Gregg Braden and Translations 2008 Newsletter

Just a little information for those who have followed Gregg Braden's work and read his wisely written books. You may enjoy checking out his newsletter.

Quote from Gregg:

"Scientific evidence now reveals that belief affects everything from the healing of our bodies to the atoms of Reality itself! What could be more important than understanding how to use such an awesome power to reverse disease, create peace and abundance and even change Reality itself? In a world where the greatest crises of recorded human history now threaten our survival, the stakes couldn't be higher."

Elephant Paints Self Portrait

Chiang Mai - Elephant Painting (Some good Chi)

This morning I was treated to a wonderful video of an elephant painting. Minutes before that, I noticed a new device a family member had plugged into the computer, and I asked what it was. The reply was, "It's a memory stick." Seconds later, I'm watching this elephant with paintbrush extending from its trunk and with gentleness and ease, the strokes fluidly move over the canvas. Having a memory like an elephant sure does take on a whole new meaning. My friend who is an animal communicator mentioned that perhaps it's not the memory that is important, but perhaps its because the elephant is in NOW time. So, if we were to lose our fascination with trying to retain every bit of memory, or have a device to plug into our computer to assist us in retaining and processing every bit of information, could we also paint like an elephant or Van Gogh and believe there is nothing we cannot accomplish having dropped the fear of losing control and shifting more into our right hemisphere or as they say, "Being in the NOW"? Does the memory stick for adults serve as a child's blanket or favorite toy that gives them the feeling of safety? Or does the memory stick allow us to not have to remember all the bits of information, so we can unplug and free our own internal space? I once read that "Alzeheimers" allows one to be closer to Spirit or in the NOW. All this mind chatter before my cup of Yuban! Oh Yuban, take me away........so I can ban from the YOU and find my true SELF. Oh, I think that is the Palmolive commercial and I just noticed the live or olive with Pal... becomes good friends with self or eat more olives or the "O" represents wholeness found when we pal with self and become good friends as in the (yin/yang, masculine/feminine/right and left hemispheres) truly enjoying each other's company. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.

9/11 - Prayer for the Heart and Soul of America

Tonight I opened Steve Bhaerman's email and reflected on his words. May the vibration contained within the words of his prayer be felt in the deepest core of your being.

May the power of love and courage be embodied in each of us as we face darkness as beacons of light. May we light the way for others with joy and laughter, the weapons the darkness fears the most. May we gather together locally with the global idea that we are each a precious cell in the body of humanity with a loving gift to bring. May this wildfire of truth burn from the grassroots up, and may it vaporize the structures that no longer serve us. May the new leaders arise -- humble yet bold -- and may the structures emerge to help us create the maximum happiness using the minimum resources. May we understand that heaven is a practice, not a destination, and may we practice heaven until heaven becomes practically real. May we also understand that we choose which game we play in life, and now we must choose the world game as the only alternative to the end of the world game. We cannot know for sure the outcome, but we can know in our heart of hearts that it's the only game worth playing.

May we commemorate the next anniversary of 9/11 as a free people with nothing to fear from our own government, and may that government be a reflection of our highest aspirations for both good and freedom. May we do this for all humanity and for all our relations, and may we celebrate a new convenient truth ... global heartwarming.

Another "Z" Day

This morning I ran across an article on "ZAADZ." Here is a little excerpt from the article.

"When you hear the word 'Zaadz,' what comes to mind? If it's enthusiasm and joy, self-empowerment and changing the world, you're in good company.

Actually, the word zaad (pronounced zahd) is Dutch for 'seed.' When Brian Johnson, Philosopher and CEO of Zaadz first sat down with the idea of joining his two great passions—his interest in spirituality, personal growth, and bettering the world with his passion for entrepreneurship and business—the notion of 'seed' kept coming up.

"Amazing how much potential is in a tiny seed," says Johnson. "That power reminds us of the amazing potential within each of us. We thought the idea of creating a company that inspires and empowers you to bring your 'seed' to actualization would be pretty powerful. So, we created 'Zaadz.'"

And Zaadz, now the world's fastest-growing social networking site for socially and spiritually conscious people, is living up to its name."

X-Coaster Passengers Left Hanging Upside Down

Just after I finished posting my last entry on the "X", I opened to AOL and discovered this picture as a main headline. It was the X-Coaster words that certainly caught my eye.

It looks like this group got caught in the loop of time and are left hanging upside down. This sounds like most humans! Fourth Dimension or Time will keep you stuck in the loop, until you ramp up your energy fields into a higher vibration, and travel into the 5th! The Age of Aquarius is upon us!

(HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (June 10) - A dozen riders on a roller coaster spent half an hour hanging upside down - 150 feet above the ground - after a power outage shut down the attraction.

