| Benevolent Outcomes Another Tool for your Toolbox By Tom T. Moore |
|
[Tom Moore is a spiritual man whom I've known for some time. He has been
able to integrate his spirituality and his personal and business life. Considering
the intensity and demands of his life this is an accomplishment in itself. I
highly recommend that you read Tom's article and practice those parts of it
that feel good to you. I'm sure that his suggestions are intended to improve
the quality of your life. - Robert Shapiro-]
From your reading and studies, you understand that we are all Creators-in-training.
We are supposed to be learning how to create from the ground up, with the third
dimension as our training ground. Now we are entering a new phase of learning
how to benevolently create events. Robert Shapiro, in his latest book, THE COUNCIL
OF CREATORS from the Explorer Race series, channels, "…seek out more benevolent
experiences for yourself. Seek out more benevolent companions and experiences
of benevolence for you and your companion or your family or your people."
Sometime around six or seven years ago, I kept noticing that benevolent outcomes
were mentioned in channelings. Robert also channeled Zoosh as recommending we
request Benevolent Outcomes. I decided to try it out and started to say, out
loud, that I requested a Benevolent Outcome for almost every physical event
that was occurring in my life. Amazingly, everything that happened turned out
for the best—including those difficult "lessons in life" that we have contracted
to experience in each of our lives.
So before we go too far, I would like for you to say, out loud (you can whisper
if it would disturb someone or bring unwanted attention to you), "I request
the MOST BENEVOLENT OUTCOME from reading this article." Did you say it? Humor
me and give it a try. Now that you have, does this sound a little "weird" or
"funny"? We'll discuss this later. And I will include a discussion I had with
Speaks of Many Truths and his teacher Reveals the Mysteries, Indian Shamans
channeled by Robert, to better understand how this works.
The title of this article mentioned a tool for your toolbox. I discovered that
there are a number of metaphysical tools available to help us through these
earth lives. You just have to make use of them.
As an example, back in 1968 I was operating a ski club for single adults as
a business. One day, on the front page of the local newspaper, an astrologer
predicted that the Dallas Cowboys would not make it to the Superbowl that year,
but would go the following year. At the end of the American football season,
the astrologer was proven correct. I booked 300 airline seats a year in advance
to Miami and became the first tour operator in Dallas to ever run a trip to
the Superbowl for Dallas fans. I started scheduling all of my ski club meetings
and parties to coincide with benevolent (there's that word again) astrological
aspects. This was highly successful, the club grew to be the largest in the
region, and many couples met and eventually married. I also had to open a travel
agency, and it eventually became one of the largest wholesale tour companies
in the Southwest USA, selling tours through 3,000 travel agents nationwide.
This success inspired me to search out other metaphysical tools to use.
Another tool available is numerology. If you haven't done so, buy a book and
figure your own charts. It will contribute to understanding who you are.
I began recording my dreams on a daily basis in 1979. Recording dreams each
morning in my dream journal has been a major tool in my toolbox. Over the years,
since 1979, I have recorded thousands of dreams, with many of them precognitive.
My dreams also guided me to change careers. It's the closest you will get in
this life to your immortal self. I highly recommend it.
The newest metaphysical tool I use is the 26 Second Meditation, channeled from
The Group by Steve Rother in his book, RE-MEMBER – A HANDBOOK FOR HUMAN EVOLUTION.
You begin each day, sitting in silence with both thumbs touching the middle
and ring fingers of your hands. Allow a few seconds to strengthen the connection.
Then breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. You then visualize
the most beneficial events that could happen to you during the day, with spirit
as your partner, opening the doors ahead of you. I used this for the first time
recently while preparing for a TV market. With just over two weeks to go, I
had only 40 appointments. I started visualizing receiving 4 or 5 new appointments
per day. It happened. Then I visualized going to market with 100 appointments.
When I left for the market, I had 118 appointments! Experiment with using this
for a few days. Imagine all the lights being green as you drive to and from
work. This is a very powerful tool for your toolbox!
