Introducing Etheric Body Attunement

When the universe itself is held up by one cog in the wheel, it will make this fact apparent to that cog in the wheel. If you think that you, as one lowly mortal on a lonely manifest plane world, are not important. Think again. We are all parts of the whole, and when one of those parts drags its feet, the universe comes knocking!

I've been contemplating the Fire Letter experience ever since it occurred back in 2002. I've been supposed to do something about it ever since. Until now I've had no idea what ...

And then the lightbulb moment ... Etheric Body Attunement. The purple fire letter Yod was my attunement by a higher force. My recovery from serious illness the indication there is a strong energy within me alive. 

It's time to develop my own healing modality. My accuracy as a Medical Intuitive with my M.I scanning through voice vibration is part and parcel of this new technique ...

A Word on The Etheric Body

You are more than the physical body that you sense. Your mind, emotions, and soul have their own bodies. These bodies are distinct from yet connected to your physical body. You have many bodies. Highly sensitive people have always been able to perceive one or more of these nonphysical bodies.

The Etheric Body gives vitality, health, life and organization to the Physical Body. It attunes our consciousness to the principle of Energy. It steps energies from the higher bodies down into our physical consciousness. An awareness of various types of subtle energy moving through the Physical Body and in the environment. Subtle/etheric energy can be seen as well as felt.

The Etheric Body is the subtle level of the Physical Body. It is composed of various energies such as electromagnetic, chi, prana, ki, vitality, etc. It is also composed of subatomic particles, the finest of which are quarks. It glows overall with color variations in the range of blue to violet to silver.

The Etheric Body has a figure form in the same shape as the Physical Body. This figure form is made of numerous energy channels called nadis or meridians. (Energy Reality)

An Experiment in Gratitude

Daily OM: Sometimes we forget to take the time to recognize the richness that defines our lives. This may be because many of the messages we encounter as we go about our affairs prompt us to think about what we don’t have rather than all the abundance we do enjoy. Consequently, our gratitude exists in perpetual conflict with our desire for more, whether we crave time, convenience, wealth, or enlightenment. Yet understanding and truly appreciating our blessings can be as simple as walking a mile in another’s shoes for a short period of time. Because many of us lead comparatively insular lives, we may not comprehend the full scope of our prosperity that is relative to our sisters and brothers in humanity.

If you find taking an inventory of your life’s blessings difficult, consider the ease with which you nourish your body and mind, feed your family, move from place to place, and attend to tasks at hand. For a great number of people, activities you may take for granted, such as attaining an education, buying healthy food, commuting to work, or keeping a clean house, represent great challenges. To experience firsthand the complex tests others face as a matter of course in their daily lives, try living without the amenities you most often take for granted...read more>>>...

Greeting the Divine Spirit

Daily Om: Bowing is a universal gesture of respect and reverence. In many cultures, it is the predominant form of social greeting, and most religions incorporate it into their rituals of worship. In many cases, bowing signifies not only respect but also an acknowledgment of the shared divinity between the bower and the recipient. Bowing can also be a turning in toward our own divinity when we bow our heads in prayer, contemplation, or meditation. Bows range in form from a slight forward nod of the head to a full body prostration on the ground, and range in meaning from a simple greeting to a complete giving over of the self to the divine.

If you have ever bowed or been on the receiving end of a bow, you know that it is different from a handshake or a hug. Bowing has the quality of consciously evoking spirit and conveys a sense of reverence for the people involved. The word “Namaste,” which accompanies bowing in yoga, actually translates as “The divine spirit in me acknowledges the divine spirit in you.”...read more>>>...

A Traveller's Guide To The Tree Of LIfe

Remember to take each path gently. Each and every path should be trodden many times, and in different frames of mind. Over time they will begin to transform and modify themselves to become more personal to you. 

The spheres at each end of the paths are much like way-stations - places to start and stop a journey. In order to experience The Tree Of Life as most beneficially as possible, it is important to merely observe the scenery in the early stages. During the workshop for example. Leave it a week or two before immersing yourself deeper into the concepts. Plenty of links to reference material is included with these notes, should you choose to take deeper in roads into the Kabbalah. 

