&lt;br/&gt;Tharchin Rinpoche's coming to town!
&lt;br/&gt;Tharchin Rinpoche's commminnnng to towwwn! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;. . . And he is giving a large cycle of tantric transmissions and retreats this January through June, in San Francisco East Bay and at his home center in Watsonville ( down the coast from San Francisco ).
&lt;br/&gt;Tantra means magic and yoga, in this case in the definite context of Buddhist ethics and practice.  ( I provide context and substantial information on these below. )
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These tantric practices are mainly focused on the lineage of Guru Padmasambhava i.e. the Nyingma school, and lead towards or incorporate the central Awareness Yoga known as Dzogchen, the Great Perfection.  To do any of these practices, personal initiation is required.  That is why the teacher is of central importance.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For more background on the Great Perfection and Dzogchen, see the book

&lt;br/&gt;Lama Tharchin Rinpoche is a teacher of Buddhist tantra, extremely gentle and open, yet also profound and powerful.  I first began taking teachings and transmissions from him in the early 1980s.  This is one of my most favorite people on the entire planet.  Just to see him brings real gladness to one's heart, just to remember him is greatly comforting.  Please note that I do not represent him in any official sense.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I use texts and practices from his fellowship, the Vajrayana Foundation, which principally focuses on the lineage transmissions of HH Dudjom Rinpoche.  HH Dujom Rinpoche was a profound Nyingma lineage holder whose efforts were of central importance in saving major parts of the Buddhist tantra during the destruction of Buddhist Tibet by the Chinese.  HH Dudjom Rinpoche trained and authorized Lama Tharchin as a vajra master.  Lama Tharchin can train westerners to become full fledged tantric Buddhist gurus  - on a basic but functional level - in the Nyingma lineage of Guru Padmasambhava.

&lt;br/&gt;"The Friends of Lama Tharchin Rinpoche have put together this site for Lama Tharchin Rinpoche's video series. The video series is the main vehicle Rinpoche uses to disseminate his vast knowledge of Buddhist teachings. Each month Rinpoche records a 1-2 hour long video.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Anyone interested can purchase any of the past Series as an individual set, or subscribe to the Series in progress on an ongoing basis. There are also a few teachings offered as individual DVDs or DVD sets."

&lt;br/&gt;From the above site
&lt;br/&gt;"Turning the Three Wheels of Buddhadharma: Learning, Practice, and Teaching
&lt;br/&gt;Lama Tharchin Rinpoche is a Dzogchen (Great Perfection) master of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is the tenth lineage holder of the Repkong Ngakpas. This is a family lineage of yogis, or householders, and was the largest community of non-monastic practitioners in Tibet.  Rinpoche was trained in His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's monastery, engaged in five years of solitary retreat and then completed the three year retreat with three others under Dudjom Rinpoche.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"In addition to Dudjom Rinpoche, his main teachers have been Chatral Rinpoche, Lama Sherab Dorje Rinpoche, and Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche.  Rinpoche left Tibet by foot with his family in 1960. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Many of the early years of Rinpoche's life were dedicated to intensive study, practice and retreat. Mastering the many traditions of his lineage under the guidance of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche benefited countless beings through the purity of his heart and his compassionate dedication to all beings. Through many years of practice and retreat, Rinpoche developed the skills and qualities most needed to bring maximum benefit to beings in this lifetime.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;"Fulfilling the request of his teacher, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche came to the West with the intention to protect the holy Buddhadharma and to plant authentic seeds of dharma in the West. With an incredible flurry of enlightened activity, Rinpoche's blessings and accomplishments have flowed like rich wisdom nectar. Founder of the Vajrayana Foundation, Rinpoche has established the College of Tibetan Buddhist Studies (Shedra), and the three-year retreat program (Drupta). He has directed study and practice retreats, given us bountiful empowerments and pure Dzogchen teachings, and he has shown us the true nature of our own minds."

&lt;br/&gt;•Orgyen Khandro Norlha Wealth Empowerment and Teaching: January 23rd
&lt;br/&gt;Orgyen Dorje Den, Alameda,CA
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Orgyen Dorje Den
&lt;br/&gt;2244 Santa Clara Ave
&lt;br/&gt;Alameda, CA 94501

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Lama Tharchin Rinpoche has offered to give the empowerment and teachings on the Orgyen Khandro Norlha wealth practice at Orgyen Dorje Den in Alameda as a benefit for the Vajrayana Foundation. “I not only want to benefit Pema Osel Ling,” he said, “but to share this with all the sangha with my love, care and aspiration for positive results for all of us. As the whole world, and I am thinking especially of our country and sangha, are having a difficult time financially, so I would like to share Guru Rinpoche’s wisdom and compassion solution to remove obstacles; how to get success not only for short term material results but long term enlightenment."

&lt;br/&gt;•Namchak Putri (Vajrakilaya) Gutor and Losar Retreat: February 5 – 14
&lt;br/&gt;2013 Eureka Canyon Rd., Watsonville,CA 95076
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note - this is an ultimate wrathful Vajrasattva practice, commonly practiced to clear away negativity and obstacles in preparation for the Tibetan New Year, 14 February 2010. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;•Spring Retreat: April 2 - 4  
&lt;br/&gt;2013 Eureka Canyon Rd., Watsonville,CA 95076
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lama Tharchin Rinpoche to teach on Shabkar's Flight of the Garuda
&lt;br/&gt;Note - this is a primary dzogchen text.  See part of the text online at
&lt;br/&gt;http://keithdowman.net/books/fg.htm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;'Dzokchen, the Great Perfection, is the quintessence of the tantric paths to Buddhahood. This book contains the translation of four Dzokchen texts belonging to the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. These sacred revealed texts, never before freely available, provide inspiration and instruction for the Dzokchen aspirant. The Flight of the Garuda, which gives the collection its title, written by Shabkar Lama in the nineteenth century, comprises a series of twenty-three songs designed to inspire and instruct the yogin practising Dzokchen trekcho meditation. Secret Instruction in a Garland of Vision is one of three texts said to have been written by Padma Sambhava, Tibet's great Guru, himself, who visited Tibet in the eighth century. It belongs to the lam rim genre, a stage--by--stage description of the path to Buddhahood. An extract from Emptying the Depths of Hell, revealed by Guru Chowong in the thirteenth century, provides a Dzokchen confessional liturgy, and The Wish-Granting Prayer of Kuntu Zangpo, revealed by Rikdzin Godemchan in the fourteenth century as part of an extensive Dzokchen tantra, is a prayer for attainment of the Dzokchen goal.' 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This collection includes four shiningly clear and starkly beautiful Dzogchen texts. Their common denominator is the soaring freedom of the Dzogchen viewpoint as symbolised by the Garuda -- the divine eagle that is said to fly as soon as it breaks free of its egg.' Robin Cooke in The Mirror.

&lt;br/&gt;•Summer Retreat: May 22- June 21 
&lt;br/&gt;2013 Eureka Canyon Rd., Watsonville,CA 95076
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dorje Drolod: May 22 – 30    
&lt;br/&gt;Note- this is wrathful Padmasambhava guru yoga
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Throma Nagmo: June 1 – 9 
&lt;br/&gt;Note - this is a profound and comprehensive great goddess cycle of the Buddhist Kali
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Shitro Nakso: June 11– 12 
&lt;br/&gt;Collection of Seven Treasures Drupchen: June 13 – 21
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note - This is a comprehensive cycle of Great Perfection teachings, but I cannot comment on it.  The drubchen means intensive ( day and night ) practice.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;. . . And from Orgyen Dorje Den, more upcoming events
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Gutor &amp;amp; Losar coming soon, February 11th-14th, 2010
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On February 11, 12 &amp;amp; 13, we will practice Vajrasattva at the request of Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche. (Just like Vajrakilaya can be done to remove negativity from the past year, so can Vajrasattva be done to purify our negativity &amp;amp; obscurations from the last year. Same result.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ven. Lingtrul Rinpoche will preside as the Vajramaster and we will practice the sadhana of Dorsem Lama Chodpa from the Dudjom Tersar tradition.
&lt;br/&gt;There will be 3 sessions per day and all are welcome to join. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;February 14th is Losar, the New Year, according to the Lunar &amp;amp; Tibetan calendar.
&lt;br/&gt;On this day we will also practice Vajrasattva, although we will use a more concise sadhana.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche may join us and offer a Vajrasattva empowerment if he is available, in other words, if we have the merit!

      <title>what IS "wizardry"?</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/83966c55-a247-464b-9453-70df9e95369c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;what distinguishes wizardry from other things, like witchcraft, or reiki healer, or priest, or shaman, etc. In short, what is it that makes a WIZARD a wizard and not something else?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Lama Mingyur Rinpoche: tantric Buddhist teaching and empowerment tour June - August 2009 / Avalokitesvara teaching</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/2874277a-3325-4360-9466-37b5d9d985a9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note that this is not for me a primary practice, although I do a lot of energy work with mantra.  I am simply sharing with you a primary wisdom energy formula, so it is very relevant, whether or not you can see this teacher on any of his many tour dates.  The other references will still be of real value.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Acarya KT 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lama Mingyur Rinpoche: tantric Buddhist teaching and empowerment tour June - August 2009 / Avalokitesvara teaching 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keywords : meditation practice ( tantra devayoga sadhana ), Mahayana Buddhist transmission, mantra yoga, Heart Sutra, Karma Kagyu lineage of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, 2009 Tour, Portland, deity of "Liberating Compassion" Avalokitesvara empowerment ( a.k.a. Kuan Yin, Kannon, Chenresig etc. ).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Summary: His Eminence Yongey Mingyur will be giving a tantric Buddhist empowerment ( highest yoga tantra ) for Avalokitesvara in Portland this June 19, and later, other cities as well.  This major tantric guru of the Karma Kagyu lineage is on international tour through August.  Background references and a key book reference are provided.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; " If we try too hard, meditation becomes difficult. But it is so easy... Meditation is resting in our own natural awareness. "
&lt;br/&gt;       His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Dorje Rinpoche 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a younger yet also major teacher in the Indo-Tibetan tradition of vajrayana and tantra, specifically as a retreat master in the Karma Kagyu lineage.  He is the son of the great Nyingma master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and his main residence is Sherab Ling, the seat of His Holiness Khentin Tai Situpa, a principal Kagyu guru.
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.mingyur.org/biography/index.html  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Although quite young, HE Yongey Mingyur is an accomplished master of both the Great Seal ( Mahamudra ) and Great Perfection ( Dzogchen ) traditions of pure awareness yoga.  I have received from His Eminence both the Tsik Sum Ne Dek ( Great Perfection Breakthrough ) and Karma Pakshi Great Seal guru yoga empowerments some years back, and both transmissions were quite powerful. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;His Eminence is also establishing fellowships in North America ( e.g. San Jose CA and Phoenix AZ ) and participating in western scientific studies on mind science.  He is the author of two well received books on meditation, including the recently released "Joyful Wisdom - Embracing Change and Finding Freedom".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This young teacher is clearly one of the most important of the new generation of tantric Buddhist gurus teaching in the West, in terms of the quality and quantity of his teaching work, and the deep and broad impact he is beginning to have.  ( See "Yongey Foundation Links" at http://www.mingyur.org/links.html ). 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This year he teaches coast to coast and also in Brazil.  For information on the North American Tour continuing through August, see
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.mingyur.org/schedule.html  
&lt;br/&gt;	   
&lt;br/&gt;The main event of the Portland visit is a major empowerment for the meditation deity Avalokitesvara. See
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalokitesvara
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and many book titles and other resources from Snow Lion Publications. See
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.snowlionpub.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and the Kagyu bookstore for the Karma Kagyu lineage seat in North America at Woodstock New York:
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.namsebangdzo.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Avalokitesvara is a primary and pre-eminent deity and practice for Buddhists worldwide.  Avalokitesvara is the renowned deity of "Liberating Compassion", known in many parts of the Far East as Kuan Yin ( China ), Kwannon ( Japan ), Kwan Seeum ( Korea ), Kwan Theum Botat ( Viet Nam ), etc.  This is a major practice for both general Mahayana ( Great Way ) Buddhists and also for esoteric / yogic  ( tantric ) Buddhists, and thus unites and helps all schools of Buddhist practice in many different cultural contexts, both Asian and Western. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a most well known and quite universally practised pagan / polytheistic deity yoga of Sanskrit origin, Hindu or Buddhist. For example, it has become incorporated into some Hindu practice lineages, such as that of Swami Nikhilesvarananda.  It is very similar to or overlaps the practice of Blue Throated Siva, as shown in one of the mantras for Blue Throated Avalokitesvara. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The influence of Avalokitesvara is vast throughout the world, and in different Buddhist lineages. Several of my teachers are considered to be emanations of Avalokitesvara including ( the late ) HE Deshung Tulku Rinpoche ( Sakya ), HH the Seventeenth Karmapa Urgyen Trinley Dorje and the Karmapa lineage, HH the Dalai Lama and the Dalai Lama lineage, and so forth.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;His Eminence Dzongsar Rinpoche ( Sakya and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism ), who teaches worldwide, has stated that Avalokitesvara is the most broadly and most commonly practised of all Buddhist mantras worldwide. This is consistent with my experience in Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan, and Vietnamese traditions. Apparently there is a book on Avalokita practice in the Sri Lankan traditions, which are mostly Theravadin Buddhist.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The esoteric yoga traditions of Buddhist tantra are based on ritual empowerment and the practice of self-empowerment, and these include placing points of light at the Brow Cakra ( White Light ), Throat Cakra ( Red Light ), and Heart Cakra ( Blue Light ). Some forms of Avalokitesvara practice include a full kundalini yoga / psychic heat method, known in the Buddhist tradition as Completion Stage Yoga.  N.B. One important example is the transmission of Red Avalokita / Vajrayogini.  However, I do not know what form of Avalokita is being given by HE Mingyur Rinpoche.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Avalokitesvara is without doubt the most well known Buddhist ( or other ) esoteric spiritual practice in the West ( either as "OM MANI PADME HUM" or as the "Heart Sutra" or as other variants, see below ).
&lt;br/&gt;Many tens of millions of Buddhists recite daily either a Sanksrit formula for Avalokitesvara or a meditation text associated with this deity, as in (1) and (2) following.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1) One of the root mantras ( esoteric invocations or evocations ) of Avalokitesvara is 
&lt;br/&gt;"OM MANI PADMA HUM", which is discussed at
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_mani_padme_hum  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2) Avalokitesvara is the source of the primary Buddhist text Prajna Paramita Hrdaya, the Heart or Essence of Transcendent Wisdom, which is recited daily in many Buddhist countries, such as in the Chinese and Japanese Zen traditions. See
&lt;br/&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sutra
&lt;br/&gt;This is a primary and central and definitive text for many of the Mahayana Buddhist schools, both outer and inner. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A good source of teaching on Avalokitesvara in the East Asian tradition is
&lt;br/&gt;"Bodhisattva of Compassion: The Mystical Tradition of Kuan Yin"
&lt;br/&gt;by John Blofeld.
&lt;br/&gt;The Sanskrit recitation of Kuan Yin / Avalokitesvara is one of the main esoteric healing practices in Chinese Buddhism.  Of course, I can make no claims for any specific application.  I do know that it is traditionally used by the Chinese for easing the pains of childbirth.