Which brings us to Benevolent Outcomes. What an important tool! This will allow
you to learn and experiment with co-creation while on the physical level. It
will give you immediate feedback—very important since we are never sure whether
we are really manifesting something or not. As an easy-to-do exercise, let's
say you're going to a shopping center, or to dinner or a movie at a location
where it is typically hard to find a parking space. You say (well before you
arrive), "I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for finding a parking space near
……" Now I have had some friends say, "But Tom, I use my 'parking angel' already."
Here is why I think requesting a Benevolent Outcome is better. If you just request
the nearest parking space, your angel or guide will comply, but that might not
be the most benevolent place to have your car parked. Someone could open their
car door too hard and "ding" the side of your car. Or someone might back into
your car and dent it. By being too close you might miss that old friend of yours
you haven't seen in ages, or the sale you would have not known about if you
had not walked past it on the way to your destination. But Benevolent Outcomes
work perfectly!
Recently on a visit back to Sedona, our friends and we drove to the "uptown"
section of Sedona for Mexican food. For many of you who have visited Sedona,
you know that the parking there can be quite problematic because of the many
gift shops and restaurants. I requested a Most Benevolent Outcome when we left
the hotel. Every single parking space on both sides of the street was taken
until we reached the restaurant. There, right at the front entrance, was "our"
parking space. Again, this was immediate feedback that we were creating!
Clara in Seattle emailed to tell me that the first time she tried it was to
pick up her grandson on a hot summer day. She knew she would have to wait for
him, and hoped to get a space up close. When she arrived, the only space available
was on the last row, but it was in the shade! It made a believer out of Clara,
says she now uses it for everything, and it has never failed her.
Two of our friends, Joy and Bob, recently drove to Las Vegas from Dallas. They
requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for their drive, hotel, and parking. Each
time they passed a police radar speed trap, they were behind trucks and other
traffic that had slowed them down. In Las Vegas, they were given exactly the
floor of the hotel they wanted and a view of the "strip." And they found the
perfect parking space where their car would not be "dinged."
Joy and Bob also just purchased a home in the country. Every time they have
closed on a house in the past, they experienced problems at the closing—mistakes
in the paperwork, etc. This time they requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for
the closing and "sailed through" the process with no problems.
Some more examples: My son, two friends and I flew to Salt Lake City, Utah and
camped all the way up to Yellowstone National Park and back. What a wonderful
trip! I knew that our flight back to Dallas was oversold, so I volunteered the
four of us to be "bumped." Typically, the airline compensates with free tickets,
which I thought we could use the next year. Naturally I requested a Most Benevolent
Outcome. They did not need our seats, but for volunteering, they gave us four
First Class seats. My son, his friend and dad had never flown first class, so
this was the treat of their lives. The following summer our schedules did not
coincide and we were not able to return—therefore truly a Benevolent Outcome!
Another example: My family and I took a cruise from Houston. My daughter and
I played bingo the first day, but other activities kept us from playing again
until the last day of the cruise. I had requested a Most Benevolent Outcome
the first day, but we did not win anything, and so I requested again on the
last day. The "coverall" pot had not been won during the week, and on the last
day they play until someone wins it. I won half of an $8,400 pot along with
a young man that was sitting right next to me. I'm sure people thought he was
my son. What synchronicity! It paid for our cruise, as we had already been given
50% off, thanks to a Benevolent Outcome on the same cruise the year before.
My son returned from an all-night high school graduation party with a Sony Play
Station he had won in a drawing. Although it was the second largest prize, it
was the one he really wanted. He explained to me that he had requested a Benevolent
Outcome "two times." Once was really enough.
Another couple in our metaphysical group have a very 'high end' painting contracting
business. With the economy in Dallas and the rest of the USA in retreat, things
have been tough for them. Billy hasn't gotten used to requesting Benevolent
Outcomes yet, but his wife, Jo, and I both requested a Most Benevolent Outcome
for their business to pick up. Just in the past week they picked up a 20,000
square foot house, which will take a year to complete; he is about to sign a
contract on a second large house, and will probably be awarded a third contract
in the next two weeks.
