Spiritual teachers have always pointed to the heart as the seat of
consciousness, and recently Western science has found evidence to support
this realization. It turns out that the heart has its own central nervous
system and is not simply under the rule of the brain as formerly believed.
Anyone who has taken the time to explore the heart knows this and, more
important, has realized that the heart is the source of our connection to a
consciousness greater than the ego. Approaching life with an open heart
means that we have opened the door to this greater consciousness, taking up
residence alongside it in the seat of our soul. Fortunately, at this time
there is a lot of support for this shift energetically as well as
practically. To some degree, approaching life with an open heart is as
simple as shifting your attention onto your heart.

Eventually you will be able do this any time, any place, but at first it may
help to try it in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Simply sit
with your eyes closed and draw your breath into your heart. As your breath
expands your chest cavity, your heart expands and opens. You may feel
tenderness or sadness in your heart, and you may also feel relief. Any
emotions that arise can be effectively witnessed and healed through the
meditation process, which benefits both your physical heart and your
energetic heart. The more you practice, the more you will find your heart
opening to your own presence and to all the situations your life brings.

When we open our hearts, they may feel tender and vulnerable, which simply
means that they need our loving attention as we cleanse and heal them of
past hurts and blockages. This process asks us to practice some of the
heart's greatest lessons-patience, compassion, and unconditional love. On
the other hand, we may take up residence as effortlessly as a bird returns
to its nest. Either way, approaching life with an open heart simply means
returning to our true home.

Self-Acceptance and Remorse from Sedona Journal of Emergence

The Power and Beauty of Self-Acceptance
Lazaris through Jach Pursel
An excerpt from Connecting with Lazaris tape

It is a pleasure, it is a joy.  We say it so many times, and yet
each time we truly mean it as though we have said it for the very
first time.  It is a pleasure.  It is a joy.  And it always will
be.  It is also fun.  Yes, it is also fun to connect with you
whenever that occurs.  It is so much fun now to connect with you
once again, to be with you and work with you.


And we love you.  As often as you have heard us talk of the
pleasure, joy and fun, it is still harder to hear us talk about
loving you.  Some feel embarrassed when we say that; some get
nervous, assuming that surely we do not mean them.  Others dismiss
that love as something we have for all consciousness and for all
humankind.  Truly, we do love all consciousness and all humankind,
and we love you.  We love you.


As you read these words right now, you may be feeling a bit
embarrassed, nervous or dismissive when you read that we love you.
Nonetheless, we do love you.  You are loved.  Your higher self loves
you.


When you hear us or others speak about that love for you, too often
you let the words pass on by.  You let them slip right on by without
letting them touch you at all _ not because you are being rude or
anything like that, no.  Often it is because you lack self-
acceptance, or the self-acceptance that you do have is lacking or
lacks luster.


So we want you to stop for a moment.  We want you to stop and let it
in: We love you and your higher self loves you.  That's right.  Even
now as you are sitting there reading these words, we mean you.  So
stop.  Breathe deeply.  Let it in.  You are loved.  Accept that: You
are loved.


Our commitment to you is forever and a day.  Likewise is the
commitment of your higher self.  No matter what you do, they and we
will be there.  However fast you grow, however many changes you
make, they and we will be there.  We are walking with you because we
love you.  We are pointing things out as we walk and love together.
We are working to help you understand in a different and deeper,
more profound and more helpful way.


They and we are always right beside you, perhaps half a step ahead.
No matter how slowly you grow or how often you set down your
metaphysics, promising to get back to it when you have more time and
feeling guilty when that time seems to grow and extend, it does not
matter.  No matter what you do, we love you; your higher self loves
you.


No matter what you do, we will both be there to laugh with you and
even to cry with you, to celebrate certainly, and to be silent with
you.  And if you choose to shut us out, we will respect that
decision as well, because we love you.


We love you that much, and we love you more.  We will respect you,
and it will seem as though we are no longer there.  But in fact we
are.  And when you reach, we will be there to touch.  We love you.
As consciousness, of course.  As humanity _ it goes without saying,
yes.


But we also love you, and our commitment is to you.  And it is
forever and a day.  As long as there is light _ and the light is
forever _ we shall love you.  We love you.  Let it in.  Let it in.
Let the words register.  Do not let them pass by.  Let them touch
you.


Missing Puzzle Piece in the Mystery


Your resistance to really feeling that commitment, whether from us
or from your higher self, is in direct proportion to your lack of
self-acceptance.  Your reluctance to understanding, taking action,
and to really knowing that love and that commitment is in direct
proportion to the lack of luster to your feelings of self-
acceptance.


You see, when you will not accept yourself  _ really, honestly
accept who you are _ you risk missing so much of the richness and
the magic of life and of living.  Self-acceptance is different from
loving and liking yourself.  Although they are important, even
critical, they are different from self-acceptance.


Likewise, self-acceptance is different from being good enough.
Being good enough, knowing you deserve, is vital to your happiness
and joy, but it is still different from the energy and force of self-
acceptance in that some people can truly love and even like
themselves.  They can know that they are good enough and that they
deserve.  Even so, they do not accept themselves.  They are not at
peace with themselves.


How about you?  Even as you love and like yourself or know yourself,
do you fully accept yourself?  Do you really accept who you are?
Changing, growing, yes.  No, you are not perfect.  But do you
accept, fully embrace, who you are?


Self-acceptance is so key, so critical.  So often we are
asked, "Lazaris, how can I feel more of your love?  How can I know
more of your commitment?  I hear it.  I know it's true, but oh, I
just want to feel more of it.  I even feel it, but I want to
feel . . . "


Self-acceptance is so vital.  The beauty and the power of accepting
yourself, we suggest, is that it allows you to receive _ to really,
genuinely, honestly receive  _ that love, that commitment, and so
much more.  The beauty and power of self-acceptance are that you can
receive the bounty of God/Goddess/All That Is and the abundance of
spirit, soul and of your higher self.  On the physical, emotional,
mental and the etheric levels, you can be the beneficiary of this
august bounty.  You can receive this cornucopia of the Goddess' love
and of many loves.


So what stops you from accepting yourself?  Oh, thousands of things
_ blockages and limiters of all sorts.  We know and you know.  We
are not going to go into all that.


Inability to Feel Remorse


But one thing that stops you is often missed.  We suggest that it is
often ignored among the many reasons you could come up with.  Missed
or ignored, one of the most important puzzle pieces in the mystery
of self-acceptance is remorse.  What stops you?  Refusing to or
being unable to feel genuine remorse for your acts.  Remorse, yes.


Remorse is a scary word.  It scares a lot of people, makes them
shudder.  "Oh, I don't want to feel that.  Besides, I thought we
were not supposed to feel self-pity."


Remorse and self-pity are not the same.  Though many confuse them,
we suggest that remorse has to do with sorrow, not self-pity.  To
feel remorse means to genuinely feel sorrow without also feeling
self-pity.  Succinctly, remorse is feeling genuine sorrow and
feeling honestly sorry for your impact.  It has nothing to do with
self-pity; it has nothing to do with guilt.


As uncomfortable as it may be, most people are not afraid to feel
self-pity or guilt.  But to feel sorrow without these accompaniments
can be frightening.  It can be so frightening that we suggest that
many people within and without the consensus reality often seek or
settle for alternatives to sorrow: self-pity, guilt, martyrdom.
They often settle for feelings of being defenseless and weak, only
to follow these feelings with defensive action.  Some resort to self-
effacing actions of self-recrimination and self-deprecation, which
lead to self-ridicule and self-punishment as their substitute for
feeling remorse.  There are many alternatives.


Something about feeling remorse is to many almost repugnant, as well
as frightening.  Rather than stop and feel remorse, people would
rather go around ridiculing themselves, punishing themselves,
admitting and feeling terribly weak and beginning to believe their
own weaknesses, feeling defenseless and then defensive, then being
caught in another round of self-pity or martyrdom.  What is it about
remorse?  Think about that for a moment.  Isn't it fascinating, as
you step outside of yourself and your world and look at it for a
moment?  There is a world out there _ a reality _ where people are
afraid of feeling sorrow.  They are afraid of saying, admitting, and
fully feeling sorry.  They would rather go through all the torture
of self-pity and martyrdom _ all the humiliation and embarrassment
of defenselessness, and demean themselves with weakness, punishment,
ridicule and self-effacement.  All this to avoid this thing called
remorse.  Why?  Fascinating.  Fascinating, indeed.  What is so
frightening about feeling sorrow?  What is so terrifying about
feeling sorry?


As an infant, among the many things that you were to learn on your
way to early childhood was remorse.  Among the building blocks of
infant/child are several emotional building blocks.  One of them was
that you were supposed to be taught to feel sorry for your actions,
for the impact of your actions.  But it did not happen.  Shame takes
it away, certainly so.  For many, the sense of remorse was swallowed
up and lost in their sense of shame.  There are other factors that
robbed you of your sense of remorse.


There was a time, a primal, wonderful time, when you were supposed
to build the foundations of remorse.  But for most of you, that
foundation was never built.  If perchance it was built initially, it
did not grow.  It did not develop structure or armature, and thus
what was initially built crumbled.  Either way, you ended up without
the ability, the capacity, to feel remorse.


As much as you might be willing, as much as you might choose to, you
are unable to genuinely feel remorse.  Without remorse, no matter
how much you may want to, you cannot feel genuine sorrow.  Without
genuine remorse, far more than just saying the word, you cannot
honestly feel sorry.


So what does this all have to do with self-acceptance?  We suggest
the following chain reaction:


  Without remorse, you cannot feel genuine sorrow and be honestly
sorry.


  Without the genuine and honest experience of feeling sorry you will
not fully forgive yourself.


  Without full forgiveness, you are at risk of not fully accepting
yourself.


  Thus without the ability to feel remorse, no matter the good
intention, you risk falling short when it comes to self-acceptance.


When you have done something for which you would normally feel
sorrow and you instead feel self-pity or martyrdom, you end up
punishing yourself with ridicule, effacement or worse.  Even when
the other person forgives you for your action, you do not feel
forgiven.  Perhaps you successfully manipulated their forgiveness,
but you do not feel forgiven.  Manipulative or not, even though the
other person forgave you, you do not feel forgiven and you have not
successfully forgiven yourself.


No matter what words you use, to honestly feel forgiven by another
and to honestly forgive yourself, you must feel remorse.  To fully
accept yourself, you must feel remorse.  To receive the bounty from
God/Goddess/All That Is and from soul/spirit and higher self, you
need the ability to feel remorse.


If you never had a foundation of remorse or if that foundation has
fallen into ruin, it is time now.  It is time to develop the ability
to feel remorse to go along with your willingness, eagerness and
choice to feel it.  With this ability, as well as loving and liking
yourself, and knowing that you are good enough, you can also start
feeling that glorious feeling of acceptance _ of fully accepting
yourself.


Phase 1. Building the


Foundation for Remorse


The foundation, the structure, the fulcrum upon which to build this
feeling of genuine sorrow comes from various personal realizations.
Each statement sounds simple, maybe too simple, on the surface.  But
as each concept comes alive and begins to breathe inside of you, a
foundation with structure and a fulcrum begins to form.


1. "I can make mistakes.  I'm a human being.  I can make mistakes."


2. "I am forgivable.  I can forgive and I can be forgiven."


3. "Sometimes I am prepared and sometimes I'm not prepared.  It will
be that way throughout my life, and that's okay."


4. "My needs, my wants, my desires and preferences have value.
Sometimes they come first; sometimes they don't.  They don't always
have to be first or last in the list."


5.  "I can motivate out of my desire to grow.  My motivation can
come from my longing to grow and change."


6. "I have a foundation and an armature.  I have the substantive
stuff to build character."


7. "I can reach for my spirituality.  There is a piece of
God/Goddess/All That Is in me."


You see, when you honestly know these things about yourself, you can
find the path of remorse and the forgiveness that lies on the other
side of remorse.  Stop reading and let it in for a moment.


When you know that you can make mistakes and that you can be
forgiven, the possibility of feeling remorse becomes more real, more
acceptable.  Sometimes you are prepared and sometimes you are not.
That's life.  You don't always have to be prepared.  There is a
freedom there.


Your needs and wants are important.  They are valuable.  But they do
not have to be the only needs and wants, and they don't always have
to come first or last in order to qualify as being important and
valuable.  Many erroneously assume that if their needs are not
first, they must be last or they must not be important at all.  When
you can know your needs and wants are important because they are
yours, because they belong to you, then you can relax and allow.
There is a peace there.


Your motivation does not have to be duty/obligation or fear/guilt.
You can motivate yourself out of your desire to grow and change.
You can motivate yourself out of the adventure that you seek.  See
how it becomes easier to accept yourself?


You do have the stuff of character and the stuff of ideals and
principles, too.  You have spirituality within you.  Though you know
that "I am God" is just not true of you, it is true to say that
there is a piece of God/Goddess/All That Is inside of you and that
it is becoming more.


When you let each of these statements in and allow them to be real
inside of you, they grow.  They root and sprout.  They grow stronger
inside of you.  As this foundation is forming, it becomes easier to
feel remorse.  The possibility together with ability begins to
grow.  And in it all, self-acceptance becomes more plausible and
more real.  Currently, we would suggest there is a lack of these.
If not an absence, there is a lack of luster to those present in
your reality.


Many feel, I cannot make a mistake.  I'm not forgivable.  I'm never
prepared.  I must deny my own needs and wants in favor of everybody
else's.  I must be motivated out of my badness or out of duty and
obligation, and I do not have a foundation for character.  I am
separate from my spirituality.


If you feel this way, the basis for sorrow, genuine sorrow, is
missing and self-acceptance is more distant.  Without that basis,
the very idea of feeling sorrow, the very idea of feeling sorry, is
very frightening and even repugnant.  It is much more enticing to
flirt with or to fall into self-pity or martyred places.  It is more
convenient to deal in self-effacing ridicule or feel weak or feign
weakness.  It is more familiar to punish yourself.  Anything, almost
anything, seems better than to feel sorrow when there is no basis
for remorse.


During Phase 1, we want you to work with understanding your own
foundation or lack of foundation.  Now, many of you have worked with
some of this already, and therefore it is a matter of reviewing,
reinstituting and familiarizing yourself with what you already
know.  For others, we encourage you to listen to Ending Shame I,
where we talk of proverbial shame and first talk about remorse.  We
also recommend Ending Shame, Part III: Those Adolescent Years,
dealing with adolescent shame.  It is a unique expression of shame.
In that discussion we suggest that you can come to more clearly
understand the role of defensiveness/defenselessness and the role of
arrogance to those adolescent years.  There is righteousness and
blame that is uniquely adolescent, and it relates to the idea
that "I cannot make a mistake."  There is a personal flavor to
forgiveness and to the unforgivingness of those years as well.

