One has to speculate on if the brand owners are aware or not.

In any case, the practice, no matter who is doing it, reflects bad karma back on to them, simply because they allow it, through knowledge or ignorance.

The next time you get spam, don’t get angry at the email address it came from or replys to, since that person has nothing at all to do with it and is just an innocent victim who can do nothing about it. If you must get angry, and you shouldnt, just send love and forgiveness back to the sender, if you really must get angry, get angry at the real sender who hides themselves because they know what they are doing is wrong.

What happens is not as important as how we react, for in our reaction lies the cause for future effect. In our reaction lies the lesson to be worked on and also the key to working on it. So any time something annoys or angers you, you are being presented with something that you need to work on.

We all manifest for others. Their highest wellbeing influences us to manifest that which points out what they need to work on. And they for us. Those who deny the lesson and continue a karmic cycle, find themselves repeating lessons, each time a little more difficult to deal with. Those that seek the path to serenity in all situations, accept the lesson with gratitude, and change themselves so that next time the situation comes, the reaction is closer to serenity.

As we walk our path, we discover those who walk the walk, those who talk the walk and those who talk the talk. The ones who talk the walk or who are no longer walking but just talking, tend to be stuck in what I call “preach mode”. They are so caught up in the wonder of what they experience and believe that they feel the need to teach it. However there is a fine line between teaching and preaching. No one likes to be told what they should be doing. No one likes to be told that this way is better than another way. When you preach, you upset those who do not want to be told. A lot of those who preach, get very argumentative when someone challenges what they put out, and some of them are very aggressive and even abusive about responding to what they perceive as criticism without merit. But such is karma and life lessons through highest wellbeing that both sides are manifesting what they need to walk their walk, and for those who talk it instead of walk it, this gets progressively worse until people outright tell them to go away.

We all feel the need to preach some time. Most of us move through “preach mode” fairly quickly as we walk the walk, and we learn to wait until people ask us, before we pass on what we recommend. The key is waiting to be asked. And this like other things, is a lesson a lot of us had to learn or are in the process of learning, or will one day learn.

Preaching takes many forms. I include in this anything worded in a way that “tells” people that something is “better”, anything that seeks to change a persons mind that wasnt asked for, anything that annoys instead of inspires. This ironically includes such things as affirmational quotes. A quote a day as an affirmation for the day, is sharing. A quote an hour is preaching the word of the quotee, even if the quotor is not aware of this. And sadly, many who preach are not yet aware that they do so.

What inspires one person annoys another. What annoys some can also inspire others. We all walk our own path. We all have our own lessons. As spiritual beings though, we need to be mindful of what we are putting out and its karmic effect on others. While manifesting lessons, we should not be manifesting karmic cycles as well. Hence, “moderation in all things”, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, “the spear in the others heart is the spear in thy own, you are he”, and “dont shoot the messenger”.

Forgive and move on. Most situations require nothing more. Forgive and move on.

Love and Light.

Huh ? What flood situation ?

The media have a great deal to answer for !

Earlier this year, sections of the Queensland coast were hit by major flooding. This included the Brisbane CBD area. The media made a huge deal out of it.

What they forgot to then tell everyone, was that most areas that did have flooding, were cleaned up within a week and that there was absolutely no danger to anyone. And except for a few days in very specific places, there was no interruption to services and tourist destinations. Did the media tell anyone ? No, they did not.

Result ? NO TOURISTS !

Especially on the Gold Coast, where we had the same rain as Brisbane, but suffered no flooding at all. Ever since, our tourist numbers are dramatically down. The Gold Coast is an hour drive south of Brisbane. Why it is assumed that flooding in Brisbane means the Gold Coast must also be underwater is totally beyond me.

The media gave the world the impression that large areas of Queensland had been flooded, where in fact, it was isolated small areas spread over some 2000 kms of coastline. Added to that, all of the affected areas were in known floodplains, all of which having a known cycle of flooding problems. That includes a housing development that was built on a floodplain with a 15 year cycle, which should never have been allowed to be built. The Brisbane CBD flooding was definitely unexpected, but the area was a floodplain originally, and they discovered that the protections put into place against flooding there were inadequate. One hopes the lesson is learned and this will be rectified. But the important thing is that the area was open for business again within a week, and no-one in the media bothered to tell the world that. Sure, some business’s took longer to recover, but overall, the affected tourist areas were up and running again within days. Yet months later, the world still thinks that we are still underwater.

The message for tourists considering Australia as a destination is this :

The Gold Coast is OPEN for business.

Queensland is OPEN for business.

The Gold Coast in particular and Queensland in general, are very safe places to come to.

Flooding is an issue at very specific times of the year for very specific places, usually during summer storms. Yes, sometimes it is a major issue for very very specific places. If it concerns you, do some research first. Everywhere in the world has a weather issue of some kind, do your research before going there ! The last flooding of the Gold Coast was about 5 years ago, and since then some very successful measures were put into place to prevent flooding of our canals. While Brisbane CBD was getting wet, none of the Gold Coast canals rose above their high water marks, showing just how successful all the work done was. Major kudos for those who proposed, and implemented the work.

Its now winter in Queensland, traditionally our dry time of the year, as we get most of our rain in summer storms. Its also our non-humid time of the year, where blue skies with nice pleasant temperatures predominate.