Last weekend, our friends and we drove to Mena, Arkansas for the weekend. I
discovered that my van was short on Freon for the air conditioner. Not having
sufficient cooling in the final "dog-days" of summer in the South can be miserable.
The motel told me that finding a place open on Saturday in such a small town
might not be possible, but they gave me the name of a tire store nearby to try.
We were there at 7:00am the next morning, but it would not open until 8:00am.
I was drawn to a service station that was open nearby and asked if they knew
of a garage to service the air conditioner; a young man that just "happened"
to be there suggested a garage several blocks away and recited the phone number.
Finding him closed, we returned to the tire store, and I requested a Most Benevolent
Outcome on getting the air conditioner serviced THAT DAY. The lady said that
they didn't have the equipment, so I pulled out the telephone number I had kept
and asked her to telephone him.
The garage owner answered and said that normally he did not work on Saturday,
but to come by, as he was repairing a UPS truck we had seen in the driveway.
He replenished the Freon and charged me only one-third of what I would have
paid in Dallas. And as a side benefit, he had an unbelievable collection of
old Indian motorcycles, a 1942 Hudson sedan, marbles, and toy cars in their
original boxes. He had taught automotive repair in a local college for 25 years
before retiring. Had the lady who knew him not telephoned, he might not have
said yes to us.
Recently, I added to my request. I requested a Most Benevolent Outcome for my
sales trip to a TV market in Budapest, but I added, "and may it produce better
results than I expect or hope for." I was invited to a meeting where a Russian/Ukrainian
TV network agreed to become a co-production partner in a movie to be filmed
in Siberia, and our company will be the worldwide distributor. I flew from Budapest
to Athens and requested the same thing. Not only was my business successful
there, but also my colleague in Athens asked me to help him sell his TV productions
on historical Greece.
Does requesting Benevolent Outcomes sound strange, or weird, or "funny?" It
does take a little getting used to. Some of my metaphysically oriented friends
have slowly adopted using the request, especially as they see more and more
positive results. But it has been difficult for others. I can't help that. I
did not "invent" the words. I just started using what the channeling entities
used as part of their language. When I started using this statement, there was
very little written about Benevolent Outcomes. More is being written, and it
seems that we are using Benevolent Magic.
In order to understand how Benevolent Outcomes work, I "interviewed" the Shamans,
Speaks of Many Truths and his teacher, Reveals the Mysteries, channeled by Robert
Shapiro. I will only excerpt some of their comments here, in order to clarify
how these requests work metaphysically.
(Question to Speaks of Many Truths) What is the definition of benevolent and
benevolent outcomes in the spirit world?
"It's not like (that) in the spirit world. The reason we sometimes say that
when you say things to us that we are literal, it means that we are literal
to the point of your meaning. Or the other possibility is that we are literal
to the point of what is applicable to the situation and even what is safe to
tell you.
"The reason I made a point that different beings that work with Benevolent Magic
and [others with] Living Prayer, for example, is that with benevolent magic,
there needs to be direct connections drawn and requested that encourages people
to do what they might otherwise do in any event. You see?
"But there needs to be something that brings it to their attention so they would
do it in a given moment rather than at some other time. That's very precisely
what goes on there. It is not something that operates against anyone's will
or manipulates them in any way.
Reveals the Mysteries--[Speaking of Benevolent Outcomes as Benevolent Magic]
"You have to remember that the keyword in benevolent magic is magic. The keyword
is not benevolent. Do you understand the difference?"
Not exactly.
"You can describe magic in different forms, but you're talking about magic first
and benevolent second. But you say benevolent magic because you want to make
it clear that it is magic intended to be benevolent for all beings. Meaning
that you do not wish beings to change against their will or their better interest.
