Hello 2013!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE FROM DOWN UNDER!!

2012 ... What Did I Think???

For the record, I personally found 2012 one of the longest and most arduous years in living memory. It ended feeling like pulling out the proverbial reluctant wisdom tooth. I will not be sad to see it pass us by ...

The entire year was symbolised by continued petty attacks by so called 'professionals' in our pathetic excuse for an industry! I'm sorry to be so frank ... but some so called 'psychic mediums' have really pissed me off this year ...!

Our industry's reputation is really in shreds and tatters ... the ego dog fight this year has been awful. People we are supposed to be unified! We are supposed to be shining light and helping the troubled souls ... that was not 2012! It has been a year filled with moronic five minute wonders who went out of their way to 'throw the dirt in the hope some sticks' this year ... 

I've been thoroughly appalled by the total knee jerk childish actions of certain individuals ... the year has been awash with their underhand deceit and spite ... one such Psychic Medium peddles the crap that "I don't work with angels therefore be careful of him ...". No I DON'T work with angels ... its not my belief system! It's utter shit that because I don't work with the angelics I therefore work with dark magic ... but that has been the insinuation this year ...

I don't work with entities that have never been human or walked the earth ... NO. I work with ex-humans who have a sensible and grounded insight into life on our planet. I work with the departed family members of my clients who can provide me with 'non-flossy glossy' insights into the problems of my clients. I work with human consciousness that is very much realistic in the messages they provide to people. I do NOT work with entities that crave a human body; that mislead and deceive the naive ... entities that will say and do anything to get humans to give away their life force .... !!!!

2012 had its high points to match these lows ... the launch of my own cards, THE LIGHT OF TRUTH ORACLE took place in the latter part of the year. A project I began back in the 1980's with my very first piece of artwork. The entire Light Of Truth Oracle project was my own conception and invention. I'm very proud of what I have achieved this year with the cards and the divination system ... all the artwork is my own  (Except one which is a piece of my late fathers' which I needed to add to the system); all the meanings are my own creation too ... 

Many thanks to the countless clients I've had this year ... to my returning clientele who really delighted me with their wondrous feedback. This year has rated has one of the best for consistency and depth of connections with the other side. 2012 is most certainly a significant dimensional doorway ... the ease of connections this year has been incredible. The quality of the information has left me breathless at times ... not an easy feat to silence this old dog lol!

I have personally undergone a major vibrational adjustment through 2012 ... I have been totally aware of the shifts in the energy fields that are circling this planet ... some of the adjustments have been exciting ... others have been ridiculously painful both emotionally and physically. 

My hope for 2013 is that the ego driven 'psychic mediums' cease their pathetic actions ... so our industry can recover after their baby games this year ... somehow I don't think this is going to happen, sadly. Their ego's are damaged and threatened by exposure ... to their true faces being seen as they are not what they say they are ... 

For me ... what has started vibrationally in 2012 will most certainly continue through 2013 and 2014. It WAS what was predicted to me as a child, so I am very much aware of what lies ahead. The venom unleashed in 2012 by the plastic psychics did take me by surprise ... but not anymore ... 

'make sure you are wearing the correct foot gear when in hot pursuit of someone through terrain you are not familiar with' ...enough said ...

The end of the world came and went last week ... I didn't expect anything else in truth! 2012 ended being a total 'cheap thrill' year with all the Mayan bullshit and the build up to it. Meanwhile THEY have continued to take our personal freedoms away. There was increased chemtrail activity in our skies ... and a noticeable increase in health problems as a result ... more and more emphasis on the carbon footprint crap ... as the peddlers of the manufactured global warming scam still try to deceive us.

A high point for me was the colour imaging of Mars being made public. I quite enjoyed debunking the rather dubious pictures that were made available to the public. I AM a conspiracy theorist YES. But my view point regarding life on Mars has been with me since a child. Nothing will ever sway me from the facts ... we are not alone in this universe. Life is very much on Mars. I can't prove it scientifically ... but it matters not. My views on 'scientific proof' are usually a profusion of swear words anyway. My perception of reality is somewhat unique ... but it is one that is mine ... and it will not be swayed by bits of paper or sceptics who 'protest too much' ... 2012 has very much been as per the script I was given to me as a very young child. 

Believe me what begins to unfold in 2013 - 2018 will be very interesting to say the least!

Genetic Engineering and the GMO Industry: Corporate Hijacking of Food and Agriculture

Global Research: Given the amount of hormones, antibiotics, food additives, preservatives and colourings, artificial sweeteners, aluminium, sulphur, flavour enhancers and heavy metals being put into what we eat, is it any wonder that we are becoming sick? Severe anemia, permanent brain damage, Alzheimer’s, dementia, neurological disorders, reproductive problems, diminished intelligence, impaired immune system, behavioural disorders, cancers, hyperactivity and learning disability are just some of the diseases linked to our food. Of course, just like cigarettes and the tobacco industry before, trying to ‘prove’ the glaringly obvious link will take decades as deceit is passed off as ‘science’ or becomes institutionalized due to the hijacking of government bodies by the corporations involved in food production. In ‘GMOs Ticking Time Bomb’, Rima E Laibow, Medical Director of Natural Solutions Foundation, argues that every single independent study conducted on the impact of GMOs shows they damage organs and cause infertility, immune system failure, holes in the GI tract and multiple system failure when eaten. She argues that they cause a variety of changes, some of which we can’t even guess at as new proteins are coded due to altered DNA – some which we’ve never seen before. Laiblow concludes we are playing with genetic fire. Yet, they are on the commercial market in the US and elsewhere...read more>>>...

