Johnny Cash and Tuning In
E G#7
On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again
F#m
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
A B7 E
And I can't wait to get on the road again
E G#7
On the road again, goin' places that I've never been
F#m
Seein' things that I may never see again,
A B7 E
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
I had been thinking of Johnny all morning after that, and later in the afternoon when I got home, I turned on the computer again and found his face staring back at me from the homepage of AOL. They had changed their screen while I was gone. I was really curious what the message was so had to go check it out.
This was the headlines......
50 Most Awesomely Dead Rock Stars
For many musicians, death is not a final reckoning - it's the best career move they ever made. So which immortal souls are raising the most hell in 2006? From Joey Ramone to Notorious B.I.G. to Johnny Cash, the dearly departed are just dying to get on Blender's first annual corpsetastic list, brought to life by AOL Music. Commune with your favorite music martyrs by blasting their drop-dead jams and O.D.ing on the choicest tidbits of their legacy. Not even Tupac's coroner had this much info to work with.
Here's to you Johnny.....I just did a plug so keep those tunes coming in. I must have turned the dial of my frequency and found the right station this morning - sometimes that happens. :-)
(I'm looking at the words "For many musicians - death is not a final reckoning - it's the best career move they ever make. The universe is music, we are notes and transition just means we get to play and compose more tunes.)
When I typed the blurb to myself and sent it in email back to myself as sometimes I do, I noticed I sent it at 1:11 and it was #111 in my email box. For those who notice triple numbers - they often are little codes to pay attention to.
One description of 111 is:
111: Energy flow * Enhancing whatever level you are presently in *

Reflections
I was asked to visit a friend's mother today who is close to passing. It was about 8 years ago when this friend's mother came in for a Reiki session. She was delightful and oh so full of spirit. Her walk on this earth plane one could tell was of total connection to all of nature and the cosmos. She was an avid stone and rock collector and part of the session we ended up sitting on the floor and we talked about stones (she was 80 at the time). I then gave her a green stone heart shaped pendant to wear. Her daughter told me today that she always wore it, and I saw it hanging from the lampshade that was next to her bed. Seeing this again today brought a few tears to the surface as it was next to her grandchildren's picture - so I figured it must have meant something very meaningful to her.
Her energy was very clear and her crown chakra wide open. I believe her transition will go very smoothly. The house was filled with incredibly light energy - not dark heavy dense energy as the family is very well prepared and is comfortable with the death experience.
There were a few funny moments when the hospice nurse arrived with a foam pad to lay over the existing mattress. It was almost comical as we tried to move Katherine, and all I could think of was she was probably hoping to exit soon, if she had to undergo one more roller coaster move like it took to change the pads and sheets. She came awake for a few seconds while I was there, grasped tightly my hand, and tried to speak. I kissed her on the forhead and told her I would see her in my dreams. This was a day I will never forget, and I feel so blessed to have had the experience of being with her.
I sat and talked then to her 91 year old husband who is still very alert as he told me many stories and jokes. The stories, the history, all the collectables I observed in this house, was filled with so much love.
In class during the attunement process yesterday, one of my students asked if I also put my hands on her shoulders and head while I was attuning the student next to her -I said no, but I felt your brother who had passed years ago was close by.
Life continues to unfold....one petal at a time.

Buddha Bear Wear - Social Consciousness Clothing Line
All I can say is GO BUDDHA BEAR.......my energy sessions usually include some form of a bear showing up.....sometimes Yogi or Smokey........now I may just have to wear the Buddha logo! I CAN HANDLE THAT!
http://www.buddhabearwear.com/
(Here is the email from the owner (Vin) ..........it has all the scoop...)
I have created a new t-shirt and apparel line called Buddha Bear Wear. But it is actually much more than just an apparel line. It is an experiment in social consciousness and responsibility. It is an opportunity to see if a company can be profitable and successful while focusing, not only on profits, but just as important, on making a positive impact on the community, the environment and the world - as well as being as sustainable and Earth friendly as possible. It also may mean a profit for you. What do I mean? Well, read on…
First, in regard to our business and products, it means quality and no sweatshops. All our shirts are high quality and made in the USA. Very simply, if we won’t wear it, we won’t sell it.
Second, Buddha Bear Wear will give 10% of its profits charitable organizations. Our motto is, “A portion of our profits goes to the stewardship of the Earth, its inhabitants, big and small, and the children who one day will inherit it all.”
Third, we are on a never ending quest to make our products as Earth Friendly and in as sustainable a way as possible. Our hope is as we grow bigger and bigger our footprint will be smaller and smaller.
So how can you get involved?
First, you can go to our website and check out our selection. Let me know what you think. So far the response to our apparel has been overwhelmingly positive and exciting. And as an incentive to try one of our quality products, from now until the end of February, we have a grand opening discount on everything! So go to www.buddhabearwear.com and choose your favorite.
Second, we are currently looking for good organizations and charities to which we can give our contributions. So let us know if you have a favorite organization or charity for us to check out and maybe add to our list. Our only qualifications are that it must be a legitimate non-profit organization. It must have a record of helping the environment, wildlife or under-privileged children. And the more the money goes to helping and not to administration the better.
Third, if you have a retail establishment and would be interested in stocking Buddha Bear Wear, let me know. I would love to talk to you about the possibilities. Also if you have a website and would like to link to Buddha Bear that would be fantastic too. We are working on developing the technology to have an affiliate program but we do not have it as of this moment.
Finally, if you know anyone who owns or purchases for a retail establishment, you can be a Buddha Bear Ambassador and make a profit at the same time! Simply have them email me at vin@buddhabearwear.com or give me their contact information and I will contact them. If they decide to stock Buddha Bear, you will get 10% of anything they purchase for one year! That’s right 10% for an entire year! The average commission for professionals in this kind of opportunity is only 6%. And all you have to do is refer me to them or them to me. No hard selling or anything like that. Very simply, if I get the referral from you, you get the 10%.
So spread the word. The Buddha Bear has arrived!!!
Thank you,
Vin

Heart to Heart - Love Thoughts
What Do We Mean by Love?
ctimings@shamanicastrology.com
Love isn’t kind acts or gifts wrapped with a bow on top –although love may lead you to do these things.
Love means tearing down the separateness and the boundaries between your heart feelings and another person.
Love is just a feeling of togetherness an openness in your heart.
Actually, when you love someone it means that he or she is putting you in touch with a part of you that you love in yourself.

The Rules for Being Human
THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life on planet earth. Every person or incident you encounter is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation . "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."
4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it.
5. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state.
6. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."
7. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
8. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas: you do the painting.
9. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightly determines what energies, experiences and people you attract--therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have.
10. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help -- judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
11. Your answers lie inside you. At first we need guidance from others, but as we mature we learn to trust our hearts, where Laws of Spirit are written.
13. You forgot all of this.
14. You can remember any time you wish.

Whale Rescue - A Story of Blessing
If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle today--Thu, Dec 15, 2005 -- you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by 100s of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She had 100s of yards of line (rope) wrapped around her body - her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her - a very dangerous proposition; One slap of the tail could kill a few rescuers. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around - she thanked them... some say it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

