Learn to Live From the Heart

Are you empowered to live the life you’ve always wanted to live?

Here’s your invitation to meet the friends you wish you’d grown up with at the

ENCINO COMMUNITY CHURCH with over fifty years of community enrichment, an all-inclusive circle of Love that seeks to make a difference just as we are.

“What Follows Christmas? Life”

The year 2014 is a clean slate upon which we can fill in the spaces to look like last year or we can live the spaces in a new, exciting way. The choice is ours. There is no right or wrong choice. There is depression, there is apathy, there is anger, there is isolation. But then these are the natural effects of reliving instead of creating. There is joy, there is mystery, there is risk, there is the unknown that lures us beyond the safety of repression in allowing ourselves to be led and guided. “What will the year 2014 be for me?” Probably the best year of my life so far. Why? Because I’m not afraid to live anymore and I find that God has an infallible system that guarantees me growth, happiness, tears, laughter, loss and love. What will the year 2014 be for you! Life is waiting for you to decide!

Peter Brown,

Author,Teacher Reality Seeker Peter Brown is a life-long compulsive student of reality. He has accumulated an in-depth practical understanding of: Raja, Jnana, Bhakti Yoga, Karma, Quabalah, Western occultism, Tarot, Shamanism, Dzogchen, Taoism, Tantra, Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism amongst other Spiritual Traditions.

WP: Peter Brown good afternoon to you. Let’s start off with a little narrative, history with went on with you as a young man. What was life like when you were just a wee little one?

PB: I was born in the fifties, so I was raised in a strange world. I grew up in New England and all my life I have been a questioning soul and not content with the status quo and wanting to get to the bottom of things. When I was young I thought I might go into science because I figured that that would be a good vehicle for exploration.

WP: Sure. Let me ask you. When you speak of your questioning soul when did you recognize that you were a questioning soul?

PB: I always was, I guess I was not self aware, it was just my very nature. I guess I was surprised to discover that other people or many other people didn’t seem to be so, inquisitive as I was by nature. I guess in my later childhood, in my teenage years I began to notice that.

WP:O.K. So, you had the typical kind of childhood back East? Anything unusual or just the run of the mill events that happen for all of us?

Interviewed by Tony Camacho

PB: I guess so. I don’t know, nothing that was too far out of the ordinary.

WP:Typical caregivers were mom and dad?

PB: Yes, I was raised by family. My family was a little bit dysfunctional. My parents split up of course in my early childhood and then I went of with my mother and she remarried at one point.

But otherwise, I guess my childhood wasn’t too outstanding in any superficial regard.

WP: Well divorce can be an exceptionally tough time when your parents split up. It takes some guidance to move through that process.

PB: Sure. True and again, it contributed to my unsettledness in my questioning nature and being motivated to look into things, I suppose.

WP: And in that sense, there is a little bit of the Silver Lining.

PB Well you know, I guess trials and tribulations can be good motivators to question the status quo (laughs).

WP: I always feel that they are our best motivators. They seem often to

push us in directions that we don’t want to go at the time, but we have to go anyway.

PB: Sure enough, yeah.

WP: Were you religious at all as a young man, as a young boy?

PB No, I would say sort of secular humanist. My parents were both intelligent; I was exposed to a lot of scientific thought, anthropology and human history and just various sorts of things I suppose.

WP:And then from there into high school. Were there any unusual events that popped up for you there?

PB: No, I would not say so. I wasn’t particularly socially adept. I was not on the football team or the child Victorian in my class or anything like that.

WP: (Laughs) As you said earlier you were intrigued by science, so did you immerse yourself a little more in science as you got older? What was it that fueled you back then?

PB Well I immersed myself in all batches of inquiry that I came across. I was interested in Science, I was interested in Sociology. I was interested in

History. I was interested in the astounding range in human cultural world views, the way primitive people look, the way they viewed the world so drastically different and their philosophies. They viewed the world from such a radically different perspectives.

I was fascinated about all of this and I was curious to approach it in my own terms and see if any made sense to me.

WP:And did you see it as an unusual behavior in away, so much that where perhaps your friends or perhaps none of your friends were quite as curious or curious in the same way or the same degree as you were about these different issues?

PB: Well, yes. I can see that I was in the minority, and I had few close friends. Maybe the majority of my classmates were more interested in let’s say typical, social pursuits and such.

WP:They were more interested in the Friday night football game and who won. Their concerns as to who was dating who?

PB: Exactly.

WP: It’s certainly part of the teenage years and what most of go through.

As you finished high school and as you started to give thought into what you may be doing in college, perhaps work, what was it like for you coming to that decision?

PB: I was a musician. I stumbled onto music in my later childhood and enjoyed that immensely, so I pursued that. I went out of High School and went on to performed professionally.

WP:Oh good! That is fantastic.

PB: It was at the time (Laughs).

WP: So you went into music and bypassed college?

PB Yes, and well I one point I actually went back to college and decided to study physics. I was engage in that for several years but then I realized what physicists spend time in the real world doing. It was then much less interesting to me so I phased out of that.

WP:O.K PB: But Professionally, I was a performing musician. I wanted a certain amount of latitude with free time and all.

WP: So you pursued music as a career then. You were out there playing and getting paid to do so?

PB: Yes. WP:How long a period did you engage in that way with your world?

PB: Oh Gosh. Quite a long time, maybe 15 years or so.

WP: Was music something that opened this other door for you?

PB: Not so much. Music was something I enjoyed. It gave me a means of social engagement and I continued to pursue music more or less on my own time. It allowed me to continue on with my investigation of what is going on here.

WP:O.K. And then I will make an assumption and correct me if I am wrong.

As you continued to pursue music, and as you were in that world, were you a single man or where you married?

PB No, I was a single man. I was not married at the time. I had girlfriends I suppose. I was basically single.

WP: And when did the inquiry shift into deeper level? Perhaps you connected with some of the Yogis or the Gurus?

PB: Not so much. I investigated all sorts of things and pretty much I took a scattered shotgun kind of approach, which is a little bit of everything. But I stumbled on to a friend of my mothers who seemed to be a very interesting guy to me. He was an Archeologist and I was told that he was a psychic. I thought this was kind of interesting. So I became interested in him and I started spending time with him.

WP:Yes, sounds like an interesting connection.

PB He seemed to enjoy my company.

He was considerably older than I was. I was in my late teens, early twenties at that time and he was a mature man.

WP:So you were exposed to that element, that gift in a way of having psychic abilities?

PB: Well not so much that explicitly.

I was around him and just by osmosis, I suppose there was some kind of deep communication between us and I came to understand. I came to see the way he moved through his world, what this experience was like, what his world was like. I came to see my own experience in a very profound way. I guess you can say it was a mystical experience. I came to see that the world and my experiences drastically different than what I thought it to be, with this new perspective. I stumbled upon this just spending time with him.

WP:How old were you at this time?

