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

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

H

ere’s the good news! You are as loving as you will ever be. You are as good as good can be. Why not allow yourself to enjoy your life without guilt, shame, blame or pain. We humans have put the cart before the horse – we live as though we are human beings seeking a spiritual experience…we are spirit seeking human experiences. We withhold joy, happiness and health from ourselves….living life back- wards. Let’s spring ahead…all of nature does! We can change our emotions! We can create instead of recyling! Decide to live from your soul instead of from your past. Try it! You’ll like it!

Dannion

Brinkley Life after Life The third time is a charm

A man who has had three near death experiences in one life. A man whose intimacy and dedication to death has brought new life to a population of Vets and volunteers.

Interviewed by Tony Camacho

WP: I am sitting here with Dannion Brinkley in his office at the W. LA Veteran’s Administration. We are going to embark on a little journey to discover who he is and where he’s going and what’s happening on our planet according to Dannion. .I want to start off at the beginning, what was like for you growing up, your childhood?

DB: I grew up in South Carolina, basically, in a world of the fundamentalist aspects of religious perspective. I always make it a point that everybody goes to hell where I come from. Much of I what I taught I never could really wrap my mind around. So I developed the art of dealing with everything by hitting in the face first, and then begin the conversation or dialog.

WP: I’m appreciative you’ve moved beyond that point. Mom and Dad were somewhat religious?

DB: Oh, no they were quite religious. But they are the greatest two parents anybody could ever have. I grew up in a small grocery business so I started shucking corn at four years old. The fact that you were a family business you couldn’t fight much or argue very much because it cost money and everybody had a job. But I grew up a tough guy.

WP: Were there any siblings?

DB: An older brother and a younger sister. So I am definitely the middle child. I

just grew up as the tough guy. I found that you got respect. You know I guess when you think about it, Tony, you work all day and every dollar and every penny counts.

You have to find and establish your identity in some way. And mine was that I could beat your ass. That was how I found my identity.

WP: You’re a big guy and when you’re a big guy you can take that position.

DB: I built a psychology around that. I wasn’t so much a brute but I took up for as many people who couldn’t defend themselves. At least as I conceived of it. I played sports. And I was outstanding in football, track and I won scholarships. I discovered steroids and injections in your knees and then your ankles, but I never did any of that practicing football, so I decided not to be a football player during college. I discovered the United States Marine Corps which means the more damage you did the more praise you got.

WP: So you went into the service after high school?

DB: No, I went to college for about a year.

They had the draft then and I knew what number I was. So it was either get drafted to the Army or be all that I could be. The tough guy, bad boy in me wanted to be all that I could be.

WP: What year was that?

DB: 1969

WP: So you had a career in the military for two years, four years?

DB: I was in two years. Two years active duty and four years reserve. So I had an illustrious career in the Marine Corps.

WP: And where were you or did you get shipped out? Were you sent to the front line?

DB: Well, let’s just say this: I was in a lot of different places in the world based on where the Marine Corps decided to put you. Some of the places you still don’t talk about. They say all that is out in the open, but it’s not. So let’s just say that I served in the Marine Corps honorably.

WP: And so you came out of the Marines, were you a single man, or were you married?

DB: Single.

WP: And you embarked upon..?

DB: I embarked upon what would be called the Defense Contracting business. I began to work in government programs. I was a Defense Contractor and contracted for I think every agency.

WP: Was that something you enjoyed or just kind of fell into?

DB: Adrenaline junkie. Didn’t do drugs, didn’t drink. Adrenaline junkie. Success.

Impossible odds. Pulling it off.

WP: So the invitation was to overcome the impossible. The lure of becoming more called out to you.

DB: Get my boys home. I learned too much during the Vietnam era about reality. When you serve in the military, you learn things. What you hear on the news and reality are two completely different stories.

WP: So after your career in the military you made a shift. When was your first death experience?

DB: Yeah, a shift when in 1975 on Sept 17th, at 7:05 pm I was struck by lightening.

It hit me in the side of the head, it went down my spine, dug the nails of the heels of my shoes to the floor, through me in the air, suspended me in the air, slammed me back down on the bed. Dead for 28 minutes; completely paralyzed for six days; partially paralyzed for seven months; two years to learn to walk and feed myself. So I discovered not only that everything I had ever been told was a lie but there is really a life after this one. Dr. Raymond Moody had not written his landmark book Life After Life. So the greatness of Dannion Brinkley in the near-death business came about because Dr. Moody was going to medical school at the hospital they brought me into. And then I spent about a year wearing welder’s glasses and walking with canes. One day I saw an article in the paper where Dr. Moody was going to talk about his newly coming out book about people who had had certain experiences and he was coining the phrase NDE – near death experience. So, I was going crazy, because I had no experience…and by the time I was twenty five years old when this happened I had a pretty good diverse experience about life in general, most people don’t.

WP: So how did you reconcile the experience seeing yourself dead…and then suddenly here you are back alive?

DB: Well I didn’t have a way to reconcile what happened to me during the experience. Being back alive was nothing but pain, paralysis, passing out, sometimes what you would call hallucinations and other times visions. I know the difference between a hallucination and a vision. And I never could quite understand. I would get people to bring me books. But when you lift out of your body, when you go from being blind, paralyzed and burning on fire like drinking battery acid to lift out

of your body into a place that expands… that I not only was a part of it, it was a part of me. I was more comfortable in this place than anyplace I had ever been in my life.

“ ”

Now, because I got up this morning, a veteran won’t die alone.

Dannion with Walter the Tuskeegee Airman.

WP: So to sum up that experience as you speak, was it the experience that we hear about from the gurus, the sensation of aggrandizing to everything.

Was that part of your experience, of being part of the multiverse?

DB: Oh yeah. Connected. That we are all connected. And now theoretical quantum mechanics based on the string theory and the multi universe theory and now the Higgs boson particle being accepted as a connection in the universe. Now I understand where I was. You can tell I have done my homework – you don’t kill me and think I don’t get interested. I’m an expert on lightening and the transmission of electricity. I’m an expert on the near-death experience. Now more than 25 million Americans have had some form of the near-death experience.

WP: And how would you address it?

It’s an interesting question, how it happens, why it happens. Where do you sit relative to the question of it being part of your creation? Of you owning responsibility at some level for everything that occurs in your world?

DB: OK. I believe unequivocally that you choose to come and you are chosen to come.

That’s what creates duality. That’s what creates light and dark, good and evil, choices, conscious choices. But I believe you are divinely chosen. Everyone is going to see their life pass before them in a 360 degree panorama. And you are going to literally become every person you ever encountered and feel the direct results of your interactions between you and that person. That for me was the transition. It was me seeing my life pass before me and what a brutal, brutal….When I got to be all the people I had hurt and humiliated, verbally and mentally, that was the point that changed me. I didn’t have any more problems with what this life was about. Life after death, if it had purpose, direction, and focus, we are all spiritual beings.

