Dear Friends,

If you're passionate about your own transformation and equally committed to evolving the world, there’s a powerful and provocative audio download you can access now.

It's called The Key To Evolving Beyond Ego, and it's hosted by evolutionary leader and spiritual teacher Craig Hamilton.

For almost two decades, Craig has been at the forefront of a pioneering inquiry into what many are calling "the new enlightenment." Through his online Academy for Evolutionaries, he has helped thousands of people in over 50 countries around the world discover the profound life of meaning and purpose that comes from aligning with the "impulse of evolution."

In this free audio recording, Craig guides you through a catalytic, step-by-step process that will activate your “Evolutionary Self,” a deeper dimension of our nature that catapults us beyond the limitations of our ego -- for good. The result is a spiritually inspired, awakened orientation toward life, and access to a power and grace beyond imagination.

In The Key To Evolving Beyond Ego, he will show you:

• A powerful practice you can engage anytime during the day to infuse your life and actions with the boundless energy of evolution itself -- and why this kind of “engaged inquiry practice” is often more transformative than silent meditation and contemplation

• How to cultivate an “inner compass” that will enable you to stay present, on course and connected to profound clarity and wisdom -- even when you’re feeling overwhelmed by the chaos and complexity of daily life

• The radical yet simple shift in orientation that can allow you to bring the awakening you’ve experienced in your deepest moments into every moment of your life

This is an exciting, proven path beyond the greatest obstacle to our higher evolution as human beings. You can learn more and get the audio here.

How the rest of the world brushes their teeth

How is it that some people who have never used a toothbrush have also never had a cavity?

There’s a 99 percent chance you are not super rich. But there is a good chance that you are part of the orally hygienic elite 1 percent.

While it’s common in the U.S. and other developed countries to use nylon and electronic toothbrushes, most of the world’s population, especially indigenous cultures and developing countries, still use old-world techniques to keep their teeth clean — if they use anything at all.

But are modern oral hygiene products and techniques infinitely better than the sticks, animal bristles and bones, twigs, feathers and porcupine quills that non-first-world societies used centuries ago — or continue to use today — to clean their teeth?

Is what one eats more important in determining oral hygiene than the materials used to clean the teeth and gums?

In other words, if tribes, clans and indigenous societies stick with their traditional diets and don’t eat processed sugar and junk food, is teeth-brushing even necessary?

Lack of oral hygiene can lead to heart disease, maybe

A 2010 study published in the British Medical Journal concluded that people who brushed less than twice a day had an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, due to inflammation and loss of connective tissue and bone support of the teeth. In the BMJ study, people who brushed their teeth less than twice a day, habitually, had a 70 percent higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The study, however, did not consider the participants’ diets.

But Sally Fallon, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit nutrition education foundation, tells Mother Nature Network that in traditional societies that have no access to Western foods with processed sugars and white flour, many of these indigenous people have no cavities, and flash smiles with perfect pearly white teeth, even though tooth brushing is rare, (or was rare, depending on the society).

“Within a very short time of forgoing their traditional, native diets, though, cavities become evident,” says Fallon, adding that the next generation of natives who eat processed food will begin to develop crooked teeth.

Fallon points to the research pioneered by the foundation’s namesake, Dr. Weston Price, an Ohio dentist, referred to in some circles as the "Charles Darwin of nutrition." The late Price, in the 1930s, traveled the world as a sort of a cultural dental anthropologist. His book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration," features many photos of the teeth of various native societies, from isolated villagers in the Swiss Alps, to the Maori of New Zealand, to the coldwater fishermen of Scotland’s Hebrides islands.

Vitamin K to the rescue
Price discovered a substance he termed "Activator X" that all the natives with healthy teeth had in their saliva. Price didn’t know exactly what Activator X was, but shortly after his studies, science classified the cavity combating compound as vitamin K. A study published in the Journal of Dental Research states that in 1942, it was proven that vitamin K prevented the formation of acid buildup, which is a major cause of cavities.

Some of the foods that are high in vitamin K that Price observed traditional societies consuming were:

• Chicken or goose liver
• Fermented foods like sauerkraut
• Grass-fed animal fat
• Grass-fed, raw butter
• Egg yolks

So should you run to your nearest health food store and swallow a pill of vitamin K and not worry so much about brushing your teeth twice a day? And perhaps buy some goose liver?

“There’s nothing wrong with brushing twice per day. We are genetic mongrels in America. None of us has a perfect diet, so I would definitely recommend brushing your teeth,” Fallon says.

It’s not just junk food that causes cavities
Dr. Jacquie Fulop Goodling, a Manhattan-based orthodontist who has traveled the world educating people about oral health, addresses a common misconception that modern-day processed foods alone contribute to dental caries.

“Diet plays an important role but even natural carbohydrates like bread, rice and pasta — the staple in many diets — break down into simple sugars, which can cause decay. Also, there are many factors contributing to periodontal disease and diet is only one of those factors,” Goodling says.

Some societies that don’t use toothbrushes
“In many regions of the world, people are cleaning their teeth with twigs, most often from oak and neem trees,” says Dr. Steven Goldberg, a Boca Raton, Fla., general and cosmetic dentist and inventor of a modern oral care product, DentalVibe.

“They break a twig in half, splay and soften the broken end and then rub it on their teeth, in effect, wiping the surface of their teeth clean,” Goldberg adds.

