Blossom Goodchild

Federation Of Light

JUNE 21st . 2010.


*This is a very powerful channelling so please set yourself time to have the time to ‘BE WITH IT’ and not have to rush it through. Thank you.*



Hello my friends. I know today is a day when many will be meditating and focusing on putting LIGHT into the waters in the Gulf. There is such a deep feeling within me that is inexpressible in the knowing that this is far greater than what we assume it to be, even though we know it to be so big already. There is the prophesy of the sea turning black … and then the last prophesy of discs arriving in the sky. How can we assist in the way we are supposed to? There are many sending Love and Light to the situation, but are there enough of us to make the change? Is there more we can be doing? I FEEL this time is so very important.

Souls of the planet Earth … heed our cries when we ask of your glory to shine through from the core of your Being. Stir up from the well inside of you ... your TRUTH of this time … for indeed each one of you have been waiting for it to arrive … and now it is here. Summon from your Highest levels ALL OF YOUR KNOWING. Allow the Highest energy from that which you TRULY are to reach out and become the Light that it is allowed to be in a form that can be of assistance.

YOU ARE HERE TO CHANGE THIS WORLD. YOU ARE HERE TO CHANGE THIS SITUATION.

And yet it must come about that you ‘KNOW’ that this is why you are here. Half believing … half hoping will not correct the problem. And yet we say to you ... the outcome of that which appears to be so bleak at this time is not how one would ever recognise within possibilities.

WE URGE YOU TO KNOW that by sending your strength out in to the energy that surrounds your planet ... by sending it not only to the outer but the very inner depths of its positioning that it is recognised what can be accomplished. Even though you do not know what that outcome is within your humanness, your Highest/ness does indeed KNOW and will act accordingly …

when you TRUST in yourself. When you KNOW that NOW is the time.

Many of you have been awaiting to receive your orders … well now they are coming to you … and this is one of them …. This is ALL of them

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE … BY DOING SO YOU WILL ACTIVATE ALL THAT HAS BEEN LYING DORMANT WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT.

We cannot activate your systems for you … you have to do this for yourselves.

Can you tell us how please?

By asking … by letting your being KNOW that you, the aspect of you that is here on earth NOW at this time ‘IS READY TO RECEIVE’. Your Higher self cannot and will not activate the system in place within you until you give it the signal that you are ready. It is against our principals to interfere in this process for this must be the choice of the individual.

When we have asked … what are we to expect?

Initiation. A welcoming home. A change in your vibration that shall be noticeable by you and those with whom you come into contact. You shall slowly as each day passes recognise your inner power. You shall exceed all your expectations of who you are in all that you are.

THE TIME IS NOW. THE TIME IS HERE. THERE CAN BE NO MORE DELAY.

BECOME YOURSELVES.

BE. SERVE. ACTIVATE.

We would ask you now to stop reading any further and to close your eyes and take in three very deep breathes. We do not just mean for you Blossom to do this at this moment … but for all who read these words to stop and do this now in this moment. As you do so imagine the whitest brightest Light entering through your crown chakra and expanding within and without.

Allow it to surround from ‘within you’ ... reaching out ‘through you’ into your aura and sit with it for another two deep breathes. We ask you to do this now … whilst repeating the words ‘ACTIVATE ACTIVATE ACTIVATE’. You will know when it is done and when you are ready to open your eyes and continue to read. You will simply know when you have ‘activated your system.

Well … I can’t seem to stop puffing … letting out great sighs! Wow! That was HUGE for me. I am so excited as to how it will be for everyone else also. I was breathing in deeply just soaking up the Light and then suddenly it happened ... it hit me … my body started to shudder as if getting an electric shock … I could actually FEEL the moment of ACTIVATION. I remained in that space until the energy had settled and then opened my eyes. Far out …This FEELS pretty BIG!!!!!!!!!!!

And now we would say to you all to again close your eyes and for a time that FEELS correct for you … give thanks and gratitude to the I AM of who you are. And as you give that knowing/ness out … SEND IT OUT TO YOUR PLANET … TO UPLIFT HER. To allow her to FEEL your unity with ALL THAT IS … IN THIS MOMENT OF NOW.

Oh my! For want of a polite expression! For those reading I’d like to share what just took place for me in that moment of now. I closed my eyes and started saying thank you, and instantly burst into tears. And sobbed and sobbed as if in such grief. When that was done I experienced calmness and found myself saying over and over … ‘WE ARE ONE. WE ARE ONE.’ Then, I saw a beautiful vision of a pair of hands holding MOTHER EARTH and the word ‘WELCOME’ came to mind. I so hope, well, actually, I think I KNOW, that each one of you will experience your own ‘ACTIVATION’, as this healing takes place.

So now … where were we.?

We were at the part when we reconnected with you on a different frequency. With ALL OF YOU. Unknown to you Blossom , this moment had been planned. On the cards as you would say.

Yes, I hadn’t necessarily planned to do a channelling today, but I certainly felt the nudge from you becoming stronger and stronger. Now I know why! Thank you so very much.

We feel it important that as many as possible get to read this particular communication. For the “ACTIVATION’ affect shall have a profound outcome on what is about to happen.

And that might be?????

As we said … it is what is about to happen. If we were to say … it would be the disappointment of knowing what your birthday present was before you unwrapped it.

This is a part of what this feeling is inside me isn’t it? I assume you have heard me saying to you when I hear anything about the Gulf … what is this about? What is this feeling in me that I can’t put into words other than ... ‘something’s about to go down’.

