Jesus is just alright with me...

Beloved one, I would speak with you about the new year of your timing. 2010, as you will call it, is an arbitrary reckoning because, as you have seen, there are other calendars and other reckonings, but you are calling it 2010. It is going to be a most wonderful year. Many awakenings. Much of judgment. Old issues are going to come up to be judged and quickly resolved, because you now have the tools: you now have the understandings you did not have in other lifetimes because you were kept within the parameters of what had been taught to you, what your priests and rabbis and what the parents and generations of parents had told you.

But now those parameters have opened up. And yes, you are going to have old issues that are going to come up, but then, as we spoke previously about the measure of mastery, you are going to see that you can quickly surrender and let them go. And, let me say first of all, as you do judgment of any issue, there is no judgment of you. It is an experience; that is all it is.

You can stay in that judgment as long as you want to or as short as you want to; it is just what you are experiencing. You will move on then to love, to love self, and to laugh at self and to say, "Oh, there's that issue again. I know it well. Okay, I'm going to wrestle with it for a few minutes, maybe even an hour, maybe even a whole day or longer. I'm going to wrestle with it until I'm really complete with it. And if it comes up again, I'll wrestle with it again, because how dare it come up again."

But throughout all of that, what you are really saying is, "I am the master. I am going to wrestle with it until I'm done with it." And that is the master speaking. It is not the issue speaking, but it is the master speaking, and it is okay to wrestle with old issues. There is no time limit. Just do what you want to do with the old feelings, and if they do not feel good, then you move on.

The next year in your timing is going to give you opportunity not only to be in judgment of yourself, but to be in judgment of others. Many of your so-called leaders are not leading. They are leading from behind, allowing others to go out and do the hard work while they sit behind the desk and wonder, "Which choice suits my career better than another choice?"

They also are wrestling with their issues, their own issues from this lifetime and other lifetimes. So you can cut them a bit of slack, perhaps not too much, but some. You will have opportunity to watch ones wrestle with their own inner conscience, their own divine knowing of peace and respect, and how they weigh the inner Voice against worldly acclamation and temporal power.

You are going to see some of the leaders waking up and speaking perhaps of unpopular things to speak; to take up issues and to be brave enough to speak against the current tide of what has been.

You are going to see some of your leaders saying things that are not putting their career forward, but yet saying what needs to be said. You have a leader in this geo-political area who came into office a year ago by speaking what the common man wanted to have said. And now you are waiting for him to get it together and start using what energy he can to put forward some of the programs that you want to see happen.

He is a very wise person. He has been a leader in other lifetimes, as well, and he comes to this position with great knowledge. And he is biding his time. He is not being indecisive as some would portray him. He is biding his time to allow some of the pieces to fall into place, to allow some of the ones that he works with to have time to resolve in their own minds and hearts what is important and to work through some of their issues, as well.

By appearances, it looks like he is not really doing that much, but the greatest of masters are the ones who do not tell you how to do something. They show you by being, and that is what he is doing. He is showing great patience. He is listening to everyone, which allows them some clarity as they get a chance to put forward their position and how they feel about various things; he is being as the wise parent or as the master who allows other ones to speak until finally they may come to some clarity about what their true position is and why they feel that position to be right or not right. And it takes awhile to be able to look at issues from different angles.

In this next year you are going to see some conflicts coming up because of that allowance, and you are going to hear a lot of the same old rhetoric, and yet there is going to be a new voice that is going to start to be heard. It began some time ago, and it is going to increase in volume so that not only those of you who want to hear a new voice of respect, but other ones are going to be able to hear it, as well.

You have built into this reality the most wonderful gift of time, and you chafe against it sometimes. There is a process that seemingly stretches on and on. There is a saying in your world that ones like the fast food; they like everything immediately if not yesterday, and so you are expecting instant results--and the expectation is based on a true Reality, capital "R", of remembering instant manifestation. You remember from other times, other realities and other times in this reality, where you would think what you wanted and with the snap of a finger or a reaching out, it would be right there.

