Susan Boyle: When The Light Shown Through...

I know this is a well-worn topic... well not really, but I want to throw my two cents in.

WATCH HERE

First of all... a quote from someone who was moved by the performance:

To Susan Boyle: "Where are you, where are you? How did you touch me like this?

A big tough guy saying this. And that's what happened... we all got touched. Somewhere that had never been touched before or at least in a long long time. Maybe a place we never knew we had. Maybe a place we had forgotten about. But d*mn if she didn't find it! and she touched it oh so gently and not to be resisted. That's what she did.

Some people voices are a vortex... You know who they are. And when they open their mouths, something comes in from beyond this illusive world. Something real comes in. But it doesn't always hit its mark. Darkness interferes.

Here's a profound observation along that line:

"I have (looked) at all the comments and looked at this amazing moment and the one other thing I noticed is: The dark has been twisting the light messages to feed back into the darkness forever it seems. This time the darkness or the shadow in the audience and in the judges got flipped into the light by surprise by the golden light pouring out of the women's voice. Her voice is connected to her heart and spirit and is pure. She walked off the stage for she was complete. Only when she confusedly came back to the stage to hear the "judges", did she enter her smaller self and her eyes reflected the pain of hearing how everyone perceived her before her performance. Behind stage she was confused by the praise and was wrestling with many mixed emotions." -xxx at NES forum

This time something slipped through, some energy, some great reminder of who we all are. And whatever got through continues to get through every time we listen... even now, as we fade back into our iron lives. Some day, the light won't switch off. It will stay on and we will be there always. That's why we cried. Because we remembered... and KNEW that THAT's who we really are.

I'll end by saying this. What an amazing destiny for her, to publicly symbolize this "Mystery"... once concealed but now revealed. I think of that phrase:

"The kingdom of heaven is spread abroad upon the earth and men see it not."

For just that moment we DID see it. We all saw it. And what next? What else are we not seeing, but will NOW finally see!

The Water Paradox

Water is front and center all of a sudden, at least for me. The Teacher says that he who worships water as Brahman will have all of his desires fulfilled. A dying friend expressed how her life had taught her to sail around the obstacles in the way. And now I find this quote which takes it even further:

Water is soft, fluid and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong. ~Lao Tsu

I guess sand is the same way, loose and giving way, and yet it is used to polish precious stones and minerals. No more comment. I'm just pondering this whole idea and wanted to share it with you.

Whattaya Know...

Whose thoughts are you thinking?
Are they there by choice or default?
What would your thoughts be if you were all there is?

Whose beliefs do you believe?
Do you believe them by choice or default?
What would your beliefs be if your were all there is?

Whose lifestyle do you live?
Do you live it by choice or default?
What lifestyle would you live if you were all there is?

"Know thyself... and so shalt thou know God... and the universe."

"The Martin Luther King You Don't See on TV..."

Today is Martin Luther King Day. The media will spend a great deal of time presenting a watered down version of what this man was all about. Most of the important parts will be left out... conveniently. The man continues to be a threat to the PTB. Why? What did he say that they don't want you to know. Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon paint an enlightening portrait of a great man who did great things for ALL of us...

THE MARTIN LUTHER KING YOU DON'T SEE ON TV

Media Beat (1/4/95)

By Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon

It's become a TV ritual: Every year in mid-January, around the time of Martin Luther King's birthday, we get perfunctory network news reports about "the slain civil rights leader." The remarkable thing about this annual review of King's life is that several years — his last years — are totally missing, as if flushed down a memory hole.

[snip]

An alert viewer might notice that the chronology jumps from 1965 to 1968. Yet King didn't take a sabbatical near the end of his life. In fact, he was speaking and organizing as diligently as ever. Almost all of those speeches were filmed or taped. But they're not shown today on TV.

Why?

It's because national news media have never come to terms with what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for during his final years... [more at link]

Navagraha Chant

As the astrology gets a bit dicey in the coming months, this ancient Sanskrit chant calls the planets by name and honors them. His Holiness Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji has advised us to do this chant to ward off the negative effects of the planets. I am sharing this in hope for our well-being in the coming months.

A Take on the World Economic System, and a Possible Future... After the Fall...

Don't know if you saw the first film, but the Addendum explains the present monetary system and why it HAS to fall in order for us to evolve freely. I am putting it out to you as an FYI.

The effect this film had on me was to SEE a new kind of life superimposed over this old one. I guess it is about awareness. Krishnamurti said that to understand is to transform that which IS. We can do that within ourselves. A world without money, where all have access to all and all express freely the gifts that are given IS a possibility.

