ARTArticleThe Business of Your Health"What would happen if everybody ate lots and lots of fresh organic food that was minimally processed? I think we'd have an epidemic of health."rn-Andrew W. Saul, Ph.D.ARTArticleThe Christ Consciousness and the Twelve Holy Days of ChristmasIt has been an honor for me to participate in the 12 Holy Days of Christmas, a very special time of year where the veil is lifted between the two worlds. These worlds are really one with angels, teachers, and the Christ all awaiting our desire to know the truth of their existence. The concept of the Christ has been hidden in dogma and man's law. I believe the Christ to be part of the divine Trinity: Father, Son or Daughter (the Christ), and Holy Spirit Mother. The Christ is the "love of God made manifest." The Christ is not a person but an "office" or "position" we all attain to.ARTArticleThe Closing CeremonyYesterday was the last day of my 46th year and I kept hearing as much in my mind. As the thought continuously made itself known to me, I decided to revel in the fact that an ending and therefore a beginning was taking place. I looked at my surroundings as though this was the last time I would see everything—and in fact, in a way it was true. I will never be that person I was yesterday again since today, I am who I am in this moment of now. It was refreshing to see the world in this Light.ARTArticleThe Difference Between A Psychic and a MediumI would like to help clarify and hopefully provide some insight about the differences regarding the meanings of the term “Psychic” and the term “Medium.” These two abilities are not the same, nor are they used for the same reason. For clarification the definitions are: • Psychic – One that through their own abilities can tune in to and sense (read) information found in the energetic field of another person.rARTArticleThe Enlightened Gift of Hopelessness"There are so many things we do in order to feel happy. Whether you are going to party all night or promise to make improvements you do it in hope to be happy. But what does this say? It says you are not happy now. Or rather, you are not satisfied with your experience in this moment. You do not want to experience what is here and therefore there must be something you can do, you can get in order to avoid this moment. And then it is the looking forward to something that gives you the fantasy of happiness.ARTArticleThe Essence of Meditation RevealedNo matter which spiritual techniques you practice, it all really comes down to attention. Whether you are watching your breath or repeating the name of a Guru or God, or are asking "who am I" or witnessing or surrendering, they all require your complete attention. And it is through the practice of attention that you grow in awareness. Understanding intellectually only gets you on to the path. Through practice you experience what the words point to. And through experience, that which you are seeking becomes your reality.ARTArticleThe Fifth Agreement - A Powerful New Agreement from don Miguel RuizThe Fifth Agreement – What is it? Miguel Ruiz, bestselling author of The Four Agreements has not come out with another Agreement, perhaps the most powerful agreement of all, The Fifth AgreementARTArticleThe Fourth Eye: Eye of the UniverseThe Fourth Eye: Eye of the Universer Byrn Lisa Raphael The third eye is well known to seekers of truth and knowledge. The third eye, located between the eyebrows, is associated with the sixth sense, intuition, gut feeling. The third eye enhances our ability to tune in to the spiritual. If the third eye enhances our sixth sense and helps connect us to the spiritual, what, then, is the fourth eye?ARTArticleThe Healing Power of Organic FoodsWhen I was six years old my mother announced that our family would sample the culinary delights from a different country at least once every month. Mom prepared food at home and we dined out at restaurants, as well. That may not seem extraordinary coming from today's standards, but this occurred during the early seventies, when many Americans didn't explore anything beyond white bread, meat and potatoes. For me, I not only discovered which fork to use with each course, I learned how to use chopsticks by the time I was seven. You won't catch me using silverware at an Asian restaurant!ARTArticleThe Heart of Virgo: Time of HarvestMutable energy with the Earth element gives us the sig Virgo. Virgo uses the Mutability to deal with life’s physical needs. Busy with the maintenance of life and the well being of the body. The Earth element gives structure and form to the Mutable quality; therefore it can go into detail, organize and search for information that helps in dealing with life and the understanding of it. The restless and searching aspects of Mutability could go into looking for different or better ways in doing things or