Children's World Day of Peace message from James Twyman

30,000 PSYCHIC AND INDIGO CHILDREN IN JAPAN ARE ASKING FOR OUR HELP.

There are currently over 300 schools in Japan teaching children who have demonstrated psychic and Indigo abilities, serving over 30,000 students. I had the chance to meet with a group of these children in Tokyo on Sunday. They came with a message from all the students in their program, asking us to join them in a day of prayer and peace on August 6, the anniversary of the first atomic bomb falling on Japan.

THROUGHOUT THAT DAY, THE CHILDREN HAVE ASKED US TO DEDICATE OUSELVES TO PEACE. They believe that they will be able to link with all the Indigo and Psychic Children of the world on that day, creating a grid of energy that will springboard us into the next level of conscious evolution. They have especially asked that we get our children involved. That is why we are calling this day:

THE CHILDREN'S WORLD DAY OF PEACE

Nearly two years ago, I had the honor of meeting a young boy named Koya, who though brain damaged since birth, is able to communicate through a letter board and offer profound wisdom on healing the world. Thousands of people in Japan consider Koya a great mystic, and come to him for his spiritual insights. Koya, who is now five years old, attended the concert I gave in Tokyo and reiterated the request of the other children. He said that this day of prayer is to help the newest wave of children incarnate and fulfill their mission. Koya believes that the children who are now on the planet have built the foundation for the new group who will be born in the next ten years. He told me that the more we focus on welcoming this new group, the sooner they will be able to come.

KOYA CALLS THESE NEW CHILDREN: 'THOSE WHO ARE NOT TO BE NAMED.'

On August 6, please join the children of Japan and all Indigo Children around the world, in THE CHILDREN'S WORLD DAY OF PEACE. Throughout the day send your blessings and prayers to the mission of the children, and to the whole planet. Most importantly, get your own children involved. Koya suggests that we ask them to imagine the earth surrounded by glowing white light, then add our own brilliance to that light. In this way the light will expand, and a passage way will be created allowing the new children to enter.

Thank you for responding to this call!

Peace,
James Twyman and
The Beloved Community

Message from Mikiah Channeled by Rev. Pam Wade

Mikiah began by saying that many are feeling/sensing the shifting of the New Madrid Fault line, which runs very close to where we are in Southern Indiana. I wasn’t aware that there had been an earthquake near the beginning of the Fault, but there had been. She said the Earth will continue to shift herself along the fault line. There will not be any major quake, as those who know of the New Madrid Fault may have expected...the last major quake was in the 1800's and it formed a lake in KY or TN. She said that people who are becoming more sensitive may feel nausea or dizzy prior to the shifting.

The increased Energy at the beginning of July is bringing many to a ‘point of choosing’ within their Being, setting into motion what is occurring in there lives. She said things are speeding up and up and up, and cautions us to be clear, and direct your energy in the direction you wish to go.

The Energy is creating whirlpools of Energy. If you are undecided in your action, you will get caught in the whirlpools of Energy, bringing you closer and closer to the center of the whirlpool. Once you get to the center, you will be ‘sucked under’, causing you to become immobile, unable to move forward in your life. She advises that you center yourself, be clear, and then proceed toward your goal, or you can get caught in the whirlpool, feel suppressed and you will feel like you cannot move.

Make a choice, move forward toward your goal, make a choice and move forward, make a choice and move forward. She also said to be clear with those you are talking to or interacting with. If you are asked to do something and you don’t want to do it, don’t, but don’t say "It’s OK if it isn’t. Don’t say "It doesn’t matter." if it does!

Mikiah recommends to use strongly, the doors that open for you, you must have a voice to open them. Like the Fable of Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves, where he says, "Open Sesame" or "Open says Me.". Mikiah says that doors open by sending your voice before you, so be very careful to choose your words well. If your heart and your mind are not blended, then say nothing.

Center yourself before you speak.

She said that Lightworkers are becoming sensitive to words, they may penetrate them more. So if you speak quickly or harshly, it will penetrate more. Our Light Bodies are weaving, and consist of the Energy of our Spirit coming forth from within and going before our physical bodies. So, STOP before you speak, we have mor power than we realize.

Many people have been feeling tired lately, and Mikiah said that is because we have been bombarded with Energy, going through us to be grounded within the Earth. We are so energized, we become tired. She gave the example of dry ice being so cold that it burns if you touch it, it is the same thing with the Energy, it is strong, and of such a high vibration, it tires us.

We are seeing signs of some things coming into balance, allow ourselves to become excited and joyful, rather than feeling that if we become excited it will jinx whatever it is that we are experiencing. We tend to be afraid to trust what we are seeing beginning to become balanced. Mikiah said to be Joyful, we will not jinx it

One of the group had just moved and in the process, developed some aches and pains, Mikiah said that when we don’t allow the Energy to flow, then we manifest imbalances in our Being. At first they are in energy form and at this stage, they can be cleared with a thought, once they enter into the physical, then there must be clearing in the physical as well.

Once an energy is set into motion, it will continue until it dissipates. Thought begins to dissipate the energy and then will assist in bring back physical and emotional balance as well. The thought treats both the energy and the physical...the energy of the thought spirals through the physical body beginning the coming back into balance.

