<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<p>Perhaps my loved ones and I  hold different opinions on certain topics or issues. No matter how  different our perspectives appear to be, we share one thing in  common&#8211;we are each expressions of God&#8217;s love.</p>
<p>When we have a  difference of opinion, I look beyond the seeming boundaries of the  disagreement to find our common ground. I listen with respect and love  in order to gain a greater understanding of myself, my loved one and our  life experiences.</p>
<p>Focused on the love of God that guides the mind  and soothes the soul, I look for solutions that will be mutually  fulfilling and harmonious. With a generous spirit and a desire for  common good, I strive to bring God&#8217;s love into the world.</p>
</p></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">I appeal to you &#8230; that you be united in the same  mind and the same purpose.&#8211;1 Corinthians 1:10</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='posterous_autopost'>
<p>I watched &#8220;The Last Airbender&#8221; in 3D with my son (he&#8217;s 8 years old), his dad (34) and his dad&#8217;s other son (6 years old) yesterday in a beautifully restored ornate Oakland theater, off the I-580 on the Lake shore drive exit.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t expecting much &#8211; neither the trailer on TV nor other people I met (the girl at the hair salon), gave me a good impression.  The main complaints were that the story line in the movie differed too much from the Nickelodeon cartoon show &#8220;Avatar: the Last Airbender&#8221;. [sidenote: I guess they couldn't use "Avatar" in the movie title because of copyrights by the OTHER "Avatar" movie released earlier this year.]</p>
<p>Anyway, I was mostly pleasantly surprised &#8211; I loved the effects, and I loved the thought that millions of American children are hearing words like &#8220;meditate&#8221;, &#8220;ying yang&#8221;, &#8220;evolution&#8221;, &#8220;nature spirits&#8221;, &#8220;sacred site&#8221; etc.  This was great.  Also, one of the Avatar&#8217;s spirit guides informs him that his job is &#8220;never to hurt others&#8221; but yet still to show them who is boss.  Beautiful, a hero who does not Hurt.  The editing of the movie was good, and the special effects were perfect.</p>
<p>Here are the things that I found horribly wrong with the movie:</p>
<ol>
<li>The Water Tribe people, Katara and Sokka and the rest of their tribe are WHITE skinned.  Um excuse me?  Their skin is beautiful and BROWN in the cartoon show, and I am disappointed that Hollywood yet again went the white-y route.  There are plenty of dark skinned child actors and actresses in Hollywood, WTF?</li>
<li>Ang &#8211; WHITE skinned&#8230; not even Asian?  I mean Puleeze.  This is disgraceful.  Really.</li>
<li>The bad guys? Dark skinned&#8230; even more f**ked.</li>
<li>Oh, and no honor and glory for the divine feminine in the beginning either &#8211; it&#8217;s Katara that finds Ang, not her brother Sokka as shown in the movie.</li>
</ol>
<p>Got any other comments? I&#8217;d love to hear your take too, so do share!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Togetherness vs. Aloneness in Business</h2>
<p>DailyWord.com sends me a &#8220;deep thought&#8221; of the day, and Wednesday the topic was &#8220;Togetherness&#8221; (see below).  That concept of &#8220;togetherness&#8221; in business is one I&#8217;ve been mulling over of late. I&#8217;ve always been such a perfectionist that my standard modus operandi is to do everything myself &#8211; as in the opposite of Togetherness. For my particular personality, Aloneness has seemed simpler and more consistent in terms of returns. The element of drama is removed or at least lessened quite a bit. Yet, something has always been missing from that formula&#8230;and the meditation seems to reveal how Togetherness can be a fulfilling, satisfying experience.<span id="more-453"></span></p>
<p>Truth be told, being a sole proprietor can get kind of stale and bland after multiple years of doing business this way. Also, for me, because I&#8217;m a perfectionist and have insisted on doing much of the minutiae as well as the bigger priorities myself, it&#8217;s been exhausting&#8230;and perhaps not quite as effective or as fun as I&#8217;d imagined.<img title="More..." src="http://www.lemuriangirl.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /> Noticing this, I&#8217;ve been led to re-evaluate my way of doing things; I&#8217;ve been rethinking that strategy of Aloneness, perhaps it has not gotten me as far as I&#8217;d like to go in life&#8230;But first, let us ponder the thoughts sent by DailyWord.com&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Wednesday, May 19, 2010</p>