searching for solutions.ARTArticleThe Infinity Symbol and Learning to Receive Messages from SpiritWhen you look at an infinity symbol, what do you see? If you take your index finger and draw an infinity symbol, basically you are taking two wave patterns and CONNECTING them. When your finger goes one direction, the finger draws a loop and then it comes back to a center point and continues to draw another loop. These loops are connected in the center, but they are connected because the line was drawn as one continuous looping line. Two loops are merging into one by being aligned.ARTArticleThe Larger PerspectiveThe Larger Perspective A guided meditation from the Carriers of Light Find a comfortable place and lie there resting for a moment. Now, begin to concentrate. See if you can find out just who it is who is lying there inside this body. See if there is a place within you that feels more like yourself than any other place. See if you can identify a spot that is more yourself than any other spot. Where do you reside inside this body? You will see that there is no spot in particular that is you. There is no place that you can identify as more yourself than any other place.ARTArticleThe Pause, MindfulnessMindfulness “LOVE AFTER LOVE The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.” -Derek WalcottrARTArticleThe Power Of Our ThoughtsWhat have your thoughts been like lately? Negative or Positive? It is amazing to note that anything and everything that has happened in this world first began with the power of thought. Our thoughts resides in the seat of our mind, where our will and emotions also dwell. By definition, a thought is an idea, mental picture, or opinion occurring suddenly in the mind. Our thoughts are powerful tools for we must first have a thought before anything can be created in life.ARTArticleThe Power of YESIn my previous article on “Spiritual Separation Anxiety” I spoke of the universal desire of humanity to find a solution to the pain of feeling separate from source. Once recognized, we journey to transcend the individual ego to create a sense of connectedness, leading to the consequent striving for the ultimate spiritual experience of union or merge with the divine. At my recent Divine Human retreat, not one but many participants claimed this experience of union with God, or Source, which is highly unusual.ARTArticleThe Relevance of Shamanism TodayShamanism can sound arcane, exotic, distant, "other" -- and in the minds of many Western people, this is precisely how and where shamanism exists: somewhere "out there". It is liminal, on the edge of normalcy. The shaman is someone who dances and chants strange sounds to a rhythm only they can hear, a dancer in their own dimension; a crazy, eccentric person out of touch with "reality", moving to the beat of a long lost superstition.ARTArticleThe Ripple Effect of Clarity“Clarity is contagious! When you gain more clarity in one area of your life, the energy spills over and empowers every other area!” ~~Kumari More and more lately I have been realizing that our ability to receive crystal clarity consistently from our divinely guided intuition may be the single most important skill we can achieve. It helps us to feel confident, assured of our choices, and gives us the courage and inner strength to withstand the criticism when we need to dance to the beat of a different drummer. ClarityARTArticleThe Secret Life of a FeministThe Secret Life of a Feminist By Lisa Raphael The story of O was my bedside companion from the time of my first sexual encounters until I left my husband, thirty-five years later. A liberated woman, I never understood my fascination with the book.rARTArticleThe Sign of Cancer - 4th Holy Day of Christmas - December 29The sign of Cancer - 4th Holy Day of the 12 Holy Days of Christmas is assigned to a Disciple, sign of the Zodiac, Spiritual attainment, Spiritual part of the physical body, and a passage from the Bible. My book "Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26 - January 6" is a compilation of my 26 year dedication to these days. My book can be used all year as we travel through each sign of the Zodiac. The sign of Cancer brings in the Summer Solstice. It is the time of year where we have the longest days and shortest nights. Its Spiritual keynote is Light.ARTArticleThe Spiritual Law of AttractionTHE SPIRITUAL LAW OF ATTRACTION Over the past few years I have become increasingly fascinated with the whole concept of metaphysics or The universal law of attraction which is the term most of us are more familiar with. I began to explore and embrace affirmations especially those of Louise Hay who has guided many people gently through the process of transforming their thoughts to assist in bettering their lives and healing themselves physically and emotionally.ARTArticleThe Truth about PrayerHave