An image is then chosen as the ‘foundation’ or base-layer of the collage, ready to begin the unification of collated imagery. By combining his own photography in the collage, he wishes to challenge visual perceptions about the ‘realness’ of the image after aggressive digital manipulation. Each finished piece (often containing 50 or more layers) then becomes a potential layer for newer works, thus allowing for a recycling or re-incarnation of the old with the new. Since this process has been going on for 5 years, his most recent pieces contain reconfigurations & transmutations of more than 900 layers of imagery, interwoven & remixed into a single image, which then becomes a new layer altogether, et al.

His first digital collage piece was ‘born’ on 11/11/08 in Miami, Florida whilst he was on an exchange program. When trying to come up with a title for the piece, the name ‘Jungle Eye’ instantly came to him. He later concluded that this title was a synonym for one’s 3rd eye. The 3rd eye (according to him) is the viewer & key to inter-dimensional vision, the light penetrator of the richest darkness & the knower of oneness in all things.

He seeks to convey the necessity of keeping a free-imagination for the ultimate experience of self-infinity.

This is the principle-philosophy that guides him through his work – that ALL things are connected, that we are all indeed ONE.

For a few years now I have been talking and writing about the Pluto-Uranus square. The two planetary giants have been and still are generating a potent crucible for change, through an interesting dynamic pull between authority gone wild and rebellion on fire, as they face off in the cardinal signs Capricorn and Aries.

psyches, individual and collective to the surface, like a puss-filled boil. It looks ugly at first, but eventually the boil pops, the inner poison is released and all becomes clearer than it was before. With the poison ejected from the system, all can begin anew, with the added bonus of the integrated knowledge of the experience. In this sense Pluto is about Death and Rebirth. Plutonian transformations are ultimately aboutpurification through a mechanism of intensification and expulsion of dark matter, both at the psychic and spiritual levels of being. In the best of cases, it is also about realigning the first ray of power with its true original creative and divine purpose: power not as abuse and manipulation, but as potency of directed will at the service of life affirming creation.

Pluto and Uranus have been coming together repeatedly during the past few years in a creative clash. Pluto, lord of the underworld, ruler of power and distortion healer, deeply transformative and foreboding energy, has been locking horns with the mold breaking and rebellious Uranus, a planet that creates change through sudden bursts of energy, breaking things apart, breaking away from the old and outmoded, and which acts like a lightning bolt, sudden and shocking.

Uranus the Grand Reality Breaker Pluto the Grand Intensifier Both these planets are about transformation, with their own unique style in imploding systems and revamping the status quo. Pluto intensifies energies, until the shadow aspects of being become so blatant, that they can no longer be denied. Under Pluto’s influence, issues intensify and magnify until they have to be dealt with, healed and resolved. It is particularly interested in bringing to light our relationship with will and power and all the uncomfortable things that we tuck away and hide. Pluto is the grand uncoverer and healer of the shadow aspects of self and being.

Plutonian energy brings the dirt of our

Uranus instead brings about transformation through breaking patterns, breaking energies, breaking stagnancies and injecting its own brand of new into the picture. Uranus often operates in very speedy and abrupt ways, in one swift and sometimes merciless instantaneous motion. It revitalizes systems by breaking them up and shocking them into new realities. It forces us to quickly shed whatever is old that keep us stuck. Uranian transformations are all about evolution, revolution and moving forward, fast. And about sudden and sometimes jolting jagged angles that birth the new.As Leonard Cohen says, we need the cracks, so the light can come in. Uranus is the cosmic crack maker through which creation bursts break through into being.

The combo of Plutonian and Uranian energy and their current clashing dance is life changing both at the personal and collective levels. For the past two to three years and for two more years to come we have and will continue to be cracked open, purged and reborn. Sometimes the process is fun, sometimes not, but it is definitely profound. A once in a life time rollercoaster ride, which we may even learn to enjoy, as more of our original light comes online with each shedding.

However the Pluto Uranus square will reconvene again in December 2014.

Alongside the cardinal crosses and squares, Neptune continues its journey into Pisces and Saturn its journey into Scorpio. Neptune is strong in its own sign, Pisces, giving healing and spiritual oversight over the whole process, but also helping us to release a lot of illusions and well as emotional grief. Maybe because Chiron, the wounded healer, is also in Pisces at this time, grief release seems to have been an ongoing theme for the past year or two, alongside all the intense challenges. Our inner waters are cleansing too: all the inner child pain, the pain of incarnation and separation, the pain of all hurts and traumas, all is emptying from the inner cups, so that they may be refilled with whatever we choose to create next, in our new cycle of being.

Saturn in Scorpio on Neptune in Scorpio -A generation faces self and takes spiritual responsibility Saturn is in Scorpio during this year and is an interesting energy for us to deal with too and especially for those of my generation who have Neptune in Scorpio natally. Many of my mid sixties-born contemporaries are currently experiencing a Saturn on Neptune transit, including myself. Saturn in Scorpio, especially when coupled with Neptune in Scorpio and twelfth house matters, seems to be about days of reckoning, tough spiritual love, spiritual discipline, getting to the core of the growth process, beyond fluff and glamor and into the real nitty-gritty of what it means to be spirit and love in

action.

