Everywhere Our Love Shows
speaking from the heart
I suspect you have noticed ‘the gift’ this year
has already given us. It’s hard to put your fi nger
on... yet it is ‘perfectly real’ in its illusiveness. It
comes with an unusual crispness in the air...
a lightness all around, a bounce in people’s steps
and smiles where there were none before. It boils
down to: As you think it - so it becomes.
I am not saying our lives are free of challenges, quite
the opposite. This is a year where some of our most
dearly beloved have transitioned to more heavenly
realms, leaving us ‘living in a void’. Still, people
are rising up to challenges in a new way. They are
looking for the gifts within and turning lemons into
lemonade. They are truly helping each other - not
out of duty - but out of joyful love, understanding
and compassion - simply because they can. What
a gift, what a miracle in itself.
I have always believed this year -2009- would
present special opportunities we seldom see -possibilities
to right old wrongs - to seize a moment
and ACT. We have been saying on our front cover
since 1993 that we are- ‘dedicated to positive thought
and ACTION...’ and we say it still. Thinking is a good
thing- dreaming is the magic ingredient of new
creations, but nothing happens until we actually
DO something -however small. The tiniest of steps
still propel you forward in the same way that one
little spark can light up the world. Thus, in this
special year, it seems as if a doorway has opened
and all we have to do is turn the handle and watch
as endless opportunities pour forth. Call it what
you will, a doorway/a gateway/a support system
that connects to us with joyful light. It inspires us
to trust - to BELIEVE in ourselves again, to KNOW
we can do the impossible - especially when our lives
are aligned with ‘the source’ of our spirit within. It
is truly a year for the ancient, sacred, invisible geometric
patterns of peace and forgiveness to come
alive and to BE active once again. It is an exciting
time when we open the inner-blinds and let our
hearts shine, and even better, when we appreciate
being here. Good things can spread like wildfi re
and although some of those have been known to
blow out of control, on the other hand, they have
cleared many fresh paths. So it also often appears
to be with our own lives.
Rachel Remen, physician and author of
Kitchen Table Wisdom, wrote “You can get a lot
accomplished if you don’t care who gets the credit.”
How true! And so with 4 months remaining, let’s
utilize it, let’s just do it - without hesitation - not
because of a contract, but just because we can.
We have included many articles in this issue
where the authors are truly speaking to you from
the heart. No false illusions...rather from a powerpoint
of pure love, hoping their words and their
thoughts will have some value for you or your
loved ones. (Note on pg 31 there is a call for the
world to join together on Nov 11 in Peace and
Forgiveness.) YES, powerful times Indeed.
So turn the pages. Smile...wipe a tear...nod
your head...breathe...and in the final analysis, let
life be good to you.

Celebrating Old Friends and ALL The
Lovely New Ones..
It’s been awhile since
we put ‘the nest’ on
page 2, the reason being,
something usually comes in
after our article deadline that is
just ‘too timely’ and I simply HAVE
to get it in. So ‘borrowing’ the nest page is the way
to do it. Also it seems to me that the ramblings of
the editor are often times not necessary at all. In
addition it was a place to print letters to the editor
and brief reminders about ‘events’ there wasn’t
room for in the main pages. However I found that
the letters were generally positive (yeah team,) so
printing words of praise about ourselves seemed
a little ridiculous when I could use that space to
inspire you with something new instead.
This issue is different. You’ll see a photo of a
woman some of you may recognise as Wendie
Webber (Burrows). She was the original owner
of Spiritwood Books in Nanaimo, one of the fi rst
Metaphysical shops on the Island in the late 80’s.
I always loved the way she treated people who
walked through her doors-EVERYONE WAS EQUAL
and she displayed a loving concern for her patrons
that was brighter than the goods on her shelves. I
admired her quick wit, kindness and intelligence,
topped off with a genuine attempt to serve with
integrity. She was truly the instigator for many of
you taking bold new steps forward. What most of
you don’t know is you would not be reading this
page right now if it were not for her. In those days I
wondered why there wasn’t a magazine like this one
on the island. I even went so far as to say I thought
she should expand her store newsletter that had
become a mini spiritual adhesive for many people.
She laughed as she lovingly stared me down and
said ‘Gabriole...I think that’s ‘your’ job. I immediately
said ‘absolutely not’. One must be careful using that
absolutely word, it always comes back! She smiled
and said: “one of these days, you’ll get it”. As you can
see, eventually I did. ‘One of those days’ the ‘lights
went on and I gave in to my mission... creating a tool
where amazing people could come together under one
bannerhead and support others who were looking for
‘something’, even if they didn’t know what it was yet.
A safe place to learn new things... a testing ground
for the ever illusive spiritual gem hiding out as an ordinary word. A place where strangers could become
‘families-by-choice’ and remember to love again
through the power of the written word. I believed the
(w)holy-vibration that radiated even from a distance
could bridge the gap from one heart to another and
leap from a page as a spark of loving-light as the
letters met the reader’s eye. I imagined pages, not
just for adults, but that included the critters and the
children (or perhaps the child within; a place where
dreaming was the order of the day, but where it was
not an excuse to do nothing. ‘Dreaming’ sparked with
a healthy dash of Action-to set the wheels in motion.
Funny thing is, I still believe it...and it all comes back
to Wendie nudging me
to get clear about my
true path.
She eventually retired
from the bookshop
and went on to pursue
a facination in hypnotherapy
and other
things. Always a sponge
for information, she
travelled, studied, practiced,
‘earning’ her titles and credibility. Well, they
say things come full circle and since this is THE YEAR
for people to rise up and share with everyone else
around them. I’m chuckling as I announce that Wendie
IS BACK, inspired to step into the center ring again...
assisting people to fi nd the clarity in their own path.
No Accidents. In a moment of brillance she ‘got it’too,
that lots of people could benefi t from her unique
approach to assisting them to heal themselves, just
like the old days...simply using a different medium.
See page 36 to fi nd out what she is doing now.
As for the letters, bless your hearts, they do come in
and we love them all. The good ones and the ‘shakerupper’
ones, they inspire me to think of ways to make
things better. Your opinions are important. There have
been many times that your letters were the reason I
went back to the computer to create another issue,
when it would have been easier to give it up.
This issue, I wish to acknowlede a letter from Stan S.
(no room to print its 3 pages). I am grateful to this
man who kindly made the effort to compose- and then
actually got up and went to the post offi ce. The letter
was complimentary and questioning at the same time.
It addressed a topic due to be reiterated on our part.
So hats off for the nudge. Stan obviously inspected
every word and commented on the absence of the
word Christian in our pages, although he noted words
of a parallel nature were evident. I was pleased he
felt a resonance of similarity, because LOVE as we
see it, is not specifi c to a single religion. I do believe
it is at the heart of every one. It appears, it is the
frills/bells/and whistles they each offer that causes
dissention in the ranks of the various pews. We’d
like to believe that over the years, our readers have
settled into a common courtesy with each others
respecting different beliefs and accepting that ONE
is really all we are, although the pages seldom look
the same. In some issues, you might fi nd the word
God or Jesus rubbing shoulders with the doves and
crystals. I was brought up Christian myself and
although I do not frequent the alters anymore, I do
give some credit to my early training for who I AM
today. I know I am not alone.
Stan wrote: “May I as an independent Chistian offer
a few words: The God in whom I believe pays no
attention to belief systems (religious or atheist),
loving all unconditionally. All that matters is growing
in love from conception to death and beyond death,
and living the Golden Rule.”
I’m actually pleased to print his thoughts for you
as it is a fi ne example of bringing the best of the
past forward to create a new living tapestry. A cloth
of many colours where the threads are: Loving
gratitude; an ability to say you are sorry-even if you
don’t have to; kindness for each other, respect for
a source beyond your earthy self; and all the little
stitches made of things like...don’t take what isn’t
yours...lying doesn’t work long term, ask for some
loving guidance when you need it; resonnate with
good people, feed the poor and take note in matters
of the spirit, they might have an edge on you when
you arrive at heaven’s door. Accept other’s beliefs but
don’t be swayed away from the ones dear to your
own heart. Together, the threads will weave a new
picture, to share peacefully with each other, whatever
our colour, whatever our sacred design.
Much love to you all, it’s a good day to be part of ‘the
one’ that makes a difference!