PB: Twenty-three.

WP: Twenty three, o.k. And where there people in your world that you had assembled as mentors? Maybe from some books that you read, that really intrigued you and you wanted to connect more in that way?

PB: Not so much. I was kind of a real…… I don’t know.

WP:Free thinker?

PB: No, I was real curious. I guess I didn’t have direct exposure to people who I felt a real respect for. Now, at a later time, I guess, let me see …I met Swami Muktananda who I respected a lot. I know he has come to be discredited a lot for his social behavior, but from a spiritual point of view I did and do respect him very much.

WP:And were there others as came in contact with?

PB: No, not so much. I was always on my own. I had this experience, this world view that I had stumbled on rather unintentionally thrust itself upon me. At this point, I guess my investigation really kicked into high gear with religions and philosophies. All aspects and all kinds of ways of interpreting what was going on, in the hope that other people were seeing. Were there any other people that see the way I do?

And I was surprised to find that I disagreed with most everyone.

WP: That is funny. So now in the explorative process, was there a process where you’re going out into your world and visiting different countries and different Ashrams or different Gurus?

PB: No, no, not so much that, more in writing and in formal presentations.

I did have some personal contact with some Tibetans Buddhist and a few other people. Mostly I was disenchanted with all this organized sort of religious approach to things. I respected the work of some individual Yogis that I had encountered but I didn’t cross paths with any of these people.

WP:You didn’t become a disciple of anyone.

PB: No. WP:And were you still playing music at that time or had you let that go?

PB: No, no I had been playing music off and on around this period, and into

the late seventies. Then I got married and my wife and I moved to California and I opened up a recording studio. I had a recording studio for almost a decade.

WP:Quite a while.

PB: So professionally, that was what I was doing. And at the same time I was investigating while I was pursuing all of this.

WP:You were a busy man. So you were in the bay area or Southern California?

PB: Yes, in San Francisco Bay Area.

WP:Very nice! Are you still married?

PB: We’ve been married ever since then. We have two children and no complaints.

WP: Excellent. Very exciting, congratulations. How do your children see the way you look at your world?

PB: I think they respect it. I think they are intrigued by it. I think they are influenced by it. But they are not spiritually or philosophically orientated. They are both artists. But they are intelligent sensitive people and they are not gullible and they are not conformist.

WP:That’s wonderful. And your wife is she in alignment with you? In the way you think and the way you see your world?

PB: In many regards I would say so.

But for my wife, I would say that I am her nemesis, I suppose.

WP: An enjoyable nemesis. That is funny. So when did you begin teaching?

PB: Well I started teaching more along the lines of what I am doing now in 2005, I think. A couple of years before that, I had been at the request of some people, I had been teaching Tarot. The course and classes that I was coming up with, started branching and with a larger view than specifically Continued on Page 11

strictly Tarot per say. Some of the participants were very interested in this and asked me if I could consider pursuing this more open ended. So the presentation is how it evolved eventually into what I am doing now.

WP: In taking a step back a little bit, what connected you to the Tarot?

PB: As part of my investigations early on in my teenage years, I was very interested in Western Occultism and I also discovered the theories of Kabala.

The Tarot was a part of that and then Western Occult groups and all of the various teachings and world views and what have you.

WP: Had you explored WICCA at all?

PB: Not per say, no I was interested in some of the more I guess I don’t know how to classify it.

WP: Mainstream Spirituality?

PB: Not so much mainstream spirituality, more on the lines of occultism and ritual magic and all of this. I

thought it was fascinating that these people think they can talk to spirits and they can communicate with God. I thought “What is up with that”? (Both laugh) So I was fascinated, looking to all that was going on to makes sense of it to correlate with reality. The tarot is an aspect of it, it’s essentially a map of different ways that experiential energy or consciousness can be the reality of this being, all of a precise map very comprehensively of all of these various modes that are possible, which is very fascinating to me.

WP: So as you journeyed along what connected you to get involved with exploring the ego, to duality and so forth?

How did you get into that area?

PB: Well, it came in part and parcel with the whole thing. The essential question is: What is going on here?

What is the reality? What is the inter relationships with all of this?

WP: Hmm, so as your investigative process deepens what was it that was revealed to you?

PB: Well. it is kind of funny because

the investigation did not deepen very much. The experience I had persisted and remained very clear and strong.

I could not make sense of it in terms of anything else I had been exposed to in my twenties. So I thought well, am I crazy? A lot of the investigation at this point in my twenties or thirties and thereafter, was sort of more into the fine points of the other traditions, looking to criticized some of these traditions. For me, it was not so much a development or a revelation as it was a refinement of having a perspective on what it was that I had discovered. The experience I had when I was 23 was extremely non linear and very strange to me. It was extreme contrast to conscious reality, or our normal human world view that you know the average person describes.

WP: Let us touch on that profound experience that is the core to going into a different world and deriving at a whole different perspective.

PB: Yeah sure. I saw very directly that my being was the fundamental being and that the world and all phenomContinued on Page 27

Start the New Year off with Your Next Bold Move You

BY WENDY CAPLAND

feel it, don’t you? The desire to answer your soul’s call for purpose and fulfillment. Can you feel it coming? It’s the bold move that will undoubtedly change your life in the best ways possible.

We’ve all experienced the sensation of standing at the edge of something big….

VERY BIG! The first step is recognizing that you are enough and that because you are enough, you have all the power you need to manifest and express your full potential.

But how do you figure out what it is you truly want?

CHECK YOUR INNER STATE First and foremost, check your inner state.

You need to be able to recognize what is calling you forward before you can listen to it and determine the appropriate action. Ask your heart to finish the following sentences:

“I feel _____ about my life right now.”

(Happy, satisfied, out of sorts, confused, etc.)

“The area of my life that I want to be different is______.”

Try journaling about the experience that is causing your dissatisfaction. Awaken the voice inside you that is trying to get out. The more attention you give to trying to hear this voice, the louder it will speak to you.

“

A body overstressed and overworked won’t be likely to create anything except for burnout and chaos!

“

GIVE YOURSELF A TIME-OUT Next, give yourself a time-out! It is critically important to allow your heart and your mind a quiet opportunity to speak to each other. One of the greatest gifts you can offer yourself is a few moments of guilt-free peace. Our brains sort through our greatest life challenges when we are at rest or play, so give your mind a vacation; it will serve you up tremendous information and inspiration to take action on.

LISTEN UP TO YOUR INTUITION Once your inner voice is awake and you have allowed yourself a quiet moment to hear her, it’s time to listen. What idea keeps floating around in your mind? Is there something that you feel in your gut over and over again? This is your intuition trying to tell you something. Recognizing the interference of your intuition takes practice. Test and evaluate the results of your intuition without fear of right and wrong. Just listen and see what happens. After awhile, you will start to trust what your voice is telling you.

