving toward such a group consciousness of the new kind.

These discoveries will change the face of our understanding our physiology and how we perceive the capabilities of us as individuals. Spiritual growth seems to be the key component. Since this is a primarily focus of many individual's today, you can see just how important this really is.

So start working with and perceive your thoughts as a tool for your transformation. Your thoughts can become a powerful force for change in your spiritual awareness and growth. While doing so, remind yourself that you have the power to change the world - simply one thought at a time. Chandramouli Kesavanon

Forgiveness As you grow up, you will discover that you defended lies, you cheated yourself and suffered for silly small things. If you are a good warrior, you will not blame yourself for it, but you also won’t repeat your errors. Paulo Coelho Forgiveness is an expression of love. Forgiveness frees us from the chains that bind the soul and bitterness that sickens the body.

Most of our intentions of forgiving fail as we essentially confuse what it means to truly forgive and we resist ourselves in the face of possibility of making whatever happened insignificant and forgotten.

Forgiveness is not forgetting, it is not forgetting what happened to us.

It does not mean to excuse or justify any given event or bad behavior.

It is not accepting what happened with resignation.

It is not denying the pain.

It is not minimizing the events that happened.

It does not mean to agree with what happened nor to approve it.

Forgiving does not meant to minimize the importance of what happened nor to give reason to who hurt you.

It simply means to put aside those negative thought that caused us pain or anger.

We mistakenly believe that forgiveness must lead us inexorably to reconciliation with the aggressor.

We think that forgiving is to become close friends with our aggressor and for that reason we reject it.

It does not mean that at all. Forgiveness is ONLY FOR YOU and no one else.

No need to expect that the person who attacked us will ever change or modify their behavior because it is more probable that this person won’t change and sometimes they even get worse.

Forgiveness is based on the acceptance of what happened.

The lack of forgiveness ties people to that resentment. It keeps them bound and chained.

Forgiveness must be done without “expectations”, without waiting for anything to happen.

If we wait for the aggressor to accept and admit their mistake, we will be waiting in vain and wasting our precious time and energy in an apology that will never come.

If we are waiting for an apology, after we feel that we have forgiven, is a sign that we haven’t forgiven from our heart as we are still waiting for retribution and compensation.

We stay anchored to the problem, in the yesterday, wanting to be rewarded for our pain.

Then we haven’t forgiven anything and what has control of our life is our EGO. EGO wants to punish and charge the aggressor at all costs.

There is nothing or no one that can compensate for the pain caused in the past, there is no way to change the past.

No type of vengeance or retribution may compensate the moments of sadness and desolation that we have lived, no matter how badly we have felt.

When we are waiting for an apology, for an acceptance of the error, we come to realize that none of that will change the facts; what actually happened in the past.

That expectation will only be one feeding our ego; our badly focused thirst for justice.

This lack of forgiveness is the most destructive poison for the spirit because it neutralizes our available emotional resources.

Forgiveness is a declaration that we can and must renovate daily.

Many times the most important person you have to forgive is yourself, for all the things that didn’t go the way you would have preferred.

When we forgive from our heart, we can see the facts just as they happened and then we decide to let them go, leaving them in the yesterday, of the past.

We accept that we are APPRENTICES!

That the lesson is already learned and that we have managed to conquer the negative circumstances we had to live.

Forgive so you can be forgiven. Remember that with the stick you measure you shall be measured. Where our weaknesses reside our exaltations go to get lost.

Not until you open your eyes and say “I”. “I woke up.” “I have to go to work.” “I’m going to brush my teeth.” Until the “I” is born, no world. When the “I” arises, welcome to the movie of who you think you are. Get the popcorn, here it comes! If you investigate it, and the “I” arises, there’s no attachment. It’s just a great movie. And if you haven’t investigated, the “I” arises, its body identified, you think its real; you think there’s an “I”. Pure fantasy. And if you attach to it, if you think you’re that, you may want to inquire. Byron Katie

Testimonials I was fascinated by this experience, especially since it was exactly what I needed at that very moment! I needed to feel deep peace inside of my heart and soul; as I hadn’t wanted to see the truth of my emotional reality. And today I feel peaceful, stable and completely in balance.

Whenever I have a problem like this, it seems as though an opportunity always arises; some method for relaxing and that pleases me very much, I am overflowing with gratefulness!

Anonymous My experience: I felt tranquility, and at the same time nostalgia for my loved ones, my parents and my siblings. When we finished the relaxation exercise, I perceived a very special presence in front of me, I saw the top of a mountain, and like in a dream a man was there dressed in a brown blanket with sandals. I saw the colors green, yellow and magenta. Thank you so much for this experience. Carmen

A Beautiful Canvas Called Life The real love is not an escape from loneliness; the real love is an overflowing aloneness. One is so happy in being alone that one would like to share — happiness always wants to share. It is too much, it cannot be contained; like the flower cannot contain its fragrance, it has to be released.

The walls of our homes echo back the beautiful canvas of life‟s many varied experiences.

Family interactions, children playing, siblings fighting, family discussions, parents quarrelling, the planning and hosting of guests, the preparation and anticipation of receiving friends old and new into the inner embrace of our sanctuary called home.

And what entertainment it is to remember and replay this „art in motion‟.

The sharing of love in its many forms; food, friendship, conversation, disagreements, human contact, talking, listening, singing and dancing all entwined in beautiful harmony and rich tapestry of the background music called life. All of it is needed as each aspect is a unique part of Oneness and unification of life.

The question that we must ask is: How often are we REALLY present as this life is happening all around us? Are we aware of the true reality of each moment?

Consciousness of the privilege and blessing that awareness brings in every moment.

Especially when witnessing life‟s dramas as they unveil themselves, creating opportunities for the benefit and consciousness of all present so that new choices can be made in each moment. Can you be „present‟ enough to witness the reality without getting identified with „emotion‟ in those moments?

When we acquire that ability, we also witness each opportunity that presents itself to help us to let go of our addictions to our past charges (or not). We instead can choose „presence‟ in the NOW; allowing these new experiences to open us to life in its present form (or not). What we really need to ask ourselves is, “Are we ready for that transformation?”

We {the main characters} in this drama called life– are mostly identified in human emotions of fear, jealousy, hate, love / lust, impatience, rage and frustration. Others on the periphery benefit by „witnessing‟ yet another „play‟ as it clearly demonstrates the perfect human condition in action.

Beneath our facade we know only too well how frail and vulnerable we humans are. Our brashness easily hides our sensitive underbellies – our firm stance, covers and supports our buckling knees. Until it doesn‟t.

This is who we think we are, as we are so identified with the mask – and yet this very struggle has the potential to awaken us and bring us closer to the essence of who/what we truly are. We are all strong and weak, healthy and sick, beautiful and ugly, successful and failures, caring and ignorant, loving and spiteful, courageous and cowardly, angelic and vengeful. This is the potential that we all carry within as we tread the earth.

Is this really so bad?? All that we do?

Life is a fulltime game with the mind/ego leading the way with its manipulations, greediness, cravings and desires always with self-interest and hidden motive/expectations at the forefront. We eventually learn/experience that all resistance is ego/mind/ suffering and when we choose/allow surrender to our true inner being it always brings us back to essence/consciousness/and peace which in one word is only: LOVE ALL is only love, the rest is illusion. That is the reality!

When you become aware of that simple fact; the finger pointing stops.

As we lovingly accept and embrace what we perceive to be the good and the bad of all that we are deep inside, we will sooner rather than later arrive to a peaceful state of balance in both the inner and outer state of our lives. Just take a look, is the war manifesting on the inside before it manifests in your outer world? What is the energy like inside of your sacred space called home? If it is not as peaceful and loving as you would like; bring in the light of acceptance/awareness/presence.

For when we awaken to the opposites that exist within all of us and can learn to appreciate them, we will then become more tolerant of ourselves and others. THAT very awareness frees the blocked energy of fear and non-acceptance as it transforms into an opening of the heart; allowing joy and love to freely flow again in our lives.

It is that simple! Effortless and yet at times it seems anything but.. At the end of the day, we are all truly One. One day you will share your drama with me, and on another day you will experience mine. We will eventually awaken to the simple fact that only one drama exists: Ours.

“A vast inter-dimensional conversion in consciousness is presently transpiring throughout Creation. As you experience these shifts, and the energies carry you to ever-higher levels of awareness, your attunement to the higher frequencies becomes stabilized. And the transition to an augmented perspective is achieved.”

“Know that you are in command of your situation at all times. You are able to choose to step back, at will, from the heat of the moment, and make the conscious choice to shift the energy to one emanating from the place of heart-centeredness.”

Testimoniales

I liked this experience very much and would like to repeat it. I was able to see what I had hoped for, “the face of Christ”. I thank you for sharing your gift and I hope it changes me because I want it and I need it, Thank you very much.

Listening to your talk gave me deep peace and stillness, and in the exercise I felt strong energy, and warmth. At times I didn't feel the passing of time, and the music was extremely relaxing!

Contribute to World Peace 1- Search deep inside for your strength of purpose, the faith in your own regeneration.

Your divinity awaits you. Make an effort to find it and fulfill it.

2- Practice a universal religion of goodness in each moment without distinctions of class, beliefs, politics, interests, nationalities, or race.

3- Surrender and accept your past mistakes and limitations, so that you may experience a rebirth with a new inspiration for a better life. Then, you will receive the invisible help.

4- Practice sympathy, gratitude and acquire a habit of contentment in all circumstances.

Decide to make that required effort to overcome your slight defects.

5-Awaken to your inner pollution and use inner strength to overcome depression, get to the root of your sadness, accept your boredom, and overcome bad moods. Combat all dominating methods of rudeness and vulgarity by instead choosing to always be kind with everyone and every living thing.

6- Try to give all possible facilities to others. Help them to find their most noble path and follow it. Be generosity in thought and action, your new silent law.

7- Firmly propose to never censor anyone, not even in thought. ÂżWhat do we know about the true cause of others actions? Make the effort, instead, to understand.

8- Adopt a new inner state of joy, at all times. Then, the hidden light that guides the world will increase inside of you and will even surprise you with the results.

9- Attempt not to focus on pride nor feeling pity for yourself, especially not wasting precious time and energy trying to create perfection as it doesn’t exist.

10- Invoke harmony as a formula of integrated health, a balance of body and spirit; as harmony is a supreme law of the universe.

11- Radiate humbleness as your living message of beauty, spirituality and peace, in a tormented, materialistic and disorientated world. It needs your effective contribution.

Offer it. Offer your positive mind, pure body, your harmonious soul, your radiating contentment, your faith without limits in a bond with life and coinciding with the laws that drive human evolution to its highest level.

Contributing to the World Situation I always suggest that each person look into their own lives: what are they contributing to the world situation?

In one way the world situation seems hopeless. In one way it is hopeless.

For example, Alexis has finally realized that she cannot reach ALL of the suffering people in the world that need help, but she will assist those that she does reach.

We can do only what we are willing to do. Even just feeling compassion for the suffering is something. But even better is to orient our lives around being more conscious and contributing something to others who are less fortunate than ourselves.

There are people who are devoting their whole lives to assisting others. Are you aware that they express how wonderful and fulfilled they feel? Their lives are full of joy and love! So please allow me to make a suggestion... take a look at your life – Is there MORE that you can contribute? Maybe even just a smile in the direction of someone who is upset: a mother on overload with her children in the supermarket. Don't look away when someone with a disability walks by – make a point to make eye contact and say hello.

Also go one step further and verbalize an appreciation to the person who is taking care of them. A little less self-centeredness and a bit more expression of genuine caring for others is all that is needed to change the world situation. If it doesn’t come naturally; fake it until it does become part of who you are. You won’t regret it, and I promise that the experience will enrich your life..

The Blind Beggar

There was a blind woman sitting on the sidewalk with a cup and a piece of cardboard which said: "Please, help me, I'm blind" written in black ink.

A creative publicist passing in front of her stopped and noticed only a few coins in her cup. Without asking her permission he took the cardboard, turned it over, and with his marker wrote another message. He placed the piece of cardboard again at the feet of the blind woman and went on his way.

In the afternoon the publicist passed by the blind woman and noticed that this time her cup was full of notes and coins. The blind woman recognized his steps and asked him if he was the one who wrote her a new message board and above all, what did he write?

The publicist answered, "Nothing that isn’t true but with other words."

He smiled and went on his way. The new message said: "Today is spring but I can't see it". Changing our strategy when something isn't turning out well, may lead to better results using another method. No one can be a slave of his identity when a possibility of change arises, as change is inevitable. The most dangerous human masses are those in whose veins has been injected the poison of fear...fear of changing.

"If you continue to do what you have always done, you will obtain the same results that you have always obtained" The world demands results. Don't tell others about your painful childbirth.

Show them your child.

Positive Mind The Simple Wonder of Being Experiencing Oneness This communication will only point the way to the simple wonder of being, and attempt to illuminate the futility of seeking for it. It does not accept or reject the teachings of spiritual path or process but it will expose, without compromise, the singular and fundamental misconception that drives the belief that there is something called a seeker that needs to find something else called enlightenment.

This communication does not compromise with the needs and expectations of the seeker.

Neither does it attempt to attract or please with promises of an easy and pleasant experience of liberation. Who could promise that and who after all would experience it?

Because the idea of individual free will and choice is seen as an illusory dream, there is no agenda or intention to help or change individuality. As far as the apparent individual is concerned, there is nothing for sale here.

The sense of being a separate individual feels very real and affects every part of that apparent experience. It is a state of contracted energy which becomes embodied and which brings with it a feeling of disquiet and longing. There can be a held sense of feeling unworthy and of having lost something indescribable. It is as though the “me” resides within the boundaries of the body and sees everything outside as something else with which it has to negotiate. Out of these experiences is generated a compulsion to continuously seek comfort or release. This is the dream of individuality which seems real until it doesn’t.

The “me” searches for peace and fulfillment; the “me” searches for self-improvement or purity, presence or detachment. The “me” seeks clarity or any formula which will give the “me” what it thinks it wants or needs. But the “me” not getting what it wants is not the dilemma. The dilemma is the apparent “me”.

No amount of effort, process, clarity or belief can ever bring anything other than more “me” searching for that which the “me” cannot have or know.

The suggestion that separation is only a thought or an understanding that comes or goes in presence is an initially attractive idea for the seeker who dreams of an easy answer which isn’t personally challenging and will bring permanent happiness. Thoughts of separation are only individual stories about an already held state of feeling restricted and apart. If separation was only a thought or a belief, it could be seen through or changed to its opposite, and then “BINGO” there would be liberation . . . you would think!

Such idealistic communications often go hand in hand with a relentless reiteration of the idea that separation is “fine” because there is only ever oneness. This is like telling a blind person that blindness is “fine” because all there is is seeing. Of course there is only oneness. But what apparently arises in oneness is a deep sense of separation which doesn’t feel “fine”.

These conceptual notions speak only of symptoms and do not recognize the source of the apparent dilemma that can fill every part of feeling separate.

In essence what is sought is love. But it is the love that is absolute, all-embracing and eternal. It is this overwhelming love that many have glimpsed, and which I attempt to describe when I opened my eyes in a room full of 1000 people and there was no longer anyone; just love itself. All we are is love itself! It wasn’t experienced because there was suddenly no experiencer. It was a glimpse that no-one glimpsed. I then returned as “a someone” and tried again and again to re-discover that unconditional love which I could not know.

It is that love which is alluded to in literature, music and art. The most fascinating love stories are about unrequited love, because they point to that absolute love which the individual cannot possess. The powerful fascination of falling in love comes out of a primal sense that in that love you could be lost. It is that overwhelming love which is in all of our longing and is the fullness in the emptiness, the everything in the nothing. It is unconditional love which also appears as it’s opposite. Wonderfully, it is also that very love which constantly sings to us through our senses and in every part of the aliveness that is happening.

Liberation is a word used to describe an apparent release from the illusion of feeling imprisoned and apart from love, or wholeness. That shift is essentially an energetic release out of contraction into boundlessness.

Whenever and wherever there is a deep and uncompromising sharing together of the very real paradox of being, a palpable resonance can emerge. Out of that openness there can be a release of that contraction into boundlessness and what arises is the wonder of simply being.

Out with the Old and In with the New A new year began and it definitely feels as if we are turning a corner. We ARE heading in a new direction. It feels to me as if the divine has truly begun to reveal its hand. So what corner have we turned exactly? Where is humanity heading? Will new leadership in the west spell real change for society? I have noticed that when we're looking for a deeper meaning of circumstances and events, the natural flow of the moment - the divine plan - reveals itself in all its splendor. So what exactly are we being shown?

The Rear view Mirror Let us first take a look at a few of the key events that took place in 2008. And as we do, let's be absolutely authentic. Let's take reality as it really is. So yes we ARE in the middle of a credit crunch. The key building block upon which our society is founded is beginning to crumble.

Hallelujah!!! Yes to me, that truly is something to celebrate; I don't have to look through rose tinted glasses to see the beauty in that. I do believe it will provide the opportunity - the impetus for more and more people to see the redundancy in the old system and that a new way of being is essential to our evolution. Neither am I going to push it away and try to manifest a new more desirable reality - the divine has imagined something far more perfect, far more miraculous, far more magical than the lower ego could imagine. I for one am prepared to accept and embrace the new reality even if it costs me some pain to get there.

The Big Picture Another big event of 2008 was the election of a new US President. So will he be able to deliver change that we can believe in? He sure has vibrant energy and seems to want only the best for everyone. I do feel that the responsibility is not so much on him as it is on all of us. Each one of us needs to take responsibility for our lives and our actions. The consciousness that is seeking desperately to retain the old world order (even if it wants to re-name it the "New World Order"), is not really controlling events at all. It just thinks it is. The truth is; the future does not lie in one person's hands. If we take a look at the big picture for a moment - and I mean the Really Big Picture; our planetary system, aligned with our galaxy, is moving into a higher vibracional reality.

This is not some science fiction fantasy - it is a scientific fact. The Universe has arrayed itself in dimensional realms of existence - 12 in all. The natural evolutionary flow is in the direction of increasing energetic balance, harmony and order. It is a flow in the direction of unconditional love and it is inviting all of us along for the ride.

Ultimately, we simply cannot avoid that love - it is inevitable because our destiny has turned the corner from separation to unity. Our society is a mere microcosm - a flea on the back of a magnificent beast saying "no, I don't want to go into the water" but going into the water we are, whether we like it or not. Love is calling out to each one of us. Love is truth and it’s inviting us to explore who and what we really are. It's leading us to a higher vibration and harmony. Love is breaking apart the old reality and ESPECIALLY our attachments to it.

But can we truly see love when it comes calling? We ask for love, we pray for it, we meditate on it and then so many wonder why it is not present in their lives. It IS present. Love is acting through every moment, every circumstance every engagement. Love is inviting us to express our truth to a friend, family, partner, colleague or boss WHATEVER the consequences might appear to be. It's about being profoundly honest with our motivations for doing things. Are we doing it because of fear, conditioning or the interests of the lower ego self? Or are we truly open, surrendered and allowing higher truth to flow in? If we're acting from a place of higher truth, we're acting in the higher interests of all. Yes, it's still loving to kick away someone else's crutch if it's a crutch of dis-empowerment.

And by 'surrender' I don't mean blind acceptance. Acceptance of anything-goes is not love. That's giving up. We may have found the light but what are we doing with it?

And non-judgment without discernment is not love either. Love is truth. It's having the courage, determination, passion and warrior like courage to stand in the face of injustice and say "this is where I stand. I don't care if I don't get paid. I don't care if my electricity gets cut off and my roof comes caving in. I don't care if I lose my job or the car gets repossessed. This is what I am meant to do and I am doing it come what may". To me, THAT is love.

Love is honoring truth. It is with every action considering the wider implications. What are my actions doing to other sentient beings? Yes I might want milk with my coffee, but how did the cow that provided it have to suffer for me to have it? Ever heard a cow that's just had its calf taken from it so that it will keep producing milk? Ever felt that level of despair? How can that be energetically balanced and loving?

Receiving is Measured by our Capacity to Give Our immediate destiny - should we choose it - is a system where everything is balanced and in alignment. We feel aligned, harmonious and at peace inside. In our 3D world, the processes that keep our society running consume 10 times the amount of energy they give out. Society simply doesn't add up - it isn't working. Full stop. In 5D reality, energy is limitless - why? Because all sentient beings within the system are aligned with the natural flow. There is receiving x amount of energy with one hand and giving x amount of energy with the other. It's really that simple!

There is no possibility of taking more than we need.

In the higher realms, wealth and success is measured only by our capacity to give. This is the true meaning of abundance. Not manifesting for our own ends, but giving unconditionally. That's why the love we withhold is a measure of the pain - the limitation - we carry.

So the question is, how do we get from here to there? The answer is to live that way now. Yes it may not be an easy ride. Our society will try to condition, cajole, tempt and threaten us into fear based behavior. It wants us to keep imprisoned because imprisonment makes us stressed inside and when we're stressed, we release energy and that squandered energy sustains the Opposing Consciousness that formed society in the first place. But it simply will not win. It is an archaic system. It is redundant. As the galaxy moves into the higher paradigm it will fall apart like matchstick-buildings blown to smithereens in a hurricane.

What we do in the moment will echo into eternity You and I still have a choice. We can choose to go the way of society or we can say "No! Enough is enough. I'm not going to let society, the media, governments, or even gurus tell me how I should be. I'm going to discover 'me' for myself. I'm going to do that by observing myself. I'm

going to observe closely my motivations for doing things. I'm going to move from fear based taking to love based giving. I'm going to choose freedom; that which makes me feel more expanded and open inside; that which strips away my confinement. And I'm going to do it now.