<h3><span style="color: #808080;">Togetherness</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">I work with others in harmony and peace. I am a magnificent creation of God, blessed with physical, mental and emotional abilities that enable me to co-create wonderful moments in life. I live in a world filled with other people who are also wondrous creations, and as I connect with them, my power to co-create multiplies.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">In my workplace, community or household, the best results often come through shared efforts toward a common goal. I model the ability to listen to others and consider their ideas. When I work with others effectively, the world is a little more harmonious than it would be otherwise. I celebrate the willingness and ability of all people to work together in harmony and oneness.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #808080;">You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God.&#8211;Ephesians 2:19</span></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Unsure steps into the land of  my previously limited concept of &#8220;Togetherness&#8221; began  last summer of &#8216;09.  The story begins when I elected to give the partnership thing a whirl (again). I&#8217;m not saying I went in with complete clarity or awareness. More like naiveté. I tend to want to just believe everything will work out, even if there is writing on the wall saying it won&#8217;t from the get-go.</p>
<p>Lesson # 1: Read the writing on the wall.</p>
<p>Lesson #2: Make decisions according to the data presented, e.g. take appropriate action.</p>
<p>Yes, at first this partnership seemed like it was going to be a lot of fun, but soon it became apparent that my selection of WHO one chooses to work with is directly equivalent to the rate of fun that is available to be had. Oh yes, and there is &#8220;short-term fun&#8221; and &#8220;long-term fun&#8221;.</p>
<p>Well, I wouldn&#8217;t be telling this story today if I&#8217;d followed Lesson #1 &amp; #2 above.  In fact, I became involved in a partnership that was completely discordant. In order to end this dysfunctional partnership, I first had to get over beating myself up for things going poorly in the first place (after all, I&#8217;m the creator of my reality), until I remembered something my mom told me long ago &#8211; &#8220;it takes two to tango&#8221;.  OK, so now I was able to accept it wasn&#8217;t ALL on me.  So what was I going to do about it?</p>
<p>I also remembered there is a lot of wisdom to the old adage &#8220;cut your losses&#8221;. So that&#8217;s what I did, and now the contrast in my level of stress before and after is astounding. Life is beautiful again.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want you to have to go through what I did, or if you have, let&#8217;s make better choices in the future so we can celebrate our triumphs instead of cut our losses.</p>
<p>If you are thinking about going into your own new business partnership (i.e. business relationship), my advice to you is to somehow get a good estimate on the fun stats on the front-end.</p>
<p>In order for fun to be had and sustained, there must first be harmony between both parties, meaning both parties are on the same page.</p>
<p>By &#8220;being on the same page&#8221; I mean:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shared values &#8211; do you even know what your values are? If not, you&#8217;d better find out &#8211; otherwise how will you know if they are shared?</li>
<li>Compatibility &#8211; personality, style, taste, lifestyle, preferences&#8230;it doesn&#8217;t have to be everything compatible, but the important things.</li>
<li>Communication style &#8211; do they speak in tongues, parables or few words? How do you listen, speak and comprehend?</li>
<li>Conflict resolution style &#8211; do they fight it out, yell it out, bully you, withdraw and play weak, play dumb, suppress it or do they know about &#8220;non-violent communication&#8221; styles? Personally, I&#8217;m going with the latter.</li>
</ul>
<p>In an attempt to help myself do a better job of choosing fun, successful and profitable business partners and ventures in the future, next week I&#8217;m going to post a list of the Top 7 &#8220;Yay&#8221; or &#8220;Nay&#8221; Flags to A New Business Relationsip. This will serve as a guideline for me, and maybe you&#8217;ll find it useful for yourself as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eating a macrobiotic diet, I consume a good amount of rice.  When I say rice, I do NOT mean the processed rice from a box (even if it&#8217;s an &#8220;organic&#8221; brand), or even from those plastic bags of rice in the grocery store that look as if they&#8217;ve been imported from a third world country (no offense) and are about 1 million years old.</p>
<p>Nay, the rice to which I am referring is purchased from the bulk section of my local &#8220;health foods&#8221; or &#8220;natural foods&#8221; store.  I love the Golden Rose medium or short grain brown rice &#8211; it&#8217;s delish.</p>
<p>If you prepare this rice in the way I&#8217;m about to describe, you will not only have a wholesome grain prepared for the adults and children in your group &#8211; babies at early eating age (6 or 7 months in most cases) can also enjoy rice prepared this way.  It&#8217;s very digestible, smooth, creamy, and delicious! And oh yes, it&#8217;s very simple!</p>
<p>Step by step, here we go.<span id="more-447"></span></p>
