I usually have a smile on my face, a calm and positive composure and an ongoing love affair with the Divine. Many of us genuinely feel this way. Looking at us no one would know how concerned we are for the life of the planet and the planet itself. We live as if everything is okay; it is not. I realize that I have chosen denial to hide my sorrow for what is to come. Large numbers of us have experienced intuitive visions and dreams of changes that will occur on earth altering, destroying and changing what is known to the unknown. It is common for humans to feel that they are invincible and that disruptions that forever change what is considered normal will not happen during our life time or if they actually do, they won't happen to us.
The ancient teachings speak of cosmic cycles. We who live currently on earth are living in the last 25,000 period of a 75,000 year cycle. If we would choose to live as love, light and dedicate our energy toward service, we can eliminate much of the suffering that is showing its face on our precious earth. Some of us have been given visions of what will happen. I have in the past chosen to be silent except for rare occasions. I do believe that there are those of us who can alleviate much of what is predicted if we step out of denial. This is what I am doing right now by sharing feelings with you. We who have gifts of the spirit must use the gifts for the protection and the good of others. I have often written about how I feel humanity is ready for a higher evolutionary step. We can actually achieve the next step by remembering our true identity as spirit in form, be firm in our understanding and bring in more light and love into every day relationships and situations whether they be global or personal.
If you have a desire to serve others and eventually become a genuine healer, you must learn how to absorb the energy of intelligent infinity, Source. You need to be willing to train in thought, word and action how to gain understanding and balance. The mind must know itself and discipline must be used in the care of the body. Understanding is about the balance between love and wisdom in the use of the body in its natural functions. I mention this fact because I have known many wonderful people who have wanted to help others through the transfer of their own energy as well as reaching upward to Source who have become ill as they attempt to help another.
For a server to help others, he must also serve himself. Your spirit, higher Self, will integrate your desire to reach upward if you integrate your mind/body energy with the love of God, the down pouring of infinite intelligence. To be healed and to be a healer requires a constant exercise of the discipline of understanding and sustaining balance.
The greatest service we can offer is offering of self to Creator. Everything that exists has behind it the energy of Light. To be healed and become a healer, impress your light and every other manifestation with love. The best way to be of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to your inner and true Self. Radiate the essence of the heart of your mind/body/spirit. Ill health is caused by imbalances which are a subtle mismatch of energies, distortions in consciousness. When you attempt to activate higher energies make certain that you have cleared the lower energy centers of both your subtle and dense fields. When the idea is awakened within you to be healed and to heal, it is love and understanding for self and toward others that evolves into a firm conscious realization of oneness that so many seek.
A good example of the simple conclusions that I understand regarding the subject of healing involve a readiness, deep faith, a sense of self-worth and unconditional love. A good example: A friend, his wife and son made an hours’ drive to our home one Sunday afternoon. We had planned to visit a local outdoor art show. When my family walked out to his car, the husband was slumped backward in the rear seat of the car. His wife had driven. I opened his door and asked him about his discomfort. He painfully explained that he had a spine condition that periodically would cause him such pain that he couldn't sit or stand. The only reason that his wife agreed to drive him the distance was his belief that if I touched him he would be healed. Our friend is not a Christian, nor am I a member of any organized church. We simply have a strong faith, love and trust in our hearts.
I asked Sandy if he could possibly sit up a bit with his back toward me and I would remain standing right outside the door but yet close enough to lay my hands on him. Perhaps, five minutes elapsed and our dear friend turned around and demanded whether I had hypnotized him. I asked him why in the world he would think that I had hypnotized him. He was magically healed. Sandy assumed that I had to have done something unusual besides the working of his deep faith in being healed and my role as a healing catalyst. Healers are catalysts. We are givers of hope, healing and infinite possibilities. Whether the receivers are fully open to embrace the energy is totally related to individual readiness to accept wholeness. Our friend obviously was ready, had an unwavering faith and desired to honor himself so he could live a quality life free of fear of a reoccurring and disabling attack. Instant healing appears to be the exception rather than the rule because too many humans are riddled with subconscious distortions as well as conscious erroneous beliefs. We are unconditionally loved by Source. The ‘catch’ is not everyone loves or honors themselves. Once we genuinely accept love/light/service are the prime ingredients for our peace and happiness, we give ourselves an opportunity to be transformed and live as true children of God.
Truth is right in front of us. Actually, it is quite simple. Degrees are not required, nor lectures, gurus or workshops. They may support our journey but are not the inner science that can be proven over and over again. The science I am referring to is the science of understanding...unconditional love for self, others, all life, earth and our Creator~
According to theosophy, the pineal is an important psycho-physiological center or chakra and is the source of clairvoyance and intuition. It has also been described as "the principal seat of the soul," and the portal to the higher dimensions. The pineal, or third eye, provides perception beyond ordinary sight.
The great Himalayan Masters practiced activation of the inner power by gazing at the rising Sun. Our workshop is similar with one exception...we gaze at our inner Sun and consciously love and give it the attention required to rise on its own right here in matter~
For those of you who would like the treasure of your own copy of my new release, 'Circle of Light - Revisited', I will have a few copies with me.
I have had firsthand proof strongly impact me all my life in the areas of consciousness and the many levels of being. Scripture states "For it is by faith that we walk and not by sight." You cannot help but admire people who believe yet continue to suffer without experiencing proof of their faith. Evidently, somewhere in my journey I began to consciously experience the mystery. There have been countless examples where I have proven what an understanding consciousness can actually achieve. For example, a stranger living in my city unexpectedly called me one night asking that I come immediately to her home and heal her uncle who was visiting. The elderly gentleman was expected to lead a weekend workshop in the study of human consciousness. I did not know the man, nor his name or anything about him or how his relative found out how to contact me.
