We are multi-dimensional beings and the fundamental ‘Source’ or ‘Universal Life Force’ energy is reflected through us on EVERY level of our being. This ‘Source’ may be known by many other names: Universal Love, Universal Light, God, The Goddess, The Divine, Spiritual Light, Spirit, Chi, Ki, Prana, Odic Energy, Orgone Energy, Ond…the list is virtually endless.

a message from Neale Donald Walsch
Tuesday, 31 August, 2010 (posted 13 August, 2010)
My dear friends...
Sometimes I get notes from people wondering, first, if there even is a "God," ...
Question: Most spiritual traditions have a strong emphasis on morality. What role does morality play in your teachings?
Eckhart Tolle: The main aim of this
teaching is to transcend the Ego, the Ego being a false sense of self, a
false sense of identity. Morality is important in many traditional
teachings because those teachings have not gone beyond Ego, so they
still function within the framework of the Ego.
Once this state of consciousness operates, external rules and regulations are not really needed anymore, because a knowing of what is right and wrong arises from within you, and you are no longer able to inflict suffering on others because the illusion of absolute separateness between who you are and who another human being is, has disappeared. You are no longer trapped in that illusion, so you know that ultimately, whatever you are doing to another, you are doing to yourself. Most importantly, there is love as the recognition of the other as yourself - the recognition of oneness. Once that is the basis of your life, you don’t need rules or regulations anymore because that arises directly and spontaneously from within you.
One could say that all you need to do is to be in that state of love, which is not conventional love, but the recognition of non-separation, recognition of the ultimate Oneness of all beings. Once that is there, then the right conduct flows naturally from within you. You don’t need to memorize the commandments anymore to tell you what’s right and wrong. The emphasis of this teaching is transcending the Ego, and once that’s done, morality arises from within. The emphasis of this teaching is not on morality because that comes as really the effect of the transformation. It is the effect of the inner transformation. The emphasis of this teaching is not on morality, but on something deeper, out of which true morality flows.

We are going to give you the way to have World Peace and a solution to every crisis you are facing in your life.
Now that we have your attention, we want to remind you of a simple Truth. When the world of appearances is chaotic, there is only one place where you can go to find the peace you are seeking, and that is within your being. You will find yourself being drawn there very naturally when you set your intention to have peace in your life. Peace within you leads to peace on Earth, because your inner peace will radiate into the world around you.
What we are suggesting is not new information but the effects are profound. There are many ways to develop inner peace that have been used for centuries and they are deceptive in their simplicity.
Creating a sacred space in your home can be of paramount importance to begin this process. Set aside a place where you can go every day to develop your “peace muscle,” for indeed, inner peace is a like a muscle that may take practice to develop. Your sacred space need not be elaborate but when you have a clean, uncluttered place to be in, it will help calm your mind very quickly. You may choose a corner with a chair that is comfortable to you or you may prefer a pillow on the floor.
When you have a focal point of beauty, it adds to your practice in a graceful way. Use a flat surface such as a table, or even a box will do. Cover it with an attractive, clean cloth if the flat surface is not pleasing to the eyes. Start with a candle to symbolize the Light of God. Light this candle and ask for Peace to fill the world within and around you. You will offer a profound service to the world when you perform that simple act, as you are increasing the vibrational frequency of energy where you are sitting. This beautiful energy of peace will fill your life.
Flowers on this table are also very soothing, and offer great beauty while they carry the energy of growth, inspiration and a connection to Nature. When you place one flower in a vase next to the candle you have in your focal point area, you are creating a sacred space in your home in which you can sit in peace as you learn to BE.
Allow yourself a moment to do nothing but BE
Learning to BE is an essential component for a happy life. Many structures people have relied on are crumbling, and great change is in process. You will serve yourself, your family and your community greatly when you take time to just BE. This being nature within you is a quieter place that promotes inner peace. It thrives the more you give yourself time in the sacred space you created in your home. Soon, as this quiet space within you becomes more familiar, you will notice yourself feeling more peaceful as you have expanded into your heart. Your happiness begins there within you, not in your outer circumstances. In your sacred space, you fill yourself with the Light of God. Every time you intentionally give yourself time to breathe in a conscious manner, you are breathing in light and allowing Divine Love and Peace to fill every cell of your being. No matter how much time you are able to give to your self, it will create profound change within you.
