Story of Illumination

by Julie A. Hoyle -

THE DESCENT OF GRACE:

Grace finds us always, even if we don’t realize we are seeking. The practices of diverse spiritual paths, faiths and traditions came to me unbidden, entering my life dramatically in February 1989, through an unexpected awakening of spirit.

The source of that awakening was an extraordinary Indian Saint, Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri. For a young, western, Catholic woman, this event was so firmly rooted outside the spectrum of my life experiences, it had the imprint of a miracle, yet it also felt completely natural.

At the time, my husband and I were living in Nassau the capital island-city of the Bahamas.

Having both been raised in the temperate weather of England, we were loving the warmth and beauty of our new tropical home, yet despite living in what many perceive as paradise, under the surface, I was unhappy. I was plagued with a chronic back problem that was not responding to orthodox medical treatment.

Desperate to try anything to alleviate physical pain, I said, “Yes” when invited to a nearby meditation centre. What I did not realize at the time was though I was seeking physical relief; there was an inner pain deeper than tissue and bone.

After just three visits to the centre, I went home one night and had a conscious dream. 

In the dream, I entered a hall, to find a dark -skinned Indian man sitting on a wooden platform.

He looked like a Buddha, with a big round belly, wearing only a white loincloth. On seeing him, I absolutely knew I was in the company of a great Saint; a Being who was merged with the Infinite. And I immediately knew, I had been seeking Him always.

I was instructed to, “Lie in corpse pose- relax- breath slowly and deeply and repeat the mantra, Om Namah Shivaya- I bow to the Lord within me.” 

Doing as I was told, I suddenly felt a light tap on the top of my head. With that touch, a very powerful energy began pulsating from the point that had been tapped, through the crown and down into my body. Then every cell began vibrating and producing intense heat.

My body began floating upwards. Repeating the mantra, I focused on the ingoing and outgoing breath until I could bear the heat no more. A distinct feeling of nausea began to rise up and with that, I crashed to the floor continuing downward falling through time and space.

With a jerking thud, I entered my sleeping body through the chest. Like a waking corpse, I sat up violently exhaling “Huuuhhhhhh”, so loudly my husband woke. Alarmed, he jumped up asking, “What happened?” Not completely awake or adjusted to my surroundings, I responded, “I don’t know, but my life will never be the same again.”

That response proved to be true. Nityananda’s touch initiated a desire for meditation and spiritual practices that has served to shape the entire course of my life.

Grace immediately began to enter like a flood, breaking down doors and windows, turning my world upside down and inside out. 

Over time, everything not aligned with spirit fell away leaving me wide-eyed with wonder as new perceptions and levels of awareness established themselves within my being.

From the beginning, remembrance of  “Om Namah Shivaya.” potently rose up in dreams, bringing me to lucid awareness. Traveling through light-filled worlds, I found myself in the ecstatic company of Saints, Shamans and Enlightened Teachers from diverse traditions.

Although I had never studied Buddhism, many times the Dalai Lama walked into dreams in order to give teachings, once happily telling me, “They have made it so that you can do anything you want to do in this life.” And Swami Ram Tirth, a Saint I had never studied anything of, entered a dream, lifted his thumb and stated, “I can give initiation. Would you like?”

The lucid dream state has also carried me to worlds inhabited by South American Shamans.

In one, I found myself in a jungle like setting, swimming with joy as a Teacher approached. Lighting a fire, he told me I was to undertake an ‘Initiation of Fire.’ 

Holding on to the mantra like a lifeline, I entered the flames. As the body was consumed, a powerful inner energy was released, beginning at the base of the spine and thrusting its way up through the centre of the body, exiting at the crown.

Watching, the energy formed into a huge black crow, hovered above my head and then flew away in a cascade of fiery light. With that, two female shamans appeared telling me, “You have passed the test and have been graced with the energy of the Crow.”

My expanded inner world has also become dramatically reflected in the outer. 

I have found my natural environment offering messages whenever I need inner guidance or inspiration. Once in meditation, a beautiful dark eyed deer appeared telling me, “I am coming to see you soon.”

Initially, I pondered how this could be possible on a semi-tropical island.

However, two weeks later, while taking part in a work-study programme at a Benedictine University in Minnesota I took a walk through a park and was astonished to see the same beautiful deer standing before me, close enough to see and feel her breath.

She stood right across my path looking deep into my eyes. With her two fawns, we gazed at one another with reverence and love, and I instinctively knew the message she was bringing was one of gentleness and compassion.

In her, I was able to vividly see the embodiment of the qualities I most wish to express in my writing and my teaching.

As the journey into my interior has continued, I have had to face the deepest, darkest places within myself. I have been forced to embrace what has most terrified me. And, I have bathed in the most exquisite outpouring of love and blessings.

The grace of Nityananda has included all faiths, all paths, all belief systems and all conditions of the heart. He has held a mirror up and said,

“You see. Here is your own Higher Self and here, and here. All are One. There is nothing more that needs to be known. There is only God in all forms and all faces. This is the Truth. Own it!”

This is your truth too. 

In whatever way grace has appeared in your life in order to reveal the magnificence of your own light, it is your perfect reflection. Sooner or later, we are compelled to follow the light, until we are completely transformed.

Our purpose at this time of transition and ascension is to become the perfect offering, until all that’s left is light, blazing the way for those who may not know they are seeking.

Make Peace With Your Past and Heal Instantly

by Lillian Moritz -

In readings and energy sessions with my clients, I often get new ideas for helping individuals heal from age-old emotional wounds or traumas that continue to spark pain and anguish.