Undoing Mass Mind Control
As an energy therapist and having worked with many individuals with their healing process, ultimately it is a change in consciousness of a higher vibration that is the key to their health of body, mind and spirit.
This articles describes how we have been manipulated and dumbed down, and it certainly gives us something to think about. As we listen to what is taking place right now all around us, I think you will have to agree, it will take thinking "Outside of the Box" that will help you to uncover your own truth and lead to the "Ultimate Freedom of the Soul". To push through fears and many of them unknown, is the great challenge. The more we awaken to our own inner personal power, the ability to see and thus choose and act from a higher level becomes easier.
Mass Mind Control Through Network Television
Are Your Thoughts Your Own?
By Alex Ansary
Outside The Box
From: http://www.alexansary.blogspot.com
12-29-5
Why do countless American people go along with the War on Iraq? Why do so many people call for a police state control grid? A major component to a full understanding of why this kind of governmental and corporate corruption is to discover the modern science of mind control and social engineering. It's baffling to merely glance at the stacks of documentation that this world government isn't being constructed for the greater good of humanity. Although there are a growing number of people waking up the reality of our growing transparent soft cage, there seems to be just enough citizens who are choosing to remain asleep. Worse yet, there are even those who were at least partially awake at one time but found it necessary to return to the slumber of dreamland.
This is no accident; this is a carefully crafted design. The drive to dumb down the populations of planet earth is a classic art that existed before the United States did. One component to understanding and deciphering the systems of control is to become a student of the magicians of influence and propaganda. In order to defeat our enemies (or dictators), its imperative that we understand how they think and what they believe in.
When people think about mind control, they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to Project MkUltra. This program is a proven example of 'overt mind control.' The project had grown out of an earlier secret program, known as Bluebird that was officially formed to counter Soviet advances in brainwashing. In reality the CIA had other objectives. An earlier aim was to study methods 'through which control of an individual may be attained'. The emphasis of experimentation was 'narco-hypnosis', the blending of mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming.
A crack CIA team was formed that could travel, at a moments notice, to anywhere in the world. Their task was to test the new interrogation techniques, and ensure that victims would not remember being interrogated and programmed. All manner of narcotics, from marijuana to LSD, heroin and sodium pentathol (the so called 'truth drug') were regularly used.
Despite poor initial results, CIA-sponsored mind control program flourished. On 13 April 1953, the super-secret project MK-ULTRA was born. Its scope was broader than ever before, and only those in the top echelon of the CIA were privy to it. Official CIA documents describe MK-ULTRA as an 'umbrella project' with 149 'sub-projects'. Many of these sub-projects dealt with testing illegal drugs for potential field use. Others dealt with electronics. One explored the possibility of activating 'the human organism by remote control'. Throughout, it remained a major goal to brainwash individuals to become couriers and spies without their knowledge.
When it was formed in 1947, the CIA was forbidden to have any domestic police or internal security powers. In short, it was authorized only to operate 'overseas'. From the very start MK-ULTRA staff broke this Congressional stipulation and began testing on unwitting American citizens.
Precisely how extensive illegal testing became will never be known. Richard Helms, CIA Director and chief architect of the program, ordered the destruction of all MK-ULTRA records shortly before leaving office in 1973. Despite these precautions some documents were misfiled and came to light in the late 1970's. They laid bare the spy agency's cynicism. Despite the widespread knowledge of MK Ultra and the civil lawsuits that followed, this form of behavior modification is not the most expansive. The real dangers are the types of thought control that are 'covert' and not the subject of several dozen Hollywood movies like "Clockwork Orange" and Mel Gibson's "Conspiracy Theory."
Our founding fathers faced enormous challenges in the formation of this country and its bill of rights. One challenge was laying down the groundwork or a free society without knowing what kind of technological advances would be made. Who would have guessed in those times that we needed an article in the bill of rights that specifically prohibits the government and it's associates from engaged in mind control or thought control. The closest item that promises our protection from the government is the 4th Article in The Bill of Rights which states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Like many are now beginning to note, the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights are merely given lip service by our supposedly elected officials.
One of the most common examples of mind control in our so-called free and civilized society is the advent and usage of the television set. This isn't to say that all things on TV are geared towards brainwashing you. They're not. But most of the programming on television today is run and programming by the largest media corporations that have interests in defense contracts, such as Westinghouse (CBS), and General Electric (NBC). This makes perfect sense when you see how slanted and warped the news is today. Examining the conflicts of interest is merely glancing at the issue, although to understand the multiple ways that lies become truth, we need to examine the techniques of brain washing that the networks are employing.
Radio isn't any different in its ability to brainwash a population into submission. Sixty-seven years ago, six million Americans became unwitting subjects in an experiment in psychological warfare. It was the night before Halloween, 1938. At 8 p.m. CST, the Mercury Radio on the Air began broadcasting Orson Welles' radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds. As is now well known, the story was presented as if it were breaking news, with bulletins so realistic that an estimated one million people believed the world was actually under attack by Martians. Of that number, thousands succumbed to outright panic, not waiting to hear Welles' explanation at the end of the program that it had all been a Halloween prank, but fleeing into the night to escape the alien invaders.
According to researcher Mack White ( http://www.mackwhite.com), "Psychologist Hadley Cantril conducted a study of the effects of the broadcast and published his findings in a book, The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic. This study explored the power of broadcast media, particularly as it relates to the suggestibility of human beings under the influence of fear. Cantril was affiliated with Princeton University's Radio Research Project, which was funded in 1937 by the Rockefeller Foundation. Also affiliated with the Project was Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member and Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) executive Frank Stanton, whose network had broadcast the program. Stanton would later go on to head the news division of CBS, and in time would become president of the network, as well as chairman of the board of the RAND Corporation, the influential think tank which has done groundbreaking research on, among other things, mass brainwashing. Two years later, with Rockefeller Foundation money, Cantril established the Office of Public Opinion Research (OPOR), also at Princeton. Among the studies conducted by the OPOR was an analysis of the effectiveness of "psycho-political operations" (propaganda, in plain English) of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Then, during World War II, Cantril and Rockefeller money assisted CFR member and CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow in setting up the Princeton Listening Center, the purpose of which was to study Nazi radio propaganda with the object of applying Nazi techniques to OSS propaganda. Out of this project came a new government agency, the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service (FBIS). The FBIS eventually became the United States Information Agency (USIA), which is the propaganda arm of the National Security Council. Thus, by the end of the 1940s, the basic research had been done and the propaganda apparatus of the national security state had been set up--just in time for the Dawn of Television."
Experiments conducted by researcher Herbert Krugman reveal that when a person watches television, brain activity switches from the left to the right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is the seat of logical thought. Here, information is broken down into its component parts and critically analyzed. The right brain, however, treats incoming data uncritically, processing information in wholes, leading to emotional, rather than logical responses. The shift from left to right brain activity also causes the release of endorphins, the body's own natural opiates--thus, it is possible to become physically addicted to watching television, a hypothesis borne out by numerous studies which have shown that very few people are able to kick the television habit. It's no longer an overstatement to note that the youth today that are raised and taught through network television are intellectually dead by their early teens.
The dumbing down of humanity is represented by another shift which occurs in the brain when we watch television. Activity in the higher brain regions (such as the neo-cortex) is diminished, while activity in the lower brain regions (such as the limbic system) increases. The latter, commonly referred to as the reptile brain, is associated with more primitive mental functions, such as the "fight or flight" response. The reptile brain is unable to distinguish between reality and the simulated reality of television. To the reptile brain, if it looks real, it is real. Thus, though we know on a conscious level it is "only a film," on a conscious level we do not--the heart beats faster, for instance, while we watch a suspenseful scene. Similarly, we know the commercial is trying to manipulate us, but on an unconscious level the commercial nonetheless succeeds in, say, making us feel inadequate until we buy whatever thing is being advertised--and the effect is all the more powerful because it is unconscious, operating on the deepest level of human response. The reptile brain makes it possible for us to survive as biological beings, but it also leaves us vulnerable to the manipulations of television programmers. This is where the manipulators use our own emotions as strings to control us. The distortions and directions we are being moved to are taking place in the subconscious, often undetected.
Propaganda techniques were first codified and applied in a scientific manner by journalist Walter Lippman and psychologist Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) early in the 20th century. During World War I, Lippman and Bernays were hired by then United States President, Woodrow Wilson, to participate in the Creel Commission, the mission of which was to sway popular opinion in favor of entering the war, on the side of Britain. Edward Bernays said in his 1928 book Propaganda that, "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."
The Creel Commission provided themes for speeches by "four-minute men" at public functions, and also encouraged censorship of the American press. The Commission was so unpopular that after the war, Congress closed it down without providing funding to organize and archive its papers. The war propaganda campaign of Lippman and Bernays produced within six months such an intense anti-German hysteria as to permanently impress American business (and Adolf Hitler, among others) with the potential of large-scale propaganda to control public opinion. Bernays coined the terms "group mind" and "engineering consent", important concepts in practical propaganda work. The current public relations industry is a direct outgrowth of Lippman's and Bernays' work and is still used extensively by the United States government. For the first half of the 20th century Betrays and Lip man ran a very successful public relations firm. World War II saw continued use of propaganda as a weapon of war, both by Hitler's propagandist Joseph Gobbles and the British Political Warfare Executive, as well as the United States Office of War Information.
Turn on your local newscast. You have a few minutes of blue-collar crime, hardly any white collar crime, a few minutes of sports, misc. chit chat, random political jibber-jabber, and a look at the weather that no one is forecasting correctly. Is that what happened in your town? And we're supposed to own the airwaves! The mainstream media openly supports the interests of the prison industrial complex. The stories focus on minority criminal groups, and exploit the real threat to appear much more dangerous than they are. Think about the growing per capita number of prisoners in the country. Then remember that this is happening at the same time that our prison boom began. The police on our streets have created criminals. The focus is to keep us in a state of fear, that way the elitists can attack any group they want to without fear of consequence. This is why the media is continuing to craft the timeless art of dehumanization.
The techniques are increasing in their sophistication over time as the mind scientists that serve the empire continue to discover scientific breakthroughs as to how the human brain functions, learns, retains information, and behaves. The most effective brainwashing techniques are used on the most successful propaganda networks. Examine the music bed that lies low during the fright night scope of the second. It's spooky. I wonder if we are supposed to be thinking with our minds or getting ready for stunt. Observe the graphics with the music. They're glitzy and flashing. Like the monkey that is attracted to shiny objects, it's our monkey hand that controls to remote often stops the search for entertainment when the proper amount of glamour catches their attention. Most importantly, notice the repetition behind the lies that the politicians and their corporate media groupies tell us. You see, the unimaginable fallacies are created as 'truth' not because it's logical or provable, but because of the broken record technique. No matter how ridiculous the lie, it's repeated often enough that the brain doesn't know the difference between reality and nursery rhymes. This technique is under estimated in its ability to allow the puppeteers to hypnotize millions of people. Instead of "Fair and balanced" it's "We say it enough times, and you believe it."
It's a tragic day when the state can monopolize on the enslaving and imprisonment of a population. Hollywood will continue to frighten us with films on the mafia, gangsters, and the corrupt blue collar criminal whose stupidity and greed get them caught. In the end, our minds are already pre conditioned to accept living in a police state economy and society because we read it in the paper, saw it praised on the news and talk shows, or saw it in a movie. There are several movies planned right now that support the official story of 911 and a few movies that glamorize the War on IRAQ. According to David L Robb, Author of Operation Hollywood, "Hollywood and the Pentagon have a long history of making movies together. It's a tradition that stretches back to the early days of silent films, and extends right up until the present day. It's been a collaboration that works well for both sides. Hollywood producers get what they want - access to billions of dollars worth of military hardware and equipment - tanks, jet fighters, nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers - and the military gets what it wants - films that portray the military in a positive light; films that help the services in their recruiting efforts. The Pentagon is not merely a passive supporter of films, however. If the Pentagon doesn't like a script, it will usually suggest script changes that will allow the film to receive the military's support and approval. Sometimes these proposed changes are minor. But sometimes the changes are dramatic. Sometimes they change dialogue. Sometimes they change characters. Sometimes they even change history." They create something coined 'disinfotainment'. They mix disinformation with entertainment and call it disinfotainment.
Unadulterated Violence is now accepted on regular TV. Killing in the name of the mother government is praised, that is unless the violence is committed in self defense to protect someone from the system. Sharp shooters, bombers, and assassin are worshipped if they are fighting for the system, are in the military, or are associated with groups that control the masses locally, such as the local police department. I don't condone violence, however it's hypocritical to support one form of homicide when it favors the elite, and condemn another when it's done to protect your land, freedom, or loved ones. This odd reality transfers itself into the shady world of video games that are stepped in plots and tasks to kill as much as the player can. The players are getting younger and younger with 7 out of 10 children playing games with a 'Mature' rating. Recently I was browsing the PC video game selection at a very large electronics store. I was appalled to see nearly 50 different games in which the setting of the game is IRAQ and the goal is to kill as many insurgents as possible and fulfill the mission. Children today are being indoctrinated through their favorite games and law enforcement programs to be the button pushes of the weapons of mass destruction for tomorrow's world.
Is it any wonder why there are two house bills and a senate bill (with more on the way), which are giant steps in dismantling free speech of the general public. These bills together would kill (PEG) cable access centers where the public still owns the airwaves. It's the programming created locally, without censorship or commercial gain. Their income is derived from franchises within the local cities and a small percentage cable subscriber frees. This is a corporate takeover because this is centralizing communication by removing the locally based programming and moving the audience to the more official, nationalistic, and sensational programs that promotes violence, uniformity, and slavery over peach, diversity and freedom. Cable access features free speech and information with perspectives neglected by mainstream television. It also features a free flow programming system with fresh programs being aired by new producers on a rotating basis. This keeps the content and information creative and locally based while network TV is rigid with regular time slots and repetitive programming.
The blocks of programming that are universally accepted parallel the shift to craft our entire lives towards the factory's bell and the illusion of time. This is the creation of the hive mind. The hive mind is result of massive brainwashing to the general public. Everyone shares the same thoughts, goals, knowledge and understanding. A hive mind society gears itself towards conformity and ignores diversity while masqueraded as the road to utopia in mainstream television. Network programming, weather it's the news or drama, is geared towards artificially creating your world and reality. With the proper amount of entertainment and sensationalism, we may even be living our lives through the television set. Many anchors and actors are beautiful and research shows that attractive people are usually perceived as trust worthy. While the real news rolls quickly by on the bottom of your screen, the anchor is selling you on the idea of having your very own police state hell hole right here in your local jurisdiction, or how 2 sports opposing teams chased around on a court for 2 hours in attempt to score points means something to you. No education, no information, SPIN. Today the media represents a tool of brainwashing and indoctrination that is utilized on behalf of the owners interests.
Since the 1996 Telco act, television and radio stations all across the nation were bought out by major international media outlets. Clear Channel and Infinity are the two largest corporations in radio today. This has centralized the distribution of information and has threatened our free society ever since. The media drums to the heartbeat of its owners, whose interests are not of the general public. Instead they are interested in their other financial endeavors like defense contracting, oil business, political parties, prison industry. The conflicts of interest are monumental with the deregulation of the corporations. The lines are now blurred between one network's coverage of the war and the other.
Once we come to the conclusion that the media is intentionally deceiving us, we can apply the principles of problem-reaction-solution. This formula takes a problem by either creating it or allowing it to happen and presenting that to the population. It could be terrorism, molestation, extra terrestrials. These topics create fear and no one in their right mind would support terrorism or crime. It's therefore OK to blast the television, the papers, and radio with 'the problem.' The natural reaction from the people is a request for more control to ensure more safety. Most let their fear and emotional side control their decisions and usually translated into something like, "The government needs more power over our lives to make us safer and freer from tyranny. I believe what the media tells me so I will support whatever decisions they make." Today's mainstream corporate news program discourages dissent of the war and paints activists with a negative brush that hints of treason. At the same time, the so-called journalists are cogs in a much larger machine who know that if they report a story that paints the government in a dark light, is likely to remain on 'the wire' and off the front page.
The most disturbing thing about spending a single hour examining network cable news and modern Hollywood films are the reoccurring themes in the backdrop. The central ideas of countless "investigative reports" or "Friday night special" features are about a threat of some type over the horizon. The end of the world as we know it is being sold. If the news isn't feeding it to you, then the History Channel or Discover Channel are either talking about the crusades, asteroids, UFOs, earthquakes, terrorism, or exposes about serial killers. They are crafted a message that our world is unstable, and the threat is always an invisible and dangerous one that only our military can fix. When you record and log all the messages, you end up with a script, a screen write produced through the movie studios of Hollywood hell.
I am not alone in noting this observation. Local and network news are designing their editorials about despair and fear because the owners, producers, and editors now understand that fear sells. The end result are the desired ratings, delivered like expected. The masters of modern spin understand that we like to be terrified. Just look at the success in the action/suspense/terror genres that have plopped onto the conveyor belt and packaged for our glee consumption. When the editors in charge found out that simply plastering a terror alert chart didn't scare the people the same way it used to, they began to kick up the campaign of terror a few notches with new and creative ways to sell the police state.
When you get to the other side of the terror alerts of all shapes and sizes, you find another nightmare masquerading as the savior. The 'Ministry of Truth' will protect you. The mother government is here to rescue you and squash this brown terrorist bug, this gray alien, this avian bird flu, and every other nightmare that the nightly news brought you. The finest public relations specialists take the science of worshipping our kings down to a frame by frame level. George W. Bush is pictured in numerous poises with a hallo around his head. In other pictures, he stands tall with dozens of American flags blowing in the wind behind him. A more blasphemous display features him speaking in front of the cross of Jesus Christ. The message send couldn't be more clearly presented. Our current leaders are of the messiah status and only through them, will we reach the gates of safety. The lie that has been accepted by so many as truth is that this is a religious war. Numerous prime time programs are telling the story of the crusades (without the horrors) to synch our vibrations up to something out of the 13th Century, instead of the 21st Century. If the America people accept the fact that the crusades are here, that George Bush reports directly to god, and that revelations are here, then they have won the war for our minds.
The loudspeaker whispers, "All our problems are by accident, never design." Across the room the system's minion snorts, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." It's that plot that says Middle Eastern terrorists from an Afghan cave are the reason beyond our little, "War on terror." Related messages in the script demonize young minority males and suggest harsh punishments for crimes they commit. They don't come out overtly and state their racist agenda. They come at you from the side by airing the same crime news repetitively, usually when it's committed by the minority group. The networks love the fact that the TV sets the norms in society and today, and hence politically opinion. Who would imagine that in the United States of America, both candidates of both parties in the 2004 election would be members of the Skull and Bones society at Yale University? Out of 290 million Americans, this is the best we could come up with?
It is the decision of the owners to influence producers, editors, and others involved to paint to brush to fit the objective, which is the bottom line. If Sports is what the people want, then they get it, usually in large doses. Multi-media sports (or spectator sports) is just an escape from our own existence. It's like gambling, or drug addiction. It provides that buffer zone of rooting for something with other people that we've been told is good. People's fantasies also lead them to fixating on sports. Its simulated masculinity, in an age where there's a push to change us from men to robots. It's human nature to resist and fight that which is suppressing us. The sociologists and psychologists in areas of influence know this. Spectator sports prove the outlet internationally for what has been stripped away from us. We've lost the right to rebel and change our government through warfare if necessary. Today the bulk of our nation's population today doesn't know what's really going on with the fall of the American dollar and the plans for the transfer of American wealth to other countries. However, most can tell you who the top basketball or football players are. A lot of fans wish they were the stars, out there on the stage, the court, and the drag strip. Either you're "numero uno" in center stage or you're nothing. End of story.
What I never understood when I was in high school was why my peers and friends would act naïve or ignorant in a "Wayne's World" or "Beavis and Butthead" kind of way. What I've learned since then is that the numerous programs that are pimping themselves of as 'entertainment' are actually demo graphed to the lowest common denominator. This is especially true with disc jockeys in Radio today. The reason our airwaves are saturated with jokes and content centered on fart jokes, private parts, borderline racism, and general trash talk is because it is selling. In the meantime, large numbers of our children, young adults, and older audiences are mimicking what they see and hear because the current 'norm' is selling this behavior as cool or 'chic.' When the conditioned is so intense that these forms of content are considered the norm, anything else seems either bizarre or uninteresting to the average American's attention span that is decreasing by the day. Hypothetically, if a producer on a network did get away from a feature story exposing government corruption at the highest levels, chances are the large impact necessary wouldn't be realized because the average viewer's brain has already been conditioned to seek out certain types of disinfotainment.
The media has created the picture perfect society that could exist if we only did things their way, (their interests/government interest). It tells us what happiness is and what it is not and same for love, hate or anything else they can implant into our sub consciousness. We can become the perfect slave to the system through indoctrination given through network TV. Over time the messages are becoming increasingly racist, violent, and dishonest. But the programming began decades ago and few have the eyes to see it for what it has become. We live in a world where the populations give their minds away to the official version of the event, where utopia is right around the corner when big brother is riding shotgun. It's a world where Hollywood can make you believe anything, even that you are free. It's a world in which the prosecutor and the judge sit on the same side of the bench. The most obvious reason that our minds are being controlled on a massive scale psychologically, is become our culture has been conditioned incriminatingly to a TV, a radio, or a paper. We are given the world reality through a screen, some ink, or radio waves. The truth is hiding in plain site. The indoctrination through these mediums warns us that views other than those presented by them are unimportant and too be condemned. This Administration and media monopoly has a carefully crafted dehumanization program to anyone that dissents the official version of events.
Some people are wrong about 5% of the time. Some are wrong most of the time. I wish I was wrong all the time. A lot of people deal with these intense realities, by asking me rhetorically, "What is the solution, smart guy?" Remember, it's the viewers, the consumers and all the other little votes called dollars that helped this oligarchy system lay its concrete foundation in our backyards. We must recognize the truth about why the system is flawed and enslaving us if we wish to beat it. The most important solution to fighting this type of brainwashing and mind control is to start with ourselves and our own awakening in the smaller things. In this case, it's brainwashing but after awhile we break Outside the Box and begin venturing outside the system and into unknown terrain. Fighting with people and forcing them to understand 'our truth' is not a solution. If our collective free will created this nightmare, than only our collective free will change it. The battle begins in the heart and mind of the beholder, and then extends outward from there, only to those open to the information.
If you choose to travel the road to the truth, then you must be prepared for the obstacles that await you. You may be condemned or criticized by your family, your friends, your lovers, or your co-workers. This is their programming that began at birth that is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. You're going to have to be stronger than that. You must realize that there is a reality that exists outside of this controlled artificial system. Like Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade, he took that 'leap of faith' over the bridgeless canyon in an attempt to get to the other side. Like Neo in the Matrix, he took the red pill from Morpheus in his attempt to cross over to his real self. Once you wake up, it's as if a hypnotist came along and snapped his fingers. You wake up and say to yourself, "Oh my god. I can see it now. Why did it take me so long to wake up?!" For some of you it can be a major shock. Like anything else, take this information and knowledge in stages. If it took a lifetime for them to mold your reality for you, then you know that it may take longer than a day to fully awaken. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