Mikiah said that there is Energy coming to the Earth from Light Beings, it is an energy of preparing. It places the Energy into activity to bring about manifestation of those things we are putting forth. It is Pure Energy, we can draw upon it to manifest the desires of our Heart into physical reality. It also will allow the Light Beings to come into manifestation. As we use the pure energy for manifesting, it becomes manifestation energy. And once we manifest just one desire of our heart, then all others fall into place. We put into motion the manners in which it will be utilized. She cautions us to use it wisely!

The increase in Energy is affecting many and some are using it unwisely. Such as for the powers of deception, she said again that lies are being told, and that there is not just deception, but manipulation taking place. Those in charge are using the energy to make us do as they desire. We must use the Energy to claim our power or the Energy will be used to move us as they want us, like Pawns. Use the Energy to stand strong in our power.

Mikiah said that there is a shifting of animals and birds on the Earth, they are following the ley lines and we may see birds that we normally don’t see in our area. They will adapt to the changes as they understand the energy flows.

Mikiah suggested that we need to expand our mind to understand how things manifest. We project for something, we send thoughts out, we believe in, we know this will occur, yet things come in ways we did not think they would. She said that our dreams and desires can come through one avenue, this is why as said above, once one desire of the heart manifests, all others fall into place.

When we decree, declare and claim, we are placing limits on the potential of manifestation. She gave an example of someone when wants to manifest a pair of shoes, so they focus on the shoes. Later, someone tells this person that they have some clothes that they are giving away, would they be interested in having them? No, thank you. Hmmm, seems the shoes that were being focused on were in the clothes that were being given away.

So this person focuses again on the shoes, and another opportunity will present itself, but because only one aspect is being focused upon...shoes instead of what comes that includes the shoes, it was limited, and there will be fewer opportunities for them to manifest. Be open, don’t limit where it will come from.

We have the ‘illusion’ that we ‘need’ something. The ‘I need’ creates more needing, which distances you from that which you desire. Mikiah said that we are afraid to ask for our desires, and afraid to release what you desire, and that, too, keeps what you desire from coming to you. Again the example of shoes, "I need a new pair of shoes, but I will hold on to the old ones until the new ones come." Instead, get rid of the old, so that it will make room for the new to come. Release the attachment to the outcome, then the energy can flow.

Don’t be afraid to ask, know that if you ask on person and they say no, then maybe you asked the wrong person. Respect the choice of the other person, or of the Universe, and don’t get your feelings hurt. Also, if you are asked and you say, "No", there is no need to explain why.

Mikiah said that we have been taught that we have limitations, but they do not exist, we just believe they do. Why else would you be told ‘Say to the mountain "Move." and it would move. It takes just one desire of the heart to manifest to create the Energy for all the desires of our heart to manifest! We just need to pursue that one desire..

Healing Yourself By Carrie Hart & Quado

A reader asks:

Three weeks ago I suddenly became severely ill and am still feeling quite sick, but the tests are all coming back negative. In fact, because of the negative test results my doctor diagnosed me as "depressed with anxiety disorder" and put me Lexapro. This saddened me greatly because I am 45 and never had to go on any medication until now. My question is this... I have read on the internet many discussions of DNA changes due to earth passing from one dimension to another. Do you think this is what is happening with me?

Quado, do you have an answer to this question?

Ah, yes, of course, of course.

There are a number of layers to the answer I wish to give you, but let us begin here. You are responsible for your health. You are responsible for deciding what caregivers to seek out and for changing direction if you do not like what is recommended to you. You are responsible for deciding what to put into your mouth and for then observing the effect that it has on your mind and body. In short, you need to take responsibility for your health and well-being.

I would urge you to seek out practitioners of alternative medicine. When you have taken tests which are negative and show no known pathology of the body according to traditional medicine, then you should seek alternative paths. In going to the doctor you have chosen, you have been given what he knows to give you. If he is not trained in analyzing the energy patterns in your body and adjusting them, but is instead trained in dispensing pills, then that is what he will do. Seek someone who understands energy patterns in the body and see what can be done to adjust yours.

As for the earth moving through dimensions and DNA patterns changing, I would ask you to see all of this as metaphor, not as literal truth. Yes, there are energy patterns. Yes, they have great influence on you. But the primary energy pattern of concern here is the energy that you are producing inside your own body. It may be that you have weakened your own energy source and are therefore succumbing to outside energies because of your own weakened field. I would ask you to consider this possibility and rather than focusing on what outside forces may be playing upon you, to consider what you can do to build up your own core of energy for healing.

For in the end, healing is something that you do and only you can do. Doctors can give pills which may make certain symptoms come and go, but there is an underlying cause and you will do well to deal with that. You are right to focus on energy, but wrong to place responsibility outside yourself and your own circle of influence. There is much that you can do. You are not a victim. You are a powerful person who can take her life in her own hands. You are a powerful person with the ability to heal yourself when properly guided.

And so, do this. First, right now, take full responsibility for your health. Decide that you will own this. You will choose the people who will give you advice and you will take the advice or not depending upon what you think and feel. You will observe your body closely and understand its response. You will own this healing process and understand that you are fully capable of learning how to heal yourself. Over time and with help, yes, but still, it is yours to do.

And next, seek out someone who will work with you, someone who works with energy and spiritual healing. There are many, many different schools of healing. Find out what is available to you locally and then just use your intuition to choose one. Feel free to experiment as well. Feel free to try working with someone and then move on if it does not work for you or if it makes you uncomfortable in any way.

