<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If we have entered a new age then what proceed it was new ideas! One of those new ideas you may be investigating is that we are multidimensional beings active in both time and non-time simultaneously. What that means is we are straddling realities. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The things which are manifesting in our physical realm are teaching us how to manipulate energy into concrete objects and events. Physical events and objects are first formed in our inner &#8216;being by the beliefs and desires we aligned with at the moment. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are endless probabilities which surround each and every event we</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">have experienced in our life but it&#8217;s the one we aligned with that manifested in our physical reality. All events were possible but the one we experienced was an expression of our thoughts, attitudes, and feelings at the time.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We may believe and have this knowledge but it can&#8217;t bring great changes until we apply it! Within us are the tools to transform a caterpillar into a butterfly. The question is are we ready and willing to apply ourselves to the process of change? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our universe is practical and there are practical steps we can take to direct ourselves in the process of change. So knowing it has been thoughts, beliefs, and feelings which have created much of what we don&#8217;t want, it only stands to reason that they are the same tools we can use to create what we do want!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The key is to begin implementing ideas that are able to move us in the direction of conscious choice. In truth, there are many paths which will lead us there and we can choose the one which works for us but it&#8217;s up to us to explore those choices.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few things I have embraced as truth which have helped me choose paths of growth are:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. We are consciousness that has chosen to enter this physical realm to learn how to manipulate the building blocks of creation which is energy. Every thought and emotion we emit has an electromagnetic energy which connects to others like it and eventually manifests into physical events and objects.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. We are always surrounded with every possibility for what can manifest in our lives. We choose what manifests though our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. That means the power to change our life resides and is governed by our inner self which is choosing what manifests in our life moment by moment.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. Each of us is connected to a source of great power which resides within us. That power is always creating our physical reality and keeping us alive. It is also responsible for what is manifesting in our physical reality.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4. A way to start making conscious choices and use the power available within us is by beginning to listen to our inner voice&#8217;s advice and follow it. I once heard Oprah say that whenever she did not take the advice of her inner voice she ended up in a deep mess. I have found this to be true in my life too. Many times I have heard a voice trying to lead or warn me of the direction I was getting ready to take and then my intellect stepped into to quiet it. Reason took over and I ended up manifesting events and things I didn&#8217;t want! Hopefully I have learned from this and I now listen more attentively to my inner voice&#8217;s guidance.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As we align with this inner all-knowing voice in a deeper way we will begin to trust and allow it to guide us. We have come here to become powerful co- creators of a new reality and learning to make conscious choices is a key to our transformation and manifesting a new reality in our life!</span></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.4em;">If you have ever wonder what impact you can make as just one person take a look at the life of Nelson Mandela. A True World Changer!</span></p>
<p>Nelson Mandela represents the trump of the Human Spirit on an epic scale. He demonstrated what is possible for each one of us and how we as “one person” can change our world.</p>
<p>He devoted his life to the service of his people and lost his freedom to enable others to gain theirs. Archbishop Desmond Tutu described Nelson Mandela as a man of enormous compassion, generosity and forgiveness. May we take the time to look at the life of this great man who walked among us so we can learn from his profound wisdom and sacrifices.</p>
<p>Mandela was probably one of the most respected and most loved leaders of the late 20th Century. He personified the peaceful and rapid transition of power in South Africa that many thought was impossible.</p>
<p>“<span style="font-size: large;">It always seems impossible until it&#8217;s done.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Nelson Mandela (Also all the following quotes in this article) </span></p>
<p>Does that speak to us as a people called to look beyond the darkness the world is projecting to a New World emerging? One that embodies peace, love, and brotherhood for all races, religions, colors, and beliefs? May we remember this quote when things LOOK impossible! We are here just as Nelson Mandela was to harness the impossible and bring it into reality! Scripture says: “With God (our inner Divine Being) nothing is impossible.”</p>
<p>“<span style="font-size: large;">I learned that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not one who does not feel fear but he is one who conquers that fear”</span></p>
<p>Nelson Mandela was jailed for 27 years but refused to compromise his principles or let go of his dream of freedom for his people. What little things hold us back from our dreams of a world in unity and oneness? Could a little remark by someone offend us or not being treated or recognized like we feel we should? Could that make us pull away in anger or unforgiveness and delay our course? Remember this amazing man who allowed nothing to steal his dream or stop his destiny if tempted to react in that way.</p>
<p>His dream was of a democracy not based on tribal, racial or political identity but on the need for the full participation of all. We are here at this moment to hold a vision of a world where all humanity participates in their own Divinity. A world that works for all people no matter who they are or where they live!</p>
<p>On the day Mandela was released from prison after 27 years he said these words I believe speak to us today: “Our long march for freedom is irreversible.” He believed in his vision and then brought it into reality in South Africa and we can do the same in our world!</p>
<p>Because of the Leadership of Nelson Mandela who went from prison to Presidency, the Constitution in South Africa now reflects the vision of a nation with no outcasts of any of its citizens. He inspired protection for children, women and gays in S. Africa. We&#8217;re here to do the same. The irreversible march to freedom is for the freedom of All Humanity!</p>
<p>Mr. Mandela never lost sight of the ordinary small actions of individuals and how they could transform even the most brutal situations. He believed every action taken in pursuit of Human Oneness and Freedom matters!</p>
<p>“<span style="font-size: large;">A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community would go a long way in making the world a place we so passionately dream of.”</span></p>
<p>Today Robben Island where he was imprisoned is a shrine pointing to how unimaginable hardship can give way to hope. We will probably never go through the things Nelson Mandela did but the question we must ask ourselves is this: Can we keep the flame of hope burning as brightly as he did no matter the circumstances in our life? Can we have and offer the unconditional love and forgiveness he was able to offer even to those who abused and imprisoned him? If you listened to Maya&#8217;s tribute to him she said that at his inauguration as President of S. African he courteously invited the guards from the prison he was in to come and sit in the front row. Could we do that?</p>
<p>“<span style="font-size: large;">Truly effective leadership can never be separated from an All-consuming love for humanity.”</span></p>
<p>President Obama said this: “Nelson Mandela lived for an ideal and made it real. He sacrificed his freedom for the freedom of others. He demonstrated what humans can do when they&#8217;re guided by their hopes and not fears. A free South Africa at peace with its self is his legacy.”</p>
<p>Nelson Manuela’s life left us critical lessons! He was an irrepressible transformer and a nucleus of change. He displayed humility, strength and forgiveness but much more than that He Was Love! That was his greatest gift to the world and it was the power of that unconditional love that allowed him to save and transform S. Africa. He also changed the world far more than he allowed the world to change him!</p>
<p>On his 90th Birthday in 2010 he spoke about the cause of freedom that he committed his life to. He said: “After 90 years of life it is time for new hands to lift the burden. It&#8217;s in your hands now.”</p>
<p>The legacy Nelson Mandela left each us is a great hope and an invitation to realize the inclusive freedom that is there for all humanity. He left us a vision of the possibility of a World at One With Itself and he also left us with these words:</p>
<p align="CENTER">IT IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW!</p>
<p>May the wake of his life continue to press us onward!</p>
<p>With A Grateful Heart Nelson Mandela walked among us!</p>

They are becoming aware they’re not powerless Beings &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.nbocenter.com/masterful-creators/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our vast Universe a small planet is Waking Up!  It’s waking to Oneness and its connection to all things.  Its people are awakening to see life in a whole different way.  They are becoming aware they’re not powerless Beings society, religion, systems, and structures have led them to believe. They are coming to grips with truth…They are Masterful Creators!</p>
<p>For thousands of years humans have been content to turn their power over to politicians, priests, doctors, teachers, Gurus, and leaders of all kinds.  That day has come to an end! Man is awakening to his true divine intelligence as we enter the Cosmic Age and nothing can stop him. He’s awakening to an inner knowing which transcends death and is able to transform our world at all levels.</p>
