2010....

I like to spend a little time reflecting on the year that has come to a close, before consciously letting go of it and turning toward the new. You will probably do the same.

2009 was a year in which nothing seemed to fit together the way it used to. I doubt you need to be reminded that illnesses, deaths, loss of work and relationships were happening everywhere. I'm sure you experienced one or more in your own life. A lot has been happening on a mass scale, perhaps leading to a critical mass shift on this planet.

Much of the turbulence is caused by the passing influence of the Piscean Age, with its emphasis on authority and unquestioning belief, and the coming into the Aquarian Age, which demands direct knowledge and encourages "do it yourself" tendencies. I have stressed time and time again and in as many ways as I can think of, that your focus is shifting away from outside authority, belief systems and validation, to the inner directed authority of the soul or higher self. You can all feel it, but also the bouncing back and forth between outer directed and inner directed, almost as though you are living in two worlds. The ego part of us wants to revert to the old pattern of running the show but the soul is taking charge, sometimes gently and sometimes with what feels like force. The amount of force is equal to the amount of your resistance.

Enormous changes are taking place and no path is easy. Control, discipline, non judgment are essential. Maybe this will lead to a greater understanding of the true brotherhood of men (and women) or maybe you will feel increased separation. If you cannot connect, you will disconnect.

You are still in the process of rediscovering how vast and powerful you are. You have an advantage if you can truly trust your inner guildence system, and that includes being conscious of how your body feels....and what it is telling you.
There shall be more and more knowledge to come..........

Even with all the challenges this year presented, I can still let it go and feel the joy of turning the calendar to 2010. While things may still seem up in the air, heavy and difficult, there is no question that we all are living in a time of incredible, far reaching change. The BIG CHANGE or only real change is the one that is happening inside of you. Everything else is merely a reflection of that.

So, from my soul, my divine spark, to yours, I say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HOW TO GET THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESIRES*

With hopes you can do this exercise often. Now sit back and visualize your entire chest area enveloped in a pink aura.

1...Take in a breath to the count of six while you hold this visualization.

2...Hold your breath in for a count of twelve and as you do so raise the pink cloud to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

3...Release your breath slowly to the count of eight and at the same time expand the pink cloud so that it includes your head and the upper part of your body.

4...When your breath is expelled and your lungs are empty, hold your breath out to the count of twelve and at the same time keep in your mind's eye the visualization of the shining pink cloud surrounding your head and upper body.

5...Now, center your consciousness in your throat and visualize a bright blue aura enveloping your throat and shoulders.

6...Take a breath to the count of six and hold the visualization of the blue aura.

7...Hold your breath in for a count of twelve and as you do raise the blue aura to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

8...Release your breath slowly to a count of eight and and the same time expand the blue cloud so that it includes your head and the upper part of your body.

9...When your breath is expelled and your lungs are empty, hold your breath out for the count of twelve and at the same time maintain the visualization of the bright blue aura enveloping your head and upper body.

10..Now, center your consciousness in your pituitary gland. This is in the skull right above the bridge of your nose and between the eyebrows about one-half inch back of the forehead. As you do, visualize a brilliant white light around your head and count six while you breathe in.

11..Hold your breath for a count of twelve and raise the white aura to a point about three inches above the top of your head.

12..Release your breath to the count of eight and as you do so feel the pituitary center join in with the center above your head so that they become as one while the light created by this fusion lights up the whole room.

13..When your breath is expelled hold your lungs empty for the count of twelve and see that brilliant sun-like aura expand so that it includes your head and the entire upper part of your body above the waist.

14..RELAX AND SIT IN QUIET MEDITATION FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES. DURING THIS PERIOD. PETITION FOR WHAT YOU NEED. IF IT IS A WORTHY PETITION, IT WILL BE GRANTED.
BEFORE YOU RISE SAY TO YOURSELF "LET GOOD BEFALL THE WORLD"
For those who plant the seeds, the rewards are great!! Joseph Weed

A HAPPY & HEALTHY HOLIDAY TO ALL

2010

JOY TO THE WORLD

This is the season of giving gifts to your loved ones and friends. It's a season of sparkling lights, warm gatherings and celebrating tradition all over the world. It's also the season of over eating, over drinking and over spending. This year is the same as others in that respect, although the over spending part of things continues to intensify. The balance is more and more out of whack. Do you feel that?

I know you can still remember a time when you were carefree and less encumbered by this kind of pressure but that was then and this is now. The world around you has changed; have you changed and found some balance or are you still just reacting by shaking your fist at the sky? Do you feel things pressing in on you, forcing you to change? How you feel can provide you with important information about where you are in the process of balancing the shifts going on around and within you. If it hurts, makes you feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, you have to ask yourself if you are still operating under an old belief system that is no longer in alignment with the changes and cosmos.
Your resistance is where those uncomfortable feelings come from.

I am using the holidays as a metaphor for something bigger and broader and I hope you can see that it ties into a lot of what I have been writing here all year.
The metaphor could apply to politics, religion, personal freedom, civil rights, racism, global warming, media schmedia fear mongers, so-called love and light workers, you name it.

You have come down a long and sometimes agonizing road to a point where you have to connect the dots and see things as they are. The bill has come due and it's past the time to pop the bubble of illusion in which you have been living. If you insist on continuing to exist in the old world with an old worn out belief system, the pressure will increase. The greater the resistance to change, the more force you will feel pressing against you. What does it take to get the message?
As we approach the New Year, you should feel blessed that you are breathing and still here in the incredible earth school, mastering the art of being a boundless spirit having a human experience in physical space-time.

Getting back to my Holiday metaphor, if you are not feeling the joy to the world thing, please take a closer look at the belief operating system you are using. Free yourself from the old patterns and find the joy inside of you. Let the hallelujah spring from within you.

Postscript: You can make New Years resolutions based on the old things you have wanted in the past.....that which is NOW. Finishing the known is where you are now and currently exploring new possibilities perhaps you never thought of before....
There is no greater gift!!
