Also, I found this personal Declaration of Independence at a blog I started following recently. Joy Mazzola writes beautifully, and it could well be my own Declaration.

So here we go. It’s a kind of meme, and you are free to join. It doesn’t matter if you are American or not. (I’m not. I’m a “resident alien” — this is the legal term for those immigrants with greencards. If we define America as the country of immigrants, however, I represent the true American spirit.) Even if you are British, consider this as a day to reclaim your Power. It’s a day of self-awareness. ^_^

My personal Declaration of Independence

I declare my independence from all teachers as I realize the highest authority within myself. I still respect all the teachers I have learned from, and as an avid learner, I will keep learning from various teachers, but I understand I am my own best teacher and pioneer researcher.

I fully understand the responsibility that comes with this declaration. All my life, I have tried to be the best student. Now I see my effort is misdirected. I am on my own path to find my horizon. My Ascension. And the divinity is within me.

I declare my liberation on all physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Physically, I will keep my body free from various toxins in foods, cosmetics, and so on to the best I can. I’ve already quit drinking coffee — the caffein withdrawal symptoms were horrible, which made me worry how much it may have affected my body. I will keep this journey of freeing myself from toxins, and with my spiritual self-authenticity, I expect freedom on the emotional and mental levels as well.

I joyfully accept my part in creating the New World based on Love, Light, Truth, Abundance and Power. I am just one person (a petite one, for that) but I know me doing my part in my personal and professional life (the two are merged and integrated within me) connects me to other lightworkers, and together we will manifest the wonderful New World. Independence is not about isolation.

I fully embrace my creative power. I will not shy away from attention, fame, monetary gains just because they are associated with greed. I trust that what comes my way has a meaning whether I immediately understand it or not.

On this beautiful summer morning, I declare my true Independence. With gratitude to the Light Source (or God), my angels and spirt guides, my incarnated friends both online and local, to my heritage, my future self. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Photo Credit)

Hadar, the utopia of love

Hadar (also called Beta Centauri) was once the utopia of unconditional love, where everyone gave love freely without any expectation of payoff. It worked because everyone was doing so. Love was as natural part of Hadarian life as saying hello or breathing air is for us.

What I heard is that Hadarians wanted Earth to grow more in this wonderful energy of love. As I wrote in the article about Alpha Centauri, the Earth experiment hasn’t been working as it was expected, and Hadarians wanted to help in their own way. They started to shine the beacon of love to Earth.

By doing so, however, Hadar received unwanted attention from the negative soul group, which eventually invaded Hadar. Many Hadarians came to Earth captivated by the negative soul group. I say “many” because there seem to be some Hadarians who escaped this tragedy and came to Earth on their own, often via Alpha Centauri.

Unlike Alpha Centaurians, Hadarians don’t seem to remember the star travel, perhaps due to the passive and traumatic nature of the travel. Yet, the story of invasion and enslavement seem to sound oddly familiar to them. Many Hadarians replay the scenario in their personal lives by getting into abusive relationships. And this world on Earth feels so savage to Hadarians.

Hadarians’ ideal

Love, of course. I think Hadarians dream of the second utopia of love on this Earth. And although the development of such utopia may not be straightforward, I like the idea — we are creating the New World and love is the basic principle.

During the phone session of my Akashic Record Reading, Hadarians seldom talk about their work. Achieving success as an individual is probably not a significant part of Hadarian life. What Hadarians want is to have loving connections. Because we spend so much time at work, if they can do this through work, that will be great. If not, they seek the loving connections elsewhere, through community service, hobbies, and friends and family.

Hadarians’ gifts

Again, the biggest gift Hadarians bring to this world is the energy of love. Can’t have too much love, right? Love connects us beyond the illusion of separation. Love is creative energy.

Now some of you may think love is simple and, if that is the main gift Hadarians bring, Hadarians are not much to talk about. Hadarians’ uncalculating, warm disposition may even promote such low esteem. But don’t underestimate the potential of Hadarians.

Hadarians are intelligent in their own way. They are often empaths to the psychic level — they can sense the energy of people, things, and places very well.

Hadarians can even bend time to their advantage. When a Hadarian really needs to get things done in tight timeframe, they will — because they can stretch time. It’s not something they do intellectually — they just do it. I heard this is something we all can do, or learn to do, but Hadarians are natural experts.