Saturn/Neptune in Scorpio combined are about a spirituality that is not just in words, but which includes taking responsibility for all actions/ intent present and past and cleaning them up.. It’s about no nonsense spirituality. Even old fashioned notions, such as repentance and forgiveness, may be up for processing at this time.

We have been conditioned lately via new age teachings to feel that there is no place for remorse and guilt in our growth process. And while these are very negative energies to hold onto beyond a few moments, they do serve a purpose. Their purpose is to alert us as to when we have dropped of our own soul’s path and drifted from our true north, both as far as our own selves and personal direction, as well as far as the way in which we treat others. If the people behind Monsanto experienced guilt , they could not do what they do. Their conscience would not allow it. And this is why one of the elite’s yearly rituals is the Cremation of Care.

Empathy, caring and the guilt/shame emotional feedback loop resulting from service to self deeds at the detriment of others would make it otherwise impossible to act in non-life aligned ways. To be truly a service to self being therefore care needs to be sacrificed.

One of the signature traits of narcissism and psychopathy is the lack of care and feedback loops such as remorse. There is therefore a place for feeling bad about stuff, it’s called having a conscience.

And if one listens to that conscience, and self corrects, one can quickly release the feeling bad factor and begin anew.

Saturn in Scorpio is all about unearthing the shadow deeds from the vaults of time and from the Akashic records both, so that they can be seen, owned, released and healed. Owing the shadow deeds is not about self-punishment, but about breaking out of denial and accepting responsibility in a way that leads to true change. As you can see this is a time of dramatic purging for all.

The Galactic Solar Shift and The First Wave Astrology aside, this is also a pivotal time in the Galactic-Solar Shift. It seems that the process that many refer to as ascension, the process via which we have the opportunity to shift in consciousness to other dimensional planes of experience, has not only been gathering momentum, but has began its first wave of opening and closing of doorways. Much information has been coming through in the past few weeks about the fact that we are indeed in the process of getting on a bus to somewhere energetically new and that during the next few years there will be many doorways and windows opening, allowing for further new reality bridging. Doorways to new awareness and new levels of being within ourselves and the way we experience the world.

There are many vibrational levels on which we can exist and many Earths corresponding to each level, each on its own vibrational plane. As we shift higher in vibration, we lock with other higher vibrat12 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

ing Earth realities. And once our vibrations stabilize we permanently lock into and anchor into a dominant experience of being. It’s not the new Earth that is here, but rather it is us that have arrived at a inner vibrational threshold which opens the gateways to a new experience of the same Earth on a different dimensional plane.

For the past few years we have been wobbling between different dimensional realities of Earth experience, as we also wobble between different dimensional realities of our own inner being, blinking in and out of high consciousness. As we rise and stabilize into the high vibrational streams (and clearing and releasing of baggage is required to achieve this), we are docking into the new realities in more stable ways.

Walking through the doorways occurs when our new permanent energetic anchor point shifts to the higher vibrating Earth and we leave the old realities behind. We can still see them, but our inner experience resides elsewhere. Eventually, some years from now, I am shown that we will move off the node. At that point, the different Earth realities will begin to truly separate. We will not only be fully anchored in a different experience, but we will also be vibrationally separated to the point that we won’t even be able to witness what has been left behind.

I have been shown that there are seven waves of doorway crossing of which the first one is now completed. If you have crossed this energy threshold, you may actually know this intuitively, as things will look the same but feel different.

The first group of Souls has crossed, but there will be six more opportunities for groups of Souls to follow, until we exit the nodal point between realities. This all sounds very far fetched, I know, but this is what myself and other people I am connected to see.

So, as usual, hold your hats, as its going to be a fast and exhilarating ride… go with what presents itself, don’t fight it and you may end up enjoying the process, as the potential for big shifts is huge for those who dare to shed it all ….

The good news about this transition is that manifestation and synchronicities are also accelerating for those that are successfully participating in this process.

It seems that the new Earth reality, or should we say the higher vibrational consciousness that allows access to it, is a place in which consciousness and manifestation move much faster and more effectively than we are used to, provided that we are clear about what we are doing and shadow free. This is also one of the reasons for which we have been guided to clear our stuff exceptionally well, as you do not really want to land in this zone, manifesting a bunch of blockages and darkness. Not that this is possible anyway. If on the other hand you have not yet crossed into this zone all the way and are still blinking in and out, this is a time to do your Soul homework.

Clean up your stuff, karma present and past. The energies are very supportive of all clean up operations at this time.

Sometimes, if we like it or not ;-)

Challenges

By Ellen Angelica Pendergast

14 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

To challenge someone, let’s say in a duel, means that you are being called upon to show ‘who you are;’ and in that sense, life’s challenges are just that…. only with life challenges, we are called upon to display who we Really Are….

The capitalization of those two words, “Really and Are,” basically mean our Real Self…our Divine, Higher Self; some call it a Soul…some call it “God” in physical form. Whatever the name, we are referring to that True Self; the Divinity that we Really Are. A challenge, therefore is nothing more than an opportunity to show US that part of Self we often are not even aware of, unless we are…For to Experience ourselves in our God-State, or what some may refer to as our “Christed Self,” or Christ Consciousness is truly what we are ‘up to.’ And that is because our pure and only Real aspect of who we are is…A Spirit Having A Human Experience.

