Spiritual Telepathy as a Tool for Navigating the Fifth Dimension By DL Zeta

Navigating the fifth dimension requires a high level of awareness that paves the way for constant telepathic communication with your higher self. This spiritual telepathy is created by setting the intention to align with your higher self. As you harmonize with this high-vibrational aspect of your being, you begin to receive frequent information downloads and guidance.

At first, you may not understand all that’s being downloaded into your consciousness. Becoming adept at translating intuitive downloads is like learning to speak a new language. In the beginning, you may only understand a few words, but as you persist in immersing yourself in the new language, it becomes easier to understand. Over time, you become increasingly fluent. As you flood your mind and consciousness with information contained in spiritual downloads, you naturally magnetize further downloads. In time, becoming fluent in the language of your soul allows you to develop a telepathic connection with your higher self. As soon as you formulate a question in your mind, the answer is downloaded into your consciousness.

The Nature of Spiritual Downloads

Receiving downloads of knowledge and information is nothing new. Answers to your questions have always arrived the second you formulated a question. In the past, it may have seemed some answers never arrived. In fact, all the answers arrived the second you asked them, but you were not always able to receive them. This often has to do with levels of receptivity.

As we have said, lack of skill in translating spiritual information is one reason some answers are not received. But receptivity plays an equally important role in understanding spiritual guidance. If a download arrives in a moment when you are less receptive, you may not be aware it has arrived. These less receptive periods may occur during times of stress, physical illness, exhaustion, emotional upheaval or extreme absorption into physical reality. A busy and chaotic mind is generally not a good "receiver" whereas a still and peaceful mind is an excellent receiver. You will likely move between these states during your day, but keep in mind that when you are seeking answers, it’s best to enter a peaceful state to receive them.

Optimal Receiving States

Optimal receiving times are moments when your mind is still, as during meditation, quiet contemplation and reflection; during times when you surrender and reach out for answers beyond your conscious understanding; during times when your health, vitality and life force energy are flowing and your body has a balanced (7.5) PH; during times when your heart and mind are open, when you are experiencing unconditional love, when you are experiencing gratitude, joy, absorbed in creativity and following your spiritual purpose. Focusing your mind through concentration is another technique, as is walking in nature or spending time near water. Even a shower can enhance your receptive ability.

If, after working with these techniques, you still have difficulty receiving guidance, examine if some part of you has reservations. These may be younger parts of yourself that need help understanding and embracing "unseen" dimensions of your existence. Sometimes you intuitively sense that an answer, if fully received, would trigger quantum changes in your present existence. You may draw back, feeling you aren't ready for such sweeping change. As the earthly manifestation of your higher self, you’re able to work with aspects of yourself that exist at all levels to bring about needed healing and understanding. As conductor of your orchestra of selves, you’re able to harmonize your consciousness to bring the laser focus needed to breathe life into your highest dreams and visions.

Your Etheric Escrow Account

There is no need for concern that you have missed important downloads of information in the past. Answers remain in an etheric "escrow" account, still waiting to be accessed and reviewed. This is why those who undergo spiritual openings suddenly find their consciousness flooded with a backlog of unopened etheric mail.

Developing Spiritual Telepathy

In a rapidly evolving world, the only reliable way to navigate is through spiritual telepathy. In this New Time, you will encounter many new energies, ideas and challenges. The best way to navigate these scenarios is by maintaining constant, direct telepathy with your higher self. Your higher self and its repertoire of "past" and "future" life selves contains the vast wealth of knowledge and spiritual understanding your soul has cultivated throughout time. Each time you encounter a new situation, you're able to formulate a question and receive immediate answers from your higher self. Once you receive this information, you can fashion it into the tools needed to navigate whatever is before you in your present moment. Spiritual telepathy allows you to meet each new situation in your life with the enthusiasm and confidence needed to transform it into the golden opportunities and spiritual signposts that enlighten your spiritual path and allow greater access to fifth-dimensional energies.

W offer here some steps to developing spiritual telepathy.

1) Write down and interpret your dreams every morning. Dreams are messages from your higher self that provide you with important information for your day.

2) Interpret your waking dream. Just as you translate dream symbols, you can translate the symbols of your waking "dream." Everything that happens in your physical reality is pointing the way to deeper spiritual truths.

3) Follow your highest vision. Record the images that arrive in your conscious mind and see how you can put them to use in your life.

4) Write your spiritual autobiography and examine the symbols of each occurrence, especially those you still hold energy around. By seeing how a situation was helping you grow, you’re able to receive the gifts it offered and expand your understanding.

5) Eat a light and healthy diet that helps heal and clear old energies in your physical system. Detoxing at the physical level triggers healing at all levels. Clearing up the energy in your environment is another form of healing. Examine to see if there is any dead energy in your environment and release everything that no longer serves your highest good.

6) Practice silence and meditation. Set aside time each day when you can slow down, breathe and reflect. This helps you cultivate inner peace and the stillness of mind that is crucial to receiving spiritual guidance.

7) Practice Q and A's with your higher self. By writing down questions and using techniques such as automatic writing to receive answers, you strengthen your skill at communicating with your higher self. One of the keys to developing spiritual telepathy is learning to formulate questions that bring the information you need within the moment. Formulating questions requires clear seeing, intuition and discernment. Cultivate these skills to help you know what questions to ask. Questions are the gatekeepers to receiving spiritual insight with impeccable timing.

8) Open to the possibility of cultivating advanced techniques for receiving spiritual guidance such as channeling. Conscious channeling is a skill you can practice by opening your consciousness, entering a light trance and allowing your guides, angels, higher self and other high-vibrational beings to speak through you. To free your conscious mind from the need to remember what is said, you can speak the answers into a tape recorder.

9) Study self-hypnosis and learn to put yourself into a light trance where answers freely from flow into your consciousness. As you become skilled at entering a trance, you can slip in and out of this state throughout your day. This "soft focus" state allows you to download messages from your "etheric email" account. The equivalent of this in your physical world is downloading your e-mail from a server. In this case the "server" is your subconscious mind which receives the information from your
higher self.

10) Practice relaxation and other techniques such as yoga and t'ai chi that help you coordinate and harmonize body, mind and spirit. This allows you to function in the state of oneness needed to navigate the fifth dimension.

This Month's News of Interest:

Hope 'Scopes

As many of you know, the forecasts over the last few months have reflected the
negative aspects between various planets that have played a role in the
economic, political, cultural, and societal challenges that we have been dealing
with globally.  Some of you have written to us stating that you are tired of
hearing all of the bad news and that you could really use something positive to
focus your attention on, something to help you feel better as we go through this
trying time.  Therefore, we have decided to create a new version of the
horoscopes.