One of the AHA's I gained through this film is a possible reason why lightworkers have had such a hard time charging $ for their services. Perhaps this would be another topic altogether. But in MY heart I KNOW that my gifts are just that... GIFTS. The fact that our lives are tied to the Monetary System, puts a cramp in my style. But what if that system were no longer in place. It worked in the Tribal pardigm! Our Native American ancestors lived quite well without it. Just a thought.

The last scene before the credits is an amazing portrayal ofvAwareness becoming Aware. It is worth seeing in and of itself.

Anyways, here is the link: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

Use your discernment.

Take what works and leave the rest.

DISCLAIMER: I don't endorse anything except awareness. If this contributes to that, so be it. If not, awareness comes by another form. It's all the same. We carry on, V

Note: I had no intention to send this out, as sending out the automatic writings is no longer part of my 'mission', they have returned to being for myself as directed by Creator, however, after the week I've personally experienced, it became clear that this particular autowriting needs to go out. Take the key words (falls, drama, deaths, water, the past, those that do and don't belong with you, etc.) literally. I'm just wondering now what the fire from below is going to be in my personal life - a friggin volcano forming right below my feet? (That's a joke God - I take that out of the law [of manifestation]!) As always, for your discernment.... share as you see fit.

Sorry. Time's up. Forgive and move on. There is no more yesterday. Never look back from this point on. The past is gone and much is gone with it. Only Now. Never more. Sing Sing. Sing a song for all the tomorrows you've been waiting for. Open the door and step through. All has arrived Now. All you have to do is embrace it and hold on tight. Your Light shines and will guide you home.

Say "come" and it will come. "Come all that is truly mine". "Come all that belongs with me"."Come in like heart and mind". "Come soul beings of my own". "Come". It is time to summons from above the beauty that belongs below. And it is time to rise to full height and be all that you truly are, according to Free Will and the Highest Good of All.

Stand firm as that which no longer belongs with you falls away. That which sits in darkness remains so. Hold firm as that which falls away will be great and many - surprisingly so - but do not despair as it does not belong to you. Shock! Shock! Oh! Oh! You wonder when the insanity will end - for you it already has. The drama is not yours. Others play out their own. Yours is a calm flow forward and up beyond the flood of tears that are soon to follow. Your change is for the better. Some, many, wallow in the mire. What have you need for their chosen drama? None.

Set your sights on the stars and the heavens and don't look back or down. Set your sights. You will not be touched by the fire that consumes from below. No more pain and misery for the children of the Light. You have chosen well. The Beauty Way opens the doors of it's path - your universe of being is fine.

Know that the power of the Golden Light is yours to use at all times. Know that the power of the Christ Enlightened is yours to use at all times for the Highest Good. Know that you are the power, have the power, and that you manifest it Now.

Death comes to many, in mass, Now. Your country will be shook to it's foundation. Many to die before the year is out. Cold, much cold. You will need to move south soon. Cold before the water. Move south for two years. Then into the hills of crystals before the water inundates. Prepare to move as quickly as you can. The Shift comes soon. Many going soon.

Look to the skies. You'll see them there. Go when you are called. Do not hesitate. Nothing to hold you here. Nothing. Leave with joy. All awaits you in love and reunion. The true tie that binds is waiting above. Only chains are holding you here below.

Move now as quickly as you can. There is no time to spare. The doors are opening. Be ready to step through. In love follow The Beauty Way. Let go.

Aho!

Standing in the Golden Light,

All My Relations In Love and Light,

Tucson: The Community...sort of!

I have been here a week and have had the good fortune to fall in with a bunch of old Hippies with stories to tell of their encounters with the icons of the era. Last night, a Ginsberg film debut by two of them and a Q & A afterward that produced an actual post card written by Ginsberg to a friend of the card's keeper. At the event, I also met someone who worked on the Hubble telescope and invented a technology for smelling TV... something that seemed possible and a logical next step in the evolution of entertainment to me as a kid. I got to visit a communal housing setting that makes total sense. Share a bath and the kitchen and have one room that is your private space. Economic and practical. I'm impressed.

No one goes by his given name, which is good as it seems there are only one or two given names among them. Everyone has a second or third name that comes with a fascinating story behind it's selection. Makes me feel less odd with my second name. No one is from here. I have yet to meet a native Tucsonian[?]. Kind of like the land of misfit toys, only one feels less misfitted in the company of so many others of similar nature. An interesting mix of interesting people.

Dear Everyone... I'm Going on Walkabout...

Greetings!
At the behest of my guides I'm off to Tucson and points SW.
Vision questing!
Hoping to hook up with the tribe and get activated.
Feels like my "unit" is being called up for active duty.
If I find the time and an internet connection, will post some of my findings.