In EVERY moment I'm going to be consciousness. In EVERY moment I'm going to make the higher choice WHATEVER the apparent personal cost".

And how do we know what is right? How do we know what is OUR higher truth? It is easy. Just connect with your God, and ask for support and guidance to show you the way. If we are continually asking for it with gratefulness and staying alert for it, we will be shown it. We may feel it first in our hearts. An undeniable pull to do something. As we become more evolved, it will simply land as a higher knowing which needs no justification "this is the way to go now" and "this is how to be now". If we're unsure, we can tune into the universal language of love Synchronicity - signs, signals, omens telling us we're truly in the flow of Right Action. Where Opposing Consciousness would try to lead us astray, Synchronicity is the referee balancing the equation making sure the playing field is level. It is always there, providing we are conscious, awake, watching for it and honest about what we're being told. It's not a difficult language to learn, but like anything else, it requires continual practice to master.

So as we turn the corner into a new year, we're also turning the corner into a new transition - a new evolution. Our Earth's movement into the new paradigm is almost complete. Our destiny should we choose it - is to move with the new evolution. So in this new year, the old systems are going to shake, wobble and crack some more. Opposing Consciousness will try to persist. It will keep shoring up the system, keep trying to persuade us to buy into it. And it may be your role to act within that system. To shine the light for others.

But whatever our role is... let's be clear and sure that it IS our path, let's not be fooled by hidden desires, let's continue to master ourselves that we may master our destiny, let's unfold into the glorious beings of light that we are, let's walk forwards into the flow of Oneness- together.

Waging peace...

As the immense energy of this New Year unfolds, many of us are feeling great sadness at the escalating violence in the Middle East. How it is possible that intelligent people can still believe aggression and bloodshed will foster greater security and peace? The British Government discovered in Northern Ireland after many years of violence that the only true way to peace between cultures was to win hearts and minds by understanding and empathizing with people's differences. Violence simply creates even deeper hatred and enmity. So how might we light workers deal with this discord? What can we ordinary people, supposedly without power, do about it?

The physical world is a reflection of the Spiritual battle that is going on. To win the battle and overcome negativity, don't fight against it because you will just use your energy to make it stronger with even more resistance and in effect it will make your bitter, and less of a fully empowered peaceful warrior for the Earth. Fighting just makes you MORE of the problem and NOT the solution as aggressiveness is the same energy and Peace/Love for yourself and others is the ONLY solution.

Starting with your own family of course!! The greatest wars are happening within us and manifests inside the family. Don’t be naive, know about the negativity but don't give it any energy or thought. Instead find the most positive and beautiful thing you can and give your entire focus to that. This focus will often be a sufficient solution to the problem.

Society is the reflection of what people hold within

The outer world is just a reflection of what we as a people hold within us. It is as if we are cinema projectors creating the outer movie of our lives directly from our inner configuration of consciousness. If we hold judgment and negativity towards others, then this disharmony will be reflected outwards and we will draw that mirror to us.

Likewise, it is as sure as the sun rising in the morning, that if instead we can find the deeper harmony within ourselves, then this increased balance and peace will ripple outwards like beams of sunlight through the waves of consciousness.

We are ALL responsible for creating the violence that we're seeing in the Middle East - and at the same time we're witnessing the emergence of a magnificent light across the planet too. What I believe is happening is greater polarization between light and dark. The dark side is becoming ever more fearful as the light separates from it.

Every attack is a cry for help

There are those trying desperately to control and manipulate our 3rd Dimensional Reality from a

place of fear based manifestation whilst others are aligning to the higher vibrations and finding greater openness, expansiveness and love. The two polar opposites are becoming more intense.

What we're witnessing in the Middle East and elsewhere across our planet right now are the last dying throws of a system of control long past its sell-by-date; people desperately clinging to an old world reality that is steadily but surely turning in on itself. Internal Fear is being brought to the surface.

They say that "every attack is a cry for help" and those still lost in the darkness are crying out to us. And you and I are here for that purpose; this is our mission, our tour of duty. We signed up for this. It is the very reason we are here and our time has come.

Creating from Higher Mind

How might our higher beingness help the situation? One way is to accelerate our destiny - our new evolution. This creation will happen through another level of Consciousness - a powerful bodily vehicle of expression- Higher Mind that we are each blessed with but is not yet generally active throughout humanity.

How does it work?

The key is to watch/observe the violence but without getting identified, stressed, angry or fearful ourselves. We are multi-dimensional beings. When we let go of internal contraction, anger, fear, doubt and worry, we can expand our consciousness into the higher realms of greater balance, harmony and at-one-ment between all sentient beings. And the more we do this, the more that reality - that light - takes form all around us.

It can't be that easy can it?

Yes!!! The outer world seems dense and often immovable, but matter is just a complex illusion.

Indeed matter and consciousness IS THE SAME THING. Of course our lower minds have created the notion of linear time. In our third world reality, things don't change that quickly, but in the higher realms, they change at the speed of thought (well light actually). It just takes a while for that energy to filter down into and through the third dimension. Then the light stirs up and 'transmutes' the density.

But just to be clear, these are not third dimensional thoughts that filter down. We cannot think peace into action. We have to BE peace inside; actually experiencing it as our state of being. We have to transcend the darkness first to really know peace as an integral part of what we are. Our very essence- being. Then the light that we channel through us will shine through the third dimension and shake it up just like rain stirring up a silted river bed.

This has nothing to do with thought. This though realm is still lower based consciousness and is also actually based on fear - masquerading as lack of acceptance. We have to accept whatever we're seeing as a natural part of our evolution.

It often appears darkest before the dawn In the short term the darkness around us will appear to get denser - that's because we're getting lighter. Just as mildly cold water will feel freezing if we've been lying in the sun all day. So let's

not be discouraged by outer appearances. Raising our consciousness IS having an effect and a very powerful one at that.

So let's feel into our sensitive hearts and find the courage to keep on going; to trust and have faith. Let's look through the violence with higher mind and bring in greater love. Let those ripples of harmony then radiate through the outer world.

Just as the fearful are waging war, we have to wage peace by winning more hearts and minds.

Then ultimately, I do believe, we'll find that love really is strong enough to stop the bullets.

May peace and tranquility become our natural state of being. All is only love.

“One is technically ascending all the time. And the reality one perceives as the here and now is an ever shifting personalized reflection of one’s vibrational state.”

Attitude is Everything John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He never has a bad word to say about anyone, he is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator.. If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'How do you do it? I just don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time, Tell me your secret, please?'

He replied, ‘Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today John. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood... Furthermore each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. So I choose to learn the lesson.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life to them. I choose the positive side of life.’

'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.

'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all of the drama, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react or respond to situations. You choose how and if people will affect your mood.

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.'

I reflected on what he said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.

We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of just simply reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident; falling some 60 feet (20 meters) from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw him about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, ‘If I were any better, I'd be twins... Want to see my scars?'

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. ‘Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or... I could choose to die. I chose to live.'

‘Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked.

He continued, ‘The paramedics were great! They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.'

'What did you do?' I asked.

'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' explained John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes! I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity!'

Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'

He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has

enough trouble of its own.' Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

You put the devil out, but did you let him leave his bags?

You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry (you let the devil leave his bags) You got out of financial debt, but you still can't control the desire to spend on frivolous things (you let the devil leave his bags) You got out of a bad habit or addiction, but you still long to try it just one more time (you let the devil leave his bags) You said, I forgive you, but you can't seem to forget and have peace with that person (you let the devil leave his bags) You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over, but you still continue to call (you let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you are still trying to sabotage the company after you've left (you let the devil leave his bags) You cut off the affair with that married man/woman, but you still lust after him/her (you let the devil leave his bags) You broke off your relationship with that hurtful, abusive person, but you are suspicious and distrusting of every new person you meet (you let the devil leave his bags) You decided to let go of the past hurts from growing up in an unstable environment, yet you believe you are unworthy of love from others and you refuse to get attached to anyone (you let the devil leave his bags) When you put the devil out, please make sure he takes his bags!

HAPPINESS KEEPS YOU SWEET, TRIALS KEEP YOU STRONG, AND SORROWS KEEP YOU HUMAN, FAILURES KEEP YOU HUMBLE, SUCCESS KEEPS YOU GLOWING, BUT ONLY GOD KEEPS YOU GOING! In The Remainder of 2009, Let the devil take his bags with him! Be Blessed, Healthy and Happy

Testimonial I want to thank Alexis for making me feel excellent for the first time in my life. I felt an intense energy in the palm of my hands, a heat throughout my whole body, tingling, and a deep peace and tranquility. I hope that this is not the last time that she will be with us. Thank you. Veronica Ruiz Salda単a.

Positive Mind Speaking Truth Develops Inner Integrity Unless you really speak the truth, you cannot develop inner integrity to any great extent. What you say is easy, it lacks depth. Only when you start speaking the truth do you really know what is going on inside. Not otherwise. You will find that you get to the depths of it, and then the miracle happens. The miracle is that it will take you to the very roots. And you will find that there everything is empty; and therefore you become free of it. The joy that you will discover from that cannot be described. It does not matter what is there. Can you see clearly what is there? What is authenticity: simply seeing what is there. Understand that inner integrity is a basic process of simply seeing what is there and truth is speaking clearly of what it is that you see without editing or censorship. Not exactly being factual, as that is only up to a point. Truth becomes authenticity, external authenticity. First you see and then you speak about it. Seeing is one thing, speaking is yet another thing and if you speak it you will find that the effect is unimaginable. Nothing you need to draw out mathematically thereafter. Try it out. Every moment will be a joyous moment in your life: that is enough; you will not ache for anything else in life. You won’t say: I want this, I want that, as it is such a joy just seeing what is going on inside. That is all there is to life. What is life? See what exactly is going on inside. Then tell me how it is. Because when you are not seeing it, you feel bored. You find life is meaningless, purposeless. Therefore you want this, you want that. So many desires you are creating. But if you were to actually see what is going on, there is such joy; you will not want anything else in life. You could be a beggar, you could be a leper, and you could be sitting in a gutter. Nothing will happen. You will just be enjoying every moment of your life. You don’t need money, no name, no fame, nothing, not even security. You wouldn’t be afraid of dying either. And strangely enough life would take care of you. All authentic people are taken care of by life or by god, whatever you want to call it. Inauthentic people will die. If you are authentic and you don’t have food, food will come to you. Somehow it will happen. Somehow you will get support. You go wherever you want to go. Your life becomes miraculous. Because you are inauthentic these things don’t happen to you in life. But again, don’t try to be authentic.

You must really be authentic, only then miracles will happen. Only then you become a great being. Then the benediction showers on you, the blessing. All that we have spoken becomes truth.

Why is it that you are stuck up?..it is because you are untruthful; therefore inauthentic. Simply because you have never really seen what is going on inside yourself. Therefore you do external things to keep going. Bhagavan

Heaven's door I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven's door, Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp-The thieves, the liars, the sinners , The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice.

Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought Was rotting away in hell, Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?

I would love to hear Your take.

How'd all these sinners get up here?

God must've made a mistake.

'And why is everyone so quiet, So somber - give me a clue.'

'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back. Don’t be afraid your life will end, be afraid it will never begin.

Testimonial> It was an experience that I had never experienced before. I felt anxiety and

tingling thru out my body, and I felt during the exercise as if it was never going to end, and I began to feel intense heat. I saw many purple lights and others between blue and grey, green, yellow and later I felt that my body completely disappeared, as I lost all my strength in my arms and legs. I am so thankful that you shared your gift with all of us and taught us how to calm our mind, soul, and spirit, thanks so much with lots of love. Nora Claudia Luna Vázquez

Inner Integrity When you are truly at peace, there is no reason to refuse to see the truth.

Not owning up to the truth leads to conflict.

Inner integrity consists in telling ourselves the truth, because if our truth does not correspond to the idea that we have of ourselves, this will lead us to the conflict of not being who we are.

Human beings are engaged in a kind of self-hypnosis constantly trying to convince ourselves of our own lies, to the point where we eventually succeed and do believe them which then removes our ability to experience inner Peace.

If you tell 100 lies, 90 are to yourself.

You are constantly lying to yourself and the more you do it the more fear, conflict and energy loss you will create. We want to lead you to your own truth so that you may achieve inner peace.

To refuse to see your own truth is very dangerous. Risks: 1) How can you increase your level of consciousness with so much conflict, and what values and character traits are you creating? You won’t have a healthy character; due to always experiencing fear, because you aren’t integrated.

2) You will suffer from ill health because the body cannot function well with so much stress.

3) Your relationships will break down from being immersed in falsehood and constantly afraid of being discovered so that you will never have inner freedom.

When you are full of fear and not free, how can you relate to others and feel love?

Most importantly, your outer life is going to be constantly reflecting your inner conflict, because the outside Universe is a reflection of the inner one.

If there is no inner integrity, everything around you will reflect that.

How does this process of falsehood begin? To silence the conflict you begin to lie to yourself.

1st stage – the mind decides something 2nd stage – the mind tries to justify itself with lies 3rd stage – it tries to reinforce these lies by avoiding the details and not seeing the truth. When we are holding fast to the defense of our truth, vital details are overlooked.

4st stage – you talk to reinforce the lie. You avoid the conflict by talking. The more you express it in order to convince others, the more it will take hold internally.

Sometimes when there’s a lot of pain involved, other stages follow: 5th stage – you take part in activities which assist you to reinforce the lie.

6th stage – you start gathering people who also share in this lie, a network of people who will reaffirm you. Even so, after all that effort, there will always be something or someone who will remind you of the truth, until you eventually give up. That is how some people hold resentment for years.

If you drop the lie, there aren’t unnecessary thoughts, and you experience inner peace.

There are three steps to develop inner integrity: 1. FACTUALITY – looking at the facts 2. ACTUALITY 3. REALITY Inner integrity is: knowing who you are. But we find that Inner Integrity is difficult to achieve, because it requires that we have a certain amount of integrity in the way that we live, in the way we express ourselves and especially in our actions.

Factuality means telling the truth according to the facts, but the truth might not necessarily mean that you are being authentic.

“Many years ago, about 15 years ago, Anandagiri was leading a workshop.

In the group there was a young man who worked as an executive in a software engineering department. Although he was very successful in his work, he couldn’t embrace success or the good things in life. He felt guilty.

The workshop was only 2 days long. The second day he saw that man suddenly begin to cry from the depths of his heart, as he seemed to realize something important about his process.

He went onto the stage and asked for the microphone. Throughout his whole life or at least the last 10 years he had felt guilty and unworthy. He explained, “This morning I was lying down after receiving Diksha and I saw an image of myself as a small child, but this made me uncomfortable and I chased it away, but it came back again and again. Finally I saw myself along beside my sister and I wondered: what does this have to do with my sister?”

Then the following story emerged: Ten years ago I was 15 or 16 and my sister was 8 or 9. One day our parents had to go out and asked me to look after her, which I promised to do. When my parents returned my sister was crying and when they asked her what had happened she said that I had hit her.

Yes, I said, I hit her because I have an important exam tomorrow and she kept bothering me and annoying me until I finally lost my focus.

This is being factual, to limit oneself to the facts.

But this morning I saw something else very clearly: I didn’t hit my sister because she was bothering me, I hit her because I actually hated her so much, and I was so jealous of her that I asked myself why she ever born.

I felt as if I had actually lost my parents. When told my mother, “Yes mom I hit her because she was bothering me” I was being factual and telling the truth, but I wasn’t being authentic.”

Ten years later he discovered that he was actually jealous of her. This is being real, admitting the truth of a motive for a behavior or action; this is actually seeing the true self. In this moment when he was able to see his true self, the guilt dropped away and he felt completely free!

Racism

There are two things which are infinite: the Universe, and human stupidity… and I’m not very sure about the Universe. Einstein On an airplane, during the departure of the flight a very insistent lady began to press the call button to summon the flight attendant.

“What is the problem?” asks the flight attendant.

“Can’t you see?” replies the lady. “They placed me next to a dirty Indian native. I can’t stand being next to one of these repugnant beings. Haven’t you a free seat somewhere else?”

“Please calm down” says the flight attendant. “We’re nearly at full capacity, but I’ll check and see if there’s a space available.”

The flight attendant went away returning a few minutes later: “As I thought, there isn’t any space left in economy. I spoke to the captain and he confirmed it. However, we have a free seat in first class.”

Before the lady could say anything, the flight attendant continued: “It’s very unusual to allow a person from economy to sit in first class, but due to the extenuating circumstances, the captain has agreed that it would be rude to force someone to sit next to someone so repugnant.”

All the passengers were watching the scene, indignant.

Then the flight attendant turned to the native and said: “If you would like to come with me, Sir, and bring your hand luggage, a first class seat is waiting for you”.

And the surprised passengers who were all watching the scene stood up and applauded.

THIS IS THE MOMENT TO FIGHT AGAINST RACISM – PARTICIPATE!!

An Unhappy Blind Girl There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'

The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear; for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the ego often works when our status changes.

Only very few remember what life was like before, and especially who was faithfully by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before whining about the distance you drive- Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish that they had your position.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and be grateful: that you're alive and still around.

Testimoniales When I arrived to the conference I felt very nervous, but when I heard Alexis’s voice I suddenly began to feel calm. When I closed my eyes I started to see green, violet and yellow lights and I felt a deep tranquility. I liked very much this experience with my eyes closed. I thank God very much for this day as I really needed it! Thank you Alexis.

It’s a very unique and relaxing experience, as it helps you to find an absolute inner peace, also helping to end all discomfort like headaches.

It was a very pleasant experience, I had never before in my life felt such an intense relaxation; I hope to experience more of this profound relaxation.

Alexis is a transmitter of energy called Oneness Blessing which initiates a process of awakening the Divine Presence within you; taking you towards Oneness, and enabling you to see the reality of what you are in every moment. Also healing your body, your relationships, and recognizing the divinity in the experience of the present moment…. Conscious awakening is the ability to see reality as it is, without the layers of interference and interpretation imposed by the mind. Oneness Blessing is a transfer of Divine energy which helps us to disidentify from conflict and suffering, taking us to states of inner peace, joy, happiness and Oneness.

This energy called Oneness Blessing is universal & useful in all spiritual traditions. It enhances our ability to connect from the Heart with the Divine & with all of the people that we love. Many report that after receiving Oneness Blessing they experience healing on all levels, as well as powerful and ongoing spiritual awakening. Most people are seeking harmony and joy. We have discovered that it is possible for everybody to live in that state of inner freedom, even permanently.

Taking the Mystery out of Metabolisms We all know that the leader in obesity is the United States but on the winner’s podium taking the silver medal is Mexico.

Just last week, I chided a friend about skipping meals in an attempt to lose a few pounds. “It slows down your metabolism, so you‟ll just gain weight,” I reasoned. “How does it do that?” she wanted to know. “Well … it … okay, I don‟t know. But it does!” I responded, rather sheepishly.

Anyone who has picked up a health or fitness magazine has read about the need to keep our metabolisms “revved up” to burn calories efficiently and that certain bad habits—like waiting too long in-between meals or omitting them altogether—are detrimental to the cause. All too commonly, the actual explanations for why our metabolic rates increase and decrease are edged out by diet buzz words and cheesy motivational messages. Perhaps if we understood the basic workings of the metabolism and how our actions affect it positively or negatively, it would be easier to adopt the lifestyle changes necessary for keeping it at an optimal rate. I consulted Manuel Villacorta, MS, RD, CSSD, a registered dietician with Nutrition for You, to find out the answers to the most common questions his clients have about the mighty metabolism.

What’s a metabolism?

Metabolism refers to your body‟s ability to digest and utilize food energy (in calorie form) in order to maintain essential bodily functions like breathing and regulating heartbeats. “It‟s the amount of calories that your body uses to make sure that it‟s continually surviving,” Villacorta explains. One‟s metabolic rate is determined by how quickly it can use up consumed calories, and that rate is affected by a variety of factors: age, weight, exercise, eating habits, and so forth. In order to condition our metabolisms to perform at peak levels, we must address each of these factors when coming up with a plan.

Are people really born with fast or slow metabolisms?

“Metabolic rates vary based on genetics,” he says. “It‟s kind of like your fingerprint.” However, that doesn‟t mean that metabolic rates are set in stone. Just like other genetic predispositions, they can be affected by making certain lifestyle choices, such as eating well and developing more muscle mass. The more muscle mass one has, the higher the metabolic rate. Villacorta likens muscles to bundles of cells that are “like engines creating energy.” He says that metabolic functions can increase by fifty calories for every pound of muscle gained.

Why do I put on weight more easily now than five years ago?

Even if our eating habits don‟t change over our lifetimes, we still are more likely to put on weight as we age. That‟s because our metabolisms naturally slow down as we get older. Therefore, if we want to maintain our weights, we have to adjust our calories accordingly as the years pass.

“About every ten years, metabolic rate decreases about 10 to 15 percent,” Villacorta says. “So when [my clients] in their forties say, „My old tricks aren‟t working anymore,‟ I tell them it‟s because their metabolic rates have completely changed.” He advises that people reevaluate their diets at these points to keep the pounds off.

Is an apple a good snack?

Fruit is always a great idea for a snack, but an apple or a banana alone might not be as beneficial as we think. Incorporating different food groups into a snack actually makes our bodies work that much harder at digesting everything, thereby increasing our metabolic rates. “You want to keep your body working all the time,” Villacorta explains. “If you have an apple, add some almonds and low-fat cheese.” He finds that many people eat too minimally in the hopes of losing weight.

