You Are The Reason (Peace Song)

Well for this week 'that's all folks'. But before I go, I really must share the following youtube link with you to the musical wonders of Bonniestecroix and her peace song 'You are the Reason'. Believing tears and crying are the most powerful form of healing there is, this track helped me cry not once but twice! No doubt they were Indigo tears of frustration with the world As It Is, but also tears of hope for What Could Be...

You--we--are the reason...for the sun to rise! And don't you forget that, at least till next week... ;-)

'Mood of the Week' Tarot Card

Every week a Tarot card is randomly selected for all you readers, and then I write up a mini reading, affirmation, and meditation, for your growth and enjoyment. This week's card is...

THIS WEEK'S CARD: The Hierophant ('Joseph of Arimathea')

Coincidentally enough, this tarot card has kept making an appearance for me since last week. The hierophant represents a wise figure to whom we seek counsel, and yet this figure is also us. The card represents the balance of listening to the signs and messages around us, and yet remembering to listen to our own inner wisdom. Because there is no real difference between the 'inner' and the 'outer'--the outside is a reflection, ultimately, of the inside--if we listen carefully enough on the outside, the world speaks to us even when it is silent; and of course, if we listen carefully on the inside, we have an inner world that speaks to us too.

Although the 'outside' world may speak to us, we must be wary of making anyone on the outer world a Guru. Remember that the word Guru can be pronounced, 'G...u...r...u'! It is fine to consult others for their advice or wisdom, but be careful not to become lazy or dependent. Do not use other's access to divinity and inner wisdom--the Hierophant--as your crutch. After all, if you do that too much your own Hierophant will not be given the chance to grow. Intuitive muscle is like any other. Keep exercising it and it gets stronger like a muscle. Stop using it and it atrophies. Use it or lose it! Although of course you can never truly lose your inner connection to the wise-man or woman within.

So, in short, the message of this card, as with all tarot cards, is Balance. If you've been relying on the outside world for your information and decision making processes, spend more time within. Or maybe you need to balance yourself by doing the opposite! Spend more time listening to the messages on the outside, and allow yourself the freedom to consult the Divine Wisdom that expresses itself through the outside world, accepting that ultimately 'as within so without'. Guidance comes in many forms: coincidences (synchronicity), other people's words (even if the person doesn't realise they are 'answering' your question).

Try asking the Universe a question and wait to see what happens! Be rest assured, if you are open to guidance within and without you will ALWAYS receive an answer in some form, or at least a key or sign-post guiding you in the right direction. Have faith and trust in the Universe's ability reach you in any way necessary!

AFFIRMATION

'I ask, listen, and trust in the Wisdom of the Universe within and without me...'

MEDITATION

Close your eyes, take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Take a journey to Joseph of Arimathea's Thorn Tree growing on Wearyall Hill, Glastonbury, in England. You walk up the hill towards the tree, feeling the ground beneath your feet and the sun shining upon your face. Then you reach the tree, closing your eyes again--yes, closing your eyes a second time!--and thus enter another level of reality again. Yet another 'dream within a dream'. Then you become aware of the presence of Joseph of Arimathea who has a message for you. Simply wait and see what the message is.

Once you have your message, come back and open your eyes. Remember that, ultimately, nothing 'outside' can come unto you unless it did not also exist within you, for how else could it get there except that it was already there waiting to be re-discovered. And a thing can only be felt within as true because it was, at some level, already known. You all ready have all the answers you seek, right now, within you...all you have to do is ask. Namaste

Who are the Indigo Children?

Who are the Indigo Children?
by Jamie Basil

The indigos, by their very nature, can be hard to define. They resist labels and hate nothing more than limiting perception. However, we live in a world of labels, and so whilst 'indigo' may seem inappropriate in many ways, we realise there are worse labels out there like 'Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder', a common psychiatric explanation given for these children (and adults, because many of us have grown up now!). Doreen Virtue turns that label on its head beautifully by re-labelling ADHD 'Attention Dialled into A Higher Dimension'! Enough said...

Indigos were first noticed in modern times by Nancy Anne Tappe in the late 70s, a parapsychologist who started noticing children with indigo auras. By 1984 it was believed masses of these children were coming in, and today most children are 'evolutionary changelings' of some kind. They are referred to, in general, as 'the New Kids on the Block', preparing us for what lies in store 2012...