Arab Bedouin tribes still clean their teeth by using the twigs of the arak tree, which contains antiseptic properties. Other Muslim and African cultures use a similar stick, called miswak, which naturally has a high concentration of cavity-fighting fluoride.

A paper posted on the National Academy of Dentistry’s website says that Hindu Brahmins and priests clean their teeth using cherry wood for an hour, facing the rising sun. Another religious group in India, Jains, cleans their teeth using fingers and without using a brush.

In other rural areas of India, people use twigs from mango, cashew or coconut trees.

What some cultures use for toothpaste
Some folk in rural India, Africa, Southeast Asia and South America use brick, charcoal, rangoli powder, mud, salt or ash for cleaning the teeth. This may result in gingival recession, abrasion and dentin sensitivity, says the National Academy of Dentistry.

Should Americans ditch their toothbrushes and clean with sticks instead?
The inconvenient truth about going to the dentist at least twice a year and replacing your toothbrush is that all the discarded toothbrushes and toothpaste containers end up in the landfill. But it seems that Americans are in no rush to clean their teeth with twigs. Toothpaste, whiteners, sugarless gum, mouthwash, manual or electric toothbrushes, floss, and other oral care items retailed at $9.1 billion in 2008, according to the U.S. Market for Oral Care Products, 7th Edition.

Whether or not you choose to go native and clean your teeth with a tree twig, “Oral hygiene can be a very important component to our overall health. The mouth is full of bacteria and not caring for it can cause inflammation. The gums can become unhealthy if proper dental hygiene is neglected and this can create low-grade infection that can cause inflammation and other problems throughout the body,” says Rebecca Crowley-Huey, physician assistant at BodyLogicMD of Houston, who adds, “Brain fog, autoimmune disease, gut infection or imbalance, and fatigue can be some of the problems caused by inflammation and your mouth is sometimes your first line of defense against foreign material.”

Two times a day is much better than only one time per day, says Steve Krendl, a dentist at Hopewell Dental in Heath, Ohio. “A thin film of organic matter, called a biofilm, forms quickly on our teeth throughout a day. Left undisturbed, this turns into plaque, which can harden within 24 hours.”

Now that’s something to chew on.

13 natural remedies for the ant invasion

Ants are making their way into homes this time of year. Thankfully there are natural pest control methods to help you cope with and eliminate the problem. Plus, many of the solutions use what you already have in your cupboard!

Photo: Lindspetrol/Flickr
Little tiny ants have been spotted in our new home, and many people are suffering the same fate across the country. As much as I love spring, I don't like bugs — especially bugs that can infest a house. Last week I asked for some advice in how to deal with ants naturally as I hadn't time to research it myself since I moved this last weekend. I got such good advice, I had to share it with the readers here at MNN as well.

Some of these measures are deterrents. That is, they deter the ants from coming in your house. This seems to work well for those with a mild problem. Others found that they needed to use a method that kills the whole colony of ants. I've compiled the comments and suggestions by category, allowing you to compare the different methods a little more easily.

1. Lemon juice
Teresa: We just spray around the openings with pure lemon juice … and it always works for us … something about the acid messes up their sense of tracking…

2. Cinnamon
Shayla:We use ground cinnamon around where there are coming it. It works really well.
Peggy: We spray cinnamon essential oil all around the doors, windowsills, floors, etc. keeps them from coming in. I put the sugar water and borax OUTSIDE!

Letia: Another vote for ground cinnamon. Easy to clean up afterwards and worked great for us!!!
Jean: Cinnamon and cloves. Makes your house smell nice and the ants just hate it sprinkled right in their path.
Patricia: We also use cinnamon oil. We draw borders around everything with a Q-tip dipped in it. They won’t cross it.

3. Peppermint
Heather: My mother-in-law has success with peppermint essential oil around windows and doors (any entries). Plus her house then smells awesome.

Julie: Dr. Bonner’s liquid soap in the mint aroma. Mix 1 to 1 with water in a spray bottle. Spray on the ant invasion and watch them suffer.

4. Borax, water and sugar
Kristi: We use borax, sugar, water and a touch of peanut butter. It takes a couple of weeks but really works. We used it last year in our old house and are implementing it again this spring in our new house. Pesky ants! Here is the site where I found the recipe:http://naturalantkiller.blogspot.com/

Christy: I second Diana’s comment about borax and sugar. I’ve made a thin paste before with water, sugar and borax, then spread it on little pieces of thin cardboard or stiff cardstock and placed them near where it seems they are coming into the house. They’ll eat it and take it back to their colony (just like the Terro liquid you can buy). The paste will dry up in a couple days, so you’ll have to make more. But I think I only had to do it twice before they were gone.

Chookie: What worked for us was a mixture of borax and sugar in water. Several years ago, we lived in a house where there was an ants nest in the walls. Removing it would have meant virtually demolishing the entire front wall of the house (not practical!), so instead, after a year or two of having flying ants swarm into our bedroom every year we decided to go on an ant killing spree. Conventional ant killers didn’t work. Borax and powdered sugar didn’t work. But adding water to the borax and sugar mix to make a thick sugary borax-y syrup DID work…. the worker ants took it back into the nest and it positioned the queen – result = no more flying ants. OK, so borax does need to be kept away from pets and small children, but it is relatively safe beyond that as it is only toxic if you eat it. my solution was to put it somewhere where the kids and the cats would not reach it but the ants could.