Keys to Interdimensional Travel
Aluna Joy Yaxkin
January 1997

Even as a child, I thought it strange that humanity was limited to
the 3rd dimension. I spent hours contemplating this idea and trying
to re-access the other worlds that I was sure existed. By 1986-87 it
was obvious that thousands on the planet were beginning to respond
outwardly to the call of multi-dimensionality. Yet it was not until
this Mayan year of 7 Eb, that I have felt the possibility of
humanity becoming limitless and traveling interdimensionally
becoming a reality.

The Mayan year of 7 Eb, a GAP year, (3/21/1996 to 3/21/1997) is set
apart from other Mayan years with two powerful comets on the
equinoxes. This past Fall Equinox (9/21-22) marked the center of the
Mayan year. Just 4 days later on 1 Imix (9/26), a new Tzolk'in cycle
began with the influence of a full lunar eclipse. According to the
Mayan calendar and Native American traditions, the full lunar
eclipse represents a cosmic doorway that helps humanity cross into
other dimensions to receive teachings that will help us with the
accelerated times in which we live. We will experience multi-
dimensionality not just with our minds and spirits, but also with
our physical bodies! The 2 comets and the lunar eclipse remind us
that there is no time to waste. September 21, 1996, to March 21,
1997, is a critical time for those with the calling to become
multidimensional to walk through the doors to help free humanity! As
we continue to radically transform there will be no grace period
where we can heal and integrate after each wave of energy. Humanity
will need help from those who have gone before and have a clue about
how to deal with the shifts. (For more on the Mayan year 7 Eb refer
to "The Rising of the Sacred World Calendar" in March 1996 issue of
Sedona Journal of Emergence. For more on the Equinoctial comets
refer to "Yahk'utah is with us" in the July 1996 issue of Sedona
Journal of Emergence.)

During travels in the Maya and Inca Lands, and from wisdom shared by
traditional people and the Cosmic Maya, I have had the opportunity
to collect a few pieces to the puzzle that may help us break down
the barriers to becoming multi-dimensional beings. Even though it
can take a lifetime to prepare and re-remember how to
interdimensionally travel, many of us have already completed the
groundwork, enabling us to take the next step. The focus of this
article is to access the inner cities of Lemuria where the masters
reside. Here we can acquire wisdom to be used in service to
humanity.

Interdimensional Travel and UFO's...
Interdimensional travel brings up the topic of UFO's. The
interdimensional travel I am speaking of does not use the
externalization of energy, such as a space ship. Many teachers on
the planet are suggesting that those cosmic brothers and sisters who
use spaceships are externalizing their power. I tend to agree, as
the Cosmic Maya never use a ship. According to Inca spiritual
messenger, Willaru Huayta, the Inca don't use ships either. If we
need a clunky external ship to get us from here to there, we are not
living in our full Christed presence.

Dimensional Travel in Sacred Sites...
Dimensional doorways still exist in Mexico and Peru, along with
countless others at sacred sites scattered across the globe. Many of
these are unmarked and undocumented and can be discovered by being
sensitive to energy. Dimensional doorways in sacred sites have the
advantage of thousands of years of successful interdimensional
travel locked in their etheric records that create portals of energy
facilitating travel. It is easy to plug into the etheric energy,
helping us access our own ability.

In the Mayalands, many dimensional doorways are primarily used for
horizontal travel to other 3D places on the planet and to different
time zones (future-past). Some sites such as Palenque, Quirigua,
Copan, and Tikal, were used to travel to other places in the galaxy.
Others were used to enter the inner earth as well.

In Peru, many doorways are used for entering the crystal/golden
cities. The veils between us and the inner cities are very thin at
this time. The Inti Runa (People from the Sun) are waiting for our
arrival with great anticipation. These Lemurian/Master beings share
useful information and wisdom to help humanity. Machupicchu's
crystal city in Apu Putu Cusi, Tambomachay, Ollantaytambo and the
Dimensional Doorway of Aramu Muru are a few of the most obvious.

CLEARING your space...
Before you begin your journey to the inner cities or to another
dimension, you must clear yourself of negative karma and negative
ego. Any negative emotion and/or past issue that has not been
cleared can cause problems with your travel plans. In short, you
just won't be able to make the journey or you will follow the energy
to a negative place. As you continue to clear, you will be allowed
to enter the cities. (For more information on ego and karma
see "Becoming Inca" in Sedona Journal of Emergence, November, 1996
issue)

Let Go of All Attachments to This World...
An insight received from Willaru Huayta informs us that all
attachments to this world will hold us back in 3D. Our family and
possessions will keep us from walking through the door. We need to
release everything in our life, even attachment to ourselves. This
does not mean we need to sell our belongings and dissolve our
relationships, but it does mean we need to be in control of desires
in our mental and emotional worlds. If we arrive at the door with
hesitation or fear, we still have 3D attachments. We will need to
work on releasing them.

Finish the Day...
Another clue was received from a Native American Elder. He shared we
must finish the day. If we have unfinished business on the day we
wish to travel, it will hold us back. This is especially true if we
are trying to travel to the future. We will not be able to move
through time or across dimensions if the letter we wanted to write
is still sitting on the desk or the cat needs feeding.

Know Your Motivation...
Consider your motivation for desiring to dimensional travel. Ask
yourself what positive benefit it would have for you, or humanity,
if you were allowed to make the journey. If your desire is based in
personal entertainment, or if you are desiring phenomena in you life
to validate yourself, your motivation is based in personal ego.
Gaining access to the crystal cities is a sacred responsibility and
honor. Misusing the experience for personal benefit would create
negative karma. A quick way to discern your motivation is to make a
solemn vow that you will not share your experience with anyone. If
your motivation is selfless and what is to be gained will be used to
benefit humanity, you have passed the next step.

Deep Concentration...
We need to be in complete control of every thought and emotion when
doing this work. It is dangerous to lose concentration when you are
pulling in powerful energy. If you are flooding in powerful solar
forces and have a negative thought you will manifest that thought.
If you are halfway through the door and see a disturbing entity and
let it disrupt you, well...you are going to get yanked abruptly back
into this reality. Be conscious. Stay clear and positive. If you are
in a discordant mood, depressed, agitated...don't do this work. The
South American tribe called the Kogi are masters of deep
concentration. (For more information about the Kogi read the
book "The Elder Brothers" by Alan Ereira or a video called "From The
Heart of the World"). There are many ways to master your thoughts
and emotions, Ascended Master teachings, meditation, breathing
techniques, etc. Find a method that works for you.

Plugging into the Energy...
Once you have completed the preceding steps, you are ready to begin
a journey. This is where our ability to know ourselves and our
connection to the cosmos is imperative, and comes deeply into play.
How one makes the journey is a varied as each human being. This is
why it can take a lifetime to prepare for dimensional journeys.
Where, when, and how you travel is up to spirit and your ability to
hear your personal guidance. Remember, you can't think yourself
there, you need to sense yourself there. If we get stuck in our
heads without engaging our hearts the doors will close. Remember to
use your heart.

Many travel with sound, others with visuals and feeling. The Maya
use the sounding of the conch shell horn. The conch helps us vibrate
at the same frequency as the dimensional doorways. We discovered
that if we leaned upon the door with our body and used the conch
shell horn behind us, we could feel our bodies melt into the stone
doorways. The only reason we did not enter the cities at that time
was because we did not get past our belief in the illusion that
there was a stone wall there. Watch out for the 3D density. It does
not exist in the 4D. Remember, everything is connected. Stone is no
more impenetrable than the air surrounding it. If you are in the
sacred sites of Palenque, or Tikal, use the sound of the Howler
Monkeys. Meditate and allow yourself to travel through their roar
into the sound of the solar winds behind their roar.

In Peru, Willaru Huayta uses sound of the Andean Pan Pipes. This
beautiful music has a dual purpose as it opens the angelic realms
along with our hearts. I watched Willaru weave magic as he played
his pan pipes to the sacred Apu's (mountain spirits). In Mexico,
Mayan Elder, Hunbatz Men uses the sound of a clay flute and the name
of the Sun "KIN".

Understanding the Cosmic Cycles...
Using sacred time cycles as in the Mayan calendar to understand the
inter-connectedness between the Earth, the stars and humanity is
vital. We need to have an understanding of the creative
manifestation force of the universe. It is imperative to know
ourselves deeply and how we connect with the cosmic whole. This is a
difficult step, especially if we usually shy away from seeing our
issues and challenges. We need to see all sides of ourselves,
positive and negative, our gifts and challenges, personalities and
perspectives. Once we plug into the cosmic universal force with deep
understanding of our body, mind and spirit, we can access the map to
interdimensional travel.

When we use the Mayan calendar we begin to understand 90 degree
turns that make time/interdimensional travel possible. The G pattern
is a symbol of our spiraling galaxy and is an important factor in
dimensional travel. The G pattern exists in Mayan art work and many
G-shaped rooms can be found in sacred temples. In the creative force
of 13, we make three 90 degree turns to shift to the next dimension.
In the first turn we enter an energy vortex. In the second turn we
lose sight of this reality and this step is executed in a void space
with trust and an open heart. The third turn is our exit point into
the next dimension or crystal city.

Opening Your Inner Temple...
This key was received from Willaru Huayta while on the Island of the
Moon in Lake Titicaca. He teaches us to discover and open the sacred
temple inside us. When we open our inner temple we can access the
crystal/golden cities. (For more information on opening your inner
temple, see "Becoming Inca Meditation" in Sedona Journal of
Emergence, November 1996 issue)

Giving Yourself Away...
In Peru, I found myself continually giving my heart and my whole
being away to the sacred mountains and the dimensional doorways. I
let go of attachment to myself and affirmed that I no longer owned
myself, but was a servant of the Creator. In the spirit of the
moment and the grandeur of the Andes, I found myself giving my heart
away over and over again. What I was doing was actually entering the
doorways and crystal cities etherically by giving myself to them.

As You Pass Through into the 4th Dimension...
There may be some unusual experiences when you begin pass though the
doors with your physical body. With the first turn in the G pattern
we will notice that this world passes away, even our memory of it.
We will need to set an intention and create a return doorway back to
this reality. According to Willaru, we may also experience intense
color or meet the guardians of planet Earth. Willaru warns there are
positive cities and negative ones. Be clear and place your attention
on the positive so as not to enter a negative city.

The Knowledge...
As you enter the crystal cites you will be instructed with sacred
truths from, who Willaru calls, a Great Inca or the Great White
Brotherhood. The knowledge and wisdom you bring back with you to the
3D reality are a deep and sacred responsibility. Be conscious of how

There have been burglaries in my neighborhood recently, the most
recent one right next door to me two weeks ago.  I have a 3 month old
baby who is going to be an amazing lightworker (she already is).  How
do I protect her, my husband, dog, and myself and my home from
invasion?

Any ideas?  I've been calling in the angels for help...

Something different from an old Witches-Pagan almanac

Mistletoe for weather protection

Gather fresh mistletoe and pluck cleanly with a blade while under
water.
Bundle and tie into a ball with natural twine never allowing it to
touch the ground.  Hang this near your door and hearth.
Replace once a year at winter end.

How to understand bird omens

Look to the sky birds of flight to the East is favorable and good,
flight to the West is unpropitious.

Beware if a bird flies back and forth low to the ground.  How ever
horizontal flight indicates a purpose to be revealed.  Some
traditions believe that a person's soul transfers into a bird or
passes into a bird at death.

If your chickens have no appetite then something is wrong.  If they
are very hungry then good future was to come.

Doves mean peace and good news.

When you spot the first robin of the season make a wish.  If the
robin stays you will have beneficial and good luck for that year.
If the robin flies away no luck will follow for 12 months.  Your
life will be as it is.

A wand made from freshly cut Holly repels evil
Cut a wand clean and fine and place over each door way into your
house to protect from evil.

If you open your windows place a wand over each window as well.  Cut
11"inches long no longer or shorter.

For within these words are the facts that will be knowledge for some
and nothing for others who can not hear.  On deafened ears, beyond
one's perception nothing more can be found.

Michel on Excellence

Excellence is the knowing that you have done the best you can do.
When you try to align yourself with your intent or desire you can be
true to yourself and this is the first step to finding your own
sense of power of creativity. This, that is very much a part of your
reaffirmation processes, is inner anger and fear, and that comes
from your lack of personal expression.

Excellence is the ongoing process of determining what the personal
expression of your life is and will be. What is it that you need to
do to define who you are in a context that will complete you?

There is much that you need to look inward to understand and you can
not complete this process until you have taken that step. Being
honest with yourself, if not others, is a good place to begin. If
you are not honest with yourself then you will have further
complications to deal with, such as how those near you that know you
and work with you will feel once they think you have mislead them
and not been honest with them.

Truth is a funny thing, it is based on `personal – perspective' if
viewed from an autonomous point of view, but it is also something
that is universally determined – such as concepts of right and wrong.

Your personal expression of how you view yourself, how you define
yourself is what determines how you feel about yourself. What is
your true personal expression of who you are? Indeed… how would you
describe yourself?

The difficult process is looking inward and asking yourself to
answer yourself in a true and honest manner. Once light is placed
upon something there is the truth of finding one's self. Even-though
you look about your life and you have the trappings of self-
definition, which you use to define yourself, then if this is the
process you are using as the standard of excellence within your
life – who are you? More importantly what does this say about you?

Excellence is not something that is obtainable by seeking
affirmations outside yourself.

Excellence is obtained by reaching within and knowing yourself and
discovering your limitations, which are only as limited as you let
them be. You can determine your own limitations by asking yourself
if you are a positive thinker or a negative thinker. Do you set your
standard for excellence by how you compete with others over material
validations or do you seek your level of excellence by living to
your fullest potential?

These processes are the most difficult you will set about to define
and understand. But, if you remember that you create directly
through your thought process you can begin to expand your awareness
beyond that which you would normally do.