you ever been in this situation? I know I have. You are in a group prayer meeting and you are listening to a particular brother or sister going non-stop for it seems like a decade; or you are at a funeral or church event and the person giving the prayer is saying the correct words, so much so that it is evoking a lot of ‘Hallelujahs’ and ‘Amen’ and ‘Yes Lords’. All you can think about, right at that moment, is ‘Man, this person knows how to pray’, or ‘Man this person knows how to touch God’, and you are left feeling intimidated because you know that you cannot pray in that manner.ARTArticleTHE TURNING POINTThere were three of us seated in the living room. The internet and cable was down so we were spending more time reading and talking. It was a good thing. Marion suggested that we all talk about the strangest metaphysical experience we have ever had. I thought to myself there were too many to count, but I would narrow it down to a few.ARTArticleThe Waiting GameDo you play the waiting game? In other words, do you procrastinate on your plans to the point of paralysis? It is one thing to be pragmatic about a given strategy or initiative; but once the assessment is complete, it is time to move onto the next step. Too often, people get caught up in the waiting game in the hopes that “something good is going to happen”, but never see the thought through fruition. They simply think that by doing nothing to progress their lives, that fate will somehow jump up to the plate and drop the golden goose egg in their laps. This is not how success works.ARTArticleThe Wrong End of the TelescopeHow a simple reversal of perspective will give you the life you desire. But first I have to share a word with you that is so significant to our health and happiness it is the only key to our personal joy and to the flourishing of the Earth and the Universe she rests in. So mystical is this word that it frightens us and wakes us in the night and causes war among brothers. So magical a word that when we say it with understanding we are liberated from all fears – forever. This word represents a gift of creation so powerful that it rivals the miracle of our birth.ARTArticleThere's No Place Like HomeOur spiritual journey; for some it begins with a simple feeling of discontent and for some with great dis-ease; but at some point in our human experience we seek relief. Some people have the ability to reason out a simple course correction and they move swiftly in that direction without really questioning it. For others it is the journey of a lifetime to find what they are looking for.ARTArticleThinning Down in the New YearA new calendar year urges us to set new intentions for the coming twelve months. Often playful, sometimes serious, these resolutions allow us to focus on what we hope to accomplish and also allow us an opportunity to ponder the possibilities we map out for ourselves. Faced with a pencil and blank sheet of paper, we look up towards the ceiling as we strive to articulate our dreams, aspirations adventures for the coming year. One popular goal, appearing for many of us year to year, is to lose weight.ARTArticleThree Big Horoscope Whistles, or Personality TypingThree Big Horoscope Whistles,or Personality Typing There are three big horoscope whistles that help create a quick personality picture. Most people have heard of their sun sign, and yes the Sun sign can help create an idea of personality type. But at best it represents only one third of an ideal method. I share this information because I am so tired of being pressed by people about their Sun Sign. By itself a Sun Sign just doesn’t tell us too much. That idea of “typing” suggests that one's birth chart can give some idea of personality.ARTArticleThree Levels of Self-Liberation in Dzogchen MeditationThe goal of Dzogchen meditation is to discover the mind’s true essence, its natural state. This essence is traditionally described with words like spacious, open, clear, luminous, and aware. It is nondual.ARTArticleThree Little P's: the Power of FocusI am not an avid golfer, but recently I joined some of my brothers-in-law and a few of their friends in playing 6 rounds of golf over the span of 72 hours. While I scored a birdie and a few pars over that marathon of 108 holes, my total scores were less than stellar.ARTArticleThrough The Tunnel - NDE of a Walk-InThrough The Tunnel by Martin Brofman, Ph.D. A Personal Account of NDE by a Walk-In I was at the Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia. I had just been told that I had a "blockage" in my spinal cord, from the fourth to the seventh cervical vertebrae at the level of the neck, that had been responsible for the symptoms I had been experiencing. My right arm was paralyzed, my legs were spastic, and there were sensations like electric shocks running through my body when I moved my head.