PREPARE FOR THE GAME Preparing for the game is the 4th step in making your next bold move. Preparing for the game, means taking great care of your body, mind and spirit. Like an Olympic athlete, preparing yourself to play the game physically, emotionally and spiritually are critical to the results you will create. A body overstressed and overworked won’t be likely to create anything except for burnout and chaos! Physically, it is important to honor your body and provide it with the fuel to keep you moving. Preparing your mind for the game consists of learning and growth with regards to your passion. Knowledge is power and provides confidence for your journey Preparing your spirit involves anything that brings you peace: meditation, a good book, a walk in the woods, etc.

GET CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT Next, you need to get clear about what you want. Learning to listen deeply and trust your inner guidance is paramount in getting crystal clear about what your true desires are.

Bringing those desires to fruition is made possible by harnessing a balanced approach to masculine and feminine energy. Ask your analytical mind if it likes the idea (masculine) and then ask your heart if it feels right (feminine).

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH EXTREME SUPPORT Step 6 is to surround yourself with those people you want close to you through this process. Make a list of your biggest personal and professional supporters and designate someone who might be a good coach/mentor for you to help move you through your next bold move. Get used to asking for support and surrounding yourself with cheerleaders versus with all the people that need care and tending for a change.

GATHER IN PURPOSEFUL COMMUNITY Along with extreme supporters, you will also need to gather a purposeful community. Collecting a group of like-minded people who will be there to encourage you and share with you the same focus, passion or vision. These people could be essential to moving you forward and supporting you in a way that personal supporters cannot.

GENERATE SOME S.T.E.A.M. Now comes the fun part; it’s time to generate some STEAM! STEAM is an acronym for an active process that will propel you forward and turn your vision into a reality: ✔ Step into action ✔ Tweak what’s not working ✔ Execute and experiment ✔ Act again ✔ Measure your results each step along the way.

DANCE AND WEAVE The final step to achieving your next bold move is to dance through the steps easily and weave your masculine and feminine energy together so that your journey is fun and fulfilling.

The most important concept I want you to walk away with, is that you can achieve absolutely ANY goal you set for yourself. You simply need to acknowledge your power, get clear about what your intuition wants you to accomplish, and make it happen! It’s okay to be afraid and unsure of how it will all play out. If your heart is calling for it and your head thinks it’s a pretty good idea too, then you really have no choice but to take action. And, if your goal changes somewhere along the way, that’s okay too! Simply starting out on this journey could lead you to opportunities that were beyond your wildest dreams. So, start the New Year off with Your Next Bold Move and watch your life fall magnificently into place!

Transform Your Life WITHOUT

New Year’s Resolutions!

BY HOLLISTER RAND

T

he New Year holiday affords us the opportunity to reflect on the year past and begin anew. However, it can also be a time of promises made to create a better self which when broken brings guilt and disappointment.

Last New Year’s Day during a time of reflection, I had a vision of myself carrying two suitcases.

However, instead of continuing on the path with two suitcases, I saw myself put one down and walk forward carrying only one.

In my mind I heard, “What do you want to take with you? What do you want to leave behind?”

In that moment of insight, I decided that rather than making resolutions, it might be more effective to view the year past in terms of what experiences, ways of thinking and living I wanted to leave behind while looking toward the new year in terms of what I wanted to bring forward.

I’ve discovered this to be a simple, yet powerful way to achieve clarity of purpose without creating long life improvement lists at the start of a new year.

I ask these two questions of

myself and the spirits regularly without judging experiences to be positive or negative. Setting aside judgment allows me to notice upon reflection that positive experiences can reveal a shadow side I hadn’t noticed or negative experiences can be transformed by taking positive action. This particular perspective is very spirit like, it can help us side step self-criticism and appreciate the value of all experience. We can then objectively decide what to take with us and what to leave behind. Releasing unbeneficial thought patterns is a big step toward total transformation.

The possibility for transformation is available to us throughout the

year, not just in January. Loved ones in spirit support our physical, emotional and spiritual “makeovers.”

For instance, during a recent session, I communicated with a father in spirit who made it clear that the hawk appearing regularly in his daughter’s yard was a sign that he was encouraging her to be a hawk. At first, this was a puzzling message but all was made clear. He apologized for instructing his daughter to remain quiet as a mouse, “keep the peace,” and not stand up for herself when she was young. Consequently, his daughter grew up in a household where she didn’t have a voice, or felt that anyone

21

During a spirit circle, a father in spirit came to speak with his daughter and granddaughter. He acknowledged how his alcoholism had catapulted his daughter into a life of anxiety, super-responsible and controlling behavior and judgment against him. He recognized that his legacy had far reaching effects and that his granddaughter had married into a family struggling with loss due to drug abuse. This father in spirit was asking his daughter to leave behind her anger at his failures and move forward toward life free of fear. She was willing to leave behind what had been causing her pain for so long and I have no doubt that by this time next year, her life will be transformed.

Even a simple intention can elicit a helpful response from the spirits. For instance, at a recent circle, a mother in spirit flashed the image of a photo album into my mind and gave me the sense that her daughter was putting all the family photos in order. “Well, I was thinking about it,” the daughter replied.

From the spirits’ perspective

thinking is reality! In thinking about intentions for 2014, consider that change may be as easy as thought.

Can the spirits actually help us make the changes we desire? Yes, I think so. During a private session, a young man in spirit let me know that his mother was facing a

“

“

would look out for her needs.

The hawk in her yard was a living symbol he brought to represent her desired transformation - - from timid mouse to majestic and powerful hawk. It was important to him that his daughter understood his support for her choice to live as a majestic, powerful being.

life with diabetes, but that she could improve the prognosis by losing weight. The young man in spirit went on to say that he was going to help her find a way to have fun while getting

healthier. He didn’t specify how that was going to happen.

Less than a week later, I received an email from his mother. Some of her co-workers had decided to walk around a local park during lunchtime and “out of the blue” asked if she wanted to join.

These “out of the blue” inspired solutions to a challenge are often the spirits’ way of supporting intentions.

You don’t need a medium to include your loved ones in spirit as you commit to a shift into 2014. By setting aside some quiet time at the beginning of the year and inviting loved ones and guides to join you, you create the space for change. As you reflect on what has happened during the previous year as well as your feelings about those experiences, observe patterns of behavior that emerge. Ask “What do I want to leave behind? What do I want to take with me?” By answering those questions you’ve already set your intentions for the New Year. Write down any inspirations you receive during your quiet time and check in periodically.

As the first month of the year falls into routine, be assured that loved ones in spirit will be guiding you through the transition, co-creating a new way of living with you and celebrating your transformation.

God

is as close to you as your

next breath

Soul Transcendence is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one

with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. Your Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts, or your feelings. MSIA provides tools and techniques for experiencing your Soul and your own Divinity. We focus on how to incorporate spirituality into everyday life in a workable way. We call it “practical spirituality.” It allows you to tune more and more to your Soul and to increasingly live from that awareness.