"Big Lies" - Who told the worst political untruth of 2005?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10578257/site/newsweek/
From their I ventured into another blog site and read about the Milgram-Experiment in:
http://wandering-reflections.blogspot.com/2005/12/milgram-experiment.html
Then I read a comment by Signs -of -the -Times.org and they actually had some interesting suggestions for new government policy.
Quote: "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it" -Albert Einstein
Awaken from the dream........:-)
K
The comment below followed the article on "Big Lies."
Signs-Of-The-Times.org Comment: It's a strangely schizophrenic state for the United States to be in: on one side, you have Bush, Cheney and the gang loudly proclaiming "their reality," and on the other, you have more and more mainstream media outlets loudly proclaiming that Bush, Cheney, and the whole White House gang are out and out liars.
Two years ago, almost NONE of the mainstream media sources were calling Bush and Cheney liars; that was the purview of the alternative news sites and bloggers. But the issues have grown so large, so frightening that even the moderates and former Bush supporters are joining the general clamor for something to be done.
There's a problem, however, as Eleanor Clift points out above:
"The polls show that a majority of Americans no longer trust this team, which is why Bush and Cheney are hitting back hard at their critics. ... We have no mechanism to deal with a president who has lost the trust and confidence of the American people and has three years remaining in office. Impeachment is a nonissue; it’s not going to happen with Republicans in control of the House and Senate."
Recent polls (uncooked ones, that is) show that over 80 % of the American People want Bush impeached. But, as we pointed out a day or so ago, that's not the answer. If you impeache Bush, you get Cheney, if you impeach Cheney, you get Hastert, if you impeach Hastert, you get Stevens.
What we need is a way to get rid of an entire government.
The problem seems to be that our Founding Fathers did not include in their deliberations, any situation such as the United States is faced with today: a gang that has fixed elections, assassinated opposition, blackmailed and stacked the Congress to pass laws that essentially create a dictatorship.
Some other democratic governments have made provisions for just such contingencies. Typically, when parliaments vote 'no confidence,' or where it fails to vote confidence, a government must either: 1. resign, or 2. seek a parliamentary dissolution and request a General Election. We think that such provisions still leave something to be desired in that there is no way to factor in the voice of the people
In view of the situation, we here at Signs do have an idea. Since it is now obvious that 80 % or more of the American people want Bush OUT, it is not very likely that any of them will be voting Republican in the next congressional elections. If a Republican majority is returned to Congress, we can then be almost certain of vote rigging. So, the thing to do first is deluge all state governments with demands for voting systems that have a paper trail to ensure that no more elections are stolen.
Then, the people must put their energy into demanding new legislation. This legislation should be a bill introduced in Congress to the effect that a petition of citizens can invoke a national referendum of confidence/no confidence. Such a referendum will be 1 person = 1 vote, no "electoral college," no steps between the will of the people and the representatives of the people. If the will of the people is "no confidence" in the reigning government, they must all resign and a new election will be held. There ought to also be new legislation regarding elections, election financing, Congressional perks and power brokering.
So, here are some general ideas:
Government Should Be In The Hands Of Those Who Wish To Serve And Who Are Qualified By A Thorough Psychological Testing Program As Well As Extensive Background Investigation by something equivalent to a Grand Jury. Governing powers should certainly never be in the hands of those who are evaluated according to "electability" in terms of looks, or budget. Government should be made undesirable to those who seek money and power. Honor and the High Regard of the People should be the main rewards of statesmanship. Therefore, the following should be enacted as Constitutional Amendments:
A. Outlaw Expensive Political Campaigns. The Top Five qualified candidates should be given equal media representation gratis so that each can clearly state their positions and platforms. Money must be divorced from power in a Democracy.
B. Outlaw Lobbying And Special Interest Groups. Each Act Of Legislation should be clearly written so that all people can understand it,and no bills should be "conglomerates" where an unpopoular measure can be piggy-backed on a popular one.
C. All Elected Officials should be elected by Majority Vote of the People only. The Electoral College needs to be dismantled.
D. Salaries Of Elected Officials should reflect an average of the incomes of their constituents. In this way, they will have a better idea of how everybody else lives and will be more motivated to solve the problems of the people they serve.
Legislators and government officials should be provided with simple apartments, paid for by the government, where they can live while performing government functions if they must live away from their normal homes while doing so. Expensive residences, parties, cars, trips, and other so-called perks must be outlawed. Entertainment for visiting heads of state from other countries can be handled via special programs for same.
E. Outlaw Honorariums, Speaking Fees, Consulting Fees, Gifts etc, for elected officials while in office. If they can't live on their salaries, how do the expect anyone else to do so?
Such measures as the above are simple and would quickly result in social adjustments relating to government. With individual riches and power eliminated from the government equation, only those who truly seek to serve will be motivated to run for government office.
Naturally it is to be expected that great resistance to such ideas will issue from those possessing great wealth and power. The wealthy and powerful control not only the government, but also religions, social customs and social institutions. They have access to very clever theoreticians who invent very clever theories to justify everything they do. The result of these machinations can be seen all around us today. Never before has humanity been so precariously balanced on the edge of a chasm of fire, from which no one will emerge if we fall in.
Popular Theory holds that, while concentrated wealth may seem unfair, it is "good for economic prosperity." A couple of con-artists once made an Emperor a New set of clothes, too.
We believe in prosperity and comfort and freedom from want for all. Indeed, those who are more industrious and ambitious will naturally have more than others: that is the nature of a free market. We have no issues with that. However, we believe that those individuals who are less "equal" in terms of intellect or ambition, but who are still the majority of humanity, should be able to establish and maintain a basically comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle. The people who are content flipping burgers and collecting the trash should be able to live without stress, too.
Since our current major problems are actually Economic, we think immediate measures must be taken. These measures are based on the ideas of Dr. Ravi Batra, Professor Of Economics at Southern Methodist University.
A. Enact taxation in proportion to benefits received from the government. Since "Defense Of Our Way Of Life" is the Primary Benefit we receive, and is the major part of the Federal Budget, those who have the most to protect should pay the most taxes for that service.
Those who have accumulated great wealth in the United States have been vigorously protected at great expense of life limb by the common people from the time of The Revolutionary War until the present. That is to say, that the wealthy have been protected at the expense of the poor and middle classes and yet, the poor and middle classes are getting poorer and less able to survive while the rich are getting richer and sending more of the sons of the poor and middle classes off to die to enable the rich to get richer. For this reason, such a Wealth Tax should be retroactive when possible.
This Tax should be imposed on net worth including Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, Precious Metals, Paintings Etc. An Exemption of an amount to equal twice the average cost of living in a given region should be allowed for everyone for personal and living expenses. The next double amount of the average cost of living would be taxed at 2%, the third at 3%, the fourth at 4%, and so on up to 10% of everything above 10 times double the average cost of living.
As can easily be seen, this would instantly remove the tax burden from the poor and Middle Classes entirely.
This Tax Rate would also generate revenues amounting to well over $300 Billion, based on $15 Trillion in total wealth.
This tax would apply to all foreign investors as well. This money should be used to immediately balance the Federal Budget. At the same time, government spending must be frozen and capital controls against moving money out of the country enacted.
Several things would result from this plan.
1. The tax would only fall on those who could afford to pay.
2. It would stimulate those of wealth to divest themselves of speculative paper and invest in actual industry. REAL jobs would be created and expanded.
B. Financial Institutions Must Be Regulated, and not by themselves as is the current situation with the so-called "Fed."
C. Charge Foreign Countries For Defense. It is cheaper for foreign governments to pay the U.S. than to establish and maintain their own standing armies. That is one of the reasons the U.S. has so many military bases all over the world. Ten years agoa, as much as $290. billion of the U.S. Defense Budget was spent on defense abroad. Today, that figure is so unbelievable that the U.S. is in imminent danger of economic collapse.
Following WW II, America offered a sefense umbrella to impoverished allies. At that time it was the world's largest banker. Those surpluses have declined turning America into the world's largest debtor. We can no longer compete in world trade because of our defense spending. Charging 1 To 2 percent of other nation's GNP for defense would bring in hundreds of millions annually. It can be said that the Iraq War is being fought on behalf of Israel, therefore, Israel should pay for it. Any wealthy individuals in the U.S. holding dual Israeli/American citizenship ought to pay double the Wealth Tax: once for the U.S. and once for Israel.
If other countries imposed a wealth tax as well, they would easily be able to bring their books into balance. But, as we have noted above, it is the wealthy who have risen to power on the blood, sweat and tears of the common man with the predictable result of today's embarrassing situation of the U.S. being stuck for the next three years with a president and administration that over 80% of the people do not want. It is the "love of money" for its own sake that has brought this evil on America.
In closing we would like to say: We believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people - and we desire to see that it does not perish from the Earth!

