(This
was written to someone who asked for help because they felt lost in their
life.) ......What
you write sounds familiar to me and I'm sure to many others. I can share what
has helped me in times like these. One thing to consider is that in this time
on earth, peoples' evolution is being accelerated. The quickening of
vibration and the increase in the ability to perceive things telepathically
can result in realizations that things in your life are not based on what is
real or in accordance to your purpose of being here. Suddenly (or so it
seems) you realize that things are not the way they should be though have
nowhere to go to find or figure out what the proper way is. This can lead to
feelings of being helpless or lost. The
cure lies within the disease, meaning, you know the answers already and can
find them if you seek. You are actually aware of the answers or you would not
know something was wrong. So how
do you find the answers and bring them to where you can consciously work with
them? The
Medicine wheel has directions just like a compass and can be used to find
your direction in life’s situations. The Bear
in my way is the Gate keeper of the west gate and the place where we go for
introspection. The spirit of the west direction is who you may wish to council
with at this time, you may in your way have another animal who represents this
gate. The attributes of the directional force remain the same whatever the
name you give it. Luckily, the forces of nature do not get confused by a bunch
of humans calling them different things, they know who they are and their
purpose for being. Creator
is, who creator is, (sounds like Forest Gump) regardless of the many disputes
and wars that occur over the debate of what people say creator is. You could
change your name and description of creator 10 times in your life, being
completely sure with each one that your description was true. Your world and
how you viewed it would have changed completely 10 times, though the reality
of what creator is would not have changed. This consideration makes the idea
of " holy wars" utterly ridiculous. Back to
Bear....(and I’m not calling for a revival of the nudist thing) From
introspection you need to bring your thoughts to where you can work with
them. This means journaling. Get a journal book and journal every day.
Journal your feelings, thoughts , things that happen that you see as signs
from creator, dreams, etc...Just journal. This allows you to see how your
mind is working. It is your mind that is interpreting what is happening and
thus creates your reality. We call
mind the mind child for we are teaching it the way of balance like any
mischievous child the mind is also the coyote or the trickster. If we let it
run around in the night unseen it will sneak up and nip us on the butt
eventually. Journaling is like turning on a flashlight and shining it on the
coyote so we can see what it is up to. Try writing the story of how your life
is now and what it will come to be if it continues in the way it is headed.
Then re-write it and change the story to how you want it to be and how it
will come to be because of the changes. On the
medicine wheel our animal representative of the east direction is the eagle.
The eagle lets us rise above the situation and look at things from a greater
perspective. Go outside and look up at the great expansiveness, the direction
of above, the heavens, the universe. Realize
that since you breath, your existence in every moment is verified and
sanctified** as integral to the whole of the workings of the universe. In
other words Creator has given you the gift of life because he trusts you and
knows you are fulfilling a purpose. Just like Creator remains creator however
you describe it, your Sacredness does not depend on your opinion of yourself.
