Openly staring into the emptiness of space, the sky is not all that big compared to the smallness of this mind.
Making my body feel like a useless tree that is in the process of disintegrating, and making my mind as inactive as inanimate matter, what I am sitting on is sitting on me.
Forgetting who I am or what I am exactly, the melodies of far off heavens are as perceptible as the buzzing of bees.
Focusing on the inhalation and exhalation of trees, I hear a great rumbling coming from all of the layers of the earth. Just as some persons are quiet and some are loud, similarly, the entire earth sometimes belches and sometimes cries.
On other occasions, you can hear infinite sounds through finite sounds and thus the concert of life is in full sway.
The Tao plays through everyone's instrument of a voice, giving everyone the chance to mute the notes of the Tao or the chance to amplify what the Tao has entrusted them with since mere infancy.
What is great to small men is barely noticed by the Tao and what is great to the Tao is often treated as less than worthy by the world at large.
Sleeping, waking, or running, the soul of things is known and unknown by those who struggle and those who laugh.
Laughing at being slow to run after fear, the arrow of judgement stills the practitioner's attachment to being right. Fading and fading away like the joyous beauties of the seasons, the age of unfulfillment is drawing near for those who cringe at the sight of possible death.
All of the activities of the feeling nature issues forth from the emptiness of being. Where they go to once they are expressed is a mystery to the wise and to the pretentious.
Stopping their flow of expressions is useless until the seasons are fully understood.
The cause of being is likeable to no being. Though we sense there is a creator or a self, where is the self when it loses its form and disappears?
From which body part does this self originate from? Is it the self which causes the body to act in conformity with the seasons and the Tao? Whether grasped at or not, the self ceases to exist while existing and exists while not existing.
Working for nothing really, where does the self go to when it stops working? Holding onto a formed image of a formed image, what image is your image?
Guided by being guideless, a fixed mentality is without perimeters and thus there is no necessity for calling others rigid or flexible.
Sounding out soundless words, what is the use of making formed sentences and ideas? Lost in perpetual contemplation, the meaninglessness of life is filled with innate meaning.
Seeing the Tao right in front of you, how can you not see the Tao? The Tao is an immortal word, yet it remains clouded over by meaning.
Clear to the point of intellectual devastation, those who deny others end up denying nothing and those who agree with others end up agreeing with no one.
Perceiver and perceived arising at the same moment, how can we distinguish between what is right and what is wrong? Clear and unclear in meaning, the relativity of this and that is no longer able to be a this or a that.
Infinite in both directions of being right and being wrong, the Tao clears away intelligence and stupidity.
Thinking and acting as the Tao thinks and acts in a unitarian fashion, the dualism of dualism is empty without having to be in any way empty.
Unity being the Tao and the Tao being you, what is clear and unclear in no way affects the causal agent of nothingness.
Like a monkey who is promised a different amount of nuts during various phases of the day, what difference does it make when you receive one type of dualism today and another type of dualism the next few corresponding days?
Only a monkey is a monkey; therefore, leave nature to its own devices and surf the tides of gain and loss as you would climb to a solitary tree for a better perspective on love.
Reaching somewhere, aim for nowhere. When nowhere, aim for some place other than somewhere.
Nothing can be added onto or taken away from. Because of the balanced nature of the Tao, what is missing is actually found and what is found is nowhere to be seen.
Brilliant because of being ignorant, ignore your way through being brilliant and toss aside the need to be needy of being needed.
Beginning without beginning and without ending, the end is close to what is new and what is new is in no way new.
Saying something as if I said something, say what is unsayable to be said.
The hairline on my head being greater than the hairline of a mountain, what is one is two and what is two is one. From emptiness to fullness and from fullness to balance, the Tao is the way of ways.
Outside of the universe of sages, what is discussed by the peoples is discussed by the Tao. No longer seeing left or right or up or down, the directions and distinctions that are given by the mind are confusing and enlightening.
Taking endlessness from the limitless Tao, I am never full because I am never empty.
Exhausted without tiring, the infinite speed of infinity is mine and mine alone.
Explaining everything while remaining silent, Confucius and the like cannot for the life of them understand understanding itself.
Holding the sun and the moon in each eye ball and being a unified unit in a moment's time, why frantically make yourself busy when there is nothing to do but to be yourself when you are yourself.
Dreaming of dreaming a dream that is not a dream, what does dreaming mean to you who are a figment of a dreamless dream?
Confusing sensory alertness for a perceiving consciousness, Confucius dreams that no one dreams.
Dreaming about infinity, the finite is less than real for those who are awake.
Once I was a butterfly and now I am a man. Maybe a man is a butterfly and a butterfly is a man. No longer distinguishing between self and other, I enjoy being a butterfly while being a man and I enjoy dreaming while being fully awake.
Transforming into a changeless state, what state is there but no state and what man is there but no man? As a butterfly I am free. As a man I am free. Be happy with your freedom.

We are all in an evolutionary emotional and spiritual growth cycle. No matter how satisfied and great your life has grown to be—no matter how much you are connected to the Laws of Life—you are still compelled to continue evolving.
You can say you desire more success. When you desire something you are agreeing with conditions that require sweat equity. When you talk about how life is unfair, or exude energy that is out of harmony with the thing you say you desire, you are creating resistance with the thing you desire.