Piercing through the Veil (Illusions)
The proposition that Dr. Hawkins presents in this book is "…the human mind is like a computer terminal connected to a giant database. The database is human consciousness itself… with its roots in the common consciousness of all mankind. …The unlimited information contained in the database has now been shown to be readily available to anyone in a few seconds, at any time and in any place."
In other words, Dr. Hawkins presents a method, using "kinesiological testing", to get an accurate answer to any question (except predicting the future) with a "yes or no; true or false" answer by accessing the sum total of human experience.
Kinesiological testing is a simple procedure relating to the mind-body connection that can be performed by two people. With his research assistants, Dr. Hawkins has performed thousands of tests of the reliability of the procedure. I invite you to read about it and try it for yourself.
Using this method, Dr. Hawkins has made a logarithmic scale ranking of different levels of consciousness, from shame (20) to courage (200) to enlightenment (700 – 1,000).
According to Dr. Hawkins, effectiveness of activity from the higher states of consciousness is based on power, the influence of good or leadership. The effectiveness of activity from the lower states of consciousness is based on force.
I have often used his, "Map of Consciousness", as a tool in assessing the different levels that one may be vibrating at. There are patterns very distinct at each level of awareness. Just knowing that different levels of awareness are in fact real, it helps one to move out of judgment and more into compassion toward others as they experience their version of reality from a different level or point of view.
This morning I happened to read this article, and found it correlates to perhaps another understanding of the levels one may observe in not only themselves, but in others.
Piercing through the veils, often reflects piercing through the layers of the heart.