BeverlyC: We live in China and had a HORRIBLE ant problem in our house. Tried cinnamon, black pepper, vinegar, etc. etc. We were concerned about the borax because we have guests in and out regularly and the little children are often, well, naughty and undisciplined. When someone suggested Terro liquid ant bait and we found it was just Borax and sugar, we asked someone to bring us some. We could pick the traps up and put them away when company came and put them back out after they left. They worked wonders!!

5. Boiling water and dish soap
Jennie: We make sure all of our food is sealed up. The honey jar is usually the biggest ant magnet, so it gets a thorough washing and then is placed on a small water-filled saucer in the cupboard. We use a spray bottle filled with water and a squirt of liquid dish soap (I use Seventh Generation) to kill any visible ants. I also look around outside to try to find their hill; pouring a kettle of boiling water on it solves the problem.

Christy: I’ve done what Jennie mentioned too – boiling water will destroy an ant colony, or weeds popping up between sidewalk cracks or in mulch. It’s an easy, purely natural way to kill things that we don’t often think about.

6. Diatomaceous earth
Karen: Yes … diatomaceous earth (DE) works well … use food-grade not swimming pool DE. It should be sprinkled around the perimeter of your new home and you can also safely sprinkle it inside where you see them.

Do not wet the DE or it will not work. DE isn’t an instant kill but should resolve the problem within a week or so.

Jami: I have a pretty serious any invasion at my house too. When I moved in last April they had already made themselves at home. I did the cinnamon thing last year and worked ok, but they just kept finding new ways in. My ants weren’t attracted to sugary things, but protein, especially the dog food. This year I made some borax cookies and put them in the old fireplace where I noticed the ants returning a week ago. I also sprinkled DE around the perimeter of my kitchen and that seems to have worked better than anything so far for immediate results.

7. Chalk
Natalie: Oh! And they will not cross a line drawn in chalk. I drew a line around my window where they were coming in and it kept them at bay.

Anali: My grandparents has really good results with the line of chalk, they used powder that you can get at home improvement stores. It comes in a squeezey bottle so it’s easy to lay down a line with.

8. Baking soda and powdered sugar
Jennifer: Ants carry an acidic substance with them always for protection. I do a mix of baking soda and powdered sugar in a plastic lid set in strategic places. I think a little volcanic science experiment happens inside their bodies. Over the course of several days it has made a huge difference.

9. Coffee grounds
Lea: I have had success with used coffee grounds, I did know where their entry was, after putting it in the cracks they never returned. I also do know it doesn’t kill them, it just makes them move homes, (we have put them on beds outside and we just see them pop up a small distance away.

10. Cornmeal
Jill: One more thing to add to this. I saw somewhere to use corn meal. Well, it worked out since some moths got into my cornmeal, and I felt bad wasting it. That’s when I saw the idea and tried it. I sprinkled a little bit just off the back porch. Every day I would check and every day the same trail of ants was still there. Then I forgot about it. My daughter found another ant nest further out in the yard, and it made me remember to check the last trail. It was gone, completely gone. So, I sprinkled it on the new nest, and less than a week later, it is gone. If you google it there are a ton of places where it mentions it. Here’s just one link, and if you scroll to the Tip there is still another idea using molasses. Although if cornmeal will work I think it’s cheaper, and safer around kids and pets. http://www.ehow.com/how_6395566_kill-ants-corn-meal.html

11. Cream of Wheat
Rebecca: Cream of wheat! They eat it & it expands & they explode! Ha! I used it in my garden for ant problems. Kind of makes you wonder what it does to our insides when we eat it too

12. Vinegar
Kristie: Vinegar! Since we switched to using a vinegar/water solution for mopping the floors and cleaning the counters, our ant problem has vanished.

Mysty: Vinegar is the one sure solution, but you need to pour it where the ants have their nest, not just to where they walk around. If you find their nest just pour about 0.5-1 L of white (cheap) vinegar. I never had ant problems but my grandparents sometimes has as they has a big farm and there is always an ant problem is some corner of the farm

Cath: We used a mixture of vinegar, washing up liquid (ecover) and peppermint oil last year. Tracked them back to their nest and syringed it into the cracks. They never came back.

13. Equal
Tea Leaf: We killed our ants by mixing Equal packets with apple juice. It is a neurotoxin to the ants. Scary that people put these in their coffee.

Are You a Mosquito Magnet? Blame Your Blood
• Megan, selected from Mother Nature Network
• July 17, 2013

If you’ve ever suspected that you are irresistibly attractive to mosquitoes, you might not just be paranoid. Mosquitoes are drawn to all kinds of physical particularities, from smelly feet— which they flock to — to the carbon-dioxide and body heat that those with higher metabolisms throw off. Yep, that means kids and the naturally lean are more likely to be nibbled on.

But a little-known fact is that mosquitoes are also attracted to one blood type over all others. People with Type O blood were found to be twice as attractive to skeeters than those with Type A blood in a Japanese study. Interestingly, mosquitoes can taste, via skin secretions, what blood type we are before they suck any blood, which is what enables them to find their favored blood type.

The good news? You can repel mosquitoes naturally in a variety of ways. One easy way is by choosing different clothes. Mosquitoes are attracted to darker colors (black and navy blue) and alight less frequently on light colors like white, khaki and pastels — all popular summer colors. Perhaps mosquitoes have evolved away from landing on lighter colors because they can be seen — and slapped at — more easily. Mozzies are also most active at dawn and dusk, so if you avoid being outside during those times, (or stay in a screened-in porch, one of my favorite ways to beat the bugs) you can avoid them fairly easily.