<p>First of all, if you are anything like me, you do everything at the last minute.  In this case, <strong>you&#8217;ll need to have forethought and plan ahead by 1 day</strong>.  The rice needs to soak in clean, filtered water for at least 4 hours, and a 24 hour soak is wonderful.</p>
<p><strong>*Ingredient(s) List*</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Organic medium or short grain brown rice</li>
<li>Organic extra virgin olive oil (or what you have available)</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon natural mineral salt (you may prefer more salt &#8211; I prefer to go minimal)</li>
<li>Eden brand Tamari (kinda like soy sauce, but not toxic like most soy sauce on the market today)</li>
<li>Red Star brand nutritional yeast flakes</li>
<li>Organic apple cider vinegar</li>
</ul>
<p>You&#8217;ll need a nice pyrex or glass salad sized bowl as well as a medium sauce pan and wire strainer for your cooking gear.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Soak the organic brown rice</strong></p>
<p>Pour your measured amount (1 cup is enough for me and my son with leftovers for my lunch the next day) into the glass bowl and cover the rice about 1&#8243; above with filtered water.  Add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.</p>
<p>In case you are wondering, I believe the vinegar has something to do with balancing the pH of the water with the soaking rice, and it also helps dissolve some of the outer layer on the rice we are dissolving for a cleaner, more digestible meal.</p>
<p>Leave the rice soaking anywhere from <strong>4 hours to 24 hours</strong> (some people are extreme and will soak it for 48 hours- but they are also changing the water every 8 or so hours).  Honestly, <strong>if you can even soak it 1 hour</strong>, that&#8217;s great.  If you do opt for a full 24 hours, I would change the water half way through or thereabouts.  By &#8220;change the water&#8221; I mean pour off the water that&#8217;s in the bowl, maybe pour the rice through a strainer, and then just ad more water.  Don&#8217;t forget to add a new tablespoon of apple cider vinegar if you change the water.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Cook the rice</strong></p>
<p>Ready to cook the rice, you&#8217;ll need to pour off the water it&#8217;s been soaking in, I pour mine through my strainer into the sink.  I then rinse the rice with more clean water.</p>
<p>Pour the rinsed rice into the pot and add water.  The ratio of water to rice is 2.25.  So if you cook 1 cup of rice, put in 2 1/4 cups of water.</p>
<p>Turn the burner on at a low setting &#8211; for electric stoves that will be around the &#8220;2&#8243; mark, and for gas stoves, just a light flame.</p>
<p>Ideally, you want the rice to cook for 1.5 to 2.5 hours!  I know that seems like a long time&#8230;and it is.  The rice should come out very soft, but still formed &#8211; I&#8217;d say about 20% of the rice&#8217;s form is left.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Embellish &amp; Serve!</strong></p>
<p>I pour a tablespoon of olive oil, tablespoon of Tamari and a tablespoon of nutrition yeast per serving of rice (about 2 healthy scoops) for myself.  You can experiment to get the taste you like.</p>
<p>Let me know how you like it, did it turn out for you?</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>P.S. You may wish to put it in a food grinder for the baby but it should already be pretty mushy so if you don&#8217;t have a baby food grinder, you could also mash it with a fork.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aloha Ladies, Mamas, Goddesses~</p>
<p>I love the idea of the Standing Women circles and wish to connect with all of you so that you can add your voices to the collective cry for peace and prosperity for all on this earth.  The women below are quite inspiring, and you all are quite inspiring too.  We need as much inspiration added to our planet now as possible, so please join us!</p>
<p>~Lemuriangirl</p>
<p>*Cross Organizational Communique: Global Circles May 2010*</p>
<p>*In 2007 Standing Women unleashed a wave of pure energy to stand for a<br />
better world. We saw ordinary women from all over the world posting their<br />
intention that earth become a better home for its children.</p>
<p>In 2008 a worldwide economic crisis of unprecedented proportion revealed the<br />
greed and fear that drives many of our institutions. It became a concensus<br />
that change for the better was needed.</p>
<p>In 2009 the World Parliament of Religions celebrated the sacred feminine and<br />
indigenous wisdom, while the UN Copenhagen Climate Change Conference brought<br />
together a grassroots movement to protect our mother earth. New projects<br />
continue to unfold bringing a new wave of wisdom for change.</p>
<p>In 2010 women&#8217;s leadership and the role of women in public affairs is a<br />
major focus in the media. The call for women to come together for the sake<br />
of the earth and its children grows even stronger&#8230;<br />
&#8212;-From Standing Women&#8217;s<br />
invitation&lt;<a href="http://lightpages.net/intergroup.cfm?view=e335faf4101711982f14123d8cdde1d5%3Eto" target="_blank">http://lightpages.net/intergroup.cfm?view=e335faf4101711982f14123d8cdde1d5&gt;to</a><br />
