Jim Self: A Course in Mastering Alchemy

For more than four decades the book and self-study program A Course in Miracles have been regarded by countless spiritual seekers as a beloved New Age Bible, offering a roadmap to human transformation.

Now, a new book was

Omtimes.com

published that is being likened to A Course in Miracles for the 21st Century. It’s claimed to reach far beyond that earlier system by incorporating a significant leap in human consciousness that has been occurring since the 1980s and all with the active participation of a group of beings collectively know as The Teachers of Light. This book is called A Course in Mastering Alchemy: Tools to Shift, Transform and Descend. And with me, today to share how it is like and unlike A Course in Miracles and what it promises to help you achieve in your life is an international teacher, author, speaker and founder of Mastering Alchemy Jim Self.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Jim Self, you’ve been leading seminars and teaching healing clairvoyance, personal imaging management courses for more than 30 years. Since its creation in 2001, thousands of people have used Mastering Alchemy to transform their lives. And now for the first time, you’ve condensed much of that information into a book which offers open access to

huge chunks of consciousnessaltering personal energy tools and lessons. Why would you do that? Why would you give away many of the secrets of Mastering Alchemy for a fraction of the price of your course?

Jim Self: Because they told us to - simple answer. You know, when we started, and I began all of this, in the conversations with the archangelic way back in the early 2003 period time basically, one of the things Uriel said to me if you’re going to be the scribe. At the time he said that my body just kind of tensed up and was like, wait, no, you don’t understand, I don’t write things.

So, you know, and I could feel him smile and kind of laugh, and we went on.

The program has been so successful regarding both giving people opportunities to basically recognize themselves change the scripting that they’ve been given by mom, dad, teacher, minister and the structure of the third dimension and begin to see how they can observe the world that they’re engaged in. That they many times are not comfortable

Omtimes.com

with and take a different position in engaging with the world. And the program was designed in the context that, when that happens, you begin to see things considerably different. Just your normal walking around space begins to be different.

But, this is the transformational information that they wanted, and so it’s not so much about giving away as if it’s some program that we own. It really is about providing information, to people that can choose a different configuration in going forward in their spiritual life, in their standing up and taking responsibility and driving a fifth-dimensional reality into a reality rather than sitting by and watching what’s going on right now.

Sandie Sedgbeer: You’re known as someone who manages to live in both the material third-dimensional world and within the higher realms of consciousness. You successfully combine your work as a businessman and entrepreneur with your work as a spiritual teacher. But, how

Omtimes.com

easy is it really to switch from communicating with archangels to communicating with accountants?

Jim Self: If you asked me that question years ago, it would have been a challenge. I mean, I like many people didn’t fit into the world, and yet I’ve always had this voice and this inner guidance that, every time I listen to it, it works. So, it’s been a challenge for many, again, going through life. But, at this point, looking back, my purpose and the path that I’ve been on is really clear. Navigating roles regarding building businesses, communication, figuring out strategies, dealing with the politics, all those things were part of the script. And now it’s something where there’s a bigger role to play, and those experiences have been extremely valuable in allowing me to understand how to communicate and create.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Many have been looking forward to this time as the dawn of a new Golden Era. But now we’re in the thick of it, it’s looking anything but Golden - climate

change, political and economic stability, war, violence, hatred, kids taking guns to school, sexual abuse, politicians, and presidents behaving like spoiled, uncontrolled children. What is happening to humanity?

Where is the love? Where is the compassion?

Jim Self: It’s actually really simple, but it’s not an easy experience. You’ve heard me say in the course Mastering Alchemy, we talk a lot, and one of the real key things they say is you cannot take your baggage with you on this journey. So, all that internal I’m not okay, I don’t deserve, I’m not attractive, I don’t fit, I’m a stupid person, inner aspects of each one of us, you can’t take that. And where there are anger and resentment and imposition and greed and control and domination, you can’t take that with you.

So, what you’re really watching is all the internal realities of humanity, which creates the external realities, all coming out. It’s all bubbling out on the surface. It’s very disconcerting.

On the one hand, there’s an

aspect we can talk about in a little bit. There are some phenomenal things about love that are occurring, but right now, it’s all about you can’t take your baggage. And that’s, again, why we made Mastering Alchemy, the course Mastering Alchemy public because it’s here, do this, what happens, here are the tools, kind of follow this scenario and notice what happens because the spiritual folks, the ones who are listening to this program, you are so vital to the transition of whether it goes one way or the other. But, it is not an easy road, and it is not a free lunch.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Where’s the human race heading?

Jim Self: That’s a big question because it is not the place where, and a lot of times spiritual people get really upset with me.

There’s a sense that, oh, I’m a spiritual person, and this is going to be this wonderful nirvana, and I think kind thoughts.

You’re going to be in for a rude awakening in this transition.

One of the things that are happening, this is going to be very hard to hear for people,

Omtimes.com

but humanity is going through a shift just like the time where Neanderthals became homo sapiens, this is a shift in human consciousness, this is a shift in the creation of a new human species. I’m about to give a whole bunch of lectures on this. It’s an evolution, and this evolution is going to take us into aspects of realms of consciousness that are unimaginable from many different places. It’s going to take us into a place where--many we have been talking about it started out being referenced as the New Earth, a New Earth is being created, and people thought it was a planet.

It’s really strata of consciousness.

You’re going to have a stratum of wellbeing right alongside kind of earth that has war. And the strata that have this new level of consciousness is going to be able to see, to an extent, that old paradigm. But, the old paradigm’s not going to be able to see the new constructs.

You’re going to see things that are not imaginable regarding time is going to fragment. It is going to begin to have different

Omtimes.com

characteristics to it.

And so, we’ve been preparing people for that for a long time, talking about you can’t live in your past and your future, you only live now. And when you begin to--and the book touches on this a little bit. We touch much more of it on the course.

But, time, present time, there’s five different configurations of the present time.

That gets a little complicated for this conversation, but this concept of linear time, past, present, future and you die, is what third dimension and most walking around people believe are absolute. It is not. And when you begin to recognize time as an application, the ability to begin to alter your reality on your terms becomes considerably more manageable.

Sandie Sedgbeer: So, a course in Mastering Alchemy is your preparation for this?

Jim Self: Absolutely, everybody’s preparation for what’s in the process of happening.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Sure. So,

how is like and unlike A Course in Miracles?

Jim Self: You know, I’m personally not completely ready to be making that claim because Course in Miracles was such a spectacular contribution. The archangelics have said this is the expansion of that, so I’m just going to accept that statement on the face.

But, what happens here is this is very much a how-to, whereas A Course in Miracles basically said this is how; this is what’s happening, and this is how it works in a manner of ways.

But, there wasn’t substance regarding doing this, what happened.

The course in Mastering Alchemy is really kind of broken into three parts, and the first part is directed at tools. And as you begin to master some simple concepts, the concepts are just concepts that nobody’s ever told you in the past.

They’re not some major new aha. It’s like finding the center of your head and staying there

and observing, being in present time, opening up the heart. It is starting to recognize the vibration within you that you might label as a reference and then observe from it, begin to be this experience rather than talk about some experience that will come to you in the future. That I think is the difference.

Sandie Sedgbeer: The book claims to be more than the words on the page, that energetics are embedded into each chapter and that readers will be able to feel the teacher’s presence and wisdom as they read the text. How can you support that?

Jim Self: For me, that’s one of the easier claims, but it is one of the spectacular claims.

In teaching the course in Mastering Alchemy, the way it was structured, I would have a conversation. We decided to record these, and so we had a wonderful person named Joan Walker channel the communication between me and Yahshua or Metatron or whomever it might be, and we designed the class, the next session. And my job was

Omtimes.com

to step the energy down and put it into understandable vibrational patterns.

We are still using the words in the course, the transcripts, the recordings today that were done some years ago, but they were structured so that, as you hear them, whether you heard them a year ago or right now, the energetics and the information are in present time.

I listen to it, and I come away with many times a different set of awarenesss. And it wasn’t that the old awareness wasn’t right. The old awareness is not in present time as much, or the old awareness has now been absorbed into the ethers and people are doing what was kind of guided, and here is the next application of this piece of information.

So, the energetics are very much in present time. The course is designed, the information is designed to feel this experience, not think this experience. And that’s one of the big transitions from the third-dimensional think space to a feeling space.

The third dimension is very

Omtimes.com

much thought emotional. This space is very much heartfelt understanding feelings - two very different structures of learning and knowing.

Sandie Sedgbeer: You talked a little earlier about evolution, where we’re going. We hear a lot of talk about ascension. Are the two the same thing?

Jim Self: Yes, they are. What happens, though, that word ascension has been kind of glorified and animated, and it’s kind of been put out there or put on a pedestal or something someday. But, it’s evolution, it is all the time. And so, using the word evolving into this space and basically laying out a roadmap for how it happens and then participating in the process of the roadmap, you find at the end of the day, you’re in a very different place than you were when you started in the morning.