But it is ultimately magic, meaning that things change without any apparent
effort of will or undue influence. So in that sense, for no reason that you
can put your finger on, things change in some benevolent way.
"And that's magic, and it is done through various beings functioning in various
ways. In benevolent magic, you ask for a very precise thing."
So benevolent magic is magic used for the small things, the small details with
our inter-reaction between us and other peoples?
"Not small. Benevolent magic has to do with specific details and very specific
intentions. It is a pinpoint thing, usually a narrow-ranged thing. You are asking
for something specific."
Quite a bit of the interview was a discussion about Living Prayer. Reveals the
Mysteries feels that I should write a completely separate article on Living
Prayer, which he said requires an attitudinal change by people. I will include
much more of both their comments in the article to come.
Back to Benevolent Outcomes, the request has to be done physically, either verbally
or in writing, as we are in a physical world. It seems we are communicating
at a super-conscious level with other higher selves to co-create these requests.
These Benevolent requests are probably only "training wheels" in our learning
to co-create, but it should give all of us a basic understanding of creating
benevolent events. You will receive immediate feedback, which will increase
your confidence in its use as a tool. I also like to say "thank you" three times
when I receive a Benevolent Outcome. It's just nice to acknowledge the assistance
you received.
Keep in mind that you must be willing to accept the Benevolent Outcomes. If
you request a Benevolent Outcome for a dear one's recovery from an illness or
injury, the Benevolent Outcome may be that they transition peacefully. If you
ask for a Benevolent Outcome for a job interview, and they choose someone else,
you have to accept that there is something better on the way for you. If you
have had a number of successes with the more mundane incidents in your life,
it will be much easier to accept the outcomes for those more major events that
come along.
Please test this out for yourself. It is a "habit" that is created by repetition.
You have to consciously think to use it for some time until it becomes natural.
But the potential results will mean an easier life for you, your family, your
friends and ultimately all of us. It will certainly contribute to a lowering
of your stress level. So please email or post on the Sedonajo.com message boards
and give us examples of your use of requesting Benevolent Outcomes and send
this article to your friends. I'm sure you will have some great events to share
with us all!

| The Law of Surrender: Embracing a Higher Will By Dan Millman From The Laws of Spirit |
|
Surrender means
accepting this moment,
this body, and this life
with open arms.
Surrender involves
getting out of our own way
and living in accord with
a higher will,
expressed as the wisdom of our own heart.
Far more than passive acceptance,
surrender uses every challenge
as a means of spiritual growth
and expanded awareness.
Morning turned to afternoon. A sudden gust of wind rippled the branches over
our heads, shaking loose a single leaf that twirled down to land in a nearby
brook. Gesturing toward the rushing water, the sage asked, "Have you noticed,
Traveler, how flowing water is soft yet powerful? Yielding, forceful, flexible,
it surrenders to gravity without resistance, adapting to the shape of any container.
Water reveals the most intelligent and powerful response you can make in any
circumstance."
"And what response is that?"
"Surrender," she said.
"I don't understand," I said. I was taught to fight for what I believe into
never give up."
"Although the Law of Surrender means accepting whatever happens in your life,
it does not mean passive toleration for what you don't like, or ignoring injustice,
or allowing oneself to be victimized or controlled. True surrender is an active,
positive, creative commitment to embrace and make use of your situation, in
a spirit of appreciation."
"I can't pretend to appreciate the flu, or flat tires, or other problems," I
responded.
"This law is not about pretending, or about denying your true feelings; it's
about transforming them. You learn to surrender by shifting your perspective."
The sage paced for a few moments, as if searching for the right word. Then she
said, "Look at it this way: If you were training in athletics, your coach might
give you an award one day and demand a grueling workout the next. You could
accept - even appreciate - all of this as part of your training. Well, the same
is true in daily life. Spirit is your coach, Traveler, and life is your training.
So I ask you, what if you could see a flat tire or the flu as part of your learning
and growth?"
