Sun's Vitamin D3 Benefits for the Body

There are many benefits to healthy levels of Vitamin D3 in the body which the Sun itself can produce. Here are but a few that should help you understand why a moderate amount of sun exposure leads to better mental, physical and spiritual health.

• Protection from diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease
• Can help treat depression naturally
• Lowers risk of breast, ovarian, prostate, and colorectal cancers
• Essential to bone health
• Kills bad bacteria

Sunlight Prescription

• Start slowly with sun exposure on as much of your skin as possible
• Don't allow any reddening of the skin to occur
• Sunbathe only in the early morning or late afternoon sun
• Avoid midday sun
• Work up to 10-15 minutes 3-4 times per week

If you must stay out of the sun, then please, avoid most brands of sunblock as well as skincare products and makeup which contain sunblock. These have been known to cause cancer. Instead try organic natural sunblocks like DNA Skincare's line of healthy chemical free sunblock which you can wear under your makeup.

Yoga and the Sun

Lastly, regarding sun bathing, there are double benefits when performing the 12 asanas in Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation meditation along with the morning sun's warming rays. Atapa Snana, is the yogic phrase for the healing science of sun bathing. The ancient yogis and many other cultures knew how to use the sun to heal all kinds of illnesses, and bring about radiant health. Performing Surya Namaskar facing the morning sun offers vast health benefits. For exampie, it increases the solar plexus from the size of an almond to the size of a palm. This expansion of solar plexus, also known as the second brain, develops our intuitive ability and makes us more clear and focused. You will truly radiate health.

We share the full list of the moon's phases and names as well as Grandmother Moon medicine teachings. We invite you to spend time moon gazing especially during full moon events; you will gain wisdom, insight and feel a great deal calmer. Aho!

Moon Phases

Full Moon: Full Moon energy is used for banishing unwanted influences in your life; protection magick; and divination. Planning, releasing, and working backwards in time are done on the full moon as well. It is said the best Full Moon magick can be conjured for seven days: the three days prior to the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon itself, and three days after the Full Moon. Sometimes the results of Full Moon magick can take approximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion. The Full Moon is the time to invoke the Mother Goddess at the height of her glory and to perform the ceremony called "Drawing Down the Moon." During this ceremony the energy and essence of the Full Moon is drawn into oneself, when done properly you will feel a heightened trance state combined with a power surge that radiates through your whole body. Traditionally this is only done within a protective circle. The Mother is the ripeness of womanhood, the boiling pot of Badb which is the richness of life. Her color is red, the color of blood and the life force. The Mother is Summer, the day, lustiness, teacher, The Full Moon.

New Moon: The New Moon is used for personal growth, healing, the blessing of a new project or venture, etc. If done correctly, success should be obtained by the first Full Moon. This is the time when the Crone is transformed into the Maiden. It is a time of renewal and new beginnings. The Maiden is essential to the continuation of all life; her color is white, denoting innocence and newness. She is the springtime, the dawn, eternal youth and vigor, enchantment and seduction, the new and waxing moon.

Dark Moon: The three days before the New Moon is known as the dark of the moon. This is when you can't see the moon at all in the heavens. Traditionally, this is a time when no magick is performed. It is a period to give yourself a break; a time of rest. Deep meditation and vision questing can be performed now, but not for a specific magickal purpose. However, The Crone, or the Dark Mother, rules this time, and if her magick is needed, now is the time when you should use it.

Waxing Moon: The period between the New Moon and the Full Moon is called the Waxing Moon. This is a good time for attraction magick, especially between the New Moon and the First Quarter. The Waxing Moon is the time for invoking the Goddess in her guise of Maiden.

Waning Moon: The period between the Full Moon and the New Moon is called the Waning Moon. This is a time for banishing and rejecting things in our lives that we no longer wish to carry around with us. Negative emotions, bad habits, diseases, and ailments can successfully be banned during this time. During the Waning Moon the Mother Goddess is transformed into the Crone. Invoke Her in this guise. The Crone, or Dark Mother, sometimes called the Hag, has black as her color, the color of darkness where all life rests before rebirth. This aspect of the Goddess is Winter, night, wisdom, counsel, the gateway to death and reincarnation, the Waning Moon.

Common Names for the Year's Full Moons

*WESAK/VESAK FULL MOON - The month of May's full moon is often called the Wesak Moon - the time where the Christ or Buddha Sakyamuni energy or planetary energy can make the greatest shift. Sometimes informally called "Buddha's birthday," it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana , and passing ( Parinirvana ) of Gautama Buddha. This is the time when those energies are closest to the planet and when wishes can manifest more easily. With manifestation comes the need to release old energies., to embrace universal love and compassion, to begin anew and fresh in your daily life through celebration and ceremony.

Have you ever stepped into a doorway and felt you've walked through a threshhold of time and space? Have you ever felt that your nose was an antennae for other dimensions and realms, and that you could easily turn your head and sense (scents) whether you've shifted into another one of these spaces? Have you found yourself doing something 'mundane' like driving to the grocer, walking the dog, and wondered how you got back home because your mind was elsewhere and you were so engrossed in that other space within your mind, that you have a vague recollection of driving or walking home?

Space and time exist to support a structuring (left brain, logical (masculine - to remain consistent with this website's theme), in order to allow for infinite creative possibilities (right brain, unstructured, creative (feminine). When we can keep the left brain/structure flexible and passive to what the outcome will be of the creation our potential streams forth in a great wealth of abundance. Our job here in this site is to help you balance your hemispheres to become whole minded.

Whole-minded equals divine inner marriage equals limitless potentiated creation.— Deidre Madsen

Exercise #1: The Is Not Is

Looking at an ordinary chair, one could define the chair by its shape and design, right?  Well, we believe otherwise.  We understand that the space around the chair - defines the chair.

The space that is the chair is the Is.
The space around the chair is the Is Not.
The connecting point where the chair and the space that is not the chair meet, is called the Is Not Is.

Another way to view this is that the chair Is, the space around the chair Is Not and the two combined is the Is Not Is.  There is no separation really for all things are within the All. The yin/yang symbol represents the same concept. Going a step further, a lightning bolt is the Is or 'Light', the darkness surrounding the lightning bolt is the Is Not or 'dark', and the point at which they meet is the Is Not Is.

If you can imagine expanding that point or thin line between the two (the chair and the space around the chair) you can expand your awareness into the Is Not Is.

The more you focus on the parts around a chair that is not the chair, the more you will begin to sense that those spaces not the chair are actually independent spaces comprising and agreeing to cohabitate the space around a chair, helping to form the reality of a chair.

Expanding the space between things will help you see a much bigger picture, a grander scheme is afoot.  Your ability to expand your awareness into those cracks and crevasses will assist you in seeing the rich diversity of the multiple realities surrounding us.
— Deidre Madsen

The illusion of rigidness and separation of space and time : space and time warps together.The illusion of rigidness and separation of space and time. Space and time are virtually unified. One stretches and the other contracts and vice versa with presence or absence of motion. Thus, they keep the maximum speed in the universe at the speed of light. The following video is taken from the documentary "The Fabric of The Cosmos - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/fabric-of-cosmos.html" for nonprofit educational purposes.

Everything is Conscious

Everything has a specific amount of consciousness. Literally everything. Our own conscious is considered 'light'. Our sub-unconscious is considered to be 'darkness' or 'ego'. Our super-conscious is the balance between the two, the Is Not Is. I believe superconsciousness is enlightenment or a lifting of the veil of illusion or an awakening.

You have the sight now Neo, you are looking at the world without time. — The Oracle in The Matrix

On one hand these concepts appear elusive and abstract; however, if you take a closer look at your surroundings you will begin to understand there is truly an aliveness or life to the spaces between things. Portals, doorways, things of that nature are visible and easy to grasp, more so than the above concept perhaps. One thing is for certain, there is more than meets the conscious eye when examining our 'reality.' This is why I originally chose Jonathan Earl Bowser's "Invariance & Enlightenment" oil painting as my site's original theme, along with my lightning-infused logo. To understand further why I chose this oil painting please continue reading below.

Exercise #2: Mirror, Mirror

In a relaxed state of meditation and mild self-hypnosis, if you focus on the space between things, where things meet one another, then you may also view the space between you and the mirrored image of you as the "space be'tween you and your mirrored image." 

Invariance and Enlightenment

This space has substance and is very much alive, as is the space between the statue and the woman in the photo; the space between the woman and the dove, and so on. Bowser's depiction of a spatial casting in form is the personification of our understanding the machinations of what is be'tween all things. In the oil, the dove is coming and the dove is going. 

This website continues to expand as I grow and expand on in my own ascension. I honor the walk of all on their path and am happy to share my love for the sacred lands, and experiences with you in order that you may benefit along your own way.

When I discovered the beautiful oil painting, a powerful, strong chord was struck within. I heard, "This is YOU, Deidre!" I was spellbound by the magical oil. The deep and mysterious colors drew me into them and there I stood aside and within the goddess, aside and within the statue.

A few months later I received further confirmation; and see with more clarity - my gift of sight has grown exponentially. Oftentimes deep, intense trauma becomes a vehicle for soul growth after (order out of chaos) - and all this occurred right after my house of cards came 'a tumblin' down.

Aside from philosophizing, this oil painting holds mystery and hope with its mists and sun's rays and the far off in the distance light source showing us there is a way out of the magical grove. Do you really wanna go? Hmmm. I like it there... amidst the thick ferns and mist, the bending, mothering tree friends. I feel I will be in that place one day, maybe when I cross over, or visit paying special homage for its role in my life.

When the rays of enlightenment first fell upon ancient Greece - the intellectual foundation of western civilization - a path was shown from the shadows of ignorance and superstition. But those shadows returned to eclipse that fragile light, leaving only a hidden legacy of knowledge. Europe slept for centuries before this classical treasure was rediscovered.

The medieval era was a time when Europe mostly forgot how to remember what it had learned before. Fortunately, that intellectual heritage was preserved by Muslim scholars who never lost their profound admiration for the great minds of classical antiquity; the ancient books, after a thousand-year journey through the Islamic world, eventually found their way again into European hands. In the ages that followed - Renaissance, Reformation, and the Age of Reason (or Enlightenment) - those ancient descriptions of science and philosophy slowly evolved into an idea more powerful than monarchs or nations: modern liberalism.

In three paroxysms of reform, the social revolutions in Britain, France, and America (symbolized here by the red, blue, and white gown - echoing the coloration of the flags of these three nations), released political, scientific, and, eventually, social liberty (the dove) into the light. And yet, even though this liberty has given the West unprecedented freedom and prosperity, genuine enlightenment remains elusive. We yet long for the wisdom that so inscrutably escapes us, and are neither satisfied nor content. Why not?

As the enlightenment (the philosophy that human endeavor should be subject only to a guiding principle of logic and reason, and not to any irrational superstition) continues to drive society’s evolution, we grow increasingly overwhelmed by the bewildering complexities of a perpetually changing world. 20th century modernism has created a society that depends for its existence upon hyper-accelerated growth and development - the commercial imperative of relentless material acquisition. We are instructed - from cradle to grave, in ways obvious and covert - that we can never have enough of our own product and so must possess the newest incarnation of every conceivable object and experience. This is the lure - and snare - of modernity. But perhaps we sometimes seek the safe and simple comfort of things known and familiar, like the woman (a manifestation, or angel, of civilization) who is leaning to the right upon the stable edifice of history. Even while she reaches for the liberalizing light of the left, she rests upon conservative tradition and the past.