As challenges may come along, and as we are incarnated as a Human Being, we get to decide what we wish to be in relation to that challenge, with the ultimate goal: to choose and decide to Be that Divine Self, that which some call Love. To be Loving at all times is what a Master is, for a Master sees all the world as aspects of his True Self, for in reality, there is only One Being sitting here….and we are all part of that Oneness, called God. Therefore, a Master never ‘curses the darkness,’ for he/she knows that it is all Sacred, all Divine, and

that fear and darkness are but illusions; they, and other life experiences and challenges, are sent to himself by himself, to define Self.

For when it finally comes to what we are doing here, we are living a life that is filled with ‘challenges,’ which are really only opportunities in disguise, to help us experience, “Who We Really Are,” and all life’s events are based on our perspective of that Holy Perception….for when you know who you Really Are, and live that, you then experience Heaven….

And that Nivana, that Holy Place sought by all, is truly in our “One Mind,” which is always with us, and is always……..

Creating Sacred Space

By Bobbie Stuart

“ To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” ~Lao Tzu

we selected our large family room. The room had an orderly ambience but absolutely no uplifting qualities.

Life becomes cluttered. Ideas, situations and difficulties swirl our minds into a chaotic mess. Thoughts run rampant, feelings ooze forth, and mind won’t focus. The earth, body, spirit, connection gets lost. We find ourselves in a state of confusion, desperately trying to find clarity and a state of equanimity.

In order to change the feeling, the aura and vibrations of the space into a resonant holy environment we truly had some work to do. Using an existing multi-use space for sacred purposes seemed a challenge but later revealed itself as a gift in teaching us the process of transformation. We consciously transfigured strident energies to create a highly viA walk in nature, talking to a friend, or brating and inviting sacred space. listening to mellow music can provide some relief.

Prayerful, reverent, inspiring feelings rise up within us as we silently do our daily practice in the highly charged environment. It fills us with peaceful harmonious vibrations resonating at a higher energy than when we entered the common space.

Daily we transform our space from mundane to mystical. We create a portal for the ever-present Divine to shine through.

We become spiritually nourished within the palpable stillness; we can touch the Holy. Layer upon layer of internal concerns melt away as we absorb the spacious quietude.

Create this for yourself. Sacred space is essential for clarity and healing. Be it a closet or living room, provide yourself with a resident temple of your own inspiration. Receive your guidance and intuition, basking in the light of God. Make each moment an occasion to live deeply, happily in peace. Bless us all!

Spiritual Growth Checkpoint:

Earth Day is Ever y Day!

By Sherri Cortland

Here we are on planet Earth, a planet we very much wanted to be on at this time in history, and an appropriate question to ask ourselves is this: are we doing everything we can to help our planet? After all, looking after the health and well-being our planet is part of our job as Lightworkers.

Let’s talk Earth Day. April 22, 1970, was the first Earth Day ever, and I was twelve years old and in seventh grade. Even at that young age, I remember thinking how exciting it was to have a day to celebrate the Earth. There were lots and lots of people making posters and talking about it at Clarkstown Junior High School, and as I recall my girl scout troup formed a clean-up crew to get out there and make a difference for our planet in our little

town of Congers, New York.

That was forty-three years ago, and the creation of Earth Day marked the beginning of the environmental movement. It was founded by then Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson in response to the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the student anti-war movement that was happening at the time. Nelson’s idea was to combine the energy and focus of the students with the emerging public consciousness about pollution in order to inspire all of the existing conservation groups to work together. It worked, and the first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.

21 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

Speaking from a metaphysical point of view, it makes perfect sense that Earth Day was created during a time when a wave of Lightworkers, commonly known then as Hippies, were working hard to change systems and paradigms that were standing in the way of the evolution of the human race. Earth Day was a radical idea in 1970. The idea of raising our vibrational levels and becoming 5th dimensional human beings is a radical idea today. All change starts somewhere, and here on Earth, it starts with a collective commitment to make the human race and planet Earth better, stronger, and something more than ever before.

We’re here on Earth because we have work to do, and there are many things we can do to help our planet in addition to pumping out positive energy on a daily basis; watching our thoughts, words, and actions; and focusing on the here and now. In fact, to celebrate Earth Day 2014, why not create a mindset and intention of doing at least one nice thing for our planet every single day? And here’s a list of ten ideas to help motivate us to do just that: 1. Re-use gift bags and wrapping paper.

I’ve been doing this for many years now, and sometimes, I’ll even use holiday paper for birthdays. No one has complained about it yet!

in the store for a dollar or two apiece at garage sales and lots of other great bargains. Garage sales save space in our landfills. If you have a lot of stuff, and you don’t want to have a garage sale, invite your friends over to take what they want or donate it to a charitable organization.

3. Buy re-useable bags for your groceries. When my husband, Ted, and I first started to do this several years ago, we got a lot of strange looks from the cashiers at the grocery store. Now nearly every store we shop at sells reusable cloth bags.

4. If you buy bottled water, switch to a brand that uses recycled plastic in its bottles. Better yet, get a permanent water bottle and keep it filled with filtered water or even tap water. I started doing this several years ago with plain old tap water.