And that evolution is taking you into this concept called ascension, but ascension is not well understood as I have watched people understand it

over the years.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Jim self, you had a relationship with the archangels and ascended masters and Lords of light. I know that more than half the population believes in angels, but I’m sure there’s a huge gap between believing in them and believing that anyone can have a two-way dialogue with them.

So, tell us a little bit about how your communication with these beings proceeds.

Jim Self: Well, it starts as simple as a little kid dragging a blanket.

And that’s that space where that little kid keeps that spiritual alignment in place. And then over a short period of time, the mom, dad, teacher, minister come into the mix and say I have a better idea than you do. And because we come here to have the experience of the experience, we let the blankie fall away.

And in my reality, it never fell away, and it was confusing on one end, and it was very comfortable on the other. That alignment is still very much in everybody’s space. The key

comment I just made is we move away. The nature of your own spirituality doesn’t ever leave the heart. It is always there. We move away.

Sandie Sedgbeer: I think part of the challenges that people get frightened of anything to do with spirituality because they don’t understand the terminology. You have a very good way of demystifying many of these concepts that are hard to grasp. What is a living light body, and why would I want one?

Jim Self: Oh, that’s a great question. So, let’s say your intention is your ascension, and let’s say your ascension really involves you beginning to have access to levels of consciousness that you can’t perceive from the limitations of the third dimensional walking around space. Let’s just say you wish to know God or creator or source or begin to have an awareness that in fact, at those other levels, you can hold out your hand and the apple appears. That’s not magic.

That’s how that upper level of consciousness works, the creative

Omtimes.com

process understanding the tools.

So, for example, we refer to the mental body and the emotional body. Before the fall of consciousness, which is a fabulous story, the mental and emotional body was one.

You would have a thought, and you would bring emotion into it that would support the thought. In the third dimension, you see something, it makes you angry, and the emotion overwhelms you, or many people see something, and they go right into the emotion and then say I’m angry. It’s an unmanaged space.

So, you begin in the second half of the book to start to recognize how to put yourself back together, how to use some of the tools in the upper consciousness - the raise of creation, for example, the color codes.

But, the light body is, as you begin to know yourself and step into those higher aspects of multi-dimensionality, there are configurations of energetics that allow you to begin to integrate

Omtimes.com

yourself into those levels of consciousness. So, for example, you know you have something called Meridian System. Well, what is that? Well, the Meridian System is the interface between the physical body and the etheric, mental, emotional, causal, over-soul, Christed oversoul configuration, which is the higher aspects of you.

So, in that second segment in the course of Mastering Alchemy, you begin to have access to all of those parts of you, begin to weave them together without thinking, just simply knowing.

And then that Meridian System, connecting what’s called the axial spin points to the Meridian acupuncture points becomes the connecting docking points to that higher consciousness body that is the light body.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Can you tell when somebody has achieved that just by looking at them?

Jim Self: Generally, no. I’m watching all these people that have pursued through the course, and one of the things that I make it clear, you didn’t

arrive at the finishing line. You arrived at the starting line. And in that space, you begin to have a challenge because these multi-dimensional layers of consciousness of yourself do not speak in English, French, and Spanish, and the rational mind that processes in your head has no clue.

they walk around differently?

Do they manage themselves differently? Yes.

Well, at that point, you have created stability where you’re able to hold an attention point without thinking anything and suddenly having a sense of knowing.

Jim Self: The fall of consciousness is kind of in religious terms talked about some bad angel went rogue and did bad things, and that really didn’t happen that way.

And the creator wishes to know itself, and so it’s a creator being, and it created many other creator beings to go out and show the creator what creation looked like.

And those multi-dimensional layers are not interested in what bad things you’ve done or what kind of job you have. As you begin to step into those multidimensional aspects, fear doesn’t exist. Words like safety don’t exist. Truth doesn’t exist because you can create an experience.

There’s no right or wrong, and you also can say, wow, that was interesting, but that didn’t work like I wanted it. And you can deconstruct it effortlessly.

So, do people look different in that light body? No. Do

Sandie Sedgbeer: Jim Self, before the break, you talked about the fall of consciousness, and you mentioned the words the raise of creation. Can you tell us a little bit about them?

And so, those creator gods kept pushing the limits and creating many, many more things as they unfolded, and at the same time, many of them became completely enamored with their own creative light and began to not use the light of the creator as frequently or at all.

And when that happened, some

Omtimes.com

wobbles got created, mutations, distortions in creation. And those wobbles, we would know those today as fear and jealousy and rage and anger and control and domination would be how we would know those wobbles. But, the creator beings continued to push, and when they found physicalness-and physicalness we think is everything, but physicalness is constantly described as a single drop of water in the vastest oceans of all that is, a drop of water, a simple part of creation.

As the creator gods kept creating more density and physicalness and more density, the combination of the mutations and the density, it was like you were in a chemistry lab and suddenly something blew up accidentally. We have been unraveling ourselves from the chemistry experiment if you would, and we’re now at the point where we have very much successfully succeeded, and we’re about to step out into the next space.

One of the intentions of that human density was the

Omtimes.com

nature of the fully Christed consciousness of the creator in physical form. And that model, that atom cabinet model, as it’s referred to, has been on hold, for the most part, all through this time. So, as the third dimension begins to be eliminated, and that’s what we all are doing, that new Christ consciousness template is very much what is now beginning to be part of the opportunity.

Sandie Sedgbeer: The #MeToo movement has exposed a huge rift in that notion that we were actually beginning to get somewhere. But, it’s also highlighting the shadows on both sides because we have many innocent men who do have different awareness around relationships who are now feeling attacked and dismissed. Is this all part of this losing our baggage and the return of the divine feminine and divine masculine that we hear so much about?

Jim Self: Absolutely. So, let’s put it into a slightly different perspective, and not making anybody good or bad, but what’s

really going on is the great part of it is the rules are being changed, and that’s what we’re experiencing.

It doesn’t go into the fifth dimension, disrespect, and imposition from one to another.

This event that’s occurring right now is I think one of the most freeing experiences for women and for that ability of that feminine nature of flow and creation and ease and beauty to be expressed in ways where it has been constructed in the past.

So, yes, it’s all part of this. And the relationship is the toughest game on the planet. It has been right from the beginning - how do I relate, not only male/ female but to my environment, to my relationships at work and everything else in a relationship. That’s the game of the third dimension, relationship.

Sandie Sedgbeer: Just tell us briefly about A Course in Mastering Alchemy and how interactive it is for readers.

Jim Self: So, we decided that a book was not complete enough, and so we created a separate website. Every chapter has additional information. There might be meditations, there might be a lecture. The purpose was to expand the fullness of both the energy that’s felt while being in the experience of the book multimedia facet. It’s much bigger than the 365 pages that were written.

Sandie Sedgbeer: What is the most important concept that the teachers of light taught you?

Jim Self: Present time and learning to choose, observe, choose and then act. You are the creator and being able to observe and discern and then create a direction and then act on your terms is gonna take you into that light body and into the multidimensional consciousness.

Meridian Therapy:

The Traditional Chinese Medicine that detoxifies the body Massage Therapy not only treats those parts of you, which are a problem but also affects the whole of your metabolism through normalizing your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems and their interdependent functioning.

Massage is usually done with soothing massage oils or relaxing body lotions for the practitioner’s hands to “glide” over the body with smooth, relaxing strokes.

Technique: Massage for emotional stress can help clear lactic acid and improve circulation. With a crystal wand or tumblestone (use one of the stones above) try gently tapping along the meridians or massaging affected areas in small gentle clockwise circles.

Hot Stone Massage Therapy is recommended for emotional stress. It is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy with riverbed stones, which draw out stress, tension, and impurities from the body.

Meridian Therapy: Traditional Chinese Medicine detoxifies the body system through the organs, primarily: The Lung and Large Intestine Meridian In TCM, the lungs are an organ system that opens directly to the exterior. Its function is to regulate and control the breath through inhalation and exhalation.

Because of its opening through the nose, the lungs are readily susceptible to cold, heat, dryness, dampness, and most of all, heat and wind. This can affect the biggest organ of the body; the skin. The lung’s relationship with the large intestine is what we take in, we must use and let go of. The lung is closely related to the San Jiao channel.

San Jiao Meridian The San Jiao is a traditional Chinese medical (TCM) concept of a functional organ that is not found outside of TCM). However,

from the meaning of the original word, which is the texture beneath the skin and between muscles, there has been some proposed theories stating that this conceptual organ corresponds to the lymphatic system. San Jiao has been translated as “triple heater,” triple warmer (or three warmers),” and “triple burner,” the latter of which is probably favored because of the involvement of the San Jiao in metabolism (burner meaning “metabolize”). Use red stones such as ruby, garnet, fire agate or Jasper on the top of the arm, two finger breathes above the wrist and on the middle of the shoulder bladders at SJ 11.

Emotional Cleanse Clear these meridians by creating a grid with crystals, herbs or salt.