&lt;br/&gt;There is also

&lt;br/&gt;by Alexander Studholme, Ph.D.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here comes the Sun.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sanskrit mantras for Sun ( Surya ) and Moon ( Chandra ) from the Vedic traditions of Sanatana Dharma ( Hindu culture ), and a related mantra from Vedacarya David Frawley. Plus some George Harrison.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sun and moon worship are very ancient and universal pagan practices.  I personally have really missed the sun for many months due to a winter that extended through early April.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We all share the same sun over the same earth. Let's celebrate the healing strength of the natural elements.  All Our Relations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May the Circle Be Open And Unbroken!

&lt;br/&gt;9. Surya Gayatri: Worship with this mantra is very beneficial for curing grievous diseases.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Divakaraya Dhimahi
&lt;br/&gt;Tanno Suryah Prachodayat
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;10. Chandra Gayatri: For the removal of suffering and to get peace from dejection and worries, this mantra has been used for the worship of this Divine Shakti.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Om Shirputraya Vidmahe
&lt;br/&gt;Amrit Tatvaya Dhimahi

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Surya Namaskara, or the "Sun salutation"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A well-known Hindu mode of worship of the devotional movements of Surya is done at the rising of the Sun, known as Surya namaskara (Sun Salutation). Ten yogic postures are assumed in successive flowing movements to complete one namaskar. Twelve sacred Hindu mantras uttered and for each mantra one complete namaskar is done. Ancient practice is to do 108 namaskaras a day. It is considered most auspicious by Hindus to do this.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 12 mantras for surya namaskara:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   1. aum mitraya namah
&lt;br/&gt;   2. aum ravayé namah
&lt;br/&gt;   3. aum suryaya namah
&lt;br/&gt;   4. aum bhanavé namah
&lt;br/&gt;   5. aum khagaya namah
&lt;br/&gt;   6. aum pushné namah
&lt;br/&gt;   7. aum hiranyagarbhaya namah
&lt;br/&gt;   8. aum marichayé namah
&lt;br/&gt;   9. aum adityaya namah
&lt;br/&gt;  10. aum savitré namah
&lt;br/&gt;  11. aum arkaya namah
&lt;br/&gt;  12. aum bhaskaraya namah

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Om adityaya namaha
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These four separate mantras can be repeated at least 108 times a week. Best on Sunday, the day of The Sun, during the day.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Om somaya namaha
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light
&lt;br/&gt;By David Frawley 
&lt;br/&gt;From American Institute of Vedic Studies
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.vedanet.com/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Above is the Mantra to the Supreme Light, Param Jyoti Mantra, which is a famous Vedic, Vedantic and Tantric Mantra. We could also spell it phonetically as OM HREEM HAMSA SO HAM SWAHA! This mantra brings us into the Divine or inner light and causes it to resonate in our body, breath, speech and mind.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra for the Supreme Light is the main mantra for the American Institute of Vedic Studies. We recommend all our friends and students to chant it regularly. We initiate individuals into this mantra and its many variants. It is the core form of an entire set of mantras of which there are several dozen versions that can be used for many different purposes. We also use this mantra along with other important mantras like the famous Tantric Panchadashi Mantra to Tripura Sundari.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This Mantra to the Supreme Light is first a Vedantic mantra. Om is the Supreme Brahman. Hrim is the mantra of the spiritual heart. Hamsah is the mantra of the liberated soul. So'ham means "I am He", meaning the Supreme Being. Swaha indicates consecration into the light. The mantra can be used along with meditation to realize the Self within.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light is a Tantric mantra. Om is the Supreme Shiva. Hrim is the the Supreme Shakti. Hamsa So'ham is the unification of Shiva and Shakti in our breath and consciousness. Swaha indicates consecration into the light. This mantra can be used along with the worship of the Goddess to bring her presence into our hearts.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light is a Yoga mantra. Om is the supreme guru. Hrim is the light of the awakened Kundalini. Hamsa So'ham is the balancing of the Sun and Moon, or solar and lunar forces, the Ida and Pingala Nadis. Swaha indicates consecration into the light. The mantra can be used along with pranayama to empower the breath and open the chakras.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light is an Ayurvedic mantra. Om is the cosmic prana. Hrim is the health giving power of the spirit heart. Hamsa So'ham is the power of the breath to give vitality and promote rejuvenation. Swaha indicates consecration into the light. The mantra can be used to bring the cosmic prana into us for healing purposes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light is an astrological mantra. Om is the mantra of the cosmic light. Hrim is a mantra for the Sun. Hamsa So'ham is the energy of the Sun as the power of life and consciousness. Swaha indicates consecration into the light. The mantra can be used to propitiate weak planets in the Vedic birth chart, starting with the Sun.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Mantra to the Supreme Light is an important mantra for usage at the winter solstice, the equinoxes and summer solstices for the worship of the Sun. With the mantra Shrim (Shreem) instead of Hrim, it can be used at the new, half and full Moons, for the worship of the Moon and the Goddess.

&lt;br/&gt;And here is a Buddhist Sun Goddess mantra, from the oral ( lineage holder ) tradition, which I received in 1983:

      <title>tantric Buddhist  empowerments  this December in Vancouver BC - teaching references given</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/de8cb0cf-9b6d-46ca-86e2-13c1d7f6af9f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keywords : tantric Buddhist empowerment, major empowerment cycle in highest yoga tantra and mahamudra, Sakya lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, Sakya Tsechen Thubten Ling and Her Eminence Jetsun Kusho.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OM SVASTI.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This December 2008 a major tantric empowerment cycle of the New School / Mahamudra lineage of vajrayana will be given in Vancouver British Columbia. These are the "Thirteen Golden Dharmas of Sakya", a comprehensive set of transmissions central to the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism, to be bestowed by Her Eminence Jetsun Kusho at Sakya Tsechen Thubten Ling, her tantric practice center. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Her Eminence Jetsun Chimey Luding, or HE Jetsun Kusho, is a leading female teacher of tibetan buddhism living in the West. Jetsunma is one of three women in the history of Tibet to have given the Lamdre ("path and its fruition") teachings, the special system of contemplative and meditative practice of the Sakya order. Thus, she is a thoroughly trained lineage holder.
&lt;br/&gt;HE Jetsun Chimey Luding is the Resident Spiritual Director of the Sakya Tsechen Thubten Ling Center in Vancouver, Canada."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Translation from Tibetan will be by the eminent translator and Sakya scholar Jay Goldberg.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dates:
&lt;br/&gt;December 20th through December 26th 2008
&lt;br/&gt;( see schedule below ).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Location:
&lt;br/&gt;Sakya Tsechen Thubten Ling (STTL)
&lt;br/&gt;9471 Beckwith Road
&lt;br/&gt;Richmond, BC Canada V6X 1V8
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Contacts and references:
&lt;br/&gt;Tel: 604-275-5506
&lt;br/&gt;email: sakyatsechenthubtenling@shaw.ca
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.sakya.thinkbig.ca/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Discussion:
&lt;br/&gt;Her Eminence is a remarkably good teacher. I have three Vajrayogini empowerments from her. She is a primary lineage holder of the Sakya school, and considered a manifestation of the Great Goddess Vajrayogini herself.  Vajrayogini is a central and highest practice of all the New Schools of Tibetan Buddhism, up through and including the Mahamudra teaching of primordial pure awareness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is not possible to practice these teachings without empowerment from a qualified lineage holder.  Empowerment will include vows of basic Buddhist ethics ( the Ten Precepts ) and sacred vows of Mahayana / Great Way - Universal Service.  Buddhist refuge and Mahayana vows are an integral part of every single tantric Buddhist empowerment, as is a commitment to some continuing meditative practice, typically involving mantra recitation. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mantra means Sanskrit recitation of the names and activities of transcendent beings, i.e. Buddhist angels, in the context of ritual magic and yogic discipline.  The purpose of these practices is primarily to develop the transcendent Wisdom, Compassion and Power ( jnana, karuna, bala ) of the fully realized Buddhas, and thereby to become capable of serving the highest good in all humanity from an inner elevated spiritual level.  The path includes relative benefits such as inner healing and so forth, but no claims can be made regarding any one practice for any one practitioner. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Buddhist tantra, while a clear and formal spiritual discipline, is a culturally open and flexible path.  This empowerment cycle will include a Hindu goddess ( Tinuma / Parvati ) and a Buddhist form of a primary Hindu deity, Avalokitesvara as Ganapati. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note that I do not in any office represent this teacher or fellowship, and that arrangements may change.  Please contact and preregister for all events, and be sure to show up quite a bit early, freshly washed and so forth. When the doors close they close.  Space may well be quite limited.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note also the prerequisite empowerment - either Sakya Hevajra ( included at the beginning of this series ) or Sakya Cakrasamvara.  There are no substitutions though other lineages of these transmissions.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May the lineage of Her Eminence Jetsun Kusho flourish long, and may these teachings greatly benefit many.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sarva mangalam!  Siddhi rastu!
&lt;br/&gt;May All Benefit!  May there be accomplishment!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Written in partial fulfillment of my vajrayana teaching vows, and with great respect for this teacher and lineage.

&lt;br/&gt;MAHAMUDRA: The Natural Mind DVD

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;7.5 hour, 4-DVD set.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;#MANADV - $ 48.00
&lt;br/&gt;Mahamudra is the natural state of the mind: luminous, spacious, unhindered and free from dualistic concepts. In these talks, Mingyur Rinpoche provides a brilliant, engaging and accessible introduction to the practice of Mahamudra. With joy, humor and examples that are easily understandable by Western students, Rinpoche explains the meaning of Mahamudra and reveals how it is that our failure to recognize our nature of mind causes us to suffer. He provides extensive practice instructions on objectless meditation and meditation with a variety of supports including mantra, visual objects, sound, thoughts and emotions. In the fourth talk, Rinpoche presents an especially extensive and beneficial teaching on using pain as a support for meditation. For each practice he guides students through a practice session and answers students' questions about the practice. This teaching includes an extremely accessible explanation of Buddha-nature and emptiness.

      <title>Dear Energy Wizards, Witches &amp;amp; Magicians - I HUMBLY ASK YOUR HELP - Maya Calendar 2009</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/854c81b9-9349-4d4b-be8d-a6d8a004e260</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear YOU!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I humbly ask for your patience &amp;amp; willingness to read this message in full!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Stacy James Fry. - With great humility I have been called to ask for your help. -  After 13 years of academic and alternative study on the Maya civilization, I have been inspired to write a novel detailing the particulars of the collapse of the Maya in the 9th century. It is clear to me now the Maya experienced a sequence of events leading to the collapse of their civilization, events that are being repeated today on a much grander scale. My novel titled "The Mystic of the Maya" is a parable, a call to all who will read it to exercise the highest teachings made available to mankind through the teachers of the ages including Eckhart Tolle, SN. Goenka, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Ghandi, Krishnamurti, Paramhansa Yogananda, and many more. The essence of their teachings are embedded into the narrative of the novel and wrapped in fiction provide a passive medium for these messages to reach the masses http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As you can imagine the writing of this novel is a great undertaking that requires 100% focused attention and free-time to complete. To support the completion of this vision I have invested all my resources and creativity into the creation and printing of 1000 copies of a Mayan/Gregorian calendar for 2009. These calendars feature photographs of Mayan ruins taken by me and each calendar is humbly equipped with the ancient Tzolkin 13:20 time sequence, and the Gregorian calendar. I have incorporated the Tzolkin with the Gregorian calendar as a gentle reminder to mend our unconscious conflict as products of the Greece and Roman Empires, and our role as invaders of the Americas. http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Purchase of any number of Calendars and give them to yourself, to your family and friends as a reminder that we ALL have the power within us to divert our minds into the harmony and peace available to us at all times. I know many of you will feel challenged by my request, by the fear of lack in your lives. This is another opportunity to face your fear and use this purchase as a conscious catalyst for renewed, or augmented prosperity and a sense of wealth in your own life. People are all each others true wealth and abundance! http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This calendar is a gift from my soul to you. I thank you from the deep hearts core for your kindness and sincere efforts in this regard. If you simply can not purchase a calendar you CAN pass this message on to all your family, friends and the members of your Tribes, your Facebook friends and and any where you connect with people. BREATH naturally the peace and prosperity available to us now. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To All My Relations!
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste - Peace Be With You  
&lt;br/&gt;Source &amp;amp; Synchronicity within!

      <title>Is Wizard Breathing over-rated?</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/21a7c2bb-c954-4485-87fa-fefa4178ce7a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Breathing to the belly seems like a very simple detail.  Also, I don't think breathing to the chest is shallow, because a heart is there.  I find that it seems to be a tradition of seperating the mind from the body.  I don't like this idea, but my mind dosen't want to give up.  I decided that the mind and body as one thing is a better wizard, as well as quicker instincts and even memory.  Is there any books you could reccomend that has touched on the subject?  Is my idea in defiance of Wizardry?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
&lt;br/&gt;Technological advancements have been used to empower your military forces and not for the general good of Mankind. Now we take up the role of bringing into being far ranging world changes, that shall bring you all that has previously been denied you. The waste and misuse of your money and resources has taken place on a massive scale, when it could have been used for the general good of all people. The ever present problems of starvation and need for just the basic tools for survival could have easily been overcome, and these are all areas that we shall address very quickly. However, that cannot commence until we can openly meet with those who are to be appointed to carry you into the New Age. One most important factor will be the need to keep you informed of what is happening, and we are well equipped to do it. You can then participate with us, and in this way we shall soon gain your full approval and confidence.

