2017 – The Year of New World Order Anniversaries

Waking Times: New World Order Anniversaries abound in this year of 2017. If you go back in time exactly 50 or exactly 100 years, there are key events that occurred that still shape our world today – events orchestrated by the same network of Secret Societies and Illuminati bloodlines that have been manipulating the world for hundreds if not thousands of years. The following article highlights 5 New World Order anniversaries about which it is important to inform yourself, since the official version of these events is shallow at best and deceptive at worst. In all cases, the events were not what they seemed at the time, nor were we ever told the full truth afterwards by governments or the mainstream media....read more>>>...

Home Flow

Daily OM: Our living spaces can become nurturing homes for our bodies and souls when we make sure that our surroundings accurately reflect who we are as individuals and who we aspire to become. No matter how positive and creative you may be in your inner world, if your home or work surroundings are contradictory or present energetic barriers, you are likely to find it difficult to manifest all that you desire. By paying attention to the flow of energy around you, you can align your inner intentions with your outer realities to make your life a conscious act of creation.

We can look to the ancient Asian art of feng shui for guidance. Since the words "feng" and "shui" mean "wind" and "water," you may want to walk through your home and imagine the way these elements would flow through your space. You can evaluate whether or not your home is a balanced ecosystem that would allow a plant to flourish...read more>>>...

Soul Numerology Year 4 - 'The Building Year'

copyright Matthew James 2017

The year to build on the unexpected new direction offered over the last 12 months. Firstly it is essential to overcome the apparent residual fears left over from the previous YEAR 8 vibration (6 years prior to the 4). These manifested as the distractions and life issues constantly resurfacing on your life path in the last 6 years.

The Year 4 is also the 'voluntary karmic return year' when, in the early stages of the year .... the March, April, May months (Remember a Soul Numerology New Year commences in March) ... you are offered the chance to pay off your karmic dues four years early! Most distractions and hurdles at the start of the Year 4 are based on your apparent, and active fears. It is best to actually face them before the power of the 4 kicks in around May/June.

The full effect of the Year 4 is the building year. Building on the new hopes and dreams (And ambitions) which the Year 3 may well have forced on you with its life direction change.

The Year 4 is very much a material and manifestation year, when you become aware of the new life path that is unfolding before you. It is the last of the four PILLARS OF THE LOGIC YEARS. With the YEAR 5 representing the chance for a 'chemical wedding' ... the 6,7, 8 & 9 seen as the PILLAR OF  IMAGINATION YEARS ... when the heart is more likely to rule the life path than the intellect which rules the YEARS 1, 2, 3 & 4 - Copyright Matthew James

Type 2 diabetes? It's 'walking deficiency syndrome' and not a real illness, says top doctor

Daily Mail: Type 2 diabetes should be renamed 'walking deficiency syndrome' because it is not a 'real disease', according to one of Britain's leading medical practitioners. Sir Muir Gray has done extensive research on how modern lifestyles such as sitting at a desk or in a car are contributing to the risk of disease. He claims that type 2 diabetes, which is largely preventable but costs the NHS billions of pounds a year to treat, should be renamed because it is caused by the 'modern environment'. Speaking at the Oxford Literary Festival, Sir Muir said: 'Type two diabetes or walking deficiency syndrome, I'm trying to get the name changed...read more>>>...

'A new future for Britain': Theresa May gathers her Cabinet as she prepares to make history by FINALLY triggering Article 50 to cut ties with the EU

Daily Mail: Britain sets sail into bright a new era today as Theresa May formally begins our divorce from the EU. Eight months after the people delivered their verdict in the referendum, the UK will pass the point of no return when the letter triggering Article 50 is handed to European Council President Donald Tusk at around 12.30pm.

Mrs May is briefing the Cabinet on the task ahead this morning, after putting her signature to the historic document. It has been couriered to Brussels overnight, and is in the possession of the UK's ambassador Sir Tim Barrow, who has arrived at his offices in the city. The exact location of the handover has been kept a closely-guarded secret amid fears of disruption by Europhiles.

In a statement to MPs schedule for the same moment Mr Tusk receives the official notification, the PM will make a bold appeal for national unity amid the tough negotiations to come...read more>>>...

Recommended Tarot Decks: 'The Arthurian Tarot'

The legends, history, and tradition of Arthurian Britain are the theme of the Arthurian Tarot. The major arcana cards depict Merlin, Guinevere, the Lady of the Lake and other familiar characters, while the minor arcana have landscape scenes.

First published in 1991 ...Created by Caitlin and John Matthews.

