ENERGY UPGRADES MAY/JUNE 2012 by Maureen Moss
| Dearest Hearts, As always, I pray you are well during the most potent energetic time to date in our lifetime. During this month of May and June humanity is being given ascension frequency patterns and new encodements, in preparation for the 12-12-12 and 12-21-12 in the form of powerful energy impulses from the Moon, the Sun, the Planets and more. For each that have taken a conscious and loving stewardship over their body, mind, heart and spirit, and strongly connected to the God of their being, these potent energy impulses will not only have you noticing an infusion of Unity Consciousness, a stronger personal Life force and a less convoluted sense of self, there is also the internal awareness of a newfound freedom you have long awaited from the distorted and manipulated Human Template. The most frequently asked question is will this happen for everyone? The answer is it will happen to those who have taken the loving responsibility to make themselves ready. Preparation is not an intellectual pursuit, though is one of the heart. Consider, that there was never a Master nor Avatar that didn't spend a great deal of their life going through numerous initiations and one surrender upon another, resisting nothing and clarifying everything by using their feeling nature and the wisdom, mind and heart of God, not the mind of human, in their pursuit of freedom. To the degree one will experience freedom is to the degree one is willing to pursue it. The assistance from the Wesak Moon, the Solar Eclipse on May 20 and the Venus Transit on June 6 has and will continue to catalyze a quickened evolution in consciousness, for the prepared. Each will begin to experience and be able to accept more and more Love from Creator Source, for Creator Source, and with and for each other, as the vibration of love becomes their dominant nature. The prepared are those who have chosen to consciously take action to merge with their I AM Presence; by remaining in their hearts, taking dominion over the lower mind, emotional body and ego, being consistently loving and compassionate toward Self and all others, remaining connected with one's authentic Self by weeding out the past and the Imposter self, and dancing, not fighting with the Mystery. The prepared resist nothing and find comfort being in a state of surrender and willingness, while not forsaking their strength and power. Each commit to attaining clarity, rather than maintaining uncertainty. They dissolve connection to their past stories, judgments and seeming betrayals. They hold their hand over their heart, breathe the breath of God and ask for guidance. They learn the art of integration and ultimately remain deeply connected to the Light of God within them, in order that these influential and powerful Cosmic/Divine energies have room to insert themselves into the body temple, and then be distributed throughout the etheric field. Perhaps a tall order, each of us have said yes, to the most profound act of consciousness; allowing Heaven to be made manifest on earth, through the temple of our beings. We are loved beyond measure for accepting this daunting task. Once complete, Unity Consciousness will over-light all of consciousness, thus rendering the human illusory game of life, over. Freedom and peace for each will prevail. Beloveds, we are in the urgent phase of our evolution, now. Nothing is more important. Nothing. In a meditation this past week I was gifted with these words, "We have come time and again to raise humanity's vibration, and provide the pathway to freedom. Many have turned a deaf ear and suffered. Now, We and all of Cosmic Energetic Intelligence; the Moon, the stars, the planets and the Great Central Sun come together as One System to impulse and stream waves of Pure Light and Source Love to upgrade and reactivate the Divine grid system of humanity and the electromagnetic field of earth, making it possible for each to return Home. Humanity must now accept their own potential, as we do, love themselves as we do and join us as One System willing to pulse the same Light, Love and Unity Consciousness on Planet Earth, altering the course of humanity forevermore." Beloveds, we are being led to the most powerful victory a collective human species has ever experienced. Are you willing to be ready and available at all times and in all places to serve the Divine Plan? Are you willing to embrace the forms of what one might deem trial and tribulation (each of which are blessings in disguise) in order to carry out the Divine Plan? What are you willing to commit to prepare yourself to join the One System that vibrates only love and pulses only Light, Love and Unity Consciousness onto, into and through yourself and all sentient beings? Are you willing to hold yourself accountable, in a loving way? Beloveds, I am not here to preach, be self-righteous, or play guru, for I am not. I am you and you are me. This is my part of service. This is the work I was led to long ago. Something God told me almost 30 years ago, and it has never left me, was that I would never teach that which I would not experience. Little did I know what that would mean for my life. Little did I know how many deaths I would experience. Little did I know how much endurance I would need or the endless breaths of God I would take to make it through another piece of my Life. And little did I know how many blessings would be bestowed upon me, though admittedly I had to search for many of them. That too, was part of the plan. And so here I am, humbly asking you to go deeper within yourself every day, as we close down this cycle, just a few months away. Banish your past, all of it. Revel in now and create your life, as you prefer. If prepared you will be able. There is so much at stake. Your part is necessary, needed and honored. You are an equal part in this transformation. No one on this earth is better nor more worthy than you. No one. If you do your part to Master Mastery, and meet the Universe, with its profound shower of transformative Energetic Impulses and Pure Love, somewhere between Heaven and Earth, you will be liberated and have full access to the encodements that completely melt down the human template, destroy all imbalances and energetic interference, thus leading you to your magnificence, and into a protected, new frequency/ascension pattern... the pattern of "The Christ Consciousness."  Know you are loved, Maureen (Please feel free to share this article keeping my name and websites http://www.maureenmoss.com and http://www.worldpuja.org intact.) Katelon T. Jeffereys |
ROOTS IN THE SKY