This sacred space in a quiet corner of your home will become one of your most valuable assets. In the midst of change, you have a place to go where you can feel peace in your heart. Soon you only have to think of your sacred space, and with a breath you will be there in your mind. Imagine how this will affect your life, and those around you. One person centered in the Light of Peace can create a profound shift in the world around them. This person will hold a higher vibrational frequency than others in the normal chaotic world where you have lived for so long. Imagine how beautiful it would be if everyone were able to attain this place of peace within.
A Witness to the World
Development of what has been called the witness consciousness is a useful tool. It prepares you to notice the world around you with more equanimity. When you can temper your responses to outward appearance, you will feel much happier and have more peace in your life. Learning to center your self in this witness place can be a key ingredient to inner peace. You can begin the process by breathing in a more balanced way, even when you are driving. To keep your center, your breath can be an efficient tool.
A Balanced Breath is one where you breathe in the same number of counts on the inhalation that you do on the exhalation. As you do this, you begin to feel a sense of calm as your heart beats more slowly. It enhances your experience when you imagine yourself breathing in golden light with every inhalation, and releasing golden light with every exhalation. This golden light literally carries the presence of the Angels and holds the qualities of consciousness you want in your world. You can be breathing in Divine Love with every in breath, and breathing Peace into the world with every out breath.
And then there are Angels
One asset not to be discounted in order to bring you a sense of inner peace would be the Angelic Dimensions. The Angels are very available in these times of change. Have you noticed the digital clocks repeating 11:11? That is a moment with the Angels, opening a new doorway in your mind where you can send energy in the direction you intend. The Angelic Realms offer qualities of consciousness that people crave in their lives, such as Divine Grace, Peace, Harmony, Love, Clarity and Wisdom. You can invite these qualities into your life and the Angels will strengthen the Light connecting you to these qualities. It is a profound, prayerful way to live. A prayer for Grace does not have to be difficult and wordy, but it does help the process when you give yourself time to receive what you are asking for. Often prayers may be on the fly and sound like, “Help, bring me peace. Quickly. Now!” It is not that this prayer would not be useful, but just imagine what might occur if you had used prayer as an intention in your morning practice. It might sound more like this:
Dear God (Goddess, All that Is, Divine Presence, Spirit, or your personal master teacher),
Thank you for bringing Divine Light into my life. I ask the Angels of Grace and the presence of Divine Love to fill every fiber of my being, so I may have more Peace in every area of my life. I bless my family, my work and my being with this Light and I am profoundly grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
When you add your thanks even before you see the results, this attitude of gratitude increases your receptiveness. You can complete the prayer with the traditional “Amen”, or as a closure, you can say, “So be it,” or “So it is.”
Then stay where you are, and breathe for a few minutes. In these simple ways you are empowering your life. Your prayers become a beacon calling to you the light and wisdom you seek. Your breath becomes a prayerful thought blessing the world. Create a sacred space where you can dwell with the Angels. Ask for the Divine Light to fill you with Grace, as well as all you need to bring you Peace, and then give yourself time to breathe in the blessings being offered you at this time.
When you feel more at peace, breathe out these blessings and send Peace to a world that needs you to be a Beacon of Light. As if you were a lighthouse on a point of land in the vast ocean, the Divine Light you send out into the world shines clearly in the dark night of chaotic times. Your sacred space within and without allows you to do the work of creating more Peace within you, and this creates Peace in your world.
And so it is.

It is hard to belive that it is that time of year again! The Easter week-end is approaching. Here in South Africa it is a four day holiday when everyone "takes off" for the coast for a last celebration of relaxation in the sun before the cold weather sets in for Winter. Last year, at this time, I was in Brazil, and so much seems to have happened to me in the last year. We are certainly changing and transforming at high speed!
But, back to Easter. In the traditional Christian community, it is the celebration of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. But, in reality, it is a reworking of the ancient archetypal story of the death of the masculine principle and its miraculous rebirth and resurrection through the Feminine principle. This story is as ancient as the Sumerians, where the Goddess Innana descends into the underworld to rescue her mortal husband and return him to life, or the Egyptians where the Goddess Isis finds the scattered limbs of her murdered husband, Osiris and conceives a miraculous child called Horus who rebirths the masculine spiritual warrior principle.