My work with Ancestral Healings(1) has gone a long way toward addressing the psychic and emotional pain many clients have and transmuting it into acceptance, resolution and newfound peace.

Sometimes this powerful ancestral process is not what's called for and the Guides show us a different pathway to take - one that brings about energetic clearing and a renewed state of balance and inner harmony in an equally profound and sometimes surprising way.

One of the new processes shown to me involves communicating with your essence self or Higher Self, either in an earlier part of your life or in a past life.

In these sessions, I serve as the conduit for bringing through the voice, feelings and perspective of my client - either as an infant or young child in this life or who the client was in a previous lifetime.

In some ways the process resembles a past life regression, but is more powerful. 

This process doesn't require the client to step back in time; rather, that responsibility and honor are placed on my shoulders.

With the able help of the Guides, I embrace aspects of my client's essence self so that he/she can have a real-time conversation with himself/herself - that is, with her Higher Self from an earlier period of time, either in this lifetime or a past life.

Let me give you a couple of examples from real life cases with my clients. 

Victoria (not her real name) was born into a wealthy family and had the good fortune to experience what many would call a charmed life - from outward appearances, at least.

What people didn't know, though, was that at the tender age of 18 months, Victoria's parents took her to live with an aunt, while her parents worked out crucial issues in their lives and their marriage.

Despite the fact that Victoria was merely a year and a half old at the time, her perception of the world around her was clear and vividly alive. Feeling that she had been 'abandoned' by her parents left deep emotional scars.

In her adult life, after years of doing excellent inner work - including classical therapy and groundbreaking spiritual/metaphysical/energy approaches - Victoria continued to feel held back by a sense of abandonment.

Understandably, she traced back these feelings to the unforgettable experience of being left with a surrogate family, one she barely knew at the time. And in hearing this, the Guides immediately suggested that we get in touch with that little girl who was left behind. But how?

From an altered state of consciousness I am able to make contact with people's Higher Selves.

So after getting into a deep meditative place, I asked for the presence of Victoria's Higher Self to join us and also requested to connect with little Victoria - age 18 months. Since from my perspective, all time is one, this is possible.

Within a matter of moments, I felt, 'saw' and 'heard' a very young voice whisper to me - "Who are you?" I immediately described the beautiful little girl I was 'seeing' with my 3rd eye to Victoria and she confirmed that the toddler was, in fact, the spitting image of herself at that young age, based on photos she had seen of her early childhood.

The conversation that took place between 'little' Victoria and the 'present' Victoria from that moment forward was nothing short of miraculous.

Using my voice box, I full-body-channeled little Victoria and she shared what it was like when her parents "dropped her" at her aunt's house - essentially like being left with a stranger.

The baby's cries to her mother, begging her not to leave her, were heart wrenching. Feelings of imminent death filled every cell of my being as I full-body-channeled this frightened, distraught baby girl.

Perhaps more amazing was the incredible dialogue that took place between the adult Victoria - a brilliant, youthful, energetic 65-year old woman - and her 18-month old essence self - a meek, terrified, crying-out-to-be-heard little girl. Baby Victoria looked up at Victoria through my eyes and asked her who she was: "Are you my mother?" adding, softly, "I wish you were my mother, you're so kind. You have such a kind, gentle voice."

Victoria and her 18-month old essence self were able to converse with each other and, in so doing, touch each other's hearts and souls.

The crying that sprang forth from each of their loving eyes was palpable and cathartic - a letting go of the agony of being left behind without her mother or father to nurture her, of not knowing what she had done so wrong to deserve this shocking and painful abandonment and of being torn away again, this time months later when her parents came back to retrieve little Victoria after she had bonded with her surrogate family.

Blinding confusion, self-recrimination and despair were expressed in sobs-from-the-heart and child-like words by baby Victoria; and were immediately soothed and bathed in loving kindness and armfuls of compassion by Victoria, the woman.

At the end of this heart-healing exchange, little Victoria expressed her love and appreciation to her adult counterpart, envisioned as an angel-like mother, along with a desire to stay connected.

Needless to say, my client, Victoria, was profoundly moved by the experience, as was I, and felt an enormous release - as if the trauma of the abandonment, some six decades earlier, had finally shifted and morphed into a space of understanding and well-deserved liberation.

Over the next several days, Victoria the woman continued to feel the lightness of this once in a lifetime exchange and watched as areas in her life started to open up and flow more freely - capping an emotional dream come true.

Although trauma from early life or a past life, is most commonly experienced in present time as issues that are emotional in nature, sometimes they impact the physical body as well.

Another client, Bernardo (not his real name), was clearly disturbed about a skin rash that would simply not go away.

Try as he might, he was unsuccessful at clearing up the appearance of rough, scaly skin patches on his arms and back, and then some eczema appeared on his face.

Naturally, he was self-conscious about this, and being in the fashion industry only added to his distress.

When we started his session, the Guides promptly showed me a past life of Bernardo's in which he was ostracized for having a disorder of some kind. But without going into a deep meditative state, I was unable to fully decipher the image I was being shown, or the specific message for him.

After calling in Bernardo's Higher Self, the Guides had me call in the essence self of Bernardo from four lifetimes ago.

Again, since all time is one from my perspective, and past and present merge or overlap into a holistic time frame, it was if I was looking at a mirror image resemblance of Bernardo - who he is today in Spain and who he was in France some 500 years ago.

