HEAVEN #3727 In So Many Ways, February 7, 2011

 

God said:

Once upon a time, your mind wandered far from where you were. Your mind wandered, yet you were in your appointed place. Your mind was not and is not the key of you. Although your heart is a great key, there is a soul in the heart of you that opens up the whole Universe. The soul delivers Truth to you. It is the dawn that brings the steady sun. There is no darkness of soul, beloveds. If you do not see, it’s just that you are perhaps turned in another direction, or you have covered your eyes, or covered your soul with the trappings and trimmings of life on Earth. Just as, if you do not hear, you may have covered your ears.

 

What would happen if you believed in yourself? Then you would be believing in Me, for We walk together. Of course, I do not mean that you believe in your separateness. It doesn’t make sense for you to believe in yourself more than you believe in Me. I suppose that We could say that you ride on My shoulders. We accompany each other. I guide, and yet you steer. And yet I am looking out for you. Never think I trip you up. We ride together. We ride as One. You may steer, yet you don’t always know where you are going. You don’t always know where you have been. You don’t always know where you are right now.

 

You can repeat words you have heard, yet that is not the same as knowing where you are and what you are doing. You may tell a good story, and yet you may not have a clue. The fact is that We are riding high in the saddle. We gallop through life at the speed of light, and yet there is no hurry. There is no speed to no hurry in. There is no time. Light there is. Follow the light.

 

You are not chasing moonbeams. Can the light even of a moonbeam see itself? It can see an Eternal Light shining brightly within itself. Yes, the light within. The inward looks outward, and love captures itself.

 

There is spam that comes to your computer, and yet it does not come by itself. It is sent and sent repeatedly. You are not spam. You come from a Higher Source. You are not off an assembly line. You are birthed from the Heart of God. Even so, you stay within the Heart of God, or the Heart of God stays within you. In truth, there is no in or out. There is Oneness.

 

This is a new kind of math, and you only have to count up to one. If zero is the Wholeness of Everything, then it could be that one zero is all.

 

Do stars count themselves? There is star-ness. There is light. What other details are necessary to know? All you have to do is to look at a star, and you have deep knowledge of a star and all stars and the nature of stars. The light of the stars permeates you. The light enters you. How does starlight enter and light up your heart?

 

Is it through the eyes? It may also enter through the pores of your skin. Starlight seeps in and becomes you. You are born from the stars. A star of you was placed on Earth. You came to Earth, and the light of stars bounced to Earth with you, and you and I and the stars and the light of the stars are One Light that reflects the Universal Light of itself everywhere in so many ways.

HEAVEN #3731 If You Were God, February 11, 2011

 

God said:

When you have an idea, act on it. At least, don’t be so quick to dismiss your ideas. Give them a chance.

New ideas always seem far-fetched until they are accepted. Be the accepter of your own ideas.

 

Sometimes you have a thought of doing something nice for someone, and you dismiss it. You start to think it’s silly. The truth is that it may be the most useful thought you’ve had all day. It is always right to do a kindness.

 

You may begin to think that the person you would do this for might think you’re odd.

 

You do not do a kind act based on what the receiver of your kindness will think. You do a kind act because I have asked you to. I have woken you up to the concept that you want to do something out of the ordinary for someone. Now I am waking you up to the fact that, if you think of it, it is yours to do.

 

Come out of the vise of dailiness that you have squeezed yourself into. Do something different. Do something you have never done before. Astonish yourself with the truth of yourself. Bless yourself by blessing others. This is your birthright. It is your birthright to come off the back burner.

 

Now turn your light on. It is not the limelight you seek. It is not the limelight you get. You simply let the lighted being you are be seen. Turn that switch of love on. And leave it on. Switch no more. Let your light stay on. It will not seem so out of the way to you as it may seem now. Get used to making others happy and, consequently, yourself.

 

If you were God, and all were your children, what would you do, and how would you do it?

 

If you were a benefactor to all on Earth, what would you be thinking about?

 

If you could really accept what you are made of and what you are here for on Earth, how would you be different? Why aren’t you it now? There is no future in putting off the inevitable. The inevitable is your giving joy. The more joy you give, the more joyous you are.

 

You have put the cart before the horse. You have been looking to receive love when it is your place to give it. Can I say it more clearly than that?

 

This is not to say that you make yourself a martyr. It isn’t that everyone comes before you. It’s just that you recognize yourself in others. You are not a patsy. Others do not rule you. You rule yourself. You may think you are giving someone else a break. You may think you are giving someone else a gift.

 

You are giving yourself a break. You are giving yourself a gift. The gift of kindness you give is the natural next step. You do not give over yourself. You give of yourself.

 

Maybe your kindness sometimes is not to have to let those you find unlovely know that you find them unlovely. You don’t have to be their best friend. You can shed a little light on them. That’s all.

 

And when your heart is full for some people, don’t repress yourself. Enlighten yourself.

 

It is natural for you to love. You are not trying to make amends. You are not trying to get a high score. You simply are being Who you really are when you are done with the shackles that bind you.

Heavenletters #3734 What Is It You Cry For, Beloveds, February 14, 2011
Heavenletters™, bringing Earth closer to Heaven.

HEAVEN #3734 What Is It You Cry For, Beloveds, February 14, 2011

 

God said:

Sadness soothes you. Let’s admit that. You apply sadness sometimes like a salve. You take comfort from all your sad thoughts. Even when they make you cry, you apply your thoughts and find a reassuring comfort. This is okay, you know. What you have to do is to admit this.

 

Even your sense of guilt carries sweetness. Even your loneliness carries sweetness. You like feeling. You like feeling sadness. Don’t protest. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t conjure it so much. Let those tears slide from your eyes. Reap the sadness, and let it go where all sadness goes. It gets purified and flows back again. It gets sweeter and sweeter.

 

Don’t deny this. You take comfort in what was and is no more. And, yet, what I wish to convey to you, is that the lost events and people you miss exist as much now as they ever did. It’s just that you can’t go back to the time and physical existence they offered. Of course, at the time, the events and people maybe didn’t give you the comfort you take from them now.

 

And, so, in your very human way, you try to pick up the stitch you dropped so long ago. You were in such a hurry that you didn’t know you had dropped a stitch until you were long past it. So what is it that you cry for, beloveds? For whom is your sadness? It is for you that you cannot mend what you once did not know enough then to prevent and cannot mend now no matter how much you wish to, no matter how much you wish you had once.

 

The life you passed by so quickly once upon a time, you would get down on your knees to now. You would kiss away tears you once caused another. You would kiss away your complicity in a play you would now act out differently.

 

Kiss away your own tears now. Bless yourself, and get up off your knees. The sadness of your long-gone past is fleeing. Of course, that very flight contributes to your sadness too. It is another cause for you to be sad that you can’t quite so completely hold on to the sadness that you once held so close to you. Oh, no, you are even losing your total sadness.

 

Of course, you also have qualms for the future, yet, rather than sadness, qualms for the future may tend to be more like dread. Certainly, sadness is preferable to dread.
Now I suggest that you have gladness for the past and for the future, why not?

 

For the past, why not be glad that you care? Why not be glad that now you have grown and can see now from a greater perspective than you did then. You would, if you could, go back and change how you reacted back then, but, beloveds, you can’t. You can only tip your hat and say, “Sorry. I’m sorry now. I would love every minute with you now. What an oaf I was not to love every moment with you then. I could kick myself.

 

Now you are very tender to me, and you bring out all the sweetness in me that I was not aware of then and am so acutely aware of now. And so I have grown, and you whom I miss have been part of my growth. I thank you for all that I learned from you.

 

I’m sorry it took me so long to learn. May you know my love now. Maybe you always knew, and I’m the only one who didn’t.

 

“As for the future, let me forgive myself and let go of events and everybody right now, and regrets will cease to exist.”

Heavenletters #3738 It Is All an Idea, February 18, 2011

HEAVEN #3738 It Is All an Idea, February 18, 2011

 

God said:

When you have the sense that you are overdoing, no one makes you. No situation makes you. If you are doing too much, stretching yourself too thin, overextending yourself, no one and no situation makes you. You are under your own steam. You are not imprisoned nor do you have to be under someone else’s will.

 

By and large, no one is overdoing. For the most part, My children who feel they are doing too much are living with the idea that they are doing too much. The idea alone is enough to stretch you beyond your limits. It is all an idea.

 

There is no too much except as the idea says that there is. The idea has you in its grips. Somehow you gleaned the idea that you are doing more than you can do. That idea has taken hold. And life becomes too much for you. The idea is enough to do you in. Ideas can be expansive. Ideas can also constrict, squeeze, hamper, disengage, and make themselves come true. Sometimes no ideas are best.

 

Remember the true story of a tiny woman who was able to lift a car off her child? She never would have attempted it except to save her child’s life. On an ordinary day, she wouldn’t have had the incentive. In addition, she would have convinced herself beforehand that it was impossible for her to lift a car. That day she did lift the car, she had an incentive. And what was her incentive on that day? It was love.

 

If she had tried to lift the car in order to win a million dollars, her love for a million dollars would not have given her the strength. It must be, then, that love of money is not love. Or it is a watered-down love. Love of a child is another story. You can be sure the mother wasn’t thinking: “Am I strong enough?” There was no thought between the need, her impulse, and the deed.

 

When you have the sense from day to day that you are overdoing, you may have to slow down, not because you are overdoing, but because your mind told you so. Your mind may have told you that you are giving more than you are getting, that you are wearing yourself out for nothing because you are not seeing the appreciation in whatever form you require it.

 

The child saved by the mother did not have to repay the mother with even a word. That the child lived was all the reward the mother wanted. That the child could breathe, the mother could breathe, and her heart could be so grateful.

 

If you find yourself even slightly overworked and overwrought, it is likely that your mind has told you that you are not fully appreciated, and you have chosen to go by that idea. You have chosen to be an under-appreciated overworked martyr.

 

Perhaps you cannot bring yourself to say no. Perhaps you have another idea in your mind, the idea that you must be all wonderful, that you must be everything to everyone. Unless you believed that, you would be able to say no when warranted without blinking an eye.

 

The same mother who lifted the car to save her child’s life would not give her child every toy car the child reached out for. If she did, she would be placating her own image, the idea that she is a perfect all-loving mother.

 

Many people have to learn to say Yes, and many other people have to learn to say No. And many have to learn when to say Yes and when to say No.

 

If you are too stretched, you have chosen the stretching. You are responsible. No one but you.

Celebration of Spring in Moldova

strong>Martisor
Posted by Elizabeth Cusova from Moldova

Celebration of Spring in Moldova

Moldovans have a beautiful ancient tradition on the first day of March : Martisor (The Amulet). Its name is a diminutive from the name of Martie - the Romanian word for March. There is a similarity between Martie and the ancient Roman God "Mars" or "Marte" in Latin language. In ancient Rome this God was a symbol of revival, green fields, flocks and love. They used to celebrate their God on the first day of spring.
From the ancient time people were celebrated the coming of spring with long time forgotten rituals. They used small pebbles painted in white and red arranged alternatively on a string. It might be curious why they had chosen these two colors : red and white. In those times, many magical rituals involved human or animal sacrifices for determining their pagan Gods to listen to their prayers.

