Greetings Everyone,

I chose the ChoKuRei symbol to meditate on as the Spirit Card of The Week. Try
tracing the symbol in the air a few times a day and see if it makes a difference
in how you are feeling.....


There are various forms of Reiki symbols prevalent that are practiced There are
four primary symbols which are universal. The first one is the ChoKuRei symbol.

1. ChoKuRei or the symbol of power: If translated literally, ChoKuRei means
"unite all the cosmic powers here". This symbols is greatly practiced by Reiki
masters as it helped to focus the energy for healing a patient. It is used at
the beginning of the session to enhance the power and also at the conclusion to
protect it from coming out. This symbol also helps in purifying the patient and
protecting him or her from mystic attacks. (1)

--------------------------

Choku Rei indicates strength, power, action. It represents energy with a
direction and purpose. It is used to support all other Reiki instruments
(creative visualization, positive verbalization, recall, other symbols – from
Usui's Reiki, Karuna Reiki or one's own).

Choku Rei means: "by the emperor's command", that is to say "what must be, shall
be". A more free interpretation which nonetheless conveys the idea of this Reiki
symbol's meaning is: "all the energy of the universe is focusing on this point".
(2)

--------------------------

The first traditional Reiki symbol is called Cho Ku Rei and this symbol brings
power to you. It is translated as "Put all the power of the universe here". This
Reiki symbol is used at the beginning of every treatment and it serves to boost
the Reiki energy flow. To concentrate the energy to a specific area, the symbol
can be drawn or visualized. Practitioners of Reiki also use the symbol at the
end of a treatment to close and seal the energy. (3)

Addiction to prescription painkillers - which kill thousands of Americans a
year - has become a largely unrecognized epidemic, experts say.

In fact, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal
overdoses each year, says Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

The number of overdose deaths from opioid painkillers - opium-like drugs
that include morphine and codeine - more than tripled from 1999 to 2006, to
13,800 deaths that year, according to recently released CDC statistics.

In the past, most overdoses were due to illegal narcotics, such as heroin,
with most deaths in big cities. Prescription painkillers have now surpassed
heroin and cocaine however, as the leading cause of fatal overdoses,
Paulozzi says.

Experts say it's easy to see why so many Americans are abusing painkillers.
As Americans age and carry extra pounds, more are asking for pain relief to
cope with joint problems, back pain and other ailments.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:







Remember the Reagan-era ads, "Just Say NO!" Well, since then, street drugs
have taken a definitive backseat to a far greater threat - prescription
drugs, especially pain killers.

They're typically used legally, eliminating the stigma of being a junkie.
You don't need to do business in the shadows to get your fix anymore. You
just refill your prescription and pick it up at the nearest pharmacy where
no one looks at you crooked.

Time to Raise Pandemic Level 6 Warning on American Drug Paradigm

According to Robert DuPont, a former White House drug czar and former
director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, "The biggest and
fastest-growing part of America's drug problem is prescription drug abuse.
The statistics are unmistakable."

The CDC should take notice of these statistics and raise a Pandemic Level 6
Warning for the use of prescription drugs - it's clearly killing FAR more
people than the swine flu ever will.

Swine Flu Deaths As of November 17, 2009  =  8118 world wide.

USA Today reports that about 120,000 Americans end up in the emergency room
after overdosing on opioid painkillers each year, and reports that about
120,000 Americans end up in the emergency room after overdosing on opioid
painkillers each year, and prescription drugs in general cause most of the
more than 26,000 fatal overdoses annually. This despite the fact that the
FDA increased the restrictions for consumer drug ads in 2005, especially for
COX-2 painkillers like Celebrex and Bextra.

At the time, aggressive drug marketing was blamed for the increased and
inappropriate use of painkillers. However, I believe the cultural acceptance
of prescription drugs - a pill for every symptom - may have replaced much of
the need for excessive marketing of these drugs. People know they can get
them simply by asking their doctor.

Another contributing factor is the fact that conventional doctors have
bought into the drug paradigm hook line and sinker. For example, as
described in USA Today, a long-term treatment plan for pain will typically
include a drug-combination approach, using anti-inflammatory drugs,
anti-convulsants, and muscle relaxants.

Drugs, and more drugs -- each one raising your risk of suffering potentially
lethal side effects...

How to Treat Your Pain without Causing More Grief

Many people reach for the pill bottle with little or no thought of what it
might do to their health in the long run. Some 26,000 people die prematurely
each year as a result...

It's completely understandable to want to get rid of pain. However, please
understand that there are many options to prescription painkillers that are
much safer, even though they may require some patience.

Here are several guidelines that can help reduce, or potentially even
eliminate, your pain, depending on its severity:

* Start taking a high-quality, animal-based omega-3. My personal
favorite is krill oil. Omega-3 fats are precursors to mediators of
inflammation called prostaglandins. (In fact, that is how anti-inflammatory
painkillers work, they manipulate prostaglandins.)
* Eliminate or radically reduce most grains and sugars from your diet.
Avoiding grains and sugars will lower your insulin and leptin levels.
Elevated insulin and leptin levels are one of the most important reasons why
inflammatory prostaglandins are produced. That is why stopping sugar and
sweets is so important to controlling your pain and other types of chronic
illnesses.
* Optimize your production of vitamin D by getting regular,
appropriate sun exposure, which will work through a variety of different
mechanisms to reduce your pain.
* Retool your diet based on your body's unique nutritional type.
Understanding your nutritional type is a tool I have seen work in thousands
of patients to reduce their pain. If you are not yet aware of your
nutritional type, you can take our free
<http://products.mercola.com/nutritional-typing/>  online test now.
* Use effective energy psychology tools, such as the Meridian Tapping
<http://www.mercola.com/forms/eftcourse.htm>  Technique (MTT). MTT can
address your previous emotional traumas that cause bioelectrical short
circuiting, predisposing you to immune dysfunction.
* Use safer alternatives for temporary relief, while you are in the
process of implementing the above strategies. For several safe and effective
suggestions, please see this link
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/01/12/anti-inflamma
tory-part-one.aspx> .

As you can see from the list above, there is no "quick fix" to treating
pain, but rather it is a lifestyle change that will be well worth the
effort.

More Examples of Reckless Drug Use

The reckless use of unnecessary drugs is especially obvious today as the
swine flu hysteria is in full swing. Drug companies are now touting statin
<http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2009/11/11/Can-it-Get-Muc
h-Worse--Drug-Company-Now-Claims-Statins-Recommended-for-Swine-Flu.aspx>
drugs, of all things, to be an effective remedy against the H1N1 virus!

What we have here is a cornucopia of unrivaled foolishness!

But let's take a look at a more commonly prescribed drug for the seasonal-
and swine flu that, in all likelihood, is causing far more harm than good -
Tamiflu.

According to a recent study
<http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/339/aug11_1/b3249>  into the use of
Tamiflu for children with flu symptoms - the most extensive research of its
kind, so far - Tamiflu falls flat.

The researchers, who analyzed four studies of children aged one to 12,
published their findings in the
<http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/339/aug11_1/b3249> British Medical
Journal (BMJ) on August 11, 2009. They found that the anti-viral drugs
Tamiflu and Relenza:

* Put children at higher risk of dangerous complications
* Had little impact on the length of the illness
* Had little impact on the spread of the swine flu
* May cause drug-resistant strain mutations

Children given these drugs were found to recover LESS THAN ONE DAY earlier,
compared with simple rest and recuperation.

