A childlike sense of return to our innocence and ability to be our authentic selves is a precious gift of SOURCE. Like the song from South Pacific clearly states, "you've got to be taught to hate and fear; It's got to be drummed in your dear little ears, you've got to be carefully taught..."
Un-learning is such a relief! Thank you my friends, my mirrors. CN

Expansion of my dream posted earlier :-)

The new financial frontier: Where money as we have known it no longer exists, but, money hasn’t ever been real and for over 45 years the “gold standard” created by men evaporated into the operational world of traders/trading a commodity that no longer backed the paper and coins we traded, we moved to portable plastic. Was money ever real? Heishe beads, glass beads, blankets, and pearls are more real than the plastic we use today globally! A return to the bartering system is already obviously in place when you trade on EBay, Craig’s list, etc.

A re-visit this morning to Utopia and the Communist Manifesto encourage me to research more through the thousands of authors and philosophers and once again ask-how can we as a society have come so far-yet continue to repeat the same societal choices that inevitably lead to a necessary revolt?
Call it re-birth, call in evolution, name it whatever term defines it for you in a less aggressive manner. Regardless of what name you draw comfort from, the “beware” of the truth keeps seeping up around the edges of reality and a revolution is in process.

"Labour (the proletariat or workers) includes anyone who earns their livelihood by selling their labor power and being paid a wage or salary for their labor time. They have little choice but to work for capital, since they typically have no independent way to survive.
Capital (the bourgeoisie or capitalists) includes anyone who gets their income not from labor as much as from the surplus value they appropriate from the workers who create wealth. The income of the capitalists, therefore, is based on their exploitation of the workers (proletariat)."

Money-a convenient governmental (religious) created form of recognized transportable exchange for goods and services produced through control and manipulation of population through creating a desire for more goods, services and production; a method of control of the mass population to encourage acts of labor; services; and increased production.cn


"Outside the lines" of internet expansion/expression: I love to take a fountain pen in hand and write. It feels good. It smells good. I love the creative shape of each letter and each word as they flow from my mind to my hand to my pen and paint a form of communication on a piece of paper-magic! The grace of shapes and depth of meaning-just by sharing thought, motion, ink, and paper.

Like the calligraphy I once wrote with in such flourish, the handwritten form of communication is vanishing into the ease of the computer. Spelling is no longer a necessary educational tool because the computer will correctly spell for us. The once cherished use of vocabulary, the words and meanings learned and used in speech-the way Didier speaks are no longer a part of our language.

I will hold fast my ancient forms of communication because they bring me pleasure and open other parts of my mind when using them. But, I must face a choice in joining the exploding age of techno language and tools of communication.

We will soon find that the tree huggers are winning as the use of paper decreases and the trees are once again allowed to flourish. (I won’t go in to the ripple effects of new places for the displaced critters and the out of work lumber jacks and the economic cries this will unfold!) We no longer read the news in paper form. The internet provides a global picture and current information faster than even the prejudiced televised minute to minute updates.

The instant invasion of communication via a blackberry or old fashioned cell phone is daunting to me. The expanded vehicles of communication on utube; websites; Blogs; face pages; links, etc are truly mind boggling. I rejoice for Jeff’s glee when he instantly sends a dolphin through the ethers and we are able to share in his joy of not only the dolphin, but the ability to instantly send the photo moment to us. He is in his element and the much needed way shower for those of us who need a little encouragement to take the leap of techno. Faith and add to our arsenal of communication skills and instruments of transmitting.

In a small hand held instrument Brenda enjoys her vast music collection; a game of simple drawing; a Zen photo that brings an immediate sense of peace; and she can call anyone or send to anyone a photo; written thought; and a prayer.

Why is Atlantis finally being discovered? Again, I turn to the vast writings of history and shake my head in simple awe ….

