Off with the Old

My wish for this New Year - PEACE OF MIND

A New Beginning

How many of you
are still struggling with finances, relationships, addictions or guilt of some kind?  I am praying that each one of you will find the answers you are seeking.  I happen to believe that 2014 will be full of wonderment and miracles.  I say, goodbye and good riddance to 2013!  It's now off with the old and on with the new!

 

Forward, March!

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Express the One Truth and Awaken a Sleeping Planet.”

Teacher Ophelius: “Today’s message is one of universal truth – the common denominator that unifies all persons on the earth regardless of their gender, race, religion, nation or culture. It is true irrespective of beliefs, philosophies, or social conditioning, and remains the One Truth that can heal a world of all its maladies if such a truth were to be known to all peoples. It is the One Truth that the sages and prophets have pointed too, and man has searched for as long as he has walked the earth. In ignorance or denial of this universal truth, man has brought all forms of suffering to this world and until it is known to all, the people of earth shall continue to suffer.

“Everything that you can see, touch, hear, taste, and smell, is a part of this One Truth, it pervades all realities both seen and unseen, for there is nowhere you can go in all of creation where this truth is not present. All consciousness is a part of this One Truth and it is the very core essence of all meanings, values, and universal principals. Everything that is true, beautiful, and good is derived from this One Truth, and all that is false, ugly, dark, and evil, stands apart from it and in stark contrast to its light.

“The One Truth is present in life itself. It is in the pattern of all life and in nature. Its signature is written in the code of life. The One Truth is perfect and complete, and all that is imperfect and incomplete is drawn to it. The most desirable values of any man, woman, or child, are a reflection of this One Truth, and the expression of this thing we call love, is the interpretation of the divine expression that all people understand at the root of their being. All love, compassion, and mercy, are universal characteristics of the One Truth.

“It is the Will and desire of the One Truth to create, to explore, and to know itself by experiencing life in creative form, therefore, all that is alive and animated by Spirit is an individualized aspect of the One Truth seeking equilibrium with the divine Will. Since all spirits are aspects of this One Truth and intimately connected through its consciousness, there really is no separation from it, only a man’s beliefs, denial, or ignorance of his connectedness creates the illusion of separation and so he sees himself as alone and self-important, falsely needing to gratify the desires of his animal nature.

“It is in those persons (the individualized aspects of Spirit in form) who have awakened to the One Truth, that find themselves consciously aware and on a path moving inward toward the center of the One Truth. They are experiencing life and expressing the Will of this One Truth in imperfect form, yet learning and gaining wisdom along the journey as a way to make perfect and achieve equilibrium with Source. For it is in the journey, my dear friends, knowing this One Truth, that we fulfill the desire and the Will of that which we call “God,” that we become integrated with its light and become like Him. There is no purpose more vital on your world than to know the One Truth and your connectedness to that Truth.

“Express the One Truth and awaken a sleeping planet.

“Peace to you,

Stop struggling.  Simple, isn't it?  No, it's not but it is one of the secrets of the Universe.  What do you think prayer and meditation are all about?  It's quieting the noisy part of oneself down in order to connect with the small unseen that lies deep within and tethered to a Higher Source.  We are all about right angles, straight  unyielding and unbending lines.  When we allow ourselves to bend a little we open up a vast amount of opportunity just waiting to be accessed.   It's like the simple act of hooking up a bucket to a Maple Tree--you've taken the first step toward a sweet experience.  We have been conditioned to believe in certain ways.  Those who think out of the box are labelled as kook, different, ridiculed, demonized and cast off.  There were Ancients who knew the secrets to many things who went before us a long time ago.  Back then, we were closer to the Source of All Things.  We were more connected to the subtle harmony that flows back and forth throughout the Universe known as Yin and Yang.  A gentle tug to and fro of a balancing act.  Ego and Arrogance have a way of burying and stomping out powerful and simple Truths.  I believe we've reached the halfway point where these realities are coming back into focus once more.  Learn to bend like a willow reed.  For that is what it will take to get through Life.

Determinism or Randomness?

