In the Midst of Crisis, Universe Sends Us Some Humor

Just received this reassuring note from the Governor of North Carolina. I'm so pleased to know that "experts, including the Coast Guard and U.S. Environment Protection Agency, believe there is only a remote chance that any oil will reach North Carolina shores." North Carolina has even created it's own BP Spill Response page :) with lots of helpful links to the spill response pages of BP and assorted Federal agencies so that I'll have all the up to date, accurate news and information regarding the spill response!! Gosh, I feel so safe and secure now knowing my state government has everything under control.

Following through the link to NC's response page and on to a few federal agency pages left me unsure whether to gag or burst out laughing. What trite dribble!! I'm sitting here wondering whether my eyes/ears/mind have grown especially attuned to blatant falseness, or whether our government officials have just gone way over board in their condescending placation of the public. Especially humorous is the fact that a link on NC's page to "List of Experts" opens to a blank page.

Thank you Universe for sending us humor in the midst of planetary catastrophe. :)

North Carolina's Response to the Gulf Oil Spill

Gov. Perdue on Tuesday joined officials from the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the U.S. Coast Guard to discuss the state’s ongoing preparations in the event oil were to reach North Carolina shores. A briefing in Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh was held for state legislators and another session for local elected officials, local government managers and public safety officials from coastal counties.

Gov. Perdue stressed that experts, including the Coast Guard and U.S. Environment Protection Agency, believe there is only a remote chance that any oil will reach North Carolina shores. If any oil were to reach North Carolina, the state is prepared. North Carolina had a plan in place to deal with an oil spill long before the situation in the Gulf, and that plan is being updated to handle the current situation. Gov. Perdue reminded participants that North Carolina beaches are clean and open for business this summer season.

“I believe North Carolina has the best emergency management team in the country. We have proven over and over we can handle whatever emergency comes our way,” said Perdue. “No matter how small the chance that oil could reach North Carolina, my goal, as always, is for us to be prepared.”

Additionally, the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety has launched a web page dedicated to providing information and useful links regarding the Gulf oil spill. The page is located at the department's home page at www.nccrimecontrol.org (notice how NC's Dept of Crime Control and Public Safety's website is just titled NC Crime Control!???!!!- LK) and can be reached by clicking on the Gulf Oil Spill tab.

Lights Connecting to Usher Out of the Darkness

Throughout my life I've mostly felt very alone. But for a few people over my five decades, few meaning three or four, I've not connected with many who I really felt deeply simpatico with. As a teenager I felt a deep and continuing sadness of "not having a home", despite living in a very nice house with two parents, five sisters, a brother, and many pets. Over the years I've taken comfort in having one close friend until circumstances or death took them away. And then another friend would appear. Still, one person can not be everything to another, and it isn't fair to place a friend in that position anyway. All in all, the sense of core aloneness became something I just carried along quietly inside, and never let it derail me from my course.

How many times have I heard.... You're too sensitive. You're too much of a rebel. You're too emotional. You're too much of a free spirit. You're too idealistic. You're not rational. You don't know what you're talking about. You're out of touch with reality.

Really??? The time that will tell is dawning. Can't you see the first shafts of light shooting up from the horizon?

In the not quite four months since starting this blog, I ventured out more in reading others' blogs as I hadn't done before. Here and there I find a kindred spirit. We are finding each other! Finally, we are finding each other. As we've known deep in our hearts, there are others out there who Know and understand. And steadily we are connecting. We connect based on our shared vision and perception, without knowing one another's age, location, identity, and sometimes even gender. These things don't matter. What matters is sensing the true heart. There is huge comfort in knowing we are not alone, and we are finally connecting.

We, the Light Bearers, are here, dotted all around the planet. Our numbers growing. Our light shining brighter. The connections springing up across the miles and oceans and political boundaries. Connecting into a magnificent web of Light encompassing and embracing, anchoring the Light throughout the planet.

Take Heart. We are at the moment just before the pot starts to boil. The little bubbles formed all around the sides of the pot. Surface shifting and swirling. The watch pot that will most definitely start it's boil in just a split second. Boiling, purifying, clearing out all the impurities that led life on this planet so astray. This is time we came here for. Much work is before us. There will be much sadness and also immense joy and appreciation as we progress through the turbulent storm before dawn. We are so well prepared and ready with our web of Light carrying the vibration of love to usher in life on Earth as it was always meant to be. And in the process we will be recognized for who we truly are.

Serious Toxic Level of VOC's all around Gulf Coast Region

As if we don't all know that the true seriousness of the Gulf oil volcano is being kept from us. In a Coast to Coast interview, Rev. Lindsey Williams shares the some horrifying, yet not surprising, information he received from his sources inside the oil industry. As you may know, Lindsey Williams earlier in his career served as chaplain for Atlantic Richfield (ARCO, now part of BP) in Alaska. He has maintained his close ties to the executives within the oil industry and on occasion shares the information he obtains about the plans of those in control. I've followed him for two years and he's been accurate thus far.

The facts he shares in this interview, which were revealed consistently by more then one source, are:

The conservative, (though not revealed to the public) estimate of BP and government officials is 4 million gallons of oil per day is flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. It could be more. The line is ruptured deep below the wellhead. Oil is leaking through fissures in the rock and leaking out in plumes up to 20 miles away.