Releasing Spirit from social/cultural perceptions:
The ultimate mystery left for man to discover: As the story goes God gathered the Arch Angels and asked each determine the best hiding place for the precious gift of Love that he was giving to humans. The ocean depths were vetoed because God knew man would one day devise a way to reach the oceans secrets. The highest mountain top was also not suitable as man would one day stand at the highest peak. The Angels were unable to fathom a hiding place that man would not be able to discover. God in infinite wisdom hid Love within each human spirit. The last place man or woman would seek to find it.

In the movie Cocoon when the human forms are unzipped and shrugged aside, all of the Spirits have a subtle identity, but are one in the same as visual beings. The release of their energy is a shared moment of orgasmic delight. It is their deep felt emotional connection to one another and those they have come to retrieve that define their culture, their society, their truth. Passion, compassion, and unconditional love of one another and the immeasurable gift that each Being is to the whole of their world.

Religion is basically a group of people with like minded beliefs. The common held interactions develop into an agreed cooperative order. Based on the environment a clan or tribe of people will define what skills and talents each brings to the tribe. Thus a priority of tasks and actions are either assigned or agreed to by the tribe. A common goal of survival is the core purpose of the tribe. Fear in many tribes creates the mythical “blame” for an outcome affecting the tribe. Greed and other natural environmental or other tribe’s actions will cause a ripple effect of far reaching magnitude. cn

SOURCE is not struggling for the immediate human survival needs. Each tribe member has in daily life our own means of financial support. SOURCE has the luxury of time and mental brilliance to think, ponder and research. We each know what we believe and are birthing “how”, exploring “the road not taken”, perhaps carving out a totally new path that once well worn will become the new highway to infinity. Or could it be that collectively we are at last “seeing” what has always been surrounding us but our vision was opaque and now is becoming as clear as the crystals we all know are guides for us? Are we finally hearing the celestial sounds of communication; becoming a quiver of the strings of Life force in harmony as we vibrate as SOURCE?

A greater gift is our sense of sacredness in daring to be open and vulnerable. I leave each encounter with a vast amount of mind blowing excitement. I seek my slumber to explore the immense treasure of information shared between us on a Friday evening. As if in meditation I bask in replaying the messages Wendy hears and speaks to us; her joy in admitting to her own untapped talents; Brenda’s excitement and grace in her expanding openness to also be a channel of communication from those that are with us as Universal Spirit of Beings. Her acknowledging the message to deliver to Vhan to disclose the action he needs to consider in opening the portal of the next dimension for a child’s soul to soar free. Vhan, gentle, passionate, antediluvian in Shaman mysteries of Light that invite the ancient ones to gather with us in the visions they impart through him. Lee exploring her renewed awareness of Mother Earth, the plants, trees, seeds, dirt and yes, the rocks and gems that are each a part of us. Didier in his world travels, depth of observation and eloquent articulation of the global quests he has experienced and his passion. David with his silent strength and encompassing awareness of the healing power of the SOURCE conversations; Jeff in his delight and energy to share the moments he captures and paints a vivid picture for us to experience the dash through a high-rise building with Brenda at the wheel or a unique photo of a galactic pine cone; a dolphin; and an elephant of majestic mystery. Noreen with her innate rapport of stone language and the ability to communicate their personalities with us expanding our consciousness, wisdom and appreciation of the power of mutual support in the evolution of ALL-because we are ONE.

This to me is Spirit releasing from social, tribal, religious entrapment. This to me is emerging into ONE. This to me is freedom to meld into the nothingness of SOURCE and be whole, complete in transparency. This to me is most sacred.


