			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had not planned on writing this particular posting today, in fact I have been working on the topic of <em>Language, Leadership and Labyrinths </em>in preparation for a series of seminars I will be presenting. Although upon reflection it actually has everything to do with <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/daniel_goldstein_the_battle_between_your_present_and_future_self.html">Language and Leadership</a>!</p>
<p>While<em> surfing</em> the following headline caught my eye and so a click followed suit.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/22/michele-bachmann-anti-abortion-rally_n_1222649.html?ref=politics"><span style="color:#993300;"><em>Michele Bachmann Anti-Abortion Rally: Former GOP Presidential Candidate Speaks At Event </em></span></a></h3>
<p><span style="color:#993300;">&#8220;Here on our watch we will stand, we will stand for life, we will never forget, we will never give up, and next year we will gather in a day of celebration when we have finally ended abortion in this all important election,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Join me this year. Choose life.&#8221; This is the quote from the Huffington Post piece.</span></p>
<p>Well, it brought back some similar feelings when <strong><span style="color:#993300;">George W. Bush made reference to “Every Life has Value” at a speech at Kansas State in 2006 or so.</span></strong></p>
<p>In 2006-7 season, I decided to put the issue out to my television audience at the time, here is the transcript on <strong>The Meaning of ProLife. </strong>In light of our current world situation, deep thought is once again appropriate.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Meaning of Prolife</span></em></strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;There is a very fine line that is crossed in this debate</em></p>
<p><em>Let me ask you these questions:</em></p>
<p><em>If you believe in <strong>Prolife</strong> is it applicable in all areas of life!</em></p>
<p><em>Is it still an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth</em></p>
<p><em>In taking a stance for Prolife,  do you also believe in: </em></p>
<p><a href="www.deathpenalty.org/"><strong><em>The Death Penalty, </em></strong></a></p>
<p><strong><em><a href="www.nra.org/">The NRA,</a> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Military Action, </em></strong></p>
<p><em>Do you support placing <strong>guns in the hands of the children</strong> you <strong>saved through pro life that are now adults!</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Do you rejoice when the enemy is killed and want retaliation when your own are killed!</em></p>
<p><em>Is it win at any cost!</em></p>
<p><em>Is a <a href="civilliberty.about.com/od/abortion/tp/Pro-Life-vs-Pro-Choice.htm"><strong>Prolife</strong> </a>stance only a display for Political and Social acceptance!</em></p>
<p><em>Does a <strong>Prolife</strong> stance only affect <strong>select portions </strong>of the population!</em></p>
<p><em>Does death justify death and revenge override forgiveness!</em></p>
<p><em>And then if <strong>one holds a strong religious belief and faith</strong> in the <strong>Original and True teachings</strong> of<a href="www.omsakthi.org/religions.html"> Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, The Tao and Native American teachings, wisdoms   and any other discipline </a>that is <strong>Truly Guided by the Essence of God</strong>, Divine Love, Compassion and Heart Centered Action</em></p>
<p><em>Can any of the above mentioned be supported with conviction?</em></p>
<p><em>What does your heart and soul say!</em></p>
<p><em>It is for YOU to make the decision</em></p>
<p><a href="http://billmoyers.com/episode/crony-capitalism/"><strong><em>For You cannot support Both and not be a hypocrite!</em></strong></a></p>
<p><em> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</em></p>
<p>And I will included the transcript for another piece presented to my audience titled <strong>Return to Arlington.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In preparation:</strong></p>
<p><em>The view through the lens of the eye is of row after row, street after street, <a href="http://www.nationofchange.org/end-war-why-no-ticker-tape-parade-1327331863">hill after hill of crosses,</a> well ordered and manicured to cover the tragedy beneath. At the top of the hill, a glance through a space in the trees reveals the coldness of THE PENTAGON. A sign nearby reads “SILENCE AND RESPECT.  </em></p>
<p><a href="www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/VisitorInformation/Default.aspx"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Return to Arlington</span></em></strong></a></p>
<p>Who has determined that this ultimate life sacrifice is to the benefit of all – Where is the proof?</p>
<p>Where is the benevolence on the path leading to this resting place?</p>
<p>If each held in their heart that theirs was an honorable fight to end all fights, What can now be said!</p>
<p>Life to Death, the Illusion of Ultimate Deception!</p>
<p>Such honors were bestowed,</p>
<p>Only is it because of responsibility lost that they lie here now!</p>
<p>Those who come in droves to see, they wander as though numb to the message within the ethers of the land?</p>
<p>They walk as zombies following the paths, yet seeing not the lives before them.</p>
<p>So few have died in this land. So few have souls free of pain.</p>
<p>Perhaps they stayed in lands distant from this place, hearts wrenching with the knowing of deeds passed on and platitudes resounding through the air.</p>
<p>It is not of them, it never was nor ever will be,</p>
<p>Love and hate so closely tied, the bond of infinity seldom lies.</p>
<p>It is not of the land alone – it is of peoples and hearts undone.</p>
<p>Breathe in Life, breathe in death, one in the same, a mirror of the time.</p>
<p>It is not of you</p>
<p>You are not me</p>
<p>Yet as it flows to stream and sea</p>
<p>Hearts and Soul connect</p>
<p>So Mote It Be!</p>
<p>A mother cries in a distant land, the child she bore is here no more.</p>
<p>There is no home on this land here – this land is the same on a distant shore</p>
<p>A wail, a cry, an anguished heart –</p>
<p>Who says what is right</p>
<p>Who says what is not</p>
<p>The anger in the hearts of men, admonished power, relentless in the need for greed.</p>
<p>No right or wrong in the Angel’s Soul, for light shines forth in this illusion of the death</p>
<p>A life to claim and a life to live,</p>
<p>For those who rest a while, then move beyond the confines of this mortal place.</p>
<p>“Silence and Respect”.    It is time for silence no more –</p>
<p><strong>How many more mother and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters have to return here before the “ the Inner Soul of this Nation” yells ENOUGH!</strong></p>
<p>(In May 2007 I took DVD copies of these two video pieces to Capital Hill and delivered them to the office&#8217;s of numerous Senators. Did they ever look at them &#8211; I doubt it!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/yellow-rose-transparent-isolated.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1282" title="peace rose" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/yellow-rose-transparent-isolated.png?w=150&#038;h=148" alt="" width="150" height="148" /></a></p>
<p>Recently I watched a presentation by Teacher,<a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/john_hunter_on_the_world_peace_game.html"> John Hunter from TED2011 conference. </a>Mr. Hunter is a courageous, gentle, engaging man. His desires come from deep personal experience of wanting a better world of Peace in the purest truth of the word. He was talking about the World Peace Game he <em>created </em>for his students.</p>
<p>I completely agree with the form of education of interaction, engagement, hands-on real world learning of all subjects in real world applications. Similarly visioned education was proposed by <a href="http://www.rudolfsteinerweb.com/">Rudolph Steiner</a> back in the early 1900s with the subsequent models of <a href="http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/">Waldorf</a>,<a href="http://www.montessori.edu/refs.html"> Montessori </a>and many <a href="http://www.charterschoolcenter.org/">Charter Schools emerging.</a></p>
<p>What caught my attention and discomfort was the language and framework used in the World Peace Game. So ingrained in human culture and purposefully done so, is the militaristic approach to solving problems. From Mr. Hunter&#8217;s presentation, in the</p>
<p>World Peace Game all problems and solutions are outlined and approached as if participants were an army battalion under with the orders and structural plan of hierarchical domination.</p>
<p>Even in <em>innocen</em>t dialogue words of fight, war on, battle against and so on  can play into this mindset. The students take this all seriously, even the fun within searching for answers and solutions. At their young ages with sponge-like minds they do not yet understand the power of the language and military scenarios will imprint into their innocent, compassion and love filled psyche.</p>
<p>All too obvious are these versions of solutions, just look at the news media. Pain and suffering perpetuated by both winners and losers  are horrifying. The money amassed, spent and amassed again by the <a href="http://www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com/what-is-the-military-industrial-complex.asp">Military Industrial Complex</a> is beyond my capacity to adequately express its profound impact on humanity.</p>
<p>And such is the seed of mindset buried in the population’s psyche that many with the most pure intentions and desires for change and to improve the dynamics within systems such as education and health are thwarted at each turn.</p>
