Vibrating Rocks in England! - Avebury Formation
Current mood: optimistic
Category: Travel and Places

I have a new English client, Colin, one of my MySpace friends.  In honor of his wonderful, wise spirit, I've decided that England should be the focus of this week's blog.  Thank you Colin for your support and wisdom!  May your engineer's spirit soar with this tidbit.

In 2005, I visited my friend Mike in England.  He took me to the rock formation called Avebury, which is larger and more impressive to me in complexity than Stonehenge.  Some of the rocks when I touched them, gave off high sounding/feeling frequencies, some low and others very deep and rumbly, almost like the sound of a giant generator humming, in a pulsating manner.  Both Mike and I experienced headaches when we got near the two gigantic rocks (maybe 20 feet high) on the back field.  I sat down on one of the rocks and asked a few questions and jotted down some notes and drawings.  They went back to Mike's and asked for a formal reading about the site.  This is what I heard.  When I looked up the basic components of a telephone, it all made perfectly good sense.  I thought you might be interested.  My questions are in all CAPS.

March 27, 2005

         Avebury was as you were told,  an ancient communication system that was used to reach other worlds, and to communicate with God.  The frequency created by those power lines (underneath) are capable of allowing normal, non-gifted people to hear what approximates God's voice so that they were clear about what was needed to be done.  When Mike said that they must have had an enormous communication and planning line, he was correct.  They were able, because there was so little interference in ancient times with the natural electrical systems and power systems and they were unblocked, to communicate and hear more freely through the systems of charges and power. 

There is a very interesting phenomena going on throughout the entire world, as pertains to all of those power systems and what they call the ley lines.  There is connected power throughout all the systems they have discovered and hundreds more that they have not identified yet, that enables the proper user to not only be able to use the lines for communication, but also for travel and for healing, but additionally they can also do all kinds of psychic communication with each other and between themselves if they know how to use these systems.  The trick to it is in the identification of the full grid of power and the differences in frequencies within the power lines. 

There is a system on top of a system, and then another under each of them, layering down to a depth of 11 that has to be figured out in order to be able to fully understand it all.  That is what is happening under Avebury, it overlays to the depth of 11, but only the top three levels have been discovered.  The patterns are overlapping it seems, but not actually, they are at different depths.  In the proper configuration, there is an ability to move into the core of the earth and pick up the power systems there which are very different and have a different set of structures than the ones they are able to connect to.  It is only necessary to utilize the ones to the depth of 11 in order to be able to use the communication system, but there are at least 386  below, to the core of the earth, and then it begins again as it moves to the opposite side of the earth.  That is what is happening.  Ultimately, that gives you twice that depth and amount of lines, working from the core up. 

Still, it is the ability to tap into the top 11 layers that allows humans, and others to be able to communicate beyond your world, and with God.  People who have and operate with what you call psychic abilities, are able to tap into the levels of the first 11.  That is what allows them to communicate with the vibratory level of seemingly inanimate objects such as rock.  That is what makes the earth feel alive, and what provides spurts in growth for many things as well.  It is the energy of the top layers that in essence makes the world go round. 

The energy of the lower levels connects your planet with the others in the universe, and with other forms in the universe.  That is your common bond in the entire world, and what makes all of you one to some great extent.  The 11 makes humans, animals and plants one, because it is a common frequency, some frequencies greater used by some than others, but available to all.  The tapping of those frequencies allows that.  

When you have a person who can move through dimensions and reach others throughout other universes and planets, they are able to momentarily tap into the lower frequencies, though usually only briefly.  They take on different forms to do so, and can at times, move between both worlds in essence, but that is rare.  Generally, the human form cannot take on the energy level without combusting.  It is too much to endure.  However, in the few times that it is possible, they are in control of internal mechanisms that are beyond your comprehension.

ARE THERE OTHERS WHO COULD COMPREHEND THIS?

Yes, but they will have to bring the questions in such a form that you will be

comfortable not having to understand the answers first, at this level of your

development.  Otherwise you may interpret and not give them the true answers

they are seeking.  It may become distorted.

IS THIS INFORMATION BEST SUITED TO SCIENTISTS OR THEOLOGIANS?

What a question to ask.  Are you either?  These questions are important to more

than they, so they are appropriately asked by all.  The questions you ask now

may be interpreted best by scientists though, to understand Avebury.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS AVEBURY?