| I started listening to the music group Oregon in the late 70's and was lucky enough to see them in concert a few times. The first time was at Arcosanti, an experimental community in AZ, built to embody Paolo Soleri's concept of arcology - the fusion of architecture with ecology. I was at a music festival and the crowd was waiting to hear Stephen Stills so they weren't very gracious to this amazing group of jazz musicians. Later I was able to hear both the band and later Ralph Towner, the guitar/pianist, solo, at the beautiful Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. I used to lay on my floor with headphones on, listening to this band for hours. The unusual way they played their instruments, Collin Walcott's amazing tabla and sitar playing, Paul McCandless playing a ceramic vessel, stirred something deep within me. I loved how powerful, wandering and emotional their music was and I became quite a fan. The cover art for their album Roots In The Sky particularly drew me as I'd felt since early childhood that I came from another world, was a visitor on this planet, here to help it in some way, but definitely with "roots" elsewhere. So in contemplating this cover, while informed by the music, I wrote this poem in 1986. I included it in a Christmas card that year and sent it also to President Reagan and congressmen from AZ, pleading with them to end their funding of the covert war in Nicaragua. Later in 1988, I was sitting in a yoga studio, warming up my guitar, waiting for my very young creative movement and music students to arrive and all of a sudden the music came to turn this poem into a song. Hope you enjoy the poem. Wherever you are from, whatever you are doing here, know that each of you has a contribution to make for this amazing planetary transformation we are in the midst of.Roots In The SkyThis land, these trees, these flowers Of which we’re all a part Let us all heed the call It is time for us to startMy roots are in the sky But my heart, is here on earth I feel the call to heal And sing for her rebirth To begin to heal this darkness, We’ve created on our mother It’s important to feel the truth, That we truly are sisters and brothers So now, let’s sing for love, Embracing all we see and feel Blessing the joy, pain and bliss, Accepting it all, allowing it to heal Light flowing into darkness, Darkness flowing into light We can usher in the change, If we rejoice with all our might My roots are in the sky |
Creating a New Life By Changing Your Perspective!
I've been thinking about perspective lately...what we focus on and how we focus on it. In the picture above, you might focus on the tree in the foreground. You might notice the various colors, textures and designs in the bark. You might even see a face in the designs. You might focus on the branches. Or, you can focus on the bush in the background, framed between the two main branches of the foreground tree. You could focus on the other bushes in the background, to the sides of the foreground tree. You might focus on the snow. You might dislike the snow and thus form opinions or feelings about the picture based on them. You might love the snow and thus other thoughts and feelings might arise. We all bring our preferences, past experiences and future dreams to any present experience, whether we are conscious of that happening...or not. In the media these days we are blasted with pictures and articles about conflicting political opinions, wars, the economy, celebrity news, violence, hunger, poverty. And thus our senses, and our feelings can be pushed to feel fear, anger, judgment, envy, powerlessness. But there is also other news out there that focuses on successes, people waking up to stand up for a better world. It is our choice what to focus on and how or if to react to any of it. And just like you can change your perspective as you look at the picture above, you have the power and choice to change your perspective about the experiences the news reports as well as the experiences in your own life. As a child, we might imagine there are bogeymen in the closet. Then usually, a parent turns on the light in the room and perhaps in the closet, to point out that it is just filled with our clothes, maybe our toys and books, with no bogeyman present. I feel that is what is happening in the world now. We are shown violence, greed, and a few people holding the reins of power and attempting to rule others with their beliefs and actions. But I truly believe that the light has been turned on, is flooding our planet, our bodies, our cells, thus anything that is dark or limiting in any way is becoming apparent. So this light exposes what has been hidden in the “closets” of our world and our lives. This leaves us with a choice to feel powerless, and in fear, or for us to instead, know the power and light we all carry and are connected to and we can take action to make a change instead. I have watched myself recoil in disgust or horror at some reaction of mine or something or someone I have attracted into my life, bringing up a judgment about myself and/or the other. Instead, I am learning to meet this reaction of mine with love, just looking at it as information about some limiting belief I have been holding onto, some thought of separation, and I can now choose to heal that limitation, remember that in truth we are all one, all in need of love and forgiveness. This moves me back to a place of empowerment, creates a more peaceful environment within and around me. This is a step forward for me and for humanity! I am loving this new place of more softness and compassion. I feel this is the emotion and feeling that is going to help transform the world as well as myself. I invite you to join me by changing your judgment to curiosity. You can ask yourself questions such as "Why am I feeling this way?”, "Where does this thought/feeling come from?", "Is there another choice to make here?", "What leaves me feeling lighter and more empowered?" , "Can I see this another way?" Sometimes the answer will come right away and sometimes it comes days later. But it will come. And then you have a choice to choose peace, love, compassion, understanding, empowerment, or fear and powerlessness. I prefer the openness and lightness that the choice of love and compassion brings me. It doesn't mean that you leave yourself feeling unsafe, or invite some person or situation into your life that isn't healthy for you, but you can still have compassion and love for that person or situation. Then you are free to take enlightened actions. Try it out and let me know how it goes!Katelon T. Jeffereys http://www.empowerandbalance.com/ Seattle Life Coach |
Relationships and Higher Purpose, Chapter 11: Your Purpose and Spiritual Calling | The New Message from God
You have come into the world for a purpose—to reclaim your Knowledge, to express your Knowledge and to establish genuine relationships with others. This is your purpose and everyone’s purpose here. Your calling is part of this. Your calling is where your greater work, born of your Knowledge, becomes evident. It is born of your preparation in Knowledge, it is born of your readiness for Knowledge and it is born of your marriage to Knowledge within yourself. This makes true marriage with others possible.