“All that you want to be, you already are.

All you have to do is move your awareness there and recognize the reality of your own Soul.”

PEACE A Wish to All

Peace is a home inside of you, where you enter through the front door with your backbone vertical, heart held out and head held high. Peace is entwined with a fabric of color, of a multiplicity of sounds, of the vibrant and the very subtle, of the tactile and the imagery. It is by its own unique design impregnated with an ownership of responsibility, with an innate knowing of which road to follow. Peace is not dissuaded by hazardous roadways or cumbersome detours nor given to the ever-present persuasiveness of consensus opinion. It is infused with a passion, with the resilience of a willow but carries in its brawny stalk the strength and longevity of an oak.

Peace is laced with fibers of equanimity that bestow a flavor of Zen into its being. It is sheathed in a blanket of heart substance which holds within its pleats a fierce yearning to spread itself across the cashmere surface of a million velvet hearts. Peace comes from a cavernous place inside that goes unnoticed, that we tip toe by as though it belonged to an-

other. Peace is excavated by the sheer force of a growing consciousness exerting a relentless pressure upon it. This force gives rise to its presence and to its power. It is strengthened, then buttressed by its part that never operates out of an arena of self serving intent but is moved and enlivened from an intrinsic knowing of one’s interconnectedness.

Peace is the glue which bonds all the ‘I’s together, melding and blending them, distilling then into a single body. It streams forth when the ‘I’s dissipate, when our hearts become expansive, when their elasticity stretches to the corners of the universe. Then, with tauten heart, with their color bled

and the judgments squeezed from their essence, their bodies and skin becomes infinitesimally thin and beautifully diaphanous. In this evanesced moment we see the illusion of something we thought as tangible.

Something we held in our hand evaporates and time vanishes. Our hearts meld, we are a mist fallen upon the surface of a vast ocean where our identity is lost but uncovered is the knowing of our inexorable link to this cosmic energy we swim in.

This cosmic body breaths and undulates, it dances to the rythmic movement of its own unremitting beat as we experience a coherence, sensate the magnitude and the power of a union.

We feel a singular beat and a collective breath. We inhale, experience the lungs of the many taking in all and the once unflinching line of delineation is eradicated, no longer visible to the common eye of a unified heart………….and peace is everywhere your heart is.

From my velvet heart to your cashmere one, Peace, Love and Happy New Year!

ena basically existed in me. It is essentially a direct and intuitive apprehension of all the different circumstances that seem to present themselves experimentally, essentially like a dream. You can tell within a transcendental consciousness which is what I am, which is all that exist. I had this experience out of the blue with no preparation on my own.

My friend was not a spiritual teacher or anything like that with philosophical frame around it. It was just like wham!

WP:Yeah and there it was the experiential part of the knowing that you are in a sense the universe in a way within yourself and that you are also in a sense God like or God? PB: Yes, very literally, yes very specifically.

WP: Well that is a big mouthful to swallow if you are twenty-three.

PB: Well tell me about it!

WP: It can steer you to a lot of different places indeed.

PB: It completely threw me for a loop. I was dumbfounded and confused and I thought I was going crazy.

There was virtually no support for it that I was aware of at the time.

WP:And you had no outside resources and no one in your world essentially that could kind of buffer your thoughts?

PB: Except this one, again the one friend. But in the case of him he was not a philosopher or teacher or any-

thing like that. His support was more of a validation of that he experienced his world in a similar way because there was not a lot of explanation or support for the whole thing.

tainly aware that what I present is rather unique. It is not completely unique in some sense, because some of those spiritual teachers present things that are pretty for out.

WP:That is a big mountain to get past, to come to some resolution.

PB: Well, it was because I was seeing things clearly in a very direct way and no one around me was seeing things as far as I was aware, explicitly anything like it all. It was drastically different from the normal world view. It raises the question “who is creating it”? Is it someone else or I am creating it?

WP: So from the cards you moved into a different kind of area with the whole non duality approach.

PB: In a sense I had never classified it as non-duality but I can understand doing that. To me, it is simply a question of looking nakedly at what experience actually consist of without preconceptions. Most consensus reality has interpretation; they have a lot of preconceptions that people reinforce with each other. Our language reinforces and culture reinforces it. We are human beings, we are all separate you know, we all inhabit our bodies. If your consciousness is nothing but a byproduct of your brain chemistry and you’re just a walking chemical machine in a vast environment that is more or less at least a challenge, that is a downright problem and you have to figure out how to get along and it is a feeling of separation and a feeling of challenge and all of these implications of typical modern world view. And I was considering or presenting something drastically different from that and I would encourage people as a method or as an approach to simply look at what you know for certain to be true. It is a matter of discriminating between preconceptions that don’t have particularly any kind of authority. The body appears in the experiential field, so the assumption that the experiential field is just a byproduct of the body is just a logical claim. There is

WP: Yes, exactly. When the numbers weigh out on the other side, it puts more weight on the question “Am I crazy”?

PB: Absolutely and I was a young kid I was in my early twenties. And I was not exactly particularly confident or mature or anything or sure in anyway.

WP: Sure, it makes it difficult. So life went on, you learned a great deal and investigated and garnered and gleamed more information as you journeyed and then in 2005 you began teaching. What was the impetus that led you to go ahead and teach?

PB: Well again. I had been doing it sort of briefly in the context of this Tarot course where I was just presenting my understanding of Tarot. And people seemed to be enjoying it and many people requested that I go more into this open ended direction and presentation.

I thought well maybe I will try it. Because I was a little wary of it, I was cer-

4 Ways Your Darkest Moment

28 28

Could Be The Beginning Of Your Life Change

by Mark Bowness

Founder of New Year’s Revolution

As I woke up, a dark misty haze was swirling around my mind. The moment that I recognized that I was in a hospital bed, the events of the past 24 hours came f looding through my mind. I had tried to take my own life. At the age of 26 years old, my marriage had ended, and along with it, the nonprofit organization that I had worked so passionately to grow, was pulled from under me. At that moment in time, living ceased to be an option.

After a seven-year relationship, my wife had walked out of the door, never to return--and as I sat in our apartment surrounded by everything we had built together, the future looked dark and overwhelming. It was a future that I was certain I was not willing to endure.

I will always maintain that my attempt at wiping my existence off the face of the planet was the best thing to happen to me; it totally changed my life. Whether it’s the end of a relationship, the struggle to get a job, or an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and lack of direction, we all experience “dark moments” in life. It is these most difficult times that can turn out to be the most profound.

Let me share with you four ways that your darkest moments could be the making of your life, should you choose to see this as a new doorway.