The pressure of the oil that well tapped into is 20,000 to 70,000 psi. Normal oil well pressures are around 1200 psi, according the Lindsey. The pressure in this well is at levels beyond which there is technology to contain it. His contacts indicated that they have now idea how to stop the leak given the immense pressure. They are very fearful. They offered that a nuclear detonated explosion may be the only solution to stop the flow, yet admit that a nuclear detonation could also act to open the entire oil deposit up rather than fuse it closed.

This information is being kept from the public, it total disregard to the massive health/death risk to the residents around the Gulf. Last week's EPA readings of air quality in the Gulf coastal communities found enormously toxic levels for the following volatile organic compounds (VOC's) emitted with the flow of oil:

Hydrogen sulfide this week's level 1200/parts per billion (ppb), EPA safe levels are 5-10/ppb

Benzene this week's level 3000/ppb, EPA safe levels are 0-4/ppb

Methylene chloride this week's level 3000 - 3400/ppb, EPA safe levels are 61/ppb

The video of part one of the interview follows bellow or through this Link

Health effects for hydrogen sulfide from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry:

• Hydrogen sulfide is a mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritant; pulmonary edema, which may be immediate or delayed, can occur after exposure to high concentrations.
• Symptoms of acute exposure include nausea, headaches, delirium, disturbed equilibrium, tremors, convulsions, and skin and eye irritation.
• Inhalation of high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide can produce extremely rapid unconsciousness and death. Exposure to the liquified gas can cause frostbite injury.
  

  Acute Exposure

  Hydrogen sulfide's can cause inhibition of the cytochrome oxidase enzyme system resulting in lack of oxygen use in the cells. Anaerobic metabolism causes accumulation of lactic acid leading to an acid-base imbalance. The nervous system and cardiac tissues are particularly vulnerable to the disruption of oxidative metabolism and death is often the result of respiratory arrest. Hydrogen sulfide also irritates skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and the respiratory tract. Pulmonary effects may not be apparent for up to 72 hours after exposure.

  Children do not always respond to chemicals in the same way that adults do. Different protocols for managing their care may be needed.
  
  Health effects for Benzene from the Agency for Toxic substances and Disease Registry:

• Breathing very high levels of benzene can result in death, while high levels can cause drowsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness. Eating or drinking foods containing high levels of benzene can cause vomiting, irritation of the stomach, dizziness, sleepiness, convulsions, rapid heart rate, and death.

• The major effect of benzene from long-term exposure is on the blood. Benzene causes harmful effects on the bone marrow and can cause a decrease in red blood cells leading to anemia. It can also cause excessive bleeding and can affect the immune system, increasing the chance for infection.

  Health effects of Methylene Chloride from the Agency for Toxic substances and Disease Registry

  If you breathe in large amounts of methylene chloride you may feel unsteady, dizzy, and have nausea and a tingling or numbness of your finger and toes. A person breathing smaller amounts of methylene chloride may become less attentive and less accurate in tasks requiring hand-eye coordination. Skin contact with methylene chloride causes burning and redness of the skin.

  The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that methylene chloride may cause cancer in humans.

  The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that methylene chloride can be reasonably anticipated to be a cancer-causing chemical.

  The EPA has determined that methylene chloride is a probable cancer-causing agent in humans.

If what Lindsey Williams said in the interview is even part way accurate, it is perhaps the most despicable act by the government yet. Millions of people are being exposed to extreme levels of these chemicals. Shortly after the oil volcano started there were reports about high levels of the toxic gases, Hydrogen Sulfide and Benzene. There were reports of workers being taken ill and being transported to the hospital. Then reporting on the toxic gases and related illnesses was shut down. Some have questioned why they have not released any info on current air quality testing. Well the EPA posts spill related testing, but it doesn't seem to jibe with health problems that are being reported anecdotally on the web. I doubt its accuracy. What is so tragic is that the public is not being advised about the deadly air quality conditions in the Gulf Coastal area. And how far does this extend inland considering air currents. Lindsey wanted this information out and for people to be warned. Please share this widely.

Another Alert An email received from "BP Insider"at Above Top Secret. As ATS indicates, they are unable to verify the source. Take it for what your internal True/False monitor tells you.

After listening to the interview and reading the BP insider email, I reread the most recent Web Bots report (vol. 0, issue 5) in relation to what Lindsey Williams shared. The info he provided appears to fit exactly the predictions about the effect of the oil volcano leading to diaspora and feeding the revolution. The next Web Bot report is due out June 25th.

I don't know what else to say now. I'm drained. Speechless. Outraged beyond describing. Deeply saddened

Transiting the Chaos with Miracles Around the Corner

The energy that's been pouring in to the planet over the past months is really erratic, volatile, chaotic. It's been like this since just after the New Year. You can see it erupting here and there around the planet; volcanoes, earthquakes, strange sudden shifts in the weather, chaotic financial markets,... Much shaking up going on, both in our individual selves and on the planetary scale. It's part of our transition to the higher, heart level vibration. Big transitions are always turbulent, no matter if they are taking place at the individual level or at the the grand scale of our solar system. When we flow, we can move through the turbulence without being shaken apart.

