It Is Time To Lighten Up a message from Archangel Michael transmitted through Ronna Herman

Beloved masters, never forget for a moment that each of you is a keeper of the Sacred Flame of Creator Light. Your radiance may be dim or blaze brilliantly, but you cannot extinguish the Life/Light within your Sacred Heart. You were designed to be a Bearer of Light which contained the refracted Rays of Creator Consciousness, and you were programmed to go forth and take part in the creation of the multi-universes and all therein. It was always intended that you would have access to all the virtues, attributes and qualities of the Supreme Creator and the ability to reach inward and outward in order to tap into the primordial life substance needed to manifest anything you could imagine or desire. Never forget that you are a Spark of the Divine and a beloved Sun (son or daughter) of the Supreme Creator and our Father/Mother God. We see your radiance or lack thereof, and many of you have ignited the Creator God Cell within so that it is burning brightly and you project an aura of Love/Light wherever you go.

From your point of view, you have been disconnected from the Sacred Fire of Creation and left to your own devices for many hundreds of thousands of years. You have felt that you were being tossed about by the whims of fate and controlled by those you thought were wiser and more powerful than you. We have told you that you have reached the deepest levels of density as your Divine Self was fragmented to the limits allowed by universal law; however, you have always been connected to the many facets of your Higher Self and to your God Ray.

You did not make the journey out into the great void alone. In every sub-level of every dimension there were angelic guides and teachers assigned to you. Their sole assignment has been to guide, guard and protect you, and to inspire and assist you as you journeyed out into the unknown. You have always had a Divine schematic encoded within your DNA which detailed your ultimate mission and also a homing device that would show you the way back to your lofty estate in the realms of Light.
You have had many teachers, guides and helpers along the way and, yes, you left them behind as you journeyed down through the multi-dimensions, and you are also meeting many of these wonderful mentors/teachers/friends as you reverse the process. Envision billions of “way stations” scattered throughout this universe which were strategically placed in every sub-level of every dimensional environment whether it be a star system, galaxy, solar system or planet.

A legion of angelic helpers bearing all the attributes of Creator-consciousness, along with representatives from the archangelic kingdom, including those from AA Metatron, the many Lords of Light, which included many from the lineage of Lord Melchizedek, as well as many Great Beings you are not familiar with, were assigned to these way stations. Just as you experienced in your years of formal schooling on Earth, some of these teachers/guides were assigned to you at every level along the way, and just as it has been designed in your material world, your heavenly teachers do not accompany you to the next level (whether you are on your way into density, or traversing the path upwards into the refined realms once more), they stay behind and you are assigned new guides and teachers appropriate for that particular level of expression/experience.

One major exception to this is that you were assigned two guardian angels who have stayed with you throughout your many incarnations on Earth. They are a part of your vaster self, or fragments of your Divine Self who have never incarnated in the physical. They agreed to remain in the higher realms to assist you in remembering your true identity as you sank into the distortions and illusion of the lower dimensions. They are always with you to guide, inspire and protect you within the limits allowed by universal law. Their path is inexorably tied to yours, and their radiance and vibrational frequencies increase along with yours. There are special times when they are allowed to intercede such as in near-fatal accidents when someone should have vacated their physical vessel due to the severity of their injuries, but they miraculously survive. Your faithful guardian angels are responsible for many of the miracles in your lives, and for smoothing the way in seemingly impossible situations. The more attuned you become to your guardians, the more they can assist you. They cannot eliminate your karmic lessons; however, they can assist you in resolving many stressful situations with ease and grace if you have gained the wisdom from a negative experience and your intent is pure.

Also unique to these times is a Divine dispensation decreed by our Father/Mother God to make available to you a myriad of angelic helpers from throughout this universe. Some years ago, I offered each of you four angelic helpers from my Legions of Light. These are powerful Beings from the far reaches of this universe who have been assigned to Earth to assist you in the miraculous evolutionary process you are in the midst of. How many of you have taken advantage of this gift and unprecedented opportunity? Not nearly as many as we hoped. You must ask, beloveds, for the law of free will is still in effect in most instances.

Once more, I offer you this wondrous gift. We implore you to take advantage of this opportunity, for it will speed up the ascension process and make your journey much easier. If you are willing, I will assign to each of you four beautiful angelic beings, but you must ask for this gift. These are more powerful than any other of the myriad of angelic helpers you have assigned to you, as these beloved angelic warriors will come to you at my request. There will be two with predominant feminine energies and two with predominant masculine energies to serve you. I assure you, THEY ARE REAL—as real as anything you can touch in the physical realm. Give them assignments, ask their names and allow a sense of their personalities to emerge as you attune to them with your inner senses. Direct them to assist you in every endeavor, whether it be abundance, health, organization, protection, creativity; there is no limit to what they can do.

The more you interact with them, the more real they will become and the more you will see how helpful they can be. It is time for you to receive some of the rewards for all your patient endeavors, all your trials and tests. Gradually, we are resuming our proper relationship with you, with all humanity. We were not meant to be separated or divided. It was intended that you would be able to interact with us telepathically, even lift your Spirit into the realms where we reside and spend time with us and receive succor.

