The End of Plutocracy?
Pluto may have been demoted as a planet, but nothing can stop the plutonic transformational energies from having their way with us all. Visionary Activist Astrologer Caroline Casey says in her latest missive:
Pluto and the Mythic News:
February 26, 1993 – As a beautiful snowstorm swirled outside, I pondered the Mythic News, how the gods were trying to help us out by staging things in such a succinct symbolic manner that even the most dunderheaded humans would notice, and heed.
I noted that Pluto was stationing (apparent motion stops, the god beams down its literalized symbolism) that day, and that this god embodies the principle that whatever is suppressed becomes volatile and toxic due to its disrespectful suppression. One hour after the exact station, the news reported the 1st attempt to blow up the World Trade Towers from the Underworld parking garage. Whoowee…So literal.
I told this story at a speech at Herbfest Iowa in late August of 2001, saying, well Pluto’s now stationing again. Let’s see what we’ve all learned.
Pluto does station often in late August/early September. Last year, on September 1st, 2005, Pluto squared the U.S. Neptune, (where Neptune was when this country was born - representing the soul of this country.) And it was on that day that a British paper published the most apt cartoon, of the Statue of Liberty floating dead, face down in New Orleans, while disinterested troops with guns gazed dispassionately from an overhead bridge.
Well Pluto is stationing NOW, exact on Labor Day, September 4th at 7:20PM ET. So, team of dedicated democracy-philes, sane and reverent people, let’s work with it. Pluto says, “planet, schplanet”; in the words of ally Steve Bhaerman, “Sure it works in practice, but will it work in theory?”
The instructions of now encourage us to be active agents of Pluto, composting death in every imaginative, visualizing, practical manner that synchronicity affords us, to suck the “g” out of “kingdom,” and exhale the energetic chi into the animating of the resulting “kindom.”
Pluto would like us to collaborate in every way, sucking the energy out of any death-dealing up to no good irreverent violent plot, so that it is fully revealed, rendered harmless and collapses like a souffle.
As Vipassana meditation suggests, inhale the world’s grimy plutocracy, and exhale radiant beauty, now, forever, every day, together, for a few minutes, and especially this strange Labor Day weekend. Inhale death-dealing tyranny, exhale creative democracy.
And novelist Terry Pratchett adds: “When in doubt – choose to live!”

Wealth and Worth
I just received this from my dear friend Ellie, who turns 93 in a few weeks. (See my story honoring her on her 92nd birthday, The Love You Make). It's a good reminder to value who we are and what we offer, regardless of life's curve balls:
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives,
we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,
but by WHO WE ARE.
You are special- Don't EVER forget it."
Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember: amateurs built the Ark ...
professionals built the Titanic.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Expanding the Solar System, Part 2
I now have a meta-perspective on my nomadic lifestyle, or mobile ministry, as one faithful reader put it: I'm a planet! The word planet comes from the Greek for "wanderer". My gravitational field keeps me in a smaller orbit than the Heavenly bodies that wandered into our galactic orbit and remained there; nonetheless, the "as above, so below" correspondence holds a satisfyingly familiar ring, perhaps akin to one of Saturn's (my First House planet, for the astrologically adept.)
Now we're expanding our sphere of influence and inclusiveness, as it were, opening the Milky Way to connections with other confections.
Celestially speaking, the International Astronomical Union has honed its definition of a planet to the following two conditions:
• The object in question must be in orbit around a star, but must not itself be a star, and
• It must have enough mass for the body's own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape.
According to a report filed by the BBC, "Any object with a mass greater than 0.6% that of our Moon and a diameter greater than 800km would normally meet the second condition. But borderline cases will have to be resolved by more observation.
Some objects currently considered to be moons and asteroids could be eligible if they meet those basic tests. So the definition leaves the door open for other objects to join the expanding club."
It means Pluto has been demoted to the status of "pluton", along with Charon, (the temporarily named) UB313, and the asteroid Ceres. The IAU's proposal now recognizes eight "classical" planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What's a pluton? Not a crunchy space salad treat. According to the IAU, plutons "reside in orbits around the Sun that take longer than 200 years to complete, circle the Sun with high 'inclination' (are highly tilted with respect to the classical planets) and typically have orbits that are far from being perfectly circular."
Yet--plutons fit all the criteria of the new definition of a planet, so Pluto does not receive a full "demotion". And over a dozen other new candidates now vie for planetary status:
Trans-Neptunian Objects
2003 EL61
2005 FY9
Sedna
Orcus
Quaoar
Varuna
2002 TX300
Ixion
2002 AW197
Asteroids
Vesta
Pallas
Hygiea
This is certainly one way of expanding our galactic reach--and while certainly cosmological, it's not necessarily cosmic in scope. Stay tuned to both inner and outer dimensional frequencies for updates. Conscious evolution is a level playing field. Only requirement: a steadily opening mind.