This painting depicts what we all hope is the endeavor of civilization: the human quest for wisdom.   It seems that whether we design our social and political structures to the ethereal and subjective left or the material and objective right makes no difference. Societies can be dynamic, constantly redefining themselves in the pursuit of some idealistically defined objective, or static, relying on the well-established precedence of history. Either way, people don’t change much: we feel joy and misery, hope and despair, just as people did 500 - or 5000 - years ago. It is, apparently, easier to reinvent society, than ourselves.

In Raphael’s great painting, The School of Athens, we see a timeless illustration of the problem.   Plato, full of idealistic fervor, gestures heavenward: “The proper aim of all thought is upon the eternal forms of divine mind!” The pragmatic, moderating hand of Aristotle, however, gestures toward the earth: “The proper aim of all action is the here and now.” Idealists, like the cleansing forest fire, clear away the corruption and decay of old growth; but builders, like all new growth, are always fixed upon the practical matters of immediate need. How can either way be the only path? It seems the debate - Plato’s hand or Aristotle’s - will remain with us for some great time

Until individuals, and not just the society around them, change in some fundamental, perhaps biological, way, the realization of our aspirations will never be found in this or that administrative mechanism. Some believe in strength and fear the failure of weakness; some believe in compassion and fear the failure of cruelty. But every child understands that two parents, providing both strength and compassion, provide the greatest benefit. And so, we shall always be in moving shadows and lost in our own vacillating ignorance (the mist), until we abandon the comfortable security of invariance and venture alone through the forbidding labyrinth of the forest darkness - our own unknown and unrealized potential. Enlightenment is not found left or right, but at a distant place, through and beyond the wilderness...

For those of you diehards reading down the page this far and curious about checking us out in the Wayback Machine, I developed 'tween in 1999 during development of a friend's poetry website "Horse of the Sun."  In that process I realized I too needed/wanted an outlet for something inside of me... but what?!  In the days that followed while in meditation suddenly everything clicked into place. I also remembered a book I read when I was a young teen called "Twink" which at the time propelled me into Twink's secret world. What has this to do with 'tween? Sound similarities brought familiarity and fondness, and... Twink lived in the world be'tween for she was sensory handicapped. Her world was similar to Helen Keller's and at the time I was deeply moved by Helen's story and film.

So the name for the original website was born: 'tween. It remained lower case letters from being taken from the word between. 'tween is the place where Twink and Helen Keller live, and from where we can all benefit. 'tween is the magical spaces, the inter dimensional places, and the point at which masks are ripped away. My site continues to guide you, Dear Reader, to... go BE'tween and be BE'tween.

May your ascension path be forever abundantly blessed with the Art of Healing in Light and Love.

Aho!

True power is... what is the answer? Do you know? Some would say money, some would say knowledge, yet still others would say control. The answer lies in your heart.

Many books and articles have been written about power, how to achieve it, attain and keep it, and what to do with it once you get it. Good power vs. bad. Right vs. wrong. Healthy vs. unhealthy. The different layers and levels of power, powering over, under and within. A little known fact: The heart holds the key to true and authentic power.

The way to find the answers in your heart seem at once easy and the most difficult thing you'd ever take on as a human. We are still uncovering so many truths to our existence as these wondrously made individuals that this task seems insurmountable. Coming from a pure esoteric perspective there absolutely are NO WORDS to describe any of this power or miracles we are living. Why do you think there are so many teachers who say almost nothing?! They can't! It's too amazing of a ride. They try tho. Yet, there are no words to describe this magnificence. However, I am going to give it a 'college try' and attempt to bridge this gap for you with my own understanding and experience with pure power, and show you how this is an every day, correction, every moment experience.

First, to be clear, I have observed three categories of realization and main levels of awareness:

• Most people think, on some if not many levels, this whole "living thing" is boring, a waste of time, and very tiresome. They find no meaning in anything anymore. They are in such great despair. They have become cynical in their nature, violent and angry against the world  There are inner reasons for this which stem from a lot of self-worth issues and belief systems, but suffice it to say that the majority of folks just do the daily grind and can't stand it anymore  This perception of love is definitely service-to-self.
• Some people are aware that they are on some sort of a spiritual quest. They go to work and/or school every day just like everybody else but they do things in their off-time a bit differently. They purchase volumes of inspirational material, attend churches, immerse themselves in different religions, and meditate and pray, and so on. It is like they surrounding themselves with so much yet they are still so cut off from the truth of it. They are going through the motions. Sometimes you think you are really getting it and then you are faced with the day-to-day struggles of life and sometimes you fall backwards into category #1 with the majority of people. This perception of love is mostly service-to-self with glimpses of service-to-others trying to peek through the mire
• Few people in the world do know one thing..... true power is love. This is ultimate service-to-others, or... The All That Is. This is the true place of power

How do we get to #3? The best way is through experience. For example, I stepped up my pace on my spiritual path years ago, very intensely and am now well immersed in the beauty of blessings (or power) in my life on a moment-to-moment basis. For most of my life; however, I was in the first level. What happened to me?! Well, a few events catapulted me into this new phase of be-ing; however, overall my life has been a mixture of all three of these categories at once. You could liken my life to my favorite pistachio and orange sherbert ice cream cone.

1. The first layer,most of the ice cream cone is a large scoope of that first layer, the delicious pistachio layer, loaded with lots of nutty people and situations. The first layer encompasses the majority of my life and is a juicy layer I can draw upon to use as a great vehicle for understanding and wisdom. No regrets, no judgment, but chock full of experience; choosing to remain, not the victim of my life's choices, but its volunteer.
2. The second layer is the yummy orange sherbet layer. The yummy orange sherbet is the layer where I do the bulk of my of searching and growing; knowing there is definitely something else going on in the world besides getting up, brushing my teeth and hitting the daily grind. Thankfully!
3. The third layer - the Cherry on Top layer - is the ultimate. It is only when you really realize your own value that you achieve this level. I am not referring to an egomaniac type of self-worth or self-love, but the true love of self which encompasses everything.

What lies beneath all this delectable wonderment as the foundation? Why, none other than the sugar cone base, of course. the shape of the cone's base is  sort of an inverted triangle. Interesting how the Creator has had us create ice cream out of our own image. HA! Think about the significance of this. At least one reason is, it holds up the other three layers, supports and keeps them together. And, its easy to hold in your hand.

Ever since I moved out of the pistachio stage of my life, and moved through the seemingly wonderful orange sherbet stage, I have discovered a great cherry topping truth:  The simplest of all things in life is love.

Be the change you want to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

In the end, I have found that love is the answer. It is so.  In these recent years of my life, I have allowed myself to stay open to all possibilities and the truth of the matter is.... love has come in a myriad of ways including the relationship within one's self.

In order to get to the Cherry Topping you must be open, open, open to all possibilities and opportunities. I once explained this to a dear friend of mine, who is analytical in nature and very pragmatic. I appealed to this side of her be-ing. When we go through the daily grind, every now and again, something "weird" happens like the phone rings and we just know who is on the other line. Hmmm. How did we do that? Synchronicity... we suddenly remember where we have misplaced an item we lost and go to the spot and there it is. We think of someone and they phone us on the spot,...this is called serendipity or synchronicity or sync (for short).

Sync happens all the time around us and is the tip of the iceberg of truth, but its a way to start you to understanding what all the hubbub is about. Sync happens all around us and is a part of who we are.  If we just take the time to stop and see the little "ironies" around us and realize they are not just ironies but truths and ways our spiritual side is trying to get our attention, then we will start to "see" with our inner self. What is sync other than listening to God/YHWH (Holy Spirit/Shekinah/Ruach Ha Kodoish) from within.

We have two eyes and two ears but one mouth.
So, hear (listen) and see (watch) more and
(Shhhh!) keep your mouth (ego) quiet.

What happens when a person starts to "see" things and become self-aware? More and more things begin to occur and you are now exposed to other types of people who just happen to "pop" into your life. The more you remain open, the more opportunities abound; then you are in the orange sherbet stage of life and going full-steam-ahead into the great Cherry Top. This is sort of intermingling the top and middle of the ice cream cone. Some people say that a veil is being lifted at this stage. That is a true statement, too. There are lots of analogies and metaphors used to describe this exciting process.

Let's take a closer look at the word "POWER."  What is power?  n. The act, ability, and presumed authority to wield or exert force and strength. In our discussion of power, we realize that by the time you reach the great Cherry Topping Truth, you know what power truly is. Power is love. And love as we know it is not just a simple often misused word, it is the force or power behind all things seen and unseen. When we realize what it takes to wield such power we then come to ego. For without ego we cannot understand the 'cause and effect' of a thing. With ego; however, we can use wise discernment. There is nothing wrong with ego; I tuck my little ego into bed every night with a goodnight kiss. So, you learn how everything in life is equally important, none more than the other, but at least now you know what to do when your ego starts to cry and whine for a bottle.

How to transcend the ego? Read this powerful excerpt from:

[EXCERPTED FROM HAPPILY INNER AFTER: A GUIDE TO GETTING & KEEPING AMOUR]:

Three Types of Power: Over, Under and Inner

The first type of power is known as powering over or overpowering someone, and typically is tyrannical in nature. Often, tyrants frighten others by using their intense presence and in-your-face aggressive behavior. Tyrants will utilize this power to dominate or overpower situations in order to get what they want. This is known as an external, masculine, and outwardly aggressive power. When a tyrannical man or woman has to control their partner’s every move they are not allowing them to be who they are. Letting a man be a man is oftentimes scary for women and allowing a woman to be a woman terrifies some men; they are so afraid of being cheated on or lied to.

 

The second type of power is called powering under or under powering someone, and is manipulative in nature. An underhanded, manipulative passive-aggressive individual will typically display an innocent, and even nice, external demeanor. However, this type of power will use under-the-table actions and go behind other people’s backs in order to accomplish their desired results. They often use a tremendous amount of guilt inducing tactics on their victims. By doing this, their victims become passive enough to become compliant and simply follow their willful agenda. This is known as an internal, feminine, inner and passively aggressive power.

 

Powering over and powering under are forms of overt and covert control, respectively. This type of control of a person, place or thing always stems from fear. Often, our childhood parental figures evinced either or both types of the powers — powering over and powering under. We inherit patterned behaviors due to conditioning from seeing continuously repeated actions over a number of years.

 

These learned behaviors often make it difficult to build healthy, mutually beneficial relationships with others. Due to our own actions and attitudes, we begin to attract certain situations and events that are consistent with what we are familiar with. The repeating pattern cycle continues until we finally choose to make peace with the fact that we need to change, and heal ourselves by self-correction and self-parenting. This prevents duplicating uncomfortable situations in our individual futures.

 

Our world is a reflection of ourselves. We can gauge our progress by looking at our mirror and comparing what we see there, with where we would like to be our journey to self-improvement. If you were standing in front of a mirror with messy hair, you wouldn’t take your hairbrush and start to brush the reflection you see in the mirror. Rather, you would brush your own hair until you see the reflection in the mirror transform into how you want your hair to appear. However, more often than not I observe people attempting to brush their mirror reflections in a powerless attempt to fix their lives and loves. There are a lot of scratched up mirrors out there.

 

Now the ultimate power is that which comes from within – powering within or inner power. Like the S-curve space between the yin and yang, it is always clear and balanced. That type of power appears in a person who remains strong and solid, yet compassionate and caring. Their ego does not engage defensively. They are not prone to reactive behavior, but instead practice responding to life.

 

It is easy to feel at ease around them. They make everyone feel safe, in the truest sense. These are often the world’s great leaders and healers, gurus and visionaries. They are the sweet, grandmotherly woman next door, who always finds time and energy to lend a helping hand. They are the wise man and sage. Great examples would be Mother Theresa or Indira Gandhi.

 

Our natural happy place is to be in a life of balance. It is wise to pay attention when we are getting out of balance, either powering over or powering under, which is caused by being in the extremes of fear. We live in fearbecause we have lost our center. We cannot find the balance between the hemispheres within our being — that inner calm place. The ways that men and women demonstrate these behaviors are usually different.

