'The Library Of Fables'

Time draws to a close

The end of the chapter looms

The sorcerer shakes his head as the pages turn ....

He no longer believes in the dead

Spells hidden ... written into the fabric

Confound him

Upset his biorhythms

Raptures spoken by beings of power ...

Confuse him

He no longer feels like himself anymore ...

The land changing before his eyes

Its landscape shifting like a chameleon

The words shape shifters in disguise

Whispering on the wind venom

Hiding what is clear ...

But he sees only the wood

The desert hides the footpaths of the ancients

That which he seeks

The land barren through his eyes ...

A cobra rears almost at the point of striking

He is compelled to read the prologue

He is puzzled

For the snake was never part of the story ... nowhere

Then he understands ...

He turns to the front cover

He loses his page

Watching the dragon on the front ...

He sees it reach over to the king

And then he hears it speak its sickly words ...

It was then he went to sleep

That the knight betrayed the master

And his sorcery was destroyed

For his eyes were then deceived ....

He saw not what had befallen the land

He saw only what the evil wanted him to see

What they want all the readers to see

He gleaned then the deception

The frequency which they transmit

A rapture to deceive

For nothing has been concealed

It is merely the eyes which have been taken by the rapture

The land has never changed

Even though ... in the story the ancient stones have been destroyed

And a masquerader peoples given the land

A false history written into a manifesto which is false and deceiving

A realm once magical lain bare by evil ...

Then as the chapter closes again

Somewhere at random within the story

The mighty sorcerer understands

Sees it time to leave behind the library

To venture to another place ....

More books to find to read

More raptures to discover which deceive

For darkness lurks in most hidden depths

Choosing the libraries of fables

The past histories of man ....

Somehow he will succeed

To pass the knowledge on to his dreamer

To those trapped parts of himself

Those quicksilver globes still trapped

Those tiny traces which still elude him ...

Somehow they will know to realise

That which is before their mortal eyes

It not what it seems

For raptures are written in the signals they hear

To cause them to react in the way the lizards wish

And ... the dragons fear discovery

Their identities hidden ... within human kind

Forced to cluster in places of former history to survive

In the memories of what was

To create loops in the stories to ensnare

For that is the only way they can survive

To create beings of power alive in the story

Which never exist outside ... beyond the fabric of the books ....

Global Cooling in 2009

'2009 was another year of global cooling, which saw numerous low temperature and high snowfall records smashed. The Dutch canals froze over for the first time in 12 years, record cold came to Al Gore's home town and ironically a blizzard dumped snow on the Copenhagen convention where world leaders met to try and stop global warming. It was so cold that even the BBC was forced to ask, what happened to global warming? As Climategate would reveal, IPCC scientists had been hard at work hiding evidence of global cooling. Yet the observational evidence cannot be ignored.' Read more...

Some Buddhist Inspiration ...

You can think of the nature of mind like a mirror, with five different powers or “wisdoms.” Its openness and vastness is the “wisdom of all-encompassing space,” the womb of compassion. Its capacity to reflect in precise detail whatever comes before it is the “mirrorlike wisdom.” Its fundamental lack of any bias toward any impression is the “equalizing wisdom.” Its ability to distinguish clearly, without confusing in any way the various different phenomena that arise, is the “wisdom of discernment.” And its potential of having everything already accomplished, perfected, and spontaneously present is the “all-accomplishing wisdom.”

Anomaly Gallery - Life On Mars?

One of my favourite 'anomaly landscapes' ... it is literally 'teeming' with shapes that could only be lifeforms!!! There can be no natural formation that can explain away these shapes which were unearthed after a negative imaging of Google Mars material. This image does point strongly to life on Mars ....

Biggest freeze for 30 years wreaks havoc (and there are 10 more days to come)

Deep freeze Britain was as cold as the South Pole as temperatures plummeted to a staggering minus 21c. Amid increasing fears of an energy crisis, the country is locked in the biggest chill for nearly 30 years. The mercury sank to minus 21.2C (minus 6.2F) in parts of the Scottish Highlands - considerably colder than some home freezers - with bitterly cold temperatures everywhere else on another day of widespread weather disruption. Icy conditions have again left roads in a treacherous state and caused delays and cancellations for rail and air passengers. Hundreds of schools have also shut again today, resulting in a full week of closure for some children. Last night forecasters gave a grim warning of worse to come, with strong winds blowing in to add wind chill to already below-zero temperatures which could continue for at least ten more days. The prediction came as the worst cold spell since the winter of 1981-82 continued to cause chaos. (Daily Mail)

Transforming Anger to Light

As humans, we all have anger, sometimes more than others. A healthy way of purging our anger from our bodies is to give it to Mother Earth. We can imagine ourselves being grounded as the electrical energy passes from us into Mother Earth below. We can see that energy go straight to the earth’s core where it becomes part of the continuous growth process of our planet and is transformed from negative to positive, from dark to light. When we choose to give our anger to the earth, we trust our connection with the natural world we live in and the great universe that fuels it all. Mother Earth will lovingly transform your anger into light so no need to feel guilty about unloading to her.

