BLESSINGS OF AUGUST! In celebration of PlanetLightworker's eighth anniversary, we have put together a very special Free Bonus section for you featuring our winners of the "Best of PLW Awards 2006/2007".

Thank you all so very much for all of your support. Without our readers, PLW magazine would be unable to remain the extraordinary net environment that it is. In honor of our eighth birthday we present our annual Best of PLW Awards list. Although it's impossible to recognize the brilliance of every author and artist that has graced us with their gift over the past year, we have cast our votes to bring you samples of the work of the winner in each of our 6 top categories.

Once again, we wish to mention Kathleen Jacoby and Carolina Eastwood-Parkyn for the excellence of their monthly Numerology and Astrology reports. Every month, since virtually the beginning, these two columnists have stood with us, unfailingly providing valuable, practical applications of celestial guidance. Since it is impossible to choose between them, we simply wish to acknowledge and honor their commitment to life, to love, and to PLW, and thank them for their professional and selfless service.

To access each winner glide your mouse over the categories below.

PLAYING IN THE FIELD
By MATTHEW JOYCE

Scientist, spiritual seeker, visionary. These are just a few of the appellations used to describe best-selling author Gregg Braden whose paradigm-shattering books are bridging the gap between science and spirituality. But Gregg's true strengths are revealed when he combines these...

WRITING FOR STRESS RELIEF
By ANGELICA DORIAN

As I sat here typing away about a situation that has caused me great pain and suffering over the last few weeks, I realized that I had to get a message out about writing. People whose minds go a mile a minute like mine does, need to have some form of release. Writing in a journal is a nice touch. But for someone like me, I tend to write on and on and on to the point where my handwriting is atrocious...

TAKE ME TO TRUTH: Undoing the Ego
By NOUK SANCHEZ
and TOMAS VIEIRA

What is that elusive something that we are always seeking but somehow never find? Is it happiness? Well, no, not really. If we think about it, much of what has brought us happiness in the past has also caused us pain through its loss or change. And whatever is making us happy is continually under threat of possible loss or change. So, what do you think will make you happy? Forever? What could bring us permanent happiness that would not also be susceptible to loss, destruction or change and then cause us pain or suffering?

THE REAL SECRET: Spiritual Intelligence
By WILLIAM DIEDRICH

The word spirit comes from the Latin word spiritus, meaning "breath". Spirit is the breath of life. The word intelligent is from the Latin, intelligentia, meaning "choosing between". Spiritual Intelligence is our ability to choose between spirit and ego. We consciously practice spiritual intelligence when we intentionally choose spirit over ego, love over fear, and the highest good for all over selfish interest...

TAKE THE PATH OF SELF-CONSTRUCTION
By MARLENE BUFFA

We hear things such as someone is "on a path of self-destruction" or acts as "his own worst enemy." Rarely do we hear accolades of emotional rebirth or those rising from adversity or overcoming obstacles. We need to turn our attention and focus to different routes of growth...

LIFTING YOUR VEIL, August '07:
Personal Truth and Discernment

BY LISA RENEE

The energies of July set us off into an entirely new direction, an uncharted course to further embody the next stages of our spiritual development and personal evolution. As written last month we continue in this phase of growth with an enormous amount of personal "reorganization" and its effects having "reassigned" us into new pathways...
 


PLANETVISIONS:
Karmascape, August '07
BY MARK KRUEGER

This is a magical month indeed. Huge archetypal forces are in movement. Quakes and tsunamis will be manifest on the outside and on the inside. Give up anchoring to some security. You'll only be flattened and flooded by more drama than you'd care to entertain...
 


LIGHT BEHIND BARS:
Soul Blossoming, August '07

BY TOM BROWN

What are we to do with the leaks, the mistakes we've made? Those years were not wasted, though, for it's in the "cracks" of our lives that the light shines through. We would not have the awareness we have today other than by the path we have traveled...
 




THE FRUIT OF SUPREME GROWTH: Humility

BY SAHIL

Humility is not an effort or a practice or a rule. Humility is a result, an outcome, a fruit of the supreme growth. One does not become great by practicing to be humble. Yes, the great ones have been very humble, but their humility is result of their supreme victory over themselves...
 


A MEDITATION ON LOVE

BY J. RUTH GENDLER

"Love is blind," we say, but perhaps it is more accurate to say love sees with different eyes. Love sees beyond the surface. Love opens the door for beauty. When we see with the eye, we develop the ability to refine, to judge, to discriminate. When we see with the heart, we expand the view of what it is to be human, see the common dream, see the wisdom of friends and neighbors, see there is no separation between that which is most beautiful and the everyday world...
 




