Frank Sinatra That's Life with Lyrics

Do You Believe in the Hereafter?

"My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.”
― Rumi
 

Do you believe in the Hereafter? Let me clarify.  Afterlife, Life after death and Hereafter refers to the soul/consciousness continuing to exist, after shedding the physical body to exist in a spiritual realm of many planes of consciousness or dimensions.  

There is no definitive proof, no certainty of a life after death, but I believe life exist after death not only from what I learn from other people’s experiences and writings, but from my own. In my ebook Path to Truth: a Spiritual Memoir, I write about the death of my 19 -year- old brother that occurred in the late seventies. He came to me in Dreamtime and told me to forgive everyone whom I was holding hostility against surrounding his death. 

The second significant encounter for me happened in the West Kennett Long Barrow, a Neolithic Tomb, situated near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England. I was meditating, and my son appeared to me in a vision. He was running through the tunnels of the cave, and I was chasing him, something I gathered he didn’t like.

He stopped and said, “Why are you chasing me? I’m happy.” He looked at me perplexed. I looked to my right and saw a group of my family members and they shouted at me, “We are happy.”

Recently, my father made his transition after a horrendous accident, and I relied on my belief in the afterlife and reincarnation to help me through the grieving period. As part of my grieving journey, I attended the workshop-The Biggest Transition Death-what does it mean? - given by Richard Stammler, PhD. Dr. Stammler is the director of the Warrenton Inner HealingCenter where he conducts transpersonal hypnotherapy sessions and workshops. His first question to the attendees was what do you expect to get out of the workshop.

I was there for the regression/visualization exercises. To answer Dr. Stammler’s question. I wanted to contact my father. I knew it would help to ease my grieving pain even more.

During the second visualization exercise of the workshop, I encountered my father at one of my favorite meditation spots. He looked healthy and younger. Dad was wearing his favorite outfit-a jogging suit. We sat on a bench overlooking a lake and he hugged me. 

I asked him, “How are you?” 

He smiled and replied, “I’m exploring this place; trying to figure it out.”

“Have you seen any of the other family members?” I asked.

“No,” he replied.

And as quickly as he appeared, he was gone.

What can I say, except, that I'm a believer.

EcoAstrology: Libra New Moon

Important Dates:
October 1 - 4: Sun-Pluto-Uranus T-Square (9-11º Libra-Capricorn-Aries)
October 4: New Moon 5:34 PM PDT (12º Libra); Saturn quincunx Uranus (10º Scorpio-Aries)
October 8: Draconids Meteors
October 12: Sun square Jupiter (19º Libra-Cancer)

October 1, 2013
Dear Friends,

Intention is everything. Quantum physics tells us that mind and matter are not separate, that the observer affects the observed. By focusing our attention, light waves become particles; reality emerges from an infinite sea of possibilities. New moons are optimal times to set new intentions, and in Libra, the cosmic wave guides us toward how we could engender more balance in our life, more love in our relationships, and more peace in the world.

Libra’s symbol, the Scales, traces back to the beginning of recorded history. In ancient Egypt, it was believed that the heart of the deceased was weighed against the feather of truth; if the scales tipped, the soul had to reincarnate. Early Christians considered Libra an emblem of Archangel Michael, who wields the sword of Truth. Described as the Razor’s Edge Path in the Upanishads, and as the Middle Way in Buddhism, Libra’s spiritual quest is the reconciliation of opposites, which occurs in the heart, not the mind. When our hearts are open, we realize our connection and equality with all life. When our hearts are closed, we are imprisoned in the illusion of duality and separation. For a karmic shortcut to integrating opposites, visit: www.corelight.org/resources/marriage-of-spirit/chapters/chapter-eleven/, which details a powerful technique called 'Squares' from Leslie Temple Thurston's book The Marriage of Spirit.

Venus, the traditional ruler of Libra and named for the goddess of love and beauty, is associated with the heart chakra. Venus’s current transit through Scorpio — along with Mercury, the North Node, and Saturn — signals the need to let go of what keeps us in the dark. Scorpio leads us to embrace the shadow parts of ourselves; Venus in Scorpio requires us to reclaim the dark feminine, the principle of wholeness and interrelationship, of birth, life, and death. This archetype has been symbolized around the world as the Black Madonna, Crow Mother, Hecate, Inanna, Isis, Kali, Lilith, Mary Magdalene, Morrigan, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Oya, Pele, Persephone, Tara, Tiamat, and many others. The dark feminine calls us into our emotional depths, into the great mystery, into our diversity and divinity. Denial of the feminine cuts us off from our feelings, body, and connection with Nature — resulting in alienation, illness, and environmental suicide. For more on the dark feminine, read Demetra George’s book Mysteries of the Dark Moon and Fred Gustafson’s anthology The Moonlit Path.