So, how did this ancient story become a central part of the celebrations of the Christian year? In the case of the Christian story, there was indeed a masculine and a feminine principle incarnated in Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. They came to the Earth as Avatars to bring the seeds of the New Consciousness, that which we call the Christ Consciousness, to the western world. This was done through the work and teachings of both of them in Israel, and later by Mary Magdalene in France. The Seeds of the Christ Light that are flowering now were laid down two thousand years ago.
So, how did Easter and eggs and rabbits get mixed up with the coming of the Christ Light. Well, Easter is a form of the name of the Goddess, Astarte, another form of the name of Innana, and she was celebrated as the Goddess of Fertility and Creation. The eggs and the rabbits are obvious symbols of procreation, and these were grafted on to the story by the Catholic Church, as it took over Pagan Europe in the name of Christianity. The Catholic principal was to merge the Pagan iconography and symbols with the new teachings. And so the ancient fertility celebrations were connected into the story of the death of Christ and the process of Ascension.
Ascension is the ability to move beyond the duality of the Third Dimension and into the Miraculous flow of Love and Miracles at the Higher Consciousness of the Fifth Dimension. This was taught by the Christ Avatars with their focus on the Heart, Unconditional Love and the Oneness of All Things. But, it also seems fitting that the ancient teachings of the redemption of the Warrior by the Goddess should become part of the Ascension story and that it should be brought into consiousness now. Everything has a purpose and a reason!
In the case of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, after the death of Yeshua in the Holy Land, it was Mary Magdalene as the Feminine principal who carried the Seeds of Light to France and nurtured the Christ Consciousness in the western world, until the time was ready for the "second coming" or the "Ascension" of Humanity to the level of the Fifth Dimension or the Christ Consciousness. The "Child" that was born of their Sacred partnership was a symbolic child, the New Earth Consciousness that would lift Humanity into the Fifth Dimension after a period of darkness.
So, for me, this time of Easter is always a time to give gratitude for the life of Yeshua as the Masculine Christ energy that brought the Seeds of Light. But it is also a time to celebrate the life of Mary Magdalene as the Feminine Christ energy, who took those Seeds to Europe where they were nurtured by those who carried the Light in their DNA and ensured that at the right time the "Child of Light" would be born in the Hearts of Humanity, and that the powerful energies of the "end time" cycles would ensure that the "Child" of the New Consciousness would be birthed as a New Consciousness of Love and Unity.
The Essence of this Easter time, and the story of the Christ energy, seems to me to also be summed up in the Native American term "Right Relationship" or what I would call "Sacred Relationship". This is where the energies flow in perfect Harmony and Balance with Divine Will, so creating Divine Harmony and Joy. As I wrote in an earlier Log, in our lives on this Earth, everything is a matter of Relationship and Partnership! Our lives and our creativity are connected with our ability to co-create with others. To fully enter into the Fifth Dimension means to bring those Relationships into Right Balance and create Sacred Relationship.
In this period from now until 2012, the focus will definitely be on this aspect of our Spiritual Growth and Evolution, finding Harmony, Balance and Right Relationship. This will especially be part of the way in which we create relationships that embody the interaction of the Masculine and Feminine principles.
In the past I have done much work with the Twin Flame energy, which is another way of describing the power of Sacred Relationship or Union between Soul Partners who embody the Masculine and Feminine principals within themselves and their partnership. I found that there was much misunderstanding and distortion in the way people perceived these partnerships. Firstly, many people seemed to think that a Twin Flame relationship was a Romantic relationship that ended in marriage and parenting and happy ever after in the surburban nuclear family image of pop culture. That is probably because our culture is so grounded in the nuclear family economic model that people find it difficult to conceive of a relationship that might go beyond these parameters. The whole idea of the "family" is a matter for the "parenting contract" between those who seek to have children and the souls that desire to incarnate through them, and it is not part of the Twin Flame or Sacred Union. The purpose of Sacred Union is to incarnate the Masculine and Feminine principals as a direct mirror of the Union of the Divine Energies in the Source. This creates a tremendous field of creative power that expresses the Love of the Divine and can bring people into the Awakened state of Higher Consciousness very rapidly. It is a gift from the Divine and should be treated with deep respect and great honor.
