Medicine Cards

I pulled a medicine card this morning for insight and guidance.

Owl.....deception...........

Owl medicine is symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and magic, both black and white. Owl is called Night Eagle on several medicine wheels used by Amerindian teachers. Traditionally, Owl sits in the East, the place of illumination. Since time immemorial, humanity has been afraid of the night, the dark, and unseen - waiting fearfully for the first crack of morning light. Conversely, night is Owl's friend.

Owl hunts its prey at night. Not only can Owl see in the dark, it can also accurately pinpoint and identify sound. This gives it a great advantage when seeking food. Owls are the night hunters. Some Native people are fearful of Owl and call its feathers "deceiver feathers." An Owl feather is silent. You cannot hear Owl when it flies, but its prey definitely knows when it strikes, for its beak and talons are razor sharp.

Owl is oftentimes the medicine of sorcerers and witches. If Owl is your medicine, you will be drawn to magical practices and perhaps explore the dark arts. You should resist any temptation to practice black magic or any art that takes energy away from another person or being. If you have Owl medicine, these night birds will have a tendency to collect around you, even in the daytime, because they recognize a kinship with you.

Is it any wonder that in many cultures Owl is a symbol for wisdom? This is because Owl can see that which others cannot, which is the essence of true wisdom. Where others are deceived, Owl sees and knows what is there.

Athena, the Greek goddes of wisdom, had a companion Owl on her shoulder which revealed unseen truths to her. Owl had the ability to light up Athena's blind side, enabling her to speak the whole truth, as opposed to only a half truth.

If Owl is your personal medicine, no one can deceive you about what they are doing, no matter how they try to disguise or hide it from you. You may be a little frightening to be around, since so many people have ulterior motives which you see right through. If you are unaware of your medicine power, you may take your keen insights and abilities for granted. Others never do. You may frighten them and reflect their blindness, for you cannot be fooled. Owl medicine people know more about an individual's inner life than that person knows about herself or himself.

If you have pulled the Owl card, you are being asked to use your powers of keen, silent observaton to intuit some life situation. Owl is befriending you and aiding you in seeing the total truth. Owl can bring you messages in the night through dreams or meditation. Pay atention to the signals and omens. The truth always brings further enlightenment.

Happy New Year!

Ah Love, Beautiful Love

If you are not in love at the moment, surely you've been in love at some point in your life. Do you remember? Picture, not the person with whom you fell, but what you felt at that time. The person is not the important part of this exercise. In fact, for some of you, picturing the person may bring up the wrong feelings. Close your eyes and remember the feeling. Take a few deep breaths to clear your body of other emotions that this week or month has surfaced. Really clear the decks for that particular feeling of being in Love. The big Love. It may be the first time you held your baby or the first high school kiss, or the day of your wedding or the righteous car in the showroom at the first of the year. Maybe it was the first time you went fishing with your grandfather and fell in love with the outdoors and the whole experience. For most it is that special feeling a certain someone activated in you. Do you remember the feeling in your belly? You can't help but smile when you bring up that feeling. When life is beautiful and patience is plenty, do you remember?

Remember the beautiful sunsets and maybe the hand holding. Remember the excitement of being near the object of your affection. Feel the excitement, feel the smile creep up on your face. Remember it and feel it. Feel it and amplify it. Turn up the dial on LOVE. Turn up the dial on the volume of LOVE. Turn up the vibration of LOVE. Not for any particular person or thing....just the feeling. It's in you. It was not given to you by another person or thing....it's in you. It's always been in you. Take five or ten minutes to feel it and amplify it today because that is the REASON for this season.

May you be blessed with LOVE today and always....

Psychotic Medication

If you asked Tom Cruise what he thinks about pharmaceutical intervention for mental illnesses, he'd jump up and down shouting the L. Ron Hubbard philosophy of any and all mental conditions being a result of earlier programming, good and bad. I read Hubbard's book, "Dianetics" in the 80s and found it to be very interesting and in alignment with the teachings of Royce Morales, Wayne Dyer, even Deepak Chopra. Basically, "garbage in, garbage out." I would agree, that in most cases, this is true.

