Why Do We Still Vaccinate? – 25 Questions From A Former Vaccine Advocate

Brian Rogers, Prevent DiseaseI used to be pro vaccine. I know the feeling of thinking others were just plain crazy and wrong for not vaccinating their children and themselves. ‘Irresponsible!’ I said when pointing my finger. I’d use the same old arguments about polio and small pox and how vaccines saved us from all those horrible diseases and just swallowing and regurgitating the propaganda I was brought up with. It was only recently, in 2009 that I started question [...]

Does Astrology Work? The Testimonial of a Scientist Turned Astrologer




Does astrology work ? It is quite a perilous exercise to write an article stating a few truths drawn from actual experience, a risky but interesting challenge for the author of this site. But without danger, where would the adrenaline be? It is so good to try to talk about astrology upstream, and not only to discuss how it functions, for a person who has spent a lot of time using its techniques.
This is what we have done for Astrotheme's visitors, trying to use everyday words devoid of technical jargon, with no historical or specialised argumentation, and with the only aim to reach to as many persons as possible, yet without proselytizing. Just a few judgments coming from experience, a pragmatic vision of this tool for knowledge, which is what astrology is all about.
For the illustration of this non-technical article, it became rapidly obvious that astronomy images are needed... The staggering sight of certain galaxies or nebulae is not only splendid but enables to open one's mind towards... more consciousness and a more intense feeling of being alive.
For the illustration of this non-technical article, it became rapidly obvious that astronomy images are needed... The staggering sight of certain galaxies or nebulae is not only splendid but enables to open one's mind towards... more consciousness and a more intense feeling of being alive.

Incidentally, this article was written in slightly more than two hours, with no preparation and no plan. For this subject, and for some reason which probably lies in my subconscious and comes from the desire for purity and complete spontaneity, I was most eager to express a sort of rough opinion, a testimony coming from… the guts and sheer experience; it is easy to realise it when a text is written as it comes, and for the author, it is a rewarding exercise because genuineness always has a unique sparkle. For the reader, it is also a token of sincerity.
Of course, the purpose is not to convince. Indeed, in politics as well as in spirituality, to change direction is a complex issue. As far as the quite bizarre field of astrology is concerned, irrational behaviours occur quickly, usually with a little disdainful smile from those who, obviously, have been beyond the naive propensity to believe anything, to dream blissfully, and to delude themselves about a necessarily silly system because it offers off the beaten path possibilities, which other human disciplines do not.
The list of the authors of scornful smiles towards astrology is quite long, just as long as the list of more open-minded people who, either have tried themselves to learn this tool which astrology is – which, like psychology or history, is not a science – and became convinced that it works or at least has some degree of efficiency, or because they no time or no interest, leave the door open, thinking "finally, why not?", after all, one does not know much, would it be solely in the area of the spouting of the thought – WHO handles thought at the moment it emerges... - or about physical laws for which the 21th century is mere prehistory, as all scientists know. Indeed, life is evolution, knowledge is not static, and the only mistake which must not be made is to gorge oneself with certainties, including that which consists in associating "too good" results with absolute scientific impossibility.
I believe that my experience is quite similar to that of everybody, i.e. that of a person who, a priori, before discovering it, was "against" astrology and considered it... crap meant for gullible people, or in the best case, an idle fancy with a tinge of poetry in which all the intellectual energy spent was finally used to create a nice virtual world and arouse pleasure.
Paradoxically enough, relatively few astrologers are interested in astronomy. This is not my case. I even dreamed I would become an astronomer when I was small, and nowadays I feel the need to have a telescope at home, even though... I seldom use it because, unfortunately, the sky above the region of Paris is too polluted.

I even dreamed I would become an astronomer when I was small, and nowadays I feel the need to have a telescope at home, even though... I seldom use it because, unfortunately, the sky above the region of Paris is too polluted.

As luck would have it, I was in the bookstore where I used to go several times a week to get all sorts of books according to my quite strong curiosity and my need to understand hidden things, and I stumbled on an astrology treatise, the famous one authored by André Barbault (André Barbault is a respected French astrologer and author who devised a computer-generated astrological portrait in the early '70s.).
As I flicked through the pages, I was a bit amused to see the natal charts of historical personages, quite rigorous rules, an apparently sound functioning, and I thought that for once, I ought to read an astrology book, and at least, this one does not seem too naive.
In addition, there were a few recipes for the compatibility of couples, and since I was in love of one of my school comrades, in that Terminale C class (In the French education system, the last year of secondary school with a maths option), I thought, well, I am going to have fun and see whether, according to astrology, my compatibility with this beautiful brunette, the sight of whom would pierce my heart, is good or not!
With a good dose of scepticism and quite negative preconceptions, I started to learn to erect a natal chart, interpret it, and become initiated into all the predictive techniques, synastry, and other relishes having the charm of that which is unknown.
Since this article is not a book, it is necessary to get to the heart of the matter. Actually, I realised quickly that among the concepts of signs, houses, planets, houses in signs, planets in signs, rulership, aspects, nature of the planets, etc. it would take some time before being rewarded, venturing into uncertain territory alone, and interpreting charts without opening astrology books every thirty seconds.
Indeed, to my view, the first obstacle for anyone willing to get an idea about astrology is the huge contrast between serious astrology on the one hand, and on the other hand, the ordinary media and its horoscopes by signs or by decans – which are of no value, it is necessary to say so, absolute void, and the biggest hoax because a natal chart cannot be reduced to the position of the Sun in one of the zodiacal signs. Absurd columns with equally stupid predictions – here again, and it is difficult to refrain from giving names, be it to quote people who saw Kerry as the winner of the American elections in Telestar (A popular French television weekly) or in other magazines, or in general a little bit everywhere because it cannot be repeated often enough that there are two types of astrology, that of horoscopes in magazines which are nonsense, a mere commercial lottery. From this perspective, it is easier to understand the disdainful smiles of those mentioned earlier, and I particularly think of Guy Carlier (A French TV presenter and humorist), whom I nevertheless find quite pleasant, and of Alain Gillot-Pétré (He was a French TV meteo presenter), a declared enemy of astrologers. I remember for instance a TV programme featuring Paco Rabanne (He became famous as a fashion designer. He is not an astrologer but a weird visionary, also quite nice), and gorgeous Elisabeth Tessier (A professional French astrologer whom the late President François Mitterrand consulted. The thesis she defended at La Sorbonne University was the subject of a hot controversy) who was castigated by Guy Carlier... Thus, there is a big discrepancy between junk astrology and genuine astrology. The latter consists in extracting information from an exact natal chart based on a date of birth and location, and whenever possible a time of birth, and to deduct relevant results from this chart.
The weird and unique feeling of infinity which emerges from the sky when one gazes into space is one of the numerous methods for starting a meditation on the purpose of one's life.
The weird and unique feeling of infinity which emerges from the sky when one gazes into space is one of the numerous methods for starting a meditation on the purpose of one's life.

Indeed, commercial astrology and horoscopes published in the media are nonsense and above all, unfounded, but genuine astrology, which includes several schools and requires many years of learning, is difficult to grasp.
Therefore, a lot of time is required because without learning by rote numerous dozens of basic notions, it is very difficult not to get lost. Of course, one can have fun, but if one expects some degree of proficiency or just wants to be able to follow the rules of this tool, one will have to spend several months studying.
I shall briefly address a few other obstacles which claim so-called scientific bases and may prompt doubts, discouraging people who are curious about astrology even before they get a chance to start studying it. I think for instance of such a statement as "astrology is bullshit since everyone knows that owing to the precession of the equinoxes, and when one says that the Sun is in Aries although in fact, it's been a long time since it has left this constellation." This is obviously stupid because by definition, in astrology, signs do not represent the constellations bearing the same name, but they refer to the immutable cycle of the seasons. Thus, the sign of Aries corresponds to the spring equinox in the Northern hemisphere, and not to the stretch of space occupied by the constellation of Aries.
But I will not elaborate any further on these technical details because they are not the focus of this article, the purpose of which is only to give a testimony and to state that astrology works, in the light of an experience and a practice which cover a span of thirty years plus.
So, after a few weeks, astrology became clearer for me. Actually, I understood that finally, there were three essential functions and a fourth one as the wild card, if I may say so. First, there is the astrology which analyses the personality, the character, the motivations, the typology, and the behaviour. Then, there is a second astrology, well-known, which checks the past and analyses the present by superimposing the positions of the planets at a given period on the planets of the natal chart, using various techniques such as transits, solar revolutions, progressions, etc. Lastly, there is the astrology which compares two charts in order to understand the relations between two individuals who may be more or less compatible.
After the feeling of infinite in space, the questioning about... whatever pre-existed automatically arises.  The sensation of the infinity of time, the research of the causes, and the voyage back beyond them necessarily makes a normally constituted human being feel dizzy. Such vertigo arouses a stronger desire to understand the meaning of all this and therefore, the commencement of spiritual quest.

The sensation of the infinity of time, the research of the causes, and the voyage back beyond them necessarily makes a normally constituted human being feel dizzy. Such vertigo arouses a stronger desire to understand the meaning of all this and therefore, the commencement of spiritual quest.