Forced self-intimacy When life takes you to the darkest places, absolutely no one around you can understand how you feel or what you are going through. Others may have had a similar experience, but only you can react to your situations the way that you do. During our tough times, we are forced to stare at ourselves eye-ball to eyeball, as though we are standing in

the mirror and gazing deep into our very soul. As we engage in these moments of forced self-intimacy, we make crucial decisions that redefine who we are, what we want and what we are willing to accept or not accept for our lives.

It is the choices that we are forced to make, during this dark period, that lay the foundation of our powerful life change.

Blank canvas opportunity We absolutely take life way too much for granted. Trying to end my life was my awakening moment to this truth. I truly recognized with my head and my heart that we live life only once and so I made a decision to view my life as a blank canvas, to start again and paint whatever picture I so desired for my future. My darkest moment became my catalyst to pursuing life in all its fullness.

Benchmarked experience When we experience a powerful life situation and nothing feels as though it could get any worse, we

a moment of awakening There are times in our lives when everything piles on top of us, and as a result, we make decisions for our lives that are not healthy, nor wise - wrong relationships, poor choices in behaviour patterns, addictions and more. Friends and loved ones may tell us we are on a destructive path, but we don’t listen, as it is a path that brings us comfort in the moment. I truly believe that there are times in our lives that we are given a place to breakdown. It is through this “breaking down experience,” we undergo a powerful transformation, letting go of all that no longer serves us, arriving at a moment of awakening. now we rebuild ourselves, truly discovering who we are, what we are about and everything that we stand for-from the ground up. These are the powerful moments of true awakening.

”

have then built a foundation of experience on which to construct the rest of our lives. nothing could be any worse than trying to take your own life, and so I launched a bold and daring business idea - if I went bankrupt it could never be as bad as non-existence. The tough times that we endure give us a place of reference and offer the motivation to continue. When we realize that we have endured ‘X’, and ‘X’ was horrific and terrible, yet we are still standing--then we are filled with the hope that we can get through the smaller battles each day.

i made a decision to view my life as a blank canvas, to start again and paint whatever picture i so desired for my future.

My darkest moment became my catalyst to pursuing life in all its fullness.

”

29

If you are on the precipice as we approach the dawn of this new Year, I encourage you to not simply endure your life, but to embrace it.

In fact, so you won’t need to go through this alone, I’ve created a free online community called new Year’s revolution where you can find the support you need from experts and other people just like yourself who are working to get over the hump! You’ll find a community of people, a life-changing ebook, webinars and plenty of encouragement to start your new life. It was a new Year’s resolution which changed my life!

So don’t wallow...grab life by the horns, wrestle it to the ground and overcome your demons. I truly know that you will look back and be able to say that this moment, right now, was the best thing that ever happened to you.

I believe in you.

2014

An Introspective Year

S

everal prominent themes will move through the filaments of life in 2014. To find the predominant theme for 2014 year, we add 2+0+1+4=7.

The Number Seven can be a bit difficult to grapple with, as it is like holding a cloud in one’s hands.

Certain buzz words need to be kept in mind as we travel through this rather unusual energy of 2014. Choice, discernment, silence, spirituality and ethics will show themselves as guideposts to be aware of and put into practice.

From a human perspective, the Number Seven inf luence branches out in many directions, ranging from a focus on mental health, to the environment and spirituality. This energy ruled by Pisces can bring a strong interest in the occult and the metaphysical. However, it can also attract skeptics who doubt all that is not pragmatic and self-evident.

Spiritual practices will become more mainstream. Peo-

ple will become more discerning in choosing between those preachers and teachers that are not for their highest good and greatest joy. Listening to and trusting one’s hunches will become more imperative in decision making.

The Number Seven is an inner vibration prompting one to silence, philosophical contemplation and analytical thinking, all in a space of ref lection, rest, and solitude. The pressures of everyday life will bring forth a desire to get away from it all, and the best place for that will be nature. National parks will become even more popular as Mother Earth’s energy becomes a healing balm in people’s lives.

The environmental protection of trees and water will become a more popular issue as people become reacquainted with the calming aspects of nature.

This will lead to an increase in businesses like camping gear, mobile homes, nature tours, and river rafting that

bring us back to a simpler lifestyle within a natural habitat.

This contemplative and private vibration will cause many to withdraw and spend time in solitary activities often brought on by electronics, thus causing relationships to suffer. One might notice the divorce rate increasing in a Number Seven year as couples find they do not have much in common and withdraw emotionally and sexually, as a consequence. A desire to be alone, not necessarily lonely, can become intense, thus moving the couple apart.

Writing of all kinds will increase, including personal journaling. Because people will not be verbalizing many of their thoughts, journaling will become a more popular form of self-expression.

Expect further development in the understanding of mental health issues. Depression caused by economic fears may become more of a public issue to be dealt with. Movement away from chemicals to more

holistic approaches for medical treatments may become more popular and written about. More emphasis will be given to organic foods, as the Number Seven has a strong instinct for purity of health through foods. This enthusiasm is similar to a Virgo health fetish.

The Number Seven is a code for the intellect, inventiveness and research. Expect advances in technology to surge in 2014 as science, technology and research will become optimum. New appliances, medicines, gadgets and widgets will come to the fore, boggling the mind for sure.

A need to uncover hidden answers will become a joy to many; cold case answers will be discovered by detectives, fossil forms with hidden treasures will be unearthed by archaeologists and anthropologists. Secrets in relationships that have never before been revealed may become unmasked.

A sense of the past becomes a curiosity to Number Seven energies. People will want to enjoy ‘the good ole days’ when there was not as much fear and all were ‘happy days.’

Businesses that focus on nostalgia- antiques, recipes from our childhood and retro fashion may show themselves yet again over 2014.

Discernment will be a key word in 2014, physically, financially and governmentally. More will be revealed as to

the ethics (or lack thereof ) of our elected officials, and a “push” to remove them will resound in the ethers. There will be a sense of retreat and re-evaluation in people’s lives throughout 2014. It will become blatantly obvious that the truth has not been provided to them by those they have trusted, and the populace will begin to understand that they should no longer give their power away to others. The year of 2014 is about “personal regrouping.” As Shakespeare wrote, “To thine own self be true.” The introspective year of 2014 is about finding one’s own truth, not ‘the other guy’s,’ in order to be happy, content, and in one’s own power in life.

To move forward in one’s personal life in 2014, we must come from our hearts, not our heads and egos. Number Seven is about trust and acceptance. Stay with heart based approaches.

Trust that heart-based choices will guide you where you are to go and be, doing what you need to do in any moment. Know that your soul will take as long as it needs in order to move you forward in blessings and that when you surrender (which is different than giving up), what comes into your life next will be better and for your highest good and your greatest joy.

When we choose fear, whether in our career, relationships or finances, physical ailments may arise. When we choose faith and trust in a Universe that can keep the stars in the sky, surrender to the Divine and let go of control, all will be well, slowly but surely.