Next, as part of your own responsibility for healing, focus on strengthening your own center, your own core and your connection with your soul self. Every morning, spend time in quiet contemplation, breathing down to a quiet place. Then from this quiet place, picture a bright glowing ball in your center. As you picture this, let the glow grow larger. This is a great pool of peace in your center, in your solar plexus. Let the glow and the peace grow larger every day, so large that eventually it spreads throughout your entire body.

Then also, while your center is glowing, let your focus reach up over your head, up a golden shaft of light which reaches to your soul self. And here, ask for your soul self to pour down loving and healing energy into your body. Keep this channel open as long as you can, just refreshing and energizing you. See how the shaft of energy from your soul self reaches down through your body and lights that center core within you.

Do this every morning while you are also seeking help from outside to heal. And as you seek the right healer to help you, remember to take responsibility. Know that if anyone does or says anything which makes you afraid, that this is not the right solution. The healing you seek is loving healing, healing of light, not anything frightening. Apply this also to what you allow yourself to read on the internet. Seek to reduce fear, to eliminate fear, and replace it with love.

It does not help you to cast yourself as a victim, either of doctors and their pills or of stories about energy fields the earth is passing through. It does help you to focus on your own power and strengthening that power and what you can do for yourself.

You are strong and capable. You may need guidance, yes, but you can learn to heal yourself. And this crisis that you are going through right now may be just the catalyst you need to do this, to undertake your own transition into a state of healthier spirituality and connection with the love of the world.

Open up to it. Let the love flow in. Let the love and joy of life fill your center with a quiet, peaceful glow. Work through this crisis and to the other side, to a wholeness you had not known before.

Heart & Soul Resonance By Daniel Jacob

"He did all he could."
"She did all that she was able to do."
"They did what they could. It was all they had."
"You are doing the best you can."
"I am doing all that I can do."

In the process of developing heart and soul resonance, with others or within ourselves, these few declarations are among the most liberating, healing sounds a person can ever speak or hear. They are medicine for a weary mind-- a healing balm that, if believed and truly embraced, can refocus a life, and quiet the spasms of an aching psyche.

But these are not fashionable attitudes in today's society. So they are usually applied very late in the game--and only after considerable damage has been done to our self esteem, or that of the people around us. Trying, reaching, striving for perfection, many of us cannot allow our minds to entertain the notion that whatever image stares back at us in our bathroom mirror is all we can be in this present moment. It feels strange, even frightening to allow such a feeling to find a home in our heart.

Jack Nicholson, in a recent movie, played a whimsical yet irritating character--a curmudgeon, who looked at his world with extremely cynical eyes. In one scene, he ran through the waiting room of a prominent psychiatrist's office, looked into the troubled faces of those waiting to see the doctor, saying: "What if this is as good as it gets?" He then sped out the room, leaving looks of shock and dismay on the patient's faces. It was priceless. When I saw it, a part of me laughed and a part of me cringed. How dare he suggest that our lives are unfolding exactly as they are meant to be?

There is a weird kind of comfort that can be derived from believing that we holding back in life, allocating only a portion who we are to the tasks at hand. We tell ourselves "I just don't feel motivated today, so this is all I am willing to do." We need to believe that we could always do more, be more. The guilt and shame that flows from this belief rarely succeeds in producing change. And so, many of us conclude that we are just lazy, inconsiderate, or unwilling to succeed.

Such attitudes do not flow from our sacred core--even though we wear them daily, like a pair of comfortable old shoes. They are implants--tortuous concepts that have been downloaded into us by generations who have come before. Even though they didn't do much for our forefathers either, these thorns are dutifully pressed into our souls just the same. The Reconnections call them "seat belts," because, for a time, they do such a great job of holding a divine soul in a state of limitation and ego-based fear.

LETTING GO OF STRUGGLE

In their transmission entitled "Pleasure and Pain in Transformation," The Reconnections have this to say to us, regarding our journey into 3D:

"You come here to the physical dimension from a place where you can do or have anything, just by thinking it. Being in a place of limitation and despair is quite a vacation for someone that powerful. And truly, it is only for a season, a micro-second in the flow of eternity. And the connected, expanded parts of you who realize this are doing everything they can to insure that you get to suck every drop of juice from your "lemons" of 3D drama, before you allow yourself to rise again to power and glory.

Though the Veil of Forgetfulness quite effectively hides this wry motivation from your conscious minds, you are really a bunch of Cosmic Houdinis, trying to outdo each other in the number of handicaps you can overcome. Of course, when the pendulum swings to pleasure again, the feelings are so much sweeter because of their contrast to the pain."

Do we really get that? We came here to be limited! Limited, challenged, and hung out to dry! That's quite a reversal on what most of us were taught growing up. Most of us heard that we came here to be happy. But really, that's just surface stuff. Someone else once said: "You're not human beings who have spiritual experiences. You're really spiritual beings who are having a human experience."

At a key time in our journey, once our "Itinerary in Limitation" has been fulfilled, we begin to wake up. The Recons continue, in one of their other transmissions:

"Since this is only an experiment in limitation, you included within your programming a time-released mechanism that, at a pre-appointed interval---would activate and begin the termination of the Veil, allowing you not only to perceive, but also to travel beyond the borderlines of the 3D plane upon which you exist. When complete, this "waking up of the dreamer" would reintroduce you back into The Greater Whole, where you would again have access to knowledge of all your Expanded Self."