Indeed. This is what the FEELING is. For have we not be asking each one of you to express through your FEELINGS. To listen to your FEELINGS for they are your TRUTH. And this FEELING that you are FEELING is exactly that. A deep knowing of something that you knew before you came. And because of its vast effect that this SEEING IS BELEIVEING will have …
GULP!!!!!!!! Followed by sharp intake of breath ...

This is why so many of you can FEEL the enormity within. Again we say …

THE TIME IS NOW. WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS. YET NOT IN ‘ARMS OF WAR’ IN ‘ARMS OF LOVE’ ARMS THAT ENFOLD YOU. ARMS THAT CARRY YOU. ARMS THAT LIFT YOU INTO YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER BE CONTAINED.WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER BE AT THE MERCY OF THOSE WHO HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THE POWER OF LOVE … AND THEMSELVES … IN THE WAY THAT LOVE IS INTENDED.

BUT NOW MY CHILDREN ... I BRING YOU HOME. I WELCOME EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU HOME. INTO THE LIGHT OF MY GARDEN OF SURRENDER. WELCOME HOME MY CHILDREN … WELCOME HOME.

As I have recently expressed … my heart is so full it is leaking out my eyes! I FEEL SO VERY BLESSED . WE ARE ALL SO VERY BLESSED.

SO BE IT.
In Love and thanks.

The Extraordinary Eclipses of the Grand Cross

Channeler: James Tyberonn Special Metatronic Channel


The Extraordinary Eclipses of the Grand Cross

Archangel Metatron via James Tyberonn



Greetings Dear Ones, I am Metatron, Lord of Light. I greet you all in Unconditional Love, indeed a love that you will need over the next few weeks!

You are entering of one of the most powerful and intense energy crucibles experienced on the planet in many millennia, and the relative 'temperature' is about to drastically increase. It is the Diamond Triad, and is the purpose behind the encouraging 'OM Wave' that the Cosmic Council of Light have graced you with.

There are three very significant astro9logical occurrences over the next five weeks (June 26-August 4). These are:

• The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse -June 26
• The Solar Eclipse of July 11
• The 5 Planet Alignment of July - The Grand Cross

The June 26 eclipse of the full moon is extraordinarily powerful and will set the stage. Indeed this full moon eclipse is a double edged sword and can be the impetus of great change to the positive, if correctly understood and utilized accordingly. Or its intensity can rupture your auric field and set you in a downward spiral. It is up to you, depending on if you react in impatience and emotion or if you wisely utilize this resonance for creativity and inward cleanse.

As is the case of all crucibles, it will use intense heat to purify.

We tell you that the recent solstice and the impending Diamond Triad of the Grand Cross are among the most powerful energies felt on the planet for millennia, and many of your savant astrologers have recognized this....and so must the wise among humanity. Indeed the 5 planet configuration and associated angles represent an extremely rare and extraordinarily unique frequency that can offer a template of magnanimous change, yet within a resonance that can also be quite chaotic.

It is well during this time to carefully consider your actions. Be cautious in your demeanor, and take extra efforts to maintain the integrity of your auric field. Think before you speak, and do not allow untoward emotion; that of anger, envy, depression, guilt or doubt to invade your energy. It will be easy to mismanage both communications and emotions in this crucible, and the results could be quite detrimental to relationships and state of mind. Better to use this cutting energy to go inward, and review for hidden habitudes and obstacles that may yet lurk within.

There is no better time to release these. And Dear Ones, almost all of you still have cleansings yet to perform. More often than not in duality, those that do not recognize the tarrying residues of negative traits are the ones most needful of the search, including those of you on the spiritual path. Spiritual ego can especially be cleansed, if dutifully examined, in this crucible.

You see, the obstacles that were easily seen, for most of you seekers, have been dealt with. What now remains are the residual ones your ego's have quietly swept under the carpet, and hidden in the darkness in deeply imbedded boxes.

But do not be discouraged, and do not feel we are judging you, for all of you will indeed Ascend, sooner or later. But there is a grand opportunity within this crucible to find what is hidden, and perform the needful purge. That that is in shadow will be revealed in this time, and that which could not easily be seen in other sojourns, in other phases of the 'present' lifetime, will be visible if such self- search is truly desired and diligently executed. And Masters, while such an examination will require courage and humility, the rewards are great. For indeed the eclipses and Grand Cross affords you the opportunity to pass through an important doorway, into a higher and more pristine version of true self.

So we urge you to seek the hidden obstacles and confront and release them on the lunar eclipse. We further and emphatically recommend you to meditate intensely on the attributes you desire to achieve on the solar eclipse., for indeed the ability to be creative in the phase of the solar eclipse is amplified as well. A perfect time for resolve and surprisingly for artistic expression, or manifestation of desire.

Utilize the interim phase between the eclipses then to decide who you truly are. What are you here to do, what will you do with the years of this sojourn you have remaining. You see Masters, the energy of the period you are entering, offers you the ability to enter a state of profound 'Beingness'. A state beyond the mind, an energy beyond that you term thought. And for many of you, Beingness is a state that you have not truly engaged; such is the control you have given the inner narrator.

In a true sense the Diamond Triad offers those of you who can silence the mind, the opportunity to more easily enter the solemn vibration of still wisdom, of 'mindless' Beingness, and truly Masters, it is a state far higher in frequency that that of mindfulness. Does that confuse you? We tell you that there is an identity of your Divinity that is above the mind, and it is an aspect of your soul, and is far closer to your true Beingness.