I have always felt that I should tell you when good things are coming so that
you can position yourself to take advantage of as much of that goodness as you
can.  And that I should also tell you the truth about the bad things coming so
that you can brace yourself and plan accordingly.  I still believe in that
philosophy even though we are going through challenging times at the moment. 
Therefore, I will still write the original style of in-depth monthly forecasts,
as well as the new "Hope 'Scopes".

http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/hope-scopes.html

We will officially launch this new service Wednesday, and the first batch of
upbeat positive weekly horoscopes will be sent out this weekend.

Feature Article of the Week:

The First Ninety Days

A friend of mine recently commented on the amazing number of romance novels
written and the huge amount of money being made in that industry.  He then
shared his observation that these romance novels do not usually tell their
stories beyond the first ninety days or so.  He said people just want to read
about the romance of falling in love, not of the day-to-day life of being in
long-term relationships.

I told him that it is not necessarily ninety days, but that is a fair enough
number to use for discussion purposes.  I went on to tell him that those first
ninety days of a relationship set the tone for the rest of the time you are with
someone.  Typically, if a relationship goes sour in the first ninety days, it is
not going to survive much longer.  If on the other hand, it is a beautiful first
ninety days, then the relationship has a foundation to grow on.  When rough
patches occur in the relationship, the couple often looks back to that honeymoon
stage for inspiration to work through the problems.  If the first ninety days
does not create something worth fighting for, then where is the motivation to
keep the love alive?

I thought back on some of my own relationships.  I have had three major
relationships as an adult.  One never had a 'first ninety days.'  I had decided
to marry someone who was just a friend in order to give my two young children a
chance at having a dad.  He was not really my "type" and he knew that going into
the relationship.  The only thing that motivated me to work through the problems
was my children's desire to keep their new dad around.  When he broke their
trust through some dark behaviors on his part and they quit wanting him around,
I was no longer motivated to bother with him.  Another relationship's 'first
ninety days' only lasted about a month.  By the time the first ninety days was
over, I had gotten pregnant despite using two forms of birth control.  However,
during that first ninety days, he had cheated on me and done many other horrible
destructive things to our relationship.  For the sake of our unborn child, I
would try to make it work.  Finding the motivation to stick with him was very
difficult because there were so few positive memories to build hope on.  Another
relationship had an amazing and wonderful 'first ninety days' that lasted for a
year.  As a result, I fought tooth and nail to make that relationship work long
after everyone around me could see that the relationship had become unhealthy
and self-destructive for both of us.  All three relationships had good days and
bad, but it was so much easier to believe that we could have a beautiful future
together if we had had a beautiful past together.

The first ninety days is very important.  It sets the foundation of 'happily
ever after.'  No relationship can be all perfect all of the time, but with a
strong foundation created right from the start, couples have something to hold
onto, something to call sacred and holy.  That foundation should include
elements of romance, trust, magic, attraction, and a like-minded long-term
vision of how their life together will unfold.  The first ninety days gives you
something solid to believe in.

Romance novels typically end with the couple happily married and delighting in
the beauty of their children.  It is a safe place to end the story because they
have already established a rock solid foundation to build their lives upon. 
Look at the ending of Gone With The Wind.  Scarlett and Rhett did not set up a
strong foundation at the beginning of their relationship.  We were left
wondering if he would ever accept her back into his heart.  In the sequel, she
finally creates 'the first ninety days' with him.  She had to create an
atmosphere of romance, trust, magic, attraction, and a like-minded long-term
vision of how their life together will unfold.  She had to be the one to do it,
because she was the one who refused his attempts to create that foundation in
the first movie.  He then had to wrestle with his conflicting memories of the
first time they had been together as a couple and the second time they were
together.  He eventually gets in touch with that part of himself that had loved
her all along.  They finally can end the story with 'happily ever after' because
the foundation was finally built and accepted as real.  It is not very often
that people get a second chance to create the first ninety days.

I love to ask couples that have been happily married for a long time how they
met.  I also ask them how they knew this was the right person for them.  Their
stories of the first ninety days are always beautiful and often last longer than
ninety days.  So many of them are love at first sight stories.  So many of them
have one basic element that flows throughout the entire story of their
relationship.  Just like in the first ninety days, every time they really take a
long hard look at their partner, they fall in love all over again.  There is
something enchanting about that other person that no matter what happens, they
keep falling in love with them, over and over and over again.  They relive that
first ninety days regardless of life's ups and downs.  They seldom tell stories
of losing faith in the relationship or of ever really wanting to walk away.

Romance novels sell so well because we love the stories of romance.  Movies are
no different than books.  Look at some of the all time greatest movies that
center around love stories.  We love to hear of others setting up such amazing
and powerful foundations that can never be torn down.  It is hidden in the
depths of the human soul - that need to believe that 'happily ever after' really
happens.  We especially like to see the couple overcome adversity only to have
it bring them even closer together.  It gives us hope.  It gives us something to
aspire to.  We love those first ninety days.

The Holidays as Doorways to Emotional Freedom and Higher Awareness By DL Zeta

The holidays sometimes offer opportunities to access and heal painful emotions of the past. Our willingness to embrace and heal these emotions is our greatest ally in creating the emotional freedom that is a key to achieving fifth-dimensional consciousness.

The emotional level of your being is located between the conscious and subconscious minds. Since emotions exist in the realm of the "unseen", they are a sub-level of the subconscious mind. We can see the emotional level as a bridge -- or a great gaping chasm -- between the conscious and subconscious minds.

Your Emotions Are Gatekeepers to Higher Consciousness

The emotional level exists between your conscious and subconscious minds, serving as a gatekeeper. This is by design. Until a person enters a place of peace and love within themselves, they won’t gain access to the vast array of advanced abilities that reside within their higher self. In this way, the emotional level is a built-in protection mechanism. If you're challenged with navigating physical reality and the realm of the emotions, you're not yet ready to take on the unknown and untested waters of the subconscious mind. Imagine this as akin to serving as captain of a small boat. If you’re unable to safely captain a boat on a small lake, you will not likely be assigned captainship of a larger boat sailing vast uncharted oceans.

We offer here some techniques for healing and clearing your emotions, which will allow you to cultivate inner peace.

The Importance of Taking Responsibility

The condition of your emotional body determines whether your emotions serve as a bridge or an obstacle to accessing your subconscious mind. It’s impossible to achieve emotional freedom until you take 100% responsibility for everything in your reality.