WP: Where do stand relative to the question of rightness? You spoke about the notion of something being right and something being wrong, where is your view in terms of anything being right or wrong?

For me I think of it as what it is and now here we are.

DB: Intention. It’s never what you do that matters. It’s why you do it. I believe all the angels go down to the angel bar and they start doing cloud shots and Gabriel will blow his horn and Michael will put down his sword and they’ll say, “I got an idea, let’s go kill Dannion, and see what he does next.” Through each of these experiences, my intentions change. What motivates you? What is the reason for why you are doing it? Why am I a hospice volunteer? That no one need die alone. I understand combat and I understand the issues that come about and you can talk to me.

Why did I create the Twilight Brigade? To teach people what I know from what happens when you leave this life.

WP: It’s a fantastic organization. When did the Twilight Brigade come about?

DB: 1995 – I’ve been here since 1997. I became a hospice volunteer in 1977. I became a VA volunteer in 1983 or 4. And I

became that because I used to take my Dad. When my mother passed away in 1984 she said “Take care of your Dad”.

My dad was a disabled American veteran from WW II. And I discovered an AIDS ward at the VA when I would go with him.

That was at a time when AIDS – you wouldn’t even walk down the side of the street on the place where AIDS was. People were suiting up and putting on gear and all this stuff. I didn’t do that. These were human beings. It was the most depressing place I had ever seen. People had lost their dignity, it carried that stigma.

WP: These were people on the cusp of dying at this point?

DB: Oh yeah. There weren’t a cure. And I fell in love with every one of them. And I began there. I wanted to do something other than contracting. I had a company that did masking systems. We bugged and debugged facilities. In Charleston I found this clinic. And I migrated towards people with AIDS who had served in the military. And it was the most rewarding and amazing experience to listen to their stories. This guy, (in photo lying down on page 7) I screamed him back - he had flat lined and I screamed him back. “You cannot leave me.” And I was shaking him. I

just found the value of myself that no matter how cosmic the near-death experience is, you can find a place to apply it in your everyday life. And so I wrote a little book with the help of Paul Perry called Saved by the Light. It became an international bestseller, a New York Times best seller. It was made into a movie which is the highest rated television movie in history.

WP: It is very interesting that you connected with people that were dealing with HIV and that in essence were dying. I did an interview with Marianne Williamson and she created an organization for this, a need that wasn’t being addressed. Shefounded a home, and the people who showed up were all the men in West Hollywood who were struggling with AIDS. And then she would see them slowly disappear. She would ask where’s Bill, Jim, they’re not here or they are struggling at home. So in addition to the home she created where they could get holistic treatment she provided an outreach program.

She had a powerful bond and connection with them as well.

DB: It’s called the Night Lights. I saw these people who had been rejected by their family who had been disowned, who Continued on Page 11

Brinkley Continued From Page 9

couldn’t face their own selves in the mirror because what they were watching was actively dying, and whoa the compassion; I am going to be everyone of these people.

That got to be downright exciting. Because here’s this big burly asshole coming in the door. He’s not putting on the mask or the cape. ‘Hey guy’s what’s happening?” Smuggling in brownies you know all the things they couldn’t have. And they said “you’re not afraid?” I said “look, you ever been struck by lightening? A little bit of AIDS isn’t scary to anybody man, you know.” And I began to see the beauty in people. So when people ask what are you going to do on your day off?” I am going over to the hospice board. None of us are not designed to fight wars. I have been with 2006 soldiers going from this world to the next. I have listened to their stories.

They know they are not wars. They are business.

WP: The notion of us dealing with death, of actually shooting and killing people is an enormous obstacle to overcome. It’s an incredibly traumatic event. I don’t know how someone comes to terms with it.

DB: You don’t. Right, I don’t think you do. It is a big journey to get there.

You learn to live with it but you find something to use as escapism. Now what they called battle fatigue, shell shock now it’s called PTSD. I just see that I can make a difference. That is why the Twilight Brigade, I believe, is the most important thing in the world to me.

WP: And you have an army of your own, 5,000 people?

DB: Over 5,000.

WP: Do they go through a training process?

DB: A 20 hour training. You learn everything. I created the 20 hour training because I went to a weekend with the Moonies one time with Sun Yen Moon in the ‘70s. Put them in on Friday night at 5:00 and turn them loose on Sunday at 3:30 and you brainwash them, you create a mind shift.

WP: They’re immersed.

DB: How I know it works is in crisis, that training comes back. You ask who lost their husband, lost their wife, lost one of their children. And they tell me how impactful it was.

WP: It’s an incredible gift to give somebody, whether it is somebody who has been in the military or somebody who is simply dying.

DB: We all are going to be a hospice volunteer. I wrote three books: Saved by the Light, Peace in the Light, and The Secrets of the Light. That is my growth period from 25 years old to 59 years old. I was saved by the Light because I found we are spiritual beings with dignity, direction and purpose. Peace in the Light was my strategy to take over the world. I knew that the battle for the souls of humankind would be fought in health care I wrote Secrets of the Light where I took all the things that I had seen from a spiritual point of view, and put them into a book. Saved was what happened? Peace was me dealing with it. And Secrets is about how to take the fourfold path – everything is about love: So this time I decided I would write a book called Ten Things to Know Before you Go: Aspire to

Inspire Before you Expire. You begin to change. Here’s how I sold the book to Harper Collins. I said on the first page what is the number one cause of death in America and most of the country? With a big question mark; turn the next page, and there is just one word: BIRTH. Turn to the next page it says: If you’re breathing, you’re leaving. This book is due in June for Christmas. The human being does two things: gratification or preservation.

It is either trying to gratify itself or preserve itself. Because we are driven by fear. 70% is preservation not gratification.

WP: There is a gratification that comes with the preservation. We can gratify ourselves in the sense that we accomplish this or this or this to keep us alive longer.

DB: But, it’s an illusion. Because you have said how long you will be here and you never know when the bell is going to ring.

It’s gratification that’s the driver. Gratification through service. Once you realize that then there are only three things that a spiritual being ever does: be admired for something; be inspired toward something, or seeks to be inspirational. When you go through three near-death experiences and you spend more than 30,000 hours at the bedside, and you study death because you know it never happens, I know what is going to happen. So I am cracking jokes, getting them laughing, I’m finding humor; it eases the burden. So you appreciate, you admire, or you inspire. Or you are appreciated, admired or you are inspirational.