Beyond Guilt B

or Innocence

ullying, abuse, molestation, rape, the most disturbing crimes to humanity are those of extreme perversion subordinating extreme innocence. From century to century, millennia to millennia and culture to culture, the cultivation of “innocence” appears negligible despite all of humanity’s amazing technological achievements. Was there any less torture, abuse, guilt or perversion the past century? Has humanity even edged a morsel closer to an Age of Innocence?

The reason humanity perpetuates such an overwhelmingly violent existence lies in the root of man’s non-understandings. If religion, law or country were the answer, we certainly would have stumbled across living in and from our innocence by now. While it is certainly wise and necessary to create laws in a society where the many are protected, it is equally important to evolve society by supplying the resources that expand the consciousness of each individual.

BY JOHN CASTAGNINI Can we really expect a society to evolve its members by further polarizing one another?

By labeling and judging “guilt” or “innocence” we more deeply polarize, engrain and perpetuate a continuous reactive pattern. For instance, pretend that a man is convicted for abusing his wife. While it’s certainly sensible to convict her husband, for the evolution of the couple, labeling and making him “guilty” and her “innocent” does little more than put off the inevitable repetition of a set of behaviors. It is accurate that he abused his wife, however making him more “guilty” for it and her “innocent” perpetuates the loop. If the end goal is to create more amicable, cordial conduct, condemning one member of the party rarely shifts the pattern. Ironically it is the guilt itself that further maintains the “guilty” party’s repetition of the pattern. By attempting to stack another layer of guilt atop the “guilty”, we bury this person deeper and deeper with greater angst, frustration and selfhatred. What we bury and

what we condemn indeed repeats.

When in fact where the pattern may be broken is by assisting the person who committed the crime in alleviating their guilt, in necessary combination with sharing perspective with the victim on the “guilt” within their innocence. How was this couple punishing each other in different ways according to their unique perceptions?

Were there triggers from childhood that validated punishment and abuse as a form of love? Did one person refrain from intimacy, sex, conversation? How did this couple use the abuse to break down walls in themselves, with one another or with other people?

What reveals evident is that it is the extreme “innocent” that experiences conflict with the extreme “perverse”. It is the path of the innocent to attract the perverse and vice versa.

Eventually, each polarized position discovers where they embody their opposite within the expression. In the process

35

the innocent becomes a form of guilt, and the guilty a form of innocent.

”

But what then exactly is innocence? What images or feelings does innocence capture in your mind? Habitually, the depiction of pure, serene and pleasurable are associated with innocence. Most frequently portrayed as that which has not been afflicted by certain qualities of humanness; often these human qualities are negative and are categorized as masculine. These “negative” qualities are the very judgments that “innocence” is predetermined to attract and reveal. The attraction to innocence is the fantasy often created of a yesterday, an idea of wholesomeness born of a yearning for a sanctuary protected from the cold hard painful realities that are inevitable in living.

The attraction to innocence is the fantasy often created of a yesterday, an idea of wholesomeness born of a yearning for a sanctuary protected from the cold As a society with wisdom, eventually we will transcend judging hard painful people as guilty and innocent, realities that instead accessing the knowing of accurate and inaccurate. are inevitable Along the way sharing with our in living. neighbors the thought process it takes to modify our non-understandings, beliefs and deeds so that we transcend the human reflexive responses that violate the freedoms of another person.

Ultimately at our core we all seek freedom, and that free-

”

dom we seek is from the demons we struggle within ourselves. It is around our struggle for liberation where we encounter our struggle between guilt and innocence. A wise teacher once shared “to love your enemy” – the enemy is in fact ourselves. If we evolve innocence to mean the expression of the spirit of man, then by helping one another transcend positions of selfrighteous judgment, we enter a new age of deeper communication and transformation.

In evolving our consciousness towards honoring our interconnectedness and oneness, our words and actions develop towards honoring one another. Here we become more in tune with expressing our deepest nature, unadulterated love and the untainted innocence that is the universal human spirit. We will discover the purity of spirit that the idea of “innocence” embodies in transcending any judgment of guilt or innocence and in honoring the omnipresent perfection. We are perfectly divine, transcendent to any perception of guilt or innocence. We are not born sinners, and we die only with the transgression of that which we have not appreciated and loved; and for that, we are also not judged.

Peter Brown continued from page 27

There seems to be people around the world that seem to be following my presentation. I record a lot of video so they are following along when I can’t be there physically.

WP: Where do you see yourself, if you look out over the next five years? Do you see yourself moving more in the direction with webinars, or You Tube videos or workshops?

PB: I don’t know. I would like to make myself available to people wherever there seems to be a demand for it. This is not a business, so it is not like I have to expand my consumer base or anything like that.

It is just a matter of if there seems to be sufficient interest to justify a particularly.

For example, I started doing talks in Los Angeles and there was a fair amount of interest, and people that wanted to pursue this so I continued to do it. I would be perfectly happy to not do it all.

WP: You know you said something interesting. You said this is not a business and I appreciate that. But is there an inner knowing, a deep knowing in you that that one of the functions calling for you is to be that resource whether it is in Los Angeles or the Bay area or Seattle, wherever it might be, that is in a sense your contribution to the planet?

PB: Very much. I am aware that I have a rather unique understanding. Whether it good or bad, it is unique. I feel strong and motivated to make that available to share with others who may be interested.

It is certainly not the majority of people and I have no problem with that. If people are pleased, I am very interested in sharing with them.

WP: Sure. I would say to that issue in terms of the popularity of people wanting to learn or wanting to know, has been perhaps on the lean side but I see it growing dramatically. I see a real hunger in people wanting to learn, wanting to explore, of wanting to hear the material that you are putting out.

of not wanting to take a real risk. Most people tend to pursue something that is already popular.

WP: Yes, true enough.

PB: As a result most people see vividly what other people are pursuing, rather than thinking for themselves.

WP: This brings it back to the statement made earlier. Do you see globally the shift that is happening and playing out in way that people are becoming more daring in exploring areas that they have never explored before?

PB: It is hard to say. Everything is changing, changing so the globalization of the economy, in terms of what is going on socially. I think most people are trying to play catch up so it seems to be moving towards this kind of inquiry. It is an interesting time to be alive right now.

WP: Certainly it is, enormously exciting. And there are so many things happening at warp speed.

PB: Yes. And no one can see where it is going.

WP: Do you see certain areas, whether it be of the state or the country where there seems to be an accelerated pace of what is happening?

PB I don’t know, it is hard to say. Things are pretty much changing everywhere.

Everything is changing drastically.

WP: Do you see one of the components of that change to be the capacity or ability for people into more heart centered space?

PB: Certainly that would be very nice.

We will see how things go. It is hard to say what is going to happen.

Do you see it in the same light?

WP:What would be some of your predications? I know you don’t have a crystal ball in front of you, but where would you see things happening?

