Blaming The Victims

Propaganda. It overwhelms us. We see it in our television shows. We see it splashed all over the news. We even get it in Facebook posts (often couched as humor)!!! The way I see it, the propaganda is designed for mainly one purpose: to divide and, thus, conquer the masses. 

Recently, one of the favorite dividing memes seems to be to make fun of McDonald's or Walmart employees who are protesting for actual living wages. These employees typically work their butts off for very little pay. What I don't understand is how other people who work their butts off to survive in this economy can pick on people who work at McDonald's. Are they really that much smarter/better than McDonald's workers that they can complain about paying a McDonald's employees $15 an hour for placing pickles on burgers? Granted, it doesn't take a great deal of brains to do the job, but somebody's got to do it. Does it take much more in the way of brains to lay carpet or work at a bank? Standing for hours at a time in one position can be back-breaking labor (my definition of working your butt off). Why shouldn't they be paid a liveable wage to do it? Because the restaurant can't afford it? Maybe the big, bad McDonald's corporation takes in too much in franchise fees for the restaurant owners to afford better wages for their employees? Regardless, there is money enough to pay liveable wages for everyone, and to think it will make the price of your burger skyrocket is asinine when you understand where the real profits hide!

We have been programmed to believe it's okay for there to be jobs that are incredibly low pay while other more important jobs (?) deserve much better pay. Making fun of people who perform jobs we consider beneath us is a way to make us feel better about the crap jobs we do. Actually allowing those workers at McDonald's or Walmart to make as much (if not more) money than we do would put us all lower down on the totem pole, would it not? After all, wages are a way of keeping score. How else would we know if we are winning?

The bottom line is, these ideas are not our own! They are propaganda, designed to keep distracted and fighting among ourselves so the powers that be can continue to control and decimate our planet. When we bash each other spouting off such propaganda we are, in effect, blaming the victim. That's right! The McDonald's employees are the victims in this little scenario! We are all the victims each time this scenario plays out! Every time you choose to bash the little guy with no power, you play right into the hands of the people who are ruining this planet!

Isn't it time we stopped blaming the victims and turned our energies to fixing what is left of our world? I challenge you to get off your apathetic butts and make a difference! Stop buying into the propaganda and start changing your little corner of the world! You will be amazed at the results!!!

The Memes That Keep Us In Bondage

From Facebook this morning:

The way that banks work!
A story:
An old Native American wanted a loan for $500.
The banker pulled out the loan application.
"What are you going to do with the money?" he asks the Indian.

"Buy Silver, make jewelry, and sell it," was the response.

"What have you got for collateral?"
"Don't know collateral," replied the Indian
"Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. |

"Have you got any vehicles?"
"Yes. 1949 Chevy pickup," replied the Indian
The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"
"Yes, I have a horse," replied the Indian
"How old is it?" the banker asks.
"Don't know, has no teeth," replies the Indian

Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

Several weeks later the old man was back in the bank.
He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here to pay." he said.
He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off.

"What are you going to do with the rest of that money?" the banker asks.
"Put in hogan", replied the Indian

"Why don't you deposit it in my bank," the banker asked.
"Don't know deposit," replied the Indian
"You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you.
Whenever you want to use it, you can withdraw it."

The old Indian leaned across the desk and asks the banker...
"What you got for collateral?" (FB post by Denis Cooney)

What is funny about this joke is how the Native American calls the banker on a standard practice of banking. What is not funny about this joke is how we just accept that it's okay for bankers to earn money for themselves by charging interest on our money, and how we just accept no one else can do it!

The point is, there are many, many memes we have been programmed with to such a degree that we no longer question their legitimacy!!! It is exactly these sort of memes that keep us living within a subtle form of slavery. When we believe these memes are truth, we allow ourselves to be kept in bondage!

What's wrong with bankers charging interest on money they loan out to people, you ask? In order to answer that question, we need to look at what money actually is. Money is a system by which products and services are given values so that these products and services can be traded equitably. While the concept isn't all bad, there can be problems with ranking products and services evenly. Any good attorney (are there any good attorneys?) can argue why something should be of greater or lesser value. My question is, where does the fair come in? Who makes that determination? Society as a whole? The rulers? God?

Let's look at a concrete example. In our society we pay medical doctors extremely well because we value their role of bringing health to the masses. While it can be argued they provide an extremely valuable service, what makes their roles as healers any more valuable than farmers? Musicians and artists? Builders? Factory workers? Fast food employees? Bankers? Should working hard be a factor in this equation? What about talent? The irony of paying doctors (and other occupations) well is the fact that we often end up with doctors who are motivated to become doctors because they will be well paid as opposed to actually having the talent and ability to be gifted healers. Do we really want to be part of a society where we are not encouraged to use our talents for the benefit of all? A society where only certain things are valued and the rest considered unworthy?

Here are some of the memes we believe that keep us in continued bondage:

• It's okay for banks to make money off our hard-earned money.
• Bankers are too big to jail. If some of them go to jail, they deserve to be in special prisons for white collar criminals.
• Certain occupations are worth more than others.
• It's a dog-eat-dog, competitive sort of world. That's natural selection or survival of the fittest.
• Our world's finances should be in the control of people who understand money--the bankers.

There are many more memes we could come up with. The point is, our society is seriously broken. Many of us are hurting and in pain with little relief in sight. 

As a very empathetic person, the pain has become unbearable. I can no longer just sit on the sidelines and watch people die their slow, agonizing deaths.

It is time for us to look at our beliefs and decide whether or not they can still be used, or if they serve to keep us on bondage. Don't be afraid to question what you have been taught. The truth really will set us free!

Zombies And The Real World

I reposted a picture on Facebook the other day. It consisted of two pictures side by side where people were pressed up against store windows in each. The caption read, "Dawn of the Dead, 1978. Black Friday, 2013." The irony was, both pictures looked eerily the same.

We believe zombies are the stuff of myths and legends, and yet a critical look at the world today will yield tragic results. We have become a society of mindless addicts, ruled by the greed and competitiveness we have been programmed with from birth. There is no thought. There is no logic. There is no compassion. We are controlled by a force that has cut us off from there very things that make us human. In a very real way, we have all become the mindless, craving zombies we fear.

What can we do to change this situation? The best thing we can do is take a critical look at our own actions and question why we do what we do. Do we believe it's important to work really hard/"smart" in order to have the finer things in life? Do we pursue such goals regardless of whether or not other people or things get hurt? Do we define others who don't have as much as we do as "lazy" and "worthless"? Does mindless materialism and competition make us happy?

We do not have to be mindless, programmed zombies. We can question our own actions. When we come up with answers we do not like, we can take the simple step of changing the way we do things. Our actions do not need to be thoughtless. Our actions need to be conscious.

All it takes to change the world is to change yourself.

9/11: Day of Empowerment

Twelve years. It's been twelve years since the horrible tragedy that was 9/11. Too much destruction. Too many lives lost. Too much worldwide grief. The effect on the collective consciousness was decisive enough that data from satellites stationed over the earth's magnetic poles registered huge shifts in their readings on that day. (Read more About the Global Coherence Monitoring System and 9/11.) Twelve years later we have not finished the reconstruction of the twin towers, nor have we overcome the helplessness in our own hearts.

