Access New Energy Now - 2008

 

Access New Energy Now

Over the past year, the wireless mouse that goes with my computer became recalcitrant unless I used every day.  Typically, it would freeze up and refuse to connect until my vibrational alignment was compatible with my computer work.  Monday was one of those days.  At about 11:00 AM, I finally took a deep breath and relaxed.  That is approximately when the mouse started working again.  Of course, my issue with the mouse was vibrational.  I had not cleared its energy or mine for almost two days.  The mouse needed a hard shutdown and restart to bring it back to life.  I needed some yoga and stretching to calm my mind in a way that some call meditation.

 

Attending to my personal and spiritual needs was nice to think about, but I had just put myself through a weekend without a conscious pause.  Feeling wide-awake as I lay in bed that night, I realized that other than sleeping, I had not stretched my muscles or relaxed my brain in almost two days.  Over the past couple of months, I had started a daily stretching routine.  Now, such previously frivolous activities are necessary for my continued good health.  More than any other personal issue, a good life flows from good health.

 

Getting up, I went into our exercise room and settled down on my yoga mat, and then breathed in as necessary for a full energy clearing.  Over the years, I have noticed that creative ideas happen often while I am meditating and doing yoga.  It is like a game, where I can hardly wait to see, feel and become whatever it is that my subconscious has put in store for me now.

 

There I was, posed on my yoga mat, feeling the energy clearing all around me, then leaving me in a bubble of enlightened energy.  This is not me bragging about my personal enlightenment.  The Energy Bubble was the Enlightened One, leaving me wanting ever more of the same.

 

On November 19, 2007, a hearty band of 325 human souls in Taos, New Mexico celebrated a Quantum Leap in energy .  Although appearances tell us that we had a slow manifestational start, new consciousness orchestrated changes in events that opened many of us up to the potential of new energy realities.  It does not take millions of people to change the course of history or help to create a better outcome for Gaia, our Mother Earth.  According to scientific evidence, it takes as few as the square root of one percent of the affected population to shift energies to what computer scientists might call a “new platform” or physicists would call a “new state”.

 

I will not endeavor to tell the whole story of new energy here.  For easy listening or reading on that fascinating subject, check the Crimson Circle website.  Register for the free “Channel Library” and then tap in to this valuable information. 

 

Before I give examples of access points for new energy, may I remind you that new energy is available free of charge and in unlimited supply for all?  In the new energy realms, the concept of shortage is unknown and in fact does not exist.  “Shortage thinking” is one of the longest standing and strongest old-energy precepts.  It resides near the foundation of both our capitalist system and many of today’s organized religions.  The old-energy maven would say, “There is not enough of this old-energy to go around”.  Then, in unspoken collusion with other old-energy mavens, he tries to create artificial shortages of old-energy supplies whenever he can.  This drives up all old-energy prices and allows the old-energy maven to keep more of the old-energy supply, or money for himself.  The old-energy mavens think little about wrecking the world economy, starting or encouraging regional wars and generally wreaking as much havoc on the world as they can.  During the Vietnam War, there was a cynical, but all too honest appraisal of what was necessary for victory there.  “We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”

 

If the old-energy mavens had their way, they would suck, crush, blast or strip every old-energy resource from the Earth before they go.  The only problem with that concept is that the old-energy mavens are the least likely to escape their self-created and incipient ecological Armageddon.  Not known for their lighthearted approach to life, few old-energy souls would dare to dematerialize here or re-materialize on some New Earth.  More likely, they would hunker down and be the last to enjoy their fossil fuels, even as they, the last of the old guard spontaneously revert to a fossil-state themselves.

 

When comparing old-energy to new energy, an interesting fact emerges.  Some humans can bridge the energy gap by taking a leap of faith that there will always be a new and wonderful tomorrow, right here on Earth.  Old energetics will try to hold or pull us back to fear and shortage.  However, those who are able to rapidly access new energy shall just as rapidly break free of their old-energy bonds and habits.

 

New energy is not all about “solar, wind and biomass”.  Those were necessary and once novel approaches to energy production.  Their fatal flaw as “new energies” is that they are connected to the old-energy grid every bit as much as a "belch-fire", like the coal-fired Navajo Generating Station.  For many years, it held the record as the undisputed largest single source of old-energy gas emissions in the Four Corners region.