PB: It is hard to say. The majority of people seem to be conservative in terms

PB: Everything is changing across the board drastically. It is hard to know, the

degree of change will be more catastrophic economic failures or wars. Or on the contrary, we may sort of muddle through with fewer major hiccups. I see things changing drastically in fifty years in almost every regard. In a sense of what life is like anywhere on the globe.

WP: I am in total agreement. Although I see things slightly different in that I see five years out from now it will be radically different.

PB: Well, yes every year is changing it sort of arbitrary. It is exponential. Look at how the world has changed in the last 100 years.

WP: I wanted to ask you, in regards to your personnel experience, how would answer the question “Why did it happen for you”?

PB: I can not possibly answer that question. All I can say it is an inclusion by nature, my destiny, my karma. Why is anyone who they are? Where they are? Life is a very strange phenomenon. I think to enjoy it to the fullest, the strength is appreciating the phenomenon and how different it is.

WP: Just being accepting of the unfolding of it. I think that is true.

I want to ask you one last question. It is a question I ask everyone. The magazine is called the Whole Person. Peter Brown, are you a whole person?

PB: Yes, I am a whole person.

WP: Wonderful and I think you’re an amazing individual.

PB: Thank you very much.

WP: I think you do a wonderful job of disseminating information and adding clarity to our muddle world. Thank you Peter, look forward to seeing you here in Los Angeles soon.

What Are They

SAYING?

e

ach month Whole Person Magazine and Lori Spagna will be taking your questions regarding animal communication, animal telepathy, animal health and nutrition, as well as Spiritual behavioral training and partnership with your pets.

Please write in to the magazine at wholepersonmagazine@gmail.com and we may even answer your question in Whole Person Magazine.

Q:

If animal communication is real, how come my cats and dogs still won’t listen to me when I ask them to do something, even though I am practicing Animal Communication with them?

Most times, when animals won’t or don’t listen to us, it’s because there is some kind of underlying message or information that we have not received from them.

BY LORI SPAGNA

Animal Communication does involve telepathically sending information to animals, but it also involves receiving messages from them too. Many people are talking to their animals, few people are listening to them.

In addition, we share certain Sacred Contracts and Agreements with our animal companions which typically involve us learning, healing, releasing, resolving and/or evolving in different areas of our lives and in many aspects of our personal journeys.

In these cases, both animals and humans have opportunities to learn, grow and evolve together.

Moreover, the animals have an opportunity to be of service to us and our personal spiritual development.

They are our teachers, healers and companions and they can be relentless when it comes to fulfilling their Sacred Contracts and Agreements to assist us.

even the most troubling issues with animals can be very easily resolved, once the human receives what he or she is meant to with respect to the contract or agreement, which is then fulfilled as a result.

So the next time your animal companion is not doing something you have asked him to do, ask him: what do you need from me? What do I need to learn or change or heal or resolve?

Many times, the biggest lessons of all simply involves us humans learning to be better listeners.

If you can really receive the message and integrate it into your life, chances are, the animals behavior will change as is appropriate, very soon after that.

2014 Astrological Psychology ARIES - 3/21 – 4/191

January

This is a time for you to be patient and allow the natural unfolding to happen. The seed is planted in the earth and with water and heat growth will happen. Be patient.

You already know that you are on a new adventure where your childlike curiosity is the key.

What you don’t know, is the extent of the integration that is happening during this incubation period! Many diverse aspects of your being are tenderly coming together. Be patient and celebrate the silent integration whether you feel it or not.

The Divine Mother is bringing together completions for you in the silence. Each aspect that finishes as it comes together is actually a healing. Stay present and notice as you bask in the Blue Healing Light.

In the future you will continue to receive in silence. It is practicing patience in the present that the unfolding happens perfectly, setting a precedent for you to receive in the future.

TAURUS - 4/20 – 5/20

Wow, you are in for opening to a vantage point of view during this time. You are most likely to notice that vantage point of view during a moment when you are empty; that is without thought. Even though there is significant influence from your past, which can be looked at either as past lives or genetic inheritance, you are/will be held in a loving embrace as that influence participates consciously into your life.

That noticing when you are not looking comes through the doorway opened by the deep harmony within. It is deepened and strengthened as the heart and third eye resonate together; visit there often.

The success you have had and are/will have, is due to having acquired some mastery in being patient. While some may laugh, it is true. Practicing patience nurtures what is already planted and growing.

In the future your path is away from the ‘valleys of fog’. You will be traveling off the map as you know it today. Being patient allows you to rely on the intuition of presence, where all needs merge into the Light.

GEMINI - 5/21 – 6/20

Conditioning that is Known, is way more

useful than conditioning operating unconsciously. Welcome the knowing of all conditions handed to you unconsciously. Then you can decide if that conditioning works for you or not. You will find more knowingness in silence.

Practice being in silence and set an intention to know all aspects of conditioning. As the lotus emerges, she rises above the mud into a flowering. Being receptive to your rising and flowering is as important as taking action. You have a wellspring of receptivity ready and willing to support your process; welcome it, now!

Take courage because regardless of what you have done, regardless of what you haven’t done, regardless of what you have done to others or what has been done to you, there is a fertile place for you to bloom. In mother nature even there in the most unlikely places life springs forth; take courage and trust.

Stay on track, seek insight into your conditioning, choose your own beliefs, open the door in silence, notice the courage that is there in you and in the future a significant healing comes.

CANCER - 6/21 – 7/22

The master within is calling to you! It Is the light of the full moon that shines illuminating rainbow light on the trees in the forest. Right in front of you, the very path you are on is a clearing! There is a circle of a ‘Lotus of Light’. You already sense that having turned completely 180 degrees around served you.

Being inside the ‘Lotus Circle of Light’ means that there is greater maturity naturally revealing itself. That revealing is in the light and in the dark. It is the completion of the lotus circle around you that reveals and illuminates.

The Divine Mother within is weeping because of being left in isolation; even though the Mother Divine is part of the celebration Inn your success. She wants your Loving attention every moment; so what are you going to do now!

In the Future Present know that your Creative participation causes Mother’s Nature Itself to uncover a Brighter Illuminating Light activating 12 Stars in your Hair.

LEO - 7/23 – 8/22

Turn around and face the Light and bring Life to the Staff you carry. Knowing this Light is a solitary state the enjoyment of which is profound. The Sorrow that arises is very old and is ready to go! The Master within knows how to let the Sorrow Go. Trust that that you know! What you don’t know yet is that you are being Created Inn a new expression of Mother Nature; welcome and invite Her Creativity Inn. That Creativity is readily accessed

by Turning Inn ward; just do a little, ‘turning inward’ every day and you will see.

While you are experienced knows the benefits of being in Silence, being a little more practiced will take you into and past the Sorrow that is there. Inn all darkness/sorrow is some Light; go Inn and you will be pleasantly surprised by your experience.

In the Future you will know an evolved Presence. Your ability to Let Go will be way more refined, way past what you think you know now. The Pink Light of Surrender drips from the Lotus Flower of Your Heart.