The Arthurian Tarot is a very high quality book and card set that is nicely packaged and presented in a well-designed box. The cards are printed on quality, durable stock with vivid designs. The card designs are detailed and inviting, and they depict the essence of the grail mysteries. This deck differs from traditional tarot decks in that the suits of the minor arcana have been changed in keeping with the symbolism of the Hallows. So instead of the sword, wand, pentacle, and cup, we have the sword, spear, stone, and grail. The traditional icons of the major arcana have also been adjusted to incorporate Arthurian characters, for example, the High Priestess is now the Lady of The Lake, Strength is Gawain, and the Magician is Merlin. Each card’s image is bordered with a black frame which gives the reader the impression of looking through a window into an alternate realm. The images themselves are intricate, vibrantly coloured and have great depth, which facilitates a detailed reading.

The book which accompanies the Arthurian Tarot is not merely a guide to the meanings of each card, though in-depth interpretations are included. It is a workbook which guides the reader, whether expert or novice, on a personal grail quest called the Hallowquest. This is a meditation course designed to be spread out over a 12 month period. The course is divided into five parts. The aim of the first part is to enable the reader to prepare for the esoteric journey, while the subsequent four parts comprise the course’s seasonal sequence, which is intended to be started at the closest solstice or equinox.

Doing for Others

Daily OM: When we feel bad, often our first instinct is to isolate ourselves and focus on what's upsetting us. Sometimes we really do need some downtime, but many times the best way to get out of the blues quickly is to turn our attention to other people. In being of service to others, paradoxically, we often find answers to our own questions and solutions to our own problems. We also end up feeling more connected to the people around us, as well as empowered by the experience of helping someone.

When we reach out to people we can help, we confirm that we are not alone in our own need for support and inspiration, and we also remind ourselves that we are powerful and capable in certain ways...read more>>>...

Who is protecting Maddie's kidnapper? Detective who spent three years probing the disappearance claims her abductor has confessed to a friend and McCann may still be ALIVE

Daily Mail: A detective who spent three years looking for Madeleine McCann has claimed her abductor told someone else about the crime.  Detective inspector Dave Edgar, 60, believes the kidnapper is being protected and is urging those with information to come forward. He is sure parents Kate and Gerry McCann were not involved and said the disappearance was intricately planned. 

Speaking to the Mirror, he said: 'If anyone confided in you, now is the time to come forward. 'They [abductors] can’t keep it to themselves and research has shown they always confide in someone else.'...read more>>>...

Counselling found to lower blood pressure almost as much as dangerous chemical medication

Natural News: Before you reach for your statin medicine, try changing your lifestyle. This was the conclusion researchers at the American College of Cardiology made after finishing their first randomized, double-blind trial of alternative treatments for high blood pressure. Online behavioral therapy, also known as electronic counseling, was proven to decrease blood pressure by 10 points. This was almost double to the benefits received through medication. The new study was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 66th Annual Scientific Session...read more>>>...

Answering the Call

Daily Om: There are those of us who believe that our lives are predestined and that we should resign ourselves to our lots in life. Yet the truth is that it is up to each one of us to decide what that destiny will be. While each of us is born with a life purpose, it is up to us whether or not we will say yes to fulfilling it. And just like when we choose what to eat, who to keep company with, and whether to turn right or left when we leave our home everyday, choosing to say yes to your destiny is a decision that can only be realized when you take action to make that choice a reality.

Whether you believe it is your destiny to be a parent, an adventurer, an artist, a pioneer, or a spiritual guru, saying yes to your destiny is only the first step. While manifesting your destiny starts with knowing what you want and believing you can attain your goals, there are then the actions that must be taken and the decisions to be made before your destiny can truly happen....read more>>>...

Deeper Meanings

Daily Om: All of us who seek to be conscious and aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we really need to do is move forward. It is possible that we are not meant to know the deeper meaning of certain occurrences. Answers may come later in our lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come.

We are all part of a complex system of being, and things work themselves out in the system as a whole. Sometimes we are just playing a necessary part in that process with a result larger than we can understand...read more>>>...

Playing Right Into Their Hands

The level of psychic awareness and training, that appears on the surface to be out there, is very disturbing. Compared with the standards and the disciplines of the 80's and 90's, today's 'developed' psychics and sensitives are not even in the same league as the 'first step in the open circle' fledglings of the past. The standard has slipped, and ignorance makes the majority totally unaware.

It is frightening to think what will be the norms set in the next generations. There is too much emphasis on titles and the accessories. Too little training on discernment and control of the ego.