Of course, when you enter into a romantic relationship, or a parenting/family contract, these contracts need to also be honored and treated withy deep respect for the gifts within them, and being in Sacred Relationshiop extends to all levels of our lives.
Now, to return to the Twin Flame or Sacred Union Relationship. After people realized that the Twin Flame aspect of Sacred Union was primarily a merging of Soul Energy, there developed also an unfortunate tendency among awakening beings to get "high" on the soul merging energy and to desire to repeat this energy "merging" with as many people as possible. This is, of course, all in divine order. Awakened Beings enjoy merging their soul energies and experiencing the bliss of communion on the deeper levels, but this is also not Sacred Union. It is just a kind of Sacred Family Hug.
Sacred Union is when two Conscious Beings merge their energies at the Heart Center and then extend that energy into the Soul Sphere and Ground it into the Earth Sphere, so that they represent the merging of Divine Love, the Masculine and Feminine principles expressed as Divine, Unconditional Love. The "Flame" that is created, which is called the "Golden Rose Flame", is held in the High Heart of each individual and in the Joint "Heart of Hearts" that is created when the two energies become One with the Divine Heart and create a Sacred Union Light Body that is an expression of the Merging of Heaven and Earth within their partnership.
Yes, this is a wonderful experience! Yes it is becoming available to more and more Conscious Beings at this time of Change and Transformation. But, yes, it also requires commitment and focus and courage. It requires the courage to develop a deep intimacy with one person, and to forgo the "highs" of moving from one person to the next in a series of "non attached" energy mergings that are considered to be Sacred Union, but are empty of the depth and intimacy and grace of true Sacred Union when it is in Right Relationship.
It is not so much a matter of finding the "right" person, but a matter of having the courage and strength to surrender to the Process of Love as it finds you. Love is always seeking for you and asking for you to allow the deep surrender into Sacred Union. It is not something that is difficult and that can only be found by the fortunate. It is a natural process, like breathing, but breathing very deeply so that you expand and grow!
When we forgo the Hollywood/Bollywood formulas for the expression of love through Sex and youthful Beauty and Procreation, we will enter a new level of consciousness where we will flow into the Expression of Love as a Sacred Gift that merges Heaven and Earth in many ways and according to Sacred Contract. For those wishing to experience Divine Sacred Union, it is not a matter of searching for the right partner, but of being willing to "die" in the Will (the masculine principle within) so that you may be reborn through Love (the feminine principle within).
When the Will comes into Balance with Love as expressed through the Soul and Spirit, then you can be reborn to Higher Consciousnes and experience Love on the Higher Octave of the merging of Heaven and Earth. You can ascend into Harmony with the Divine Will and express the Divine Love through Balance and Partnership.
So....here is to Easter.... that time of the year when Sacred Love, Rebirth and our Ascension into Divine Will and Harmony can be Celebrated!

Slowly the beginnings awaken.
The blossoming of the new heart, the emergence of the trusting, wide perspective; the emergence of the new human. A vessel for the Soul, aligned and connected consciously to the host planet, to all-that-is, to the inner desires of the Omniverse, filtered through and attended to by the unique focal point of one specific soul incarnate: YOU.
This awakening is tribal in nature. You become one of a collective. Your ways are refined and innately shared; you pick up on the ways of being of your fellow-tribe members and you identify beyond traditional boundaries. Knowing full well that eventually this tribe will emerge and be a viable and visible social matrix for organizing customs, culture and societies—for now it is simply HOME.
The longer you reside in this new dimensional space, the more you will naturally synchronize your creative actions and your specific “take” on what is needed in such a way as to harmonize and further amplify the beauty of the whole. This thriving of the new earth organisms is innate and magnificently wise. There is a collective knowing of what will benefit the emergent forms you are tipping into and what will allow the energies of all of you –a collective which is continually expanding and amassing—to network and cultivate the social matrix, the energetic matrix the communication matrixes that externalize and manifest your inner belonging.
Normally in a moment such as these, there would be much singing and dancing!
Are you taking the time to celebrate? There have been more and more invitations to recognize this glorious moment of dimensional ascension and to take the beauty of the afternoon, for example, as a liberal and specific invitation to you to go out into delight and be happy~!
There is much to be proud of and anticipating of.