<p>Every person has encoded within the very cells of their body the power of co-creation. It has been used unconsciously until this magnificent moment of awakening!</p>
<p>The message superseding all others at this crucial moment is a message of man’s very purpose for being.  It’s a message which encourages mankind to access, become fully conscious of, and exercises the Divine power within him.  This amazing power has the ability to transform humanity as we know it and the very planet we live on!</p>
<p>Many today are caught up in the “evils” or darkness of the world. They study every ominous event happening on the planet in the pretext of “being informed.”  People are continually sending me the latest conspiracy theories and how they will effect our time.  I do not negate conspiracies have been taking place for thousands of years, what I do disagree with is their influence in this pivotal moment of mans history.  Many of them are in the process of crashing of their own volition today because their time has elapsed; others are coming down because man has chosen to put its energy towards light instead of darkness.</p>
<p>My question is; what good does it do to study the darkness?  Here is a quote I love from spiritual author &amp; speaker Wayne Dyer:</p>
<h3>“You can’t discover light by analyzing the darkness”</h3>
<p>The statement rings true for me.  As far as I am concerned I am searching for greater light and I don’t need to study darkness to find it! I am now convinced spending my precious time analyzing dark places, events and plans won’t help me discover light! What good does it do to read and listen to all the negative information out there today?  Its part of an old paradigm system which is passing away as the light on our earth becomes brighter.</p>
<p>Man is here to rediscover and access his own field of divine light which is the <strong>Final Frontier</strong>! This Final Frontier is heralding in a new vision of leadership on our planet.</p>
<p>If I asked what does a new leader look like how would you answer?  My vision of a new leader is one who exposes what doesn’t work or serve any longer while illuminating new ways. These new ways don’t just serve the “chosen few” but will bring forth a world which serves the good of all humanity. New leaders are rising as conscious Masterful Creators who live from the knowledge of their oneness and connection with all things.  They realize what they do to others they are doing to themselves.  There is no “them and us” anymore in their reality.</p>
<p>New leaders are creating communities of co-operation where people gather to share their gifts and creative ideas.  These new communities are emerging everywhere on the planet today.  In them each person has the freedom to convey their own expression of divinity.  These new emerging leaders are coming out of the Universal call for wisdom.</p>
<p>New leadership is birthing from a heart space, from a calling which can’t be denied.  These leaders have a deep knowing they have come at this time of evolution to help creation.  It’s not about monetary gain for the new leaders, but about releasing a message of hope and allowing people to access their own divine power, no matter what it cost the leaders personally.</p>
<p>The movie <em>Avatar</em> has been said to be the second biggest grossing picture in history.  Why? Was it because of all the action and special effects? Not by along shot!  It has to do with the deep message of our universal inter-connectedness with all of creation.  It brought to light the futility of the insane destruction of people, resources and our beautiful Mother Earth! People are awakening and beginning to resonate with the message. Man is awakening to the insanity of war and destruction which they have created and realizing there is another way.</p>
<p>“Get still, get quiet, and listen for the still small voice within,” is the message of the new leader today.  It’s no longer teaching about solutions outside of man but its illuminating the divine power hidden inside.  This is the eternal, infinite power which has the ability to bring forth new solutions and will allow our planet to survive….and survive it will!</p>
<p>Man has fallen down the rabbit hole and been listening to the Mad Hatter! He’s been swearing what is so is not so, and what is not so is so, and man has believed him! The good news is humanity is awakening to know truth from a deeper reality.  Even though everything in the world “appears” to be terrible and “looks” like there is no way out, man is ascending the illusion. They are awakening to the insanity of it all.</p>
<p>It reminds me of the profound statement of Yeshua: “In the world (of appearances) you will have tribulation and trials, distress, frustration; but be of good cheer (take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted) For I have overcome the world (Deprived the realm of time, space and matter its power) He also said He was not of this world and neither are we!  What world; the illusionary world of appearances which has held us captive. We have within us the power to transcend that world.  In fact, it is our very purpose at this moment.  We are here as visionaries and Masterful Creators of a new world which is emerging and Midwives to a new humanity being birthed.</p>
<p>New leaders are true to themselves and their message. They cannot be swayed by opinions of man. They are not looking for approval and acceptance but are developing connections on deeper levels than ever before. It takes courage to speak and stand firm in truth, new leaders are doing just that because humanity is hungry for truth.</p>
<p>Anyone trying to keep man from owning his own power of inner divine intelligence is coming from an old, dying paradigm of leadership and structure. It will no longer be palatable to those awakening and will soon fade into oblivion. The NEW has come and it is relentless in its purpose!</p>
<p>Man no longer has to go to a cave in Tibet to access their divine essence.  Anyone is able to touch their inner power but it evolves a choice by each of us.  What will you choose?</p>
<p>The Great Journey of awakening is all about bringing our true wisdom through and acting on it day by day and moment by moment. It’s about making our decisions, relationships, and actions align with wisdom and therefore transforming our lives. As our lives transform so will our planet.</p>
<p>There is so much happening at this incredible time in history which is supporting us on our path, but it still requires choice!</p>
<p>Gregg Braden agrees and says this:</p>
<p>“We’ve entered A Choosing Point on this planet”</p>
<p>“We can choose to continue to keep bumbling along with our emotion and mental programs or we can say; Please, I’m ready to let all this step aside and I’m ready to let the Real Me, the Divine Me run the show and we can do it consciously.”</p>
<p>So who are these new emerging leaders? They are emerging from sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.  They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and ages. They don’t wear a uniform or seek any glory. Most of them work anonymously behind the scenes.  They don’t care who takes the final credit but simply that the work gets done.</p>
<p>These leaders are slowly creating a new world with the power of their minds and hearts. They are transforming the planet with random acts of kindness in unique ways.  They know that “Love” is the new religion of the 21st century.  An evolutionary pulse beats within whispering:</p>
<h3>Be the change you want to see in the world</h3>
<p>They have made a choice, drawn a line in the sand; they are seeking the light and focusing on it no matter appearances.  An inner revolution has taken place and they know they have been called to the higher light of a new reality. They see it, know it, and talk about it wherever asked.  It is the very beat of their heart and it is synchronizing with Universal purpose and with others across the planet.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">Perhaps you are hearing the call to rise as a new leader and realizing the choice is between two worlds at this moment. There is an overlapping of time as the old ways and the new ways coincide. We are now rewriting the code of consciousness individually and collectively.</span></p>
<p>At this critical moment the choice is yours; will you hold on to the old or embrace the new and rise up as a new leader of a new world of love, oneness and Divine unity</p>
<p>All of creation is on tiptoes in anticipation of your choice!</p>
<p>Travel Well Precious New Leaders,</p>
<p>- MaryLou</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012, an explosive topic! The subject has created plenty of controversy and differing ideas of what it means to mankind and our planet. Since so many have written about their beliefs, I feel it’s fair to continue to add my own viewpoint to the list. It may or may not align with what you believe, but it will definitely plant a seed of great expectancy and hope for many!</p>
<p>Could 2012 contain an ancient forecast for today of profound importance? Could it be heralding in a new reality and a turning point for us as a people? Is it possibly opening gateways into agreement and alignment with our authentic power as divine beings and each other? Let’s explore.</p>
<p>Many ancient texts, calendars, and hieroglyphics point to an unprecedented quantum leap in human consciousness at this time. They open possibilities of an emerging universal human with abilities to create new solutions for mans’ so called problems. In truth, the date 2012 seems to point to a new era of alignment, agreement and power!</p>
<p>The 9th and last wave of the Mayan Calendar has shifted our planet into the energies of universal consciousness and oneness. The calendar reveals a 16.4 billion year cycle of evolution coming to an end. Its end will bring forth a new pioneering and transformational cycle on our earth! Old ways of being and doing will no longer be supported by the new emerging energies of this time.</p>
<p>We are also at the end of the zodiac’s 26,000 years cycle. The world has entered the Age of Aquarius which has occurred only six times before, therefore this is the seventh! Seven as many of you know, is a very significant number revealing completion, perfection and spiritual manifestation. The heavens indeed are declaring the glory of God if we have eyes to see!</p>
