The OBE is a tool that can be used to advance personal growth, self-confidence and self-awareness, by allowing us to have direct personal experiences by the development of our capacities, and to address the most fundamental questions of life such as 'what is the purpose of my life?’ The OBE is not a dream but a real event in which we can consciously travel to other realms, visit places, meet people, and expand our knowledge of non-physical dimensions. Over 25 techniques to produce OBEs and improve bioenergetic control are taught and practiced in the entire CDP course. The IAC (International Academy of Consciousness) is a non-profit worldwide organization dedicated to the study of consciousness, OBEs, near-death experiences and paranormal phenomena.

s we all emerge into a new year, ripe with promises of hope and change, many of us face an identity crisis that has stopped us in our tracks. The question, “Who am I, and what is it that I am truly here to do?” is one that is lingering in our minds. Many of us have left the money-making race behind, realizing that it has not brought us to where we originally intended. But we are subsequently left with a gaping hole in our minds, wondering, “What next?” Energetically, we stand at the threshold of a great rebirth, an emergence into a new era of thinking, of being, and of doing. It is in recognizing and appreciating the power of the collective that we can begin to gain clarity in our own lives, and move from worrying about “me” to focusing on the good of “we.” This move from “me” to “we” consciousness is happening on many levels of our psyche, and it is the key to moving away from immobility and moving into unity with the workings of the universe. There are many areas in our lives within which we feel the need to transition, this shift from “me” consciousness to “we” consciousness will not only help us to shift our internal mindsets and move forward in our personal and professional lives, it will also serve a much greater purpose:

the evolution of humanity and the care of the universal soul of Mother Earth that we all inhabit.

Personal Relationships Shifting our personal relationships requires us to shift from focusing on what we need to get out of a relationship to focusing on the purpose that the relationship serves in the universe. In decades of the past, divorce has been on the rise globally. Together, we have all been focused on what we were or were not getting out of a relationship. It has been through this focus on “me” that we have lost our way, and it has been through this focus on “me” that our relationships have lost much of their purpose, for when the relationship no longer is serving “me”, people feel the need to leave. In the shift to “we” consciousness, we all need to ask ourselves these questions;

What purpose does this relationship serve in my life? What purpose does the relationship serve in my partner’s life? Is it possible to continue to grow within this relationship?

When we can allow ourselves to step back and look at the bigger picture of a relationship, we find clarity. As long as there is growth, there is always hope, and there is always a possibility of moving forward. It is when we shift our focus to these purposes, other then solely focusing on what is serving our individual needs, that our personal relationships begin to change and we simultaneously shift the energetic grids that surround the earth. For just as we are all energetically connected, our relationships with ourselves and with our loved ones form a web of energy that affects every other relationship on the planet. How can we find peace as a planet, if we cannot find peace within our own lives, and within our own homes? It is impossible. The change starts within us, it starts on the smallest levels, it begins within.

Work Other then our connection to our personal relationships, our connection to our livelihood is perhaps the one that we spend the most time cultivating. When we chase personal goals, it does not take long to realize that materialistic goals are shallow, and often leave us feeling as though we want more. When we focus on what we are getting out of our work situation, whether it be money or security, it is easy to find jobs or careers that fall short of truly satisfying us. With the evolution in human consciousness, we will all find ourselves looking to be part of something

Tending to the Soul of

From ‘Me’ Consciousness to

bigger. For some of us, this will take a surrender of ego: a move from the big cushy office to work in the trenches, where we may be of greater service. It will undoubtedly be a sacrifice for many of us. But, this is not the time to stay within our comfort zones. Instead, we are being challenged to step outside of the boxes we have been sitting in, and view the world from a higher perspective. This is a perspective that requires courage and determination to follow.