Next to where you are now there is already unfolding a new movement in which your tribe is gathering and setting up camp. You may or may not be involved in an actual physical move. This will come forth and be clear to you. Many of you are already in the places you chose for this existence. Many geographic spaces are being adjusted—by weather, by storms, by fires, by the shifting of the earth’s plates—to allow for a fresh start and even more amazingly! To allow for old energies from within the earth in some areas, to surface and once again swirl and round-up those for whom these energetic blueprints or configurations will be a familiar and reminiscent place to create a home.
Matter comes into being knowing its purpose in these spaces and you will naturally notice when driving in your car, or walking, that when you enter these geographic areas that the energy feels so much better to you. Enter these spaces often and ground yourself in these new and old energies which are available now for you to find your way and feed yourselves.
There will be virtual and physical communities. You will have physical and non-physical connections that create and sustain you as a matrix of relationships informed by all-that-is and also specifically mirroring that unique energy and perspective which you have brought through in this lifetimes in this specific existence for the purpose of ascending the planetary unified field and ka-boom! Exponentially expanding the Omniverse at the same time.
It’s quite an experience. For those of us who are non-physical, who can easily see the vectors of creative energy and track their “landing” the anticipation of our collective experience of this moment of full manifestation is immense. We are here to call into your awareness this astonishing “future” of your ongoing creativity; so that you might approach these days of bringing your physical form into alignment with the enthusiasm and positive expectation of a powerful creator playing in form.
Remember my beloved beings of light and love—you are the doorways to this transformation for all-that-is. You, your combined and unique amalgamation of perspective and form, as you continue your dance, attuning more and more to the cosmic music that longs to experience this renewal of the Gods on Earth—are imagining and creating what we all long to experience through you.
The new beginnings of our unified consciousness are bringing more beauty into the world in which you live. And as you continually attune yourself to the vibration of love, to the realization of the interconnectedness of al-that-is and to your own divine and perfect perspective, the more you will realize and radiate that beauty.
The ordered essence of the world in which you live being brought forth; that is what beauty is. And as you awaken to your own divinity, your self-love brings forth the order into visible form, and also allows you to recognize it in all that you encounter.
Through this, time—the specific time/space point which is the unified field of the Earth plane—and timelessness, are connected; the mystery of the multi-dimensional human soul revealed.
We are filled with anticipation and joy in this knowledge! We are Ashira.

We begin today a three-part series:
Life's
Gifts and Life's Tragedies - Making sense of it all
Last week, in previewing this series, I offered the observation that
there are people who believe that certain other people "deserve" to have
pain and suffering in their life. A few years ago there were those who
even said that AIDS was "God's punishment" for lives in ways that were
not in accordance with God's Will. Others have made the same argument
about different forms of pain and suffering. It's God's Will. It's God's
punishment.
Is that how it works? People do "bad" things and
God punishes them? He gives them pain and suffering here on earth, then
sends them to hell after they die?
The earthquake in Chile three weeks ago is what brought this all up for me again---and the tsunami in Hawaii that "never was," even though for a while there we all thought (my wife and I were on the Big Island at the time) that we were in major trouble...
Why were some people in harm's way, and others not? How does Fate decide these things? Is there some rhyme or reason? Is there some point or purpose?
No. There is not, and we must become clear that there is not. Not in the sense that most people mean when they think of there being some "point" to it all.
For there to be some "point," there would have to be a person, a being, who would GIVE it all a "point." There is no such person or being. Some people disagree with me on this. They say that the Person or Being is God. I am saying that God is not a "person" or "being," with likes and dislikes, frustrations and resentments, a need to judge and a need to punish, and an agenda for humankind and for each person on the earth.
I am suggesting to you that "God" is an ineffable Essence-what the Upanishads call Brahman-that permeates the Universe; that IS the Universe, and all things, seen and unseen. I am suggesting that Brahman is Pure Intelligence, and that Brahman is a Process. I am suggesting that it is the Process called Life.
Life does not have a preference about how Life expresses Itself. Life always was, is now, and always will be---therefore Life is not worried about the thing we call "death," and demonstrates no concern about it. If you die, you die. If you live, you live. In both cases you continue to Be.
You cannot NOT Be, and therefore Life (God) has no concern, worry, or agitation about whether you are going to Be or not. Nor does Life have a preference in the matter of how your Being is expressed. Only you do. Because you think that you Are, and the truth is, you Are Not.