<p>It’s interesting how many ancient texts also contain clues for the time we are now living. One of these is the Bible. When Moses was directed to possess the “promised land” (a type and shadow of our world at peace, oneness and harmony) he sent twelve spies in ahead to bring back a report. He asked the spies to look over the land and people and tell him whether it would be possible for them to possess the land. Here’s what ten of the spies reported to Moses. They advised him it would be impossible for Israel to possess the promise land! Relying only on what they observed, they believed the people were too strong for Israel to overcome and even more, they reported seeing giants in the land!</p>
<p>Two of the spies had a very different report. Joshua and Caleb came into agreement and brought back this suggestion; “Let’s go up at once and posses the land for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We Are Well Able</span> to overcome.” A powerful illustration for us as we enter 2012!</p>
<p>If we were sent into the world at this time in history and asked to report back whether a small group of people could change the world, what would we say? Would world peace look possible? As we ventured out into the world we would observe wars, disease, hunger, financial insecurity, governments tumbling, turbulent weather conditions and much more. Because of this physical evidence what report would we bring back? Would we conclude those of us awakened would not be strong enough to make a difference? Would our report say there were too many “giant” problems and they were impossible to solve? Would our report say it was ridiculous to believe a small group of people could change our world and bring in peace?</p>
<p>Here’s how the story unfolded for Israel thousands of years ago. Let’s see if we can find a key for today.</p>
<p>Because of the fearful report of the ten spies, Israel traveled around in circles for 40 years and did not enter the Promised Land. Moses was never allowed to enter and all those over 20 years of age had to die before the others could go in.</p>
<p>The powerful example for us today was in the report of Joshua and Caleb. These two came into agreement that they were <span style="text-decoration: underline;">WELL ABLE</span> to possess the land and should do so at once! They created a power between them which was unconquerable! Through the power of agreement with truth, they were the ones who finally were able to possess the Promise Land!</p>
<p>Could the story of these spies be an allegory for us? Definitely it is! We have entered a new cycle where we can no longer live from physical senses. We are awakening to our innate divine power which stretches far beyond natural senses and abilities. It has never been a question of abilities, but always whether we could come into alignment with infinite power!</p>
<p>The time is Now for us to gather with others who have awakened and begin declaring the undisputable truth of the ages. We Are Well Able to create a world of peace, harmony, and oneness!</p>
<p>Within the following scripture is another example of our inherent power; God spoke those things that weren’t as though they were and they manifested. Hello god!</p>
<p>How much plainer can our job description be in this critical moment? Those of us who have pulled back the veil of illusion and seen the Promised Land, a world at peace, harmony and oneness, must step forth with courage and vision and begin to proclaim eternal truth!</p>
<p>In the last few years many have been engulfed with fear. They have distressed over joblessness, financial ruin, and the uncertainly of world conditions. They have seen structures, leaders and governments fall and it’s been shocking! The good news is, fear and distress can become a learning muscle if we allow it!</p>
<p>As we take a deeper look into history we begin to realize, there are cycles in our individual lives, our planet, and the universe. The earth we live on is entering a brand new season of her life. She’s no longer in the cycle of her youth. The cycle she’s entered will affect all life on this planet. Humanity will have to begin to think and behave differently to move in union with her new cycle.</p>
<p>Many are worried about changes and what they’ll bring, but there are those who see past the veil. These visionaries are seeing a birthing of a new humanity. They are seeing monumental planetary solutions coming forth because of the urgency our planet is directing. These are the Pioneers and Revolutionaries coming forth in this Cosmic Moment!</p>
<p>These Revolutionaries see 2012 as a time the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cap of Limitation </span>is being blown off as they gather in oneness. They are declaring, “We Are Well Able” to bring forth a world which works for the good of all! We feel more sure of what we’re here to do, who we are, and why we’ve come than ever before! They realize man is going through a turning point of consciousness and 2012 will be a year to align and agree with those of like minds.</p>
<p>2012 has brought forth a need for communities of like minded people to gather as never before. The prophet Amos gives a key: “Can two walk together except they agree?” Agreement is essential in this critical moment. It carries the potential to change our world! This is why many are longing for connection and community with those headed in the same direction as they are.</p>
<p>The story of Moses and the spies opens a window to see the power of alignment more clearly. First, it reveals the power of wrong alignment with the belief, “We will not be able.” Those aligned with a lie were not allowed to enter. Only Caleb and Joshua from the twelve entered the Promise Land. It reveals alignment not rooted in truth is disastrous! When a car is out of alignment it pulls to one side. If you take your hands off the wheel you may end up in a ditch or keep going around in circles. That’s exactly what happened to Israel!</p>
<p>Alignment happens before movement and we must settle deep within our hearts what we are going to align with before we act. The word align is a verb and is all about action, how we live our lives. It’s not just what we think but also what we actually do.</p>
<p>In Ezekiel there are beautiful verses about true alignment. Ezekiel uses an allegory of a wheel within a wheel to describe it.</p>
<p>“Wherever the Spirit went, the creatures went and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit or life of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up high beside them for the spirit or life of the living creature was in the wheels”</p>
<p>When properly aligned, the wheels moved when and where the spirit moved. Wheels are symbolic of vehicles. We are the vehicles of divine light which are to move in alignment with spirit. Light carries a high frequency of positive energy. If we are in proper alignment we will be in agreement with light, not dark, dense energy. Ask yourself, what am I in alignment with?</p>
<p>One of the places spirit will play its greatest role in the new cycle is in imparting to Visionaries new ways to co-create and re-build our world. Ways will be revealed for the energies of our heart, throat, and 3rd eye to unify. Many will find it much easier to speak their truth from spirit. Through the high energy of their words, a light language will be created as they communicate with others. Scripture describes it as the deep calling to deep.</p>
<p>Many will experience insightful visions, greater angelic encounters and dreams in 2012. Some will begin to see through the veil to those who have already passed on. It will become more and more normal and we shouldn’t be afraid to speak and share our experiences. When we do, it will normalize it for others.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago at our center I asked for those who had what we label today as “super-natural” experience to share them. It was amazing how many profound spiritual experiences people had which they had never shared before. It opened a doorway for others to expect these experiences too.</p>
<p>We are the Spirit of Life animating as flesh and blood on the earth plane today. We are infinite, eternal, spirit beings which contain divine power and Nothing is Impossible for us anymore! It never has been impossible except in our minds, but in 2012 we are awakening from the dream of limitation to the reality of our Infinite, Eternal connection to the invisible, limitless Source of ALL POWER!</p>
<p>2102 will be a great Year of Power! Power will be the word for 2012! Remember the word during the last presidential election in 2008 was “Change?”</p>
<p>This year it will be Power!</p>
<p>Expect to find in 2012:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Power of your voice!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Power of your Spirit!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Power of your actions!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Power of Alignment &amp; Agreement!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Power to experience the Miraculous!</p>
<p>We can keep talking about it or we can begin to Become It and Do It!</p>
<p>Which Spies of a new world will you choose to align with in 2012?</p>
<p>Sending Each Precious Visionary Illuminating Light, Power, and Radical Love!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012, the year ancient cultures have made predictions about for thousands of years.  Countless books have been written speculating the events to occur in 2012, you tube videos by the dozens are up, and even popular movies about 2012 have recently been produced.   What are we to believe and how are we to behave as we enter this critical time in the evolution of humanity?  In the midst of our changing world is there something we are here to do or are we in a stream of events which cannot be changed?</p>
<p>There is a beautiful Hopi saying which has never meant more than it does in this time:</p>
<h3>&#8220;We are the ones we have been waiting for.&#8221;</h3>
<p>It brings an enlightening message for us today.  While the earth seems to be going through one of the most intense cleansing processes ever experienced, something else is also happening beyond the surface. It is the awakening and empowering of thousands of Lightworkers all over our globe! These Lightworkers have incarnated at this critical moment with the power to transmute all human mis-creations which are in conflict with the purpose of our planet, Divine Love.</p>
<p>There is a Biblical scripture giving a powerful metaphor which can help us understand what’s happening on our planet today.  It says; you can’t put new wine into old wine skins less they becomes contaminated.  Does this scripture mean for our planet’s purpose of birthing a new humanity to fully manifest, we must continue to go through these cataclysmic events? Are these events the only way our beautiful earth can be cleaned?  Could it be these Lightworkers are the “Ones We Have Been Waiting For” to bring forth purging in a new way?  Is it possible you are one of these Lightworkers and have come to heal and cleanse our planet with the power of your light and love?</p>