According to the researchers, the risks of Tamiflu and Relenza far outweigh
their negligent benefits, and children should therefore NOT be given these
drugs for the swine flu.

Common side effects included:


(Graph from the Daily
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205542/Tamiflu-risks-outweigh-bene
fits-children-warn-swine-flu-experts.html>  Mail, August 11, 2009)

The Daily Mail notes that this finding will no doubt cause confusion, as it
contradicts recommendations from government health officials. Not
surprisingly, the British Department of Health dismissed the study, saying
the results were based on seasonal flu, despite the fact that the scientist
specifically noted that these results also applied to swine flu.

Again, health officials are choosing to ignore scientific warnings that
their recommendations are NOT in the best interest of the majority of
people.

Latest Stats Show Flu is LOWER This Year than Last Year

This is particularly upsetting when you consider the fact that the current
flu season, swine flu and all, is the MILDEST flu season in years!
According to CDC and WHO data, far fewer people have died from H1N1 than any
seasonal flu in the past.

This graph from the CDC
<https://owcex01.mercola.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=1d1967352cfd4c9ea742303e72cc9f
d7&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.cdc.gov%2fflu%2fweekly%2fweeklyarchives2009-2010%2fb
igpi41.htm>  showing the "Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality for 122 US
Cities" also show that, so far, this year's flu mortality is far below that
of 2008.



Why are our health officials recommending mass use of ineffective drugs that
carry a higher risk of detrimental side effects than the illness it is
supposed to treat?

How Does Swine Flu Compare to the Black Plague?

The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service brings up yet another interesting
point of reference to put the swine flu vaccination program in its place.

Did you know that the plague <http://www.dhpe.org/infect/plague.html> , also
known as" The Black Death," is still alive and kicking?

The plague was one of the deadliest pandemics in history, killing an
estimated 30-60 percent of Europe's population in the mid-1300s (about 50
million people). The US has seen some 400 cases of the plague since the
1950's, and worldwide there are some 2,000 cases, and hundreds of deaths,
each year.

There's a vaccine for
<http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00044836.htm>  the plague as well,
and yet you've likely never heard of it.

Why?

If there are constant outbreaks of the one of the deadliest diseases on the
planet each year, why aren't health officials urging everyone to get
vaccinated?

And even more interestingly, why is there no plague epidemic?

This is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases there is, yet despite
worldwide occurrence, it's not spreading and killing like it used to
anymore...

The Black Death epidemic was clearly not wiped out by antibiotics or mass
vaccination, because neither existed at the time. If a vaccine was not
required to quell a deadly, infectious disease like the plague, why are you
told that vaccination  is the ONLY way to stop a flu epidemic?

The answer is that, just like the plague was quelled by the implementation
of better sanitation and nutrition, the flu - be it seasonal or H1N1 -- can
be vanquished by similar means.

How to Protect Yourself against the Flu without Vaccination

Following these simple guidelines will keep your immune system in optimal
working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to
begin with.

* Optimize
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/02/23/vitamin-d-def
iciency-part-one.aspx>  your vitamin D levels. Optimizing
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/11/29/new-research-
on-how-sunshine-decreases-infections.aspx>  your vitamin D levels is one of
the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, including
the flu. It is probably the single most important and least expensive action
you can take. I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/02/23/vitamin-d-def
iciency-part-one.aspx>  D level monitored to confirm your levels are
therapeutic at 50-70 ng/ml and done by a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab
Corp. (If your lab results are returned in nmol/L, simply divide by 2.5 to
get ng/ml.)
* Avoid
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/14/insulin-part-
one.aspx>  sugar and processed foods. Sugar decreases the function of your
immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune
system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness.
* Get
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/03/08/sleep-diabete
s.aspx>  enough rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily
tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be
harder for it to fight the flu.
* Have
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/07/24/stress-immune
-system-part-two.aspx>  effective tools to address stress . We all face some
stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be
less able to fight off the flu and other illness.
* Exercise <http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/exercise.htm> . When
you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout
your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated,
which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness
before it spreads.
* Take a Good <http://products.mercola.com/krill>  Source of
Animal-Based Omega-3 Fats. Increase your intake of healthy and essential
fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining
health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are
trans fats and in processed foods as it will seriously damage your immune
response.
* Wash
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/09/25/flu-hygiene.a
spx>  Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of
spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use
antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely
unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a
simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.
* Use Natural Antibiotics, such as oil of oregano, and garlic
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/02/28/garlic-health
.aspx> . These work like broad-spectrum antibiotics against bacteria,
viruses, and protozoa in your body. And unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics,
they do not appear to lead to resistance.
* Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines. Hospitals are prime breeding grounds
for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you
could be exposed to infectious diseases like the flu. Keep in mind that
virtually all vaccinations will LOWER your immune system, NOT make it
stronger!

A BULLET TO THE HEAD


Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO
November 21, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

It seems people often need to experience a bullet to the head before they
will believe bullets can be deadly...and then they rue the day they ignored
warnings about playing with loaded guns.

Vaccination seems to hold a similar place. People ignore words of caution
and roll up their sleeves to get a flu shot. It seems they think getting a
vaccine is the same as taking a multivitamin, and equally as benign. But
when serious adverse events occur, such as Guillain-Barre paralysis, a
seizure disorder or even a death, a jolt of reality lays bare just how
damaging a “simple vaccine” can be.

The stranglehold of fear, perpetrated by those in white coats and by the
medical bureaucrats in Washington DC who take their marching orders from
pharma, is working hard to choke rationally thinking adults into submission.
I get emails almost every day that say something like, "I bought your DVDs
and your books...but I have a question: Should I get a flu shot?" WHAT?@!>!
My mouth drops. I have to clear my head and find a way to say, "No, you
should not get the flu shot", being cautious to keep my tone void of
sarcasm. That may seem harsh, but in very turbulent times. Soft language and
hand holding until people “get it” is becoming increasingly more difficult.

Being in the business of waking people up to the hazards of vaccines
certainly has its ups and downs. A recent “up” was the public policy debate
held on November 10 at the University of Texas in Austin. Sponsored by the
Libertarian Longhorns, the Texas College Republicans and a few other Texas
health freedom groups, the discussion called, "Are Vaccine Mandates Good or
Bad for Public Health?" was open to the general public. Interest in this
timely topic was reflected by the standing-room only attendance of the
meeting.

Speaking in support of vaccination and school mandates was Tom Betz, MD,
MPH, Director of Region 7 for the Texas Department of Health Services.
Several of his health department colleagues joined him in the audience but
chose not to join him on the stage. I had the pleasure of being teamed with
Dawn Richardson, President and Co-founder of PROVE (Parents Requesting Open
Vaccine Education) in Austin, Texas and the Directory of State Advocacy for
the National Vaccine Information Center in Vienna, Virginia. Our
presentation was mostly about opposition to vaccine mandates but we were
able to address our opposition to vaccines in general. Based on the hundreds
of comments we received, the debate (found all on YouTube) was well received
and enlightening for all.

All three participants were given the questions to review prior to the
debate. There is so much to say about vaccines that preparation was
important to cover key points, almost as sound bites; only three short
minutes were allowed for each answer. Our very professional moderator, Dr.
Donna Campbell, allowed equal time for each side.

