SHINING LIGHT & SENDING LOVE

The Bridge ~ Step 83 ~ Shining Light and Sending Love

Allow healing to occur no matter where it comes from

In working with the laws of manifestation, we have talked many times about seeing the end result from the beginning, and nowhere is that act more important than in healing our fellow travelers. When we see them in their highest light, we are, in fact, holding a vision of them already healed. This, along with invoking the Love of God, is the first principle of true healing. It is the way the Masters did it, but now many are learning this process today, even some of our indigo teenagers like Bonnie in the story below.

"I don't know," Ruby Jean cautioned. "You'd have to be very careful. It's awfully hard to tell how strong some of those branches are."

"Yeah," Bonnie echoed. "You'd have to be very careful. Maybe you'd better not."

"It's not so high. I'll bet I could get some nuts for us to eat," Jenny persisted, disregarding the warnings of the other two,. Then she began to shinny up the trunk to the first branches. "Look, it's not so hard!" As Bonnie and Ruby Jean looked up, a few leaves fell off of the branches down onto their faces.

"Jenny, Be careful!" R.J. pleaded again, but Jenny climbed even higher.

"It's no problem. I see a hole up here that I can get to in just a minute." Jenny stepped up onto a smaller branch and suddenly the branch gave way with a sharp cracking sound.

Jenny gave a surprised cry and grabbed at the lower branches as she fell, but she couldn't hold on. In an instant, she was on the ground, screaming in pain. Her left leg just below her knee was bent at a forty-five degree angle. An ugly damp red spot of blood began slowly saturating the leg of her jeans.
"Oh no! Jenny, are you okay?" Bonnie and Ruby Jean cried out as they ran to her. "Are you okay? What can do we do? What do we do now?"

"You run for help, and I'll stay here with Jenny," Bonnie fought to stay calm.

"Okay," Ruby Jean agreed, and she immediately sprinted off in the direction of her home.

What happened next wasn't witnessed by anyone other than the two squirrels up in the hickory tree. Ten-year-old Bonnie Moore had never been in a situation like this before. She didn't know what to do but she knew she had to do something. Jenny was lying there shaking and screaming and bleeding.

Bonnie knelt bent down and told Jenny that everything was going to be all right. She brushed Jenny's hair off her forehead and the fear and pain she saw in her friend's eyes tugged at her heart and made her want to cry. She could see that Jenny was getting paler and shaking harder with each passing moment and, more than anything, Bonnie wanted to help her. She could hear her father and mother telling her that she could do anything her heart believed in. She remembered a time when one of her dad's friends had gotten hurt. Her parents had been talking about his friend's healing and her dad had said, "You can help people heal by seeing them in their highest light. That's how the Master did it. He first envisioned them as well and whole so they could heal." And in that moment, Bonnie knew exactly what to do.

A serenity that she had never felt before came over her as she looked down at Jenny and, in her mind, she saw Jenny's leg as good as new. She rubbed her hands together and ever so slowly and delicately, she began to pet the broken leg. Stoking gently, calmly back and forth from the knee to the ankle, sometimes not even actually touching the leg. She began to speak. "Holy Father Mother God, I ask for light and love. I am shining light and sending love." She kept repeating these words over and over, continuing all the while to stroke the wound ever so lightly. "Shining light and sending love, shining light and sending love." Bonnie Moore knew that something good, something wonderful, was happening. It felt like a warm light was filling her body and directing itself through her heart and her hands into Jenny's mangled leg. Jenny's sobs subsided to whimpers as the pain abated and the warmth spread through her. She closed her eyes and, with a deep sigh, surrendered to her healing.

"Shining light and sending love, shining light and sending love." Bonnie wasn't sure how long she had been petting Jenny's leg when, expectedly, she heard a 'snap'. Jenny groaned, and the leg slowly began to move. The bleeding stopped and, as if by some unseen force, the leg continued to straighten. With a calmness belying her years, Bonnie kept chanting, "Shining light and sending love. Thank you Holy Mother Father God," as she continued petting and stroking gently.

Another snapping sound and all of a sudden Jenny's leg looked like it had returned to its normal position. Bonnie stopped stroking when Jenny suddenly sat up and reached to hug her. A few moments later, they pulled away from each other, and Jenny dryly said "I hate nuts anyway." sending both girls into uncontrollable giggles.

Ten more minutes went by and cries were heard from the distance. "Where is she? Oh my God,, where is she?" Running frantically, Jenny's mother and father, Rob and Liz Eastman and Ruby Jean appeared from around the bend in the trail, only to find Jenny and Bonnie standing there, hugging each other and laughing.

"Jenny, my baby, are you all right?" screamed her mother, seeing the blood on her daughter's pants.

"Sure mom, I'm fine." Jenny responded, as she tried to extricate herself from her mother's tight hug. "Really!"

Everyone was panting heavily, trying to catch their breath and figure out what had happened. Bonnie smiled sweetly at the people there. She had a peaceful look on her face, a glow in her eyes. "Let's go home and get something to drink. I'm thirsty" she said.

The bewildered group didn't say a word. They started walking back down the woodland trail, each cautiously checking Jenny to see if anything was really wrong with her. It was hard to believe that Ruby Jean would make up such a fantastic story about Jenny falling out of a hickory tree. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with Jenny. She didn't even walk with a limp. And yet, there was a large blood stain running down her pant leg. The three young girls walked hand in hand chattering away as if nothing had happened.

A short time later when they all stepped inside one of the partially completed Intenders barns, a crowd gathered around them. Liz Eastman took her daughter's face in her hands and looked into her eyes. "Ruby Jean, what made you do such a thing? It's not like you to make up something like that. You gave us all a terrible scare."

Everyone was listening. Ruby Jean's confusion was evident; she didn't know what to say.

"Young lady, can you tell us exactly what happened back there?"

All eyes were on Ruby Jean, awaiting a reasonable explanation, but it was Jenny who looked up at Liz and answered.

"Shining light and sending love, Mrs. Eastman," she said with a smile. "When I fell out of the hickory tree and broke my leg, Bonnie fixed it by shining light and sending love.'"
From The Intenders of the Highest Good, Volume 2 (Coming Soon)

The Course in Miracles says that we are healed as we let God teach us to heal. Isn't it time that we started practicing, in earnest? Won't it be wonderful when there are a whole bunch of us walking the Earth and healing each other?

My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am learning to heal my fellow travelers.

LAST CHANCE TO HELP DARFUR THIS YEAR

Dear sherrie,

It’s Not Too Late!

There is just one day left to make your tax-deductible year-end gift to Save Darfur.



Click here to make your gift and help bring peace to Darfur in 2008.

This is your last chance to make a tax-deductible 2007 year-end donation to help end the violence in Darfur.