<p>2011 was an intense year of changes for many of us personally and also our earth. It moved us further up the spirals of evolution into greater frequencies of God’s Divine, transfiguring love and light.  What’s happened is beyond anything man has ever experience before!</p>
<p>According to the Mayan Calendar our earth is now engulfed by all nine energetic levels of evolution at once.  These new energies are empowering mankind with greater and greater frequencies of light.  Why is this happening? It is happening to enable every particle of life on earth to withstand these higher frequencies of Divine love at atomic and cellular levels.  These higher frequencies are coming in to assist humanity and bring in more peaceful earthly experiences!  They are coming to empower us to “Be The Change” not to bring chaos into our lives!</p>
<p>Beyond a doubt, purging is necessary for the ascension process to fully take place.  It’s to prepare us at a cellular level for the influx of unprecedented light energy occurring at this moment.  Our purpose is to be the open door which transforming light can flow through.  The important question I ask is: does this purging on our earth have to happen through cataclysmic events or is there another way?</p>
<p>People everywhere are beginning to sense the magnitude of the Cosmic Moment!  There is a truth resonating and pulsating within the heart flame of people in every walk of life as they awaken.  They are beginning to see through new eyes and hear with new ears the voice of spirit within them.  The Clarion Call of the Universe for Unity, Oneness and Divine Love is going forth!</p>
<p>Mankind has been preparing for this moment for eons of time and you and I have come to fulfill our unique parts of the Divine plan in this critical age.  Right Now, our “I Am” presence is calling us to rise up and fulfill the highest form of Divine service ever asked of man!</p>
<p>Daily we are hearing about horrifying events taking place all over the earth.  I know of people who have charts tracking earthquakes around the world.  They are riddled with fear, buying guns, and storing huge amounts of food.   Some are moving to other states which they feel will be safer because of the dangerous events ahead.  They are reading and talking continually about the destruction and deaths getting ready to occur on our planet.</p>
<p>Is this what you believe?  Do you think the only way our planet can be cleansed and prepared for the Great Awakening is through destruction and death?  Are you able to open your mind’s eye enough to consider there could be another way?  Could these people be tuning into obsolete predictions?</p>
<p>Let’s go to the Bible again for some answers.  If we studied the Bible Code we’d find it contains many hidden predictions for horrifying events to occur in this time.  It also has encoded in its hidden messages many of the worlds’ past atrocities, wars, destinies of world leader, and other events which took place in the past. It has been proven to contain many accurate predictions.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with the Bible Code it is also known as the Torah Code. It has been described as a method by which specific letters from the ancient text could be selected to reveal an otherwise obscured message. This method has been studied for centuries and has opened a set of secret messages encoded within the text describing prophesies and other guidance regarding the future.</p>
<p>The messages within the Torah have become increasingly easier to decode since the computer has come on the scene.  As stated before, the Bible Code has predictions of cataclysmic events ahead for mankind.  But there is something even MORE profound and insightful the Bible Code discloses for those of us alive at this moment?</p>
<p>What is the hidden message which can change the course of world events and cleanse our world without these cataclysmic measures?  After the predictions of cataclysmic events which are possible on the earth the Bible Code gives an alternative message to mankind.  Here is the message:</p>
<h3>What Will You Do About It?</h3>
<p>It reveals the power and potential of a people to change the very course of events and shift our world from chaos into peace. It unveils the divine principle that light is infinitely more powerful than darkness or fear!  Science has found darkness cannot be measured because it is only the absence of light.</p>
<p>So here’s where you and I come in at a pivotal moment of evolution. Here’s the message to us today. Within every enlightened Being is the power to do something about our future!  One Lightworker focusing effectively on light can release enough positive energy to counteract literally hundreds of thousands of people who are focusing on fragmented, fear-based, hate-filled thoughts which manifest in our world.</p>
<p>Because of the thousands of Lightworkers rising up today those horrifying predictions are no longer relevant. The cataclysmic events many thought were needed to purge our earth do not have to happen!  Why? Because there is a great company of Lightworkers gathering all over the world at this moment. They understand they have the power to change things.  They are making conscious choices through their “I Am” presence to transmute the darkness by their light.</p>
<p>The Bible reveals the mind of man is hostile to the ways of God and can’t understand them. To the carnal mind these ways look like foolishness.</p>
<p>Lightworker all over the globe are hearing the Clarion Call to gather and use their light energies to transmute the mis-creations of man. It may look foolish to the natural mind as they proclaim from their “I Am” presence transformation, and focus their powerful light to awaken humanity and change events.  They are using powerful tools which produce miracles beyond comprehension to the natural mind.</p>
<p>Jesus revealed these tools by proclaiming he was the light of the world come to illuminate darkness. He also said we were to be lights on the earth. It has been scientifically proven when a sperm hits an egg within the womb there is a blast of light.  The Bible confers with  in the scripture in John which says:</p>
<p>“There is a light which lighteth every man which cometh into the world.” We are powerful light energy!</p>
<p>Jesus also demonstrated how to use the light when he defused the energy of a storm by his mere proclamation of peace from his “I Am” light presence.</p>
<p>We are here at this monumental moment as volunteers in the healing process unfolding on our earth.  It’s vital as Lightworkers to join together to transmute these negative predictions of destruction and death being voiced about by the media and internet!  They are tapping into the obsolete etheric records which no longer serve the highest good for our planet.</p>
<p>The underlying intent of these prediction is to keep humanity so paralyzed by fear they wouldn’t be able to assimilate and integrate our new planetary cause of divine reverence for life, oneness, and love.</p>
<p>The most important thing for those of us living on earth to know today is:  The cleansing process can be done with the powerful frequency of our light energy and the influx of divine love rather than destruction of the earth.  Herein is the call of divine service going out today!</p>
<p>We are here to create a new planetary cause – Divine Love!  It will gradually pierce into the core of every electron of precious life giving energy on earth.  Have you noticed it seems everything in conflict with divine love is being pushed to the surface at an accelerated pace?  The reason is so it can be healed and transmuted back into light.</p>
<p>Now radical, revolutionary overnight changes are more possible than ever before which can shift humanity into Divine love, oneness and transformation.  The Bible reveals it’s not only possible but a real tangible option. . . a quantum  moment of transfomation!</p>
<p>“Behold, I show you a mystery, We shall not all sleep (go through the shadow of death) but we shall all be changed (to be made different, transformed). In a moment, in the twinkling of any eye . . . For this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality.”</p>
<p>Miraculous, daily changes are happening in every man, woman and child on our planet. Our victory is assured as we focus on our personal and planetary transfiguration, re-birth and renewal. The influx of God’s divine love is happening!   Humanity’s brain centers are being activated to new frequencies of divine love.  Our “I Am’ presence is releasing new visions of possibilities. We’re seeing the Oneness of life, peace, abundance and freedom are attainable realities!</p>
<p>Our very DNA is being re-ordered and we’re realizing attainable new expressions of eternal youth, vibrant health, and infinite perfection.  All these things are causing a great stirring and change within us. . .</p>
<h3>And suddenly nothing will be the same!</h3>
<p>Now is the time for us to use our sacred gifts of transformation for the benefit of all life and our beloved planet.  We must each go within and kneel before the altar of divine love that’s blazing in our hearts.  We must listen to the still, small voice for our inner guidance and respond to the Clarion Call according to the directives of our “I Am” presence.</p>
<p>The key to the collective humanity awakening depends on the remembrance of the Oneness of all life! The Christ said&#8217; &#8220;That they may be make perfect in One.&#8221;  Our dedication and commitment is vital as Lightworkers to heal humanity’s illusion of separation from God.</p>
<p>The time has come for awakened Lightworkers to join hearts and minds as we co-create an expanding force field of Divine Light and Love so we can transmute negativity.  The reason for cataclysmic earth changes predicted in the past is no longer necessary because of the heart commitment of millions of Lightworkers all over the globe!  It has become apparent, we are indeed:</p>
<h3>The Ones We Have Been Waiting For!</h3>
<p>But the question remains for each of us. . .</p>
<h3>What Will You Do About It?</h3>
<p>Illuminating Love From My Heart to Yours,</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s Catch-Up</p>
<p>Can you believe 2010 is coming to a close? For me it has been a year of continual change. As creation speeds up I&#8217;ve found I must daily surrender the old in order to embrace new priorities in my life.  It seems the only way to remain centered in Presence is to stay in harmony with the ever increasing flow of creation.  I&#8217;m sure this year has been a unique time in your life too as the whole earth is experiencing radical shifts!</p>