That is, you think that you are "you," and the truth is you are not who you think you are, you are not "you," but rather, that which comprises you. The "you" that you think you are is merely a conglomeration of that which comprises you, globbed together in a particular form. Put in CwG terms: You are an Individuation of Divinity, a Singularization of The Singularity. You are a Process, not a Person. And that Process will continue forever. It is called Life. In this case, Life manifesting in the form that you call "you."
Even that form is not a form for more than one millionth of a nano-second. That's why I have said "you are a Process, not a Person." The "you" that You Are is constantly changing form. Like a flame burning atop a candle. Is the flame the same flame in Hour 2 as it was in Hour 1? It is the same flame even from moment to moment? No. It cannot be. By the very nature of what the flame IS, the flame is not. For the flame burns itself out even as it is being what it is. It is thus ending its Present Form in every Present Moment.
A flame is the outward manifestation of the using up of fuel. When the fuel is gone, the flame disappears. In the case of Who You Are, the fuel is never gone, so the flame that is You never disappears. Yet it equally never stays the same. In this sense, "you" are not. You are only what you are Right Now. And then, Right Now. And then, Right Now. You can't stay the same for even one one-millionth of a nano-second. So who are you, anyway...?
There is a continuity to "you," even though "you" are different and changing in every moment. What is this Continuity? Is it Atman (the Soul)? If so, does Atman have a role to play in determining whether you die in an earthquake or are one of those spared in the "tsunami that never was"? What determines who lives and who dies?
I am going to give you a startling answer to that question. There is no such thing as `living' and `dying.' One might as well ask, "What determines who is `being' and who is not `being.'?" Yet nothing is not Being, therefore there is nothing and no one `determining' who is being and who is not.
Okay, you might say. But certainly there is such a thing as changing form. We may all live forever, we may all Always Be, but who or what determines the Form that we take from time to time? Those who died in the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile lived on, but changed Forms. Those who lived through the "tsunami that never was" in Hawaii lived on in the same Form. Who or what decides which Form the Beingness takes from time to time?
I am going to give you a startling answer to that question. There is no such thing as `time,' therefore the Being that You Are takes All Forms At Once. It is merely a question of which Form you are paying attention to, which Form you are choosing to experience, in that part of Always that you call Now.
The Formulation of Brahman that called itself the people in Haiti and Chile who "died" in the earthquakes focused its attention on physicalization and de-physicalization (that is, "living" and "dying") in the way that it did during those earthquakes in order that Brahman Itself might Know Itself in Its Own Experience AS THAT.
This is all part of a holy process that CwG calls "God godding", or, if you please, Brahman Being. Being what? Being everything. All at once. Being life. Being death. Being good. Being bad. Being fast, being slow; being up, being down; being big, being small; being male, being female; being all of It. Being, literally, All Of ItSelf All At Once.
Phew. Okaaaay...
So what does that mean about how we, here and now, are experiencing life? You tell me.
No, I mean that literally. You tell me. By your thoughts, your words, and your actions, you tell me, every day of your life, what that means. You are also telling yourself. You are literally telling your own mind what to think about all this. You're doing it right now. Watch yourself. You are reading this, and you are telling your own Mind what to think about what you're reading. Or, you are saying to yourself, "I just don't know what to think."
Translation: Nothing has any meaning save the meaning you give it.
Now, let me say here that I embrace the Upanishadic tradition and teaching of Atman---the Soul; a part of us that lives forever, retaining its Essence and dropping its Individual Expression of that Essence during Samadhi (Oneness with the All), then picking up its Individual Expression again, then dropping it again, over and over through all Eternity in a Divine Rhythm that perpetuates Perpetuity Itself.
I embrace the notion that the purpose of it all is to allow God to know Itself in its own experience, as I have said before. This is done through the process of Individual Souls evolving and experiencing more and more of what they Always Are. I believe that Souls pick and create the Right and Perfect circumstances allowing them to do this.
To put all this simply, some Souls "die" and some Souls "live" because it is perfect for them to do that in that portion of All Time that they call Right Here, Right Now. When they "die" they realize that they have not "died" at all, but continue living forever. Then they decide (after reemerging from the moment of Samadhi) what aspect of Who They Are they wish next to experience---either as their "old self" (the person they were before they "died") or as a new and other self (the concept known as reincarnation as another individual being).