Indeed mind is simply a companion of your Beingness relative to the 3rd dimension, and we beckon you to explore this aspect more deeply in the following 4-5 weeks, for many doorways are opening. You are capable of investing your Beingness in a higher level of engagement during this time, and while this may surprise you, your mind invites this opportunity, in all its aspects of creativity, for it knows that there is a level above it that is quite necessary for your evolvement into higher dimension.

The Diamond Triad, the Grand Cross and Eclipses are the pathway to the 10-10-10 in this your year of 2010, use this time well, and you will make a quantum leap.

As we have said, what lies before you is a difficult energy for you to master, but it can indeed be experienced and great gain is possible. The Cosmic Council of Light has sent a wave of energy over the past days, that has been termed the 'OM Wave'. Tap into this energy, and it will serve you well as you navigate the next 5 weeks.

Dear ones, keep ever in mind, this energy is extremely intense, and is quite capable of throwing you off center, if you do not maintain your guard. It is the Diamond Triad, and can serve you well and offer a quantum leap if you consciously utilize this energy and retain Auric Integrity.

Be calm, be patient, be creative , be wise, and nurture yourselves and one another.
I am Metatron and I share with you these Truths.

And so it is....

A Navajo Legend – The Second World

Because of the strife in the First World, First Man, First Woman, the Great- Coyote-Who-Was-Formed-in-the-Water, and the Coyote called First Angry, followed by all the others, climbed up from the World of Darkness and Dampness to the Second or Blue World.

They found a number of people already living there: blue birds, blue hawks, blue jays, blue herons, and all the blue-feathered beings. The powerful swallow people lived there also, and these people made the Second World unpleasant for those who had come from the First World. There was fighting and killing.

The First Four found an opening in the World of Blue Haze; and they climbed through this and led the people up into the Third or Yellow world.



Oh our Mother the earth, Oh our Father the sky,
Your children are we, and with tired backs
We bring you the gifts you love.
Then weave for us a garment of brightness;
May the Warp be the white light of the morning,
May the weft be the red light of the evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the border be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness,
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green,
Oh our Mother Earth, Oh our Father Sky.

Anticipating the Good


Anxiety About Change

Change your perspective by changing the labels used to identify your feelings. For instance anxious butterflies become eager expectation.


When we find ourselves going through any kind of change in our lives, our natural response may be to tense up on the physical, mental, or emotional level. We may not even notice that we have braced ourselves against a shift until we recognize the anxiety, mood swings, or general worried feeling toward the unknown that usually results. There are positive ways to move through change without pushing it away, however, or attempting to deny that it is happening. Since change will occur in almost every aspect of our lives, we can learn to make our response to it an affirmative one of anticipation, welcoming the new while releasing the past with grace.

One thing we can do is change our perspective by changing the labels we use to identify our feelings. We can reinterpret feelings of anxiety as the anxious butterflies that come with eager expectation. With this shift, we begin to look for the good that is on its way to us. Though we may only be able to imagine the possibilities, when we acknowledge that good is there for us to find, we focus our energy on joyful anticipation and bring it into our experience while allowing the feelings to carry us forward.

We can also choose to do a ceremony to allow our emotions to process. Every culture has created ceremonies to help people make the transition from one phase of life to the next. We can always create a ceremony too, perhaps by burning written thoughts to watch the smoke carry them away, thereby releasing them, or we can welcome new endeavors by planting flowers or trees. Some ceremonial activities such as a farewell send-off or housewarming party, we may do automatically. Society also has built-in ceremonies, like graduation and weddings, which may satisfy the need we feel. Sometimes the shift from denial to acceptance is all that is needed to ease our anxiety, allowing us to bring our memories with us as we move through nervousness to joyful excitement about the good to come.

Penetrating the Darkness


Wisdom of the Owl


Owls are the holders of wisdom, capable of seeing the unseen. With keen eyesight they glance into the soul and are totems of truth.


For as long as humankind has recognized animals as teachers, wise men and women have recognized traits worthy of respect in both wild and domestic creatures. The cultural and spiritual significance of certain animals transcends geographical boundaries, unifying disparate peoples. Not so the majestic and mysterious owl, which has over many millennia served as the focal point of numerous contradictory beliefs.


Though owls have been regarded with awe and fascination, they have also inadvertently served as agents of fear. Since owls are nocturnal, human-owl encounters tended to occur at night and likely when the bird was swooping silently down to earth to grapple with prey. Yet even as some shied away from the owl, calling it an agent of darkness, others recognized the depths of awareness in beautiful owl’s eyes.

In the classical Greek tradition, an owl could often be found perched on the shoulder of Athena, goddess of wisdom, while owls could ward off bad luck in Roman lore. It is in Native American mythos, however, that the owl attains its own unique identity. Owls are patient messengers, bringers of information and the holders of wisdom, and they are capable of seeing the unseen.

With their keen eyesight, they can glance into the soul to discern meaning and motive, and they are totems of truth. Unlike our distant forebears, we may never encounter an owl in the wild, but we can nonetheless internalize the wisdom of the owl by attuning ourselves to its most venerable qualities. Fully integrating the medicine of the owl into spiritual existence is a matter of considering how we might open ourselves more fully to the wisdom that can be found in the larger universe.