Hadarians’ challenges in loving relationships

Hadarians don’t get into relationship problems. Hadarians get into problematic relationships.

When someone doesn’t love back, most people step back and leave. Not so with Hadarians. Hadarians seem to think, “Oh, look, he / she must be the very person who needs MORE love!” And they stay in unfulfilling relationships for a long time. They may even put up with abuse. It takes a long time for many Hadarians to finally figure out that they need to love themselves first.

But, wait, even with positive souls, Hadarians may have unique issues in their social life. First, Hadarians are a bit shy or even aloof when it comes to making new friends. Again, this world is savage for Hadarians, the soul level memory of being taken advantage of is so painful, that Hadarians find it hard to simply open up. It is the contradiction the loving Hadarians carry.

Then, once Hadarians open up, they do. Friends probably feel like extended family for Hadarians. In other words, personal boundary must be a foreign idea for Hadarians.

I once received a phone call at 6 am from a client who is Hadarian. It wasn’t anything urgent — she just wanted to share something that came to her after reading my report. Aaaaaagh! I care deeply for my clients, but at 6 am, I’m in my own dream land. . .

Hadarians’ challenges in career and finance

I guess it is about finding the work that appeals to them — that is, the work that put them in loving relationship with others. Hadarians are not necessarily big on entrepreneurship. However, because most corporate environments are becoming increasingly dry and inhuman, many Hadarians are frustrated and looking for alternative ways to make their living.

I don’t have much to say about Hadarians’ finance. Not that Hadarians are no good at making money — the Law of Attraction works on the energy of feelings and imaginations, and Hadarians are excellent at these. The thing is Hadarians don’t seem to aspire to make much money . . .

Hadarians’ role on Earth

And that leads to Hadarians true challenge: to get comfortable using their power. At this time, many Hadarians are disempowered. The victim mentality and slave mentality I wrote in the article about Power apply to many of them.

To create the New World, however, we need to get up and use power, not just embracing one another with love. Of course, I don’t mean power such as violence. I’m talking about the power of free will.

When Hadarians start doing this, they will be a critical part of the New World, which is based on the integration of male and female principles. In other words, when Hadarians’ flowing love becomes their power as well, they will be the leaders of their own right.

Just because Hadarians were brought to Earth forcefully doesn’t need to mean they cannot be happy here. I look forward the advancement of many Hadarians.

Occasionally I receive emails from people who want “free” readings, and I’ve wondered why. Is psychic reading typically offered free and I’m violating the rule? Hmm, no, there are plenty of psychics who ask for far more than I do. Is it because they don’t think I’m worth their money? But if so, why do they ask me for reading ever?

Is it because they don’t have money? This may seem right, but then, it hit me: It’s because they don’t pay the due that they are poor. They don’t pay what is due, so what is rightfully theirs don’t come their way in their life. They believe they don’t have the money so that is how they are. Look at the energetic exchange (or the lack thereof, in this case), and it’s quite plain and simple.

I’m not advocating to spend lots of money. When I receive bills that I don’t agree, I go after the merchant and straighten things up. I do advocate paying properly. Sometimes I pay more than the bill my, say web designer, charges me. With gratitude. Because I think the work was worth it.

If you want to be treated well for who you are, treat others well. (Plus there are plenty of articles in this blog’s archive about how to start a business and make money )

June in Review

As promised in last month’s Gratitude Journal, I wrote about love and sex — and was discouraged with the low level of comments. Okay . . . if my readers don’t like this topic, maybe I’ll write about something else. But are you sure? I was ready to write more juicy stuffs . . .

I started writing about various starseeds groups. This is going to be a long series. I don’t think there are sufficient information about this, so I take it to my responsibility to write about it.

Fun

In 12 Steps To Raw Foods, Victoria Boutenko, the leading raw foods advocate, writes about a few other healthy habits beside eating raw. One of them is sleeping naked. She cites several studies and maintains sleeping naked promotes surface circulation. (I guess, then, being naked anytime is good, but we need to balance healthy habits with social life requirements. Plus it can be too cold outside the bed.)

Well, the weather is warm, this is the best time to try this. I do think I sleep better this way. Plus it feels good. (My sheets are 100% organic cotton.)