January 26, 2008

Trepidation. Climax. The not-so-holy making another huge power play. Relentless in their pursuit of false power. Much confusion within and on the rise without. The emotional imbalance in the mass consciousness becoming greater and more prevalent. So many crises in so many directions. People totally overwhelmed, freaking out, acting out, breaking down, and literally losing it. The level of going berserk continues to increase. So many simply going insane. No where near its apex. Crisis, crisis, crisis. Be very careful, and keep observant to what is going on around you at all times. Use the Golden Light in conjunction with the Violet Ray to protect yourselves. The earth is about to rumble from all the negative impacts and the stress of it all. The body will revolt.

So many still asleep. Most of them will remain that way. Those who have recently awakened are feeling as though they have just emerged from a fog. They are amazed that they could not see through the obvious and outrageous antics of the dark ones who claim false power. Disaster will pile upon disaster and the deaf, blind, and dumb will still refuse to wake up. Stubborn resistance against the Creator of All That Is. There are only so many times that Creator will knock on your door before walking away when the door is not answered.

Not many roses to be smelled this year. Hard times for many with much loss – life, limb, and external security. The floor will literally drop out from below for those who persist in not awakening. It is their soul choice. Send them Light and move on. No time to waste on grieving over those who refused Creator’s repeated call.

One by one, those of the Vanguard are withdrawing. It is their time to turn their attention inward. It is a time of inner powering up. This is where the attention needs to be. For those who have done their spiritual work and have followed Creator’s directives to implant the Light and bring the teachings of the Great Masters into the daily life of the masses, it is time to attend to Self. Inward and upward is the call being heard now. That which is outside is no longer calling. Their mission is rapidly coming to a close. It’s time for those who are meant to take the Vanguard’s place to step up to the plate of Truth. Your higher initiations are almost complete.

Those of the Vanguard who are not yet heeding the call will soon find the pull so strong they can no longer return their attention to the outside world. What appears to be an attitude of “I’m sorry, you have me confused with someone who cares” is not what it seems… it is simply those of the Vanguard now giving full attention to the Source’s call.

It is necessary you to prepare yourself for your next step... fully empowering yourself again with Creator and Self so that you may finally go to your real home, where your true loved ones await for you. For many of you, your soul mates did not incarnate with you, in order to be a life line on the other side to give you strength, encouragement, and guidance during this difficult journey. It is reunion time. Look forward to it with great joy.

All the love, attention, compassion, assistance, and selfless giving you have contributed in this long, difficult journey now needs to be directed to disconnecting from that which is without and focusing it on that which is within. This is not selfish, callow, or cold, but simply a normal stage of stepping up and stepping away from that which no longer belongs with you. The time to move forward and prepare for moving home has come. The time is passing to be in the center of the storm, but to rise above it. It’s time for a huge moving sale and the few boxes of what needs to be taken are being packed. You will, however, be traveling light… and you will be traveling Light.

Do not mourn what is being left behind… it’s suppose to be left behind. You cannot move up until you release what is holding you down. You cannot advance if you have the brakes on. Hesitation to take automatic right action can have dire results. You can not go forward unless you leave behind that which holds you back… attachments to this, the lowest, densest realm in creation, will result in eons of being stuck in terrible lower creations.

You cannot go home if you insist on clinging to the place that is not your home. And a period of detachment is required to let go without further pain and suffering. Those who do not do what is required to let go will experience what the Masters refer to as “the stings of a thousand scorpion”. There truly is a “ Scorpion King”. Being ripped out of this level of Creation when there is attachment to it is painful indeed. One must be able to let go with speed, joy, ease, comfort, and love, according to Free Will and for the Highest Good.

Looking backward, holding back, will trap you in a hell of your own making beyond imagination – the lesson of Lot’s wife. You don’t hang on to the stage of being a baby when you are becoming a child. You don’t cling to your diaper stage when you’ve become potty trained. Every stage of evolution requires a letting go, a necessary leaving behind. While each soul’s desire determines their destination, the Vanguard’s time to go home is drawing nigh. Not to a “new earth”, but home, true home. It is the next stage for you. And you must leave behind what is not yours to be able to return to your own. To everything there is a season. It is time to change the guard.

“Gee but it’s great to be back home!
Home is where I want to be!
I’ve been on the road so long my friend,
And if you come along
I know you couldn’t disagree
It’s the same old story
Everywhere I go.
I’ve been slandered,
Libeled,
I hear words
I’ve never heard in the bible.
And I’m one step away from a shoe shine.
Two steps away from the county line…..”

Paul Simon 1969

…. the “county line”, the line of demarcation between here and home. Get your traveling shoes shined… you’re two steps away from home… sweet home.

