WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR!

Last night I got to thinking about how far we've come in the past twelve months. Isn't it amazing how fast things can change? Living arrangements, work situations, transportation, marital status, family members, pets... all come and go in what seems like the blink of an eye. And that's just the personal arena!

Every month, I putter away at the keyboard, assembling PlanetLightworker for you. As I've said before, it decides its own contents... we don't ask for any particular topic from our authors. So, each month, I get to watch a theme emerge and I get to see what lies uppermost in the energy matrix of this great planet.

For January, 2008, that matrix expresses itself with gentleness and a reminder of the fluidity of all things... and the immediacy of our interactions. Our words and thoughts and deeds carry real weight - right NOW. We do well to recall that the energy we visit upon another, we visit upon our Selves.

Where were YOU a year ago? Where would you like to be a year from now? More than ever, we hold the ability to make those changes. Remember the fluidity and the gentleness... and be alert to your own energy.

Have you ever been sailing? I've been just once... here's what I learned: keep your knees bent, roll with the movement, and keep a hand free for you, so you can catch yourself when things suddenly shift ('cuz they will).

Wishing you grace and balance in the coming year,
Vara

TREE OF LIFE
By ANNAMARIA HEMMINGWAY

When my mother became terminally ill a few years ago, I was devastated. Even though I had worked in hospice and knew that rather than being a morbid place full of fear, it was in fact the most beautiful peaceful environment, in which the sanctity of transition from this world was a very profound experience...

THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS
By JIM YOUNG

After bandaging my throbbing knees and giving my aching head a bit of comfort with a ready-made ice pack, we began afresh on our downward trek with only my badly bruised ego still to attend to. Disgust with myself began to rear its head again, and I heard this little voice inside me, that often saves me from myself, say: Let yourself see how a pack mule would traverse this steep decline. Obedient to the command, I asked for the vision...

LIQUID CONSCIOUSNESS
By DOUGLAS WEBSTER

Imagine, if you will, a sea of thought-form-bubbles merging together as a veritable ocean of over 6.8 billion spheres of awareness. This undulating sea of potentiality is the total summation of all human endeavor each seeking to merge with itself as it responds to the tidal shifts of seasonal changes and turmoil from storm surges created by high and low pressure centers. Only a mere 7% are self-aware to whatever degree, but an amount that is sufficient to drive the mass by the mere veracity of directed intention of these few...

THE ONE CLOSEST TO YOU
Channeled by CAROLYN ANN O'RILEY

Just when you think that you can take no more invert your head to the heavens and ask for the strength to continue. Place your hands on your Solar Plexus and bow your head, in mental communication with your Creator, say I Am releasing to you NOW, My Creator, I Am releasing to you NOW, My Creator, I Am releasing to you NOW, My Creator. So it is, My Divine Beings Of Light. A blanket of unconditional love will spiritually descend...

FORGIVENESS
By ANGELA COLLEEN

Forgiveness is an act of kindness that we may extend to ourselves or another. Yet it may be one of the hardest lessons we have to learn, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. It requires great strength, understanding, compassion and patience. It is a state of complete acceptance...

BEACONS OF LIGHT
BY THE GROUP,
AS CHANNELED BY STEVE ROTHER

January '07:
The Human Condtion, Part 1 of 2

When a spirit enters a bubble of biology and activates a veil to keep them from re-membering, they still have memories of Home. Over time, if these memories are not reinforced, the memories fade to the back of consciousness. Sometimes they are only left in the cellular memories which are your souls imprint on the physical body. It is at this point that a soul starts to actually believe that they are a human. This is a serious ailment of the soul that we call the human condition.
 


LIFTING YOUR VEIL, January '08:
Strategic Alliances

BY LISA RENEE

Happy and blessed New Year! This first column of the New Year contains some current planetary events as well as a discussion of the Annual Energetic Theme for our planet's experience in 2008. The over-lighting theme for this coming year will be living and breathing our soul's full "Luminosity of the Heart", as we delve into the higher consciousness expression of the Nineteenth Portal known as "The Sun" in classic Tarot (this will be detailed towards the end of the article)...
 


PLANETVISIONS:
Karmascape, January '08
BY MARK KRUEGER

You are on the edge of oblivion. We all are. You are no longer the self that you knew. You are you, your being, your own consciousness. All the rest is a dream, high and low, in and out. The Dream is now upwelling 26,000 years worth of encrusted karmic stories and archetypal shadow bits... like there's no tomorrow. The End Times, and all its variations on extinction, are now in full noise. Oblivion is here. It's Leap Year. Like it or not, you are going to leap...
 


LIGHT BEHIND BARS:
Soul Blossoming, January '08

BY TOM BROWN

We've all had the experience of labeling someone and then seeing that person from a critical perspective. Recently, a fellow inmate was moved into the prison dormitory who spoke with a loud and abrasive manner. I found myself judging him from his speech. Then, during a two-week period when I was without a television, he brought his to me and cheerfully declared, "Here, you watch mine for awhile." After that, his voice seemed softer...
 




