Straight From The Heart Dear Ground Crew: These past couple of months have been interesting. Even though Mercury was retrograde until the 18th of November, it seems like it started a couple of weeks early and may still be impacting us somewhat. It has been about six weeks since my last update. No, I have not sold this website or forgotten about you, I have had a busy schedule and have not had much time to communicate with the ground crew. We have also had a problem with our e-mails for those who are subscribers to the website. We are working on this problem and hope that our solution works. If you are not receiving e-mails from us you might just want to check the website for updates. I also appreciate hearing from you. It is not so rewarding to be writing and feeling like you are writing in a void.
What is exciting for me is my new meditation CD called “Welcome in the Light.” It is doing well and quite a few people tell me they are listening to it every morning. . It is assisting them with their spiritual practice and that was my intention. The CD has instructions about how and why to meditate, a ten-minute concentration meditation, and two 22 minute guided meditations.
I want to see more meditators on the planet. In a recent magazine article published in the December 2006-Februrary 2007 issue in Shift, At The Frontiers of Consciousness, by the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Stephanie D. Preston, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, wrote an article called, Averting the Tragedy of the Commons, An Ecological and Psychological Perspective. The article discusses “individual efforts to survive and the greater qualitative and quantities differences between (1) securing resources for one’s ones needs, (2) existing in a chronic state of fear that you do not have enough, and (3) using that fear to motivate preemptive action or disproportional force against others in order to feel more secure.” The difference in motives can create conflict. Look at what is happening with various wars on our planet.
“ . . . Empathy and the impetus to help are greatly increased when one feels similar to another. . . Recent research into the mind-body interaction suggests an alternative intervention that is known to increase empathy and compassion across the board, which may also reduce the primary need to fight over resources and make necessary responses more proportional to the actual threat.”
“Buddhism, in its more modern and less theistic form, employs meditation to improve health and well being. One important goal in Buddhist philosophy is to attain enlightenment and contentment by relinquishing one’s attachments to thoughts, desires, possessions and even self. It asserts that our excessive investment in self causes us to habitually brush aside temporary discomfort in an attempt to preserve the ego . . . Controlled studies have shown that incorporating meditative practice into Western daily life not only reduces stress and interpersonal conflict but also fosters positive states such as love, compassion, openness, and empathy.”
The upshot of this article is that if more people were meditating they would be less self centered and be filled with more positive emotions. Conflict on the planet would be reduced because people would care more about each other, would be less egocentric and materialistic. Reduced consumerism would reduce global conflict and have far reaching improvements on many levels of life.
In the long run the only way we will create peace on the planet is to create our own inner peace. Meditation is key to making this happen. One of my meditation students shared her experience of practicing meditation. She started meditating about eight months ago. When she first began she was obsessed with her two grown children, had arthritis, walked with a cane, took 16 medications a day and was always in pain. After about five or six months of meditating daily for 20 to 30 minutes, she is now pain free, walks without a cane and no longer takes any medications. She is no longer worried about her children constantly and does not have to go to the chiropractor regularly.
We are creating our own reality. We can create our healing and well-being and contribute to the healing of the planet, simply by focusing within. When we change our inner world the outer world also changes.
What kind of a world do you want to live in ground crew? Are we not here to help transform the planet? What are your dreams for your future and for the future of the Earth? What do you want life to be like five, ten or 20 years from now? How much longer are you willing to live with war? What are the new truths that are pulling at your heartstrings? How can you begin to live in greater truth and align this truth with your life?
As our Creator’s photon Light energy continues to accelerate our consciousness the consciousness of all of life is changing. As the old secrets are revealed the ego is stripped away. What does that leave? More Light shines on the darkness within us and around us. New opportunities and choices are created. We are creating new identities. We are becoming more unified and loving. We are setting the examples for our new Earth.
We are living in a state of grace. When we begin to realize how powerful our thoughts are and how exponentially powerful it is to meditate together, we will take back our planet. We are in this process now of rearranging our lives at the deepest molecular level to usher in the fourth, fifth and even higher dimensions. Consciousness is everything. It is about the energy of thought and awareness. It is connected to our DNA and to our Creator. When there is higher consciousness there will no longer be war. Think about it.
One of the reasons people are afraid to meditate is that they are afraid of what they will find inside of them. They are accustomed to so many distractions and have been told they were worthless for many lifetimes so they are afraid of themselves. Some feel abandoned by Prime Source and the Light Realms. Others have had fear of the inner connection driven into them by religious programming. This is paradoxical. The reason we are here is to know our selves. Through meditation we will know our selves and we will learn to love what is inside. What is inside comes from Source. It is pure and radiant love.
It is time to take action, to proact on our your own behalf. Take the next steps on your spiritual pathway to find peace within. Make your spiritual practice a commitment to yourself and your progress. When we leave the planet all that we take with us is our consciousness and our soul. We get asked about what we learned in our lifetime and if we learned unconditional love. How are you doing? Take the time to listen and learn. It will be worth it on all levels. |