To truly appreciate the Tree Of Life it is necessary for you to exercise discretion and discrimination. To tread the paths is to feel the impact of the timeless teachings that have inspired them. Remember the Tree Of Life is a magical system which has been written on the aethers over many centuries. It is a system that DOES have an effect on the sub-conscious frameworks. 

SIMPLE TIPS: 
1. Make sure you are not disturbed during your pathworkings. This is important. 
2. Begin and end the session at the same location. 
3. As you walk each path, take note of what you see and record it on your return. Try not to impose what you WANT to see, but let the path reveal itself to you. If you find yourself seeing something before it is described in the narration, relax, it means you are walking the ascribed path. 
4. Remember, these are not trips to Disneyland so take them seriously! 
5. At the end of each session make sure you have a hot drink and a light snack to help you close down firmly. 
6. You will NOT get attacked on any of these paths. Each pathway is protected.

People in Need

Daily Om: When we see a person in need, we may want to give them something as a way of helping them, but if we give without taking the time to see who they really are, honoring that most of all, our gift is nowhere near as powerful as it could be. We may want to give a homeless person a sandwich, for example, but if we give it without also taking a moment to look the person in the eye, making authentic contact, we rob them of the experience of being human. Being in a position of need leaves a lot of people feeling vulnerable and full of self-doubt. The greatest gift we can give is to meet people in need without judgment and with the awareness that we are not superior to them simply because we are not currently in their position. If we take the long view, we can see that we all began life in need of a lot of care and attention, and many of us end life in the same way...read more>>>...

The Rising Sign

The Rising sign is known as the mask of the persona, and the first impression we make on those we meet. It could be said that the qualities of the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon imprints on the outer self as we emerge into the world. After that, each time we encounter a new situation or person, this is the "face" we reveal. If you've ever been puzzled by how others describe you, it could be that they've encountered the Rising sign qualities. It's the image facing outward, and might not be how you see yourself at all. It is the front door of the self, but as much a part of the personality as the Sun sign. The Rising sign deals with First House issues like appearance and personality, and can even influence physical characteristics. If the Sun is the core self, taking action in the world, the Rising sign is the vehicle with which to do it....read more>>>...

"There is nothing to fear but fear."

"There is nothing to fear but fear." -Ludwig Boerne (1786-1837)

Fear is defined as an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger, a state marked by this emotion.  Also fear, dread, fright, alarm, panic, trepidation.  As if this wasn't bad enough, fear is actually much worse than this...fear is what keeps us from being and  becoming whole human beings.  You can dress fear up in any one of a number of outfits, you can call it anger, grief, rage, jealousy, depression...but fear is still fear - it is any negative emotion that keeps you from being the best you can be. 

Fear is the opposite of love and a negative emotion that you   need to eliminate from your life.  Fear never kept your safe, not one moment of your life, and it's a terrible way to live. 

One method of  facing your fear, whatever it is, is to fully go into it - feel it - think about how it would feel to do the thing you fear, or how you would cope with the loss of a loved one, or what's the worst that would happen if you spoke up to the person who's been pushing you around.  Whatever it is that you fear...go into it...feel it...and come out the other side of your fear.  Once you start to face your fears and try to come out on the other side of them, the next thing to do is to force yourself to take some low-risk chances.  

Challenge yourself, and with every low-risk challenge you take, your fear will start to fall away.  Even if you don't succeed, your confidence and self-esteem will rise with every risk you take.  The only thing you risk is failure, and it's not even failing if you take a chance.  When you confront your fears you have nothing to lose but fear...what a wonderfully freeing concept!

What is your deepest fear? Or fears? Are you ready to face them … do you know how to face them?   