We were warned it was coming but we had no idea it would be as bad as it was - December 5, 2013 - we lay in bed listening to the  trees crackling and popping, their large limbs breaking off and hitting the ground in dull thuds.   My heart sank.  This narrow band of tortuous wicked weather took position over us, assaulting and showing no mercy as icy cold fingers gouged, raked and clawed their way across the land, hungrily shredding, ravaging and taking down 200 year old Mulberry Trees and tall stately Oaks.  In the morning the carnage was painfully evident.  A half inch of ice had toppled many trees and others bowed low to the ground in an icy homage to the Weather God that had just savagely visited them in the dead of night.  But how and why this particular weather event happened is still a mystery.  One meteorologist blamed the jet stream that had taken a curious turn.   The last ice storm we experienced was back in 2000.  Could it be that maybe, just maybe, we could expect another one of these horrific ice storms in thirteen more years?  The injury to the trees was grave and heartbreaking.  How many years they had stood watch, in all kinds of weather, silently secure in their own stead, and then in one dark night, mercilessly taken down, reduced to jagged shards of rubble.  Why, after all these years, was this particular time upon us to witness this utter devastation?  Was this cruel weather an act of Randomness or was it due to Determinism?  Look up Chaos Theory to find out more.

400,000 Year Old Human DNA

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/science/at-400000-years-oldest-human-dna-yet-found-raises-new-mysteries.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0

Skin Walkers

Have you ever thought about who created human beings?  Yes, we have the biblical account of Adam and Eve and how it all started.  But have you dared ponder another theory--that humans were seeded on this planet?  Just merely contemplating this and talking about it can raise someone's ire.  I mean, we've been told from birth how we all came to be.   How is it that we have certain groups of people  clustered together in uniquely different parts of this planet?  India, Pakistan and Bangladesh occupy the Indian continent while Asians--Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. are clustered closely together on the other side of a set of mountains; Europeans are predominately in what we know as Europe; Africans are predominantly on the African continent; Arabs and Persians predominantly occupy the Mid East.  Native Americans, in the millions, were predominantly scattered across the North American continent hundred of years ago.  Could it be that these separate and distinct groups of human beings were deliberately seeded onto these continents based on the uniqueness of their own special DNA?  That one group was created to be better suited to a cold environment whereas another group specifically created for a more hot and humid environment or a dry and arid location?  Science is in its adolescence trying to figure out the how and why we are here even though scientists tout some kind of a breakthrough every now and then.  There are forces and things in the universe and nature science just will not be able to crack, no matter how hard they try or how long it takes.  If you agree that we may have been seeded here, then who did the seeding?  And who created the seeders?  If we were seeded here then wouldn't it follow that there are other habitable planets that were also seeded?  Human beings' DNA and how they are constructed is unique to the planet they inhabit.  They walk around in a suit of skin covering a skeleton that houses a number of organs.  They are equipped to breathe a combination of gases--oxygen, nitrogen and other gases because that is what their air is made up of.  What if our air were different?  Wouldn't it follow that our DNA and our makeup would be suited to that new set of parameters?  What do you suppose others look like that come from distant planets?  If their atmosphere is very much like earth's then we can assume they may very well look a lot like us.  But, if their atmosphere is different, then we can assume they are going to look a lot different.  Do you ever pay any attention to how unique you are-- how your body is made--the vast conglomeration of many parts that all work together to get you from one place to the other, enabling you to show emotion, talk and think?   It took quite an intelligence to get this all together don't you think?  There are two halves to a human being.  One half is the body and the other half is spirit.  They are both intertwined yet separate and distinct, existing side by side.  One day and hopefully in the not too distant future, we will come to find out that we aren't the only Skin Walkers in the universe--that we have a vast array of distant cousins out there just waiting to make our acquaintance--Skin Walkers, just like us (well almost). 

On the Cusp

I can't help feeling that we're on the verge of something monumental.  A whirlwind that will blow our minds.  A huge discovery or a spiritual revelation.   Something that will transcend and dwarf anything we've experienced before.  I keep searching the web for that one clue, that one sentence, that one blog, that one thought that will trigger something hidden deep down in my unconscious--that will set me free.  Science keeps telling us that human beings have only been on this planet for maybe 10,000 years.  But evidence keeps cropping up to the contrary.   We are under the boot of control freaks who have censored us from accessing the farthest reaches of our own mind.  The result:  We have not yet attuned to who why and what we really are.  For the most part I believe that human beings are linear thinkers.  Very few exhibit lateral traits.  When will we awaken one morning to a new way of viewing our world and each other?  When will we take back that which is rightfully ours and always has been?  Who gave those nameless, faceless fiendish mortals the right to co-opt all that belongs to us, thus depriving us of what has been ours to keep all along?     