Your calling represents a specific set of tasks to be carried out in the world. This represents your life’s work. This cannot be born of your ideas to have any meaning. It must emanate from Knowledge within you. And you must be in a position to accept this—to accept the challenge of it, to accept what you may have to relinquish to receive it and to accept the benefits that it will most surely provide for you.
You have come into the world with a purpose. At a certain stage in your development, your calling in life will emerge. Before this emergence, you may have built great ideas about who you are in the world, what the world must be, what you must be, what you will do, what you will have and what others should do and so forth. Ideas like this at the outset can be helpful because they can keep your desire for the truth alive. However, eventually these ideas must give way to reality. Here your idealism dies so that Knowledge may emerge within you. This does not mean that hope dies. It merely means that hope now has a real foundation for its expression. It does not mean that your enthusiasm dies. It means that your enthusiasm has a genuine foundation in order to survive the conflicts and tribulations of the world.
You already have a commitment to being in the world. You are already committed to your Spiritual Family and to your Inner Teachers, who are the advanced members of your Spiritual Family. They are the members of your Spiritual Family who have graduated from learning in the physical reality. Now they must assist those who remain behind so that your Spiritual Family may move forward. Therefore, you already share a purpose with your Spiritual Family beyond the world. You already have marriage beyond the world, you already have commitment beyond the world and you already have a reality beyond the world. Your role is to bring all this into the world, for the world is a place where people have forgotten Knowledge, marriage, purpose and commitment. It is a place where people imagine who they are and imagine what they want.
You must have purpose in life because purpose is life. If you are committed to your ideas, that will be your purpose. If you are committed to your personal fulfillment, that will be your purpose. If you are committed to conflict, that will your purpose. If you are committed to avoiding painful experiences, that will be your purpose. You cannot be without purpose because you cannot be without meaning. All activity in the world is a search for meaning, which is a search for purpose and ultimately for relationship.
Alone you have no real purpose, meaning or direction. You have no real identity alone. However, as an individual expressing a Greater Reality, you do have purpose, meaning and direction. You exist within yourself, but you are not alone. You can only be alone in your imagination. You can only live alone in fantasy. As fantasy is recognized through its limitations and its inherent disappointments, a greater truth will emerge and you will see that you have a higher purpose in life already.
As your desire and capacity for experiencing Knowledge grow and expand, your calling in life will emerge. Here you will see that there is something specific for you to do. Here your shape and design become truly meaningful, for you can see how perfectly you are designed to accomplish what you came here to do. This leads to self-acceptance, for here you realize that you were specifically made for a task that you had not recognized before. This will end self-condemnation.
It is not necessary that you determine what your calling is although you will be tempted to do so. It will emerge naturally. When it does, it may not at all look like what you thought it was going to be. Real spiritual calling is rarely grand in its expression. Yet its essence is Knowledge, and therefore it provides meaning and value for others as well as for yourself.
Some people imagine that having a spiritual calling will establish them as a spiritual prince or princess, a prophet or a leader of great renown, a person of great psychic powers or a spiritual master. This is almost never the case. That is why there are no masters living in the world. Give up mastery. Give up these illusions. You will find that your true marriage, true purpose and true calling in life will be very simple. They will be geared towards who you really are and what you can really do. And you will be happy that what will be asked of you is what you will naturally want to provide, for you possess it already.
In idealism, your expectations of yourself may be cruel or great. But in Knowledge, your expectations are in keeping with your desire to contribute. Here you realize at last that what you want for yourself and what God wants for you are exactly the same. This, however, can only be realized through Knowledge. It can only be realized through the necessary progression and development that are being illustrated here.