Allow us to review some of basic guidelines from the past to assist you to more fully awaken the master within as you en-LIGHTEN yourselves and help to LIGHTEN UP the world around you:

•Strive to maintain balance within your physical, mental, emotional and etheric bodies. Any distortion in any area of your physical Being creates disharmony and discomfort or chaos at some level.
•It is no longer acceptable to withdraw from the world in order to follow your spiritual path. You must walk among the masses as a master of Light, and share your radiance and your wisdom with those around you.
•Become more conscious of your thoughts, feelings and intention. Allow negative thoughts to flow through your consciousness like misty currents, observing but not claiming them as your own nor allowing them to affect your sense of well-being.
•Initiate positive change in your attitude and in your life, instead of reacting to negative situations around you after they have manifested.
•Take an inventory. How have you changed over the past few years, and what changes would you like to initiate in yourself and around you in the near future?
•What kind of world do you perceive for yourself in five years? What must you do to manifest the highest outcome? What can you personally do to make the world a better place?
•Acknowledge, honor and respect the Spark of Divinity within others, no matter how different their beliefs are or how unloving their actions.
•Practice toning, sacred harmonics and sacred breathing often. Each day radiate unconditional love to humanity and the Earth as you breathe in Light and breathe out love.
•Visit your Pyramid of Light/Power in the higher fifth dimension daily in order to draw forth into your physical world. more and more of the refined energies of the higher realms.
•Rise above what is thought to be good or bad. Do not be swayed from what you have claimed as your truth, and do not feel you must justify your beliefs to others.
•Be willing to step out of your comfort zone as a new powerful you strives to emerge. Accept each new challenge with eagerness. Endeavor to learn the wisdom to be gained from seemingly negative situations.
•Practice tele-thought and endeavor to understand the meaning behind negative actions or hurtful words others project toward you.
•Daily practice “Returning to Center,” and “Return to Sender” wrapped in love any negative barbs or energy sent to you by others.
•Allow your inner child to freely express itself through laughter, joy, movement and sound.
•Gradually eliminate those things in your life which do not bring you joy and satisfaction. Be willing to let go of old thought patterns, traditions and outworn beliefs as you upgrade your lifestyle to fit the new en-LIGHTEN-ed you.
•By releasing old conditioning, old half-truths and fallacies, you will begin to expand and fine-tune your awareness, which will allow newer, purer truths to begin to filter into your awareness.
•Dare to dream and to be different, as you leap out of the mainstream and ahead of the masses. Refine your vision for the future and do not allow anyone or anything to deter you.
Become a living meditation so that every waking moment is focused on the highest purpose for yourself, for all others and the Earth.
•Join together in order to create meridians of Love/Light so that your radiant vibrations of refined energy are flowing back and forth amongst you, as well as from you out into the heavenly realms and down into the center of the Earth.
•Assume the lofty outlook of the masters: calmly and lovingly standing by, observing, helping when possible and appropriate, but allowing, not judging, for you know all that is happening is for a reason and has a higher purpose. •Live in the present moment, for that is the only time you can tap into the pure cosmic Life Force energy from which all things are created.
•There is no-thing or no one who can take away or diminish the love the Creator has for you.
•Love comes in many forms. Only you can decide how you will express the precious gift of love. Feel it, experience it to the fullest, and pass it on.

Beloveds, keep a conscious attunement to your Higher Self, for the messages and instructions will be coming to you at a faster and faster pace. The time of waiting and preparation are over. The time for action has been initiated. Allow us to share our Light with you as, together, we fill the darkest corners on Earth with the transforming vibrations of love. I AM Archangel Michael.

Ayurveda & Relationships By Lisa Marie Coffey

Ask anyone and you'll get the same answer: What's the most important thing in life? Love! We want to be in love, and we want that love to last. So how do we go about finding that one person to share our lives with? And how do we live happily ever after with that person once we find him or her?

There are many ways of looking at our compatibility with other people - such as the Mars/Venus theories, and the Love Signs system based on astrology, among others. But long before any of these formulas were even a twinkle in the cosmos, philosophers and scientists in Ancient India devised a system of health care called "Ayurveda" - or "the science of life." Within this holistic system lies everything we need to know about love.

Ayurveda explains the nature of everything in the universe. It is a compelling way of looking at all of life, the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Ayurveda "types" people by "dosha" according to both their physical features and personality traits. Ayurveda tells us how we "tick," and how we relate to the rest of the world, including the other people in it!

It is impossible to go through this life alone. We all have relationships, people in our lives to interact with. The purpose of those relationships is to help us learn and grow. And more than that, the purpose of any relationship is to help us learn more about ourselves and who we really are.

As important as our relationships are to us, how much time and effort do we really put into them? So often we go about living our lives and expect that another person either fits into that picture or doesn't. But we each have needs, and temperaments, and ideas about how we like things to be. When we better understand ourselves, and each other, we can focus on what is important, and what makes a relationship work.