Illusion

Most of us have no time to ponder life's mysteries.  Between work and family we are squeezed.     This is a by-product of Western civilization--work till you drop.  It will take a transformation in  thinking, a way of living, to free us from this illusion.  We have choices in life.  We can choose to do something or choose not to.  Most of us are afraid to let go and take the first step.  Maybe some of us have been bloodied.  How many of us choose to live with our circumstances because it is the path of least resistance?  How many of us actually choose our own happiness, unhappiness?  How many of us tenaciously cling to the old way of doing things?  Fear is a great motivating factor that can be used as a weapon to keep people in line or prevent them from moving forward.  Fear of losing your job; fear of having to move; fear of what someone will think.  And incredibly, fear of success.  Isn't this a terrible waste of who and what we really are?  You know who you are and what you can contribute.    If we consciously choose to stretch our mind into birthing a better way of life for ourselves and our family, isn't this what we should be striving for?--Happiness, prosperity and peace of mind.  Have you thought about where you are, right now?  Are you happy?  Are you miserable?  Are there goals you would like to pursue but, because of reasons known only to you, you cannot move forward?   Thoughts are energy.  They are what make make us, who and what we are.  The old saying, "You are what you think" has much truth in it.  Close your eyes for a moment and ask yourself, "if achieving something is as simple as changing my pattern of thought, would I eagerly embrace this new method in order to move forward?  I believe you would.  Stop looking at the negatives and start focusing on the positives of what you want to achieve.  Then, do it.  Obviously there are things you must take into consideration.  But why is it, that deep down, you believe you do not have the right to be happy?  Is it because of conditioning, because your mind told you so?  Stop living under the old illusion that someone or some thing is always going to thwart your every move.  If you choose a new direction, thus shedding the old illusion, your thoughts will take you to the moon and back.  Start packing.

 

Life is an Onion

What happens when a well thought out plan goes awry?  What happens when you find out you've just been diagnosed with a serious illness?  What happens when you find that someone defrauded you and got away with it?  Do you steam about it?  Do you seek revenge?  Do you break down feeling sorry for yourself, wailing and bemoaning your fate?  We all experience problems in life but for many of us the hand we're dealt can be a huge blow.  The question is, "how to handle it"?  What exactly do you do when life throws you a curve ball?  How do you get through it?  The answer--make a plan.  Our emotions can get the best of us, thus muddying up our situation.  In order to arrive at a solution we must first assess where we are, where we are going, what our options are and the end result.  Maybe we need to seek legal counsel.  In the case of illness, maybe we need a second opinion.  Making a plan can be daunting.  Where do you start?  Who do you contact?  Where are the resources you need to put the plan together?  More importantly how do you derive the strength necessary to cope with your situation?  Seeing I have a little experience in this let me first state that your situation can seem intimidating, maybe almost insurmountable.  But it is nothing to be afraid of.  The first thing you need to do is take charge.  Don't let your situation take charge of you.    With every problem there is a solution.  It's hidden.  It's like peeling the layers off an onion.  When you first start you pick up the peeler and then the onion.  You begin to peel the onion.  You start out slowly, gaining a little momentum, a little more traction.   Pretty soon, one layer is gone and you realize you just found the answer to one of your questions.  Then another layer and another.  You're beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel where before it was all dark.  Finding answers takes time.  They just are not going to appear because you snapped your fingers.  If one were to look at this topic in a spiritual manner, I believe we could learn much from it.  There are lessons to be learned in any situation and yes some of them can be hard ones.  But from a spiritual standpoint there is something else that can be discerned.  A secure knowledge that you are not alone in your anguish.  That there is a higher intelligence who is watching over you and your situation, gently prodding you to the right person to the right organization in order to help you get through this.  We have family, we have friends and they can be very helpful.  But ultimately what will carry you through to a conclusion is the strength you receive that comes from a much higher source.  Pray and you will receive.                  