 

For example: A man may have been in a past relationship where he dated, or was married to a woman known as a trophy wife. A trophy wife is the epitome of whom some men wish to envision as their divine, beautiful, feminine goddess. Oftentimes, this woman is sitting all alone on a little shelf, where her husband has placed her. Every now and then, her husband will take her down from the shelf, dust her off, and make her all shiny and pretty. Once his attention is diverted away, he replaces her up there again, and goes about his day.

 

The really sad part of this scenario is that the trophy wife isn’t even aware that she is living in a cage. Finally, after possibly years of living like this, she tries to leave the relationship, but she realizes, ‘Oh, my gosh! I have a tether attached to my ankle!’ Even though the cage door is open, she has an invisible leash that tries to prevent her from leaving. The man will desperately hold on to his trophy wife. He doesn’t realize that he is trying to possess the very thing he is missing within his own heart — his own feminine side, or the other half of himself.

 

A woman will often choose someone who starts off exhibiting superhero like qualities, only to browbeat him when he fails her, or falls short of her ever-demanding expectations. That poor man is carrying a huge emotional burden on his shoulders, and may feel trapped by her demands, especially if he is struggling with his self-esteem already.

 

Every woman has to find the knight in shining amourwithin herself first, before she can expect it to manifest in her outer world. Women cannot expect the men to carry the brunt of their needs for them. Ultimately, no man can be all that a woman needs him to be. Every woman must find that amazing go-to guy within themselves — that inner Adonis, who fulfills their wildest dreams.

 

It is the desire for the perfect companion in our lives that causes romance novels to be so popular. Those book covers usually depict a perfectly fit and stunning ‘Fabio’ kissing a gorgeous, half-dressed woman simply because most women yearn for a superhero of their own.

 

The balance of power in relationships regularly shifts between the man being the masculine and the woman being the masculine to the man being the feminine and the woman being the feminine. Finding the balance between these power shifts (and being aware that it is natural to have shifts of power and movement), is a great key to successful relationships.

We now come to the ultimate Cherry Top!  The creme de la creme... we enter our Inner and Outer Divine Marriage. Now that we are in this space.... this great Cherry Topping space... it all comes down to understanding that it isn't enough to love. To simply love is one thing but to love love with a com-passion for loving love, that is where it gets not only confusing but once you figure it out... very exciting. Sure it is important to love the birds, trees, flowers, rocks, water, animals.... but it is not really them that you are loving... what you are loving is love itself. There is an underlying truth of absolute love to everything, it is within every molecule of life, every raindrop, every atom and proton, ever star in space and every baby's coo. It is in the sound of the waves crashing a shoreline or the soft snore of a fuzzy dog or cat in your lap. Yet even at that it is not the thing you are focusing your attention on but the feeling inside of you that is the love in and of itself. I hope I have not completely baffled you altogether.

The glorious process to the top of the ice cream cone comes with great, great rewards and one of them is the reuniting of many people to their "other halves" which takes the little ego down even smaller, so much so that it's possible to tuck it into a pocket at night no longer needing the baby bed.  (Don't laugh, I used to have to provide it its own house with a king-size bed.) The power that comes from this level of love is what all the poets and lyricists in the world write about. This is IT! This is well worth all of it.

Here is the funniest part of this whole story - or ironic part - the ice cream cone has taken on a new form - the Cherry on the top is the largest and most powerful part of the entire confection. The seemingly most difficult part to get to is really the easiest and fullest. Life is now so filled with wonderment and glory, each and every day, I cannot imagine life any differently anymore. Everyone can experience this power.

If you want to view what it looks like from the top of that ice cream cone? Stand on that cherry top. Stand up there where the twinkling stars are. That is where your perspective on life is transformed. That is where the heart of everything is, the cherry reminds me of a big beautiful heart. It is the biggest part of this delicious adventure called LIFE.

"Man has only to know this simple truth consciously, and then he will be free. Spiritual consciousness is both the reason and the summit of human evolution, and its true nature is beyond words. Words are merely invented symbols of human ideation, but spirituality is a wordless and timeless state of eternal beautitide. He who has attained this state of consciousness truly knows that he is a free spirit, as he is truly God. He lives in the eternal realms of spiritual liberation, for he is a liberated soul.  He has risen unto his True Home on the celestial symphony of salvation. This is the true heaven, where freedom and love eternally reign.  Go to that point where you started your journey,"  "...you must complete that task which has been ordained for you. You will again return joyfully to the Abode of Love." - by George Arnsby Jones, The Pilgrimage of James, An Odyssey of Inner Space, Peacehaven.

The next time you are at an Ice Creamery,
order a Cherry for the top... YOU are worth it!

Always and forever growing, learning and loving,

Deidre

A Wedding Day is Special for Many Reasons

Two people who love each other joining into a holy union under the eyes of God is a blessed celebration. During the wedding day, there are many parts of the day that could really touch your heart... but one that not many people think about is the groom. His face when he first sees his bride walking up the aisle is one of the most honest, tender things a person can see.

So check out these 10 grooms below, all completely in the moment & completely in love

Thank you God Vine for putting together this touching tribute to what the man sees... ultimately a reflection of the divine Goddess within himself, her potential.

An Early Experience From a Budding Intuitive

Hello Dear Friends,

The following is a very personal story of one of the early experiences I had as a budding intuitive/psychic. All of the this actually happened - the tragedy, the shock, the wonder, everything. It's my hope that this inspires you to a greater understanding of what I do and how I do it. I am happy to share this delicate story yet please understand that I am carefully sharing this to avoid privacy infringement, so all references, names and location are changed or removed entirely to protect those involved.

How the Story Came to Be

This story occurred some years ago when a friend added my name and email address to the "Healium List"; which is a tongue-in-cheek play on words but the list primarily contained psychics and healers from all over. One day I received an email from a doctor out east who practiced in the western medicine tradition asking those on the Healium List for assistance.

A medical physician had a female patient who was confounding him as well as others in the medical field, specialists and so on. The doctor gave the name of the patient and asked all on the list to check this person out because he was at his wits end and felt like this was his last resort - to turn to the psychic community for insight.

Dear Friends,

        This is Adam Rose writing to request a psychic diagnosis with regard to
Lora O'Terry (32) presently in the hospital of the Medical College.

        Lora is a mother of 4 young children who came here with her husband
just before Christmas after having been ill since April of this year. Her
condition has been deteriorating steadily and the doctors are puzzled.

        My old patent attorney friend in his 80's (from whom I did not expect
this) suggested we seek a psychic diagnosis so I found this list of
healers and sent this message to a number of you in the hopes that one or
more will do some kind of a reading and let us know what your psychic
perceptions might be so we can ask the doctors to check that possibility.

        Some urgency is called for at this time.

        Lora and family are presently on welfare as she has not been able to
work or care for the children for some months but both she and her
husband are very willing, hard workers concerned for the future of our
planet. They are here without charge.

        Our foundation has been working for 30 years on a positive future for
our planet and if you wish to know more about us you can e-mail me, phone
me (We'll call back free in U.S.) or check out our listserv. Below is a
complete list of healers for your information.

        If you know any of those or others and believe they may be especially
helpful in this situation, please forward this message to them.

                Peace and Love, Adam Rose

My Initial Reading and Response

I read the email from Mr. Rose and sat there for a moment wondering if I should help, you see I wasn't exactly strongly into a practice at that point in time and my confidence was slim; yet, something inside of me said I should just do it. So, I did. I sat there, hit REPLY, and began typing.

In my mind, I saw this woman flipping switches off in this private room of hers, which appeared to be a room inside of her and all the switches were her online systems (i.e., endocrine, nervous, etc.). So this is what I wrote him. I said, "Hey, this gal is shutting down everything inside. It's pre-planned, pre-meditated, a conscious choice on her part."Then I felt or "heard" that I should be finding out what the doctors and specialists should do next. For some unexplainable reason the author Dr. Edgar Cayce popped into my mind at this time and I then understood that she was tricking these doctors and giving them a set of false symptoms as a diversion. She was very clever, very prepared and very focused on her intent. I then felt or heard that I should provide information to the doctors themselves. I should get more information as to what the doctors should do about this dilemma with this woman.

Now, it was at this point my own confidence in myself began to really waver, I thought, oh, my gosh I can't be asking this, these are established, licensed medical professionals; they're not going to listen to me, who am I?!? Still, I just couldn't stop the whole process midway; and so resumed typing. I then added in the email that the doctors should begin psychologically tricking her to reveal her true symptoms and then, finally, they could really get at the root of the issues and help her. I signed my name and hit the SEND button, adding a little prayer as it electronically travelled to the doctor.

Dear Mr. Rose,

 

Regarding your patient, Ms. Lora O'Terry, I sense a similarity to riga
mortis settling into her on an deep emotional level. Her mind is
shutting completely down and there feels (to her) as if there is no hope
of returning. This is a deep soul experience, one which she has
carried forward for some time now.

 

How do you work with this patient?

Please consider getting her to see a big picture of herself in such a
way as to throw her off balance, take her by surprise; not in a harmful
way, but a gentle and loving way. This action may send  her system off
balance temporarily, long enough for you to diagnose more
accurately/precisely... for at that time, her body will take over and
repond with more active physical manifestations of her mental paralysis.

Working backward from there  you can then assist her in achieving and
accepting fully "life" over "death". Gentle guidance in the areas of
self love and self ascceptance, no matter how heinous or grave her past
(and past lives)... is advisable as well.

 

Blessings to you and yours for wondrous success!!!

One Week Later

About a week later I received a response from Mr. Rose thanking me but letting me know my reading was off base.

Dear Deidre,

         "Thanks, Deidre, for your concern. Lora is a very loving person with

a very active, caring mind fully intending to get well. Her symptoms are
mainly physical. Serious weakness and weight loss not attributable to
cancer.

                Peace and Love, Adam Rose

I sat there, after reading his short thank-you-but-no-thank-you note, feeling down and disappointed in myself. I thought I had this intuitive gift, this ability to be psychically connected and I thought I had it sort of figured out how to do it. I guess I was wrong. I guess maybe sometimes it doesn't work or something. And so I sighed, let it go and went on with life.

One Month Later

A month later I received another email from that same doctor. I was very surprised and wondered why he wrote. I clicked it open and read the first line and broke down crying. For a while I could not bear to read further. I could hardly move, I was so devastated.

Dear Deidre,

    You may recall the response I sent you to the letter you sent us about

Lora O'Terry. If not, here it is:

    "Thanks, Deidre, for your concern. Lora is a very loving person with

a very active, caring mind fully intending to get well. Her symptoms are

mainly physical. Serious weakness and weight loss not attributable to

cancer.

                       Peace and Love, Adam Rose

    

  As it turns out, on re-reading your diagnosis, it appears that you were
correct. The tragedy was that of some 20 psychics to whom I wrote, only
you said anything like this and so we did not take it seriously enough.
Instead, my response (above) was essentially that you had missed it
entirely. We continued to look at all other avenues of healing even when
Lora was less than fully cooperative.

    She appeared very honest with us and very spiritual, anxious to get well
and loving the kids. But now we know that during that time she and her
man went to a gun store and arranged to purchase a gun apparently for the
purpose of suicide.

    They had to wait at least 7 days and during that time they hid this from
us completely. On the 8th of January, they went to a notary with a letter
asking that their kids should be raised by my wife and I, but they never
discussed that with us at all, and seeing we are not relatives, it will
not be possible.

    On Jan. 10 the oldest child, Aria (10) was on the phone with her
grandfather begging him to come down here to visit her, but he, being
depressed and all that, refused. The family then decided on the 11th to
drive the 2 - 3 hours north of here to where he lived and visit him for a
few days.