Its a great time to visit us now !

Tourists – where are you ? Your missing out !

There is a lot of channeling about saying the Earth is moving into 5d.

Well it cant, and still support 3d life. Those who push this just do not understand what it is they are getting.

Yes, there is a big move by some of the spiritual community to get 5d awareness, and this has been timed by a lot of them to 2012. But this is not the same as 5d existence. In the same way that ascending to 5d and remaining alive, is not a full ascension until you die. The key bit here is that to fully ascend to 5d (planet or person) involves dying.  If the planet does it, it will vanish from the solar system as if it never existed, and all life will die. It will still exist within 6d geometry and 5d awareness, but at the 3d level, it will simply be gone. It will then become available for 5d existence by those who choose it, but that does not involve physical bodies, so if you like things like sex and chocolate, your going to be missing out ! All 3d souls will be reincarnated onto another 3d planet.

This is so not happening, despite all the hype about it. In the main, this whole Earth moving to 5d thing is denial of own ascension work and the concept of the free ride. However, it does have its place and makes people think about it.

So anyone who is associating what is going on with the Earth at the moment with ascension to 5d, should not be. Whats going on now is all about the current position of the Earth in relation to where everything else is in the solar system (mainly the sun), and having said that, its nothing at all to do with planetary alignment either, which hasnt happened closely in several thousand years (last one was around 2000 and the closest it got was 30 degrees off, which is not at all aligned at all imo.). Some of it is to do with the sun itself and solar flare activity, and some is to do with the energy the Earth is passing through eminating from the center of the galaxy.

All in all, the only real difference now, from the past, is that the world has global communications now and a media in service to disaster junkies.

All this activity is normal within the cycles of the Earth as it travels through the cosmos. It cant be scientifically seen because the records dont go back far enough to see the pattern.

If something happens somewhere, something happens somewhere. We can engage our compassion, we can send healing energy to the earth, we can hold the intent to ease the necessary movement of the earth plates, but there is no point in hyping over any of it, since holding that energy will only bring worse events than is needed and normal through Law of Attraction.

I hate to say it, but all the communities of the world that are built in a place where the normal movement of the Earth plates makes them vulnerable to any event, are due at some time for something like we have seen in several places this year. But freewill is involved. People choose to live there (either by making a choice to go there, stay there, or to be born there), and the consequences of that choice are that at some time, a major event is likely to happen.

We are where we are meant to be. And if that is in the middle of a major event such as Tokyo or Christchurch just had, then that is where we are supposed to be.

And such events always involve ascension events, where individuals complete their tasks here and choose to die as they complete their ascension. And they always involve karma and lessons, and the opportunity for others to exercise their compassion.

This is just the cycle of life on a 3d planet. We live here. Sh*t happens. (as they say)

In particular, do you look at the reply-to address ?

You have ? How many times have you cursed the owner of that domain for sending you junk mail ?

Well, I hope you have not done that, because the one thing you can guarentee, is that the reply-to address has been highjacked, and the owner of the domain is innocent and knows nothing about it.

My own domain is regularly used in the reply-to address of spam. The latest example is a version of the Russian bride scam, where a lady with a Russian name invites you to her website. They use several common web addresses for my domain name, so I get notified whenever one of the email addresses they mail to doesnt exist.

There is of course nothing anyone can do about someone else using your address in spam email. Absolutely nothing you can do.

The thing is just to forgive and forget and hope that the people who are stupid enough to let themselves get scammed, blame the scammer and not the poor owner of the reply-to address, who is just as much a victim as they are.

And yes, the owner of the reply-to does get victimised, because their domain name gets added to the lists of people known to send spam, even though it isnt true. And the people doing this should know better !

I repeat what I’ve always said. 2012 will be a normal year, with its normal amount of disasters around the world.

There is a lot of fear surrounding the alignment of the planets (which literally means the planets are in a single line out from the sun at the same time).

The fact is, this has never actually happened, and is not likely to.

What does happen is that the planets happen to be within 30 degrees of variation and people think this is alignment, when it is nothing even close.

I found this for the ‘alignment’ back in 2000.

May 5, 2000, as seen from above the Sun’s North Pole. From bottom to top they are the Earth, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. The Moon, not shown, is near new, and as such, is aligned with the Sun.

As you can see from the diagram, there was a 30 degree variation to the “alignment”. While earth, sun, jupiter and saturn can be considered on a bent line, the rest of the planets are way off and never came close to a true alignment. And the outer planets were not even considered.

This was from http://www.etsu.edu/physics/etsuobs/starprty/22099dgl/planalign.htm

Quite an interesting page, if you can handle the math.

The maths to predict when the planets will line up is scary (rotation around the sun periods, rotation speeds, how circular to ecsentric is the orbit, etc), and there are many ways in which the line up can be considered. I did a bit of research and the closest the planets have ever come to lining up was nearly 4 thousand years ago with a 4.3 degree variance (meaning that if you plotted them and drew a line, it would be a wiggly line not a straight one.). A 9.3 degree variance is predicted for 2040. So even the “alignment” a few years ago wasnt even anywhere near a straight line, being as you can see, a 30 degree variance.