Once you find out your particular dosha and the dosha of the person with whom you are in relationship, then you have access to all kinds of information that corresponds to the two of you.

Love is an amazing phenomenon and the reason that all of us are here. It's worth our study, our attention. Why are we attracted to the people we are attracted to? Why is that we feel as if we "can't help" who we fall in love with? What is the chemistry that draws us to certain people?

We may never figure ourselves out. Or maybe we already have. Maybe the ancient texts are right and all the answers we will ever need are available to us now… we just need to keep learning and growing until we finally "get it."

One thing's for sure. Finding love and connection is one of the most important - and pleasurable! - things we come here to do. My hope is that Ayurveda, with its ancient Indian secrets for keeping love burning bright, will not only help you in your process of self-discovery but enable you to find and nourish the love matches of your dreams.

The Indigo to Crystal Transitional Crisis by Celia Fenn PhD

I have been asked by Archangel Michael to write this article in order to help the many people who undergo the experience of a rapid shift into multi-dimensional awareness, or, the shift from the Indigo state to the Crystal state of consciousness.

There are people who make the transition in a relatively gentle way, but there are many who experience a crisis when this happens. These are usually the people who have chosen to open up to the higher dimensions. This choice is not made logically by the rational mind, but is rather a soul choice made in response to the available transitional energies of the Earth herself. So, sometimes a person is thrust into psychological, emotional and bodily changes for which they can find no logical explanation. This can cause a crisis. My experience has been that orthodox doctors and psychologists are of very little help as they have no idea of what the person is experiencing. When tests come back negative, the person is often considered to be hysterical or ungrounded or even schizophrenic.

This transition often happens to people who have been on spiritual paths and are better equipped to handle the shifts. But, my experience is also that Indigo Children, no matter what their state of spiritual awareness, are particularly vulnerable to the spontaneous experience of transiton or breakthough to the awareness of higher dimensions. I must also add that the use of any kinds of drugs, fairly common among Indigo adolescents, quite often precipitates this transitonal crisis before the person is really ready to deal with the effects.

Below are a list of the symptoms experienced in the process of crisis or breakthrough:

• Sudden extreme sensitivity to people and environments. A person who has previously been sociable and active suddenly finds they can't bear to be in shopping malls or in crowded environments such as restaurants.
• An increase in psychic ability and awareness. This most often manifests in the ability to almost "hear" the inner thoughts and feelings of others. This can be disconcerting if the person imagines that everyone else can also read their thoughts and feelings. Also an extreme sensitivity to negative energy in certain environments or people, including the inability to tolerate certain people who had previously been close.
• This increased sensitivity can lead to panic attacks or anxiety attacks. These can occur at any time, even when the person wakes up at night. Often there is no valid reason for the attack, although the person will often seek to find a reason.
• The person might also find themselves "zoning out" for long periods of time, just wanting to sit and do nothing. This can be irritating to someone who has previously been very energetic and active. This is just the consciousness adjusting to spending more time in the higher dimensions and less time in the 3rd and 4th dimensions. Related to this is the need to rest and sleep for far longer than previously, and a general slowing down.
• Obssessive anxieties about humans being destroyed (by pollution, lack of resources, aliens, technology etc). This is because multi-dimensional consciousness can access all levels of the group mind, including that part which holds the fears and anxieties about the survival of the species. Since the person is often concerned about their own survival, they tend to resonate with this part of the group mind or morphogenetic field.
• An obssessive need to understand what is happening, leading to the mind becoming overactive and the person fearing they are losing it or suffering from "burn-out". Also a fear of going mad and being unable to cope with everyday life in the future. Again, psychologists and doctors seem able to offer very little help.
• Depression for no reason, or related to the crisis state. This is often just the consciousness clearing out old layers of energy that need to be released. It is not necessary to "process" or relive the experience, just allow the body to release the energy. Have patience with the process and know that it will pass.
• Disrupted sleep patterns, often waking up to 3 times a night, or just at about 3am. Again this is just the consciousness adapting to new cycles of activity. Higher consciousness is often more active at night since the lower dimensions are quiet at this time.
• Feeling strange electrical energy waves through the body. The Crystal body is incredibly sensitive, and feels solar and lunar waves, cosmic waves, and energies from the galactic centre. Often these energies are assisting in the process of "rewiring" the body to carry higher energies. Speaking from experience, I know how uncomfortable this can be. But the body eventually acclimates to dealing with these energy waves. You will probably find them to be more intense around Full Moon. The best way I have found of dealing with this phenomenon is to go outside and stand barefoot on the ground and imagine the energy running through your body and into the earth.
• A whole range of physical sensations and experiences, usually related to detoxification. The Crystal body holds no toxins, but allows everything to pass through it. In fact the eventual trick to being Crystal is just to allow everything to pass through and hold onto nothing. The ultimate state of detachment. But at this stage the body needs to release years of "toxic" waste, whether physical, emotional or mental The release is always through the physical body, which presents symptoms such as intense fatigue, muscle and joint pains especially in the hips and knees, headaches, especially at the base of the skull, and neck and shoulder pains.
• Dizziness and "spaciness". This is because you are in "higher" states of consciousness. You need to get used to being at these levels and staying grounded at the same time. These sensations tend to increase with solar flares and full moons as well.
• Increased appetite and putting on weight. This is because the body needs huge amounts of energy to power this process.
• The ability to see beyond the veils. That is, to become aware of spirits, devas,E.Ts and angels as a reality and to communicate with these. This can be very frightening if the person is not accustomed to this kind of other dimensional awareness.