A giant telephone.  The portion that you identified in the center, with the three red stones is the receiver, just like picking up the telephone receiver.  The giant stones in the open field that are catecorner to one another are the transmitters, and they operate at an entirely different frequency than any of the others because of the placement on the lines beneath and the shape and placement of the stones.  They are the transmitters of both psychic thought and internal conversation. 

The lane of rocks that comes from the bottom of the hill and shoots up to the top of the hill is without too much fanfare, a conduction source, that is best activated by lightning, but it can be activated by other energy sources, included the vocal intonations of human beings. 

If a single person, or actually it would take four people to run the machine, wanted to communicate, they would have to be assisted by an energy source.  Lightning would be preferable, but fire, in its proper source and configuration, with the use of some of the stones that vibrate at a similar, and at higher levels could be used to ignite the communication system, for lack of a better term.  The placement of the people makes this minimal system of four, extremely essential.

However, the best way to activate the system, and the way most commonly used at Avebury and at others around the planet, was through vocal tones that activated the rocks, or rather the internal electrical systems of the rocks.  The formation  and placement of the rocks, and the type of rock, is then able to move together, sort of in unison to be able to create the right set of circumstances to be able to hear and receive messages.  All who were able to hear, and who were connected to the 11 lines in the right places were then able to hear and speak.  They are always heard, but they could only get confirmation of that when they were able to actually hear responses. 

The placement of the communicators was the crucial part of this system, and most of them were not placed in what is commonly considered the places a person would stand to feel the full effect.  The most prominent place for a listener was right about in the middle of the road between the red rocks and the flat rocks.  The are some rocks missing on the opposite side, near the ditch that are essential for the correct intake of information.  You did not see them.

The purpose of the ditches was to cause the 11 layers to bounce back within the

grid in order not to move in their natural pattern , which would take them out

of the entire system and weaken the transmission/reception ability.  That is

essential, or the signals would be weakened and too light for most of those

people attempting to communicate. The lip on the field around the transmission field helped to catch in essence, the power and the energy necessary to send.

WAS THIS AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM?

For the times it was.  The people knew instinctively that they could communicate, and those who were most connected to God were then able to hear the best and were used as the communicators on the telephone.

COULD THIS BE ACTIVATED AGAIN?

In some ways it could, but it would only work for the lower level psychics to some degree, who have not learned to harness the energy for themselves.  To a great degree it is not necessary today because of the development of skills.

COULD PEOPLE WITH NO PSYCHIC ABILITY UTILIZE THIS SYSTEM?

Not likely, though there was a greater likelihood in ancient times because of the purity of the earth's power.  Some things have evolved in humans now, and some things are less.  This would be a case when it would matter.

DO THE RED ROCKS OPERATE AT A LOWER FREQUENCY?

Yes, that is why they seem to rumble to you.  They are the receiver, and the flat rock behind them is one of the those used to bounce back the message in essence.  However, it is not the only one that works.  It is just the strongest one left because of the loss of some of the others.  In their natural arrangement, they all bounce off of each other and create their own strong frequencies even when not being used.  That is missing in part because of the missing components.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE PEOPLE WOULD TRAVEL UP THE CONDUCTOR MAKING NOISE, AND THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE ACTION?

Sort of, but certainly not quite that simple.  Each tonation had to be precise and the songs were quite exact, causing a trigger of sort as you call it, to make the placed rocks vibrate at a different level.

ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

Not much more you will understand.  However, the 11 lines are losing some of

their potency under the site, but that has much to do with the amount of energy that is not coming in from the different people who visit.  They are changing the energy of the site to some degree.  It could be cleansed and restored however.

For people who wonder, folks, I could not possibly make this up!  I suspect there is some scientists working on this as we speak too, which in my opinion, is why the chasm between spirituality and science needs to stop, and some common ground needs to be taken seriously, routinely.  I spoke to Mike's father who said that they have identified two of the ley lines there, that he knew of at that time.  That was 2005 though.

More stuff to think about , huh?

Being Spiritually Courageous
Current mood: pensive
Category: Religion and Philosophy

I've had an interesting week as seems to be the case when a new lesson is introduced by God.

I join a lot of groups because I am confronted with so many clients with truly difficult issues in their lives, so I try and listen to everyone's point of view. Being a part of varied groups allows me to check the posts each morning and know if some new thread presents an issue I've never heard of or a new perspective on something I have dealt with before. Most of my readings are by e-mail and I never see the person, so I'm comfortable with reading people's communications.