Could You Survive Being Sent To A FEMA Camp?

From The Trenches: It is widely known, that Obama is feverishly attempting to usher in the UN Gun Ban Treaty. If he is unable to ram it through Congress, as he is tried before, he is very likely codify gun control through executive order. When gun confiscation comes, it’s time for people like you and I to run for the hills because if you are caught and sent to a FEMA “re-education” camp, you are probably not coming out alive. Control of communications is also a necessary prerequisite to carry out tyranny against a civilian population. We know that the globalists corporations control 95% of the establishment media. So, that goal has already been accomplished. However the one medium of communication exchange not under the control of the New World Order, is the Internet. In the same proximity of time that we will see gun control introduced into American society on a widespread basis, one can expect the Internet to be taken down and tightly censored as it is in China. The New American Magazine has reported that Obama has given the codes to the DNS servers, for the Internet, to the United Nations. If this is correct, we are not going to have to wait long for this insanity to unfold. And of course, should all else fail, I don’t doubt for a second that this administration will not hesitate to roll out a false flag attack as a prelude to the declaration of martial law and seize American guns under this pretext...read more>>>...

Attention Lightworkers!

First posted on A Light In The Darkness on Thursday 19th January 2012: Attention all Lightworkers! This is an important post at this time. Over the last week many of us have become aware of some kind of negative attack on ourselves instigated by an unseen force! At first I thought it was just myself that was feeling an emotional distress over Sunday & Monday. However, I have since learnt that there are hundreds of lightworkers across the world who felt the same on those days. If you are reading this ... and felt ‘shitty’ over last weekend. With symptoms such as inexplicable depression & sorrow; dehydration; upset stomach in the solar plexus area – then take heed! You are currently under some form of negative psychic attack!
There has also been an alarming amount of arguments & displeasure within the ‘new age movement’ over recent days. Some serious negative influence appear to be at work here ... with dozens of gentle & caring souls being subjected to unprovoked attacks by fellow ‘lightworkers’. I’ve witnessed this here in Australia; but have had it brought to my attention it is taking place in the UK & in the USA...read more>>>...

Is Your Food Being Hit with a 'Healthy' Dose of Radiation?

S.O.T.T: We already know the U.S. government doesn't care enough about us to tell us whether we are eating genetically modified organisms - they've maintained their right to keep that fact from us, knowing that if we are armed with the knowledge, we might take down the huge GMO industry with the power of our purchasing dollar. In fact, just during the holiday break the FDA quietly pushed through GMO salmon toward the final acceptance process. But, what else do we not know?  If you believe GMO labeling is the only way the U.S. is flying under the radar with potentially dangerous food, you are sadly mistaken. In addition to the GMO-labeling controversy and the obvious promotion of Big Pharma over preventative, natural health, much of our food is given doses of the same stuff that destroyed Hiroshima and continues to wreak havoc on Fukushima - radiation. It's done in the name of food safety and preservation. Zapping foods with gamma-radiation is used as a method for sterilization, ridding food of harmful contaminants that may have arisen in potentially unsanitary mass-farming practices. It is also said to delay perishability, making the food last longer so it can be sent all over the world, increasing food globalization. But more than that, food radiation could be having unknown effects on our health....read more>>>...

On The Eve of Auld Lang Syne

New Year's Eve tomorrow! The last day of 2012 ... Time permitting, we might have a look back at this monumental of years. A chance to assess if this year lived up to all the build up of the last thirty years ... I remember being a school kid, back in the late 70's, when I first heard about '2012' ... here we are at the end of 2012 ... what are my own views on this year? Find out tomorrow ...

“Much can  be accomplished in a short space of time by realising the signs around you” 

The Chani Project

The Chani Project: During the years 1994 to 1999, a group of researchers from an organisation/corporation, which I will call RAND and Associates, or RA, had access to an underground CERN-like collider facility in Africa (the location is still classified). A contingent of AFRICOM security personnel was tasked with securing the base and, of course, keeping its location secret. The AFRICOM station commander made and supervised all the travel and accommodation arrangements for the team of researchers. They were closely watched 24/7.

Between those years, the researchers started receiving communications from an Entity who claimed to be from a parallel universe/dimension/timeline. A remarkable and groundbreaking interaction ensued. For a period of five years, researchers asked the Entity a series of over 20,000 questions and received answers to more than 95 per cent of questions asked.

There were other active projects running concurrently, like Space Time Fabricating, Simulation by Atom Replacement and Removal, Holographic Programming of Dark Matter, Manifestation of Quantum Energies and Associated String Programming with Ether/Etheric Interaction and a few more, but for the purpose of this article I will keep to the CHANI project only. (CHANI is an acronym for Channelled Holographic Access Network Interface.)

In reviewing the research notes for this article, all the above projects at one stage seemed to have had a turn in merging with the CHANI project and subject matter. One researcher commented: "This is an orgasmic interaction between science, theory and spiritual awareness."
In October 1999, technicians began a series of software and hardware upgrades to all the collider equipment and computer networks. The purpose was to get the system infrastructure Y2K compliant. It was soon apparent that the Y2K-compliant upgrades had a direct effect on the CHANI research project.