Declaring war has not helped us take back our power. All it has done is cost precious lives and resources. Killing the supposed mastermind of this plot, Osama bin Laden, has not overcome the ideology behind the destruction. We feel the chains of this every day and live in fear of even more destruction.

This needs to stop. We were not born into this world to be slaves to weakness and powerlessness. We were born in this era to take responsibility for all those things that happen in our world, both good and bad, and learn from those things. We have waited far to long for those in power to change our world for the better, and quite honestly, it is not going to happen. Creation is not the responsibility of a few but the responsibility of us all!

Do not grieve for those who lost their lives on 9/11! We absolutely miss them, yet all grief does is keep us slaves to helplessness. I don't believe those who died would want their deaths to take away our power. Rather, their sacrifice will be in vain if we do not recognize the lessons they died to teach us.

Let us make this resolution. As we remember all those who lost their lives on 9/11, let us never forget that we have the power to learn! We have the power to make better choices! We have the power to create the sort of world we would like to live in, for ourselves and our children! Allow the light to enter in this day so the world may be a better place for everyone!

Pardon Me, But Your Desperation Is Showing!

Chaos abounds in today's world. If you turn to any one of the mainstream American propaganda machines (ie. CNN, NBC, CBS or FOX news), you will see headlines filled with politicians advising military strikes against Syria's present regime even though the American people are tired of wars we don't win (not to mention wars that could be the catalyst for WWIII). Interestingly enough, Americans don't seem to be buying the blatant lies anymore.

Somehow, the same old story (which usually arouses the ire of the American people) about an "enemy" regime committing crimes against his own people is not raising the same fire for justice that it once did. Stories from alternative news sources proving it is not President Assad's regime firing chemical weapons at his people but the actual rebels the American government is supporting are going mainstream enough that the truth is actually beginning to infiltrate the propaganda machines!!! 

• US Contractors Cited for Syrian Chem Attacks
• Video: Syrian Rebel Admits Using Chemical Weapons
• Pro-Strike Lawmakes Mum As Startling Videos Surface of Syrian Rebels

I have been very pleased by the fact that the American people, for one reason or another, are just not towing the political line anymore (aka eating the political garbage they usually ingest).

All this brings me to another point. Recently I have noticed more mainstream news sources addressing non-mainstream issues. For example, Forbes Magazine has decided to address the "rumors" over the importance of revaluating the Iraqi dinar. (Inside the Dubious Dinar Revaluation Ruse) According to alternative news sources, this is an important step in the global reset and revaluation of all global currencies, which is designed to void out our current exchange system and take power from those who have abused our people and our planet for far too long.

It has occurred to me for the last several weeks that such stories and actions as the Forbes article are designed to convince people to stay in the current illusion (and thus support the powers that be and their continued reign of terror). They are, in effect, saying, "This is your reality and the way things have to be." If we continue to believe the way they have set the world up, we will continue to be manipulated, cheated and underutilized. Our only jobs will be what they choose to bestow on people who are broken enough to do the lowly jobs they create. Our only income will be at their discretion. For me, living the lie is something I am no longer willing to accept.

It is time to change the status quo! It is time to wake up to the infinite wonder and possibility of who we all are!!! It is time to change this harsh, dark world into the world of our dreams!!! 

Pardon me, powers that be, but your desperation is showing! We have learned what we need to learn from this darkness. We appreciate the lessons, but it is time to be on our way! We are ready, and we now choose to live life in joy, gratitude and abundance. Time to let go and allow us to become the beings of power and light we were meant to be.

New Life

I am sitting with my daughter in the delivery room, waiting for her to deliver my first grandchild. It is definitely a new experience for me, both pain and bliss rolled into one. Pain because my daughter is in pain. Bliss because...well, let me give you more background on myself and this pregnancy.

A couple of weeks before we found out my daughter was pregnant, I had this experience. I was working my retail job where I was folding and straightening baby clothes. All of a sudden, I thought how much I wanted to buy baby clothes. I thought it was strange to think such a thing at this point in my life.  That's when it hit me. There was a presence beside me--a spirit, a soul! I knew it was my future grandchild, and he/she was communicating with me!

Ironically, I went home and told my daughter. I honestly thought it might be my oldest son and his very serious girlfriend who would be expecting. I wanted to tell someone about my experience so they could verbally back me up later if it turned out to be real.

About two weeks after my experience, my daughter came to me and said, "Mom, I'm pregnant. I guess you were right. We just didn't know it would be me!"

After that, I was able to "talk" to the baby periodically. I could tell how excited this baby was to be coming to have this earth experience. I let the baby know how excited I was that it was coming.

As I sit with my daughter in her hospital room, I feel this little girl tell me she is almost here! I feel her pushing, straining against the ever growing contractions, but also knowing that the pain is enabling her freedom. Not much longer now!

The joy in my heart and the tears in my eyes tell me she is ready for this new journey to begin. I, too, am ready for this new life. I will do what I can to allow her to grow into the person she desires to be.

Searching For a Leader

Those of us who are part of the "truth" movement (aka the effort to shine a light on all the darkness that enslaves humanity) are searching for a leader. It isn't that we're searching for one person specifically. It's more like we are looking for someone with the answers--someone we can rally around in order to move ourselves in the same positive direction. The thing is, such a person is really difficult to find.

We find one person who seems to know what's going on. We listen to the news he puts out. His message resonates deep within so we begin to listen to what else he has to say. This may go on for days, weeks, months, but inevitably one day we wake up and realize that not everything this person says is truth. At that point, we become disenchanted and point to the flaws in the argument in order to justify why we are no longer following this leader. We look for new truths and usually find someone different to guide us. This cycle seems to continue on in a never-ending series of frustrations and wheel-spinning.

What we fail to see and acknowledge is that we are all a combination of light and dark. While it's true that we often allow one side to overshadow the other, both sides are still there. For some reason, we expect our leaders to be perfectly light. This is where the problem starts. No one is perfectly light! It is unrealistic to expect perfection from someone exactly like our flawed selves.

So what is the answer to this leadership dilemma? In my way of thinking, the problem stems from where we look for a leader. Even though most of us understand that truth lies within, we look outside ourselves for answers. In doing so, we fail to take responsibility for that truth within.

For example, we hear someone else's message. The first thing we tend to do with this new information is to take it inside and decide whether or not it is something that seems or feels "right". If we decide it is not truth, we drop the information and go on to something else. If we decide the information is true for us, we then choose to open up to other insights this individual has to offer. While this is not necessarily a bad way to do things, it inevitably leads to disappointment when the other person eventually exposes his dark side. The point is, what we follow in this scenario is information we have obtained outside ourselves.

If truth really does reside within, we fail ourselves every time we look outside for our answers. When we follow someone else's truth, we deny ourselves the ability to create our own glorious new world!

The leaders we are searching for are US! We need to stand up for our own truth! The reason our world is not changing is because we fail to take responsibility for who we are in each moment! We look to others to stand up when it is really our job to stand up for ourselves!

I am the person I have been waiting for. All I need to do now is consult my own heart for the answers I seek. When I begin to take responsibility for myself, my whole world will change.