Mother Nature-a travel plan to visit Her unlimited world of grandeur: SOURCE loves to travel!
The Grand Canyon is 4 hours away…a day trip!
Bryce Canyon is three hours away…a day trip!
Sedona is 5 hours away…and overnight trip! Get my drift?
I will have many hours to sleep once this physical body is finally abused enough through moccasin trampling walks through Nature with Noreen and Vhan, and each of you!
A rafting trip down the Colorado; bungee jumping into a deep mountain pass; floating in the deep blue sea of the Pacific; laying in a field of spring flowers in Oregon; sitting under the moon howling with the coyotes; climbing up to Manchupichu and sitting in the silence to hear the Spirits speak; these are just a few of the many travel plans I am inviting SOURCE to enjoy with me. An occasional spa day will just be an added treasureJ


Daily sightings of "God Winks"-poems; sonnets; photos-oh, right, we already have this SOURCE:
Like a child I am fascinated with the intangible aspects of SOURCE. There is a deep sense of satisfaction within me that does not demand instant gratification. I savor the lack of organization, yet crave old habits of agendas and action points learned in my business life.
I free-fall each Friday into the unknown. I am refreshed and renewed, filled with the Soul invigorating light of SOURCE Mindedness.
The tapestry of Life Light lines is weaving an intricate web rather like a Native American dream catcher of SOURCE design.
Heightened awareness of the moment to moment signs of SOURCE pulsing through me, as me, around me cause me to pause and say prayers of gratitude throughout my day and into my dreams.

Abraham speaks of returning to the Vortex to maintain the exhilarating sense of Oneness, Wholeness, and GOD knowledge that my Life is perfect, blessed, and graced with abundance.

As I wrote this lengthy stream of thoughts, I held each of YOU in my mind’s eye. YOU are the most precious of gifts. I carry each of YOU within me and find a most humble state of grace and peace. YOU are my keys to the Vortex. My cherished Beloveds, my Friends, my Tribe, my SOURCE of LOVE, and GOD winks for my discovery within, and smiles.

Namaste’

Take to the Mountains!

2/19/09 I woke up approximately 3:30 am. I tried to stay with the dream and get back to it. I felt that it was extremely important but Luca was tossing and turning and coughing and I lost the connection. I had the strong urge to write what I remembered down. I fought with myself to not get out of bed becasue I was so warm and toasty. I love sleep! Negotiating with myself that I would remember it int he morning and maybe even remember more...but I knew better.

Here goes...the dream woke me up. It woke me and I found it disturbing and a bit scary but I also felt in control. I felt this dream was a glimpse into the future. A warning for me/us. I do not remember a lot of the detail and I hope that it will return or that I will be given the chance to revisit this dream or this place for greater awareness.

The bits I remember are that I was told to take to the mountains. It felt that it was in Nevada perhaps Red Rock. I looked into the sky at one point and I saw many sky vehicles as if fleeing. These were not UFO’s but personal transportation devices that looked like they were for one to 2 people and the they flew fairly low in the sky not like a plane. They were for humans and the driver was standing. So, this was in the future at some time. It felt like people were getting out of town fast.

I felt like I was being told to prepare. Learn how to live off the land was the message. Do my gardening and save seeds. Learn about the healing qualities of the stones and crystals.

I was in a building which reminded me of a Visitors Center and attached to a large parking lot. I was inside the building and I was secretly shown something that I don’t remember now but it scared me enough to promptly get out of there and attempt to head home.

Then there was another part of the dream where I was at someone’s home – people I do not recognize but I knew them in the dream a bit but not freinds. There was no one else that I recognized there. There was a young man who died that I knew briefly. Early 20's I would say. His sister and uncle were there and it was Christmas time because there was a tree in the living room where we were sitting. We were all there for the purpose of reaching him and apparently I was the connection. I asked him (his spirit) to come forward and he did straight from the Christmas tree as if he was part of the tree and then took his human form.

The family did not seem shocked and was very comfortable with him coming back there in the living room with us. I was eager to ask him about the future. The rest of the family were speaking with him and they were enjoying seeing him again but the questioning was not important. I was growing anxious as I knew I had something important to ask him. It was my turn.

I asked him about the future and the depth in which there would be turmoil. I asked him how much time we had or how long would it last. What I remember that he told me was that the timeframe was 3 – 10 years.