Another consideration is that the solar system is not on a flat 2 dimensional plane. The diagram above, assumes a 2d plane exists, and this is not the case. If you plot the planets 3 dimensionally, and then draw a disc to represent the mid-plane of the solar system, then the Earth is 7 degrees below this disc, where other planets are above it. So even if the planets align 2 dimensionally, getting a 3 dimensional alignment is practically impossible.

That brings up where the fear is coming from – 2d awareness. Because people are accustomed to looking at things on flat paper, or on flat screens, they cannot comprehend how celestial views really are. The solar system is a 3d celestial object. It isnt flat, the same way the planet isnt flat.  ;D

Those with 3d, 4d or higher awareness do not fear something which they know cannot actually occur in their lifetime.

My Dad got himself one, and I was so impressed, I got myself one 2 days later (somewhat surprised that they still had any). While Dad uses his as a tv, I’m using mine as a monitor, primarily for dvd’s and games.

Bauhn seem to be Aldi’s own brand, and a little surfing seemed to conclude that this was one of the “B” brands. The nearest to this was a Sanyo (also B brand) $100 more, and then the LG (A brand) another $100 again. But so far, I’ve found picture and sound to be more than adequate for my uses. The only thing it lacks is a tilt base for when I’m sitting close.

The only issue I’ve had with mine turned out to be easy fixed.

Whenever it had any signal going through it, either tv or from the computer, it had a hum to it that was loud enough to annoy, especially under dialog without music or noise backing.

A phone call to the support mob, 1300 886 649, got me emailed instructions on how to fix this.

Apparently on some of the tv’s, one of the factory settings is set wrong.

So,

• Turn on tv.
• Press SOURCE button. This pops up a menu. Ignore the menu, do the next step before the menu turns off.
• Type 2580 using the number buttons, and a service menu will pop up.
• BACKLIGHT should be highlighted, arrow to it if it is not.
• Arrow the number back to 9. (Mine was set on 23.)
• Exit.

You should now find that the hum is now gone.

I’ve seen a lot of posts for various tv’s in forums with this problem. I’ve never seen this documented regarding any of them.

So if you are suffering the same thing, try this same approach. If it doesnt work as described, ring the support people for your tv/place you bought it, and ask for instructions for checking/changing this. It might just save you an unnecessary service call or having to take it to a repairer when it doesnt need it.

http://aasariel.com/angelforums/

These forums are for 3 main purposes :

1. To expand the Angel Therapy Boards, which are private boards for those who do courses with Doreen Virtue Phd, to provide areas and topics not available at AT or limited to a single thread, to provide a substantially better promotion ability, and to allow for general chat by Angel Intuitive™ or ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER®’s unlimited by the strict rules within AT.

2. To allow all Angel Intuitive™ and ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER®’s to come together in a place that promotes their continual healing and development and promotes what they do as Lightworkers in the world community.  A place where they can express themselves in a way that is reachable by the whole world.

3. To allow any spiritual people to interact with Angel Intuitive™ or ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER®’s in a friendly, caring, safe environment. Being an AI or ATP® is not joining a hidden away club, as some believe. We are Lightworkers who work out in our local communities, and via the internet, the whole world, and we are available to anyone who needs us, and happy to chat to anyone who wants to understand who we are and what we do, and the courses that Doreen Virtue teaches.

Being AI or ATP® is not just about being taught by 1 person. All of us have other skills in Reiki, Healing of different kinds, Reading, Channeling, Counceling, etc. We do many and varied things including Spiritual travel tours, radio shows,  meditations and products of all kinds. We are numerous and diverse, and brought together into a community through Doreen Virtue’s courses.

The Angel Forums expand our ability to meet and act as a community, in public, with everyone.

These Angel Forums are for everyone on a spiritual path. If you need help. If you can offer help. If you just want to interact with other spiritual people.

Welcome

The Australian government regulates drugs coming into australia, and has specific requirements. Cafergot for Australia had to be specifically made for Australia, for specifications much higher than the rest of the world.

Novartis, the company making Cafergot, announced that Cafergot would no longer be available in Australia from Dec 31 2009. Supplies ran out early in November.

Novartis only had 1 machine in the whole multinational company capable of making the Australian version, and this machine died. They decided not to replace it.

So far, none of the pharmacy chains have been able to import the US or Malaysian versions.

It is left for individuals to order their own. I personally am going through a company which exports the US version at discount prices, making it about the same price as it was here after postage.

http://www.valuepharmaceuticals.com/Cafergot.php

If anyone wishes details, your welcome to contact me. Delivery time into Australia was 10 days instead of the stated 20, but time in customs and then Australia Post will add on to this.

Any order of Cafergot coming into Australia must include a copy of a current prescription. The above supplier allows for faxing and for pdf versions to be emailed. The emailed version worked for me.

I also recommend the following wording added with the prescription…”Cafergot is a mixed drug containing 100mg of caffeine with 1mg of Ergotamine Tartrate. It is no longer available for purchase in Australia. The TGA has specified that this does NOT require an import permit, only a prescription. Please refer to the TGA for confirmation.”

If your order of Cafergot gets stopped or seized by Customs, Keep Your Cool ! Australian Customs are trained in button pushing to provoke confrontation, and losing your temper will just make them happy.

Check to ensure the prescription was included in the order. If it wasnt your in trouble.