Become the leader that is inside! When that leader is unchained, the world will be a very different place.

Slavery Or Freedom

I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.
~Harriet Tubman

Seems hard to believe people would not know they are slaves. You would think it obvious--buying and selling people like cattle, bound to the family/land, working until every ounce of strength has been used up only to repeat the practice the next day. The irony is, slavery is as real today as it was back in Harriet Tubman's time.

Let's look at the facts. We have been living in a world where everything is monetized and the value of that money is backed by humans. This is why the powers that be all over the world make you register your live births. For example, here in America our birth registration and our social security information are sent to the Department of Commerce. The information is then sent to a bond company in New York, who issues ten bonds in your name. The bonds are then held by one of the twelve branches of the Federal Reserve Bank, to  back our dollar and to be traded as commodities through mutual funds on the stock market. Going a little bit deeper down the rabbit hole proves far worse. Not only are our births registered in order to back the currency, our DNA is now also a marketable commodity. This is why they take blood sample every time you go to the doctor. This is why they secretly store your baby's placenta and cord blood. This is why biotechnology accounts for such a large portion of the world's economy, and why the United States Supreme Court is now deciding whether or not corporations and universities actually have the right to patent our genes!

What about being bound to the "family" and/or land? Have you noticed the emphasis in recent years on "illegal" immigration? While people used to be able to travel freely from country to country, now everything relies on a passport. Yes, you can travel, but not freely. People are often blocked and denied this ability by either their country of origin or the country they want to enter. Again, there is a huge emphasis on registration via having the proper passports and visas. (Some of you might believe this is okay because of "security" issues, but the reality is known terrorists pass freely through many countries to be used as pawns in the corrupt games played by our slave owners.)

Working yourself to exhaustion is another game we play. Is there any doubt you have to work harder and harder in order to make ends meet? Our lives have become increasingly difficult in the past few decades, and this has been intentional by the powers that be as they continue to manipulate the markets. This is where the mortgage bubble has come from. This is why the Libor scandal happened. This is why gold and silver prices have been bouncing around. The powers that be have done everything they can think of to steal your value as a human--all behind your back of course.

Ask yourself this question: Am I free? The answer may shock you. Still, understanding your position is the first step in correcting it. Know there are many people who have understood this dilemma and have gone before us all to clear the way for our true freedom. Their efforts are about the pay off. Appreciate the sacrifices they have made for you, and be willing to emerge from the rabbit hole into the beautiful light of a new world.

Creation...A Dream World or a Nightmare?

My thoughts today are just a whirling mass of chaos, clamoring for some semblance of order. I'm hoping that, maybe, if I can write them out it will help me organize them enough to make sense of what seems to be coming to me.

My conundrum started with all the predictions of big things potentially happening this month (May 2013). From David Wilcock's dream revelation to Lindsey William's dire predictions about the economic collapse to Clif High's May wujo on a potential coastal global event to Cobra's energy portal opening toward the end of the month my head is swimming in details. While not all the scenarios are negative, I have had the most difficult time grappling with Clif High's predictions for a global coastal event.

For those of you who may not know who Clif High is, he is a gifted computer programmer who helped develop data mining software initially designed to predict stock market trends using keyword searches, but who discovered along the way this data could predict much more than stock trends. What concerns me is the possibility the data he has uncovered for years about vast changes in coastlines could potentially fit with the timing of things this month.

Lindsey Williams is a minister with connections among some of the powers that were. He often knows details about things that are going to happen, and lately he has been revealing details of the planned financial collapse. The thing is, I can dismiss much of what Lindsey says because he is pretty much giving a verbatim account of how the powers that were are planning things to be--very different from how they often end up because of the vast numbers of people finally waking up to the world's financial slavery system.

Clif High's stuff is harder for me to invalidate. However, somewhere the idea has come to me that Clif's software reads the energy of what gets put out on the web. This would encompass both the ideas of what the powers that were are planning for the world in order to keep themselves in power as well as the fear they are placing in the rest of us that certain things will come to pass. I personally am convinced the powers that were are trying to begin World War III and create global catastrophe in order to kill off billions of us and physically enslave the rest through martial law. This is where their New World Order crap comes into play--one world government, one world currency, etc.

The prevailing fear is their last attempt to create the world of their dreams (and the world of our nightmares). As thieves and guardians of some of the world's greatest spiritual truths, they understand that thought can be a powerful tool of creation. Even though they lose power with each day that passes, they cling to the one thing that could potentially roll the ball back into their side of the court--fear.

If the powers that be can keep us fighting among ourselves--over perceived tyrants and border disputes and immigration and marriage and guns and drugs and anything else--they can keep us full of fear and negativity. If they make use believe scriptural calamities are coming our way, our fears could potentially come to pass. If the powers that were can convince us their "solutions" are the only way we can survive as a planet, our fear will continue to keep them in power.

It does not have to be this way! Are we full of fear? Are we full of fighting and war? I know I'm not. I have been given the vast ability to love--even those who are often considered by society as unlovable. I believe every other person on this planet has this same potential. It is only a matter of learning how to tap into it. By standing up to the fear and saying, "I love you so much I am willing to help you succeed," we can overcome the negativity and change the course of the planet.

The time for separation has passed. It is time to step back into compassion, step back into kindness, step back into love. We can keep the world from becoming an uninhabitable wasteland and live in freedom and integrity. It is a question of allowing our love to become bigger than our fear. It is a matter of changing our energy--our frequency--to one of love and peace.

     

I Am Enough

At the ripe old age of 47, I've spent several years telling the same running joke. The line is, "I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!" Even though I say it in a playful way, there is actually much truth behind the statement.

The first real job I ever really wanted was that of writer--something I decided when I was twelve. I love to lose myself in a good book, and I thought it would be great to evoke the same sort of feelings in others. (I have always had some rather daydreaming/escapist tendencies.) In some respects, I do see myself as a writer even though it is not something I earn a living at.

In college, I got a BA in psychology, thinking I wanted to be a counselor and help people deal with their problems. That plan fell by the wayside after I had children and decided I wanted to raise them full time. Getting divorced put a big kink in the professional parent role, although I have to admit the jobs I took at the point were ones that allowed me to continue to put my kids first. I ended up as a daycare teacher. It paid the bills but with very little money left over and almost no professional credibility. Ironically I did get offered management positions several times (which I declined because I did not want the added stress for not much extra pay). At one point I even managed to get a temporary teaching certification which allowed me to be the lead teacher in a Georgia Pre K classroom, but as I knew I didn't want to be a teacher forever I did not finish the requirements to get my permanent certification.

At present, I am blessed to be able to work part time. When I first made the decision, I thought I would have time to actually focus on writing. However, even though I often have great ideas my ADD tendencies make it difficult to sit around and focus on any one major project. At times, I am extremely frustrated with myself and my lack of ambition. I even try to figure out what it is that drives me--what it is I am passionate about, but no one thing really stands out to me.