I woke up.

Architecture for Humanity

Good morning, Source Network! I had an interesting dream just now that I needed to convey. I dreamt that there is a new building under construction. I recognized this building and it is currently under construction. It is more than just a building; it is a tuner/amplifier/receiver, bringing specific energy to earth. The owner did not request this and is unaware of the secondary use. The architect may not even be consciously aware of why he/she was led to design certain unorthodox things. There are likewise other buildings around earth - old and new - with similar purposes.

I asked why...and the answer that came was "this is for the next phase." I asked how we can identify other buildings of this nature and the answer was "the shape of key eyelements."

The overall feeling of this dream was very good; the message was almost perfunctory, and was not surprising to me in the dream.

Crystal Dream

Last week I woke up and had a knowing – have you experienced that? It wasn’t the usual “message” from the right lower area by my shoulder but more of a knowing. Maybe it was a dream that I had but I woke up last Thursday knowing I had to get a particular crystal that was waiting for me.

GREAT, I said sarcastically. How am I going to explain this one to Didier? Finances are already tight, necessities are being cut left and right and now I want to get a “frivolous rock”. So, I say to myself – “I can’t…Didier will freak out”. I hear…go on Craig’s List. “You are kidding me”, I say aloud. No, I’m not.

Of course I am laughing and go straight to Craig’s List and do a search and there it is. An entry from that morning – there was only one in the category – from a lady in Henderson selling crystals. The picture of the one that she showed did nothing for me but the ad said that there were others.

Now, I must talk to Didier and explain this without sounding nuts. After a bit and not in his most supportive manner he tells me to do what I need to do. I had $50 in my wallet from a return of an iron that my mother gave me for Christmas and I said – okay, if this crystal is meant for me then it will be within the amount I have in my wallet.

I call the woman and set up a meeting with her for that afternoon. I arrived with anticipation like I was taking home a new puppy but did not want to get too excited in case my sense was off. The woman was very nice and showed me to the table with her collection of crystals she had acquired over years. The first one I was drawn to was a gorgeous “museum quality” aqua marine for $800+. Lovely, but no not the one.

I sat down and asked the stone to present itself to me instead of me grabbing and looking at the price stickers of all of them. Among approximately a dozen or so varied size and quality crystals was a crystal calling me. I picked it up and in an instant I knew she found her home. It was a fairly large Lapis and beautifully shaped. I held my breath to turn it over and looked at the price. Yup, $50!

I then asked the woman for a Crystal Bible to get more information on the stone and as I read I started to tear because it was the stone I needed to get me to the next level in my spiritual awakening. She has been home with me a week now and we are bonding very well. I have cleansed, charged and programmed her to my needs and direction.


An excerpt from Love Is In The Earth

Lapis Lazuli is a stone said to have existed since before “time was born”, assisting one in gaining admission to the domain of the unknown mysteries of the sacred texts and esoteric ideas and enhancing the wisdom to understand the information. It further allows one to gain access to, and to explore, the esoteric planetary knowledge.

Hopeful Spaces

These are the words with which I reached out to Lee all those years ago - how lucky I am that she heard:

Looking out across a macadam sea
Distant islands in a salad bowl of greens
Visions, naked of any landscapes
Dreams of passion, of union anticipates.
Waiting, suspended in rhyme
Resonance eternal, accomplices across time.

Wave after wave against open arms
Fertile in the presence of love unrelinquished.
And yet, silence to our solicited encounter
Calling between all those hopeful spaces.

At last, two hearts matured for love
Filled with the desire of wisdom's transform,
Deeply felt, beyond the reach of words,
To share the compliment amid pregnant exchanges.

Now I am reminded that you are here
A radiant sunset on tomorrow's horizon.
Look back sweet Aphrodite
Such mischief in your smile,
Reach out with the love I intuit behind your eyes.
My heart races forth - amorous dualities unbound.