Within moments, the essence of Bernardo's past life came through to talk with Bernardo today - two aspects of Bernardo's Higher Self were able to communicate with each other in the present time frame. And what transpired next took my breath away.

Bernardo in that previous life - four lifetimes ago - was named Pierre. Pierre was a good looking, prosperous young man who enjoyed the company of others, especially women. He was well respected, somewhat of an authority in his town. Then one fateful day he noticed a scarring on certain parts of his body and knew immediately what had happened. He had contracted a dreaded disease - leprosy - for which there was no known cure at the time.

Shocked and anguished by this horrific observation, Pierre made his way to the town's priest who silently and gently escorted him to a cloistered area far beyond the outskirts of the village where those afflicted with leprosy were gathered to fend for themselves, as best they could.

Pierre's worst nightmare had become a reality. Here he was amongst deformed and scarred individuals, many of whom he could barely look at, much less have empathy for. And yet he realized he was one of them.

The shame and self-disgust he felt were numbing. There would be no more physical comfort from family, much less from beautiful women who had poured their favors onto him without hesitation before now. Pierre's life as he knew it was over.

As Pierre recounted the shock and horror of his life in the leper colony, Bernardo cried out to him, streaming love and compassion to Pierre.

Pierre's inability to look at himself in a puddle of water was in many ways a mirror reflection of Bernardo's distaste for his own appearance, marred by an unruly skin rash that would simply not go away.

That is, until his life-transforming encounter with Pierre - a heartfelt conversation with this past life expression of himself.

As Pierre relayed the only comforting moments of his exiled life to Bernardo, when the town's priest would come to visit and hold him gently in his fatherly arms, Bernardo wept for both aspects of himself - the man he was today and the shadow of a man that he was in this past life.

After exchanging deep feelings of love, compassion, gratitude and forgiveness for each other, the men felt at peace. I was then guided to facilitate a disconnecting of energetic cords that linked Bernardo with Pierre which were no longer in Bernardo's highest good.

With care and respect, the two aspects of Bernardo's Higher Self parted with loving feelings and a clear sense of release, resolution and freedom between them.

As you can well imagine, it was a very powerful session, one that neither Bernardo nor I will soon forget. And, of course, Bernardo's last question was, "Will my skin get better now?" The Guides smiled broadly. I clearly saw them nod 'Yes' in unison.

Within a couple of days, the chronic skin issue that had been plaguing Bernardo for months started to dissipate. Yet, when he had moments of fear surrounding the way he looked, a small recurrence of the skin rash set in again.

In response, the Guides directed Bernardo to re-enter or recreate the feelings of energy and love from his encounter with Pierre, and to project himself back into the forgiveness ceremony that he and Pierre had experienced together.

Shortly after doing this, Bernardo's skin began to clear up again and the 'problem' has not recurred. This was a telling confirmation to Bernardo that he had truly made peace with his concerns about physical appearance at the soul level.

Today Bernardo's skin is as soft and supple as a young boy's, and he often thinks of Pierre with kindness, respect and deep gratitude.

As these two real life examples illustrate, issues that we are currently dealing with often have solid roots in our early life, or in a past life of which we may have no conscious awareness. 

Through helping to facilitate healing and energy shifts for a large number of people around the globe, I have learned that there is no singular or universal approach that works for every person or every situation.

Each of us is a unique individual with a unique set of circumstances and lessons to learn in this life. Yet, there are certainly commonalities - they are simply expressed or played out differently in each of us.

It never ceases to amaze me how much I learn from my clients and my Guides, picking up a new gem of insight in virtually every session I conduct.

Being in a state of gratitude and staying open to receiving fresh guidance has created a rich, fertile environment for accessing effective, sometimes innovative approaches.

From this receptive state of openness and trust, I have been able to assist clients overcome enduring challenges and transform relentless struggle into free-flowing feelings of peace and liberation.

(1) Ancestral Healing is based on an awareness that we are impacted by emotional and energetic patterns from prior generations within our family. Accordingly, any unresolved conflict or unhealed emotional wounds of our ancestors may be present within our energetic grid, since this is part of the larger energy pattern of our entire family. Ancestral healing involves healing our ancestors' unresolved emotional issues, problems or trauma and thereby releasing us from any energetic patterns that link us to them - patterns that can have an inhibiting or disruptive influence on our life today.

Navigating Multi-Dimensional Reality

TOOLS FOR A NEW WAY OF LIVING:

by Celia Fenn -

As we go through this process of transition and ascension, we are switching on our light bodies and ascending into new ways of living and being.

We are becoming multi-dimensional and capable of functioning at higher frequencies of conscious awareness. As we break through to these new levels, many of us are finding ourselves without the tools for managing the very real physical and emotional effects that are a daily part of the break-through into multi-dimensional living.

The Heart is the Key 

In a very real sense, the Heart Chakra is the key and the gateway to multi-dimensionality. If the heart is not open, you will not be able to ascend to higher levels of consciousness. 

The three keys to opening the Heart Chakra:

1) FOLLOW YOUR PASSION: 

Nothing locks us out of the sparkling dance of light found at the higher dimensions more effectively than habitually following a way of life because we have always done so, or because it is expected of us. 

When we are truly free, we are able to comprehend our freedom and to choose to express ourselves in ways that resonate with who we truly are. 

Because so many of us are living "habitual" lives, we often need to take time out to discover what our passions are, before we can follow them. This is why so many people are "dropping out" of careers and taking time to re-define who they are and how they live. The New Earth will be filled with passionate people creating joy! But this takes time, and we need to give ourselves all the time we need to find our passions and our joy and to heal the wounds that prevent us from being our essential passionate self. 

2) LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE/ INTUITION: 

I often think that this is the true meaning of the concept of the "return of the Goddess"/ the feminine energy. In our "old energy" lives, we were taught to listen to our ego, to the rational voice of the "parent". This voice told us to disregard our joy and conform to what was expected of us, in order to "fit in" and be safe. 

Ironically, when we listen to the inner voice of the Higher Self, we are always safe. But we have to re-learn this skill and the trust in this skill.  

It is only when we allow our inner voice to be our guide, that the miracles will happen. The Inner Voice is the Goddess within. Allow her to lead, and she will show you the dance of light. And then your ego/rational self can build the structures to support your new reality. 

To do this we need to be aware of the "cues" from higher reality, for our higher aspects will talk to us in dreams, through other people, books, animals or events in our lives. We need to start "reading the messages" again. Being consciously aware of the "ripples" in our reality that have information or messages for us. 

3) PRACTICE COMPASSION, TOLERANCE AND UNDERSTANDING: 

Those with open hearts are always willing to listen to others and understand that others are a "mirror" of our current reality. If we can move pass anger, distrust and aggression, into a place of empathy and understanding, we will truly open the Heart Chakra. 

The key is to understand that the "other" person is an aspect of you and your reality. And that how you manage and re-act to other people is a mirror of how you treat yourself and your reality.  

If you are able to treat yourself with nurturing love and compassion, only then will you be able to treat others in the same way. So, be kind to yourself and the rest will follow.

Speaking your Truth : The Ladder to the Stars

Speaking our truth is the function of a healthy Throat Chakra. And this is our "ladder" to higher dimensions. It will allow us to ascend and descend to higher states of consciousness. And it will create a link between the higher frequencies and our Material Reality.

Often the mood swings and mental spaciness that transitioning people feel, is a result of rapid shifts between dimensions where there is no ladder. 

We literally "fall" between dimensions and feel exhausted and disorientated. So building a ladder that can take us up and bring us down is important.

This also relates to the concept of "grounding" multi-dimensional reality. If we do not "ground" ourselves, we can become lost in a dream world that has no way of linking to the material world. The Throat Chakra creates the fifth-dimensional bridge that we need.

The two key concepts here are:

1) EMOTIONAL HONESTY AND OPENESS:  

Be willing to express your feelings. All of them. No manipulative games and hidden agendas. As we become more in touch with our feelings and our Heart Chakras open fully it will be impossible to play manipulative games anyway. 

People will intuitively understand the motivations of others without them ever needing to be expressed. 

Linked to this is self-awareness.We need to be aware of our subconscious patterns of manipulation and control and be willing to release them for more healthy patterns of acceptance and flow. 

To be willing to allow the miracle of life to unfold without needing to control and force our expectations on others or on events. 

2) RECEIVING THE TRUTH OF OTHERS:  

It is equally important, when building this ladder, to be able to receive the truth of others without judgement. To truly listen, which is the receptive or feminine aspect of the act of speaking. 

For this ladder is one that we cannot build alone. It is a co-creation project.  

We build it for ourselves but we invite others to share it and in turn to build ladders for others. In this way we are enabled to reach to ever higher levels of consciousness as a group, which is The Path of Conscious Evolution.

The Fires of Alchemy

by Shirlee Hall -

Your sense of anticipation, your desire to set things aright, your pace of unending activity will all come to a point, a point of sweet realization.

Satisfaction is knowing and Being who you truly are. No longer will you wear the mantle of confusion and distress. No longer will you be adorned in loneliness or pain. You will have a new mantle to wear; a mantle of beauty recognizable by its cosmic vibration.

You have passed through the fires of alchemy. You are fast approaching the still waters of understanding. Be at peace for we are with you always. You are now prepared for a different form of battle. One that you know well; the battle of the soul.

You will lead as a front army of Light Beings drawing unto you the downtrodden and asleep. You will spark the Divine Fire within the breast of those who remain hypnotized, unillumined and bring great joy and understanding to the hearts of many.

 You will do the Great Work in total confidence with the knowing that only comes through the enlightenment gained through preparation. You will be given that which is best for your own particular Self to create and use. You will be given a new armor that is unapproachable except through love.

You will be love in action, love in form and love unconditional. You will know when your moment of changing mantle occurs. You will feel a lightness, a joy within your heart, a knowing that is Divine, and a love that transcends description.

When this newness clothes you in Its splendor, you will have arrived as a true son or daughter of God. The world lies in your holy hands. You are the Blessed Ones, the Ones who have chosen to BE. Be at peace and know we love you.

Messengers of Light

by Patsy Gagnon - 

Angels or Messengers of love and light do not live on white puffy clouds but be reassured they do come into our lives to help and guide us. Many people from all walks of life have told stories of their experiences from these unseen helpers.

What are angels? 

They have been in our books for centuries. Hollywood has portrayed them, poets and writers have written about them. Artists have painted them. Who are they and why are they here? They are more than a great imagination. They are real. They have come into many ordinary people’s lives and have changed them for the good.

There are many different angels written about. Some are from the highest vibration and look after Global affairs. Some are in charge of the Animal Kingdom. Some angels look after the Plant Kingdom. Every living thing has brought angels here to look after them on Planet Earth. 

The angels from the highest vibration have never incarnated on earth but are here for us if we call on them. We come here with guardian angels. They are assigned to us with the agreement to help us with difficult times in our lives to get us through.

