HEAL THE POLARIZATION
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

Day by day, more and more people are awakening. As they awaken, they begin to remember who they are and why they are here. This realization inspires people to lift up their hearts and minds which, in turn, raises their consciousness and allows the Light of God to increase on Earth. When that occurs, people begin to see with new eyes and hear with new ears. This phenomenon allows people to perceive the Oneness of life and the Divine Truth that all life is interconnected, interrelated and interdependent. The person then KNOWS that we are all One. There is no us and them.

When we awaken our perception of reality is transformed. An awakened person literally thinks, feels, sees and hears with greater awareness. This shift of consciousness allows one to perceive a greater Truth and to comprehend the Oneness of life at a deep level. This creates a knowing within one's Heart Center that is indisputable.

When an unawakened person tries to dispute the KNOWING of an awakened person, it is like a deaf and blind person trying to convince a sighted-hearing person that there is no such thing as color or music. The difference in that situation is that the sighted-hearing person understands perfectly why the deaf and blind person is having trouble grasping the concept of color and music. The sighted-hearing person has compassion for the deaf and blind person and responds to him or her with patience and understanding. Remember this the next time you feel polarized against another person's perception of reality. Remember, people do not know what they do not know.

SHIFTS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH
by Mother Mary through Mary-ma McChrist

As your Mother, I hold your perfection or Divine Blue Print as I did for My Son, Jesus. I call upon you to hold this Immaculate Concept for yourself, your loved ones and our planet, Gaia.

This is especially key as we move into these Times of Tribulation. Many will be leaving Gaia at this time. Three commitments are required to remain. Please commit with me, NOW!

Say with Me: "I commit to: 1) alignment with the Divine Plan, 2) to Love, and 3) to Life!"

Shifts on Earth reflect shifts in Heaven. Even God the Father is different. Lord Adonia has stepped down, or more truthfully, has been absorbed by Our God of Infinite Light. This Father has learned much from the past failures of Lord Adonia. Creation on the 6th level was not perfect. Lord Adonia and Luficer were like two faces of the same coin. and created a world of stuffed feelings, cruelty and dissention. Beside each of the Children of Light who were trapped, Lord Adonia assigned dark beings whose purpose was to keep you from experiencing you full potential and completing your missions in service to the Light.

Lord Adonia and Lucifer are now gone, absorbed into the Heart of our true Father, God the Father of Infinite Light who created them for this test between good and evil. The experiment is now over! Although the game board appears the same, the dark players are now beginning to run Light.

Our God of Infinite Light honors the Mother. The 03-03-03 was an incredible turning point, for the Goddess/Mother has been asked to step through the veil and lift up Her Children. As Mary, I cut the restraints which bound you. I have canceled the patriarchal hierarchies that have controlled you and kept you in bondage. Yes, that unjust energy is now crumbling all around us. The Christed Feminine is here. Mary and Jesus are equal; men and women are equal. Banished are the restrictions of the Piscean Age.

Come My Children, celebrate this New Day. Praises to our New God, the God of Infinite Light.
I AM Mother Mary, Queen of Peace

WRITING: AN INEXPENSIVE THERAPIST
By Janny E. Adkins, RN, BS, HNC

Interesting and fascinating research has been published within the last five years regarding the power of writing to help individuals reduce their pain, depression, and anger when traumatic events occur in their lives. Many of us have been taught to keep a stiff upper lip when bad things happen. Have you ever heard people comment about a grieving person, "They're doing very well." Translate this to mean they are not showing much emotion. Stuffing our feelings simply delays the time or the way we deal with our feelings. Over time unrecognized feelings grow and may erupt causing us to feel out of control emotionally. We can look OK on the outside and be hurting on the inside - often for years. The cultural norm for most Americans is to control their emotions. When emotions are suppressed, heart rate, blood pressure, respirations, and other physiological measurements may elevate. Eventually the repressed emotions may surface in dreams, emotional outbursts, depression, and sleep disturbances. Often the stuffed emotions like anxiety or anger are displaced onto people in our closest relationships. More women than men turn the anger inward and the result is depression. Other times overeating, drinking, and smoking may be attempts to numb our feelings which often go unrecognized from as far back as childhood.