<p>This year I dedicated myself to writing a book which has been growing within me and now birthing into manifestation.  It&#8217;s still not quite finished but I hope to complete it soon and  put it up on our new Web site as an eBook. The book will be called ONE DIVINE THREAD so look for it in 2011.</p>
<p>Thanks to those who have contacted me this year wondering why they have not received more articles. It was wonderful knowing you missed them and how they have impacted your life.  Now that I am finishing the book I will be writing more often in 2011!</p>
<p>There will also be a Forum on the new Website where you can share with our global community what&#8217;s on your heart.  It will enable spiritual seekers worldwide to have a more intimate connection and share knowledge.</p>
<p>Our new Website is going to be exciting and contains lots of tools for spiritual awakening and information to stretch your old paradigms.</p>
<p>Be sure and tell your friends to sign up for our ONLINE CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY so they can participate in our global network!</p>
<p>Journey in Love and Peace,</p>

<h2><span style="color: #b82286;">December 25  &#8211;  Birth of the SON or SUN?</span></h2>
<p>This month, as the year comes to a close and most are getting ready to celebrate December 25th as the birth of Jesus, it is important to reflect on the true meaning of this event.</p>
<p>There is no doubt it is a magical time of year and one which I cherish!  Discovering the truth has not taken away from its significance but enlarged it for me.  It has revealed a piece of the divine puzzle of life which needs to be understood. It also connects Christianity to a perennial story instead of a unique one time event.</p>
<p>It may surprise you to know December 25th was celebrated for thousands of years before it took on the significance as the birth date of Jesus. It didn&#8217;t become the accepted  date for Christmas until the middle of the fourth century and was chosen by the Catholic Church. Church Fathers even at that time, argued it was not the true birthday of Jesus and suggested many other dates were more accurate.  Why then was this date chosen to celebrate the birth of Christ?</p>
<p>The true reason is profound and goes back to time immemorial!  December 25 contains great symbolic and esoteric meaning. It points to the potential of the force know as the &#8220;Christ&#8221; which lives within all mankind! It is this potential which contains the perfect Divine reflection of the Infinite, the higher self, the Divine son born from supernatural Source which desires manifestation.</p>
<p>The initiates of the ancient Mysteries believed, &#8220;As above so below.&#8221; They knew what was happening in the physical  was a shadow of greater things happening in the spiritual realm.   This is the reason they worshiped the Sun-god who was symbolically reborn ever year on December 25 and brought with him earthly light. They understood the physical principle it embodied contained a deep esoteric message.</p>
<p>On December 24 at midnight the Sun which had been declining for six months, suddenly was reborn. This happened at the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. For three days and nights the Sun seemed to be &#8220;dead or in the tomb&#8221; and on the early morning of the 25th it was reborn and began its ascent again. The days then became longer and the light increased. December 25th became the end of the solstice and the birthday of the Sun to the ancient people.</p>
<p>This rebirth took place through a virgin because the reincarnating sun rose above the eastern horizon and proceeded through the constellation Virgo know as the virgin.</p>
<p>The ancient initiates also understood it symbolically portrayed the process from the natural to the divine spiritual human. Symbolizing the death of the lower self and  rebirth of the divine self.</p>
<p>The early Roman church knew the origin of celebrating December 25 was the winter Solstice and worship of the Sun.  They also knew it was celebrated by what they labeled  &#8220;pagan religions.&#8221; It coincided with the Roman festival of Brumalia which celebrated the birth of the god-man Bacchus. It was also the nativity of the Persian-Roman god-man Mithra meaning &#8220;Invincible Sun,&#8221; Dionysus of Greece, Osiris and Horus of Egypt, and many others.</p>
<p>A cover-up of the ancient origin of December 25th was instituted by the church.  They put the birth of Jesus on this date and made efforts to sever all ties to its original meaning.  This was done so they could control the belief system of their followers.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the date of December 25 is esoterically appropriate as it associates great world Masters with the rebirth of the Sun symbolic of the spiritual self!  The cycles the Sun goes through relates to man&#8217;s descent into matter and the beginning of the long evolutionary journey back into the light of divine consciousness.</p>
<p>There are many other beautiful allegory in the Christmas story which parallels the ancient stories of other god-men. One striking similarity is the star in the east which guided the wise men to the birthplace of  Jesus and also to other god-men. The star is symbolic of the light within our heaven which leads us to the indwelling Christ and expansion of our consciousness. It is the light which allows us to recognize the Christ within ourselves. Once we have this divine encounter just a the Magi, we can never go back the way we came!</p>
<p>December 25th is about the birth of God in the soil of the human soul.  It contains the  Universal symbol of the birth of a Savior in almost every culture, religion and tradition.  What does this reveal to us today?  All ancient cultures knew man was a spiritual Being experiencing a human adventure. They understood mankind is walking the path of constant birth, death, and re-birth individually and collectively.  Death being symbolic of &#8220;dying&#8221; to the old state of being and re-birth into higher states. This is important to know if our heart is moving towards evolution and personal transformation.</p>
<p>When we understand the Christmas story veils a primal allegory revealed by the cycles of the Sun, we see it is our story too! John the Baptist arrives saying &#8220;he must decrease that the Christ increase.&#8221;  Verses saying John was born six months before Jesus places his birth at the summer solstice. At the summer solstice the Sun is at its highest point and from there begins to decrease towards the winter solstice where it goes through death and rebirth.  It opens the principle of our lower self (the physical sun) decreasing and dying so our higher self (the inner sun or light) can be re-born!</p>
<p>The Christmas story is full of esoteric symbols for us today. No room in the &#8220;Inn&#8221; is symbolic of our intellect.  The Christ child cannot be born in the intellect of the mind, but must be born in the manger of the heart.  Herod represents our ego which contains habitual thoughts trying to control expanded consciousness. Herod&#8217;s demand to slay all the children born at the time of Jesus&#8217; birth represents our ego feeling threatened by new spiritual influences and trying to kill them.</p>
<p>Shepherds are symbolic of the humble thought process in the &#8220;field of our mind&#8221; which though in darkness, watches over the flock of inner feelings with loving care. Angels are messengers from Divine Source which come as inspiration and guidance in our lives.  They bring us messages of &#8220;Good Tidings of Great Joy, Oneness and the potential of Peace on Earth with harmony and love between all mankind!&#8221;</p>
<p>Mary is symbolic that only pure virginal consciousness is able to birth the Christ. Ego must bow by saying, &#8220;Be it unto me according to the inner word of divine source.&#8221; The Divine child is then born in the manger of our heart, surrounded by our lower animalistic nature.</p>
<p>The Magi&#8217;s three gifts represents what is needed for purification of the vehicles of our personal consciousness.  Myrrh is for physical, frankincense for emotional, and gold the mental.  No wonder we have such feelings of love and brotherhood during the Christmas season!</p>
<p>By studying the past we find Christmas joy and celebrations go back to the dawn of human consciousness. The winter solstice has probably been celebrated for over 8,000 years.  It is the primal story of all mankind!  It reveals within each of us is a spark of Divine Light called, &#8220;Great, Son of the Highest.&#8221;  This light shall grow until it  reign over our lower nature forever and of its Kingdom there shall be no end!</p>
<p>Why, because it is timeless, birth-less and deathless! The physical Sun every year goes though the entire Cosmic Drama of the Christ/Son revealing its potential within every human being. It is always pointing us to the process which is taking us from the natural human to the Divine Spiritual human!</p>
<p>This season is full of magic if you approach it with child-like awe.  If you are able to view through the pure, innocent single eye of light, you too can see beyond the physical into the invisible realm of your infinite potential as a Divine Being!</p>
<p>May you celebrate this season which connects all mankind, all spiritual tradition, and all ages with an open heart.  May the physical Sun bring the realization there has been only One Divine Light lightening the way for every man which has come into the world!</p>
<p>HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS</p>
<p>AND A BLESSED 2011!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Within the heart of each human being lie the questions of the ages. Who am I? What is life all about?</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/lotus_medium.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-342" title="lotus_medium" src="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/lotus_medium.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>Every ancient culture has asked these questions and used numerous practices to gain experiential answers. One of these practices has been meditation. Meditation means many different things to varied cultures.</p>
