JANUARY 2003
 
Letter from the associate editor
 

When resolutions fail… round up the usual suspects

Is disaster imminent, or are we verging on ascension? We are at the beginning of another new year, 2003. The pundits and predictors tell us that it will be a monumental time. I wonder, is that because it is the year 2003, or have we simply evolved, migrated, developed to a state where cosmic forces are aligned to shake us up a bit?

NEW YEAR'S RE-SOLUTIONS
by Deborah Rozman, Ph.D.

As we approach the New Year and reflect on what we want to change in ourselves, let’s not forget to reflect on the emotional parts of our self. These too are areas that need clearing of old clutter. Old emotional habits that keep us in an internal state of chaos. more

EGO - THE OWNER'S MANUAL
by Lisa Gutowski

The ego is with us from birth, it is the self, the instinct to survive, the desire by which we discover our uniqueness. It is from the ego that fear based defense mechanisms arise. Whether we choose to respond to the stimulus before us in love or fear, it is reinforced by repeated use.

SPIRALING TO HIGHER GROUND
By Laura V. Hyde

Just the other day, as I was hiking a nearby mountain, I began accessing some thoughts and feelings that unbeknownst to me, were creating a heaviness within my heart. Like old boxes tucked away in the depths of a closet, I had pushed these feelings away and blocked their presence. more

DEALING WITH THE CHANGING TIMES
by Billlie Angel

The vibrational energy that surrounds the world and each of those upon it is in the process of changing from the male Energy back to the female Energy. This leaves people feeling unsettled, uneasy and sometimes uncomfortable, no longer knowing their exact role. more

THE FAT SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH
by Linda Johnson

As you ascend in vibration, your non-physical bodies, gridwork and lightbody will expand. Eventually this will happen in the physical too. What does this mean? You will start to put on weight. If you don't realise you are ascending you will be putting on weight for no apparent reason.

SOUND HEALING:
Part 1 - An Overview

BY JONATHAN GOLDMAN

Sound healing, as the name implies, is the use of sound to create balance and alignment in: the physical body, the energy centers called "chakras", and/or the etheric fields. The sound may be applied by an instrument or by the human voice. Sound Healing is a vibrational therapy and can be understood as being energy medicine.


THE IMAGINE NATION -
PART 3

BY DANIEL JACOB

Jesus said: “Unless ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” I am inclined to agree with him on that. But even that is beside my point here. The “Imagine Nation” is a society built on Oneness, and an appreciation for our infinite collective diversity. It doesn’t place kids at the center of things. Rather, it is designed to even the playing field so that natural giftedness can move forward at whatever age it appears. Some of the principles discussed will have great meaning in regards to our senior citizens, as well.

THE TOLTEC WAY: Part 2 - How to Let Go of Guilt and Learn to Forgive
BY THEUN MARES

Guilt is probably one of the most debilitating and negative emotions there is – one that can, and often does, destroy a person’s life. But if we want to live happy lives, we need to deal with the consequences of our past actions and move on, rather than allowing our lives to be wracked with guilt.

CALL TO SERVICE TO THE EARTH: A Channeling from Sananda - Part 4
BY LOIS HARTWICK

Many of you may feel you are living in a loving world, but most of you have understood by now how many things seem to have gone astray from what you clearly saw or believed was reality before you. For some, there is enormous discouragement in your hearts that these higher consciousnesses or awarenesses have not taken hold fully; that enormous discrepancy exists in the way life is perceived or what one grabs hold of and what one chooses to maintain or even create on this planet.


THE UNVEILING: Adult Transition from Indigo to Crystal/Octarine
BY SUNFELL

The life of the Indigo can seem to be unduly difficult at times, given the inborn eccentricities and sensitivities of this particular type of person. Today's children have it much worse than the children of 30-50 years ago, as they are more closely watched, and much more likely to be 'diagnosed' with various ailments - both real, and culturally acceptable. Eccentricity, independence and 'spiritedness' are not a welcome trait in today's child, and the toxic environment that today's kids are born into makes overcoming the congenital difficulties imprinted into them by the environment even more difficult.

A COURSE IN CRYSTALS - Discovering the special qualities of quartz crystals
BY JOYSPRITE - The Crystal Lady

One of my first really special crystals was one that I found on the internet at a site owned by Stuart Schmitt of The Sweet Surrender Crystal Mine. I had seen a very handsome looking manifestation quartz among the many pictures on his site and called to ask about it. It had gone, he said, but he had just dug up a half pound Dow crystal that he thought might be just the ticket for me. It was $55 bucks, and normally I am skeptical about buying something like this, sight unseen, but I heard myself say yes, please send it.