During the personal introductions, Dr. Campbell informed the audience that
the plan was to have two persons on each panel; but that Dr. Betz was the
only person from the Health Department who would agree to participate. Prior
to settling in on the stage, I had learned the reason why.

Shaking Dr. Betz’ hand, I thanked him for joining the discussion. He
returned the niceties with a slight shrug, confessing that, “No one else
wanted to do it.” Surprised, I queried, “Why not? This is a great way to
tell everyone your message about vaccines.” My unspoken question was, “Why
didn’t the Health Department want to jump on the opportunity to bury
anti-vaccination ‘pseudo-science’, as you call it, once and for all, in
front of everyone?” He quietly replied, “We’ve done these types of programs
before; they never go well.”

It seems pro-vaccine arguments are being soundly defeated, time after time.
And the real vaccine “pseudo-science” is being exposed for the rhetoric it
is: factoids crafted by public health officials from the WHO and the CDC,
and then regurgitated by under-informed medical professionals to a naďve
public. Funny how medical bureaucrats and doctors are considered the
"experts" when it is strangely obvious they don't understand – and probably
don’t even read – their own medical literature.

The Austin debate was the next important step in exposing that the “science
of vaccination” isn’t so scientific after all. Vaccination has been accepted
as safe, effective and protective. The shots can be described as a medical
sacred cow, defined as “a medical procedure that is unreasonably immune to
criticism.” Doctors and patients who question vaccines are ridiculed and
marginalized. It is heresy to suggest that the status quo is wrong.

Vaccine adverse events are considered “rare,” so when reactions occur, steps
are taken to negate the association to the vaccine. Patients are
discredited, parents are dismissed. Doctors subject very ill persons to
thousands of dollars of inconclusive medical tests, rather than to simply
acknowledge – and rightfully assign causality – to the vaccine. When a
person reacts to penicillin or Paxil or any other drug, it’s it is blamed on
the drug? Not so with vaccines.

Going to Austin was an upbeat offset to other particularly disturbing news
reported over the last few weeks about the H1N1, swine flu vaccine:

• Several schools have vaccinated children without parental consent.
• The growing list of reported miscarriages.
• A teen athlete who is now crippled.
• Two students and a teacher in China who died hours after getting the shot.

• Children having hallucinations, and then committing suicide, after taking
Tamiflu.
• The strange and virulent outbreak in the Ukraine, where the WHO has been
deafeningly silent about its findings – but knows that whatever is the
cause, vaccination is the answer.

We seem to regard germs the same way we think about terrorism: Random
attacks that can be deadly. All parties who promote vaccination hawk this
view, particularly those pushing both types of flu shots. Tens of millions
have been spent in the US on national advertising campaigns, and even Sesame
Street merchandising, to convince us that flu shots are necessary to keep us
well – and keep us alive. But perhaps we have it backwards. Bugs can cause
random, mostly benign attacks, particularly among the healthy. But random,
“deadly” attacks, with health consequences that can show up years later? I’d
worry more about the vaccines.

After 200 years, with our many advances in science and medicine, you would
think that someone could develop a method to protect babies and adults from
infectious disease other than injecting them with animal cells, stray
viruses, heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Why do we call this health and
protection? Until my dying breath I will never understand why people
resolutely defend – and demand – the right to inject themselves and their
children with these risky patients.

For those who meet resistance when trying to warn family and friends of
vaccine risks, the only thing to do, really, is to keep spreading the word.
Don’t be discouraged. You never know who is listening and you never know
when the seeds will sprout. Focus on those who are waking up and gratefully
support them. The rest, well sadly, they may have to find out the hard way
what it feels like to get hit by that stray bullet.

STAY AWAY FROM CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION



By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.
November 21, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

For many years it has been known to well informed individuals within the
medical community that chemotherapy and radiation were quite toxic and
essentially worthless in the management of malignancies. This information is
carefully covered up by our controlled media so that these two methods of
therapy are regarded by lay persons as the proven therapy for malignancies.
Like lemmings going over a cliff the general public lines up for these
therapies and nearly all treated persons proceed to die.

To the person who inquires how can an essentially worthless therapy continue
to be used the answer is simple. It is all about money. Chemotherapy drugs
bring in more than a trillion dollars annually to the pharmaceutical
industry. Oncologists frequently make $1000 from every injection
administered to a patient. There are 40 National Cancer Institute Centers
scattered across the USA. Each of these employs thousands of employees.
Curing cancer would be devastating for the economy and must not be allowed
to occur. Research programs whose alleged purpose is to cure cancer see
their funds steered into harmless areas where no cancer cures will ever
result. Less than 1% of research funds are spent finding methods to prevent
the spread of cancer, which is the cause of fatal cancer cachexia which
kills 90% of cancer victims..

Preventing unfavorable chemotherapy results from being seen by the public in
TV, radio, and newspaper reporting is combined with malicious quackery
charges and actual death threats to practitioners who have legitimate cancer
cures. I am aware of at least a dozen cancer cures since 1900 that have been
ignored or suppressed. Several persons with bonafide cancer cures have been
so vilified they died alcoholics or committed suicide. Prominent physician
Dr Milbrook Johnson was poisoned the night before he was scheduled to speak
on a national radio network in the 1940s about the ability of Dr. Royal
Rife's electronic equipment to cure cancer and infections.

Both chemotherapy and radiation have such toxic effects on the human body
they must be stopped before they kill the patient. In the early days of
chemotherapy drugs it was noted that skeptical patients who refused to take
chemotherapy usually lived longer than patients treated with chemotherapy.

Radiation therapy directed toward a bone containing cancer might initially
seem innocuous but actually has effects throughout the body. Circulation of
blood through areas of ionizing radiation being delivered to bone is able to
transport this radiated blood to distant sites where it can injure bone
marrow production of killer lymphocytes, red blood cells, macrophages and
platelets. Loss of appetite and nausea can be seen. Conventional radiation
to the abdomen and other areas may be followed by permanent injury to the
small intestine(diarrhea, pain) and arteriosclerosis of arteries in any
field of radiation.

A suspected cancer patient had xray films showing numerous lucent identical
sized masses overlying brain and spinal cord tissue. The films were misread
as metastasis from a prior malignant melanoma instead of echinoccocal cysts
spread from the family dogs.. Massive radiation of brain and spinal cord
tissue caused complete loss of appetite with no food intake and death in 8
days in a previously well 26 year old woman.

What are results of chemotherapy drugs? Associate Professor Graeme Morgan of
Australia was the lead researcher on an article titled "The contribution of
cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5 year survival in adult malignancies." This
research showed that chemotherapy improved 5 year survival by less than 3%
in adults with cancer. In 1987 Dr. Lana Levi of the University of California
wrote "most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. It does not
eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancer. This fact has been known for over a
decade. Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemotherapy
than without it."

Dr. Ralph Moss Ph.D relates that "Conventional Cancer therapy is so toxic
and dehumanizing that I fear it more than I fear death from cancer. Yet most
alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are
outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't
work because there is no other choice. Dr. Moss was employed as a science
writer for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Chemotherapy
drugs are cellular poisons so they are quite toxic. They are also quite
expensive. In his book The Cancer Industry he documents how the close links
between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment enables an
inadequate therapy like chemotherapy to become promoted and established as
standard care".

In a 1995 interview Dr. Moss related that chemotherapy was effective in only
2 to 4 % of all malignancies(Hodgkin's Disease, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia,
childhood leukemia, testicular cancer and Choriocarcinoma.)