5. Run as many errands as possible in one trip. I do everything that has to be done on one side of the road first, and then hit everything on the other side on the way back. Bundle errands by geographic location, and you’ll save time and gas.

6. Recycle your old cell phones. If they go to the dump, they stay there for years as their batteries exude toxic substances into the landfill. Lots of great organizations are looking for cell phones; try do2. Shop at garage and yard sales and nating them to groups that help battered have a garage or yard sale. I’ve found women. “cat trees” that go for $300 in catalogs for $10, planters that would cost $20-30 22 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

8. Don’t throw away paper if you can use the back of it as scrap paper. I’ve been known to cut 8 ½” x 11” “scrap paper in half or quarters, and staple 20-30 pieces together to make mini-scrap pads.

9. Use a mug at work instead of Styrofoam. I hate washing my mug. I really do, but when I think about the benefit to the planet of cutting back on Styrofoam, I’m happy to rinse it out.

10. Use cotton swabs with a paperboard spindle. According to a website called Fifty Ways to Help the Planet (http:// www.50waystohelp.com), “Some brands of cotton swabs have a paperboard spindle while others are made of plastic. If 10% of U.S. households switched to a paperboard spindle, the petroleum energy saved per year would be equivalent to over 150,000 gallons of gasoline.” I’ve already made the switch.

7. Stop using plastic containers. Switch to re-useable containers. My friend, Sue Brennan, brings re-usable containers with her when we go out to eat—so much better than taking leftovers home in a Styrofoam container.

Happy Earth Day and cheers to you for all you do to help our beautiful planet every day of the year!

Virgo Moon

by Dr. Michael Lennox

Art by Maryam Morrison https://www.facebook.com/maryammarts 25 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

The Virgo Moon is getting ready to oppose the Pisces Sun in what is possibly the most important Full Moon of each year. The Virgo/Pisces polarity is about bringing heaven on earth and the connection of Body (Virgo) to Spirit (Pisces). Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is the archetype of the infinite field of pure potential that we create our lives from. Virgo is the energy that knows how to turn that energy into form.

This Full Moon helps us know that same intelligence as a part of ourselves.

The Full Moon is exact at 10:07am PDT on Sunday morning (for those of you overseas, that’s 5:00pm in London and 7:07pm in Pretoria. For those of you down under, the exact moment in Sydney is in the wee hours of Monday morning at 4:07am) but once the Moon is in Virgo (which it is now), we are building toward the vibration in earnest, making this entire weekend filled with lunar power. The essence of all Full Moons relates to the harvest, where we get to reap the benefit of all the work we’ve been putting in to expanding our consciousness. But remember that part of the crop we yield is that which is left behind; the chaff and other inedible materials. In keeping with the farming metaphor, this excess substance is cast off and ultimately decomposes into nutrients that fertilize the next crop.

Such is the way with the things in consciousness that we leave behind.

The patterns we let go of, the resentments we drop and the forgiveness we engage in all allow for this natural

progression to occur. What we release today feeds what we sew tomorrow.

There are a number of Mercury calibrations that are part of this Full Moon.

Mercury is still wrapping up his retrograde cycle, so there is a direct connection with this lunation and the insights and integrations that occurred by virtue of him making those triple transits that happen every time he goes retrograde.

His is just days away from being in his free and clear period where there is no retrograde in sight for several months.

Today’s aspects are the very last ones that will hearken back to things that came up in late January and February.

Look for issues that came up in the past seven weeks to be wrapping up now.

Mercury will Trine the North Node and Sextile the South Node. This is a transit that helps us process the past in order to move into the future. The Nodes are an opposition that represents our past and our future, our Kharma and Dharma. This aspect divides that opposition into two easily digestible parts, with an energy that allows us to productively understand the stuff we are moving away from (a Sextile to the South Node) and easily move toward the new future we are creating (a Trine to the North Node).

This Full Moon can absolutely reveal a great deal about what the past few months have allowed you to uncover, discover and discard. Just don’t try too hard to figure it out and let the wisdom reveal itself to you.

There is a slightly less intense Mercury aspect Sunday as well, a Semi-Square to Pluto. A Semi-Square is a mild conflict or obstacle that may come up and with Pluto being the object of Mercury’s affection, the issue may be one of authority. If you are still looking outside for the source of your power, this transit will make you very uncomfortable until you pull focus back where it belongs; on yourself.

About an hour after the exact moment of the Full Moon, the Sun will Inconjunct Mars who is freshly turned inward in his retrograde status. This is a fork in the road aspect that allows something to be carved off your consciousness and dropped along the way. Intend to let go of what no longer serves you today and this aspect will help you do so. The intense activity of Mercury almost guarantees that what you release will have something to do with thought patterns or communication issues (like that difficult conversation that it is finally time to have).

The Virgo Moon is always benefited by anything that would fall under the auspices of “process.” And since Virgo rules the physical body in motion, anything that gets your body moving would be an ideal way to begin to prepare for receive the energy of this Full Moon. Take a walk, do some yoga, go on your favorite hike, exercise vigorously. Get your body going and let your Mind take the weekend off. In fact, I wouldn’t devote any of your time to figuring out what you are releasing as much as I would set the intention to release what is ready to be dropped and then go for a long run. The body (and the sign of Virgo) knows what to do without our help.