Many energetic belief systems are in place due to programmed experiences and memories that are running in the unconscious mind and interfere with daily, present day, present moment, clarity. Those memories, experiences and beliefs run an interference pattern that obstructs our mental vision. It's like trying to get a clear picture on a 1950 television, with rabbit ears. For those of you born after 1970, you may have to look that up.

I remember those old televisions with rabbit ear antennas. Sometimes we'd have to hold them in a certain position or hang foil on them to get even the slightest fuzzy, static-filled, reception. Chucko the Clown would look like he was in a snowstorm if the antenna wasn't in the right position or if the weather outside was interfering. All of the static and interference distorted the picture so that you weren't quite certain what Chucko was doing with his balloons. If you think of all of the dis-empowering beliefs and memories being that static on your screen, you'll see where I'm headed here.

Compare that old static-filled screen with the crystal clear picture of a High Def, cable or satellite connection you can get today. Without all of that atmospheric interference you can see with absolute clarity. Some people can get clarity through processing out the old static-causing memories, beliefs, and energetic interferences with the help of a mentor, teacher, therapist or even a book or CD. There would not be any need for cable or satellites. But others may need the help of a cable patch. If you think of a cable connection being the medication for mental illness, the pharmaceutical patch, the chemical cable, you can see the need for intervention in many cases.

Not everyone can see the static for what it is. Some people get so used to the static that they don't know the difference or even think that there can be more pristine clarity. To them, Chucko is just fine in a snow storm. It may be that Chucko 'needs' to be in a snowstorm. It may be, to a patient with mental illness, that Chucko looks that way in reality and the clarity of High Def is all wrong.

If your television has been dropped and is damaged, even a cable patch can't help you. If your receiver lost a part, no satellite is going to make your picture clearer. But, if all your parts are working and in place, as is the case with most of us, then clearing out the static is all that is needed.

Now, here's the deal. I have a friend who stopped paying his cable bill, so to speak. The static has returned and he thinks that's the way is should be. He got tired of paying the bill, that is, he got tired of the side-effects of using a pharmaceutical patch for his bi-polar condition. His static could have been caused by a genetic condition. His mother couldn't stand the static she was getting so when her son was 17, she killed herself. His sister has so much static on her reception that she has used several pharmaceutical patches and seems to be stable. Her side effects don't seem to bother her. My friend, well, he has lost it. His static is so distorting reality that he has a restraining order against him. He has been banned from Hollywood Park and he has stalked a young woman who gave him an hour of her time and attention. Our friendship is coming to an end. He has said that I cannot be his friend if I am a friend of his wife's. His static is so loud and so fuzzy that there is no ability for clear communication.

Could he be helped with a mentor or a teacher who can process out the static? Would removing the static layers, one by one, or group by group, give him clarity? Could he have clarity without a cable patch? I think yes. But, and here's the big but...he would have to want to, and he doesn't. He said that he is happier than he has been in his life. He feels like he is a descended angel. His doctor would call this manic euphoria. I think it's part of the detox process.

Don't get me wrong. I totally believe there is a strong need for medical intervention for depression, bi-polar disorders, and psychosis of all varieties. However, I have to agree with L. Ron Hubbard. Garbage in, garbage out.

If my friend wanted to delete the static of emotional turmoil in his memory bank , I believe he can. It's all energy. All beliefs and memories are energy. Static energy. Even genetic conditions are shifted by the energy of our conscious attention. There is no condition that cannot be cleared with the conscious, energetic intention of our soul. We can have the clear, static-free reception without a cable, without a satellite, without pharmaceutical intervention. You have to want it.

An email I received this morning contained this....

"As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields." - Tolstoy

At holiday gatherings, let's have a moment of remembrance and respect for the beings for whom these are "Horror Days" – 65 million innocent turkeys murdered for "thanks" and then the birth of one called "Prince of Peace"; countless intelligent pigs, killed for ritual consumption that Jesus, a vegan Jewish rabbi, would never eat or approve under his biblical dietary mandate - Genesis 1:29 ("Then God said, 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.' ")...