    They planned to leave at 10 a.m. but did not actually get away till
5:30.  Before leaving Lora spent several hours with my wife wanting to
straighten things out re. arguments they had six years before and wanting
us to tell them the whole truth about how we felt about them.

    After they left, they went back to the gun store we knew nothing of and
picked up the .38 pistol. We don't yet know all that happend after that
but they did not arrive at the grandfather's house till around midnight.

    At about 4:00 a.m. of the 12th Lora shot Steve three times and then
shot herself to death also. Only Aria (10) woke up and went to see what
happened but did not believe it. Thinking it was a bad dream she went
back to bed and the bodies were not found till 8:00 a.m. next morning, or
at least so we are told.

    We learned nothing of all this until we received a phone call from a
relative of the grandfather's wife and when she told me there was a
murder/suicide, I could not believe it for some time. My wife and I still
find it all hard to relate to.

    On finding and re-reading your letter (below) I realize that had I taken
it seriously at the time we might have tried to do something more. I
don't know if there was any way we could really have prevented the
tragedy. But none of the other psychics gave us a hint of what was
happening. Looking back there were some minor clues but only if we'd put
those together with  your letter would we have gotten a hint. We didn't.

    Now we are trying to relate somehow to the kids who are presently with
relatives of Lora's father near the town where the parents died. Lora's
mother, all the kids grandmother is in town where we are.

    Aria and Sandy (5) are in counseling with a therapist up north. We
have not yet had enough time with either of them to know what they really
feel. Aria knew they had bought a gun, was scared and wanted to call us
but could not. We don't yet know what happened in the hours between
leaving here and getting to the Grandfather's and what actually went on
there. Police are investigating but will give us little information. They
told us of the letter Lora wrote and notarized re. the kids but we've
not yet seen it.

    Who should care for the kids will probably be decided by a court and we
may have no part in that. I feel that we should and could do a lot with
the older kids who might visit here when the see their grandmother in the
city. Aria and my son (15) are good friends, and that might be
helpful to her.

    If you wish to talk with us by phone, let me know and we can arrange
that or you can call anytime.

 

       Peace and love, Adam Rose

 

Dearest Adam,

 

I have been devastated by your email and this tragic outcome. I am so sorry for

this tragedy is worse hearing it from you. Much worse. I am crying so hard I

can hardly type.

 

Your and Lora's family have undergone enormous sorrow. These children will also
need assistance and I will be more than happy to assist you further, in any way.
Remember the mail I wrote regarding past life experiences? These children as well
as yourself and the intertwining of both families, have been happening before. You
however were her father in another experience. That is why you have worked so hard
at loving her in this life, it [the emotion] is drawn very deeply from you.

 

When I received your mail I just broke down crying because I dreaded getting it.

Whatsoever I can do to assist you further, please feel free to contact me. And,
yes, I would love to touch base via phone/land line anytime.

 

Thank you again, Adam, for contacting me with this. I know it was terribly difficult
to write it, let alone live it. My heart aches and goes out for you and your family
and also for Lora's. If you wish, I will also contact Lora to pass messages back
and forth for the girls and for you. Please keep in mind the opportunities are as
limitless as your imagination.

 

Love and peace to you,

Deidre

Follow-Up

Afterwards, the family and the doctor asked me to ask her (on the other side of the veil) what happened; to investigate further whether it was a homicide or suicide. However, by then I received a clear message:  "No," not to do this and to let it go. This was hugely traumatic for everyone involved, including me, to say the least; however, what did happen was that I really began to realize that I did indeed have a gift, a gift of second sight, of intuition, of deep knowing.

A Clear Calling

I began to take myself seriously and wanted to help others despite the potential for this kind of emotional pain and trauma. I began to help locate missing children, pets and so on. And my gifts of helping connect loved ones with their family members and friends (and pets) on the other side also blossomed because of this experience; even though in the case of this female patient I did not cross that boundary or line, my gifts really grew. Maybe I did the right thing, karmically, and these gifts grew because of it.

Today, I have accumulated many true and amazing stories to share of events and occurrences, predictions in relationships, travel and more that come true through my readings. I am eternally grateful for these gifts of the Ruach Ha Kodoish to YHWH, Great Creator, Great Spirit, Wakan Tonka and to my I AM. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May peace come to these families and Lora and her family find the salvation of eternal peace.

Namaste,

How to Not Go Crazy in a Crazy World and Clear the F.E.A.R.

With so many ways for us to be afaid in the world today, like Chicken Little (Henny Penny) 🐔🍂 running around shouting, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling", we have to ask ourselves - do we really need to be afraid?

Is there really something to fear and is fear real? What we know is that fear is false evidence appearing real - F.E.A.R. If this is so, then how do we find a way to remain emotionally balanced even though our country and world are besieged with economic collapse, oil wars, earth changes like global warming (or cooling), chemtrails, terrorism, drug wars, illegal immigrants, the latest "pandemic", and corrupt government systems?

America and the whole world feels like it is in the midst of global mayhem. Watching the negative newscasts practically requires a therapy session afterwards. Believe it or not, we are ALL in the midst of an actual ascension.

How do we handle this in a balanced way and get on with our daily lives of raising a family and working our careers? Are we going to allow this to drive us into deep fear and panic, and worry that terror lurks around every corner? If so, we are really setting our immune systems up with emotions of fear and anger that make us even more susceptible to illness and disease.How do we want to show up in our lives today?

We have to recognize that we have a responsibility to ourselves, our children's children's children, our planet and its beautiful animals, birds and sea creatures. Therefore, I offer some of what I have learned on the basics of ascension (an awakening or enlightened way of being in the world and not of it) to help point the way a bit further for you.

How Do We Find the Truth?

Very much like the famed Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter movie series, we need a proverbial shamanic crystal ball psychic guru in order to sort through the mass of available information. Where do you go and what are you looking for? Well, if you trust your instincts you will end up right where you need to be. How do you use your instincts or sixth sense in your quest for truth? You begin by working from your core.

Are You Searching Within or Without?

When my own ascension fully commenced I was inundated with information in every possible direction. I thought my problem was that I did not know what and who to believe in, trust or have faith in. Well that was the actual problem... I was looking for something outside of myself instead of looking within. 

I used to take my dog to visit a local nursing home, you know, just to connect with the residents and let them meet my dog who was a big brown German Shepherd named Nikki. While there one day I asked an old woman sitting in a wheelchair how she was doing. She replied, "Well, I'm doing okay but I'm trying to figure everything out now. And the problem is that I don't know what is true and what is not true." Her comment rang true. How on earth do we know what is true or not? Even within our own mind, without the influence of so much external stimuli, how do we know? She had a good point. I thought for a moment and remembered what I have been taught myself. I leaned over to her and said, "You will know. You will feel the answer within you. It is in your heart."

Three Clicks and You're Home

When I first learned the concept "always finding home (truth) wherever you are", I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Wow, the truth has been there all along. Three clicks and I'm home. It is so simple. Just like in the movie, "The Wizard of Oz." Dorothy always had the ability to "go back home", she simply had to click her heels three times to do it. And how did she acquire those stunning shoes? Those ruby slippers? That was noooo accident her Kansas house falling on Elphaba's sister, Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East. No it wasn't. (Sometime, if you have a couple hours, watch that movie again and see what Frank L. Baum intuited in his creation of the Wizard of Oz because our fictional movies (and literature) are very telling.)

Remember, to go within and search and feel your heart for the heart holds the key, the heart is the sacred temple, the church within, the Kingdom of Heaven within. Our Sacred Space, the Holy of Holies, lies within each and every one of us. Like Dorothy and her purity of spirit and nature of truth and justice, inner wisdom (i.e., to ask others for help if need be, and to ultimately listen to her own heart), are all messages from our subconscious self.

To further illustrate this point, each additional character within her journey represented an archetypal pattern within her that needed personal care, attention, acknowledgement and healing. The Scarecrow's knowledge (left brain intellect, structure) were what she sought when she wanted to own her own gift of knowledge or left brained grasping of a situation. The Lion's search for courage reminded her of her own need to be brave and face her fears with the nasty neighbor wanting to take away little Toto. The Tin Man's (right hemisphere) quest to discover feelings/emotions through his heart. Even the character of Toto's free spirited romps were Dorothy's inner need to be free and test her own inner (and outer) boundaries (worlds/realms). Dorothy herself discovering her inner knowing (gnosis) and guidance, the Holy Spirit/Ruach ha Kodoish/YHWH from within. Each character in our own life's drama, play and novel all represent an inner archetypal structure playing itself out for us to wake up one day and attend to (paying attention).

Know the Players of the Game - Ascension Awareness

The main categories or levels of Ascension fall into three basic groups of awareness:

• THE AWAKENED - Fully conscious and well into (aka taking action) their ascension
• THE AWAKENING - The veil is thinning, they are nearing their consciousness
• THE UNAWAKENED - Veil? What veil? These folks are still asleep, the fake awake or "woke"; they are not aware there even is a veil (in order to ascend, if it is their divine will to do so at this go 'round, they will be receiving their appropriate triggering)

What is really interesting is discovering those you think are awake are actually sleeping and vice versa. In other words, sometimes the very least possible enlightened person is probably the most enlightened of all. So, never judge a book by its cover. How can we work with this? Have you noticed there are people in the world who are totally into one type of religious organization or another? Or perhaps they follow a traditional religion like some of the Christian religions? Or they are totally into Paganism? Religious/spiritual organizations attract all three of those groups listed above.

What about those of us that seemingly follow many paths at once, i.e., Pagan, Christ based, nature based, Native American, and Celtic? All rolled into one? What about those folks who are totally into and resonate with UFOs and ETs and star systems like Orion or Pleiades, Andromedan or Arcturus? I think there is even a "Who's Who in the Universe" website that lists all types of known extraterrestrials and ultraterrestrials. What about those folks who believe they are "walk-ins" or "starseeds"? Where do all these players fit in?

The lists of players comes from an understanding of what happened long ago and there are many websites that have the answers. Use your intuition and wisdom to seek the  best sources of information for in-depth identifying information on the aforementioned. Now, let's break down these three categories even more...

Properties of an Ascending Anatomy/Form

Did you know there are three different basic properties that make up an ascending form/body? There are and once you understand this, things will make a whole lot more sense.

We are basically a mixture of these properties within our beings. We are magnetic, electric, and radioactive. The original humans however are like Mother Earth, purely magnetic. With the incorporation of so much electrical and radioactive signatures upon Mother Earth of late, we magnetic humans have incorporated all three aspects within. Radionuclides are found in nature all around us; in the air, water and earth's rich soil. Radionuclides are even found in human beings which we produce naturally because of our environment.

When you begin your search, you may discover you are drawn to various entities, star systems, crystals, totem animals, Angels or deities; you will begin to realize it all boils down to ancestry. What our ancestors did, who they were, where they came from, all play a part in our DNA. Within a magnetic humans' structure lies the opportunity to become crystalline in nature once again - to ascend in the carbon (physical) body. In order to do this we must transmute and release karmic ancestral history (ours or otherwise) within this life as well as within our ancestors' lives (even if we are adopted!). When this release commences, this gives our ascension a big, big boost.

Now, however, if you primarily resonate with electric-based beings, then you will ascend but will be sent to that particular star system or planet to do so. Likewise if you are a radioactive-based human. All will ascend in their own time. And if only a handful of magnetic humans ascend, the whole of the world's magnetic humans and ancestors will be in their glorious company and will experience it concurrently. Marvelous. We are the Many and the One...... we are the first and the last of our ancestral lineage therefore we must heal our lineage... because it is also us.

How to Not Be a Judge of Others

Now that you have an idea of the differences within us, can you see how difficult it is to judge someone? The only way I can explain this is by citing a personal example.