As I pondered this subject yet again this morning, something profound came to me. In this society, we are taught it is important to have goals and to be something. Usually being something requires you to define yourself in some way. For example, I am a writer or a teacher or a business person, etc. Absolutely nothing I know of in this world is something I feel I want to pursue for the rest of my life. There are times I do want to be a writer. There are times I want to be a teacher. There are times I want to be in business for myself. There are others professions I am attracted to as well. If I am to perfectly honest with myself, however, I do not wish to limit myself to any one of these things. The thought that occurred to me as I drove my youngest son to school was, maybe it is not necessary to be so focused on defining myself. Maybe I need to stop looking at things the world deems as necessary and just allow myself to be--whatever that is in any given moment.

The very act of defining who you are creates automatic limitation. Somewhere deep in my heart, I know I am  an unlimited and powerful being. I do not wish to be in a box--even a box of my own choosing and design.

The reason living in the state of now is such a powerful place to be is because you are in the moment, choosing from one second to the next what makes you happy. It is not something you have to think about. It is something you feel, and feelings are where the magic happens.

I choose not to designate myself as writer or teacher or business woman or anything else. I am all those things and more. I do not need to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I am, and that is enough.

Why We Should Let Go

I've been a part-time sales associate at Penney's (yes, that ailing American retailer) for about two-and-a-half years now. Within that time, I watched them go from a sales strategy of fluctuating prices that included "sales" and coupons and ended with 99 cents to prices that were ultra-competitive every day that only went lower when they went on clearance and ended in even dollar amounts. I have to confess--I LOVED the changes Ron Johnson made to the pricing!

Let's look at the difference between pricing the ends in 99 cents verses even dollar amounts. When I was growing up, my folks always taught me to add a penny to the price of anything that ended in 99 cents (common sense, right?). If an item is listed at $14.99, in reality it is $15. While a good many people understand this concept, many, many more do not! What I discovered when I was adding up peoples' items is that most of them do not add on the penny! I was totally amazed at the people who thought they were adding up the prices in their heads only to discover they were way off! Say for example they were purchasing five items. They would look at the $14.99 and think it was $14! When they did this for five items, their totals were $5 off (without even looking at taxes)! I would patiently explain to them how to add the penny so their totals wouldn't be off! This is why I appreciated the even dollars amounts that Ron John made standard practice at Penney's (and why I was appalled to see some of our merchandise on sale this week for $4.99)!!! To me, this can be a very deceptive practice, and I am definitely not into deception.

Then look at the "sales" and coupons. The prices were much higher with the old pricing strategy. I was on the team that changed all the prices at my store in January of 2012, and I was truly amazed by what I saw! The vast majority of the listed prices were literally cut in half!!! With the old pricing strategy, prices changed almost daily, give or take a couple of dollars at the twice as high price. "Sales" consisted of a few less dollars on certain items only. One of my gifts is the ability to spot patterns, and one of the patterns I noticed consistently was that the really good coupons ($10 off $10 or more or $25 or more) were at times the overall prices in the store were at their highest levels. Of course, they would have their limited number of "Door Buster" items to draw in the crowds, but unless you were only buying door busters, you did not come out ahead--the store did! You only believed you were making out like a bandit, but it kept you happy, didn't it? Again, to me, this is extremely deceptive and I do not like it!

Yes, I am in rant mode! Why? Because I was in my store shopping today and I saw they were marking everything up twice or more than what the every day price was! The coupons have been out for weeks already, and you can't make a profit with coupons and extremely low prices. Yes, folks! You are getting your damn coupons back! Hope the sticker shock doesn't come back to bite you in the ass!!! If you ever decide to get a new tattoo, might I suggest the word "sucker" in big, bold letters on your forehead!!!

My point with my very wordy essay on corporate greed and deception? People don't like change, and that is why the world continues to stay in a state of corruption and decline!!! You can look at this world through rose-colored glasses and con yourself into believing that everything is fine, but until you understand that change is the only thing that will allow the world to lose the deception and become better the world will continue to go down the tubes!

It's time! Take off the rose-colored glasses and see the world for the corrupt, deceptive place it is! The more willing you are to identify what's wrong with your community the more likely you are to change it! It is time to let go of all that is familiar. It is not working for anyone but the 1%. The world has untapped resources available. Be willing to look for them and use them as we work to bring about a golden age on this dusty and tired planet.

  

I'm In the Allowing Party!

I am so fed up with the labels! I have been called by many names in my lifetime. Girl. Woman. Daughter. Sister. Mother. Friend. Enemy. Heterosexual. Christian. Democrat. Republican. Intelligent. Stupid. Fun. Boring. Saint. Sinner. And it goes on...and on...and on...ad naseam!!!

The thing is, I am in process of letting go of judgments--against both others and myself. It is not a quick and easy task as I have been taught to judge everything--even things as inane as burping in public or people with tattoos! The judgments we have of ourselves, each other, and the world are directly tied to the labels we give to various things. Labels are one way of categorizing and organizing the information in our brains.

As judgmental human beings, we attempt to limit our own actions to those things we have been taught are "good" or "right". This is the step where we stop growing because we have mentally chosen to limit our behaviors. (This does not mean I think everyone should go around doing every "bad" thing they thought about doing. It does mean we learn to hear the wisdom in our hearts and follow that guidance.)

I have come to the point of my development where I no longer want to be labeled. (This, to me, equates to putting me in a box.) Just as I do not want to be thought of as "bad", I also do not want to be thought of as "good", nor do I want to be labelled woman, daughter, sister, mother, friend, enemy, heterosexual, christian, or anything else! What I desire to do is BE, without dictates, mandates or directives. I want to be free to follow the moment by moment guidance of my heart without the distraction of labels!

I especially don't want to be labeled Democrat or Republican! (Them's fightin' words for sure in my book!) If you must call me something, tell everyone I'm in the Allowing Party. It's a party that doesn't care if you are Democrat or Republican (or Libertarian). It doesn't care of you are good or bad, intelligent or stupid, black or white, or any other limiting thing. It's an all-inclusive party where we are free to follow the guidance and wisdom in our own hearts. It's a place where we are allowed to BE.

Letting Go of Destructive Patterns

For Eva and Bill

Change is in the air! Within the past couple of days, an incident occurred in my life that made me extremely angry (much too angry for the apparent situation if the truth be known). Without going into detail, let's just say I was (once again) being taken advantage of, and anger hit me like a brick wall. It was as if all the anger and resentment I have carried through many lifetimes all came into focus with this one little incident.

A great deal of emotion has confronted me the past couple of weeks. Anger. Resentment. Worry. Fear. All extreme. It took listening to the wise words of someone who is also in the middle of resolving crisis to help me recognize this emotion is here to bring about the opportunity to identify old destructive patterns in order to let go of them and create something new--something better.

As I began to focus on why this little incident brought up so much anger for me, I started to see a pattern--in this lifetime and in lifetimes past. Somehow, somewhere I got the idea that I was strong and that I could (and should) take on pain so others did not have to take on so much. In other words, I have developed quite the martyr complex. In the process, I have denied myself the very things that I want in life--even denying the full power of who I am. I have spent a long time playing small so others did not have to take full responsibility for themselves.

The reality is, my martyrdom benefited no one! Not myself. Not even the others I believed I was saving from pain. The fact of the matter is, we come to this world to learn. Many of these lessons require a great deal of pain because pain makes such a big impact on our lives. The only thing my martyrdom truly did was make me resent the things I gave up in order to save others from pain!