Because of that, I got a friend request from a person in one of the Atheist groups that I belong to, a "free thought" group. I was going to accept, but when I went to his page, he is a huge supported of a person who is a rabid anti-paranormal/mystic/beyond material understanding person, famous for his attacks on anyone who believes or claims knowledge of a world I live every day. So I communicated to this person that I had a problem with that man because his lack of tolerance for what he does not know, hurts people. This can be hard enough to navigate without attacks. 


The person's response was caustic, attacking, and insulting and said something like "quick, tell me ten personal things right now or shut up, which you can't"! I was trying to think of an even handed response, which took about 30 mins., and after writing what I would do in response to his attack, I sent it only to have it not go anywhere because he had blocked me. Clearly, he didn't want an answer.

Well I wanted to see what the lesson was in this case, so I found the common group and posted a challenge that there is another way, other than exclusive religious dogma on one end, and a total void of a spiritual being or world on the other end. There is middle ground. So after really, really checking to be sure I was not in a ego state, I suggested that I do 5 readings for five people in the group, they discuss the validity between themselves if they feel they can be open minded and honest, and if they found 75% accuracy, that we approach a discussion differently, starting with the concepts in my book.

Thus far, I have been called names, been responded to with ludicrous, childish nonsense, but still no takers. Not one person said they would try it, or even had a civil reaction to it, which surprised me, because free thought is supposed to be part of their religion, (and it looks the same to me) I thought.



When God is teaching us something new, I've noticed that it comes in threes for me. So as I was trying to process the information, I got a call from another Atheist, about something unrelated that I initiated contact with him a week or so ago. The conversation went well at first, and he knew who I was because he knew my age from this site, but then he didn't seem to know that I was clairaudient, or even what that meant. Well all of that is hard to understand because this page begins with "I hear dead people", right above my age. Hard to miss. So I know I'm in chapter three of this lesson. The conversation went terribly down hill, and when I said that once again I would do a reading for him, which he liked as an idea in the beginning, but after suggesting that I put myself in a situation to be attacked, which I refused to do unless we started with the reading, he hung up on me, wrote me a note about taking my meds, and that was it.



Interesting how these lessons come, and why I had to get it with Atheists this week is fascinating. Now I'm sure that there are Atheists who can actually have a conversation without being rude, insulting or attacking, so the lesson isn't about Atheists. I suspect the lesson came through them so that I could be clear that spiritual closedmindedness is an equal opportunity oppressor.  But what the lesson does seem to be about is spiritual courage. These particular people seem to be too afraid to let in the possibility that there may actually be some validity to this system of energetic action, communication with continued spirits,  that they don't understand. So afraid, that they will attack rather than ever listen or attempt to hear or understand. Spiritual courage seems to be having the conviction to openly examine your own belief system, and let it stand on its own, or more importantly, listening to other thoughts and having the courage to adjust what you believe if something new comes along that makes more sense to you, after open examination.  That's the trick.


I don't think spiritual courage has to do with being anchored to God, because we are all anchored to God whether we think we are or not. We are not powerful enough to disembark, no matter how far afield our actions seem from God, and no matter what we think we are doing in our little pea brained attempts to be independent. We are still under It/Her/His observation and connection. I've had the same thing happen with a few Christians and Muslims who are so attached to what they believe that they literally could not hear another person's opinion or experience. That is why the world is a mess right now. People being used by those who know this dynamic, and people who cannot hear anything other than what they believe or know.  Makes a person really easy to control, one way or another.



So what creates fear so great, that we can't, no refuse to take in any new information like this, when it happens? What would be lost if we just listened to something we don't know, and in my case in these situations, actually took a step to see? Actually listened and not just listened long enough to get our point in or attack. Think of the changes that would happen in the world if that happened. Think of the growth! Think of how much information gets in when we approach the world as if we can actually learn from others, which is frankly, part of our collective lesson. To be spiritually courageous so we can learn individually, and learn collectively. I think that is part of why mystics have so many different skills and no one of us has all the skills. We are not meant to. We are like everyone else, supposed to work together to make the one big picture work. Additonally, with too much at once, we might lose sight of why we have them and get big headed.  We have them, I've been told, to be an available source for those who cannot hear yet.  But if we continue to evolve as human spirits, everyone will eventually.  That is why more people have it now, than did 300 years ago.  We are changing, though apparently that is after losing some of what we had a couple of centuries ago, because we have succumbed to limited spiritual thinking and input.