When the winds of change blow
Some people build walls, others build windmills
Ancient Chinese Proverb
Table of Contents
When I say No
to Thee, I say Yes
to Me
These days there seems to be an ever
increasing demand upon one’s time.
Have you noticed how easily you can get caught up in
responding to requests from others, without taking a
few moments to refl ect on how the request may impact
your own time and desires?
I believe TIME is one of the most precious gifts we
have each day. I also believe it is my responsibility to
apportion it in ways which support myself. Whether I
am at work, in conversation or in a period of refl ection
or rest – time is precious…
Ask the questions:
“Is this moment fulfi lling my deepest desire?”
“Do I feel supported in this moment?”
“Could I set a boundary regarding this request?”
“It is OK to say NO?”
One of the pitfalls of saying No to others is the guilt
one may feel initially. I know as I say NO to others
without placing blame or justifying myself – the connection
I share with the individual becomes richer. I am
being real about my own expectations and as a result,
the other person is supported by knowing my stand.
When one says Yes to a request – when the true
desire is to say No – it creates an inner struggle of guilt,
blame and judgement. By being honest, our relationships
become stronger and the connection shared is
more supportive of each other.
I encourage you to become aware of those opportunities
for you to say No to those requests which may
drain your energy and to say Yes to yourself and notice
how good it feels.
Today I…
Say Yes to myself
Accept it is OK to say No to others
Release myself of all guilt
Release the need to blame others
And so it is…

Thinking Out Loud about grief and mourning
Living with Contructive Living
These past several week
I have been thinking
a great deal about the
customs of mourning.
It appears to me here in
North America that we
are nudged to be “OK” as
soon as possible following
a death and never to
impose our unhappy state on others (except for the briefest
of moments). In fact, we reward those who act “normal”,
carrying on as though nothing has happened. We use words
like strong, courageous, resilient, “bounced back” and so
on. We are suspicious of grief prolonged. (prolonged being
anything more than a few weeks)
I know that I have also been caught in this web. I have
experienced death a few times and in recent refl ections
realized that there had been no chance to grieve or mourn
those losses. I was reminded of an old friend who took a
sabbatical from work when his wife was dying and then
stayed off work for six or seven months following her
death. The latter struck me intuitively, at that time, as a
wise thing to do, if not an unusual one.
I am now thinking that ‘activity and staying busy and
involved’ isn’t necessarily the antidote to grief. It may be
for some but not for all. “Time out” from all of our obligations
including social ones may be good “Dr.’s “orders”,
and not just for a month. (Each person, of course, will
need to fi gure out Dr.’s orders for themselves).
Even though arm bands, black veils and drawn blinds
are gone, it may be that we could benefi t from a reprieve
from our usual duties, albeit in a sunny room, not a darkened
one. A room where we don’t need to talk or greet or
comfort another but where food magically appears with a
hot cup of tea from time to time, where a fi re is laid and
burning. A room where we can fall asleep in the chair and
where fresh fl owers adorn the single table and where the
cold is banished.
A room where you are automatically excused for not
taking calls, answering emails or from trying to cheer up.
A room where you are free to expect, at any moment, for
your loved one to re-appear; where maybe it has all been
a big mistake, all the while knowing - this won’t happen.
This room would look out onto trees, birds and water,
with a door leading to a path. Where there is no fear of
encountering anyone (no matter how dear) who wants to
offer comfort or be comforted by you. A cloistered place
where one is permitted to be alone with ones thoughts and
fears, and prayers and pain. No excuses are needed here,
to decline lunch or any social gatherings. No explanations
are required.
One day in good time (whenever that is), the desire awakens
to move beyond the walls. It is different for everyone.
No explanation for staying or leaving is required. Life does
indeed move on but not easily or quickly for some, and
not at all by the timeline we typically use in our country.
We speak a great deal about grief, the internal process of
grieving, yet we have few rituals for mourning - how we
express that grief externally.
Thus today, I am holding in my heart those who
mourn. I want to say that there is more than one right
way to go through this pain - that we need to remember to
tread gently with our dear ones and ourselves. For some,
companionship is the answer, for others, solitude is what
helps the most.
An old friend said the way he has dealt with loss is “to
place even more value on the friends who are still there,
and magnify their importance in his life ...” Of course this
is true. It is why we go on living after loss … to be with
our loved ones as we journey together and to appreciate
them while we have the chance. Certainly we need each
other in this life of ours. We need to embrace our humanness,
to be held, to speak, to be silent, to weep and grieve
and mourn, as well as to celebrate. Together.

Sacred Geometry - the architecture of the universe
Sacred Geometry is referred to as the architecture
of the universe - the fingerprint
of God. Everything exists and manifests
through these sacred geometrical proportions and patterns.
Likewise our physical bodies are sacred geometry.
Recently our emotions were recorded by hooking people
up to EKG machines. What they discovered was that each
emotion created a unique sine wave signature, that could
be converted into a three-dimensional form.
Sacred Geometry creates interests in both left and
right-brained individuals, which has been considered
quite rare. It is both an art and a science. For left-brained
individuals who fi nd comfort in structure and patterns,
their analytical side is stimulated through problem solving,
seeking to understand the structure and repetitive
sequencing of patterns.They love working with the ‘parts’.
For right-brained individuals who enjoy looking at the
‘whole’, sacred geometry allows the intuitive mind to
run with wild abandon. It stimulates the heart-mind,
allowing mystical expressions in a variety of artistic
endeavors. Sacred geometry is like trying to fi nd words
where no language can reach. Its simplicity and complexity
allows both hemispheres of our brain to
work together.
A lifetime can be spent understanding just
one aspect of sacred geometry such as The
Flower of Life, Tree of Life, The Golden Ratio
and Fibonacci Numbers.
The essence of sacred geometry
is a single pointedness, a ONEness,
unity or unifi ed wholeness that unfolds into
duality, yet always returns to oneness.
Straight lines represent the male aspect
while curved lines represent the female.
The Flower of Life begins as a single point that
then radiates out into a circle, which is then duplicated
over and over, representing
19 circles surrounded by 2
outer circles. These 2 outer
circles were considered
extremely important in
ancient times. If you look
closely at the Flower of
Life symbol on page 6, you
will notice that there are
incomplete circles on the
outer edges surrounding the
2 outer circles. It was believed
to be too sacred to show the true
extent of the completed circles
called the Fruit of Life, since
those missing circles contained
the 13 systems of knowledge.
The Flower of Life symbol only
represents the feminine.
When adding in straight
lines, there can be 13 different ways in which the male
can be superimposed
over the female. These
thirteen unique ways
produce a vast system of
knowledge that just keeps
expanding out farther
and farther. By drawing
straight lines through the
circles, unique patterns
emerge. The potentials are
endlessly exciting and the
teachings definitely sacred

Energetic Alignment
Brings Relief To People & Horses
For individuals who suffer with chronic pain, tendonitis or
other conditions that are not responding to Western medicine,
a natural healing technique that has proven effective
in Europe for more than 20 years is now
available on central Vancouver Island.
Known in Germany as the “bedradigung”, this
“energetic alignment” technique has proven to
aid people with a variety of symptoms and has
been documented numerous times on the main
European television stations and broadcast
media.
Energetic Alignment is a non-invasive, nomanipulation
method of moving the spine to
straighten the spinal column. It address issues
that for many people go back to the day they
were born, when the trauma of childbirth set
the stage for various conditions. Most common
is the undetected difference in the length of both legs which
throws the entire body off balance.
This alignment is different from a chiropractic alignment,
in that there is no physical manipulation. The good news is
most people need only one treatment and do not require ongoing
appointments. As you might suspect, the discipline can
also be taken to another level. The Energetic Alignment may
be combined with acupressure to address constricted muscles
and trigger points. In these cases, a few more appointments
may be recommended to ensure the muscles “unlearn” their
position when pain is present. The main focus is on soft tissue
and the body’s ability to heal itself when the meridians
(channels of energy) are open and muscles are stimulated with
finger pressure to reorient themselves.
Lissy Rauber, a German native and natural health practitioner
treats individuals and horses with this healing touch. Yes you
heard correctly, horses respond very well to the treatment.
Since this is ‘new’ to most Canadians, people are often
“amazed” by the positive changes in their bodies—whether it
is relief from physical or emotional pain or just the sensation of
feeling more balanced or energized. Many had actually resolved
themselves to living with the aches and pains, especially those
with back or neck pain, and they adjusted their lifestyles and
jobs to avoid aggravating their symptoms of pain.
Lissy says, “Every body endures physical and mental traumas
through life, starting with the birthing process. If there is no
intervention to relieve muscles that are strained
to accommodate the trauma, pain will often
worsen over the years and skeletal degeneration
often occurs. By using my healing training
to open the channels of energy (meridians), I
simply help the body heal itself”.
One problem that exaggerates situations is
most people with chronic pain resort to painkillers.
To alleviate the agony over many years the
prescribed drugs get stronger and it seems to
keep on going with little relief in sight. Added
to that, the side effects of the drugs are often
very destructive. After the Energetic Alignment
and acupressure, most people report their pain is
relieved. The natural healing ability of the body
kicks in; it seems like a miracle to some people, but it’s not.
The body just needs a little help moving in the right direction,
some gentle guidance, so to speak. In addition to remaining free
from pain, there is often a dramatic improvement in a person’s
balance - no doubt because the legs are equal again.
Horse trainers also speak with amazement about the results
seen when lame or sick horses are treated. One horse was so
lame, the owners and vet saw this treatment as a “last resort”
before euthanasia. The results were so signifi cant, the owner
is still riding the horse today. The horse no doubt would throw
in all his horseshoes and call that a very lucky day!
One of the many blessings in these times, is the world is
getting smaller. When people relocate they bring what is ‘common
place’ at home to their new country. Helarion Energetic
Alignment truly is a wonderful gift from an old county.
Lissy Rauber sees clients at her Black Creek home office and
schedules appointments at Curves in Courtenay as well. She
can make house calls for horses, or clients can take their horses
to her farm in Black Creek. 250-337-1845