Leaving spiders alone (with their webs intact) is another great way to reduce skeeters in your neighborhood; mosquitoes are a favorite food for arachnids and get easily stuck in their webs. A single bat can also eat hundreds of mosquitoes of an evening, so consider installing a bat box to encourage bats to live near your home, and they will feed on all the pesky biting bugs.

There are also plenty of delicious-smelling natural, nontoxic essential oils that repel mosquitoes. I use a combination of lavender, tea tree oil and a touch of citronella, which keeps the buzzing menaces at bay. Occasionally, a mosquito gets through the haze of scent and gets me, but it’s summer after all. A bite here and there reminds me that we live in a world inhabited by many, many other creatures — some of which want to eat us.

Trapped in Her Autistic Body, Girl Finds a Voice!

Inspiring! This report is a little dated, but still so moving and interesting. Carly Fleischmann was born with autism. Her parents would not give up on her — pouring into her life unconditional love and thousands of hours of therapy. It seemed hopeless, until a breakthrough at 11 when she found her “voice.” (Carly has since graduated from high school, written a book with her father, and is headed for college!) http://carlysvoice.com/home/

I have noticed so many around me that are consciously anchoring the new vibrations and frequencies of the planet, that are literally asking to exit, to leave, they are so tired and just need a break.
Even with the shift being noticed by them...they still are asking to leave, or get a walk in to keep going.
Lightworkers are tired.

Nothing makes sense.
Our bodies are creaking and moaning from all the symptoms associated with raising our vibration, expanding our hearts,our
consciousness.
Many of us pretty much have left whole lives behind.
Friends, loved ones.
Homes,businesses.
Financial stability.
We don't fit in, we know too much(how does one unknow something...?)
We can't stop from going forwards.

We are now part of the flow, there is no going back.

The emotional releases are very hard.
The physical symptoms can knock us out for days sometimes.
The mental deprogramming is such hard work.
The ways we spread the light during our waking moments are constant.
And that is just our waking days, god only knows what all we are doing in our sleep time when we exit...

Do we rest at all? Ever?

I mean honestly,how many of us can function in society as it is today?

I know I can't.
Nor do I want to.
I don't fit here, I don't fit there.

I too have many times thought I could not go on.
Screamed in anger that I have had enough!
I want out now!
Completely broken down and hopeless.

And yet I am still here.

I know things seem to be at the lowest point.
Looking outside of myself,I see so many unsurmountable problems, such enormous foes to overcome.
But things are never as they seem in this world.
That is something I have learned.
Things are never as they seem.

There is a very different energy that is running through the grid right now,more complex, higher vibrational, more clear and definitely fluid.
The flow has truly become the flow.

(I am a grid worker, I feel the energies of the grid, and transmute through my heart the denser energies,((especially emotional energies))raising the vibrations and frequencies of the grid as the energies flow through me...)I then anchor the energies into the crossing ley lines.
I feel the grid very differently than others,(I guess that is because how I see it fits my "job" lol) but then we all feel everything differently from one another, why would we duplicate experiences?
I know that this difference i feel is really big,and I know that many feel it too.

There is a fluidity to the flow that was not the same before...
And you know how water is, it will go where it will go and take along with it all in its way.

I feel that we have all(yes all of us) been transmuting the energies and emotions and actions that were of lower vibrations that were running through the grid.
But this time was different than before, this was like tar and slush, the sticky kind, and it required a lot of work, for we are now transmuting deep energies that have indeed become very dense.
They don't want to go.
Like it there.
Made themselves comfy.

Gotta scrub extra hard.
Which is always difficult when one is tired and all they really want is to sleep.

So I guess I am writing this today to say that yes I know all are tired.
But there is change happening and we can all feel it,one way or another.
Our hearts,battered and bruised know we are making a difference at this time,all of us together...
Somewhere within us is a tiny little voice,for some it is louder than for others,but if we stop...
I know we all hear it,feel it...if we really stop,there is hope within us,again more for some than for others...but it is there.
Ultimately when we hear our hearts,we hear truth.
The truth unveiled.

We need to go within,hear our hearts and feel our world.

Hear our truth.

We feel the difference now, our hearts are indeed all connected, all one.
And so we will get past this.
Because our hearts are guiding us.
And when we hear our hearts and connect one to another, we are unstoppable.
At least that is what I feel is my truth.
What my heart says.

In Light and Love and full of Hope
marie

In the young children we can find the sprite and freedom that we once knew. From within their smile and their laughter there is a warms that shines from their hearts.

And each new day is and adventure full of love and joy for they are untouched by the hardships of life.

James H Bloom 7/19/2013

This is how the grid feels at this moment to me.
I am feeling such a difference between what I feel is the outside world,and what I see of the world, with my 3d eyes...
I feel a world very different than the one i see...
It seems to be just beyond my vision,still somewhat hidden in the myst...but i feel the shift,with every molecule in my body,something outside of me has changed...something outside of me has shifted.
Big time,like planetary wise.
Does anyone else feel this massive shift?

The grid feels different to me too.
It does feel like liquid energy almost, with the unstoppable energy of the flow behind it.
But with sparkle colors,or rainbow colors,almost as if the grid has now been painted by all the colors and more.
Everyday I feel those which are remembering and centering in their hearts,almost like the maximun has now been reached,like more riders on the bus,and more buses waiting...