VIRGO - 8/23 – 9/22

Change is here to Be Embraced; Change embraced reveals harmony. Do you want more Harmony! In your case during January 2014, the Change comes with less trudging, less anger and more Light Heartedness; Embrace, Embrace Embrace. You will want to compare the new with the old etc. You will be saddled with an apparent need that is almost done; a need to cling to the past. You will perceive being all alone, when being by yourself in seclusion is way different; notice the difference and seek to experience differently.

You are being held by the Divine at this time to support an Integration of many diverse parts. Feeling like an Outsider can stop because it is time for Your Including Embrace to go forth. Following in Awareness reveals an Innocence within beyond All Experiences of the World and then also of the World. Deep within there is a Celebration of Who You Are, Welcome that Celebration, Call It Forth, Be Willing to Be Inn Celebration.

The Celebration comes from Beyond Illusion that is your Home. Be there Now! The Future Present Opens a Maturity to

41

the Wonders of a Completed Circle; the Arborous within Illumines Inn Daylight and Night Light!

LIBRA - 9/23 – 10/22

It is a time to take Courage, even though you might see that your efforts are falling on hard times. Take Courage and ‘Keep on Keeping On’ and with the Courage to keep going perseverance will accompany your Courage. Move forward Like a Lion takes Courage and you have the Courage. Your insides are very different than another’s outsides; you already know this point! You also know that the Source within is the Fire of Creation, so what is with worrying where your seeds sprout?

You worry because knowing the Master within has yet to move from your intellect to your Heart! Hidden from your full view is the way Guilt wears you down.

The Good News is that your Rebel within is holding a torch lighting the way; you like your Rebel yet are somewhat unaware of how to put that energy to work for you! Put the Rebel to work by Sharing with others your journey, your story and your blessings; the more of yourself you give the more you get!

Recognizing the Courage within, especially right now, facilitates a Healing for you Libra. Simply admitting to yourself that you can stand up and keep on going is huge. In the Future your Inner Voice becomes sweeter and softer. The Divine Feminine within supports you and supports your efforts in ways that are much more recognizable and pleasing to you.

Hang On the Miracle Is Coming!

SCORPIO - 10/23 – 11/21

It is definitely time for you Scorpio to Be Inn Play. Playfulness is the call of the day throughout January. Lift yourself up and dance and play often, using common sense as to where, when and how intense to play. In some serious situations a little play can bring balance, so stay alert for the opportunity to Play. It the Time to step into Play so that the Miser’s plume is transformed into Red! Being ready to Fight for……has you fighting before you start! Your very Existence is Pristine and Pure; see that Purity around you and being prepared to Fight is Gone. You will have to Slow Down though to allow your Existence to Shine Forth for you to see.

The Fire within is the Source of your Playfulness. The Fire must be fed. The Fire Is fed in Play. The Fire is the Master within. Take the governor off your engine, shift gears as the surroundings change and keep Present so you can Slow Down to Win! The Master within Knows!

SAGITTARIUS - 11/22 – 12/21 In January Celebrate. Celebrate because of something and Celebrate for no good reason. Just be sure you Celebrate! Celebrate the Source of all that Is, Celebrate all that was and celebrate all that Will Be! All Is in Divine Right Order all the time or nothing is ever. You decide and Celebrate for No Good Reason once In a while. The demons of Guilt come from within. It is you that causes yourself pain and it is you that has a dim view about the possibilities of Change. Be patient, win a prize and over some time you will see you actually have more patience than you have awareness of.

When you are not fighting, you are preparing to Fight. You are prepared to Fight without even knowing, that by being prepared to fight you are suppressing which causes a holding back in your environment. Since you are pretty much Free right now let go in the silence of the sense of being isolated and you will discover. You will discover in the letting a new application of your Intensity. What you Project is yours that you think belongs to another. Your ability to celebrate what is thinks that part of your success belongs to another, which there is circumstantial proximity you are the Source of that Celebration.

As the Future unfolds, the veils of your Awareness continue to open into a richer and deeper participation in God’s Plans.

CAPRICORN - 12/22 – 1/19

Now is the time to Turn In-ward like you have never done so before; begin curiously like a child. You will notice ghosts and interference around you and as long as you notice while keeping focused inward, you will move beyond those influences. Wow!! What a Gift! You really already know how to ‘Go with the Flow’ so participate like that with a deeper sense of innocence in your curiosity.

What is hidden from you is a bundle of Moral Challenges. These challenges come from the past, the present and from others that you are influenced by. It is really important for you to stay focused inward even when some awareness of these Moral Challenges come into your Awareness.

You know when you slow down that you are ready to see, process and integrate; get ready! The Field of All Possibilities as you know it is changing! Smile!!!

You are and will be quite happy with what emerges from ‘the Field of All Possibilities’ because you are familiar with what has already come to you from Beyond Illusion; More, Incredible, Blessings!

While the Future is complicated politically, what else did you expect! It is your Courage that allows your efforts to pro-

duce life, expansion and beauty; keep on with what you know! What you know is going to reveal New Visions and new ways of seeing!

AQUARIUS - 1/20 – 2/18

Let go in order to rise above the muck and mire of life. Even if you have no clue what to let go of, ask for assistance in letting go of what would be in your highest good! The good news is that the Rebel in you is used to taking unorthodox actions from time to time, so given you have already broken some of the chains that hold you in place, do so again is somewhat appealing to you. You are more than ready to emerge from the cocoon and to spread your wings. While you might think you have already done that, there is an infinite number of emerging’s ahead of you.

The really good news is that it is the acquisition or the allowing of deep Harmony from within that has been one of your strongest assets; congratulation!

In the Future the Creator within is taking a much more prominent role. You intuitive knowingness is refined again and again. You guidance in knowingness is quite profound.

PISCES - 2/19 – 3/20

In the Quiet of your ‘Heart-3rd Eye’ connection there is, can be, will be a great sense of Joy and Satisfaction in Being You! You will discover that being armed and ready to Fight is becoming less and less of a requirement! As you let go of the need to be prepared to Fight, Abundance Showers down upon you. There is a profound sweetness that is there! Behind the scenes you are gaining awareness about having been stretched between two unmovable pillars in awareness. One pillar is a Flowering of the Essential Goodness from within. The other pillar is the Miser who wants to hold onto the Wealth, as if there was no more coming your way. The Solution comes to you in the Quiet; Trust in yourself and trust the Wisdom from the Depth of your being.

The Key to the Joy and Satisfaction that is the central theme of January 2014 is Trust the Change. All Change is in Divine Right Order, so Trust that the Change you are facing is Divinely Inspired; even if you fail to see or understand.

In the Future your sense of being an Outsider becomes more Joy and Satisfaction because you are both an Insider and an Outsider and neither and both all at the same time. Knowing this Opens Huge Passage Rights for you.