The theory bit is that … scientists tell us that the journey we build in our mind is as real to the brain as our dail experiences. The world of the subconscious mind is a real world with real      beings. The water is just as wet, the sun is just as hot. The only difference is that we can do things in that world we cannot do in this world. Why? Because in the inner world we admit to no      barriers. We use the same powers and senses we have in the real world, but there we believe in them. We think we are dreaming, but it IS real and can use the finer matter of that world to change this one

Extract Taken From The Art Of Creative Visualisation Workshop notes by Matthew James 

The Power of the Conditioned Mind

Waking Times: The society and culture in which you have grown up programmed those fixed patterns of the mind into you, and your identity who you are and what your job is in this world, is based upon those patterns. These systematic patterns of thoughts, programmed into you by your parents and teachers are deeply embedded into your mind and subconscious by the psychological mechanisms of identification, and they automatically surface every now and then. Whether you like it or not, these thoughts come and go, your mind is in constant motion. These patterns strive to be self-sustaining, and they generate the work of mind. The result is the cobweb of thoughts with which you identify and that is how you live your life...read more>>>...

The Lake District Beauty Spots To Be Sold Off

Westmoreland Gazette: Beauty spots in the heart of the Lake District are to be sold-off by the national park authority, including the 'iconic' Stickle Tarn at Langdale. Significant budget cuts have forced the authority to re-evaluate its assets, prompting the controversial sales. Chief executive Richard Leafe is adamant access and maintenance will not be affected and the authority's strict planning regulations will still apply to the new owners. However, he refused to rule out further land sales across the national park, including the Lake District's third highest mountain, Helvellyn.

Some councillors and local residents fear that selling-off more than 100 acres will have negative connotations such as:

- Public access may be restricted

- Maintenance of the land may not be handled properly

- Privatisation may prevent the Lake District becoming a World Heritage Site

- Wealthy buyers may try to build on the land... read more>>>...

Accepting Yourself

Daily OM: There is no such thing as a good person or a bad person. There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves. When we do this, we feel bad—uneasy, unhappy, unsure. We might go so far as to label ourselves “bad” when a situation like this arises. Instead of labeling ourselves, though, we could simply acknowledge that we made a choice that lead us down a particular path, and then let it go, forgiving ourselves and preparing for our next opportunity to choose, and act, in ways that support our best intentions. Many of us experienced childhoods in which the words good and bad were used as weapons to control us—you were good if you did what you were told and bad if you didn’t. This kind of discipline undermines a person’s ability to find their own moral center and to trust and be guided by their own inner self ... read more>>>...

Scientists store data inside DNA that could last MILLIONS of years

Daily Mail: Just one gram of DNA can store the equivalent of 14,000 Blu-ray discs. But although the potential for DNA as an alternative to hard drives has been known about for years, it is not the most reliable and secure way to keep data safe. The latest breakthrough could be about to change that, however. Chemists subjected spheres of DNA to extreme temperatures designed to mimic chemical degradation and found the material - and the data stored on it - could be successfully decoded. The research was led by Robert Grass from ETH Zurich's Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences. 'DNA lends itself to this task as it can store large amounts of information in a compact manner,' said the researchers. Unfortunately, the data is not always retrievable error-free: gaps and false information in the encoded data arise through chemical degradation and mistakes in DNA sequencing.' ... read more>>>...

Unlimited War! ISIS Psyop Theater Comes to Full Fruition

Activist Post: The CIA and the U.S. Military Industrial Complex have now invested over 6 months of ISIS branding, promotion, and public relations. It was revealed by early January of 2015 that the U.S. had already dumped over one billion dollars to fight ISIS. All supposedly invested in failed air strikes and un-televised secret battles against ISIS where the U.S. ends up attacking Syrian targets instead. The ISIS psyop has been worked on so hard by the architects of the plan that now we are seeing the final desired political goals of the entire operation - an operation which has become more of a global theater. The ISIS psyop theater is now coming to fruition and the globalists are speaking loud and clear about what they want, which is really an admission to why they concocted the ISIS psyop to begin with. They want the authorization to use "unlimited" military "force" wherever they want, whenever they want and (of course) on WHO-ever they want to use it on. Isn't this a tyrannical empire's dream come true? And with this revelation the romance between ISIS and CIA/US/Israel and the other NATO ISIS partners is now fully exposed to anyone willing to see it for what it is.