However, the rules of the game as they are set right now in this reality are that it is going to be a process, and that takes a little bit longer. But in this next year you are going to see an acceleration of time. Many of you have been feeling that as soon as you get up in the morning, the day is finished and you have not done all of the things you had on your list to do.

This next year is going to be even more accelerated--just what you wanted to hear. However, there is a new twist to it, because you are learning, remembering, how to breathe and step out of reality and allow whatever has to be done in that day to manifest itself.

In your next year, what you have seen in the financial arena is going to continue to accelerate and to look, by all appearances, not that great. However, it is a shake-up that has been long in coming and necessary. Your banks are not going to fail. You are not going to have a cataclysmic all-of-a-sudden closing of the banks, where your money is no longer good.

But the banks are going to continue to change. The ones that have not been operating with the best of intentions--and that includes many--are going to partner with other ones, merge, and there is going to be more oversight of them. A year ago in the collective thinking there was a feeling of potential panic that the government would have to shore up the financial institutions; otherwise, everything would collapse. So some golden coins – or rather some figures on paper – were transferred to appease the collective fear.

This year there is a turnaround happening, where in truth the financial institutions--which includes all of the means for manifesting your dreams, your true dreams that come from the higher Self--are going to be partnering with you to bring forth those Dreams--capital "D"--to bring forth the dreams that are based on love, on the heart. So you are going to see a bit of what your news media loves to play up: drama.

Now, your news media is most fun to watch. They are as a dog with a bone. They will take an issue and they will gnaw on that bone, and gnaw on it over and over and over for days and days, until the next bone comes along, and then they chew the new bone. They give you the most dire prophesies because the human collective loves the adrenaline rush. It makes you feel alive.

Your news media want the sponsors to pay their salaries, so therefore they put on the programs that are going to appeal to mass consciousness, and mass consciousness yet wants the adrenaline rush and wants to know that there can be problems out there, and it wants to know about them right away so that it can secure itself against any problems. That is separated ego speaking.

However, you are also going to see a growing subconscious – and then conscious --feeling of optimism. And whenever you have optimism, in this reality that believes in duality, what do you have coming along as companion? Pessimism, of course, the negative. And the brighter the optimism, the darker the dark, so it seems.

So you are going to see in this next year a lot of the light and the dark clashing. That is where you are going to have opportunity to judge holy judgment; in other words, to step back from what is happening and to say, "Everything, even this, serves the atonement, and the quicker we get on with it, the better."

And judgment will come up. It is the human habit to first have judgment; then comes discernment. And you will be moving more and more quickly into the place of discernment and hope.

You are going to see some big battles this next year. I do not mean the usual kind of warfare, although that is going to go on, but the battles of light and dark and the battles of your leaders within themselves, "Do I dare put my career on the line by voting for something that would be good for my fellow man, or should I play along with the game that has been played for so long?" The younger generations in many geo-political groupings – countries, you call them – will be rising up in new thinking, no longer satisfied with the old ways because of the influence of your technology, the internet, which allows them access to progressive information.

This next year is going to be watched, not only by you, but by other Intelligences, as well. As we have spoken to you in other times, you are all star seeds. You have come from other constellations in previous incarnations that may be of form such as this, and more often not of human form, not recognizable form. But I will call them incarnations, because they have been experiences that could be delineated as a lifetime, however long, however short.

You are all star seeds, each and every one of you. Each and every one of the brothers and sisters have all come from different planetary systems. Now, those of you who are of like mind, have a common background, a lineage I will call it, of having come from the same star seed constellations, and you find each other and you recognize each other when you come together. There is a feeling of familiarity, a feeling that you can be friends with this one, you can be open, you can trust, you can laugh. Other ones do not feel quite so familiar.

Other Intelligences are going to be and are and have been watching this melting pot, this mixture of cultures from other planetary systems which have sent ambassadors into this reality to see how they can play in the sandbox together, whether they will play nice or whether they are going to be throwing the sand around.