      <title>Important Alert for Los Angeles and the Pacific Rim</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/39eeb894-7119-4867-a085-820a6eddcf26</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear Readers of Abundanthope.  It is looking highly possible that Mother is not going to wait on the LA area, and it may well go into the sea sometime this month. I need all of you to circulate this about on other forums and to those you know who could be affected. The following is for readers NOT familiar with AbundantHope.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hello dear readers not familiar with AbundantHope. I am the creator of this Organization and it is an international team in service of the Second Coming Process.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Los Angeles basin is NOT over land. It is over ocean. This area is sitting on a “shelf.” The danger in this is that the area, as you well know, is a massive area of faults and also there is huge cavern system under this basin. The United States government knows about it, and the Navy back in the 1970’s explored these by submarine and actually covered this in a small magazine that is not available on the Internet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This area is going to go into the sea, and it will be catastrophic for the entire pacific rim, from the resultant Tsunami’s and other earthquakes that will manifest from this. It is possible some other quakes will manifest first, setting up this event. The LA area is simply going to crumble. It will fall approximately 100 feet. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The area involved is bounded directly on the north side of LA, along the Raymond Fault line on over to the San Andreas fault, which forms the western boundary. The southern boundary is across the Baja, approximately at the Colorado River outlet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now there is a solution to this, do not shut up this piece and refuse to read it at this point.The reason is that you in the affected areas are going to be evacuated by Star Fleet, all of you who choose to do so. It is your personal choice and there will be no force.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some of you have heard of Ashtar Command. This is a large command with the specialty of evacuating people from a planet in big trouble. This is always done in the case of impending pole reversal or impending nuclear catastrophe. Neither is going to occur in this situation. The poles are not going to reverse and star fleet for a few years now disables every single nuclear bomb that black ops tries to use, everywhere of the planet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What you are looking at is a regional rather than a planetary evacuation. The government of the USA was approached strongly years ago, that this would be impending and they must begin preparations. All they did was dig nice little holes for themselves to survive the changes, caring not at all about the rest of us. Did you know both China and Russia can house their entire populations underground in case of catastrophic problems? They are the only countries that have done so, for the people. Many others have built facilities for the elite.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ashtar Command came  in the 1950’s after the planet was stabilized to prevent a pole reversal by other ships which came for that purpose after WW2.  Those of you familiar with Revelations have read about the Holy City, the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. Dear ones, that is the Ashtar Command, command ship!!!!! It was known way back then of this possibility, and the Roman church knows that. And we aren’t going to build a “new heaven and a new earth”, because a new heaven is NOT needed, the “old one” is just fine. We will build a heavenly condition upon this new earth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The New Jerusalem is huge, so it doesn’t land. It has aboard it, in a massive computer system, the soul records of every single souled being on this planet, and it can find you from these records. It’s “commander” is Ashtar, a very old and experienced being. His large team is highly skilled in totally serving the needs of people that are evacuated, and although only the necessary of people along the pacific rim will be evacuated, this command is capable of evacuating every ensouled person on this planet in 15 minutes time, in the case of a nuclear holocaust. Nuclear detonation harms soul matrix.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, lets get to the details. Once the geophysicists of the command have determined this event is imminent, it will begin the evacuation of the LA area first. Imminent will mean about 2-3 days before it will occur. You will be evacuated via small shuttle craft up to around 200-300 feet in diameter. Only a few of these might actually land. They will hover over the areas to be evacuated about 20 – 100 feet in the air. We will hope to have media assistance in this, but it is highly unlikely.  There will be great numbers of craft and obviously this will occur in the daytime.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Each craft will put down a beam of visible light, and you board the craft by stepping into the light. You will rise into the craft much more comfortably than an elevator ride. I know. I have done it. There will be ones in great fear of this because of the horrible alien stories on this planet. Assist them as you can, but dear ones, if they refuse, you must go ahead yourself. Evacuations are never complete for this reason. Some people will not board craft, even under better circumstances and preparation. It does no good to pick them against their will, and God doesn’t do that in these situations. These ones will die of their fear, and this just causes more fear.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You do not pack anything. You maybe allowed to take pets, and you will know on this. There is planned quite adequate time, unless something is unforeseen. After you are evacuated perhaps the media will agree to cover it for the others. We do not know if there will be cooperation. Star fleet has everything you need. After the shuttle craft picks you up, you will be taken to a large mother ship or evacuation craft. The largest of these crafts for evacuation purposes are 8000 MILES long and carry millions of people. One of these larger craft can handle all the people in the LA basin if necessary, as an example.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Once aboard your evacuation craft or mother ship, there are a great deal of highly trained “social workers” and medical personnel. Some of you will be ill from the experience of the light beam. Which brings me a memory of another issue. I have talked about ascension syndrome. Your bodies, in preparation for this, have been subjected to special energy beams, both through the sun, from mother ships and in concert with your guardian angels to prepare your bodies for this beam.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The illness, should you have it is quite temporary and much like a nasty case of the flu. And star fleet has so much better treatment for this than earth doctors. The ships have a higher energy vibration  than the earth, but the earth’s energy has been raised to help prepare people for the additional coming changes. This preparation is the source of many of your symptoms and that includes ear tones, the occasional nausea and aches, pains and fatigue. Those people suffering extreme fear will be put in a special sleep state, until everything is under control, so they don’t generate chaos. Those of you with intact emotions will be asked to assist.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Again, do not pack, you need bring nothing. There is Not time for this. You will be completely provided for and dear ones, the food is going to be a lot better for your health. In a way, you will be spending time in a health spa!!!!!  And the bathrooms are very fine, no flushing toilets and waste. Your waste is instantly “evaporated” after it leaves your body. After everything is calm and stable you will be united with any family members should you have became separated. Do not worry if you are working in a tall building, there are plans for evacuation of those.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This MAY not manifest this month, but it is going to manifest and it is highly likely it well in the next few weeks. Since many of you may not  aware of my website, there is another plan in place. Jupiter is going to become our new second small sun, all part of the ascension process. This will be dramatic, and before it does, the earth is going to be put into a state called stasis, which is sort of like pausing the button on the DVD player.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There will be some movement of earths axis during this time and there will be significant destruction and too much for man to handle. We tried a preparation plan for that but again, the governments of the world only thought about themselves. It was hoped that LA would wait until this time of stasis and Jupiter, but Mother Earth seems to not be waiting. There is still some large scale details being worked out, and if Mother Earth is not going to wait, this will actually be a huge learning for the planet, and assist people to understand what happened when we come out of the stasis. The stasis period will last for months and it is not the purpose of this piece to detail that at this time. This piece is for you, on the Pacific Rim.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, after LA is evacuated, the process moves to the rest of the western coasts of North and South America that will be affected by tsunami. Dear ones, board the craft, because tsunami’s will be up to 1000 feet high, possibly even more. You are not going to survive this, except through this evacuation. Then the evacuation will continue on to the islands at risk in the Pacific Ocean and then on to the Asian rim, the areas covered based on the expected results of the wave action.  You in LA must be evacuated before the ground begins to give way. It was already planned to evacuate you during stasis, and then sink LA so this would not rear it’s ugly head after the awakening of the planet, should the Jupiter event have not sunk it. This is a GIFT dear ones, please take of it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now there are many options once you are aboard. Many of you will be offered the opportunity to migrate to other planets with open willing arms to receive you. Some of you may return to the surface, after the stasis, not before, and could live with relatives, or occupy the underground areas. You will never return back home, as the destruction will be beyond repair, and LA will not rise back up from the sea. It may very well be possible to return back somewhat inland after the damage. But you will spend months on ship if you are to return to the planet. This must come after stasis is over, and the surface is ready for your return.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In the case of total planetary destruction, every one goes to other planets. Space travel is quite rapid. There are ships with capability to reach the closest star in Pleiades in 10 short minutes. Go back and review what you learned from the Star Trek films. Dear ones, in Nebadon our universe alone, there are 3.8 million planets with life evolving in various stages on them, and many are much older than planet earth and marvelous places to dwell. ]
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Before I began my incarnations here in service 400 years ago, I spent time readjusting to planetary life, having lived on the architectural spheres of “heaven.”  Urantia Book readers, you know what I mean by that!!!!  I spent some time on a wonderful planet called Myrua, an 8th dimensional world and very advanced in light and life. This planet encircles the sun called Merope of the Seven Sisters, and during the stasis I will go back for a brief homecoming.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have nothing to fear, and a great adventure ahead!!!!!  In fact, once aboard, some of you are going to have some old soul memories come back, and will remember of this. All physical people travel the universe in star ships and so do most angels, dear ones. And you will meet angels aboard ship, these are master caretakers. They do not however have “wings”.  The craft picking you up are Pleiadian craft and all will have human body type staff upon them. But note, this is Not the only body type in the universe!!!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Only a few very advanced spirits can travel without a ship of some sort. There are some that can manufacture their own ship by mind alone if needed. There are folks in our skies who will manifest a ship, if you need to see a ship. But the vast majority travel by ship.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I ask that all of you circulate this, even at the risk of laughter or put downs. Please place this alert on other boards you may belong too. In doing so, you will hopefully increase the number of people who will choose to board the craft. Even if rejected now, when the time comes, they are going to remember seeing it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please go out on a clear night and find those “stars” with the pretty flashing strobe lights! They have been in our skies for more than 50 years but few have noticed them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am placing two links here. The first is of pictures taken of evacuation ships stationed out by Saturn’s rings. It comes from the Italian Nexus magazine, but I did place a very poor Babel Fish English translation into the post. http://abundanthope.net/pages/article_1110.shtml
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This link is our latest piece done with Commander Soltec, the head geophysicist of Ashtar Command. The piece is with another on my team named Jess. It is a little updating summary and not thorough, but you should read it.
&lt;br/&gt;http://abundanthope.net/pages/article_1631.shtml
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If Mother does not cause this outcome in the next few weeks, once the preparations are fully ready for the stasis and the Jupiter event, you will find yourself aboard ship anyway, as you would be evacuated during your “sleep state” of stasis. The final determination of all of this  regards the timing ,rests  with the decision of Christ Michael, Creator Son and thus God of Nebadon, who visited this planet 2000 years ago. I am writing this on his commission tonight. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Take care, I AM Candace, CEO and President of AbundantHope, in partnership with Sananda Immanuel Esu and Christ Michael. This is an international team, and it will serve for those projected 1000 future years of the Golden age we will build upon this planet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As often said in Star Trek, something to the affect of “Go Forth and Prosper Well.”
&lt;br/&gt;

      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/4b561368-2d9b-4529-9230-6806c33a6301</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;like HATE, or LOVE or LUST or whatever? is it good and/or evil in and of itself? IS hate self destructive? what about anger? theres healthy anger and theres unhealthy anger, but how does one know the difference and what does one DO with it to express these emotions to make them constructive?  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Please help me with a love spell</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/441851d6-e7df-41a1-96bf-756139e2e302</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Greetings to all, and hope everyone is okay. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know this may sound unethical and it may not be good to do a love spell and people on this group may not approve, but I really love my partner and he takes care of me very well. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Recently I lost my mother and I was very low but was happy to have my boyfriend. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He was going through a bad time and went of with women and had sex with them. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He told me to help him to be a good person, and that he cannot help himself. He said he would do anything to turn back the time and he wants to be faithful and true to me. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He really is a good person. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I beg of you to provide me with a effective love spell for my boyfriend to return to me. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sophia

      <title>Conspiracy History compilation DVDs torrents</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/199d8631-ef25-46b9-8f63-4070fed9e622</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;**************************************************
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Greetings to all my relations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is the last step of our project History Watch. If History is
&lt;br/&gt;defined and known by the texts, we can now add to this definition the
&lt;br/&gt;recorded events of the filmed archives. Animated images are harder to
&lt;br/&gt;deny than printed words. Our objective is to spread out freely some of
&lt;br/&gt;the little broadcast, even hidden informations about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We put online a collection of 391 documentaries and other selected and
&lt;br/&gt;recut videos, to offer to a wide public the best of the infos
&lt;br/&gt;available on the net in english and in french. If you are interested,
&lt;br/&gt;you have the time, the right equipment and connection, all you have to
&lt;br/&gt;do is open the joint document and decompress it if needed (but normaly
&lt;br/&gt;your system should do it automaticaly). You'll find therein nine links
&lt;br/&gt;that will open the torrents for the nine DVDs we compiled (around 4.6
&lt;br/&gt;Gig each, for a total of a little over 41 G, being over 100 hours of
&lt;br/&gt;videos).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Otherwise, you can go directly to btjunkie.com and search for these titles.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Secret services - cover up - covert ops
&lt;br/&gt;Secret weapons - UFO
&lt;br/&gt;Terrorism Theories propaganda
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Torrents are a system of peer to peer data transfer. The more people
&lt;br/&gt;download a torrent, the faster it spreads and the longer it stays on
&lt;br/&gt;the net. If you don't have a bittorrent software, we suggest that you
&lt;br/&gt;download uTorrent on utorrent.com. If you want to participate in
&lt;br/&gt;facilitating the diffusion of these infos about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History, download these torrents on as many computers as possible,
&lt;br/&gt;whether it is in cybercafes. It takes one or two minutes to open up
&lt;br/&gt;the links and the downloading will keep proceeding on its own.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please spread this out, take part in this action for social education
&lt;br/&gt;on a planetary scale. Thanks.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I was blessed to find this wonderful journey - it is a guided visualization that you can go on to activate, realise, and integrate your highest potentiality for service in the universe. It is a truly divine journey, and since someone turned me onto it, I want to turn others onto it. I highyl recommend it. Here's the link:

      <title>DECLARATION OF WORLD CITIZENSHIP</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/d817ba6d-f386-42d4-82f0-0363b858f014</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;We must be proactive intenders in the formation of the new world our divine hearts are dreaming - when we create the space for truth, freedom, and light to come in, they come in. When we get out of the way and create space for a new world, we allow it to happen. Through our conscious intention we can create this space. In order to create the space and further the intention of global unity and oneness, I have written the DECLARATION OF WORLD CITIZENSHIP - please look at it! This is important!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Due to the fear and negative energies that are all around us due to the chaos of those who do not recognize what is happening with the energy fluctuations. There is more to it than any of us humans can possibly comprehend....however, it is always good to trust in the Love and the positive to raise your vibrational level so that fear no longer controls you or has power over you.....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If it resonates with you then it was meant for you...if not then it was not....