Expanding the Solar System, Part 1
Since writing about global warming in my August e-newsletter, What Shines, I've been in the hot zone for cool information! Here's the latest:
If you're tired of gritting your teeth at the high cost of energy, stop the grit and get off the grid, with The Solar Power Directory, a web-based state-by-state listing of solar power and alternative energy installation companies throughout the US. The site includes links to other alternative energy products and services including wind power, bio-diesel, photovoltaic and hot water heating systems for home and business.

Being Peace
Between the oil spill polluting Lebanon and the foiled terrorist bombing of ten US-bound planes from the UK, we're primed to once again take sides and fight back against "the enemy." It's the only way to stand up for what's right and move towards world peace...NOT.
As the father of nonviolent activism, Mahatma Gandhi said, "There is no way to peace...peace IS the way." As much as our reactive minds might want to place sanctions against Israel for causing the oil carnage, or against the Muslim community for being behind the almost-air attack, this response only keeps us in duality—which is precisely where the forces of darkness most wish us to stay.
When Aluna Joy Yaxk'in asked the Star Elders whom she channels how to heal the "split between the worlds" that's been present in the Middle East for eons, they told her:
"First you must rise above duality. Duality will soon be an issue of the past. Don't see the problem. SEE the positive result. In other words, see perfection in that area. If you fight against war, it is just another form of war. War is duality in its extreme, and the underworlds are struggling to keep you in duality. Remember you are a part of the collective. How YOU live affects everyone. Quit fighting on every level. Live in Peace and Love at home, and see this Peace and Love in the areas that need it. Be at Peace with your neighbors. Walk on the lands in Peace. You can't fight for peace; you can only live it. Don't ask for PEACE. Don't Pray for PEACE. Start acting as if PEACE is already here! Remember how you live is what you create in the world. The universe responds to your actions. One day you will wonder what all the fighting was about. It won't make sense to you anymore, because you will have rewritten the collective program. Quit acting like victims and think you can't do anything about it. You are the creators now."
I wrote something similar after 9-1-1, about this event being a planetary spiritual emergence. (If you'd like the special broadcast, please e-mail me with "9-1-1 article" in the subject line.) A lot of people got it; a few vilified me. As more of these wake-up calls happen, more of us will continue to let go of more of the need to react in kind.
Would I endorse nonviolence over the law of the claw if people I loved dearly were involved? I like to think I'm getting there. Once of the most enlightened comments I've heard along these lines came from a man who participated in the Source Force gathering of lightworkers in Arizona this past April. He said, "I don't see my kids as any more important than anyone else's." That's a pretty monumental statement for a parent to make. When we can all see all children as equally sacred—followed by seeing all adults the same way—it will be the end of war on Earth. And then we can get down to what really matters.