For twelve years, I was married to someone who is very electric by nature. I didn't know this at the time. I was very naive, young and unaware. Although the relationship suffered from numerous other issues revolving around both our self-worth, self-honoring, and self-love, issues we could have worked through in time, the basic elements to the marriage were not copacetic from the relationship's onset. In other words, we were not compatible. How well do you think mixing an electric being with a magnetic being will work?

When looking back at the drama of my life, its roller-coaster ups and downs, I can safely say that those events and people were there as divine guides and guideposts along my ascension path. And I can honor each and every experience, with an open and loving heart.

Where is the fear now? 'Gone with the Schwinn!'  It's history because I cannot judge what other people do to move along their own path, be it electric, magnetic or radioactive. Judgment is replaced with compassion - quite freeing.

Getting in Touch With Your Ancestry

Have you noticed you gravitate toward a certain type of path in your life, perhaps a specific type of industry or career, a certain type of partner, aesthetic or place to live? Everything our ancestors have lived is hardwired into our DNA's storehouse of information. (Oftentimes this rich history pops up and we can get confused as to whether this is a personal past life of ours.)

Whatever our ancestors choices, good or bad, they are imprinted upon us through the red thread lineage of our DNA. Therefore, the sins of our ancestors are visited upon us for seven generations. As the new energies increase, allowing Mother Earth her own complete ascension, we all feel the her throes like childbirth and can experience them in grace or in pain. 

When Jesus walked the earth more than 2000 years ago, his message was to forgive. Forgiveness is an essential ingredient to our ascension. We must openly forgive our ancestors their atrocities as well as forgive our own. In so doing, we mark the path more clearly toward our ascension process; thus paving a clearer way for our ancestors as well.

Forgiveness Lights the Path with Compassion

When in prayer or meditation or whatever form you go within, focus on your ancestry. Look for the clues or synchronicities throughout the day, or your dreamtime, for these clues will assist you greatly. State to our Heavenly Father your intent to release your ancestors' karma, your own karma, as well as karma that has been bestowed upon you that is not yours to own. Forgiveness lights the path with compassion. And, what is Karma? The cause and effect (boomerang) of choice, good or bad.

Where 'o Where Is My God?

"Be Still and Know that I AM God" God is within all things. On January 3, 2000, my veil was lifted. I saw and knew. In the knowing I experienced the truth about God. First and foremost, there is no separation. If you fall into step with people who separate God from man, then you begin to believe not in yourself but in a separate entity altogether. 

God made man out of his own likeness. God instilled in man a divine spark of himself. How then can we look outside of ourselves for God? Once you accept that all things are within, fully and completely, then you can feel the grandness of God and know that you are truly a divine being.

What is the "Return of the Christ" and How Does it Affect Me?

The Return of the King

Notice I didn't say 'when'?! Interpretations of the Bible claim that "Jesus is coming" to rid the world of evil. Many religious organizations teach that there will be a return of the Messiah in human form and we are to diligently look for him, wait for him. The return of Jesus is imminent!!! We will never know the hour of His return. However, many of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation (and other books of the Bible) are coming to pass, thus His return must be soon.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. - Philippians 4:13

Additionally, Christ is already en route in the form of the return of Christ which has already begun. We have the potential to be a living human form of the Christ consciousness or a compassionate awareness of inner Light. It is an embracing of God within. Jesus said, "All these things you can do, and more". He wasn't kidding. Our potential, once we realize our divinity, is His humble way of saying "You guys are awesome! You just don't re-member. And when you do... watch out world! " When we stop looking outside of ourselves for a someone to rescue us perpetuating victim behavior, and look within to find that saving grace, we will see the fullness of God within. Christ is within. The Kingdom of Heaven is within. The Holy Spirit's strength and wisdom are a breath away.

"Be Still and Know that I AM God" by repeating this phrase as a mantra, this can effect our sense of peace, our purpose, our well-being. We can then come from a state of unconditional love for all; like "Ohm-ing" whereby we are brought back to our natural frequency of balance. Until Christ's imminent return in the physical, prior to that we must be like Little Christs.

Back to Basics

In order to regroup, we must reground ourselves. Unplugging/silencing the computer, laptop, phone and TV is a great start. Take long walks and get out with nature and relish the glory of our planet; the wonderful miraculous animals and beauty of Mother Earth. In this time of mass confusion and overwhelming media stimuli, many are finding that experiencing nature and grounding ourselves within her, is all we need do in order to feel the fullness within. We experience her beauty and we know ourselves. We will once again feel ourselves as integral parts of the whole, and with forgiveness and compassion we shine brightly like stars filled with unconditional love.  

I believe these ascension basics will be helpful to those who are searching. These are truths that have resonated with me for some time now. A reoccurring theme in this article and website is to get back to yourself, trust yourself, know your heart, listen to the still voice within. Energy/chi is power with which we all are gifted from our True Source/YHWH/Creator/Father in Heaven. Staying centered, focused and clear will keep you from being effected by others attempting to negatively work out their karma with you or stealing your energy/chi. It is essential that centeredness and heart connection be your main focus. With these wonderful tools you will be well on your ascension path.

I bid you peace.

Namaste,

Dear Friends Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Cualli Netlācatilizpan, Joyeux Noël, Happy Holidays, Mele Kalikimaka, Happy Kwanzaa, Geseënde Kersfees, Glædelig Jul, Frohe Weihnachten, Buon Natale, Sheng Dan Kuai Le, Καλά Χριστούγεννα, Shubho Bôṛodin, Meri Kurisumasu, Nollaig Shona Dhuit, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Hannukah, Il-Milied it-Tajjeb, Счастливого рождества!, Milad Bayramınız Mübarək and Nizhonigo Keshmish,

I remember when I was very small, sitting next to the tree on a quiet night. The house of five kids and two parents and a dog was surprisingly still. Mom was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner and I was a very little, wide-eyed girl. I remember staring into the depths of our six-foot fresh scotch pine tree, carefully adorned with all our famiy's favorite decorations. We had hand-placed silver tinsel strands, candy canes, large colored lights, colored glass ornaments and our family ornaments, like the one with the "angel's hair in the round silver cage". Beneath, lay our manger scene and tiny flocked trees on a bed of soft "snow." I felt a wash of peaceful calm flow over me as I gazed into the tree's depths. The memory is strong and my heart grows very full when I think about that simpler time of my life.

As I look back I realize the depth of my little child's mind and how my curiosity, over time, brought me to these understandings. From a historic perspective we understand how much of our Christmas traditions stem from the church as well as from ancient teachings, yet there is an even deeper meaning often overlooked.

The Christmas Tree

"As above, so below", an indigenous phrase for what the heaven's show us we can experience here on earth.

A sort of top down/bottom up 'axis mundi' perspective (from the Hebrew Sephirot: Mayyimto Malkut - many heavens to our roots) mystery.

Our chakra system's roots immersed in a (red) bowl of water to the star-studded crown (halo).

The Tree of Life as the foundation of this Christmas Tree's crown (Kether) of another tree above it, seeing limitless trees and limitless possibilities. We notice the arms and limbs reaching outward in all directions also representing the myriad "trees" of the Holy Sephira Trees of Life reaching out like our own fingers and toes, reaching to touch the hand of God.

Santa Claus

Now you may be surprised to hear this but Santa Claus (or St. Nicholas) holds a great spiritual significance for us as this beloved icon is a direct representation of God within our own lives. When a small child writes his or her Christmas wish list to Santa asking for their favorite toy; whatever it is, be it a bicycle, dolly or train set, they know beyond a shadow of a doubt as they write this list that they will receive this gift from Santa Claus simply because they asked for it. They know with certainty, come Christmas morning when they run to the living room where the tree stands shining and tall, underneath its fragrant boughs, their little dolly will be waiting for them or their bicycle donned with a pretty red bow and so on. Then follows resounding squeals of delight (i.e., ahhh, further confirmation of their innate trust in "the System's ability to deliver the goods").

We as parents do know a thing or two about Santa and therefore we guffaw and say, "Yeah, right but I'm Santa, that child just thinks it's some mystical imaginary person from the North Pole." Truly, however, there is a mystical truth in the innocence and unfailing trusting abilities of a child's power to wish certain things into existence. All it takes is to BELIEVE.

Breaking out of the influence of our parent's inner circle. From birth until modification from or release from the influence of their parent's inner circles' (the tribe's) strong influence (a very important work in one day becoming sovereign individuals), children naturally have a greater understanding of the natural order of things, the laws of the universe. Therefore, it's a natural progression that children just inherently know that they will receive whatever they ask for and it will appear under the tree on Christmas morning.

 Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Like the Wizard of Oz working away behind the great green curtain, parents work tirelessly behind the scenes wrapping presents late at night, stringing lights and hanging ornaments and getting everything in order so our children have a magical and beautiful Christmas. And, we believe we are helping make beautiful Christmas memories for our child; however, the underlying message of truth is simply reminding ourselves, every single year, of the real truth; the truth that we too can simply ask God/Creator for whatever we want and just know/believe that we will receive it.

We reenact this scenario every year at the same cosmic (cycle) time as a constant unending reminder. When we "lose the Spirit of Christmas" its due to the fact that we have lost the effectiveness of refreshing our higher cosmic (truth) memory as Sons and Daughters of the Divine and Wise Father and Divine Mother (Mrs. Claus) and that is why the long-standing films about people such as Ebenezer Scrooge are so popular; they act as reinforcement of the ultimate and inherent good in everyone, that God-spark within.

Three wise men and their gifts. The trinitized power of the three wise men (star systems, beings of Light) return bearing gifts (frankincense, myrrh and gold - significant in this combination) to assist us in our lower to higher transcendence (birth-death-birth cycle) back to our God-selves/I AM/Source.

Hidden messages in a children's Christmas song. Let's take a partial look at the lyrics from Santa Claus is Coming to Town:

Oh, you better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
He's making a list, And checking it twice, Gonna find out whose, Naughty or Nice, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake, He knows when you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sakes.

These lyrics suggests a higher power (aka someone who can wield enough power to make our dreams come true, read as Mom, Dad, God?!) can inherently and mystically know what we are doing at all times, even when we are sleeping. Why would this individual power source Santa-being want to, or need to, know what we are doing while we are sleeping? Perhaps it has something to do with what occurs when we are sleeping. 'Sleeping' represents our subconscious; where the deeper truth of who we are exists. We cannot hide from our subconscious. We may think we are masking, concealing or camouflaging ourselves in day-to-day activities as we keep busy with work. Often, we fool ourselves by scurrying to and from organizational functions in which we simply must involve ourselves. Justification after justification of what we think we need to be doing in our lives. However, all along we are really running from our subconscious need to be loved, and loved deeply. So the true nature of a deity or higher power has the ability to see through our façade to the real version. By using balanced and fair discernment, they are able to assess whether we have been 'good or bad' (aka positive or negative, light or lesser light), and respond in kind - read as, karma.

We are advised not to enter into a negative state (Fear not! - let's instead rejoice) over the fact that "Santa" is coming to town, to see us. And we had better prepare. Santa has a list with our name on it. Could this be a representation of God or Creator in our lives? God, the all knowing being who knows each of us by name, who has our names written in the Book of Life?

And, then we see that it is recommended that we behave. Well, all parents want their children to behave. Is this a veiled threat within these lyrics? Coersion? Perhaps it is not so much a threat as it is a strong suggestion because, in the end, good always overcomes over evil. Besides, the higher power seems to have a crystal ball looking into our future and sees how things will turn out in the end.