Scripting about financial abundance

I have a dear friend named, MONEY. She is a wonderful energetic partner in my life and she is so much fun. She surprises me by showing up in my wallet and in my bank account all the time. She has the wonderful ability to multiply like bunny rabbits. She loves to have fun with me. She takes me to the movies and she buys me lunch. She loves to help me decorate my home and she even takes me to the spa for a massage, a facial and a new hair-do. I love my friend, MONEY and she loves me right back. She shows up everywhere I go. Today I am amplifying, in my body, the magnetic point of attraction for her. We are working together to end world hunger and to help all children find shelter and an education. We are working together to heal Mother Earth by planting trees and visiting GREEN PEACE. She's a great Friend to me and my family. I want to hug her today and tell her how much I love her and how much I appreciate her abundant presence in my life. Today I am paying bills with her and we are going to listen to music as we work together.....Together we can do miraculous things. She travels all over the world and she loves all that she does with her energy. She brings food to the hungry, she lights up the dark places for our safety, she builds machines that help doctors and nurses heal the sick. She supports scientists who are finding solutions for every problem. She's an amazing, powerful vibration and I welcome her in my life. I amplify her love by sending her out into the world with my blessings. I am blessed to have her as my friend and I welcome her.

A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view. ~ Alan Cohen

Winter Solstice

I call myself the Goddess of Christmas. I used to get all crazy this time of year, decorating, cooking, baking, shopping, gift wrapping. My house looked like a department store with lighted greenery draped around the fireplace, the banisters, the chandelier, the front door, everywhere I could reach, including the bathroom mirror. I had beautifully wrapped gifts stacked up, one on top of the other, stretching into the living room.

Then one year, I realized that I had fallen for the trap, the commercialized Christmas, the Hallmark version of the celebration of Love and Peace. How did I get so insane?


I'm quite certain it started in my childhood. In the fifties nobody realized the pollution we were generating by our decadent spending and over-the-top decorating. I do remember feeling bad that we were all cutting down trees to celebrate the birth of Jesus and I somehow knew that wasn't right.

Back then I compared the number of gifts I received to the number my friends got. Did it mean they were loved more if they got more? Did it mean their father was more successful than mine if they had a bigger tree, more lights, more stuff? What was it all about....?

Of course, I was told in Sunday school, that Christmas was a time to celebrate the message of Christ, the Prince of Peace. I knew it was supposed to be about sharing love and not about what you unwrapped but....hey, I was a kid. I had a big family, four sisters and a brother. In my house it was about stuff.

There are a couple of movies out, "What Would Jesus Buy?" The film focuses on the issues of the commercialization of Christmas, materialism, the over-consumption in American culture, globalization, and the business practices of large corporations, as well as their economic and cultural effects on American society, as seen through the prism of activist/performance artist Bill Talen, who goes by the alias of "Reverend Billy," and his troupe of activists, whose street theater performances take the form of a church choir called "The Church of Stop Shopping," that sings anti-shopping and anti-corporate songs. The film follows Billy and his choir as they take a cross-country trip in the month prior to Christmas 2005, and spread their message against what they perceive as the evils of patronizing the retail outlets of several different large corporate chains. The other is, "The Story of Stuff" It's about the where stuff comes from, how it is processed, how it is manufactured, sold and how polluting to our bodies, our planet and our consciousness it all is.


I want to bring back a simpler version of Christmas. One that doesn't consume tons of foil wrapping paper and packaging that ends up in landfills. I want to celebrate in a way that supports Mother Earth and shows love to all people. How do I do that? I'm going to start by not sending Christmas cards and I'm cancelling all catalogs. I refuse to shop in department stores and I won't be wrapping any gifts in polluting wrap.

There's a store near me, Harmony Works, where they sell organic, and recycled items made into art. Glass dishes made from tossed bottles, cards and paper printed on recycled newspapers, books, CDs and candles for inspiration and made locally. I am now a conscious consumer and no longer will I fall for the 'over-the-top' consumerism we call "The Holidays"

Join me, will you?

I gave the kids their Christmas Jammies early....