SoulCollage Cards... doing it YOUR way!
SoulCollage® is a Spiritual
Practice (that is, it connects
us to and nurtures
our spirits, and it is something
we do). We make a unique set of
personal SoulCollage® Cards. In
the process our imagination and
intuition come alive as if emerging
from a long winter slumber.
We can then draw one or many
cards to provide inspiration and
guidance as we proceed on our
life’s journey. And the beauty of
it is, the inspiration comes from
deep within our own soul.
In SoulCollage®, as shown in
these examples, we pull images
from magazines, books, photographs,
cards and calendars. This is always done with
respect and gratitude for the artists and photographers
who contribute to our ability to create SoulCollage®.
We cut the images just so and arrange them on 5 x 8 mat
board cards and then glue them down. Every SoulCollage
® card is a work of art. What could be more fun?
SoulCollage® is like a mandala: a complete, circular,
unifi ed method of self discovery and self expression. It
is as intricate as a Tibetan Sand Painting - the purpose
of which is to take a long, loving look at ourselves. In this
gentle process we come to understand and accept our own
particular story and begin to appreciate how it weaves into
the larger story of our local and global
community. It is an inspired and generous gift
from Seena B. Frost, founder and creator of
SoulCollage® .
Story is at the heart of SoulCollage®. Every
card you make tells a story and every card also
has an energy and a presence all its own.
The cards are grouped
around five central
themes.
The Committee Suit
consists of our inner voices
that direct and sometimes
mis-direct our lives. For
example; The Busy Bee,
The Free Spirit, The Inner
Critic, The Pleaser,
The Dependable One and
many more. Like any
committee, these voices
argue back and forth,
demanding to be heard.
In SoulCollage® we give
them all air-time.
The Community Suit includes all those people
alive or dead who are dear to our heart, such as:
family, friends, teachers, authors, community leaders
and others who impact our lives. Here, we would also
include pets.
I treasure all of my 65 Soul
Collage® cards and enjoyed making
every one. But there is something
about The Companion Suit that
makes my heart sing. This is the
suit that reconnects us with our
physical bodies and our animal
nature. Through guided imagery,
giving our imagination free rein, we
discover our animal guides, one for
each of the seven energy centers or
chakras. Mine include bears, birds
and butterflies.
The Council Suit pulls us into
the mysterious realm of the universal
archetypes. In Seena’s words: “They
are metaphors whose images grab
and hold us. These are the invisible
guides, challengers, creators and
destroyers, known across time and
cultures by many names, yet somehow,
universally in the collective
unconscious of the human race.”
(SoulCollage® An Intuitive Collage
Process for Individuals and Groups
by: Seena B. Frost. p. 44/45) They
go by many names. Here are but a
few to pique your interest: The Great
Mother, The Hero(ine), The Warrior,
The Pilgrim, The Lamplighter, The
Magician.
At the centre of our SoulCollage
® universe are The Three
Transpersonal Cards: The Source,
SoulEssence and The Witness. Like
a many faceted diamond they radiate
energy and refl ect the light of each
and every card. They transcend our
limited personal story.
The Source represents that from
which we all emerge and to which
we all return. The names ultimately
refl ect our personal belief systems.
For example, The Unknowable,
Ultimate Reality, God, The Void,
Buddha, Brahmin, Infi nite Compassion,
Great Spirit and others.
SoulEssence is our essential
nature, that divine spark, at the very
core of our being that wants us to
express our unique contribution
to the world. It is the driving
force that keeps us going in the
face of adversity. James Hillman
calls it our Soul’s Code in his
book by the same title, “The Soul’s
Code: In Search of Character
and Calling.”
The Witness is the over arching,
non-judgmental presence that
sees us, walks beside us and calls
us to the Quest to fi nd our personal
Holy Grail.
The images for these three cards
are best discovered in a reverent
meditative state. When we do readings,
these three cards hold place
of honor front and centre.
Seena suggests we make these
cards early on in our process;
however, there is no dogma in
SoulCollage®, only guidelines,
recommendations and principles.
(See “Principles of SoulCollage®)
such as; “SoulCollage® cards are
not to be sold, traded, or bartered;
they are to be reproduced only for
the personal use of the maker of the
card. SoulCollage® cards may be
shared as examples to illustrate the
SoulCollage® process.”
SoulCollage® gives new meaning
to the saying, “everyone is an
artist.” It is now my daily practice
and I look forward to introducing
it to Kindred Spirits on Vancouver
Island and beyond.

The Atlas Alignment
Our spine is made up of bones, called
vertebrae, which are connected together
by ligaments and muscles. The vertebrae
cover and protect the spinal cord, which
carries sensory messages to and from
the brain, controlling all of our bodily
functions. At the very top of our spine is
the vertebra called the cervical (C1) or commonly referred
to as the ‘atlas’. To understand how the body may not
function correctly if this vertebrae is not properly aligned,
it is necessary to have a closer look at the biomechanics
of the body.
The fi rst cervical vertebra
(atlas) affects the
equilibrium of the whole
skeleton. It is meant to
keep our heads in an
optimum position on the
cervical vertebrae and give
maximum mobility.
Here’s an example.
Let’s say that you want to
build a high tower made out of wooden blocks. You begin
to pile up the blocks with great precision. If you put your
top block on your high tower just slightly off its center,
the tower will eventually collapse because it is lopsided
and has lost its balance. Our spine can be thought of in
much the same way. Can you imagine what happens when
the weight of our head is held on that lopsided angle of
our spine? The ligaments, sinew and muscles, which
directly and subtly restore the balance, become strained
and compensate for the improper posture.
This misaligned vertebrae can affect the alignment
of the entire spine. The spine is like a chain, if the fi rst
link is twisted and turned, each link following below will
also be twisted and turned, disrupting the entire length
of the spine. The human body is balanced when the head
is positioned over the center of the feet. When the atlas
is misaligned, it causes the head to tilt. The spine then
shifts to support the weight of the head, thereby creating
biomechanical and postural stresses and strains.
The pelvis may also lose its optimum position. Ninetyfi
ve (95%) percent of all seemingly leg-length inequalities
can be attributed to a misalignment of the pelvis. Any
postural faults of the pelvis will inevitably lead to additional
tenseness of the muscles. Misalignment of the
pelvis in turn, causes increased stress and strain on the hip
joints, knee joints etc and as a consequence, the nerves
are disturbed, causing a malfunction of the entire spinal
column because they can no longer correctly transmit
vitally important signals from the brain.
We can also aggravate this misalignment by sitting
in an improper posture: sitting with our legs crossed,
twisted and hunched over while we watch TV or work
at the offi ce. Combine that
with the everyday stress of
modern life, such as family
conflicts and financial troubles;
the combined stress and strain
both physically and mentally
can wreck havoc on our already
overburdened bodies.
The Atlas Alignment or
Vitalogie (as its referred to
in Europe) is well known in
Switzerland and Germany.
The effectiveness of this preventative method has been
confi rmed in a clinical research study done with 160
patients. Although the symptoms had not been taken into
account in any of these cases, the overall well-being of
the patients increased by 35% in physical terms and 26%
in psychical terms. This result had been achieved in as

Welfare not Warfare
I have had an astounding number of
revelations over the years that I have
taught horticulture, but none have
been as profound as the realization
that the way we have been growing
things for the last 50 years or so, is
wrong. We were wrong in our methodology,
our philosophy and wrong
with our science. It is very humbling
to have to admit to the hundreds of people I have taught that
I was wrong, yet I am anxious to share the lessons I have
learned and to correct my mistakes.
It seems that both agriculture and horticulture have gone
through many phases in my lifetime. When I was young
everyone on my street had a compost pile, and everyone I
knew had a garden. My parents never dreamed of spraying
poison around the food we were going to eat. It seemed
there was no need. My mother was careful to put a bucket
of compost, a handful of bone-meal (before bone-meal was
contaminated by lead) and a handful of blood-meal under
every tomato plant. She planted nitrogen-loving lettuce next
to nitrogen-fi xing beans and watered carefully by hand. One
of my fondest memories as a child was helping my parents
make salsa; grinding the tomatoes, peppers, and onions we
grew with a hand grinder attached to a wooden bench that
my father brought into the kitchen. The onions of course,
were so pungent that we would predictably cry as we were
grinding away. We were a strong family and had a strong
community.
Somewhere along the line, maybe the late fi fties or early
60’s in my town, compost piles seemed to earn the reputation
of being messy, and everyone in town was under social
pressure to not have one. The garden seemed to not thrive
as it used to. Every year it got smaller and smaller and was
fi nally replaced by lawn. Meanwhile, the neighbors had
discovered chemical fertilizers. Although they grew giant
zucchini and cucumbers they also found that they had a new
battle on their hands. There seemed to be sudden invasions
of plant eating insects. I guess they
fi gured it lucky to be able to run to
the store and grab some insecticide
to help them in their fi ght. Across the
country and throughout a lot of the
industrial world farmers were finding
themselves in the same situation. It
seemed like a wonderful solution
to be able to kill the invaders in our
farms and gardens with a quick spray of poison. We never
stopped to think about the far reaching consequences in both
the scientifi c and philosophical realms. We were in the midst
of a huge shift away from the harmonious co-existence with
earth’s micro-creatures to a full scale war to control them.
The very roots of the chemical fertilizer industry lie
embedded in warfare. Large factories that had been manufacturing
explosives found themselves out of business after
World War II. Through the wonders of modern science and
corporate lack of conscience, the same chemical substances
that make bombs are chemically identical to the chemical
fertilizers we use today, and the destruction that they spread
is just as frightening. Yet that is the way I was originally
taught how to grow things in school, and is the way I grew
things as my job as a Horticulture Technician.
Mycorrhizae fungus colonize plant roots and help them
break down nutrients. They also form a protective layer
around the roots that protect them from disease. They seem
to have a mutually benefi cial relationship that is so important
to plants and plants have been found to share up to 80% of
the carbohydrates they manufacture with the mycorrhizae.
Mycorrhizae have been known to help plants share water
and nutrient resources with other plants in the same plant
community. Unfortunately many of the modern horticultural
practices we have been taught destroy mycorrhizae. When
we fertilize with chemical fertilizers we often kill these
important allies, and inhibit their growth and weaken soil
and plant communities. This causes us to need to continually
add fertilizer year after year to compensate for the loss
of mycorrhizae. Another loss that occurs
with chemical fertilizers is that of
benefi cial bacteria, which can capture
nitrogen right from thin air and make it
available for plants. This bacteria can
supply up to a third of the plant’s nitrogen
needs. There are also decomposers
that are present to break down organic
matter. When we substitute chemical
fertilization for added organic matter, we
starve these organisms and the natural
cycle is severely disrupted.
The soil is composed of many pieces
and parts. There are living and non-living
components of the soil, and each component
plays an important role in providing
the plants that live there with health and
nourishment. Sand, gravel, silt, clay and
loam are some of the non-living components,
along with organic matter that
is fully decomposed. The living part of
healthy soil has amazing bio-diversity.
There are creatures large and small that
live there. In soil with good biological
diversity there is a balance of creatures,
and no one organism completely takes
over to the detriment of the others. There
are bacteria, fungi, springtails, worms,
millipedes, centipedes, ground beetles,
and many more. If one organism’s
population becomes overly large due
to favorable environmental conditions,
the organisms that consume them also
have a population increase, which will
in turn level out the fi rst population. It
is a simple and elegant system.
In this system each organism has a
job to do. The organisms that we call
pests have an important role to play in the
ecosystem. Insects and diseases are the
clean-up crew. They help plant families
stay strong by removing plants that are
genetically weak or those that have been
weakened by stress from the gene pool,
before they can reproduce. This process
has insured the survival of the species
in the wild for time immemorial. By
spraying plants with pesticides instead
of allowing nature to take it’s course,
we are weakening the entire species and
perpetuating our problems. The warfare
system is actually working against us,
because the more we spray a weak or
stressed plant to keep it alive, the more
we will need to spray, not only the plant
itself, but the future generations of that
plant. If we focused our attention on the
welfare of the plant we would be much
better off. Instead of “shooting the messenger”
insect or disease organism that
is warning us that our plants need more
food, water, or protection, let’s provide
our plants with a good, balanced diet of
healthy soil, rich in organic matter. By
providing proper nutrition to the soil as
well as the plant by adding large amounts
of compost and organic matter we can
nurture the plant–soil community and
keep pests in balance. Compost is full
of organisms like the mycorrhizae that
help us provide food, water, and disease
protection to our plants. If we concentrated
on the welfare of our plant–soil
communities rather than warfare on the
organisms that attack the weak, we would
be building up much stronger communities
that could resist these attacks.
As a Professional Horticulturalist as
well as a backyard gardener, I am often
struck by profound parallels between
plant communities and human communities.
It seems to me that our horticultural
practices for the last 50 years have
refl ected the warfare mentality that we
witness in our human community every
evening on the news and in every newspaper
we read. I can’t help but wonder
what would happen if we all made the
shift from concentrating on the idea of
warfare to concentrating on the idea
of true welfare of our human communities.
If we diverted money away
from warfare and into the true welfare of
our fellow humans, if we truly strived to
provide good nutritious food, water and
protection for the weaker members of society,
and those that have been stressed by
lack of resources or genetic weaknesses,
wouldn’t we be much better off?