<p>The grand vision and outcome of the World Peace Game is to teach, example living and leadership and to allow young minds to interact, solve problems, decide on consequences and learn the difference between power and victim, privilege and poverty, negations and charity.</p>
<p>All through the windows of the military structure. Young minds and hearts with a huge desire to change the world continue to be imprinted with the out dated, corrupted and ineffective patriarchal programming of Us, Them, Friend, Foe, Have, Have nots,<a href="http://www.forbes.com/leadership/"> who owns the power is the power!</a></p>
<p><strong>The New Paradigm</strong></p>
<p>Using the interactive game <a href="http://www.architectz.eu/index.php?id=home">model of education and leadership</a> in the highest degree can develop understanding, leadership, mutual problem solving, deriving mutual benefits based on relative needs, dignity and empowerment of individuals and groups (in whatever form). This can be achieved without the use of toy tanks, soldiers, territory battle fields, military language with one side always being perceived as aggressor, trouble maker, charity case, less than because of skin color, clothes, beliefs and culture.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dalailama.com/messages/world-peace/a-human-approach-to-peace">World Peace</a> is and will not be achieved by war, real or illusionary.</p>
<p>Are there people and solutions working and living towards this end now? YES! Amazing people, Mr Hunter included. Men and women, young and old – yet many more are needed. Not the political figures whose $$$$ signs are supposed to dictate authority and integrity!</p>
<p>It is those like you and I – quietly or not so quietly LIVING for the Vision of Peace to be achieved. And that Vision of Peace can only be achieved by Living and Striving and Finding that Peace within ourselves FIRST. Games, tools, books, beginning education &#8211; all education on this one foundation stone sets the foundation for the rest of the building, no matter the direction, no matter the shape.</p>
<p>War and Peace are both within the Human Life Experience.</p>
<p>To translate the English words War and Peace from a numerological perspective: Ancient Pythagorean  Numerology (there are always 2 sides – negative/positive solutions. The choice is which one each applies!)</p>
<p><strong>War = 5 + 1 + 9 – </strong>(negative outcome) <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Restricting freedom and change (5) of the individuals (1) allows for control of the whole (9)</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Peace = 7 + 5 + 1 + 3 +5 </strong>(positive outcome)</p>
<p><strong><em>Trust (7) releases restrictions (5) of Self/Individuals (1) to Communicate/Express (3) Freedom and Change (5)</em></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.earthspiritjourneys.com/#!en-lighten-ment">Games, tools, education and leadership</a> that encourages each individual more knowledge of themselves (on their terms), addresses the wants and needs of each/all sides and then can work together to cooperatively create and fulfill the greater vision of the group/country and also have the wants and needs of each individual gifted without the militaristic structure will be the foundation of the New Paradigm of Peace for all people.</p>
<p>This is no piper dream&#8230;..it works now!</p>
<p>Change the Perspective, Change the outcome!</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Dear Readers,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your continued support in visiting and reading my ramblings, stories and hopefully wisdom learned! 2011 has been a good year in preparing us for this arrival&#8230;.good, bad and indifferent!</p>
<p>This time of year is not joyful for so many as it is also a time to remember those loved who either passed from this life during the year or in year&#8217;s earlier. How shallow the saying <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/">&#8220;those you loved are still with you</a>&#8221; when all seen everyday is empty space near you. During these times of really transiting into what can be called &#8220;higher dimensions&#8221; we, each of us, are learning that what seemed impossible is indeed possible.</p>
<p>During times of reflection, perhaps really start talking and calling on those in Spirit, and perhaps most especially those you had real problems with. Ask them or write to them about why their anger, pain, abuse, whatever the situation you &#8220;experienced&#8221; &#8230;&#8230;..use a photo if it is easier to focus&#8230;&#8230;.allow your true feelings and expressions to surface&#8230;&#8230;the ones that are usually ignored or not discussed in therapy!</p>
<p><em>But you ask..<a href="http://taglike.me/video?q=non+violent+communication">..isn&#8217;t that why one goes to therapy</a>!</em> Supposedly, yet from my experience with clients who have been in therapy for extended periods of time, a spoken or unspoken agreement has been struck between client and therapist to not discuss or push beyond certain points of topics, thus never going to the core for healing and most especially recognition and acknowledgment.</p>
<p>To move fully into the wonder of this <a href="http://www.calleman.com/">Year 2012</a> it is necessary to not accept the past actions of status quo. In numerology 2012 = 5 =  change, flow, freedom, flexibility or rigidity, hitting the brick wall!</p>
<p>Nothing can change or be free and flowing if it is still bound, trapped, locked, buried, denied or rejected. This is true of those in Spirit World as well as the happenings in your physical world.</p>
<p>No New Year’s Resolution will have any power or depth if the way forward is still blocked.</p>
<p>Therefore, invite and ask those residing in the<em> higher realms</em> to freely and gently and truthfully <em><strong>Look through your Eyes, Feel through your Heart, Enlighten through your Soul and Forgive through the Physical</strong></em> to truly be able to embrace the potential of Year 2012 also The Chinese Year of the Dragon beginning January 22 and the long awaited promise of a New Earth manifesting.</p>
<p>In Eastern Astrology to Dragon is powerful, creative, passionate, engaging -  not the corrupted view set forth by Western religion of evil incarnate!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Reviewing the Past</span></strong></p>
<p>Recently I have been reviewing all of the past postings with the intent to create a book/eBook. I have been amazed as so much I have forgotten.</p>
<p>The very first posting in March 2010 was about TRUTH – I believe it is quite appropriate to share once again.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">What is Truth?</span></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Truth</strong> as defined by</p>
<p align="center"><strong><a href="http://en.wordpress.com/tag/politics/">Earthly Laws </a>and Understandings</strong> is</p>
<p align="center"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Describable,</span>     <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Definable</span>    <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Explainable,</span>    <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Deniable</span></p>
<p>And found outside of one’s Self and subject to the abuse of “authority”</p>
<p>The people of Earth are and have been “governed and guided” (very loosely used) by this form of Truth for thousands of years.</p>
<p><strong>The results speak for themselves!</strong></p>
<p align="center">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Truth</strong> as defined by</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Universal and Divine Laws</strong> is</p>
<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Indescribable</span></strong>       <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Indefinable</span></strong>     <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Unexplainable</span></strong>      <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Undeniable</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>And found within one’s Self and is subject to no lesser “authority”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, (3/2010) and in the times to come, (2012 and beyond) the strength and visibility of these Laws will increasingly reveal “mistruths and abuses” in order for people everywhere to claim their personal authority, consciousness and directions for new life, health, governing and corporate structures on Earth.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/"><em><strong>One Person at a time</strong></em>  <em><strong>DOES change the</strong></em><strong> </strong><em><strong>world</strong>!</em></a></p>
<p>I wish you safety, joy, friendship, harmony and peace  for today and everyday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Today is the launch day for En-Lighten-MEnt &#8211; initiated within the <em>Walking for World Peace Labyrinth</em> at 12-12pm on 12-12-2011.</strong></span></p>
<p align="center">What an amazing unfolding the past six weeks has been! The first tiny glimpse of this project never revealed the final scope.</p>
<p align="center">And I think it is safe to say that this Tool/Game is <strong><em>the first of its kind</em></strong> &#8211; in variations and interweaving of information from Spirit and Earth as well as the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual layers of everyday life.</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>The Journey of</em> <span style="color:#ff0000;">En-Lighten-MEnt</span><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Earth Spirit Journeys Productions</em></strong></p>