We're just $174,287 away from our $450,000 goal. Will you help us reach it by making your tax-deductible 2007 year-end gift before midnight tomorrow?

As we head into the final hours of 2007, Darfur is still without a lasting peace.

Yet, as we look back on the last year there is no doubt that, together, we've made critical strides towards ending the violence in Darfur. Thanks to you and one million other Save Darfur activists, we have:

Put tremendous pressure on Congress, the White House, the United Nations, and China to use their power and influence to help end the violence;
Pushed for the strongest peacekeeping force and the quickest deployment possible; and
Helped build a successful national divestment movement to withdraw funds from companies helping to support the genocide.

Although we've made a great deal of progress this year, our job is far from over.

Right now, United Nations and African Union peacekeepers are poised to help but Sudanese President Bashir is blocking their deployment. And, despite their declarations of support for the people of Darfur, President Bush, Chinese President Hu, and other world leaders are allowing Bashir's delays to continue, prolonging the suffering in Darfur.

We need your help to put a stop to Bashir's delays and make sure that peacekeeping forces reach Darfur in 2008.

Please make your donation before midnight tomorrow to help bring peace to Darfur in 2008.

Thank you for your generosity and your continued dedication to the people of Darfur.

Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year from all of us here at the Save Darfur Coalition.


Best regards,


Colleen Connors

ARE WE BACKBITING?

The Bridge ~ Step 82 ~ Backbiting

Pretend you're above it, looking down from a mountaintop

It's real easy nowadays to find yourself in conversations where people are talking about other people, saying things they probably wouldn't say if the other person was there. What most people don't understand is that gossiping has the same effect on those we talk about that sickness does. It works against them. Just as when we talk about Aunt Flora's bad knees and, in doing so, we make her knees worse, so do we make things worse for people we backbite. But with backbiting, there is an added detriment: we make things worse for ourselves, as well.

It works like this: If we are talking about a neighbor, for instance, it is because we've first been entertaining thoughts about that person. As you're learning, thoughts are invisible but very potent, nonetheless. And they are received - always - by whoever we're thinking about. So, if we're thinking about being wronged by our neighbor, we are actually reinforcing our neighbor's "wrongful" behavior. We're adding to it, and here's the kicker. If, when we are backbiting or gossiping about the neighbor, we are standing in opposition to them in anyway, we are also becoming just like them.

You've seen this often. When someone is complaining about another person you know, if you look closely, you can see them beginning to act just like the person they're complaining about.

The best thing to remember in these situations is that we become like whoever (or whatever) we place our attention upon. It's the Law, whether we are aware of it or not. Once we truly understand that we're becoming like the person we're backbiting - and that we are also reinforcing their discordant behavior - shouldn't that give us pause to reconsider our own actions?



The deepest desire
of every one of us
is to know that we are loved,
to know that our world will feed us
and give us all that we need
just as it freely surrounds us
with the air we breathe
the water we drink
the land we walk upon
Constantly giving to us
like a parent to a child


We harm ourselves and others in ways we don't realize when we backbite or gossip. Wouldn't it be better if we were to use our precious time and energy on a creative endeavor that fulfills us and makes us happier? And what would happen if, instead of giving in to our fears of lack and losing (which is why we gossip in the first place), we were to think kindly thoughts of our neighbors? That's what will give us the results we truly desire for ourselves.


My Intention for today is:


I Intend that am rising above any behavior that isn't serving me and my fellow travelers.

HELP BRING PEACE TO DARFUR IN 2008

Dear sherrie,

Help Bring Peace To Darfur In 2008

Together, we can end the violence.

Make your tax-deductible 2007 year-end gift today.

With just three days left before the ball drops, time is running out to make your tax-deductible year-end gift to the Save Darfur Coalition.

Activists like you have made real progress in the past year – but our work is not done.

We're still $294,694 away from our $450,000 goal. Will you make your tax-deductible gift before 2007 ends to help us bring the peacekeepers to Darfur in 2008?

As the suffering continues, I know that the situation in Darfur can frustrate even the most committed activists at times. But you must not lose sight of our progress!

In the past year, with your help, we have:

Pressured the United Nations to ensure the strongest possible United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force;
Convinced Congress and the White House to uphold America's commitment to the people of Darfur by agreeing to fund the peacekeeping mission;
Increased the economic pressure on Sudan by helping to pass legislation that protects states' and local governments' rights to divest from companies that help fund genocide; and
Urged China and other countries to stop aiding the genocide.

But keeping Darfur at the top of the world's list of priorities takes serious resources and we need your support.

Please help bring peace to Darfur by helping us reach our $450,000 goal by December 31. Click here to make your tax-deductible year-end gift today.

You're part of a tremendous movement - more than one million people strong - dedicated to restoring peace to Darfur. Together, we can and will help end the violence.

Thank you again for your dedication to making Darfur’s future a peaceful one.

Wishing you a Happy New Year from all of us here at the Save Darfur Coalition.

Best regards,

Colleen Connors

CORRECTED UPDATE BY SHELDAN NIDLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation
12 Cauac, 12 Mol, 3 Manik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selamat Jarin! We come to you on this date to give more information about the grand things planned for your ever-changing reality. Despite the rising tide of chaos, your world is nevertheless slipping into its destined future. The last dark cabal remains adamant in its strategies and continues on its doom-laden path. The US media, also, persist with their nonsensical reporting of global events. Meantime, our Earth allies move forward with a series of projects that are now on the very brink of fulfillment. The goal of these projects is the release of those funds that give sustenance to the Light's supporters and simultaneously permit the prosperity deliveries to go forth en masse. It is our desire to assist these efforts. Our many liaison teams are wholly dedicated to ensuring that these essential funds as well as a number of regime changes happen as directed by the Divine. In line with these efforts, a range of important legal adjustments is being affected, which are to enhance the economic and socio-political changes now so deeply longed for by your world.

These subtle changes are enabling our Earth allies to plug the remaining loopholes in our grand plans for removing the dark. In other words final tactics are now being applied to settle the international legal issues involved with the funds and their transfer to you. All outstanding hitches are being rapidly resolved and made secure. These are not times for sudden untoward surprises to pop up and spoil the expected outcome; so we put into play a substantial amount of our expertise and are advising our allies on what needs doing moment by moment. We are gratified that they are using this intelligence wisely and are prudently applying it to accelerate the success of their cause. We have also requested their former overlords, now called the Anunnuki, to apply additional pressure upon this last cabal. This pincer movement means that our joint agenda is moving forward, and we can thus assure you that the "first domino" is getting very close. Those involved in the removal of the current US regime are also ready to push forward once their "green light" is given.