When you open up and receive by being in agreement with all that is prosperous and use every means at your command to make it easy for prosperity, abundance and the free flow of life to be in your experience your emotional and spiritual journey is easier.
Open up to the flow of your own evolutionary emotional and spiritual growth cycle. ###

1. Breathe Deeply Breathing not only keeps you alive (obviously), but it helps your muscles relax and helps you keep calm. Even if you are feeling good, taking one minute today to breathe deeply and consciously will bring peace and comfort to your life.
2. Tell Yourself You Are Beautiful Okay. You might not ALWAYS believe it, but the truth is, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. You are exactly who you are meant to be and that is a beautiful thing. What is it Judy Garland said? "Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of someone else." So do it. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful.
3. Pray You don't have to be a religious person to pray. Just talking to yourself or The Universe, your angels or spirit guides, even your passed loved ones, will allow you to connect with something "bigger" than you. It will allow you to let go of your worries and ask for what you desire. Try it. It feels good.
4. Stretch Why sit on the couch watching TV or playing on Facebook when you can sit on the floor and stretch your muscles? Not only will stretching keep you flexible, but it allows your muscles to get much needed oxygen.
5. Spend Time with Someone You Enjoy Life is too short to spend time with people who aggravate you, who treat you badly, or who make your blood boil. Those people only lower your vibration. So spend time with someone who makes you laugh, makes you feel good, and who accepts you for who you are. If you can't see that person, give them a call.
6. Drink Water The Earth and your body are made of 70% water. That is a pretty impressive fact. Recharge your body and your life by making sure you are getting enough water. For today, do not drink soda, juice, alchohol, or anything other than water. Let your body regain hydration, which will reduce headaches, fatigue, and bloating.
7. Meditate You don't have to be a meditation master in order to meditate. In fact, the most important part of meditation is that you are focusing on your breath in a quiet spot. Try to keep your mind quiet, or if you are a beginning, pick 2 words that bring peace to your heart. Think one word on your inhale and the second word on the exhale. This will keep you focused. Just 5 minutes per day will bring a great amount of peace to your life.
8. Get Outside In the Northern Hemisphere, it is currently Fall. However, the benefits of being outside are so numerous, it is worth a few cold minutes. Being outside allows your energy to clear itself. Fresh air keeps your body healthy. Sunlight boosts your Vitamin D levels, which makes you naturally happy. If you can touch the Earth, you can ground your energy, which will make you feel more centered, balanced, and clear headed. What more do you need?
9. Give to Others We often do not realize how good it feels to help others. Even holding a door or smiling at a stranger can change that person's life. Let someone ahead of you at the grocery store, buy the person behind you their coffee. You will get a natural serotonin boost, which makes you feel good and happy. And they will get a boost, too. This really is a WIN/WIN situation.
10. See the Blessings in your Life Sometimes life gets so busy that we forget to thank those people in our life that get walked on or pushed to the side. Today, tell the people in your life that you are thankful for their support and love. Give them a hug. Tell them what they mean to your life. But most importantly, be thankful to YOU. Think of everything you do for yourself. Think of all the blessings in your life. Life is beautiful and the more you realize it, the more beautiful it becomes.
A few months ago amidst the escalating crescendo of information coming through my spiritual helpers, through clients consultations, and spiritual writings regarding WHAT IS GOING ON I felt the pull towards more silence so that I could translate what is being called the “shift-ascension-awakening-etc...” During the space when I was not working with clients or supporting my son’s needs I focused on transcribing my own experiences and look for greater comprehension on what this time means to me and what I have learned.
I realized I needed to settle on a word that defined to ME the process. First I WOKE-UP. After my awakening there were other facets (kundalini rising, ascension, transparency, shift to 5D, ascension symptoms, ignition of my God-ness DNA, transformation, incorporating my I AM self into my lower body). If I lingered too long in one of these definitions I realized I was limiting my self-understanding of “it” or the thing that is happening. It was not just “awakening” for example. After I woke up “it” became something else, transformation for example. Soon I would be plunged into ascension sickness then I modified “it” to be ascension.
Finally I was able to bundle it all together with cohesion. For me, “IT” is all of these things and I have settled (for now) on using the simple word of “shift.” Simply using this word caused me to release the need of verbose definitions. As I did in the opening paragraph, I found myself hyphenating several words (ascension-awakening-enlightenment-etc.) until I had something that was actually a composition of about twenty words (depending on my current experiences) strung together to make one giant word. This alone kept me in confusion.
I understood I was moving through ribbons of consciousness. There was no hierarchy since they all exist side-by-side. Image a river and the river is comprised of ribbons made of separate vibrations, frequencies, and colors. They are all in the same body of water flowing in the same direction and in cooperation but very distinct and separate from each other. Some might refer to this as realms, but ribbons of consciousness works best for “me.”
Through my awakening I experienced spontaneous attunements that changed my frequency and as I discovered allowed me passage into the various ribbons of consciousness. Sometimes I would plunge into a ribbon and fully understand the consciousness. Other times I would find myself puzzled (aka, massively confused) over what I discovered in that consciousness. I soon discovered that I was approaching the information using the intellect of my lower self and falling back on tools comprehension formed throughout my life that created, as I soon discovered, a limited belief system. The tools I possessed were antiquated and I needed to expand myself in order to gain deeper understanding. I needed to understand the process that unleashed my psychic skills that I had neatly tucked away as a child, and why. I realized I could not use the intellect of my lower-self to process the information. It was only through a “shift” in my baseline consciousness that I could transcribe the information into a format most useful to my process. Shifting my baseline consciousness was like climbing a series of stairs. Each time I took a step and raised to a new level of understanding (consciousness) I needed to rest on the stair for a while in order to integrate the information seated in the consciousness. Once I got it (or some of it) I could take another step.