SOUL LIFE: Past Lives & Present Relationships
by John Van Auken

We are like rivers. On the surface we are all shiny and clear,
shimmering with freshness and life, but deep within us run powerful
unseen currents of soul-memories and desires. These deep currents
are the cumulative effects of ages of soul-life and many
incarnations in the
Earth. They cause us to love one person and despise another; to feel
wonderful vibrations with a particular individual in one aspect of
our
lives only to feel awkward and uncomfortable with that same person
in another aspect of our lives. Patterns and habits have formed deep
within
our inner-consciousness and shape the way we interact with people
around us.

Everyone involved in our present lives was very likely involved in
our past lives. Actually, it is likely they have been involved in
many of our past lives. Our parents, brothers and sisters, spouses,
children, friends, colleagues, bosses and employees, and even our
enemies began sharing life with us long before the present lifetime.

The effects of these many past-life experiences are reflected in the
circumstances that now surround our present relationships. The
soul's memories of past-life activities with others shape our innate
reactions to them. Of course, their memories of our past-life
actions nfluence
how they react to us. Through the same eyes that the personality
sees life, the soul sees it, but the soul looks with a memory
covering centuries of passion and adventure, caring and love, hatred
and revenge, doubt and fear. When we feel a seemingly unfounded
fondness for another person, it is very likely due to soul memory of
the positive role he or she played in our past lives. On the other
hand, when we react with what seems to be an unfounded revulsion or
hatred towards another person, you can be pretty sure it is because
the soul recalls their past actions against us or our loved ones.

However, the influences of past-life actions are rarely so clear
cut. Often those with whom we have had many good lives and
relationships are the same people with whom we have had many
problems and disagreements, a mix of "good" and "bad karma," so to
speak. In fact, it's rare that a past-life relationship has every
aspect of life in good, clear focus. Those positive, well-developed
aspects from our past lives will give us much pleasure and support
in the present. Conversely, those aspects which we did not have in
proper focus will give us opportunities for pain and growth in
present elationships. Avoiding these influences is simply not
possible. Whether we like it or not, the Universal Law of Karma
constantly brings before each of us the meeting of our past use of
free will and consciousness. Thus, what we have done to other souls
and they have done to us is reflected in the circumstances
surrounding our present relationships and the basic, innate urges,
attitudes and emotions we feel toward each other.

SOUL GROUPS

These basic ideas of past relationships and their present influences
are not only true of individual relationships but also of group
relationships. From the beginning our souls have tended to travel
together in groups, and the very act of traveling together for such
long periods creates forces of attraction that help to maintain and
build on these group relationships. Nearly all souls on the planet
today were together in past ages of human history. As a result, the
relationships among the peoples of the world today are a reflection
of their past activities with each other.

The souls who came in to this planetary system and entered the
realms of consciousness associated with this region of the cosmos
comprise our largest soul group. This group can then be divided into
the subgroups we call "the generations," containing souls who move
through the natural cycles of Earth life together, which can be
further divided into the various nations, cultures, races,
religions, etc., that have formed during ages of interaction
together. Within these groups are the subgroups of souls who share
similar philosophies, ideas, purposes,
aspirations and attitudes. From here the soul groups further divide
into the many smaller groups of personal relationships: communities,
families, businesses, teams, schools and so on.

Soul groups create an affinity among their members by not only the
cumulative experiences they share, but also through their collective
memory of how life has been for them and what they have come to
mutually desire out of it. In a manner of speaking, such groups form
a distinct collective consciousness and spirit, much like the souls
who gave us "the spirit of '76," reflecting that soul group's mutual
hopes, attitudes, purposes and memories.

Soul groups are neither rigid nor static. Any individual soul can
use its free will to seek an experience in another group. There are
many cases of souls changing political allegiance, race, or religion
from one lifetime to another. Neither do the generations incarnate
in strict, rigid patterns. A member of one generation may enter
again with another generation. For example, two members of a family
group who were father and son in one life may change positions and
become son and father in  another, or grandfather and grandson. They
may even choose to be in the same generation in an incarnation as
brothers, for example. However, they may choose not to be in the
same family again.

Although soul groups are fairly well established and have
significant pull on the individuals within them, they do not have
greater influence than an individual soul's will to change.

Generally, however, soul groups cycle in and out of the Earth
together and, therefore, at approximately the same time. (I am
speaking in eras and ages, not days or years.) This is particularly
evident in the past-life readings, as they are called, of Edgar
Cayce. Many of them
were for souls who fell into one of two major soul groups and
naturally followed their cycles of incarnation. Notice in the
following listing that the two groups mentioned were sometimes in
the Earth at the same periods, but in different locations, not
surprisingly. Edgar Cayce and
those who worked closely with him also traveled with one of these
two groups.

THE INCARNATIONS OF TWO MAJOR SOUL GROUPS FOUND IN THE EDGAR CAYCE
READINGS

Group l:

Early Atlantis

Early Ancient Egypt

Persia (during the time of Croseus I,II)

Palestine (during the time of Christ)

The Crusades

Colonial America

Group 2:

Late Atlantis

Late Ancient Egypt

Early Greece

Rome (during the time of Christ)

France (during the time of Louis XIV, XV, XVI)

The American Civil War

Of course, these are only the most significant incarnations for
these souls; they would most probably have incarnated many more
times than the list indicates. There were also other incarnation-
sequences given, but the majority of the readings were for souls who
typically cycled with one of these two major groups. We should also
take a look at some significant exceptions to this pattern. Some
souls did not always incarnate with their group, choosing instead to
skip a cycle or enter with another group, though they usually
rejoined their original group eventually. Others, though cycling
into the Earth-plane with their group, did not actually incarnate,
i.e., did not enter into a body; rather they stayed in the spirit
and helped from a higher vantage point while the others incarnated.
One example of this comes from an Edgar Cayce reading for a woman
who wanted to know why she hadn't been given an incarnation during
the Palestine era in which her present son and husband had
incarnated. She was told that she was there, but not in the flesh.
She was, as some of us would term it, "guardian angel" for her
present son while he lived and worked in that period.

A group of souls may find themselves together again and yet not one
of them desired it to be so. In these cases, it is often the forces
of the Universal Law that cause them to come together. For better or
for worse they now have to meet the effects of their past actions
with each other.  The Universal intention is that the confrontation
will lead to a resolution of their karma or at least a recognition
of how their past actions with each other have caused the present
predicament, and they will resolve not to act that way again.

Both in individual and group relationships, the karmic effects of
past actions with others can create some very difficult, even
terrible situations. The meeting can result in murder, rape, torture
and other atrocities. Even in lesser cases karmic effect can result
in back-biting, back-stabbing, bickering, fighting and other
turmoils. Imagine what might happen if the universal forces of cause
and effect brought together the souls of the Roman Coliseum and the
souls they fed to the lions, or the Conquistadors and the Incas and
Aztecs, or the Nazis and Jews.

The same cause-and-effect forces play a part in individual lives,
too. Imagine if the Law brought together a victim killed in a family
quarrel and his or her murderer. What about a soul who betrayed
another's trust or love? What would be the reaction toward one
another in this present
Life? When lives are heavily burdened by the negative effects of
their past actions, their present experience is often tragic, and
occasionally their lives may appear to be wasted senselessly.
However, from the soul's perspective a single incarnation is a
learning-experience and an opportunity to resolve past actions that
are now holding the soul back from a fuller life. One physical life
is not the ultimate living experience for the soul. It is an
opportunity to resolve the burdens past actions have placed upon our
souls and to clear away the many ideas
that continue to confuse and limit us. So even though the seventy or
eighty years that comprise the average lifetime seem so very
singular and final, it is only a temporary sojourn, a brief
experience along an infinite path of soul-life.

Of course, all the good that has been experienced among the various
souls and soul groups has just as strong an effect on present
situations as does evil, and when we focus on this "good karma" we
often find better ways to resolve the negative influences.

SOUL MATES

A "soul mate" is really nothing more than a soul or souls (and there
may be several of them) with whom we have closely shared so many
lifetimes that we now resonate to the same pitch, so to speak. We
understand each other like no one else could hope to understand us.
This acquired understanding gives soul mates the capacity to help
each other in ways that would be difficult without the deep bonding
that has occurred through the ages.

Soul mates often help each other reach their highest potential, and
though this is not automatic and each will still have to apply
themselves to making the present relationship the best it can be,
their deep inner-knowing of each other gives them a distinct
advantage. However, being soul mates doesn't automatically mean that
they see eye-to-eye on everything. In fact, they are usually more
like complements one to another than duplicates of each other, each
one bringing to the relationship something the other is missing,
thereby rounding-out the relationship and giving each of them more
than they
would have separately.

When soul mates are together, they form a dynamic bond and provide a
source of strength for one another that is very hard to find in our
world. They may presently be in either sex and interact with each
other in any number of relationships. There is a strong tendency to
think of
soul mates only in the sense of lovers and marriage mates, but they
can also be partners, parents, siblings, teammates, friends, etc.
Having been lovers and mates in many past lives, it would be very
hard for them to avoid at least a romantic interlude in the present
life - there would
simply be too much magnetism for them to easily ignore each other
and the physical attraction. If, on the other hand, they had been
close friends or family members throughout their incarnations, they
would be inclined toward a similar relationship in the present. The
point is, a
soul mate is not always a sexual mate.

Another important point about soul mates is that the true mate of
every soul is its Original Companion, the Creator, who gave each
soul life for the very purpose of being eternal companions with Him.
As far as the sexual dyynamics of soul mating, it's important to
keep in mind that in the heavenly home we (our souls) "neither marry
nor are given in marriage." As souls, we are actually siblings in
the Universal Family. Therefore, even though soul mates may give
each other the support that is needed and deserved in this difficult
world - which may include healthy, intimate, sexual companionship -
they are ultimately brothers and sisters in the spiritual realms.

TWIN SOULS

This brings us to one of the strangest concepts concerning soul
relationships, that of "Twin Souls." As we have already seen, a soul
possesses both the male and female forces within itself prior to
entering the duality of the Earth. As the soul enters the world it
usually selects one of its two sexual natures and projects the
unique
characteristics of this sex while incarnate. As difficult as it may
be to understand, the unmanifested sexual part of our soul can
actually incarnate at the same time we do. In other words, our soul,
which is much more complex than we have imagined, is capable of
separating its dual sexual nature into two separate and distinct
entities, one male and the other female, and each of these two
entities can incarnate into the Earth at the same time in separate
bodies that usually complement the present sex. That is to say that
somewhere out there in the physical world is literally our other
half - the other sexual aspect of our soul!

Fortunately, there are some examples of this in the Cayce readings.
One of the more notable is a group of four souls who, in their
present incarnation, were husband, wife, eldest son and a female
business associate who was also a very close friend of the family.
The husband
was told through Cayce readings that his present wife was his soul-
mate and that his life would never have reached its fullest
potential without her. However, it went on to say that the female
business associate and
close friend of the family was his "twin soul"; in other words, she
was the other sexual half of his complete soul. Furthermore, his
wife's twin soul was their eldest son! I realize how bizarre all of
this sounds, but the dynamics and dimensions of life are simply far
greater than we imagine.

Of course, not all examples are as closely knit as this example from
the Cayce readings. Generally, the twin soul relationship is
presently found among spouses, friends, occasionally as parent and
child, and sometimes the twin soul isn't even incarnate at the same
time. However, there does seem to be a pattern that most twin soul
relationships follow. In their early incarnations together they tend
to be mates or at least seek a lover's relationship with each other,
while in later incarnations with each other they tend to seek less
sexually involved relationships and more work-related activities
together, especially when the work has a soul purpose. This could be
due to the involution/evolution process where, in the early periods
of the descent into materiality they tended
to continue their self-seeking, self-satisfying pursuits; but on the
ascent toward a return to spirituality they tended to seek more
holistic purposes and relationships. That is not to say that all
present sexual relationships are self-seeking. From the Cayce
material we find healthy
support for marriage and home, and all the natural sexual aspects
that are a part of the union of two in love and mutual caring.

PARENTS & CHILDREN

As difficult as it may be for us to believe, each soul actually
chooses its parents - with one exception. If a soul has abused its
gift of free will, then it comes under the strong influence of the
Universal Law and is carried along on the force of its past actions
into present relationships that it simply must face up to. Of
course, no soul is given more than it can handle, not that it won't
suffer, but it won't be totally lost or destroyed by the burdens of
its karma. Generally, however, a soul chooses its parents prior to
entering the Earth.

As we would expect, souls who have had experiences together in past
lives will have a stronger attraction for each other than souls who
have had no past experiences together. Even if souls aren't
particularly fond of each other they still tend to be drawn together
by the force of their past interaction. Furthermore, if the soul has
a specific purpose for incarnating, and most of us do, then it will
be seeking others who are a part of fulfilling its purpose or those
who can at least contribute to it. Again, this doesn't mean that the
childhood family life will be all
hugs and kisses. In every relationship one can find advantages and
disadvantages, and in order to enjoy the advantages one must accept
the disadvantages. In fact, in many cases, the disadvantages lead to
or create the opportunities for the advantages. When a soul is
trying to
decide which channels (parents) would be best for it to enter this
world, it has to accept the limitations of this particular family as
well as the opportunities.

From the spiritual realm Earth-life appears much like a river when
viewed from high above, a bird's eye view. The soul who is deciding
which channels to enter through sees the river in all its vastness,
with many tributaries and branches, and it sees where the parents'
boat is on
this river of life. In this way it has an overview of what life will
be like with these parents. However, because the river of life has
many side-routes, the incoming soul can only see the strongest
current in the parents' lives. It can't be sure that one of the free-
willed parents won't change its mind and begin pursuing a different
course, or that the
currents themselves won't change course and thereby change the
family's future. It can't even be certain that it won't change its
own mind once it gets into the boat.

Destiny and fate do exist, and they exist side by side with free
will. The effects of our past actions have an inertia that carries
over into the present life and shapes it, thereby creating our
destiny. However, nothing surpasses the power of the soul's divinely-
given free will. At any time we can use our will to change
directions, change attitudes, change purposes, change anything! In
this way, our lives are both fatalistically foreshadowed by the
cause-and-effect forces of our past use of free will, and yet
amenable to change by our present use of free
will. Therefore, the incoming soul can see only the general course
of the family's riverboat; it can't be sure the family will stay the
course.

The incarnate parents also have significant influence as to which
soul enters through them. Their daily thoughts, desires and purposes
create a beacon for souls who respond to these energies. This is
particularly true of the mother. Her daily activities and inner
thoughts during the
gestation period create a field much like a magnet would, attracting
souls to the field of opportunity life as her child would offer. As
you would expect, more than one soul may be attracted to the same
mother-to-be. In such cases, the forces of cause and effect, the
will power and desire of the mother and the souls wanting to
incarnate combine to make the selection. The souls who were not
chosen for the present entry may well come in through a later
pregnancy if the opportunity is presented. Thereby becoming siblings
of the souls who entered first; or they may go on to other families
with whom friendships or other blood relationships would naturally
form and be maintained with the original channel family.