 

Luckily, new energy is much more whimsical than old-energy, with its connection to ancient conflicts and conundrums.  New energy is everywhere, waiting like Easter eggs to be found by us, the children of the Earth.  New Energy is abundant in water, light and in the air that we breathe.  Only our preconceived notions and fixed belief systems keep us from seeing or feeling that new energy is ubiquitous in Nature.

 

Relatively high rates of old-energy usage are locked into our current Earth-management system.  Here in the U.S., we must admit that old-energy helps us keep warm in the winter and allows us to travel across the landscape in our formerly beloved automobiles.  Because change does not manifest overnight, we shall live with gradually declining remnants of old-energy and old-energy thinking throughout the transition period.

 

Since the Quantum Leap in 2007, the new energies have more frequently shown themselves to me.  If you are an “old-energy reader”, you can stop here, because the balance of this article will not make any sense to you.  For those of you who are more curious than the typical old-energy maven, please read on.

 

Easy Access to New Energy

 

1. Find a quiet place to lay out your yoga mat.  If possible, play some soft instrumental music in the background.  Sit on the mat, preferably facing towards a full-length mirror.  Assume your own personal version of the lotus position.  With your derriere planted firmly on the floor, touch middle fingers to thumb and point your palms to the sky.  Take in a deep breath and then let it out.  From there, breathe normally, but deeply as you go.  Time the duration of your inhalations to match that of your exhalations.  Count quietly or aloud, “One, two, three, four, five” on each inhalation and the same on each exhalation.  Over a period of time, you will intuitively learn to count at the same rate as your heartbeat, thus linking your heart rhythm to your breath rhythm.  We call that “Heart Breathing”, which is one portal into the realm of new energy.
2. As a variation to what you just experienced above, assume your lotus pose, but this time place your palms and fingers together as if in prayer.  The prayer itself is optional.  Still, you might find that just sitting there in that pose and breathing deeply, you will naturally put out a prayer, offering your love to All that Is.  If so, do not be alarmed.  It is just You getting back in touch with your own Divinity.  Recognizing one’s self as part of The Divine is a second and very easy way to access the realms of new energy. 
3. As you sit, be sure to place your hands together, first at your heart, then in front of your face and finally above your head.  Notice how your energetic offering and acceptance changes with the position of your hands.  Raising your hands while in the prayer position symbolizes your own personal offering of love to All that Is.  Alternatively, with palms up, you open yourself to receiving new energy from the universal Source.  Note that new energy actually works in all directions simultaneously.
4. Over many years, I craved for revelation, which I hoped to receive from outside forces of a godly nature.  Imagine how funny it was for me to find that the key to unlocking what some would call “the secrets of the universe” is self-love.  Regardless of your current pose or bodily position, take a few moments and admire your reflection in the mirror that is before you.  Yes, initially it may be hard to look yourself in the eye, if only for the truth that your eyes might reveal.  Sitting quietly, breathe and allow yourself to love that person who shimmers there in front of you.  In so doing, you will discover another portal to new energy and universal love.  
5. For humans, love and intimacy go hand in hand, so give up denial and learn again how to love yourself in all of the ways that you desire.  Now having learned that it is always good to love yourself, take a good meditative look at your life and realize that all of your dreams really do come true.  This is yet another way for humans to open to new energy.
6. As long as you are still sitting on your yoga mat, be sure to stretch your muscles and twist your torso around your spinal column.  In order to prevent injury, use care and proceed slowly.  Yoga is not a “weekend warrior’s” sport.  It takes time, perseverance and a desire to experience progressively more pleasurable emotions and feelings of your physicality, mixed equally with your own spirituality.
7. On the concept of spinal rotation… often the athlete with the best-developed torsional-rotation around his or her spinal column is the most successful in their sport.  Picture a golf professional or perhaps a baseball star as they make their perfect swing.  Only here and now, All that Is asks you to be the star.  When you rotate your spine, you might hear and feel something in there go “pop”.  Traditional theory says that you are realigning your vertebrae and that your body does so with a mechanical “pop”.  In the era of new energy, we are coming to realize that the “pop” is the opening or reopening of our spinal cords to new channels of energy, as received from the universe.  In return for sharing our physicality with a largely non-physical universe, we receive a corresponding update to our DNA.  Think of it as similar to downloading a new operating system to your smart phone.  Suddenly, the whole device works better and you are startled to believe that it is true.  Soon, you accept this increase in functionality as an entitlement.  In the case of the human being, the irony is that you are both the updated device and the one who must judge its new effectiveness.  In a way, it is akin to asking a computer to think for itself. 
8. Either way, if you “Twist again, like you did last summer, twist again like you did last year”, you will take another peek at what is available in the realms of new energy.  Is it any wonder that Chubby Checker introduced “The Twist” dance craze in July 1960.  If you remember the 60s, you know that when people everywhere began to twist, there was change in the world.