WP: Do you think the issue of death is about choice, our choice? The unconContinued on Page 27

Integrative Nutrition The Bigger Picture in a Circle

by Dianne Rini

For most of us, what first comes to mind when we see the word nutrition is “food”. We assume that getting in shape and “healthy” depends upon the foods we eat. But is this commonly held health belief true? Is it really just the actual food that we choose to eat that is the defining factor in creating healthy bodies and lives or unhealthy ones?

The foods we eat do make a difference to our health, but they are not as important as the emotions we have while we are choosing and consuming our foods.

Unfortunately we can’t get away from our emotions. We sometimes feel comfort, eating away our emotions or trying to just ignore them, and hoping

they will “go away” – of course they never do.

Which brings us to the bigger picture – “The Circle of Life” (© Integrative Nutrition): healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career, a spiritual practice... All filling your soul and satisfy your hunger for life. These are what are refer to as Primary Foods™, a concept originally developed by Joshua Rosenthal, Founder/ Director of The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Primary Foods™ are balancing and satiating, your life feeds you, making what you eat secondary.

And when balanced, our minds are clear, and we make better food choices.

Remember when we were children, playing outside, having fun and when we were called in for dinner, we wondered why. The passion of play took all our attention – we weren’t hungry! Or, when we were working on an exciting project we truly believed in, so passionate and confident in what we were doing. We didn’t notice the time that passed. We were focused on the project and stimulated by the process – mealtime, and even sleep didn’t matter.

We are nourished not by the food but by the energy in our lives. We hunger not for food but for success, play, fun, love, intimacy, touch, romance, music,

self-expression, leadership, adventure, excitement, spirituality and so many other intangible things. All of these elements are essential forms of nourishment and the degree to which we are able to integrate them into our lives determines how enjoyable and worthwhile our lives feel. When we use Secondary Foods as a way to pacify or restrain our hunger for Primary Foods™, the body and mind suffer.

The end results are weight gain, heart disease, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, depression and diabetes.

These are national epidemics. And why? Because we are stuffing ourselves with Secondary Foods when we are really starving for Primary Foods™.

Maybe it’s not the chocolate cake that causes us to gain weight, but the job that we just can’t bear for another hour.

Or maybe your body needs to move, to play, run and swim. You know where I’m going with this, right? What if you enjoy a small piece of chocolate cake in the afternoon at a job you love? You are feeling great after work. You grab a super smoothie or green drink at the juice bar on your way to the gym or your favorite Zumba class. You dance up a storm and celebrate your great day, loving what you do, and when you finally get home after your workout you are ready to have a light nourishing dinner and relax. You sleep like a baby until

you wake up and do it all over again. It’s a great scenario and you can make it come true. It all starts with different choices.

Don’t obsess about the food you eat. But do take a reality check. Make it important to be honest; make it a priority. How do you feel about you? Make your choices. It’s all about the circle of your life.

The Heroes We’ve Loved and Lost Continue Being Our Heroes Inspired by Memorial Day May 27, 2013

by Medium Hollister Rand

An Imperial Japanese Naval officer in spirit stood in a white uniform next to a woman sitting in my office. As I described what I saw, the sitter acknowledged that this decorated officer was her grandfather. He had proudly served the Emperor during W WII and had been buried in his uniform. As the conversation continued, this grandfather in spirit declared his pride for his grandchildren – three of whom were American born. “I was afraid that my grandfather would be disappointed that our family emigrated from Japan,” his granddaughter told me. However, by mentioning each grandchild by name and recounting each one’s success, he demonstrated this assumption to be false. Despite differences in lan-

guage and culture, he and I had no difficulty communicating.

Much to my relief, he didn’t display any animosity toward a medium whose relatives served in the same war and fought for a country that was a former adversary.

”

A hero is someone who has given his life to something bigger than himself.

”

On the last Sunday in May at a memorial park in my neighborhood, there is an annual service to honor all war heroes. During ceremonies like these, I sometimes catch glimpses of military men in spirit with their family members, or standing near soldiers who have survived combat.

During private sessions a soldier in spirit will often appear in uniform, especially if his or her life and death was defined by military service. Sometimes the spirit soldiers I meet aren’t American.

Joseph Campbell

Several years ago when I was being driven to an undisclosed location for a show taping, I had the sense of a young soldier in spirit and experienced the feeling of an impact to the right side of my face. As soon as I entered the location (which turned out to be a residence) the same young soldier excitedly began giving messages for the family inside.

He mentioned family friends by name, demonstrated to his stepfather that he knew he wore his dog tags and reminded his little sister of the crazy stuff they did as kids. His mother confirmed that he had been shot in his face where I had felt the impact and that was what killed him. “I died while trying to save my friends,” he told me. His mother confirmed that her son, who served with the Marine Corps in Iraq, had indeed saved the lives of others in his platoon. They told me that he always fought to protect the people he loved whether at home with his family, on the football field in high school, or on a faraway battlefield. He made

21

it clear that, even in spirit, he continues to help and watch over his family and comrades in arms.

When I met with an entire family (mother, father and son), a vivacious, personable young woman in spirit began speaking with me. After sharing the American translation of her German name, she told me that she was late for everything – even the job she loved in the city. I knew exactly which city because she f lashed a picture of The World Trade Center before my eyes. She made it clear that she had died on September 11th, 2001; in my mind I saw the buildings implode. Although customarily late for work that day (which caused her parents to hope that she survived) she showed herself running toward the World Trade Center to help others make it to safety. Her parents heard of their daughter’s sacrifice from witnesses who had been there that day. They also knew that helping others was as natural to her as breathing. Some heroes don’t wear uniforms. In fact, some heroes aren’t human.

“There’s a German Shepherd sitting by your side,” I said to a man sitting next to his wife at an event. I had the feeling that he wasn’t entirely open to the experience of spirit communication since his arms were firmly crossed over his chest. “The dog gives me the feeling that he is your partner.” With that statement, the man raised one of his

”

Sacrifices sometimes aren’t considered sacrifices by the people who make them. The spirits remind me of that.

hands to his face to cover his eyes. The dog took no notice and continued to give me information about their life together, including finding his “toy” (which actually meant hidden illegal drugs) and his favorite treat (hotdogs). At one point the dog placed his paw on the thigh of the man in the audience (who was a retired drug enforcement officer). When I relayed this bit of information, the man dropped his hands to his lap and told me that on the day the dog had to be put down, his last action was to place his paw on his knee. Although the dog had received commendations for his lifetime of service, after dying, he offered his friendship...and love.

Heroes die as they lived, by putting the welfare and needs of others above their own. A hero’s self lessness is an immediate response, not a calculated risk. I am grateful that as a medium, I can share the news that a hero’s death isn’t the end of his or her story. After making what is considered the greatest sacrifice, a hero’s supporting strength and love remain with us every day.