From the December 2001 Idaho Observer:
Slavery and the eight veils
by Don Harkins
Over the last several years I have evolved and discarded several theories in an attempt to explain why it is that most people cannot see truth -- even when it smacks them in the face. Those of us who can see “the conspiracy” have participated in countless conversations amongst ourselves that address the frustration of most peoples' inability to comprehend the extremely well-documented arguments which we use to describe the process of our collective enslavement and exploitation. The most common explanation to be arrived at is that most people just “don't want to see” what is really going on.
Extremely evil men and women who make up the world's power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so grass green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly colored tags stapled to their ears.
The same people who cannot see their enslavement for the pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane “conspiracy theorists” those of us who can see the past the farm and into the parlor of his feudal lordship's castle.
Finally, I understand why.
It's not that those who don't see that their freedom is vanishing under the leadership of the power-elite “don't want to see it” -- they simply can't see what is happening to them because of the unpierced veils that block their view.
All human endeavors are a filtration process. Sports is one of the best examples. We play specific sports until we get kicked off the playground. The pro athletes we pay big bucks to watch just never got kicked off the playground. Where millions of kids play little league each spring, they are filtered out until there are about 50 guys who go to the World Series in October.
Behind the first veil: There are over six billion people on the planet. Most of them live and die without having seriously contemplated anything other than what it takes to keep their lives together. Ninety percent of all humanity will live and die without having pierced the first veil.
The first veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the first veil and find the world of politics. We will vote, be active and have an opinion. Our opinions are shaped by the physical world around us; we have a tendency to accept that government officials, network media personalities and other “experts” are voices of authority. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the second veil.
The second veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the second veil to explore the world of history, the relationship between man and government and the meaning of self-government through constitutional and common law. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil.
The third veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the third veil to find that the resources of the world, including people, are controlled by extremely wealthy and powerful families whose incorporated old world assets have, with modern extortion strategies, become the foundation upon which the world's economy is currently indebted. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fourth veil.
The fourth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fourth veil to discover the Illuminati, Freemasonry and the other secret societies. These societies use symbols and perform ceremonies that perpetuate the generational transfers of arcane knowledge that is used to keep the ordinary people in political, economic and spiritual bondage to the oldest bloodlines on earth. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fifth veil.
The fifth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fifth veil to learn that the secret societies are so far advanced technologically that time travel and interstellar communications have no boundaries and controlling the actions of people is what their members do as offhandedly as we tell our children when they must go to bed. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the sixth veil.
The sixth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the sixth veil where the dragons and lizards and aliens we thought were the fictional monsters of childhood literature are real and are the controlling forces behind the secret societies. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the seventh veil.
The seventh veil: I do not know what is behind the seventh veil. I think it is where your soul is evolved to the point you can exist on earth and be the man Ghandi was, or the woman Peace Pilgrim was-people so enlightened they brighten the world around them no matter what.
The eighth veil? Piercing the eighth veil probably reveals God and the pure energy that is the life force in all living things-which are, I think, one and the same.
If my math is accurate there are only about 60,000 people on the planet who have pierced the sixth veil. The irony here is too incredible: Those who are stuck behind veils one through five have little choice but to view the people who have pierced the veils beyond them as insane. With each veil pierced, exponentially shrinking numbers of increasingly enlightened people are deemed insane by exponentially increasing masses of decreasingly enlightened people.
Adding to the irony, the harder a “sixth or better veiler” tries to explain what he is able to see to those who can't, the more insane he appears to them.
Our enemy, the state
Behind the first two veils we find the great majority of people on the planet. They are tools of the state: Second veilers are the gullible voters whose ignorance justify the actions of politicians who send first veilers off to die in foreign lands as cannon fodder -- their combined stations in life are to believe that the self-serving machinations of the power-elite are matters of national security worth dying for.
Third, fourth, fifth and sixth veilers are of increasing liability to the state because of their decreasing ability to be used as tools to consolidate power and wealth of the many into the hands of the power-elite. It is common for these people to sacrifice more of their relationships with friends and family, their professional careers and personal freedom with each veil they pierce.
Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945), author of “Our Enemy, the State” (1935), explained what happens to those who find the seventh and eighth veils: “What was the best that the state could find to do with an actual Socrates and an actual Jesus when it had them? Merely to poison one and crucify the other, for no reason but that they were too intolerably embarrassing to be allowed to live any longer.”
Conclusions
And so now we know that it's not that our countrymen are so committed to their lives that, “they don't want to see,” the mechanisms of their enslavement and exploitation. They simply “can't see” it as surely as I cannot see what's on the other side of a closed curtain.
The purpose of this essay is threefold: To help the handful of people in the latter veils to understand why the masses have little choice but to interpret their clarity as insanity; 2. To help people behind the first two veils understand that living, breathing and thinking are just the beginning and; 3. Show people that the greatest adventure of our life is behind the next veil because that is just one less veil between ourselves and God.