Coping Skills for the Transition

The best advice I can give is to be accepting of the process and do not resist. My own transition has been going on for nearly 18 months. I found that the key was acceptance. I kept hoping that I was going to wake up one day and feel "normal" again. It was only when I accepted that I would never again feel "normal" as I knew it, that I was better able to feel more comfortable in my new space and to cope better. Then you can begin to explore the adventure or the positive side of this new state.
Below are some tips for dealing with the transitional crisis:

• Be at peace with what is happening to your being. You are becoming a Crystal being. Another term for this is a "Christed being", which refers to a mutli-dimensional being with full access to 9 dimensions, and maybe even 13. My experience at this point is that some people only open to 5D, others go through to 6D. If you make it through to 6D then you will probably achieve full 9D awareness in this lifetime, if not in the very near future. What a privilege and a blessing!!
• Be kind to yourself and nurture yourself. Remember, as a Crystal being you carry an equal balance of the "mother" energy and the "father" energy. The mother says, nurture yourself as you would a new-born baby, for in fact that is what you are. You will need time to grow in strength and learn the skills of your new environment. Trust is very important here. I made the transition as a single self-supporting person in my own business with very little resources. I was terrified that my physical state would prevent me from earning enough to survive. But I was held though the process, and still have my home and I have always had enough although there have been some close calls.
• Don't take drugs of any kind if you can help help it. Obviously if you are on medication for your health then you will need to continue. But do not take recreational drugs of any kind, these will aggravate the process and you could get lost "out there" in the higher dimensions. Also try to cope without anti-depressants or tranqulizers, although again if you are on these you will need medical advice and should not just stop them. The best path to take is to use homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, and I have found that Flower Essences are very helpful as well.
• Avoid crowds and crowded places. I have perfected the art of the weekly one hour shopping "blitz" in order to care for my needs while not spending too long in tiring and toxic environments. Gradually you will be able to tolerate more and more exposure to these environments. The key here, of course, is to hold your own peace and harmony so strongly that instead of you being affected by the environment, you in fact affect the environment in positive ways. The Crystal person always holds and carries positive energy, but you will learn to use it in incredibly powerful ways once you have gained your balance and are able to move among people again with ease.
• Stay grounded and centred. This can be very challenging for those who are acclimating to higher dimensional awareness. You will often feel dizzy and spaced. But try to pay full attention to the physical and grounded aspects of life. The key here is to spend time on exercise, walking, food and artistic occupations. Don't spend hours in front of the TV or lost in computer games. These will only serve to increase the ungroundedness.
• Spend as much time as you can in Nature. You will find spending time in fresh air and sunlight will assist to strenghten the new bodies. Also the devas are there to support your processes.
• Eat simply and eat as much fresh vegetables and fruit as possible. I have been told by guidance that brown rice and vegetables are the best kind of food for this new body. However, indulge your cravings - mine have ranged from calamari to chocolate cake. This is not the time to diet. Your body needs huge amounts of nourishment to fuel the processes you are passing though. You may even put on weight, but you will need to accept that this is part of the transition.
• Finally - Celebrate your transition. You are becoming a Galactic human, the next step in human evolution! You are entering into your birthright.
  WELCOME HOME, HUMAN ANGEL.

Creating Your World View By Carrie Hart & Quado

Today we will continue in our Course of Creation. We have focused up to this point on you and what is inside you, teaching you to learn to love yourself deeply, to understand your own perfection, to learn to train your mind to allow only this concept of perfection in and to quiet the voice of criticism and judgment. We then spoke about releasing the past, for this is what forgiveness is, just a gentle release of the past.

And all of this has been focused on you, you and who you are, teaching you to look inwardly as the source of your own goodness and beauty, knowing yourself as the source of your own truth, knowing yourself as the author of your own life, the forger of your own path. And all of this is true.

And now, today, we will begin to focus a bit more on what is around you, so that you can realize not only that you are a precious spark in the great universe, the one and only piece of being and perfection that is exactly like you are, but so that you can also begin to understand the universe as a wonderful place, made of love, filled with love. Today, I would like to focus on all of the help which is there for you, surrounding you in every moment, and discuss how you can learn to call upon that help and turn it toward your own intentions.