"Getting inside their heads....really inside

Presidential candidates'health is a campaign issue. So what about their brains?

By Daniel G. Amen

What do Rudy Giuliani's messy personal life, John McCain's temper and Hillary Clinton's inability to seem authentic have in common? Maybe nothing. They may be just overblown issues in the otherwise normal lives of candidates under the political microscope.

Such symptoms, however, may mean a lot - such as evidence of underlying brain dysfunction. Sometimes people with messy personal lives have low prefrontal cortex activity associated with poor judgment; sometimes people with temper problems have brain damage and impulse control problems; sometimes people who struggle with authenticity have trouble really seeing things from someone else's perspective.

Is the brain health of a presidential candidate a fair topic in an election year? Certainly Dick Cheney's heart condition wasn't off-limits in 2000, nor have questions about McCain's age been considered out of bounds. The White House issues a complete medical history of the president each year - detailing everything from his seasonal allergic rhinitis to his adenomatous colon polyps. Clearly we care about the health outlook for our elected leaders. Should we go so far as to do brain scans of candidates for the Oval Office? Some people might consider discussing brain health a ridiculous idea. Not me.

As a neuropsychiatrist and brain-imaging expert, I want our elected leaders to be some of the "brain healthiest people" in the land. How do you know about the brain health of a presidential candidate unless you look? The brain is involved in everything humans do: how we think, how we feel, how we get along with others, how we negotiate, how we pay attention in meetings and how we turn away the advances of White House interns or decide to invade a country based on contradictory intelligence.

Three of the last four presidents have shown clear brain pathology. President Reagan's Alzheimer's disease was evident during his second term in office. Nonelected people were covering up his forgetfulness and directing the country's business. Few people knew it, but we had a national crisis. Brain studies have been shown to predict Alzheimer's five to nine years before people have their first symptoms.

President Clinton's moral lapses and problems with bad judgment and excitement-seeking behavior - indicative of problems in the prefrontal cortex - eventually led to his impeachment and a poisonous political divisiveness in the U.S. The prefrontal cortex houses the brain's supervisor, involved with conscience, forethought, planning, attention span and judgment.

One could argue that our current president's struggles with language and emotional rigidity are symptoms of temporal lobe pathology. The temporal lobes, underneath your temples and behind your eyes are involved with language, mood stability, reading social cues and emotional flexibility.

A national leader with brain problems can potentially cost millions of people their lives. Milosevic and Hussein give us recent historical examples. Both of Milosevic's parents committed suicide, he had serious bouts of depression and reportedly drank heavily - all signs that point to brain problems. He was found to be unreasonable and unreliable in negotiations and heartless as a political leader. Hussein was described as paranoid and without empathy, also symptoms pointing to poor brain function. His mother suffered severe bouts of depression and attempted suicide while pregnant with him, which is known to affect a baby's developing brain. He was physically and emotionally abused by his stepfather. All of these stresses must have been involved in shaping his paranoid brain into a mind that could torture dissenters, murder relatives and launch chemical attacks that killed thousands.

Functional scans, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, provide a window into the brain. Doctors can now see healthy or dysfunctional brain patterns, much as we can assess the strength of a heart or measure hormone levels, and recognize trouble. All doctors might not agree on the interpretation, but there is a growing body of scientific literature establishing what these scans mean, such as attention deficit disorder or a predisposition for Alzheimer's

Ensuring that our president has a healthy brain may be more than an interesting topic of conversation. It can be important information to put into the election equation. A president with brain problems could wreak havoc on the U.S. and the world at large. Maybe we shouldn't leave the health of our president's brain to chance. We have the tools; shouldn't we look?

Jaqueline Walker Watson 1923-2007

My Aunt Jackie passed over this morning, a mere twenty minutes ago. On Thanksgiving Day she was singing songs with her children and grandchildren and she sat at the family table to eat her turkey with all the fixin's. She smiled and radiated love all around that table. She was blind but you'd never have guessed it. Her beautiful blue eyes were clear and intent. It was a wonderful gift to her family to have her present one last time.