Even though we may not believe or are aware of them they will never leave us. 

They patiently await for our instructions to assist us. Angels are particularly evident when we are in trouble or in life and death situations. This is usually when people talk of unseen help.

I myself have experienced this unseen help several times in my life during trauma and very dangerous situations I found myself in. I never understood what had just happened at that time.

Angels are here for us everyday people. 

Call them energy or inspiration. It has been reported that angels sometime come in solid form as you and I. Then to vanish in thin air right in front of their eyes.

It makes no difference what you call them they are with us always. Angels are waiting to help us. They are waiting for the invitation to assist us with their divine presence.

Anyone can connect with their angels. 

Invite them in your life and create a lasting bond with them. The moment you establish a connection with your angels they take root in your consciousness. Establishing a personal connection with your angels is a very simple process. Believing in angels is an option. 

Just allow yourself to be open to your angels and notice all the wonderful happenings around your from your angels presence. Then there is no need to believe you will simply know they are real.

People communicate with their angels in many different ways. 

Some people write letters, some talk with them as if they were a friend in the room with them.(Because they are!) After you have made contact and have the connection with your angels you will want to communicate with them in your own way.

When your angels communicate back you may get an inspirational message of something that you were wondering about, or you may hear a song on the radio answering your question. You may hear something in your mind or a voice outside of yourself.

Basically angel’s language usually consists of colors, symbols, sounds and feelings. 

Once you have made the connection with them you will soon learn when it is your angels communicating. Once you have taken that first step you will be happy you did because you have opened the door to more greatness and fulfillment in your life!

Listening for Spirit Guides and Angels

by Norma Gentile -

Do you hear your guides or angels sing to you? Most of us would answer 'no'.

Have you noticed tones, either low or high pitched, in one ear but not the other? Or ringing that seems to come from inside your ears?

Try this simple process. 

As you are reading, notice any three sounds in the background - traffic, a TV or radio, conversation, birds...anything within earshot. Now listen underneath these audible sounds.

Start by noticing what the sound is like right next to you, at the entrance to your ears. 

• What do you hear or even feel? 

• Does your sense of your body change? 

• Now listen to what you are hearing inside of your ears. 

• Is the sound or the silence the same inside the right ear as the left ear or different?

• Finally bring your attention to the point between your ears, in the center of your head. 

What changes do you notice in what you hear, how your body feels, or your overall quality of attention?

Since you have started reading this article, do you have a keener awareness of the sounds around you? Is your body finding this increased awareness relaxing, or are you growing more irritated by these background sounds?

Here is a perfect example of how the external world affects us in a constant and ongoing fashion.

Equivalently, we often react to circumstances based on the way they are making us feel, rather than based on how we would like them to feel.

Simply put, we react to external stimuli, rather than act upon internal guidance. Listening to the outer world, we found a variety of sounds moving through our bodies as well as our ears. 

What about the inner world? 

Focusing on the sounds or qualities of silence present in ourselves provides us with a reference point for our own spiritual self.

What you give your attention to grows. 

As you give your attention to the inner silence or tones, you consciously affirm your connection with those guides and angels that dwell with you.

These sounds or even silences, are the bridges that span the dimensions between worlds.

Now put this into action. 

Bring your attention to the point within or near your ears that seemed the most active for you. Address the sound or silence as you would a new aquaintance, with respect and a bit a curiosity. 

Ask the sound or silence for one thing it would like to convey to you. Chances are it will be a simple, yet important idea.

The information might also be given to you as a color, a smell, or even a momentary sensation of warmth or motion.

After receiving the message, thank the sound or silence for its generosity and all that it has given you. 

Suggest that it move on to wherever it needs to go to now for its own continued evolutionary growth. Take a moment to see it leave, moving into the Earth, the Sun or perhaps out into the Universe.

Now how does the area of your ears feel? Does your body overall feel different? Did you release some energy in a sigh, large breath or yawn?

By noticing any changes, you give yourself greater permission to do this again - afterall - something happened!

Guides and angels often are perceived as tones or qualities of silence inside of the ears. Sometimes tinitus or ringing in the ears is caused by the presence of these beings too close to the physical body.

Guides do not have bodies and it is up to us, as physical beings to let them know when we are uncomfortable with the way they are connecting to us.

By bringing your attention to the tone, you are in essence 'dialing' the guide's 'phone number'. 

By thanking them and asking them to leave, you are telling them (and yourself) to be sure to 'hang up' after the conversation.

When you take private time for prayer or meditation, try listening not only to the music you enjoy of the external world but to the inner world also.

Cosmic Nudge

by Cathy Olsen -

You are indeed being pushed, prodded as it were in this transformational time on your planet. We nudge you into action. For you have made an agreement to participate largely in the birthing of the expanded human species and the planet herself.

You have been encoded with frequencies of light which are now being stimulated, causing you to rouse from the slumberous realms of this earthly existence. 

For it is time to wake, time to engage with and open more fully to the light that now permeates your being.

This light is a source of truth and wisdom which awakens in you the memories of times past, and the skills which you have brought forth into this existence in time. The expertise which you can provide is needed in service to the great awakening of humankind.

We urge you to open to Source. 

We urge you to let go of fear and the lesser dramas which would keep you focused on shadows instead of light.

For within the depths of your being, the light of Source shines as brightly as a thousand suns, and its brilliance beckons your human vessel to expand its edges so as to take on expanded levels of light.

For your physical body is as a container, a ‘houser’ of light and love, and as you clear from past dramas and foundations of old, you increase your capacity to hold more light.

