Sleep, the Body, and Recovery from Illness

When we work physically and mentally, we insert our spirit – our energy, that vibrates at a higher rate, more-so into the body in order to manipulate the body the way we need to accomplish what we choose.  Because the body can only handle this energy for a certain amount of time, before it overwhelms the body’s recuperating ability and causes the body to break down, the body therefore needs time free from this higher vibration spirit energy in order to recuperate.  This free time is called rest and sleep.

During physical healing times, the insertion of the spirit energy can require the body to attend to the body recovery needs associated with the spirit energy insertion instead of attending to the healing process of the damaged body.   The body has limited capabilities sometimes, and needs to allow for appropriate direction of the healing forces.  It’s better if we channel these capabilities into the needs that are needed most at that moment.  Hence why sleep and rest are important for a recovering body.

As we move through 2012, and then beyond this unique time, many will experience being sleepy or needing a nap more often.  Do not necessarily consider this a bad thing.  There are very real soul activities happening during times of sleep.  Many of these activities involve helping others on the soul plane or integrating greater energies and understandings – while asleep.  So, go ahead and take that “power” nap.  Einstein did.  I suggest hold in your mind – a willingness to help or learn – as you drift off.

Humans, Chakras, and more

Here’s an interesting little thing to think about.  The beings that came into this world before and at the beginning of Atlantis didn’t manifest in the 1st and 2nd chakras.  They only presented in the 3rd-7th chakras – hence not in physical form.  Many of the life forms on the earth for millions of years, though – spirits that have been trapped in physical forms, manifested greatly the  1st and 2nd chakras and hardly anything much at all above that for a long time.

That is why there has been a need for the descending into flesh by Amelius (Adam/Jesus) and His followers, all the way into the 1st and 2nd chakras, to begin at the bottom with the subsequent journeying on the path back up to full awareness and balancing of all 7 human chakras.

For the 3rd wave of souls to help spirits get out of the entrapment of the physical plane – the belief in consciousness that the physical manifestation is reality – souls must enter into the lowest vibration levels (i.e. chakras) that these beings are active at in order to walk the path back up to the higher vibration levels learning to balance all chakras as they go.

Mammals today are for the most part in the process of balancing or are balanced in the 1st through 4th chakras – with many having gone through their own evolution to this point.  While all life have 12 chakras, albeit unmanifested yet, the manifestation of each of these chakras is based on the evolution of the particular consciousness – or rather the development of the expression of each chakra to its greatest balancing with the other chakras.

Having a chakra that is out of balance means there’s still work to be done in the consciousness of the being.  And as we all know, imbalances come from the expression of “Me, first” rather than “One for All”.

As our own spiritual/social/human/soul evolution continues, the manifestation of the eighth chakra will begin.  FYI, the manifestation of the 9th on up, for the most part do not require being in physical form and so most will evolve this aspect in other realms, with a few continuing to connect with the Earth level in order to fulfill the completion of the evolutionary process which is going on here for life forms.

And why not with all this?  All life forms are worth the effort.  All life forms are worthy of being helped.  All life forms will be given all opportunities given to all others.  Remember, the key word is “All”.  Why?  Because All is One – in the greatest sense of the words.

Put another way – God, who is infinite Consciousness, who is infinite Love has willed that no being or soul that He Loves will be left behind or abandoned or left to perish.

Would you let those you love perish?

The World Will Not End Dec. 21, 2012

Personally, I know of no one who believes the world will end at the end of the Mayan Calender date of December 21, 2012.   What I psychically see of significance is multi-layered and the first thing being it is an end of a calender.

However, …

The End of What We Know

you could argue that Sept. 11, 2001 was the end of the world as we know it.   And this would be correct from a certain point of view.  The world changed significantly and the world we knew before 9-11 no longer exists.  You can also say this with each major destructive event, like natural disasters – the Tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina, the Japanese Tsunami and nuclear disaster,  the Joplin, MO tornado destruction, Chernobyl – the world as known to the people connected to these events changes overnight and their previous world is gone.  In other words, the “world” that we perceived, changed and no longer exists.

However, …

A Galactic Event

it is true that we are also going through a galactic event, and it doesn’t matter what people believe with regards to science, spiritual beliefs, astrology or superstition.  It doesn’t matter, because changes are happening regardless of beliefs.  It doesn’t  matter what many people believe or don’t believe about global warming.   Weather is erratic and extreme.  It doesn’t matter what people believe and don’t believe about the effects of other planets and stars on the Earth.   Things are happening regardless of beliefs and are going to happen more.

What happens or doesn’t happen, what is true or not true has never been based on whether people believe or don’t believe.  There are still people alive that  choose to believe the sun goes around the Earth.   There are people alive that believe there are no consequences to their actions or behavior.  There are still many alive that believe that the way to create cooperation is by attacking and insulting others.  There are many alive today that believe that we can help people by harming people.

What we don’t believe in – only limits ourselves.  It doesn’t limit others or the truth, and it certainly doesn’t limit God.  (Rainbow Cards)

Do we have to fully understand something to believe it or believe it’s possible?  (Who among us fully understands how every part of a computer work?) (Rainbow Cards)

However,  …

To Believe or Not To Believe

we can believe what we choose to about Dec. 2012.   The world is not coming to a physical end on that day.   And the changes that I psychically see happening and alluded to above, and hope to mention more of in the coming weeks, will be seen by those who look with an open mind.    The results of an open mind are that those who have their minds open, and their eyes – will be in position to be aware of the changes that are happening now and happening then.  Those who have their minds open will have an opportunity even to understand the hows and whys of events and occurrences.

Willingness is Everything

Everything is willingness.  Everything.  Everything.  Everything.  Willingness is behind every action, every feeling and every thought.  If not with one part of our self, then with another part of our self and thus behind every inner question and conflict.

None of us accomplishes anything or does anything, unless we’re willing.  No one heals, unless we’re willing.  No one helps another or harms another unless we’re willing.  No one does or is anything unless we’re willing.

We don’t become president, unless we’re willing.  We don’t stay healthy unless we’re willing.  We don’t enrich ourselves unless we’re willing.  We don’t become addicted unless we’re willing.  We don’t enter into the valley of the shadow of death, unless we’re willing.   We don’t make our lives better or make our lives worse unless we’re willing.

