“

he greatest gift is Love. It is also mankind’s mostdifficult gift to give. One must love God first and find inner peace and divine placement before one can love another. Love is not of need.

It is not of control. It is not of ownership. Love supports without changing direction. Love is born of an innergrace that sees the good in another and allows that good to express when and how it must.

Love is the gift of freedom without qualification.

Love does not require a return on its investment.

Love simply loves because to do so pleasures the soul.

No one loses when Love is present.”

I was glad to see that you didn’t quit publishing. I find the listings helpful in finding activities, while I enjoy the few articles that are informative and would welcome more of them.

--- Maku Cuizon In reading the article about Tom Hayden, I was very impressed with how well he was interviewed. It was obvious to me that the interviewer was very knowledgeable about his work and highlighted the incredible work of Tom Hayden by offering a comprehensive view of his wonderful contributions.

John Raatz

Merging the Worlds of Entertainment and Spirituality

By

crossing the chasm, John Raatz has gone from being an acclaimed guitar picker to a transcendental meditation teacher, to manifesting a visionary, transformational entertainment company. He is crafting a vehicle for our time, to create film which impacts its audience by supporting their growth. He is contributing to all of humanity by shifting our culture.

WP: Please give a brief share about your very beginning, and what it was like being you as a young man.

JR: I grew up in Flint, Michigan. A cultural melting pot before many such cities existed, owed to the presence of General Motors. It drew people from all over, from the south and from other countries, so I had the good fortune to grow up with many ethnicities: African American, Hispanic, Asian etc. and to form strong bonds with them early in my life.

WP: So, you didn’t create a barrier between you and those different than you?

JR: No. In the world that I was living in at that time, I don’t think that could have happened. It was the late 60’s early 70’s and we all shared many of the same incomes, values and visions for life, so we stood side by side together when we were protesting the war. We read the same books: Alan Watts, the Tao Te Ching, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

We got high together and so it just broke down all of the barriers that may have existed for other folks.

WP: Am I hearing that you were very liberal and open minded?

JR: Well, the interesting thing is that I lived a dual life for a period because I grew up under the influence of my parents who were very religious and conservative. To highlight this very strange period, I received an invitation from the White House to attend the inauguration of President Nixon after being involved in his campaign because of my parents. But at the same time I was getting high, playing in a rock band and pursuing a spiritual path.

WP: And, how old were you then?

JR: I did that whole trip from age 11 to 17. I had a kind of, what some people might refer to as, an experience of awakening at age 11.

I started meditating with Maharishi. That internal and external experience catalyzed a very strong pull to the progressive and spiritual side.

WP: How did your parents deal with the changes you were experiencing?

JR: Fine. There wasn’t really much for them to do other than to say, and they were actually very good about it. They put my happiness at the forefront of their concerns so if I was happy and not getting into trouble, then they were happy.

WP: Was the environment you grew up in a very middle class environment?

JR: Yes. My father was an engineer for General Motors and my mother was a homemaker. We were pretty typical of a Midwestern family at that time. If you know the television series, “The Wonder Years”, that was my experience growing up.

WP: You had a very interesting world going on for yourself.

JR: I did. I was playing in a local rock band and it got quite popular. We were an opening act for national bands like the MC 5, Ziggy and the Stooges, Bob Seeger, Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper. I was considered somewhat of a prodigy on guitar because I had parked myself up in my room for a couple of years learning to play. It was virtually my only focus.

WP: Do you think the relationship you cultivated with your guitar was a primary catalyst in some way for your connection or deepening your spiritual connection?

JR: You hit the nail right on the head with that. It was when I was in my cave and so focused on the instrument that this experience of transcendence occurred. It was a dropping away of all boundaries and a merging with the guitar, if you will. Based on my experience today, how I understand it is that it was basically consciousness referencing consciousness. I’m a seeker and as my appetite as a seeker grew I started reading some of the spiritual books of that time. So at the age of 17, when the TM teacher arrived in Flint, I began practicing. My experience of initiation was dramatic. After being initiated I literally stopped doing drugs and drinking. I wanted to pursue God. I ended up going to Europe, studying with Maharishi and became a teacher of transcendental meditation in 1976. I have since taught a few thousand people.

WP: As you look back on this catalyst, this connection to the guitar and the music, what were the more exacting moments that you would describe as stepping over the threshold to the more authentic you?

I’d like to think that there is this moment for all of us, where we recognize something enormously profound within ourselves and I guess my question is, when did that moment occur for you?

JR: I would say that it was probably when I formally started practicing meditation. It was akin to a rebirth, a second life. It completely reset or recast my life.

WP: So you became involved with TM and became a teacher, life moved along and then where were you positioning or pointing yourself in terms of what you were looking to do?

JR: At that point, the only plan I had was spiritual awakening, but this time there was a call in the business side of things and I felt this pull to come to Los Angeles. One day a friend of mine and I packed up our cars and caravanned out here. I lived out of the back of my car. The one person that I knew here gave me a room and it just so happened that she worked for the magician Doug Henning so I got my first job in LA. At the same time I tapped into the large community of people practicing TM that I found here, as a resource base. One day I went to a production meeting for a children’s TV show and it happened that actor Ned Beatty was there.

After the meeting he and I were talking and he asked me what I was doing… to which I answered, “Nothing.” He said, “Meet me at the Beverly Hillcrest Hotel tomorrow and I’ll buy you lunch.” At the end of that luncheon he offered me a job as his assistant, errand boy. I wanted into get into management.

WP: And being a manager is handling the business details for the actor.

JR: Yes and more. It’s a very comprehensive role, handling all facets of growing and developing their career. Eventually Ned was getting married, so my job for him ended.

He asked me what I’d like to do and then picked up the phone and called Dolores Robinson, a prominent manager here in LA and asked her to hire me. Eventually, I politely left Dolores Robinson Management to form my own management company. I went more into the music. I ended up managing a lot of baby acts but also Billy Preston, Al Stewart, A Taste of Honey and several other acts that I had on Capital Records.

WP: It was an incredibly courageous move, journeying to Los Angeles, making the shift from Flint, Michigan to Southern California.

JR: On one hand it was scary because it was unknown, but on the other hand it was exciting because it was an unknown. It brought both sides of the coin, so you drink from both sides, and one heals the other.

WP: While connecting with TM and going on these meditation retreats and so forth, how were you able to sustain yourself financially?

JR: I had money from the band so I had

some savings and I was able to use that to go on meditation courses and what have you.

But after I became a teacher, of course, I earned enough to live the lifestyle I wanted at that point in time.

“

Around 2004, I went to Eckhart and I said “Here’s the idea that I have” and what do you think and he said… “ Do it”.

”

WP: So you re-associated yourself with the music industry at some level. Where did life take you from there?