This is also one way that this Full Moon may occur for you.

Grace

and Purity

of Heart

An Excerpt from Shiva Speaks by Rashmi Khilnani

I wish for you to be ordinary in your extraordinariness and make it okay to be extraordinary within thesimple, peaceful ordinariness of your being.

As I keep saying, don’t take things too literally, come out of themind and feel the energy of my teaching in your heart, which is beyond words.

28 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

Babaji: Let it be known that, no matter how deeply you master the wisdom of Cosmic Consciousness on the path toward enlightenment, this is ultimately not the greatest supreme truth; it is the truth of divine consciousness. By this I mean that all things are subject to impurity once they move out of the unmanifest realm into being manifest reality. Many of you have asked yourselves and each other as to how, even though I am Maha Avatar, I was still subject to disease and early death of my 1970/80’s body as Haidakhan Baba. Many of the greatest saints and enlightened beings on earth have passed over through diseases like heart attacks and cancer, and I was no exception.

This is because, as I have just clarified to you, even the divine Avataric energy, when stepped down into the physical realm in a physical body, is to a certain extent subject to the laws of 3rd dimensionality, the laws of the relative.

I wish for you now, my beloved children, to aim for the highest spiritual attainment, which is beyond a deep esoteric understanding of cosmic consciousness (though it contains this knowledge and experiential wisdom). Intend to become one with the divine truth, which has its home in the unmanifest, in supreme silence, in the great void, and in divine mystery and can be accessed in deep meditation, transcendental states, and mystical experience. Ask for the grace of these celestial boons. This illumination and wisdom cannot be commanded and demanded but can be achieved through

grace, prayer, wholehearted devotion to the divine, and wholehearted service to all everywhere. Keep moving on the spiritual path from the lower truth to higher truth, until you come to that place deep within you, one that is silent, that is peaceful, and that is pure beingness and beyond judgment. As you progress, keep letting go of the many impurities that get stuck to the so-called religious and spiritual paths and “isms.” For example, if you are preaching compassion while being selfish and unaware of your own energy and where it is stuck in impurity, then you are deluding yourself that you are a compassionate person.

It is important for my people to “walk their talk.” As I keep telling you, impeccability of thought, word, and deed will bring great grace into your life right now. To follow half-baked spiritual leaders and mediocrity will no longer serve you and will only increase your suffering.

I require for you to be wholehearted. Halfheartedness falls short. When you are half-hearted about something, you create half a space in your being for ignorance and negativity to come through into your being and latch on to you. Remember when you fool yourself, this leads to the greatest misery of all. There is no point in continuing to be a hypocrite. There is no point in talking about peace and having thoughts of war, hate, and distrust. If you say that you are open-minded and openhearted, make sure that you begin to match these energies in thought, word, and deed.

29 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

Once you become simple and release the shadow through recognizing it, releasing judgment and forgiving yourself, you become the light, you become peace, and you are supreme silence. This allows great energy, synchronicity, and flow to enter and a letting go or a falling away of struggle, blame, shame, and victimhood.

Weed your garden of all dishonesty within yourself—be it mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual.

when a particular entity moves from unity consciousness and love to delusions of grandeur, separateness, and control. I wish for you to be ordinary in your extraordinariness and make it okay to be extraordinary within the simple, peaceful ordinariness of your being. As I keep saying, don’t take things too literally, come out of the mind and feel the energy of my teaching in your heart which is beyond words.

The time of Kali is here now. The goddess Kali will destroy all dishonesty, mental filth, prejudice, insincerity, and greed. If you are compromised by the darkness, you have a very good chance of catching the disease of ignorance and of totally dimming the light of the spiritual knowingness within you. Why choose the depths of such a hell of negative consciousness and darkness when peace, love, truth, and simplicity are your intrinsic inner nature and are flourishing in the Age of Aquarius—the time to wake up to the Satya Yuga frequencies. It is time now to let go of your identification with your name, your nationality, and all the other assorted labels that have been given to you from outside sources. You are a cosmic being and becoming and ultimately you are pristine, divine, silent, omniscient, pure potentiality— the unmanifest.

Ask for the grace to be helped where you are stuck.

But, also remember, dear ones: the siddhis (magical abilities) are not granted by the divine to those who will misuse power and act solely and wholly from the agenda of the ego-oriented psyche. The divine will take away these celestial gifts 30 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

As you know dear ones, Universal law is paradoxical and therefore quite humorous. Yes, you as humanity are in a totally free-will zone where the Creator allows you to choose, and the law of cause and effect give you the fruits of those choices. As I have said before, it is time for you to take total responsibility for the choices you make consciously and subconsciously and to stop pointing the finger. The paradox, of the law of free will on earth, is the law that to totally become one with divine truth within and without, one is eventually required to totally surrender the will of one’s ego to the divine will within.

Ultimately, the divine plan and the plan of your divine self within—let’s call it your soul’s agenda—are one. The ego usually has a very different scheme.

True Divinity can only be accomplished through surrendering to the divine within and without as I have just said. Basically the energy of divine will is far greater than the energy of the will of the ego.