Those souls, however, who need to follow The Mother from this earth to her new home – her new body – the “new earth”, are beginning to leave and follow her now. Those who refuse to acknowledge that her soul departure from this earth has already transpired will soon understand. The “new earth” they have been waiting for cannot be ready for other’s arrival until the Mother’s soul occupies it. How could it? Did you not understand the process? As above so below. The laws of creation, which so many woo-woo new-agers ignore, are always in force. It is misleading, false information which negates the laws and rules of existence within every level of Creation.

As above, so below. Just because we are in a time of great change and we are evolving into a higher being does not mean the basic laws of transmigration have been suspended. It is only a fool that swallows hook line and sinker the myth that the laws of creation have been suspended or are no longer in effect. And if you believe the deliberate misinformation planted by those of dark intent, a sinker it will be for you. Woe be to those who don’t use discernment.

Discernment is only possible through Truth and seeking the Path of the Masters, the metaphysics of the science of the soul. That is where spirit and science meet as One in Universal Truth. That and the journey within through attending to meditation is what gives the ability to discern the Truth from all the hogwash that is sloshing around. Seek and ye shall find.

The Mother’s soul had to leave “here” first before she could be ‘there”, otherwise the “new earth” would simply be an empty shell with no life-force – there would be nothing capable of sustaining the life trying to enter it. The “new earth” can not be alive and ready for its children until the soul of the Mother occupies it. It is she who gives the “new earth” life, not the other way around. The birthing process of a planet is the same as a baby… a soul must enter it before it can live.

The birthing mother’s body must have a soul occupying it first before the baby’s soul can come through. And if there is no soul in the body of the planet, nothing will “birth” onto that planet. As above, so below… so why would that be negated when moving back up?

Something else is taking place “here” in what has become an empty shell.
An illusion of life. But then it always has been, simply with souls trapped in a bad dream. It is only an illusion continuing, a dream continuing from a thought form. Energy moving forward, like a radio wave endlessly moving through space through the eternity of this universe of consciousness. Actually, none of us are here at all. Why are you hanging on to it?

So much shock in the near future. Step above it. Move out of being the center of the storm into being totally above it. More mind-boggling events. Rise above it.

The people cry out in protest from all quarters. Much shifting. Terrible deceptions. Look within and away from the outside projection. Don’t let it entangle you. Send the Light with objective detachment, not on your knees sobbing. There is no less love involved in it, just a lot less strain from over wrought emotion. Remove yourself to your Self and bask in the connection with Source. Otherwise what is coming will shatter your heart many times and render you vulnerable to entrapment by the dark ones.

Those of dark intent want to keep you trapped in the dream with staged events they orchestrate from behind the scenes. Their scriptwriters are not on strike. By removing yourself to the Self, you become the real script writer for All That Is. It is from being here on this level, in the body while accessing the higher realms, that true change for the better is made. Use this – the only real tool you have.

It is the one the Lord of your soul, the Creator of All That Is, gave to you. Those of dark intent are trying to create and stage events which seem to come from the ‘enemy’ but are in fact being orchestrated by themselves behind the curtains. They want to develop and execute strong emotions from horror to develop a “cause” to expand the war and continue their agenda.

Recent events at sea were staged to provoke war by the very government crying “foul!”. Those of dark intent are trying hard to set the stage for more war before elections in the hope that they will feed more fear into the sleeping masses and thereby stay in false power. They are banking on it. Don’t buy into the destructive agenda of the-powers-that-aren’t. Those of dark intent who steal the power of others are desperately trying to hold their position and are involved in much more deception, plotting, and fear-mongering to fool the masses than they ever have before. As they ramp things up again, they are frantically scrambling to cover their tracks and reek more havoc.

And yes, they personally, literally reek, as lies do carry a bad smell which is equal to the level of bad energy. The smell of liars is awful. The more you move up on the evolutionary ladder, the more you are able to See, Know…. and Smell… and you can smell a rat.

Although the dark ones have succeeded in the past, they can only continue to succeed if you give them permission. Know these false provocations for more war are simply staged – self-made threats to achieve the plans that they already had on the table since the beginning. Me thinks they protest too much… such hollow voices blowing wind.

These power mongers of dark intent will kill as many of their own and others as they need to in order to justify an orchestrated “cause” to expand war. Require accountability and fool-proof evidence from those who are trying to entrap you in fear. Their fear mongering is hollow. Give it no value by calling them out in Truth. Will you silently stand by and give those of dark intent the carte blanch they are counting on?

Elections will be stolen. Much corruption in votes. Dirty tricks abound. Freedom will be bought and sold behind the scenes. Nasty surprises in store.

Public outrage. A bright light in danger of being snuffed out. Much Light needs to be sent to those who walk in Truth with courage. But remain free from the drama. Players shifting in the play and the soap opera takes a new turn. There is hope still, but a sacrificial lamb may be laid on the alter. A serious turning of events.