So blood was associated with life, fertility and worship. On the other hand, the snow, the ice and the clouds were white. In a single expression the meaning of two colors might be : "let's forget about winter and pray our Gods to bring us fertility".
At the beginning of 19th century the beautiful Amulet was found in many regions regions. Especially children and women wore around their necks or on their left hands two woolen yarns (one red, one white) knitted together and a small silver or golden coin hung on them. The belief was that those who wore that Amulet were protected and would have good luck in the next year. It was written in books that young Moldavian girls wore Martisor from March 1st till March 12th.

After two weeks, they used to tie their hair with that special red-white yarn waiting to see the first spring birds coming to their village. Only after that event, the young girls took out the Amulet and hang it to the first tree they saw in blossom.

After polio, Raghu Makwana lost his legs. He had to walk with the support of his hands.

 

 

A long time back, a few friends took a walk on the street with the inspiration to do a small act of kindness. After some searching, two of them saw Raghu arranging the shoes that people had left outside the temple. Given his condition, their first impulse was to do something for him, but when they conversed with him, they quickly realized that they were actually receiving a lot more than they could give him. Raghu's big-hearted devotion coupled with a sharp and street-smart intellect profoundly impressed them, so much so that they spoke about him to their nonprofit mentor Jayeshbhai, and ended up making him financially self-reliant.

 

Raghu's impluse of kindness is ever-present. One of his many kindness endeavors is the Tulsi project. Whenever he learns of a family (mostly in the slums nearby, the largest in the large Indian state of Gujarat) with some dispute or even violent abuse, Raghu courageously walks in to spread good cheer and gifts them a tulsi plant. Most of these are complete strangers. Sometimes he'll recite a prayer, sometimes he'll talk about wise saints, sometimes he'll share stories. Hearing hopeful messages from a young man without legs is quite transformative! When he leaves the holy Tulsi plant, people accept it as a blessing; and as they nurture the plant, and are reminded of its presence everyday, they sometimes grow in empathy. To date, he has given out more than 500 of these plants, one at a time.

 

Let alone folks in the slums, Raghu even attracts famous people. :) Once, a philanthropist gave a talk to the slum kids and described the experience of flying in a plane. A few weeks later, through wild serendipity, it so turned out that Spice Jet Airlines donated an entire plane for that whole group of slum children and young adults, including Raghu, to "fly in the air". Miss India herself received them at the airport, and personally chatted with Raghu about life in the slums, as they were all gifted a royal tour of a big city. Even more recently, when Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the former president of India, was giving a talk, he was so inspired by Raghu that he not only invited him on stage but also opened his talk with: "When I asked Raghu what is your dream in life, he said only one thing: 'I want to see the women of India and their children smile.' "

 

In Nadiad, during the 'I am the Change' film project, college students produced a video on him too:

 

Viraj_Raghu bhai.mov

http://youtu.be/nlQgC743org

 

As a Lok Mitra fellow for our Moved By Love posse, Raghu continues to shine his compassion quotient in creative ways. To start 2011, Raghu gave birth to one of his dreams. When he lived out on the streets, he often felt deeply moved by others on the streets who had even less than him. He made a vow to himself that he would return to serve them one day, and that day had arrived for him. He put together a team of five everyday folks, (one of whom is blind!), who would make small sacrifices in their own lives to support delivery of hand-cooked meals for some of the absolutely neglected people on the streets. They appropriately named it "Tyaag Nu Tiffin" (Food of Sacrifice). Everyday at 12:30PM and at 7:30PM, Raghu starts off on his hand tricycle to deliver the food. It's the same food he himself eats, but he won't eat it until he has finished his round of offerings.

 

In a recent feature in Times of India, Raghu notes: "I'm not doing anything great. I'm not on a mission to change the world. God has been very kind to me in my struggle to survive. Now it is my turn to repay the kindness by helping other needy human beings."

It’s Not a Fairytale: Seattle to Build Nation’s First Food Forest

 

Thanks to Casey and Andrea, It’s Not a Fairytale: Seattle to Build Nation’s First Food Forest

Forget meadows. The city’s new park will be filled with edible plants,
and everything from pears to herbs will be free for the taking.

 

By Clare Leschin-Hoar February 21, 2012

 

http://www.takepart.com/article/2012/02/21/its-not-fairytale-seattle-build-nations-first-food-forest

 

 

Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre
plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted
with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut
trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples
and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons,
honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be
available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s
first food forest.

“This is totally innovative, and has never been done before in a
public park,” Margarett Harrison, lead landscape architect for the
Beacon Food Forest project, tells TakePart. Harrison is working on
construction and permit drawings now and expects to break ground this
summer.

The concept of a food forest certainly pushes the envelope on urban
agriculture and is grounded in the concept of permaculture, which
means it will be perennial and self-sustaining, like a forest is in
the wild. Not only is this forest Seattle’s first large-scale
permaculture project, but it’s also believed to be the first of its
kind in the nation.

“The concept means we consider the soils, companion plants, insects,
bugs—everything will be mutually beneficial to each other,” says
Harrison.

That the plan came together at all is remarkable on its own. What
started as a group project for a permaculture design course ended up
as a textbook example of community outreach gone right.

“Friends of the Food Forest undertook heroic outreach efforts to
secure neighborhood support. The team mailed over 6,000 postcards in
five different languages, tabled at events and fairs, and posted
fliers,” writes Robert Mellinger for Crosscut.

Neighborhood input was so valued by the organizers, they even used
translators to help Chinese residents have a voice in the planning.

So just who gets to harvest all that low-hanging fruit when the time comes?

“Anyone and everyone,” says Harrison. “There was major discussion
about it. People worried, ‘What if someone comes and takes all the
blueberries?’ That could very well happen, but maybe someone needed
those blueberries. We look at it this way—if we have none at the end
of blueberry season, then it means we’re successful.”

Researchers say long-lost Leonardo may have been found

FLORENCE (Reuters) - Art researchers and scientists said on Monday that a high-tech project using tiny video probes has uncovered evidence that a fresco by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci lost for five centuries may still exist behind a wall of Florence's city hall.

"Together with art historians and scientists combining historical evidence and technology, this research team has unlocked a mystery that has been with us for more than 500 years," said Terry Garcia, an executive vice president of the U.S. National Geographic Society, which sponsored the research.

 

The project to find what has come to be known as the "Lost Leonardo" has been controversial, in part because researchers had to drill several holes into an existing work and because not all agree that the Leonardo fresco is still there.

 

At the start of the 16th century, Florence's leaders commissioned Leonardo, then at the height of his career, to paint a massive fresco celebrating the Florentine Republic's victory over the Milanese in a battle on the plains of Anghiari that took place on June 29, 1440.

 

Leonardo, who loathed war as "a most beastly madness," depicted a group of horses and riders furiously fighting.

He abandoned the project a year after he started, probably because a new experimental technique for frescoes failed. But some of his preparatory studies remain, as well as other artists' copies of the original fresco.

 

All traces of the original were lost more than 50 years later when Giorgio Vasari renovated the great Sala dei Cinquecento in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio and was ordered to paint a new fresco, "The Battle of Marciano," to accommodate the higher walls.

 

Some believe that Vasari was loathe to destroy Leonardo's work, so he built a new wall with an air gap of several centimetres in front of the Leonardo in order to preserve what was left.

 

MEDICAL-STYLE PROBE
Researchers used tiny, medical-style endoscopic probes And other high-tech tools inserted through existing cracks in the outer wall holding the Vasari fresco and took samples of substances.

 

"We found traces of pigments that appear to be those known to have been used exclusively by Leonardo," said Maurizio Seracini, an engineer and expert in art diagnostics who has been on the trail of the "Lost Leonardo" for three decades.

 

"These data are very encouraging," he said, adding that one black pigment found was believed to be of the same type used by Leonardo on the Mona Lisa.

The research work was carried out by the U.S. National Geographic Society, the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology at the University of California at San Diego and Italian art officials.

 

"I am quite convinced that something has been found and I think this is a historic day," Garcia said in an interview with Reuters at the presentation of the results.

 

"There is overwhelming historic documentation that indicates that the Leonardo was painted, that it was behind the wall and that it was in existence at the time that Vasari painted his fresco," he said.

 

"Then through a series of scientific analysis using state-of-the-art imaging technology we were able to determine that there was a wall in front of the original wall and we confirmed it visually with the endoscope that showed that there is a gap ... and the sample from the wall clearly indicates that there are pigments behind this," he said.

 

 

NEXT STEPS UNCERTAIN
He said it was now up to Italy's culture ministry to decide the next steps and if to explore other parts of the wall.

 

"We can't tell you today the condition of the Leonardo. That is for subsequent research and exploration," Garcia said. "Whatever remains of the Leonardo is behind that wall."

 

But some art historians are sceptical, saying the fresco of Battle of Anghiari was most likely destroyed before Vasari painted his new fresco.

Some art historians working on the project withdrew their support and Italia Nostra, Italy's leading nature and arts conservation group, asked Florentine authorities to halt it because they said it risked harming the Vasari fresco and because they believed it was unlikely that the original Leonardo was there.

 

Garcia dismissed the criticism. "I think we have demonstrated that those who said the Leonardo was not behind the wall are wrong," he said.

 

"All of the holes that were put into the mural were either in areas that had been previously restored or in fissures, so the original Vasari was not touched," he said.

 

But even some of the participants at the presentation urged caution.

 

"We need further certainties and maximum protection for the Vasari fresco," said Cristina Acidini, arts superintendent for Florence, in response to a question about what the next step would be.

 

"There are pros and cons about every art project," said Marco Chatti, head of the Opificio Delle Pietre Dure, Florence's most prestigious arts restoration laboratory.

 

Florence mayor Matteo Renzi said more work needed to be done on the project to reveal the condition of the Leonardo, which he believes is behind the wall.

 

"I ask the government to authorise us to find out how much (of the Leonardo) is left, in what condition it is in, and to evaluate if we can bring this work of Leonardo back into the light for the whole world," Renzi said.

 

The mayor said he believed that modern technology should allow the public to appreciate both the Leonardo and Vasari.

 

"But if I had to choose, I would choose Leonardo," Renzi said.

"Then through a series of scientific analysis using state-of-the-art imaging technology we were able to determine that there was a wall in front of the original wall and we confirmed it visually with the endoscope that showed that there is a gap ... and the sample from the wall clearly indicates that there are pigments behind this," he said.

 

 

NEXT STEPS UNCERTAIN
He said it was now up to Italy's culture ministry to decide the next steps and if to explore other parts of the wall.

 

"We can't tell you today the condition of the Leonardo. That is for subsequent research and exploration," Garcia said. "Whatever remains of the Leonardo is behind that wall."

 

But some art historians are sceptical, saying the fresco of Battle of Anghiari was most likely destroyed before Vasari painted his new fresco.

Some art historians working on the project withdrew their support and Italia Nostra, Italy's leading nature and arts conservation group, asked Florentine authorities to halt it because they said it risked harming the Vasari fresco and because they believed it was unlikely that the original Leonardo was there.

 

Garcia dismissed the criticism. "I think we have demonstrated that those who said the Leonardo was not behind the wall are wrong," he said.

 

"All of the holes that were put into the mural were either in areas that had been previously restored or in fissures, so the original Vasari was not touched," he said.