A plain salad with chicken seems like a healthy choice, but he actually says this is one of the worst meals one could eat. With a meal like that, “you‟re not adding grains or fats, which help your metabolic rates,” he says. “It‟s the combination of things that help; not just having one thing.”

What types of exercise will increase metabolic rate?

“Definitely strength training,” he advises. One common mistake that people make is putting too much of an emphasis on cardio. Though cardio is important, muscle mass is what speeds up our metabolisms. Ideally, there should be a balanced combination of the two for health reasons alone.

To get our metabolic rates revving, Villacorta suggests doing strength training three times a week, with each session lasting thirty minutes.

Do women’s and men’s metabolisms work differently?

“It‟s the same for both of them,” he explains. However, because men tend to have more muscle (and can build it more easily) than women, their metabolisms are often more efficient. Women carry more fat for reproductive purposes, so it can be harder for them to achieve the same metabolic increases as their male counterparts. Regardless of gender, people need to perform the same kinds of actions—eating frequently, exercising, and so forth—to keep their metabolic rates up.

Why do I have to eat breakfast in the morning?

Villacorta (and almost all dieticians) believe that delaying meals is one of the worst things that people can do when trying to maintain or lose weight. He explains the need for breakfast: “During the night, even though you‟re sleeping, your body is still at work … but you‟re not fueling. Because you‟re not fueling, your body has to preserve whatever it has, so metabolic rate slows. Delaying breakfast will slow you down even further, which with time will make you build more fat.” Basically, eating first thing in the morning gives your metabolism that necessary first boost to keep it running smoothly and efficiently for the rest of the day.

And that‟s eating first thing in the morning—he is quick to point out that eating a few hours after waking up is when we should be having our first snack, not our first meal. (He is a big proponent of eating smaller meals every three hours to keep metabolic rates steady and speedy.) “Breakfast should be eaten within the hour of waking up,” he says. His recommended metabolismjumpstarting breakfast? A cup and a half of high-fiber (5 grams or more) cereal, flaxseed meal, 1/2- to 3/4-cup of blueberries, and soy or low-fat milk.

Understanding our metabolisms can help us eradicate the misconceptions many of us have— misconceptions that may be impeding our health and weight loss goals. Quick but temporary solutions, such as fad dieting, skipping meals, or only following one of the suggested metabolism-boosting guidelines (such as focusing on cardio or only watching our diet) can have an adverse effect on our goals. Instead, we should aim for a balance between exercise and sensible eating habits to keep our metabolic rates working for us, not against us.

Annoying Body Glitches > Can We Prevent Them?

Last night, I was jolted from a peaceful slumber gasping and writhing in pain, clutching my calf in shocked agony as the muscle throbbed and burned mercilessly. Yes, it was the dreadful charley horse invading my night once again. I’ve been getting these terrible muscle spasms routinely since I was little, yet it’s only recently that I’ve begun to wonder why they even happen in the first place.

Our bodies are organized jumbles of parts and functions with specific purposes, but like any fine-tuned machine, there is room for internal error every now and then. We’ve all experienced some variation of these “issues”—hiccups, spasms, odd stomach noises, and so forth. Many are embarrassing or annoying, but so common that we don’t think much about their causes or potential solutions. However, there are reasons behind things as seemingly insignificant as hiccupping, and sometimes, there are ways to avoid them.

Charley Horses Charley horses, which usually occur in the legs or feet, are very common and strike people of all ages and activity levels. What happens during these nighttime episodes is a muscle begins contracting and is unable to pick up cues to stop, causing discomfort and muscle fatigue. A variety of factors, including sore muscles, hormonal or mineral imbalances, and dehydration, can contribute to the onset of charley horses. Pregnancy, a lack of calcium or potassium, and improper stretching are frequently listed as catalysts.

Can they be avoided? There’s not a sure-fire method for permanently getting rid of charley horses, but by staying hydrated, stretching before and after exercise, and incorporating good sources of calcium and potassium into our diets, we can reduce the likelihood of getting them. To minimize the pain and length of a cramping episode, rub the muscle and lift the leg so that blood can flow beyond the affected area.

Pre-Sleep Body Jerks Yet another thief of precious sleep time, body jerks—also called hypnic jerks—refer to the way our bodies sometimes “jerk” awake right before we’re about to fall asleep, usually accompanied by a panicked feeling of falling. There are different explanations given for why this happens, but the blame finger is usually directed at our brains, which sometimes get confused by our muscles easing into sleep and causes them to tense up, thinking that we’re falling. The misinterpretation could be a reaction to our brains not being ready for sleep, either due to stress, fatigue, or too much stimulation (exercise, caffeine consumption) before bed.

Can they be avoided? Since hypnic jerks have been linked to the sleep troublemakers listed above, avoiding them could lessen the prevalence of body jerks in our lives, but chances are we will experience them again at some point.

Eye Twitches Eye twitches are very common and are usually caused by temporary faulty functioning of the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. They usually occur randomly and can be quite alarming—after all, are our eyes supposed to twitch like that? Most of the time, twitching eyes, though bothersome, is nothing to worry about, even though their technical name—blepharospasm—sounds kind of scary. With some people, it occurs after or during a bout of dry eye, and it can also be triggered by stress, lack of sleep, and eye strain.

Can they be avoided? To decrease twitching incidences, be mindful of sleep, stay calm, and regularly move your eyes away from the computer screen. However, we can sometimes inherit a higher likelihood of twitching, so they can’t always be avoided.

Hiccups It seems like hiccups come at the worst possible times, like when I’m in a library or in the middle of a quiet office. Why do hiccups happen? Again, the culprit is routine body functions randomly misbehaving. The diaphragm helps the lungs get more air by contracting, but if something affects the diaphragm negatively (e.g. eating quickly), it contracts violently, causing us to breathe in quickly and make an annoying, loud sound.

Can they be avoided? By eliminating the actions that affect the diaphragm in this manner, such as eating or drinking too fast or too much, or eating something very hot, we can reduce our hiccup maladies. Everybody has a supposed foolproof method for getting rid of them (a spoonful of sugar, drinking from the other side of a glass, being startled, etc.), but the success of treatment depends on the person. Most suggested cures involve distracting the person from the hiccups or, in the case of sugar, hoping the sweet spoonful on the tongue will send a message to the diaphragm to halt contraction.

Stomach Growls Loud, embarrassing stomach noises are another of those bodily functions that only occur when we really don’t want them to—and they’re not even limited to when we’re hungry!

Borborygmi (its technical name) happens when our digestive system tries to digest food when there isn’t any food there. The sounds we hear are produced by stomach and intestinal juices mixing around without anything to work with. It can happen when we’re not even hungry because when the stomach is empty, messages are sent to your brain to signal the desire for food and restart the digestive process. Even if we ate just a couple of hours ago, our bodies want to make sure we know to replenish ourselves in the future.

Can they be avoided? Other than constantly eating (which would probably cause a host of other digestion issues), the occasional stomach gurgles might just be a fact of life.

Anything happening more frequently than that or any growls causing stomach pain should be checked out by a doctor.

Noisy Joints Some of us purposefully pop our joints, and others can’t help but do it when we bend down or stretch. Either way, the odd sound can be caused by different things: air pockets being created and released by movement, arthritis, and tightened ligaments. Though the popping or cracking noises are a bit unnerving—and tend to make us feel older than we are—they usually aren’t cause for serious alarm.

Can they be avoided? There is no real way to avoid random gas bubbles between our joints popping every now and then, but one potential cause of them—too much strain on the joints—can be reduced by properly stretching and easing into exercise. Basically, don’t jump from walking to training for a marathon—let your body gradually make the transition to higher-intensity movements.

Ticklish Spots Being ticklish can be annoying, especially when I’m getting a pedicure. I have to bite my lip to keep from laughing when they scrub the dead skin from my feet, yet the other patrons sit there calmly and actually enjoy the experience. Most people have certain sensitive spots, and their locations vary from person to person. Scientists postulate that this sensitivity is a defense mechanism to protect us from potentially harmful creatures like spiders crawling on us. Charles Darwin believed that there is a social link between giggling and tickling, that we laugh because we anticipate the sensitivity, but also because we trust the source of the tickles. In any event, it’s almost always a sure source of belly laughter.

Can they be avoided? Being ticklish can also be associated with anxiety—people who are more anxious or on-edge can have more extreme reactions to surprise tickle attacks because that’s how their bodies respond to potential threats. For example, if it was an actual bug crawling on the person, the uncontrollable laughs might be replaced with shrieks. Others remain unphased by tickling because they are better at keeping calm. If you want to avoid being ticklish, focus on staying cool.

Even with the suggested ways to avoid or decrease body oddities, sometimes there’s just no way around them. Stomachs will growl, joints will pop, and I’m sure there’s another charley horse in my future. As long as our bodies keep running smoothly the rest of the time, we can live through a few embarrassing or annoying kinks in the system here and there. And if your stomach talks really loudly like mine does, just feign ignorance … or blame the person next to you.

“We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.”

Transforming Suffering into Awakening Do you feel a little uncomfortable by everything that you read and hear in the news these days?

• Does your intuition say that you are in the midst of a huge shift in how you see yourself and the world?

• Do you feel that we are all in the process of a collective shift in consciousness?

• Do you appreciate simple and elegant tools to make that shift more fun and easy?

Most importantly: • Do you want to be of service to others in making this time of transition graceful and smooth?

Everyone I meet these days is acutely aware that we are entering an extraordinary time to be alive. This is a time of such rapid transition that it is hard to find any parallel. All times of transition, for all of us, brings with it the destruction of the old and the rebirth of the new.

If we are attached to the old ways of doing things, the old ways of being human on this planet, this could be a very scary time. We are seeing many structures of which we have become accustomed to breaking down and becoming obsolete. From Wall Street to the High Street, and from your mortgage to the environment, things are not as predictable as they have been in the past. If on the other hand, we are open to a completely new way of being human, possibly a much safer and more sufficient way, then this could be an incredibly exciting time for all of us.

The pivotal difference in how we perceive this time of rapid change lies in the state of our consciousness. On one level of consciousness, this time is all about death and destruction and despair. In another state of consciousness it is all about rebirth, opportunity and hope.

How can we change the state of our consciousness quickly and reliably? For most of us, most of the time, this is a very haphazard affair. We may feel that we have little or no control over how we see ourselves, and perceive the world around us.

I would like to share with you the most effective practice I know of to liberate your-self from suffering. A transformation from perceived darkness to a humorous sigh that makes all of this a simple yet dramatic play. This very simple and important practice is extremely beneficial, and will lead you into higher states of consciousness and eventually will guide you into awakening.

Welcome suffering, look for the story; do the practice and release it It's a three step process. It‟s a process that will completely liberate you if you do it wholeheartedly. Step #1 welcome suffering; #2 look for the story; #3 do the practice.

Step #1: Be willing to face yourself; particularly when suffering arises in you. Whenever suffering arises like guilt, loneliness, depression, anger or anything that causes emotional contraction. You have to turn within and face it, because is showing you where you are not yet

free. You have to welcome it. You have to stop running away from it and instead turn around and lovingly welcome it.

Step #2: Look for the story behind it. There is always a story behind emotional contraction and suffering. Now the good news is that you don't actually have to know what the story is. It helps to know. It is useful to know. That is why therapy is good. Therapy has its place, because we learn to get in touch with our story around suffering.

Step #3: Do the practice: The practice is stepping back from your awareness so that you become really present whenever there's a story and you are suffering. You learn to become very present, and step back with consciousness. The second part of the practice is that you can affirm to yourself the one story that is always true: I am not my story; I am the awareness which creates the stories. And really expand that feeling of being aware, being very present and conscious of all that exists; here and now.

If you do this 3 step process regularly, I can promise that it will lead you to awakening; eventually. You may have to do it many times; maybe hundreds of times. Until you notice that your suffering is less. Until you are more present and you find that you are living more here and now. Until you feel liberated and lighter; happier and more in the flow. One day you will come to see that the „self‟ that you have built your identity around is only a concept; an idea. You can't actually find it. When you see that, when you see that even this, this „I‟ that I have taken to be „myself‟ is not even real. When you see that, then you are free. Then you will also see that most negative thoughts are unreal; just a passing illusion. What is truly real and timeless is only consciousness and that awareness is what we are. You will retain a sense of self. You will still notice an “I” and a me. What changes is that now your identity no longer comes from your “I” or me. You no longer have an identity created from all of the stories that once pumped up and maintained your ego. Now your identity comes from „being‟ itself. Being alive and being aware.

That is what your identity is; simply being here and now; pure essence. . You may have an identity in the world, but only for convenience. Who you really are that you will become to know, is nobody.

As someone recently commented, “It‟s a good joke that I have heard before, but you seem to tell it really well!” During my spiritual journey I read Osho. And he said that in order to become enlightened, to become free, you had to be nobody. No one likes hearing that. Everyone has an inherent need to be somebody in life. Haven‟t you always wanted to be somebody? It took me awhile to realize that I am nobody. Now how does that work? The more awake that you are, the more you will live in the now. After all you are right here right now. This is it. This is the only reality that exists. Right here right now. You honor the past. The stories of the past are your lineage and after all they did help you to get to where you are right NOW. Everything that you have experienced; good or bad has created the person and the level of consciousness that you presently are calling “me”. You may still keep an eye on the future; your goals, your dreams and plans for the future with many possible scenarios. You may still consider some of those things.

But you will enjoy much more choosing to always live in the here and now. The really great news is that as you become free of your stories, your heart opens up even more, with all of the wonderful feelings and qualities of the heart; like gratitude and joy, and thankfulness and love and intimacy and caring; they will all just flow abundantly into your life. You won‟t be able to stop yourself from sharing this abundance with all that you come into contact with; and you will meet beautiful people that will also share in your new inspiration and adventurous new love of life and commitment to waking up from the tricks of the mind. As love is all there is; all else is illusion. I am sending you blessings so that you too will wake up soon to this wondrous reality.

With love Alexis

Celebrate Sadness Celebration is gratitude for whatever existence gives you; it is appreciation.

Even through unhappiness you can have an attitude of celebration. For instance: If you are sad; don’t identify with sadness. Become a witness and enjoy the moment of sadness, because sadness has its own beauty. You have never observed. You identify so much that you never really see the beauty of a sad moment. If you observed, you would be amazed to discover the treasures that you have been missing.

Look - when you are happy you are never as deep as when you are sad. Sadness has a depth of its own; happiness has superficiality in itself. Just observe happy people. Those who say they are happy will be found in clubs, in hotels, in theatres… they are always smiling and bubbly with happiness. You will always find them quite superficial. But sadness has depth within. When you are sad it is not like waves on the surface, it is like the depth of the Pacific Ocean itself.

Go to the depths, watch it. Happiness is noisy; sadness has its silence. Happiness can be like the day, whilst sadness is like night. Happiness can be like the light, whilst sadness is like darkness. The light comes and goes; darkness remains; it’s eternal. Light happens sometimes; darkness is always there. If you surrender to sadness you will feel all these things. Then you will realize that sadness is there, as something that you are watching and witnessing, and suddenly you begin to feel happy.

Sadness is so beautiful! A flower of darkness; a flower of eternal depth. It is like an abyss with no bottom, very silent, very musical; there is no noise at all, no disturbance.

One can start falling endlessly within and come out absolutely rejuvenated. It is restful and restoring.

It depends on your attitude. When you are feeling sad you think that something bad has happened to you. It is an interpretation. That something bad has happened, and then you start trying to escape. You never meditate about it. You just want to see somebody; go to a party, to the club or switch on the TV or the radio, or begin to read the newspaper; anything that will take your mind away from it. This is the wrong attitude, the idea that sadness is bad. Nothing is wrong with it. It is just another polarity in life.

Happiness is one pole, sadness is another. Bliss is one pole, misery is another. Life consists of both, and life is a ritual due to both of them. A blissful life will have expansion, but will not have depth. A life of sadness will have depth, but will not have development. A life of both sadness and bliss is multidimensional; it moves in all directions. Observe Buddha’s statue or look into my eyes sometimes and you fill find both things; bliss, peace, as well as sadness. You will find a bliss that contains sadness in

it, because that sadness gives it depth. Observe Buddha’s statue; blissful, yet sad. The very word sad gives out wrong connotations, that something is wrong. This is your interpretation. For me, life, in its totality, is good. And when you understand life in its totality, only then can you celebrate, not in any other way. Celebration means; whatever happens is not important; I will celebrate. Celebration is not conditional to certain things.

"When I am happy I will celebrate" or "when I am unhappy I will not celebrate" Celebration is unconditional; I celebrate life.

If something brings unhappiness; fine, I celebrate it. If something brings happiness; fine, I celebrate it. Celebration is my attitude, unconditionally to what life brings. But the problem arises because whenever I use words, words have connotations in our mind.

When I say "celebrate", you think that one has to be happy. How can one celebrate when one’s sad? I am not saying that one has to be happy to celebrate. Celebration is gratitude to whatever life gives you: Celebration is gratitude for whatever existence gives you: it is appreciation. Osho

Testimonials It was a marvelous experience. I have never felt such peace and tranquility in my whole body, and when I shut my eyes I began to see different colors of light (yellows, purples, oranges, and blues) thank you for giving me deep peace and tranquility on this day. Joaquín Lagunas Linijo I could actually feel the energy. I didn´t see but instead felt the colors. The power of the mind is incredible, and more so the state of perfect balance that I achieved.

Positive Mind Consciousness is the Programming Language of the Universe If you have a golf ball size consciousness when you read a book you will have a golf ball size understanding. When you look out with your eyes: a golf ball size awareness and when you wake up in the morning: a golf ball size wakefulness. What if you could expand that consciousness?

Then you would read a book with more understanding, you would see with more awareness and you would wake up with more wakefulness. It's called consciousness and there is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside of each one of us. Its right at the source and base of mind, right at the source of thought and it is also at the source of all matter.

There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume that behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter. Matter seems like a good place to begin. The solidity of the world seems totally indisputable: as a fixed thing that you can see and touch. Your body is also reassuring solid. Beginning with Einstein modern physics has assured us that this solidity is a mirage.

All of physical matter ;everything that we have around us is the result of a frequency and what that also means is that if you amplify the frequency; the structure of the matter will change.

This self contained system is a hologram which is what I call the Super Hologram. Everything within it is an expression of that hologram. One of the great characteristics of a hologram is that every part of a holographic picture is a smaller version of the whole.

It's as if reality is so connected that when you look at one small part you are able to see things about other parts. The entire whole is contained in one part. Meaning that you can’t divide reality up because you would in essence cut up the hologram creating an inability to find where one particle is because it's always a reflection of all particles.

In a hologram the whole pattern is whole and complete unto itself which is clear if you were to take any little portion of this whole out and examine it closely. You would see the entire pattern repeating itself again and again and again. If we were to change one little aspect in anyone of these little holograms anywhere in this pattern that change would be reflected throughout the entire system.

Quantum Physics has revealed what ancient masters knew. Matter does not exist. The concept of substance arose from the philosophy of Aristotle and from that concept came science’s conception of matter. The fact of the matter is that the substance of the universe is consciousness.

Belief that the substance of the universe is matter leads to what I call a "fear brain dichotomy" as people in their quiet desperation attempt to accumulate as many mercurial possessions and riches as possible. In fact the substance of the universe is consciousness. Therefore it is behavior that is most important.

If you enter into the realm of fear you will notice that fear is a very slow dense vibracional state.

The more you embody fear of the whole, in which this manipulated society is globally structured

to make us feel; fearfulness naturally creates stress, causing worry about tomorrow, and feeling guilty about yesterday. We completely forget about the Now as fear brings us along with it; into that very slow vibrating dense state.

We need to be careful about what we believe about the future as the more that you attach to a belief system the more; (if reality is holographic) you’re helping create it by simply believing it.

And you know the great clairvoyant Edgar Cayce said that about our every thought. That reality is built out of thought and our every thought starts to build reality. Where every thought is like a spider and we in turn are the spiders creating reality in the spinning of our webs that build and construct themselves from simple thought.

Information is the key, because this matrix; this illusory reality is what we think is real. People ask, what is the matrix? Answer: it's information.

Information creates fractals. As information flow increases the number of fractals (mathematically speaking) increase and this was demonstrated by a mathematician named Theodore Gordon. Fractals are unpredictable functions. So things are becoming more and more unpredictable.

When you start getting into fractals and the Chaos Theory looking at it in terms of a society this is where it starts to cross over into the so called Illuminati - or the negative elite; the world leaders with their philosophy "order out of chaos". There is some truth to that in the sense that when the system becomes highly destabilized there will be random shifts that suddenly self - organize into higher complexities. The subatomic level reality actually behaves in accordance with the expectation of the observer or the measurer of the scientist. Why is that remarkable? Because everything in the universe is composed of those subatomic particles.

These atoms are particles that are whirling at lightning speeds around huge empty spaces and these particles aren't material objects; they are fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void of energy and information. What science is now showing is that when you can change the field that the atom is in; you can change the atom. Since we humans are also made up of those atoms, with the intense feelings inside our hearts we can change the field that connects the essence that everything is made out of; making us capable of altering our own physical reality.

Once you establish the reality that we live in; the nature of what the body is, (a biological computer) and the nature of what we are (pure consciousness). You will begin looking at the way the world is structured and how it works observing why we do this and why we do that it and suddenly it becomes crystal clear why the world is structured as it is. People look through their own eyes and think that THIS is the world and it isn't. It is only a tiny, tiny frequency range within an infinite energy field within infinite frequency ranges. Basically it is like a holographic television program.

It is the act of consciousness that actually creates the building blocks that the universe is made of.