We can make this offering of our energy from any location, whether many stories up or on a ship at sea. We know the earth is below us, supporting us and sustaining us. If we have the opportunity to physically connect to the earth by going outdoors and touching unpaved ground, we may find it easier to connect to nature’s energy flow. It may also be easier to receive the flow of positive, calming, healing energy that comes to fill our bodies when we have emptied ourselves of our anger. To begin, sit and breathe deeply, ask Mother Earth to accept your anger, and imagine it coming down your spine out of your tailbone, and into the earth’s deep core. To finish, be sure to honour and thank the earth for her loving service.

When we work with our anger this way, we acknowledge that like everything else it is merely energy that can be used positively or negatively. During our grounding meditation, we may be given direction to channel this energy for its best use. We may find that the earth can help us cleanse misplaced energy to use for its rightful purpose. When we do this with gratitude, we know that we are not misusing the earth for our own selfish purposes. Instead we are connecting ourselves with the energy of our homeland, and when we do this we nurture the earth as it nourishes us.

Relaxation Exercise

When you first try this relaxation exercise, you may want to begin by lying on the floor or on your bed. However, if you are tired, you may find that you cannot stay awake and you won't be able to develop the skill of conscious relaxation. This is a great exercise to help you sleep better at night, but for purposes of developing an awakened sense of relaxation, consider whether lying down works for you or not. If you too easily drift off to sleep, begin by sitting in a chair where you are comfortable and your back is straight and your feet touch the floor.

Loosen any tight clothing, such as your shoes, collar, or belt. Whether you begin by lying on the floor or not, you will eventually graduate to sitting either in a chair or on the floor. The purpose of this technique is to be able to mentally call relaxation to your body anytime, anywhere regardless of where you are or what physical position you find yourself. You are going to scan your entire body, locating tension pockets and relax each area, one area at a time, releasing tension completely. Here's how:

Focus your attention on your breath until your breathing begins to slow and deepen. Keep your mind focused on your breath. You might also conjure some peaceful image as you do this exercise. As you do so, you have already begun to relax.

You attention will first focus on your feet, beginning at the toes. Starting with the toes, wiggle your toes, squeezing and flexing, and then relax and release any tension. Next, rotate the ankles, followed by flexing and pointing the feet. Then relax and release. Move up to the calves and the long muscles of the thighs with your attention, tensing and relaxing until you can let the tension go; your feet will fall outward comfortably. Next, move your attention to your abdomen, midriff and lower back. This is another part of your body that can easily carry excess tension. Tighten your abdominals; hold the tension for a count of five, and then release. Do this two more times, releasing tension each time you relax. You may find yourself adjusting the angle of your lower back as you encounter and release tension.

Shoulders and arms are next. Shrug your shoulders, tense and release your arms, clench and release your hands. Do this three times and finally, release all tension and let your arms and shoulders relax. Even as you are relaxing and feeling your tension drain away, remember to continue focusing on your breath. Between each area of focus, draw your attention back to the breath and let all tension leave your body with the out-breath and draw in a sense of relaxation with the in-breath.

Are there any other tense muscles in your head or face or neck? Probably, since this is a major focal point for tension. Focus directly on your facial muscles, opening the mouth and eyes wide three times and then consciously release tension and let your face relax. If you feel tension in your neck, turn your head slowly to the right and then the left a few times and finally, settle the neck to relax. Finally, shift your attention to the very top of your head. Consciously tighten the scalp by lifting your eyebrows and then scrunching them. Do this a few times and when you release and relax the tension, your scalp will relax.

At first you may have to retrace these steps until all regions of your body are relaxed at the same time. Keep at it until you are able to relax completely. By focusing attention and deliberate movement on various areas of the body, you are able to let those muscles to relax.

When you have mastered this method of relaxation, you will have gained control of the tension you are prone to carrying in your body and you will be able to relax at will for the rest of your life. Focusing on your breath, you can maintain this sense of control by simple association. As a result, you can relax even if you are in a room full of people. This is also a great beginning point to begin your meditation.

In time, being able to relax will not take you 15 to 20 minutes, but rather moments. By simply scanning the body with the mind, and focusing on the breath, you will be able to achieve quickly any level of relaxation you desire.

Anomaly Gallery

This is the 'famous' female alien picture which has circulated around the web for a year or two. It's been 'adjusted' to remove the excessive orange colour in the original photo. It does indeed look like a 'lifeform', but what is intriguing - perhaps confirming it is a lifeform - is that the hand of the figure appears to be holding something like a stick or a torch? Note also the anomalies in the photo indicated with the arrows. There is something intriguing in the foreground. A monkey/ape appears to have been 'rubbed out' (Note the curving black detail on the foreground blue rocks - go left from that point to where the next arrow points). To the left of the curving black detail there appears to be a chameleon-like creature which is the same colour of the rocks ... its tail can just be seen on the edge of the rock. Is the statue/lifeform really in the picture or is it a major deception? That is the question to ask. It has drawn much attention in the last couple of years ... nothing is as it seems with the photos from Mars. It could be perhaps used to avert attention away from other interests in the picture (like the ape perhaps?).