So now it's time to make a change. The anger of my little incident has been the catalyst for me to analyze what is wrong in my life and make appropriate changes. I'm really not sure how this will all play out. I do know that it is important for me to take everything one moment at a time. I need to live each moment of now so that I can deal with those emotions as they come up and begin to change all the ways I be that are this pattern of martyrdom. It is only by letting go of my destructive patterns that I can make room for something new. Something different. Something better.

Everything in the world right now screams to me that now is the time to give up all our destructive patterns. Change is here! Let's step up and create the space for a bold, new, wonderful world! We have the power to create lasting change! We are the change we wish to see in the world!

I am so honored to be taking this journey with each and every one of you! Namaste!

The Choice: Righteousness or Truth?

In our world today, there is a right/wrong, good/bad mentality where it is important to establish the side you stand on. Very often, we believe that righteousness and truth are one and the same, and choosing your side involves discovering what is true (or so the story goes). The question becomes are righteousness and truth the same thing? It is my belief that righteousness and truth are not the same things and the difference between the two is key to shifting consciousness.

The concept of righteousness revolves heavily around the idea of being "right". In other words, for every situation there is a right side and a wrong side. We are taught that standing in righteousness involves discerning the "right" side and then following it. The thing is, depending on the society you grow up in, what is "right" can mean different things to different people. For example, people who follow the Bible often believe being gay is a sin solely on the basis that they Bible says it is a sin. They do not take into consideration that fact that many gay people are born to and raised by good Christian people who do everything in their power to promote heterosexual relationships. Many of these gays do everything in their power to conform to what they have been taught is "right" at great personal sacrifice and expense. These people deny what is inside them--what they were born with. How can this be "right"?

The concept of righteousness inherently brings about separation. What do I mean by separation? When you choose one side as the "right" side, you begin to identify with that side. You believe your choice means you have to live by certain rules and keep yourself pure from what you see as the "wrong" side. You will proclaim your differences and most likely maintain some sort of distance from those who oppose your point of view. Keeping yourself away or apart from another is separation.

Truth is very different from righteousness. Many people believe truth comes with a whole series of rules, but the fact of the matter is truth has very few rules. Truth is simply the way things are. All things exist in truth. Truth does not separate and divide. Truth is not limited to a particular view. What we believe to be "the rules" is really righteousness disguised as truth.

When a person chooses righteousness over truth, he makes the decision to keep himself separate from those who do not agree with his view of the world. When a person chooses truth, he allows everything to exist and works to build Oneness and unity in the whole.

We have come to a point in history where the choice between righteousness and truth is key to our survival. If we continue to believe there is a right and a wrong and we must choose sides, we will allow our differences to destroy us. If we can learn to see ourselves as connected to one another and live in truth, we will no longer be bent on destroying each other for our differences and can live in peace and harmony. The advancement of all those on planet earth requires this transition out of separation and back into Oneness.

Ask yourself this vital question: will this choice bring about separation or Oneness? The choices we make today will bring us either closer or farther away from a peaceful, loving planet. Make your choices count!

No More Boxes!

Don't call me American.
Or Christian.
Or white.
Or female.
Or straight.
Or liberal.
Or conservative.
Or smart.
Or stupid.
Or funny.
Or boring.
Or any other label you use to define me.
What I express today
May be entirely different tomorrow.

I am not a label.
Labels are limitations--boxes,
And I was not born
To be contained.

I am all things,
And all things are me!
I was born to experience
And experiment.
To run.
To stumble.
To play.
To study.
To love.
To hate.
To dream.
To create.
To choose.
To exist.

I have lived in enough boxes
To last many lifetimes.
I AM,
And that's all I need to be.

Money Musings

After listening to a recording of a radio show by a gifted psychic, Andrew Bartzis, I was inspired to have a little dialogue with "money". In our society, we are taught that inanimate objects do not have sentience. However, because of experiences I have had in the past, I have been able to connect on an energetic level with many sorts of things--trees, crystals, Mother Earth. I know that everything has a message if you are able to tune in to it. I am grateful to Andrew for reminding me of this.

I took out a one dollar Federal Reserve Note from my purse so I had something a little more concrete to focus on. The energy coming off it was so negative and HUGE it was all I could do to continue to hold it. All my personal negativities came to the surface as well, which added to my agitation.

The first thing that dawned on me was that the energy I was feeling was not from the dollar itself. It was the energy placed on it by people who desired to use it to control others and the world. The energy was placed on it specifically to suck all the resources away from the people who used it. It was a very draining energy, and I understood it was designed to steal not only physical and financial resources but energetic resources as well.

My thought was to use my own energy to try to neutralize it. This did not work very well and I felt my efforts blocked. I then asked for inspiration and felt guided to ask Mother Earth and my friends the Elementals (spirits/energies of things in nature) to surround and neutralize the energy. This worked much better and I felt myself free to directly communicate with the dollar itself.

This dollar had a lot to say when I was finally able to communicate with it! It was upset by the fact that it had been used to control so many people and was consequently disliked by many people. It hated being in the hands of a few when it wanted to experience all different sorts of people and be used for many good endeavors. At this point, I understood money was also trapped by the same people who would enslave the vast majority of the population.

Suddenly, I felt the structure of a Ho'oponopono prayer come to me naturally. I felt the need to tell money how sorry I was that I allowed others to keep it from me and to ask its forgiveness. I thanked money for wanting to be there for me and reassured it I loved it regardless of how others had manipulated it.

I left the experience with a much softer place in my heart for money, and I am focusing my energy to help money in its endeavors to be used for the abundance of all.   

The Judas Choice, Duality and Sacred Agreements

We live in a world based on separation. The Bible tells us the first thing God did when he created this world was to separate the darkness from the light. We have learned to identify ourselves with one role or another--good/bad, Democrat/Republican, straight/gay, Christian/Moslem/Jew/Hindu, ad infinitum. As we take on these various identities, we use these distinctions to bond to certain groups and alienate ourselves from certain others. Separation can be a useful learning tool, but is it really the end game? Why is separation important? Does belonging to a certain group make us better or worse than others, and should our goal be "righteousness"?

The Biblical story of Judas comes to the forefront of my Christian upbringing. Judas was the ultimate betrayer because he was paid off by the authorities to identify Jesus to the soldiers who would arrest him. The traditional Bible (the one that Christians believe to be the word of God) portrays Judas as the ultimate "bad" guy. Various texts in the New Testament talk about how Jesus recognized his betrayer in advance, how the devil prompted Judas to sell out Jesus for gold, and how Judas was so filled with guilt after the deed was done that he committed suicide--a fitting end for such an evil person, or was it?

The Gospel of Judas says some very different things about Judas. What is the Gospel of Judas? It is a translation of some coptic language papyrus writings which surfaced in the 1970's and was carbon dated back to A.D. 280. Although the actual text is literally fragmented, what remains is an intriguing account of the betrayal of Jesus by Judas. The text claims that Jesus and Judas were extremely good friends and that Jesus did indeed know Judas would betray him and even planned with him because this was the sacred role Judas had agreed to portray. In the Bible's context, betraying Jesus is a horrendous sin, and yet even the Bible acknowledges Jesus had to be betrayed and killed so the prophecies could be fulfilled. Consider this: if the plan of salvation required the sacrifice of Jesus, someone had to be the betrayer. Nobody likes the "bad" guy. In fact, we are all taught to hate and despise the "bad" guy and to separate ourselves from him. Why would anyone in their right mind choose to play the "bad" guy?