Interesting this massive cosmic alignment happening now,all water signs aligned just so...
Water,to me,the same as emotions.
Seems to be a lot of water issues going around.
There are a lot of emotions which seem to be flowing through the grid, emotions fluid as the water itself...the quickness of the releases really quite amazing.
It feels to me as if Mother Earth is emotionally healing as well.
The colors which are now running through the grid are much more intricate,intertwined.
Of higher vibrations and more complex frequencies.
The grid of the earth seems to have straightened and become much more fluid...almost like water itself.

This is of course how I view it.
How i feel the changes around me.
At this point I am so far off any point of reference I am flying blind.
Can only take it one step at a time.
Stay in my heart and have faith.
Allow myself to feel.

And at this point I feel hope running through the grid...
...it's been a while since i have felt the energy of hope running through the grid...it is truly beautiful

In Light and Love and full of hope
marie

Will be interested to know if anyone feels a difference too...

This morning (18/07/2013), I was guided into nature for the intentional manifestation of what is being called “The Healing Well.”

This is what I saw & received:  Lord Melchizadec came towards me and gave His blessing. The Well span towards me and took up a stationary orbit. It is situated between the Sun & Mother Gai. It has a stone ring wall, as you expect for a normal well; this is to help your focus & connection, it is both a sign post & anchor.  It has no bottom, because love has no end. It has no cap, for real love is free. A ring of masters were sat & stood around the well, filling it with light, they are so joyful. The well is protected by AA Michael, who has assistance in both bringing you safely to & from the well. Those whom serve the well’s purpose from above will fill it from above. Those whom serve the well below, will fill it from below; as above so below. Mother Gai and the Sun (Helios & Vista), both have access to fill and take what is needed. This tells you of the scale of energy involved. The Well is both micro & macro-cosmic. Looking within the well, I saw a spinning ball of golden white flames, spinning incredibly fast, as bright as the sun, but more luminescent. As I withdrew, it turned into spiralling galaxies. It was quite beautiful to behold.

Peace & Love

  I used to love zombie movies, back when I was a slave to T.V. They made me laugh. I had the opportunity to see the new one last week and for the first time, I became truly horrified. I saw myself as I had been, ravaging away at life, tearing away at creation, destroying myself and feeding from others. It was a moment of excruciatingly wonderful perceptional insight. A tad disproportional, no doubt, but I know you understand.

  I was once told that newly raised ascended masters were considered just kindergarteners’ and this made me ponder, if that is so, then maybe all who sleep are the true zombies of Hollywood & the 3D reality.  Little wonder that heaven weeps, I joined in their shedding. I have come to realise that by watching them, I was telling myself that I was incomplete, unconscious, lost to my true self.

  Inter-dispersed among these tears though, were also tears of joy & gratitude. Mother/Father God gave us three gifts when we were created; Freedom of Will, Freedom of Choice & Freedom of Expression. All of creation was made so that we could see the sheer magnificence of God & the love God holds for us. God hopes that we will use these gifts to return home, free of the contamination of un-real love.

  What a difficult journey this has been for me; I made it so and now I see how difficult it can be for even those of us who have accepted responsibility for our own awakening. We are truly blessed and know it. We have access to true self, real life, our own personal souls & the myriad of life forms out there, who have dedicated themselves to our service, in the hope of re-claiming us to God.

  For the last few years I have trans-versed this beautiful world, seen as you have, what no eyes should have to tolerate viewing. The Book of Sorrows is a hard read in deed, for all of us. Yet, I will not put it down; it has brought to me a level of compassion that is beyond mere words.

  My heart & soul now yearns with a deafening desire to reach out to those whom are suffering the greatest; those who have no inkling of true self or real reality; those who have no clue that there is more to life, to themselves than they could even imagine; that there are other paths, support that can carry them through all these changes, especially the physical ones; that hope still lives.

  The issue is how to do this; it rakes my heart & mind. There is little middle ground & a widening gap between conventional society and our awakened communities. Do we simply move on and hope they follow? As we move on, they must do so too; it comes down to a matter of their experiencial journey does it not. Do we as a community attempt to offer ease to the suffering on a more visible global scale, shine a light directly for others to see & potentially make a course correction towards? Do we not do so on a daily basis by just being more of our true self than most and by being here? Can we as a community up the ante, as it were and magnify that light a thousand times, in a way that speaks to those who are seeking & for those who do not even know what they are seeking. Many more questions have been flooding my mind these last few weeks.

  In truth, we can save none, but ourselves. Attempting such an endeavour can be potentially seen as an ego archetype of saviour syndrome. The world has moved on from such things. The world needs no saviours, we are even past the time of teachers, gurus & masters; there are only guides now, sharers of light, love & wisdom.

  I feel and am directed towards the answer being within the physical realm of being. This is a fishing line, if you like; the bridge between our reality & lower consciousness. This is after all the least of our common denominators & the most easily accessible level for all. Conventional society dismisses us healing facilitators; we are ridiculed mostly out of hand, many are still in the grasp of un-reclaimed ego and our light triggers reaction, rather than response. Our health systems are in the firm hold of pharmaceutical companies. Our brothers and sisters are filled with pills or drugs and are given advice that falls very short of how things really are.

  I do not feel that this is enough though, by itself.  We would be more successful, if we chose to show what benefits of being awakened can have on the physical body & this would hopefully encourage true seeking on the higher levels of being & so make an impact on suffering, when there is no need to suffer.