I can't imagine a universe that exists without us, because it is the act of us; that observing the world around us that is creating and allowing us to create as we go around in a participatory universe. We may never find the edge of our universe as we are looking to define what this universe looks like. We may never find the smallest particle in the quantum world to see what this stuff is that we are actually made out of. The reason is because everywhere that we look, everywhere that consciousness explores with the expectation that something will be there, that exploration, that very act of looking; observation is the act that creates something for us to see.

We are actually building this universe as we go.

A Magic Key This key is to first be one with yourself. This is the first step of Oneness: be one with yourself.

And then the last step is: be one with existence. The second is actually very easy. The first has become difficult because of so much conditioning, so much education, and so many efforts to become civilized. The first has become difficult. The first step is just accepting yourself and loving yourself as you are, moment to moment.... For example, you are sad. This very moment you are sad. Your whole conditioning tells you, “You should not be sad. This is bad. You should not be sad. You have to be happy.” Can you see the resistance? It has to be understood that where division is created, the problems start.

You are sad: that is the truth of this moment.

And your conditioning, your mind says, “You should not be like this, you have to be happy.

Smile! What will people think of you?”

Your woman/man may leave you if you are so sad, your friends may desert you if you are so sad, and your business will be destroyed if you remain so sad. You have to laugh, you have to smile, and you have to at least to pretend that you are happy. If you are a doctor your patients will not feel good if you are so sad. They want a doctor who is happy, jolly, healthy, and you are looking so sad. Smile — even if you cannot bring a real smile, bring a false smile, but smile. At least pretend, be an actor.

This is the problem: you pretend and you act. You can manage to smile, but then you have become divided into two. You have repressed the truth, you have become phony.

And the phony is appreciated by the society. The phony becomes the saint, the phony becomes the great leader, and the phony becomes the mahatma. And everybody starts following the phony.

The phony is your ideal.

That‟s why you are unable to know yourself. How can you know yourself if you don‟t accept yourself? You are always repressing your being. What has to be done then? When you are sad, accept the sadness: this is you. Don‟t say, “I am sad.” Don‟t say that sadness is something separate from you. Simply say, “I am sadness. This moment, I am sadness.” If you accept sadness, sadness will disappear. How long can you be sad if you accept sadness? If you are capable of accepting sadness you will be capable of absorbing it in your being; it will become your depth.

Live your sadness in total authenticity.

And you will be surprised that a miraculous door will suddenly swing open internally. If you can live your sadness with no image of being happy, you will immediately and naturally become happy, because the division disappears. There is no division any more. “I am sadness” and there is no question of any ideal to be anything else. So there is no effort, no conflict. “I am simply

this” and there is relaxation. And in that relaxation is grace, and in that relaxation is joy. All psychological pain exists only because you are divided. Pain means division and bliss means nodivision. It will look paradoxical to you: if one is sad, accepting one‟s sadness how can one become joyous? It will look paradoxical, but it is so. Try it.

I am not saying try to be happy; I am not saying that, “Accept your sadness so that you can become happy” — I am not saying that. If that is your motivation then nothing will happen; you are still struggling. You will be watching from the corner of your eye: “So much time has passed and I have accepted even sadness, and I am saying „I am sadness”, and joy is still not coming. “It will not come that way.

Joy is not a goal, it is a by-product.

It is a natural consequence of oneness, of unity. Just be united with this sadness, with no motivation, for no particular purpose. There is no question of any purpose. This is how you are in this moment; this is your truth in this moment. And in the next moment you may be angry: accept that too. And the next moment you may be something else: accept that too.

Live moment to moment, with tremendous acceptance, without creating any division, and you are on the way towards self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is not a question of reading the Upanishads and sitting silently and reciting, “Aham Brahmasmi, I am God.” These are all foolish efforts.

Either you know you are God, or you don‟t know it. You can go on for your whole life repeating, “Aham Brahmasmi, I am God.” You can waste your whole life in repeating it, but you will not know it.

If you know it, there is no point in repeating it. Why are you repeating it? If you know, you know.

If you don‟t know, how can you know by repetition? Just see the whole stupidity of it.

But that‟s what is being done in the world, also in monasteries and ashrams. What are people doing? Parrot-like repetition. I am giving you a totally different approach. It is not by repetition of the Bible or Vedas that you will become a knower, no. You will only become knowledgeable.

Then how does one come to know oneself?

Drop the division: the division is the whole problem. You are against yourself. Drop all ideals, which create this antagonism in you.

You are the way you are: accept it with joy, with gratitude.

Suddenly a harmony will be felt. The two selves in you, the ideal self and the real self, will not be there to fight any more. They will meet and merge into one.

It is not really sadness that gives you pain. It is the interpretation that sadness is wrong that gives you pain, and that becomes a psychological problem. It is not anger that is painful; it is the idea that anger is wrong that creates psychological anxiety. It is the interpretation, not the fact. The fact is always liberating.

Jesus says, “Truth liberates.” And that is of tremendous importance. Yes, truth liberates, but not the simple act of knowing about truth. You must be truth, and it will liberate you. Be the truth, and there is liberation. You need not bring it, and you need not wait for it: it happens instantly and naturally.

I feel that I’m being a miser with my energy It is good to be aware...just be aware. Don’t condemn; condemnation is not going to help. It will only make you feel guiltier, and a guilty person becomes more miserly. Just try to understand it.

If you are miserly in your energy, then try to understand, “I am a miser in my energy and I don’t share.” Allow this fact to simply be there. Now move again in relationship, with people, remembering this fact. Allow this fact/reality to always be there reminding you.

And then when you feel like it; do something which is NOT miserly...because these are learned habits. Just do something which is not miserly. Once you do something which is not miserly, you will say “What foolishness I was doing!”

Just today I was reading about the life of an American millionaire. He never gave a single cent to any donation. Beggars wouldn’t even bother to visit his house, and people who wanted donations would never ask him because they knew that he would say no. His no was absolute.

When one friend was gathering donations for a college, he decided to visit the millionaire and said to him, “I don’t want a real donation from you as I am clear that you are not going to give one to me. Please just do me one favor and give me a false check and in just two days’ time I promise that I will even return this worthless piece of paper to you. But that check will actually help me a lot. Please just write me a check for ten thousand dollars — a false check — and then I will be able to show the whole town that you have donated ten thousand dollars, and then others will also give. After I have collected others’ donations successfully, your false donation will be returned, I promise.”

The millionaire thought about this offer for awhile and couldn’t find anything wrong in it and as he knew that he could trust this man as he was a personal friend. He decided to give the money in this form of a check, and the whole town began talking about it. For two days continuously, people phoned him. People from all over went to visit him and shared, “We were all thinking that you were such a miser. We were obviously wrong.”

After two days passed the friend returned to his friend the millionaire ...he had successfully collected thousands of dollars for his college. He very gratefully said to him, “Here is your check as I promised. Please take it back knowing that we are very grateful to you; because of it we have received so much more.”

The miser got emotional and began crying. He said, “Please keep it with you as I will make it good and I have decided to also give you ten thousand more dollars, because I never knew how happy it makes you feel to give. So many people have phoned to praise me and so many others actually visited my home. For the first time I saw a totally different dimension. I wasn’t aware of how I have been hoarding and hoarding and hoarding, and now I have never felt so good about myself as I have felt in these last two days. Now I have decided that I am going to always give.

Please inform the whole town that whosoever needs, that they should come and visit me. Even in the middle of the night, I will be ready to give. I have tasted it...”

So the only thing that you can do is to actually do something; anything which is NOT miserly and taste that dimension of sharing. If it feels good, then you may wish to do it again. If it doesn’t feel good, that is also fine as you can easily fall back into your old pattern. Nobody is hindering the path.

But don’t repent and don’t condemn. Simply become more aware and alert of your ways, how you function and how the mechanism of the mind works, ok?

Osho- Be Realistic: Plan for a Miracle

Existence is abundant - millions and millions of flowers, millions of birds, millions of animals — everything in abundance.

Nature is not ascetic; it is everywhere dancing — in the ocean, in the trees. It is everywhere singing — in the wind passing through the pine trees, in the birds....

What is the need of millions of solar systems, each solar system having millions of stars?

There seems to be no need, except that abundance is the very nature of existence; that richness is the very core; that existence does not believe in poverty. Osho

Testimonial I felt an unbelievable amount of enjoyable sensations, mostly when the energy was rising in intensity through the connected hands as we focused on each chakra which brought me to the degree of feeling dizzy and I wanted to scream in ecstasy without being able to. Just after finishing the breathing exercise and beginning the relaxation I suddenly saw myself swimming under water and at the same moment flying high amongst the clouds. After that I saw myself running at an impossible speed but with the sensation that I was going in slow motion. I wish to express to you my extensive gratitude for all my hallucinating wonderful sensations that I experienced. And it is true that I also saw, yellow, red, purple and green colors.

Five Life Principles of Energy Just for today, I will not worry Worrying is the result of feeling separated from the Whole.

Having negative thoughts makes us feel disconnected.

Instead of worrying, and speculating about the future, learn to trust, to flow with life, to live the present moment. The here and now is the only reality. While anger deals with past and present events, worry deals with future ones. Although worry is not always a negative phenomenon, endless worries may fill one's head, and each one bores a small hole in one's body and soul.

Letting go of worry, brings healing into the Body Just for today, I will not be angry Learn to observe your mind. Instead of reacting mechanically, observe what is provoking your reaction. Behind the anger, there is always fear and insecurity. Don’t repress your anger; go deep into it to know its roots. Embrace this fear and allow yourself to feel it, and through fully experiencing it, you will be transformed. Anger at oneself, others or at the whole world, creates serious blockages in one's energy. It is the most complex inner enemy. Transforming anger brings Peace into the Mind.

Be kind to and respect all living things Reality, seen from the outside, seems as if each being is independent from the rest. Reality, seen from the inside, shows us that everything is an expression of the same energy as everything is interconnected because nothing is independent. Learn to respect yourself, and little by little, you will naturally develop a deep respect towards everything that surrounds you. Honor your parents, honor your teachers, and honor your elders. Being Kind brings Love into the Will.

Earn an honest living Be honest with yourself and always listen to your heart. Do things which make you feel good knowing that it is not what you do that is important, but how you do it‌ Bring more consciousness and love into your daily chores. Let your heart be present in your work‌ whatever it may be. Support yourself and your family respectably, without harming others. Earn a respectable living and live a life of honor. Working honestly brings Abundance into the Soul.

Feel gratitude towards life Be grateful from your heart inward. Inner intention is the important element in this principle.

Trust life knowing that life always gives you what you need (though not necessarily what you want). Desire less and trust more. Welcome whatever life brings you. Life gives you, at all times, whatever you need in order to grow. Even those unpleasant things that you don’t like are merely opportunities for you to awaken. To understand this is to open up to a great mystery. Simple things as thanks, forgiveness, smile, good words and gratitude can also improve others lives bringing them happiness. Being thankful brings Joy into the Spirit.

My message is very simple: Live life as passionately as possible.

Live life totally, because life is the only God. It depends on you. Life is a blank canvas; it turns into anything you want to paint on it.

You can paint unhappiness, you can paint happiness. This freedom is your glory.

First let's understand what I mean by "life".

Life must not be simply getting older.

It must be growth.

These are two different things. Any animal is capable of growing older, but growth is a human prerogative. Only a few claim this right. Growth means plunging deeply, in every moment, in the origin of life. The deeper you go into life, the more you understand what is immortal inside yourself. And there comes a moment when you can see that death is no more than a change of clothing or a change of address, a change in the outer form. Nothing dies, nothing can die.

Death is the biggest lie.

Look at a tree. As the tree grows, its roots go deeply downwards. There is a balance, the more elevated the tree, the deeper its roots go. A 50-ft tree could not exist with small roots; they could never sustain such a large tree.

In life growth means deepening inside yourself, that is where you find your roots.

For me the first foundation of life is meditation.

Everything else is secondary.

Meditation means entering your immortality, your eternity, your divinity.

Complaint or Responsibility: Your Choice A divine spark is within each individual but in some it needs to be drawn out and fanned into a flame. It has to be recognized before anything can be done about it. Wake up from your slumbers and recognize the divinity within you and nurture it to allow it to grow and flourish. A seed has to be planted in the soil before it can grow. It has within it all its potentials, but those potentials remain dormant until they are given the right conditions in which to grow and develop. There are many souls in this life that will not wake up to their full divine potential as they are like seeds stored away in seed packets. You must want to break your bonds to be free. As soon as the desire is there you will receive help and support in many ways from the Divine, but the desire in you first, must be there.

Are you aware of how you are choosing to live this lifetime? In one way it does not seem to matter at all, and in another way it is actually a wonderful opportunity. Gurdjeff is quoted as saying that ‘humans are not born with a soul -- they have to earn them’.

Were you aware that most people live their lives complaining and expressing negativity more so than living in gratefulness and choosing to remain open to opportunities? Unfortunately this is due to the fact that the mind actually prefers to suffer. When we become more conscious of this fact; we realize that complaint is not responsible. You may have noticed that many humans at times- act as if they have an allergy to being responsible. Living that way can have unpleasant consequences as when a person is stuck in a complaining mode, they become so identified with that negative energy that creative suggestion for alternatives are rarely given. Like the movie reviewers who always make it a point to find something negative to say –rarely ever attempt to act, write, paint, or produce anything creative of their own.

Life to me is quite simple. I see the 'ultimate' as being a fulfilled human being.

Have you noticed that most so-called ‘successful people’ do not seem truly happy or fulfilled.

Take a look at most of the lives of these so-called ‘successful people’!

Check out the state of the lives of the truly rich and famous; mostly are quite tragic.

Anyone can be successful -- at anything.

A bit of aptitude helps make things easier, but anyone can do anything that they want to do -- if they want it enough. The main ingredient is not skill, it is perseverance. Skills develop with perseverance. Want it enough? Prepared to put enough energy into getting it? -- You got it.

Success is empty if it is not grounded in being a fulfilled human being.

What are traits of a fulfilled human being? Honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, openness, availability, gratefulness, transparency, unknowingness, spontaneity, unconditional, joyful, happiness without reason, inner peace. Once you have realization that you are a fulfilled human being, success at anything else is just a bonus.

So how do you go about being a fulfilled human being? You can start right now wherever you are, whatever you are doing whether alone or with another. Be present and completely aware of the moment and what is occurring inside of you, outside of you, and open yourself; unconditionally – are you smiling yet?

Have you ‘got it’? It isn’t what you have 'accomplished' on the outside, but has everything to do with connecting with that inner harmony that is deep within you/the presence/ essence/the whole.

As we are attempting to surf on these incoming energies with the world economic crisis, we are actually experiencing them on many different levels. It is really exciting to witness and also be a part of what is happening during these transforming times.. It is clear that an ability to let go and allow the old to die and be willing to open to grow and embrace the New and the Now is the recommended prescription for 2009. I’ve always loved Bob Dylan's line "if you're not busy being born you're busy dying". Simply letting go into the experience of what being human feels like, and going even deeper into those feelings. What is especially needed Now is a willingness to go into the pain that was intentionally being avoided all along; this is a necessary detail.

We have all been programmed to believe that once we have attained our goals; we will be happy.

We continue to believe in that belief even though there is no proof that it is true. The truth may in fact be the contrary! But we of course do not want to admit this, otherwise, we are not in control – and after all, what is there to live for!

It isn’t really possible to feel fulfilled with anything on the outside because -- it cannot bring us what we are really seeking: a feeling of safety, security, and predictability. Even though we hardly know anyone who is presently experiencing this safe and secure feeling, we continue to believe that it must be possible.

The reason we do not feel safe and secure is because these states do not exist in this physical dimension with our present level of consciousness. Nothing is safe, nothing is secure and nothing is predictable. That is the way this dimension is. And we are the ones that have designed it that way.

We are not here for a vacation -- this is a learning/evolving dimension.

We are not here just to observe, we are here to participate. We are here to experience. We are here to live. We are here to experience everything that we need to experience in order to evolve.

To Fall in Love with Life Stop Being a Dabbler: Why not excel in everything that you do? To be really good at anything you have to keep on practicing it until you have mastered it. Why do you imagine that you can have perfect results in this spiritual life when you actually only dabble in it? Stop being a dabbler and plunge in wholeheartedly. This life calls for everything you have got to make it really work, so why not give all you have got and see what happens? It is a truly wonderful and glorious life when you are willing to give yourself completely to it, but not otherwise. How can you really be happy unless you are free? No one can be happy when they are tied up with themselves and selfconcern. Freedom comes from self-forgetting, from giving all and holding nothing back. I need you free, so give and give and go on giving.

To grow in awareness; do this simple 10 min technique daily This is a simple 5 step meditation that we need to practice. It is specifically designed to grow in awareness.

1. Invoke the presence of the Divine in which you have a personal relationship 2. Remember beautiful events from the day or life and feel grateful (If the grateful emotion is not used it will disappear. If you don‟t use your arm you will lose your arm. Strengthen gratitude by feeling it. It‟s one of the best medicines for a Healthy body, physically, mentally and spiritually. Soak in the feeling, and you will heal yourself!)

3. Become aware of any charges and experience the charge.

4. Chant/Sing this Mantra: Suffering is not in the fact but in our perception of the fact x 7 (This is a re-affirmation, forming a new habit, re-conditioning the brain. To form this new habit sit in the right position, hands in correct mudra position (index finger tip at base of thumb). Breathe in, hold breath and chant mantra internally.)

5. Seeking forgiveness and forgive.

(This will help you „clean the slate‟ for the next day. You don‟t carry things over.)

Do this each day!

If you do it each day it will become a good habit and will help you grow and live in awareness.

What does awareness lead to? It breaks old habits and once broken; the next time that you become jealous, angry, self-centered, etc you will not be resistant to it. When you stop resisting you become CALM..... which then leads to BLISS. What are your responses to feeling discomfort/pain? (Take note of the order that you would normally respond, starting with the most popular)

1. Blame: We Blame someone/people/situation/systems/ourself. Why do we blame? To avoid pain, discomfort as your mind distracts its attention away from pain thus making you feel a little better temporarily.

2. We look for reasons: We look for explanations and analyse the situation. „It happened to me because .....‟ ......‟it‟s all been a misunderstanding‟ We do this to avoid discomfort, as it makes us feel better.

3. Give it a value. „I think „God‟ wants me to suffer‟ „...it‟s a blessing in disguise.‟ We try to give it a value, making it profound so that we can say; “now I feel blessed/alright”.

4. Do something to distract yourself. Eat, go for a walk, chat with someone, work, sleep, watch TV or clean the house. A good way of escaping and avoiding pain.

We need to be aware of what our habitual responses are to discomfort/pain In order to experience suffering; 1. First know that you are suffering 2. Become conscious of our habitual questions, who, why?

3. Ask the right questions for correct focus 4. Become aware of our habitual response, going by order of significance, 5, Make the decision: Left hand on right thigh, right hand on top of left. (Engage breath, emotion and body). Take deep breath and say: ‘I am experiencing this suffering fully until it is gone’ (this re-programmes your brain/your responses) 6 Invoke the presence. With the intention; ‘please help me experience this suffering fully!)

7 Experience it until it is gone.

8. Make an affirmation. Breathe and sing/chant ‘suffering is not in the fact but in the perception of the fact’ x7 9. Gratitud

Positive Mind

Do You Know Who You Are? That is a question that many still ask; even at the age of sixty. Do you know what you see when you look at yourself? Do you know what you are; does it even matter to you? Are you just in the world going along from day today, never giving it a thought. You get out of bed, shower, drink coffee, dress, and go about your day. Stop for a moment. Who are you? Is anything at all getting to you? Are you in love? Do you even know what love is? Are you angry, or sad for no reason?

Do you love the feel of the sun rays hitting you, as you walk? Do the clouds do anything for you when you look up? Do you even look up; do you even notice that the clouds are there? Have you given any thought to life, how do you know who you are, and how do you find out? Do you know your age, your real age? Do you have a soul? Do you know how to be the truth?

You are already the truth. You are just carrying false ideals; they are creating the trouble. Drop the ideals: for a few days be a natural being. Just like trees and animals and birds, accept your being as you are. And a great silence arises. How can it be otherwise? There is no interpretation: then sadness is beautiful, it has depth. Then anger too is beautiful it has life and vitality. Then sex too is beautiful, because it has creativity.

When there is no interpretation, all is beautiful. When all is beautiful, you are relaxed.

In that relaxation you have fallen into your own source and that brings self-knowledge. Falling into one‟s own source is what is meant by “Know thyself.” It is not a question of knowledge; it is a question of inner transformation.

What transformation am I talking about? I am not giving you any ideal that you must be like; I am not saying that you have to transform from what you are and become somebody else. You have simply to relax into whatsoever you are, and just see it for what it is.

Have you understood? Just seeing the point: is liberating. And a great harmony, a great music is heard. That music is of self-knowledge. And your life starts transforming.

Find a special place for yourself and rest in it. In your room, your office, a terrace, a roof, a park, a beach, a quiet place, a thinking place, but no thinking is necessary. Do you pray? Do you even know how to pray, do you know who to pray to, is it a form, or a being? Does it shine, or talk?

Who or what do you pray to? When did it start, how long has this thing called praying gone on in your life? A minute, a day, an hour, weeks, months, years, again who do you pray to? Do you have a sense of who or what the Divine is? Do you have your own name for the Divine or do you call him/her God/Goddess? Do you know where he/she came from, how long he/she has been here, and what is this thing or person called God mean for you? Have you read anything about him/her, do you think it‟s true or you haven‟t you given it much thought? If you haven‟t, NOW is a good time to create your own personal relationship in just the manner that YOU would like and using the name that YOU feel most comfortable using. Creating your own Divine Presence

connection could feel like relating with your closest and dearest friend. Or it could feel like a loving attentive and accepting parental figure like mother or father. You need to decide what is best for you and choose accordingly. In this special quiet place that you have chosen and created for this purpose, adjust your body so that you can rest in a comfortable position.