One way to look at all the chaotic events transpiring in our outer world is to recognize that these are the death throes of our societal structures that operate at the lower three chakra levels, base emotions, survival, and power. What was created out of greed, corruption, and abuse of power is being shaken to pieces, their dastardly secrets now pouring out through the cracks. Blessed are the whistle blowers. I wrap Bradley Manning and Julian Assange in the white light of love and protection. They are heroes. I send gratitude for the courage and risk they have taken in order to bring hidden truths out for the masses to see. Perhaps you wll do the same.

What was created from dark energies are crumbling before our eyes. Let them fall. Let them fall without eliciting any fear, anger, or confusion on your part. The negative emotions only fuel and extend their existence. They also keep us stuck when we need to be fluid and flow with the shifts and turns we encounter through this erratic period. Woven through everything the higher vibrating frequencies of the Heart energy grow and expand daily. There is good all around. Our challenge is to remain true to our hearts and vision of the world we so desperately want, the new world we came to create.

We always have the choice as to how we respond in every given situation. We can consciously choose how we feel. We can choose to remain in a state of joy, gratitude, and appreciation. This does not mean entering a state of denial of all the transgressions of those who've held power. (past tense is in recognition of their demise). We can speak out and say "No More" with firm, yet calm, authority. Just as a parent says to a child who doesn't want to get ready for bed, "No, you need to brush your teeth and get your pajamas on now. It's time for bed." We can stand up with integrity and remain with a sense of joy and deep appreciation in our hearts. This is our joy and appreciation of all that we hold sacred, our vision of the world we came to create. It's the reason we are speaking out now in greater and greater numbers.

There's some really good guidance about staying in joy and appreciation as we progress through the ascension provided by the Hathors who channel through Tom Kenyon. This was forwarded to me recently by a friend and over the past few days I read through all the communications from the Hathors on Tom's site. I can't say that there was any Wow! new information I haven't come across before. However the way the Hathors describe and explain what is happening as we progress through this great transition deepened my understanding in a nice way. Very grounding. They also offer some very concrete tools we can use to assist us in our process. Plus there's that comfort that comes from connecting to old friends, knowing we are not alone no matter what dimension we're connecting to.

Lastly, I'll pass on a message that's come to me three times over the past week. Some wonderous things are about to materialize here for us. First, a close friend who's a very sensitive intuitive, received the message that something wonderfully good and beautiful is about to happen. Then a couple of days later as I was making dinner, I received the message that everything I've wanted was coming to me Now. What was unique ws that at the moment the message came in, I was filled with such joy and warmth. It was simultaneous the the message, rather than a response to it. I was guided to go make my list of all I wanted, which I did. Not that what I've wanted for the planet hasn't been written on my heart since the first moment I came into the planet this lifetime. Shortly afterward, Les Visible of Smoking Mirrors/Petri Dish/Visible Origami, resurfaced after more than a week of silence to say that he'd seen what has arrived, it's amazing, and that it will materialize very soon. And we will have no worries at all from then on.

So remember, what you believe is what happens. I believe in Divine Miracles.

With love & Light to all....

Dark Energies Dissolving in the Light

The light exposes the dark energies and the darkness becomes no more. Bilderberg is being exposed for what it is. It is not a secret anymore. This past weekend's Bilderberg Group meeting at the Dolce Hotel in Sitges, Spain, (Attendees List), just outside Barcelona has been making the MSM. You probably saw the first article in the London Times. Here's a nice Charlie Skelton blog article in the Guardian UK. And another follow-up article by Charlie Skelton with link to photo gallery of participants. And a recent Video of Daniel Estulin educating the EU Parliament about the Bilderberg Club. After so long, it's wonderful to see this exposure transpire so quickly.

Most importantly, real confirmation came forth in a Belgian radio interview with former Nato Secretary General, Willy Claes, a member of Bilderberg He admitted on air that the purpose of the Bilderberg meetings is to set the global agenda for the coming year. He even described the procedures for their meetings and the written report that they are oath bound to implement within their circle of power. (Note - this article on Infowars loses it's strength by devolving into a long angry bashing of the Bilderberg spokespersons who've been trying to counter claims of Bilderbergers' power as lunacy.)

Bilderberg is no longer a secret. These agents of the dark forces, men (and a few women) of power and control, are being exposed to all. Their existence and destructive agenda made known to the world. By their hidden activities coming to light, their power evaporates like mist. When light shines upon the darkness, the darkness ceases to exist.

All that was formed out of greed, corruption, and abuse of power is dissolving quickly now. The heart energy streams in filling in everything. We are taking our planet back to what it was meant to be at it's creation, our Heaven on Earth. All around us the first buds of new systems created with heart energy emerge, new systems that respect, support, and nurture all life here on Earth. Gaia included. Gaia most of all. She is not some lump of rock traveling through the Milky Way. She has a heart and soul. She is our home. And she loves us immeasurably.

You Are part of the Greatest Transition of Human Systems on Earth

I am a systems person. Much of my life has been spent observing and understanding the systems and processes that operate within individuals, families, groups, organizations, countries, and the planet. One could say I'm a scientist of life.

