Get unlimited FREE tarot & astrology readings



	WELCOME TO JULY! Wow! June sure gave us a run for our money, didn't she? It'll be exciting to see what July will bring... Grace willing, we'll even keep up! Each month, PlanetLightworker takes us, the staff, on a journey - through the many wonderful articles submitted by you, our readers; through the organization and dressing of each article; through the possible covers for our upcoming issue - and each month, PLW takes us to unexpected places. It has a way of asserting its own will - reminding us again that we are instruments of its creation; we are, emphatically, not "in control." For my part, it's just one of the reasons I LOVE being a part of this magazine. For our July issue, we were delighted to discover a bright, fresh, and uplifting energy - not at all the sultry heat common to this month in the States. In case you don't have time to read every article in our July magazine, here are a few of our favorites that we wouldn't want you to miss... Thanks for sharing them with us. Vara
The Tipping Point, by Carla L. Rueckert The Bodhisattva Challenge, by Suzanne Matthiessen Embrace Your Spirit, an excerpt from Will The Real You Please Stand Up? by Fran Harris, Ph D Live and Forgive, a magical tale by Susanna Hargreaves In His Own Quiet Way, by Alan Cohen

THE TIPPING POINT
By CARLA L. RUECKERT

The time of shift is now, and has been "now" since about 1998. It is occurring as we speak. And according to Confederation philosophy this time of shift will be ongoing right through 2011. We are in an extended present moment of the culmination of all our spiritual work...

A GLOBAL NETWORK FOR PEACE
By AMANDA McLEOD

I propose that on Saturday, July 7th, 2007 at 7am & 7pm, as many souls as is humanly possible throughout the world - no matter what creed, culture, religion, or belief system - pray, meditate, visualise, concentrate upon, will, intend and/or evoke peace. There does not have to be a set prayer or meditation, just as long as the intent is the same: Peace, Love and Goodwill on Earth...

BRING THE BODY ALONG!
By LISA MARIE GUTOWSKI

Our body is source energy, just like the other layers, and in neglecting one aspect of our divine self disharmony and chaos is created. Disorder in one area attracts dysfunction in the whole. Imagine the body as the speakers of a stereo system, and all the other layers as the receiver. If you upgrade the receiver and not the speakers, when you turn on the stereo to full capacity, what will happen to the speakers? They will blow apart, because they can't handle the volume of output...

YOU ARE THE COLORS YOU CHOOSE
By ELIZABETH HARPER

It is now accepted that color can be used to stimulate or inhibit certain behaviors. Advertising executives are well aware that a product can have a completely different impact if the color of the packaging is changed. Psychologists have found that certain colors in our immediate environment can help us perform some tasks...

TRANCEFORMERS, Part 2 of 2
By JOHN JAY HARPER

My greatest revelation from my close encounter with my buddy George Viguet, after all was said and done, was that I saw the grand underlying and overriding purpose of evolution: To see into space! That is, we want to interact consciously with the Kingdom of Heaven...

Journey To the Heart Of the Goddess
BY CHRISTAN HUMMEL

Long before our current forms of Judeo-Christian, and Islamic religions prevailed, a more ancient belief swept the globe, known today as the Goddess tradition. In their original forms, even the Patriarchal religions of today had a deep and inextricable connection with the Goddess...

LIFTING YOUR VEIL, July '07:
Getting Some R&R (and R&R!)
BY LISA RENEE

These last few months have been a time where we have needed to focus more of our attention on our physical stabilization to recover from some pretty powerful energy surges and upgrades. Remember that when this is required Spirit will clear the space for you to be in isolation so that you may take good care of your self...

MOONSTRUCK:
July '07
BY YVONNE HANSON

The July lunar cycle's four major Moon phases incorporate the value of traditional skills, longing for fulfillment, knowledge transfer and performing into our consciousness. The first three convey assertive cardinal energy through fire, water and air to propel our summer projects. And, the fourth brings fixed air energy's stability to summer's projects...

LIGHT BEHIND BARS:
Soul Blossoming, July '07
BY TOM BROWN

Looking eastward across the desert and beyond the razor wire fence that encircles this prison yard, I can see the first rays of sunlight peeping over the distant mountains. The vivid yellows and oranges seem more brilliant than ever as I practice seeing them with fresh eyes. Life requires that we see with fresh vision lest it become a hopeless routine...

LIVE AND FORGIVE,
For Those Who Don't Believe Anymore
BY SUSANNA HARGREAVES

Kerry didn't notice the tiny wooden door that appeared in the wall. The door opened and out crept a little man. Smiling he went to Kerry and kissed her forehead. Kerry's eyes fluttered open and to her amazement she was staring into the most beautiful blue eyes. These all knowing, eyes belonged to the gnome like face of a little old man. Kerry immediately sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them he was still standing there...