The House

This is the second time I’ve visited this house.   The first time I was alone but someone had accompanied me this time.  Who it was I couldn't tell.  The first time I had trouble navigating through the rooms because I needed to get my bearings.  This time it was different as I had been here before.  Silently, cautiously I glided down the dark passages and past yawning holes.  And there weren’t any Boogeymen to contend with.  Thank Goodness!  I felt at home and embraced the comforting energy that was radiating toward me.  It was warm and welcoming.  This wasn’t a bad house.  It was just very old, in disrepair and smelled of stale, musty bread.  So many forgotten dreams, such neglect.  I wondered what had happened.  Who were the previous owners and where were they now?  Unused, unwanted and cast aside, somehow this forgotten old relic of a house had connected with me.    If only someone had taken the time to care for it.   The rooms were full of muted, grainy light and dark grey shadows.  One minute they’d be there and the next minute they’d be gone.  They played tricks on you.  As I passed the yawning holes, the depth of color was so deep dark and impenetrable that you could lose yourself in it.  The kitchen had floor to ceiling windows at the far end that let in little light because they were so dirty.  It would make quite a difference if someone cleaned them.  I vowed I would do just that on my next trip.  The large kitchen felt oddly familiar, somehow.  Maybe it was reminiscent of my past when I lived with my grandparents on their farm.  Just past the kitchen was a short corridor leading to a massive suite.  You stood in the doorway to the entrance of this room and your eyes couldn’t believe how big it was.  It looked more like a ballroom.  It swallowed you up.  It had wooden floors and way down at the end of the room, on the left side, you could see turn of the century lounging chairs.  You know, the kind that are in the shape of a kidney bean.  They appeared to be a light pink in color.  There were floor to ceiling windows behind the chairs with dark colored drapes that reached to the floor.  Unbelievably there was water lapping softly at the far end.  You could see and hear the sound of waves from where you were standing.  I wasn’t able to investigate just how this was possible and from where this water originated.  It was most curious.

Put a Face on It

Does Evil have a face?  Would you agree these are all examples of Evil?  --War, Abortion, Violence, Cheating, Subjugation, Greed, Corruption, Abuse of Power, Depravity, Poverty, Lies.  We are spirits who are capable of doing either Good or Evil.  How is it then that someone can become so enamored with committing Evil acts that it wholly takes over the body and mind?  Can Evil be compared to some type of mind control drug?  Is Evil actually an addiction?   Is there a cure for Evil?  Maybe you unwittingly get hooked (or by accident) into doing something Evil and then find the results of your decision actually pleasurable, rewarding, maybe even gratifying that you continue down the same path.  For example, look at politicians--they are nobodies when elected to public office; they are full of fresh ideas on how to change the system, improve it and make things better for us all.   At least that's what they appear to aim for in the beginning.  But after years of hobnobbing with the elite, going to the best schools and universities, learning how to manipulate, lie, flatter and scheme to get whatever they want, all the while amassing more and more power and more and more money, they find they are hooked.  They just cannot stop themselves.  Can we put a face on Evil?  Think for a moment.  Evil feeds on itself.  If left unchecked, Evil will eventually rot and destroy everyone and everything in its path.

Spiritual Warfare

If you are not familiar with the term "Spiritual Warfare" I am here to tell you that it is not a figment of your imagination.  It is real.  As a Light Worker I am feeling that the times we're heading into are going to be deeply polarizing with spiritual energies increasing intensely as the old illusion we've been living under for many, many years is giving way to a new reality.  At the present time earth hasn't received an invitation to join with others across the galaxies because we have not yet fully ascended, spiritually.  But that is starting to happen right now.  We have a lot of demons hanging on to our coattails in the form of ignorance, control, power, deception, corruption and poverty to name just a few.  Earth is not just a blue ball hanging out in the universe, all by itself.  We are members of a vast multitude  of sentient beings across the universe who are issuing a wake up call to us by way of the many institutions and beliefs that we're presently witnessing going down.  People and humanity are finally seeing the lies they've been living under.  It's Off with the old and On with the new!  The message from our celestial neighbors is "It is time for earth to grow into a new reality of Light, Truth, Love and Compassion for all."  The dark side is not going down without a fight.  This is the time you must be on guard against those elements you cannot see.  They can take on many forms in order to bring you down and keep you from doing what needs to be done.  This is a time of immense energies being released and all of us  must be on our guard.  No one said this would be easy but we were aware of this when we signed up.  It is your destiny, my destiny, humankind's destiny that is on the line.  We must prevail.        