When you are ready, connect with your heart space by taking a few deep breaths focusing on your heart and imagining that it is full of brightly colored lotus flowers or roses that suddenly begin to open and blossom emitting a beautiful fragrance.. Be prepared to experience whatever is happening inside of your heart as each time may be unique and accept each moment as it is and from that place start talking to your image of the Divine/God, just talk, he/she hears you perfectly, allowing yourself to let it all go, everything that you feel, and whatever that „everything‟ is inside of you, tell it to God; giving it freely. He already knows it before you actually say it, so there is no need to lie. If you do; observe that to. Know that you can tell him the truth; as he accepts you completely as you are. How does it feel to let it all go? What are you supposed to feel? You won‟t know until it happens. As time goes on, and it may take some time as that amount is different for everyone, to be free, from self, completely free.

And when you are free, there is nothing on Earth like it! It is so, POWERFUL to know who you are,” WHO YOU ARE” what some look for all of their lives, and some may never find. Are you looking for you? Do you have any interest to know who you are? Have you ever counted the grains of sand on the beach, wondering if you will ever know exactly how many grains there are spread across the beach? Next time you have the chance, really look at the beach, each and every one of those teeny tiny grains of sand. Also take a moment to look out over the water connected to that beach for a moment and focus on a wave. That is who you are, and that is how powerful freedom is. Contemplate and meditate on that for a moment feeling deep inside what that means for you in this very moment.

Anger

A broad description of one aspect of anger is that it masks fear. Almost everyone has fear, so almost everyone has anger. Anger is actually a poison to the whole body/mind/emotional system, and as the body is a self-healing system it tries to get the anger out as soon as it can and anyway that it can.

As the ego feels humiliated if it has anger, it does not like to admit it has the residual anger -- so it looks for circumstances where it feels as though it is justified for discharging the anger -- usually at someone or something else. The other person/thing is usually seen as the cause of the anger.

But it isn’t really true.

It is not yet realized that everything we see and thus experience is a projection. If we are judgmental we assume that everyone is. "Judge ye not less ye be judged."

If you are one of the rare people who do not have residual anger you will not be able to be angry, ever; about anything or anyone even if you want to. It is not there, so it cannot manifest.

Often angry people get very angry about people who get very angry -- and feel justified in doing so. Their anger is okay, and the other's anger is wrong. A bit silly isn’t it?

Shouting at someone for shouting is a bit crazy, isn't it? But the mind always finds a justification for its actions. It has to -- or it feels humiliated.

When someone tells a lie about us, do we get angry? It can feel as though we have just cause for being angry if someone is spreading a lie about us, but it is not so. The truth is that we get angry when, at some level, we feel guilty -- because we know that part/all of the lie is true and do not want to face that fact. Guilt is the other side of anger. And anger is the other side of guilt.

Check it out. If you are angered by something, stop and take a look. No matter how small, does the thing out there that is angering you have any seeds in you? The answer is yes. If you have clearly seen that part of you and completely accepted it, you will not feel anger at the other person, you will feel instead compassion for them.

In one part of the bible it says something like: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Good business for dentists and optometrists! Jesus says turn the other cheek. As with many of the quotes from Jesus there is a depth to this that is not usually realized. It is not about being passive; it has a much deeper meaning.

Once you have seen your anger, accepted it and stopped supporting it you will start to feel free inside. It is a very liberating and wonderful feeling. Check it out for yourself.

‘Why is it that we shout when we are angry?’

A saint asked his disciples, ‘Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?’

His disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because when we are angry we lose our center, we must shout for that reason.’

‘But, why do you shout when the other person is just next to you?’ asked the saint. ‘Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a normal tone or in a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you’re angry?’

Disciples gave various other answers but none of them satisfied the saint.

Finally the saint explained, ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance themselves a lot from each other. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are the stronger and more forceful they feel that they need to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.’

Then the saint asked, ‘What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but rather begin to talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very short…’

The saint continued, ‘When they begin to love each other even more deeply, what happens? They do not speak, choosing to only whisper and they grow even closer to each other in their love.

Finally they need not even whisper, they only look at each other enjoying the silence and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they truly love each other.

‘MORAL’ said the saint: ‘When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other even more, or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you be unable to find the path to return!’

The Liberation We Seek is Already There What is sought remains hidden from the seeker by already being everything. It is so obvious and simple that the grasping of it obscures it. Never found, never knowable, being is the consummate absence that is beyond measure.

Looking for being is; believing that it is lost. Has anything been lost, or is it simply that the looking keeps it away? Does the beloved always dance constantly just beyond our serious focus?

The very intention to seek for a mythical treasure within life inevitably obscures the reality that life is already the treasure. By seeking the myth it dreams it can attain, the seeker effectively avoids that which it most fears … its absence.

Liberation is like a fuse that suddenly blows and all the little lights go out and there is only light that remains.

This is not a message about you or me or anyone getting anything. This is about the realization that there‟s nothing to get … that what has been sought has never been lost.

This isn‟t about seeking or not seeking; it‟s beyond the concepts of Advaita and non-dualism and beyond the idea of reaching states of awareness or mindfulness. There‟s no goal. There‟s nothing on offer here. This is totally beyond knowing.

This is really a description – a sharing together of a description of something that is beyond attainment, something that can‟t be lost and also can‟t be grasped or gained.

All the time there‟s separation there‟s a sense of loss, there‟s a sense of a feeling that there‟s something that isn‟t whole. And so the seeker attempts to fill that void, fill it with something – whatever. And some look to something called “enlightenment” because it is felt that enlightenment might be the thing that will fill this sense of loss; it could be the answer to some secret that we don‟t quite get.

And it sounds, when we read about enlightenment, as though somebody else has found the secret.

But nobody‟s found any secret.

The difficulty is that being seekers, the energy of seeking pushes us into being attracted to the idea that somebody else has found something that we have yet to find, because we grow up believing that effort brings results. So, if effort brings results, and we‟ve heard of something called enlightenment or liberation, we can make the effort and then we can become liberated or enlightened … like this guy up the road that we‟ve heard about, or that woman that‟s giving satsangs. They have got something that I want. If I go there; I will also learn how to get it.

In the dream there‟s still an idea that enlightenment or liberation is something that‟s attainable.

And so there are teachings that reinforce the idea that you are an individual that has choice, so now you, as an individual, can choose to self-enquire or to meditate, or whatever else, and eventually you could become enlightened.

You can go all over the world and find teachings offering something to get. It is rare, however, to find an uncompromising communication that offers nothing at all to the seeker.

This aliveness is nothing being everything. It‟s just life happening. It‟s not happening to anyone.

There‟s a whole set of experiences happening here and they‟re happening in emptiness … they‟re happening in free fall. They‟re just what‟s happening. All there is is life. All there is, is beingness.

There isn‟t anyone that ever has or does not have it. There‟s nobody that has life and somebody else doesn‟t have life. There just is life being life.

This message is so simple it totally confounds the mind. This message is too simple. Already your mind‟s saying, “Yes, but come on … what about the levels of enlightenment and what about my emotional blocks, and what about my chakras, they‟re not all fully open? What about my stillness – I‟m not really still yet, and what about my ego? Somebody told me I still have an ego … it‟s a bit reduced but it‟s still there.”

But all of that, all of those ideas are adopted lessons about how it should be. The ego is what‟s happening. The ego is just being ego. Thinking is just being thinking. There is only being. There is just being. There‟s nothing else. There‟s nobody that‟s running that. There‟s no destiny, there‟s no God, there‟s no plan, there‟s no script, there‟s nowhere to go because there is only timeless being. Being is totally whole just being. And it is alive and fleshy and sexy and juicy and immediately this; it‟s not some concept about „there‟s no-one here‟. It‟s not some concept about „there‟s nowhere to go‟. It is the aliveness that‟s in that body right now. There is pure beingness, pure aliveness. That‟s it. End of story.

Really it is simply that. So there is no-one, there is no choice. There is no choice at any level.

Oneness didn‟t choose to become two. There is just oneness. All there is, is oneness being alive with nobody doing it. Is anybody doing breathing? Is anybody doing blood circulation? Is anybody really doing anything? No. There is just apparent doing. Apparent life in freefall.

There is no answer to life because life is its own answer. It‟s happening already. It‟s this. You never lost it. That‟s the amazing thing about liberation. When liberation happens people say, “It‟s amazing because the very thing that I was looking for has never left me. It‟s the one thing that never comes and never goes – the one constant that can‟t be known or held onto.” And the one constant is being.

The very intention to seek for a mythical treasure within life inevitably obscures the reality that life is already the treasure.

Be Prepared for Anything to Happen at Any Time Don't tell God how big your storm is; Tell the storm how big your God is!!!

No one can enter the new without a real change of heart, and you can only experience a real change of heart when you choose to do so of your own free will. No one can make you change; they can only show you the way. You have to take it, you have to start the wheels turning and keep them turning.

Positive Thoughts

What is "moving thought forward"??>> It is about being a nucleus that attracts different components of thought so that when they actualize around you -- it is different than it has ever been before! "As I stand in my focused, human experience, and I choose this combination of thoughts and feelings, I am offering a signal that has never been offered before. And so, the Universe must uniquely yield to me, which causes me to offer a vibration that maybe someone somewhere else is matching. If they are, they will certainly come into my experience for the time that we are matching it." That is the way you affect the world. Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about transmitting outward: "I'm going to affect the world from my outgoing signal." That isn't the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator. --- Abraham

Materialism: How to Let Go Materialism or the “joy of ownership” seems to be valued in our society above other, simpler, more wholesome forms of happiness such as that experienced by spending time with loved ones, cooking a nourishing meal or witnessing a glorious sunset. This has become part of our conditioning and we have wound up believing that if we can only attain a particular level of material wealth then that will give us happiness, security and more leisure time.

This conditioning is composed of a set of beliefs which we live by and which we use to support the choices we make every day. This article describes those unhelpful materialistic beliefs and suggests some new sustainable ones with which to replace them. Let me give you some examples of how this works in practice: Materialist belief number 1: “My own initiative is not good enough and I don’t have the time to think through tasks.” - When we hold this belief we think that we have to own specialist items and time saving gadgets. As a consequence of this we buy many items for many different tasks. A more sustainable solution is to use one item for many tasks. E.g. in the kitchen, one high quality kitchen knife will replace a lot of specialist cutting and slicing gadgets. This might well involve us spending more time on food preparation, although there will probably be some time saved on washing up!

Replacement Sustainable Beliefs: “I can distinguish between what is a genuine specialist task and what isn’t.

I have the initiative to solve problems cost effectively and without being seduced by the latest gadgetry. I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I am discerning and spend money wisely. I am slowing down my life in order to live more sustainably. So, I have more time to spend on tasks that are important to me.”

Materialist Belief number 2: “I must stay up-to-date in order to gain the approval of others.” When we hold this belief we are slaves to fashion and new technology. The idea of fashion as something of importance is constructed by those businesses whose motive, above everything else, is to make money. We are led to believe that making a good impression with others is dependent on us owning the latest model (car, computer, cell-phone, fitted kitchen…).

Replacement Sustainable Beliefs: “I am free to choose when and whether to spend money. I use my financial energy to express my authenticity and to support those businesses that are in alignment with my values.”

Materialistic Belief number 3: “I can only love myself if I look good and own the right things.”- This, I think, is a misunderstanding of what it is to be authentic. Genuine authenticity leads to us finding true happiness from within rather than seeking temporary relief from suffering from external items (or indeed other people). For example, fashions in clothing change traditionally with the seasons. It is not necessary for most of us to buy new clothes every season or indeed every year. What is more sustainable is to recycle unwanted or worn out clothes when necessary and replace with the same number or fewer items. We can celebrate our individuality and style by being creative in how we combine and use the items in our wardrobe rather than continually extending the range of clothes we own.

Replacement Sustainable Beliefs: “I love myself unconditionally and my radiant appearance reflects that.

I own what is just enough for me. I know what it is to be authentic and spend my money in alignment with that. I look wonderful when I wear what is right for me, regardless of fashion.

Real beauty radiates from within.”

Materialistic Belief number 4: “I need to own certain things in order to feel secure.”- Perhaps it’s a watch, so you can always keep an eye on the time, or perhaps for you it’s a dog if you live alone or a car if you are not confident in relying on public transport. We are each of us different in how important security is to us and what makes us feel secure. What if we didn’t have that item that we believe is so essential? I used to own health insurance, mainly because it was given to me as part of my employment package when I was an employee. On reviewing the situation when I became self-employed, I realized that I had been using the health insurance as a prop and an excuse for not paying sufficient attention to maintaining my health and looking after myself. So, I decided to take back the responsibility for my health and instead opted to spend the money on organic food plus guidance and support for my wellbeing through personal exercise training in the gym.

Replacement Sustainable Beliefs: “I take responsibility for my own feelings of security. I am aware of my fears. I can distinguish between what I really need to feel secure and what I want to own as a substitute for taking responsibility for myself.” We can learn a great deal from examining our intentions behind what we spend our money on. When we are at peace with that, it becomes easy to let go of materialism.

Liking Something Is Not Enough It is a good thing every now and again to take stock of yourselves and see just how much love there is in you. Take your everyday living and see how much love you are putting into everything you do, say and think. What is your attitude, what is your outlook? You will have to be very honest with yourselves. Are you just doing something because it has to be done, because you ought to do it or feel you are expected to do it? You will always find that your inner attitude towards what you are doing will be reflected in your outer actions. You cannot hide it, you may think you can and you may even be able to persuade yourselves that you like what you are doing.

But liking something is not enough beloveds, you have really to love it and love it wholeheartedly.

What Exactly Are Chakras? Part 1 In my courses we do a very powerful exercise that purifies and balances the chakras. Not everyone is familiar with what chakras are and what role they play in our lives but some people on the spiritual path have at least heard of chakras. There is a remarkable length of time from the earliest records in the ancient Hindu teachings of the Upanishads (in India in the7th century BC) to the use of the chakra system as a comprehensive experiential theory for the growth and development of the human being in the modern Western world. In-depth psychology in the West, greatly influenced by ground-breaking psychologists such as C.G. Jung, views the chakras as gateways into the unconscious mind. In my personal experience, mindfully focusing on one or more of my chakra centers inevitably carries me into an inner journey of discovery and insight. A particular sensation within a chakra center can be an intuitive warning sign or an emotional barometer of my present state. For example, “butterflies in the stomach” will be an indicator of a level of anxiety or excitement I may be feeling at the time in my solar plexus or sacral chakra. I may suddenly feel a degree of pressure or activation in my eyebrow (third eye) centre which may indicate intuitive information coming thru. Meditating on or focusing on our chakra centers can bring insights, connecting us with memories and bringing forth images that are symbolic, archetypal and full of meaning. The experiences can sometimes seem as though they are connected to the dream-world and at the same time the chakras are more like computer databases – full of valuable information.

I have found over the years that many writers have developed their own chakra models – all interesting and of value. I have decided to provide you with various different contemporary approaches – so that you can view the similarities, differences and unique ideas offered. For the purposes of this article I have chosen Anodea Judith, Ruth White, Barbara Ann Brennan, Dr. Brenda Davies and Caroline Myss. The information that I am sharing here happens to be written mainly by women. Each writer describes the chakras as wheels or vortices of energy which are within the individual aura and universal energy field. Most writers link specific chakras with the layers of the aura. Ruth White tells us “different systems are not necessarily in opposition to each other but need to be seen as complementary or amplificatory.” By taking in different perspectives we will eventually arrive at our own personal truth that resonates with our experience.

Anodea Judith - Eastern Body Western Mind

Anodea views the chakras as a map, a set of energy portals between the inner and outer worlds.

She sees this system as every bit as valid as any psychological theory. „A chakra is a centre of organization that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy.‟ Using modern terminology we can think of chakras as floppy disks containing vital programs. The chakra system is an evolutionary program through which we can reprogram our lives. Judith observes that in the western world there are somatic therapies that connect mind and body, but ignore spirituality; there are spiritually oriented psychologies that connect psyche and spirit but leave out the body; there are disciplines like yoga that connect spirit and body, but don‟t address the wounds of the psyche. She brings together: (a) The enlightenment philosophies – mostly from Eastern cultures which focus on transcendence of the earthly plane- up and beyond

(b) The embodiment philosophies – somatic therapy, bioenergetics – with their focus on the divine within – down and in; these philosophies seek to end suffering by engaging with the forces that cause it (c) The integrative philosophies with their movement toward the integration of opposites like mind and body, spirit and matter, light and shadow, male and female, depth psychology and Jung.

For her the seven chakras correlate with basic states of consciousness. Their patterns are programmed deep in the core of the mind-body interface.

Barbara Ann Brennan - Hands of Light

For Barbara Ann Brennan chakras are metabolizers of energy and devices that sense energy. They serve to tell us about the world around us. If we block an experience we also block our chakras.

They then can become „blocked‟, clogged with stagnated energy, spin irregularly or backwards (counter-clockwise) and in extreme cases of disease become severely distorted or torn. When spinning backwards the current flows outward from the body instead of into the chakra, meaning that the chakra is closed to incoming energies.

She divides the chakras into mental, will and feeling centers. To be psychologically healthy all need to be open and in balance. She describes the chakras as being equally important at the back of the body as well as the front - on the front of the body they govern the emotions; their counterparts on the back govern the will.

This transfer of energy called Oneness Experience is universal & useful in all spiritual traditions. It enhances our ability to connect from the Heart with the Divine & with all of the people that we love. Many report that after receiving a Oneness Experience they experience healing on all levels, as well as powerful and ongoing spiritual awakening. Most people are seeking harmony and joy and we have discovered that it is possible for everybody to live in a state of inner freedom, even permanently.

Testimonial The Oneness experience is a powerful catalyst to open to your personal relationship to the Divine - whatever that means for you. The consistent joy and ease it brings to your life is exciting and inspiring. Mariel Hemmingway- Crisman - Actor

What Exactly Are Chakras? Part II Last week I wrote about the Chakras and cited these writers: Anodea Judith, Ruth White and Barbara Ann Brennan. I also mentioned in the previous article that we do powerful exercises that purify and balance the chakras during my courses with the various police, military and govt. organizations around the world. I have found over the years that many writers have developed their own chakra models – all interesting and of value. I have decided to provide you with various different contemporary approaches – so that you can view the similarities, differences and unique ideas offered. The information that I am sharing here happens to be written mainly by women.

Each writer describes the chakras as wheels or vortices of energy which are within our individual aura and universal energy field. Most writers link specific chakras with the layers of the aura. For lack of space I was unable to include 3 particular writers in the previous article: Dr. Brenda Davies, Caroline Myss and especially Ruth White who tells us “different systems are not necessarily in opposition to each other but need to be seen as complementary or amplificatory.”

By taking in different perspectives we will eventually arrive at our own personal truth that resonates with our experience. I am providing various ideas in which you the reader may use to reach your own conclusion as the chakras are interestingly similar to computer databases – full of valuable information.

Brenda Davies - The Rainbow Journey – Seven Steps to Self Healing

Brenda Davies‟ descriptions and ways of healing the chakras are practical and down to earth. She too speaks of blocks in the chakras and cites five different types of „block‟ (we often have a combination): Suppression of feelings leading to depression and despair (heart chakra) Compression – usually of rage which is seen as potentially destructive if allowed to erupt (usually solar plexus) Freezing of feelings – which then results in considerable tension and the need to defend against further possible attack (usually heart chakra) Depletion of energy; abdication of power (either solar plexus and/or sacral) Denial – which is usually a product of fear. The individual acts as if all is fine but underneath there is chaos which is so great that the person must avoid confrontation otherwise they fear breakdown (this is not conscious and can happen in any chakra) Brenda has developed a workbook with self-assessment questionnaires for each chakra. She looks at the basic theory for each chakra plus specific functions and dysfunctions (“when things go wrong …”). She takes the developmental stages further by introducing the idea that each chakra is a primary focus not only during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, but also in later adulthood.

Caroline Myss - Anatomy of the Spirit

Caroline Myss synthesizes three spiritual traditions – the chakras (Hindu), the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah‟s Tree of Life (the ten qualities of Divine nature). She states that the qualities of each are identical; the only difference is how the chakra powers are numbered – the sacraments and chakras go upwards from number one at the base whereas the ten qualities have the number one at the top. She teaches that the strengths and fears associated with each of the seven chakras follow from either honoring, or not honoring, the sacred truth associated with

each of them. If the sacred truth is not honored, the likelihood of energy weakness and possible physical dysfunctions may increase. The chakras symbolize seven levels of evolution through perceptions of power. The chakras, as part of the energy system, contain data and a history of how we invest our life energy. She equates life energy with personal power. How we use that power is an investment that produces a positive or negative dividend. In the chakra system each chakra houses a particular kind of power – from the densest physical power to the most etheric spiritual power. Our development through life tends to follow this – chakras one, two and three resonate with issues of physical and external power, and chakras four, five, six and seven relate to non-physical or internal power. Myss says that it is fear that causes us to lose our power.