Mother Earth is also busy preparing herself for the vast changes contemplated by Heaven. For nearly 13 millennia, she has been forced to contort her body in ways that were required for the continued existence of her prized limited-conscious humans. Her magnificent sacrifice is now nearing its end, and she is looking forward to her return to her former fully conscious self. To this end a number of portents of earth changes have been provided, and those who pay attention to these signs realize that we are indeed close to a transformation of this reality. They also understand that these change are divine in nature. In light of this these wise souls have used their authority to give a warning to others that something quite incredible is at hand. Your world needs to comprehend that what is happening is a grand shift on all levels of consciousness. Love is Light, and it is this divine energy that is accomplishing its handiwork in the sacred space called physicality! Here, it seeks to move you in one great surge to the next prophesied reality.

The world of illusion you live in is not as solid or as changeless as you were taught to believe; it is what the Hindus call "Maya," and is governed by the Divine and by your True Selves. It is this sacred council that has decreed the great changes that is happening around you. You are to move to a world that your dark manipulators have relegated to the realms of myth and impossibility. But changes to your world are becoming increasingly apparent each day, while the reality created by the dark gets steadily more untenable. At every hand disasters are waiting to happen: The biosphere is becoming almost too toxic to support life; mass extinctions of whole species of plants and animals are underway; and Mother Earth's upper atmosphere grows more unstable, resulting in drastic global climate change. This affects your oceans by indirectly changing the pathways of major ocean currents.

These adjustments of your atmosphere and oceans are upping the pressures Mother Earth is putting on human society. This is done not out of malice but Love. Humanity is getting a "heads up" and must respond with a path of action! In the same vein our increased exposure in your skies is another sign that the world you have known is reaching a point of change. This process is further emphasized by the changes happening within each one of you. On top of all this are our weekly messages to you, aimed at giving you the means to pull the bigger picture together and to understand the extent of these changes. Nevertheless, despite our many messages you need to hone your faculties of discernment: As you look around, see beyond surface appearances; take information from all quarters (personal observation, Internet, reading etc.) and weave it all together. You will find that some amazing patterns begin to emerge.

The first thing to strike you is likely to be that massive change to your consciousness and your reality is incontestable! Next, you may perceive that the invincibility of the dark is manifestly crumbling. Your world is moving at its own pace toward something completely different and quite grand. Our medical teams notice a marked increase in your perceptive abilities, which means that you are accepting this change. And yet, somehow, you are still reluctant to fully embrace what you read, see, or even feel. This is hardly surprising given the intense; misleading indoctrination you are given by the Anunnaki and their minions. You are now, in effect, grappling with opposing value systems. Eventually, you are destined to break free and take on a set of new core perceptions concerning reality. And yet, what may seem quite fantastical to you now is merely the beginning of what you are destined to learn!

The investigation of the UFO cover-up takes you on a trip that reveals your off-world origins and shows the falsity of your stories of earthly evolution. Then you cannot help but look at your reality with new eyes. Now you will be able to focus on new insights and be ready to question how and why your present reality was shaped some 13 millennia ago. This then brings you to the next leg of the journey, which is to knit all the new facts into a whole. Now you have a structure from which to winkle out the falsities of your indoctrination and replace them with the new facts. This process feeds your growing faculties of discernment and readies you for the next step; namely, to be on the watch for "traveling companions" who can help you put the pieces of the puzzle together; and it is this skill that teaches you about the importance of sharing with others.

This next step of forming community and educating others is where most of you are right now. The remainder of the galactic year needs to be devoted to interaction. From now on, your solitary path of exploration that got you to this point needs to be more outwardly manifested, and we wish to encourage you now to take this next step. We realize that it is not easy for some of you to come forward and allow your discerning wisdom to come into the open. To help you in this, Heaven and the First Contact Team are firmly behind you. We ask that you summon your already proven resources of courage to form groups, which at first can be support and information groups. As mentioned before, resources are covertly being prepared to support you as you grow into this next phase of your mission. Remember, Together, We are indeed Victorious!

Today, we continued our discussion about what is truly happening around you. All signs indicate the swift approach of a grand change in your reality and of first contact. This pivotal event marks the boundary between your present and your golden new reality! We now retire. Know in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love and Joy!)

CEREMONY

The Bridge ~ Step 81 ~ Ceremony

Ceremony ignites the spark of enthusiasm.
It ignites the light of willpower.
It gives man the strength to carry on,
to move forward, to have motivation.


When you get into one of those moods where you feel like you can't make a difference, or like your life is out of control, you can always turn to ceremony to give you a boost. Indeed, that's one of the great things about ceremony: it catapults you up and out of your apathy. It ignites the spark of willpower within you. Ceremony is like medicine for the lost soul.

Of course, an Intenders Circle is an easy, empowering ceremony that is guaranteed to bring you out of your doldrums. What could be simpler than getting a few of your friends together, sitting in a circle, saying what you're grateful for and what you intend outl oud into the circle, dedicating it all to the Highest Good, and doing a Oneness exercise when you're done? Your apathy doesn't stand a chance, especially once your intentions have begun to manifest for you.

Many cultures have wonderful ceremonial traditions, not the least of which are the Native American tribes. They offer so many sacred ceremonies, in fact, that you can choose among many of them.

Just before Mark, Tina, Betsy, and I started The Intenders, I had been living in Hawaiian Acres, putting together a piece of property and making it my home. I was living alone and life had gotten into a routine that was dictated by the rains that came down the mountain every afternoon, leaving me to hang out in my little coffee shack reading or just thinking most of the time.

Almost on a whim, I decided to take a few of the large rocks that were left over from a retaining wall I'd just finished building and make a Medicine Wheel in my backyard. I placed them in a perfect circle, just like the Native Americans, and began to walk around the Wheel everyday. I asked, while I walked, for an acceleration of my spiritual evolution (and, as I said, right after that The Intenders were born.)

I tested several different ceremonies to see which ones I liked the best, and eventually settled on the one I still use today. It was taught to me by a Kahuna from South Point who used it to purify the people who came to him for healing. Since it's had such a beneficial effect on me, I'll share it with you now.

I enter the Medicine Wheel from the East, giving thanks, calling forth the Highest Good, and asking permission to walk. If it doesn't feel right I don't walk that day, but that is very rare. Then I walk around the inside perimeter of the stones clockwise 5 times: the first time (as I walk), thanking and blessing The Holy Father; the second time, thanking and blessing The Divine Mother; the third time, thanking and blessing all of God's Holy Angels; the fourth time, thanking and blessings all Beings everywhere; and the fifth time, thanking and blessing myself.

When I've finished my fifth walk around the Wheel, I end up in the exact center, facing East and I say my Intentions. Sometimes I envision a pillar of light going up from the Medicine Wheel and that my Intentions are broadcast out from it to the Universe. I always give thanks to Great Spirit/God/The Highest Good (your choice) again before I exit the Wheel at the same place I came in from.