In this next year you are going to be more aware of other Intelligences. You have had the most wonderful preparatory experiences, evidences of life beyond human collective consciousness. You have heard of the Roswell experience of the landing of the ETs, the extra-terrestrials, ones from beyond Terra, and you have heard the information rumored about how they were and what they brought with them.

You have had--and they continue--the most wonderful crop circles that are not man-made. Man has tried to replicate them overnight or in one day and has not been successful.

There have been sightings of unusual lights in the heavens and they have been explained as many different things, and yet you have had whole groups in various parts of this country and other countries, as well, who have seen the lights in the skies that could not be explained by ordinary means. So you have had preparation.

In this next year it is most probable--not only possible, but probable--that there will be contact made that will be irrefutable, even though the scientific community and the government is going to want more proof. Now, I say probable contact because, as I have spoken to you many times, you are great masters of improv. You are great masters in timing. So it may happen--as it is seen now, it will happen--but it may happen in this year, or it may be out a little farther than this next year. But as it is seen now, contact with other Intelligences will be made.

Ones are having--if they think about it at all--to come to the realization that there has to be life and Intelligence beyond just this planet. At first it feels scary to the human ego to think that, "There might be something else besides me. What's this ‘besides me' going to look like? Is it going to be friendly? Well, if it arrived here before I've gone and arrived on their planet, then it's probably going to be more powerful. And if it's more powerful, maybe I'd better gear up to defend myself," because that has been the habit of the past.

However, you have had very gradual preparation, preparing because it is going to happen. It is only a matter of the timing.

This new year is going to be exciting because of the changes that you are going to bring forth. Enjoy the changes and know that truly you do not walk the path alone. Always I am with you. I hold you in my love.

So be it.

My friend Karen and Polaris send their Love..

Thursday, 31 December, 2009 (posted 2 January, 2010)
1700 views, 3 comments (3 new) - add a comment Right now you – all of you – stand poised at the edge of a precipice, ready to jump. Or to fly. 2010 is a pivotal year. We have been telling you about changes taking place within you and around you these past several months. Many of you have begun deep, lasting, and profound inner transformation as a result of choosing to step into the flow of change that is taking place all around the world. We repeat here what many of you have heard from other sources, or perhaps sensed yourself: you are here – now – for a reason.

Most of you reading these words will feel a familiar tingling or chill right about now. You are here, right now, in this place and in this time, to take part in what is likely to be one of your species’ greatest times of expansion.

First, a caveat. The change that we speak of will take years to complete or even to come to a place that is readily discernible by most people as great change. This – now – is just the beginning stage of great overall growth. Expansion. You have agreed to be a part of what will end up being among the beginning stage of this expansion. Many of you will intend to incarnate again later on for a role in later stages of this change that will likely require several hundred years overall.

But understand, too, that change is occurring. Many of you are sensitive enough to feel what’s coming and to incorporate new ways of relating into your own lives. Many of you are now riding the crest of the wave yet to come.

Now, what do we mean by “expansion”? The human species has collectively agreed and chosen to begin evolving in certain ways that will eventually support new ways of interacting. Evolution has been occurring throughout your entire history, of course, but soon there will be more evidential changes taking place. Nothing so drastic, perhaps, as growing gills to breathe underwater, but just as significant in the overall effect.

One major change will be in communication. Many of you are facile — without being aware of it — at telepathic communication. You know without knowing, hearing, or seeing. This type of communication and knowing will one day become more prevalent, a primary mode of communication. Already there are measurable overall changes in this compared to just 50 years ago. The advent of the so-called “indigo” and “crystal” children — of which many of you have direct ties — is one contributor to this.

Another major change is more subtle but even more far-reaching – awareness of all life. We often suggest to people whom we counsel to walk outside and observe daily changes, and to spend time in nature simply being with what is present. There is reason for this — exposure to natural life and your earthly surroundings develops a sense of true compassion for the life that teems around you. Have you yet felt life in the dirt under your shoes? Perhaps not but it exists and is no different than stepping on your own arm or leg. This overall awareness of life will cause changes to how people interact with one another and with the Earth and all her inhabitants. But this change is overall slower and more gradual, with more radar blips and ups and downs along the way. You can imagine, however, the far-reaching consequences of true awareness of ALL the life that exists around you.