Ruth White - Working with your Chakras

“The chakra system expresses the unity of the universe, the unity of the human being and the underlying harmony of both.” Hermetic and Tantric wisdom states: „every human being is an indivisible part of the Universe and is, in itself, an expression of that Universe‟. Ruth White also views the chakras as a map of consciousness that charts a spiritual and evolutionary journey, not only for the individual but also for the whole of humanity. When we are healthy we constantly move between the known and the unknown. Connecting with the chakras enables us to become more consciousness and aware of ourselves and others. She tells us that where we lack certain abilities or we feel inhibited, then the associate chakras become blocked. Such blockages can mean that one or more chakras are energetically over or under active, and this can lead to over or under reaction to other people or life‟s events. Another way of viewing chakras is that they may be too open or too closed or their colors may be too pale or over-intense. She suggests that working with our chakras is not necessarily a replacement for other therapies but it is an effective self-help tool which brings tangible results quickly. In this way it can shorten the need for other therapies and/or deepen our experience. Chakra work is invaluable in maintaining any healing progress.

Conclusion

These various ideas and approaches mean that we are able to have a psychological route through the chakras from the Root to the Crown. We can also explore integrating the relationships between the chakras. There is an immense benefit to adding a daily chakra meditation to your routine as keeping balance in these energy centers will positively affect every aspect of your life.

There are many different chakra meditation techniques available and I suggest that whichever one attracts you most is what you need in the moment. Allow your intuition to guide you and most importantly make the time each day to listen to it. Before bedtime is a perfect time for your meditation as you can play it softly in the background as you fade away into sleep. Some various options are: Chakra Breathing, Chakra Sounds, and Chakra Toning. There is also an ancient Chinese healing art called „Gin Chin‟ which balances the energy centers by simply placing your left hand on the top of your head and placing the other hand over the various chakra centers one by one about 3-5 minutes each.. Enjoy exploring and good luck!

Testimonial It was a very pleasant experience and I liked it very much. I felt intensely relaxed in the beginning and as the exercise advanced; I felt an unexplainable heat and cold simultaneously which made me relax even deeper and ask the Divine for what I wanted. I truly loved it!

Nothing Being Everything Part I The majority of people that experience a daily feeling of emptiness look for something to compensate and fill this void in body and spirit. They live life in an eternal search, with a vain intention to accumulate more of what is possible, and what we do not understand is: obtaining everything actually brings us nothing and that very accumulation of ideas or material things is not the solution. We are seekers as our mind is a well trained bloodhound; our consciousness justifies, but while we have not arrived at the fullness of being, we will stay anchored in a real trap without solution. This subject is complex. There exists a famous Mayan saying that surprises me, “I search for it and I don‟t search for it!” It should really say, “I look for it and simply don‟t find it”. I feel that this subject is very interesting as we so easily enter into an illusion of a search without ever arriving at any outcome. „I really do search for it and I don‟t search for it.‟ We begin with doubt, and we eventually end up doubting everything. We ask questions in an effort to clarify our ideas. I feel that we can benefit by using a question/answer format to go deeper into this subject. In my experience of working with groups and giving conferences, I notice that we are endlessly trying to accommodate things around our own beliefs and concepts to give them validation.

It has been said that the very seeking prevents the seeing..

Yes, it is such a brilliant game of appearances and deflection of attention and just helps to give an understanding of how it is all from the same font; which is just all Divine Play. It‟s the same font, yes. One part doesn‟t want to be the same – or thinks it isn‟t the same font. It‟s absolutely the divine play of being. And being isn‟t the slightest bit interested in the idea of anybody seeing this or not, because there is nothing other than being … and non-realization is also being. So being suffers, being laughs, being searches, being finds, being doesn‟t find. There isn‟t anything other than that. And of course all of that is totally immaculately whole – there is only that so that is all there is. But in that wholeness there is something that thinks it isn‟t wholeness, which is also being, being separate. Being has no requirements. But what arises within being is an apparent need and requirement to find that there is no need and requirement. And the search for that is reflected in the world that we live in because everything we do is a search for that. All religion, all apparent personal endeavor, is simply a seeking for this unknowing.

The search for enlightenment is to feel separate?

It is a search for not being separate. The seeker cannot see this, because this is timeless being – this is the eternal is-ness which is out of time, out of space, out of being achievable. So what we are trying to achieve can‟t be achieved because it is already all there is.

It‟s kind of hard to accept –that the spiritual search is no better, no higher, no more refined than a search for money, sex, power or whatever.

Absolutely all desire is ultimately the search to come home. And what is strange about this paradox, this mystery, is that everything that is being done – all seeking, all reaching out, and all personal endeavor, all building of churches and empires, is being-ness. It is pure aliveness. It‟s an amazingly strange paradox.

In some ancient Vedic text is there anything said about how that is, or why. I mean I know the „Bhagavad Gita‟ says that, it‟s an experiment …

No, there is no why and there is no experiment and no choice. The basis of traditional argument is that oneness chose to become two, and if oneness made a choice to become two, it could make a choice to become one again. It‟s a fairy story based on the illusion of time, cause and effect.

Nothing is ever chosen. The whole dream of choice and motivation is that there is something in time that can move forward with intention from a place called twoness to a place called oneness.

There never has been anything but being, and this is the eternal nothing and everything. It isn‟t going anywhere and it‟s never been anywhere. There is no anywhere. There is no time or space except in the appearance. There is nothing but this, and this is nothing happening.

And I see now that that question arises from the separate point of view so it is inherently unanswerable in a way. It is just an unanswerable question, because it is from the standpoint of separateness. For in the glimpse of wholeness there is no question at all. There is just an absence of any need to know anything because it just is. So then that question is just a loop that arises.

Yes, it is a loop and you are absolutely right, separation engenders the question „why‟ and the searching. And as you say, when there is no one there is no loop and there won‟t be any questions. There is no question and there are no answers. There is no knower and no known … and so there is no one to ask why.

But it is the most enticing question within that point of view.

Oh yes, it is, and being in separation loves asking why. And that fascination has generated religion. The question why in the seeker has generated Christianity, Buddhism, everything else that you could call a teaching of becoming that inevitably is based on the fundamental

misconception that there is a separate individual with choice and volition to follow a path, to be motivated to move from one state to another, better state, to seek and find the answer that has no question.

I recently learned an important lesson as I was on my way home and thought, “Oh I‟m so much looking forward to being at home” and I realized that I was actually tearing myself in two because I was saying by implication that my state in travelling was actually less than this nirvana of simply that. And I said, “Hang on; it‟s you here, stop giving yourself away for some future event.

Yes. But you didn‟t do that, it just happened. And looking forward is also beingness. The difficulty for the seeker is that they think they have to do something about their state or be in another state that frees them from the state they think they‟re in.

Nothing Being Everything Part II In the previous article, I raised the subject of searching for everything to find nothing. I point out that even in the most pure and noble spiritual search, it may be difficult to accept that it is neither better, nor more refined and advanced than the search for money, sex or power. This surprised many of my readers as they communicated this through their e-mails. My intention here is to shake up all concepts, reflect on just „being‟, experience oneness and focus on the problem of not living fully in the present. I have summarized the various questions as follows.

I hope that they help clarify your perspective.

There’s just awareness?

No, there‟s just being. Awareness happens, or doesn‟t happen, in being.

There’s just being. And you were talking about awareness as a sense.

Well my sense of awareness is that it‟s a transient state, or it‟s a place you can be in and out of.

It‟s still in the story.

Because I was just thinking that – when you were standing there – I was aware of your left side. I’m also aware that my shoulder’s a bit tense but nobody else in the room is aware of it.

No, that‟s not what I am saying.

So it’s as if we all have separate awareness.

Well yes, that seems to be so, and what I‟m suggesting is that all these things you‟ve just described are something that‟s simply happening. It‟s being tight shoulders or being my left side.

It doesn‟t need awareness for it to be, but the seeker thinks it does.

But what’s happening here is slightly different to what’s happening there.

What‟s also being suggested is that there isn‟t a “here” and “there”. It seems to the apparent entity that there is a location here and it seems as though there‟s a “here” and a “there”. There isn‟t a “here” and a “there” and those tight shoulders are simply being tight shoulders just as being this left side is being left side. It‟s all only beingness.

But it’s all lots of little different bits of information.

Yes it certainly seems different, but it is oneness being everything and therefore appearing to be different. All of it is simply oneness arising. All of it is simply being.

What do we do with all the bits of information coming at us all the time?

Nothing. There is no one that can do anything and there is nothing that needs to be done or known! There never has been anyone to do anything. The whole misconception that keeps us firmly in the sense of being separate is the idea that we can do anything or the idea that we need to do anything. Why do we need to do anything? There is just what‟s happening. It is all immaculately complete and without need.

So what should we be aware of then?

Nothing. Here you go again with the obligation of having to be aware, which is a transitory state.

There just is what‟s happening. The idea of being aware of something is a trap. Awareness needs another and is still in the story of dualism … there is no other.

But what’s happening changes; it changes from second to second. That’s not constant.

Yes. It certainly appears to change, but everything only seems to change or be different or apart from everything else. All of what happens is being apparently happening.

So where’s the constant?

The constant is being, and it is nowhere and everywhere. What‟s happening is being arising and moving around. And beingness is all there is.

And where am I in relation to what’s happening?

You aren‟t. There is no one. There is no relationship. All there is, is being and the idea of a “me” arises in being.

So, what is the value of knowing that?

None at all. There‟s absolutely nothing on offer here. There‟s no value, nothing is on offer. The most amazing thing that could arise from this is nothing. If you go out of here with something, then you‟re still someone with something. “I now have this. This is mine to do something with”.

If there‟s a real hearing of this it will be seen that there is nothing to get or know. There will just be apparently what‟s happening. There‟s nowhere to go. There‟s no goal. There‟s no carrot.

There‟s no prize. All there is, is this. But the difference between there just being what‟s happening and the sense that it‟s happening to you is immeasurable.

Manifesting Abundance There is so much talk about the credit crunch everywhere.....have you ever stopped to think that how all this hype is adding to what we are experiencing? We can talk it up or talk it down....we have a choice!

Every day I work closely with people who are stressed, anxious or in various states of dis-ease in their life and I have started to see a turn of the tide in their thinking lately. Instead of collapsing under the weight of the headlines, they are starting to see the benefits of the current economic situation. Some are seeing this as a chance to re-evaluate, reduce, restructure, and re-establish values focusing on a simpler more soul nourishing way of living.

Yet there is much talk about attracting the life ‘one dreams’ of and was born to live. And this too is possible. Manifesting is not about having the biggest bank balance, largest house or jazzy red sports car. It is about identifying and setting out to attract that which truly makes your heart sing.

This is what tells you that you are connecting with your soul’s wisdom. There is nothing wrong in pursuing material items, however just check-in with yourself as to WHY you want it in the first place. If it is to garner lots of envy and head-turning gazes then the chances are that you are not coming from a heart-soul connection.

So before we go any further let’s look at what manifesting is all about....

Here are some truths about manifesting anything, especially Abundance: Abundance is not about greed Money is not evil and having it does not make you bad Wanting something does not make you shallow or materialistic Living in a beautiful spacious house and a second or third, does not make you power hungry Having a nice car (or two) does not make you a better person than anyone else At any one time, there is enough of everything on this planet for everyone alive at that time You manifest what you focus on (like attracts like) this is true for anything you can think of......!

Having what you want does not mean that you are depriving someone else What is Manifesting abundance all about?

It is about welcoming, attracting and receiving that which is rightfully available to you in whatever form meets your needs and expectations. Most commonly, due to the marketing phenomenon movie/book called ‘The Secret’, this is viewed as attracting material status and greater comfort in life. In fact, if we look at this most powerful life enhancing gift from a wider perspective as can see that material wealth is only a small part of what I possible. We can manifest amazingly radiant health, deeper spiritual connection, more harmonious relationships, more time to enjoy our life, greater satisfaction in our career, more opportunities to creatively express our soul, and yes.....more of the ‘treats and toys’!

What is Abundance?

How do we measure our Abundance?

Generally abundance is seen as having enough to meet your needs easily. So what is enough?

Well, this will have a different answer for everyone, but generally knowing you have ‘enough’ is measured by the degree of effort it takes to sustain a comfortable living standard without causing extreme stress to do so. When you have ‘enough’ you are able to assuredly know that your bills

will be paid with a sum left over, that the relationships, career and all your endeavors give you just enough challenge to stop you getting bored and to keep your creativity going.

Do you suffer from Abundance Denial? Abundance Denial is a bit like poverty consciousness.

Your glass is always half empty rather than half full. You think everything is expensive without actually considering the intrinsic value it may have. Equally you may be suffering from Abundance Denial if you feel guilty for having more than others, of always worrying unnecessarily about money no need or feeling that you don’t deserve to live an easier life with enough to meet your needs.

Or do you live in Abundance Consciousness?

This is the state of mind that says ‘there is enough for everyone and I am going to claim my share’. A positive attitude is the key requirement for attracting an abundant lifestyle.

It takes a bit of practice however it yields great results quickly. So, what is it you really want?

How will it improve your life from this day forward?

Success in manifesting is easy and you can start right now! Here’s how!

How to Manifest: >Relax >Be receptive >Be specific – identify what you want and be clear >Be positive >Stay focused on the knowledge that what you desire is making its way to you right now > Imagine your life with the type of abundance you seek already in place and live to that ideal > Practice manifesting on a daily basis through visualization, mapping, affirming, and behavior >Recognize the signs of abundance coming your way >Welcome the changes >Remember everything happens for a reason and the road to what you desire may mean some growth on your part first! >What is meant for you; won’t pass you by! >Give thanks, gratitude and appreciation on a regular basis for what you receive and the lessons along the way! >You may want to ‘practice’ manifesting something simple to start with like a telephone call from someone you haven’t heard from in a while. Sit quietly and think of that person, see their face and hear their voice....focus on this for a few minutes each day for a week and inevitable within a relatively short time you will hear from that person in some form. It works that easily and if it can work for something as simple as this then it can work for anything because the infinite Universal source of everything does not know the different between something small and something much bigger!

Remember the golden rule though.....focus on what makes your heart sing and you can attract anything.

Rehearsing Life’s Experiences In this remarkable time of great transformation in the consciousness of the planet, those of us who are watching our thoughts closely are noticing a repeat performance of a particular theme. These kinds of thoughts coming to the surface and our awareness of them are detrimental to our future life experience. We need to become aware of our conditioned habit of "rehearsing" our imagined problems and challenges in advance in our minds, thus setting the stage for them to manifest in real life.

In fact, most of us are able to „witness‟ this as its happening inside our heads. As we monitor our thoughts more vigilantly, we can see that we are thinking about our projects failing, worrying that accidents may happen if not careful, or that we may get sick, and how overwhelming fears can easily manifest, and so on. We literally rehearse these scenes, over and over in our minds, without realizing how we may harm ourselves in the process.

Where these sabotaging thoughts come from is an interesting subject in itself. Some say that we carry them with us through our ancestry or our genetics; some blame the media saying they are the culprit; some suggest that we're being blasted with lower frequencies via technologies; while others attribute them to be sourced from an ancient mind thought sphere that has been active since the beginning of man and being negative in nature; feeds off of our negative emotions. Regardless of the source, however, we are ultimately the creators of our own lives. No one else can change our thoughts for us. If we are to stop creating unwanted experiences from coming into our lives, we must decide to take responsibility for ourselves and stop rehearsing for them, now.

So how do we do that exactly? Here are several things that we can do: 1.) Begin to rehearse positive outcomes instead. We do this by observing our negative rehearsals long enough to ask ourselves what exactly our intention was. Then, we make a new intention and begin to consciously rehearse an outcome that we truly desire.

2.) Surround ourselves with others who are staying awake to their own rehearsals. It is a great truth that the behavior of others in our presence tends to affect us. If we surround ourselves with negative dramatists, then we will court dramas. However, if we surround ourselves with positive thinkers, conscious people and meditative friends then we are more apt to create experiences that will give us the results that we are looking for.

3.) Cultivate an inner silence by spending some quiet time with your inner self every day; creating your own brand of meditation to get in touch with that „inner essence‟. Make the commitment to connect daily with the divine inner peace that is inside of us.

4.) When we regularly connect with the inner silence, this makes it easier to notice when we are rehearsing unwanted scenes beforehand creating the ability to stop our negative rehearsals in their tracks, before they gain momentum. It is then considerably easier to redirect our unwanted thoughts if we catch them right away and discipline ourselves to either return to our inner quiet,

or to immediately replace them by rehearsing positive outcomes that are more to our liking.

5.) Eventually you drop the need to rehearse at all!

It is my personal experience that whenever I have to give a lecture/ conference: I simply go inside and connect with that „essence‟ that flows with “what is” in every moment and whatever information is needed clearly comes through as we are always being guided every step of the way, as the Divine takes care of everything and Alexis has nothing to do with any of it!

How can this be possible? No rehearsals at all? Oh sure you may end up witnessing „fear‟ beforehand as that will always be there! Do observe it and then decide to flow in the moment anyway; trusting that all will be just as it needs to be. It is called „living in the present and being available to “what is” in the moment. Simply state your intention for presence, success, let go, have fun, and become a tourist. When it‟s time for your lecture, if you can truly surrender in trust, you won‟t miss a beat. You will see that all flows perfectly as you are available to “what is needed” in the moment instead of what your mind had already planned ahead for. Just try it to see that it actually is possible to experience a better outcome than if you had twenty rehearsals!

My Intention for today is: To be more aware of when I’m rehearsing my future experiences.

Beloveds, know that we are pure consciousness and all the rest is simple illusion!!

Who is Alexis?

Alexis is a Oneness Facilitator (transmitter of energy) called Oneness Experience which initiates a process of awakening the Divine Presence within you; taking you towards Oneness, and enabling you to see the reality of what you are in every moment. Also healing your body, your relationships, and recognizing the divinity in the experience of the present moment…. Conscious awakening is the ability to see reality as it is, without the layers of interference and interpretation imposed by the mind. Oneness Experience is a transfer of Divine energy which helps us to disidentify from conflict and suffering, taking us to states of inner peace, joy, happiness and Oneness.

Individual Private Sessions and Seminars

Besides giving individuals her undivided attention in private sessions, Alexis provides group courses that can last from one day up to a week, in sessions of three to seven hours. She uses techniques and group methods, and demonstrates with ease the ability to guide you into a state of deep peace and inner tranquility. People reconnect with their inner wisdom and learn to make decisions with awareness and increased levels of consciousness. For success in this it is necessary to understand completely, open and unblock one‟s energy centers (known as chakras), with an intention of expressing more positive attitudes which creates responsibility and increased leadership in both areas of work and family.

The most common results that you will obtain in a session are the following: -

Attaining a deep and tangible state of inner peace and tranquility.

Heal relationships that determine our day to day attitudes and emotions.

Increasing thoughts of health, wealth, wellbeing and happiness.

Transforming stress into harmony and union.

Achieve more efficiency and emotional stability.

Suffering and Enlightenment Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

For those of us that forget to value life, we are sometimes given lessons on appreciation when we find ourselves in very serious life situations. There are many stories written about that. Many have had near death experiences that have changed their lives. Do we actually have to live such dramatic situations to give a sense of value and happiness to our lives? I believe that if we raise our level of consciousness we can be reborn into the here and now to reach the harmony and happiness that we seek. A good place to begin can be in appreciating the simple beauty of the seemingly mundane things in our lives. Once one can see the value in those, it becomes such a pleasure to express gratitude for the more obvious gifts that life gives us. The following story is a bit long and it will take several deliveries so that you can read it all. But I promise that it is worthwhile. I think that the journey of Mellen-Thomas Benedict to the afterlife; written by him, can be very useful for all of us. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did and especially if it helps you to realize that everything we already have and experience is more than enough to be grateful for. Let’s live every moment as if it were the last moment of our lives!

Mellen-Thomas Benedict's Story: The Road to Death In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live. I had been an information freak in the 1970's, and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth.

So, since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had made a mistake, and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the planet. I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer, and that is what I got. That is what killed me. Be careful what your world view is. It can feed back on you, especially if it is a negative world view. I had a seriously negative one. That is what led me into my death. I tried all sorts of alternative healing methods, but nothing helped. So I determined that this was really just between me and God. I had never really faced God before, or even dealt with God. I was not into any kind of spirituality at the time, but I began a journey into learning about spirituality and alternative healing. I set out to do all the reading I could and bone up on the subject, because I did not want to be surprised on the other side. So I started reading on various religions and philosophies. They were all very interesting, and gave hope that there was something on the other side.

On the other hand, as a self-employed stained-glass artist at the time, I had no medical insurance whatsoever. So my life savings went overnight in testing. Then I was facing the medical profession without any kind of insurance. I did not want to have my family dragged down financially, so I determined to handle this myself. There was not constant pain, but there were black-outs. I got so that I would not dare to drive, and eventually I ended up in hospice care. I had my own personal hospice caretaker. I was very blessed by this angel who went through the last part of this with me. I lasted about eighteen months. I did not want to take a lot of drugs, since I wanted to be as conscious as possible. Then I experienced such pain that I had nothing but pain in my consciousness, luckily only for a few days at a time.

The Light of God I remember waking up one morning at home about 4:30 am, and I just knew that this was it. This was the day I was going to die. So I called a few friends and said goodbye. I woke up my hospice caretaker and told her. I had a private agreement with her that she would leave my dead body alone for six hours, since I had read that all kinds of interesting things happen when you die. I went back to sleep.

The next thing I remember is the beginning of a typical near-death experience. Suddenly I was fully aware and I was standing up, but my body was in the bed. There was this darkness around me. Being out of my body was even more vivid than ordinary experience. It was so vivid that I could see every room in the house, I could see the top of the house, I could see around the house, I could see under the house. There was this Light shining. I turned toward the Light. The Light was very similar to what many other people have described in their near-death experiences. It was so magnificent. It is tangible; you can feel it. It is alluring; you want to go to it like you would want to go to your ideal mother's or father's arms. As I began to move toward the Light, I knew intuitively that if I went to the Light, I would be dead. So as I was moving toward the Light I said, "Please wait a minute, just hold on a second here. I want to think about this; I would like to talk to you before I go."