Should you find your efforts blocked as you commune with the owl, remember that it was not always revered as an icon of wisdom. This denizen of the nighttime has overcome many prejudices in its long association with humankind. To reveal those hidden elements of the self that impact your life for better or for worse, you must often make your way through the darkest parts of your soul as if you yourself are the nocturnal hunter. There is indeed darkness both inside the self and outside the self, but like the owl you can transcend it by drawing nourishment from the insights you receive when you penetrate it.

Hello my beautiful friends, I wish you a wonderful weekend of love, laughter, peace and joy. Blessings & Pure Energy coming your way, Melodie


A Navajo Legend - The First World


The First World, Ni'hodilqil, was black as black wool. It had four corners, and over these appeared four clouds. These four clouds contained within themselves the elements of the First World. They were in color, black, white, blue, and yellow.


The Black Cloud represented the Female Being or Substance. For as a child sleeps when being nursed, so life slept in the darkness of the Female Being. The White Cloud represented the Male Being or Substance. He was the Dawn, the Light-Which-Awakens, of the First World.


In the East, at the place where the Black Cloud and the White Cloud met, First Man, Atse'hastqin was formed; and with him was formed the white corn, perfect in shape, with kernels covering the whole ear. Dolionot i'ni is the name of this first seed corn, and it is also the name of the place where the Black Cloud and the White Cloud met.


The First World was small in size, a floating island in mist or water. On it there grew one tree, a pine tree, which was later brought to the present world for firewood.


Man was not, however, in his present form. The conception was of a male and a female being who were to become man and woman. The creatures of the First World are thought of as the Mist People; they had no definite form, but were to change to men, beasts, birds, and reptiles of this world.


Now on the western side of the First World, in a place that later was to become the Land of Sunset, there appeared the Blue Cloud, and opposite it there appeared the Yellow Cloud. Where they came together First Woman was formed, and with her the yellow corn. This ear of corn was also perfect. With First Woman there came the white shell and the turquoise and the yucca.


First Man stood on the eastern side of the First World. He represented the Dawn and was the Life Giver. First Woman stood opposite in the West. She represented Darkness and Death.

First Man burned a crystal for a fire. The crystal belonged to the male and was the symbol of the mind and of clear seeing. When First Man burned it, it was the mind's awakening.


First Woman burned her turquoise for a fire. They saw each other's lights in the distance. When the Black Cloud and the White Cloud rose higher in the sky, First Man set out to find the turquoise light. He went twice without success, and again a third time; then he broke a forked branch from his tree, and, looking through the fork, he marked the place where the light burned. And the fourth time he walked to it and found smoke coming from a home.


"Here is the home I could not find," First Man said.


First Woman answered: "Oh, it is you. I saw you walking around and I wondered why you did not come."
Again the same thing happened when the Blue Cloud and the Yellow Cloud rose higher in the sky. First Woman saw a light and she went out to find it. Three times she was unsuccessful, but the fourth time she saw the smoke and she found the home of First Man.


"I wondered what this thing could be," she said.


"I saw you walking and I wondered why you did not come to me," First Man answered.


First Woman saw that First Man had a crystal for a fire, and she saw that it was stronger than her turquoise fire. And as she was thinking, First Man spoke to her. "Why do you not come with your fire and we will live together." The woman agreed to this. So instead of the man going to the woman, as is the custom now, the woman went to the man.


About this time there came another person, the Great-Coyote-Who-Was- Formed-in-the-Water, and he was in the form of a male being. He told the two that he had been hatched from an egg. He knew all that was under the water and all that was in the skies.


First Man placed this person ahead of himself in all things. The three began to plan what was to come to pass; and while they were thus occupied another being came to them. He also had the form of a man, but he wore a hairy coat, lined with white fur, that fell to his knees and was belted in at the waist. His name was Atse'hashke', First Angry or Coyote.


He said to the three: "You believe that you were the first persons. You are mistaken. I was living when you were formed."


Then four beings came together. They were yellow in color and were called the tsts'na. or wasp people. They knew the secret of shooting evil and could harm others. They were very powerful.


This made eight people.


Four more beings came. They were small in size and wore red shirts and had little black eyes. They were the naazo'zi or spider ants. They knew how to sting, and were a great people.


After these came a whole crowd of beings. Dark colored they were, with thick lips and dark, protruding eyes. They were the wolazhi'ni, the black ants. They also knew the secret of shooting evil and were powerful; but they killed each other steadily.

By this time there were many people. Then came a multitude of little creatures. They were peaceful and harmless, but the odor from them was unpleasant. They were called the wolazhi'ni nlchu nigi, meaning that which emits an odor.


And after the wasps and the different ant people there came the beetles, dragonflies, bat people, the Spider Man and Woman, and the Salt Man and Woman, and others that rightfully had no definite form but were among those people who peopled the First World. And this world, being small in size, became crowded, and the people quarreled and fought among themselves, and in all ways made living very unhappy.

Bounded by Wellness

Send Healing To Yourself


Try to spend time each day to send yourself love and light. Often we neglect doing this for ourselves as we are busy tending to others.


Most people, when given an opportunity to aid someone in need, are eager to do whatever they can to be of service. Those of us who have chosen to make healing the world a vocation are grateful for any occasion to send light and love to people in our immediate spheres of influence and beyond. As we apply our passion and our principles to this altruistic endeavor, we often forget to send ourselves the same bountiful gifts of wellness, though we ourselves may be in dire need of it. We overlook ourselves, not because we forget, but because we fear that focusing on the self is an indicator of selfishness. It is moreover much more difficult to heal oneself than to heal others because the seeds of uncertainty are more easily banished when we act on another's behalf. When we send healing light to ourselves, it is important that our intentions and our self-trust be stronger than ever to counteract doubt.