The package inserts for chemotherapy drugs admit that taking a course of
chemotherapy drugs can increase your risk of subsequently developing a new
cancer by about 10%.. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health(NIOSH) warns that the powerful drugs used in chemotherapy can cause
cancer in employees who handle them(nurses, pharmacists, cleaning
personnel). If continued too long these drugs are fatal. The damage to white
blood cell, killer lymphocyte and red blood cell production makes the
patient vulnerable to overwhelming infection which is the cause of death in
many patients on chemotherapy and radiation. It never made sense to me why
administering toxic substances that cause major side effects could possibly
heal a serious illness like a malignancy.

Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, MD "To understand the utter hypocrisy of
chemotherapy, consider the following: The McGill Cancer Center in Canada,
one of the largest and most prestigious cancer treatment centers in the
world, did a study of oncologists to determine how they would respond to a
diagnosis of cancer. On the confidential questionnaire, 58 out of 64 doctors
said that all chemotherapy programs were unacceptable to them and their
family.

In 33 years of conventional medical practice I referred all patients with
malignancies to oncologists. The only survivor was a Chinese man with a low
grade lung cancer. He responded every five years or so to a few doses of
radiation.

In my opinion one of the most important verses in the Bible is Proverbs
14:12 There is way that seems right unto man but its end is the way of
death. Drug company owners and executives, politicians, world leaders and
media executives have unbelievable wealth and power in this world. However,
they face a tortured eternity following death. This seems to be a very
unwise tradeoff.

Anyone reading this article has my permission to copy or publish this
information. Hopefully, some individuals will be made aware that there are
safe effective alternatives to chemotherapy and radiation in the treatment
of malignancies.

you are trying to get pregnant and having problems!





The Unromantic Truth About Why You Kiss

Posted by: Dr. Mercola
<http://articles.mercola.com/members/Dr.-Mercola/default.aspx>
November 21 2009 | 30,589 views



The kiss may have evolved for reasons that are far more practical - and less
alluring - than prevously thought.

British scientists believe it developed to spread germs.

They say that the uniquely human habit allows a bug that is dangerous in
pregnancy to be passed from man to woman to give her time to build up
immunity.

Cytomegalovirus, which lurks in saliva, normally causes no problems. But it
can be extremely dangerous if caught while pregnant and can kill unborn
babies or cause birth defects. These can include problems ranging from
deafness to cerebral palsy.

Writing in the journal Medical Hypotheses, researcher Dr Colin Hendrie from
the University of Leeds said: "Female inoculation with a specific male's
cytomegalovirus is most efficiently achieved through mouth-to-mouth contact
and saliva exchange, particularly where the flow of saliva is from the male
to the typically shorter female."

Kissing the same person for about six months provides optimum protection, he
added. As the relationships progresses and the kisses become more
passionate, her immunity builds up.

Previously scientists have claimed that kissing acts as a form of
evolutionary quality control, with saliva holding clues to fertility, health
and genes.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:







Although not as romantic a notion as we might like, the theory that kissing
may have a far more important biological function than the pleasure of
bonding makes sense.

Sharing germs through kissing, prior to pregnancy, which allows the woman to
develop natural immunity that protects the couple's offspring, is a simple
and elegant solution against a potentially devastating infection.

The Curious Biology of Sexual Attraction and Lasting Love

Needless to say, the reason why we kiss is not the only area of human
sexuality that has been explored by researchers. Virtually every nook and
cranny of sexuality and procreation has been investigated, to find out the
elusive reasons for why you do what you do.

Pheromones, for example, likely set the stage for the "immunity-building"
exercise of kissing. Because without the right chemical signals, you
probably wouldn't get around to kissing in the first place.

Pheromones are chemical signals that animals secrete to communicate their
gender or reproductive status to other animals - and humans are no
exception.

Even though you don't consciously recognize the smell of pheromones, these
chemicals likely play a role in helping you find a suitable partner.

For example, if you've ever found yourself inexplicably attracted to a
stranger you've just met, it could very well be their chemical signals that
you find irresistible. Humans tend to be attracted to those with a
dissimilar genetic make-up to themselves, which is signaled by subtle odors.
This ensures genetic diversity for the species.

Researchers have actually confirmed the presence of a
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/10/new-evidence-
emphasizing-sense-of-smell-in-sexual-attraction.aspx> "secret sex nerve"
(Nerve "O"), which has endings in your nasal cavity. Nerve O's fibers go
directly to the sexual regions of your brain, and because Nerve O bypasses
the olfactory cortex, it does not register a conscious smell, but rather
identifies chemical sexual cues.

Interestingly, this biological strategy designed to ensure healthy offspring
and a diversified gene pool, has been artificially altered through modern
medicine, with the invention of the contraceptive pill.

As it turns out, pregnant women are drawn to people with a similar chemical
makeup. And when a woman takes a hormonal contraceptive, her body believes,
in a sense, that she is pregnant even though she's not.

This hormonal alteration causes her to become unconsciously attracted to men
with a similar, rather than different, chemical makeup. Unfortunately,
couples who have high levels of chemicals in common are more likely to
encounter fertility issues, miscarriage, and even infidelity.

It could even explain the inexplicable - why so many people have such a hard
time maintaining long-term attraction, and staying "in love". Because
according to researchers, odor perception also plays a significant role in
maintaining attraction to partners.

When the woman stops taking the contraceptive pill, she again becomes more
attracted to people with a dissimilar genetic blueprint from her own. So,
the level of attraction felt to a specific person while on the pill may
change once she stops taking the pill.

Finding a partner who is chemically different from yourself appears to give
you the best chance of reproducing successfully, and enjoying continual
attraction to each other, without infidelity.

For some people this may be enough to reconsider the pill, but there are
even more important reasons to avoid birth control pills. Birth control
pills alter many chemical signals in your body, which is the real reason why
I strongly suggest that women
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/10/27/birth-control
-part-two.aspx>  avoid birth control pills like the plague and seek out
natural
<http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/11/16/natural-birth

planning methods instead.

Here are the latest crime stats for your area and some Holiday Safety
reminders.



Holiday Safety

This holiday season, don't let the spirit of giving lull you into giving
burglars, muggers, and pickpockets a chance to do their dirty work.
Criminals love the holidays as much as everyone else because it's an
opportune time for them to commit a crime!



Take a holiday inventory!

The holidays are a good time to update - or create - your home inventory.
Take photos or make videos of items, and list descriptions and serial
numbers MCj02290270000[1]making sure to store the information in a secure
place. If your home is burglarized, having a detailed inventory can help
identify stolen items and make crime reporting and insurance claims easier
to file. Make sure things like TV's, VCRs, stereo equipment, cameras, sports
equipment, jewelry, silver, computers, home office equipment, and power
tools are on the list.

Use OPERATION I.D.

Operation I.D. is a simple program that deters burglary and theft, as well
as assists law enforcement in the event your property is stolen. You simply
engrave your Driver's license number on your property using the following
format.

YOUR STATE Abrev. (state driver's license #) D.L.



j0331438 Are you a Snowbird?