Your grid can be a meditation circle you create with other tools such as candles or incense. An easy way to do this is to use any one of these tools (or a combination of a few) and make a circle on the floor. Now lay in the circle to create a private and sacred space to relax in, do meditation in or just a place to feel safe. Focus on the energy around our heart and your mind or mind’s eye (Third Eye). An Aura balancing exercise can Omtimes.com

acts as a great cleanser. Image pure white energy glowing (growing) from your feet and then slowly moving up your body, inch by inch. Since the light cleansing each section as you feel it rising upward past your hips, over your belly, across your heart, over your throat, above your eyes and finally over your head. Allow yourself time in this protective, white light as you allow your stressors to melt away.

Chakra balancing stimulates the seven main energy sources, which govern all the major organs and psychologically alters and clears the body’s energy to allow healing to take place.

This means that the polarities of the crystal will change when subjected to pressure or heat (even body heat from the hands). This will radiate energy from the crystal due to this reversal of polarities. It provides the transfer, storage, and transformation of energy. It offers a balanced energy field, an energy modification, which amplifies both energy and thought clarity in thinking, and harmony and alignment with the Chakra energy areas.

Omtimes.com

Aura cleansing works with our outer energy layers. These layers are first affected before we may even know or physically feel symptoms. Lay crystals in the areas that influence the aura. Do a scan with a clear quartz point to sense any cold areas, change in temperatures or uneasy energy.

Remember, no matter what your emotional connection is to your stress, it is important to see the bigger picture. It is how you choose to handle your stress that makes all the difference.

You only have two choices: allow it to keep affecting you and bothering your mental state, OR you can take back your control and see it for what it is. The cause of stress is often a problem we can solve.

It simply takes the courage to change the way we look at the issue at hand. If it is an issue that is out of your control, then accepting this is your first line of defense. Taking back your power is having the wisdom to understand the difference.

The Spiritual Significance of Lent

By Cathedral of the Soul

Lent is the time for trimming the soul and scrapping the sludge off a life turned slipshod. Lent is about taking stock of time, even religious

Omtimes.com

time. Lent is about exercising the control that enables us to say no to ourselves so that when life turns hard of its own accord, we have the stamina to yes to its twists and turns with faith and hope. Lent is the time to make new efforts to be what we say we want to be.

Joan D. Chittister Lent is a period instituted by the Catholic Christian Church that begins on Ash Wednesday and extends until Easter. For those of Christian faith, it represents a period of spiritual reflection and purification.

Lent is the time of introspection, vigilance, confrontation with our fears, limiting beliefs and fears so that we can transmute them.

Lent is also the time that the Spiritual Plan allows spirits that have not yet reached evolution to be closer to Earth’s orbit.

So, watch your thoughts and do not get caught up in the

depressive egregore and or problems that some people project onto others these days.

For 40 days, Jesus fasted and alone also confronted his lower self and his ego. In the Bible, it is written that in this period when Jesus was alone fasting, the “devil” introduced himself and said: “If you are the Son of God, turn these stones into bread.”

We understand that the personification of the devil only persists for those who believe in the limit of the ego. With this explanation, it is possible to understand that we have several energies in our minds and that the rational mind is ruled by the power of the ego. We are also influenced by the power of our various selves: the rational, the unconscious, the subconscious, and of our mind above, the higher Self or conscious mind.

Jesus, after his ceremonial baptism and upon receiving the Holy Spirit, went into the wilderness and was tempted; by defeating the snares of the “Evil,” he finally took upon his mission.

But what does it mean? That evil really exists and that we must escape from its traps.

But how to avoid evil? Being humorous helps a lot. Jung explained that by acting in this way, good manages to excel at evil, that is, joy is a greater power over the opposite angle since it is often not possible to be charitable every day; another excellent alternative is to be part of a spiritually inclined community.

Therefore, what is important is “Living Lent,” which means to seize the opportunity to clean your heart from feelings and resentments, to pursue purity, rebirth and a clean start; to

Omtimes.com

become more reflective, trying to forgive, to reconcile and to become in the forty days of preparation for Easter Feast.

In this period, try to guard yourself, stay closer to the divinity, God and enjoy studying, meditating and especially forgiving yourself and others, to get stronger to face the challenges of our daily lives.

The Spirit of Synchronicity

By John Holland

Let me start by asking you all one important question, namely: “Is your soul trying to get your attention?�

Synchronicities and socalled coincidences are clear signs that the Divine Source is knocking on your door.

Omtimes.com

Sometimes it could be a soft tap, or for those times when you’re not paying attention, it could be a loud bang!

A source working through synchronicity can manifest itself in some pretty unique ways. I have my own definition and refer to them as my divine nudges. Have you heard the same phrase or saying from more than one person in a day? Do the same numbers keep showing up in your life?

Has someone mentioned the same person you were just thinking of? Have you met someone out of the blue which seemed to answer a question that you were just pondering?

These are all just signs for you to pause, be open, and pay attention but most importantly, to acknowledge that the source is sending you a message.

I heard a story once about a man who was having a hard time about switching careers and it was clearly causing him a lot of stress with all the unanswered questions. He was offered a new job and wasn’t sure if he

wanted to leave the security of his existing job where he’d worked for years. One day as he was driving to work and in a state of indecisiveness, he found himself asking himself the questions that we all might often ask at some point in time: “Should I take the new job?” “Will I be happy?” “Am I doing the right thing?” At that precise moment as he was churning the questions over and over, he looked up and saw a bus drive by and for some reason, he read the billboard on the side of the bus. It was a Nike advertisement with the slogan: “Just Do It!” These are not just coincidences!

I don’t believe there are accidents in this intelligent universe. It’s times like these that you should ask yourself: “What am I suppose to be learning or doing right now?” I feel when these synchronistic events happen, it’s the inner-workings of your soul showing up in your outside physical world.

This year, try to be more aware of when synchronicity is trying to get your attention.

Omtimes.com

Don’t let your analytical mind convince you that it’s merely a coincidence, or don’t just simply explain it away!

JOHN’S LESSON This week try to notice if synchronistic events are happening around you and your life. Here are a few tips to assist you to begin to notice and act on those divine nudges.

Tips on tapping in to and working with synchronicities • The more you notice and pay attention to meaningful synchronistic events and coincidences, the easier it gets for them to multiply in your life.

• Notice when you run into people unexpectedly. Really listen to what’s being said in the conversation and the hidden message that could be there for you.

• If there’s a certain problem in your life, try to let it go and turn it over to synchronicity. What you’re saying to the Divine Source is: “OK, show me! Let me

Omtimes.com

be aware and act when the answer or guidance is being presented to me.”

• Work with your journal and intuition to become even more aware when the source is knocking on your door.

• Believe that it’s possible. A positive attitude enhances the experience, just as a negative attitude will shut it down.

This article may be the first you are receiving, or you may have had this forwarded to you from a friend. Equally, someone might have simply had you read this – after you just told them of a socalled coincidence that has or keeps showing up in your life.

You were meant to receive this newsletter with this message.

This is also another sign that synchronicity is trying to get your attention!

As I’ve said: “There no accidents - I truly believe that life tries to show us miracles every day if we would simply notice – and act upon them.”

Live a Soul-filled life!

feels or senses what is wrong with the energy of the space.

While a small percentage of the analysis may rely on intuition, the majority of the evaluation can be based on time-tested calculations and tangible observations.

As an example, you do not have to be psychic to surmise that an occupant will be depressed if their home is dark, dingy, and massively cluttered. Nor do you have to be psychic to know that if a house sits at the end of a busy street, that the occupants may be unusually irritated. These are energy principles that are taught in beginner’s classes.

As well, much of what gets discussed and evaluated in a Feng Shui reading are things which are not obvious to the naked eye, but also learned formulas and techniques. I don’t consider myself psychic but have learned and validated that a house which faces southwest (between 203-247 degrees) and built in the in the 1930’s, is a house which could encourage

occupants to become alcoholic or at least indulgent, catering to addictive behaviors. And there doesn’t have to be any physical evidence around to prove it.

This is just one single example of how something pretty significant about the house’s influence is based on its age and orientation. We can even discuss the potential influence of a house before it is even built!

Still, some clients expect that a Feng Shui consultant will possess supernatural powers or at least claim to have them.

This may include sensing the presence of ghosts, spirits, and specific events that have transpired at that location. In reality, everyone is intuitive, but few people develop it. People should, in fact, follow their “gut” instincts or hunches more often.

My own personal experience with people who claim to be professional psychics has included individuals who were just excessively confident about their overactive imaginations. The true

Omtimes.com

psychic is hard to find! This is why I make a big point about not emphasizing any psychic abilities of my own or interjecting them into a Feng Shui analysis. There is so much formal training available that a person could have no intuition at all and still be able to perform a competent Feng Shui audit if they have enough training.