<p>Earth Spirit Journeys came into being about 14 years ago while I was President and Co-Founder of the W.H.O.L.E. Vision Foundation (Women Helping Other Learn Empowerment). It was also the same time of my introduction to Lakota Medicine Teachings and the future path to Medicine Woman.</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#800080;">There is nothing greater than understanding the path between life on Earth and life in Spirit&#8230;.it is what has driven humanity from the dawn of time until this very moment and will continue into beyond!</span></em></p>
<p>Hindsight – looking back to the path walked and understanding more of the why’s, how’s and what’s were involved then and in relation to now.</p>
<p>History – The Past foretelling the Future when actions, deeds and beliefs do not change!</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>En-Lighten-MEnt</strong></span> – New Paradigm Tools and Games are the collective expression most specifically of the past ten years of my life.  Let me explain further.</p>
<p>The Year 2000 was a turning point for humanity, stepping into another millennium (1,000 years). 2001 marked another turning point. We all know the outward details and all that has played out in the past nine years, a complete cycle in numerology (1-9 sequence). 2011 marked ten years (10=1) a new cycle beginning, taking humanity through the 2012 gateway to fully embody the feminine energy of the Age of Aquarius.</p>
<p>New, unknown, undiscovered as yet&#8230;.filled with possibilities, risk and adventure.</p>
<p>Back in 2001 my friend and Soul Sister,<a href="http://chakralabyrinth.com/"> Toby Evans of Prairie Labyrinths </a>gave me an Akashic Record Reading. In essence it was about this lifetime and most specifically, from 2001 onwards. I was to travel wherever necessary to “gather the tools lost in the winds of time, from ancient lifetimes experienced and to bring them back for my current life’s works. They will be found in places and specifically &#8220;in and through&#8221;select people I would meet and work with along the way. To bring these tools into wholeness once again!  At the time I did not understand what these tools were or what they would signify.</p>
<p>In the extreme distant past (Atlantis/Leumeria) similar tools and persons carrying them had been destroyed by fear and power because of the truth, goodness and love they represented and produced. Not unlike what is playing out with the populations of Earth these days! The Big Few against the Small Many!</p>
<p>What appeared to be just stories, myths and legends of times and history unwritten or provable are now guiding the opposite effects!</p>

<h2><span style="color:#ff0000;">        $55 + shipping from 1/1/2012<br />
</span></h2>
<h4>            (see layout below)</h4>
<h4><a href="http://www.awakener.com/">Numerology </a>  (4=balance/foundations; 5=change/freedom; = 9 wholeness/completion) In other words the $45 is about building foundations for change to bring one into Wholeness.)</h4>
<p>This first edition of <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>En-Lighten-MEnt –</strong> <em>New Paradigm Tools</em></span> is an expression of many of the important turning points in my life during the past nine years. A coming together for wholeness, for teaching and guiding, to release ownership of the tools for other&#8217;s benefit.</p>
<p>Before sharing these markers, I am to remind each on one of you that your life in the past 9 years is also a series of markers, coming to this point on culmination for revelation as to Who, What and How you desire to move through the great gateway between now (December, 2011) into December 2012 and beyond.</p>
<p>For many it will be very difficult to be objective, to see through so much. Yet in doing so there is so much freedom, understanding, forgiveness and celebration.</p>
<p align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>We are the CREATORS of EVOLUTION making way for R-EVOLUTION</strong></span></p>
<p align="center">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<h1><span style="color:#ff0000;">En-Lighten-MEnt</span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800080;">Be one of the first people to have the New Paradigm Tools and Games &#8211; It is the first of its kind! Each First Edition </span><span style="color:#ff0000;">En-Lighten-MEnt <span style="color:#800080;">has been &#8220;Initiated&#8221; within the large traveling <em>Walking for World Peace Labyrinth.</em></span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Start with a Beginner’s Mind</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Develop Intuition</span></strong></p>
<p>There are four parts to this game for you and your friends to enjoy.</p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/finger-labyrinth-and-cards1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1261" title="finger labyrinth and cards" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/finger-labyrinth-and-cards1.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>The <a href="http://earthsymbols.com/"><strong>Labyrinth</strong></a> in the center of the game layout can be used as a <strong>Finger Labyrinth</strong> for centering, grounding and meditation. Simply begin by centering yourself, place <strong>attention</strong> on an issue or topic, state the powerful mantra for Release and Claiming and let your finger do the walking&#8230;..the more often one “walks the labyrinth” the more grounded and effective the experience will become. Placing attention on an issue is quite different to intending an outcome. The desire here is to allow the outcome/s or directions to be revealed from a higher source or guidance (specific to each individual) and which will be in the Highest Good of All (all those involved). For many this does not come easily as we have been taught to try and control outcomes and other people in order to get our own way or what we think is best. Learning to trust your intuition is very important for making better choices and decisions in your every day life.</p>
<p>The <strong>second</strong> part of the game is to use the<strong> 108 Cards</strong> included as a divination tool for gaining clarity on any particular situation you wish to address. They may be used at any time and in any layout you desire. By using the cards in this manner you can develop and increase intuitive abilities. Developing and refining intuition is similar to developing muscles; with more practice intuition can become clearer and trusted as a guiding life force.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Confidence Builder for Personal Empowerment<a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/game-layout-with-board.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1262" title="game layout with board" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/game-layout-with-board.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a></span></strong></p>
<p>The<strong> third</strong> part of the game is in the form of a board game for up to six people to enjoy. At the beginning of the game each player may wish to write down a question or issue they would like to receive some clarity or guidance. As players move around the labyrinth<strong> choosing</strong> <strong>cards</strong>, the messages are read to the group, questions answered or insight maybe be shared by other players. Make notes as the game proceeds. At the end of the game each player can share their original question or issue and what they intuitively believe the cards chosen are telling them.</p>
<p>This game is not about coming in first. It is about developing intuition, personal empowerment, learning how each player receives information differently and learning to trust sharing messages at the right time, in a correct and enjoyable way so that everyone benefits.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Learning Cooperative Leadership when Everyone is In Charge</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/i-ching-puzzle.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1263 alignleft" title="I Ching puzzle" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/i-ching-puzzle.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>The <strong>forth</strong> part of the game is a simple picture puzzle using the <strong>64 numbers/<a href="http://www.creative-harmonics.org/">hexagrams of the I CHING</a></strong>. It can be used individually or for up to six players. Players choose a designated number of puzzle pieces. Through cooperation and collaboration each player must gather the correct puzzle pieces that fit their section of the puzzle while addressing the set of specific requests of the other players. Players go from “wanting” to “fulfilling the collective vision” while learning about cooperative leadership.</p>

<p>All of this is only part of the multi-facets that make up my life, yet concrete for me to understand how and why things are as they are getting to this point.</p>
<p>As an integrative completion of a collection of knowledge, practices and information I have gained through these past nine years, to be release and shared with many others around the world. These tools will be translated into many other languages in the coming months.</p>
<p>In completing this particular cycle I am now open to the next unknown yet amazing journey awaiting me.</p>
<p><strong>I am not alone&#8230;..everyone can be in the same place&#8230;.the choice is there to make! What are the Life Markers in your life? Where are you heading and can you trust the unknown!</strong></p>
<p>Using the tools within<span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong> En-Lighten-MEnt </strong></span>can help you learn, grow and move towards your own <strong>Enlightenment</strong>!</p>