When your experience of higher purpose matures to a certain point, your calling will emerge. However, it is very important that your calling only emerge when you are ready to undertake it. If your calling emerges before you are ready to undertake it, you will feel great confusion and discouragement. It will be a great problem for you. That is why God’s Plan is designed so that your calling will emerge when you are ready. For what could be more terrible for you than to recognize your calling and not be able to fulfill it? Think about this.
God’s Plan has been established for your success. The Plan has been established to keep Knowledge alive in the world through its expression and demonstration. The Plan has been established so that genuine marriage may bless all relationships. The Plan has been established so that each individual has an opportunity to make progress and to contribute to others.
Therefore, be happy that you have a higher purpose in life, for this means that your life is meaningful and not chaotic. It means that you have an origin and a destiny beyond this world. It means that life is eternal even as it passes through this temporary phase of worldly existence. Be grateful, then, that the relationships you reclaim unto yourself you will be able to keep, for once you have recognized another, you cannot forget that person. The advancement you make here is permanent. It is only your assessment of yourself that can deteriorate. It is only your ability to meet your destiny in the world that can be offset or denied, thus wasting your valuable time.
Would you want to go through birth and childhood all over again just to arrive at the point at which you are now? Who would want to go through twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty or seventy years of preparation all over again? You do not want to go through all of this again. Therefore, make full use of where you are now. Your higher purpose is with you. Do not define it. It will define you. Your calling is awaiting you. Do not define it, for it will emerge when you are ready.
However, for it to emerge, your calling will require that certain other individuals be ready as well. This is because you are working in tandem with your Spiritual Family and because your Knowledge is working according to a Greater Plan. Your advancement, though primarily on your shoulders, is also dependent upon the development of certain individuals with whom you will become meaningfully engaged. If they do not develop, then you cannot fulfill your purpose. This is very important to understand. Here you have a great responsibility, for you are undertaking your development not only for yourself, but also for your Spiritual Family. This is why such great emphasis is placed upon your development. If this were merely a selfish pursuit, it would have no value.
Your higher purpose carries this responsibility. This is what makes it powerful. This is what makes it necessary. At any given moment, you may feel unworthy of your own effort. But those whom you love are worthy. It takes relationship to provide the context and the motivation for you to give. It takes relationship to provide the inspiration for you to give. It takes relationship to enable you to see that you have a gift.
Accept your higher purpose even if it is without definition. It is a power that you can feel within yourself every day. Accept your calling in life though it is unrealized as yet, for it is awaiting you. Here you need only follow Knowledge and maintain your practical obligations in the world. Here you need not plan your future based upon current aims, but set only temporary goals to maintain your focus and your development.
As your calling in life begins to emerge, you will see increasingly that even your childhood contained an element of this greater truth. You will see that even in the early stages of development, the seed of truth and the light of truth were always with you. Yet they were competing with many other things in those earlier times. Now the competition is falling away, for it has not been able to keep pace with Knowledge. You will keep pace with Knowledge if you are able to complete the stages of development. As you do this, you will become Knowledge itself, for at the end of life, only Knowledge is there to greet God.
I really enjoyed this article as it validated my early and continued experiences about truth and destiny! Enjoy!

Love, Vibration and your Essence by Maureen Moss
| I really loved this article! I am choosing to be the love that I am, shine out the love that I am...care to join me? Katelon T. Jeffereys www.empowerandbalance.com LOVE, VIBRATION AND YOUR ESSENCE Dearest Hearts, Love is in the air, though not in the way in which it used to be for many. Valentine's Day has a way of evoking thoughts of love, though far too often not a very evolved way of love, as it typically brings up the age old stories we hold about love and our worth. It's a day that has many looking for what to do, what to buy and how to show their love on what has long been deemed, "that very special day of love." On that day, other minds backed by the ego, tend to think thoughts about lack; the lack of love not being in their lives or not being lovable, as there is not a particular man or woman to be the living example proving that they are lovable. How far have we evolved or strayed from present moment awareness of the fact, that we are Love, and Lovable (Created, blessed and sent to Earth as such) regardless of what the unreliable mind tells us, on Valentine's Day or any other day? How in the world can we even allow one day to be a defining moment of ourselves. Only the mind could devise such a scheme. We are Love, we are Light, we are the Essence of All That Is and that is that, period. The only way that Truth can be distorted and disproven is if we have closed our own hearts to this Truth, and absolutely refused to take proper ownership of ourselves, which includes loving ourselves as if our lives depended upon it... because it does! We are first and foremost meant to be our greatest lovers. As such, we are able to get on with proper Stewardship of the Essence of our Being. Beloveds, you are worth finding the Truth out about your true identity, the ways in which to love yourself, to be enough for yourself and how that magnificent being of yours is meant to operate. All else will follow. The clock is ticking... no time to waste Beloveds... no time to waste. Check in with yourself. Are you, in any way, guarding your heart, letting the old stories of not being loved or lovable tangle themselves up inside