Some of the first Feng Shui adepts and masters were, in fact, a highly tuned-in selection of people. They dowsed with accuracy and experienced their surroundings with much more sensitivity than the average person, way back then and for sure in current times. How else would this non-obvious understanding and interaction with our environment have even been discovered? It is through those highly developed sensibilities, and sparks of genius, that the more technical, geo-mantic

Omtimes.com

and cosmological advances were made.

Can a house’s Feng Shui help a person develop their own psychic or intuitive strength?

I could say “yes” in a general way. Having your physical environment balanced and supportive around you may invite all kinds of positive benefits, from intuition, to learning to forgive, and to appreciating life more. When we experience a difference in the qi of our own living space, we can better appreciate its omnipotence. This is a spiritual experience, in and of itself. One thing that happens quite often when a person makes Feng Shui adjustments to their home is that the change is palpable.

They “feel” it before they may even have a shift in actual circumstances. This might prove we are really intuitive all along.

Remember Your True Identity

By Guy Finley

When we see this world as a hostile place where new attacks are constantly launched against a shaky self, it only seems natural for us to be self-protective, and that’s exactly what we do.

We put tremendous amounts of energy into developing Omtimes.com

and carrying out our plans for defense. Thus, we justify our actions to ward off the possible criticism of others.

We fawn before people we see as more powerful than we are. We tell ourselves that we are superior to those we see as less powerful than ourselves. So, instead of living our lives fully and freely, we suffer from constantly comparing ourselves to others while unconsciously hoping we can make ourselves into someone against whom others will compare themselves!

In a way, it’s as though we have built psychological bunkers from which we peer out at the world, wondering from where the next attack will come. Whenever we find ourselves hunkering down in those bunkers, building our defenses and planning our attacks, it would be an excellent time to remember this new view of our lives: that we are actually unfolding from the inside out, regardless of the perception we have that the problems lie in threatening enemies that

charge us from outside.

This means that instead of putting our attention on what others have done or said, or what the news of the day is, we can turn our attention inward. When we see the “attack” coming, we turn our attention around to see that it is only our false view that perceives an attack; and when we see that the “threat” we’re about to battle is really just a shadow -- cast off from a false idea we hold about ourselves -- then we meet the event from our true self; our own awakened nature whose higher understanding realizes that the perceived “attack” upon us has no power of itself.

It is only our reaction to it, our belief in the insulted or hurt self it gives rise to, which gives it any power over us.

In the past, we accepted the cruel remark of a thoughtless person as being something real, with the power to hurt us.

Our wrong thinking created the problem, and therefore could never solve it. It was not separate from the problem.

Omtimes.com

Now, as our new and higher awareness refuses to give our life energy to perpetuating the wrong thinking, the problem must fall away of itself.

To achieve this state, we must first become tired of fighting all these battles and trying to be strong from our own present idea of strength. We can be that rare person who says, “I won’t try to be strong anymore. I’ll just watch. I’ll start to participate in my life in a whole new way.”

This means working to see that our life is created from the inside out. When our tricked perception sees something as threatening, we are tricked into another battle. When our conscious awareness sees that there are only passing events and does not get involved, there are no battles.

The only critical issue is what unfolds inside of us. We cannot change, control, or be stronger than anything our mind says is outside of us. But we can be inwardly awake,

Omtimes.com

conscious of the fact that we don’t need to be stronger than what we see because we aren’t really separate from what we see. We just need to start seeing more accurately.

Then, we will understand that there is another kind of strength altogether -- a higher strength -- of which we can partake. Resting in that strength means we don’t have to try to win anything outside at all.

Relationships

The interconnectiveness among all human beings and, consequently, the relationships among us are the focus of this section. The dynamics of the web of connections we make is one of the most prominent aspects of human existence: how we interlace with each other’s existence in a meaningful way.

Do You Love Like an Adult or Child?

By Marcia Sirota, MD.

When I observe how people engage in romantic relationships, it seems that they do this in one of two ways: either from the perspective of a child or from that of an adult.

Omtimes.com

People who pursue love from an adult perspective are looking for companionship, romance, a life partner. They’re realistic about what the other person has to offer, but they won’t settle for less than what will make them truly happy. They understand that while love is enriching and meaningful, it can’t make up for what’s missing in their lives or be the center of their existence.

The adult who pursues love won’t stay in a bad relationship just for the sake of being with somebody, and they won’t tolerate mistreatment, as they know that this isn’t preferable to being alone. An autonomous, self-sufficient adult would rather be alone than with someone disappointing or hurtful.

In an adult relationship, both people are intact, fullyfunctioning members of society with their own lives and interests. They bring out the best in each other and feel good about themselves when they’re with their partner.

People in adult relationships aren’t constantly frustrated with their partner, complaining about

them or passive-aggressively leaking anger at them. Adults are willing to work on a relationship that they feel is worth saving, but they’re able to walk away when it’s clear that it no longer makes sense to stay together.

Adults don’t cheat. If they’re unhappy with their relationship, they address the issues directly.

If they develop feelings for someone else, they explore what’s driving this attraction and then choose either to resist temptation or to end their current relationship. They don’t act out in ways that are hurtful to themselves or others.

People who approach love from a child-like perspective, however, have a very different agenda. Rather than looking for romance or companionship, they’re unconsciously seeking a solution to emotional wounds and needs which have arisen from past experiences.

When the child part of the psyche is in charge of love, what’s driving the pursuit of relationships is the need to fill up emptiness and compensate for love that was lacking in Omtimes.com

childhood, or to heal hurts and losses incurred in the past.

In such cases, the agenda of the child within drives bad choices. In one such pattern, the person unconsciously seeks out potential partners who remind them of their (neglectful, rejecting) parent(s) in the false hope that by converting this unavailable or hurtful person into a loving partner, they’ll vicariously heal the wounds and meet the needs of the past.

This is what Freud called the “repetition compulsion.”

Of course, transforming a rejecting, neglectful partner into a loving one is something that mainly happens in the movies or on TV. Even if this partner were to change, it would never heal the wounds of the past or compensate for missing or absent love. These are tasks best done internally, preferably with the help of psychotherapy.

If the partner were to change, the child-like lover would still end up frustrated and disappointed, as their agenda for healing and compensation

Omtimes.com

couldn’t be fulfilled. They’d end up resenting their partner and would begin to look elsewhere for the healing and compensation they’d sought in this partner. This is why it’s called a compulsion, and it’s one explanation for the compulsive pursuit of new relationships.

Another way the child comes out in relationships is in the idealization of the romantic partner. Here, the individual projects the qualities of their beloved parent(s) onto their lover, or at least the qualities they’d hoped for in their parent(s). Since Mom and Dad were the original love-objects, the child within persists in seeking unconditional love from an ideal mate.

Sadly, the idealized person is soon discovered to be a normal, imperfect individual whose love can never be as unconditional as that of a parent. The disappointed child-driven partner will reject the onceidealized mate for having fallen short of their expectations, even though otherwise, they might have been very compatible.

The search for perfection in a partner is another way the child is manifest in supposedly adult relationships. In this scenario, the person will accept only the most beautiful, intelligent, wealthy, charismatic and well-connected of partners.

Even if such an individual were found, the child-driven lover would soon start looking for someone else.

The compulsion to be with a better and better partner is driven by the child’s false hope that the “perfect” one is out there for them and that if they keep trying. Eventually, they’ll find this person. All this does is propel the child-like lover through multiple dates or brief relationships. These individuals are left deeply disillusioned because they’re operating under the illusion that perfection in a partner is both possible and desirable.

The most unfortunate way the child within drives the pursuit of relationships is how a person will stop at nothing and tolerate just about anything to have a partner. This child-driven individual is so convinced of

their need for someone that they broadcast their desperation to every unscrupulous low-life out there.

These people end up with predators who treat them badly, but they’ll stay in the relationship for as long as the partner is willing to keep things going. In fact, they’ll often attempt suicide if their partner breaks up with them.

Alternatively, as soon as the previous relationship has ended, these people will immediately enter into a new relationship with whoever will have them.

They’re constantly unhappy in love but are wrongly convinced that they’d be worse off alone. They’re unaware of their adult power, resilience, and self-sufficiency, and don’t see themselves as capable of tolerating rejection or being happy on their own.

If you recognize yourself in the latter group or if your relationships resemble any of the dysfunctional ones described above, your love-life might be driven by the child within as opposed to your adult self.

The 4 Laws for Emotional Release and Detachment

It is possible that you hear the word detachment it causes you a feeling of coldness and selfishness.

Nothing is further from the reality. The word detachment, when understood within the context of personal growth,

Omtimes.com

withholds a precious inner value that all of us must learn to develop.

Practicing detachment does not mean giving up everything that is important to us or breaking affective bonds or personal relationships

with those that are part of our daily lives. “Detachment means knowing how to love, appreciate, and engage in relationships with a more balanced and healthy view, freeing yourself from the excesses that trap you.�

The emotional release allows us to be living more honestly, according to our own needs: To Grow, advance wisely, without harming anyone and at the same time, not letting anyone limit you.