 

But even some of the participants at the presentation urged caution.

 

"We need further certainties and maximum protection for the Vasari fresco," said Cristina Acidini, arts superintendent for Florence, in response to a question about what the next step would be.

 

"There are pros and cons about every art project," said Marco Chatti, head of the Opificio Delle Pietre Dure, Florence's most prestigious arts restoration laboratory.

 

Florence mayor Matteo Renzi said more work needed to be done on the project to reveal the condition of the Leonardo, which he believes is behind the wall.

 

"I ask the government to authorise us to find out how much (of the Leonardo) is left, in what condition it is in, and to evaluate if we can bring this work of Leonardo back into the light for the whole world," Renzi said.

 

The mayor said he believed that modern technology should allow the public to appreciate both the Leonardo and Vasari.

 

"But if I had to choose, I would choose Leonardo," Renzi said.

Master Kuthumi's transmission

Circles for Ascension by Master Kuthumi

Channelled through Natalie Glasson- 03-02-12

My beloved loved ones, I come forward with much excitement to greet you. Much love pours from my heart and entire being to embrace you. We are one energy and I see the presence of oneness between humanity and the Creator growing tremendously. Oneness, unity and a continuous flow of energy are extremely important for all at this most sacred time as it will allow for the much needed transitions to take place. As always it is my mission to awaken your being and soul, allowing you to ascended a little more with each and every day you exist in physical form. I wish to speak with you about a process that will assist in clearing your energies, increasing the flow of energy within your being and allowing for a deeper connection with the Creator. With change occurring so readily and easily upon the Earth and within your being I wish to bring forward some inspiration to assist in merging your energies as one and maintaining an appropriate vibration of energy.

Many of you are already aware of the power of symbols and shapes, with ancient symbols still gaining respect, you are aware that a symbol holds a vibration which can influence your own energy. Such ancient symbols have been used by many on the Earth to enhance their spiritual growth but I wish for you to understand that every shape upon the Earth holds its own unique vibration which aids a greater connection with the Creator. It is not so much the meaning of the shape or symbol but the actual structure that it creates which have an influence upon your spiritual growth. I wish to say that not all symbols hold such power or influence but even shapes that you see in your everyday life such as a circle, square, triangle, hexagon, hold sacred vibrations to aid spiritual advancement.

Many ancient civilisations understood the power of shapes, tapping their consciousness and awareness into the shapes of leafs and the shape of the sun or moon. Many even contemplated as they gazed upon the shape of a single petal or a pebble to accept or activate wisdom within their beings. They realized that certain shapes had a positive vibration which accelerated their growth, therefore they placed these shapes in their living spaces or in sacred areas to not only enhance their energy but the energy of Mother Earth. I imagine that if you look around you at this very moment you will see many shapes whether it is in forms of furniture or pictures,all are influencing your vibration. It is unfortunate that humanity at this stage often takes the influence of the shapes in their reality for granted. With focus and understanding you are able to discover the shapes which aid your ascension and then surround yourself in these shapes or even wear them printed upon your clothes. You may need to have many different shapes surrounding you to constantly inspire your mind and soul or you may need to have one certain shape within your reality to bring focus, clarity and peace.

It is interesting to observe the shapes that you have currently surrounded yourself with, realizing any reoccurring shapes. You can then meditate focusing on your breathing as you concentrate your eyes upon the shape, asking for wisdom to be imparted to you or activated from within you. connected to the shape that you gaze upon. This is an interesting process as you also observe your feelings and any sensations that you gain as you observe the shape.

Many of you are already aware of the vibrations and influences of shapes whether you realise it or not, you hold this information within you from past lifetimes and this is why so many shapes have been developed in the current reality of humanity. I wish to also say that some shapes are thrust upon you to lower your vibration or to create blockages within your reality by those who wish to lower and maintain power over humanity. It is not my wish that you worry about the different shapes in your reality and whether they hold a positive vibration or a negative vibration, most hold a neutral vibration which is most supportive to spiritual growth. I simply wish to make you aware that there is consciousness, wisdom and spiritual inspiration in everything within and around you. I only wish to assist you in discovering shapes which aid and empower your being, then these can be used in your daily life.

The purpose of my communication today was to bring forward the shape of a circle to you. The shape of a circle has long been seen as sacred and represents oneness, a complete energy, unity, eternal flow, strength, unbreakable bonds, continuous focus and harmony. The circle can represent peace, both inner and external, as well as determination. We often understand the shape of a spiral to be extremely spiritual. engaging and important as it represents a continuous ever growing energy which is eternal. The circle in contrast seems to remain on the same level of energy continuing to retrace its steps, creating the same energy constantly. It is the constant unbreakable creation of the same energy that I feel is of most importance upon the Earth at this most divine time.

It is my wish that you draw the shape of a circle in your auric field during meditation many times. I believe that if you also call upon a certain energy of your choice to create the circle you will manifest an abundant appropriate energy vibration which will remain within your energy field to support your spiritual development, maintaining your vibration as change occurs within and around you. There is no need to be concerned that you will hold a similar vibration always because of this practice as each time you achieve the practice you can anchor higher or quicker vibrations of light into your being. Even after the meditation the energy will continue to flow and to create a vibration of your focus to support you at all times. Drawing the shape of a circle within your auric field and even upon your physical body can have a healing influence as it encourages your oneness and integration with the Creator, dissolving any stagnant energy and activating the natural flow of energy or life force energy through your chakras, body and aura.

I now wish to share my meditation practice with you.

First I wish for you to sit peacefully and focus upon your breathing.

Bring your hands to your heart chakra and ask your soul to share with you the most appropriate energy vibration that you need to anchor into your being at this time. It may be the energy of balance from the Creator, or such qualities as love, peace or joy. You may need to call upon the light of certain guides, the angelic kingdom or your soul. If you are unable at this time to gain any guidance simply ask to connect with the most appropriate energy for you at this time.

Then simply ask out loud to be connected to your chosen energy and for it to flow into your being through your crown chakra at the top of your head and into your heart chakra.

Let the light fill your heart chakra and flow down your arms into your hands.

Remove your hands from your heart chakra, hold your arms out slightly with your palms facing upwards.

Begin to draw circles with both palm chakras in which ever direction and way feels most appropriate.

Visualize or hold the focus of a circle in your mind as you achieve this, you may keep your eyes close and be aware of energy changes of energy.

You are integrating your chosen vibration into your being and auric field through your palm chakras and the constant shape that you are creating.

These shapes will continue to exist and emanate even after you have completed the practice.

You can move your hands around your auric field, up, down, to the sides achieving new circles as you focus on a certain area for an amount of time that seems appropriate.

When you have achieved this process you can imagine yourself as a large circle emphasising your oneness and unity with yourself and the Creator.

I hope that you will find this beneficial, it can be extremely powerful in cleansing, energizing and strengthening your being and energy vibration. You can change your chosen vibration each time if you wish or you can simply ask for a quicker vibration.

In energetic circles of oneness,

I am Master Kuthumi

Anita Moorjani experienced what most of us never have!
 


She crossed over
and came back
to share what she learned.


Doctors at the hospital had given Anita just hours to live when she arrived at the hospital that morning, unable to move as a result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for over three years.

Anita shares her experience of entering another dimension and being given a choice of whether to return to life or not. She experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>


Anita subsequently chose to return to life when she understood that “heaven” is a state, and not a place. This subsequently led to a remarkable and complete recovery of her health. 

Click here to read the full story of her NDE

The Gold Wrapped Gift

The Gold Wrapped Gift
posted by sethi on Feb 12, 2012

Some time ago, a man punished his 5 year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.

 

Money was tight and he became more upset when the child pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree.

 

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father next morning and said " This is for you daddy. "

 

The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner, " Don't you know young lady , when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package ?

 

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said " Oh Daddy , it is not empty . I blew kisses into it until it was full." The father was crushed . He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.

 

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the gold box by his bed for all the years of his life and whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

 

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children , family friends and God .There is no more precious possession anyone can hold .

Menominee Seventh Grader Suspended for Saying "I Love You" in her Native Language

Levi Rickert, editor-in-chief in Native Challenges. Discussion »

 

SHAWANO, WISCONSIN - What's love got to do with it? Not much, especially if you say the words "I love you" in the Menominee language in front of a certain Wisconsin teacher.

 

Miranda Washinawatok
Menominee

Seventh grader Miranda Washinawatok, Menominee, found this out.

Miranda speaks two languages: Menominee and English. She also plays on her basketball team.

 

However, two Thursdays ago she was suspended for one basketball game because she spoke Menominee to a fellow classmate during class.

 

Miranda attends Sacred Heart Catholic Academy in Shawano, Wisconsin. The school body is over 60 percent American Indian. The school is approximately six miles from the south border of the Menominee Indian Tribe Reservation.

 

"On January 19 I was told by Miranda she was being benched from playing that night. I found out at 4:20 and we were back at school at 6:30 pm so I could get to the bottom of why she could not play," said Tanaes Washinawatok, Miranda's mother.

 

"Miranda kept saying she was only told by her assistant coach she was being benched because two teachers said she had a bad attitude. I wanted to know what she did to make them say she had a bad attitude."

 

At the school, the teachers and coaching staff seemed to want to cast blame on each other, according to Miranda's mother.

 

"I wanted to talk to the principal, but he was not there before the game started," stated Tanaes Washinawatok. Being a persistent concerned parent, Washinawatok was back at the school by 7:30 the next morning to speak to the principal.

The principal told Washinawatok that the assistant coach told him she was told by two teachers to bench Miranda for attitude problems.

 

The alleged 'attitude problem' turned out to be that Miranda said the Menominee word

“posoh”that means
“hello”

 

and said

 

“Ketapanen”in Menominee that means "I love you."

 

Miranda and a fellow classmate were talking to each other when Miranda told her how to say "Hello" and "I love you" in Menominee.

 

"The teacher went back to where the two were sitting and literally slammed her hand down on the desk and said, "How do I know you are not saying something bad?"

 

The story did not end there. In the next session, another teacher told Miranda she did not appreciate her getting the other teacher upset because "she is like a daughter to me."

 

By the time, Miranda was picked up by her mother she was upset for being suspended.

 

"Miranda knows quite a bit of the Menominee language. We speak it. My mother, Karen Washinawatok, is the director of the Language and Culture Commission of the Menominee Tribe. She has a degree in linguistics from the University of Arizona's College of Education-AILDI American Indian Language Development Institute. She is a former tribal chair and is strong into our culture," states Tanaes Washinawatok.

 

Washinawatok has had a total of three meetings with school officials and was promised Miranda would receive a public apology, as would the Menominee Tribe, and the apologies would be publically placed.

 

"On Wednesday, a letter was sent to parents and guardians. A real generic letter of apology, that really did not go into specifics as to why there was this apology,"

 

Washinawatok told the Native News Network Thursday evening.

 

"I still don't think it was enough,"

 

Sacred Heart Catholic Academy is operated by the Diocese of Green Bay, which ironically has an option on its answering machine for Spanish, but not Menominee. A call put in late Thursday afternoon by the Native News Network was not returned by press time.