This is something that you can practice right now:

Take a moment now. Close your eyes and become aware of your surroundings.

Start with sound: listen to the sounds around you, the hum of the fan on your computer, the whirr of the refrigerator, outdoor sounds, your own breath. Then move to what you feel physically: the chair beneath you, your clothing against your skin, air on your face, the flutter of your eyelashes from your closed eyes on your cheeks.

Breathe now and take all this in. Allow it simply to BE a part of you, and you it.

After a few breaths, begin to allow for the possibility of aliveness in everything around you: your chair, the floor, your clothing. Feel the life contained in everything around you. Feel the connection to All That Is through all that is around you.

Feel the joy in this, and the acceptance for YOU, for all that you are. You are simply a part of your surroundings, and your surroundings are a part of you.
Now, what about 2010? We stated earlier that this is a pivotal year, and that is so. There is nothing carved in stone here, but there are some general trends to observe. We state again (we can’t say this too frequently, especially just now) that YOU incarnated in this body at this time in this place for a reason, and that reason has a lot to do with creating and supporting these changes.

Others are grateful to you. Your entire life isn’t only about serving a higher purpose, of course, but the majority of you reading this incarnated at this time so that you’d be among friends with the same idea. Turn to your right and your left and say hello to your neighbor. The people you pass on the street. The people in line at the cashier at the grocer. The people in the long snaking lines of cars moving slowly across endless highways. These are the people who also chose to be here now. You are effortlessly connected to one another in this way.

Global Changes
2010 is pivotal because much change will be evident this year. Not the far-reaching long-term things we mentioned earlier, although those will be a part of the overall change, but you can expect the following:


Lots of people will be losing loved ones this year, people of all ages who are choosing to transition out of life as a way of “opting out” of some of the other changes taking place. Making room for the new. There will be collective grief over this unusual amount of transition, but at the same time there will be joy – the summer bloom turns to dried autumn foliage and then to bare winter earth, returning once again in spring to a new green shoot and a sense of promise. This kind of deep change affects people on so many levels.


Political instability or a sense of insecurity, and sometimes a seeming lack of direction. This will be evident in many areas including the U.S, Canada, some countries in South America, and Japan, among others. The balance is beginning to discernibly shift away from old powers to other parts of the globe and this will be even more evident this year. Look for increased positive attention on several unexpected political models that show the shape of things to come: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Finland, Guyana, Honduras, Iceland, Laos, Malta, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and Uruguay.
A shift by governments that use stealth and covert activity toward more overt blame. Incidents could be strategically created in an effort to maintain a sense of control over what is feared by those governments to be a losing battle in the eventual shift of power mentioned above. This could result this year or soon in a possible military takeover of a major western government. This would not likely be obvious from the outside, even to the inhabitants of that country, and would likely be presented as a need to protect citizens. We could repeat now that this would be, overall, an interim measure and that further change toward a more gentle way of being will be evident sooner than later.
Personal Transformation
We realize that some of what we see as potential for 2010 on a global level can seem frightening from your present perspective. There is, however, balance in this process of change. Nothing happens without regard to the overall eventual result on a collective basis – not even the most minute, personal event is overlooked. But real and lasting change occurs from deep inside, which does often result in discomfort for a time. On a personal level for most people this year, change is present in profound and uplifting ways:

By mid-year, a sense of peace and elation settles over the world, affecting a good many people and allowing most of you to fall into the “flow” of your life. This involves really manifesting what it is you are here doing – in other words, a life purpose or life task. By mid-year, then, a good many of you will feel purposeful and peaceful.
Meditation practices deepen. More people connect with “old-world” ways: herbal lore, shamanism, flower essences, work with gems and minerals, animal wisdom, etc. More people begin feeling tapped into personal intuition or spiritual guides. This is an excellent time to deepen your practice or to begin one, especially by mid-March or so.
Though more people will be without homes, those who don’t choose to exit this year will find the care they need. Perhaps in your back yard, or from your open hand.
By year-end, then, most of you will be in a vastly different place on a personal level. To support your inner process, which in turn supports your ability to take in what’s going on in the world around you, we can suggest:

Find something that matters to you. Whether it’s a particular tree on your walk or a special person or a cause, there is something that really matters to you. Figure out what it is this year and give it love.
Observe the world around you. Whether it’s cars and concrete or it’s blooming cherry trees or tall pines, there is a beautiful world around you. Treat yourself every day with a few minutes simply observing what you see, without judging the merits of the scene. You’ll find yourself, after time, feeling compassion for that world around you.
Deepen your practice — or begin one — of connecting to your own higher wisdom. There are many avenues for this, including scrying, channeling, or simply listening for that deep inner voice inside you. Find a teacher to assist you if you feel guided to do so.
The most helpful thing you can do for your planet is to stay — as best you can — connected to yourself and that which surrounds you.

It’s a wonderful year ahead, wonderful and tragic and beautiful and human. Make it yours, this year. You are here because you chose to be here.

I affirm

As you begin your new year, ask yourself these simple questions:
What shall I now release from my life?
What or who no longer works for me?
What am I holding on to that holds me back?
What thoughts or beliefs belong to the old me?
How am I being unloving to myself?
Am I ready to let go?
What do I believe that really works for me?
What is going on in my life that is terrific and wonderful?
Where am I being very loving to myself?
Where am I most content?
Let me acknowledge myself for all the growth and change.
What do I want to bring to my life?
What do I want to create?
How do I want the next year to be?
Who do I want to bring into my world?
How do I want to look?
What image do I want to project?
How healthy do I want to be?
How prosperous do I want to feel?
How much love am I willing to experience?
What kind of world do I want to live in?
Where do I want my spirituality to go?

Then Affirm:
I am not limited by statistics, medical opinions, time, or authorities.
I am one with the infinite wisdom and capabilities of the Universe itself.
All good is available to me, right here and right now.
All I have to do is to use the power of my thoughts to create that which I desire. And so it is.

---Louise Hay

Intentionally without tension...let it flow..

How much greater we are than we think we are


There are three main things that can interfere with the manifestation of our intentions. The first is the "yet" factor, which calls on us to remember that just because something hasn't manifested yet doesn't mean that it's not going to manifest. The second is the Highest Good factor which asks us to understand that the Universe knows better for us than we know for ourselves. Sometimes it's just not in our Highest Good - or the Highest Good of others involved - for our intention to manifest. And the third thing that can sabotage us is doubt.

There is a old story about the Knower and the Novice that best explains how to deal with our doubts. When the Novice makes an intention and then, soon after, is faced with doubt or resistance, he tends to buy into the doubts. These doubts can be thoughts coming from inside him that tell him that he can't have, or doesn't deserve, or can't afford whatever it is that he's intended to manifest. Similarly, these doubts can also come from his outside environment in the form of well meaning friends or business advisors who say that he couldn't possibly manifest his desires. As the Novice buys into the doubts, regardless of their source, he sabotages his experience, loses trust in the Laws of Manifestation, and stops his forward movement.

The Knower is a different story. When the Knower is confronted with doubts or resistances, instead of believing in them, he ignores them and continues moving forward. He understands that the Intention Process always works - that we are all grand Creators, capable of great things - and all we have to do is trust that when we hold onto a thought that it will manifest for us. We may not know when or where. We just know that it will.


My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am ignoring any doubts and that I am continuing to move forward toward the manifestation of my intentions.