JR: I am one of those people that periodically needs a new challenge. I ended up becoming the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Ayurvedic Clinic working with Deepak Chopra and the national and international Maharishi Ayurvedic Medical Center teams. I taught there as well. After that, I was working with Billy Preston. At one point while in New York negotiating a deal for Billy Preston’s record label I had some free time on my hands and never having been to the NY stock exchange, I went there. I was blown away by the energy in that place and I said, “ I’ve gotta do this”. I studied and I took the Series 7 Exam and passed it. In ‘87 the market crashed. It was a very intense experience and I didn’t approve of how the industry handled the market crash. I decided I was either going to leave or I was going to find something within that industry that would allow me once again to reconnect with my spiritual values. I did manage to find this connection in socially responsible investing.

WP: Did connecting with the financial world by means of the stock market conflict with your spiritual or other values at the time?

JR: It did conflict and as a matter of fact I would refer to that period as a certain kind of spiritual amnesia. Yes, and that ended because a gentleman I had met in my earlier career as a personal manager, was a vice president of A&R over at Capitol Records.

He called me and said, “Let’s start a management company together.” We did. Marketing and PR had awakened within me and since I am one of those people with an intense curiosity, I left the management company and went to the PR firm. I thought, “This is it; this is what I really enjoy.”

WP: That curiosity is one of your more salient gifts.

JR: One day, I encircled myself with maybe six 4-drawer cabinets of article files containing articles with things that interested me, and I started categorizing them. I watched certain piles grow and certain piles diminContinued on Page 8

John Raatz Continued from Page 7

ish, and as I finished I realized that things like marketing/advertising, PR, public speaking, publicity and promotions and everything related to that, was the largest pile.

And then the spiritual pile. I made a decision to go to my strengths. I want to learn and get paid. What do I want to learn about? Well, I want to learn more about life and spirituality and I really love the creative arts and this and that. Those are the people who I want to have as clients. And what do they all have in common? Well they are all transformationally or spiritually oriented. I asked myself, so what do they all have in common? Well, they all have a vision. I want to help people build their vision and the name I came up with, was “The Visioneering Group.” That was almost 25 years ago. We’ve represented hundreds of clients and never veered from that vision or mission once.

WP: Is that company still here today, that’s the umbrella company?

JR: That is the “Visioneering Group”. It’s still here and we’ve been fortunate to work with everybody from Madonna to Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Peter Russell, Daniel Quinn and Kenny Loggins: and with films, “What the Bleep do We Know”, “Baraka”, “I Am”, “The 11th Hour”, “Peaceful Warrior”… just amazing clients over the years.

WP: What a beautiful connection you made with all those people. Seems your story is an experience of the coalescence of the intensity in you, the fire in you to go out and create more.

JR: Yes exactly. It was while Visioneering was developing and growing. I can actually trace the seeds of Gate to 1967 when I was on teacher training with Maharishi in France.

As I listened to his words I almost transcribed them verbatim and really took that inside. It was one of those pivotal moments.

That was probably the seed. It was the beginning of Gate. And then in 1990, when Visioneering had already been born, I was promoting a movie called ‘Mindwalk’, based on the works of physicist Fritjof Capra, the author of ‘The Tao of Physics.’ I was doing a screening of that film and I began noticing that people were responding in a very excited way. I realized I started conceiving of theater as a temple, as a place of spiritual awakening and I realized the power of a film. I coined the phrase “transformational film”. That was another pivotal moment. Then in 2004 ‘What the Bleep Do We Know’ opened this Gateway in a major way.

WP: I want to interrupt you for a sec, be-

“

I asked myself, so what do they all have in common?

Well, they all have a vision.

I want to help people build their vision...

”

cause it’s kind of interesting in terms of the trajectory, if you will, of perhaps being the beginning of the whole movement of conscious film. I mean there have, of course, been other films, so I think “What the Bleep” was really a major film.

JR: It was a catalyst. What the Bleep was quite a large success,and of course it played worldwide and earned millions. Many people thought there’s no audience for this type of film, but they weren’t aware of the cultural creatives and their desire for entertainment and media content that uplifts, informs, inspires and connects. Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment spontaneously emerged, and I realized its acronym was GATE. I allowed it to germinate.

WP: This was back in 2007, 8 or 9?

JR: Around 2004, I went to Eckhart and I said “Here’s the idea that I have” and what do you think and he said… “ Do it”. I asked him to deliver a key note address if I put an event together and he said yes. Then I went to Jim Carey, whom I had met in 2006 at a screening we did of Peaceful Warrior, and since he and I had become friends I asked him if he would co-host the event with me and he said yes, so I knew with both Eckhart and Jim, we had a show.

The inaugural event was June 4th 2009, termed GATE 1. And CAA offered us their screening room auditorium, which seats about 200. I turned it down thinking there are many more, they’re just in the closet, in the transformational closet. We ended up getting the Zanuck theatre over at the Fox lot and I thought, you know having this event with Eckhart and Jim in the Fox Lot is a good package. We filled every seat.

WP: And the people who attended back then, were they very receptive to people like Eckhart?

JR: Supremely, yeah, the audience was a mixture of celebrities like Billy Zane, Jackson Brown, Virginia Madsen and other people of the wisdom culture, wisdom thought leaders. I had speakers like Scott Carlton who was then president of HBO domestic television distribution, Producer/ Director Sandra Hay was there representing Carlos Santana, architects of the New Dawn, Donna Evan performed, Melissa Etheridge performed, Jim spoke, Eckhart spoke, I spoke, we had a nice line up. The 500 people who gathered were quite blown away by the whole event.

Movie Review

The Blue Jewel Movie Review by Sean A. Mulvihill

a

t its most essential core, Oliver Hauck’s new feature film, The Blue Jewel: A Documentary about Planetary Healers, can be described as a love poem to humans from the Earth herself. Its profiled mystical healers are leaders in a truly growing worldwide movement of planetary healing, and the movie, from Starseeds Productions, is one of a growing number whose mission is to heal the Earth.

And it is an important mission, as director Hauck says, “…there is no Earth number two, there is no Earth number three, there is only one Earth for all of us.”

The film, which is episodic in nature, blends breathtaking aerial photography with interviews of healers and teachers who discuss their diverse methods for healing the planet and its inhabitants. Much of the film is accompanied by inspiring music by “Beyond” (a group which includes Tina Turner), and amazing 3-D computer graphics of the Universe, beautifully created by editor Tom Schumacher.

“ ”

What would our Earth be like if man would understand that he and the Earth are one?

One key teacher in the film is the channeled voice of Gaia herself, speaking in soothing tones to us through the medium of the lovely Pepper Lewis. Gaia gives us humans the impetus to take the reigns of the further evolution of the Earth, comparing humans to the transistors in an old radio set: without them, none of the other technology works.

Ignaz and Johanna Leitner. They speak of how their cows kept getting sick until they found harmony in their community relationships. Johanna also speaks eloquently of her desire for everyone to truly experience a rose blooming, and through experiencing a rose, we can become blooms ourselves.