  Only recently, has Reiki started to become accepted within traditional healthcare systems. It has been scientifically proved to reduce stress, speed up recovery, reduce the need for anti-emetics & reduce the need for analgesia (pain) medication. Hospitals, especially in the UK, are now implementing a Reiki service, because of the potential financial savings from the above & because more patients can be seen. These services are expected to be provided on a free basis though. Master Usui saw the disappointing result of such service first-hand. While asleep we are programed to only value that which has been paid for. Our service is not valued, for the immense gift it is & the spiritual aspect is lost on many of the receivers. There are ways to give free service; we simply need to be more congruent in this kind of provision with regards to the sleepers.

  We now have the new problem of demanded regulation. The system is demanding proof of learning, indemnity insurance, professional body registration C.P.D and more. The negative ego system has ever sought to control "The Suns of God" and re-entrap the awakening back under its control. I was once a deeply entrenched supporter of the system once.

  However, it is our free choice as individual aspects of the one soul as to whether or not we accept that control, to play that game, or to weave between the lines of "No Man’s Land." There are also many more energy healing modalities out there besides Reiki. There are only a handful of sites on the web dedicated to reporting Reiki session outcome results and they are bogged down in the game. It is part of the big game to experience all the traps, before one can recognise and exit them.  Patients are especially, starting to look further afield for support, but have no idea where to look or what modality would suit them best, even the basics concepts of energy work are still hard for many to grasp.

  So, this week, I have been developing a site that would endeavour meet this need; a bridge, half way between the worlds, serving all. It is not perfect & it does play somewhat of the ego systems game; but I invite those who are interested to contribute, to give hope & direction. Let us give our extended soul family a clue that will hopefully encourage them to choose to begin their conscious path of awakening, in earnest, by beginning to show them what is possible in a way that is easily comprehended.

  The site is far from finished and I welcome your insights & content contributions. Membership will never be charged for and there are several benefits available already, for those who wish to access them.

  Thank you for reading this discourse. I hope that I have been able to touch your heart with this need.

  Here is the web URL, should you decide to take a look:

HOLY HARMONY - AN INITIATORY EXPERIENCE

THREE MAGIC WORDS 2012 (MOVIE)

One of the most transformational, inspiring, & beautiful films of 2012 is now available to watch for free. If you do not have a Netflix account, you can now watch 3 Magic
Words for free on Hulu!  
http://www.hulu.com/watch/503136

ABOUT 3 MAGIC WORDS 2012

Is there one cosmic energy force that is the source of all consciousness? Does it connect us to each other, to the Earth and to the entire Cosmos? Is all energy simply just energy without any intelligence whatsoever or is all energy imprinted with consciousness? 3 Magic Words is a new movie that explores the metaphysical realms of time and space and presents a new way for people to see themselves beyond their physical existence. The movie takes you on a magical trip into consciousness at both the micro-cosmic and macro- cosmic levels as it taps you into a communion with the very fabric of the energy within all things. There is a discovery that happens when you commune with this cosmic source. It is a shift that can occur in each individual to the realization that we are active co-creators and participants in all of creation itself. This film is a transformational experience and can change your life and your view of the world.

Discover The 3 Magic Words

Discover the power of the 3 Magic Words and you can achieve a higher
awareness of who you are and increase your creative power as a
spiritual being in a physical body. Why is this important? Why would you
want to achieve a state of higher consciousness? This is a crucial time
in our spiritual evolution where war, religious sectarianism and racial
discrimination are becoming tiresome to many. People are too attached
to their color, their religion and the country they were born in.
Separation consciousness seems to be the only thing they know. People
have been preaching oneness and love since the beginning of civilization
but it doesn’t seem to be affecting things on the collective
consciousness. So what is the solution? How do we unite with each other
like we’ve never done before?

3 Magic Words To Self-Realization

Can just three words bring people together into unity consciousness? Through our words, we can consciously attune ourselves to that Infinite Power of the Universe. Our body is really just made up of condensed energy and is an expression
of first thought. The conscious focus of our thoughts into words and
spoken with firm will to the universe can be used by anyone regardless
of their religious affiliation. The power of thought, (the power of
words) and how to use them with our strong will can create our reality.
As human beings, we are different from the other forms of creation: we
have the freedom to use these magnificent powers of thought and energy
to create in the physical world. We can use the same power that created
the universe to create our reality. The 3 Magic Words are a signpost to
help you apply the universal forces of creation to your life. The 3
magic words are the science by which we can attune the human mind and
will to the consciousness of the universe. But you can’t just speak the
three words and expect a miracle to happen. The movie can show you how
to develop your will so it is in tune with your soul’s purpose and you
will understand the 3 Magic Words on a level that goes beyond the words
themselves. Then you will see the true miracle of who you are and you
can control your destiny. What three words can do all that?