 

We could go on and give additional examples about access to new energy, but it is time to try it for yourself.  This is not the stuff of training programs and memorization.  It is personal, powerful and loving in Nature.  All you need is a relatively quiet place, a yoga mat, some free time and a desire to create your own future as you wish it to be.  Remember that new energy is fun, so smile as you contemplate your future, either here or on a New Earth.

 

Happy New Year 2009 to all and to All that Is.

"They Took Out All The Trees and Put Them in a Tree Museum" - 2008

"They Took Out All The Trees and Put Them in a Tree Museum"

 

On July 21, 2008, a dry lightning storm of unprecedented size and activity swept over much of Northern California, igniting over 1000 separate wildfires throughout the area.  Within two days, the smoke had drifted as far south as Los Angeles and affected air quality throughout the Western U.S.  By July 25, 2008, there were over 12,000 people working to suppress these fires.

 

On July 28, 2008, we headed north from Simi Valley, (home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library) to Red Bluff, California, a distance of 500 miles.  While descending “The Grapevine” on California Highway 99, we encountered smoky haze far thicker than that we had seen in L.A.  As we transitioned to Interstate I-5 North, the visibility dropped to less than ten miles.  The farther we traveled, the thicker the smoke became, reaching as low as three miles visibility.

 

The following day our eyes were dry and our throats felt like we had smoked cigars all night.  Reaching Medford, Oregon in the afternoon, we discovered that the smoke had preceded us there, as well.  When, we asked, would our lungs get the opportunity to breathe freely?

 

Later that day, we proceeded southwest on U.S. Highway 199, heading back into California, as we traveled.  By early evening, we had reached our destination, Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park.  

 

Jedediah Smith was a mountain man and explorer of what later became known as the Spanish Trail, crossing the Mojave Desert at Needles, California.  On his 1827 trek, before reaching Los Angeles, Jed turned north and explored the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys, both of which we had traveled through just the day before.  Smith’s status as the first white man to explore the Oregon, California border area earned him such immortality as the naming of a state park affords.

 

The Smith River, which is the last major free flowing river in California, bisects the park’s old growth coastal redwood ecosystem.  Almost all of the parkland is watershed for the Smith River and Mill Creek, one of its major tributaries.

 

Upon arriving at the park our first feelings were of relief.  The dense redwood forest limits one’s view, so if there was smoke in the area, we could not see it.  It was a case of “Out of sight, out of mind”, as the saying goes. 

 

Unlike other more arid western forests, a coastal redwood forest retains a great deal of moisture.  Although little rain falls in summer months, fog often envelopes the coastal valleys and river canyons.  Directly absorbing much of that moisture, allow coastal redwoods to grow taller than capillary action alone would allow.  Some of the moisture that is not directly absorbed by the redwoods drips from their branches, thus replenishing the local groundwater.

 

Another factor in our respiratory relief was the effect of photosynthesis, which removes carbon dioxide from the air and replaces it with life giving oxygen.  When one reflects on the sheer mass of plant life in an old growth coastal redwood forest, it becomes obvious that it is a very efficient scrubber of what we call “greenhouse gases” and an equally proficient oxygen generator.