<p>Until&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Blessings and Gratitude to All!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gosh! It has been quite a while since placing words to paper but I am here now, at least with a short posting today.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Creative Juices Flowing</span></strong></p>
<p>Yesterday I made it over the hump with the creative project I have been immersed in for the past three weeks plus. Friday and Saturday I hit the proverbial brick wall, making the task at hand way more complicated than necessary&#8230;..walks, self-talk, stepping back to gain objectivity and a good dose of ego surrendering finally cleared the way to the obvious solution and voila&#8230;..ease in creation once again!</p>
<p>Why, when we know better, do we allow the analytical brain to take charge (even for a short time) and throw everything off course! In this case I believe it was to take me to the place of &#8220;the beginner&#8217;s mind&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;the place of innocent exploration of new and uncharted ways of seeing and doing&#8230;..the final message that pounded through my intuitive  mind was &#8220;simple, simple, simple&#8230;..keep it simple!  And this advise we forget all too often in the everyday hustle and bustle of life!</p>
<p>Another reason for engaging a beginner&#8217;s mind. When creating, teaching and most especially when writing instructions, it is vital to go back to the beginner&#8217;s mind and put oneself in the shoes of those who will be reading and using the instructions. All too often when lessons and instructions are written without due diligence vital &#8220;obvious steps&#8221; are missed or assumed the reader will know&#8230;..and we have all been there&#8230;.the pieces don&#8217;t fit, a step is missed and what is suppose to be easy is anything but! Part of being an expert is to also remember how it feels to be a beginner!</p>
<p>I will be keeping you in suspense a few days longer as to what &#8220;the project&#8221; is about&#8230;..only I will say that I plan the official launch on 12-12-12..the final gateway.</p>
<p><strong>Can you feel the intensity building?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/magnetic-field-flow-12-12-12-lg.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1252" title="magnetic field flow 12-12-12 lg" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/magnetic-field-flow-12-12-12-lg.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>This weekend marked the midpoint between the galactic gateway initiation on 11-11-11 and the final galactic gateway initiation on 12-12-12 when the last crystal grid activation will take place, namely the Ruby Fire Crystal of Energy in Bimini and the Sacred Crystal of Thoth in Bolivia.</p>
<div>(a message from <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/spiritual-entities/metatron">Metatron</a> channeled by <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/tyberonn">Tyberonn</a>)</div>
<p><a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/tyberonn">These are defined, located and placed with activation dates as follows:</a></p>
<p><em>Arkansas</em></p>
<p>(1) Blue Crystal of Knowledge 8-8-8</p>
<p>(2) Emerald Crystal of Healing 9-9-9</p>
<p>(3) Platinum Crystal of Communication 11-11-11 ( Bio-Plasmic Interface)</p>
<p><em>Bimini Bank:</em></p>

<p>(2) Sacred Crystal of Thoth 12-12-12</p>
<p>With much for you to explore in the articles by Tyberonn and others you will find on Spirit Library I will sign off for now.</p>
<p>During these next two weeks pay attention to what is happening, leaving, coming into and grabbing your attention in your everyday life and relationships. Use as much intuition as you can to make decisions and actions to take&#8230;.be gentle on yourself and others and get rest as much as possible. With the tremendous increase in magnetic/electrical/vibrational frequencies swirling around our bodies can get overloaded more easily.</p>
<p>For the past two weeksI have been having regular detox baths (4 days apart) using epson salts, baking soda and sea salt ( a cup of the first two, half a cup of salt). Inexpensive and effective and feels wonderful afterwards. I use coconut oil on the skin afterwards. Very important&#8230;..drink a lot more good water everyday to hydrate yourself&#8230;.try to stay away from chlorinated city water.</p>
<p>Until we connect again&#8230;..Many Blessings to All!</p>
<p>Curious about what 2012 has in store for you&#8230;.now is time to think about getting a Numerology Chart for mapping out the &#8220;frequency influence&#8221; for each week of each month of the year. You will be amazed how accurate the charts can be! Contact me through my website contact page for details. www.earthspiritjourneys.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/meditation-under-sun.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1234" title="meditation under sun" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/meditation-under-sun.jpg?w=184&#038;h=138" alt="" width="184" height="138" /></a>This morning, wrapped in a warm blanket to protect from the cool mountain air I sat in meditation. The warm southern sun feeling so good after several days of clouds, cold, rain and blahs!</p>
<p>As the cocoon warmed, the mind stilled and partially emptied of thoughts and dialogue&#8230;..peaceful. This week is huge as most of you know. The big build up to 11-11-11 and another full moon heralding yet more dynamic shifts in the energetic and vibrational life forces on Earth and within Humanity.</p>
<p><strong><em>Awaken! Awaken! It is the time!</em></strong></p>
<p>The mind chatter started and this phrase kept repeating itself within me&#8230;a meditation in itself! As its continued force moved to cells and the blueprint matrix of all fields within and around me became aware&#8230;.<strong><em>Awaken! Awaken! It is the Time!</em></strong></p>
<p>I/We have been waiting for the tangible signs of this most intangible phenomenon&#8230;.they are here yet they are not! Then my mind took me to remember some of the many clues from days gone by of perhaps <em>Who and What I have incarnated for in this Lifetime.</em></p>
<p>As I share these very few pieces of awakening for me, I encourage you to also follow the awakening threads of your journey thus far&#8230;.what is revealed to you?</p>
<p>The mind stilled and then revealed&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">The very earliest memory I have is of 3 years old, before my brother was born. Living on the waterfront in Palm Beach, north of Sydney (back then it was a days trek to get <a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/pittwater-palm-beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1236" title="pittwater palm beach" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/pittwater-palm-beach.jpg?w=150&#038;h=93" alt="" width="150" height="93" /></a>there from the city.) Standing near a large tree (mother took a photo of me and the tree that day). A group of <em>nuns in black habits</em> come to the beach </span><span style="color:#993366;">to swim. They all started taking off the layers of clothing and it was when the veils started coming off revealing bald heads that I became frightened and hid behind the tree. Laughingly, they spoke and tried to coax me out, I stayed out of deep curiosity more than anything. Of course we all know nuns don&#8217;t strip off their clothes and swim&#8230;..I know this was a visit from other worlds!</span></p>
<p>In the warmth of the morning sun I went back into quiet time within the mind&#8230;&#8230;another memory came back.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">This was when I was 6-7 years old. My father, along with another engineer, started building tape recorders in a small garage in Cremorne, a suburb of Sydney. Not long after that he opened &#8220;Magnetic Sound Industries&#8221; on George St, Sydney. For anyone living in Sydney between the mid 50s to early 80s, my father Peter Clark, was known as the Sound Magician and he really opened up the tape recorder and Hi Fi industry in Australia. He could hear the tiniest change in sound, he knew how create combinations of equipment (speakers, amps, tape decks, etc) to get as perfect a sound as possible back then. He taught me to <strong>hear and listen and feel</strong> sound frequencies.</span></p>
<p>That image moved away and the sun warmed my face and body&#8230;stillness again.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">Around 13-14 years old the world expanded again. Sitting at the window in my bedroom, holding the treasured &#8220;transistor radio&#8221; with the antenna extended out of the window searching the skies for radio stations from other parts of Australia and the World. Most every night I would do the same ritual. Using the dial to tune into the radio frequencies able to penetrate the atmosphere and ignite the crystals within the radio&#8230;..I could hear the world coming to me&#8230;sometimes in English&#8230;mostly in other languages yet it didn&#8217;t matter, I was just enthralled. Living on the other side of the world in the stillness of my night and connecting to other worlds!</span></p>