If it was, phone the TGA on 1800 020 653, explain your situation calmly and ask TGA to contact customs on your behalf.

Play it cool and be nice the whole way along, and it will work out for you.

If you didnt get a prescription included with the order, likely you will not get it. Chalk it up to experience, get a current prescription from your doctor and make very sure its included in your next order.

Blessings and welcome to IndigoWaytoGo.com

By Timothy aka circleofatlantis

The formation of this Indigo group and its resulting site was suggested by Doreen Virtue in October 2008 at her AATP course, after being raised originally at the ATP course earlier in the year.

There was a fair group of Indigos attending, and we came together as a group after aatp to see what could be done.

I stood up during aatp and offered to host the site, and am proud to do so.

There are many aims that different parts of the group wish to achieve with this site, and time will tell how it evolves and so do we.

This is a safe place for all Indigos of any age to come and interact with other Indigos. Its also a place where families and freinds/co-workers of Indigos can come to learn how to cope with us.

A big welcome to you.

“I would be so pissed off if …….. happened.”

In thinking about being pissed off, one gives a great deal of energy to what it is that would piss you off, and therefore through Law of Attraction, you actually make this more likely to happen to you.

Anything that annoys, angers, frustrates you, is something you have some sort of issue with, that needs your attention to release. It gives you that reaction specifically to highlight that you have an issue with it.

One would hope, that people high in the spiritual community would be dealing with their issues, but sadly, so many of them are so busy teaching and healing others, or working for the people doing the teaching and healing of others, that they actually do not do any work on themselves.

And so, they continue to allow themselves to get annoyed, angry, frustrated by things that happen around them, by the things said around them, and they are therefore putting out a lot of negative, often fear based energy that they do not need at all.

I aspire to the state of the Buddha, as taught by the buddhists who follow the teachings of Buddha Amitabha (without following their path).

That is, I aspire to be in a state of serenity in all situations.

I wish that all of those on the spiritual path could adopt this same aspiration, and actively work on themselves to achieve it, even while they do the work of helping others.

It is not enough to talk the talk. We who are teaching and healing others must actively walk the walk. That means we deal with our own issues at the time they arise, and constantly strive to improve our own energy to achieve a state of serenity in all situations.

I choose NOT to get pissed off about anything, and if I somehow do, I commit to dealing with that issue immediately so that I will subsequently not. I hope you will follow my example and choose not to as well.

The spiritual community are not immune, and in fact, are quite often the worst offenders.

One group I am involved with has recently highlighted this. There are two main ‘courses’ that members do, a main course and an advanced course. This year, the advanced course is followed immediately by a main course, and so many of the advanced members will be able to mix with new members who have not yet done a course.

New members of the group, committed to doing the first course, but not yet having done it, are “protected” from influence by older members of the group through strict rules. This is supposedly in the best interests of the new members, but is actually based on what the group organisers fear will hurt the new members.

Older members are only allowed non-tangible support of new members. This is supposedly to protect the new members from being overloaded by the information and healing that older members may be able to offer them, being in different modalities and thought patterns than the course itself, before they have done the initial course that brought them into the group. They are thus being protected from being overloaded, confused or taken in a direction the organisers would prefer they did not go, at least not now.

On the face of it, fair enough. Surely, some may be.

However, there are a number of assumptions going on here that should be questioned.

It is assumed that all new members are at the beginning of their healing path and as such will be overwealmed if exposed to too much too fast. This is not true. I for one was one who joined this group at the end of my main healing journey, not the beginning. I was already fully in my power, as were others. People join the group at all stages of their journey, and their needs are diverse, as are their reasons for joining the group.

It is assumed that until the course is done, other things the new members may be exposed to will not be good for them. Simple arrogance.

It is assumed that new members should not exercise their own free will to explore what older members know and do, before doing the course (they have already committed to) because of what may potentially happen to them. One should not usurp free will for any reason !

It is assumed that the course is the main reason for doing the course and joining the group. For most, maybe so. But for some, their reason for joining the group is to connect to some of the older members specifically for what they can offer, and to connect to future members when they appear, and the course itself is a mechanism for communication, not a necessary teaching they need.

It is assumed that individual guidance cannot be trusted because the course has not yet been done. Also arrogance that ignores the previous part of the individual’s journey.

It is assumed that karma and life lessons go on hold as soon as you commit to the course and join the group, that until the course is done, new members should be protected from any karmic or lesson events. Karma and Life lessons will manifest anyway. You cannot protect people from their own karma and lessons, and if these should manifest through older members of the group, so be it, that is as should be.

It is assumed that a new member does not need specific healing or guidance that an older member can offer before the course. In actual fact, many new members may be in need of healing and guidance before the course that will then allow them to get the most out of the course itself. They are guided to the mechanism that joins them with those they need to seek out before the course, for their benefit for the course.

It is assumed that the new member should not be exposed to a different way of thinking before the course, which seems to ignore that everyone thinks differently already, is coming from a different perspective and thought path, has different skills already that define their way of thinking, and that not all new members will in fact have their thinking altered by doing the course. Again, some new members may need the wisdom of alternate thought before the course in order to get the most out of the course.

In allowing assumptions to make policy, we usurp the free will of the new member to make their own choices.

In allowing assumptions to make policy, we usurp the guidance of the ArcAngels, Angels and Guides, that a new member follows.