A Small View

A.  Unfortunately, if someone looks at life only from the surface and being a human being, this makes no sense and is extremely debateable.  For example, why would anyone ever be willing to be attacked, be willing to die from cancer, be willing to be enslaved, be willing to be abused or maligned, or become a drug addict?  Why would anyone ever be willing to be the victim of a hate crime or be rounded up and killed by Nazi’s.  Why would anyone ever be willing to be nailed to a cross?

If we look at life only from the perspective of the surface of living this physical life, this makes no sense.  Yet, whether full understanding exists or not, everything is willingness – just not all at the human level, sometimes the willingness is from the whole soul.

For Others and Our Self Equally

B.  At the soul level, we can also perceive that if we’re willing to do to another, then we are also saying we’re willing to experience it ourselves.  At the soul level, if we’re willing to “teach someone a lesson” in a certain way, then we’re willing to learn in that same way.    Or, if we’re willing to truly forgive, then we’re willing to allow forgiveness to be for ourselves, as well.  If we’re willing to truly understand, or show mercy or be patient, then we’re willing to experience understanding, mercy and patience, in all it’s manifestations for ourselves.

If we’re willing to create a certain experience for others, we’re willing to say this is a valid experience for ourselves as well, whether it be harm and suffering, or forgiveness and compassion.

The challenge is to be aware that we can choose to be willing and unwilling in the same experience at the same moment.  Willing for some reasons and unwilling for others.   The issue then becomes what are we willing to choose for our life and others?

PS.  We don’t love unless we’re willing to love.  We don’t forgive unless we’re willing to forgive.

The Role of Prayer

There’s something I’ve not mentioned except in passing.  This is the changes to the future that prayer brings about.   These changes are present in the Akashic records as alternative timelines.  This information is also available.  This means that the effect of prayer can also be seen. This is true of whether it’s 100 people praying or 100,000 praying.

Because people have freewill, what is then seen are timelines related to how many people choose to pray.  In 2006, up to the summer hurricane season, I kept seeing a hurricane happening in August.  But, it never happened.  In looking over that information and learning about what changed and how I saw something that didn’t happen, I learned a lot.  I  learned that I had fixated on one timeline and did not spread my “looking” wider.  I did not look at the changes made from the prayers that came about motivated by the previous year’s (2005) hurricane destruction in Louisiana and the prayers that came from millions of people all over the United States.  Millions of people prayed for the Gulf Coast and this brought in what I saw as the Christ Spirit, protecting the entire Gulf Coast until the middle of the 2007 season.  The call went forth in the form of prayers, for protection and the sheer numbers of people praying brought about protection through the entire 2006 season and half of the 2007.  The meteorologists were surprised at the quiet 2006 season.

Why only half of 2007?  Because more people praying would have been needed to bring forth that much more energy that dissolved the hurricane energies that were set to manifest.

Weather is very much related to human consciousness.   This is why prayer and meditation can dissolve energy patterns that are set to manifest as destructive weather.  This is why praying and meditating have an effect on weather patterns, as well as the other things for which we pray and meditate.

On a side note, so many people think at times God is saying “No.” to prayers, but this isn’t the case.  Prayer and meditation are the sending of Spirit energy into a certain direction or purpose.  If there are few prayers and meditations, there is little Spirit energy going with that direction and purpose.  If there are a great many prayers and meditations, there is a great amount of Spirit energy being sent out with that direction and purpose.

As mentioned before, praying is like rowing a boat towards a target.  With many rowing that boat, it arrives quicker, but with few rowing, it takes longer and if we give up altogether, then that boat will stop moving in that direction.

Sure there are times that the outcomes of our prayers are different than what we desired.  There is still that factor of God wanting something better than what we think we want.  But, the factor that helps our prayers is remembering that the more unselfish our praying, the more that God can work through our prayers.

Edgar Cayce talked about seeing unanswered prayers when he went unconscious to give his psychic readings.  He reported that many times the people would give up on praying and meditating, when all they needed was to be patient and persevere.   There is a bumper sticker out now, that says, “P.U.S.H.”, which means Pray Until Something Happens.

That’s the way to pray.

BTW, with the prayers being said for the drought areas in Texas, this is having the effect of building up some cloud cover in August, 2011 to cool the places off.  It will take more yet, to add more rain, but the boat is moving in that direction, albeit slowly.   Don’t give up, keep on keeping on.  Keep on with prayer and meditation.

Spiritual Vocations?

I sometimes hear people struggle with trying to find their “true life’s work”.  I offer this perspective around this topic.

Part 1:
Our soul job is to become one with God.  Our soul vocation is not related to the job we have or want or seek in our society.  We can choose any earth job we want or are inclined to pursue.  From musician, to priest to housewife, to garbage collector to assembly line worker, etc.  All vocations that contribute to mankind’s goodwill & needs are worthwhile.  The soul’s vocation is different.  Our soul vocation is to apply the spiritual principles that we learn, regardless of the earthly role we find have chosen for ourselves or find ourselves in and which helps to pay the bills and function within the world we live.

Our real job is that which we brought with us when we were born and will take with us when our time is finished.  Everything we do that we think is spiritual, based on an earth occupation, is only for one life.  If we have chosen an occupation based on our judgment that it is a spiritual occupation, then we have only gained one life’s benefit.  It will be lost when we die, because it will be left behind.

The question is what job will we take with us?  What is it that our work is about that we will take with us when we die?  This work is the work of becoming.  Becoming what?  When we work on becoming anything which demonstrates the spiritual fruit, we will take this work with us.  It is the only thing we will take with us into the next world and the next life.  If we think in our heads that an earthly vocation is a spiritual job, then we will lose this “gain” when we end this life and the earthly vocation ends.

But, if we take to heart the job of becoming loving, the job of becoming merciful, the work of becoming patient, the work of becoming understanding, the work of forgiving, the work of becoming kind, then this will go with us into the next world and the next life and the next and the next.  The issue is not what work we are doing.  The issue is whether our heart is a part of this work, and in so, are we applying our spiritual learning in our lives.

In the same way, if we become more hateful, if we become more condemning, if we become more judgmental, then we will take this into all our next lives, instead.

We cannot buy heaven with anything from the earth.  Not money donated, not church attendance, not a spiritual or service oriented vocation nor any other earth situation, action or circumstance.  We can only achieve heaven by creating heaven for others.