If life is the learning process I believe it to be, choosing to be "evil" is a difficult choice to make. Even though we are taught it is selfish and wrong to harm others, it is those acts that cause harm which usually teach us the most. Making the choice to play the "bad" guy role takes strength and courage because such a choice puts us in the center of controversy and punishment--the ultimate place of separation. It is so much easier to make the choice to be "good" and fit in. It is my belief that Judas entered into a sacred agreement when he agreed to play the bad guy role--an agreement to make himself a target so that others could learn and grow.

To all those who have made the Judas choice, I give you my unconditional love and appreciation. Thank you for your willingness to play the "bad" guy role so that my understanding and compassion could be increased. Thank you for helping me feel the depths so I could also feel the heights. Thank you for allowing me to use my gift of unconditional love to heal the planet. Your service has had tremendous benefit for the One, and I am truly grateful you made the choice to be my teacher. Namaste, my friends.

What Does It Mean To Move From 3D to 4D?

I have a confession to make. Most of the topics people discuss when they talk about "ascension" do not resonate with me. I don't get what they consider vital differences between dimensions. I can't stand it when they seem to rate "higher" dimensions as so much better and the people in them (or the people who communicate with those dimensions) are so much wiser and more evolved. (After all, aren't there versions of our own selves in those "higher" dimensions as well?) To me, this view comes from ego-based thought, and I am trying to rid myself of that. However, a Facebook friend posted a video the other day that gave me some real food for thought. It related dimensions to chakras in our move from 3D to 4D. This thought truly does resonate with me!

What does this mean? Well, the 3rd chakra is the Solar Plexus chakra, or the chakra that deals with power--particularly personal power. Problems with the chakra come from both extremes. One extreme is not taking responsibility for your own power and delegating it to others. The other extreme involves taking the power of others and using it to control them. Neither stance is in balance or harmony. These are also the two problems I believe dominate our world today. We have the relatively few who want to control everything, and we have the masses who don't care as long as they have their football and beer.

The 4th chakra is the heart chakra. This chakra is the one we are able to connect to Oneness with. With a functional heart chakra, you are able to fully interact with others in positive ways because you know who everyone is and understand how it all fits together into one glorious whole. 

It is the transition from powerful/powerless to living in Oneness and taking responsibility for our lives that we are presently undergoing. Power-centered to heart-centered. 3D to 4D. It requires a new way of thinking--a new way of BEing. It requires balancing your own personal power in such a way that you allow yourself to be you while at the same time allowing others to be who they are. The world of my dreams! Join me?

You Will Reap What You Sow

I believe big changes are getting ready to take place on planet Earth. While I am optimistic the changes will be by and large positive, a word of warning and caution comes to me this morning. "You will reap what you sow."

While most of us believe this is true, it behooves us to think about how things are verses how we wish them to transpire in the very near future. More importantly, are we the sort of people that can function well in a society that is peaceful, loving and free? Our first response is, "Of course we can!", but take a good hard look at what that really means.

Can we really love our fellow man, or will we look at each one with judgment and say, "She is a good person so she can stay," or "He should be banned from society because of what he has done." I look at the all present political rhetoric and think, "People are going to go out and lynch other people when the truth comes out about what they've done." If we as a people carry that much anger in our hearts, we will continue to carry that anger over into a more "just" society. Personally, I don't enjoy living in anger, and the society I want to live in does not contain it.

Think about the energy you carry as a person. Do you see your fellow man with compassion or anger? Do you view the triumphs of others with excitement or jealousy? Do you feel using your gifts and talents is a blessing or a burden? We all carry and radiate out certain energies. Are the energies you carry compatible with the world you desire to live in?

You will reap what you sow. Make sure the seed you're sowing will blossom into the fruit you enjoy eating.

The World Gone Mad

It's the second month of 2013, and the world seems to have gone completely insane! The Los Angeles Police Department is busy shooting up different make and color and trucks in an attempt to kill alleged serial killer/fired cop Christopher Dorner. (My question is, what does he know they are willing to allow innocent bystanders to get in the way in order to take him down?) Then there's the resignation of the Catholic Pope. For the past 600 years, sitting popes have died in office. As I recall, the last pope was pretty decrepit before he passed away. The current pope is resigning because of "health concerns"? Really?!!! This is actually the second high-powered resignation in the past couple of weeks. The first one was Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, who is going to abdicate in favor of her son. What in the world is happening? Has the world gone mad?

The simple answer is, "Yes!" The world is falling apart even as I write this, and it will probably get worse before it gets better. The thing is, it often takes a great deal of pain before people are willing to take notice and make changes. We live in a world where most of us are content to let responsibility go and allow others to handle the burdens. Unfortunately, most of the people we have given the responsibility of running our world have let us down in big ways. We are suffering. The earth is suffering. The world seems to be going crazy because we have let things get so far out of control they are breaking down. The world is broken and no bandaid, quick-fix can repair it.

So what happens now? How do we fix a world gone bad? It is time to take a much closer look at the institutions that are breaking down: the financial systems, the kings and queens, the prolonged fighting/wars, etc. Although we are used to such institutions, they continue to destroy us. Change is difficult for most people, but if we allow things to continue on as they are our demise is inevitable. I, for one, am no longer willing to accept societal norms because all they do is lull us into a false sense of security. Ultimately, we must acknowledge that what has been done in the past is no longer working and develop new paradigms which focus on restoring order and rebuilding community.

Sometimes institutions need to break down in order for people to rebuild something much more substantial and wholesome. Yes, the world has gone mad. May we rise above the madness to create a much more abundant, beautiful world!

The Paradigms That Keep Us Trapped

These are just a few of the accepted paradigms in society today. Read over each one, and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is it true?
2. Is it healthy?
3. Can it change?
4. What can I do to make it change?

Here are some of the commonly held paradigms held in America:

1. Worldwide financial institutions (aka banks) are too big to fail.
2. Bankers and corporate executives are too powerful to go to prison for their crimes.
3. If our corporations were allowed to fall apart and go bankrupt, our whole world would erupt in chaos.
4. We need an infinite number of rules and laws so we don't harm others.
5. American medicine is the most advanced in the world.
6. We need to find cures for cancer.
7. Quality healthcare is expensive.
8. It takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money to eat healthy in America.
9. It is important to earn a living, even if it means working a menial job that does not use my talents and abilities.
10. Paying taxes is a necessary evil.
11. Those we elect to office have the power to improve society.
12. We are free so we have the duty to make sure the rest of the world is also free.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. It is designed to get the ball rolling, so to speak, and make you ask questions about many of the norms we accept as truth. I don't believe anything is absolute. The process of growth and expansion relies on asking new questions because questions have the ability to wake us up to new and unique perspectives. When we begin to question our everyday paradigms, we have the ability to expand our worlds past the world we presently find ourselves in. It is time for change. Are you ready to shift?