Here we have the 4 laws of detachment for emotional release.

Should we practice them?

1 - Law of detachment: You are responsible for yourself No one can live for you. No one can breathe for you, no one can volunteer to bear your sorrows, or feel your pain. You are the engineer of your own life, and every step you take is an important one in your walk.

So the first law you should keep in mind to practice detachment is to become aware that you are entirely responsible for yourself.

Do not blame others for your happiness. Do not imagine that to be happy you need to find the ideal partner or have the recognition of your whole family.You are enough.

If you fantasize about the opinion of others being your measure of satisfaction and happiness, you will achieve nothing but suffering. Others will almost never meet our needs.

Cultivate your own happiness, be responsible, mature, be aware of your choices and consequences and never let your well-being depend on the opinion of others.

2 - Law of detachment: Live in the present, accept and assume your reality Many times, we can’t admit that nothing in this life is eternal, that nothing remains the same; everything flows and resumes its own path. Many people are still focused on what happened in the past, and it becomes a massive burden we carry in the present life.

Even if it is painful, accept it.

Try to realize the past is gone

Omtimes.com

and learn to forgive. This will make you feel freer and will help you focus on what really matters: “the here and now.”

Free yourself from the burdens of the past. There is no future in the past!

never healthy. We have the example of parents obsessed with the protection of their children, who prevent them from growing and advancing with confidence to explore the world.

3 - Law of detachment: Free yourself and let others also be free

The need to detach is fundamental in such cases; each one must step outside their security limits to face the unforeseen and the unknown.

“Realize that freedom is the most full, complete and healthy way to enjoy and understand life in all its immensity.”

4 - Law of detachment: The losses will happen sooner or later

Being free does not prevent us from creating bonds with others. Forming relationships, loving others and being loved is part of our process of personal growth.

We must accept that, in this life, nothing lasts forever. Life, relationships, even material possessions vanish like smoke, escaping through an open window or sliding through our fingers.

Detachment means that you should never take responsibility for the lives of others, that they cannot impose your principles on you or even try to arrest you. This is how problems of relationship and suffering arise.

People go away, children grow up, some friends go away, and we lose some loves . All this is part of the practical learning of the art of detachment. We have to learn that this is normal and face this situation with tranquility, courage, and poise.

Exaggerated attachments and emotional co-dependency are

What you can never change is your ability to love. Always start by loving yourself.

This incredible globe called Earth exists in a universe that creates with light. As energy glows, life thrives and grows.

We are beings evolved from this brilliance with minds, hearts, and consciousness that has and will continue to evolve and expand.

The knowledge we possess now is only a fraction of what is to come. We are learning how to unlock the codes and turn the keys to help connect the spirituality of science in full force.

The energetic forces which propel us to keep pushing the boundaries are waiting for the proper time for us to discover what miracles have always been in front of us. We just have to keep our courage, trust our intuitive natures, and refuse to accept that nothing can be done to manifest light energy! How we bring light to our lives can be complicated and varied, but they are worth it. Our very existence depends on our ability to understand the capabilities we possess in our true nature, which help us overcome negativity and inhumanity.

It is time to shed light on some of the very difficult and alarming situations in our society. By

bringing light on the darker side of human behavior, we begin the process of evolving the situation into non-acceptance of its existence. Through that process, we discover how to develop our minds so we that we can help others speak up and begin to heal their hearts and minds from abuse. It is so important that we send light instead of judgment. Visualizing light brings in knowledge, calm and peace not only to our minds but our bodies and spirits as well.

The experience of feeling bliss, lightness of being, is too incredible to describe. It feels like floating on invisible billows, held by loving arms and protected in radiance, at one with existence. Throughout history, spirituality has echoed this mantra. In meditation and during intense healing sessions, the divine can be felt by anyone who believes in its power, even those who might doubt its existence. The euphoric feeling is the rush that stirs our soul to create new thoughts, solutions, ideas which help bring into life the things we wish to manifest.

When we bring our challenges into the light, we set in motion Omtimes.com

a myriad of energies. Scattering across boundaries and beliefs, we plant seeds of hope and keep shining light until that light grows into tangible, peaceful energy that is accessible and attainable to everyone. The battles we have witnessed between light and dark have nothing to do with skin or hair color, instead about the color of our hearts. A heart that is beating and based on lightfilled action towards humanity sets an example just by the strength of its vibration. We see their actions, watch their good deeds and intuitively we know that this is based on love and not ego. Light-filled hearts love to heal others with the same unconditional acceptance and compassion they live by.

dear the concepts we can attain higher frequency knowledge to help relieve suffering on Earth.

Balancing these energies is key to being able to understand the why and how of the duality in nature. We all have this spark within us - whether it is dormant from fear or shutdown from false ego - it is there. How we deal and respond to those who practice causing harm helps us heighten the ways in which we coexist on such a diverse and divided planet. The more light we intend to use to create instead of to destroy, the more we ‘destroy’ that darkness. If we take away its nourishment that old dealmaker, darkness, will cease to exist in human form.

So much has been written in song and word about the light.

The quest to be in it, to see it, to be saved by it has existed in our consciousness here since we became aware.

Unveiling Isis

by Marguerite Dar Boggia

Madame H.P. Blavatsky wrote Isis Unveiled1 by reading invisible records in the astral light (also called the Akashic records). She also received help from the Masters. All that has ever transpired has ever been spoken or written can be read in the invisible records in space Omtimes.com

surrounding our globe, which is also called the “etheric body of our globe.”

According to Madame Blavatsky, the Astral Light is identical with the Hindu Akasa.2 Akasa is the subtle, supersensuous spiritual essence which pervades all space; It is the veil or concretization of the highest spiritual, while the earth is the concretization of the astral light.3 The purpose of her book was and is to reveal the dogmatic assumptions of modern science and theology and to offer the Platonic philosophy as the only middle ground. She also explores the vast domain of the paranormal. The motivating power of the man and the universe, she shows to be spiritual, not material.

To appreciate the prejudice which has marked the treatment of psychological subjects in the past, she reviewed the book “Histoire du Merveilleux dans Les Temps Modernes” published by its author, Dr. Figuier. It has teemed of quotations from the most conspicuous authorities in psychology, psychology, and

medicine. It was not facts but merely the way in which such facts were regarded by those, who were recognized as authorities, that she wanted to demonstrate to the reader.

Blavatsky begins with the Convulsionnaires of Cevennes, the epidemic of whose astounding phenomena occurred during the latter part of 1700. They were a French religious sect.4 A mere handful of men, women, and children, not exceeding 2,000 persons in number, could withstand for years king’s troops, which, with the militia, amounted to 60,000 men. That is a miracle in itself. On page 370 she writes: “There is in existence an official report which was sent to Rome by the ferocious Abbe’ Chayla, the prior of Laval, in which he complains that the evil one is so powerful, that no torture, no amount of inquisitory exorcism, is able to dislodge him from the Cevennois. He closed their hands with burning coals, and they were not even singed. He wrapped their whole persons in cotton soaked with oil, and had set them on fire, and in many cases did not find one blister on their skins; that balls were shot Omtimes.com

at them and found flattened between the skin and clothes, without injuring them.

“Accepting the whole of the above as a solid groundwork for his learned arguments, this is what Dr. Figuier says: “Toward the close of the seventeenth century, an old maid imports into Cevennes the spirit of prophecy. She communicates it (?) to young boys and girls, who transpire it in their turn, and spread it in the surrounding atmosphere. .Women and children become the most sensitive to the infection” (vol.

II., p. 261) “Men, women, and babies speak under inspiration, not in ordinary patois, but in the purest French -- a language at that time utterly unknown in the country. Children of twelve months, and even less, as we learn from the proces verbaux, who previously could hardly utter a few short syllables, spoke fluently and prophesied.”

“Eight thousand prophets,” says Figuier, “were scattered over the country; doctors and eminent physicians were sent for.” Half of the medical schools of France, among others, the Faculty of Montpellier, hastened to the spot.

Consultations were held, and the Omtimes.com

physicians declared themselves “delighted, lost in wonder and admiration, upon hearing young girls and boys, ignorant and illiterate, deliver discourses on things they had never learned.”

The sentence pronounced by Figuier against these treacherous professional brethren, for being so delighted with the young prophets, is that they “did not understand, themselves, what they saw.” Many of the prophets forcibly communicated their spirit to those who tried to break the spell. A great number of them were between three and twelve years of age; still, others were at the breast and spoke French distinctly and correctly.

These discourses which often lasted for several hours, would have been impossible to the little orators, were the latter in their natural state.

“Now,” asks the reviewer, “what was the meaning of such a series of prodigies, all of them freely admitted in Figuier’s book? “No meaning at all! It was nothing,” he says, “except the effect of a ‘momentary exaltation of the intellectual faculties’” “These phenomena,” he adds, “are observable in many of the cerebral affection.”5

Oh, miracle of physiology!