How do we create heaven on earth?  By bringing forth those qualities that we believe exist in heaven.  By becoming loving, by becoming merciful, by becoming patient, by becoming understanding, by becoming forgiving and kind, by expressing joy and even humor.  How is it that this is true?  Because we cannot be loving without God being present in that love while we love.  We cannot be merciful without God being present in that mercy when we show it.  We cannot be patient without God being present in that patience when we give it.  We cannot be understanding or forgiving or joyful without God being present in that understanding, forgiveness and joyfulness when we act on it.

We cannot love except when God loves through us as us.  We cannot show mercy except when God shows mercy through us as us.  We cannot be patient except when God is patient through us as us.  When we love, God is present in the love.  When we are merciful, God is present in the mercy.  When we are understanding and forgiving, God is present.

And with each expression or application of these fruits and others, God creates a little bit more of heaven in our midst even here on Earth through our own hearts, minds and souls – and in the lives of those we’ve bestowed these fruits upon – including when we extend these to ourselves, which is so very important to do also.

So we can go ahead and take whichever job we want to choose to have.  I encourage all of us to select one we think we’d like.  Why not.  Then allow this earthly vocation, which will change many times, to be the situation and circumstance where we apply the spiritual principles which will help us become more of those spiritual qualities that will stay with us lifetime after lifetime.  In essence, that which we become – loving, kind, forgiving, understanding, patient, will be what we take into the next world and the next life.

Part 2:
Now to get to an even deeper purpose – to our collective purpose which is also relevant to the above topic.  We, a third wave of souls, answered a call to help souls trapped in the earth – trapped in the belief/consciousness of a soul not being spirit but being a fleshly being – with identity being attached to the flesh body rather than the spiritual essence.  This earthly belief led to great turmoil, strife and suffering.  Why wouldn’t it, when we think we are something that we really are not, it leads to suffering – suffering from the denial of our true Self.  And the continuation of the consciousness of being physical earth beings is the entrapment of which we came to help release.

Amelius/Jesus has been the first to go through every human experience to transform the human evolutionary path in the earth into a soul transformation path.  And the end result of this transformation is for the purpose of releasing ourselves from the entrapment belief of being earthly flesh beings.  This is demonstrated by Jesus, who became the Christ, when He finalized the path of transformation and …

left the earth through dying.

Had he not left the Earth, through dying, He would not have finished the transformation of the human/soul evolutionary path into the spiritual growth path that the human experience now is.  The Earth is now, and will forever now be a place where souls can transcend into the awareness of our spiritual identity.  Now, make note that this is not a path of rejection of the human identity, it is an expansion centered in this human form and expanding outward beyond the confines of the human paradigm and experience.  In no way, does this negate being human, rather it transforms being human into now being able to become aware of our spiritual identity through every human experience by practicing and applying these principles and qualities.  And I mean “EVERY” human experience.

As a side note, in the end one could say that Jesus Christ’s final demonstration of the last step to how to leave the earth plane, was by leaving the earth plane.  When He said “It is done.” He was also conveying that His series of reincarnated lives, (33 according to Edgar Cayce) was then finished and culminated in the full transformation of the Earth into now being a spiritual path – in other words, being human can now be a spiritual path.

So, when we think there is one specific societal vocation that we’re meant to do this life, work at letting that idea go.  It’s too small a purpose for souls that hold within them the very essence of the Infinite Consciousness of God.  The soul’s purpose/vocation is to practice and apply the spiritual fruit and principles within what we consider all the normal human experiences.  This lets loose and brings forth the Infinite Consciousness to work within the life of the individual practicing.  If this may seem like a daunting task, then it’s because we are seeing things that the soul can accomplish.  And remember, all we need to do is be willing – willing to love, willing to forgive (even ourselves), willing to be merciful, willing to be patient, willing to understand – willing.  God does all the rest when willingness is chosen.  With God, infinity is real, and therefore all things are possible.

Japan, Earth Changes and Predictions for 2014: Weather

Let’s begin with Japan’s current state. The helpful aspects have been seen – the cultural support. International support.

The landmass. While it is true that this has been a significant shift for the landmass. This is also not unheard of when earthquakes happen. Some consider this an `end of the world” event, but it is not. Some consider this an “end of Japan” event.  It is not.  However, it is one of the most major of events to affect this earth, as we now know.

Some have reported that it cracked the island in two. This is a “Yes, and no” truth. It caused land mass movement and this movement goes deep into the earth, but in no way has this island now become two islands. Not even close.

The major devastation related exclusively to this particular earthquake is finished for Japan and will only continue in minor ways from other earthquakes as this event sequence settles down.  However, it looks like there could be a 6-7 point earthquake in the 3-4th week in May. This will not duplicate the devastation because it’s already happened. It will make people concerned greatly though.

The rumblings deep in the earth underneath Japan will continue and diminish into June, 2011. It will settle down in the Japan area but the shifts have moved and opened up the volcanic channels east of Japan, and in October we could see increased volcanic activity in the Pacific – a little in Hawaii, but not necessarily in a major way in Hawaii, but some of the other volcanic islands in the Pacific. Some increase in Hawaii, but I think more increase in the Pacific as a whole.

The devastation related to the nuclear power plant is long from over. “If all things stay the same,” it will be several months yet – the middle of May before they are able to effectively bring the radiation exhaust to a close. The deaths from this will also be added to the numbers. The illnesses from this will number in the hundreds of thousands over the next 16 years. The Japanese people will be treating those affected by radiation well into the 2nd half of the 2020’s. We won’t hear much more of this after the next few years have passed. This information will only be recorded in medical databases and government offices as time goes on.

As medical progress is made, better treatments will be available. Much of these advances will be in Japan. It will take about 4 years from now (2014-2015) to make the 1st significant medical step forward, and then another 7 years after that for another, which will then be the step that will greatly reduce the effects of the radiation. So, 10-11 years from now we will see successful remedies for those still alive and suffering from the effects of radiation.

The U.S.
The radiation will eventually reach into the entire western half of the United States. Not in great levels, but in measurable levels.  Lower elevations and more southern areas are the least affected. The greater and more dense the atmosphere above an area, the less radiation will be affecting people. Higher elevations in the Rockies will see higher levels of radiation which will find its way into the rivers and waterways that lead to the lower elevations when the snows melt. This will be most measured and observed during 2011 and 2012.