<p>Only a few years ago our English dictionaries defined it; &#8220;to think, to ponder, to reflect on or muse over.&#8221; Today with a revived interest comes new understanding about mediation. You will find it defined as &#8220;a specific way of thinking that leads to mental, emotion, and physical balance.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guy_meditating.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-279" title="guy_meditating" src="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guy_meditating.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="144" /></a><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Meditation is an ancient method leading to a direct realization of whom we are and why we are here.</span></em></p>
<p>Jesus plainly said the Kingdom is within and that we must seek this inner realm first in our lives! Kingdom in Aramaic is malkuta, a feminine-gender noun and a more correct translation would be queendom. Beyond gender the word’s root (MLK) point to a fully formed extension of power which is a centralized and a determined dwelling within man. It is the place of radical change and empowerment which can only come from the inside out. Scripture reveals <em>&#8220;Ye are the temple of the living God,&#8221;</em> again pointing, we are the sacred site of Spirit.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>In the Bible it says &#8220;Hear this, O people, who have eyes, but do not see, who have ears, but do not hear&#8221; revealing there is a realm beyond the physical we perceive as reality. </em></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/silhouetteWB.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-282" title="silhouetteWB" src="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/silhouetteWB.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="138" /></a>Until we fully awaken we must live in the limitation of the physical concepts of reality and in turn they become our experience. Through meditation we are able to shake off the dust of delusion and see infinite reality through unity with the Divine mind within us. It enables us to move from analytical thinking to an intuitive perception of the truth. It expands the consciousness to merge with our higher self. As the lower self recedes we come in contact with Divine reality and our thoughts align with Sacred Unity. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways we have been taught.</p>
<p><span style="color: #f4340a;"><em>&#8220;Be still and know I am God.&#8221;</em><span style="color: #ff6600;"> </span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;">The ancients of almost all <a href="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bfly_yellow1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-347" title="bfly_yellow" src="http://www.nbocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bfly_yellow1.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="157" /></a>Eastern cultures knew and practiced this principle through meditation.</span> We forget Jesus was very familiar with this because he was from the East. Until the recent leap in consciousness it has been lost in the Western modes of religion. The stillness or inner silence is the empty space within which houses Divinity. It is the place of pure peace, joy, creativity, and love. It is impossible to articulate this inner silence for words are inadequate to describe it. It can<br />
only be experienced  as it is beyond the process of our thinking.</p>
<p><span id="more-273"></span>In this inner space we will find our home, who we are and our reason for incarnating. It is here we experience the peace beyond understanding Jesus promised. In meditation every cell in our body can be brought to a state of profound stillness because scientifically the metabolism slows down along with the mind. It is a place of bliss and clarity where we catch a glimpse of our true self and discover we are the silent awareness and observer behind all thoughts of the mind. We realize we have incarnated to grow into full awareness of our true nature of love, peace, creativity, and oneness which can only be found in the inner stillness.</p>
<p>In our hectic world today we no longer really think for our self. We are inundated with negativity and fearful voices on every side. Most times we look to our physical nature for relief when true peace can only be found in the inner nature. We search for the answers of life in the outer world when all answers are within just waiting to be discovered. It is only in this space we will find truth and infinite reality. Meditation is a process of entering our Most Holy Place where there is no outer work but only Divine presence. No longer do we struggle with issues of outer conduct because we become aware right actions appear from inner perspective. Love, joy, and compassion gradually become the foundation of all we do. Our lives begin to harmonize with the will of the Divine.</p>
<p>Daily meditation enables us to experience more of our inner nature and our desires gradually attune with what is unfolding within us. Life takes on new meaning and we know without a doubt our purpose by Divine design is to manifest truth in every aspect of our life.</p>
<p>Scripture tells us we are to bring every thought captive to the mind of Christ. What a beautiful description of meditation. Through meditation we capture the thoughts and brings them into subjection to the Divine mind within. The thoughts no longer control but begin to enter a rest as our higher Divine self takes over. Our mind is a thought generating machine and meditation is a practice which can quiet those thoughts so we can enter the silent place of the Divine Source.</p>
<p>Jesus Christ taught meditation which can be seen by an understanding of the Aramaic words in Matthew 6. He told us when we pray (align our mind with God) enter into our closet (an inner space of supply) and shut the door. The word &#8220;door&#8221; in Aramaic has the same root as the word &#8220;opening&#8221; so it means (an opening between various &#8220;worlds&#8221; of one’s existence.) Here it implies to shut the &#8220;door&#8221; on the outer physical realm so we can be &#8220;opened&#8221; to the inner spiritual authority. Then pray to thy &#8220;Father&#8221; (Father/Mother who births Unity, Parent of the universe, the One from whom breath enters being in all radiant forms) which is in secret (referring to inner sight in Aramaic) and we will be rewarded &#8220;openly&#8221; (revealed by being manifested in form). It is in this inner place we open ourselves to the divine. We close the door on our awareness of the public person we think ourselves to be and align with the parent of creation, with our inner sense, the outer sense turned within. Here we open ourselves for the flow of the sacred to move through us. Then the breathing life of all reveals itself in the way we live our life.</p>
<p>With all that said an old profound Chinese proverb comes to mind…Talk is cheap, show me! This may be right where you are as you read about meditation. The fact is only your own personal experience can bring you into the space we have talked about. Only you can determine if meditation is all I have found it to be. So now I will give you some of the methods I have used to enter deep meditation.</p>
<p>Meditation is a process which brings the mind to rest. Our minds are like thought machines which process all day and most of the night. Endless thoughts flood and flow through our minds at a constant rapid rate. We are not the mind but the awareness which experiences these thoughts. Meditation is the process of bringing the mind into a rest so we can experience the awareness minus the persistent chatter of the mind. This incessant chatter has been labeled the monkey mind because it swings from one thought to another constantly.</p>
<p>Meditation also is a practice which creates a condition where the mind is producing fewer and fewer thoughts until there are no thoughts but only an inner silence. There are many ways people have found to enter this silence. I will discuss a few and you may choose the one which resonates with you.</p>
<p>One way is by using a mantra. A mantra is a few words used for the sound or vibration they create. It is not for the meaning or significance but the power of the sound. It is a very simple key used to quiet the mind. Let’s choose &#8220;I Am&#8221; as our mantra for this example. First we must find a quiet and comfortable place to sit; close our eyes take a few deep breaths and relax. Turn off the phones so we won’t be listening for them. As we sit quietly notice how the stream of thoughts go through our mind. Just notice them. Let them go by without judgment and relax. After a few minutes in this relaxed state begin to introduce the mantra, I AM.</p>
<p>Do not say the mantra out loud but repeat it inside the mind deliberately. If we find other thoughts begin to take over just gently go back to the mantra, I AM. No matter how many times this happens just continually go back to I AM, not judging nor condemning our self. The mind is a thought machines don’t forget and must be trained to enter a rest. Don’t struggle to get the thoughts out, just keep returning to the mantra and at some point you will notice a change in your inner experience. The mantra may become blurry or barely recognizable. We are riding the mantra inward to deeper levels of the inner silence of our mind. This cannot be forced to happen. It will happen automatically as our system goes through cycles stimulated by meditation.</p>
<p>I stated by meditating 10 minutes at a time. I now meditate 20 minutes in the morning and have begun an evening meditation. I have read it is best to meditate twice per day, morning and evening before meals. You will find what works for you as there is no fast and set rules. The most important principle is to not stress about meditation. The whole point is to enter a space of peace!</p>
<p>Another method which I use and find works well is to follow the breath. I breathe deeply in and out putting my attention on my breathing. As thoughts come I gently observe them drift by and return my attention back to my breathing. As the breath begins to consume my attention it becomes more and more shallow and quiet until I find my self in an empty space of bliss and oneness. This did not happen for me right away but has taken a process of months, so take heart. The best indication of progress in meditation is how we feel afterward. Does it bring a feeling of relaxation and inner calm as we go about our daily activities? Even if we feel meditation was uneventful we may find a new inner sense of peace emerging in our lives in subtle ways.</p>
<p>Think of the sun and how on a sunny day the clouds can obstruct our view because they hid the sun. At times we may get a glimpse of the sun shinning brightly through the clouds. The sun is always there but our vision becomes obscured. This is an example of meditation and how it helps clear our inner clouds by dissolving them so we can be immersed in our inner light.</p>