The soul generally enters the baby body at or near the time of
birth. In one unusual case in the Cayce readings, the soul did not
enter for two days after the birth of the baby. When asked about the
delay, Cayce responded that the soul was all too aware how very
difficult life would
be should it choose to enter, and it wasn't at all sure it wanted to
go through with it! Cayce was then asked what kept the baby's body
alive for two days while the soul wrestled with its decision, and he
responded, "the spirit." For Cayce, the soul was the entity, with
all its personal memories and aspirations, and the spirit was the
life
force.

According to the metaphysical work of Rudolf Steiner, the soul
actually incarnates in four stages. 1) A first level of
consciousness enters at or near the time of birth. 2) A second and
greater level of consciousness enters around the time the child cuts
it first teeth. 3) A third level enters during puberty. And, 4) The
final and complete entry
of the soul occurs close to the age of twenty-one.

Most sources agree that the first couple of years of life are
primarily devoted to developing the physical body and that the years
from two to seven shape much of the child's sense of self and its
view of the world. In addition to the well-known physical and
emotional changes that occur
during the course of puberty, Cayce and other metaphysical sources
add that this is the time when karmic influences begin to take hold,
coinciding with the release of hormones. This perspective sheds so
much light on the otherwise baffling or incomprehensible changes in
personality and behavior that sometimes accompany this stage of
physical development. Around the age of 21 the individual begins to
assume its major course through life. Then, life progresses through
a series of experiences and decision crossroads. These occur in
natural and identifiable cycles, the most influential being the
Seven Year Cycle: 1-7, 8-14, 15-21, 22-28, and so on. Notice how
these cycles coincide
with the general metaphysical cycles of: Birth; seven years of age;
puberty (though puberty usually occurs before age 14, it is
fulfilled at or near this age); and twenty-one years of age.

Furthermore, each soul experiences life in two primary arenas 1) The
inner world of self, which includes one's mental and emotional being
and physical body. 2) The outer arena of life's unique
circumstances, including the social, economic, racial, national and
religious environment, all of which are generally set at birth and
the outer world has pre-structured in specific ways.

I am in service to the Father and Christ as the Chosen One to bring
forth the Truth to light. Together with my sisters of the Light of Life
Ministry we have a very important message to deliver to all of mankind.

The hourglass is nearly empty. The culmination of End Times is upon us
and the Great Tribulation is just around the corner.  There are a total
of TWO things that you need in order to obtain Eternal Life and Man-Made
Religion is not one of them. (1) A Good Heart Condition. (2) An
Acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior.

We urge those who wish to obtain Eternal Life in Christ's Kingdom to
read the following very important message:

We don't aim to twist arms or convince anyone of anything they
aren't ready or willing to believe as their hearts will ultimately
dictate what they perceive to be truth. However, it is also our
responsibility to warn those who do not accept this Truth, will face
Judgment at Armageddon. For this reason we pray that the eyes and hearts
of all who read our message are opened to the Truth whether that is now,
or in the near future when our words come to pass.

OUR MESSAGE OF TRUTH

The main theme of our Message of Truth is that those who wish to have
eternal life must declare Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior. This must
be done in order to be one with His coming Kingdom.

We realize that many will challenge our faith and the faith of others
who also declare Jesus to be Lord. They will say that we must meet
certain requirements of water baptism, a belief in the Trinity and other
man-made religious ideals. If those people are of some positive energy,
they will see the Light. If not, they will remain opposed to what is
ministered to them. That is their Free Will choice. Even if they claim
to be foot-step followers of Christ, they will be deemed not worthy of
Salvation unless they exhibit the Holy Spirit from within them. If they
believe falsehoods about Christ, cling to their man-made religious
belief systems and exhibit no signs of positive energy, they will be
marked accordingly by the Cherubic Order of Angels. All people are
judged by what is really in their hearts.

As part of our Ministry to those that oppose the Truth, we point out
that a humble heart is the only thing that saves anyone. Without it, you
are endowed with negative energy. What your heart is filled with is what
springs forth with abundance from the mouth. Luke 6:45 is clear on this
point:

A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil
man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from
the overflow of the heart.

Proverbs 4:23 is clear on the need to safeguard your heart against the
wickedness of negative energy being stored there:

Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

By knowing and understanding the Truth of the Word, you treasure up
within your hearts that of positive energy. That's what guides you (the
Holy Spirit - Positive energy) so that you do not sin knowingly against
Christ or his Father.

I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against
You. Psalms 119:11.

The problem with sin is that it cultivates negative energy. From the
mind where it begins or originates, it creeps down into your heart. Then
you're in trouble. That's why it's not a sin to think a bad thought, if
you dismiss it. You did not act on it. Therefore, it is not a sin. But
if you dwell on the wrong thought, it will creep on down into your heart
and become a part of you. So, above all else, safeguard your hearts.

WHAT ABOUT WATER BAPTISM?

It is not necessary to be baptized in water to be saved. Jesus Christ
was the forerunner. In Christ's Ministry, baptism in water was used to
anoint him by his Father. It was continued by his disciples, because he
had not yet ascended to Heaven, and had not yet received the Kingdom
Authority that would later be bestowed upon him by his Father Yahweh.
Once that had been fully accomplished, the Light of Truth became the
baptism via the Light of Christ. The Savior's instructions given at
Matthew 28:19-20, you see the baptism it speaks of is a baptism of Holy
Spirit.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you
always, to the end of the age.

This takes place when one truly comes to understand the Father of Jesus
Christ and accept Him as Truth. Water is no longer necessary to be
sanctified. The purpose of baptism before Christ was to symbolize the
shedding of one's former ways of sinful conduct. That was
sanctification. Now, the baptism of sanctification is done as mentioned
above. The Holy Ghost transformation is performed through the Light of
Christ.

WILL YOU BE DAMNED IF NOT BAPTISED IN WATER?

Children pass over without water baptism. Some die at birth or are
aborted. The children have special status with the Creator. They are not
damned and neither are adults that are not water baptized. What would
happen if you were shipwrecked for the remainder of you life? How could
God justify not giving you a chance to learn His Sovereign Will at
transition? The only requirement for Christ's salvation is that of a
humble heart. Once you are with Christ, he knows your humble heart will
accept him. When you passed through his Light, you were then baptized as
a Holy Ghost. The water baptism would be nil in Christ's eyes. It is the
HEART that Saves. Nothing else can get you into the Kingdom unless your
heart is of Positive energy. Yahweh Himself reveals this at Jeremiah
17:10.

I, the LORD, examine the mind, I test the heart to give to each
according to his way, according to what his actions deserve.

If the heart were not the thing of importance, He would not search it.
It is not the outward appearance that Saves, but what is hidden deep
within the heart.

ALL POSITIVE ENERGY PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTABLE

People of all nationalities, regardless of race, color or religion are
open to the Salvation of Christ.

Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal gospel
to announce to the inhabitants of the earth to every nation, tribe,
language, and people. Revelation 14:6.

Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who inhabit the world, both low
and high, rich and poor together. Psalms 49:1-2.

Then Peter began to speak: In truth, I understand that God doesn't show
favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does
righteousness is acceptable to Him. Acts 10:34-35.

REMEMBER - IT'S A FREE WILL CHOICE

Everyone has Free Will Choice in the decision and are able to choose one
way or the other. That's why we will not try to force the Truth on to
anyone.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you
and your descendants may live, love the LORD your God, obey Him, and
remain faithful to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your
life in the land the LORD swore to give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:19-20

But if it doesn't please you to worship the LORD, choose for yourselves
today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers worshiped beyond
the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are
living. As for me and my family, we will worship the LORD. Joshua 24:15

If you carefully obey My commands I am giving you today, to love the
LORD your God and worship Him with all your heart and all your soul, I
will provide rain for your land in season, the early and late rains, and
you will harvest your grain, new wine, and oil. I will provide grass in
your fields for your livestock. You will eat and be satisfied. Be
careful that you are not enticed to turn aside, worship, and bow down to
other gods. Then the LORD's anger will burn against you. He will close
the sky, and there will be no rain; the land will not yield its produce,
and you will perish quickly from the good land the LORD is giving you.
Deuteronomy 11:13-17

This is how we are sure that we have come to know Him: by keeping His
commands. 1 John 2:3

SALVATION - KINGDOM MESSAGE COMPLETED

Now, either you will accept or reject the Truth we have ministered to
you. Since everyone should come to understand that actions result in
consequences, we deliver the following warning. If you decide to refuse
the truth, then you will know what is ahead--even if you reject that
also, at this time. Later on, you will see our words come to life. If
you accept the Truth now but are later tempted to cultivate a negative
energy within your heart, then the warning we share might help to
prevent that from happening.

YAHWEH'S BITTER-SWEET WARNING TO ALL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH

He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life. He that
disobeys the Son will not see life. The Wrath of God remains upon him.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who
refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of
God remains on him. John 3:36

Once you have been given the Message of Truth, if you do not obey it you
are exercising your Free Will choice. However, it will result in eternal
death at the Judgment. Just as Satan and his angels cannot have free
reign in creation - neither will it be permitted of those that exercise
that choice. Your fate is upon your own head.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone's
blood, for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan of
God. Acts 20:26-27

The above scripture reveals we will be clean from the blood of those who
make the wrong choice. If you are so cultivated with negative energy
that you hear and know that what we speak is Truth and you continue to
sin willfully by rejecting that Truth, then you will lose the
Sacrificial Hope of Salvation. Time will eventually run out. Armageddon
is the final Judgment Chapter.

For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth,
there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins Hebrews 10:26

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of our God's
vengeance... Isaiah 61:2

The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a
case against the nations. He enters into judgment with all flesh. As for
the wicked, He hands them over to the sword [This is] the LORD's
declaration. Jeremiah 25:31

I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to account for
every careless word they speak. Matthew 12:36

When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you
do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die
for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood." Ezekiel
33:8

SANCTIFICATON OF THE CREATOR'S NAME

This GOOD NEWS of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited
earth and bear witness to all the nations. The nations will be made to
know Yahweh. His Name must be sanctified before the nations.

I will honor the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned
among the nations the name you have profaned among them. The nations
will know that I am Yahweh "the declaration of the Lord GOD "when I
demonstrate My holiness through you in their sight. Ezekiel 36:23

So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no
longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the
LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Ezekiel 39:7

ARE THERE ANY FREE RIDES TO ETERNAL BLISS?

Anyone that believes they can get a free ride through eternity without
going through Christ, please read:

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to people by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Once you have received the Truth, you are under obligation by the
Creator.

Wisdom is supreme so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get
understanding. Proverbs 4:7

Your Sisters in Christ,
The Ministers of the Light of Life Ministry

Generate Your Own Patterns - Becoming Your Parents


Heredity plays a role in almost all human development, whether
physical, mental, or emotional. We tend to look like our parents and
are subject to the same sensitivities they have. We may even be
predisposed to certain behaviors or preferences. As we grow older,
we become increasingly aware of the traits that exist within us and
the clear history of the traits of our mothers and fathers. Our
response to this epiphany depends upon whether the inclinations,
tendencies, and penchants we inherited from our forebears are
acceptable in our eyes. We may honor some of these shared traits
while rejecting others. However, there is no law of nature, no
ethereal connection between parents and children, that states that
the latter must follow in the footsteps of the former. We are each
of us free to become whoever we wish to be.

When we accept that our parents are human beings in possession of
both human graces and human failings, we begin to regard them as
distinct individuals. And by granting mothers and fathers personhood
in our minds, we come to realize that we, too, are autonomous people
and in no way destined to become our relations. While we may have
involuntarily integrated some of our parents' mannerisms or habits
into our own lives, conscious self-examination will provide us with
a means to identify these and work past them if we so desire. We can
then unreservedly honor and emulate those aspects of our mothers and
fathers that we admire without becoming carbon copies of them.

Though many of the tempers and temperaments that define you are
inherited, you control how they manifest in your life. The patterns
you have witnessed unfolding in the lives of your parents need not
be a part of your unique destiny. You can learn from the decisions
they made and choose not to indulge in the same vices. Their habits
need not become yours. But even as you forge your own path, consider
that your parents' influence will continue to shape your life-
whether or not you follow in their footsteps. Throughout your entire
existence, they have endeavored to provide you with the benefit of
their experiences. How you make use of this profound gift is up to
you.

"Think only about what is holy. Empty your mind."
--Archie Fire Lame Deer, LAKOTA


If we let our minds wander, we will come up with a lot of junk: maybe
bad thoughts about a brother or sister, maybe angry thoughts, maybe
self-pity thoughts. Our minds are not the boss. We can instruct our
mind to think about whatever we want to think about. We cannot stop
thinking, be we can choose what to think about. The Elders say we move
towards what we think about. That's why they say, "Think about what is
holy, think about the Grandfathers, think about culture, think about
values, think about ceremonies, and think about good."

Great Spirit, today, empty my mind and let me experience what it would
be like to think about what is holy.

Sign by Sign Analysis for May 2007
by Carl Boudreau


General Comments ~ In May, numerous obstacles will arise. Many of
them will be pretty much insurmountable or they will call for long-
term, in depth problem solving. As May proceeds, new doorways will
open, bringing assistance and opportunities that allow progress
along a new, different path than the one we may have been following.
However, the obstacles themselves will not go away as the result of
these new opportunities. They will remain to be solved and will
emerge in many different forms in coming months, requiring continued
attention.



Aries ~ Events at home are driving changes in many other areas. The
behavior of a youngster or burdens affecting your creative and
romantic life, maybe all of the above, are weighing heavily. The
situation is complicated, the issues are real and in many ways, you
are alone in uncharted territory. Even so, the situation can be
handled more safely and comfortably than you probably think. Life-
lessons you have recently learned will help you. Be true to your
principles. Keep your emotions in check. Some issues will only be
resolved in time.

Taurus ~ It's a good time to tread water, comfortably and securely.
The planets are empowering you and protecting you from negative
effects. It's tempting and rather easy to overextend now. Rather,
use this time to consolidate and lay a foundation for the future.
Family and home-related issues are burdening you heavily enough to
make a difference in your decisions. However, prospects for a
positive resolution of these issues are very good. The outcome will
benefit you financially or at least not cost you as much as you
might have feared.