As we bless ourselves in this way, we serve as both an active channel and a passive destination. This should not change the way we interact with the valuable energy we wish to receive, however. Though we may be tempted to consciously direct or influence the manner in which light impacts our lives because we know ourselves most intimately, we should not try to control its path. When we draw the white light of protection and purity to our bodies, taking it into ourselves with each inhalation, our belief in the fact that it will naturally move toward areas of dysfunction will ensure that it flows through every muscle and organ. And when we fill our spaces with this light, our environments are cleared of all the negative energy that can sap our strength and our spirit. Surrounded inside and out with healing light, we feel safe and protected, healthy, relaxed, and content just as those who regularly receive such loving gifts from us do.

If you sincerely believe that there is a part of yourself that exists independently of upset and illness, the love and light you send yourself will help you connect with it. You will see the affirmative impact of this connection almost immediately when you include yourself in the recipients of your healing gifts, as life's frustrations become more tolerable and your bliss becomes ever more palpable.

ANCIENT Chinese doctors discovered, 5000 years ago, over 100 energy meridians in the human body. When these meridian points were activated, people were healed.


Today that system of healing is called acupuncture. But now, people are tapping into this same power, literally, without using needles.


They are discovering how to master all the “mental changes” in themselves, as taught in The Voice of the Silence — and how to “harmless make” their own thought and emotional creations.


They are learning, as Albert Einstein famously said, that:


“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
We have instead to rise above that old thinking, while fully recognizing our hand in the problems they caused. That’s called karmic acceptance.


Getting Unstuck

It is often difficult to get to the root cause of some issues — especially if those issues were created in a past life we cannot consciously recall now.

“These events, limiting beliefs and patterns are what make us feel stuck.”


Removing Negative Patterns


“We’ve all experienced challenging times, painful events and traumas during our lifetimes. We’ve adopted negative beliefs and patterns,” says therapist Annie Siegel, “often learned from our parents and elders, that aren’t serving us.”


The Monkey Trap


Natives in the islands used to catch monkeys by cutting a hole in the top of a coconut, hollow it out, fill it with sweet beans, and tie it to the base of a tree. During the night, a monkey would approach the coconut shell, reach inside and grab a handful of sweet beans — then hold them tight in his fist.


With his hand rolled into a fist, he could not pull his hand back through the opening in the coconut, because he wouldn’t let go of the beans.


So in the morning, the monkey was still trapped there, and the natives only had to come by and pick him up.


Silence the Chatter


Sometimes we find ourselves trapped simply because we won’t let go of all our past grudges, resentments, bitterness, guilt over past mistakes. We hang on to unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others.
The truth is we all have obsessions that trap us.


Greedy Mistakes


Our work, our stuff, our money, our experiences, our hobbies, our relationships, our status, our entertainment — our worldviews.


We believe these will give us identity and satisfaction. When we hold this belief, we become enslaved like a monkey’s fist in a coconut.


“Even though we feel overwhelmed with emotions, a part of us doesn’t want to create balance and get back to a place of feeling good about ourselves,” Annie writes, “we know we can be more than just our inner chatter.”


“Practicing the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) daily, neutralizes the relentless chatter [of what are called in Sanskrit the skandhas] and encourages empowering feelings — you can then create the changes needed to make your life work better for you and others.”


Army of Thought Sensations


Voice of the Silence


“Ere thou canst near the goal … thou must have mastered all the mental changes in thy Self and slain the army of the thought sensations that, subtle and insidious, creep unasked within the Soul’s bright shrine.”



The Highway of Sensations
“If thou would’st not be slain by them, then must thou harmless make thy own creations, the children of thy thoughts,” Blavatsky writes in the Voice of the Silence:
“Thou hast to study the voidness of the seeming full, the fulness of the seeming void. O fearless Aspirant, look deep within the well of thine own heart, and answer. Knowest thou of Self the powers, O thou perceiver of external shadows?

If thou dost not — then art thou lost.”


In Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave,” Socrates begins by describing a cave inhabited by prisoners who have been chained and held immobile since childhood.


Not only are their arms and legs held in place but their heads are bound facing a wall, where they can only see reflected shadows — illusions they must take for reality.


This is a gradual process of self-realization, explains W. Q. Judge, learning “to distinguish between the ‘I’ and the ‘not-I.’”

The Subjective and the Objective:

(Lesson from the Cave of Plato – Republic, Book 1)


“The lightest breeze of passion or desire,” warns The Voice of the Silence, “will stir the steady light upon the pure white walls of Soul. The smallest wave of longing or regret — the path that lies between thy Spirit and thy self, the highway of sensations —


“… a thought as fleeting as the lightning flash will make thee thy three prizes forfeit — the prizes thou hast won.”


Travel Light
Remember who you are,
and travel light.


Gandhi's Belongings


“That man possesses an immortal soul is the common belief of humanity — to this Theosophy adds that he is a soul, and further that all nature is sentient,” writes W. Q. Judge in Chapter 1 of The Ocean of Theosophy …
“… down to the smallest atom all is soul and spirit ever evolving under the rule of law which is inherent in the whole.”