These three types of astrology, or rather, these three functions of astrology, are the three major sections of this discipline. The fourth one, which I referred to as the "wild card" earlier, is mundane astrology which forecasts or explains certain global events such as wars and peace between countries, periods of growth or periods favourable for the evolution of a given area – science, humanism, religion, spirituality, etc. - assassination attempts, natural disasters, inventions, etc.
For all four sections, it is clear that people don't have the same propensity to "believe" or not. Many people have no problem acknowledging that astrological portraits are mind-boggling because they are so accurate. I leave out the cases which present no problems, i.e. most of them, or the cases of people of good faith, again the majority, and I address only the case of sceptical people.
Regarding forecasts, it is slightly more delicate. Recalcitrant people are usually more numerous, and there are even some astrologers who want to limit astrology to the functions of personality analysis and are adamant about this. The good-looking and talented Françoise Hardy (A famous French composer and singer of the '60s. She authored a book on astrology) is one of those people. The other sections of astrology seem too risky or difficult to them, unless they deem them... impossible for x reasons known to themselves only.
Regarding couple's compatibility, also referred to as synastry, the subject is less known and better accepted because if one considers that astrology can analyse the personality, why couldn't it analyse two personalities and see if those two get along well or not...
Astrology is a mere set of efficient techniques for those who practice it and those who seek advice from it. However, although astrology and spirituality are disjoint, questions on human being, which the former necessarily indirectly arises, create... a bridge towards the quest for Reality.
Astrology is a mere set of efficient techniques for those who practice it and those who seek advice from it. However, although astrology and spirituality are disjoint, questions on human being, which the former necessarily indirectly arises, create... a bridge towards the quest for Reality.

Lastly, there is mundane astrology, which is the most difficult one. It must be acknowledged that using astrology to forecast global events equates to taking up an almost impossible challenge. Certain facts are mind-boggling, but I would only say that, to my view, this field pertains to research, and it is important that one does not believe what one reads here and there... Those who talk rubbish are definitely more numerous than those who really make predictions. Does this mean that mundane astrology does not work? Not necessarily, but there still is a long way to go. It is probably too early for our time, at least this is my opinion, formed after 35 years of experience and hindsight.
Let's get back to astrology learning. Once the two obstacles mentioned above are overcome, i.e. the venom of the ignorant mass and its bitter judgment, castigating with a conceited smile any effort made towards the shameful direction in which astrology is, and the fact that many long months will have to be spent to understand and master the concepts and the rules – actually, in my view, this is not enough, and I believe that after a whole year of reading and practice, one gets a good idea. After 5 years, one is able to make a few interpretations, after 15 years, one has good bases, and after 30 years, although one still keeps on learning, one has some good reflexes which enable to avoid making mistakes. It is after this period that amazement starts...
Bewilderment starts with the portraits. The hurdle lies in establishing the hierarchy of values and discarding whatever is superfluous. Indeed, the beginner tends to look at tons of details and get lost in a whole set of numerous meanings. Once this difficulty is solved, it is true that, if the sceptical person has paid the price and dedicated his time to learning, he usually loses his incredulity and the self-satisfied smile of the person who cannot be taken for a ride...
Having said this, unless one is particularly sensitive and vulnerable, getting to know oneself better, or having an idea about the meteorology, is rather helpful for evolving more rapidly. So, astrology would not be useless.
Having said this, unless one is particularly sensitive and vulnerable, getting to know oneself better, or having an idea about the meteorology, is rather helpful for evolving more rapidly. So, astrology would not be useless.

I wish to reassure those who are starting to learn. Actually, within a few days, as one reads the charts of acquaintances, one finds it mind-boggling. But once all the notions are well understood, one rapidly enjoys astrology and its batch of wonderments.
This is precisely what happened to me after a few months. Then, if one does not want to stop while on such a good path, one buys books and learn... during years. To me, astrology is a tool, and not a religion or something important. It is one discipline among others, such as history or psychology. Of course, it is more helpful and somehow prompts to ask questions upstream. This is what constitutes its charm, even though in no circumstances, does it answer these questions.
Astrology is anything except a spiritual path, a religion, or a moral code. It is just a tool which enables to understand our personality, our compatibility with people, and, with caution, to forecast climates, the meteorology of our evolution.
Some people have understood that astrology worked well and prefer… to avoid predictions. However, they are very few. There is indeed the auto-suggestion issue whereby the very fear of an unfortunate event might trigger it. Although there may be some truth in it, the amount of risk is minimal.

In my experience, right from the beginning, I observed that it worked. As everyone, one starts to read the charts of one's close friends and relatives, then one looks at the compatibilities, and above all, one plays at being God and analyses the future after having analysed the past. To understand the past, using the transits or any other techniques with a view to validating the rules, constitutes the best method.
Regarding this last point, my opinion is simple: forecasts work fine, provided that two major conditions, absolutely impossible to ignore, are met:
This recalls the nice philosophical tale of Samarkand which can be summed up as follows: a Vizier walks across the city to work at the Sultan's palace. He sees an ominous woman dressed in black, the sight of whom makes his blood curdle... As she gets nearer, he notices her glare and her expression and understands that she is Death. He is in a state of terror and thinks that she is coming to take him... more below

The first one is that when you analyse a period of time, many interactions or influences are noticeable. But all of them are far from being equally important. One thing that we must never hesitate to say is that "strong" events are obvious, even though the way in which they will manifest does not always exactly match what we think. Nevertheless, the general tendency can be described accurately, assuming the practitioner is seasoned enough.
Regarding minor, or "average" events, caution is required. There is a "scattering" of results, as if some people were more or less sensitive to certain transits etc. There are evidences that astrology should not be thrown out the window. The effects of very important forces at play are practically always noticeable. This is something I have observed on thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands cases, and each time, it is mind blowing because it completely rules out a vision at random of the period concerned. One must experience it to believe it: it is the number of disconcerting facts, totally incompatible with coincidence, which prompts to understand that one is not wasting time with this discipline. If one remains humble enough to accept that for less important events, or forces at play, there is some degree of uncertainty, and that one deals with probabilities of more or less favourable tendencies regarding such or such point, then, one remains on the safe side.
Does it mean that astrology is deterministic and fatalistic? No, definitely. Everything unfolds as if there was a "tendency", some sort of more or less imposed, yet partial, structure. It seems that free will enables to react differently to the planetary climates undergone, and as the old saying goes, "The stars impel but do not compel". Many questions obviously arise on this subject, but the purpose of these lines is to share my practical experience, in all simplicity, without starting to give a structured explanation for each concept addressed, which would require several books.
Thus, he is terrified and starts to run like a madman to the palace, where he arrives out of breath to see the Sultan. "What's wrong with you my friend?" said the Sultan. "My Lordship, I saw Death! She came to fetch me, I am very sure... I don't want to die, I am too young, I have a family. Would you allow me to take a dozen days off and go somewhere very far because I don't want her to find me, I don't want to die!" "No problem", answered the generous and nice sultan. "You have always been loyal and reliable. Go to Samarkand, it is such a beautiful city, it will take your mind off things.

"You have always been loyal and reliable. Go to Samarkand, it is such a beautiful city, it will take your mind off things.

The other necessary and unavoidable condition, too often overlooked by many practitioners, is that our destiny develops only according to... what we are and therefore, according to what the natal chart describes, a natal chart which evolves, I need to underline this. Astrology obviously integrates this notion of evolution. There is no static state, no irreversible or fatalistic conditioning. A natal chart is mobile, and the human being is meant to blossom according to his basic characteristics, definitely with some degree of free will.
In plain words, it means that the astrological natal chart is fundamental. Predictive techniques use two charts, the natal chart, which represents our personality, our earthly self with its usual features: affectivity, intellect, capacity of action, inter-personal capacity, vitality, sexuality, behaviour, psychological facets, blockages, etc.
The Vizier sets off straight away with a few servants, a dozen camels. During four days and four nights, he hastily heads towards mythical Samarkand, fleeing the woman in black and running away from what he believes to be his fateful destiny. After four days, he eventually reaches Samarkand, a splendid city bathing in an extraordinarily beautiful light... He quickly takes a bath, changes clothes, and, without taking any rest, he gets out to have a mint tea and visit the city.

He quickly takes a bath, changes clothes, and, without taking any rest, he gets out to have a mint tea and visit the city.

By superimposing the chart – or planets' positions – of the period analysed on the natal chart, one identifies the forces at play, in hierarchy and categories, which have an intrinsic meaning but which, at the same time, depend mainly on the natal chart; this is what is often referred to as "resonance" with the natal chart.
Let's take a concrete predictive case using transits for instance. One of the rules of thumb for predictions is to understand that transiting influences will fully manifest only if they are also found in the natal chart. Let's consider the difficult case of a transit of Uranus squaring natal Mars, with Mars in the 2nd House in Aries, and Uranus in the 11th House in Capricorn. These two planets are the most energetic ones, and at some time, their square triggers a blow-up in terms of behaviours or events, because the balance is too hard to maintain by the chart owner and meant to explode since the vibration does not correspond to his nature. Therefore, this explosive transit indicates that there is a probability that the financial area, or the way one earns a living, undergoes a very strong and unexpected jolt when the transit becomes exact or during Uranus' various passages as it retrogrades and squares natal Mars. This jolt may involve friends – it would be necessary to look at the rulerships. Now, there are two alternatives: if Uranus and Mars are connected in the natal chart, transiting Uranus will resonate with the natal chart, and it is most likely that important events, or the way they are felt by the chart owner, will be strongly experienced. The other alternative is that Uranus and Mars are not linked to each other in the natal chart, in which case it is clear that the effects of transiting Uranus, though violent, will have a less significant impact than in the first case.
The sun lights up the picturesque narrow streets, females are good-looking, and the shadows stretching their darker shape at this time of the afternoon increase the charm of the mythical city. The Vizier walks, deliriously happy to have escaped his fate. As he strolls and looks aside, he does not watch his steps and bumps into somebody! He immediately turns around and, to his stupefaction...

The Vizier walks, deliriously happy to have escaped his fate. As he strolls and looks aside, he does not watch his steps and bumps into somebody! He immediately turns around and, to his stupefaction...