Even if you are not one of the many who head for warmer climates during the
winter months, chances are you have a neighbor who is.  Leaving your home
unattended for an extended period of time poses a risk of criminal activity
in and around your property.  The best rule of thumb here is to make your
home looked lived in.  Put exterior lighting on dusk-to-dawn sensors.
Install timers on key interior lights to replicate your normal lighting
behavior.  Stop mail and paper delivery.  Have a neighbor pick up any
unforeseen deliveries that happen to show up on your doorstep.  You may also
consider giving a relative or trusted neighbor a key, and have them open and
close drapes.  Most importantly, arrange to have snow removed from your
driveway, sidewalks, and porch.  Nothing signifies your extended absence
better than undisturbed snow on your property when it has not snowed for
several days.  At a minimum, have neighbors drive up your driveway and walk
up to your front door to make your home looked lived in.


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead

The Present Moment as Doorway to Consciousness Expansion, Part 1
</channeling/93167/present-moment-doorway-consciousness-expansion-part-1>
By DL Zeta

When accessing fifth-dimensional consciousness, you may find it
necessary to expand your definition of the present moment. You have
probably heard it said that the key to developing awareness is to "be
here now." Being present and awake within each moment is undeniably a
major component of spiritual awareness. We ask you now to take a step
further to examine the scope of your present moment. Who are you within
this moment? Are you limited to what you see in front of you, or do you
hold within your consciousness a vast repertoire of possibilities you
can activate at any second? Do you hold within you maps of consciousness
that point to infinite locations and states you can access at will? Do
you feel your past (in this life and others) is inaccessible or do you
feel connected to these past aspects and even assisted and supported by
them? Are you able to travel through the doorway of your imagination to
visit your future and learn what you're creating in order to fine-tune
your present moment?

Does your present moment contain a doorway to an inner temple where you
regularly commune with angels, guides and other aspects of your being,
or does your present moment contain a barren, one-room shanty where you
feel lonely and cut off from the rest of the universe and worse, from
parts of yourself? The perception that your present moment is
compartmentalized and shut off from both past and future limits your
ability to access other aspects of your consciousness. These aspects
represent parts of you incarnated through time that can help you heal
the past, design future realities, and access a wide range of latent
skills and abilities.

Each Moment Contains Infinite Possibilities

We have undertaken this discussion to bring focus to the infinite
possibilities that exist within each moment. It's not enough to simply
say, "Be here now." If a person's belief system isn't sufficiently
expanded, they will likely find the present moment to be rather dull and
uninteresting. When faced with residing solely within a lackluster
"present moment," many people create outer diversions, become thrill
seekers and even develop addictions. Depending on a person's early
programming and beliefs, they may extend this perception of emptiness to
themselves, finding themselves lacking. Many thrill seekers at the root
feel themselves empty without a dust storm of activity swirling around
them. They keep others at a distance, fearing they would perceive their
emptiness if they got too close. This doesn't have to be the case.
Expanding your definition of the present moment can open a dazzling
array of possibilities that will never leave you feeling bored, lacking,
or empty.

Steps to Expanding Your Present Moment

A first step to expanding your definition of the present moment is to
examine your present beliefs about who you are. If you believe you're a
vast, multidimensional being of infinite capabilities, you're well on
your way to expanding your present moment. If, however, you believe your
present physical reality is all you have and that you're limited to the
information you've programmed into your personal CPU, your definition of
the present moment could use some stretching.

When you view the world through the eyes of spirit, it's easy to see how
each person is spirit incarnate. Spirit, with its infinite nature, has
the ability to be all places at all times. The word "omniscient" is
often used to describe this unlimited potential. Some of you might say,
"But this is the word we use to describe God." Now we are finally
getting to the root of things. Do you see God as separate from yourself
or as a part of yourself? We offer this holographic definition: you are
to God as a drop of water is to the ocean. A drop of water has the same
properties as the ocean. It is holographically the same as the ocean,
just as you're holographically the same as God and with the same
properties and potentials. This is a second step in expanding your
present moment -- to see God, all-that-is - whatever word you choose to
describe the infinite -- as a part of you.

You are an Omnipresent Spark of Spirit

You as an omnipresent spark of spirit have likely been incarnated
hundreds and even thousands of times. We say "likely" because some
entities in this universe incarnate only on a few occasions and for
specific purposes. Younger souls have by definition experienced fewer
incarnations than older souls. (The fact that you're reading this says
you're an older soul).

You have been incarnated in numerous timeframes throughout history, both
past and future. You may find it a stretch to contemplate the
possibility that your spirit has incarnated into future timeframes. You
might wonder why a being that has experienced life in 2100 would choose
to stage their next incarnation in 1950. There are reasons why an
advanced soul chooses to incarnate into a "past" timeframe. You have
been incarnated in the past and that you likely have been or will be
incarnated in future times on planet Earth or elsewhere.

You are Simultaneously Incarnated throughout Time

There is no "time" in the expanded concept of the universe. All your
incarnations are occurring simultaneously in various realities. If you
had a lifetime in Egypt in 550 AD, that "you" is still alive and well in
its own energetic coordinate in the universe. Likewise, if a future
"you" is incarnated in the year 2550 on your home planet of Betelgeuse,
that being is alive and well within its own energetic timeframe.

Some incarnations are closer energetic matches to your present moment
than others. These other "yous" are creating other experiences and
understandings in their own timeframes, but they still hold various
levels of resonance to the "you" that exists in your present moment.

Your higher self is in tune with all these various incarnations
occurring simultaneously. It is by tuning in to your higher self that
you learn about these other "yous" incarnated throughout time. As you
learn about them, you can choose to visit them in consciousness. In this
way, you're able to share information, knowledge and skills.

It's by learning about and connecting with these other "yous" that you
are able to come more fully into latent talents and abilities. A Mozart
or Einstein is not created in one lifetime. True genius develops over an
arc of lifetimes and culminates in a timeframe where the individual is
able to merge with other aspects of themselves to consolidate
understandings and abilities honed throughout time.

Worth and Responsibility-The True Beginning



Greetings dear friends, dear, dear friends;

It is with great excitement that we greet you today. So many of you are truly
beginning to see and feel the changes stirring within you. The realization
within the fiber of your beings of the truth you have always known deep inside
to be true. The truth we speak of today is of your worth.

You see, each of you innately knows you were born good, you are good and you are
meant to be happy, enjoying the process you came here to experience. Each of you
knew when you were born that you were an extension of Source energy and as such,
are one with all things and are truly in harmony with all things.

Your worth has never been questioned by anyone but you, you are beginning to
really feel and believe the truth of that. A true beginning for each of you, our
physical friends, comes when you know inside your being, that you are worthy of
all of your desires, that you are innately good and fully connected to the
stream of Well Being and that you are the only one responsible for your
experience, no matter what life looks like around you.

When you fully begin to take that in, to know that all you have to do to begin
again, to change anything in any moment that you do not like, is to realize that
through the knowing of what you don't want, even though things may look like
that is your only choice, and that is how it is right now, is the realization of
the opposite, of what you do want. That is where you can change everything
around you in one subtle shift. For when you know what you do not want, you know
more of what you do want. When you turn your attention to that of what you do
want, you begin to line up with thoughts that are more pleasing to you. You
begin to see things that you like versus things you don't like. You simply
change the focus and begin to search for things that please you. When you do
that, everything begins to change.

The things you don't like around you begin to fade, when you stop giving your
attention to them, they begin to dissipate and you begin to notice some things
that you do like. And as you choose to focus more and more on what you do like,
more and more things line up to support that. More thoughts that are alike, more
circumstances that are alike, for that is how the Law of Attraction works. That
which is like unto itself, is drawn. It is Law of the Universe. You have only to
learn how to consciously yield it to create that which pleases you. You yield it
all day every day, but you are now beginning to realize that if you consciously
focus on what you desire, even if it is not yet available for your outside
looking eyes to see, but you see it with your inside looking eyes, your focused
intent will draw it to you, every time, no exception, and then you will
eventually see it with your outside eyes. That is manifestation.