Awaken The Hidden Power Within You

The universe is vast and mysterious. It contains all that ever was or will be. Our earliest ancestors with their ever- evolving minds could never have imagined the border-less expansion of the cosmos that has revealed itself to mankind’s probing
eyes. Armed with our newly invented tool, called science, we’ve begun
to unravel some of the countless mysteries that have puzzled us through
the ages. It’s nothing short of a profound mystery that in this
limitless sea of space, filled with enormous galaxies, containing over
800 billion suns, life has emerged at all. But emerge it has. Somewhere
in a tiny little corner of an ordinary galaxy, filled with billions of
ordinary stars, there is a tiny blue planet, suspended in the black of
space. This minuscule world is home to a peculiar life form called
HUMAN. Humans have traveled a long road in trying to understand the
purpose of their existence. Humanity has finally reached a pinnacle in
its evolution where knowledge, unity and the desire for peace have
brought them closer together in solving life’s biggest mystery; Who am
I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of human life? 3 Magic Words is an
entertaining film that weaves together a tapestry of new age
thought, quantum physics, philosophy, world religions, cosmology,
archeology, geometry, and an amazing discovery about the nature of
consciousness. This new understanding of consciousness will take us on
an adventure of self-discovery and lead us into becoming a more evolved
human being so that we can awaken the hidden power that we all have and
share it with the world. The 3 magic words are here to reveal an amazing
truth about who we are and the power that this realization gives us.
It’s a profound concept that is transformational not just for each
individual but also for the whole planet.

Can Three Words Change The World?

If you want to make the world a better place, if you want to make
the world more peaceful, cleaner, safer, more breathable, loving and
spiritual, the transformation has to start from within. A new era in
consciousness has begun. We now know that we live in an eternal
universe. We now know about the illusory nature of matter. We will soon
discover the true nature of who we really are and the power that we all
have. It is time to realize our divine connection to the Universe and
discover the spark within us that is pure consciousness. What three
words can we speak to reprogram our subconscious mind? What three words
can we use to experience a positive appreciation for everything that we
have, live in the present moment and give us the feeling of total joy
and happiness? What three words are in divine agreement with our soul
purpose? If you are not your name, your personality, or your mind; if
you are not just a bag of flesh and bones… then who are you? Imagine
being able to consciously direct your thoughts, overcome limiting
beliefs, fears, negativity and pain. Imagine leaving the past behind and
living in the present moment, feeling complete happiness and peace as a
co-creator or your destiny. Imagine loving your life. Imagine loving
yourself.

A New Era In Consciousness

At the very core of your being you are the great universal
consciousness that exists in all things and you can tap into that part
of yourself that knows everything and is everything. The human mind has
extraordinary powers and you can tap into these powers to live the life
you were meant to live. When your thoughts, words and actions are in
alignment with who you truly are, you will start enjoying each moment.
You will stop judging other people. You will no longer see anything as a
conflict or worry. You will develop a new appreciation and always feel a
divine connectedness with others and with nature. You will let things
happen rather than trying to make them happen. You will have an
overwhelming feeling of love for all beings and all things on the
planet. Once you awaken to this new understanding, you can shift your
perception and shift your consciousness. It is not an issue of whether
or not we CAN make a difference. We DO make a difference. Everything we
do, say, and think shapes our reality. The 3 magic words are here to
lift you into a higher consciousness that will change the way you live
your life and change the way you see the world. They can help you to
open your eyes and finally see your connection with the All. They will
awaken you to the reality that we are all one and when we kill others we
kill ourselves. You will realize that what we do to the Earth we do to
ourselves. You will understand that we are the nature and we are the
land…and you will know without a doubt that we are living breathing
sentient aspects of the entire cosmos. Are you ready for that?

Lately I have moments where if I see a situation that I cannot stand, I feel disgust.
Anger and yes sometimes hate.
The injustices I see around me,I cannot tolerate.
And it is so strong this feeling.

I experienced this last week ,when a loved one was put through pain because others weren't aware of what they were doing.
Didn't think about her,thought about themselves.
The situation became unbearable to me.

I had to say something.
I could not keep quiet when I saw the situation and it was not for the highest good.
I did.
I spoke my truth.
It was not pretty.
I unleashed hate and disgust with my words.
I was hate.
Made all my loved ones aware that I could not stand the situation and it needed to change.

After my explosion...I went inside myself to figure out what was being mirrored to me that was so scary and ugly and disgusting that it made me be the same.
What was the root of the fear within me.
Going within was ugly,for I found many other fears hitching a ride with the BIG fear.

I found it finally, deep in the root of me.
The fear as a woman of being abandoned.
Especially being an old woman and being left unprotected by my loved ones.
And with it came a ton of other fears that had attached to it.
Being abandoned by my beloved,being abandoned by my children,being physically unable to protect myself...

Then came the anguish and the pain that was hiding in there.
The realization once again, of what love is not.
Oh I am so tired of these massive releases, yet at the same time when they happen a part of me is so happy, for I know that after huge releases come better connection with my heart,with my Source,more clarity...

I realized too that I am not ugly and mean and disgusting.
Even though those were the feelings I had, I am not that.
Or at least,maybe that was who I used to be, but I am not anymore.
So I want to let that erroneous aspect of me go.

And so right back I hopped into the loop, understanding that the situation showed itself as a way to let me see me better.
And let all others that were in the situation, see themselves better...
I know,I know for the greatest good of all.

But here is the strange aspect of it.
When I was feeling hate,and disgust and anger...it physically felt awful.
Like my body is not able to be in those emotions.
I felt not myself.

It actually felt as if my body was consuming itself.
I understood why the saying goes..."stress will kill you"
I guess the emotions of stress will kill you too...

So I took one step in front of the other.
First step,I forgave myself.
I know I was not in my heart,centered, but I did the best I could with the information I had at the moment, and within my abilities.
Second step,I asked for forgiveness to those I hurt with my words.
Third step,the only thing I could do, throw love at all of us.
That's all I got.