The heroes we’ve loved and lost continue being our heroes. Death doesn’t change that.

This Memorial Day, in return, may all our heroes be honored by our gratitude and surrounded by our love. WP Hollister Rand provides specific messages from loved ones living in the spirit world.

God

is as close to you as your

next breath

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

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

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

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

Your Soul Contains

T

he laws of the universe follow the laws of mind.

Thus everything is mental and not material. And in order to understand what it means when we speak of the ‘female’ or the ‘male element’, we first must understand what they represent in mind, in true metaphysical fashion. This allows our full embrace of both, which effects a shift in consciousness, much enhancing their engagement and hence our experience of the things we desire in life. Bear in mind, this has nothing to do with being a man or a woman - both men and women are comprised of both elements.

We are both male and female; however we clearly express what we have ‘more of’. For example, I am a woman because I have more of the ‘female element’ present, and so forth.

Beyond the individual level, universal consciousness also consists of the ‘male’ and the ‘female element’. When used in mind, they are respectively called ‘reason/ knowing’ and ‘feeling/loving’. The male reasoning ability, does the analytical chores; it is the structure of your being, the leader and the guide. While the female feeling ability, does the nurturing, loving, and reacts emotionally. It takes the male

and the female elements, the knowing and feeling, to create anything.

Still, the female feeling or love element is the mother of all creation. Giving birth not only means giving birth to the children of this earth. It means giving birth to ideas, new concepts and inventions, and bringing into the visible everything that exists in our wonderful realm.

Everything you see is a specific idea conceived by a thinker. All things are really ‘thinks’. All things are also desired, nurtured and carried in mind until it is time for the idea to be born and manifested into this world. Be aware that you will only manifest if enough of you is convinced that you can, that in effect to you ‘it is already so’ – because everything is already so somewhere. You are merely calibrating your vibration on multiple levels i.e. via thought and feeling to draw what you desire in – which invites universal consciousness on board to bring it forth into experience. Fully understanding this process down to the specific idea is what actuates the miraculous force of conscious manifestation.

Your healing as well as collective healing occurs when you see yourself as a mentality, a soul – freeing yourself of the sense of male, female, racial, cultural and sexual limitation. Your soul does not have a specific color or race; it is not only a man or a woman. It contains ALL. Be the ALL You Are.

scious way you decide it is going to happen for you when you are 89, when you are 22.

DB: I would have to say that is suspect.

You have X amount of time. You will breathe X amount of breaths. What you do in that time in breathing those amounts of breaths based on your intention while you are doing it will determine the shortness or longevity of your life.

WP: Yes, there’s an underlying intention.

It’s the notion that if we saw somebody with a razor and they cut their wrist, there is an intention to end their life because life was miserable, too painful and they didn’t see a way to get past it. And then we see someone whose weight and health get out of hand because they stuff their pain with food, and one day they have a massive heart attack and they pass. I see those two people as having made the same choice: To bring their life to an end. One was more conscious but ultimately that’s what they were both seeking.

DB: Absolutely... I am committing suicide with cholesterol. There is a point.

And I think that is a very valid point that you are making.

WP: In the broader picture I see the unconscious us is always moving in that direction to make that choice. And maybe one day we wake up and say I should quit eating refined sugary foods and potato chips, and you change your diet dramatically, and you move in a very different direction. It’s shifting gears from going here toward the cliff, to back on the road and I am going to hang out here for a while.

DB: Yes, it’s all about the choices you make and what you place value on. I get up every morning because I have to make a living, and do everything everyone else does.

Now, because I got up this morning, a veteran won’t die alone. I believe everybody is a great powerful mighty spiritual being with dignity, direction, and purpose but they have to look at their spiritual identity.

UNITY WEST SANTA MONICA

eat pray love meditate laugh

WP: Yes, we have to cultivate and discover those aspects within us. We need to be more focused, more attentive, more conscious.

DB: That is the greatest gift. People must find a cause. Like you and The Whole Person. It is a cause that opens up people to possibilities and potential. Not everybody can be a hospice volunteer, but everybody is going to be one. The more you know about death, and the sooner you know about it, the more powerful your life becomes. That is my driver. It took me 18 years to develop these 4 concepts. Four concepts that you combine from Appreciation, Admiration, Inspiration, and Aspiring.

If you have been wanting to connect more deeply with your spirituality but cringe at the thought of “church,” “dogma” and “religion” …

If you enjoy the writings of Charles & Myrtle Fillmore, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Deepak Chopra, H. Emilie Cady, Eric Butterworth, Byron katie, Marianne Williamson, Emmet Fox, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and the like…

Unity West Santa Monica could be just what you have been looking for!

WP: There is a segment of the population that sees it as: when I die, that’s it, the lights are out, and nothing is ever going to happen.

DB: Boy, are they in for a surprise!

310.577.0000

WP: They are. And I like what you said because I think it is very powerful that you can get to a space where you are having this flirtatious relationship with death whether it’s via hospice or someone passing in your family.

Masculine meet T

Feminine

he nature of the masculine is a giving principle, and the nature of the feminine is receiving.

When a man understands that masculinity is a giving principle, he can call out the femininity in a woman. A woman must be filled up with his masculinity to give back with joy.

When she has not been properly given that which she needs, then she is giving back, if giving back, from a state of depletion.

A woman’s energy is a reflection of a man’s treatment of her. This can be proven scientifically and spiritually. Interestingly enough, you’ll never find a man that is as strong as a woman is on the inside, nor a woman who is as sensitive as a man is on the inside. Some men dare not admit their sensitivity. These men are more likely to suffer from abject frustration. And we women may not want to admit it, but words can completely destroy a man’s health, especially after 40 when his testosterone lowers and estrogen increases, due to which he becomes even more sensitive. So in this regard, men don’t need to get in touch with their feminine side, they really need to learn to better

understand their masculinity.

Women absorb info through the affective or feeling side of her brain first. Everything she hears, sees, smells or touches, she feels before processing. This is also exhibited through a woman’s language. Next the info goes to her ‘language center’. A woman has a large corpus callosum connecting the two halves of the brain, which can process a great deal of information (thinking and feeling) very quickly. In order to process info, a women talks about it first. Talking connects what a woman thinks with what she feels. It is the suppression of her femininity when institutions of society, cultures as a whole, or a man doesn’t give a woman space to express herself with words.