Prodigy ought to be thy name!

Blavatsky continues on page 372: “Abbe’ Paris was a Jansenist, who died in 1727. Immediately after his decease, the most surprising phenomena began to occur at his tomb. The churchyard was crowded from morning to night.

Jesuits, exasperated at seeing heretics perform wonders in healing, and other works, got from the magistrates an order to close all access to the tomb of the Abbe’. But, notwithstanding every opposition, the wonders lasted for over twenty years. . .

The curing of the sick, giving a hearing to the deaf and sight to the blind, were everywhere talked of as the effects of the holy sepulcher. But, what is more extraordinary, many of the miracles were immediately proved upon the spot, before judges of unquestioned credit and distinction, in a learned age, and on the most eminent theatre that is now in the world. .The phenomena so well authenticated by thousands of witnesses before magistrates, and in spite of the Catholic clergy, are among the most wonderful in history. Carre’ de Montgeron, a member

of parliament and a man who became famous for his connection with the Jansenists, enumerates them carefully in his work. It comprises four thick quarto volumes. .For speaking disrespectfully of the Roman clergy, Montgeron was thrown into the Bastille, but his work was accepted.6 “And now for the views of Dr. Figuier upon these remarkable and unquestionably historical phenomena: “A Convulsionary bends back into an arc, her loins supported by the sharp point of a peg. The pleasure she begs for is to be pounded by a stone weighing fifty pounds and suspended by a rope passing over a pulley fixed to the ceiling. The stone, being hoisted to its extreme height, falls with all its weight upon the patient’s stomach, her back resting all the while on the sharp point of the peg. Montgeron and numerous other witnesses testified to the fact that neither the flesh nor the skin of the back was ever marked in the least, and that the girl, to show she suffered no pain whatever, kept crying out, ‘Strike harder -- harder.’7 “Now the learned critic, the eminent physician, and psychologist would necessarily Omtimes.com

startle the reading public with some extraordinary scientific explanation. To all this, he quietly observes: “Recourse was had to marriage to bring to a stop these disorders of the Convulsionnaires!” This does startle us!8 This insensibility of the human body to the impact of heavy blows and resistance to penetration by sharp points and musket-bullets is a phenomenon sufficiently familiar in the experience of all times and all countries. While science is entirely unable to give any reasonable explanation of the mystery, the question offers no difficulty to mesmerists, who have well studied the properties of the fluid. The man, who by a few passes over a limb can produce a local paralysis to render it utterly insensible to burns, cuts, etc. need be but very little astonished at the phenomena of the Jansenists.

As to the adepts of magic, especially in Siam and in the East Indies, they are too familiar with the properties of the Akasa, the mysterious life-fluid, to even regard the insensibility of the Convulsionnaires as a very great phenomenon. The astral fluid can be compressed about a Omtimes.com

person to form an elastic shell, absolutely non-penetrable by any physical object, however great the velocity with which it travels. In a word, this fluid can be made to equal and even excel in resisting power, water, and air.9 It can also be compressed about a city or nation to prevent missiles.

Paracelsus says that his spirit, without the help of the body, and through a fiery will alone, with without a sword, can stab and wound others. “It is also possible that I can bring the spirit of my adversary into an image, and then double him up and lame him. . . .the exertion of will is a great point in medicine...”10 This energy of the spirit is also used to heal others.

In 1568 the Prince of Orange condemned a Spanish prisoner to be shot at Juliers. The soldiers tied him to a tree and fired, but he was invulnerable. They, at last, stripped him to see what armor he wore but found only an amulet. When this was taken from him, he fell dead at the first shot.

A few years ago there lived in an African village, an Abyssinian who passed for a sorcerer. .A German

who was in search of ostrich feathers, offered the magician a five-franc piece if he would allow him to fire his gun with the muzzle touching his body.

The man at first refused; but, finally, after appearing to hold a conversation with somebody inside the ground, consented.

The experimenter carefully loaded, and pressing the muzzle of the weapon against the sorcerer’s body, after a moment’s hesitation, fired. the barrel burst into fragments as far down as the stock, and the man walked off unhurt.

This quality of invulnerability can be imparted to persons both by living adepts and by spirits. In our own time several well-known mediums have frequently, in the presence of the most respectable witnesses, not only handled blazing coals and actually placed their face upon a fire without singeing a hair, but even laid flaming coals upon the heads and hands of bystanders, as in the case of Lord Lindsay and Lord Adair.. ..In fact, many great commanders have been believed by their soldiers to bear what is called “a charmed life”.11 In “Art-Magic,” one of the most

delightful pictures presented to us is that of an innocent little child medium, in whose presence, during the past three years, four volumes of MSS, in the ancient Sanskrit, have been written by the spirits, without pens, pencils or ink. It is enough,” says the author, “to lay the blank sheets on a tripod, carefully screened from the direct rays of light, but still dimly visible to the eyes of attentive observers. The child sits on the ground and lays her head on the tripod, embracing its supports with her little arms. In this attitude, she most commonly sleeps for an hour, during which time the sheets lying on the tripod are filled up with exquisitely formed characters in the ancient Sanscrit.”12 There is a difference between a medium and a magician. An adept, an anonymous author of Art-Magic, states: “The reader may inquire wherein consists the difference between a medium and a magician?.. .The medium is one through whose astral spirit other spirits can manifest, making their presence known by various kinds of phenomena.

Whatever these consist of, the medium is only a passive agent in their hands. He can neither Omtimes.com

command their presence, nor will their absence; can never compel the performance of any special act, nor direct its nature. The magician, on the contrary, can summon and dismiss spirits at will; can perform many feats of occult power through his own spirit; can compel the presence and assistance of spirits of lower grades of being than himself, and effect transformations in the realm of nature upon animate and inanimate bodies.” 13 ∆∆∆

rays. The Dorje is an artisticarchetypal representation of the ultimate spiritual dynamic, functioning as an active meditative component, a formenergy transceiver.

The word Dorje (in Tibetan) is equivalent to vajra (in Sanskrit) and means weapon, ray, scepter, diamond. The hidden virtue of this instrument is to repel invisible evil influences and purify the air (like ozone in chemistry). The Dorje is the symbol of Divine Wisdom that annihilates all passions and leads us to the control of samsara existence (incarnations). It is the highest symbol of spiritual power to which nothing resists. Its preciousness, value, purity, and brilliance have equaled it to the diamond - which cuts any material and is not cut by any.

Dorje is often used in rituals of meditation and contemplation as a symbol of the union between the Relative Truth, represented by the experience of daily life, and the Absolute Truth, a state of being that lives in union with nature and with all that it surrounds it. On the other hand, when the Dorje and the Bell are used during meditation, the objective is to balance the male part with the feminine part of things, to achieve spiritual clarity.

As a thunderbolt weapon, the Dorje destroys both internal and external enemies.

The Dalai Lama has a title of “Owner of the Dorje,” because the staff has the power to dominate the fire of the sky and to emit healing

At first sight, the Dorje is confused as a common souvenir because it looks like a scepter used by kings in medieval Europe. But the DORJE has another and different function and can be seen in the Buddhist temples right along with gongs, Singing bowls, and sacred prints. The Dorje is a metal

Omtimes.com

piece (brass/iron alloy) in the shape of a rod with about 6 to 9 centimeters in lengths and two bulbs at the ends such as lotus buds - a symbol of spiritual purity.

For Tibetan Buddhists, the Dorje is a symbol of mastery of the mind and only the most learned of the Lamas, or initiated monks of the Kargyutpa sect possess their secret. The seat of the Kargyutpa sect is near Sikkim, and its symbol is formed by two cross-shaped DORJEs. It is said that the Dorje radiates strange and luminous energy.

An ancient text of Mahayana Buddhism says: “After washing your Dorje with holy water, it will emit bright violet radiation.”

Another Sacred manuscript quotes that during a Lamaism initiation ritual, the yellow and red robes of the monks in meditation are overshadowed by the intense bluish glow of the Dorje. They even say that Dorje helps a lama to levitate!

But to prove this, we would have to be present.

The Tibetan tradition tells that several Dorjes fell from the sky. One of them in Darjeeling (DORJEeling = DORJE Place, in Tibetan).

Dorjes fallen from the sky remind us of “Ufos things.”

Andrew Thomas, in his book “Shambhala,” suggests that the Dorje is an extraterrestrial artifact. “The Tibetan Folklore speaks of Lung-ta, a winged horse, a messenger of the gods, who traveled through the starry universe carrying a precious jewel - Chintamani (Sanskrit) or Norbu-Rinpoche (Tibetan) on the back where the one that distributed the Dorje over the world.”

According to the author, Lung-ta can be an allegory to spacecraft that dropped several Dorje on our planet (Fantastic Realism).

The vital message of sacredness and purity, represented by the Dorje, doubles its power in the cases where it is rendered twice.