So I'd like opinions. How does a person let go of fear and judgment enough to actually hear something that is uncomfortable for them? Do you think it has to start with their spiritual state; or mental; or emotional or just plain IQ. I've read that IQ may well be a test of how fast a person can take in information, process it and be ready for new information. That makes sense to me, because I have seen some very smart people who don't test high on IQ. When I look at them closely, they are usually very stubborn, and refuse to let go of the way they see things in order to let in new concepts. In other words, they are brilliant in one thing, but can't move quickly to another. I believe there is a spiritual IQ that works like that. The higher it is, the more open minded a person is and can hear other views, the lower, the more unaccepting. Has nothing to do with brain power.

So what do you think? What blocks spiritual communication between otherwise intelligent people, and how do we bridge that when the information is uncomfortable?

I'd love to hear from you.

Reincarnation and Homosexuality
Category: Religion and Philosophy

Reincarnation and Homosexuality

September 1, 2007

Earlier this week, I had a client ask this question:"Is being gay wrong? That has always troubled me. Thank you."

I compiled a response that I think represents what I have learned thus far from continued spirits about this subject through my ability as a Clairaudient. It is very simple to understand if we remember that the true God, not the manmade one, runs EVERYTHING.

Dearest,

    This, life, is all a journey, and all of us have tasks to accomplish that complete certain lessons. Let it suffice to say, that from what I know about the nature of reincarnation, more than likely, we will ALL be gay at some point in our journey, as we will all be bigots at some point. Each lifetime has something to teach us. So try and see it this way if you can. God runs EVERYTHING, and we are made, each lifetime, to accomplish the tasks She/He/It has put before you to do. Your primary goal is to weather and accomplish the challenges in that lifetime - your own perception, other's perception, physical challenges, etc. - with the most grace and self-awareness, so that ultimately in each lifetime, you strive for and accomplish being your very best spiritual self.

    All you have to do is look at a Hermaphrodite to know that God creates people with a range of hormonal levels that do not fall under the "all male" or "all female" categories. If that is true, a person created by God, who is more powerful than we can imagine, can never be anything but perfect, as they are. So if you were "born" with these proclivities, then you are as you should be and carrying out the design you were given this lifetime to live and work with and through, never forgetting and always focused upon being your best self.

    Now, having said all of that, however, if being gay is a response to pain and a "decision" made out of reacting to that pain, like say from being molested as a child, or raped, or hating an opposite sexed parent, etc., that is a different issue. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are not allowing the experience to somehow distort your natural spiritual self, to become someone you were not inclined to be. Therefore, you must make sure that your spirit is not damaged, and that you are going with that and harboring anger and hatred developed out of pain. That is not appropriate and must be worked on in order to become your best spiritual self.

    Let's say that at the end of that true and genuine examination, and even if you began a journey in homosexuality out of pain, but you have worked hard to make sure you have rid yourself of all hatred, pain, angst, prejudice against the offending sex who originally hurt you, and you still choose to become homosexual after having righted yourself spiritually, that may have been part of God's lesson, and you may be your best spiritual self at that point, but that is tricky. Most, or maybe many people don't actually do the work to be sure they are spiritually well, and somewhere in the backs of their minds is the feeling that "all men are pigs!" or such. Then no, you haven't as a spirit, worked everything out.

    Then there is another factor to consider. God runs this show, ALWAYS, not when some people find it convenient. And if you were a bigot against homosexuals in a past lifetime, and say killed one because of your hatred, you can bet that somewhere along the reincarnation journey, you are likely to become a homosexual and that is your task to come back and understand. In that case, you might well be, but not always be, a homosexual who has to learn and understand what pain is caused by such behavior. You might well be in turmoil as a homosexual this lifetime, or be abused as one, or by some and not be homosexual at all, but around them, or work for the causes of same just as well. That also depends upon how God determines you should have the lessons that She figures will bring you to become your best spiritual self during this lifetime.

    Therefore, it is a very complex thing, each of our lives, and could not possibly have one ridiculous rule like "all homosexuals are against God and nature, and thus wrong"! Only a controlling person or people who has/have no true understanding of the complexities of God, and the all powerful nature of this master alchemist could impose such a hateful, damaging belief system upon another human being.

    Let it go, if it haunts you - on either side of the issue - and strive to become your best spiritual self at all times. Don't let people damage you with their feeble attempts to interpret for a being so much more than most dare to imagine. That is the reason that small minded people develop a system to shame another human being, because they lack the capacity to comprehend such power as is God.