The Reason For The Season is You

Beloved one, many of you are approaching your holy days, the holy days that you have decreed in order to remember not the birth of one Yeshua, but truly the birth of the Christ. You do this annually so that you have opportunity that one of these years perhaps you will remember it is your own birth as the Christ child that you are celebrating. One of these times--and I say to you this is the year for it, because there have been so many changes in the collective consciousness and so many changes in the individual consciousness--you will come to the place where you awake to your own divinity, to your own Christ Self, to the power and magnitude of your divine holy Self.

This year in your days of holiness, celebrate how wonderful you are as an expression of the energy of divine Intelligence come forth from before time began in order to know expression of the divine, in order to know the love that you are, in order to know the joy that you are.

You have come forth not to suffer the slings and arrows of the world, but you have come forth to play as the innocent holy Child, to play in the joy that is your birthright, to go amongst the brothers and sisters and to encourage them to be Light-hearted once again. You are as the diamonds that sparkle on the ocean. You are the ocean, and you are the drop of water that glistens in the sun.

Allow yourself in this year to come alive in the knowing that it is the birth of the Christ child coming awake, finally, in this reality.

Now, in other realities you are awake; you as the One, you are awake. But in this reality you have said, "I will play for awhile with how it feels to be separate, asleep; to walk my own path and feel that I am alone."

When you take the word "alone" and break it apart, it is "all one". And yet the separated ego will come to you and will say, "You are alone in this world. There is no one who understands you. Even the parents did not understand you. The peers do not understand you. You don't even understand yourself."

Separated ego loves to come on stage and remind you of what the belief has been. Take that to heart: has been. However, there has been a shift in your understanding, your perspective, as well as a shift in the collective consciousness that is making it possible--not only possible, but probable--that in this year in your holy days there will be a new perception of what awakening means, and you will feel unburdened by all of the cares of the world and truly able to go with joy in your heart and light in the footsteps.

You will give the gifts to each other happily, because you want to give of yourself. That is why you give the gifts. It has been a tradition for a long, long time to give gifts during the holy days, and it stems from a deep longing to share of yourself. And as this reality believes in materiality and believes that things have to be tangible, you purchase or you make for ones the tangible gift and you give to them whatever that object may be.

But in truth, what you are giving to them is your love. What you are giving to them is your acknowledgment that they matter, that they have value, that you care about them. That is the bottom line, and that is what is important.

In truth, all of the gifts that are of tangible form are going to crumble into dust in time, sometimes in a short time. Sometimes they last a bit longer, but in time the tangible ones will go the way of all material things. But the love that you give to another one allows them to feel valued, to feel that they are important to someone.

You have seen many of the brothers and sisters wondering, "Why am I here? What good is it that I am here?" More and more of the brothers and sisters are facing this question now as the "economic health" of the whole global community seems to be having a bit of a challenge.

More and more of the brothers and sisters are having to set priorities, having to come to a place where they understand what is truly important, and perhaps getting back to giving of themselves rather than purchasing the expensive tangible gifts.

Everything happens to serve the atonement. I have said this over and over to you so many times that when I say it, it goes in one ear and out the other, bypassing the meaning sometimes. Everything serves the realization of at-One-ment.

Even your global economics is serving the Atonement. In some cases, ones are having to look for new employment and feeling that they are worth less if they cannot find it. They are having to reassess their value, to reassess, "What talents do I have? What can I give of myself?" And the wise ones are coming to a place where even if everything else may be stripped away from them, yet the spirit of them is alive and well.

All of you are the masters who have chosen once again to come to this reality that yet believes in separation, in loss, the possibility of abandonment, the possibility of dis-ease. You have chosen, out of great courage, to come once again to a reality that is not your home. You have not been sent here, afar off, as punishment for great sins. You chose to be here, and you chose, out of great courage, to be here one more time--because this is not your first time in this reality. It may be, if you choose, your last time in this reality, or not, because you may choose that you want to come back in full awareness at a time when the collective consciousness has reached full awareness, and that will happen, even in time.

Even now, if everything seems to show you the possibility of negative consequences, there is hope in your heart; hope is a great gift that you give to yourself. For truly, everything is better already. It will be better on the morrow; that is true. But already you can claim it right now.