Inside an eco home: What life is like when you don’t have bills
By Yahoo! staff writer

Jane and Stephen Frances' eco home outside Ely
By Harriet Meyer

Energy bills are burning a hole in consumers' pockets, with the cost of heating and lighting the average home amounting to an eye-watering £1,200 a year, according to the Energy Saving Trust.
But some households manage to reduce or even wipe out these bills entirely by putting in place eco measures to reduce their energy consumption.

So what's life like for these eco-enthusiasts off the grid? Don't all those green tweaks and energy-saving measures get in the way of daily life?

 

Eco home in the woods

Jane and Stephen Frances, 56 and 53 respectively, are reaping the benefits of life in a 'green' home and find their quality of life is much improved. The couple bought a four-bed house made entirely from natural materials in the Fens outside Ely two years ago (pictured above).

"We saw it online and at first were scared of its unusual qualities — but we love it now," says Jane. "It's built from natural materials, so made primarily from timber, straw bales, clay and lime — and the roof is made of shingles which are a kind of wooden tiles."

Alongside the structure, the couple have installed a multitude eco-friendly measures to reduce their energy usage.

These include a wood-burning stove, for which they gather wood from the surrounding land, solar thermal to generate renewable power on the roof and rainwater harvesting — so there is an area on the roof where rainwater is collected in tanks to reduce the use of mains water.

"From April to October we really don't heat the water at all because the sun heats it, so we benefit from extremely low energy bills during these months," says Jane. "We also have an air-source heat pump, which is a low temperature heat source — and we aim to be self-sufficient by growing our own vegetables."

 

Jane and Stephen's garden

However, it's not just the odd eco-home around the country that includes a range of green measures.

Driven by the Government's 10—year plan for all new homes to be carbon neutral by 2016 many developers are building energy—efficient apartment blocks around the UK.

After all, a staggering 50% of the UK's carbon footprint comes from running buildings, according to the UK Green Buildings Council, so concern over climate change is seeing developers devise new ways to reduce their impact.

 

A feat of eco design

An example is One Brighton, built jointly by Crest Nicholson and sustainable developer BioRegional Quintain and completed in 2010, which comprises 172 studio, one and two-bedroom "eco apartments" in the New England quarter.

About 58% of the concrete frame is made from recycled materials, reducing carbon emissions by a third.

 

The aim of the project was to build a community designed to run entirely on renewable energy — and it appears to have succeeded. Principles include achieving zero-waste status through recycling and composting, building using sustainable materials wherever possible, implementing sustainable transport solutions and applying measures to support local suppliers, food and wildlife.

 

TheTop of FormBottom of Form energy on site comes from a renewable wood-fuelled boiler and photovoltaic array on the roof, with green electricity supplied from eight wind turbines. All communal areas use eco lightbulbs, with all fitted appliances being A or AA-energy rated. There is also an on-site composter.

 


The eco development One Brighton

But what are the benefits? As the 'zero carbon sustainable community' shares the building's environment facilities, you're likely to get to know your neighbours — so it's a sociable place with a shared sense of purpose.

 

How you can use less energy

Wherever you live there are various methods of incorporating energy-saving measures into your lifestyle to save energy in your home. Here is a selection from the Energy Saving Trust:

 

• Turn your room heating thermostat down by 1C to cut your heating bills by up to 10%.
• You can get foams and sealants available at most DIY stores to combat poor ventilation and draughts.
• Insulating your loft is also worthwhile to cut bills, as the recommended 270mm depth can be installed at a cost of a few hundred pounds — and you could save around £100 a year on your bills.
• Also, lag your pipes and water tank at the same time for maximum efficiency by fitting a British Standard jacket around your hot water cylinder — this can cut heat loss by over 75%.
• A third of the heat in an un-insulated home is lost through the walls. There are two wall types — solid walls and cavity walls. Both can be insulated to improve the energy efficiency of a property. If the home was built from 1920 onwards there is a good chance it has cavity walls. A home with un-insulated cavity walls could cost up to £135 more to run each year than one with insulated cavities, so it's worth finding out the state of play.
• You should replace your boiler roughly every 15 years and opt for an 'A' rated appliance which uses less energy and is also more environmentally friendly. Standard efficiency boilers that you may have had for ten years or more are only 50% efficient. Replacing a G rated boiler could save around £300 a year on running costs. Worcester's 'A' rated condensing boilers, for example, are particularly efficient.
• Double-glazed windows can save up to £165 on heating bills compared to a single-glazed property.
• Heavy lined curtains can help keep the heat in if double-glazing can't be fitted.

The world's weirdest festivals

The world's weirdest festivals
By Laura Tait

From jumping over babies to tossing tuna fish, there are some mightily odd festivals that happen around the world.

They may have become huge annual events, but we’re still wondering about the conversations that took place that resulted in them happening in the first place.

Here’s our pick of the best – or, rather, strangest – festivals around the world...

El Colacho
Castrillo de Murcia, Spain
10 June 2012

Men dressed as El Colacho - aka the Devil - jump over babies lying on mattresses in the street. Not just weird, but a little bit dangerous, surely? It dates back to 1620 and has something to do with cleansing babies of original sin and protecting them against illness and evil spirits. The babies in question are those born in the village over the past year.

If that isn’t quite weird enough for you then have this: the festival’s organisers, the Brotherhood of Santísimo Sacramento de Minerva, chase people around the town throughout the day. With whips…

 

Monkey Buffet Festival
Lopburi, Thailand
25 November 2012

Don’t worry – this doesn’t involve eating monkeys. The locals in this Thai village are so grateful for the thousands of tourists that their 200 or so primates attract each year that they thank them with a massive feast. Treats including grilled sausages, fresh fruit and vegetables and ice cream are set in front of the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple. Historically, it’s held in honour of King Rama, who rewarded his ally Hanuman (the monkey king) with the land that eventually became Lopburi.

Wife Carrying World Championships
Sonkajärvi, Finland
6-7 July 2012

An annual event where Finnish men negotiate a 250m racetrack full of obstacles whilst – and this is the important bit – carrying their wives (although they don’t actually have to be married). The exact carrying style is up to the participants: piggy back, fireman’s lift, on the shoulders – anything goes, as long as they’re first over the finish line without the wife being dropped.

Obviously the heavier the wife the more of an achievement it is, and this is reflected in the prize: the winner receives their wife's weight in beer. Contestants can relax post-race with the less strenuous Wife Carrying Karaoke contests, dancing, and traders’ markets.

 

 

Mud Festival
Boryeong, South Korea
14-22 July 2012

More than a million visitors flock to the South Korean city of Daecheon to cover themselves in mud, jump into mud baths, slide down mud slides or even indulge in a mud wrestle. The idea? To promote the Daecheon beach area mud. It’s not just any old mud though – it’s full of minerals that apparently have lots of benefits for your skin.

The idea of covering yourself in mud should be enough of a draw to get you to the festival (and that’s not sarcasm by the way), but it isn’t the only thing on offer – there’s live entertainment, contests and fireworks too.

 

 

La Tomatina
Buñol, Valencia
29 August 2012

Held on the last Wednesday of August each year, this is basically a massive food fight between tens of thousands of participants using over-ripe tomatoes, and it’s such a big deal that the party last about a week. Other ingredients of the tomato-fest are music, parades, dancing, and fireworks and on the night before the food fight itself, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest.

No one really knows for sure why they do it, although one theory suggests it stems from anti-Franco protests in 1945. Not that anyone cares – it’s just a good excuse to throw tomatoes at strangers.

 

 

Noche de Rábanos (Night of the Radishes)
Oaxaca, Mexico
23 December 2012

This odd, vegetable-themed festival has been around since 1897, but the inspiration behind it dates back to the 16th century, when vegetable sellers would turn radishes into sculptures to advertise in the markets.

Sculptures of varying themes – religious, historical, humorous, cultural, traditional - are displayed on the many stands set up in the city’s main plaza, and judges choose which of these deserve to win cash prizes.

 

 

Tunarama
Port Lincoln, Australia
January

 

The event is held over the Australia Day long weekend on the picturesque foreshore lawns of Port Lincoln, and what better way to showcase the region’s seafood, wine, art, music, people and surroundings than by seeing how far you can sling a tuna fish? It was launched 1962 with the intention of promoting the emerging tuna fishing industry in Port Lincoln, and it worked – the area now boasts Australia's largest tuna cannery.

Aside from the Tuna Toss, entertainment is provided in the form of stalls, sideshows and rides, events, activities and competitions. The record for the longest toss is held by ex-Olympic hammer thrower Sean Carlin, for his 37.23m effort in 1998.

Watch out for Jupiter and Venus

Watch out for Jupiter and Venus

 

Jupiter and Venus will appear closest over the next two nights, according to astronomers.

 

Although the planets are far apart in space, they will appear to be separated by only a few degrees.

 

Amateur astronomers will be excited by the prospect of two of the brightest planets in the solar system appearing so closely together, according to Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society.

 

He said: "Although conjunctions are not that rare, the interest in this one is a result of how spectacular it is.

 

"Both planets are very bright in the night sky. If you know where to look, you can even see Venus in the day. The two being so close together will be beautiful. Last night (Sunday) they looked like two beacons.

 

"It is also interesting for people because it just happens to be something which you can see for yourself. In the northern hemisphere we should look for them in the south west this evening. The pair will appear to move to the west over the course of the night.

 

"While the pair will drift apart after a couple of days, Jupiter will be visible for at least another two weeks."

 

Last Monday, Mars made its closest pass of earth in more than two years, and in June Venus will appear to cross in front of the sun from some positions on Earth.

Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service.

There's no 3D time here where I am, and it's difficult for me to give you or my partner messages that are synchronistic to the reality you live in. Instead, we often give you information about the energies and the potentials that are here and not something on your timeline. So that is what this particular message is about.

We have only a few things to say, but it's going to require that we do it slowly and accurately, for we're dealing with things my partner has no knowledge of. So I give him intuitive visions, and he then translates them in real time as he receives them. Even the voice that you hear, the consciousness that you perceive, and the energy that is around him is his ability to meld with Spirit in a quantum state. This allows him to bring forward in what you call real time a message that he is not aware of. He steps aside as he does now and, with curiosity, listens to what's happening next. It is not a takeover.

The man who is in the chair and I have an agreement, and it's one he hasn't talked about much. Years ago when I said to him, "We are going to channel in this fashion," he said, "I refuse to have a takeover." So instead, I offered him a meld and I said to him, "If you will meld with me during these times, there will come a day when the meld is permanent." And he agreed. Then he asked me, "Is the meld unusual?" I told him no. It is what every single Human can do - not to sit in front of humans and channel as you see now, but instead to have a direct portal to the Creator in all things. It isn't unusual. In fact, it's what every Human on Earth intuitively feels is what they want - a connection to home.

These things have been done by Humans many times before, and before that they were done, and before that they were done [explained in a channelling to come later]. The result of doing the meld properly eventually connects you to the Creative source and you stop being a Human, as you define it.

The ones who seeded this planet walk this day here and they don't die. They're in a quantum state and they can travel wherever they want. They reside in certain parts of the earth, including Shasta and Hawaii [in your country] and many other portals on the planet. Many of you reading this know what I'm talking about. And that is the promise of what happens with earths everywhere that go through a process where they pass the decision points and start another process, a process where they change their reality out of 3D into a new paradigm.
My Cryptic Communication

I am trying not to be cryptic, and at the same time I do not reveal the specifics of things that are not known to you yet. Spirit has a promise to humanity: Since you are the planet of free choice at the moment, we can't give you hints. All the things that are revealed must already be here in Human potential thought. All inventions of what might come about have to already be germinating somewhere in the Human mind. And if it isn't so, we don't speak of it. This respects the process of the test that is before you and the experience you have come to have. It's your agreement with us.