Thank you Lee for being who you are - my true love, my truest friend, my truest you.

A Thousand Eyes

The night has a thousand eyes,

And the day but one;

Yet the light of the bright world dies

With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,

And the heart but one;

Yet the light of a whole life dies

When love is done.

Beauty Tips

Audrey Hepburn wrote this when she was asked to share her “beauty tips.”
These insightful words were read at her funeral many years later:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed;
Never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands.

One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

From someone who obviously lived close to the source.

Law of Attraction-

I wanted a recorder for my iPhone. I have been to iTunes and did not find one to my liking. I abandoned this desire to allow the Universe to manage it while I attended to my happiness. My friend CN sent me an email about a company website that she wanted me to view and experience. On this website was a tab for iPhone applications that this company http://www.peerium.com/ produces. So, I now have a recorder on my iPhone and Peerium will more than likely be a part of my life due to the nature of their business. The Law of Attraction is remarkable. -Jef

Alignment with Source

"Those moments in your life when you feel absolute exhilaration are moments of complete alignment with the Source within you. Those moments when you feel powerful attraction to an idea, or keen interest, are also moments of complete alignment. In fact, the better you feel, the more in alignment you are with your Source - with who-you-really-are. This alignment with your Broader Perspective will not only allow you faster achievement of the big things that you want in life - like wonderful relationships, satisfying careers, and the resources to do the things you really want to do - but this conscious alignment will enhance every moment of your day. As you tune yourself to the perspective of your Inner Being, your days will be filled with wonderful moments of clarity, satisfaction and love. And that is truly the way you intended to live while here in this wonderful place, this wonderful time, and this wonderful body."

Imaginal Cells

I first learned of Imaginal Cells from Deepak Chopra. Have you heard of them? The Reader's Digest Version: They are the cells in a caterpillar that appear out of nowhere that end up creating the change to a beautiful butterfly; a completely different creature. At first the cells are considered an enemy and are destroyed by the other cells.

Some people are now equating them to the human metamorphosis going on within our own consciousness and our collective consciousness. Here is a writing regarding imaginal cells that I thought might interest you. The piece is entitled, "Becoming the Butterfly - Determining your Unique Purpose within the Global Shift."

The Attunement Ceremony

First I want to thank all eight of you for taking time out of your day to be a part of my first level attunement in the art of Reiki. Extra special thanks to my Reiki master Vhan!!

This was a lovely ceremony. The way the house smelled and the music supplied by all of you. The energy the nine of us produce when we are together is truly amazing to me.

This ceremony took place on Feb. 9, 2009. A very strong day in numerology, it was also a full moon and a lunar eclipse, which we were unable to see from our location. This is one of the main reasons Vhan picked this day for my attunement.

Vhan and Noreen arrived early and started to set up and get in line with the Angels and Spirits. Vhan told us the spirits were singing prior to any of us arriving. Noreen spread some rocks around to make a grid to help keep the flow of energy in the circle.

To start the ceremony Vhan said a Reiki prayer, then the group each took turns reading from Indian prayer cards. I just loved how the order of us reading the cards fell into place, it was perfect! Vhan then mixed some herbs and also added the things that each person brought; it was an excellent concoction and just smelled awesome when burned. As Vhan was mixing the herbs, he asked if there were any Reiki questions. There were a couple of questions and he answered them.

At this point it was decided that Noreen would get re-attuned, she is at her second level Reiki attunement at this point in time. Before this started, four drums and a rain stick were passed out. As Vhan started the attunement for Noreen the most beautiful music started coming from the instruments. When Noreen was done it was my turn.

At first Vhan requested that no instruments be played, he put another batch of herbs on the burner, and we were ready to go. As the ceremony progressed I could really feel the energy flowing from Vhan into me. After a short while he said it would be OK to start playing the music again. The music played and Wendy started humming almost like a chant. She did not even realize she was doing this at the time. Again things fell into place just as they were supposed to.