stand together for a better world on May 9, 2010, 1 pm.<br />
*<span id="more-460"></span></p>
<p>The phrase &#8220;*Now is the time*&#8221; has been calling women together for some<br />
time, but never more intensely than it is in this moment. All of us are<br />
being awakened to the realities we live in, and many of us are feeling an<br />
urgency inside to act, often accompanied by a pregnant silence in which the<br />
question resounds&#8230; what is to be done?!</p>
<p>We are at the edge of evolution&#8230; the edge where *our every thought and<br />
action co-creates our future*. There is reason to pause until we feel<br />
peaceful and certain of our next steps&#8230;</p>
<p>When women come together in circle, in deep common intention, our unity<br />
opens a door for us to relax into who we really are, and from that place our<br />
wisdom flows. Initiatives that ask us to participate locally in a global<br />
intention are like *worldwide circles that can align us with our own truth<br />
in these uncertain times.*</p>
<p>*Please find below several &#8220;Global Circles&#8221;* that offer us moments of<br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br />
I tried this Osho meditation just now  and REALLY like it.  A ton of energy coming out.  It may seem a little  counter to releasing theory, but it actually does go along really well  with it.  Check it out and let me know what you think!</span></p>
<div>
<div>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Atisha&#8217;s Heart Meditation</strong></span></p>
<p>Atisha says: Train in  joining, sending and taking together. Do this  by riding  the  	breath.</p>
<p>Now he says: Start being compassionate. And the method is, when you  breathe      in &#8212; listen carefully, it is one of the greatest methods &#8212; when  you      breathe in, think that you are breathing in all the miseries of all  the      people in the world. All the darkness, all the negativity, all the  hell that      exists anywhere, you are breathing it in. And let it be absorbed in  your      heart.</p>
<p>You may have read or heard about the so-called positive thinkers of  the      West. They say just the opposite &#8212; they don&#8217;t know what they are  saying.      They say, &#8220;When you breathe out, throw out all your misery and  negativity;      and when you breathe in, breathe in joy, positivity, happiness,      cheerfulness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Atisha&#8217;s method is just the opposite: when you breathe in, breathe  in all      the misery and suffering of all the beings of the world &#8212; past,  present and      future. And when you breathe out, breathe out all the joy that you  have, all      the blissfulness that you have, all the benediction that you have.  Breathe      out, pour yourself into existence. This is the method of compassion:  drink      in all the suffering and pour out all the blessings.</p>
<p>And you will be surprised if you do it. The moment you take all the      sufferings of the world inside you, they are no longer sufferings.  The heart      immediately transforms the energy. The heart is a transforming  force: drink      in misery, and it is transformed into blissfulness&#8230; then pour it  out.</p>
<p>Once you have learned that your heart can do this magic, this  miracle, you      would like to do it again and again. Try it. It is one of the most  practical      methods &#8212; simple, and it brings immediate results. Do it today, and       see.</p>

<div>by Nisal Karuiyaratna</div>
<p>According to the ancient Vedic thought, there are seven circles (Chakras) of energy referred to as energy wheels in the human body. These are present along the meridian of the body.  Certain mystical practitioners even believe the number of these wheels to be fourteen.</p>
<p>Beginning at the base (believed to be either the bottom end of the spine or the genitals) they go right up to the top of the head, the crown.  In between there are: the orange chakra of the womb or belly; the golden chakra of the solar plexus; the green chakra of the heart; the blue chakra of the throat; and the indigo chakra known as the third eye, on the center of the forehead. The base chakra is red, and the crown chakra is violet right above the head but as its circumference extends outward, away from the head, it turns whiter.</p>
<p>As well as each chakra being associated with a particular color, they are numbered from one to seven with the base chakra being number one and the crown chakra being number seven.</p>
<p>Chakra one controls sexual health, physical strength and vitality.  The second chakra is responsible for all of our creative powers.  The third chakra is responsible for our desires and what we want.  The fourth chakra commands the energy of our emotional life and opens us upto giving and receiving love.  The fifth chakra gives us communicative power, loops our emotions in with our thinking, and gives us personal magnetism.  Chakra six influences a person&#8217;s intuition, psychic powers and insights, also referred to as the sixth sense.  The final chakra, number seven located at the crown of the head is what is responsible for our astral voyages.</p>