Earth is revolting. Dying throes. Massive shudders. Is a planetary walk-in waiting in the wings? Something lurks nearby. Rising and falling. Splitting apart. Magma flows freely. Smoking and puffing. Lava in an unexpected place. Major shifts. Many changes. Much sorrow and grief. Gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair. Woe, woe. Rise from the center of the storm to above it. Go within. Sit in mediation and prepare your journey Now.

Lightworkers struggle with the impact of these dark energies. For those who see and feel from a heightened perspective, the darkness of the energy is even more difficult. A very materialistic energy is coming in. It will last for a long time, promoting more greed, especially from governments. Mass consciousness in danger of severe backsliding. Ugh. Much progress in mankind can be reversed. A strong energy of governmental backward thinking, oppression of women-minorities- education-freedom. Danger of martial law in many places. Camps. Orwell. Big Brother. Fascist governmental energies. Riots. A turning away from enlightenment. A backward influence for a time to come. Darkness from the past coming forward. Reversal of fortunes and the ramping up of new ones.

The Light is needed more than ever. Intensify the Light, the beautiful Golden Light, without by expanding it within. Now. Without anymore slacking. Go within and do the work needed there. Sit in mediation. Make the time. It’s important. And nothing on this earth feels better than time spent in meditation, so seek your greater field of happiness. Why do you not?

Those who are going through disconnection will hold their own during this extreme new influence, but the many who have neglected their spiritual development will be crushed and broken under this new time. It is so unnecessary. Prepare through your meditation and get two birds with one stone – protection here while completing the journey home. Why deny and delay your greatest desire of your heart and soul – complete bliss, total joy, Oneness again.

Many, many souls leaving during this time. A nuclear holocaust looms heavy on the horizon. The smallest mis-step can be disastrous. Walking a fine line. Will you allow it? The Mother decided not to be a part of this. Thus the timing of her departure. She prepares the new home - a safe, beautiful haven - for those who have chosen to follow her and who are not yet ready to go all the way home. She is “there”, Now, welcoming her children as they begin to arrive.

Do you feel a hollowness? Look and truly see. The trees have lost their aura. The hollowness you feel is this empty projection. You are no longer here. Wake up. You will love where you really are when you wake up. Life is a dream. . . dream. . . dream. Wake up. This dream is not yours.

The tree you see with your physical eyes is growing, but the life force is dissipated. The tree is “there”, but it no longer vibrates with vigorous life force. To the physical eye, it doesn’t look different, but for those who have “the eyes to see”, it might as well be made out of cardboard for the amount of life force it carries now. In Truth, what is keeping this planet going and preventing it from flying apart is the life force emanating from less than a handful of living genuine Masters in combination with the Lightworkers who implant the life giving power Creator’s Golden Light on a daily basis.

Many Blessings. Stand in and use the Golden Light of the Creator’s Christ Power.

THE NOBLE SURRENDER

I posted this piece a couple of years ago, but it has been on my mind again lately. We seem to be masters of avoiding, at all cost, looking at ourselves in the mirror and seeing, not our faults, but our own glory... our power... our birthright of happiness.

Our essential nature is happiness. What if the "salvation of the world" lay in us simply allowing ourselves to be just that... happy?

What if the apparent insanity of this 3D world is really a tool we are using to pry our own fingers off of The Dream and realize who we truly are. And the abrasive mind-beatings we are taking lately are simply polishing the doors of our own perception.

"When the doors of our perception are cleansed, man will see all things as they truly are... INFINITE!" --William Blake

The re-post follows.
Enjoy!

Let us take time to revisit a great author, Richard Bach, creator of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. This excerpt is from his book Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. The piece begins with an astonished crowd's reaction to their Master who has just said:

"I quit..."

For a moment the multitude was stricken dumb with astonishment.

And he said unto them, "If a man told God that he wanted most of all to help the suffering world, no matter the price to himself, and God answered and told him what he must do, should the man do as he is told?"

"Of course, Master!" cried the many. "It should be pleasure for him to suffer the tortures of hell itself, should God ask it!"

"No matter what those tortures nor how difficult the task?"

"Honor to be hanged, glory to be nailed to a tree and burned, if so be that God has asked," said they.

"And what would you do," the Master said unto the multitude, "if God spoke directly to your face and said, "I COMMAND THAT YOU BE HAPPY IN THE WORLD, AS LONG AS YOU LIVE!" What would you do then?"

And the Multitude was silent, not a voice, not a sound was heard upon the hillsides, across the valleys where they stood.

And the Master said unto the silence, "In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime. So it is that I have learned this day, and choose to leave you now to walk your own path, as you please."

And he went his way through the crowds and left them, and he returned to the everyday world of men and machines.