Not everyone will feel the need nor have the desire to do “it” this way, but because of my path and purpose I needed to take this approach.
It has been a paradigm blasting process that moved my reality frequently. When I adjusted to a new format of myself and settled in to my new reality, I would move again.
Finally I settled into the definition of “shift” which to me indicates a “shift” in consciousness. For me it is very much an internal process. I discovered I could not go somewhere externally to get shift. I was however provided guidance and in some cases pushed into “hints” that I could use to shift, get situated, then shift some more. This was not always a blissful curriculum because it required me to process out lifetimes of energetic signatures and antiquated programs that hindered my progression. More chaos producing was the notion that I entered a curriculum without a rubric. Some days were rough as the cosmic goo oozed from my layers.
With time I realized when I allowed the process to work itself naturally new programs would show up in the space where the old programs once resided. I needed to make the “space” by ridding the old program so the new programs could take residency. There were periods where the old program had exited but the new program was not in place yet and I felt overwhelmed with fear because it was like functioning without an operating system. Eventually I understood that the existence of fear disallowed the new program from being installed. On blind faith I began to process my fears daily (sometimes hourly) so the new program could shift into place and reboot my operating system.
In each reboot came peace and more clarity. It cleansed my lens providing me greater understanding of my shift. But just as nature is in a constant state of flow and change so too is my shift.
An underlying theme through this process has been to examine how my mind was operating. In order to do this my helpers took me into a greater understanding of the Divine Mind. In this understanding it became clear to me how we DE-evolved our connection. While we may be evolving as a species, our disconnection from the Diving Mind (Source) was a de-evolution of our consciousness. In this disconnect (fall) we became clueless lost children and took on an “every man for himself” attitude and scrambled to the lifeboats. In the absence of our connection to the Divine Mind we had to begin to do something that we had not done before and that was to use the organ we define as our brain to think (scramble to lifeboat). Disconnected from Source we sort of messed up this process. We had distorted thinking that resulted in things like the production of negative though that produced EGO, that produced non-integrity…I am sure you get the picture. DE-evolution of consciousness.
This DE-evolution of consciousness provided fertile ground for people looking for domination and influence to create programs for steering the masses towards their own goals. We still see evidence of this today however; as we evolve more into our LIGHT negative agendas are RAPIDLY losing their mojo. As we claim our personal power and authority over our lives by living in TRUTH, negative agendas are becoming a thing of the past. The KEY here is to conjoin yourself with TRUTH and by nature of this process it dislodges illusion and influence (by those who put negative programs in play in the first place). If you have not yet arrived at a place where you can distinguish between (DIVINE) TRUTH and negative agendas then start by setting and intention for clarity in this area.
Do not be surprised if you soon begin to view the world circumstances, relationships, and situations with higher vision and you begin to understand a higher sense of right and wrong – NOT by someone else’s standards but defined by your internal LIGHT.
Looking through the LIGHT LENS of your INTERNAL TRUTH illuminates aspects of yourself that will rise for examination. When we do this illusionary aspects of ourselves that have been existing outside of divine authenticity will rise. In doing this you will have a greater capacity to examine these attributes (programs) and discern what is invalid. Sometimes when were are merely and simply willing and invite this process in an automatic cleanse occurs and flushes away what is not serving our higher SELF. When we do this we start seeing with more clarity. It is like cleaning your windshield so you can see where you are going.
Feelings of competition, excluding others, or needing to get a leg up on someone else (whatever form that takes) are distinct signals that JUDGMENT PROGRAMS are in play and it would serve you well to examine your connectedness to this program.
Judgment programs block greater aspects of our I AM presence from emerging through our core and spin into our essence. When we disallow this natural process to occur it keeps us rooted in negative agendas which do not SERVE our higher SELF.
If you have feelings of competition, excluding others, or needing to get a leg up on someone (romantic partners, business associates, friends, neighbors, even our children) view it like a flag going up so that we can recognize this program. This work is internal so if we are outwardly judging something outside of ourselves it is a pretty good indicator of what we are doing to ourselves internality under the illusionary guide of self-preservation. Judgment in THIS form clogs the arteries of connection to our I AM SELF.
There is a distinction between judgment and observation. Observation of people and situations provide abundant lessons. I have learned that neutral observation (outside of judgment) allows me to make healthy choices. Observation provides perspective. In this perspective we can choose what attributes of people and situations resonate with who we are and which do not.
When we take this approach it elevates our standards (frequency). As we all know (or are coming to realize) with our frequency we attract things at the same or similar frequency. If you are in competition with the world you will attract the same frequency (creating unproductive competition or short lived successes). If you are in cooperation with the world you will attract things to you in the atmosphere of cooperation. It creates a PEACE and ease and allows us to receive what truly supports or higher SELF. There are plenty of opportunities available to us and when we are in unproductive competition we limit access to productive lives (romantic, social, and professional).