Lump of Coal. And, then there's the lump of coal. A lump of coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. So the story goes that if we misbehave, then we will receive a lump of coal in our stocking on Christmas morning. What exactly is misbehaving anyway? Let's back up for a sec, my understanding of 'sin' is 'lack of flow' or 'not allowing flow' i.e., 'not allowing our light to shine, or being in the divine state of flow and light.' So, if this axiom is true then the lump of coal is a vital reminder of the potential to are to be reminded that our main objective is to TRUST and have FAITH (ye, have faith as of a little child). In the end we transcend from carbon-based matter energy into silica (crystal)-based energy patterns of Light. Let us all be reminded of our need to transcend from a carbon based (fear based) into our inherent birthright of a higher Light being of silica crystalline form and Adam Kadmon structure.

To end, let the children believe, they will teach us all. May the Star on your Christmas Tree be the Light that lights your way, your path.

Festive Factoids

Christmas is celebrated on 25 December, as it is the first day after the solstice ('sun stands still') that the longer day length can be measured ie, the 'birth' of the sun/birth of the Son. Most religions have some celebration of rebirth of the light on 25 December; it is not unique to Christianity.

The twelve days of Christmas are holy days.They can be seen to symbolize the journey around the zodiac, through every sign on the ecliptic, one day per sign, the Fool's journey from birth towards enlightenment, which is when you have an 'epiphany'. Epiphany is celebrated on the twelfth day, which was the day that the three magi arrived, carrying sacred gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, all three very precious materials used in the embalming process, and symbolic of gaining enlightenment and wisdom. This symbolism also connects to the Fool's journey around the 22 cards of the higher arcana of the Tarot.

Winter Solstice and St. Lucia

God Jul With Love and Honor to All My Danish, Viking and Svenska Friends,

When I first heard of this story, I fell in love with the idea of the beautiful saintly Lucia. Before dawn on December 13, "Little Yule," the eldest daughter of a Scandinavian household arises and sets a wreath of greenery upon her head to which are anchored several candles. With these all ablaze in the pre-dawn dimness she walks the corridors, calling on each bedroom with a gift of hot coffee, lussekatter ("Lucy kats," yeast rolls) and gingerbread. She is the Lucia bruden, the Lucia Bride, Saint Lucy.

Lucia exhibits traits of many ancient goddesses. She is almost certainly a face of Freya, "Mistress of Cat," whose special season was Yule and who was dedicated to the dispensing of wealth and plenty. The Norse sun-goddess Sunna, whose emblem is the fiery wheel, is also present in St. Lucy, and the Italian midwife goddess of "first light," Juno Lucina, may have lent her name to this bright figure.

More than anything, Lucia is the Lightbringer, the Child of Light who appears mysteriously out of the darkest night with hope and sustenance for all. Source

Watch this beautiful video showing the celebration and enjoy this angelic song.

Merry Christmas,

I could feel her love even tho I was so far away ❦ Deidre came into my life when I was very hopeless and depressed due to two miscarriages I had. To this point I thought I might never be able to have my own children. I wondered why this happened to me and why it happened twice. She really took the time to help me and look deep within the family history or should I better say the problems in our family -- going way back into my great-grandmothers life -- and everything she said was true. I started to understand why there were those problems and why those things have happened to me. She was very kind and gentle. I could feel her love even though I was so far away -- this helped me so much. She also sent me a healing and I really felt the energy going into my body. I knew for certain that now I am healed and able to have children which I so much longed for. Those miscarriages truly broke my heart and Deidre really gave me my faith back. I am now a mom of an 8 month old son. : ) Deidre is a wonderful person. Yes truly an Angel God has sent to me back then. I will be forever grateful for her help. Thank you so much. - Simone Graser, Germany		It was reassurance... things are okay ❦ "Sometimes, everything can be overwhelming. You are still a responsible member of a society, paying tax, receiving pay-checks, while sought after by voices of the nature, it is overwhelming. In those days, you tend to forget that no matter how hard and impossible your life may seem, in the end, the Universe is all about forgiving. You were forgiven from the very beginning, but you just simply cannot realize that when there's too much on the to-do-list.   You forget that you can believe people. You forget that at the core, you are very good, and that you are now just a little agitatated, if you can't be generous to others as you wish you could. Those are the times you might want to get in touch with Deidre. For me, it was reassurance. After having talked with Deidre, I could tell myself that things are okay, it has always been okay, the leaves are singing and the sky is blue, and we are all vibrating, transforming, including you and me, filled with love and joy. Hope you get to see that, recall that as well, if you feel like you are confused and lost." - Aika, journalist
Your life will never be the same ❦ Dear Deidre, I am still flying from my work with you. The sessions I did were both life changing for me. They were vital to my spiritual growth. You are blessings in this universe, and I feel so fortunate to have them share their healing and guidance. Your life will never be the same once you have a session with them. My spirit is soaring with the ravens! - Tina McCarty, Tuscon, AZ		Finally-hope in a desperate situation ❦ Hi Deidre, Thank you for all of your support, guidance and I came across a miracle over the past couple of days... so thank you so much for helping me. I am doing a milion times better. For the first time in over a year and a half I finally feel like I have some hope in all this desparate situation which is like unbelievable and you definitely helped me get there so thank you.  - R.G., L.A.
Totally divine and helpful ❦ Dearest Deidre, How honored I am to have received such a beautiful reading from you! How totally divine and helpful it was/is for me on my journey. What a wonderful gift you have of seeing and receiving information for others! Thank you so much for your talent. I thank you, your guides, my guides and all guides involved in our session. Much love and light to you. - Karen Olson-Leonard KarenOlson.com		Working thru childhood issues towards self-empowerment ❦ Intuitive Reading yesterday.  It was really great to talk with you.  I realized a lot of things during our conversation that I needed to work on. Thank you for helping me to see that I needed to take charge and "say what I needed to say" for me. A lot of my suspicions arise from my childhood. I also know that I need to work thru this to get to the other side. Thank you for your supportive and calming session as I know it has already helped me.  You are a blessing to your clients. Thank you again! - Rhonda J
You really uplifted me... shed light on many different issues ❦  Dearest Deidre, Thanks so much for spending time with me yesterday and for being so incredibly insightful! You are a beautiful, amazing lady and I really feel that our paths will be crossing again in the near future - for a higher purpose. Yesterday was just the beginning. All I feel that I want to say is "thank you" - you really uplifted me yesterday and shed light on many different issues. You made a huge difference in my life and I wish you health, happiness, wealth, peace and everything else you with yourself.  "I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people." - Maya Angelou I am so grateful that you came into my life and have lit it up in so many ways. You are really are a beautiful, special person and I am so happy to be part of your "Sister Circle". I love being part of your family. Thanks always for everything.  "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." - Maya Angelou You are generous with your time, your talents, and your self... Thank You for sharing your gifts with the world. This really describes "you". You are so very, very special. Thanks always for all your advice, time, support, blessings and love.  Lots of Love, Michelle M., Newport Beach, CA		The degree of correlation of your insight is truly amazing... you were batting between 850 and 1000 ❦ DearDeidre ... Thanks again for helping us with my wife's spiritual journey. The degree of correlation of your insight into her past lives with the karma in her present one is truly amazing. To use a sports analogy, I'd say you were batting between 850 and 1000.The audio tapes generated during the session indicate amazing levels of insight gained during the session. The increasing levels of detail in the insights was also very impressive. When she was spaced out from being in a state of comatose in the ICU in January, she was concerned about the following appliances: refrigerator, washer, and dryer, which seems to correlate with the Egyptian laborer lifetime insights. She said that she "needed 3D", which we later figured out was that she needed more space when the family was crowding around her bed, another correlation with one of your insights. Her strength of character, compassion, practicality, and sense of fair play all correlate well with the Nun lifetime insights. In my opinion, your emphasis on "being" vs "doing"  goals are very appropriate for her at this time. - Warm regards. A Happy Husband, Tuscon, AZ
I am totally amazed with Deidre and her intuitive abilities ❦ On August 29, 2012 I had my first intuitive reading with Deidre. I have been waiting a while for my answer on my divorce ruling I decided to ask her during the reading. My question was when would I have my answer. She first said 14 came up but then number four was stronger. So she said 4 weeks was the answer. I received my divorce ruling on September 26, 2012 exactly 4 weeks from the time of my reading and the date the divorce ruling was signed with September 14, 2012. I am totally amazed with Deidre and her intuitive abilities. I can't wait to see what happens with the other time frames she provided to me on my other questions. - Trin		Most accurate of any intuitive ❦ I had an Intuitive Reading with Deidre... her reading has proven the most accurate of any intuitive I've encountered so far. I'm still in awe of how accurate things you spoke of have unfolded for me. It's weird how what's been happening to me lately is so intertwined with what you saw in the reading. Many Blessings, Elaine OhmElainOhm.com
She immediately was so "on" about what was going on with me and extremely helpful ❦ Deidre is one of the most intuitive, wonderful, giving and spiritually special people I have ever met. From the minute I met her and I did my first Reading with her she immediately was so "on" about what was going on with me and extremely helpful.Every time I interact with Deidre I leave with such a beautiful feeling of peace, calm and tranquility in my inner being. I have referred many people to her and as I tell each one of them "she is truly a gift to all of us." - Michelle M., Newport Beach, CA		With Deidre I could help my deceased mother with her transition in the afterlife ❦ I felt an immediate bond. I learned through my session with Deidre that I could help my deceased mother with her transition in the afterlife with some very specific work on behalf of myself and my seven siblings. I also learned that a tumultuous and painful relationship from which I was emerging at that time was, in fact, the Divine counterpart to a very spiritual and unusually gifted relationship with my twin flame whom I would be meeting in approximately 8-12 months. I also felt strongly the awareness of positive results for my mother when they were realized by her. I then met my wonderful man, 9-1/2 months later, unexpectedly, as I was focusing, as instructed, on other areas of my life. He is all I ever dreamed of. Thank you, Deidre, for holding this mirror up for me so that I could see more clearly where best to focus my energies. than you, most importantly, for encouraging me to stay on my path and to stay faithful. I have tried my best, and been rewarded beyond hopes. Please keep up your selfless giving work, and encourage others like me to stay their courses and believe. - Very Best Regards, Mary, Phoenix, AZ

Orienting Our Consciousness to the Flow of Creation

Also See: [Video] Imminent Cataclysm and the Plan to Survive the Great Reset by Greg Reese ReeseReport.com WHERE THE PREDICTION FOR THE END OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR IS 2046! In order to understand what is coming it is critical to read the following. It will explain what to do and how to be during the upcoming shift. Be ready. Be aware.

Beloved Dear Friends,

Ian Xel Lungold, along with Dr. Carl Calleman, have had a great privilege and honor to work with Mayan Shamen for years. He has researched, investigated and unearthed great secrets of the Mayan people's calendar. The Maya have been measuring Creation's flow, rate, and intention for the last 16,400,000,000 years. The end of their calendral year was... OCTOBER 28, 2011... not 2012. Or, now set to 2046. And, it is also not the end in the way many perceive it to be. Following is an email message I have sent to many friends after I attended Ian's very first seminar. These are my notes taken from that seminar. For more info go to Ian's website MayanMajix.com.

Deidre

Hold onto your hats.

We are in the time of the colossal "Shift Happens".

This is a very good thing, right?

Along with things that appear to be bad comes a plethora of GOOD.

How do we prepare?

How do we align with the new cosmic energies?

In order to understand what to do we must briefly review the following transcript from Ian Xel Lungold's lecture which holds the keys to navigating through this amazing time on the planet.