      <title>Chakra Journey with Essential Oils~Denver</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/c14d2db8-4765-4605-a8fb-49e6cadda20d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Just over a year ago, my Guides encouraged me to blend several of my practices to create this meditation to acknowledge the source of blockages in my chakras and shift my perception by holding back the veil....so to speak. 
&lt;br/&gt;Particular essential oils immediately effect the limbic system in our brain and can reach areas where toxins are stored from emotional traumas we have experienced in the past. By traveling to "receptors" that can only be reached through our olfactory sense, essential oils are a pathway to healing ourselves. 
&lt;br/&gt;Several years ago I began channeling aromatic blends at the encouragement of life circumstances and the ethers. Not every scenario that calls for essential oils is indexed in books...and we all do afterall, respond to things differently. 
&lt;br/&gt;My passion is to make custom blends for individuals...but several years ago a dear friend asked for me to develope a chakra set to be used for Reiki...and so this series was created. 
&lt;br/&gt;I was simutaneously involved with an apprenticeship in the Tarot...And when I was able to acknowledge I had a blockage in my throat, I asked for guidance and the meditation came to be. 
&lt;br/&gt;These are individual journeys...the scents themselves will open things up to you...I am here to guide you and support you through the process. 
&lt;br/&gt;For the next few months I will be doing sessions for donations in exchange of gathering individual imput about the journey.
&lt;br/&gt;If you are interested in participating in one of these sessions with small groups of people please contact me.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Tune in and link up energetically with Mt. Zion - the site of the Last Supper &amp;amp; supposedly where the Virgin Mary died. Enjoy the transcript of the work recently conducted In Egypt, Israel and Jordan with Michelle and her group on the 13th of September 2007 Lady Mary Magdalene Channeled through Michelle Eloff© www.TheLightweaver.org , Johannesburg, RSA13 September 2007 Live-Time Planetary Grid Activation - Mt. Zion