<p>It is observed that people, who have divine interventions, are actually focusing the energy of the seventh chakra. This chakra focuses on cosmic awareness. It is this cosmic awareness, which is annexed and passed onto the second chakra during artistic practices. It is accessed on shamanic journeys too.  The chakras spin in their natural state. If they are healthy then they will spin and will then provide you with the optimum energies you need. If however they become unbalanced they can not spin and you will therefore experience illness or sickness in one or more of the areas outlined.</p>
<p>The secret to health is that these chakras should be balanced. In case evenone wheel is more active than others, the result can be addictions, neuroses, obsessive-compulsive disorders or unintentional cruelty.  There is constant worry that these chakras will become blocked. For instance, some people who possess a negative attitude towards sexual relations or have a poor diet will experience ill health or broken romantic relations primarily because they have disturbed the base red chakra.  The seventh chakra is prone to disruption in people who are forever thinking of negative actions towards others like working black magic. When this purple-white wheel is disturbed, the cosmic connection is hampered. Consequently the person feels bitter, fearful, and empty.  A freely spinning energy wheel will be characteristically flexible.</p>
<p>Here is a sample of one of the wonderful chakra meditations offered  at chakra-balance.com or on youtube.</p>
<div><object width="454" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qs_DuZigRzY&amp;hl&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qs_DuZigRzY&amp;hl&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="454" height="364"></embed></object></div>
<p>The human mind has the power to receive good vibes and ward off bad and negative ones. It is just like a hand, which can open and close when required but if broken, it will not function. Similarly a healthy chakra will open and close as per the vibes it encounters.  The way to use chakra therapy is to focus in a balanced way on each one of the seven major energy categories that each chakra commands. This should be done on a daily basis.  Take each major energy category and at some point each day meditate upon how its aspects are manifesting-or not manifesting-in your life, and as you do this visualize your body&#8217;s energy residing in that particular chakra. If you find your energy waning in any category, meditate on the steps you can take to make that category healthy and cleanse the related chakra.  Some people find that meditating on a gem stone the same color as the chakra wheel allows them to get a clear image in their mind of what actions they need to take to make it healthier.</p>
<p>Recent advances in audio technology has also made it possible to just listen to the particular frequency of each chakra which results in your own chakra resonating at that same frequency resulting in it automatically becoming balanced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010 &#8211; THIS IS THE YEAR OF MANIFESTATION<br />
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles</p>
<p><a href="http://eraofpeace.org/" target="_blank">http://eraofpeace.org</a></p>
<p>Every single day there are billions of people on this planet who in one way or another ask God for assistance and Divine Intervention in their lives. These heartfelt pleas from the masses of Humanity have been heard and our prayers are being answered. The floodgates of Heaven have opened, and the Beings of Light have come through the veil to assist us in unprecedented ways.</p>
<p>For several decades Lightworkers around the world have been invoking the Light of God and empowering our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions to heal the maladies existing on Earth. Our unified intention was to transform this planet and all her Life into her ultimate destiny, which is Heaven on Earth. With such a monumental job our efforts often seemed futile, but that was an illusion. Every effort to add to the Light of the world is significant and moves us closer to our goal.</p>
<p>Now it is being revealed by the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth that we have succeeded far beyond outer appearances. In fact, we have reached a tipping point that will allow 2010 to be the year of manifestation. This means it is time for our visions, our hopes, our dreams, and the patterns of perfection for the New Earth to begin tangibly manifesting in the physical plane. In order for this to occur, however, the Beings of Light have indicated that there is a very important factor that needs to be addressed.</p>
<p>Over the past two years we have witnessed everything that conflicts with Heaven on Earth being pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted into Light. The old paradigms of greed and corruption, which have trapped Humanity in the oppressive grip of poverty, war, hatred, pain, and suffering of every kind are crumbling before our very eyes. As a result of this purging, many people are going through incredibly challenging things in every facet of their lives. This is causing people all over the world to feel helpless and overwhelmed.</p>