Window to Infinity
Today is 8:8:8 (August 8, 2006, 2+0+0+6 = 8), a spiritual window on our collective evolutionary path. Eight is the number of integrity, of harmony; the principle of the octave (resonance), the path of the one heart. The Mayan Calendar (which I've been following faithfully for many years) asks, in the eighth moon, or on any eight-toned day, "Do I live what I believe?" Eight is known as the Galactic tone. "G" is the primordial symbol; "lactic" refers to mother's milk. We are living in the Milky Way. Nourishment of the cosmos! Eight on its side is eternity. The infinity of integrity...the symbolism just goes on and on, appropriately for a numerologically infinite day.
Canadian astrologer and way-shower Tara Greene has a lot to say about 888. Here's an excerpt:
"On the Highest Spiritual level all time is NOW. Everything that ever happened is occurring NOW and everything that ever will happen is happening NOW. We create our present from our past and our future from our present. It is Karma. So 888 is a Triply Karmic Day. Karmic to the third Power. This is a very powerful occurance.
888 is the number of the Holy Spirit, an endless cord, the ourobouros serpent eating its tail. The Infinity symbol appears in a number of traditional Tarot Trumps, the Magician # 1, and # 8 Strength/Justice.
From An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols by J.C. Cooper:
'Spiritually, eight is the goal of the initiate, having passed through the seven stages or heavens, and is thus, the number of Paradise regained; regeneration; resurrection; perfect rhythm; the eighth day created the new man of grace.
Buddhist: 8 means completion, all possibilities; 8 symbols good augury
Chinese: wholeness, all possibilities, good luck; the Ba Gua has 8 trigrams and pairs of opposites, the Book of Changes 8 x 8 =64. The circumference of the Ba Gua symbolizes time and space. There are 8 delights of human existence.
Christians: 8 symbolizes regeneration; rebirth. Eight beatitudes.
Egyptian: the number of Thoth, the great metaphysical teacher.
Hebrew: perfect intelligence, splendor, the digit value of IHVH, the 'number of the Lord'; The Temple was sanctified in eight days. Circumcision, the covenant with God for Hebrew males, takes place on the 8th day of life.
Hindu: 8 x 8 is the order of the celestial world established on earth. Temples are built on the pattern of the Mandala, the 8 x 8 symbolism. There are eight regions of the world; suns; divisions of the day .
Islam: The throne which encompasses the world is supported by eight angels, corresponding to the eight dividsions of space and the groups of letters in the Arabic Alphabet.'
The Tibetans use an instrument in their prayers called a dorje. It is considered to be a lightning bolt. It is a figure 8.
In the Kabbalah, the Number 8 is the Sefirot called 'Hod' and its meaning is Splendor.
It symbolizes reason, the Individual mind, the contact point with the Master Teachers, all Language and Visual Images. Its symbols are names and versicles, an apron. Its planet is Mercury/Thoth/Hermes. Its color is orange. It is related to the stellar light, bestowing elegance, swiftness, scientific knowledge and art, and constancy of speech, and it rules the sphere of actions of Mercury. Words properly vibrated have powerful effects on the inner planes. Chanting and mantras are in this sphere. Words have power. It is said that whosoever learns to pronounce the name of God, will be master of the Universe, as God.
Hod is a primary point of conceptual transfer in our return to the God/Goddess head. Hod helps us to understand the mechanisms of our perceptions. Beware, because we need to know where we may be deceived in the Astral realm. Hod also relates to the Moon, which is our cellular memories, our DNA, our past lives, present lives. The Moon rules intuition, instinctual knowledge.
There are 2 opportunities to invoke the vibrational sacred Geometry of 888. The first is August 8 and the second is August 17th, 2006 which adds up to 8, 1 + 7 = 8, August 17, 2006=888.
Between these 2 dates I advise a 10 day strategy beginning on August 8th to bring all of your personal past, present and future realities into alignment, and become Infinite, become the Messiah, become Christ’s sacred message of Love, Infinite Love and Compassion.
The Magician in the Tarot Trump #1 has a lemniscate, the mathematical sign for infinity above him. Like yin/yang, the symbol depicts the balance of the opposites, the interplay of energies, positive/negative endlessly changing into one another. Author Sallie Nichols in her book Jung and Tarot, sees the infinity sign as 'a pair of giant spectacles. If you put on these magic eyeglasses you may catch a glimpse into new dimensions of reality. These glasses are not rose-colored. What we shall see in this new dimension is a natural phenomenon. It is not pie-in-the-sky nor the manifestation of some vague 'other world.' The experiences which {infinity} offers us are as indigenous to our nature and as rooted in our terrestrial environment as are the plant that we see growing.'
The Number 8 Card in the Tarot Trumps is that duality of 8 and 11. How appropriate that the number 8 itself has a dual nature. Traditionally Tarot Trump # 8 is Strength, showing a woman closing the jaws of a Lion, with an Infinity symbol above her head. The Strength card shows our power over our animal selves by the Feminine Psyche or Soul. Spiritual Strength is what 8 confers. Also the balance of the human and the Divine. The Divine Mystery of Union. It is also Trump # 11/ Justice. Sometimes the two symbols are interchanged on the cards, 8 being Justice and 11 Strength depending on the Tarot deck. Justice is cause and effect. Karma, not as punishment but as a rebalanceing for deeds done."
In reading Tara's illuminating information, what flashed across my mental screen (and perhaps yours as well, if you've been reading these posts for at least a few days) is that we've now entered the Lion's Gate. The Divine Feminine is the key to taming the Leonine energies that can otherwise roar out of control. Masculine power in service to Feminine wisdom is true healing/wholeness/holiness. This is a wondrous opportunity for us all to wed our masculine and feminine selves both within our psyches and out in the world.
Tara offers a meditation for this 10-day window in her posting, and I've created two e-courses specifically to help you recognize, reclaim and celebrate the wedding of the masculine and feminine aspects of your life. I call it learning to yinify: to magnetize more of the Divine Feminine into your life and into the world. Both e-courses are available with an e-mail coaching option: The Inanna Initiations and Loving Our Lunacy.
Blessings and joy to you!

In reading Tara's illuminating information, what flashed across my mental screen (and perhaps yours as well, if you've been reading these posts for at least a few days) is that we've now entered the Lion's Gate. The Divine Feminine is the key to taming the Leonine energies that can otherwise roar out of control. Masculine power in service to Feminine wisdom is true healing/wholeness/holiness. This is a wondrous opportunity for us all to wed our masculine and feminine selves both within our psyches and out in the world.
Tara offers a meditation for this 10-day window in her posting, and I've created two e-courses specifically to help you recognize, reclaim and celebrate the wedding of the masculine and feminine aspects of your life. I call it learning to yinify: to magnetize more of the Divine Feminine into your life and into the world. Both e-courses are available with an e-mail coaching option: The Inanna Initiations and Loving Our Lunacy.
Blessings and joy to you!