When my attunement was done Vhan said he received a message that each person in the room needed to get some energy from Source. The music started up again and Vhan went to each person one at a time, he had burning herbs in hand. He spent some time with each person, letting the energy flow through him into each of us.
For me this was a wonderful experience. I will write again in a couple of days, as I will have some more time to process. Also, the energy is still making its way through my Chakras.

I love you all very much!!

David

My Mom

I don't know the purpose of this post. Perhaps I just need to speak. Perhaps someone needs to hear this. Perhaps I just miss her.

My Mom transitioned July 13, 2005. I thought that I would handle this event better than I did. I thought that spiritually I would totally grasp the body/spirit issue. I did not.

Oh, at first, I thought that I was going to be all right. I thought that I had it sorted out, and would be fine. I was not.

She was not ill, so it came as a surprise as she was only 78 years old. But does this ever come as a surprise? I had been preparing myself for this for a few years....as each one of her birthdays came and went, I was so thankful that she was still here.

Tonight an inconsequential event occurred and my first thought was: I am calling Mom. After three and a half years I still have those nano seconds when I believe I can still do this. I can not.

But the wonderful news is...I do still feel her, hear her, feel her love surrounding me. And though I cannot actually pick up the phone, or feel her physical arms around me....I feel that soul, that maternal being. And I still tell her things, tell her that I love her, sing to her. I do not believe that she is gone, in fact at times, she feels closer than ever. I know it.

Valentines Day is approaching, and my thoughts turn to love. Unconditional love. She loved me beyond measure. "To the sky and back" she used to tell me. I love her.

I know she loves me still.

Thank you Mom. To the sky and back.

Time Traveler

A few years back, I attended a conference in Shanghai, China. Jeff stayed behind to run the business, so I was on my own. I have traveled extensively before, but not this distance by myself. I flew: Las Vegas to LA, LA to Tokyo, Tokyo to Shanghai. It was quite something...due to the flight times, the 16 hour time difference and the fact that we were crossing the International Date Line; I missed the entire day of 7/7/07. It simply didn't exist in my experience. It was as though I was suspended in time and space – in the ethers. I got much pleasure from this feeling.

On the plane, I found myself very introspective; listening to music, meditating, napping, reading - with the sun coming up and going down and coming up and going down. I experienced two sunrises while on the plane. I was a time traveler.

My experience in Shanghai was just as magical. I stayed in a beautiful hotel on the 67th floor; my cocoon in the clouds…literally. It was rainy and very dark clouds for most of my stay. July at home, in Las Vegas, was already sunny for 15 hours per day and 110 degrees. What a welcome change this was. Shanghai itself was consistent with the time traveler, “other-worldly”, energy that I was experiencing on the plane. Every morning, I sipped an aromatic jasmine tea from a china tea cup. I found myself very emotional – truly thankful for such an experience in my lifetime. I have such a love – no that is an understatement – a passion for traveling and experiencing other cultures.

I strolled through the tiny hotel gift shop for something Asian that might have meaning to me. Scanning through the silk scarves and tourist trinkets, I see a wall full of bookmarks with names, like “John” and “Cindy” written in Chinese lettering. The one that screamed out at me at eye level is “Calvin” (my last name)! I asked the woman working at the counter if they had any other “Calvin” bookmarks. She searched both on the wall and in the back. No, there were no other bookmarks with the name “Calvin”. She said that she had never seen this bookmark before. Of course, I bought it. I believe that this and the time traveler, “other-worldly” feeling were signs that I am on track – in alignment – with Source. Deepak Chopra would call this a synchronistic event – a conspiracy of improbability. I call the feeling, Bliss. Brenda

Commune with Source

I found a website, http://www.shiftinaction.com/ that has many interesting aspects. Please enjoy the "experience" of one of the Commune Rooms: GaiaStar Room. http://www.shiftinaction.com/node/2609. It is a series of fabulous Mandalas - concentric diagrams having spiritual and ritual significance in both Buddhism and Hinduism - which can be used in meditation. These mandalas were created by artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd and are entitled, "The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World." I love this blending of spirituality, art and music. Please give me feedback.

