THANKFULNESS AND ABUNDANCE

This morning I was blessed and thankful for words of another, whose loving energy, reminded again of the great abundance in my life. And once more, I give thanks to the Creator for all.

How often do you give thanks to the Creator for all that you have in your life? We often give thanks for the immediate things in our lives, but have you considered giving thanks to all the unseen forces that bring these things into your life. For example, we give thanks for our food, but do not thank Mother Earth for the soil and her minerals that give nourishments in your food, for the farmers who grew the food, those who picked the food, those who transported it the market, those in the market who make the enticing displays, or the thousands of other people and resources that provide us with our daily nourishment. This kind thankfulness should be extended to all that you have in your life, your clothes, furniture, appliances etc.

Do you remember to give thanks to the Creator for the sun, rain, wind, air, and water? We take all of these for granted, especially air. We breathe in and out with little thought, but if it were taken away we would not live. The same goes for water and sunlight. We taken so much for granted and forget that these things are so important in our lives.

We also need to give thanks for all our experiences in life, for each of these is a learning experience. When we can learn to give thanks for even the difficult times, we soon realise that they are not so difficult after all.

When we start to give thanks for all that we have in our lives we see how abundant our lives really are.

A few years ago, I read a book that instructed one to sit down and make a "list of abundance". In this list one was to write down 200 things that one was thankful for in one's life. I looked at it and thought, "200, wow, that is a lot," but when I started to make my list I found myself filling pages. I realised how truly rich and abundant my life was. For about a year after, at the end of each day I would sit down and write 20 things I was thankful for that day. As time went on, I no longer needed to make a list, for I found myself during the course of each day silently giving thanks for the many things in my life. Each night before I go to sleep I give thanks to the Creator for another beautiful day and the many blessings that day held. This exercise now has become part of my daily life and as a result my life is filled to overflowing with abundance and thankfulness.

I do not own many things. Most of my possessions would fill two suitcases. I do not own a car, a house and do not have a job, but my life is abundant and blessed in ways too numerous to count. This is true abundance.

If you do not feel and see this great abundance in your life, try the "list abundance". Once you do, you will see how truly blessed and rich your life really is.

Love and blessings,

FREEWILL AND RESPONSIBILITY

The time has come for each of us to take responsibility for our actions. Over the years we have given our personal responsibility for actions away to someone else. Mostly, we have given away our responsibility away to the government. We have come to expect the government to take care of us from cradle to the grave. When ever something goes wrong in our lives we are very quick to point a finger to someone or something else. We have become a people of "if only". If only this or that or someone would have done something things would be different. Everyone is to blame but our selves. We do not want to take any responsibility for our actions. We want someone else to fix things for us. We have agreed to be a society of victims. As a result societies have now found themselves totally trapped and dictated to by governments.

The Creator has given us the gift of freewill, but we as a society have chosen to give this gift way. It now time for us to reclaim this gift and to break free of the trap we have created. It is now time for us to take back our responsibility for our lives. The use of this gift means that we have an infinity possibilities of choices. We just have to realise this and break free of our limited vision. We have to realise that there are no right or wrong decisions. Each decision is only the decision of that moment. The decision is not right or wrong it only a decision and as such can be easily changed with another decision. But, with the use of our freewill also comes responsibility. When we make use of our power of choice, we also have to accept totally the outcome of these choices. We cannot blame anyone or anything for choices that do not have the outcome we desired. For example, if I choose to go riding my motorcycle without a helmet and I fall and hurt myself. That is my choice and I have to accept the consequences. I do not need some law to tell me what I should do. That is my choice.

At this moment in time with hurricanes battering the shores of the US, as well as other natural calamities striking elsewhere in the world, and the changes that these are going to bring to the world, we are being given a chance (or maybe I should say, we are being forced) to reclaim our freewill. We can choose to don the victim mentality and blame others, or we can choose to create a new life for ourselves. One based on integrity and self-empowerment. It is no use blaming ourselves or anyone else for the predicament we have gotten ourselves into, let the past go. Now it the time for breaking free of the trap that holds you victim and to reclaim your power and your freedom of choice. By reclaiming your freedom of choice, you will see you have an infinite choice of possibilities. It is time to see the bright crystal light within yourself and to take back responsibility for your life. Are you ready to accept this challenge?