On 14 November 1999, contact with the Entity, which for five years was continuous and constant on a daily basis, was effectively lost. Months were spent trying to re-establish contact. It was not to be, and in April 2000 the research part of project CHANI came to an end...read more>>>...

Awakening part 1

Barbara Marciniak: "First Creator energy is now being made available to the planet, on a vast level, vast. It’s encircling the sphere. Light frequency is bombarding your planet, though only those who know how to use this energy can feel it. It is as if an invisible force is in your lives and if you are not aware of this invisible force, you will not see it. Now, if the awakeners approach the awakenees with love, with intent of service, with intent of changing the planetary potential, the planetary history, and also are willing to bond unconditionally with the awakenee, it will be successful. In most cases, those that need now to be awakened are working about this in their dream state and they are in a state of confusion in their waking world and so they are welcoming something that will give them greater power and direction. The awakenees will need guidance for a short amount of time because of the energy that is available [but] the knowings will happen very quickly, then they, too, [will awaken and empower others]. The more members, the greater members of humanity that are in knowing, the easier the times ahead will be"...read more>>>...

Two Days Left...

Well, here we are at the end of one of the most anticipated years of this century. A controversial number passed with ease - 21.12 ...you didn't think the world was really going to end did you? Did you? You weren't one of those gullible souls who spent this year encamped in fear?

I mean it was so obvious the Mayan 'thing' was a complete hoax Our countdown on here was a spoof look at our sad and sorry world. I never once believed the crazy end of world claims!

However ...

I am not saying 2012 hasn't been significant! It has. It is. My own year has been a strange one. Just like for many others out there.

Emotionally things are no longer the same. Energetically things are not the same. This dimension has shifted towards something else. Our awareness is somehow phasing into something else. I've mentioned all this before ...as well as the spiritual detox that so many of us are going through. This weekend I spoke with clients with the self same symptoms who have also seen their doctor about it. Once again nothing shows up in tests.

It's happening!

But what is happening you ask? I call it The Light Of Truth that is bombarding the earth plane with its energy. The age of light is here..and to be that which you truly are you must first lose that which you are not ...

I sense remnant energies of The Golden age are flowing around this planet. The THEY who control us do not want us to be free. They lose their slaves. Prepare for the time of mutiny and increased loses of freedom as we break free.

I did a brief meditation earlier. I felt the earth vibration before the arrival of the moon. Then came to very much aware of the 'moon pressure' that limits our true vibration. The moon has slowed the earth's vibration down into this mechanical enslaved vibration. The original vibration of the earth permitted true expression.

There is so much we have lost and so much to gain back ...exciting times are ahead.

The Unstoppable Liberation of Humanity

Before Its News: We’re undergoing an amazing transformation. Absolutely diametrically opposed to the constant, gradual attempt by elitists to shut down humanity via eons of engineered subjugation, we’re being consciously and vibrationally liberated by the very nature of the Universe in spite of all their efforts. It’s not readily apparent to most, but it’s very clearly there. It’s subtle and yet obvious at the same time. Knowledge of this change or shift in consciousness is experiential. It appears in the form of social trends and changes, but once someone crosses that threshold of awakening they’re already living in that new reality. To what degree it affects their lifestyle will of course vary from person to person, but change they will. As will the lives they in turn affect. And so it unfolds...read more>>>...

New Beginnings

"May the first light of being continue shining upon you;
that limitless and eternal light beyond, that illuminates all of creation"

We don't learn, we run programs

S.O.T.T: George W. Bush said it best when he warned us menacingly "you're either with us or you're against us". Of course, he was talking specifically about terrorism (or was he..?), but this statement defines almost every aspect of our lives today. The very worst in us has been nurtured, irrational fear based responses have been honed to perfection. We have been programmed to sniff out differences and to annihilate them as dangers to us personally, because after all, the system is us and we are the system. This happens completely automatically and is so insidious that it defies belief. We are programmed to conform. We are carefully trained to not experiment and we are most certainly encoded to defy logic and reason, with which we might actually come to our own conclusions and take responsibility for ourselves...read more>>>...

Useful Transformation

Daily Om: Transformation is a universal constant that affects our lives from the moment we are born until we leave earthly existence behind. At the root of all growth, we find change. Occasionally, change and the circumstances leading up to it are a source of extraordinary joy, but more often than not they provoke feelings of discomfort, fear, or pain. Though many changes are unavoidable, we should not believe that we are subject to the whims of an unpredictable universe. It is our response to those circumstances that will dictate the nature of our experiences. At the heart of every transformation, no matter how chaotic, there is substance. When we no longer resist change and instead regard it as an opportunity to grow, we find that we are far from helpless in the face of it. Our role as masters of our own destinies is cemented when we choose to make change work in our favor. Yet before we can truly internalize this power, we must accept that we cannot hide from the changes taking place all around us. Existence as we know it will come to an end at one or more points in our lives, making way for some new and perhaps unexpected mode of being. This transformation will take place whether or not we want it to, and so it is up to us to decide whether we will open our eyes to the blessings hidden amidst disorder or close ourselves off from opportunities hiding behind obstacles...read more>>>...