THE CONTEMPORARY BODHISATTVA:
Exceptional Self-Care

BY SUZANNE MATTHIESSEN

A fearless, compassionate spiritual warrior - a Bodhisattva at any stage in the process - takes great care of his or herself, as we know we cannot be of the highest and best service if we are not at living within the highest and best of our abilities. Therefore, we know the best defense is an energy field that is strong enough to weather anything...
 


HEAVENLETTERS™:
August '07

BY GLORIA WENDROFF

No perhaps about it. If you do not love your life, then you have underestimated it. You found life guilty of not being what you wanted, and so you sentenced yourself to an indefinite term of something akin to despair. What have you not noticed this morning, beloveds? Have you noticed how the sun lights up one side of the trees, shows you the delicacy of leaves...


FROM THE HEART:
Right Where You Stand

BY ALAN COHEN

I saw an inspiring video about a young man with Down Syndrome who worked as a bagger in a supermarket. In addition to enjoying connecting with customers, Michael wanted to contribute to their day. So he wrote down his favorite inspiring quotations, had them photocopied, and each day he slipped a different quote in each customer's bag as they were checking out...



THE CHAKRAS:
Your Energy Pipeline, Part 2

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: Issues

BY DANA MRKICH

Issues you say?
Oh those I've got plenty
Just browse around
You'll find more than twenty

I heal and release them
But more just pop up

PUNK SCIENCE:
Inside the Mind of God

BY DR. MANJIR SAMANTA-LAUGHTON, MD

Prayer has been the focus of numerous scientific trials. It has been subjected to the sort of rigorous scrutiny that is normally given to the testing of a new drug (namely double blind randomized studies). To the surprise of many, prayer actually seems to work!...
 


POWER ANIMALS:
Swan Power Unleashed!

BY CARRIE HART

You are comfortable in more than one world. You are at home on the water and in the sky, able to express very disparate parts of your personality and inner life, yet always with that grace that is your marked characteristic. When you are floating or swimming on the water, you are in a state of deep tranquility...
 


A KICK IN THE ASTRAL
Part 3

BY DANIEL JACOB

The gathering awareness that humanity is going forward in Astral Travel, beyond our wildest dreams, creates a dilemma for our Conscious Mind. Once it is proven to us that we can "go out" - and there are beings and "truths" out there to explore - a question arises...
 


THE INVISIBLE GARMENT:
Part 27:
The Principle of Randomness

BY CONNIE KAPLAN

Here at PlanetLightworker we will focus on one of The Garment's 30 spiritual principles each month. We will examine the various principles as they show up in the lives of 21st Century planetary citizens. This month we will discuss "cosmic wisdom" and the principle of Randomness...

SPIRIT NOODLES:
On Living Your Heart's Desire

BY JIM YOUNG

I want to present to you an alternative to the frantic kinds of coping with life we engage in from moment to moment. It is a simple concept, but one that is contrary to most of what we have been taught or have otherwise have come to believe in. I call this alternative living in your heart's desire. Let us begin our look at this alternative - living by our heart's desires - by first examining what the heart and desire actually can be...
 




ARE WE PASSIVE OBSERVERS OR POWERFUL CREATORS?
From The Divine Matrix

BY GREGG BRADEN

In a participatory universe, the act of focusing our consciousness - of us looking somewhere and examining the world - is an act of creation in and of itself. We're the ones observing and studying our world. We're the mind (or at least part of a greater mind), as Planck described. Everywhere we look, our consciousness makes something for us to look at. In our search to find the smallest particle of matter and our quest to define the edge of the universe, this relationship suggests that we may never find either. No matter how deeply we peer into the quantum world of the atom or how far we reach into the vastness of outer space, the act of us looking with the expectation that something exists may be precisely the force that creates something for us to see...
 


THE TREE THAT TALKED
BY JENNY SMEDLEY

The tree could not have burst into life and grown were it not for the girl's sacrifice, because the barren ground was so compacted by years of pounding wind and rain that there was little airspace and no oxygen for the roots to use. The girl's burial and her mortal remains broke up the soil and provided a place for the acorn to sprout, as well as nourishment. Without the acorn the girl would not have been able to leave a whisper of herself on Earth. It was a strange, mutual symbiosis of quite different consciousnesses. And yet on a deep energetic level both were intrinsically the same...

PLANETARY CYCLES:
Astrology, August '07

BY CAROLA EASTWOOD

The sun entered the fiery, expressive, dramatic sign of Leo on July 22, beginning a month-long cycle of self-exploration, fun, and creative expression. A positive, fixed fire sign, Leo calls for adventure, romance, challenge, and authentic self-expression. While the sun is in Leo, the emphasis for everyone is on fulfilling our personal desires, knowing ourselves more deeply, and having fun...