For a man, info enters the brain on the logical side, the opposite side of the brain as a woman, which then proceeds to the ‘action center’. He likes to either fix it or solve it. A man’s corpus callosum is fairly small and he prefers to process his feelings in silence. A man has difficulty with communicating and being emotional. A man can only think or feel. He cannot do both until he has developed his corpus callosum to facilitate the transfer of information from both halves of his brain. Until he does that, he does not register information with emotion. Thus he has to consciously ‘engage himself’ in order to truly listen to a woman.

A woman feels what kind of a man one is when she’s talking. If a man’s a good listener then she will feel safe. She only feels safe with him if she feels heard. It takes true masculinity to listen to a woman speak for an hour.

When a woman is both emotional and talking, she can process and access large amounts of information very quickly. She registers details as emotions, so she can retrieve them quickly. The more upset a woman becomes the more expanded her awareness becomes, and the clearer and clearer she becomes when allowed to process.

A man was not designed to argue when emotional. When he tries, he gets stuck on the feeling side of his brain – that is until he further develops his corpus callosum. He can’t get to his logical side to say anything significant and he gets frustrated and says irrelevant things. He needs to go into silence to think about the content in a heated discussion before he can properly respond.

The differences between the two natures even go to the level of the heartbeat and the atoms in the bloodstream. Women can feel their heartbeat just by focusing on it, men need to find it physically – that is until he fully embraces his masculine. And the atoms in a woman’s bloodstream tilt with the tilt of the earth, a man’s do not.

According to a study on 250,000 men by men, there are 3 things

that are most important to a man in a relationship: 1. Appreciation & Respect - If shown appreciation for his actions, he will find more things to do to get more. All religions and spiritual teachings say to respect your man. They don’t speak about loving him. A man does not feel loved without feeling respected. He does not love others unless he respects them (the woman can love without respect). A man calls out respect and appreciation from a woman by drawing out her femininity with how he treats her.

2. Intimacy - Feeling close comes through touch including sex. Sex is the strongest driving force within a man. This energy can be funneled into spirituality. The more sex a man has with a woman, the closer he ‘feels’ to her; less to do with loving here, than closeness.

While the woman can get more sexual enjoyment out of a conversation then sex itself.

3. Her Happiness - The man yearns to please her, and when successful experiences an enormous amount of satisfaction; like purpose fulfilled. Where this is actualized, the giving nature of the masculine is embraced and wow what a perpetually abundant space to create. It helps when a mother teaches the man how to receive love through giving it, and how to give love by unconditionally receiving his.

According to a study on 250,000 women by women, the 7 most important aspects of a relationship for a woman are: 1. Safety - Where he is spiritually and emotionally there, she feels safe. As previously mentioned, being listened to is a big one here. It is received as expression of acknowledgement on a level much beyond hearing with the ears, indicating his sincere aspiration to experience her quintessential being.

2. Defended - She wants him to genuinely be at her defense in the

atoms in the bloodstream.

face of ‘adversity’. This affirms her unwavering cogency.

3. Emotional Support - When the man emotionally supports a woman (versus being hung up on competing with her), she is reminded of her unconditional validity and experiences it.

4. Belonging - She feels like she belongs when he lets her inside his inner world. The man telling and showing her how he works and sharing his perspectives is a way to accomplish this. Her reaction may not always seem to receive this but it is nourishing her none-the-less – a good one whereby to practice not taking things personally.

5. Accepted - The woman wants to be accepted before anyone or anything. This reflects the truth of her absolute adequacy which opens a space for her to more fully integrate it.

6. Cared About - When the man shows her that he gets her, she experiences a sense of being filled up. A dynamic that is met with very positive consequence.

7. Special - She lights up when her beingness is celebrated by the masculine. Light unto light manifests more light, unto each and the One. Correcting the imbalance of energies between the masculine and the feminine comes with the man recognizing what it is to be a man and doing it; all the while the woman doing her part to pave the way, keeping it as obstacle free as possible. The above lists can help tremendously. WP This article is by Dr. Sarah Larsen, Medical Intuitive and Medical Doctor www.DrSarahLarsen.com and is based on the research of Dr. James Beard who does not use research on women done by men or research on men done by women, because the opposite sexes don’t really understand each other.

Mud Earth Mother Healing

by Cherie Kalisher, L.Ac.

Mud has been used since ancient times to heal and draw pain, disease, and unwanted spirits from the body. Many traditional societies throughout the world have sacred places where earth and bubbling springs meet, and people travel there to cleanse themselves of spirits and disease.

Moor mud baths were used in ancient Greece, and Hippocrates mentions their use in his writings.

Moor mud, also known as peat, is formed over 500,000 years, starting at the end of the last Ice Age. It is made up of organically decomposed herbs, grasses and f lowering plants, and pressurized by the earth.

Today, with toxins in greater numbers and concentrations than ever, mud therapy continues to be a lesser-known therapy with big results.

Recent studies show that used externally on the body or as a bath, therapeutic muds have an amazing

capacity to draw out common heavy metals such as lead and mercury. They are also very effective at pulling byproducts of radiation, bacterial or viral infection, and oxidative stress. Muds and clays help cleanse the lymphatic system, and have shown to be effective against pain, inf lammation, and arthritis.

Clays are also protective against radiation as seen when workers at Chernobyl spread Bentonite clay on their bodies before they put on their suits as an extra protective measure. They also gave French Green Clay in chocolate bars to people throughout the area.

My first experience with mud therapy was with Premier Research Labs mud-packing therapy. Growing up in America, I received all the recommended vaccinations.

Recent information shows vaccinations are full of heavy metals. I also had mercury fillings, and was raised on canned food, microwave

33

Those of us who’ve healed with mud hold a deep gratitude and reverence for these gifts from Mother Earth, and here is a quick guideline for some of her common earth therapies:

dinners packed with preservatives. I then spent years living in cities, breathing the metal-laden exhaust from countless automobiles.

It was no wonder that in my mid 20’s I was already experiencing chronic fatigue, indigestion, insomnia, and other symptoms of toxicity. After years of eating a cleansing diet, doing yoga, detoxifying with saunas and cleanses, I still felt more tired than I thought I should. All of a sudden, mud fell into my life.

During my first mudding session, I felt incredible gratitude for the Earth Mother who brought me this healing.

I felt I was being wrapped in her arms, and knew with certainty this process would strengthen my body and restore my health. I said a prayer of thanks to the angels and devas of the earth for providing the cure to modern-day toxicity and pulling these deep-seated toxins out of my system. With mud covering my feet, I felt the channels in my legs open up, and a sensation like energy being pulled downward from my sacrum.

Toxins were finally leaving the places in my body where they’d been stored for years!

I experienced a slight headache for the next few days. Over the course of a couple months, I applied the mud to other areas of my body that tested weak due to toxins or old injury, using a technique called Quantum Reflex Analysis, a form of muscle testing.