This Libra new moon closely opposes Uranus and squares Pluto; it also widely squares Jupiter in Cancer to form an extremely dynamic grand cross, (in effect from October 1 - 12), forcing us to face long-standing issues of imbalance and injustice. Conjunctions initiate new cycles, squares mark major turnings points, and oppositions highlight where we must transcend polarization. Uranus and Pluto last met in 1965–66 and were close together for most of that decade, a period of tremendous social change; between 2012 and 2015, they form seven exact squares, impelling us to manifest the visions seeded in the 1960s. Uranus in Aries spurs us to be courageous and innovative. Pluto in Capricorn summons us to be truthful and responsible. Jupiter in Cancer expands our understanding and respect for the feminine, feelings, and family. In addition, Saturn quincunxes Uranus just a few hours after the peak of this new moon, spotlighting where we need to confront our fears and think out of the box. On October 12, the Sun squares Jupiter, illuminating new possibilities and solutions.

What is calling for more balance in your life? What is being mirrored to you in your relationships? Where are you being challenged to view things differently? Stay as centered as possible, and allow yourself to feel whatever is moving through you, even if it doesn't make sense in the moment. Feelings are like water; when blocked, stagnation and disease occur. The more we dissolve old beliefs, fears, and judgments, the more joy, light, and love we experience. As we balance and integrate opposites, we ascend from duality to unity, from conflict to co-creation, remaining in the eye of the hurricane, centered and protected from the storms around us. Know that you are never alone. Ask for help from your spiritual support team whenever you need it. Remember: "You hold the geometries of what is sacred. You hold the promises that you made before you incarnated into your original soul. Hold tight to who you truly are through these shifts and not lose yourself to the mayhem. You are a living vortex, you are a living light, and you are an emissary of the Heavens." (Gillian MacBeth-Louthan, http://www.thequantumawakening.com)

Join Archangel Michael for This Activity of Light by Patricia Cota-Robles

September 29, 2013

Archangel Michael’s Feast Day

September 29, 2013, is Archangel Michael’s Feast Day. On this sacred and holy day, the Light of God is exponentially expanding on Earth. Archangel Michael has directed his Legions of Power and Protection to help the I AM Presence of every person on Earth to envelope each one in an invincible forcefield of Light and protection.

The Divine Intent of this forcefield of Light is to prevent the ever-expanding influxes of Light from our Father-Mother God and the Realms of Eternal Light from creating excess stress on our physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies, as we continue to move through this Ascension process at warp speed. This forcefield of Light and protection will expand in, through, and around the bodies of Mother Earth and the Elemental Kingdom as well.

In order to successfully accomplish this for every man, woman, and child on Earth, Archangel Michael is invoking our assistance. He gave us a decree many years ago that is designed to protect Humanity from interference from anything that is not of the Light. This forcefield of Light and protection is also designed to lift Humanity above the fray of our human miscreation and the surfacing chaos in the outer world. If this decree resonates in your Heart, please say it today and for as many days in the future as your I AM Presence guides you to do so.

I AM deeply grateful for your willingness to add to the Light of the world. God Bless YOU!

Archangel Michael’s

Ring Pass Not of God’s First Cause of Perfection

Encapsulate me and all Humanity in your invincible Circle of White Lightning, the Ring Pass Not of God’s First Cause of Perfection. Prevent anything that is not of the Light from interfering with our service to the Light and our Divine Mission of Loving ALL Life on this sweet Earth FREE.

Archangel Michael, permanently station one of your Mighty Angels of Power and Protection within my aura and the aura of every person on Earth. Direct these Angels to use their Swords of Blue Flame to instantly...

CUT US FREE! ( repeat 9X )

from every line of force that would strive to prevent the Immaculate Concept of our Divine Plans from being fulfilled. Free us instantly from any blocks or resistance from our own lower consciousness that might try to impede the God Victorious accomplishment of our heartfelt service to Humanity and the Light...

CUT US FREE! ( repeat 9X )

from every line of force that connects us with imperfection of any kind, and send your powerful Blue Flame to dissolve each line of force to its end.

Place your Cross of Blue Flame in front of us, in back of us, on either side of us, above and below us and...

SEAL! SEAL! SEAL!

me and every person on Earth in your Cross of Blue Flame and your Ring Pass Not of God’s First Cause of Perfection now and forever! I so decree it, and accept it done, through the Power of God, I AM. And so it is.