Perhaps this is the first time you've heard this from a channeller, the fact that we do not reveal things that are not already here in some form? It's the truth. However, typically Human creative thought, even of invention, of potential, of philosophy, may take a decade or more to reach the place where the masses may hear about it. So today I'm going to tell you some things that we see the potentials of that are there already. It isn't fortune telling. It's on the earth already. So I will walk you through some things quickly.
The New Energy 2012

You're in a new energy and it's just starting. It's different than the past New Energy. The end of 2011, mushing into this 2012 year, brought about what we have been predicting to you for a long time. It is The Bridge of Swords. The Bridge of Swords we have described before is a bridge that humanity uses to go from one energy to another and it's celebrated all over the Universe. It's celebrated by those who helped seed the planet and by those who helped seed them, and the ones before them and the ones before them. They are standing around you, in front of you, in the corridor of your life, crossing the swords above our head, celebrating a victory. Like the ceremony of marriage in the military, where the comrades in battle stand and cross the swords and you walk down the aisle, that's the Bridge of Swords and that's what you're doing.

Oh, dear ones, it may sound cryptic to you again, but these who cross those swords have gone through what you have gone through. They KNOW what is happening and where it may eventually lead you. They have been waiting for this for a very long time. There are so many from so many different parts of the Universe, and they all know.
Help With What is Currently Happening

You've got help. What happens to a planet that is starting to soften? Old souls are the Lightbearers and have been for years. They're the ones who can show the rest of the earth light in a dark place. That's what you've been doing for years, and it's been an uphill battle.

It's an overused metaphor, but one that we continue to use for simplicity. Consider that you have those on the planet who have walked in the dark for thousands of years. It's just darkness. It's not evil or mystical, but simply the absence of light. It's a darkness where humanity doesn't unify, because it is hard to do that if an entire Human race is walking in the dark. It's hard to know what to do when you can't see where you are walking. So you take care of yourself. It's more about survival than anything else - the basics.

In survival, you collect others around you for safety and comfort. You can hear them; you can sense them; you can collect that which is what you would call a group, and you huddle in the dark, metaphorically. This is the metaphor for the planet as you know it. Wars break out because you're in the dark. You can't see the others, so you fear them and prepare to always defend your reality. That's the way it has been for almost all of history. Suddenly, however, there is light.

What happens when there's light in a dark place, even a little? Suddenly, many can see to walk from here to there. Imagine having to walk in the darkness from A to B for centuries, and suddenly there is a light on the path. There is no fear about the unknown when you can see in front of you! You're free to unify, since you can see that the others are just like you! You're free to have ideas. You're free to have knowledge.

This particular message is what I told you it would be. You may call it The Recalibration of Knowledge on the Planet. Unknowing to you, and very slowly, a softening is taking place, moving the energy of the planet more from the masculine to the feminine. That is to say, it is balancing what was unbalanced. North and South are coming together hemispherically, so that there's no longer a macho Northern hemisphere, but rather one which is balanced. It has to happen this way for Africa to do what it's going to do. (predictions ahead)

Look at Africa on the map. You'll know what I'm talking about. Balance must occur and it is occurring. Africa is literally going to be the "New World" within 75 years. What happens when you heal a continent and the basics are then available without the control of disease or dictators? The answer is an amazing beginning of a civilization that has no boundaries and nothing to unlearn but poverty. Watch for it and "stand back."

What happens when the earth starts to soften up and there's more light? Even the terrorists change. I invite you to watch for it, Human Being; I invite you to watch all of it. You can watch some things happen that you didn't expect. When the Soviet Union fell over, how many of you had the answers of why that took place without a civil war? It was because that old energy was no longer supportable by the Humans who lived there. There comes a time in the physics of consciousness where if you do not have a cooperative group of Human Beings who will agree with an old energy precept, it cannot be sustained. What happens when the majority of the world doesn't want war anymore? You are actually seeing this develop. Has anyone told you that you are "overdue" for another world war? In 3D, you are. Within the paradigm of the old energy, you are.

I want you to watch some countries. I don't have a clock [this statement is Kryon telling us that there is no time frame on his side of the veil, only potentials]. I'll just tell you, it's imminent [in Spirit's timing, this could mean as soon as a decade]. I want you to watch some countries carefully for changes. You're going to be seeing changes that are obvious, and some that are not obvious [covert or assumptive]. But the obvious ones you will see sooner than not - Cuba, Korea [North], Iran, of course, and Venezuela. I want you to watch what happens when they start to realize that they don't have any more allies on Earth! Even their brothers who used to support them in their hatred of some are saying, "Well, perhaps not anymore. It doesn't seem to be supporting us anymore." Watch the synchronicities that are occurring. The leaders who have either died or are going to in the next year or so will take with them the old ways. Watch what happens to those who take their place, and remember these meetings where I described these potentials to you.
The Old Energy is Alive, But Not Happy

I want to tell you something: Old energy dies kicking and screaming. Old energy does not surrender, ever. Old energy simply dies hard and slow. There will be hold-outs for a long time. There will be those who are convinced that the only way to get what they want is to create drama, war, and fear. They continue to want to spring up in places you felt were safe, and to pull you backwards with them. They hate the fact that the earth is going soft on them, and they continue to rattle their sabers, make threats, and make news doing it. They're not the majority, Human Being, but often they are the loudest. When you walk around in perfect health and you are feeling great except for your sore toe, what do you think about? Your SORE TOE! So then you watch your media talk about sore toes for endless hours, and you get depressed. I know you understand the metaphor.
The Weather... Again

My partner has been "against the grain" in the past years, giving you what I have channelled about the weather. Is it global warming? No. Is it going to get better? No. This is a two-generation cycle. There will continue to be earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and storms. This is a recalibration of life in the ocean, and humanity must go through this in any way they can. This is a cycle, a known and expected one, but since you haven't gone through it in modern times, it's not well understood yet.

I would like to tell you that you have the same intuitive equipment like the animals do, to keep you safe in the right place at the right time. Yet you don't believe it. Oh, you'll use the Parking Angel, but not the Life Angel. The little stuff is easy for you, but the big stuff is a mystery. It's the same process, "Dear Spirit, where should I live? Dear Spirit, where should I go?" Spirit is right there answering, and you perceive it as intuition. But the first thing you do is to say, "Naw. That's me talking. No, I'm waiting for the voice in the sky. Sorry." You still don't understanding that that is how God speaks to individuals - through the little voice that holds your hand and is the first intuitive impression after a question.

Sometimes you get your answer before the question is asked because we know you're asking it. Sometimes we're so anxious to give you the answer, so excited that you would even ask, that it comes even before you ask, way before. This is guidance. That's what to expect. It comes with the territory of a rejuvenation of the planet and this is the year it starts being enhanced. Now, are you going to receive it or throw it away since "you" thought of it?
The Revelations to Come in Physics

Now, let's talk physics because we now can reveal some things, beautiful things, that are starting to occur in science and are starting to be seen and partially understood. What you have before you, the gentleman sitting on the floor, is Yawee. I know him well.

[Kryon is speaking now about Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, M.D., DNA researcher and member of the Kryon team, who sits on the floor in this live session. Dr. Ovokaitys has been identified by Kryon in the past as a great Lemurian scientist and keeper of the truths within the Lemurian Temple of Rejuvenation, discussed in 1994 in Kryon Book Two.]

It's interesting, is it not, what the Akashic memory banks bring forward within a Human? Your Akash is soul memory designed to release information about your Akash as the energy of the earth changes to a measurement where it's appropriate to begin a process of revelation. Nikola Tesla created massless objects in his laboratory - what you would call anti-gravity. He knew how to transmit electricity wirelessly (by the way, through the ground, not the air), through the earth (not the atmosphere), and he was frustrated he could not prove it better. The technology was not there, but more than that, the energy of the planet, consciously, was not ready for him. He could not get past the barrier of the belief of others. By the way, he's back and so is Einstein and you'll know them when you see what they're up to.

The energy of your time is now appropriately ready for some of the theories that were before their time, which were just as accurate then as they are now. Watch for entirely new science to suddenly erupt with solutions for problems that you have been working on for years, solutions where you say, "Why didn't they think of that before?"

Expect cold fusion, by the way. I've told you this before. The experiment with cold fusion was accurate [speaking of the much-discounted Ponds and Fleshman experiment in the past]. The experimenters could not repeat their discovery because they were not aware of the attribute of magnetics that was influencing their experiment [which was done in a basement with the electric utility panels around them]. They thought it was simple chemistry. It wasn't. It was an accidental discovery of physics that remains a mystery at the moment, but that combines chemistry with magnetics, which few are trying. The same thing happened to Tesla, where he was actually able to observe an object fly off the bench, but really didn't know why. He knew it had to do with the design of magnetics, but couldn't begin to do the design with the tools and technology of the day. Can you imagine such a thing? Now you understand his depression. Such is the way advancement often happens on the planet.
A Conversation with Yawee [The Name for Dr. Todd]

Todd is here and in this new energy his Lemurian Akash is starting to reveal what he knows. The energy moves forward and releases engrams into his consciousness. He doesn't get everything all at once, none of you do. The vision that he had started his quest, [speaking of his DNA vision years ago], but he is now remembering items that are being released to him little by little.

My messages to Yawee about his profound pineal tonings did not come from the ethers. He already knew it. But let us say, he needed a prodding so that he would match the clock of 2012. [Laughter] And it had worked and he will be ready on time. But he knew this information already. He already had the inkling and perception of the tones put together, because he knows about the cycle of physics that nobody talks about... and so we will today.
The Temple of Rejuvenation

As Yawee, Todd ran something called the Temple of Rejuvenation in Lemuria. There were attempts to recreate it in Atlantis much, much later, but that didn't work because Yawee wasn't there. Yawee had an attribute that the Lemurians knew was unusual, and that was that he lived three times the lifetime span that they did. So he had within him some secrets about energy, and specifically DNA. In the Temple of Rejuvenation, he had discovered something that is in the works of being discovered right now. I don't have a clock. How soon? You'll see.

So I address Yawee now in order to continue the teaching: Good morning, Yawee. [Note that the time of day is irrelevant, seeing as how this meeting was approaching 5 p.m. Many never noticed this. It's Kryon humor.]

Todd: Good day, Magnetic Master.

We've spoken before. We've done it like this and we've done it in private. You're not being put on the spot, for we always give these discussions in appropriate love, just in order to perhaps press issues that are already there, so they match your clock [again, speaking of the 3D time we have]. What do you remember about the Temple of Rejuvenation that comes to you in certain aspects? Do you remember what the energies were there?

Todd: There was the use of the intrinsic magnetic core of the earth that was especially concentrated in certain areas and was further augmented by altitude.