In allowing assumptions to make policy, we allow lack of control and fear of uncontrollable events to usurp karma and life lessons of new members.

Ironically, this is all exactly the opposite of what this particular course is trying to teach. One also wonders if some adjenda is in play as well, and what fears this is based in.

Seek not to control others. Allow them to interact as they choose and to choose as they are guided.

Instead, be there to support them however such interactions manifest.

The Earth changes, has been now for 4.5 billion years and will continue to do so for another 4.5 billion years.

Earthquake in China. Cyclone in Burma, Volcano erupting somewhere, floods somewhere, drought somewhere, starvation somewhere, atrocities somewhere, people dying all over the place, car accidents all over the place, bush fires and house fires, drownings, shark attacks, stupidity of all sorts causing events……

This is a NORMAL year.

The only difference is people getting so caught up in the news distributed drama, that they forget this is a NORMAL year.

Next year there will be earthquakes, cyclones, hurricanes, volcanos, floods, drought, starvation, atrocities, you name it, it will happen somewhere. It also will be a NORMAL year. Same with one after and the one after and the one after and the one after and hey, 2012 past and we didnt notice it because it was a normal year !

Our individual energy is changing. Thats really all that matters. Go with your flow. Pay attention to YOU. Be serene in the face of the worlds obsessions and walk your walk as an example.

The earth will still be changing when we are all gone.

If you buy the “earth changes” and “the world ends in 2012″ publicity machines, you just contribute to the worlds obsessions.

Sure, our empathy means we care. But lets not get things out of proportion.

I AM CHANGING is my perspective. What the earth does is something else.

The energy of the world changes as it moves through the cosmos, and those of us on the spiritual path feel it differently to most because of our own energies being higher. But remember that if you fixate on the “world changing”, you bring it about, and what most people mean by this is not something we want to bring about.

Detach, be serene, help.

Yes. Good advise. Something worth commenting on.

With the rise of global communications has come the advent of “the disaster junkie”.

Since man first stood upright, he was content to see what was in direct line of sight, and what he didnt know about didnt hurt him.

But with the creation of global communications, suddenly everyone is obsessed with what everyone else is doing, who is doing what to whom, whos suffering (in nortious detail) where, and are so fixated on the negative things happening somewhere else, that they can no longer see the positive things in front of them.

I turned my tv off during an election campaign about 12-15 years ago and didnt turn it back on again. I dont watch the news, dont watch current affairs, I dont read newspapers, I dont listen to the radio. The world tells me what I need to know other ways. “Wasnt that earthquake in China terrible ?”, “What earthquake” ?

I have complete faith that everything happening in the world is right for here and now, and I do not need to know about it.

Obsession with disasters has its own effects. For 2 days over Sept 11, I sat in my shop, listening to the next door ABC shop loudly broadcasting a continously repeating 20 minutes of horrific disaster, so loud I couldnt block it out of my store. I didnt get any customers for 2 days, and afterwards, because people were terrified to go into a city center in case a plane fell on them for a long time after, I lost half my sales overnight as well, and within a few months had to close. How many other businesses suffered fatal wounds, not from a disaster but because of the worlds obsession with the disaster ? Well mine led me to breakdown and then spiritual healing, so it was planned and designed for me that way. But still, the effect happened. 1 event on the other side of the world caused massive changes to so many lives, not because it happened, but because everyone went disaster junkie and hyped out on the terror of it all.

The dreaded R word. lol “The recession we had to have” as one polititian here put it a while back. The world “thought” itself into the Great Depression (as its now called) and most of the economic problems existing today exist because the people in power are terrified of another depression. So they pursue what I call “flat line economics” to ensure that the bust part of the cycle never happens, but ignore the fact that it also prevents anyone having a boom part of the cycle. So everyone now lives right on the edge and it only takes a small push to move people into hardship situations because they never got the chance to put something aside for when it might happen. The feng shui cycles adequately demonstrate that everyone has bad years. When you prevent them from making use of the good years, you make the bad ones worse. 3% growth is NOT growth, its stagnation, but the powers that be are so terrified of more than a -3% situation that they wont allow us to grow faster. 10% inflation is NOT a problem with 10% growth, but -10% would send the worlds megacorporations bankrupt over night. And thats what apparently matters. Its all fear based. The irony about the Great Depression is that in terms of money, while most people have the impression it all disappeared, the reality was that those who lost everything on the stock market had already given their money to someone else in exchange for a bit of paper that proved to be worth nothing later on. The amount of money didnt change, but the perceptions of people did. They became afraid of spending it, and because people didnt spend it, ecomomic activity slowed and people lost their jobs. Then they didnt have it to spend, and the rich ones who did have it were too scared of losing it to spend it, and so things got worse. In the end, governments changed and started spending money and things got back to normal. Trouble was, after the depression, the money was mainly spent on the military and fear of someone else sent the world to war.

When enough people fear, the world changes in a way we would prefer it didnt.

The News is the perpetuation of fear.

Turn it OFF !

When the world ends, I dont want to know. I might watch the movie if it has a happy ending, but probably not.

Over the last couple of years and becoming more and more frequent, the term ‘New Matrix’ is being used in the spiritual community for new ways of doing things.

They are all about changing the way people think so that Law of Attraction will bring them what they truely want.