A Sincere letter to Women...
Please Don't Leave Your Men Behind!
I acknowledge that this
article might be controversial
for some people. I
appreciate the editors for
being brave enough to
publish it and I honour
the readers for being
open-minded enough
to read it. This is an
important subject,
especially during these tumultuous times. I believe our
relationships are under a lot of extra stress right now...
fi nancial worries, pandemic scares and a long list of other
challenging situations are turning up the heat in our lives.
Many people are aware that the perceived world chaos is
actually part of a beautiful and loving divine plan that
requires us to move forward with faith, patience and
persistence in all areas of our lives. I feel that women
are more aware of this shift in consciousness and for
the most part, are embracing the changes. Many men,
on the other hand, are confused by the shift - feeling
threatened by the changes. So this is a request directed
to women – please do not leave your men behind, (or vice
versa in some cases).
Our relationships are an important part of the divine
plan and right now, they desperately need some tender
loving care. So many are in jeopardy! This is an important
time to exercise faith, patience and persistence. Some of you might be thinking, “But you don’t know my husband. He is
stubborn, lazy, and a pain in the butt and I don’t have a thread
of patience left in my body.” You are right, I do not know your
partner, but I’m a man and I do know that men need your help.
I acknowledge that some relationships run their natural course
and are destined to end. However if a relationship ends in a
mutual understanding, then usually the karma around it was
fulfi lled and the partners can stay connected as friends.
Unfortunately, most breakdowns come with a lot of fi nancial
and emotional stress. The partners are often angry and
vengeful. The post-relationship becomes a battleground for
the “ex’s”and a feeding frenzy as the sharks in suits pick away
at the legal leftovers. Regardless of the circumstances that led
to the relationship breakdown, -not enough time to make it
work, -not enough effort on both partners parts, -a failure in
one’s obligation to be a loving partner...I am going to go out on
a limb and suggest that many relationship breakdown because
men do not grow spiritually at the same rate as women do. The
partners literally grow apart. I make this observation based on
thousands of interviews and informal discussions I have had
with women at tradeshows and meetings, during my work with
Syncrohearts. I learned a lot about relationships and the question
that always came up was why are there so many ‘single’,
spiritually minded women? Where did the men go?
This topic touches my heart because I have witnessed too
many male friends who were “left behind”. I admit, some of
them chose to stay behind, but others were shocked when their
partners said goodbye. The women in their lives had embarked
on a fast track spiritual journey. The men were intimidated by
their partner’s new found power and wisdom. They felt isolated
and lost in the sanctuary that their women had entered. Some
were curious, some got mad and some gave up. They felt they
could not keep up. Ladies we need your help. I know it’s a lot
to ask... to hold our hands, guide us and help us grow. Try to be
patient with us as we learn to be comfortable with the Goddess
energy that is rising within and expanding around the planet.
In the reality CBC TV program, “The Day the Women Left
Town”, it was comical to watch the men struggle on their own.
On the other hand, it was rather sad to see how we need to be
in desperate situations before we appreciate each other. I think
it is safe to say that partners must grow together to ensure
survival, and I believe we can help each other do that. If we are
all one, then we have a responsibility to help our partner grow.
If we leave them behind, we might leave a piece of ourselves
with them. And if you are a man don’t be afaid to ask for help.
It takes a strong person to do that; it is not a sign of weakness,
it is a sign that your love is strong and true and willing to DO
what needs to be done to make it work!

Living from the Heart
The Difference Between Love and LOVE
In our search for enlightenment and fi nding God
in our heart, we need to know something very
important - the feeling of unconditional love.
Listening to ‘The Most Important Video’ on YouTube,
I realized why so many people have problems getting into
the feeling of unconditional love. Unconditional Love
is a love that is able to forgive and in the same breath,
embraces all of God’s creation. Dr. Eric Pearl describes it
as “the love that one experiences in a near-death-experience,
not the Hallmark Greeting Card love”.
Why is it so diffi cult to get into this feeling of all
embracing love? I think one reason may be because too
many of us are constantly operating from our left brain,
always asking for scientifi c proof, and are even proud to
be left-brained. The power of Unconditional Love, on the
other hand, appears to operate solely from the other side by
following intuition, defying logic with what feels right...
no need for reasons... the heart speaks and you follow.
I have many different friends…some with high leftbrain
intelligence, and others with a high right-brain
intelligence. I love them all dearly, but to be honest,
when my life is in a tricky situation I seek the wisdom
of the right-brained person. The right brain gives us the
information we need for survival, the inner ‘knowing’ of
what to do. Although the left brain can be brilliant and
extremely helpful, sometimes ‘too much thinking and
too many questions’ is just too much. Logic and analysis
needs to giveway to the voice of our heart.
During this SHIFT into the new fi fth-dimensional
world, we would do well to let go of our need to be
intelligent, better than others and always nurturing our
EGO. We need to open our hearts and fi nd this equilibrium
again. I believe in order to fi nd that special place
within, we need to allow ourselves to use our right and
left brain equally.
I learned through ‘The Most Important Video’, that
the place in our heart where God resides often cannot
be accessed because old emotional trauma we have
experienced is blocking it. Call it an ‘automatic defense
mechanism’ perhaps, but often when we try to go there,
the pain becomes so intense that we instantly ‘shut the
door’ in a self protecting manner. It makes sense to me
that we need to learn to love ourselves enough to let go
of our past emotional trauma, the battle scars...call it what
you wish, but it all amounts to unhealthy feelings that do
not serve us anymore.
Dr. Eric Pearl travels the world non-stop teaching
Reconnective Healing® and The Reconnection®, urging
the certifi ed practitioners to spread the word about this
NEW form of healing on the planet. It is an important
time to open up to new ways of doing things - to endless
possibilities that perhaps were not there before. He says,
“If you are lucky, your healing will come in the form you
anticipate. If you’re really lucky, your healing will come
in a form you’ve not even dreamed of – one which the
Universe specifi cally has in mind for you.”
Yes, there is an unspoken urgency these days to raise
our vibrations, to be in a state of all embracing love. For
some, the energetic SHIFT is the motivation, but for others,
it is the realization that higher vibrations also neutralize
lower vibrations and that includes germs/bugs and even
chemicals. The highest vibration on earth is love, and old
examples from different scriptures support that thought.
Jesus didn’t walk the planet carrying a briefcase full of
manuals... he carried everything he needed in his heart.
... and so can we. Miracles followed in his footsteps so
why not again! It is time to heal ourselves from the inside
out. Time to join hands to generate a powerful surge
of this love-vibration for the world.