[1/15/1999 | Ian Xel Lungold | Sedona]

• THE GALACTIC CONSCIOUSNESS CYCLE: On 1/5/99 began the Galactic Consciousness Cycle which lasts for 12.8 years - the Ethics Cycle. We have just left the Power Cycle that lasted 256 years. We will watch Ethics overcome Power in our lifetime.
• YEAR 2002-2003: Getting the truth - ethics going in at this time. That's where the real big stuff will come forth into the open.
• WE ARE NOW IN THE "UNIVERSAL CYCLE"  THE LAST CYCLE:  The Last Cycle starts 2/10/2011... the Universal Cycle!!! We're going to a special place.
• WHAT IS THE LAST DAY OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR:  10/28/2011 The Mayan Calendar... All cycles come to a HALT. AND THIS MAY BE THE 2046 TIMELINE NOW.
  
• IS TIME SPEEDING UP:  Seems like time is speeding up?! No... CREATION is speeding up!
• WHAT IS THE OBSTACLE:  We have one hurdle to overcome... THE MIND (a tool) Don't think you are your mind! Use it as a tool, an instrument.
• The mind's natural speed limit or 'flicker frequency' is 33 frames per second (identifies similarity or difference between something). Nowadays, more data is pouring in. The minddoesn't have as much time to process things, but has an override mechanism to help it cope with the influx of more and more data.

What Are Our Mind's Overriding Mechanisms?

• Stress - Walk away response. There is an epidemic of this stress; this gives you a clue as to what is a comin'!
• Fight or Flight is another overriding mechanism where adrenaline pumps thru you massively, examples are road rage, terrorism, desk rage!?!, etc.
• Unconsciousness (mother of all addictions) - People have a desire to remain unconscious via drugs, alcohol, suicide, overeating, you name it.

Our mind is not built for speed - creation is going too fast/faster/fastest
We are going outside our mind or... out of our mind - Ian Xel Lungold

• WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP:  Intuition! The source of our personal power. Time and Place create our personal intent. A point in 'time' where things ARE.
• WHAT ARE WE MOVING AWAY FROM:  We are moving away from this in the flow of creation toward intuition where the time and place become only... now
• WHAT IS THE GUIDEPOST:  The Mayan calendar (birthdate) provides our orientation to our personal intent and our personal participation in the divine plan... you know you're doing the divine plan when all feels "heavenly" (guidepost).
• WHAT IS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR:  Orientation. The main purpose, or key point, of the Mayan Calendar is to orient our consciousness to the flow of creation.

WHY ARE WE EXPERIENCING WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW:   In the past what we had to choose from for goal options:

• PAST:  In our past, our goal options amounted to the following example: See a circle with a few lines (options) running through it for our choosing. Not very much stimulus to pick from, eh? But …
• PRESENT:  Now, in the present time, we have more options to choose from, right? You can liken the example of the circle now to that of the spokes on a bicycle; many more options with which to choose. These options are what enter our view point, what happens all around us; what our mind lands upon and identifies the thing/object/idea/stimulus as either a similarity or a difference.
• FUTURE:  Our future is going to be more extreme. Our future will have WAY MORE options to choose from, miracles will come! We are going to need immune system help BIG TIME! WHAT WILL THE FUTURE'S CIRCLE LOOK LIKE? WHAT WILL OUR VIEWING STIMULUS LOOK LIKE BY 10/28/2011? So now at the end of the Mayan calendar... 10/28/2011... Imagine a circle, it is blank inside except for one single word... ALL.

ALL OF CREATION WILL BE INSIDE THIS CIRCLE
ALL OF CREATION WILL BE IN THE MOMENT
ALL OF CREATION WILL BE IN THE MOMENT CREATING, CREATING, CREATING!
All OF CREATION HAPPENS AT ONCE! (OUR OBSERVANCE OF IT)
All creation presents itself in ONE MOMENT.
No need for space OR time anymore.
It will be a WHOLE NEW GAME!
- Ian Xel Lungold

THE KEY:

FIND PURE ORDER WITHIN PURE CHAOS

HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR THIS, WHAT DO WE DO NOW:  Notice. Notice patterns and predictability especially patterns regarding ethics, and... BE CENTERED BE CERTAIN.

HOW DO WE BE CENTERED AND CERTAIN:  When you can recognize patterns you will become CERTAIN and; therefore, will achieve a sense of peace of mind or piece of mind... centeredness.

The Maya split things up into days and nights... all correlating to our years/months all the way to 10/28/11.

We are now (have been actually) heading into Truth bigly.

It will be spilling forth like nobody's business.

And so will earth changes in the coming few years.

All our institutions, mega corporations, everything that holds the energy of money/power in the controlling sense, will be thrown off the gameboard.

I encourage you to investigate his findings for yourself.

Remember we must stay centered.

To be centered we must be certain.

To be certain we must look for patterns.

[FIND PURE ORDER WITHIN PURE CHAOS]

Patterns recognized bring certainty.

Certainty brings centeredness.

Centeredness brings Peace of Mind!

We are here now at the true beginning of our world as we've envisioned.

Welcome to the Evolution!

Aho and Ose Shalom!

The Medicine & Messages of Gemstones & Crystals

Crystals and Gemstones are storehouses of energy!From early on our ancestors understood the need for the powerful healing properties and symbology of gemstones and crystals. They were found being worn on the breastplates of high priests in the holy temples and adorned the body in headdresses and ornamental jewelry. Crystals and gemstones are wonderful and powerful healing tools because of what science calls their 'piezoelectric effect' (i.e., modern quartz watches).

Crystals and gemstones respond to the electricity that is coursing through our body, and if the energy is sluggish, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and stimulate these energies plus protect from harmful EMF frequencies. The inherent beauty of crystals and gemstones further assists us in discovering our own inherent beauty as gemstones and crystals are living beings of true service to humanity and the world.

It is my hope that some of the information that follows in this little guide assists you in understanding why you may be attracted to one gemstone over another. Take time in meditation to sit quietly with a favorite stone and allow it to share its sweet message to your soul. Remember to charge and cleanse your crystals.

Namaste!
Deidre

On a very cold and wintery December 8th, in the lobby of the beautiful and historic Collinsville Memorial Public Library, Deidre Madsen held her first official book signing of her AWARD-WINNING Happily Inner After, which was a huge success. The library was celebrating its 100th birthday. Ms. Madsen donated copies of her book to the Library in support of their centennial birthday celebration. This was an especially significant event in that this was also her hometown. She had fond memories of this library as a child and was extremely proud to have been a part of their 100th celebration.

WE ARE BECOMING A GALACTIC CIVILIZATION!

WELCOME TO THE GREAT AWAKENING | In case you hadn't noticed, everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING IS ASCENDING. We are awakening at a rapid rate due to the 100th Monkey Effect. As Source Energy Beings, we are coming out of a deep inner reflection of self-evaluation and self-discovery and emerging into great awareness. The great awakening on all levels ushers in the time of extreme spirituality. How are you affected by the great awakening?

HUMANITY IS AWAKENING & EXPANDING IN THREE DISTINCT SPACE/TIMES SIMULTANEOUSLY

WHAT IS AFFECTED BY THIS COMPLETE AWAKENING? EVERYTHING!

Spiritual, religion, family, interpersonal relationships, government, politics, news coverage, television, film, books, music, the arts, computer technology, school systems, healthcare, borders and boundaries, communication, science, quantum thinking, Einstein's theory, technology, psychological, psychotronics, our personal dreams and goals, and much, much more.

Globally, a growing audible angry outcry surges for a new path to be forged shouting that the old patterns of world domination through fear and violence DO NOT WORK. The old guard is dying. Their ways have been self-serving couched in service to others; they never worked for the higher good of man or the planet. Masses are waking to the ruse. We are experiencing a deep welling of sadness and frustration that comes with this outcry for something different; we realize we cannot continue in this old way another minute. It brings to mind the definition of insanity is when we do the same thing over and over again expecting to get a different outcome.

We are at a point where the suffering of the world's people, especially the innocents, and its natural biological systems cannot continue on in these insane thousand-year-old practices which are finally recognized by real leaders of the world as passe, outmoded, outdated and archaic. Things are changing.

In this grand experiment, as Source Energy Beings we are to finally evolve past the Type 0 Civilization barbarism to the harmonious Type 1 Civilization

According to the Kardashev scale the difference between a Type 0 civilization and a Type 1 civilization is that a Type 0 does not harness all of the energy output of its planet. This type of civilization is still in the process of transitioning from costly electricity to free energy systems and, for example, taking advantage of the limitless fossil fuels and limitless sources of primary water. A Type 1 is sustainable, it harnesses and stores all of the energy from its home planet and works to harness off-world planets.

Additionally, a Type 1 represents a harmonious and holistic approach to preserving all life after emerging from its zoo-like ethos. We are very close to becoming a Type 1 civilization being evaluated as somewhere between .07 - .08 on the scale.

THE TEETHING PHASE

With every phase of our lives, we undergo challenging learning curves, a sort of Bell Curve of a new intake of information and knowledge. Along with this fantastical time of teething we experience it either negatively and struggling or positively and buoyant with a heady feeling that is being awakened within the human body; a feeling of power and potential, yet with a new level of ethics from the past Mayan cycle lessons, our power is far more controlled as we hold ourselves more and more accountable and responsible, which in turn takes us to greater and higher levels of potential.

Much more of our personal potential is available to us both mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually; therefore, we must remain vigilant and responsible. We are not given the opportunity to ascend to a Type 1 Civilization without being able to carry out the responsibility.

Responsibility today is a four-letter word to many who wish not to have any responsibility but allow governmental systems, or other hero types, for support. Let's face it, adulting is hard, challenging and difficult. It's time to grow up as a civilization. Take back the responsibility we've given to others and do the right thing for the good of others. As mature adults or stewards of the land, we must learn from the past with an eye toward making a better future in service to others. We must take care and remain alert for patterns that reveal what we have learned as it comes into the light of conscious. This can be a physically challenging time where we see the repercussions (or rewards) of 'exercising our new-found laurels,' and woe be to those who stand in the way of these 4D creations in the form of a sort of instant Karma experience.

Just as the Mayan calendar predicted, since December 28, 2011,
where the timelines collapsed, all is happening at once.

EVALUATING OUR HEROES

In the time of TicTok, Zoom, YouTube and live streaming to virtually every platform; reality shows that were once the rage have given way for everyone's personal 15 minutes of fame affording us worldwide face-to-face access. Everyone can now become a star of their own production, their own life's superhero, with the switch of their webcam or phonecam. Today, there is a renaissance coming in this façet of today's 'heroes' alone.

We now know that the heroes of the past, those placed on high mountain cliffs, pedestals, monetary notes, etc., have their grand place in history to be sure; however, are far removed from our day-to-day connection with life. Though not to be cancelled or scrubbed from our past; historical figures and events are there as reminders for us to either learn from our past so as not to repeat, or to emulate their positive behavior and gain valuable takeaways.

A farmer needed a hole dug in his field. He prayed to God to help him. He waited, propping himself up on a shovel. Nothing happened. He waited all day. He asked God at the end of the day why he didn't deliver. God said, "I gave you a shovel!"

THE HEROS OF TODAY MUST BE OURSELVES

We are the ones we have been waiting for all along. We ❤️ Underdog stories because they REMIND US OF WHO WE ARE.

THE UNDERDOG SUPERHERO | Citing just a few fictional and non-fictional examples of underdog superhero stories:

• Harry James Potter had to figure it out in Prisoner of Azkaban by creating a Pratonus Charm against the Dementors
• Rocky Balboa became an all-American boxing hero by coming from behind and defeating Apollo Creed
• The legend of the mere 300 Spartans taking on and miraculously defeating the great Persian army of 300,000
• President Donald John Trump was a total underdog in the U.S. presidential elections when he quashed the Democratic rivals
• King David James Archuleta had to figure it out quickly during the Philistine battle and conquer Goliath
• Noach ben Lamech and his family were ridiculed mercilessly for building the Ark
• Jesus of Nazareth the beloved Christ and Messiah had to step into the ultimate role

There are many more fictional stories of underdog stories including Forrest Gump, Pursuit of Happyness, School of Rock, and Iqbal and non-fictional historical from the Bible, Sports, etc. As an instant gratification/visual society we are able to view each person (that chooses to step up) as a hero. The obstacles and terrific odds they overcome in their daily lives we might look at with a sense of awe-struck wonder, and like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, on Christmas morning, our hearts grow three sizes larger, underdog stories supply us with the inspirational guidance to be-come more 'human', an irony to be sure (for in the reaching for our human-ness we become more God-like - our truer nature).