The double Dorje, known as Vishvavajra and also used as a seal for closure or signature

for essential documents, is often placed in the base of statues representing the main Tibetan and Indian divinities, and if worn serves as a warning to remember the absolute indestructible character of Knowledge.

Peter Kolossimo in his book “Eternal Earth” tells the story of two Russian scientists studying Tibetan scholarship at the Ganden Namgyeling Monastery. In 1959 they found texts on astronomy found that the Kalachakra culture already taught the heliocentric theory when Europe was still living in the ignorance of the Middle Ages! After much talk, the Chief Lama decided to reveal his knowledge of astronomy but insisted that the Russians underwent a severe regime of purification of their minds and bodies, which lasted a few days. After the “cleansing,” the Lama took the two Russians to a monastery cell and showed an “instrument” that began to whine. Then a luminous mist took the form of a celestial human being.

Before that figure appeared

a three-dimensional model of the Solar System formed by luminous spinning balls. The Russians were surprised to see that the model had ten planets and an unknown 11th in orbit of the Sun beyond Pluto. The beautiful, magical instrument was said to have been a Dorje.

In Tibetan illustrations we see several Buddhas meditating and holding a Dorje.

Padmasambhava carries one in his right hand, and Sakya Muni has one on the floor near the legs crossed.

There is a type of bell whose handle is half Dorje and represents the method of compassion.

Each of the parts of the Dorje has a special meaning, in particular, the two spherical limbs, which in addition to representing Sunyata, the primordial structure of the universe, symbolize the two parts into which the brain is divided.

The three central circles, which act as the junction of the two

Omtimes.com

limbs of the Dorje, represent the vast bliss that the Buddha reaches spontaneously, without effort.

At the extremities of the two Lotus Flowers, there are three circles, symbol of the six paths that lead to perfection: patience, generosity, discipline, commitment, meditation, and wisdom.

The Dorje is symmetrical. A kind of sphere in the center separates the two parts. The ball (or cable) represents the seed of the Universe in undifferentiated form as “Bindu” (zero points, drop, the smallest unit). From the cable comes a spiral towards the ends (poles) of the Dorje which is represented by three rings, as well as chalices supporting the lotus flower (the polarity of conscious existence).

Each lotus has eight petals: the upper one symbolizes the eight Bodhisattvas and the lower one the eight goddesses.

From each lotus are four “sea monster mouths” representing the freedom of cyclic existence.

Omtimes.com

From these mouths converge rays (tongues) towards a strange rod.

The Kalachakra science originates from Shambhala, introduced in Tibet in 1026

by Somanatha, a Cashmere Brahmin who spread astronomy and esoteric astrology.

Animal Communication: Solving Behavioral Mysteries

By Lisa Shaw In my personal experience, people mainly look for an animal communicator for four reasons: 1.They want to find out if their animal companion is content, 2. They want to unlock the past and heal the scars of a rescue animal,

Omtimes.com

3. They want to learn why their pet behaves a certain way and may want to change that behavior, 4. They are just plain curious.

The last of the list is the least frequent because an appointment is too much of a luxury they can’t readily afford in difficult financial times.

Addressing pet behavior challenges such as anxieties, and fears are the most common reason to consult a communicator, but it’s important to understand that the communicator is not a trainer, that sometimes, just knowing the core of a particular behavior is not enough to correct it. Many times, further consultation with training is a necessary second step.

I always respect the human caretaker who seeks telepathic communicator; it shows a level of dedication and trust even when they schedule an appointment with a “let’s see this works” degree of skepticism. In some cases, an effortless image the animal presents are the crux of the

session what can quickly solve the problem, to the human’s surprise.

Cats are notoriously difficult when it comes to administering oral medication, A new client called me, frustrated that her cat, refused medication no matter how she would try to disguise it. The medication was necessary to keep the cat alive. I went to her house and chatted with the cat very casually, first from across the room (she was perched atop a high beachfront chair), and she gradually moved closer to the sofa so that eventually she was sitting in front of me. When I asked her directly, “what would it take to get you to take your medication?” she showed me buttered toast. I turned to her owner and asked her if she ate buttered toast for breakfast in the morning; she said, “every morning.” “Your cat wants to know why she doesn’t get any.

Put the pill in the buttered toast, and she’ll take it.”

The woman was polite, barely masking her skepticism. I ended the session by assuring her that I trust the images the animals send to me. She shrugged. The Omtimes.com

next evening I received a phone call: “I can’t believe it! I gave her some buttered toast, and she took the medication! This is a miracle!”

Simple problem, simple fix. The animal knows what it wants and need.

In a similar situation, I recently read for an acutely aware, spiritual couple. A giant Ganesh statue adorned their living room. They spend months studying with masters in India and Nepal. They contacted me, concerned about their two dogs; one in the end stage of a terminal illness, and the other a younger rescue suffering from anxiety at night. They were gently readying themselves as their older girl and wanted to help ease her transition, but they were puzzled by their rescue girl, who paced around their bed in the middle of the night every night, and pawed the husband awake more than once between bedtime and 6 a.m. They wanted to see if I could identify the reason and quell the anxiety. This was another case in which just recognizing the cause was enough to adjust the behavior.

Omtimes.com

One quick tune-in gave me an instant answer. “Do you snore loudly? She is afraid you’re dying in the middle of the night, and she’s trying to revive you.”

Their faces revealed an instant knowing. “I wear a C-pap” mask at night.” They asked me to explain to the dog that this was not a threat, that he was okay, and she could relax at night so that they could sleep. We agreed that they would check with me in a week to see whether the situation had improved. At the end of that week, Elaine called to say that the dog slept through the entire night every night.

Case solved.

A communicator cannot guarantee answers and doesn’t provide prescriptions, but in telepathic conversation with the animal, we will usually receive information that clarifies the issue and provides avenues for resolution. The most essential component of a communication session is an open-minded.

Humans who are able to help decipher the images the animal sends, and in successful cases, they can add a new dimension to the bond between a grateful person and a grateful animal companion (dog or cat).

Astrology & Numerology

The Vedic Elements of Archetypes Everything that exists in nature, according to The Vedic Tradition, is structured by three primary attributes, or Gunas. Gunas is understood to be the natural impulses and principles of life that condition all matters.

These attributes or Gunas manifest themselves as Sattwa (or the principle of superior intelligence, fluidity, smoothness, and harmony); like Tamas (or the law of inertia, density, resistance) and Rajas (the principle Omtimes.com

of rational mental energy, turbulence, impulsiveness).

We can make an analogy comparing the behavior of the Gunas manifesting as a wave, where Sattwa balances an action, Tamas maintains this action and Rajas unbalances it, changes the status and generates the conditions for a new Sattwa to start a new equilibrium initiative.

There is also another principle governing the manifestation of life which is the Principle of Polarity.

According to this principle, two complementary forces make up everything that exists, and in this dynamic equilibrium, all movement and mutation arise. This law covers the world of duality. These forces are composed of two elements: 1. - passive, feminine, nocturnal, dark, cold, having a negative character, also called Yin and 2. - active, masculine, diurnal, bright, warm, positive role, also named Yang.

These dual elements are in truth complementary in nature, and

there is no hierarchy between them. In electricity, the positive and the negative are necessary to produce energy and therefore the manifestation of light.

Starting from these two principles (Gunas and Polarities) and through the combination of the different factors, the result is the manifestation of the primary 12 archetypes.

From the one (Divinity) is made the two (Polarity) and this is manifested in number three (Trinity). From the combination of number three (Trinity-Gunas) is made the four (Elements), making the seven (3 + 4) and the combination of these results the 12 (3 × 4), as we can summarize in the Archetypes, constellation’ symbols and their meaning in Astrology.

Archetypes and patterns of thought and behavior.

Many schools of psychology that use the interpretive method tend to pay attention to the meaning of the events that have occurred to the patient to decipher the conflict they involve according to their symbolic contents. Most of these schools only observe past conflicting events in the Omtimes.com

patient’s experience. However, Analytic Psychology, developed

by Carl G. Jung, acknowledged that there are forces that produce specific patterns of thought and behavior housed in the impersonal part of the psyche that constitutes the Collective Unconscious. These patterns gave them the name of Archetypes.

All esoteric schools (inner knowledge), including Hinduism and Buddhism, adopted and established astrology as the proper method for observing, studying, analyzing and interpreting the nature of these energies that underlie the psyche of every person.

Astrology has been made a bad name by the determinist and dogmatic interpretations of the past; the little seriousness with which many “apprentices of sorcerer” are dedicated to predicting the future of naïve individuals; and the proliferation of daily generic horoscopes that are no more than, at best, just that, generic rather baseless interpretations.

Astrology is an invaluable

Omtimes.com

tool to access this dark territory of planetary symbols as manifestations of these archetypal energies lodged in our unconscious. We must also consider that in our natal chart each planet has a fixed position that is “activated” about the planetary transits that happen in the course of our life.

Sun: Represents the essence that is familiar to us and that we can trust. Thus, water signs will rely on their emotional nature; those of earth in the concrete and objective; those of air in their intellectual and mental capacity; and, those of fire, in their will and expression of their being.