<p>This situation is creating fear and giving people the erroneous impression that things are getting progressively worse, which has triggered millions of people to respond to their challenges in a desperate survival mode. This is the opposite of the COCREATION MODE and the CONSCIOUSNESS OF ONENESS that is necessary for the manifestation of the New Earth.</p>
<p>To counteract this trend the Company of Heaven has devised a plan, and they are invoking the participation of Lightworkers to bring the plan to fruition. This involves the greatest need of the hour and it will take the cooperative efforts of people all over the world in order to succeed.</p>
<p>The Beings of Light have revealed that pulsating in the Etheric Realms above Washington, D. C. is a complex of 5th-Dimensional Violet Flame Temples. The Beings of Light within these Temples have been preparing for millennia for this Cosmic Moment in the Earth’s evolution. The frequencies of Divine Light that are necessary in order to transcend the current state of affairs on Earth pulsate within these Temples. These are the frequencies of the 5th-Dimensional Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection that reverberate with the Divine Qualities of Freedom, Liberty, Divine Justice, and Victory.</p>
<p>Even though we are familiar with these attributes of God, the intensity of Divine Light that will be released into the physical plane of Earth when this Portal of Light is opened to full breadth has never been experienced on Earth. The Beings of Light have indicated that these gifts from our Father-Mother God will allow the I AM Presence of each evolving soul to FREE us from the manipulation of our fragmented, fear-based human egos. This wayward aspect of our personality has perpetuated our &#8220;dog-eat-dog&#8221; and &#8220;looking-out-for-number-one&#8221; survival modes for aeons of time. This distorted perception has prevented us from healing our self-inflicted separation from God and each other.</p>
<p>Saint Germain is the Hierarch of these Temples and he works closely with Archangel Michael, and all of the Beings of Light associated with the Violet Flame, who serve within these Temples. Saint Germain is orchestrating this facet of the unfolding Divine Plan, and he will guide us step by step throughout this year.</p>
<p>The activity of Light that we are being called to fulfill is not associated with governments specifically, but it certainly involves every person in the governments of the world at national, state, and local levels. It also includes every man, woman, and child on Earth.</p>
<p>We all know that fundamental change never begins at the top. It is cocreated through the unified efforts of dedicated people working together at a grass roots level. This is one of those fundamental changes. The Divine Intent of this facet of the Divine Plan is to open the portal for the Light of God that will clear the way for the physical manifestation of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth. This includes our hopes, dreams, and everything we have been working toward for several decades while striving to cocreate Heaven on Earth.</p>
<p>This facet of the Divine Plan which is now being revealed to us by the Company of Heaven involves every man, woman, and child on Earth. This is true whether a person is aware of the plan or not. Since your I AM Presence brought this information into your conscious awareness, it means that you have a greater ability and a greater responsibility to work with the Beings of Light in bringing this activity of Light to fruition.</p>
<p>There will be several ways in which people will participate. The most important thing for us to consider is that we have all been preparing for lifetimes for this opportunity. We each have been trained by our I AM Presence to fulfill a particular part of this Divine Plan. It is imperative that we ask our I AM Presence for guidance. Then, we must listen to the inner promptings of our heart to learn what our part of this mission is.</p>
<p>Our Father-Mother God and the entire Company of Heaven are asking Lightworkers around the world to respond to this clarion call. We are being asked to increase our service to the Light. This, in fact, is why we were given the privilege of embodying on Earth during this auspicious moment of Earth’s Ascension.</p>
<p>Lightworkers from all over the world are being asked to gather within the forcefield of the Etheric Violet Flame Temples of Liberty, Freedom, Divine Justice, and Victory, which pulsate above Washington, D. C. and the surrounding areas. Together we will form a mighty transformer of Light through which the Light of God will pour to open this portal of Light to full breadth. We will serve as surrogates on behalf of ALL Humanity, and through the transformer of our unified Heart Flames, the I AM Presence of every man, woman, and child will receive this unprecedented influx of Divine Light.</p>