I immediately went to the indicated location and was led to a man reclining in bed. It wasn't until later that I discovered that he was an American physician/scientist/author/lecturer and a leading pioneer in the study of human consciousness. He was also a man shrouded in mystery. All I knew was that I received a call to help and that is exactly what I did. The home he was visiting for the weekend was already filled with people who had paid to attend his workshop. All I remember being told is that the 'patient' felt as if he had been poisoned and was too weak to offer his workshop. The man staring at me in bed never said a word and neither did I. Later, I learned that the gentleman was famous and also had traveled all over the world studying 'healers' for scientific purposes.
Why do I mention this particular example of faith? Both the giver and receiver understood that the real magic is the art of strengthening and demonstrating that thread of inner strength within. There are many now who are ready to consciously live their inner environment of faith. Evolution is both physical and metaphysical, not only of the body but also of the spirit. Although science has not typically recognized enough dimensions, this is slowly changing. Souls who grasp the important concept of reincarnation understand how an individual continues to evolve through numerous and varied experiences. Not only is there life after death, there is life prior to birth. Accept and understand this truth and realize that we are in the body to advance the evolution of mankind. Egyptian priests understood the concept of a continuing life and that the consciousness of an individual continued to live was true as does two-thirds of the world's population accept an ongoing existence in one form or another. Although the Judea-Christian culture are not as open about this truth, scripture has references to Paul in the Epistles writing about the difference between the human body and the spiritual body. There are other references that have not been removed by manipulative authority figures.
Life can be magical if we consciously interiorize experience by accepting responsibility for all that occurs. Faith increases our vibration. Meditation, deep thought, unity and a desire for spiritual awareness raises our vibration. Understanding comes from within. Service, authentic love and brotherhood is a must. Although humanity has become very shortsighted and for the most part has lost the awareness that is rightfully ours, there are millions of us ready to step forward in faith through our desire to understand the Creator's plan, receive it and live it. Why not give up the illusion and allow yourself to be easily healed just as the example of the stranger mentioned who trusted and had faith? All there really is is love. Authentic love provides proof. Also, service to others is service to one's self. This is truth~
A ongoing mystery to many is both the subject of Sacred Geometry and DNA. Geneticists have discovered that human DNA undergoes an evolutionary jump by activating the unused DNA. We know that language and sounds are vibration. It has been discovered that when a person is sending positive frequencies through powerful affirmations such as gratitude, that the math depicted in sacred geometry is a infinite unbreakable truth in nature. This means that everything exists in unity, harmony, and oneness. Most people do not fully realize this. For instance, if we neglect the oneness, nature will dismantle what isn't working and recreate new life forms that will work with the laws of nature. What is fascinating is the energy patterns of Sacred Geometry are found in our basic DNA.
What collective humanity needs to fully grasp is the power behind the words that are spoken and heard. Words send a frequency that changes human DNA. This knowledge is ancient. If more people understood the power of the word they would not disregard the power that comes with sound in either advancing or stunting our cellular evolution. Those of us involved in healing work know how important it is to pay attention to what actually comes out of our mouth. The choice is always ours. Many people talk themselves into aging, disease, poverty, lack and death. Directly tying in with this ancient truth, Russians have learned to change DNA with frequency experiments. By now, more people have heard of the "Flower of Life". The image, Mandela, is seen in Egyptian temples and many other ancient temples all over the world. Understanding the mapping of the flower of life in the human structure shows the tree of life form. Research informs us that the sacred symbol may even be found in the very first impressions of energy from the "Great Void". The Mandela has 13 spheres in which we can find the origin of everything. All information regarding the human being to the island universes throughout the cosmos is available through the 13 circles.
If you have had unexpected sacred geometry visions, please do your research. At the same time, accept the fact that we create Mandela's from the human voice, which directly affects our DNA. Sacred geometry unifies all relevant spiritual traditions together and it can be proven holistically through cymatics, a process for making sound waves visible. ... the Divine Spirit part of us is a jewel. Some of us who have let go of fear and are genuine in returning to unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness as a natural state are experiencing the Sacred Geometry. Our true form is a mandala. At a certain point in our reawakening process, we may actually be visited by a sacred mandala or see our own. I have intimately experienced my own Flower of Life when wide awake. I have consciously moved inside it. I also have friends who are suddenly blessed with the approach in full technicolor of one of the five Platonic Solids. We don't plan visions; they just seem to spontaneously happen. I remember a large group of us sitting in a circle at a class I was offering. All of a sudden a large Octahedron slowly approached the center of the circle of people and hovered for several minutes. The Octahedron represents the element of Air and is linked to the Heart Chakra. The shape is also a mirror, a perfect reflection of itself, which is a good reminder of the reflections that we often are to each other. There is so much yet for us to learn about our creation experience.
The point of mentioning Sacred Geometry, fractal patterns, in the same breath as DNA is to emphasize that all forms of life as we know and experience them flow from ageless patterns. There is a science to consciousness. It makes sense to me that in the natural order of things that the building blocks of nature are in harmony with our DNA building blocks. What I find fascinating is the knowledge of the mystics finally being recognized by scientists. We are indeed co-creators... The ideal is to consciously create with love and wisdom and consciously feel the joy of oneness~