    Your goal, and mine, is to always get to the root of things and become the most loving and surefooted beings who dispel hate and bigotry in any form. That is our primary and absolute task on this plane, in this dimension, to become our best spiritual selves. Assigning small minded attributes to a being of such tremendous, enormous and from our standards, infinite power, is just absurd and insulting, like a gnat determining how an elephant pulls a tree trunk down, as if.

    If you are doing that, working every day at being and becoming your best self, then you are perfect, so I've been told!

Moral Simplicity and The Role of Good and Evil
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Religion and Philosophy

I was about to write something in keeping with my guest on The Spiritual Envoy this week, Clive Doucet, who wrote the book Urban Meltdown, about making spiritual choices and keeping morality simple. Then it dawned upon me that I have already written that in my book The Next God, so I decided to include this short chapter instead. I've never taken a chapter out of the book and published it in some other form, because I've been afraid it would not be able to stand alone. This chapter requires that the reader have some understanding of the chapter before it, which is about making choices and choosing door number one, two or three, and it requires some acceptance that I speak to many spirits that are unseen. Otherwise, I think it can stand alone, so here goes. Hope you enjoy it!
Eva

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
THE ROLE OF GOOD AND EVIL

        Without doubt, this is a volatile and misunderstood subject, the significance of good and evil. Please remember that what I am writing is a compilation of my understanding of discussions with God, as well as other spirits. In an ultimate sort of way, good is the mechanism we use to become our best spiritual selves. However, it is also subjective which is why so many religions exploit the concept in order to further their own agenda. Good, according to one culture, is not the same as another culture, so it may be difficult to discern the usage of this term. The same goes for evil. Therefore, clearly the terms and their usage cannot be used in an ultimate sort of way to describe an ultimate state of being, like being our highest or best spiritual selves. However, they are tools to help us get to this state, but only tools and not the goal.

        Even writing this feels like writing a riddle, and I know what I'm talking about, so I can imagine how difficult a concept this is from someone else's perspective. I'll try and explain. There are many factors that relate to this.
 
      For lack of a better manner in which to evaluate these ideas, the Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language – College Edition; 1953 definition might be a good place to start. It is important to note that it does not give examples of what it defines as evil, like in sentence usage. It defines evil as follows:
      
 " adjective - 1. Morally bad or wrong; wicked; depraved. 2. causing pain or trouble; harmful; injurious. 3. threatening or bringing misfortune; unlucky,; disastrous; unfortunate, as, and evil hour. 4. resulting from or based on conduct regarded as immoral; as, an evil reputation. Noun – 1. anything morally bad or wrong; wickedness; depravity, sin. 2. anything that causes harm, pain, misery, disaster, etc."

        While all of these definitions have some validity, they are based upon subjective reasoning, supported by cultural biases for the most part. However, there is a definition that stands the universal test and applies to any culture or method of thinking that I believe should be applied to our understanding of this concept. Bear in mind that of all the talks I have had with folks from the other side, and with God, they do not use the term evil, unless they determine that I cannot comprehend what is being said otherwise, and even then, it comes out something like "what you might think of as evil". In fact that was in the beginning of my communications, and now that I no longer think that way, they no longer have to communicate with me in such simplistic terms. Their choice for some spirit gone awry is to say that they are "misguided". Usually I try to use that term as well, but will use both for these purposes.
 
       So if we have a misguided spirit, in this life or on another plane, they always have one thing in common, at least from my observation of them. They always execute some form of action that seeks to impose their will over another person's, or group of people, or objects or positions in our plane, and sometimes in the next, resulting in the oppression of another's rights. Anyone who suppresses another's rights can be evil even if that person is not attempting to in fact, exact misguided behavior upon them. That, to me is the true definition of evil. Morality and all the other systems Webster uses to define evil fall under this larger action.
 
       Most evil is difficult to comprehend and hard to identify if you are not an independent thinker, because people who operate in evil, seldom mean to, and rarely recognize their own misguided behavior. M. Scott Peck in his book "People of the Lie" best explains the concept and state of evil in everyday people. It does not always look like something demonic, like the obvious folks such as Hitler, Idi Amin, and Jeffrey Dahmer. It is also in the will of a husband to control every action his wife takes, or the will of a parent to protect a child by giving them over-the-top information like "if you tell a lie, a monster is going to wait until you go to sleep and come out from the closet and eat your toes".