Similarly, a stern, wise and sometimes slightly solitary Saturnian, meaning a person with Saturn in his planetary dominant, who has an upcoming transit of Jupiter passing over his Venus will not turn into Julio Iglesias or Rocco Siffredi during the few weeks of this very nice transit!
Provided these two conditions are met, i.e. some level of analogy with the natal chart, and caution whenever the influences at play are not very strong, astrology never disappoints, or almost never, as far as predictions are concerned.
Regarding couple's compatibility, there are very important rules. It is not because a synastry is exceptionally good that it means, on the one hand, that one will fall in fall, and on the other hand, that the relationship will be successful. Let me explain:
When one analyses the chart of a couple, one actually analyses three charts: the natal chart of each partner and the chart of the relationship. The latter is compared to the two natal charts and assessed using various possible techniques (composite chart, mid-space / mid-time chart, mutual planets-houses interactions, etc.). In addition of course, one must take into account the planetary climate of each partner, which is not simple.
In couple's compatibility, here are the principles that must be borne in mind:
Firstly, a fantastic compatibility between two persons never implies that they will fall in love with each other. Indeed, synastry only reflects how easy a relationship is in various areas. Conversely, a disastrous synastry does not mean that two persons will not fall in love with each other!
It is important to highlight the above because a host of visitors wonder and sometimes e-mail us asking "I met with so and so, our rate was 80% but nothing happened, the relationship has not materialised, etc.", which is normal! Astrology, at least synastry, is unable to determine whether two persons will love each other. Love eludes the comparison of charts!
Once again, if and only if, a relationship has already started, synastry will tell whether it will flow smoothly or not. In my view, that's already quite considerable!
A gorgeous and very pale lady, all dressed in black, stares at him with an almost astonished look and said, "Well, well, it's you, you are early. I did not expect you before several days yet." As she takes him by the hand, the Vizier, in a state of complete terror and at the same time strangely resigned, does not resist and follows Death, in great distress and without any possibility to rebel.

As she takes him by the hand, the Vizier, in a state of complete terror and at the same time strangely resigned, does not resist and follows Death, in great distress and without any possibility to rebel.

Now, like with predictions, it is necessary to take natal charts into account. It is simple to understand: if in his natal chart, anyone has a difficult affective structure, as in the case of a man having an exact Saturn-Moon square, with the Moon in the 7th House and Saturn in the Midheaven, and for instance, Venus square Pluto. His marriage should a priori take place late – if he ever marries, which is not quite sure – and the context of the marriage should not be very easy. Besides, it is most likely that in the affective area, he imagines nice things and that in real life, he undergoes a few disappointments. Although it is true that there are no such things as good charts or bad charts, there are still a few tendencies which are noticeable on the manifested plane.
Let's imagine that this gentleman meets a lady with whom the compatibility is extraordinarily good. What would happen?
If he falls in love, and his feelings are reciprocated, the odds are that things will not develop smoothly. Actually, because the synastry is good, which is the hypothesis we have chosen, in order that his destiny unfolds according to his natal chart, certain obstacles will crop up. Such hurdles probably obey some necessity in terms of evolution etc., but this is another topic... Nevertheless, the relationship is most likely to be pleasant and easy. The rest of the context will have to be assessed: what are the active transits of the moment for both partners, what is the natal chart of the lady in question, etc.
As we can see, a relationship is a whole entity, a juxtaposition of five factors which already form a whole when taken separately: two natal charts, two forecasts or current planetary climates, and one synastry or couple report.
The analysis of these five factors is the only process which enables to understand and offer predictions about what is to follow, and even then... solely if the magical spark is born between them. Regarding the spark, let's say that transits enable to forecast whether the chart owner is likely to fall in love during the considered period.
It is true that one can try to bail out of what is deemed ineluctable, especially during loaded periods such as under Uranus' tensed transits. However, as one believes that one is escaping one's fate, one might also jump into it with one's feet together even faster!

The lines above emphasise, I hope, how difficult it is to make a diagnosis and the large scope of the work it requires.
My experience, once again with regard to this third section – since we have already addressed personality analysis and predictions – is that astrology works, provided that the natal chart is taken into account along with transits, progressions and solar revolution influences.
Which experience? It is simple. When one is interested in this tool, one quite quickly makes interpretations, thousands of charts in several years. Therefore, each time one gets the confirmation that "heavy" or major events occur according to the rules used, and that in most cases, portraits are quite accurate although of course, certain scattered charts are much more difficult to interpret than others. One also knows that humility is a must and that for lighter things, i.e. minor aspects, less important or fast transits, one really deals only with probabilities, but... that's already quite appreciable.
The last section, that of mundane forecast, is unrewarding. I will not enter into the details of the methods used, and I will only say that once again, my experience is quite a pessimistic one. Individual astrology offers results ranging from satisfactory to very satisfactory, but mundane astrology seems risky to me and, to state it clearly, not yet perfected enough.
There may be a fifth section, that of prediction of success for business companies, projects, etc. The principle is to take the exact date of creation of a project as its moment of birth and cast a chart exactly as it is done for a human being. This method can also be applied to an animal, why not.
As expounded in this article, my experience prompts me to think that there are two types of outer events: the fundamental ones, which are very rare through a lifetime, and the others. The former seem to bear some form of determinism affecting the way events unfold, because the way we experience them in our inner self is a different thing and gives our free will every latitude in making decisions, including that to grant them importance or not.

The fans of this technique are often optimistic. Now, in my opinion, the real difficulty lies in identifying the exact date and time of the beginning of the project or a company. Let's take for instance the creation of a company, and why not, in France, the most difficult country regarding this topic, owing to all kinds of administrative hurdles: firstly, the date, time, and place of the "idea". Then, the determination of the name of the company. There may be also the date at which all the partners reached an agreement. Or the date at which the company's capital was deposited into the bank, or the date of the application or the official registration of its statutes! Or else, the date at which the premises for its head office are found...
Actually, if one ponders a little bit more, for every case, the same questions apply because the exact date and time are not really significant. The same holds true also for the birth of a country, etc.
As a result, examples are not easy to study, even though they are interesting for the astrologer as a matter of curiosity. I believe that great caution is needed in this area.
Getting back to the example given at the beginning of this article, you may want to ask about the young lady, "So, was she compatible with you?" According to the analysis of the time, no! And actually, nothing happened, except in my head. Thus, astrology started to work well in those remote days despite the sadness of the conclusion.
More seriously, the purpose of these lines is to say that the irrational refusal of some people, be they scientists or not, to consider that there might be something accurate in this discipline constitutes a real sign of laughable blockages on their part.
These questions would take us too far… Nevertheless, the Samarkand tale is a classic which tends to show the limits of free will in the field of real experiences. It is important to add that, as far as death is concerned, even though there are techniques which try to determine its date, no serious astrologer will claim to be able to do so. Why? Because, and it cannot be reiterated strongly enough, astrology describes a climate and probabilities, and nothing else. I would also add that this is at the same helpful, crucial, and an excellent thing. Nothing would be worse than absolute fate and shutting the door on hope.

Because, and it cannot be reiterated strongly enough, astrology describes a climate and probabilities, and nothing else. I would also add that this is at the same helpful, crucial, and an excellent thing. Nothing would be worse than absolute fate and shutting the door on hope.

Obviously, it is easy to understand its cause, which is certainly somehow the issue of how astrology works.
Here, I have talked about concrete topics and experience, and not at all about the "why". Actually, being a scientist myself, in the beginning, what I wanted to know above all was whether astrology worked.
Over 35 years of experience have answered my question although after six months or one year, I already got the answer, thus positive, just in case some visitors would directly start to read from this point on.
The topic of why it works is completely different. Here are my impressions, given in a personal capacity: at first, I would consider astrology to be a small square of life, a bit like a helpful discipline, but without –let's say, directly – spiritual connotation.
It is efficient, useful, but it offers no answer to the real questions of life, under no circumstances. What are we, what are we made of, what is Reality? Beneath thought, feelings, sensations, there is the consciousness of being, which is the only real thing, upstream. The intellect is unable to understand itself. A blind man cannot describe the colour red. Similarly, the intellect can but go round in circles when it comes to asking "who am I?", since we are not our thought and we are upstream of it or... of them, because one can rather talk about thoughts in the plural, which are like bees continuously buzzing, with an actor behind who undergoes and at the same time has the illusion of control... Of course, there is a link between these thoughts and our consciousness to exist, but... I should stop here... This is just to show that astrology answers none of these questions, that its field applies to the earthly sphere, to human psychology, to the explanation of behaviour, to the cautious forecast of the meteorology of events, and to the assessment of the smoothness, if any, of a relationship in a couple.
There is also the topic of the astrologer who analyses his future. Can he really change it? The wisest answer is that yes, one can strengthen the periods of invulnerability and thus, one's successes etc. One can also be careful and thus lessen the impact of risky periods, for practically all events.

The wisest answer is that yes, one can strengthen the periods of invulnerability and thus, one's successes etc. One can also be careful and thus lessen the impact of risky periods, for practically all events.

I would say, and I believe so, that this is already quite considerable. The fact that it works is sufficient in itself, even though one would like to understand the whys in terms or physics or energy etc.
Second reflection: we know only four forces in the universe: strong interactions (the cohesion forces of atomic nuclei), weak interactions (the cohesion forces of nuclei and particles), gravitational forces, and electro-magnetic forces. We are able neither to define the consciousness of being, nor to give a definition of thought and of ourselves. To imagine giving an answer to the whys of the functioning of astrology would require a better understanding of these two planes: the first one is that of physics, which is not as advanced as it is believed to be. The second plane is that of knowledge of human nature, which does not seem too advanced either...
The first answer is that indeed, there is no known physical explanation as of today.
There are statistics, sometimes disputed, and astrologers' experience dating back to the dawn of time – and the different schools, etc. which I have not addressed here of course – which are dismissed by detractors of astrology who are so stupidly and mechanically indoctrinated with their own certainties that they self-intoxicate themselves with their own rubbishes when... they do not act in bad faith.
Regarding major events, which can probably be counted on the fingers of the two hands throughout a lifetime, I think that the astrologer himself cannot avoid a few compulsory chapters of his destiny. This may be found disgruntling or laughable, but those who make numerous predictions are aware that it is difficult, or practically impossible, to escape very powerful configurations, be they harmonious or tricky. It should be borne in mind that what is tricky brings about awareness whereas on the contrary, what is felt as nice often yields spiritual numbness. Nothing is good, and nothing is bad; there is only a succession of tests, happy or unfortunate, and the will, or lack of, to increase one's consciousness of existing with them.