EcoAstrology: Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse

Important Dates:
May 20: 3rd exact Uranus-Pluto square (11º Aries-Capricorn)
May 24: Lunar Eclipse 9:25 PM PDT (4º Gemini-Sagittarius); SuperMoon; Wesak
May 26: Sun square Neptune (5º Gemini-Pisces)
May 25-28: Mercury-Venus-Jupiter conjunction (19-24º Gemini)

May 19, 2013
Dear Friends,

“We live in the extended atmosphere of an active star. While sunlight enables and sustains life, the Sun's variability produces streams of high energy particles and radiation that can harm life or alter its evolution.” (http://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/)

Everything is connected. If you are feeling unusually tired, buzzed, and/or like you are going to explode, it's likely due to the recent surge of solar activity. Between May 13 and May 15, there were four X-class solar flares (the strongest) and an M3-class (medium) solar flare on May 17th. More recently: "A CME (coronal mass ejection) hit Earth's magnetic field on May 18th at around 0100 UT. Although it was just a glancing blow, the impact was enough to spark a G1-class geomagnetic storm. In the United States, Northern Lights descended as far south as Pawnee Buttes, Colorado." (www.SpaceWeather.com). Coronal mass ejections affect the Earth’s magnetosphere and are known to cause interference with radio, television, and telephone signals, anomalies in air and marine navigation instruments, and surges in power lines, as well as increases in aurora, earthquake, and volcanic activity.

These cosmic emanations have an even deeper influence and intention; they are altering our psychology and physiology, as well as the Earth’s electromagnetic grid. Humanity is being rewired; our nervous systems and DNA are changing to accomodate higher frequencies. Whatever lingers in our unconscious is being flushed up for clearing and healing. Whatever is holding us down and back is becoming intolerable. Simply your life as much as possible. You may need a lot more rest and/or a change of diet. Strange symptoms and unexplainable feelings are common signs that we are adapting to new levels of perception. This is not business as usual. Use your discernment; don’t go on automatic. These are challenging times for our bodies and psyches, as our neural pathways and consciousness make the necessary adjustments. Everyone is unique and going through this process at their own pace, so listen to your intuition and trust what feels right for you.

From Aluna Joy: “These solar pulses stretch us beyond the form we are familiar or comfortable with. This is a part of the ascension process. When we can hold no more light, we feel like we are pushed to the very edge and feel like we could explode... The magnetic pulses bring up to the surface everything that does not fit within the collective divine plan. We purge, detox, and let go and surrender from our body, mind and spirit. This purging creates more space for more light.... Let GO and let GOD emerge from inside of you... just breathe and know that we are being protected and fiercely guarded by a divine plan set into action. Our star family is watching over us, as we transform quickly into something we can't even envision now. So breathe, get yourself grounded as much as possible, and hang out with like frequency soul family.” (full article at http://www.alunajoy.com/2013-may15.html)

Several other factors combine to make the next full moon one of the most potent times of 2013, offering opportunities for big breakthroughs. May 20 Uranus and Pluto form their third of seven exact squares, which span from June 2012 through March 2015, intensifying the need to make big changes in our lives. Where are you being forced to face your worst fears, own your shadow, and reclaim your power? Where do you need to be more independent, innovative, and unconventional? As Uranus, the planet of revolution, squares Pluto, the archetype of evolution, all that is not in alignment with our ascension in consciousness is being shaken up, down, and out. Uranus and Pluto met three times in 1965–66 (16°–17° Virgo) and were within 10° of each other most of that decade, a period marked by worldwide cultural and political upheaval, as well quantum leaps in technology and space exploration. Squares signal a crossroad and crisis point, where we are called to act on the potentials and visions encoded at the conjunction; it’s time to manifest the Aquarian ideals of equality, peace, and prosperity for all.

This next full moon is also a lunar eclipse, the third of three eclipses in a row, as well as a SuperMoon, where the Moon is both at perigee (closest to the Earth) and at syzygy (in a straight line with the Sun and Earth), intensifying gravitational and electromagnetic shifts, affecting tides, tectonic plates, and our perceptions of reality. It also coincides with Wesak, a commemoration of the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing, which is celebrated by millions around the world. According to Alice Bailey: “Wesak is a time of unusual inflow of life and of spiritual stimulation, serving to vitalize the aspiration of all humanity. At the time of the Festival, through the united effort of the Christ and the Buddha working in closest cooperation, there is opened a channel of communication between humanity and deity through which an approach can be made to Those Who guide our planet, so that aspirants and disciples can contact energies not otherwise easily available." (full article at http://www.wesak.us/articles.php)

This full moon/eclipse highlights the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius -- the power of the mind, and the power of belief. In Bruce Lipton’s groundbreaking book, The Biology of Belief, he describes how our forebrain, the center of reasoning and logic, processes information much more slowly than the reflex activity controlled by our hind brain. Our subconscious mind takes in about 20,000,000 environmental stimuli per second, but our conscious mind interprets only about 40 stimuli per second. This is the reason “the hand is quicker than the eye.” Our subconscious mind monitors both external and internal cues and instantly applies learned behaviors. When we are stressed, afraid, or worried, we perceive and act from a much more primitive, limited part of our brain; our fight-or-flight reptilian complex supersedes our rational neocortex. The higher mind responds; the lower brain reacts. As Lipton puts it, “The simple truth is, when you are frightened, you’re dumber.”