It is a scary landscape.The teachers of the 80's and 90's would have not have tolerated the poor standards that are circulating the psychic industry at this time. Around 75% of practising psychics, yes 75%, are not ready for professional work. If they'd been around in the halcyon days, when it was service to their clients, and not their pockets or ego, they would still be the amateur fledglings learning their trade. Not wander-lusting over their titles and getting out there before they are ready. Would you eat bread that has not yet risen? Or wine that is still in the demijohn? Would you have your teeth extracted by someone who's read how to remove teeth on the internet? Would you use a midwife who has been watching You Tube videos? NO! Then why are these amateur, still in training, psychics being allowed to dabble with your most important assets? Your sanity and your soul?

They are not ready. The damage they are creating is catastrophic. Both short term and long term. Those agencies that promote the non-existence of the other side, and the extra senses,  must love the way the psychic industry is fragmented and full of charlatans. IT DOES THEIR WORK FOR THEM, by destroying the hard work that the 5% do! The long term damage is what these agencies are craving. Psychic ability and everything that lies beyond it, is being discredited and pulled apart bit by bit. Well done amateur wannabe psychics, pat yourself on the back ... you are tarnishing the name of psychic ability. Well done!

Missing 411: How 1,600 people went missing from public lands without a trace

S.O.T.T: July 23, 2015 was the eve of Joseph Lloyd Keller's 19th birthday. The Cleveland, Tennessee, native had been spending the summer between his freshman and sophomore years at Cleveland State Community College on a western road trip with buddies Collin Gwaltney and Christian Fetzner in Gwaltney's old Subaru. The boys had seen Las Vegas, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon before heading to Joe's aunt and uncle's dude ranch, the Rainbow Trout Ranch, in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. The ranch is in Conejos County, which is bigger than Rhode Island, with 8,000 residents and no stoplights. Sheep graze in the sunshine; potatoes and barley are grown here and trucked north to Denver. Three new marijuana dispensaries in the tiny town of Antonito lure New Mexicans across the nearby state line.

Conejos—Spanish for "rabbits"—is one of the poorest counties in Colorado. It's also a helluva place to get lost. While its eastern plains stretch across the agricultural San Luis Valley, its western third rises into the 1.8-million-acre Rio Grande National Forest, which sprawls over parts of nine counties. Go missing out here and your fate relies, in no small part, on which of those nine counties you were in when you disappeared....read more>>>...

No Masters, No Rulers – A World Without Statist Conditioning

Waking Times: Raised, as most of us are, within nation states, it is extremely difficult to think outside the statist box. It’s tantamount to cognitive dissonance; Might as well ask a fish to breathe outside water, it’s so counterintuitive. But, and here’s the rub, we are not fish, and if we want to continue to be a progressively evolving species on this planet, we are going to have to think outside the box.

The thing is, it’s perfectly okay if “the box” is healthy, sustainable, and moral. But when it’s unhealthy, unsustainable, and immoral, like the statist box is, then it becomes imperative that we think outside of it. If we cannot do this, then we cowardly give in to indifference and ignorance, and we will be ruled by those who know how to gain power over indifference and ignorance.

As Plato pointed out, “The price of apathy toward public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” ...read more>>>...

What Makes People Tick?

Daily OM: All people have their own way of being in the world. It is easiest to comprehend this basic yet profound fact when we consider that every human being on the planet occupies a distinct role in the universe. We grow up in different environments, affected by a unique range of influences. The preferences, values, and beliefs we embrace are frequently related intimately to our origins. And the need to individualize our experiences is instinctive, as doing so enables us to cope when we must face challenges on our own. Consequently, each of us has developed a perspective that is uniquely ours. Interacting peacefully and constructively with people from all walks of life is a matter of first understanding where they are coming from. Then we can adjust our expectations so that we avoid making undue assumptions about what they are about.

In the face of emerging interpersonal conflict, it is easy to assume that others are being difficult, unreasonable, or stubborn. We are apt to grow frustrated when someone in our environment does not share our opinions or feel compelled to support us in our endeavors...read more>>>...

UK Parliament Car Accident Crime Scene Instantaneously Labeled 'Terrorist Attack'- No Investigation Needed!

Activist Post: Yes, here we go again. An accident scene with elements suggesting a knife wielding lunatic is said to have attacked several police officers is NOT being labeled a crime. Before any reasonable analysis or investigation of the crime scene/accident scene it is being immediately seized upon by the politicians and the new world order thirsty mainstream media and within minutes the scene has been “declared” a “terrorist attack”.