The radiation levels will not be devastating in the U.S. It will be at a level which can make those already seriously sick and in the most vulnerable position health-wise, become worse. It will affect those with severely compromised immune systems in a detrimental way.

For those that are healthy, it will be handleable, and may not even be noticed. The areas most vulnerable are the northern California coast up to Alaska, but there will be some from central Cal coast line down into Mexico. Some measurements will discover radiation levels higher than normal, but not in a danger to the public at large.

Only at very high elevations will the public at large need to be aware of potential problems. There is no stopping the radiation, but it is incorrect to think that all radiation levels are deadly. All are not. There will be increases in radiation levels, but not deadly increases.  Again, only at higher elevations, especially in the Rockies, will there be levels that can seriously impact health.  This means that wildlife will be affected in a detrimental way, also.

Those cities that have smog will find that their air pollution acts to shield and absorb some of the radiation. Strange world sometimes.

Earth Changes:
In 2005, I “saw” the Indonesian Tsunami as being like “an introduction to a book”. The “book”, metaphorically speaking is the earth changes yet to come. To continue with the metaphor of “the book”, there are 3 chapters to this book. In the same way as an introduction to a book doesn’t have the same strength as the book, the Indonesian Tsunami was not one of the three events. It was only an introduction to the events.

The Japanese event is “chapter one” or rather the 1st of 3 events. Each will be a major event affecting the entire world directly physically and/or indirectly economically.

Also, the Indonesian event was fully an earth event. The Japanese event was both earth source and human. The combination of the Earthquake, the Tsunami and the Nuclear Reactor disaster all add up to the first chapter to this most dramatic of “books”.

While I had not been fully able to see a timeline for all events in 2005, with this event happening, I’m seeing a time line now. I see the 2nd event happening in the time range of 2014-2015. I believe I’m seeing it be weather related. I believe it will be the most devastating winters ever to be on the planet FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL AREAS OF THE PLANET. The weather will be compounded by mankind not being prepared for the winter-related effects.  For instance, loss of electricity will cause serious problems for some areas, as we saw happen in 2011.   There will be food and fuel shortages in some areas due to extreme temperatures.  Not long-term shortages as in months, but for a few areas, in central US and in some southern state areas, in the neighborhood of days to several weeks.  Preparation will diminish this affect.

While in the U.S., 2011 was a major winter event year, I think I’m seeing the 2014-2015 winter being far worse. Not just for the U.S. but for all of North America, the eastern Coasts of Asia, and in its turn the western coast of South America and Australia.  Britain will have a worse winter.  Continental Europe will have a more severe than normal winter, but not as severe as the western hemisphere. Russia and northern Asia will have a more severe winter than normal, but the worst of it will still be in the western hemisphere.

Interestingly enough, I’m seeing the winters of 2012 and 2013 being milder than usual.  If they are indeed as I see, then prepare for 2014, because events in 2013 will then contribute to the extremely serious winter of 2014.

Weather is changed by human consciousness. Ignoring this fact only means it will continue on the path it is on.  Prayer and meditation affect weather.  If anyone has concerns about prayer for the weather, I ask you to consider, what would God ask of us, to pray or to not pray?  What does Christ ask of us, to call on Him, or not to call on Him?

I see the 3rd and final “chapter” of this “book” in 2018 to 2019. I’m not yet clearly seeing the form it will take. I do believe I’m seeing it be man made, though.  As Yoda said, “the future is always changing”. The future can be changed. As the angels told Lott and his wife in the Old Testament, 10 people can save a city.

When I “read” in 2005, I also looked at how much can be changed of this that I “saw”. I saw that 20% of what I was seeing could be changed or healed, to the point that it would not happen. 80% was so well developed energetically, that even if all souls transformed and left the planet as enlightened beings, the earth itself would still go through these changes to rebalance itself in it’s own process. The combination of humans and earth processes have both created these energies that are now seeking to manifest.  80% is not stoppable and is already set in motion.  All events contribute to the events that follow them.  Weather patterns are like staircases, with each step contributing to the one after it.

The forms in which the energy will manifest into the earth and lives of the human species (as well as all life on Earth) will not be completely finalized until the split second that it happens. However, tendencies and probabilities for specific forms are a reality in this process of seeking manifestation, and this energy will lean towards specific forming into the physical world. Much of this energy can manifest through people’s lives, and some will, but that which doesn’t, will manifest through the earth itself through a change or reaction to the forces acting to manifest the physical event seed energy.

The energy seeking manifestation must come into a form based upon the pattern of the energy. This is why the New York destructive event of 2001, (which Edgar Cayce predicted as a different form- an earthquake) was only the two towers collapsing. The destructive energy was as such a large amount that if people had not worked spiritually throughout the previous decades to bring about healing to ourselves and our planet, Edgar Cayce’s prediction for New York to suffer a devastating earthquake would have occurred exactly as he foresaw. (As a side note, if the earthquake had occurred, the attack on the WTC would not have happened.)

Because people did raise the vibrations of ourselves and the planet, much of the energy directed towards New York could not stay in existence when seeking manifestation with the new higher vibrations that then came from the spiritual efforts. With continued unselfish spiritual efforts within individuals and for the earth itself, the vibration level continues to rise and thus continues to “heal” or dissolve the lower level destructive energy looking to manifest.

So, with the events of this “three chapter book”, it can easily be said that God has given us time in between each event to recuperate from the previous one and work to raise the vibrations of ourselves and our planet, through changing the level within ourselves from which we draw our desire to live. We have time to continue to try to affect some change in between events. We also have time to prepare for coming events.

Either the selfish (which is lower) energy will be what we draw from to live our lives or the unselfish (which is higher) energy will be what we draw from to live our lives. One direction of our thoughts, feelings, actions and beliefs will dissolve the lower energy manifesting, the other direction of our thoughts, feelings, actions and beliefs will maintain it.  Deciding to let everyone decide for themselves is an unselfish decision. God has given everyone freewill. Let us not act to try to take away from others that which God has given to all of us.

With the angels telling Lott and his wife that 10 souls can save a city, we can understand then how we can affect some changes in the whole world – by working unselfishly to contribute our efforts to grow, learn, and manifest the greater aspects and fruits of the Higher Spirit for the benefits of the whole of life on this planet.

I’m ready for questions.