        What these actions do is build fear and take away another's right to connect to God and be their best spiritual selves, because they are too busy trying not to be eaten alive, either by real monsters or imaginary ones. The evil occurs in the creation of the fear, and then the resulting immobilization of the spirit that occurs as a result of that fear. Most true evil is very subtle, and almost unrecognizable if you aren't paying attention. I'll bet that parent has no concept that their actions have an evil effect on their child, none. But the terror can be long lasting and thwart the development of a normally developing spirit being, and give them more to conquer. While that may be part of the tests that God puts before them, the choice to choose door number one – the lazy choice on the parent's part (tell a ridiculous lie to a five year old that will stop all undesired action like getting up in the middle of the night so the parent can sleep); and/or struggling to believe (the easy choice and door number one for the child) or not believe (the hard spiritual choice and door number three for the child) this absurdity as a five year old, the spirit who makes the most difficult choice, is probably going to make the most spiritual progress. That goes for the child and each parent. We all make our spiritual journey alone to some degree, even when we are together as humans. However, without doubt, to utter such words and impose fear upon another being, even for their own safety and sake, is evil/misguided because its dishonesty promotes fear. From what I've been told, the goal of this exercise is to overcome the evil and choose to be your best spiritual self – always. In that manner, good nor evil is the ultimate goal, but only the mechanism to achieve the ultimate.

        In further explanation of this, mass evil has become so regular that we no longer recognize it if we are not clear about our connection to God. For example, the following is the definition of evil found in the Encarta World English Dictionary; 1999:"

ADJ.. - 1. morally bad – profoundly immoral or wrong. 2. harmful – deliberately causing great harm, pain, or upset as in "This evil act is clearly the work of terrorists". 3. Devilish – connected with the Devil or other powerful destructive forces as in evil spirits. 4. causing misfortune – characterized by, bringing, or signifying bad luck as in an evil omen 5. malicious – characterized by a desire to cause hurt or harm – an evil mood 6. disagreeable – very unpleasant – What an evil smell!

NOUN 1. wickedness – the quality of being profoundly immoral or wrong 2. evil, Evil force causing harmful effects – the force held to bring about harmful, painful, or unpleasant events as in a struggle between good and evil.

        What happened between 1953 and 1999? Why has a public information source decided to bias the thinking of the reader in this manner. Why didn't Webster do it before? What is happening here and who is seeking to influence whom in this situation? What door did the person who cleared the words "This evil act is clearly the work of terrorists" choose when presented with doors number one, two and three by God?

        These are United States books according to the copyright information. Presumably, they are created by US, or at least English, people, and are primarily for U.S. domestic distribution first, and then foreign distribution. The US has one of the worst track records of human rights violations of any country in the world against African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and women. Native Americans have been killed off intentionally with "small pox blankets" and poisoned water supplies, hunted down and slaughtered en masse – men, women and children; African Americans have been enslaved, beaten, hung, shot, sprayed with water, bombed, slaughtered on slave ships, pregnant stomachs of black mothers slit open while they were still alive and hung, and Asian Americans have been imprisoned, killed and degraded at will in the history of this country. And yet is there anyone who thinks that this dictionary is alluding to US citizens when it refers to terrorists? Not hardly.
 
       This is a clear example of choosing door number one, the seemingly easy one. Someone in Encarta who had final control, decided that this not so subtle dissemination of biased information was appropriate, thereby influencing who knows how many minds that take in this data and supporting popular thinking about who terrorists are as it calls on the popular version of a definition of a terrorist – which at that time was foreign (from another country), usually a person of color, politically or religiously driven, and anti American or European. But what does that do to all those minds absorbing this information? So the logical question becomes whether or not the word "terrorist" in association with "evil" further explained the meaning of evil, or did it just give us something to focus on that furthered somebody's agenda in this situation. There is no mention of the etymology of the word or its origin country, which happens to be France. Below is the Wikipedia version found on the internet under "define terrorist - etymology", at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist.

        Main article: Definition of terrorism"
The term "terrorism" comes from the French word terrorisme, which is based on the Latin language verbs terrere (to frighten) and deterrere (to frighten from). It dates to 1795 when it was used to describe the actions of the Jacobin Club in their rule of Revolutionary France, during the so-called "Reign of Terror". Jacobins are rumored to have coined the term "terrorists" to refer to themselves. Acts described as Jacobin Club "terrorisme" were mostly cases of arrest and execution of opponents as a mean of frightening the "enemies of the Revolution".