To my surprise, the entire experience halted at that point. You are indeed in control of your neardeath experience. You are not on a roller coaster ride. So my request was honored and I had some conversations with the Light. The Light kept changing into different figures, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, mandalas, archetypal images and signs. I asked the Light, "What is going on here?

Please, Light, clarify yourself for me. I really want to know the reality of the situation." I cannot really say the exact words, because it was sort of telepathy.

The Light responded The information transferred to me was that your beliefs shape the kind of feedback you are getting before the Light. If you were a Buddhist or Catholic or Fundamentalist, you get a feedback loop of your own stuff. You have a chance to look at it and examine it, but most people do not. As the Light revealed itself to me, I became aware that what I was really seeing was our Higher Self matrix.

The only thing I can tell you is that it turned into a matrix, a mandala of human souls, and what I saw was that what we call our Higher Self in each of us is a matrix. It's also a conduit to the Source; each one of us comes directly, as a direct experience from the Source. We all have a Higher Self, or an Oversoul part of our being. It revealed itself to me in its truest energy form.

The only way I can really describe it is that the being of the Higher Self is more like a conduit. It did not look like that, but it is a direct connection to the Source that each and every one of us has.

We are directly connected to the Source.

Life’s salvation

Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

What do you think about Mellen-Thomas’ experience? Interesting, isn’t it? Most of us have had similar experiences in our hearts and we don’t necessarily have to emerge from them with pain. If we maintain a loving relationship with ourselves, and explore the inner depths of our being; we will see that this is not so difficult. If not, we find that we in fact learn thru suffering so that the most important things in life become clear to us. That is why I have committed to share the entire story of this incredible experience written by this very special man. Here you have the original story text: So the Light was showing me the Higher Self matrix. And it became very clear to me that all the Higher Selves are connected as one being, all humans are connected as one being, we are actually the same being, different aspects of the same being. It was not committed to one particular religion. So that is what was being fed back to me. And I saw this mandala of human souls. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I just went into it and, it was just over-whelming. It was like all the love you've every\ wanted, and it was the kind of Love that cures, heals, regenerates.

As I asked the Light to keep explaining, I understood what the Higher Self matrix is. We have a grid around the planet where all the Higher Selves are connected. This is like a great company, a next subtle level of energy around us, the spirit level, you might say. Then, after a couple of minutes, I asked for more clarification. I really wanted to know what the universe is about, and I was ready to go at that time. I said "I am ready, take me." Then the Light turned into the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen: a mandala of human souls on this planet.

Now I came to this with my negative view of what has happen on the planet. So as I asked the light to keep clarifying for me, I saw in this magnificent mandala how beautiful we all are in our essence, our core. We are the most beautiful creations. The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together is absolutely fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. I just cannot say enough about how it changed my opinion of human beings in that instant. I said, "Oh, God, I did not know how beautiful we are." At any level, high or low, in whatever shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation, you are. I was astonished to find that there was no evil in any soul. I said "How can this be?" The answer was that no soul was inherently evil. The terrible things that happened to people might make them do evil things, but their souls were not evil. What all people seek, what sustains them, is love, the Light told me. What distorts people is a lack of love.

The revelations coming from the Light seemed to go on and on, and then I asked the Light, "Does this mean that humankind will be saved?" Then, like a trumpet blast with a shower of spiraling lights, the Great Light spoke, saying, "Remember this and never forget; you save, redeem and

heal yourself. You always have. You always will. You were created with the power to do so from before the beginning of the world."

In that instant I realized even more. I realized that WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAVED, and we saved ourselves because we were designed to self-correct like the rest of God's universe. This is what the second coming is about. I thanked the Light of God with all my heart. The best thing I could come up with was these simple words of totally appreciation: "Oh dear God, dear Universe, dear Great Self, I love my Life."

The Light seemed to breathe me in even more deeply. It was as if the Light was completely absorbing me. The Love Light is, to this day, indescribable. I entered into another realm, more profound than the last, and became aware of something more, much more. It was an enormous stream of Light, vast and full, deep in the Heart of Life. I asked what this was.

The Light responded, "This is the RIVER OF LIFE. Drink of this manna water to your heart's content." So I did. I took one big drink and then another. To drink of Life Itself! I was in ecstasy.

Then the Light said, "You have a desire." The Light knew all about me, everything past, present and future. Yes!" I whispered.

I asked to see the rest of the Universe; beyond our solar system, beyond all human illusion. The Light then told me that I could go with the Stream. I did, and was carried through the Light at the end of the tunnel. I felt and heard a series of very soft sonic booms. What a rush!

The Void of Nothingness Suddenly, I seemed to be rocketing away from the planet on this stream of Life. I saw the earth fly away. The solar system, in its entire splendor, whizzed by and disappeared. At faster than light speed, I flew through the center of the galaxy, absorbing more knowledge as I went. I learned that this galaxy, and the entire Universe, is bursting with many different varieties of LIFE. I saw many worlds. The good news is that we are not alone in this Universe! As I rode this stream of consciousness through the center of the galaxy, the stream was expanding in awesome fractal waves of energy. The super clusters of galaxies with all their ancient wisdom flew by. At first I thought I was going somewhere; actually traveling. But then I realized that, as the stream was expanding, my own consciousness was also expanding to take in everything in the Universe! All creation passed by me. It was an unimaginable wonder! I truly was a Wonder Child; a babe in Wonderland!

It seemed as if all the creations in the Universe soared by me and vanished in a speck of Light.

Almost immediately, a second Light appeared. It came from all sides, and was so different; a Light made up of more than every frequency in the Universe. I felt and heard several velvety sonic booms again. My consciousness, or being, was expanding to interface with the entire Holographic Universe and more. As I passed into the second Light, the awareness came to me that I had just transcended the Truth. Those are the best words I have for it, but I will try to explain. As I passed into the second Light, I expanded beyond the First Light. I found myself in a profound stillness, beyond all silence. I could see or perceive FOREVER, beyond Infinity. I was in the Void.

How do you like the pace of the Mellen-Thomas reading? Have you ever had similar experiences? Next week we will continue with the next part of his experience, which will take us even deeper into the story.

IN THE EYE OF CREATION Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

The clinical death experience told by Mellen-Thomas Benedict and his return to life is not unique.

There are many persons throughout history that have shared their wonderful testimonials, and always with a divine light present. Other writers like Jack London, explains in "The vagabond of the stars", a series of similar experiences achieved through his dreams. Others reach these states through meditation. I can’t emphasize enough to all readers, that right now it is possible to have a simple oneness experience with the universe that will enable you to live in harmony with all that is. Let’s return to the text that we have chosen for this article and continue enjoying MellenThomas’s amazing story, but most of all let’s value life in the here and now. The story continues: I was in pre-creation, before the Big Bang. I had crossed over the beginning of time - the First Word - the First vibration. I was in the Eye of Creation. I felt as if I was touching the Face of God. It was not a religious feeling. Simply I was at one with Absolute Life and Consciousness.

When I say that I could see or perceive forever, I mean that I could experience all of creation generating itself. It was without beginning and without end. That's a mind-expanding thought, isn't it? Scientists perceive the Big Bang as a single event which created the Universe. I saw that the Big Bang is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating Universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would be those created by supercomputers using fractal geometry equations.

The ancients knew of this. They said Godhead periodically created new Universes by breathing out, and de-creating other Universes by breathing in. These epochs were called Yugas. Modern science called this the Big Bang. I was in absolute, pure consciousness. I could see or perceive all the Big Bangs or Yugas creating and de-creating themselves. Instantly I entered into them all simultaneously. I saw that each and every little piece of creation has the power to create. It is very difficult to try to explain this. I am still speechless about this.

It took me years after I returned to assimilate any words at all for the Void experience. I can tell you this now; the Void is less than nothing, yet more than everything that is! The Void is absolute zero; chaos forming all possibilities. It is Absolute Consciousness; much more than even Universal Intelligence.

Where is the Void? I know. The Void is inside and outside everything. You, right now even while you live, are always inside and outside the Void simultaneously. You don't have to go anywhere

or die to get there. The Void is the vacuum or nothingness between all physical manifestations.

The SPACE between atoms and their components.

Modern science has begun to study this space between everything. They call it Zero-point.

Whenever they try to measure it, their instruments go off the scale, or to infinity, so to speak.

They have no way, as of yet, to measure infinity accurately. There is more of the zero space in your own body and the Universe than anything else!

What mystics call the Void is not a void. It is so full of energy, a different kind of energy that has created everything that we are. Everything since the Big Bang is vibration, from the first Word, which is the first vibration. The biblical "I am" really has a question mark after it. "I am - What am I?" So creation is God exploring God's Self through every way imaginable, in an ongoing, infinite exploration through every one of us. Through every piece of hair on your head, through every leaf on every tree, through every atom, God is "exploring" God's Self, the great "I am". I began to see that everything that is, is the Self, literally, your Self, my Self. Everything is the great Self. That is why God knows even when a leaf falls. That is possible because wherever you are is the center of the universe. Wherever any atom is, that is the center of the universe. There is God in that, and God in the Void.

As I was exploring the Void and all the Yugas or creations, I was completely out of time and space as we know it. In this expanded state, I discovered that creation is about Absolute Pure Consciousness, or God, coming into the Experience of Life as we know it. The Void itself is devoid of experience. It is pre-life, before the first vibration. Godhead is about more than Life and Death. Therefore there is even more than Life and Death to experience in the Universe!

I was in the Void and I was aware of everything that had ever been created. It was like I was looking out of God's eyes. I had become God. Suddenly I wasn't me anymore. The only thing I can say, I was looking out of God's eyes. And suddenly I knew why every atom was, and I could see everything. The interesting point was that I went into the Void, I came back with this understanding that God is not there. God is here. That's what it is all about.

So this constant search of the human race to go out and find God ...God gave everything to us, everything is here - this is where it's at. And what we are into now is God's exploration of God through us. People are so busy trying to become God that they ought to realize that we are already God and God is becoming us. That's what it is really about.

When I realized this, I was finished with the Void, and wanted to return to this creation, or Yuga.

It just seemed like the natural thing to do. Then I suddenly came back through the second Light, or the Big Bang, hearing several more velvet booms. I rode the stream of consciousness back through all of creation, and what a ride it was! The super clusters of galaxies came through me with even more insights.

I passed through the center of our galaxy, which is a black hole. Black holes are the great processors or recyclers of the Universe. Do you know what is on the other side of a Black Hole?

We are; our galaxy; which has been reprocessed from another Universe. In its total energy configuration, the galaxy looked like a fantastic city of lights. All energy this side of the Big Bang is light. Every sub-atom, atom, star, planet, even consciousness itself is made of light and has a frequency and/or particle. Light is living stuff. Everything is made of light, even stones. So everything is alive. Everything is made from the Light of God; everything is very intelligent.

THE LIGHT OF LOVE Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

The Light Of Love As I rode the stream on and on, I could eventually see a huge Light coming. I knew it was the First Light; the Higher Self Light Matrix of our solar system. Then the entire solar system appeared in the Light, accompanied by one of those velvet booms. I saw that the solar system we live in is our larger, local body. This is our local body and we are much bigger than we imagine. I saw that the solar system is our body. I am a part of this, and the earth is this great created being that we are, and we are the part of it that knows that it is. But we are only that part of it. We are not everything, but we are that part of it that knows that it is.

I could see all the energy that this solar system generates, and it is an incredible light show! I could hear the Music of the Spheres. Our solar system, as do all celestial bodies, generates a unique matrix of light, sound and vibratory energies. Advanced civilizations from other star systems can spot life as we know it in the universe by the vibratory or energy matrix imprint. It is child's play. The earth's Wonder Child (human beings) make an abundance of sound right now, like children playing in the backyard of the universe.

I rode the stream directly into the center of the Light. I felt embraced by the Light as it took me in with its breath again, followed by another soft sonic boom.

I was in this great Light of Love with the stream of life flowing through me. I have to say again, it is the most loving, non-judgmental Light. It is the ideal parent for this Wonder Child.

"What now?" I wondered.

The Light explained to me that there is no death; we are immortal beings. We have already been alive forever! I realized that we are part of a natural living system that recycles itself endlessly. I was never told that I had to come back. I just knew that I would. It was only natural, from what I had seen.

I don't know how long I was with the Light, in human time. But there came a moment when I realized that all my questions had been answered and my return was near. When I say that all my questions were answered on the other side, I mean to say just that all my questions have been

answered. Every human has a different life and set of questions to explore. Some of our questions are Universal, but each of us is exploring this thing we call Life in our own unique way. So is every other form of life, from mountains to every leaf on every tree.

And that is very important to the rest of us in this Universe because it all contributes to the Big Picture, the fullness of Life. We are literally God exploring God's Self in an infinite Dance of Life. Your uniqueness enhances all of Life.

Return To Earth As I began my return to the life cycle, it never crossed my mind, nor was I told, that I would return to the same body. It just did not matter. I had complete trust in the Light and the Life process. As the stream merged with the great Light, I asked never to forget the revelations and the feelings of what I had learned on the other side. There was a "Yes". It felt like a kiss to my soul.

Then I was taken back through the Light into the vibratory realm again. The whole process reversed, with even more information being given to me. I came back home, and I was given lessons on the mechanics of reincarnation. I was given answers to all those little questions I had: "How does this work? How does that work?" I knew that I would be reincarnated. The earth is a great processor of energy, and individual consciousness evolves out of that into each one of us.

I thought of myself as a human for the first time, and I was happy to be that. From what I have seen, I would be happy to be an atom in this universe. An atom. So to be the human part of God ... this is the most fantastic blessing. It is a blessing beyond our wildest estimation of what blessing can be. For each and every one of us to be the human part of this experience is awesome, and magnificent. Each and every one of us, no matter where we are, screwed up or not, is a blessing to the planet, right where we are.

So I went through the reincarnation process expecting to be a baby somewhere. But I was given a lesson on how individual identity and consciousness evolve. So I reincarnated back into this body. I was so surprised when I opened my eyes. I do not know why, because I understood it, but it was still such a surprise to be back in this body, back in my room with someone looking over me crying her eyes out. It was my hospice caretaker. She had given up an hour and a half after finding me dead. She was sure I was dead; all the signs of death were there - I was getting stiff.

We do not know how long I was dead, but we do know that it was an hour and a half since I was found. She honored my wish to have my newly dead body left alone for a few hours as much as she could. We had an amplified stethoscope and many ways of checking out the vital functions of the body to see what was happening. She can verify that I really was dead. It was not a near-death experience. I experienced death itself for at least an hour and a half. She found me dead and checked the stethoscope, blood pressure and heart rate monitor for an hour and a half. Then I awakened and saw the light outside. I tried to get up to go to it, but I fell out of the bed. She heard a loud "clunk", ran in and found me on the floor. This story will continue next week.

THE RETURN TO LIFE Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

Have you been reflecting on Mellen-Thomas’s clinical death experience? Please stop and think for a moment what you would do if you only had one more week to live. The first question would be: Have you fulfilled all of your dreams, desires, and aspirations? Have you purchased all of the clothes that you wanted? And that vacation that you have dreamed so much about, why have not you taken it? You don’t have to question yourself anymore, as you can live the oneness experience right here and now, it’s only a matter of making the decision. Let’s now return to the experience of life and death that we have been reading during these weeks, to provoke all of us into reflection. Remembering that in the previous week’s articles, Mellen-Thomas died clinically and had an amazing experience while navigating the rivers of light. He then returned to life and these are his words: When I recovered, I was very surprised and yet very awed about what had happened to me. At first all the memory of the trip that I have now was not there. I kept slipping out of this world and kept asking, "Am I alive?" This world seemed more like a dream than that one. Within three days, I was feeling normal again, clearer, yet different than I had ever felt in my life. My memory of the journey came back later. I could see nothing wrong with any human being I had ever seen. Before that I was really judgmental. I thought a lot of people were really screwed up, in fact I thought that everybody was screwed up but me. But I got clear on all that.

About three months later a friend said I should get tested, so I went and got the scans and so forth.

I really felt good, so I was afraid of getting bad news. I remember the doctor at the clinic looking at the before and after scans, saying, "Well, there is nothing here now." I said, "Really, it must be a miracle?" He said "No, these things happen, they are called spontaneous remission." He acted very unimpressed. But here was a miracle, and I was impressed, even if no one else was.

Lessons Learned The mystery of life has very little to do with intelligence. The universe is not an intellectual process at all. The intellect is helpful; it is brilliant, but right now that is all we process with, instead of our hearts and the wiser part of ourselves.

The center of the earth is this great transmuter of energy, just as you see in pictures of our earth's magnetic field. That's our cycle, pulling reincarnated souls back in and through it again. A sign

that you are reaching human level is that you are beginning to evolve an individual consciousness.

The animals have a group soul, and they reincarnate in group souls. A deer is pretty much going to be a deer forever. But just being born a human, whether deformed or genius, shows that you are on the path to developing an individual consciousness. That is in itself part of the group consciousness called humanity.

I saw that races are personality clusters. Nations like France, Germany and China each have their own personality. Cities have personalities, their local group souls that attract certain people.

Families have group souls. Individual identity is evolving like branches of a fractal; the group soul explores in our individuality. The different questions that each of us has are very, very important. This is how Godhead is exploring God's Self - through you. So ask your questions, do your searching. You will find your Self and you will find God in that Self, because it is only the Self.

More than that, I began to see that each one of us humans are soul mates. We are part of the same soul fractaling out in many creative directions, but still the same. Now I look at every human being that I ever see, and I see a soul mate, my soul mate, the one I have always been looking for.

Beyond that, the greatest soul mate that you will ever have is yourself.

We are each both male and female. We experience this in the womb and we experience this in reincarnation states. If you are looking for that ultimate soul mate outside of yourself, you may never find it; it is not there. Just as God is not "there". God is here. Don't look "out there" for God. Look here for God. Look through your Self. Start having the greatest love affair you ever had ... with your Self. You will Love everything out of that.

I had a descent into what you might call hell, and it was very surprising. I did not see Satan or evil. My descent into hell was a descent into each person's customized human misery, ignorance, and darkness of not-knowing. It seemed like a miserable eternity. But each of the millions of souls around me had a little star of Light always available. But no one seemed to pay attention to it.

They were so consumed with their own grief, trauma and misery. But, after what seemed an eternity, I started calling out to that Light, like a child calling to a parent for help.

Then the Light opened up and formed a tunnel that came right to me and insulated me from all that fear and pain. That is what hell really is. So what we are doing is learning to hold hands, to come together. The doors of hell are open now. We are going to link up, hold hands, and walk out of hell together.

The Light came to me and turned into a huge golden Angel. I said, "Are you the angel of death?"

It expressed to me that it was my Oversoul, my Higher Self matrix, a super-ancient part of ourselves. Then I was taken to the Light.

"Soon our science will quantify spirit. Isn't that going to be wonderful? We are coming up with devices now that are sensitive to subtle energy or spirit energy. Physicists use these atomic colliders to smash atoms to see what they are made of. They have got it down to quarks and charm, and all that. Well, one day they are going to come down to the little thing that holds it all together, and they are going to have to call that ... God. With atomic colliders they are not only seeing what is in here, but they are creating particles. Thank God most of them are short-lived milliseconds and nanoseconds. We are just beginning to understand that we are creating too, as we go along. As I saw forever, I came to a realm in which there is a point where we pass all

knowledge and begin creating the next fractal, the next level. We have that power to create as we explore. And that is God expanding itself through us.

Dear ones, is it possible that in some of your own dreams, you may have experienced similar moments of which you maybe didn’t take seriously. All of us have the opportunity to create a new life by forgetting the past, the future and instead choosing to just live in the present.

You will have the chance to read the final part of this story next week. Because of its importance, I wanted to share it with all of you.

LIVING FOREVER Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He died extremely discouraged about the nuclear and ecology crisis on our planet. He was dead for over an hour and a half and during that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the Light.

Curious about the universe, he was taken far into the remote depths of existence, and even beyond, into the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang. Concerning Mellen's neardeath experience, Dr. Kenneth Ring, a professor at the University of Connecticut, remarked, "His story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in my extensive research on near-death experiences."

This is the last part of Mellen-Thomas’s death experience, written in his words and I wish to highlight that many subjects he speaks of may cause controversy among readers. He shares philosophy about life and death, divinity and religion, levels of consciousness and mind, among other things that he exposes. I could have omitted this part, but out of respect for the reader, I think that I should publish it just as it is: “Since my return I have experienced the Light spontaneously, and I have learned how to get to that space almost any time in my meditation. Each one of you can do this. You do not have to die to do this. It is within your equipment; you are wired for it already. The body is the most magnificent Light being there is. The body is a universe of incredible Light. Spirit is not pushing us to dissolve this body. That is not what is happening. Stop trying to become God; God is becoming you. Here and now.

The [little] mind is like a child running around the universe, demanding this and thinking it created the world. But I ask the mind: "What did your mother have to do with this?" That is the next level of spiritual awareness. Oh! my mother! All of a sudden you give up the ego, because you are not the only soul in the universe.

One of my questions to the Light was "What is Heaven?" I was given a tour of all the heavens that have been created: the Nirvanas, the Happy Hunting Grounds, all of them. I went through them. These are thought form creations that we have created. We don't really go to heaven; we are reprocessed. But whatever we created, we leave a part of ourselves there. It is real, but it is not all of the soul.