COMMUNITY

Last week I had the opportunity to visit a friend's farm about an hours walk from the village of Machu Picchu. It was a beautiful walk following the railroad line. On one side the sacred river of Wilkamayu rushed on it way to meet the mighty Amazon and on the other side the majestic mountains reach to the heavens. My friend's eco-farm is nestled in a valley between two streams that feed the Wilkamayu River. On the farm there are avocado, orange, lemon and bananas trees, potatoes, lettuce, onions and other vegetables. All these are grown organically; the fruits of Pachamama, Mother Earth, grown lovingly. All around the gardens the tropical rainforest teams with life.

After a healthy lunch from the fruits of the earth, I sat on a raise of land deep within the rainforest. As I sat quietly observing all around me, I was shown that the forest is the Great Spirit's example of how a community should be. Within the forest all beings live in perfect harmony. All beings have a purpose, and although they are different, they all join together to create a healthy environment that is in balance. Every single creature, from the bacteria, fungus, small plants, trees, insects, animals, and birds contribute to the well-being of the forest. They are all needed for their expertise. Each being contributes to the wellness of the whole. Within the forest there is no discrimination, jealousy, competition, or animosity. There is only harmony.

We, the two-legged creatures of the Earth, need to follow the teachings of the forest. We need to bury our differences and come together, each with our expertise to create a community of one, like the forest. We have to stop competing with one another and relearn how to work together to create a world of harmony and peace. This is not as difficult as it would seem, all we have to do is realise we are all the same. We are all created from the same source. The source of Divine Love. When we can see beyond the physical and see the crystal love energy within each of us, then we can come together to build a place of love and harmony. At that time, we will then become a part of the whole and join in harmony with Nature and encompass the One with the Oneness of All.

FACING FEAR

In one of my last writings I mentioned some of the things I have seen about the future. I do not tell I all I have seen in dreams, meditations or ayahuasca visions. I have a gift or is it? What ever it is, is not important. It just is!

Several years ago when I began in earnest on this path to self, I would often visit Ato Girma, an Ethiopian shaman, with his house perched on a hill about 3 hours drive outside of Addis Ababa. In our talks and in his seeing, he would often ask me, "Why do you willingly want to follow this path?"

My reply was always, "Ato Girma, I feel I have to."

He would then look at me with his dark brown eyes and sadness on his face and say, "Following this path is both a blessing and a curse. You can still walk away." But I knew I could not.

At the time I thought I had a good idea of what Ato Girma was telling but it was not until I went to Marcahuasi, high in the Andean mountains, did I fully understand what he was saying. Marcahuasi is located in the Central Highlands of Peru and is a table mountain of about 3 sq. km and at an altitude of 4,200 m above sea level. It is an incredibly magical place with gigantic rock sculptures, made by Nature or man, who is to say. The magic of Marcahuasi began for me the moment I arrived. After I greeted the spirit of the mountain and asked permission to enter with an offering of tobacco, I heard a voice very clearly say to me, "We have been waiting a long time for you." I was taken aback, for why would the mountain be waiting for me?

Over the next several days my friends and I explored the sculptures scattered all around the top of the mountain. Many of these formations had messages for me. Most of those messages were greetings, encouragement and connecting to the energy of the place. The last night there we did a special ceremony that lasted the whole night. It was during this ceremony that a huge rock formation called the Rock of Humanity called to me. I went over and sat with my back against it. The rock took me into its heart and began to download great amounts of information to me. In the hour or more that I was there I saw the whole of this period of life on earth flash before me. I was shown all the horror we have committed in the name of civilization and saw what is coming. With a great stream of tears running down my face I asked, "Why do I have to see all of this?" The answer that came was, "You cannot go forward until you face all of this. You cannot have wisdom without facing the pain. This is the way it is." After that message I was also shown what will come when earth has been cleansed of all the darkness. As I sat by the fire later, I recalled Ato Girma's works and knew what he was talking about. I was not consumed with fear or anxiety about the future. I knew that this was the way it was. I knew I had to be a light of love in world of darkness. I had to stand solid like the mountains and hold the love energy. At times I feel great pain and sadness, but it is because people do not see and continue to run around reacting to the outside world.