And so... the plot thickens. Our whole Earth Vacation is a dream, and we're the Cosmic Dreamer. At an appointed time, we allow ourselves to wake, and restore ourselves to as much of our "former estate" as this Planetary Body can carry. The rest of who we are is stored, in Conscious Collectives (such as The Reconnections), and handed to us when we need it. Part of opening to all that power and grace involves the realization that we are far more than a single ego and physical vehicle can express. Our central programming flows from a Oneself Consciousness that always knows the ending from the beginning, and always understands.

During this powerful time of heart and soul alignment, Spirit now comes to us with the very same question that Jack Nicholson's character verbalized in that movie. "What if this is as good as it gets? What if, right here and now, you are the best you can be, doing the very best you can?"

Most people get jammed up because they feel they aren't trying hard enough to grow. In truth, the exact opposite is true. They try too hard, then blow their circuits out. This is the primary causative factor for nervous dysfunctions, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Multiple Sclerosis.

We blink as we consider all this, and then hurry off to perform our next task. We work out, we train, we strategize......... we hurry, hurry........ bending and contorting our emotions in order to reach just a little higher, and go just a little further. Do we end up satisfied? Sometimes.....but only for a season. All satisfaction is just for a season, and then the pendulum must swing the other way. Learning to ride the tide of these currents is what sets us firmly back into our seat of power. It's all fine, it's all me, and it's all enough! For more info on this type of thinking, take a look at: "How to Figure Stuff Out" www.reconnections.net/how_to_figure.htm

GENTLE, FLOWING, COMFORTABLE

I have spent 20 years doing Muscular Rehabilitation and Stress Management. I have seen some of the carnage that the adage "No pain, no gain" has wrought. I have also seen the "success" that striving for excellence can bring. How do you define "success?" Is it quantity of life or quality of life? Is it power or peace? Though I fully realize that I there doesn't have to be an "either/or" in these options, let's pretend there does.

Human stress is caused by one of two things. Either we force ourselves to do something that we don't want to do, or we keep ourselves from doing something we do want to do. With either mindset-- the forcing or the restraint--comes a mandate for growth that feels unnatural. It is contrived and feigned. But remember, we have generations of this type of stress motivation standing behind us, pushing us onward. This personal programming goes right down to the DNA!

If we are able to push through our stress, and accomplish something--despite the creaking and groaning of our heart--a pride pattern gets installed. We know it is there, by noticing the attitude we have when seeing another person fail at something we have forced ourselves to do. If you can't quite live up to your "shoulds" and "oughts".........then a feeling of shame or discouragement is the result. The Reconnections call this "ought-ism." Those who do what they truly love, in any moment, are too busy enjoying life to feel proud or anxious. Their only focus is living.

As our planet speeds forward, moving from 3D living to 4D and beyond--it becomes a huge movie screen, onto which images are being cast. The Sun (symbolizing conscious awareness) is the light that flows through the projector. The planets or celestial bodies that come between us and the Sun are like colored filters, through which light is altered and refocused. Each celestial body has its own essence and flavor that it brings to the screen.

Venus is about love, letting go, accepting, and embracing what is before us. NON-RESISTANCE. As our planetary pitch of energy increases, we will have less and less strength to maintain facades or pretense. Little by little, effort and "willpower" will give way to a gentler, more authentic energy. Each phase of our "awakening" will be precious--and, every along the way, we are doing the best we can.

There is no holding back, no cheating life of the "rest" of who we are. There never was. There was no "age of accountability" in a person's life, when the universe begins keeping score. As children, we instinctively knew........right from the beginning. As adults, we know no more than we did then. We simply labor under the weight of our collective definitions, that is all. All of the separationist implants, criticisms, ideals, and crusades.........all the thorns and internal prodding and poking, are simply MENTAL CONSTRUCTS.......Guardian Spirits.......designed to hold us in a place of limitation and weakness, for a time. As Master Yoda said to his Jedi apprentice: "Either DO or DO NOT..........there is no try." And really, there is no holding back, either. It was illusion.

Knowledge is everywhere, power is everywhere. And we are all of it, each one of us. That is so because we are everything. But here, in this place........in this dimension of being, feeling, knowing, touching...... we have chosen to be simply be something. That expression changes from moment to moment. And then it lasts for just a moment. While it lasts, it seems that this is all we are. That is the gift of physical life, and it is a tremendous gift. We are snapshots of physical experience and sacred circumstance! Enjoy it, relish the idea, and embrace fully who you perceive yourself to be.

Whoever you are, right this moment.......you're beautiful! You make the Oneself complete. If you could do more you would do more. But here in 3D, in this moment, this is what you have chosen to portray. Whatever you're doing, however you are doing it, you're doing the best you can do. You always have and you always will. And it is enough.

Spirit Signs - August 2004 By Robyn Johnston

Many of us find ourselves on an accelerated path at this time. We have incarnated at a wonderful time in the history of human existence. Never before has information been able to be shared and received at such a rapid rate.