I have a photograph of my Aunt Jackie and my mother on the beach,not more than a mile from my home. It was taken in 1940 and they were hot! Bombshells, is what my father called them. Tall, long legged, beauties, they were. The Sisters. Each had a radiant smile, beautiful skin, and those blue eyes. It's no wonder the boys chased after them with coursages and candies.

Gary, Nancy, Peggy and Paul are Jackie's children, my cousins. All of them are intelligent, college educated, successful and the most fun cousins I have. These are the cousins, out of 24 that I always gravitated to during the hundreds of family functions.

We were all together Monday, at Jackie's bedside. All the memories of the holiday gatherings, family reunions, memorial services, weddings and showers, funny stories and family love spread out all over the room. My mother held her sister's hand, I stroked her head, we all said our good-byes, and this morning she took her last breath.

Jackie Walker Watson, a wonderful mother, a delightful aunt and loving baby sister has left this world a better place. What more can anyone ask of woman?

Be Careful What You Ask For

Spirit has a sense of humor, I'm sure you know. Sometimes I don't find my Spirit Guides to be all that funny, until after a few days of introspection...even then, you may not find me laughing at all.

As each year comes to a close, I usually take time to evaluate the passing year and my behaviors and perspectives, my successes and my failures. I look at my weaknesses and my strengths and I sometimes beat myself up for what I am not. That doesn't mean I do anything to change it...I just simply punish myself for not being a better person, a more responsible grown-up, a more enlightened individual, a more humble servant of God. I fail more than succeed in that department. It's not that I don't want to be a better human being, I just don't want it to be a hard job. LOL It's like I want to be a concert pianist but I don't want to practice, and in fact, never buy the piano. I want to run a marathon but I never put on my running shoes. I want to be a success in my practice, but....I don't really want to advertise, market myself, or write the content for my website. I want to be an author, but I seldom spend time on the books I've begun. I want all my bills paid in a timely manner, but I never seem to get to them in time. I desire a loving relationship but refuse to date.

I am a right-brained individual. I am intuitive, creative, a dreamer, a romantic, an aspiring free spirit without a fully developed left-brain. I am a rebel without a cause. I am irresponsible and a flagrantly defiant citizen. There are laws I don't agree with and rules I refuse to follow. I don't want anyone telling me what to do and I am a non-compliant patient. I am my own worst client!

I decided, at the ripe old age of 56, that it is time I develop my left brain and step into the role of being my own personal assistant. I decided it was time to clean up my past behaviors and mistakes and take responsibility for my finances, my health and my well-being. I scripted a couple of weeks ago for Spirit to assist me in releasing old habits and patterns that were impeding my growth and my more expanded success. Then, as my usual pattern, I did nothing to clean up old garbage that was cluttering my life. Oh I cleaned house, and organized drawers and decorated the house beautifully, (busy work for the feeble minded as John has said) I threw out old junk and sold or gave away the rest. I cleared my space for the new year and the new life I was preparing for. I got new tires and brakes, renewed my auto insurance, registered my car, (albeit four months late). But the big ones, the heavy burdens I've been avoiding for years, I left untouched, unexamined, hidden-away in the baggage I carry everyday.

Spirit, in its infinite wisdom, provided me a growth opportunity in the form of a two-by-four right between the eyes. You see, I registered my car at AAA where I am a member. I was told to fax my proof of insurance to the DMV and return to pick up my sticker. Well, I faxed the proof and skipped step number three. I headed to Phoenix for my long traveling month. Now, here's the kicker. 12 years ago, I drove to Tucson Arizona for a family emergency. Not my family, my boyfriend, Zorro's family. On our way out of Arizona I received a speeding ticket. I was to appear at the Quartzite Court to handle it, but, instead, I thought to myself...."Self? What does it matter? You're never going back to Arizona. Screw it!" I never forgot about the ticket, although I'd like to pretend I forgot. In fact, I never forgot and it hung over my head for years. When my daughter moved to Phoenix I knew I should take care of it, but.....never got around to it. Well...you see where I am headed here, right?