Please note that the indigos, crystals, star-kids (whatever you choose to call them) may be different but they are still human. The main point is that physical age has nothing to do with spiritual and psychic wise-ness. The Soul has it's own age. In the words of Swami Prabhupada:

'The body is changing--from one form to another--but the spirit soul is existing eternally without changes. ...our body has been changing... This process is generally known as 'growth', but actually it is a change of body. On this earth we see change of day and night, and change of season. The more primitive mentality attributes this phenomenon to changes occurring in the sun. ...weaker...[or] dead. With more advanced knowledge we see that the sun is not changing at all...'
 
And with more advanced knowledge we find that physical age does not determine Soul age. We are all 'older than our years', including our children!

So how does one work out if you or your child is indigo? Well, I believe we are all indigo really, which is a big part of why the indigo children are here in the first place. Simply by being here, they wake us up through rememberance of their original state, to who we really are. Many of us have forgotten, but the indigo remember although they don't necessarily know that they are 'indigo'. They may thus be recognised by the following traits:

1). They are very strong willed and may appear 'opinionated' or 'cocky'. They dislike any form of authority.

2). They are system busters and assumption questioners. Instead of accepting explanations like 'That's the way it is' they ask 'WHY is it THAT way?' Instead of just looking for problems they also like to find solutions. They can go into any system, and, without training or education, quickly notice inconsistencies and hypocrisy.

3). They are often mis-labelled as 'ADHD' (hyperactive and attention deficit), autistic, AS (asperger's syndrome or high functioning autism) Bi-Polar, dyslexic etc.

4). They are highly intelligent, but often not classicly so. In other words, they tend to have high IQs but they may not perform well in schools or tests due to boredom. Note that at least a quarter of children with high IQs, sometimes at genius level, flunk school exams! They may also have genius in some intelligence other than IQ, for example creative genius. (See below, also, for 'high SQ').

5). They are very wise and aware for their age. May appear spiritually precocious and knowledgable (separate from religious knowledge). They have, in other words, a very high SQ (Spiritual Quotient)!

6). On the Myer's Brigg personality inventory they tend to score as ENFP (extraverted, intuitive, sensing, perceiving) types. I predicted this whilst at Open Univeristy studying psychology in 2001. A recent surge of indigos reporting such scores on the Children of the New Earth magazine chat room has appeared confirming my logic. Of course, I am an ENFP too, which is why I made the prediction, as well as the fact that ENFP's tend to outperform the other 15 types on tests of Psi (or ESP, extrasensory perception) according to research.

7). They will report feeling chronically estranged, 'lost', and searching, with a strange anxiety that 'something' is going to 'happen'. This, I believe, is due to a semi-conscious awareness of who they really and their life mission which is related in some way to the environmental, social, and spiritual-scientific revolutionary changes (aka 'ascension 2012') that are happening on Earth. Once they become conscious of this, the floating anxiety tends to dissipate.

8). Display sensitivity to other people's thoughts and emotions, their environment, and life in general. This includes a vivid awarness of their own 'inner world'. Such children may be considered 'intuitive' or 'psychic'.

9). They may report imaginary friends, seeing and communicating with spirits, angels, ETs etc

10). They have an apparently poor sense of 'time'. They may even have problems understanding the concept, not just being 'on time'! They tend to think in terms of patterns and non-linear relationship (holism) rather than organise themselves according to the concept of the 'forward arrow of time.'

11). They may report past life and even future life recall, or having lived on 'another planet'! More rarely, some experience living a 'secret' or parallel life as some other being, often 'extraterrestrial' or believe they are foreign to this planet. (I tend to refer to those children with extraterrestrial life recall or who experience themselves as 'not from here' as StarChildren or 'Indigo StarChildren. Those who have serious difficulties in this area I believe are suffering from 'Multidimensional Personality Confusion'!)

What is Ascension 2012? 'Crash' Course!

Well hopefully I haven't thrown a spanner in the works by calling this a 'crash course', when it's meant to be about ascending onwards and upwards! ;-) In any case, my work as a Lightworker involves very much what I call 'the physics of personal and collective Ascension'. Many of my psychic-chanelled readings involve references to personal and collective 'consciousness evolution', and of course because the new kids (the indigos etc.) are the product of the Ascension process, the two go hand in hand.

This is a very deep subject which you may have heard about under the name of '2012' or 'the Age of Aquarius', or may not have heard about it at all. Whatever you may or may not have heard, do not be put off by the esoteric sounding name, for 'ascension' is a phenomenon which affects us all--whatever we may believe--and even if we feel more like we're 'crashing' at times (which is all part of the course, me thinks!) The following is a simple introduction, a crash course (oops, there we go again) in Ascension physics ..