the temple of your being, strangling the Truth out of you? Have you let yourself be loved, first by you, and then fully unguarded by another? Have you dialed in your very own loving vibration that then goes out into the world, and changes it each time you step out? Ok, it doesn't matter what was. It only matters what is. The main questions: What can I do to love myself more? What can I learn about loving myself more? When each of us loves ourselves more, the payoff is we finally accept ourselves, (powerful beyond words,) we vibrate at the rate of ascension, we manifest swiftly, our consciousness raises, the denounced parts of ourselves are transmuted, the very essence of our being Lights up the world, and we become magnets for others to love us and accept us. Love and Vibration is the essence of who we are. It is your Energy in motion. Consider this for a moment. What is the Essence of your Being living like (in motion like) right now? Is it living fired up and out loud, or suppressed longing to come out and have its intended life? Everything about our humanity is at stake now. Who we be and how we express every moment of every day dictates the bandwidth of energy we shall abide in. It dictates our capabilities to manifest. It hinders or helps the entire point of our Beloved Soul's journey here on Earth. It dictates what will become of us when we leave this Planet. If we don't fire up our Essence, (or vitalize our Essence) and vibrate Love everyday and change our perception about the "one stand-out day of love," (Valentine's Day,) and what many minds still continue to do with past perceptions and future thoughts about it, we will spiral back to the dangerous dark ages of our lower nature. What if everyday was a day of love and we acted on it? What if everyday we opened to love, focused on love and made ourselves available to just vanquish the walls and gates that are on our hearts and in our minds by simply loving ourselves first and then all others, without fear or a belief of what someone might think? What if? What if we quit thinking about love and just felt into it and then vibrated it, because it feels natural and unsuppressed? After all the vibration is already in us waiting to be put to its proper use! Vibrating love has so many benefits. It leads to joy, actually child-like joy. It is peaceful yet powerful, it brings us right into alignment with our authentic and natural natures and before we know it our Essence is jumping for joy, and at last we are in the proper ebb and flow of Life. What we call magic, then occurs. Did you know that when any one of us holds the vibration of Love we become neutral to experience, (a huge leap forward) and we initiate a coherent, balanced state of emotion, which, once brought to a stable point, is able to vibrate at an even higher octave that connects us to the Dimension of Love, (yes that Dimension exists) where life becomes a blessing, no longer a struggle, and perhaps more importantly, the mind has no power! You Beloveds are powerful beings of Love and Light, and now is the time to set your heart on fire using every tool in your cache to vibrate love. Consciously vibrate love at every turn; when you give, get, choose, wake up and go to sleep. Vibrate love when you look at yourself in the mirror, at your children, their children, anyone's child. Vibrate love when you look at a lover or a friend, an angel in fur or with feathers or tiny little legs. Vibrate love. Don't just say it. Vibrate it and pour it forth. It's a game changer. It's your Essence saying I AM here. I AM vital. I am showing up fully to be the I AM that I AM. Without one holding Love consciously and steadily one is unable to advance in consciousness. Actually, it has been said by Merlin that, "if we do not have Love within ourselves and for ourselves, we have nothing." Added to that we drastically impact the adamantine particles, the particles that form all of the elements of the Universe, including our bodies. I'm not going to go deep into science here, but this is important for all to understand. The adamantine particles are crystalline particles of infinity that contain the stored potential to manifest any original substance or element. These particles are encoded in you as a Universal DNA that requires power to build other particles and atoms. However, it is only compatible with the magnetic power of Love. The adamantine particles, the crystalline particles of infinity that are stored in you as Universal DNA, are required for manifestation, and once again is only compatible with the magnetic power of Love. The Laws of Love Now Govern Our World. Love ignites and directs adamantine particles into manifestation. What that means for you is that when you vibrate at the level of pure Love, regardless of every human experience that you encounter while living in form, in their varying states and degrees of consciousness, you hold the power, through vibrating love to ignite within you or fire up within you, the particles that literally form all manifesting elements. You each are in a position now to fire yourself up into your Ascension by vibrating love. You are the one to make yourself ready now as the clarion call to come home is NOW. Are you willing to learn how to vibrate love and not give your mind or ego any place to muscle in? Are you willing to really learn how to really steward and course correct your Life now when your consciousness counts like never before, affecting the entire Planet and all of humanity like never before? The Divine has placed a call to us all, and the call is to come home by the 'route of love.' Some will come home, and some will not. It is through our loving choice beneath every action taken, every vibration, vibrated, every thought held, every consciousness lifted hour by hour and moment by moment. What a profound time we live in. What an opportunity. I remember reading the following years and years ago in Love Without Conditions by Glenda Green. In it Jeshua is talking about Love and our adamantine particles. What he said about them was that we must each understand them as a prelude to Ascension. "The adamantine particles, he said, represent a continuous flow of high frequency potential, which manifests into discrete forms and arrangements under the command of Love." This means each must vibrate Love, intending and commanding all particles of their being into a higher octave of themselves. Beloveds we are the custodians of Love on this Planet. What does that mean to you? Take a breath and fire up your heart to vibrate LOVE allowing your Essence to shine! Copyright Maureen Moss.