Gemini ~ Your situation looks sticky but things aren't as bad as
they appear. Most of those you depend on or from whom you take
orders had to go back to the drawing board. They have options, just
not as many as everyone would wish and things have to be refigured
and rerouted. Hence the holdups. You have room to maneuver and,
despite the static and the obstacles, your efforts will soon bear
fruit. Stalled financial and legal issues are moving ahead. Power
freaks with whom who must deal have been hobbled.

Cancer ~ Despite some challenges, and lots of static, prospects for
a positive resolution of financial and work-related issues are quite
good. But be aware that some important and complex issues will stay
unresolved. Powerful people are at odds with each other and unsure
how to address some issues that will eventually affect you. It could
be months before final answers are forthcoming. You are also a
little closer to the center of controversy than is comfortable.
Still, the basic tone of the debate is reasonable and benevolent.
Remain confident.

Leo ~ The best aspects for Leo this month affect matters close to
home: family, neighborhood, children, friends, and work. The
prospects for affairs farther from home and projects that require
the cooperation of the community or large networks of people are
under more doubtful planetary influences. Still, May promises
remarkable achievements. Much will depend on your ability to
maintain self-confidence. Substantial and lasting progress is
ensured. Some benefits might be delayed. Also, tricky issues will
need to be resolved down the road. Keep an eye on long-term
financial affairs.

Virgo ~ There are obstacles to progress in projects that need
community approval or broad cooperation. But this is a good month
for personal renewal. The planets are pushing you to step back, to
see the larger picture. You have taken things about as far as
possible without a wide-ranging reappraisal of your place and
direction in life. May offers you a chance for such a reappraisal
and the opportunity to bring home and family life into harmony with
this new vision of yourself. A big step toward a fresh start.

Libra ~ Gentle, loving, reasonable Venus, your ruling planet, is
involved and somewhat at odds with powerful people, including your
superiors at work. This situation will cause tensions and pressures
on-the-job. Venus is now part of a larger planetary arrangement that
is complicating professional and work relations generally. The
issues are largely ethical. They are numerous, subtle and not easily
resolved. However, significant improvements in relations with peers
and friends in the community will help you work around the impasse
at higher levels. Your contributions in these matters are important.

Scorpio ~ It's true that the challenges keep coming. You can't
manage to get on top of them all. And ultimately you will need to
get on top of them. One key difficulty is that your own personal
resources don't stretch quite as far as you need them to stretch.
However, the charts suggest that you can depend on community
resources. Authorities at home and at work can also be counted on to
help make things easier for you. You should soon find a welcome
increase in your supply of ready cash.

Sagittarius ~ You are likely to receive significant benefits from
distant places in May. Despite your considerable influence over a
complex local situation, genuine progress is elusive on the
community, neighborhood and family scenes. Long-term financial well-
being is the issue beneath the other issues. Presently, the health
of your long-term finances depends heavily on your job. You are
slowly losing the power and the inclination to cover for people who
are bending the rules. You or someone else might have to pay a price
soon for cutting ethical corners at work.

Capricorn ~ Decisive action isn't really possible right now. Temper,
immaturity, impatience, power plays, red tape, and delays of many
other kinds are blocking progress, each in their own way. Positive
developments will come from more subtle sources. An improvement in
long-term financial conditions will come along with a psychological
boost, lightening the mood at home and improving family relations.
This might not help remove those roadblocks in the outside world.
However, the beneficial effects on your peace of mind and the
quality of home life will be make a welcome difference.

Aquarius ~ Burdens imposed by health limitations or emotional
difficulties are weighing especially heavily. And between
circumstances in the community and conditions in your own life you
are kind of being forced to choose from a helpful but decidedly
limited range of options. However, a partner or close associate will
be able to work some magic for you, blending your desires and
preferences with available resources to create a decidedly more
tolerable situation for all concerned. Underlying influences are
protective and supportive. Unilaterally imposing your own will on
the situation won't work.

Pisces ~ The planets are ensuring that your desire for change will
take you in good directions. They are also helping you avoid
pitfalls. However, there are limits on what kind of change you can
seek. The authorities at home and at work are taking a fairly hard
line. They only seem to want to hear about the most mature and
thoughtful expressions of personal freedom. The good news is that
everyone working together is about to come up with a plan that
improves your work situation and your cash flow considerably.

Chapter 34

A Closing Message To The People Of Earth
--
From An Agent Of The Federation
I've thought about an eloquent way to end this volume with a flourish
of cosmic wisdom that would bring the entire contents of this work
into perspective and balance, an ending that would be worthy of all of
those brave truth-seekers who have so generously contributed to this
project.

Having failed to do this, I will gladly give this opportunity to one
who should know, more than anyone else, just exactly what we as a
planet are going through in our struggle for freedom from
interventionist oppression.

The following appeared in Val Valerian's MATRIX II work, and although
I've made some interjections throughout, I would ask that you pay
special attention to the words of a certain 'Nordic', born among the
stars, who can fully sympathize with our plight here on earth.

But first, some words of introduction from Val Valerian:

THE GRAYS, THE NORDICS, AND INTERSTELLAR CONFLICT:

The first type [of Gray] is the short gray humanoids with the large
heads, which resemble embryos and average about four and a half feet
in height. They are from a solar system that revolves around Rigel.
Rigel is a double bluish-white star on the left foot of Orion...

It is this type of humanoid that is performing most of the animal
mutilations and human mutilations, which has made a secret deal with
our government, and which was in contact with Hitler [Nazis]. They
derive nourishment from the glandular secretions and the enzymes they
extract from the animals they mutilate, which they absorb through
their pores. Our 'government' permits such activities partially
because of its acute fear of these beings, and partially because it is
under the delusion that they will give us technical information
enabling us to attain military superiority over the Russians in
exchange for our permitting the mutilations and abductions.

The Stealth Bomber and Star Wars technologies are being obtained from
them. However, our government does not appear to realize that when it
comes to the crunch the technology they are transmitting will not work
as it is supposed to (Note: More advanced technologies have been
obtained via crash-retrievals, an aspect that the aliens may have
underestimated. - Branton). It is not in their interest to give us
decisive military superiority over the Russians, or vice versa. It is
in their interest to keep us in a state of unresolved conflict with
each other, the old game of divide and conquer...

Working under the instructions of the humanoids from Rigel, CIA and
former NAZI scientists have developed and deployed malignant strains
of bacteria and viruses, including AIDS. The rationale from the
fascist point of view is to exterminate portions of the population
considered to be undesirable. The rationale from the Rigelian point of
view is to decimate the human population to such an extent that the
survivors would accept [not resist] open control by the Rigelians...

The humanoids that have been nick-named 'Swedes' are on the average
between six and six and a half feet tall. They [some] are from a solar
system that revolves around Procyon, a binary yellow-white and yellow
star system that rises before Sirius in Canis Minoris [in the body of
the Lesser Dog], about 11.4 light years from Earth. They are from the
fourth planet in orbit around the Procyon double star system. The tall
blond humanoids from Procyon and the short gray humanoids from Rigel
have been enemies for thousands of years.

The tall Blonds from Procyon have a benign attitude toward humanity,
except for their strong disapproval of our inhumanity to each other.
This strong disapproval is further intensified by our government
having made a secret alliance with their hereditary enemies, in order
to obtain even more destructive weapons systems than those already in
existence. Our 'government' is not interested in negotiating with the
Procyonians, as they would not provide us with weapon systems...

Their motivation for breeding with humans is to tune-up the frequency
of our species, in order to help us to help ourselves. Their concern
is for the well-being of all forms of life, not just humanity. The
entire biosphere will benefit if we fulfill our positive potential,
instead of self-destructing our planet's biosphere in the process.

It would be a mistake to count on them to clean up the mess we have
made of our polluted planet, or to bring peace by dismantling our
nuclear weapons. It is up to us to solve the problems that we have
ourselves created...

In order to extricate ourselves from the covert alliance the CIA (and
their Nazi SS predecessors. - Branton) had made with Rigel, without
our knowledge or consent, we must first regain control of our
government...

Valerian then quotes the following words of one Procyonese
star-traveler by the name of KHYLA, who revealed the following to an
un-named earth woman with whom he had established contact:

"...Tyrants have been defeated many times on many planets, in
countless solar systems and galaxies. How strange it is that as soon
as one tyrant of any species is thought to be banished forever another
always, but ALWAYS, takes his place. The idealistic revolutionaries
who defeated King George III in America went on to oppress the Indians
and Blacks. Many of those who fought most courageously against the
Axis powers of fascism later became fascists themselves, as is
demonstrated by the present plight of the Palestinians, Afghans,
Chileans and Nicaraguans. Yes, you must try to regain control of your
government, but if so much as one individual involved in this process
has not first gained control of his or her selfhood, it will be for
naught. One can never defeat or gain control of anything but oneself.
Those destined to ouste the Rigelians must always keep track of the
state of their selfhood, and learn first to defeat within themselves
the essence of that which is tyranny. Through this type of awareness,
they will know when to and when not to act. Through understanding a
hostile entity to be but one of the ineffable's countless facades, it
loses its power over you. Through the ability to wisely perceive a
hostile entity, you may gain control of it. In overcoming the
Rigelians, one must take great precautions not to become oneself the
enemy."

Or, as the old Chinese proverb says:

"BEWARE WHEN FIGHTING A DRAGON THAT YOU DO NOT BECOME ONE!"

Khyla, the Procyonese Intelligence agent, continues:

"If you were a highly advanced culture about to invade a relatively
primitive culture, you would not do it with a flourish of ships
showing up in the heavens, and take the risk of being fired upon.
That's the type of warfare less evolved mortals would get into. You
would begin by creating intense confusion, with only inferences of
your presence, inferences which cause controversial disagreement
(Note: It is interesting that the major Intelligence projects designed
to discredit UFO witnesses and cause confusion and contention among --
and infiltration of -- various UFO research organizations have been
traced back to the Nazified NSA-CIA, which in turn maintains, as this
is being written, continued ties with the Grays. - Branton).

"You would go to the most secret and powerful organizations within the
society. In the case of the United States, you would infiltrate the
CIA, and through the use of techniques unknown to them, you would take
over some of the key people in their innermost core group. You would
proceed in the same fashion to take over key members of the KGB. You
would also create great dissension among the public at large, some
individuals and groups insisting that they have seen UFOs, others
insisting with equal vehemence that such a thing is not possible, and
that they are either liars or deluded.

"You would involve the planet's two major nations in an on-going
idiotic philosophical dispute, keeping them constantly at each other's
throats over such questions as whether Thomas Jefferson was greater
than Karl Marx or vice-versa (that is, whether 'Capitalist' tyranny or
'Communist' tyranny is worse than the other. By the way, don't confuse
Communism with Communalism, and don't confuse Capitalism with
Democracy. Communalism and Democracy are sovereigntist movements that
respect the personal rights and freedoms of others. So-called
unrestrained Communism and Capitalism are co-dependent collectist
evils. Capitalist tyranny created Communist tyranny, and Communist
tyranny justifies its existence as a force to fight Capitalist
tyranny. Insane world we live in, is it not? - Branton). You would
keep them continuously occupied with quarreling like two adolescent
boys trying to prove their masculinity over who has which piece of
territory, whether one has the right to invade Afghanistan or the
other has the right to invade Nicaragua, persistently exchanging
threats and insults like a couple of macho teen-agers, while arguing
whether one should dismantle one type of nuclear warhead, or the other
should dismantle another type of nuclear warhead. As you watched all
this, you would sit back and you would laugh, if you had the capacity
to laugh...

"You would occasionally let your ships be seen by some of the ordinary
citizens, so that the elite governmental groups would become involved
in attempts to keep them quiet, clumsily squelching attempts to make
information about UFO activity public. This would result in the mass
population losing confidence in the veracity of their elected
officials. There would be constant arguments between the authorities
and the public as to whether or not the persistently reported
phenomena genuinely existed, thereby setting the population and the
government at each other's throats. You would have already set the two
major super-powers at each other's throats. By subtly causing economic
turmoil, you would set the "Haves" and the "Have Nots" at each other's
throats. In all possible ways, you would plant the seeds of massive
discontent.

"After you had manipulated the population to the point where your
covert control over it was complete, you might decide to go overt, and
let a few ships land in public. But you would not go from covert to
overt until you were sure of the totality of your control...

Those who have experienced UFO sightings or ET close encounters will
constantly be at odds with the government, which will continue to
retaliate by stigmatizing them as liars or deluded... The impoverished
will become even more impoverished, and more filled to overflowing
with explosively righteous anger. The wealthy will cling even more
greedily to the wealth that they already have, creating a social
atmosphere of sheer desperation and complete confusion. To add to
that, there will be series after series of 'natural' disasters, some
genuinely natural, some human-induced through aberrant scientific
activities such as underground nuclear testing, others deliberately
induced by the Grays through the (Scaler-type? - Branton) technology
they are in possession of. When approximately three-quarters of the
planet's population has been eliminated in this fashion, the Grays can
then make an overt appearance as saviors from the skies, distributing
food and medicine to the survivors. As the survivors line up to
recieve their guotas of food and medicine, implants will be inserted,
supposedly to aid in further food distribution, actually to guarantee
complete Gray control with no possibility of rebellion (Note:
Electronic chip implants have already been developed. These operate on
bodily temperature changes and it is interesting that the part of the
body which experiences the greatest ranges of temperature change are
the forehead and the hands, which is interesting when compared to the
prophecies in the 13th chapter of the book of Revelation. These chips
will not only serve to control individuals, but will also be able to
track their every movements by satellite. One individual who worked on
such a chip stated that the implant would decay after a certain period
of time, at which point a poisonous virus would be released into the
bloodstream of those who had recieved it, eventually killing the
person and effecting a type of automatic "population control" for the
electronically-controlled society. - Branton). From the point of view
of the Grays, terrestrial humanity will have been reduced to
manageable numbers and to eternal submission.

"Humanity is not about to be invaded. Humanity is not in the middle of
an invasion. Humanity has been invaded! The invasion has taken place,
and is NEARLY in its final stages. Great invasions do not happen with
thundering smoke and nuclear weaponry. That is the mark of an immature
society. Great invasions happen in secrecy.