You are sacred, know it or not. You are
an unlimited being of spirit that is experiencing itself within a limited
form. This sometimes makes us feel like we don’t belong here in this body or
are limited. Life is a cycle, a cycle is a circle and in a circle everything
returns to where it began. Thus we will return to where we came from before
we began to experience the form of this body. We can
not be lost forever in illusion. All must be counted, no one will be lost. It
was set up this way since the beginning. We have been exploring the extremes
of our potential as human. This means it can get very dark at times. The
ancients were very wise and foresaw the darkness we would enter. There were
things put in motion that ensure our way home. The earth herself will ensure
that she will survive and those who stand on her as her children will have
solid ground under their feet. We call
the earth mother Ela in our way. She is our mother because our form is of
hers. The atoms and matter we are composed of, we are borrowing until our
work is done here. Since you are of the mother and the mother knows how to
balance herself, she can balance you. Lie on the mother and ask her to
balance you, give your anger and despair to her, she knows to convert it to
something that gives life. One
thing oyu can do is you can go dig a hole and scream your anger into it, then
fill it back up and plant a seed that life would come from the energy you
released. Let her work and heal your body. Working with the soil reconnects
you to her. Do things like potting and planting where you work the soil with
your hands. You will feel the difference. Working with Horses also can help
with emotions, it allows them to use their gifts to help balance you, they
are powerful healers. Find a stable and volunteer to brush them and care for
them. Then
there is Waya the Wolf ,Gate keeper of the south, bringer of humor and
teacher of supreme evolution. Only
the top two wolves in a pack mate, this ensures that only the best of what
the pack has is passed on to the next generation. Weakness and disease is not
allowed to continue due to this practice. We can take the Wolf’s example and
monitor our thoughts allowing the constructive positive ones to remain. There
is a powerful tool I have found helpful, if you want a no BS reflection of
where you are at and a way to change it , work through Dr Phil McGraw’s book
and workbook called Life Strategies which teaches from the ways of the south
direction and its attributes of relationships. It is wise to start working
with the relationship with yourself. North
is the Buffalo or Yunsai to the Cherokee. The north is wisdom and where life
enters and leaves. It is the land of the frozen lakes. One thing that relates
to this direction is a practice that will clear your thoughts and aura /
magnetic field of dross. In the morning take a cold shower, as cold as the
water gets, before your warm shower. Let it hit all parts of your body and
head, stay in for 3 minuets for optimum. An
addition to this is to take sea salt (pure Dead Sea salt has beneficial
minerals, get the purest un-processed sea salt you can get.) and wet it then
use it and rub it over your body and on your scalp. Make sure you touch your
energy centers (chakras as they are called in the east )and the back of your
neck at the base of the skull for both these exercises. The cold water sends
a jolt of energy through your body like a lightening bolt and the salt
removes energy draining things and helps to rebuild your matrix. I find it
jolts me out of apathetic or depression-like states quite effectively. The
center the 7th direction, is you , the creator within, where all your answers
are. You are creator experiencing form. You need to look only within yourself
to find the direction and purpose of your life. There are many tools to help
you find this within yourself, the medicine wheel is a powerful one. Flying
Stag MAY 1998 These parables were shared by Lani they were written by her dear on-line friend who's nickname is: GOD. To view Lanis page go to - http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4840/
Once upon forever, there was an entity who needed to search for GOD. This entity knew there was a GOD but didn't quite know for sure, who or what GOD was. This entity started his quest that took him around the world to many, many wonderful places. On his travels he spoke with many different peoples and every one of them had their version of who and what GOD was. Each individual told him their version: "If you wear this cap and don't eat any meat that has not been blessed, GOD will love you." "Take these beads, hold them in your hands, and pray these prayers, GOD will be yours forever." "Don't drink any caffeine, don't smoke, and have a lot of children, for we are the chosen people and when Jesus comes, he's coming just for us." "Don't partake in dancing, singing, smoking, drinking hard alcohol, or having sex before you're married for this is the devil's work, and GOD will punish you, for this is a GOD of love and if you love him back by following his rules, God will take you to heaven, but if you don't do these things you're going to hell." "Here take these beads, crystals, and incense, hold them in your hands, chant