Martian Anomaly

An interesting martian anomaly which depicts a landscape with 'apparent' explosions and flames. Note the 'flames' to towards the bottom right of the image ... they appear to be reflected in the ground! The reflections appear to be caused by a liquid surface. What has caused the explosions/flames? Naturally occurring gases or intelligent life?

Why Magick?

The ability to think seems to set us apart from other creatures. And although we are concerned with living in the physical world, we are mental beings. The fact is we are thinking all the time. We plan, we brood, we get depressed or elated -- all of it is thought. But the universe is mental too, and if we could control our thinking we would see magnificent results in the everyday world.

Many systems have been developed over the ages to help us control our thoughts. A great amount of dogma too has been kicked around in an attempt to make us into better people. Magick (the occult kind, spelled with a 'k') is one of the oldest and most general of these systems. Magick is the study and application of psychic forces. It uses mental training, concentration, and a system of symbols to program the mind. The purpose of magick is to alter the self and the environment according to the will.

Most of the magick we see today comes to us from ancient Egypt and Chaldea. The Chinese, Hindus, and Tibetans developed their own unique types of magick. Western magick was locked up by the Egyptian priests for thousands of years and then supressed by the rise of Christianity. It was not until medieval Europe that magical knowledge was rediscovered by the alchemists and Cabalists. Only during the past hundred years or so has western culture been open minded enough to permit widespread investigation of the subject. Only since the start of the twentieth century has science shown much interest in it al all.

Magick encompasses many things -- science and art, philosophy and metaphysics, psychology and comparative religion. Magick is an adventure at the borderlands of the unknown. It can fit the pieces of the puzzle of life into a meaningful whole. Magick is fun and interesting. Use magick to help raise consciousness without drugs. Gain new experiences. Fantasy can come alive through magick. Psychic phenomena can be controlled and be fun and helpful. Magick is beneficial. It can help you to have excellent health, and bring you good luck. With magick life runs smoothly; life is good. Also use magick for personality improvement, to control bad habits and to develop new motivations. Magick is powerful. Never underestimate the tremendous power of magick. Use magick to alter events and to achieve your goals. Exert an influence over people and phenomena. But power for its own sake is self defeating. The power which magick can give you should not be your primary reason for studying it. (Source: spiritual.com.au)

Dreaming - the Secret Wishes of the Soul

One of the greatest gifts of dreaming is that it puts us in touch with soul. It takes us beyond the limited understanding of the everyday self and shows us who we are, what our soul’s purpose is in this life experience and what our heart truly yearns for. There is a word for this vital function of dreams in the language of the Huron, a dreaming people of North America. The word is ondinnonk, and it means a "secret wish of the soul", especially as revealed in dreams. This expression takes us to the heart of healing. By connecting with our dreams, and celebrating and acting on the information they gift to us, we bring the energy and magic of soul into our daily lives. As we allow our big dreams to take root in this world, we become whole and well, and start living our deeper story. As we help others to honour and celebrate their soul guidance, as revealed in dreams, we become healers and dreambringers.

Ancient dream healers understood that we are often out of touch, in our surface minds, with our deepest truths and our heart’s desires. Not knowing who we are, forgetting our soul’s purpose, we do terrible harm to ourselves and others. Dreams invite us to get back on the right track, the soul’s track

Dreaming not only renews our understanding of the soul’s purpose; it can literally bring the soul back home. From the shaman’s perspective, soul loss is the root cause of much illness and affliction in our lives. We suffer deep grief, heartbreak or abuse or trauma – and maybe then succumb to negative habits and addictions – and a part of our vital soul energy goes away. Chronic depression, lethargy, memory gaps, low resistance to illness and emotional numbness are among the most frequent symptoms of soul loss.

Our dreams can tell us which parts of ourselves may be missing, and when it is timely to bring them home. Recurring dreams in which we go back to a scene from our earlier lives may indicate that a part of us has remained there. Dreams in which we perceive a younger self as a separate individual may be nudging us to recognize and recover a part of ourselves we lost at that age. Sometimes we do not know who that beautiful child is – until we take a closer look. There is a marvellous story in my book Dreamgates about what happened when a woman went back into a dream of a beautiful five-year-old in a red coat, and found herself fusing at the heart, in a blaze of light, with the part of herself she had lost at age five through family trauma.

Unfortunately, a common effect of soul loss is dream loss. Indeed the absence of dream recall is often a primary symptom of soul loss – as if the part of the sufferer that knows how to dream and travel in deeper reality has gone away, out of pain or disgust. It is fascinating and deeply rewarding to observe what can happen when people who have forgotten how to dream start dreaming again. This can amount to spontaneous soul recovery ... read more ...