<p>Meditation is a journey home where we experience our true self. Our Holistic breath or mantras are tools which can help on our journey. The key is daily practice over time and it’s not only for the experience within meditation itself but the permanent positive changes in the quality of our life. The results of entering our inner silence are we become less anxious, stressed, and angry. It enables us to be more centered and begin to see the world from a deeper perspective within ourselves. The stress and problems of life lose their grip and our mental and physical health profits also. It also increases creativity. Many well know geniuses in history have received their inspiration when in states of mental relaxation. Their revelations have seemed to come from &#8220;no where&#8221; but in truth have come simply by opening the latent genius which lies within us all!</p>
<p>This is just a brief description of meditation and its benefits. &#8220;Be still and know I am God&#8221; has been the path to enlightenment for centuries. In the Western world we are just beginning to see the immense benefits of abiding in inner silence. In the inner silence we experience who we are in every moment and awaken to the infinite light. With this inner awakening we are able to bring transformation into the world by living our life in a state of deeper perception of eternal reality!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the surface of the world right now there is<br />
war and violence and things seem dark.<br />
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,<br />
something else is happening underground<br />
An inner revolution is taking place<br />
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.<br />
It is a silent revolution.<br />
From the inside out. From the ground up.<br />
This is a Global operation.<br />
A Spiritual Conspiracy.<br />
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.<br />
You wont see us on the T.V.<br />
You wont read about us in the newspaper<br />
You wont hear about us on the radio<br />
We dont seek any glory<br />
We dont wear any uniform<br />
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles<br />
Most of us work anonymously<br />
We are quietly working behind the scenes<br />
in every country and culture of the world<br />
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,<br />
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands<br />
You could pass by one of us on the street<br />
and not even notice<br />
We go undercover<br />
We remain behind the scenes<br />
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit<br />
But simply that the work gets done<br />
Occasionally we spot each other in the street<br />
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way<br />
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs<br />
But behind the false storefront at night<br />
is where the real work takes a place<br />
Some call us the Conscious Army<br />
We are slowly creating a new world<br />
with the power of our minds and hearts<br />
We follow, with passion and joy<br />
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence<br />
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking</p>
<p>Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies<br />
Kind words ~ Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer<br />
Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites<br />
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…</p>
<p>We each express ourselves in our own unique ways<br />
with our own unique gifts and talents<br />
Be the change you want to see in the world<br />
That is the motto that fills our hearts<br />
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place<br />
We know that quietly and humbly we have the<br />
power of all the oceans combined<br />
Our work is slow and meticulous<br />
Like the formation of mountains<br />
It is not even visible at first glance<br />
And yet with it entire tectonic plates<br />
shall be moved in the centuries to come<br />
Love is the new religion of the 21st century<br />
You dont have to be a highly educated person<br />
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it<br />
It comes from the intelligence of the heart<br />
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings<br />
Be the change you want to see in the world<br />
Nobody else can do it for you<br />
We are now recruiting<br />
Perhaps you will join us<br />
Or already have.<br />
All are welcome<br />
The door is open</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just as spring brings the promise of resurrected life in nature, we are entering the springtime of humanity and with it, the resurrection and remembrance of our Divinity.  New life is on the horizon and we can feel it within the depth of our Being.  The old cycles are dying off to make room for the flowering of humanity into its Divine purpose.</p>
<p>The story unveiling before us today is the reason for the birth of humanity into the world. Humankind was born into the universe and is now becoming a conscious participant in its own birth from an ego-centered consciousness to oneness-centered universal consciousness.  The story of this evolution was walked out in the birth, teachings, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Jesus Christ came to demonstrate the fully ascended potential of mankind.   He came to illustrate the power of man operating fully awakened and evolved.  He showed us a body able to transcend the Law of Thermodynamics by not decaying, a body which could ascend beyond the laws of a material realm and shine forth with the radiance of total love for all.</p>
<p>In the book of Revelation we find that John had a glimpse of man’s destiny through the ascended Christ.  He saw the potential of man to rise out of two thousand years of winter and enter the spring of humanity.  Out of the seed Jesus Christ planted would spring up the new creation man. Christ-like Beings, Sons and Daughters of God with powers to do as Christ did and even greater.   Mankind would have the capacity to shed its animal nature and grow up into the fullness of its Christed life. We have seen through a glass dimly but now we have entered the time of seeing face to face!</p>
<p>&#8220;After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in Heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, &#8220;Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.&#8221;  Rev. 4:1</p>
<p>If we’re willing to come up hither by releasing old limiting belief, we’ll be able to see dynamic truth we have never seen before!  We’ll realize the Book of Revelation is ourselves revealed!  The blessing of reading Revelation is that it gives a vision of mankind so beautiful and powerful it can shift our consciousness from fear of the future to expectation for the glory which is to be revealed through us.  It reiterates the promise that man was created to grow up into a perfect man, into the stature of the fullness of Christ!</p>
<p>How can we know our future? This is what the pattern Son came to reveal, first to John and then to all mankind.  Just as a child becomes aware it has the capacity to transcend the limitations of childhood by seeing its parents, we too see our spiritual potential through Jesus Christ. John could see the future of mankind because he had the advantage of seeing a vision of the fully realized Christ.  We too can know the future as our heaven is opened and we ascend limited, finite images of man and see man’s potential as the spiritually mature Christ:  As light Beings composed of all the colors of the rainbow vibrating at a frequency so high that time, space, matter or death any can no longer hold them.</p>
<p>In the last two thousand years man has evolved through the infancy and adolescent stages of humanity.  It is now time for man’s maturity and awakening to his full potential just as Christ our elder brother did!</p>
<p>In Revelation 1: 14-18 we glimpse a picture of the Christ in his ascended state and through this we are able to see our future:</p>
<p>&#8220;His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were as flames of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as though they burned in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many water.  And He had in His right hand seven stars and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance shone as the sun shineth in his strength.  And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.  And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me.  &#8220;Fear not; I am the First and the Last.  I am He that liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore.  Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.&#8221;</p>
<p>What a description of the potential of man’s transformation John gave us in this verse!  In our transformed state our capacities will be functioning in total harmony with the glory of Divine nature.  Our mind will be in tune with a spiritual consciousness of purity and eyes of Divine fire which see only from the vantage point of God; love, joy, harmony, and peace.   In transformation we will walk with a glow of a bio-magnetic field which will enable us to materialize and dematerialize, ascend and descend, from one vibratory plane to another. Our words will flow from transparency like pure water and perfect truth because they are in unity with the mind of God.  Just as the Sacred Breath in the beginning, they will have the power of a two-edged sword to cut away anything which does not proceed directly from the mark of the perfection of Godly nature.   In our hand will be complete power of Divine character and out of our mouth will flow the authority to divide between soul and spirit, bone and marrow (the physical and spiritual realms.)  We will be transformed into light beings and our physical bodies will fall into total subjection to the perfection of our Divinity.   We will awaken to our eternal Being-ness and our infinite spiritual life.  Perfect love will be our nature and fear will no longer have power.  Our understanding of the first and the last as our completeness will be unveiled.  The concepts of Life and death will be swallowed up into eternity by the keys which have always been within us!  Then our countenance will shine as the sun just as Jesus demonstrated on the mount of transfiguration.  As Jesus was transfigured, so shall we be as we recognize our total oneness with God!</p>
<p>Through our awakening we will realize we can travel by image with the speed of light, we can heal, we are able to leave the earth and return, we can produce food out of the invisible realm, take on a body as we desire and materialize or become invisible at will.  We realize we have the power of co-creators.</p>