Another teacher, Gudrun Miller, talks about inter-human relations as the key to planetary healing saying, “Forgiveness… unburdens you, the forgiver.” She and her husband, David, and are creating “Groups of 40”— people in cities around the globe who use mental visioning to protect the consciousness of their metropolitan area.

Some of the other wise sages sharing include Dr. Roger Nelson, a psychologist who works with group consciousness affecting random number generators, as well as a Hopi Native American Ruben Saufkie, Sr. who teaches gratitude for Mother Earth.

A delightful interview in the film comes with the German organic farming couple

The Blue Jewel can also be characterized as a meditation with nuggets of wisdom for us to digest, well spaced out with time for getting in touch with one’s breathing and be-

ingness. The implied main question the film raised in my mind is: “How powerful are our minds exactly? How much of my/ our world is within my/our control?” Another episode of the film that spurred these and like inquiries in me is director/producer Hauck’s experiment to use group telepathy to produce rain in the Sahara Desert at a specific time. The results are fascinating.

Those who are looking for story, conflict, peril, or a traditional protagonist will be disappointed by this film. Those who are earnestly seeking alternative views on healing the globe, mainly through personal inner work, will be enthralled by this feature length offering.

I had a chance to talk with German director Oliver Hauck before and after the U.S. Premiere of the film in Beverly Hills, and he had the glow in his eyes of one who has found the work which he was born to do on this Earth. He spoke of how his mission to make this project attracted all of the right people at the right time. I couldn’t help but think about people, some of whom might be reading this article, and how they might want to help heal the globe by creating something, but might be confused as to what they can do, or are simply caught up in the day to day of life: working, paying bills, running errands, surfing the web, exercising, sleeping and then doing it all again the next day. They don’t perceive that they have time to go out into nature and say prayers in a big circle. So what can this busy city dweller do to help out? At the film’s finale, David Miller says, “Everyone on the Earth has seen those beautiful pictures that the astronauts took from the moon... When we [first saw] those images we [began to call] the Earth the Blue Jewel…” He encourages us to meditate for a few minutes each day on the beauty, harmony, and balance which make up our world. This simple method can help to heal the globe. Surely we all have some time in our days for that. WP Sean A.

John Raatz Continued From Page 8

WP: Sounds like it was an amazing event.

JR: Yeah.

WP: I mean just stringing it all together, it’s like bringing two different worlds together. The whole entertainment business, I may be not very accurate in the description but I see the movie, the film and the music business as having a high propensity for money. Maybe that’s a misguided look.

JR: Here’s what I think about that. I think you can find that element in any sector. Some may be a bit more extreme than others, but I think it’s pretty much everywhere.

WP: Well I think it is, I mean, there is no question , but I think there are certainly environments or arenas that draw that in.

There’s an energy there that you connect with and that’s why you’re there. So in that respect the stock brokerage, the whole commodities business and all of that, is the same thing. It’s a way of sustaining that feeling within you.

JR: That’s probably true and it certainly has its effects, but it also seems to be the way of our human nature and I think being on the spiritual path is a way to overcome the deficits of our spiritual nature. So I think it’s when we begin incorporating spiritual ideas and practices, that we begin to work more intimately with our nature and perhaps we learn to manage it in a different way than we did at other times in our lives.

WP: Well, yeah I think that’s absolutely true and it’s well said. It’s a way of elevating our consciousness and our awareness and in that process it’s becoming more connected, more in tuned in a way with what I would describe as the divinity in us, which adheres to a different set of rules.

JR: Yes, if it adheres to any rules at all.

WP: Very good. So then GATE came out in 2009?

JR: Yeah, I kind of count June 4th 2009 as our inaugural event, and since that time, it’s really been spent honing the positioning of GATE, the messaging of GATE, deciding on its infrastructure, attracting others to support the vision as volunteers, doing everything you have to do to build an organization. And that is the phase we find ourselves in now.

And we have a film series called, The Gate

“

There is within me this infinite unbounded field of consciousness that does seep into my day to day experience as presence and when it does, the mind is still, the mind is at peace, the body is still and at peace.

”

Theater Within Series, we have a lecture series, we have a core course that we call Transformational Story 101, that we are beginning to offer 4 times a year. It will be a Transformational Story Intensive which is like a week long program led by Dara Marks. We have a program called Creativity, Imagination and Storytelling, we have our GATE 3, which will be 4, 5 6 etc. events, we have the GATE Transformational Story Conference and we have how the cultural creatives will impact your bottom line in this decade. Our mission is three fold: education, connection and collaboration, and advocacy. We want to speak of it in terms of the economy so people understand that this content is monetizable, and there is a huge audience for it WP: And the timing is so perfect that I find it fascinating in the respect that it’s like having a knowing of the masses, if you will, stepping more into the space, sensing and experiencing their thirst to be more awakened and satiated.

JR: Thank you so much.

WP: My closing question, when did John, become a Whole Person?

JR: I can’t honestly say I am a whole person.

I know that on one level I am whole as everyone is, it’s at that level of consciousness that interconnects all of us, and I do reference that state more and more, but I can’t say that I’m fully established in it. But I do find myself being more and more fully established in it and referencing it on a daily basis. There is within me this infinite unbounded field of consciousness that does seep into my day to day experience as presence and when it does, the mind is still, the mind is at peace, the body is still and at peace. It seems as though this process never ends, I think it’s an infinite process and it just keeps getting deeper. I think it remains primarily an internal experience that informs our outer experience.

WP: Well very nicely said. It’s an infinite experience isn’t it? It goes on forever. We can continue our process of being enriched and expanding as we will. You’ve had a dynamic journey. I see you as a very special individual. Thank you for the interview and for bringing about the change in film with the vision of Gate. WP

All That Is Hidden Will Be Revealed

O

ne example of this was brought to further light last month by Oprah in her “no-holds-barred” interview with the disgraced cycling hero Lance Armstrong. Whether Lance Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) during the period in which he posted a record 7 consecutive Tour de France wins was the hidden to be revealed. On October 10th 2012, the US Anti-Doping Agency submitted their “Reasoned Decision” on this. They concluded it was “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.”

The 1,000 page document (including exhibits) provided overwhelming evidence that Armstrong and his teams used steroids, testosterone, human growth hormone, the blood booster EPO and blood transfusions. The report included statements from 26 witnesses, email exchanges, videos and financial records to document the fraud. Prior to the

By Edwin Harkness Spina

Major revelations in the cycling world hint at what will likely happen in other areas of our society in the near future. Violations long-thought to be swept under the rug have been brought to light, and the community is learning to move on after much shock and disappointment. As was long ago predicted, “All that is hidden will be revealed.”

report’s release, Armstrong declined to contest the charges, ca l l i ng it a “w itch-hu nt.”

More l i kely, k now i n g t hat 11 ex-teammates including one of his closest associates, testified under oath against him, and his hope that the sport’s governing body would come to his defense had more to do with his choosing to avoid a public hearing.