It took about 30 minutes for the city Fire Department to rescue the riders using a ladder truck Saturday evening, said Aundrea Crary, spokeswoman for the Springs & Crystal Falls amusement park.

Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster, but one passenger threw up after reaching safety.

The X-Coaster was one of several rides brought to a halt by the outage that originated somewhere near the park.

"You could tell who got off the (X-Coaster) because their faces were red," said Angela Salter. She was riding the Gauntlet, another coaster, and said park employees worked quickly to free her.

The park resumed normal operations, although the X-Coaster remained closed.)

Freedom - Moving out of Time

"X" Marks the Spot!

This past Tuesday was a very synchronistic day. There were many pictures of the "X" appearing before me, and my friend dropped by to give me a present. It was a large round clock with the hands at 10:10. The whole day seemed to want to get my attention. That evening I stopped by to visit a friend and was relating my day, when all of a sudden this "X" started forming on my car. This has happened one other time on July 4th two years ago. The 4th of July always reminds me it is really Freedom of the Soul we long for. This time there is a bright light in the middle of the "X". I believe it is a message that when we power up our energy and center it through the HEART.......we are able to move our awareness out of time, where true Freedom is felt.

This morning I opened a book entitled, "The Eye of the I" to a page and read, "In the Presence, all sense of time disappears, which is a crucial aspect of peace. Once the pressure of time ceases, it is recognized to have been perhaps one of the primary sources of distress that accompanies the human condition. Until the sensation of time stops, one does not have any possibility of knowing what real freedom or peace feels like."

A Roadmap to Inner Peace

A Roadmap to Inner Peace

(May these symptoms be contagious and feel free to pass it on to others.)

Symptoms of Inner Peace

by Saskia Davis

Nothing like a little humor to add insight into the traits we seek to emulate...
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been expose to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

· A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.

· An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

· A loss of interest in judging other people.

· A loss of interest in judging self.

· A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

· A loss of interest in conflict.

· A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)

· Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

· Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

. Frequent attacks of smiling.

· An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than (try to) make them happen.

· An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

WARNING:
If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.

Mother's Day Proclamation

Mother's Day began with a woman named Julia Ward Howe, who nursed the wounded during the American Civil War. In 1870 she started a crusade to institute a Mother's Day as a Day for Peace. She said: "Arise all women who have hearts, say firmly: Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. "We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. Disarm! Disarm! "In the name of womanhood and of humanity; take counsel with each other as the means whereby the great human family can live in peace; promote the alliance of the different nationalities, amicable settlement of international questions, and great and general interests of peace."

Julia Ward Howe Boston 1870

May this original intention for Mother's Day, be brought back into full implementation and the Divine Feminine arise in every man, woman and child on this earth.

Behind Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man Stands A Woman

Sandpoint, ID—Leonardo Da Vinci’s most famous drawing of “The Vitruvian Man” has a woman standing behind him in the circle.

A new analysis of this icon for natural living and holistic healing explains why both sexes are represented. Close inspection shows the woman stepped out of the box of earthly limitation into the cosmic circle depicting Divine unification.

The author of this research is a well known Harvard-trained scientist, Sir Leonard George Horowitz, honored last year by the World Organization for Natural Medicine as a “World Leading Intellectual.” His sixteenth book, LOVE the Real Da Vinci CODE, claims Da Vinci clearly honored women by drawing one behind Vitruvius. Her hands and feet touch the cosmic circle, whereas his remain confined to the earthy square.

This new explanation of Da Vinci’s art features sacred geometry—the circle is divided by nine appendages. A new math-based musical theory important for civilization’s salvation and spiritual evolution is advanced, according to Dr. Horowitz.

The circle represents what Horowitz calls the Perfect Circle of Sound™. This mathematical–musical–matrix was fundamental to Da Vinci’s creative genius. Da Vinci’s mentors, Plato, Pythagoras and Vitruvius linked this design to a musical instrument called the “monochord.” The instrument’s single string was strung in a circle. It played nine sacred notes with a movable bridge.

“That’s why Da Vinci drew nine human projections juxtaposed with the circle,” Dr. Horowitz explains. “This Perfect Circle of Sound™ creates everything in the universe according to advancing physics, mathematics, and music theory. Everything is built on sacred spiraling geometric forms like the galaxies that spin to obey laws of physics and mathematics. This art offers direction for understanding the universe and people’s place in it. Playing this music cultivates Divine-human communion. Research shows the tones are alsofundamental to natural healing.”

Upon close examination Vitruvius appears to be angry, probably because he’s “stuck in the box.” His genitals are fixed at the center of the square that analysts equate to the earth. At the center of the circle is the female reproductive organ—the umbilicus.