"Our systems are now collapsing." I say this on occasion in conversation with others and find my statement is usually misinterpreted. It's taken as a negative statement, which is not my meaning at all. It's an observation of where we are. It's my awareness that what does not work well is falling away and we are being presented with the opportunity to create anew. To be honest, I'm thrilled that our systems are collapsing. Last night I decided that I need to change the way I'm communicating so that I get across what I really mean.

We are in the midst of a Great Transition. The societal systems that have evolved over time are not serving our needs and well-being, nor the needs and well-being of the planet. People should not have to struggle and toil in unhappiness in order to exist, in order to provide for themselves and their families. Much energy in the form of time, money, the natural environment, and human effort, is spent on destruction, through wars, exploitation of natural resources, covering the earth in concrete, and polluting the air, water, and soil that supports our existence with toxic, man-made chemicals. Our systems for educating ourselves and our children destroy our creativity and separate us from our inner wisdom. Our health care systems creates more disease and injury, and shortens our lives. Our food production systems provide us with foods devoid of the nutrients we need, pollute our soil and our bodies with man-made toxic chemicals, and are grossly ineffective at ensuring that all humans are fed. Our housing systems destroy our natural environment and are ineffective at ensuring that all people have safe and nurturing shelter. Underlying and connecting all of our systems is our economic system. All of our systems are dependent upon this economic system. Our economic system benefits a few at the expense of the many.

When systems are not self-sustaining that start to collapse. They self-destruct.

When systems collapse, new systems evolve to take their place. We are at a key point in the process of transformation. We have the opportunity and the challenge to begin creating new systems that are self-sustaining and support our needs and well-being, and those of our Earth. We can chose to create consciously. Or we can be passive and let whatever evolves, evolve. The first chose is the wiser of the two. And it is the one that we have collectively already made, whether people individually recognize this or not. Much is being done at the individual level, which is where big changes initiate, within the individual.

What I've had the hardest time conveying in anything close to a positive message, relates to one major aspect of this process we are going through, the magnitude of what we have before us. In large part, my poor ability to communicate had more to do with not fully grasping myself what it was I am trying to say about this. But I've got it now and this is it.... Changing from one system, or group of systems, to another is not a simple process. The transition process to a new system becomes more complex the more dependent we are on the existing system. As an example, adjusting to the passing of a loved one is a much bigger process when our daily life is inter-dependent with that person, than when not. It's a question of how integrated our daily functioning is with the old system, meaning all our ways of thinking, understanding, and doing, that determines how complex the process of shifting over to the new will be. And we are all creatures of habit to greater or lesser extent.

Our challenge is to shift from the systems that are beginning to fail over to new systems that are only at step one, or only just a concept at this point, or haven't even been conceptualized yet. It's like we have to move from our current home to a new home that's not built yet. Moving is a disorienting process even when it's a good move for you, as this one is. First is the stress of finding a new place that meets your criteria, then there's the sorting and packing. What to keep, what to give away, what to toss out. While packing, you lose track of what's already been packed, misplace what you just put down, and can't find what you were just holding. (Sound familiar lately?) It gets tight moving around the packed boxes. You can't make dinner because the pots and pans are already packed. There's exhaustion of the move itself, then the unpacking and getting acclimated in your new home and surroundings.

So here we are getting ready to move, And we are all simultaneously going to make this move to new, as yet built, homes. How do we help each other out when everyone else is moving too at the same time? Add to this that we are moving is to a whole new country we are not familiar with. Oh, and that the majority of people haven't realized they are about to move. They're still asking for someone to come over and fix their house even as it caves into the cesspool. Or worse, haven't noticed anything is wrong.

It's going to be a big challenge to move everyone from one set of familiar but dysfunctional systems, all of which are connected through our rapidly failing economic system, over to new systems that we have yet to create. We, the Lightworkers, will need to support people to make the transition mentally, emotionally, and physically. Everyone is already prepared spiritually, whether they are conscious of it or not. When I wrote about it being time to roll up our sleeves, the work is about to begin, this is what I was talking about. This is one Huge challenge just moments before us. We are however, well prepared. The Earth provides us with everything we need for sustenance. We have all the resourcefulness and creativity, all the strength and courage we need to move through this transition, that I do not doubt in the slightest. My heart and every fiber of my being tells me our success is already assured. We are supported by the Divine.

I believe everyone knows intuitively we need to bring our systems into harmony with the systems of the natural world. We are not separate from the natural world, we are a part of it and our survival and ability to flourish depends on our creation of new systems that support and nurture all living things on the planet. The natural world's systems operates by themselves in a mutually supporting, harmonious, balanced way. It is totally self-sustaining. This balanced interdependence of the natural world on Earth is the masterpiece of the Divine Creator. It's magnificent and magical beyond words. Who could conceive of such a grand design, of inter-related systems that functions in harmony from the largest to the smallest detail?

We all came here into this lifetime, at this particular time for this Great Transition. We came here now in order to Co-Create our new world with the Divine Creator. And in this process we will come to know, in all ways, the Divine Beings that we are.

Wading Through Injustice, Cruelty, and Destruction

There's more strong energy coming in lately. After a number of days of not being able to sleep, the past few I've been totally drained. Today I was feeling more and more down as the day went on. Not really a surprise though. My day started like this (please note that I try to say something somewhat productive and encouraging towards the end of this post).....:

Email from Avaaz.org telling me that they'd gotten 200,000 signatures on the petition for full investigation of the Israeli raid and end the blockade. Now they're aiming for 500,000 signatures on the petition. Please sign it if you haven't already.