But the more I see these, and listen and read how people expound on them, the more concerned I’ve been getting about them. This finally came into focus yesterday after reading the justification for a previous post about one such ‘new matrix’ concept.

Dont get me wrong, I’m all for changing the way people think so that they concentrate on what they want, instead of what they dont have and what upsets them. This is important work. As long as its “follow my example” and not “do as I say” presented !

However…..

There are 2 things that are always in play to hold people back from walking their spiritual and healing path.

The first is the Ego. It continually tells us that the quick and easy path is there to take. That you dont need to do things the long slow way, but you can do it in one easy affirmation. That the past doesn’t matter, because you are manifesting the future. Why spend a lot of time doing the hard work, when hey, its actually easy to do in one go.

The second is the group of beings who work to hold the Earth and those on it in a state of stasis. Their aim is to prevent the Earth from ascending, keep people in a state of ‘organised’ chaos and revelling in the excesses of the 3d state of being.

This group uses the Ego to do their work through. And human nature being what it is, anything that seems an easier way to do things is seized apon.

Karma is Cause and Effect. Each thought, word and deed causes an effect. Each effect has a cause, even if you cant see what it was. Effects carry forward with the soul as it reincarnates accross space, time and dimension.

What happens to you now, is the result of what you thought, said and did in the past.

Law of Attraction is what you think will be what happens. So if you want something to happen in the future, you need to create it with your thoughts now.

So in a way, Law of Attraction is part of karma. But its only the part that is concerned with creating the future.

It tells you nothing about the now.

Many people believe that manifesting the future just requires affirmations of what you want, a positive mindset that concentrates on what you want and ignores what you dont like about now. And so it does, but only up to a point.

To understand the NOW, you need to look back for what created it. If you do not like your ‘now’, then understanding why it has come to you is important to understanding how to change it.

What is NOW, came about because you made choices. And the NOW is bound by the choices you MADE. The choices you make now will be what brings the future, but how long this takes, and what form it can happen in, depend on the NOW and the choices you make to get there. But the choices you make now start with the current situation and if that situation does not support the new choice, then it cannot manifest as you wish.

Karma is ongoing. It never ends.

Law of Attraction will help you into the future, but many people need to undo the past.

And this is where Ego and the Ones who block, sabotage people’s healing path by giving them good reasons for taking the simple easy path.

Its very easy to see this happening. In forums all the time you get people making constant affirmations about what they want in the future and how wonderful it is to be manifesting what they want, and yet these same people are also demonstrating by their constant requests for support that nothing is actually happening, or what is happening is very slow to happen.

Why is this ? They are ignoring the WORK.

Each person is born with a life contract to do certain work, walk a certain path, and may have a spiritual purpose that involves helping others. The work one must do is contained in lessons and is manifested according to karma. Even helping others may be a manifestation of ones own work needed for one’s own path.

I keep telling people the importance of walking the walk.

Way to many spiritual ‘teachers’ stand on a virtual soapbox in some forum or other and preach their message. This is talking the talk. Talking doesn’t actually take you anywhere. Its a form of “do as I say, because I think you should” and is a very Indigo trait, which is not surprising considering so many of the spiritual ‘teachers’ now are Indigo.

Walking the walk is different. Its actually walking your spiritual path, continually working on yourself as you help others, continually doing your own WORK. This includes releasing karma from past lives, forgiveness of individuals and situations, affirming love for all beings, especially the ones you dont like.

Talk doesn’t require MOVEMENT. Walking does.

Helping other people alone, is not walking your path. Its sitting on a rock helping people.

Walking the walk is being an example to people of how to do things. Your not telling them anything, your just walking past inviting them to follow if they feel guided, and then imparting knowledge and method when asked for help or clarification of what it is your doing.

Walking your path means following your life contract and doing the things you agreed to do before birth. You have freewill and freewill can choose timing and how and where to address lessons, and this is the exercise of choice.

Each choice you made led you to where you are now. The now is bound by the choices already made. To change the now, you must first change the choices.

The ‘New Matrix’ would have you believe that simply changing the choice is all you need. In affirming a changed choice, so will it be. (Dig hole in sand, insert head here).

“You are the architect of your own imprisonment.” (Raymond E. Feist). Your choices had effects and the now you are stuck in is the result of those choices. To get unstuck, you need to change the choices AND change the effects.

I see this in feng shui consultations all the time. People choose a house that manifests the lessons and karma they need to work on. But until they have learnt the lesson and released the karma involved, they will not be able to manifest anything different. Only after they have finished the reasons for the choice, will they be allowed to make the changes they need to manifest something better. In many cases, they need to move house first. And the difficulty of doing that is often specified within the feng shui of where they want to leave.

If the “New Matrix” works for you, follow it.

But if it doesn’t work as advertised, then you need to look at what your life contract is asking you to do and instead of getting on the transport device and teleporting from A to Z in an instant (and how disappointing it is when it doesn’t engage), put on your walking shoes and walk the walk, doing your work while you walk.

I’m not asking you to accept “this is the way its always been done”, because I dont accept it myself. I’m saying that “nothing beats good old fashioned hard work” and our spritual healing journey is no exception.

The choice is yours.