<p>This must be a joint effort. No matter how capable the Legions of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth are or how committed these Beings are to helping us cocreate Heaven on Earth, they cannot do it for us. They can only respond to our willingness to serve as instruments of God in the physical plane. But, amazingly, once we respond to our heart’s call and volunteer to do whatever it takes to be the Open Door that no one can shut, the floodgates of Heaven open to assist us.</p>
<p>These selfless messengers of God have been given permission by our Father-Mother God to amplify our efforts a thousand times a thousandfold. This means that the more Lightworkers who respond to this clarion call, the more powerful we will be and the more Light the Company of Heaven will be able to add to this Divine Plan.</p>
<p>The vehicle that will be used to gather Lightworkers within the forcefield of Freedom, Liberty, Divine Justice, Victory, and the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection is the 24th Annual World Congress on Illumination. This event will take place over the anniversary of Harmonic Convergence, August 14-19, 2010, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia.</p>
<p>Ask your I AM Presence what your part is in this Divine Plan. Listen to your heart, and you will KNOW. If you have the heart call to travel to Arlington, Virginia, which is in the surrounding area of Washington, D. C., to serve Humanity and all Life in this way, ask the Company of Heaven for assistance. The floodgates of Heaven will open to pave the way for you to attend this activity of Light. Be open, be receptive, and Trust.</p>
<p>Our website contains all of the information you will need in order to participate in the 24th  Annual World Congress on Illumination, please go to the link at the bottom of this e-mail.  Read everything carefully and feel the elation pouring forth from the Heavenly Realms. The 5th-Dimensional Violet Flame frequencies of Liberty, Freedom, Divine Justice, Victory, and God’s Infinite Perfection are going to tangibly manifest on Earth and set us FREE!!</p>
<p>WAYS TO PARTICIPATE</p>
<p>There will be many ways in which Lightworkers all over the world will participate in this unprecedented opportunity. Many will have the heart call to serve as the Hands of God on behalf of ALL Humanity. They will travel to Arlington, Virginia, to become part of the mighty transformer through which the Light of God will flow to open the portal of Freedom, Liberty, Divine Justice, Victory, and the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection.</p>
<p>Some Lightworkers will be inspired to travel to various sacred sites to anchor these patterns into Mother Earth’s Crystal Grid System. Others will gather with groups in their own locations to weave their Light into this unified activity of Light. And still others will join in consciousness from the solitude of their own sanctuaries.</p>
<p>All of these ways of participating are vital to the success of this Divine Mission. The important thing is that you truly listen to your heart and respond according to YOUR particular facet of this Divine Plan. No matter where you are guided to be, know that we are ALL One.</p>
<p>Precious One, your Light and Love are needed NOW!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Coconuts are a bountiful gift to this planet. In Sanskrit (the mother language of India), the coconut palm is known as &#8216;kalpa vriksha&#8217;, meaning &#8216; the tree that supplies all that is needed to live.&#8217; An ancient plant that is distantly related to grasses, the coconut has been used as a food and medicine since the dawn of history. Ayurveda (the art of science and medicine that has its roots in India) has long advocated the therapeutic, medicinal and cosmetic properties of  coconuts.</p>
<p>The coconut&#8217;s liquid filtration system is one of the reasons why this beloved plant is so nourishing. Every liter of water in its shell takes almost nine months to be drawn up and through the plant, where it is deposited in the nut. More electrolytes are found in coconut water than in most other plants, making it an ideal hydrating liquid. Drinking a mixture of 55% coconut and 45% green juice gives the body an immediate burst of natural energy.</p>
<p>A completely saturated medium-chain fatty acid (remember: not all saturated fats are bad!), coconut oil contains no cholesterol and does not form dangerous trans-fatty acids. The medium-chain fatty acids (MCT&#8217;s) in coconut oil possess incredible health giving benefits requiring less energy and fewer enzymes to digest, allowing the body to quickly convert the MCT&#8217;s into usable energy. Even better than olive oil for lowering overall cholesterol levels, coconut oil is stable at high temperatures (up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit), making it an excellent choice for use in cooking.</p>