Victoria Boutenko also recommends jumping into cold water, sleeping on hard surface, keeping windows open for fresh air, etc. I started taking cold shower occasionally and try to keep the windows open. Not sure if I can keep doing this in winter, but for now, it works.

Challenges

Blog marketing, I guess. I simply don’t have time to go around promoting my blog. I love writing, and many articles here will be included in the book I hope to publish about Ascension and Akashic Records, so with or without large audience, this blog is very meaningful to me. At the same time, I wish I had more readers. Writing gets lonely sometimes, and there is nothing like reading comments at such time.

Lucky Synchronicities

For this, I’d like to record the great synchronicities I experience in my life. It confirms the benevolent mystery of life

Saturday evening, June 13th. I went out walking to my local supermarket. It’s 15 minutes walk and I find it to be a good way to exercise. There is sidewalk all along lined with lots of trees and flowers.  When I was leaving home, the sky was mildly overcast but it didn’t seem like it would rain any time soon.

I bought some mangos and grapefruits and came out of the store to find rain pouring down. Haven’t I learned the lesson of living in Oregon yet? It can rain any time. The sky changes in 10 minutes.

So . . . I was standing outside the store. Do I want to walk back in rain and just pretend I went swimming? Shall I wait until it clears up?

It was dark with the severe rain, but I noticed the car in the parking lot. Hey, that gray Scion is just like my friend’s. Is she here shopping, too?

I stood there looking around for several minutes. She did come out from the store, looking surprised to see the rain and me.

I got the ride home. I’m lucky. My spirit guides work hard for me. Thank you.

Where in the blogosphere Akemi has been

I’ve always been interested in eating healthy and mindfully.  Here are two videos that inspire you.

First one — by the end of this short video, foods start to look different to you, I hope.

And here is a movie trailer about the miracle of eating raw. It reversed diabetes in 30 days. (HT: Evita)

A year ago at Yes to Me

I started this Gratitude Journal series a year ago. Over the course of the year, I’ve changed the format and posting frequency, but all in all, I think this is a great way to share a bit of my personal side. Namaste.

I personally like “Embrace The Big Questions Worth Spending Your Life For”. It’s about how “quick and easy” answers deprive the joy of living.

Word of month

“Cultivate a sense of gratitude for your food. Each time we remember to eat with awareness, we return to that place of inner peace.”

By earthmother. I learn a lot from her blog about eating raw, which I think has a lot to do with spiritual development. Thank you!

Thank you for your readership and comments, as always ^_^ I hope you are enjoying the warm weather.

It’s a good idea to approach Akashic Record Reading and the higher knowledge it offers with sincerity rather than curiosity. You may feel a bit nervous about it. That’s okay. That said, I don’t consider any reading to be “bad”. Let me explain.

Trauma and energetic issues

In the past life part of my Akashic Record Reading, traumatic events such as murders, rapes, and wars do show up occasionally. Human history is filled with horrible events. For example, I’ve worked with a client who, in their past life, was Jewish who was killed in the Nazi camp. I’ve also worked with a client who was a Nazi member. (Just for clarification — the latter soul is a positive soul. This soul made the mistake of joining the group and staying there. It carried hundreds of curses, among other issues.) Or persecution or witch trial. And sometimes it’s less dramatic — say, a life as a poor manual laborer ending in disease, that was probably related to malnutrition.

I don’t discuss these “bad” experiences to scare off my clients, however. I bring them up because they are related to the energetic issues that are affecting my clients to this day. And all the energetic issues can be taken care of.

For the clearing of such energetic issues, it’s essential the client understand how they started and how they are affecting their current life. Their awareness and intention to clear the issue are what make the clearing effective.

Which is worse for you, having the energetic issues and not knowing what is happening really or finding them out and taking care of them?

Physical exam and Akashic Record Reading

It’s like getting the physical exam. Which is better, not to get the physical and stay ignorant of your condition or to get the physical, learn about your health issues, and take care of them? Now with the physical, there are conditions that are supposed to be incurable. (I say “supposed to be” because, even when the conventional medical doctors say so, I doubt if it is true.) So there is still a good reason to be scared. But with the energetic issues, we have solutions.