I like to think of Ascension as a form of evolution. Evolution of consciousness can occur at any time and is possible because of the very construct we call 'time'. Evolution is, in simple terms, the changing and growing of form and consciousness as myriad expressions of the God-force (the timeless and formless) across space-time. Evolution of consciousness is also the evolution of body, not just mind, for the mind and body are One, not separate.

Many of us have heard from science the mysterious phenomenon of the replacement of all cells within us every seven years, cells within every part of our bodies including the brain. The question is, after all that, how on earth does the 'I'--the self--still exist? You could even argue that the 'I' of today--mind as well as body--is not the same 'I' that existed seven years ago or even yesterday!

I am suggesting that in the world of illusion nothing is static or solid. It is all fluid and changing form. The process of 'death' which is the same as re-birth is occuring and reoccuring every moment. The only thing we can be really sure of in the world of form is that nothing stays the same, even though we may choose to perceive that it does! The third law of thermodynamics says, 'Energy cannot be destroyed, it only changes form'. And, likewise, through the process of Ascension we 'human-beings' (really souls) cannot die but only change form, just as the caterpillar becomes the butterfly. (And which, by the way, is one of the few animals which totally re-writes it's DNA, nothing less than a form of biological alchemy).

But when I refer to 'death', I am not necessarily referring to that big event at the 'end' of our lives! No, I am referring to the very deaths--aka transformations--that occur within our beings at the level of mind, cell, and energy, all of the time. The Butterfly is, of course, a beautiful representation of this process for us.

What I am suggesting is that we can and are evolving. Monkeys may not be jumping out of the trees and walking, and we may not be sprouting feathers and flying, but we are evolving nonetheless! Some of us take part in this process 'actively'--by, for e.g., practises like meditation and healing--and yet we ALL take part in this process 'passively'. Whatever we think or embody we add to the energetic-evolutionary pool of potential and actual expression. What do I mean? Well again, without getting into the detail (just yet anyway!), everything within our reality is inter-connected. It is like our minds (and hence bodies) are connected by a superhighway of informational-light akin to all the computers of the world connected by internet. I find it curious that the word Universe contains 'uni' the prefix for 'one'! Maybe someone is trying to tell us something...

So if evolution is something that always happens, why is it such a big subject these days? Well, when I was growing up, I was fascinated by the number 3 and any multiple thereof. This led to a big fascination with the number 12. I realised in my teens that the date 2012 was significant. Taking the numbers further, 21st of December 2012 contains an awful lot of 12's! Imagine my surprise, then, to start hearing more and more about the date of 21/12/2012. One of the main sources for the 2012 date comes from the Mayan's, whose calendar 'ends' on that date. Some have foreseen this as meaning that the world 'ends' on this date, some that it is only an ending of the world as we know it. Either way, the date remains highly significant in people's minds the world over.

What do I believe? I believe that because we are all energetic beings, and because we are all interconnected by what I call the 'Universal Wide Web'(or what physicists refer to as quantum entanglement), whatever happens 'in here' or 'out there' affects the rest of the 'All That Is Everywhere'. Philosophy aside, the very same '7 year' process that happens within our cells happens within the 'cells' of the Earth, and indeed within the cells of the Universal.

'As within so without, as above so below'.

In today's language, we might wish to refer to the Universe as a Hologram. Whatever terminology we choose to use, though, every now and then within the world of form allowed by space-time there is a galactic wave of energy from the Source--like a Galactic Wake Up Call--the Earth aligns to the Galactic core, and all beings receive a crescendo of Light and Love. As we head towards the peak of the Ascension process on 21/12/2012, time speeds up and is perceived as non-linear which thereby speeds up the process of evolution, we have a more vivid experience of 'cause and effect' so that we more quickly see the results of our thoughts and actions (manifestation) and more readily understand and release our karma. Because of the speed at which this occurs, it is in other words a Quickening process, and so I refer to the Ascension as being a special form of evolution known as an 'evolution r-evolution'. (Which, of course, allows for rapidly evolved children to appear, known as 'indigo', 'crystal', and 'star' children).

All those who can--i.e. who choose--to move from a place of fear (Solar Plexus issues, 3d) into Love (Heart chakra, 4d) have the choice of another time-stream of evolution by making a leap into at least the 4th dimension. And thereby, the possibility of Heaven upon Earth can become a spiritual and physical reality for us all...