If you have a backlog of unresolved emotional issues, your emotions are easily triggered by events, people and circumstances in your environment. This constant emotional upheaval can lead you to "buy into" the illusion of victimhood, scarcity, self-doubt and other scenarios that leave you feeling helpless and disempowered. Helplessness and disempowerment lead to denser emotions that are triggered and catalyzed by self-pity. Self-pity at its core is a denial of the infinite nature of your being and the vast capabilities of your spirit. It leads to an ever denser array of negative emotions that can bar access to the subconscious.

When you exist in a peaceful place within yourself, you’re able to travel at will between your conscious and subconscious minds.

Discovering Emotional Triggers

In order to clear residual emotions, you will need to examine every aspect of your present reality to discover emotional triggers. While many of your emotional triggers date back to childhood, you can find access points through events unfolding within your present moment. If you keep unraveling the strings binding you to turbulent emotions, you will find these emotions are, at the source, wounded and suffering younger aspects of yourself. In other words, the emotional "wounding" happened at a point before you understood how the universe works – a point before you understood how everything that happens to you is helping you grow and learn. Once you see this, you’re far less likely to feel injured or wounded by the events, people, or circumstances in your life.

There may have been times when you felt the actions of others a 'judgment' against you, or an indication of your self-worth. You’re likely to have created situations similar to your original wounding throughout your life. This makes it possible to work with your childhood wound within the present timeframe without excavating the past to find the point of original wounding (though you may at some point choose to undertake this examination of the past as part of your healing process).

To gain awareness of emotional wounds operating in your present moment, pay close attention to circumstances that trigger denser emotions. If it helps, carry a small notebook and note emotional triggers you observe. As you bring awareness to emotional triggers, you lessen their power over you.

Discovering Your 'Sacred' Wound

Many of your emotional triggers trace back to an emotional wound you experienced early in your life, usually by age 7 or 8, though not always. There are many different forms this wounding can take, including the death of a parent, a severe illness or accident, a seeming abandonment or other loss. All sacred wounds have in common an emotional trauma that went into “cellular memory.” Over the years, the essence of this sacred wound is re-energized in various situations in an unconscious attempt to gain understanding of the wound so it can be healed and released. Sometimes, a sacred wound isn't healed in a lifetime. In this case, the essence of the wound is carried forward into the next incarnation where the wound is recreated.

If you choose to gain awareness of your original or “sacred” wound, you can begin by writing a simple autobiography of your life, touching on the emotional highs and lows. Pay close attention to events that still hold an emotional charge. These events reveal to you wounded aspects of yourself still emotionally trapped in time. You can heal and release these aspects by shining the light of your present-moment awareness on them.

This triggering adds density and weight to every rite of passage you undertake. The triggering of unresolved emotional energy is one of the main reasons some turn back from a rite of passage. Transformational periods will bring up unresolved emotions in an effort to purge them. To some, this clearing and cleansing may seem unbearably painful. It’s ultimately the willingness to face all that "comes up" that allows one to take the leap within themselves that leads to the emotional freedom that is the gatekeeper to higher consciousness.

The Nature of the Wounded Self

Inside every person there exists wounded aspects that are most often “wounded child” aspects. These aspects of your self "take on" unresolved emotions throughout your life. Whenever something in your present moment triggers and awakens this wounded self, you experience not only the emotion of what’s happening now, but your wounded emotional body that contains the accumulated wounds of a lifetime. It may seem at times that you are reliving every troubled emotion you have ever experienced.

Accepting the Gifts of Your Wounded Self

Those times when your wounded self calls forth the full menu of your troubled emotions are valuable times when you can access emotions and work with them to bring about healing. You can do this by sitting with your wounded self and undertaking a review of circumstances tied to the emotions. When you allow yourself to "re-see" the situations that created troubled emotions from the light of a higher consciousness, you bring about healing to wounded aspects of yourself and release energy being held around situations from your past.

Foremost among these past situations will be moments from your present lifetime, though these wounded scenarios may also be connected to experiences carried over from past lives.

By seeing troubled emotions from a detached and elevated perspective, you’re able to understand the higher purpose for creating a situation. Once you see the higher purpose of your creations, you have effectively transformed it into an ally rather than a "problem."

Building a Vision of Your Highest Future  By DL Zeta

During this transformational time, you are free to tap into high-vibrational energies now flooding the Earth plane.  The highest and best use of these energies is to build the vision for your highest future. Your highest future is fully accessible as you step more fully into your field of possibilities.  As you harmonize with elevated frequencies, you're able to manifest from the greatly expanded feeling states of your higher self.

Fine-tuning Your Vibrational Frequency

Your feeling states and your "vibrational frequency" determine your level of abundance - not others and not circumstances out in the world.  Those who believe the economy is responsible for any challenges they are experiencing around prosperity are perceiving "in reverse," so to speak.  You are always the source and cause of your experience of reality.  What you manifest directly correlates with the essence of your energy.  Your feeling states are barometers for your thoughts, beliefs and spiritual understandings.  If you hold negative feelings toward anyone or anything, this pulls down your feeling state and your energetic resonance. When you manifest from a low-vibrational energy, you will experience roadblocks, disappointments, illness, accidents, and overall feelings of being out of sync with the universe.  These experiences are not a "punishment", but wakeup calls to help you see that you need to examine the beliefs, intentions, motivations, visions, and identities you currently hold.

By contrast, when you step into a place of taking 100% responsibility for all your experiences, when you have accepted the power and authority of your role as a Divine and infinite being, you open to receive all the joy and blessings the universe has to offer.  You know that you are holographic to all that is. As a spark of infinity, you contain the entire energetic spectrum. Because you contain it all, you can choose to focus on any aspect of yourself that exists along the spectrum of human potential.  In other words, you can choose to focus on any aspect of your being and energize that into your physical reality. 

Opening to a New Vision for Your Future

In order to wield cosmic energy to create realities, you will need to build the vision for what you wish to create.

To move beyond what you have experienced, you will need to step into the unknown and surrender your consciousness to your higher self.  Ask for clarity around visions of your highest probabilities.  Keep receiving and building the vision until you have a clear picture of what you wish to manifest.  In this place of the unknown, you're able to merge your energies with the vision for your highest future, programming it into your DNA.  As you move forward, you will receive daily guidance and assistance to bring this vision into being.

Releasing the Need for Linear Progression

In the physical world, you receive programming that says you must manifest in a linear and incremental fashion.  While this understanding may be helpful in certain areas of your life, it can also be a hindrance in manifesting your highest future. During this time, more than any other, you are able to step free of the need to progress in this way.