Unfortunately for Armstrong, 12 days later, the report was accepted by the sport’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

Armstrong was officially stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles and banned for life. The UCI President stated, “Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling.”

Major sponsors of Armstrong: Nike, Anheuser-Busch, Trek Bicycles, Oakley and others dropped him within days. Shortly after the UCI decision, Armstrong stepped down from his role as chairman of Livestrong, his

cancer awareness foundation, hoping to spare it from the onslaught of negative publicity. Preserving Livestrong is a noble goal, as it has inspired millions of cancer survivors.

What’s the Big Deal? While Armstrong is not the first athlete to cheat (Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, and others spring to mind), what is shocking is that such “cheating” came to light, as doping was widespread during this time and Armstrong’s influence in the sport of cycling was extreme. Any individual who hinted at disclosing the fraud, had his or her career and reputation systematically destroyed:

* Teammates who did not agree to

dope were terminated, including neopros who were introduced to doping by the team management.

17

* Cyclists from other teams who dared to speak out against doping were bullied by Armstrong during races (captured on video) and forced out of the sport.

*

Wives of ex-teammates were sent threatening text messages by Armstrong directly.

* Ex-cycling

legend Greg LeMond, the first American to win the Tour de France, had his own contract terminated by Trek Bicycles, an Armstrong sponsor, after questioning some of Armstrong’s results.

* Journalists who asked embarrassing questions were ostracized by their fellow journalists, who feared Armstrong’s wrath if they sided with the “trolls.”

The entire cycling community lived in abject fear of Armstrong’s power, which transcended the sport. Senator John Kerry, an avid cyclist, felt his wrath. According to respected journalist Selena Roberts, Armstrong tried to use his clout to get 2008 Presidential candidate Obama to come to his Livestrong fundraiser. When a prior Obama engagement conflicted, Armstrong emailed Kerry, “If cancer isn’t an issue of concern for the Democratic Party, then we will go into the database of Livestrong, which has millions of people, and let them know where the Democratic Party stands.”

Hope for the truth to ever emerge about Lance Armstrong’s doping seemed slim. But Armstrong’s hubris and utter disregard for a fellow teammate who initially kept his mouth shut, vis-à-vis his own doping, led to his downfall.

Floyd Landis was initially credited with winning the 2006 Tour de France, until he tested positive for testosterone. He denied it, but was found guilty. He served his suspension and after two years looked for a team to join. Landis had helped Armstrong win 3 Tours de France. Even the mafia rewards its henchmen who “keep their mouths shut”, but Armstrong did not help Landis.

With no career options, no money and a ruined reputation, Landis hit rock bottom. So he lashed out and wrote a detailed email to the head of USA Cycling, which he made public and filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit against Armstrong’s US Postal cycling team. Landis was angry that while Armstrong was flying in his own private jet, he was forced to ride substandard bikes. Among his allegations was that the team was selling its top of the line bicycles to finance their drug purchases.

A federal investigation headed by Jeff Novitzky ensued into the misuse of public funds by Armstrong’s US Postal cycling team. There was a light on the horizon, but then came another setback. The 21 month federal investigation was abruptly terminated. Novitzky was not told of this termination until 15 minutes before it was announced by his boss, on a Friday night before the Super Bowl.

It looked like the truth would never see the light of day. But the USADA was not required to prove a federal crime had been committed. They compiled their own overwhelming evidence of doping and the truth was eventually revealed. Reactions were mixed. Older riders knew the truth

about the doping culture that pervaded the sport, and were not eager to have their own indiscretions come out. Fans were shocked and disappointed. Some sponsors withdrew from the sport.

Newer, more advanced drug tests have come into the sport, making is more difficult to cheat. Cycling proponents are calling it a new beginning. Young riders will no longer be forced to dope to compete.

In Oprah’s interview, Armstrong admitted to using performance enhancing drugs and making extraordinary efforts to hide the truth. A new world is emerging.

While the details of a doping story in the sport of cycling may seem irrelevant to your life, the fact is that everything is related. This drama is a microcosm of our society as a whole, pointing toward “All that is hidden will be revealed.” That time is now. As you look at the corruption and decay of existing political, financial, educational, religious and commercial institutions, have faith that those with self-serving agendas, carried out at the expense of others, will soon be revealed.

It may be a small impetus for change that opens the floodgates and lets the truth emerge – a tiny catalyst that sparks a massive awakening and leads to the upliftment of our entire society. Perhaps YOU will be that catalyst.

Mindful Prayer

Intentionally Creating an Energetic Event on the Vertical

“P

rayer is not an act of worship merely, the bending of the knee on set occasions, and offering petitions in need. It is an attitude of soul, opening the life on the Godward side, and keeping free communication with the world of spirit.”- Hugh Black

pondering the deep meaning of every word, with intention, emotion and faith, they have the ability to open the energetic channels. In my modest understanding, prayer is the conscious and deliberate creation of an energetic event on the vertical. The purpose of prayer is to personally, directly, and vertically connect with the Universe/God. It is a visit with God, which necessitates time to allow for the connection to unfold, and cannot be rushed.

Clairvoyant observation of an individual’s crown chakra reveals the extent to which they connect energetically with Universe/God, the quality of that connection, the way they understand it, and how they feel about it.

Numerous scientific studies of prayer have been conducted in the USA. Some were funded by the National Institute of Health. Most of these studies investigated the role and effects of prayer on the distance healing process in humans.

The majority of these studies indicate that prayer works. People who were prayed for – without their knowledge – healed faster, stayed fewer days in the hospital, required less medication and had fewer complications. Conversely, some studies indicated that prayer does not work, and in some cases may be detrimental to the prayer recipients.

In some of the successful cases, the people who prayed were practitioners of various religious traditions who were trained in prayer, meditation, or directing healing energy from a distance.

These were people who knew how to deliberately create an energetic event through prayer. In the unsuccessful cases, lists of patient names were distributed to random prayer groups at churches throughout the country. It was

Here are a few useful techniques to apply when praying while remembering that intention, emotion and faith move energy: Invocation:

observed that patients who were informed that people would pray for them did the worst and had more complications. Were they scared into thinking that their condition was more severe than it actually was, since random people had been recruited to pray for them?

To clarify, we must ask: who prayed, how did they pray, what did they say, for how long did they pray, did they know how to produce an energetic event through prayer, and what is prayer?

Prayer is very misunderstood. We are taught that others know how to pray on our behalf. In truth we all have a direct, personal connection with the Divine.

All major religions are energy-based.

Prayers, mantras, or chants are designed so that when they are said mindfully,

Call the beings of the highest intention and purity, those that you most resonate with to be present with you and help you in the process of your prayer. You have friends in high places, and you don’t want “just anybody” showing up randomly.

Intention: State that the intention of the prayer is to connect with God/Universe.

Emotion: Experience a strong, intense feeling, a sincere, heartfelt desire to connect with God/Universe.

Faith: Trust that this connection will happen, even if you do not know from a causal point of view, the exact mechanism by which it will happen.