“Da Vinci mastered mathematics and music theory,” Dr. Horowitz concludes. “He drew his observations from water investigations. We have proof that nature crystallizes from sound on water using spiraling sacred geometry.”

Molecules and body chemicals, for example, operate according to mathematical-musical laws, akin to following the path of least resistance in an energy grid or Divine plan. That plan, or law, is this reverberating Perfect Circle of Sound™ impacting water and precipitating everything in a quantum field.

A feature length documentary called The LOVE CODE (www.thelovecodemovie.com) is being released this week along with Dr. Horowitz's new book. (Tetrahedron Publishing Group;888-508-4787) Six musical albums featuring these sounds will be available to music stores by mid-March. For more information go to www.lovetherealdavincicode.com or call 1-888-508-4787.

THE HOLY GRAIL

THE HOLY GRAIL

The search for a Holy Grail has kept men busy for centuries.
They search for the secret of Life.
The beginnings of the Universe,
Eternal Life,
Salvation.

But the search for a Holy Grail has missed the mark entirely.
The idea of a search is meant to guide us to the true Grail...Life.
One cannot search for Life,
Nor find a source for Life,
Within the confines of the physical universe.

Life is that infinite quality whose mere absence,
Would rob all things of their relevance and their meaning.
It is the invisible Creator,
On which all things rest,
And have their Being.

There is no location for Life,
There is no Explanation for Life,
There is no substitute for Life,
It cannot be dissected nor duplicated,
Nor can it be contained within any thing,
Life is infinite...aware.

It is omnipresent and multi-dimensional,
Life IS...

The Art of Not Being Offended

What other people think about me is none of my business! I had heard this statement a long time ago and always chuckle when I repeat it, as it contains some very wise advice. This sentence reflects the same sentiment of the article I read this morning written by Dr. Jodi Prinzivalli on, "The Art of Not Being Offended."

There is an ancient and well-kept secret to happiness which the Great Ones have known for centuries. They rarely talk about it, but they use it all the time, and it is fundamental to good mental health. This secret is called The Fine Art of Not Being Offended. In order to truly be a master of this art, one must be able to see that every statement, action and reaction of another human being is the sum result of their total life experience to date. In other words, the majority of people in our world say and do what they do from their own set of fears, conclusions, defenses and attempts to survive. Most of it, even when aimed directly at us, has nothing to do with us. Usually, it has more to do with all the other times, and in particular the first few times, that this person experienced a similar situation, usually when they were young.

Yes, this is psychodynamic. But let's face it, we live in a world where psychodynamics are what make the world go around. An individual who wishes to live successfully in the world as a spiritual person really needs to understand that psychology is as spiritual as prayer. In fact, the word psychology literally means the study of the soul.

All of that said, almost nothing is personal. Even with our closest loved ones, our beloved partners, our children and our friends. We are all swimming in the projections and filters of each other's life experiences and often we are just the stand-ins, the chess pieces of life to which our loved ones have their own built-in reactions. This is not to dehumanize life or take away the intimacy from our relationships, but mainly for us to know that almost every time we get offended, we are actually just in a misunderstanding. A true embodiment of this idea actually allows for more intimacy and less suffering throughout all of our relationships. When we know that we are just the one who happens to be standing in the right place at the right psychodynamic time for someone to say or do what they are doing-we don't have to take life personally. If it weren't us, it would likely be someone else.

This frees us to be a little more detached from the reactions of people around us. How often do we react to a statement of another by being offended rather than seeing that the other might actually be hurting? In fact, every time we get offended, it is actually an opportunity to extend kindness to one who may be suffering-even if they themselves do not appear that way on the surface. All anger, all acting out, all harshness, all criticism, is in truth a form of suffering. When we provide no Velcro for it to stick, something changes in the world. We do not even have to say a thing. In fact, it is usually better not to say a thing. People who are suffering on the inside, but not showing it on the outside, are usually not keen on someone pointing out to them that they are suffering. We do not have to be our loved one's therapist. We need only understand the situation and move on. In the least, we ourselves experience less suffering and at best, we have a chance to make the world a better place.

This is also not to be confused with allowing ourselves to be hurt, neglected or taken advantage of. True compassion does not allow harm to ourselves either. But when we know that nothing is personal, a magical thing happens. Many of the seeming abusers of the world start to leave our lives. Once we are conscious, so-called abuse can only happen if we believe what the other is saying. When we know nothing is personal, we also do not end up feeling abused. We can say, "Thank you for sharing," and move on. We are not hooked by what another does or says, since we know it is not about us. When we know that our inherent worth is not determined by what another says, does or believes, we can take the world a little less seriously. And if necessary, we can just walk away without creating more misery for ourselves or having to convince the other person that we are good and worthy people.