The Dance of 12:12
The Dance of 12:12 has been Initiated for this Current Cycle
By Daniel Jacob - ReconnectionsDec 23, 2005, 21:14
The dance of 12:12 has been initiated for this current cycle. The Mystical Marriage has begun. The Shadow Dance of the Solstice (12:21) is underway. This is the time of year where POLARITY DANCE PARTNERS, of every shape, size, and classification.........stand face to face......wearing for each other their darkest reflections.
The STANDING STILL SUN..........which is the literal meaning for the term "Winter Solstice"..........symbolizes humanity's darkest hours, which come just before our brightest dawn.
There are definitive and logical reasons why this time of year tends to bring forth deep emotions, internal despair, and domestic trauma. It is the time (usually 3 or 4 days) where the gyroscope of our external momentum winds down completely---preparing us for the illumination of new ideas, new goals, and the BIRTH of our Magical Child.
The traditional celebratory rituals and customs of this season were originated, in many cultures.......to COUNTERACT the shock of this energetic STAND STILL. As the sun stops, our social world COMES ALIVE. During our shortest days, and our darkest times (energetically)......we purpose to surround ourselves with LIGHTS, SINGING, and EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. As our planetary boat energetically leans in one direction, our collective heart deliberately leans in the opposite direction.
All of this is preparation for the appearance of FIRST LIGHT, which comes on December 25. This is far more pervasive than that which comes from Christian Tradition. It spans many cultures and communities, carrying a myriad of meanings and symbolism.
This year, the numerology for that day is 12 (3) + 25 (7) =10 = 1.
The year numerology is 2005, which reduces down to a 7, which is the number of Planetary Completion (7 chakras, 7 days of the week, etc).
The cycles and systems of seven, maintaining and focusing the Planet Earth will interface directly with that ONENESS of which we have all been speaking.
http://www.reconnections.net/oneness_index.htm
In one of their latest transmissions to us, the Reconnections refer to this period as "The Birth of the Planetary Oneself Community."
This is a time on our planet when the concept of EXPLICIT COMMUNITY (that which is deliberate and outward in its expression, which is initiated through deliberate intent and regulated through political structuring) seems to be at its lowest ebb.........a time when humanity seems most disillustioned by its leaders and its political systems.
In one of their earlier transmissions, the Reconnections put it this way:
"A huge chunk of humanity has suddenly let go of the notion that answers to societal problems can find lasting resolution through collective outward deliberations and agreements. They cannot. All involvement in what you call "politics" is, at its root, a form of conspiracy. Though this latter expression is often upon your lips today, it surely is not new.
And the same dynamic applies whether you are negotiating with human ambassadors and politicians, or with Ascended Masters, who you feel are energizing "the peace movement to end all peace movements." The results will be the same. Enduring relief does not come through separation-based agreements. Or, if it does, it brings with it something you will probably need to address later. Are you familiar with the phrase "today's solution is tomorrow's problem?"
Through involvement in politics, you create a space called "society," where you form agreements with "them" (whoever "they" are).....that each of you will subjugate your spontaneous, authentic, in-the-moment behavior to a set protocol of expression (or repression)---to the end that you may live peacefully within a fabricated, postured environment that looks good, sounds good, but inevitably ends up feeling quite empty and sad.
You cannot resolve personal unrest and disappointment by focusing outside yourself. You only delay the inevitable moment when you must finally examine your own inner void and seek your own answers.
To realize that there is ONLY ONE......regardless of that One's various masks and faces, smiles, tears, or overt actions ......is the beginning of a new world, right then and there. And it only takes One, for that is all there really is, or ever was!
As this One begins to own each "other" one, and another, and another, as self......continually expanding his or her identity....and sentience of self---an innate force of personal homeostasis begins to take over. It isn't a "negotiated peace" at all. It is now, and always was inbred. Natural. Quite efficient, really.
In a Reconnected World, as in an aware, functional human body......the instinct for self-preservation always ends up reigning supreme. All AS One, One AS All. Every man for himself. But friends......what a "self" ye all are! Focus! Realize! Relax into it! You'll be amazed."
INNER REALITY, OUTWARD MIRRORS
Now comes the new birth of IMPLICIT COMMUNITY.........Family of the Heart......which has its home in the heart and soul of every man, woman, and child. Through belief in Universal Oneness, the Multiverse, and our time-honored Metaphysical Cornerstone called: "You create your own reality".......humanity is about to collectively turn ourselves INSIDE OUT. Many individuals have been living this truth for years, but now SOCIETY, as a WHOLE..........is ready to step into this principle.
The CHRIST is born.......within each of us. We become our own NEO.........."The One".........who is Gatekeeper for our individualized universe of perception. As life goes on all about us......our newly activated Oneself Perceptual Software also begins to come online........ framing and highlighting EXACTLY what it is we need to see, feel, enact, and celebrate........wrapping it all in a firm belief that "This is ME. It's all ME."
The Oneself Planetary Community is our WORLD WITHIN, which has power to shift and adjust our WORLD WITHOUT.
It is a Locus of Perception, where each of us stands at a junction of vertical and horizontal, positive and negative, male and female, light and dark. This realization of Oneness becomes a TOUCHSTONE, a RESET BUTTON, which can return everything and everyone into a SINGULAR TONE of Beingness, Oneself Awareness........just before we dance off again into our infinite expressions of variance and diversity.
May the arrival of December 25, 2005 (the great 1 and 7 conjunction) bring you an abiding sense of confidence, internal vision, and personal joy!
Solaris Homily! (Peace, Love, Fellowship).
Christmas Eve and Thinking Peace