Nothing is good, and nothing is bad; there is only a succession of tests, happy or unfortunate, and the will, or lack of, to increase one's consciousness of existing with them.

Of course, if anyone says to you "You practice astrology because you are in a fog, your mind is weak, you are indoctrinated, or you are Machiavellian, you do it for money, you are a poor insane person", there is nothing to answer since this blindness probably stems from a very irrational behaviour and above all from a pre-determined choice.
Some detractors of astrology, perhaps less obtuse than others, may imagine, during a too short-lived stroke of intuition, that not all astrologers are in a complete fog, not all malevolent, not all interested in power or money, and even that the majority do not waste their time, simply because hands-on experience has shown them the evidence, that is does work, provided due caution is observed as mentioned earlier.
Therefore, for these people, the following problem remains: "Well, let's suppose that it works and that there is some truth in it, but since there are no explanations to it, it cannot work, can it?"
A logical mind would answer back "It works of course. It is not because we don't know yet why, that it can't work, since on the contrary experience proves that it does work..."
Besides, the fact that one possesses a few assets like knowledge of astrology, or the mere fact of seeking advice from it, is part of the protections which can be found in the natal chart. The person who never doubts anything, who remains narrow-minded and keeps on his superior smile in front of concealed knowledge –astrology is not the only one – this person usually has several tensions in fixed signs in his natal chart. Indeed, fixed signs are excellent and often endow with a strong will and persuasion power, to the detriment however of open-mindedness, or rather, the swiftness to precisely adjust to whatever is new to him. Once adjustment is achieved, he will become a fierce defendant of the very cause which he fought in the first place, at least in the best cases (smile).

The tradition does not hesitate to put forward such answers as "As above, so below.". This explanation is based on symbolism, the human being partly incarnated and partly spirit, and there is a connection between these two worlds, etc. But obviously, this is not an explanation.
Astrology works although we still don't have its explanation in terms of forces. My opinion is that it will come. It constitutes an interesting subject, but not a fundamental one. The main point is to avoid talking nonsense and to be pragmatic. It seems to me that being open-minded is the only correct attitude.
Although one can live without astrology, its offers much help to those who practice it or to those who seek advice from it. It is already very appreciable. Indeed, although astrology claims neither to give an answer about the purpose of life, nor to be absolutely reliable, and in spite of the fact that the explanation of its functioning is unknown... it nevertheless delivers obvious results.
This is what justifies its practice. To my view, the only good attitudes are, either to use it with caution if it is helpful on a punctual basis or more, or to ignore it and ask "Why not, but in any case, I am not interested." The only totally ridiculous attitude is to display the self-satisfied smile of those who cannot be taken for a ride...

Heaven #3421 Energy and Greatness

You have a vitality that you don't know you have. You have energy beyond your awareness. You have unlimited energy.

Even when you feel your feet dragging and you can't stay awake, you have endless energy. It is all there. You have a huge reservoir of energy. There is no end to the energy you have. At rest or at play, your energy is intact.


Energy is a form of light, and you are a light being. A light being cannot be without light. Light does not really sleep.

When you feel energy-less, that is an idea of the mind. You have told yourself that you are without energy. You really know that you are filled with energy, for, at any moment, energy can be restored to your awareness. You could be the most tired person in the world, and, yet, what happens when you hear you have won the big lottery? Your energy revives! You have the energy to launch a rocket.

Do not interpret what I say to mean that your body is not to rest. Of course, your body is to rest. But you are to know that, at rest or swimming the English Channel, your body is filled with energy. That is what I want you to be sure to know.

Say to yourself right now: "Energy is always available to me. I am connected to an infinite source of energy. The yellow sun in the sky gives me its energy. God gives me His energy. I am energy itself."

Pause to refuel, yet know that you are an infinite source of energy.

Your intelligence is energy. You are not wanting for intelligence. Even when you do a dumb thing, your intelligence hasn't gone anywhere. Beloveds, even if you flunked school, your innate intelligence keeps your molecules intact and spinning. You can call the energy within you life, if you like. And that light of life does not even diminish when your erstwhile body drops away. You, without cease, are still energy. You, without cease, are still light.

Right now you have access to all the light imaginable and unimaginable, and right now, light being that you are, you are also the access to all the light imaginable and unimaginable. You are the Olympic Torch that is carried through the One World. You are that candle that lights another.

Here you are, all this brightness, and so often you may think of yourself and others as not much at all. You think you are limping through life when you are a high flyer. Will you please no longer downplay yourself? You are a Great Being in a Great Universe. Perhaps you have been reading too much fine print, or you have been writing disclaimers and printing them on your heart.

Now, I ask you to write exclaimers! Write in your heart now:

"I am a Great Being. I am great enough to do great things. From this day forward, I believe in myself. From this day forward, I acknowledge to myself that what God creates has to be great. How could I ever think it could be otherwise? What was I thinking? What could a child of God be worth but greatness? No longer will I belittle myself. No longer will I belittle anyone. I, who am a Great Being of God, uplift others to their greatness as well. I am a Messenger of God, so, from now on, I no longer deliver small messages to myself or anyone.

"From now on I acknowledge myself as a tribute to God. God created me to be a tribute to Him and His art. Now I accept that what God says is what I am."

Day 4 – Reclaim your Body Temple

Today we begin… Right here and now, we take total personal responsibility and cancel contracts, etc.  We breathe and find our center.  We meditate.  With these simple steps we have opened a doorway to reclaim our minds.  The past two days experiences have given a glimpse of what can be achieved with daily practice.  As we progress, weave the previous days experiences into more intricate patterns during your day.  Catch yourself as you commute to work.  Someone challenges you on the road, send Love.  Breathe consciously for a few minutes for every hour worked.  Bring these new awarenesses into your life.  We have started to reclaim our mind and now we begin to support our bodies.

What do you eat?  Do you know where it comes from?  Do you know what it is made of?  Can you pronounce all the ingredients?  Do you look at the ingredients?  Are you completely aware of the food and beverages you ingest on a daily basis?  Are you conscious in this area of your life?  Is your food prepared in a Loving manner?

This can be a very profound experience, so here we go…

Shine the light of your awareness into the area of your personal diet, eating and drinking habits.  Begin your quest for the Truth.  Come to know the things that you put into your Temple, the Body.  Become intimately aware.  If you don’t know what it is, find out.  Perhaps you will be surprised to find out that much of our mass processed and distributed “food” is pretty devoid of nutrition and more importantly, life energy.

So, today I ask you to take stock of the situation.  Get your journal to the ready, keep it close by all day and become an investigator.  Check everything you are inclined to eat and drink. Know what it is before.  Ask the questions…

From personal experience I can share that I was very addicted to fast food and other very unhealthy and “unnatural” foods.  Today I can barely eat out with the rampant infusion of artificial ingredients, corporate greed and unconscious food preparation so prevalent in many restaurants today.  I have seen the food services industry in a new light and it has completely changed my life, health and vitality.

So, please become keenly aware of your intake.

Today, find and commit to a detox program.  There are many products and supplements out there, find what resonates with you.  Drink lots of clean, pure, fresh water and label your water bottles with short inspirational inscriptions or words such as Love, Gratitude, Peace, Balance, Abundance, Success, Highest Good, Trust…  You get it.  Water becomes structured and takes on the resonant frequency of these words, so when you drink it your body which is mostly water takes on these frequencies as well…  Investigate… google: messages from water

Consider everything…  Start right now.  What did you eat and drink since you got up this morning.  Write it down.  A pattern will emerge.  You will discover something about yourself that was previously not known.  You will awaken in you a desire to know what is going into your Temple and as your practice deepens your tolerance for impurity may and likely will change.

I have come to discover that our bodies are made to function perfectly.  We just need to fuel them in the right way.  So, today… Eat something local, organic, fresh and prepared consciously.  You will find it or you will make it, either way bring consciousness into your diet, find and start an internal cleanse program and become a food investigator.

It’s your body… the only one you get this go ’round.  No matter where you are on your path your body will respond to this change.  Take notice now and commit to the practice that brings purity to the food and drink you put in your temple.  You are,  Worth it!

Please share your experiences in the comments or on Facebook!   I know there will be a great many discoveries to share.  Some fascinating information and deeper understanding can and will come in your investigation.  Welcome it.  Open to it.  Share it.  I am very interested in comments relating to HFCS and wheat and gluten allergies… Thank you and Blessings on your Journey, my Brothers and Sisters.

Love and Kindness,

Marc

A Life of Joy, Living in the Moment

Shelly Dressel

This channel had a number of interesting energies, the essence of which is learning how to live in the moment.As you are aware, your past is over, your future has not arrived; all you truly have is this moment.  When you are seeking to manifest or create within your life, you can only do so through the moment in which you are living.  Do you have a story, something that represents the experiences that have in some ways defined your life so far?  It could be based on pain and suffering, perhaps a time when you did or experienced something marvelous.  The point though is that your life today is focused upon what happened in the past.  Until you let go of whatever it may be that happened, you will be remain in a place of resistance. 

What is compassion?  Can you look at your life and accept that it is that it is? When you infuse compassion into your life you open to even greater potentials. Therefore you may keep the memories but you let go the energies that tie you to the past.  For many people if you take away their ‘story' they feel cut off and adrift.  So open to feel the true you that lives behind or beneath your ‘story'.   