From birth to two years of age, the human brain operates predominately in Delta waves (1–4 Hz). From ages 2 to 6, we spend more time in Theta (4–8 Hz), low-frequency brainwaves that put us in a more suggestible, programmable state. Young children observe and download everything into their subconscious minds. As we get older, our brainwave frequencies increase to Alpha (8–13 Hz) and Beta (13–40 Hz), making us less impressionable. Hypnotherapy and many other kinds of healing modalities induce Theta states, where memories and beliefs are stored and more easily reprogrammed. Music, shamanic drumming, meditation, communing with Nature, being with animals, and long-distance driving can also move us into Theta states, greatly facilitating our access to creativity, intuition, and higher truths.

Mercury, the traditional ruler of Gemini and the planet most associated with the mind, conjuncts Venus at the peak of this full moon; this facilitates linking head with heart, thinking with feeling, logic with intuition. Even though the majority of all communication is nonverbal, we tend to discount or ignore the vast amount of information we receive from our other senses. Jupiter’s conjunctions with Mercury on May 27 and with Venus on May 28 support our ability to perceive that sound and light encode even more information than words, and that more data does not necessarily equate with more knowledge. Neptune closely squares this eclipse and exactly squares the Sun on May 26, awakening our “sixth sense,” our capacity to intuitively know what is truth and what is spin. Neptune amplifies intuition, imagination, illusion, and inspiration; pay special attention to what goes through your mind, your daydreams, night dreams, synchronicities etc. for important messages from your higher self.

Solar flares, a full moon which is both an eclipse and a SuperMoon, the 3rd Uranus-Pluto square, and Wesak makes this an extraordinary time for revelations and quantum leaps in consciousness. These words came to me while writing the 12/13/12 Update, and feel key for these times as well: There is nothing to fear. Relax. Rest. Release. Receive. Remember.

Relax in the knowing that you don't have to do anything, that you always have choice. Do less and be more; the best "doing" comes from your "being".

Rest into the loving support that is holding you and assisting you through this transition. Your guides and angels are on standby, waiting for you to call on them. You need only ask.

Release whatever is weighing you down and holding you back. Be in the present moment. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. Bless it all. Be grateful for what you learned.

Receive the light, the love, the information that is pouring down from the heavens. The downloads may take a while to decode. Hold beginners mind. We are making a quantum leap.

Remember who you really are. Remember that you were born and trained for these times. Remember that everything you need is inside you. Remember your heart knows the way.

Namaste,

Transcript for WealthySistas Radio Show-Prosperity and the Spoken Word

Hi Everyone,

My name is JJ Michael.

I’m an author, blogger and professional numerologist and metaphysical teacher.I  have been working in the field of spiritual science work for over 30 years.

Today on WealthySistas I’ m going to give you 2 powerful Wealth tips based on metaphysical and spiritual principles. We are going to focus on the spoken word.

Tip 1: Don’t use negative words when speaking about your finances or money. 

Stay in awareness or mindful of what you’re saying.Conversations where you innocently make negative remarks, such as, I’m broke, I can’t, my money is short, I’m poor or I’ll never have money can inhibit or stop your flow of prosperity.

Your subconscious mind hears the words broke, can’t and never and based on the Law of Attraction, which acts like a magnet, gives you exactly what you decree. 
 

Tip 2: Thee key to opening the door to financial success is within you.

You have a choice. You can continue using negative words and getting the same results or you can change your thinking and the spoken word. Viktor E. Frankl was in a concentration camp. He said, "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."

 

You can choose your words.

Today, Neuroscientists and spiritual teachers believe that the brain changes throughout our lives. Therefore, we can train the brain. We can learn how to use the right words to attract to us those things, people, and places for our good. 

To learn more about prosperity, check out my book, Path to Truth: a Spiritual Memoir.http://www.amazon.com/Path-Truth-Spiritual-Memoir-ebook/dp/B007R0P5A6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367855368&sr=8-1&keywords=Path+to+truth%3A+a+spiritual+memoir