I have a client in the entertainment industry. As with many industries there is healthy competition (observation and learning) and UN-healthy competition (judgment). My client was stuck in a consciousness that said in order to get the parts he wanted he needed to come from an abrasive (got to get a leg up on my competition) perspective. This consciousness was sending out a frequency that contained signals (messages) that there were not enough quality parts to go around. The atmosphere around him was manifesting that reality for him. When we examined this program a bell went off for him. He took some time and examined this judgment program. When he moved from competition to cooperation consciousness parts started to open for him and within production companies that resonated with who he was. He realized his greatest competition was not the other actors, but him. This competition was hidden in his judgment program.
My 10-year old son plays travel baseball. I have watched how he approaches the sport and learned a great deal from how he handles himself. He loves the sport and wants to improve his playing skills. I see him observing players that are more skilled than he is. I asked why he chooses certain players to watch and learn from and why he disregards other skilled players. One day I asked him about his choices and he told me so and so is a good player but he does not respect other players. He went on to say that the couple of boys are concerned only with being better than everyone else and the expense to the rest of the team. He intuitively picked up judgment programs of other 10-year old boys.
My takeaway is this… Find a definition that works for you to anchor you in what is going on. (Be prepared that as you evolve, your definition may also.) Sit with the idea that when you feel in a judgment verses observation (learning) competition with something or someone else it is a signal to look at your programs. If you recognize that you are operating from any kind of judgment program and have no inkling on how to begin to shift from it look for a statement or prayer that chooses LIGHT. By simply making the statement that “I choose LIGHT” when anxiety rises (a clear sign of unhealthy competition that says you need to “get a leg up” on someone else) you will begin to bring more LIGHT filled situations to you that support your life with greater ease. At times the EASE may simply feel like we are NOT being sucked into the sludge of chaos. Stopping that “suck” will have a stabilizing effect allowing you to regroup and begin moving again.
Making the lower-conscious choice to be LIGHT (especially in the face of chaos) has a cleansing effect that allows you more clarity.
When we choose LIGHT it sends a signal that we no longer resonate with negative agendas and we build immunity to those programs and influences. When we do this the powerful manifestation energy in play right now will start to work in your favor. Manifestation energy is at an all-time high right now and our higher SELF, in ITS infinite wisdom, understands if we operate from the old patterns of thought and creation we have the potential to manifest unfavorable things in our lives. As a result of this there is a kind of “administrative valve” around us that limits some of the manifestation energy so we do not miss-create. When we clear the old programs of THOUGHT and JUDGMENT of self and others (that produce what we do not want in our lives) the valve is opened and our I AM presence emerges bringing greater LOVE-PEACE-HARMONY to us.
As we integrate more LOVE-PEACE-HARMONY frequency into our lower-selves (emotional-mental-physical bodies) we alter our baseline consciousness and increase our ability to bring in more LOVE-PEACE-HARMONY. This creates a wave that carries us forward into whatever YOUR definition of “IT” happens to be.
We are all here for the same reason. To get “IT.” We are doing it at our own pace and to specific degrees. Some will not even know they did “IT” while others are fully aware of the process. “IT” is not an exclusive club, open to an elite or preselected few, but rather to anyone. When we realize we can do “IT” in cooperation with others it makes for a smoother ride.
One a day I was struggling especially hard with the process so I sat with my helpers and asked what to do? What could I do to help myself more easily cross the bridge from my old consciousness to my new consciousness? I could sense a profound and helpful answer was in the pipeline making its way towards me and I was stunned by what came forward. The answer was, “Make a gratitude list.” The advice seemed too simple for such a “complicated” process. The stunned silence was actually me questioning my guidance and when I did this it created an opening for my EGO to rear itself. As soon as I did this ego-based thought took wing and began flying around making statements like, “Really? You want me to make a gratitude list?” It came from a small perspective that viewed the process as sort of “Spirituality 101” and felt like going back to kindergarten while I was cramming for my PHD. I checked these thoughts and realized they truly did not resonate with me. I laughed remembering how much fun I had in kindergarten (playing) verses higher education of dull studying. So I jumped in and grabbed a pen and notebook.
After a few statements an easy feeling came over me and my helpers said, “See?” I immediately understood this action in relation to changing the patterns of my thoughts. We have come to rely on external aspects whether through technology, studying someone else’s translation, or checkout because of our relation to the material world that our brains sort of go on the fritz. If we stop paying attention we let the noise of the world influence our thoughts. When we create our thoughts in response to the world we are not taking personal ownership of our thoughts and what we really want. To be in alignment with our TRUTH and REMEMBER who we are is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.
By making a gratitude list and reading it in the morning, periods throughout the day, and before going to sleep it RE-FRESHES my THOUGHTS. When I read my list it flushes out the mental debris that gets me off course to “IT.” When I refresh my thoughts I come more in line with my higher SELF. I quickly recognized that the administrative value opened and I was manifesting more of what I wanted in my life. My higher SELF really does know what she is doing. When I surrender to SOURCE and when I move away from things like JUDGMENT programs it moves be towards PEACE.
The other part to doing this NOW is the cosmic timing. Shifting our thoughts NOW will serve us in the very near future.
As we move greater into this wave and you feel a bit whompy try one of the following things.