The greatly expanded energies accessible on the Earth plane now allow you to take great leaps and experience quantum growth.  As you adopt new and expanded identities your energetic resonance "amps up".  It is in this way that you attract people, resources, experiences, ideas, information, and everything else you need to step into new ways of existing.  From this heightened state, elevated feeling states naturally flow. This allows you to align with the wealth and abundance of the universe.

Feature Article of the Week:

If I Hurt You, Then I'm Sorry

This statement has stopped many a war in my house.  My oldest two children are
two years apart in age and would fight about everything and nothing when they
were little.  One would anger the other and then deny that it ever happened. 
One would accidentally harm the other during play and not want to accept
responsibility for the other's anger.  Seldom did a day pass by that one of them
was not screaming at the other for some horrible crime.  It never failed when I
would be brought in to mediate, they would both claim they were innocent and the
other was bad.  How many times did one of them try to convince me that the other
was lying and just trying to frame them for a crime they did not commit.  What's
a parent to do?

I believe very strongly in teaching my children to be accountable for their
actions and choices.  I want them to have their eyes wide open and to know full
well that when they make a bad choice, bad things are likely to happen.  And
when they make good choices, that good things are likely to happen.  I have
worked hard to get them to grasp the concept that if you treat people badly,
they won't like you.  Also, do not mess with other people's stuff without
asking.  It doesn't matter if you are "a beautiful child of God", nobody will
want to hang out with you, if you tick them off.  Simple facts of life, but I do
not see it being taught in today's society as much as I would like.  They say
that we learn our social skills from our siblings and the neighborhood kids.  We
mimic what our parents role model for us, but we research its effectiveness on
our peers.

One of the things I hated most in my own childhood was being forced to apologize
for things I did not do.  I also hated being forced to apologize when I was
simply defending my person or my property from a known attacker, mainly my
younger sister and brother.  I have also had too many adults in my life
apologize for things they were not sorry for and then later they just repeated
the same actions over and over again.  When people say they are sorry, I often
think to myself, "Good, then don't do it again."  Changing the behavior is so
much more important to me then just offering up the words, "I'm sorry."  I
wanted to teach my children that you should never offer fake apologies and you
should only apologize when you really mean it.  However, I also wanted them to
take responsibility for the environment of anger that they were helping to
create.  Somehow, I had to find the perfect peace-making face-saving way to
teach all of these concepts.

What I finally stumbled across was a twisted compromise.  When you are feeling
falsely accused of something and the other person won't back down, then you
simply say, "If I hurt you, then I'm sorry."  Then you bite your tongue, hard. 
Don't say another word.  Don't snicker and don't sneer.  Just say it
straight-faced and let it go at that.  You can tell yourself that since you did
NOT hurt them, you are NOT sorry.  They can tell themselves that you are sorry
since they feel that you did hurt them.  You do not actually confess to any
crimes.  Besides, what if on some level without knowing it, you did hurt them in
some way?  Wouldn't you want to have said sorry for at least that tiny part? 
Soon peace began to show itself at my house.  They would both smugly tell
themselves that they had won the war of the day.  I would get the much needed
peace and tranquility that I needed.

It did not take long at all for me to see that this statement works just as well
in the adult world too.  Try it at work on a coworker some time and see how well
they respond.  Try it in your marriage.  Try it with your extended family.  It
works on so many different levels.  It can be said in light disagreements or in
major all out family wars.  It always works.  On some level, you mean it, except
for the parts where you don't.  Do not get into arguing over exactly what parts
of the fight you are sorry for or taking blame for.  Agree not to bicker over
the details of the apology.  You can expand it to say, "If during our
disagreement, I have said or done anything that has hurt you, I am sorry.  That
was not my intention.  I never wanted to hurt you."  You are not lying and you
are offering an olive branch.  You really did not want to hurt the other person.
You simply wanted to make your point.  This allows you to save face but still
begin the healing process.  Try it sometime.

I do not think it works for heinous things like rape, murdering someone's loved
one, arson, or military warfare.  It only works for forgivable stuff.  If you
believe everything and everyone is forgivable, then you can try saying it, but I
expect nobody will really buy into it.  If Hitler said it to the Jewish people
or Charles Manson said it to his victims' families, I doubt seriously that it
would have created any real peace.  When something truly ugly happens, you do
have to flat out admit full guilt and a full real apology is mandatory before
real forgiveness and healing can even begin to occur.

This form of apology is not for that sort of thing.  This is meant only for the
hundreds of petty squabbles that we are drawn into and it is a way to create a
general atmosphere of peace and healing.  This is for the people that you
ultimately want to stay close to.  This is an apology for those annoying people
that you love with all your heart, but do not want to fight with anymore.

Feature Article of the Week:

Angel to Angel

Years ago, my minister spoke to us about how you could solicit the help of your
guardian angels to help with conflict resolution.  She told us stories about how
she and others had successfully asked their guardian angels to speak to the
enemy's guardian angel.  The idea being that when you find yourself in an
argumentative situation with someone, that you could request that your guardian
angel talk angel-to-angel with their guardian angel about finding a win-win
situation.  She gave us examples of times when after asking for the angels to
help mediate the problem, that the other party suddenly softened and the
solutions began to easily show themselves.  As she told the stories of her
successes with this approach to problem solving, I began to think about how to
use it in my own life.

I'm not much for praying in the traditional down on your knees with templed
hands approach.  I can't concentrate like that.  My knees hurt and I pay more
attention to keeping my hands in that saintly position and forget to really
connect with any form of a higher celestial type being.  It works better for me
to take out pen and paper and to hand write a letter to my angels.  In really
thinking through what I want to say in the letter, I guess I end up sending out
a prayer after all.  It is just a different form of prayer.  So, when I decided
to use my minister's advice about requesting angel to angel interventions for my
problems in life, I immediately started writing letters to my angels and
sometimes I wrote the letter directly to the other person's angel if I could get
a 'feel' for which angel was looking after them.

It really worked very nicely.  I do not usually have enemies per se, maybe just
grumpy coworkers and such, but I did see a softening of spirit and things always
got better.  Yes, I admit the softening may have come from me, but that is not
what is important.  What matters is that the process served its purpose and
peace and harmony was created much easier than before I had started writing to
the angels.

So, if they can help us with bad relationships, then why can't they help us with
good ones too?  I started using the letters to the angels to help with my love
life.  I am sorry to report that the angels will NOT help your crush fall in
love with you.  Bah!  But they will help someone who is a bit shy but interested
feel more comfortable about taking that leap of faith and asking you out.  Okay,
fair enough.  When you just cannot find the words to tell someone that you care
about just how much they mean to you, then try writing it to your guardian angel
and asking them to deliver the message for you.