But, you may say, isn’t it better to have a clean Akashic Records? Of course. If you already have energetic issues, however, there is no point ignoring them.

So I don’t consider any “bad” events in the Akashic Records to be bad. They are what happened before. I don’t go into too much details, just enough to promote my clients’ understanding.

Negative souls

This may not what the inquirer had in their mind, but another “bad” news in the Akashic Record Reading is when the client is a negative soul.

By negative soul, I don’t mean bad people, however. It means the soul is not evolving toward the life-giving Source. It’s not a judgment call, it’s technical. A negative soul may be obviously negative or manipulative, or they may look like lightworkers, doing good deeds or even spiritual development.

Negative souls usually come to my practice to get rid of the annoying conditions such as ongoing soul shifting or facade devices that hinder them to see themselves as they are. They may not consciously think this is what they want, but I believe every soul that comes my way has a reason.

By clearing these issues, they have a better chance to come back to Light. I cannot force them to come back to Light because that would be a violation of their free will. But I hope my reading serves as a turning point.

I understand it is quite shocking for these clients to hear that they are moving backwards, away from the Light. I’m sorry, I just don’t have any other way to tell you. I cannot brown nose these clients because that would be bending the truth. If I do such thing, I may lose my privilege to enter the Hall of Akashic Records. Moreover, it won’t serve the client truthfully.

For me as a practitioner, the challenge is explaining the situation and how much clearing we can do. If a soul is not evolving toward Light, I just cannot go into their past lives. That is not the option in the Hall of Akashic Records, and it wouldn’t help the client, either.

Think about a car moving the wrong way on the freeway. The first thing that needs to happen is this car turns around. It’s not a time for a tuneup.

With spirituality, the direction is less obvious, and there are quite many souls moving the wrong way, but still, moving the wrong way is moving the wrong way.

I’ve seen a few cases where a negative soul became positive. Light is always available to everyone. So this is not necessarily a “bad” reading, either.

Do you have any questions about Akashic Records? I’ve done hundreds of readings and would be happy to answer your question. Please write in the comment.

One client, who identified himself as gay, asked, “Does our soul have anything to do with our sexual orientation?” It’s an interesting question.

I will first discuss this issue as Akashic Record Reading specialist. Then let me share my personal view about sexual orientation and how unreasonably GLBT individuals are treated even today.  (Photo Credit) 

Male and female energy in a soul

On the physical level, we are born with male or female genes, which show up as different hormonal levels and physical shapes.

On the soul level, we all have more or less of male and female energy. A soul may be predominantly male, predominantly female, or androgynous with about the same amount of male and female energy. This applies to both incarnated souls and spirit guides.

With incarnated souls (us!), the gender of the soul may or may not match the physical sex of the person. This, however, has nothing to do with the person’s sexual orientation.

A woman with a male soul may be happily married to a man and have several kids. With the extra male energy, however, she may enjoy working outside the home as an individual, rather than staying home and assuming the traditional role of a homemaker.

Likewise, a man with a female soul may be straight. If anything, the extra female energy may make him a gentle nurturing figure, and maybe a great dad.

Few incarnated souls have androgynous souls. Androgynous souls are highly advanced souls.

Past life gender and sexual orientation

Souls incarnate in various ways to see this world from different angles, so you are likely to have been incarnated as both man and woman. Again, this has nothing to do with your current sexuality or sexual orientation.

In the specific case of the client who asked the aforementioned question, he had a soulmate contract with a soul who is now incarnated as a man. When I told him about this, he immediately knew which of his past lovers I was talking about. (As I wrote in that linked article, soulmate contract is very harmful.)

However, this only sets him up to have one relationship with a man. One homosexual experience / relationship doesn’t make a person homosexual.

So, my conclusion as Akashic Record reader is that the soul has nothing to do with sexual orientation. I don’t even know if a soul recognize another soul by the gender — it recognize each other by the overall energy.

Homophobia in the 21st Century!?

I am totally pissed off to read the news in which words like “gay” is used derogatively. (HT: Hunter Nuttall) What is it that is bad about loving someone, whether the person is of the same sex or opposite sex? Tell me even one good reason.