Link to daily update by the Free Gaza Movement about the hospitalized and unaccounted for activists from the Free Gaza attack. Over the past two days I'd recognized that the number of activists released didn't come close to the 700 reported to be on board. Oh, and israel has not released any of the Palestinian-Israelis who were arrested by the IDF, they are being prosecuted and are still being held in Israeli prisons. Not that the MSM bothered to report on it.

Then this blog article with a number of quotes from Free Gaza activists who've been returned to their countries: Now the Real Dirt about the IDF throwing injured activists overboard during the attack.

Over to the BP spillcam to find that it's been turned off. BP now has a whole list of spillcams on their site, but I couldn't find one that was actually operating. BP says it's going to report tomorrow morning on how much oil they are pumping up now that they have the new cap installed. No report that the cap actually stopped the leak. Missing details, no life feed of the wellhead.... appears like more manipulation and covering up the fact that the oil is still leaking. I'll pray tonight that I'm wrong about this and that the spill has been stopped. Not encouraged at all.

On to news about California about to approve use of Methyl Iodide on strawberries and other fruits and vegetables. It's so toxic that researchers studying it have to wear protective gear and only test very small amounts. And California wants to spray it on crops so it enters the air and water supply, not to mention our food. Here's the petition, please sign it.

Then a friend called to tell me she'd just emailed me a news clip about very strange crop damage occurring in farms around Memphis, TN. The farmers think it's something that fell from the sky, leaving white spots on their plants, regardless of variety. The spots then eat into the plant. Oh, and dead birds too. Chemtrails? Toxic rain from the oil volcano/corexit dispersant like is happening in Florida? Memphis is about 200 miles directly north of Louisiana and the oil spill. Winds are currently from the south. No proof, just a suspicion. I found another possible explanation in a comment posted on Above Top Secret, a May 25th leak of sulfur trioxide from a nearby Lucite chemical plant. My friend's call came while I was puzzling out how I could build the raised garden beds I've designed using the assorted odd sized boards from the deck I took down the other week. Not the best news item when your mind is deep in the garden.

It all felt like too much. Finally, some good news did arrive later this evening. The miter saw that I found on Craig's List for a really good price, desperately needed in order to build my garden beds, is still available :) I'm driving over to see it in the morning. If all goes well, I'll be trimming boards to size by tomorrow afternoon. It will feel really good to be immersed in a project that supports my sustainability. My tomatoes, squash, broccoli, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, Swiss chard, melons, lettuce, spinach, onions, and assorted herbs are growing out of their little pots and longing to stretch their roots out in deep, fertile soil.

If I didn't care, the events around the planet wouldn't weigh so heavily on me, but I do care, deeply. More and more people are waking up to the fact that they also care deeply, at least I truly hope so. Knowing it's all part of this process of transformation, doesn't make it easier to accept injustice, inhumanity, cruelty, and outrageous arrogance. And that is actually the point. They are intensifying the infliction of atrocities until no one can ignore the dark forces any longer, intensifying until the tide of humans rise up and demand No More and claim their individual Sovereignty. It's on days like today that I remind myself that if the web bots are correct in their timing, we have only about nine months until these forces of destruction posing as human beings are brought down to powerlessness. This thought lifts my heart.

Our Ongoing Communication with the Divine Creator

Many people have started becoming aware of the ways the major religions of the world use their church dogma to influence and control people. I pick up a lot of anger expressed by those who are now seeing through the purpose of the religious dogma. It's there in the articles, posts, and comments they write. Feeling and expressing anger only gives the dark forces they're angry at more validity and power. Counterproductive, no?

What I've not seen much of is anyone asking the question "What were the religions seeking to distract the masses from?" If one wants to gain power over people, then separating them from their own true power is necessary. So what have the religions been distracting and separating the people from. The answer points to the source of our true power.

I look to what universally touches our hearts and soul. What lifts up our life force within each and every one of us and fills us with inspiration? It's the sunrise and sunset. Gazing at the night sky full of stars and the moon. Hearing the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and seeing the ocean spread out beyond the horizon. The sounds of the wind rustling through the trees. the birds in song, crickets chirping in the evening, water babbling over the stones of a stream. The smell of flowers in bloom and the earthiness of the forest. Dolphins swimming. A flock of birds flying overhead. A newborn baby. It is the natural world that universally touches, inspires us, fills us with awe and majesty. The natural world that is the creation of the Divine Creator.

When we commune with the natural world we are communing directly with the prime Creator.

Communication with the natural world of the Creator. Wikipedia defines: Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another. Communication processes are sign-mediated interactions between at least two agents which share a repertoire of signs and semiotic rules. Communication is commonly defined as "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs".

Share a repertoire of signs. An interchange of thoughts. And I would add of feelings too.