Health We are all feeling the physical pains of our emotional wounds in one way or another. As we move into a new way of living, we step away from the propensity to view all of our problems as singular illnesses and diseases that we suffer from and need to seek treatment or remedy for. In embracing this new consciousness, it requires that we have the courage to look deeply within our symptoms for their root causes that lie within our souls. In the quest for the quick fix, we have all learned our lesson. We know there is not one miracle pill,

treatment or surgery that will change everything in our lives, because until we deal with the root cause of our problems, they will continue to manifest in different forms. Indigenous Shamans view all disease as an invasion of a spiritual force within our bodies. Once they are able to recognize the spiritual energy and release it, then the person they are working on will be cured. By treating the body as a holistic unit, we recognize that in order to truly heal, we need to address our symptoms on many levels. We need to engage our conscious minds, along with the powerful healing capacity of our unconscious to unlock the deeply held beliefs and wounds that are keeping us sick in the present. When we are able to affect this change within ourselves, the result is a domino effect energetically. When you are working through your stuff, it makes it even easier for others around you to work through their stuff, and the contagious nature of change and growth goes on and on, until we begin to see healing on a global scale that we would be unachievable with medicine or surgery.

Environmentalism The evidence of an emerging “we” may be most easily seen in the case of our relationship with the planet. As we see the destruction that years of focusing on “me” has brought, we must resolve to work together to bring about massive change for

the healing of our beloved Mother Earth. However, it is important to remember that it is not only through acting responsibly in regards to recycling, gas, utility usage and chemical consumption that we can bring about change, but also through many of the forced changes that we, as Americans, seem to be resisting lately. It is through reanalyzing our consumption of material goods, food, media and even knowledge, that we can truly affect the energy of the planet in a momentous way. Many of us have been raised with the mindset that more is always better, and even though we may consciously act to bring simplicity into our lives, subconsciously we mourn the loss of unlimited access to what we once had, and to the limitless pursuits that we once followed. Today’s situation has come about with divine timing, and as we allow ourselves to let go of our old ways, brighter, stronger days will emerge. It will take time and patience to be able to release our old ways, to realize that money is not our security net, and that true security in this world can only be found inside. It is through this newfound sense of security that our new earth will finally emerge. It is only in tending to our own souls that we can truly begin to heal the planet and tend to the soul that is greater than any one of us, the soul of Mother Earth. It is through the healing of ourselves that the healing of our world will come about. The time is here, there is no turning back. Are you ready to make the change?

The 5Râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Green (and Greener) Living by Alegre Ramos

ost people can quote the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle. However, since becoming a mantra of the green movement twenty-plus years ago, their meaning has been diluted. In addition to being updated, the 3R’s need to be expanded in order to make them relevant to our modern life. What follows is the Green and Greener 5R’s for green living in the modern day. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the R’s, both the original version and ours, are hierarchical in their structure, meaning R1, reduce, has the most beneficial impact.

R1: REDUCE Restrict use of raw materials and energy by reducing consumption. This is the step that has the most opportunity for reducing your footprint on the planet. In some ways, it is the easiest step, since it requires no action; however, it does require a shift in mindset while shopping. A good way to start on your path to reduced consumption is to give yourself a “consumer time-out” when you find something that you like but don’t need. Don’t buy the item right away. Instead, go home and give yourself 24 hours to see if you really will use the item. If you go home and forget about the item, you probably didn’t really want it. If you can’t stop thinking about it, go ahead and give yourself permission to get it. If you find that too difficult, then buy the item, but don’t use it right away and keep the receipt. If after a week you still haven’t used it, consider returning it. Reducing doesn’t just mean not buying things, it also means using your current resources more efficiently. For instance, reduce your printer margins to use less paper, drive 55 miles per hour and get 20%+ more miles per gallon, use drip irrigation instead of sprinklers or buy used. Getting into the reduce mindset will really get you thinking differently about the way you live and use things and soon you’ll be finding ways to reduce that are easy but have a big impact.

R2: RESEARCH Once you’ve decided you really need to buy something, do the research to find the “greenest” option out there. Questions you should ask include: is the product made with recycling in mind? Did the company who made it pay a fair wage for its

manufacturing? Is the product non-toxic? Where was it made and can I get it more locally? Do your homework. This step will also help with step R1: reducing consumption because sometimes you might find that there is no green option out there, and maybe that means you shouldn’t buy the product at all.