I think homophobia is about the fear of our own sexuality. Because sexuality literally strips us “naked” to who we really are. Someone with tons of money and high social status? Who is this person without such decorations? Someone who has tons of knowledge and can say all the right things? Let’s see how this person acts when they are naked.

With men, I think there is an additional fear of not being needed by women. Most women are bi whether they are aware of it or not. For women, pleasure only takes to be touched the right way — penis is not necessary but only optional. This is true even in heterosexual sex — it’s so much easier for a woman to have orgasm in outercourse than in intercourse. (If you haven’t figured this out, well — experiment a bit for a pleasant surprise ) 

By contrast, most men seem to be either straight or gay, not bi. So straight men have difficulty understanding gay men. And straight men, needing women for their satisfaction, wonder: What happens if many women figure out they are bi and men’s treasured tools are only optional? Then they have to attract women by their personality. Ah, how scary. Many people (both men and women) are still not aware of their innate charm and power.

Movies to think about love and sexual identity

I’ve always loved watching “gay” movies because they ask critical questions about love. For example, have you watched these?

The Birdcage
Toward the end of the movie, the “wife” and drag queen (Nathan Lane) asks the critical question to the very old-fashioned senator, father of his son’s fiance. I can’t find the exact quote, but it was something in the line of, “You liked me. You liked who I am. You liked what I had to say about politics, you liked dancing with me . . . What is the difference (whether I am a man or a woman)?”

Brokeback Mountain
Are people born to be gay or are some people recruited? And again, what is so wrong about being gay? The movie shows breath-taking scenery, cute and sensitive guys, and ugly women who do cliched “sexy” things like wearing shorts and high heels. So heterosexual sluttery is fine but not homosexuality? Come on.

The Wedding Banquet
Directed by the same director Ang Lee, who also directed Brokeback Mountain. This is a cute comedy in which traditional Asian values meet American lifestyle, leading to something productive. I really like the ending, which is a kind of polyamory of two gay men and the mother of one of the guy’s baby.

Transamerica
This movie is about MTF (male to female) transgender. A week before her final surgery, Felicity Huffman learns she fathered a son. She spends the week with him traveling across America (I don’t know why they didn’t just fly) without telling him about their biological relationship.

The movie asks the same critical question: Isn’t it who you are that matters, not what gender you are? But then, gender also matters — that is why there are people who go through the transgender procedure. Aaaaagh . . . we are not quite so simple. . .

Victor Victoria
Not really a “gay” movie because Julie Andrews is only pretending to be a man. The guy who falls for “Victor” still has to overcome his inner resistance to go for a man. Great music and sense of humor ^_^

Recently, I noticed I never watched lesbian or bi movie. Isn’t this strange? The above movies were blockbusters and I watched them not because they are gay movies but because they are good movies. And what happened to the female equivalent?

I researched in NetFlix and watched the following:

If These Walls Could Talk 2
This is an omnibus of three stories. The first story is about an elderly lesbian couple who have been together for probably 50 years or so. One has an accident. Her companion (Vanessa Redgrave) can’t see her at the hospital’s intensive care because she is not a family member. She stays in the waiting room all night in case anything happens to the patient. Next morning, she finds her companion passed away during the night. No one let her know. She can’t even say the last good bye to her companion, who is practically her spouse.

Then the relatives of the deceased come and tell her she needs to move out of the house they lived together. Even though both paid toward the mortgage, the title is under her companion’s name, and the Vanessa Redgrave’s role has no legal right to stay there. This is not what her companion wanted — they agreed that, if anything happens to one of them, the other can stay in their home. But in the end, because they were not legally married, the one who just lost her love of life also loses her house.

I don’t think you need to be pro-gay to see the wrong of this scenario. You only need to be pro-love.

Kissing Jessica Stein
I like the humorous setting — a straight girl responding to a woman’s personal ad out of curiosity, who also never had lesbian relationships. I don’t like the hypocrisy of the leading character. Her girlfriend leaves her because she doesn’t want sex so much. This is understandable — sex is important for this woman and she wanted to be desired. The leading character then turns around to a man and says, “She dumped me . . . I guess she wanted someone more gay.” (Quote may not be exact — I’m writing from my memory.)

Hmm, I guess gay men have a lot more to say than lesbian women.

What do you think about our sexuality? In the spiritual context? Please share in the comment.  Thank you.