Spaceman Rock Painting

'Spaceman rock painting' found in the Kimberly region of Australia

S.O.T.T: The Bradshaw rock paintings, Bradshaw rock art, Bradshaw figures or The Bradshaws, are terms used to describe one of the two major regional traditions of rock art found in the north-west Kimberley region of Western Australia, first discovered and recorded by pastoralist Joseph Bradshaw in 1891 after whom they were named.

It isn't just this one extraordinary painting, it's all the evidence thats all over the world piling on to support this unreal claim that ancient astronauts visited our planet in our infancy. When you study Easter Island, the Pyramids of Giza, the Gazda Strip, the Sun Temple, or Tiahuanaco, youll come to the same conclusion. Tiahuanaco is especially convincing being that it is the oldest city in the world and drills were used to build it when the mainstream theory is that the native indians (that could barely communicate with each other) built this intricate city. All over the world at the very same time man was compelled to put this story on their walls. A story of beings coming down from the skies in machines and engaging in commerce with mankind...read more>>>...

The 'Reality' of Innerworld Contacts

A Light In The Darkness: Many people simply cannot accept that such entities or levels of existence are 'real'. Indeed, this debate over apparent reality is not confined to just materialist skeptic  it has tun through mystical speculation and magical philosophy for eons  ever since mankind first sought answers to the question of the nature of being. It must be stressed that 'innerworld contacts' are not mere formulations of group or individual psyche. Nor are they personifications or what can loosely be called metaphysical nonpersons. It is the imaginative approach which is the one and only secret of magic ... all other aspects can come with practice. Imagination is the power behind true magic. Imaginative insights are the key to opening the door on the innerworlds. Through imagination contact is made with these inner worlds. The magician employs images, personifications and archetypes ... which are the human interface for any relationship with energies which we may not face unveiled. This explains, therefore, the superficially hierarchical systems of magical symbolism or the devolution of divinity down to humanity. The linear quality is however an illusion borne of literary limitations ... true magical education is a practical and oral tradition....read more>>>...

Cleansing Sacred Spaces

A Light In The Darkness: Ok, here are some important things to consider before reading further;

1. Everything is energy. Humans, animals, minerals, plants, thoughts, emotions. All aspects of existence, no matter what it is … is the same energy.

2. When energy impacts an environment, it changes it. For good or bad --- it will change it.

3. Everything has some form of consciousness. Everything is a ‘spirit’ thought form. Created by higher forces to exist in the form that it is; to function in the form that it is; to interact it the way that it does.

4. You are part of everything else. What affects one part, affects all other parts.

5. Like attracts like.

6. Cleansing is healing.

From the above, you should glean the importance of cleansing the energy fields which make up you and your environment. Although we might not always be able to sense an energy imbalance; we are nevertheless affected by it. Some areas/buildings feel comfortable to us, while others may make us feel edgy, depressed or anxious to get out.

After there has been a heated argument in a room for example, the atmosphere may feel heavy and dismal. You may even begin to feel irritable yourself. This negative energy, if allowed to exist and even grow (like attracts like), can adversely affect all the inhabitants in that area. In your house, it can even make you, your family, your pets and your plants sick. It will actually make your house sick. Animals are especially vulnerable as they act as buffers for us, and will absorb this negativity until they get physically sick.

When we cleanse, we're replacing undesirable energy (aka negativity) with desirable or positive energy. Anything can be cleansed and probably should be from time to time..

If you do a cleansing ritual or procedure with anger or fear of the negativity you are trying to release, you will only exchange one kind of negativity for another. You gain nothing. Always enter into any cleansing process with an attitude of love. Negative energy is not bad or evil; it is simply energy that does not sustain you. Nothing is inherently evil --- it is our judgement of it that labels something good or bad.

There are numerous cleansing methods available...read more>>>...

Self Transformation

Llewellyn Worldwide: Obviously, “self-transformation” means to grow and change, to become different and better. To become more than ‘human.’ And it means you have to do it yourself; no one can really do it for you. Others may help with information and guidance, by providing favorable circumstance and environment, but this becoming super-human is your own life purpose.  No, we are not talking about a fantasy super-race. It’s not a matter of genetics, breeding, or even education. Education can help by providing a solid foundation that makes study and practice easier. Good ‘breeding’ in the old sense of childhood training and parental example helps provide the discipline and visionary capacity so valuable to the journey. Just as all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, so – in reality – is all transformation self-transformation. In either case, help can be provided by others – whether the voice of a hypnotist or the setting of a Golden Dawn ceremony. “Initiation” is another word for self-transformation. In a magical lodge, a stage setting can be provided, and a priest can transmit vision and energy, but if the student isn't ready, even the best teacher will fail. It’s the properly prepared student who is necessary, not the priest nor the setting. Humans are born to discover their own purpose in life – not to have a synthesized “approved” version programmed into them that more likely serves an institution in which the person is submerged. The education of a magician requires much more than the education of an engineer or medical physician because it really is the education of a human being readied for self-transformation beyond ordinary humanity into priesthood of men and women who are self-motivated, self-empowered, and – ultimately – self-transformed. Humans are born to become magicians...read more>>>...