1. Find a word that defines “IT.” (Shift, awakening, DNA conversion, enlightenment, remembering). When you do this it validates the process and provides a platform to do your work. 2. Transition from JUDGMENT programs. (JUDGMENT programs are just as dismantling as FEAR programs!) 3. RE-program your thought process using a gratitude list and RE-fresh your thoughts frequently. When you refresh your thoughts it disengages you from creating in an environment of negative agendas. Remember we must be in agreement with how we create. In our sleeping states some of us plugged into the agendas and it just takes a simple intention to unplug. Create a “refresh” button and push it each time you have a negative or unproductive though. Doing this will pull up the energy of your gratitude (manifestation) list. If you find yourself in a really whompy moment simply repeating the mental statement, “I choose LIGHT,” can be very helpful. 4. Take a mini-break from searching for the latest and greatest bit of technology, book, spiritual practice, or healing modality. In that break call in guidance from your higher SELF and see how that looks. If things have become too noisy and you are having trouble making the connection pray, chant, or meditate. Sometimes talking this out with a trusted friend, healing practitioner, or spiritual counselor can help you get situated. Then breathe and resume.
Remember things not aligned with higher frequency are shaking free so there is opportunity to be cleansed. Contracts are being reset and we are being offered the choice to stay on the karmic wheel or get off. We are being offered blank canvases to recreate our lives in harmony with the LIGHT. Choose what you want to put on the canvas (what you want to be in your reality) by RE-freshing your thoughts frequently.
Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future. ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There are times when the goddess within, finds the simplicity of reflection and the company of her Elders to be all that is necessary... The sagittarian moon brought with it, a time for inner work. Though we were in the company of loved ones, they had their own healing to do also. This waxing moon brings with it fresh perspective, as the yesterdays seem not so illuminated now. The transparency of the World takes on new meaning with such clarity..as we learn more about ourselves, through each transaction with one another.
So for like a month or better it seems like I have woke up not feeling very good. Anxiety has woken me up like a clap of thunder inside me. I have a ton going through my head so mabie that has a lot to do with my emotions. I very thankfully have a special loved one who talks me through it every morning. Just tired of this controlling my feelings and my moods. I am on meds to help but guess I will have to call the doc. I try to meditate but my anxiety wont let my head clear enough. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I think mine is just possibly a life change. IM not sad just the anxiety is more like a panic attack. Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving in the U.S. and sending lots of love.
The beginning of last week had its challenges. As Mercury moved over the Eclipse point again (last Tuesday), I had to address some communication issues I have been experiencing in connection with a project of mine. It became very clear that I needed to speak my truth and communicate my frustrations, so I could have more clarity moving forward. I felt a tremendous connection to the power of my feelings and my words ;-) Trusting my strong instincts, without needing to attack anything or anyone in the process, was a powerful learning experience.
This week's headline items are: Mercury stations, to go direct (ending its retrograde phase) on Monday afternoon; a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse Wednesday morning; a 37-hour Moon void of course (VoC) starting Wednesday evening; Venus moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (22 degrees of Scorpio) on Sunday.
We start this week with the Moon in steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will remain until Tuesday evening. With the Moon in Taurus, we are motivated by the desire for serenity, security, peace, comfort. The Moon is at her most sensual and constant in Taurus. Our basic impulses are to relax, resist change, get comfortable -- life… slows… down. We may also be stubborn and materialistic under this influence. As best as you can, stop and smell the roses during this time. Enjoy life and what it has to offer ;-)
Monday is an eventful day, starting with a harmonious Sun/Uranus aspect, exact at 9:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday on; it will be strong until this Friday. An original, unique approach to life is in order with this transit. Flexibility is the key to success at this time, and pleasant changes are in store. We may make some creative changes and discoveries, experiment with new possibilities, or invent a new way of doing things. This is a dynamic and exciting period, when taking advantage of unusual or unconventional opportunities may reap rewards. How can you connect to what's unique about you and express it with authenticity and pride? Watch out for messages from the Universe
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 1-8 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will feel more blessed by this planetary connection than otherwise.
A challenging Sun/Chiron aspect, exact at 4:45pm EST on Monday, asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday on; it will be strong until this Friday. Here, we might feel less confident about who we are, and have a hard time projecting a social front. Our adventurous mind and wounded feelings may be out of harmony with each other. As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or "less than". It is perfectly ok to have feelings and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 2-9 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.
Mercury comes to halt on Monday at 5:48pm EST and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. For the next couple of days, we might experiences delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel "off" or stagnant. Maybe give yourself some extra time to get ready or to go somewhere (especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive). As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury goes direct.
Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets in 15-22 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius or Leo.
When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Wednesday), we will be ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.
As you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a couple of weeks ago. If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it's best to avoid the shadow periods, before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items you are thinking about getting are connected to transportation (cars, flight tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, i-pad, etc.) This time around, the shadow phase will end on Dec. 14th.
We enter a 24-hour Moon void of course (VoC) on Monday evening (from 7:57pm EST until 7:58pm EST Tuesday). Use this intuitive time to find a balance between what's important to you (especially what brings you material safety), and sharing yourself on a deeper, more intimate level with others -- sharing your resources. As best as you can, go with the flow and avoid digging in your heels ;-)
The last aspect on Monday: Venus aligns with Saturn, exact at 8:19pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday on; it will be strong until this Friday. This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships and the things we most value. Relationships feel stable and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.