Watchdog Smacks Times For Bogus Climate Claim

'An advertising campaign touting the depth and quality of the Times newspaper's environment coverage has been slapped by an industry watchdog for inaccuracy. The paper has agreed to modify the advertisements, which are based on a false climate change claim. The Times ads claimed that global warming had caused the North East shipping passage, the icy Arctic route which in summer links Russia's European ports to the Bering Strait, to be opened for the first time. In fact, the North East Passage opened in 1934, and was opened to overseas traffic after the fall of the Soviet Union. Modern technology, specifically radar, has permitted a safer passage in recent years.' (Read more...)

Understanding Oneness

Sometimes we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what motivates them. But we are all doing the best we can with the information we currently have. We have all been taught how to see the world from the examples of those around us and by our experiences. Keeping this in mind, we can accept the choices made by others while seeking ways to increase the world’s level of consciousness as a whole.

Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children, whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the behavior of a two-year-old who doesn’t want to share can be understood as a phase of his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be thought to be acting childish. It is important to remember that we are each on our own unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain roles in the unfolding of the world’s understanding before we incarnated in this lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the world by increasing our own.

Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of the planet. When we use our energy to bring light into the world, it combines with the light brought by others to dispel the darkness. Though we live in a world of duality, which helps us to experience the material plane, we don’t need to experience extremes to understand them. We can share our experiences and understanding with others not from a place of condescension but of connection. When the entire family of humanity understands that each of our thoughts, choices, and actions affect us all, we will share an incredible level of consciousness—one that puts our oneness above all else and helps us evolve into higher expressions of our spiritual selves. Remember the next time you witness an action of another that they are of the same earth as you but simply on a different conscious level at this point in their life. Find compassion, bless them, and move along your day in grace.

Alien Graveyard Allegedly Found in Rwanda

Erik Van Datiken reports, “Scientists say they have found an extraterrestrial cemetery in central Africa that is at least 500 years old! The Swiss anthropologist Dr. Hugo Childs, “There must be 200 bodies buried there and not a single one of them is human," told reporters in Kigali, Rwanda. "They are in amazing state of preservation to be so old," he added. "Soil and tissue samples indicate the bodies have been in the ground since the 1400s. We're now trying to figure out where they came from - and what killed them." Dr. Childs and his colleagues reportedly discovered the alien graveyard on a routine survey of the Rwandan jungle. Excavation reportedly revealed alien bodies - stacked in fives in a jungle clearing. "The creatures themselves were much taller and skinnier than humans," said the expert. "They stood about 7 feet tall and they were not any bigger around than small sapling trees; their heads were larger than the average man's and they had no mouth, nose or eyes to speak of." I assume that they communicated with one another telepathically and moved around like bats with some kind of biological radar." Without further study there is no way to tell for sure what killed the extraterrestrials. But Dr. Childs speculated that the 200 aliens were part of a single landing party that encountered a deadly flu virus. "Some of them must have survived because there is no evidence of a spaceship to be found," said Dr. Childs. "Of course, as our excavation effort continues, there's no telling what we may run across.” Dr. Childs would not take reporters to the site, for fear of the bodies being disturbed. "It will change the world," Dr. Childs said. Weekly World News will continue to provide updates as they develop ... read more ...

Presented Characters II - 'The Professional Smile'

Daily Merlin Insight

Using Servants of the Light tarot

Wed 6th Jan 2010

The attention shifts back to focus on one of 'the presented characters' in the mystery. The identity of 'the subject' will remain anonymous ... the intention of the insight to revisit the 'cog in the wheel' represented by this character in the mystery. The question to initiate the insight, with regard to this character is ... 'what involvement in the situation does ------- play?' Before the images are chosen there was a intuitive connection which commenced with 'piggy in the middle'. Caught in the middle. Able to confide with a member of the family and achieve insights into their lives and then, through the pressure of loyalty to elsewhere (and strong persuasion) pass this information on. In other words a betrayer or a 'spy in the camp'. Someone who would not wish to be compromised with too much success & achievement to lose. Someone here known for many years by a member of the family. Someone with their own sword behind their own back and weighted down by financial backing. Forced to do the bidding of someone 'in power' who is linked to the core of the disappearance. Someone aware of the connection to the family. Behind a professional smile is an insecure person. Hang ups and lack of confidence betrays the outward success.

Five images portray this character's 'fate - 3 of Weapons, Keeper Of Spheres, Keeper of Crescents, Justice, Giver of Spheres.

Immediately, the sense of a keeper ... a holder of 'confidential information'. Matters appertaining to the 3 of Weapons and the sword through the heart. Relating to something at the core of the reason for the disappearance? This character has some hold it seems on one or both of the parents? The Giver of Spheres relates to information freely given. This character has been confided in ... it seems there could well have been a betrayal. Justice is in a reverse position ... injustice and dealing with injustices. Creating an injustice. The professional smile to hide behind? To keep from a member of the family the fact the connection is to create a blackmail or a betrayal? Sensitive information seems to be known by this character ... and this is also known by one who links to the character ... a middle man between the character and those involved in the disappearance? But does this character know of the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann ... unlikely. The character has an inkling of those involved, but will remain silent OR the sense of betrayal will generate incredible guilt which could cause a major conflict, if the character's own standing is threatened by divulging this link. The character seems, like the parents, to be caught fast in a web ... at the whim of those at its centre. The characters usefulness may have been shortlived ... but those in control will direct this character to elsewhere in the web.