Latest article by Maureen Moss
Dearest Hearts, As always, I pray you are well. What a compelling year this is proving to be. On the morning of January 1, 2012, I awakened to the feeling of peace and calm. I was deeply appreciative as the previous couple of months had been abrupt, though revealing. On this day it was a beautiful feeling to begin the New Year in peace, knowing it would be the last of its kind in this long cycle of time. I also knew that this year required my full attention. I had stated my intention and commitment to the God of my Being several months earlier. Quietly I moved into meditation on January 1st, preparing, in just hours, for "The World Puja Network's" second annual live 2-hour World Meditation and Planetary Transmission where thousands of people from around the globe were about to join us. (The MP3 and transcript are available to all that were unable to join us, at http://www.maureenmoss.com and http://www.worldpuja.org) The moment all of the hosts gathered, speaking our love and gratitude for each other and all that we were about to embark upon, I felt a blanket of grace around each of us, around the planet, and around humanity. I felt the Angels gathering. I knew what we were about to put forth was important. This is the year, I sensed, where there will be a profound number of awakenings, and we would be of some assistance for each. It may not be a year of comfort, I had long been informed, but it will be one of necessity and ultimately great blessings. And so it began, our two hour World Meditation and Transmission. As it built momentum, dozens and dozens of birds of all sizes and colors gathered in my front yard, on every hedge, bush and tree. I'd never seen that many birds, gathered. Later I found out it was so in my neighbors yard, and then in one of the other speaker's yards in Sedona, Arizona. The birds, in all of their glory were singing, like I had never heard, as though they were bringing forth their Divine Symphony in harmony with ours, carrying the song of Oneness and love out into the world in their glorious way. Tears streamed down my face. I wondered how many other birds were doing the same throughout the world. What a beautiful way to begin the year. Ten days later I received three Emails in one day that took me out of my reverie and into deep, deep stillness for days of contemplation and interaction with the Divine, prompting this article. One of my students for many years who had become a friend, almost made her transition after one round of chemotherapy that caused a thrombosis that nearly strangled her. Another student of years gone by, who also became a friend, suddenly made her transition after a very challenging year with bone cancer. She was a profound, joyous and brilliant being of Light. On the same day one of the most important men in my life was swiftly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and life threatening tumors running up and down his spine. Robert has been a profound mentor to me, at times when he didn't know it, at times when he made a point of it. If not for his tutelage many beautiful things in my life that has also touched the world would have had a much more challenging time coming to pass. He has made me laugh harder than most and has taught me (and teaches the world) everything one needs to know about Presence, letting your Life come to you, and authenticity. I felt myself almost stop breathing. What in the world was going on here? I stopped everything that I was doing, because I was unable to do anything, and went deep into the caverns of my inners, where the flame of the Divine waits for me, waits for all of us. I approached, as always, with reverence and with my one main question. "What do I need to know about this?" "Your soul is asking you to experience greater depths of love and acceptance, and of being present only to the moment at hand. Your personal journey into a more stabilized rendezvous with the Divine is well underway, as you begin to further dignify the miracle of Life. Your next step is at hand, prompted by the past several months of experience. You are unable to be distracted. Your attention has been gotten making you able to be fully present with what is, just as you were with the birds, the planet and all of humanity just last week. Please bring the same momentum of gratitude with you now. Gratitude is not mutually exclusive to pain. Separation of any sort is no longer acceptable in the bandwidths of energy you choose to abide in. Last week while riding the high waves, you felt love, you felt peace, you felt Oneness. You felt God. This moment calls for the same and reaches further into you for acceptance for what is. Your call for deepening is upon you. Seek nothing else. Apart from nature, the world external has been losing its sparkle for you for some time; let it be, for now. Walk further and further away from the illusion that lines the walls of a world that bears no illusion. Everything you will ever need is contained in the moment you are in. Did you know you can see the entire Universe in the present moment? Look carefully. Feel fully. Be present. Become a stranger to yourself. Take note of the silence of your mind, and the peace in your heart now that you are resting in Me and the present moment we share together. All is well. Answers to your quietly asked questions are arising in you, without effort, each time you go deeper into the stillness that lives in the Presence of the moment. Many of you are ready for a deepening of yourself in order that more of the Divine Descent may occur and the Presence and Acceptance of each Divine moment may impact you with all of its Life contained within it, as the past and the future melt into nothingness, for indeed neither contains Life. Your future, all of humanity's future is predicated on the present moment, and the Presence, love and acceptance each brings to it. Your authentic world will be filled with the wisdom of the moments, not the ages, but the moments. Receive each deeply; contemplate only with your heart and then in Divine consciousness move into the next moment. Should you feel impatient at the slowing speed of your life, be grateful, as you begin to realize what you have left unfinished. Mastery is no small feat. This year will ask nothing less of you than your full Presence, your Love and your Acceptance. Through each, you will make your journey home. You shall bring Heaven to Earth and attain enlightenment. There is no other way Beloveds, nor a year in which you will be more strongly supported. You will see opportunities appear at your every turn. Open your Divine eyes, and your Divine hearts. Lay down your resistances and interpretations. Be present. Let your mind rest. Enter a new game of existence. In this game, there is no loss. In this game there is a treasure; an exalted state of being that is intoxicating. Now you know the answer to your many 'why's.' Know you are being blessed, and know you are indeed a blessing."