Lastly if you choose to have joy become the focus of your life, everything that you are seeking will come with greater ease.  And if the perception is that it's not... then at least you can have fun along the way!!  I'm told time and again by the Goddess that we humans take our lives and ourselves too seriously.This is a reminder to find joy in whatever way that we can and allow it to flow through our lives.

Shelly 

Nama sika; venia benya      I AM the one, I AM the whole

I greet you, beloved family.  I welcome you with open arms to our time together.  I reach out to each person who is here; I say to you welcome.  I thank you for taking the opportunity to reach out and align with me.  I thank you for seeking to create a transition within your life and doing so with me. 

I feel as if there is such a glorious light and energy that is moving in to the Earth plane at this time.  You hear constantly about the transitions that are taking place; you hear constantly about vortexes of light and energy.  You hear about things that are happening to people in various ways, shapes, forms.

All of it is real; all of it is a part of the experience that people are having.  It is this and even more.  We have spent the last few weeks speaking about Ariellis.  Feeling her energies; feeling what it is to you and recognising how much everybody is having an impact upon how that planet is going to be used in the future. 

The greater ease that you have in flowing your energies from here where you are on Earth onto Ariellis creates more and more pathways of transition.  This is what is creating the greater ease.  There is more going on than what you realise. 

I have spoken of Ariellis as a separate planet from yours, which it is. I have spoken of it as something that you transition towards or into.  You leave your planet and go to that one, as indeed you can.  Part of what is occurring as a result of what everyone here is doing, plus all the others who are working with this energy, is that it is creating a better alignment that allows for Ariellis and the Earth to blend as if one is superimposed upon the other or perhaps to consider it as if one is manifesting within.  There's not an in and an out, an up or a down, although it makes it easier for each of you to have a greater understanding by thinking of it in those terms.  For yourself, consider what that means to you.  

With that we will begin to shift our consciousness.  Have a sense of taking one more deep breath so that you may breathe down within you as the human, as you do so have a sense then of releasing your physical body.  As you release allow your consciousness to expand it very easily moves into the space of the magnetic grid. As you arrive here within this space look around and recognise the space of your higher self.

It is a place for your expanded consciousness.  It is a place for your awareness.  Feel it as if it's very comfortable to you.  Have a sense of moving from there into the crystalline grid.  As you feel your energies move within the crystalline, feel yourself releasing the magnetic pull of the Earth.  It is as if the crystalline vibration is so familiar and so comfortable to you now; this it simply is you. It is your space.  You need not reach out as if you step into something that is not your own.  

I have commented many times on how much the crystalline grid has shifted. I know that you are each very well aware of this.  I invite you though, to stop or take in this moment.  Feel what it means to you to be within this space.  I get a sense that many of you allow your energy field to be cleansed.  You open up your senses and take in whatever perceptions are here for you.  And I think what is happening is that as you continue your transition into a crystalline biology, whenever you come in to the gridwork or this space, it's a time of using the vibration to clear out debris, to clear out old energy, to clear out anything you are ready to release.

Soak it up and take in you as you are more connected within yourself.  From here you may have a sense of shifting into a separate dimension; allow yourself to move into the soul plane. As you come within this space, feel what it is or see or sense what it's like as you look at your divinity. 

You come here consistently therefore your divinity is here ready and waiting for you.  You need only open your senses and take in whatever information is here for you.  Allow yourself to blend fully with your divinity, so that you will remember what it is to be here fully aligned. You remember that inner knowing of how good it feels.

You are integrating more and more of your consciousness within this space. I the Goddess move in and amongst you and as I do so I reach out to embrace each one of you.  As we merge, we move into the All That Is.  Feel what this is to you.  Feel your expansion; feel as if you're reaching out your arms and expanding.  Let this space support you.  

Whenever we come together for these journeys, I reach out to each of you and get a sense of what you are interested in doing for the journey.  As I reach out to align with you there is a very strong sense of people feeling as if they have been in limbo or as if they have been awaiting something that has as yet not arrived.

In your human reality many, many things can get in the way of manifesting what you seek to have.  Sometimes it might be the vibration that you emanate and that is a reflection of your thoughts, your emotions, your intentions.  There is always resistance. I hear over and over from people that they want something so bad, they want it, they've wanted it for so long, so why hasn't it happened?  This is a form of resistance.  

Other times people are seeking to have something within their life and perhaps there's a sense of them that says ‘hey, that would be nice but I don't know if it's for me'. That is a form of resistance.  Indecision - do I want it or do I not?  This is a form of resistance.  It could go on and on.  And it may be that as I'm speaking there is something within what I say that resonates with you.  It may be that nothing in that form resonates with you; you have moved into a different place.

Whatsoever it is, I say let's just bring it up while we're here within the All That Is.  Let's begin by bringing up one thing or perhaps a series of things if it takes a series to get to the end result.  But bring into your consideration something that you would like within your life.  As you think about whatever this might be, let it come in with as much energy as you can come up with.  

Make it as real for you as you can.  The more real that this becomes, the more you have to create an alignment with.  Consider as if you are a third party, as if you are separate from yourself, and you see yourself where you are right now and you see where you would like to be.  There are threads of energy and light that move back and forth.  You may have one or two thin little threads; others have as if a solid wall of energy that aligns you with whatever it is that you seek to have.

Here in the place of creation, allow yourself to consciously release anything that may be getting in your way.  You may know very well what it is, you may not have a clue. It matters not. Simply let go and allow yourself to step into what you seek to have and as you're stepping into whatever this scenario may be, feel as if you reach out and you touch whatever it is. Feel as if you are talking, laughing, enjoying the moment because it's here, it's happened.  I hear some of you saying ‘finally'.  So you take it in.  You allow.  

Let that slide away from you.  As you do so you may have a sense of sending it downward. So that it comes into and around you in your physical place.  As it moves into wherever you are there may be a need to send out threads of energy that link whatever your creation is from you to whomever it whatever it may be so those threads of energy and light move out from your physical reality. 

There, it's done, it's complete!  It's as if there was a burden or an energy that was there almost like sitting on your back or sitting in your consciousness as if it was keeping you from being able to look at other things until you completed that. It's done, so release it as if you are blowing out a big breath of air; just release it and let go and clear out any of those old particles of energy or light.  

This is now a time when you can think about what's fun.  How much fun do you have in your life?  How much joy is there in your daily activities?  Let yourself feel as if you are soaring through the Universe simply for the joy of it.  Feel what it is to let your consciousness expand in every direction just because.  What would it be like to live without expectation; to live without the burden of having to ‘heal' something, ‘fix' something, ‘do' something? 

What is your life if all you need to do is feel joy?  In this moment as you are here in the All That Is or soaring throughout the Universe as some of you did, let joy come up even bigger and more expanded than it was.  As if you are riding upon a wave, as if joy is limitless.  And as you feel this joy moving through you, let go anything else, let go of anything except the feeling of joy.  

What a relief that is!  It's a relief to feel that deep of a sense.  It's a relief to let go  those burdens you've been carrying around.  It's a relief to let go of the expectation that you have had.  Oh boy, life without expectation.  As you consider life without expectation or without anything except to be in a space of joy, it transitions many, many things or opportunities.  Let us shift onto Ariellis again.

Having released in such a way and then aligned yourself with joy, what is your perception of this space? Um hmm, joy is the foundation of the energy for Ariellis.  Living without the same kind of rigid guidelines is another experience here.  I so very much love the human experience because I find I am seeing it already, that if there is a total space of joy or lack of expectation, people consider it boring. People say ‘well, what do we do with ourselves?' 

It's as if simply existing and emanating who you are is not enough; you need more. And that's okay. Because that is so much a part of what the human experience is upon the Earth it's okay to let that be a part of your life.  But I invite you to come here and have a hiatus; take those little mini vacations.  Be in this space of Ariellis where you can walk around, you can experience your life, you can practice whatever it is that you may want to practice, then take it all back into your daily life.

As you stand here upon the surface of Ariellis and as you're looking around, ask to look with your inner eyes just to see the earth.  What is your perception?  Does it give you some assistance in expanding your perception by viewing it in this manner?  You may look around at the Universe.  You may have a sense that there is so much energy moving towards and around the Earth at this time.  Here from within the space of Ariellis, you put forth the intention to align with whatever that energy is and you can feel it coming within you.  

As you align with whatever this energy may be, feel how it gives you a sense of vitality.  Feel how it strengthens and enhances everything that is you. Let this flow through you as these energies are making their way onto or into the Earth.

As you think about your life.  You have your story; you have a lot of drama or a little drama.  As you look around, how is that story impacting you within this place?  It has had a significant affect upon you in your time on Earth.  Sometimes even when you go beyond Earth, returning back within your I AM presence, it still has an affect upon you.  There are many, many things that seem so intense and so important to you in your daily life. Yet when you take a step back, it's a little blip, it's a little bump.  

As you stand or move through this space where joy, love, awareness is the foundation, and where you are without any structure; have a new perspective for the drama experiences of your life.  Sometimes this will give you a greater clarity that will help you understand.   Other times it may help you to see it's much better to let it go, just drop it, just let it go. Breathe in awareness.  Breathe in understanding.  Breathe in complete love and acceptance.  This is you.  This is you all the way down to the smallest particle, all the way up through your physical being and beyond.  Breathe and allow.

Do you have a sense of how Ariellis is beginning to feel much like the All That Is or the crystalline grid or the soul plane?  It is as if the energies as they overlap are blending and creating alignments that allow for there to be a greater ease in moving, moving your consciousness, moving your awareness, shifting energies.  The more that you are in the moment, allowing your focus to be here within this space and allowing yourself to feel the joy, the easier it is to shift. 