Hand In Hand With Nature

Time spent in nature’s embrace is a soothing reminder of the fact that we also are products of the natural world’s ingenuity. We feel at home in a quiet forest and are comforted by the pounding surf of the seaside. In both the sunny meadow and the shaded waterfall’s grotto, stress and tension we have long retained melts away. Finding opportunities to reconnect with nature to enjoy its healing benefits can be difficult, however. Planting and tending a garden allows us to spend time with Mother Nature in a very personal and hands-on way. We work in tandem with nature while gardening—honoring the seasons, participating in the life cycle of various organisms, experiencing the unique biorhythms of our environments, and transcending all that divides us from the natural world. As we interact with the soil, we are free to be ourselves and reflect upon meditative topics. Fresh air invigorates us, while our visceral connection to the earth grounds us.

Though you may plant a garden to grow food or herbs, or for the pleasure of seeing fresh flowers in bloom, you will likely discover that the time you spend working in your plot feels somehow more significant than many of the seemingly more important tasks you perform each day. Whether your garden can be measured in feet or is a collection of plants in pots, tending it can be a highly spiritual experience. You, by necessity, develop a closer relationship with the soil, seeds, water, and sunlight. Nurturing just a single plant means cultivating a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that permit it to thrive. A true healing garden is simply one where you feel comfortable plunging your hands into the earth, lingering over seedlings and plants to observe their growth. And yes, even caressing and talking to plants. Creating beauty through the creative use of space, and giving yourself over to awe when you realize that you have worked hand in hand with nature to give birth to something, is truly wonderful.

The partnership that is formed when you collaborate with Mother Nature through gardening is wonderful in that it provides you with so many opportunities to be outdoors. You will be reminded of not only your connection to the earth but also of your unique gifts that allow you to give back to the earth.

'A Dark Deception'

"Some people have recentlybeen fooled by the falling of political divisions and apparent changes in the forms of government around the world, thinking that it is leading up to a new age of peace and oneness. But take care, for this is but a grand illusion, perpetrated by the dark ones, and the outward appearances of the beginning of what is really the final attempt to takeover the world by the forces of darkness. The new age of peace and oneness, cannot be achieved by governments. And while this age of enlightenment is close, it is not here yet - but beware - a false, negative new age is at your door. Prophecies from many diverse cultures all over the world concur that we will first need to deal with the darkness coming to full power (the Anti-Christ so to speak), and a powerful system of 'anti-light', before there is an age of peace, harmony and 'universal consciousness'. The prophecies of the children predict this also, but go a step further by stating it is upon us now and starting to 'snowball'. This you are seeing the beginnings of, and you shall see its full face in the very near future. We are about to see tyranny, oppression, and control/enslavement on a scale that is unprecedented. A helping hand will be offered to a collapsing world, an economically desperate world, a crime-ridden world - a hand that will welcome you and take care of you - and make you a servant for the dark side if you grasp it."

Elemental Magick & The Deliberate Creation of Elementals

In contrast to thoughts living in their forms in the mental or spiritual sphere, the "elementals" are entities with a certain degree of intelligence deliberately created by a magician. Such elementals are capable of fulfilling certain tasks on the mental plane and obviously they may be looked at as obedient servants of the magician according to the purpose he aims at. Through the creation of elementals of the so-called elemental magic type, the magician can accomplish everything on the mental plane without any discrimination of his own or a strange sphere.

With the help of the elementals the magician can influence the mind of any other person optionally, he can strengthen or weaken man's mental and intellectual faculties, he can protect himself or others against foreign influences, transmute friendships into animosities or the other way around, he can produce a favourable atmosphere in associating with his fellow men, and he can bring under his control anybody's will that is not yet developed or profiled.

The genuine magician will always be inspired by good and noble intentions and keep the altruistic motive in mind if he is aiming at the highest level of magical maturity. The practice of creating elementals is very simple and an affair of the magician's imagination, but the following elemental magick rules must be considered:

1. The elemental has to be given a form corresponding to the desire one wishes to be fulfilled. The form is to be created by intensive imagination.

2. The form, the so-called vessel or housing has to be given a name of some sort. Everything existing, whether in a particular shape or shapeless does have a name; if it has no name, it does not exist.

3. The task is to impressed on the elemental with the help of the willpower and the imaginative faculty; that is, an authoritative order has to be given with respect to the kind of effect to be produced. The present or imperative form formula must be retained in order to achieve the desired effect.

4. The effectiveness is to be impressed on the elemental regardless whether it be a question of a permanent or a restricted effect … read more …

Some Buddhist Inspiration ... 'dakdzin'

Ego is the absence of true knowledge of who we really are, together with its result: a doomed clutching on, at all costs, to a cobbled together and makeshift image of ourselves, an inevitably chameleon charlatan self that keeps changing, and has to, to keep alive the fiction of its existence.