COMET HOLMES IN PEGASUS: THE MYTHOLOGICAL & PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE

Greetings.

Our ancestors would have considered more than the science of the celestial appearance of Comet Holmes. They would have called it a sign and considered its location and the significance of that location. Comet Holmes appears in the constellation of Pegasus. I have gathered some pertinent ideas regarding Pegasus in mythology and prophecy.

I will draw no specific conclusions except to say that there is a lot of indication in mythology and prophecy that the appearance of Comet Holmes in this particular constellation, is not a random thing. It is significant. These are times of the rising of the new feminine energies, the rebalancing of the masculine and feminine, a time of new consciousness or Christ consciousness coming to us, a time of the return of inspiration and the poets and our release from karma and the necessity of reincarnation.

The appearance of this sign in this particular constellation, mirrors a corresponding arrival within ourselves. As without so within. The skies are talking to us!

Some things to think about.
Vim

PEGASUS, ZEUS AND JESUS

We have shown the connection between Pegasus and the human brain and also between Pegasus and the practice of meditation. The Muses were born of a union between Zeus, and Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne is the Goddess of Memory.

Zeus would ride on the back of Pegasus and hurl lightening bolts across the skies. This of course simply means that enlightenment comes from God or Zeus.

The white horse of the heavens is Pegasus and the Book of Revelation tells us that Jesus will return on a white horse. Thus both Zeus and Jesus ride on Pegasus.

And Pegasus the white horse is the hippocampus of the brain or the place of memory which allows us to understand the 2nd coming of Jesus as a renewal of the mind , a new consciousness.
Not only does the Bible say that Jesus returns on the white horse (which is Pegasus, the horse of Zeus) but it also quotes Jesus as saying that the return of the Son of Man would be as "lightening from east to west Enlightenment from the right hemisphere to the left.

Jesus and Zeus are one and the same, both creations of the Greek mind of mythology to bring us to an, understanding of ourselves and the cosmos in which we live.

---------MODERN IDEAS OF PEGASUS:

*Carl Jung talks of Pegasus: "At the end of this cosmic age Vishnu will change into a white horse and create a new world. This refers to Pegasus, who ushers in the Aquarian Age." [Letters, Vol. II, p. 607]

*Symbolizes life energy

*Aquarius, whose energies rule the New Age, falls under the constellation of Pegasus

So Where Did I Go???

I am always amused to wander around the bloggersphere and find so many abandoned blogs. Where does everybody go? And here I am guilty of the the same thing.

I'm still online but have been spending my time over at Flickr.com. I've been taking pictures and they seem to be satisfying the need of speech. I often feel that everything that could possibly be said has been said already. Maybe the players are wearing different costumes but it's all the same, same, same... I've heard that at some point in our evolution, we will cease speaking and just KNOW each other through some hidden part of ourselves. It's already happening in many ways.

Anyways, I am letting my photos speak for me for the moment, and so I will fix you up with the link here:

This link will put you at my front page:
VIMSPLACE: Flickr HOME

And this one will link you to the sets:
VIMSPLACE: Flickr SETS

The sets page is probably the best way to see all of what I am up to. All of my photos are for sale. If something strikes your fancy, please let me know and we'll work out some sort of exchange.

I hope you are all doing well in these crazy times. They are crazy for a reason. We are using the craze to show us that we are more than all the craziness combined. We've been looking for us and are soon to be found.

Take care,
Vim

NO ESCAPE and NOTHING TO ESCAPE FROM...

There is no way that you can position yourself in life and not still be 'in life.'
Sadness is limitation...this life.
Happiness is still this life.
It is ALL still this life.
Limitation.
Nothing lasts.
You can position yourself in happiness but you are still here...human...maya.
It's all still NOT us as we truly are...limitless...eternal
We've got to figure this out.
And when we DO figure this out, we'll still be here in all our restricted human 'glory.'
For some reason we've chosen this way.
I guess divinity is insane!
Nothing will help.
Learn this and be free.
How does knowing we're 'trapped for the duration' help us or free us.
Because we know our efforts to get out are pointless.
So we stop trying to get out and enjoy our captivity.
Is this it?
Is this the key?
Sisyphus?
Rolling his stupid rock up the stupid hill over and over again?
What a fool!
I always say, get the heck off the hill.
Let the rock roll.
Leave it there.
Go do something real which is nothing.
---Vimala

Turtle Woman’s Automatic Writings

Monday, 6:36 a.m.

February 19, 2007

Such good is flowing in. The doors are finally opening and that which we have awaited is finally manifesting. Joy inside. Lovely joy just springs up at the most unexpected times.

The Vanguard has done their work. It is time for them to step back and breathe fresh air. What they have come to do has mostly been done with only residuals to be completed. It is their time for rest. The seeds were planted long ago. What was planted has matured and is about to come to fruition.