"You throw a crumb out here and there. You bribe the U.S. government
with a few tidbits -- a Stealth bomber, a Star Wars system. You
encourage the government to think that the UFO researchers indeed
threaten the security of this great secret they have. You tempt and
tease the Soviet Union with a laser system far finer than any their
own scientists could think of. And you always keep that subtle
inference just on the borderline of consciousness that the elusive
will-of-the-wisps termed UFOs may in fact exist, yet you persistently
repress this borderline perception, and make it seem so insane that
there is a social stigma attached to declaring one's conviction that
the phenomena are in fact real.

"While all this confusion is going on, the Grays are gradually
changing you over. The inner core of the CIA is deeply controlled by
the Grays. The CIA see the Grays as a path to greater scientific
achievement, as a way of overpowering the Soviet enemy (Note: since
the overt breakup of the Soviet Union, the Grays may provoke a new
"Cold War" with another Superpower, possibly China? It has also been
suggested that the 'Bavarians' engineered the dissolution of the
Soviet Empire because at the time their agenda called for a merger of
the East and West into a Bavarian-backed New World Order. In other
words for this to occur Russia had to become less 'Communist' and
America had to become less 'Capitalist' so that they could both merge
somewhere within the realm of "Democratic Socialism", with more than a
little 'help' from the UNO or United Nations Organization. - Branton).
Surprisingly enough, the obtuse collective mentality type that makes
up the bulk of the CIA also makes up the bulk of the more fanatical
Star People, those who babble and mush and gush so endlessly. All
those who have to cleave to or be fused with some form of group
mentality (most notably, the 'Ashtar' collective, much of which
according to contactee Israel Norkin has been infiltrated and taken
over by the "Unholy Six" star systems of Orion - Branton) leave
themselves wide open. They have already been taken over. There is a
large and ever-growing cult of contactees who think of the Grays as
liberators, sincerely believing them to be heavenly Star Brothers who
have come to help humanity (Note: One common brand of 'intellectual
defecation' that the Grays have been spewing forth through their human
'channels' is that the Grays are really the "good guys", and that they
have been 'conquered' and exploited by the taller Reptiloids and
therefore are working with the secret government in an attempt to
throw off the yoke of their oppressors. Any one who is at all familiar
with 'Gray' mentality should know that they are WILLFULLY working WITH
the taller Reptiloids, and that they are reprobate LIARS who have no
conscience whatever when it comes to using multi-levelled deceptions
to get their way. Unfortunately many metaphysical-minded "gray
huggers" are accepting these lies and others like them. Other lies
that have originated from the Grays include: * We are the genetic
creations of the Grays, so we must submit to our 'creators'; * Jesus
Christ was a genetic creation of the Grays -- interesting, in that
Jesus blasted the serpent race in more than one instance; * The Grays
are a superior race -- they may be superior intellectually, however
they have no internal or eternal soul-matrix as do humans, and so from
a spiritual perspective they are inferior, in essence being little
more than 'predators with brains'. - Branton).

"The reason the awful little Grays mutilate animals is the stuff that
they eat. They eat pulverized hormonic secretions, what you would call
subtle essences. They live on the stuff of life. There is something
deathlike about their species. They always bring about the death of
animation, the death of individuality.

"How to I know? I am a Blond from Procyon. We were a culture that
could travel through time (that is, phase through various time-space
dimensions or densities where the 'flow' of time and 'frequency' space
are different from the time-space dimensions of the 3rd dimension. -
Branton), but also lived on a planetary sphere. And the little Grays,
our insidious little 'friends', did to us exactly what they are doing
now to you. This is what happened to our planet.

"Having come in war, but having been unable to obtain any decisive
victory, the Grays expressed the desire to make peace. We had not
wanted to fight with the 'survivors' of the Rigelian Great War to
begin with, and gladly accepted their offer. As time went by, they
said they wished to normalize relations and be our friends. We were in
doubt as to whether it would be safe to trust them, and debated the
issue for a long time before finally deciding that we should trust them...

"The Grays began to visit us, first a few as ambassadors, then as
specialists in various domains where their expertise could be useful
to us, as participants in different programs that developed which
involved mutual collaboration, and finally as 'tourists'. What had
begun as a trickle became a flood, as they came in ever-increasing
numbers, slowly but surely infiltrating our society at all levels,
penetrating even the most secret of our elite power groups...

"Just as on your planet they began by unobtrusively gaining control
over key members of the CIA and KGB through techniques unknown to
them, such as hypnosis... so on Procyon through the same techniques,
whose existence we were not aware of either, from the start they
established a kind of telepathic hypnotic control over our leaders.
Over our leaders and over almost all of us, because it was as if we
were under a spell that was leading us to our doom, as if we were
being programmed by a type of ritual black magic that we did not
realize existed.

"Just as a few of the original tall Blonds clandestinely left Rigel
when the Great War was about to break out, so did a few of the
original tall Blonds clandestinely leave Procyon and escaped into the
corridors of time just before the Grays completed the slow undermining
that culminated in their sudden take-over of Procyon. Those who stayed
behind came under the total domination of the Grays.

"The Blonds you see on the same ships as the Grays, working with them,
are hybrids, or they are clones. One way to distinguish the clones is
that they look alike. The real Blonds have distinct facial feature
differences, and do not look alike. The clones have thick necks and
coarsely muscular bodies. They do not have the ability to teleport or
to travel interdimensionally. They can be contacted by telepathy, but
are unable to send. They can be given orders telepathically. They are
zombie-like flesh robots. You can tell that they are of low
intelligence by looking into their eyes.

"The real Blonds are also muscular, but have slender necks and agile
bodies. Their eyes are alert and of high intelligence. Physically they
are almost identical to humans, the main difference being that by
human standards their blood circulatory system is under-developed,
while their lymphatic system is over-developed. This gives them
stronger immune systems than terrestrial humans.

"The hybrids are in an intermediate state between the real Blonds and
the clones.

"After what has happened to Procyon, NO TRUE BLOND would collaborate
voluntarily with the Grays. The Grays have taken some prisoners of
war, who have no choice in the matter, and are forced to work with
them in order to survive, with the hope of escaping. There are also a
few Blonds who have become degenerate renegades, space pirates and
mercenaries who sell their services to the highest bidder. But many of
us remain free, and continue the fight to the finish with the
life-form that has become our hereditary enemy. We choose to remain in
exile in the corridors of time, where they can not reach us, rather
than to live under the domination of the insidious Grays. It is
dangerous for us to venture forth from the corridors of time, but
occasionally we do so for a hit-and-run strike, similar in nature to a
cosmic version of terrestrial guerrilla warfare.

"We must periodically enter a substantial physical form for a period
of repose, or to breed progeny, in order to continue to survive, but
otherwise we constantly travel the vast corridors of time. That is why
we may appear to fade in and out like holographic images to human
perception. What I have come here to communicate, if only to one or
two people or a small group, is that what is now in the process of
happening to your culture, also happened to ours. It is the same fate
our own culture suffered. And the Blonds you see with the Grays are
either hybrids, clones, or prisoners of war. Because no true Blond who
got out untouched, unscathed, uncrossed with those Grays would ever be
with them. He or she would prefer to be in a state of non-existence.

"Besides the Blonds and the Grays, ships from many other space
cultures are watching planet Earth at this time with extreme interest.
Scientists from other space cultures are studying what is going on
here during this decisive period of your history. If your elected
representatives had not so stupidly made a deal with the only aliens
willing to provide them with weapons systems, with the short-sighted
goal of overpowering the Russians, the Grays would not have achieved
their present dominance, and you would now be exchanging ambassadors
with a wide variety of space cultures.

"What I want to get across to you is that the ultimate evil, which
underlies all the negativity in the cosmos, finds expression in that
masked form of psychological complacency which leads an individual to
adhere to a group philosophy rather than to think things through for
oneself! Those who feel safe and comfortable in no matter what belief
system merely because many others adhere to it, who get together and
form an arrogant self-righteous group convinced it has a monopoly on
the truth, and those who are ready to persecute, kill or stifle anyone
who challenges that group's philosophy, have formed an alliance with
the ultimate evil, whether they know it or not. It is the
self-righteousness and implacability of certain elite power groups
like the CIA and the KGB, certain organized religions, and certain
so-called lunatic fringe groups such as some of the more fanatical
Star People, which are so objectionable...

"I have seen civilizations rise and fall, begin again only to die
again, over and over and over. It isn't only a problem of this planet.
It's a problem that must be faced by all civilizations in the course
of their development, no matter where they may be located in the
cosmos. Everyone wants that slightly larger piece of the pie than
their neighbor for themselves, and eventually this tendency always
culminates in choking them. Sooner or later this will be the undoing
of the Grays as well, thereby enabling us to return in triumph from
our exile in the corridors of time. The Grays do not see and are
incapable of understanding their own fundamental error: that the very
weakness they seize upon in humanity is their own inherent weakness,
the blind spot that inevitably seals their doom...

"The only way to victory is through the strength of your
consciousness. When genetic or other manipulations are being performed
on abductees, the Grays expect them to cringe in fear, and derive a
second-hand high from the intensity of the emotions expressed. If
instead of cringing in fear, an abductee can put his or her mind
elsewhere, focusing attention on dynamic protective imagery of a
religious or mystical nature, it decreases the gratification that the
Grays are getting from their second-hand high, and it confuses them.
Center the consciousness on something so different from what they
expect that it puzzles them.

(Note: In most cases the image of an empty red or crimson CROSS seems
to be especially debilitating to the Grays. For instance the legendary
soldier-saint, St. George, reputedly wore a shield with a red cross
emblazoned on a white background. Whether one believes that the
dragonslayers existed or not, the legend itself claims that the
Christian dragon-slayers of Europe more-or-less marked the end of the
dragon race's infestation of the old world. One such legend concerned
the city of Silene, Libya which had been plagued by a draconian beast
for a long period of time. The king of the city had offered up sheep
and livestock in an effort to appease the beast. However the time came
when all the livestock had been used up, and this was when human
sacrifices were chosen, by lot, to appease the fearsome beast. One day
the lot fell on the king's own daughter, and the grieved king,
honoring his word, allowed her to be taken and tied to the post
outside of the city gates. As the beast was about to pounce upon the
princess, so the story goes, Saint George appeared in shining silver
armor and -- before the beast knew what was happening -- the
soldier-saint had pierced it through with his lance and rescued the
princess, who later became his wife. Whether or not such legends have
any basis in reality, the story nevertheless symbolizes the
unconscious animosity between 'Saints' and 'Serpents'. If we are to
believe the legends, then this was only one of the many 'vermin' -- as
they were referred to in those ancient times -- which St. George had
vanquished during his life, and although not the only dragon-slayer of
legend, he was perhaps the most renowned. - Branton)...

"The only reason the Grays have such a degree of dominance over you is
because your elected officials stupidly made clandestine agreements
with them, binding you to them in an exclusive alliance that is
respected by other space races, allowing them to install themselves in
underground bases impregnable to your weaponry, a situation you must
now find a way to extricate yourselves from (Note: In that the Grays
have repeatedly violated these treaties, they should legally be
considered null and void. In fact since the Executive branch of U.S.
government was taken over by a fascist CIA coup d'etat in 1963 at the
time of the John F. Kennedy assassination -- AS WERE the governments
of several other countries throughout the world where CIA backed
military coups resulted in the establishment of fascist puppet
dictatorships -- should we not consider the Executive branch of
government which made the 'treaties' with the Greys, to be null and
void as well? It certainly was not Congress who authorized such
'treaties'. - Branton)

"In antiquity this planet was divided into sectors between four
different groups: Blonds, Grays, large lizard-like beings [now
connected with] the Capella system, and beings [now connected with]
the Arcturus system. These groups still consider themselves to be the
owners of this planet. They do not recognize the human claim to
ownership. However, some of us do recognize human rights, as well as
the rights of other life-forms...

"The Grays are having problems not only within their own ranks, but
also on other planets they have colonized. As a species they are
afflicted with severe, perhaps terminal, health problems (a weakness
that can and should be exploited. - Branton). They have substantial
captive populations of Blond, human and other prisoners of war, eager
to join a revolt at the slightest opportunity...

"One must be rational in attempting to fight back, and understand the
proper way to proceed. Your own consciousness is the most potent
weapon that is available to you at the present time. The most
effective way to fight the Grays is to change the level of your
consciousness from linear thinking to multi-dimensional awareness.
Your secret weapon, your ace in the hole, is that you are not
hive-minded collective thinkers, though many of you do fall into that
category by conforming to conventional group-patterns, and are
therefore easily controlled by the Grays. It is your INDIVIDUALITY
which is your best weapon, because it is the one weapon you have that
the Grays do not have. The major weakness of the Grays, their area of
vulnerability, their Achilles heel, is their inability to think as
individuals. They are an extremely telepathic high-tech society, but
as individuals they are not creative thinkers. They take orders well,
but they do not conceptualize well. They have the technology to throw
your planet out of orbit, but there is one key ability that you have
and they do not have: the ability to hold in mind imagery that
inspires an individual to realize his or her direct personal
connection to the source of ALL THAT IS, which is the ineffable
Godhead, no matter what name you may call it. That is your key to
victory..."

AND FINALLY, A MESSAGE FROM THE HYBRID COUNCIL -- THE 'REAL'
INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS VOLUME:

It would be a grave error to give myself full credit for this volume,
as I can state for absolute fact that most of the work on this volume
was carried out by 'others' who -- operating through my unconscious
mind -- inspired me intuitively with the information, and led me to
the sources and documentation, which were necessary for the completion
of this book, which I consider a major challenge especially in spite
of my own personal shortcomings.

This "backup team", you might say, consists of a number of so-called
'hybrids' or 'hu-brids' who have broken free from the draconian
collective and established their own resistance movement based mainly
within the underground systems of this planet -- at least in the case
of those 'family members' or 'relatives' of mine 'beyond' this world
who have inspired me with this work. Although they dwell within the
cavernous recesses of this planet, they nevertheless interact with
other worlds within the 'Federation' who oppose the activities of the
Draconian-Orion-Reticulan 'collectivists'. They are constantly working
to establish freedom and truth here on [and under] planet earth.

Since the hybrids/hubrids 'communicate' with me on the intuitive level
rather than through audible or visual communication, I will attempt to
'translate' their often strong impressions into 'words' and convey
what I believe they would have the readers to know and understand
about themselves and their feelings towards us.

So here then is what I strongly feel, and believe, that these
wonderful 'people' would 'say' to us:

Greetings friends;

Or should we say brothers and sisters? For indeed we are your
brothers, your sisters, and your children! Many of those who have had
encounters with the 'Greys' will understand exactly what we mean.