In Tibetan, ego is called dakdzin , which means “grasping to a self.” Ego is then defined as incessant movements of grasping at a delusory notion of “I” and “mine,” self and other, and all the concepts, ideas, desires, and activities that will sustain that false construction.

Such grasping is futile from the start and condemned to frustration, for there is no basis or truth in it, and what we are grasping at is by its very nature ungraspable. The fact that we need to grasp at all and to go on grasping shows that in the depths of our being we know that the self doesn’t inherently exist. From this secret, unnerving knowledge spring all our fundamental insecurities and fears.

A Word on 'Numerology - Life Lesson Numbers'

The life lesson number reflects what we've incarnated to learn, and affects everything from our personal preferences to our overall life paths. There is much more one can do with numerology, however, such as character analysis and more based on one's birth name.

The first thing to understand about numerology is how to reduce numbers. Any number greater than nine is reduced to a single digit by adding its components together. Hence, the number 13 is 1 +3 =4. The number 237 is 2 + 3 + 7 = 12 = 3. As one advance in numerological knowledge, the original number lends specific flavour to the reduced number, hence a 14/5 has a different feeling than a 23/5, but for beginning purposes, we'll work with the simple numbers 1 through 9.

To determine your own life lesson, write down your birth date numbers with the month, day and year. For example, if you were born December 15, 1960, you would write… 12 5 1960 …Be sure to write the full number of the year of birth, in this case, "1960" versus simply "60."

This then becomes 12 + 15 + 16 (1 + 9 + 6 + 0). 12 + 15 + 16 = 43/7. The life lesson number is a 7.

Explore your own life lesson number and you may be amazed by how closely the numbers reflect individual traits and tendencies.

Life Lesson Number 1:
The one is the number of the leader. If your life lesson is a 1, you have incarnated to learn how to be independent, creative and strong. Your challenge is to push forward like a pioneer into new worlds and original realms of thought and experience. There is tendency to be self-focused and overly driven, and above all impatient, and this must be balanced with the needs of others and realistic limitations. One's are generally competitive and outgoing, and usually a step ahead of the crowd. You're a natural inventor or innovator; your challenge is to have confidence in yourself and act to manifest your dreams. One's often go into business for themselves, or move to the top of existing organizations or structures to lead.

Life Lesson Number 2:
Two's are nurturers, and make excellent support people. They say that behind every successful person is a good man or woman, and these are generally the two's who get everything done. Two's are usually not direct or confrontational, but more gentle and feminine. The two learns how to remain behind the scenes and do what must be done without need for acknowledgement or praise. The two rarely stands alone, but is at his or her best in a partnership or group endeavour. A challenge for two's is to balance giving with personal needs, as they tend to be "too nice." Cooperation is a key issue, and it comes naturally to most born of this vibration. Two's are also innate diplomats and readily able to see everyone's feelings and needs and ease hurt feelings. Two's make excellent assistants, nurses, doctors, teachers and ministers.

Life Lesson Number 3:
This is the artist in the crowd. Regardless of your favoured mode of expression, if your life lesson is a 3, you're sure to possess a great deal of raw talent. Three's have a burning desire for self-expression, and a great love of aesthetic pleasures. Beauty and comfort blossom under the attention of a three, and all are charmed by the three's innate charisma and facility with language. There is a tendency to flit from this to that, though a three who possesses focus and discipline can become a master in any of the arts. This is an idea person, the one who thinks things up and then turns them over to two's or four's. Three's love freedom, especially freedom of expression, and have a natural facility for creating, writing, teaching and motivational speaking. Sales is another good choice, as three's are naturally charming and social.

Life Lesson Number 4:
This is the builder and organizer. Four's are hard working and practical, and determined to erect a solid foundation for the future. Discipline is natural, and four's tend to be conservative and reliable. This is also a very physical number, and material security is high on the list of priorities. Four's tend to be good with money, as they are careful spenders and planners. There is a tendency to be overly conservative, serious or close-minded; a challenge for four's is to learn how to balance careful planning with living for today. Four's come to learn how persistence eventually pays off. They tend to work hard when younger, but then reap great rewards for their efforts later in life. Four's are natural managers, as they have an innate ability to keep the big picture in focus and work toward long-term goals.

Life Lesson Number 5:
The five comes to explore and experiment. Five's crave freedom, and are generally infused with a great deal of wanderlust. They're naturally adventurous, and reluctant to settle down or commit. They like to know they can change their minds or their directions on a whim. Travel is a natural love, and anything that keeps change moving through their lives is likely to be attractive. Adventure beckons; favourite sports may be white water rafting or mountain climbing. While fives generally have apt intellects, they also tend to lack the discipline for anything that fails to capture their fancies, for they shun monotony. They're ever learning, however, and a major goal of an individual with this life lesson is to further his or her knowledge base. Books and classes naturally appeal. Fives are very social, and are skilful in any career that deals with the public. Sales are a good choice of career, as fives are charming and persuasive. Fives may end up working in several different careers in their insatiable quest for novelty or change.

