Newsletter 13: Gloom, Doom and Despair
Today my copy of the July/August edition of the Nexus magazine arrived, and as always I eagerly look forward to reading the different and varied articles. They are interesting and cover a broad range of scientific, medical, metaphysical and related topics that are generally not reported in the mainstream media. The title of one of the articles, "Earth Changes Alert: Megaquakes in 2008?" caught my eye. There is also another article about Eastern secret societies versus the Illuminati. As much as I find articles such as these illuminating (and I have been reading about such things for a number of years now), my initial response nowadays is to wonder about the continuing gloom, doom, misery and despair we are being bombarded with in our media sources.
Daily my Inbox contains messages and information about how the old order is about to be overthrown and that we are about to enter a golden age. Information about fear, destruction, conspiracies also arrives regularly. A recent example is a serious warning that was sent out, purportedly from Sai Baba and other seers, that massive earthquakes would occur on 26 June. Along with this alert, readers were reminded about the importance of stocking up on food and water supplies as well as disaster necessities. Well, June 26 has come and gone, and though I don't watch television or read the newspapers - too depressing - I have not found any information on the Internet that confirms this claim.
I am not one to suggest that we should ignore the realities of what is occurring in the world around us - my concern is that I am seeing increasing prevalence of information that focuses on the fact that life is tough and is going to become tougher. These articles perpetuate the energy of fear and stimulate people's beliefs and expectations of more hardship. If I were to focus my attention on the gist of the many articles I read it would be easy to become convinced that there is really no other choice but for humanity to experience extreme pain and suffering. However, it may be possible that much of what is circulating on the Internet (and elsewhere) is not necessarily the full truth. A number of years ago I remember channeling that we (humanity) would come to a time when there would be a vast amount of misinformation and disinformation made available.
Possibly we are now in that time? Possibly our greatest challenge is now to learn and practice the art of discernment, as well as reclaiming our empowerment. I also remember channeling that our reality will become whatever we create. It was stressed, on numerous occasions, that remaining centered and in a state of calm would help reduce the energy of chaos and fear experienced by others. Empowerment comes from knowing that reality is created second by second, and the more we hold the energy of Light positively the stronger that energy becomes while the energy of fear, conflict and doom diminishes.
I encourage you to refocus when confronted by information that is unsettling and fear generating. By all means observe what is occurring and gently affirm that all is as it is meant to be, and then send love and light to the issue. When feelings of fear surface, again send love and light to them. Remind yourself (gently) that you are love. Know that love is the strongest force in the Universe. Visualize the love you hold embracing the gloom, doom, despair and misery you observe, hear and read about. Continue to do this at every possible opportunity.
Then focus your energy on sending love to yourself, to everyone else, to areas and issues of conflict, to Mother Earth, to all plant and animal life and wherever else it feels appropriate. The more you focus on being in a state of love the less you will be affected by gloom and doom messages/prophecies. This is how you become empowered to support yourself into a reality that is harmonious and loving. Whenever a disaster occurs, again focus on being a transmitter of the love vibration. The more you bring in the energy of love the less room there is for fear to predominate. This is how we are going to create a new and peaceful world. One by one, working with love energy we are reducing chaos, conflict, disaster and so on.
And, please, do not become despondent when you read or hear of disasters, cruelty, injustice, etc. In order for the energy of the old order to be released it has to be brought to the surface. When brought to the surface it is often shocking to the senses to read or hear of what has occurred. Know that this is part of a major cleansing process that humanity is undergoing. It is essential, for there cannot be any remnants of the old energies left. They cannot, and will not, be brought with us into the higher frequencies of love energy that ultimately we will be manifesting.
Continue holding the vibration of love regardless of whatever disasters, gloom, despair and challenges occur. The more you focus on maintaining this vibration the stronger you become within. Remember the one hundredth monkey principle! The more we let go of blame, fear and the desire to prove that our path/way is the only way the easier life becomes. After all, the people and issues that we often hold to blame for our difficulties and misfortunes are actually a gift. Their presence and actions bring us the potential gift of understanding and acceptance. When a public leader behaves in ways that we cannot accept or condone, then their behavior is the gift that helps us define our truth and reality. Responding in the old ways of being judgmental and critical is merely compounding the energy of conflict.
Only love has the power to overcome and change the old ways!!! Only love has the power to heal. Become generous with the love you give. Never hold back. You hold an infinite amount of love, share it joyfully and willingly!
love and blessings

I also wish to apologize for yet another glitch on my website.

There are probably many of you who have requested my newsletter and who have not received any copies. My sincere apologies, that glitch has now been corrected!

Newsletter 12: Paradigm Shift
Phew.... the intensity of the cosmic energies continues and continues. I don't know where the last couple of months have gone. If you were to ask me to discuss any incidents, highlights or issues that have occurred in my life recently my mind would draw a complete blank. At times it's even a challenge at the end of the day to remember what occurred earlier on during that particular day! My logical mind asks, "Am I suffering from dementia? Am I going crazy?". My spiritual knowing is that nothing could be further from the truth. More

Newsletter No.11 - Energy and Lifestyle
February has been an intense month - energy wise that is! The new moon early in the month certainly played havoc with my sleep pattern, as did the lunar eclipse and full moon two weeks later. Lack of sleep and/or disrupted sleep are two of the topics I hear mentioned frequently in recent months, so I'm well aware that my sensitivity is widely shared. And, if I thought that my disturbed sleep was due to an over stimulated imagination or some other possible cause then the behavior of my feline companion certainly confirmed that it has to do with the lunar cycles. Whenever the moon goes through its cycles he makes so much noise at night and exhibits frenetic hyperactive behavior. Lunar cycles and their energy impact are a powerful reminder of the interconnection of everything! more

Newsletter 10: 2008 - Another Year of Change!
Welcome to 2008! As we herald in a new year it's easy to feel inspired about positive opportunities and changes that this year will bring. Isn't it always that way at the beginning of each year? 2008 however is different in that numerically it signifies new beginnings. When the numbers 2+0+0+8 are added up they total 10, which is then reduced to a single digit, 1+0=1. In numerology 1 always signifies new beginnings and opportunities. The last 1 year was in 1999. Certainly there have been many major changes in our world since then! more

How essential is this change? More

Newsletter No:5 -- Seeking Silence
Whenever I sit at my computer ready to pen the next newsletter I literally have no idea of the content or topic that will be explored. However, as I sit still for a moment I find that either I hear the words of the title or I intuitively understand what will be explored in my writing. It is this, the stillness and silence that enables me to find what I'm seeking. Is it like this for you whenever you wish to know something? more

Newsletter No. 3: Spiritual Discomfort and Change
The spiritual journey is certainly fraught with change and uncertainty. Recently someone shared that she was feeling intense emotions of anger, frustration and annoyance. These emotions were viewed by her as an indication that she was experiencing a lapse in her spiritual awareness. Instead, I feel that she, in actual fact, was making great progress on her soul journey and I applaud her fearlessness in moving forward. more

Newsletter No.2: Managing Your Energies
The changing of the seasons reminds me of the inner changes that occur within us. Nothing in the universe is static - there is continual change. That is the nature of cycles! In the northern hemisphere we are welcoming the cooler weather. Shorter days mean a change in tempo. We are much more inclined to relax, to spend time indoors pursuing quieter activities. This is a time for inner reflection, a time for allowing our batteries to 'recharge'. more