your mantras, be sure and don't tear your aura or else it will leak ..after you position yourself into the meditative position (which must be perfect or you won't be connected to your higher self) and summoning all the power of your chakras you will be acknowledged by GOD as part of GOD. After you are in tune with your higher self, and have left your lower self with all of its negative garbage, you will be able to start your journey into becoming realized. Needless to say the small entity was very confused. One day upon forever he was weary of his journey and sat on a rock near a stream, elbows on his knees, cupping his face into his hands, and started talking to himself: "GOD, I have searched and searched for you, but I can't seem to find you, how I wish I could talk to you by myself and ask a lot of questions." All of a sudden he heard a voice and felt a tap on his shoulder "YOU can".said the voice. "I'm here with you". "GOD, GOD! Is that you?" He asked into the air. and the voice answered "but, of course, I've always been with you".. "But I've been traveling around the world looking for you, everywhere and you've never answered me before". "Well" answered GOD " YOU never asked ME before You always asked someone else, to get you to ME, and they don't have the authority to do so for I'AM you" smiled GOD gently the entity, frustrated, answered "YOU are me?. "But they told me if I would say and do certain things with certain objects that I would find you". "Yes" replied GOD "this is a truth, however it is their truth, not mine, all you have to do to get to ME is ask ME." There was a moment of silence and GOD continued speaking: "Entity, everyone has their own way of connecting to ME and each and everyone of them is correct ..for I gave them 'Free will with no restrictions' and since I AM and always have been and created everything from Me every one and everything is ME, how on earth could I ever turn ME away, and so I accept their truths to ME for ME and by ME it doesn't matter how they get to Me because I'M all there is". "BUT GOD!" The entity exclaimed "how do I get to you? .. the real way?". GOD embraced the entity holding him tightly, smiled the most sincere smile the entity had ever felt. "The question is entity..how do I get to ME? How many trinkets and baubles and chants do you think I need to get from ME to ME when in fact I'M everything?..once you know the answer to that question, you will know but I will give you a hint..being.just being..go in love for that is what you are. ". With that statement the entity KNEW who and what GOD was.. The entity never had to seek again..for he found his answer. THE END
One day, in the land of Once Upon Forever, there lived a little entity named Sara. Sara carried her teddy bear with her wherever she went. One night, in her village encampment, she was supposed to be in bed, but decided she would visit the elders around the light of the night that brought warmth. Sara brought her teddy bear, as she approached the circle of elders, they were all sitting on logs and rocks staring into the light that brought forth warmth. None of the elders where speaking. Just staring. Sara walked up to the greatest of elders and handed him her teddy bear. "Hold him, he brings smiles," she said. "Ah Sara, now is not a time to play." Replied the greatest of elders, and stared past her into the light. Sara went to the woman who is the keeper of all knowledge of food. "Here, hug him, 'cause he will fill your heart." "Sara," the kindest of all women said, "the elders are having a talk on what they must do in order to eat. I will hug him after we finish. Go to sleep, I will be there soon." Sara could see that none of the elders were really paying attention to her, and so she sat down in front of the light that gave warmth and stared. Soon she was dreaming, of a time in the land of Once Upon Forever, that Sara was playing in the meadows and an entity appeared before her. "Sara," said the low gentle voice, "Sara, little one who knows nothing but love. Soon your village will be needing your guidance, all you have to do is be you." And with that the entity left. Sara had forgotten that time in Once Upon Forever, but upon remembering awoke with a startle. She got up and went to her hovel and retrieved some sweetened bread made from the liquid of the tree, and brought it to the elders, as she passed it around, they smiled and thanked Sara, but hardly noticed her. Sara again sat down and stared into the light. "Hmmm," she thought. "Just be myself." After several minutes Sara became chilled, and grabbed the blanket at the foot of the greatest of elders, held it up. The elder looked into Sara's eyes, they were drooping, barely staying open. The elder took the blanket, wrapped it around Sara and pulled her into his arms and lap and rocked her for only a few moments before she was asleep. The elder stared into the child's face and saw the innocence of a child, he saw the serenity of her soul. He knew that as a child, she knew not the danger, of the lack of staples for the village. He knew that as a child, she knew she would be taken care of. He knows a child has no fear, they just know they are taken care of. Strange, he thought, here we are wondering how to feed the