Again, whether you pray to them or write to them, it forces you to find the
words to say exactly what it is you want to say.  Perhaps that is where the
magic lies.  I do not know, but when I just write to some vague nothingness in
the sky, then nothing happens.  It only works when I am writing to the angels. 
Maybe they are real and maybe they are not, but believing they are real and that
they will help seems to work its magic on me and on my relationships.

I read an email from a new friend who had read somewhere that this was a good
way to repel negativity.  She gave some examples of how she had used it recently
in her personal life.  The one I thought was very interesting was how she used
the angels' help to protect her sense of personal space.  She does not like
feeling crowded by strangers and asked that the angels keep everyone back to a
comfortable distance.  Apparently it worked.  That is an area I had not thought
to use it in.  I am reminded of walking in dark parking lots to get to my car,
or when taking small children to the fair and not wanting to end up separated. 
I will try asking for the angels' help with these little comfort and safety
areas.

I have also used the 'letters to angels' technique in my work too.  One such
letter became an article because they told me it was a universal prayer and
needed to be typed up formally for everyone's benefit.  Click here to read The
Entrepreneur's Prayer if you haven't already.  In the past, I have used the
prayer letters to help me find start up capital for my business and to help me
find the right office space to lease.  I keep an open-ended request for guidance
in all of my spiritual work.  I ask them when to write, what to write, when to
pitch my work, when to rework the website, and when to have a
toes-in-the-sand-at-the-beach-day so as to become re-inspired again.  As long as
I am listening, I pretty much always get great advice and am in the flow of some
sort of cosmic divine timing.  When I cannot 'hear' them and need direction,
then I will write the letters again.  Soon afterwards, I am able to 'feel' their
presence and can spot the signs again that they are still here helping me.

I do not use them too much for personal gain, because I have this funny little
voice that says I am not supposed to bug them for money and material
possessions.  I am working to get past that belief system because when I have
asked them to help with creating a new car or to find the new home we are meant
to live in, they have always taken excellent care of us and found the perfect
car or the perfect home for us at that time.

Find a form of prayer that is comfortable and natural for you.  I don't think it
matters how you create the prayer, but I do know that it works.  Call on them
and they will help you.

The Present Moment as Doorway to Consciousness Expansion, Part 2 By DL Zeta

Charting a Map of your Consciousness

When an idea, thought, vision or sensation flashes across the horizon of your present moment, it can originate from within your present moment or from any of your other "incarnated aspects" with which you have suddenly come into heightened resonance. Such momentary flashes occur all the time.

Not only are you able to spontaneously enter into closer range with your other "aspects," you are also able to access them at will. To do this, you will need to begin a process of consciousness mapping to identify the incarnational aspects most strongly aligned with your present lifetime. You can begin a consciousness mapping process by closely examining your present moment, which is a hologram of your entire being. Every facet of your present reality points to a specific aspect of your being that exists elsewhere “in time.” You meet these other aspects of yourself every day – nightly, in dreams, in daydreams, or whenever you encounter a new person or new situation with which you strongly resonate.

There are aspects of your consciousness you know well. You may be very familiar with your nurturing self, your musical self, your creative self, but have little experience with your scientific self, your healer self or your inventor self. One day you may find yourself suddenly fascinated with healing and feel healing energy surging in your hands. This is a moment when you come into closer range with your healer self. As you add these new selves to the map of your consciousness, they become like phone numbers or hyper text links connecting you with other realities where other “yous” exist in other timeframes.

Projecting Your Consciousness to Other Locations

Each person is able to project their consciousness to any desired location in time and space. You can project your consciousness to a point in the past where you’re able to view past events from an expanded perspective. Seeing an old situation in a new and expanded way helps you "see-through" any emotional densities you may have assigned to events at a time when your understandings were not as great as they are now.

As you continue to expand spiritually, you can extend your consciousness into other locations in time and space. The possibilities are endless and only limited by the scope of your imagination.

You can visit another location on Earth, another location anywhere in the universe and at any point in time - past or future. Once you have projected your consciousness into a location, it becomes a point on the map of your consciousness you can return to. Your travels in consciousness become part of your memory field. These “memories” are as real as any others; they are part of who you are.

Being able to project your consciousness into a much larger perspective is emotionally freeing. That is because you are able to see the bigger picture of what is happening at the moment. Stepping beyond the confines of your physical existence allows you to see the interconnectedness of all things. Any time you’re able to shift from the small picture of what you’re experiencing to the larger picture, you are able to understand the meaning of what’s happening. When you can project your consciousness into the bigger picture, you make decisions from a broader framework.

When you project your consciousness into the point on the map where you are creating your future, you’re able to make conscious adjustments in your present efforts. It’s not that you’re creating new spaces in consciousness; you're simply stretching into more of what’s already there. Just as the map is not the road, your current understandings and the points on the map you have discovered so far are not the totality of your consciousness. Your experiences are points on the map of your infinite consciousness.

Discovering and Healing Past Traumas

As you learn to chart and access other aspects of yourself, you may become aware of inner wounds you have carried over into your present lifetime. You’re able to track through time to other “yous” still experiencing traumatic or troubling events. These other “yous” experiencing trauma broadcast signals through time that you continuously pick up on until you heal the wound within yourself. It’s by coming into awareness of these other “yous” that you are able to free your spirit from past events and gain the understandings you were seeking by creating the original events.

Visiting a Future Creation

Just as you can heal your past within your present moment, you can also visit your future to gain important knowledge and information. You do this by looking at your dreams and visions of what you want to create in this lifetime. Track your intended creations into the future to witness their arrival in physical reality. You do this through the eyes of future “yous” within this lifetime. This allows you to fine-tune your creations and learn from the aspects of yourself who have completed the experiences that are “in progress” within your present moment.

You can learn how to live your life right now by visiting your last day on Earth in this lifetime. During this visit, you may receive information of important undertakings that might be left undone if you stay on your present course. In this way, you are able to make course adjustments now. You can also visit your next lifetime to see what will be "carried over" from this lifetime that you could clear up and resolve now.

Experiencing Vertical Time

Most people tend to think of moments as happening in a horizontal or “linear” fashion. But there is another way to experience moments. You might think of this as “vertical time.” In vertical time, you may experience a week that feels like a year of “linear” time. One way to experience vertical time is to step outside time. You do this by removing your conscious focus from the space/time continuum to effectively "step outside time" into the world of no-time. This is the timeless dimension of spirit where you become a time traveler visiting your past and future to discover your spiritual destiny. By traveling through time to your past, you’re able to bring about healing and release for the parts of your spirit trapped in time by emotional traumas and other misunderstandings. Releasing your past frees trapped energy that becomes available to empower your present moment. It’s this process of retrieving your soul in all the places where it is held that frees your consciousness and allows your complete focus in the present moment. This complete focus allows you to discover and fulfill your spiritual purpose and destiny.