I could give you details of my many visions but what would it create? More fear and anxiety over the future. What is to come will come; it is all destined to happen as it is supposed to. The moral of this story is that we each much face our fears and over come them. We must all come to that place of peace and tranquillity within us. We all have it. No one can show us these fears or face them for us. It is something each of us has to do on our own. We all know the way if only we would listen to ourselves and not the many voices clamouring to show us the way. This is a journey that only you can take and no guru or master can show you. It is a journey of great courage and fortitude. It is a journey of commitment and regardless of what is shown or experienced it must be faced. The dark side is only a mirror of the light. Fear is only a reaction to something that may or may not happen. Most fears are created by an outside stimulus, that if you look at it carefully, has nothing to do with your life at this moment. If you are not willing to face the darkness in those fears, you will never see the true light. You will never overcome the fear that resides inside of you, blocking the light that is within. Once the fear is faced and seen for what it truly is, a reaction, it will disappear. The light cannot shine until you come face to face with the darkness and put it aside. When you do that it no longer has a hold on you and the only thing left is the crystal essence of your being shining for all the world to see

Stop running and reacting! That is only fear. Sit and face that fear. Let the light within shine!

Love Blessings,

AID TO FOCUSING INWARD

I have been taught a simple technique by the shamans I have been working with here in the Andes for directing our focus and intention inward. It is a simple technique but does require a bit of practise. When you are in a meditative state roll your eyes upward towards your third eye. The trick is to hold that position. It helps at the beginning to picture a golden dot in your third eye and to focus on the dot. Later it becomes easy to just roll your eyes up and hold the focus. Once you have mastered this little technique you will be amazed at what you will see.

CHANGES

This past week has been an interesting one for me. The forces around me have been strong and they have been very insistent that I listen to what they are telling me. This is what they have been saying.

They are telling me that right now the forces of change are great. These changes are happening on two levels, so to speak, but that these two levels of changes are interlocked and really part of a whole. On one level the changes are in the physical world. This is very evident if one pays attention to the news and various other sources of information going around the Internet. We are seeing storms of great intensity, droughts, and fires, we are seeing plane crashes, we are seeing rips appear in the government control structure and we are seeing an increase in the global power struggle. I am being told that these changes are only the beginning and that frequency and intensity of these are increasing. I have been shown a black oozing mass flow from cracks in the earth and have been told to watch the dragon and bear (this I have told for many years but the message now is stronger). I am being told that this is only cleansing and purifying. But more importantly I am being told that it is happening so that we can see the illusion of the material world and that we need to focus on the inner not outer world. We are being given a chance to face our fears head on and to overcome them.

These physical changes are happening together with an intensification of the Wave of Consciousness flowing over the earth. I was told that the intensification started to on July21 of this year and at that time we moved into a new cycle of knowing. It is very important at this time that we still the metal chatter and go within. We are going to be experiencing many things that are going to help us clean our inner house but we have to pay attention. We have to be still and we have to eliminate the fear in our lives.

The changes on the physical and spiritual levels work hand in hand. The earth is being cleaned and so are we. Through the earth changes all the illusions of the material world are being striped aside and at the same time by witnessing these changes we are being directed to focus on what is real. We are being directed to change our focus from outer to inner. We are being directed in drastic ways to realize that all we see in not all there is. We are being directed to see that reality lies within. What lies within is a dynamic and powerful crystal of love. I have seen this crystal within. It is the most beautiful sight to behold as it radiates the energy of pure unconditional love. When one can see and feel this crystalline energy within themselves, all the outer things and happenings are no longer important. We see them for they are; an illusion of control and fear.

Change is happening, the pace is quickening, nothing will remain untouched. The Universe is unfolding. Go within for it is there that you will find love. That is the only answer you need. It is also the Divine responsibility of all of us to access this love and to hold this love energy in these times of change. It is those of us who know this energy that have to radiate it and let it flow to others. Many are awakening as the Wave flows over all and they need us to hold the energy for them as they learn to deal with it. By holding and radiating this energy others will feel it and respond to it.

There is nothing to fear, all is happening for a Divine purpose.