For over 6 months Americans and people all over the world who still retain their normal critical thinking skills have been subjected to painfully sloppy fake ISIS videos, heavily scripted news reports verbally dictating to us accounts of supposed battles against ISIS. All along, as the months go by, ISIS has not been affected at all by anything the U.S. and its pro-ISIS allies have done. If anything, they keep telling us that ISIS continues to grow...read more>>>...

THE HENGE by Matthew James 2014

Entering The Metaphysical Plane and Programming The Sub-Conscious Mind

The Metaphysical Plane is the realm of shadows that can be seen with the mind's eye. It is a colourful realm where the only limit is your own mental creativity as compared to your energy level. Just beyond the Metaphysical Plane lies the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane is the realm of shadows that must be felt. In an astral body, you are not a visible 'image' as much as a blur of energy. These are realms where thoughts and ideas become manifest … where thoughts become actions which become a manifested creation. The trick is to determine how to control your thoughts, to focus that energy on what you wish to create and then have the intention, and the discipline to make it manifest.

This is ‘the secret’ behind The Secret. The secret behind the Law Of Abundance and the Law Of Attraction. It is all dependant on your ability to program your sub-conscious mind. As an adept magician you must learn to BELIEVE … to accept that anything and everything is possible. So whenever you venture into the inner planes … you must totally BELIEVE what you are seeing and experiencing as being real. During the inner journeys you are actually programming your sub-conscious mind … that is what real magick is all about!

Praying Mantis Totem

Praying Mantis medicine is about the creative process of becoming. Personal and direct kinship with everything and everyone is the very process of life itself. Has modern life made you feel overly critical, analytical, isolated and powerless? Can you say that you know yourself, or are truly known by another, your community, or by the creatures and plants where you live? Feeling yourself to be yourself, you could commit to a daily practice of meditation, facilitating knowing and accepting yourself in the stillness of the dreamtime, thereby experiencing oneness with yourself and kinship with all beings. Call upon Mantis to help you live a life of universal kinship. Then, wherever you go on earth, home will always be with you, in you. (Wisdom Magazine)

Gladdening Nourishment

Daily Om: Children appreciate all that is silly as a matter of course. Their grasp of humor is instinctual, and even the smallest absurdities provoke joyous gales of earnest laughter. As we age, this innate ability to see the value of silliness can diminish. Work takes precedence over play, and we have less incentive to exercise our imaginative minds by focusing on what is humorous. When we remember childhood, we may recall the pleasures of donning funny costumes, reciting nonsense poems, making up strange games, or playing pretend. This unabashed silliness nourished our vitality and creativity. We can take in this nourishment once again by giving ourselves permission to lighten up and be silly. Too often we reject the wonderful silliness that is an inherent, inborn aspect of the self because we believe that it serves no purpose or is at odds with the grown-up culture of maturity. We play yet we do not lose ourselves in play, and our imaginations are never truly given free reign because we regard the products of irrational creativity as being valueless. Yet silliness itself does indeed constitute a vital part of human existence on a myriad of levels...read more>>>...

Blue Skies

Daily OM: When we refer to a “beautiful day,” we are often describing a day that is sunny, clear, and without a cloud in sight to mar a sky that is a brilliantly perfect blue. We find ourselves bouncing along, light in spirit, free from worries, and enjoying the moment. That is, until the clouds begin to form. The sky may turn grey, and a fog may roll in. Puffs of white take on whimsical, darker shades, and our beautiful day disappears along with the sunshine… or so it seems. A clear blue sky often inspires in us good cheer, bringing on a lighter, more carefree day. We may find ourselves spending time outdoors, breathing in the fresh air, and basking in the warmth of the sun. Yet should clouds appear to wash the sky with shadows, we may let this change of weather decrease our energy and enthusiasm, pulling us into our own cloudy funk. Darker days are just as much a part of life as are the days graced with sunshine...read more>>>...

GMOs invade fruit industry: Apples, pears, cherries and peaches to all become unlabeled GMO

Natural News: Genetically modified apples have been approved by the industry-corrupted USDA, a federal regulator that accomplishes for the biotech industry the same thing the FDA achieves for Big Pharma: unlimited profits, lax regulation and a ready willingness to accept fabricated "science" as fact.