We are the children of your 'seed', and although our DNA has been
altered we nevertheless possess souls, and this makes us just as
'human' as you.

Unlike our erstwhile masters who are lacking what you call 'soul',
many of us 'hybrids' -- realizing our foundational humanity -- began
to develop emotional individuality.

There are apparently several reasons why the Greys began the 'hybrid'
projects. Some projects were to breed stronger beings to serve their
collective empire, others to breed 'Greys' with human characteristics
and specialized psionic abilities who could be used to understand
humans on their own level and who could in turn teach the Greys how to
more easily manipulate humans on various levels.

The Grey collective apparently did not take into account that there
would be -- by the Grace of God -- so much resistance among our kind
to their plans. You see, they could not fully understand the concept
of individuality, compassion and loyalty to one's one kind.

We speak of the 'collective' here and not of the individual 'Greys',
for when it comes down to it, there are no individuals among the
reptilian collective... all serve as individual 'cells' within a vast
organism -- the collective intellect or 'Hive' you might say.

But those of us who have developed free-agency and have broken free
from the 'Hive' HAVE developed human individuality. It is a long and
difficult process to 'wean' ourselves entirely from the collectivist
mindset that many of us were born into. We maintain a limited degree
of collectivity, however have established what you might refer to as a
'firewall' between our society and that of the draconian 'hive'
itself. This is largely for the sake of other Hubrids who are joining
us from time to time, and is necessary for the process of
'deprogramming' them from a mentality of collectivism and the
continual development of their individuality.

We cannot say that it is the 'individual' Greys and Reptiloids who are
the source of the 'evils' which are committed against humans
throughout the universe by the 'Draconian collective'... for as we
have stated, there are no 'individuals' within the collective itself,
save for the malevolent beings who are its ultimate masters. Those
supernatural beings who control the draconian collective ARE the
sources of the evils -- the Greys and Reptiloids are merely the
'tools'. This is true in most cases except in the context that many of
the rebel beings who you call 'fallen angels' have been incarnating
through the soulless reptilian races since very ancient times.

Although we must see things as they really are, we realize that many
of these supernatural beings have corrupted themselves to the point
where there is no more hope for them to return to the good side,
having annihilated any and all goodness within them. However we would
like to believe and hope that some of these rebel beings regret their
present state and the part they played in the ancient rebellions
against the Almighty One. We would like to believe

that one of the underlying motives for the reptiloids/greys and their
breeding a race like ours would be for the purpose of raising up a
race genetically akin to their own kind, yet not their own kind, who
could understand where both the human and reptilian species are coming
from.

Could it be that a faint spark of individuality and concern within the
legions who compose the collective somehow influenced the 'hybrid'
projects, could it be that somewhere deep within the collective there
existed and exists a desire to break free into individual
consciousness and in so doing break free from those supernatural
tyrants who control the collective with a supernatural iron fist?

Could it be that these intelligence's within the collective saw that
the 'logical' thing to do would be for the Greys and their collective
to work in harmony with the universe rather than against it? For the
sake of their own survival? After all, they ARE 'logical' beings, and
many of the directives that have come down from the central command of
the collective have contradicted 'logic' and contributed to a kind of
pervasive confusion and even self-contradicting schizophrenia if not
insanity within the collective.

Being that these intelligence's did not have the power to develop
individual consciousness of their own initiative in the face of the
overwhelming tide of the collective and its twisted leaders, they
understood that if they did succeed in breeding offspring that
possessed natural individuality and emotionalism then these offspring
might in turn break free from the collective, and once having broken
free, help others of their kind who do not possess the self-motivation
to do so. Once these were 'tamed' and 'deprogrammed' and placed in an
environment where free-agency could develop, these 'aliens' could then
be given a choice to decide which side they will serve -- whether they
will remain with us or return to the collective and lose their
individuality in the process.

Knowing full well the dangers of a 'collective' system where no
individual expression is allowed, we have come to develop a deep and
abiding respect for the sacredness of free agency, even to the point
of allowing other beings to 'choose' to destroy themselves if they are
fully intent on doing so. We have also come to deeply respect the
non-interference directives of our dear friends of the Federation worlds.

Ours is a continual struggle, and we are not too proud to say that our
ultimate victory or defeat depends largely on YOU.

Every time YOU give-in to the will of the draconian collective, every
time you believe one of the lies of a 'Grey' that is under the control
of the 'Hive', every time you trade a little piece of you're soul for
the supposed 'benefits' that the collective will tell you are yours IF
you serve them... every time you do this you weaken yourselves and
capitulate you're power to the enemy. In so doing, you make our
struggle all the more desperate.

On the other hand every time you CHALLENGE the claims of the
collective and expose their lies and refuse to allow them to
manipulate you into their agendas, then you strengthen us in the
process. Remember that we are truly YOUR CHILDREN, because the
majority of us within the 'resistance' are more human than beast
[reptilian, insectilian or what have you]. Those genetic hybrids who
do not possess a soul are rare among us because they find it very
difficult to comprehend those individual virtues which come naturally
[or should come naturally] to those possessing a human soul-chakra
matrix and a 'conscience'.

Above and beyond anything else, we would ask that you PRAY to our
ultimate Creator -- as best you understand the concept of 'God'. Ask
the all-knowing and all-loving one to be merciful. Plead for us --
your brothers and sisters and children who live within, parallel to,
and out among the stars, beyond this planet earth. Please PRAY for us
and also for the many others of our kind and your kind who are
presently the captives of the soulless entities serving the
collective. Since physical and intellectual defenses are not
sufficient, being that we are also battling supernatural evils, we
NEED the Divine Intervention of God and his holy 'standing' angels.
Since the draconian collective attacks you and also us on the
physical, psychic and spiritual levels -- we cannot neglect the
spiritual aspects of this conflict.

With this, we of the Hybrid council wish you all the best. May we --
all of us -- do all that we can to bring about a future that will be
everything we had hoped for, and MORE. To our 'parents' out there. You
know who you are. Those of us who have separated ourselves from the
controllers and also those who still remain in their grasp... we send
you our LOVE and our HUGS!!! We remember and cherish every hug and
warm touch that you have given us during those times in the night when
you have been brought to us. Those times, whether you remember them
consciously or not, when you have shared with us your feelings, your
love, and in some cases your fears, and have shown us what being human
is really all about. We want to say, WE LOVE YOU!!! Pray for us as we
pray for you.

Until that time when we can all meet together as one, in TRUE freedom
and peace, may the Almighty SOURCE of all LIFE protect and bless you all!

FDA expands antidepressant warning to young adults

Story Highlights

• FDA expands antidepressant-suicidal thoughts warning to young
adults
• Warning would apply to adults 18-24 during the first month or two
of treatment
• Expert advisory panel recommended the change late last year
• Studies have not shown increased risk of suicidal thoughts in
adults older than 24

The Food and Drug Administration proposed labeling changes that
would expand a warning now on all antidepressants. The current
language applies only to children and adolescents. The expanded
warning would apply to adults 18-24 during the first month or two of
treatment with the drugs, the FDA said.

While it could be a chance finding and the evidence is far from
conclusive, numerous reports have associated left-handedness with
various disorders and, in general, a shorter life span, Dutch

Subject: Matters of Faith on Campus - "Something Seems To Be Going On"

Greetings Everyone,

I thought this might interest members. Near the end of the article
it reads, "Christian Smith, a professor of sociology at the
University of Notre Dame. "Everybody who is talking about it says
something seems to be going on."


I wonder what it could be =)

Love and Light,

Matters of Faith Find a New Prominence on Campus


At Harvard these days, said Professor Gomes, the university
preacher, "There is probably more active religious life now than
there has been in 100 years."

Across the country, on secular campuses as varied as Colgate
University, the University of Wisconsin and the University of
California, Berkeley, chaplains, professors and administrators say
students are drawn to religion and spirituality with more fervor
than at any time they can remember.

More students are enrolling in religion courses, even majoring in
religion; more are living in dormitories or houses where matters of
faith and spirituality are a part of daily conversation; and
discussion groups are being created for students to grapple with
questions like what happens after death, dozens of university
officials said in interviews.

A survey on the spiritual lives of college students, the first of
its kind, showed in 2004 that more than two-thirds of 112,000
freshmen surveyed said they prayed, and that almost 80 percent
believed in God. Nearly half of the freshmen said they were seeking
opportunities to grow spiritually, according to the survey by the
Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California,
Los Angeles.

Compared with 10 or 15 years ago, "there is a greater interest in
religion on campus, both intellectually and spiritually," said
Charles L. Cohen, a professor of history and religious studies at
the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who for a number of years ran
an interdisciplinary major in religious studies. The program was
created seven years ago and has 70 to 75 majors each year.

University officials explained the surge of interest in religion as
partly a result of the rise of the religious right in politics,
which they said has made questions of faith more talked about
generally. In addition, they said, the attacks of Sept. 11
underscored for many the influence of religion on world affairs. And
an influx of evangelical students at secular universities, along
with an increasing number of international students, means students
arrive with a broader array of religious experiences.

Professor Gomes (pronounced like "homes") said a more diverse
student body at Harvard had meant that "the place is more
representative of mainstream America."

"That provides a group of people who don't leave their religion at
home," he said.

At Berkeley, a vast number of undergraduates are Asian-American,
with many coming from observant Christian homes, said the Rev. Randy
Bare, the Presbyterian campus pastor. "That's new, and it's a
remarkable shift," Mr. Bare said.

There are 50 to 60 Christian groups on campus, and student
attendance at Catholic and Presbyterian churches near campus has
picked up significantly, he said. On many other campuses, though,
the renewed interest in faith and spirituality has not necessarily
translated into increased attendance at religious services.

The Rev. Lloyd Steffen, the chaplain at Lehigh University, is among
those who think the war in Iraq has contributed to the interest in
religion among students. "I suspect a lot of that has to do with
uncertainty over the war," Mr. Steffen said.

"My theory is that the baby boomers decided they weren't going to
impose their religious life on their children the way their parents
imposed it on them," Mr. Steffen continued. "The idea was to let
them come to it themselves. And then they get to campus and things
happen; someone dies, a suicide occurs. Real issues arise for them,
and they sometimes feel that they don't have resources to deal with
them. And sometimes they turn to religion and courses in religion."

Increased participation in community service may also reflect
spiritual yearning of students. "We don't use that kind of spiritual
language anymore," said Rebecca S. Chopp, the Colgate
president. "But if you look at the students, they do."

Some sociologists who study religion are skeptical that students'
attitudes have changed significantly, citing a lack of data to
compare current students with those of previous generations. But
even some of those concerned about the data say something has
shifted.

"All I hear from everybody is yes, there is growing interest in
religion and spirituality and an openness on college campuses," said
Christian Smith, a professor of sociology at the University of Notre
Dame. "Everybody who is talking about it says something seems to be
going on."

David D. Burhans, who retired after 33 years as chaplain at the
University of Richmond, said many students "are really exploring,
they are really interested in trying things out, in attending one
another's services."

Lesleigh Cushing, an assistant professor of religion and Jewish
studies at Colgate, said: "I can fill basically any class on the
Bible. I wasn't expecting that."

When Benjamin Wright, chairman of the department of religion studies
at Lehigh, arrived 17 years ago, two students chose to major in
religion. This year there are 18 religion majors, and there were 30
two and three years ago.

At Harvard, more students are enrolling in religion courses and
regularly attending religious services, Professor Gomes said.
Presbyterian ministries at Berkeley and Wisconsin have built
dormitories to offer spiritual services to students and encourage
discussion among different faiths. The seven-story building on the
Wisconsin campus, which will house 280 students, is to open in
August.

At Colgate, five Buddhist and Hindu students received permission to
live in a new apartment complex on the edge of campus this year.
They call their apartment Asian Spirituality House and they use it
for meetings and occasional religious events.

The number of student religious organizations at Colgate has grown
to 11 from 5 in recent years. The university's Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish chaplains oversee an array of programs and events. Many
involve providing food to students, a phenomenon that the university
chaplain, Mark Shiner, jokingly calls "gastro-evangelism."

Among the new clubs is one created last year to encourage students
to hold wide-ranging dialogues about spirituality and faith. Meeting
over lunch on Thursdays in the chapel's basement, the students talk
about what happens when you die or the nature of Catholic
spirituality.

Called the Heretics Club (the chaplains were looking to grab
students' attention), the group listened to John Gattuso talk about
his book, "Talking to God: Portrait of a World at Prayer" (Stone
Creek Publications, 2006), a collection of essays and photos about
prayer in world religions.

"Do you need to believe in God in order to pray?" Mr. Gattuso asked.

The discussion was off and running, with one student saying one
needed only to believe in "something outside yourself" and another
saying that "sometimes `Thank you' can be a prayer."

Afterward, several students talked about what attracted them to the
sessions, besides the sandwiches, chips and fruit. Gabe Conant, a
junior, said he wanted to contemplate personal questions about his
own faith. He described them this way: "What are these things I was
raised in and do I want to keep them?"

FDA: Millions of Chickens Fed Contaminated Pet Food

TUESDAY, May 1 (HealthDay News) -- Up to 3 million broiler chickens
were fed melamine-tainted pet food and then sold on the U.S. market
beginning in early February, U.S. health officials said in a press
conference held late Tuesday.


The contaminated pet product made its way into poultry feed at 38
Indiana farms, 30 of which produced broiler chickens destined for
restaurants and supermarkets, said officials at the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and the U.S.Department of Agriculture.


Approximately 2.5 million to 3 million chickens fed contaminated pet
food have already been sold, Kenneth Peterson, assistant
administrator for field operations at the USDA's Food Safety and
Inspection Service, said during the teleconference. "That's out of a
total of 9 billion broilers processed in the U.S. each year," he
noted.


Experts from both agencies downplayed any potential threat to human
health.


"We still have no evidence of harm to humans or to swine" from the
use of the tainted pet product, said Dr. David Acheson, who began
his tenure as the FDA's new assistant commissioner for food
protection on Tuesday. Acheson said that the contaminated food
constituted only about 5 percent of the total feed at the
farms. "The risk to humans is small," he said.


Peterson added that some 100,000 breeder chickens are being held in
quarantine at some of the Indiana farms. Those chickens have been
quarantined and may be euthanized, the FDA and USDA said. The
agencies also warned in a statement issued late Monday that "as the
investigation continues, additional farms will likely be identified
that received contaminated feed."