The Fire This Time
August has always held special significance for me. Years before I knew anything about astrology, cosmic forces, or how energy works, the month signaled a kind of portent, when whatever happened amazed me. I now know the Leonine energies are a cosmic complement to my Aquarian sun--but well beyond this, our eighth month opens portals to power for us all.
On the Starchild Ascension site, Celia Fenn channeling Archangel Michael, writes,
"...the Sirius Star Gate opens into the Harmonic of the 8:8:8 on the 8th of August and is followed by the energy of the Full Moon (in Aquarius) the next day. The gate remains open until the 12th of August. Then, on the 13th of August, Venus transits into the fifth house of Leo, governed by the Sun and the element of Fire. The Fire Goddess Comes - the energy of the Solar Feminine floods the planet.
The fiery energy of the Divine Feminine in her manifestation as Sekmet, the lioness, has been felt on the planet in recent weeks, but now, the Fire Goddess flames forth in the fiery and intense energy of Leo. She will transit through Leo in the month of August, following the path of the Sun and creating intense and fiery energy. On the 27th of August she will cross paths with Saturn at 14 degrees of Leo. This will be a pivotal date, for at that time her energy will be under pressure to transform and change as a result of the close conjunction with Saturn.
At that point, dearest Lightworkers, the Planetary Collective will choose between continuing on the current path that will lead to continued destruction, or transmuting the energy into Global Peace and Harmony. Whatever seeds are planted at this time will grow and flourish in the next year. We cannot stress enough how important it is NOW to hold the vision of Global Peace. Pray for Peace, Meditate for Peace - create that miracle! Feel that Peace deep within yourself and your heart and believe in it totally and completely. Hold the Vision and the intention for the Highest Possible Outcome - Global Peace - starting in the Middle East."
On a personal level, we've also been working with the energy of the Divine Solar Feminine to transmute all that is not "of peace" in our own lives. Michael continues:
"The 8:8:8 'harmonic' is a vortex of pure energy that holds a powerful archetypal imprint that is made available to all those on the planet. The archetype of the 8 is PERSONAL POWER - the essence of the I AM within each person. The conjunction of this Harmonic with the Lion's Gate Energy creates a powerful moment for Personal and Planetary empowerment. The 8:8:8 is also what we would call a 'Time Gate' or 'Time Lock'. It allows you as individuals to access fully your Past and Future self in the Present Moment as you experience the entirety of your 'I AM' presence. Wherever you will find yourself physically at that time will be a power point for you. It is an opportunity to consciously integrate all that you Are and hold the balance, for yourself and the planet as part of your Lightwork.
The 'Spirit' Lions that guard the portal of the Lion's Gate were known in ancient Egypt as the Lions of 'Yesterday' and 'Tomorrow'. Enter in between the guardians of the Past and the Future, and fully claim your I AM power - NOW. This will give you great strength on your journey forward.
Then, on the 9th of August, this energy will be amplified by the energies of the Full Moon. The rising Moon will be in Aquarius, with the setting Sun in Leo. The energy of Aquarius is governed by Uranus, that planet of sudden shifts and changes. You can harness that energy to accelerate the transformation for PEACE as humanity stands at the threshold of the Age of Aquarius, or the Golden Age of Peace. You are planting the seeds for the Coming Age in your work right now!"
On the 13th, we have the opportunity to use the power of Sekmet to transmute the Solar Fire "from its lower expression of greed, power, and destruction into its higher expression of Love and Beauty and Harmony. "
Then on August 26th and 27th, resonance and reverberation begins, as we complete the 8:8:8 energies until we reach the 9:9:9 harmonic on the 9th and 27th of September in 2007. This will be the final clearing and closing of this cycle that began in 1999.
Michael assures us that as Venus in Leo transits Saturn in Leo, "This will be the important moment of Transformation and an opportunity to Restructure old patterns of hostility and transmute them into Higher Octaves of Peace and Love.
The Sun will have moved into Virgo on the 23rd of August, and the New Moon in Virgo, also on the 23rd, will allow you to GROUND your I AM power in order to create Global Peace and Harmony on the beloved Planet Earth.
Personally, and as a Planet, you can choose to transmute the Solar Fire energy into Higher Love through Global Peace. Call on the Divine Feminine through Hathor, to allow her energy to be felt at this time.
You are Human Angels, you are Christed Beings, you have worked for this moment. You are taking on your Mastery and becoming true Stewards of the planetary energy. You can make a difference!
Call Forth Peace and Joy.
And so - IT IS!"

Making the Planetary Personal
I learned of another great climate change site right after sending off my August e-newsletter on global warming: check out Climate Star.
It includes a letter you can customize and send to your legistlator(s), as well as a list of practical steps you can take right now to help reduce your ecological footprint.
I agree with all the climate choices except for microwave oven use; microwaves are actually very harmful to your health. E-mail me if you'd like a few microwave danger articles as Word attachments.

The Astrological Aspects Of Al Gore
Insightful astrologer Judy Goldberg once again dives into some very timely marrow with her analysis of Al Gore's planetary placements as they affect his place on the planet. Since I've just published my August newsletter on "An Inconvenient Truth," her article is a welcome addition to the mission:

The Ultimate Healing
I received the following as a forward, and while I am unable to verify the story, the message is so compelling I decided it's worth sharing "even if" it's apocryphal. This is mega-healing: for the Middle East, for the planet, for your own heart and soul and thus, the heart and soul of the world. Enjoy.