release old energetic patterns. Call 250-756-2235 for dates of

The Power of Love
The Wings of The Dove
Allelujah
If you have paid any attention over the past
years to ‘the talk’ that goes on around you,
you will have no doubt heard fl utterings
of the DOVE word popping in from all
angles. For some it appears to be a ‘code’
word of sorts - the problem is, you usually
don’t know what the code is for. For
others it brings back old memories of the
‘Holy Ghost’ fl ying in the form of a bird, or
when the ghost transformed into ‘spirit’. It
was the bird that fascinated you... hovering
over altars with rays of light streaming from
its wings. The stories go on from different
sources but the sweet white bird continues
to be an icon for peace and a sign of
hope around the world.
If your attention was caught by the
illustration on the proceeding page, you
may recognize it as one from the book,
‘The Keys of Enoch’...published in 1977
by jj Hurtak. /www.keysofenoch.org/
According to that book there will come a
time when the people of Light will return,
bringing a new era of peace to the land
and the pattern of the dove will activate
the North Americas. In terms of the Dove
picture, and others of the 12 points of a
world energy grid, Vancouver Island and
Nova Scotia are considered to be #6 & #9 of
the 12, while serving a dual purpose as key
locations on the wings of the Dove. Note
that the water, the stones and crystals will
also play an important role in the process.
Other sources have varying degrees of the
same story. We are not saying this is true. But
since many of you ask us about ‘this dove
stuff ’, we are showing you the drawing so
you can see for yourself.
What we do align our thoughts with,
is the concept that North Amercia and its
people have the potential to be leaders in
bringing peace and love to the world. We
do believe in the power of water to shift
and move and literally change its crystalline
patterns when under the positive
infl uence of people as co-creators. We
printed photos of that years ago and there
is plenty to educate you at http://www.
masaru-emoto.net
In terms of our little part of heaven
here on earth, we know we have lots of
water and plenty of rocks. As for Canada,
Vancouver Island plays a key role in holding
that precise vibration of loving light
- a vessel of the heart. Nova Scotia on the
East Coast of the Atlantic Provinces, emits
a power of Peace that is unparalled. It is a
place where music rules the roost and the
people are not afraid to sing and dance
even when they are 90. That is the sound...
vibration... the communication tools of
great healing.
The power of the Dove is an expression
to denote that concept of peace and love
and its ability to expand swiftly, easily
and with grace...a power that is capable of
getting places another form could not...a
gentle messenger bringing good news and
hope and a sense of freedom for all - not just
a few but for everyone. The dove is a sign from ‘the god within’ that you are indeed
alive and well and capable of rising up and
fl ying with purpose again.
Energetically right now on planet earth,
there is a quiet movement happening. That
which was stagnant is slowly beginning
to circulate again. People who have been
hiding from their own goodness are feeling
proud of who they are. Compassion is on
the upsurge and the sheer dynamics of
this year, 2009 (being an 11) is supporting
as many positive decisions as we are brave
enough to make. That elusive power of
transformation does not have to be destructive,
as many would lead you to believe. Why
would that be so, we ask you? How could it,
if we truly believe in the power of our loving
thoughts , the proof the water gives us of the
miracle of prayer and words spoken with
intention. If we believe, how could we not
join the ranks of ‘all the independant people
co-creating a transformative process that
eventually includes everyone? One powered
by a peaceful vibration that becomes
a motor to serve the world. I am even more
sure of what I say, if you take a moment to
listen to the young people peacefully coming
together and fi nding solutions to many
of the words problems. Check out www.
FreeTheChildren.com/weday/vancouver. I
believe we are the ones we have been waiting
for and everyday the sun wakes up, so does
‘someone out there some where’ and the
wheels turn... and the dove coos... and every
heart can open to the sound....Allelujah !

Program Your Mind
before it programs you
Have you ever been told that
you can’t do something in
your life? You have a great
idea and the feeling is there…then
all of a sudden, you’re told the exact
opposite of what you know in your
heart is right, and you feel yourself
and your energy shrinking. The idea
goes out the window and out of your
mind until it is long forgotten. How
often do we stop ourselves from moving
ahead with a great idea or decision
for the fear of what others may think
of us? I love how Bob Proctor puts it,
“It is none of your business what others
think about you”. Clearly, it is not
your concern how others will react to
your great or outrageous idea. Follow
your instincts, nobody knows better
than yourself.
In reality, the only thing that should
matter is what you think of yourself.
So let’s get down to the truth…how
do you really feel about yourself?
When you look into a mirror, whom
do you truly see? Are you living your
life freely or are others infl uencing
you? Are you concerned with what
society might think about you, your
life or your ideas?
How do you program your mind?
Begin by tracking your thoughts and
watch for any patterns that surface
over and over again. When you catch
yourself going back into
old programming, be
aware of where the negative
thought originated,
then go back into the
situation and change
the old belief. Correct
it by replacing it with a
positive thought and continually
replace, ‘can’t’
with ‘can’! Remember
the words of Henry Ford,
“Whether you think you
can or you think you
can’t, either way you
are right”.
Wouldn’t now be a
good time to start reprogramming
yourself with positive
thoughts, intentions and ideas?
If you have been allowing others
to navigate your life’s journey, step
into your own power and reclaim
yourself.
As humans we need to constantly
remind ourselves about the unlimited
potential that we have, both within
and without. Life is full of challenges
and obstacles that help us to grow as
unique individuals, so we can inspire
one another. However, if we don’t stay
on top of monitoring our thoughts and
feelings, we can easily slip into old
habits. The key is to turn any habit into
a positive one. Just as you brush your
teeth every day, you should Program
your mind on a daily basis. Eventually
the old beliefs about yourself and what
you thought you couldn’t do will fade
away, until you realize and embrace
the fact that anything is possible if you
really put your mind to it.

What is Shaluha Ka?
All healing therapies are a partnership
between the client and the practitioner.
In order to receive any healing benefi ts from
therapy, the client needs to allow the practitioner
to support them in their “self-healing process”.
The different techniques involved remind the client she
already has the tools and abilities to help the self.
Shaluha Ka originated in Guatemala, and is a
therapy practiced by the monks who live there. It was
created to help people connect with the Kabala Tree
of Life. The Kabala is an ancient wisdom explaining the
creation of the world and the ten centres related to it.
These centres relate to different parts of the body and the
ten major energies located within us. When these energies
are out of balance, it upsets the natural equilibrium
and creates a lack of stability in our lives, Shaluha Ka
stabilizes us.
Shaluha Ka means “Messages from the Spirit”. By
calling upon the client’s spirit, the practitioner and client
work together to help the client experience a deeper
level of awareness and understanding of themselves and
the universe. As well as supporting the healing process,
Shaluha Ka will help relax, restore, balance and energize
the body, mind and soul.
By using a variety of therapies (massage, refl exology,
crystals, aura cleansing and energy channelling), relaxing
the body and mind and creating a deeper sense of
consciousness, the practitioner is able to help the client
achieve the desired effect.
Shaluha Ka has been very helpful for a variety of
conditions such as: migraines, chronic pain associated
with back injuries, stiff shoulders, etc., for
emotional issues; such as dealing with the loss of a loved
one, better clarity of one’s life and of where they need to
be. All it takes is an open mind and the willingness to
let the energy take you to where it needs to go for that
particular day.
This treatment is a very unique one, in that it can open
the pathway to greater expansion of mind and spirituality.
Thus it assists in creating a better sense of well-being,
enlightenment, clarity and focus for your life path.