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill 2

I’m hearing of reports that a miracle may happen and they may completely contain the oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico.   I love this news.  It doesn’t mean it will stop spouting up from the ground but it may be contained.  I’m holding my breath, just like many others.  I think it could take a few more days to fully accomplish this and so this is good news.   Does this conflict with what I wrote earlier?  Some.   Still, containing something and stopping something are two different things.  Will it be contained 100%?  Can the container possibly leak all these miles down?  Will the media find out if it does?  Could what I saw as “September” actually be a few weeks?  Could I be wrong in what I see?

All things are possible, aren’t they.   Meanwhile, we continue to pray and meditate to help.  Remember, let’s not tell God what He can accomplish and what He can’t – even when through people.  Let’s also not tell God that He’s had nothing to do with efforts to help make the situation better.

2012 and Beyond: Building a New Paradigm

“As to the changes that are coming, as in the fulfilling of time and space (which has been referred to), these will, as indicated, depend upon what individuals and groups do about that they know respecting His will, His purpose with man.” [Edgar Cayce Reading 1602-6]

On April 11 and May 16, 2010, Jodie Senkyrik will be presenting a 2-part workshop series sponsored by the Southwest Region of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and held at the Red Corral Ranch B & B outside Wimberley, Texas.

We have many expectations and much wonder about what 2012 will bring, and as to what effects we will experience from the influence of this planetary  time. Yet, the consciousness shift associated with this historical time doesn’t so much happen to us, as it does from us and through us.  In this series, we will exam our spiritual, mental and physical evolution, as well as our role in bringing these forth. We will also examine the paradox of realizing that we cannot evolve ourselves, bringing the question “then how do we do it?”

Part 1- April 11,  2010, 1pm – 5:30pm. Einstein said that we cannot solve our problems at the level they were created.  In the same way, we cannot build a new paradigm from our own understanding.  We cannot evolve ourselves.  We grow, build and evolve through that which is new that comes into our awareness and consciousness.   The beginning of our evolution of our understanding of the Spiritual aspect of ourselves is the development of an ongoing relationship to the spiritual aspect of ourselves.  It is the recognition that the world we live in now is two worlds – a physical world where we find our body existing, and a spiritual world that we are growing to believe in and touch, and  discovering coexists together “alongside” the physical, though only recognized through spiritual means.

Part 2 – May 16, 2010, 1pm-5:30pm. In this session, we will explore our mental and physical paradigms, looking for ways to expand our own understanding of what we already “think we know.”  We will explore the role of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chakras, with their relationship to the mind and body.  We will address our current paradigms regarding the physical body and physical world.

We’ll also expand on the importance of what Edgar Cayce calls, “the imaginative forces” and the impact  imagination has on our own transformative evolution.  We will discuss the beliefs regarding the statement, “If we can think it, we can do it.”
**************
Whether working with spiritual, mental or physical paradigms, building new paradigms never destroys the previous paradigms, but expands beyond it when the parameters – the mind – is open and permeable, with the previous paradigm serving only as a beginning for our ever  growing understanding.

Jodie Senkyrik has been a regular presenter for the A.R.E. Southwest Region, since returning in 2001 from California.  His first A.R.E. presentation was just one month after Sept. 11, 2001 with “The Karmic Connection to the 9-11 Attack” outlining the karmic connection of souls’ involvement with this event – on both sides – with the soul and national connections leading back to Atlantis, Rome, the ancient Middle East and more.  He speaks on such subjects as Psychic Ability in Human Beings, Cleaning up Fear, A Psychic View of Love and Death, the Atlantean Hall of Records, the Evolution of the Soul, and more.   Many of his presentations are available for free from the Download Page of this blog.

Judas Chosen

I write this not to condemn Judas, but also not to raise him to a level that would ignore the issues being dealt with.

There are many that are writing that Judas was chosen to fulfill the role of Jesus’ betrayer.  It depends on a certain perspective as to whether it is true and what this then means.  There is much coming forth that portrays Judas as having acted from divine will, without choice, or with a noble purpose in mind.  In my writings, I write of what I “see” psychically, and although there are many perspectives, I am not seeing some of what others report.

I see several points to consider when first examining the role of Judas.

Freewill:

First of all, Judas at no time had his freewill taken away from him.   This cannot be ignored.  God does not take away freewill from anyone, for any reason, at any time.    In addition, the shortcomings that led Judas to act in the way which led to his betraying Christ were real and available to be changed, healed and transformed – even to the point of not acting in the way he did in an alternate path.

Judas’ difference from the other Apostles, and that which leads many to say Judas was special, was that the other Apostles’ shortcomings and faults were not available to bring about Jesus’ death.   Every Apostle had an issue to deal with – Judas’ was arrogance, Peter’s was anger, and each in their own right, was representative of a struggle within the human consciousness in facing a particular issue of life.

No other Apostle was to face the impact of their challenge/issue with the same potential outcome.  Judas did indeed have one of the more important issues to address within himself – an issue everyone must eventually face.  This can be considered part of the message of examining Judas’ life, though.

If we take a look at arrogance, we can see that it is the perspective and belief that we are better than the other – even when the other is God.  It is a holding of a perspective that our ideas, thoughts, feelings, directives are better even than God’s.  It includes the consciousness “Our own will, not thine be done, Lord.”  It is when we place ourselves first, and God and all others second.  This attitude and consciousness does contribute to separation from God, over oneness with God.  And if we were to perceive the life of Judas and Jesus metaphorically, as two different aspects of ourselves, we can see how arrogance – believing we know better what path is to be taken than God – has an effect even within our own self.

****

The role of Judas was to deal with the arrogance within his own consciousness.  This quality of consciousness for him as well as for all of us, must be dealt with, faced directly, or it will bring forth problems and throw us off our path.  The role of the soul of Judas is even now to deal with arrogance within his own consciousness.  Arrogance is what led him to act as he did, and becoming aware of his arrogance is what led him to then commit suicide.

Dealing with arrogance is something we all have to face – sooner or later.  All of us will eventually take on the role of Judas in our own life for our self.  Arrogance is when we place our self above others and even above God – when thinking we are the source of the good that comes from within us.  How we face this issue each and every time that it comes up, determines how we relate to the Christ Spirit within – putting the Christ Spirit within onto the throne or putting the Christ Spirit within onto the cross.