<p>Stillness and warmth again&#8230;..</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">Hands of Healing appeared and a vision of the<a href="http://tomkenyon.com/"> Hathors.</a> Ancient, light-filled, beyond Earth&#8230;..hands held up and light energy eliminating forth, dancing along the vibrational waves all around. This was Me remembering how and why the knowledge of Light Healing Power  was/is activated through me in this lifetime all the way to today. Through experience I have witnessed incredible events and healing and know there is so much more to be received as We Awaken! This vision continued moving through my ages of 8 years old until today&#8230;..the young dancer whose body moved and flowed with the technical training of a classical ballet dancer&#8230;..and always it was through my hands came the greatest expression&#8230;..energy flowing and moving through and out, touching others. These days I speak a lot with my hands. It is so special to watch another&#8217;s eyes catch sight of light, energy and colors flowing as I speak&#8230;..making the intangible, tangible, so to speak!</span></p>
<p>Quiet again, mind is still and sun is continuing to warm&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">A diamond patterned tapestry is on the wall before me. I am sitting at a table surrounded by others at a dinner party. The woman opposite me makes mention of a recent trip to Egypt. Behind her, a diamond moves and opens&#8230;.and then becomes dimensionally deeper into the tapestry and wall. I am traveling into the diamond light, further and further into this tunnel&#8230;..not seeing yet knowing there are rooms or places behind the light&#8230;.moving deeper in yet still hearing voices on the outside of the vision. Light expanding into a room/space of vibrant light vibrating with beauty. I had reached the inner space within the diamond within the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza">Great Pyramid </a>but it is not the one known as Giza&#8230;.it is one within one, within one, yet to be found!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">Under the light are scenes of lower light, people playing with genes and machines, Dr Who comes to mind&#8230;.scenes of desolation and pain are dissolved as I hold and witness&#8230;..Awaken! Awaken! When the time is right Diamond Light will Activate!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">As Light begins to change I move backwards out of the tunnel, back through the diamond pattern and rest quietly in the chair again&#8230;.all eyes turned toward me puzzled and curious. The explanation I gave then could only scratch the surface and was suffice for then.</span></p>
<p>Awaken! Awaken! It is Time!</p>
<p>Part Three of the message from <a href="http://spiritlibrary.com/earth-keeper/earth-keeper-chronicles/the-energy-of-the-11-11-11-part-3">Metatron by Tyberonn </a>awakened all of this again. As yet another activation of the massive communicating crystals of the planet will occur on 11-11-11, with a prime focus on the Arkansas Mountains another memory came forth&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">Of the time in October, 2000 when I went of Vision Quest in those very same mountains, activated by the crystal power deep within the core.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;">I am in gratitude of all those in my life journey thus far who have been friends, lovers, teachers, creators and co-creators. Many know who you are, many others do not know how you have touched my life and been part of my AWAKENING. We often have no idea how we affect and effect others&#8230;.I hope I have touched some lives in the same way and been a Seed of Awakening for them.</span></p>
<p>We are awakening to the Core, as the core of an apple holds seeds&#8230;.so too as we peel and reveal&#8230;.Our Core holds the Seeds of Purpose and Life to unfold&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#993366;"><strong>Remember! Remember!</strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week and the past few weeks have been profound not only by the amount of information and creative inspirations coming forth from so many people but also for the ways in which those last vestiges of stuff are being freed for the new understandings of time, space and life dimensions to emerge.</p>
<p>Three posts in one week seems excessive when I a first shown the message, yet now it some muddy sense to me. This last part was really the beginning point of all the writing yet had to wait its correct turn. I hope many of you enjoyed the Introduction to Vedic Medical Astrology in yesterday&#8217;s posting. Because this is such good information I have created a separate page under Exercises and Tools (right side bar) titled <a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.wordpress.com/about/exercises-and-tools/vedic-astrology-with-laura-barat/">&#8220;Vedic Astrology with Laura Barat&#8221;</a>. You can easily access the page without having to remember date of the posting. In the future I plan to have other practitioners of varying disciplines share their information.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Revelations Beyond Measure!</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/mt-shasta-2.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1219 alignright" title="Mt Shasta 2" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/mt-shasta-2.jpg?w=176&#038;h=101" alt="" width="176" height="101" /></a>I was on retreat in Mt Shasta this past week and all I can say is I am Blessed! Looking out of the window at the ancient mountain range called The Eddies (and the Crags) which I was told are in the age range of 2 million years old&#8230;Fall is truly with us.</p>
<p>This time of year is always one of review for me, what have I done, accomplished, missed out on, lost, loved and planted seeds for the future. It is only while transferring all the important personal and business phone and contact information into the new day timer for the upcoming year do I actually “see” where I have been, what has been done and with whom. Sitting in the quiet it appears I have achieved very little, yet I am amazed at how many miles of I have traveled and to where&#8230;.nearly 20,000 miles since October last year.</p>
<p>The nights are close to cold, too cold for me to feel like camping again. The days are marked by blue skies, warmed with sun filled golden rays, hundreds of acres of green mountain pines are changing form with pockets of red, orange and gold as the oaks bear witness to the season’s change.</p>
<p>Watching the sun penetrate golden leaves I wonder at the mysterious alchemy taking place to gift us with such beauty. Someone misunderstanding this comment may begin to explain the scientific, chemical and physical metamorphosis through photosynthesis and question my lack of academic knowledge&#8230;..but this is not what I am taking about.</p>
<p>I am talking about the pure wonder and mystery surrounding us every moment, no matter where we live or in what conditions. For a minute, just wonder “Why am I here now!”  “How did I get here!”  Where am I going!”</p>
<p>The most read blog entry I have done thus far is about the <a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/remembering-sundance-ceremony-and-the-gift-of-lessons/">Lessons from the Lakota Sundance.</a> Every month without fail people find this entry, read it and yet I have never received a direct comment as to why the attraction, what was learned, if anything, and was it appreciated or not!</p>
<p>Is it because of the renewing interest and respect for Native American teachings and wisdom! Or could it be the mystery and fears surrounding a most sacred and powerful expression of personal sacrifice in the Spirit of Thanksgiving! Thus far I do not know, so I continue to wonder!</p>
<p>It has not been until this retreat within the vortex of Shasta’s mountain have I realized how profoundly the creative juices locked within have opened to create and move.</p>
<p>I have done both on a very small monthly $$ amount, supplemented by client consultations from time to time, occasional work producing videos/blogs for clients, work/trades and varieties of gifting in the form of giving and receiving To and By many others. (These I believe are examples of the &#8220;New Economic Paradigm)</p>
<p><strong>From the Day Timer of 2010-2011: (follow journeys in the archives)<br />
</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/stewart-mineral-springs.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1222" title="Stewart Mineral Springs" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/stewart-mineral-springs.jpg?w=180&#038;h=112" alt="" width="180" height="112" /></a>The last week of <strong>October, 2010</strong> I was pushed to leave living in <strong>Mt Shasta</strong> for good (at least I thought so!) It was a time of hurt and emotional pain on many levels. I landed in <strong>Sebastopol, CA (near Santa Rosa)</strong> and during the second week  there I ended up “flat on my back and so sick for 5 days”&#8230;even death felt like an option! Major detox and emotional/vibrational recalibrations are not nice medicine!</p>
<p><strong>Late November</strong> took me to friends on<strong> Meditation Mountain in Sonora,</strong> where we were trapped by the Thanksgiving week snow storm and then renewed by a trip to <strong>Big Sur</strong> that foretold the future.</p>
<p><strong>First week of December</strong>, a return to <strong>Mt Shasta</strong> to stomp felts for a week. <strong>December 10<sup>th</sup> </strong> was the beginning of the <strong>five thousand miles road trip</strong> alone to see my sons in <strong>Kansas City, MO and St Petersburg, FL</strong>. A trip about clearing the past, revealing and acknowledging pains, fear, joys and loves&#8230;..so much&#8230;too much&#8230;.all so worth it!  The journey documented in<a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.wordpress.com/2011/01/"> January blog entries.</a></p>