<p>In terms of its nutritive and cosmetic applications, coconut oil is one of the most important oils in the spectrum of fats. It is useful to the thyroid, helping the production of anti-aging steroids, DHEA, pregnenolone and progesterone. Heart disease, cancer, obesity, senility and other common diseases related to aging are abated by these steroids. Capryllic and lauric acid are also found in coconut, which both help control bacteria, funguses and viruses in the body. In fact, caprilyc acid is the most effective combatant for yeast invasions, making coconut a good oil to work with regulating systemic and localized flare-ups. If these qualities aren&#8217;t enough, using coconut oil as your oil of choice in cooking can help regulate blood sugar, aiding harmony in all body systems. When using coconut oil medicinally, adults should use at least two or three tablespoons daily.</p>
<p>Cooking with coconut oil is a delightful way to introduce this supplement into your life. Try using it instead of margarine, butter or other vegetable oils. Also, consider using fresh coconuts that are not too old (i.e., forgo the coconut shavings and buy a whole coconut instead).The flesh is primarily fat, and it can be chopped and eaten with fruit for a delectable treat. Coconut oil is also great as an oil for veggies, tossed into your morning smoothie or slathered on bread with spices or preserves. If you&#8217;re looking for a way to enhance oats or rice, coconut oil adds a special note to a normally humble dish.</p>
<p>Coconut&#8217;s reputation as a skin nutrient is well-documented, and people with many skin types can benefit from its moisture-giving qualities. In aromatherapy, both virgin and fractionated coconut oils are used. A way to see the<br />
difference is to remember that virgin coconut oil looks more like coconut flesh. It is a solid fat that is used in both cooking and body care, and it can be mixed with aromatic oils. While it is certainly a dense oil, virgin coconut oil doesn&#8217;t leave the skin feeling too oily, as it is absorbed rapidly. Fractionated coconut has similar qualities, but it is made by physically reducing the size of the fat molecule, removing the section of the molecule that makes it a solid. This creates a liquid oil that has no odor, lasts a long time (its molecular structure makes it &#8220;fully saturated,&#8221; meaning it has no atomic space for oxygen to attach, thereby deteriorating the oil) and is quickly consumed by the skin. Sometimes coconut is mixed with other oils, like jojoba, resulting in a nutrient-rich cream. With so many coconut oils to choose from, mixing coconut with aromatic oils is a simple way to add to your health and beauty regimen.</p>
<p>A final thought on coconuts: in addition to being a medicine, a food and a skin moisturizer, coconut oil is also an excellent erotic oil. The smell and taste of this oil can enhance sexual intercourse. Try making a yummy natural body lotion including coconut oil blended with essential oils of cacao and vanilla. Lather this on the skin of your beloved and enjoy the results.</p>
<p>In terms of versatility, the coconut is a marvel of nature and a perfect oil to work with in aromatherapy and nutritional healing. It can be used in body work, cooking and skin care, and its radiance is highlighted when complemented with essential oils. Use it in any form and expect results &#8211; the coconut has long been our friend, and its beneficial qualities continue to be discovered and cherished the world over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The date of my last post? May 13th, 2009.  Wow 5 months ago&#8230;seems like a lifetime ago.  Ever hot on the trail of my mission to become Liberated &#8211; Moksha &#8211; Truly Free on all levels, I now find me and my son another 700 miles away from our last home location.</p>
<p>It has been a rocky ride for the little man.  He does not like setting up shop in one place, getting used to it and then all the sudden we are smack dab in he middle of a new scene, new challenges, no name, no face.  To him it&#8217;s simple: Hawaii.  It&#8217;s where we were both the happiest we&#8217;ve ever felt in our lives.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a rocky ride for me as well, the act of keeping all the things I have going continuing through these transitions has been treacherous.  I&#8217;m happy to feel at last grounded.  Hawaii still beckons, but it is a quieter call. It knows we are where we are meant and destined to be right in this very moment.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been relentless in my pursuit, now I&#8217;m relentlessly not going to move again until it is the way the truly Gifted, Blessed and Intellegent folk of this planet net &#8211; easfully and gracefully.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not as ideal weather-wise where we are now.  Up until now it&#8217;s been tropical, bright and sunny places.  Something totally different and new. Goddess Bless us on our path to total Fulfillment, Joy and Peace. I am only doing the best I can, see my earnest effort and bless me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m starting a step by step, day by day action plan IM program (MOIS).  It&#8217;d be swell if this thing really worked out this time. Peace and Love y&#8217;all, til we speak again. Aloha~</p>