“The course of evolution is the drama of the soul and that nature exists for no other purpose than the soul’s experience.”
- W. Q. Judge

God said:

Whatever issue you have, you can face it. There is a deep issue within you that you have been running away from. You don't want to face it. Suddenly, you see it, staring you in the face. It may have been haunting you all your life. And now you see it. Now it is as if you see yourself under an X-ray. There is no avoiding it now.

Perhaps your issue is abandonment. That sounds clinical, yet it may be your underlying issue. It may be what you have been running away from, that you have an issue that is at the crux of your dealing in life. It may be at the crux of all your sadness and all the vague uneasiness you feel.


A workman may say he is coming to do some necessary work, and then he doesn't come at all. You don't know why that hits you so hard. He got your hopes up. He was going to do a great job, and now you don't know whether or not he is coming ever, and you are crushed. Or he comes and does not live up to his promise in other ways, and you are so disappointed. The workman became a bigger issue to you than himself. He perhaps symbolized all the disappointments in your life.


At some point in your life, when you were a child, you felt you were out there as a stray, and strays long to be picked up and reassured. You perhaps did not have the reassurance. The sense of bereftness has lingered. Without realizing it, you may have carried this seemingly-forgotten anguish around with you.


The world has not always been a safe place for your beautiful heart. You made too much of the world. You let the world decide your well-being. The world may not have come to the fore to take good care of your needs. And you thought you were dependent upon the world.


Whatever the deep abiding issue within you may be called, it arises from your dependency on the world. Under the underlying issue lies another issue. But I think the crux of your issue, whatever its name, lies in a perceived utter subjection to the world.


The world is temperamental, beloveds. You do not always feel honored, respected, or taken care of by the world. It may not have taken good care of you, and now, perhaps, you blame your sense of desolation on a mere workman. You hadn't realized how fragile you felt, and yet what you feel is not always what is.


If you were dependent upon how the world treats you, you would indeed be in trouble. Once you were little, and you were helpless. Now you are big, and you are not helpless. Yet you may still see yourself as helpless, just a little cog in a big wheel. You may even feel like the dartboard of the world. This is illusion.


You are not at the mercy of the world. That is only a thought, and, like the world, your thoughts are not always reliable.


To recognize the fallacy of this thought is part of your education in life. It is time for you to graduate from this fallacy. It is never too late. The time is now.


This reliance on the world is an old thought whose time is done. Now you break through the ribbon of this thought, and you come out a winner of the race. Your old belief is not so powerful as it once was. It is dwindling, as well it must. You are moving out of the domain of this illusory out-dated thought and moving on to new thoughts that support you. Once you were on a swing of unreliability, and now you are firmly on your own two feet, and you know you are with Me, and you know you are solidly in a reality of certainty.

The world is not, once and for all, the decider of you, and now you no longer hold on to the thought that you require a savior. You are already safe with Me. I will never abandon you. And now you will never abandon yourself again to the winds of the world.

The Dwelling Pulse


Energy Of A Home


Our homes and your belongings within them all contain energy. Tend to the energy of your home as you would tend to anything you love.


Our homes are filled with energy that we create and allow to flourish. In many cases, our relationship with the pulse of our homes is passive rather than active because we do not pay particular heed to the energy that has been established. It is only when we regard these spaces as unique entities that we begin to understand why it is necessary to take charge of the energy that fills our homes. Stagnant, inharmonious energy can find its way into our dwellings through many avenues. Previous occupants, builders, visitors, and the individuals who maintain a home leave a strong energy imprint behind. Objects and symbols can also have an effect on the energy of a residence. When we are aware of all that can influence the energy of our spaces, we are empowered to create harmonious homes that do more than meet our need for shelter.

Exercising care with regard to who and what we invite into our homes is one of the easiest ways we can ensure that the energy within remains loving and supportive. It is not always possible to keep potentially harmful people and possessions from entering our homes, but we can take precautions. Individuals can be kept from private spaces like bedrooms and meditation areas, while property can be purified through cleansing or smudging. During periods of remodelling or construction, Reiki symbols and other positive imagery can be printed on surfaces that will later be covered by walls or flooring. Though hidden, these will continue to attract good energy and cleanse the existent energy. Blessings can also be drawn in plain sight, where they remind us of how potently our home's energy can affect our own.

A home can appear beautiful, comfortable, and stable while still serving as a dwelling place for negative or otherwise offensive energy. If you care for your home conscientiously and with great care, you will instinctively look beyond the surface qualities of your home when assessing how it feels. Since you actively guard your home against the intrusion of unwelcome energy, you will have the time and vigor necessary to cope with it constructively when should it appear in your midst. The spirit of your spaces will respond to your thoughtful ministrations, nurturing and supporting you for as long as you choose to reside within her walls.

Prayer of Mr. Emoto

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed.

I am passing this request to people who I believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily....can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.

We don't have to know how......we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Please join me in oft repeating this healing prayer of Dr. Emoto's. And feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet. Let's take charge, and do our own clean up!

"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons,corals, algae and all living creatures.....I am sorry. Please forgive me.

Thank you. I love you."

Sweet Friends 6-21-10


Dear sweet Friends, Let this week be full of Peace and Love. May you have positive abundance in all you need, Happy Fathers day. God Bless you. Melodie

Uncle Earl
by Vicki Miller

"Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity."