The Spiritual Meaning of Numbers

I was intrigued by Vhan's comments last night regarding numerology and went online to look further. I found an interesting website http://www.whats-your-sign.com/spiritual-meaning-of-numbers.html which has so much information.

Here is an excerpt regarding the numbers we discussed:

The spiritual meaning of number eleven is quite diverse.

The number 11 is thought of as a "master" number in numerology because it is a double digit of the same number. When this occurs - the vibrational frequency of the prime number doubles in power. Meaning, the attributes of the Number One are doubled.

Therefore, the very basic and primary understanding of the Number One is that of new beginnings and purity. When we see this digit doubled as with the 11 - then these attributes double in strength.
In numerology the number 11 represents:
· Higher ideals
· Invention
· Refinement
· Congruency
· Balance
· Fulfillment
· Vision

One: One primarily deals with strong will, positivity, pure energy. The number One reflects new beginnings, and purity. The symbolic meaning of number One is further clarified when we understand One represents both kinds of action: physical and mental. This combined with Ones urgency for new beginnings, we begin to see Ones recurring in our lives indicates a time to exert our natural forces, take action, and start a new venture. One encourages us our action will be rewarded in kind.

Two: The symbolic meaning of number Two is kindness, balance, tact, equalization, and duality. The number Two reflects a quiet power of judgment, and the need for planning. Two beckons us to choose. The spiritual meaning of number Two also deals with exchanges made with others, partnerships (both in harmony and rivalry), and communication. Two urges us out of our indecision, calls us to unite with like-minds, and like-ideals. Two asks us to exert our natural flow of judgment to do what is best for our souls.

Very appropriate I think.

With love,

Lee

The Lords Prayer - As Jesus Wrote It

I was born and raised Catholic and the Lord's Prayer was very much a part of my praying ritual. Actually, it was the only prayer with the Hail Mary that I did all my life until my late 20's when I realized the best form of prayer for me was conversation. A friend recently introduced me to what is known as the "the original version" of the prayer that she found in a book and shared it with me. My how different the two prayers are from each other. This prayer is so beautiful it gives me chills when I read it.

I would love to hear from anyone who wants to share their thoughts on this prayer and their prayer practices.

Namaste',
Lee

My Spirit


My Spirit you are Omnipotent

Your name is holy

May your kingdom be incarnate in me

May your power reveal itself within me

On Earth and in the Heavens

Give me today my daily bread and

Thus let me recognize my sins, and

I shall recognize the truth

Do not lead me into temptation and confusion

But deliver me from error

For yours is the kingdom within me, and

The power and knowledge forever

One Minute Shift

I love this idea of a series of "One Minute Shifts". The video is quick enough for someone to view while at work... yet it is quality "source information" that keeps one centered! I've sent this to some of you already, but it is so good, it's worth another look!!! Enjoy!

Crystal Necklace Story

About a year ago I purchased a necklace from For Mystic Minds. One of my favorite metaphysical shops. I coveted this necklace for weeks and discussed it with the owner Cheryl over and over again. I tried it on many times and caressed it as I felt it was calling to me. Literally calling! It was a Clear Quartz center stone with a specially designed cut called "Flower of Life" (provides the wearer with the energetic experince of being held within a soft protective field of loving energy and subtle support) with a top Moldavite stone. I finally broke down and bought it.

As a side note, I adore rocks, stones and crystals and for years would collect them from the ground along with seashells and pine cones during walks. Strange quirk of mine. Early last year I found myself very attracted to crystals and stones in a more metaphysical manner. I found this new world of crystals for healing and meditation and fell in love.