<p>Returned to <strong>Sonora January 14<sup>th</sup></strong> in the wee hours to rest, regroup and figure out “what’s next!”  Time was spent with more <strong>writing and making teaching videos on &#8220;Time Collapsing.</strong>&#8221; When an opportunity to explore a creative project came from a couple of friends in Ashland. I said Yes to the mystery of it and <a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/meditation-gazebo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1220" title="Springs Meditation Gazebo" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/meditation-gazebo.jpg?w=123&#038;h=150" alt="" width="123" height="150" /></a>headed to <strong>Mt Shasta</strong> for a couple of days and the mineral waters before arriving in <strong>Ashland, OR mid February.</strong> The <strong>next six weeks</strong> were filled with new people and too many interesting dynamics to mention. While in Ashland I worked on other people’s creative visions and did a <strong>third performance of my own hour and a half theater piece “Awakening and Igniting Ecstasy In-Formation&#8230;New Twists on Money, Power, Sex and Death.</strong> (It wasn’t as good as the first two performances and knocked the wind out of me.)</p>
<p><strong>March</strong> marked the world changing event of the <strong>Japan Earthquake,</strong> as well as my <strong>grandson’s birth</strong>. New recognition as a <strong>Facilitator of Personal Life Alchemy</strong> renewed my faith and finances for a short while, and <strong>a week trip to Florida</strong> to see new little Braydon was possible.</p>
<p><strong>April and May</strong> were spent going back and forth between <strong>Sonora and Sebastopol</strong> once again&#8230;.even day timer entries are blurred through these months, as though they didn’t really exist.  The<strong> end of May took me to Santa Cruz</strong> for the week long <strong>1000 Hummingbird Gathering of Indigenous Women.</strong></p>
<p>From there,<strong> north to Ashland</strong> again to visit and do some work. <strong>First week of June</strong> was back to<strong> Mt Shasta</strong> to stomp felts again for four days and then returning to<strong> Sonora</strong> to prepare for the <strong>Summer Solstice Retreat</strong> I was facilitating.</p>
<p>The<strong> first week of July</strong>, Stephanie and I <strong>drove to Palm Springs and Joshue Tree</strong> to visit her friends&#8230;.daily heat index 108 degrees! We all moved very slowly!</p>
<p><strong>Back to Sonora</strong> for a week. <strong>July 17<sup>th</sup> drove to Selma, OR</strong> to participate in the week long <strong>Mystic Garden Music Gathering</strong>.  The Walking for World Peace Labyrinth was presented for the first time <strong>(video diaries are within the blog entries.)</strong> <strong>July 26<sup>th</sup> arrived back in Mt Shasta</strong> and camped behind Lake Siskiyou to rest before presenting the <strong>Labyrinth at the  Best of Mt Shasta Conference.</strong></p>
<p>Rested for a week before returning to<strong> Sebastopol</strong> to help a friend with his garden, while he attended his mother’s recovery from surgery. What I thought would be a <strong>two week stay evolved into two and a half months,</strong> staying in my tent sanctuary under a 500 year old oak tree. As normal, this time was blessed by new friends, some work, theater and dance evenings, drumming and kirtan, more amazing experiences in the sharing of the Peace Labyrinth, <strong>created a five part audio/video series on Physical and Spiritual Baggage,</strong> experienced challenging interactions from time to time and blessed with great learning and growth for all and finally I was chosen by a feral kitten to be surrogate mother for a few weeks, before finding the perfect home for him.</p>
<p><strong>Early September</strong> I spent a week near <strong>Lassen National Park and Forest</strong> helping a friend dig for sacred medicinal roots and herbs in the<strong> role of Medicine Woman.</strong> Turning talents to create a blog for him along with <strong>filming a video, editing and uploading it as his own teaching video.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/creek-plunge.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1221 alignleft" title="creek plunge!" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/creek-plunge.jpg?w=146&#038;h=150" alt="" width="146" height="150" /></a>And then<strong> late last week</strong> once again the <strong>Shasta Mountain and Waters called me to rest,</strong> rejuvenate, reunite, review and now revel in the wonder and mystery of <strong>What and Where IS Next!</strong></p>
<p>On Thursday night while singing and chanting in the sacred space of my friend’s <strong>Kirtan</strong> evening, a message rang loud and clear within me&#8230;. “<strong>you will teach in Europe and UK next year.”</strong> I heard it once and then again and then I said <strong>YES I will!  </strong> The how and with whom, I leave to the great mystery to reveal, soon and clearly I hope!</p>
<p>Following the next day when talking to a young woman about helping me <strong>transcribe the latest audio/video series into working guidebook</strong>, she made an amazing<strong> creative suggestion about the labyrinth, so now yet another project to manifest.</strong>&#8230;hopefully not alone for I long to experience strong, balanced, creative and successful partnerships from here on out!</p>
<p><strong>Turn up and wait! Right!</strong></p>
<p>As a footnote I will say I am tired of all the moves, uncertainty and to find a safe, welcoming, loving and creative home space would be wonderful. Yet I cannot make a place so if it is not or I am not ready or in alignment with a particular energy.</p>
<p>This is one of the most important lessons gained in these times of <strong>Time and Space speeding up and collapsing all at the same time.</strong> One moment or day all the pieces and people may be in exact alignment and then, with even a change of decision, actions or desires by <strong>one person, </strong>it can and will change the entire scenario, which may lead to (in theatrical terms) your character, scene and/or purpose deleted from the play&#8230;..you don’t need to turn up for rehearsal&#8230; but to now wait and see where and how your character (You) can be a star, in a supporting role, the lover, villain, Samaritan, creator, whatever is part and parcel of the Life and Soul journey for the rest of 2011, 2012 and beyond.</p>
<p>Before  reviewing the past year, if I had been asked what had I done and achieved during that time, much would have been left out because I don’t remember how it all just evolved and happened. Would all of this have been possible several years ago&#8230;.I don’t think so&#8230;&#8230;We are already in the movement and flow of Time, Space and Dimensions Shifting&#8230;.the illusion is real!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Feet to the Corporate Fire</strong></span></h3>
<p>Nearly three weeks ago I decided to upgrade my Sprint phone, from the slow 2008 basic model to a 2011 basic model. I don&#8217;t need all the bells and whistles and although I was really resistant to signing a contract (last one expired in 2009) I had been with Sprint for the past 12 years + and decided to stay.</p>
<p>The nightmare began when this &#8220;el cheapo&#8221; was delivered to the wrong address (no logical reason why!) and an employee there decided she needed the phone more than I did and stole it, then she disappeared! Since then I have spent hours and hours, with an untold number of reps and supervisors trying to resolve it after the se<strong><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/lake-siskiyou-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1208" title="Lake Siskiyou 2" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/lake-siskiyou-2.jpg?w=162&#038;h=218" alt="" width="162" height="218" /></a></strong>cond phone didn&#8217;t arrive. With each day of conversation another issue comes to the surface&#8230;.in all it has come down to corporate integrity in honoring what &#8220;was not recorded fro<strong></strong>m conversations and vague suggestions. After 4 hours on the phone from numerous disconnects and no return calls, a series of supervisors meaning well but stuck in the red tape and my continued request for correct integrity in all business transa<strong></strong>ctions&#8230;.today finally ended <em>with a new phone on its way</em> and a total of $100 in credits to acquiesce the inconveniences. I am and will continue to hold the vision of the pho<strong></strong>ne arriving and credits  being applied to my account!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Medical Vedic Astrology</strong></span><strong>  with Guest Vedic Astrologer  Laura Barat</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Recently I went through a couple of weeks of crazy itching and spider bites on my skin. At my wits end, I contacted my friend <a href="http://laurabarat.org/blog1/">Laura Barat </a>who specializes in Vedic Astrology. In a reading I had in March she asked if I had any skin issues, to which I responded No! This month they showed up!</p>
<p>Her response to the problem was mentioning that Mercury was afflicted in my chart this year, it is associated with skin problems and the sense of smell. As Mercury is also associate with communications I interrupted this situation to be telling me: (1) I needed to hydrate the body by drinking more water; (2) there was an imbalance in the harmonics of the location (web) I was living in; (3) it was pushing me out to leave, detox internally and externally, relax and tap into the creative juices once again.</p>
<p>As I thought other readers may be interested in learning more on this topic I asked Laura to give a short explanation on the Planets and the Elements in relation to Vedic Medical Astrology. Here are links to know more <a href="http://laurabarat.org/blog1/sample-page/">about Laura</a>  and research the topics on her site.</p>