Its no wonder with the blurr of activity, that many of us find ourselves also lost in confusion. We know that we are supported and we know that there is always divine guidance waiting for us, but sometimes it's easy to forget this convenience.

All beings have to go through this "awakening process". It's mandatory. Its part of the earth experience and one of the ways each soul chooses to grow and transform. The process can be both exhilarating and exhausting. Even those souls that are aligned and following their path are required to come through these checkpoints at various stages in their spiritual development.

One of the first truths to recognize on our journeys is that our world is under quite an illusion. Many people that are feeling out of balance may not realize that the control factor is an issue that needs to be recognized. We are conditioned from an early age to set goals, work hard to make them happen. Sometimes we are introduced visualization techniques to "see" our dreams taking shape. However, we can forget that sometimes when we try to push to make things happen, we actually expend more energy and move the results in a different way. The effort to succeed may be missing a vital component...love. It is the key ingredient to make effort and energy stick together to produce the divine visions.

Along this line, it would be better for us to learn early on that all the pushing and working is sometimes in vain. A much easier path would be to learning to align with our divine guidance. Maybe this is what we should be teaching our young people today. There is a lot less frustration involved and the results are more far reaching and beneficial than putting forth 95% of our efforts and 5% of the divine.

Most of us recognize this concept, I am not revealing anything new! The truth is within us all, loaded within our hearts, yet when we come to earth for this incredible experience, most of us forget. Many authors write of the illusion that the 3D plane holds for us. In this illusion many souls will forget that their spiritual nature is what is most important. Its not our homes, our cars, our bank accounts, our image that make us who we are. We know this and with each passing day, we are going to continue to receive reminders.

I will be writing a month column dedicated to those who, like me, are continually watching and interpreting the signs, the spiritual sings. In reclaiming our spiritual gifts, we must become more aware of the various ways that spirit tries to communicate with us. We may need to reopen some channels, we may need to create new ones, or dust of the ones we've been downloaded with. Spirit is patient, it is not confined to our linear ways. It is my hope and the hope of the person who manages this website, that you will find comfort, guidance and direction. May your path be filled with bliss, and may your Spirit Signs, be readily discernable!

Fabulous Feng Shui - Vol. 1 By Robyn Johnston

Most of us have heard of the Old West Trail. There are lots of famous trails, Lewis and Clark Trail, the Oregon Trail, even the Chisolm Trail have wound their ways into history. But the most famous trail of all is likely to be one your even more familiar with, in fact it can be seen every day, you live with, the ever popular, not-very-loved, Clutter Trail. That's right, in every home and business across America, this trail crisscrosses the lives of virtually every human in existence.

Although some people are very aware of this trail and its dangerous pitfalls, sidetracks and detours, even more of the populace is oblivious to its stagnating effects on their environments and lives. Yes, the Clutter Trail is one to be recognized, dealt with and freed from obstacles so that our favorite pioneer, healthy chi, can flow freely through our spaces. Its potential to deliver health, vitality, energy and fresh opportunities to our doors is noticeable and worth the effort.

If you've ever walked into a cluttered home or office, many of you may be aware of the inner impulse to run away! We all have built in "clutter radars" some of us have theirs tuned up a little higher. There are even certain personalities that naturally attracts clutter and believe it or not, they will say that they like it. Ok. I am not one to judge so whatever works for each individual is fine with me!

However I have a feeling that sometime down the road, the 300 piece tea pot collection or the basement full of old magazines will eventually begin to zap and drain the vital chi of the home. This is sometimes when I get the "please help, I can't stand this any more!!!!"

The first concept to understand about clutter is that there are two primary forms, active and passive. Active clutter is the chaos that develops out of the creative process. Consider a person who is a wood carver. In order to be successful, artisans usually find that they loose themselves in the flow of their creativity. Wood chips flying everywhere, sawdust filling the area, noise, activity, drive!When one is in the flow, the creative energy bursts fourth helping to produc a masterpiece! The finished product, say an adorable little bear that looks very real, has been conceived, carried and birthed from its original form of an old tree stump. Here active chaos was needed to produce such a lively piece. If the artisan would have paused to "clean up" along the way, the creative energy might have been tampered with, thus impeding the flow of inspiration.

There comes a turning point though once the masterpiece has sprung fourth. Does one take the time to clean and tidy up the area, paving the way for future inspirations to spring fourth? Or does one go to the kitchen to grab a bite, then read the mail, then start a load of laundry, then water the flowers, feed the dog, grab another bite...?

Active chaos, turns to passive, when it has been left for a period of time. Though many don't realize the dangers, the stagnant energy permeates the space, eventually leading to feelings of low motivation, no drive, a desire to be away from the mess. Its not just large projects either. One of the most famous forms of passive chaos happens to be the paper trail. Magazines, books, newspapers, letters, though small, will eventually contribute to the overall feelings of stagnation if they are allowed to
remain.

I must remind you that it isn't just in the form of low energy either. In feng shui, such chaos translates to other areas of your life and relationships as well. New opportunities may be passing you by without you even knowing it! Friends and neighbors that you need to support you may not be as noticeable. Bills might get lost, causing more stagnant energy, hurt feelings and confusion.