Never before has there been such potential on your planet for the human component to merge with the light of expanded being.

What a sight to behold, the gift that humanity now brings to the unity of the cosmos. We of the higher realms have been watching and waiting, all the while holding to the hope that you would indeed awaken to the truth of your divine heritage. 

For the time of transformation is at hand. Humanity is now afforded the opportunity to transcend the life of limitation and shadow, moving into the dimensions of light.

We applaud your efforts to the cause of freedom. 

We support your continued expansion. All possibility lies before you at this time. The choice to respond to the ‘cosmic nudge’ is ultimately yours, but we prod you into consciousness and mission. 

For the child of earth will now come to be the child of eternity. 

The earth herself has labored in love through time, providing the womb of future creation. Her time has come.

Support her and her children as they awaken. Remind them not to give in to fear, but to remain centered in love, as the truth inherent in the transition dawns upon them.

Inner Guidance Tips

by Wendy Betterini - 

When we begin to feel lost or confused about various aspects of our lives, our first instinct is to search for direction.

We feel sure that the answers we need are out there somewhere and finding them will help us to know the right way to turn.

While seeking advice and guidance from others can be helpful at times, it is not always the best way to help ourselves.

Rather than relying on someone else to tell us our truth, we can instead choose to look within and find the answers inside ourselves. Each of us has been given the gift of an inner advisor that will never steer us wrong.

This inner advisor is not pushy, however. He or she will not speak up unless we ask for help.

When we finally open our hearts and minds to hear what our inner advisor has to say, the wisdom will begin to flow freely and our lives will begin to change for the better.

How do we tap this wealth of wisdom?

Is there a request form we need to fill out somewhere?  

No, it's even easier than that, thank goodness. 

Following are tips to help you connect with your inner guidance and use it to create your best life:

INNER GUIDANCE TIPS

1) Create a Harmonious Forum 

Our inner guidance flourishes in peaceful, quiet surroundings. If you've got a lot of noise and chaos around you, you won't be able to tap in and hear the wisdom waiting for you.

Try to find a quiet place that you can relax in. You can also surround yourself with beauty by bringing in some fresh flowers, scented candles or incense, or even some soothing artwork. Whatever will help put you in a calm, peaceful mood.

2) Turn Within 

If you're not a regular meditator, this can be tricky at first. You might wonder what the heck you're supposed to be turning ">toward," or focusing on.

The answer is simple: nothing. Focus on nothing. Simply close your eyes and turn your attention inward, to the silence within you. Random thoughts will probably keep popping in, but gently push them back out and return your attention to the silence.

3) Listen for Wisdom 

If you've got a specific situation you're struggling with, this would be a good time to think about it. Try to do so without judgment and without trying to come to any conclusions.

Just ponder the issue and practice acceptance for what it is at this moment. Then ask yourself, "What would be the best course of action for me at this time?" Consider the possibilities before you and think about how each one makes you feel.

Most often, you will notice a difference between something that feels right, and something that feels wrong.

4) Let the Solution Materialize 

If you don't receive any insights initially, put the issue aside for awhile. By going through this process, you've already tapped into your inner guidance and asked for help.

Even if the answer doesn't appear immediately, it will eventually. And in my experience, it doesn't take long! Just make an effort to stay open to the answer when it arrives.

It will usually arrive in a flash of inspiration or insight that makes you say, "Ah ha!" Or perhaps it will be more along the lines of a subtle gut feeling, where you just know that one particular course of action "feels" right.

5) Act from the Heart 

Once you know what you need to do, act with confidence. Don't let worries or fears hold you back. Believe that your inner guidance knows what's best for you, and move forward with courage.

Remember that there are truly no right or wrong paths in life, only experiences that we can learn from. By at least examining your options and considering which path is right for you at this time, you are making a wiser decision than you would otherwise.

At all times, strive to be your own master. There is nothing wrong with seeking knowledge and insight from others but you aren't bound to mindlessly follow where they lead, either. You have the ability to find your own way and decide what's best for you.  

In your quest for knowledge, you will come across information that feels right to you and information that doesn't seem to make sense. Use discernment and understand that there are many truths. You just have to find yours.

Multi-Dimensional Beings, Guides, Angels, etc.

by Ethan Vorly -

All beings are multi-dimensional including humans. 

Our problem is that we have forgotten our multi-dimensional nature and have been disconnected from much of ourselves. The variety of beings out there which you will become aware of through awakening your third eye and spiritual transformation is truly amazing.

From nature spirits to angels to Extraterrestrials to huge beings maintaining the dimensions to the tiny beings in particles, there are beings everywhere. 

An explanation of the infinite variety of beings in existence is beyond the scope of any book as it is truly infinite. By awakening your spiritual senses you will inevitably become aware of many different beings and you will be able to communicate directly with them.

The communication used is telepathic although sometimes you may actually hear words. Generally telepathy involves the transmission of feelings which the receiver can then put into words much like a translation. 

There will always be information lost in translation just like when trying to explain to someone an experience you have had. Can they ever really know how you felt by your description alone? Can you know the taste of a piece of fruit by a description? You may get some idea but you can never know until you taste it. Indeed even with friends, loved ones and others here on earth telepathic communication could rid the world of so many misunderstandings.

When communicating with beings in other dimensions it is sometimes a good idea to save the translation for later. 

While communicating simply use the means available and wait until the end to try to put things into words. Telepathy and inter-dimensional communication is based on feelings. The reason most cannot communicate in this way is that they are not in touch with their feelings.