"I saw the Christian Heaven. We expect it to be a beautiful place, and you stand in front of the throne, worshipping forever. I tried it. It is boring! This is all we are going to do? It is childlike. I do not mean to offend anyone. Some heavens are very interesting, and some are very boring. I found the ancient ones to be more interesting, like the Native American ones, the Happy Hunting Grounds. The Egyptians have fantastic ones. It goes on and on. There are so many of them. In each of them there is a fractal that is your particular interpretation, unless you are part of the group soul that believes in only the God of a particular religion. Then you are very close, in the same ball park together. But even then, each is a little bit different. That is a part of yourself that you leave there. Death is about Life, not about Heaven.

"I asked God: "What is the best religion on the planet? Which one is right?" And Godhead said, with great love: "I don't care." That was incredible grace. What that meant was that we are the caring beings here. The Ultimate Godhead of all the stars tells us: "It does not matter what religion you are." They come and they go, they change. Buddhism has not been here forever, Catholicism has not been here forever, and they are all about to become more enlightened. More light is coming into all systems now. There is going to be a reformation in spirituality that is going to be just as dramatic as the Protestant Reformation. There will be lots of people fighting about it, one religion against the next, believing that only they are right. Everyone thinks they own God, the religions and philosophies, especially the religions, because they form big organizations around the philosophy. When Godhead said, "I don't care," I immediately understood that it is for us to care about. It is important, because we are the caring beings. It matters to us and that is where it is important. What you have is the energy equation in spirituality. Ultimate Godhead does not care if you are Protestant, Buddhist, or whatever. It is all a blooming facet of the whole. I wish that all religions would realize it and let each other be. It is not the end of each religion, but we are talking about the same God. Live and let live. Each has a different view. And it all adds up to the big picture; it is all important.

"I went over to the other side with a lot of fears about toxic waste, nuclear missiles, the population explosion, the rainforest. I came back loving every single problem. I love nuclear waste. I love the mushroom cloud; this is the holiest mandala that we have manifested to date, as an archetype. It, more than any religion or philosophy on Earth, brought us together all of a sudden, to a new level of consciousness. Knowing that maybe we can blow up the planet fifty times, or 500 times, we finally realize that maybe we are all here together now. For a period they had to keep setting off more bombs to get it in to us. Then we started saying, "we do not need this anymore." Now we are actually in a safer world than we have ever been in, and it is going to get safer. So I came back loving toxic waste, because it brought us together. These things are so big.

As Peter Russell might say, these problems are now "soul size." Do we have soul size answers?

YES! "The clearing of the rain forest will slow down, and in fifty years there will be more trees on the planet than in a long time. If you are into ecology, go for it; you are that part of the system that is becoming aware. Go for it with all your might, but do not be depressed. It is part of a larger thing.

Earth is in the process of domesticating itself. It is never again going to be as wild a place as it once was. There will be great wild places, reserves where nature thrives. Gardening and reserves will be the thing in the future. Population increase is getting very close to the optimal range of energy to cause a shift in consciousness. That shift in consciousness will change politics, money, energy.

"What happens when we dream? We are multi-dimensional beings. We can access that through lucid dreaming. In fact, this universe is God's dream. One of the things that I saw is that we humans are a speck on a planet that is a speck in a galaxy that is a speck. Those are giant systems out there, and we are in sort of an average system. But human beings are already legendary throughout the cosmos of consciousness. The little bitty human being of Earth/Gaia is legendary.

One of the things that we are legendary for is dreaming. We are legendary dreamers. In fact, the whole cosmos has been looking for the meaning of life, the meaning of it all. And it was the little dreamer who came up with the best answer ever. We dreamed it up. So dreams are important.

"After dying and coming back, I really respect life and death. In our DNA experiments we may have opened the door to a great secret. Soon we will be able to live as long as we want to live in this body. After living 150 years or so, there will be an intuitive soul sense that you will want to change channels. Living forever in one body is not as creative as reincarnation, as transferring

energy in this fantastic vortex of energy that we are in. We are actually going to see the wisdom of life and death, and enjoy it. As it is now, we have already been alive forever. This body that you are in has been alive forever. It comes from an unending stream of life, going back to the Big Bang and beyond. This body gives life to the next life, in dense and subtle energy. This body has been alive forever already."

"We are going to link up, hold hands, and walk out of hell together [in Love].

The Light came to me."

Awesome story, right? I think we can take it as experience to live fully here and now, to transform our lives into a new path of happiness and to make valid our power as full human beings. Let’s keep in touch until next week.

10 Ways to Raise Your Consciousness "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" - Marcel Proust

Below are some timeless tips that will help you raise your vibration to enhance your manifesting success and connect more to the radiant truth of your being and the bountiful nature of reality.

1. Take Responsibility As James Allen says, "Circumstance does not make a man, it reveals him to himself'. The more you take responsibility for your life, the more you are able to change it. Responsibility is freedom and empowerment. Become conscious of the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes that are creating your world. Take responsibility for them and choose those that serve you and your world.

2. Gratitude Gratitude opens your heart and connects you and aligns your vibration to that which you feel grateful for and as such attracts more of the same into your life. It is a way to give (in its appreciation) and receive (by the opening and expansion of that giving). The more you value and appreciate something, the more there will be to value and appreciate.

3. Trust Trust takes you towards happy desired outcomes in a magical, effortless way. Trust yourself and your power as a creator. Trust the universe and the gifts it wishes to bestow open you. Trust the doors that are opening and those that are closing. Relinquish control and allow yourself to be carried along the river of trust that will take you to your goals with grace and ease

4. Suspend judgment Judging others or yourself lowers and constricts your energy and separates you from love, truth and joy. It is a way of making yourself superior and above another by making them 'less than' or 'wrong'. It can be a way you deny your own self-judgments by projecting your guilt onto another. The more you love and accept yourself, the less you judge others. We all make mistakes. Seek to forgive, love and understand both the one you are tempted to judge and any potential shadows within you that they are reflecting.

5. Meditate

Meditation allows a calm and balanced perspective to be reached and negativity to wash away and dissipate. It creates a gateway through which you can access higher states of consciousness and connect to the love and wisdom of your Higher Self. Meditation returns you to a place of clarity, truth and peace and allows your energy to clear, align, balance and recharge.

6. Honor your emotions Honor your emotions and listen to what they are telling you about what's going on inside. If they are negative or uncomfortable what thoughts or beliefs are they pointing to that may need changing or aligning? Express and release your feelings rather than deny, repress, control or judge them. This doesn't mean wallowing in them or giving them undue attention if they do not serve you (i.e. nip that self-pity in the bud!), nor does it mean venting at someone inappropriately (writing a letter and burning it would be far 'cleaner'). Honour your emotions by accepting them and allowing them to be released.

7. Know you are loved You are loved totally and unconditionally by the source of creation. There is nothing you need do to win that love and nothing you can do to lose it. Becoming aware of this truth connects you to your inherent value, increases your sense of worth and deserving, heals pain of separation and loneliness and opens you to the love that is there for you in every moment.

8. Forgive yourself and others Forgiveness of self and others is the ultimate mind-body-soul detoxification. It liberates you from whole clusters of toxic emotions and sets you free from draining attachments. It can also set you free from feelings of guilt; shame and unworthiness that block you from happiness and success. In forgiving another you are also forgiving yourself. It is an immensely powerful force for healing and transformation and a most gracious gift you can give yourself and another.

9. Have fun Fun will attract success into your life like iron filings to a magnet. It is the antidote to stress, struggle, tediousness and seriousness. When you are having fun you are open and sharing of who you are and ride on the current of spontaneity and joy. What brings you fun, happiness and joy? Commit to more of it in all areas of your life!

10. Love, Love, Love!

Love yourself and others. There may be times this is easier than others, but make it your overriding intention. Love lies at the heart of all that you seek, and separation from it lies at the root of your troubles and pain. Let love be a guiding light in your life that will steer your ship through stormy waters back to the shore of truth, happiness and joy. We all love to love and be loved! It doesn't get better than that! It is the highest vibration there is. The more you love yourself and others, the happier, brighter and more successful your life will become.

Are you a Warrior or a Worryah?

"If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.

It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep."

People always ask me how I'm able to find something to write about nearly every week.

Sometimes the idea comes as a flash of insight out of the blue, but most weeks I find inspiration in my conversations with others, my own struggles to live a good life, inspiration I find on the web or in an email from a reader, and sometimes I get a fun idea while driving in my car. That's what happened yesterday. While on my way to an appointment, I passed a church with a sign announcing the topic of their Sunday sermon. It read: "Are you a Warrior or a Worryah?"

As soon as I saw the sign I chuckled and grabbed my phone to record the idea. Then, I spent the day thinking about ways to shift from being a Worryah to a Warrior. To be a Warrior means to take charge of your thinking, to choose to see opportunities instead of roadblocks, or to absolutely refuse to give in to your distressing mind. If, like me, you have a tendency to worry, here are four things you can do to stop yourself from spiraling down the drain: 1. Make a decision, right now, to become a Warrior. All positive change begins with a decision - a choice to rise up to a whole new way of being in the world. So, if you tend to be a Worryah, make a decision to take charge of the most powerful creative tool you own: your beautiful mind. Tell yourself: "I am the 'Master of My Mind' and I choose to think positive, life-affirming thoughts." Or make up your own version of Warrior speak.

2. Let your body lead. When you start to ruminate about something, catch yourself and immediately move your body in an outrageous way. I know, I know. This might sound a bit crazy, but stay with me. Do something wacky with your body. For example, if you have a tendency to worry when in bed (before going to sleep or upon waking), the minute you start thinking troublesome thoughts, you might:   

Go to the bathroom and make goofy faces in the mirror.

Sit up and shake your head from side to side while holding a big smile on your face.

Get up and start dancing a happy dance (if you share a bed with someone, please warn them ahead of time :)

The quickest way to shift your state of mind is to shift your body from the position it's in once

you start to worry. Try it and experience the magic for yourself.

3. See yourself as a Warrior. Take a few moments to find an image of yourself as a Warrior.

You might see yourself sitting stick straight on the back of a beautiful white horse, dressed like a king or queen, holding a golden sword, armed and ready to slice away at any worrisome thoughts. Or, you might imagine yourself as a big, majestic, bird that drops any negative thoughts into a cleansing lake where they're transformed into positive ones that allow you to feel strong, courageous, and resourceful. Then, see yourself flying back from the lake with a renewed determination to be an even stronger Warrior.

To find your own image, close your eyes, take several slow, deep breaths, and ask your subconscious mind to gently place an image in front of you. Go ahead. Do it now... When you find yourself worrying about something, focus on your image to return your mind to a more resourceful state.

4. Do something for someone else. Sometimes the fastest way to shift from "Worryah to Warrior" is to get out of your own head by giving support to someone else. I've had days when I've been strangled by worry and literally forgot what I was worrying about after spending time on the phone with someone who needed comfort, advice, or a listening ear. It always happens.

Being a Warrior for someone else will instantly make you a Warrior for yourself.

So how about it? Ready to make the shift? Let's go to battle fellow Warriors! Think great thoughts: I am empowered by everything...My life is a gorgeous reflection of Divine Wisdom...I touch the soul of everyone I meet...I am fearless...I am filled with great ideas...I love deeply...I can do anything...I believe in the power of good...I am a Master of My Mind!

Steps to Change your Life and Move Forward in Love If you are ready to change your past patterns and finally create a truly fulfilling relationship, you can take the following steps to begin the process of attracting love into your life.

BE AUTHENTIC: Once you are truthful with yourself about who you really are, and you allow yourself to live authentically, you greatly increase your probability of attracting and keeping harmonious partners. You don't have to be perfect before love can come into your life. You need only realize and accept that you are already the perfect lovable you. With consciousness and a willingness to observe your different personalities in action will help you recognize and understand your true nature and enable you to give yourself permission to live authentically.

TRUST YOURSELF: The key characteristic of people who are happy and successful is that they believe in themselves. And chances are they learned to believe in themselves - which means anyone can do the same. Wouldn't you rather be with someone who is self-confident and who enjoys life? It's a good bet that your partner will feel the same way. BECOME WHAT YOU LOVE: Develop in yourself the qualities that you desire in another person. Are you asking and expecting your partner to have qualities that you are afraid to develop in yourself? This type of inequality rarely creates a successful or harmonious partnership. Deep inside, most of us desire partners who are a better, more confident version of ourselves. The qualities that most people prefer in a companion are the qualities that reflect that person’s own positive nature. If we believe we are compassionate, friendly, and nice, we usually prefer those qualities in our mates as well. If we are healthy and active and enjoy life, we love to be with others who are healthy and active too.

If you are attracted to people who are self-confident and self-actualized, do you believe they would want to be with partners who are insecure? This doesn't mean you have to become strong and macho in order to attract a macho partner. It does mean, however, that such a person will probably desire someone who exhibits inner strength and self-confidence. Again, most of us desire to be with people who are the same as, or better than, ourselves.

TRUST YOUR INTUITION: If you learn to trust and follow your inner voice, you may end up being in the right place at the right time to meet the wonderful partner who is right for you, or you may sense how to create balance in your current relationship. Once you learn to have faith in yourself, you will also learn to listen to and trust your inner voice.

BE OPEN AND TRUST LOVE: Trust that you are a great person, and that if you are hurt in a relationship, you will survive to love again. Suffering the loss of love isn't pleasant - it can be downright painful - but it doesn't have to be the end of happiness forever. Allowing yourself to trust, to be open and available, to be willing to love and fully give yourself to another, will eventually give you the ultimate reward of true intimacy. There are so many wonderful people in the world who are ready to be in a happy relationship. Allow one of them into your life.

FACE YOUR FEARS: To remove the emotional blocks that may be preventing you from entering into a satisfying partnership, begin by identifying and then exploring what frightens you

in relationships. If you cannot face your fears and heal them, you will most likely bring them into your relationship.

REDEFINE YOURSELF: If you change how you define yourself and how you perceive yourself, you can change your relationship experiences. You may be limiting yourself by your definitions of who you are - weak, lonely, unhappy, inadequate, unhealthy, lazy, unlovable, uninteresting.

You don't have to stay the same throughout your life. You have the ability to choose your own thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors’. If others can succeed and be happy in life, so you can you. You can keep what you love and appreciate about yourself and let go of the rest. If you haven't examined and changed either your behavior or your perceptions and attitudes about yourself, then it may be time to do so - unless you are willing to attract the same type of unsatisfying relationships into your life; Believe that you can easily transform with consciousness.

KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY DESIRE: One of the most important steps in creating your ideal and most fulfilling relationship is to be honest with yourself about what you truly desire. If you are not sure what type of person you really want, and you have not fully considered the consequences of your choices, this may be why you have not yet created your ideal relationship.

Marching on together towards this destiny of Oneness Realize that these global changes are affecting us on so many levels that sometimes we may lose our center as we lose ourselves by getting identified with the physical. For example: when something is being taking from us, like a job that we no longer need because the Divine has something better planned for us on the horizon. Or being forced to let-go of a material item that we still believe that we cannot live without‌ and we end up missing the most important benefit of all! Noticing that these changes are all in our best interest even when we don’t think so in that moment! What we are really learning is how to continually step aside and surrender into trusting and allowing the divine to guide us.

We can also cultivate the art of listening and recognize how Grace comes to us daily, moment to moment, through coincidences, people, opportunities; responding and reaching out to us. It is continually helping us, healing us, uplifting us, empowering us and connecting us to it and each other. With a common vision and experience of Oneness, we become unified in a concern for all living things, realizing that we are all unique citizens of the world who are responsible for the preservation of the whole, this piece of heaven that we have been blessed with. In 2009, a year that has been full of changes, we must continue to learn how to embrace ourselves fully. So many are caught up in worrying about having to change, that they are thinking it better to hide themselves away until this wave passes. Know that this path of transformation is not such a path, but a divinely guided higher path in which we will embrace ourselves to be, and no longer focus on becoming. In order to do this, it is imperative that we we come from a place of knowing of where we are RIGHT NOW and NOT from where we wish to be as this fact allows us to grow and flower. Only from this place of accepting where we are presently; we are able to become less and less, surrendering to life, letting it express itself thru us, with its joy and love.

Life as most of us know it is a state of constant internal conflict--we experience separateness, divisiveness. We are driven by that conflict, by the pressure of thought. The mind engages in a continual inner dialogue that clouds our consciousness and prevents our senses from experiencing anything fully. It's as though everything our eyes see or our ears hear is clouded by the noise of thought and inner struggle. We are constricted in our sense of self and our experience of life. We lack balance. Our external world reflects that imbalance through struggle in relationships of all kinds--relationships with people, with our body, with money, with the environment.

What happens when we move towards a state of balance, towards Oneness? Our sense of self expands and we become more aligned with the nature of the universe itself. We return to a sense of order, to a state of balance in life. We begin to awaken to reality as it is, without the interference of the mind. When we can maintain that state we find that everything flows to us very naturally: health, wealth, happiness, love.

How do we achieve a state of Oneness? Our inner journey starts from where we are. By raising our level of consciousness with the help of Oneness Experience and applying new techniques in our lives, we become more and more aware of our inner state which gives us a greater opportunity to dissolve our inner conflict and awaken to life as it is.

This inward journey is in constant motion towards a state of Oneness--a state in which there is no resistance, no conflict, no suffering--a state of joy and peace. Oneness Experience releases limitations that inhibit your ability to live a meaningful life and relationships heal, which are responsible for dictating our emotions and attitudes on a day-to-day basis. The benefits also include breakthroughs in health, wealth and inner happiness.

Remember that the intent is Oneness. We must make the effort, and then the rest is up to Grace.

Know that the effort is in our hands. It is up to us. Transforming the world and bringing forth Oneness starts with ourselves. Don’t wait for something to happen as WE have the power in each one of us to start making it happen! Strive to grow and take proper action where one can. When you see that you have authentically put in your most honest effort, you will then be relaxed, and naturally surrender. Surrender to the moment, to yourself, to the peace of being whoever it is that you are, in each moment.

Life with Self Realization Have you ever seen the beauty of nature in full blossom; experiencing its very essence touching the depths of your soul with presence? Attempting to explain its beauty with words somehow doesn‟t do it justice. Seeing a photo can help but it‟s really something that one has to experience firsthand to enjoy the full benefit. It is similar when I attempt to describe an Awakening Oneness Experience using words as it somehow doesn‟t seem to hit the mark but I will anyway do my best.

Imagine a silent Multi Dimensional Consciousness with the rapture of full capacity awakened feeling and intuition. Like an ocean‟s wave that suddenly awakens into its full potential with a new ability to fully feel and experience as if it never before had the capacity and at the same time knowing that it was always one with all that is. If you are ready, I promise to also take you into this same breathtakingly mysterious and adorational pure consciousness that we already are through a Oneness Experience.

After a human being has this fortunate experience and continues living day to day in a Selfrealized state, the sensation of being the Absolute Itself slowly begins to fade away; it seemingly dissolves into the background.

It is quite an awakening when you suddenly come into that Absolute Awareness; that you actually are the Uncreated, or Unborn. It‟s like a brilliant explosion of white light which seemingly continues to flash, forever.. The echo of that initial flash keeps on coming back into your awareness forever and ever. Not that you literally keep flashing into It (which you may), but that deep, deep memory of It, remains. It remains in its own unfathomable, secretive, nature.

Next comes a state of bewilderment that overwhelms the human aspect of being as the sensation of „actually being‟ the Absolute begins to slowly fade away. One begins to become bewildered; it‟s kind of an “enlightened bewilderment.” After all, what could be said about becoming the Immortal and then forgetting that you are That!? Strange… How can you forget something that‟s not even in the mind? Yet, one finds that Consciousness – the impact of it in the mind, the residual effect that is left, the impression – slowly does fade. It eventually dissolves and at that point one can begin to move again into emotions; like maybe an angry enlightened bewilderment.

That may sound strange I know so let me explain.

It is as if that bewilderment re-invites the emotions back into life. In Self-realization the emotions were transcended. In a sense, there was nothing you could actually feel in that Self-realized state that would make a significant impact in your Awareness. As once the Self “fades,” then the identification with the Absolute dissolves. I want to explain this with clarity: it doesn‟t dissolve existentially; it doesn‟t dissolve in reality; only the sensation, the experience of It fades. Do you understand what I‟m trying to say? Only the experience of It fades.

The emotions are then set free in that vast silence, where they panic - the feelings panic because the nature of feeling is to want an object. Feeling always wants an object. Its nature is that; it‟s

beautiful, exquisite, relational nature. So it craves “the Other.” It craves the Beloved, which is in fact in that moment, the forgotten Beloved Self. But if existentially you are nothing but the Self, what can the feelings really do? Where can they go to find this “Other,” this Beloved?

The feelings begin to combust. It‟s really the introduction to a blissful and maddening state. Have you ever been in love? I mean, have you ever really been taken with someone? You know what happens! You can‟t get them out of your head. You can‟t get them out of your mind. It‟s just like the Absolute that you once experienced in nirvana and the processes leading up to nirvana – the whole process of glimpsing, re-glimpsing until you become the Glimpser. Now this whole thing gets re-enacted in the field of feeling. Feeling is craving the Supreme Beloved, the Adorable One. But, it‟s already in a non dual state (that was achieved in Self-realization, right?). I‟m going to keep going back and forth so please stay with me as the mind attempts to understand the experience.

The emotions begin to heat up, profoundly. It can be a discomforting state of aggravated feeling.

In fact, you could even say, that the essential aspects of every emotion are activated – anger, fear, sorrow – but in an awakened state.

The human being naturally begins to be turned on itself in a most enthralling manner. You‟ve felt deep sexual passion, deep sexual desire? It‟s like that. Only, where is it going to go? There‟s no “other.” So the feelings begin to really feel themselves for the very first time.