R3: REUSE/REPURPOSE/

REPAIR/RETURN

Traditionally, the second R was reuse, however, this is a little narrow. For instance, you are reusing a plastic water bottle by refilling it with water a second time. However, you could also repurpose it by using it as a bird feeder. Also, once something has broken you can make it useful again by repairing it. The fourth option is to return the product to where it came so it may be reused. The benefit of

Big change comes from lots of people making little changes. returning over recycling is that the product doesn’t need to undergo an energy intensive remanufacturing (aka: recycling) process to be useful again. Repurposing can also be fun in that it encourages you to look creatively at the resources you have. For instance, when we remodeled Green and Greener, we took the old vinyl blinds from the previous tenants and applied them to the walls as a decorative finish and we turned old wine crates into speakers.

and energy, so it’s not the cure-all many believe. Almost anything can be recycled, but the real question is, is it valuable enough that someone is actually doing it? Use the web to find the what/where/how of recycling. Two good resources are the National Recycling Coalition’s site: http:// www.nrc-recycle.org/localresources.aspx and LIME’s guide to “How to Recycle Everything:” http://www.lime.com/ features/limes_guide_to_recycling.

R5: RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL You might still have some items to dispose of and the key is to do this responsibly. Remember that fruit, vegetable and yard waste doesn’t have to be thrown away; it can be composted (which is step R3.) Most metal, paper, plastic and glass can be easily recycled locally (step R4.) Other traditional “trash” items have green alternatives, such as biodegradable cellulose sponges substituted for the synthetic variety and rechargeable batteries instead of single use. Items such as compact fluorescent light bulbs, single use batteries, prescription drugs, electronics and paint thinner are just some of the “household hazardous waste” (HHW) that needs to be disposed of properly in order to not contaminate the land and water in your area. It only takes a little mercury or lead to do real harm to ground water and you’d be surprised at how often these two metals show up in products! Check with your city’s waste pick-up for HHW drop-off locations in your area. Often, living a greener life means you will have fewer HHW items because you will have reduced your consumption of these items to begin with.

R4: RECYCLE

With a little practice the 5R’s will become second nature to you and will keep you and the planet healthier and wealthier. Don’t feel overwhelmed by the information, true change comes with time. The key is to do a little bit now and to grow from there. Remember, that big change comes from lots of people making little changes. So make your little change today!

Once you have exhausted the options above, move on to recycling, which has gotten a disproportional amount of the 3R attention considering it is the lowest ranked of the three. Recycling means to take an object and use energy and resources in order to turn it back into raw materials for further manufacturing. While it’s better than throwing an item away, it still requires a lot of transportation

Once, when the above and the below were as one, and the great time clock was not yet started, a great sound was made as the Holiest of Holies spoke out loud for the first time. It was like thunder as the world began to form from Her voice. The genesis air buckled, whining as it shimmered itself free, and then pushed against the primordial waters beneath. Virgin rain turned to icy snow on the quickly rising mile-high mountains. Sparks flew from steaming fissures as fresh tectonic plates heaved above red-hot lava. Atmosphere shook, mountains floated upwards, streams burst forth from cleaved rock and went rushing down to newly-formed oceans. Sweet, cold waters met the hot, brackish deep waters with a hiss and then, everything stilled. Seeing what had been made, She named her blessed creation Earth. She sang into being stars, sun and moon to amuse her planet child. She lovingly greened the youngster land and blued the infant sky. She wobbled this new creation to sleep. Around and around She turned with her beautiful child in the celestial sky. She whispered a promise across her child’s dark waters on that first night; to always protect her. Then she let the planet slumber and grow. And she watched from a great distance with hope and joy to see what would become of her. But as every good mother knows, she required sitters and guardians for her precious child. They would watch over her while she was away. Once more she uttered a great sound and her cry for the guardians was heard. Hail from the East! Welcomed was great Cybele, who embodies the Earth, a fertile goddess of dusty caverns and awesome mountains, keeper goddess of wild animals, most especially the kingly lions and the queenly bees. Greetings from the North lands! Estanatlehi was embraced and called Changing Woman as her very presence brought the blessings for rites of passage and for the changing of seasons. Westerly compliments! Shakti sang herself into the circle and danced upon the Earth to music only she could hear. And her sacred peacocks danced as well and the world knew power. Warm salutations from the South! Gaia came, her belly full and round with the idea of creation. She spoke the ancient words of fertility and the child called Earth grew. Then above all the Auroras and their doomsday hound was called. They heard the First Mothers’ call and came to be