There are some beings that are working with humans here on earth who are helping with our spiritual transformation. These include Guides, Angels and Extra-Terrestrials. There are other beings that can and do interact with us but these are the main ones that you will be in contact with and who will be helping with your spiritual awakening. For this reason I will give a brief description of these three types of beings.

Guides

Guides are usually other beings who have incarnated as humans before. They are just like us accept they are not incarnated while they are your guide. They may or may not incarnate again on earth but generally they have incarnated at least once before. They are fit to help guide you because they know what it is like to be here and they are not currently incarnated.

They are essentially residing in their light body in higher dimensions and so they have a much broader view of reality. They are not distorted by the astral body and chitta so they can communicate with many levels, beings and dimensions clearly and with ease.

They have agreed to help guide you from the other side for this life. They are in contact with your own higher self and they know your purpose for incarnating on earth. They know a lot about you and your future and will help in whatever way they can for your highest good.

However they cannot help you if you do not want them to or if what you ask is against your higher self's purpose. All beings in higher dimensions respect your free will and it is a rule that they may not impinge upon it. If you ask them to help you they will certainly do all that they can (as long as what you ask for is within your highest good).

Angels

Angels are from higher dimensions and do not incarnate into matter. They are like creator’s messengers and healers. They will always come when asked and help to heal you and send you love. As they come from higher dimensions of love and light they are unable to really feel and understand what it is to be human.

They can send us love and healing and help to guide us through certain periods of life. They are essential when it comes to spiritual work as they send vital light and love to help heal our energy bodies, activate the Light body and repair its structures. Without their help spiritual transformation would be extremely slow if possible at all.

There are different types of angels with specific tasks. 

For example a certain group of angels play a huge role in pregnancy and birth. If you tune into a pregnant woman with your third eye you will see and feel a huge amount of gold light around her which is the light of these angels. Incarnation into matter is a very hard process for the incoming spirit and these angels are vital for the process.

In the last 20 years a huge number of angels and other beings have begun to help with our spiritual awakening and transformation. Prior to this it was far more difficult to make real progress as the energies needed to transform and activate our energy bodies were not here for us. 20 years ago it was extremely hard for an experienced meditator to have a past life experience. They would have to meditate away from the city for days and have the help of a connector before an experience could occur.

Now with the help of so many angels and other beings it has become very easy for even a total beginner to have a past life experience first go. All that is needed are the simple techniques revealed in Past Life - Regression.

Through your practices you will quickly become aware of the presence of angels around you and you will be able to connect with them and communicate at any time. They are truly amazing beings...

Extra Terrestrials

Extra Terrestrials are any beings incarnated in the 1st to the 9th dimension that come from a planet other than Earth. There is an amazing variety of life in this universe and the number of life forms is nothing short of miraculous. There are civilizations and cultures living on and within many planets all over the universe. They come in all shapes and sizes such as insect like giants, dolphins or other humanoid beings. In all of the 9 material dimensions there is a birth and death experience as a being incarnates into the life form and eventually leaves.

In higher dimensions it is not uncommon for beings to live for thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands. On these planets and in the dimensions inhabited by such long lived beings you would find places of amazing harmony and spiritual knowledge. To us these worlds would seem like heaven and in a sense they are. In fact compared to our lives on earth almost the entire universe is heaven from a dualistic point of view.

It is quite possible for humans to incarnate on other planets in between lives on earth. It is also possible for ET's to incarnate here for a life and this has occurred many times throughout history. However there is a group of beings who make up the human race and these are the ones who make up the vast majority of people here.

Some people who have recently incarnated on other planets may have strange memories of such a place and know very well that it was another planet. They may be able to telepathically connect with beings from the other planet or may be visited in dreams by these beings. It is not just the angels and guides that are helping us but also many ET's from many different planets and dimensions. The connections formed through a few of us having lives on other planets were to help ground some of the forces from various planets and dimensions onto earth.

There are many ET's around earth at the moment in various spaceships and the like. Many are in higher dimensions and so cannot be seen but there are also ships that can become third dimensional. These ET's are mostly here to help us to shift into the 4th dimension and to see what has been happening here.

We have been involved in something never tried before and the results will affect the entire universe (see A New Mythology). So we have aliens all around us and many of you will have connections with certain groups. These groups are here to help us and use what they know about healing to help heal our subtle bodies. During meditation and sleep you may be visited by various ET's, they will help heal you and speed up your spiritual transformation.

Although most ET's are good and are here to help us there are some that are not good. If an ET comes to you and you are not sure about its intensions simply ask it “are you of the light and working for the divine plan”. If it is not, or does not answer, tell it to go away and it will. There are rules about free will and even the seemingly bad ET's will respect your will.

Animals

Animals are far more than meets the eyes. Most come from other areas of the universe and in a certain respect they are Extra Terrestrials incarnated on earth. The bodies they inhabit on their home planet may be completely different to their bodies here or may be very similar. As humans are involved in a reincarnational cycle on earth, each group of beings throughout the universe has there own reincarnational cycle.

The beings of each cycle have a similar consciousness and have similar personalities. They are expressing a part of the creator simply by being themselves. All life is evolving to a certain extent and so as each group continues its incarnations it gradually changes and becomes more of itself. 

Individuals can incarnate into different cycles for a life and return to their cycle or even leave their cycle and join another one if they desire to do so but generally groups tend to stay together. The reason for this is that the individuals in a group all have a connection to the same being of higher consciousness.