When you know, that only you are responsible for your own reality, when you know
that you are innately good and connected always to Source energy, that you are
an extension of All That Is, you cannot help but to know how spectacular you
are, what a wonder it is to be human and to desire fully, a joyful, delicious
experience.

When you know, that the moment of your birth was an event that you chose to
experience, to become an extension of Source energy, to come into a physical
body and have a physical expression, each and every one of you wanted at that
time, to have an experience of tangible creation, knowing you are greatness, you
are from greatness, you are made of the energy that creates worlds, you are a
part of a never ending expansion of consciousness, that knew innately, that you
had every single thing you could ever want or need, for you are part of
everything, you knew that you would be born into physical expression, you knew
that you were a magnificent being, coming into physical form to feel, touch and
taste, to experience life from a tangible perspective, to create joyfully all
day every day. You knew that the Universe would yield your every desire to you,
for you knew that all you had to do was to focus upon that which you desired,
play with it joyfully in your mind, expect it to come and beyond all else, knew
you could have anything you wanted anytime you wanted it, simply for the joy of
it and by doing so, by experiencing this joy, by deliberately intending your
experience, you were leading the way in the expansion of the consciousness of
All That Is.

Do you get that?

In a nutshell, you knew that you were good, your worth was never in question and
you knew that no matter what things looked like, you were the creator of your
world. You have each experienced a true beginning at your birth and can each
experience multiple true beginnings if you choose to take one breath right here
and now, say to yourself I choose a new beginning, in this moment, it is my
intention to deliberately create my reality, to seek out only that which pleases
me, to draw to me all the desires I am wanting and deliciously experience the
joys of anticipation, knowing that as soon as I let in one desire I will
playfully begin to focus on the next desire and the next desire. It is Law of
Attraction and I yield it to my will. I am an extension of Source energy, I am
on the leading edge of conscious thought. I am worthy and responsible for all
that I see around me that is what I deem my reality. I experience great joy and
happiness knowing that I am here to experience in physical form all that I wish
to tangibly experience.
I am an extension of Source energy, connected to All That Is and I am from the
energy that creates universes. I am a magnificent, blessed being and I am now
intending to co-create the most joyful, wonderful experience for myself here and
now.

We knew you before you came into your physical expression as an extension of
Source energy and we know you still, we see who you truly are, even in your
physical bodies, with all of your colorful, beautiful shapes and sizes. You
cannot hide who you truly are..although so many of you have tried. Your energy,
your pure essence of who you are is who we are. For you are an extension of us,
our dear physical friends. Remember, remember we are part of you.

We hold great love for you,

the Messengers

Greetings from Home

Dear ones, this day is special in many ways of which you are unaware. You are
now at a point where you can pretend to be something other than what you are.
That allows you to see contrast in ways you have not before. We wish to tell you
a story that may help you put into perspective some of the things you are
experiencing as this evolution of humanity continues. We understand that you are
at the leading edge of the vibrational change. Many of you feel much of the heat
that results from this shift, for you are the ones who are the precursors to the
light. Yes, you are the ones who dare to go ahead and hold the door open for the
others. So, let us speak of the overview of spirit in this perspective.

The Actualization of Energy

There came a point in creation of All That Is where energy was actualized. It
was actualized for the first time in a timeline. The moment that matter became
energized, you had something in your realm happen that is called the Big Bang.
Although you know very little about what really happened, it was basically a
series of chain reactions that started very small. With the Big Bang began the
illusion of a timeline that you were able to work with. Let us share with you
the illustration of an explosion, because that is how you all perceived it.

Although you have witnessed the result of the explosion, you have no evidence of
the actual explosion. In the explosion, everything scattered from that center
point forward, moving outward. However, as the energy moved it forcefully
collided with matter so that energy was forced into every crevice and part of
the matter. In effect, the matter became energized.

Because of the extreme force with which this occurred, both became somewhat
contorted. The energized matter twisted and started to transform, as if it had
been stretched to a new dimension. Because the energy was stretched in this way,
much that exists at Home and on Earth are different; things that work here do
not necessarily work there. Home has a pure expression. Planet Earth is the
perfect imperfection of god, so it was necessary to have your reflection be
imperfect in every way.

Well, that put a twist on everything when the little gods began to feel
separate, or different. It was almost as if god had exploded. When the energy
was forced into matter, both changed forms and consequently the illusion of time
was created.  The resulting explosion reached so far out into the universe that
little pieces of god began to form, creating an illusion of being finite. The
pieces of god began to play on a timeline. That has stretched and changed things
to such an extent that now it looks like the little gods are wearing eyeglasses
in order to play their game. Everything they see has to be translated through
these glasses. Even if they see the perfection of Home they cannot relate to it,
nor can they fully understand it because they are in another dimension. Part of
becoming used to this became one of the biggest challenges to the little gods.
The gods also had to wear the glasses to make them forget who they were. They
also had to forget the connection they felt with others around them; they forgot
that the others were little gods as well. So, their biggest challenge was that
every thought they had manifested. Every single time they would hold a thought
in their mind, it would happen. That became quite problematic, because it
allowed no leeway of thought since every thought had a responsibility connected
to it. That is why they placed a time lag on their creations, so the little gods
could play the game of pretending to be human.

The Eleven-Sided Coin

Now we would like to explain something that will become clear to most of you in
the very near future. You are multidimensional. Each little god would be like an
eleven-sided coin (hendecagon). You call them Loonies in Canada and have
different names for them elsewhere. There are four or five coins on Earth that
have eleven sides. Although there are different sides on each coin, it is still
the same coin. If you move in one direction, this facet comes up. If you move in
another direction, another aspect shows up. We use this to show you another way
to view the eleven dimensions of self; each one of you has eleven different
facets. The eyeglasses that the gods are wearing are keeping them from seeing
the other facets of themselves, or even the evidence of their own facets. So,
that keeps you separated into different dimensions where you cannot always see
your reaction or connection to others. This provided the little gods an
opportunity to have eleven experiences on planet Earth at the same time with the
same soul, with the same coin.

Because the little gods were in the illusion of a timeline, they were able to
see their footprints as they traveled through time. That had never happened
before, because the little gods had always lived in circular time. Suddenly they
were in linear time, which allowed them to see themselves in a new way. The
little gods began their journeys and they began watching their creations. They
started to doubt themselves, because they could not see that they were creating
every thought. They began thinking that it was not possible to see without the
glasses, believing that they were not even creators. Instead, they thought that
circumstances actually ruled their lives. Because they held that thought, they
created the reality that made that true. We did not even think of that. Ah, you
humans are so creative.

Let us explain a few other things that might help you understand.  Although we
are speaking about the beginning of humanity, you are now on the opposite end of
that spectrum. You are pushing the boundaries of what would have been the end of
humanity and in the process changing everything.  At the very last moments of
the game, the little gods began to take off their glasses and re-member their
power.  It has been difficult for the little gods to understand their own magic,
after spending so much energy hiding it from themselves.
You learned how to walk in the timeline. However, the original force that
exploded and in doing so pushed all of that energy into areas of the universe
where it had never existed before, is no longer pushing.