It was a major turning point in the health of my body and spirit, and as I spread the mud on my body and physical toxins released, I felt emotional and spiritual toxins release as well.

I’d find myself having visions of people and events I hadn’t thought of in years, and emotions along with them, all coming to the surface of my awareness to be cleansed.

Moor Mud (Peat) – Commonly used externally as a treatment in day spas. Moor mud is effective for muscle and joint aches, arthritis, skincare and detox.

Calcium Bentonite – Thought to be the most powerful clay for both internal and external detox and cleansing. It can be used as a bath or pack externally, or taken internally for toxins, parasites, and digestive issues of all kinds. Its strong negative charge and crystal formation causes it to attract and bind toxins which it then carries out of the body. It has also been used to treat radiation exposure.

French Green Clay – Internally it heals stomach ulcers and binds to toxins. It has been shown effective against MSRA (antibiotic resistant bacteria). It is also used to heal acne, dermatitis, eczema and other skin issues.

K aolin – A white clay used in bath and beauty for sensitive skin and for absorbing toxins including those from insect bites. Internally it is used to absorb bacteria and viruses, healing gastrointestinal upset.

Birthing

Freedom

by V irginia E llen

You have been rising up as time speeds up; I refer to this as the cycle of evolution. The reason for the speeding up of your time on earth is that the earth is moving closer to the energy and light frequency of the Golden Age. The frequency of which is Divine Love, and it vibrates at a very high speed of light energy. The Divine Feminine is the leader of Golden Light, and represents your Divine Love.

The Divine Feminine within each of you has a purpose; she leads you home to Spirit, to love, to peace and to joy.

Once upon a time, the earth and its inhabitants lived in the Dark Age, and its frequency moved very slowly and was very dense. Then the earth moved into the Bronze Age, then the Silver Age, and as you moved, the frequency of earth kept

getting lighter and moving faster. You are now moving into the highest vibration as a planet. 2013 marked the beginning of the Golden Age. All of the systems that are based on lower consciousness and energy will go through transformation into Divine Love. For example the old ways are being dissolved and dismantled in the monetary system.

The world will be at peace and live in higher consciousness as the Golden Light of the Divine Feminine lives through humanity.

As this unfolds, the great energy of pure crystal light within the Sacred Seals, the chambers of this divine energy within humanity that lie dormant, will activate. This activation expands the DNA systems, and the third strand of the triple helix begins to develop. The triple helix brings about great emotion and you begin to cleanse your emotional body at a deep level. Its crystal energy is the purity and power of the Christ Light. You are connected to the earth grids through the crystal light of the Christ within you.

lessly manifests, creates and heals you from the inside out. Shakti begins to dance her dance of life within you, awakening you to your true sensual state of being.

One of the gifts of Her Royal Goddess is her ability to transform distorted energy, preparing you to fully sense life whereby to truly live it. It is this power and wisdom that activates the Sacred Seals, the lost Kingdom within humanity.

Once you activate your Sacred Seals you will be saturated with Divine Love. The Divine Feminine is an abundant mother, constantly caring for you and nourishing you. After the activation you will be taken to the ultimate goal, without a doubt. You will ascend to higher frequencies as the Christ Light activates within, reaching untapped power and wisdom. Your body will be illuminated by the Light within, your soul will be educated, and your mind enlightened.

The commencement of the activation process is experienced as a birth. Very similar to a human birth: spontaneously breathing similar to the way taught in natural childbirth, the inner muscles within the pelvic area begin to contract as in giving birth. The Supreme Intelligence of the God within the Seals begins this birthing process. The Mother within the second chamber is referred to as the Womb of Mankind. The Divine Mother energy found within this womb has the power to

Romance, Finance … and Parents?!

What Mom and Dad Have to Do with How Much Love and Money You Have Now

by Moira Shepard

The

bottom line is that the way your parents treated you tends to become the way you treat yourself … the way you expect others to treat you … and the way you expect to experience Love, Money, Freedom and Life Itself.

“Who do you think you are?”

“You have to pay a price for everything in life.”

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

By George

Since your expectations create your experience, if you want more Love, Money, and Freedom in your life, you need to become aware of and correct the distorted tendencies around receiving that you have inherited from your parents.

Why is that? Your parents profoundly influence your expectations “You get what you expect” What you get depends on how much you are willing to receive.

It’s not how hard you work, what your horoscope says or how the economy looks. It’s whether, and how much, you are willing to receive. Each of us is given according to our ability and willingness to receive.

So, how can you tell whether you are actually as open to receiving Love, Money, or Freedom as you believe you are? Here’s a quick quiz for you: Does money slip through your fingers as quickly as it comes in?

Do you say “No problem” or “It’s

nothing” when someone thanks you?

When you see something wonderful coming into your life, like a great job or a fabulous potential partner, do you think “This is too good to be true” or “I don’t believe it, I never get what I want” or “I better watch out, what bad thing is going to follow this or snatch it away”?

These are subtle ways of refusing your Good without appearing to do so. You do it unconsciously. It’s not your fault. It’s nobody’s fault. Nobody is to blame here. Your parents, with the best intentions in life, may have taught you to refuse your Good. For example, they might have said phrases like:

Your Mom or Dad probably had a hard time accepting Love, Money or Freedom because their parents taught them these were wrong, bad, or against the will of God. That’s all and Sedena Cappannelli they knew, so it’s not their fault.

Now fully aware of this parental cause and effect dynamic, would you like to open to receive? Would you like to know how and why and what it feels like to feel GOOD and SAFE receiving Love, Money and Freedom in your life now? Are you open to understanding you’ve already earned all the Good you can ever imagine? You’re paid up in full!

Would you like to completely trust that you can easily handle the changes that will unfold in your life as a result of embracing Love, Money and Freedom in your life right now?

If so, say “Yes” out loud now and feel what you feel, hear what you hear, see what you see, and know what you know. If you sense nothing, that’s fine. The process is underway. It is possible to clear this all at once, while it may take further awareness and clearing of the ways these mistaken expectations affect your life. However you experience this is exactly right. Well done! WP Moira Shepard, Master Healer, Speaker and Author offers you a FREE Guided Meditation MP3 “12-Chakra Activation for Unconditional Love” at www.MoiraShepard.com

Brinkley Continued from page 27

DB: Loose the fear. Gain your spiritual Identity. Here’s another one. I go in to see a guy. He’s the meanest guy in the place.