For example all humans have higher selves which have higher selves which have higher selves which eventually meet up with each other. We are in fact the expression of a huge being that incarnates through all of us. The same goes for other civilizations and groups of beings.

The interesting thing about earth is that the Human race has been doing something very unique which has never been done before (more on this in A New Mythology). Due to this it was necessary to have connections to all areas of the universe and to all types of consciousness. So the animals are beings from all over the universe incarnating into life forms here.

You can tune into any animal including insects, birds, mammals, fish, etc and you can follow the consciousness of the animal to wherever they come from. Of course awakening your third eye will make this much more vivid but anyone can look at an animal and get a feel of its consciousness.

It is important here to understand that the animal’s spirit or higher self comes through its light body which like ours does not shine through with perfect clarity. Like us, animals have an astral body which incarnates through the etheric and physical bodies.

The light body only has a tiny part actually incarnated in the physical and this part is obstructed by the astral body. To see the being behind the animal (the higher self and the connections to higher consciousness) you must follow its column above its head. Animals are in fact in greater contact with their higher selves than humans so they know where they come from. While asleep they dream of their home planet and maintain a conscious connection even while awake.

The connections held by animals on earth have been essential for the work we have been doing. They are like grounding rods for high spiritual forces of light and consciousness.

Animals may seem to be less evolved than humans but if you were to see them on their home planets and in their multidimensional bodies you may realize that they are in fact very advanced. They have incarnated here into bodies that are very restricted and very much controlled by the instincts of the lower self as we reside in the 3rd dimension where matter is extremely dense.

Remember that it is only a small part of them that resides within the body and as the instincts take control of their body in most situations many conclude that they are of lower consciousness than us intelligent humans. This is an illusion which was important for our purposes on earth.

Tuning into animals is probably the easiest way to awaken your spiritual senses and begin to feel the various higher forces that are a part of our world. All animals resonate with vast beings of higher consciousness and are but a part of these beings incarnating into the third dimension. They have come here to help us with our purposes and are all beings of infinite love and light.

Other Phenomena

The consequences of Alchemy and the resultant Metaphysical exploration are that nearly everything can be looked at from a wider perspective and explained from a metaphysical basis. 

This is an important part of each persons awakening as you can begin to answer questions for yourself and to see many phenomena that were previously hidden. As you gain inter-dimensional vision, connections with your higher selves and begin to communicate with multi-dimensional beings you will be able to look to these sources to find answers for almost any question you can come up with.

You will not need to read what the spiritual seers of old have said or follow the rules in religious books. You will have your own spiritual guidance, connections and multi-dimensional advisers. The reason for this website is to give you the practices needed to achieve this yourself in the shortest amount of time and with the greatest of ease possible.

There are numerous phenomena that could be explained here but there is no point in giving too much information. Also there are many other Authors giving out much information which is very helpful. It is certainly a good idea to read a wide variety of Authors and to keep an open mind.

Remember that authors may use different words to describe things and their opinions may differ so keep an open mind and follow your own intuition. Ultimately it is you that must find the truth.

It is not what you read that will transform you but what you experience for yourself.

Spiritual Games

by Craig Junjulas - 

My Guide Is Bigger Than Your Guide: 

Be it a famous deceased person, transcended master, angel, god, or goddess.... let the value of a channeling be in the words and the works themselves, not in the authorship claimed. I have met enough people in this field to know that claiming to associate with lofty beings or a famous spirit does not guarantee wisdom and spirituality, or even normality and civility.

This is not a criticism of usage. Nor is it name calling for name-dropping. This is merely a discussion about not getting caught up in a mind game wherein you elevate yourself above others in an act of insecurity. Like most psychological/spiritual games, playing ‘my guide is bigger than your guide’ is usually somewhat unconscious and not done with ill intent. 

In fact, giving credit to the spirit who you believe uttered words of wisdom or composed a great poem, can be an act of humility. Spiritual beings do indeed speak to us and through us, every day of our lives. When we are out of touch, it only means we are not paying attention to spirit in that moment. And it is a wondrous thing to be a conduit for love, wisdom and power to flow into the world. It also provides us an opportunity to practice detachment.

Imagine a violet ray streaming down to all life on earth; bringing a message of transfiguration, initiation and illumination. The average person only knows of their personality, so he or she may claim authorship; yet still be thankful of this creative gift and show a high degree of humility. 

People who have been taught to channel this light one way might say spirit guides are speaking through them. Others may believe it to be their own higher selves. Many were taught that angels or archangels of that ray are speaking through them. Another still, may claim it is a message directly from God.

In many instances what is claimed is based on the person’s social/religious upbringing and the psychological needs and limitations of the channeler in the moment. 

We can overcome our past programming of limitations and insecurities and allow ourselves to believe we have the right to bring through spiritual information and energy. As long as the message reaches humanity, the work is being done. The more we attach our sense of worth to the event, and judge others as less worthy because they are not conscious of their links, the greater our need for our own learning and healing.

A simple rule comes to mind regarding what to say... what to claim. If the voice you have learned to trust over the years tells you to give authorship to a particular being, then say it out loud and be willing to pay the price as well as accepting the rewards. But practice not being attached to the work itself and not caring who passed it along in the bucket brigade of bliss within that particularly colored ray. 

It all comes from the one light. The prisms that divide and display the separate colors only are there to help us assimilate it without getting too overwhelmed. The personalities that are used to disseminate higher power are also tools.

To be respected, respect the ways of all things, allow spirit to flow freely through you and trust the love, wisdom and power channeled to speak for itself.