Year of the RAT.
6-2-08 to 25-1-09

Annual Afflictions.
Serious Loss Affliction (5 Yellows) : South
Zodiac Affliction (Grand Duke) : North 2 (Due north and 7.5 degrees each side)
Argument Affliction (3 Killings) : South.

Extra Elements for the year
Water and Earth.

5 Yellows in the Bedroom can bring serious illness of a kind that you are pre-disposed to. If you get really sick then you should sleep in a different room, and avoid sleeping in the south of a room. When in the kitchen it can bring general sickness, but the average kitchen nowadays is well cured. When in the front door, the 5 yellows brings sickness and financial loss to the whole house. The cure is metal, so lots of white and natural metal in the South room, and in the south of a room. Also silver and metallic gold. The best form of cure is metal 6 hollow rod windchimes. Hang small ones inside, and in the case of the front door, a large one outside. However, we do not want noise from them, they should hang silently.

Grand Duke in the North means do not face north this year. Think old style Japanese Shogun, where if you look him in the face, a guard chops your head off. Facing the Grand Duke invites his wrath, and chaos follows. Making noise in that sector also does this. Effects can vary a lot, but things getting broken or stopping working is common. The Grand Duke seems to act as a Karma manifestor. Those born in the Year of the Horse automatically “face” the Grand Duke this year and it tends to be a year of “karma in the face” for a lot of people. The worse your overall karma, the more chaotic this year will be. The cure is a Pi Yao, or celestial protector, but if your karma is bad, nothing can really protect you. For those born year of the Horse, its a year of confrontation designed to let you see where you need to change your thoughts into something that causes less effects.

3 Killings in the South reacts to noise and activity and brings arguments. Do not turn your back on the 3 killings. This is good this year since you should not face north. Cures for the arguments of this year are crystals in the south, or a large area of still water.

Things to do :

Move your bed so its not in the south sector of the room.

If you sleep in the south room of the house, and cannot change rooms, then bring lots of metal into the room, particular in the south corner. If you get sick, add more metal. If you still stay sick, contact me !

Hang 6 metal rod windchimes in south sectors.

If the front door is in the south, hang a 6 metal rod windchime to one side of the door inside, and a large 6 metal rod windchime outside as close to in line with the center of the door as you can (such as hanging from the gutter or pergolla).

Shift chairs so you do not face due north.

Re-aline any bed facing due north. (The direction the crown of your head points as you sleep).

This is the practice of compiling lists of where spam comes from and then using these lists to block any email coming from the same place.

There are sites out there who’s sole function is to gather spam originators and compile lists so that ISP’s can subscribe to the list and use it to block spam with.

Well, thats the theory. Nice idea.

But what a Nightmare, what total madness its become.

In practice, spammers are very good at faking headers on emails. They use any reply-to address they can get away with so that complaints never gets back to them. They fake other parts of the header information to disquise where they are sending from. And as far as I can see, they can also fake the origin IP address of the spam as well.

So, where is the madness ?

The spam lists are being compiled 2 ways. By direct complaint. And by email checking programs that look for “spam like behaviour” in emails. The trouble is, spam is clever enough to emulate normal email, and so the programs really cant tell the difference.

You may not even know that a good percent of your email is not getting to you ! Unless you are expecting it, and it doesn’t arrive, you wont know.

Emails that come from common software like forums, blogs and shoppingcarts are routinely blocked from getting to the person who requested the emails on the basis that it is spam. No-one asks, no-one checks, they are doing you a public service that I for one, would rather they stopped doing !

If you use a Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo email address, I can guarentee your not getting a lot of your email. These 3 sites in particular appear to be rabid about spam, and at the same time wouldn’t know spam if it bit them on the leg, and don’t care that a high proportion of what they block is actually genuine email that was requested by the addressee.

Many forums (mine included), to prevent junk postings, require that you validate your email address by clicking on a link that you receive in a registration email from the forum software. But if you do not receive the email because a spamblocker refuses to deliver it to you, you cannot ever log in. Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo members must get pretty frustrated in being locked out of so many forums, blogs and shoppingcarts simply because of the email address they use and the spam policy of its hosts. I dont know why anyone bothers using them anymore, as to my mind, they are sabotaging their own members by preventing genuine email from being recieved, and as such, why would anyone wish to use them ?

Why do invoices from shoppingcarts get routinely spamblocked ? This is total madness ! What sort of spam sends people a genuine invoice for something they just genuinely purchased ?

Sadly, this spamblocking madness is widespread.

The number of sites that I get bounced forum and shoppingcart emails back from is growing rapidly.

I’ve also noticed that some forums I have requested notifications of postings from, never seem to send me any. I suspect that spamblockers on the flow lines that email travels along to get to your ISP are intercepting and blocking my genuine emails, without my knowledge or permission.

Who asked ISP’s to be the guardians of email ?

Who gave them the right to stop an email I have requested to be sent from getting to me ?

What madness is this that people and organisations I have never heard of take it apon themselves to block my genuine email from getting to me and justify it as a public service ?

I’m actually amazed that someone in the US hasnt taken all the organisations that spamblock to court to get an injunction to stop this practice. It is after all, stealing our email. If the post office didnt deliver a letter because its return address was someone they didnt think should be sending me a letter, they would be sued really quickly. Why hasnt it happened with email ?