Life Lesson Number 6:
Your goal is to develop a sense of responsibility for your family and community. Commitment and compassion are key words of the six, and there is a great focus here on domestic devotion and the needs of others. The six must learn how to put aside the desires of the ego and remain true to commitments. The six is a keen judge of what is fair, and a natural as a sympathetic ear or shoulder to cry on. The six is here to learn how to serve others; this number is generally associated with Christ consciousness. Sixes make natural teachers, ministers, nurses, medical researchers, lawyers, veterinarians and social workers.

Life Lesson Number 7:
This is the number of the seeker, the one who goes in search of answers to life's most puzzling questions. Sevens are often hard to understand from the outside; they tend to be eccentric, or to see the world differently from others. They have keen but restless minds. They are natural philosophers, thinkers and meditators. They tend to be interested in spiritual matters, the occult and all that is mysterious. Because of their keen intellects, science and research may also beckon. They are generally adept with mathematics, or at least at deciphering mysteries. They are most comfortable when alone; social situations or loud people unnerve them. They make great private investigators, researchers, scientists or analysts.

Life Lesson Number 8:
If this is your life lesson, you're here to use your considerable personal power to achieve high aims. This is the number of ambition and achievement. Your goal is to learn how to work and how to manifest abundance. You're also good at helping others to realize their potential. You lead by example, and learn this lifetime above all how to achieve success. You're a natural authoritarian, and must learn how to use money or material goods to further your aims. A challenge for you is learning how to create material abundance without losing sight of what is really lasting or important. You have great pride and strong ambition. Honour, dignity and reputation are important to you, and you're generally competitive. Eights are natural celebrities or politicians, athletes or business giants.

Life Lesson Number 9:
This is the number of the idealist. Nines love humanity and carry a clear vision of how things should be. Nine is the number of patience and understanding, and has a very Buddhist aura due to the peace and wisdom of its vibration. If you're a 9, you see things as from above, and are therefore designed to show others the way through your own example. You are highly connected to Spirit, and often serve as the hand of Spirit in the lives of others. You may be a healer or a psychic, an educator or in some medical profession. Communication comes easily to you, and you make a natural politician, although you are more driven by your ideals than a quest for power. Nines often suffer from depression or disappointment as they try to reconcile how they know things should be with how they really are. Perhaps your greatest challenge is remaining optimistic when the rest of the world seems so off course.

Why 'The Secret' May Not Be Working For You ...

The Law of Attraction has become known as ‘the secret’ since the release of Rhonda Byrne’s best selling book The Secret. The Law of Attraction is not new to the Personal Development industry or to the spiritual seeker. For thousands of years the mystics, sages and spiritual teachers have known only too well the Universal Law of Attraction.

The early Babylonian/Jewish mysticism known as the Kabbalah, which is based on the teachings of Abraham over two and half thousand years ago talks extensively about reincarnation and the Law of Attraction. Some of histories great philosophers and teachers including Gallileo, Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Leibniz, Pico della Mirandola, Sir Francis Bacon, Carl Jung and Plato studied the Kabbalah and understood the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction basically means that what we think, feel and believe we create. What we broadcast out to the universe in the form of our thoughts, emotions, feelings and beliefs we ‘attract back’ to ourself. All thoughts, emotions and feelings are vibrations of energy. All vibrations of energy will be attracted to similar/like vibrations of energy.

If you think good, positive, loving thoughts you will attract those experiences into your reality. If you feel you are unworthy of making money or a loving relationship, this is what you will create. If you feel you are worthy of winning in sport that is what you create. If you feel that you never have enough money that is what you will create.

Is it really so simple? It is not so much what we think, as thoughts float into and out of our awareness, but what is crucial is how we feel. Our feelings mould our reality whether we like it or not.

So to create what you would like to create in your life you must feel the feeling of what it feels like to already have what you desire. Do not assume it is in the future, but feel as though you already have it. The subconscious mind does not determine between past, present or future. That is why all self affirmations and visualization techniques for manifestation use the present tense. We must feel what it feels like to have what we want – not focus on not having what we want.

Why does the Law of Attraction not always work? When we broadcast our thoughts, beliefs and feelings out to the universe we not only broadcast out what we are aware of (or conscious of) but we also broadcast out everything that lies in our subconscious and unconscious minds. The subconscious mind is where all our memories and experiences are stored since conception in the womb. The unconscious mind is also referred to as the Soul, and this is where all our memories from all the lives we have ever lived reside … read more …

The Dangers of the Ouija Board

One of the easiest and quickest ways to receive communication is through an ouija board, factory or home made, there is no difference, they are all equally dangerous and no amount of psychic protection can protect you from the dangers associated with this type of communication.

Do they work? Absolutely. How? Whether using a planchette or a glass, the participants are focusing their energies onto a very small space. They are giving power to these tools. It is this power and the open invitation for anyone to communicate that opens doorways. The difficulty is once these doorways are opened you cannot always close them and the experience can last long after the game has ended. A planchette or glass is like a shining beacon; unfortunately the communicators they usually attract are the occupants of the astral world. This is plane where entities reside who have departed from this world, but not transcended to the other world. It is also where entities or beasts not of this world live. If you are lucky a loved one or guide will come through, but most people are unlucky. It is also nearly impossible to tell the difference between someone of the light and someone pretending to be.