So while you are in here grumbling, would you mind putting on CNN so I can watch the news because whether you like it or not I am going to sit here because this is the value you have to me. This guy was a cook in N. Africa. And he pulled up with potatoes in the back of a jeep. And a guy in a bathrobe came out and said is this your jeep boy? Yes sir. He said get those potatoes out and take me to my tent. He said I didn’t know who he was. It was George S. Patton. And he became George S. Patton’s driver all the way from N. Africa to Palermo and all the way to Berlin. To hear him tell stories in a 1939 Jeep in the middle of Panzer against Sherman tanks. Where else in the world are you going to hear those kind of stories? Where are you going to celebrate where heroism is and greatness is? I am just listening. That changes the world.

WP: These are amazing stories. What I hear and what I get from you, which is wonderful and beautiful is this passion in you.

You hold this passion in you to be that vehicle to help somebody cross that bridge.

DB: It comes because I’ve been over the bridge. I know what you come here with and I know what you leave with. If you …

we... all celebrate birth and, are afraid of death. But – we are missing a major piece that death too is a celebration. I have seen people try to kill themselves 6 or 7 times and fail. But if you have ever had a near death experience you never try it again. I had a woman who lived 55 days on a half a glass of water a day waiting, for her sister to come. 69 years old, cigarette smoker, lung cancer and Leukemia. No one can live 55 days on half a glass of water a day but I watched her do it. If you ever want to see wonderment and miracles, do this work.

WP: I have gotten to see the wonderment and the miracles through you. It has been a marvelous experience. It is a very powerful and beautiful. So wondering, what do you see is on the horizon?

DB: World War or World Peace.

WP: Where is it tilting?

DB: We are tilting towards World War. We are geared towards self-preservation instead of dignity, direction, and purpose.

We are trying to preserve something that has disappeared. I went before the Beings of Light, I watched these little boxes, I could watch what happened. We saw a little country called Cypress, the government seized the bank accounts and took 10% of everyone’s money. The European Union is collapsing. Italy will go next and

then Spain. The Chinese are doing the same thing, training soldiers. The Russians are now putting their warships in Cypress. So we are engaging in the collapse of the nation.

WP: Do you see the collapse of the financial institutions here?

DB: It already happened. It happened in 2008. I said that in 1975 too. I said there would be a rise. I said there would become an environmental religion. People made fun of that because that means that the world’s religions would become Pagan. It was called Climate Change. Now it’s Global Warming. Now churches, all the governments, the United Nations, that’s a pretty good environmental religion.

WP: My closing question is, is Dannion Brinkley a Whole Person?

DB: Yes,… but wait I have to stop and say my wife would tell you I always need to improve. Yes, that’s my goal also but I am proud of the distance I’ve traveled, it’s been a long way. Proud to know the impact I’ve had on people.

WP: What a pleasure, delight and honor.

I applaud you for the huge steps you’ve taken in all of your lives.

May Aries - 3/21 – 4/19

A New Vision is already present!

Behind the awareness of your perception, there is an opportunity to connect deeper with a global awareness. And you are equipped with the knowing that it is possible to get past any blocks to that...... right now. There is an aspect of you that is an asset to help you in doing this, it is actually much more valuable than you know. It has to do with stepping into open space without a parachute, which some call foolish, others call brilliance.

One way to step into open space it to take some time to travel. But wait, what’s that chain, that thing that binds you? ... It’s sorrow. Another way to step into open space is right into that sorrow and embrace it – freedom will ensue. The rebel in you will support your step.

Note that at times agreeing to a compromise is an expression of your New Vision because there are circumstances that will ONLY flower being born of a compromise. Some part of what you want is better than all or nothing. No sorrow is necessary about how it may not fully be as you thought you wanted it. This learning is a new level of maturity.

Taurus - 4/20 – 5/20

What is “known” challenges what you are faced with in the present and what you are scheduled to successfully resolve in the future.

In the present, the innocence of your soul (much different than the story of what has happened to you) is the key and guiding light for the actions that you must take

Astrological Psychology

2013 to be successful – success being the fulfillment of your life purpose. When pulled in two directions, the guiding light will tell you when to let go. The guiding light will whisper to you when you are in the depth of a dark night, for ‘the light is there too’. The guiding light will cast on the significance of past lives when knowing so is important. The guiding light reveals to you the armor you are wearing and leads you to soften and shed those which need softening and shedding. The guiding light may at times feels like a burden; eventually you rise above that misinterpretation.

Patience helps here, which over time reveals all things required and necessary to succeed. Pressing forward and insisting to know will ONLY wear you out; be aware of exhaustion and the mental chatter it rode in on. While patience takes a trusting of the almost knowable deeper depths within, to welcome life’s unfoldment as it is, at its pace. Patience affords you the luxury to be generous and to share your blessings with others.

Gemini - 5/21 – 6/20

You find being alone is familiar, even when you are with others. Until now unbeknownst to you, this is one of the steps into the cave of abundance.

If not now, realizing these experiential circumstances as progress will come in time. All of the circumstances of life are exquisitely arranged for your highest ascension.

It is up to you to work with the circumstances to find the gold; for the gold is absolutely there in any and all circumstances.

Note that your inner voice is deeper and clearer as you let go of the ownership. You are receiving some of the inner guidance coming to you but there is much more available. To the extent that you surrender ownership of that inner guidance, the doorway to more opens. Let the credit go to the grand scheme of things, the collaborating force that is responsible for organizing All That Is. This will ONLY strengthen your inner voice, as you are a vital part of the collaborating force.

Are you ready to participate with more? The future of our Golden Age is dependent on all stepping back from personal ownership and participating selflessly.

Cancer - 6/21 – 7/22 It is time to be stretched again.

Embrace with joy because it is what it is. Like it or not. Resist or embrace, you will be stretched.

The biggest asset you have in enduring the stretching is to think of yourself as just ordinary. Being ordinary rather than special.

Watch-out though as for some, being ordinary can show up as being a victim. The highest purpose of being ordinary is that it opens the doorway to the infinite and all possibilities. Truly being ordinary invites grace in. Open the door with ease is grace. Being patient is also something you are practiced at, and this is a time to exercise it. And remember a most useful ingredient of all, the celebration of life. Celebrating life, just the way it is, is another door opener.

It is because of your past that the present current is at rest, under the misconception that the current will once more take you into isolation. Hereagain, being ordinary and celebrating what is opens the door. Some of what will come through your door is sorrow.

This sorrow is of you and of the world; given that you are a part of the world. Being patient, ordinary and celebrating what is, or at least what appears to be what is, removes the veil! Behind the veil there is always another current, flowing moment to moment.