And as we do this, remember always that you are the only authority in your life. Nothing I say is ever more important than what you believe in the heart of your own truth. If anything I say, or anything anyone else ever says to you, makes you feel afraid, makes you feel uncomfortable or simply does not feel right, then just set it aside and know that it is not your truth. You are the authority in your life, and the system you build around you, the worldview you have of how things work, is of your own making. You must be deeply comfortable with it. And please, feel free to form your own world view. No, I will take that further. You must form your own world view. For you have had your own experiences, and how it all weaves together into something understandable will be different for you than it is for someone else.

Tolerance also comes from this. First, it comes from allowing yourself to be different than you have been taught and trained to be, allowing yourself to be unique and to have a unique vision of the world. And after you do this, after you give yourself this freedom, then it is a very easy thing to extend it to others. Then it is easy to see where people are held back by their own fears and their early training, and it is also easy to just allow others to have views which are different from yours. Of course they are. You are unique in all of the universe, the only spark with exactly this glow. All you need to do is come from your own internal truth and love, and the rest will flow.

This world is a world of energy. We will try to construct some images which will be helpful to you, but again, you must trust your own view, your own vision, your own feelings of the way things are. And if you have some concepts right now that you like and that make you feel comfortable, then you do not need to abandon those. Nothing I say is meant to tear you from a foundation of love and comfort and safety within. Everything is meant only to get you to abandon fear and doubt and move into love and light.

There are many questions which can be answered, but the one question which will not be answered and which will not be productive for you to follow is the question "Why'? Why are things the way they are? Leave this. I will not make any attempt to answer this question, and if you pursue that path it will only lead you to frustration. You will need to accept that you will not understand this. Just accept it. There is a mystery which will not be revealed, a veil which will not lift. Let it be.

What you wish to learn is how things work, how things are and, importantly, how you can form a system of understanding for yourself, a way to look at the world, which leads you to peace, joy and love. And of course, to faith. For if you form a world view for yourself that makes you comfortable, that holds up to your experiences and experiments, that helps you through the difficult times as well as the joyful times, then you can rely upon it.

Know this: The world means you well. You are in the arms of a benevolent universe made of love. Yes, made of love. You are surrounded by love on all sides. Think of that love as energy. Think of the world as built on the energy of love and light, sparkling all around you. There are waves of energy, forms of energy, flows of energy, all around you. And you, of course, are made of that energy as well.

You, in this physical life, are a manifestation of energy. I would have you think of yourself in at least two parts: the part of you which is eternal and lasts forever, which we will call your soul and your higher self, these terms being interchangeable for our purposes, and then the manifestation into your physical self, which consists of your body, your personality and ego. Your mind is an interesting place, because it is a meeting place of the two. You can allow your mind to be ruled by your ego-personality, that part of you formed during this lifetime and which will end when this lifetime is over, or you can begin to train your mind to reach up into your soul, and to focus into your higher self and your higher direction. We have spoken of this; it is the purpose of meditation and contemplation, to lift your mind up and into the higher self.

And of course, we cannot leave this discussion without speaking of you in yet another form, your highest form, which is where you have no differentiation from the rest of creation. At the highest and widest, at the greatest place of being, you are one with all that is. At this highest and widest place, you are one with the godhead, with all of creation, with the great silence, the great all.

You may have a concept of God which makes you comfortable and you can retain this, of course. But I would ask you to make sure that it is not too external, that it is not an outside authority who judges you and finds you wanting. You are not lacking or wanting in any way. You are perfect, for you are a piece of God, a piece of the one, the all; you are an expression of it.

You may wish to look at God in this way. At the heart of the universe is a force of energy, all pervasive, and it is made entirely of love. Nothing but love. Love expressed as energy, love expressed as light, great and all-encompassing love. And then a little bit of that is manifested out and into you and the other unique forms of energy which exist. You are, at one and the same time, a part of God and yet yourself, in your highest self, in your soul self which is eternal. Allow yourself to imagine this, that you can be both of these things at the same time.

And then, this soul self, this higher self, which is your individual self, has manifested yet another form, which is you in this physical being. And this form is also a part of the soul which is a part of the all, the all which we call God, and all of this exists at one and the same time. And it is true also for every other form of energy around you.

And so you are a manifest form in this physical world, made of energy, particles of light, sparkling in this form, in a form which comes and goes in linear time, in a lifetime which begins and ends. But, at one and the same time, you are also your soul self, and in this form you are outside time and never end. And if you reach up into that soul self, if you allow that soul self to pour down into you, if you welcome in the love, the pure love which is your soul self and let it fill this body here, then you are reaching up closer and closer to the true self, to the true being that you are. And if you do this, if you fill yourself with your own loving truth and if you then grow closer to that eternal you, then you can just touch the very edge of the great all, the God that you are, the God that is infused in each little particle of light which makes up your mind and body. And when you do this, in that moment of deep silence, in that great gift which is yours to have if you will allow it, even if it lasts for only one fraction of one nanosecond, then you will know the pure love and joy which is you, which is all, which is God, which is in everything surrounding you.