You know this intellectually and yet you do not follow this wisdom. It is okay to allow your personality/ego self its unique flavor and its individual stance as long as at the core, the divine will is your equalizer, overriding influence on all levels at all times.

This helps to purify the ego self and helps it to move away from separation, limitation, and control toward a wondrous flowering of an unique individuality arising from within the innate wisdom of the oneness, the organic wholeness, and the non-separation of all people, places, ideas, and energies. I wish for you as warriors of awareness to be alert, to be aware, to be ready and to be totally flexible moment to moment. The new world is at your doorstep. Prepare for the dawning of an age of great love, light, and unity.

the unequal distribution of wealth on this planet, the deep suffering that arises from ignorance, the problems of ecological pollution, and the conflicts that lead to war on Earth.

There are many that do not believe that war will end on Earth here now, and yet millions are waking up to a higher vibration, a greater sense of trusting in an exponential evolution, the quantum leap to a higher vibration and the paradigm of peace and heaven on earth.

Babaji: My dearest Rashmi and my darling humanity, I love you all dearly as I have said: I am in your every breath. I feel your every pain and all the joy of your hearts, individually and collectively.

Let it be known though, that this obsession with the dark will become increasingly difficult to practice as a wave of supreme light consciousness sweeps your third dimensional reality, and transforms it into the eternal newness of the Unified field of Oneness.

No matter how many miracles occur in your life and how many mystically experiences you may enjoy, I want you to remember the silence and the simplicity of who you be. No matter how much spirituality you attain, remember that if you become too egotistical about it, you will lose these states of being and fall from grace.

Total grace demands total purity and simplicity of the heart that sees the oneness in the diversity and serves this oneness steadfastly at all times and on all levels.

Only such a one of pristine impeccability will go through the eye of the needle and be able to walk through the cleansing fire and overcome the storms and earth-birth changes of Mahakranti. Let us go into the silence now, let us become one in this silence together, let us merge into the ocean of oneness and from this merging, and let us become nothing, nowhere— just pure beingness, supreme bliss, and supreme ecstasy. All is one.

The vastness of this sadness resembles to the Ocean that separates the continents and embraces the islands.

Our non-acknowledged life does not resemble to a huge, steeped in grief island.

Our eternity was erased beyond the clouds of vanity and arrogance .

Many times I bleed my wings in this Ocean of Sadness, as the wind shoves me over the huge waves whereas I am released.

When the wings being exhausted by the winds and flows, a force attracts me closer to the sad song of the Ocean .

Deep within it the crying of Nereides, the tear of the Sirens, the pain of the Fairies, and mourning of the Dolphins hidden resides.

“Oh God, how could you let so many beings fall into the nets of the enemies ?”

Did you offer us as a gift to the Minotaurs, to sate their appetite ?

We are the sacrificed Iphigenia to blow the wind in its sails of Earthly freedom.

We were brought as treasures by our Parents, Cosmic Beings from distant stars to drip our Light within grief.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LIFE COACH AND RELATIONSHIP ADVISOR

Dr. Barry Hammer 41 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

I (Dr. Barry Hammer) can help you explore any kind of interpersonal relationship issue, including marriage and family relationships, or enhancing other kinds of significant personal relationships. I can also help you gain insight in regard to any kind of vocational, psychological, spiritual, creative, or societal, issue that may be important to you, e.g., clarifying your basic goals in life, actualizing your natural individual potentials, enhancing your level of creative functioning, coping with difficult life crises, helping bring out the best in other individuals, and contributing to positive social transformation through your career, volunteer work, personal life, and so on. I will show you how to deal effectively with the necessary challenges of life that one has to face.

In addition to providing advising dealing with issues pertaining to enhancing one’s own personal relationships and individual life, I am also able to provide advising for issues related to contributing to the positive transformation of contemporary society. This involves understanding how the synergistic/co-creative power of true love or genuine warmhearted caring can gradually, constructively, transform individual human beings and the collective heart of humanity, from a predominantly selfish, fearful, abusive, predatory, addictive, toxic, orientation, to a more unselfish, compassionate, relaxed, secure, wholesome, orientation.

My Credentials: I have an interdisciplinary PhD in Religious Studies/Spirituality, with an emphasis in the related History of World Civilizations, and have also taken extensive graduate level coursework and supervised practicums in Psychology and Counseling. This background, along with my many years of serious reflection and my lifelong association with my beloved late father, Dr. Max Hammer (a highly distinguished psychotherapist and professor of clinical psychology) have enabled me to develop many liberating insights into the process of psychological and spiritual transformation, and its applicability to enhancing human relationships.

In my relationship advising services, I will help you learn how to develop open, honest, compassionate, respectful, nonjudgmental (non-blaming), meaningful, communication with other individuals, as a way of producing greater levels of mutual empathic understanding, constructive conflict resolution, and co-creative transformational empowerment, in your personal relationships. I can also help you understand how connecting to other individuals, in unselfish, deeply caring, relationships, can enable you to tap into a regenerative level of life energy, for enhanced vitality, psychological transformation, spiritual growth, optimal wellbeing, creative inspiration, as well I have many years of experience in life as holistic healing of heart, mind, and coaching/relationship advising, and am body. a contributing author of the following two books: 42 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

OPENING YOUR EYES TO THE RADIANT BEAUTY SACRED DUTY and OPPORTUNITY Based on excerpts from “The Impeccable Warrior of Light” book

By Peace Mother Geeta Sacred Song

To understand our Highest Destiny, we must comprehend our role here on Earth and the Sacred Duty that walking on this Radiant Jewel entails. We are here to live as Impeccable Warriors of Light. The sacred assignment we committed to when we agreed to incarnate on the Blue Jewel was to utilize everything around us to become Impeccable Warriors of Light.