HO'OPONOPONO
by Joe Vitale
Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.
When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane? It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more. I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does--but that's wrong.
The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility. His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist.
He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years.
That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous.
Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit.
Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.
"After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely," he told me. "Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed." I was in awe. "Not only that," he went on, "but the staff began to enjoy coming to work.
Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed."
This is where I had to ask the million-dollar question: "What were you doing within yourself that caused those people to change?"
"I was simply healing the part of me that created them," he said. I didn't understand. Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life--simply because it is in your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.
Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing. Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your life. This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy or anything you experience and don't like--is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you. The problem isn't with them, it's with you, and to change them, you have to change you.
I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than total responsibility, but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho'oponopono means loving yourself.
If you want to improve your life, you have to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone, even a mentally ill criminal you do it by healing you.
I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he looked at those patients' files?
"I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained.
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, you improve your world.
Let me give you a quick example of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with the person who sent the nasty message.
This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept silently saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you,' I didn't say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating the outer circumstance.
Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his previous message. Keep in mind that I didn't take any outward action to get that apology. I didn't even write him back. Yet, by saying 'I love you,' I somehow healed within me what was creating him.
I later attended a ho'oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He's now 70 years old, considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat reclusive.
He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book's vibration will raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.
"What about the books that are already sold and out there?" I asked.
"They aren't out there," he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic wisdom. "They are still in you." In short, there is no out there. It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the depth it deserves.
Suffice It to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one place to look: inside you. When you look, do it with love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The words of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len:
"Ho'oponopono is really very simple. For the ancient Hawaiians, all problems begin as thought. But having a thought is not the problem. So what's the problem? The problem is that all our thoughts are imbued with painful memories, memories of persons, places, or things.
The intellect working alone can't solve these problems, because the intellect only manages. Managing things is no way to solve problems. You want to let them go! When you do Ho'oponopono, what happens is that the Divinity takes the painful thought and neutralizes or purifies it. You don't purify the person, place, or thing. You neutralize the energy you associate with that person, place, or thing. So the first stage of Ho'oponopono is the purification of that energy.
Now something wonderful happens. Not only does that energy get neutralized; it also gets released, so there's a brand new slate. Buddhists call it the Void. The final step is that you allow the Divinity to come in and fill the void with light.
To do Ho'oponopono, you don't have to know what the problem or error is. All you have to do is notice any problem you are experiencing physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever. Once you notice, your responsibility is to immediately begin to clean, to say, 'I'm sorry. Please forgive me.'"

Hotter Than July
Stevie Wonder wasn't writing about global warming when he penned the album that titles this entry, but he was prescient: the National Climatic Data Center reports that the first six months of 2006 were the warmest first half of any year in the continental United States since 1895 - 3.4 degrees above the 20th-century average.
Last month was the second-warmest June on record for the United States and the world, which had its warmest June ever in 2005. Globally, the first six months of 2006 were the sixth warmest on record; the warmest year was in 1998, according to the Climatic Center.
Our planet hasn't had a cooler-than-average first six months of any year since the early 1980s, a streak that defies the natural vagaries of weather.
So, is it global warming, or is it Memorex?
Whatever the reason, people are paying attention, and it's about time - literally. Acting in time, we can turn the warming trend around.
Are we ready to move our collective energy and focus from global bombing to global warming? Be sure to read my August e-newsletter, What Shines for in-depth info on this topic. And let's get some hot dialogue happening.

Happy New Year!
Today ushers in the Mayan year Red Magnetic Moon (1 Mulac in Yucatec), a global and galactic opportunity to embrace the Feminine in a major way and grow with the flow! Moon energy is all about water, fluidity, and allowing ourselves to dive deep into what has been hidden beneath the surface of our oh-so-solar, high intensity lives.
Each day of the Mayan Sacred Calendar, known as a "kin", carries a distinct energy that imprints your cells with the frequency of fourth dimensional time. It's an easy, fun way to get "out of your mind" and in touch/in tune with natural rhythms and earth cycles. I've been playing with the calendar since 1995 and live simultaneously in both worlds.
You can download a free pocket calendar at the Foundation for the Law of Time site, and steep yourself in an excellent self-guided tutorial on Mayan cosmology at Jaris Dreaming's Dreamspell page.
Today's galactic signature, Red Magnetic Moon, sounds like this:
I unify in order to purify
Attracting flow
I seal the process of universal water
With the magnetic tone of purpose
I am guided by my own power doubled!
This energy will guide the entire year, through July 24, 2007.