You remember, dear ones listening to this and reading this, that the Temple of Rejuvenation rested on the top of Lemuria's mountain. Lemuria is the highest mountain on the planet. To this day, it remains the highest mountain, but today it is submerged. It is called Hawaii. The Islands of Hawaii are only the mountaintops of one giant mountain. Measured from the bottom to the top, it is the largest on the planet. There is snow at the top, even now. Can you imagine it 20,000 feet higher? Can you imagine what it looked like observable from space? This is the one that the Pleiadians chose to come to first. Obvious, it was.

Yawee, you might remember, you were always cold. Always cold. For you couldn't have a heater in the temple because then it didn't work! When you saw that which is being done in science today on the screen that my partner brought [a video that Lee showed earlier on macro-entanglement], did you see anything interesting that you might remember?

We speak of temperature. We speak of cold that is so cold that it actually creates less resistance to the flow of energy. This is actually the catalyst for increasing that which is magnetic by 10, 100 times, even 1,000-fold depending on the temperature. Without technical machinery, it was one of the attributes that allowed you to do what you did in that temple.

I want to ask you this. How much do you remember about the physical apparatus that was necessary for this? I ask you these things only of interest to see what your Akash is up to. We have said there was something called the target Human.

Todd: In this moment, the key attribute is a magnetic driver with a particular geometry both above and below the so-called target Human. So there was both magnetics - there was the no-zone point that creates the entanglement and there was the importance of a counter rotation and counter spin.

Very good. Impressive. Now, the big question. So the Human is entangled, is it? With what is the Human quantumly entangled with? Do you remember? Let me ask you this. How many Humans are in the room?

Todd: About 10.

Indeed. And is there a special one?

Todd: The template Human.

Correct! Ah, indeed. Do you remember any other attribute about the template Human that would be noticeable if you saw them? You're not there yet. And that is what we're going to jog in your memory today, if it's all right with you.

Todd: Sure.

I'll get back to you Yawee, but for now I have to go through a process for all of you to understand what is happening. In the process, there is revelation. I now take you to basic atomic structure. I've done this before, but I've never taken you to this stage. I want you to look at an electron with me, as though you are there and as small as it is. Now go slowly, my partner, for you've had no training in this and it's important that you get the message as presented and don't enhance it [Kryon speaking to Lee].

Physicists say that electrons spin. They don't, and they can't. There's no surface on an electron, since they are energy. They don't spin, but instead have an electronic potential. Every single particle on this planet, everything you can see, all things in this Universe, are created with polarity. This is new information now. All things are created with polarity, and they're designed to be self-balancing. And because of the polarity of what you would call plus and minus, they move and try to balance themselves within a field - all things, both physical and other.

However, all polarities are prone to be biased by what I will call peer pressure. Electrons that carry (or spin with a polarity) of what you would call a certain kind of charge - we'll call it positive - are drawn to those that are negative so that they will null themselves out. They seek each other out to create the null of balance. They seek to be balanced, and if they are not, they are not happy. I use this word only to emphasize the condition of a particle of physics that does not find its balance. Even the unscientific can appreciate this.

But even with atoms, there are not always matched pairs of electrons, since there is no atomic rule that says that electrons will always be created in even numbers. So there will often be what I will call the odd one out and when that happens, the entire atom will then be charged positively or negatively, depending upon the odd one out. When this happens, this atom will seek out another atom, which has an odd one out of an opposite charge. That has a name: Magnetism. I've just explained magnetism. Now, science knows part of that already. What they have not realized yet, however, is that all things have a duality. They suspect it and there are theories that will show it soon enough, and I've given it to you today because it always has existed in someone's mind.

So from the very smallest to the very biggest, even the galaxy has duality. At the center of your galaxy, what you call the black hole, is a quantum push/pull engine, and I'm going to tell you in a minute why it's that way.

Here is a big question, and I will answer it right now. Why does everything have a polarity? Why would it be created this way, even down to the electron? The smallest thing, even to what you call the Higgs Bosen [God Particle] and the quarks, they all have polarity. There isn't a piece of nature that you're going to find that doesn't have polarity. Why? I will tell you why: Physicists will laugh. Not in ridicule, but in agreement. If it were not this way, the Universe would be a dull, boring place to be. Because, by creating a duality in every single particle, you create an active Universe that is self-balancing and is never at rest. If it were not this way, it would be static, unchanging, and non-creative. Therefore, without polarity, there would be no life. Life is created by having a duality, a polarity in atomic particles. Life is that which is necessary for the Universe to exist. There's no reason for physics without life - and you thought it was the other way around, didn't you? Life was an accident on one planet. Oh, how 3D of you! Life is the DESIGN.

Let's continue the discussion, for it's going someplace. Yawee, you just described the process of creating macro-entanglement in the Temple. What you described was magnetics and null points. Very good! Do you perhaps understand that magnetics and null points are even at the center of your galaxy?

Todd: Of course.

So that means the galaxy is an entangled state with itself. This now explains why all the constellations and solar systems are not following Newtonian movement. Instead, they all move together as one around the center, because they are entangled. I've just given the reason for it, and science will start to understand that soon. It has been a mystery so far, but now you know.

So you have macro-entanglement. The largest thing you can imagine, the galaxy, is entangled with itself. Is it possible there are other entanglement issues that you don't see or recognize or know about in every single day of life? And the answer's yes. So here we go.

Oh, dear Human Being, what I'm going to give you next is beautiful, and it has to do with DNA and Yawee knew it. He knew how to do something magical.

The blueprint for DNA is perfect. The good doctor will tell you that in his current incarnation [as Todd]. I've told you that before. It's perfect inside you, yet you sit here with DNA that doesn't work well. It seems to be a dichotomy, since it is perfect and designed for extended life, yet it does some things that are counter-intuitive to that.

DNA is designed as an informational source to receive the energy of that which is around it, created by the consciousness of humanity. It then postures itself in an appropriate reaction to the energy it is in. In other words, if the planet has low energy, it will, too. It's a quantum engine, and if the quantum energy created by Human consciousness is low, it works poorly.

I want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that? It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!" Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.

A child with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice, and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity [duality], free choice.

But let's discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath. The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained. Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.

The quantum instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,, getting ready for the first breath. Now, I reveal to you, Todd, Yawee, what you already know.
Explanation of the Temple of Rejuvenation

The Temple of Rejuvenation has two Human Beings quantumly entangled. One is the target. The other one is the "template." Life extension, through the knowledge of DNA that Yawee had, was to entangle the target with the template and transfer certain attributes from the one to the other.

The only way this could ever work is if DNA had a quantum attribute, and it does. All our teaching for more than 10 years has told you that the 90 percent of DNA that is non-encoded and considered "junk" is a quantum instruction set. Therefore, the DNA molecule must have some quantum attributes yet to be discovered, but that are very real and have to do with instructions to the chemistry of more than three billion parts of the DNA molecule. This is especially true to the gene-producing chemistry of the protein-encoded parts. For simplicity, I tell you that DNA is actively dynamic and can change the reality of everything you think of as "normal."

Yawee, you explained very well the attributes of the target creating an entangled state with the template Human. Now we reveal that the template was (1) a woman (2) who is pregnant. You have...

Todd interrupting: ... the source of the perfect DNA template!

That is correct! So the secret of the Temple of Rejuvenation is twofold: (1) DNA is perfect on Earth within an unborn child and you can transfer some of the attributes of that perfection before it assimilates the energy of the planet. (2) You can extend life and healing through a quantum communication with the DNA molecule. Do you see the implications? The wise, divine feminine who is with child is the only one who could be on the template table. Are you starting to understand the beauty of this, the implications of this and where it's going?

There are several things that are going to happen in mainstream science. First, you're going to find some secrets of DNA and they're going to be embryonic. Start watching scientists discover the embryonic cells and the magic within them. You already know that unusual stem cells exist in the placenta. You also know that the pre-programmed adult stem cells are still there in the body. But what about the DNA of the unborn? (Intellectuals, please keep reading, for to stop now will create unrest.) Second, your work today Yawee, will represent "the perfect template" without using what you did in Lemuria. That's why you're the Human who will do this. It's an extension of why you came here, and is perfect for 2012 and beyond.

These embryonic cells of the unborn are untouchable by society, and they might as well be on Mars, for no science is going to try to use these cells in a 3D manner, which is all you know how to do at this point. If they try, it won't work anyway. There are quantum processes you are learning about that are not only non-invasive, but actually helpful and that can transfer attributes from one biological cell to another and from one Human to another. Think "wireless" [Kryon human again]. What you thought would take wires over 1,000 miles long is now done with satellites. It's an analogy that shows you that you are moving into totally new understandings of the transfer of energy. Let's discuss the mother in that temple for a moment.

The woman on the table back then, who is the "template," won the "Lemurian lottery"[Kryon being funny], for she knows that her baby, being entangled with another Human no matter how old or how sick, creates an enhancement of who that baby will be. This is complicated, but the process of helping the other will be etched into the baby's Akash, and the child will be born with an attribute of the healer. There is complexity and controversy and over-intellectual thinking in all this, for your 3D brains will race to find things wrong with this. All I can tell you is that a quantum system is not a linear one, and your logic will fall on the floor if you try to analyze these things. Can you imagine time in a circle? Can you see being in two places at the same time, or even of changing your molecular structure at will to be part of another object? If you can't do that, then you are not allowed to comment reasonably. For all those things are part of quantum possibilities of DNA. If you don't believe me, ask a Pleiadian [more cryptic Kryon humor].

Now Yawee, are you understanding what you were doing back then? Do you need any more answers?

Todd: Well, I could say, do I? Yes!

[Laughter]

Yawee, what is it that you dream about? What is it that you dream about that you don't know and want to?

Todd: I dream about recalibration of the DNA and the coherent alignment that allows us to move freely, I guess, as the Pleiadians do in a quantum state from one place to another.

Of course you would ask that, since you see a much larger picture based on what your Akash has seen and remembers. You also know it's possible.

Meanwhile, all those in here are asking the same thing about what they just heard: "Where can we find a pregnant woman and do this now?"

[Laughter]

It's way beyond that, and the Pleiadians knew it. All this information originally came from them and passed to you, Yawee. It was for then, not now. The Pleiadians don't need a pregnant woman in order for them to do what they do today. They have DNA, too, but it's in a fully developed quantum state - a state that is the potential for the Human race.

I would remind you that my partner has given you messages in the past about the attitude of physics. Now we are right back to the polarity discussion that started this channelling. This "attitude," Yawee, is imbued into the natural invention that you have discovered. Physics is active and seeks balance. That is to say that every field you have created with your process has the attributes - are you ready? - of perfect DNA. It already sees the attributes of the blueprint of the unborn. You don't need a pregnant woman. The attributes can be passed to the Human and received by that Human in whatever posture that his cellular structure is able to absorb.

What you have done in your work is to create a quantum field with those Pleiadian attributes, and the cells listen when they are exposed to them. It's not finely tuned yet, but you will discover how eventually. When you do, you will have the regeneration engine of the future, without a "template Human," but instead with the attributes of the template Human.

This process and others will be seen by science also. You won't be alone. It is not appropriate that you would have the secret of life exclusively, so there will be others. Embryonic studies with animals are going to start to reveal that which gives the ability to grow back limbs for Humans, and many of the other things we have talked about for 23 years. It begs still a greater question: "What is the true role of animals on the planet? Do they reincarnate?" This is for another time.