The announcement comes on the heels of similar discoveries at hog
farms across the United States. The USDA first announced on Thursday
that meat from 345 hogs suspected of eating the contaminated feed
had entered the U.S. food supply. Some 6,000 hogs suspected of
eating the contaminated product have since been quarantined and meat
from these animals will be withheld from the food supply, both
agencies said.


"As with exposure from hogs fed contaminated pet food and for
similar reasons related to the dilution of the contamination, FDA
and USDA believe the likelihood of illness after eating chicken fed
the contaminated product is very low," the agencies said Monday
night. "Because there is no evidence of harm to humans associated
with consumption of chicken fed the contaminated product, no recall
of poultry products processed from these animals is being issued."


In a similar vein, U.S. health officials have continued to reassure
American consumers that pork products from hogs fed contaminated pet
food were safe, even as reports surfaced that China has routinely
added the contaminant melamine to its exported animal food
supplements.


In a joint statement issued late Saturday, the FDA and USDA stressed
that, "We are not aware of any human illness that has occurred from
exposure to melamine or its byproducts." They added that they have
also identified no illnesses in swine fed the salvage food tainted
by melamine, which was imported from China as an additive to wheat
gluten used in dog and cat food.


Melamine, a derivative of coal, is at the center of the United
States' largest pet food recall, involving more than 60 million
packages of 100 name-brand products. The chemical has been linked to
the deaths of at least 16 pets and the illness of possibly thousands
of animals.


In the Saturday statement, the FDA and the USDA said the possibility
of human illness from eating swine exposed to melamine remains low
for several reasons: "First, it is a partial ingredient in the pet
food; second, it is only part of the total feed given to the hogs;
third, it is not known to accumulate in the hogs, and the hogs
excrete melamine in their urine; fourth, even if present in pork,
pork is only a small part of the average American diet."


On April 25, the Pet Food Institute (PFI), which represents U.S. pet
food manufacturers, asked the U. S. Trade Representative Susan C.
Schwab and the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration
Andrew von Eschenbach for "swift action to answer questions about
how melamine, a substance foreign to pet food, ended up in specific
ingredients from China," according to a PFI statement.


On Monday, The New York Times reported that Chinese producers
routinely add melamine to wheat gluten and rice protein in animal
feed products to falsely inflate levels of protein.


In interviews with agricultural workers and managers in China, the
newspaper reported that animal feed producers have secretly added
melamine to their feed for years because, during tests, it appears
to be a protein, even though it doesn't add any nutritional benefits.


"Many companies buy melamine scrap to make animal feed, such as fish
feed," Ji Denghui, general manager of the Fujian Sanming Dinghui
Chemical Company, which sells melamine, told the Times. "I don't
know if there's a regulation on it. Probably not. No law or
regulation says 'don't do it,' so everyone's doing it. The laws in
China are like that, aren't they? If there's no accident, there
won't be any regulation."


"We don't know if this has been going on in China for a long time,"
Acheson said during a teleconference Monday. "But I have read
reports that this is something that has not started recently," he
said.


On Thursday, China banned melamine from its food products, but
rejected the charge that the substance caused the U.S. pet deaths,
the Associated Press reported.

It's not clear how -- or even if -- melamine became fatal in pet
food, because it's not believed to be particularly toxic. But U.S.
law bans its presence in any form of food, the newspaper said.

The rice protein was imported to the United States by Wilbur-Ellis,
an agricultural product importer and distributor. The FDA said it is
continuing its investigation of the source of the adulterated pet
food, including "tracing products distributed since August 2006 by
Wilbur-Ellis throughout the distribution chain."

In their latest statement, the FDA and the USDA said that, as of
April 26, they had identified sites in six states where contaminated
pet food was received and used in feed given to hogs: California,
Kansas, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina and Utah.

On Friday, FDA officials searched the facilities of a pet food
manufacturer and one of its suppliers in the continuing probe of the
contamination, the Associated Press reported.

The officials searched an Emporia, Kan., pet food plant operated by
Menu Foods and the Las Vegas offices of ChemNutra Inc., the news
service said, citing information supplied by the companies.

Menu Foods made many of the major brands of dog and cat foods that
were recalled because of the melamine-contaminated wheat gluten.
ChemNutra supplied Menu Foods with the wheat gluten, which was also
imported from China but reportedly from a different supplier than
the rice protein.

Both companies said they were cooperating with the investigation,
the AP said.

Hydrotherapy, Tai Chi can ease osteoarthritis


NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Both water-based exercise and the
Chinese exercise system Tai Chi can help older people with severe
arthritis move and feel better, researchers from Australia report.


Among men and women 60 and older with chronic osteoarthritis of the
hip and knee, those who participated in 12 weeks of hydrotherapy or
Tai Chi experienced significant improvements in pain and physical
function scores, Marlene Fransen of The George Institute for
International Health at the University of Sydney and her colleagues
found.

However, participants in the hydrotherapy group were more likely to
attend sessions than those assigned to Tai Chi. They also
experienced significant improvements in measurements of physical
performance, such as ability to climb stairs and walk, which weren't
seen in the Tai Chi group.

"Hydrotherapy classes appeared to be more acceptable (higher
attendance), appeared to provide greater relief of joint pain, and
resulted in larger improvements in objective measurements of
physical performance," Fransen and her team conclude in the medical
journal Arthritis & Rheumatism.

The researchers randomly assigned 152 people to hydrotherapy, Tai
Chi, or a waiting group. Classes lasted an hour and were offered
twice a week.

After 12 weeks, there were significant improvements on scores
measuring pain and physical function in both groups. Both groups
also showed improvements in physical performance scores, but these
improvements were only significant from a statistical standpoint in
the hydrotherapy group.

At 24 weeks, all improvements had been sustained, and were greater
than have been demonstrated in studies of traditional land-based
exercise for arthritis patients, the researchers noted.

Among the hydrotherapy group, 81 percent attended 12 or more of the
24 available classes, compared to 61 percent of those assigned to
Tai Chi.

Just one of the study participants was Asian while the rest were
white, which may have made them less accepting of the Tai Chi
exercises, Fransen and her colleagues say. They also point out that
Tai Chi requires participants to stand with knees bent, which can be
difficult for individuals suffering from knee pain.

Spiritual Wake-up Calls
Changing the Past
by Michael McGinnis


Everyone has a past full of troubles. The older you are, the more
you have collected. How can we keep from being buried in a growing
tide of memories of unhappiness and misfortune?

Imagine your reaction to a headline like this on the
news: "Scientist discovers how to change the past." You might think -
- what's past is past and can't be changed -- this doesn't make
sense. But it has happened to me, and maybe to you as well.

This story happened when I was in the first years of high school in
Nanaimo, B.C. I had done very well in elementary school, but when I
moved to a large high school a number of students in my grade eight
class turned out to be bullies who decided I was a good target. In
many ways that year was a misery. Early in the next school year my
family moved to a different town. As my homeroom teacher and I
walked down the corridor in the Nanaimo school as I prepared to
leave, we encountered the principal. My teacher told the principal
that he was sorry to say that I was leaving. His one word reply
was, "Good."

I figured that I had just been insulted, and started to hate my
former principal. And so it was for several years -- when I looked
back at that incident, my feelings were betrayal and hate.

Eventually, my understanding of my life grew. I realized that the
principal was well aware of the problems I had been having in
school. He knew that by moving to a new school, I would have a
chance to make a new beginning elsewhere. And so he said, "Good."
because for me it was the best thing that could have happened. I
think of that principal now with appreciation and respect.

And so the past changed for me. When I was 15, looking back on that
incident in 1966, I felt great hostility. By the time I was 20, I
looked back on the same occasion with gratitude.

The past exists because of two things -- a memory to retain events
which happened in the past and a state of consciousness to interpret
them. A person with no understanding of life has no past. Animals,
as well as people, can learn to interpret changes in their
environment to their advantage, so both have some sense of the past.
The grosbeaks who visit my yard have learned where the feeder is,
and where the visiting cat is likely to be. But their interpretation
changed with time: at first, the feeder was a place they could
always go for food in safety. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Sylvester
the cat started visiting, and the birds had to learn new ways. One
female didn't, by the evidence of brown feathers on my lawn.

The past has no separate existence -- it exists only because
something experienced it. When our understanding changes, our view
of the past changes though the past events themselves are still the
same. The principal at my high school spoke only one word to me --
that event is fixed. Yet, when the understanding changes, events
change in importance. Something that seemed serious long ago fades
to insignificance, or changes from being a negative to a positive
experience, in the light of better understanding.

My lesson has been to enjoy the lessons of the past without getting
caught up in them. The grosbeaks learned from their experiences to
be careful using the feeder, but they don't regret the past. Like
them, I should be able to learn from my past, so I can transform
unhappy past experiences into positive ones. I can change my past
experiences from destructive to constructive. Also like the
grosbeaks I should be able to use my better understanding not to
dwell on the past, but to live my life more fully now. The grosbeaks
are having a great time at the feeder!

  New Faithful Practice Away From Churches

  (CBS) CHICAGO Many theologians believe the Emerging Church Movement
is the fastest growing group in Christianity. It has no national
organization or coordination, so it's almost impossible to know just
how big it is.

Some estimates say there are 20 million of these new faithful in the
U.S. alone -- that's more than Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Mormons
put together. "It's really not a rebellion so much as it's just

Greetings Family Members,

Another tidbit of information about the benefits of drinking coffee.


Coffee can be good for you, experts say

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Drinking coffee can help ward off type 2
diabetes and may even help prevent certain cancers, according to
panelists discussing the benefits -- and risks -- of the beverage at
a scientific meeting.


"We're coming from a situation where coffee had a very negative
health image," Dr. Rob van Dam of the Harvard School of Public
Health, who has conducted studies on coffee consumption and
diabetes, told Reuters Health. Nevertheless, he added, "it's not
like we're promoting coffee as the new health food and asking people
who don't like coffee to drink coffee for their health."

Van Dam participated in a "controversy session" on coffee at the
Experimental Biology 2007 meeting underway in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Lenore Arab of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA also
took part, presenting results of a review of nearly 400 studies
investigating coffee consumption and cancer risk.

There's evidence, Arab noted, that the beverage may protect against
certain types of colon cancer, as well as rectal and liver cancer,
possibly by reducing the amount of cholesterol, bile acid and
natural sterol secretion in the colon, speeding up the passage of
stool through the colon (and thus cutting exposure of the lining of
the intestine to potential carcinogens in food), and via other
mechanisms as well.

However, Arab did find evidence that coffee may increase the risk of
leukemia and stomach cancer, with the case for leukemia being
strongest.

The findings suggest that people who may be vulnerable to these
risks -- for example pregnant women and children -- should limit
coffee consumption, van Dam noted in an interview.

He and his colleagues are now conducting a clinical trial to get a
clearer picture of the diabetes-preventing effects of coffee, which
were first reported in 2002. Since then, he noted, there have been
more than 20 studies on the topic.

Van Dam and his team are also looking for which of the "hundreds to
thousands" of components of coffee might be responsible for these
effects. It's probably not caffeine, he noted, given that decaf and
caffeinated coffee have similar effects on reducing diabetes risk.

His top candidate, van Dam says, is chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant
that slows the absorption of glucose in the intestines.

Chocolate is rich in flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants
found in many plant-based foods. A good amount of research has
looked at how humans benefit from the consumption of foods with
flavonoids." Other foods rich in flavonoids include apples, peanuts,
onions, cranberries, tea, and red wine.


Raw Cacao is the highest known source of anti-oxidants by a factor
of almost 5!   It has nearly 20 times the antioxidant levels of red
wine and up to 30 times what is found in green tea!*   A new
laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)
was developed by USDA researchers at Tufts University to rate the
antioxidant levels of fruits and vegetables.


Why choose dark chocolate?

Contains flavonoids called procyanidins & epicatechins; flavonoids
are part of a group of antioxidants known as polyphenols and are
found in a variety of foods including tea, red wine, and various
fruits and vegetables

Decreases LDL (bad) cholesterol oxidation
Reduces the risk of blood clots
Increases blood flow in arteries
May lower high blood pressure

Cocoa may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels because it
consists mainly of stearic acid and oleic acid. Stearic acid is a
saturated fat but unlike most saturated fatty acids, it does not
raise blood cholesterol levels. Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat,
does not raise cholesterol and may even reduce it.

May improve mood and pleasure by boosting serotonin and endorphin
levels in the brain

Contains a number of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and
potassium

Phytochemicals in red wine may slow Alzheimer's disease
When administered the equivalent to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's definition of a "moderate" amount of wine -- 5 ounces
daily for women and 10 ounces daily for men -- memory loss and brain
cell death slowed in mice with an Alzheimer's-like disease,
researchers reported in the Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology Journal.

"Moderate consumption is the key factor,"

http://www.newstarget.com/020576.html

------------------

There are studies that have shown that people, who drink a couple of
glasses of wine a week, live longer than people who don't. Red wine
is also a great stress reliever. People who sit down and have one
glass of wine.

Another health benefit of red wine is that it lowers the total
overall cholesterol number and it raises the number of the HDL which
is the good cholesterol. Older people who drink red wine on a
regular basis are less likely to have mental illness or some type of
disability. Red wine is also beneficial in helping women maintain
their estrogen level and helps them absorb calcium and can help
stave off osteoporosis.

-------------------

A substance found in red wine protected mice from the ill effects of
obesity and extended their life spans, raising the tantalizing
prospect that the compound could do the same for humans and may also
help people live longer, healthier lives, researchers reported
yesterday. The substance is called resveratrol..

Sodalite:

Sodalite is a member of the feldspathoid group. These minerals are
chemically similar to the feldspars but have considerably less
silica, forming from alkali-rich silica-poor melts. Sodalite occurs
in a blue massive form which is a popular lapidary material.
Sodalite also occurs as a minor constituent in the mineral aggregate
lapis lazuli.


Sodalite is claimed to have the following healing properties:

Sodalite is said to increase one's confidence and to enhance
creativity, and to have a balancing effect on one's emotions and
mental state. It is claimed to alleviate fear and bring clarity of
mind and is a good stone for Psychic Protection. Sodalite is
believed to strengthen the metabolism and lymphatic system. It is
also said to enhance self expression and communication, to eliminate
confusion, bring peace and to facilitate spiritual growth. This
mineral is said -like it's sister stone Lapis Lazuli- to benefit the
higher self. In particular, sodalite is said to help prevent
diabetes and is useful in the treatment of digestive system
disorders.