Crystal Happy Heads
Grandfather heard some of you ask
questions about the Happy Heads. So he
will tell you a little bit. A long long time
ago - before you counted days and nights,
all the old chiefs had made friends with a
crystal head. They were people of great
guidance (even though you might say
they were just old rocks). To the chief,
anything that had the intelligence to be
wise and loving were called people. These
were stone people and we were always
grateful for their loving help. They were
the finest healers - ever. The beauty of
them was they didn’t care who got the
credit...they worked together as a unit
and understood the complex patterns of
the inner working of mother earth. They
also knew a lot about the great source
of light within them that was nourished
by the light in the sky. They shared what
they knew and used their power wisely.
There were 12 plus 1 of them and (just
like the chiefs), you’ll have to figure out
yourself how many that is.
They were the real teachers of the
times. Each head had different characteristics...
some of them were funny and
some were regal, some were accelerators
of the energy of the wheels of creation
and some watched...guarding the gateways
so life could transcend. They were
like the original chiefs who loved them,
you could count on them for anything.
If you had something to do and didn’t
have enough people ready to help, they
would take a place and hold the vibration
of love with such clarity that everything
was stable, and all GOOD things could
be accomplished.
Grandfather knows you want to know
where they came from; all he will tell you is it was a very special, sacred place. They
appeared with great trust and still to this
day, Dragonfly holds true to his promise of
not speaking of their source. There is no
reason everyone has to know everything
about them - it is more honourable to respect
that they came to be of assistance.
Besides, when the time is energetically
sound, they’ll tell you themselves. They
came, because the people needed the
wisdom they held. They made themselves
to look like our heads because that was
a real quick way for people to get the
message about themselves. LOVE LOVE
LOVE, that is all there is! They were amazing,
truly AWEsome, and each old chief
resonated with one and was a guardian
of a stone. When the chiefs and heads all
came together, everyone smiled and the
heads were happy to be of service. They
came to teach the people about love and
being full of light, and staying on mother
earth at the same time. They came to
sing a higher frequency so life could move
freely and peacefully and there would be
no lack. They were not afraid - they were
peaceful and full of joy. They still are, but
sometime between then and now the chiefs
forgot their purpose, and the people got
hungry for control and the balance of life
here disappeared. That’s when the heads
knew the time was not right anymore and
they would have to take a step back and
wait for the people to remember again.
They had all the time in the world because
there was no time.
Later on, people told stories as they
remembered and the stories got worn out
and mixed up. There was a circle of heads all right and it was good - it was ALLways
good. In your time, people have tried
to use them to scare others, but it was
wrong. So those heads shifted their power
source so only people who cleared their
hearts of anger and jealousy (etc) would
hear them talking. They talked a lot; that’s
why their teeth were so important, even
thought they didn’t really move. There
were different kinds of teeth and different
shapes of heads, and a long time after
Dragonfly’s time, there were other shapes
that came and tried to pretend to be the
ancient wise ones but most people didn’t
fall for the tricks - their hearts knew the
difference. It was OK though, the crystal
heads will not play if the vibration is
wrong and they still won’t. They’ll just sit
there looking like a pretty rock. The old
chiefs ‘prepared’ to be in their presence
especially when more than one came
together. It was a big ceremony and good
things happened.
These days people want to bring back
the circle of original crystal heads, but you
can’t do it alone..it takes a lot of hearts to
create love big enough to do that. It takes
more than just the keepers of the heads,
and the ones that are keepers need to
remember the sacred patterns and align
themselves in that way. Dragonfly will be
very excited when that day comes again,
it will be perfect. Best you practice just
being together peacefully with the stones
first. Right now, pretty much all of the old
heads are invisible, still some good old
ones are with you making things ready
for their return. Really you don’t want all
those old ones coming back together
yet, because the vibration would be too
different from your own. The truth is, it is not your words they listen to, it is your heart... when the love
song is perfect, they will return.
Nowadays, people are making heads for you from good
stones; they are not old but the stones are old. They are not from
the place the first ones came from, but the rocks remember the
vibration and are happy to help you or your great grandchildren
get ready for the real ones. Some things are
still true ...some heads serve you better than
others - just like in your own families, all the
brothers/sisters don’t do things the same.
The new heads are coming now, along
with some real older ones, to teach you.
Some of you like to think you can do every
thing by yourself and don’t need a teacher
- but it’s just a word for ‘a great gift’. A true
teacher doesn’t come to tell you what to do,
they come to pave a way and open doors so you can find your
own way easier. That’s good. You gotta remember that when
you came to mother earth, a lot of what you knew before was
hidden from you - so why not be grateful to have some friends
help you remember again. The key to unlocking the mysteries
that the heads bring, is you gotta get a lot of special people
together on the same track, with love so big - it goes beyond
the sky. When you look at a crystal head, look for the love - they
will teach you to look beyond the illusion.
Nowadays you got lots of carvers making heads and some
of them don’t understand the stones they are carving. Some are
not patient enough to listen to the invisible heads song while
they are carving. The ancient heads would help the carver if
they let them! Some carvers do that and then the heads they
make are real good tools to help you find your own crystal head
inside yourself. Some forget to say their prayers and then they
carve heads that look funny... Dragonfly says, no wonder some
of them make you uncomfortable because they are not reflecting
the crystal’s energy. They are energetically unbalanced. So they
just get to be ‘a carving’ with no real purpose. That’s because
the crystal had to go to a very quiet place. That’s a little problem
because some of you are judging them all by some
that aren’t right. You are superimposing your own
emotions onto their faces. That’s too bad.
When you look at a head with love and no
criticism, you begin to unlock the healing. Look for
the personality it carries because there is more to it
than just a piece of rock. There is a possibility that
if the head resonates with you and you can hear
its heartbeat - then you can be good friends. They
are good fun and like to go places with you and help you make
your dreams come true. Soft and gentle, strong and beautiful,
kind and loving; special just like the old ones - only different.
They are just like the old ones but tuned better to the frequency
you can handle now, so you can practice what it’s like living with
a family like that again... co-creating peace and forgiveness. So
many things they will show you by their example - especially how
to get along with each other.
I love you very much - as much as I love the water—
Grandfather Dragonfl y speaks from the spirit of an ancient
Vancouver Island Chief who shares his love, wisdom and ways
of the ‘old ones’ with great joy. His speech is slow - thoughtful
and ‘unpolished’ yet always full of love. He is grateful to ‘the
one who hears crystals singing’ for lending him her voice.

Peace and Forgiveness For All
EARTHWIDE - November 11/ 2009
Dear EAGLEyeONE, Greetings,
Beloved, beautiful, very ‘spiritually awakened’
ones! Please SET your calendar for
Nov. 11, 2009 - as our collective Earthwide
“Peace and Forgiveness of All” day.
Nothing happens by accident... and all
things on Earth always work for the ‘good
of all’. I hope you will be with us and support
our collective human consciousness
by posting my Call to Action notice and
notify readers of our - Nov. 11, 2009 -
“Peace and Forgiveness of All” day.
As you may know, I was inspired to
introduce the concept and the word
“soulmate” to mass human consciousness
on Earth in 1971 with my fi rst book on
soulmates, “Finding Your Soulmate” - (still
selling in 12 languages 38 years later) a
word unknown to the masses then, but
after more than 500 Radio and TV talk
show appearances - over a period of 10
years - the word ‘soulmate’ is now dearly
embedded in the hearts and on the lips
of almost everyone abiding on Earth--in
all languages!
As you further well know, nothing can
stop an idea ‘when its time’ has come!
Ditto - for our “Peace and Forgiveness of
All” day. Nov. 11, 2009
Note.... The below “Call to Action” was
posted to many thousands of Lightworkers
in my Aug. 3, 2009 ‘Michael Worldwide
Newsletter’.
CALL TO ACTION
As our Archangels and Ascended Masters
of Earth have revealed, the vibratory frequency
of Gaia, our living Earth planet, and
all life on Earth has now reached a required
high ‘end times’ pitch and THUS NOW a
‘collective human INTENT’ immediately
AND IMMENSELY calls ‘quantum physics’
into play! Miracles, instant manifestations,
instant healings, and seemingly magical
collapses of time, space and motion will
become more and more humanly common,
public and self evident.
For those of us who are awake, ready and
willing, our individual and mass physical
body and Being Ascension--without experiencing
physical body death--is assured!
Remember, if it is just you and me alone,
As Jesus the Christ Consciousness Master
we know and love dearly said--”when
two or more are gathered together in My
Name”- we have His promise of us then
creating an immense power of manifestation.
So let’s you and I begin! Let us begin
NOW--let’s set the date of Nov, 11, 2009 as
the fi rst agreed ‘collective’ conscious human
INTENT of a “Peace and Forgiveness of All”
day to be established. Let those beloved
others who join us - who the ever present
Law of Attraction ‘calls to action’- respond
in their own right and in their own chosen
time. So be it!
If you and I send this message to our email
lists, and we ask others to do the same,
and we talk to our loved ones and friends,
asking them to do the same - spreading ‘the
word’- that this vitally important “Peace and
Forgiveness of All” day ‘movement’ will have
now effectively begun. And... so it is!
Perhaps other already stable and respected
existing Lightworker websites will ‘host’
and spread this movement worldwide via
the Internet - in a fl ash. Are you with me on
this? Let’s do it. Let’s have fun, companionship,
forgiveness of all...and peace on Earth!
It’s about time! All is well. Bless us all. We
are One. Be at peace, now.
I am Russ Michael. Age-Reversal@aon.
at www.soulmatebooks.com
****** We don’t know Russ personally, but
as you know we’ve orchestrated a Peace Event
during the Nov 11th days for over a decade,
so we were ‘IN’ before he even asked. Oh
Happy Day! See the back cover for our
Vancouver Island Peace Event if you would
like to join us.

PAWSitively Yours...
from the Sceptre King
I was sitting in the sun recently - my
black coat soaking up the warm light and
my white heart beaming it out again. I
was feeling like a lucky kind of guy as I
watched the neighbourhood felines parade
through my yard. There were the usual
crew of fellows who have homes nearby.
They come every day just like you might
have done as children, going to ‘check out
your friend’s house just in case something
interesting was going on. Nobody called
ahead - it was a spontaneous act and if it
wasn’t appropriate, well... you quickly ran
back home or over the fence into another
yard. Such a freedom you enjoyed in those
times, and even though children don’t get
to do that anymore...cats still can! I smile
to myself at our good fortune. Hey, have
you ever seen a cat smile? Well start paying
attention because you might be in for
a surprise!
As I was thinking about all this, in
walked Rosie! Ah Rosie! Now that’s a
story. He (yes I said he - his name comes
from earlier times when no one could get
close enough to know what gender he was
and we thought he was female).Rosie ‘happened’
as a name, because even though he
was scared and hungry, and hurting in more ways than one, he was a ‘gentle
spirit’ and you could see his capacity to love beyond the norm. We now call
him Raphael, as a formal ‘temple-cat’ named after the healing angel. But
Rosie will always be Rosie, a great teacher of love and forgiveness - of never
giving up, of being brave enough to trust again.
I am sitting here ever so grateful. I could not imagine not knowing where
my next meal was coming from; being cold and hungry during the night and
worrying if someone was going to hurt me. Most likely, the problem began
somewhere in Rosie’s lineage, with a cat who belonged to someone. Perhaps
it was a cat that got left behind, or got lost and eventually became a stray
that met another stray, and they had kittens. If you go back far enough, you’ll
note it wasn’t the cats fault. It was a mix-up, a misunderstanding, or a lack of
education of the importance of getting a pet ‘fi xed’ so that it did not contribute
to a bigger problem. I’m saying this now because I heard MamaG* read in the
paper that some people are actually letting their pets go because they don’t
think they can afford them anymore. I hope you would think very hard before
you did such a thing. You are the trusted ones and when you picked out your
pet you made a lifelong committment for their care. I know sometimes things
change - but if it does - you need to make an effort to fi nd them a new home.
Of course, you would explain to them that you still love them and are not
abandoning them. YES I AM saying you should talk to your pets - out loud!!
We like it and we do understand! You know, it’s taken over 3 years to turn
Rosie from the dine and dash midnight prowler. Even now he still looks at
you with his big blue eyes, hoping he’s not making a mistake when he allows
a human hand to gently pat him. Slowly, as the months go by the trust grows
again. Heck, why stop with your pets. Some of your human friends could use
the same gentle encouragement as well. MamaG* talks to Rosie out loud all
the time, even though we think he is deaf. She thinks he can feel the vibration
of the words and feels the love in a different way. I know she is right.
So let’s give some extra loving consideration to the furry ones around you;
assume they understand what you are saying when you speak. Share your joys
and sorrows with us. We are good listeners, and our purring will certainly help
you heal or celebrate, you’ll see. And then let’s start a new daily habit, with
kindness - let’s say something nice out loud.
with love from my furry white heart to yours, The Sceptre King
PS With Christmas coming, please remember pets do not make good gifts
unless the recipient has actually asked for one. Even then make sure they are
able to care for it, before you put a big bow around their neck