&lt;br/&gt;*This information may be shared with other sources on strict conditions that no information is altered or deleted or used for monetary gain, and the source of the information be acknowledged. Transcribed by Judith Muller *Please note that reading this information will have an effect on you. *You will be energetically linked with the Channeling Being and a similar process facilitated within you. It is not exactly the same as being in the presence of the channeling Master, however the effects are just as powerful. *Do not concern yourself regarding time lines given to the participants in the channeling. *You will be taken through a similar one in accordance with your Divine Plan, Timing &amp;amp; Purpose. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ACTIVATION INFORMATION STARTS HERE: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am Mary Magdalene, greetings and welcome to all of you today. I stand within the presence of the Divine Violet and Golden flames of the Golden Age. These flames have manifested within your presence and within your being serving as gateways into the Divine worlds of reunion with the Light. All of you, as I am sure you already know, are *Divine aspects of the Gold and Violet flames of our cosmic parents*. These flames are the ones that burn brightly inside of you, fueling your inspiration and driving you to move forward and continue gaining power over that which creates the perception of limitation and fear. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The activation we are conducting with all of you today is one that will *challenge your belief systems* on a very deep level. The reason why I tell you this is because you are ready to embrace *a different level of quantum perception*. There are influences that you are affected by that are deliberately programmed into your environment so as to distract you. Some of you have been sensing the presence of this deliberate distraction. You have felt the uneasiness of something not being quite comfortable. This is *already your physical confirmation* that you have moved beyond many of the levels of density that keep humanity's perception in the lower vibrations of conscious perception. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What I am about to tell you may stretch your imagination and most importantly it will stretch your mind. Your mind needs this exercise because it has become rigid in its ability to move beyond the parameters set in place by the old paradigms that keep you locked in an attitude that feeds your belief systems and current perceptions of life. I am not here to feed any conspiracy theories, however, it is important that you know that not all of your conspiracy theorists are paranoid or neurotic. In fact much of what they have discovered is in fact true and you have all heard that very often truth is far stranger than fiction, and sometimes it is more difficult to digest the truth than it is to digest the illusion. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There have been experiments conducted that have changed your world dramatically. These experiments have already challenged the theory of relativity and many of Einstein's other theories. There have been experiments conducted in the year of 2000 to be specific, and in these experiments they managed to move faster than the barriers of light permit movement. Now what this means is that there is evidence that something can be in two places at the same time, but what it does even more, (which will stretch your imagination now) is, that it defies the law of cause and effect. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now one does not have to have a cause for an effect to manifest, this means your power to be in more than one place at one time without a cause, without motive, and without intention is possible. In fact it is being done already. It is vital that your consciousness takes these words in because this is part of the matrices we are dismantling at this time. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The governments have mastered much of this already. It is also known as remote viewing and remote interference or influence. What this means is that they can reach an altered state of consciousness working from levels that the average human being can not work from as yet, simply because that power eludes them. Remote viewing and remote influencing means *you are able to tune into every single probable outcome in your future* based on where you are currently at, and then *you can ask which of those futures is the most probable*; which one is the most beneficial in terms of your learning, your journey - so which one would be of best benefit to you. And with that knowledge you can then move forward, you can create and *you can influence the dynamics of your life* and all life in fact, like never before. And this is where the true essence of magic and miracles manifest. You, as a group, are drawing the energy of *that realm into the physical field of planet earth* and you are drawing it *into the physical field of your own body*, right into the space around your atoms. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The atomic structure in your body knows all of this already. It was made from that power and it was birthed within that essence. It has all of that knowledge and over the months that lie ahead of you we will work with you in assisting you in activating the dormant parts of your brain that hold that technology, in other words the power to become an empowering vehicle of creation. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is vital that your mental programming begin to move beyond the limited constructs of the old paradigm matrices which have kept humanity in that state of victim consciousness. ***What this will do is lead to a revolution of such immense proportions that your world will shift its energy in what will appear a heart beat!*** 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And this is what you will know as 2012, a time when your world will not be as you known it. However *right now is your time to grasp this notion*, your time to embrace the power that exists within the quantum world around you and the quantum world inside of you. This now is the beginning stage of your learning how to teleport yourself, how to be in more than one place at the same time and *consciously participating within both places at the same time*, never losing yourself or fragmenting your soul in any way whatsoever. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I assure you this is absolutely nothing to do with strange metaphysical wishful, creative thinking, this is science. It is fact, (and I urge any one of you to look up the work of Dr. Wang, the one who conducted the experiment I have spoken to you about) proven... *that one can be in more than one place at the same time and that the laws of cause and effect is part of a limited consciousness*. A limited consciousness that is changing. Entertaining this phenomena will challenge the parts inside of you that are addicted to any kind of victim consciousness. This I am sure will help you understand why Ascended Master Kuthumi has been so adamant in his teachings regarding *taking responsibility for your life* by becoming an active participant within your life; it has all been for a purpose. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These new energies will show you how: * you can heal your body with a simple intention. * How you can change the dynamics within any environment simply by *choosing which one to focus your energy on*. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This power of remote viewing is not psychic hocus pocus. Again I must tell you, it is a very real science and every act of a psychic ability, clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircogniscience, all of these so called out of this world gifts, have nothing to do with being out of this world, they are in fact, in side you in your inner world, and are those mechanisms neatly tied up within your brain. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, the dormant aspects of your brain are the ones, the parts, that are housing this phenomena. And you are now ready to explore it. This is challenging the dark aspects of life like never before. Darkness, as you know, is simply the absence of light. In other words, the absence of love. So the journey beyond the veils of the old paradigm requires of you the faith and the trust in the power that lies within YOU, IE., the unexplored aspects of yourself. The place where angels fear to tread, the place where fools rush in, but in this case you are fools of light, fulls of light. Full of courage. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The determination to bypass every single old paradigm program that has told you *do not go there, you do not want to know what lies within the depths of your subconscious, there is far too much that will frighten you*. NO, No no! I urge you to go inside there, to play with yourself in those realms. For it is in those realms where you will find what you have been searching for for this entire life time and the cycles before this one which has lead to you constantly coming back for more because that hunger has not as yet been satisfied. What you seek has not been found. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You are now in that position to find it. This is what brings so many souls to planet Earth at this time, because this is a cosmic event where every single eye is upon you because this has never been experienced before. The time has also come where all the dark contracts are ending. What this means is that all of the karmic contracts that where in place between souls, that bound them to beings of other planes that did not embody light, has ended. So now the journey entails many processes of anchoring all the seeds of light in all the necessary places. This gives light to those places which reignites the violet and golden flames, and in every point where the violet and golden flame is reignited, so the portals to the dimensions I am speaking to you of, are opened, and you will witness magic, and from that magic the miracles will be born. Those miracles are the manifestation of victory consciousness of unconditional love and prosperity consciousness where souls can come together honoring the Christ Light within one another and this is part of the anchoring of the 999 celebration. Entertain the ideas that you are so much more than you will ever be able to comprehend, and over the next three (3) years *you are going to undergo development that now you cannot even begin to fathom*. It is not in your mind's capability to even imagine it. But, I assure you, what you are about to discover will change your life forever and it is changing the course of your personal history because you can. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;With these newly discovered powers in terms of what you will discover about yourself now, can, in actual fact, change history;change the effects that history has on the consciousness of humanity. Nicola Tesla knew how to do this. Einstein was catching a glimpse of it but did not quite know how to deal with it. He was not very happy with quantum energy because it is so volatile. Why is it so volatile? Because it is able to be transmuted, transformed and *altered in any way one chooses*. Those who are considered the darker energies;the darker forces, have been using this technology to keep humanity in a state of entrapment. And that is how all of you have been controlled in what is known as the matrix. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So in order to break the matrix, not only of the paradigm that you currently find yourself in but also the matrices for all who are coming from where you have been, and those who are in front of you, your star brothers and sisters who are dismantling the matrices for you to pass through, becomes a journey of such incredible empowerment, of the most amazing manifestation of magic and miracles that there will be times I will assure you, you will stop and weep because it will feel as though it is unbelievable. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is not to say that you will never face a life lesson again or that you will never face a challenge or an obstacle again. What it means is that **you are in a position to consciously choose what you need to best learn**. Remember, I spoke about remote viewing earlier and remote influencing of those paradigms. This speeds up the entire journey of the soul's learning process. This allows many dimensions to be experienced. As you move beyond the dimensions of the old paradigm you are clearing the many layers of dark consciousness, the cells of ignorance that have been held in mother Earth's body. These are held within stagnant and dormant energy fields. These dormant fields will now be dismantled, and filled with the energy of Christ light. It will take approximately (18) *eighteen months for this cleansing to be complete* on the planetary level. Each of you however will undergo a *far more accelerated version of this cleansing*. All you are doing is tapping into a technology that is already being used, that was hidden from you. No longer is this power going to be kept away from the souls *who choose the journey to freedom*. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In order for the old to be transmuted there needs to be equal amounts of its opposite in power. Therefore the light is increasing in power to override what the darkness has perpetuated over the last 3000 years. And you and every other worker of the light are being offered this opportunity, whether you take it or not is of course your decision. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So beloved ones, we ask you now to close your eyes and imagine yourself energetically connected to Mt. Zion. *Welcome master Jesus/Jeshua into your personal energy space. *Call upon all the angels of light who work with you and who are assisting us in anchoring this divine plan of light. *Welcome Lord Maitreya and of course your own personal guides, angels and guardians. *Imagine a beautiful violet and golden flame in the center of your heart. Both these flames are aspects of the collective flame of divine illumination. Violet and gold are the colors of golden consciousness. *Their frequencies are gateways* to the golden paradigm, to golden consciousness. Imagine yourself being surrounded by this exquisite gold and violet color, and the energy of the flames growing in strength in side of you. The light they emit shines on the pathway that *you have chosen to walk in this life time*. Its vibrations also penetrate the lobes of your brain, igniting new energy inside of the structure of your brain, sending additional currents of electrical energy through it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While that is taking place, feel the light of the golden violet flames moving down through your body and connecting with Mother Earth forming a divine union between you and her. I, Mary Magdalene, stand along side you, feel the warmth of my hand holding yours. While I hold your hand, my energy receives energy from the Source of All that Is and this energy is transferred into your body, facilitating a *very necessary recalibration ensuring that the frequencies in your body are adjusted and this adjustment* that will ensure that the activation of the dormant aspects of your brain will continue to grow. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As time goes on we will be presenting to you exercises, meditations, and techniques that are to be practiced on a regular basis to strengthen the power of remote viewing; of your power to work with yourself in the future as well as to work with yourself in the past. This power has been abused but you now, who are the workers / walkers of light, you, are *setting the record straight* and it was at the time where the story of Jesus's abuse was played out - where 30 billion implants were placed within the earth. These implants emit frequencies of sound that block the brain's ability to move above a certain level of consciousness. The levels of consciousness you will begin tuning into are those levels you experience when you are in a sleep state. *With practice you will be able to tune into those levels consciously without having to fall into a deep sleep. Therefore, all the work that is being conducted at this time and what you are currently participating in, as well as every effort you make to transform your own life - disarms all of these implants. This will bring the return of life to mother earth's body. Her flesh, which you know as soil, will become rich again. Her body has been depleted as much as yours has. The violet and golden flames attract all the energies necessary to replenish her body as well as yours. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Breathe golden violet energy into your body with every breath that you take in, every exhalation is symbolic of releasing the old and the more you breathe in these colors the stronger your light becomes. Every cell in your body is now manifesting a violet and golden flames. These flames are now moving into your DNA - then into your molecules and then into the atoms of your body. Every organ inside of your body is being fed with this energy and this alters the structure of your magnetic field creating a violet and gold energy field around you. This field serves as a mechanism of protection against the vibrations that are emitted through this advanced technology that has kept you in a state of victim consciousness;the frequencies that feed humanities fear and feeds the negative ego and what you know as survival consciousness. These energies have played on humanities psychology, they have altered the mind's *ability to perceive the vibrations beyond the lower frequencies*. And this is the journey you are now ready to take. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Imagine many layers peeling away from your body and imagine these layers to be representations of the old paradigm's limited ways of experiencing life. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Imagine every attachment in side of you and every attachment that comes to you from your external world - that keeps you attached to fear, to self doubt, to self sacrifice, and to the need to control your environment, motivated by fear - ALL falling away now. This is being done and you will master this because you are working with science, a very powerful energy. This is not something that is made up of a story that will only happen if you believe in it. This is happening and you are simply being shown what is real. You are being shown what has been happening and how you can alter the systems. The violet and golden flames are very important protection mechanisms for you because living within the modern world is a challenge in itself. You are exposed to many levels of density and darkness. Ignoring this darkness, in other words trying to convince yourself that is does not exist, is dangerous. And fearing it to the extent that you are paralyzed by it, is dangerous But *being aware of it* there and *knowing that you have the power to counteract it* is what puts you in ***the most powerful position you will ever be in***. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So acknowledge to yourself now that you are willing to step into no mans land. That you are going to be the fool who will rush into that unexplored territory of your deeper self. *Ask that every tool you need to fully activate the ability to perceive what we have spoken of coming to you under grace and divine and miraculous ways. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All of you are responsible for creating the new world, stepping out of the 3rd dimensional world, the 4th and the 5th dimensional worlds, all of which are still greatly influenced by the dormancy energies. Every where you go you will be anchoring this reunion of light grid, the reunion of the light grid is where all the units of light in side of you emanating the frequencies of the violet and golden flame will *automatically open the heart of that which seeks the same light*. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So visualize the left side of your body filled with the violet flame, the right side of your body filled with the golden flame, and now imagine the two flames wrapping around one another like two lovers, embracing each other and becoming one, for these are the energies of oneness that you are igniting inside of you and anchoring on earth. And it is this frequency of oneness that will help to completely transform victim consciousness into victory consciousness. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now focus your attention on the flames in your heart chakra and project billions of these flames into the world around you and visualize these flames dismantling all of the cellular codings of abuse &amp;amp; the rejection of light &amp;amp; the fear of power &amp;amp; the rejection of innocence &amp;amp; the fear of purity &amp;amp; the fear of love &amp;amp; the rejection of self &amp;amp; and imagine... these unified flames *penetrating every paradigm created that embodies the memories of trauma and abuse*. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And while this is happening, so do the dimensional portals open up for all the souls of those children who were slain by King Herod, to begin moving into the paradigms of freedom. And as every soul is set free they become additional light, attracting those of higher awareness into the dimensions of expanded consciousness. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This energy weaves itself through each of you, creating the *grids of reunion with the light*. And this begins to activate the 12 Plans of New Life that Lord Miatraya is bringing to the earth grids. This is literally encoding Mother Earth with 12 New Pathways of Destiny. These frequencies will be *perfectly aligned with each person who has chosen to step beyond the 12 dimensional energy frequencies* and work through the universal rays of divine illumination. *Imagine your entire earth flooded with this violet and golden energy. The flames burning through every single veil of illusion that has prevented humanity from recognizing their power. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is important for you to know and to understand that not every human being on your planet will grasp this idea. There will still be millions of people who choose to remain within a state of unconsciousness. That is their choice, however, there are still many souls who are seeking, who have the potential to fully embrace this energy, and these are the ones that need this light most and those of you who chose to break the mold; you are the forerunners, you are the ones preparing the way, so breathe this light into your body, acknowledging that you are a representation of the Christ Light, and all of these frequencies are being attuned into the different areas of mother Earth's body and the golden flame will be anchored in Egypt, the violet flame in Greece &amp;amp; those two energies merging together, forming a Divine union of Oneness. There is also be the anchoring of the golden flame in Israel and the violet flame in Jordan, and the two energies are linking together as one. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These four flames represent the Unity Consciousness that is being anchored on Earth as we speak. As these four flames become pairs of light so the unification of the light *within you* will merge with Christ. Some of you will also find yourself merging with a physical human being and with this merging process you are anchoring that light through each of you bringing it into earth. During this time, any couples uniting with the conscious awareness of what this energy represents are being utilized as conduits for the golden and violet flames to be united in this manner. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So now tune into the Christ inside of you, the part of you that *knows everything about you*, and ask this part of you now to activate and to set fully in motion everything required in your life to move you beyond the barriers of the old world, to stretch your mind beyond the old paradigms and into its full essence of power, into the true world of magic and miracles, for then you become the manifestation. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kuthumi has said to you before, in order to experience a miracle, become the miracle. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You are magical beings, and therefore can easily manifest miracles. This is *your time of really experiencing this*. Do not become disheartened or disillusioned if within the next 24 hours you are not doing any of these magical operations. Patience my dear ones. Know that the more you practice it, the stronger it will become, and with the techniques we will be presenting in the not too distant future you will be amazed at what changes for you. In the mean time, hold your focus on that intention, that there is so much more to you than meets the eye, that you have been deliberately kept underground and that you are now like a seed that is breaking the soil to see the sun for the first time, to meet your new lover for the first time, remember the first touch, the first kiss, it will be the same. For this is the first touch of that greater you, and the first kiss of new life. Exhilarating I assure you. You will experience your body tingling with new life, your mind active with new information, new ideas and so much joy inside of you that sleep will become something that you will forget about. Not high on you list of priorities because there will be too much of life to experience. But sleep you will need, even if it is just two hours, you must give yourself some time to re-charge yes. So, embrace these two flames pulling them into you and through you, extending them around you and anchoring them as a greater part of you. Which becomes a greater part of the earth. Every step you take leaves the imprint of the gold and violet flames, everywhere you walk these imprints will be left. And the gold and violet flames have just one very important aspect that must be practiced, it is imperative otherwise the flames will die and if you do not do this, oh my goodness, your life will fall apart, and if you do not abide by this law, there is no hope for you and that law is,. have fun, play and celebrate life, that is the law of the violet and golden flames Playfulness reunites you with the power of the spirit of the inner child. That is what feeds your innocence which in truth as you know is your inner-sense ability. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Having fun connects you with vibrations that cannot be tuned into in any other way. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Laughter is the best medicine for a very specific reason, because of the frequencies that are activated inside your body and *celebration is in fact a ceremony of gratitude*, celebrating is giving thanks, and that is what you need to do. All of you, even if you celebrate on your own, play, have fun, celebrate life. The more you celebrate life the more of it you will have to experience, the more of it you will have to celebrate. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So now bring your consciousness back into the physical body, bringing yourself into the here and now, the current time line of this moment. And as you bring that energy into the current time line you bring with you all the violet and golden energies. All the chakras in your body tingling, alive, celebrating the potential of what lies before you. All your chakras open to receive all of that new energy filling you, there to fill others as you express it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You will find this energy at times intoxicating. Some of you may even find that when you encounter a person who is full of life, who is full of joy and light, their energy is intoxicating because it is such a high vibration coming through them. You have heard before that beauty is only skin deep, and when you see someone who is so exquisitely beautiful from the inside, that beauty becomes intoxicating because it is not something that is defined by humanities terms, it is the light of Christ wrapping its energies around you and loving you. Greeting you and kissing you with its power. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When you meet such a person embrace them, drink of that energy because it is there to be shared, and you are such a person. Maybe some of you have forgotten this and it is your life experiences that have put a lid on that happy bottle of life. Take it off now and be joyous, and when you do have your off days perhaps when you do not feel as intoxicating as you would like to - it does not matter because that energy has been acknowledge and those down days will be very short lived. Sometimes you will experience what feels like sadness or grief, depression and fragmentation because your energy is recalibrating itself and it is natural for you as human beings to feel a level of mourning as something moves away - if something dies inside of you, even if it is something that is not serving you anymore, it is still a part of you that is leaving or being completely transformed, so embrace it, feel it, and then continue. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rejoice in experiences you have attracted to yourself. Celebrate with the new knowings that you have in terms of where your energy and your capabilities are now extending to. And every day indulge in the ideas of you being able to move your mind into worlds that have not been explored by the masses before. Beloved ones, the energy of the angels who brought the message of Jesus Christ's coming are in this Presence with you. They have come to notify you of the coming of Christ, this means the coming of a whole new wave of Christ energy. The 999 was the coming of Christ in the form of the golden egg of peace, but as this Christ now emerges from inside of you a new world is being born, it is the true dawning of the golden age, the age of Aquarius. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lord Maitreya will continue to assist you in anchoring all the 12th dimensional grids inside of your body and ensuring that the reunion of light grid will be maintained in its Divine frequency, keeping you connected to all the new energies. These energies will flush out of your system the imprints related to abuse, where you have been the victim and the abuser, all of this transformed as the energy of forgiveness and forgiving takes place, and all that forgiving is, is going before yourself and choosing to give instead of depriving yourself. As you go forth in this light, all of that which embodies light, that is Christ reveals itself to you and guides you through this Divine Time. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I Mary Magdalene stand with my beloved Jeshua, with our sacred teachers the Essene masters, with our Father, Lord Maitreya in the presence of our cosmic parents, Father/Mother God and as we stand along side you in this environment. We will work together as co-creators in bringing the Golden Age into its full fruition. Take one moment now to consider what it is that may be attaching you to any kind of victim consciousness that you wish to leave behind. Place whatever you have chosen into a red bubble, visualize two blazing gold and violet flames and toss this red bubble into the flames and you will see how it is incinerated - but you notice something else is happening now - this intense heat is giving birth to a crystal, and as the flames die down what is left in its place is a magnificent crystal. This crystal represents the victory consciousness that will replace the victim consciousness that you have now chosen to leave behind. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pick up this crystal. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If it is too big for you to wear on your body, visualize it shrinking in size but not shrinking in power. Perhaps you can wear it around your neck or your wrist, place it wherever you choose and acknowledge this crystal as a symbol of what you have left behind as the victim and what you have now chosen to integrate as the Victor, or Victoria. And give thanks. If you are able to physically have such a crystal on your person then we strongly urge you to do so. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Finally we give thanks to each of you for the choices you have made upon your journey to assist us in the activation of the violet and golden flames for all of humanity. In the arranging of energy in preparation for the reunion of light grids to be fully manifested in their original power and strength, and the plans of light that Lord Maitreya has for humanity, the portals for the souls that are moving through will remain open for the next (24) twenty four hours during which time you will also be blessed by the light of these passing souls. And the patterns of abuse that will also be cleansed by the violet and golden flames anchoring another level of peace on your earth as it is in heaven. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May your hearts find peace, may your hearts find true unconditional love through friendship, through romance, through the love that you have with the Divine and with yourself. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am Mary Magdalene, blessings to each and every one of you. 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Healing Music</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/1e135b25-709e-4d53-8402-19a9617df70a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I’ve just found New Earth Records and they have a nice sized collection of music, with sections like ‘Healing and Wellness’ and ‘Yoga and Bodywork’. Check ‘em out:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.newearthrecords.com
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I just got Deuter's new album from them, Koyasan: Reiki Sound Healing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is absolutely gorgeous Reiki music - or yoga music - or meditation music. I've been listening to it all day.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Listen to samples here:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.newearthrecords.com/web/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&amp;amp;idproduct=1205
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I took this from the website:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Deuter puts his entire palette of musical abilities on display on Koyasan.This CD incorporates a global mixture of instruments, including the Chinese erhu, Japanese shakuhachi flute, East Indian tamboura and Tibetan bowls, as well as shimmering keyboard textures. Deuter takes the listener on a serene, mystical voyage through a variety of peaceful soundscapes with a relaxed and soothing pace. The music is soothing, contemplative and intimate.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone have any other recommendations for healing music?
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've been having some off the wall dreams as of lately... So much so that it has gotten to the point where I am anxious to sleep.  I remebered all of my dreams for a solid two weeks now the past couple days I have been forgetting. I remeber glipses, but not everything. Anybody know of any natural concoctions that can contribute to helping remember ones dreams?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>IMPORTANT!! 17 July 2007 Earth Healing Project</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/7702f286-448a-44b3-a338-5aaa4ef0c312</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*~*To All*~*
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On 17 July 2007, at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time, there is an Earth Healing project, which needs as many people as possible to participate in assisting Earth and all its inhabitants at this time by sending out healing Love energy, in whatever way works for you, for an hour at the specified time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I encourage you all to go to the website and to read the information surrounding this wonderful and necessary project... if we want to align ourselves with creating a brighter and more harmonious future, participating in these types of projects is truly important...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please go to http://www.firethegrid.com/ for more info...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please read this inspiring story first to get some background on this project to Fire up the Earth's Energy Grid!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
&lt;br/&gt;The Story....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are now in a time when natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and tidal waves are dramatically affecting our planet, and our lives on it. We now have the power to destroy this beautiful Earth quickly, with atomic power, or more slowly, with pollution and devastation of our resources, and overpopulation. I have been guided to tell you that we also have the very real power to save this planet, and to make it a loving and healthy place for ourselves and for future generations. Please take a few minutes to read my story. It will hopefully save our Earth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have a story to tell you that I know will be hard to believe in parts, but it has happened to me, and I cannot erase or deny any of it (though at times I wish I could). I am a "normal" woman who grew up in simple yet chaotic times. I am much like you in most every way. I always thought I would be the last one to have a miracle occur in her life, much less two miracles, and all that has happened since. Therefore the tale I tell could be of your life, and not mine. But seeing it is mine I guess I was meant to tell it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What I want to establish first, is the fact that miracles do happen and they happen to people like you and me. What we need to make these miracles happen is to open ourselves to the communication that is all around us every day. Communication not from this world but from the world of our creator, the cosmos and the universe. The message comes from a distance, but you find it by going inside and believing. We can all create miracles within our lives, and that is one of the main points in writing this for you. I have no special tricks. Simply open yourself to the possibility that what I tell you is possible and that it is available to every person.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I will refer to God in many ways throughout this story. This is strange for me to refer to God in any sense, as I believed he had abandoned me a very long time ago. But I will refer to a prime creator of the cosmos and the universe, along with this earth that we live on every day. I call God the Prime Creator, because I want all those to understand that this story is completely unbiased and unprejudiced to any affiliation with any religion, and the God of my understanding is not only an earthly God, but a universal God. I will also refer to God as mother earth, Gaia, which I came to learn through this journey is the female piece of God. As in everything that is in our universe, you must balance darkness with light, peace with war, and recognize the two faces of God, the female and the male. We are all pieces of this Prime Creator. We are a part of God.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Two miracles happened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My son and I drowned in a flooded marsh and not only lived to tell the tale, but we are better than ever. I was "dead" for fifteen minutes. I was told by beings of light how to save myself, and my small son. And I was given a message on how to heal the Earth. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As you are reading this I ask you with all my heart to open yourself to the possibility of what I say. I feel it is imperative that we unite this world as one planet with one common goal - to establish peace and prosperity for all, not just the select few who were blessed to be in the right place at the right time. We are entering a new phase of humanity and what I will tell you in this website will help us as a race to assimilate the changes that the future will bring.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have not had God in my life for forty years. I did however, as a child, chase the possibility of God. I felt that those people who had undying faith were the lucky ones, and the fact that I believed in nothing made me the loser. As a child I often spoke to God, but never felt heard or connected. It took life throwing me into a flooded marsh and drowning me, to open my eyes to the reality of how much we are all connected to the Divine power. It is showing up now more than ever. You can go on the internet and find thousands of hits about the next phase of humanity, the era of enlightenment and the time of change. These stories are in our religions and in the stories of the ancient cultures such as the Mayans, the Egyptians and the Native Americans. We have all been waiting for the moment when things would be different, for surely God will do something to save us from ourselves. Well there is something in the works, but God is merely directing it through people like me, and it will take the faith of people like you to create the reality. Once again I am getting ahead of myself but in the messages I am receiving, I am being given a way for us all to participate in a healing of mother earth, and a launching of the human race into a time of health, peace and positive change. But for this to happen, you will need to sit in meditation for just one hour of your life. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I once heard in the star trek series "resistance is futile." I did not want to be a messenger for God, but when God wishes our awakening, it will happen. So now I will tell you the truth of what happened to me, after a car accident that occurred in Nov. 2002.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My son and I were travelling to a friend’s house for an afternoon of play, when disaster hit. My car was swept into a flooded marsh after hydroplaning. The car landed upside down in this boggy marsh, and sank to the bottom. I tried to open the car's windows, but the power windows failed and we were trapped inside. I spoke with my tiny son who was four at the time, and assured him that mommy would get him out. The car was filling up quickly with the cold murky water and I held my son's coat tightly in my hand, while I waited to be fully submerged. I hoped that I could open the door after the car equalized with water and we would swim out. My final words to my little boy as the water came over his head was "hold your breath honey; mommy will have us out soon". I watched him take a large gulp of the remaining air, and the water took him. When I felt the last air pocket escape the car I tried the door. It wouldn’t budge! The other door was equally stuck. I struggled with the doors several times, to no avail. We were trapped and going to die. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At this point I took Evan’s little body and pushed it over the seat, hoping beyond hope that he would find air. As I struggled to free us from this coffin on wheels, I realized I had to breathe. As I drank the deep breath of water into my lungs, the fiery feeling added panic to the moment. I wanted my baby back and I swung my arms feverously about in an effort to find his body. I couldn’t, and I needed to breathe again. That is when I heard a voice, a calm majestic voice, directing me to relax. This voice cooed in my ear, reassuring me that all would be well. I was infused with the knowledge that if I fought the water, my rescuers would not be able to revive me when they arrived. The voice said that if I fought the water I would drown…no shit I thought, I get a wise ass ghost on my deathbed. The voice continued to give me instructions about what was to happen, and that all would be well if I just followed the instructions. I relinquished myself to this voice from beyond, and passed quietly into the other side.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While on the other side I saw beings of light, who once again assured me that my son and I would not only get out of this car, but we would both be fine. They were definite in explaining that I must follow instructions implicitly and not lose faith in their words. I was told to have faith that I would be divinely directed, and I was.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It took my rescuers fifteen minutes to pull my lifeless body from that car, and another seven minutes of CPR to revive me. As my body bolted upright, I blurted "get my baby out of the car". Twenty two minutes had passed, the rescuers jumped back into the freezing bog to retrieve my son, knowing against hope, that he was dead. It took rescuers another five minutes or so to get my boy free from that car. His limp body was transported to the IWK Children’s Hospital, where he was immediately hooked to every machine known to mankind. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The team of emergency doctors and neurologists were waiting for me. They assured me that my sweet little boy was indeed brain dead, and in addition to this, his internal organs were full of blood. He was haemorrhaging throughout his body and his organs were non- viable. Things were the most bleak I have ever known. That is when the voice came to me again. "Have faith child." The doctors advised me to unplug my baby and let him pass peacefully, for even if a miracle happened and he did live, he would be a vegetable. "No quality of life", is all I remember thinking. Once again I heard the voice, "have faith". For that moment the doctors agreed to keep Evan on life support, but advised me not to hold out any hope. He had less than one percent chance of living and then he would continue to be hooked to all these machines for the rest of his life. Remember, I had no God, so I could not even call for guidance. It was in the quiet of my first moment alone, that I was given the instructions. "Follow the instructions implicitly", memories of the visions and the voice in the lake flooded back to me. There was someone there with me, I was sure of it, and I decided to listen carefully. I was instructed to rebuild my son’s aura by infusing his little body with the auras of others. Twenty minutes at a time was one of the first rules; for if it was longer, you would drain the aura of the giver. They instructed me to parade loving people through Evan's room, each depositing their own energy field into his lifeless body. They were to do this by connecting their flesh to his flesh and allowing their energy to run through his body, and then to give Evan their “gift." If they sang, they were to sing. If they were story tellers, tell a story, and so on. Infuse him with positive energy and your love and your talents, and this will revive him.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I proceeded against hospital protocol to send loving humans into my son’s room every half hour. They then followed the instructions and gave their gift of love. This procession lasted twenty four hours a day, for three days. Dozens and dozens of people came. They "camped out" everyday and every night; loving trusting souls infusing his lifeless body with fresh energy. The fact that I was able to convince the hospital to allow this unorthodox behaviour to happen was a miracle in itself, but on the third day, after 72 hours of constant vigil, my boy opened his little eyes and recognized me. He was back!!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The doctors were baffled. They continued to tell me that he would never walk or talk or be a normal child again. However their words this time had no effect on me. The guidance and direction from my spiritual light beings had proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that he would be fine; after all, my "friend" in the lake had told me so. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Within the first week Evan had recovered all his body functions, and by the end of the second week, he was running down the halls to the hospital playroom. This was indeed an incredible miracle. What had I done to deserve such reprieve by our Almighty Creator? I didn’t know nor did I care. I wanted to take my son home and be done with the whole nightmare. This is when I realized that I might be done with my light friends, but they were not done with me. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I continued to hear the voices and be directed with both visions and seeing auras. Needless to say, I was more than a little freaked out. As time passed I would ask "What do you want of me?" They would speak of the love for the universe and how things have gone terribly wrong. Humanity has spiralled out of control, and has lost its true connection to God and to this Earth. They want desperately for me to give the humans of this world a message from "beyond," that we have inside of us the power to unite this planet as one race with peace and prosperity for all. This power lies inside us all, and when combined with the loving energy of other humans, we can do for this planet what we did for my son. We can revive this Earth and catapult it into healing. With this healing will come a new phase of humanity. We will have a time of peace and harmony. All it will take is our intention, as a united group, and one hour of our time. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So as the voices and visions unravelled I was given the guidance of how to make this all happen. However it will take many of us on this planet to see to the success of the project. As they told me to rotate the humans through my son’s room, they have told me to unite humanity from every corner of the globe. Not every human, just representatives from every corner. We can do this. We need to unite enough people to fire the divine energy system of this planet and jump start it like we did with my boy.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This global project of loving intention is completely possible. Your intention to make it happen can change the outcome of this planet. I will discuss the details of the plan in phase three of this website. I will give you the directions to follow, and you will see how little it will take for you to become an ambassador of light to our home, planet Earth. I beseech you to join me when we fire the Earth grid on July 17, 2007 at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time — 21:11 (9:11 PM) in your time zone — , and add your energy to this project. I promise you, just one hour of your time and you can help heal this planet, and help create peace among all people. My son and I are examples of the power of positive energy, and what humans are truly capable of when they unite with the intention of love. Love is the universal language of our world, and the world beyond.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Light and love be with you and welcome to the next phase of humanity; be part of the excitement and please join us. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SO... who's gonna join me?!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*~*Love, Light and Gratitude All-Ways*~*