Joseph Addison, The Spectator



Annually my husband's family has a reunion in a state park in the mountains of North Carolina. At one of the reunions, the weather was overcast, and more rain was predicted. The family members who arrived early to set up were concerned about the pending rain and the impact it would have on attendance. Just as the rain began to fall, a car pulled up to the picnic shelter and out of the passenger side popped 'Uncle Earl'!

Now, 'Uncle Earl', as he is called by the family, is 96 years old and has been blind for many years. Just the arrival of Uncle Earl immediately changed the morale of the group.

Ever cheerful and optimistic, Earl continues to amaze the family. He is the oldest member of the Miller Clan, and all gathered around him. One by one he addressed each member, held their hand, gave them a piece of candy from his pocket, and made them laugh.

As I stood back, I watched how his demeanor and cheerfulness brought a smile to everyone's face. He did not spend time telling everyone about his ailments as others were doing. I realized that it was his choice to take the "high road" of cheerfulness and not focus on the negative aspects of his life. By doing so, he was extending an invitation to each family member to respond in the same manner.

Just before we began to feast on the wonderful spread of food, Earl stood up and asked to speak to the group for few minutes. He asked everyone to lead a 'good life' and to take a lighthearted approach to what may come our way. He said he had prayed for us all to arrive and to return home safely, so we need not worry about the rain. Then he gave us all his blessing. I know I felt blessed to be with him!

Being of good cheer raises our spirits and benefits our health. Uncle Earl is a prime example. What is happening in your life right now?

Are you taking a cheerful or lighthearted approach to your day? If you changed your perspective, what impact would it have on your health and others around you?

Just for one day practice being cheerful and see what happens. Try a new slant on challenges that may surface; see if you can find some humor in the challenge or view it from a light-hearted approach.

Be of good cheer!

Useful Transformation

Make Change Work For You


At the root of all growth, we find change. Allow it to work for you not against.


Transformation is a universal constant that affects our lives from the moment we are born until we leave earthly existence behind. At the root of all growth, we find change. Occasionally, change and the circumstances leading up to it are a source of extraordinary joy, but more often than not they provoke feelings of discomfort, fear, or pain.


Though many changes are unavoidable, we should not believe that we are subject to the whims of an unpredictable universe. It is our response to those circumstances that will dictate the nature of our experiences. At the heart of every transformation, no matter how chaotic, there is substance. When we no longer resist change and instead regard it as an opportunity to grow, we find that we are far from helpless in the face of it.

Our role as masters of our own destinies is cemented when we choose to make change work in our favor. Yet before we can truly internalize this power, we must accept that we cannot hide from the changes taking place all around us. Existence as we know it will come to an end at one or more points in our lives, making way for some new and perhaps unexpected mode of being.

This transformation will take place whether or not we want it to, and so it is up to us to decide whether we will open our eyes to the blessings hidden amidst disorder or close ourselves off from opportunities hiding behind obstacles.

To make change work for you, look constructively at your situation and ask yourself how you can benefit from the transformation that has taken place. As threatening as change can seem, it is often a sign that a new era of your life has begun. If you revaluate your plans and goals in the days or weeks following a major change, you will discover that you can adapt your ambition to the circumstances before you and even capitalize on these changes.


Optimism, enthusiasm, and flexibility will aid you greatly here, as there is nothing to be gained by dwelling on what might have been.


Change can hurt in the short term but, if you are willing to embrace it proactively, its lasting impact will nearly always be physically, spiritually, and intellectually transformative.

The Consequences You Sow

Action And Effect



Every action you take has a cause and effect. The influence we wield is infinite.


All motive and action affects the cosmos in some way. The principle of cause and effect is the truth that allows us to change ourselves and the world around us for the better. However, this same universal law is also at work when change is not at the forefront of our minds. Our intentions flow forever outward in the form of energy, affecting both the people closest to us and billions of individuals we will likely never meet. For this reason, we should strive always to speak, think, and behave with great thoughtfulness and compassion. The virtues we choose to embody can inspire joy and integrity in the lives of countless people, whether we touch their existence directly or not.

The influence we wield is infinite. In an effort to internalize our conscious understanding of the nature of cause and effect, we can never truly know how our thoughts, emotions, words, or actions will manifest themselves on the larger universal stage because it is likely that the furthest-reaching effects will fall outside the range of our perception. We can only look to the guidance of our conscience, which will help us determine whether each of our choices is contributing to humanity's illumination or setting the stage for unintended troubles. When we are in doubt, we need only remember that the cultivation of altruism inevitably leads to a harvest of goodwill and grace. Motivated by a sincere desire to spread goodness, we will be naturally drawn to those choices that will help us express our commitment to universal well-being.

Nothing you do, however minor or mundane, is ever exempt from the rules of cause and effect. From the moment of your birth, you have served as an agent of change, setting forces beyond your comprehension into motion across the surface of the earth and beyond. You can exert conscious control over this transformative energy simply by examining your intentions and endeavoring always to promote peace, positive energy, and passion in your ideas and actions. While you may never fully comprehend the extent of your purposefully heartfelt influence, you can rest assured that it will be universally felt.

A Refuge of Your Own

Creating a Garden Sanctuary


Think about creating a garden sanctuary to reconnect with nature and honor yourself and mother earth.


Each of us has been blessed with an innate need to celebrate and glorify life. At a most basic level, we honor the forces that came together to bring us into being by caring for our bodies and our souls. To truly rejoice in existence, we must also learn to cultivate loveliness in those special places that replenish the soul. When we create a garden sanctuary, we are reminded that we are a part of both nature's essence and something more. An outdoor retreat is a place we can surround ourselves in nature, beauty, and the life force. It is not difficult to create a sanctuary—we should endeavor, however, to create sanctuaries that speak to us as individuals.