The paths widen between those who made their choices to live in the Light or be in darkness. You can not change the path for another. Each individual’s Free Will has sealed their fate. Those who have chosen to awaken and move into the Light will keep progressing upwards with greater speed as the doors open. It will become easier and easier for those who have matched the higher vibrations. The doors will slam shut and lock against those who have refused to awaken or who have abused power or chosen the paths of darkness. Their lives will continue to unravel and they will be miffed.

The dark ones are panicking as the doors start to slam shut in their faces. They slander, lash out against, and attack those who walk in Truth and the Light. They continue to use lies and side-long maneuvering to try to destroy those who stand in Truth and the Light. They disempower themselves through spite and viciousness. They give away their own power simply by not standing in Truth. They do not see they are not walking in beauty as long as they are in service to self. They hide behind arrogance. They are afraid now, as their misuse of power breaks apart their very foundations. The fall from being in service to self is long and hard. They scream and moan in the Light. They are in dire need of the healing of Grace.

The situation for those who walk in the Light will only continue to improve, no matter how much the dark ones launch offensives against them. The power of the Light is greater than that of the dark, and the dark can never win the battles it launches… it can only make the Light work more and for the Lightworkers to come together more to stand as One with Creator. The more the dark ones launch attacks, the more unified the Light becomes. We give them thanks for this!

The on going improvement in the well being and lives of the Lightworkers, the Tribe of 12 x 12, does not mean that challenges and problems will disappear. It means that they will simply pass through and beyond these things quickly. The solutions come quicker and faster. The negative situations will be more intense but will not “stick”. The Lightworkers have become Teflon. Nothing hard, negative, or permanently burnt sticks – everything washes clean easily. The doors to solutions are wide open. Old stuff is clearing out rapidly. That which is dark does not settle, but simply glances off, for it is ricocheting off the Creator’s Golden Light.

Those who have walked their talk in Truth are fully protected. The dark simply can not touch them, although it is trying hard. Those who walk in Truth with Creator and stand in the Light have become “bullet proof” from any real harm from the dark side. The dark ones are attacking more and more, yet those who walk in the Light with Creator simply can no longer be harmed. The protection is fully activated, above and below. This is not by chance but the result of the years of hard work put into raising the vibrations, within and without. If you have done your spiritual work, you are fully protected, no matter what the circumstances that present themselves.

Our friends in higher places are literally placing themselves between us and all threats. They still need to be invited to assist, so call on them several times a day. Give them carte blanche to work on your behalf for the Highest Good and according to Free Will. They will then be able to take care of situations instantaneously. That which needs to come to you now for your Highest Good is coming in full force. This time of intense challenge is short in duration and will turn around quickly in the not so distant future. Blessings from on high indeed. Walk in Knowing your path of Truth and Light is true and safe. Empower yourself, your Self and your Golden Light family above by giving them permission to act positively on your behalf, benefit, and Highest Good at all times.

Embrace this beautiful, challenging time we have entered. The darkness may have stepped up their activity, throwing everything they have at the Light, but they only waste their time and energy. This difficult vamping up and revving up of intense energy means your power in the Light for success for the Highest Good according to Free Will has vamped and revved up too.

This time of the greatest yin/yang means success is at your doorstep and the door is open. Invite it in. It means the time of reaping and harvest has come and that which each and every soul has set their mind to is manifesting. The gulf between those who reap great rewards and those who fall into their own pit are great indeed. Each soul will now start manifesting exactly what they have devoted their energies to. Your best dreams are finally arriving at your door.

Take this time and fully utilize it for your Greatest Good. Let the universe, the world, the life you’ve always wanted come into full manifestation. Give permission for your heart’s desires to be fully realized for Now on. The past, the darkness is vanishing from you from this point on as you continue to rise with the vibrations and become again the fully realized Light Being that you are.

The veil is so thin between you and your Self now. The surges of pure joy you are beginning to experience are your full connections to Self with no barriers. As these surges of joy increase in time and duration, you will suddenly come to the point where you will realize you’ve been standing at One in Self and Creator all along. You need never look back again. The veils will be fully gone. You will suddenly be home again in a nano second. And you will suddenly realize you’ve never actually been gone. It will be like suddenly awakening from a bad dream - because that is exactly what it is. You are not really here. You are “there” – and you always have been…

And until the moment you are fully aware that you are “there”, that you are home again, your journey from this point on will simply, exponentially, get better and better. You will manifest exactly what you want – not someone else’s version of what they have told you it will be – improving your life with each step forward and upward.