So I guess I am learning that this new passion within me, this masculine empowerment I feel, can quickly erupt into fire.
Going to have to find that balancing button, because I am in a stage where I feel like a lion, and don't really give a hoot what happens.
It isn't that I wish for conflict,no it is almost like I cannot walk away from an injustice.
And I will address it.
Can't help it.
Throat chakra spinning just fine...
I guess this is part of the new me.
Just gotta figure it out so that I don't just go out in the world and start to kick butt...have to have my heart in there too.

A beautiful friend of mine shared this video with me.
Pretty amazing.
Explains why I felt so ugly when the words were flying...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAvzsjcBtx8

Guess I need to be more aware of my words and the emotions that correspond to them...
Or maybe not.
Maybe how it all played out was perfect.
Just what needed to happen...
All I know is that what happened will never happen again, got that going for me.
It was after all what I was trying to accomplish.
They see it know and are aware.

So when all is said and done I know one thing.
I am human.
I was hurting.
I hurt back,like a cornered animal.
But I also found my heart in the process.
And today I am better.
I forgive myself and them because I see them as me.
All trying to find their way,just like me.
I know I can do better, but at the time,that was my best.
And I accept it.
It was their best too.

Shine Bright my beautiful family.
Know that even in those days when the bright and shiny takes a hit,and looks dark, it is still in there,shining as brightly as ever.
I know it is in there, some days more cloudy than others, but always there.
It is who we are.
Love.

In Light and Love

It seems that just when I think I have somewhat of a clue what is happening to me...
It all changes,over night it seems, and I wake up to Brand New Way.
That's what I call it,Brand New Way.
Never know when it will show up, usually when I have managed to put together puzzle pieces and made somewhat of a picture of what is happening...when I think I have a clue finally...
That's when I wake up to new puzzle pieces strewn all about, with no box for reference lol!

The latest addition of Brand New Way to my incredibly unbelievable life,has spun me off somewhere not of this time.
It has to do with timeline convertions I think.

I have been a hermit for several years, hmmmm,kinda like four or five of them,while I found my way through my dark night and my awakening.
So I didn't meet people, because I rarely was in places outside my home.
Now I am out and about once again and I am meeting people again.

There seems to be two kinds of people in my life.
The ones who reach me in passing to hear my story and to gather information from me as they continue on their path.
The ones starting on their awakening journey.
That I feel is one of my soul missions,to be here for those going through their awakening,give them information to stay out of fear.
They come in and are gone within hours.
We make beautiful connections.

And then there are the ones who blow my world away.
My soul family members.

I didn't really understand it until this last shift which explained a lot of things for me.
And then it happened again.
I meet someone new and there it was...instant deep strong soul connection.
I feel instant love for them.
Something more.

I have mostly had this with men.
However I met a beautiful woman who remembered us and she was the husband in our past life,so genders don't matter at all it seems.
The question of "is this my heart partner,my twin?"always pops up in my head.
But there doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency within me.
I am really more interested in meeting a new person in my life,if that makes sense.

This happened to me last week.
I met someone who is awake and we instantly connected.
We both spoke the exact same language.
It was awesome.
Our hearts recognized each other instantly.

And then we remembered past lives and why we came together in this lifetime.
And we both felt closure.
It almost feels like a timeline has ended and got settled up sort to speak.
Here is the thing though.
The person I was in that timeline has kinda merged with me.
Like brought along a little suitcase and had added new books of knowledge to my brain library.
Which I am happy to say seems to be coming online again.

I think this has been happening to me all along, but now there is so much more awareness.
So I think that when I have memories of other lifetimes,that person I was in those lifetimes comes in and joins me and brings that knowledge into my consciousness now.

And I am noticing now that as these awakened soul members come into my life I can't tell if I love them NOW so intensely...
or if I loved them THEN so intensely.
I guess since I have lost the sense of time this makes sense.
But it can make for a very confusing dating scene Lol!
I don't know whether to run from them as fast as possible, or marry them!
My heart feel no difference,for the past is the now.

Then I start to see the timeline thing and understand that this person is in my life to kinda say goodbye, for there always seems to be an aspect of me that makes me feel "ending" very strongly.
That makes me feel this is not meant to be in this life time.

Now I don't know if they go on,never to be more with me in this lifetime or not.
Haven't gotten that far.
I am just amazed at the incredible depth of emotion I can feel for what my brain says is a person I just met.

The good news is this last timeline convergence was from the 1950's so I figured I have about sixty years worth of soul family members to yet meet.
But I am getting closer.
I don't know to what, my heart says to have patience.
It says it is going to be amazing,whatever happens.
And that everything is just fine.

So if you too are caught up in a time warp loop and are reliving your past, grab the popcorn and watch yourself.
It is by far the weirdest thing I am experiencing at this moment.
I figured I would give it a bit, for change is the only constant in my life now.
Things might be completely different tomorrow.

But within me is the question...what will happen to me when the past has all merged into one me?
When the past finally becomes one with me in the now?
When there are no past timelines merging into one?
What will my days be like?
Will I be meeting a brand new group of family members for the next go around...?
Or will I step through the door into the great unknown?
Oh wait I did that already...I think we all did that already...

Shine bright my light family.
We are amazing.
I am so grateful to be experiencing all this with all of you.

Onwards and Upwards...one foot in front of the other.

Constantly hearing my heart.

Seems to be the best tactic for me at this moment.
Whatever timeline I might be traveling in...

In Light and Love