****

Had Judas been willing and able to resolve his arrogance issue in that life, he would not have been instrumental in Jesus’ death.  Jesus’ death was still to happen, but it would have been through another avenue.  Judas would not have lived long after that.  He would have been one of the first ones quickly to be killed by the Romans since he was a recognized Zealot.  In this alternate timeline, he would have been happy in his death.

****

From a direct spiritual perspective:

From the spiritual perspective, there is no judgment of any of us, including Judas, Hitler, bin Laden, and anyone else who we here on earth consider to have acted with evil intent or done evil.  This is appropriate and binding because from our spiritual perspective, when we are unencumbered by earthly perspectives, we can see far more of the great and big picture of how God can take our shortcomings, our mistakes, and even death itself, and turn them into life, can take ashes and turn it into the Phoenix, can take betrayal and turn it into the single most life-giving act to have happened for humankind – Christ’s death upon the Cross – and all that this death on the Cross brings forth (even though we don’t fully understand all that it brings forth.)  It demonstrates that with God, all things are possible – even bringing life from death.

From those on the other side, sending information through avenues to the physical world, Judas’ actions can be seen in the light of his participation with the roll of the Cross.  His act of “betrayal” becomes extremely unimportant and minutely insignificant compared to what Christ’s death on the Cross brings us.   So, it is appropriate even that their message is one of acknowledgment of Judas in the light of how significant Jesus’ death on the Cross is for the entire spiritual evolutionary path of all humankind.

For lack of a better metaphor, it is like seeing a splinter bring about the creation of a whole universe.  The bad of the one is so extremely overshadowed by the good of the other.  Judas is recognized more for what God did with his actions, than what mankind thinks of his actions.  It is the same with the story of Joseph and his brothers selling him into Egypt.  Joseph later sees that what they meant for evil, God meant for good.  This doesn’t mean they were meant to do what they did, but rather it shows the ability of God and what He can do with any evil, destructive or negative situation.

We must also take into account that the acts which wholly encompassed the betrayal by Judas, is wholly and completely forgivable.  Even Judas knows this.   As we meet ourselves and that which we do, we are to find that place within ourselves to forgive and be forgiven.  It is easy when God is part of the act.  We are to forgive Judas for his actions.  This is for all humans/souls to do.   Placing his acts in a better light or better perspective can help this forgiveness to take place.

There was no stopping Christ’s death on the cross.  Jesus knew his fate when He was the person of Enoch.  It is for this that He came.  His final act was to show us where we all will go as the spiritual beings that we actually are – to leave this Earth plane.  How can we as spiritual beings leave this Earth plane if we as spiritual beings don’t leave this Earth plane?

But where to?  to that place from which we originated – the realm of Spirit – with each life form eventually recognizing that we are spirit beings embodying physical forms, and not physical beings.  Since we souls are all foreigners on this planet, it is for us to eventually remember this and return from whence we came – and I’m not talking about other physical planes or planets.  I’m talking about the realm of awareness of spiritual identity.

Finally, it is this spiritual perspective that it would be good for us to grow towards, but also including a balanced understanding of all aspects of events.  We don’t have to give up understanding in this world in order to gain being non-judgmental developing the spiritual world’s perspective at the same time.

Commercial or Spiritual?

There’s some criticism that occurs around this time of year. Some think that the season has gotten commercial, commercial, and more commercial. A person can definitely perceive it as such. And many want to, thinking that criticizing the purchasing will heighten the spiritual message.

This never works, though, does it. Regardless of the disgruntled, the season of giving continues. Still, it is the Spirit of Worship that leads some to feel commercialism isn’t what the season is about. And in a sense, selling things isn’t what the season is about.

But, the Spirit of Giving is what the season is about. The giving of gifts started not with the three wise men, but with The Father. Our Father, who art in heaven, who has given us the gift of His Son, Christ. And three wise men followed suit.  (Following God’s example is why they may have been thought wise.)

Then the legend tells us that the giving of gifts secretly started with one man hundreds of years ago, when he gave helpful gifts to the needy, during the silence of the night. And the Spirit of Giving became alive again. With the Spirit alive again, it made that silent night, also a holy night, for the Spirit of Giving – the Spirit of Christ came forth again.

But, it is the Spirit of Giving that is inside us when we are at the stores, even if in only a small spark. We all want to participate in the giving of something that is appreciated and needed. We want to give something to those we think most of and feel most close to. We take this time, whether willingly or sometimes disgruntledly, to remember those important to us by giving a gift showing to them that they are thought of fondly, respectfully, or in high esteem hopefully giving them happiness.

The spirit is catching, too. During the Christmas, or holiday season (whichever is preferred), there really is a better feeling towards others, perhaps even a greater consideration of others. Sure, business and life goes on, but within the heart of the individual the feelings come forth whether we realize it or not with the thoughts of those close to us and what would make a nice gift for them – what would make them smile.

Who doesn’t like receiving a gift, which demonstrates that someone was thinking of their well being and joy? We know in our hearts that the receiver of our gifts, bought or made, are going to have some good feelings receiving the gift. So, commercial or spiritual, the Spirit is alive and well in both – in different ways, but still in both – maybe hidden to the other point of view, but within them both anyway.

I would rather have this world with Spirit living in both of these points of view, than a world with only one point of view, or neither. Be joyful, for this time of year the Spirit of God lives inside us more, whether in great ways or small, and regardless of the symbols we use. Then we can say what the dream told me to be true… indeed, “if Santa Claus didn’t come once a year, this world would be in terrible shape.”

So, we may give in whatever way we think will bring happiness to others.  In doing so, the Spirit of Goodwill lives inside us.  And while we’re out purchasing gifts, consider also adding “under the tree” the gifts of understanding, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy, and patience with others.  We have these gifts to give from an infinite source which lives inside our hearts if we so choose, especially during the Christmas and holiday season.

Filling a Need in 590 Words or Less

We talk of having needs.  We need from our parents.  We need from each other.  We need from God.  We need from ourselves.  But, why do we need?

We need, because we are evolving.  As every parent of a teenage boy knows, there is a great need for food, because more growth is occurring.  For evolution to be fulfilled, more must come.  There must be a need and then that need must be fulfilled.  We cannot evolve ourselves for the simple reason that we only have that which we have in that moment.  So, for evolution to occur, we must open up to more that can come.  We cannot evolve from only the finite source that is our current mind, state or paradigm.