 

According to scientists, the oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere peaked at around 35%, during the Permo-Carboniferous period.  With current oxygen levels at around 21%, one wonders how much oxygen depletion may have occurred on Earth during our current industrial age.  Although my evidence is anecdotal, the sweet, clean air of this forest elevated our moods and made everything seem all right with the world.

 

Unique to the Northern California coastal strip, these redwoods are a relic of vast forests that covered much of the temperate zones of the U.S. West Coast and Asian East Coast.  As such, they are a living museum of the way life used to flourish on Gaia, our Mother Earth.  Older than any living thing, other than the ancient Bristlecone pines of the White Mountains in Eastern California, the coastal redwoods appeal to us visually through their magnificent size.  Not only among the oldest living things, at up to 378 feet, they may also be the tallest trees on Earth.

 

Although the battle to save the redwoods is not a politically hot topic today, when Ronald Reagan successfully ran for Governor of California in 1966, it was.  Although he did not say, “When you’ve seen one redwood, you’ve seen them all”, he did say, “I mean, if you’ve looked at 100,000 acres or so, of trees – you know, a tree is a tree; how many more do you need to look at”.  In 1967, as governor, he visited an old growth coastal redwood grove and said, “I saw them; there is nothing beautiful about them, just that they are a little higher than the others”. 

 

The king of the conservatives was obviously not the darling of conservationists.  With Reagan’s stubborn refusal to help protect these unique and special trees, loggers felled all but the last three percent of the old growth coastal redwood forests during the balance of his life.  Although his lack of environmental consciousness does not make him a villain, I would like to know what we gained by destroying most of that unique environment, other than some nice looking redwood decks some short-term profit for the forest products industry.

 

As Joni Mitchell sang in the 1970 song, Big Yellow Taxi,

• “They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum. 
• Then they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em. 
• Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you’ve got ‘Til it’s gone?”. 

As it turns out, the coastal redwoods are not all gone and it is free to see these forest giants at Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park.  Its verdant groves are the best place on this Earth that I know to take a deep breathe and feel at peace with All that Is.

As a postscript to this article, The Los Angeles Times reported on July 31, 2008 that "the Mendocino Redwood Co. (controlled by the founding family of Gap Inc.) paid more than $550 million to creditors (of Maxxam Inc.) to gain control of 210,000 acres of timberlands in Humboldt County, California and a sawmill owned by (Maxxam's subsidiary) Pacific Lumber, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2007".

 

In 2008, the Gap Inc. website declared,  "Our business operations rely on our planet’s natural resources. We believe that our success should not come at the expense of the environment, so we strive to operate in a way that is mindful of long-term environmental sustainability."  

 

Author's Note: By 2015, the above quote had disappeared from the Gap, Inc. website. Has a gap developed between Gap Inc.'s founding family's promise to "walk the walk", or will they simply "talk the talk".

The Great Attractor; Is it Us? - 2007

The Great Attractor; Is it Us?

How could any human not be attracted to a term as alluring as “The Great Attractor?”  If one studies the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), a common thread among them is their belief in “One God”, separate and distinct from us, but inextricably linked to us through “His” omnipresence and omnipotence.

 

What if scientists could locate an unseen “attractive mass” with such great density that earth, our galaxy and all of the Local Group of Galaxies near our Milky Way Galaxy were heading towards it at a rate of 600 kilometers per second?  What if it was big, unseen and had an attractive power that pervaded our “universal neighborhood”?  Could that “Great Attractor” indeed be our long-sought God?

 

Scientists and metaphysicians tend to see things in different ways.  After researching the subject, we could not find a single scientist on earth who has "connected the dots" between “The Great Attractor” (yes, it is real) and the “One God” who is feared and worshiped by a large percentage of the earth’s population.

 

Although it may be attractive to think humankind has finally located “God” right here in our own cosmic neighborhood, we offer a different hypothesis. In our Theory of Everything, we believe that the ancients had it right in the first place.  Quite naturally, with the instruments and technologies of their times, each pre-Abrahamic culture saw the earth as the center of the universe.

 

In 1514, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that our Sun resides at a fixed point and that the Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis.  Later, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes and Newton expanded on Copernican theory and solidified the scientific method as the “right way of thinking”.