Music To Overcome the Anklebiters

I feel so much that our world is on the edge of a very powerful breakthrough. The past few days have weighed very heavily on me as I find my lack of patience frustrating. When I contemplate these feelings, one thought penetrates: the anklebiters are attacking!

What are the anklebiters, you ask? They are those lower vibrating energies that attack you, trying to get you to resonate at that same frequency. The anklebiters are not particularly powerful but they are persistent and it is often their persistence that overpowers you.  This is where the feelings of powerlessness and frustration come into play. Anklebiters are not hard to overcome. You just have to be aware they are attacking and bring yourself into higher vibration by focusing your attention on something with a higher frequency.

A Facebook friend posted this lovely video this morning. As I listening to the very soothing sounds of Kitaro playing the Theme From Silk Road, I felt myself pulling away from the anklebiters and rising to a much more soothing, loving frequency. Thought I would share this video with you in the hopes that you are also comforted! With love!

The People Who Play God, Part Two

Swine flu. H1N1. It made a lot of headlines in 2009. In June of that year, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic and urged everyone to be vaccinated for the disease.  People stood in lines. Supplies ran out in various locations. The great irony is that the illness never panned out the way doctors told us it was going to go. Yes, people got sick and some of them died. This happens with any flu. It did not kill the number of people health officials predicted.

What I find intriguing about this story is the fact there was already a vaccine developed to fight this "new" 2009 A(H1N1) virus. The patent for it had been applied for in 2007! Let me repeat that. The patent for the H1N1 vaccine was applied for in August of 2007! You can see a copy of the filing here. Look below the publication date of March 5, 2009 to where it says "Provisional application number" and you will see the application for patent was filed on August 28th, 2007. Interestingly enough, it is very difficult to find information on the actual patent through typical search engines (US 2009/0060950 A1). I tried Google searches AND a search at the at the United States Patent and Trademark Website (where I was left with a message that read no results found). Googling H1N1 patent provided me with the first clues. This is not new information--just hard to find. (Update: this information is now impossible to find through a regular Google search. I had to use DuckDuckGo on 2/1/18!)

Something else bothers me about the H1N1 virus. This quote from Wikipedia, under Influenza A virus subtype H1N1:

In the 2009 flu pandemic, the virus isolated from patients in the United States was found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses – North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe – "an unusually mongrelised mix of genetic sequences."^[19] This new strain appears to be a result of reassortmentof human influenza and swine influenza viruses, in all four different strains of subtype H1N1.
Preliminary genetic characterization found that the hemagglutinin (HA) gene was similar to that of swine flu viruses present in U.S. pigs since 1999, but the neuraminidase (NA) and matrix protein (M) genes resembled versions present in European swine flu isolates. The six genes from American swine flu are themselves mixtures of swine flu, bird flu, and human flu viruses.^[20] While viruses with this genetic makeup had not previously been found to be circulating in humans or pigs, there is no formal national surveillance system to determine what viruses are circulating in pigs in the U.S.^[21]

Why does this bother me? It appears this particular strain of flu virus is an unusual mix of DNA material from North American pigs, North American birds, human flu, and pig viruses found mostly in Asia and Europe. How on God's green earth does something like that magically mutate together? Seems less an act of nature than and more an act of DNA manipulation (otherwise known as recombinant DNA, which was first officially performed in l972).

Is it possible there are those who create problems in order to also supply the solutions (for a price, of course)? Is the world truly so dark that people would play with the lives and financial resources of others? Only the people who play God know for sure. Beware. The light is coming!

Life On the Fence

We're told that living life on the fence is a bad thing. It's important to think about life and make choices about where you stand on the issues so you can support all that is right, all that is good, all that is true. After all, if you're on the fence you don't stand for much of anything, do you?

We're told that, but I'm not convinced it is true. I've spent time on both sides of the fence at various points in my life, and I can't say I've truly enjoyed either one. Why, you ask? While I admit there is a certain satisfaction in believing you stand in truth, one good solid fact can scatter your truth to the four winds and you are left rebuilding your entire world. Sadly, what we see as "truth" is often just one perspective in a multifaceted world. Believing you have all the answers leads to fights and wars and untruth because you do not have all the information available.

Life on the fence is a bit of a balancing act. Sometimes you feel yourself falling into one side or the other and you have to counteract the force of gravity in order to maintain that balance. Keeping yourself upright is not always easy nor is it always pleasant. Still there is something to be said for living a balanced life. Living at either extreme can easily tear you apart (and it often does). When you choose to align yourself with a side, you are choosing to keep yourself inside the fray.

While I admit I do fall off the fence at times, I am getting faster at recognizing when I do and am able to climb back up much more quickly. I find life on the fence is much more peaceful than it was when I was "right". I can accept people for who they are without judging them, all the while allowing them to have those experiences they have chosen to have. I allow myself the same privilege.

Someday, I'd like to think everyone will live life on the fence. There will be no more fighting. Instead, we can all help our fellow BEings maintain balance and live in harmony with all.

The Coming Reforms

In my mind's eye, I see a huge shift coming. The unbalanced state of the planet and the massive amount of pain this condition has brought about are beginning to wake people up to the problems and corruption. So much disinformation has been put out by the powers that were it will take a great deal of time to counteract the effects. People will need to understand what the lies have been so they are willing to receive the new information they need to make healthier, more productive choices. I have begun to call this process "the reforms" as I see it as a time when people start to identify the problems and work to change them.

Take our food supply. Even though people have begun to understand the ill effects brought on by processed foods, they have yet to understand how "dead" most of our food truly is. Between GMO's (which are increasingly being linked to disease and infertility) and the lack of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, digestive enzymes and probiotics (healthy bacteria that improve digestion and immune function), Americans receive almost no nutrition in the food they eat. Sometimes even organic food does not have the nutrition we would like it to have, thanks to the former depletion of the soil's nutrients. When you then take into account the government hands out subsidies and writes laws favoring large scale, extremely unhealthy corporate farms (the ones responsible for those huge E.coli and salmonella recalls), you begin to understand how corrupt the system truly is. Then they go on to tell us people have to starve (and justify sterilizing the planet)  because our world just cannot support seven billion+ people. (The powers that were obviously haven't seen videos like this!)

Look at our medical system. Conditions like ADHD, autism, depression, cancers and heart disease have risen dramatically--yet we're still either "looking for the cure" or trying to find what fabulous new drugs will make the disease symptoms subside (often resulting in horrible new side effects which require even more drugs!!!). Here in America, the lifespan of the average American woman has decreased by two years. These facts are right under our noses, yet we continue to insist we have the best medical system in the world! (We definitely have the most expensive medical system in the world!) To me, the healthcare debate that continues to rage only encourages a system that kills us more quickly (which I believe is the goal of the powers that were!!!).

I could stand on my soapbox for hours discussing the world's problems, but the reality is many more knowledgeable people will be bringing their expertise to the forefront in big ways very soon. It is time for us to recognize the problems so we can shift out of the old paradigm into one with much more promising choices. It will not be an easy shift. Many of us have been deceived into building our foundations on shifting sands. Still, I will say this. Better worlds can come when you have to start from scratch. Try not to fear the coming reforms. The choices and freedoms you find will make your wildest dreams come true!