I read a really interesting post on What They Don"t Tell You last week with a beautiful prayer suggested by Masaru Emoto for the wildlife of Gulf of Mexico. Reading it reminded me about his research documenting that water responds at the molecular level to our emotions. But not just water. Remember the research documenting that plants respond to our touch, our voice, and to music? I'd read somewhere about plants responding to us many years ago. Today I went searching and found a 1997 interview with Cleve Backster, discussing his research findings about how plants respond to us. Really interesting. He found that plants respond immediately to our thoughts. The glossed over version of his research that I probably read in a magazine in a doctor's waiting room never conveyed the depth of plants' responsiveness that he discusses in the interview.

The Truth is that our thoughts and feelings, as well as our expressions and action, affect everything in the natural world around us. Everything responds to what we vibrate, both internally and externally. We communicate continually and are heard and responded to. This process of communication goes on without interruption even though our awareness of it has been deadened and conditioned out of us. I'm still grocking the magnitude of what our continuing communication with the natural world means. It's huge.

We've been conditioned to deny our communication with the natural world. People are labeled as crazy if they believe they can speak with plants, water, or a rock. This goes back to the purpose behind creating the religions. By leading people to believe that God resided in a church or temple, that we learn about the creator through books, and that priests were ordained to interpret God's communications for us, we were separated from our direct communication with the Creator. We were distracted from our true, ongoing communication to the point that we lost the awareness that it was happening, we lost our ability to consciously take part in the conversations.

Now we are waking up and our awareness is expanding. We can work to re-tune our senses and bring our ongoing communications with the natural world of the Creator into our conscious awareness and participation.

There is wonderful series of statements I found recently on the Angel Card site. It takes on even greater meaning when considered from the perspective of our continuing communication with the natural world:

You Are Important.

Your Thoughts Create.

Your Actions Matter.

Your Presence Changes Everything.

Reminders That We Are a Part of Something Beautiful

The challenges we face are now increasing beyond what we have ever known before. They will continue to mount like a great flight of stairs as we walk up the path of Ascension. And as we climb, we can hold songs like this in our hearts, reminders of our Light during the dark moments. We will need the reminders. Reminders that we are a part of something beautiful.






Something Beautiful
By Alexi Murdoch

May the Grace of God be with you always, in your heart
May you know the truth inside you from the start
May you find the strength to know that you are a

Each Voice Makes a Difference

Late last night I had in mind to write this morning about the myriad challenges the oil volcano raises for us. This morning I sit is stunned grief, outrage, and a sense of helplessness at the unprovoked murder of humanitarian activists flying the white flag by Israeli military forces in international waters.

How can I respond in any meaningful and powerful way? I am many miles from the White House and Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. I've emailed the Obama administration with all the politeness I can muster, urging our government to condemn this terrorist attack on civilians transporting humanitarian aide. I've called a relative in Washington, DC, one who has for over 20 years protested for the rights of Palestinians, voicing that I am strongly there beside him in voice and spirit whenever he goes to protest outside the Israeli embassy or the White House. I've posted on Facebook in an effort to call attention away from meaningless Farmville activities and other shallow self preoccupations. Called the UN requesting the US ambassador the the UN vote for condemnation and a full inquiry. Emailed my representatives in Congress requesting condemnation of Israel and elimination of all military funding for Israel in the FY 2011 budget.

I ask myself, "Does voicing my outrage and calling for the end of the real "terrorist" assaults on the people of the world by the dark forces matter? Does it make any difference?"

If I'm to stand by what I know as truth in my heart, that our thoughts, our expressions, our actions make all the difference in the universe, then the answer is Yes. Each person speaking up adds to the collective voice of dissent against all the atrocities inflicted by the dark forces. My voice makes a difference. Your voice makes a difference. Collectively we do have the power to change the world. We are supported by all the Light Forces in the Universe. The people united will never be defeated.

Directing Our Thoughts and Images Forward

I've been watch and listening the past few days. In a space of taking in information, rather than one of expressing. Hence my lack of posting. I trust you understand. Now I have a whole lot to say here....

We need to closely monitor our thoughts and mental images now and in the days ahead. Even within the awakened community, I'm seeing a lot of fear about what's transpiring in the outer world. When I read people writing things on the net like "we're doomed." or "we're all going to end up in detention camps." I say, "Cancel, Cancel, Cancel!" What we think, and say, and write matters. We've been misled to believe we are powerless and that what we do doesn't make much difference. The truth is that we are immensely powerful and that the thoughts we put out go out and become manifest. None are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

If you aren't sure about whether your thoughts precede what materializes, try to find one single thing you've made without first thinking and picturing it.....See? Everything starts with thought.

What we read and write is just as important. When we repeatedly describe aspects of the dark forces, particularly with anger or fear, we just reinforce their presence. We validate their existence. Is this what you want to be doing? Pretty sure the answer is No. Use the phrase "Cancel, Cancel, Cancel." liberally when necessary.

I'm not suggesting that one pretend they don't exist. Or maybe I am suggesting that in a way. It's a balance really. While it's vitally important to monitor what is happening at the global level, do so with a sense of celebration, not dread. Isn't the demise of the illuminati created systems of enslavement what we've been hoping for?

Another thing I notice is that there is much confusion out there between the challenges created by the Powers That Be further tightening their control in their efforts to establish total police states, and the challenges that come from our dysfunctional systems collapsing. They are two distinctly separate things. I haven't found a single person, whether awake or a total sheeple, who does not agree that our systems no longer (never is probably more accurate) serve our needs. These are the illuminati created systems, created for the purpose of separating us from our inner knowing and our magnificence.