An empowered present-moment self is able to travel to your future to commune with your future self and discover who you are becoming and what you came here to do. By merging with your future "self," you’re able to view the fruits of your present creations and make course corrections if you don't like what you see.

The Doorway of the Imagination

Your ability to expand your present moment is largely dependent on your willingness to travel through the doorway of your imagination. There’s a thoughtform on earth that whatever resides in the realm of the imagination is "not real" or "made up." Those who belittle the workings of the imagination are limiting themselves to a purely physical-based existence.

The imagination is the doorway to true spiritual liberation and transcendence. It’s the imagination that expands the consciousness into new realms and thoughtforms that create new pathways in the mind and spirit.

The person who cultivates an active and vivid imagination is able to join hands with their past and future to bring their point of power (the present moment) to a laser focus for creating the highest good for themselves and all others. It’s this laser beam of conscious, clear vision that has the power to heal you at all levels and transport you into a future of joy and well-being.

** Conditioning and the Spiritual Path **

This post was inspired by a few different elements which I've seen in various
threads. Fenzero's writings and topics from Jaff's "How I see it" group have
really made me want to know what everyone thinks regarding the conditioning's we
all receive throughout our lives and how it affects our own spiritual paths.

I have quite a passion for cross-cultural spiritual studies and I have always
ran into the same "teachings" in every single one that promotes spiritual
growth. They all stress the utter importance of learning to "uncondition" many
aspects of our lives in order to see the way things truly are which is by
definition the term "enlightenment". Each has their own techniques, but the
importance of making the first step is always there, even if they have
completely different cultures and values. I do not subscribe to any one
particular path, mine is my own, however for me there has been plenty of great
knowledge passed down over the years. It is quite obvious that as children we
need to learn many things in order to adapt to reality and "fit in" with our
current culture, but is there such a thing as too much conditioning? Or perhaps
just plain wrong conditioning? I assume most would say "yes", so I would love to
hear your thoughts on what's too much, maybe why and perhaps share a life story
or two. Listening to eachother's hardships and triumphs might just give that
person who has been feeling confined or trapped the courage to make a change in
their lives which would enable them to grow and move past obstacles. Mine was
the conditioning of organized religion and issues with an angry father. I grew
up with all sorts of rules and dogma which I rebelled against in my teenage
years and happily found my own path, but I still find to this day many latent
patterns of thought and behaviour which reflect that early conditioning. It's
amazing when you realize just how deep into every day activities conditioning
can run. I was told very early on to only "play" after all the hard work is done
and to be quiet and reverent around other people. Even after all these years I
find I have to remind myself that "I" truly have the power of choice to do as I
will in that moment. It's easy to think that we always have the ability to
choose our actions, however on deep introspection I think we can find an
overwhelming number of "habits" and patterns of thinking and feeling which are
really the determinates in our actions. For me, to truly be able to say "I
choose freely" without any guilt, shame, regrets, rewards/punishments or
attachment is the magnum opus of Spiritual achievement which I hope to awaken as
I traverse my path. Any thoughts?

also find astrology articles and other interesting information at our website.


Aries - March 21 through April 20
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/aries-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html
A partner or a rival is upset with your professional success or lack thereof. 
However, next month, you will find quite a bit of positive energy helping you
with your career regardless of what others think of what you are doing.  This
month, your social life is blessed and you are encouraged to join friends,
teammates, and colleagues in cultural, religious, academic, political, and/or
travel-related activities.


Taurus - April 21 through May 21
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/taurus-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

It will be nice to see more trust and sharing (love and money) in your private
life and in your professional life.  There are still political, legal, cultural,
religious, academic, or travel-related issues slowing productivity levels at
work, but overall you seem to be doing well and earning the respect and
admiration of your boss and other authority figures.


Gemini - May 22 through June 21
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/gemini-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your partnerships and your finances are enjoying some positive energy.  However,
your career seems to be upsetting a partner or rival and they are making sure
that you know just how upset they are.  Still, you have plenty of opportunities
to build trust and show your loyalty to the company, so your boss is more likely
to bless you with financial compensation, which can help to quiet your grumpy
partner.


Cancer - June 22 through July 22
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/cancer-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your professional and financial activities seem to be going well.  Your spouse,
best friend, or business partner is upset about something or someone in your
private life.  They expect you to help them resolve it.  You are also encouraged
to "let go" of old things, people, ideas, behaviors, etc that would keep you
from achieving your goals for the upcoming New Year.


Leo - July 23 through August 23
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/leo-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your professional life is a blend of teamwork and profits clashing with gossip
and miscommunications.  Happy surprises and chaotic drama often coexist at the
same time for you and your coworkers this month.  However, you are also
experiencing a great deal of fun, joy, and playtime with loved ones outside of
the office.  You have a great deal more of this pleasant energy than you do
professional drama.


Virgo - August 24 through September 22
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/virgo-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your finances are still too tight for a lot of splurging and playtime
activities, but you are not going without food and shelter or dealing with
anything that you cannot handle.  A partner is upset about something in your
home life, but you are working hard and succeeding at creating a new beginning
in that area of your life so the situation should not be as dramatic as your
partner thinks it is.  By Christmas time, you have some lovely kiss and make up
energy between the two of you.

********************


Libra - September 23 through October 23
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/libra-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

A parent, roommate, or houseguest could be driving you crazy.  Or you could be
ticked off about a mortgage, lease, or household project you are working on. 
Whatever it is that is bugging you in your private life does not keep you from
having a wonderful time socializing, bonding with loved ones, and celebrating
the holidays.  You are in a generous mood and you are a gifted bargain hunter
this year.  You also enjoy a profound grand finale in your professional life
that could have a big impact on your new year.


Scorpio - October 24 through November 22
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/scorpio-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Money is tight most of the month, but you have some great opportunities to work
on your professional and financial goals and then you get some great bargain
hunting in during the final days before Christmas.  You also have some lovely
opportunities to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and to
thoroughly enjoy the holiday festivities.  You still have to deal with the local
dramas concerning someone's addictions, gullibility, or bureaucratic mess, but
you are given an extra dose of the Scorpio power of persuasion.  Therefore, you
will still be in the driver's seat even if you have not finished steering things
into a new direction just yet.


Sagittarius - November 23 through December 21
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/sagittarius-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your finances are still a bit iffy, but things are definitely on the upswing. 
You will need to bite your tongue and try not to say anything to your roommates
or parents that you will regret later.  Your love life or psychological outlook
could experience quite a big change too.