Leo - 7/23 – 8/22

Moving slow and cautious, resting frequently, eating good and being patient leads to some healing for you. This is the time to put all that you know about letting go into practice. The purpose of letting go is to surrender to what is, whether you like it or not. What is will be what it is regardless of how you feel about it. Accepting what is aligns your resources to take action as called for. In the totality of All That Is, Was and Will Be, you are closer to connecting to a deeper level of your life purpose than you know. Thus let go of all that you rely on, the stagnant definition of how life works, in order to connect with what is there for you. This may feel ominous but once you connect with what is there for you, what you had will seem silly in terms of why you were holding on to it as if it were so important.

Note new depths in your experience born from more than merely the practice of being patient.

This deeper space is brought about by the healing you have already allowed, and a preparation for the healing that is coming.

Virgo - 8/23 – 9/22

What you have done in the past is largely what is behind all this

that is up for you right now. The good news is that there is a huge opportunity to clear all of that.

The place where you put all that you are ignoring and suppressing is full! It is time for you to disconnect from people and situations that are done serving you.

Walk away from what is over. Let go of what is unrewarding. Fearing the feeling of isolation has resulted in postponement in dealing with situations you already know are draining you. The tendency to postpone is a plague that perpetuates a need to be in control. Ah and this is connected to feeling guilt at succeeding, move forward in the face of this for there is a new frontier just ahead. As you do this, you will cease trying to hold onto two unmovable positions. The mere idea of trying to hold on must be released for the field of possibilities to ripen right before you. Your connection to the Creator will sustain you as you stay with it. The more you reach out to the Creator, the more of the Source you will recognize within.

Your success will bring on another challenge; one of morality. The voice within is the key to choosing what morality is and is not. If unclear, a helping guideline here is that the light calls for a choosing of that which resonates with other (the One). Your inner voice will show you the divine right action to take at the exact right time. That inner guidance is also your protector, so fear not when following it.

Libra - 9/23 – 10/22

All unfinished business has come into the present for your consideration; including hopes, dreams, wants, etc. The difference NOW is that you know completion is possible. Completion means fitting the last piece into the puzzle of life so as to move on and up into higher levels of being. One

41

of those pieces here for you is your ethics. Look it up in the dictionary so you can cross reference any and all definitions to include what you were handed as a child. Go beyond the layers caked on, go to your heart of hearts where in its crystalline purity is defined how you interact with the circumstances of the life. Your friendliness is an asset. At its best it is pure and simple; like children playing together before they know about sex.

Be alone a lot as you sort through the aspects necessary for completion. After discussing what you discuss with others, go back into silence alone and allow your inner guidance to percolate. Do this seriously and you will indefinitely celebrate.

Scorpio - 10/23 – 11/21

We are the world and as we evolve we go through many doors that shine light on how this is true. At times there can be an overwhelming sense of suffering. When you notice that, know it is not you, yet it is you. Do not take it persaonlly. What makes you most suited to participate at this level is that you have learned to go with the flow; expand that capacity NOW. There is so much more for you that is beyond illusion. Willingness is a must in order for the veils to part.

Always riding shotgun as your partner, is the Source within you. Open dialogue a little more often as the opportunity is ripe for you to ‘play’ a little more frequently. This will further develop your ability to recognize and interact with your inner guidance in ways that are comfortable for you. Set your intentions in that direction to help this along.

Sagittarius - 11/22 – 12/21

It is time to surrender your armor. The need to protect yourself Continued on Page 42

42

May 2013 ASTROLOGY continued from page 41 has become an unconscious part of how you show up. Beneath your conscious mind is a deeper understanding that will lead you to being able to surrender the need to protect yourself. All is aligned and in support of your de-armoring. Check with your inner guidance and you will see.

The habit of comparative analysis is wearing thin in being able to influence you unconsciously, even though there is a perceived burden every time you look at ceasing.

Don’t so easily dismiss the experience of all possibilities revealing itself at the very edge of your awareness. Beyond your awareness is change. Know it, count on it, expect it, pray that this change will reveal to you how to show up to fulfill your life purpose. Allowing the process provides rest and progress; try setting an intention to do so. It is your past that will ultimately guide and set the stage for the revealing. Even though your are still armored right now, there is tremendous abundance present now and in the future.

Capricorn - 12/22 – 1/19 Making a friend warms the Soul.

This has become a part of how you show up as you find that you continue to grow closer to those you love.

Practice this all the more when you are out of balance because the integration of this feature of your personality is uplifting in many ways.

A simple smile, a friendly “How are you” to a stranger can be lifesaving medicine. Your friendliness is healing for you and for others and the confidence revealed from this for you and the other will fertilize the intent to do so more, even in the most unlikely of environments.

It is friendliness that sets it all in motion.

Keep in mind this month that when those perceptions sneak in that you do not want, that you choose all the perceptions you have. To help shift them, notice that what you are observing is also right where you are standing. Then the view can be that what is over there, is just as it is over here. A mirror dynamic to inspire the wisdom that we are that which we are perceiving too in some way. Do this even when it seems impossible and we most resist it. Perhaps more so then.

Aquarius - 1/20 – 2/18

It is a time for the child within to go on a great adventure, to come out into the light and to face all that was hidden years ago. There is great receptivity now that is pushing its presence forth. Within the safe protected field of the light, there is a maturity that eases the sense of being alone with this re-birthing. The fruits of your past actions are assisting your every movement. You are fully supported; so why not step out little child? Yes there are unknowns, yet the need to shield yourself continuously keeps you hidden from yourself and others. That which you fear is ONLY a projection of what is unexplored within.

Your friendship with those parts of yourself that had been isolated for so long will flower. Your expanded friendliness will be contagious and fruitful in the world.

And the dream that you once knew as your future is up again for you to get. You can take it slow and steady. This is probably better than all at once, though it may feel all at once anyway.

Pisces - 2/19 – 3/20 This is a time for you to examine all aspects of your moral foundation including what you were given by family, church, society etc.

Examine it personally, in business, with neighbors, with other people etc. Due to the aspects of your nature, your examination will reveal in-depth. But between you and where you are to go there is a void, behind the scenes of the layers is fear. Fear’s job is to keep you sequestered in what you “know”. On the other side of that fear is an abundance, the likes of which unfathomable. Feel the intensity of the void, the fear, sit in it, and soon the perfectly ripened aspect of your nature will step up at just exactly the right time enabling the intensity to morph with the experience that in the void is also the fullness of the light.

And so the burdens you carry from past will tire. For example comparing yourself to others, your propensity to turn to fear and the habit of always being prepared to fight. Those again are traps of what we “know”, misconceptions of how life works and what particular circumstances mean, a conditioning that is like being under a kind of hypnosis. There will come a time when all the various conditioning will break through your mind’s ability to continue its show. The Master within you is right there to support you in this removal of conditioning and integration so that you arrive at a place and time where you will be able and ready to let go. Here, wisdom will be assimilated in support of your continued journey.