July 25th is a "Day Out Of Time"
Today is the annual "Day Out of Time" on the Mayan Calendar--which I've followed for more than a decade. The Calendar is aligned with natural rhythms and enables you to access fourth dimensional frequencies just by reciting each day's "galactic signature", or solar seal. These daily affirmations (260 in all, referred to as "kin") work on an intuitive level, and will quickly find their way into your subsconscious. I sing the galactic gateway each morning as I bounce on my rebounder!
What is the Day Out of Time (Also known as Green Day)? Here's a summary from the Galactic Research Institute:
"Around the planet, this day is reserved for festival and community.
Central focuses are: Planetary Peace through Culture, Stop business as usual, Attest to the truth that 'Time is Art!', forgiveness, atonement, freeing of debts, purification, the Art of Peace...
The Day out of Time, celebrated annually since 1992, always falls on July 25th. On the 13 Moon calendar, this day is no day of the month, and no day of the week. It is inbetween the closing of the previous year (July 24th) and the dawning of the new year (July 26th). The offical flag for the Day out of Time is the Banner of Peace.
This flag is flown in 71 Brazilian cities alone, where it is recognized as an official municipal holiday. In Japan, over 100 Day out of Time Festivals displayed this symbol to unify our intentions of 'Planetary Peace Through Culture.' This day is an opportunity to experience the freedom of being alive, true timelessness and loving kindness. Whether public gatherings or private circles, this day is a catalytic launch-pad for the year to come, a great, global harnessing of telepathic presence, and a perfect way to invite new participants into the harmony of the 13 Moon Calendar. The celebration begins in the heart!
The Day out of Time this year will bear the Galactic Signature of 'Yellow Cosmic Star,' which, based on the Dreamspell Mythology, signifies an extremely critical alignment opportunity for us. The Yellow Cosmic Star is Kin 208, which represents the final 208th step leading to 'Merlin's Green Central Castle of Enchantment', which is a domain of consciousness available to all of us who can awaken out of our 'cosmic amnesia' and remember who we are and why we are here.
This is the Galactic Signature for today:
Kin 208 Yellow Cosmic Star
I endure in order to beautify
Transcending art
I seal the store of elegance
With the cosmic tone of presence
I am guided by the power of free will!
On this Day Out of Time, we can join kin around the world in deepening our commitment to the truth that 'Time is Art', and that we can free ourselves from the oppression and confusion of the frequency of mechanized time. As we liberate ourselves from its distortions, we are awakening from the 5000-year spell of his-story. Together, we can enter the Red Magnetic Moon year with an unwavering connection to the the galactic time magic residing within every human heart!"

What is the Day Out of Time (Also known as Green Day)? Here's a summary from the Galactic Research Institute:
"Around the planet, this day is reserved for festival and community.
Central focuses are: Planetary Peace through Culture, Stop business as usual, Attest to the truth that 'Time is Art!', forgiveness, atonement, freeing of debts, purification, the Art of Peace...
The Day out of Time, celebrated annually since 1992, always falls on July 25th. On the 13 Moon calendar, this day is no day of the month, and no day of the week. It is inbetween the closing of the previous year (July 24th) and the dawning of the new year (July 26th). The offical flag for the Day out of Time is the Banner of Peace.
This flag is flown in 71 Brazilian cities alone, where it is recognized as an official municipal holiday. In Japan, over 100 Day out of Time Festivals displayed this symbol to unify our intentions of 'Planetary Peace Through Culture.' This day is an opportunity to experience the freedom of being alive, true timelessness and loving kindness. Whether public gatherings or private circles, this day is a catalytic launch-pad for the year to come, a great, global harnessing of telepathic presence, and a perfect way to invite new participants into the harmony of the 13 Moon Calendar. The celebration begins in the heart!
The Day out of Time this year will bear the Galactic Signature of 'Yellow Cosmic Star,' which, based on the Dreamspell Mythology, signifies an extremely critical alignment opportunity for us. The Yellow Cosmic Star is Kin 208, which represents the final 208th step leading to 'Merlin's Green Central Castle of Enchantment', which is a domain of consciousness available to all of us who can awaken out of our 'cosmic amnesia' and remember who we are and why we are here.
This is the Galactic Signature for today:
Kin 208 Yellow Cosmic Star
I endure in order to beautify
Transcending art
I seal the store of elegance
With the cosmic tone of presence
I am guided by the power of free will!

Coming Om to the Light
To complement yesterday's post, here's a slightly different perspective on the current Leonine energies, the explosiveness in the Middle East, and our collective quest for planetary peace. Thanks to Lynne Murgula.
"In recent days many lightworkers have expressed awareness of apparently baseless agitation experienced both on physical and psychic levels. There can be little doubt that the conflict currently escalating in the Middle East is impacting the etheric web of the planet, given this area's historic role as the 'cradle of civilization'.
Disciples recognize physical plane events as reflections of the fight-to-the-finish between the forces of darkness and light -- a reality which becomes increasingly potent with the ever-advancing approach of the Age of Aquarius -- and which can be addressed only via transformation of the etheric energies surrounding the planet, energies determining all manifestation upon the dense physical plane which humanity inhabits in physical form.
As we commence our work with Leo, the sign of individual awareness, and with its New Moon, the moon phase of beginnings, let us recognize the spiritual reality that we are all One -- fragments of the Whole -- and the truth that the sense of ourselves as individual beings is an illusion caused by the duality inherent in form. Let us, therefore, use the opportunity of the Leo energies to reveal the inherent Oneness of all."
Keynote for Leo: "I Am That Am I"
MEDITATION
We come together in group intent, raising our attention above the head, allowing energy - in the form of spirit - to flow through the body and through this worldwide group working together. We direct this spirit from the intuitive center between the eyebrows, toward and permeating our planet as it hangs in space -- giving rise to a translucent, shimmering globe transforming the light from white to silver to radiant gold. We hold this vision for 2 minutes, then recognizing our individuality within the group, we experience the Oneness we have become in the synthetic effort to light the planet and thereby prepare humanity for the new world era. We invite spirit to permeate and consolidate our Oneness in preparation for sharing its light in the coming Full Moon of Leo. We hold this vision of the group for 3 minutes, then sounding aloud:
OOOOOMMMMM OOOOOMMMMM OOOOOMMMMM