The Out Breath of God Has Begun *

That force which created everything you see in front of you is no longer pushing
in the same way it was. Even though it is moving in the same direction, it is
now retreating. The universe is no longer expanding; it has crossed the boundary
point at which it is actually beginning to shrink. The "out breath" of god has
begun.*  So, what does that mean for the little gods who no longer feel that
push to be separate? Well, that is rather interesting. In the illusion of living
in the timeline, you learn to see everything as either up/down, right/wrong,
good/bad, or black/white. You see contrasts rather than similarities. Every time
that you learned something, it would be because you had pushed one of those
boundaries.  You learned to push in this direction and in that direction, which
is really how humanity expanded and became what it is today. Now that energy is
no longer forcing and pushing from the Big Bang, things are starting to change.
You are having difficulty with much of the change.

Outer Edges of Truth

You see many examples of extreme polarity on your planet right now. When we say
extreme, we mean that one person is going to push the boundaries all the way in
one direction and call that outside edge their truth. Another person is going to
push all the way to the other side, and call the outer edge their truth. We do
not care which outer edges you think are right or wrong, for none of that makes
any difference. These are only the outer edges; that is all you have called your
truth up to this point in your history. You are now about to spend more time in
this area than you ever have before, because that energetic force  pushing you
out into the universe is no longer there. As a result, you are now free-floating
with that eleven-sided coin. You are capable of moving around and doing things
in ways that you have never done them before. This is the magical time on planet
Earth, when the little gods have begun to awaken from the dream. They started to
understand that they could create anything, even with the glasses on. They began
to understand that everything they see in front of them was a result of their
own thoughts. It was what they held in the creative aspects of their minds and
their hearts, which was then pushed out into the universe to create a reality
that would exactly match their expectations. Now what you are experiencing is
that you are still pushing the edges of those boundaries. So, that means that
when one person calls something right, someone else is going to call the same
thing wrong. Now is the time to start looking for ways you are alike, instead of
ways in which you are different or separate. This is the time for humanity to
come back together, recognizing that you are all little gods. It does not matter
where they are, were born and raised, or even what kind of belief systems or
experiences they have had. Your critical mass is reaching the point of no return
and you will not go back to doing things the way you have always done them. We
can guarantee you that.

Learning the Overview of Triality

Now it will be critical to stop pushing the outer edges. The more you push these
outer edges to find the extremes on the outside, you will no longer find truth
in those extremes. Now we ask you to first look in the middle for your
definitions, and then look to the outside. Watch the way that each one works,
rather than judging. Consider the possibility that you are faced with the same
challenges, and that perhaps you simply approached them from different angles.
Something can be learned from each angle. Now is the time for unity on this
planet, and in a very big way. For all of humanity, 2009 was the beginning of
the end of separation on planet Earth. The veil is beginning to be lifted so
that you can see each other clearly. You will see each other's hearts first, and
so the magic continues. The eleven-sided coin will gain new dimensions; it will
not be a flat coin any longer, but it still has eleven aspects. You will have 11
aspects of yourself, too. Because of this movement and the next evolutionary
process, there is much more that we wish to explain to you about what is
currently happening.

Multidimensional Bleed-Through

Even though we have spoken many times about the opportunities for all of
humanity to become multidimensional, the progress has been so very slow. So far,
we have only been able to plant esoterical thoughts in your mind. You have not
been able to prove any of this to yourselves, nor have you seen its practical
uses. We wish to share with you that one thing happening now that has been
labeled bleed-through. You are starting to feel things through other dimensions
of yourself. The other sides of the coin may be experiencing a big adventure, or
a growth period, where they are having great difficulties. Suddenly you may find
yourself quite sad, in pain, or having difficulty for no apparent reason. The
bleed-through is becoming stronger because your veil is disappearing. That which
has kept you separate from yourself in many ways, is now starting to diminish.
As a result, a lot of ways that you have typically dealt with energy before will
be reducing and going away. Being the teachers and the healers that you are, you
will find new techniques. You will work with them so you can share them with
others in the room and around the world, who can then take these energies and
help grow to the next level. This is a time to watch what happens on television
and put yourself in that person's shoes. Consider how you would react if you
were in that situation yourself. This is a time to start thinking on a personal
level what that would look like if it was happening to you, because it is
happening to you. You are not disconnected from each other, and between 2010 and
2012 humanity will learn that. We are so overjoyed to be even a small part of
helping you re-member your true nature and what you really came to do.

The Perfect Imperfection

You will begin seeing things the way they really are, for you understand that in
order to play this game, planet Earth had to be imperfect. For instance, music
is not a human invention; it came directly from Home. When you brought it to
planet Earth, you had to shift it slightly to make it fit into an imperfect
world. That is the why your chromatic scale is not in equal increments. In order
to sound perfect to you, it has to be imperfect. If you are counting using
numbers, you use a base ten system which does not actually exist throughout the
universe. The rest of the universe and Home is on a base twelve system. However,
it had to be altered slightly for you to use it and be practical with it. You
think of base ten as very simple and not at all complex, whereas base twelve is
quite complex. But we tell you that it is exactly the opposite of that. Through
the eyes of humans, you must see things a little differently. Even your
expression of mathematics is filled with these same inconsistencies. We will not
call them universal laws. We do not believe in any type of law, because
everything can be altered and that is exactly what you have done. You have taken
universal constants and you have twisted them, you have altered them slightly to
play this game. Now you are starting to see things the way they really are. Now
you are going to start to see things on a new level. You have not been able
before to see such clarity; it will be seen through all eyes on planet Earth.

The challenges you will have are the habits you have built around seeing things
in a certain way. So, the first thing we ask you to do is to keep your eyes
open. Look around, seeking the possibilities. When you do not understand
something, know that it is a potential for you to uncover another part of
yourself so you can see more than one of these eleven sides. The aspects of
yourself are coming back together so that you will be able to see the whole
being. It will take time. It is not happening overnight. For you it will seem
like it is taking forever. "When is something finally going to happen?" A
hundred years from now when you look back at this time, it will seem as if it
happened in a heartbeat. Just enjoy this magical moment, and know that you have
a new vision if you become aware and search for it. Look for the opportunities
to see yourself everywhere. Simply look and you will find Home very quickly. You
will create all eleven aspects of Home right where you are today.

Dear ones, you sit in these rooms and watch us. You come together to be filled
with spirit, and to re-member part of the true nature of who you are. What you
do not understand is that the respect and honor for each of you who play the
game of pretending to be a human is so great on this side of the veil. You are
the revered ones. You are the ones who have dared to take off your wings and
play a game of pretending to be a human. We honor you more than you could
possibly ever know. When you arrive Home, there will be one hell of a party!.

Treat each other with the greatest of respect every chance you get. Nurture one
another every time you can and play well together.
Espavo.

The group





* The group first mentioned the Universe expanding as the Breath of God Aug 2002
which I feel is even more pertinent today than it was when I channeled it.
Breath of God  http://www.lightworker.com/beacons/081502BreathofGOD.shtml
Then on Oct 15 2003 they channeled that the Out Breath had begun.
http://lightworker.com/beacons/101503OutBreath.htm  That same month Ronna
Herman http://ronnastar.com/ also released a message from AA Michael saying that
the
In Breath had just begun which was basically the same message using the opposite
application.  When I asked the group about the difference they said: "With
humans it
depends on which side you are standing at the moment you view it."