21

Posture: While praying, either sit or stand. When sitting, do not cross arms or legs – this obstructs the flow of energy.

You can recite prayers or intone chants according to your faith or that of a tradition that you resonate most with. Being in the moment and pondering the deep meaning of every word is key.

When prayer is said mindfully, clairvoyant observation reveals energy streaming from the crown of the head all the way into the Universe. When someone asks for help, one sees life force in the form of golden light coming from the universe entering their crown chakra and their body. The problem is that most times, prayers are said like an automatic recitation, so no energetic event is accomplished.

Asking for help is under-utilized. In this 3-dimensional reality, we have been given the freedom to choose between receiving help and not receiving help.

Prayer need not be reserved for emergencies. One can – and ideally does – request clarity, insight, and assistance with day-to-day living.

Prayer requires us to embrace a mystical paradox. Even as we ask, we must also surrender to God (not like a prisoner or slave – but as the lover yields to the Beloved) trusting that God knows our highest good. And rather than fretting over the how our desired results come about, better we accept, “There is no order of difficulty in miracles.” Otherwise we may inadvertently overlook the answer to our prayers, simply because they showed up in unexpected packaging.

When we pray, we often present God a list of things we want or outcomes we desire. What if it’s not for the highest good? Unanswered prayers can be blessings in disguise. Humans enjoy a larger perspective in retrospect, reviewing events of years past and finally understanding things differently. Later de-

claring, “thank God I didn’t get that job” or “thank God I didn’t marry that person”. Sometimes spiritual progress comes through crisis, which presents opportunity for transformation and dismantling the ego. This is a blessing that may not be immediately apparent and challenges us to accept that God ultimately holds the larger perspective.

By praying “whatever is for my highest good and the highest good of all concerned, let it be done” we intentionally align our will with God’s will.

Praying in supplication, labeling ourselves as weak, unworthy, or sinners, is not effective, despite what we may have been taught. When we pray for something, we need to become what we are praying for in that moment. Native American medicine men were observed invoking rain. In the sacred circle, with eyes closed, heads and hands held skyward, they were silent. Scientists asked what happened in that moment. Were they calling for rain? They explained, “We never pray for rain, we pray rain.” They visualized themselves already powerfully drenched with rainwater, the fields moist, the crops growing, acknowledging, “It is done, Thank You!” By the same token, when we pray for good health, without doubt, analysis, or hesitation, we must powerfully visualize and feel ourselves completely healthy: physically strong, mentally clear, emotionally evenkeeled, harmonious in our relations, effective in our daily tasks, with a comfortable feeling of belonging and connection with God/Universe and all of Creation. Visualize Golden Light (chi, prana, Life Force) coursing into the crown chakra like a river, completely filling and illuminating the whole body to awaken, heal, optimize and reprogram us for a new life.

Let’s Talk Chakras!

Levine

This is an ongoing series by Kenton David Bell, a Master Spiritual Healer, Clairvoyant, Channel, Life Coach and Published Author.

Everything is Energy…

Chakra is the Sanskrit word meaning “wheel” or “turning”. Chakras are energy vortices that can be found supporting the human physical vessel. It has been my personal understanding from working with these vortices, and the teachings from spirit, that these energy centers support physical life from the non-physical or spiritual realms into the physical. These vortices when off balance, or not metabolizing fully, can create distortions in our reality.

When a Chakra has been “out of balance” for some time it can and does lead to physical disease. All disease begins as an energetic imbalance which stem from something within your internal landscape needing attention. When we begin to work and honor these natural, organic systems within the body we truly begin to master our health and wellbeing as well as evolve into higher consciousness.

The Sixth Chakra Location: Between the Eyebrows Organs: Brain, Eyes, Nose & Ears Color: Indigo Qualities: Concise Thought /

Clear and Rational Thinking. Visualization. Creation Of Reality. Intuitive Center. Channel. Psychic Abilities.

Chakra 1 and 7 are the two chakras with only one aspect. Chakras 2-6 have two aspects to them. A front and back. The sixth chakra, metabolizes the energies of balance, discernment, intuition as well as

clarity of mind and unified thinking. The sixth chakra is a spiritual chakra. It has been said by many masters and sages through time that we can only truly be happy when we’ve come into full understanding of the wisdom of the sixth chakra.

The Pituitary Gland Located between the eyebrows, the pituitary gland is “The Third Eye”. This is the center of intuition, clairvoyance and psychic abilities. When we are clear and not immersed in limiting thoughts or limited belief patterns, the pituitary begins to fully function. When the pituitary gland is fully functioning it begins to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

When this occurs we begin to move from a dualistic perspective to a more unified reality. This is a powerful and important step towards realization of the self.

When we do not live from a place of truth, honor and integrity, our 5th chakra becomes weak. We lose energy as the vital life force leaks from a non-realized 5th chakra. If we are not living from our deepest and highest truth and speaking from that place, most likely we are living from others’ truths. This is not only detrimental to our own expression, but weakens us for our day to day activities of life and drains our willpower that we need to “harness” for higher spiritual pursuits.

“The highest goal of spirituality is Selfrealization, but what does that mean? It means to feel your Self as a living reality in this moment, and there is always only this moment.”

Questions To Probe The Sixth Chakra: Can you discern between information and knowledge?

Are you looking at the myopic view or the Soul level view?

Do you understand the difference between literal and symbolic clairvoyance?

“Know that you are a spark of God and can exist fully only within the realization of that profound truth. As such, you area light and inspiration to others.�

Harold Klemp

Past, Present and Future in The Sixth Chakra When we begin to release the past, live in and from the present, and create into our future, the sixth chakra comes into fuller expression. You are more likely than not, recreating the past over and over again, perhaps in fear of the unknown, or in fear of the new. When we really begin to trust the process of the evolution of our Soul’s journey we are able to live in the present.

This is some of the wisdom that can be exercised through the sixth chakra.

Good Questions to Inspire New Action: How do you create your reality?

Do you like everything that you are creating?

What would you change if you could?

What fears are keeping you from the fulfillment of your dreams?

Love Thyself Thanks Be To Our AnimalLove to Truly Companions

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

Are you able to embrace the beautiful reflection that you see...and smile? Each of us is unique, a one of a kind individual with infinite possibilities.

The manifestation of love begins within the depth of our core being. At the very depth of our core is our inner child, the little you. Self-love begins with the acknowledgment and embracing of the inner child; acceptance and allowance of you.

Self-love

forms the foundation of your single most important relationship—that with yourself. The strength of all your other relationships is exactly equal to the strength of that foundation. To love yourself is not just a self-esteem boosting piece of advice.

It is the prerequisite to truly loving others. The Golden Rule tells us to “love your neighbor as you love yourself”. You are likely to have heard it many times expressed in different ways, thinking it is about loving others. Look a little closer though, and you will find that at its very center is the command to love yourself.