MORE LETTERS TO SHARYL
BY SHARYL JACKSON

Dear Readers:

I just love it when you find us and write to tell us about your personal experiences with the children, especially when you have suggestions for others to make their lives a bit easier. Following is one such letter which really touched me deeply. This woman uses both the practical, earthy tools and the more “airy fairy” ones

LIVES OF THE RICH & INFAMOUS - RICHARD GERE
BY CHETAN PARKYN

Someone who had a profound effect on the world through a deliberate statement made on one of the most watched programs televised to the world, is Richard Gere. On the occasion of the Academy Awards Oscar show in 1993, he commented on, and decried the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Most likely, Richard Gere was aware of the personal difficulties he would face in terms of his career as a result of his bold comments.

THE MOVIE MYSTIC
BY STEPHEN SIMON

"Far From Heaven" is a miraculous, beautiful, original, haunting, provocative, and extraordinary film - and that may be the understatement of the year.

Set in 1957, the film is shot as though it was actually MADE in 1957. Gorgeous technicolor techniques have been utilized, the film score is evocative of that decade, and the entire creative team lovingly created a 1950's look that is dazzling to behold. If you've never seen the leaves turn in New England in the Fall, this film is awfully close to being there.

TURN UP YOUR LIGHT - Managing & Sequencing Intention
BY MARIANNE WEIDLEIN

With Managing and Sequencing Intention, you begin by emptying your mind of all your personal and professional everyday activities and special projects; then organize them into a time sequence that upholds your stability and integrity. It is called a CPM - Critical Path Method, and utilizing a CPM is like tuning your life like a Rolls Royce engine: You can feel a Rolls moving down the street, but you can't hear it, unless you listen closely enough to hear its purr.

RECLAIMING PERSONAL POWER: PART 9 - Know Thyself!
BY TYS DAMMEYER

In this final installment of the series, I would like to introduce you to a philosophy developed by the late Dr. John Whitman Ray, founder of the discipline of Body Electronics. I have found his scale of emotions and his concept of “resistance” most helpful in my process of uncovering unconscious programming and knowing myself. Our emotions can be seen as the energy forces that power our lives. The top of the “scale of emotions” as presented by John Whitman Ray is enthusiasm, also known as unconditional love.

MAKE WHATCHA WANT
BY ALAN COHEN

As we enter this new year, we all want to change our lives for the better. The question is, how? There are two ways you can change your life: (1) Change your conditions; and (2) Change your mind. Sometimes you can change your conditions. Always you can change your mind. Ultimately, mastering your mind yields far more success and reward than rearranging conditions. Perhaps you have heard about the fellow who was losing coins out of a hole in his pocket, so he went out and got a second job to replace the coins. He didn’t realize how much more helpful it would have been to simply sew the hole!

BOWEN TOUCH: The Gentle TouchThat Produces Miracles
BY GERRI SHAPIRO

Tom Bowen was a gifted natural healer from Australia. Late in life he discovered he had an unusual gift that allowed him to intuitively know what was ailing people and how to help them relieve their pain. His healing technique is unique in that it was developed without him having had any previous medical or healthcare training. He claimed he could feel tiny vibrations in people’s muscles that helped him find the exact location to work on. He spoke of his skill with great humility and frequently stated that his work was “simply a gift from God.”

PLANETARY CYCLES - January 2003 Astrology
BY CAROLINA EASTWOOD-PARKYN

As we celebrate the coming of the New Year, 2003, we are also most likely reviewing the last year for glimpses of meaning, lessons learned, and experiences to be remembered. The New Year truly begins as the sun enters Capricorn at the Winter Solstice on December 21, which marks a “still point” in time, and the shortest day of the year.

Exclusive Book Excerpts

SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGS
Insights of the Near-Death Experience & Other Doorways to the Soul
- Chapter 10: Spiritual Sexuality
BY BARBARA HARRIS WHITFIELD

This chapter is not only about sex; it’s also about spirituality and commune-ication in psychologically mature intimate relationships. It’s about spiritual beings having a human experience. Originally, I became aware of a shift in attitude and experience in sex when I started lecturing. Women confided after my talks that they’d had some kind of spiritual awakening and then experienced what can be summed up as Divine Energy shared in lovemaking. Or their spiritual awakening happened during lovemaking and was preceded by this rush of energy.