Capricorn - December 22 through January 20
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/capricorn-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your professional life is moving along slowly and you are not happy with the
lack of progress.  However, you are psychologically and financially approaching
things quite smartly so things are taking care of themselves.  Your relatives,
neighbors, or community members are rather chaotic and annoying, but not so much
that they ruin the holidays.  They just add their usual "human interest stories"
to the season.  You and a romantic, social, or business partner enjoy a profound
and lovely grand finale at the end of the month.


Aquarius - January 21 through February 18
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/aquarius-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

You still have a great deal of psychological, bureaucratic, or spiritual drama
happening in your life.  You are being encouraged to do a deep reevaluation of
your attitudes, beliefs, and philosophies.  Unfortunately, it is through life
challenges, bigots, know-it-alls, and society's rules that you are forced to
evaluate your own role in things.  Luckily, your social life, finances, and
partnerships are doing pretty good and you are able to accomplish a major
professional goal or end some physically unhealthy practices by the end of the
month.


Pisces - February 19 through March 20
http://www.TomorrowsEdge.net/pisces-monthly-astrology-horoscope.html

Your social life and your professional life are both benefiting from plenty of
positive energy this month.  You need to be careful with romantic and financial
activities involving friends, teammates, colleagues, and/or the Internet, but
otherwise, things are going pretty well.  You have a number of opportunities to
take leadership roles, charm your colleagues, brainstorm clever solutions to
various problems, and get your point across to others.

Feature Article of the Week:

What Is Channeling?

From my earliest memories as a very young child, I have been experiencing
various paranormal activities.  I had clairvoyant visions and occasionally heard
voices, but mostly I "felt" other people's thoughts or feelings.  I think my
particular niche is labeled as telepathic empath.  As one of those kids who
always asked, "Why?" I had to find out how all of this worked.  Like any kid
with a cool new toy, I wanted to feel that rush again and again.  How do I make
it happen again?  From the time I first learned how to read, I began my quest
for knowledge.  What is this and how can I control it?  Years later when the
ghostly presence of my celestial guides invited themselves into my reality, I
had to add them to my quest for comprehension.  "Who are they and how do I
control them?"  Here's what I know so far.

Clairvoyant visions are well documented throughout history.  We have all heard
of the people who changed their mind and did not get on the Titanic because of
an eerie knowingness that something bad was about to happen.  Almost every plane
crash has the same sorts of stories wrapped around it.  Many of us have avoided
car wrecks and such after hearing, seeing, or feeling the oncoming disaster
before it happens.  So, we can pretty much agree that clairvoyance happens.  But
why?  How?  Some believe that time does not move in a straight line, but rather
it weaves back and forth and around itself.  Okay, so does that also explain the
concept of history continually repeating itself?  However, that does not tell me
how I can randomly see a different spot in time other than the one I am supposed
to be in?  I have not found anything that definitely tells me how someone can
see a past or future piece of time.  We only know for sure that it does happen.

Telepathic episodes are probably more common than any other paranormal event. 
Ever 'feel' someone just before they call you on the telephone?  I have read
stories of mothers who 'felt' their sons die in battle.  Scientists have done
extensive research in this area.  The test that I find amazing is the one where
they have two people who have never met set up in two different countries.  One
is to focus on sending the other hints, clues, and visions of a particular
photograph or painting.  The second person is to 'receive' the information and
decipher it.  The receiver then recreates or describes the details to the
scientists.  It is set up as a double blind experiment so that the scientists
with the 'receiver' do not know what the 'sender' across the world is looking
at.  They have repeated it many times over with quite a few different 'senders'
and 'receivers'.  We know for sure telepathy does happen, but how?

There is a large group who thinks that it is simply a heightened level of
perception.  They say that on a subconscious level the person experiencing
frequent telepathic episodes is really just picking up on hundreds of little
clues like body language and pupil dilation.  They say that the telepath does
not realize that they have gathered up a bunch of these tiny clues and are
actually just coming to a logical prediction as to what the person is about to
say or do next.  That probably is happening most of the time on an everyday
level.  We all know someone with that uncanny ability to 'read' someone, to know
what they are about to say.  However, that does not explain the times when the
person you are 'reading' is not even in the same city as you.  How do they
explain it then?

Quantum physics is helping us to begin to understand some of the inner workings
of such things.  The current understanding is that thoughts and feelings have an
energy, life force, or frequency wave associated with them.  What we are trying
to figure out is how does that energy get picked up by others and correctly
interpreted?  The basic theory is that our thoughts are like radio waves and our
brains have subtle 'receivers' in them.  Therefore, we subconsciously 'read'
each other all of the time.  Wouldn't that explain why we attract to us those
things that we put our focus onto?  Like attracts like.  Different frequencies
keep moving on until they find a like-minded frequency?  That would also explain
the telepaths ability to 'read' others.  Do they have a supercharged 'receiver'?

It is believed that our thoughts are not trapped in time like our bodies are.  I
read somewhere a few years ago that they can still pick up Hitler's broadcasts
in the airwaves.  They are old and fuzzy but they are still out there.  Is the
clairvoyant simply picking up thought frequencies from the future?  The people
on the Titanic would have put out hugely intense strong thoughts and nightmare
emotions about the ship going down.  Those thought vibes went out through the
cosmos and found their way to people about to get onboard the Titanic.  Did they
'feel' the thought vibes of the people drowning in the future and then changed
their minds about getting on the ship?  I suspect it is some aspect of that
dynamic that makes it possible to telepathically 'read' someone's future or
past?

So, what about the channeling of guardian angels, spirit guides, aliens or
whoever else you might be a conduit for?  How does that work?  There are the
proven fakes and I think what they do is horrible.  We paranormal folks have a
hard enough time earning credibility.  So, let's look at the ones that seem
real.

There seems to be two different styles of channeling.  One is when an entity
like Seth or Ramtha comes through and is borrowing the channel's body for the
purposes of communicating with us.  Psychologists are saying this is probably a
form of a multiple personality disorder.  My understanding is that the channel
really does not know that they have taken a hidden aspect of themselves and
created an entirely different personality to deliver it.  The psychologists
making this claim do not appear to have any proof one way or the other.  They
are simply saying that it is a reasonable explanation.  I have not found
anything to help prove scientifically that Seth and Ramtha are real or not.