Making a difference!
I love David's writing! And this piece reminds me that even if I haven't accomplished my "big" destiny yet, I am making a difference each day, if I choose to! And so can you!

My Christmas Wish for 2011!
| I am spending another Christmas alone! This is my 5th Christmas alone since my son decided to leave my life. I thought it would get easier, but it hasn't. I don't miss the frantic shopping and crazy need to find the perfect presents, even if it means going in debt to get them. But I do miss family and sharing the holidays with family. Things weren't always easy around my Mom, and holidays could have some tense moments, but I only spent two Christmas's apart from my Mom in the 48 years I had with her. She always brought my son and I home for Christmas or came to where we were and she always made Christmas special. But since she is gone now, and my son has left, it is just me. Over the past 5 years I have done what I could to attempt to celebrate the holiday, feeding the homeless one Christmas, watching a movie with a couple friends, walking in the snow, meditating, and I value those different experiences. I appreciate how this loss and aloneness has led me to go deeper into solstice and Christmas and find that spark of light within myself and my life, however it is at the moment. And I realize there are others all over the world who are alone this day...and certainly plenty of people surrounded by family and cursing it! There is a delicate balance in learning to accept what "is", find the gift in it all, allow change, and yet also allow and acknowledge the loss, the empty places, and to do it with grace. Without my sense of God, Christ and other beings of light supporting me through these times, I'm not sure how I would survive...but this light and love that I feel inside and surrounding me keeps me going, keeps me imagining a new life, a new way. It keeps me holding and nurturing this immaculate concept, this seed of hope that I maintain in myself for the world and for me. So my wish for Christmas 2011, is to feel joy, feel peace, no matter what else I am feeling today, to be able to swim the turbulence of grief and loss, and still express the love and sweetness that I am, and feel comforted. My wish is for a magical opening that returns family to me, but a family of honesty, honor, respect, continuity, commitment, forgiveness and deep love. These are values I base my life on, and have worked to expand in all areas of my life. No matter what has happened or what happens in the future, I know that love is the only truth and this is what I extend to my son, to the world, to myself. I wish for a world where everyone is respected, differences are embraced and celebrated, as we learn and grow and expand by creating a bigger opening to allow in others and their different ways. I wish for a world where everyone has a warm, comfortable home; clean and hot water; plenty of food to eat; meaningful work; a loving family, community, country and world where they feel welcomed, appreciated, safe and supported; a strong sense of their own divinity, self-worth and power to create the life and world of their dreams; a deep connection with Spirit in whatever form is comfortable for them; confidence to live their truth; peace within them and all around them; and much joy, magic and fun to lift them up. And so, I extend these wishes to all of you, and to myself! May we all find joy within no matter our circumstances and be able to extend that joy out to others. May we all find that peace within and send it out to each other, extending the olive branch to create peace everywhere.Love to you, |
Peace? What are you giving and receiving?