"Well, if something like that happens, I might as well view it that way. But
I never pictured myself surrendering to a flat tire," I joked.
Smiling, the sage explained, "In its truest sense, this law guides you to surrender
to the moment- to accept whatever arises, including your response to what arises.
It means accepting not only life's ups and down, but also accepting yourself
- your body, mind, and emotions."
"Are you saying that once I learn to accept myself and surrender to whatever
happens, that life gets easier?"
"Life will continue to provide you with challenges and tests," she said, "but
as you relax into life, even your difficulties will have a pleasurable aspect,
like playing a challenging game or solving a puzzle."
"I can't shake the feeling that all this is much easier said than done."
"Anything seems difficult until it becomes easy. So begin this practice in little
ways at first: When you have a disagreement, fully acknowledge the other person's
point of view as your own, and see what happens. See if you can shrug off small
disappointments. Follow the guidance of Epictetus, the Greek sage who advised
his students to 'Learn to wish that everything should come to pass exactly as
it does.'
We began walking down a gentle and widening trail among tall grasses speckled
with wildflowers. The afternoon sun glowed in an azure sky, accenting the colors
all around us and drawing me out of my concerns, which I finally expressed:
"Of all the laws I've learned, this seems the most challenging," I said. "It
feels like I have to give up a part of myself - my desires, values, and preferences."
The sage's face shone with its own light as she answered. "The Law of Surrender
honors the sanctity of each soul with its divine spark of individuality. You
need not give that up, Traveler; you need only get out of your own way. Surrendering
your smaller will to a higher will is not a common practice," the sage continued,
"because you'd rather do what you prefer. This is understandable. But life doesn't
always give us what we prefer, so our desires lead to attachment, anxiety, and
frustration. Following our small will may lead to temporary satisfaction, but
not lasting happiness. When you see clearly that life is not only about getting
what you want, but also about learning to want what you get, you'll align your
life with the Law of Surrender."
"How do I actually practice this law?" I asked.
"Begin by asking, in any situation, 'What is for the highest good of all concerned?
Like praying for rain in your drought-stricken area even though your own roof
is leaking. True surrender can be expressed in the heartfelt wish, 'Not my will
but thy will be done.'"
"That's going to be a stretch for me."
"A big stretch for anyone!" she said, smiling. "But stretching is a part of
life. It begins by shifting your energy and attention from the desires of a
smaller will to the wisdom of a higher will.
"Are you talking about the will of God?"
"Offering the prayer, 'Thy will be done' does not require that you believe in
an external God - only that you speak from your heart and ask yourself, 'If
a wise, loving, compassionate God were guiding me now, what would I do in this
situation?' Then feel your heart; listen to your higher self; you will know
what to do, and you'll find the courage and love to do it. Because Spirit does
indeed work through you, whether or not you are fully aware of it."
"I'm not sure how to begin," I confessed.
"Just open to life at whatever level you can. Over time, the practice of surrender
becomes deeper and more profound until you can embrace the rain clouds as you
would the pleasures of a sunny day. And remember to relax! Relaxation is the
body's way surrendering to the moment, letting go of fixed ideas of what 'should'
happen, so that you can respond freshly and innocently to each moment, without
judgment or expectation."
Just then we looked up to see the cat I had met several nights before, sitting
up tall on a nearby boulder. "Her Majesty is holding court," I said.
The sage, of course, saw this as another object lesson. "Have you noticed, Traveler,
how cats will persist in going where they want to?"
"Yes, I've noticed," I said, gazing up at the cat.
"But if someone is blocking their way," she added, they sit back, relax, let
go, and take the opportunity to lick their paw. Few people have learned the
art of surrender as well as cats and masters of the martial arts."
"What does surrender have to do with martial arts?"
"The highest martial arts, like water, are flowing and flexible, responsive
rather than rigid or reactive. Such arts teach us to pull when pushed and to
push when pulled - to blend with life's forces rather than wasting energy struggling
against them."