The Highway Patrol pulled in behind me on Wednesday afternoon. He turned on his lights to signal me to pull over. I knew immediately why. My license plate was lacking that little sticker. He checked his computer and in fact, my car was not registered. I skipped step number three, remember? Step number three was to go back to AAA and pay a $14 fee for reinstatement and receive my little sticker. (These things I do always cost me many times over what they would if I would just comply in the first place!) So, he asked for my drivers license and that's when it got ugly. Low and behold, that old speeding ticket had gone to warrant for failure to appear. My driving privileges in the state of Arizona had been suspended 12 years ago. He informed me that my car was to be impounded for 30 days and that I was under arrest! Me! Handcuffed in the back of a Highway Patrol car, quivering like a little chihuahua!

Fortunately I wasn't taken to jail, although I could have been. Spirit spared me that nightmare, and I am grateful. I asked spirit to assist me in releasing old habits and patterns, then I waited. I didn't actively take ACTION!

I wanted to play the piano but.....

So, today I am cleaning up old messes from the distant past. I am not decorating a tree, I am not Christmas shopping, I am not avoiding reality. I am paying my debt to society for being a defiant, non-compliant citizen. I asked Spirit and Spirit immediately provided the perfect opportunity to comply. Thank you very much.

Oh! And here's a giant P.S. The cruel irony in all of this? These qualities or faults I see in myself? These are the exact qualities or faults I judge most harshly in others. Mirror, mirror on the wall. Don't ya just hate when that happens?

Channeled Info, Thanks Steven Morrison of Idyllwild Healing Arts

Today I share with you excerpts from a communication by The Brotherhood of Light, a group of non-physical beings who channel their messages through a human being named Edna Frankel. I got this from the July 2006 issue of Sedona: A Journal of Emergence. My intention is to give us a bit of context for why people like us would even be engaging in something like a Spiritual Workout in the first place:


“You are becoming aware of the existence of your greater being, meeting and merging with your own higher self in a fully conscious way, at all levels. You are also finally realizing that you are all connected!...You are all bound within the energetic framework of this planet, which is the electromagnetic house within which your bodies reside. So you are connected not only to one another but to all forms of life, to all energy patterns of life on this planet, including the weather. Have you noticed, dear ones, that the worse your world chaos becomes, the worse the weather patterns get? We use the word “worse” as you would from your human perspective of what you see happening. You see the chaos, the discord, the disharmony as getting worse, as being unmanageable and as a huge, global mess with no solution in sight.

“Ah, but from Spirit’s perspective, what a lovely situation to have! Your lessons are no longer separate, no longer isolated, no longer hidden. Everyone is involved — all peoples, all cultures, all countries. Why? In order to finally transmute these lessons off this planet, they must be played out and resolved in common consensus at the global level. Why do we keep saying that all humans must rise together, as all levels of reality also rise together? Because that is how lessons are transmuted, healed, and released from the global consciousness. Those isolated pockets of lessons must be raised up to the light, or they will remain interlocked in the human weave, keeping it dense, dark, and unable to rise.

“When light is shed in a space, all that was dark becomes revealed. Why do you think the lessons of war on this planet have grown from tribe against tribe to nation against nation to isolated pockets of terrorists? Look at the patterns within the grand design! You’re up to flushing out those pockets, as all societies realize that the need to live in peace and share resources is the only viable path to survival as a human species. Congratulations — you have reached the final crossroads!

“What is that higher light being shed? Spiritual integrity, dear ones, the highest good of all, is becoming your comfort zone of morality rather than the individual good of one without regard for the rest. That way hasn’t worked, has it? Yes, you still have the basic forms in place of judgment, guilt, blame and shame, but you are learning to forgive the past and move forward in the Now...That is your new focus...

“Why do you hear from so many spiritual sources to think globally and act locally? Why are you encouraged to clean up your own backyard and just keep faith for the rest of the world to get better? Why are you told, time and again, that global peace is achieved one heart at a time? Because of the energetic connection between all humans! Because you are all becoming so globally aware, so interconnected by the Internet and the news media, that your backyard is now connected to every other backyard. What happens in Africa or Nepal comes into your television set in North and South America, in Europe, in Asia, in Australia, around the globe and back again...