The United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention has proposed a short legal definition —that "[an act of terrorism is] the peacetime equivalent of a war crime." A US court found that "the malice associated with terrorist attacks transcends even that of premeditated murder." Flatow v. Iran: Order. CA No. 97-396 (RCL)"

    Both the Webster and the Wikipedia version have more broad and inclusive points of view about this subject area, but Encarta seems quite comfortable making the choice of delivering somewhat biased information as if it is neutral. In fact it seems to use this methodology often when defining what it seems to consider subjective definitions which define manner of thinking or seeing the world, and yet does not do the same thing when defining seemingly less flexible definitions
 
       What does all this mean in the spiritual sense? Somebody or bodies at Encarta opened door number one, and bypassed doors number two and three. They did not challenge themselves and their beliefs in order to deliver the most neutral explanation of "evil", and then built further on their lack of neutrality with the supporting definitions. Why? Was it so much work to try and give a neutral point of view considering the weight a dictionary has, or did someone, or some people make the choice to stop at their own limited thinking and agenda? Part of why we are going to hell in a hand basket as a world, is because we have become spiritually lazy and arrogant. From a spiritual standpoint, they might have taken what looks like the easiest door. Each action, that each of us takes, affects so many more than just ourselves. Think of all the young minds that have been influenced by this limited point of view, and loaded direction.
 
       There is one more thing about this kind of slant toward uneven actions. God looks for us to correct ourselves and choose the right door. What is happening lately, is that too many of us, too often, choose door number one and so the world is all out of whack and destroying itself. We have been mislead by some religions to believe that magically, God will save us and we will all be alright no matter what kind of mess we create here with our bad decisions. Think again. I have it from the horse's mouth so to speak. It ain't necessarily so . . .

The Issue of Power

When God wants you to get a particular message or theme in your life, I've noticed that it comes to you from multiple sources, back to back. Sometimes it comes in different forms that don't seem related, but if you watch this phenomena over years, you can go back and see exactly how the lesson was delivered.

For instance, understanding power clearly has been the lesson for me to focus upon this week, for myself, and for this blog apparently, because it has come up four times this past week. That's how God works, through a system some people call synchronicity, which is actually "hints" to pay attention to for those who can't hear directly,  and for those who can. The seeming coincidental events are actually messages about what is important, and should be paid attention to at this time, for whomever is experiencing the activities placed before them by the master chemist, God. For those of you who have read my book The Next God, I talk about this to some degree, the nature of God and our lessons.

So the lesson for this week began with my radio blog  August 15th, which was the discussion week about The Next God, with my readers, which we do once a month. A caller, a psychologist in Atlanta, asked about her clients who had been badly damaged through rape, and other atrocities and how they reacted to such. My answer was to say that our reactions, are always a matter of choice. She thought I was saying the "victim" was to blame, when I answered that most certainly not, but how the human spirit CHOSE to react to the situation was most definitely within their personal power and control, and it is. That is why one person can respond to rape by joining a rape prevention organization who helps others deal with it, and another person sits in their room for the rest of their lives and broods.

God designs our lesson plan in essence, from what I've been told, and we have to carry it out with the basic three directives:

Do no harm to self
Do no harm to others
Be the best human spirit that we can be at all times, and strive to grow always

So the issue of power within our particular lesson plan, as administered by God, is always available to us. We have the ability to respond to negative situations so that they work toward our growth, or not. When we remove a lot of the rote, taught, nonsensical noise from our heads in the form of teachings that do not honor these three primary directives, we increase our personal power exponentially. That means from whatever source it comes.

So I got the feeling that power might be the theme for the week, but wasn't sure, when a MySpace friend who had listened to the show last week, wrote to say she enjoyed it, and thanked me for helping her understand (abridged version) the voices better, and that she in fact hears voices. As I read her note, and listened to her stages, I realized that she was having some of the same experiences I had early on this route toward clairaudience -clear hearing. Again, it was about her gaining her personal power to communicate with her Guardian Angel first, or at least hear her first. When God is making a point, She knows we need several hints.

So yesterday, I was looking for a new song for the site, to go along with this week's blog, which was loosely developing about personal power, and decided (yeah right, most of is it being led by God)  to look for Marcus Miller's music, which I like, but seldom know the names of the songs unless they were famous before his time, like Ella's or Miles Davis' songs. And so what do I see as I look at the choices? The song "Power", which is on here now - the theme song for this blog today.