Look for these kinds of things to happen soon, and also the use of adult stem cells in a bigger way. And there it is, all laid out in front of you. All of this has been waiting for 2012.

Yawee, one of your attributes is that you live with the Pleiadians. You are still in an entangled state with them, which is not in 3D. They want to hear the tones again as they did 26,000 years ago. They're ready. And when that signal is sent, it will say "humanity has arrived and is going to stay" [speaking of Todd's Lemurian Choir Project for the solstice of 2012].

And that is the message for the day. Some will say, "Too much science, Kryon!" Others will say, "Indeed, the beauty of the system of the Creator is at hand." Dear ones, don't be turned away with the particulars of the science. You don't have to know and understand it, but we ask you to celebrate it. For God the creator is the master physicist of the Universe and has used these tools to create the system of life and the balance of love. All of this is going to enhance Human life and Human understanding.

Again, I will tell you that the distance between the nucleus and the electron of every single atom is filled with the love of God. That's the soup of the Creator, built for life and ready to take your hand if you want it to. It is the recalibration of knowledge on the planet and the first step into a quantum paradigm. Get ready for it.

I have no clock. I can't tell you when. I can only tell you that it is at hand and it was not when we started with you all those years ago. We passed the marker together and now the work begins.

And so it is.

Greetings dear ones, for I AM Kryon of Magnetic Service.

It’s wonderful for us in the spirit world to be back in Lithuania on this cold winter’s evening.

Dear ones, a new world is coming and the universe is moving into order; the planets, the stars and the solar system are moving to create new beginnings on this earth, completely changing the energies of the earth plane.

This will be a process, dear ones, this will be a process of learning, for those in power—not all of those in power—will have to let go of much of their power and much of their wealth. The energies of this planet and this world are changing, and for 15 years now, David has channeled the same message. You will stop creating through negative energies and create a new world out of pure love and there will be two shifts of energy.

The first shift in consciousness is from this third dimension to the fourth dimension, and the second shift is from the fourth to the fifth. Not only will human beings shift through this consciousness, but so will the earth plane, she will also ascend. You’re headed towards a completely new world, a beautiful, beautiful world of peace, love and harmony. There will be absolutely no room for war; there will be deep and intrinsic connections between human beings.

You are all healing and your world is changing. For those of you that are healers it is for you to claim your power; this is being supported by many different energies, and Kryon is the energy that is the umbrella for all these energies. Energies and entities of great wisdom, love and understanding are here to hold you in a space—not just for tonight, but forever—into a completely new world, a world of pure love.

There are seven billion on this planet, and there are so many people to be present with this ascension. In spirit world there are queues and queues of spirits waiting to come to this earth to be present as the earth plane evolves and moves to a new dimension, taking all populations with her to this new dimension. And this is happening now and your consciousness will be very different by the twenty-first of the twelfth, 2012. You will look back at this old world, and look over your shoulder, and you will see a crazy world that you are leaving behind, a world where everything is upside down, where nothing is the truth, and you will be moving into a new world of pure love and pure truth.

The new world will be a world led by the conscious; the old world is the world ruled by the unconscious. Your bankers, the hierarchy of this planet, and the monetary system, it’s already beginning to fail, this system will totally fail. And all the different hierarchies that are holding this system together will begin to collapse. You’re headed into a new world where you are whole and where you are complete, and where you are connected to the divine, both the Divine Father and the Divine Mother, and you will be free, free to live your life as you please, and allowing the love to constantly flow.

Just like the sun constantly shines in the solar system, your solar plexus will begin to glow, and your heart will begin to expand, connecting you to the heart of the solar system, and also allowing your mind to connect to the universal mind. Those who have done their inner work will be on the first wave into these new levels of consciousness, and you are all being deeply, deeply held and guided into this new consciousness; you made it here tonight and it was exactly the way that is meant to be. Your cells and your DNA are being activated, your hearts connected to the universal heart, and your mind connected to the universal mind. You’re also connecting to each other, for you are all one. The love will always, always, always flow. We say to treasure your bodies, feed them and exercise them well, and they will uphold you and support you in this transition.

You have all learned and understood this night what it is to be Christ conscious, when the wounded or the hurt aspects of yourself come together and become one and all the issues in your family constellation are released; that is when you become Christ conscious, that is when you are the king of your own life and when you’re walking that magical path between heaven and earth and the love is constantly flowing through you. You’ve recognized the lies and the dishonesty of the old earth and you are free from the dark side and the love flows through you and you emanate love for all to share. You are connected to all of mankind, and you will begin to lift the vibration of this planet and of those who live on the planet.

So just allow your hearts to open even more than they already are, and allow your heart to expand; just let it fill with love. Let it fill with love, just like the first time you ever fell in love, like you never feared getting your heart hurt, and just allowing your heart to expand more and more, expanding into the person who sat next to you and expanding to fill up the room, just filling more and more with love, it safe to allow your heart to open this night. Nothing can happen to your heart with your eyes closed here in a meditation, only good things can happen. Just be with your heart, and place all your consciousness and all your awareness in your heart.

Allow the TV screen in your mind to play back through your life, see all the loves that you’ve won and lost. And just be with your heart, dear ones, your spirit guides are at your feet, they’re here to hold you and to love and to guide you. They’re here to see what you can’t see, like a periscope on a submarine, with a telescope you can see across the ocean and your spirit guides can see your journey ahead of you. So just allow all those feelings to come and let them go and allow your spirit guides to take you wherever you need to go, observing your breath and relaxing, going deeper and deeper and deeper. Be with the love that’s in your heart and share this love with everybody in the room, sending your love to everybody in this room this night, and receiving the love from everybody in the room. This is how the new world will be: no competition, just love, loving each other, accepting each other, being with each other.

Allow the energies of the room to expand, and allow your energies to go higher and higher and higher, and feel Mother Earth beneath your feet, holding you, loving you, caressing you. Let whatever feelings are in your body, let them come and let them go, and have the intention to hold each other, to love each other, and to go to this new dimension, in the fourth dimension. You will not understand this dimension; you have to wait until your mind is sane and is upgraded to a fourth dimensional mind, but just feel all these energies in your body and feel how the love flows, how the love cancels out the negativity.

As we said in the beginning that the Kryon energy is the umbrella of many, many energies, and Lithuania has been a conscious country in years gone by and it has a language filled with consciousness and filled with love. Your ancestors are here this night, this very night your pagan ancestors that lived within nature, that lived with the land and the spirits of the trees, and the many different spirits; for these people this was true, and they present you with these gifts this night, reconnecting you to these ancient spirits, to this ancient world.

Allow these connections to flow and feel these energies. Your ancient brothers and sisters, they spread this beautiful consciousness around the world, become like a sponge, soaking up the consciousness of your ancestors and your ancestors’ love; they will be taking you on a journey, a journey home, a journey to the very truth of who you are.

Consciousness moves through Lithuania into the Americas, into Asia, and throughout the world, teaching the ancient cultures how to love, how to live with the earth; consciousness passed this way many thousands of yours ago, and this consciousness will come back, and you will receive this consciousness once again, emptying your body of old negativities and the love that’s already there will be energized and expanded.

Lithuania is old ancient people, and they are very close to those of Native American peoples, to the Toltecs of the south and southern Mexico, and the Mayan and the Incas, to the great shaman of the Russian lands. All these peoples knew how to live and love upon this earth. They knew how to keep their hearts open and stay connected to Mother Earth and to Father Sky. Allow these energies of the Native Americans to support this process this very night, and just feel this energy come to you and come to the room, for this is an energy of love and of power they forsake their land for the white man to have this experience of separation so we would never walk down this path ever again. Once you move into the fourth dimension you are constantly connected, fully connected to the divine.

The Native Americans may have a special message for each one of you this night, allow yourself to listen, to hear what they have to say to you. Open your inner ears and let them speak; allow the vibrations of your body to rise higher and higher.

And now we bring you the spirit of the Toltecs, and feel this energy, this new energy, ancient but new for you this night, and allow it to awaken your cells and your DNA, and allow it to connect you to the spirits, the animal spirits, to the spirits of the plants, to the spirits of the great pine forests. Many of you have lived these lives with the Native Americans to the Toltecs.

And now let us bring you the spirits of the Mayan, who had great and ancient knowledge, who knew this time was coming. Everyone, without fail, in this room had a lifetime with the Mayan, and let them bring you the knowledge of these end times. Let them bring you the love and the forgiveness and a deep connection to Father Sky, and let them bring to you their deep understanding of the universe and its cycles.

There are many, many aspects of yourselves being reawakened this night; many, many changes are coming, and you will be deeply connected to the Earth, to the Universe and to each other. And just feel the love, and let the love come higher and higher and higher, and just take the time to feel your bodies, allowing your vibration to go higher and higher and higher, feeling Mother Earth beneath you and her energies ascending, taking you to the fourth dimension. Allow the love to come, the love to flow, for very shortly, dear ones, there will be an onset of love flowing through your bodies, and you will merge and flow together just like these two rivers here in Kaunas, constantly flowing, constantly merging.

You’re here on a very powerful confluence where the masculine and the feminine will merge, and just allow the spirits of these two rivers to teach you how to flow and how to merge. That is why we’re here in Kaunas, this night, to allow the masculine and the feminine to flow and to merge, allowing the new world to flow into your hearts; in the new world, the masculine and the feminine flow together.

Feel your energies going higher and higher. Allow your energies to go higher and higher and higher, and feel the connection to Mother Earth and to Father Sky; this is what it will feel like in less than a year from now. On the twenty-first of the twelfth 2012 the end of one cycle, or many cycles, and the beginning of new cycles. You will enter the dimension that is very different from this one, and eventually you will ascend to this new consciousness, an even higher consciousness.

The fourth dimension of Christ consciousness will only allow you to create from love. There will be no ruling and no controlling, just a flow of love, and you will constantly and always be connected to Father Sky and to Mother Earth. We’re going to allow you to sit in this energy for a few more minutes, to let your body be used to this energy. Your cells and your DNA are activating to a new level of consciousness, but you will bring love first of all to your own human body. Illness and consciousness will become a thing of the past and you will begin to live the life of your dreams.

You’re now in a fourth dimensional vibration with a three dimensional mind. Slowly allow this vibration into your mind, upgrading your mind to a fourth dimensional mind, allowing this energy of love to connect what is disconnected. Let the feelings come and let the feelings go. You’re feeling the energies of these ancient cultures, but all these cultures that we mentioned earlier, they all ascended to Christ consciousness and they’re bringing to you their gifts, their energies and their ways. They’re awakening your inner knowledge so that you will easily find your way. You are all being reconnected to the universe so that you can go into your world and heal yourself and heal all those that surround you.

Be with this new vibration… let your body feel what it feels like… and observe what you observe… let the feelings come, let the feelings go, allowing yourselves and your DNA to activate to this new vibration and moving you into a new vibration of love. The new world is coming, dear ones, and just know that this is what it feels like.

Go well, and God bless, for this Kryon signing out. Thank you all.

Way back, when I was still living in Mt. Shasta, I had a powerful dream that has never left me. The dream was so surreal . . . and familiar . . . and odd that I never thought to share it until now. Let's face it. It is hard for us visionaries out in the world. We are either labeled psychos or geniuses. But at the risk of either title, it has come time to share this dream now, because I am seeing clues in our world that this dream was not some random strange dream; but a prophetic one.