It's Christmas Eve Day and I have a few minutes to sit and reflect on this day and tomorrow. As we wind down another year of tremendous changes, one can only wonder what 2006 will birth. It is my hope that the hearts and minds will be opened further and conflicts will be settled in a more peaceful and enlightened manner.
I happened to find this article this morning written by John Dear, and thought it was something worth pondering.

“Peace on Earth” Means “No More War”
by John Dear
The story goes that when the nonviolent Jesus was born into abject poverty to homeless refugees on the outskirts of a brutal empire, angels appeared in the sky to impoverished shepherds singing, “Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth!” That child grew up to become, in Gandhi’s words, “the greatest nonviolent resister in the history of the world,” and was subsequently executed by the empire for his insistence on justice.
This weekend, as tens of millions of Christians across the country celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, the U.S. wages war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia and elsewhere; crushes the hungry, homeless, elderly, imprisoned and refugee; and maintains the world’s ultimate terrorist threat--its nuclear arsenal.
Like Herod, Pilate and their soldiers, we have rejected the angels’ call for “peace on earth.” When Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their warmaking supporters celebrate Christmas, they mock Christ and his steadfast nonviolence, and carry on the massacre of the innocents.
If the angels are correct, then Christmas requires us to welcome God’s gift of peace
on earth. In such a time, that means we have to work for an end to war. Christmas calls us to become like Christ--people of active, creative, steadfast nonviolence who give our lives in resistance to empire and war.
In pursuit of this Christmas gift, a group of us met this week with Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico, and asked him to dismantle our nuclear weapons and disarm Los Alamos, the birthplace of the bomb. In this day and age, it is surprising that any elected official would meet and listen to anti-war activists. Yet Richardson asked to begin a public dialogue with us about nuclear disarmament. We take this as a sign of hope, even as we continue our protests at Los Alamos.
When Gandhi was asked one Christmas day for his thoughts about Christmas, he spoke about the connection between the wood of the crib--Christ’s poverty--and the wood of the cross--Christ’s nonviolent resistance to evil. He said Christmas summons us to the same lifelong nonviolence. It has social, economic, and political implications. I think, like Gandhi, that we have to make those connections and pursue those implications. Here are a few of them.
First, Christmas celebrates the birth of a life of perfect nonviolence and calls us to become people of active nonviolence. Christmas invites us to practice the vulnerable, disarming simplicity of children, to live the disarmed life in solidarity with the children of the world, and to spend our lives in resistance to empire. It summons us to study, teach, practice and experiment with creative nonviolence that we too might live the life of nonviolence which Jesus exemplified so that one day peace might reign one earth.
Second, Christmas demonstrates that God sides with the poor, becomes one with the poor, and walks among the poor. God does not side with the rulers, the rich or the powerful, but with the homeless, the hungry and the refugees. Christmas puts poverty front and center and demands that we work to abolish poverty itself so that every human being has food, clothing, housing, healthcare, education, employment and a lifetime of peace.
Third, since Christmas illustrates how God sides with the poor in order to liberate the oppressed from poverty and injustice, it calls us to reject greed, give away our money and possessions to those in need, and also live in solidarity with the disenfranchised.
Fourth, Christmas pushes us to stand on the margins of society, where we will find God. Christmas announces that every human being is a beloved son and daughter of the God of love. Every human life is beautiful in the eyes of God, since God has become one of us. From now on, we reject exclusivity, racism, sexism, and discrimination of any kind, and embrace everyone as equal. We stand on the margins with the excluded, the marginalized, the outsiders and outcasts. From there, we envision a new reconciled humanity.
Fifth, as Gandhi pointed out, there is a straight line from the crib to the cross. Christ practiced steadfast nonviolent resistance to imperial injustice and was brutally executed. That bloody outcome is crucial to the story, and calls us to work for the abolition of the death penalty so that Christ will never be crucified again and the killing stops once and for all.
Sixth, since the birth of Christ means that every human life is beloved by God, that all human beings are God’s children, we have to treat every human being on the planet as our very own sister and brother which means we must oppose war and work for the abolition of war itself. In particular, we denounce Bush’s war on Iraq, demand that the troops return home, and call for reparations and nonviolent solutions to the horrors we have brought upon the people of the Middle East.
Seventh, if the angels celebrate the coming of “peace on earth,” that means they are environmentalists. We too have to protect the earth, oppose its destruction, defend God’s creatures and the universe, and help make the earth a place of peace for every life form.
Eighth, Christmas means working for the abolition of nuclear weapons. These weapons are idolatrous and blasphemous. Their very existence insults the God of peace and mocks the nonviolent Jesus. We can’t celebrate Christmas and at the same time work at Los Alamos, Livermore Labs, the Nevada Test Site, or the Pentagon, or be silent while this work goes on We must reject this love or death and destruction, and pursue life, the God of life, and a new world without nuclear weapons.
Ninth, Christmas calls us individually to prepare for the gift of peace on earth. It invites us to welcome peace in our hearts and our personal lives, and learn to be at peace with ourselves, with God, with our families, friends, neighbors, and local communities, and with the whole world.
Finally, Christmas invites us to be human in an inhuman time. The scandal of the story is that God wants to become human and show us how to be human. We, on the other hand, want to play God, to be powerful, in charge, in control, to dominate the world. Perhaps the best way to celebrate Christmas and welcome the beautiful gift of peace on earth is simply to be human, despite the callous inhumanity around us, and to trust that our modest, vulnerable humanity--our nonviolence, compassion and love--like the humanity of the child in the crib, will one day bear good fruit and sow the seeds of peace on earth.