It is time to turn it all over to those loved ones above who remained at home as our lifelines. It is time to give them permission to act on our behalf, for our Highest Good and according to Free Will. It is time to give them permission to reel us in and help bring us home. And as long as we walk in beauty, which is in Truth and the Creator’s Golden Light, the journey will only get better and better, the vibrations rising higher and higher, the manifestations easier and purer. And, viola!, we will be suddenly home in the loving embrace of our heart’s and soul’s desires. Give our loved ones above permission now to help us in these final times in the Highest Good.

The Mother has already, like Elvis, “left the building”. She moved up and beyond into higher vibration. She has left 3D earth behind. She’s been gone since this past summer. Many have not realized it yet, as her “time” and our “time” do not reside in the same “time”. Slowly, the evidence of her soul departure will become quite evident. She has moved on into her higher vibrational Light body. For many months, some of the Vanguard have felt this “hollowness”. Some have felt the deep silence within the planet in her absence. The Mother had been silent for many months in preparation for her departure and now she is gone. The oceans of this world have started to die and the decay will continue to accelerate and spread more rapidly. The trees are losing their auras. There will be more mass animal die offs. The time has come to follow Mother’s example and rise with the vibrations with no resistance to hanging on to anything of the past.

Make each new nano second of your Now the next step up, manifesting each joy, each heart’s desire of the Highest Good, each deep soul longing as you go. All you have, all you’ve ever had is the very moment you are in. Now. Make that moment your very best. Your Now. Embrace it in the Golden Light of the Creator. Your Self, Creator, and home are here Now.

Reap your reward for service well done – for service to others instead of service to self. It is time for the second wave of Lightworkers to take over.

Thank you Vanguard for bringing higher consciousness into the mainstream, for standing in the Light for the Highest Good of All. Thank you for raising the vibrations by being the lightning rod for the Creator’s Light by both maintaining your connection with Self and Creator through meditation and by implanting the Light. Thank you for being the Voice and providing the physical vocal cords to make the call to Awaken and Be! Thank you for the honor you have bestowed on the Mother Earth and All Her Relations. Thank you, Vanguard, for the great sacrifice you have made to be here Now, to suffer through the lower vibrations for this great mission of upliftment and quantum advancement for All of Creation. Thank you for giving freely of yourself without violating Universal Law by having a hand out for payment or monetary reward for your work. Your time has come to rest and to reap the true rewards you have earned on high from Creator. It is time for all your dreams to come true. Bless you one and all. Home is so very near. The veil is so very thin. The rest is now out of our hands. Each will manifest their own.

Good job. Godspeed. Our personal joy begins. Blessings one and all!

Standing in the Golden Light of the Christ Power and the Violet Ray,

All My Relations in Love and Light,

Turtle Woman, Oma

The FUTURE: And The Beat Goes On...

I have been re-reading predictions made for years past and am not too amazed to find that many did not come true as predicted, while predictions that general trends would continue DID. It is tricky business to predict the future. Even wise astrologers remind us that "we are more than our stars." We have choice and good sense to guide us through the times. That being said, I will jump into the predictive fray here with my take on the coming year:

#1 Birth-Life-Death will go on as before, but SOME of us will quit fighting it.

#2 Love will keep happening, though some of us will find it in new and unusual places.

#3 Likewise, many of us will find happiness in new and unusual places, by giving up on our old definitions.

#4 Some of us will take Nemesis' advice and see more of our life's happenings with gratitude.

#5 As a result our lives will smooth out from within.

#6 Old and useless aspects of our lives will continue to fall away.

#7 We will let some friends go, but we will find new ones that are better suited to who we are becoming.

#8 Some of us will finally travel while others will finally get to stay home.

#9 The grass will continue to grow and we will continue to mow ;-)

#10 Some of the well will get sick, some of the sick will get well.

#11 Angels or a facsimile of such will continue to watch over us.

#12 Renovation of the world will continue and we'll quit fighting THAT too.

#13 Many will upgrade and be happy about it.

#14 Many will downsize and be equally happy about it.

#15 Ideas and thoughts will flourish but some of us will take them less to heart as we continue to learn to think for ourselves.

#16 Healthy dis-ILLUSION-ment will continue as we rely less and less on what we BELIEVE and rely instead on what we KNOW.

#17 Many will FIND themselves, unless, of course they LOSE themselves.

#18 We will continue to beat loudly on the doors of our own souls in an effort to wake ourselves up and some of us will succeed.

#19 Some will quit looking for the answers where they AREN'T.

#20 Many will FIND The Answer where it IS.

All in all, I think we're gonna be OK. And we will meet back here again in a year and compare notes and find that we are making it through the changes as well as can be expected. Some of us will even thrive. So HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and may your year bring you all good things for the BEST kind of world we can construct.
Everything's OK.
The Beat Goes On...
