trails

To the night, music, herald the coming of moonlight rewards. We work in the day, we walk, and we sweat. We die in the light of the sun. They would block the rays and so we sit now and sing on the balcony to the night.

All we have is the setting, sleeping to wake, to rise laughing at this life, moving into dreams, steered by pleasure and crying, living, revolving, resting forever.

That is what the weather means, where we are in this human race, in this so called awakened state. We know what we have been; always together alone. I would like to leave, all of that playing with premonitions and all of that asking permission behind, if I could.

These clouds, o these false clouds.

The Politics Of Silence

By Paul Monette

I said to my friend: ‘Is your sister political?’

And he replied: ‘No, she’s an artist.’

This is not something I can agree to anymore. It is simply not enough to be an artist, unengaged. If you live in political times, if the lightning rod of history quivers with fire on your roof, then all art is political. And all art is that is not consciously so partakes of the messiness of politics, if only to flee it. People still went to the opera in Nazi Germany, people still read books that were pleasant and diverting.

Robin lane Fox, a massively learned historian of religion, says most people believe that the Christian world was a fait accompli, a historical inevitability. But in point of fact, until Constantine converted to Christianity in 313, the western world was a battleground between pagans and Christians. The pagans were an urban, sophisticated class – not unlike us. They had their mysteries, and of course they had their gods, very human gods. So one of the first things the early popes did was systematically destroy the pagan texts, or lock them up in monasteries. Professor Fox was able to reconstruct a semblance of the pagan world by going through ancient cemeteries reading the gravestones.

If you destroy the record, you destroy the truth.

I’ve learned in my adult life that the will to silence the truth is always and everywhere as strong as the truth itself. So it is a necessary fight we will always be in: those of us who struggle to understand our common truths, and those who try to erase them. The first Nazi book burning, I would have you remember, was of a gay and lesbian archive.

If God is in all things and everywhere and if this be true than I am always in the company of love, always surrounded by truth and always walking in the light.

law of attraction, health and choice of experience

by Dr Eric Pearl

One of the biggest guilt trips that has been making the rounds for quite some time relates to the concept of choice.

Hang out at any New Age bookstore or gathering for long enough and inevitably, as soon as the discussion turns to someone's faultering health, some one else will pipe in, generally with a holier-than-thou tone in their voice, and say, "Well I wonder what they did to bring it on themselves." The others will then nod their heads in a practised, all-knowing fashion. We've all seen this. Now this poor person, whoever they are, already has enough going on without a group of NAGs (New Age Gossipers) attempting to make themselves feel superior at this persons expense. "Bob (or Mary or whoever) should simply choose to get well," the converstaion continues. "Just look at what this is doing to their kids." The spiritual One-upmanship is so thick you could cut it with a crystal wand.

If we were able to make our own choices as easily as we were able to select a shirt or a slice of pizza, I'd certainly choose to be happy, healthy, living in a a loving relationship with a partner who fulfilled my every wish and need, and to be prosperous in the career of my choice. And, while I was at it, I'd choose to be incredibly good looking (what the heck!). I know that a lot of people would choose some of the very same things. I also know that if there was a pill that could give this to us, we'd all be at the doctor's office first thing in the morning, standing in line for the prescription.

So why don't we all manifest these things in our lives to the degree we think we'd like? Because the part of us that does the choosing isn't the part of us that many of us would like to think does the choosing. It's not the conscious part of us that decides upon the blue shirt or the peperoni pizza. It's the part of us that sees the big picture, the overview of our lives. It's the part of us that has the understanding that we're going through our lessons here on Earth and that our experiences are to be played out within certain parameters - those that we most likely agreed on prior to incarnating this time around. Do I know this for a fact? No. Does it make sense? Yes.

So maybe Bob (or Mary) can't just order themselves up an instant helping of "good health." Maybe blaming them for that, or for getting sick in the first place, isn't really doing anyone a service. As more and more of us are able to view things from a larger perspective, there will be less pain inflicted on others by those of us who really want to mean well.

residing in this sanctuary that we rightly call the mother: earth

The right time to write is now.

I think of the inhuman implants leached onto organs that might sway my mood, turn it this way or that. Then feeling my eyes slowly close and my guides telling me: we will take care of that, we will take care of that, I sit back and relax.

Back to the channel of creative force I turn, creativity is a feminine thing but you must balance it out with the masculine. Save your procrastination for a hot summer’s day and create I say.

Residues of prescription medication and recreational drugs that tampered with my delicate chemistry are leaving. Reality is crisp after the cleansing, I see that the plants nearby are alive, at night they are breathing slowly, their metabolism is light.

Alcohol is absolutely not on the present list and for weed there is no need.

I think of the extraterrestrial ships that encircle the earth, they hover sometimes on the inner plane, I ask the beings to reveal themselves, depending on whether or not I see each thing as a manifestation of God that is. Water I drink is alive.

I am not insane but loose, ready to shake the foundations and send sparks bouncing off the walls, listening to the streets over and over again.