village, and Sara, bright smiling Sara comes and gives everyone sweetened bread, giving no thought as to the next morsel. Just giving, as only an innocent child can give, with total love, with no fear, just knowing everything is fine. The elder began remembering a story passed on from his forefathers and the forefathers before them. The story tells of giving and never wanting. The forefathers would warn of not keeping or holding onto any worldly goods, because it insulted the Father of all Fathers. This, they would say, shows that the Great Father cannot take care of his children. Holding on and not giving tells the Great Father that he is not able to support his children, that they don't trust the Father of Fathers who has already given his children this beautiful earth and everything in it, to support his children with everything they want and need. With this remembrance, the greatest of elders stood up with Sara in his arms and said, "Go to your hovels and sleep with peace, the Greatest of Fathers will provide for us." The entity turned and said no more and took Sara to her bed, covered her and her teddy bear, kissing them both on the forehead. The village never again spoke of lack, and lack never came unto the village in the land of Once Upon Forever. The End
FEBRUARY 1998 A STORY OF STRENGTH HOPE AND COURAGE SENT TO US BY Ray T. I was 12 yrs. old when my father threw me off a third story balcony onto the cars below. I died clinically, but the Drs. were able to revive me. When I awoke from the coma a few days later, I was brain-damaged and had to learn things all over again; how to walk and talk, how to function in society. I don't remember a lot of my life from before the trauma, other than beatings, being forced to chew on an old pair of shoes, because I needed new ones and he said that it was going to come out of his grocery budget, and more beatings. I stumbled through life for the next year or so, knowing that there was "something" wrong with me, but not knowing what. In those days, when you came out of a coma, Drs. thought that you had just come out of a very deep sleep. So, for me, there was no help. I didn't get help from the children's aid, because I was forewarned by my family that if I said anything, we, my brothers & I, would be taken away from our parents, separated, and never be able to see each other again. A terrible responsibility to place on any child. Because, I had to start over again, I was very immature for my age and awkward, socially. Then I discovered drugs. When I took them, it placed me on the same level as those who were taking them with me. Little did I know that the drugs were lowering the others to my level, I thought that the drugs were raising me to their level. I continued through the drug induced fog for many years, not knowing that there was anything wrong. Through it all, there were the "voices" inside my head, who were constantly giving me warnings of coming troubles. Mostly, they came in the form of a rumbling behind the ears. When I heard that, I gradually learned to leave the area because a fight was going to break out, or the party was going to get busted, or some sort of danger. I learned that I have a "guardian", who watches over me. Constantly, I had friends tell me, that I had just missed a big fight by five minutes, or that its good good thing that I didn't go, because there was a terrible accident. I really didn't think anything about it. I was mostly in that drug induced stupor. I've just quit drugs, about 2 weeks ago and still am busy trying to avoid them. The things that I've learned though, if anyone will hear, are that; when you are in trouble, talk about it. To anyone, sooner or later, someone will hear you and they can't help if they don't know. Drugs can be a terrible thing, they will rob you of your ability to think clearly and your dignity, if you let them. And last, but not least, God is good. Behind every misfortune, there is also a blessing, if you work your way through it. I think that they are called that because we often miss the fortune that is behind them. My fortunes: I have a spirit that watches over me, I have a wife that loves me (I don't know how the heaven, I got one of those!), and I now have a wonderful baby boy. If I can finish this letter off, I will only repeat three things. When you're in trouble, talk about it to anyone or everyone, till help arrives; drugs or anything that gets control over you, are bad; and DON'T miss the fortune. :o) Ray T. Guy Bell tells us about : "Mother Earth Healing Meditations" Meetings will take place on the first and third Thursday of each month. Time: 3:30 p.m. Gathering Universal Meditation Link at 8:00 p.m. your local time to your area. Please join in a special linking of energy, to send healing light to our Mother Earth. As we link together, and become one we join in the gathering of what has been called the critical mass. These numbers are needed to assist our planet through the critical changes she is facing. My commitment is to bring the link to my area and to find others around the world that will link with us at the same time, their local time. We are looking to have links in every time zone so that a healing meditation can go out for 24 hrs. Twice monthly.