The Importance of Spiritual Preparedness

Waking Times: If you “sense” that big changes are coming, you’re right. And consider this: You can physically prepare until you think you are nearly invincible, but you can lose it all in an instant. Social, political, or natural forces could disrupt or wipe out your preparations. Even the most powerful governments can’t withstand the forces of nature or acts of God. We aren't saying to ignore physical preparedness by any means. But everything can be taken from you, or destroyed, EXCEPT your consciousness, what you have made of yourself within, and what might be called your soul. So THAT should be our first priority when it comes to preparedness. Consider this: We will all die someday anyway, disasters or not, and again, spiritual (not religious) preparations will be all that matters then. Furthermore, we’re also not just talking about preparing yourself for some kind of possible “doomsday scenario” – we have our day to day lives to deal with right now. What kind of world do you want to live in now, in the future, or an “afterlife”? If you want to live in a kind, caring, loving, creative world, then you must have made yourself into that kind of person in order to belong in it. We aren't talking about religion; we’re talking about true spirituality. Things like – what kind of person you are – what you think you are – what you are aware of – what your personal “reality” is. True preparedness should cover all possibilities and improve our life even if nothing ever happens. Realizing the “real” you is not just a body, personality, or accumulation of memories and programming, is the first step. Becoming a true spiritual being (who just happens to be inhabiting a physical body right now), is the next step...read more>>>...

Centering Ourselves

Daily Om: When our thoughts are scattered in several directions at once and we are no longer conscious of what we are doing or why, it is time to center ourselves. When we center ourselves, we begin by acknowledging that we have become spread too thin and we are no longer unified inside. Our thoughts might be out of sync with our feelings, and our actions may be out of sync with both. The main signs that we need to center ourselves are scattered thoughts and a feeling of disconnection or numbness, as if we are no longer able to take anything in. In addition, we may feel unfocused and not present in our bodies. Centering ourselves is a way of coming to terms with all the different energies within us and drawing them back into ourselves. Centering yourself means that you are working from or being aware of the core of your being in the solar plexus area of your body. At first it may not make sense, but as you progress you will understand what this feels like. We naturally know how to center ourselves when we take a deep breath, for example, before making a big announcement or doing something big. Another way to center ourselves is to sit down and engage in breath meditation. We can start by simply getting into a comfortable upright position and noticing as our breath enters and leaves our bodies...read more>>>...

How Do We Know That What We See Is Real?

A Light In The Darkness: Suppose someone were to put electrodes in our brains and stimulate the visual part of our brains mimicking the impulses we normally receive. Would we see? Definitely we would. But we wouldn't be seeing what is there outside. We wouldn't be seeing what is real. We'd be seeing because some electricity was put in our brain, and it would look the same as our real objects! How do we know the science is true? Of course we can observe, but science tells us that we don't directly experience objects .. and just as we could be deceived by a wicked scientist putting electrodes in our brains, we could be deceived, in the same way, into thinking that science was 'real.'

Therefore, isn't it true that if we accept this scientific account then we cannot be certain that anything exists out there because we can never directly perceive it. Strangely, if this scientific theory is true we cannot prove it, because we can never perceive anything directly, so we do not know how and from where the experience came into our minds. Even our knowledge of eyes, nerves, bits of brain, is not direct but via electrical and chemical events in our brain!...read more>>>...

From The Emerald Tablets ... ...

Far in a past time, lost in the space time, the Children of Light looked down on the world. Seeing the children of men in their bondage, bound by the force that came from beyond. Knew they that only by freedom from bondage could man ever rise from the Earth to the Sun. Down they descended and created bodies, taking the semblance of men as their own. The Masters of everything said after their forming:

"We are they who were formed from the space-dust, partaking of life from the infinite ALL; living in the world as children of men, like and yet unlike the children of men."

Then for a dwelling place, far 'neath the earth crust, blasted great spaces they by their power, spaces apart from the children of men. Surrounded them by forces and power, shielded from harm they the Halls of the Dead.

Side by side then, placed they other spaces, filled them with Life and with Light from above. Builded they then the Halls of Amenti, that they might dwell eternally there,living with life to eternity's end .... read more ...

The Golden Rule

All over the world, there exists a simple precept that, when followed, has the power to end conflict and banish strife. It is the Golden Rule, a key concept in many philosophies and spiritualities that admonishes us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us.” Its meaning is clear: treat others only in ways that you would want to be treated. However, the golden rule is not always easy to follow. It can be a challenge to honour others as we wish to be honored. Yet, when we do so, we bestow a gift of loving kindness on our fellow human beings. And, in honoring others, we honour ourselves. It is as uncomplicated a tenet as one could wish for. When we live by it, harming another person becomes nearly impossible. The Golden Rule is rooted in pure empathy and does not compel us to perform any specific act. Rather, it gently guides us to never let our actions toward others be out of harmony with our own desires. The Golden Rule asks us to be aware of the effect our words and actions may have on another person and to imagine ourselves in their place. It calls on us to ask ourselves how we would feel if what we were about to do were directed toward us. And yet this rule invites us to do more than not harm others. It suggests that we look for opportunities to behave toward others in the same ways that we would want others to act toward us. Showing compassion, being considerate of others, caring for the less fortunate, and giving generously are what can result when you follow the Golden Rule. Adhering to the Golden Rule whenever possible can have a positive effect on the world around you because kindness begets kindness. In doing so, you generate a flow of positive energy that enfolds everyone you encounter in peace, goodwill, and harmony. (Daily Om 2008)

The Past in Light of the Present

When we look back at the past, knowing what we know now, we often find it difficult to understand how we made the mistakes we made. This is because once we learn new information, it is nearly impossible to re-enter the head space we were in before we learned that information. And so we look back at parents who spanked their kids, for example, and wonder how they could have thought that was a good idea. Similarly, our personal pasts are full of mistakes we can’t believe we made. We did things then that we would never do now, and this is precisely because we have information now that we didn't have, or weren't able to access, then.