Tools for Cooling Our Global Fever
As we enter the astrological sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun, we're living in a hot zone everywhere: tempers are flaring, the Middle East is again embroiled in an emotional volcano, and the planet Herself is overheating to record levels. Fortunately, we are powerful co-creators who can help shift the energy using the tool that's our best-kept open secret: awareness.
In her latest newsletter, Deb Holt reminds us, "These days between July 13th and August 3rd are known as, 'days of narrowness.' Or simply put, the three negative weeks. They can be considered the most challenging days of the year. And potentially the most rewarding.
The spiritual ozone layer that normally surrounds us is now removed. This lack of a filter results in Light permeating us directly and in concentrated form. Without restriction, our vessels are unable to handle this infusion of energy and this is why throughout history wars and large-scale calamities have occurred during this time.
However, if we take extra care to treat others--and ourselves-- with human dignity, the Light available at this time can wake us up from our slumber of routine and complacency. With the consciousness of love for no reason - especially when we are angry - we will generate enormous goodness both personally and globally.
This is the time of Leo. This month there is a strong tendency to experience a surge of negativity. The sign of Leo is controlled by the sun, and whereas most other planets control two signs, the only sign the sun controls is Leo. Therefore, the energy of Leo is very concentrated. If we are not ready for it, we can get dowsed.
Know that the fundamental underlying cause of the difficulties and chaotic conditions that have become part of the human landscape is the intolerance of people toward each other. Intolerance separates us from the Light of the Creator and permits the negative ego-energy to run the show.
To counter this surge of egocentric entitlement we dig deeper within ourselves and find a way to love for no reason. Unconditional love is something of a slogan these days. We say it, but don't always know how to do it.
The information below can be used often and shared with friends and family. Envision the troubled areas in your personal life and around the globe and imagine sending Light and Love to those dark places. With the collective energy being generated throughout the world, we will generate miracles for the record books.
Assets of the Leo:
• Sincere, hard-working yet laid-back, love to learn, fun, charismatic, larger-than-life
Main motivation:
R–E–S–P–E–C–T
Negatives and how to transform them:
• The rule is that a Leo knows everything, and they also can fix everyone’s life. As a Leo, give yourself permission not to fix everyone’s problems.
• Leos hate asking for help. Go against your nature – receive instead of give – to create new opportunities.
• Flattery will get you everywhere with a Leo. Learn to give yourself approval so you don't need to seek it from every person you meet.
• Leos live in extremes, from how they spend their money to how they love others. Seek balance in everything you do. Ask yourself why you are doing too much.
• One of Leo’s main problems in relationships is trust. Letting people in is a challenge. So show your vulnerability is not a weakness – it is a strength and a very attractive quality.
• Leos give too much and never understand why people turn against them afterwards. Remember the principle to allow people to earn your largesse.
How to improve relationships with a Leo:
• Treat them with respect.
• Ask them to do you a favor rather than ordering them to do something.
• Give them a lot of attention.
• Gently help them see outside of themselves.
This month, climbing out of our quicksand of 'disgust and annoyance' is not so simple when we are neck deep in it. Yet, patience is the action to pull us out when we are sinking into 'hatred for no reason.' Practice patience with yourself first, and then with others this month. Start with yourself first because our hatred and anger comes from our own pain and confusion. So we need to be gentle with ourselves. We won’t embrace others’ Light if we don’t already embrace our own.
For these next 31 days use the mantra: let it go. It's not the time to dwell in hatred, even if we do have good reasons. The energy is too powerful and the boomerang of the karmic effect is quick and painful.
This is also a great time to reacquaint ourselves with useful spiritual tools and practices. This is one of pain’s positives – it helps us appreciate the many resources for moving more quickly into the Light."

How We Spend Our Dash
On the heels of seeing Al Gore's riveting film about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, I received an e-mail with the link to this mini-movie reminding us about how brief and precious our lives truly are: The Dash Movie. While it's true I'm an empath and highly sensitive, both moved me to tears, especially coming in rapid succession.
I'll have a lot more to say about An Inconvenient Truth in the August issue of my e-newsletter, What Shines, and will look forward as always to your feedback.
In the meantime, may your dash be a slow dance of delight, purpose, joy, and abundant love.