I awoke in the dream right in the middle of the grand shift of the ages. It was a bit chaotic, but also there was a weird and familiar order about it all. It felt a bit frantic, but also the air was permeated by a great excitement as well. The atmosphere had a purple tint to it that was breathtaking. There was a huge light beam coming out of the tip of Mt. Shasta.

I stopped and looked around to take it all in, and what I saw was amazing. Everyone was scrambling around in somewhat of an orderly way. I saw many of my friends going here and there. They knew exactly where to go and what to do even though we had never planned this, or had done this before.

I saw light ships . . . everywhere! I will not call them UFO's, because they were identified. Everyone thought this was quite normal as well. I saw a few Sasquatch looking beings walking around, but they were not wild beasts; but intelligent beings. Even odder is that they did not seem out of place either. There were many other animals that had long been extinct as well as new ones that we know nothing about; like small dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, and odd birds in the sky.

There were also strange sounds or tones in the air coming from everywhere. Some people were called to these sounds. Each person matched the outer tones with their heart tones. The air ships were glowing with different colors and other people were drawn to these ships by their inner heart color. There were other people yet gathering in different buildings that had huge stones or crystals that they circled around. Each person acted as if there had been a dress rehearsal. Even though there was a bit of chaos, there was a beautiful order about it all.

I could see the dimensions blending together; the past with the present and the future. Anything that had been lost in other times or places was returning to the center point where we all were. I thought to myself, as I watched this spectacle of controlled pandemonium, "Could it be that anything that was lost in the past could be re-born in this new age?"; Lost loved ones, lost health and youth, lost abundance, even lost species, etc…. It was appearing that this was possible, and maybe this is why great losses have always felt so unnatural or surreal to us. Maybe loss, lack and limitation IS unnatural to us.

I share this with you, because now I am seeing tiny clues appearing that this dream may have been about our future. Find the clues yourself . . . Google it . . . Strange sounds in the air . . . Dinosaur, Sasquatch and Mammoth sightings; light beams coming out of Mt. Bachelor, Chichen Itza and the Bosnian pyramid of the sun. If these things are faked, it does not matter, because it means that others are displaying an unconscious reaction to a prophecy that lays latent deep inside, or why would they concoct it in the first place? BUT . . . If these clues are real, then the manifestation of the dream's prophecy is closer then we can imagine.

Then, this morning, the Star Elders shared this with me . . .

Once an egg as has cracked, it cannot be returned to its original form. It is at this point that the egg is forever transformed and destined to become scrambled eggs. Once the light of truth has made itself know to the unconsciousness, the old collective mind set can never return to its original form no matter how hard it tries to do so. It is forever altered by that light.

The light is the crack in the egg. The egg is the barriers between our dimensions, and YOU are the light that is opening the portals for that light to forever change the unconsciousness in this dimension. A dent has been made . . . the portals have been opened. The ripples in the pond are reaching out further than you can imagine. Each little dent, crack, and ripple that you initiate grows . . . Not because you want it to . . . , but because it is the truth, and truth and light adjusts everything. This transformation is now upon your world, and it is growing in a multiplying rate of speed. You can feel this now. So the light is growing in a multiplying rate of speed inside of us as well. You are feeling like you are exploding in an unstoppable brilliant star. You all are lightening up the entire universe. Now it is only a matter of time before all that was lost will return.

Our bodies are giving us clues as well. As these dimensions merge back into ONE, like a stack of pancakes, we will start feeling differently, and sometime the symptoms are uncomfortable.

When you sit and meditate, you may look like an exploding star! Some people say that they feel waves of being hung-over after these internal light explosions. We are seeing a lot of third eye headaches, migraines, neck and backaches, tiredness vacillating with too much energy. We feel flustered and agitated with tiredness which makes us feel overwhelmed (a symptom of heightening frequencies and magnetic storms due to solar flares). We feel like human Yo-Yo's. We can't sleep as well as we have in the past, and we have weird and sort of detached, nightmarish dreams along with waking up with panic. We are forgetful and feel, lazy, foggy-headed and hung over (more symptoms of dropping magnetics and magnetic storms due to solar flares). Other symptoms are bloating and digestion issues, lung issues like pneumonia and asthma, and even early menopause symptoms (a reaction that our 3D body is adjusting to the heightening frequencies). These energy rushes are so powerful that it takes our breath away.

Life may feel empty for a time, but this will change soon. We might also feel a deep unexplained feeling of loneliness. Out of balance relationships are becoming more exhausting (So what are you going to do about this?). All relationships are shifting, changing and evolving as long as we go with the flow. We still feel a bit restless and still look for new horizons or places to move to, although we seem to be more content now than we were in 2011.

Get help with your symptoms . . .

Some of the things that can help with these symptoms are massages, get more rest, hot baths and steams. In this HUGE energy acceleration, we need to rest to integrate it. Meditate and get your body emotionally clear. Detox your mind, your heart and your body. Pay attentions to these emotional and physical clues as they are all important. Know that what you are experiencing is evidence of this shifting. Watch it, and know that it will all pass if you don't attach to it. Stay in the flow, and remain un-attached as much as possible. Get out in Nature. Visit a sacred site or place. If we are not clear, we will attract issues to us that will make us more aware of this un-clarity. Stay in your impeccability. Discernment is good in any situation . . . but just following your heart is better; then you don't have to be placed in the position to judge anyone or anything.

For me, in spite of the physical issues, it is getting really FUN! We are really moving now. 2011 was quite a stuck place where we were being re-tooled so to speak. Now life is full on. I feel like since the arrival to 2012, I have arrived finally! I feel at home more than even now.

In the Fall of 2010, I wrote an article entitled “The Nexus Approaches”, regarding the galactic alignment of 2012 and the role the Dark Lords were playing in destabilizing the Earth prior to this powerful alignment. I need to repost this article, in part, as the information, it seems, is still crucial due to some of our most recent current events. In a nutshell lets take a look at a couple of areas…

*the economy is wackier than ever with a slew of global resignations occurring at the highest levels in the banking world, trillions of dollars in fake financial transfers & bonds, and the facts rolling out that the US is actually in way worse economic shape than the Greeks (so why pick on the Greeks?),

*the environment is still under hell and high water as mass animal deaths continue to occur globally (look at this rolling list of animal die-offs in 2012 alone http://watchful-servant.blogspot.com/p/2012-die-offs.html), radiation from Fukushima has far exceeded levels measured at Chernobyl when evacuations were demanded and the Gulf of Mexico’s oil fiasco is far from over, but we seem to be immune to these facts anymore,

*world safety is at a heightened state with war and rumours of more war… I made the mistake of watching a video newscast from Syria where the atrocities I witnessed are, to say the least, heartbreaking, and I could not fully digest that I am still living on a planet where such archaic behaviour is actually accepted. I realized I have had the good fortune to live in an extremely privileged and beautiful world (a protected garden of sorts) that actually exists in the midst of extreme world chaos & turmoil.

I find it necessary to revisit our global decay in light of new information released by two important & respectable lightworkers (Aluna Joy and Barbara Marciniak) whose information is beautifully preparing us for an imminent & extreme shift into the 5th World, as prophesied by all indigenous cultures.

“From that 1987 date until now”, Mr. Barrios says, “we have been in a time when the right arm of the materialistic world is disappearing, slowly but inexorably. We are at the cusp of the era when peace begins, and people live in harmony with Mother Earth. We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition.

“As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth changes. All this, Mr. Barrios says, was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars. It will change, Mr. Barrios observes. Everything will change. He said Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resulting from — and signified by — the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator, and the earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy.” Carlos Barrios, Mayan Datekeeper

26,000 years ago, the galactic center of the Milky Way emitted an enormous energetic wave we have come to call the Nexus. It does this every 26,000 years, as they say, there is nothing new under the sun. This emissions are what have caused the tumultuous transitions from each of our previous world eras. If you are not familiar with these facts, simply research indigenous tribes and their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and soon to be 5th worlds. It is their belief that their have been 5 worlds, each and every preceding world has ended in global upheaval, always heralded by a divine counting system of 5,125 years or so, that is actually keeping a ticktock beat to the 26,000 year galactic alignment. We just so happen to be approaching the 5th of these alignments (hence, the 5th world of peace). This is the grand finale of the play!

What was released all that time ago will soon reach our earth in full strength. The Nexus has its own personal rhythm and does take some time to cross the galaxies and skies. I believe its arrival correlates to the Mayan Long Count End Date of December 2012. Afterall, the center of the Milky Way is where the Maya believe their Creator Hunab Ku resides. Our Creator has sent out an energy impulse, this Supreme Being is blowing us/creation a kiss. Unfortunately, our consciousness resides too far away from our original empowered selves to simply receive that kiss in bliss.

That incoming energy is meant to completely change our world, in other words, to wake us all up to who we are: infinite Gods and Goddesses with incredible abilities and powers. This incoming beam of bluish-white light will alter and restore our DNA from its current state which only uses 3% of its capacities to a renewed state of 100% remembrance. Translated: 97% of what scientist call junk DNA will be reactivated. WoW…a jolt of electricity that courses through our veins, awakening our souls and minds. No one is going to escape this phenomena. Thank you Hunab Ku!

“The human race is headed towards a great change, many spirits will return to the stars and something magnificent is going to happen!” Astral Walker

Ready for the magnificent? Take a peak at Aluna Joy’s recent article

When I originally wrote The Nexus Approaches, we were deeply embedded in a war with the Dark Lords. Things have dramatically shifted since then and I am happy to report the Operation Victory was indeed a success. “Continue on in your fight against those who have oppressed you and who wish to enslave you, and we will continue our fight on our front lines. We will never retreat, and we will never desert you. We will together succeed in this epic struggle, and the forces of Light will prevail against the forces of darkness. So it has been written. And so it shall be.” ~ We are the Galactic Federation of Light.

And, to confirm that I do not live in lala looloo land, take the time to watch Barbara Marciniak’s most recent video, where she clearly gives us a piece of Earth history with these so-called Dark Lords…

The benevolent ET’s, the light ones, are calling us home and their bioluminescent blue-white light is the signal. You can feel this with your heart. I most recently had a PremaBirthing Session (a type of rebirthing where the Ascended Masters welcome you to Earth in a reprogramming of one’s original birth story (trauma)). My heavenly Mother was a very benevolent Lady dressed in royal blue ropes. I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around who it was… Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, The Lady of Guadalupe. What does it matte? Her energy was safe, compassionate and filled with unconditional love.

Let us recall the last sign in the Hopi prophecy which states that a blue planet from the Heavens will crash into Earth causing earth destruction, this last sign is what all elders are awaiting as our entry into the 5th world. Possibly, it is not a planet, but an energy wave: the Nexus?

Lightwalkers, we are going home now. We have felt the Nexus approaching for years, even if we could or could not put words to it. Our Creator desires our remembrance and this collective shift to magnificence is welcome. Stay in your heart, the Dark Lords will lose power, we will live in a world dreamed upon by the visionaries, masters and avatars of our history. It is promised and all is well!

We are closer than ever…Our Nexus Approaches

onward and forward in these most pivotal times,
I send out my blessings,
Navajo