appointed as watchers over all of creation, most especially over Earth. And they swore to protect her from the sweet human creatures upon her surface. They, called the Zoryas by some, came from the skies beyond the beyond and are seen as three burning stars to hold safe three sacred hours of Earth’s day. The fiery morning star opens the gates each dawn for the pounding chariot of the sun to pass through. Her long hair streams behind her in the cosmic, electric whirl as the sun rushes past, with his sun dogs crackling on either side of him. She shouts from her battle horses to the day; yah! The cool hands of the evening sister star rush demurely and quietly to close the gates of heaven with a soundless click each night as the sun returns to her home past the horizon. Her gown’s many hues lure him home from his burning journeys across the sky. The anguish prone Midnight Star is often forgotten while her sisters and the world sleep. She laments each night as the passionate sun creeps towards her bed, to love her, and then dies exhausted and spent in her arms, only to be restored to life again as the world turns and he hears once more the warrior call of her sister, the morning star. The three who guard the Earth watch it most closely, but it is their doomsday hound they watch even closer. The wicked dog pulls against his chains, his starving lips curled. He is hungry for the end, with his sharp teeth snapping, waiting to devour the world should it ever step over the brink of destruction. And the hound of disaster crouches, waiting, a low growl under his breath, with this to say;

My starshine mistresses hear your most inner thoughts while you sleep. They know of your fears, intelligence of mind, grandeur of being and of your fragile beauty. She three sees the way of your humankind, so arrogant and so precious at the very same time. They love you as their own, the Auroras, and they hold me back from you, scolding me with witchy hisses. They believe that you will do right and that you will do well by Earth. Honored guests of the Great Mother, I warn you to remember when your planet home was young and beloved. Remember, now, before my hunger overcomes me and I devour it all, so hungry am I for a warfeast. See through Spirit Eyes your beautiful Earth, gifted to you from The Mother. Go now and green her child’s ground again and blue her babe’s skies once more, for the Ladystars three may tire of you someday, and I grow ever hungrier.

To divine is to ask an answer of the gods. Usually this is done with someone else’s skills and gifts to assist you in your search. Divination is age old and includes such devices as tarot, scrying, astrology, numerology, palmistry, pendulums, runes, oracles and more. The practitioners were called ‘diviners’ and a person would visit them in the hopes of receiving information on the past, present or the future. Until the late 7o’s prophesizing was against the law in the United States and the long awaited release of this restriction resulted in many diviners coming out publicly and offering their gifts openly to those who seek answers. Today, even heads of state seek astrologers and numerologists just as they did in the ancient times. As you look for answers all around you, from sources outside of you; consider seeking these same answers from deep within you. While in the hypnotic state you can actually access divine information just as the diviners do. This conversation with your soul is readily available to you and is sometimes even more profoundly felt as you hear in your voice the guidance that is waiting to be expressed. You see, in this method you are reading the messages from the Divine written in your own souls’ book. Any question can be asked and most all questions can be answered. The deep brainwave state that hypnosis provides allows your everyday judgment to suspend and your conscious guarding mind to gently rest as you retrieve truth and wisdom from within.

WHAT IS LOTUSTAR?

The Lotus is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth, because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, and at dawn it rises and opens again. This beautiful flower is viewed as a symbol of spiritual enfoldment; the lotus has its roots in earthly mud, but as it grows upward in aspiration toward the sky - its petals open to receive. The lotus is my totem flower, always reminding me to rise from the mud and reach for the stars…and the stars are a spectacular reminder to me that we came from them once, in a feverish, dramatic explosion and landed here, on this earthstar, to fulfill the sacred work of our soul; healing as above and so below.