Another variation of this, if you don't have enough space for building a Medicine Wheel in your yard, is to become your own priest. Start out by getting some real salt, not the standard table salt, but some Himalayan or Celtic or Red Hawaiian Ala'e salt. Now draw yourself a nice warm bath. Before you get in, however, kneel down beside the tub and swirl the water clockwise 5 times with your hand, each time blessing it in the name of 1. The Holy Father; 2. The Divine Mother; 3. All God's Holy Angels; 4. All Beings everywhere; and 5. Yourself. Then, add 5 pinches of salt to the bathwater, each time blessing and making your dedications like you did when you swirled the water. Now, get into the bath and soak as long as you like.

Before you get out, give thanks again and say, "I ask that anything unlike Love, anything unlike God, leaves my body now and goes into this water, and (as you get up and pull the stopper from the tub) that it goes down the drain and into the Earth to be purified and transmuted into its highest and best use."

Now . . . you've just become a priest. You've made a tubful of Holy Water and soaked in it to your heart's delight. One thing is certain. After you get out of a tub like this, you'll feel better than you've felt in a long time.


My Intention for today is:
I Intend that whenever I feel encumbered or apathetic I am using ceremony to purify myself.

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS

Subject: One Day After Christmas...

One Day After Christmas...

It's one day after Christmas
I'm crabby and I'm broke.
I'm so full of ham and fruitcake
I think I'm gonna croak.

It's nice to see the relatives
I wonder when they'll leave.
They've been camping in my bathroom
since early Christmas Eve.

They're eating everything in sight
and sleeping in my bed.
I been sacked out in the basement
with my beagle, Fred.

The relatives have all gone out
and left their screaming brats.
The toilet bowl is all plugged up
and I can't find the cat.

It's Christmastime at my house,
the relatives are here.
They eat me out of house and home.
and drink up all my beer.

I love the decorations,
and the sleigh bells in the snow
But I wish those pesky relatives
would take their kids and go.

Those cookie crunchers fed the dog
a twenty pound rib roast.
His feet are sticking in the air
like skinny old fence posts.

Now they're in a free-for-all,
the girls against the boys.
They're fighting over boxes
'cause they're bored with all their toys

My mother-in-law is snoring
in my favorite TV chair.
Those kids are stringing lights on her
and tinseling her hair

I oughta wake her up
before the fireworks begin.
But I wanna see those blue sparks fly
when they plug them in

BEST WISHES FOR 2008

Subject: Best wishes for 2008

Today...I wish you a day of ordinary miracles -

A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make
yourself.

An unexpected phone call from an old friend.

Green stoplights on your way to work or shop.


I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in...

The fastest line at the grocery store.

A good sing along song on the radio.

Your keys right where you look.


I wish you a day of happiness and perfection-little
bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny
feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, and holding
you so gently because you are someone special and
rare.

I wish You a day of Peace, Happiness and Joy.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but
then an entire life to forget them.

Wishing you the very best for 2008

FLEXIBILITY

The Bridge ~ Step 49 - Flexibility

You can, at any moment, transmute your karma

We, as human beings, tend to think that our destiny is set in stone; that we are stuck in an endless tape loop of experience after experience leading to who knows where. We've been told that we set "causes" in motion long ago and we must live out the effects of those causes in our daily lives whether we like it or not.


There's only one problem with this line of thinking. It is a limitation and we have come here at this time in history to rise above all limitations and to express ourselves fully.


So, how do we transmute our causes? Well, for openers, we Intend it!



You are learning that once you intend something,
and it is in your highest and best good,
it will make itself available to you.
If, however, you are still believing in fear or suffering
more than you believe in the highest good,
you will be experiencing more of that.


From The Code: The Reunion - A Parable for Peace



We limit ourselves immensely when we think that things cannot change. In truth, change is the one constant in the Universe that we can rely on. There is nothing we cannot change - even our karma.



My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am an unlimited Being.

EMBRACING UPLIFTMENT

The Bridge ~ Step 73 ~ Embracing Upliftment

We don't have to continue to believe what we were
taught when we were young.


It's all in what we embrace. Those who embrace scarcity shall be subjected to it; those who embrace sickness shall experience its ill effects; those who embrace violence shall perish by it; but those who embrace Love and a caring Spirit shall be embraced by Love in return. What we put out is what we get back. If you find that you've been attracting challenges and discomfort into your life, you can start out by making an intention to be more gentle with yourself from now on.


Whenever you're feeling weak or feeling down, you can draw on the energy and power that comes from the spark that lives deep inside of you, the spark that animates your entire being. Call it up! If you need to sing, sing loudly. If you need to pray, pray loudly. If you need to tone, tone proudly. Do whatever it takes to lift your Spirit so you can look down and see your life, playing itself out. Then you, the person in charge, can watch and decide what is best for you.


From The Intenders of the Highest Good



Remember that when you lift yourself up, even in the slightest degree, the whole of Humanity is lifted up in the same measure. You lift all of Humanity up when you reach out for your greatest happiness. Who knows, maybe one day soon you'll cast aside a last lingering belief surrounding your scarcity, sickness, or suffering and, in that joyous moment of release, it will be just enough for the whole world to breach an ancient barrier and be lifted up to its next level of experience. So Be It!


My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am embracing that which is uplifts me
and my fellow travelers.

GROWING UP

The Bridge ~ Step 80 ~ Growing Up


The world you live in is splitting apart.
The old selfish ways are collapsing and, at the same time,
the new spiritual ways are emerging, heralding a better life for all



Remember when you were a child and everything was bright and new? As you began to explore your world you looked around at all of the adults and wondered why they acted like they did. They did so many strange things that were making them unhappy.

Later on, as you grew in size and age, choices about what is real and what isn't presented themselves to you, and you told yourself that, for a time, you would play with certain illusions. You knew down deep in your heart that many of the things you believed in were not the truth, but you came to be enamored with them anyway. They made life in society easier for you because everyone else was also believing in the same illusions - illusions about the nature of ownership, time, what groups you identify with; who you really are, and so forth. These were the things that were so clear to you when you were a child. You knew they were untrue, but you decided that someday you would set these games and illusions aside when they were no longer useful to you.

The interesting point to all of this is that when the time came to discard these games or illusions as no longer useful, we found ourself continuing to use them anyway. We didn't seem to be able to stop using them. Oh, sometimes we'd catch ourself and we'd know that what we just said or did wasn't true, but nobody else seemed to notice, and life just went on and the years went by. There would be moments when we were sure that it was time to put all of these illusions away and return to the truth and innocence we knew so well when you were young. These moments began to come closer and closer together and we ran into others who were also talking about putting aside these same illusions which no longer served them.