From ideas about how to raise children to how to treat the environment, our collective human past sometimes reads like a document on what not to do. In many ways, this is exactly as it should be. We learn from living and having experiences. It is from these past actions that we garnered the information that guides us to live differently now. Just so, in our personal lives, we probably had to have a few unsuccessful relationships or jobs, learning about our negative tendencies through them, in order to gain the wisdom we have now.

In order to live more peacefully with the past, it helps to remember that once we know better, we tend to do better. Prior to knowing, we generally do our best, and while it’s true that from the perspective of the present, our best doesn't always seem good enough, we can at least give our past selves the benefit of the doubt. We did our best with what knowledge we had. Beyond this, we serve the greater good most effectively by not dwelling on the past, instead reigning our energy and knowledge into our present actions. It is here, in this moment, that we create our reality and ourselves anew, with our current knowledge and information.

Buddhist Inspiration for the Day

In today’s highly interdependent world, individuals and nations can no longer resolve many of their problems by themselves. We need one another. We must therefore develop a sense of universal responsibility . . . It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members, and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

Is the end nigh again? Mayans 'predicted the end of civilisation to take place on Christmas Eve'

Daily Mail: No sooner have predictions of one Mayan apocalypse passed by without incident, another has surfaced to keep the doomsday faithful believing. Just two days after the much-anticipated end of the world failed to materialise, one historian has re-ignited the debate by claiming that Armageddon could come tomorrow instead. Many apocalypse believers were left red-faced when the December 21 date they so publicly announced as the end went without a hitch. But Nikolai Grube, a leading expert in Mesoamerican advanced civilisations from the University of Bonn, believes interpretations of the Mayan calendar may actually be off by a few days....read more>>>...

Mediation - A Definition Of True Contact

In orthodox 'religion' Mediation is seen as a function of a priest or priestess, where a mediator is one who acts as an interface between divinity and humanity.

In magic, however, mediation has a far more precise meaning, based on the essential truth that all contain divinity or 'the original being' within us. All are also contained within the Being of the universe. In true mediation, any individual can reach deeply into the states of consciousness where transcendent entities can be met. Such entities can be aspects of divinity; god-forms or beings which have transcended human expression and no longer incarnate on this plane.

In mediation, a human acts as a 'focus' or 'gateway' for the consciousness of such transcendent entities. But know this is not the sole purpose or type of mediation found in the magical arts. Mediation is not a matter of passive reception, such as the cliched and superficial process of 20th century 'mediumship', but of clarifying and refining personal modes of awareness. When these higher modes are attuned to inner worlds or beings which are vital to magic, mediation may arise.

Mediation is not a matter of 'receiving messages'. If this was the case then it would be virtually valueless as higher modes of awareness and higher spiritual energies actually transcend verbal communication. A true mediator may be able to translate certain key images of the spiritual realms into words, but the mediator is more likely to act as a channel for a specific energy or power to flow out into the magical circle and more ultimately into the world. Therefore, an initiate working magic, such as rituals or visualisations, may become a mediator through the simple act of ritual pattern making and the controlled use of the imagination. In the magical arts, anyone making a sign, or chanting a mantra, or visualising a symbol, is mediating the power of being through specific and dynamic magical archetypal channels. The more powerful effects of mediation, however, are not usually developed without years of effort and deliberate control.

Thought for the Day

Are you aware of your inner critic? We all have this voice that tells us we are bad, stupid, clumsy, cowardly.... Although its intent is to help us succeed, the harsh self talk of our critic just serves to drain our energy and lower our morale and immune system.

To defuse the inner critic, we need to recognize when the critic is speaking. We need to know that this voice does not necessarily speak for who we really are. This is an old pattern that may no longer be serving us. We want to open to the possibility that the words are not likely true. We can ask ourselves, "Are these words helpful?" -- John Robson

The Quest for the Divine Language

Llewellyn Worldwide: From the very advent of the spoken word among humanity, language has been considered something sacred and magickal. To be able to share ideas between people was a powerful innovation, as was the ability to name and train our work animals, such as hunting and herding dogs. To know the true name of a person also granted some power over them: you might warn them away from danger or lure them into an ambush at your own will. As our legal systems became more sophisticated over time, the true name of a person (especially in the form of a signature) became a very powerful political tool—and it remains such to this day. Right from the start, language extended to (or we might say from) the spiritual realm. Some of our earliest words, and the hieroglyphs that represented them in writing, were received by shamans communing with their Patron Gods via ecstatic trance. And, of course, many of these words were applied as names for the spiritual forces of nature. Much like the hunting and herding dogs mentioned previously, knowing the true name of any given spirit—along with the words of command to which it would respond—was to have control over it. To this day, both the name and signature of a spirit is considered a necessity if the spirit is to be addressed or exorcised. By the time we reach the historical era, we find that language has already ceased to be a state-of-the-art technology, and has instead become a “wisdom from the past.” As both speech and writing became more common in the secular world, priests began to look toward languages of the past for sacred and magickal considerations. For example, the priests of Babylon used Sumerian—the language of their predecessors—as their sacred tongue. Likewise, the priests of any Egyptian dynasty were most interested in the hieroglyphics used by previous dynasties, which were of course engraved upon many ancient temples and monuments throughout the land...read more>>>...