<p>Vedic Astrology is based on the focus of the Moon&#8217;s placement at birth as opposed to Western Astrology that focuses on the Sun&#8217;s placement at birth. What I have found so very interesting when comparing readings of both versions over the years is that even though the beginning reference points are different, there are always overlaying confirmations of issues, traits, karma, personality, etc., only the interruption is unique to the practitioner.  As far as I am concerned, the more we can discover about ourselves, from many perspectives, ancient and modern, we are that much ahead of claiming and understanding one life more clearly.</p>
<p>Here is Laura&#8217;s description. (Note: for those new to Vedic/Sanskrit/Indian language some of the words in the beginning paragraphs will be confusing. If so, scroll down to the main three topics <em><strong>The Five Organs of Sense; The Five Organs of Action; The Five Objects of the Sense. </strong></em>When you feel more comfortable with the Vedic concepts, read more on  the introductions.<strong> </strong><em><strong><br />
</strong></em></p>
<h1 align="center">Planets and The Elements</h1>
<p>There are five elements or ‘Pancha Tattvas’ that are the causal form of Purusha and make up creation.  ‘Pancha’ means five and ‘Tattvas’ mean ‘true essences’.  These elements are Fire, Earth, Ether, Water and Air ruled by the planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, respectively, according to this sutra from Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra:</p>
<p><strong><em>“Fire, Earth, Ether, Water and Air, in that order, o’Twice Born, from Mars and the other Grahas in their order are the Tattvas.”</em></strong><em>   -BPHS:  Nature and Form of the Grahas, 20</em></p>
<p>The Vedas contain instructions on how to placate and worship the elements.  The <a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/sunset.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1212" title="sunset" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/sunset.jpg?w=165&#038;h=195" alt="" width="165" height="195" /></a>elements are actually the causal manifestation of Purusha that creates all that is.  The Elements came first and then the planets were born from the Elements.</p>
<p>Each of the Five Tattvas or Elements has a Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic quality.  The Sattvic qualities of the Elements manifests through the five senses.  Our senses are called ‘Organs of Knowledge’ in the Srimad Bhagavatam.  These organs of knowledge are necessary for our growth and evolution.  It is only through abuse by human beings that the senses have been given a bad name.  Since the senses are Sattvic, they have an elevating quality that will bring us closer to the Source if used properly.</p>
<h2>The Five Organs of Sense</h2>
<p>The Sattvic attributes of the Five Elements are the<strong> Organs of Sense.</strong>  They are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Ether</strong> is ruled by Jupiter and causes the <strong>Sense of Hearing.</strong> Through Hearing we acquire knowledge from Sound.  For a person to be able to hear, Ether must be present.  Conversely, for someone to have poor hearing, <strong>Jupiter</strong> must be afflicted in the horoscope.</p>
<p><strong>Air</strong> is ruled by<strong> Saturn</strong> and causes the <strong>Sense of Touch</strong>:  Through Touch we acquire knowledge from Tangibility. For a person to be able to feel touch and differentiate the object of touch, Air must be present. Conversely, for a person to not be able to feel or lack acquiring knowledge through touch, Saturn must be afflicted in the horoscope.</p>
<p><strong>Fire</strong> is ruled by<strong> Mars</strong> and causes the<strong> Sense of Sight.</strong>  Through Sight we acquire knowledge from Light and Colors.  For a person to be able to see, Fire must be present.  Conversely, Mars must be afflicted in a horoscope if the person has poor eyesight.</p>
<p><strong>Water</strong> is ruled by <strong>Venus</strong> and causes the <strong>Sense of Taste: </strong> Through Taste we acquire knowledge from Flavors.  For a person to be able to taste, Water must be present.  Conversely, Venus must be afflicted in the horoscope if a person has a poor sense of taste.</p>
<p><strong>Earth</strong> is ruled by <strong>Mercury</strong> and causes the <strong>Sense of Smell.</strong>  Through Smell we acquire knowledge of Odors.  For a person to be able to smell, the Element of Earth must be present.  Conversely, a person has a poor sense of smell if Mercury is afflicted in the horoscope.</p>
<p>Because the organs of sense are Sattvic, they are <strong>elevating in nature and pure when the organs of sense are working properly. </strong> They are Sattvic because one acquires knowledge through their organs of sense.</p>
<h2>The Five Organs of Action</h2>
<p>The Rajasic attributes of the Five Elements are the <strong>Organs of Action</strong>. They are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Fire</strong> is ruled by <strong>Mars</strong> and causes the <strong>Action of Motion</strong>.  Feet hold the primary power of motion, but all motion of the body is ruled by Mars.  Most motion is guided by Sight which is also ruled by Mars.  All motion must have fire, or in this case the electrical impulses carried by the nerves, which is ruled by Mars.  For a person to have afflicted motion Mars must be afflicted in a horoscope.  Notice how people with paralysis or partial paralysis cannot move, the electrical impulses are not carried along the nerves or the spinal cord.</p>
<p><strong>Earth</strong> is ruled by <strong>Mercury</strong> and causes the <strong>Action of Excretion</strong>.  The anus holds the primary power of excretion but all excretory actions are ruled by Mercury and the Earth Element.  Sweating is also considered to be excretory as well as acne.</p>
<p><strong>Ether</strong> is ruled by <strong>Jupiter</strong> which causes the <strong>Action of making Sound</strong>.  The power of Sound lies in the vocal chords.  If a person cannot use their vocal chords to make sound, then Jupiter must be afflicted in the horoscope.</p>
<p><strong>Water</strong> is ruled by <strong>Venus</strong> which causes the <strong>action of Generation</strong>.  The power of generation lies within the sexual organs, but it also lies within all tissues that can repair themselves.  Water and food, both ruled by Venus, satiate us after exertion.  These things give us recuperation.  Venus also rules ‘Virya’ which loosely translates as semen.  Venus rules the vitality in the body.  When Venus is afflicted in a horoscope, then it takes a long time for the person to recover after exercise or illness.</p>
<p><strong>Air</strong> is ruled by <strong>Saturn</strong> and causes the <strong>Action of Manual Skill</strong>, of which the power lies in the hands.  Manual dexterity is ruled by Saturn as is all manual labor.  Saturn rules the menial and when manual labor is a person’s profession, their caste is ruled by Saturn.  When a person has poor manual dexterity, then Saturn must be afflicted in the horoscope.</p>
<h2>The Five Objects of the Sense</h2>
<p>The objects of the senses are Tamasic, meaning <strong>they are obscuring.</strong>  The purpose of the five objects of sense is to<strong> satisfy the longings of the heart</strong>.  <strong>Jupiter as Ether produces space.</strong>    <strong>Saturn as Air produces gases</strong>.  <strong>Mars as Fire, produces fire, electricity and energy.</strong>  <strong>Venus as Water produces liquids</strong>.  <strong>Mercury as Earth produces solids.</strong>  Space, air, fire, liquids and solids can all be experienced by the senses.  The two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon rule over the Atman or Higher Self and the Jiva or Individual respectively.  The Higher Self and the Individual are the ones experiencing the objects of sense.</p>
<p>Fear, which is the great cause of all neurosis and psychosis, is the number one contributing factor to abusing the objects of sense and not feeling satiated and at peace.  When the desires are not satisfied within a certain time frame, the person begins to fear that they will not be satisfied, and will crave more satiation through another source.  This gives rise to many different desires cropping up that cannot be satisfied all at once.  So the person half-heartedly pursues many different desires which cannot all be satisfied in one lifetime.  The unmet desires are still manifest within the psyche when the person dies, so the consciousness must be reborn to satisfy the numerous desires.  The best course to take, to avoid acquiring numerous desires and having numerous longings is to concentrate the mind on satisfying one desire at a time.  Turn one’s whole attention on fulfilling one desire, then the psyche can find more peace and satisfy the desires of the heart.</p>
<p>I hope you have enjoyed this information and can apply it in your life.</p>
<p>Another posting tomorrow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>Why are they so important!</strong></p>
<p align="center"><em>This pivotal week includes <a href="http://www.calleman.com/">October 28 &#8211; Carl Calleman&#8217;s  </a>belief of the actual end date of the Mayan Calendar&#8230;&#8230;what will be presented and revealed&#8230;..will we change as people&#8230;..will time and the world stop&#8230;&#8230;will a star-gate appear&#8230;&#8230;so many unknowns&#8230;&#8230;So Much Mystery&#8230;&#8230;Such Wonder!</em></p>
<p align="center"><em>All is moving so fast and planning in the old way is pretty much redundant!</em></p>