It takes only the slightest shift in perception to say, "Hey, I am okay; not only okay; I am a wondrous being. How did I know how to put together all of the millions of cells of this body?" You coalesced the light energy into a form, where the body functions according to what seems to be an unconscious process, but in truth and in time you are going to know the consciousness of the divinity of the Energy which allows you to be incarnate with a solid form, and at the next moment you can be the energy that walks through walls.

Now, in this time as we are approaching your holy days, as we are approaching the time when you will be giving the gifts to each other, I would like to give you a gift. What would you like for Christmas? Think about it. What would you like? What do you want for Christmas?

Close the eyes for a moment and go within and take note of what comes to mind first of all. What do you want for Christmas this year? Think of the tangible things. Usually they come first. Take note of what comes after that. What do you want for Christmas?

Think about it. Allow your mind to be open.

If it has not come to you in just these few minutes, allow yourself in the next meditative time when you sit quietly to go deeper with it. What do you want for Christmas? What is your greatest desire? And know that truly you already have it. I gift it to you in this moment. Whatever it is that you desire, look for it, because it will be there. Look for it, because it is already yours.

I have the power to gift to you whatever you would ask for, for I am the very Son of God. Is it not written that I am the Son of God? I have the power to give you your heart's desire, and you have the power to receive it.

It may be hidden under the Christmas tree somewhere. It may be hidden under the Hanukkah bush. Most likely, it is hidden under a belief that says it cannot be. But I have the power to give it to you, and you have the power to receive it. Trust it. Receive it. Receive it joyfully. Open to it, and know that the secret, which is truly not secret, is that nothing can be denied the beloved -- which you are -- Holy – which you are – Child – which you are – because we are One.

Now, --do not fail me in this--I expect a thank you note. (Smile) When you realize your heart's desire, when you have identified it and when you have looked for it and when you have found it and when you have realized, "I had it all the time," and when you say, "Thank you" to Self, know that truly my love is the Love that you are abiding in, because it is the divine love of the One, and that is what Christmas--Christ Mass--is all about.

So be it.

- Jeshua ben Joseph (Jesus) in expression through Judith

Oh yes we can create the world we want..

The founder of Damanhur, sent these reflections to be read at the World Conference for Peace, Harmony and Non-violence, in Alyar, India, August 2002.
Peace is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity today, requiring urgent, effective solutions. Yet before we can speak of peace, it is important to establish what is meant by peace. The absence of war is not peace. An armistice is not peace. In order to achieve peace, it we do not need to have a winner and a loser.

In order to achieve peace in the wolrd, an exchange of human and territorial resources needs to bring more advantages than the conflict. There cannot be complete, lasting peace when others are robbed of their resources; it can happen only through co-operation, which can be achieved when the involved parties understand that it will bring advantages to everyone.



A respect for differences and all cultures is thus crucial because the resources, in order to be useful to everyone, must be diversified; it is the exchange of what is different that can permit an avoidance of conflicts aimed at aquiring resources. An equal and fair exchange arises out of the differences between cultures. It is the wealth rooted in the territory that allows for the creation of a local market.


Education plays a very important role in this process, being the means to cultivate valuable human resources. The differences constitute a great wealth that can be best expressed through specialisation. Specialisation is the result of the characteristics of the territory, the culture and the traditions of peoples and individuals. The cultural, genetic and individual differences must be respected, encouraged and rewarded. Intelligence must be stimulated in order to create equal exchange, constant growth and renewal of cultures.
In the world today, there are so many sad examples of peoples who use their customs and traditional cerimonies to attract tourists and their money. This impoverishes even more than ever. It is a new formula of induced colonialism which denies the dignity of these peoples. There can be full dignity even in poverty, but not if we accept this modern formula of imperialism. Those who accept alms-giving accept the crumbs of others. That does not create peace but only generates rage against these new colonisers who take away from these peoples the ability to produce something that has value.