And I would have you look upon fear and doubt as merely the absence of this light and love. Look upon the manifested world here as created in a void; and where the void exists, fear and doubt can exist, as darkness, as shadows. But where you shine out your light, where you drive fear and doubt from within you and shine out with who you are, with your own truth and being, then fear and doubt are driven from the world around you, for they are only darkness, the absence of light, and have no power over you. Darkness cannot defeat the light. It cannot, for it is nothing except absence of light. Know this and know your power.

And know that you have a job to do here. And your job is to let your soul self pour down into this manifestation, to learn to know your truth, to fill yourself with the love and light which are you, pulling that energy in from the universe and letting it fill you, until you are a great beacon of light and love. Do this and the world around you will begin to shift and change. Do this and join with others who are doing this, and you can light up great expanses of the world.

And now that you see who you are and the world in which you live, now let us talk about other forms of energy which are manifested differently. You, in your soul self form, have chosen to manifest this physical being. Do not ask why, simply accept this. And there are others around you who have obviously chosen the same. Some are full of light and love and some are covered by the shadow of fear and doubt, obscuring their light. But they are all manifestations of love, even though their light may be dim.

But there is more in the universe than this. There are also other forms of energy such as I. I, Quado, am a form of energy which has chosen not to manifest in physical form, but yet to enter into this dimension more fully. I am here, existing side by side with you in this dimension, level, realm or whatever you care to call it, because I wish to help you to find your own light. That is my purpose, to help you find your own light. My purpose is not to have you rely upon me as an authority, to lead you or to influence you to be anything other than yourself. My purpose here is to help you to learn to shine, to be who you are. You may pay attention to me or you may not. You may turn to me directly, or through Carrie, or not at all. It is entirely up to you. But I will be here, shining among you, passing on what guidance I can, and all in the form of love and energy.

A brief word about names and about genders. I am pure energy. As such, I do not truly have a name. And as such, I certainly do not have a gender. However, since Carrie was open to me and my energies, I offered the name Quado to her mind and I also allowed her to feel the energy as she would, and she felt it as a warm masculine presence, because that was a good, loving connection for her, to welcome my energy as not dissimilar from her father’s loving energy.

Know that there is a particular form of energy which has manifested in this realm in which you live that is I, and Carrie calls me Quado and thinks of me as a male presence, and it may be useful for you to do the same, in that it may help you to connect to the same form of energy. But know also that this is your choice, and if you call in my energy to you, you may make of it what you will. That is the way of it.

For in the end, spirit guides, angels, power animals, all of this is just metaphor for what you cannot understand. In societies without concepts of angels, they use animals to call in energy forms. It is all the same. You feel, and rightfully so, that there is powerful energy outside of you, swirling through this dimension, and you wish to call it to you and give it some sort of understandable form. And this is right.

Your mind, when it moves up into the spiritual realms, has great power, vast power, and you can call energy forms to you. And in order to call them to you and make use of them, it is very useful to have a mental image and perhaps a name. And so, on the one hand this is just metaphor, but on the other hand, it is deeply powerful.

In fact, metaphor is of ultimate power, for is it the mechanism your mind uses to summon its power, to channel it and make it work.

For a moment, look at the world about you. Realize that advertising and politics use metaphor and symbolism constantly. You are manipulated by it, bombarded with it, because it is very powerful. The right image, the right symbol, the right metaphor, and you can mobilize people to live or die for your cause.

And if you will but ignore the symbols and manipulations which surround you in your society, and which are just projections of fear meant to control you, and build instead your own system of being and thinking based on metaphors of your own choosing, metaphors and symbols which pull toward you the forces of love and light, then you will increase your power immeasurably.

It is for this reason that rituals can be powerful. Ritualizing something is the same thing; it is just giving the energy a name, giving it a symbol, and infusing it with power through your focus and attention. All spiritual practice is a form of ritualization. Just make sure that you are calling in love and light, not fear, doubt and darkness. And if you are doing this, if you are consciously calling in love and light and letting it fill you, then any ritual you develop is good. Anything you like to do, if it is lighting candles or talking a walk in the woods, is good if it works to fill you with love and light. If you like to pray to God, that is good. If you like to call in Jesus or Mary, that is good. If you like to call in me, to ask me to surround you in a warm blanket of love, that would be my pleasure as well.

There are many forms of powerful, loving energy surrounding you at all times. Use us. We are here to help you.

Jesus was an interesting case, because he went a step further, actually manifested down into physical form for a time to make people more aware. But he is here and accessible to you in a highly charged energetic form. And the characteristics of his energy are those of compassion, deep love and forgiveness. A highly merciful and penetrating love form that can be yours to help you, if you care to call it to you.

And again, if you wish to develop certain rituals to call in what helps you, to call in angels and specific guides, that is good. Anything that you do which helps you to focus and turn loving energies to your use is a good thing.

Fill yourself with love. Fill yourself with faith. Reach out and recognize that you are surrounded by love. There are helping energies all around you. Learn to trust this. Know that the angels speak in a whisper. Fear yells. That is why it is so important to silence fear, to quiet your mind. Because the energies around you are subtle. They are deeply powerful, but they are not what you are used to in the physical world. It takes a different way of sensing, like peripheral vision.