And now, we're beginning to realize that our whole life must come into its integrity if we are to evolve and be happy. Our whole being cries out for truth. We catch ourself every time we speak falsely or argue on behalf of our illusions - and we pay a high price to continue as we have done for years. Those who require us to uphold our illusions in order to remain agreeable and friendly are clearly not on the same path as us. We intend freedom. We intend peace. We intend our environment clean and beautiful. And we intend true happiness - the happiness we knew as a child.



My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am letting go of any beliefs and values that aren't serving me anymore.

MESSAGE FROM MATTHEW

December 23, 2007

MATTHEW: I bring you loving greetings from the heavenly hosts! How we wish you could hear the music of the spheres as you celebrate the holiday season— if everyone on Earth could hear these tones of celestial magnificence, your world would be instantly transformed into a planet of love and peace. Hark—that is coming! We are rejoicing as we view the vestiges of negativity on Earth being transmuted into light and the buds of long-awaited changes beginning to blossom in fullness.



For ages the tap root of deeply entrenched darkness on Earth was hidden. When that core of the system was shaken loose in recent decades, its far flung roots tried to hold firm its secret mooring. Then those roots started shaking too and became a possible threat to the viability of the whole system. Over the years, the threat grew into a probability, then the actuality, and now the once titanic tap root with its flourishing widespread network is flailing in death throes, its withering tendrils futilely trying to escape the light’s brilliance. This is an allegorical depiction of the changing nature and lot of Earth humankind, changes that are being observed with growing excitement throughout the universe.



Down to Earth, the mixture of emotions during this season always is heightened. Whether celebrating religions’ holy days or secular festivities, the collective spirit of people with family and friends glows like billions of candles burning brightly. On a level that is not obvious to you, but is a great part of the light intensity generated, is the radiance we see in your sharing, caring and compassion for the masses of souls who are alone, homeless, grieving, in combat zones or hospitals, or enduring near intolerable hardships, and for whom this season is but a sorrowful reminder of better times. More so than ever before in your history, the outpouring of loving energy for these ones is in such abundance that our hearts are singing in exaltation!



Now for an overview of what you will see during your calendar year 2008 as undeniable evidence that the patterns of behavior and systems of the old ways are tumbling to make way for the new. Disclosures in mainstream media—where truth still is sparse in the plethora of omissions and misleading information—are only the tip of exposures so plentiful that when they come out, it will seem more like an eruption than an emergence as peoples demand an end to pervasive corruption and oppression. Yet, be mindful that what is transpiring is reformation, not revolution, and although changes ultimately will be profound, they will come within the just laws and orderliness of a civilized society and not the untenable disarray of anarchical upheaval.



All happenings are due to the frequencies Earth has reached in her ascension. The raising of consciousness and spiritual clarity enabled by these higher vibrations is reason to leap with joy, but in the short term, some effects may be unsettling. Physical anomalies, depression, fatigue and confusion may be due to bodies adjusting, but please do not assume that is the cause of discomfort. Proper treatment may be necessary, so consulting trusted health care specialists and using natural remedies is sensible, but chemicals prescribed to calm you down or cheer you up will only create more havoc with your systems’ electromagnetic currents, which are incompatible with those chemicals. Assist your bodies by drinking a lot of pure water.



Another noticeable effect of the frequencies is changing attitudes and behavior as all characteristics and emotions are being magnified—in easiest terms, “good” is getting better and “bad” is getting worse. Positive outlooks and characteristics are blooming beautifully, enhancing relationships in families, workplaces and communities. Conversely, the veneers of acquired traits like diplomacy and feigned philanthropy are wearing thin and the less admirable basic nature is showing, just as will all instances of falsity and self-service.



In a similar vein but from a different source, hearts and minds are stirring with sensations that changes are needed in personal relationships, type of work or living environment, or perhaps a complete change of lifestyle. These usually derive from strong soul level nudgings to get on with other choices in the pre-birth agreements that require different circumstances from those already experienced.



Planetary cleansing via earthquakes and storms will continue until Earth is rid of the negativity amassed over the ages of brutality and bloodshed, thus it is wise to be prepared with sufficient typical emergency supplies to weather these kinds of events. Please remember that soul contracts are what govern physical safety and survival—do not let fear be the motivator for moving to a “safer” location. Do not let fear into your lives at all! This is a good place to mention that “global warming” is Earth’s return to the predominantly moderate climate that once prevailed worldwide.



From a variety of obvious causes, many, many souls will continue to transition from Earth to spirit life, and with each one’s departure, grief and missing the physical presence will befall family and friends. One day not too distant, when telepathic communication again will be commonplace on Earth, everyone will know that the leave-taking is by the soul’s choice in agreement with all primary persons in that lifetime and LIFE is an unending cycle of incarnations, then residence in a spirit world, within eternal love bonds.



Despite the highly publicized war-mongering rhetoric that is meant more to arouse fear than to undertake action, armed conflicts will ease, then cease as bellicose national leaders are ousted and lighted souls step in to govern in peace. Peoples will start enjoying the liberties and better living standards so long denied them, and a cooperative spirit of working in harmony for the good of all will replace current conflict, anger, jealousy and ruthlessness. This too will be a transition, not godliness blanketing the planet in one fell swoop, and patience a bit longer will serve you well.



The unconscionable inequality between rich and poor is coming to an end as the global foundation for financial dealings that has caused this disparity is coming apart at the seams. The largely unrecognized bankruptcy of the United States unavoidably will have domino effects, and the economies of many other nations already are in tatters. When all of this stabilizes, you will have a sound basis for commerce and banking, the lives of billions now in bare subsistence level countries will be greatly improved, and the vast coffers of those who earned their fortunes dishonestly will be fairly distributed to end impoverishment wherever it exists.



Contrary to reports that benevolent members of our universal family will make mass landings to evacuate peoples of Earth, that will not occur because there will be no need. However, their ongoing massive assistance in a variety of ways will continue, and when it is safe for those living among you to introduce themselves and those surrounding you in spacecraft to land, they will. Not only will that be a time of unequaled celebration on Earth, but all lighted civilizations in the universe will be cheering when that monumental day arrives!



Now then, the lapse in my messages was intended to coincide with my mother’s move. Although that has been delayed, she has been spending this time in other spiritual information avenues, and we thank all readers who refrained from writing emails and letters. To those who did write their hope that messages would soon resume and included good wishes for her move, we appreciate your thoughtfulness. But more significant to the point I need to make is the large number of individuals who wrote such as “I know he says we need to ask within, but I’m not getting answers and I really need his helpful messages” and “Please! We count on Matthew’s information to get us through these chaotic times.”



The absence of my messages had a purpose aside from my mother’s anticipated need for time, and that purpose is most evident in the sentiments expressed in those verbatim examples. Despite our urging to the contrary, some of you still are relying on external sources to tell you what to think or feel or do. By no means am I the only source of enlightening and encouraging information, but a difference is that not all other messages from light beings address readers’ questions, and I recognize the merit in this.