Let me just say, I do not approve of spam. Its a damn nuisance. But…..its a fact of life on the internet. If you display an email address on the net anywhere in order to be contactable, it will attract email you didnt want. Fact of life. Deal with it.

I personally enjoy deleting most spam. Its become a daily ritual. Do I want…..No thanks, bugger off ! Would I like to……No thanks, I’m quite happy as I am. Do I want to look like this bozo ? Are you mad, of course I dont !

Sometimes, genuinely useful spam comes in. Sometimes someone has actually sent me something I want to know about.

What gives anyone the right to censor my emails without my permission ?

Ok, so spam is a problem. But trampling over my right to recieve my email is NOT an acceptable answer.

I say ban spamblocking at the ISP level and lets find a better way of dealing with the problem.

Afterthought : Why hasn’t someone written a web spider/robot that trawls through the net looking for spam evidence, like hacked files recoded to send out spam or phish schemes ? Or a run yourself program that searches your domain for evidence of being hacked for spam or phish purposes ? Its known what to look for, so why isn’t there any way ordinary domain owners can check to ensure they are not unknowingly sending out spam ? Why isnt there a program that ISP’s can run that hourly check all files on their servers for evidence of spam and phish activity ? Pretty obvious need, why dont we have the products ?

St. Theresa’s Prayer:May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.. May you be content knowing you are a child of God…. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.In case anyone is not aware, Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little Ways. Meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and with great love. She is also the patron Saint of flower growers and florists. She is represented by roses. May everyone who receives this message be blessed.

Note : This came in an email today. I have chosen to break its chain mail nature by removing the chain part of the message, failing to email it on, but instead honouring the message itself by posting it for everyone who is attracted to it to read. We do not need to be email robots to receive a blessing and we do not need to pass it on a set number of times to receive a reward we can manifest anytime we wish to anyway.

Such messages as this should be shared how we feel is the most appropriate for us and those we feel will benefit from it.

I’ve had the thought pop in to just send the information out to the cosmos through this forum a few times now.

So here they are. My ideas for Spiritual TV shows and Movies.

Since the document is pretty long, I’ve put it on a webpage so it doesnt use space here, and only those who want to read them can link through to my ideas.

http://circleofatlantis.com/tvmovie.html

One of the things I’ve been manifesting for years is to work as a creative consultant on Spiritual TV and Movies. I’m still waiting for the opportunity to connect with the right people.

So here I am, releasing all my best ideas to the cosmos and giving them to the Divine and the Angels to use as they feel is appropriate.

In early January, I was reading a forum as I normally do each day, and the thought popped in that there are so many Lightworkers out there who have written books and self published them or released them as ebooks, and like me, are having difficulty in getting them noticed by enough people to get many sales. This was followed by the realisation of other products as well, artwork, sprays, cards, jewellery, and then services as well, such as card readings, photo and aura readings, workshops and courses, and even spiritual themed travel groups. Also, many people do not have any facility to accept credit cards but have clients and customers who prefer to use them.

So much is out there, and so hard to find and be found !

The idea then popped in to start a shoppingcart site where they could all be listed in one place. And where the combined advertising of all would bring more people to everyone’s products and services.

I started a thread about the idea and got a lot of positive support and a lot of feedback. I went off and researched shoppingcarts and discussed what I found.

I’m now ready to create a Spiritual based Shopping Mall.

I have found a shoppingcart system that allows each member of the site to have their own virtual store, do their own product maintenance, have their own individual tax and shipping requirements, and most importantly, be paid directly into their own individual paypal accounts. Customers will see a single mall of products, be able to search on categories, search by member, see members websites, add any product from any member to their shopping cart, and on checkout, the sale is broken down so each member receives a copy of the invoice and an individual payment.

Mall membership starts at US$50 a year to list up to 5 products or services. This reflects that many Lightworkers only have a few products or services to list, and attempts to keep membership costs down. For those with more products or services, there is a sliding scale of membership fees, and also a commission based option.

For further details, Membership fees, and a list of potential product/service categories, please see http://circleofatlantis.com/mallmember.html

I need the support of between 10 and 16 people to get this started.

The mall will be set up under my exisiting Circle of Atlantis website. I will be buying a commercial Mall shoppingcart system with custom modifications. It will take about 3 weeks after ordering for the modifications to be made and the Mall installed, then I anticipate another week for me to set up defaults and customise the look and feel of the Mall.

I need at least 10 people who are prepared to pay now, in advance of the mall going live, in order to justify purchasing the software. 16 people in advance will cover the full cost and allow me to pay by paypal in US$ instead of using my credit card.

I have been guided to seek support to do this in advance, rather than going ahead and doing it by myself. It makes sense to get support first. 10 to 16 members and 30-50 products when the mall opens makes it look much more viable to customers than 1 member and a handful of products. And 10-16 people doing their own advertising from day 1 will bring in many more people to looksee than 1 person will.

Are you interested in joining me in this exciting venture ?

If so thankyou Click on the link above for further details and the procedure for membership.

Do you know someone who might be interested ?

Please send this on to anyone you think might be interested. Please email it out to your own email lists. Help to spread the word any way you feel is appropriate. Thankyou !

Well finally I am doing something about my own Blog. Welcome to it !

Bare with me as I work this all out, and get some thoughts in order for posting here.