There shall be no more talk of war, or death, no more words of pain or loss, no suffering.

There shall be dancing on holy ground only. All ground is holy.

Through the meridians of the body energy flows free, there is a quickening of blood through this psychical vessel, this temple.

To be alive, to be aware of this gift, to know this pleasure, to realize this abundance, that is my intention.

They say: we will take care of that, we will take care of that.

Sit back and relax.

invest in pathological extremes that yield remarkable insights?

But we little know until tried how much of the uncontrollable there is in us, urging across glaciers and torrents, and up dangerous heights, let the judgment forbid as it may.

equal dull, unimaginative, and rote

Somehow the establishment always feels phony

in its apparent praise from the insiders

leaving me awkward and lonely

They worship the mainstream

so good at re-enforcing the scaffolding

holding up the so called heroes

of thought and speech

Without any remorse of heartbeat among them:

the crowd of successful students and professionals

out of my tired but fortunate reach

2009 - Initiation into Higher Consciousness

Source: Starchild Global and Celia Fenn

There have been several articles about how 2009 is an "11" year, and in numerology that is probably true, since 2009 added together produces 11. Eleven is the number of Initiation into Higher Consciousness, and we can expect that this process will continue and be accelerated in 2009. Along with that Higher Consciousness will go a new Joy in the Magical and Miraculous aspects of our lives on Earth, as we learn how to express our Mastery in these New Dimensions of Light and Love.

But, the 11 must be added together to produce 2 in true numerology, so in effect we are entering a number 2 year. The key numbers for 2009 will be 2 and 9 and 0. I like to use the archetypal keys of the Tarot to express the wisdom of these numbers as they vibrate in our consciousness. The number zero is the number of the "The Fool" and expresses a new beginning and deep trust as we take a step forward into the unknown and a new cycle, with the knowledge that we will be supported and cared for. The number 2 represents the "High Priestess", the Spiritual expression of the Divine Feminine and the Shekinah Light. I like to see her also as Mary Magdalene, the High Priestess of the Grail and the Mysteries of the Twin Flame that will become increasingly important in the coming year. The number 9 represents the "Hermit" or the Inner Wisdom, and this will indeed be the year when we will come to know our Inner Wisdom as the Light that will guide us forward. So, using this archetypal wisdom system, we can expect that 2009 will represent a new cycle of experience at a Higher Level of Consciousness, where we will come to work with our inner Divine Feminine energy, the Power of the Twin Flame, and the Wisdom of our own inner Mastery or Christ Light.

The frequency of 2009

Manifesting the required scenarios serving to awaken us from our individual and collective hallucination is the very essence of the coming 2009 frequency.

2009 is time for us to ‘grow up’ and take our place at the table of planetary guardianship.

2009 begins with 2 [activity] and ends with 9 [completion and transition], and in between these two numbers it has 00 [activity impulsed from within the void].

9 + 2 adds up to 11 [the possibility for Mastership through integration of opposites – otherwise – extreme active conflict of opposites].

11 = 1 + 1 which adds up to 2 [activity, again]. So, expect the entire year to be so full of activity – individually and collectively - that it becomes literally impossible to ‘think’ or ‘plan’ anything.

The frequency of 2009 may therefore be briefly summed up as follows:

This year is actively, through ongoing vibrational impulses, moving us toward required transformation. The key to this transformation is mastering the seeming conflict of opposites – or integration of opposing forces. Failure to integrate these seemingly opposing forces will for many not mean ‘transformation’ – but instead ‘transitioning’. As a ‘rapid’ makes or breaks a canoeist, this year makes or breaks us individually or collectively.

Some key words for 2009 are:

Activity / Busyness / Vibrational / Completion / Transition / Transformation / End / Relating / Relationships / Integration / Conflict / Peace / Intimacy / Mastering / Rapid

A key recommendation for successfully navigating 2009 is:

To deliberately and consistently install moments of quietness, stillness, and emptiness into our ‘daily now’.

in 2009 ‘Later’ is non-existent.

A simple hobby gives one an outer point of focus while the inner quietly and consistently practices the art of ‘watching the story’ and ‘containing the felt-vibrations’.

In 2009, a hobby that appears outwardly as ‘meaningless to others’ may well be the most profoundly efficient ‘spiritual practice’ available to us.

Dunwich Beach

The water holds truth within it; the rocks hold thoughts of stability. The air itself has a story to tell, I listen as I breathe.

The night is a mistress endowed with precious jewels. Winter is the solitude, to allow the releasing of debts as the year passes in death. Fire burns the wood I no longer need to carry. I am comforted by it's warmth.

The cold is crisp in the darkness but I am lighter, in the spring there shall be new things. Walking by the sea, the waves are whispering. The lighthouse on the cliff is bringing in the stray ships.

Lonely I walk the shore towards the light, if only you were here my love, for this New Year, for this message I would deliver. The fire is far behind me but in my heart it burns bright for you.