The Illuminati are going down now. The collapse of their plans is taking place with great swiftness. WhoooHeee!!! Finally! About time! If you read the recent Shape of Things to Come web bot report (see sidebar link to Half Past human), you may have noted that within a year, they will have been fully exposed to the masses (this takes place within the next two and a half months), rounded up and tried for their crimes. Given how much they control and how asleep the majority are, this is a lightning fast track we're on. After following the web bot reports for a couple of years, I've found them to be very accurate, particularly in regard to timing.

So be clear in your mind. None of us want to experience the chaos and misery of having our every freedom and/or life taken away through the imposition of a total police state. So open your heart to much gratitude that this is Not going to happen. Now, as you most surely recognize, as our systems collapse, which they all will do with the collapse of our monetary system around which all is structured, there will be a lot of chaos and many challenges. It is also the opportunity of the Ages. It's our opportunity to create a world and way of life that respects, appreciates, and supports all living things. Is it going to be easy? No, not hardly. I can assure you, with some authority, that it will be the most worthwhile endeavor we've ever made. Much work, and so very much to look forward to.

Back to our thoughts and mental images, what we write and read. We all need to become even more self aware about what we are focusing on. Search out and acknowledge, each morning and evening, what you are grateful for. Doing so not only brings into your life more to be grateful for, it also shifts your mental focus onto what is good and beneficial. Make the habit now, if you haven't already done so. Look forward. Start thinking about what a perfect world looks like. What do you want? Create the images in your mind. Create the images in your mind.

I bid you Love & Light!

Marking Mile Stones Amidst Our Bursts of Expansion

One year ago today, my beloved dog, Audrey, passed over. Audrey was a wise old soul who shared much wisdom and compassion throughout her life. She was 11 years, one month, and one day old on the day of her passing, 11 11.

Audrey accompanied me through many transitions, in the physical, the mental and emotional, and the spiritual levels. She opened doors for me, took me to parks I wouldn't have experienced, led me to neighbors and new friends I wouldn't have otherwise met, and wove great hilarity and laughter through my days. I spoke with her constantly. She understood every single word I said, no matter how complex or abstract the topic. She was a hard head who liked to have things her way. In knowing her, I learned that I'm like this too. More than once, she gave me a daily routine to follow which served as a path out of the depths of darkness and grief.

Anniversaries such as this can serve as mile markers for us. In acknowledging this day one year ago, my attention is drawn to how far I've traveled in such a short time. We can use these mile markers to pause, look back on who we were then, check where we are now, and from this comparison, come to appreciate our growth on all levels. It's important for our continued growth and expansion that we assess our progress from time to time. It helps to place ourselves in the present. It helps us remember to pause, especially now when all is transforming with such speed.

Many of my online contacts, as well as in my personal life, are sharing that they too are experiencing this burst of expansion over the past three weeks or so. What I'm experiencing is exciting, energizing, stupefying, and confusing. Internally, there is a spaciousness I've never felt before coupled with a greater level of comprehension. At the same time, my ability to focus and concentrate is diminished by about half. I strive to communicate and feel at a loss to find words that describe what I'm experiencing and my emerging levels of understanding. My sense of time has gone wonky. What feels like 20 minutes turns out to be two hours and vice versa. I'm operating more in the present. This is a good thing. Although it means that what I laid out clearly in my mind while driving somewhere is a tattered mess by the time I get back to my computer to write it out. I'm just not there any more.

It's comforting to know that we are not alone in going through this experience. If we didn't have someone else who could reply, "I know exactly what you mean, It's happening to me now too." we'd really feel lost.

All in all, it's an amazing transition. The Higher Self descending down to reside more fully in the physical body. The process has been going on for some time. Yet this current phase is a huge burst, a major step towards embodying our Whole Selves. As this occurs, it will take time for us to integrate and adjust. And as we integrate more of our whole Self, it will become easier to function in our daily lives. At the moment it feels very awkward to be half Wiser Self and half blithering idiot.

There is an image that I've used for many years that aids my understanding while going through major transitions. It's the image of a lake. After days of bright sunshine and calm steadiness, the lake takes on a cloudiness of small particles and microscopic algae floating throughout the water. Then the storm comes and everything is all churned up, the waves choppy, dark clouds and rain falling, the wind whipping up the currents. In the morning after the storm passes, the sun comes out and the lake is sparkling with pristine, clear waters. Just like the lake, we have to go through the churning up of the storm to reach a new level of clarity. Knowing where we are in this process helps us weather through the turbulence of our major transitions. Knowing we are together in this greatest of transitions. Knowing that we have Light Beings and Guardian Angels there to guide us.

Audrey, Here's to you, my Guardian Angel Dog Spirit. In heart, we travel together still. I too cherish you always. ♥

Learning to Manifest is an Experiential Process

Over the past days since posting the urgent call to prayer from Arvol Looking Horse, and following the issue of coordinating collective thought for positive change on Les Visible's Reflections in a Petri Dish, I've been pondering the activity of Manifesting. At different points I was ready to post something here, then finally realized that it's a much larger topic than can be handled in one post. With this in mind, it seems best to start by sharing some of my journey in learning about manifesting.