Visit our Registered Locations List at: http://www.vaxxine.com/TLCJANUARY 1998Thanks to R.W. for this contribution I am a sage if you see it or not. I know things and am a vessel , a window to the universe to shine through, as you are. I know when things are happening even when im not there as you do. I feel things that I cant explain yet they guide me without fail. I trust things I cannot describe, meaningless to others in a guiding way, but a clear loud signal to me. Small things, big things all guide me. I never know what it will be but I know what it is when it arrives. Sometimes it is like seeing better with eyes closed. Those perceptions seem so true regardless of "logical" "rightness". I've seen things people say don't exist and done things people have not believed could be done. I've felt things so deep I think im the only one. I've been places , I can't tell you where but you'll know when you find them.
Thanks to Stan Johnson for this submission. OF POETRY... LIFE IS LIKE POETRY , THINGS ONLY RHYME IF YOU MAKE THEM. Let pour from the universe this beauty that, as a prism, I be the window to call for and allow the beauty to drop as symbols of ink to this paper that the world may see reflected, the colors of eternity from these pages.
PRE-NOVEMBER 1996
"This is fantastic, how do I get involved?"
|
| "I have been involved in the "One Heart Song" Project
since about September 1990. I own my own consulting company, and do both
Structural Engineering, and Marketing Consulting. Like all the people involved
with this project, I believe that we have to create peace in our lives
the same way we work for, and create, everything else which we value and
give importance. This is why I am constantly talking to people about the
"One Heart Song" Project. On a recent trip to Mexico, I had the
occasion to talk with a few people on the beach in Cancun, and was really
very encouraged to hear responses like: "It's about time somebody
starts something like this", and "This is fantastic, how do I
get involved?" One of the most encouraging and heart warming
things that happened was when I met a group of waiters in a disco. As I
was driving by this very large gray building, I noticed a big, brightly-painted
sign on the grass in front which read: "The song of peace will never
end". I figured that somebody inside there must be interested in the
"One Heart Song" Project. I knocked on the door, but to
no avail. I walked around back and saw a construction crew, and using my
little English- Spanish dictionary, managed to make them understand that
I was trying to find out who wrote the sign on the lawn out front. They
pointed to a door, so I went over and knocked. I guess I must have had
a pretty surprised look on my face when this little trap in the middle
of the door opened, and some guy asked me, in Spanish, what I wanted.
I asked again about the sign. After about five minutes of international
confusion that included a mixture of English, Spanish, and a little French
thrown in for flavor, I was shown into the back of the warehouse. (At this
point I still did not know what kind of business was going on in this building,
but the security sure had me imagining all kinds of things.) The
gentleman I met was one of the nicest people I encountered on my whole
trip. (And he even spoke a fair amount of English.) He explained to me
that this was a disco called "Daddyo's" and that one of the waiters
had drawn the sign. He said that all the waiters were concerned about the
war that was going on at the time, and were praying for peace. I
explained about the "One Heart Song" Project, and he was thrilled.
He called in a couple of other guys who were helping restock the bars,
and generally prepare the place for opening later that evening. They all
got really excited. I must admit that I could follow about one tenth of
what they were saying. It was pretty clear that they thought it was a good
idea. I went back to the disco later that evening with the others
with whom I was traveling, and had a chance to meet the whole group. As
a result of this little encounter, there are two discos in the main strip
in Cancun who take a few minutes on Thursday evenings at 7:30 to think
of peace. Since I wasn't there on Thursday, I can't really say how
they do it, whether they play peace songs, or make an announcement, or
what, but I guess that isn't really important. What is important, and really
great, is that they're doing something! That they're part of the Global
Network helping us all sing the "One Heart Song" and create peace
in our time".

This is from a beautiful letter from F. Nana Asiedu - Hienngo, of Dharma Agencies Ltd. in Ghana, W. Africa. "I believe the United Nations may not succeed to bring peace to the whole world without the help of GOD through the agency of One Heart Song Prayer. Therefore, something must be done about it to help the Network to grow worldwide. That is my opinion. Send more forms to us for distribution. Enclosed you (will) find some groups who have given time to the One Heart Song project. Please send more information on this project to them, to help the network grow." F.