      <title>Bedroom Crystal Gridding</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/2cbffa5f-873e-402a-86af-6b7bd72a243c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi Everybody,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm renovating my bedroom.  My partner and I are finally moving into the same room after 6 years together and I wanted to make it as comfortable as possible.  I would really like any advice regarding to gridding the room.  Of course I want to increase the love in the room, but also create a relaxing environment that promotes sleep (my partner is a mild insomniac).  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If anyone can share any insights I would really appreciate it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In light and love,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Trev.&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/0c42c521-da2c-47a7-90ca-200b734ba109</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I'm reaching out to the tribe so that hopefully those that need to can hear my cry.  I'm 22 and have manifested a congenital heart defect (enlarged heart) through what I believe is my own doing and being, and fear its implications (sudden death) for what could conceivably be the rest of my life.  I know we have the ability to heal ourselves and that this is a mind sickness manifested in my body temple, but I unfortunately have not developed many powers.  I'm a poor college student whose already drowning in bills, but will give the most i possibly can if you need or want money.  If you can help me in any way, please contact me and advise.  Thank you.  &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Known as Time's Special Witness, 7th century Mayan prophet Pacal Votan left a universal message for future generations of an evolving Earth. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Proclaiming,"If Humanity Wishes To Save Itself From Biospheric Destruction It Must Return To Living in Natural Time," he foretold of our accelerated technological society, and the resulting damage of our collective divergence from Natural Law in exchange for materialist values.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflective consciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This grand cycle of evolution will culminate 
&lt;br/&gt;winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD. 
&lt;br/&gt;This time we are now in has been called "The Time of Trial on Earth," "Judgement Day," "The Time of Great Purification," "The End of this Creation," "The Quickening," "The End of Time as We Know It," "The Shift of the Ages." It is foretold that the completion of the Precession brings regeneration of Earth, offering awakening to all open, willing hearts. Many peoples spoke of these last days of the Great Cycle, including the: Maya, Hopi, Egyptians, Kabbalists, Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois confederacy, Dogon Tribe, and Aborigines. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As avid stargazers, the ancient Maya were keen to an astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages represents one month of the grand, Cosmic Year. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their mystical belief systems and each have developed calendars based on this great cycle.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Maya messengers, reknowned for their architectural, artistic, mathematical and scientific achievements, left a calling card as a series of super-human sized stone monuments and pyramids with precise calendrical computations. Planted with great intention, these dates were left to ensure that future generations would be alerted to the coming end point of this great 26,000 year cycle. A cycle which corresponds also to a 26,000 year relationship of our Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the 7 Sisters Pleiades constellation. According to the Maya, the "future" which lies beyond this end date is literally "a new world age" - "a new creation."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 26,000 year cycle of the Homo Sapien's evolution and development is mirrored by the 260-day cycle of human gestation. Collective humanity is right now maturing into the being we have long been encoded to be. As with any labor, it is not the mother, or the baby, who is in charge - it is the primal process of Birth itself unfolding its own destiny. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thus the December 21, 2012 AD is not the day where all of the sudden a light switch will flip on and everything will change, rather, we are NOW in the process of this transition from one World Age to the next. The changes are underway and will continue steadily accelerating as we head towards the culminating date!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The ancient Maya understood this 26,000 year cycle to be specifically composed of 5 lesser cycles, each 5,125 years each. Each of these 5 cycles was considered its own World Age or Creation Cycle. As depicted on the familiar, circular MesoAmerican Sun Stone, (often called the Aztec Calendar) each Creation Cycle is said to have been ruled and destroyed by one of 5 elements. Specifically, 4 Jaguar, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, 4 Water. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. This time period is ruled by 4 Earth. This fifth age is the synthesis of the previous four. 4 Earth (called Caban in the Maya language and Ollin in Aztec) has several meanings, including: movement, shift, evolution, earthquake, navigation, synchronicity, clue tracking, turtle. In the Maya language, the word "ol" of ollin means consciousness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Mayan calendrics, the initial date that Earth entered the Fifth World was August 13, 3113 BC, written in Mayan long count notation as 13.0.0.0.0. Every day from that point was reckoned by the number of days passed since the event of this cosmic beginning point. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes in "Time and The Technosphere" - 
&lt;br/&gt;"August 13, 3113 BC is as precise and accurate as one can get for a beginning of history: the first Egyptian dynasty is dated to ca 3100 BC; the first 'city,' Uruk, in Mesopotamia, also ca 3100 BC; the Hindu Kali Yuga, 3102 BC; and most interestingly, the division of time into 24 hours of 60 minutes each and each minute into 60 seconds [and the division of the circle into 360 degrees], also around 3100 BC, in Sumeria. If the beginning of history was so accurately placed, then must not the end of history, December 21, 2012 also be as accurate?" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(Sidenote: Regarding the World Age cycle we are closing in 2012 and the new World Age cycle to dawn, there are varying cosmologies as to whether we are closing the Fifth World and entering the Sixth, or closing the Fourth World and entering the Fifth. For example, In the perspective of the living Maya Timekeepers of Guatemala, calendrically speaking, each element has a 5,125 year cycle. They teach that we have been through fire, earth, air and water already. The next cycle (beginning Dec 21, 2012) will be ether - the Fifth Age - the Age of Center. Likewise, the Hopi teach we are closing the Fourth World of Destruction, and preparing to begin the Fifth World of Peace. Regardless of the title given, what is clear is that we are on poised on the brink of a World Age Rebirth!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Within the 5,125 year cycle lies 13 smaller cycles, known as the "13 Baktun Count," or the "long count." Each baktun cycle is 394 years long, or 144,000 days. Each baktun was its own historical epoch or Age within the Great Creation Cycle, carrying a specific destiny for the evolution of those who incarnated in each baktun. For example, almost all of the Mayan inscriptions were seeded precisely during Baktun 9 (435-830 AD). This era is known as the time of the Classic Maya. After this point, around 830 A.D., the great Mayan centers were abandoned and their thriving culture mysteriously disappeared. To this day, no one can verify or prove why they left or where they went. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Classic Maya of Baktun 9 were of a specific destiny, distinct from Maya of other times. As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes, "In 830 A.D. the engineering team departed back to space, back to the other dimensions from which the Maya keep their watch on things. Slowly the terrestrial Maya melted back into the jungles. The time of darkness was setting in. Sure enough the conquerors came. By 830 A.D. Warrior tribes who took the ancient name of Toltec, which means Master Builder, entered the Yucatan. War and human sacrifice were introduced." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Earth and her inhabitants are currently travelling through the 13th baktun cycle - the final period of 1618-2012 AD. This cycle is known both as "the triumph of materialism" and "the transformation of matter." The Maya predicted this final baktun would be a time of great forgetting in which we drift very far from our sense of Oneness with Nature and experience a kind of collective amnesia. Like a memory virus in which we begin to believe the limited reality of appearances and grow dense to the spiritual essence which fuels this world, so humanity's sense of ego and domination has grown. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We entered this baktun cycle right after establishing the world wide coordination of Pope Gregory XIII's 12 month calendar system (1582) as well as the perfection of 12 hour 60-minute mechanical clock (1600), which had been evolving for centuries. These are no small matters. According to Valum Votan, these 2 instruments are what manifested humanity's "error in time" which is the following of artificial instruments of time that served to separate man apart from the rest of nature, operating by our own false timing frequency, to the detriment of the natural world. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Gregorian calendar is not based on logic, science, or nature. It denies and covers up the true annual human biological cycle conserved in the body of woman. It is the current world standard because of the forceful issuance of this system upon conquered (indigenous) peoples who lost their land as well as their religious freedoms. The Gregorian calendar is a product of its predecessors - Julius Caesar's calendar and the earlier Roman Empire calendar.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The clock was the first existing machine - going on to become the heart of all machine technology to come.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The presence of the clock gave birth to the notion that time lies outside our bodies - that it can be tracked by a machine, and that we can sit and watch it "fly" by tick-tock as though it is something linear, containable, and separate from the organic, flowing process of life. The adherence to the clock for our sense of time and timing is noted as the greatest obstacle to allowing the full telepathic abilities of the human to flower. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Next came the Cartesian Coordinate Rectilinear Grid System (1637) which went on to establish the foundational platform of all modern math and science. Thanks to Rene Descartes (the man infamous for his quote "I think therefore I am,") the ceiling of perception validated only the reality of the 3 dimensions of physical space. The coordinates of X,Y, and Z rendered the fourth dimension obsolete from our worldview.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At that moment, time became reduced from its qualitative essence to that of a quantity. The mind who adopted the lens of the linear grid also adopted the limited perception of time as a 3rd dimensional linear progression of pure duration. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our societal paradigms have continued to operate with these limitations in place. Thus if something can not be seen, touched, or proven with measurements, it does not, in effect, exist. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Through the Cartesian lens, Nature has become reduced to pure quantifiable resources - no longer a living qualitative aspect of ourselves, but now something outside of ourselves which we observe, analyze and ultimately come to replicate, manipulate, dominate, toxify, and even destroy or extinguish. As Rene Descartes stated plainly,"I perceived it to be possible to arrive at knowledge highly useful in life...and thus render ourselves the lords and possessors of nature."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It seems the modern world wants nothing more than to improve upon Nature, or at least extract her wisdoms and magical properties in order to make a buck by fulfilling increasing consumer demand.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And so, here we are - currently living the last 7 years of both a 5,125 year Creation Cycle, and the last 8 years of a 26,000 Grand Cycle, the Precession of the Equinoxes. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The coming end date of December 21, 2012 is also written as 13.0.0.0.0. in Mayan long count notation; just like the beginning date.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Scholar and author John Major Jenkins reports,"On 13.0.0.0.0, the December solstice sun will be found in the band of the Milky Way. We can call this an alignment between the galactic plane and the solstice meridian. This is an event that has slowly converged over a period of thousands of years, and is caused by the precession of the equinoxes. The place where the December solstice sun crosses the Milky Way is precisely the location of the "dark-rift in the Milky Way...'xibalba be' - the road to the underworld." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts the crossing point of the sun's ecliptic with the galactic plane, while also closely conjuncting the exact the center of the galaxy.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jenkins further proposes that this grand cross in time is symbolized by the Mayan Tree of Life, found at the core of Mayan cosmology. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are being invited to realize that we are Time. We are the Living Prophecy. The Synchronic Order of Natural Time governs the unfolding of our lives. Time's cycles are found within our bodies and within Nature's daily rhythms and cyclic seasons. We have forgotten this, thinking that time is money or that time is the clock, or the relentless progression of work weeks and weekends. Time is the ever-changing, unfolding Now as it synchronistically coordinates the Whole living Universe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From his studies into ancient Mayan Time-Science, Dr. Jose Arguelles decoded the mathematical nature of the Synchronic Order,
&lt;br/&gt;The Law of Time: 
&lt;br/&gt;There is only one timing frequency which unifies the whole galactic order from its largest constituent to its smallest. This timing frequency is the 13:20 ratio, found within the harmonic structure of the 13 moon calendar as well as our human bodies - our 13 main joints and 20 fingers and toes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Knowing that we are the prophecy, what does it mean to be nearing this return, and what can we expect - personally as well as planetarily?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These times are so accelerated that no answer could encompass the vast implications of the phase we are in. A range of responses are available to us. Depending on who you talk to and what area you research, one can find all kinds of claims as to what can be expected. From cataclysm to enlightenment, world war to world peace, massive earth changes and physical destruction, to massive spiritual awakening to our inherent oneness, there are many views of the implications of the approaching year 2012, 2013, and beyond. One thing is clear - we are right in the thick of this critical, transformative period! As this date approaches, we are collectively in a transition phase of the old world dying and a new world being born.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This moment on Earth, with all of its heightened energies, has never existed before. The opportunities and challenges of today's world are the climax of all that has preceded us. Never before has the population of this planet increased by 216,000 people a day! Never before has the Earth's biosphere been in such a precarious state. That which seems like normal lifestyle decisions and behaviors are but precedents set by our modern standards - not necessarily reflecting the most balanced, healthy, or sane way to operate. It is for us to decipher how to live our lives with integrity; to determine what truths empower us to model our lives according to our greatest harmonious potential.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All that is manifesting on the inner and outer planes reflects the sacred intensity of these prophetic times. More than ever, the polarities and imbalances within us and around us are becoming clearer. Love, beauty, exuberance, and compassion permeate this world - multi-faceted victories of art, co-creation, community support, healing and evolution shine all around us, illumating the spirited grace of our true nature. Meanwhile, this world is steeped in fear, brutality, pain, and disease - endless anguish of anxiety, separation, disconnection, confusion, isolation - alongside the toxic realities of egoic, callous greed and corruption, materialism, addiction, and dangerous ignorance. This is now the time to embrace all that has been dishonored or denied, for it is emerging to be purified and sanctified. Accountability is required on all levels of our existence. The cosmic climate is changing at rapid rates, allowing us to now transduce and shed egoic programs of fear and limitation easier than in the past. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Science reveals that Earth's base resonant frequency is increasing (Earth's heart-beat), and that the magnetic fields of the planet are dropping - reflected in the shifting migration patterns of animals. These shiftings of the Earth's body allow us to release unwanted baggage - mental, physical and emotional patterns, conditioning, beliefs, attitudes, and programming. Simultaneously, that which we think or desire is becoming actualized more and more swiftly. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A peak point in this time on Earth is what's called the "transition of the biosphere into the no-osphere." According to Russian scientist V.I.Vernadsky,"This is the result of a climax of human self-reflective thought and industry upon the environment, resulting in an exponential change in consciousness in which all becomes revealed and known." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As many of us are well aware, much of the genetic potential we are born with is lying dormant within us, waiting to be turned on. This is definitely an important aspect of this time of Quickening. We can only imagine what the full activation of our DNA will allow us to accomplish and manifest for Planetary healing and restoration. It has been foretold that we will be able to transmute the problems of our 3rd dimensional physical reality by utilizing our own stored, internal technology. More and more this is happening. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now in action is the worldwide grassroots movement which utilizes sound vibrations to clear pollution and (geopathic) earth stresses, producing amazing results. www.earthtransitions.com. Using the ancient sciences of focused prayer and intention, channeled through post-Tesla energy technology, toxic matter is being transformed.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The time has never been so ripe to realize eachother as "one planetary organism in contact with itself anywhere on the planet." The Emergence of our Empowered Potential, Our Divinity is presenting itself to be claimed. How to experience this reality consciously? Where-ever one looks, the universal answer points to one's own body, one's own mental attitude, the energy of one's own heart, one's own living breath as the beginning place of orientation to feel one's unique connection to and expression of the functioning of Totality.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As the frequencies continue to raise, our connection to the fourth dimension continues to rapidly increase. This allows for maximum transformation and mutation of who we are and how we live life, or how life lives us! Doors of opportunity ever-presenting themselves, any limit we might place upon what's possible in these next 7 years is not recommended. Let us instead Dream the Exaltation of Humanity and all of Life on Earth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Returning to Natural Time
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Valum Votan, "Closer of The Cycle" - final messenger of Pacal Votan's prophecy, prescribes the fulfillment of human destiny as a collective return to natural time via the synchronization of the 13-moon 28-day calendar. Using this harmonic, ancient, and accurate standard of measure, we make a whole-systems transition into conscious resonance with our living universe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In these intense times of uncertainty, we need all the navigational assistance possible for our everyday consciousness to be in harmony with Earth. The 13 Moon calendar helps us re-harmonize our bodies and minds to the natural patterns and cycles of the Earth and Stars.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Learning a new calendar may seem hard or even intimidating, but this is the time to try something new. As Valum Votan states, "It's the untried solution; the harmonic solution." What we're being asked to do is let go of what has been common for so long - the irregularity of the 12-month calendar - and embrace the accuracy of the 13-moon calendar.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Overlayed upon the perfect framework of the 13 moon year, is another layer of natural time - the "sacred count of days," a cycle of 260-days which flows through the year, giving each day a unique "Galactic Gateway." This sacred cycle composed of 260 distinct energies is called the Galactic Spin cycle. As a modern version of the ancient Mayan Tzolkin, it puts us directly in touch with the creational energies which compose our inner and outer world. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The benefit of utilizing this harmonic module (Tzolkin) is that it serves as a clear map of the 260 energetic portals of self inquiry which assist our quickening. As we use these lenses to see deeper into ourselves, we come to know the purpose which every moment holds. We come to hear the guidance which calls to us in every interaction of our lives. We perceive the clues which are waiting to bestow information. The more we surrender into the natural flow of life's timing, the more directly we are informed by time as the universal frequency of synchronization. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The source of these calendar codes is the "Dreamspell" - the modern application of ancient Mayan time-science, brought to us by Dr. José and Lloydine Argüelles. As a tool of synchronization, unification, and telepathic development, by speaking a language of light, this template unites us in a harmony which transcends our language barriers. By following the 13-Moon Natural Time Calendar, every day we meet eachother in the consciousness of the energy and sacred symbol of the day. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rather than labeling today's date as:
&lt;br/&gt;"Thursday, December 22, AD two-thousand-and-five," 
&lt;br/&gt;to a growing global population who tracks the Dreamspell count, today is:
&lt;br/&gt;"Red Rhythmic Skywalker, Gamma Rhythmic 10, Year of the Yellow Cosmic Seed."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is beneficial to come together and dicuss what it means to live by these cycles, and how to enhance our connections and share resources!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The "Dreamspell" is subtitled "Timeship Earth 2013." If we understand that Time refers to the fourth dimension of Mind which governs third dimensional space, (Intention preceding manifestation), then what if we translate this as "Mindship Earth 2013?" As humans all over the planet unite through this synchronization tool, we are in fact linking minds over the next 7 years, and beyond. Perhaps the design and the quality of the Ship of 2013 will reflect the consciousnesses of those minds who have linked up! All aboard!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The purpose of the 13-moon calendar is to assist in converting third-dimensional materialism into the fourth-dimensional rainbow nation." 
&lt;br/&gt;-The Dreamspell 
&lt;br/&gt;"Like the Maya who preceded us, we shall understand that the path to the stars is through the senses and that the proper utilization of our mind as the auto-regulatory control factor will help facilitate the passage to different levels or dimensions of being." -José Argüelles
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This prophecy is unfolding, right now! 
&lt;br/&gt;As Valum Votan said: "We are the Peacemakers we've been waiting for!" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All that has been unconscious is becoming conscious.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May Our Paths Be Illumined By The Highest Light Of The Creator That We May Live In Harmony With All Our Relations, In Service to the Whole.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Personal and Planetary awakening is here, now.
&lt;br/&gt;As Werner Erhardt says:
&lt;br/&gt;"Now is when it is. Here is where it is. You are what it is. Celebrate!"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;IN LAK'ECH 
&lt;br/&gt;YUCATEC MAYAN CODE OF HONOR 
&lt;br/&gt;"I AM ANOTHER YOURSELF" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;- Xa Ta Zac Xa Ta Amac - 
&lt;br/&gt;"Only May There Be Peace In Your Presence"
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Is a Moderator needed?</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/a79f3b02-61d7-4a94-addd-3cffdf6aa566</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I came back and reflected on this "need" for a mod and I would like to put it to the group.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is a moderator needed?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By the very nature of the topic and the assumed intellegance level of the people here I would like to suggest that there be NO moderator.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I belong to one of teh largest pagan communities on the web and they go by one rule
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Treat everyone and their Pasth the way you expects YOURS to be treated." (c)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So far it's held up pretty good with over 18,000 members.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Opinions?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Peace

