Greetings Andy,

I went through a lot of changes just in pondering the coming
earth changes.  I went through the fear stage, the fascination stage
and am now at peace with the whole thing.  I believe the best thing
I can do to prepare for the earth changes is to LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION.
Especially to my inner guidance.  It also helps to resolve any old issues
once and for all.  Carrying around old baggage tends to cloud our
vision of what to do next.

Focus on what you want. Why are the earth changes of concern? What do
you want to experience?  If the focus is on SURVIVAL then your actions
will be from a limited perspective. If the focus is on JOYFUL LIFE,
here and now, then your inner guidance will always lead you to do
what's right for you - from an unlimited perspective.

I intend to have fun during the earth changes!  Just think of the
miracles and awesome events we'll see in the near future!

Namaste,
Jeffery

There is a growing number of artists (ie Enya, Clannad, Capercaillie etc)
which do not seem to comfortably fit in either "Traditional" "folk" "rock"
or "instrumental" sections. How about starting a new naming convention
and calling these "New Celtic"  - that's two hard C's in Celtic, not a 
soft C like the football or basketball teams. We could start using this
convention here and see who takes it up...

   I don't get it.

   Why, when we are already so caught up in the trap of creating our
own reality do we need even more tools to create even more of our
own reality?

   My desires are not to create my own reality, but to attune more and
more to the realities that life itself has to offer. I desire the intimacy 
of that union. I've found out that the very thing that has kept me from
that attunement is the focus "I" have put in creating my own reality.
So why create even more? I don't get it. It just takes me away from the 
very thing what I desire most.

   Because postings will not go out to the world from my site with

Why does the rotational axis shift?  More importantly, since the axis
is shifting all the time anyway (precession takes 25 ky, and there are
numerous wobbles on top of it -- wobbles which are easily detected by
astronomers) what causes _this_ shift and why does it behave differently
from the normal shifts?

>Let me get this right - something happens that has difficulty influencing a

Actually, I can think of one scenario that would fit:  a massive meteor
strike could shift the rotational axis.  Of course, any strike that large
wouldn't leave us around to worry about it.

Another scenario would be a close pass of the moon.  Due to tidal forces,
it would have an incredible effect on fault zones.  That leaves the question
of what would cause the moon to change orbit.

Of course, that raises the question of why the prediction is for a
"slight rotational shift" instead of the cause of that event.

Saul of Tarsus was a semi-educated tentmaker. One day a  blinding
light  appeared  in the daylight sky. The men with  him  reported
hearing  a voice, but saw nothing. Saul was blinded for  3  days.
Later  Saul  changed  his  name  to  Paul  and  gave  up  killing
Christians  to  be  one,  even though he  never  met  Christ.  He
believed  that voice he had heard was that of Christ's.  You  can
read  him  accounts in Acts 9. Acts 22 and Acts 26  in  your  own
Bible. Such phenomenon happen hundreds or maybe even thousands of
times  each  year.  Some  of these  witnesses  also  suffer  from

when he accurately predicted the fall of Jerusalem, they  started
to  listen. One day in June of his 30th year Ezekiel saw what  he
describes   as  a  glowing  cloud  with  a  light  that   flashed
continually  and  in  the centre was something  that  shone  like
polished  brass. Out of this UFO he saw four humanoids appear  in
vehicle  with four wheels with spokes that moved with  them.  And
going up and down were four other bright lights that dashed about
like lightening. Then God appeared to him in a metalic suit  that
shone  like  polished brass who gave him something  to  eat  that
tasted  sweet.  He was then abducted for seven  days.  When  they
left, the machines made the noise of an Earthquake.

Ironically, many of Enya's songs are traditional chruch hymns. Check
out
her album, "Shepherd Moons". I have been told by many Christian friends
that
some of the songs on the album they sing in church.

In other words, Tommy, your Christian friends were talking through their
hats. If they specifically set out to condemn New Age music because it
promotes "New Age" religion, they are wrong, pure and simple. It's most
likely a knee jerk reaction to the name.

The rotational axis shifts so slightly that our instruments have difficulty 
measuring it.  A series of earth quakes is triggered all over the world, even
in places the don't normally get them, lasting several days.  In some places,
power is out.  In some, communication is down.  In some, transportation is
difficult.  Piles of rain and flooding attempt to clean out the volcanic ash in
the atmosphere which blocks out much sun.  Arctic air sweeps over the globe,
causing wind storms and making the planet cold enough that no food grows for a
couple of seasons.  I guess I am also thinking of the smaller quakes and storms
leading up to this event and succeeding it.

I was wondering what people might be planning in terms of:

food storage
ability to grow food afterward
sources of heat
sources of power/electricity
all around fun
surrounding yourselves with other happy survivors
what else?

Well my dearest friend, I don't know what the plan is. But let's embark 
on an attempt to check this thing out, call it OPERATION VERIFY WINSTON 
(OVW). 

Where should OVW consist of, well I got a great idea, as a group we are

John to provide us with the coordintes of both the Puerto entrance as the 
Spanish one, I happen to dwell in Europe and am in the lucky position to 
own a chevy S10 Blazer (beter as any Range). Now I would be willing to 
get into my vehicle and drive to the Spanish side while an expedition 
team from the good ol' US of A does the same thing from the Puerto side.
We will than meet in the center of the tunnel, and have a hell of a party 
during which we will solemly swear never to flame our friend John again.

Well John, it is all up to you now, please don't foul this one up, I just 
love parties!!!!!!!!!

Actually, what I found most peculiar about Canadians and politeness

This may eventually have an evolutionary effect on the species, producing

Is Benoit (or Barnett) enlightened?  However you answer you (and they)