Being Truly Thankful

Daily Om: Often when we practice being thankful, we go through the process of counting our blessings, acknowledging the wonderful people, things and places that make up our reality. While it is fine to be grateful for the good fortune we have accumulated, true thankfulness stems from a powerful comprehension of the gift of simply being alive, and when we feel it, we feel it regardless of our circumstances. In this deep state of gratitude, we recognize the purity of the experience of being, in and of itself, and our thankfulness is part and parcel of our awareness that we are one with this great mystery that is life. It is difficult for most of us to access this level of consciousness as we are very caught up in the ups and downs of our individual experiences in the world. The thing to remember about the world, though, is that it ebbs and flows, expands and contracts, gives and takes, and is by its very nature somewhat unreliable. If we only feel gratitude when it serves our desires, this is not true thankfulness. No one is exempt from the twists and turns of fate, which may, at any time, take the possessions, situations, and people we love away from us. Ironically, it is sometimes this kind of loss that awakens us to a thankfulness that goes deeper than just being grateful when things go our way. Illness and near-miss accidents can also serve as wake-up calls to the deeper realization that we are truly lucky to be alive...read more>>>...

Quote for the Day

"Higher consciousness, enLIGHTenment, comes from meaningful experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that there truly is only one law - the Law of Love. When one leads a life expressing this belief, the mind and heart begin to open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known." -- Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune

When The Truth Is Found To Be Lies

War Is Crime: In a time before video arcades there were penny arcades where, amidst the bustling arena of flashing lights and the clatter of games, we would come upon a gypsy figure inside a small booth encased in glass. A scratchy recording would invite us to stop and have our fortune told. Even though the lady was made of wood she gave the impression of being a real-life sorceress with the power to predict your future for the price of a nickel. The gypsy in the fancier models held a tarot card, and more often than not the card was The Fool. She seemed to know that if she spoke in mystifying generalities about falling in love and getting rich, it would be enough to satisfy the simple hopes and dreams of most fortune seekers. Despite all appearances she was no dummy...read more>>>...

Three Ways to Find an Animal Totem

Llewellyn Worldwide: Any animal species that has ever existed has a totem. (The same goes for plants, fungi, and the like, but we'll stick to the critters here.) Even better, we're not limited to working with just one totem. People often ask me, "How do I find my animal totem?," to which the response may be, "Well, which one?" Mind you, I'm not talking about a set number of totems. In my experience, we don't all have a template that we have to fill up with our own totemic menagerie. The nature and number of totemic relationships we have are unique to each of us. The most common way people find animal totems is through guided meditation. This usually involves traveling a path or down a tunnel that comes out into a place where you can meet your totem. (One example may be found here.) The benefits of this method are that you have enough structure to get you into a meditative state of mind, while having enough freedom to allow whatever totem wants to meet you to show up. But what other options are there, especially for those who may not want to grub around in metaphysical tunnels? A deck of totem cards is simple, but severely limits the potential range of totems that can come up (since there is just one totem per card, and you can only fit so many cards into a deck). Animal sightings in dreams and waking life may or may not have significance, but most of the time the former is a matter of your brain picking out animal symbols at random while you sleep, and the latter involves living animals going about their daily business without a care for any human's spiritual business. Your favorite animal isn't necessarily your totem, either; totems most often choose us, especially those who shake us out of our familiar comfort zones.

So what's an aspiring totemist to do? Here are a few possibilities that may work for you...read more>>>...

Sugar is a Drug

S.O.T.T: No one will argue the fact that heroin, morphine, and pain killers are highly addictive substances. They become addictive due to their ability to suppress pain, reduce anxiety, and can even cause us to have a higher sense of joy. There is another opiate that most of us consume on a daily basis that may be just as addicting, and that is sugar. Opioid receptors are located in the brain and the spinal column. They are 7 transmembrane-spanning, G protein-coupled receptors. They are responsible for aiding neurotransmitters and hormones, the most well known being our endorphins. Addictive substances work by enacting upon these receptor sites (Waldhoer, 2004). To further understand this, let us look at heroin addiction. Basically, heroin increases the amount of dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter responsible for energy, memory, and focus. Our system has a checks and balances process. When dopamine is released, we also release GABA to counteract it. The problem with heroin is it enacts upon the opioid receptor responsible for GABA. This disallows GABA to do its job. We are then left with a dopamine surge left unbalanced....read more>>>...

21/12/2012, Truth and the End of the World

S.O.T.T: The world is ending in 2012. That is, the final implementation of the fascist, totalitarian New World Order will be accomplished this year and you will be in that "New World" that the global elite have designed for you, and planned to implement for a very long time now. Oh, indeed, similar New World Orders have been staged in the past on smaller scales, but this time it's global because they are all in on it together! Former 'New World Orders' didn't really fail, even if they ostensibly fell; they've just been passing the torch around for millennia, spreading the disease, growing the sickness in society, until finally, now, with global communication and incredible weapons of destruction in their hands, they are ready to finalize the Faustian bargain that you, the people, signed with your blood. That's what 2012 is all about. It's not about some grand and glorious transformation or ascension to another existence! It's not about being 'raptured' to heaven at the right hand of Jesus because you helped to 'initiate the Eschaton'! It's not about 'Starseeds' being taken aboard spacecraft and getting airlifted to some other planet of the '5th dimension', but it is also not about 'life continuing on as normal'. Pure and simple, prophecy is coming true, it's just that it's going to be much more mundane and much less sensational than you might have imagined. It is the end of your world as normal, free human beings, and your reduction to pure grinding slave-hood, your children turned over to be sex toys or cannon fodder for psychopaths, and there's nothing you can do about it now...read more>>>...