FROM THE HEART:
Dogs Know Heart

BY ALAN COHEN

I like to think that people are at least as smart as dogs, and something inside each of us recognizes and respects wisdom, beauty, and authentic love. When you are connected to higher power, doors open in miraculous ways. I saw a video of Mother Teresa on a mission to rescue a group of children from a children's hospital in war-torn Beirut. Although factions were shooting at each other...


HEAVENLETTERS™:
January '08

BY GLORIA WENDROFF

You love that the Unknown exists. You treasure the Unknown. In comparison, the Known seems like small potatoes. I want to tell you that all is known and you already know it. It is not so much a question of discovery for you as it is of remembrance. It is like the name of someone you know, and, for a while, you simply can't think of the name...


THE CONTEMPORARY BODHISATTVA:
The Beauty of Patience

BY SUZANNE MATTHIESSEN

One of the many things I love about the Bodhicharyavatara is the amount of emphasis Shantideva places upon the virtue of patience (or ksanti in Sanskrit). Traveling with our friend Patience as a constant spiritual companion is one of the most challenging for many to get comfortable with...
 



New Series!
SEASONS OF THE SOUL:
A Path To Freedom

BY KATHLEEN JACOBY

The illusion is that we have freedom to do and be whatever we want, but in truth, there is enslavement to systems, families, tribes, etc. etc. UNTIL we recognize the earth for what it is... reform school, penal colony... whatever type of description that speaks of attraction/sorrow. For it was attraction that drew us...

META-PHYSICIAN ON CALL:
Why Do We Feel Sick?

BY STEVEN HODES, M.D.

Have we become a nation of hypochondriacs? No! Not really. Our confusion is real. Our discomfort is real. Our pains and insomnia are real. We are not faking, or deluding ourselves or others. The ache in our heart and soul is palpable. We are suffering from a sense of detachment and discontinuity...
 


New Series! DREAMS AND INTERPRETATION, Part 1

BY ATHENE RAEFIEL

Using our dreams can aid us in understanding different elements of our lives and ourselves. With the world around us continuing to rev up its pace, requiring more and more of our time, things such as sleep and dreaming are sacrificed. Many people discover that they are just too tired...
 


EARTHTALK
BY THE EDITORS OF E/THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGAZINE

Also providing contact information at the end of each column you are invited to research topics further if you wish. Check out the questions addressed in our JANUARY article...
 


THE META-HUMAN PROTOTYPE, Part 2

BY DANIEL JACOB

Those of us who are beginning to manifest various traits and characteristics of Meta-Human Beingness are referred to as "Test Pilots." Like curious Dr. Jekylls, we get to a point in life where we become willing to drink the secret potion that will begin showing us what we've been "Hyde-ing" from ourselves all along...
 


SPIRITUALLY INTELLIGENT LEADERSHIP

BY WILLIAM DIEDRICH

You are a spiritual being. Spiritual identification has you detaching from the roles you play and allowing the Presence to express through you. When you come to this powerful place you lead well. You don't have to worry about what to say or what to do. You are an instrument...
 




LIFE LESSON #5:
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
BY JENNIFER READ HAWTHORN, JACK CANFIELD AND MARK VICTOR HANSEN

Humans tend to be creatures of habit. We like our routines, and often our lives run in well-worn grooves. Of course, there is nothing wrong with indulging in the familiar; it provides a sense of order and security in our lives. But a life of routine can also become predictable and boring. It can cut us off from the wellspring of life and make us unable to respond freshly, in the moment...
 


DISCOVERING THE DEEPER SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
BY JOHN E. WELSHONS

Think of how often our interactions with God have involved offering up a list of requests, or even "demands," and expecting that God or the universe should just deliver what we want right now. We are often seduced by new methods and new formulas for fulfilling our desires immediately...
 




THEY HAD ME AT HELLO
BY SHEREE DENISE RAINBOLT

Funny thing about pausing, breathing, and asking again... these valuable practices make me stop - get my head out of the clouds - and listen more carefully. When we become enamored of the next fresh Guru, in the form of a church, a person, a book, a movie, or some other pulsing belief system, we often get reeled in like blind fish...
 


KEEPING CLUTTER AWAY
BY CHRISTAN HUMMEL

While professional organizers and "clutter busters" are the rage these days, with even Oprah and Donald Trump singing the praises of these clutter gurus, few of us realize how to keep that clutter from reappearing once we've moved it out. Do we ever really ask the question, "Why does the clutter keep coming back?!"...

PLANETARY CYCLES:
Astrology, January '08

BY CAROLA EASTWOOD

The Sun Entered Capricorn at the Winter Solstice on December 21, inviting us to find inner stillness and joy. The Solstice creates a symbolic "pause in time" when the days and nights are of equal length, and in perfect harmony; as such, it is a powerful time to gain clarity on one's life and on the year ahead. This Solstice is particularly powerful...