Our environments are our windows to the outside world and reflections of who we are at a particular moment in time. If we want to change something about our life, one of the easiest places to start is our homes! We can clear, cleanse, ground, bless and balance any part of our lives, by taking stock of what we have placed around us. Are you in healthy, loving relationships? Do you enjoy your career or is there something else you would like to be doing? How is your health and the health of your family? What do you most want to be known for? Are you trying to learn a new subject? If you are experiencing blockages, look to your home and identify the areas that are out of balance. Those places that are forgotten, seldom used and honored or those filled with clutter are usually prime areas for precious chi to stagnate.

The easiest way to eliminate the old Clutter Trail is to deal with it immediately! I usually sort my mail right at the post office. Looking at the waste paper basket, it looks like others do that too! I have created a place in my office for correspondence, and one for bill paying. This is all. I have two small corkboards the keep ideas, or services handy that I may be interested in. Once they fill up, I take the time to see if there are any ideas, services or relationships that have lapsed. I say a little blessing for them and into the recycle bin it goes.

I also limit myself to a small two drawer file cabinet. When I put in something new, I usually come across several things that can go out. My motto is to keep it as simply as possible. Offices are havens for clutter and paper. Anchoring the energy is vital so as often as you need to, be sure to tidy up, check in and release what is no longer supporting you. Have a plan of how you want your Clutter Trail to flow. Energy movement is very similar to water, it will follow the path that it's in, it will take the shape of the container it's given. Like water, it can stagnate if it stays in one place too long, turning stale and lifeless. Apply this vision to your space and witness the results!

All trails are fun to follow, if you adopt the right attitude before you follow them. Most paths are filled with hidden challenges and wonderful rewards. The Clutter Trail can be this for you as well. Challenge yourself to watch for passive chaos, root it out of its hiding place, dust it off and keep on going. You will be rewarded with a much clearer view of your sunset!

"Never run after 'bargains' with the idea of saving money. This does not mean that you shall tamely submit to robbery or extrotion, but do not seek that which is cheap. To seek that which is cheap is to express the fear that you will become poor if you buy that which is good and which is sold at a fair price. You cannot afford to put yourself in the attitude of fear, of being afraid to get the best, of being in the class of those who cannot afford the best. Do not spend money for ostentatious display, but get the best for looks and service.".

Featured Artist Troy R. Bishop

I began creating art in the early 80's, initially as illustrations for my writings. My computer art began in the mid 90's. The inspirations and insights in my work are grounded in my own inner light and in the light shared by others. The URANTIA Book has had the greatest influence on the construction of my personal view of reality. Much of my digital art is inspired directly or indirectly by The URANTIA Book and by my own personal experiences.

I style the genre of my art as "transcendent." It's difficult to explain just what I mean by this, but it might help if I explain what transcendent art is to me:

• A multilevel reality with many views and many visions.
• An expanded vision of the cosmic universe.
• A doorway to the many levels of reality within and around us.
• A greater awareness of the expanded realm of Infinite Deity.
• A touch on the soul speaking of the relationship of all living things.
• Bringer of a resolve to be true to the greater things opened up to me.
• Transformation to higher communion and relationship with the Creator of All.

Movie Alert: The Notebook By Stephen Simon

Hi To Our Worldwide Spiritual Cinema Community!!

Sometimes, a great love...

For the last several years, there has been a fascinating trend in love stories that I first detailed in my discussion of Sleepless in Seattle in my book:

"I have always found this to be one of the most uplifting and beautiful love stories I have ever seen. For everyone who has loved and lost, the powerful message of this movie is a great comfort and inspiration.

Without saying it specifically, it raises a fascinating issue about soul mates. What if we don't have just one?

I know that will raise some hackles with other incurable romantics such as myself, but it's a question worth asking, particularly in light of the enormous popularity of both Cast Away and this film.

In Sleepless, Sam loved his wife, had it perfect, and she died. He was sure that he could never "grow a new heart". He was wrong. How is that? Are we not saying to ourselves here that the concept of just having one soul mate may indeed be true for some but not for others?...True love, like lightning, can strike more than once. That's a beautiful and encouraging message for anyone who has loved and lost."

The Notebook presents the other side of that coin.....

Sometimes, a great love...seems just fated.....The minute two people lock eyes, the tumblers instantaneously fall into place and they just know they want to be together forever. Sadly, for many of those couples the "forever" only lasts for days or weeks or even a few years, but it does end (such as in The Way We Were and others). For a few people, however, "forever" means exactly that....obstacles, challenges, time and distance be damned---the love survives and blazes brightly throughout their lives.

It is that fated and inevitable "forever" kind of love that breathes passion into the core of the beautiful and poignant film version of The Notebook, based on Nicholas Sparks' novel.

Set primarily in the 1940s, the film's love story revolves around two teenagers (Noah and Ally) who meet and fall in love (maybe this phrase should be changed to "rise in love"?) during one idyllic summer, only to have Ally's parents split them apart. They both go their separate ways until .......

I can't tell any more of the story without ruining some of the surprises in the film and that I don't want to do; however, there is one aspect of the film that I do indeed want to highlight. By doing so, I will be revealing something about the plot. Although it is something that most of you will connect very quickly in the film anyway, I do want to caution those of you who want NOTHING to be revealed that you SHOULD STOP READING RIGHT HERE!...and maybe save this ALERT until after you see the film.