The Mistaken Identity of Self Love: First, let us dispel some myths about what it means to love yourself. Self-love is not about being vain, arrogant or egotistical. It is not about comparing yourself to others or competing to determine if you are good enough, or measure up to society’s standards that have been put upon you. Self-love is the allowance and acceptance of your Self in totality. The discovery of who you are within, acknowledging your inner truths, self-worthiness and your ultimate connection to Source.

Will the Real Self Love Please Stand Up? To love yourself is to be in awe of the miracle of your existence. It is to accept yourself as you are—the “light” parts and the “dark”, the “good” and

the “bad”, the balance etc.—while knowing that the real you is above the perceived dualities of the physical realm. It is to be willing to receive as much as you are willing to give, and do both equally. It is about knowing your values and your boundaries and honoring them. It is about teaching others how to treat you by showing them how you treat yourself. It is about being kind to yourself. It is about looking after your mind, your body and your spirit; all three. It is about knowing you are worth it, not because of what you have achieved, what you look like or what others think of you, but because love is your birthright no matter what, and it begins with You. What Do You Crave to Hear from

29

Others? Take a moment to think of those things you most need to hear from others. Whether it be that they love you, admire you, accept you just as you are, appreciate you, forgive you or anything else. Take a moment to write down what you wish most to hear from others. Exhaust your list. You will discover that what you most want to hear from others is what you most need to affirm for yourself of as your positive attributes. You should now have a list of positive affirmations tailor made for you. Repeat them every day, morning and night, and include them in what are called creative visualizations. Visualize in great detail, these positive attributes as you again and again with all of the senses i.e.: what do you see? what do you feel? what do you hear? what does it smell like? And soon you will enjoy a sense of self, love and inner peace which will be more vivid and stronger than you ever before imagined.

You Can Only Give That Which You Have: It is an obvious statement that you cannot give something that you do not possess, yet so many people desperately love others without having or giving love to themselves. It is little wonder that in time their reserves of love are exhausted and their relationships falter. To give love, you must first have love. To have love, love yourself. Only then will you be able to truly love others for the pure joy of loving them. Give the love you wish to experience to yourself and you will find all your relationships transforming in miraculous ways.

There is a Single Source of All Love: There is a single, intelligent Consciousness that pervades the entire Universe— all knowing, all powerful, all loving, all creative and present everywhere at the same time. Through all of history this Single Consciousness has been revered by many names: God, the All, Brahman, the Universal Mind, to name but a few. It is

”

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

“

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

the Source of All Love. It is Love. When you know and understand the truth that you are one with the One Source of All Love—that your very essence is love— then you will have discovered unconditional love for yourself and unlimited reserves for everyone and everything. You will know that to love yourself is to love the One Creator.

The Benefits of Self Love: Loving yourself is a win-win for all. It provides you with an inner happiness, confidence and peace of mind that is not easily swayed by outside influence, events and opinions. It allows you to make healthier choices and the best decisions across all areas of your life from intimate relationships to finances. It allows you to truly rejoice in other people’s good fortune rather than wondering “why not me?” and quietly resenting the success of others. It enables you to be more genuinely loving towards others and to be of greater service to the world at large. Ultimately, the more you love yourself, the more everything and everyone you encounter benefits, flourishes and thrives.

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” — Siddhartha Gautama Buddha When you are one with the Source of all love, and one with that you are connected to everything and everyone, you will know that you cannot possibly experience true love without first loving yourself. You will have discovered that selflove truly is the greatest love of all.

Add IN Crowd OUT A New Approach to Meeting Nutritional Goals

J

by Dianne Rini

ust into our new year, the momentum to set new goals for the remaining of the 365 days this year is surely still in the air. It’s exciting. Most often within those goals is to change our nutrition. But once we start making that list of what we should give up either from our diet or everyday activities, we lose that enthusiasm.

Usually we are giving up foods we have eaten and a way of life we have been living for years. And then the dreaded remembrance, “ Wasn’t that my New Year’s resolution last year too, or two years ago?”

Not much success. But with a new way to meet your goals, by

by little, you begin to make time

35

for 10 extra minute a day - adding in more and more time to meditate because now clarity has set in and your day begins stress-free and happy!

Making good changes in your life is not about giving up anything that you like. The idea is as you add in good healthy foods, healthy activities and positive thoughts to your daily routine and eventually your body will start to feel the benefits and these positive add-ins will start to crowd out that extra cup of coffee in the morning, that muffin/bagel

mid-morning,

or

that double decker ice cream cone or chocolate bar (the whole bar of course) for that late afternoon craving before dinner and that negative chatter in the back of your mind. Now that your energy levels have increased, you start adding in more activities and more days at the gym and even more green salads and good foods because you like the way it all makes you feel, and you actually see the difference because you look great!

By now, I think you get the point.

Don’t sacrifice by giving up anything. Rather add in the good stuff

Tips to Better Choose the Good Stuff: Sugar ~ Fresh fruits are wonderful source of natural sugars to nourish the body with, ideally organic. However for some, depending on where the effect of their eating habits has them, even fruit is too much sugar for them, so do as you need to on this. Otherwise, below are some great examples of nutritious forms of sugar that you can use and even cook with and are good for you, also ideally organic: Coconut sugar - Granules with high nutrition properties. Great to bake with.

Coconut Nectar - Thick liquid consistency with an almost caramel taste. Great for desert sauces melted with dark chocolate with 70% and over. Both the coconut sugar and nectar have a very low impact on the blood sugar, which is good for everyone not just the diabetic.

Agave Nectar - While there is some controversy on this one, to me it is good on everything i.e. mixed with cinnamon on toast.

and it will crowd out the not so good

stuff...organically!

This

approach will get you well on your way to meeting all your nutritional goals.

Stevia - Liquid or powder.

Many good brands to choose from. Look for the ones without unhealthy fillers added.

A quick recipe:

Homemade fruit spread in a flash.

I ran out of fruit spread once so I came up with this in a pinch.

Tastes great, it’s healthy, and it’s simple. You can make just a couple servings for your needs at the moment, or jars of it.

Homemade fruit spread

Ingredients:

(as much or as little as you need): Fresh or frozen berries - Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries etc., ideally organic.

Chia seeds - Usually 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon is good depending on how much you make. Not too much as you don’t want it to over power the fruit.

Chia seeds have additional health and hydration boosting qualities.

Agave or Coconut nectar - To your taste, may require experimentation.

Directions: Take a 1/2 cup of fresh berries in a small bowl or cup and mash them up until they are almost like a puree.

Then add in the chia seeds and coconut nectar to taste (or any sweetener of your choice-you might want to experiment with different ones). Depending on how thick you want it, you can add a touch of water until it is the consistency you like.

Let it sit for a bit so the chia seeds have time to gel up. Then, just spread it on your toast! Refrigerate it.

A Voila! Fruit spread for your toast in the morning. So good and so good for you!