      <title>To introduce myself</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/3dfabb4f-c5da-4910-8f9e-077453fdc747</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Osiyo, Y'all,
&lt;br/&gt;My church name is Bishop John Columba (Missing), my Cherokee name is Yona Gadadoli which means "Praying Bear" and I am a native Floridian. Although I grew up Southern Baptist, or rather, because I did, I found my way many years ago to the Orthodox Church, where I eventually began my monastic life and was tonsured a Stavrophore monk. Several years later, I was ordained to the priesthood in the American Catholic Church, Diocese of Central Florida, which was subsequently reorganized as the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church. I was consecrated a bishop in the American Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church, Holy Synod of the Americas which was to be reorganized because the corporation has been dissolved.
&lt;br/&gt;Since my ordination, I have served the oft neglected elements of society: the aged and AIDS patients in nursing homes, alcoholics and addicts, and the imprisoned. Until the decline in my health resulted in my being found disabled, I was attending the local community college, studying to be an RN in order to open a Christian residential hospice in this area, which I still hope to be able to do eventually. I have some definite ideas about what such a facility should be. There will be elements of a home environment and the spiritual qualities of monastic life. Since I know that we are all dying, indeed there is no other way out of this life, hospice is not about dying but about learning to live before you die. I shall incorporate a healthy diet, a little gardening, a modicum of prayer and meditation, and the best of modern and alternative medical care into a healing environment. I believe that, while it is commendable to feed, clothe, or house a multitude of people through the work of a "Christian" agency or religious institution, it is of infinitely more importance from the spiritual perspective to bring about a spark of Christ-like love and compassion between two individuals. There will be more hungry, more naked, more homeless, but that spark of Christ-like love and compassion is an Event in Eternity.
&lt;br/&gt;My faith has been shaped by my Baptist upbringing which included the strong historical teaching of my mother and the simple faith and Christian "caritas" of my beloved maternal grandmother, which made me firmly committed to Christ, as well as traditional Eastern Orthodox theology, which taught me to see "salvation" as "theosis." However, Bishop Marinus Peters, who ordained me, broke me out of my earlier narrowness both liturgically and pastorally. Furthermore, I have been shaped by Gnosticism, Holy Bishop Ignaty Brianchaninov, Archbishop Anthony Khrapovitsky, Holy Archbishop John Maximovitch, the Dalai Lama, other Tibetan Buddhist monks, Thich Nhat Hanh, Black Elk, others on the "Red Road," Theosophy, and Creation Spirituality. Two touchstones have guided me through many changes and decisions: "Where is the love of Christ here?" and "What would the Master do?"
&lt;br/&gt;On November 4, 2000, I was consecrated as a bishop. Effective December 31, 2000, Metropolitan Archbishop Vladimir Sergius II resigned as primate of our jurisdiction. He appointed me to take his place pending the election of a new primate. Subsequently, the remaining bishop of our jurisdiction decided that I should take Vladyka Vladimir's place as the primate.
&lt;br/&gt;Subsequently, Vladyka Vladimir advised me that he was also dissolving the North Carolina corporation under which the jurisdiction has operated. Furthermore, it appears that he is not active in any way. On top of this, it appears that there are no active clergy remaining since the only remaining bishop is old and quite ill and the only priest has sought to be received within another jurisdiction. At the point that I found myself in these circumstances, because of the demands of being full time caregiver for my mother, my only active ministry was conducting religious services at Society for Creative Anachronism events when I got the chance to attend. Besides this I have been spiritual director to several people including a bishop in another Orthodox jurisdiction. As a monk it is my duty and calling to pray. Therefore, I pray for others, especially for healing. I have learned to apply the principles taught by Harry Edwards, a British Spiritualist healer.
&lt;br/&gt;Subsequently, I helped a bishop relocate to a nearby city here in Florida in order that we could both become more active in ministry. He and another bishop from a different jurisdiction performed a "sub conditione" consecration, elevated me to archbishop, and installed me as primate of the Autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, Inc. Unfortunately, we never actually got active. The other bishop seemed always dissatisfied with his living arrangements although he was about to become the owner of his own mobile home in an "over 55" park. Nevertheless, he moved to another place in North Carolina where he shared a house with two other people which arrangement did not last.
&lt;br/&gt;Since I was caring for Mom full-time, I had little opportunity to be active in ministry without someone to help. In 2004 my health deteriorated seriously and Mom had to be placed in a nursing home. Subsequently, I have been battling reoccurring cellulitis, reaching a low point last summer. The severity of the infection and the strength of the antibiotics left me with little stamina and frequent exhaustion. However, I have made steady progress since then. More recently, a change of medication for my arthritis and psoriasis has begun to enable me to do more than I had been able to do for some time.
&lt;br/&gt;Several years ago, through my desire to learn Reiki, I found a place near here called All World Acres where, in addition to hosting pagan festivals, they had a sweat lodge set up and frequently held sweat lodge rituals. I had long wanted to participate in a sweat lodge although I'm not that fond of heat. I went to my first of many lodges there. Unknown to me prior to the first lodge, the particular leader there followed the practice that lodges were nude. As an Orthodox monk at the time, I had the instant decision to make, "Was I going to get naked like everyone else or was I going to pass up the first and possibly only opportunity to participate in a Native American ritual that I had wanted to find for so long?" I ditched the clothes and have never regretted it since. I have also participated in lodges where a minimum of loose comfortable clothing was worn. That first lodge was a powerfully spiritual experience in which I felt the energies moving through and around the lodge. I also overcame my self-consciousness about my nudity when I realized that only someone whose night vision was better than a cat could see anything when the lodge door was closed.
&lt;br/&gt;In subsequent lodges I have been granted visions which have profoundly changed me. While I had known that Brother Raven was my totem animal even before I really understood what a totem animal was, it was in such a vision that he introduced me to my other totem animal, Sister Bear. Although I have been studying about Native American spirituality for years, I had thought until a few years ago that I was just a white guy who felt drawn to Native American things. Following in Mom's footsteps, I am one of the family historians. A few years ago, while trying to add more information to the family tree, I found that my great-great-grandmother Rachael was half-breed Cherokee. Having a German father and a German husband, she managed to avoid "the Trail of Tears." Therefore the silence that saved her from that fate, continued in the family for generations. As I tried to learn more of my Cherokee heritage, I became active in a Cherokee organization that seeks to preserve our culture and train mixed bloods like myself to live it. Last October I was formally received into the Medicine Lodge.
&lt;br/&gt;When I was a Southern Baptist and even after I had been received into the Greek Orthodox Church, I used to argue with my sister about reincarnation, maintaining very strongly that there was no such thing. Nevertheless, my first past life memory came way back then, but I refused to acknowledge what it was. While I was active in the Society for Creative Anachronism, I loved to research ancient liturgies and then do them which my bishop allowed in that venue. Having researched the early Irish Liturgy according to the Lorrha Missal, at one SCA event I was celebrating it on a Sunday morning. At one point in the liturgy which was very different than any other Christian liturgy, I was overwhelmed with the memory of having done that liturgy before including seeing my parishioners from about 1000 years earlier. After that event, I apologized to my sister for arguing with her about reincarnation.
&lt;br/&gt;With regard to my past life memories in general, I have never gone through anything like hypnotic regression, but rather my memories have come to me either spontaneously, in a dream or in connection with a period of meditation. I have had a number of these flashes of memory when coming out of the meditative state which is part of Harry Edwards' healing meditation practice. Although I am now certain that I have lived many lifetimes, I only have fragments of memories from a few. I was a priest in early Christian Ireland, a married householder in preChristian Ireland or Scotland, an indigenous Anglican priest somewhere in the British Empire in the late 19th Century, a young Native American apprentice (who didn't live to finish his apprenticeship) to the Medicine Man around the time of the coming of Russians to the Pacific Northwest, an Indian Buddhist monk in a Tibetan monastery, and a murder victim in New York City shortly after World War I.
&lt;br/&gt;I've been evolving spiritually to the point that I am an Ecclectic Universalist. However, I still follow Jesus as I always shall, but I don't fit any church that I know of. Furthermore, after being my sister's chauffeur to her Wicca 101 class, in June I was one of the fairies for their full moon celebration. On the other hand, I had begun reading on Yahoo group the postings of Bhikku Samahita and even went so far as to formally join his cyber sangha. At that point I added to my daily spiritual practices certain Buddhist practices. This lead to my discovering a special event in my local area. I had a most wondrous weekend attending a Medicine Buddha Retreat. During practice at one point my overly busy mind was quiet for a moment, such a blessed moment. However, more importantly it was clear to me that this needs to be part of my practice for the benefit of others. I am often asked to pray for those who are sick. With regard to my own health issues which include arthritis, I can say that after hours of sitting, I was able to rise although stiffly, yet without pain. However, there were elements of the weekend which have to do with my own past life memories.
&lt;br/&gt;An incident that Sunday relates to a spontaneous memory that I had around a year ago. That day a friend at a pagan gathering was giving a workshop on dance. While she danced I watched her hand movements, and remembered being told by my teacher in another lifetime to "study the mudras." I saw my own hands in that past time, that they were dark. I also knew that although I understood my teacher's words, he spoke them in a language that was not my mother tongue. This Medicine Buddha Retreat was given by Tibetan Buddhists. That Sunday, I had the occasion to recall that memory fragment because this involved learning to do mudras. Noticing one gentleman at the retreat who is from India, I realized that my skin color in my memory was identical to his. However, that was not the most striking thing that day. I'm sure that you have had the experience of forgetting a name or a fact when you had the distinct feeling that you knew it, but just couldn't recall it at that moment. "The name is on the tip of my tongue." In Sunday's practice we chanted in Tibetan and read in English. During our chanting of Tibetan, I had the powerful feeling that I was supposed to be understanding it, but that the meaning was just beyond my reach, rather like the "name ... on the tip of my tongue." Furthermore, the practice requires me to learn to do certain mudras which are part of this practice and common to other practices.
&lt;br/&gt;As far as deities are concerned, I firmly believe that our Mother/Father God, the Creator, is beyond gender and containing all gender. With regard to "lesser deities" and other spiritual beings, first of all, I believe with my Cherokee ancestors that the world around us is filled with spiritual beings including the spirits of trees, plants and animals as well as those who are in charge of such things as wind and rain. However, I like to use an analogy to better explain how I see this. The realm of spirit is an ocean. I am a drop of salt spray, while the "deities" are the waves. The entire created universe (or universes) is all of the oceans of the planet. However, our Mother/Father God, the Creator, is all the water on the planet in all its forms. I am also fond of the term in Buddhist literature and prayers the "mind-stream" as the "I" that I experience.
&lt;br/&gt;Recently, the local CUUPS group's coven had their full moon celebration for Beltaine. After their last full moon celebration, they were seeking recruits to be fairies for this celebration. After another group's Beltaine ritual, I borrowed a pair of wings. Since then, I picked up a couple of items and thrift stores as well as craft materials to make my costume. I put it all together as my own unique fairy costume. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to play with people's minds. ;-) [In a friendly and beneficial manner like Coyote or Mouse.]
&lt;br/&gt;This was so much fun, I reprised the role the next month (with a set of wings that I made for myself) since the coven leading the ritual then said they need fairies for it.
&lt;br/&gt;Tomorrow I shall begin Wicca 101 for myself. I continue my training in the Medicine Lodge. I have begun training for priesthood of Kuan Yin's Eternal Flame which seemed so natural since compassion has been so important in my life and upbringing.
&lt;br/&gt;I seek to learn from all who will teach me and am available to teach whoever would learn from me.
&lt;br/&gt;--
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste,
&lt;br/&gt;Rev. John&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;(bowing) Greetings Brothers and Sisters!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Rev. R. Twig Jones and I would like to introduce myself and add my name to the candidate(s) for the moderator position of this fine tribe. I have read back through the posts and perhaps I have found a home among the many tribes that make up this world.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am known around the web mostly as a 48 yr. old ordained Druidic/Pagan counselor, teacher,  and healer living in Cedar Mill and most well known for my past work at www.mysticwicks.com in helping bringing the druid forum (now a sub-forum of the "Paths" forum) into it's own. As the membership testifies, we must have done something right considering there were 55 members when I was asked to join and signed on!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But it goes deeper than that. I also belong (since 1999) to a rather eclectic site. www.chosenones.net 
&lt;br/&gt;which is run out of Isreal and is a gathering of people associated with advanced energy work. I would ask you read the front page and then see what I mean in the FreeSpirits Forums. If you find it to your liking, Join! And tell`em Twig sent you. ;)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is one here at least, Gypsy, who has met me before and can somewhat vouch for my "papers" and sincerity.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why am I, a rank newbee on his first post, applying for the job? Because I came to this tribe quite on a lark via...I don't remember which Tribe. And the Energy that drove me here said "It's time you got involved again."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And I always do what the little voice in my head tells me to. Heheh seriously , I have an unbiased outlook at Energy manipulation and have studied and applied it for a number of ye...decades actually.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In any case I come before you a humble Brother and hope I can be of any assitance you may need. And I see very bright and sincere peopel here.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for letting me join. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your Brother in Peace,
&lt;br/&gt;Twig
&lt;br/&gt;The Druid of Peace  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Smudging</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/445e99d9-6693-4f3e-9ddf-902dd8ec35bb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi Everybody,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was wondering if I could get some advice.  My friend has recently bought an apartment and is convinced it's haunted.  I'm not really sure what to do for her, but thought of maybe smudging the place.  Does anyone know if this would be a good idea?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know that she is freaked by the ghost and thought at least if this spirit is malevolent that smudging might help to ease negativity.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any advice or other options would be greatly appreciated.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Trev.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;This tribe speaks to me deeply, and resonates with the intentions of "Heart into Action--Healing Green," a tribe that I recently created to seed a vision I have held for five years.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In recent months, years.. I have been told in surreal moments from "seers" that there was something.. different.. about me. I have felt this most of my life, but have no way of exacting what this is.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have the distinct sense, from my own personal experience, supported by the ancient wisdom and modern esoteric science, that what this tribe proposes is possible. Indeed, I am committed to it being realized. Rescinding from our throne of consciousness in the brain, and perceiving the liquid nature of consciousness (simply harnessed in various rates of vibration, or 'forms'), aka: energy.. well, it is clear that there is an intelligence present to all this. The question is, where does this intelligence lie within us, and are we, in fact, separate from it?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hence the healing emphasis in my focus.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am very curious what the realtionship between shamanism and wizardry is.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone have any words?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;For those in Portland who are interested. National Geographic on channel 273 on Comcast is showing a documentary called Rebuilding Stonehenge. I'm watching the 6pm to 8pm showing. But I missed most of it. But for those interested it will be on again at 9pm tonight. Just thought I pass that on for those are interested in Stonehenge.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>question about radionics</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/659ced78-6fd7-4f86-99eb-a95105510af6</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Does anyone have any experience working with radionics devices?  Such as zappers, holy hand grenades, mini orgone generators, chem-busters, etc?  I have never encountered one in physical world and wonder if anyone that is sensitive enough to understand non-physical energy has worked with these or uses them.  I would primarily like to know their effectiveness in working on the etheric plane.  Thanks in advance for your answers.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Trying to figure out who/what I am....ha ha ha</title>
      <link>http://energywizards.tribe.net/thread/be1afd14-6de7-4efc-81c8-a6548a83f5d1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi, I'm Sarah.  Years ago (early teens through early twenties), I was a practicing Wiccan.  I am no longer Wiccan.  However, I have had "magical" abilities all of my life.  I haven't actively pursue strengthening or building my powers, but they can't be turned off completely either.  If I want to effect something into existence, I don't use "spells" as I can use my will, although I have found sigils to be helpful.  I'm not really sure how they work, but they do.  Ever since I was a child, I have experienced out-of-the-body experiences, some hellish astral experiences, seeing beings, healing people, and just the other day I heard tinkling bells and smelled flowers whatever that means.  I have a lot of energy - loads of it.  Mundane people can even feel my energy.  Unfortunately, I attract a lot of weirdos, too - some are actually dangerous :( .  I don't have anyone to mentor me and am not even sure what to do with all of this.  I don't even know what I am really?  Female wizard?  Magician?  Do you have any idea of what I might be and how to go about developing my gifts?  I've decided I really don't want to ignore this any longer.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;BTW, I lived in Kent, Wa for 7 years - now in NY.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sarah&lt;/div&gt;