<p align="center"><em>I will probably be sharing two or perhaps three blog entries within the next seven days or so. Stay turned&#8230;..#1 follows!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;" align="center"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Getting IT Right!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been on the spiritual path for years. I&#8217;ve meditated, gone to<br />
therapy, and attended dozens of workshops, seminars, satsangs, and<br />
retreats. But, I&#8217;m still not fundamentally different from when I<br />
started on the path. Sure, I&#8217;m more centered, present and calm, but<br />
I&#8217;m still challenged by many of the same emotional patterns. I<br />
still struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. I still don&#8217;t feel like<br />
I&#8217;m living on purpose. I&#8217;m still not deeply fulfilled. I&#8217;m still not<br />
free.&#8221;    </em>from Integral Enlightenment<em><br />
</em></span></p>
<p>The above quote comes from an email I received a few days ago. At first reading my reaction was pretty standard&#8230;yes that is true, are we no further along than ten, five, two, one year ago!</p>
<p>Then I started reflecting on the topic of this new blog, how to present it and what was its purpose – and BINGO&#8230;.It hit me so strongly and has kept being affirmed since them.</p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">WE – SPIRITUAL SEEKERS OF THE PAST DECADES&#8230;..WE HAVE NOT FAILED&#8230;&#8230;TO THE CONTRARY&#8230;&#8230;.WE HAVE SUCCEEDED BEYOND MEASURE AND THERE IS EVIDENCE OF THIS EVERYWHERE.</span></p>
<p>These opinions are but one thread within a huge and complex puzzle of life, society beliefs.</p>
<p>In my humble opinion: The Power holding onto, questioning, resisting and being executioner of planetary and conscious awakening is held within the Walls of the Grand and Elite educational and scientific research universities, think tanks and corporations across the world: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Oxford, Cambridge, plus dozens more.</p>
<p>The very intangible things we search for and desire to manifest in and through our lives and the lives of others are the exact same things that are dismissed as invalid and non quantifiable by those mentioned above. Structure, forms, layers and rationalism of the illusive only represent validity. In the follow dialogue some of this discomfort is expressed. Each reader, of course, will have their own opinion&#8230;.do you believe you have failed or succeeded? I am claiming just how much I have succeeded&#8230;.and are now motivated to go bigger!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Learning Curve</span></p>
<p>During the past five weeks I have been participating in a course relating to <a href="http://integralenlightenment.com/">Awakening the Evolutionary Impulse, Consciousness and Leadership</a> for moving, aligning and creating new pathways for Humanity in these new times.</p>
<p>There is a strong emphasis on meditation and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wilber">work of Ken Wilber,</a> Andrew Cohan and other academic spiritual leaders are recognized and focused on. It has been a good experience yet also challenged me by what is included and what I feel is missing.</p>
<p>The strong emphasis is on more accepted spiritual teachings coming from within the masculine, academic, structured, scientifically researched framework and any/most mentions of mystics, mystery and<strong> </strong><em>psychic </em>touched topics are often referred to as coming from lower mind and “if that is possible, real or similar dismissals.” It is becoming more prevalent these days that the “experts and authorities” of spiritual evolution are men&#8230;..the cutting edge women of the past five to ten years have moved from the limelight and are being replace by men. My concern is that the pendulum is going to swing too far off center once again. Yes there are plenty of women out there presenting their knowledge, often but not always, to women only or primarily.</p>
<p>Let me qualify that statement a bit more. I am not slighting men, in fact I am one of the first to always honor men who are sincerely seeking, it is powerful. In example, I am referring to the medical model of the past, up until the 80s-90s. Male doctors were always the absolute authorities of the female body and reproduction. The power of women to know themselves (our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers&#8230;.. ) was usurped, and in many cases and places, still is so! As we have now moved out of the past <a href="http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2011/03/RIR-110331.php">26,000 years of patriarchal energy</a> into an equal measure of matriarchal discovery  the realm of Spiritual Control is the place to continue dominance.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/siskiyou-bridge.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1192" title="Lake Siskiyou bridge" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/siskiyou-bridge.jpg?w=152&#038;h=173" alt="" width="152" height="173" /></a>Bridging the chasm means both meeting in the middle of the bridge, sharing equal balance/wisdom/fears/experiences/love/loss/life and then learning to walk off the bridge (to either side) stepping carefully in order for both to get off the bridge safely.    </em></p>
<p>From reading some of the course forum comments, I have picked up that there are many participants having trouble getting their heads around some of the information and how it is framed. This is naturally to be expected!</p>
<p>From my personal perspective the balance I find <a href="http://www.oprah.com/own-doc-club/Miss-Representation-Trailer?own">missing is of the <strong>feminine.</strong></a> Please note I have not used male and female, but masculine and feminine – which each man and woman has within them. Without the infusion of true creation, divine feminine senses and principles (intangible, unreal, mystery if you like) to align and balance the <strong>masculine</strong> form and structure then the so called <em>Integral Real World</em> models for politics, government, medicine, business, education, ecology, spirituality and consciousness, as suggested by Ken Wilbur (and others) in vast writings are missing links to open and access the new dimensional frequencies of which we have been waiting so long for.</p>
<p>Pulling apart, arguing and dismissing what I have written is fine for there are so many ways to look and describe this topic. Yet to be truly effective and represent integrative awareness it will be necessary for <em>a surrendering of the greatest academic, scientific and intellectual mind fears&#8230;..</em>..something’s will not, cannot and should not be “proven” as it ends up establishing  limits!</p>
<p>In an audio presentation specially prepared by <a href="http://wilber.shambhala.com/">Ken Wilber</a> for the course, I shuddered when reading and listening to it (at least this is what I think I understood) that one of the <strong><em>Prime Directives</em></strong><em> of <strong>Integral Spirituality and Religion</strong> is to break the main tenets of each world religion and belief system down into acceptable <strong>Rational</strong> descriptions and purposes so ALL can be understood and in turn end all jihads and wars and this will bring peace!</em>  This approach actually scares me hugely!</p>
<p><strong>Perfect Partnerships – This includes Personal Life as well! </strong></p>
<p>(This message was gifted to a powerful leader I am privileged to know.  It also seems perfect for all of us as well in light of the information above!)</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/thorn-stem.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1194" title="thorn stem" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/thorn-stem.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>High Mind and Alchemical Mystery are to be in balance and resonance of each other &#8230;..as the stem of the rose (High Pointed Mind) supports, protects, energizes and conducts the threads of life force and information necessary (and in right measure) for the blossom (Visioned </em></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><a href="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/monet-rose.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1195" title="monet-rose" src="http://earthspiritjourneys.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/monet-rose.jpg?w=150&#038;h=144" alt="" width="150" height="144" /></a></em></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em> Outcome) to emerge, grow, focus toward (sun) fully manifes</em></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>t and live and then slowly die/change form in order to make way for the new buds/blossoms (evolution) waiting yet hidden from sight within the protective stem. (Constant change/every new day!)       (New Leadership Paradigm &#8211; large and </em></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>small models alike!)</em></span></p>
<p>What I see and feel is when the Partnerships of High Minds of Academia, Science and Intelligence (masculine and feminine) meet, support and blend with Mystery, Mysticism, Creative Divine Essences beyond all forms yet infused with respect, knowing and education (feminine and masculine) – this will be the time of profound new information to be transmitted into the Consciousness of Humanity and Unity will be fulfilled.</p>
<p>There is great power and humility in agreeing to disagree and to listen deeply and respectfully when in great discomfort&#8230;.merging of mind and heart is the perfect prescription for conscious changing Peace, Awareness, Acceptance and Leadership.</p>