James W. Pennebaker, PhD along with colleagues published the results of their clinical studies focusing on health and writing. Over the years, they have discovered that expressing emotions surrounding traumatic life events through writing may improve health. Through writing one must deal with their thoughts and feelings, and the result is a more healthy perspective. Dr. Pennebaker identified one important element. One must write about the event including a detailed description of the emotions, and the event. Just to write about the event or the emotion does not have the same healing outcome. If you are concerned about someone reading what you have written, write it out on paper, and ceremoniously burn what you have written. Scatter the ashes in a favorite place in nature like a park, flower garden, or the beach. As you scatter the ashes, know that all is well, and the ashes of the emotional experience will be recycled for you healing. This prescription for healing may appear to be too simple, and in addition, it is difficult to write when we are emotionally upset. But the next time you find yourself stuffing feelings, write about the event. Describe what occurred, and how your felt. You may find it helpful to imagine that you are telling a trusted friend about the experience. Notice how you feel when you begin and when you are finished. Writing uses a different pathway in your brain than talking. It affords you a new perspective. It is simple but not easy.

  From WHALE WISDOM - DOLPHIN JOY
by Sananjaleen with Love

"Be like the Whales, the Great Whales, and practice in silence your dedication to the One. Be like the Whales and practice this air of serene detachment in a world of woe. And if you feed it not with your attention, this world shall starve for want of food. For the food upon which this world feeds is fear and anger, irritation and disbelief. Hate and greed and worry. Withdraw its food and this world shall perish. Surround this world with love. Sing your heart song to this world, and hold it with you in the light of your intent - for a higher purpose and a greater goal. And a quickening in the very structure, in the very molecular make up of this world shall occur at an atomic level, because the atoms of this world shall resonate to your call for freedom and unity and harmony through every living thing that dreams with you and craves enlightenment at every level of its existence. And then shall these worlds unite and sail as one, through the gap between the thought of chaos and the dream of hope. Hope springs eternal, and the gate to freedom shall not close while there is one more dreamer yet to come."

PEACE IN ONE SPIRIT
By Leiah - Bobbie Bowden

In One Spirit, we refract slivers of light that resonate with our own soul's rhythm and frequency. We bring out messages not so much to claim a territory for ourselves, but to create a harmony for those who enter this domain.

When you read our words, know that they were written for your eyes and your heart. This is not hyperbole. Accept what you read here as you would the scents and colors in a garden. Some will reach far into your deep knowing and others will glance off your energy pattern, leaving only an imperceptible trace in your aura.

This is a good time for prayers to be formed in quiet, after the chaos of struggle, as many wrestled with conflicting or disturbing emotions stimulated by the attacks in Iraq.

Let us be at peace in every way within our beings, physically and emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Peace is not the masking or ignorance of conflict, and peace may not sit quietly in obedience to the desire for peace. Sometimes we have to make a long, arduous journey through chaos, depression, panic, unrest... before we allow ourselves to be at peace.

If you believe you want peace and call yourself a worker for peace, but in truth you do not feel at peace, don't worry. Just be patient with yourself. Love yourself. Bestow on yourself the compassion you want to feel for others. Maybe try this in little bits.

Can you feel compassion and love for one of your fingers? Look at one of your fingers. Remember something about it when it was a very small finger, perhaps a six year old finger, or a ten year old finger. Or your nose, or eyelid. One piece at a time, one step at a time, moment by moment.
Peace.

WE ARE ALL CHILDREN
by Debra White Burch

I am a behavior coach and work with "at risk and abused children". What you read in the papers is just the tip of the iceberg of how many children are abused and how extensive that abuse is. I am usually given the worst cases - children fresh out of jail, in foster homes or just out of mental wards - the ones doctors, therapists and the system have not been able to make any progress with. I am asked over and over again - "How do I do it?" The answer is "I" didn't do it.

When I get a new client, I do not read their history. Instead, I let that person start fresh and unfold to me what they will as they are ready - no judgment. Higher Self and the Divine are called upon continually to aid in the healing. "Staying in the Moment" is essential as well as teaching them that to do their best with each choice is all that anyone can ask of them. Being aware - paying attention to the results that their choices bring them and learning from them is also key. Most importantly - I teach them that they are of value - self worth -and loveable and can love - without exception this is the root of all of the problems of every child I work with. The children display this through anger, acting out, stealing, lying, drugs, alcohol, running away, harming themselves and/or others, etc. It is not pleasant work and has one of the highest turnovers of any job. Establishing faith in oneself and that there is a non-judgmental, loving higher power available to all - always - also comes into play. Usually, there is little I can do to change their family or their environment, but I can help the children find a new perspective - hope - in their lives, as well as making sure they have food, clothes and shelter. They are made to understand that they are not responsible for the actions of others - only for their actions - self responsibility. Hopefully they are given building blocks that they can take with them and that will serve them all through life - no matter what the situation.

Miracles do happen - I see them everyday. That is not to say that their journey is over, but rather, that they now have some tools to help them as they continue on their journey no matter what path taken. As you continue on your journey - have you valued yourself and/or others today? Love is the key that opens all doors. It all starts with one voice. May peace come into your life.