Please remember that in previous messages I have told you that my intention is to inspire you to develop your innate ability to discern truth from falsehood and learn to trust your intuition, and I offered suggestions to assist you to achieve this essential aspect of spiritual evolvement. Those words are in bold italics to stress how crucial it is that you not delay in developing these key aspects of self—you have the capacity to do this and all you need is the will to use it.



I also have said that by continuing to provide the answers that are within you, I was diminishing instead of stimulating your incentive to grow as you must; yet continue I did because you kept asking. I think my responses to some kinds of questions totally missed the mark—to show that cluttering your thoughts with trivial issues or succumbing to fear with each dire prediction forms a barrier to raising your consciousness and attaining spiritual clarity. And I could have been more emphatic about this too: Earth’s journey to her destination is assured but yours isn’t; it’s your responsibility get on that same track.



By making every effort I could think of to impart what you need to know, I don’t feel that I have failed, but neither do I feel that I have fully succeeded. So I have been pondering what I can do to ignite the spark of your self-discovery of the powerful gods and goddesses you are, and the recurring thought is “tough love.” Because it is not my nature to be harsh or abrupt, but rather as helpful as can be within universal laws—this is true of all souls in lighted spirit worlds—I knew that applying tough love would not come naturally. But in practicing on my mother, I’ve seen that it can be effective. Ever since we started talking nearly 14 years ago, I have been telling her that she needs to drink more water—she becomes engrossed in the task at hand, thinks “as soon as I finish this,” and simply keeps forgetting. Not long ago she became much more diligent without my prodding, after I told her once again about water. I knew her thought, of course, and I said, “No, I don’t get tired of reminding you, I get tired of your ignoring me.”



I think God must feel like that when his children repeatedly ignore The Word he sent by souls who then spread it throughout the land. Lamentably, down through the ages The Word has been distorted by those with influence, who cast out the truths and inserted information that served their purposes of greed and control. Now God-appointed messengers from the lighted realms are transmitting The Word to his receivers on Earth to waken his sleeping children in this unprecedented era on your homeland planet. A message of timeless importance in God’s own words is well worth your reading and rereading. [August 1, 2007 www.matthewbooks.com]

Now I will tell you something that is not in that message, an alert he gave my mother about a month ago. It was not to scare her, but to inform her that tentacles with dark attachments are lashing out more ferociously than ever before in energy alignment with the thoughts and deeds of the recalcitrant souls, the darkly-inclined ones whose behavior is increasingly irrational and desperate as they are acting out their fear. Since the low frequencies being emitted cannot penetrate strong psyches and spirits, they are attacking through anyone and anything that can affect those who are holding their light steady—as beacons for others, they also are major targets for the darkness. God said this accounted for several recent unlikely occurrences in my mother’s home that caused inconvenience and expense—everything is energy, and tentacles with either light or dark attachments can and do affect inanimate things.

But most important, God told her, is that she must be keenly aware of her surroundings and take utmost care in all her undertakings. Because I am ever present, I know she felt that she always is cautious; however, she was not prepared for the new force of attack, and two days later her finger was severely slashed. She was using it as she usually did to hold open a special door for dogs so the little blind fellow could enter, and suddenly the largest dog flung herself at the door, which nearly severed part of that finger. Later I told my mother that a dark tentacle had “spooked” Jessie and why: How better to silence a voice that speaks through a computer keyboard?

My mother, like all other dedicated lightworkers, is protected by the Christed light, and although God’s countless emissaries are ever vigilant over all of you, none may prevent something that would interfere with your choices. You must not only wisely take precautions in major endeavors, but also be alert to potential harmful effects of minor ones. Because of that injury, my mother is more safely helping the little dog exit and enter, and although she could have used this way all along, she didn’t think it was necessary to do anything differently. God’s message to her applies “across the board,” so extrapolate here and let her experience stir you to expand your awareness and thus your safe being.

When I spoke of “tough love,” I wasn’t referring to a sensible suggestion like that, which comes from the tender caring of the unconditional love that all souls at this station feel for all of you. Tough love means that no longer will I answer questions that are basically curiosity: Will so-and-so be the next US president, will President Bush be impeached, which world leaders are dark and which are light, will Iran be invaded, where is the economy heading, when will the war in Iraq end, how far will the new virus spread, what will stop the chemtrails, what if…? Please understand that I am NOT saying these matters are not important—they are!—and it would be a most exceptional soul who could ask within and get accurate answers.

There are two important issues here. First, in a sense, you have been given answers to those questions and many others—the descriptions of the promised Golden Age that other evolved souls and I have given you clearly show that any momentary concerns about such matters are unnecessary. Second, Earth’s energy field of potential is rife with countless zigzagging streamers, and although the finale—the Golden Age—is known, all free will choices with their positive or negative charges shooting out into that field every nanosecond preclude our knowing the absolute outcome of each energetic expression. Energy is in constant motion so situations are ever in flux, and what in this moment appears likely, tomorrow may have lost its punch, or vice versa.

But the primary point I need to make is, a forecast of specific matters that in time you shall see for yourselves as they unfold is not what needs to be paramount in your thoughts—knowing and BEing the souls you are, IS! You could say that “introducing you to yourselves” is and always has been my purpose. Going on more about this would merely be repeating what I have said in many messages.

Again, they are not the only source of enlightenment, encouragement and guidance, but reviewing them could be helpful as refresher courses generally are. However, I know that with linear time racing right out of the picture and the same myriad responsibilities must be accomplished, most of you may not be able to do that. Furthermore, I would be remiss if I did not stress here one more time the “other side of the coin” from dependence on external sources to carry you along on Earth’s journey, and I state with brevity that belies the inestimable honor we pay you: You are brilliant souls who, simply by radiating your light, are inspiring others to let their own light come to the fore!

It is important to repeat as well something else I often have said, that each of you is a manifesting powerhouse and what you manifest not only is your very life, but affects Earth and the universe. In line with this is the “2012” chapter in And then God said…then I said…then He said…, a book of extraordinary messages received by my mother and by Celestial Bluestar of the Pleiades and David of Arcturus, powerful light warriors with vital missions during this unique time in your world. As God instructed, “2012” is pertinent excerpts from my messages, and I asked my mother to separately post that chapter as space limitations preclude adding it here. [“2012” in Matthew’s Messages on www.matthewbooks.com] You “live in the now,” as your expression goes, where in each moment you are co-creating your “future.” This is precisely why you chose this Earth lifetime and this is what needs to be foremost in your thoughts, your feelings, your actions! I believe that reading “2012” not only will be exciting as you visualize your co-creation, but it will remind you that you are eminently prepared for this transitional phase at hand.