| As you read this, the US is still mired in wars in the Middle East and the question still remains for me, Peace? What are you giving and receiving? It has long been a belief, and a point of inquiry of mine, that what goes on within us is a microcosm of the greater reality reflected out into the world. And so, along with activism, I continue to look within to discover, embrace and heal those places within myself that are at war. It is my intention, inside and out, to do what I can to embody, give and receive peace in the world. In the ancient text, The Essence Gospel of Peace, it states “ Peace is the key to all knowledge, all mystery, all life.” 21 years ago I was living in a small Northern California coastal town. My neighborhood reminded me of the powerful novel SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION, by Ken Kesey. As I’d take my daily walks through the fogged in neighborhood, I ‘d pass sign after sign impaled in the yards stating, “We support the timber industry”. The small communities lining the coast embodied the timber/environmental clash so vividly described in that novel. Months before, I had been asked to be interviewed on a local women’s radio show. The topic I chose was “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing”. At the time, I was working as a massage therapist in a chiropractor’s office. One of my clients was a young man who had moved out from the south to make peace buttons for a local company. Although his job and his political activism spoke of peace, the extreme tension I felt in his body spoke of an ongoing inner war. I began to observe this dichotomy in myself and other clients, along with the already divided community. The day we declared war on Iraq ended up being the day of my interview. As war broke out in that country, war broke out in my town as the local mayor and city council declared the town a draft free zone. Opponents stormed the town hall, an enormous American flag was erected upon the approach to town, and all the yard signs were replaced with new ones stating “We support America”…and…. we’re on the air, welcome Katelon to discuss “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing.” I felt like I was in the twilight zone and all the mayhem further underscored this study of mine. There I was witnessing war in the body of this young man, opposing views and near riots in our town hall, SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION in my neighborhood and bombs dropping across the seas as a TV reporter stood next to a board drawing little x’s and o’s like a football play to explain the loss of life many countries away. Over the years I have continued to explore this theme as I work to release old limiting patterns of lack, illnesses, and aloneness in myself. Sometimes I am able to love what is here, or what I perceive to be lacking, embrace the lessons and provide the gift of peace to myself, as I open the space for healing to happen. Other times I am in the ring, working on my left hook, ready to punch out the offending lack of fruition, career struggle or another Saturday night spent alone. A few years ago this occasional fighting position was literally put in my face as I took a detour to work. I ended up driving past a 7th grade fistfight in the middle of the road. Because I haven’t seen a fist fight since my 7th grade year, I was left to ponder again Where am I at war in my own being, what am I fighting? Peace? What am I giving and receiving? As I examine this wrestling with my psyche I am seeing it on the outside again, too, as my neighbors, fellow countrymen/women and world members draw the lines and continue wars. One of the therapies I do is called, Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT). In this therapy, I work with a person’s high self to research and clear negative programs, conditioning, beliefs, etc. that are limiting the person and restricting the flow of good through their bodies, relationships and lives. This work is done using a pendulum, dowsing various charts and connecting with the person’s high self to research the soul’s records. Whatever needs to be cleared is then identified and with the assistance of the high self and spirit, it is cleared. The limiting energies are then replaced with positive ones, moving a person out of self-punishment and self-limitation. Relationships can be researched as well, clearing destructive patterns that can be limiting the relationship and the individuals. Christ referred to this high self as “the father within”. Hawaiian Huna refers to it as Aumakua or higher consciousness. What is seen so often in this work is how much people limit themselves through their thoughts and judgments brought forth from (depending upon your belief system), past lives, genetic codes, world energies, childhood experiences and the entire creative process in itself. A few years ago, a man called to ask me to use SRT to “GET RID” of a woman he is in business with. He explained how this woman was attempting to take over his business and he wanted her gone. I explained that I’m not a hit man but that I could work with his high self and spirit to clear them and their relationship, allowing for a new resolution. The work succeeded and the woman called him, with positive news and wanted to get together to find a healthy resolution they could both be comfortable with. Instead of rejoicing in this turn of events, he was so attached to his anger that he chided me for not getting rid of her. I felt saddened by his response, yet I was led to look at what I was just wanting to get rid of in my life, rather than be willing to negotiate with, forgive, and create a space for something new to appear? I had to look at where was I limiting myself? I inquired again, “Peace? What am I giving and receiving?” I watch in childlike awe each year as the days get shorter and shorter and darkness descends, leaving sunshine, that I so love, a memory. And yet, I attune to the surrender of the trees as they gently release their leaves, plants die and seeds are deposited deep in the soil to wait and rest until the light comes again. Most of the world religions celebrate this return of the light. I think of Mary, in the Christian tradition, as she gestated a child within, holding that immaculate concept for him as she faced many outer challenges. Certainly, she must have felt the urge to fight, the call to struggle or defend. I certainly did as I carried my son, and then went on to raise him alone through all the challenges we faced. Don’t we all, whether we are carrying a child, a dream or concept? And, yet, each of us can carry this immaculate concept for our children, our dreams and desires. Each of us can carry that seed of peace and continue to hold it in our hearts for the world and ourselves. The days may be dark, the world may talk of war and torture and try to keep us focused on fear and our desires/dreams/challenges may threaten to pull us into an inner or outer war and yet there are methods and therapies that we can use to release this inner negativity and replace it with harmony. I do believe that we have the power within us to return to love, just as yearly the days grow longer and the light returns. I do feel that each step we take toward negotiation, dialogue, healing and bridge building within ourselves, our families, our communities, does reach out and effect global change. So, I encourage you to ask yourselves, “Peace? What are you giving and receiving?”