The Reciprocal Flow of Abundance
Giving Without Expectations

Since giving and receiving are so intimately intertwined in our lives, we often
expect that we can attract abundance by simply conducting ourselves in an
openhanded fashion. Yet we find ourselves wallowing in disappointment when our
ample generosity is not met with the expected results. The answer to this
quandary lies in the expectations that, in part, initially prompted us to give.
Though our intention is likely pure, we can unintentionally mar the beautiful
experience of giving by focusing on what we will eventually receive in return.
When we let go of the notion that we deserve to receive gifts based on giving
gifts, bounty can once again flow freely in and out of our lives.

When the gifts you give are laden down with expectations, they cease to be gifts
and become units of exchange that you are, in effect, trading for some reward.
Thus, the reciprocal laws of the universe err on the side of the giver who
shares for the sake of sharing. You may have seen this simple truth at work in
your own experience, perhaps when life's busyness prevented you from spending
too much time contemplating the results your charitable actions would ultimately
have on the lives of others. It was likely then that you received the greatest
gifts in return for your kindness. If you have trouble divesting yourself of
your expectations, you may need to reflect upon the root of your inability to
act in the true spirit of giving. Each time you make a gift, whether spiritual
or tangible, ask yourself if there is something you hope to receive in return.
You may be surprised to discover that you expect to be repaid with an easy life,
financial windfalls, or opportunities.

To integrate this most selfless form of generosity into your life, you will have
to let go of your need to be in control. Accepting that while like inevitably
attracts like, it typically does so on an unobservable timetable. This can help
you stop weighing the gifts you give against those you have received. Giving
eventually becomes a profound joy that stands alone, separate from any and all
conditions, and you will learn to appreciate the flow of reciprocal abundance as
a gift in and of itself.

Of the Contemporarily-Named  'Chumash' Founders

of all American Pacific Coast Cultures(?), 13,000 Years Ago ...



  see Six videos:

"Six Generations" Movie Public Screening Held last night at Santa Barbara Museum
of Natural History



                               three of the 'fanciful' notions of Chumash origins
are:

"They Crossed The Bearing Strait During The Ice Age"

"They Walked Across A Rainbow"

"They Rode Here On Whales"



for the 11,000 BC or earlier founding of the Americas, of the Chumash (and the
Olmecs?), by a Pacific People, all along the Pacific Coast of the Americas, see
the press releases by John Johnson:

13,000 Years? 20,000 Years? 33,000 Years? Oldest Native Americans are Chumash?

"In 1999, Johnson announced that human bones found 40 years earlier
at Arlington Springs on Santa Rosa Island off the Ventura County coast
were 13,000 years old, making them the oldest human remains in North
America."

Six Hundred Generations of the Chumash

also see:

During the Jomon, when these CityTemples were submerged, the Great
Wave of the Chumash and other American Peoples settled along the VERY
long Pacific Coast(?)

"Unusual submerged landforms have been found off the coast of the
Ryukyu islands in the westernmost region of Japan. These clusters of
islands were once part of a vast trading network extending between
Japan, China and Java, and maintained tributary relations with China
throughout late prehistoric time (circa 8,000 BC)."

Vibrant Energy Newsletter





Hi Friends,



It has been a real awakening to me!  Until I started this work, I had no
idea that childhood sexual abuse had been perpetrated on so many.  I have
had more clients contact me about this one cause than any other single
problem.  And the requests for help in this area have increased lately.



Recently I worked with a woman who had come to me for another reason, but as
we talked, her childhood sexual abuse came to the fore.  She had terrible
memories that robbed her of her joy, caused her to suffer terrible guilt and
kept her from being open with her husband.  I suggested to her that we try
to alleviate some of that suffering.  She was apprehensive at first, but she
was relieved to know that it wasn't necessary for her to describe the
memories and events to me.



As we began to work, I could see her countenance gradually changing and
relief coming over her.  When we had finished, she said, "I am so at peace.
I remember those events now, but I am not terrified any longer.  It's almost
as if it happened to someone else."



In the space of an hour we had corrected a lifetime of mental agony over
events she had experienced in her childhood.  All those years of suffering
had a hold on her no longer.



And that is the amazing power of this simple process.  It just removes hurt
and fear and allows you to have peace.  And it works the same way with
phobias or anxiety attacks or fears or PTSD.



Please let me assure you, if you are suffering from horrible memories of
abuse, rape, accidents or you've experienced any other reason which caused
PTSD, there is help for you.  You don't have to rake up all those horrible
events and bring them to mind.  You don't have to remember and relive them.
If you are suffering fear and terror from past memories it can be erase
without you even having to think about them.



If you are one of the people who has experienced such awful trauma, please
don't continue to struggle with it any longer.  It can be resolved and life
can be joyful and peaceful.  Freedom awaits.  Don't let the pain and terror
control your life any longer.  Let's erase this.  It will literally change
your life.




Love and blessings,



Jan




=============================================


How can that be possible?



It works because your brain controls your own body's energy and the effects
your energy has on your body.  It truly is as simple as that.  Every cell in
your body is a little powerhouse, producing energy all day long.  Your body,
I've read, creates enough energy to power a small city!  This energy, used
for good or for ill, truly does have an amazing affect on our body and our
lives.  It can ease the way or strew stones in our path.  We do it
unconsciously, but we can learn to redirect it and use it to our benefit and
towards our own goals.  It is based on the ancient Chinese system of energy
patterns throughout the body.  You just learn how to manipulate them!



So simple a child can (and has!) used it effectively.







HOW DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?



Have you struggled so long with the hurdles in your life that you've given
up?  You no longer even look for ways to make improvements?



Please don't give up hope.  Don't give in to the "Why Bother" syndrome!  You
can change your life with a simple new technique that helps you to focus
effortlessly on making the changes you want.  And frequently, these changes
can be almost instantaneous!  Doesn't that sound amazing?  Yet, in my own
experience and with my students, it happens time after time - no matter
their age or experience or their problems.  Significant, life-changing
results occur!



Why struggle day after day with the same old problem, which only causes
stress and worry -- which wrecks havoc with your heart and blood pressure,
when with just a few minutes with this technique can bring you results
beyond imagining!  WAY better and so much faster than Yoga or Hypnosis or
Acupuncture or any of the conventional therapies.  Much simpler.  Pain FREE.
Lasting results.  And, nothing additional to buy.



This new procedure involves no drugs or supplements, no counseling, no
painful rehashing of traumatic past events, no forcing yourself to "be brave
and face your fears!"

Skennen kenhak O:NEN!
Let there be Peace NOW

As One We Walk This Earth Together



As on we walk this earth together,

As one we sing to her our song,

As one we love her,

As one we heal her,

Her heart beats with our own as one.



As one we join with her, our Mother,

As one we feel her sacred song,

As one we touch her,

As one we heal her,

Her heart beats with our own as one.

Good heavens!!! Do you really believe all that Hollywood hype???? Some people
love to promote negative energies and devastation for this awesome time to come.
The shift is not about Mother making a change - she does this with hardly making
any sounds or alarms.  She is MOTHER and mothers who love their children do not
create havoc.  If anything happens at that time it will be man made you can bet
that, since we manifest what we think or believe.

The shift is in our vibrational levels -- the opening of our inner eyes to
knowledge we already know, but have long forgotten.  I'm amazed at how people
are making this a dooms day event, when it is and will be a time for rejoicing.