WRITTEN BY DAVID RICHARDSON OHIO,USA. "IF 90% OF THE WORLD'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND THOUGHTS ARE NEGATIVE, DOES THAT MEAN THAT NINE OUT OF TEN PEOPLE WOULD THINK YOU ARE STRANGE FOR SMILING ON THE STREET OR SUBWAY? IF SO, WE ARE STRANGE PEOPLE. WE SEE GOOD IN WHAT PEOPLE CALL BAD. WE SMILE TO SHARE OUR JOY. WE LAUGH AND LOVE PEOPLE. WE LOOK FOR SIMILARITIES AND CELEBRATE THE DIFFERENCES. WE ARE HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. WE TRULY FIND JOY IN SMILING, IN CARING AND LOVING WITHOUT CONDITION. EVERY TIME WE SMILE, WE REDUCE THE 90% NEGATIVE, AND INCREASE THE 10% POSITIVE. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVERYONE SMILES AT ONCE! SO, I'LL SEE YOU WALKING DOWN THE STREET. IF OUR EYES SHOULD MEET, LET'S BE THE BRAVE AND STRANGE PEOPLE WE ARE, AND NOT LOOK AWAY. LET'S SMILE AND SAY HI, AND MAYBE STOP AND TALK AWHILE. WE MAY FIND THAT WE'VE MADE EACH OTHER'S DAY.
LISTEN, TO HEAR THE TRUTH. LISTEN, TO WHAT THE WIND WHISPERS IN YOUR EAR. LISTEN, THE LEAVES TAKE THE MESSAGE AND CARRY IT OVER LAND AND SEA. WHEN THE LEAVES TURN RED IN THE FALL, THEY SEEM TO DIE. BUT THIS IS THE MOMENT WHEN THEY BECOME ALIVE; THE MOMENT OF BIRTH - A NEW LIFE; THE MOMENT OF FULFILLING THE MEANING TO CARRY THE MESSAGE OVER LAND AND SEA." BY FRANTISHA NEUMANN, Santa Fe, NEW Mexico, USA.
| Have you ever considered yourself as God's tool, as a vessel of God, or a window through which God can express its will? We all have come into this earth with unique gifts and messages that cannot be expressed by anyone but you. The people who know their particular niche or expression, are more focused in their pursuits and decisions within their lives. Try to see yourself as a tool, a tool of God. You are sitting on God's work bench. What are you used for? What is your purpose? What do you create in this workshop of the world? A personal note to the people of the world: If I was to consider myself a tool of God, I would be used for "unification," hence my interest in the Global Prayer Network One Heartsong Project and in the Internet. The internet is one of the greatest technological tools to provide the space towards the paradigm shift from segmented and separated individuals, to a mind set of a global family of man. It allows the understanding of differences, uniqueness, and personal individuality as acceptable and familiar. The worldliness and understanding that "well traveled" people have of various life situations within different geographical and economic situations of the world, can now be, in part, mutually experienced through this global network. What we do not understand, we fear ... what we fear, we kill... Stop the killing. Let us understand. I see the growth of the Internet as a direct indication of the growth of mankind into the mind set of global unity, that is necessary for the ongoingness of all life on earth. As the Internet is understood by more and more people, concepts that held no reference points within peoples' minds will be easily and instantly understood. Sayings like "everything is connected," will be transformed from an abstract and non comprehensible jingle, to a practical, logical, and obvious statement of fact. It will be easier to transfer the thought of being connected to everyone via electronics, to the concepts of our individual thoughts and actions affecting all other things. Thoughts like these breed understanding of personal responsibility, and the actions needed to create changes that will determine if, and in what condition, the living arena of earth will be passed down to our children. The principal that is actively responsible for the effectiveness of such projects as this Global Prayer Network, is spoken of in semantically diverse terms. Scientifically, it is spoken of as a law of physics in the statement that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In spiritual circles, this natural law is spoken of as karma. In this arena, the phrase that best sums up the idea of the reciprocal nature of cause and effect is the saying, "Life is a cycle, a cycle is a circle, and in a circle everything returns to where it began."