Whether we have a yard, a grassy corner, a patio, or a porch at our disposal, our creative potential is infinite. Any of these spaces can become a magnificent garden. When we feel drawn to specific themes such as Zen, angels, paradise, or the ethereal, we should explore them. Décor and furniture crafted from natural materials like wood and stone blend seamlessly into nature. Yet we can also augment the natural world by filling our garden sanctuaries with statues, bells or gongs, or colorful flags. Running water, like that in a created stream or fountain, helps energy flow smoothly.

If space is a concern, crystals and mirrors can fulfill the same function. Hidden features like concealed swings and reflecting pools veiled in shadow can surprise and delight. As your garden sanctuary evolves, remember to invite the elemental spirits of nature to assist you in your efforts to create a small pocket of harmony, beauty, and peace in your own backyard. If you have not already felt th! eir presence, sit quietly in your garden and reach out to them. You will feel these earthly guides at your side as you continue to develop your sanctuary.

In the refuge of brilliant color, sweet scents, and stillness you create in your garden, the burdens imposed upon you by a sometimes hectic world will melt away. The splendor and tranquility of what you have brought into being will entrance you, allowing you to forget the constraints of time and space. No matter how large or small your garden sanctuary, the time you spend reveling in its pleasures will refresh your spirit and provide you with innumerable opportunities to celebrate life.

Below the Surface


Finding Deep Strength


We have all have times in our lives when we think we don’t have the strength to carry on. You do, and you can.


We have all faced moments in our lives when the pressure mounts beyond what we feel we can handle, and we find ourselves thinking that we do not have the strength to carry on. Sometimes we have just gotten through a major obstacle or illness only to find another one waiting for us the moment we finally catch our breath. Sometimes we endure one loss after another, wondering when we will get a break from life’s travails. It does not seem fair or right that life should demand more of us when we feel we have given all we can, but sometimes this is the way life works.

When we look back on our lives, we see that we have survived many trials and surmounted many obstacles, often to our own amazement. In each of those instances, we had to break through our ideas about how much we can handle and go deeper into our hidden reserves. The thought that we do not have the strength to handle what is before us can be likened to the hard surface of a frozen lake. It appears to be an impenetrable fact, but when we break through it, we find that a deep well of energy and inspiration was trapped beneath that icy barrier the whole time. Sometimes we break through by cutting a hole into our resistance with our willpower, and sometimes we melt the ice with compassion for our predicament and ourselves. Either way, each time we break through, we reach a new understanding of the strength we store within ourselves.

When we find ourselves up against that frozen barrier of thinking we cannot handle our situation, we may find that the kindest choice is to love ourselves and our resistance too. We can simply accept that we are overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched, and we can offer ourselves loving kindness and compassion. If we can extend to ourselves the unconditional warmth of a mother’s love, before we know it, the ice will begin to break.

HEAVEN #3493 Be Glad for What You Are, June 18, 2010


God said:


If you would take hold of joy the way you clasp trouble to your bosom, how happy you would be. Clasp appreciation close to you. Clasp regard for life and your life. Be glad for what you are and for what you are not. Be glad for what you have and what you have not. Allocate to yourself all that you can be glad for. Your life is your life. Do not begrudge it. Do not fault it.


You were handed a certain sequence of cards, so it seems. You may have picked them out of the deck. Whether you did or not, however they got handed to you, they are in your hands, and you are the one who plays them out.


In sickness or in health, life has been granted you.

I know you feel that life is often not fair. Some of your blessings may not be fair either. Value your blessings, and then you are playing fair with life.

For reasons known or unknown, your life is such and so. Someone would be grateful for what you, at present, may or may not be grateful for. In retrospect, you may be grateful for much that you were not grateful for at the time.


When you were nineteen, you might have found fault with your figure. Now you would be thrilled to have that same figure.

Once you may not have appreciated some people in your life, and now you wish they were here and that you could hug them and talk to them and tell them how much you love them.


Once, someone broke your heart, perhaps, and it was the end of the world for you. Now, in retrospect, you heave a deep sigh of relief that you did not go down the path that once you so wanted to go down.


You may favor one fruit over another, yet each fruit from God's tree nourishes you. Your preference is not everything. Digest what is before you. It may be hard for you to see, yet some good will come from it. You may well not know what good, yet good will come. You will come out ahead from it. You will survive. You will thrive.


What is there in life to be surprised at? If you must have woe, you must also have joy. Let woe be uncommon, and joy abundant.


You may not have conscious choice of all that visits you in life, yet you can choose the timbre of your life. You may have a scrawny little tree in your yard, and you can water it, and you can bless it, and it will bear fruit.

Someone else may have an orchard and neglect it. One tree, or a thousand, trees are for you to nourish. Life is for you to nourish.


Whatever is given to you or taken away from you, you have say over how you treat life. You are a vital factor. You are the deciding factor of how you value your life. You do not need to stay stuck in one view of life. You are free to choose from many views. Do not let moaning about life become a habit. It is a hard habit to break. If you have adopted that habit, let it go now. It is easier to let go of it now than later.


If, at this moment, I were to adjure you to pray, I would ask you to pray that you lift up your life and offer it to Me with all the love in your heart and so make your offering of your life to Me and your responsibility for your life simple and holy.