One way we can analyze our lives is to see it as on ongoing process of gaining conscious awareness of how we create our reality. Thinking back, it was six or seven years ago that I started a focused inquiry into consciously manifesting. At the onset, I felt intuitively that I could bring about what I wanted, I just didn't understand how to do it. There were a couple of situations in my work life that I wanted desperately to unfold in a different manner than they had been doing thus far. First I read books like Wayne Dyer's The power of Intention and a number of Deepak Chopra's books. I studied Feng Shui. It seemed to me that I understood what I was reading, but none of the situations changed at all. I kept working at it. I kept visualizing and visualizing. I got more and more frustrated and discouraged.

Very early one morning I got up to journal. My writing led me to an exploration about manifesting. I started writing down every instance I could remember that what I wanted appeared "like magic". The list got longer and longer. As it grew I confirmed for myself that I really did have the ability to create what I wanted. I did it all the time. So what was hindering the manifestation of what I wanted in my work situation?

The term Like Magic struck me very strongly. Suddenly, I jumped up and went to a piece of artwork my daughter had made for me, and there in the piece was the written message "Remember you are magic." Then came the memory of more than one client telling me what I had done to change their life was magic. In my head I heard the lyrics of a song that played on the radio during a summer when I experienced a very magical transformation, Olivia Newton John singing "Magic". "You've got to believe you are magic, nothing can stand in your way..." OK, one answer to what was tripping me up was not believing I was magic. Believing in our own ability to create is one of the keys to consciously manifesting.

As I looked over the list I noticed another common element in each of the successful situations. I hadn't tried really hard to make what I wanted appear. Actually, I hadn't tried at all. I'd simply said in my mind, "I want ....." or "I need .....", then went about whatever I was doing without thinking about it much. And it showed up, even when it was a total long shot. So another answer as to what was hindering my efforts, was that I was putting way too much effort into the process. I was trying too hard. This is a big problem, especially when what we want to manifest is something we really need at the moment. And we all know about those situations.

What I didn't understand at the time was that I had only just started to scratch the surface of what is required in order to consciously manifest. Everything is a process. The process of learning to consciously manifest takes time. The various elements are revealed to us when we reach the point in our evolution and growth, that we can grasp their significance and utilize them for our highest good.

Finding Resolution of Separation Amid the Leaking Oil

I've read comments from a few people recently noting that they really notice the separation between themselves and others who are not awake. That the shifts in the past week or so really widened the chasm. I have to agree. It's really two different worlds now. It's harder to communicate, harder to remember how to operate in the old world in a way that doesn't draw attention. Don't know about you, but I have to watch myself or I'm inclined to express my perceptions a little too succinctly and draw shocked looks from the anesthetized.

This is what I was pondering two nights ago when I started this post. Today appears a bit different. The oil leaking from the deep wound in the Earth in the Gulf of Mexico opens the heart and most, whatever their state of awareness, feel sorrow and horror from this situation. Everything serves a purpose. The catastrophic oil leak is putting the masses in touch with their reverence for this jewel of the Universe we call home. It calls their attention to the fragility of our ecosystem, fragility caused by our collective acquiescence to a system of abuse for profit. "What have we done?"

In that opening of the heart and ignited feelings of reverence and concern for our planet, the chasm between the awake and the asleep suddenly closes. Here is a point of unity for all but the profit seekers. Perhaps an opportunity for more to awaken from their illusion slumbers. I find myself wondering, Do they, the executives of BP, Halliburton, and Transocean, feel any shame or remorse? Is this situation critical enough for them to denounce the dark force that operates through them? If enough recognize that we each hold responsibility for the system of resource rape, there is great possibility. Acknowledging responsibility for the damage contains within it the recognition of responsibility to end the system. When we see we had a role in creating something we can then see we have not only the responsibility, but also the ability, to change that something.

The energy of accountability has been streaming into Earth and permeating all of our personal circumstances. Look around, you'll see many situations of people having to acknowledge they are accountable for their actions. You can probably see it in your own life if you haven't already noticed it. When we own that we are accountable, we begin to realize our own power as Creators. This is a step towards owning our Free Will.

Another opportunity presented by the oil leak, is the opportunity for people to raise their awareness and understanding about the power they possess in their thoughts, the power of holding an image in their minds and hearts, and ultimately, the exponential power of their collective thoughts. As I observe the goings on here and there, it's becoming more apparent to me that even many of the awakened overlook the power of their thoughts and words. Are we in a situation that can change that?

It's been widely noted that when a person's life, or that of their dearly loved one, is threatened they will pray, regardless of whether they believe in God or not. Truly our lives and the lives of many species are threatened by 2,500,000 gallons of gushing oil pouring into our oceans per day. Is not this enough to cause people all around the globe to focus their thoughts and prayers on finding a solution? The opportunity for learning the power of our collective thought is present. All anyone has to do to take advantage of the opportunity is join in by holding the image of the oil no longer leaking and the ocean floor healing.

The sadness in my heart rises with each gallon of oil gushing up into the oceans. Our Earth! When in pain, I look to the benefits that can be found in the situation. The more devastating the situation, the larger the benefit I search for. I find there is always a balance of opportunity. It's looking for a balance. That's where the perfection lies. The resolution of duality.