Now, by request, I speak for all souls in spirit and in body at this station of spiritual evolvement: Our abiding love for every one of you shines like all the stars in the heavens—let our love lighten, guide and uplift your pathway, knowing that you and we are eternally ONE.

Suzanne Ward

COMMUNITY

The Bridge ~ Step 79 ~ Community

In order for humanity to reach its highest calling,
people must come together

The Universe places people in front of us who we are supposed to help. The question then becomes, how can we best do this? We're not really serving others when we allow them to become dependent on us for an indefinite period of time. Nor do we further ourselves. If we allow ourselves to become a crutch for others, we deny them the life experiences that will lead them to their own empowerment, and we deny ourselves the energy and freedom we need to do our life's work to its fullest potential.

Many people come to our community who are needy. From their point of view, life has thrown them a curve, but from where we stand, we see this as an opportunity for both of us to move forward. We know that some will fit in our circle and some will not. Those who don't fit in here will eventually find another path that suits them better. Like many Native American tribes, we always provide them with food and the tools for becoming self-reliant. We will do our best to teach them the Intention Process and how to use their thoughts and words in a way that will serve them. They will be welcomed into our Intention Circles where they can rub elbows with others like themselves who are steadily learning to manifest the things that they desire. And, if they are ready and open to receive, they, too, will begin to manifest things and become self-empowered.

Empowerment is something that we carry with us. We need not be tied to a certain place or a particular group of people in order to become a mighty manifester. Once a person lets go of the blame game and starts to feel the gratitude that accompanies the manifestation of their intentions, he or she can go anywhere and use the Intention Process. They can start an Intenders Circle at the next stop on their journey and pass on what they have learned to others who are ready for it.

A community is not defined by its physical boundaries. In fact, the strength of a community lies in its ability to spread out. Kept confined, a community will soon begin to decay. The enthusiasm for life will soon become stifled without adequate room to expand. Of course, we could have an exclusive community where we set a limit as to how many people we will allow in. But this attitude promotes the very separatism that is the cause of the quandary that humanity faces today.

These are not the times for exclusivity or for people to remain isolated from each other. We all need each other. Our Intenders Community is one where people can come, get empowered, and go on their way. We give them an Intenders Handbook for occasional reminders, the experience of the power of the Intenders Circle, and we trust that the Universe will take good care of them as they take their next step in life.


My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am discovering the benefits that community has to offer.

GETTING EXTRA HELP

The Bridge ~ Step 78 ~ Getting Extra Help


You can ask your angels to talk to their angels


How many times have you been in a situation where one of your good friends approached you with a drama that was seemingly hopeless? They had no idea how to proceed and no one to turn to. Perhaps it had even been going on for quite awhile with no resolution in sight. Perhaps, also, you had told your friend to make some intentions around the drama, and yet, because of their doubting nature or inexperience at manifesting, they were still up to their neck in the quicksand of the situation. In short, nothing was working.


When we're in situations like this, where we really want to help someone else, but don't know where to turn, this is what we've learned to do. We go into our quiet place where we will not be disturbed, and we ask our angels to talk to their angels.



I was staying with friends recently who had no idea where their next mortgage payment was coming from and it was driving them crazy. They didn't quite have the handle on their doubting and so they kept inadvertently sabotaging their intentions by saying, over and over, that they really didn't want to lose their home. It was like a broken record, and even though I pointed it out to them on several occasions, they still weren't able to keep from voicing their doubts..


The only thing I could think of to do was to have a talk with my guides and helpers in the invisible realms and petition them to talk with my friends' angels and helpers.


Now it is several months later, and I can't tell you exactly how it all worked out, but I do know that my friends are still living happily in their home and that all of their payments are up to date. The only thing I can attribute to this once seemingly hopeless situation is that our unseen helpers - our angels - took care of everything.



My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am helping to resolve my friends' dramas by asking my angels to talk with their angels.

Are You Off-Path?

PS - We're downsizing and won't be needing you anymore. Have a great New Year!

Did you know that you arrived on earth with a built-in GPS device embedded inside of you? You programmed it before you were born. It contains all the directions you'll ever need in this lifetime. It's designed to get you dead-on target to your destined great work - the work you came here to do that uses your unique talents to raise the vibration of the planet.
Even when your life feels like it's not moving forward, like your career is slipping through your fingers, like relationships you used to count on are shifting - you will move through this phase and emerge on the other end with a more powerful direction than ever before.
You're just getting a little nudge from the universe - because it's time to get back on-path. Nudging is what's going on when you get fired, laid off, rejected, hired, promoted, or your business goes bankrupt. You've been nudged!
Before you were born, your soul knew what it needed to master in order to evolve to its highest good; you knew that evolving your soul would help thousands of people around you. You signed up!
And now - here you are! At the company party, your boss announces they're downsizing and won't need your services anymore; your spouse leaves you for a dancer; and your real estate investments flop. Oh well.
Say, "Thank you! I must have been really off my true path to get kicked this hard." Turn around and face forward. Ask, "What do I want my life to look like now?"
When we've fallen off of our true path, our loved ones get fed up with us, bosses fire us, co-workers complain about us, and we stop attracting clients and customers. READ ON

Your Personal Prediction for 2008

Do you wish you could see into the future and know what 2008 holds for you? Would you like to understand the upcoming challenges and potentials, so you can create your best year yet?

Have you ever wondered why certain years in your life seem to focus on relationships, while others focus on career? Do you ever have a "whammy" year - where nothing seems to go the way you want it to?

What if the potentials and pitfalls of each approaching year could be revealed by studying the numbers in your birthday? That's what ancient mystic and philosopher, Pythagoras, father of our modern number system, believed in 580 BC. Pythagoras saw that everything in the universe operated in predictable cycles, and his basic units of measuring each cycle were the digits 1 through 9.

We're going to determine, now, where you are in that nine-year cycle and what that means to your career in 2008. READ ON

Confessions of a Psychic Career Coach

When I work with clients, I see their gifts and potentials; what they came here to do; the careers they would love; and where they should live. This information comes to me as photographic images and strong messages that I transmit directly to my clients. Sometimes I see my client's departed loved ones, who come to the session to offer career guidance.

This joining of two seemingly disconnected worlds--the divine realms and the world of work--seems to be my particular talent. I was born in New Orleans to a French Cajun mother who came from a long line of women with "the gift." I inherited a double dose of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition from her and her mother, and on back through generations of Degas women. READ ON

GIVE THE BEST GIFT EVER -- PEACE

Dear sherrie,

Help Bring Peace To Darfur In 2008

We need to raise $450,000 by December 31 to help push for peace in 2008.



Make your tax-deductible 2007 year-end gift today.

As 2007 draws to a close, I wish I could tell you that the people of Darfur will celebrate a peaceful New Year. But I can't.