Come with me; feel yourselves for a moment, here in Ariellis and then feel the soul plane.  Look around, have a sense.  It is different.  There are similarities.  Shift into the crystalline grid; feel the huge variation of energy that is represented here. From there shift back into the All That Is; feel this too as each of these have had their very subtle differences. 

And then reach towards the Earth.  Because you are human, because you are living upon the Earth, you get the greatest differences in perception.  Look at how much of these higher vibrational energies infuse more and more of the Earth-bound reality.  What would you like to see for yourself? The joy and the awareness of being who you are; just simply you are that you are. This allows you to experience a greater and greater depth. 

So coming back around into the All That Is, you have the ability to shift as easily as that anytime that you seek to do so.  You have the ability to let go the drama of your life.  You have the ability in each moment to be focused upon a joyful existence and then everything else falling into line from there.  Yes, this can be your reality!

So with that, come back together as a group.  See this hologram of the Earth.  You see the hologram of Ariellis.  But this time it's as if there is a sense of all that various energy that is coming from the Universe also coming into these holograms.  It is all related. It all has a sense of alignment.  As you allow your energies to be transmitted into the hologram, infuse the energy or shall I say infuse the knowledge that you have within your life what you seek to have.  If there is anything less than that, breathe in the joy and consciously release resistance. 

Do you see how the holograms transition as I speak of this?  It's as if they reflect the varying light and energy as each of you shifts your consciousness and your intention.  See it with the holograms and so too that is what occurs upon the Earth. It is much more than what you realise.  It is also much simpler than what you anticipate.

So release these holograms; allow them to move through.  They move in every direction, moving out through the Universe, moving down around the physical Earth, around Ariellis and they are actually moving through each one of you.  Feel yourself as if you are looking down or looking inward, then open to ask is there a message.  Feel it, allow it, experience it.

Allow your consciousness to begin to move back into the soul plane.  You pause there for a moment and then you shift your focus into the crystalline grid. As your energy flows through the gridwork it comes into contact with the magnetic grid.  Here once more you feel the pull of the Earth; you feel the pull of the gravity.   But it is different, it is shifting.

Allow yourself to continue to move downward.  Feel as your consciousness fully returns within your physical body. As it comes back within your physical body, adjust your shoulders, your back, your head your neck; whatever it may be.  Breathe deeply breathing all the way down within yourself.  As you do so you begin to anchor these energies.  You anchor the consciousness of joy.  You anchor how it feels to have let go the drama or the story of your life; you anchor how it is to live in the moment and allow joy to be your guidance.

You also anchor once more what you created at the beginning but look - there are subtle changes, because now you have let go your story or your drama.  Allow that all to flow through you; experience it for what it is.  Continue to anchor your energies. Continue to allow yourself to come back within your physical body and as you do so you are welcome to come back within this room. 

I open to receive any questions that you may have.  You may press *7 upon your phone and that will put you into the queue so that I may speak with you.  As we await the first person I invite you to also focus upon feeling joyful in this moment.

Question: I would like to know what would be most beneficial for my continued spiritual growth at this time.

Answer: Alright beloved, as I'm linking with you I get a feeling of  a couple of different things I'd like to share.  First of all, you are much further along your path than you give yourself credit for.   I have a sense as I'm looking at you that there are so many ways you receive communication and so many ways that you communicate with your divinity, with your angels, with your higher vibration.  Then when it comes into your human self, she is not always picking up on or realizing that is where that is coming from.  So it feels to me that the  next step you are taking is to first of all acknowledge that you have already done a great deal of education on and within yourself.  By accepting and acknowledging that it will take you on the next step of your journey which is to have a human personification of all this ability that you have.  Does that make sense to you at all?

Yes it does, I do feel that.

We feel also that you don't need to do as much of the external work as you do creating of the alignment.  What we mean is that if you take a class; by all means do so for the joy and fun of it.  But don't feel you have to take a certain number of classes, take a particular course or get a particular attunement; you don't have to do any particular process. You need only do what feels good and then open to the acceptance of that. Beloved, as I'm saying, you are much further along than you realize. 

Thank you.

You are very welcome. Whew!  We felt this surge of energy go through as you said that thank you.  It was as if you opened and accepted at that moment and then a surge went moving through you.  So we simply say be open and allow.

Question: Hello Goddess?  With tonight's channeling I would like to ask how much it has helped my physical body with its transition. 

Answer: it feels as if you physical body is holding onto old energies of this lifetime.  By that I mean if feels like there has been a great deal you've gone through physically, mentally, emotionally; your physical body that has manifested the emotional and mental trauma or experiences also.  What I saw you doing tonight during the journey as you were letting go of the pathway you have been upon.  You were letting go of your story. You were letting go of the past in essence, what you were doing was also creating a shift in your molecular structure so that it could allow you to manifest a more healthy, but that's not really the word we want.  We see your body as more crystalline.  It's as if in the integration of the crystalline body you are releasing and letting go of more and more of the density. You have already done a great deal of it.  You are in the stage of integrating further and further what you seek to have in the future. Does that resonate with you?

I hope so!

It doesn't feel that way to you? Even with this journey tonight?

I can feel my molecules vibrating very good.  I've done so much work and I've felt lately a couple symptoms that have thrown me off track. 

So those symptoms you are feeling that make you feel as if you are thrown off track, recognize that that is an occurrence that is happening simply to give you a heads up to reaffirm what you want to have, to reaffirm what you know you have within yourself.  You know right in this moment.  So if you forget at some point which is basically what happens when you get thrown off track; you acknowledge that experience for what it is and then you bring yourself back into balance once more.  We see that it is happening less and less often and when it does happen, you are coming out of it more quickly.  Is that your experience also?

Ummm, yes.

So that's the best way to look at it we believe; that feeling or that sense that you can come back into balance with greater and greater ease. 

Thank you.

Just one last thing, you are also living your life with greater and greater percentages of a balanced life.  

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Question: Goddess, I accepted an offer on my house and it looks like I have to be out by the 30th of this month.  I am wondering if my next step is exploring New Mexico.

Answer:  Let's see what we find for you.  We feel as if there is some resistance in you. We think its fear because you don't really know where you're going to go or what you are going to do.  This fear that we see as we look at you right now is holding you where you are rather than opening to potentials. So let me breathe with you for a minute beloved.  Let both of us just breathe in slowly and deeply.  As you are breathing within yourself, feel my energies as I merge with you.  As you breathe out, consciously let go the fear, let go the resistance, let go of anything.  (Shelly took a deep breath in and out.)  There, okay now it's much more open!  Now we have a sense of seeing several different opportunities.  As soon as we looked at you, we saw Oregon come up, we saw New Mexico come up, we saw LA, we saw the Sedona area like Flagstaff and then we even saw Colorado.  We felt as if from where you are, these shooting stars went out to multiple different places.  The sense we got from that is that you can choose any one of them to be your next place to go.  They all have potentials and opportunities.  So when you go back within yourself, when you think of what is joyful to you and what would make you happy to go do; let that be your guidance.  It feels to us as if you've been holding up a burden for a very long time and the burden is about to be released with the sale of your house.  That is the final closure.    

We sense the next step for you is about finding the place where you can just let yourself go.  You can let yourself relax, you can let yourself unwind.  It feels like there is a friend around you and you are staying with this friend.  She is someone who really knows you, she knows you deeply, deeply, deeply.  You don't have to be strong any more.  You don't have to do all these things. You will stay there at least a few weeks if not a month or even two months.  From there it feels like you can get a better balance of where you might decide to permanently move.  For the first step that's what it feels is going to happen. 

Is this my friend in Arizona, Prescott Arizona?  (In Flagstaff?)  No in Prescott, Arizona, my friend in Prescott Arizona. 

Okay, let's see.  It feels like that but it feels different.  Tell us her name and let us see if that gives us a better sense. 

Tory Bowen.

You know, it does not have a great resonance around it.  It feels like there's a potential, but it feels like there is someone else.  It's so hard to describe her!  To us it feels like she is very much in alignment with you, it feels like she is standing here with us right now.  It feels like.... Um.... We're asking her why hasn't she sent the invitation yet and it feels like she's been doing something or something was going on and she didn't realize you were so close to selling your house.  We're trying to get her name.  It's coming out like Anna or something like that.  We have a sense of dark hair, glasses and like she's jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber; she's talking a lot.  Anyway, we do feel some resonance around your friend in Prescott; it's just not a bright light resonance.  So we would say keep your resonance open.  Maybe go down through your address book and kind of revisit people who have been good friends to you.  It may be that you have kind of lost contact with her over the years, but it's the kind of friendship that is never fully gone away even if you don't talk to each other for a time.  We just sense that you will know.  We wish we could give you a better name or idea.  If indeed it is this friend in Prescott, then go for it.  Go for what YOU know to be your truth and your instinct.  Alright beloved?

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. We feel that with answers like that it's clear a mud!   We're sorry that sometimes that is the way it comes out, but that's the best we can do in certain circumstance. Sometimes days or a week or two needs to go by before more and more becomes apparent.  So give it that time and allow things to unfold as your best bet.  Alright beloved.

We had a bit smaller group tonight and it looks like we have called on everybody.  We ask you not to ask a question if you have done so recently, but please go ahead.

Question: Hi Goddess, I have a question.  Today I felt such overwhelming sadness that just goes to the depth of my being.  I noticed that this has been going on with me for a long time, it's getting stronger I think because I'm working with Shelly, things are coming up.  I have a really abusive mother and sometimes I feel such deep sadness.  I'll be going through the day and doing okay and all of a sudden I feel this wave that is so overpowering and it's getting stronger.  You know Goddess, I feel so broken, so dysfunctional. I'm wondering if you can help me with this.  