Our Planet is considered a Radiant Jewel within the many Galaxies and Universes.

The Wise Ones, The Impeccable Warriors of Light, are absolutely aware of the Grand Honor it is to take birth on the Beauty-full Flowering Earth.

The Saints, Sages and Masters of Light have revealed in countless scriptures and Teachings that it is not easy to be granted a birth on Mother Earth, as there is a long list of souls waiting in line for a

chance to re-embody here. Innumerable factors must come together in the most Perfect way for an Earth re-incarnation to be granted. It may take hundreds or thousands of years for that window of Opportunity to present itself and when it does the soul celebrates!

If we don’t recognize this fact and cannot appreciate Mother Earth’s innumerable Gifts and the abundant Divine sustenance available to us at all times, it is only due to layers of dark energies that cause ignorance of our Sacred Duty. Our Sacred Duty is to Appreciate, be Greatfull, to see the Blessing in every lesson... and be fully committed to mastering our assignment here. By being totally present, we are able to perceive and receive the Divine gifts that are All-Ways being bestowed upon us.

45 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ April 2014

We cannot be fully grounded and present if our Attention and Energies are concentrated on escape from the Mother Earth plane. This is a symptom of Shamanic Amnesia: forgetting our Divine Essence and Divine Assignment to walk on Mother Earth as Impeccable Warriors of Light.

Many sensitive beings are negatively impacted by their Earth adventures and become focused on suicide, or adopt the attitude that they refuse to re-incarnate on the Blue Jewel Realm ever again.

This is an erroneous perspective, sponsored by forces that are hostile towards the Light. These destructive forces are thoroughly intent on driving these Good people off the Mother Planet before their destined time of departure. Impeccable Warriors of Light do not listen to such malicious energies. Instead, Impeccable Warriors of Light keep their energetic field clean and pure by utilizing Sacred Sound, Healing Mantras, Shamanic practices such as smudging and working with the Shaman’s Rattle. By clearing any destructive energy from their body, space and possessions, they maintain their energy field at the Highest level.

This is an Excellent arena that grants us the Profound Opportunity to master immense Spiritual Principles such as Forgiveness, Compassion, Courage Strength, Universal Love, Self Love, Balance and un-wavering Devotion to the Light…while being surrounded by conditions which can plunge us into an abyss of illusion.

Even while being aware of the suffering that takes place here, we do not have to become depressed, bitter or constant wailers about “the terrible Earth conditions.” The refinement of the Golden Virtues allows us to advance as Spiritual beings to an elevated state of Wisdom Consciousness that Supports Appreciation of our time on Beloved Mother Earth.

When we realize how many souls in the spirit world wish they could reincarnate on Planet Earth, we can perceive Life on the Radiant Jewel as a Supreme Blessing, rather than a curse. our Life experiences on Planet Earth are Golden Jewels that grant Great Wisdom if you pay close Attention. Life on Madre Tierra is THE testing ground for our soul, and an Immense Opportunity to purify the karmic seeds we have planted and reenforced over so many Lifetimes. It is a Golden Chance to recognize and transform the many samskaras, negative psychic impressions we are carrying within us.

The True Reality is that all situations, all experiences, both seemingly Good and seemingly negative are custom-designed to move you towards EnLightenment. They are all an Opportunity to gain Self Awareness, Self Love, Self Respect and Self Balance.

When someone is not in resistance… when their Wisdom is established within, they are constantly flooded with Appreciation for the factors and forces that customized the perfect classroom and perfect lessons that resulted in Awakening to their Divine Essence.

The lessons we extract from each conflict constitute the Honor badges, medals of Courage and Wisdom staffs we earn and are awarded by the Forces of Light.

May you All Ways remember that your Sacred Duty is to refine the Spiritual weapons Spirit has given you for the purpose of upholding the Spiritual Laws. When you live in this expanded Consciousness you will experience being the master of your own Destiny and victim of none.

The reward of devoting your energies to IMPECCABLE, GOLDEN ATTENTION and INTENTION is the Soul-Satisfaction that comes from savoring your Pilgrimage on Mother Earth as a Sacred Being of Light.

When we can fully accept that which is gifted to us…when we can identify the Blessing in every occurrence...we live in Joy and Reverence as an ecstatic being.

Spirit’s Perfection is in BOTH the challenges and rewards that appear before us. By walking through Life with this conviction, we are able to full-fill our Sacred Duty, which is to praise and EnJoy Life to the Highest degree.

My Beloved Children, “I am flowing in the ripples of joy as I greet you. Today I will share with you a pathway to your heart where you will be able to explore in greater depth your divine nature.

The quest to fill what the heart seemed to long for, would lead you on a great adventure, a journey of remembering the truth of what is and always has been your truth.