Okay, so I'd have to be really dull not to get this set of hints and thus a directive since He has made it so clear. (For those of you who have not read my book, I refer to God as He/She or It, because that is what God is - all energies that are available, and that we can be created from, not a male figure reaching down from the sky, but a brilliant all gendered/species energy source, so I've been told)

So the power to handle the lessons put before us, is entirely up to us. Not that we can always attract the things that we want, because frankly, if it is not part of God's lesson plan for this lifetime for us, it won't happen, but when things do happen, how we react to them elevates or potentially lowers our vibrations, and thus progress. Though we are not allowed to truly go backwards from what I've been told, we can have momentary setbacks in our classroom, and not take the high road, but choose the low road. Most of us get back on track and exercise our personal power to right ourselves again and continue our journey of growth.

It is when we do not choose to improve our vibratory level by getting back on track with the three primary directives, that we lose our power, literally, and if we stay there too long, God may remove us from this body state, back to pure spirit form so that we can revamp, assess and come back with a new lesson plan, or an adjusted one. That is God's job, to guide and direct our growth. Ours is to grow, and therein lies our personal power, in growth. It is there, in that light of expansion and forward movement that we are most powerful.

If you take away the focus of good and evil as the most prominent reasons for our development, and look at it as what I've been told, earth (and others) as a classroom to develop our understanding of the three directives through varying and repeated lessons, according to how quickly we get them, then it makes your use of your own personal power to execute the three directives even more necessary. It makes it essential that you are strong and powerful so that you can progress.

Allowing that I am actually hearing the messages that I am, from the sources I am, then our continued spirits, whether in human packaging or pure energy form must make the most of our power each time we come back to learn the next lesson. Releasing the human package form (body death) is not punishment, but either the completion of the tasks well done, or God's mercy and removing us from a situation that we are losing our power to do the three directives well, and making our lessons greater, and harder in the future. God won't let us regress, so we go to the home dimension till the next semester. In other words, we leave here when we get the lesson right this incarnation, and we leave here when we are in danger of messing up the lesson this incarnation, all at God's discretion.

Understanding this, the only real power we have is in our own careful choices in what we initiate, and what we react to. Therein lies our strength, power and speed of progress in this spiritual journey engineered and monitored by the God of our universe.

Save Yourself First, Then The Rest of the World is EASY!
Current mood: rejuvenated
Category: Religion and Philosophy

When you can talk to continued spirits like I can, you ask a lot of questions about who we are, and why we are here. You get some answers too.

So the gist of what I have learned from them is that we have three major directives and purposes:

1 - To always do no harm to others
2 - To do no harm to ourselves
3 - To learn, and become the best spirits in human form that we can possibly be, so we can evolve

It is really pretty simple when you think about it, and just about everything I can think of, falls under those thee directives. It does however, require a massive shift in thinking, because it places responsibility for what happens to us, our own "salvation" if you will, squarely upon our own shoulders, where it should be frankly.

Well that changes the focus of spiritual actions and growth quite a bit. If those are the three directives, you can't go out "fighting for God" because you break the first directive. You can't accept abuse from corporations and politicians without recourse and attempts at such, because that breaks the second directive. And you can't go excluding people from your club, religion, race, and on and on, or watch animals or other humans starve to death so you can have a bigger house or worse, not understand that that is what happens when you want more and more and others have to give up more for you to have it, because that most certainly breaks the third directive.

So if all your discretions are not wiped away in one act, the only person standing alone, under the guidance of God, left to deal with the sins you do and the breaking of these directives, is uhhhhhh you!

What a novel thought!

To take full responsibility for your own actions, and your own behavior as we walk this road called life, living out what is essentially "school", in order to learn to do these things even better, each time we come here to learn it at a higher grade level.

If that's true, as I've been told it is, our purpose is to learn, and all other things that happen or occur are simply tools to help us do that. Changes the purpose of good and evil considerably, doesn't it? And it certainly changes the method for change from being talked at, to being proactive in our lessons.

So saving yourself first, from the misconceptions of teachings that work to make us more inclined to give up responsibility for our bad behavior, is the first, and biggest step toward saving not only ourselves, but all of our other human and animal spirits and plant and inanimate energies as well.

See, not so hard to save the world really! Save yourself first and the rest of us can follow.