Moon: It represents the mother, or our emotion, and the need to be protected in our vulnerable areas. It also describes what nourishes us and our impulsive unconscious response.

Mercury: Represents our mental activity, the way we communicate with others and our ability to learn, how we structure and mentally develop our life experience.

Venus: Represents our ability

to love and establish meaningful relationships with others. Also, the kind of environment we need to feel comfortable and the scope of our sensuality and sensitivity.

Mars: It is the impulse of the ego and our need to affirm ourselves in front of the world and others: our self-determination. It also expresses our sexual drive and our ability to overcome the challenges that come our way in life.

Jupiter: Expands and instills faith to grow in that area of ​​the letter you are in. Like a second sun, generously sprinkle lucky occasions to stimulate our confidence.

is the father of all inventions and innovations.

Neptune: It is related to our ideals and our connection to our spiritual and transcendent nature, as well as our ability to be compassionate and the activities that help mitigate the suffering of others.

Pluto: The planet of regeneration.

It implies that for something to be born, something must die. Prevents stagnation and represents the inexorable force of change and the instinctive drives of Eros and Thanatos.

Saturn: It’s your turn to play the role of the villain in the movie. It is our principle of mundane reality. The time and space that limit our existence. However, even though it confronts us with an inescapable truth, it helps us to test ourselves and recognize our actual capacities. It also represents the austere father figure.

There is much that this concept of Archetypes as references that can contribute to the knowledge of the energies that could influence our human behavior. Archetypes are beyond this plane of reality, but that they end up manifesting in this plane of existence. In such a way, that by recognizing them, we can realize our weaknesses and know how to take advantage of our strengths.

Uranus: Represents the unusual and unconventional. Its nature is to produce abrupt change, so that we find alternative ways of interpreting our reality. Uranus

Overcome Limiting Beliefs So You Can Stay on the Path to Success

by Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD

My doubles tennis partner and I were playing in the championship of a tournament and far ahead of our opponents and if we were to win the next point, we would win the match.

But suddenly, our limiting beliefs got the better of us: We started to play not to lose. Instead of

Omtimes.com

continuing to play as we had, we became afraid that something would go wrong and we would lose that point, then the set, and then the match. We sabotaged ourselves by being too cautious and fearful of making mistakes.

It reminded me that if you want to overcome limiting beliefs, you have to recognize the fearful belief that underlies them.

For my tennis partner and I, the fear was that we could not count on our streak of excellent playing to continue, that our luck would run out. The truth was we were playing especially well due to our hard work at building our skills individually and as a team. Our mindsets had not yet caught up with the truth that we were playing better than ever. Our fear was that playing as we had been would not be good enough to win.

How often do you prematurely change a winning life strategy?

All of us have limiting beliefs based in our past experiences, and they can get in the way once we start to see evidence that those beliefs are no longer true. A person who finally begins to lose weight and stick to an

exercise and eating pattern that is keeping the weight off may look back at the past and think, “I have to be wary. I start out great but always end up reverting to the old habits.”

Limiting beliefs can sabotage your ability to fully trust that circumstances have changed— and that you have changed.

Whether your old, limiting belief is, “I am never going to exercise regularly and eat well,” “I’m unlucky at love,” “I’m not a winner,” or something else, when you let it influence your thinking in the present, you end up playing not to lose—but then do.

The past does not have to determine your perceptions about yourself. Old, limiting beliefs can cause you to unknowingly sabotage yourself. If your successes are new, give yourself credit for making positive changes.

Perhaps you are more mindful of your movements, or you now work more collaboratively with others. Perhaps you have built new skills that are serving you well. Don’t assume that your successes are due only to luck that can change quickly. Take the time to give yourself credit for what you have done well to get you to where you are now.

Omtimes.com

It’s never too late to rethink the strategy of trying not to lose. You can overcome your limiting beliefs of the past and recognize that you are capable of achieving success at this moment in your life. Identify what those limiting beliefs about yourself are and then consciously choose to change them. Ask yourself, “What beliefs would I like to hold instead”?

“What do I need to let go of?”

One way to overcome limiting beliefs and replace them with more desirable ones that support your success is to find a somewhat secluded spot out in nature and become quiet and fully present in the moment, focusing on your breath as you inhale and exhale. Observe yourself as part of nature and, like, nature, changing as new things come to life and old things die away. As you feel yourself more relaxed, and connected to the force of nature that surrounds you, you can ask three questions, allowing plenty of time for the answers to arise within you.

All of us can change our luck, change our beliefs, and change the stories of our lives by using the power of the mind. Working with your unconscious, letting its wisdom guide you as you become quiet and reflective, can help you ensure that you overcome limiting beliefs, stop self-sabotaging, and move forward on the path to success. Recommit to the possibility that you can achieve your goals, and acknowledge that now, you are playing to win.

“What do I need to know right now so that I stop playing to lose?”

Omtimes.com

“What do I need to bring in?”

When you are finished, think about what you learned and how you can apply it to your life. What beliefs do you want to say goodbye to so that you can play to win, not to lose? What beliefs do you want to instill? How will you affirm them and make them a part of your mindset?

How to Empower the Perspective of Ourselves, Others and the World

by Crystal Presence

Exploring the nature of our perceptions. Acknowledging where some of our perspectives are draining and misusing our personal power.

Ways we can bring forth a new context of living by changing and empowering our perspectives.

Omtimes.com

How healthy are our perspectives of others, the world and ourselves? Even with our best intentions, we can find ourselves like a fish in water. Going through life with habitual patterns of how we think, feel and act in the world. We trick ourselves into believing that our perspective, our worldview, is just “how life is” and necessary to survive.

We pretend that our lives are “fine” while perpetuating an epidemic of disconnection, isolation, and suffering. What if we acknowledged our power draining perspectives such as overworking, avoiding emotions, creating drama, overthinking and other ways we misuse who we are? What would happen if we created a whole new context of living based on new and expanding perspectives?

Below are a few ways to expedite this process…

1) Asking ourselves powerful questions such as, “What is the nature of experiencing full alignment with myself and my source?”

2) Observing and admitting the details of how we disconnect and hold ourselves back. We can make this easier with Riso and Hudson’s book, The Wisdom of the Enneagram; an excellent resource for recognizing our current perspectives, core motivations and how we misuse or use our greatest strengths The Enneagram is a quick way to understand ourselves with extraordinary clarity and compassion for ourselves and others. It teaches us how to set ourselves free by recognizing our perspectives and changing the ways we think, feel and behave. The following is a list of prominent perspectives for each of the nine personality types outlined in the book.

Each of the types is sabotaged by a belief that “We will feel free when…

• We can get things and people organized and in perfect order. Then we can relax, and everything in our lives will be perfect. We can

Omtimes.com

keep our lives together by organizing things and getting people to shape up and do things the right. By making “to do” lists and being sure that everything gets done in the perfect and right way.

• We have met everyone’s needs. Then life will be better, and people will like us and meet our own needs.

We will make this happen by anticipating people’s needs, providing what they need, advising them on what is good for them and trying to fix them.

• We have achieved and accomplished the things that we need to. Then we will have value, be successful, be highly competent, the best, have others think well of us and everything will be fine.

• We can prove there is something wrong with us.

So we can justify why we feel so powerless to be normal like everyone else and take responsibility for our lives.

We will prove that there is something wrong with us

Omtimes.com

with emotional overwhelm, drama and be provoking so that people avoid us. We will fantasize about how life was and how it could be.

• We have gained all the knowledge we need. We will have a grip on things to survive. We will get the knowledge we need by isolating ourselves and trying to block out our needs. We will be sure not to get involved in anyone else’s needs. Observing, but not getting too involved with the other people. We will take in more and more information, analyzing it before taking action.

• We have proved that life is not a scary and that we can trust people. When we are not worried about being unable to take care of ourselves. We will survive by finding a few people that we can trust, and rely on what they think, be loyal, not trust authorities (even though we depend on them) and find ways to deal with our constant anxiety.

• We have totally escaped the discomfort of our feelings and know that our lives will always be full of exciting experiences. Until then, we will be on the go all the time. We will keep it all going by always planning what our next experience will be, entertaining everyone and being in a continual state of motion so no one can tie us down.

• We can know that we will never need to be vulnerable again.

Meanwhile, we will be keeping the upper hand by being overly assertive, and in charge of the situation, so we do not have to risk being hurt again. We will deal with this by not feeling our feelings too deeply, preventing ourselves from being vulnerable and being the boss of the others around us.

• We have a life that is free of conflict. Meanwhile, we will stay neutral and pretend that nothing bothers

us and negotiate all the problems around us, so at least life feels better. We will negotiate our lives by staying on the sideline and out of the way so that we are not a target. We forget our needs and our lives, merging with and focusing on everyone else. Doing what we can to keep the peace, understanding both sides of the story and helping negate the reality around us.