It's Time to Wake Up
The Old [male] sleeps allowing the New [female] to soon awaken.This picture came in last night through an email. What caught my attention was the subject line that said, "Wake up Santa, it's almost Time." My first thought was, "This exemplifies a large segment of humanity - many sleeping souls who still have not awakened and remembered who they are."
Have you gotten your Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz today? (ZPE -Zero Point Experiment)
We now see squabbling and fighting over the correct usage of words/slogans spoken at this time of year. When the Santa energy in each one awakens from their slumber, it really doesn't matter whether we say "Merry Christmas, Xmas, or Happy Holidays." One will know and feel the under lying theme is just "LOVE." This vibration is felt in Merry, Mary, Christ, X-out of box, Happy and Holi (Holy). Time is running out folks to put these differences aside. It's time to stop this non-sense and come back to our real senses!
Today's highlight on AOL had the caption: "War on Christmas Comes to Wal Mart."
(SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Dec. 18) - A group of religious protesters demonstrated outside a Wal-Mart superstore Saturday, hoping to turn away customers by calling attention to the retailer's decision to use "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas" in its seasonal advertising.
But even shoppers who agreed with the protesters weren't willing to interrupt their quest for holiday deals.)
One person in the article said, "He believes in Christ and doesn't like the use of Xmas."
"Christmas" is often abbreviated to Xmas, possibly because the letter X resembles the Greek letter (Chi), which is the first letter of Christ's name as spelled in Greek. From my landing pad and point of view, the word "Christ" is an energetic signature - a vibration that resonates within the being and encompasses and embraces all people, all cultures, all customs, and knows we are all ONE. The "Christ" vibration, in my humble opinion, wouldn't think to picket at a Wal Mart over the slogan "Happy Holidays." Is it just me, or does it seem like people are getting more absurd? :-)
When the remembrance of the Santa (Christ) vibration is truly ignited and one remembers their own Divinity or Holy Spirit, it will be a very "Happy Holiday" (Holy, Wholness) day of the Me in Merry Christ Ma S (Mary)!
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There’s no one
Who can doubt it now
So let’s tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There’ll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, let’s sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

"Whatever Happened To Peace On Earth?"
By Rep. Dennis Kucinich, AlterNet. Posted December 30, 2004.
Willie Nelson's song does not confuse peace with passivity or promote acquiescence to violence in the guise of championing democracy.
Peace on Earth and goodwill toward ...? Last year at this holiday time, Willie Nelson was sitting at the kitchen table with his wife Annie, reading the newspaper accounts of the war in Iraq. The season of contradictions was upon the country music master. "Babies dying . . ." he observed, watching pictures of Iraqi children and their mothers in the vortex of war. "Mothers crying. Whatever happened to peace on earth?" he asked Annie.
Annie Nelson is a passionate activist, an intellectually gifted mother of two teenaged boys with a sharp sense of timing. She knows the power of the moment: "Write it down," she said to Willie. A song was born.
"Whatever Happened to Peace on Earth" is provocative, even hard-edged. It insists that we consider the paradox of a culture where many are sincerely desirous of peace, as contrasted with a government which crushes those aspirations, ruthlessly pursuing war while capitalizing on public disbelief or indifference.
"Whatever Happened to Peace on Earth" will not let us have our holidays both ways as we attempt to contort our consciences to balance the blatant immorality of war with the clear teachings of the Prince of Peace.
As you read the lyrics below, you see Willie does not confuse peace with passivity or promote acquiescence to violence and lies in the guise of championing democracy.
Those who have just celebrated the birth of the Christ know His Gospel was straightforward: "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God." Peace is the God-like spiritual value to heal a temporal world wracked with war, torture and deceit.
Yet how many of those who say "Jesus is the reason for the Season" act as though the Sermon on the Mount was delivered by victorious partisans of Capitol Hill (or the White House) as they self-righteously mix God and Patriotism in a toxic cauldron of war? We are all vulnerable to self-justifying pietism when it is wrapped in garlands of tinsel, evergreens and poinsettias. But you won't hear our flag-coccooned government resolving for peace in the New Year. Whatever happened to Peace on Earth... and to us?
This sacred holiday season as we hold close loved ones who give deep meaning to our lives, let us move past the comfort of reverie and peel back the gauzy nostalgic Currier and Ives-like tableau to join Willie and Annie and the Nelson family in asking "Whatever happened . . . . "
What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth?
There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth?
And what ever happened to peace on earth?
We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
"Thou shall not kill"
How much is that soldier's life worth?
And whatever happened to peace on earth?
(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth?
And whatever happened to peace on earth?
So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do?
(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth?
And whatever happened to peace on earth?
Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth?
And whatever happened to peace on earth?
But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free
(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth?
And whatever happened to peace on earth?

144 Points of Light

144 Points of Light
Enlightening Planet Earth
This morning a reminder came in from the Beacon's of Light, http://www.Lightworker.com,
and the headline, "144 Points of Light" caught my eye. The Points of Light theme has been very prevalent in my thoughts recently, and so to see it in print, put a smile on my face. So much wonderful Lightwork is being accomplished at this time. As we hold hands across the globe (Blogger Buddies), we can hold each other up while Mother Earth and all her children shift into new gear.
For those experiencing transmission trouble and being stuck between 3rd and 4th gear/dimension - I encourage you to find some good body mechanics to work with you (massage, reiki, acupuncture, yoga, qi gong, chiropractic, and some essential oil use) to help you run smoothly while our roadways are under construction.
Have a great day, and point your light in the direction for home!

12/12 Day - 12:12 Stargate of 2005
The 12:12 Stargate of 2005
The 12:12 Stargate will be the birthing of the sacred knowledge of your creation. The number 12 represents great understanding and wisdom and this Stargate affords you the opportunity of understanding and accessing the knowledge of your own creation, why you have chosen to be here, your soul purpose and the very reason for your Being. You are being offered the power of yourself and what it truly means to be a Human Being. It is an opportunity for you all to change your patterns and beliefs about yourselves as individuals. It is a chance for you all to realign yourselves with the original Blueprints of your creation, which is one of LOVE.
The Stargate will allow for you to bring spiritual stability into your life by bringing you understanding and therefore harmony between your mind and heart. Your heart knows where you are going and why you are here, but this Stargate gives your mind the opportunity to understand why and therefore you shall become even more conscious of your power, yourself and your individuality.
This energy vibration plays an important part in your memory activation and is moving directly into your Root or Base Chakra. The cells in your Base Chakra hold the memory and knowledge of creation for each individual, as you are all the Keepers of the Sacred Knowledge. Just as Mother Earth has shifted in order to release ancient knowledge of Her creation, so too must you shift in order to unlock the ancient knowledge of your own. These original patterns for humanity's creation need to be grounded into the Earth so others may access this energy and therefore activate their own cells of ancient knowledge.
The balancing of your Masculine and Feminine energy has allowed for the activation of this new energy to take root. We ask that you draw this energy into your Base or Root Chakra so that it is able to activate the cells of ancient knowledge within your twin strands of masculine and feminine energy; your DNA.
The energy will rise like Kundalini through your energetic system and will exit out of your base into Mother Earth and from your crown into the Universe. In this way, you are accessing the ancient knowledge of Mother Earth and of the Stars.
The rising of this new energy will raise your own levels of consciousness and it is critical that you learn to use it well. You all have the ability to shape the world with fairness, integrity and in balance and the awareness of the many ways in which you abuse your power and energy will become clearer during this time.
In the past, humanity learned ways of abusing energy and power and have caused destruction on many levels. Due to the amazing work of Lightworkers around the globe, you are now being given the opportunity to access ancient knowledge that tells of the sacred ways of energy and the correct use of its power. These sacred ways have been hidden because of the fear of abuse but you have worked hard at clearing and cleansing your energy systems in order to hold this energy and begin using it in ways that are not damaging to yourself, to humanity and to Mother Earth. It is the responsibility of Lightworkers to embody these sacred ways and therefore show new positive ways of working with energy to create a reality that is one of joy, peace, love and abundance.
All actions and deeds come around full circle as the Universal Law of Balance is always upheld. The Sacred Laws tell of the beauty and sacredness of life and it is time for you to look at the values that are governing your lives. Are these the values of an open heart? Learn to open gently and lovingly to an expanded view of life and see how the values and beliefs that you hold are reflected in the choices that you make each day. Life is not meant to be a struggle but a spiral dance of your own creativity. Look and see what lies behind your creativity and rekindle the wisdom and radiant love of your true self.
Expand and unfurl the divinity of ancient knowledge within you, use the energy available to you now and see that it is a life force that brings health and wealth to body, mind and spirit. This energy will help to further fuse your soul life and physical life so you are more equipped in manifesting your dreams and desires. We encourage you to accept this wondrous gift and to join us in celebrating the awakening of your ancient selves.
With love and many blessings
Archangel Michael