We experience a new sense of realism in existing partnerships. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to a "cause" or loved one. We are ready to face any problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet -- and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends or lovers are possible, as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to start a brand-new relationship.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 3-10 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius or Leo? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.
Also on Tuesday the Moon remains Void of Course in peaceful, steady Taurus until 7:58pm EST (see Monday for details).

Today is my birthday and I’m 45 years old. This seems like an old age – not because of the number or because I’m worried about “ageing”. It seems old because I have lived all of this time away from you, alone. Even when I wasn’t alone I was empty without your Light and Love around me, through me, and inside of me. I don’t know all there is to know by far but I know one thing and it’s this: If I volunteered to Live a Life without you in it I know that this is a Life that is filled with a void. I AM Grateful for the task you have given me so that I could once again know your Love and seek your Wisdom. For there is no LIFE without LOVE, there is no journey worth taking if you are not there to walk with me. I will never want to undertake such a mission again of my own free will but if I suit my purpose in your Love and Light there is nothing I wouldn’t do if you require it of me. I just humbly ask that I be free from the chains of not knowing you for the rest of my journeys as I now understand the nothingness – the emptiness of a Life lived without Unconditional Love. Humanity does not know how to Live without you and this has now been proven beyond a doubt, to me. Please continue to bring me closer to HOME and my purpose. Please bring all of your Divine Power inside of me so that I may continue to laugh and play with you and the beauty you reveal that never ceases to Amaze me. How can you be so Magnificent and yet not be Seen with Love, Joy, and Awe by so many? The Earthly Love I have learned to receive is giving me strength and confidence so that my Heart is bursting with LOVE. This LOVE energy, your energy is inside of my SOUL and it tingles with anticipation for when I will See you again. Today is a special day, not because it’s my birthday but because you have Amazed me with your Gifts yet again. There is so much LOVE here, so much I have yet to understand…but I understand this: I AM Blessed beyond measure. As you continue to teach me and I continue to grow stronger I will always act from that which I come. I AM your Angel who comes from the purest, most Brilliant Light of a LOVE so deep and meaningful it has yet to be fully comprehended. I AM your Angel who wishes to be of service if you would so graciously accept my promise to be One with you. Please understand that on Earth I AM your strong and delicate Angel who weeps with compassion for the unnecessary pain of a Life lost without your presence – for you are LIFE and without you is emptiness. I AM your Heart that shines with your Light. I AM your Soul which is Powerful with LOVE. I AM your vessel on this Mother Earth and I ask you to shape me with your Divine Light so that I may SEE you, feel you, hear you, touch you, smell you, breath you, and taste you. I AM your daughter in the Moonlight and your daughter of the Earth. I cherish you with ALL that I AM and I LOVE you with ALL that I AM. I AM your mother Angel who has many Hearts. My Hearts are everywhere because on my 1st birthday I have outgrown the already over-sized Heart you gave me. Your Hearts are everywhere because you are the very definition of LOVE. I AM so Grateful for all that I have been given today. Today is my birthday but only because you have breathed LIFE into my Soul. I See You, I AM Seen, I AM Alive, and I AM Awake.

By and large, Sagittarians are known for their concern for the welfare of others and can be wonderful in helping out family and friends who may be down on their luck. They are natural philosophers who genuinely care about the issues going on in today’s world. Sagittarians are also adventurous and enjoy socializing and fun parties. This duality can sometimes put them at odds with themselves.
Topaz is one stone that is usually associated with Sagittarians. Yellow / Golden Topaz is one of the birthstones for November (a Sagittarian birthday month). Turquoise is December’s primary birthstone, however blue topaz is considered an alternate December birthstone.
Topaz comes in several colors: clear, blue, golden/yellow, green, multi-colored, orange, peach, pink, red, rutilated and sheet. With the exception of sheet topaz (very pale blue to very pale green) which is for another fiery sign (Leo), all topaz resonates with Sagges.
Generally, Sagittarians are more spiritually oriented than money oriented. (Although I have to say that I do know many successful Sagittarians.) Their fiery and idealistic temperament can involve them with unrealistic or impractical aspirations and pursuits that are unfounded or “way out.”
TOPAZ TO THE SAGITTARIAN RESCUE…..
According to “Melody”, topaz is “the stone of true love and success in all endeavors.”
Here are some words that apply to the various Sagittarian topaz: strength, courage, wisdom, spirituality, psychic gifts, communication and mental enhancement and clarity, manifestation of personal intention, will and desires
WHY BLUE TOPAZ IS PARTICULARLY BENEFICIAL TO SAGITTARIANS.…
The inspiring rays of topaz will show a way forward and help provide a new perspective with what you are trying to accomplish. When you have lost your way, place the blue topaz on your 3rd eye and allow its vibrant energy to move you in a new direction, providing the light to find the right and true path.
Other Cool Benefits: creativity, clarity, forgiveness, positive thoughts and affirmations, achieving our own desires
Some Health Perks: good for thyroid, throat issues, regenerates tissue, promotes good digestion.
Many years ago William LePar had a near death experience (NDE). It took him several years before he could talk about it and even more time before he began to explain some of the more involved experiences. He said that it was necessary for him to think and attempt to fully understand the experience before he could try explain it to others. Some aspects of it were almost beyond physical understanding and explanation. I hope that you find these thoughts interesting.