The USDA has neglected to look at the full range of risks from these apples. In its environmental assessment, the USDA glossed over the possibility of unintentional effects associated with the technology used to engineer these apples, potential economic impacts on the U.S. and international apple market, effects of potential contamination for non-GMO and organic apple growers and the impact of the non-browning gene silencing which also can weaken plant defenses and plant healthhttp://www.naturalnews.com

Vulture Totem Animal

Vulture Totem medicine is an indicator that you now have an understanding of how to use your own life force energy powerfully and efficiently. With this realisation comes the ability to see auras and colour frequency fields around people, and animals, by accessing higher vision. You have also developed the art of patience as a means to an end.  You now are able to go with the flow with life's situations and are fiercely protective of those you feel responsible for. You have keen insight into most situations.

Body Language

Daily OM: So much can be revealed to us when we listen to the language of our bodies. Our bodies are always speaking, sending us messages through the way we move, the sensations that arise from within, and the gestures and expressions that we make when we are communicating with others. Tuning in to the language of our bodies can be very enlightening, especially as most communication is believed to take place nonverbally. It is also believed that the body never lies, and that if we want to know the truth about ourselves and others, then we should listen to what our bodies have to say. Anyone who has ever flirted with someone they are attracted to has probably, at one point in time or another, brushed their hands through their hair or found themselves leaning forward to get closer to that person. Someone feeling defensive will tend to cross their arms over their chest, while a person who wants to withhold something may look away when speaking...read more>>>...

Thought for the Day

"Remember, what you think is what you are. What you are is what you once created to become. To become something other than what you currently are, you must think differently and change those patterns of thought that have constructed you"- Matthew James

A Word on Flame Script

Hebrew Fire Letters, in particular, serve as a specified conduit connecting our physical plane on Earth to Heaven-and the Higher Dimensions of Light. Fire Letters are an ancient angelic alphabet called a Flame Script. Examples of alphabets of a Flamed Script (with higher vibrations) that contain Fire Letters are: Hebrew, Tibetan, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Egyptian. It is a language of higher consciousness and a language of creation. The Letters emit the highest vibrations in existence.

The Hebrew flame script operates to speed up the chemistry of our DNA/RNA matrix. They have triggering mechanisms that awaken memory in your DNA and THEY EVOLVE CREATION. Humanity itself is God’s sacred geometry of a divine language system of divine Fire Letters.

Languages of Light, Sacred Geometry, Sacred Names, DNA and the Fire Letters

God, The Elohim, or the Infinite Mind, used pictographs for instant communication, to code us with knowledge. These languages come from a core memory of information that’s shared by the higher spiritual levels of existence.

Our ancestors, whether they were angelic or from other planetary systems, recognized that sound, resonance and geometric form as expressions of communication with the super-consciousness. They applied these harmonics everywhere…in daily life, in temples, cathedrals, stone circles and pyramids. Every place where they felt the need to sanctify was adorned with and included geometric form, sound and resonance. As they sanctified these places, their future practices became trans-mutational points for the soul and the human body to grow and evolve. Even today, the geometric forms, such as the crop circles are able to interact with people to generate healing, evolve and expand our consciousness rapidly.

Higher intelligences even now are using geometric forms to communicate with us in the form of crop circles. They have been found in 29 countries across the earth. In particular, crop circles, when created; embed into a location certain vibratory frequencies intended to affect the population energetically in very specific ways...read more>>>...

A Soul Numerology Cusp & The Three Pillars

Sample Soul Numerology Chart

The Soul Numerology CUSP is effectively a period in the calendar year where the effects of both the preceding year of the Nine Year Numerology cycle, and the forthcoming year, will be experienced at the same time.  

Because the Soul Numerology Years run from March to March each year, and the Soul Numerology is based on the old Lunar 10 month cycle, the cusp months are the January and February of every year. 

The Cusp Years are almost always transitional and help to explain why so many of us have ‘strange’ January & February months. 