The dawn is like a dream, the rising sun over the ocean is a fulfillment. I am shaking myself off and beginning to smile. I am one again, I am complete again.

You are safe.

Allow this thought to grow and become a magnificent tree, so that you might sit under it and be in peace.

when you forgive...you love

For many years I asked and prayed for relief and it has been dark but now there is an emerging clarity. Now I see that I have been getting and receiving all I had asked for, the darkness was a process of releasing, the night was a blessing.

This morning I look towards the dawn and know I have come through it, I now have the strength to relinquish; I am shedding the layers of fear that have built up through the years.

Without the changes within I am useless to the world, without the guidance bringing about the crisis I would have been stuck in self-indulgence. The lesson: when you forgive, you love.

Keep collecting experiences but relax in the higher vibrations once more.

End of an Era

Huge and numerous gas pockets were blown open in the lairs of the animals, precipitating volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the slowly cooling earth. The magnitude of the disturbances caused the axis of the world to shift, bringing the poles to their present position and producing the last of the great Ice Ages.

Lemuria was the first to be affected, losing much of its territory as it began to sink into the Pacific. In Atlantis the area of the Sargasso Sea, off the west coast of Cuba, was the first to go under water. The rest of the continent was broken up into several large islands with many canals, ravines, gulfs, bays and streams. The temperate climate rapidly changed to a more torrid one.

With the upheavals, the initial migrations from Atlantis took place in small numbers to the east and west. The earliest settlements were in the region of the Pyrenees Mountains in France and Spain; then later in Central and South America. The movement of the Lemurians was primarily to South America. The land of Og , along the Pacific coastal area of what later was to be southern Peru, was occupied. This was the beginning of that mysterious tribe of Indians known as the Incas.

From this time on, although material civilization rose to great heights, there was a growing unrest among the Atlantian People. In a land of plenty, strife rather than peace became the rule. The altars came to be used for human sacrifice by those turning away from the original concept of the One God. Sun worship became prevalent. Only the dedicated inner core of the Children of the Law of One remained firm.

Low standards of morality, sex indulgence and perversion became rampant. Poverty and hunger were widespread among the peasantry and working classes. There was a deteriorating of the physical and spiritual bodies, just as there was a wasting away of the mountains and valleys into the sea. In spite of material advancements, inner decay was to bring diversion and finally annihilation to a proud, wicked, and adulterous people.

The second important land change came long after the first, around 28,000 B.C, and resulted in the submergence of many large islands. The Bible gives an account of it in the story of Noah and the Flood.

Lemuria vanished into the Pacific Ocean. Some of its inhabitants fled to the safety lands of lower California, Arizona and New Mexico, where they established the brotherhood of Mu in the land of “Mayra”. For the Atlantians it was the end of an era, and the beginning of a new one unsurpassed in many ways.

Atlantis - Early Stages of Development

The people of Atlantis were to pass through the same stages of development as the other four races in the various lands, although their progress was to be more rapid. Unlike the rest of the world, the Atlantians as a nation were a peaceful people at this time and more readily made use of the laws of nature.

Stone was first utilized in implements to secure food and protect themselves from the animals. At an early period houses of wood, then of stone, circular in shape, were built. First the Atlantians were hunters; then herders and farmers, using tools of stone and wood. Fire and natural gas were among the first discoveries; iron and copper quickly followed. Soon they were fabricating balloons from the hides of elephants and other large animlas and using them for the moving of building materials. Communities and communication slowly came into existance.

The main problem they faced were the enormous carnivorous beasts that roamed the forests of the mountains and the jungles of the valleys. Giant fowls hovered above the earth, feeding upon and devouring whatvere was at hand. Physically inept in comparison, man had one superior weapon of defense: the soul-force, or mind. By exercising the power of will and reason, he was able to survive the brute strength of the animals, whose rule was the Survival of the Fittest.

Still relatively close to God although he had fallen into matter, man during his first thousand years on earth was possessed of a body through which the soul expressed itself much more easily than later was to be the case. Occult powers were commonplace. The third eye or pituitary gland, located near the centre of the forehead, was highly developed. Through this gland functioned the creative psychic abilities of the soul.

Yet man was continually drifting away from his source and submerging more and more into the material world with all it's temporal interests; thus he was eventually to lose - for all practical purposes - this God-given power. These gifts of the spirit would remain submerged until men had again spiritualized themselves in thought and deed. Few were able to do so.

The animal kingdom became an increasing problem, and the constant threat of death made life miserable. A council of wise men of five nations of the world, representing the five races, was called around 52,000 B.C. Representaives of came from the white race in the Caucasus, the Carpathian Mountains of Central Europe, and Persia; from the yellow race in what later became the Gobi desert: the black race in the Sudan and upper West Africa; and the brown race in Lemuria. In the first meeting for united action, ways and means of were planned for combating the creatures overrunning the earth in so many places. Discussions for defense centered around the use of the potent chemical forces in the elements of the earth and air. The decisons made proved to be effective, but they had unexpected and far-reaching consequences during the years ahead.