Answer: First of all beloved, let us reach out.  I am opening up my arms, we're reaching out our energy and I'm flowing my energy into and around you.  Let us first of all come in and create a space of support for you so that we can support you, can flow this energy; can help you let go of this deep sadness and pain you've been experiencing.  The next thing we want to do as you allow that to flow within you --- we know that you have been working a great deal with me and with the group as you work with Shelly--- but in the space where we are right now, we're going to work again with releasing any lingering energies that have to do with your mother; letting go anything at all that has to do with past experiences.  This journey in particular for you is very profound.  We think that is one reason you were feeling that sadness all day is because you were having an opportunity to let go that past experience.  As you are breathing deeply within yourself, you link to that story that you had in this lifetime, the experiences of this lifetime.  You release that. You step out of that book and into a new book, one of your creation, one that you start from scratch, one that begins right here, right now!  You are now going to be writing a book of your life that is filled with joy; every thought, every idea, every experience is based in joy.  As you move forward, if you have sadness or anything that lingers from the past, then recognize it is over, it is past, it is done! You are going to breathe in the choice that you are moving forward.  You are breathing in that you choose joy, you choose love, you choose a new beginning for yourself.  Can you feel those energies shifting beloved?

I feel the warmth coming through.  Sometimes it's so overpowering I ask the father to take me home because I just can't be here anymore.  It hurts so much and I just can't take it anymore.  In my heart, in my being, every cell is suffering.  It's just too painful to be here anymore Goddess. I'm so sorry.

So use this as a moment to release all of that.  Let it go, let it flow away from you.  Of course if you did choose to transition, God is here, Goddess we are always ready to receive you with open arms.  But we both see that you have a life that is filled with experiences of what it is like to be beyond this; of what it's like to be fully healthy and fully cognizant within yourself, for you to be in that space where your heart center is open and your love and awareness flows through your heart at all times.  So you are moving past this, you are moving through this, you are creating a new beginning. 

It's just so hopeless.  I got broken when I was young and I'm just not fixable.  You know I missed the beginning of your conference because it was playing music.  So when you did the releasing thing, I missed it.

Well, you still experienced it.  We talked about creating a new story for yourself.  Yes all of these things happened.  Yes they had a humongous impact upon your life.  But it does not have to be that way going forward from here.  You've done all the work, you've done a tremendous amount of work.  So remind yourself that you do have those moments when you feel good.  You do have the time when you feel things throughout you.  Let those moments be what grows bigger and bigger. 

What about this sadness?  It's so overpowering.  Why does it come upon me?

Because you are releasing it, because you are bringing it up.  As you continue to release the layers that held it intact, or held it to you;  it's as if it's an old memory or pattern that comes around.

Can you help release or clear whatever needs to be released so it can't hook on?

We don't have a sense of it hooking onto you anywhere. We don't know why you are feeling it so strongly today.  To us as we look at you and see you, we see you as a bright light that is there within you shining forth.  We see as if it's a small aspect or one or two aspects of you that feel that sadness or old lingering pain.  If anything, breathe within yourself with the conscious intention to align with the rest of you that you may release this energy and release this sadness.  You can do it and you are doing it. 

Thank you.  Do you see hope for me?

Always, there is always hope for everybody. 

Question:  It was a great experience for me tonight and my brain felt like a cell phone! Like it was going from one side to another.  Then I felt a pressure and pain in my gums.  I'm wondering if this problem or energy that is stuck there will be released now. I have a problem all the times since I exist. 

Answer:  You mean gums in your mouth? (Yes) It feels to us as we look at you as if, it's like those stories or those various life existences have been lingering with you or sticking to you more than what you realized.  It feels as if you've let them go and let them go, stepped outside; but yet something within you was still holding on, perhaps more than what you realized.  It felt like with this journey tonight you were releasing those last threads of something you had released before.  It feels when we look at you now as if there is much greater clarity.  Almost when you came back as if you said ‘well wait a second, who was that person, was that somebody different, was that my sister, was that somebody else?' It feels as if there was a much greater clearing as if a profound transformation has taken place.  As we look at you now, we see you with the much greater balance and awareness. 

Thank you, that's what I felt, that finally something was released. 

So coming back to your gums and teeth; it feels as if there has always been a sensitivity about that and it will continue. But it doesn't feel like it will be as painful as it was in the past. 

Thank you very much.

You're welcome!

All right beloved family, thank you as always for coming in and sharing this evening with me. As you are living your life I remind you to let go the drama, let go the story, let go the past existences that may keep you turning around and turning around in that same space. 

You have the ability to create your life. You have choices in your life, so open and allow those choices to be based on joy and based on love.

I am ever with you and within.

Emotions and dealing with them Qu’o

Channeler: Carla L. Rueckert

Jim: The question this evening has to do with emotions. We recognize love and fear as being polar opposites and we’re wondering if all the other emotions, such as jealousy, anger, doubt, greed, gluttony and so forth are some sort of a mixture of fear with love and if there is positive use that we can make of these supposedly negative emotions. Is there some benefit we can get from working with these emotions? What spiritual principles can we use to look at the various emotions that we come across in our daily lives?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. Thank you for calling us to your circle of seeking this evening. It is a privilege to be called and we are most happy to share our thoughts with you on the subject of emotions, love and fear.

As always, however, before we begin we would ask of each of you who hears or reads these words that you use your powers of discrimination and discernment in choosing which thoughts of ours you might wish to use as resources for your spiritual journey. We would ask that you follow the path of resonance. And if ideas do not resonate to you then please leave them behind without a second thought. We would not wish to be a stumbling block to you but only a resource. We thank you for this consideration.

You asked this evening concerning emotions. We find that among your people, emotions are often unappreciated and dishonored by those who would wish to live a spiritually oriented life. From our perspective, however, the emotions that you feel are gifts of enormous worth. Whereas the mind moves from thought to thought, generally governed by logic and the intellect, the heart moves from emotion to emotion, generally with no intellectual component whatsoever. For emotions are those gifts of the heart that stem from the very depths and roots of your consciousness.

Thusly, when you are attempting to think about emotions, you are attempting to think about that which has its reality in time/space, for [emotions] come from your consciousness rather than your intellect or mentality. Each person has a different and unique mentality and personality. However, as members of the tribe of humankind on your planet in third density, you share one consciousness. Your jealousy and another’s jealousy has the same energy. Your love and another’s love of a certain frequency has the same energy. It is emotions rather than thoughts which unite your people.

Now, in the roots of consciousness which this instrument calls the archetypal mind, the emotions can be mapped, much as the waterways of your continent can be mapped. There are rivers of emotions of various kinds, both those emotions you would call positive, such as joy, bliss and happiness, and emotions you would call negative, such as greed, gluttony and lust. Yet each emotion flows from its most distorted or extreme manifestation, through a succession of removals of distortion, until at last they all empty into the ocean that you would call the Logos or unconditional love or bliss.

This instrument has been attempting to define emotions along some sort of a yardstick or ruler attempting to measure emotions by the ratio of love to fear, this instrument having posited that love and fear are the fundamental opposites of emotion. [1] And we would suggest that while there is an element of truth in this thought, that it attempts to corral and compress the 360 degrees of emotions into a two-dimensional, straight line. This attempt in itself is a distortion of the model, shall we say, which we might suggest to be more useful for thinking about emotions.

In some ways, emotions can be perceived in terms of complementary colors. Those who wish to decorate their walls, for instance, will find a color wheel in which complementary colors are shown. And various contrasts are seen that are dynamic opposites. We find this wheel of color concept to be of use in talking about emotions.

However, it is not correct, in our humble opinion, to attempt to attach significance to the colors of emotions in that, for instance, it is said that someone is feeling “blue,” and there may well be a relationship betwixt that color or feeling which is blueness and that emotion. However, it is not valid to link “feeling blue” to the blue ray or the blue energy center, any more than a person who is “yellow” is operating from the yellow ray, or a person who is “green with envy” is operating from the heart chakra. In this sense there is no connection betwixt color and the emotions. They cannot be attached to any one chakra or ray. It is, however, a useful exercise when thinking about emotions to think of complementary colors and the track along which a certain kind of emotion might fall, so that one might begin to develop a wheel of emotions.

One way to look at emotions is to see where the love is in the emotion. For instance, if one considers the emotion of jealousy, the emotion of love is clearly seen, in that the object which has inspired one’s jealousy is greatly loved. Therefore, the jealousy has love at its heart, yet [it is] tinged by the fear of the loss of that love. [Therefore] the energy of the love becomes quite different from the original free and easy feeling of love.

We would suggest that there are complementary emotions, so that one may take radii out from the center of the wheel of emotions which is unconditional love, that love which this instrument would say is Christlike or which carries Christ Consciousness.

From that original love or that sea of bliss in the archetypal mind there spring forth the natural rays all around the 360 degrees of personhood.

Another way to evaluate emotions is to look at the faculty of will, desire or expectation. The clearest way to approach emotion, living day-to-day, would be to remain transparent and unattached to the outcome of one’s objects of desire or will or one’s expectations. However, it is precisely the inability of the individual within incarnation to remain unattached to outcomes which creates the bulk of distorted emotional reactions. Thusly, if one loved another purely and without attachment of any kind, and that object of love chose to move into relationship with another self beside the self, in the unattached entity this would be only a source of joy, knowing that the other self that is so beloved was doing something that he or she enjoyed. However, it is seldom that entities are unattached in this way.

If one looks at the meat of the spiritual life, it is clear that it is a blessing that the entity within incarnation is attached to outcomes and has distortions and expectations and desires, because these elements create the potential for feeling emotions and engaging consciousness in new and different ways.

Another element which is important to consider when looking at emotions is that faculty which you call judgment. The seeker who feels surface emotions tends to be non-judgmental if the emotions seem positive but quite judgmental if one’s own emotions seem to be from the shadow side of the self and express the darkness within. Now, if one were looking at a color wheel one would not judge the dark colors as inferior to the lighter colors but would see that all the range of colors would be needed to create all pleasing harmony within one’s color scheme. One would not shun the use of the notes of brown and gray and black and navy blue, for instance, as opposed to the pastels and the lighter colors in their earth tones such as the light tan, the light gray, and so forth. All of these colors equally are valued in building an environment which is pleasing to you personally.

