Whew, wasn't this a rough month? Mercury was retrograde for most of September and communications sure felt blocked, frustrating and, in plain English stucko!.. Stick with it, guys and dolls. November seems more promising for starting your engines again. Bits and pieces of new energies are still coming through. If you've been doing the work of releasing and letting go, there shouldn't be too much of the old "stuff" left to cling to and you are probably feeling a little lighter. (or just plain blotto).
For those of you who haven't cleared away the old and tattered, there may be feelings of depression and despair. You have better get at it.
If you could do it all over again, what would you want your life to be? I asked several people who answered that they would like .."To be younger and know what I know today". What an intriguing idea. I walked around thinking about that for awhile and came up with another question: Instead of applying it to the past, how about applying it to what's ahead?
Replaying those old tapes of the past is like watching the same movie over and over again.
You know the plot and the starring role so well. You are the victim and people or circumstances have done you wrong, you are angry and seeking revenge; you are stomped on and get no respect; you work your butt off for years and can't get ahead; you give everything you've got and still can't find love. It's all so depressing and BORING!
Catching on?
YOU ARE THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. YOU, YOUR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR THOUGHTS. The magnificent computer system that sits between your ears can be defragged, reprogrammed and rebooted so that the sum total of your thoughts adds up to something new.
Make a list of all the things you want to do. Include whatever brings you peace, contentment and pleasure. Attend a retreat, meditation or yoga class or just seek out places of solitude. Close your eyes and listen to the silence, as a way to get in touch with your true feelings. Pay attention to your intuition because it will help you find your direction. Shut off the TV, internet and all the other media assault weapons and take a walk.... Continue to let go and let go and let go, always with love, forgiveness and gratitude. Find new ways to balance yourself and your life. The
secret of life cannot be found in money or possessions but in love for yourself and all living things.
To quote Esther Hicks and Abraham: "You can stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But, most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast.
So, the amount of time that it takes between illness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure how to let in....for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad".

I AM NO STRANGER TO DEATH
Physical death is something everyone must eventually face. If someone you love has died, it makes sense that you would think about what happens after death.
My first jolt of that reality came to me in the 70's when my brother Stuart died, followed by the death of my cousin Jeff. Both were in their early 20's, young, fit and strong. Their deaths hit me hard. Emotional pain is one sure way to force a change in perspective and mine was spun around 180 degrees. I desperately needed to know if death was simply the end or simply a continuation of life on another plane of existence and in some other form. The need to know was a powerful motivator for me. Looking back, I wonder if the intense curiosity I felt was a way for my spirit guides or helpers to kick me in the butt and tell me to get serious about the spiritual part of my life.
It wasn't long before I got the proof I was seeking. I learned they were not far away at all. I saw them and received messages~ my three daughters had glimpses too~ and I knew that Stu and Jeff were just fine. Even today, whenever I need them, our thoughts meet and I am reminded that there really is no separation at all.
I believe it is more difficult for those who are left behind than for those who have died. There can be grief and sorrow, anger or guilt that lingers for years. Death often makes you think about your own physical existence, your own mortality, and that can bring up some frightening associations. Who will be next, Is it me? Anything that may extend your life, anything that keeps the wolf at the door, is sought after. I think there is a better way.
We should all ask questions about life or death or anything else, and turn inward for answers. Stop watching the clock and measuring success or failure according to some social, political or religious yard stick. Rely less on your five physical senses and more on the guidance from your own soul. It is a lot more reliable. Most important is the knowledge that it isn't the length of time you are here that matters, as much as the quality of the experience. That means living up to your potential, fulfilling your purpose and having a reverence for all life.
Life is a gift. Treat it as something sacred.
*I am dedicating this to my friend Karen Ettinger,
whose recent passing gave me a chance to remember.
She is with the stars and on the wind, and I know she is doing just fine!

BARBWIRE NEWS BULLETS FOR LAST QUARTER OF 2009
The secret of change is to focus ALL your energy, not on fighting the old. but on building the new.
Socrates*
. Yes, we are re-focusing on all our agenda's and getting ready to make new choices.
. You are tired of being tired and angry and with acceptance and forgiveness you begin to feel personal healing taking place as you evaluate your choices and losses to challenge your status quo and insecurities.
. You shall formulate your survival tactics with all your attachments, evaluate your losses and release the fear inside of you. Perhaps, if you feel empty, getting through the year will make you feel alive again. Releasing negative expectations will open you to new relationships.
. Breakups: Marriage, divorces, partnerships will finalize as you decide what works best for you.
. As part of the masses, you begin to understand how we have been controlled as a species.
We have come to the point of evolution that the control of capitalism has cleverly expanded the system of horrors.
. We have come to the edge of movement as we are no longer in a time of preparation, we are in
the front row seat seeing how the old system rally worked. As we emerge, the veil lifts.
. The veil lifts offering you greater clarity.
There is no escape in getting to the new unprecedented ways. Transformation comes through
when you are empty and all old illusions are gone.
Then, Collective consciousness will begin to work. Hopefully, the masses won't take to the streets!
. 12 star systems make up our original origin. We have all come to earth as one unified
experience. (meaning, we have all come from somewhere)
. As the unrest escalates, people will decide where the most positive use of their energy will be.
. Pollution on the planet will begin to improve little by little.
. The dream state shall become extremely active.
. New babies are being born, more fully aware, and they will further assist in helping the new world to come.
. You will take all the responsibility for your own health and needs. Why don't you sprinkle a little lavender oil on a hankie to breathe in while traveling in airports. It can make germs impossible to penetrate in your system.
. It's okay to be on neutral now, if you feel you have done the work, but in this awakening
process, time will begin to accelerate rapidly as we awaken from the "dead" and experience a feeling of new life.
.......... Just ask the DIVINE MIND to work for your highest good.
For now, tidbits on Barb's Wire...