OK?...for those of you still with us, there is something unique and powerfully moving about the "bookends" of the film. James Garner and Gena Rowlands (who is actually the mother of the director of the film) play the elderly version of the young lovers in the film. Garner is reading the story of the two young lovers to Ally in a rest home because Ally suffers from dementia and cannot even remember who he is, or who her children are. Although their relationship is not revealed immediately, it doesn't take long to figure it out and the poignancy of the situation provides a powerful subtext to the love story.

More often than not, screen love stories focus on the "getting there" but very rarely illuminate the "being there" and even more rarely--the "having been there." There seem to be a lot of people who are enamored with falling (rising) in love but somewhat lost at the "maintaining it" part, yes? (I hear a lot of you out there murmuring--"a lot of people"?---it's a damn epidemic!)

What makes this aspect of The Notebook so notable and so laudable is that the pure sexual chemistry between the young lovers is so fierce and overpowering for them both that it is wonderful indeed to actually witness how that facet of their love evolves as they enter their "twilight years". This is the rare film that really shows a wider panoply of love, from youth through some maturity and then to old age, and that odyssey is one of the many reasons why I recommend the film so highly.

On a weekend when Spiderman 2 broke attendance records everywhere (and is good fun, by the way) and Fahrenheit 9/11 continued its controversial and torrid run (more than $60 million in 10 days), it was wonderful to "put in the clutch" and watch a truly old-fashioned (in the best sense of that word) and engrossing love story for 2 hours on a hot July afternoon.

For those of you who are attracted to the film, I think you will have a wonderful time.

With gratitude,
Stephen Simon

Astrological Influences for August

The following information is provided by the Jeff Jawar and the New Moon Report. Please see the end of the article for a link to his wonderful website!

The New Moon in Cancer comes late in the sign, representing the crossing currents of ending and beginning. Nostalgia is to be expected now, as well as a wistful yearning for the way things were, even if they never really were that way. This lunation is about being more aware of present feelings, and using them to fuel future growth. We don't honor the past by repeating its limited choices or celebrating our illusions about it. The real self-nurturing of Cancer is not about holding on, but about moving forward.

The heart leads with the New Moon in Leo. Begin with the child within; finding joy for yourself is the first step to being able to share it with others. Don't be humble, but honor your ego, your personality, your name, and the face you see in the mirror. Yes, you're more than that, much more, but refinement and reason come later. This is the season of the Self, when the pathway to spirit is personal. Pleasure is not an indulgence now, but vital fuel to sustain hope and growth for the months and years ahead.

Because Jeff sends these out during the New Moon, the rest of the month isn't revealed until later, so I will email the rest to the Newsletter's mailing list when I get it.

August Monthly Report
By Ron & Robert Baker

The final month of this quadrant is when things will truly begin to stabilize your purpose. This will be determined by the specifics of your choices – as you take responsibility for the inner guidance and motivation that has been built. It can be a powerful month of manifestation in form in your life.

This can also be a month of clear movements and direction – related specifically to your choices. There will also be an overall expansion that you will experience definitely in your body in these four months. You may start to sense that what creates harmony is based on making consistent choices in your life.

You will also find the upper chakras joining together, deepening a sense of truth in how you make the choices that become important to you. This may also create symptoms of fever, aches and pains that are temporary. Some may even feel a burning in the heart, wondering if you are having a heart attack. This is the heart preparing for the radiatory light of the soul in a very real way in the physical.

You will need to take care of your physical bodies in deeper ways during this time. You will be quite aware where you are not doing this already. This may be a time when you go into some real fear as you go through a great deal of physical symptoms, such as a feeling that your head is exploding.

There will be pulsations on the sides of the head, as a circle of minor chakras is activated around the crown chakra. This will create a sense of vastness, which may be scary or disembodied at times to begin.

The bottom line is that you will discover more clearly than ever which choices are serving you and which ones no longer serve. You will be constantly evaluating anything that conflicts between attachments in the outer world versus the rising inner truth. You may find yourself making many new choices. It can be unsettling at times, like you don’t have any real consistent ground to stand on or rely upon.

New forms in the world will be taking place, for the good of the whole of humanity. For instance, there will be more discovery in breaking the DNA codes.

By the end of the month, there will be a greater sense of grounding and consistency beginning to take place. You will also have a greater sense of clarity about your soul purpose, guided by your inner truth.

So we suggest you begin to live based on your deepest truth NOW, as you prepare for these four months. Learn to listen to the quiet and calm voice of your heart. Otherwise, you may find it a very unsettling four months. If, however, you do listen, you will find a greater sense of excitement and trust in your higher will. This can also create deeper purpose in your relationships, with clearer decisions and commitments. You will begin to see your impact in the world in a clearer way as well.

This final month will be a constant measuring of the inner and the outer. You will be touched deeply by certain things, as well as a sense of deep purpose. You will likely feel anticipation as well, sometimes questioning your old choices in large ways. This will be a time of personal negotiation. To thine own self be true!

These are the primary strokes that you can expect in the second four months of 2004.

His life is now dedicated to educating and inspiring others to tap deeper layers of personal potential and self-empowerment.

The following information is excerpted from the New Millennium Being - An Astro report by Gururattan Khalsa. To view the report in its entirety please click here.