What Is To Come Part 1

The Light Of Truth
Copyright Matthew James

Now we are post-21.12.12 ... things are really going to hot up vibrationally. The dimensional doorway has swung open wide ... and those sensitives who have woken and have passed 'the truth test' can now wander through.

Be prepared, however, for an etheric body detox. Emotions out of synce. Body sugars & mineral intake out of sync. Dehydration. Sore neck and sinuses. Tiredness. Anger. Sadness. Insomnia ...

There will be a time of great awakening for those coming out of their somnambulist state ...

NO wonder there is such a high influx of 'psychic workers' at this time ... awakening and trying to hit the ground running. It will not be their time yet ... they must be prepared adequately for 'the truth test' .... walking through too soon will develop an over weighted ego ... for it can only be TRUE selves that can make the dimensional shift ...

Those spiritual travellers born in the period 1955 - 1965 ... have been acclimatised for the coming changes. There are many, many of the leaders & teachers, of the coming transformation, within the thousands of souls who were born in this period ... and have chosen 'the harshest experiences' path way ... and have spent four or five decades in pain and sorrow; their lives seemingly never going right; keeping to the shadows; finding the glamours of materialism to be very painful; always finding the worst experiences to be their lives experiences. They have gained understanding - 2012 giving clarity and comfort. They have been primed for the next decade ... and have been prepared for what is to come - Matthew James 22/12/12

First World Saga

There is an entire epic saga encoded into this image, provided to me by an long forgotten ancient force that arrived in a place a great distance to their own ... lights shining in the darkness. A highly evolved race who entered a new dimension, becoming trapped ... devolving themselves within this entombing dimension ... in order to survive .... in order to gain evolution once more to escape and return to their place in time. An entire race's memory is recorded in this image somehow. For these are the very words given to me by the kindly mind that aided me in the crafting of this primitive image. In much the same way similar minds helped to craft the artwork in our ancient world. Their collective seeds are scattered throughout our galaxy ... memories surviving a mighty calamity which rocked this side of the great void sometime before we arrived like them ... a fully evolved mind curious of this dimension... we like them have been forced to forget our lights and our heritage....

Everything is a reflection. A distortion of the vision. They made this clear to me. Our senses read the distortion field in opposite and as a flip side to what is beyond our sensory field. Effectively we stand on our heads in the cosmic field and try to see it as it really is. We are in constant confusion. They were just the same until they realised. It is so simple ... child's play this computer construct. Yet we as humans make it so damn complicated. We question and are logical in all we do ... yet the universe just is. It never questions. It merely exists and accepts. It never condemns or seeks an answer. Because it knows. Because it knows it need not question. It is part of it all ... and knows its part. They knew their part and thus returned back up the evolutionary ladder. We are lost thus we flounder. We have forgotten thus we plummet and fall ... and kept falling. We cannot fall any more - MJ 30/12/11

We survived! Deadline passes for 'end of the world' without raining fire or killer earthquakes - so we'll just let the Mayans get on with it

Daily Mail: Phew! You can let out your breath now - the earth is still safely on its sphere despite Doomsdayer predictions of an impending apocalypse to coincide with the end of the Mayan age. The human race has successfully navigated the 11.11am deadline on 21.12.12 - at least it appears so with no reports of the globe being besieged by raining fire or killer earthquakes. For centuries, the ending of the Mayan calendar, which occurs today, has been taken as a sign of an impending Armageddon. But now there may be a few sheepish looks in a corner of south-east France, which was cited as the only safe spot, unless of course that UFO did turn up and they just haven't told us about it....read more>>>...

Sandy Hook massacre: Evidence of official foreknowledge?

S.O.T.T: Who exactly is this 'law enforcement official' that has access to the premier news agency in the country, and on behalf of which state agency does he/she work for?  How did they even know at this point that Ryan had a younger 20-year-old brother when there are no public records of Adam Lanza since 2009 and the two brothers had not seen each other since 2010, as claimed by Ryan? How could they have known on Friday morning that Ryan had a girlfriend and that she and another friend were missing in New Jersey? How did they even know that Ryan had any connection to New Jersey at all? The Lanzas' mother was dead at this point and their father only found out later through a reporter asking him about Adam, who had by then become the 'lone gunman' in the official narrative. Surely the first point on the timeline at which anyone can even begin to discover these things about Ryan is the moment he piped up on Facebook and said "Hi, I'm alive, I didn't do it, and I live and work down here in New Jersey!" How could 'law enforcement officials' have pieced together details of his life but not known that he was actually still alive in the very location where they stated that his girlfriend had gone missing? The only way they could have found out all this about Ryan Lanza was if they had 100% positively identified him as the 'dead gunman inside the building', then worked backwards from there by investigating who his next of kin were, then questioning family members, then discovering where he lived and worked, that he had a girlfriend and that she and a friend were missing, etc...read more>>>...