Personal advantage generates poverty for others; collective advantage generates shared prosperity. Damanhur came into being and flourished on the basis of this idea, demonstrating that this method works not only in theory but also in practice. Damanhur has grown without any external financial backing, basing its development on its own strengths and above all on the integration of the human resources that make it up. With 30 years of experience, it is ready to teach its method and to exchange ideas, resources and experiences with whoever is interested, whether they be an institution, a group or an individual. Together we can bring about new sustainable societies, based on equal exchange and respect for differences, in order to create true and lasting peace among all the cultures and peoples of the planet.

Damanhur is located outside of Turin Italy. It is an Intentional Community. I implore you to google Damanhur and see peace in action. Many wonderful things are happening all over Gaia...transformation is taking place.

The Eighth Intent
Shine Your Light

This is from The Intenders...a truly wonderful story!

I am a magnificent being, awakening to my highest potential. I express myself with joy, smiling easily and laughing often. I shine my light.
Working directly with the light is our next step. It doesn't cost us anything to see ourselves happier, more abundant, or full of joy. No one sends us a bill when we see our body in its ideal state of health. We don't need anyone's permission, and we don't have to be in a special place. Nor do we require the use of any fancy devices or tools. In fact, we don't need anything other than our imagination and the light itself, and it's always there, just waiting for us to do with as we please. It doesn't take long working with the light until we begin to shine brighter than ever.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I awoke, a radiantly beautiful woman stood before me. She was dressed in a white-fringed, buckskin dress, intricately beaded with ancient Native American symbols. An eagle feather was tied to her single black braid, and beside her stood a young, pure white buffalo, grazing quietly. I knew from the stories I'd read years ago that she was White Buffalo Calf Woman.
"You're real!" I blurted out.
"I'm as real as you are," she answered, smiling at me.
"But I thought you were a myth or a fairy tale...."
She laughed outloud. "Much is not as it appears to be."
I thought about that and nodded.
She looked at me thoughtfully, her eyes showing a genuine compassion. "You are very close to stepping further into the world of Spirit," she said. "In the world of Spirit, all is known. No secrets exist, and no one can hide. Those who live in Spirit see all that goes on in the world of Matter. But those in the world of Matter do not see into the world of Spirit, unless they learn to shine their light."
"And how do I learn to shine my light?" I asked.
"By doing just what you are doing, Robert. By overcoming your fears. By taking responsibility for your own actions and stepping bravely into the unknown. By asking for guidance, like you did in your intentions this morning."
I didn't say anything. As far as I was concerned, there were still a lot of things that I was afraid of.
"I will give you an example," she said. "When you came upon this magical living stream, you didn't hesitate to drink all you wanted. You trusted in your intuition that the water was good for you, and you weren't frightened to touch it."
"That's true."
"Many people in your world would not have done what you did. They would think the water was poisonous, and they would shy away from it. Their beliefs would have kept them from experiencing the special revitalizing qualities that this water passes on to those who drink of it." She reached down and ran her hand, ever-so-slowly, through the water. From where I sat, it looked like a thousand diamonds glistening as the water trickled through her fingers.
"It is the same with many things in your world. Your people are frightened of things that, in reality, are very beneficial for them."
"What things?" I asked.
"You labor under two great limitations, Robert. These limitations pervade your world and keep you from experiencing your birthright. The first limitation is that there are no worlds other than the one in which you are living. It amazes those in my world how this idea can continue to exist, especially in light of all of the new information which is being made available to you. Where do you think your dreams are coming from? Where do your thoughts, your feelings, or your creative inspirations come from? There is so much more that awaits your people, and yet they cannot access it as long as they believe it doesn't exist."
"Our limiting beliefs create our limited reality?" I stated, rhetorically.
"That's the way it works, Robert. If, on the other hand, your people would seek, in earnest, to step into the world of Spirit, then ancient doors would open, and old friends would bid them to enter."

My intention for today is:
I intend that I take some time everyday
to see myself in my highest light.