The second form of channeling is the kind often found in artists.  These
channels say that their music, writing, paintings, speeches, or sculptures came
from somewhere other than themselves.  These artists go into a trance in order
to channel their great works.  Some like the public speaker go into a light
trance remaining fully aware of their environment and the audience's response to
their words, but having really no idea what they are going to say next.  It is
not a memorized rehearsed speech.  Others like the writer Ralph Waldo Emerson
claim to be completely under the spell of their trance, almost sleeping through
the writing process.  Upon finishing their work, they are amazed and curious to
see what has transpired as they 'napped.'  To varying degrees, these artists say
they have channeled their great works.  Psychologists believe this happens when
we have suppressed our talents from ourselves so deeply that our mind has to
create a separate source to give the credit to.  We are in essence tricking
ourselves into getting out of our own way, so that we can do the great works we
would have done anyway.

The psychologists are probably right most of the time about both of these forms
of channeling.  However, sometimes there are cases that just do not fit in, like
Edgar Cayce's medical cures.  How did he know all of that?  Did he
telepathically pick it up from some expert somewhere on the planet?  Did he pick
it up from somewhere else in time?  What about the psychics that can tell you
about your dead friends and family?  They are able to prove themselves by
telling you personal secrets that they could not possibly know.  Are they
telepathically picking our brains and giving us back pieces of our own memories?

Many of my childhood questions around the paranormal are still unanswered.  I
have found conflicting theories, but very little proof of anything.  To make
matters worse, most serious scientists wont study our questions because they do
not believe us.  All we seem to know for sure is that there are things we just
do not understand.  All we can tell you is that it feels very real to us in the
moment and we believe that it is something outside of ourselves.  We mean well
and most of what we channel is positive upbeat and empowering.  I could tell you
what my guardian angels say about all of this, but isn't that sort of defeating
the purpose of discussing the scientific proof?!

Hello,

We have not been able to send outgoing emails since late Sunday evening or early
Monday morning.  We are receiving your emails, but unable to respond.

Yahoo is our web host and email server.  Apparently, they are doing some kind of
maintenance update on their servers.  When you get this email, you will know
that the problem has been resolved.

Also, their website says that these updates will be happening until the 21st, so
the December horoscopes may not go out until the 22nd if our servers are still
being worked on.

Thank you for your patience.

take care,
Skye

Good morning,

I apologize for the late start today.  We had parent/teacher conferences this
morning and then computer maintenance stuff that just seems to have wiped out
most of the day.  All is well though, a smart high-speed second-grader and a
smart high-speed computer too.

take care,

Feature Article of the Week:

Love and Light

Seems that everyone who writes to me signs their letters "love and light."  It
has such a bright uplifting sound to it.  Lightworkers are being taught to hold
the energy of the light and to equate love with a warm white light that heals
and protects.  After what feels like an age of suppression and darkness, it all
sounds like such a refreshing change, much like the first bits of sunlight after
a long harsh winter.  And so the pendulum swings.  Still we do not find balance.

Years ago a man came to speak at our church.  Forgive me for my lousy memory,
but I cannot recall which indigenous tribe or belief system he taught.  What I
remember is that he had an amazingly calm and soothing presence and that he ran
us through a chanting meditation that had the entire room spellbound with love
and healing energy.  What he taught is what stuck with me.  He said that his
people do not assume anything when sending each other healing energy.  They do
not predetermine that the person needs white light, or green light, or physical
healing, or mental healing or anything else.  They imagine darkness warm and
secure like a mother's womb protecting and embracing the person who appears to
need help.  They send them energy that is void of all color or emotion so that
the person and his spirit can do as they will with it.  It is the ultimate in
detachment.  They simply send the darkness and allow it to become whatever it
needs to become in order to heal the persons body or soul.  I imagined it as
pure unrefined energy rather than as highly tuned and polished energy that the
Lightworkers have so beautifully crafted.  The concept stuck with me.  Among his
people there is no battle between the light and the darkness.  All energy is of
the original source and all is holy and sacred.

I look to nature for reassurance that this is indeed the natural way of things. 
The sun and the seasons have their natural perfect cycles of light and darkness,
of growth and of death.  If the summer lasted forever, the grass and trees would
all shrivel up and die.  If the darkness lasted forever, the seeds would never
sprout anew.  We can love each for its gift and even have a favorite that
touches us a bit more then the other, but the balance is perfect and runs along
beautifully with or without our loving it.  The cycles of life and death, light
and darkness do not require our help nor our approval.  Such is healing and
religion.  All that is, is.... with or without our comprehension or approval.

Light and darkness need each other as a yin yang reveals.  Without the other to
reflect itself off of, they cease to exist.  Remember the cool shade under the
trees on a hot summer day.  Remember the cool dark room for healing a migraine
headache.  Remember the restorative sleep that is best done in the dark.  The
caveman inside of us may still be afraid of the dark, but it does not mean that
the darkness and its energy is bad or evil.  Much evil has been done in the
light of day.  Much evil has been done in the name of God and every other holy
label we give to the light.  And goodness can also come of the shadows.

The dark night of the soul is perhaps the most pivotal moment in every healer's
life.  Until you embrace that which is deeply hidden within yourself, you cannot
take your full and complete self into your sacred work.  If you deny the
darkness within, you deny yourself the chance for real healing, real balance,
real peace, and real change.  It is in our darkness that we lick the wounds we
have been dealt and it is in the darkness that we find fortitude and strength to
carry on regardless of other people's opinions of us.  It is in the darkness
that the angels come and show us that we are not alone.  The shaman's journey is
into the darkness where man keeps his secrets and his power.

The battle between light and dark is a cruel lie that was taught to us just like
the battle between men and women.  One is not better than the other.  One is not
more important or more holy then the other.  Masculine energy versus feminine
energy is not a battle to be fought, but the comparison of two gifts held within
each of us.  The light and darkness are the same way.  Do not turn your backs on
each other over gender and do not turn your back on the gift of darkness just
because some leaders long ago told you things that were not quite true.  The
darkness is no more evil then women are.  The darkness is simply another piece
of the game of life to be explored and experienced.

Do not think that I am advocating evil behaviors or that I am saying you should
worship Satan.  I believe that karma will kick you in the head if you are mean
or hateful towards others.  I believe that the boomerang always comes back and
you get whatever you dished out.  I am simply advocating the exploration and
appreciation of the darkness.  Remember that the stars sit in a black night sky.
There is so much more darkness up there then there is light.  Remember laying
out under those stars on a warm summer night and contemplating humanity's place
in the universe.  Beautiful amazing inner reflection happens in the dark.  Find
balance between the two and learn to be whole within both.  Do not assume that
you know enough to judge any one color or shade as superior or inferior to
another.  It is the same with the colors of energy as it is with the souls of
men.  Love them all for they are all pieces of yourself.