When I’m talking about evolution, I’m also talking about creation for we cannot have one without the other.  They are the same thing.  But, I’m not talking just about physical creation.  I am also talking about spiritual creation in many levels of understanding, mental creation in many ideas, thoughts and beliefs, emotional creation through our feeling more than we have before, relationship creation through expanding our relationships into arenas where they haven’t gone before, and also physical creation in the remaking of our physical bodies and our physical world – of which we do constantly on many levels.

On our spiritual path, we are in constant need.  We are needing what God is offering – food for the soul, food for the mind, and food for the body.  Each of these is a need because growth is occurring.  Creation is happening and so we need – we need the raw materials of which creation happens.  We need God Consciousness.

We are gods in the making as many people say.  We (with God’s help) are creating ourselves and our paradigm anew with the food God gives us on all the planes – the “food” being God.  And in this making, we are needing that with which we use to create.  In the infinite realm of the Almighty, there is infinite possibility for creation.  Remember, the infinite creativity of God can create infinitely.  With God being within us, even as us, reaching outward and inward in infinite directions, we have within us the potential for infinite creation.  And as we evolve, we then have for ever more greater and greater potential.  See?

In fact, when we recognize that we need, it is because we are trying to make creation happen.  Sometimes, the need can be harmful with the creation being harmful, and sometimes the need can be healthy with the creation being healthy.  But, always a need comes from an effort to create anew – good or bad.  As “finite” beings living in this 3-dimensional world, we are all creating – both good and bad – and from this creating, we realize that we need, in order to continue to create.  Pity the person who has no needs, because they have stopped creating.

PS.  If it helps to understand this more, we cannot evolve without needing.  It is the act of and recognition of needing, that sends the message to God that we are ready to create, grow or evolve in some manner, and then for that need to be fulfilled.  We cannot grow, evolve, or create anew without the process of needing – which includes the act of opening up to that which is beyond what we had held to before.

And then there’s the issue of freewill being involved with needing and creating….

California – 1. Southern Cal.

There was a great deal of information that came out in the 1960’s through the 1980’s and then in the 1990’s about possible land shifts and earth changes related to California.  In the Edgar Cayce readings, California is spoken about also.

But, while many people are speaking about Cayce’s predictions, few are speaking about what he said about his own predictions.  He said first that these things will happen “if all things stay the same.”  This means if humanity continues along its path of behavior, thought and feelings, the predictions based on these behaviors, thoughts and feelings will come to pass.  If humanity changes its behavior, thought and feelings, the predictions (the future) will be changed, also.

Change is what humanity has done.  Many millions have heard the call of Spirit and acted in line with the healing that comes with, “Love God above all else and love you’re neighbor as yourself.”  So, why does it surprise so many people when the earth changes don’t happen exactly as predicted?  Probably because so little is understood about the real way that spirituality and the energy of spirituality through prayer and meditation have an effect on humanity and human life, as well as how the act of predicting and the psychic mechanism work within the individual.

First, to make it short, prayer and meditation do impact the energy of manifestation guiding the form and scenario of  how circumstantial events play out.  It is the energy of the individual and group consciousnesses being sent out influencing energy that has been sent out previously and now returning.

Secondly, decades of misunderstanding of psychic ability and principles are both behind us as well as still ahead of us.  It won’t be until the last decade of this century that psychic ability and predicting is more readily understood – 80 years away.

Earthquakes

Looking at the land itself from today on, if all things stay the same and if mankind continues on the time-line we are on………

The actual borders of California will not change in major ways.  There will be minor, minor changes related to some increased erosion of small amounts of cliff areas along the coast line in the central Cal area.  This small amounts of erosion of small areas of cliff-lines comes from weakening land structure of hundreds of small earthquakes eventually taking it’s toll on parts of the underground, deep foundation structure.  The shaking of central California over time creates a type of characteristic that I can only call “looseness” of the substructure underground.

With regards to earthquakes, in southern California, I’m not seeing a super major earthquake in California for several years and that could change to be longer.
a. I see a possible 4.3-4.4 in the middle of October, 2009.  It could be as small as a 3.3 or 3.4.
b. Many small ones through 2009 less than 4.0
c. The largest in Nov, 2009, will be 3.5, if it reaches that high.
d. In Jan, 2010, a 4.5 as the largest possible.  But, I think it will come in around 3.7 or 3.8.
e.  One more before July, 2010
f.  August -Dec, 2010, rather quiet unless…
g.  If a 5.0 happens in 2010, it will happen in Aug/Sept time period
h. No 6 or 7 pointers in 2010.
i.  in 2011, I see a possible reaching up to 6.0 to 6.3 in the winter/spring months – Feb, or Mar.  This will be extremely deep and may not be very destructive.  It could be as small as another 4.0 though.  I think it will come in at around 4.8.
j. In 2012, besides the fear of drastic events, I don’t see a lot happening.  Very similar to 2009 and 2010.  I do see one possibility, though, for a 6.5 occurring close to the surface and spreading throughout southern California, north of Pasadena and San Bernadino.  While it could potentially reach a 6.5, I think it will come in at 4.5 to 5.5.
k.  The sizes of these depends a lot on the sizes of many of the others that precede them.  With small earthquakes, some pressure is released that avoids large earthquakes.
l.  I see a potential 7.0 in 2013.  Ask me again about this before we get there.

Again, I’m not seeing a super earthquake in southern Cal in the next 4 years.  Just many, mostly small, (like normally happens) and a few of them larger than normal.

Fires

Fires will be like they have been before, and every year for the next 10 years.  Around 2017/2018, there will be “something” that causes an extremely low number of fires.  I think it will be a super amount of rain throughout the southern 75% of the state.  Rain – all the time in that year.

During the 2017 and 2018, there will also be better ways of fighting fires and keeping fires from starting (beginning in 2015) – some procedures and technology that work to protect the land and trees as a preventative measure. (This could either be the rain or it could be a widespread effort to try new “technology”.)

Water

Water for southern Cal will be one of the serious issues that officials will have to deal with. Weather is more affected by humans than realized.
a. Steps are in place to ensure water for SoCal for the next 4 years, but after 2013, it will become more difficult to get for the southern part of the state.
b. A deal with Nevada to happen in 2013 will help So.  Cal., but it will cost Cal more than ever before.
c. 2010 will be below normal rainfall level
d. 2011 will start off appearing to be a rainy year but will not provide enough to equal the deficit.
e. Rainfall can be helped through prayer for healthier weather patterns.
f. 2012 will actually be a very rainy winter and spring.  Some rain at the beginning of the summer.
g. Each year’s weather is affected or influenced by the previous years weather.
h.  Nevada’s weather will not be like California’s and their desire to hold onto their water will be why the cost to Cal will be higher.
i.  2013 is looking like a drought year at the moment.