In Compassion's beautiful healing we see the great many around us who suddenly and with heart wrenching emotions, become our everyday heroes including and especially ourselves. The amazing stories of everyday heroes offer up an important and key element in the future survival of humankind and that key element or component is compassion. From this comes the revelation that will become one of the spearheading focuses for the upcoming renaissance period, a period of peace and harmony. We are in the midst of a building up of the energy that will support this as an undercurrent of higher potential as old archaic systems fall away.

WHAT IS TO COME FOR A TYPE 1 CIVILIZATION? EXTREME SPIRITUAL LEADS TO EXTREME SCIENTIFIC

We are in for a wild and amazing ride. These new waves of spiritual gifts (gifts from the beyond (or Spiritual Gifts from the Holy Spirit/Ruach Ha Kodoish/Great Spirit/Shekinah) will be supported and in fact fueled by our growing levels of compassion, and the mere fact of our species natural higher intelligence which will bring about tremendous scientific breakthroughs in many areas of science and technology with far reaching discoveries in space travel, free energy, quantum physics, scientific research, archaeological findings, Web 3.0, quantum financial systems (QFS), quantum thinking, and consciousness soul evolution. Great new discoveries that take us further into the multi- and parallel-universes are already being realized and recorded. And what a time to be alive!

We will begin to give birth to, or help others realize greater more esoteric/metaspiritual gifts or talents (naturally inherent to our genetic programming, yet for the most part laying dormant until awakened) that will be part of a surge of excitement that begins to grow in the collective consciousness of humanity. Here we will begin to see greater amounts of individuals with phenomenal extrasensory gifts of perception, precognition like never before, teleportation, hands-on or absentia healings en mass, and so on.

HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO EARTH CHANGES AS THEY ARE TODAY?

Q. Is it possible that we as a species realize at some point that we are truly the heroes (masters, avatars, etc.) that we only dream or write about, that epic movies and great films are testaments to (i.e., our higher potentiality) and, in that discovery (on a grand scale) do we come together in greater focus and ability to miraculously change the world? A. Yes, this is our future reality AND IT IS HAPPENING NOW!

Once again our outer world is a reflection of our inner world and we must do our inner clean-up of the emotional issues and blocks we so adhere to and run away from. It is a dedicated work to be sure and is one that many people do not focus enough on; it's when we solely focus on helping the planet, helping something outside of ourselves, that is when we get out of balance with ourselves and the world. However, once we are ready to take a deeper look inside and begin to heal those areas of our lives, we will free up valuable inner space and be even more ready and open to making way for the greater Light and the gifts of the Divine.

Remember, we have had the power to overcome all along; just as Dorothy discovered in the Wizard of Oz, we too are waking up to real-eyes we we have been wearing the magical ruby slippers all along; and this time we will use them, ethically! We protect our sovereign divine Light of the soul/spirit connection with the Divine Father in Heaven; our God-given right as sons and daughters of the Most High.

Away will the old religions go where the belief that our true power elsewhere to the exclusion of ourselves. Away will the systems of the old guard of go. We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, the wayshowers and futurists of our past, that we must lay the ethical, right-relationship groundwork for everyone to follow so that a solid and everlasting framework be laid and even set in motion and be modeled by our actions.

Let those who hear the music of the spheres come forward and open the sacred geometries within our divine genetic lineage coding, our Merkabah vehicle, to bring forth the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that we may heal ourselves, each other, all the innocents, and our jewel of a planet.

Let the hero in you, reading this now, be ready, set, go - for the moment to step forward and claim your true birthright and be the change you want to see in the world!

Aho and Ose Shalom!

Excerpt

Once upon a time, I dreamed of having it all — the perfect life, husband, home and beautiful family. Like an idyllic Norman Rockwell painting meets Pleasantville. I wanted my own private happily ever after.

Acculturated by fairy tale fantasies most of our lives, many women like me have dreamed of our someday handsome prince within a halcyon, tranquil vision of our dreams coming true.

If you have tried to find and keep the love of your life to no avail, the mission of Happily Inner After is to not only help you to that love, but to have fun along the way. If you are ready to take the next significant step towards attracting your Mr. Right, or strengthening the existing relationship with your loved one, then take back the power in your life and watch miracles happen. Show me the way! Take me to love!

The Spark of a Magical Moment

Dear Friends,

Have you ever seen the look on a groom's face when he sees his beautiful bride for the first time? This is exactly what the experience of Happily Inner After creates; something magical and powerful.  I see this in the faces of my clients every single time. I guess that's why I love sharing this work with everyone. It's within that moment that I feel privileged to witness in my sessions. It's like trying to capture a dew drop before it forms on a leaf. Elusive, yet so very real when it is discovered deep in a misty forest morning. That's this work and that is why it feels sometimes like I have to use a thousand words to explain the inexplicable. Thus, I deem this work... experiential with the Divine. Enjoy the ride!

Many Blessings,

Deidre

How to use Transformational Guided Imagery (TGI) to heal dis-ease with ease through the lucid right-brain of the inner divine feminine

Transformational Guided Imagery (TGI) is one of the most under-utilized tools for self healing as in lucid daytime dreaming. Today you will learn of it's power and potential for each one of us to heal our bodies. It occurred to me... how can I go about sharing all this great Transformational Guided Imagery information and wisdom? By sharing a personal experience using TGI. In this article I will share an intense experience that relates to each and every woman. I share this not to tell you how to do your own healing but to give you an avenue of creative expression in healing.

My family has a risk of ovarian cancer and for years I have been battling a feeling of pain in that general area. Dowsing and muscle testing (kineseology) showed I indeed had issues in that area. In order to correct this I knew I needed to do several things to realign my body/mind/spirit back to health. In addition to eating properly, incorporating some exercise I have worked extensively with my own imagery work in order to facilitate inner healing. The following experience was dramatically healing using active lucid meditatin or lucid visualization. This involves decisions we women make every day. It will touch your soul.

Session Notes

To begin my session, I induced light self-hypnosis and went into a sacred center space within. I called forth my inner physician and asked him to accompany me to my ovaries because they were throbbing with tiny bouts of pain and I wanted to address them face-to-face. We quickly traveled down through my body and arrived at my ovaries. I looked to my right ovary (the one creating the most attention) and saw that it was aflame, sad and in pain. After reviewing my left ovary I discovered it needed attention as well. Suddenly, a heart-shaped tin of soothing, healing salve appeared before me. I took the salve and began rubbing it on the exterior of my right ovary, noticing it beginning to calm down and appear normal again. Repeating this process on my left ovary, I decided to rub salve along my fallopian tubes as well.

At this point, however, it became clear that this was not going to be enough to heal the long-standing issues I knew were hiding somewhere within. So I went inside the fallopian tubes. While inside I rubbed more salve as I went. I came to the end of the right tube and just before the opening of the right ovary I found two doors; a green one on the right and red one on the left. My goal was to enter my ovary so I ignored the doors for the time being and went to go inside the ovary. Standing at the lip of the tube I looked out to see an ocean of stars and night sky stretching limitlessly. This was the interior of my ovary? I thought, how was I going to rub this salve all over the inside of this space? Impossible. Perhaps I was suppose to enter the doors first after all. So I did.

Deciding on the green door on the right, I lifted it's submarine-like shape and dropped down inside a small pitch-black room. The door closed above me and I stood in the dark recognizing I was standing on what felt like a cement floor. My senses surmised a narrow and short room. I illuminated the space by sending light from my body into the space and discovered the room was about a football-field in length. Long, shallow and narrow it was heaped with countless piles of unwanted babies' skeletal remains. I was mortified at the sight.

I heard and felt a message come that said I was responsible for all these children and that they were mine. For every time I used a form of birth control (i.e., pill, iud, condom, etc.) and during every intercourse every unwanted child was then hid in this space. Also, every aborted and rejected child. And, every thought form created of aborting children were I to get pregnant, all these were here too. Also, this included every single lifetime. This was not limited to this lifetime alone. And it carried through my female lineage being responsible for every single woman through my mother's mother's mother and so on.

I had to take responsibility for each and every life's choices and decisions - good or bad. I broke down bawling my eyes out; sobs coming in waves of pain as I saw these creations I had made swept away under an inner rug (in this case a tiny room off my right fallopian tube). After a while my sobs gave way to my inner resolve. I knew I had to heal this now.

I opened up a portal in the roof of this room. Immediately a column of golden white Christ light came down into the room, lined with awaiting beautiful angels. I called forth a transmuting violet flame to take the babies back to God/dess and asked for forgiveness. One by one the babies reformed themselves into flesh and blood and right before they went up into the light they each had me promise to share this message. This process took quite some time. Afterwards I healed and sealed the room for good. Going back out into the hallway/tube space I walked over and opened the red door.

Utilizing active lucid meditation or lucid visualization, we can achieve
what science and medicine would only hope to emulate...
instant time-space transcendent physical healing.
Merging east-west and above-below principles
this is not only possible, it is our birthright.

Immediately, I was plunged downward into a soft billowy space, this was a tube of pink all around and light emanated everywhere. I could hear angels singing, children and babies laughing, I could feel the positive energies all around. I landed on a soft pale blue silky cushioned room and floated out into a wide open space in the sky where I saw all the babies that had just come out of the other room now in their beautiful little angelic forms. They were healthy and new and were so happy. They turned to see me and said, "We want our own puppy or kitty to play with."  I gave each their choice of a puppy or kitty which made them all so happy. I stood there watching them with fresh tears running their course down my face, this time; however, for joy and not sorrow.

Each baby carried an individual dominant aura color... pink, blue, lavender, yellow, etc.... and played and laughed. My angelic dog, Nikki, was there too, running around with the babies playing and overseeing everything. My inner child was also there joyfully waving her little magic wand and dancing among the happy babies. Amid this all there were beloved angels all over the place overseeing the entire event.

Suddenly, a group of dolphins appeared out of nowhere and I stood nose-to-nose with the center dolphin. The remainder emanated outwards on a horizontal plane from the point of the one, they stretched to the left and the right to form a huge triangle shape. They numbered in the several thousands.  After a moment of acknowledgement, they turned and went to the babies, allowing themselves to be climbed onto, they took their laughing little charges away to swim and fly in the air on their backs.

Conclusion and Thoughts

After this my body's pains ceased altogether. Further testing showed dramatic improvement in the energy of this place. I know my work is not finished but this was a tremendous healing which showed that through creative visualization you can heal, and that you can achieve great inner peace and harmony. The power of the divine feminine is here now on earth to assist us in taking back our female power... not in the masculine sense, but in the sense of complete responsibility for our every action in this lifetime and others.

We all must heal our lineage because we ARE our lineage.
Loop time/space from the moment where you are in your lineage right NOW
and you will discover that you are also at the very beginning of your lineage.
You are the ALPHA Α and the OMEGA Ω.
It is therefore up to each and every one of us to follow the
Divine example set forth and step boldly forth into OMEGA minus!

Utilizing active lucid meditation or lucid visualization, we can achieve what science and medicine would only hope to emulate... instant time-space transcendent physical healing. Merging east-west and above-below principles this is not only possible, it is our birthright.

Aho and Namaste Brothers and Sisters.