Sudanese President Bashir is still blocking deployment of the agreed-upon peacekeeping force. And, despite their declarations of support for the people of Darfur, President Bush, Chinese President Hu, and other world leaders are allowing Bashir's delays to continue, prolonging the suffering in Darfur.

We cannot let the world look away from Darfur! This peacekeeping mission can help end the genocide, and we must make sure it's fully deployed in 2008.

Click here to make your tax-deductible gift by December 31 and help us reach our year-end fundraising goal of $450,000 to push for peace in Darfur.

This week has been a powerful example of our ability to make leaders take a stand for Darfur.

Thanks to the efforts of Save Darfur activists like you, Congress just took two important steps to help end the genocide: it agreed to fund the Darfur peacekeeping mission for the next fiscal year, and it enacted legislation to protect states' rights to divest from companies that help fund the genocide in Darfur.

Although these are important victories, our work is far from over.

The peacekeepers have not yet reached Darfur. We need your help to make sure they get there in 2008 and that they receive the diplomatic, financial, and technical assistance they need to succeed once they arrive.

Click here to make your tax-deductible 2007 year-end contribution to the Save Darfur Coalition today.

By making your year-end donation to the Coalition now, you will help us press for the rapid deployment of the peacekeeping force, a critical first step to ending genocide, securing the region, and ensuring safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Your gift will help us raise our voices in demanding that President Bush, Chinese President Hu, and other world leaders take the steps needed to end Khartoum's obstructions and stop the violence.

Please don't wait. Make your tax-deductible 2007 year-end contribution to the Save Darfur Coalition today.

Thank you again for all you do to help bring peace to Darfur.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Save Darfur Coalition.


Best regards,


Colleen Connors
Save Darfur Coalition

THE MAGICAL FLOW

The Bridge ~ Step 76 ~ The Magical Flow



You need not be concerned about the future . . . only the Now



The first time I consciously experienced the magic of the present moment BJ and I were building a rock wall together. We'd just hired our friend, Toshi, to bulldoze a new driveway on our property and when he was finished, the lower side of the road needed to have a retaining wall constructed to keep the Kona afternoon rains from washing away the dozer work. We had plenty of large rocks strewn about the land and, since they were free, we decided to use them to build the wall.


When we began, BJ showed me how to dig a flat footing - which was about forty feet long - put up the batter boards and set the strings so the wall would be straight. At the time, it looked to me like it would take us weeks to complete the job.


With the preliminary work accomplished, he started placing the rocks with the flattest side of each one facing outward and leaning ever-so-slightly into the hillside. My job, since I was new at this, was to gather the best rocks and have them ready for him to set in line. Needless to say, at first, the job crept along very slowly. My work skills at that time were minimal, to say the least, primarily because I had never really done much manual labor before. As a result, BJ spent a lot of time idle, waiting for me to bring him the rocks he needed.


After about an hour of painstaking labor, we took a break and sat with our backs against the first few stones he'd set into place. The view of the entire southern Kona coast spread before us like a picture of paradise. BJ wasn't enjoying it like I was, however. He was staring at me with a disapproving smirk on his face.


"Didn't anyone ever show you how to work with someone else?" he asked me.


"No." I wasn't sure where he was going with this.


"Well," he said, "if we keep up our present pace, we'll be here all summer, building this wall. You've got to wake up!"


BJ could be very blunt at times. I'd learned not to take everything he said personally, but sometimes it was hard. He knew how to push my buttons, and when he initially introduced me to The Information, I agreed to allow him to test me so I could see my weaknesses and eventually be free on all my buttons. Little did I realize, when I made that agreement, that BJ was a Master at button pushing. More than a few times, I'd end up walking away from a heavy conversation with him, muttering and cussing about how he could be such a jerk to insult and belittle me like he did.


I was just about ready to walk away this time, too, when he caught me, only now he spoke in a gentler, softer tone of voice. "One of the biggest problems in America today," he said, "is that people don't really know how to work together. We've got all sorts of fancy, high-falutin' educational systems and we soak up tons of knowledge, but very few are able to put it to good use."


I listened because I needed the rock wall built. But my ego, which was puffed up because I had a college degree, wanted to scream in reaction.


"People are too isolated from one another nowadays," he went on. "They work by themselves, often in little cubicles, and never discover the joy that can come from working as part of a team. They never get to step into the magical flow which comes when two or more are concentrated on a common project."


Now, I thought to myself, we're getting somewhere. The magical flow sounded interesting to me.


"There's a coming together - a Oneness - that can occur whenever two people are working together and putting their attention on the same thing, he said. "It doesn't matter if they're in an office, on an assembly line, or working in a tool and dye shop. In our case, it can happen right out here in the middle of the rainforest, while we're building this rock wall. But, we'd have to take extra care - and keep an eye on what the other one is doing at all times.


"I can do that," I said, glibly.


"Well, up until now, you haven't," he responded. "If we're going to work together, and have any hope of stepping into the magical flow, you'll have to pay much closer attention to what I'm doing and make sure you have the next rock ready for me when I need it. Otherwise, I'll be sitting around, twiddling my thumbs, while you're out off in the woods somewhere, doing God knows what!"


The bluntness had returned, but blunt or not, I knew he was right. And besides that, my interest was piqued. I wanted to check out the magical flow. So, from that point on, not only did I gather rocks, but, at the same time, I watched what he was doing. It involved me having to do two things at once, but, with a little practice, I found that I was able to have the perfect rock sitting right there for him, so he didn't have to move more than six inches to pick it up and place it in the wall.


By the time we took our next break, the sun was high overhead and, without me even noticing, several hours had passed. I'd been so focused on the project at hand that it was like the rest of the world had gone away. I never worked so hard and felt so good! I'd experienced a state of Oneness, as sweet as any I'd ever had in my meditations or prayers. And, to top it all off, when I looked around me, there were fifteen feet of wall, five feet high, already backfilled and standing at the end of the day. A whole lot of work had gotten done while we were in the magical flow.



My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am in the flow where Great Mystery
and Miracles abide

The American Wind Energy Association

Dear sherrie:

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of renewable energy. You are the real force behind the success we’ve had this past year. We sincerely appreciate all you have done and all you continue to do.

As a result of your support, an energy bill with strong renewable energy provisions was approved by the House of Representatives. While the Senate did not include those initiatives in the final energy bill, we hope to work with Congress in 2008 to ensure that renewable power sources are part of our country’s energy portfolio. In the meantime, visit www.PowerofWind.com and urge Congress to support renewable energy initiatives in the coming year.

Have a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season, and thanks again for helping us work toward a cleaner, stronger America.

UPDATE ON BALI

Friends,

Wow - on Saturday, in desperate last-minute negotiations, the world faced down an effort by the US, Canada and Japan to wreck the crucial Bali Climate Change Summit.