Without entertaining the possibility that people still do commit crimes in 2017 and people still do act crazy, get angry, get even, get drunk and not to mention hatred for police, drugs or even mind control. These are just some of the many many possibilities every good detective must consider when analyzing a crime scene, right? Unfortunately for all the crime scene detectives out there, sorry your job is apparently no longer needed. You see, because the politicians and mainstream media already seem to know everything going on within minutes. It has been quickly determined that the car accident and knife event was “terrorism”, according to Britain’s “most senior” counter-terrorism officer. Given the synthetic nature of most “terrorism” everyone should be thinking, oh no, not again....read more>>>...

Song Thrush Magic

People cannot deceive a person who has a thrush as their totem. The hidden power of a thrush is that it brings new thoughts, new ideas, and newness of life. Thrushes are often connected with good fortune and misery. During the 1900’s, Thomas Hardy created the poem “The Darkling Thrush” that shows a feeling of depression and possibly a representation of his feeling  at that time. Up to now the poem he created is still receiving raves to the critics and to the fans alike.

You have done your part in resolving your problems and the rest will be finished by someone who can assist you.  Your task is finished and you can do nothing to further resolve this conflict by yourself, let them handle it from now on.  But having said that, it doesn’t mean that you should completely take your attention of this conflict. They will still need your guidance and knowledge regarding this situation.

People who have this creature as their animal totem are born leaders, they have a strong sense of command, but may sometimes be misunderstood for being a bit bossy. They want to make sure that all things will go as planned...read more>>>...  

Taking a Day Trip

Daily OM: We tend to think of a vacation as something that requires an enormous amount of preparation, but small daylong excursions can be just as refreshing and fulfilling as their lengthier counterparts. A short drive can be the channel that transports you into a world of novel experiences and blissful relaxation. Solo day trips can be a wonderful way to unwind from the stresses of routine existence while simultaneously feeding the soul. And when you choose to share your day trip with someone you care about, a leisurely drive becomes a chance to talk about childhood, recall favorite songs, or simply spend time enjoying one another's presence.

You may be surprised to see how many day-trip possibilities exist within a mere hour's time from your home. Forests, beaches, lakes, mountains, rivers, and deserts can serve as the perfect spot for a minivacation. The physical and mental rejuvenation you experience in an unfamiliar and engaging setting are enhanced by meditation, journaling, deep breathing, or just being still with nature...read more>>>...

Dark Night of the Soul

Daily OM: Whenever a word is overused, it is most likely being misused, and over time, it begins to lose its meaningfulness. For example, we often refer to a fleeting feeling of depression or a period of confusion, as a dark night of the soul, but neither of these things qualifies as such. A dark night of the soul is a very specific experience that some people encounter on their spiritual journeys. There are people who never encounter a dark night of the soul, but others must endure this as part of the process of breaking through to the dawn of higher consciousness.

The dark night of the soul invites us to fully recognize the confines of our egos' identity. We may feel as if we are trapped in a prison that affords us no access to light or the outside...read more>>>...

Responsibility In The Field of Magicks

Copyright Matthew James 2017

Responsibility can be a very tiring thing. It calls for patience, dedication and consistency. The destiny of souls are shaped by your words and your intentions. The power of your voice is an enchantment, a magic, that HAS a serious impact on EVERY single soul who you work for.

They place their hopes, their dreams and their consciousness in your hands. They rely on you to see a way through the undefined, the non-manifest tides of energy that mill around the NOW. They have sub-consciously asked you to manifest a LIFE PATH through into the FUTURE. In truth they are hoping you can manifest a future for them. Something better than they cannot see themselves because their own consciousness has been backed against a wall of non-moving energy. They hope you can shift those obstacles for them, to help them move forwards again.

It is a HUGE responsibility and not one to be taken on board by the feint hearted. But so many enter into the FIELD OF MAGICKS (Psychic Mediumship) without ever comprehending the enormity of the responsibility. People hang on your words, they come to you, seeing you as a 'Hope Dealer' ... someone who they can offload their troubles onto, and someone who they can lean on when it has all gone wrong. You cannot say just ANYTHING to them. You cannot fob the responsibility off by saying people have 'the right of freewill' to make a choice in conjunction with your words. That choice is passed over to you during a consultation. The damage which can be done, is done during the consultation and the freewill choice is often taken away at the same time. It is therefore an ENORMOUS role being a consistent, accurate, dedicated 'mystic' in these situations. There is a tremendous amount of training required, it is not a five minute option, or something you undertake after a 'development workshop' ... no, it is something on a par with training as a Brain Surgeon, A very serious undertaking ...