The Sun enters Leo party territory July 22 at 4:50 AM PDT and stays through August 22 at 11:53 AM PST when it moves into Virgo terrain. The FULL MOON in AQUARIUS is JULY 31 at 11:06 AM. PDT (6:06 PM GMT). The LEO NEW MOON is AUGUST 15th at 6:25 PM PDT (August 16th - 1:25 AM GMT)

The liberating, open-hearted Leo energy is abundantly shining on us. Mercury (how we think and communicate) has been in Leo since July 5th and will remain through July 25th. Mars (how we direct our energy) entered the Leo party June 24th and will stay through Aug 9th. There is a short, but powerful window available to us to strengthen our inner heart light.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we are enjoying the summer Sun and feel more outwardly expansive. In the Southern Hemisphere, the long nights of winter will give you the time to be alone and the motivation to kindle your inner fire.

CANCER PREPARES THE INNER GROUND

Cancer reminds us of the importance of returning to our fertile inner waters, where our wisdom resides and from which our creativity blooms. While the Sun is in Cancer, we turn our senses inward to find and cultivate our inner sanctuary. We lovingly take care of our emotions so that this vital energy is not consumed in anxiety and stress. As we become more peaceful inside, we gather power. The more supportive and nurturing our inner container, the more our primordial essence energy becomes available to us.

The more inner peace we feel, the more we are ready for Leo’s hero’s journey – the quest for the Grail, our true Self, our heart and indeed our soul! Leo is associated with the Sun. Leo teaches us that each of us is a star with our own inner light, which both guides us and shines out into the world. Leo reminds us that we each have our own unique role to play and gifts to offer in this world.

While the Sun is in Leo, we are driven to find the inner star that guides us. We find ourselves asking -- Who am I? What makes me special? How do I shine in the world? To find out we must discover what opens our heart, what illumines our light, and what we have come to this world to express.

YOU ARE A STAR

When our unique star quality, our personal inner sun shines, our innate enthusiasm for life makes us vibrant and radiant. We are able to express ourselves with ease and self-confidence. Apologies disappear and reticence recedes. We feel special. Our projection is pure and clear – “Here I am! I am me! Who I am makes a difference in the world.”

Leo teaches us that there is no need to prove ourselves or to try to get adulation. Although the immature lion indulges in precisely those insecure, egotistical behaviors, the mature lion learns that we simply have to know how to be comfortable being ME. From our unapologetic experience of Self, Leo requires that we use our vital energies to create something beautiful and significant. Leo is the second fire sign. So beyond the excitement about being alive that Aries awakens in us, we get in touch with our creative juice, our inner inspiration and our desire to make our contribution.

The key concepts associated with Leo include -- joy, spontaneous self-expression, creativity, risk-taking, passionate love, children, toys, pets and the pleasure of being alive. Leo energy opens our heart. We want to love and be loved.

The highest expression of Leo, however, goes beyond the search for attention and love. When we truly open our hearts, we realize that WE ARE LOVE. We enjoy sharing love spontaneously whether there is an object to receive it or not. We can do this because we love ourselves!!

While the Sun is in Leo we are invited to work with our fire energy and to examine how we use it. Do we use our fire to warm, inspire and enliven or is our fire energy consuming us through stress, anger and the desire to dominate, hurt or get even? If our fire energy is extinguished we will feel depressed, bored and dissatisfied. The manic/depressive cycle is also a fire dysfunction. If we continuously direct our fire energy outside ourselves and use it to be entertained and to get attention, we eventually feel drained and then have to recuperate and regenerate. One of Leo’s principal lessons is to learn how to direct our fire inward and use it to light the flame of our own heart. When our internal heart connection is stable, our energy is stronger, more consistent and less prone to ups and downs.

IDENTIFY HOW YOU RESIST BEING FULLY ALIVE?

To cultivate our fire energy, we need to examine how we resist being fully alive. How do we keep ourselves from optimally enjoying life? Here are a few ways to start your own self-investigation:

1. Do you let yourself be consumed by obligations and resign yourself to drudgery?

2. What and how much do you believe you deserve in life? To what extent do you think you deserve to be happy?

3. What is your level of self-worth? How much do you truly appreciate who you are?

4. What “should nots” and forbidden territory limit your dreams and aspirations?

5. Do you delay gratification for later in life?

6. Does your life feel like all work and no play?

7. How much of your time is spent on what you NEED to do, vs. of what you want to do? Note if what you need to do and want to do are the same. The extent to which they are the same, the more contentment you should feel.

8. Can you be really honest about what you truly want?

9. How much do you dare to ask for what you want?

10. What are you denying yourself that you really want?

Now penetrate below the specific answers to the above questions, and identify the thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that are keeping you from enjoying life and having fun. Which of the above do you really believe? On the other hand, what beliefs are you operating from that, with honest examination, you really don’t believe are true?

Some of the most common beliefs that control our fun factor and prevent peace of mind include:

(1) Life is a struggle. No pain, no gain.

(2) I have to work hard and exert a lot of effort to accomplish anything.

(3) I am all alone and responsible for the world, which rests on my shoulders.

(4) If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.

The point is to examine how these beliefs can and often do sabotage your best and highest intentions by disconnecting you from your heart, the power of Grace and the possibility of serendipity. What is preventing you from relaxing enough, after you have done you part, “to let go and let God.” What is creating the stress and negative thoughts? How are your body, emotions and mind sabotaging, instead of supporting you?