Why? Because the game removes the safety features associated with spiritual communication. When a Medium/Clairvoyant communicates they do so through their own energy field, so they can feel and sense the link. With or without protection they will know immediately if the link is of the light or merely feigning to be. But if they were using a glass or a planchette they lose the closeness of the connection and their ability to be able sense the energy of the communicator.

Participants of the game have given away their right to be protected from the dwellers of the lower planes. They have invited them. Once they are here they have no intentions of going back. So long after the fun has gone they can live on, in the space where the activity took place. With the added advantage of being invisible they can wreak havoc in peoples’ lives, by creating fear, anger and dis-harmony. For those foolhardy enough to try out this type of communication the affects can be disastrous. (Source: spiritual.com.au)

Lost Amazon civilisation revealed after forests cleared for cattle grazing

Hundreds of geometric monuments unearthed deep in the Amazon may have been left behind by a previously unknown society, say scientists.

Archaeologists have found more than 200 earthworks shaped as perfect circles and squares, many connected by straight roads. They have dated one site to 1283AD but say others could be from as early as 200AD.The earthen foundations were found in a region more than 150miles across, covering northern Bolivia and Brazil's Amazonas state. The first ones were uncovered in 1999, after large areas of pristine forest was cleared for cattle grazing.

Sculpted from the clay rich soils of Amazonia, the earthworks are made up of 30ft wide and 10ft high. The earthen structures or 'geoglyphs' can now be spotted against the treeless, savannah-like landscape and scientists have compiled an archive using Google Earth. A team of researchers have analysed all the findings in a paper published in the journal Antiquity.

They found that most earthworks were clustered on a 200m high plateau at the top of river valleys. This would have given inhabitants a defensive advantage with a clear view of people coming up river. Most were also placed near spring water sources. (Daily Mail)

Virtual Revelations

So it appears that the creator god to the virtual creation known as 'mankind' is Enki. And we are intelligences trapped in the material world within the virtual creation known as 'mankind'. Our true reality is beyond this material status. In our time as 'mankind' we forget where we truly come from; who our true identities really are ... and exactly how the process of us becoming trapped in the virtual creation in the first place. We forget too the relationship which must exist between our real intelligence and the intelligence behind the Anunnaki false gods. If indeed this material existence is nothing more than an experience within a virtual reality world created by a genetic computer, then we have a life and an identity outside of all of this. In a different reality entirely. Or is this virtual reality based on our true reality, much like virtual computer & console games are loosely based on the 'outside world?'

I know from years of communication and contacts that what we perceive as 'the spirit world' is NOT the other side. It is a continuation of the virtual reality but on a higher vibration. A higher vibration with its own laws and attributes; one of which is the existence of physical forms that vibrate higher than here.

The true other side exists beyond this virtual reality. For the moments we are within this reality ... and it will be moments to our true selves outside of these constraints ... we are somehow made to forget our origins and our true persona's. Why? And how? We can remember if we reprogram our consciousness to do so. We've been programmed somewhere along the line to forget our origins and the mighty truths which go with it .... did we volunteer to have this amnesia? Or is it forced upon us as we descend into the virtual game? How is the link made on the true other side? Is it like being linked to a computer terminal in 'The Matrix' ... as simple as that ... with the commencement of the game when we are 'born' as a baby? I think so ....

ET Genes in Human DNA

Collective research from a growing number of exo-scientists indicates there are genes from over 20 extra-terrestrial civilisations in the human DNA. These exo-scientists have continued the work of Nobel Prize Winner, Dr Francis Crick and other scholars in this field of research.

Exo-scientists and other researchers base their findings on carefully collected data, which includes well corroborated documented observations by contactees and 'whistleblowers' as well as other documentation.

These verified reliable sources have come into contact with representatives of non-Earth Human civilisations living in human populations at-large and also in official capacities.

'Exo-science' is the study of extra-terrestrial phenomenon; and is further associated with exopolitics which embraces the need for humanity to have open contacts with Extra-terrestrials on a representative democratic basis which represents earth's sovereignty.

Dr Francis Harry Compton Crick concluded extra-terrestrial origins in the human genome in to his well known DNA research;

Research efforts inspired by Dr. Michael E. Salla suggest that within the over 20 types of extra-terrestrial genes within human DNA, lies psycho-kinetic abilities associated with the genetic memories of ancient extra-terrestrial races. These apparent psycho-kinetic abilities are associated with the focussing of the creative collective consciousness of being in the universe.

As a result of the countless hundreds of eye witness accounts of 'apparent' extra-terrestrial space crafts, Exo-Scientists theorise this is because 'the extra-terrestrials have sought to observe or intervene on Earth as a result of human beings bearing the genetic footprints of their ancient forebearers" ... read more ...