She stopped speaking and gazed up into the hills for a few moments, then turned
back to me. "Long ago in feudal Japan, I was a young samurai, seeking mastery
of the sword. I trained many hours a day practicing cuts, parries, and evasive
movements. I found a master who consented to instruct me, but he would say nothing
about my technique, insisting that it was secondary. Instead, he emphasized
the importance of relinquishing any attachment to victory, safety, or desired
outcomes. Only the warrior who could let go of the smaller self with its desires,
fears, and attachments would remain relaxed and focused. In a duel, surrendering
to death meant survival; clinging to life meant losing it. Do you understand?
This law has life-and-death practicality. As you let go of attachments, you
expand into greater freedom."
Anticipating my next question, the sage added, "Surrendering attachments doesn't
mean giving away one's house or earthly goods; it's an internal act, a willingness
to embrace fully whatever happens."
"When, exactly, does this law apply in everyday life?"
The sage laughed. "When does it not apply! Pick any circumstance you might normally
reject, avoid, or resist; then go with it completely, turn it your way, and
make the best of it. Surrender to your highest impulses and do what you can
to work for positive change in the world. But, like the cat, don't waste energy
resisting or fretting over circumstances you can't control.
We stopped to survey the rolling hills below. The sage sat down on the grassy
hillside, and I followed suit. Then, quietly, almost reverently she continued.
"I acknowledge how difficult it is to surrender to life as it appears - to the
greed, pain, and injustice in the world. In time, however, you will come to
see everyone and everything as an aspect of Spirit - accepting on faith that
despite our difficulties, everything in the universe is unfolding as it must.
Surrender is an act of humility - an acknowledgment that life is a mystery whose
depth the mind cannot fathom. As Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote, 'Life is God's
novel; let God write it.'" "I can promise you this, Traveler," said the sage.
"The Law of Surrender will show the way to a natural state of grace, opening
the way for a flowering of faith, leading to the realization of your essential
unity with all beings - an awareness so profound that it accelerates your evolution
and catapults you on the path of human potential, into a spiritual reality existing
long before the material world."

| The I AM Presence By Dekora |
|
Much has been written about the I AM Presence and it's purpose.
I would like to suggest a different perspective.
Imagine for a moment that we are not all ONE, but individual creators that have
amazing power of our own. At one point in time we decided to split our perception
into many different identities. Through these identities we would explore the
universe in all its bounty and learn from our experiences.
Our "oversoul", or IAM Presence, became like an octopus with billions of tentacles,
all spreading out into the universe, and all containing a different identity.
One tentacle lives in the 1950's and thinks it's a female dancer, another lives
back in the time of Lemuria and thinks it's healer, yet another lives on another
planet and is experiencing something unheard of on Earth! Some live in different
dimensions, others live in different timezones, all think they are unique, all
exist simultaneously for all time exists at once, and yet they have one particular
thing in common.
They all came from the one being. Your oversoul. The ultimate being that is
you.
Some may be aware of this, and work with it, some live in blissful, or not so
blissful, ignorance of this fact, and provide the experience of ignorance and
not knowing to the oversoul. The oversoul watches all of this, experiences all
situations, and is learning about the universe, and its place, through all of
this.
Imagine now, that your oversoul has decided it has learned enough. It has experienced
enough for the moment. It has decided that it is going to withdraw its tentacles
from the experiment. It is going to one by one bring all of these identities
of its self back into oneness.
As it pulls each tentacle back one by one, its personality changes slightly
with the information gathered and the personality that it brings back into itself.
Eventually, all the tentacles have been recovered, the oversoul no longer has
"representatives" of itself living in all the different dimensions and worlds,
it has brought itself back to ONEness. It has ascended.
This is how I see the Ascended Masters. They had experienced enough in their
opinion, they decided to pull back all their experiences, their tentacles, and
bring themselves back to ONE. At which point there will be a blending of all
the different personalities until one is formed. One personality might make
more of an impression than others and the ONE ascended master can take any form
they want at this point, often one that was more well known than other lives
they lived. Hence, why Yeshua appears as we viewed Jesus rather than as another
incarnation he had, sometimes he appears as Sananda, another personality they
had.