Life is a Labyrinth
Whether we take a leisurely
stroll to the local store or
a thousand mile excursion to a
foreign city, for some reason the
journey back home always seems so
much quicker than the outward trip.
Surely this is just an illusion. After
all, the distance is the same; the
route is merely reversed. Nowhere
is this phenomenon more noticeable
than when walking a labyrinth. But
what is a labyrinth and what causes
this apparent acceleration in time
as the journey nears its end?
Despite dictionary defi nitions
to the contrary, a labyrinth is not a
maze. There is nothing confusing
about a labyrinth. It is a single continuous
meditative path that leads
to a central point – though not in a
simple spiral - and from the centre
of the labyrinth the same path winds
back out to the starting point.
To me, a labyrinth is a metaphor
for life’s journey; a long, winding
pathway full of experiences and
challenges that eventually doubles
back on itself to end at the place
where it all began.
Above is the classical 7 circuit
left-handed labyrinth my wife and
I built on Gabriola Island in 2007.
(“Left-handed” denotes that the
fi rst turn once you have entered
the labyrinth is to the left).
This ‘classical’ labyrinth is
often called a ‘Cretan labyrinth’
because it is the same layout that
is reputed to have been built by
the Minoans on the island of Crete
to house the mythical beast, The
Minotaur.
Labyrinths have existed in
various forms in diverse parts of the
world for at least four thousand years.
There is some evidence that they may
even have been constructed during
Neolithic times, (as early as 10,000
BCE), in countries surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea.
While there appears to be nothing
inherently mystical about the
basic design of a labyrinth, many
people believe that they are imbued
with supernatural powers. Some
observers contend that they have
hidden geometric and numerological
prompts that create a multi-dimensional
holographic fi eld revealing the
presence of a cosmic order. These
secret patterns are referred to as
sacred geometry.
One of the most fascinating
theories regarding the labyrinth is
its probable connection to music. The
parallel in the classical seven circuit
labyrinth with the commonest division
of the octave, into seven notes,
is easily noticed - see the illustration
on the next page. The journey there
may be based on descending or
ascending scales. With the former
there is analogy with the descent
to death or the fertile unconscious,
then followed by the ascent from
the centre out of the labyrinth into
re-birth or renewed life.
Whether or not there are cosmic
forces at play, there is no denying
that everyone I have spoken to who
has walked a labyrinth has been
convinced, just as I am, that it has
taken much longer to reach the centre
than it has to get back out.
One potential explanation for this
apparent time warp is that, in general,
we accept that the passage of
time varies depending
on the circumstances.
We recognize
this phenomenon
in proverbs like
‘a watched pot
never boils,’ and
we have all experienced
the
way in which a
pleasurable event
simply flies past
while the office clock
seems to go into reverse at about
3:30pm everyday. But how can we
explain the acceleration of time during
the return laps of a labyrinth?
As we enter a labyrinth we look
to the past; to the problems and irritations
of daily life; perhaps to some
major catastrophe which has deeply
affected us. These thoughts can be
weighty and can hold us back both
mentally and physically. But when we
reach the centre of the labyrinth and
pause for a few minutes of thoughtful
meditation we fi nd ourselves disconnecting
from real world tribulations
– we fi nd a moment of inner peace.
Then, as we begin the return journey,
we know that we are facing the future.
We may not fi nd answers to all of
our problems as we weave back out
but because we are walking towards
a resolution we are relieved of the
burden that so hampered us on the
way in.
With the yoke of the past lifted
from our shoulders, and the anticipation
of fi nding solutions to our
troubles, we race towards the future
with new found energy and lightness
of spirit. Therefore, the walk out is
more enjoyable than the walk in.
Now, can we apply this principle to
life in general? Is life a labyrinth?
Perhaps the greatest difference
between walking a labyrinth and
our journey through life
is that we know precisely
when the
labyrinth’s path
will end. But we
only discover
this through
experience.
Because of
the circuitous
pathway of a
labyrinth we
have no idea
how long the
journey will be until
we reach the midway point. Only
then does our journey seem to gather
speed. And the same factor seems to
apply to life.
When I was a youngster of nine or
ten, birthdays, holidays and Christmases
took forever to arrive. Now I am
in my sixties and these annual events
zip around at an alarming pace.
I propose that as we age and pass
what we may perceive as the centre
point of our life on Earth, we have
gained the wisdom to deal with most
of life’s trials and tribulations – we
can confi dently walk the remainder
of our time without the burdens of the
young, knowing that the pathway will
inevitably take us back to the place
where we began.