Mr. LePar: "A death experience is a very beautiful experience but it’s not a fantasy. Not everything is roses on the other side. When you cross over you are going to have a period of time where you are indoctrinated into your state of existence. That’s the best way to describe it, because we are so tied to this physical that once we leave it, it’s like, 'gee we are in a whole new world.' We don’t even realize that’s where we originated from. That’s how heavy the earthly experience is, the physical experience is, so when you initially cross over it’s like, 'my God it’s a whole new thing.' We are surprised that we run into members of our family that are deceased. Well, what did you expect? Sure, my mother is not really my mother on the spiritual side as she is just another soul that I negotiated a contract with. She agreed to be my mother in my physical life, but in that negotiation and in that relationship, you do develop real true feelings and interests in the souls that you have worked with. So when you cross over initially you are going to have that same feeling of a mother or a father that you had when they were alive, when you were together alive, but that’s short lived. You are awakened to the fact that yes, that soul cares about you because of your interaction but that soul really isn’t your mother or your father."
Audience: Does that soul care for you more because you had that relationship than another soul that you didn’t have a relationship with?
Mr. LePar: "It’s not a question of if they care more for you than someone else. It’s a different form of caring. Once you get on the other side you understand there’s only one kind of love period. Love is love, but there are a number of ways or situations in which we express that love. It’s all equal. It’s just different ways or different situations. When you are talking about parents, that love that you feel for them and they feel for you, is just the same love that they feel for someone else that they had nothing to do with as far as a relationship. Some things are very hard to explain because we are not capable of thinking or understanding the way it is on the other side. It’s like when people say 'What about time?' There’s no such thing as time. You have experiences and they have nothing to do with time. My near death experience lasted 15 minutes. I have said this many times, it was like living 3 months on the other side, living 24 hours a day, never sleeping. How could you not sleep? There was no sleep. I can’t say to you that I talked to so and so for 20 minutes, because there is no 20 minutes. There’s no time. It was an experience but in trying to translate all the things that I experienced, all I can do is say it was like I was over there 3 months and never had time to sleep. I was going 24 hours a day. It’s hard to comprehend because the material state is so ingrained in us that we can’t comprehend anything other than this.
Now this is my feeling, my personal interpretation. The traveling through the tunnel is a symbolic form of moving from the heavy to the light. When I say light I am not talking about light as far as brightness. I am talking as far as state of existence. I think it’s something that is a symbolic resurrection, if you want to call it that, to help us leave behind and raise the consciousness to 'hey, we are in a new place here, a new way of thinking, a new way of living, a new way of experiencing.'”

When a soul extension has spent the needed amount of time resting and reviewing the recent life, he will begin planning for his next incarnation. He chooses his parents, brothers, and sisters, educational opportunities, male or female body, country, skin color, and the astrological configuration to be born into. This is all decided upon by the soul extension, the soul, and higher teachers and guides.
Very often there can be many soul extensions desiring one particular mother. When there is this type of conflict, there is a kind of heavenly computer that immediately decides which soul extension is best suited and best able to achieve its appointed goals.
The true trauma is not death, but birth. A free spirit has now come back into the confines of a physical body that is not even developed yet. Death is a piece of cake for anyone who has the slightest inkling of spiritual belief. A crib death occurs when the soul extension comes into the physical body and then changes his mind for some reason and returns back to spirit. The more obstacles the soul extension has chosen, the greater the opportunity for spiritual growth and to pay off karmic debts.

As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; You shall be comforted in Jerusalem. (Hebrew Bible, Isaiah 66.13)
Wisdom (Sophia) cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice... (Book of Proverbs, 1:20, Hebrew Bible)
Just now my mother, the Holy Spirit, took me by one of my hairs and brought me to Tabor, the great mountain. (Jesus in, The Gospel of the Hebrews. Note: "ruach" is a Hebrew word for spirit and is feminine)
I rested on the Spirit of the Lord, and She lifted me up to heaven. (Odes of Solomon, 36: 1, James Charlesworth translation, Jewish Christian psalms)
A cup of milk was offered to me, and I drank it in the sweetness of the Lord's kindness. The Son is the cup, and the Father is He who was milked; and the Holy Spirit is She who milked Him; Because His breasts were full, and it was undesirable that His milk should be ineffectually released. The Holy Spirit opened Her bosom, and mixed the milk of the two breasts of the Father. Then She gave the mixture to the generation without their knowing, and those who have received it are in the perfection of the right hand. The womb of the Virgin took it, and she received conception and gave birth. So the Virgin became a mother with great mercies. And she labored and bore the Son but without pain, because it did not occur without purpose. And she did not require a midwife, because He caused her to give life. (Odes of Solomon, 19: 1-9, James Charlesworth translation, Jewish Christian psalms)
Three powers came forth from him; they are the Father, the Mother, (and) the Son, from the living silence, what came forth from the incorruptible Father. These came forth from the silence of the unknown Father. (Gospel of the Egyptians, Gnostic Gospel, Nag Hammadi Library)