As the spiritual seeker becomes more mature, each experience is another opportunity to work with a surface emotion and to refine or purify that emotion by offering it up as a spontaneous and pure feeling, without judgment, without asking the self to be one who feels only the positive emotions. Each emotion starts out, in the immature entity, as that which is confused and chaotic and has a high degree of static or noise as opposed to signal. Consequently, as a spiritual seeker, each time an emotion arises you are working to feel it without shrinking from it or reaching towards it, the goal being not to do anything with the emotion except to allow it to sink into the consciousness of the present moment.

As you give respect and honor to surface emotions you allow them the spaciousness to begin to filter down past the first levels of impulsivity and self-judgment. And as you allow yourself the space and the time for this emotion to tell its story to you, you are sinking into the roots of your own consciousness and beginning to be able to feel each emotion as a more distinct, pure and clarified color, shall we say.

It is possible, indeed probable, that some sort of ongoing contemplation of the archetypal mind may help the seeker to evaluate and think about the experiences of emotion that he has. Within the glyph of the Tree of Life, for instance, there are various emotions that are linked to the middle pillar, the feminine pillar, and the masculine pillar. It might be interesting to contemplate where the emotions that you experience day-by-day might fit on that Tree of Life glyph. [2]

Similarly, if one has a bent towards astrology, the ins and outs of the various signs and houses are to some a real aid and resource when working with understanding one’s emotions.

Lastly, as this particular group has done in the past, there is the possibility of gazing at the world of emotion and the nature of consciousness by working with the twenty-two images of the tarot. [3] As one looks at each concept complex, one may begin to see relationships betwixt various emotions.

This is subtle work, my friends, and the nature of consciousness is that of paradox, mystery and infinity, so that you do not have the comfort which the intellect might offer of finding neat and tidy explanations or orders to emotions within one’s life or within the creation of the infinite One. Rather, emotion, like the rivers and lakes of your planet, is an ever flowing, ever changing, ever evolving water system, shall we say, or circulation system of the consciousness of the one Creator.

You ask what spiritual principles can be used to think about emotion and we would offer you the principle of unity. You are all one. You do share an instinctual, fundamental and authentic awareness of the stuff of emotion. This is something that is trustworthy—that you have emotions in common with each other. There is no emotion that you can feel that others have not felt before you and will not feel after you.

In a way, emotions have more coherence than the workings of the intellect which would seem to be so much more coherent because of the nature of logic. However, logic can be spun to create sophistic rationales for anything desired, whereas emotions are stubbornly what they are. One may attempt to tamper with an emotion to make it different than it is, yet it is not in tampering [with emotions], or attempting to adjust emotions that you do not prefer, that create a skillful approach to emotion. Rather, it is to the one who trusts each and every emotion enough to give it space and time in which to articulate itself within your awareness that emotions shall begin to offer you the reward of that feeling of oneself that goes beyond the linear.

You are infinite beings. And yet on the surface of the mind there is a far more pale and watery feeling to the emotions of the day than you are able to experience when you stick with gazing at each and every emotion with respect and the lack of judgment.

The one known as L was saying earlier that there were those she met in the course of doing her job and her service to others who called up from within her feelings of really bright anger. What was she to do with this sudden and impulsive anger? Was she to attempt to squash it or to repress it? Was she to give it so much honor that she expressed that anger in ways that were not of service to others? How was she to handle feeling this sudden, impulsive anger? This occurs time and time again in the course of each and every day for each and every spiritual seeker.

And it would seem that there is no useful function for the negative emotions, whereas the positive emotions such as joy, admiration and love of a romantic or friendly nature are feel-good emotions that are hardly ever evaluated or judged. Nevertheless, it is very helpful when working with positive emotions to pay attention to them also. For just like the negative emotions, the surface of a positive emotion is only the beginning of its intensity, its clarity and its vitality, and it is to the spiritual seeker who focuses on such surface emotions such as joy and allows them to expand and, as we said before, to tell their story around the campfire of the self as it experiences itself that the gift of positive emotions shall come.

Likewise, when experiencing the seemingly negative or shadow emotions it is quite useful to behold and allow the awareness of these surface emotions to remain, not pushing them away because they are uncomfortable to behold, not saying, “Well, this can’t be me, I would never be so negative,” but rather gazing at this dark color of emotion and asking it to clarify, to refine itself, to become more pure.

The one known as L asked, “Well, what use are negative emotions? Can I use them?” We would suggest that the value of even the darkest seeming emotion is equal to the value of the most seemingly positive emotion in that it is a valid and honored part of all that there is. You are everything, every emotion. And each emotion has its place in creating of you within incarnation a less and less unbalanced and distorted expression, if you will, of the one Creator, for each of you is an expression of the one Creator.

As we have said through this instrument many times, it is the darker emotions, such as anger, that when allowed to become refined and purified create the grit, the muscle, the determination, the energy of enduring and persevering and winning through to the goals of your incarnation. If you do not have that driving energy that is expressed in anger within you in a more purified and refined state, you do not have the energy to be patient with the self as it is refined in the athanor or the furnace of experience.

This instrument was working with a quote from the Holy Bible earlier today that said that the one known as Jesus the Christ did not come into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. [4] We would suggest that you be as merciful with yourself when working with negative emotions as would the one known as Jesus be. He was not interested in working with those who were free of error; he was interested in working with those who were distorted, who were hurting, who were suffering, who were in the darkness of confusion. Let that climate of complete non-judgment be your working attitude as you allow each emotion its proper place in your consciousness, and as you ask of yourself that you provide a continuing environment within yourself in which honored and respected emotions may gradually be purified and refined.

Your goal, then, is not to balance emotions until here is no emotion, but to experience each emotion in ways which allow those emotions to go from being muddy and confused to a place where each emotion is a jewel-tone. Gems come in all colors from black to white and everything in between. And the beauty of each is unique to that particular gem. Your emotions are gemlike. And when you have been able to allow the murk and the mud and the impulsivity gradually to evaporate from the heart and essence of each emotion, you are as one who has dug in the ore to mine those gems of self which you have in common with all those of your fellow humans. And as those energies within you are purified, there is less and less distortion [and] more and more balance, and less and less of that component of fear which we began by discussing. For it is indeed a valid observation that the one great original Thought is the emotion that is at the heart of every emotion, positive or negative. This is a trustworthy statement as far as we know. Every shade of emotion has its root in love, love unconditional, love un-judging, utter and absolute love. The oftener that you are able, at the end of working with emotions, to come back to love and to allow that love to overflow all other considerations, the stronger you shall be in being able to do this work of allowing the self to bloom.

Each of you is like a flower. And certainly if one looks at each entity’s energy body, each chakra is like a flower of a certain shape and of a certain potential for becoming more brilliant, more many-petaled and fuller of bloom. So think of working with your emotions as if you were working with the energies of dancing or music or poetry.

Allow boundaries to collapse, so that you begin to feel the connections between positive and negative emotions. As you become more fearless and flexible in working with balancing each emotion, you are allowing those chakras of your energy body to become more brilliant, more fully petaled, more articulated and more powerful.

We would conclude this observation of emotions with the concept of power. In an entity who is not attempting to seek spiritually or to find out by some way who he is and why he is here, the emotions shall generally remain fairly muddy and un-clarified, for there is really no incentive for one who does not realize the gifts that emotions represent to do the work necessary to begin to refine and purify these authentic and infinitely meaningful feelings that are the rays of your essential beingness as a creature of love.

We have mentioned the balancing exercise many times through this instrument, and we would refer to it once again briefly for it is a very useful way to work with emotions.

The nature of all that is not the one original Thought is to be distorted. Distortion is not a bad word. Distortion is not an insulting word. There is distortion in all manifestation, even the highest and best you can imagine. If there were no distortion, there would be no creation, for the creation itself, in its manifested aspect, is a series of nested distortions. Thusly, one is not attempting to remove distortion completely, but rather to allow it to become more coherent; to change stuttering and muddy colors to laser lights and jewels.

The work of the balance exercise is simply to find each trigger which moved you this day from a certain default balance to an unbalanced or distorted reaction, whether it was for positive or negative, so-called.

Looking at those things within the self, looking at the process by which one was pulled off center, tells you about yourself. And as you allow those feelings to be viewed again and even to be intensified and then, as you allow the seemingly opposite emotion to come, as a complementary color would be seen across the color wheel, you lessen distortion within yourself by encouraging the equal respect given to both the seemingly negative and the seemingly positive.

As we said before, this is subtle work, but it is the work that you are here to do in terms of learning about yourself, learning who you are; in beginning to feel an authenticity of being that is more and more profound, so that you are a sturdier warrior of the light than you were before. Every emotion has its place. The surface of emotions is only the beginning of them.

We wish you the very best of journeys of exploration as you work with these emotions to learn of each and every essence that makes you who you are. You will find that all emotions, once they have been purified, work in harmony to create of you a human being. The nature of the human is to be ethically oriented and to desire to serve, to love and to know. Trust your emotions to help you learn these things. And as you relate to others, trust the emotions in them that resonate with your own in terms of dealing with each entity at the soul level.

Before we leave this instrument we would ask if there is a query, or a follow-up to this question. We are those of Q’uo.

(Pause)

Since we seemed to have exhausted the queries within this group this evening, then it falls to us to release this connection to this instrument and to this group. We would like to thank you again for calling us to your circle of seeking. It has been a joy and we are so grateful to each of you for crafting time and space in your very busy lives in order to come and seek for truth together. The sacred space that you have created with your desire and your longing is a stunningly beautiful thing and we thank you for that also.

We leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.