DO YOU HAVE WISDOM - OR A CLEVER MIND? How To Tell the Difference
BY MICHAEL LEVY

Science has yet to define the meaning of wisdom in scientific terminology. I guess they require some type of clever or mathematical proof wisdom exists? Perhaps clever humans may not at this time be able to use their sophisticated minds to determine the meaning of wisdom; however, a few clever people maybe able to understand the difference between a clever mind and a mind that can embody wisdom...

PLANETARY CYCLES:
Astrology, July '07
BY CAROLA EASTWOOD

The sun entered the sensitive, feminine, water sign of Cancer, initiating the Summer Solstice on June 21. Marking the beginning of the Summer season, the Solstice happens when the sun reaches its farthest northern point, creating the longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere before it begins its gradual decent. It is, in essence, a "turning point", and provides a catalyst for important changes...

THE CHAKRAS:
Your Energy Pipeline, Part 1
BY CARLA L. RUECKERT

Picture a pipe which runs along your spine from the bottom of it to the top. Along it lies a rainbow of energy centers. The incoming energy from the Creator enters the pipe at the lowest chakra or energy center, the red ray. It proceeds upwards - if the pipe is not blocked...

RHYMING STORIES:
Soul Reminder: Loving Again
BY DANA MRKICH

The decision to heal
Is a hard one to make
It's easier to wallow
And pity your Fate

"Why Oh God
Is this happening to me?"
This is the cry that comes
When we don't take responsibility...

PUNK SCIENCE:
Inside the Mind of God
BY DR. MANJIR SAMANTA-LAUGHTON, MD

Have a look around you. What do you see? Chances are you are reading this in a room, perhaps in an office. What is around you? Take a moment to list the objects in your mind. Maybe there are people around you. Where are you in this scene?

GUERILLA SPIRITUALITY:
The Bodhisattva Challenge
BY SUZANNE MATTHIESSEN

Spiritual people are by definition a peace-loving bunch - in theory at least if not always in practice. Yet each one of us is engaged in a holy war within, an internal tug-of-war jihad between rulership by our ego or by our Higher Self. It takes the fearless stance of a warrior to cut through the illusions...

POWER ANIMALS:
Polar Bear Power Unleashed!
BY CARRIE HART

You have a very special strength inside, and it comes from this: You know that everything is balanced. You know that the days of hunger are balanced with the days of plenty. You know that the long dark winter is balanced with the bright summer days of dazzling beauty. You feel this balance in your soul and accept it easily and with grace...

A KICK IN THE ASTRAL
Part 2
BY DANIEL JACOB

New Paradigm (Oneness-Based) Reality takes the premise "I am more than my body" and expands that idea to infinity. Fortunately, a journey to infinity can be a comfortable stairway, graduating a person in levels that are exactly proportioned to his (or her) readiness to move...

SPIRIT NOODLES:
On Being One's Heart Content
BY JIM YOUNG

There is only one of two decisions that can be made regarding the content of our heart: to be filled with the Spirit of loving - or not. Life is always simple this way, is it not? We have applied this simple test in our journey as Lovers: either we are being Loving - or we are not...

EMBRACE YOUR SPIRIT,
from Will the Real You Please Stand Up?
BY FRAN HARRIS, Ph D

Every encounter, every interaction, and every experience carries a spiritual message - sometimes many messages. Don't miss those. The problem is that most of the time we don't want to pick up our messages. Ever know that you have a voice mail but you didn't want to listen to your messages?

ACTIVATING YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH NATURE,
from Earth Spirit Living
BY ANN MARIE HOLMES

Whether or not you think of yourself as sensitive, I assure you: this basic awareness and ability is intrinsic to all human beings. Like riding a bike or speaking another language, everyone can learn how to use it...

HEAVENLETTERS™:
July '07
BY GLORIA WENDROFF

There is always a point of no return. This is a good thing. You cannot turn back the imaginary clock. You cannot resurrect the dead as they were, as you were, as you once thought you were, they were, life was. There is solely to be. And you do that irrespective of where your body is placed...

FROM THE HEART:
In His Own Quiet Way
BY ALAN COHEN

For nearly twenty years, I have been patronizing a small video store on a country road near my home. Over the years I got to know the proprietor, an amiable, otherwise-retired chap named Don. Don and I regularly schmoozed over the counter about movies, our families, our dogs, and philosophies of life...

BY TONY TOLIN