 

As time passed, the great religions softened their own theories of creation, allowing for a “physical plane” and a “spiritual plane”.  Earth was earth, heaven was heaven and mortal death was the only way to travel from earth to heaven.  Once in heaven, there was no available “return trip” to earth.  At death, the “game of life” was over, except for those who properly obeyed the rules of their chosen religion.  Only those righteous and the holy ones received a grant of eternal rest in a non-temporal heaven.  In those times of struggle, eternal rest seemed like a good deal and many sought that end.

 

As a result of all this jockeying for position, both here on earth and in the cosmos, Mother Earth, or Gaia, as some prefer to call Her, became a proving-ground for the determination of which religion had a better line to the “One God” and what “He” wanted from us.  The result was what we commonly call religious war.  In order to get almost everyone into the fight, the righteous de-emphasized “religion” and we now have the simple and powerful concept of “War” as our rallying cry.  War is now so popular that we have wars on poverty, drugs, drunk-driving, terrorism and teenage pregnancy, not to mention two separate “shooting wars” in Asia.

 

Interestingly enough, the scientists of our home planet not only brought us the “right thinking” of science, but also a steady succession of new and improved weapons for both individual and mass destruction.  It is to the point now where we, as a culture, devote endless hours of cable and satellite television time to what are nothing more than thinly disguised commercials for weapon systems development and the “practical” uses of those weapons.

 

Unseen and unknown to those who have adopted hate as a way of life, there is a consciousness rising on earth that is more powerful by far than their desire to kill all who do not believe as they do.  Early adherents to this form of consciousness included Buddha (the Enlightened One), Jesus (Yeshua), Lao Tzu, Mahavir (founder of Jainism) and others of more recent vintage, such as Mahatma Gandhi.

 

In our current times, such thinkers and seers as Tobias (via Geoffrey Hoppe) and author Eckhart Tolle show the way toward a new consciousness and a New Earth.  The New Earth, at its core, exemplifies a spirituality whose hallmarks are peace, love and compassion, for one’s self, our fellow humans, our earth and finally, for All That Is.

 

If we draw on the wisdom of the ancients, we will learn again, that “thought creates”.  If mass consciousness creates war and disrespect for our living earth, individual consciousness, focusing on the goodness in us all, can create at a far more powerful rate.  If “like attracts like”, as the universal Law of Attraction so aptly tells us, we “mere mortals” have the power to not only change the world, but to shift mass consciousness and thus, the structure of the universe.

 

As Nancy Clark, PhD, Director of Intuitive Energy Healing in Tucson, Arizona told me in a personal interview several years ago, our earth is rapidly “moving” to a point where it will be near, if not at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.  Scientists will point out that earth is nowhere near the creational center of the universe, as defined by the cosmic location of the Big Bang.  Meta-physicians, such as Nancy deal in a multidimensional universe where the “center” of either our galaxy or even the universe may or may not co-locate with the scientific topological center. In my theory, I extrapolate from Nancy Clark's work to say that perhaps we here on Earth are nearing the center of All That Is.

 

Scientists have studied the one-dimensional “energy strings” of string theory out to the point where they hypothesize several, if not many compressed (zip-filed?) dimensions.  Unlike normal matter, these compressed dimensions hold enormous mass, but remain invisible to observers in a three dimensional time-space reality (3DTSR) such as ours.  In similar fashion, we cannot detect “The Great Attractor”, either visually or electromagnetically.

 

If thoughts emanate as energy, then they have mass.  If humankind has placed untold numbers of thoughts out there in the universe, seeking God, is it not possible that we have indeed created the mass of “The Great Attractor”, itself?  Is it possible that we here on earth are now engaged in a dance with “The Great Attractor”, where we mutually rush headlong towards a melding with each other?  Are we zooming towards it or is it zooming towards us? 

 

If thought travels instantaneously, rather than at the old and slow “speed of light” can our thoughts and aspirations of a higher order bring a universal convergence of consciousness whenever we, individually and collectively decide that, “it is time”?  If we were to allow this change in our thinking, might we indeed create a New Earth at any time we individually and collectively decide to do so?