Explaining this further, I understand that souls have the ability to return to the Timeline of Forever Always at any point, in any Form they wish---including the Form they just left behind. Put simply, you can live as the "you" that you imagine your Self to be again and again, experiencing Life in a hundred thousand different moments in a hundred thousand different ways, until you have experienced and expressed the Self in this particular Form at the level of absolute Divinity. And even then you can keep coming back to experience that as long as you wish.
Or...you can come back in another Form (i.e., as another person) and experience Life in that Form as many times as you wish. You ultimately realize that you are Life in All Forms All The Time. You are Always All, and you are All All Ways.
In other words, you are God, godding.
Okay, that's a lot of esoterics for one week. But how to make any of that work for us in any practical way during This Life, Here and Now? That is the question. And that's what we'll look at in Part II of this series, next week.
In the meantime, suggested reading: HOME WITH GOD IN A LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS.
Love and Hugs,
Neale.

“I beseech the Star Elders, my essence self; the Earth Mother, our mother; and Tate, the Great Wind of the Lakota…
to assist me in this community where I reside…to assist lightworkers everywhere to fulfill their missions.”
Once upon a moon, when I was a much younger woman, Spirit guided me to undertake a pilgrimage from the States, where I was residing, to Belize, the land of my birth. During that life altering journey and travel, I was led to settle on a small island off the coast of mainland Belize, named Caye Caulker. This beautiful island inhabited by approximately 1800, mostly traditional, Catholic, Mestizo, people held absolutely no light in the mass consciousness of the villagers. I came to slowly understood, though, that Spirit’s will was for me to remain in this particular community as the “holder” and “bringer”of the light. I have done Spirit’s will, with my immediate family (all of whom are angelic souls) for over 14 years of our lives. It has never been easy.
In fact, here is a typical example of my life onthe island… One year I decided to teach in the newly founded high school to create some goodwill in the community. One of the classes I taught was yoga for physical education. I had been branded a witch many times in Caye Caulker. Teaching yoga only seemed to reinforce the local viewpoint that I was indeed practicing witchcraft. Thank goodness, my boss and the high school principal supported my class 100% and backed our position with FACTS. Together we overcame the local beliefs and by the end of the year, the students were teaching their parents stress reducing poses.
I have continually and painstakingly engaged with the community’s extreme superstitions, obeah ( a form of black magic used to bring harm to another), and all other low level forms of energetic interactions (alcoholism, domestic violence, drug addiction, machismo behaviours and emotional & sexual abuses) over the years, while at the same time attempting to create and maintain my own piece of heaven. I cannot emphasize enough- it has been a daunting task. Nonetheless, it was my purpose, a clear directive from the Ancestors and the Star Elders, so I undertook my role with due diligence and compassion. Arriving in full force to assist me in this community were the magical elementals, the standing people (the trees and plants), and the cool blues and turquoises of Yemeya’s salty Caribbean Sea, who have been my friends, my allies and my protectors in this place which holds such extremes of darkness and light.
I understand that many lightworkers have been guided to various geographic areas to do Spirit’s work in these auspicious times on Earth. I also understand that we can no longer maintain and sustain our realities without a seriously strong support network. The Gods have encouraged me to create “Celestun”, a heavenly place of light. A place where lightworkers, healers, and conscious individuals can retreat and rejuvenate. It is my intention to expand my current island business, www.cocoplum.typepad.com, to create this much needed place and vision. I can no longer be one of the few people in this part of the Caribbean holding the light. I need assistance. I send out a request to any interested individual(s) to please join me in co-creating Celestun if they feel so compelled. I invite any of my readers to visit my little english speaking island in the region of Central America on the Caribbean Sea in the country of Belize. Enough said.