And so, this week, open yourself up. If you suspect that there is help around you, open up to it and know that it is so. If you feel loving presences around you, know that this is so. You are deeply loved. There is help at every turn. You are never alone.

But do not ask for something loud and obvious. It is all very subtle. Subtle, but yet powerful, in its own way.

The forces of loving energy do not work in the ways you have been taught. You cannot lay out a project plan and ask them to achieve the milestones on schedule. No, it does not work that way at all. What you can do, is fill yourself with love and then ask that all of the forces in the universe be marshaled to your side, to help you become the most loving and giving expression of self that you can possibly become. Ask that the forces around you help you to turn your life away from fear and doubt and toward love and faith. Ask that they might help pull toward you events and people which will take you into the best possible expression of yourself, the greatest and most loving expression of self that you can possibly achieve in this lifetime.

Ask them to open up a path before you that you might walk. Ask that loving and caring people might walk toward you, and that they might share with you gems of wisdom which will help you on your path. Then listen. Listen as the passing stranger utters a sentence which speaks to your heart. Pay attention as you suddenly pick up a magazine which normally would not interest you and read the words which will help you to take that next step. Listen to the whispering of angels as they direct your feet to turn down a new street, to speak to a new person.

Quiet fear and doubt and begin to sense in a new way. You are being directed all the time, by your higher self and by these other outward energy forms. And all you need to do is open your heart to love, open your mind to light, and step out in faith. Help is all around you.

Spirit Signs - February 2005 Put 'er in four-wheel drive! By Robyn Johnston

Greetings fellow travelers! This month's newsletter features those of you finding yourselves stuck in mud along your spiritual pathways. When we encounter these conditions on the earthly plane, we often put our vehicles in four wheel drive to get through deep mud and muck. February seemed a fitting month to use four wheel drive, especially where I am writing from!

Spiritual "four wheel drive" is as easy as rewiring our thoughts and attitudes to meet the challenges and obstacles faced, as we ascend from where we are right now to where we would like to be.

How do we know we need to use spiritual 4WD? Usually it is when we find ourselves in the deep mire of past thoughts, action, limitations and beliefs. It can also be derived from the chaos of both inner and outer environments. Emotional issues can clog the spirit, just as clutter clogs our outer sanctuaries. We feel all of this on a soul level. What often results are the undeniable stuck, stagnant feelings that confirm our wheels are spinning, but we're not going anywhere. In feng shui there is no separation of the two. The outer and inner environments reflect one another. To achieve total harmony, both inner and outer spaces must be cleared, cleansed, honored and anchored. If we fail to do this in one part of our lives or another, what results is a feeling of being stuck.

It can also have a suffocating effect or even feelings of urgency. This is how spirit communicates to us that we are on the wrong trail. Others signs are feelings of anger, aggression, judgment, hopelessness, lack of faith, lack of trust, all of which stem from fear. This fear arises in us both consciously and unconsciously due to the belief that we are separate from our divine Source. Many awakened souls and those who are just now awakening will share that this belief is one of the many illusions that humans are conditioned to believe. Often time the three dimensional worlds reflects this. However, to those who take responsibility, those who are consciously choose their realities and learn the great powers they have to manifest what they want and need are the first to share that we have never left God at all. We are leaves on the great spiritual branches that connect us to the trunk, which is our divine life-line, the root of our nourishment.

In order to get unstuck, it's clear that we are going to need reinforcement. We are going to need a great force, or a gentle nudge to bring us from mires of ego to the smooth surface of spiritual truth.

For some being stuck is more subtle, it has in fact, become a way of life and therefore more difficult to identify that they are off the trail their spirit designed. Ironically, many people have followed the "beaten path" only to find that it does not support who they are and what gifts/service they have to offer. The mainstream world has lead them to this point, only to discover that it continues to leave an unfilled, unbalanced state of being.

For me it felt like a great longing, there was something that I knew was inside, waiting to come out. I sensed a deep feeling of missing something, but I didn't know what. Until I looked at the situation, and saw the deep ruts that I had created, I knew that I was not going to make a lot of headway. I had no traction, nothing to anchor to. I realized there was not a way that I could follow both an earth map and a spirit map! I felt like I was on an obstacle coarse of the heart versus the mind. Should I stay with traditional (steady/safe) employment or should I follow my spiritual guidance and delve fully into my role as a spiritual counselor, intuitive guide and healer?

Obviously there was a lot that when in to my decision. I will save the rest of the details for future newsletters! I share this point so that all of you reading this understand that what I write about comes directly from personal experience. How could I be an effective guide, if I haven't done the mud work myself? Experience has always been a real solid teacher for me!

SO, there I was drowning in my desire to follow spirit yet stuck in the belief that the only way to make it was to follow a traditional route that seemed safe. Depending on the trail you wish to follow, you'll need to select a map that best applies to your needs. You'll probably find the guidelines that make one successful in the earthly material world, simply have no application for those in spirit.