“...As long as you see yourselves as separate beings from the life forms all around you, that separation causes the haves and the have nots. Once you start to see, think and feel from the higher perspective of “all is One,” then you realize that all you do affects everyone and everything around you. And herein lies your power, dear human. How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as small and separate or as being powerfully connected to all life? Are you at the mercy of your fate or in charge of your destiny? It’s all a matter of perspective ...

“...as the Mayans predicted, 2012 was called the end of time. We say that it will be the end of time as you know it, where you carry forward the pain of a lesson from the past in order to learn it and heal it in your present and future. The new construct of variable time in the Age of Aquarius is replacing many old, fear-based constructs that limited your reality in the Age of Pisces. It is time to carry the love forward, dear ones, and leave all the rest behind. Learning to love all and all learning to love will bring peace to Earth...Peace will come soon, dear ones, for you are bringing it in by sheer faith.”

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne,
Creator of The Secret



Two words which will change your life!

There are two words that, when spoken, have the most unfathomable power to completely change your life. Two words which, when they pass your lips, will be the cause of bringing absolute joy and happiness to you. Two words that will create miracles in your life. Two words that will wipe out negativity. Two words that will bring you abundance in all things. Two words which, when uttered and sincerely felt, will summon all the forces and vibrations in the Universe to move all things for you.

The only thing standing between you, happiness, and the life of your dreams, are two words...

THANK YOU

Gratitude is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to transform your life. If you become truly grateful, you will magnetize absolute joy to you everywhere you go, and in everything you do. In fact, without gratitude, nothing can ever change. Your life will change to the degree that you use gratitude and begin to feel grateful. If you are just a little bit grateful, your life will change a little bit. If you are very grateful, your whole life will change. If you live gratitude every single day, you will become one of the greatest human beings on the planet, and the light of your life will uplift our world.

The greatest human beings who have ever lived showed us the way with gratitude, and by their example became shining lights in our history. Einstein said "thank you" hundreds of times every single day! Ancient wisdom dating back thousands of years gave us the truth about gratitude. Every single religion speaks of giving thanks. All the sages and saviors of the world demonstrated the use of gratitude in all their teachings.

Of the thousands of letters we receive from people whose lives have become miracles after experiencing The Secret, every single one of them has made gratitude their way of life. It is impossible to be negative when you are giving thanks. It is impossible to criticize or blame when you are feeling grateful. It is impossible to feel sad when you are in gratitude. Most people are sporadically grateful, however, to change your life with gratitude, a new way of learning how to be truly grateful is what will bring unlimited happiness into your life.

So how do you live in gratitude? Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the car that you drive, your job, your friends, your refrigerator that keeps your food cold. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities and services and electrical appliances that make your life effortless.

Sacred Geometry from Wikipedia

Sacred geometry may be understood as a worldview of pattern recognition, a complex system of hallowed attribution and signification that may subsume religious and cultural values to the fundamental structures and relationships of such complexes as space, time and form. According to this discipline, the basic patterns of existence are perceived as sacred: for by contemplating and communing with them one is thereby contemplating the Mysterium Magnum, the patterning relationships of the Great Design. By studying the nature of these patterns, forms and relationships and their manifold intra- and interconnectivity one may gain insight into the scientific, philosophical, psychological, aesthetic and mystical continuüm. That is, the laws and lore of the Universe.

The term sacred geometry is also used for geometry which is employed in the design of sacred architecture and sacred art. The underlying belief is that geometry and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportionality discoverable from geometry also gird music, light, cosmology, and other observable and sensate features of the Universe. This value system has been held throughout the World from time immemorial to prehistory, a cultural universal endemic to the Human Condition. Sacred geometry is the foundation of the design, architecture, fabrication and construction of sacred structures such as temples, mosques, megaliths, monuments and churches; sacred space such as altars, temenos and tabernacles; places of congregation such as sacred groves, village greens and holy wells and the creation of religious art, iconography and divine proportionality. Sacred geometry, art, iconography and architecture need not be monolithic and enduring, but may be temporary and yielding, such as visualization and non-permanent sandpainting and medicine wheels.