Behold, I have revealed to you the name of the Perfect One, the whole will of the Mother of the Holy Angels, that the masculine multitude may be completed here, that there might appear in the aeons, the infinities and those that came to be in the untraceable wealth of the Great Invisible Spirit.... (The Book of the Sophia of Jesus Christ, Gnostic Gospel, Nag Hammadi Library)
For I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin. I am the mother and the daughter. I am the members of my mother. I am the barren one and many are her sons. I am she whose wedding is great, and I have not taken a husband. I am the midwife and she who does not bear. I am the solace of my labor pains. I am the bride and the bridegroom, and it is my husband who begot me. I am the mother of my father and the sister of my husband and he is my offspring. I am the slave of him who prepared me. I am the ruler of my offspring. But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday. And he is my offspring in (due) time, and my power is from him. I am the staff of his power in his youth, and he is the rod of my old age. And whatever he wills happens to me. I am the silence that is incomprehensible and the idea whose remembrance is frequent. I am the voice whose sound is manifold and the word whose appearance is multiple. I am the utterance of my name........ I am the hearing that is attainable to everything; I am the speech that cannot be grasped. I am the name of the sound and the sound of the name. (Thunder, Perfect Mind, Gnostic Gospel, Nag Hammadi Library)
The Radhasoami Faith recognizes three Grand Personages and a sincere and affectionate disciple the fourth, namely,

Love, the divine Principle, is the Father and Mother of the universe, including man. (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science)
Mother Earth have pity on us and give us food to eat! Father, the Sun, bless all our children and may our paths be straight! (Native American Religions. Blackfoot Prayer)
O Mother of Imupa, advocate for the whole [feminine] world! What a remarkable Mother I have! O Mother, a pillar, a refuge! O Mother, to whom all prostrate in greeting Before one enters her habitation! I am justly proud of my Mother. O Mother who arrives, Who arrives majestic and offers water to all! (African Traditional Religions. Yoruba Prayer, Nigeria)
The Valley Spirit never dies. It is named the Mysterious Female. And the Doorway of the Mysterious Female Is the base from which sprang Heaven and Earth. It is there within us all the while; Draw upon it as you will, it never runs dry. (Tao Te Ching 6, Taoism)
Divine Mother, with the language of my soul I demand realization of Thy presence. Thou art the essence of everything. Make me see Thee in every fiber of my being, in every wisp of thought. Awaken my heart!
Divine Mother, open wide the bud of my devotion and release its fragrance, that it may spread from my soul to the souls of all others, ever whispering of Thee.
Divine Mother, I have heard Thy voice whispering in the fragrance of the rose. I touched Thy tenderness in the softness of the lily. In the whispers of my devotion, it was Thy love that answered.
In the temple of my earthly mother's love I will worship the incarnated love of the Divine Mother.
Cosmic Mother, take this darkness away! When I sit with eyes closed, enveloped in self-created shadows, cause Thou to blaze upon me in splendor the aurora of intuition.
In the hall of creation, 0 Divine Mother, everywhere I hear the rhythm of Thy foot-steps, dancing wildly in the booming thunder and softly in the song of atoms.
I laugh at all fears, for my Father-Mother, beloved God, is attentively awake and present everywhere with the deliberate purpose of protecting me from the temptations of evil. (verses from, Metaphysical Meditations, by Paramhansa Yogananda, SRF Books)
The thundering resonance of the Word has liberated me while living - Now I am entitled to serve the Lord! How can I ever repay you, 0 my benefactor? You are my Mother, you are my Father, you are my generous Lord. (Sant Namdev)
TO YOU the Lord we pray. Soul and body are your gifts to us. You are the Mother, and the Father, We are your children, With your grace, There are countless blessings. (Guru Arjan, Adi Granth, Sukhmani Sahib)
With hands joined in prayer I beseech you, Radhasoami, to listen to my supplication. You are the true Lord, my benevolent Master! You are Father, you are Mother, you are the Creator of all beings. Be merciful to me, accept me and set me free from the snare of Kal. (Swami Ji Maharaj, Sar Bachan Poetry)
Thou art my beloved Mother, Thou art my only shelter; I long for Thee, I await Thy arrival, 0 Lord. Thou alone art my Father, Thou alone my loving Son, Thou art my closest Friend and Relative. My heart and my soul I lay At Thy lotus feet, 0 Lord. The whole creation without Thee, Says Tuka is a barren desert. (Sant Tukarama, Gatha. 2607)
Thou art our kind and affectionate Mother, O God, and bearest all our burdens. We know no fear, nor any anxiety......I cannot know the night from day, and the unceasing illumination exists at all times. (Sant Tukarama)
Thou art our merciful Mother, O Vitthala, a shadow to thy suppliant; the milk of love ever flows in thy breast, thy sight is pure and sweet as nectar. O Mother Vitthala is like a cool shadow; her breast is ever filled with love; seated in her lap I shall seek her bosom and drink as much as I desire. 0 yield the milk of thy mercy and nourish my frame; a stream of nectar flows from thee. My spirit cannot contain this joy; what is the whole sea compared to it? (Sant Tukarama)

The beginning of last week had its challenges. As Mercury moved over the Eclipse point again (last Tuesday), I had to address some communication issues I have been experiencing in connection with a project of mine. It became very clear that I needed to speak my truth and communicate my frustrations, so I could have more clarity moving forward. I felt a tremendous connection to the power of my feelings and my words ;-) Trusting my strong instincts, without needing to attack anything or anyone in the process, was a powerful learning experience.