How to Heal the World
Thanks to Maggie Erotokritou, coordinator of the Planetary Awakening Network (PAN), for transmitting this succinct description of what's happening to and for all of us now. It's excerpted from Owen Waters' new book, The Shift: The Revolution in Human Consciousness:
"The Shift to the New Reality has been gaining speed for many years. We have entered a phase of The Shift which is now bringing rapid transformation to our world.
In physics, transformation emerges from within chaos. The existence of chaos is not an option, it's just the way the universe works. The global chaos that we are experiencing is, according to physics, normal. From mankind's point of view, to put it in everyday parlance, this is not a good thing. The effects can range from mild discomfort to extreme trauma.
The good news is that the energy of transformation can express itself at many levels. The energy has to go somewhere, so if the energy of transformation fails to find expression at a higher frequency level, it will spiral downwards until it does find an outlet for its expression. But it can be absorbed and used at the spiritual level, diverting any need for physical upheaval.
The energy of transformation can be channeled into a spiritual focus, into emotional release or it can be allowed to manifest in the only remaining field of popular action, the physical world. There it will erupt through emotion-driven, physical phenomena - volcanic eruption, earthquakes and violent storms, for example. All of these 'natural' disasters are driven by the chaotic emotional energy of mankind. All of them can be healed and prevented when people channel enough spiritual energy to soothe the chaos.
Today, it is more important than ever to send healing energies into the world. If enough people enter their inner, spiritual space regularly, then the incoming energies of transformation can be expressed on a spiritual level.
You can make all the difference in the world today when you help balance the incoming energies of transformation by using the following technique.
The Infinite Being Heal the World Technique:
Reconnect with your spiritual source daily. Use the Infinite Being meditation from the InfiniteBeing.com web site, or your own meditation technique, the first thing every day. Make it a habit, a part of your morning routine.
End your meditation session by spending time in gratitude for life, nature and the Infinite Being from which you materialized. Let a sense of gratitude for everything in your life fill your heart.
Then, intend world peace and enlightenment. Send this intention out into the world as love energy through the heart chakra just in front of your breastbone.
This alone would be enough to make a big difference in the world today. However, by adding a third component to the technique, it becomes enormously powerful and effective.
Powerful acts of creation all have three essential components: intent, feeling and motion. Those are the only three tools which Infinite Being used to create the universe and everything within it. That's how powerful those three components are, when used together in equal balance.
So far you have set the first component,
(1) Your intention - world peace and enlightenment.
You have also set the second component,
(2) A love-inspired environment - gratitude for the universe and everything in your life.
Now, it's time for the third component,
(3) Action. It is time to move that energy, in large quantities, into the global mind atmosphere surrounding the Earth. This is how:
On every in-breath, imagine white light from the Cosmos entering your crown chakra, above the head, and traveling down your spine to the level of your heart, then traveling forward into your heart chakra, just in front of your breastbone.
At the same time, see white light from the Earth entering the base of your spine and traveling up the spine, then forward, to merge with the cosmic energy in the heart chakra.
The energies of the Cosmos and the Earth will fuse together and cause an energetic reaction at the frequency of the heart chakra. This fusion forms a ball of energetic white light in the heart chakra.
With every out-breath, send the power of this energetic reaction out to the world. Direct it as a beam of white light from your heart chakra, out into the world.
Continue this in-breath, out-breath cycle for at least five minutes each morning and you will not only help heal the world, you will change your entire day for the better.
The universe reflects who you are. When you practice healing the world, by automatic reflection, you heal who you are. Any and all issues which have been challenging for you will move closer towards resolution as you help the world in this way.
There's nothing like starting your day helping to heal the world in these critical days of transformation. It's one of those things that brightens your day and makes you feel good to be alive."

Celestial Wisdom: Divine Guidance in Hollywood?
Ace astrologer Judith Goldberg reports in her latest missive, Saturday Night at the Movies: The Cosmic Cultural Revolution that the spate of spiritual cinema we're seeing may just be divinely guided: a little Heavenly intervention now that, collectively, we're ready to e/merge from our oft-created circuit of hell!
Planetary synchronicities are helping film producers on Earth to deliver message movies for the masses now, including:
• An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore's cinematic warning about Global Warming);
• The DaVinci Code (based on the best-selling eponymous book, which turns conventional wisdom about Mary Magdalene on its ear. The Divine Feminine is re-emerging because it's time!);
• Conversations with God and Celestine Prophecy (both based on bestsellers, by Neale Donald Walsch and James Redfield, respectively, and available on DVD through Stephen Simon's Spiritual Cinema Circle);
• Peaceful Warrior (based on Dan Millman's book, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" and discussed in depth, here);
• The Secret (which I haven't seen but which has been recommended by several sources);
...and a number of others in the pipeline set for near-future release.
I've always been a reader more than a movie buff, but statistically, I'm in the minority. However, given the turning tide in cinematic fare, I may just have to spend more quality time with the Silver Screen. Please pass the popcorn.