Effectively our minds try to multi-task in these months as the soul prepares to cross from one cycle of experience to the next. 2014 was all about ‘blind purpose’ and ‘blind ambition’ as our souls appeared to have some inbuilt task to perform during 2014; the number 4 being a number of achievement and compulsion. The 2015 year is all about rest and recovery; the number 5 being a number of rest and frustration. 

The sample chart above shows a Soul Numerology chart for a client with the date of birth of 2nd June, which places the client in a 6 YEAR VIBRATION for 2014 and a 7 YEAR VIBRATION for 2015. January & February 2015 places them in a combination of the 6 and the 7 vibration until March 1st 2015.

The numbers missing from the Soul Numerology Chart play an interesting role in our lives too. They usually represent ‘that which needs to be learnt through life experiences’. The above charts are made up of three vertical pillars. On the left is what is called ‘The Pillar of Logic’ and the pillar on the right is that of ‘The Pillar of Inspiration’. The middle pillar is called ‘The Pillar Of Stability’. 

On a personal level, if the right pillar – The Pillar of Inspiration – is devoid of any numbers in your chart, as shown above, it will generally indicate someone who is too logical in their thought processes. Someone who finds it hard to be inspirational, or is unable to think outside of the box of perceptions. Often easily controlled by the opinion of others, or by the expectations of life around them.

British police take 67 return flights to Portugal as cost of Madeleine McCann search nears £9million

Daily Mail: British police searching for missing Madeleine McCann spent £16,000 on 67 return flights to Portugal last year, helping the cost of the investigation to soar to nearly £9million. The trips, which cost more than £1,300 per month, came as the Met Police carried out the biggest ever search undertaken by a team of British police overseas, in a bid to find clues about the young girl's disappearance. In June, police flew to the Algarve to carry out forensic searches around Praia da Luz, focusing on scrubland a few hundred metres from the apartment block where Madeleine was last seen alive. But, despite an intensive eight-day search operation involving scores of officers carrying out ground excavations, police failed to find any clues.

According to figures released under a Freedom of Information act request, officers and staff made 48 return flights in the nine months between January and October. A further 19 were made to the end of December. The cost for the flights was £15,945, an average of £238 per return flight. As well as flights for the search, the trips involved several journeys made by officers to liaise with the Portuguese authorities prior to the excavations...read more>>>...

Daily Merlin Review: This is crazy! And misleading IMO. Photographs such as the one above prove 'they' know, and have known where MM is; that she is alive ... news stories like this one are a distraction created by the cloud making machine. The above picture WAS MM without a shadow of a doubt. Yet we will all recall the ridiculous news report of finding the girl and father ... and then the picture of the girl which bore no resemblance to the girl above. This IS MM and she IS alive, and her location IS known.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

Daily OM: Having a vision for our future that differs from our current circumstances can be inspiring and exciting, but it can also keep us from fully committing to our present placement. We may become aware that this is happening when we notice our thoughts about the future distracting us from our participation in the moment. We may find upon searching our hearts that we are waiting for some future time or situation in order to self-actualize. This would be like a flower planted in North Dakota putting off blooming because it would prefer to do so in Illinois. There are no guarantees in this life, so when we hold back we do so at the risk of never fully blossoming. This present moment always offers us the ground in which we can take root and open our hearts now. What this means is that we live fully, wherever we are, not hesitating because conditions are not perfect, or we might end up moving, or we haven’t found our life partner. This can be scary, because we might feel that we are giving up our cherished dreams if we do not agree to wait for them...read more>>>...

The Four Different Animals

Working with animal powers can put us in touch with four different types of animals:

1. The animal in the physical world - leading us to discover more about its life & ways;

2. The animal in the inner world - animal act as ideal symbols or images of deepest fears and urges; or those parts of our psyche which have been denied or repressed;

3. The Power Animal - Druid tradition, as well as other indigenous belief systems, practice that animals also exist in spirit-form in the otherworld. These animals often visit us to give energy or healing, inspiration or advice. They are known as ‘power animals’ because they carry a particular power, gift or ‘medicine’;

4. The Totem Animal - If we choose to work with power animals, we may find ourselves developing a special bond with one or more of them. We will sense their presence often in our consciousness - teaching and guiding us.