Imagine if you will what it feels like to be loved as you are in this very moment, nothing to fix in order to be loved, no weight to shift, no degree to obtain, doesn’t matter the size of your bank account.

The Sacred Pause Tucson, Arizona 52 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ February 2014

ons, zations e Sacred Pause

by Hoda Mousa

Emotions are our keys to evolving into higher consciousness and to understanding our purpose. They provide us the ability to create our world and manifest our highest desires. Accepting our emotions allows us to learn who we are and take responsibility for the events occurring in our inner and outer worlds.

Emotions generate feelings, which allow us to understand our identity and soul signature. It is the key to allowing new energy to infuse, awaken and recharge us. We need emotion to connect us to our spiritual self and it is essential to understanding our inner spirituality. The mental and physical body are linked, as are the emotional and spiritual body.

The spiritual body exists beyond physical limitations and allows us to comprehend the non-physical world.

Most human beings are afraid of feeling their emotions and exert great effort to suppress them. We must be mindful of our feelings and permit them to flow, without resistance. When we sit with ANY feeling that comes up, it will pass within 90 seconds, IF we don’t get caught up in the story. When we are not afraid of feeling, and move past judgment, we ALLOW ourself to understand all the ways we feel. This provides us a tremendous breakthrough, because we will be able to ride our feelings into other realities and accelerate our growth as individuals.

The denial of self and our emotions affects the social fabric of society. Denial of self keeps souls from true love for themselves, which does not allow true love to manifest around them.

53 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

It keeps souls from their lessons, therefore not reaching their highest potential and claiming their true mission here on earth. Denial of self keeps us from authentically knowing what needs to be healed within ourselves, in order to take those nuggets of wisdom forward. By expanding ourselves, we empower others, and make room for them. We must align our soul, mind, body, and spirit in order to master our emotions. Emotions are the expression of perception.

We must trust ourselves and our feelings. We need our emotions and must become friends with them, for they allow us to climb the 12 chakra system where we connect with our multi-dimensional selves. Through feelings, we can assess what is really going on in our lives. They grant us the ability to live in our heart, and register frequency change, where as the logical mind is unable to do so.

Our emotions and feelings connect us to humanity and are the keys to living in this reality. We can choose our feelings and be mindful of our vibrations. Are they LOVE or fear vibrations? Are they creating the life our heart desires?

So how do we change from a negative to positive vibration? First we must be aware that it is not the goal to rid ourselves of our emotions. If you are feeling a negative emotion, permit yourself to call in the opposite counterpart. For example, if you are sad, imagine how it would be to feel joy and stay in the bliss feeling until it becomes real. It all starts with mindfulness where we become aware of our thoughts, triggers 54 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ April 2014

and reactions to the outside world. We are then able to see how our patterns manifest in our reality. It is the ability to engage in the SACRED PAUSE. The sacred pause allows us to practice inner peace and the opportunity to forgive ourself, and others in every moment, over and over again. It is the ability to live without judgment.

The Sacred Pause is the moment where you inhale back to the NOW. To experience this, start by inhaling peace and exhaling stress. When you create this pause through this breathing technique, you expand your capacity to stop the mental chatter, and allow yourself to hear your higher guidance. Ask yourself, what is true in this moment? What is really going on? Am I being triggered by an event from the past? Watch for clues from your body. For example, heat rising, anxiety and the inability to sit still.

Are your thoughts racing? Is the monkey mind active? Breathe to calm your mind and go for a walk in nature. From there, ask yourself, will I choose to respond to whatever is coming up in the same way I always have or will I choose empowerment? Will I choose to react with love and compassion or from a place of impulse? We tend to respond to situations, emotions and individuals from a place of conditioned fear. These are our patterns that we learned in our childhood to cope with our environment, and as adults, we impulsively act them out.

Being that these patterns of emotional drama are learned, they can therefore be unlearned. We are the MASTERS of our emotions.

When we embrace our emotions and feelings, transformation will take place.

Beauty and JOY will infuse our inner and outer worlds. We are each a light which guides our way. It is always imperative to walk in light and love, and to teach by example, for we are the new teachers of the ancient ways.

Exercise: One way to become friends with your feelings and transmute them is through reflective journaling. Reflective journaling is the ability to take ALL thoughts, emotions and sensations from our mind, into our heart, down our arms and channeling them through our hands onto paper. This engaging exercise is cathartic in nature and allows us to creatively become aware of the “stories” in our mind. It gives us the ability to review and release what is truly happening in our inner world, allowing us an opportunity to reframe our perception.

Visualize yourself in an etheric egg of white light upon rising- see it all around your body filling every cell of your being. Take a moment to breathe deeply, inhaling peace and releasing worry.

When any emotion or thought comes up, mindfully be aware of it and welcome it. Grab a journal and list your feelings, your thoughts, ideas, any impulses or patterns that may be coming up. Don’t worry about how silly they may sound and allow no judgement.

From there, request your higher power to assist in transmuting the energy and

to help fill you with inner love. Finish the exercise with deep breathing and give gratitude to yourself for engaging in this practice. Do this exercise daily or even a few times a day, especially when you are feeling emotional. It will soon become a habit of mindfulness, therefore creating more inner peace in your life.

See the false as false, the true as true.

Look into your heart.