The 7th Path
We believe the
7th Path is a
topic new to most
of you, so we took
it upon ourselves to
ask Wendie a few
questions to clarify
that for you.
The 7th Path™
is hypnosis-empowered
meditation.
It’s a unique
a p p r o a c h t o
self-healing that
combines self-hypnosis with meditation and prayer. It’s
a mind-body-spirit system and much easier to do than
meditation. Anyone can do it.
7th Path™ has its roots in A Course in Miracles,
psychology, hypnotherapy, spirituality and while
you don’t have to be spiritual to benefi t from the 7th
Path™ - it helps.
Who can benefit from 7th Path ™ self hypnosis?
…. 7th Path was originally designed for people who may
not want to do therapy. It’s for grownups, not children,
and anyone who wants to reduce stress in their life will
benefi t from learning 7th Path. It’s no secret that stress
is a killer. It ages us before our time. It robs us of our
mental clarity. It makes us cranky, depressed, anxious,
forgetful and fatigued. I’m getting stressed just talking
about it!
Did you know that the American Institute of Stress
reports that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary healthcare
professionals are for stress-related complaints?
Conditions like hypertension, chronic pain, intestinal
complaints, skin disorders, weight problems, allergies,
sleep disturbances, inhibited immune function, all have
an underlying stress factor.
Meditation is a universally accepted treatment for
stress-related issues. That means 7th Path™ is an effective
system for addressing these issues without any of
the nasty side effects common to prescription drugs.
What will I experience? …It’s different for everyone,
of course. And each practice period can be quite
different. I’ve had some pretty amazing energy experiences
with 7th Path™. What most people experience is comfort and relaxation, but there
may be times when you feel antsy
or uncomfortable. That’s part of the
process and tells you the process
is working! You’re actually releasing
things that have been getting in
your way – so you can feel it! With
7th Path™ the process is gentle and
progressive. You can stop at any time.
And you’re always in control.
What makes it different from
other self-hypnosis systems?…7th
Path™ is based on the 5-PATH®
system. You must be a certifi ed
5-PATH® hypnosis practitioner to
teach the 7th Path Self-Hypnosis™
system. 5-PATH® stands for “5 Phase
Advanced Transformational Healing”.
It’s a systematic approach to
identifying and resolving the various
underlying factors contributing to an
issue using hypnosis.
7th Path™ is like the “next generation”
of self-hypnosis. Conventional
self-hypnosis involves giving yourself
suggestions for change while in
hypnosis. It can take a lot of repetition
to change existing patterns this way,
especially when they’re emotional.
Most people give up before they’re
successful. The 7th Path ™ is different
because it works to remove the
internal blocks before you ever give
yourself suggestions for change.
How does it work?….Two
simple steps. First you “empty the
cup.” That simply means allowing
the process to release uncomfortable,
negative thoughts and feelings
responsible for internal stress. The
more internal stress you release, the
better you feel. And the more space
you have for the good and positive
thoughts and feelings you want. Most
people notice they’re sleeping better
right away. Situations that used to
trigger them emotionally lose their
power. And feelings of confi dence,
hopefulness, and well-being all increase
just by emptying the cup.
You’ve heard the saying, “The
Universe abhors a vacuum”? Well,
the more you empty your cup, the
more receptive your mind becomes to
ideas that are good and nourishing for
you. So the second step is where you
can “fi ll the cup” with good, healthy
thoughts and feelings that you want,
that empower you!
During the course you will receive
a series of fi ve “Recognitions.” The
fi rst four work automatically to empty
the cup. The fi fth Recognition is where
you can begin to deliberately fi ll your
cup with what you want to create in
your life.
What is a “Recognition”?…A
“Recognition” is a suggestion you
give to yourself, while in the state
of hypnosis, that is universally
recognized as positive. Each is specifi
cally designed to resonate through
the nervous system of the body - so
you can actually feel them working!
Like vibrational medicine, the Recognition
strengthens anything that is
a vibrational match to it. Anything
that confl icts with it is automatically
weakened or neutralized.
Like the “initiations” in Reiki,
each Recognition has a unique energy
signature that is passed directly from
teacher to student. During the “Basic
5” course you receive 5 of these
Recognitions (there are more). Many
people have profound experiences
when they receive certain Recognitions.
Each Recognition has a specifi c
function beginning with your connection
to Source, whatever you perceive
it to be. The “basic 5” cleanse and heal
and restore energies like self-love,
self-acceptance, forgiveness, and your
power of choice. These things are
basic to everyone. Many self-healing
programs have an initial effectiveness
that eventually wears off.
Can I go for updates?…When
you create change on the inside, that
change is permanent. It’s not like
taking a pill where the effects wear off
after a few hours and you have to take
another pill. This isn’t about treating
symptoms. During the practice
you’re actively engaged in a process
of healing that you can feel working.
When you feel some discomfort,
it’s because it’s being released from
your mind-body system. You don’t
even need to know what it was! If
you release a fear – that fear is gone!
You may have other fears but once
resolved, you never have to deal with
that one again! So the results don’t
diminish, they accrue over time. Like
any form of meditation, 7th Path™
requires practice. So the more you
practice, the better you feel.
I believe all healing is self-healing
that comes from within. We’re factory
hard-wired for healing! The problem
is we’ve developed a few blocks
along the way, and these blocks can
prevent us from healing – physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. This
thinking comes out of ancient healing
philosophies like Traditional Chinese
Medicine. Even Hippocrates, the
father of Western Medicine, taught
that the physician’s role was to support
the body in healing itself! So
it just makes sense to me to put the
focus on releasing the blocks, rather
than managing the symptoms. It also
follows that no one can do it for us.
We need to do our own work. 7th
Path™ supports you in doing your
own work.
In the first class I invite people
to make a commitment to practice
their 7th Path Self-Hypnosis™ for
six weeks. That means setting time
aside to practice twice a day, ideally
morning and evening. You start out
with only 5 or 10 minutes, so it’s
really a small adjustment to your
lifestyle. The objective is to add 5
minutes each week until you’re up
to 20 minutes per session. That’s
the most anyone ever needs to do.
Of course, you can always do more!
I like longer practice periods because
I enjoy the deeper states. But it’s all
up to you, based on what works for
you. After 6 weeks you decide. If you
think your cup is suffi ciently empty,
you can adjust your program down to
once a day. If you fi nd that you still
have some clearing to do, just continue
with your program. You decide. Either
way, as the Dalai Lama says, “Keep
up your practice!”
Now, you asked about “updates.”
A really good way to upgrade your
energy is to practice 7th Path Self-
Hypnosis™ with others in a group.
As you know, the energy of a group
of people meditating together is quite
delicious! And it seems to be easier
to go deeper with a group. So I encourage
people to stay connected on
“The Path.”
Another way to upgrade your
practice is to receive more Recognitions.
For those who wish to go deeper
into their own healing, work on more
spiritual issues or increase their spiritual
connection, there are Advanced
Recognitions which are designed to
work at these levels. But the “basic
5” is all most people will ever need
to work on their own issues.
The class is offered over three
classes. Included in the course are
the 7th Path Self-Hypnosis™ Practitioners
Manual, a Workbook and
the Secret Language of Feelings by
Calvin Banyan, the originator of the
7th Path™ system.
The fi rst 7th Path™ class is a full
day. You’ll learn about how your mind
was designed to work, how hypnosis
works and how to do the practice of
7th Path™. You’ll receive your fi rst
Recognition and learn how to take
yourself into hypnosis and how to
emerge yourself. You practice for a
week, come back for half a day and
you’ll receive the next two Recognitions.
Then you go practice those for a
week and come back for the fi nal class,
which is a full day. You’ll receive the
fi nal two Recognitions and learn how
to create effective suggestions and use
them in a powerful way while you’re
in hypnosis.
During the course you’ll experience,
not only hypnosis but the releasing
effects of 7th Path™. There’s
a sharing process following each 7th
Path™ session. You’re free to choose
what you will share, but expression is
a very important part of the process.
Everyone in the group benefi ts and it
helps you to integrate the changes.
Do you offer it as a weekend
course? … I discovered that a weekend
course just wasn’t as effective in
terms of learning. And I really want
people to benefi t from this! I learned
that spacing it out over three weeks
gives people time to practice, integrate
what they’ve learned and then come
back with questions. I also learned the
optimum class size is no more than 12
people, so I purposefully keep classes
small. This makes it more intimate,
which encourages deeper healing.
My focus is on empowering
people to do their own work and I
take my work very seriously. Should
you decide later to expand into personal
counselling, the course will
give you a tool you can use between
sessions to reinforce the work we’re
doing. So you get more “bang for
your buck” when you begin healing
with hypnosis by learning 7th Path
Self-Hypnosis™.
Best of all, you’ll have a tool
you can use for the rest of your life!
You can use 7th Path™ to heal the
wounded places in your heart and
soul. You can explore your deepest
feelings, thoughts, fears, hopes,
dreams and discover who you really
are. 7th Path™ is really a personal
empowerment system. As you
continue to use it you can create
the life and relationships you truly
desire. You can bring yourself into
alignment with your higher purpose
and fi nd deeper spiritual meaning in
your everyday life.

A Messenger’s MesSAGE
"In ancient times a SAGE was a messenger, delivering
profound truths to an individual or a collective group" ...
Here is your MesSAGE for the next 3 months ...
IF YOU WERE BORN IN:
JANUARY: : Let go of anything
that no longer serves you,
welcoming changes with an
open heart & mind. Having
courage to do so will lighten
your way!
FEBRUARY: Focus on moving
forward rather than looking
back … all of what you
experienced was meant to be
and plays a big part in what’s
to come!
MARCH: Remembering to use
humour in turbulent times is

LIGHT on LIGHT
Greetings on this third triad of your
year of the 11 - a most powerful and
amazing Gateway year. It is a time
when the ‘true friend within’ begins to
awaken in a truer sense. It is a delight
to hear your vibration truly begin to rise
up beyond the veil ! Well Done.
We say this because it is a time
when Beings of Light are challenged
in new ways. We encourage you to hold
steadfast to what you believe in, and
note there are things unfolding right
now that you have waited years to transpire.
Thank goodness! Many of you
have ignored the ‘impossibility’ of the
reality-of-the-situation and never let go
of the dream. Your ability to believe
in yourself and in your source-family,
NOW begins to serve you against all
odds. It is the time when the fruits of
your diligence will reveal itself ... and
you would do well to believe even
MORE, so that your harvest will be
beautiful and abundant. Let the fruits
of your labour present themselves to
your table, and like a gracious host,
prepare a plate to receive them so they
may serve you.
What a time to stay ‘in love’ with
everyone around you, as the Gateway
of amazing Transformation opens up
like never before. In simple terms, it is
similar to an energetic doorway that is
vast and yet totally contained in love.
It is a stable and precise vibration,
designed specifi cally to assist planetary
hearts so the people may then assist ‘the
all’. It is a pillar of invisible light that
is orchestrated from the highest of the
high and like a divine mother/father,
watches over your travelling to see you
safely to your destination. It is a time of
amazing opportunity for people of like
minds to gather, and together accelerate
the energetics for the greater good of
themselves and everyone around them.
The Gateway times are special - they
are precious - priceless indeed.
The 11:11 Gateway for this year of
the 11 begins to quietly/gently open up
in the vicinity of your 9:9:9 calendar
time (September 9, 09). Depending
on how you choose to facilitate your
personal transformation, will have
some factor in how quickly it spreads
a vibration of loving forgiveness. It is
not going to do it for you, but it will
surround you with a loving supportive
vibration to assist you to do it for
yourself. Assuming a great number of
individuals take this opportunity, the
potential for groups around the world
to come together on the 11 day of the
11 month (Nov. 11) and speed up their
own process is gigantic. This coming
together will support and emblazen
the very air you breathe - the grains
of sand - the sound in the water...all
of this will result so that the vibration
of your year of 2010 may center itself
with a fresh start, previously unheard
of. It is as if a master architech removes
all of the old buildings that are
no longer stable , as if the wind blows
through and sweeps away old dust
balls of discordant energy. It is as if
the sun warms the very heart of you
and the stars light up the shadows of
your dreamtime. It takes so little for
each one to contribute, than when
many join with each other...proud to
be yourself - the symphony, the dance
truly begins. This fi nal triad of your
year is a perfect time for the ancient
sacred geometry patterns to begin to
resonate within and have the potential
to make your life even better.
These are the times to see the light
even when there appears to be none.
Days for ‘living beyond the heart’
which is a concept of love of the
highest sort. Where one transcends
all the petty goings-on of the people
around them. And yet it does not mean
we ignore them, that would be too
easy. HA HA HA. Rather, we say, it
is a powerful act when you can live
fully on your own spiritual path and
still kindly embrace the others around
you...even the prickly ones.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, JOY, JOY
JOY and GREAT GRATITUDE for the
insight to be ‘consciously’ doing so...
for those of an expanded consciousness,
it becomes easy. So we say keep
trying - practice makes perfect and
every smile you bestow is a spark of
transformation.
YES indeed! These are times for
making miracles and ‘the ancient architects’
from forever (that would be
your beautiful selves) are THE ONES
to do just that. Happy Days of Light
Transcending...Peace and Forgiveness
for all.
TODAY WE ARE sending you
great love to assist your heart to expand
for those who need it most. Sending
you great joy to emblazen ‘the loving
cosmic HA HA HA’ into your voice.
Sending you pure Peace to fi ll your
every step with prayer and grace.
love you we do - beyond measure