When the Light Bulb Goes Off

All of us are unprepared for life.  We come into this world not knowing who we are or the path we'll take.  It's only after a while that we get our bearings.  We experience problems, get kicked around,  abused, used by others.  There are very few of us who are pampered and protected but even these are still subject to the universes' metaphysical laws.  I've moved around quite a bit during my lifetime.  I've had personal experiences with both the angelic and demonic realm.   It was only after deep and meaningful prayer and cries for help that I received my answer as to what was happening around me and to me.  This morning I want to share with you just how the universe works as I've just gone through another experience involving time and space.  This is not the first.  Things eventually work out for the good if you just give the process some time.  There are subtle forces we cannot see, surrounding all of us.  Every once in a while these energies are revealed.   At that moment the universe opens up and we're able to glimpse its inner workings.   Have we all had experiences that seem to manifest themselves, out of nowhere?  That make no sense?  You're left wondering just how and why this thing happened.  Why am I going through all this?  We  want answers instantly.  When we don't get them, when nothing makes sense, we think about it, we fume over it, we get mad.  We don't realize that the wheel is slowly turning and the answers we seek are forthcoming--but only when the universe is ready to reveal them to us.  We need to be patient and realize we're operating on our own personal timetable while the universe is operating on another.  We haven't synched up yet.  Do not allow fear to have its way with you.  It takes time for the truth to be revealed.  The events and decisions that created and led up to the crisis you now find yourself in will be revealed and a resolution given.  Trust me.

The Trail of Tears

The Trail of Tears                                                                                                             

The long march, usually more than 1000 miles, in which thousands of Native Americans and others accompanying them perished, was known as the “Trail of Tears”.    

Although the forced removal of Native Americans began before the nineteenth century, the term “Trail of Tears” is most commonly associated with the “Five Civilized Tribes”. 

Shortages of wagons, food, livestock and other supplies made their march even more difficult, not to mention harsh, unforgiving weather. 

Native peoples included the Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw along with European Americans who had intermarried, 2,000 African-American freed men (slaves who had been freed by their owners) and other slaves, from their homelands in the Deep South to Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma.   

In 1831 the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek and Seminole, “The Five Civilized Tribes”,  were living as free and sovereign nations in America’s Southeast.

Five Civilized Tribes:  Those Native Americans considered “civilized” by Anglo-American settlers during the early colonial period (17^th century to early 18^th century) by adopting practices of western civilization including private property; permanent homes; agriculture performed by men, not women; education;  converting to Christianity.

The fixed boundaries of these autonomous tribal nations comprised large areas of the U.S. and were subjected to continued yielding of their rights to others, and annexation prior to 1830.  The reason was    they were pressured from squatters and the threat of military force in newly declared U.S. territories. 

As these territories became U.S. states, the state governments dissolved the boundaries of the Indian Nations within their borders and proceeded to expropriate the land.   These federally administered regions’ boundaries were in addition to Native Treaty claims which were ignored.    

With the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, President Andrew Jackson continued his political and military measures to remove these people even though former President George Washington and Henry Knox, who served under General Washington in the American Revolutionary War, were in favor of a gradual transformation which gained favor especially among the Cherokee and the Choctaw. 

But, the President chose to ignore the opposition and aggressively pursued the relocation of these people.          

In 1831 the Choctaws were removed; the Seminoles’ in 1832; the Creeks in 1834; the Chickasaws in 1837; the Cherokees in 1838.

By 1837, 46,000 Native Americans had been forcibly removed from their homelands thereby opening up 25 million acres of land for settlement by others.

The Trail of Tears was a tragic stain on this country’s history even as many European Americans and others voiced their strong opposition to it.          

Thousands died on this long march:  the old, the infirmed, sons and fathers, mothers and         

daughters, grandparents, newborns and children.

There is no way we can even begin to calculate the needless loss and suffering imposed upon these people and what they experienced.