Wishing you a happy, healthy, add in/crowd out time with this! WP Dianne Rini is a Holistic “Healthy Life” Coach from The Institute of Integrative Nutrition and an Energ y Healer. www.allwithinnutrition.com

February Aries - 3/21 – 4/19

The central feature of this month for you revolves around you recognizing your inner guidance. It is time for you to take hold of that inner guidance in a deeper and more realistic way. Even though you are connected to your inner guidance, it is time to let go of the fleeting quality you assign to it.

Maybe it is childhood beliefs, self-doubt or laziness. Whatever it is, let it go.

While playing the fool, as you sometimes do, can provide relief and reflection on truth, you know it’s your fallback as a way out of taking your inner guidance seriously. Have patience with yourself. You are so ripe to give birth to a more mature and deeply grounded connection to what you have always hoped would be there for you. It only takes a little more of your participation to connect the dots of your inner guidance with life’s circumstances surrounding you. You’ll see, the inner guidance reveals meaning to the circumstances.

When everyday challenges are given meaningful understanding, you move past any dilemma. Old patterns that obscure and bind will be a thing of the past, revealing more and more of the light within.

Taurus - 4/20 – 5/20

Because of your receptivity, both conscious and unconscious, and your depth of readiness to receive, many streams of light are available to you right now. You are in an astrological position to receive which means you have earned sets of circumstances that can turn into great blessings.

The results of the opportunities are all up to you as it depends on what you do with the circumstances. Part of your success is because of your courage. You have a relentless quality to make something you start take root and it is that tenacity that sprouts roots for you.

You will face an isolating patch since behind the scenes of your conscious perception there is a profound bal-

Astrological Psychology

2013

ancing participation that you came in with. Just know that and move forward with courage. This patch is actually a transitioning from one set of energies to a new higher functioning set. During this patch you will feel a burden, like a load on your back. You will discover some details of the burden as you set it down. You will discover that your very existence is here to ‘Be’; set your goal to sit in the naked truth of this. Before there, you must settle into the decision to fight or surrender. Your deep seeded habit of fighting has run its course. Your courage will see you through any inclination to procrastinate here.

From time to time you will be feeling some stress as you juggle the characteristics of your life. Be assured you will awaken to the field of all possibilities. Turn to your guides for help, while remembering they have many faces. Ask the following to discern 1) Do you know me, 2) Do you love me, 3) Do you have my best interests in your heart, 4) Take off all masks.

Ask those that fail these tests to return to Source. This will allow an effortless peeling away of the conditioning of this life and all past lives.

At the same time, in proportion to the intensity of your desire, more of the real You that your life purpose is all about will be revealed.

Gemini - 5/21 – 6/20

You can stop clinging to the past.

While the past does provide some reliable understandings of life, the past clouds the field of all possibilities in the present. For some, clinging to the past also gives a sense of certainty or safety. To the extent that you feel lost, the very reason of your existence is imploring to be discovered; which may only be discovered in the present, not the past. Sit atop your awareness everyday, opening yourself to the infinite wonders available to you. Ask for the highest to come into your life in a way that stretches you without overwhelm-

ing. Surrender all that you have; because it is also the past. At this time there is a particular set of energies that are ripe for you, best summed up as ‘letting go’. Absorb this concept, practice it and recognize it in action. You will soon embody it.

Letting go of the past will bring up some obvious and some subtle sorrow. This is also all from past ‘loss’.

Integrating sorrow enriches the present. It is a signpost pointing deeper into the purpose of your life, the opportunity to fulfill your existence.

Whether you face what you feel you lost or look and run, you will move forward according to your capacity.

Be kind to yourself regardless, because each time you take a deeper look at yourself, you shed conditioning, allowing more and more light to be present. This in turn opens up more and more possibilities of fulfillment for you.

Cancer - 6/21 – 7/22

Even though there is a sense of being isolated in life, it is quite the time for you. In the depth of that aloneness, there is a deep, new, yet very quiet inner guidance available to you. The sadness that comes up in the isolation is actually the remnants of your clinging to what you ‘know’, what is known rules out possibilities. Possibilities are in the present. Choices from the past can be dumped; let go of what you think you know. You are in the present to experience the present circumstances which appear to be familiar yet are present for a whole new set of teachings.

Avoid postponing what is up for your consideration. You will have to face a well-known tendency to hold on to what you have. Here again you will be challenged to move past what you think you know. You will be challenged to be open to experience the present, in the present, in a fresh new way. The good news is that you are scheduled to succeed. Just trust and move forward.

It is your courage to dig into what Is that got you the presents that you have right now. Trust to let go of all that you think you know and all that you think you have, in favor of the new present. You will be amazed and surprised in a delightful and quickening way. Your future is going to provide you with the breakthrough you seek, beyond your imagination and expectation.

Leo - 7/23 – 8/22

Being armored and ready to fight brings you an opportunity to recognize this pattern. Even in situations that are without threat, your armoring interferes with the opportunities at hand. Thus the intensity of the blessings available to you are being miss-perceived. You currently have the elements available to you to understand and to start going with the flow when called to do so and in your best interest. And as these new blessings come into your life, watch for the ordinariness of the blessing.

Being ordinary is quite okay. Each time you find the ordinariness in the extraordinary you open up to and invite the next round of grace to come in.

You will find yourself turning inward with more and more comfort. While you will still notice the ghosts of the past for a while, you will begin seeing beyond the burnt rope to a deepening peace. Behind the scenes of your awareness, change is eminent and pending. The change is the cosmic divine right order coming your way.

The dream that you find in the depth of your heart of hearts is now very close to the surface of your awareness. Receive it.

Virgo – 8/23 – 9/22

We find traveling happening here.

Some will be traveling geographically, some will be traveling inwardly, and some both. As you find your destiny, the circumstances of what Is, embrace it; this is the key. Embrace what Is and learn to let go.

You will start finding extraordinary experiences stunning your perceptual boundaries as they creep into your awareness. This happens slowly because one needs references for perception to come into sensory awareness.

Morality comes up now, principles of right and wrong, actions you are

willing to take and those where you draw the line. You are going to find yourself stretched between two irreconcilable choices. This will leave you in more pain than makes sense because of subtle almost unconscious sadness deep within. Part of the sadness resides in the unknowing of the purpose of your life, whilst a strong urging to participate in something more than what is happening in your life today. Part of the sadness surfaces from the unmet need to be in control in order to be okay. This is a recipe for disaster. The choice: have that disaster, or turn inward to discover what is beyond your thinking.

You have been fighting and suppressing your innate intuition long enough. As you turn inward you will start to feel Source, and in that you will undergo a rebirth. The rebirth is a new start in how you think of yourself, what you think is possible for you in life and/or what you are willing to do to actualize a real life. Trusting in yourself gets you started, moving beyond the exhaustion that has been plaguing you for longer than you know.

You will recognize that you are a lover in the depth of your heart of hearts.

The lover there for you to bring into your awareness from the depth of your being is beyond your current concept and experience of love. As profound as your experience of love is, you are moving toward something way beyond. The depth of ordinariness that you experience on the heels of moving into a depth of love beyond what you have known, opens the field of possibilities for you. It is abundance beyond abundance that is coming to you.