<p>Jesus Christ came to demonstrate our full potential.  He took on a mortal body like ours to show us our ability to build a new body. Scripture tells us, &#8220;His visage was so marred no man knew Him&#8221; Jesus’ body was so disfigured by beating and crucifixion that his body was unrecognizable. While in the tomb he created a new body.  After his resurrection they never knew him by appearance.  Even those who had walked and lived with him for three and a half years could not recognize him.   I believe Jesus showed us he had the power to create and take on a body at will.</p>
<p>He went through death and was resurrected on the third day not just to show us what he could do but to show us what we can do!  It was his message to us who would enter this third day of man’s history.  He was saying to us; I came to help you receive your full potential, your inheritance as Divine Beings.  I came as your elder brother who is saying &#8220;Follow me.  What I did you can do and even greater. Don’t be afraid, I came to Earth to show you your full possibility.  I incarnated to demonstrate your capability.   My life, teaching, death, resurrection, and ascension were my message to you!  I showed you that death can be overcome. I demonstrated how to ascend the physical realm which is always changing and anchor into the unchangeable invisible realm of God.    I am the first and the last because I Am eternal and completely God!  I had no beginning or end and neither do you!  You are eternal, beyond time, space and matter.  Just as I did before you, you made the decision to incarnate in this material body and come to fulfill your purpose here. When you lowered to this state you forgot from whence you came.  But your Spirit never forgot and has always had an eternal connection to Godliness.</p>
<p>Revelation is indeed a book which reveals the transformation of man into Christed beings.  It unfolds the mystery of humanity, the miracle of spiritual birth, and the ascension of human consciousness.  Just as spring gives the promise of new life, Revelation promises the springtime of mankind will bring forth Divine life!</p>
<p>&#8220;Out of the throne proceed lightning and thundering and voices.&#8221;</p>
<p>Light energy and sound is the essence of communication and if we are attuned to the Divine voice within we are hearing the message of spring.  The voice is illuminating the meaning of spring as the budding of humanity into resurrection life!</p>
<p>&#8220;Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal.  And in the midst of the throne and around about the throne, were four living beings full of eyes in front and behind.&#8221;  Rev. 4:6</p>
<p>The sea of glass is a unified field of those hearing the same voice.  Crystal represents mankind in perfect coherence.  The molecules in a crystal are aligned in a repeating pattern which makes its shape symmetrical. This unveils a time when people from all nations will be gathered together in perfect alignment and will create a magnetic field in attunement with the will of God coming from the throne within each of them.  The throne, seat of God’s power, or the Kingdom of God, is the very core of all beings.  Unity is the key to transformation.  Realizing and honoring the Oneness of all humanity, realization that all were created in the image of God is what will usher in a Quantum Leap in the consciousness of mankind.</p>
<p>As spring comes into full bloom, be aware brings into view a picture of the invisible realm of the Kingdom of God being birthed from within mankind.   Within every person which draws breath is a Divine core, a throne, a light which is being turned up as each of us awakens to the Oneness of purpose for all humanity. Revelation is not a book only for &#8220;Christians&#8221; but an evolutionary map for all humanity.  It reveals the great plan . . . the blueprint for all mankind which was walked out by Jesus Christ and is now being prepared to be to be acted out once again by all humanity!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many years I had no illumination. I was sealed in a tomb of darkness. The tomb was my mind. One day the stone was rolled away and Christ arose and came out into the light. Until that moment I didn&#8217;t know I had been asleep. The sleep was so deep and profound I was actually dead! We are not in a tomb unless we are dead. The wonder of the tomb was, even then I was one with Christ! Together we were sealed in the tomb just waiting for resurrection!</p>
<p>Even though I didn&#8217;t know I was in a tomb, it reeally didn&#8217;t matter. Christ was there, too and when I awoke He arose! We must look at others in this way. They are in a tomb consciousness but they are sealed in with Christ! When they awake, the only thing which can arise is the Christ! He is the way, and the way is within every man. The way leads us to the Father within ourselves. The only way to find the Father within is to bring forth His son!</p>
<p>It is time for the Messiah buried within us before the foundation of the world, to awaken and arise. When we begin to see the Bible as our story , we are able to walk through every scripture as the Christ. It is the story of consciousness awakening to the truth of its being. Everything said of Jesus will be revealed in each of us.</p>
<p>In John 14 there is a beautiful allegory revealing the many mansions of consciousness. It begins,&#8221; Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father&#8217;s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive myself; (you unto, &#8211; is not in original) that where I am you may be also.&#8221;</p>
<p>The next verse is very revealing. &#8220;And where I go you know, and the way you know.&#8221; Jesus is saying we have always know the way. We were one with the way before the foundation of the world. The way is within each us. We have just fallen asleep and must be awakened to truth!</p>
<p>Thomas right away says, &#8220;Lord we know not where you go, and how can we know the way?&#8221; Jesus answers him, &#8220;I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me. If you had know me, you should have know the Father also; and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.&#8221; Philip pops us and says, &#8220;Lord show us the Father.&#8221;</p>
<p>These mansions seem to have a part in our ability to see the Father. These verses say when we truly know Jesus Christ we know the Father.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at these verses and see a higher level of understanding than we may have had in the past. Mansions in the original Greek means; &#8220;a staying, to stay in a certain place, state, relation, or expectancy.&#8221; This shows there are many states you can view reality through. You can make one state of consciousness your home, or just pass through for a short time. Your spiritual vision is a state or place of consciousness. It is one of your Father&#8217;s mansions within His abode. Each of us chooses the mansion we want to enter. A state or place of consciousness we make our home. I was in one mansion for many years. I could only see truth from that state. Then I left that mansion for another and then another until I entered the palce prepared for me.</p>
<p>It say in my Father&#8217;s house &#8230; know you not that you are the temple (abiding place) of God. So this is what is taking place within you! Within you are many mansions or states of consciousness. Christ goes to prepare a place for you so his consciousness can come again within you. Then he can receive you as himself. Then his state of consciousness will also be yours! You will be one with his mind!</p>
<p>Our part is to believe we have already arrived, we are one with the consciousness of Christ. We are home in the heavenlies. Home is the state where your thoughts constantly return. You will know which mansion you have entered by watching your thoughts. Where your thoughts keep returning is your dwelling place or state. Within you are many dwelling places. We must keep moving until we arrive at the place Christ prepared for us! The place prepared is abiding with the Father. One with the mind of God.</p>
<p>Verse One says, &#8220;Let not your heart be troubled &#8230;&#8221; Have you heard this comforting voice within yourself? It is the voice of the Christ pulling your attention back to a belief in Him. The Christ within. He is telling you He know the tribulations living in this world will brings. He knows you have responsibilities, financial obligations, pressures at you job, but don&#8217;t be afraid because; &#8220;I go to prepare a place for you.&#8221; A place of consciousness high above the things of this world. When you arrive at this state you are able to close your eyes on the world around you. You know where the Christ is, you are also! In a higher consciousness of infinite possibility. You beleive for the God within you, all things are possible!</p>
<p>Rest in the truth, He has prepared a state for you. He is the way to fulfillment. Close your eyes to the facts of life. Dare to believe and see from the end result of your desires. You do not have to stay in the mansion you are in at this moment. You are able to move on to that place of fulfillment and joy unspeakable.</p>
<p>Listen to this reassuring statement Jesus made after Philip asked Him to show them the Father. I will paraphrase His answer. &#8220;Jesus said, Have I been with you so long and you still don&#8217;t know who I am. If you had really seen Me and know Me, you would have also seen and known the Father. You really have never seen Me because you are still asking to see the Father? Can&#8217;t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words I am speaking are not my own, they are the Father&#8217;s that dwells IN ME! He is the one doing this work!&#8221;</p>
<p>Are you able to see the Father within yourself. If not, you have really never know the Christ within. Christ came to show us the Father. He came to awaken the reality of our oneness with God.</p>
<p>The greater works come out of this revelation. The greater works are living from a consciousness which is not attached to this world. A consciousness which see from limitless possibility and infinite potential.</p>
<p>In my Father&#8217;s house are many states of consciousness, but I go to prepare a state for you. A place where we are one. A place where you have intimate knowledge of the Father. A place where your mind will no longer be troubled. A state of consciousness where you believe when you have seen the Christ within, you have also seen the Father! You will know we are one!</p>
<p>Which mansion are you dwelling in? Are you willing to move out of the mansions and into the place prepared for you?</p>
<p>With Love and Gratitude.</p>