The great challenge of our world is to live a life of contentment,
regardless of what other people do, say, think or believe. The fine art of not being offended is one of the many skills for being a practical mystic. Though it may take a lifetime of practice, it is truly one of the best kept secrets for living a happy life.

Rosslyn Motet CD

.J.Mitchell's Rosslyn Motet - Produced by Stuart Mitchell

20 years of research and miraculous discoveries have un-veiled a music long forgotten in the history of Scottish music. For the first time in 500 years, the music of Rosslyn Chapel can be heard explained in extra-ordinary detail, beautifully portrayed using original instruments of their time. No element has been left out, not one stone un-turned. The intended music of William St Clair hides many secret's and a new book by Thomas Mitchell (Stuart's father) tells a story of music and symbolism and how it all connects to the creation of life.

You can purchase the CD here. For more information on the composition, please see my previous post.

Stuart Mitchell - Breaking the Codes

Father and son discover the Holy Grail of music hidden away for 600 years on the columns of Rosslyn Chapel.

A father and son codebreaking team have discovered music's Holy Grail - hidden in intricate carvings at Rosslyn Chapel for almost 600 years. Music teacher Thomas Mitchell, 75, strived for 27 years before he and pianist son Stuart, 41, deciphered symbols in the chapel which featured in the Da Vinci Code book and film.

The pair will reveal the secret songs in a special concert at the Midlothian chapel next month. Thomas, of Edinburgh, said: "The music is the result of years of painstaking research, recreating secret notes hidden for almost 600 years in carvings on the arches within the chapel itself. "We believe this is the Holy Grail of music and, unlike the Da Vinci Code, it is absolutely factual."

Thomas was intrigued by the sculpted angels and hundreds of intricately carved cubes in the arches of the Lady Chapel. Using skills learned as an RAF code-breaker during the Korean War and his lifetime knowledge of classical music, he finally realised they depicted the vibrations of musical notes. He said: "It was a Eureka moment to end all Eureka moments. "Many angels were carrying musical instruments and some were even grouped as if they were a choir. "But one angel gave me the biggest problem. He was carrying something and at first I thought it was musical instrument which had been lost in the mists of time. "It was only when I realised that he was carrying a musical stave, the blueprint for all musical composition, that I knew I was looking at a secretly coded piece of music. "By recreating the patterns on each of the carved cubes, with Stuart's help, we unlocked the notes to find a haunting piece of music had been hidden in the arches for centuries. "For the choral sections, we've used the words from the hymns to St John the Baptist taken from Matthew in the Old Testament which is fitting because the chapel itself is dedicated to St Matthew."

Stuart, a classical composer and pianist, used computers to decipher the carvings' secret music. He has named the medieval music the Rosslyn Motet. He said: "I also used authentic mediaeval instruments to recreate the music exactly and it truly is a masterpiece. "While the Da Vinci Code was full of red herrings to make it a thrilling work of fiction, the Rosslyn Motet music is a tangible work people can listen to. For centuries, scholars have been convinced Rosslyn holds the key to many different areas of knowledge. "We think we've cracked one particularly fascinating code, although we're convinced Rosslyn holds many, many more."

Four singers will join eight musicians playing mediaeval instruments to perform the Rosslyn Motet at Rosslyn on May 18. Simon Beattie, of the Rosslyn Chapel Trust, said: "We're looking forward to the event as this is a such an exciting and intriguing piece of work. "The music is particularly haunting and we cannot help feel this is yet another of the many puzzles that make Rosslyn such an astonishing place."

Rosslyn Chapel was built by Sir William Sinclair and Sir Gilbert Haye in the 15th century. Steeped in the history of the Knights Templar and Freemasonry, Rosslyn's mysteries are famous worldwide. Among the theories surrounding Rosslyn is that it is the secret resting place of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant and even the mummified head of Christ.

How They Did It

1. Carved angels and blocks above their head in arches of chapel baffled Thomas until he realised this one was holding a musical stave - and that the blocks signified notes.
2. Using this specially enhanced photo, Thomas and Stuart worked out that the carvings above the angel represent A, B and C.
3. Thomas and Stuart used this metal plate to recreate the ancient method of making notes. The plate is vibrated and sand poured on until it forms a particular pattern - indicating the correct pitch. The patterns match those carved into the arches of Rosslyn Chapel.
From Stuart:
Basically we have calculated the frequencies of the 3 notes that the stave angel is pointing out and it amounts to this;
At (ancient tunings)
A = 432
B = 488
C = 512
--------1,432