Libra - 9/23 – 10/22

The field of all possibilities is right in front of you, and you are looking back. Look onward. You talk yourself into being okay with scraps and crumbs when the main course of life is available. Eat the main course.

Why? Guilt is the real culprit. Guilt is just you telling yourself you are not good enough. It’s you telling yourself that you are responsible for the misfortune of others. It helps you have something outside yourself to blame rather than look-

ing within and finding out the truth.

Looking within will actually give you a healing. At first you will want to control what you see by explaining it away, by bringing intellectual understanding into play. Intellectual gymnastics will never give you what you are looking for. You will have to move beyond illusion and find the true Self within. Once you start, and gain some clarity about who you are, you will propel yourself into a celebratory place. You will begin to dance and sing over the simplest of things. You will feel joy in the breeze touching your face, spontaneously.

Awareness is your most powerful guide. You have a certain amount of awareness that grows only as you move more and more beyond illusion, which simultaneously welcomes healing in. The awareness that is being talked about is the seeing through the veils of reality. As you become more and more committed to seeing truth, the more you will be exposed to the possibilities in seeing and knowing absolute truth. A real flowering of the best that a life can offer is in store. You taste the sweetness that is born of absolute truth, an infinite unfolding for those that want to play and do the work.

Scorpio - 10/23 – 11/21

Up the ante in being friendly with common sense discernment as to whom and in what circumstances, i.e. at the farmer’s market, playhouse etc.

Being friendly is a way of exercising your heart. Also practice forgiveness. Do inventories on past injuries all the way back to grade school and let those that hurt, teased and made fun of you, off the hook. Why not?

Holding onto resentment from the past only drains your emotional currency in the present. The deeper the resentment, the longer it will take to notice your bank account filling back up; but trust me it will greatly open your capacity for joy and be the receptive aspect of you that is one of your sweetest attributes. Some of you have isolated your receptivity to one or two areas, or solely with your children’s antics. The fact is that you have so much more capacity.

Use it to expand your heart muscle in new ways; being safe of course.

FEBRUARY 2013 ASTROLOGY continued from page 41

You have a natural capacity to be creative. The areas of your life you are currently creative in are only the surface of how your creativity can catapult you into a deeper and sweeter life.

Your innate creativity can also fuel your friendliness, and you will have so much more fun than trepidation.

Deep inside you have an awareness that sees through the veils of reality. You might ask, what does this do for me if it is deep inside and almost unconscious? Be curious about this aspect of yourself. Being curious is one of the easiest keys to discovery. When you access all the possibilities you are ready for is up to you and the masterpieces of work you are creating in prep to receive.

Sagittarius - 11/22 – 12/21

balancing dynamic can catapult you into a new dimension of being, based upon you going for it, or not.

Capricorn - 12/22 – 1/19

You have fought the good fight.

Stuff is stacked up all over. It is time to do some clutter-busting. Personal, relationship, work, home take your pick. The result of holding on to stuff that you think you may need, putting off clearing away stuff you have lost interest in etc. is exhaustion. Ever wonder why you get tired so much easier? Let your strong constitution lead you in the knowing that life has an infinite field of possibilities, and clear away the clutter. Taking on all that is true and exciting all at once, and not clearing out, results in little completion.

Keeping a lid on things has become way too tiring. Your practice of not taking action has been begging to be addressed for some time. Even though some of the actions are small things that you think ignoring is okay, there is a critical mass that has started robbing you of the energy to take the action necessary for the important things in life.

A new leaf is ready to turn in how you approach the many fun and interesting projects in life. Simply make a list and start at the top. Put three things on the list and put the rest in storage, give it away, or let it go. This includes having that talk with your partner, friend or boss. Projects that have been ignored must be addressed.

Fighting and being prepared to fight has lulled you into a false sense of security. Source that you know and that you are, does expect you to help yourself in all ways possible.

Your inner awareness has become much more visible to you of late; take action on what you notice.

Isolating yourself to be safe is tying up a huge amount of abundant energy, otherwise ready to express itself. The only thing in the way is your perception that your problems are the fault of someone else. This kind of thinking keeps you distracted and unaware of the blessings.

You can do it. Embrace your knowing that you actually do trust your intuition. Take the action that is revealed by it, and in the future once you have cleared the decks some, your awareness about what to really do in life will become much more understandable. In that understanding you will find a great deal more happiness.

At the same time that you have been suppressing what is begging to be dealt with, you see/know beyond the illusion. This is an interesting dilemma. On one hand you see/know the truth, and on the other hand you have been working hard to suppress it. The success in your future is postponed as long as you persist in this. Or the future can produce a completion that is beyond your imagination. This spiritual-psychic

Aquarius - 1/20 – 2/18

Laziness coins you this month. Being lazy depends on the potential at hand. If you have a lot of potential, then being lazy can describe a holding back from actualizing that potential. Oh, and in this case a result of being trapped in a moral dilemma.

Morality is comprised of a set of beliefs that create boundaries, lines that can and cannot be crossed. It takes courage to examine long held beliefs, and to discover that there are beliefs that made sense when you were a child that are now empty or at the very least need modification. Inside there is a well of harmony that supports you as you examine your life and the beliefs that hold it in place.

As part of your examination, look at areas that feel like you are carrying a heavy load. As you look, please try to avoid comparative analysis. Instead, settle deep into your heart of hearts to know your own truth. You will be faced with a conflict in politics.

That conflict is in the fact that you show most people one face and hide your real face. Examine the hidden aspects of your life. You will find a new vision of what is important to you that will lead to breakthroughs.

At first you will be tempted, to postpone taking too deep a look. That is okay, just please return to sitting in the depth of the Source within. In the Source, in your heart of hearts, you will begin to experience an upliftment, something new and magical. The success will be a subtle excitement, perhaps hard to notice because it will be new. In that new experience, it will excite you, which you will recognize as different than fear and anxiety as you sit with the truth of what Is; nothing hidden.

The awareness that can come from this will part the veils of reality. Begin to know life in a whole different way, without masking the truth. This is just the tip of an iceberg to become aware of, to experience, and to enjoy.

Pisces - 2/19 – 3/20

That which you have been seeking, that which you have been praying for is presently coming into view. A new vision is ready for you. You are going to have to trust what you see.

You are going to be lifted up into a new dimension of life. Surely your ability to trust yourself is aiding you.

Now it is time for you to move beyond your comfort level. You are being called to let go of your security blanket, which you may be unaware that you are holding onto. Having a security blanket means that you have wrapped some belief(s) around some definable concept that makes you safe, worthy, capable, justified etc.

It is your readiness for adventure that moves you forward into the unknown. There is a pot of gold in the rainbow right in front of you. Stepping into that rainbow is a guaranteed adventure. You will be celebrating as you move forward, as will we as we watch.