I look at the
picture of the IAM Presence, and I don't see me connected to the God Presence.
I see my physical body on Earth (Donna) overshadowed by my astral body (Dekora)
and my ultimate oversoul at the very top, with its light or "tentacle" connected
to me. The IAM Presence is ME, and I have the ability [when I learn to act with
my oversoul] to be all powerful.

Our deepest
fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that Other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of god within us. It is not just in some of us; it's in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. |

Developed by the author over the last quarter century, Astroshamanism is a system of spiritual healing that integrates experiential astrology with the basic principles of shamanic traditions from around the world. It covers sacred rituals and tools, voyaging, spirit guides and power animals, totem spirits and demons, trance dance and more. The birth chart becomes a sacred circle. However, the horoscope is not interpreted analytically but expressed by using shamanic techniques to expand awareness. New transformative perceptions are facilitated by a direct connection with "an ecstatic and unified dimension that lies beyond the illusions of the ordinary perception of reality." Overall the emphasis of the book is more on the author's personal shamanistic approach, with the astrology offering a language to clarify the processes. |
| Well, they address 60 of the biggest questions and cover quite a bit of ground in the process. Each question is preceded by an inspirational quote from as diverse contributors as Gandhi, C.S. Lewis, Che Guevara and Lisa Simpson, and many are followed by modern parables from the lives of the chicks themselves. The two American authors come from quite different backgrounds but have met on the spiritual common ground that underpins all faiths. Their commentaries are both informal and informative, rather like having a late night chat with friends. If you are new to the spiritual path, or feel alone on it, or just instinctively want simplicity, this will be a friendly and supportive guide. It's a down-to-earth approach to living our everyday lives in a spiritual way - with just plenty of encouragement and reassurance that it is possible to be a spiritual person and live a 21st-century lifestyle. |

Australian Animal Wisdom Dugong By Dekora Dugong brings us sacred gifts from Spirit. She is here as a reminder that we don't need to rush through life, and that we need to slow down in order to truly hear our messages from the Divine. She is encouraging us to slow down, take time to call on and share the ancient knowledge that we all have. Balance is important to us, and some times we get too caught up in the goings-on of life, that we forget to take time to experience spirit in everything we do - feel it - everything is spiritual whether it is meditating for hours on end, or working a 9-5 job. |

Angels of the deep, that is a term that has been used to describe
these graceful, gentle mammals. Dugongs have been nearly hunted to extinction,
and yet they bear no malice to their hunters, and they place their trust in
the Universe to provide for them, for as long as they live. This is the magic
they are wanting to share with humanity. She swims slowly through the waters
not letting fear or anger to control her actions.
She brings a message to us that "hunters will always appear in your life, but
you are protected by Spirit, so fear not". Let go of your fears, let go of your
negative emotions, and embrace peace in your life. Dugong gives willingly of
herself if called to and she asks us to share our gifts with others.When we
open the heart chakra and its energy we open up to the peace in our life. With
this peace we begin to understand the ways of the universe, and know that we
are being provided for by spirit and the universe, and we are not alone.
This month, Dugong is encouraging us to take some time to be alone and listen
to Spirit. There are messages there that we might not be hearing. There have
been a lot of changes going on, and many people have seen their fears reawakened
by past events and experiences that they haven't fully let go of. This is just
a test! It is reminding us that there is always things that will come up and
challenge our way of life. It is up to us to trust the Universe, learn from
these experiences without judging them, accept them and move on.
Dugong encourages us to be peaceful with everyone, do not judge their actions
or situation, but offer them love and if you can help them in any way, do so
with love and acceptance, knowing that Spirit does for you what you do for others.
Share and you will always be provided for. Be gentle and peace will grace your
life.