Economy

Southern Cal’s economy will steadily continue okay with little slow down.
a.  2009 has seen some tough troubles, but 2010 will be the time that SoCal climbs out of the hole with effort and struggle.
b.  2011 will be better than 2010, because there will be some noticeable changes in the business  of doing business in Southern California.  This will take the form of new innovations in industry and new businesses that weren’t developed much until the economy tanked.  New ways of doing business for some big money players, and new businesses that spring forth because now is the time for them.
c.  More investing will come from Southern Calif in 2011.  Not as much yet as were during 2007 or 2008, but better than ’09 and ’10.
2012 will see a few delays in the recovery and some metaphorical “potholes”, but the year will not be considered worse than 2011, just about the same.
d.  2013 will bring new hope, and a renewed sense of “let’s get to work and do this.”
e.  Starting in 2013, the economic problems for Southern Cal will be behind them and steady progress and increase in the years ahead until some problems slow things in 2017 or 2018.
f.  Again, regular economic progress from 2013 to 2017 or 18 before a slow down.
g.  For Southern Cal, the economy will seem to be dragging from 2018 to about late 2021.

Technology

a. No real influential technological improvements for 2009 affecting Southern Cal.
b. 2011 will bring some technological improvements which will be innovations that enter the market.
c.  In 2012 the bugs come forth – technologically speaking.  I see much frustration with electronics  and supposed improvements – things not working on the personal level.  But, this is not so much technology but the natural forces acting upon the technology bringing out the vulnerabilities which our technology has.  This will pertain to cell phone problems, some major computer networking problems, some electricity overload problems.  Natural forces pushing stronger and greater magnetic fields into and influencing the systems and overloading them.  Not all systems everywhere, but a handful of major systems by some of the big companies.
d.  The problems will mostly be worked out by the end of the spring, 2013.
e.  These problems won’t be avoided because there is not an understanding of the forces that will be affecting these technological systems.

What did I forget?

In looking at this right now, I look for the events and their strength of energy level that would bring them about.  There are some events which have high/strong levels and some that have low/weak levels of energy for manifesting.  That is why the future can be changed by human beings.  Humans sent energy out in times past bringing or influencing events that happen today.  Human energy sent out today can influence the human energy coming from past sending out.  This is in the same vein and hence why it’s true when John 4:18 says, “Perfect love casteth out fear.”  The energy we send out now (best done via prayer and meditation) can influence the energy we sent out previously.

Alternate Life for John F. Kennedy

I’m going to put this information online.  I do know that it will bring some pro and con opinions and feelings.  I add it here because it came in a reading.

In psychically examining the life of President John F. Kennedy, I was able to see an alternate life for him.  The pivot point was in his joining the military and participating in the war in the Pacific.

I saw psychically that if he had NOT been a part of the war in the Pacific via not entering the military, he still could have achieved the presidency, but he would not have been assassinated.  However, he would only have lived one to two more years.  His illnesses would have overtaken him.  I saw psychically that in the most likely alternative path, he would have been in bed for the last six months of his one term.  He would not have been able to physically hold office any more than the one term.

History doesn’t speak much about his illnesses, but he suffered from several.  These illnesses were taking their toll on him physically.

I think sometimes the time we have to spend on this planet for this particular life may be flexible somewhat but not necessarily in great ways.

In doing the reading for JFK, I didn’t see an alternative path that would have allowed him to have a full second term.  I did see a few alternative paths in which he would have lived to as late as 1967 or the beginning of 1968, but in a wheelchair for the last few years.

I didn’t examine the controversy around Oswald, nor do I have any plan to.  I can add little here that would be considered physical evidence and anything I add here concerning Oswald would only add to the fire, not to a resolution.

Praying for Rain: Yes or No?

I want to bring up a few important points to answer this issue.

#1  God’s answer to any of our problems and difficulties has never been – “Don’t pray.”

#2 The Weather problems we have now are created by human consciousness and not by mother nature – whether believed or not.  Those that believe this can know to take steps to help change this.  Those that don’t believe this, usually do little to change this.  It’s easier to not believe and not do anything, than believe and start the work of cleaning things up.  But the Bible reminds us, “the prayers of a few will save many.”  The prayers and meditations of those willing to work will change and influence all things.

#3  The weather patterns we have now are karmic related and so, like any other karmic energy pattern manifestation – can be changed and healed through prayer and meditation.  The amount of healing and rebalancing is directly related to the amount of prayer and meditation.

#4  If we’re concerned about what to pray for, always remember to include, “Father God, Please bring the life-giving waters of all kinds for all people and all life according to your will.  Let my prayers go to you to be used to help in whatever way you may know to use them.  Here am I, use me and my prayers for your greatest will and service.   Amen.”

#5  It’s okay to pray for God’s will to be done, even with regards to weather, because God’s will has never been to punish and smite, and always been to show mercy and give life – even in the form of healthy weather patterns.  God is also desiring for us to learn that praying is worthwhile even if we have to learn how best to do it.

#6  Pray for healthy weather patterns.  Pray for balanced weather patterns.  Pray “HELP US, GOD!”   Pray using no words whatsoever.  Pray for whatever you feel okay with, just pray, and then let God decide what is possible with our prayers.

#7  Praying and meditating accomplishes more than “not praying” and “not meditating”.

#8  Praying is like building a bridge, with prayers being like the bricks from which the bridge is built.  We can’t cross the bridge when just the first few bricks are in place.  The bridge isn’t ready for use until the final bricks are in place, too.

#9 What are we willing to pray for those we love?  Are we willing to pray for rain or healthier weather for those we love, because we know their lives will be helped from it?

#10  Nothing can stop God from helping in our lives more than a closed mind or a closed heart.

#11 Don’t put God to the test.  Don’t guess what God needs to do or not do.  God is not the one here needing to learn something – in this case – to pray – even if it’s for healthy weather patterns.

#12 God is not seeking just to change things on the outside of us- like the weather, but rather change things on the inside of us.  It is this change that we keep with us through time, and eventually changes the outside of us – even the weather.