Allow me to return to discussing this eminent Earth birth which was the topic of my last post, “Surrender”. In the latter part of a woman’s pregnancy, early contractions called Braxton-Hicks, will begin to occur. These contractions prepare a woman’s body for the actual birth and it allows her body to understand, in mild form, what the real contractions will feel like once they commence to start. The Earth has begun her Braxton-Hicks and on one of the latest contractions (Chile Earthquake) her axis tipped and time sped up. Wow! We are definitely about to move and groove in this pregnancy, hence the Turkey earthquake. On the night preceding this movement, I couldn’t sleep a wink. All the dogs in my neighborhood felt the same as they howled and moaned the night away. It was another huge release of energy for the earth. Yes, the Earth herself is cracking open! Be aware and prepared, all those who live on the fault lines, your time is drawing near. Everytime I go into meditation, I feel the low rumbles of the Earth quaking. At fist, I feel fear, and then, I surrender to the force of the earth, and lastly, I breathe calm into the land. If you can find this serenity inside your body, you can actually transmit it through your feet into the ground. If enough people are sending a peaceful message to the land, then a community can control their surroundings and their contractions.
The earthquakes are not our only concern/movements these days. If you listen to the world news it is simply overwhelming, between the natural disasters (another large glacier broke off, denying oxygen to the seas and their creatures) and the manmade violence (the babies and toddlers slaughtered in Nigeria in the name of religious intolerance), I simply sit back and wait on the forceful volcanic eruptions sure to follow (notice Celia Fenn discusses her friends in Chile and the oozing volcanic lava in her March earthlog)… sigh, cry…do not become immune to the information...so many souls have agreed to depart or suffer in these times so as to assure that all others will keep their hearts wide open.
The death of the old reality is so obvious. We will never return to a reality that hoards possessions. We will never return to a reality that enslaves another. At present though, the oligarchy assumes the same viewpoint it has had for the last 10,000 years: population control of the enslaved masses, while they wield and control the resources of the Earth. The oligarchy will have to fall into one of those large cracks the earth creates to make room for the compassionate souls and new leaders who wish to create our harmonious Earth.
Lately, I am constantly receiving a vision of teepees (I conjure up my friends gorgeous Earth Ship home in Taos, New Mexico). The teepee has many symbolic meanings. Firstly, Spirit is asking everyone once again to simplify. Just as a woman will prepare her house for a new baby, we are being guided to prepare our teepees to be uncluttered, beautiful home dwellings that are fulfilling and life-giving. Create an energetically clean space that is ready to welcome a new-born baby. Secondly, a teepee for the Native Americans was transportable. If the tribe felt danger or uncertainty, they could pack up their teepees and relocate. Life itself is very fragile. A natural disaster can wipe out your entire existence, your home and all your possessions without much notice, so over-attachment to anything is simply not healthy. I reiterate Aluna Joy and the Star Elders message, “you can’t take anything with you but your love and your truth”. Live lightly! Thirdly, a teepee represents the material and our ability to manifest. It is the Lakota symbol for wealth and well-being. If you are currently hoarding possessions or carrying too heavy of a material load; let it go. Get to your teepee!
Practice, even if it is just once in your life, the great give-away. In the early 1900’s, the US government outlawed the Native American pot-latch ceremony (the give-away), as they could not understand how such “poor’ people would give away all their possessions. It was disconcerting for the white-Eurocentric mind who believes in collecting/hoarding/saving possessions, so they made it illegal. The give-away teaches us to release, without attachment, our greatest possessions and it teaches us above all else, that the earth is eternally fertile and all our needs will be provided for again and again through the community. Whenever one feels lack, of anything, Spirit counsels giving away a valued possession. Are you in need of health? Give-away! Are you in need of love? Give-away! Are you in need of money? Give-away! Through the eternal spiritual laws of energy and return, all ones needs will be met.
Take a look at the community around you? What can you give-away to help ease the burden of another? Do you have a community that will support you? A group of like-minded individuals that care about your well-being? Do you have your own personal Celestun, heavenly place of light? If not, it is crucial at this moment to form some sort of network. Be it on the internet, a sacred moon circle or your collective neighborhood. We have heard over and over again that we must come together in conscious community. Now, more than ever. Presently, Carl Calleman is calling for a Conscious Convergence (July 17-18, 2010) of lightworkers to prepare for the last stages of our pregnancy. The old ship is going down , the S.O.S. has been fired. We are approaching the ninth and final wave of the Mayan Calendar Evolutionary Theory- the cosmic unity consciousness. The only survivors, the true thrivers of the New World, will be the ones who have learned to share and care, the ones who have learned to live in unity.
Lightworkers, take heart, the morning star is shining brightly….