The People Who Play God

You can learn a lot of secrets at the patent office. The claims of Cynthia Marie Brewer, who claims to be the unwilling donor of genetic material for the Human Genome Project, have intrigued me from the first time I heard her being interviewed. An article she wrote (you can link to that article here at the American Kabuki website) gives a patent number: 4237224. A simple google search on that patent number has proven quite fascinating!

The very first link provided gives a brief explanation of the patent--rather technical lingo for the layman talking about DNA using words like replication and expression. However, if you look at the overview on the left side of the screen you will find this description: Process for producing biologically functional molecular chimeras. What is a chimera, you ask? In ancient times, chimeras were mythical creatures who were bits and pieces of different creatures that formed one creature. As far as the field of genetics is concerned, a chimera is an organism made up of of two or more genetically distinct tissues or an artificially produced organism that contains tissue from two or more species.  Basically, it is a process of splicing genes to produce new DNA combinations and organisms! Science has revealed some of this information in recent years, as evidenced by pictures like this.

The idea behind chimeras really does sound like something out of either mythology or science fiction, but here is some actual scientific evidence to back the concept up!

The original patent 4237224 was applied for in January of 1979 and granted in 1980. That was over 30 years ago, folks! Think about how far scientists have gotten in the field of computers in that amount of time. Is it that inconceivable to think they have come just as far with DNA manipulation? Also think about this: the most advanced technology pretty much always goes on in secret behind closed doors. How far have they really gone (and what ethical codes may have been broken) within that time frame?

While this patent does not prove Cynthia was used in DNA experiments to produce a viably functional chimera, it does lead credence to the idea that such experimentation was indeed possible. What sort of creatures may have been produced using such techniques? Do we, as humans, have the right to play God?

There do seem to be a special few humans who indeed believe they are the ultimate creators. How far will we let them go in their plans and pretensions? We cannot expect our current leaders to save us, for they have supported this mess! It is time to stand up for ourselves--to no longer be used and manipulated--and make sure we are not destroyed by those who play God.

The following article contains all the current links to recent interviews given by Cynthia Marie Brewer: Who Owns Your DNA?

Freedom!

Something BIG shifted last night! I woke up this morning actually envisioning my bipolar daughter living independently from me, happy and productive! I have not been able to even consider such a possibility for years! It isn't that I thought it couldn't happen. I just had no hope. Today, suddenly, I do!

The oppression I have experienced seems to have vanished overnight. As it dawned on me that I could dream big dreams again, I understood there has been a major shift in energy! Light has finally begun to break through in this seemingly endless night!

The freedom I feel in the revelation honestly brings tears to my eyes! I have waited for this exact moment for so long! While I don't believe everything will just magically transform into perfection in an instant, I do believe it is now possible for the real changes to begin! Time to begin to build the world of our dreams--a world where we receive everything we need and are able to use our gifts and talents to benefit ourselves and the rest of the world! Freedom has finally come to this slave planet!!!

Ho'oponopono: The Power of Responsibility

Four simple steps:

• I'm sorry.
• Please forgive me.
• Thank you.
• I love you.

Ho'oponopono is a form of prayer which takes responsibility for what happens--even things you don't  rationally believe are in your power to control--in order to transform problems. I first heard about this prayer's power through stories of a Hawaiian doctor named Len Hew, who healed a whole ward of criminally insane patients through the power of this prayer. By using Ho'oponopono in my own life, I have made some very significant personal breakthroughs.

At this time in the world's history, chaos still reigns supreme. Our society--our whole way of life--is based on an intricate series of lies and myths that we have accepted as our reality! Ho'oponopono is one technique we can use to transform our world.

The power of Ho'oponopono lies in taking responsibility for everything that happens. Why does this have power, you ask? By taking responsibility, you let yourself seek out all those places inside where barriers have formed--barriers that keep you trapped in a limited reality. You allow yourself to see and acknowledge your own flaws--your own darkness. When you see and acknowledge your own darkness, it no longer has power over you, and you are transformed.

As we are all connected--all One, it is only through changing ourselves that the world is changed. Ho'oponopono prayer works because you embrace all that is and allow the chains of limitation to be broken!

Great Spirit,
I'm so sorry I have allowed lies and deceit to overcome the beauty of life on our planet! I'm sorry I have allowed truth to be hidden from myself and others! I am sorry I have not been willing to acknowledge my own personal darkness, playing the game of having to be right and light! Please forgive me! I believed that was how I should live my life, but no more! Forgive me for those times I have let myself play the game! Thank you for accepting me as I am, in strength and weakness! Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to learn and grow! I love you so much!

As we transform and heal ourselves, we transform and heal the world. This is the power of taking responsibility. This is the power of Ho'oponopono!

How To Defeat The Cabal

Everyone and their brother thinks to have a "plan" to defeat the cabal (aka the powers that be). They see the damage done to our planet and all of mankind by those in charge and understand the need for change. Still, with all the plans out there designed to combat the injustice, you have to wonder how any of the plans will ever work. They all seem so different and out of sync with each other. This plan sounds good, but how is X going to happen? That plan has some really good points, but how do you get to A, B, and C? Questions! Questions! Questions! And nobody seems to have a really good answer! The fact of the matter is, all those people who want to rid the world of injustice seem to think there is only one way to do so, and that is the problem!

You have to understand how the cabal works in order to defeat them. Only a few at the very top of the pyramid understand everything that is going on. Those closer to the top know most, but not all of the plan and it goes on from there. As you go on toward the lower levels of the structure, the people in the power structure know less and less. It's called compartmentalization, and most people only know the role they are to play. Why this works is because different cogs in the machine do not know enough about the operations of the others to do any serious damage to the organization as a whole. Plans to defeat the cabal usually arise from a few cogs who begin talking to other cogs whose jobs are close enough to theirs and begin to understand how some of the pieces actually fit together. The cabal has worked for thousands of years because of this complicated organizational structure.

Those of us who want to defeat the cabal think we have to come up with the correct plan to follow, and that has been our downfall. You see, in order to defeat the cabal, it is not about us all knowing everything that is in the works to defeat them. It is not our job to know everything! We only need to know the part we particularly play!!!

There is a plan, and it has been created by the One. Whether you believe the One is God, Source, universal intelligence or space aliens, understand there IS an intelligence that is coordinating all things unseen. We are not on top of the organization, nor do we need to be! The only thing we need to do to defeat the cabal is to do our own jobs!

How do we know what our jobs are? What are you passionate about? What work makes your heart sing? What exactly do you feel called to do? The key here is to follow your heart!!! It is not the wisdom of the mind that defeats the cabal. The understandings of the mind are extremely limited by the teachings we have encountered over time. The heart, however, is able to lock on to the wisdom and knowledge of the One. This is the difference between us and the cabal. The heart wins every time.

The defeat of the cabal is inevitable. You need only follow the guidance of your heart to know that the bigger plan is already in action! It is up to you to shine your own personal light within so that the work is accomplished!!! By following the guidance of the heart, the cabal will be defeated!