Just before being "pulled out" of the mud, people will often feel the final strain of living a less than authentic life. It may get to the point when one feels stifled and suffocated. This is beautifully illustrated in one of the folk tales I used to read with my fifth-grade class. It was about an old woman that was blessed with a special gift of weaving beautiful brocades. When she came upon her true calling and heard the voice of spirit, she willingly followed. She left the demands and obligations of the material world to delve deeply into weaving the brocade of her dreams, much to the disgust of her two oldest, lazy sons. , She confided in her youngest son that, "she must weave the beautiful brocade or die of grief."

This is a good description of how those who are not fully using their spiritual gifts are feeling. Many may not know what direction to go in, or they may feel too stuck in debris to even get started. Some may feel they know what their gift are, but have no idea of how they can be used. Others feel a longing to do something completely different than what they are doing right now, though when you ask what that might be, they come up blank. This is a sure sign that it is time to apply the spiritual 4WD!

Like the old woman, once we begin to follow spirit without hesitation, nothing else matters. We are freed of the old fears and limitations that used to take up so much of our time and conscious awareness. Following the spirit highway offers us a clear path, fresh air and beautiful views. It's the feeling that comes when we've pulled ourselves out of a deep, muddy abyss and taken a nice shower! Refreshment, joy, confidence, renewal, exhilaration We are rewarded with freedom of fear, guilt, doubt, worry. There is nothing that impedes the delightful, majestic being that you are.

So, where's the knob for 4WD? What is the magic button that you push to turn it on? Well, I am glad you asked. It's actually different on every make and model! However, most will find that the right buttons to push are actually on the inside of the vehicle, they can be found on or near the spine and energy therapists refer to them as chakras! These energy centers are the power points are responsible for getting your "spirit vehicle" out of many predicaments!

It is through the heart and thoughts that one is able to gain enough traction to get "pulled out." For some those of you that are really stuck though, its always great support to know that there are many sources
available to help give you a tug (or a push, which ever is more comfortable!)

This assistance may come in the form of books or written words from wise travelers who have gone ahead. It may arrive through a gifted spiritual counselor, meditation, vision, through the trusted advice of a friend or even your own intuitive hunches. Don't discount the wisdom of the children that surround you or those wise pets we're blessed with. Insight can take any form, as long as we are open to it. There are signs all around us, waiting to be interpreted, wanting to guide us out of the mud, and onto clear roads once again.

Can you feel the shift? Great, you are learning how to put your spiritual body in 4WD!

Other signs that indicate when you're "out of the mud" are when you are aligned with spirit, your life takes on an ease that allows you to see things from a higher perspective. Its not that you don't encounter
challenges, but when you are on the clear highways of a spiritual route, it is much easier to see and understand the reason for the challenges. You know that you have invited these challenges; you are choosing to take them on for the sake of further spiritual growth and enlightenment. You are a willing participant and yet, have released the old limitations and fears that impede your growth in the past cycles.

Often the benefits of going through the mud offers four-wheelers much needed experience! If you recognize the trail ahead is steep and difficult, it will assist you in preparing before hand to meet the challenges with excitement and even joy. (Aren't there four-wheel drive clubs, where people purposely try to find challenging uphill grade and live to get mud on their tires?) We can adopt a similar attitude along our spirit path. We are invited to take a front seat on this ever-changing, action packed adventure we call HUMAN LIFE!

So, if you've ran into a little mud lately, there are a vast amount of resources available to you at this time. Be open to exploring new ways of excavating your authentic self through the various holistic modalities. One of the "tow ropes" I can offer is through nine star ki readings. If you are interested in "seeing the road ahead, a nine star ki reading offers an in-depth explanation of where your energies lie and the challenges or support situations that you are surrounded by. For more information, please email me at rjohnst@esu15.org

Happy Trails!

Monthly Energy Report By Ron & Robert Baker

Again, we encourage you to first read the Overview of 2005. Only with that information will this Weather Report make sense to you.

This month will create a heightened awareness of life as it is. You will start to see how you limit, control and define everything in order to feel the illusion of controlling reality. This will bring up your discomfort, particularly when you begin to move out of separation. This may take place as you move about in crowds of people.

You will begin to become sensitive to the common humanity or community that exists. There will also be a sense of expansion that dissipates the will of desiring after things. This is taking place as the higher will of the soul begins to harness the energy of the lower will.

A depth of experience will begin to reveal itself as you begin to relate to other human beings. It will be just a taste of communion, of fusion and oneness. The heart will begin to open for connection to reality. This will be contrasted with a greater sense of awareness to where you are still in attachment to things, people and situations to sustain your comfort zones and descriptions.

In relationships, you will begin to experience greater intimacy, connection and communion if you allow the heart to open and consciously seek ways to relate (not separate). This will bring about an intuitive sense of oneness with other people.

Feelings on a group consciousness level will also be picked up, such as the collective feelings about the recent tsunami event. This can be very moving, as you begin to sense the presence of the soul. This will be the first time that most of you have actually tapped the actual experience of the force of love.