So, back to the necklace. When I bought the it, Cheryl strongly warned me that it was going to be "too intense for you at first". "You will find yourself unable to concentrate, losing your keys that are in your hand and emotional turmoil. I heeded her warning and wore my necklace proudly out the door.

I came home and read up on the stones. Clear Quartz: It helps create balance. Energizing and healing. Helps each of us find our own inner light. The Moldavite was the stone that Cheryl was warning me about. It said on the box that it opens energy centers and clears blocks and helps in meditation. Seems harmless enough.

When I coincidentally found myself with issues every time I was wearing the necklace, I realized I could only wear it for hours at a time. It was uncanny that I would find myself in some upheaval every time I wore it.

Over the months, I purchased other crystal pendants and stones including a beautiful wrapped clear quartz point for healing. Well, I packed all my beloved jewelry for our summer vacation to France and off we went. Multiple bags in tow!

Then as most of you know a lot of things happened to me starting upon my trip back from our vacation. My luggage was stolen with all my favorite items, my business was faltering, I got very ill, I had an "experience" that I was calling a "death fantasy" or later was told it was an "exit experience" and then woke up with my face paralyzed from Bells Palsy while Didier was on a meditation retreat and I could not speak to him. I had months of issues to work through and I finally got through a lot of them and physically felt my vibration elevating and my bliss barometer was rising.

A wonderful thing happened and as I was starting to get back into my spiritual reading and meditating, I found that necklace around the neck of our statue of Buddha and started wearing it right around Christmas. As more and more positive things started happening for us, I was releasing more and more stresses in my life. I have been wearing the necklace almost daily since January and it feels wonderful.

I could guess that I am now vibrating at a higher frequency and that is in more alignment with the stones. I thought of the necklace today and how I have been feeling and connecting vividly to my dreams. So, I searched the Net on the meaning of the stones to refresh my memory. Here is what it said...

All quartz crystals have 6 primary properties. They are able to structure, store, amplify, focus, transmit and transform energy, which includes matter, thought, emotion and information.

Moldavites are among the most powerful gemstone tools for spiritual development and expansion of consciousness. They seem to engender an acceleration of one's inner growth and evolution. Hundreds of times people have described to us the rapid transformation of their lives which has come soon after they acquired Moldavite.

One thing I do notice is that the meaning of "time" is in my consciousness a lot lately. I cannot grasp when things happened in the past even more than usual. Months and weeks all go together. Time seems to be moving faster and sometimes seems suspended. It feels weird but not scary at all.

Thank you Source!

Transformation

It's been a prolific day for our blog! How exciting! I ran across this amazing video about Trans-formation. It does such a great job of describing its purpose that no further explanation is appropriate other than I believe that we, Source Network, are a part of what is described near the end of the video as "Spreading the Light."

FRACTALS

"The Mandelbrot set - someone has called it the thumbprint of God - is one of the most beautiful and remarkable discoveries in the entire history of mathematics. With Arthur C. Clarke as narrator and interviews with a number of notable mathematicians, including Bonoit, Mandelbrot, this program graphically illustrates how simple formulas can lead to complicated results: it explains the set, what it means, its internal consistency, and the revolution in thought resulting from its discovery. Asked if the real universe goes on forever, Steven Hawking defines its limit of smallness; the Mandelbrot set, on the other hand, may go on forever."

Enjoy!

Interactive Site

I was letting my fingers do the walking through the Net while doing some research on the meaning of "time" and came upon this site..."by accident".

It is amazing on so many levels. Check out the planetarium navigation, fractal and the dandelion among others.

Take some time and look at the shorts on the television. The television navigation is the first of its kind that I have seen. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Like we discussed, this is where it is all going. I am so excited by this site, I am giddy!

Zeitgeist The Movie

This is an eye opening and exciting movie and movement. It takes about 2 hours to watch but once you start it is difficult to stop. Great history lesson too.
